Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. And we are calling, hey, this sounds tough. What? We're calling the Bronx. Now, I don't know anything about the Bronx, but it sounds tough. It does sound tough. Because we're calling Michelle. Michelle in the Bronx.

Yeah, don't fuck with her. She'll fuck you up. Oh. She's from the Bronx. Why do I keep thinking that? Is that where Jay-Z is from? I don't know. You're just saying a lot of stuff. Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying. Hello? Michelle! It's Tony and Ryan.

How are you doing? Hi, I'm good. How are you guys? Yeah, we're well. Sorry, the phone wasn't ringing and then we had a phone drama, but we're here now. Hello. That's okay.

Hi. Michelle, I just assumed that if you're from the Bronx, you're tough and I don't want to fuck with you. Is that a correct assumption? Yes. Oh. Okay, so now we've got California. I love that.

We've got California hot girls and Bronx toughies. Toughies. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. Okay, good to know. Yeah. Good to know.

Yeah, really good stereotypes we're starting in. Michelle has one of the toughest, strongest, scariest jobs in the world. Oh, what do you do, Michelle? I'm a pre-K teacher. Hey, those kids, kids are crazy, man. And they say some mean stuff. They sure do. I am being bullied every day. Yeah. Welcome to my world. Well, thank you for getting up and thank you for your service, Michelle. Yeah. You should get on the plane first. Michelle, will you approve today's episode? Of course I will.

Legend. Hey, this is Michelle from the Bronx and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today, and I mentioned this at the end of yesterday's show, this first confession, is it either fine or is it a crime? I think that I really like the question more than I'm going to like the confession because I think fine or crime sounds like normal or nah, but like more severe. Yeah.

Yeah. This is severe. Oh, no. Is this fine or is this a crime? Confession. I steal from corporations to feed students. Big Robin Hood energy about it. I'm a teacher in the United States,

so naturally I have two jobs to make ends meet. Well, isn't that a fucked sentence, statement? I tried to say both those words at the same time. Stame-sense. Stame-sense. My second job is working as a custodian at a fancy corporate and it has a fully tricked out break room with what feels like unlimited snacks and it's just like the most awesome place.

You know, like the stereotype of like a tech startup and they've got all the drinks and a coffee machine and a foosball table. We've got food and coffee here. That's fancy, isn't it? Chips. Fries. I just ate some salt and vinegar chips that we have on stock.

Bought them at Costco. Big girl. Because we are a tech startup. Yeah. Sorry. How many employees do you need to be the CEO? Oh, some people just one. And the one employee is the CEO.

I have a question. What's a custodian? Sorry. Cleaner. Oh, right, right. So you kind of like buzz around and yep. Okay. After hours, go in with the mop.

I see. Yep. Do we say that word here? No, we would just say cleaner in Australia. Yeah, right. Because I was like, sorry, I don't know what that is. I think it's an attempt to make it, I guess, more respectful. Yeah.

Less judgy maybe. Yeah, I see. I think it means that you are given a duty like you're in charge of taking care of an area of something. Like you're the custodian of it. Custodian of the workplace. So it's like tidying up and looking after it, keeping it all fresh, stocked up and stuff.

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I quite like that. I started to take snacks from the break room at the corporation and take them into the school where I teach because I'm a firm believer that it's hard to focus when your stomach is growling. Got to have a big lunch. Not a truer sentence has been statemented. And you just feel you know when you're running on empty. Yeah, and you just stop giving a fuck.

And you just can't concentrate. So the thing about this history lesson, you go, I don't fucking care. I'm hungry. I want a toasted cheese sandwich. Especially when you're learning about something that maybe doesn't come super easily to you. So most subjects, I just want a grilled cheese sandwich. So I'm an idiot and I'm always hungry.

Occasionally I start to feel bad about what I'm doing, but that swiftly goes away any time a student says, thanks for the snack, miss, I haven't eaten all day. Is it fine or is it a crime? Jail. I think, yeah, you would. I think it's fine. Yeah.

And I think as well if I found out that someone that worked for me, like Sophie and James, prime examples, they're right here. Prime examples of thieves. If I found out. Stickiest fingers in the biz. Okay, admit it. This is all a huge ruse. If I found out. Stickiest fingers in the biz. Okay, admit it. This is all a huge ruse. It happened so quickly.

Yeah, the prisoner's dilemma. We put them in separate rooms and Sophie's like, I don't know anything. James is like, I did it. I saw Sophie did it as well. Honor among thieves, you guys. But if I found out that people that worked for me were stealing food to like feed their family or feed their kids or whatever, I'd be like.

Obviously, you would sack them. I would be like, oh, what can I do to help? Like that would not make me angry. I'd be like, I'm so sorry that you're in this position. What can we do to help? Yeah, and they go, oh, if you could just solve world hunger, that'd be great. No, but like, yeah, that wouldn't bother me at all as a boss.

Imagine being a boss and like taking him to court and you just look like the most evil arsehole. Yeah. Like you couldn't. No, no way. Like even the head of legal goes, oh, we could probably take him. And then the head of PR comes in and goes, guys. Yeah.

Think about what you're doing. Yeah, I think who's going to notice fucking eight muesli bars gone missing? Yeah. Think if you've got a really small business and it is just you and one employee that comes in sometimes, you'd probably be like, oh, hang on. Take it easy on the bars, bro. Well, I can't afford to maybe. Fund the school.

Yeah, like maybe this is a bigger problem or we could run a fundraiser or something. This is a big corporation. It's a big corporation. I think that's fine. And most people don't eat the food in those places anyway. Do you remember when we, off the record, do you remember when we went to Spotify in LA and they had all those? I'm surprised I haven't closed that place down.

Same. They had all those snacks and no one there to eat them because everyone works from home. So me and Tony hit that fucking snacks bar fucking hard. I ate like 900 little cheeses. I haven't stopped pissing because of all the juice I stole. Yeah, so much juice. They had like Diet Coke there.

They had like canned soft drink. They had past tense. Yeah, they don't have it anymore. And they had a barista in there. I don't like non-coffees. We had nothing else to do. Oh, it was amazing. And because like no one works in there anymore.

I was like, no, I'm good. And they're like, oh, well, I guess I'll just go home then. I'm like, oh. She's just playing Candy Crush. We were like, well, we'll give you something to do. Send a couple of fucking flat whites our way, mate. Yeah. And so we ate all these cheeses and all those little things.

So like people aren't eating the food at corporate jobs anyway. Yeah. So I'm like, you're actually's our way, mate. Yeah, and so we ate all these cheeses and all those little things. So, like, people aren't eating the food at corporate jobs anyway. Yeah. So, like, you're actually doing them a favour because the turnover. Yeah, you're doing them a favour. Yeah. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. Grandpa ruined Christmas. Oh, he stole all this food from the school. Yeah. My dad has four brothers, so there's five boys. Oh, stinky. Smelly household. My dad has four brothers, so there's five boys. Oof. Brutal. Stinky. Smelly household.

Back in the day, my mum and all the other girlfriends of the brothers were back home for Christmas. Girl gang. Yeah. Like that. So the five boys come home for Christmas and they all bring a girl back. Fuck. That's quite nice though, isn't it? Isn't it?

Who was the first girl you ever like, oh, I know that your house was kind of like the crash house, so your mum probably met everyone. Yeah. But who was like the first girl that you brought home to, I know that your house was kind of like the crash house so your mum probably met everyone. Yeah. But who was like the first girl that you brought home to like meet your mum? Was it a big deal? No, because my house people stayed over all the time. Yeah.

Well, like when your mum met Bridget for the first time. That sounds like a fuckboy thing but it was actually like, yeah, like people crashed if they lived out of town. Yeah. I think. Yeah, like when your mum met Bridget because obviously she was in Melbourne. No, my mum met Bridget when Bridget and I weren't together yet.

Oh, that's good. But she claims that she knew. Mum's like, oh, I knew. I knew that you guys were, yeah. Really? Mums always say that. Yeah. I've heard.

Yeah, because you want to know how Bridget. I don't know. You want to know how Bridget tricked me into being her partner? How? So I think I've told you this before, but so mum was over with me in Bunbury because I just had a shoulder reconstruction. So she was like helping me out. She drove me from the hospital back home.

She stayed for a few days. That's nice. And I was on some like pretty heavy pain medication. Yeah. Now Bridget goes through phases where she's a migraine haver. Yeah. And she's gone through some like gets really bad migraines. Yeah.

So she came around one night. We were just hanging out because we were mates. We were mates for a migraine haver. Yeah. And she's gone through some, like, gets really bad migraines. Yep. So she came around one night. We were just hanging out because we were mates. We were mates for a very long time. Hanging out inside each other. We were friends for a very long time. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm friends with Sophie from work.

Sorry. So Bridge goes, oh, I've got a really bad migraine coming on, I think. Can I borrow some of the good painkillers? Oh, like I just need something here. Yeah. So then she'd have the good painkillers and she goes, oh, I've got a really bad migraine coming on, I think. Can I borrow some of the good painkillers? Oh, like I just need something. Yeah, so then she'd have the good painkillers and she goes, oh, I probably shouldn't drive home. Probably shouldn't drive home. Yeah, yeah.

And then she would just stay at my place. I've done something similar. And mum goes, I knew what she was doing. Yeah. It's a good strategy. I've done the same thing. Yeah. Yeah, like if you're too hard to drive home, what are they going to do, mate? You drive home? Yeah. Yeah. Or they crash. Like, a good strategy. I've done the same thing. Yeah. Yeah, like if you're too tired to drive home,

what are they going to do, mate? You drive home? Yeah. Yeah. Or they crash. Like, yeah, yeah. I said to Torb, I was like, oh, gosh, I'm like really tired. And he's like, do you want to stay?

And I'm like, yeah, okay. I was like, you can dig as well if you want. And he's like, didn't you say you're tired? No, I'm not tired. Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry. Suddenly I'm awake again. Full of energy.

Second wind. Second wind. Anyway. I think Kez came to a few family Christmases. Like bringing a partner to Christmas is like. That is a big deal. Is a big deal. I remember the first time I brought Torbs like to meet like my family.

What was that like? Yeah, well, he'd met like a few family members at random times, whatever. But they all, yeah, because we'd gone to uni together. So we kind of, they'd heard about him and stuff. Yeah. He's not just some young blow-in. Yeah. Some young toy boy that Tony's brought home.

Yeah. A little Christmas treat. Remember when I said, we've talked about this before, like when it was the first time he had sex on Christmas, it feels like a real naughty thing to do. Don't you think? It's like a real naughty thing. Like, oh, my God, like it's Christmas Day.

Anyway. Let us know in the episode thread if you also think that's a naughty weird thing to do. Yeah. So granddad's ruined Christmas. Obviously not in that way. All the boys have brought their girlfriends back. Grandpa bought all of his son's girlfriends a gift

to welcome them to the family. Oh, that's quite nice. The five girlfriends, including my mum, opened their gifts, which to all of their surprise were vibrators. That doesn't sound like a ruined Christmas to me. That sounds like I might have a nap after lunch. There's just a chorus of. Yeah, everyone's going off to.

But everyone's is on a different speed. Absolutely shocked at the accusation of them being vibrators. My grandpa goes, no, no, no. They're massages. To be fair, the packaging did say personal massages. So he thought it was like one of those things that you like use on your neck or something. Oh, ladies, wouldn't this be nice, a little massage?

And they've all gone. Speaking of fucking on Christmas, it sounds like. Now, this confessor is anonymous, so I can't credit them for this, but I appreciate it. I know Tony is going to say there is just no way that he didn't know they were for your puswa. Yeah, I mean, I was about to say, make a joke about like my neck, my back, my pussy and my crap.

My search, my pussy and my crap. So I did some research. Until about 1980, vibrators were only used by about 1% of women in the world, usually by the wealthy or just as a fun novelty thing in adult films. Yep. They weren't like commonplace for the common man. Totally.

So my grandpa probably had. It's like an empowered sexuality thing too. Yeah. Like which has only kind of come about. So she said my grandpa back in the 80s just would be so far off his radar that they even existed. He was like no idea. Yeah. Like which has only kind of come about. So she said my grandpa back in the 80s just would be so far off his radar that they even existed. He was like, no idea. Yeah.

It definitely doesn't sound like a creepy granddad thing. No. It sounds like he's like, all the ladies are coming, I'll buy them something. Oh, those boys of ours are such a pain in the neck, I'll get them. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.

That was probably literally what he said. They also said, before you ask, I have no idea if they kept them. I was not about to ask. Sex toys are expensive. I was not about to ask my mum if she had the vibrator that my grandpa gave her when she was 22. And that is fairer fuck enough. What are you up to tonight?

Thank you. I work here. Thanks for coming in today, mate. I've got a driving question. Driving question. How do you merge? Oh, you're from Perth. You don't know this.

No. No one from Western Australia knows how to merge. Knows how to merge. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. Like a zipper is the answer, but please continue. Well, so I'd like to paint a word picture for everybody that's listening. Hopefully not while driving.

For you. I'm painting. Yeah. Or in the car. No. Two hands on the wheel. So I've got a question, right? Like this is the two ways you see it happen.

Are you supposed to hang back and join the line or are you supposed to equal parts drive up and then do the zipper, like everyone lets one person in? First of all, don't slow down. Okay, great. great helps no one so like in general if you're like oh i'm not sure what to do i'll just slow down no when in doubt fucking floor it no that's terrible advice but usually the zipper just means like one from each side and you kind of like you keep driving up. Yeah. And you kind of everybody lets one person in and it's fine. But I always feel like such a jerk doing that because it's the same

like when you know a lane's ending or you know that like there's people parked in the thing. Yeah. And everybody's waiting patiently. There's also that one jerk off that like drives all the way up and then pops their indicator on. But sometimes you're that arsehole because you don't know the lane's going to end.

Totally. And then you go, oh, I didn't know. I'm so sometimes you're that arsehole because you don't know the lane's going to end. Totally. And then you go, oh, I didn't know. I'm so sorry. Everyone thinks I'm not. I didn't know. But, like, is that what you're actually supposed to keep driving up? Because otherwise all the traffic banks up back down the road, right? Well, yeah.

Because if everybody's trying to stay in the correct lane, it's just like. I know. So if everyone did it in the last meter it'd be fucking chaos yeah but if you do it five k's in advance then you just narrow your five k's away yeah and you're just wasting a lane so are you asking where is the point where you start merging yeah like where is the actual right time to go yep i'll hop across because that lane's closed or it all merges into one lane or you know when

you're getting onto the freeway though or something and you kind of come off that's when you floor it you come down that ramp yeah fucking gonna so you have to be at speed by the time because you can't then be speeding up and you're doing 50 and they're all doing 100 but so the other day, right, I was driving to my sister's and she lives like 20, 30 minutes from me. Yep. And there's like heaps of roadworks around where she lives at the moment. I drove through there the other day. It is the worst. And there's no other way of getting there.

Yeah. Like you can't go around. No. You've just got to go through the guts. There's all parks and rivers. There's no. Yeah. Like it's not as if like, oh, turn left instead of turning right and it takes 10 extra minutes but, like, you end up there.

Yeah, no. There's actually no alternative way to travel there. And it normally takes about 20, 30 minutes but because of these roadworks, they're like actually moving a road and three lanes in the direction from my house to her house is down to one lane so they all cut off at the same point and they all go into this one lane and i had been there like left at night time like a couple of days before and been like fuck that's all closed next time i go i'll make sure i'm in the right lane.

Yeah. The far left lane so that I don't then get stuck trying to scooch over. That's good local knowledge. Be in the right lane to start with. Yeah. Right. It's like when you first start driving somewhere and you go, oh, during the day you can park there so don't go in that lane.

I think the first time I drove to the new office I got in and I went, oh, I didn't know the lanes and I just ended up ended up it was just a mess i was in the wrong lane and every time yeah it just fucks you and then you're the guy like with your indicator i'm trying to sorry we've got a new workspace i haven't driven to this place at this time of day yet i'm new in town i didn't know it was a school zone and there'd be cars parked here doing the drop off i'm sorry exactly um anyway so i um torbs and I were taking two cars because he was heading off somewhere else after. He left after me.

Yeah? How long did he get there before? About 15 minutes. So I've gone, I'm not going to be that jerk off that goes all the way up and slides over. I'm also not going to risk getting stuck right down the front and then can't get across. So I was like, you know what, I'll just slip into the left-hand lane

and I'll just let the traffic do its thing. The traffic did not do its thing. I was parked there. It took me over an hour. To get from your place to Libby's? To Libby's. That's not that far. No.

You could have walked that in an hour to get to Libby's. That's not that far. No. You could have walked that in an hour. And the part where I got to, I was about three minutes away from her house for 40 minutes because of like where I was situated when that's normally all open. I'm like, oh, cool, I'm two minutes away. Yeah. And it took 40 fucking minutes to get from that point to her house. That place is fucked.

It's crazy at the moment. And so I said to Torbs, I was like, oh, so what lane did you go in? And he goes, oh, I drive this way to work sometimes and I found that like going up in the other lane and then doing the arsehole thing where you try and get across. But because it's three lanes turning into one, that's a lot. Double arsehole. That is so much.

It's too much traffic getting into one lane. Yeah. Well, you just got to do it. What are you going to do, sit there for an extra 40 minutes? Well, like the jerk-off I did, that. Yeah. And the other thing is, though, not everybody's letting one person in. No. Everybody's out for themselves. They've had enough. And so, yeah. Where is it? The other thing is, though, not everybody's letting one person in.

Everybody's out for themselves. They've had enough. Where is it? It is Luxembourg. They are governing themselves. Governing themselves. Because you go, oh, you know what? I've sat in this traffic for 20 minutes.

I've got somewhere to be. I'm not fucking letting someone in. And it just fucks the whole system. So I think that what collectively we actually need to do is decide whether we're doing the zipper and then no one everyone agrees to not call me an asshole or do i just keep doing what i'm doing and then i'm the nice guy letting people in but do you think as society do we decide zipper or are you saying or the alternative as a society we just go it's fucking on like donkey yeah everyone can go fuck themselves it's one for all and all for none. Sure. Yeah.

But like what would you do in that situation? Would you drive up? I'd go home. Turn around, do a Yui, fuck off out of there. Go to an artist at lunch. Yeah. I'll survive. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. No, I think I was in that same thing on Saturday. Dare I mention going to Barbecue's Galore. Oh, yeah. But I went up there again. It's a galore. Yeah.

Not a galah though. No. As we've found out in the comments. But we were stuck in it and it went from like because we had Mabel and it's like there's a nap schedule. She has to eat at certain times. Yeah. Do we just turn around? Do we go back here?

Do we just pitch a tent? But it's the only way you can go. There's no other way. You can't go the back way. This is the way. What would you like to see people decide? Well, I think if people are willing to, if I know going into it that everyone's going to let one person in or that I have

to let one person in, I'm actually fine with that. But it's because then people don't respect the system because not everybody's letting people in. You have aged 27 years in the last 10 minutes. But not everybody's letting one person in. It's the system that people aren't respecting. But they aren't because otherwise we wouldn't have this problem. And then so that I didn't look like a fuckhead, I sat there

and it cost me like my whole day. I'm surprised you made it in today yeah i know it's it's fucking tough out there it is i just i think well first of all libby needs to move yeah closer to me that east north link is that going to be awesome when it's done or is it just going to be a pain in the ass for 10 years while they build it see this is the thing they say oh that'll be done by 2022 fucking 12 years years later. Yeah. It's 2034. That was good? 2034.

Carriers are free. Yeah. Last Wednesday. Forward that one. Time zone. Yeah. Oh, yeah, daylight zomings. Yeah.

But you know what I mean? Like then nothing's fucking happened and it's still the same. But then anyway, so I get to the very front of this thing and I'm like, cool, I just need to turn left and from that left I'm 30 seconds away. Yep. And someone had broken down in that one single lane. They've probably run out of petrol.

They've been idling for fucking an hour. I'm only two minutes away. I didn't expect to have the engine on for an hour. Their battery was flat. Yeah. And so they've pulled over. Someone's pulled over to put jumper leads on their car yeah and then there's like a market around the corner all these people are trying to get parking spots

on the street there's just that much calamity calamity calamity so much going on but i just i think i just need to know what i should do in that merging situation you need to sit in the back seat with pippa and just let your chauffeur torbs be an arsehole and do what he needs to get done. So then I pulled up to Libby's, right, and Torbs is already parked up front. He's had a bowl of curry already? Yeah, he's heading home. He's had cake already.

And he goes, oh, yeah, like, what are you, like, where did you get stuck? And I was like, in the lane, letting arseholes like you fucking cut in front of me. Like, I'm the one that paid for your extra time. Yeah. I copped that for you. I should make quarterly hour, right?

Yeah. I got a you love to see. Well, I've got two you love to see it because I don't think the first you love to see it counts. Okay. It starts as you love to see it, but you let me know when it's no longer a you love to see it because I don't think the first you love to see it counts. Okay. It starts as you love to see it, but you let me know when it's no longer you love to see it. Okay.

Tapa Sharon. Hi, Tapa Sharon. Is this Sharon Bosworth? From Ballarat? Shazza from Ballarat? No, I don't think so. Anyway. My husband, Brett, and I are going on our first overseas trip ever at the ripe old ages of 56 and 53.

Whoa. We've gone, finally, we're going to do it. We've never been overseas. Let's get out of Australia. Let's go. Probably been saving forever. That's awesome. Now, on a scale of you don't love to see it and you do love to see it,

where are we at? Oh, I 100% love to see that. So we've booked a cruise. Oh. Well, I'm not going. No I 100% love to see that. So we've booked a cruise. Oh. Well, I'm not going. No. Which I love to see. I don't think Brett or Sharon was inviting you.

Yeah, that's okay. But them going on a cruise, great. It's not me. We don't have to go. And we're not cruisers and that's okay. I think they'll have a whale of a time. Watch out for the Bermuda Triangle though. I don't like it.

Which is why I brought it back up. You'll have to see it. I love to see. They're getting out, getting amongst it. That's great. I'm hoping to become highly addicted to the sea life and have many more cruises and overseas holidays in the future. I think that a cruise, that's gateway travel, isn't it?

Well, because you stop at a place and you can get a little taste. Get a little taste of some different places. You also, like some people aren't keen on flying. Yep. You know, so I think it's like gateway to like being overseas. The plane of the ocean. I've heard that before. So my backup, you'll have to see it.

Great. Is Lisa, who's a tarper in London. She met up with some other tarpers who she's never met before. They all caught up and have a beer. So you'll have to see it is saying hi to Lisa, Holly and Campbell that all had a brewski together in London. A little impromptu, off-the-cuff meetup. Well, Sharon will probably be there soon.

Sharon will be there soon. She'll be docking? I wouldn't say that. Okay. I wouldn't say that. Well, she'll be docking. Especially with her husband, Brett. Sharon and Brett'll be docking? I wouldn't say that. Okay. I wouldn't say that. Well, she'll be docking. Especially with her husband, Brett. Sharon and Brett will be docking? And you could meet up with them at the

dock. Cock dock. Sorry. That's amazing. You love to see that. Both. Too good you love to see it, I think. Okay. Except for the first one. No, we love that. Except for the first one. No, we love that. My love to see it is from Lynn, who sent this through on Patreon. Lynn says, I saw the cutest thing today and I think, we love that. My love to see is from Lynn, who sent this through on Patreon.

Lynn says, I saw the cutest thing today and I think you'll love it. I was driving home from work and there was a fire truck in front of me. We were stuck in a little bit of traffic. Probably couldn't get through the fire merging. On a small road and there was this mum with her two young kids who were wearing fireman's helmet and walking along the side of the street. Like they were just going for a walk and these kids are obviously dressed up in their favorite like attire um the kids got super excited seeing the fire truck says lynn and i saw them like waving at the fire truck obviously hoping

they would like beep the horn or put the siren on or something the mum got waved over by the fireman and they passed down a little fire truck toy and a kid's like little coloring book thing um that they must just like have in the glove box so if they see kids yeah they go oh here's a little firetruck toy and a kid's, like, little colouring book thing that they must just, like, have in the glove box. So if they see kids, they go, oh, here's a little bit of merch. Is it merch? I don't know. Sure.

Here's something, like, for the little one. Yeah. And Lynn said, it just warmed my heart after, like, a long day of work. I'm stuck in traffic. You do love to say that. And these firemen go, oh, yep, like, we've got something for your little ones.

They've got riz. It's the danger, isn't they do have rears it's the danger isn't it i mean it's the danger of all three of those things i mean all three are respected but i feel like the fire department just has rears i think that it's the fire department because they always do that calendar it's the calendar you know and they're leaning into the rears yeah i i love to see it and i think um we've had a few you love to see It's similar, like people seeing cops or ambulances or whatever, that fucking like pop the siren on or say hello to kids. But I just thought that was stuck in traffic but they still, you know, had a little summer.
