How To Navigate: Landmarks vs. Street Names | Twitty In The City Ep. 60

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Before my brother in law, Chubby, before he passed away, he used to do this thing and he used to always tell me that like every place that I've lived, I lived in a lot of places growing up and even as an adult I've lived in a lot of states, a lot of cities. He used to tell me, he said the first thing you got to do when you move to your new place is get in your car and go get lost. Yep, just go get lost until you feel like you really lost and then find every way back to your house without you knowing. That way you learn every single road that's in your neighborhood. [00:00:28] Speaker B: Yep. Twitty in the City. [00:00:32] Speaker A: Aloha. [00:00:33] Speaker B: See the thing about this show I love nothing is scripted, nothing is fully prepared. [00:00:38] Speaker A: I actually asked you, that's how I wanted to do it too. [00:00:41] Speaker B: Yeah, well you about to really get it to the fact this is Twitty in the City. I'm Twitty. That's thc. [00:00:46] Speaker A: Aloha. [00:00:47] Speaker B: Thanks for hitting the like, thanks for hitting the subscribe. We gonna have a conversation we just had outside this door before we even got in here. [00:00:54] Speaker A: Okay. [00:00:55] Speaker B: You was talking on how there's two types of people that give directions. Landmarkers or actual street directioners. [00:01:07] Speaker A: Correct. [00:01:08] Speaker B: I'm assuming you fall into a street director. Yes, I used to be a landmarker. I'm now a street as I've gotten older. But I used. Have you always been a street? [00:01:20] Speaker A: No. [00:01:20] Speaker B: Okay. [00:01:21] Speaker A: I'm actually, I'm diverse. I'm diverse. I can go, I can go either way. I can go either way. And that's cuz I had, I had jobs where I was driver. Where I was a driver. So like I drove, I drove routes. So like when I used to drive armor trucks, I used to drive armor trucks. We had routes that we went in there. We didn't have GPS. This was like 98. Yeah, no, we didn't have GPS. So I was Thomas guiding try to Thomas Guide San Francisco. I was Thomas guiding all of San Francisco. I learned a map. I learned that. But then I mean I had map training from the military, stuff like that. But I was always street. Make a thing on this street, make a right here, make a left here, make a hood. I we used to map all our ways out. When I started in comedy we didn't have gps. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:02] Speaker A: With Thomas Guide as well. Or we had to go to MapQuest and print it out on the print. [00:02:06] Speaker B: MapQuest. Yeah, I thought MapQuest was the stuff. [00:02:10] Speaker A: But I was still, I could, I, I would prefer I Prefer landmarks in small cities, and I prefer streets in big cities. [00:02:19] Speaker B: Oh, I never thought about it like that. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Landmarks work better in smaller and smaller towns and smaller cities. And street signs work better in bigger towns and bigger cities. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm. I am diverse. [00:02:31] Speaker A: Growing up, it was all landmarks. [00:02:34] Speaker B: Oh. And I. But I. I could give you the most specific landmark I'm talking. It's like, you gonna make a right at McDonald's. The McDonald's has got the logo that's kind of faded, and it's probably not going to have all their letters on the actual display. That Walmart, that McDonald's. Make a right, then you're going to go three street lights. By the second one, get in the left hand lane, but don't get into the far left lane. You want to be in the second to the left. And then when you hit the bank, the Wells Fargo. Well, it was a Wells Fargo, but it's actually a Wachovia Bank. The one that looks kind of run down. Like, I was. That. I wasn't just like, I was specific. Specific about. I was talking about a tree. It was a tree that had something funky on it. [00:03:12] Speaker A: When you said the sign at McDonald's, the one that said like. Like, not now, higher or not hiring. Ow. Because the end was missing. Like. Or there was the fire extinguisher. The fire. The fire hydrant that never turned off was always on. Yeah, was always. He was like, if you see that you don't went too far, you got to come back again. [00:03:31] Speaker B: Landmarks. [00:03:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:32] Speaker B: I was that kid growing up. So it was like, man, I wish he would give me streets. Well, you know what? My landmarks are pretty much a street then probably say, like, middle. Nah, college. I started developing, remembering street names. And it's funny, I started remembering street names when I started realizing I was never also paying attention to what direction I was going. Like, I could. [00:03:55] Speaker A: Like, he's never seen west, north to south. Yeah, yeah. [00:03:58] Speaker B: He tell me, like, start heading eastbound on Franklin. I really. I don't know what that means. [00:04:02] Speaker A: You know what's funny is I get people that tell me that, and they don't even say eastbound. Like, eastbound. [00:04:06] Speaker B: You could be. [00:04:07] Speaker A: You could be making. Okay, I got to get on the eastbound freeway. I hate it when somebody gives me directions, goes, look, go east. This east. Like, not like eastbound or east this way or northeast or south. Like, just. Just go east. Like, So I just start walking towards. [00:04:22] Speaker B: The east and then go east. [00:04:24] Speaker A: Yeah, start going east. And I'm like, I don't even know where I am right now you want me to go east from where I am right now, but yeah, like go east. I, I, yeah, smaller, smaller towns, smaller things. Like, like, okay, landmarks. I use a lot of. If I'm camping. [00:04:38] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:04:39] Speaker A: Camping. [00:04:40] Speaker B: I have to. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Camping. We have to. [00:04:41] Speaker B: That makes sense. [00:04:42] Speaker A: If, if you got a set up someplace and you know they coming out. Hey, listen, when you come this way, you're gonna see a sign next to a dead squirrel. [00:04:49] Speaker B: Yep. [00:04:49] Speaker A: Like you said that that squirrel don't. It wasn't me. He'd been dead. He'd been there for a while, but the sign is right next to him. [00:04:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Camping makes sense. Small town makes sense because you, there are distinct landmarks that also everybody will. [00:05:02] Speaker A: Know or, or like even in the small towns, like the, the street signs will be missing or will be old. [00:05:08] Speaker B: Or won't be there. [00:05:09] Speaker A: So it's like you don't know if that was six, if that was seven. Because like here in, in this, that's one thing I don't like about certain small towns. Like, like, okay, just if I could have one gripe about a city here in Idaho. If I can have one gripe, okay, it's downtown Nampa and I'm gonna tell you why. I don't know how many/7 and 8th streets y' all need in one I, I in one area. [00:05:35] Speaker B: That is true. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Like, I don't mind you having multiple a streets as long as they all ain't next to each other. Yeah. You know they have an 8th street and another 8th street intersecting each other in Nampa. [00:05:44] Speaker B: I do. [00:05:44] Speaker A: How do you. What? What what? [00:05:46] Speaker B: I knew as soon as you said. [00:05:48] Speaker A: I'm the Corner A Street, 8th street and what? [00:05:50] Speaker B: Which one? [00:05:51] Speaker A: 8Th Street? [00:05:52] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:05:52] Speaker A: Because there's a south and there's a, and there's like a west or something. [00:05:56] Speaker B: But I'm like, yeah, they, they got a little too. Because I live in. [00:06:00] Speaker A: All the names you got to pick from. [00:06:02] Speaker B: Somebody was trying to. Yeah, because. Yeah, because you can be on North 8th Street. [00:06:07] Speaker A: Yes. [00:06:07] Speaker B: And be heading east. [00:06:08] Speaker A: Yes. [00:06:09] Speaker B: But then on South 8th street you can be heading north. [00:06:12] Speaker A: Yes. [00:06:12] Speaker B: And it's like you could have just given a different name and. [00:06:15] Speaker A: Yeah. And I think that's when landmarks come in handy. Landmarks come in handy for that. Because then you're just like, yo, if you've seen the sushi place, you need to turn around. Yeah, I'm the street before the sushi place. [00:06:26] Speaker B: Nampa is a good example of landmarks because. Yeah, because if you, yeah. If I tell you 8th and 12th, you I could I could send you. [00:06:34] Speaker A: Like downtown, even the GPS might send you someplace else. I've had my GPS send me to different ones in Napa. Because of the street? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I've had things mailed like I mailed out to has come back to me because this didn't exist or it existed, but it existed in a drive or a place or a street. But it was like, well, all I got was 8th Street. [00:06:58] Speaker B: Yeah. I will say, when I moved out here, I was, I was very confused on how, how many letters you got in an address. Like 1314 North 12th South Ave. [00:07:12] Speaker A: Yes. [00:07:12] Speaker B: How can you be North 12th and South? [00:07:16] Speaker A: What's funny is when you, when you punch that into like coordinates, like on a GPS system or whatever, you should see it come up direct. Bam. Yeah, I, I'm like, I guess that's where it goes. Yeah. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Cause yeah. So if you're just now listening, we both work in radio, so when I'm getting listeners information to mail them something, I gotta send it to him. I am sometimes hesitant because they'll be like, yeah, 1413 North 12th South. [00:07:39] Speaker A: Do you know how many times I have to put it in Google just to make sure that it's a real address? Just to make sure it's a real address? Or if I'm not missing something, I'm not missing a northwest or I'm missing a dot or a drive or an avenue. [00:07:53] Speaker B: I will say I would have never thought that would make a difference because I have sent him stuff and he's like, that address don't exist. I'm like, well, it was Nor. He's like, no, bro, you need to go get. If it's because northwest and north or nothing. [00:08:03] Speaker A: Nothing. So different completely. That's two different necks of the wood when it comes to Napa. [00:08:08] Speaker B: I could be sending them tickets to somebody even never ever called you to win tickets. [00:08:12] Speaker A: And downtown Boise. They ain't no different. [00:08:15] Speaker B: No, they're the same. They're just not as bad. [00:08:17] Speaker A: No, they have, they have more. And they have more name, actual names for streets. [00:08:21] Speaker B: Well, because don't they have. What is it? Streets are north and south and names are east and west. West. Or some might. [00:08:28] Speaker A: It's. It's one or the other. I know it's one or the other. [00:08:30] Speaker B: I love, I love cities that do it that way. Like when I lived in Omaha, because. [00:08:35] Speaker A: It just keeps it easy. Oh, I, I, if somebody says it, you can put it on your head when they say the name and you can actually vision which way the street is going perpendicular or Parallel to the other streets. [00:08:46] Speaker B: Honestly, Omaha is where I started learning to know where north was. Right, Right. Because in Omaha, it's a grid. If it is a. If it's a name, that's east and west. [00:08:57] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:08:58] Speaker B: A number. It's north and south. And also, get this. The higher the number, the more west you're going. Really? Because the airport. So the airport is on the east side of Omaha. So when you're driving, you'll go past second street, third street. [00:09:14] Speaker A: Okay, that makes sense. [00:09:15] Speaker B: And then, like, you can get to 100. [00:09:17] Speaker A: Makes sense. [00:09:17] Speaker B: You can get to 132nd Street. You're now on the west side of Omaha. All right, So I. I love Omaha's grid on. Like, when they. Whoever was doing that, they just. They flat out said, no, if it's a number, it's going this way. If you want a name, that's cool. You going this way. [00:09:33] Speaker A: I mean, and. [00:09:34] Speaker B: And it's not just like, you can be on 1st and the next street is 132nd. No, keep the numerical system going. You want to make the next street after third, guess what you gonna be Fourth street. [00:09:43] Speaker A: Didn't this just happen to y'? [00:09:44] Speaker B: All? [00:09:44] Speaker A: Didn't just happen to you and Zach when y' all was dropping off and y'. [00:09:48] Speaker B: All. [00:09:49] Speaker A: But. But it. [00:09:49] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I put the wrong. I put the. [00:09:52] Speaker A: But it was. But it was the same street name. [00:09:54] Speaker B: Oh, same street name. [00:09:56] Speaker A: And it was just a different. [00:09:57] Speaker B: Whether it was north versus Street. [00:09:59] Speaker A: Yeah. And it was like. And it took you to two different places. [00:10:01] Speaker B: Oh, gosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was. If it was 1, 2, 3. [00:10:06] Speaker A: And I mean, Bellevue. [00:10:08] Speaker B: Bellevue Lane. Yeah, I put in 1, 2, 3. Bellevue Street. And that actually exists? [00:10:14] Speaker A: Yes. [00:10:14] Speaker B: I was actually somebody. We almost went to somebody's house, and I was supposed to go to somebody's. [00:10:19] Speaker A: Business, and, you know. You know, you showed up to that person's house and been knocking on the door, he would have been like, yeah, I got that. That was mine. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Or they would have looked at me stupid. [00:10:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:28] Speaker B: Especially because I was supposed to deliver to a guy. So, like, if a woman would have showed up, I would have been like. That might have been wrong. But if it would have been, a guy would have been like, here you go. [00:10:35] Speaker A: Are you good at taking directions? [00:10:38] Speaker B: Yes. [00:10:38] Speaker A: By landmarks? [00:10:40] Speaker B: Yes, I prefer taking directions by landmark. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Now, hold on now. Before. Hold on. Before you speak. Before you speak, before you answer that, are you. Okay. Are you comfortable with taking. Or are there certain folks that you are comfortable in taking landmark directions from? Because I know at least two of my friends that if they start giving me directions and landmarks, I'm like, no, just give me, just give me the damn street number and name right now. [00:11:07] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. [00:11:09] Speaker A: I have, I have two friends that when they start telling me, they're like, man, you see some dude cutting his yard? Hold up, Cutting his yard? Dude, it's nine o' clock at night. Who would be cutting a yard? You know, it's crazy. When I was driving down there, some was cutting his yard and it was like. But I was like, who's cutting your yard and not. [00:11:23] Speaker B: Who's going to trust that landmark? [00:11:24] Speaker A: Exactly. See that? And that's what it is. It's not that the landmark don't exist. Is that. Does the landmark exist when I get there? [00:11:31] Speaker B: Right? [00:11:32] Speaker A: Like, that's, that's, that's what I'm thinking. [00:11:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Cutting grass, I wouldn't have trust that landmark. [00:11:36] Speaker A: My boy was like, my boy. Yeah, dude. My boy was on it though. He was like, you. You see the dude cutting his grass, then you make a right and you going to make a right to him. He probably gonna be in the middle of the yard too. And I'm like, how you know he gonna be in the middle of the yard? Get across 9 o'. Clock. I look, he in the middle of the yard and I'm like, I gotta turn right after him. This must be the street. Turn right after. Yeah, it wasn't nobody else cutting the yard. And you know what's funny? He knew, you know what? That's what he told me, that because that was part of his directions and his landmarks. And I was like, man, you really used him. He was like, I knew he was gonna be cutting his yard. I knew he was gonna be there. And that's the only dude you're gonna see cutting the yard, dad. And he goes, and everybody else. And this is how he told me, this is why he uses that landmark, he said, because everybody misses that turn. [00:12:17] Speaker B: He says, he says, nobody cutting their ground. [00:12:19] Speaker A: You can't know. And he goes, once you see him cutting, make a right. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Take that, take that right. [00:12:24] Speaker A: Right after him. Right after, like immediately after him. [00:12:26] Speaker B: Yeah. So I will say this. I. I am very particular if. If it is somewhere I have grown up or that I'm currently living, well. [00:12:35] Speaker A: Then you should already know. [00:12:36] Speaker B: Yeah, so, yeah, so like Virginia here. I don't care what you give me. You can give me the street, you can give me the landmark. I got you. [00:12:43] Speaker A: I'm same way. I'm same way. [00:12:44] Speaker B: If I'm in an area I do not know. Yeah, I want street names, preferably. I would want the street name. I don't want the landmark. [00:12:57] Speaker A: I gotta look at the population first. I gotta. I just gotta look at the population first. If the population is under a certain number, I could be like, all right, you can give me landmarks. You give me landmarks all day. Because then I know I'm not going. And if I end up in the, like, you know those cities where you end up in the neighborhood and you like, no, I. I done went too far. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Yeah, because you got those. [00:13:16] Speaker A: You have those neighborhoods that are just outside the city limit. [00:13:19] Speaker B: That's Virginia. That's why it's like, I. I don't care what direction she give me. [00:13:22] Speaker A: Landmarks were good there. That's the one that's like, hey, if you, if you pass old Stevenson's Milkshake Shack, then you went way too far. You need to turn around and come back. And you see, Then you see the Shake Shack and you're like, okay, yeah, no, I gotta come back. [00:13:35] Speaker B: There's a church's chicken in Norfol. You go too far, you better turn around, like, immediately. But I am also. I am somebody. If you're giving me directions, I want the next direction and I want a heads up. I don't want this like, oh, so you want that. [00:13:51] Speaker A: The minute you make that right, be looking on. Be on the lookout for this. [00:13:54] Speaker B: Yes. [00:13:55] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, okay. No, that's fair. [00:13:56] Speaker B: Because I've been in situations. [00:13:58] Speaker A: You make that right turn. Yeah. [00:14:00] Speaker B: And then we drive in. It's like, oh, you're supposed to do that one. Well, motherfucker, why the fuck you say as soon as you're gonna be taking. [00:14:07] Speaker A: You're supposed to be a mind reader at this point. [00:14:08] Speaker B: Yeah, like now. Yeah, if I got a ways to go, then, yeah, you ain't got to tell me like, okay, you're gonna make that right. And we've got a ways to go. Cool. Or don't even say anything. It's like, what are we doing next? Are you gonna be on this for a while? Okay, cool. But don't be like, make it right. Okay. Hey, so where we going? Oh, that was it right there. [00:14:24] Speaker A: I tell you what, I hate, like, today, like, if I was getting directions from people today, my number one pet peeve today, do not give me directions into where to take you. Because you don't want to give me the address. You want to be, oh, just go this way, go this way, go this way. But then you want to be on your phone the whole time, and I'm missing all kind of turns. Oh, oh, I want to chop you in the neck. Yeah. Every single time. I don't like you even gonna just give me. I got gps and you ain't got to say nothing. You can just stay on your phone. But I hate it when it's like, oh, no, I'll make a left. And then. You didn't turn right there. You didn't say to turn right there. [00:15:01] Speaker B: I don't know where. Oh, I hate. I hate that. [00:15:04] Speaker A: I will throw your phone out the window. I will throw your phone out the window. [00:15:07] Speaker B: My wife will tell you when I'm. She does not do that. She gives me great direction. But I will be asking already. She'll be like, all right, we gonna turn her. I'd be like. And then she'll look and be like, I'm getting there. I'm like, okay, I'm just checking, just making sure. But she'll be like, you gonna turn here? And then it looks like you gonna have, like, a couple of miles to go. Cool. Got that? [00:15:25] Speaker A: I don't. [00:15:26] Speaker B: As soon as I turn, I ain't gotta be doing this turn. Get over. [00:15:29] Speaker A: Get another one. [00:15:31] Speaker B: I gotta be the aggressive driver, because I'm gonna miss a turn. And then somebody's like, tweety's an aggressive driver. Well, if you would have told me I gotta make an immediate left after my right. [00:15:39] Speaker A: Yes. [00:15:40] Speaker B: I wouldn't have had to go into city mode and get over. [00:15:43] Speaker A: You got everybody on this side yelling at you, and it's on your side of the door. I don't mind. If I could put them on their side of the door. [00:15:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:49] Speaker A: Like, if I. If I make that. If I make that left, But I gotta get all the way over to right. And that's cause of him. Then I'm like, yeah, all these people yelling. They go yell at you. I'm going to make sure your window is next to them. Nah, I hate the one going to the left, because then I got to look at it. When I look over to the left. [00:16:02] Speaker B: I can get it done. I'm going to get over if I got to, but I don't want to if I ain't got to. [00:16:06] Speaker A: Unless you wildbeard, then you on the other side of the car. [00:16:08] Speaker B: True. Then you are. But yeah. I. Directions. It's. It's crazy. I. When I got here, first thing, I asked my wife and then every person that I talked to, just to get confirmation, I was like, where's north? I. And they're like, yup. It's that one. It's that one. It's that one. Okay, cool. Well, what's that? Well, you can tell that's always east because that's Bogus Basin. Got it. East is bogus. Then I can go for like I have. I now have to know. [00:16:30] Speaker A: Yeah. And I don't know why. [00:16:32] Speaker B: Like I, it ain't like, like if I get stranded I'm just gonna start walking east or west. But for some reason I gotta know north and south, I think because I. Then I know why I just realized it. Because I hate people that say go west and west is that way. [00:16:46] Speaker A: Actually that's why I don't trust nobody that. Tell me just one word. One word. Directions. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Go east. [00:16:51] Speaker A: Go east. Go north. What did. From here, from here first. Right here. [00:16:55] Speaker B: Cuz literally where we are sitting, south is that way. For me, like I know in this building the street is parked right here. [00:17:04] Speaker A: Yes. [00:17:04] Speaker B: So north is behind. [00:17:05] Speaker A: Yes. And north district that way. South is that way. West is that way, east is that way. [00:17:10] Speaker B: And like for you to point. It's funny when you, when you point it, you was actually pointing the right way when you said head east. I think without you knowing, joking. But I'm that person. It's like he just pointed. But that is not east. [00:17:23] Speaker A: No. [00:17:23] Speaker B: So yeah. So then I immediately start losing my trust. [00:17:26] Speaker A: If I'm in, if I'm out, if I'm out in the woods, I know where it's at. If I'm out by myself, I know where it's at. But I just do that by the sun. Yeah, I do that by the sun all the time. I know which way is praise. [00:17:36] Speaker B: The sun rises in the east and it sets in the west. Very simple. I do that everywhere. I do that when I'm on a plane. I wake up like what a sun at? [00:17:43] Speaker A: So if it's going this way, then that's north. [00:17:46] Speaker B: Yo, I do the same thing. Yeah, directions is crazy. Which by the way, get in the comments. If you are landmark or direct or streets or are you thc ambidextrous. [00:17:57] Speaker A: You know what it is? I think most people nowadays, they just plug it in their phone and just say fuck it. [00:18:03] Speaker B: Ooh. This is a question for you. When you go somewhere and you're plugging it in, are you solely just GPSing? [00:18:11] Speaker A: Nope, I gotta hear the words. [00:18:14] Speaker B: So not only that, but I'm also paying attention. Like where I'm going when I'm driving. [00:18:19] Speaker A: Yes. [00:18:19] Speaker B: So there are some people who will drive and it's like so, so no there's more people. What was out there doing? There's more people. [00:18:25] Speaker A: There's more people that will stare at the screen. I'm not a screen stare. [00:18:29] Speaker B: No, me either. [00:18:30] Speaker A: I, I, that's why I put the volume on. I want to hear, you know, in, in 1.9 miles, you're going to make a right. When coming up right now, you're going, you're going to make a right. If I look at the screen, it's just to make sure that I'm, I'm make, I'm, I'm following the colored route that, that I'm, it's like, it's like red or, I think it's like red or it's blue or something like that. It turns, it turns my route red or blue. So I'm, I'm following which colored route that I'm going to make sure that I'm not supposed to make a right turn up a little bit more because I've had that before where I thought I was supposed to turn right. Not yet. [00:19:00] Speaker B: GPS makers, this is totally sidetracking a little bit. I do need y' all to do a better job of giving me an advance when I do got to make that immediate right or left following the. [00:19:11] Speaker A: Turn or, or, or immediately right after the right turn that I think I'm going to turn. [00:19:16] Speaker B: Yes. [00:19:17] Speaker A: Because there'll be like a little right, little kind of stay to the right, but go stay a little bit to the left. [00:19:21] Speaker B: And they do, they do a great job. They do a great job of warning you. But once I get within the, once I get under the mile, I don't hear it until it's time to turn. I want the 500, 100 meter, please. [00:19:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And you need, like when I, when I drove up from my, from my grandfather's funeral and I went up there like, and I got to the Tacoma, Seattle areas. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:39] Speaker A: You know, and I was in those areas. Like now there's a lot of interchanges and a lot of stuff in between because you got Yakima, you got the Tri Cities, you got all these different places that are up there. So all the different freeways. So I noticed that take one wrong. Oh yeah. [00:19:52] Speaker B: There ain't no quick exit. [00:19:53] Speaker A: No. You gotta go all the way down, come all the way back up again. And that happened to me once because I was going off of what I was looking at. So then I switched it and just kept my eyes front and just listened to what the person was, was saying. [00:20:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:06] Speaker A: And I, and I had no problem. [00:20:07] Speaker B: Yeah, had no problem I need, I need more. I would rather have multiple verbiage under a mile than to be towed or. [00:20:17] Speaker A: To follow a picture. Yeah, yeah. [00:20:19] Speaker B: Cause for me it's like, okay, I like after I turn, it's like, you're gonna stay on this road for five miles. [00:20:23] Speaker A: Especially being told by that dude holding his phone. [00:20:25] Speaker B: I love, I love that. And then I love when I get to the in a mile, but then it's ghost time until it's time to turn. No, I want a. At the mile in 500, 300, maybe that's just me. I want that. So I know because I don't look at the screen. [00:20:41] Speaker A: Right, right, right. [00:20:42] Speaker B: Instead they're like, you got a mile. I, I hate to tell you, I can't really distance a mile. [00:20:46] Speaker A: You know what's funny is I make my landmarks when I make my turns. Like, I'll find something. I'll be like, okay, tree with broken branch. Or I'll be like, sign with, with this saying on it. And then I'll be like, I know I gotta turn right at it, or right, but I'll start building landmarks instantly. [00:21:01] Speaker B: And the other thing I do is my wife hates it. Especially when we're somewhere new. I will get directions there and then I will try to get back. By yourself? [00:21:10] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the only way you can find it? Truly. Yeah. [00:21:13] Speaker B: Like, well, for me, I feel like I just, if I do get stuck, I can at least find how to get, get back to main road or civilization. [00:21:22] Speaker A: Before my brother in law, Chubby, before he passed away, he used to do this thing and he used to always tell me that, like every place that I've lived, I lived in a lot of places growing up. And even as an adults, I've lived in a lot of states, a lot of cities. He used to tell me, he said the first thing you got to do when you move to your new place is get in your car and go get lost. Yep, just go get lost until you feel like you really lost and then find every way back to your house without you knowing. That way you learn every single road that's in your neighborhood. [00:21:50] Speaker B: Yep. That's what me and my. [00:21:51] Speaker A: I still do that to this day. [00:21:52] Speaker B: Me and my roommate in Omaha, when we first moved out there. [00:21:55] Speaker A: That way, you know every back road, every corner, every little thing you need to. [00:22:00] Speaker B: Yep. We drove GPS to the apartment place we was gonna go look at, signed the lease that day. And then we just some way somehow got back on the freeway, started heading west, and then just took a random Exit. Yep. And then just started turning and turning and turning. And then it was like, all right, how can we get back to the apartment? [00:22:22] Speaker A: Yep. And it's like, ugh, even if it takes a while. [00:22:24] Speaker B: So what? Yeah, but we both, we were like, well, we were like somebody, somebody kept saying like and like, like street. Like, like numbers are north and south. So we're like, okay, so if that's north, we got to get back over there. So let's just go that way. [00:22:37] Speaker A: My, When I asked, my, when I asked my brother in law, when I asked him, I said, chubby, I said, hey, why would I need to know this information? He said, you don't know who you're driving with. He said, you might be in the car with somebody and you need to bounce. And if, and if they just driving someplace, but it's still in the same area. If you jump out that car, you know exactly which way to go and exactly which way you can, you can look and be like, oh, there go that landmark. I'm. I'm going this way. [00:22:59] Speaker B: That is exact. Yeah, you, me and your brother in law. I think the same. Like, if I, if I had to bounce, can I, can I get back to where I remotely could? [00:23:08] Speaker A: Man, he, he taught, he taught me a lot, man. I miss him a lot. He taught me. [00:23:12] Speaker B: Yeah. As a kid. I, I don't ever want to be lost or be dependent on something or someone. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Someone. Getting you unlocked. [00:23:20] Speaker B: Yes. [00:23:21] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah. Oh, that's spooky. Yeah, we, we, we. Relying on somebody to get me unlossed is scarier than me just being lost by myself. [00:23:30] Speaker B: Nope, I, I will. [00:23:32] Speaker A: No, that's, that's that. And that goes back to the same dude that's telling me. The dude that's telling me by looking on his phone like, I don't want to be lost with him. No, I don't want to be going anywhere with him. You know what else he is, he's guilty of too? That, that's just pet peeve of mine. In the car. He's the one that always turns my stereo down because he got something to say. He's always leaning over and turning it down. And then, you know, I was sitting there and then turning it up and it's like, dude, first of all, that's my stereo. Yeah, I'm sorry if I can't hear what you said. Sit back, Mr. Passenger. [00:24:03] Speaker B: Relax. [00:24:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, why are you controlling my stereo? Yeah, who are you? [00:24:08] Speaker B: Yeah, that's where even. Gosh, that's crazy. I remember growing up just the. I Guess you call it the non written rule of like giving directions. I was always a patter. If I was the passenger. I'm patting you to say, hey, turn, it's coming up. Or I'm getting ready to tell you something. So he's listening. [00:24:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:26] Speaker B: I don't ever touch. [00:24:28] Speaker A: I used to get my fingers broke touching this radio. [00:24:30] Speaker B: I barely touched my wife's freaking stereo. When I'm in the passage. It's rude. [00:24:35] Speaker A: It's rude because you're taking away the comfort of which the person who is driving. Yeah. Away from them. [00:24:40] Speaker B: I'm in more shock when she's like, hey, can you, can you, can you turn that down? Or she's like, hey, can you put in the gps? Cause obviously she's got the touchscreen now. I'm like, in shock. I'm like, you want me to do that? Because I just grew up that way of like, I'm the passenger like you. This is your control. She's giving me the permission. I don't need it. But I'm always like, in shock. Like, oh, snap. [00:25:01] Speaker A: She. I knew a comedian that used to drive because we used to always, in order to get from city to city to do different rooms, we would carpool with each other. I knew a comedian wouldn't talk to nobody while he drove. Wouldn't say a word to none of us. He would ask in the very beginning, before he got in, before he buckled that seat belt, where are we going? Before he did all that, where are we going? What, what, what? Where are we? [00:25:21] Speaker B: Blah, blah, blah. [00:25:21] Speaker A: And we let him know. He'd be like, okay, I know where that's at. I know what I'm doing. Click, boom. You try to talk to him. He wouldn't say to you nothing. Don't talk to him. Don't do nothing. Don't mess up his train of thought right now. Don't, don't do that. Don't get in the middle of it. Don't, don't try to tell him anything. Like, you couldn't be that dude that was sitting there looking at your phone and trying to give him direction no more. You was already cut off. It was like he pulled an invisible shield. You don't like how a limo. Well, you know like how a limo driver. [00:25:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:48] Speaker A: He just roll up that window. [00:25:49] Speaker B: It was like that. [00:25:49] Speaker A: But he, he drove. [00:25:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:51] Speaker A: And he, he gave everybody rides. So it was like, he knows where we're going. [00:25:55] Speaker B: So my wife would tell you. And you know me, I love talking when I'm in a new place and somebody's driving me. I am quiet as a mouse. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Unless. Unless they engage. [00:26:08] Speaker B: Unless they engage. But I'm also sure. I'm like. My wife is shocked because I'm like, if you ask me, how's your day? Good. So where you coming from? Idaho. [00:26:18] Speaker A: I noticed that when you rode with me. When you ride with me, cruise, cruise. [00:26:24] Speaker B: My wife will look at me like. Like have a conversation like, nope. Cause I'm not. I am not gonna be lost. You are not gonna get me sidetracked, bro. [00:26:33] Speaker A: Especially, like, if you on a cruise. You in a place where. Yeah. You wanna make sure you got directions. [00:26:38] Speaker B: Oh, bro. I. So my wife, luckily, she will be the talker. Because she knows I'm the one that if we gotta. If I gotta handle my business and we gotta bounce, I'm taking care of that fool. And then you need to follow me. Cause I know where we're at. [00:26:52] Speaker A: Right, right, right. [00:26:52] Speaker B: But yeah, it's. It's so funny though. Cause my wife, she called me out. She was like, you don't like talking when somebody else is driving? [00:26:58] Speaker A: I'm like, yeah, I do. [00:26:59] Speaker B: She's like, how was the conversation with our driver? [00:27:02] Speaker A: I was like, it was fine. [00:27:02] Speaker B: She was like, it was not. You literally said one word per question. I was like, no, I didn't. She was like, he asked you, how are you? You said, fine. He said, where are we from? You said Idaho. You didn't even say American. You just said Idaho. [00:27:18] Speaker A: Let's get it. [00:27:18] Speaker B: You did not. I'm like, yeah, I guess that is true. Cause yeah, I don't want to be lost. [00:27:22] Speaker A: You know what's funny though? As I still to this day, like, if I'm in other states where I'm performing at and people ask me where I'm from, I always say Idaho. I never say, like, I'm from Boise or any place like that. Because I'm afraid that if I say any of these, like, if I say I'm from Caldwell, ain't nobody outside of Idaho going to know. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. [00:27:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, that's why I say, because I live in Nampa. I say Boise, because I know that's. But my wife knows if I don't give you Boise. [00:27:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:47] Speaker B: I'm 100% sure I'm starting Caldwell. [00:27:50] Speaker A: I'm. I'm g. Start saying, I'm going. Start saying Parma. They going to be like, where you from? Notice dog. I'm from Notice Kuna. [00:27:57] Speaker B: But you know what? Got to be careful. Because if you find somebody that is not a hoen. Then you stuck in a deep conversation. You better be. [00:28:06] Speaker A: If I tell him I'm from Parma. Parma. I don't. You kidding me? [00:28:11] Speaker B: Yeah, you go. You got to be. You got to tiptoe that line kind of carefully, dog. You going. You going. [00:28:16] Speaker A: Well, you got to be a good judge of character. You got to got. If you. I'm a pretty good judge of character. [00:28:20] Speaker B: I'm just saying though, if you trying to get my little conversation and you like, I'm from Palmer. They were like, no shit. [00:28:26] Speaker A: I got my. Talking about Palmer by mountain home. [00:28:28] Speaker B: You're going to be like, damn it. I should. I should have just said Idaho. [00:28:31] Speaker A: I should have just. [00:28:33] Speaker B: I'm calling it. Give your next. Oh, yeah, by the way, we going to be out in North Dakota. [00:28:38] Speaker A: North Dakota. [00:28:39] Speaker B: March. [00:28:40] Speaker A: March. [00:28:40] Speaker B: That's your next gig. [00:28:41] Speaker A: March 14th. [00:28:41] Speaker B: Yep. You don't got one locally in between. And you don't got to go up to Sun Valley. [00:28:45] Speaker A: Nope, not yet. Not yet. [00:28:47] Speaker B: Maybe not the next time. The next gig after March. I guarantee you're gonna get caught by just saying Parma, son. [00:28:53] Speaker A: Yeah, some valley. Well, some valley. Right now. I think they want me back before the end of the year, but. Because they tried to get me last. [00:29:00] Speaker B: Year and they didn't. I thought they got you last year. [00:29:02] Speaker A: No, they got me the year before. It was like right at the very beginning. It was. It was the very beginning of last year. It was like January, January, February. [00:29:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:29:11] Speaker A: And they wanted me to come back. [00:29:12] Speaker B: Slip up. [00:29:13] Speaker A: They wanted me to come back at the end of the year. And then they was like, no, the book, I thought that was too close. That's why he's gonna have me come back again. [00:29:21] Speaker B: But they're waiting. [00:29:22] Speaker A: They're waiting for me up that way. [00:29:23] Speaker B: I gotta treat you like camping out here. You need a six month window. [00:29:26] Speaker A: I had so much fun up there. I had so much fun being old. Now being old in the comedian is great. It's great because now I don't gotta have no filter if I hurt your feelings. Shut up. [00:29:36] Speaker B: I'm crazy, though. But that's not like your second probably greatest asset is the truth, the no filter, you know? [00:29:42] Speaker A: And I'm gonna tell you something. Ever since I said that to keep the. No, no. All that stuff for the New Year's, for our New Year, it's still going, man. And I just told y' all the story that happened. I. My, I have a service dog, and my service dog is Koki. He's a Australian shepherd and he's actually. [00:29:59] Speaker B: In here right now he's. [00:30:00] Speaker A: He's in here right now. You guys would never know that. My dog's in here with me. He's. He's a very quiet, very trained dog, but he actually sleeps. He's sleeping right now. That's. That's how good he trained. So. So, like. Like, I. I'm always like, I'm always. I'm. I'm. I'm always tolerant and my tolerance level is getting like. Like, it really is. It really is. It really is. My. My cup has overrunneth full or whatever they say, all right. Over filth, whatever it is. [00:30:30] Speaker B: THC. [00:30:31] Speaker A: Yeah, THC overrun. [00:30:33] Speaker B: 18Th century. [00:30:34] Speaker A: Overrent. It's just full. Was full. So I'm. I'm sitting, man. I'm sitting. I'm sitting in the store. I got my dog with me. My dog is a service animal. So my dog wears a vest, and it says, do not touch working. Cuz when he's working and he's with me, he is. He has to pay attention to being able to. To not be distracted when we're in. [00:30:52] Speaker B: Stores, things like that, what he's supposed to do. [00:30:54] Speaker A: So he's sitting down right next to me. Vest on. Signs are out. Don't touch none. All of this stuff is there on his vest. Now I have had many people have walk up to me and been like, hey, can I pet your dog? Can I talk to your dog? And I'm just like, no, he's working right now. And I always have to go through this whole speech just because they can't read the sign on his vest. [00:31:14] Speaker B: Not 2026. THC, brah. [00:31:17] Speaker A: I watched this little girl, she might have been 8 or 9, and she was knocking off of shelves. The dad was trying to get her controlled. She was on the end of the aisle. I didn't want to be in the aisle, but I had to because what I was getting was in the middle of the aisle. So I'm standing there with. With my dog. My dog is standing next to me, and he's sitting there with his vest on. This little girl is not listening. Her dad's trying to get her under control, but she's not even listening to her dad. So then I hear all the way on the end of the aisle, oh, a puppy. And I'm like, damn it, here we go. Comes walking up. And I don't know if it's just some snap. I don't know what it is. [00:31:49] Speaker B: Show 2026 resolution. [00:31:51] Speaker A: Some snap. But it's snap. Like there was something in the back of my head going no, Come on, Sean, be nice, be nice, be nice. And I'm thinking to myself, there's another one that's louder that said, if you nice, how they gonna learn? [00:32:03] Speaker B: That's 20, 26 resolution, Sean, right there. [00:32:06] Speaker A: So I turned that little girl said, can I pet your dog? And I said, I am so sorry that nobody taught you how to read. [00:32:13] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:32:15] Speaker A: The dad heard me. And the dad was like, well, I'm sorry, sir. She just knows. She just wanted to pet your dog. And I said, well, now I can see who didn't teach her how to read. I was done. I was done. He just. He grabbed and he just kind of looked at me and grabbed his little girl. Yeah, walk away. [00:32:32] Speaker B: Bye. [00:32:32] Speaker A: Like, I don't. My. My bro. I don't know where it came from, but it just came out. And you want to know something? Deep down. Good. It felt so good. [00:32:48] Speaker B: I would. I would be. [00:32:49] Speaker A: I would be. [00:32:49] Speaker B: Not a percentage of remorse. [00:32:51] Speaker A: No. Oh, yeah, of course, of course, of course. There was a part of me that's like, dude, you had to be that mean. You had to do that. But I would be lying to you if I told you. [00:33:00] Speaker B: Or I guess, sorry, I'd be bullshitting. [00:33:02] Speaker A: You if I told you that there wasn't a little piece of me. [00:33:03] Speaker B: Yeah, sorry. I would say there was a percentage that actually felt, oh, yeah, there was. [00:33:07] Speaker A: A percentage that was doing jumping jacks. [00:33:08] Speaker B: Yeah. There was no, like, no big remorse. Like I could have done it. No. [00:33:12] Speaker A: I mean, there was that little one that was in the back, like, come on. It was just a little nine year old girl that wasn't listening to her dad, that didn't think that she needed to listen to any authority figures. So she was already being led. I was raised. It takes a village to raise a child. That's how I was taught. [00:33:26] Speaker B: You know what? She. She was already. I guarantee you, I guarantee you, she. [00:33:30] Speaker A: Reading every single dog vest that she come across. Now, that's true. And I bet you she's like, oops, nope. [00:33:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:37] Speaker A: Or don't touch. [00:33:38] Speaker B: Probably goes to dad and say, there's a dog. [00:33:40] Speaker A: I bet you her dad is telling her, is telling me just, you know, you know, out of the blue, you know, just like, hey, man, thank you for teaching my daughter that lesson. [00:33:48] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:33:48] Speaker A: Because that means you had to be the mean person and I didn't have to be the mean person. And if that's what it's got to take, that's what it takes. [00:33:55] Speaker B: Well, watch out, y'. All. THC his 20, 26 resolution, by the way, was he's not putting up with bullshit. In case. I don't know how many episodes that was ago. Maybe like four or five. Just. Just go back to New Year's if you want to watch that one because it was very. We wasn't ready. But it sounds like he is sticking to it. [00:34:11] Speaker A: Sticking to it. I'm sticking to this resolution. [00:34:13] Speaker B: I'm proud of happening. Cause National Quitters Day was a couple of weeks ago and most people quit on their New Year's resolution. Sounds like you ain't doing that. [00:34:20] Speaker A: Nope. [00:34:20] Speaker B: So good on you. [00:34:21] Speaker A: That's why I picked a good one. I picked one I know is gonna. [00:34:24] Speaker B: Keep me fired up for the year. Keep checking back in on THC with his New Year's resolution. Get in the comments. What are we talking about? [00:34:31] Speaker A: What do you mean? [00:34:32] Speaker B: I forgot our topic. I was gonna tell them to get in the comments and I done blew a brain fart. On what? We were just having a conversation, bro. [00:34:38] Speaker A: Why you just do that to me right now?
