[00:00:00] Speaker A: I just get in my truck and boom, I'm off. I'm off. Got the boat hooked up in the back. Where's P at? I don't know. Can't reach him. He's out of signal.
[00:00:07] Speaker B: You are a wanderer.
[00:00:08] Speaker A: I am. I wonder. That's what I'm saying is like. And I don't want restrictions to be on my wandering.
[00:00:16] Speaker B: 20 in the city.
[00:00:17] Speaker A: Aloha.
[00:00:19] Speaker B: Here's what I got for you, thc.
[00:00:20] Speaker A: What you got?
[00:00:22] Speaker B: Buying or leasing? What's the best solution?
[00:00:24] Speaker A: Buying for everything. Everything.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: I don't think so.
[00:00:28] Speaker A: I do.
Really?
[00:00:30] Speaker B: Yep. All right.
[00:00:30] Speaker A: Well, starting you was going to hit me with this. I knew you was.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: I used to.
[00:00:34] Speaker A: Right off the bat. Right out the bat. Because we already. We already talked about this.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: We did. And this is why I had to bring it up.
[00:00:39] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:00:40] Speaker B: All right. We'll start with the easy one.
[00:00:41] Speaker A: House. Oh, by bye bye bye bye bye. Why Lease. No, that's mine. I want mine.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: See?
[00:00:47] Speaker A: Property.
[00:00:48] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:00:49] Speaker C: Full in cash, if I could.
[00:00:51] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:00:52] Speaker C: Or you mean like renting? Because like how do you lease a house? Because isn't a loan.
[00:00:56] Speaker B: It's a more. It's a loan. But you eventually are trying to buy. Whereas you could just rent that bad boy for the whole duration.
[00:01:02] Speaker A: Baby. No. My mind from the gate.
[00:01:05] Speaker B: Even this day. Okay. I believe you. And not least. And now I'm buying thousands. I am too.
[00:01:11] Speaker A: So.
[00:01:12] Speaker B: But there's occasions.
[00:01:13] Speaker A: There's your answer.
[00:01:14] Speaker B: There's a case.
[00:01:15] Speaker C: So you're saying a mortgage counts as a buy.
[00:01:17] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Because you eventually will be there.
[00:01:19] Speaker A: Because at the end of this.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:20] Speaker A: It's mine.
[00:01:21] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[00:01:23] Speaker A: At the end of a lease, it ain't mine.
[00:01:24] Speaker B: I'm Twitty. That's THC on the microphone or I guess over the overhead speaker.
[00:01:30] Speaker A: Right, right. Producer Sean or wherever you are watching us from. Wherever you watching us from, that's producer.
[00:01:35] Speaker B: Sean that you hear. They're probably like. Who is that third voice we can't hear?
[00:01:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Sean's coming in here.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: We're talking mortgage versus renting.
[00:01:41] Speaker A: Basically no mortgage.
[00:01:42] Speaker B: Way better. So there ain't never been a moment where currently with your house or a house you've been working towards. You ever thought it'd be nice to rent? Because in any major issues it's not in your hands.
[00:01:55] Speaker A: No, because my payments can just go up. Like my rents can. Can always keep going up. Going up. My mortgage going to stay where my mortgage is going to stay.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: That's true. At what? But at what Price is not too much up to have no responsibility.
[00:02:06] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying is that I don't get to. I don't get to pick that. That's what I'm saying is that. That just happens wherever my. My living is. When the cost of living goes up, the rent goes up, everything goes up. Right? I don't get to pick that.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: You don't.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: So that's why I'm like, now I'd rather be locked in my price.
[00:02:21] Speaker B: Okay, you are locked in for advice.
[00:02:23] Speaker A: That's mine.
[00:02:24] Speaker B: But there's still apr. There's still. Don't matter.
[00:02:27] Speaker A: It don't matter, though. But see, but it's. It's when you start telling me things like that, you're giving me values of like, okay, there's still options to buy or to let go when the other side is that when I buy my house, it's my house. That's mine.
[00:02:39] Speaker B: Mine. Yeah. Okay. All right.
[00:02:41] Speaker A: I still might have my hoa, but. Yeah, yeah, hoa.
[00:02:45] Speaker B: That's a you thing.
[00:02:46] Speaker A: But you know what, though? Hey, every time I take my dog to the park, there's always bags and stuff in there that little trash cans always.
[00:02:51] Speaker B: So you're getting that little refund.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I mean, they. My HOA is pretty cool. They. They do a lot of upgrades. Like, they do a lot of things. They watch our art. They. There's a lot of stuff that happens in our neighborhood that they keep.
I actually, I know a lot of people have, like.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: There's some HOAs that are.
[00:03:07] Speaker A: There's some disasters, but my. My. My HOA is pretty dope.
[00:03:10] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:03:11] Speaker A: I'm. I'm happy with them.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: Buy or lease car?
[00:03:13] Speaker A: Oh, buy.
Buy what?
[00:03:17] Speaker B: The value of the car is holding the moment.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Okay, okay.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Think about that now, Tupac.
[00:03:24] Speaker A: The reason why I'm saying it is because I. I'm a particular shopper in vehicles. You know how particular I am in my vehicles. So usually, what I'm going to go put my money into, I'm. I'm putting my money into something that I'm keeping.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: Yes, for sure.
[00:03:36] Speaker A: For sure. So, like, maybe if it was like, something I knew I wasn't going to keep or something like that. Yeah, I might lease a car, but I can't.
[00:03:45] Speaker B: I'm not going to let you.
What's that word? What's that phrase called? I'm not going to let you dangle over both sides of the fence. We're talking in general, if you were going to more times than not buy or lease a vehicle, buy for you, for your kids, for your grandkids. By.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: Because I mean, it's. It's already out of the way. It's already in the thing. Like, you. You already own it. Even if I was to go, like, take your monthly. Take your monthly payments that they have. Like, tell me what monthly payment I'm going to get nowadays. Am I going to get anything? Yeah. Am I going to get anything lower than 400?
[00:04:17] Speaker B: As far as when you buy. Yes.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: No.
[00:04:19] Speaker B: No.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: As far as when I lease.
[00:04:20] Speaker B: When you lease, you can get some. You can get four or less.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: Okay, and what would that be? Like 345, 350.
[00:04:27] Speaker B: You could probably get a. You could probably get a low three. You get a three, 320.
[00:04:31] Speaker A: If it was a car that I didn't believe in. And I just had to get that car. Maybe. Because then I'm just like, I'm gonna give it back when the leases. The one thing I don't like about the lease is the mileage. That's what gets me every mileage. The mileage is. It pisses me off because, like, if I do have something nice, but I'm close to my mileage, I can't even take it on a nice trip somewhere. Cause I gotta stay below that mileage or on it.
[00:04:51] Speaker B: Yeah, but you shouldn't have to be going nowhere super nice all the time. So I just had.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: Well, not all the time, but I got a lot of family members in a lot of different states.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: Yeah. So you could do a good. You could do one good travel a month for how close you live to where we work.
[00:05:07] Speaker A: No, that's.
[00:05:08] Speaker B: You wouldn't hit that mileage, that lot now if you lived here and had to freaking drive to, like, Mountain Home or Weezer every day.
[00:05:15] Speaker A: Every day.
[00:05:15] Speaker B: Yeah. The leasing game ain't for you. Because I just had, so I think the average lease.
[00:05:22] Speaker A: But I mean, also, you know, I like to wander, man. You know, I like to just get in my truck, you know, I do. I just get in my truck and boom, I'm off. I'm off. Got the boat hooked up in the back. Where's P. At? I don't know. Can't reach him. He's out of signal.
[00:05:34] Speaker B: You are a wanderer.
[00:05:35] Speaker A: I am. I wonder. That's what I'm saying is, like. And I don't want restrictions to be on my wandering.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: So that's why you. You want to buy.
[00:05:42] Speaker A: It's the mileage. Yeah. If you're talking cars. If you're talking cars, I Feel like I'm being restricted by mileage because now, cause you're telling me this is how far you can like it.
[00:05:53] Speaker B: That is true.
[00:05:53] Speaker A: It is. And I'm like, I don't like that. Like I like being like, I, my car has a name, my truck has a name. But like I, I, I believe in my car.
[00:06:02] Speaker B: The truth came out, ladies and gentlemen. My man said I like to, I like to wander. I do know you are the guy that will freaking show up on a Friday. Just be like, you know what, I'm taking the boat.
[00:06:11] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:06:11] Speaker B: I'm like, where you going? I'll be like, I don't know.
[00:06:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I have, I am known to go out and be like, where does this road go to?
I don't know. Here I go.
[00:06:21] Speaker B: You don't want to be on that road. You just got to stop because it's like I'm at mile 147. Yeah, that was going to take to my 200 miles to get back, even get my truck.
[00:06:30] Speaker A: I can't even get my boat back because I don't want to go over the mileage on my lease.
[00:06:34] Speaker B: Now I could see you to be.
[00:06:35] Speaker A: I mean there are a lot of advantages to lease and I do get it. Like I do know you can get out of that, get into a newer one and then get out of the older one. I mean I, all of that is fantastic. Like I get that it's just the mileage portion of that lease that does that. Like the mileage portion of leasing the car is what gets me. It's like, don't restrict me on how much I can love my car or love doing stuff in my car.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: Let's cuss, let's see if, if you could up it. Cuz I think the average they put on it is like 1200.
If you could up it, would that change? No. Like if you could up it to like 1800.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: No, because you're still telling me there's a point where you have to say no, you have to stop liking your car.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: Where the hell are you going in a month that's over 8. I don't think even, I think even when you take the boat every week.
[00:07:18] Speaker A: I'm a stand up comedian, I travel, I do stuff. So I just, I know routes and places to go to different cities and I will just go, I just up and go down to Nevada. I will just up and go to Seattle. Yeah, I will just up and go to la. Like I, I, I'll do that.
[00:07:32] Speaker B: Okay. Maybe a car and if I really like It.
[00:07:35] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. Leasing a car, not for me. I keep forgetting I want to enjoy my car.
[00:07:40] Speaker B: And you like to. You like to drive places when you do your stand up. You don't like to fly.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: Nope.
[00:07:44] Speaker B: It would probably. Yeah, you aren't. You aren't that type of person. You aren't that type person. Nope.
[00:07:49] Speaker A: I get to see more. I get to see my. I get to see my country when I'm going.
[00:07:52] Speaker B: Buyer leasing. I know you could do this nowadays. Buyer leasing appliances.
[00:07:57] Speaker A: Yes, I have done that.
I have done.
[00:08:01] Speaker B: So you are. So you're the man that will buy the house? Yes. Buy the car.
[00:08:05] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: But you will lease the appliance.
[00:08:08] Speaker A: Well, at least to own.
[00:08:10] Speaker B: Or you could do that with a car then.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: Or, Or, I mean, well, like, when I'm buying it, I'm paying, I'm making payments on it, and then I own it at the end.
[00:08:18] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:08:18] Speaker A: So that is. That's not leasing. Right. That means I'd have to give it back.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: Right. So no, you can lease appliances. And, like, I'm.
[00:08:25] Speaker A: I'm paying to buy. Like, I'll go to, like, you know, like, I. That's where I got my washer and dryer from. That's where I got my refrigerator from. That's where I got my couch from. Like, I'm. I not a rich man. I don't have, you know, bookers of dollars just laying around.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: Neither do I.
[00:08:38] Speaker A: So I'll go to a place and be like, okay, I can get this couch for, you know, 60 bucks a month.
[00:08:43] Speaker B: That's why I. I'm on the leasing train. Just because I don't have.
[00:08:46] Speaker A: But I mean, I don't really look at that as leasing because there's an end to it, right? Like, there's an end to it. When you get done with your year or whatever it is and you're done with that, then it's yours. You don't have to go give it back. You own it.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: No, not when you come. Not to come up with these. No appliances.
You can, like, lease.
[00:09:04] Speaker A: When you say appliances. See, now I'm looking at, like, you know, washer, dryers, refrigerators, stuff like that. Or are you looking at, like, blenders? And are you talking, like, appliances? Like you talking about rice cookers?
[00:09:14] Speaker B: I'm talking the big appliances. The washing dryer, the washer and dryer.
[00:09:17] Speaker A: The dishwashers and stuff like that.
[00:09:19] Speaker B: The stove.
[00:09:20] Speaker A: If I can get on a payment plan so that I can own it, I'll take that. But I don't I don't consider that at least, because at the end of my payments, I'm. That's mine.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, maybe that's not. But I'm going to get back to you on the house part because I think.
I think if you are in this day and age.
[00:09:37] Speaker A: Huh?
[00:09:37] Speaker B: How'd you.
[00:09:38] Speaker A: Hey, Shonda, all I did was figure it out.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: We're not cutting that out, by the way.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: Right out.
[00:09:52] Speaker B: One year in and now we breaking stuff.
[00:09:55] Speaker A: There it goes.
[00:09:56] Speaker B: Did you lock it? Now, this is how, you know, we do this live shot. I hope you got it on THC's camera right now. I want to see Mr. Handyman.
[00:10:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:06] Speaker B: Can you get it?
You are Mr. Handyman. You say you can fix everything he did with that? If Sean would have had to come here. You got it, Sean?
[00:10:18] Speaker A: Nope.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: You good, Sean?
[00:10:19] Speaker A: We good.
We good. 100.
[00:10:23] Speaker B: I've never seen that, bro.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: Dog. All I did was move it towards me, and they said, okay, that's all right, though. It's ready for the next one. That's what I'm talking about.
[00:10:32] Speaker B: That is on the fly.
[00:10:34] Speaker A: Like, what you mean bring it back to the house?
[00:10:35] Speaker B: Yeah, bring it back to.
[00:10:36] Speaker A: Bring it back to the house. What, Lisa, Leasing the house is better.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: This day and age, I think. So.
[00:10:41] Speaker A: See, this. This is why I don't. Okay, if you are renting a house or if you are renting a place, even if you're renting an apartment, right, that means that you are paying somebody else's mortgage.
Yes, but somebody else is reaping the benefit of the equity in which raises in that house.
[00:10:59] Speaker B: But I think there are certain things.
[00:11:01] Speaker A: You as a renter, do you get equity? No, but you as a homeowner or the person that owns that equity.
[00:11:08] Speaker B: But I think. I think for when you. When you get into a house, I think it's nice to rent, to figure out what the hell you would want in your first house. Because it ain't like you can buy a house and you realize, well, shit, I want an island.
[00:11:22] Speaker A: Or, I bought my house a couple of years ago, right? That's. That's. That's before then. I 100% renter. I was written, right? Written. I mean, my kids even looked at me and was like, did you buy a house after we move out? And I'm like, yeah, I seen what you did to my rentals. Like, I seen. I seen the deposits I didn't get back, right?
[00:11:40] Speaker B: But that renting led you one.
You ain't destroying your credit because you just bought a house and then you're like, oh, this ain't what I want. Or the kids is too small or too big for the house. Right. But you got to see what you might want in your house.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: Well, of course.
[00:11:56] Speaker B: Like, you didn't just buy this first house. And you were like, I think that's everything.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: Plus, that was my trade. I was a carpenter before I got into standup. Like, I, I, I. I build homes.
[00:12:03] Speaker B: Like I was, but for anybody. That's not like you. And I, like, you're a carpenter. I'm a landscaper. Or. Sorry. Not still am. I was.
[00:12:12] Speaker A: No, you still are. You still are. I guarantee you, if I put a weed wagon in your hand, you know what you're doing with it, bro.
[00:12:17] Speaker B: I go, I'm just saying, my house.
[00:12:19] Speaker A: You are what you are.
[00:12:20] Speaker B: When I moved into my house, one of my neighbors told me, we're glad you here, but now we semi aren't. And I was like, why? They were like, cause every damn week, you out here cutting grass. Yeah. You edging? And I was like, well, that's. That's just what I do. I can't. I can't be in a house that.
[00:12:35] Speaker A: Sound like, my neighbor.
[00:12:36] Speaker B: My neighbor. My neighbor. Grass is just got the worst edge up on the street, dude.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: My neighbor right now, he. My neighbor, he's always like that. He's like, man, I try to let my grass grow, and then I look over and you cut it. He goes, and when you cut yours, I'm like, I can't just not cut mine because I'm right next to.
[00:12:51] Speaker B: You can let it grow. You just got to. You just got to give it an edge up every now and then.
[00:12:54] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:12:54] Speaker B: That's what I tell people. But I let my grass grow.
[00:12:57] Speaker A: I never. I never like renting. I always thought renting to me was throwing away my money. And this is why is because.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: It for sure is because.
[00:13:04] Speaker A: Because, like, let's say the owner of the house, right, gets locked in, and they only pay. When they bought it, they was only paying $1,000 a month.
[00:13:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:11] Speaker A: And now they renting out one room or two rooms or whatever because they got multiple people sharing the house, right.
[00:13:16] Speaker B: For, like, two. Each one of them.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: Yeah. And each one of them is spending, like 1500, two grand.
[00:13:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:22] Speaker A: Which already done covered the cost of the mortgage.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: I wouldn't. I'm not hitting. I'm not sitting here trying to say.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: But, like, my rent was just going towards somebody else's game.
[00:13:31] Speaker B: Very true. Very true.
[00:13:32] Speaker A: You. You are playing that out of it. But a month to stay there.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: Yeah. I would say. This is what I was trying to tell you earlier. This is why we had to put on the podcast. I wasn't saying I would live and die till like the end of renting. I think renting is a good way to figure out and start. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then.
Yeah, I don't. And if you, if you rent for the rest of your life or if you are in that upper echelon age where you probably should have a house and you rent in.
[00:14:00] Speaker A: No, I mean there are some qu. There are some good stuff to that. Like some people, some people stick to it because they're like, hey, if something breaks in the house, I'm not responsible for it. I have a land.
[00:14:08] Speaker B: Cause I knock on wood.
I have heard some people, when shit hits the fan, it hits the fan like H Vac went out leaking the roof.
[00:14:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: Like when it. Like sometime when it rains, it pours. And like you said, I ain't got that type of money to just fork up every now and then. So it is kind of nice.
[00:14:28] Speaker C: Last house I rented, well, I'm in a new house now. But the one before that we had our AC go out, microwave broke, dishwasher broke, all in like a six month span right before we're gonna move out. And I was like, thank God we're.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Renting because then that was on them to replace that. But see, I. I almost, I don't.
[00:14:48] Speaker C: Washing machine.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: But then again, I don't really feel bad again. You know what I'm saying? They had their mortgage locked in at a certain rate.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: Now when cost of living goes up, they can raise the rent for that. So.
[00:14:58] Speaker B: They sure can.
[00:14:58] Speaker A: So if, if they can, if they make like how we said, 1500 to 2000 a person, you got three people living in there, six racks every month off of that. You should be okay with replacing the microwave and be okay with replacing.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: For sure.
[00:15:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:12] Speaker B: Especially the cost of renting. Exactly. Right, Right. And that's as long as you got a good owner that understands that and isn't just trying to be a cheap ass trying to keep all that money. Then you should be Gucci cars. I will say I'm in agreement with you. I'm in the same boat. I know what I want and I want it to be mine because I want to customize it. I too wander. I want to. Oh yeah. Like, I have a truck. I want that truck to have a ding.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: I just, I feel like. I just feel like I don't know when somebody comes to my. To Me and my car. When it comes down to me and my truck, like you want it to.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: Be yours, I feel like, I feel like this is more valuable than that.
[00:15:50] Speaker A: House and my truck. It ain't got nothing to do with nobody else's rules, Nothing. I don't care what you got.
[00:15:55] Speaker B: I will say there is something about. If I was to get into your car and I'd be like, man, this is nice. Be like, yeah, and in like three years I gotta give it back. I'd be like, man, that's hurts. It kind of hurts. Hurts. I kind of.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: That's like, that's like being with somebody and you got a date on when this relationship is going in. Like, that's, that's horrible.
[00:16:12] Speaker B: Granted you're going to get an upgrade, but it's like you spent that, like when I spent three years with a car, it's hard to let it go.
[00:16:19] Speaker A: And maybe, maybe you get an upgrade because just because the car is newer doesn't automatically mean you're going to have less problems.
[00:16:26] Speaker B: That's true. That's very true.
[00:16:28] Speaker A: Because I know the old, I know the newer versions of my truck are having more problems.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: Well, yeah, my truck did.
[00:16:34] Speaker A: Like, my truck's over 300,000.
[00:16:36] Speaker B: Like.
[00:16:37] Speaker A: And we're going. We still going? Yeah, still going.
[00:16:39] Speaker B: There is something about, there is something to say about a car.
I feel like it's nice to own that.
[00:16:45] Speaker C: What about. I got one. What about a phone? Like iPhone or Android?
[00:16:51] Speaker A: Like make payments on it or just lease it and then when you give it back to them, like you just.
[00:16:55] Speaker C: Pay a higher amount per month and then you can like get upgrade. Like, you know they have those upgrades where like, oh yeah, free upgrade. Because you've been leasing.
[00:17:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I can answer that easily. I, I like to lease it and make the payment. There's some people that will flat out by the phone. I don't want that because I want my payments to match to the point that by the time the payment is over, the phone is probably done for. And then I just see the new one.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: Tell me this, man, is this the reason why we. Everything. Do you think that's the reason why we have.
It's like, why is a phone now over a grand?
[00:17:26] Speaker B: Oh yeah, it's a laptop now. It's. It's your laptop. It's your desktop computer now.
[00:17:31] Speaker A: It's but a phone. I remember. What was it? The Nokia Snake? It's a Nokia. When you used to play the Snake game on it, what was that called? And it was the Nokia because It was skinny.
[00:17:40] Speaker B: It was skinny and kind of had a wide. Had a wide top. Yeah. And then it was with the antenna also. The antenna came out.
[00:17:46] Speaker A: Right. The razor.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: Oh, Razer was my first.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: The flip phone Razor.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: I thought I was badass with that.
[00:17:53] Speaker A: I mean, but even. Even that one, when it was brand, it was like 100 bucks. It was like 150 bucks.
[00:17:57] Speaker B: Yeah. At the most, maybe two.
[00:18:00] Speaker A: Now. Now we're in the thousands.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:18:03] Speaker A: For phones that fold in half. I don't even want a phone that folds in half. I know people got them. I see them. I don't even.
[00:18:08] Speaker B: I don't trust it. I don't. I don't.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: I think that crease stays no matter what. I know. You can't. You can't sit there and be like. Well, you don't really see it. Yeah, you really see it well.
[00:18:18] Speaker B: And if you get a screen protector for it. Yeah, that makes it worse. I'm sorry.
[00:18:22] Speaker A: Especially when the screen protector gets dirty.
[00:18:24] Speaker B: Anybody that's got a flip phone, I don't trust you. I just don't trust it. I don't. You can't tell me you're gonna be flipping a phone with a screen. Let me rephrase that. We're flip phones. I'm talking. You got a full iPad. And you telling me you just folding.
[00:18:39] Speaker A: That like, and it's gonna be fine no matter how many times. I don't. I used to have a flip phone. I couldn't even tell you how many times I flipped it open and flipped it closed during the day. Oh.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: And even sometimes the little flap would break because of the screws. Like, I can't. I can't trust.
[00:18:52] Speaker A: I used to sit there and just. Like a fidget toy, just flipping it open, close, open, close, open, close.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: That was the first fidget spinner, if you think about it.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: It was. It was the start.
It was the Motorola startac.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: Did you ever have the Sidekick?
[00:19:07] Speaker A: No, didn't have that one. And that one. That was the one that flipped up like that. I remember.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: That was my fidget spinner. Because you could flick it and then.
[00:19:13] Speaker A: If you did have a keyboard or something under that.
[00:19:15] Speaker B: Yep. Two hands, baby. That was my fidget spinner. Because you could flick it with the thumb, and then if you did it right, you could flick it down hard enough and it would rotate it right back. Right. Then I got in trouble.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: I don't. You know what, Sean? If I can pay for it and get it, I'd probably do that. I've done that with A couple of my phones.
[00:19:30] Speaker B: I think I want to lease the phone. I think I still want to lease it because again, by the time the payment is up, I'm probably going to want to get a new upgrade.
[00:19:38] Speaker A: I would, I would agree with you.
[00:19:39] Speaker C: The value of that phone, like, there's going to be iPhone, whatever.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:43] Speaker C: Time you're done. So it's like, is that phone really worth it? No one's gonna. Who's gonna buy a used.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: Yeah, like, what's. Because you got what, the Samsung 24. 24. Yeah. So by the time. Let's say I've had it for.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: Yeah, just over a year.
[00:19:56] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. So you're. You're already done. So the 25's probably already out. The 26.
[00:20:00] Speaker A: 25 is out already.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: 26 is probably coming soon, so you.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: Can trade it in.
[00:20:05] Speaker A: But I mean, you know, but I treat my phones, though, Sean. I treat them like my PlayStations.
I still have them all.
[00:20:11] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:12] Speaker A: So I still have my PS3, my PS4, my PS5. Like, and I still have games for all of those too. It's like, people are like, well, you can't play it on the PS5. I'm like, no, you're right. But I can play it on the PS4 because that's what made for.
[00:20:23] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I, Yeah, I'm still sticking with leasing. I'm a Lisa phone.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: Lisa phone. Yeah, I can see leasing, especially when you were talking about how the data changes, the software changes. Like, everything changes, like drastically. Not like a little bit, but like drastically. You know, I remember back when, you know, 100 megabytes was a lot of space, and now we got people walking around talking about terabytes and it was like, what? Yeah, I got. I've only got 15 terabytes in there.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: What do you mean? 1500 megabytes is for the startup to that phone. That's to open it and make and change all your stuff.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: That was more than floppy disk.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: It was. I'm just saying, nowadays, literally, the moment you open it up and you open it up and log into your account, there's your hundred right there. Just gone.
[00:21:04] Speaker A: Definitely.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: Were you about to say something, Sean?
[00:21:08] Speaker C: Oh, no, no, you're good.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: Oh, okay. So, yeah.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: Are you in your phone? What kind of phone you got, Sean?
[00:21:14] Speaker B: IPhone.
[00:21:14] Speaker C: IPhone 13. Yeah, I think I bought it. I did. Like the payment plan where you pay 20 bucks a month for a year or two.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: How long have you had that?
[00:21:22] Speaker C: Gotta be over. Over two years now because I paid it off.
[00:21:26] Speaker B: Oh, he's due for an upgrade.
[00:21:27] Speaker C: Yeah, I should be getting one soon. But also it's like I don't have to pay anything.
[00:21:31] Speaker A: I feel like they do that on purpose. I feel like they spread out these monthly payments because they know that the minute you pay it off and go, you're gonna have to upgrade and get back on a new monthly payments.
[00:21:40] Speaker C: Yeah. Because now I'm like, okay, cool, one, two. But my phone's old.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: You're three. I think you're three out because the 17 just came out. IPhone 17 Pro. That's what you're four away.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: That's what my son just got.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: So he's safe for the next three, four years. So he probably just. He probably just started a payment plan.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: I'm Android. I don't care. All these iPhone users out there. I'm Android. I'm down with the robot.
[00:22:03] Speaker B: I'm down with the robot.
[00:22:04] Speaker A: I'm down with the robot. I know.
[00:22:06] Speaker B: I remember Android. You know what, before I conclude this, you know what made me so very skeptical of Android was the fact that the little anime robot looked fake.
Like they went so cheap on the logo. The little Android, little green guy, he just looks so cheap.
[00:22:25] Speaker A: He looked like that. You know that. You know that little puppet wood puppet that has the strings connected to it and if you pulled it, it would.
[00:22:31] Speaker B: Move, but then it would snap back up again.
[00:22:33] Speaker A: That's exactly. Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
[00:22:35] Speaker B: I swear, if Android had a different logo, I probably would be on. But to me, that's what it was. If anybody else can agree, get in the comments. But the fact that their logo looked cheap. That little robot looked like he was. Like he was cheaper than Limewire.
[00:22:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:51] Speaker B: And that's like, that's why, bro. That's how bad it looked to me.
[00:22:55] Speaker A: He said limewire.
Wow. And it was green too.
[00:22:59] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: Oh, it is green. It still is green.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: But he looks better. He looked like he belongs. He looks like he belongs on 4K. Back then he looked like he was like a 2 pixel. It was. That's why.
[00:23:11] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Something you played on Nintendo. The first Nintendo.
[00:23:14] Speaker B: Anybody that had an Android. I'm sorry I judged you. I was like, oh, yeah, you cheap. And you are stingy. Like, you just look. You look. Am I wrong, though?
[00:23:22] Speaker A: No, no. Stingy goes to iPhone. I'm sorry, iPhone is stingy. IPhone is the only one that don't want to be compatible with nothing else.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: They are stingy, but they at least had a logo that I can charge.
[00:23:32] Speaker A: My phone with the same cord. I could charge my Tablet with.
[00:23:35] Speaker B: Well, we can do that now. It took iPhone fricking years. But it's now. We now have universal cord. So if you need a charge, I got you.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: Okay. Buying or leasing, you let me know. Car phone, house almost. That was the first one I started with. I heard a whole conversation got started.
