Broadcast is from downtown Los Angeles with the host, H. And as usual, show us some feedback, show us some love. The back to the list is recorded on this. Yeah. I thought I could just transfer whatever we didn't get. Yeah. So we gotta do that all over again or? It turns off sometimes. That's what happened last time. That's weird. Oh, we have a good little... Little thing going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright, so... Well yeah, um... It's crazy how radio stations communicate. Throw antennas. Yeah, throw antennas, yeah. And now it's just podcasting. Things are different now. I mean, we'll figure it out as we go along. Yeah, the first, you know, we're dipping our toes into the water and we'll see what works, what doesn't work. But yeah, the thing is to try. If we stop now, we can't quit. Yeah, that's true. So, like I said, how was your week, though? Pretty good. I mean, I tried to... I guess I was breaking my head and trying to talk to some people that, you know, kind of gave me... Ideas where to go, yeah? Yeah, ideas, yeah. Or kind of feedback. And the good thing, I got other people involved. So I got a little Cousins music. Think you heard it? Oh yes, yes. I think it was pretty good. And I got three tracks. That one was the one I... I mean, I got two more, but that one I kind of liked it. Hopefully, you know, we get more. Yeah, I mean, like I said, we're just dipping our toes into this thing, into the water and see what works, what doesn't work. I mean, the good thing is that right now we're trying to figure out, you know, what's going to work, what's the audience going to like. Yeah, a little bit of everything. Yeah, a little bit of everything. And like I said, nothing's written in stone yet. What was the last podcast we were talking about Halloween? I went to that Carved... Yeah. Oh man, it was just... The most scary movies. Yeah, scary movies too. The remakes and... Oh yeah. Oh boy, it was just that. And I told you guys I was going to go to that Carved event in... Oh, I've seen it. Yeah, it was pretty... But you know what, I don't know, it's just that whenever I go to events, if I see it's like a family-oriented kind of thing, I feel like, seriously, everyone has their families. I was like the only person that went just by myself taking pictures. I don't know, people like, they do pay attention to their surroundings and they see, oh, that's odd, there's this guy, single, who might be a dancer or a pedophile or something. Like a little pumpkin. And there were little pumpkins. But anyway. Trying to take a pumpkin and turn it into an American pie. Or a pumpkin pie, yeah. But it was just weird. Well, I mean, like I said, I like to try new things. I wanted to check this out. I think they were telling me that, you know, because of COVID, this is the first time they brought it back. So it was like, I mean, it was still good. They had like this fog machine and it was pretty cool. Because the way they presented the lighting, it looked like you were going to this creepy forest. And they were like, you know what, the pumpkins, the... And then like a farm. Yeah. And I don't know, it was like small, but you know what, it was good. And they told me that they were planning maybe for next time, just expand it. This was like their first time doing this. What do you call that? This is the first time after COVID, like, you know, doing this and they wanted to expand it a little bit. But it was pretty good. I mean, there was like people, there were like a couple of people like carving the pumpkin. And I don't know, it was pretty good. I found it pretty good, even though it was like, I guess it was just geared for families. And I was like the odd person. That's why I never go to places like Disneyland. I don't know, it does feel... I mean, is it odd to you? Like you see, okay, you're with your family in Disneyland. And it's a family-oriented theme park, right? And you see this single guy, like, because then like, wait a minute, this is odd, right? You can't pretend you're the owner. I'm part of the Walt Disney family. I'm the lonely, scared frog. But it is odd, right? It's like, it's weird, like, wait a minute, like, what is this person like? And you know, immediately you think bad things about that person. You don't think, oh, maybe, you know, I know, I don't know, just some guy that just wants to go enjoy. I don't know the theme park, but I don't know. But you know, I went to, it was pretty nice. It was like, it's a nice area, though. La Cañada, La Cañada Fletchridge, if I'm pronouncing that right. Did you end up carving any pumpkins? No, no, but you know what, I sound like the, I guess, what do you call those, the professionals. Like, they had like a whole bunch of pumpkins, and they were like carving pumpkins. I've seen them, they were like nice. Oh, yeah, yeah, like, wow, like, I'm telling you, like, you asked me, like, oh, I asked you, I don't remember. Like, do you carve pumpkins, do you try to carve them? I told you, like, when was it? Like, I don't remember, but I remember trying once, and like, it didn't come out like, really. Yeah, like you wanted it. Oh, yeah. Because, I mean, I've seen them, but it's like, it's hard to do it. Yeah, yeah. Because you can't do it with a big sharpie. Yeah. Or, I don't know, maybe a pencil. Probably. But, then again, you need the right tools. Yeah, but, I mean, these guys were like, there were like two. Carving tools. Yeah, oh, three, like, older gentlemen just carving. Like, wow, like, they had Rick and Morty, Snoopy, the people who passed away this year. So, you know, it's just, like, wow, it's just amazing. They're artists, like, they know how to carve. It's just, yeah, it's pretty, it was amazing. It's just so hard. I don't know, I don't know how to do it. It's just, I guess, in art form. To our viewers and listeners, put your comments in the bottom. And, because I don't even know how to do it, like. Yeah. Because you got to pick up the seeds and, I guess, dry it up or something. I don't even know. I don't even know. I was going to ask, but I was going to go bug them. I mean, there were people coming up to them and asking questions. But, you know, they were trying to, I mean, how many days left until Halloween? The 23rd. So, today's the 23rd? Yeah, it's the 23rd. Holy shoot, yeah, that time, man. Six more days. Yeah, yeah. And the only thing, you know, the only thing bad about this Halloween, this year's Halloween, is it's going to be like, it's going to fall on a Monday. On a Monday. On a Monday, yeah. Just, I don't know, maybe Sunday, yeah, because technically you could stay out all Saturday night. Yeah, trick or treat all Sunday. Yeah. And go to church and get the candy from there, from church. Yeah, pretty much. I know some churches do. Some do, some don't. Yeah, it's just weird. But anyway, it was fun, and then, well, Eddie, I already told you this, but I guess the audience doesn't know, like, usually, like, during the weekdays, I walk. Because, you know, it reduces stress, you know, it just clears your mind, also it's good exercise. I was like, I got a, I know we're going to gain some pounds Thanksgiving, Christmas, with tamales, turkey, and leftovers, and, you know, whatever. Yeah, whatever, whatever food. But, yeah, but it's just that, also, dude, I gained a lot of pounds, like, during COVID and what was it that, during the riots, what was it, like, quarantine and those curfews, yeah. Did you know quarantine? Yeah, because you know what happens? You know what happens? 60, 90 days. Hey, man, because you know what, I was working, at first, at a job, here in Santa Fe Springs, California, where we were working for a contractor, where we were a contractor for Metro. You know what, it was like a, I want to say kickback job, because it was just easy, it wasn't rocket science, we just put the ads in the buses and all that. And it was weird, because they told me, like, on Monday, like, hey, we don't want you to show up on Monday. Like, what? Yeah, don't show up. They gave me, like, a little paper, oh, just log in to your computer, I think it was to whatever video conferencing app, and I think I did it from my phone. And yeah, they told us, like, hey, you know what, this never happened before, but we gotta let a lot of you guys go. And it's funny, because as soon as I heard that, I immediately applied for unemployment, and that shit took forever. I know, they were waiting for like, six or seven months, I think, maybe a month, something like that. Yeah, something like that. Because you know what happened? Like, good thing I had savings, but I was looking at my savings, and it was just draining, like, dude. And the thing is that supposedly, they were going to, well, they didn't say that the bills were going to stop, but the bills didn't stop. Like, I didn't know what to do. And I was trying to call the unemployment people, and dude, it was like forever. I remember I waited like two, three hours, and I was like, you know what, I gotta find a new job, and I found a job close to my house. But in the meantime, those months, I just stayed home, ate pizza for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and I gained a lot of pounds. And then that thing with the riots, the curfews, like, yeah, yeah. So, I don't know, just weird times, and I gained, well, now I'm a little skinnier, but I really got pretty, yeah. Like, I weighed myself, and I used to weigh like one, like, I'm not telling you or the folks at home, like, I was like, oh, the perfect specimen of, but no, it's just that I used to weigh like 190, and then, I don't know, I recently weighed myself, and I'm like 215. I'm pretty sure I was like 220, 225 during the epidemic and the curfew. So, what I'm doing is just trying to, you know, just, it looks good, because I'm watching the girls, you know, outside, and right now, the weather's getting a little cooler, you know, I'm enjoying it, and going to different places. So, I walk around, like, the Echo Park, Silver Lake area, and when was it? I think it was on, this is what happened, I think it was on Tuesday, you know those signals, the traffic signals? Yeah, so, I saw this kid, I want to say he's a kid, but he was like no more than 30. I think he was in maybe early, early 20s, or late, you know, 19, 20, whatever. And, I don't know if you noticed, like, in the traffic signal, there's like a little door, like, way in the bottom, like, near the floor, you know, the sidewalk. And, this kid just, I don't know, he just, I don't know, he has these tools in his pocket, he opens the door, I thought he was going to get electrocuted. He cuts the wires, I don't know, and then he somehow Mickey Mouse the wires into, he has this, like, yellow, I guess at one time it was white, yellowish extension cord. And, I don't know, he just, I thought he was going to get, like I said, electrocuted, like, I was just, the signal turns off, like, and I'm just standing there, like, I don't know what to do, like, like. I'm pretty sure if I tell him no, he's going to attack me, or, you know, go tell me to go fuck yourself or something. And, then he, I don't know, he Mickey Mouse the wires into this, like, yellow extension cord, and then he hooks up his extension cord to a... Phone charger? Phone charger, yeah. I don't know how he did it, though. That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy, I thought he was going to get electrocuted. Either he learned that on YouTube, or... I don't know, but... Or something, or relatives. Yeah, I don't know, like, and I'm saying, like, why are you in the streets, though? Like, bro, you could be, like, an electrician or something. Yeah, but if he has a criminal record already, that's where it sucks. Dude, the dude looked young, like, but he seemed like... Maybe he's a felon, he can't get hired. That's sad. Because he didn't ask for a background check. Yeah, I mean, he's all dirty, and I don't know, I was just amazed, like, dude, he takes out, you know, this tool, and then he brings out the, like, cutters, yeah, and... Like, he wasn't scared, like, nothing, like, okay, cut here, grab this, you know, put them here in the extension cord, and, you know, plug in my charger, and charge my phone. That's crazy. Yeah, like, and I'm just standing there, and I remember, I don't know, there was, like, one cop car that passes by, and I don't know, like, they don't want to do anything, like, they're scared, like... Yeah. And they just walk away, just... And then on Friday, again, homeless people, like... So, I'm done, this time I decided, you know what, I'm just gonna walk Echo Park. Okay, finished. So, I usually go to this place, there's a supermarket, like, a block away from Echo Park, called Lasks. And, so, I go, buy my food, and there's, like, this little trailer, they sell Mexican food, and everyone goes there, I haven't tasted it, like, I've been curious, because I've seen a lot of people, like, every time I pass by, there's always people. And this homeless guy just goes, like, I want to say, like, no more than seven feet, eight feet, like, where people are eating, and, you know, they're preparing food. And this food just drops his pants, and, you know, just takes a dump. And there's some part here, a main street here, two blocks away, there's people selling either elotes, corn on the cob, and other things, like churros or whatever. And then there's people that are right next to him, like, homeless, and half naked, and just... It's so weird, just so weird. And then it's, I don't know, it's just, I mean, disgusted, disgusting a little bit. Yeah, it is, yes. Because you don't want to... And then you don't want to, like, I don't know, because you don't know if they're going to act violently, or... Yeah. And then I heard that there was this girl that this homeless guy comes up to her and asks, you know, hey, do you have a lighter? And she goes, no, right? And then the guy had, like, these, I guess they said it was scissors or something, and just stabs her in the head with a knife. So, I don't know, it's just... You got to be careful out there. Yeah, it's just, I don't know, the world's, especially LA, it's a crazy place right now, so... Yeah, yeah. But it's really, really crazy out there. Yeah, it's just weird, like, I don't know, but anyway, but... It's just, I just find it, I don't know, every time I go, I know you see homeless people, but it's just, it's just weird, like, the way... Maybe it's just because they have mental issues, or, but it's just, like, I don't know, it's just, I don't know. And is there a solution to this problem? Maybe there is. Or maybe it's more complicated than we think. It's pretty hard. Yeah. It's pretty hard to help somebody that doesn't want it. Yeah, I know. They'd rather stay in the streets. Yeah. It's more easier, they're more... I mean, there's people out there that actually need it and want it, but they're scared to get the hand to help them. It's weird. I don't know, it's just, I don't know, strange times. And you know what's so funny? It's not... I thought this was just, like, an American thing, but no, I was watching, like, in Vancouver, they have the same problem. Like, this guy was going down some street in Vancouver, and you would have thought it'd be like Skid Row in LA. Like, it's just, I don't know, it's just... And Canada, you know, they have free health care, free... And, you know what? I thought they was making this up, but no, it looked like Skid Row, like, in LA. Wow. And this is Vancouver, I thought, okay, Canada... Yeah, it's pretty stable, I guess. Yeah, like, because I went to, like, well, this was a while back, in 2000... I want to say 2006 or 2007, I went to Toronto. It's clean. Like, it's like America, but just clean. Like, clean, clean, clean. Clean and green. Yeah. And I only saw, like, homeless people twice. Twice. So I was, like, shocked. Like, I don't know, it seemed like it exploded, like, these last... Two years? Three years? Half, yeah. I want to say, yeah. So it's just weird, but... Yeah, so those are my adventures. I don't know, I know I see them... You know what, you see these every day, but I don't know, I just can't... I can't be... I'm still shocked. Like, every time I see it, it's like, boom. Especially what they do, and I don't know, people turn a blind eye, as you say, and they just don't, like, oh, can't see it. But, oh, it's just... I don't know, it's always shocking. Always shocking to see it, but those were my adventures of the last couple of days. But I was here, I mean, any adventures with you, Eddie? I want to. I want to go and, I guess, take some pictures. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, for the podcast or something, man. Yeah, we should. Maybe a podcast at the beach or something. Yeah, take the podcast to the road. Yeah, yeah, that'd be fun. I mean... Road trip. Road trip. Somewhere nice, somewhere fancy. Not fancy, but somewhere where... Do some wine tasting. Yeah. I mean, Barcerobas or something. It's nice up there. As mouthwash, wine tasting. Yeah, up north is pretty nice. I don't know, it's just different from Southern California. It's kind of weird, like, you go... What was it? Again, this is before the pandemic. I went to, you know, Solvang, right? It's in Santa Barbara. And I went, it was early in the morning, and dude, a lot of people are friends that go, hey, you know, everyone was like, good morning, good morning. I don't know, here, you tell someone good morning and they give you a finger, they give you a bird. But yeah, over there is just, I don't know, maybe because it's a small town, a very small town. And it's weird because there's Solvang, then there's a farm, and there's a forest. It's just, I don't know, it's pretty nice. I wish I could live up there. I mean, I don't know, is there anything to do, but it's kind of close to LA, right? It's like, what, three hours maybe? Yeah, but a place like that where it's like a little... It's like a little city, right? It's like a little city, and then you go up and there's like little farms and forests. And then within a couple of miles, another little town, farms, whatever, and everything. It's pretty nice. It's nice, but you know what, but at the same time, like, what would you do? I mean, I know maybe in a couple of months, like, yeah, but then, like, during the weekends, like, what would you do? Like, stay home, or go back to the city and... I don't know, maybe. Yeah, I just, because, I don't know, I always thought, like, okay, if I had the money, okay, maybe move to this place. But then, like, what would you do? Like, I don't know. I mean, it all depends if you're going to do, I mean, if you live in the forest, of course you're going to do bushcrafting. Yeah. You know, you're going to do, you're going to learn how to survive. Yeah, yeah. Alone. Yeah, pretty much, yeah. But if you have a wealthy family, and you have local stores or whatever, then, yeah. But if you're out there, like, inside the woods, you know, by yourself, then, yeah, it's going to be... Yeah, but I feel like you'd be, like... Cutting logs. Yeah. Making firewood. Yeah, that's true. Coffees, I'm pretty sure, teas. If you can find them. Oh, you got to make them through whatever planting... Yeah, because, you know what, was it in National Geographic, or one of these documentaries, that this couple moved all the way to Alaska, but in the middle of nowhere. And they were trapped by, like, rabbits and eat them. But, I mean... I mean, living off the land? Yeah, pretty much. Out of the land? Yeah, pretty much. And they have that, like, he built, like, a little cabin. The thing is, in Alaska, like, he went all the way up north, I don't know where, I think near the Arctic Circle. And the thing is, like, there's, like, a couple months, I guess, during, like, winter in Alaska, it just... There's nothing but... It just gets so cold, and it snows and snows and snows. I mean, and I think they have this thing called cabin fever, that just, you're just trapped at home, and you go... I don't know, some people go... I don't know, I think I would go nuts, just... Like, I'm telling you, during the pandemic, and then the... We had the quarantine, and then the... What's it called? The... What's it called? I can't think. Well, I see some people that have locked themselves in... Locked down, yeah, they're locked down. And locked themselves in cabinets. Cabinets? Yeah. Oh, sure. And then they're all stuck. They can't get out because of the snow. Yeah. Oh, you mean the cabins? Cabins, yeah. They get stuck, and all they've got to do is just wait it out. Yeah, I know, but the thing is, I would go crazy, because I'm telling you, during the pandemic, and then during the... The riots, the curfews, there we go. I couldn't go out at this certain time, so... I don't know, sometimes I would go... Like, yeah, I had computer games, but after a while, every day, and eating pizza every day, and... Damn, it's like... I don't know, just being in my room, it's just... I don't know, I would go... I was going nuts. I need to get out. I can't be just trapped in my room. I don't know how these people... Like, especially this couple that just goes... You know, they say, you know what? Fuck the civilized world, I'm going to go to Alaska, I'm going to survive. But then what do you do for entertainment? Especially those six months when it's fucking... Like, you can't go out, because you'll freeze to death. It's just... For a guy, there's more things to do. Yeah. Cutting logs. Yeah, getting ready for winter. You got to really... Yeah, you got to survive, yeah. For your fire pit or chimney. For the women, I think it's pretty different. That's true. I mean... What else can they do with these guys? What do you do now? Yeah, I know. I mean, they're going to start sewing clothes and what's being... Oh, be careful with that, because you'll be... Yeah. And then... You'll be classified as a misogyny and sexist. Yeah. No, I mean, what else can they do? Yeah, I don't know. I was... I thought about that. I mean, I'm pretty sure they could cut logs too, but I'm not saying... Yeah, because during springtime, yeah, I'll be wandering around, going to a forest. I don't know, that'd be entertaining. But then, I'm telling you, winter, that's a couple of months. It's not like, oh, one week or one day. No, it's just a... And there's a... I think in those couple of months, you don't see the sun. And then there's a... I think it's that winter solstice. I don't even know. It's just a... I'm sure it's probably different for women from a cabin to living in a farm. Yeah. Oh, no, that's different. No, because in a farm, you have more things to do. You've got to take care of the livestock. You've got to feed them. You've got to... And then grow your own crops. Yeah, yeah. And vegetables and fruits and all that. Not that I'm telling you, this couple just left the civilized world, and they're somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Like, nowhere. And I'm telling you, the guy, they just survive day by day, and they try to trap... They set up traps for rabbits or whatever gets into the traps. And I don't know. It's just like... I don't know. It's just way different from living in a farm. Yeah. I mean, farms, I heard that there's a lot of jobs to do, a lot of jobs. And it's seven days a week, and as soon as you wake up, you know, it'll get... Yeah, eat, get ready, and start. I wouldn't like a place like that. If I'm sure it's my own place, I wouldn't like being a... Working every day, like seven days a week? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, you've got to work seven days a week. No, eight, ten, twelve, fifteen hours a day? No, no thanks. Yeah, and you know what? I heard that they work from sunup to sundown. Yeah. It's just like, not an easy job. And it's maybe like three, four days out of the week, then yeah. Yeah, but no, it's just... But seven days? No, no. That's why I moved out to the forest and to the farm. Yeah, yeah. Just not work as much. Right, right. But no, it's just, farming is way different from these. You know what? And I forgot, what was like the reasoning that, you know what? Like, fuck the civilized world, I'm going to go here. Like, I don't know what was their... Maybe they did, but... I mean, they're probably tired of it. Yeah, yeah, maybe something, you know. Tired of the city. Yeah, but it's way different, though. Way different, though. I mean, but yeah, because you've got to really think about it. You can't just up and go. Yeah, I know. Because you're going to leave a lot of things behind, a lot of things... Yeah, I know. That you don't have over here, that you're not going to have over here. Like, here in the city, like, you're hungry? Oh, there's a Jack in the Box, there's a McDonald's, you know. But, like, if you go to Alaska, you've got to trap your food, kill it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like, I don't know, it's just, you've got to... And it's a long process. It's not just, okay, you kill a rabbit and you just cook it. You have to clean it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to just... Take out its fur, it's just, I don't know, it's just... It's more work. Yeah, it's more work, exactly. It's just crazy how people... Maybe it's part of, I guess, killing time, I guess. Yeah, but... How many rabbits you've got to kill. Yeah, the thing is, like... Unless you not really kill them and then try to make them reproduce more. Like, you don't have to go out and... Yeah, but the thing is that during winter... Yeah. You've got to be indoors or something. Yeah, yeah. So... The rabbits. So, I don't know, you've got to... I mean, you can... I mean, I'm pretty sure they're just rabbits, I mean, squirrels. Yeah, yeah. Whatever you catch in your trap. And then try skunks or anything that I'll... But you also have to be, like... Insert in deer, too. Yeah, deer, yeah. You can just kill anything. Yeah, that's true. But the thing is, like, you also have to be careful, because it's not just you. There's, like... Other people. No, no, no, not other people. Other predators, like wolves and... Bears. Bears, yeah. And then... They're opportunistic, so... Yeah, because that's their homeland. Yeah, and then they're trying to survive as well, like you. Yeah. It's just wild that, you know, people... Unless you live by a creek or a lake. Oh, yeah. Or a river. Yeah, but the thing is that during winter, I don't think... Oh, yeah, definitely, during winter, you gotta... You gotta... Melt some of the ice. And drink a lot of water. Yeah, water, yeah. Lots of water and drink a lot of soups. Yeah, because you... Have you read that book or seen that movie, Into the Wild? I think it's called Into the Wild? Yeah, yeah. This guy... Well, basically, this guy finds out that his dad's, like... A dirtbag and he doesn't want anything to do with him. All that money that the dad gave him, you know, he just gives it all to charity and decides, You know, I'm going to... I'm going to go to Alaska and... Dude, he just... It was just a... Just the one he died in, inside the bus? Yeah. Yeah. And I heard the bus is still there. Oh, it's still there? Yeah, and the people still go over there and there's been rescues because... People... Because, I guess, during winter or... Oh, no, not during winter. There's a river, right? You have to cross. But during winter or during the summer, the river shrinks. But during spring, you know, when the ice starts to smell... Not smell. Starts to melt, you know, there's like... It's just... That river becomes like a roaring... like it's not passable. If you don't have like a little boat or something, it's not that you can't cross it. A boat or raft? Yeah, pretty much, yeah. And it's like... The river is like... Like during... Like in LA, like when we get those big storms, like... Yeah. Right now... Yeah, the river right now is like what? Like a little... Like a little... Like a little... Little... Little water... Yeah. I mean, you can... You know, there's no problem. Like dirty faucet, water... Yeah, I know. But over there, it's like nice and clean. But anyway, yeah, it's easy to cross. But like I said, but during like spring, it becomes like a huge roaring river. Like it's not passable. Like I don't even know that you can even with a boat. The currents are so strong that it'll just carry you to whatever, you know, somewhere else. Or you could drown. And people... Are afraid of that? Are afraid? Well, yeah, but I mean, during the winter, it's easy. You could cross, but the thing is like you become trapped. And I guess this guy died because he got trapped. And there wasn't a lot of food. And he died. And I guess he was eating like poisonous mushrooms and whatever he could find. Oh, yeah, in the movie, right? Yeah, yeah. He ate the wrong poison and he died? Yeah, or something like that. Or he started to... Something like that. Poor guy died, but yeah. I think he ate too much mushrooms, yeah. Yeah. I think he ended up passing... And that's another thing. You have to know like what to eat and not to eat. Yeah. I mean, there was a lot of grass. Yeah, but... I mean, I take my rest on the grass. With the grass. Yeah, that's true. But oh my God, that was a good movie though. But it's sad that he just... He died like that. He died like that, yeah. He was just trying to get away from... I guess he thought that... Maybe too, I thought about it too. Like, I just want to get away from LA and just move to... But like I said, you ask these questions yourself. Like, how am I going to survive? Yeah. I don't know, it's just different. It's different from living in I guess the big city, yeah. Yeah. And there's nice places like in Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina. Yeah. North Carolina. You know, even Kentucky. There's nice places out there. Yeah, I heard. But here in California, it's so... You can do it, but it's just too much... Population, yeah, pretty much, yeah. And then some of these properties are private properties, so you can't really camp. I mean, in certain parts you can camp, but... What do you mean, in California or out there at least, in California? In California, I heard in certain areas you can camp. They actually have camping grounds. Yeah, that's true. That you can camp, but it's just different. Yeah, it's way different. It's not out there where you can buy land for cheap and then it's yours. Yeah, that's true. I know. I even heard that guy that went insane that was sending bombs to people. It was a unibomber. That fool supposedly was going crazy in the city and decided to buy a cabin somewhere in Montana or Idaho. And then supposedly in the middle of nowhere. But then something triggered him. I think someone was telling me that because he was getting airplanes over... He moved for peace and quiet and there's still planes flying over your cabin and just went insane and started sending letter bombs to... I think he killed a couple of people or injured people, right? Something like that. I know. It's hard to find places to, I guess, isolate yourself without being reminded of the civilized world. Yeah, because you gotta be prepared. You gotta go with some kind of basic skills out there. You can't just go empty-handed. Yeah, that's true. You're gonna go crazy, to be honest. You're gonna go crazy because you don't know what to do. You're gonna end up panicking. What was that movie called with Tom Hanks? His plane crashes? I don't know what the movie's called. Oh, you've seen it, right? Yeah. You do go crazy being away from... He's trapped in this paradise, but he has to survive. I guess we human beings are meant to be social creatures. The Tom Hanks character just goes nuts. I mean, not totally nuts, but I guess he's trying to keep his sanity. Cast away. Yeah, cast away. I guess there's this Wilson soccer ball or volleyball or something. Volleyball. He talks to it, right? He has conversations with it because he's trying to keep his... Stand it alone. Yeah, I'm telling you because I guess we're... Us human beings are meant to be social. Bees are social animals. Wolves are social animals. We're meant to be isolated and alone. That's one of the key points that the human race has survived and endures so much because we're socializing and interchanging ideas. But I know that people think that maybe if I... And you do get sick of it. The city, the sirens, it just drives you nuts. Everything you do has to do with the law or by restriction or by rules. But I kind of understand that because I've seen people and... I don't know, people don't give a... People just be like... Let's say like... Like any place, anybody without rules and laws. Or just go crazy. Or just nuts. Yeah, but people... I know nowadays too, like... I don't know what's going on. There's like a breakdown. I'll give you a small example. Where I live, there's a park, Lincoln Park. It's a depressing park. That's why I don't like going there because I go to Echo Park and... I don't know, every time I go to Echo Park... Yeah, there's problems, but there's always a positive vibe. There's always a positive vibe. And there's a mixture of people. I don't know. For me, I like seeing different types of people, not just a certain type. I don't know. They brought these crayfish, right? Small little... Everyone, I mean everyone. They just, in a couple of days, they were all... They brought these live crayfish so you could... I mean... I would just try to take care of the population. Yeah, I mean, grab whatever you need. But people, all the homeless people, everyone, everyone just destroyed the little... The crayfish? The population of crayfish. They didn't give a shit. Actually, I know in certain rivers and lakes, there's certain... Lures, right? Beaches, yeah, certain pounds, certain items, or certain... Let's say fishes, or yeah, certain inches or feet. You can only get a certain amount. And then some other places will just... They don't give a shit. They don't care. They don't care. Yeah, I know, and this is what happened. They just destroyed the population. And there was signs that just don't take... I forgot what the sign said, but everyone was just... And it was just easy because they... I guess the crayfish too, like, what the fuck am I doing here? Or, you know... But I don't know, and they just finished the whole freaking population. You know what? I've seen Echo Park... I'm not saying like it's just because it's just Lincoln... It happens just in Lincoln Park, but I've seen in Echo Park, it's a little different. They'll catch a fish, take a picture, and throw it back. Like, okay, cool. But I don't know, it's just like people... It's different for other people. Yeah, I know. People don't care. Yeah, and it's sad. I mean, unless you're going to eat them, then take them. Yeah. But they're just going to take them and just... Sell them or... Sell them or dominate them. Well, I mean... Well, who knows, yeah. I mean, I'm going to throw them away. Yeah. Then what's the whole point of you trying to get so many when all the people want them? Yeah, I know. And it's just... I don't know, there's no more crayfish in there. I don't know, it's just that people just don't know. It's like a crab and lobsters. Yeah. Certain lobsters have a little sniff on the tail. Yeah. That there's... I think it's a little sniff. What does that mean, though? I think you could keep it. If they're not sniffed, throw them back. There's like a crab, too. You can only get certain... Maybe like two or three of males. Yeah. But they got to be with the male crabs. And then females, you got to throw them back. Throw them back. Especially if they have eggs or... Yeah. And then on crabs, too, you could take away the claws. The little... I don't know what they're called. You could take away both of them because you're going to grow it back over time. Yeah, I see what you mean, yeah. And it's weird getting it grown back. Yeah, it's weird. But I don't know, just people just... I don't know. And there's rules and they don't get what shit. And then the thing that you're starving of hunger. Yeah. If you caught five, then you're all five. Right, right, right. Because you're short of hunger. Because you have a reason. But if you kill five, but you only need two and you just leave them out there, then... Yeah, I know. It's like... Like, why? I know. And then, I don't know, I've seen people also, like, they kill these deer. Deer are big. And certain deer you got to kill. Yeah. Like, I guess, what they're called, the antlers? The antlers, yeah. But I've seen people just taking pictures and... I mean, I don't know. Don't just kill them and leave them out there. Yeah, I know. I mean, I don't know. You're going to kill them maybe either by an accident or you kill them because you're... Like I said, you're starving, you're hungry. Right, right, you're going to eat it. You're going to eat it. Yeah. Now you got a reason, but don't just kill it because... It's out there. It's not a trophy. It's not a trophy, yeah. I never understood that people... Or just to say that I killed a deer and it was like a little... But let me ask you a question. Like, do you believe hunting is a sport? Like, is it a sport? Like, if you have a gun... I mean, I don't know. It depends what kind of animal... Like, are we going to kill like a bear or like a black bear, brown bear, polar bear, something like that? I don't think that should be called a sport. Yeah, no, it's just like... Dude, you have a gun. Oh, yeah, like it was like, oh, I'm going to kill... Yesterday I killed 14 squirrels, so I'm going to go for the record 15. Yeah, I know, right. I don't want to consider that a sport. Yeah, me neither. Like, I never understood that hunting is... Or a bet. Yeah, yeah. Like, like you said, I understand if you're like, okay, you're going to kill an animal to eat it. Like, okay, understandable, guess or bite. But I never understood these people, like, they call it a sport. Like, I understand if it was possible. Like, okay, like you said, let's hunt a bear, but if the bear had a gun and you had a gun, okay, it's a sport. Like, it's a... Wow, wow, wow. Yeah. Or draw. Yeah, okay, I understand that. Like smoking a bear to rather than shooting. Yeah, exactly. Like, okay, I understand, that's a sport. But, like, I never understood, like, okay, like, and you know what's so funny? It happened in, like, in Mowlingtimes, too. They made a movie, too, about a bear that, I guess, was killing so many people. Yeah. And they ended up getting a team and just, they had a cool hunt in town. Yeah, yeah, that's understandable. But that's not a sport. No, no, it's just that you're just protecting the people. Yeah, the people. Those situations, I understand. But other situations, like, a hunter's like, oh, I'm going to kill this animal because, you know, I just want to put it in my wall. Like, I want to put his head on the wall. Like, I never understood that. Like you said, it was like Smokey the Bear and he had a shotgun and you had a shotgun. And you guys have the same, like, the bar of fairness. Like, okay, either one could, you know, Smokey the Bear with his shotgun has the same opportunity to win as you. And, okay, that's a sport. Like, I don't know, like. It's a sport for Smokey the Bear. How many humans can he kill? I know. Without him using his paws. Exactly. Like, I never understood that. Like, I don't know. And you know what, the same thing during Roman times, like, they would, I guess, whoever, you know. But, I mean, that'd be, well, I mean, in some cases it would be a sport because, you know, a guy would come up with a sword. Another guy would come up with a sword. And, you know, they would go at it. And, you know, whoever won was, you know, stayed alive. And, okay, that's a sport, you know. Even though it was, like, fucking brutal. Yeah. But, you know, seeing people fighting to the death, okay, that's a sport. But, I don't know. I don't know the hunt. But is it a sport? I wouldn't say so. I don't know. Like, I wouldn't take part. I mean, then again, you're winning to survive. Yeah, that's true. But I wouldn't fit into that sport. Yeah, no, no. But I guess back then they were, like, less imaginative. Like, oh, let's have basketball. Yeah. But even in during the Aztec, they had, it's weird, like, the winners they would sacrifice, right? Like, whoever won. I mean, they would just sacrifice people. Or whoever lost. Yeah, they would sacrifice people. But I heard that they had, like, this sport, and maybe I'm wrong, or maybe I don't remember correctly, but I remember, like, they had these, like, the Olympics, like, during ancient Greece. But, well, that's a sport. Well, anyway, we'll get into it. But, like, whoever won that. Yeah, well, they depend, I think, on the king or something, or on the prince or whatever. Yeah. You would have to win to death. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, well, I don't know, it's weird. Yeah. But, yeah, but, yeah. That was their sport. Yeah, that was their sport. Like, whoever, I guess. Yeah, yeah, whoever had the best warrior or the best fighter, I guess. I think they would sacrifice the best fighter or best whatever. Yeah, the best, I mean. The best person to offer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The best of the best, yeah. Yeah, you would think it would be the opposite, whoever lost, okay, you know. But I guess not, but, yeah, it's weird. But do you follow any sports, Eddie? Like, we're getting into sports, but do you have any sports you follow? I mean, I follow sports. I mean, to be honest, not really. I think there's like maybe two sports that I'm sure they're not rigged yet. Like UFC, MMA, and then hockey. Yeah. But I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I think everything else is all rigged. Yeah, I know. I used to work as a cashier in 7-Eleven and I would ask people because they would come in and buy and then they would, I don't know how they would get, like they'll develop a system like, oh okay, if you see if it's odd or even, because there's like a barcode. I don't know if that's by random, but they would tell me like, okay, if you see the last number, if it's an odd, then you'll win something. Either it's a ticket or money. And if it's something like that, if it's even, then you're not getting anything. But they would develop a system and then on the other lottery tickets, they would tell me like, oh, pick the big numbers. I don't know how people develop these or get this, like a system that tries to beat the system. I don't know, it's just like, oh, just pick these numbers. I feel like it's all by random. Well, you can't really say it's rigged. I'm guessing it's not even luck. Yeah, whatever comes out, right? I guess it's luck. But I don't know, it's just that people try to develop a system to beat that system. I don't know. I guess it's just your own little myth, I guess. Yeah, that's true. You got to pick the lower numbers to get something. Oh, sorry. But in your experience, is that true? I know you worked in that industry. I mean, I worked at the casino, right? And it was crazy. There were rooms where there were a hundred thousand to play. A hundred thousand to play. I mean, the Dolores, it was like five thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand. So a hundred thousand. That's playing cards? Yeah, playing cards. What kind of game was that? Poker? It was poker. Some of them were 21. And then there was a Vakarat, which used to be like a dragon or a panda. That was crazy. I don't have any... You would see a whole bunch of people just going nuts. Throwing money? Yeah. People would walk in with tons of money. And you know what? And it's something like... What word am I trying to use here? I mean, it's your money. It's almost like an adrenaline rush. I mean, you'll find people in there like... You get like something. You have people that have like nail salons. I was like, what the fuck? And yeah, they do make money, but I don't... I'm pretty sure it's like a business money. Yeah, it's probably for the business, not for them to come and waste, you know, a thousand thousand dollars. That's crazy though. But I don't know. It's just that some people put... I don't know. There's like something tantalizing. Like using that money and it's either... You either lose it or you win it. And it sucks too, because when you get addicted to it. Let's say I'll take you right to the casino and here I'll lend you two or three hundred bucks. You might win, you might not win. But with that, if you win, if you get either even with your money or more, you're going to get addicted. Yeah, I know. Because you liked it. I'm telling you, there's something... You know, you made my three hundred that I lent you and you got three hundred bucks in your pocket. And plus a little bit, another hundred dollars, two hundred bucks in your pocket. I'm telling you, there's something like... Addicted. Yeah, yeah. And there's like an adrenaline rush. There's like something like... And you do get emotional. Yeah. Because it's your money, right? Yeah, there's certain people out there would attack the dealer. Oh, seriously? They would attack the dealer, they would attack the bank. We call it a bank. When things don't go their way. Go their way, yeah. Because they thought the dealer... Was playing games. Was playing games. Or they didn't know how to deal, how to deck the cards or something. There was some reason they had to do it because they didn't know how to pay for a loss. They don't know how to lose. Yeah. And they thought that, okay, well... And it's good because for some, they knew who was a good dealer. Right. And some people didn't know that. But I feel like people, like you said, they didn't... And again, especially because it's your money, right? They're losing. Yeah. And you're putting it all on the line. Yeah. I don't know. Like, they try to blame... Try to find any... Any excuses. You know, just say, you know what, it was the dealer or you were cheating. They don't blame themselves. You know, they always blame somebody else. It might be the table, it might be the dealer, it might be the bank, it might be the deck on the cards, it might be... Or you didn't shovel the cards. Yeah. So they might blame another player because they got the wrong card or they... They never blame themselves. Yeah, exactly. I mean, like I always say, it's easier to blame somebody else than to blame yourself. Take responsibility. And you know what, that's what I notice a lot of people. There's no accountability, I guess. Yeah. You know, you decided to go to this place and I don't know, they get into their head that... I'm telling you, they think it's like an investment. If I put a lot of money in, I'm going to get something back in the end. Yeah. But you know what, the sad truth is that... I mean, no. It's impossible. Yeah. It's hard to beat the system. Right. I mean, unless you're a really, really good player. Or a cheat or luck or whatever you want to call it, yeah. Because I mean, there's people like I know in certain casinos, they have their little myth or something. Like I say, they say, I heard that Arnold is true. Or they used to get owls. Owls? Owls. Like the ooo, ooo. Right, right. And they know... What's that word? When you put them up... What's that word? What do you mean? When you put them on the wall, stethoporum? What the fuck is that word? When they're just hanging on the branch of the tree? No, no. When you put them on display or something on the wall. Like presentation maybe? No. When you take all the stuff inside and... Oh, the taxidermy and all. Yeah, yeah. You stuff them, yeah. Yeah, you stuff them with... So people would get... They'll cut up the owl's butthole. What? And... I never heard this. Yeah, and they'll use that as a keychain or something. Or somewhere hidden. Yeah. But it's a pulley. It represents good luck. Or good luck. From wood, wood, wood. I never heard this. Yeah. It will represent good luck. And in certain casinos, I guess, like the Indian casinos, I guess, knew that you were holding that or having a keychain or something from your body. It's being disrespectful. Oh, seriously? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. But the person that carries it is a pulley for good luck. Because I heard of lucky... It's actually good luck. I never heard of that before. I think it's just a tribe thing or something. An Indian tribe thing. I never heard of that before. Because I heard of lucky rabbits for like... I think it's for certain things. Yeah. I don't think it's for gambling. Yeah, because I had... You know what? I've tried lucky rabbits for having gotten any pussy. Any bunny rabbit. Any bunny rabbit. Yeah. Any playboy bunny rabbit. Yeah. But yeah. But no, yeah. I never heard of that before. They would get owls' buttholes and... You mean the anus or something? The anus. Yeah, the anus. I never heard of that before. Yeah, and you tie it up or something. And then carry it around like a keychain. Or just somewhere like... You know how you put a dream catcher? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like that. But you would carry it... You would have to carry it somewhere where it's not seen. Right. And you have it in your hand or something. And that's the way you get good luck in what? Yeah, in the Indian casinos. I had no idea. Yeah. I had no idea. And you know what's so funny? I think me and Mario went to an Indian casino out in, I think in Riverside. And I don't know. For me it was like... They're nice. Yeah, they're nice. They're nice. Don't get me wrong. But it's just boring. It was almost like... Because it was like our first time going. They gave us like chips. No, not chips. I'm sorry. A card. Like going? Yeah, now it's like a card. I don't know how much money is in. It's not a lot of money. But I think they told us that there was like a penny slot. Whatever that shit is. I didn't try it to be honest. I just went to eat with... Oh, the food was good though. The food was good. The buffet or something? Yeah, yeah. It was pretty good. I think there was like even lobster tail and mac and... It was good. It was good. Well anyway. I don't know. We spent like the whole day and we're just right there in the dining room just getting... Because the thing is you pay and it's all you can eat. Like you only pay once and it's all you can eat. Yeah, you get lobster tail, whatever. And that's what we did the whole day. Yeah, because I mean me and Mario weren't interested in gambling. And I saw people like, there's a lot of old people. I don't know, they're just wired. They just put the coin and they pull the lever. Put the coin, pull the lever. And that's what they're doing. They're just staring at this thing and it's just like, wow. Like, how did that happen? I know some machines that you gotta pressure the machine to give you the most money out of your bucks. And the more you pressure, the more pressure it gives you tons of money. I didn't know that. I mean let's say you put like 200 bucks, right? But you gotta pressure. You might be down to like 120 or 90 bucks. Maybe the last few hundred bucks you have, you win 2,000, 3,000 bucks out of 200 bucks. So you could maybe double, triple your money. Oh, shit. But you gotta pressure the machine to give you those type of money. You gotta go aggressive with it. Oh, I see. I don't know. I just, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I'm not gonna be there, you know, 200 bucks for almost 6 hours so I could get $2,000. You know what? I'll tell you what. If I ever get there. If I'm 90 and, you know what, I'll go to a casino and just, but again, I don't see the, like the fun out of it. I just see people sitting down, pulling the lever and putting the coin. It's fun if you go with other people. Yeah, yeah. But if you're like. Alone, yeah. If you just go, just go, yeah, it's gonna suck. If you're gonna go with some people that you like, we're gonna hang out. We're gonna go eat, we're gonna go hit the bar, we're gonna go maybe walk around the casino. Right, right. And it's gonna be fun. And you know what's so funny? Like, especially in Vegas, but now they're doing it in these Indian casinos because when I ever go to the Kings game, I forgot the name of that casino. Well, anyway, maybe we shouldn't mention it because they're not a sponsor to our podcast. We're looking for sponsorship. Anybody want to sponsor us? I'm looking at you, American Express. But anyway, yeah, so they mentioned, oh, we're gonna have this, I don't know. I don't know, I guess, let's throw like any celebrity out there that's gonna be there on this date and they're gonna have like a concert. I said, oh, shit, like, that's like the only places I knew, the only casinos I knew that had like, you know, little, I guess, like concerts and attractions was the ones in Vegas. But I guess the Indian casinos are doing it as well. Yeah, I mean, they gotta get as big as them. Yeah, yeah. But just, I mean, more, there need to be more casinos around that one casino to be as big as Vegas. But I see like Vegas as their competition. Yeah, it's crazy out there. There's a friend that, I don't know, maybe our audience would like me, like, I've been invited, especially in our group of friends, like a lot of times, like, oh, let's go to Vegas, let's go to Vegas. And then I have this other friend from where I used to work, like, hey, yeah, let's go to Vegas. Like, I know this is your first time, you'll love it. And I've been hearing like it's like the adult casino, I don't know, but I don't know, like, it's not like, like, in my bucket list, like, all the places I want to go, like, before I, you know, eventually I'm going to die. Like, Vegas is not like, I know for other people, like, yeah, I mean, I don't see the fun, like, I don't know. There is fun, like I said, you just got to go with the right people, because a lot of people, a lot of attractions, a lot of tourism places where you go in the morning and then at night. In the morning there's a lot of things to see and watch and taste, you know, eat food, and at night the same, likewise. A lot of attractions, a lot of places you want to go and visit, a lot of nightclubs, a lot of clubs. I heard there's like stores that are unique, pretty unique, like, you won't find them. Yeah, so it's like, I don't know. They got a mall out there, they got the UFO store. Yeah. It's a nice place, I've been there. Oh, you've been there? You've been to Vegas? Yeah. I don't know, just like, to the audience, like, I've never, never been to Vegas. So our viewers and subscribers, you want to take a... Especially hot chicks, like, show me the ins and outs of... The casino. Oh, the casino, right, right. You want the bus to hang over. Yeah, but you know what, it's just like, I don't know, it's just like, it's not in my... It's a nice place. I feel like it's more like a tourist trap. Yeah. Yeah, they want you to come so you can, you know, spend money, right. Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know, it's just... I mean, there's a lot of places. Yeah. A lot of places in California. Oh, and Vegas wants to sponsor us. This is not a knock on Vegas, it's just like, it's not my... I feel like it's not my thing, like, I know people are different, but I feel like it's not... I mean, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of things to do, this is a pretty nice place. I heard Fremont Street and some other places and then... Yeah, they even got on the Vegas Strip. Yeah. The real strip. Yeah. We can't mention his name, but please don't take him. He's the... I think, I know he posted... Oh, I got to talk to you off the air, because supposedly he posted a picture that he was in Vegas. I don't know. I don't know. He's not going to find what he's finding over there in Mexico, D.C. I know, we're kind of cryptic like that. Yeah, we can't say too much. Yeah. Oh, well. But anyway. You guys want to hear that story, you guys have to subscribe, listen to any of our viewers. I know, people are not going to believe this, but anyway. So, I don't know, I just said, I have this friend that he wants me to go, because his wife is going to go to Nicaragua with his kid. Just to visit her family, and he wants to go in November. I'm telling him, like, I guess, I mean, if I have nothing to... I'm just honest with him, like, I guess if I don't have nothing... I know our listeners are going to think, you know, Evan, you're an idiot, you're mad, you're crazy. But if I had my walk to Echo Park and Silver Lake, I'd rather have my walk to... I know there's a lot of things to do in Vegas, there's a lot of attractions and all that. But the thing is, I don't know, I feel like it's not going to be my thing. Yeah, well, like I said, you let go of people, you know. Yeah, yeah. To have a good time. Yeah. With everything paid for, all the expenses. Whatever happens in Vegas season. Yeah. So any viewers or any... Know people that know people that know people. Yeah. Invite us. Yeah, to go in, especially if it's hot chicks. Like Barbies. Barbies, yeah, perfect tense. But yeah, so, I don't know, it's just... It's... Well, going back, I know we went off a tangent, but again, going back to sports, yeah, but... I think the last boxing event we had in, I think it was in Staples Center, right? Was it... The last one, last one? Yeah. Precent? Yeah, like, what was... It was... I'm trying to remember that guy's name. Canelo? No, was it Canelo? No, that happened in Vegas, right? Yeah, Vegas. Yeah, Vegas. So the last one here in Staples Center? Yeah. I don't remember. You remember? And you know what's so funny? They have a statue, like, it's almost like Rocky, like, just in the air. I forgot, but I think that was the last boxing event we had in... Here in Staples Center. I'm pretty sure, when was Staples Center built? Like in late 90s or... No. No? Was it early 2000? No. 2000, I think it was 2003, something like that. Damn. Damn, that's a... Yeah, because I remember when they had to bring down a lot of buildings. Well, they had to build around there. Ah. Oh, okay. Damn. Yeah, because to be honest, I don't remember when they had, like, a boxing event in... In Staples. Staples, yeah. Well, right now it's crypto.com or whatever. Yeah, so it's just... You know what I... Oh, it was Davis versus Cruz, I think. I don't know who the hell that was, but I don't know. That was in June 17, 2000. The last match? The last boxing match in Staples. It's hard to get matches here in California. Yeah. There's so many... Oh. You gotta go to a city, you gotta go to a... You know, the statue was Oscar de la... I think it's Oscar de la Olla. La Olla. Yeah. The golden boy? Yeah. I guess he fought in Staples Center in 2000 against Mosley. But that was like... That was like what? How many years ago? Two years ago. Yeah, damn. Yeah. That's... I don't know. Like I said, I've never seen any other boxing event outside of Vegas. I mean, because they do some here in Mexico, Texas, and Vegas, and New York. Well, if you count the... What is it? WWE? WWE? They go everywhere, right? Yeah, pretty much, yeah. What happened to them? I mean, it was a... I mean, most of the... Most of the... The 90s, 80s, 90s wrestlers, they're retired. Yeah. Movie stars. Or... Just... Still do it, but they became... Like celebrities. Yeah, for the... Hollywood. Yeah. The evil Hollywood movie scene. For the... They became... Announcers. Spectators. A lot of them retired, huh? Yeah, a lot of them retired. Yeah, because I recently watched one, and it's not the same. Like, when I was a kid. Because some of them became... I mean, the big movie stars, they became... They did their own reality show. Yeah. Oh, seriously? Yeah. Yeah, because even... I don't know if we can say any names, any wrestling, but... One of them will... I think that you can, because they're in the public. You know what I mean? They're not... I mean, can we? Yeah, I think we can. Because... Well, let's say Undertaker, Undertaker's brother, Kane, became into... Politics. Politics? Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, he's pretty good. What is he, a conservative, liberal, or... Liberal. Liberal? Yeah. He's good, though. He knows his stuff. But from where? Like, what state? I don't know. Do you know? I don't know much about him. Wow, I had no idea. Yeah, he's pretty good. He does a decent work. He knows what he knows. Yeah, because I remember... He knows his tits. What was that other wrestler, I think he was a wrestler, Jesse Ventura, right? He became a... The bodybuilder. Oh, that was his name? The bodybuilder, Ventura? Yeah. I think he became a governor for Minnesota, right? Yeah. He went into politics. Oh, yeah. Then he started going... Crazy? Not crazy, but he went... They were saying that he went nuts because he went into politics, but he... Nah, I don't think... You know what I... He was saying so much... He was speaking so much knowledge, so he knew too much. It kind of like shut him down a little bit. But I feel like it was like the... He's the mayor. He's the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee? Mm-hmm. We're talking about Kane, the wrestler? No way. Yeah, he knows his shit. So, Glenn Thomas Jacobs, better known by the ring name Kane, is an American politician and professional wrestler. Jacobs has been... From 1990. So, he's signed with the WWE since 1995. Yeah. Wow, who knew that he's... The big red machine. Yeah. Not bad. Hopefully, he's doing good out there. Yeah, he's doing good. He's actually working with the community. Oh, that's right. And you know what's so funny? These people from... These outsiders that come in out of nowhere. Well, from outsiders, I mean, they're not in the realm of politics. Kane was a wrestler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you would never thought, yeah. Yeah, but usually they... You find them like, oh, it's controversial, right? I don't know, nothing... What would you call him? Fictional character, I guess? I guess so. Or a superhero? No, no, no. I mean, he never talked in the wrestling. Right, yeah, but... I mean, he'll say... When he did, he'll say like two, three words and that's it. Yeah, but I mean, it's funny. Like, there's people that come outside of that, I guess, that politics circle and they do a better job than the politicians. Like, it's, I don't know, it's just amazing. Hopefully he's doing good out there. Yeah, you should check out his work. Yeah, I'll check it out. But it's just, yeah, because I was recently watching it and I don't know, it's kind of boring. It's kind of cheesy now. Yeah, cheesy. They're trying to bring back old... The old wrestlers. Old wrestlers, kind of like to give it more views. Yeah. But it's... I remember they used to have... I mean, it was cheesy, right? Because it was like drama, a little bit like a drama, but okay, they had like a... Like a alright storyboard and okay, the wrestling was fun and... Yeah, because they didn't have enough wrestlers to wrestle, let's say, like on Saturday night. Yeah. Or like a Friday night or like a Monday. Right. So, what they had to do was just use what they got and make it entertaining. And you know what they did? For two hours straight. Yeah, and you know what? They did a good job. They had like a little, okay, a little storyboard going. It was okay. And then the wrestling was... I guess these wrestlers, I guess you would call them, I don't know, I feel like wrestlers. I don't know, Eddie, for me, it's like it was fake. I mean, it was entertaining. It was entertaining, yeah. And I guess these guys would... You know what they would do? Like Dwayne Johnson, who plays The Rock. Yeah. I mean, he's a good actor. I mean, he does a good on impressions of people. Yeah, yeah. And a good character. He's a good role model, I guess, would you call him. Yeah, yeah. And The Rock character, he did pretty good. And also, what was the other one? Stone Cold. Stone Cold, him? Yeah, yeah. He's the one that did a TV show. Oh, seriously? Yeah. Oh, good for him. Yeah. And he did a lot of stuff, like the X Games. Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say like a reality... No. No, it's like the X Games. Kind of like... What was that fucking game? Is it X Football? No, no. They're trying to bring that back, the XFL? Yeah. The Extreme Football League? Yeah. They're trying to bring it back. How do you do that, though? I've never seen it. It's similar to like a regular football, but 50 yards. 50 yards? Yeah, 50 yards. Oh, all right. Yeah, it's 25, 25 yards. Oh, okay. Well, I'm not a football, sports fan or anything like that. Not like rugby. Yeah. Not like rugby. Yeah. Or lacrosse or hockey or tennis. Or Kanika. We used to play. Yeah, we used to play Kanika. You know what? I'm surprised there's no like a professional league of playing marble. Imagine there'd be a... There you go. Oh, man. That was... We might start it in the podcast. Yeah, in the podcast. Why not? Yeah. And check us out, link Kanika. Oh, yeah. That'd be cool. Place your bets. I don't know. Or bring back Pogs. Oh, Pogs. Yeah. Pogs. Yeah. My bad. Nobody plays them anymore, huh? Dude, I remember... How old were we? I don't remember. I don't remember. I was like, oh, I'm not going to play anymore. I was like, oh, I'm not going to play anymore. I was like, oh, I'm not going to play anymore. I was like, oh, I'm not going to play anymore. I was like, oh, I'm not going to play anymore. Dude, I remember... how old were we? It started in... How old were we? I don't even remember. But I remember that shit took... That stuff was popular. For the viewers, listeners, do you guys know when Pogs came out? Dude... Remember the Slammers? Yeah. And I remember, like, everyone would play with Pogs. It's just that... And you know what's so funny? Nobody plays it and nobody would know, like, what the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck is... Each figure keeps a face-up caps and a restack the face-down caps, repeating the process until none land face-down, at which point the player who collected the most caps wins the game of Milk Caps. The game is also known as Pogs, under which name it was sold commercially in the 90s. Damn. In the 90s, huh? You know what? Now I'm seeing it, they're calling it a retro game. Damn, I feel old. I feel, like, super old. Like, damn. They actually show how to play it. How to play it? Yeah. I don't see kids playing it with Pogs anymore. No. No. Damn. Those were the days, I don't know, just... I was really into... Really into them. They got another name for it. It's called Menko. It's a Japanese game where players try to flip over their opponent's cards. The game found its way to Hawaii in the 1800s. So the game is old. I guess so. I mean, it came to the States in the 90s. Yeah. Where does the Pogs come from? I thought Pogs are a community festival within the 90s. The game name has its origins under years in Japan. Oh, wow. I don't know. Yeah, because, you know what? Supposedly it was called Milk Caps game. And then it became Pogs. And now, wow. I mean, I remember I used to... I wonder where the name Pogs comes from. Yeah, I know. Pogs. Or even Milk Caps. What kind of... Yeah, the Milk Caps, I see it. You know what? Or Bottle Caps. Bottle Caps, yeah. But I don't know about Milk Caps. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Milk Caps, the jars. The glass jars. Yeah, yeah. Did you... When you were a kid, did you buy a lot of them? Yes, I was addicted to this game. Yeah, me too. I never actually played because I never wanted to. I never wanted to play. Me neither. They were all taking my Slammers and my Pogs. I won't lose, but they would steal my stuff. And that's where I used to get mad because they were pretty expensive. Yeah, and I remember they had pretty neat designs for them. But I mean, they were more expensive than... The Slammers were like $5, $25. Dude, my mom... The Slammer. Yeah, I would beg my mom to buy me some. I don't know because, you know, it's just a waste of money and you keep losing them. What was the point of... But, oh my God, it was just... Look right here. It says, Huge Vintage 90s Mega Pogs. Mega Pogs, lots with 200 bucks. How much? 200 bucks. Wow. It doesn't say how much, but it's used on Ebay. Damn. And then some people have vintage. Vintage? On Ebay. 50s? Yeah. Oh, shit. 100 plus vintage Pogs. Damn. Damn, man. They got Slammers for sale. They have a whole bunch of stuff. No one plays those games. I mean, I've seen kids and they don't play those games. The Spawn one? Oh, yeah. I'm telling you, some of them had like... They had the Simpsons. Yeah, but the thing is, the better the design, the more expensive they were. And the thing is, I'm telling you, I would beg my mom... She would buy me the cheapest Pogs there were. You remember the tubes? Yeah. They were like...
