WEBVTT
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:10.554
Welcome back to the come on.
00:00:10.554 --> 00:00:16.442
You know that's why.
00:00:16.442 --> 00:00:18.388
Anyway, how's it going?
00:00:18.388 --> 00:00:22.251
Um, I just want to get this off my chest.
00:00:22.251 --> 00:00:32.521
Why in the world, every time I go to the grocery store, supermarket, whatever you want to call it, I get a bad card, like the front, I don't know.
00:00:32.521 --> 00:00:35.009
Driver's side wheel is always messed up.
00:00:35.009 --> 00:00:47.869
I'm just pushing my way through the supermarket, I'm hitting, hitting tomatoes and cucumbers with my whack broke shopping cart.
00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:48.811
Does that ever happen to you?
00:00:48.811 --> 00:00:51.064
Whatever, anyway.
00:00:51.064 --> 00:00:55.384
So I'm gonna do this.
00:00:55.645 --> 00:00:57.490
Shout out to the wall.
00:00:57.490 --> 00:01:01.625
Tools had to change my brakes.
00:01:01.625 --> 00:01:08.593
My brake pads were down and I got me a like all my tools at the wall.
00:01:08.593 --> 00:01:13.391
So I got me a the wall impact wrench and it worked like a charm.
00:01:13.391 --> 00:01:17.769
Took those little nuts off, did what I had to do.
00:01:17.769 --> 00:01:20.186
This is my shout out to the wall.
00:01:20.186 --> 00:01:25.960
I'm hoping that, uh, they'll pay me for this little Advertisement.
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:31.387
The wall hey, I want 1.5 milli for advertising your tools.
00:01:31.387 --> 00:01:37.566
Hit me up, anyway, to get started.
00:01:37.566 --> 00:01:40.123
So, hey, talk to a coworker.
00:01:40.123 --> 00:01:40.605
I'm on.
00:01:40.605 --> 00:01:42.170
She bullies me every day.
00:01:42.170 --> 00:01:44.123
She's so cool.
00:01:44.644 --> 00:02:03.864
We were talking about like nostalgic, retro things that we did back in the day that no longer exists, like these kids oh, pardon me and these people nowadays like well, kids Probably will not have experienced.
00:02:03.864 --> 00:02:10.907
So we had a conversation and it was fun and, uh, we're talking about things that we did back in the day.
00:02:10.907 --> 00:02:19.943
Although I'm slightly older she makes fun of me because of such, but I don't know it was.
00:02:19.943 --> 00:02:31.544
It was fun, reminiscent about the stuff that we did that they don't Do today, or, like these kids have no clue of what, like what we did back in a day.
00:02:31.544 --> 00:02:35.705
So, like rotary phones, like, remember rotary phones.
00:02:35.705 --> 00:02:36.508
It's crazy.
00:02:36.508 --> 00:02:45.778
Like you had the with the finger and if you messed up a phone number, well, first of all you had, like you had to know a phone number.
00:02:45.778 --> 00:02:49.647
We don't Nowadays, I don't even care to know a phone number.
00:02:49.647 --> 00:02:53.701
It's like, whatever you know, it's just, uh, I don't know you.
00:02:53.701 --> 00:02:56.423
You click on a person's face nowadays.
00:02:56.423 --> 00:03:01.180
But if you messed up a phone number with a rotary phone, you had to start over.
00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:07.968
All right, if you get one digit incorrect, go back to the starting line.
00:03:07.968 --> 00:03:09.606
That's how it worked.
00:03:10.405 --> 00:03:16.151
And remember how we transitioned to like daytime, like daytime to cell phones.
00:03:16.151 --> 00:03:18.548
That was a big deal.
00:03:18.548 --> 00:03:20.639
But then it was those plans.
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.620
It was like the cell phone daytime minute plans.
00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:28.510
I get 206 daytime minutes.
00:03:28.510 --> 00:03:33.359
It was like how do they determine those?
00:03:33.359 --> 00:03:36.569
No, they had the business analytics.
00:03:36.569 --> 00:03:47.991
It's like, hey, man, if you give them 206 minutes, we will bust our profit margin and go through the roof.
00:03:47.991 --> 00:03:52.620
And remember, you have to call after 9 pm or 7 pm.
00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:56.105
And then they adjusted it so it was like hey, call me after 9.
00:03:56.105 --> 00:03:58.548
So you don't dip into my daytime minutes.
00:03:58.548 --> 00:04:00.045
The nighttime joint was free.
00:04:00.045 --> 00:04:02.687
Stop burning my daytime minutes.
00:04:04.502 --> 00:04:06.467
But yeah, we were talking about that.
00:04:06.467 --> 00:04:07.531
What else were we talking about?
00:04:07.531 --> 00:04:10.908
We were talking about like credit cards.
00:04:10.908 --> 00:04:26.346
Back in the day they had the old like credit card swiping machine joints where you had to go like and nowadays we transition, you just tap your card right and you have metal credit cards now.
00:04:26.346 --> 00:04:30.009
So those little things wouldn't work.
00:04:32.168 --> 00:04:33.875
We were talking about the internet.
00:04:33.875 --> 00:04:37.187
Remember, you had to sign into AOL.
00:04:37.187 --> 00:04:43.209
Remember, to dial up so it would use the phone line.
00:04:43.209 --> 00:05:00.874
So you couldn't use the phone if you were using the internet on your computer, because it's like, hey, you pick up the phone and you get that annoying sound that I just did.
00:05:00.874 --> 00:05:03.285
That was crazy.
00:05:03.285 --> 00:05:04.529
Remember that.
00:05:04.529 --> 00:05:10.735
Remember floppy disks, copying something and carrying disks around and stuff like that.
00:05:10.735 --> 00:05:12.620
So like, back to the phones.
00:05:13.783 --> 00:05:17.911
Remember, like phones are a big deal and they were a big deal.
00:05:17.911 --> 00:05:24.600
Remember back in the day, like your kid and you were like sneaking on a phone.
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.620
If you told somebody like to call you, hey, call me at 730.
00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:42.028
And they're like, they would call you or your parents would pick up and say I'm going to speak to Derek Derek's going to bed.
00:05:42.028 --> 00:05:42.468
Who are you?
00:05:42.468 --> 00:05:56.415
But remember like you would tell them hey, don't call me back, don't call me back.
00:05:56.415 --> 00:06:08.600
Or like the cord phone, you know what I mean If you were on a phone call and then someone else in the house would pick up the phone and they could hear your conversation.
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:16.269
Remember that, remember, that's what we talked about.
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:35.745
Remember like TVs, if, like like the knob on the TV you had, like you had as many channels as knob, like stopping points on the knob and after knob broke you would use pliers.
00:06:35.745 --> 00:06:43.562
Like turning the TV knob, like it's pretty much Johnny Carson on every channel.
00:06:43.562 --> 00:06:55.629
Remember VCRs, oh my God, like you couldn't like if you were recording something you couldn't change the channel because you had to keep it on the same channel to record or whatever you were recording.
00:06:55.629 --> 00:06:57.312
That was crazy.
00:06:57.312 --> 00:07:05.704
We were talking about like cassette tapes which they should bring back, cassette tapes if they ever left.
00:07:05.704 --> 00:07:09.108
I don't know, that was crazy.
00:07:09.168 --> 00:07:33.360
Remember like Record in it, like recording, it was a skill to record like a song on the radio and Like press that record button, remember that, that red dot, remember you would have to like Kind of rewind on one side to fast forward on the other side of this day.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.605
That was dope.
00:07:36.605 --> 00:07:37.728
That was dope.
00:07:37.728 --> 00:07:47.266
It was like if you could record a song, especially like if you could make a mixtape, you had skill, you had straight-up skill with the cassette tapes.
00:07:47.266 --> 00:08:07.447
But those were the days and then like, remember, like, like if you like somebody, you make them a mixtape, songs, just like you know, whatever Joe to see and other stuff, joe to see, that, no, joe to see, was like CD time.
00:08:07.447 --> 00:08:12.785
I don't, I don't remember, but I Remember recording songs on cassettes.
00:08:13.105 --> 00:08:19.639
Remember like having bootleg movies, like straight up, straight up, straight up, like you had to go and Purchase them, like you had that one dude.
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:28.074
You meet them, you know, on the corner of whatever and whatever you pay five bucks and get like two bootleg movies.
00:08:28.074 --> 00:08:30.925
The bootleg movies were crazy.
00:08:30.925 --> 00:08:34.706
It was always people standing up In the movie theater and all of that.
00:08:34.706 --> 00:08:36.211
Remember like collect calls.
00:08:36.211 --> 00:08:41.109
It's like, yeah, mccoy, collect, just just pay for it.
00:08:41.109 --> 00:08:45.700
Got 35 seconds that I could talk to you and all that stuff.
00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:49.650
Yeah, we were talking about oh, oh, you know what.
00:08:50.760 --> 00:09:00.904
Going back to the phone, like phones, phones, communication, like that was back in a day as we transitioned, like that was a big deal.
00:09:00.904 --> 00:09:16.072
Remember, remember like voice mails, like remember like you would have a you, you like put music in the background, or your voicemail would be like a dope drill, like hey, I'm my name Steven, you know, just call me back when you get a chance.
00:09:16.072 --> 00:09:22.149
You have like your favorite song or dope, dope track, quote unquote in the background.
00:09:22.149 --> 00:09:24.303
That was crazy.
00:09:24.303 --> 00:09:26.272
It's crazy.
00:09:26.272 --> 00:09:36.706
And my, so my coworker, she like she's younger than I am, so she doesn't she, she didn't Like I was talking to her about pages.
00:09:36.746 --> 00:09:39.375
Like you remember pages when you could type words.
00:09:39.375 --> 00:09:50.947
Like you would send a page and I don't know like 33 would be a hard or something, but you could type Numbers that would make words.
00:09:50.947 --> 00:09:54.207
That was crazy back in a day.
00:09:54.207 --> 00:09:57.995

She mentioned like erasable CDs, like how one CDs first came out.
00:10:13.169 --> 00:10:16.864
You would you can record stuff on them, but you could erase stuff.
00:10:16.864 --> 00:10:18.688
And then they came out with erasable CDs.
00:10:18.688 --> 00:10:21.076
I do not remember erasable CDs.
00:10:21.076 --> 00:10:27.320
I Mean I believe, like I know they existed, I believe it, but I don't remember that.
00:10:27.880 --> 00:10:32.932
