- 0:00All right, let's move to the next confession. Stop climbing Mount Everest, people. Totally agree.
- 0:07Yeah, this is me. Yeah, everyone's like, "Yeah, that's a big idea." Well, I don't have a poker
- 0:12face, so I'm sure I just gave it away, but I am um I'm livid. I think like there was a
- 0:18there was a time period when like the point of this was discovery. Let's see what's on the top of
- 0:23that mountain. Okay, we've seen it. We've done it. You know what's on top the top of that mountain?
- 0:27Dead bodies. because too many people are doing it. I don't think you're cool. I don't think you're a
- 0:31hero. You're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. You are jeopardizing your life and the
- 0:36lives of others. A lot of these people have kids and families at home. I think you kind of suck
- 0:41for us. I think you're selfish and you suck. I thought you were saying like, "Stop trying to
- 0:45achieve everything in life." You're literally like So, I get it. I'm talking about this specific.
- 0:52I was like, "Okay, I'm totally like off." But I get what you're saying. Both things are annoying,
- 0:56by the way. and they're trashing the mountain. It's becoming an economic and environmental
- 1:00disaster. There's a subjugation of the local population put into servitude for bragging rights
- 1:08up and down commercialized. It's not like you're going to explore an unbar,
- 1:12you know, a barren wilderness. Like you're going you're paying a guy, you're going to base camp.
- 1:18You're going to base camp. Not that I'm doing it, but like someone who's in good shape could do How
- 1:24would you and I'm going to throw Alex in this too. If you're climbing a building for no GD reason
- 1:29other than because you can't because it's there and then you put it on TV and blah. No. And you
- 1:34have two kids at home. Okay. What are you doing with your life? Stop lionizing these people.
- 1:40I think you're right. Like what's some people, you know, some people say that it's almost like
- 1:47why would you run a marathon? I kind of ask the same question about not as many people
- 1:51die running. Love you marathon runners, but like doesn't cost $100,000. You're
- 1:56generally not in danger. You can do it really fast. Yeah. So, we don't really
- 2:03need to be doing it all that much, but people do it because it's about like human accomplishment,
- 2:09what the body can endure, what they can do. It's a personal It's a personal same thing.
- 2:13And so, you can put that stupid obnoxious bumper sticker on your car with 26.2. Yeah, you can put
- 2:20this car went up Mount Washington. Joe's got he didn't run anywhere. Yeah, you can just
- 2:27put it on your car and no one's going to check. No one's checking me. Obsession. This person is
- 2:30all about '90s retro. Life was better back in. Not me. Definitely Joe. Not definitely not me.
- 2:39So, back to doom scrolling. Have you guys seen that that that like trend on Instagram or whatever
- 2:44where they put the boooo dolls on and it's like I don't want the world to see They show your
- 2:49your pictures from the '9s. Like, I don't even know the people. I have no idea who the people
- 2:54are in my algorithm. And I am just like looking at them like in their '9s outfit. Like, they
- 2:59look like Zack Morris and like I used to dress like that. And it just it's so nostalgic for me.
- 3:04Um like those are my earliest fun memories where like, you know, as as a a young kid in the 90s
- 3:08in like '92, 93 playing Nintendo and stuff like that to high school like being in high school
- 3:13in the late 90s. It just such great memories and all these people putting those that content out
- 3:18like like inject that into my veins. They show the dads like what my dad was like. This is what I kid
- 3:23what he was like. Life was better. It was so much better and you just it takes you back to a better
- 3:28time. A much more what feels like a better time anyway. So I agree. I'm glad you didn't say the
- 3:3280s. Oh, you like the 80s are a better decade than the n I than the 80s for sure. You think the '9s
- 3:40are better than the 80s? Oh, no. I think so. Wait, but how? I might be. She might be younger. Yeah.
- 3:45But so what but even looking at it historically, I'm pretty sure she's read up on it. So like up
- 3:49on the 80s. See, I've heard of this thing called the 80s. Yeah, I do. I love music. Great music.
- 3:55Great music. Madonna. We have the best time. We had um the best time. Like I think everyone
- 4:00is repeating trends from the 80s. Like you don't love the 80s. You could think I only make this.
- 4:07But then I was thinking like when I was growing when I was a kid in the '9s, right? my parents
- 4:12were in their 30s and 40s and there was this whole retro stuff about the 50s and 60s like
- 4:16that was very popular and I kind of like get into this weird headsp space where I'm like wow I'm
- 4:20my parents like the '9s are you know my 50s and 60s and and I put on a you know a Bush CD and I
- 4:26start singing right have you seen the Breakfast Club? Do you remember any of those like I mean
- 4:30you don't Empire you ever seen Empire Records? Okay so I have not actually so I want to I want
- 4:35to make that confession. What about The Breakfast Club? Can we talk about that? Great movie that you
- 4:38did not I I mean I think she's about to say she didn't see that. I just it just doesn't
- 4:42it doesn't really take you back. Doesn't want to make you be in high school and in detention. No.
- 4:46No. Because I was not in high school. I know. Just like you just like watching like I would
- 4:50love to be in detention on Saturday morning with a bunch of Oh my god. That was Illinois. Amazing.
- 4:54So good. All those movies took place in Shurmer Illinois. Okay. Okay.

- 5:03I have. It's great. Rex Manning Day. It's one of the best '9s movies ever made. Never confession.
- 5:08Okay, I really wasn't expecting this confession. This is literally the confession. Joe, I steal
- 5:16Okay, I really wasn't expecting this. I steal spoons from fancy restaurants. From
- 5:21fancy restaurants. You Carrie. Yes. Carrie's like you. I feel like Is this a profile? No,
- 5:29I'm kidding. Yes, I do. I didn't know we were reading crime. You're the person
- 5:34confessions. You're the person that I was at a fancy restaurant one time and they were like, "Oh,
- 5:39people keep stealing our silverware." That was me. Like they steal They steal the You know what they
- 5:45steal? You're You're good for taking the spoon. Some people steal the fancy steak knives. Let me I
- 5:49won't take a knife. But let me tell you the thing is when you go to these different restaurants and
- 5:53they have to be high-end and every so often you're just like, "Oh my god, what lovely." You don't who
- 5:57does not love flatwear? Everyone loves flatwear. Ask your wife. Who doesn't love flatwear?
- 6:01But it's like why not have a beautiful sterling silver spoon from the Bellair Hotel. Not to
- 6:05say that I've done it from there, but I'm just suggesting. Yeah, because it's not my hotel or or
- 6:11it does not, but it has beautiful victim. Carrie has the statute of limitations passed on. Yes, of
- 6:15course. That's the only reason why I'm confessing. I have and sometimes if I'm sassy and I put that
- 6:20in there too, I'll take a wine glass just in case. Just if I can get away with it. I know.
- 6:26Yeah. Come and get me. I used to steal glasses from a bar in down the shore called DJs and
- 6:32they had these very unique like glasses that you'd have like your vodka drink in and you used to like
- 6:37slide them down your pocket on the way out. People overcharging you. It's like you should be able to
- 6:41take something home like you just spend like $300 on a meal justifying it. Yeah. I know. I'm not
- 6:46really craziest thing that you've swiped from a restaurant or a hotel. I know you all have taken
- 6:51towels, spoons, house shoes. You've never taken anything to the house. They'll charge you room.
- 6:58They will. Slippers? Yeah. Never? No. I take the slippers every time. You don't take anything?
- 7:03Toothpaste, toilet, and stuff. Sure. Soaps. That's yours. I think you're supposed to remote control
- 7:10batteries. What? Wow. That's deep. Wait, what? Did you ever need double A batteries when you're
- 7:16traveling? Go to Target. There are AA batteries in that hotel remote control. I'm shaming you
- 7:20if you need them. Spoons. Okay, but batteries where I draw the line. Sorry. So, like if I go to
- 7:25a hotel and I turn the TV and it doesn't work and I'm like, Josh, it's actually very sad. I'm wild.
- 7:32All right. Confession. This confession might cause the internet to go up in flames.
- 7:39The dogs must be stopped. Dogs are everywhere and that it has to stop. Joe, no. I love dogs. I love
- 7:46dogs, too. Who doesn't like dogs? Not me. That's Oh my goodness. Are you okay? Controversial.
- 7:50I love dogs. Okay. Have a dog. Okay. I love your dogs. I don't love dogs in my restaurant
- 7:57when I'm eating. I don't love dogs in the grocery store. I don't love dogs anywhere food and drink
- 8:02are being served. And they are everywhere now. If they're comfort, it's out of control. That's fair.
- 8:07No such no. Listen. A um what are they called? Service dog. A service dog. Of course there is
- 8:14a service dog and there are and comfort dogs are not the same. Comfort dogs. They are not the same
- 8:18thing. And when I'm at a grocery store Oh, yeah. over looking at produce and fresh food. You know,
- 8:25you're walking around with your dog or your dog sitting next to me in a restaurant. Fair.
- 8:30I'm sorry. That's too much. And I love your dog. You know who agreed to? The Chinese government
- 8:36cuz they have gotten rid of all the dogs in public. But we live in a free country. We live
- 8:40in a free country where dogs can roam in public. The American way. And that's the American way. And
- 8:46you don't have to like it. Gosh. The American way. But you go to China, no dogs in the restaurants.
- 8:50Because guess what? I'm not gonna tell you exactly all the things that she just talked about.
- 8:54Restaurants, grocery stores, some restaurants everywhere. You see it everywhere. That's against
- 8:58the health code. It says so right on the door. But then I'm the a-hole if I say something right.
- 9:04Can we talk about the ignore the signs? Comfort dog thing like like like you go online, get a
- 9:10certificate and suddenly you could travel with your dog. But I don't want it in. I'm sure I'm
- 9:16sure there are some valid people who want comfort dogs. There's also a lot of people who just
- 9:20want to fly with their dog for free. Like they don't want to store them in the in the you know
- 9:26just I understand when you're your food it's a sanitary issue. I don't have a problem people
- 9:31traveling with a dog as long as they don't sit next to me. Like I don't want to sit next to a
- 9:34dog on a plane. I don't want the I don't want the dog to be How about sitting next to three dogs?
- 9:39That's happens. No, I'm I'm out. Some some lady on an airplane recently had like three
- 9:44dogs. That's insane. Like to be clear, I don't want to sit next to anybody on a plane. just,
- 9:47you know, for the record, but we all hope for that person not to sit next to them.
- 9:51But I think it's rude to have a service dog like where your where the dog's butt is like
- 9:55touching your foot. Look, if it's a service dog, I don't care. Then totally fine. But a service dog,
- 10:02but you don't know the difference sometimes and so you can't say arbitr
- 10:15usually the owner will say, "Please don't judge my dog." Like they just lay quietly. They're
- 10:21just a poodle in your bag. It's probably not Yeah. That that dog. I do know people who
- 10:25But I do know, to your point, I do know people who make that up and say they have a service dog.
- 10:28In the past, Mrs. Blli might have suggested we do that, which we did not, which we did. We're
- 10:33not like, you know, we're not stealing spoons or, you know, stealing. Hey, guess what? No more high
- 10:37ground here. You still are doing something. That's I'm not a I'm not a I take leftovers from the
- 10:42restaurant. Not Not the, you know, not the You've taken some slippers from a hotel. I did take the
- 10:46the cups. I didn't I was like 23. All right. You've done it. Thank you. Thanks for that.
