Been a little while. Yeah, took a little break. Not I mean, should we've been calling a break. I just feel like these past couple of weeks, our schedules have been crazy. So I guess that's a good way to begin. It's sort of just a catchup of what have we been doing? Why? Why couldn't we do a podcast? Yeah? I mean in between like just the work that we have here and just we were out of town a few times. You were out of town for a little bit.
I was out of town for a little bit, and we haven't been able to connect to have a sit down for this pod in a minute, but we're back finally. Can I just reiterate too that we do this out of love, out of just our own free time. We try to, you know, carve out free time to do these episodes. We don't get paid for it. Hopefully that will change soon. Side note, I guess that's where I could start off with what have we been doing? Yeah?
I recently got a meeting. Do you remember a few episodes ago I talked about a virus one of my viral well, one of my TikTok videos went kind of low key viral, and it was about that Forsteer Gardens in Fresno, the underground gardens that is still getting views and likes to this day, and I think I was excited. I was like, Yo, i hit one hundred thousand likes. I'm over half a million likes. I'm gonna it's over six hundred. It's gonna go seven soon. Because it's every day I'm
getting alerted that it's still getting viewed and commented. And so fast forward to a couple of days ago. Got to meet with the managers at Forsteer Gardens and they might sponsor the podcast. Mike, Mike, We'll take it. We'll take it. Yeah, So I'll take mics because hey, the interest is there. But it's it all happened through that video. Yea. But yeah, you said that earlier. You said, you know, we were going out of town and stuff. You've been doing some fun stuff. Yeah.
Man, I was actually in Disneyland last week. Of course, right now they got the Halloween I forget what they call it. What do they call it the Halloween Spooktacular? I'm not sure. Saw. I was out there just for like a day and I was in Anaheim. It was cool though, I had it at a good time. It was just like I didn't really consider it like a vacation. It was just like a couple of days that I took off and just went down there just to decompress a little
bit. But you know, back at it. Glad to be back, Glad to be back on this podcast, because like you said, it just felt like a really long time. And it's not that we haven't wanted to it's just we haven't really had the time to correct me if I'm wrong, But I think one of the podcasts you just teased that you were gonna go to that one place that had all the Star Wars collection. Oh yeah, yeah that was and then I forget about that too. Yeah that was actually
like even three weeks before that. Yeah, yeah, so that was the rancho Obi won. This guy's name a Stamp sand Swede, and he has the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia. And so he has this ranch in Petaluma, which is like in the Bay maybe like thirty minutes past San Francisco, forty five minutes and I just went up there for the day to check out his collection. They do like a tour of
like twelve people at most and it's literally like at this dude's house. I mean, you don't go inside his house, but he has like all this land and he has these buildings in the back. He actually has like chickens back there and everything. But he has these rooms where he has these collectibles and just anything and everything from over the years of Star Wars, from the
beginning of Star Wars till now. His collection was crazy. I posted a little video about it, and I think we only saw, like he said, like five or ten percent of his collection, which was wild. He shows, Yeah, he has like offsite buildings that he stores even more stuff, but he likes to keep the cool stuff there. It was interesting, man, because I know the mecca, the holy Grail of Star Wars toys
is the little bubble fat action figure that came out years ago. Was the first one, and it had this uh you could shoot rockets out of his out of his back, and they never put them out. There was different stories why, either like a choking hazard or it didn't shoot properly. But there's some prototype stick have gotten out and he asked three of them, and I think recently one sold for almost three hundred thousand dollars, so it was cool. It was It was a good time checking out that. But yeah,
I actually forgot about that trip to two questions. I have. Number one, do you pay to go to go on this tour? Yeah? So the tour is like I think sixty bucks a person. It's about two hours. Yeah, it's about two hours. And then the second thing is at the end of the tour, just like other places that do tours, is there a gift shop where you could buy things? There was, but do you just buy things off where you go? No, there was, but I was actually kind of disappointed with it, Like they were like,
oh, yeah, you can buy some stuff, and I was. We came kind of towards in and I was like, Oh, where's it at and it was just like a closet did he opened and there was like a few shirts hanging in there, And I was like, they're saying a gift shop, like just like a few shirts. Well, because the whole tour yea all that, but I mean he could have like some merch but I end up picking up a shirt anyways. But yeah, I mean it was cool. If you're a Star Wars fan, it's definitely something to check out.
You know, it's in pedal Lumitz right here in our own state. It's cool. I mean I wish I got to do fun stuff like that to say why we were busy, But I was just busy because of work. Work busy. At seven days a week over year, the schedule has just been crazy where. I mean even my boss is forcing me to take week days off for my so it could be my weekend because I'm working every weekend a couple more weeks. I think mid October is when I'm kind of
going to get back to a regular schedule. Well, here's the thing about our business is that things actually do start well. I mean every business really, things do really start to slow down a little bit towards the holiday season. I know October is going to be kind of packed and then it'll start to slow down come like November, right, I think, So are you telling me I October? Yeah? Mostly, I mean we got the Fair coming up, so no, man, so many things going on, but
we're back on this podcast. This one's gonna be Phone one, This can Give Me Fire podcast with up. I'm just out as John Magic and we are back. The title Needs and Wants and this kind of just stemmed off me driving around and then needing to fill up gas and just seeing how high the prices are, and there's a piece of me that wants to say, no, I'm not gonna fill up my car because it's just too much, and then you go, oh wait, I need to. Yeah, I
crept over five bucks randomly. I didn't really see that one coming. No one was talking about prices. And then I've been kind of seen it like oh damn, this is like over five bucks, and you kind of drive around looking around like, oh damn, this plays almost like six bucks. Now. Yeah, I was starting to be okay with the three yea three fifty and that was like an Arco. Yeah, which, by the way, side note to gas, I always get weirded out where there's gas stations
right across the street from each other. Two gas stations. Yeah, one is like three bucks, the other one is six But there are still people that go to the six dollar one. Mean, what's the mental of that. I don't know. Something I don't know. Convenience I don't know. I go to Costco. I do Costco gas. It's a little bit cheaper than a lot of places. I take advantage of that. I know they have like big lines, but a lot of times it's not as long as
it feels or it looks. I used to be a seventy six guy that like I always well, I'm just saying back then, I just remember, this is the only gas stations I go to. And then then yeah, I start getting expensive, and I'm like, now I'm an Arco guy, because Arco was at the time like super cheap, which is Valero. But I was kind of I saw a video on on the Mental of the gas stations being across the street from from me each other, and people still go
to the expensive ones. They say that it's different things, but they say sometimes it's sort of like how I was thinking, I'm a seventy six guy. Yeah, some people are like that, like the brand yup that they stick with routine. They don't want to switch up their routine. So I was like, I switched the mind for the cheaper one. Yeah. But basically back to the needs and wants. That's what SEMs the episodes. What are some other things that that are super expensive but yet we either need it
or is it just because we want it? Okay, Yeah, so we put together a list of things and by the way, this a lot of this, This is just our you know, our personal personal expenses. Hopefully you could relate to it. Some of you may not because some people can say I would never pay for that exactly. So it's you know, it's it's person by persons scenario. Something something that may be important to you may not be important and to me or you magic or whoever. But this is
our own personal needs and wants, I guess. I mean, I'll give you example of one. Something that can go either way is gym memberships. Oh, that's a good one for me. It's a need. Yeah, it's a need for me. Now. Recently, I was at a different gym that I was paying a lot more than my new gym I mat right now, and I'm enjoying this new gym, uh, you know better.
Nothing against the other gym, but this one is you know, a little more cheaper, and it's it works for me and in this new energy and vibe that I'm in of working out and weight loss, a gym is a need for me. Yeah, how about you, it's a it's it's a need and a wance. I'll say it's a want because I'm sure your complex
has like a gym, right or does it not it doesn't. Okay, well, then, like my my complex actually does have a gym, so technically I could take advantage of that, that is true, But I want to go to a better him man, and I want to be in the environments of people working out, which is weird because I used to be the complete opposite of that when I was growing up and I first got into working out, and I was with my dad and I would work out with him
and his friends and my friends. We'd all work out to be like a good five or six of us, and we sort of did that that Rocky Balboa would pick up anything in the in the garage and work out with it and we would blast the music. And I never liked the gym vibe. But you know, ever since then, I've gotten into the gym now and it's it's better. You know, I've gotten around two its, although it
still is very sociable, I'm sure if you experienced that. Like I walk in and I'm just like, man, these people are just like hanging out here. It'd be like eight people around one bench and they're all just like chopping it up, and I'm like, yo, we're here to work out, But you know, I do appreciate the equipment, you know, they have everything, especially the gym that I go to that now you go to. I enjoy the sauna. Yeah, I mean at the end of my
hour workout, ye sitting at the sauna for ten minutes. It's basically what I'm trying to get at is you don't need a gym to work out, you know what I'm saying. But I want to work out at this gym. So yeah, yeah, so we pay that that fee every month. Yeah, at this part of my life. That's why it's a need. Yeah, I'll give you one of my wants. I don't know, because I don't think you go to a chiropractor, but so that might be a
need for me though I have a chiropractor membership. It's one of those membership ones, and it's a want. Lately, I've been kind of seeing the price that I'm paying monthly and the price that I could be paying if I wasn't a member, and it's almost cheaper if I wasn't a member. Almost. I guess I would need to take advantage of it more to kind of make to make it worth it. Yeah, but yeah, a chiropractor is a want. For me, but I do see the benefits of it though,
Yeah you feel it. Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing for me is after an adjustment, I can feel the different Yeah. If it was one of those things like yeah I think I feel better, then nah, then yeah, it's probably just in my head. But this one I could physically feel the difference. And I'm actually close to Uh, I'm canceling my membership, just going one last time and then yeah after October, like I made cancel it, and then if I need to go, I'll just
pay the price, the full price of not being a member. Yeah. Oh yeah, you just said that might be a need for you. Yeah, I mean, because I always hear the benefits of it. And you know, I've been on this thing of like wanting to better myself physically and mentally, and that's like one area that that I feel could be improved. You know, I do certain things of what I can do, but that
that chira practor breaking your back and putting it back in places. I mean, I see a lot of benefits to that, So I think that might be something that I might be interested in. So you might have to talk about that. Well, here's the thing, that I feel like is going to happen. They have those like twenty dollars to try it once. Right, you're gonna get up, You're gonna get Do you have a personal one? Uh? Streaming services? Streaming services is something that that's a one because
I don't need all those streaming services. And I mean there's like, I mean, everybody has, every channel has their own streaming service at this point, and I have. I mean I got Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Disney, Max, Uh, you know, Peacock, all that ship. And I'm just saying, and they all raise their prices every so often. And it used to be we talked about this sometimes that you know, cable seems so expensive. It was like hundreds, and then you get rid of
cable because you get these streaming services. It's like, oh, man, like seven bucks here and eight bucks there, and it's like, nah, you can start to PCT's together, and now it's more than what cable used to be. And I can't help it because I'll literally have one streaming service for one thing. And the one that I could get rid of because I
don't watch that much would be Amazon Prime. But I liked the two day free shipping, so I keep it for that reason, and then they also have the football games on Thursday and then Thursday games and then like you know, I'm a big fan of the Boys, and the Boys is on there, and it's just like, damn, there's always something that keeps me locked into one. Streaming services definitely a want. I have Netflix that I'm paying for, and now I'm even paying a little bit because my mom has my
account to because they start charging if other people are using your account. I have others, but I'm that guy that uses my sister has accounts some of my friends I use, you know, my friends HBO Max and I actually just read that Disney is starting the test on cracking down. Now they're the
next to do it. I think I'm doing that right now because I use my sister's account and it logged me out, but it's saying to log back in, and I logged back in using my sisters log in, and and it goes into another page that says to finish the account, like type all these things that you need on I'm like, oh, hold on, yeah, yeah, Like I don't want to ruin anything. So that's why I sold my sisters, Like yeah, I don't think I'll be using your Disney
anymore because I think it's asking for too many things. And I think it's because of that. Yeah, they're starting to crack down now. Netflix started something and now all these streaming services are going to follow us. This is one it could be a need and want for me, And it's paying for the doctor, Like going to the doctor. Yes I have insurance, but we still get that out of page, out of pocket charge. Yeah, you got to pay this much. And sometimes we talk about this that sometimes
we feel like this is a scam from our doctor's office. Because my doctor will check my blood work and he'll say, Yep, things look good. See you in six months, will check you again, and then you just say okay, like okay, and then hundreds of dollars of out of pocket fees. Yeah, And then you go back six months and he's like,
yep, things still look good. Do you ever look at that paper and you see like a list of shit and you're like, I don't even remember doing any of this, but I guess this is all the shit they checked that happened to me recently. I just went in there for like a physical. You know what I'm saying. You take the piss tests. They do the things here and there, but really I just sat there, right, and then he I came back for like a follow up, which I mean
fucking could have told me over the phone. I come in, I sit down. He's just like he looks at my results. Yeah, everything looks good, So I'll see you in six months. Like, yo, I just came in here for you to tell me that you can't just email me that or something like into your points because they get that fee out of us
and then you get it in the mail. And I opened this up and it shows you know what my insurance took care of, and I just see a list of all these things that I don't even understand, and I'm like, I don't even remember doing any of this stuff. But I guess that's all the stuff they tested on me or something. I'm going to test out the theory because I have another appointment coming up in like five months and I'm going to cancel it. Yeah, and I'm just not gonna go and see
what happens. That might be the move man, because I felt that there was a point in time in my life, especially in the at the beginning of my career, when I was in that stage of like getting off my dad's insurance and like getting my waiting to get my own insurance, because you can have your dad's insurance until you're like twenty five or whoever you're under. Yeah, and then there's that time where you become a full time employee.
And for like a few years there there was a gap where I didn't have it. I was kind of just like raw dogging it, you know what I'm saying, Like not getting any like not going nothing ever happened to me, Like I was fine. And then as soon as I get health insurance, I was just like, all right, might as well take advantage of
this. But still like nothing happened to me. I was fine. This is the one part for me with the doctors, because we've talked about this in the pad pod past pod is the what is it the for your allergies? The allergy shot. Yeah, the allergy shot that I've been getting. That's a freaking game changer from my life because of the crazy allergies I get here in Fresno. And yeah, for four or five months I was out allergy free. Yeah. I could breathe fine, I could sleep better.
It was just so good and then after five months, I could tell wait, I'm getting symptoms again. Yeah. So when I went to my doctor's appointment last month, I was like, yeah, give me, give me that shot again. Do you feel good again? Oh yeah, okay. Yeah. It's so that's the want part, but it's kind of like a
need because it's worth it. I think that's a need for you, man, especially on these podcasts, like sometimes you were like struggling, we have to say breaks that might be, that might be in my next need to because what I get all the time is I buy Clareton all the time. I'm popping a Clareton, and it's just like I'm getting tired of having to pop these pills all the time, and I might just need that shot next. It's it's a game changer for me. How good I feel like with
everything, just everything with life, not dealing with allergies. You got one in you're in I cloud Space? Do you pay for I cloud Space. I've gotten that thing before where it says, hey it's running out, for example on my Gmail, you want to buy more space. I've no, I've never bought space. I just it's a need for you. Yeah, And it's weird because I'm somebody like that too that deletes a lot, Like if you go through my ship, you won't see a lot of extra bullshit.
But I guess I still have a lot because I got that notice, like yo, you're running out, and so I've had to like buy it, and so every month I pay a couple of dollars for some extra space. Yeah, yeah, that would be a want for me if it gets to the point. I think I even did this years ago where I just deleted everything. Fuck it, I'm starting over. Yeah, and if I kind of look back at it now, nothing bad is No, I'm not
missing any of that stuff that I deleted. So I did get that pop up just recently, so I might have to start deleting a bunch of stuff. Yeah, I I cloud spaces is definitely something that I needed. So recently. I just got my glasses, and so obviously this is a need I need, you know, for my vision, I need glasses. But here's the want part. I went to the to get my glasses and they had the deals. Buy one for seventy bucks, the other one is free
or whatever or fifty percent off whatever the deal was. That's what got me into this particular place. But the deal is, oh, you could only pick from these wackass glasses right there, and the one part is, no, how about you choose these nice glasses that are brand name and they look good. So I ended up picking those, which it was still you know, affordable. But what happens is, let's just let's just give it a
price of one hundred dollars for two glasses. Okay, I'm like, yeah, perfect, But what what happens is they have to add the certain lenses you're accessories, right, not even yeah, the things that go in it. Oh, do you want the blue light blocker? Do you want scratchers sistance? And of course I want all that, but it's not a need. And then one hundred dollars turns into six hundred dollars for two glasses, like yo, yeah, man, where did this come from? And then
so of course we just buy it. And so that's the want part. Yeah, I need because I need glasses, want because I want it to be Yeah, I think I'm actually gonna need glasses pretty soon. I just like refused to do it. But why do you say that? Because I can't see sometimes, Like sometimes I'll be like, yo, I can't read that, and I think I should probably be able to read that a little clearer. I remember I had glasses as a kid, and I sort of
like grew out of them. They said that I didn't need them anymore. My vision was like really good. But man, I might have to go back in time because it's reading has been a little bit more difficult. I see you being a contacts guy. That's probably what I would do. Yeah, I just I don't. I don't even wear sunglasses, you know, I just I don't like wearing glasses. So you're right about that. I would probably be a contact person. I mean, it's a game changer.
I've told this story many times through my years. I was like you, through like my twenties and a little bit of a little bit of my thirties, I just thought things were blurry far away because they were far away. Yeah see that. That's that's where my side like, I could see ship. But if it's like far, I'm like, I can't really see that, but I probably would be able to. For example, driving and then the exit is still far away, and I'm like, man, that's blurry.
And then I'm getting closer. Okay, now I could see it. Yea To me, I thought that was normal because it was far away. And even watching plays or get or live baseball games, you know you're watching far like, oh man, that player is blurry. But but to me, I thought that was and then got the glasses and there was a game. You're like, oh, I should have been seeing this this whole time. I was shocked. I'm like, oh wait, this is how normal
people can actually see far away. I could see the eggs, what exited is far away. I could see all the far away players clearly. So it's I think you would will be a game change. Yeah. I probably like it a lot, not to mention, probably like less headaches because I do begin headaches pretty often, probably straining my eyes a lot. Here's a want for both of us that I already we don't have to go too much
into this because we've we've had podcasts specifically about this. Yeah, but a want for both of us is getting hotels a nice one at that too. Yeah. Yeah, man, go back to one of our past podcast where I tried getting a cheap one and it was you saw how cheap it was almost got broken into Yeah man. Yeah, I'm somebody that always needs like I'm an Honors Member for Hilton, So I say, like, I had a lot of Hilton's. I can't be doing those little rinking deeks so much.
It has to be a good hotel and I don't really do airbnbs. A side note to a need. I was talking to my girl about this and she brought up one. I was like, oh, yeah, And the reason why I'm bringing this up for both of us because both of us don't have but she has, uh, she has a dog but also takes care of two other dogs and dog food and she they she says that she has to buy like they like giving the dogs the premium, you know,
good stuff, and it's expensive, but it's a need. So if you're listening out there, you guys are relating to that buying your pet food. I mean, yeah, but why does it have to be expensive because more of a want than a need? Yeah, but I guess sometimes it depends on I guess it depends on the dog too. Yeah, like this dog can only have this type of food. It's like they got one of those big pit bulls. So I don't know. I don't so I we don't own pets, so but that's an to me. Yeah, I guess I
get I get what you're saying. I mean, just like us, we could we could just eat whatever just to survive, but we get the good shit that we like. Right, that's true, that's true. Do you have do you have any more? Before I keep going? Similar? How about clothes? Obviously these are wants? Yeah, these are all wants. Yeah, go shopping. And I just missed the times where, you know, us working in this industry where a bunch of free stuff would come to
us anymore. Yeah, but lately yeah, with the clothes, I mean yeah, I always want all the good stuff. The brands. Yeah, I mean I learned my lesson too, because sometimes I try to buy off brand shoes and they're just uncomfortable aware. I think we had a similar podcast that we can refer back to where we talked about like brands or when when to pay a lot for something, when not to pay That was a pretty good podcast too, kind of goes in that same that same region. How
about your car getting fixed? Oh man, that's that's that's a need, right, that's a need, but it's annoying that it's a need. And the recent one that I went through was my trunk latch broke where it wouldn't latch anymore. So I did my research and called, you know, the car our place that I went to, and they're like, yet, it's gonna just the place to repair to replace it as eighty bucks. Yeah.
I'm like cool, all right, I'm on my way. I get there and they're like, yeah, so it's eighty bucks for the part, and but your total is gonna be three eighty Damn. I'm like three hundred for labor. Yeah. Like I saw a YouTube videos shows that I could do
this myself. I just don't have the equipment. Anything with the car always sucks because it never feels good when you have to fix anything right, Like it feels like you paid money and then you just get your car back, like how it was like all right, thanks, I guess anything repair world is always a need, but definitely sucks. Yep, That's basically what I was gonna say. It sucks that the car stuff is a need. We've always been good with maintaining our car because we have I've had my car for
years. Yeah. I mean, if you're on top of your car like we've we've been on ours, you should be good. It does suck, though, but like, as long as you stay on top of it with the oil changes and the maintenance it, that's a lot longer and it's less likely for those big things to happen. Yeah, there's always those jokes that they say where they ride it till the wheels fall off, then they get it maintained. Yeah. Yeah, we're like, no, I don't need
to. I don't need an oil change for like another couple more years, like a couple more years. Yeah, man, they tell you when you're supposed to. Yeah, that's I'm that guy, like the men the light goes on, I'm scheduling an oil change. They give me that little sticker with a reminder that's like on the windshield or it tells you, like when you pass this date, you gotta do it. The last one is more for me on my list, and it's a need slash wants, And that's
a certain DJ equipment. Okay, obviously for my profession, I need it, but then I want like the good yeah man, like they're you know, my controller that I own that I actually bought used years ago, still works. Actually it like works fine. I could still do parties with it.
But there was this new, shiny, new one that came that had all the bells and whistles, and it was a good, good, shiny penny that I had to pay, but that I wanted that I just wanted it, so I got it. But I need DJ equipment to you know,
do my job. It's kind it's kind of like our job here with like a you know, like the headphone situation, Like you could always go get some cheap headphones from some random place that would still work, but we are always getting the three hundred four hundred all headphones, and man, even those, like I've been through so many beats, I've been through so many monster headphones Sony's over the years, like literally hundreds of dollars I've been spent
on headphones over the years. But the live fact I had on the headphones this is when I was heavy on the DJing and the radio game. I was using the same Sony headphones that I loved at Guitar Center, when you would buy the very first one you would buy, you could buy for an
extra hundred the warrantine warranty. Yeah, they did that at best Buy two after two after if it's under two years, get a new one for free, and you could keep doing that, and I there was one point where I put it on my calendar, like break your headphones, and I kept getting new ones over and over for so cheap. And I'm not even mad at that man, because the warranty should be like be some shit that people
just like fucking made up to get more money. So if there's like a warranty where you can take advantage, yeah, fully take advantage of that sh The weird thing is when I moved back to Fresno, I recently went back to that guitar center and bought the same headphones, and I was like, oh, do you guys still do that warrant? They're like, oh, yeah, yeah, paid it, But now I don't. I hardly use it because I'm not really on the radio as much anymore. So it's like
just sitting on my desk. So I think I'm gonna pass the two year mark and I didn't get a new one because it's still new just sitting there. I think that's what sucks about today's world is that there's just so many options of just anything. Like just think about back in the days they just had one thing of this, one thing of that, or maybe just a brand of this or a brand of that, and it's just like, well, we have this, but it comes with this, this and this.
You also have that and it comes with this, this and this, and it's just like, yo, like why is there so many accessories, so many different attachments to things. There's just sometimes too many options of things, like how you were talking about the DJ equipment, Like there's just so many different things you can add to it, or so many different and it's just
like sometimes there's just almost too many options. Well, speaking of options, and the headphones, the one that has my eye right now is the Apple ones. What are what are they called the actual headphones? Are those called air pods? Still like air pod pros? Maybe I could I could see that. Yeah, I forget what it's called, but it's the actual headphones. One like over ear yeah, because I don't like the earbuds no neither. So in my head I was telling you like, yeah, I think
there's gonna be my next move. And when they're like five hundred bucks, I looked it up and it was so and that's same breath. What's something that you want? But it's just so much that you're not gonna pull the trigger on buying one when they first came out the Tesla's same and I know, mean you ever kind of talked about it before. It's just I don't
know, I just couldn't do it. Man. I've waited, and I've gotten to the point where I'm like, Okay, let me just wait because Tesla's and even like, uh, you know, cars that litter electric are starting to come around more, so I kind of want to wait till there's more companies making electric cars and there's more places where you can charge it, and it just becomes more norm I guess. Yeah, it's kind of what
I've decided to do. But with that being said, like at the end of the year, my car is gonna get be paid off, and it's just like more of a reason to just like let me get a new car. But I don't know, I think the movie is to just not do it. Man. So it's you you and like you said, you and I have had this conversation because I also want a Tesla. Yeah, it's to me, I'm on the fence. I still I love, you know
what, I love just the inside. I'm interior. My best friend has one and he let me drive it, and I was like, man, I almost I almost fell in love just off of that, and he was even like telling me like all the other dope things about it and why he likes it, and I'm just like, I want to do it. I want to pull the trigger, but I just think it would be a dumb
move because my car is about to be paid off. I'm not gonna have and it's still in good shape, like we were just talking about, Like my car is in good shape and I won't have a monthly for a while, and you know they're they're making the electric cars all the time now, so I might just wait. But man, there's something about a TESSI I've just if someone emulates the interior like another brand, another car model, that's kind of what I'm waiting for to see if it happens. But I'm in
the same boat as you. Both our cars are almost paid off. I think that's I think that's what's putting me at peace about not pulling the trigger on a new car, because let me enjoy not having a car payment for a few months to a year or so. Sometimes you make a decision because it's the bright move. It's a decision that it's not that I couldn't do I could do that, but the right move is to not to do it. It would be dumb, you know. I mean that's how I looked
at it. I mean it kind of this whole electric car thing kind of goes back to like what was in the beginning with the whole gas thing. And that's like a big thing for me. Why I want to go electric is to try to save money for this gas. But I had one more personal thing of a want, but I'm not going to pull the trigger after I saw the price. So Usher announced that he's gonna extend his show dates in Vegas. I've been seeing so many videos on it. A lot of
my friends have went, and I'm a big Usher fan. Man and man shouts out's in for being chosen as the halftime super Bowl halftime show performer. And it makes sense because it's in Vegas, the super Bowl, like it just it fit perfect. I mean, his catalog of hits, yeah, everything, It's gonna be a great show. So he has his Vegas show.
Haven't been to Vegas in a while. There's so many things that go along with me being excited to go to Sea Usher in Vegas because, like I said, haven't been to vegs in a while doing that whole weekend, and then I looked up how much the tickets were. The cheapest, the highest seat, the highest one you could get, possible. It's five hundred dollars each in his little big arena thing or whatever. Decent seats like we're in the not even in the middle. The ones below it, the cheapest
is a thousand each. Wow. So for a couple two thousand blocks. Now, I mean, I'm still on the fence. I'm still on the fence. You can't just buy your own ticket. I get what you're saying. I mean, why can't you go Dutch? Like? Why do you Why is it automatic that you have to pay for somebody else? I mean I guess, yeah, I hear what you're saying. Or maybe there could be some where someone takes care of the flights, hotel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't always have to be you buying everything. Magic.
You can't split things, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, for sure, But I guess you know there is other expenses that can get helped out with. Yeah. But I'll say this though, here's the silver lining, because I just read this, this might give you some hope. Word is after the super Bowl halftime performance. He's gonna announce a tour. Oh so, maybe he'll be an arena near Fresno. Maybe he'll be in Fresno. I don't know so, And then there it is. There's still some hope.
