Oh yeah, it is him and he interacts very much before he can sometimes be on the side conversation but that just means you're actually talking to us and not AI.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: And it's been nice because some of the comments have really been like, like good points on different things and a lot of different stories. Like them referring to the people in their family too as saying, hey, my uncle used to do this and my dad used to do that and my mom used to do this. Like, the comments have been fantastic. So please keep commenting, keep liking, keep subscribing.
[00:01:06] Speaker B: Please, please, please. And if this is your first one, welcome. You can go back. You might want to because we're going to reference stuff sometimes and the only way you know about it is if you've seen it.
[00:01:15] Speaker A: That's right.
[00:01:15] Speaker B: And if you're not, then you know, football season.
I'm a Falcons fan, he's a Raiders fan.
Got the clean, got the ooh, got the number shining. Can you even see that on this? Oh yeah, you can see it on the screen for sure. Those are, that's glistening. Them numbers is glistening and you know.
[00:01:30] Speaker A: I, I had to put this one on. This is, this is Bo and I remember when he first came to the Raiders. So what I'm doing is I'm asking the running back gods.
[00:01:42] Speaker B: For good old.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: To watch over Ashton Genti, to watch over him, to make sure that he can go out there and explode, give all the energy to him.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: I think so. I think I'm not going to say it's your year. I think your team will do better than most people are going to expect.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: Of course, man, we're going to get five wins this year.
We going to get five.
[00:02:04] Speaker B: Hey. Woo. It's all about progress. A step forward. Don't matter how many steps as long as forward it's going, don't fall back. So that being said, August had to bring the football on because we are so close to the regular season.
I do like basketball. I like baseball. I like other sports. But football, it's where I live. I ride or die with football.
Falcons fan since day one. Can't change my mind. We'll never see another team on this body. Not even if I lose a bet because I'm never putting myself in that situation.
First of all, can't put no other colors on this body. Only other colors I can do is my high school because they were red, white and blue. But it has to be a high school jersey, which I do have. Other than that, you're going to see me in black, white and red. Simple as that. No if, no ands, no buts. So those are our teams. If you, you know what? Comment below what your team is this NFL month NFL season kicking off. If we got some fellow football followers. Whether it's by force, by marriage and.
[00:03:01] Speaker A: If, and if you're a Bronco fan and you don't want to leave a comment, I won't be mad.
I won't be mad at all. Like if you like, you know what? I don't want to leave a comment. That's fine.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: That's cool. We take all comments. No comments. Some comments.
[00:03:14] Speaker A: So that's if you're a KC fan.
[00:03:17] Speaker B: I feel like it's going to be a lot in the comments.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Good.
[00:03:19] Speaker B: Then I feel like, I feel like your division is going to be stacked in our, in our comments. I don't find that many NFC south opponents. I could be wrong. Prove me wrong. But I feel like the comments, if they are any of teams is going to be fully your division, like just stacked. Which could lead to a side conversation you'll be having for the next five months.
[00:03:42] Speaker A: Especially when we, especially if we do improve and we do get better. Like this AFC west is AFC West.
[00:03:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I think I read something that said with Pete Carroll being hired, the coaches combined in that division have like 11 something Super Bowls or Super bowl. Like it's stacked. So good luck. Tis the season.
Actually I don't even say I good luck yet. They haven't even done preseason yet. So just get, get through training camp. Get through preseason and they have.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: They've been having the practices. I've been watching some of the practices on the Raiders right now because I'm, I'm kind of excited to watch Ashton Genti go out there and do his thing.
So I'm trying to get behind him. That's why I put the Bo Jackson on got to bring the running back gods out to protect him this season.
[00:04:24] Speaker B: That's right. When I forgot. You said it in an episode. Before we get to our topic, what did you say he had to do before you would get a jersey?
[00:04:32] Speaker A: 2,000 yards.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: 2,000 yards. He hits 2,000 yards. I will look at getting a jersey. Oh, didn't say I would get one.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: So 2000 is just to look.
[00:04:42] Speaker A: 2000 is to see, like, where, you know, where you, like, lean into it and go, oh, okay.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: How much you're in that. You're in that interest phase.
[00:04:49] Speaker A: Yeah. If he doesn't. If he doesn't even reach 2000 yards, I'm not even going to lean that way and even ask the question.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Not even now, 2000 looking. Is that also including, like, giving a heads up to the kids, like with Father's Day or Christmas coming up?
[00:05:02] Speaker A: No, because they, They've already asked me. They've asked me because they know how much I like jerseys. You know what I'm saying? I got. I got Jim Model's jersey. Bo Jackson jersey.
J. Matac.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: How Max Crosby, I think is your.
[00:05:14] Speaker A: Crosby is my newest one. Yeah, I still have. I still have a Khil Mack. And that's cuz. Khil Mack was my favorite when he was on. When he was on our defense. That was. That was be. That was beast mode.
[00:05:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:26] Speaker A: And I miss cle. When he left and went to Chicago, I was mad.
I was mad more because it. It. I had bought the jersey and the jersey had. It didn't fit me yet, so I actually had to lose weight to get. To get in the jersey. And the day. Oh, yeah, by the time. Yeah, by the time it was like, oh, my jersey fit. They're like, oh, yeah, he played for the Bears. Now I'm like, what?
So sometimes I'll just wear it around. Just be like, hey, you don't even play for us no more. Yeah, neither does Bo Jackson. But I still wear it.
[00:05:52] Speaker B: Well, that is true. They're both the same. It's just. It's because Khalil's still in the league. It's like, why are you.
[00:05:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he wears. He wears a Chargers jersey. Yeah, and that's actually.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: Yeah, he went. He went across the way.
[00:06:05] Speaker A: We play him twice.
We play him twice a year.
[00:06:08] Speaker B: I wouldn't wear that jersey when y' all playing.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: I don't. I don't. I don't even talk to the jersey. I just leave it in the closet. Like, I, like, I never bought it. I just leave it there. Bam. I don't even know where it is.
[00:06:17] Speaker B: That's funny. Speaking of not talking, if I say this phrase.
[00:06:23] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:06:24] Speaker B: Do you know, Slash? Did you grow up with this?
I don't even think it's a phrase. It's really just a word.
Catalog book.
[00:06:39] Speaker A: What do you mean?
[00:06:40] Speaker B: There is only when I hear a catalog book.
[00:06:43] Speaker A: Sears.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
I knew you. Yeah.
And JCPenney. Catalog book.
[00:06:51] Speaker A: Boy, I had catalogs from almost every major.
It was mailed to my house. I hated getting the mail. Like, back in the day, we got mail. We got mail.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Oh, it was stacked.
[00:07:03] Speaker A: And you had. It was a Sears catalog.
[00:07:06] Speaker B: JCPenney, JCPenney and Dillard's. Those were the three that I.
[00:07:10] Speaker A: We didn't have a Dillard's. Not. Not on. Not in our area.
[00:07:13] Speaker B: Not on the west.
[00:07:14] Speaker A: No.
[00:07:14] Speaker B: Oh, those three would go @ it.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: We had an Emporium cap. Well.
Oh, that's what we had. It was like an Emporium cap. Well, that was kind of. And then right outside of every Emporium Capital was a Montgomery Ward.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: That's where Emporia was. It was kind of like a.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: Like a JCPenney. Yeah. Macy's. Yeah, it was Emporium, Capwell, JCPenney, May. Our malls, like, in. On where I'm from in the Bay Area. Like, our malls, we had, like. You had Macy's, you had JCPenney. You had Emporium Capwell, you had Sears, you had Montgomery Ward. Yeah, we didn't really have a cost. There was no Costco.
[00:07:51] Speaker B: No, I didn't grow up on a Costco.
We had a Sam's Club. But Sam's Club was, like, for the rich folks. If you had a Sam's Club car, you was flexing at the mall. You had the big four.
[00:08:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:08:02] Speaker B: J.C. penney's, Sears, Dillard's, and Kmart. And they was always. You had to always take the escalator, and they were always entering from the top.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: I remember always seeing my mom's, like, wallet open, and I could see, like, you know, her Macy's card, her JCPenney card. And it was just like. Well, you got a lot of cards in there. Might be like, ah, be quiet.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: No, the catalog. I only say that because I was talking to a friend. I don't. I talk to my friends all the time. I don't know how we got on that subject, but somebody said that, and I was like, that was my. That was my definition of feeling bougie. Cause I always. For my birthday and for Christmas, I got to look at that catalog, and I would have all.
I had all four Kmart. I really wasn't looking at their catalog. I was really narrowing it down between Sears and J.C. penney's, because they had everything in that bad. Boy.
[00:08:52] Speaker A: I'm going to tell you right now, during Christmas time. Christmas time, I would go and grab my Trapper Keeper folder. I would open that thing up. I would grab a blank piece of paper out of my peachy folder that was on the inside of my Trapper Keeper because I would. I wouldn't. It was too expensive to buy the actual Trapper Keeper folder.
[00:09:10] Speaker B: Oh, no, no. Yeah, you just place.
[00:09:11] Speaker A: Yeah, you just take that PT folder. You punch three holes in it right inside that Trapper Keeper, I pulled a piece of paper out. I would go and wait until my. My dad. Because first it would go to my mom. My mom would look through the catalog first, Then my dad would get it, and then sometimes assist my sisters. I would kind of have to fight for. But the minute they broke it, boom. Got away from it. I grabbed it, sat down, grabbed that blank piece of paper, and I would sit there, and I would start with the toy section.
[00:09:35] Speaker B: Yep. I always had to start with the toys.
[00:09:36] Speaker A: Toy section first. What's the new GI Joes right now? What's the new Transformer coming out right now? What's the new. And I would sit there and write it down. Dude, I.
[00:09:44] Speaker B: If mine was Nerf guns and Super Soakers, I always had to look that up first in the toy section.
[00:09:49] Speaker A: If my Christmas list. Let me ask you this. Did your Christmas list ever come true?
[00:09:57] Speaker B: Wait, like, the whole list come true? Oh, no.
[00:10:00] Speaker A: Never?
Not once?
[00:10:02] Speaker B: No.
[00:10:03] Speaker A: Is. Does. Yo. Now, if you were gonna.
[00:10:06] Speaker B: The closest I think I got to put a percentage was, like, 75.
[00:10:10] Speaker A: You got three quarters of your list.
[00:10:12] Speaker B: I got three quarters, Man.
[00:10:14] Speaker A: I was lucky to get two things that was on my list.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: Whoa, two? Well, the thing was, my list was three quarters because I usually only had five or six things.
[00:10:21] Speaker A: My list.
[00:10:22] Speaker B: I had a lot. No, I. The first year I made a list that long. Yeah, I got, like, 1%. I get what you're saying.
[00:10:28] Speaker A: You only asked for six.
[00:10:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't get.
And you get.
[00:10:32] Speaker A: And you get three. You're like, well, I steal 50%, bro.
[00:10:35] Speaker B: That catalog would take some time. Like, I wasn't just, like, skimming. I was. I was actually reading, like, the descriptions.
[00:10:41] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:10:42] Speaker B: Oh, my buddy's got the nerf gun 300. Okay, 300. You get that many bullets. But if I can get the Nerf gun 3000.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: It says right there on the bottom. This. This action figure is 8 inches tall.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: Yes. I'm reading. So, yeah, for me to make a list like, 15, 20 deep and only get two, I'd be pissed because I did all that homework.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: Now, when you ever did your Christmas list, did you actually try to make it smaller so that you could actually ask for what you really wanted?
[00:11:09] Speaker B: The fight? Yes. My Christmas list was like writing a paper. I had a brainstorm, which was everything. Like, did you.
[00:11:16] Speaker A: Everything I wanted in your Christmas. Did you ever ask yours, did you have to put the reasons why you are asking for these?
[00:11:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:11:22] Speaker A: You had to be like, I think that I should have a globe.
[00:11:26] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:11:26] Speaker A: One that lights up. And I'm gonna tell you why. Because at nighttime, when I couldn't, I hated that.
[00:11:31] Speaker B: This is why. This is why. Last episode, by the way, if you did not watch that one, we talked about why we think the newer generation can't talk to people. I would be in my room rehearsing how you're gonna say how I was gonna say it, or knowing the looks my mom would give, I would know where she's at on the list. And I'd be like, okay, that's reasonable. That's reasonable. That's reasonable. That might get the, like, Dwayne the Rock Johnson eyebrow. Gotta be ready to explain that one. This one should be okay. Should be okay. This one might get the, like, oh, hell no. Look. Gotta for sure be ready to explain. Like, I was in my room prepping myself. Like, this is why I need it. This is what I've been doing. I would even, like, gamble.
If you give me this, you can take everything else off the list.
That's how much ice.
[00:12:17] Speaker A: So in the middle of asking for your gifts, you are actually trying to barter?
[00:12:21] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:21] Speaker A: In the middle of it, be like, look, I know I asked you for this one, this one, and this one. But if you are able to give me this one, everything else, you ain't got to worry about none of this other stuff, bro.
[00:12:29] Speaker B: I. That catalog, see, that's almost like telling.
[00:12:32] Speaker A: See, as a parent, though, like, if my kids came to me was like, yeah, Dad, I usually ask you for this.
If you give me this one thing, you ain't got to worry about none of this.
That would actually push me to just getting that one thing.
[00:12:44] Speaker B: But that's the one thing, see, that's. I knew my parents, okay?
[00:12:48] Speaker A: I knew them, okay? All right?
[00:12:50] Speaker B: I. I knew there was. There was no way if I got the one, there would be a bonus. If there was a bonus, I probably would have said, you know what? We can skip my birthday. You got me that and a bonus.
[00:12:59] Speaker A: You ever put something on there that you knew it? You just reaching now? Oh, I mean like you just like you even, you know like when it's right now you like, okay, I know.
[00:13:06] Speaker B: I'm reaching, but that's the bottom half of the list. That was the bottom half.
[00:13:09] Speaker A: Everything you weren't even thinking about.
[00:13:10] Speaker B: Top half was if there was 20 things on the list. I break it down to you like this. If there was 20 things on the list, first six to seven reasonable could get it done. Seven to seven to 12 was the. If you gave me one of those, you can take the rest out and about from 13 to 14 down.
If I got that, I would, I would, I would not ask for a damn thing for a year and a half.
[00:13:35] Speaker A: Really?
[00:13:36] Speaker B: That's how I broke my list down. It was like, this is realistic.
This is still realistic. But I also want you petty and ask for something else. So the bottom of the list is like I, I that you can ball the paper up by then. Like it's fine.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: I mean it's just the way you had like you went through one through seven and then seven to 12, like you win a seven year period and then a five year period. It's like you didn't even split it up evenly. So this was, this feels well thought out is what I'm saying, bro. Because like for me, I learned the first three things are for real.
That's it. After on my list, after three, that's like, whoo. If I. If it come, it come. If it don't come, I only. 1, 2, 3. This is really what I want.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I had faces after that.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: I started asking for all kind of stuff after.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: After three you're just.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: Yeah, just. Yeah.
[00:14:24] Speaker B: Floodgates open.
[00:14:24] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Shoot your shot.
[00:14:27] Speaker A: And what's even funnier is watching my mom pick one of those outrageous ones and then actually get that. There you go, put it on your list.
[00:14:34] Speaker B: And you're like, throws me off.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: It throws me off on how I'm supposed to ask now because now I don't know what her ratio is in order to buy gifts. Cuz she's picking something that I never thought she.
[00:14:46] Speaker B: On your toes.
[00:14:46] Speaker A: Yeah. So now I'm like, okay, I think I know her. And then bam. She get okay, I don't know her now.
[00:14:50] Speaker B: And then you try again next year. You expect the crazy part.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: Top three is that you don't even practice for the next year during the year.
[00:14:57] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. You Don't.
[00:14:59] Speaker A: It becomes a. It becomes like, like you hurrying up and trying to study for this test you taking tomorrow every single year.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. But you got a short window. Cause that, that catalog, the Christmas one, did not hit until Thanksgiving.
So you had like a month and a half like you said, to get the catalog and adults, my mom had to go through it, My dad had to go through it. If we was at my grandma house, grandma had to go through it, grandpa, then mom, then dad, then maybe an aunt or an uncle, and then me.
And then I had to, in that short amount of time, star or like highlight like what I think I want.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: Yeah, you're right.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: Or you had a time window, and if you didn't make it in that window, then it was mom getting me probably clothes, which I did not want because it was probably clothes I didn't even like.
[00:15:49] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:15:49] Speaker B: It was always something I didn't want. It was some, some nice little button up with the stripes and great for picture day. Yeah, I don't want that. I want to show up to my cousin's house and it's like, what'd you get for Christmas? You see this? Polo. So nice. No.
So did you always go Sears or JCPenney's or Emporia, which, which, which magazine was your. Guaranteed you was going to get majority of your list out of Sears because.
[00:16:17] Speaker A: Sears had like, I guess like emporium, Capwell, or JCPenney. They were more expensive.
These were more expensive places to go get stuff from. Like, like, I mean, there was an area inside our JCPenney where you could go and buy toys. They had a little section in there that was, that was dedicated to toys.
[00:16:33] Speaker B: I was in the far back, but.
[00:16:34] Speaker A: For some reason, their action figures of GI Joe was more expensive than let's say, Sears or Mervyn's.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: Yeah. See, I think that catalog taught me how to shop because I would have both opened up and be looking at pricing. Okay, I can say I had this down. This is probably why I like fricking math so much. Because I would have all three, and I know all three of them had what I wanted.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: Right.
[00:17:01] Speaker B: And I would look at pricing. So let's say I don't know this action figure 1599, 1620. I'm like, oh, why is that 1 20. Oh, a few extra inches, more accessories.
[00:17:12] Speaker A: Right.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: Is that worth the two extra dollars or can I just go basic, Put this in that first of six category and go somewhere else and take that extra two, three dollars and put it towards another gift? That's how much I divvied up my list. I was looking at pricing, reasoning.
And then also I couldn't, I couldn't dabble between every catalog. So also, whichever catalog I picked, that's what I had to roll with. I couldn't go to my mom and be like, so if you go to Sears, this is what I want. If you go to J.C. penney's, it was like, no, your list better be from one spot, cuz I'm not shopping everywhere.
[00:17:46] Speaker A: How many pages were missing out of your catalog?
[00:17:48] Speaker B: Oh gosh, that catalog.
[00:17:50] Speaker A: Who was responsible for the pages missing?
[00:17:52] Speaker B: Well, I'm the only child, so it was me. Every time.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: No, you know what's funny was. What it wasn't always, always the children that were ripping out pages. Like if you, if you. In our series catalog. If it's if. Like the, the car section. Yeah, the tool section. A lot of stuff ripped out of there.
[00:18:06] Speaker B: No. So my, so my mom and dad, they were folders of corners.
Oh. So my dad folded a corner and then my. So my dad folded a tiny corner and then my mom would go full right angle.
[00:18:20] Speaker A: Now see, my, me and my sisters, we was, we was.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: And I was the one ripping. But I. As long as I ripped from the toy area, that was fine.
[00:18:26] Speaker A: We used to be notorious for doing stuff. And then my dad started doing it. My dad ripped the page out because he knew the. That catalog wasn't coming back. He knew, he knew my dad, he knew he wasn't. There was no return policy. No, my dad knew once the catalog got into the rest of the family, like if he got it first because it's his mail. Right?
[00:18:42] Speaker B: Right. Yeah. It's got his name on it.
[00:18:44] Speaker A: Got his name on it. So he's going through it, he's doing it, and he sees him rip that out. Put it to the side, put that out, put it out to the side. Keep looking, keep looking, keep looking, keep looking.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: Boom.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: Put it off to the side. Because he knew once he did that my mom was gonna grab it. Now mom grabs it and goes in there. That already just by mom grabbing it. That means dad ain't gonna see that for at least four days.
[00:19:03] Speaker B: He does done.
[00:19:04] Speaker A: He ain't even gonna watch. He ain't gonna like. And he wants to go, hey, how much was that set of tools? Or whatever. But then now he's got to go look for his ripped pages that he has from the catalog.
[00:19:13] Speaker B: So your dad was kind of. He was the, he was the first. But the stressor. He, he had to make sure he had thoroughly went through and ripped what he wanted.
[00:19:21] Speaker A: Otherwise, especially if, like, one side of the page was the tool and the other side of the page was, like, something that my mom wanted to see. Then he ripped that page out and that came over there. Because then she'd be like, I'm missing. Like, she'll get to page 20 and be like, where's page 21 at?
[00:19:34] Speaker B: And he's like, well, they have my tool set on page 23.
[00:19:37] Speaker A: What do you need 21 for? You don't need 21 on page 20 is on the other side of 21. It pays. 20 has what I'm looking for.
[00:19:45] Speaker B: I'm surprised why they never made it like, a full divider page.
[00:19:49] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:19:50] Speaker B: They should have, because you got families that are ripping stuff out, and you got the mom missing something or you got the dad.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: I mean, we was a. We was a family house. We was a household family of five. Like, we was five people in one house. So. Right from one catalog. Yeah. Well, yeah. When that catalog went to Mom's, just Mom having it. That was guaranteed. It was gone three days. You wouldn't. You weren't gonna look at it for three days. Nobody was. Mom's going. Mom's going through that. She gonna take her time because she gonna get everything.
[00:20:16] Speaker B: Gotta read every description. Gotta decide if she wants it or not. It's worth her time.
[00:20:21] Speaker A: And then when the siblings are in the house, we're waiting for mom to put it down. It's depending on who is there to get there. When mom says, I'm done and puts it down is who's gonna get it next.
[00:20:31] Speaker B: Was there a certain spot in the house that you knew it was done? Because that's how it was in my house.
[00:20:36] Speaker A: Yep. It was right next. It was right next to all our VCR movies.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: Same if it was. If it was on the kitchen table, that was a. Do not touch it and do not move it unless mom says to move it for dinner. Because she. Especially if it was left open. Oh, don't. Don't close it.
[00:20:50] Speaker A: Yeah, no. We had this little end table that was on the end of the couch. And on that. On that end table, my mom had a stack. And it was the. And it's crazy because we had. We had. We had a lot of movies on vhs. A lot of movies. We had it to where, you know, you had the different drawers and you had different catalog. We actually. My mom had a catalog in our house that you had to look up if you wanted to. If you wanted to borrow one of our movies, you had to go alphabetically in our catalog. And it would tell you what case to go to to go find that movie.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, we had, you know, those German trunks.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:21:19] Speaker B: Whole bottom had three. Yeah, three.
Three shelves. And it was numbered. Was the VCR case on the outside, and there was a book.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: That table. Yeah, that table had a thing that. When my mom first got our first movies, it had a little case shelf with a little glass in the front. And it only held, like, seven. Six or seven tapes in it. And that was it. But that was our oldest. And those were the oldest movies that we ever had in our.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Oh, geez.
[00:21:47] Speaker A: So that sat on that table, and if she was done reading anything, if she was done with, like, I'm done with the.
[00:21:51] Speaker B: This.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: If you guys want it, it's here. Yeah, that's where she left it. So that's where we waited. And whoever was the first one to see the catalog sitting on that table, y was next in line.
Then it became a fight later on.
[00:22:03] Speaker B: Oh, the cat.
I knew you would know. I'm so glad you said one of those two places.
[00:22:10] Speaker A: When I said serious catalog was. That was. That was. That was a house.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: Yeah, that's me growing up. If you. And also going to school. If. If you wasn't talking about that catalog.
[00:22:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:22] Speaker B: I don't know who you was.
[00:22:23] Speaker A: You was from a different planet. Is. Anytime I heard the word catalog since then, I always wanted to put the word Sears in front of it, no matter what.
[00:22:30] Speaker B: It's a game catalog.
[00:22:32] Speaker A: And, like, the catalog is Sears. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, if somebody's. It was just always.
[00:22:36] Speaker B: That's.
[00:22:37] Speaker A: That's how much it was to me.
[00:22:38] Speaker B: Those four stores, I really. I really discount Kmart, but It was Dillard's, JCPenney's, and Sears was catalog. And it always. It always had a nice, nice Christmas guy or a girl with their toys and Santa on the front. And that's when I knew it was go time.
[00:22:56] Speaker A: Right.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: Always after Thanksgiving, we would. We would be in Sears, and they would have the catalog display.
And I one time thought I was slick, and I grabbed it. And I was walking with my mom through the store, looking at it.
And then she put me in my place because I wasn't reading. And she was like, why are you looking at that? I was like, I'm trying to get ahead. And she's like, fool, that's last year's.
[00:23:21] Speaker A: Right? And.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: And I was like, what? Bottom left corner. And like, 11-16-20, 20, 20, 23. And it's 2024.
[00:23:30] Speaker A: And. And it's crazy because, like, I know there. There have been movies that had made fun of Sears, you know, and, like, you know, for sure where they. Where they would say, hey, we got to put on our Sunday's best clothes to go to Sears. Now, that's. That is lightweight.
True.
Like, I remember when moms was like, we're going to Sears or we're going to, like, JCPenney. We better dress up before we go. We can't.
[00:23:53] Speaker B: You can't just come.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: You can't just come from playing outside to being like, hey, we going to Sears?
[00:23:58] Speaker B: No.
[00:23:58] Speaker A: You're like, nope, we got it. You got to get dressed. You got to get dressed. You got to put on something nice. You going up and down that escalator.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: That I got left in the car because I got picked up after football practice.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Oh, you was dirty.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: And my oath. Yeah.
My mom had to go in same.
[00:24:13] Speaker A: Like, the same.
[00:24:14] Speaker B: All right. Rest in peace to her lover, but would always tell me, I'm only going in for two minutes. I'm like, I'm. You're not.
[00:24:20] Speaker A: No, you're not.
[00:24:21] Speaker B: You're not.
[00:24:21] Speaker A: You're not.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: You're not. I. You can tell me that, mom, but you're not. I know. I'm like, yeah, I was old enough to write down the window. But she's like, I'm going there for two minutes to go. I need to go pay a bill. And I'm like, no, you. To pay a bill, you got to go past the stuff.
[00:24:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: Like. And they set it up. It's the women's stuff first.
[00:24:39] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:24:39] Speaker B: So I know you about to walk through that.
[00:24:41] Speaker A: Yep. Yep.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: But, yeah, I used to. If I came from practice or pick. She picked me up from doing landscaping with my friend. And if we were stopping, I already knew I'm not getting out.
[00:24:50] Speaker A: Same same.
[00:24:50] Speaker B: I'm not getting out.
[00:24:51] Speaker A: The same. When I play baseball, like, when we. We'd get, like, done with a game, we get done with practice.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:24:56] Speaker A: You're. You're inside going. And what's funny is, is I knew we was.
Because when she picked me up from practice, way different. I'm even. Yeah. I'm even in there with my buddy because he's. I'm. Right.
And it's like the minute he got into the car from practice and we. We were dirty. Like, it was dirty. This was a hard practice.
[00:25:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:14] Speaker A: And I look at my mom, and my mom is, like, done up, like, makeup.
[00:25:17] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:25:18] Speaker A: Done up and I'm looking and like. Yeah, I. I don't know. It was just something that us kids knew, like, because he wasn't my brother. He was just my friend.
[00:25:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: That played ball with me. But when he seen my mom dressed up, too, he was like, hey, well, we going to the store now. Like, we just knew we was going to be sitting in the back of the car for a minute.
And we're not going in because we're dirty.
[00:25:41] Speaker B: No, you can't do that.
[00:25:42] Speaker A: But. But it was funny that I didn't even have to explain it to my friend. Like, he. It was. It'd be like, if I got to.
[00:25:48] Speaker B: His car, it was coming. Bro code.
[00:25:49] Speaker A: Yeah. His mom was all dressed up. Oh, okay.
[00:25:51] Speaker B: We making a stop?
No. Where are we stopping?
[00:25:54] Speaker A: Roll down the window.
[00:25:55] Speaker B: I know I'm not walking inside.
[00:25:57] Speaker A: I wish I didn't drink on my Gatorade.
[00:26:03] Speaker B: The day. You ain't got no Gatorade.
[00:26:05] Speaker A: No Gatorade.
[00:26:05] Speaker B: And you know what your mom did your mom used to tell you sometimes, too. Like, you sure you don't wanna take a PB and J?
[00:26:10] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: And you'd be like, no, that was the sign for me. If my mama said, are you sure you don't wanna take a snack? That was my. If you don't, you will be hungry. Because we are stopping somewhere where you. I'm not getting you food. You're not coming inside. You are staying in the car. It took me about three years to figure that one out.
[00:26:28] Speaker A: Right.
[00:26:29] Speaker B: She would always warn me, like, you sure you don't wanna take a PB and Jay? And it's like, I don't get hungry at price. Like, oh, no.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: Now you hungry?
[00:26:34] Speaker B: That's not for practice. That's for after practice.
[00:26:36] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: When I'm sitting in that car, you were supposed to be gone for two minutes. And I'm 15 minutes in two minutes. And I'm stinky hungry and dehydrated.
[00:26:48] Speaker A: Windows rolled down so bad.
[00:26:52] Speaker B: Oh, man.
Before we get up out of here.
God, that was so funny. Get in the comments if you remember the catalog. Which catalog did you mess with? Sears, J.C. penney's, Dillard's, Emporia?
[00:27:05] Speaker A: No matter where you from, like, throw it in there.
[00:27:07] Speaker B: Like there's gonna be a common denominator of those five. I feel like maybe there is a six that I just didn't know about. Get in the comments. Let us know which catalog did you rock with.
[00:27:17] Speaker A: Right?
[00:27:18] Speaker B: Oh, I'm so. I'm. I knew it. I knew. I knew you.

[00:27:23] Speaker B: When I said that, I saw you looked at me too, like, what are we talking about?
I know thc, you know, you know, Craftsman. Just let your inner. Just let your inner child take you to that word catalog.
Oh, do they still do those?
[00:27:39] Speaker A: The catalog? Yeah, it's all online, I think now. But I mean, Sears ain't even here no more.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: That's true. We don't have one here. That book was. Oh, yeah, I got hit. Upside.

[00:27:55] Speaker B: They're like.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: You got hit with a two by six?
[00:27:57] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:27:59] Speaker A: I think it takes a two by six, a whole two by six, just to make that catalog.
[00:28:05] Speaker B: They weren't thin.
[00:28:06] Speaker A: No, no, no, no.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: I remember getting them in the mail like it would warp the whole outside of the mailbox.
[00:28:12] Speaker A: My dad would make sure that the tables would sit right just by putting the Sears catalog underneath it.
Cause it was support. You put all your weight on that thing. They ain't moving.
