Where the characters are as 
quirky as the vines.

I'm Julie. 
And I'm Jake.

00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Join us as we dive into the wild
world of garage sales, yard 

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,920
sales, estate sales, and 
anywhere second hand sales are 

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,680
happening from. 
Bizarre bargains to hilarious 

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,920
haggles. 
You won't believe the stories 

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,040
we've got lined up. 
Let's get unhinged. 

9
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,040
Can you hear me? 
Yep, I got you. 

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,920
OK, I'm good. 
Cool, yeah. 

11
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:34,080
Are you good? 
That was a big. 

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,160
Yawn. 
That was a big yawn. 

13
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:37,600
That was a big yawn for a big 
boy. 

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:46,560
Yeah, I went down to the office.
Normally I work remote, but once

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,800
in a while you got to go into 
the office and it's a 2 hour 

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,960
drive when the traffic is 
friendly and it was not 

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,880
friendly. 
So it made for a long day, which

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,800
is great. 
You know, I'm, I am grateful 

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,760
that I got the flexibility that 
I've got. 

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,640
But when you do got to go, 
you're like, oh, that's four 

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,120
hours of work. 
I'm not going to do how it is. 

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,960
So yeah, I've been, I've been 
kind of dragging today. 

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,520
Well, I also work remote. 
No, actually, I work in the 

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,720
office. 
I mean, when it's just you and 

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,680
you work for yourself and my I 
have a office in my home. 

26
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,160
Oh my gosh. 
Is this like a like 

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,400
Schrodinger's cat? 
Like is she remote or is she in 

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,640
the office? 
I'm sorry, whose cat did you 

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,200
say? 
I don't know if I said it right,

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,880
don't point it out. 
No, I, I just want to make sure 

31
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:46,600
I, I have a bum ear and I wanted
to make sure I want to give you 

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,440
credit if you got it right. 
I said Harry's cat. 

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,040
I didn't say that. 
Harry, you. 

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,400
Didn't say Harry. 
What'd you say? 

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,680
Schrodinger's. 
Yes, yeah, you got it. 

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Oh. 
OK, good. 

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,800
I thought you were going to 
correct me and I was like, my 

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,440
ego can't handle it today. 
What's great about having a Home

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Office is I feel like you should
be able to expense any DoorDash.

40
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:14,000
So you can, OK, first of all, 
I'm going to say this and I'm 

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,520
not a tax advisor. 
So if someone says Julie said 

42
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,000
I'm, I'm not a tax advisor. 
So that's my legal claim to it. 

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,280
But like if you do DoorDash and 
you're having a client meeting 

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,120
in your Home Office, you can 
expense it as a company meal. 

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,640
What if you're having you have 
DoorDash and your client meeting

46
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,800
is over Zoom? 
No. 

47
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:46,360
You and you're enjoying your 
freshly delivered taquitos while

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,320
on the Zoom call. 
OK. 

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320
That's probably not going to be 
an expense that I would ask my 

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,600
accounting team to like a that's
going to be a business expense. 

51
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,080
I'm sure other people do it and 
it's probably fine. 

52
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,640
I don't, Jake, I don't know. 
And also I really don't care. 

53
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,640
I just what I care about is I 
don't want to have to pay more 

54
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:15,000
taxes than what I already pay. 
So if there is a loophole, I'll 

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
take it there. 
Is you just need to make a lot 

56
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,360
more money and then you won't 
have to pay any at all. 

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,840
That's the goal. 
That's what I'm trying to get. 

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,760
But also, I just want people to 
pay me because I'm adorable and 

59
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,520
funny and right now they're 
having to use skills that I like

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,520
cultivated over decades of work,
and that's a lot. 

61
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,200
That's a lot. 
Should be a cutie pie deduction.

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920
You know? 
It's like, you know, like, don't

63
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,680
like if. 
If you are just totes adorbs, 

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,520
skip the line for. 
You know I like that, but then 

65
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,960
like, how do you quantify totes 
adorbs? 

66
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,160
I think there's probably a table
for that. 

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Oh OK, I did ask one of my 
financial friends that if I if I

68
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:10,160
paid myself and just tips would 
I not have to pay any taxes 

69
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,120
because now tips are no longer 
being taxed. 

70
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,680
Interesting. 
But so I was asking the CFO that

71
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,440
and he just kind of looked at me
and I was like, do I need to ask

72
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,600
a tax advisor? 
He just looked at me and nodded 

73
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,160
his head. 
He didn't say a word. 

74
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,080
He's like, I'm not, I'm not 
touching that with a 10 foot 

75
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,720
pole. 
Like I'm not giving you 

76
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,480
anything. 
So also, I'm pretty sure if I 

77
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,920
asked my tax advisor, I'm like, 
hey, so I'm, I'm going to make 

78
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,880
minimum wage. 
Anything over that I'm going to 

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,960
pay myself as a tip. 
Can I like, can we just have 

80
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,160
that be my salary? 
And so that'll be a fun 

81
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
conversation I have with some 
savvy folks. 

82
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320
I've thought about doing that if
like, you know, negotiating with

83
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,960
contractors to do like housework
and like here's the quote of 

84
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,920
what it'll take and go, let's 
cut that in half and I'll I'll 

85
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,280
pay you that amount, but half of
it's going to be in tips and you

86
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:04,640
won't get taxed on that half. 
How about that? 

87
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,600
Or like reduce it, reduce it by 
25% and I'll pay the majority of

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,000
that in non taxable tips. 
Yeah, also I thought about just 

89
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,040
putting the the tip like app on 
my phone and so whenever like 

90
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,760
someone's out and like if I'm 
having yeah, like there's a 

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,480
bunch of apps you can put on 
your phone and you can ask for 

92
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,120
tips, whatever. 
And like, as I'm out with 

93
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,160
friends having lunch or, you 
know, just hanging out with 

94
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,880
them, and if I say something 
witty, if I could just turn 

95
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,600
around and give them my phone, 
if, like, would you like to tip 

96
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,360
me on that joke? 
Yeah. 

97
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Come on. 
I didn't realize that was a 

98
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,160
thing. 
That's oh man, that's that seems

99
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,280
really easy to abuse. 
Well, so like I use QuickBooks 

100
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:57,160
for my accounting, so I could 
there's in QuickBooks, there's a

101
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,240
tipping situation. 
Yeah, but having it on a phone 

102
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080
that way you can just kind of 
like fire it up and turn it 

103
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,880
around to the person. 
Yeah. 

104
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Which honestly, like in the 
context of what we sometimes, 

105
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,560
sometimes talk about, you could 
have that going at your garage 

106
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,040
sale. 
I mean I I mean if everyone else

107
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,200
is asking for a tip. 
Why not? 

108
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,400
Yeah. 
And then but again, garage 

109
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,560
sales, and I think we've talked 
about it before, they don't 

110
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,320
really get taxed. 
So like, I don't really know if 

111
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,080
I I feel like if you started 
accepting tips at your garage 

112
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,920
sale, it's probably a red flag 
to the IRS to take a harder look

113
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,920
at your finances. 
Was though like on on the topic 

114
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,040
of taxes and being responsible 
or irresponsible with. 

115
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Is this Is this going to be a 
sexy episode? 

116
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Hop on. 
We are revolutionizing 

117
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120
transportation. 
It's a Segway. 

118
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,280
Oh no. 
That's right. 

119
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,560
So on the topic of, you know, 
maybe mismanaging other people's

120
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:13,640
money, do you have, if you were 
to like do a mental audit of the

121
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,840
stuff in your possession right 
now, whether that's at your home

122
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,360
or in a storage unit or 
something like that, Are any of 

123
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,880
those items not yours? 
And I'm not saying, oh, they're 

124
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,040
your husband's and you intend to
throw them away when he's not 

125
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,720
looking, but they don't belong 
to you. 

126
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,920
There's someone else's, but 
you've got them. 

127
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Yes. 
And you're saying that was like,

128
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,360
I can hear, like there's a huge 
smile behind that you seem. 

129
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,880
Are you pleased about that or 
are you like you don't want to 

130
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,920
share it? 
No, because I'm afraid of all 

131
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,240
the stories I could tell behind 
it. 

132
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,560
But also, Jake, do you have 
things that belong to other 

133
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,000
people? 
Yes, I do. 

134
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,200
Where is this conversation 
going? 

135
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Well, I, I, I do have. 
There's one thing in particular 

136
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,600
I'd like to talk about. 
OK. 

137
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,080
And I, I can share that. 
And for me, it's like, oh, we'll

138
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,880
try to keep it in the realm of 
second hand vintage stuff. 

139
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,360
OK. 
Something you've got that isn't 

140
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:25,080
yours and it is unique. 
It's vintage, it's antique. 

141
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
It's it's something that, yeah, 
you could find it. 

142
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,880
Oh, wow. 
That's on eBay and it's listed 

143
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,560
for that. 
I'm guessing that's what it 

144
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,240
would go for, you know, kind of 
thing. 

145
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,760
Yeah, OK. 
So I have something like that 

146
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,520
and I've had it on a shelf here 
for a while. 

147
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,360
OK. 
And it's like just there's an 

148
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,120
interesting thing to look at. 
It's yours, actually. 

149
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,120
See, this is where I was 
getting. 

150
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,840
I'm like, he's going to say he 
has something of mine and I need

151
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,720
to go get it because it's 14. 
Thousands of dollars. 

152
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,800
Yeah, we're a little too 
invested in this. 

153
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,080
I'm talking about this. 
And you're getting closer and 

154
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,480
closer to the camera. 
I'm like, you're never this 

155
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,800
interested. 
I'm not. 

156
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,120
I was waiting for you to be 
like, yeah, so own this thing of

157
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,800
our brother Richie. 
And I'm like, oh God. 

158
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,720
I don't care, I. 
Just second, you said it was 

159
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,800
mine and I was like, what could 
he have that I could possibly 

160
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,840
want to force me to drive up 
there to go get it? 

161
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,040
I'm breaking to your house, 
Jake. 

162
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,440
I know your dogs. 
Yeah. 

163
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,160
I know you would. 
This is something of yours from 

164
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,800
way back. 
It actually has your name on it.

165
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,080
It's oh, I know what it is. 
Yeah. 

166
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,320
Yeah, you do. 
Can you? 

167
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Well, OK, if you're so smart, 
would you care to share with our

168
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,480
listener what this thing is? 
The solo listener. 

169
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,440
That's right. 
It is my lunch box from 

170
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,600
elementary school. 
You are correct. 

171
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,520
Can you go further? 
What? 

172
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,840
What exactly is this thing? 
No, because I don't remember 

173
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,880
what's on it. 
You and I had this discussion a 

174
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,440
few months ago. 
Wait, it's on the display in 

175
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,200
your hallway, right? 
Right. 

176
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,920
Yeah. 
You have my lunch box on 

177
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,400
display. 
That's what offends you. 

178
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:15,720
How dare you? 
Well, part of me is like, what? 

179
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,160
It is cool 2 it's mine. 
Three, you put it on display 

180
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,200
like it should be in a museum, 
and I'm kind of affected. 

181
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,920
So yeah, in this scenario, I'm, 
I'm be rugged and handsome 

182
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,960
Indiana Jones, and you're the 
conniving, you know, French guy 

183
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,560
that's working with the Nazis. 
Oh, I wanted to be What's the 

184
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,520
little kids name and Doctor 
Jones? 

185
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,680
Yeah, short round. 
Short round that is not the name

186
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,560
I was. 
Going to say no, no and no. 

187
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,080
You are not short round in this 
scenario. 

188
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,520
It really doesn't map over in 
that way. 

189
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,000
But he was adorable. 
Yes, and he would have a 

190
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,640
deduction on his taxes.

200
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,640
We have a Patreon. 
There's a lot of nudity. 

201
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:41,400
You should check it out. 
So this is a Disney metal lunch 

202
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,200
box original thing. 
So at some point lunch boxes 

203
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,240
were metal like tin or something
like that, and then they became 

204
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,560
plastic. 
So this is from back when all 

205
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,040
these things came with a 
thermos. 

206
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,880
We don't have the thermos no 
more. 

207
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,200
Who knows what happened with 
that. 

208
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,840
I wonder where the thermoses 
ever metal or were they always 

209
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,800
plastic? 
No, they were metal. 

210
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Yeah, wow. 
Whenever you think of like the 

211
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,600
original Stanley Thermos, it was
a insulated metal type thing. 

212
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:21,760
Now I think for that lunch box, 
which is clearly mine, it did 

213
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,640
have. 
Now I know the outside of it was

214
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,000
like the the I want to say press
10 but it was a metal but I 

215
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,800
don't know like what the 
insulation if it was a plastic 

216
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,920
or if it was metal. 
There was no insulation on these

217
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,000
things. 
No insulation though it, this is

218
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,480
kind of a pressed metal, like 
all the designs on. 

219
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,960
It's got all, all sorts of 
characters on it. 

220
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,480
It's all all the classic Disney 
stuff. 

221
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,320
It's all multi colored and 
everything like that. 

222
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,120
And yeah, you run your fingers 
over it and everything is kind 

223
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,680
of raised. 
Well, I'm also like I'm, I'm I 

224
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,640
am very much resorting to like 
very younger Julie of I want it 

225
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,720
back. 
It's mine. 

226
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Yeah, if I hold it up this way, 
you can actually see your name 

227
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:13,120
in marker on the on the rim. 
Still it's I look. 

228
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,840
So the questions I have around 
this is like, hey, do you have 

229
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,320
something that belongs to 
someone else? 

230
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,400
And if they don't know you have 
it, is it ethical to go ahead 

231
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,480
and sell it? 
You cannot sell that. 

232
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:31,960
I know you have it. 
Again, if they don't know that 

233
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,760
you have it, if they thought 
it's like it's, it's lost to 

234
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,320
time, it's out of sight, out of 
mind, like many things that we 

235
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,600
hold on to for a long time and 
become oh wow, I forgot that 

236
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,600
thing. 
I haven't seen this thing in 

237
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,600
years. 
Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, look 

238
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,560
at it for a second and back it 
goes until you die and someone 

239
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:55,440
else comes across it. 
You have this thing that person 

240
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360
like, they will never think 
about it unless they see it. 

241
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:05,880
You know, I mean, part of me is 
did they forget about it or did 

242
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,800
they not want it? 
So I mean, you do bring up a 

243
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,320
good ethical dilemma because I, 
I also think about it of like, 

244
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,800
is it up to a certain dollar 
value? 

245
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:22,280
But again, it's like, well, if 
it was $10 today, OK, so let's 

246
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,880
take my lunch box again, 
clarifying word, my lunch box 

247
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,600
And you say, Hey, I looked up 
the resale value of it and 

248
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,400
they're going for $100 on eBay. 
I'm like, oh, that's cool, I 

249
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,200
want it. 
Or you're like, hey, I looked up

250
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,080
the resale value of it and 
they're going for $4000 at 

251
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,800
Christie's. 
Cool. 

252
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,480
I still want it. 
Like it's, it's mine. 

253
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,000
Like my name's on it. 
It's mine. 

254
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,640
But if you're like, yeah, 
there's no value to it. 

255
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,640
Like you can buy it off at eBay 
for $10. 

256
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,240
Like, oh, well, I'm so glad you 
have my lunch box as home decor 

257
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,120
in your house. 
And then at that point I'm like,

258
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,960
well, again, I'm so I don't know
why I'm being so attached to 

259
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,080
this lunch box. 
Well, yeah, I know you've made 

260
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,680
it very clear on this on this 
podcast that you are bloodless 

261
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,040
and you don't. 
You don't care about anything 

262
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,000
other than making that coin. 
You are Little Miss Andrew Tate.

263
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,960
Look at you and. 
Do not call me that, I will 

264
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,400
punch you. 
Through this. 

265
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,480
This computer. 
So, so, yeah. 

266
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,120
What? 
What? 

267
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,160
What is that? 
So we're like you. 

268
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,960
It's the little sister in me 
that you have something of mine 

269
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,040
and now I want it back even. 
Though. 

270
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,440
I wouldn't put it anywhere in my
house, OK, let's not use the 

271
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,400
lunch box because I can't get 
off of that. 

272
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,000
So part of me is going like, 
does somebody? 

273
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,040
Does somebody want it because 
they recognize like the values 

274
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,880
gone up and they want that money
for themselves. 

275
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,680
Now here's the other conundrum. 
In our situation, I did not buy 

276
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,360
that lunch box, No. 
You went through a little bit. 

277
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:11,840
Right. 
Our parents bought it. 

278
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,320
So even though my name is on it,
do I own it or does it belong to

279
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,400
our parents? 
So like, then there's the whole 

280
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,680
like who, who actually bought 
it, like that type of stuff. 

281
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Like I hear, I feel like what 
you're saying is OK part of it. 

282
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,520
Like you, it sounds like the 
ethical thing to do would be to 

283
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,960
check with the person, 
especially if it is a high 

284
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,040
dollar value. 
And I think we have a general 

285
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,080
idea, all of us, as to what high
dollar value means, right? 

286
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,120
So you if, if it's getting past 
10 bucks, reach out to the 

287
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,040
person. 
Hey, remember that thing? 

288
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,400
Do you want it? 
Maybe you mentioned what it 

289
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:59,480
might go for, but also, OK, 
well, there's the monetary value

290
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,240
and then there's the emotional 
value. 

291
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,680
You certainly want to check on 
that. 

292
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Now, you hadn't thought about 
this thing until I just brought 

293
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:12,200
it up. 
Now are you responding to the 

294
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,839
perceived dollar value or is 
this like an emotional value 

295
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,960
thing for you? 
I am responding to my older 

296
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,119
brother has something of mine 
and I want it back. 

297
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,119
OK, OK, well that that's valid 
too. 

298
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,960
Again, I don't know where I 
would put it, but yeah, I want 

299
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,000
it. 
But that thing is, is like, hey,

300
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
if, if I don't have anywhere to 
put it, I am glad that you have 

301
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,440
it in your house and you enjoy 
it as home decor. 

302
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,440
But don't ever sell it like 
that. 

303
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,400
That heirloom, that really thin 
metal lunch box, lives in our 

304
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,680
family. 
I finally found something that 

305
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,960
you're actually invested in, but
I think The funny thing is like 

306
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,680
once I give this thing back to 
you, you're not going to care 

307
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,560
about it as much. 
No, I'm not. 

308
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,880
I'm like, cool, you know what 
I'm going to do is I'm, I still 

309
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240
have my old Polly Pocket. 
I'm going to put my Polly Pocket

310
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,760
in there. 
OK. 

311
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,640
Yeah, it's, it's just going to 
be a memento of my childhood. 

312
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,200
It's going to live in one little
lunch box. 

313
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,440
A little nesting doll of plastic
toxic memories. 

314
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,480
Yes, yes. 
So this thing depending on the 

315
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,040
eBay listing you look at can go 
for anywhere from 100 like 50 to

316
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,200
120 bucks. 
Oh, OK. 

317
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,680
Yeah, I don't think I would sell
it for that because like, I like

318
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,760
it is a pretty cool piece of 
just art and they're just not 

319
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,680
crafted the same anymore. 
So whenever you originally asked

320
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,120
me like, do I have something 
that belongs to someone else 

321
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:53,960
kind of in the vintage space, 
but not maybe not really, I'm 

322
00:18:53,960 --> 00:19:00,600
going to say this. 
My husband and his buddies used 

323
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,360
to throw like cookouts, invite 
the whole neighborhood over, 

324
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,720
that type of thing. 
So in our attic, we currently 

325
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,840
have two items that my husband 
did not buy, but it's considered

326
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,800
communal property among him and 
his buddies. 

327
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,160
But all of his buddies have 
moved out of the area that we 

328
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,680
live in. 
And so now it's kind of ours, 

329
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,600
but we also don't own like quote
UN quote own it. 1 is a Nacho 

330
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,640
cheese machine. 
Oh wow. 

331
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,080
And the other one is like a 
movie theater popcorn machine. 

332
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,800
Oh man, how much? 
How much action do those things 

333
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,040
see? 
None now, but back in the day, 

334
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,280
whenever they'd have these big 
blowout parties, like they're 

335
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,640
rocking and rolling and, you 
know, had all this stuff going 

336
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,240
on and and I know that those are
up in our attic. 

337
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,040
I don't see them. 
I don't go up in the attic, but 

338
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,240
I know that they're there and I 
feel like they're the hunch on 

339
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,160
my hunchback of Notre Dame life.
And I'm like, it's just weighing

340
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,480
me down knowing that they're up 
there but. 

341
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Whenever I mentioned to him 
like, hey, do you think we 

342
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,920
should get rid of those, the 
answer is always no. 

343
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,360
And is it because it's communal 
property, like we don't have the

344
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,000
right to get rid of it? 
I think he's thinking that 

345
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,280
someday we will use it again. 
And I'm like, you know, they 

346
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,000
make microwave popcorn. 
Or we could just like, buy the 

347
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,200
big bags of pop. 
Like, I don't know. 

348
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,920
I don't know what he's thinking.
He wants another moment in the 

349
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,160
sun. 
Like I can still throw a rager 

350
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,080
if razor means, you know, 
prepared nachos. 

351
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,840
Well also like I don't know how 
well that Nacho cheese machine 

352
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,240
was cleaned out after the last 
party. 

353
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,120
I would assume that they it was 
cleaned up pretty well, but I 

354
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:58,400
don't know for sure. 
Also The thing is a fire hazard.

355
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,760
It gets really hot because I 
think one side of it is for 

356
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,080
chili and the other side is for 
cheese, and you have to get a 

357
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:09,680
specific type of both of those 
things to put in there. 

358
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,360
It's not like just any chili or 
any cheese works in it. 

359
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,920
Yeah, it needs to be the right 
kind of like polyurethane 

360
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,240
derivative cheese to get the 
right consistency that we all 

361
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,160
love to know. 
Yeah, well, and part of me is 

362
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,200
going to like, when would I ever
use this thing again? 

363
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,680
I'm going maybe if I bought an 
old timey movie theater and 

364
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,760
wanted to, like, just sink a 
bunch of money into a bad 

365
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,600
business decision. 
At least I got a popcorn machine

366
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,560
and a Nacho cheese machine. 
You're halfway there, really. 

367
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,560
That's that's all you really 
need and the rest just kind of 

368
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,920
presents itself. 
Yeah, yeah. 

369
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,960
And I mean, and I think if you 
wanted to buy them, they're, I 

370
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,080
mean, brand new, they're kind of
expensive. 

371
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,400
But boy do I have a low low 
price of ticket. 

372
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:04,760
So would you say that like if 
those things were somehow not in

373
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,680
the attic, would your husband 
know that they were gone? 

374
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,000
I mean say. 
He would. 

375
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,800
He would find out. 
OK. 

376
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,920
And then it would matter to him.
Yeah, 'cause it, I mean, like to

377
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,480
access our attic, you have to be
within our house. 

378
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,400
And so like, I couldn't be like,
oh, maybe somebody stole it. 

379
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,040
Like no it. 
Didn't find and like. 

380
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,120
Breakthrough the wall to get 
into the attic to take our 

381
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:35,280
popcorn machine. 
It was a targeted strike. 

382
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,120
That damn Louvre thief strikes 
again. 

383
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:43,360
Sacra Blue. 
Yeah, no, nothing like that. 

384
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,880
So anyway, and it's also like 
it's not really taking up space 

385
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,880
in the house, but it's also not 
really ours. 

386
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,480
I don't. 
I don't know who owns it, but we

387
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,880
are stewards of it right now. 
It's where you got to like maybe

388
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,440
maybe the the trick here, Julie,
is to reach out to Doug's pals 

389
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,440
and go, how do you guys feel 
about this thing still being 

390
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,560
around though? 
And they'll go. 

391
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,480
What are you even talking about?
I don't think that would go over

392
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,160
well because what happens is 
whenever I message one of his 

393
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,560
buddies a question like that, 
they don't respond to me. 

394
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,760
They respond back to him. 
It's like, hey man, why is your 

395
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,480
wife blowing up my. 
Phone your woman. 

396
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:33,040
So yeah, that's a conversation 
for my husband and I, but I just

397
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,440
know I'm going to lose that 
conversation every time. 

398
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Well, at least it's in the 
attic. 

399
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,760
It's not like it he has those 
things parked in the living room

400
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,680
and they're just conversation 
pieces or something. 

401
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,920
For a while we did have them 
parked in the garage and so at 

402
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,360
least they're up in the attic 
now. 

403
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,200
I also they're quite heavy so I 
don't really know how he got 

404
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:57,200
them up in that. 
You know, it's just this thing's

405
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,880
been hanging out here and it's 
been weighing on me. 

406
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,840
So I, I wanted to bring it up 
and along with that question 

407
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,680
because I'm sure a lot of other 
people might have something that

408
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,400
isn't there heirloom or isn't 
there potentially valuable 

409
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,840
thing. 
And yeah, it seems like the the 

410
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,920
cool thing to do would be to 
bring it up. 

411
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,840
Yeah. 
With somebody, especially if 

412
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,440
they've got like the potential 
for some emotional attachment to

413
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,520
it. 
Well, and so on a similar topic,

414
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,280
whenever I moved in with my 
husband right before we got 

415
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,360
married, he had an extra 
Christmas tree in like an 

416
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:40,360
upstairs closet. 
And so whenever we were selling 

417
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:43,280
that house, moving to our 
current house and I was packing 

418
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,480
up everything and I started 
counting and we had four 

419
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,920
Christmas trees in the house. 
One of them was mine and the 

420
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,040
other three were friends of his 
that he had just like they 

421
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,360
didn't have any storage space. 
And so they asked him, Hey, 

422
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:58,840
would you hold on to these 
Christmas trees? 

423
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,800
And I was like, well, can we 
give them back to them? 

424
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,040
He's like, how they probably 
don't want it. 

425
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,080
It's been years. 
I think that's the other thing 

426
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,240
too, is that people say, Hey, 
will you hold on to this? 

427
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,520
And then forget years later that
they even owned the thing. 

428
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,400
Luckily for me, the local 
elementary school was looking 

429
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,280
for some some fake Christmas 
trees for whatever kind of 

430
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,480
decoration or play that they 
were doing. 

431
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,600
So instead of those trees going 
to the landfilled, I just drove 

432
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,080
them down the street to our 
elementary school. 

433
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,520
And I was like, you can use four
of them. 

434
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,200
And they were like, yeah, I was 
like, I don't think if any of 

435
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,840
them light up, but here you go. 
They're like, this is perfect. 

436
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,200
Yeah, the kids can still string 
their stuff on there. 

437
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,480
That's great. 
Yeah. 

438
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,880
Well, I hope you, like you'd 
like to bring this back full 

439
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,960
circle to the topic of, like, 
taxes and the IRSI. 

440
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,800
Hope you guys at least sent 
those friends that stored their 

441
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:56,240
trees there a prorated bill. 
My my husband is not ruthless 

442
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,280
like I am. 
I would wait. 

443
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,120
Am I about to get a bill for 
that lunch kit? 

444
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,760
That's where I'm going, yes. 
Oh my God, this is how you let 

445
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:12,600
me know. 
You know, it's, I don't know it 

446
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,440
like as people kind of canvas 
their stuff and if you are 

447
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,040
planning for a second hand sale 
of some sort, you come across 

448
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,840
something that's not yours and 
you're not on the outs with 

449
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,360
somebody and it's not dangerous 
to get in contact with them. 

450
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,840
And it really seems like they 
might have some kind of 

451
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,080
attachment to the thing. 
Yeah, do them a solid. 

452
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,080
Let them know before you, you 
know, get rid of the thing. 

453
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,040
But that's my tip. 
So, Julie, I I hope that when 

454
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,600
when you do get your hands back 
on this, you take this to your 

455
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,080
next client lunch. 
I'm going to pack this thing 

456
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,760
with some freshly made nachos 
and popcorn. 

457
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,760
No, and I'm going to take it 
with a tuna fish sandwich. 

458
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,920
And what else stinks? 
Some fresh broccoli. 

459
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,560
What's been inside this thing? 
What did you used to have for 

460
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,920
lunch as a kid? 
Cream of mushroom soup. 

461
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,160
Oh, what? 
Yeah, I would put it in the 

462
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:14,400
thermos and I would have that. 
Don't judge me. 

463
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,040
I loved cream of mushroom soup 
and I still love it. 

464
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,720
I love mushroom soup and 
probably some goldfish and I'm 

465
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,080
sure Mom threw some carrots in 
there and I probably threw the 

466
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,200
carrots away because I hated 
carrots. 

467
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,760
So you know. 
Yeah, you're really more into 

468
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,720
the the slurpable food groups 
you. 

469
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,120
Know I really didn't want to 
have to chew anything like even 

470
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:40,920
a goldfish. 
You can put the goldfish cracker

471
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,520
in your mouth and let it. 
Dissolve. 

472
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,600
Yeah, like an orange paste. 
Yes, yeah, the carrot. 

473
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760
No. 
You mean anything that a dog 

474
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,480
chews to clean their teeth? 
Now, man, I don't want it unless

475
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,680
it's covered in ranch and then 
we're talking. 

476
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,920
Now you're talking the only the 
only like school lunch stuff I 

477
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,840
can remember was like the 
cafeteria business we used to 

478
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,680
get. 
I loved steak Finger Day. 

479
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,160
Oh yeah, Well, that you just 
brought that back to me. 

480
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:12,520
Thank. 
You. 

481
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,640
You're welcome. 
Because it was the steak 

482
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,240
fingers, the mashed potatoes, 
the delicious yeast rolls. 

483
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,800
Man, good times. 
The would, I think it was brown 

484
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,680
yogurt, wasn't it? 
It was more of like a brown 

485
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,600
juice. 
It wasn't like they didn't have 

486
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:35,160
the viscosity to be gravy, it 
was a brown juice that kind of 

487
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,440
got thrown at the potatoes. 
Let's let's just call it an azu 

488
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,040
sauce. 
So not and not brown juice 

489
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,080
because doesn't sound 
appetizing. 

490
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,560
But yeah, it was a very thinned 
out gravy that they could feed 

491
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,720
all the children's with. 
But the mashed potatoes were on 

492
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,800
point. 
Those rolls were great. 

493
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,200
Yeah. 
Yeah, good times. 

494
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,240
Were you a fan of the 
rectangular pizzas? 

495
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,760
Of course, I mean, whenever you 
got your own pizza, it was 

496
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,680
heaven. 
I loved it. 

497
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,800
And I think it became really 
popular because Teenage Mutant 

498
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,520
Ninja Turtles were they came out
whenever you and I were in 

499
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,080
elementary school. 
And so whenever we had Teenage 

500
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,360
Mutant Ninja Turtle Day at 
school, we had the pizza for 

501
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,280
lunch. 
It came with the green fortune 

502
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,480
cookie, right? 
And probably like a fruit cup or

503
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,280
something like that. 
I was going to bring this up 

504
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,200
because normally, like your, 
your standard issue, you know, 

505
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,840
general infantry middle school 
pizza was rectangular. 

506
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,240
It perfectly fit the largest 
rectangle on the lunch tray. 

507
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:55,560
Kind of like consistency and 
feel and taste of plump wet 

508
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,600
cardboard. 
And it had like the, I guess 

509
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,920
little sausage bits were on 
there and, you know, it, it was 

510
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,400
what it was. 
I was not a fan of it, but 

511
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,480
that's what we had. 
And it would, can consistently 

512
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,000
come with an effort at a salad, 
which would be kind of like a 

513
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,200
few, you know, pluck things from
an iceberg and a, a, a scrape of

514
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,240
mushroom or something or of a 
tomato. 

515
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,200
Yeah. 
And corn, you know, it's got to 

516
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,480
get the cord on there. 
Yeah. 

517
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,400
So Ninja Turtle Day came out. 
And I, I mean, it totally worked

518
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,960
on me. 
I was like, totally in the 

519
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,240
crosshairs for this thing. 
Ninja Turtles. 

520
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,080
Yes. 
The movies. 

521
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,800
There's a movie now, and we're 
having a special lunch at school

522
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,280
in honor of the movie. 
And I was never, you know, 

523
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,160
looking back on it, I was never 
clear on how that came about. 

524
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,200
Was that just our school or was 
that a marketing gimmick that 

525
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,280
happened regionally? 
How widespread was this? 

526
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Because the pizza that day was 
different. 

527
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,280
The pizza was round and they had
pepperoni and it was more of a 

528
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,080
deep dish kind of thing to it. 
Yeah. 

529
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,560
And we also had corn. 
I mean, I wouldn't put it past 

530
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,880
the evil marketing people that 
they infiltrated elementary 

531
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,160
schools across the nation. 
I think that's the case of like,

532
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,200
and there was like a like when 
you said it was a green fortune 

533
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,960
cookie. 
This this sucker was like 

534
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,640
vibrant green. 
Yeah. 

535
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,840
Like there was like, like a a 
Burning Man amount of chemicals 

536
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,840
in the dye on that thing. 
And you opened it up. 

537
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,600
And every one of the fortunes is
go watch the Ninja Turtles 

538
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,960
movies. 
I was going to do that anyway. 

539
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,000
You could give me a different 
fortune. 

540
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,280
No. 
I remember that. 

541
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,680
Golly what a ride man to grow up
in the 80s and the 90s with all 

542
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,160
those chemicals and processed 
foods and just propaganda shoved

543
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:07,040
down our throats. 
Not what now, you know, like you

544
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,040
guys are growing up in a 
different time. 

545
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,320
Yeah, we didn't have to walk 
uphill both ways in the snow. 

546
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,720
We had to sit through marketing 
campaigns, propaganda left and 

547
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,640
right. 
It was. 

548
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,160
It was great. 
Like, you guys have it handed to

549
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,320
you easy on TikTok. 
We used to have to get it in the

550
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,960
cafeteria. 
Yeah. 

551
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,240
So no, I'll get this back to you
at some point. 

552
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,360
I'll get it. 
I'll see what I can get for it. 

553
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,960
And depending on that, you'll 
have it back. 

554
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,240
I will cut you if that doesn't 
come back to me eventually. 

555
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,680
I believe you. 
Alright, that's what I got, 

556
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:42,800
Julie. 
I love it. 

557
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,120
Thanks, Jake. 
Alright, see you. 

558
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:44,760
Bye.
