Cabin Pressure with Shawn and "G"

Left My Phone at Home… Then Started a 4-Day Trip (Meltdown Included)

Shawn & G Episode 73

Talk to us! Leave us a message, or ask a question?

Ever had that stomach-drop moment when you realize the phone you need for a four-day trip is still on the counter? We start there—calculating U-turns, praying for green lights—and use it to launch into a sharp, funny, and useful look at readiness when the weather, the job, or life gets messy. From Ohio whiteouts to late-night crew comms, we break down what actually helps when turning back isn’t an option.

We trade our best winter gear intel—long-reach snow brushes, portable jump starters, LED emergency beacons, and the tiny WD-40 trick that keeps latches from freezing. Then the story swerves to Japan and a conveyor-belt sushi adventure that ends with an unexpected delicacy reveal. Curiosity meets consequence, and we talk about how to try new things abroad without rolling the dice blind.

Nostalgia kicks in with SpongeBob voice wizardry, James Earl Jones, and Morgan Freeman, plus a love letter to manual transmissions and the universal dread of rolling backward on a hill. That thread of small skills and steady nerves primes the wildest cautionary tale of all: the infamous lost Bitcoin hard drive, a lesson in backups, keys, and how one sloppy moment can cost billions. We round it out with VW chaos, dog stereotypes and empathy, and a blitz of recent viral absurdities—from the Detroit airport crash to a disguised boat thief to a driver whose dad refuses to bail her out.

Underneath the laughs is a simple creed: prepare for what you can, adapt when you can’t, and keep going even when it’s slow. If you’re into travel stories, winter survival tips, airline life, car culture, crypto cautionary tales, and unfiltered banter, you’ll feel right at home. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a better trunk kit, and tell us: what’s the one small habit that saved your day?

Shawn:

You ever get that sinking feeling that you're halfway to work and something's off? You look in your pocket, you look around, and you realize you left your freaking phone on the counter. And you started a four-day trip, no phone, no messages, no calls, no, no contact whatsoever, right? None.

G:

Dude, you know that is like the worst feeling. Like if you are when I'm driving in work and I'm like, and we've both done this, and you know, you get so far down the road and you're like, do I have time to turn around?

Shawn:

You're starting to wonder if you can turn around and do 100 miles an hour back to get that damn thing, right? Right? You're not to mention, not to mention though, the the instant meltdown, right? You're like meltdown three, two, one.

unknown:

Ah!

Shawn:

Yeah right?

SPEAKER_00:

Stupid. I'm dumb dumb if you start calling.

G:

I'm thinking, I'm thinking, how many, how many police run did I see? Right. Like, how fast can I actually drive back? Like there's like like, can I make it through security? Can I give people to park?

Shawn:

You know, how many times have you called yourself stupid inside that car? Yeah, dumbass, right? You start you use using all these descriptive words about yourself.

G:

It's the worst because you've got to, you've got to like now now, like if you can't go back, you've now got to figure out, okay, alternate. I gotta now use another crew member's phone, and I've got to find, you know, call my my wife and find out, you know, hey, I don't have my phone, I'll be using this phone, you know. You know, I I'm offline for a little while. But you know, I know that if I live you lose my phone or don't have it with me, I have like my iPad with me, so I can get text through that, and I got my computer and stuff like that. But I mean, if you don't have another device, like G. No, shut up.

Shawn:

So we we keep it. It's funny though, you're right. But at 37,000 feet, we'll keep it together. But you, when you realize you left that damn phone on the counter, oh yeah, how mad are you? I mean, four-day trip. Think about that. Four days. You uh okay, we're gonna talk about the weather and everything else, how that affects, but on the four days, you you have nothing to do, too, even on your downtime. You can't even you just like okay, I'm gonna call home. Can't do it.

G:

G can't do the TikTok scroll.

Shawn:

No, I don't do no damn TikTok scroll. TikTok my ass. I don't do no tick tock scroll. Four only girls. No. What the hell are you talking about? You just like throwing shit in there. For only girls. What is for only girls anyway? You can see you just make some kind of shit up. For only girls.

G:

Porn.

Shawn:

I'm talking about your schedule. He's disconnected. I'm talking about your schedule, and you're talking about porn. No, I'm talking about you. No, not me.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know. You ain't talking about me with porn. That ain't me.

G:

Anyhow, yeah, it's you're killing me. It totally sucks, man, if you don't have your phone.

Shawn:

No, I mean, that's where they don't understand, too, is that uh just in a normal day, uh, say that something goes wrong with your flight. Right. We got a list, we get there, there's so many things that we have to do with that phone. Get a hold of scheduling, you know, even if you have contact your crew. Yeah because sometimes your crew went somewhere else.

SPEAKER_04:

Right.

G:

I mean, uh it's just it's unnerving for today where you don't have that phone, and you know, everybody out there can relate.

Shawn:

I just think of it, always think of the meltdown inside the car. That's the worst.

G:

Oh, yeah. Well, it is funny though, but because we all do that whole like, do I have enough time to go back? You left your ID. Can I get this done? Can I not?

Shawn:

Like your required duty items. Yeah. Yeah, that yeah, that that moment. But I think I think the phone's the worst. I think it's the worst. And and the and we just went through this whole weather thing. Oh, yeah. So that really, I mean, that would have been the perfect example because you're going through there, first of all, um, the weather was horrible driving in, right? Okay, you you go through the snow and you you gotta have some kind of communication.

G:

Right. I mean, the the whole like the the the weather thing, if you when you throw that into it, it's like you know you're not going back. Like if I can if I can get to work and get to the city. You're happy just to get all your things about it just to get to point A to point B, right? Right, yeah. I'm not going back. Arrive alive. Yeah.

Shawn:

Remember that one? Yeah, arrive alive. That's the way I look at it in the wintertime in Ohio. If I can get my ass to the the happiest moment is pulling into the parking lot.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, hell yeah.

Shawn:

Because those those drive, those white out drives are unbelievable. Unfreaking believable. Yeah, but you need to be prepared, right? Uh shit. Okay, now I was gonna tell you about that too. So last week we were out, we were out in the parking lot or you're out in your your uh driveway, right? And we had to go snoop scoop off the snow, and I was out there with my little tiny brush, yeah. And you come out there with the tool time Tim, this big ass brush snaps, snap, my transformer something. He's like, Yeah, you're brushing it off. This is what you gotta have. He has snow in his face, yeah. It's like this commercial out in front of me, you know. And you know, when you get that person, that all they do is like, yeah, I've got the best of this. And you've got that little bitty ass brush. And I hear it, what you really need to do is get this G. And let me tell you something. I did. You got it. I you did. I went out and got this. This is a 61-inch rain. It was like a rain, what is that? I don't know what the brand is. That rain X, a rain X brush. So it has a pivoting head, it's like wide, so it's got a huge ass scoop. It's it'll clean your car off fast.

G:

I'm telling you, these are like investments people need to like be like these are should be in your car. Like, I mean, I'm thinking like, you know, all these young ladies or smaller people that can't reach across her car. This is the thing that you need. Like, you I have my wife has one in her car, she has a shovel in the back of her car. She has all these different, like, all the stuff that you need.

Shawn:

It's like the best 23, 24 bucks you'll ever spend for the winter time. So you get we put this stuff in our trunk because we know uh listen, put your brush in the trunk because if you don't and you put it in the freaking uh the the driver passenger side, as soon as you open up, all that damn snow goes into your freaking car. And where are you sitting when you get done? In that freaking snow pile. In that snow pile on your seat. Yeah, exactly. Your ass is wet all the way home. So you put it in the back, and then you're able to get all the shit off. But I also last year I got a jumper because of you too. So I am never ever not gonna have a jumper in my car in the wintertime because my ass is not gonna sit out in that parking lot freezing my ass off when I got a dead battery.

G:

Dude. Because nobody wants a dead battery in winter. That's what I went through last year. It's so damn cold. Minus four degrees, and I was trying, my car was like having battery problems, and uh it was it was brutal. I mean, it was even tough to get the jumper to start my car because the battery was, you know, had to like warm up the battery just to get that going because it was so cold. And you don't want to be in those situations because it could be uh it could be deadly.

Shawn:

No, it's horrible because I've helped people and you you pop the hood and they got this generic ass battery. Now, if you're living up north, you better have a cold start. Yeah. I mean, because your your your car's not gonna, you'll go four days, you'll come back, that damn thing will be dead.

G:

Yeah, you can't do that.

Shawn:

You'll have that little generic battery in there, you're not getting, you're not going anywhere.

G:

Prepared for the the conditions. Yeah.

Shawn:

So I've got the jumper, got the club, got the the um uh the boots, I got gloves. You got one of those, you got one of those like little cones things.

G:

Yeah, I got what I got is one of these like devices that are like these. It's it's a magnetic little beacon that snaps onto the car. Yeah, and you can turn it on, it's rechargeable, comes in a little set of four. I got it on Amazon, and uh it can like do all these, like it can like strobe, it can do SOS, it can do all kinds of stuff, but they see you for a long way because it's super bright, it's LED, all that stuff. Highly recommend. I got that in my wife and my mine car, but uh it's like you you definitely got to be prepared when you're out there when in these conditions.

Shawn:

One more thing that I learned about this shoot w you know the little the metal latch?

G:

Yeah, okay.

Shawn:

Shoot WD40 on the metal latch.

G:

Yeah, just to keep it from uh icing over.

Shawn:

Yeah, won't ice over. I mean, especially when you're unlocking your doors. Yeah. It's key fob and won't do shit. I don't have locks on my door. I know, but uh I'm saying uh on the on the well I don't have locks on my door. Everybody else that has a normal excuse my language.

SPEAKER_00:

Everybody else that has a normal car, take WD 40 spray it in the little bitty uh metal part.

Shawn:

And uh then Sean, who has the abnormal car, right? He has that one high-tech car. It probably's got a heating unit inside the locking metal.

G:

It probably does, who knows?

Shawn:

Just shoot WD-40 and then.

G:

Yeah, no, that's a good tip, though. I used to do that on all my cars just because it was like you don't want that to I I've had it froze up.

Shawn:

So you're confirming that I'm giving you a good tip? Absolutely. Well, I got another thing to confirm about. Okay. So, well, actually, I first of all, um remember last week? Yeah, I remember last week. Okay. Good memory, right? Mm-hmm. You referenced me as being uh arrogant ass? Arrogant ass. That's what you did.

G:

I wait, wait, first of all, I didn't reference you. No, you did. This is somebody that randomly was talking to you. But you brought it-I remembered, and I thought it was relevant to bring this to you. Yeah, you but you still brought it.

Shawn:

You still brought that shit to me, right? And you referenced me as an arrogant ass. Okay. So, you know, I was talking to somebody on the plane the other day, and they were laughing whenever they heard this, and they're like, Well, remember when Sean was a supervisor. I said, Oh yeah, Sean was a supervisor. Y'all remember this one. So he went from being one of us, right? To the supervisor, doing my job. Doing my job. I put that other hat on. Yeah, you put the other hat on. So she said, when he went in there, that story about what you did uh as what you did with his policies and procedures book. So he had this policies and procedure book. He tabbed it, he color-coded tabbed it because he's a little bit anal about certain things. I'm prepared. Anal. So anyway, he has that. He has a ruler and a quarter because he does his job very thorough. Right. And they were telling me about this, and I went down there and he was up in the concourse, and I took his policies and procedures book off of his desk and I took it out of there. He comes out in the crew room, oh no, it's Miller.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know. He took my shit. Where's where it's Miller?

G:

I know it. But first of all, you know, you're telling the story, and I'm thinking about this. I'm like, who is the arrogant ass in the story?

Shawn:

They well, we're gonna we're gonna get to that. We're gonna get to that. So after all this, I said, as a supervisor, not today, right? Because, you know, you're the opinion of you's completely changed again. Right. You went from all nothing, all changing of the hats. But I said, as a supervisor, in two words, how could you what would you how would you describe Sean? You know what she said? Arrogant ass. Arrogant ass. There's your confirmation. Now we're two arrogant asses. Hey, we were probably at that stage in our life. So since we had that conversation that Sean's an arrogant ass, okay, press on. What have you been doing this week, you arrogant ass?

SPEAKER_00:

I like saying that. Yeah, what have I been doing?

Shawn:

That's like my new favorite saying, right? Sean, arrogant ass.

G:

So, what I have been doing is I forgot to tell you a story last week that was Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait.

unknown:

Yeah. Right.

Shawn:

You you forgot. I forgot. I'll give this marked.

G:

He forgot. I forgot a story. So you know what that means? What's that? Your ass is old. Yeah, your ass is old too. But anyhow, we're doing this. Uh, you know, I went to Japan and I had that uh we went out for sushi and stuff, and I was like, I was actually all like geared up for this. I want I wanted sushi so bad because I'm like, you know, it's got to be the best because we're in Japan, right? Yeah, you got to. You know, you went in Rome, do what the Romans do, right? So Japan, some sushi. So uh we went to this three guys, we get there, we get to this place, and it's like all pretty high tech. Like they have these like computer screens, you order, and I'm telling you, as soon as you like hit oh order, boom, like seconds, my minute, maybe boom, there's like a cavator belt like instant sushi. And then the sushi just comes right there. That's crazy. And you pull it down, start eating it. So we all decide, oh, we're you know, we we're just I'm just randomly ordering things because there's all lots of stuff on there you don't really recognize, right? So I'm ordering things, and so um we decide to get this special, and all of us get this special that's four. I'm gonna put I'm gonna post this picture so you can see it. But these it's like four normal, you know, the Gary sushi that has like the piece of fish across it, and then there's always one that has this like yeah, nori paper, and then it has like something on top of it, you know. Normally it's like a fish eggs, whatever that thing, yeah. But this one, it looks like brains. Brains, yeah, it looks like brains. It's like moving. So all of us are like, mmm you you gonna eat that? Yeah, like you know what that is? I don't know what that is. I don't know. You know if you're gonna eat that.

Shawn:

Everybody's gotta eat it.

G:

Right. Well, we're already we're just trying to figure it out. Like, yeah, but you I was looking for Mikey, yeah, exactly. Right, but at this point you're all in. So, anyways, I said, you know what, I'll I'll try it. So so I grabbed it and you know, I bite it, and I'm like, tastes kind of creamy, milky, the whole nine yards. I'm like, oh, this it's not that bad, you know. Like, it tastes like anything you had in your mouth before? No, okay. And so the uh the I put this um thing and finish eating it, and I'm like, it's not bad. So we're all like, it's not bad, whatever. So next day we I go to the interpreter on our crew, and she's I'm like, hey, we ate some the sushi, and I don't know what the sushi is. Can you tell me what this is? So I show her the picture, and she looks at it and she looks at me and she's like that's sperm.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm like, what?

G:

Are you kidding me? She goes, that's sperm. I'm like, no, no, no. I go I go, that's sperm in your mouth and that looks like that looks brains, and she's like, no, no, no, that's a sperm. So then she open like googles the thing and she pulls it up, and sure enough, it's fucking fish sperm.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, first of all, there's so many questions. Who does that? Whose job is that? Whose job?

G:

I don't know, dude. I mean, I'm like, listen, I am like, I'm like in shock here. I'm like, I feel violated, first of all. I'm like, I'm thinking, yesterday I was a virgin. I'm now looking at you differently.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm looking at you completely differently. And to go to the job, I'm like, who sits around like you have to check that box now. Have you ever had fish sperm in your mouth? Me.

G:

Why does it have to be in my mouth? It was. Well, you're the one that said it was like creamy white thing in your mouth.

Shawn:

It was nobody, it's on video, dude.

G:

It was awful. It was it. I was, I was like, I was in total shock. But then I'm starting starting to think about the whole thing. I'm thinking, like, whose job is it to go around jacking off fish? Who gets it? Like, who does that? Yeah, do you go to college? Like, like what like how do they get the sperm out of the fish? Like, what's what what's this process? Anyhow, it was it was crazy, man.

SPEAKER_00:

All to bring, oh, all to bring to you the experience, yeah, sperm.

G:

Yeah, yeah. I'm telling you right now, I will be googling and picture and googling and picture from now on.

Shawn:

You know, I'm I'm like, I feel like I want to pause for a moment.

unknown:

Right?

SPEAKER_00:

I want to take a moment to take all this in.

G:

So, what I did do is I went to the rest of the crew, the other guys, and I'm like, hey, guess what, guys? You know, uh, you know that. I have any sperm in my mouth. No, no, they had it too. Yeah, it's a whole group. So I'm like, I'm like, hey, did you uh this is what we ate? And all of them are like, you didn't need to tell me that.

Shawn:

You didn't have to tell me that. Could you imagine? They come to the back and you went like this. Hey, listen, man, don't don't tell anybody. Yeah, don't tell anybody, listen. Whatever happens in Japan stays in Japan. Yeah, right? Evidently, this is like some type of delicacy. Nobody, yeah, yeah.

G:

But I'm gonna tell you, one of the speakers said one of the funniest things in the world. I mean, and this is I'm not trying to offend anybody, but it she goes, she goes, Japanese don't eat that. No, no Japanese eat that. And I'm like, I ordered it in a Japanese restaurant. She's like, that had to be Chinese. Chinese eats everything but tables and chairs. I'm just anything before legs still eat, no, not tables and chairs.

Shawn:

You're like, uh, excuse me, what is this? Um uh fist sperm. No, it wasn't that way.

G:

It wasn't that way. You got it all wrong. Anyhow, the other part about it. So you had to fly through the storm, but I had to drive through the storm, and we were like, uh, we had to like we drove in before the storm hit, and then we had to drive on the when the storm already had hit, and it was nothing but uh like an ice rink coming back. I mean, it was crazy, dude. I one of my big things, and this is like gets under my skin, like you know, I have this new car, right? Yeah, and so my my wife normally will drive because she she loves to drive, like that's her thing, and I like to sleep, so I'm like, oh, this is a good combination, right? But she doesn't like to take care of my car, and so she likes to get right up behind those big old semis and like ride their butt. And I'm thinking, this is Chip City. Why are you trying to get like it's all violent? Oh, salt, rocks, rocks, everything, especially with the salt, man.

Shawn:

I'm like, what the heck? It's like all you hear is like you're pelleting.

G:

Not from the north, like you know this happens all the time. Why are you mad at me? Yeah, like we got in this big confrontation about this whole thing, but it was like driving back in that stuff was like uh bear. Like it was unbelievable. But we were we took it like we were we were easily driving back all the way across, probably five to ten miles under the speed limit, any the whole way.

Shawn:

Well shit, even coming back from the airport. I mean, the snow was like powder. Yeah, it was blowing all over the place. I mean, when I got back to when I got back to the house from this, yeah, it was it the there's probably 11 inches of snow on the driveway. Oh, yeah. Couldn't get my ass in. I I had to park it. I always say park because I didn't park. I had to pull in, I got stuck. There's the difference between getting parked and stuck. Yeah, you were stuck. You're not moving. So then you trek all the way up to the house, get the snowblower, throw all your shit on, go back outside. And the shovel. Yeah, but it's it's not exactly a uh a Campbell soup moment. No, no, no, right? Because the shit's blowing on your face because that powder is blowing everywhere, and it's so cold, it's so freaking freezing cold.

G:

You have got to you gotta be clubbing your ears. You gotta I went out in it, my ears were like they literally, I was out there like 30 seconds, that seemed just to scrape off the car, and I thought my ears are gonna fall off. I mean, they were like tingling and everything.

Shawn:

I'm like, I sent you a picture of me, man. I was wrapped up. I was wrapped up. That's who that was. That oh, yeah, funny. I didn't, I honestly I didn't know who there was. I was like, what is it? I was like, just like the abominable snowman. Yeah, exactly. Completely covered. My ass was completely covered. I was out in that shit, and it took me, like I said, it took me like two hours to get the driveway cleared off because it took me another half hour, 45 minutes to get the damn car. I had to shovel underneath the car just to get the car back up to so it was not even two hours later, I'm doing shit all over again.

G:

Same thing happened to us. So we drove back into Ohio, and when I get here, like I'm in an HOA that we're supposed to plow. Well, they plowed my driveway, but then they plowed the street and blocked my whole entire front of my driveway. So I had like a two-foot pile of snow that I couldn't get in. So literally I had to pull up and I was like, let me out of the car. So I had to go get the blower, get the blower and a shovel just to like shovel out the driveway just so we didn't get stuck because I'm a smart person like that. But anyhow, fish sperm. The the the uh the freaking drive was uh the whole thing was bad.

Shawn:

You know something? There was a there was a little funny one I seen, though. SpongeBob had a uh he had a little video. He actually was um having fun with this storm. He jumped into a storm cloud. I love SpongeBob. Yeah, I mean he's so funny, and but they named us snail Gary. Gary. Appropriate. No, it's not. No, it's not. It should have been like a sword fish. No, no, it should have been like a damn sword fish. Strong, big thing. You see how we're not talking the same thing, right? Me and you are not even.

G:

It should have been like a he should have been like a flying fish because you're always flying, dude.

Shawn:

Yeah, like sword fish, though. Stronger. I just strong.

G:

But anyway, you're thinking you're thinking strong. I'm thinking like the job.

Shawn:

You're always flying, strong and cutting through water, barreling after something. Yeah. No, I'm yeah, I'm thinking a lot. Remember that arrogant ass thing I was talking about? It's better than a snail. But I I like Gary Snail. He's he's pretty funny. They were doing, they were doing These voiceovers. This was the part that was funny.

G:

I love, I love uh like SpongeBob is so funny, though. Man, like that new movie that's out. I want to see the movie. I don't you probably won't catch me going to the movie to see it. I feel like uncomfortable. Here's a 60-year-old man going to a Spongebob movie. Yeah, like they're taking pictures of the movie. But when it gets to so I can watch in a house, I'll watch it.

Shawn:

But they were doing these voiceovers, and it's amazing how these guys, when you look at them, you're like SpongeBob's voice coming out. He you know, and you know they don't look like that. I mean, but it is funny watching these guys do these voiceovers. And all I could think about was during our time, some of the most iconic voices, um, James Earl Jones. Yeah, right. Oh, yeah. I mean, his was um, yeah, but Darth Vader. Yeah, Darth Vader first, yeah. And then Mufasa, right? Right? Simba.

G:

I am your father. Simba.

Shawn:

Right? He had that same dead deep thing as Simba.

G:

I mean, those those voices are like so distinguishable. You know, uh, all of them like the instantaneous you hear it, it's like you know exactly who it is.

Shawn:

I didn't know that Sean Connery, though, they that he turned down that role, did you? To for Mafasa?

G:

Yeah, no, yeah. In fact, I did know that. Yeah, I didn't I didn't know. There's a there's a lot of um like stars and stuff that have like passed up these big famous ones. One of them was like, I think was Madonna. She wanted to be like no, she that that she was, but she was offered I think they were thinking her being like stars born, and they didn't she she turned it down.

Shawn:

Oh but they um they oh one I was thinking of um Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman Freeman, I mean anything that he does, he's got he's got a golden voice, dude. Yeah, I mean Shaw Shank Redemption when he narrated that that was incredible.

G:

Yeah, that was I mean all these commercials and stuff he does, like anytime it doesn't matter. Didn't he do like the intro to a Super Bowl two one time? I thought he did, but he I mean, anytime you hear his voice, it's like you listen to the whole thing, yeah.

Shawn:

Bruce Almighty, yeah, when he played the voice of God, right? That was perfect, man. Yeah, I loved him. And it was it was kind of cool at the end of it with the mop and how he's cleaning everything up.

G:

He has a great voice. I mean, no matter no matter how you look at it, I mean, there's certain people like you know, he's also like he plays a bunch of different characters, but he couldn't be like a a SpongeBob character. Like you couldn't, like, I don't see him being another character that maybe maybe it's some like unknown animated person, you could put it with.

Shawn:

He's got a cool narrating voice.

G:

Yeah, he's got a very cool narrative voice.

Shawn:

But um, yeah, but when he played God, I mean, I that was so funny. But speaking of God, did you see the video of that Russian dude? So they got like 10 feet of pre fresh snow that drops in this area, yeah. And this guy goes to the top of his apartment complex five stories up, jumps out, does a backflip into this big pile of snow. Dude, you're on your way to seeing the Lord.

G:

Stupid.

Shawn:

I mean, do you ever watch some of these videos? A lot of these Russians do a lot of these crazy ass videos. Crazy Ivan. Oh yeah, red red gone.

G:

Yeah, yeah, crazy Ivan. Listen, um, I would never ever even think of doing that. I mean, like, imagine that guy flying into the snow and like there's a fence.

Shawn:

Yeah, impaled.

G:

Boom.

Shawn:

And God knows where. Yeah, right. Or there's a rock, rock, or some kid left his bike. Yeah. You're going to see the Lord. Stupid. It's just on your way to see the Lord. But they do the other thing, they go on a frozen lake and they cut a hole in the lake just to jump their ass in it. And then do what? Jump out and go, yeah.

G:

Shrinkage.

Shawn:

Dumb, massive shrinkage. Dumb, dumb, dumb. See, another dumb thing was that uh what was his name? That uh Mac Hollins, that receiver for the was it the Patriots? Patriots, yeah. Yeah, the Patriots receiver. He walks in the A AFC championship out of all the characters, okay? All the characters. The Warriors was one of my favorite movies back then. I love the Warriors. The Warriors was cool, cool, cool.

G:

How many times have you seen the Warriors? Tons. I mean, like all of you like over and over. We watched this movie over and over and over. But you had you had that was the most famous one.

Shawn:

You had some bad, you had some bad ass. Yeah, Cyrus was the big head guy, but you you had the he was the head guy of the roofs, yeah. But you roof roofs, baby. But you you had the warriors, you had the baseball furies, right?

SPEAKER_00:

You pick the leader of the orphans, of the orphans, echo the most slimy, gummy individual in the whole damn movie. That that voice, if you watch the movie, you're like I want to shoot. I wanted to shoot him in the movie. Yeah, right?

Shawn:

Yeah, you want to shoot him because his voice was so annoying. Yeah, so he walks in and does this on TV, but damn, did he get play?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

Shawn:

That dude was smart, though.

G:

I mean, he got play out of it. He he came in, he looked at it and everything. Uh he didn't do good with the clinking of the bottles, but he, you know.

Shawn:

He got good play out of it. He got a lot of play out. He got a lot of play out of it. Now, he only had two receptions for 51 yards. So I know what he wants to do. He got exactly what he went. They won. No, no, they still won. It's being replayed, replayed, and we're talking about the shit now. Yeah, but he's a damn orphan, Sean. I mean, come on.

G:

So, what's he gonna do to the Super Bowl? That's baseball fury, baseball. He comes in all painted up with a baseball bag. They don't say anything. I know, like they were like me silent. Maybe he'll do better.

Shawn:

He did do better.

G:

You won.

Shawn:

Yeah, he had he was two two catches for 51 yards. It's all good. You can you can always do better. Yeah, better movie that that they're showing is shut uh that new one, Shelter with Jason Statum. That one's gonna be bad. That's gonna be a bad freaking.

G:

Jason is Jason is like the ultimate right now, like superhero, you know, fighter, like action guy right now. I mean, my my only problem with Jason right now is that like all his movies are becoming very repetitive. And so we watch them, same question. Yeah, yeah. We watch them because I'm always you know, yeah, I I love like his like he has great one-liners in there. He's always like, yeah, and he's always like the guy that everybody underestimates, yeah. You know, don't see coming, that type of thing. So yeah, it's it's awesome. I mean, it's super cool, but he plays that character over and over.

Shawn:

Yeah, so but and we'll still watch it, but we'll watch it. I mean, that that one he I mean, he plays that it's some kind of elite operative or something like that. Reminds me, his character reminds me of like uh how Denzel plays the equalizer. He's a bad dude that plays good or does good for people, yeah. He's one bad dude.

G:

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm I'm I'm with you that the whole exact like Jason in this movie, he's supposedly like he's living in a lighthouse, and the girl like finds him out there and wondering what it is, and she kind of pokes her nose in the wrong place, and he gets revealed, and uh, and everybody's out after him and all that stuff, and blah blah blah. I don't know the movie because we haven't seen it, but it was it looks cool.

Shawn:

Other thing, too, and uh you always notice in these action movies, they're always, always, always driving um uh standard transmission. Standard transmission, man. Right? They're a clutch. I mean, everything's a clutch. Yeah.

G:

Did you did you drive a clutch? Dude, grew up on it. Like every every car, my first car was a clutch. I had a my first car was a Toyota Supra. No way. Selica Supra. Really? Yeah. Um uh the uh but what'd you learn how to drive on? For I learned how to drive on this big ass vans. You remember those big old vans that are like those extension vans, like everything. It was so old, dude, that the player, this is this is what makes it so old. You know, the player in it, the radio player was an A-track.

Shawn:

Oh, I love freaking A-tracks. I do, man.

SPEAKER_00:

I could never you guys would never understand A-track.

G:

I could literally see like the the box that we had on the floor in the van right there with the you know, the steely Dan A-track in there, you pop it.

Shawn:

Most depressing moment is when you know that you pull the A-trap out, and the tape and the whole tape is stuck, you're like, damn. But you if you could rewind it, cassettes cassettes are the same way too. Right?

SPEAKER_00:

You could rewind it.

Shawn:

Yeah, all those little tricks. Yeah, I love that. But the the best thing uh about those was the three on the tree. Three on the tree, man.

G:

Like learn how to do that. Like the most uh you know, like nervous part about shifting and stuff and learn how to do cuts, because we all grinded a clutch, you know, once or twice in our life, but uh as you're learning, but is that rolling back?

Shawn:

Oh shit. You you every you're in the rear view mirror looking, and it's always that one person in panic right up on your ass. Right, right up on your ass. And you're like, you can't even why didn't you literally want to be on your window gonna be like get back, right? Right, back up, exactly. Yeah, and you're you're looking at them because you can all you can see is their eyeballs, right? Because they're so close to the back of your your car. Yeah, and you're thinking of and the breath on the back of your window, and you guys three on the tree, three on the tree clutches, you're gonna get some roll, right? Right? You're gonna get some roll.

G:

It was it was nerve-wracking. I mean, that was the one thing when you let had a clutch, everybody was like always concerned about rolling back, right?

Shawn:

Yeah, I had this, I had this Ford Ranger 100, it was three three speed on the on on the in the tree. I was stuck on this hill, and this dude was right behind me, and I'm like, damn, right behind me. And that clutch rolled. Right. And and I got so nervous, I dropped that thing in a second, and I hit the gas, and man, have you ever smoked them? Oh, yeah. I mean, when you smoke your tires, that thing was like spinning. I was getting posy. It was like smoke was coming up. Oh, it was just big white cloud of smoke.

G:

It's that it's that pop that clutch thing that nobody you never even heard hear that term anymore. Stay off my ass smoke, right?

Shawn:

But you never hear that term anymore because like everything's automatic now. No, I've got I've got actually a six-speed Honda Civic. They don't make a lot of these anymore. Yeah, so it's six-speed Honda Civic sport. And the the amazing thing about this, you know what it is? You get in first, you're you're on a hill, it doesn't roll, Sean.

G:

That's unbelievable.

Shawn:

It doesn't roll. That's it just sits in it from first. It has a mechanism that keeps it there, keeps it in and then and then you you they solved the problem of rolling panic.

G:

Yeah, the rolling panic of clutch.

Shawn:

Yeah, they don't ever have to worry about it. Well, they don't have that many standards anymore.

G:

No, but nobody's making them. Um honestly, like you have to special order them to get them that way. Yeah, if if you want those, but a lot of you know, people don't do that.

Shawn:

Yeah, it's a lot of work. I mean, you especially when you're in town driving, but man, I I still love driving a clutch. Yeah, I do, I love that. Um, the other thing too is um I seen this uh this guy. Do you yeah, have you ever heard of this guy named James Howe? James Howe. Yeah.

G:

Uh no. What's what's who's James Howe?

Shawn:

James Howe uh with Bitcoin.

G:

Oh, that guy that lost the Bitcoin.

Shawn:

Yeah, well, it's a it's a story with Bitcoin.

G:

Right, right, right, right, right, right. He uh was mining for Bitcoin, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shawn:

No, it it that was crazy.

G:

Yeah, I mean, I don't know, like I actually like looked, you know, me Mr. King Computer Geek, I was like interested in like how do you mine for this stuff? Like when when all that Bitcoin and all that you know currency came out, I was like, you know, I'm interested because I want to know about it and stuff. And I started reading into them, like there was all these like they were advertising by these different drives and servers, and you could do this, and it will mine for I didn't quite under understand the concept, but evidently this guy had like mined like 75,000 bitcoins or something like that.

Shawn:

No, it was like 7500 to 8,000 of these bitcoins, but it was at the very beginning of all this, yeah. And he had he had what because back then, I don't know if they still do it now. I'm not exactly sure, but I was reading it, they have like a key code, right?

G:

I think they're like all the key codes, like what they're talking about, is the key code just like to your same thing to get into like ownership, and no, no, it's like but it's the same thing like getting access to your account, right? You have to have a key code to get into it or passcode or whatever. It's the same thing. That's what they but they call it a key code.

Shawn:

So it was on this hard drive, and then he he takes it and he he throws it away. Right.

G:

The key code was on that hard drive.

Shawn:

The key code was on the hard drive, right? So he goes he goes back to the dump and they they won't let him go on the dump. Um below now he tries to get back for 10 years to get this thing because he finds out what is this thing worth.

G:

Well, as the Bitcoin is going up and up and up, and it's what like 8500 uh Bitcoin or something like that? Yeah, hundred thousand, yeah, eighty five hundred thousand per coin. So I can see why if he had seventy-five thousand of these bitcoins, no, it's seventy five hundred, eight thousand.

Shawn:

So he they they estimated it being on almost a billion dollars. A billion dollars. That'd be more way more than that. I mean, that's what they are talking about at the time, like it was like at that time it was like estimated at a billion dollars, billion dollars, and now it's even multi-billion dollars. Talking about the needle in the haystack, unbelievable. So they wouldn't let him go do it. So whoever actually owned it, say that that property's sold.

G:

Yeah, right? Then hey, there's you know, there's still somebody in this world that's gonna be looking for that treasure.

Shawn:

It's like I'm gonna buy this section that they're gonna go through this for the rest of my life looking for hard jobs. Yeah, could you imagine like an auction that out? Uh now you could have this section of this trash heap.

G:

Dude, that's one of those things that like there are gonna be people like you know, you've seen those like treasure hunters and all this stuff. Absolutely, somebody's gonna be looking for that thing because that is some one of the probably most that's bigger than a lottery.

Shawn:

He probably only invests because you think about that every single day, right? Yeah, the only thing you'd invest in is a foot in the ass machine.

unknown:

Right.

G:

You'd be thinking about it for the rest of your life.

Shawn:

Push the button, bam, right in the butt. Because that there's no way I would, I would I can't nightmares. That shit would wake me up. That would wake me up.

G:

You'd be very, very upset.

Shawn:

Very upset. Now, somebody wasn't upset was that that Edwin Castro, that dude that won that two billion dollars. Yeah, what I liked about him, yeah, but I liked it. They had this, they had a short video of him, and he was driving around one of these Volkswagen minibuses. Have you ever had a did you own a Volkswagen?

G:

I had a little Volkswagen bug. Yeah, so did I. 69. Yeah, I don't know what year it was, it was just a red little bug, and I had it in college. I bought it for like 500 bucks.

Shawn:

I can't believe I had a red bug, too.

G:

I drove, yeah. I mean, they're they were everywhere. Like at one point, they were all over the road. Like, and then uh I was driving that thing during winter time, and all of a sudden it was like boom, boom, boom, car engine stops. I get out, and the engine's laying on the ground. Like it is. They're like mistaken for like a lawnmower engine. Yeah, yeah, it rusted out and fell on the ground. Like I've never had a car where the engine falls onto the ground.

Shawn:

That's when you like look behind you, you grab the Vin thing, and you start to get the biggest thing.

G:

And those things are so small and light, like I just literally pushed and dragged the whole thing off to the side of the road by myself, and then I took the license plates off and walked away. And it's probably still in there because it wasn't worth much.

Shawn:

And I'm like, Dude, I had a Volkswagen, I had a bug, I had a Volkswagen thing, and I had a vanigan, but I had to try to see because you know, theory of the bug did it float. So I drove this damn thing underneath one of those little viaducts. It's kind of a little floated. Yeah, I mean, a little, a little bit um, it was uh flooded. So I kept it right alongside where the sidewalk was. So I kept the tires on on the the concrete.

G:

Yeah, you're trying to be safe a little bit.

Shawn:

Exactly. I'm like, well, I'm gonna go ahead and do it. And I go right in the water, and that shit comes right in the car, like it right, it should, right? It comes right in. Well, the car actually starts floating. I have it in second gear. I keep grinding. I'm like driving along the concrete. How wet was it in there? It was so damn wet. I mean, it it was flooding out. But the funny part, when I got to the other side, I had no flipping brakes at all. Oh, it took me like 30 minutes for the damn brakes to dry. Yeah, it like took me 30 minutes, the stupidest thing that I ever did. Dude, it was so dumb.

G:

Those uh VW bugs though, they're like they were like little gas chambers too. Like you would the carbon monoxide and from the engine and stuff because that's how you get the heat. Yeah, you would it would come off the engine and like inevitably you'd be like sucking in all this freaking thing.

Shawn:

It's like driving around in during the summertime, it's like one of those easy bake uh ovens. I'm surprised more people didn't die in those little things. Those things were hot as hell, but uh, we still drove them around because 10 bucks. Right. 10 bucks, you'll drive you anywhere, ten dollars, man. Yep, ten dollars to fill that damn tank up, you'll be driving all freaking. It's not like it was even less. It was. It was like yeah, well, it depends. I mean, how much gas we were paying. Yeah, but I mean it was it was dirt cheap. But I had the van again. I used to take the dogs to the um to the causeway, let them swim all the time. And I realized something if uh it was a couple weeks ago. I had a passenger on a plane, and they kept going on and on and on about these dogs that were on the plane. And um and they're gonna like them on there. Well, the more that they well, you like dogs. Yeah, right.

G:

I love dogs.

Shawn:

Yeah. So when I when I was looking at this person, the more that I looked at him, I'm like, I don't know if I like you that much. You know what I mean? I don't know if I trust you that much. If you're not an animal lover, something a little bit like dogs. The whole thing, I'm like, she, you know, the person is losing me in the conversation, right? And the whole time I'm going, but you don't like dogs.

G:

The crazy thing is, I like my wife, she's like highly allergic to these dogs. And then and I grew up with all kinds of animals. Like my family, like, for some reason, ever since I was a little kid, we always had like the dog of the time. Like we had Great Dane, St. Bernard's, Iris Setters, Chow's. We had like like whatever the hot dogs, black labs, you know, like it was we had all those dogs, you know. And it was like one time we lived in the Redwood Forest in the foothills of California. We had four dogs and like 17 cats. That's crazy. It was like it's it's like so. We loved it. And my wife's family is uh they were in the animal cage business, so they love they had dogs and cats all the time, you know.

Shawn:

Like, but uh we don't have anything, like you know, because when a person does that, and I get that you oh allergies, right? Or sometimes people are just afraid of them.

G:

Yeah, I mean, there's those dogs that are like the classic dogs that everybody is like adamantly afraid of because of the stereotypes of those dogs, you know, Dogman Pincher, Great Danes, pit bulls, people are like scared of those dogs just just because and some of those dogs are like the most lovable balls.

Shawn:

Oh man, the the the best videos that they ever come out with when they show like a pit bull. Because a pit bull was actually bred to be a family, a dog, be a family dog that for the kids to play with them and beat up because they're so meaty, so beefy. But you know, the funny video is when they are like, you know, I were I went out to get this pit bull, and that what I thought what I purchased was this, and they show this massive pit bull. It looks like death standing there, you know what I mean? And then when I got it home, it was like this. Hi. It was like had the little clown hat on, and it's like this goofy little thing. And I love that because it was so stereotypical of these dogs, right? The dogs are just dogs, right? They just love that's all they do. That's all they do. If you if you have a problem, I don't know if I trust you. Yeah, I'm glad you said something that you love them because I've been like, I don't trust your ass shit. I'm telling you, but uh okay. This guy, this is stupid. Guy, did you see the guy that drove the Mercedes into the airport at Detroit?

G:

Oh, yeah, that was that was ridiculous. I mean, not only did he go through the front door, he went all the way to the ticket counter, like ran into the ticket counter. Yeah, it was like express check. That's crazy all the way through.

Shawn:

Like you think, yeah, but if you were picking cars, wouldn't you chose the station wagon?

G:

I don't know if they picked their car properly.

Shawn:

I don't know, but I'm just sitting there thinking, if I would have chosen a car to drive through that, what car today do I want to drive through the airport? Mercedes or the station wagon? I'm thinking of choosing the station wagon. It's just a pick. Depends on the year of the car. Yeah, exactly. Full coverage. So they have this Florida guy, so he steals a boat. And in uh his when they capturing this person, he was dressed up like a woman.

G:

Trying to evade the authorities, right?

Shawn:

Yeah, I love criminals in America. So this the smart ones, it's not gonna go good in jail when they take you there because you're dressed up like a woman with a dress. We're right back to the gravy and a wig. Gravy line, right? Not good. Not gonna be a good one.

SPEAKER_02:

You're looking good.

Shawn:

You're looking fine.

SPEAKER_02:

You looking fine. Why don't you come over here and snuggle?

Shawn:

He likes gravy.

SPEAKER_02:

You mean my friend, he likes gravy.

Shawn:

So did you catch the fast and furious one? No, it didn't. That girl, you didn't catch that one, that blonde? Oh, that yeah, that girl. That dingling runs right past the police officers. Title Little Brat. She runs right past the police officers getting the given a ticket. He chases her down.

G:

Have you been flagged down in the street like that? Yeah, they chased me up. Yeah, I'm right up the street here. They're like, they get on the street and they're like, pull over, get over, pull over. Like you see him, it's like she was like right by.

Shawn:

She likes sped up. Yeah, like indie 500. Yep. So she blows past him, she ends up going right down the street. This is how dumb she was. And parks it. Parks it right on the corner so he could see it. And then walks up there. And the best part of this whole thing, you're gonna show these videos at the bottom, right? You're gonna put the clip. Yeah, I'm gonna put some clips in there. You guys have to watch this. If you didn't see this, you have to watch this clip. This girl is so dumb. So he's talking to her. Entitled. Entitled. There's a whole bunch of stupid. She's gonna get be well dressed in prison too when she gets there. But the The best part of it is when her dad gets on the phone and starts reading her the right act for being such an ass. Well, you don't see it nowadays, right? They're usually blaming the cop or they're blaming somebody else. Right. Finally, they're blaming the girl, and and she he's like, Well, great, you just ruined your damn life, right? There goes your nursing career, there goes this, there goes that. And when you get that one phone call, he goes, think about it. Think about the one person that's gonna bail you out because it won't be this number.

G:

Don't call me.

Shawn:

Exactly. It was perfect. I love that. That was it was the best. Would your parents be bailing you out? Hell no, you kidding me. They would have already hung up. That whole conversation, uh, your son, he uh yeah, Gary's in jail.

G:

Yeah, I don't think my parents would be, they would have left me there. But like, he needs to learn a lesson.

Shawn:

Yeah, you've it's been hung up. There's no way. You better hope it's not the weekend.

SPEAKER_04:

Figure it out.

Shawn:

You better hope it's not the weekend, right? Because you staying in until Monday. You are staying in till Monday, I guarantee you. Now, the other crazy one, you've seen this flirtation on the plane with the wife. Do you see how stupid that was?

G:

What an insecure.

Shawn:

It's like food fight on the plane.

G:

Yeah. This guy was like, I mean, he was like so like wound up because some he thought somebody was flirting with his wife. Like, come on. Like, this is ridiculous. And then he gets starts getting arguments at everybody in a plane, and then he's his retaliation is gonna turn turn around and throw a pizza on you.

Shawn:

Do you ever notice that on a plane, though, when they do that? They like pollinate every person going up. Yeah, right. I'm gonna fight with you, I'm gonna fight with you, I'm gonna fight with you on my way out, right? And everybody's like this. Yeah, bye. As you're exiting the aircraft, everybody's everybody's giving you this big applause as you get stupid people. Stupid. The one thing I always say is in our job, the the um the play is always the same.

G:

Oh, yeah.

Shawn:

The actors are different, actors are different, right? They're always different.

G:

Every day you get on a plane, you like you don't know what you're getting. We don't know. We don't we don't know if we got a clown troop or we got a drama troop.

Shawn:

Yeah. But for sure, but for sure, the the one thing that I know that I got this week. Yeah, what's that? An arrogant ass. Arrogant ass. I did. So let's go to the inspirational quote since we're gonna end it. Yeah, let's start it there. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. And damn, is that right today? That's right.

SPEAKER_00:

Because how many times, how many times? How many times?

G:

You guys have no idea. Yeah, I think we recorded today about 15 times. I don't know. No, I'm exaggerating, but it was like, but this is perfect for us. This is this and the show. We need to continue on. We're continuing on. We doesn't matter how long it takes, we're gonna continue to do it and we're gonna have fun doing it.

Shawn:

I'm gonna continue to do it because I'm gonna come back here and beat up on your ass as much as you beat up on my ass. It isn't that's the best part about this, is because it it the more that we get warmed up, yeah, when you guys hear like all this. Warmed up? See? See what I'm saying? Right? You always gotta you guys heard it. Yeah, he's always I don't give a crap. He always does that. But you know, that's the one thing that I love about this. The more that we get warmed up, yeah, the funnier that it gets with me and him. And even if you guys aren't laughing, I'm always laughing. Always laughing. So you guys got to do the same thing. So even if you didn't find us funny.
