Carolina Otakus Podcast
Random: Airbnb Adventures, Canine Quirks, and Prime Day Picks
Ever booked an Airbnb that looked like paradise online but felt more like a reality show nightmare upon arrival? Join us as we recount our misadventures in Atlanta, where the digital allure of cozy accommodations unraveled into a saga of rough neighborhoods and flimsy furnishings. Our hunt for a good night’s sleep felt a bit like navigating the wild world of new construction homes—where looks can be deceiving and quality is questionable. Meanwhile, we managed to sneak in some gaming excitement at DreamHack, rubbing shoulders with Call of Duty Mobile World Championship enthusiasts and making a hefty haul of freebies that, let's be honest, barely justified that ticket price!
On a lighter note, if navigating the world of dog adoption has ever left you feeling like you’re starring in a comedic montage, we’ve got stories that’ll resonate. From puzzling agency restrictions to sky-high adoption fees, we're sharing the hilarity and headaches of finding the perfect four-legged friend. And speaking of finding perfect matches, our Amazon Prime Day escapades had us snagging everything from tech gadgets to quirky footwear, all in the name of comfort over style. Whether you’re a Brooks devotee or secretly loving the Crocs craze, we chat about the charm of practical purchases that just make life better. Tune in for a laugh and a few groans as we navigate life's little hurdles with a sprinkle of humor.

Uh, thank you and welcome to another episode of Carolina with Tyco Podcast. I am Afro.
Speaker 2:I'm Lexi. I'm the one without the attitude in the sleep. Hi, how is everybody doing? Um, as you see, things have changed. We have plans when things happen, so we are here. Um, this is going to be an off-the-cuff episode because we're literally doing this on the fly and we do not want you guys to be an off-the-cuff episode, because we're literally doing this on the fly and we do not want you guys to miss an episode. This might be a little bit topsy-turvy, but bear with us All.
Speaker 1:Right, like I, said thank you guys. Thank you guys for joining us for another episode. Like Lexi said, this is going to be some off the cuff type stuff. I don't know what the hell we're going to talk about, maybe just daily shit that you know we usually talk about. We can tell them the good news oh yeah, that too, and I can also talk about my minor surgery that I had. But anyway, since the last time we talked, what have you been up to?
Speaker 2:Me. I'm back from DreamHack, got this lovely coat and I got a whole bunch of other shit, yeah, so if you're wondering what this is, it is the Call of Duty mobile game world championship that they had at DreamHack. So if you go to DreamHack, take a bag with you, because you're going to get a lot of free shit. At least I did. They had a monster booth that was just giving out free monsters. Fuck, I forgot to get that flavor that they just dropped, that they had there that I hadn't tried, um. And then they have like a lot of tournaments. Um, they have like meet and greets. It's like all kind of crazy stuff. Um, so that was pretty fun. Um, it was not worth the 119, but luckily I got my ticket for free. Yeah, it's like 119 for like three days. Um, okay, let's talk about this real quick. So we got shit to talk about good um, I hate atlanta.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't tell you guys that now I'm gonna tell you that no no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not like I hate Atlanta. I hate Atlanta Airbnbs, because every time I fucking get an Airbnb in fucking Atlanta, that shit is always in a goddamn hood and it shouldn't be charging hood prices, like it's not even hood prices. They be charging like $200 and plus a night.
Speaker 1:And I'm just like all right, and it makes it look, they make it look all nice and the airbnb ads, you get your ass in there. And then, when you get there, it's like what the fuck it?
Speaker 1:it you're right because, um, when we were, when, we went to the MomoCon and we got that Airbnb and I was the first person to pull up right and I'm driving through these neighborhoods you know, I'm in the Volvo, right, and I'm driving in these neighborhoods and I see the gas station down the road, from the joint, from the place, and I'm like, oh, it's one of those type of areas Word from the place. And I'm like, oh, it's one of those type of areas Word. So pull up and I'm like where the hell is this place? This place is in the cut, and I mean when I say the cut, I mean like in a neighborhood, like in the back.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:I pull up to that joint and I'm like, okay, cool, okay, cool, cool, cool. And then I walk in and I'm like, oh, not too bad, okay, not too shabby, but it you're right, you're right, you, you hit it, you hit the nail right okay.
Speaker 2:so like that airbnb was okay. Even though it was in the hood, it wasn't that bad. The second one I stayed in. After that, the next mobile con that was the same thing In the hood, but inside looked gorgeous as fuck. Okay, the one I got for fucking DreamHack. Oh, it was in the hood and it looked like it was in the hood and like when you get in, why is the couch broke?
Speaker 1:Oh shit.
Speaker 2:Why is the remote no back? Oh, my goodness it was just like okay, you literally just threw like the cheapest furniture you could to furnish this place For it to be a fucking Airbnb.
Speaker 1:Yup.
Speaker 2:That's the way it is.
Speaker 1:I hate that shit, I was just like all way it is, I hate that shit.
Speaker 2:I was like all right, whatever, I was so bad, it was so bad, but really really hate that shit.
Speaker 1:I think that is the. It's like people trying to the Airbnb shit, just trying to get something out there. It kind of reminds me of, uh like when covet happened and all these big like construction companies were trying to just get houses out, just knock them out. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Houses would have like shitty builds, cheap shit, even moving into the place that I live in now they got this shit up so quick and for the amount of money, it's like you guys put in some of the cheapest oven dishwasher which I barely use. But still, it's like if I'm paying all this fucking money for this fucking house with this new construction, give me like, add some shit to it. You know what I mean. No, you give me a fucking barn door. I don't give a fuck about that, right?
Speaker 1:So I took it on myself to be like I called a place where they got the stuff from and I swear on that phone. Uh, hey, I'm in a new construction. And the lady literally said out her mouth before I could say it, and they gave you like a whole bunch of cheap appliances and I was like, yeah, and she was like you can bring them back in, and well, and you just pay the difference for what you want. And I was like, okay, cool, through them, shit. I moved that oven cause I wanted the oven with self-cleaning on it Moved that oven into my truck, moved that dishwasher, disconnected everything and put that in the back of my truck and drove that shit up to Virginia like a little bit past the state line and put that, got the new shit, brought it into the house and connected everything. It's been working well ever since, shit. But I understand what you're saying the Airbnb shit, like it's Atlanta. I mean where was it? Where was um?
Speaker 2:Okay, so like, because, like, if y'all didn't know, like I literally went to TwitchCon. I was at home for a week because of the hurricane and then I went to, like dreamhack, so what, I didn't have much time to be like whatever, I just had to like, I saw and I picked or whatever, but it literally was downtown. So downtown atlanta which I've stayed downtown atlanta before airbnb, no problem it was, it was amazing like Airbnb. So I was like, okay, cool, and they said it was a condominium. So I was like, alright, cool, I'll be good.
Speaker 1:No, it was, it was not, it was not good, and then you're saying that the con itself didn't like it didn't like it didn't add up to, I guess, the hype.
Speaker 2:So I wouldn't say it didn't live up to that. I'm saying that like for the price they were charging for it. Yeah, it wasn't it, especially after I found that that the year previous to that that like one day passes were like $10 and like three day passes were $30. So you literally like increase that amount. Yeah, now we're like a hundred and something dollars for a three day pass. Um and so like where they had it, you know where Momo con is right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So right right across from there where they have the um, the georgia world congress center, that's where it is and so it's like yeah, so it's like in a big, it's like in a big open area which it kind of works and it kind of doesn't like. If they I think it would have been better if they had it where mobile con is because these were mobile con is you have like closed off rooms where you can do like panels and like that kind of stuff, like you're trying to do like a game show right in the middle of like the con, where like everything is open and everything is like going on. So like it was just like that. But I mean, if it was like back to where it was, like 10, 30 dollars and yeah, yeah, definitely it's worth it, because you're gonna get more than that and the stuff that you come home with, obviously like this jacket, um, but yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's what's up. That's cool. Um, as I said time we talked, I got keloid surgery on one of my ears, going back for the other one next week. She did really well. Insurance paid for you know some amount of it at the HSA card and just use that to pay the difference. I mean it pretty quick, took like 30 minutes. It's kind of. It's kind of strange, like when they numb your ear and you just don't feel shit. But you know that they're cutting shit. You don't feel anything and it freaks you out because you're just like you're like this and you know she's just asking, just asking you. You good, everything all right. Do you feel anything? Because the last thing you want, the last thing you want to do is feel anything when there's a scalpel going here cutting that shit and scissors and all that shit.
Speaker 1:So it wasn't, it wasn't bad at all, it was actually. It was actually really nice. Um, she did a good job and um, now it's just the healing process. It wasn't until after the numbness went away, where there was a little pain, but nothing crazy. It was a little like like twitch of a pain here and there, but, um, it's like a tattoo, it's a scar, so you put like medicated, like a morning and jelly on it and just let it heal up. That's about it. It wasn't too bad, though.
Speaker 1:Um, also, I've been on a search of getting a second dog and, um, this is where I wanted to tell you it's funny. So I found a dog. Her name was Lizzo, right, a bully, bully dog, big head, like short body, but kind of longish, right, real good with cats, other dogs, kids, all that stuff. Right. Thing is I'm, I'm in north carolina, the dog is in pennsylvania, right, avondale, pennsylvania, right. So do the application. The applicant. They're like okay, you can.
Speaker 1:Um, just do the application, fill out the application, ask you everything, give three references. Where's the dog? How, I mean are? Give three references Where's the dog? How, I mean, are you going to be away from the dog? For how long are you going to be away from the dog? And I'm like I work from home, so not a lot. They're going to have another dog here with them. Tell me about the dog that you have. I'm like, okay, it's a pit. Boom, sunny boom. You know what I mean. Like boom, you know what I mean. Like shit, like that.
Speaker 1:And literally five minutes after I'm done doing the application, they're like yeah, sorry, you can't get this dog, what? Because of you have to be in a three hour radius. They want, they need to do home, they need to do like home checks to make sure that the dog is going to be in a good home, right, and has space, right. And then they, uh they usually if something happens, let's say you want to get the dog back, you're close. But I'm like, okay, let's think about this for a minute, with all the shit that we're like we're having a podcast right now, mics and video, right.
Speaker 1:I'm like I sent them an email saying I'm like I have no problem showing you the property, the room that she's going to have here, because she's going to have free room, just like Sonny does, does right the backyard and I mean just everything fucking else. I'm like, and if you want to do checkups on her, we can set up a damn zoom meeting or whatever, and I can just, you know, push the button to flip the camera and you're gonna. She could be chilling, eating some food, relaxing, and I just find that really crazy. I had to explain it to my sister, like, my sister told me what it was, but I was just like I think that is the most dumbest shit in the world that I have to be three hours away in the world that I have to be three hours away from in order for me to adopt this dog.
Speaker 1:And another thing is they want 350 for adoption. No, 350 for adoption. I might like what. I might as well just add another 200 and just get a. Uh, go to a breeder or something like yeah, like 350, come on man, you go to any other adoption agency. They're giving out dogs for like 25 dollars, like for real, because they're trying to get, they're trying to get rid of them that reminds me the other day.
Speaker 2:No, the other day I ordered, like, food for lunch and, like I, trying to get rid of them. That reminds me of the other day. No, the other day I ordered food for lunch, yeah, and I go to get my food and there's a flyer over my door and it's from the Humane Society trying to get people to adopt pets. And I'm just like crazy. You need to go there and get you a pet.
Speaker 1:Yo, it seems like you have to go to. You're a pet, yo like it seems like you have to go to. I hate to say this, but it seems like the kill shelters are the ones that are like yo, like, take these animals, let's find them a good home. You know what I mean. It's not a lot of, it's not a lot of crap with it, it's pretty simple stuff. Documentation, boom.
Speaker 1:You know, you have some time with the dog, see how the dog reacts to you, and most of the time these, the, the humane societies and stuff, really don't know how the cat interacts, how the animal excuse me interacts with other things. So it doesn't know how they act with children or cats. So they do go a little bit more into detail when you go to these independent ones, because they, you know, have a better relationship with the dogs and cats or whatever. But yes, you're independent. But 350 for adoption though, fucking out your mind. So that was something that happened today. That was kind of funny and I thought it was stupid.
Speaker 1:But you know, still on the search, still looking, it's something about that. That bully look like the big head, the big neck and everything Like I like that look and I think they're like the cutest shits in the world. I think they're really good looking dogs, man, really good looking dogs. And the one thing is having a sister that's a veterinarian. It's just like every like she just notices shit, right. And when I mean notice this shit, I mean detail shit. Oh, she has cropped ears, oh, that's gonna be a crazy ear infection. And I'm like, oh, my god, like I know, thank you, like I appreciate, I love my sister to death and I appreciate all the information that she had for you okay yeah, that's what I'm saying, like because I'm sending her these animals, and it's just like yes, no, yes, no, yes, no.
Speaker 1:You know all that stuff. So I really do like appreciate all that shit, for sure, for sure, but I don't know, it's just yeah, I never thought that trying to find a dog, I never thought that trying to find a dog, I never thought that trying to find a dog would be. Yeah, you know what I mean. It's tons of dogs out there.
Speaker 2:Why did you mute yourself and I still can't hear you? I literally cannot hear you. No, no, I'm sorry. No, no, no. Why do we do this like every two or three episodes? I swear like it's always something. Either your mic doesn't work or my mic doesn't mute. No, you're still muted on stream yards by the way. Okay, you hit me now yeah, he got it, I don't know what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 1:I have no idea, but anyway, um, yeah, I think it's um just going through that whole process trying to find the dog and stuff like that. You know, it's just certain shit that you have to deal with, that's all, um, but it was so. Then I'm trying to think was there anything else that actually did happen? No, I think that's. I think that's about it. Yeah, I think that's about it. Nothing too crazy, nothing too crazy, um, like I said, you guys off the cuff shit, so we just kind of rolling with this shit and everything. I guess you want to talk about the the what?
Speaker 2:Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:You do it.
Speaker 2:Oh, I got to do it.
Speaker 1:You do it.
Speaker 2:Fine, fine, fine. Alright, guys, we appreciate you guys for listening to us for as long as you guys have been listening to us. But we got good news we got invited to our first con To appear as like guests and creators. It is called Villains Con. It's in Rock Hills, south Carolina. It'll be November 1st and 2nd, so definitely, if you come, we will be there. We could definitely hang out, talk to us. You know all that good jazz, but yeah, we are super excited. I think we're going to do a live show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, try to.
Speaker 2:I don't know what we're gonna talk about. We haven't got that far ahead. So yeah, but if you guys are in the area or close by, definitely come by, check us out. You know, talk to us, we talk back. You know that kind of thing. All right, I'm done now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's definitely, definitely, very, very exciting to To go about and get that invite Kind of nervous about it. But you know, you just got to see what happens and kind of just roll with it. That's kind of the way that we kind of been doing this. Um, you know, hiccups happen, shit happens, and you know you just gotta, uh, I cannot believe that shit. Sorry, sorry, okay, um, I cannot believe it. Jesus Christ, uh, alright, um, I don't know why I'm so upset about that.
Speaker 1:maybe it's because of like, and look, you tried to give them grace earlier and I was like I don't know why I got so upset about that shit, but because I don't know shit, shit happens. But oh bad, jeez, oh well, no, okay, I was gonna say I was in Tennessee when we had the last um, the last yeah, you were yeah, I'm actually happy I'll probably get that reimbursement, but that shit is crazy in all, like 26 in all like valet, everything I was.
Speaker 1:I was just like this is a horrible mistake. And I got some colleagues in um vegas at another conference and they they were just fine, didn't have to do anything, just walk right in and just that's it. Um it think that would have been better you know, instead of me going up there and just looking fucking stupid I. It was embarrassing. It's embarrassing as fuck to go through that, because you know go ahead?
Speaker 2:no, because. I'm going to say, all right, I know what you make, but like you make more than the most average adult, right yeah now, mind you, if that's been like somebody else yeah, you've been asked out they would have been asked out like nobody is going to have that kind out. They were good ass out. Yeah, you would have. Like nobody's gonna have that kind of money, like just on hand, like your typical average person is not gonna have that kind of money on hand yep so like it would.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I get why. Um, it was because my colleague he brought that up too. He was like dude, if I didn't have the money for this, I'm telling you, I would have been sleeping in my truck. I would have went to a Walmart, went in there.
Speaker 2:That's fucked up, because why should you have to do that Because of a company's mistake, especially for your colleague because he came from overseas for this event? That should have been better. Either they should have called that in, gave them a card and be like, hey, this is what it is. That's why I guess I'm grateful for mine. They us like amit cars and blare right here, um, so they don't have to reimburse us directly, they just have to pay off the balance that we have.
Speaker 1:So like that part, but like yeah, that that would be amazing, but, um, you know, certain shit just don't go the way that it goes. Sometimes that's just the way it is Shit. Oh, I was. So I was actually trying to find. Ok, first of all, one other thing I want to talk about is Disney fucking plus. What about it. I don't know what the hell happened, but do you know Disney Plus and Hulu and all that crap they're like?
Speaker 2:all together.
Speaker 1:You can watch anime on Disney Plus now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you've watched it on all three.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but here's the shit. If the same shit is on Disney Plus, what's the point of me having this damn Hulu account?
Speaker 2:that's crazy. There's other stuff on there, but yeah, they they closely like kind of marry each other in certain categories.
Speaker 1:I saw. I noticed that I was watching the Simpsons and I was just going through it.
Speaker 2:Speaking of, I need to watch that, especially for the Treehouse of Horror.
Speaker 1:When did the Simpsons? When? No, I wasn't. When the anime get on disney plus, and I'm just like ain't this a bitch? These motherfuckers are like it because you get the bundle like I bought. I have the bundle where I have yeah, oh, I get the live tv. It's for, honestly, I got it for my mother, right? I want her to get away from cable you know you can get ipv tv subscription.
Speaker 2:Anyways, we'll talk about that later, but um you know it's crazy.
Speaker 1:I thought about that, but then I also thought about so this is so when it comes to like I can talk about this, when it comes to tech and stuff like my parents are calling me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the same for all of us. That's how we got here.
Speaker 1:Right. So it was um, my mother is all topic. But my mom was like. She was like I know what I want for Christmas. And I was like what you want, moms? And she was like I want a generator from timu. And I was like ma, I'm not buying you a generator from timu. And she was like but it comes with solar panels.
Speaker 1:I said ma no, no I am not buying that for you. If you want a generator, find something that is an actual generator that will actually do, you know, do stuff for you and help you. And I was just like. I was like because if that breaks, if it breaks, you're going to be calling me, you're going to be like Christopher, fix it, like you have to fix this. So I'm just like. I'm just like. I'm just like, yeah, we need to. If you want to generate it, we can definitely do that, but, um, definitely not going to buy it from you for Teemu, because I don't know how long it's going to last.
Speaker 2:Where did my camera go? What we got, the new angle it's because I have two cameras, but I think, my other one dropped off you know it's.
Speaker 1:I think I really do think, because of where I live, I'll be just creating power surges. I really do. I think I just have so much shit that I'm just like running out of time I could be doing something and my electricity just goes doo and just comes back going really quick, really really fast. It's wild. And then did you buy anything during that Amazon Prime Day? What?
Speaker 2:you were again um I ordered. I ordered the dress I'm going to wear for the wedding. Um, I ordered some new plates and stuff for my house, um, shit, I don't remember anything else. Let me. Let me look real quick. I didn't know. I got my Amazon credit card bill and they're like hi, hi, oh, okay, I got new filament, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I got an Apple Pencil for my new iPad that I bought a couple weeks ago I was thinking about that I got yeah, and then I, because I went to the 16 for my iPhone they used Type-C chargers so I had to get some chargers About time. Yeah, and then I got an electric scrubber, because I'm short and I got a standing shower and I don't feel like bending down to the scrubber brush yet. And then no, I'm still in the thingy, and then I also got a phone case, so yeah, that's what's up.
Speaker 1:I got some Blink cameras, which are actually pretty dope, and then I bought some mounts, which are actually pretty dope, and then I bought some mounts. But then I realized that the mounts are, you know, they come with screws and they should only be used for wood and I'm not drilling holes into my siding. So they make also on Amazon. They make these clips that you can attach to the camera and they just on a sighting. There's usually like a almost like a little gap in between some of them, and with that you're able to take these clips and just wedge it underneath and it holds the camera there at a certain angle, whatever angle you want.
Speaker 1:But I was trying to put it up at the highest point. I ain't got a letter that tall and I'm not trying to die right, because ain't nobody on the bottom of my holding it for me, so I gotta take my time with that. Um, so got that. What else did I get? Cameras, mounts. I bought a garage screen, so basically a screen that covers the garage door when it's open so that bugs can't come in, so I can just leave the garage door open.
Speaker 2:Alright, how much did you spend? I just want the dollar amount at this point. How much did I spend?
Speaker 1:Maybe like $250? About $250? Yeah, the cameras were like $170 something for like $5.
Speaker 2:How is yours cheaper than mine?
Speaker 1:Because you bought a lot more shit.
Speaker 2:Anyways, mine was like $376.
Speaker 1:You bought a lot more shit. What do you mean? Yeah, that's what I bought the cameras, the mounts and the screen. The screen was like on a deal. The mounts were on a really good cut deal and the cameras were on a really damn good deal. So, yeah, it wasn't bad. I'm going to send the mounts back, though. Were on a really damn good deal. Yeah, it wasn't bad.
Speaker 2:I'm going to send the mounts back, though, why I'm not going to use them.
Speaker 1:There's no point for me to just have them just laying around. Then I'm kind of cleaning stuff out. In my room I had these little cubby joints where I kept my shoes in and I came to the conclusion that a lot of the shoes that I have are not comfortable and hurt my fucking feet when I'm at the range standing around and walking around. So I need to get rid of some of these shoes. And, uh, I realized that the name brand stuff like the rebox and new balances and all that crap I don't. I don't wear jordans, I just don't. I'm not jordans on my shit. I really can't get into a uh shoot, it's not my shit. Um, I had one pair of Jordans in my life and honestly, it was the dumbest shit ever.
Speaker 2:My first pair. I got my first pair super recently, within the last couple years. It was like I forgot which number it is, but they're all denim. The whole shoe was denim Was it worth it. I didn't pay for it, Somebody else paid for it. He hates when I say that. What did you say? I said he hates when I say that you guys.
Speaker 1:I didn't pay for it. But, yeah, I need to get rid of a lot of shoes. I realize that the shoe brands that I like because they have a wide toe by like this is how I know I'm getting older, when I I'm actually taking into consideration, like the comfort of my shoes, like for real, for real, like Brooks Brooks were are the best shoes that I've worn so, much to the point where I bought my father and my stepmother a pair Like cause they were in good and getting into my hair. Huh.
Speaker 2:Where's my pair? I'm waiting Like where's my pair. I'm waiting like where's my pair. I hate you so much.
Speaker 1:I'll check it out, what size shoe you wear.
Speaker 2:I wear a nine and a half in women, and if it's guys it's an eight okay, but brooks are the most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn. So you want me to walk around With peasant shoes? You don't have peasant shoes.
Speaker 1:You don't have peasant shoes. You don't have peasant shoes, you don't? Let's stop the shit. It's kind of hard for you to say that when you got a jacket behind you that looks like that. That's actually really nice.
Speaker 2:So I highly doubt that I got for free, you have so-called peasant shoes get out of here.
Speaker 1:So um brooks merrill. Merrill shoes are really comfortable for me. I have a lot of pair different pairs of merrills. Regular Regular standard Crocs are really comfortable.
Speaker 2:I don't like Crocs like that. I only like one pair. I only like two pair of Crocs. I don't know where the other pair is. The ones that I wear pretty often are my baby Grogu ones that I got.
Speaker 1:I'm kind of surprised. You seem like the person that would be into those little um those little charms.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it came with charms. I didn't have to buy any. That's why I got those. Uh, okay, um, but yeah, for me she was. It's literally like my nikes um, from going to like war or something. Um, yeah, it's like he's against, like my. I have a pair of slides and then I guess the crocs. Yeah, I'm going like this war and then like, because winter's coming, it's a boot season, so I'm bringing them, yeah boots like still a.
Speaker 1:Thing.
Speaker 2:Yes, they are still super comfortable.
Speaker 1:Speaking of boots, my favorite brand of boots that I've had are Keen. Keen boots have been really nice for me. I like them because they also have a pretty wide toe box in their boots. I know people like Doc Martens and all that shit. I'm just like.
Speaker 2:I've been wanting to get a pair and I just haven't done it yet. So I'm like it's just this for you.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I can't do that, um, but yeah, comfortable, like I was like Jesus, these shoes all suck my new balances or shit because I warm at the range standing up all day, walking back and forth and all that stuff. I was like, oh my gosh, well, I'm driving long distance. I've been thinking about getting um like barefoot type shoes, something that's like more flat and has no like zero drop, just to feel that. And with barefoot shoes, you're not supposed to be wearing those all the time. You have to get your feet acclimated to that because we wear shoes with so much padding and stuff and like hokas, hokas, look so dope, they look really amazing.
Speaker 1:I hate, honestly. I kind of don't want to feel like I'm walking on a cloud because that's not realistic. It's not realistic at all and honestly, I think the the closest thing you can wear that's not like, and honestly, I think the closest thing you can wear that's not like Totally barefoot, but it's still kind of flat foot or converses, surprisingly, which are actually powerlifting shoes, but anyway, yeah, I don't know, um, but anyway, uh, yeah, I don't know. Man, whole bunch of shit. Now a lot of shit is going on, so meh, I kinda wanna say, uh wait, you already told them why we're going off this cuff you already said that, right, nope, nope, did, did not, did not, just keep it, got it, got it.
