Speaker 3 0:59

How about that?

Speaker 2 1:00

Think about that shit. We're going to talk about us. We're going to talk about our friendship and our connection and the links we have between everything. Yeah, I said to Casey on the last episode that I'm a prophet.

Speaker 3 1:13

Oh, boy, I am.

Speaker 2 1:15

Yep, I can A see the future. B I'm Nostradeto and I have the ability to just bring people together and and connect people okay, all right, all right, good for you yeah, okay, if I hit my head, my hat on this fucking thing one more time literally seen that happen I will be pissed anywho. There we go all right. You and I have been friends. For what?

Speaker 3 1:42

oh, 13, 14 years too long. 13, 14 years, yep.

Speaker 2 1:45

And we started out because I worked for your brother.

Speaker 3 1:47

Correct. Yeah, that's right. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 1:51

I used to build houses for your brother. You did Yep, yep. That's how we met.

Speaker 3 1:58

And now, and we've been friends ever since Ever since they told me you weren't the best person ever.

Speaker 2 2:03

Well, I wasn't, I'm still not, I'm dead out.

Speaker 3 2:06

Jerry is out.

Speaker 2 2:08

I live life dangerously.

Speaker 3 2:09

Oh gosh.

Speaker 2 2:10

Middle name danger. Oh, austin, danger Powers it's your power.

Speaker 3 2:17

Okay, oh, my God yeah.

Speaker 2 2:19

But anyway, for whatever reason, we met.

Speaker 3 2:21

Yes.

Speaker 2 2:22

I don't know how, and come to find out. We have a long, sordid kind of history together. Anyway, we do.

Speaker 3 2:29

Which is kind of weird.

Speaker 2 2:30

Yeah, because I think I met you like well before we ever met.

Speaker 3 2:33

So true. That is so bizarre and I think about that sometimes how long we've actually probably known each other, which is probably longer than the 14 years.

Speaker 2 2:42

Exactly, we claim it's 14 years. Yes, but because of the long sort of history.

Speaker 3 2:46

Relations and who we knew. Each other was probably more like 20, 25.

Speaker 2 2:51

And that's what I'm trying to get across to all the people that are listening. Right Is the fact that you know, I literally bring people together somehow, not by my own Right, this isn't something I'm like trying to promote no, okay, good, my own. This isn't something I'm like trying to uh promote no, okay, good, don't do that, I'm not. But you, you've got to sit there and say you know what you're, you're kind of right, because it happens, okay, right, there's like there are situations between the two of us, the four of us right, that you'd be like, yeah, only dead. Oh, could have pulled this off. And here we are.

Speaker 3 3:26

Yeah, yep.

Speaker 2 3:29

I am the only one that could have pulled it off.

Speaker 3 3:35

Well, it's just the circles of where we live, that the place we live in is very small, and everyone seems to be related to one another in kind of weird twisted way too. So it's like friends and friends and friends, and no one ever leaves here, no one ever leaves. People just plant themselves here, grow families here, and so it comes around full circle, and it's just weird how the connections happen. I will agree with you there.

Speaker 2 3:53

That's a solid fact. Yeah, I won't disagree with you, it is. It's small and it's, but people do leave and I, for whatever reason, I'm up in the middle of everything. I'm all up in everybody's business.

Speaker 3 4:05

You do know a lot of people here. You do know a lot of people Like your name just happens to be well-known around town, Correct, Right? So again, so anyone who knows you knows people that know you and the people that know you you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 4:19

It just goes down that whole ladder of people that know you Right, and so I bring people together Right, because I'm very pleasant. Okay, I'm very nice. Wow, cordial, thoughtful, enamoring. Let me know when I can vomit. Anytime, feel free, because I'm laying on it and I'm pretty thick, you most certainly are.

Speaker 2 4:43

But I do have that ability. I was talking withy on the last episode about how I have this ability and in the even in the beginning, I was like I was given this power as a young child and try to figure out how to use it correctly. Yeah, okay, but I mean it is what it is and there is there's things that happen all the time, right, and and it's what it is, and I want to take this podcast and turn it into something that makes people feel good and connects them with other people. Okay, so, oh, oh, did you listen to Saki, to me this time? Oh, did you hear this episode? How about this episode All of a sudden?

Speaker 3 5:19

bam.

Speaker 2 5:19

Yes, oh, you're that person. You're the person Ditto was talking about. Oh, you're that person. You're the person Ditto was talking about. Oh, ditto was doing this, ditto was doing that, blah, blah, blah. I'm a trampy slut.

Speaker 3 5:30

I was waiting for you to say that. I was waiting for you to say that.

Speaker 2 5:35

I'm a trampy slut, but I do have that ability. I do, and it's not like I want to sit here and say like I'm this person.

Speaker 3 5:44

Okay, then don't.

Speaker 2 5:45

I'm not Okay, I'm not that person. No, you're not, but I do have that ability to bring people together.

Speaker 3 5:49

You just happen to know a lot of people and people that know you know me, and that's how we kind of got connected to each other.

Speaker 2 5:56

Correct Right, and since then I have connected you to a bunch of people and you're thankful for it. Sure I am, because without me you wouldn't have had it, okay, you?

Speaker 3 6:08

would not have had it. Let's be honest okay, true story, yeah, we'll go with that okay you're right I'm cool you're not here we go I'm awesome keep going you've always been my best audience.

Speaker 2 6:24

Don't tell the other two, but be, but out of all of you guys, you're my favorite one. Just kidding, that's not true, jesus. You, you all serve your, your purposes, and I love it yes, yes, yes, yes oh god listen, when I first met you you already had something.

Dynamic Friendship Through Life Changes

Speaker 3 6:44

It was hysterical when I first met you and from then on it's just been like this whirlwind of ass-busting, just comic. I don't even know how you would call it. People just wonder our relationship, how it is.

Speaker 2 6:59

Tell us about the first time, the first time you met me. Tell us about what you thought and go with it.

Speaker 3 7:06

So, yeah, the first time I met you, you were introduced yourself and I was like, oh my God, who the hell does he think he is? And people were like, yeah, that's, you know who he is and he's, you know, very pleasant and whatever. And I'm like, ok, and then you just grew on me because you were always like this charming kind of ass busting kind of I'm trying to think of the other words to describe exactly who you are but you had this charismatic way about you and it kind of I think honestly, that's what people like about you, because you just sometimes don't always take everything so seriously. You kind of make things just fun and I think people need that in their lives. And I just kept me going back to say, oh my God, what's Matt going to say now? What's?

Speaker 1 7:59

what's he?

Speaker 3 7:59

going to do now? What's he going to do now and how is he going to act and what's this? And and of course, I worked for the construction company. So you idiots had me going all over the place and doing all these stupid things and all you just kind of grew on me. So, um, yeah, it's just been this way for the past 14 years. I just, I don't know.

Speaker 2 8:17

We just get along very well is it safe to say that you still wait for me to figure out what I'm going to say next?

Speaker 3 8:23

uh, I don't wait for it, I just anticipate it because it's just comical like I just look forward to like, okay, what's he gonna say next?

Speaker 2 8:33

the rest of you guys out there, uh, anticipate or waiting, it's the same potato, potato whatever, stop it.

Speaker 3 8:43

Listen people. He always has something to say, always something to say. I can literally be standing Silent in a room and I get sucked in To the abyss of whatever is going on. I have no idea, no idea.

Speaker 2 8:59

That's untrue.

Speaker 3 9:01

It's so not true.

Speaker 2 9:04

It's untrue.

Speaker 3 9:05

Okay.

Speaker 2 9:07

Seriously. Most of the time I leave you alone, I do Just because you're standing there doing nothing. Okay, seriously, most of the time I leave you alone, okay, I do. Just because you're standing there doing nothing doesn't mean I'm just going to start poking fun at you for no reason.

Speaker 3 9:16

So much lies right there. It just happened five minutes ago. We all had a whole bunch of us were all hanging out and I walked into the room and you're like and blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 2 9:27

I'm like, I just walked into the room Wow, you know, you think you know your friends. You think you know your friends.

Speaker 3 9:37

It wasn't in a mean way, it was just you made fun of me. I think I have sometimes this big tag across my back that says poke fun at her, all right.

Speaker 2 9:56

That one caught me off guard. That one caught me off guard. Obviously All right, that was funny. You do have that tag on your mind.

Speaker 1 10:04

I do.

Speaker 2 10:05

You do, and we'll get into that in one second, because I want to go into the whole thing where I told you we should have sold tickets to our show. But oh, now I forgot the fucking question I was going to ask.

Speaker 3 10:20

Oh boy.

Speaker 2 10:20

It was about us, Like we have endured a lot over everything Correct. Everything has happened. Like you know, it's hard having a female friend when you're a male, especially when you're married.

Speaker 3 10:34

It's vice versa, right? No, yeah, yes, I get it, yes, it is and you, you have to explain it.

Speaker 2 10:40

It's like the more you explain it, the more you look guilty and it's like I, you know what. No, I'm done with this. Yeah, you should be allowed to have female friends as a male heterosexual male. Yeah, you should be allowed to have female friends as a male heterosexual male. You should be able to have female friends that you don't have any kind of I don't know encumbrances with.

Speaker 3 10:59

Yes, correct, and vice versa.

Speaker 2 11:01

And vice versa. Right Females should be able to do the same thing.

Speaker 3 11:04

Exactly, I had more guy friends growing up. I've always had more guy friends. It's just the way it was. Because girls can be such bitches, that's true. And I just got along better with guys, and in your case, probably the same thing.

Speaker 2 11:17

No, it's the complete opposite. I've always gotten along with females better than I've gotten along with males. Correct, that's a lie. Because I get along with each gender, the same Right. I get along with guys as well as I get along with women Right. And at this point in my life, right now, as I stand, here I am, and all I have is women friends, women friends.

Speaker 1 11:41

Right.

Speaker 3 11:46

All my guy friends have left because of that divorce and that debauchery and that craziness and all that sinisterness that has evolved.

Speaker 2 11:52

And here I am. I'm not stuck I don't want to use the term stuck because I'm thankful for all of you Seriously but here I am. It's all estrogen, it's just straight estrogen. It's true, I feel like I'm on a cycle. I need dudes to hang out with. I want to watch football, time out Porno and books about war. Oh God, I want a nice average house with a nice Harvard floor. Dennis Leary.

Speaker 3 12:23

Yep, no shit.

Speaker 2 12:24

Give him credit.

Speaker 3 12:24

You have guys that come over too. It's not just all women.

Speaker 2 12:27

Wow, that sounded sexual and I didn't care for that right there okay, you no at all, but you have guys. But you could. You could admit as much as anybody that my actual, whole, I don't know existence, or my, my routine or my, my lifestyle or whatever you want to call it, has changed yes, oh, and it went from being male friendly to female friendly yes, 100. And so it's like I just at this point I just hang out with women. Yep, I love it.

Speaker 2 12:58

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining yeah but it's not like people would anybody on the outside looking in would look at it like, oh, he's got all these women there, yeah right dude, it ain't like that, it's, it's not like that.

Speaker 2 13:11

I'm trying to get back to myself, right, trying to put myself back to where I was, yeah, and this is now. I have to fight against this too, right, and you and I. This is supposed to be about our friendship, yes, and how we got here? Yep, and you were there, yeah, and you're still here, yes, and you realize that what has been said and what is thought about me, or anything like that, right, is completely untrue, untrue. And you ended up joining the podcast and I thought, from day one, t-bot would be fucking perfect, perfect, yep, because she's my best audience. Yep, and she always has been, because you worked at a bar yes, for a while yep, and we would go in.

Speaker 2 13:53

I would go in there. Yep, and everybody hated me because I was absolutely rude to you, obnoxious rude, rude, obnoxious, ridiculous.

Speaker 3 14:04

People were like what is he saying to you? Why is he doing this? Don't put up with that. That's awful. I'm like no hope. You really have no idea. Our relationship yep, it would be. It would be. People were like so when is he coming in? I want to see him. When's he coming in? We, I love the two of you together. You make so much fun of each other. It's fantastic. I'm like, oh my god, really. And it became a thing. It became a thing. It became a thing, a real thing.

Speaker 2 14:30

And I would say to you all the time what.

Speaker 3 14:32

You need to sell tickets for this shit.

Speaker 2 14:34

We need to start charging admission.

Speaker 3 14:37

It would be and he had a bunch of you, had a bunch of friends that would come in like all of you came in and bust my chops, totally Like the entire time I was there.

Speaker 2 14:46

Yeah, it was like audience participation, right. Yeah, to just say whatever they wanted to you. It was okay, it was like a free for all, it was a free for all.

Speaker 3 14:55

And trust me, it was all nice, it was. Don't think he was really mean to me, they were all very sweet and innocent, but it was just fucking hilarious. It was fucking hilarious.

Speaker 2 15:04

Yes, and it was a great time Right, and we did a great job of it and you were a big part of it. Don't sell yourself.

Speaker 1 15:11

No.

Speaker 2 15:11

Yeah, there were. Sometimes we went overboard oh hmm, I get it.

Speaker 3 15:14

Yep, I'd have to actually say, seriously, stop.

Speaker 2 15:17

Yeah, and sometimes we listened and sometimes we didn't. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 15:22

Thank you.

Speaker 2 15:23

But that's how I knew that you belonged on this show, because you have been and, for all intents and purposes, are one of my best audiences. There's only one person who hasn't been on the show at all yet you know her. That is my best audience. Yeah, and we both know who we're talking about. Yep, and if you're out there, bren, it's you.

Speaker 3 15:47

It's you, there's your shout out yeah, because we have to start giving shout outs to people. We do, we do.

Speaker 2 15:52

I have one person that's a better audience than you other than that.

Speaker 3 15:54

And she has known you a lot longer than me.

Speaker 2 15:58

So that's probably why.

Speaker 3 15:59

Well, she's the first person I slept with Exactly. Explain that one, please.

Speaker 2 16:07

She is five days older than I am she. She is five days older than I am. She's my best friend. Yes and yes in the crib she was the first one I slept with.

Speaker 3 16:15

That's between the door and that's a huge line.

Speaker 2 16:18

That's the ongoing joke. Ongoing joke yes, and Brian, I love you.

Speaker 3 16:23

Yeah me too.

Speaker 2 16:27

Yes, yes, yes, yes. So that's how we got there, but you and I have been able to keep this relationship for 14 years, through thick and thin, through everything.

Speaker 3 16:36

Yeah.

Speaker 2 16:37

And I'll be honest with you, casey, and you are right now my rocks.

Speaker 3 16:42

Oh.

Speaker 2 16:42

Like, without the two of you, I don't know we certainly wouldn't be sitting here talking about this stuff at this point probably not we wouldn't have this equipment, we wouldn't have this podcast, we wouldn't have anything, but because you guys were there for me through all of it, like I was broken down, I was, I was yep, diminished to rubble oh, yeah, really, yep, you were and you guys helped me pull myself out of it and you guys were there for me and I thank you so much for all that.

Speaker 2 17:10

And yes, I'm still going to make fun of you, of course, blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 17:12

Wouldn't expect anything different.

Speaker 2 17:14

But man, I can't. I've told you both I can never repay you for what you did for me. I can't Because that was awful. Yeah, you went through being able to pick yourself up and along the way, because of you guys, I was able to pick a couple of other people up and bring them with me and be like listen, no, don't stay there, let's get up, let's go do something else. And it's just knowing people and knowing that you have help and stuff like that. And I really want people to start calling in and talking about stuff and getting into this and start making this more interactive, the whole podcast. I want to make it more interactive. I want people to call in and say things and talk about stuff because, let's face it, you and I, casey Keebler, we're all people. We all have problems. None of us are fucking perfect.

Speaker 1 18:07

In fact none of us are even close.

Speaker 2 18:10

No, we couldn't be farther from perfect if we tried.

Speaker 3 18:14

I'm wondering if there's like a chair in hell waiting for me at least. I don't know why they have steep restrooms, guys, but just saying.

Speaker 2 18:19

It's right next to mine. Pretty much Actually you know what? I don't think I have a chair in hell.

Speaker 3 18:26

I actually don't think I have a chair now. I actually don't either.

Speaker 2 18:29

You don't think I have one, or you don't think you have one.

Speaker 3 18:31

I don't think I have one.

Speaker 2 18:32

I don't think you have one.

Speaker 3 18:33

I don't think you do either.

Speaker 2 18:34

Mine's still up in the air? No, I don't think you do either Mine's a question mark in a bubble.

Speaker 3 18:40

I just say that as a joke.

Speaker 2 18:41

Cross our fingers. Yeah, it's been wonderful getting to know you and coming to this point in time and I'm glad you're on the show and I want to push this thing farther Me too, I want to push it better. Yep, and man, you're going to be a big part of this.
