00:02:02some great work it's um it's enjoyable and like most of the other podcasts that just go through the

00:02:07same motions uh there's always a wild card on swamp talk so you never know what to expect

00:02:13yeah always always a wild card guaranteed

00:02:16but um i don't have there's a lot of information that i could have gathered uh but we're just going

00:02:25to let you tell all the information but we're going to start with that you are the chief executive

00:02:29officer of for costa rica's call center since 2008 how did you get into that

00:02:36well i had a one in a million opportunity guys back in august of 2000 when i was 27 years old a

00:02:45good friend of mine just wanted me to come down for a couple months to teach english and

00:02:49you know once that barn door was open i wasn't coming back you guys know this you can get past

00:02:55your parents guilt you can live anywhere in the world so uh that's true yep decided to shed some skin

00:03:01you know we spoke prior to the podcast where you need to be happy with where you're at and i can

00:03:06pretty much be happy anywhere but i also do know this by having an open mind and learning a second

00:03:11language uh transitioning to costa rica made it easier for me and once i learned the business and i

00:03:16threw my hat in the ring and next thing you know we're almost celebrating our 15th year in business

00:03:20wow wow yeah that's awesome i struggled to keep a job for more than three years so that's awesome

00:03:28i've been at my job for 15 oh geez i don't know how i mean i try and a half i do try like i i typically

00:03:38like my jobs but i get too passionate yeah so when things start going south for the company

00:03:43i start getting vocal yeah and that usually ends up being my uh downfall because they don't like that

00:03:51they just like having people stay in line and do what they're told yeah it's like i'll do that but i'm

00:03:56also trying to save the company that i'm working so hard for but that's awesome you found the job

00:04:02basically of your dreams right i mean no one really gives you a blueprint for call centers i don't even

00:04:09think i knew one what one was but uh i tell you what guys i grew up in the northeast i'm a philly boy

00:04:14and when i graduated high school back in 91 um i chose to double down on spanish yeah and be a spanish

00:04:23communication major at arizona so i i just didn't take the traditional route because a lot of the

00:04:29times guys and you know this that you could be given opinions and people could almost predestine

00:04:34your careers and yeah it's not being a rebel but it's almost being a dreamer yeah and i just knew

00:04:40what felt natural guys so i decided to go with languages and so i was pretty much prepared when i

00:04:44came here i was bilingual i was marketable and i also had the desire to do something but check this out

00:04:49you were just mentioning earlier about how you were treated at your work when i was at my friend's

00:04:54center i wasn't c-level i was with the people and i was there for four years yeah so you got to see

00:04:58the good and the bad and really gentlemen it's about the dignity it's about making sure someone

00:05:04feels good about themselves and that you acknowledge the work that they do so as much as i think i can

00:05:12crack a code sometimes it's just being an old school coach yeah teacher or mentor and people will come

00:05:17back and as you say swing for the fences and go for it yep yeah yep but it's interesting though man

00:05:26i am a guest in this country and so i had to learn besides the labor laws you know it is a different

00:05:32tradition here this it's a poor vita place poor vita translates to pure life so there's a lot of

00:05:38ecotourism and it's very natural and and it's like being in the 1950s multi-generational families

00:05:44the neighbors know each other and so um a lot of the stuff we know from massachusetts and pennsylvania

00:05:50sometimes don't fly down here you have to adjust yeah you have to almost shed a skin and and start

00:05:56anew and and guys i was ready for something like that i wanted a a second life adventure if you could

00:06:02look at it that way yeah yeah um i've wanted to move to canada for pretty much since i left

00:06:09high school yeah that's all you talk about i know it is all i talk about and uh finally got my wife on

00:06:17board and we're looking into it right now whereabouts in canada are you looking um i want to go to nova

00:06:25scotia and halifax very nice yeah she's got the degree i don't have but uh i'm we got the looks

00:06:34that's all that matters yeah let someone else be smart but no that's great you should test things

00:06:41out from time to time it shakes things up get new friends yeah you know you open your eyes it's it's

00:06:47and you can always come home yeah you always have your support group there so yeah i totally agree but

00:06:51the problem is you guys are going to miss each other right you're going to be doing this podcast

00:06:55the distance yeah yeah yeah be switching to digitally yeah but no more parks i'll i can always

00:07:04come back whenever the fuck i want and stay however i want because i am still a citizen here

00:07:10yeah you so you could if i can find an online job or a stay-at-home job like i do now

00:07:16i can just take my computer home with me theoretically you could well now i can do that now yeah you could

00:07:23do it now theoretically yeah but i mean eventually they're going to be making you go back to the

00:07:28office yeah in two weeks oh yeah that's right my mom was telling me about that or like in a week or

00:07:33so i don't whenever that email came out i've been home for like two and a half years and uh probably

00:07:39about i don't know a year ago i finally got super used to it and then i started getting bored so i picked

00:07:45up another job uh during the day and now i'm just so used to working that other job and then working

00:07:54at home now i have to go back to the office now i have to adjust of not being home all the time

00:08:00yep all fucking day i'm working two jobs now yeah so that's gonna suck yeah

00:08:05but there's not cool people at the office where you go into

00:08:09no i love the people i work with uh they're really fun but i only work with them because

00:08:15i work second shift i only work with them for like two hours so yeah but you get that sweet new

00:08:23kitchen yeah i do have it where my cubicle used to be is now a kitchen dining room area like a break

00:08:31room really yeah i don't know where my desk is i didn't even check it out yet but uh i guess i'll

00:08:37find out that's the surprise yeah that is your desk the kitchen that's where my office is right

00:08:44right next brian this is your i love that because i because that's the only spot in the whole office

00:08:50that has a window oh yeah i don't get the window anymore so oh well yeah yeah they probably took

00:08:58that away because windows can be distracting well i got that 25 i got that 25 foot hdmi cord so if

00:09:05the uh i didn't check but if my pc has the hdmi cord i can just bring a little tv and

00:09:11set it up next to the window no one's gonna know i'm the only one there at night

00:09:16does that increase your work performance when you have that not say distraction but stimulation does

00:09:23that help you relax and do your job i know it does for me what just having something oh yeah

00:09:28necessarily have to be like a tv show but as long as i have like music or something yeah i usually have

00:09:34like a tv show on in the background you guys are saying your boss wouldn't be down for that if you

00:09:39come back to the office hit your numbers but you still have that luxury they wouldn't allow you to

00:09:44do that i'm sure they would yeah i mean maybe your boss i work yeah i work for a newspaper so it's

00:09:53really just waiting on the newsroom so it's just a bunch of waiting jeez so you got to fill your time

00:10:00somehow so i usually just watch a show on my phone or browse the internet and my old job if we were

00:10:08caught with our phone in our hand we were suspended yeah suspended for a day yeah or so maybe even a week

00:10:16miss anything it's not an issue but it's like i i try to tell them i'm like hey i'm just trying to put

00:10:22on some music i was like it's very boring in this warehouse yeah i was like i don't want to hear about

00:10:29so-and-so's uh dental appointment that they had and however many cavit shit out yeah but with us you

00:10:36can't have cell phones on the floor on the telemarketing floor but we have opened up certain

00:10:40websites for them to go to like a wikipedia yeah there are the types of news where they could read

00:10:46even listen to music and so as long as it's controlled it's not like porn yeah or something

00:10:51that's distracting or offensive and if they are reading something in between calls and getting

00:10:56you know that's what a stimulation i'm all for it i i'm very open-minded as long as they really don't

00:11:01take advantage i just want somebody just to once again feel fulfilled they don't quit and they come

00:11:07back and they and they just try harder the next day the key thing's not taking advantage of it and i

00:11:13i mean i witnessed people at my job this is probably why they were so reluctant to let us

00:11:18use cell phones for music but i did i did eventually convince them that people need music in this

00:11:24warehouse and they did let that one slide but i would be walking down an aisle to go put a couple

00:11:31rugs away and there would be somebody there on his phone just watching youtube or netflix or something

00:11:39and then a half hour i'd come back to put another rug away and they haven't moved from that spot

00:11:44they're just still watching the same thing and i was like you're the reason why we get in trouble

00:11:50yeah yeah just just look at them in 10 years they missed the starting gun as pink floyd says no one

00:11:57told them when to run yeah you can't hit the ball and drag johnny gentlemen so if that individual is

00:12:04just holding it back they'll get caught eventually yeah yeah

00:12:07but you guys you've never been to costa rica huh have you guys ever been to central america

00:12:14no i was actually supposed to go to costa rica the dominican republic and a couple other places on a

00:12:21cruise but then covid happened and that whole uh trip kind of just got voided out they refunded my

00:12:30money and everything i was like well i guess i'm not going on that cruise yeah i'm not saying i'll

00:12:35give you a final exam question but we are north of panama south of nicaragua we have the only

00:12:41democratic society in central america so there's no standing army a 95 literacy rate you guys uh there's

00:12:48companies such as amazon hp intel and oracle that are here and with ecotourism from the zip lines to the

00:12:55beaches waterfalls monkeys iguanas and butterflies when people just come here for

00:13:00to lose themselves find themselves and man drink as much beer as you guys can and have the best time

00:13:08yeah for a fraction of the cost yeah i've always wanted to go honestly i i i think it's beautiful

00:13:17um how's your high school spanish is it good no i failed actually i did so bad that they transferred

00:13:28me out of there and they gave me another vocational class because i was really good at vocational and

00:13:34arts so they they moved me out of some of my academics and they're like well is this what

00:13:40you're going to be doing for a profession and now i'm doing carpentry so i guess so but

00:13:45uh i told them mechanics back in the day you know those little tech classes are great yep i did a

00:13:52little auto mechanics it wasn't really my thing same with auto body i didn't i i know a little bit

00:13:57how to do it but i didn't really it was more woodwork and uh metal fabrication i would love to

00:14:05learn electricity plumbing yeah how to fix my car and carpentry i would have taken it every freshman

00:14:11to senior year yep so you're taking home tech what so i can uh what i learn how to make a cake

00:14:17that's great but i want to fix my car do everything yourself then you don't i mean that's one less

00:14:23bill at the end of the day you know even survival skills imagine if someone showed you outside like

00:14:30bear grills and you know and the where you learn how to make do trapping and start fires and protect

00:14:36yourself i love that sort of stuff yeah i took uh i didn't do spanish but i took horticulture

00:14:43which was the vocational one of the vocationals that they offered at my school and that was fun

00:14:48because i got to be the last three periods of the day that's uh that's planting right yeah it's

00:14:53working in the greenhouse we went out and did landscaping that's good too farming's good like

00:14:57there's there's i mean any farmer is going to tell you that they don't make money they don't make

00:15:02shit for money but you see these giant farms that they're working on it's like well that's where

00:15:07your money's going you're just expanding your business they got a contract with whatever

00:15:11company and they suck the money out of them and make upgrade things that they can't really afford

00:15:17so they got to get loans and they're just massive debt yeah uh debt for a couple years typically once

00:15:24the newer farms but i mean little farms yeah yeah little farms perfect i mean if it's an old

00:15:32enough farm you'll be protected by your town yeah typically uh the right down the street from here

00:15:37pembles farm yeah the guy next door put in a complaint saying it smelled like uh cow shit well

00:15:43yeah there's cows and the town of pittsfield fired back and they're just like well that farm's been

00:15:50there longer than i've been in the office yes and probably longer than you've been alive he's just

00:15:56like i don't know what to tell you he's like you knew that farm was there when you bought the house

00:16:01yeah exactly so but it's one of the greatest pastimes even small gardens yes just know it it's

00:16:09therapeutic it's relaxing yeah it tastes great yes yeah yep grow your own food it's the way to go

00:16:18once you start doing that i mean it's not saying you're an old man i'm almost 50 years old but i'm

00:16:23excited for things like that you know yep hey i can't hold it against me we live in mass here and

00:16:30yeah that's i can't wait to have a big enough yard or a yard open enough to where i could

00:16:37have my own garden grow my own pot like do my own thing finally like experiment a little bit see what i

00:16:45can grow that farm on the way to new hampshire that one year when they did the hemp oh they were

00:16:49doing hemp yeah next year they had all new equipment yep they have like new tractors and

00:16:55stuff yeah yeah that's what i mean you get good at growing that especially around just from one

00:17:01harvest around a place where it's legalized and they need farmers to be growing pot like the land for

00:17:07that one harvest and you're gonna be good yeah i can guarantee surprisingly no one like drove up in

00:17:16your pickup truck and fucking started ripping that shit out of the ground uh i think when you oh they

00:17:21probably knew it was hemp and you can't really well not only that but i think when you have a contract

00:17:26there's like i don't know i would assume that you would have to take certain security measures

00:17:33well you're growing that type of stuff someone could have easily just drove up in their pickup truck

00:17:40yeah man went home yeah you can take it but you don't know if they got cameras in the trees watching

00:17:47you know they could have two cameras going each way on that road and then your license plate that's

00:17:53all they need yeah they'll find you yeah they'll find you so i just think they're setting out booby

00:17:58traps because you would and i would you know they're there could have been like a little electric fence

00:18:03like a trip wire yeah it sends like nothing compared to what these guys are gonna do

00:18:09like gilligan's island but uh you know just keep pinching yourself so you never have to wake up from

00:18:17that incredible dream yeah that would be amazing um what else do i have on my note

00:18:23i'm gonna get right to this because i'm interested in this uh

00:18:27what you sent me you have the largest collection of restored american pinball machines and antique

00:18:33rock cola jukeboxes in central america that's right boys i'm a treasure hunter okay well this has me

00:18:42interested because i know like on tv they do those certain things where they'll go around and like

00:18:49i think that guy has like one of the people i've seen he opened up like an arcade but it's all retro

00:18:55stuff yeah and when he told me that you have the largest collection of pinball machines i immediately

00:19:03like i was like oh hell yeah because like that was the big thing for me growing up all right because

00:19:10my dad and my mom they like to party so i was always being brought to the bar with them yeah i mean

00:19:17that won't fly these days but back then it didn't fucking matter you know nobody gave a shit he used

00:19:22to get shirley temples they'd be like yeah go play here here's five bucks turn it into change and go

00:19:27play the arcade games that are at the bar all right cool i had shuffleboard at the yeah the shuffleboard

00:19:33uh mine was pinball machines yeah because at kens bowl they had a couple different ones

00:19:38i forget what the fuck i can't even remember the name of that bar it used to be there on north street

00:19:48right under that juvenile court building now oh yeah no i don't i don't even i never knew the name

00:19:55my parents friends used to own it so like that that's what i remember because i was there every

00:20:00weekend playing their pinball machine and their machines and shit and now like i can't find a pinball

00:20:06machine to save my life like i can't even remember the last time i've seen one yeah no me neither had

00:20:13to have been at least like 10 years the madison might have one no i think they just have a pool table

00:20:20so that's really cool when when and why should i say uh did all this like you know pop in your head

00:20:31that you wanted to start collecting pinball machines comes from the same passion as you

00:20:37explained growing up and playing those amazing machines everywhere and anywhere and when you

00:20:42watch older movies you see them in the bars and the restaurants and you point them out and um i had

00:20:49the space i had the income yeah and i still had the passion it keeps me young there's certain stages

00:20:56in life you're supposed to do things but to me i always still had that young streak in me

00:21:01and i prefer my own tastes and you know same thing gentlemen the bars and arcades closed you see things

00:21:09on craigslist or our local mercados or our local markets that we have here or just through the

00:21:15grapevine and one man's trash is another man's they have no idea what they're sitting on a machine that

00:21:23could be restored could be thousands of dollars and they're giving them away and thanking me for

00:21:28taking them out of their bodega for a couple hundred dollars and um you know when something

00:21:35is valuable even if it's covered with dust and dirt yep and even crap you can tell and uh i knew enough

00:21:42and so bought my first one bought a couple more and now i'm up to 13 pinball machines six jukeboxes

00:21:49ski machine air hockey table and but the pinballs they're gorgeous my oldest machine guys is a 1976

00:21:58bally's freedom wow and the newest one is the um it's a 96 uh last action hero with uh arnold

00:22:07schwarzenegger and i just got everything in between and um you see the old ones with the wheels and then

00:22:13you got the different sort of scoring led lights and then you got the different uh you know the screens

00:22:18that you have today yeah uh and it's just um the transformation the play fields the the outside

00:22:26paint and artwork the marquees is it complicated yes but it also can be fixed with a trained electrician

00:22:33and there are certain professional places that you can literally look up the part from the manual

00:22:38order it from them from five bucks to a couple hundred dollars and the next thing you know gentlemen

00:22:43just a little twists and turns you you have this gorgeous gorgeous machine working again and and all

00:22:49the agents say yeah i played virtual pinball and i'm like listen guys there's so many things that are

00:22:54better not on the internet and one of them is definitely pinball you got to feel the machine

00:22:59like elton john says you can the lights and the bumpers and it's just to me it's an experience but but

00:23:06business wise it's a place for people to hang out let off steam recharge batteries and even hang out

00:23:12with the fa yeah so it's been very effective for me for my company culture awesome that's cool yeah

00:23:18i um i bought i we were driving and i wanted to drive by that house that i was telling you about

00:23:26earlier because i want to see what it looked like in person and on the way there i stumbled upon a tag

00:23:32sale and this guy had like two yards full of just the biggest collection of golf clubs i've ever seen

00:23:40like there's so many golf clubs and then i go we check out what he has in the yard and i look in

00:23:47the garage and there's just more golf clubs with golf bags these are full sets and the amount of like

00:23:54bar mirrors and um i love neon lights this guy had i was like i have a really nice one uh you've

00:24:04probably seen it it it looks like a dock almost and it's a old captain morgan uh back when they had

00:24:12like i think it was coconut flavored rum yeah so it wasn't malibu doing it it was captain morgan i don't

00:24:20even know like i've never had a coconut or uh captain morgan so i don't even know how old this could be

00:24:27probably somewhere in the 90s but it's in perfect condition it's got an inlay with like that thick

00:24:33rope like the dock rope in it going around it's a wood frame and like i when i got that i was like

00:24:41i need to find more yeah because like i want this guy had a huge collection of them it was ridiculous i

00:24:47don't know how he fit it in the house no my dad has one down in the cellar and i'm gonna probably

00:24:52try and take that from yeah anyways i walked out his bar sixty dollars worth of mirrors which was

00:24:58just two mirrors uh they're both genesee the guy was like oh yeah this one with the with the horses

00:25:05on it that one's rare i looked it up i found more of those and i did the other one and then you go for

00:25:11like 35 to 55 dollars so getting two for 55 dollars it's it's a good price yeah yeah and they're hard

00:25:18to find that tag so i haven't seen any tag sales you probably just order them offline though genesee

00:25:25yeah but they would be more expensive yeah yeah and they're genesee you don't find genesee

00:25:30anywhere yeah it's most of his stuff was budweiser and he had a lot of cool like paintings and stuff

00:25:36but because he left them outside some of them like underneath the glass the condensation was and

00:25:40they're all sun bleached like uh they had a couple norman rockwells that i wanted but they were sun

00:25:46bleached yeah it's like what the fuck but uh yeah he had an awesome i don't know how this guy

00:25:52fit all that in the house man see i need a collection like right now i'm just collecting lizards

00:26:00and i need like an actual collecting yeah or collection that's why i pick knickknacks yeah

00:26:06well those knickknacks that you're into fucking they could be anywhere from you know five dollars to

00:26:14a couple hundred dollars so it's like like the couple the hummel that i picked up last week the

00:26:19rest of them are like they can go anywhere between 20 bucks and like 700 yeah it's crazy i i mean i

00:26:27understand it and i guess i kind of have a collection with like some trading cards and shit but they're

00:26:33coming out with like new packs every couple months and it's like i can't keep up with that yeah that's

00:26:39too much you know maybe one day like hopefully like i eventually find something like i hope that

00:26:46carpentry takes off for me and i learn enough to where i could start getting my own jobs to make it

00:26:51work because i'd love to do this as a profession and be able to pay for like something because

00:26:57even my uncle my my cousin who was sitting on the couch when we walked in today yep

00:27:03they like it must be like a family thing but everyone in my family besides my dad

00:27:10uh they collect old cars so my cousin he has two old square body trucks that he's restoring right now

00:27:18my uncle's got a chevelle ss uh i think it's a 67 or 69 it's beautiful this thing is

00:27:27everything on its chrome literally everything underneath the hood is chrome it's it's a beautiful

00:27:33car the thing is so loud uh he has this uh manifold system where like when he starts up the car it's

00:27:40loud but then he opens up the manifold and it's like you could probably hear it across the lake

00:27:45that's how loud this car is but it's like that type of stuff like i want to be able to restore

00:27:51something and like you know bring it back to it look at uh thrift shops yeah or antique stores and

00:27:59you can begin with just refurbishing some old antique chair that's just wicked cool yeah or an

00:28:05old lamp or something where you get it for the fraction of the price like a big you know a tiffany

00:28:09lamp for an example you guys with the electricity could fix that up yeah or even with your carpentry

00:28:14fixing tables and stuff and might it be a good side hustle yeah if you think about fixing that up and

00:28:20selling it but yeah man start small you got some ideas that is a good idea actually we should go to

00:28:25the restore soon oh god yeah i might find an old atari 2600 you never know yeah that would be

00:28:31beautiful because typically if they end up at a restore chances are they work yeah because they

00:28:38do test it yeah they test them so that's that's a good idea start small work your way up cheaper

00:28:45than buying it and what's easy i mean i already know it so yeah staining and fixing it that's that's

00:28:51piece of cake at that point you know i just need the router bits and a router yeah but you'll get

00:28:58that one thing you never even thought of that will be sitting there and then all of a sudden you're

00:29:02into like porcelain you know clowns or something you know i mean all of a sudden you know and then

00:29:08everyone be like what's he into but you'll you'll you'll be obsessed with it yep they the scientists

00:29:12saying the doctors say you know crossword puzzles second languages and hobbies keep your mind sharp you're

00:29:18constantly looking you know needle in the haystack even if you're oh for five it doesn't matter the

00:29:23sixth one you find it you you get excited over it i'm a patient man don't think i buy a machine a

00:29:29month this is a collection over the course of 10 years and so it could take months to find a machine

00:29:34and uh and then you catch it you hunt it you make sure you do whatever you can to get it yep and

00:29:41that's uh that's a thrill as well it is it is it's definitely the most exciting thing is you know

00:29:49scrolling and looking for this item that you don't even know what you're looking for yeah and then you

00:29:55see it and that's what you like something clicks in your head and just like i need this yeah that's

00:30:01how i was with those those mirrors yesterday i was like i need that yep it was like that

00:30:07they got great energy if something's over 100 years people have taken care of it yeah think

00:30:14about that it's being passed on it's almost like an heirloom yep like an old old hutch or an old

00:30:21dresser those are like things that i really like now you're stumbling upon we actually stumbled upon an

00:30:28old stove this thing oh yeah the cast iron stove it was a cast iron it was beautiful looking uh it needed

00:30:35some work to it that was a rare find they they were what they were charging not that much for it

00:30:42a thousand a thousand yeah but i mean restore it and that thing's going to be worth it oh then they

00:30:47had that one that that little antique stop yeah yeah that's what i'm saying shellburn or wherever

00:30:52you might not want to get rid of it after you restore this beautiful stove you know you're going

00:30:57to want it in your apartment or your house oh i would have kept it oh yeah i would have definitely

00:31:01all your friends are going to want to hang out and smoke and drink around it right that's the place to be

00:31:05maybe not in the house because that thing i can only imagine oh it probably gets how heavy and how

00:31:11hard it would be to move that you would probably have to build the house around try to remember

00:31:15when i was trying to get that wood stove it wasn't that big i gave up on it oh yeah service couldn't

00:31:20get it up in the truck we had uh engine lift and everything and it just it wasn't we couldn't get

00:31:27this thing up yeah we should have known like yeah i knew it was going to be really heavy but i didn't

00:31:32know it was going to be like more than a two-person job this is what i know you owned a cafe downtown

00:31:38on main street and that guy's flipping flapjacks and burgers or something on that you know you're

00:31:44going to pay extra to have your burger made that way yep i know oh yeah a thousand percent

00:31:49that could be the whole gimmick yeah of a restaurant

00:31:54you guys are smart do you see how things are created that way just by poking and looking

00:32:00around yep i mean that's how we used to we used to go to goodwill we had uh back when our wrestling

00:32:07had its own place the company that we worked for um they had a spot in like an old navy that used to

00:32:15be an old navy we built our own general store just by selling like old glasses from my grandfather's

00:32:21house yeah and we took that money went and bought a bunch of dvds and some extra miscellaneous things

00:32:27at goodwill we bought and then uh kids man kids will buy anything like other little knickknacks and

00:32:33stuff my grandfather's house and kids were just buying it the can't the bags of candy corn yeah we

00:32:39it was like uh probably spring at this point or something no it was uh it was like christmas i'll say

00:32:46yeah and we had uh gotten bags of candy corn for discount it was like what 70 cents a bag no it was

00:32:56like 36 30 yeah it was super cheap i spent like three sun on like we were like hey if they don't

00:33:02sell we only spent like five bucks two bucks or something on it we sold them for a dollar yeah

00:33:07yeah we made a lot of money off of those but that just goes to show like there's a market for

00:33:12everything yeah you know somebody will buy it eventually it's just how long you gonna hold

00:33:18on to it i'm just surprised no one bought that metallica cd that wasn't even open

00:33:21uh well after stranger things i can guarantee you someone would have bought it let's bring it to the

00:33:28show i still have a bunch of those glasses too yeah we should probably clean them yeah oh they can

00:33:38clean them so that's yeah that's the gimmick no that's probably why they're not selling anymore

00:33:42because they're filled with dust and shit

00:33:45all right how old are these glasses anything antique uh they're probably from the 70s or something

00:33:55yeah they're nice they're uh they're just uh brown stained glass uh bar glasses yeah pretty much bar

00:34:03glasses yep i don't know what he bought it for probably just they haven't had my grandmother

00:34:08used to buy so much stuff it was just an open box yeah two of them of these glasses so we're like well

00:34:17i mean they're glasses someone will buy them yeah you know probably not the best spot to sell them is

00:34:24at a wrestling show but they bought them with concrete floors yeah hey none of them broke no it

00:34:33wasn't our glass that broke nope how do they look when they're filled with beer i'm sure they look

00:34:38pretty tasty right have you tried it yet i thought we did i thought we drank out of them well i don't

00:34:45know i've been drinking out of them since i was a little kid so because he he had those two boxes plus

00:34:50he had the ones that were in the cabinets uh all right so he had a lot of them yeah it was just

00:34:55coca-cola milk milk does not look pleasing in them brown milk no

00:35:03uh dabble in some and some news all right yeah today was a good day yeah i got these real quick

00:35:15i got these like within 30 minutes i had all these well it's the weekend yeah um man gets stuck in

00:35:23stovepipe at the cob little caesars after trying to enter business from oh it got cut off i'm guessing

00:35:33the roof yeah if you're in the exhaust pipe yeah yeah yeah a man got himself into a very sticky

00:35:42situation in del cob de cob de cob county tuesday morning when he found himself trapped inside

00:35:51an exhaust pipe above an oven at little caesars restaurant de cob county police shared photos of

00:35:59firefighters cutting the man out of the vent which appeared to extend from a large pizza oven

00:36:06police said they got reports about a man trapped in the vent at little caesars

00:36:10on covington highway around 9 20 a.m oh my god it's in the morning good thing someone found it was an

00:36:18early heist huh for pizza yeah trying to steal that pepperoni yep it took firefighters about an hour to

00:36:26remove him he was taken to the hospital after he was extracted police said they don't know how the man

00:36:32ended up in the vent but they're still investigating he crawled in obviously yeah he definitely

00:36:38unless he found like a worm out of them it smelled so good how do you not follow the sense like

00:36:45i'll go anywhere the bigger question should be how did he get on the roof

00:36:52yeah probably to get into the vent unless he maybe there's like a ladder maybe he fell asleep inside

00:37:01and then he woke up in the morning he's like shit i'm still at domino's or pizza or wherever

00:37:07see little caesars maybe that's the joke he was trying to get out yeah could have still been an

00:37:13inside elon musk's 76 year old dad says he's had another child with his 35 year old stepdaughter

00:37:25oh my god

00:37:27elon musk's dad what are you still there

00:37:33uh-oh what'd you do you lose him yeah

00:37:38hello

00:37:44all right yeah our 45 minutes must have been up oh we're doing it over zoom yeah yeah yeah look

00:37:55how fast time flies gentlemen this is a good time yeah i completely forgot what i missed in the local

00:37:59news we were talking about an inside job at the at the pizza place yeah yeah we can go back to that

00:38:05uh well you can continue what what news story did i miss uh we right after we finished that is when

00:38:11i realized that you probably weren't there anymore because you cut off and then i was equating my net

00:38:16that doesn't usually happen oh yeah i checked and so yeah we're on to the next one yeah we'd

00:38:22perfect time you weren't gone too long yep all right elon musk's 76 year old dad says he's had

00:38:31another child with his 35 year old stepdaughter god yeah uh elon musk's dad fathered a second child

00:38:41with his stepdaughter who is 41 years old i'm gonna it says his junior i think this was written in a

00:38:50different country yeah i think so too like remember the indian times when i was reading it and it didn't

00:38:55i'm gonna i'm gonna assume that means 41 years old yeah uh he said in a new interview

00:39:01uh the elder musk and i'm not even gonna try to pronounce that yeah now that name

00:39:09previously welcomed a son elliot rush who is now five years old so yeah um the mother

00:39:17heidi and musk were married for 18 years and share two children uh whoever this is was four

00:39:28years old when musk became her stepfather oh so the daughter the the name i can't pronounce

00:39:34why do they have weird all the musk it's south africa i think they're from no but elon he just

00:39:41his more his most recent son he named him something weird didn't he oh yeah isn't it like a sound

00:39:47i don't know i can't even pronounce that either uh the elder musk said his daughters were shocked

00:39:56by his relationship the new york post reported that he had fathered a total of seven children

00:40:04whoo to them it was their sister he told the son uh not his son but it the son being the newspaper

00:40:16i'm assuming yeah um they still feel a bit creepy about it because she's their sister

00:40:23they're a bit creepy about it speaking with the tabloid musk echoed his son's views on population

00:40:33growth yeah is he just doing this despite you i don't know uh well no elon's thing is uh

00:40:43the population's on a decline well that's i mean well i know that's bad but for the sake of the

00:40:53world like that physical world it's probably a good thing oh my god yeah i can hear that wind

00:40:59coming through now there i don't know where it's just it's just gonna get yeah it's just you just

00:41:07talk over it that's all yeah um yeah this and you know this is that breeze does feel good i just feel

00:41:17like this is another case where money is like money talks and speaks louder than their actions clearly

00:41:27because help me stepdad i'm stuck yeah no i i understand why they're a little creeped out by

00:41:38it but it's not it's their stepdaughter or his stepdaughter so it's not actual family but it is

00:41:46kind of weird it is weird it's it's like 30 year difference but good for him i guess right

00:41:52he's still having kids at 76 years old so good for him and now this wind is starting are you still

00:42:01there oh yeah oh okay i would believe that any family no matter how much money they have they

00:42:07once in a while have difficult conversations around a dinner table so yeah and it also you know

00:42:14people are real too you might think sometimes people are in a bubble or live in fantasy land where

00:42:20everything is wine and roses but this is real yeah and these are real things that these individuals

00:42:25have to go through and money can't make it go away it's really about i guess relationships that you

00:42:32build with people and trust but um once again this is a family i don't think we're ever going to have

00:42:38a chance to meet so when you hear these things you almost want to give people the benefit of the doubt

00:42:44yeah i'm just gonna assume because of you know how popular this family is everything's on the up and up

00:42:57they're just not okay with it because of competition for inheritance

00:43:03well i feel like you i'm sure that no one cares because they probably all have their own i feel like

00:43:10elon has more money than his father yeah well yeah i watched a video i think it was this morning

00:43:18where like this tiktoker was talking to him and asking him a question elon was answering and then

00:43:24like he was kind of like slowing himself and he's like you know what you're right you're right i forgot

00:43:29what it was about and then like he delayed he delayed the project for months just to fix that one

00:43:34thing that this guy asked a question about because he realized like oh crap like i should do that

00:43:39i i wish i knew that remember the context of the video but i thought it was funny because he's

00:43:44talking you can see it in his face and he's realizing like oh shit oh crap yeah i should

00:43:50probably fix that like he stops and he's like you're right you're right isn't that what you guys

00:43:57do at your work make the suggestions yeah and so a leader but everyone has a chance to make their case

00:44:04and and i like things like that that shows leadership the more you do that and you strike

00:44:10it and you crack that code you know you're going to get promoted yep

00:44:13that just goes to show that you know the brightest minds yeah like this guy it'll just

00:44:26things slip you know yeah this guy took it upon himself right here sometimes you need like

00:44:32somebody from the outside yeah to bring to light dublin man buy his new plane ticket just to look

00:44:38for his suitcase at the airport that sucks yeah i read this one so i'm not gonna read that's like

00:44:44my biggest fear is like forgetting somebody or something important and i have to go back to get

00:44:49it yeah well uh this airport in dublin was uh that has been super busy i don't have to look at the

00:44:55notes because i remember it because i actually read this one and uh the airport's been so busy and

00:45:01like you know short-staffed just like everything else that's happening here it's happening everywhere

00:45:06else short-staffed they don't have any like they can't like they have months worth of luggage that

00:45:12has been lost and like no they don't have enough employees to go through it so this guy buys a ticket

00:45:17just to get through security in the in the in the uh the luggage yep so he goes in and he looks for

00:45:24his luggage and he found it along with months worth of lost luggage

00:45:28but uh yeah he he only he bought the cheapest ticket what did he say he spent

00:45:3518 euros 18 euros for a flight to glasgow what does that go

00:45:41transition to in the u.s i don't know probably like

00:45:47i don't know it doesn't sound like that much because i don't remember what a euro was

00:45:54ah hold on i'm looking i'm looking it up because now i'm curious open thank you

00:46:02i gotta close this euro no euro two oh it's the same it's 18 and 17 cents yeah yeah it's it's like

00:46:25pretty much spot on with the american dollar oh yeah he spent like 18 bucks wow okay well

00:46:32that ain't that bad yeah i didn't know it was that matched um but yeah 18 bucks for a flight to

00:46:38glasgow but he didn't obviously he didn't take it he just was looking for his luggage yeah

00:46:42i just want to make sure that i didn't miss still another 18 bucks yeah yeah he was going he was

00:46:51taking a trip um to australia at the end of june and after his luggage apparently lost mr lennon

00:47:00left the airport without a suitcase although after hearing nothing for a week he later returned

00:47:05to the airport himself in order to track down his bag in order to gain access however he was

00:47:10forced to buy a ticket himself and then that's he went looking for his bag and he found it

00:47:16sometimes you just gotta do things yourself yep

00:47:19can't you see that as lack of empathy from the airlines you know that causes stress you might have

00:47:30something important in it yeah i worked on the same thing yep spent 18 bucks for a plane ticket

00:47:38any bad well if they're not gonna you know worry about people's luggages maybe they should get rid

00:47:44of that thing where there's a limit on what you can have in an overhead let people just start taking

00:47:52their luggage on with them oh my god fuck just fill up yeah exactly fucking fill it up

00:47:58like uh don't they don't i've never taken a bus but don't you put your own luggage in

00:48:03or the cap or the captain the bus driver does it doesn't he um i think so i've never been on a bus

00:48:11but still well i think like he's outside with the things and he's standing in front and you give it

00:48:20to him and you see what compartment he's putting it into and then you know when everybody gets off

00:48:26and it's time to unload you wait for him to get to your compartment maybe they should do that for

00:48:30planes although there's a hell of a lot more luggage in the plane than on a bus i think the

00:48:35whole process of how they do luggage is like the issue i feel like it could be automated by now

00:48:45i wouldn't trust automation conveyor belts i i mean conveyor belts sensors and cameras

00:48:54and you have that and you need maybe like two to three guys tops now yeah just running luggage

00:49:01you throw it all on the conveyor belt and it sorts itself those bluetooth tiles you just throw in

00:49:07there that too like something bluetooth or not bluetooth but whatever however they work

00:49:12what are they called i just feel like this is a golden opportunity for innovation yeah like

00:49:18something's gonna happen if they can't find employees to do these jobs they're gonna have to

00:49:23put it in an alarm clock go off if you lose it make it really loud no i think i think they'll fix

00:49:29it themselves they won't leave it up to the passengers to figure it out for too much longer i would hope

00:49:37because then people just stop flying altogether yeah all right fuck that i'll i'll drive or i'll take a

00:49:45train i'll suffer at least i can have my bags with me yeah yeah i wonder if they're gonna

00:49:53do the uh the train ride through the who's a tunnel this fall oh i do that yeah we have

00:49:59this tunnel it's called the who's a tonic tunnel um okay it's over 200 years old uh 200 and something

00:50:07people died in the making of it so like it's quote unquote haunted i mean we went there we've heard

00:50:13noises and stuff i i know a couple friends that have walked through all five miles of this thing

00:50:19it's a tunnel that goes through a mountain like right at the base of the mountain goes through the

00:50:25entire florida mountain right yeah uh north adams to florida yep goes through and it's super dangerous

00:50:32you're definitely not supposed to walk through i guess you can face up to twelve thousand dollars in

00:50:38railroad fines if you're caught by the railroad company because i got caught by the cops and the

00:50:43cops are like you're lucky it's us catching you and not the railroad company yeah they're a little

00:50:47more tough on it now yeah oh not on the other side though yeah well nobody there's nobody in for

00:50:52it there's like three houses they definitely don't have cops yeah that side's easier yeah that side

00:51:01yeah but that's not even the cool side the cool side is the north adams side because some in the

00:51:06winter they shut the door well that's that's the thing like my friends they walked through going

00:51:10from florida all the way to north adams and they didn't want to walk back through to their car yeah

00:51:17so they ended up walking all the way down to mcdonald's and waiting like somebody they knew

00:51:22somebody there and they had to wait for them to come and bring them all the way back to florida mountain

00:51:27that's great yep they're telling me that there's a room in there yeah it had me

00:51:33yeah i saw it on there's like desks and shit in there it's like yeah it's the old control room

00:51:39whatever that's crazy to think about like these but you know it's all automated now so you don't

00:51:44need a control room and shit like that same thing with the luggage like eventually it could all be

00:51:51automated yeah you know but yeah hopefully they do that it that would definitely be cool to do i

00:51:58definitely want to do headless horsemen it's it's this hayride super long hayride i definitely want

00:52:05to do headless horsemen uh they bring you through like a a wooded area and then they drop you off at

00:52:11like this motel that's in the middle of a cornfield and you walk through and the motel is like a haunted

00:52:16house and you come out the back end now you have to walk through this haunted corn maze and then there's

00:52:22like multiple haunted houses throughout this corn maze that you also have to traverse through and stuff

00:52:27it's really cool and then you get out and you immediately get into another line for like

00:52:32three more haunted houses that they have on the outside of this it's like this massive thing that

00:52:38you do it's really cool and interesting but super expensive definitely halloween's the best day of the

00:52:45whole year yes once you never know we could be locked down for a couple more years i would take it

00:52:51get it yeah last year it kind of sucked because they were they weren't doing the walkthrough yet

00:52:58because it was still kind of just coming out of the pandemic so they're having people drive their

00:53:03cars through the whole thing and i yeah and you weren't allowed to get out and it's like that seems

00:53:09a little fun too driving your own car yeah but you don't get to get out and yeah you know that

00:53:16you probably don't go through the cornfield or the green you do the whole thing would be through

00:53:21the wooded area the cornfield it's all outside but you don't get to go through any of the haunted

00:53:25houses now and it's like the greenhouse that kind of sucks yeah the greenhouse that one's cool yeah

00:53:31oh field of horrors was fun especially that room where everyone's oh man wait was that field

00:53:38of horrors yeah we went to i thought that i thought it was at jiminy peak no no they didn't jiminy

00:53:43peak didn't do anything last year oh okay i don't think i think that's why we didn't go yeah there

00:53:48was this one room in field of horrors that we went to it was just filled with strobe lights and fencing

00:53:57and the fencing laid out like this maze so like strobe lights are impairing your vision you're

00:54:04walking through and the next thing you know you're walking into a fence it's like so and everyone

00:54:11follows one person yeah so what so what me and uh sean did was we led them to their demise is what

00:54:18we called we're like so many people depended on us well we're gonna we're gonna bring them in the

00:54:24wrong direction yeah it was funny yeah yeah everyone just following oh this is a dead end

00:54:31they wait for us to get out of our way i just imagine like what the workers there were thinking just

00:54:38watching them all like follow us the wrong way and then you got the three blind mice yeah

00:54:45and then you got the idiots with the turning on their phones it's like everyone's yelling

00:54:49turn off your phone yeah they they kind of ruined it yeah turning on the flashlight they should

00:54:55definitely make it like a rule that you can't it is a rule well they should enforce it yeah they

00:55:00need to enforce it at that point they only had two employees in there because that ruined it for

00:55:06everybody like it was fun and then soon somebody pulled out their flashlight it just you knew

00:55:11exactly where you're going it was a dark room you couldn't see anything and there's just a strobe

00:55:15light and that's the only light you get unless you're a heartbeat a heartbeat uh sound yeah it was fun

00:55:21now listen you guys are alpha males was there one or two things that actually legitimately scared

00:55:27you when you did this i can't i don't think not i feel the horror the highlight

00:55:33everyone following us in the wrong direction yeah that one was pretty good

00:55:39uh i forgot what the other houses were they were fun but oh one of the houses when everyone was

00:55:48jumping out at you that was fun yeah that one was cool yeah they'd come up and then you just oh what's

00:55:53oh dude it was a cool little area it was it was a bunch of haunted houses and like a it looked like

00:55:59a small western town almost yeah of haunted houses and there was like a big fire pit right in the

00:56:06middle and they they had a fire going everybody's just hanging out after the haunted houses around

00:56:11this fire and then they had a tent uh where because it was raining that night i believe

00:56:17on and off because that parking lot it was just pure mud it was raining on and off while we were

00:56:24there i know that yeah yeah yeah it was um but yeah they had a tenant area and uh i they must have

00:56:32set it up on like a soccer field or something it was a crazy i think it's up all year round is it

00:56:37imagine playing soccer and having that as your distraction yeah you're not in a normal field you're

00:56:44just surrounded by buildings it was cool i want to do that again yeah that would be cool my main

00:56:50priority is uh hello source and definitely that's 75 dollars a person but is it now i thought it was

00:56:5750 last time i went was 50 but i think the reason why we didn't go last year was because it was 75

00:57:02and it was in a car i think that's why because they couldn't do it the previous year so yeah it's

00:57:07expensive but it's like four hours you spend four hours there yeah that's how long i was there last

00:57:13time was four hours i didn't get home until like well they also they do other things because like

00:57:17you buy your tickets and then you have until one they had another they give you a time limit too

00:57:24there's a time limit of when you need to complete everything by and they're open until like one or

00:57:29two in the morning like they're open super late so it's pretty cool because like i remember our

00:57:35tickets were for 9 p.m and the end time was one something yeah in the morning i'm like really i was

00:57:41like we're not finishing until one in the morning and legitimately it took that long but we got there

00:57:48at like seven so we're like what the fuck do we do for two hours they had like a magician show they had

00:57:55some other stuff they have like a stage there where they're doing shit you can take your picture with

00:57:59the headless horsemen and they got food and shit so it's a cool little area what is halloween like down

00:58:06in costa rica it's very selective i mean some people spend a bunch and get some costumes there's

00:58:12the occasional party but growing up the trick-or-treating that we used to and all the

00:58:17you know the pumpkins carved pumpkins on the front porch that's gone and also remember you guys and we

00:58:24had the changing of the season so just seeing the leaves and it like that it you just don't get that

00:58:29here but um it's interesting i mean they have their other holidays but what i miss as well is the

00:58:35christmas lights i always enjoy driving certain neighbors that and that one guy that really does

00:58:40is uh you have that around your neighborhood too yeah there's always like the one guy on the street

00:58:45that goes overboard one year i'll be that guy yep

00:58:48no but you know a lot of people i've lived in the states that have come back and as i say it's novelty

00:58:58they'll do it just to test it out and test the waters but um no i i remember back home i mean

00:59:04what you guys are talking about with the hay rides and the and the certain outdoor events

00:59:08system yes what it's and the fact that you're still doing it at your age

00:59:13is cool you should never grow up you should always enjoy this stuff yeah yeah i feel the same way

00:59:18and you're never too old to have fun

00:59:20i mean at my company we do have a costume contest which is great so i have probably about 50 or 60

00:59:30people here dressing up and and that's always a lot of fun so everyone always gets paid for

00:59:35dressing up anyway and usually the girls win because they wear great outfits and this is how it

00:59:40works always yep uh one year we were allowed to at my old job dress up and i showed up as a baby

00:59:49i got the baby mask and a diaper but i had i wore the diaper with the intent of wearing it over my pants

01:00:00but i had brought shorts just in case uh they wanted me to wear it without pants on

01:00:07so i was like well i'm not i'm not gonna just put on a diaper i'm gonna make sure that i have shorts

01:00:12on i'll just tuck it up into the diaper so my boss sees me wearing the the shit like the diaper and

01:00:22the baby mask and he's like i want you to go walk around the warehouse like that he's like i want you

01:00:28to go all out he's like don't don't censor it for these these uh these workers he's like you got

01:00:35give them the full effect of it i was like all right i was like i don't know if i should

01:00:40and at the time i've only only been working there for a couple months he he's he's like i'll send you

01:00:46home if you don't jokingly but i was like oh all right well i guess i have to did anybody try to

01:00:53pants you i mean that's the first thing i'd be thinking now immediately as soon as i walked through

01:00:58every part of the warehouse people were like oh my god and you'd see them start dying they would pull

01:01:04out their phones take their pictures uh like do my little waves you know a fake little wine or

01:01:11something to act like a baby and then i'd be on my merry way to the next room in the warehouse

01:01:16yeah you became a legend after that right a lot of people talk about it still uh around halloween

01:01:25everyone will send me the photos of me they're like you remember this i was like how could i forget

01:01:30yeah dude that was two months ago one year i dressed as wilford wilfred remember that tv show

01:01:37with uh elijah wood yeah he talks to the dog and the dog talks back and there's just a guy in like a

01:01:43dog costume yeah his nose painted yeah i went to work like that once and everyone loved it

01:01:48and uh i don't know what happened to that costume that was an expensive costume

01:01:54just like you wouldn't think it was but that dog costume was like a hundred bucks my god

01:02:00yeah and i wore it once well costumes aren't cheap no they're not like what we should all be doing is

01:02:06buying them on the off season yeah and they're probably cheaper i usually just go to plan months

01:02:11in salvation army and just buy my costume there we don't have one anymore yeah well i buy i usually pick

01:02:17something that i can just easily make myself yeah like that old man costume i only spent like 20

01:02:23bucks that's including the walker and the mask well no the mask okay so it was like 40 bucks because

01:02:29the mask was 20 but i got the walker and the clothes yeah but you did your hair and your goatee

01:02:36yeah so that when you took he did it so well that when he took off his old man mask he still looked

01:02:43like an old man oh damn oh he did his hair gray his goatee gray i was like yeah i was like why'd

01:02:51you what's the point of the mask and then i did it again the next year yeah except i didn't wear the

01:02:58mask yeah yeah there was no point to the mask no it was good though it was funny i think my favorite

01:03:05was when uh i dressed as a female one year and i'm going trick-or-treating and uh this guy behind

01:03:13me he's like oh because when i turned around he's like oh i was like i was just sitting like damn

01:03:21she got some fine legs and you turn around

01:03:23that was fun that hurt because i was wearing uh uh women's shoes and they're too small they're my

01:03:33mom's shoes and they're just it sucked walking in those but it was funny because were they high

01:03:38heels those things can break an ankle not really that they did have like a little heel to them but

01:03:45they weren't like huge they weren't long it was just one of the short ones

01:03:49because uh that's why i didn't wear actual high heels because i didn't want to like break my ankle

01:03:57that was a fun halloween not as fun as the halloween when we dressed up like rednecks and got my dad's

01:04:07truck and just drove to each house jumped and then like tj would jump out the back and with this

01:04:13bag of candy and be like trick-or-treat and then they're like oh you guys cost them so good

01:04:19i'm gonna give you some candy but you guys are too old for this

01:11:32i'd like to hear some more details on this one

01:11:35all right florida man faces several charges after deputies used a taser

01:11:39to stop him as he fled on a riding lawnmower sunday morning

01:11:44saturday

01:11:44oh saturday morning

01:11:52this morning

01:11:53gotta move that phone away

01:11:54i can hear it in the microphone

01:11:56according to

01:11:58okaloosa county sheriff's office

01:12:0040 year old dusty

01:12:01mobley

01:12:03was not

01:12:05as successful as his previous attempts to evade authorities when he

01:12:09put a john deere riding mower into high gear in intent to outrun pursuing deputies

01:12:15i can just imagine how fast he was going

01:12:19authorities shouted at the man to stop and

01:12:25get on the ground before they used the taser to temporarily immobilize him

01:12:30after mobley was taken into custody deputies found a revolver

01:12:35and a handcuffed key

01:12:37in his possession along with

01:12:39a pipe that contained meth residue

01:12:42all right so this was fueled by meth

01:12:46typical florida i love it

01:12:49according to the sheriff's office mobley had gotten away with authorities back in early january

01:12:55when he dove into a swamp along yellow river as deputies tried to talk him about

01:13:00wait tried to talk to him about a forty thousand dollar stolen boat i think we read that one maybe

01:13:06oh a multiple offender on our podcast

01:13:09uh mobley was

01:13:11allegedly on a

01:13:13on the boat when deputies arrived and dove off the side and disappeared into the swamp

01:13:18avoiding uh jail time

01:13:20sorry to interrupt do they get extra points when

01:13:23they dive and use swamps in any sort of escape with you guys because it is swamp talk

01:13:28i mean yeah he's definitely on our top uh florida man now

01:13:33yeah he's bumped his way up

01:13:34yeah

01:13:35let's try to get the guy on the show

01:13:37oh my god

01:13:39uh

01:13:41let's just talk about deputies around

01:13:42oh yeah okay

01:13:43investigator said mobley had

01:13:45used heavy machinery machinery to cut

01:13:48oh let me try that again

01:13:50i have a bunch of cracks on the screen so

01:13:53investigator said mobley had used heavy machinery to cut a hole in a metal building in order to steal the

01:14:00vessel from

01:14:01a business off highway four

01:14:03oh so this is

01:14:05so he

01:14:06he i was thinking like maybe he just like stole it off a dock or something

01:14:10nope he cut himself into a building to steal it

01:14:12not only is he a multiple offender on our podcast he's done multiple things in florida

01:14:18after sunday saturday's encounter with law enforcement mobley was charged with grant theft
