Just she just wanted to do it, so she like paid for everything. But they paid for everything with, like, credit card points, flights, hotels.
Speaker 2:Is that your dad that's got all these points?
Speaker 1:Yeah, they both do. They kind of make a hustle out of scamming the credit cards. No, your dad is good.

Speaker 1:It's a Friday morning, we're leaving. We have to be the airport by like six, maybe even earlier. So my dad came and get me out like five in the morning or something and I'm ready to go. Like I was excited for this, I didn't stay up late the night before. I went to bed early. It was all packed like Tuesday.
Speaker 3:Yeah, your wife's trying to spend some time with you. You're like shut up, bitch. I got to fucking sleep. I'm packing, Get away.
Speaker 1:So I get picked up and I jump in the car. I'm like what's up everybody and they're all like they're all hung over. They went out drinking the night before. Amy is so drunk or hung over, still or sick or whatever. She threw up in the fucking parking lot when we parked the car.
Speaker 1:We got on the card bus thing to the airport. She's just sitting there going, oh my God, on the card bus thing to the airport. She's just sitting there going oh my god, she's white as a ghost. Go through the check-in, all that crap. We sit down. As soon as we sit down in the chair, she's like, uh, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. So she, she goes into the bathroom. She's gone for like 20 minutes like where the, where the fuck is she right?
Speaker 3:Obviously a number two type situation Throwing up, I think.
Speaker 1:Ooh, a number three. She's like done, she's donezo.
Speaker 2:It's hard to poop and vomit at the same time, but I've seen it happen.
Speaker 1:I've done it a bunch of times we show up and my brother's like man Amy, I bet you wish that they offer four seats and we four seats to give up our seats and we can go on a later flight or something.
Speaker 2:And she's like. Oh fuck.
Speaker 1:Oh my God Just give us some of your. So we're all like no way that's going to happen. And there's four of us Like we're not going to leave one of us stranded.
Speaker 1:And I four of us like we're not gonna leave one of us stranded. I'm like I don't know, you give us some money, I might switch up, right? You know, meet me, meet you there. Show up at the fucking gate, ding attention passengers, test and passengers. We're looking for four people to bump into a later flight heading into new york. We're offering six hundred dollars each for each person who volunteers their ticket and we're like, oh my God, that's okay, that's wild.
Speaker 3:But I'm like no Someone heard you talking.
Speaker 1:I'm like no dude. I took off work. I've been planning for this. Let's just get on the fucking plane and get there. Before we know it, we're only going for four days. Before we know it, it's going to be fucking Saturday by the time we get there. By the time we get there, attention passengers, attention passengers we're still looking for four people to give up their seats. We're offering $800 each person. We're like, oh man, 800 bucks a pop. These flights are free. Like we didn't even pay for them. They're just points. Like you know, you use your points. You don't get them back, but like didn't cost any money. Do they give you cash or do they give you?
Speaker 2:a traveler's check, kind of thing. What the fuck do they give you? Well we don't know if.
Speaker 1:Chris took it. Yet Well, I'm just. Attention passengers, it's like 20 minutes to boarding. Amy's been in the bathroom the whole time, the only time she's ever by us. She's asleep in her chair, going Ugh. She's dead Like gone so bad that some stranger in the airport brought her a $7 water from the airport store and gave it to her.
Speaker 3:She kept asking your dad and he's like I don't have enough points.
Speaker 1:No, he didn't. She was refusing anything we offered her, but the stranger, she took this water.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, you always take stuff from strangers. Attention, passengers. She took this water, so anyways.
Speaker 1:You always take stuff from strangers. Attention, passengers we are offering for anyone who will give up their seat. We need four passengers to do so, $1,000 each. And my dad I've never seen. I haven't seen him move this fast since I mean it's only 200 more than the second. First, yeah, but it's times four, it's eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, no, I got that, but he's like he doesn't get all the 800 you guys get your own thousand same fucking hotel rooms for the weekend round up to the nearest dollar.
Speaker 1:So so much better. He goes up there and they're like, yeah, we're gonna bump you. Uh, if you take the option and we're already thinking like we paid for it with points they're not bumping the guy who's trying to get to a business meeting, who paid fucking $1,200 for his fucking seat, they're going to bump the people who are on. We didn't even get seat numbers until we showed up. If we didn't show up late enough, if we wouldn't have shown up early enough, we would have been the four people waiting for seats. So sure she goes up. And they're like, yeah, instead of leaving now and getting in at 11, you'd get in at like four. And he's like nah, fuck that, that's a whole day, fuck that we're not doing it. And he's like but wait, there's a lot of airports in New York, what else you got? So they're like, actually, if you leave in, like our flight was leaving in like 15 minutes, 20 minutes, but there was another flight leaving in like a half of an hour, but it's had a stop in detroit for an hour, and then you end up in a different airport than you had planned on arriving in, but you're only going to arrive in new york like two hours, hour and a half after you would have anyways. So we got a thousand dollars each in a gift card, a visa gift card, so I have it hooked up to anything. I pay online for fucking hour and a half, oh dude.
Speaker 1:So we went into the airport in detroit, got a. They moved our bags too. My dad had a checked bag. They fucking my dad's like there's no way you're going to get our bag, though, and he's like no hold on, let me radio it up. And we watched the little guy run out there and grab the bag off the little corral and he put it on this other cart and he's like yep, your bag's been checked in for this flight along with ya. But yeah, dude, we went to New York, we flew in, it was all good, so did you meet the Wu-Tang Clan?
Speaker 1:So it was close. Yeah, did you see anybody famous? There's a lot of famous people in New York, right, and there's also a lot of people, and there's also a lot of people who look like a lot of famous people. So it's possible I saw the Wu-Tang Clan, but I don't think so, dude.
Speaker 2:No see anyone famous. Uh no, why would I see someone? I think that's the first thing. Someone from our area, wisconsin, or somewhere that's not popular, asks did you see anybody famous?
Speaker 1:like, like, they're like waiting at the end of the subway routes, like, hey, welcome to new york.
Speaker 3:Well, I did, I did see on facebook that, uh, you guys went to a particular diner that was on the opening credits of a very famous TV show.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, we had a lot of plans. So it was four days Friday we arrived in Saturday. Sunday we flew home on Monday like in the evening we went to surprise my sister. She had no idea Her boyfriend that she lives there with new and kept her at bay for like a fucking month and didn't and was all ready for it. So we showed up. She was still at work. We're sitting on her stoop with a six pack drink of beer. She's walking up the way. Finally coming home from work.
Speaker 1:My mom back in Milwaukee is sending us messages cause she's tracking her phone where she's at Like, oh, milwaukee's sending us messages because she's tracking her phone where she's at like oh, she's on the corner of this.
Speaker 3:She's at this. She's at this store. Why does your mom got a tracker?
Speaker 1:because she lives in. Her little, sweet little daughter lives in New York City now and so she wants to make sure everything it worked out once. She lost her phone, once and found it.
Speaker 2:I get, I get it, I get it. Man you sympathize I get it because. I'm being tracked everywhere. Yeah, I get tracked in the in the bathroom we're all being tracked.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, we show up and she can't see very well. She's legally blind as well, just like my brother really, so she can't see so well. So she walking up and we see her, but she can't. She can't like define a face like she can see shapes, body, whatever and the whole thing, but you got to get pretty close to tell who's who. So she's walking up and she comes around the corner and she takes like three or four steps up onto the stoop. Now she lives in like this big brick building with like probably 10, 15 units in it, so it could be anybody on the stoop. And then all of a sudden she notices she's like, oh my God, you motherfuckers, I can't believe you're here and all this shit Right.
Speaker 1:She said she thought that we were strangers, that friends, somebody Like she could tell who. But she didn't expect us. So, yeah, we did that we had. I took. We walked like fucking 15 miles one day or something, 12 miles, something like this one day, Saw all kinds of shit. But yeah, Tony, we went and saw it was way out of our way, but of shit. But yeah, tony, we went and saw it was way out of our way, but we had to do it we went to the seinfeld restaurant, tom's restaurant, so was seinfeld there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was the famous person I saw. Nice, yeah, yeah, liar but, yeah, I don't I.
Speaker 2:I never watched an episode of seinfeld. If someone hasn't watched seinfeld, explain. This.
Speaker 1:Rest is the right you said man, there's okay for Jay and the three other people. Dude I've never seen what I hate?
Speaker 2:the fucking sound of the fucking part of the show.
Speaker 1:I hate that, fucking the actors in the show and like the in-between times between like scene cuts and often when they're at that scene they go into a coffee house and it's like a coffee shop diner.
Speaker 2:Is that when they're sitting in booths?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so they show this sign, although obviously that's not where it's actually recorded. Well, that's bullshit, then I want my money back. But yes, we went and saw it because it's pretty iconic. It looks exactly the same. I don't know how they did that. All right, that all right, but it is cool. I've watched seinfeld since and I'm like, oh shit, I was there. Like we went to central park, oh, she was there, then subway, I did that shit, all that kind of shit so both you fellas are seinfeld fans most people are dude I'm asking both of you are you?
Speaker 1:seinfeld fans dude. The best thing in new york is that every single block there's like probably, probably 1500 to 2500 people who live on a block. Just think about that for a second. So every block has its own little fucking decent size, little convenience store, decent liquor store, a nice restaurant and a fucking laundromat. Then you go to the next block and it's like a hair, you know it's so compact. You can walk like three blocks and it's like a hair, you know it's so compact. You can walk like three blocks and see, go Asian restaurant to fucking other stuff Like it's amazing.
Speaker 2:That's why you don't have to own a car.
Speaker 1:So so much food. They're so good, dude. Everything is so good Like every other block had its own brewery. Dude. They're like the 13th street brewery they have 19 different beers, places packed full of people, nothing different.
Speaker 1:There's like there's like a fucking food truck on every corner, just cause there's that many people. Like one food truck, 1500 people You're going to serve 20 people that night. That's a good job at a food truck, right? You make five bucks on each person. You're making a fucking living. Yeah, but it costs you a shit. It, yeah, but it costs you Shit. It's crazy, dude. So we took subway rides like crazy. We went and saw the Wall Street Bowl. All these people standing in line to hold the balls of a brass bowl and have their picture taken by their family Went to the Ghostbusters. I did see that picture. Firehouse Never seen it. We walked the Brooklyn Bridge.
Speaker 2:You don't know me for now. Left watching seinfeld, I watch ghost, fucking ghostbusters. I don't think I've seen or heard about anyone not seeing that fucking movie. I knew right away when I saw that I didn't have to fucking even look at the captions.
Speaker 1:I knew that was the ghostbusters fucking but I'll tell you this, this city's sweet dude, I'm a big fan. You thinking about moving you? No? But I'll tell you, if I was there 20 years ago and I went on this trip 20 years ago, I probably would have Been like I'm going there.
Speaker 1:This is awesome. There's so much to do. There's always something. So why did your sister move there? So she has a college degree. As, like a botanist Like trees, she went to college for trees. So she has a college degree. As like a botanist like trees, she, like, went to college for trees.
Speaker 2:That's like the worst place to move. I'm simplifying it. There's no trees.
Speaker 3:She can grow them, but she can't see them.
Speaker 1:She worked here in different places. She got a job at the university, like Madison, or like at the Madison botanical gardens, like identifying and putting up signs for plants and taking care of certain area of the park. And then she was her boyfriend, got a job. He's a fed, so he got a job with the feds in the city. She talks to the feds, I guess. So, dude, so he got this job. It's a pretty nice job, nice job, you know, in the city. His sister work lives out there, so they went out there, he was working there and then she was like I'll get a job here. So she applied for some jobs and she got a job in central park, which is a fucking go to new york. Good job, central park, like an official, uh, the most expensive tree.
Speaker 1:She was a state employee working for the state in the state park or whatever you know, just picking up trash and whatnot. So it turned into being just her. Basically like picking up trash and whatnot. Another remedial non. Like hey, I went to school for this shit. But like, really, I do actually have a job for going to school for trees, so like I'll deal with that Cleaning up used rubbers.
Speaker 1:They lived in Brooklyn and it was like our subway ride, like three or four transfers. It was a big pain in the ass. She didn't make that much money, yada, yada, yada. So she kept applying for the job she really wanted, which was at the Brooklyn botanical gardens, which happens to be just a short four blocks or some shit from their apartment, and she'd fucking landed, landed that job. And now she's like the person who's taking care of all of the entrance trees and plantings and what goes where and like has a really pretty legit like in the world of trees, college people.
Speaker 2:She's got like it, dude so yeah that's why she moved out there for work and her boy, I always think when I see, uh the pictures, central Park, I always think that will they ever shrink it just a little bit to make billions of dollars?
Speaker 1:Apparently, there's some fucking thing in place where it won't happen.
Speaker 2:You could just take out one tree and you have $100,000 of equity in buildings or something Dude there's, so many buildings.
Speaker 1:Dude, we were on the brooklyn bridge, which from there you can see like all of the islands or the boroughs of new york and all of the fucking buildings on all these fucking little island situations and all this fucking. Oh my god, it's unbelievable. And we're walking across in this one and I see this one and it looks like a fucking burnt out, broken out. All it is is concrete like it never got built, and I'm like what the fuck's up with that one and my dad's like look at it for a minute. And I look and it's fucking tilting a little. It's this skinny fucking skyscraper, tall as the other ones, but it's fucking tipping over because the ground's not built for a fucking tall enough. But he goes, look around, he goes. It's the tallest one on this like strip and all the other ones are only like five stories and this one's fucking 73 or some shit and it's just teetering there. They can't build it. They don't know how to tear it down now like it's a whole fucking thing.
Speaker 1:But uh, dude, I encourage anybody to go to new york, at least for a fucking weekend or a fucking two days, and just like I did there, we did a fucking speed run subways. We rode it like 40 times, 30 times you go to. Every time you pop out of the subway you pop up, you're in a new fucking area. All new buildings, all new people, all new, everything. The ethnicity of the neighborhood can completely change. You can go down there into the subway again, ride it for three minutes, pop out, bam, you're in an old fucking way. Different area because it travels like four, three, four miles, like in a second, not a second.
Speaker 2:But you know I'm saying I feel like you, every everywhere you go, you're never alone.
Speaker 1:No, I feel like that would drive anyone with social anxiety I don't know, but nobody gives a fuck what you're doing, either you learn to realize that nobody gives a shit what you're doing.
Speaker 2:That's because you have so many people to look at. It's like you turn around. You see 15 people. You turn around another half quarter. Fuck. You see another 20 people. I don't know, I've never been there, I can't Dude it was neat, it's hard to imagine it. It was neat, dude You're giving me some kind of visual.
Speaker 1:We went to a bunch of nice restaurants.
Speaker 2:And how much is, though Everything's really? Expensive dude Like okay, what was your bill? At just a normal restaurant, Like nothing too fancy, Well like.
Speaker 1:I said, amy, she paid for everything, but you're looking at $20 plates, you're looking at $9 slices of pizza, I mean, it's regular life. But it's New York, it's a little more expensive. Like we went down into, like if you're buying shit down by, like Times Square and like in the popular areas where people go vacation or you know, visit food court, right, and you'll pay more for shit around there.
Speaker 1:But like I mean, beers were really expensive. You go to because there's no like fucking Walmart anywhere and every corner has a store that's damn near full like a Walgreens, but independently owned little Bob Bob's shop of 12. Pack of beers $13 instead of 6 there's a Walmart the size of my kitchen if there's a Walmart.
Speaker 2:The size of my kitchen. If there was a Walmart, yes, it'd have to be tiny as shit.
Speaker 1:So everything you buy costs more. The whole city runs on garbage, basically too, Most of the people there seem to just collect cans of other people. It looked like there was no recycling pickup People just picked it Like I'll take your cans.
Speaker 3:Pretty wild. I don't know that I've ever been less interested to visit a place than I am New York. I kind of thought so too, man. But it's cool dude, my kid almost got me to go oh wait last year what I mean.
Speaker 2:Your kid almost got you to go he begged me and why did he want to go? To go to new york you want to see the trees. You want to see it.
Speaker 3:They did some bullshit in his I don't know like no offense or anything, because I know your wife's deeply rooted in it. But the school system's just fucking stupid. It's fucked. It's so dumb, like they should be teaching them about something super important, but they spent the whole year talking about immigration that's pretty fucked sounds like indoctrination. That's cool. So, uh, you know, all he wanted to do all year was go see ellis island.
Speaker 1:I got a story about that.
Speaker 3:But yeah, that's, that's all he wanted to do and I almost took him just to shut him up, but I, I am not, it's so. So you guys have both been to my house. So I live, I live on, uh, what's called a cul-de-sac and uh, there's like 11 houses in my neighborhood and I'm under the impression that that's too many houses. Call the SEC. Yeah, there's too many houses in my neighborhood. I think we need to get rid of some. I get that. I want to be around less people.
Speaker 1:I get it, I don't think it's somewhere. I noticed something when I was there. There were not very many people Like I get it, I don't think it's somewhere. I noticed something when I was there. There were not very many people Like I was old, walking through the city, riding the subway, going in and out of restaurants and stuff. I was old 42 was old. Most people were in their 30s hanging out around there.
Speaker 2:Let me ask you this Like a kid would walk down to the convenience store? Were their kids like eight, nine?
Speaker 1:yeah subway, yeah, really there was nine, but there was like 10 to 15 year old kids you know some without parents.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's crazy because it's like a walk down, like go down, take the subway three stops, totally different than what pop up.
Speaker 1:Grab something from the store and get back on the subway three stops, totally different than what we're used to grab something from the store and get back on the subway and go back three blocks somebody listening in new york, it's probably like jesus.
Speaker 2:This is normal fucking life, but it I mean still I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I didn't experience enough to know, like if that's all I'm terrified when my kids walk across the street go to quick trip right, I can't imagine taking a subway 16 blocks, but that's because where we are there's no one to see bad things happen. But when you're in New York there's so many fucking people. You can't just do bad things. Someone will stop you, like it's like power to the people. There's more good than bad, and so that so you're saying the good overwhelms the bad.
Speaker 2:If there is bad, there's 25 other people that are going to stop that bad person.
Speaker 1:It kind of seems that way, like somebody came on the train and you could tell that they were going to do a performance or try to bag or do something. You could tell, and everyone that knew that looked at each other on the train and we all kind of made this like all right, if this gets out out of hand, everyone who made eye contact is in on this we're gonna fix this problem if there's a problem like I could tell there was like not of the 20 people on the train, there were probably like nine or ten people who were with me that if there was a problem we were gonna make eye contact together so you're saying the city is basically 25 beggars and criminals, 75 vigilantes?
Speaker 1:kind of well, not even. Yeah, yeah sure nice but okay, so the staten island. Right, you want to see, not staten island, but you want to see ellis island. Ellis island, you want to see statue of liberty I don't want to see ellis island everyone who goes to new york wants to.
Speaker 1:And there's this scam where all these people there's. Like this way you get down to where all the ferries are and all the boats that take you there, and it's like through this park and it's really nice in the state park or city park or whatever. You walk through it and it's all good. But there's these people that look like they're working at the fucking walmart and they're like sir, you need ticket, you need ticket, ticket, you need ticket. And they're trying to sell you packages or coupons or tickets. And we're like dude, you're not it, I don't want your shit. But then, like there's another wave of them, a couple more blocks down this like park, and then there's more of them and then there starts to be signs Do not buy from these people.
Speaker 1:It is a complete scam, right? You can't buy tickets here is a complete scam, right? You can't buy tickets here. But so there's this freeway to see the Statue of Liberty, because the boats can only take you so close to it and you can go onto it and take a tour. That's even more money, but you pay a bunch of money to do it. Or you could take the free public transit ferry that goes from New York City to Staten Island and it runs right past the same boats in the same boating channels as so everyone knows this I thought you could walk into.
Speaker 1:You can't, you can't if you take a special tour to do that, sure. But if you just want, to see it.
Speaker 3:take a picture, you can I think yeah, the flame, I believe you can.
Speaker 1:But so all these people get on this free transport to do this. So there's like a thousand people and probably of them, like 80 of them are actually taking it to get back and forth from Staten Island just because. So you take this boat, you get on it, it's free, you all mule onto the thing, you ride it, you can see the thing. But everyone as they get on, they all get on the one side of the boat that they're gonna see everything and no one's on the other side, and then on the way you land at the other end and there's a boat on the dock and if you run, you can run from this ferry that just landed to the other ferry and take it right back. So there's half the people from that half of people again, are running to go. We kind of wanted to make it too, but we didn't run. So we ended up having and staying in the staten island for, uh, 125 minutes or something. But yeah, man, trip to new york. Dude surprised my sister. We made a thousand dollars doing the trip that amazing.
Speaker 2:That's the best part of the trip.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's pretty legit. I haven't had to buy anything in a whole week and a half since I've been there because I've just been using this $1,000 car to get out of here.
Speaker 2:You spent that in one day.
Speaker 1:No, dude, I bought our dinner with it tonight. It's $26 here, $13 here, lunch here, vape here, whatever, and that's all I've been using.
Speaker 2:You are better with money than I am. I would walk one I would have walked one block, that car would have been cut in half because it would have been gone, yeah, gone.
Speaker 1:I would have bought every fucking thing I thought about buying a tv, but I don't. I don't need it, so I didn't just buy it just bought in pocket.
Speaker 3:He's asking strangers.
Speaker 1:What size.

Speaker 1:Don't try to reignite my excitement for this new television, jake's getting paid on a job tomorrow, he'll buy it for you.
Speaker 2:I'm going to tell you right now, the biggest thing you have to look at is the hertz 60, don't even look at it. You don't even know about hertz 120, maybe 240 is where you're at. It doesn't even matter, I'm an engineer, guys.
Speaker 1:You are.
Speaker 3:You are a tech.
Speaker 1:I run the program.
Speaker 2:I can't speak Custodial, maybe I can't speak clearly, but I can run the podcast. That's all that matters. Oh, Chris is taking a phone call right in the middle of the podcast.
Speaker 1:I'm still doing hood rat stuff with my friends, but you're not on the podcast, sorry.
Speaker 2:Hook toke to Bluetooth, then she would be. See, they do talk to each other.
Speaker 1:They always make fun of me, Kate, because they say we never go on vacation together.
Speaker 2:Well, she wasn't in New York, or that I always travel with Kanye. She's going to listen to this episode and she's going to be like, hey, now I know what he did.

Speaker 2:All right. So everyone that doesn't live in New York, that hasn't been to New York, this is a ploy to go to New York. I don't know, it was cool.
Speaker 1:Brooklyn was cool. City was cool. Things are open late.
Speaker 2:There's always something to do, always places to check out. The next time I'm flying somewhere, I think the first thing I'm going would think about is I'm going to wait for that announcement and see if anyone's going to give me money to wait for the next flight, because that is actually amazing.
Speaker 1:We almost got beat to the punch too.
Speaker 2:Some other guy was going to try to take it when you get to a thousand.
