Renee:Any, any
Paul:Actually, weird
Renee:no. Hello. My, I don't really know what the word for it is, but I recently just got I don't know what the word is for it. I dropped my bike off. So I dropped my snowboard off to get waxed.

Chrissy:Mhmm. And where are
Renee:you taking it? To a bike shop in
Chrissy:Maple Grove.
Renee:Okay. And this kid that was working there kinda chatting me up, whatever. He was really nice. Well, then when I went to pick my bike up, the same kid brought my bike out to me, but he wasn't as chatty. So I was like, okay.
Renee:Whatever. Grabbed my bike, went home at, like, 06:00 that night. I get a text message from a random number. And he was like, hey, I'm so so from the bike Sorry. Didn't have a chance to talk to you whenever you can pick your bike up, but do you care if I text you?
Renee:I'm like, no. That's fine. And then me, I'm like, is there something wrong with
Chrissy:my bike? Yeah.
Renee:No. He was like, no. I just thought you're cute and I wanna text you. So then that brought up the debate of is this was it creepy or is that normal? Because, like, nowadays, the younger generation, they all they're like, man, that's creepy.

Paul:Yeah. Not well, not drink, but yeah. I
Renee:was bartending there at, like, 16.
Chrissy:Like, they did Oh, they didn't care.
Paul:Yeah. But
Renee:they're also doing, like, blow upstairs too. So
Chrissy:Yeah. They did not
Paul:I was like, I feel like their rules are a little little bit relaxed.
Chrissy:Their food was so talking about the bar at Crown earlier before you got here, and I was thinking about that because I drove by there to pick him up today. And how when he they rebuilt the the new crown, whichever, whatever you wanna call it. What was his name, John? He rebuilt it.
Paul:Yeah. Basically, a garage.
Chrissy:I mean, because there's been no smoking in the bars in Minnesota forever. They didn't follow those rules. You'd go in there and it was just a cloud of
Renee:smoke anytime. You
Paul:know? I hate
Chrissy:just smoking up a storm and
Renee:I was 16 smoking behind the bar at the Pondy whenever I
Chrissy:was barking because I was hired, of
Renee:course, like, to waitress in the dining room area. But then after the dining room closed, he would have, like, bartenders call out. So he'd be like, hey, Renee. Can you work later? So then I would either go cocktail waitress or
Paul:bartend. I'm
Renee:like, there's no way that this yeah. Oh, I made so much money there.
Chrissy:Like, it was crazy.
Paul:Got it. I'm mad. Yeah.
Chrissy:Paying me cash.

Chrissy:as Yep.
Paul:Dominant as they are nowadays.
Chrissy:So Even when when I bought this place, I'm not even kidding you. Like, credit cards were very seldom used, and that was in 2000. So that just look at in twenty six years how much shit's changed.
Renee:But Yeah. Right.
Chrissy:We used to come in about a half an hour early just to count the fucking money from the night before. Yeah. That's because you were counting cash. Yeah. There's never any cash to count.
Chrissy:It's all
Paul:Yep. Right. Right.

Paul:heard about
Renee:that. Yeah. Yeah.
Chrissy:Yeah. That's true. Can't cash anybody's checks, you know. Not an $800 check anymore. We're lucky if we have

Chrissy:So I don't know His front paws?
Renee:Yeah. I don't know if he like got something stuck up in his paw and it like hurt because I was I made him he doesn't like when his feet are touched, but I made him let me look at like his paws to see if there's anything in him. And there was like some cracking going on, like, up into his paws. I don't know if he stepped on something and
Chrissy:Oh. Stealing
Paul:or it's drying or

Paul:And you've gotta learn, like, the the fucking No. Alternators gotta learn how No. How much charge is in the battery shit.
Chrissy:You wanna bring that in to have someone else
Paul:do the charge you probably $300 for the battery, and then they do this whatever learn service on it for free Yeah. Because you spent the $300 on a fucking battery. Yep. Last time I bought a battery was like $85. I almost shit when he told me it was $300.
Renee:Yeah. I literally just said to.
Paul:Half the fucking size of a normal battery
Chrissy:that I
Paul:paid $75 for. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me right now?
Renee:My truck just out of the shop $2,300 later.
Chrissy:2,300?
Paul:What happened? Same with mine. I did a Yeah. Timing belt $3. Oh my god.
Paul:Because they literally gotta pull the whole fucking motor out to do it.
Chrissy:Mm-mm. I bought my Jeep. Well, it's a 2013, and I bought it on a lease. So I leased it for four years, and then at the end of the lease, bought it out. So then I had a payment on it for a few more years or whatever.
Chrissy:But at that time, Jeep was given or introducing lifetime warranties as long as you fucking own the Jeep. Oh, fuck. So I have a lifetime warranty on all electrical and mechanical on my Jeep.
Renee:So I
Chrissy:will never have another vehicle. Crazy. As long as it's in my name Yeah.
Paul:Forever. What the fuck?
Chrissy:I know. So I
Renee:Whoever made that up does not work for Jeepney. Yeah. Who cares?
Paul:Well, I feel like they were struggling so hard recently that they just fucking did whatever it took
Chrissy:to because that would have been right around COVID time Yeah. Or whatever, right before COVID. So, yeah, it was
Renee:That's wild.
Paul:Yeah. That's just fucking insane.
Chrissy:I know. So anytime something go well, like, just like your bike, you know.
Paul:Yeah.
Chrissy:And I think I only paid, I don't know, it was something dirt cheap. Like, 600 like, $600.
Paul:And I
Chrissy:just wrapped it into my loan.
Paul:You know?
Chrissy:Wow.
Renee:Yeah. That's crazy.
Chrissy:Yeah. So I was like, I'll be driving that till the fucking wheels fall.
Paul:Fucking $700 tool. Right?
Chrissy:It's Yeah.
Paul:Like, the piston on the caliper, usually, you just push it in with a tool. This, you've gotta go into this fucking thing and hit all these buttons so that it retracts the piston.
Chrissy:Aw.
Paul:Turns out, fucking my car doesn't even need that. I'm like, you motherfuck. Now I got a $700 fucking paperweight. I took it back. I'm like,
Chrissy:you take it back. Did. Yeah.
Paul:I took it back. I keep it in. If it doesn't fucking do the one fucking job I needed it to do, then I ended up going yeah. I ended up going to a different shop. And turns out, all I needed was basically this different tool, but it's got, like, a key on it so that that it spins like a pad inside, and it spins it down.
Paul:You gotta wind it down or whatever.
Renee:Mhmm.
Paul:Which I've never seen that before. Usually, it's just the pressure. You just push it in. Yeah. But, yeah, this one's it's like you gotta wind in the piston or whatever.
Paul:But
Chrissy:This is on your little car?
Paul:Yeah. Yeah. My little fucking Fucking German Nazi car.
Chrissy:Volkswagen. Yeah. Pops.
Paul:However the fuck they say that. It's cool. I don't know. I wanna get that thing going.
Chrissy:We started, Paul, I was looking at a bright bright canary yellow Corvettes. What year was that?
Paul:'19.
Chrissy:Oh, was it 2019? Mhmm.
Renee:You think you're gonna buy it?
Paul:Fuck. No. I ain't paying $2,500 a month for a car payment.
Chrissy:That's nuts. That thing?
Paul:And 50?
Chrissy:Oh, Jesus. No. For a 2019?
Paul:It's a z r one. It's so it's a Corvette z r one. It's the last it's the last year of a front engine, and it's a 750 horsepower car, which and it's a manual. You can't get a manual in the new Corvettes.
Chrissy:You could take a loan out on your house.
Paul:I ain't gonna do that. Then my problem is is I I fucking overanalyze everything, and I'm like, alright. So say I do get that $150,000 loan. Right?
Chrissy:Mhmm.
Paul:Well, that's $25,000 in interest. So what if I just take that money that I
Chrissy:was gonna spend? Deductible.
Paul:Right. But fucking put that in my four zero one k or put that in a Roth. I still got twenty more years of working. What is what that's $1.50, $1.75, almost 200. So 200 the next twenty years, you're looking at what?
Paul:$4,800,000
Renee:if
Paul:you just invest it. That car is not worth $800,000 to me.
Chrissy:Without any too much into your personal finances. Like, you must just get fucked on taxes.
Paul:Oh my god.
Chrissy:So I'm just saying I
Paul:basically don't need to be in a relationship because the government fucks me enough.
Chrissy:Well, your house is paid for. You don't have interest to write off for that.
Paul:I don't have I have zero write offs.
Chrissy:That's why I'm saying
Paul:The only thing I can write off
Chrissy:really would pay for I'm just saying, you might wanna look into that because it Probably wouldn't do a car loan, but you can write off the interest on a house loan.
Paul:Well, right. But so same with, like, 401 k. That's why I fucking maxed a 401 k. That's why I maxed a Roth. That's why I fucking started a brokerage account too.
Paul:It's because, like, if I don't do that, then it shows I make $40,000 more than I actually make. Yep. And then you get
Chrissy:already, like
Paul:back alley prison fucked.
Chrissy:You have no kids. You're not married. You have no house payment. You're the walking tax man.
Paul:I have zero fucking payments on anything.
Chrissy:I know. Which is good. Mhmm. But the government looks at it like, give me your money, bitch.
Paul:Yeah, dude. They
Chrissy:I can't even imagine. So
Paul:Everything.
Chrissy:One of Mike's best friends, Brian Russell well, you know Russell. He's always on the mini bike ride.
Paul:Oh, yep.
Chrissy:He's same way. House paid off, single, never been married, no kids, exact same fucking thing. And he makes as much as Mike makes, which
Paul:I know, like she said, start a fucking
Renee:So, like, some sort of
Paul:investment. Investment. Buy Buy a a fucking whatchamacallit? A park? Trailer park or something?
Chrissy:Or rent some properties or something.
Paul:Dude, if I if I had the money, I would buy my neighbors. So, like, there's this block, and then there here's my little property, and there's 200 and whatever acres right around me. If I had the money, he's selling it for, like, 1 point some million. If I had that money, I would buy it, and I would fucking put in, like, camping. I'd put, like, half a dozen.
Paul:There's a lake over here, so I'd put probably on this side, like, half a dozen permanent, whatchamacallit, like, lots for Mhmm. Camping. Mhmm. And then have, like, just whatever have a couple for tent over here and then have a couple for motorhomes. Mhmm.
Paul:And then put like a fucking massive massive, like, ERX setup.
Renee:Oh, good.
Paul:And it's open to the public. So you have, like, woods riding Mhmm. Side by side riding, rock crawling, mudding, motocross.
Chrissy:Yeah.
Paul:Because there is nothing like that open to the public twenty four seven where that's anywhere around here other
Chrissy:than I can only imagine, like, the insurance.
Renee:The liability Yeah.
Chrissy:That's liability insurance would be super Yeah.
Paul:It it would be fucking ridiculous. You'd have to have those waivers and shit.
Chrissy:I don't know. ERX people, I mean, imagine, like, I would imagine there's something that they do as far as that. But open twenty four hours a day?
Paul:Well, no. I'm not no. You I mean, twenty four
Chrissy:you're just
Paul:saying like year round Year round. From some Gotcha. Somewhere to come and go, like, you know, because, like, in the winter, you could have snowmobile tracks just like ERX, but, like, a moto track that someone could fucking bomb their sled around. I'm sure there's you know, like, we got so many fucking
Chrissy:So many land up there.
Paul:Yeah. Right?
Chrissy:You could still buy it, probably. Because he didn't sell it, did he?
Paul:Not that I'm aware of.
Chrissy:No. He was looking at 300 acres up near Hinkley.
Paul:But you'd have to clear a lot of that out to do that kind of shit.
Chrissy:You know what I think you should do?
Paul:What? With
Chrissy:my gears rolling in my brain, I personally would like to buy like that. Yep. Depending on, you know, the ordinances and stuff and how they work, I would put fucking tiny homes on them. Yeah. Rent the fucking build tiny homes.
Chrissy:You can build those fuckers for dirt cheap.
Paul:Oh, yeah. Dude, you can
Chrissy:buy resell them because that is the new thing. People can't fucking afford a homes anymore, especially up
Paul:there. Right.
Chrissy:A tiny home, they would still be able to have, like, a one acre plot if you could divide it up or even a five acre plot.
Paul:Right.
Chrissy:We're talking it's 300 acres. Yeah. Put a tiny home on there. Somebody can become an actual homeowner, either sell it on a contract for deed Mhmm. Or rent it.
Chrissy:Yeah. I would say sell it on a CD, double your money on it or
Paul:whatever. Right.
Chrissy:Fucking. That'd be a good idea. That way, you're you're selling it and you're out from underneath of it. You don't gotta be a landlord Yeah. Unless they don't make their payments.
Paul:Oh, but that would be such that'd be so much work, like dirt work and shit and tree work going in there and clearing out and making driveways and paths.
Chrissy:Start one at a time. Yeah. If you build one small house, you know, you don't have to build a shitload of them at once. You start with one. Mhmm.
Chrissy:Yeah. You wouldn't have more than I don't even know what it would cost to build a tiny house, but they also have those little, like, those caps capsule houses that they fucking build in China. Ones? Yeah.
Paul:You see those?
Chrissy:Those are
Renee:cool. You can buy them for, like, $25.
Paul:Right? What would be sweet is
Chrissy:You could Airbnb it out.
Paul:Well, that's I was gonna say. Yeah. So, like, that land, you get, like, those those big dome things, and they're, like, probably 30 feet across, and they're all like, you you get one whole side that's, like, all glass. Right? Yep.
Paul:In the top. Yep. And you have, like, just start like you said, just start small. One or two. Yes.
Paul:Buy them out in your property.
Chrissy:Yeah.
Paul:Airbnb that shit. And it's they got, like, this little wood stove, and you're just
Chrissy:Aren't they cute? I love those things. And you can put them on the ground. You don't need a foundation, which I liked about that. You don't need a You'd have
Paul:to have, like, a compost bathroom or something, though.
Chrissy:Something. I don't really know what
Paul:they do. As far the house a fucking like, a outhouse somewhere, like, a shower. Like, just a little building with showers and shit because
Chrissy:My neighbor's my neighbor, Rick Gregory's daughter well, Rick lives in his house, so he's getting older and he had some brain injuries and stuff and he's not doing very well. His daughter reached out to me because I said when you're ready, when Rick needs to either when he passes away, obviously, don't want him to, but or he needs to go into like a home of some sort and he can't be there anymore. You please let me know? Because I really wanna buy that land. It's like the house it's the 10 acres and the house and the he's got a brand new garage, huge coal barn.

Chrissy:I haven't been there since like 2017, so it's been a while.

It had a couple different pools, like fucking 11 different restaurants, but the best part, and I found it on the last fucking day, which I 100% regret because if I would have found it the first day,
Renee:I would have
Paul:just stayed there in the hotel the whole fucking time and never fucking left. But I went, we were it was the last day and our flight was delayed like eleven hours or ten hours. So Oh we were supposed to go out at night instead of out in the morning. I was hungover as fuck. I'm just like, I just want a fucking cigar and whiskey.
Paul:Fucking went into their shop, grabbed the cigar. He's like, oh, yeah. He's like, oh, right there. You go smoke it. I'm like, alright.
Paul:So I go through the doors and it's like walking into like the soprano layer or something just super dark, light coming through the windows, like just barely can see in there. Smoke like rolling through the light, like where the light comes in through the
Chrissy:So now where in Vegas was this?
Paul:Fuck, I don't even know. Somewhere on the Strip.
Chrissy:It was on the Strip.

And it's like they had a fucking It was just a rectangle area or whatever, then they just had a fucking 50 foot bar with a wall and then all TVs playing sports and shit you'd bet on, whatever. Then it just had a roll of fucking whiskeys and whatever you wanted to drink. And then it had here, it had like big
Chrissy:So was fucking it spendy? No. It actually wasn't.
Paul:Oh. Surprisingly, like, I think my whiskey drinks were cheaper than a fucking beer. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, why the fuck did I find this?
Chrissy:Yeah. It's
Paul:the first fucking day. I don't have just been sitting there smoking and drinking fucking
Chrissy:living. I don't know. I that I mean, Vegas changes so much every year that I know it's been a fuck. I can't even believe it's been almost ten years since I've been there, but it's just ridiculous.

Paul:So fucking dumb.
Chrissy:And one teen says she identifies as a dog and claims she's two years old in dog years.
Paul:Good. I'd fucking lock her in a kennel and leave her there.
Chrissy:Psychologist say it's harmless self expression. Bullshit.
Paul:It's called mental
Chrissy:fucking illness. Mental illness is what I call it.
Paul:We need to bring back fucking nut houses and lock these fuckers up until they figure out that they're not recovered.
Chrissy:It's just teenagers running around parks pretending to be animals. No.
Renee:No. It's not.
Paul:If you wanna do that and then just go back to being a normal person, then I could see that you're trying to express some shit. But if you're doing this and fucking believing that it's fucking real, like that one what's that one chick who fucking goes and she like competes in like jumping fucking The stick horse
Renee:across those girls.
Chrissy:You've never seen that? No. What is it?
