Cause it's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got shit to do. You're just in time for the after party that is Fuck It Friday, starring Drew and Ian. Welcome to Fuck It Friday episode number 11. Number 11. Drew, how you doing? I'm here for the 11th time. Just say, fuck it. Let's just talk about it. Hope everyone's going to have a fantastic weekend. Yeah. It's so damn cold out right now. I just hate it. I hate it so much. I wanted to do something cool this weekend. Too cold. Do you have a snowblower? Do you use a snowblower? Yeah, actually, I do. See, I need to get a snowblower. You do. Dude, that snow was so wet and heavy. Yep. I was like shoveling. I was like four seconds into shoveling. I was like, this is goddamn heart attacks. Now I'm going to keel over. it's something when it's like that yeah we have a big one and a little one the little one it's funny because i keep every year like you know i i get it serviced or whatever and i you know it's working it's just it's one of those like you know never fail to start quote unquote right right and you know it it is a solid machine it's one of those little ones and i've had it serviced a couple times over the last five years and it's like it works for that season and then the next season i try starting it and nothing and i'm like what the fuck like i only use it a couple of times but then i got one of those like big like massive snow blowers right you know like a you know real because the the little snow blower you use the gas oil mix it's one of those and then the big one it's you know you you change the oil and then you got the you know just a regular gas you use in there but um that one so what i do with that one is i started a couple times throughout the year, like in the summer, and just kind of run it for a little bit. But yeah, that one's a beast, and I love it. So yeah, I threw some snow. Well, good for you. Yeah. I'm glad you could throw some snow. Yeah, but that little one just pisses me off, because the one year I spent like $120, I got new paddles on it, and you know, whatever. And I'm just like, come on. Yeah. Fucking work, man. Fucking work. No, these days I just wait, and I sit in my window, and I wait for my neighbors to do it. Sure. but then my buddy bought one of those uh battery powered ones at home depot yeah and it's the real deal he bought the lawnmower and the fucking uh snowblower yeah shit's shit's real it's it's good shit it's called eco yeah i just call me in four years yeah you know you just know in four years it's gonna maybe the batteries don't hold they just never do well you can get new batteries i mean the thing costs like 500 bucks total with the batteries i don't know what the batteries cost What's a regular snowblower cost? $300 to $500. Yeah, see, there's nothing. It's roughly the same. You're saving money, though. You don't have to buy any batteries. You just get gas and throw it in there. Yeah, fair enough. I don't know. Fair enough. I don't know. I'm just against any battery-operated shit, because all my battery-operated shit sucks after three years. Yeah, but you say that, but it keeps getting better over the years. Does it? Does it really? I have yet to have a good battery experience. Well, no, no. It's not the batteries. The batteries are fine. They make them to break. the batteries are fine yeah yeah they purposely make this shit so yeah exactly every three years you got to buy a new one unless the battery says dewalt on the side i'm not i'm not i'm not sold that it's a good bad battery so let's talk about that so you're you're into dewalt tools right yeah i have some i like the milwaukee tools i like dewalt i don't know why i just i just happen to have dewalt's i the the waltz i have i've used for years the 18 volt ones and you know I dig them. Yeah, I do too. Yeah. So. Yeah. No, and then, what's my other one? I don't know. Porter. Porter Cable. Yeah. Porter Cable's good too. Those are some good batteries down there. But other than that, no. Fuck it. I don't. Did I ever tell you about my idea? You had an idea. What is it? Tangent one. I used to have this kind of, you know, I was always on this like invention kick where I was like, I didn't want to like, I couldn't invent like anything like from the ground up but i always had these ideas to make shit better and one of my ideas years ago and i'm i'm gonna kick myself because now someone's gonna steal this and go on shark tank and whatever but so like milwaukee dewalt all these things they all have their own like proprietary batteries right i was thinking and they sell generic batteries now you can get them on amazon and shit but i was like what if we made a battery that could fit in all of them yeah i know you told me this idea. Yeah, that's right. That was years ago. Yeah, you were really excited. I was. But you know what's funny is... The problem with that is we're not smart with battery technology. No. No, I have no idea how this shit works. I just had this idea that it could happen. But I was watching one of those... That's funny shit. I was watching one of those YouTube videos and there's this regular guy in there and he does these like... You just spill on yourself. I totally watched that happen. Whiskey honey all over me. In slow motion. So sticky. Sticky. Sticky whiskey. Say that three times fast. I don't want to talk about it. Keep going. So I was watching his YouTube video, and this guy, a regular guy, and he does these tool reviews. He was testing the Amazon batteries versus the regular batteries. It was kind of cool. So what he did was he took an Amazon battery for a DeWalt 18-volt or 20-volt or whatever, and then he got the actual DeWalt one and then he stuck it in like a leaf blower, one of theirs and he just put it in there and he just turned it on and then tested how long it ran. It's kind of neat. The Amazon battery didn't last quite as long but it was only like a third of the price. Probably wouldn't last long in the grand scheme of things. Well, I don't know. It's all cheap Chinese shit any way you cut it. My good sir, not my DeWalt. You think they're making that You think someone in the United States is putting that battery together? I don't think so. Fucking A. He even took them apart to show what was in there, and guess what? They were basically the same. That's the fucked up part. It is. It's crazy. They make all of our paint products. No, sorry. Our paint brushes are from China now. Oh, sure. Used to be all American made. Is that like yak hair? I don't want to talk about that either. No, I'm joking. I once had an embarrassing situation. Talk about Chinese shit. embarrassing situation where i was working behind the counter at one of our stores and uh a man came in he was he was probably in his late 50s early 60s he came in and he handed me this paintbrush he's like you know this has been i've been using this forever oh no shit like he's been using it for like 30 years 40 years he's like this was my dad's paintbrush fucking a and he's been using the same paintbrush and he handed it to me and it was a purdy you know you can still buy pretty brushes and wait wait so this paintbrush was like literally like 60 years old it was it was probably um yeah probably from the 60s so 50 50 plus years old yeah 50 years maybe 40 or 50 holy handed it to me right yeah and just first thing i noticed was the bristles had been worn down to about an inch from all the painting. Literally, there's an inch left of bristle from all the rubbing and painting. There's no shit about it. It was an inch of bristle. The second thing I noticed right away was when he was handing it to me, he handed it to me, and I grabbed the handle. It felt like it was a hardwood, solid oak handle Like oak or maple just solid It was so heavy I was like oh my God It was like Thor hammer I was like this is the real shit And then I looked on the handle and it gave me an identification number, what it was. Sure. Sure as shit, we still sell that kind of brush. And I go to the wall of all of our brushes and I grabbed our modern day version. First off, it's like a feather compared to this thing. Sure. The thing should have been made out of, It felt like it was made out of a fucking toothpick. I'm looking at it. I grabbed it in my hand, and I have the good one in my right hand, and then the new one in my left hand, and it is just such. I feel like I could crush it in my hand, this paintbrush. It's so light. And the bristles, even though they were long and new, they were half as thick. If you looked at it on the side, half as much bristles on there. and then the metal even the steel the one on the right the steel that holds all the bristles yep it was solid steel whereas this was like some shitty cheap aluminum probably aluminum yeah sheet metal shit and i looked at i looked at the brushes i looked at the guy i looked at the brushes i looked at the guy and i said we're sorry sir we don't have anything like this here at this store and i kind of gave him a wink like sure this is what it should be but this is this isn't going to last you the week let alone 50 years we'll see that and it's the interesting thing because that my friend is china yeah well it's not even that it's you know some of that stuff even if we like took care of it we could probably prolong it and keep it around for a while but stuff like that now I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people I'm like, oh, I can just buy another one. My wife and I have rental properties and we do that shit. I buy those packs with the rollers and all the shit together. It's like, okay, I paint this apartment. I don't wash the shit. I don't do it. It's just the cost of what I'm doing. As opposed to washing it all, saving everything, and then reusing it, you know, we just throw it out and start over. You know what I mean? I mean, I'll keep, like, the metal paint tray and I'll keep, you know, a roller, whatever, but I won't try to save the covers. Drew, that's shocking. Why? Because I'm such a cheap ass? Well, no, the covers are easy to save and wash out. But to me... It doesn't take very much. And then you can reuse it and not have to buy them every time. I guess, but like I said, for me, the few dollars, I'm just like, whatever, I throw it away and start over. Well, in this instance, the paintbrush example I gave you guys out there in podcast land, the reason why we don't sell a nice brush like that isn't because it's a throwaway culture. The reason why we don't sell a brush like that is, you know how much it would cost us to make and then sell something with that high-end wood, super heavy-duty wood, with really nice metal band, probably really different resin, twice as many bristles. You can't sell for the same price you sell your shit now because it's super expensive. No, but that shit, that brush turns our $25 brush into probably a $55, $60 brush. Sure, sure. No, it is. Nobody's going to spend that much on a brush. No. Therefore, that's what we get. We get shitty quality because we don't want to pay for the good stuff. And the reason why it's so expensive is because nobody wants to pay the man hours to get the shit, to make the shit. Yeah. To handcraft the shit. Yeah. I'm even surprised it's wood to begin with. I'm surprised it's not plastic. Like, you know, like hard, you know, plastic or something. But, yeah, it is what it is. But that's the world we live in now. Yeah. Nope, I get it, brother. I get it. Anyway, I don't want to talk about paint stuff all day. But that was just an example of something that is cheaply made now versus, you know, fucking go back 30 years. But they've talked, you know, many people have talked about what they call planned obsolescence, you know, where these companies, you know, make things no matter what it is, even like water heaters, okay? That's a great example. We have a water heater in our house. Well, we had a water heater in our house. It was from 1992. We got it replaced like a couple of years ago. So this thing lasted over 20 years or whatever, right, 25, 30 years, whatever it was. and you know now i have some water heaters in these rental properties they last like five or six years that's crazy yeah so how do you go from 20 years you know and back then they were a couple hundred dollars they want you to buy it oh absolutely yeah so so now you buy one you spend the four or five hundred dollars you have it installed and then yeah you're five years later you're like yep you know the water heater yeah you know it's just it's crazy and that is funny fuck our uh we we have the furnace in our houses from the 80s same thing but i'm gonna get another new furnace soon maybe next year and yeah it's gonna last five or eight years and it's like oh time to get another furnace i hope not i got a nice furnace it's been around for for a while now but yeah brian it's nice sure no there are some that that lasts a little longer you can maintain them yeah i think it'll be okay but water heaters yeah that that that terrifies me because ours works really well and i don't want it to ever fucking go well the good the good news is water heaters are the cheaper of everything. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know. And I know I could probably just install it myself, too. $500 and you got yourself a nice water heater. You got a line in, line out, gas line. Yep. Pretty simple. Yep. Anyway, regardless, dude, yeah, it's fucking crazy. Mm-hmm. So I finished the Netflix show with the Nazi that was hiding out. Remember the Nazi show? Oh, the one I told you about? In Ohio? Demoniak? Demoniak, right? Yeah. That fucking guy. What was it called? The Killer Next Door? Yeah. Yeah. dude it's a good show right it's fucking wasn't it wasn't it interesting the whole thing was like i crushed that series in like a fucking day oh kathleen and i watched it yeah like over two or three days we were like it was so good yeah it was out of control um spoiler alert yeah he's just a dirty ass nazi sure and it was so obvious he thought he was ivan that they thought he was ivan this is what i didn't get about it so you guys if you didn't watch it fuck it it's spoiler Well, and this was a true story. This happened. Yeah. It is what it is. But this Nazi guy who was living in Ohio, he was working at a Ford manufacturing plant. And anyway, turns out he was, the Russians pinpointed him as Ivan the Terrible, some really bad guard in one of the extermination camps for Jews. And this was all happening in the mid-'80s. In the mid-'80s. Yeah, the trial and stuff. so a lot of it was saying hey listen the kgb fingered me but they got they got it wrong they're just picking on me and there's all these trials and at the end of the day and i never understood this and they still don't really explain it at the end of the day he was found not guilty because he wasn't ivan the terrible he was some other prison guard he was another terrible ivan guy yeah he was just another guy sending people to the gas station but yeah he was innocent of being ivan the terrible yeah i was sitting there i'm like but wait yeah he was in the guard system he was a nazi and he was killing millions of people yeah and everyone's okay with this because he's not ivan the terrible pretty much well then they retried him like years later when he was like like 10 20 years later yeah he was 91 90s 91 and dying and he's on his deathbed in the late 90s maybe they fucking tried him again but they were like yeah but we gonna Just try him for like i don know being a you know a nazi killing millions or something high crimes and misdemeanors or something i was like yeah well why didn't you do that 20 years ago i thought he was the guy you proved that he was the guy like well but there there were some it was weird because it's like you could tell he definitely was one of the ss soldiers right but on the other hand there was some weird conflicting evidence about him actually being Ivan the Terrible instead of Ivan the Less Than Terrible. Yeah. That's what it came down to. He was like, you know, well, this one ID didn't match. He wasn't Ivan the Terrible. He was Ivan Pretty Goddamn Horrible. And they were like, see? Told you he wasn't the Terrible. And they were like, innocent! Go home with your family! I'm sitting there like, fuck me! But he was I'm a pretty awful guy. Here's what I found interesting, which is relevant today. So in a couple of those, like, yeah, especially as it went on and in the later years, you know how he came to court all the time and he was pretending like he was super ill? That was at the end. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like 91, yeah. And he was fine. They, like, showed basically he was fine, but he was, like, pretending to be, like, some old crotch. You know, he was old, but, yeah, he's like, oh, I'm dying and whatever. and then um and i think there was another guy recently too the same thing he was able to dodge trial do you read this recently he was able i forgot what this was but this was here in the united states he was able to dodge trial because he kept coming up with like this illness oh nice i'm using air quotes yeah and and literally for like 30 years he kept he was living this lab and he had a lot of money too so he's living this lavish lifestyle and instead of going to court he's like on yachts and shit and then every time he's called the court he's like yeah i got cancer and they're like okay and yeah this went on for 30 40 years and this is recent you can look it up but anyways um it it's relevant today because of harvey weinstein the same thing he's going on trial every time you see him now he's with a walker you see that no he pulls up there and no seriously he's with a walker yeah and he has some like undiagnosed medical condition just to make him seem like he's a female. I'm the victim here. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. So I watched. Look at my penis. It's in a walker. Yeah. So Harvey Weinstein terrorized all these women, and now he's in court, and he's like, oh, I got cancer, and I can't walk very well, and I'm like 65 years old. My mother-in-law is 65 years old, and she bikes like 50 miles a week in the summer. Right. Like, go fuck yourself, Harvey Weinstein. But it's so funny. that they think like you see these movies and these tv shows where they're like the lawyer tells them like put on a neck brace yeah and this is really what he's doing like does that work is that all i need to do i can commit a crime and then i just put on a neck brace and i'm like yeah i i have cancer yeah you know like it's just fuck one that's fucked up and i i agree with you yes that's crazy it's it's it's weird it's it's just bizarre that that's like a real thing another thing popped up too that also was today modern day it was um kind of the ending of the trial with that nazi well he died while he was in he wasn't uh oh whatever he wasn't sentenced or whatever he was he was he was still in the middle of his um his trial um and uh he died so according to law the nazi basically cleared it cleared his name because he wasn't allowed his um what is that called drew when they when uh they get convicted and they get to go back and try to redo it they get a oh uh double jeopardy no the um oh appeal the appeal thing yeah so because his appeal hadn't gone through uh he got off he was dead like his appeal was never finished it. So I was watching another thing on Netflix, Drew, and I think you should watch this because I don't think you've seen it yet. They have the Aaron Hernandez story, the title of the Patriots. I started watching that. Oh, you did? Yes. Well, the same thing happened though. He kills himself before he gets sentenced. Yeah, he doesn't make it all the way through. So his name is cleared. Yep. But yeah, that. No, exactly. Sorry. I won't spoil it for you, but that is a... I haven't watched the whole thing either. That's a fucking... We went right through that one, too. We went really through it. Oh, really? You and your wife? Laura was like, she wasn't even going to watch it. She was going to go out and smoke, and she walked by, and she was watching. She watched five minutes of it, and she's like, what is this? I was like, oh, it's the Aaron Hernandez trial. She's like, wait, you got football players, you got murder, you got gay stuff, and yeah she's like this is everything i love what are you watching you know i think i was cracking up but i was like dude yeah this trial has fucking everything aaron hernandez was such a and then he's also the medical stuff the cte it it was crazy it is crazy and and how far along are you what's that the aaron hernandez oh just the first episode or so okay no the thing that got me though right away was when he first went to prison yeah and you know when he's like going to trial basically, but he, he's, he's remanded and, uh, he's in prison and the prison guards are like, this is weird because he acclimated right away. Yeah. He says like, nobody does. He literally goes from a 7,000 square foot mansion to the seven, I think it was seven by 10 cell, you know, a prison cell obviously. And, uh, he's like, yeah, this is, this is kind of neat. It's kind of cozy. Yeah. And, and the guards are So, like, we're scared of you. Yeah, this is bizarre because, you know, even the hardest criminals, like, have trouble, like, adapting to prison life. And he's like, yeah, it's kind of nice in here. Not bad. Yeah. It's cool. Like, the one guy, he's like, yeah, it kind of sent a chill down my spine that he was that, like, acclimated. But anyways, so I found this thing, that guy I was talking about who, so this was a cop. and this was recently this was like uh yeah november 21st 2019 this story this cop he was on um trial for sex abuse okay so this retired cop or whatever for 25 years i've been dying for 25 years so my question no seriously you read this stuff and you're like this can't be true so he's on trial okay like he he's accused of of abusing kids or whatever and you're like wait a minute so All you have to do is say, oh, yeah, I'm dying. And then they just stop the trial. You know what I mean? Like, how fucked up is our system just in general? Well, that first part of your story about the cop molesting kids is pretty fucked up. Well, sure. So that's part of it. But the way our system treats it. Yeah. It's saying in 1995, you know, he was repeatedly raped and molested his 12-year-old daughter or whatever. And it's just like, how does he not get his day in court? just by saying oh i'm dying and then he ends up like going on a yacht and doing his thing he's like still it's just weird i'm sorry your honor i'm a little under the Carl Weathers yeah we postpone this another week i'm not feeling well today can we i mean come on i'm not a flight risk i guess i see it though i'm just gonna go on my yacht yeah it's the only thing that makes me feel better yeah one one of our uh one of our old tenants who thought told the judge that i planted heroin in his apartment That another story for another day I haven heard that one but I known you for a long time I don't think you do heroin. He's being charged in one of the local counties here for this manufacturing and distributing heroin. Oh, beautiful. This has been going on for like three years, and he's been able to sell his case this whole time. You know what I mean? It's just the way it's set up. I don't know. I don't get it. I feel like if I did something like that, I would be arrested and put in jail for the rest of my life immediately. Oh, yeah. It wouldn't even be a question. Your Honor, I'm dying of cancer. Well, you'll be dying in prison. No shit. If I start selling heroin tomorrow, I'm a terrible liar, so I'm going to get arrested tomorrow. And then, yeah, I'm going to just spend the rest of my time in jail. Yeah. That's just how it's going to be. This is it. it's just like fuck and this guy doesn't have money he has public he has public defenders yeah but yet he's somehow managing to like he was supposed to have a jury trial literally like last year and maybe even 2018 and this is still going on i'm like come on he's not my tenant anymore obviously it's weird i keep charging him rents yeah he keeps paying he keeps telling me i'm the reason why he's going to prison oh man did you hear that one case uh oh man this happened what was the last year where this guy was see i don't know the details of the case i did know it's been a while but he was wanted or whatever i want to say it was child pornography or something where was this i wisconsin was it i think so shit i could be wrong on that too it doesn't really matter but he was so they found it and they were going to basically throw him in jail or whatever a prison um he made bail so he's sitting at home and he's got it is his court date you know so say i forgot what they said it was like in a month right so what did he do that month he found a place in like the woods made a little shelter sure stocked it full of food and he like lived underground for like i think it was like four or five years they thought he flew he fled and he was right there the whole time and then some hiker was just like hiking around stumbled upon this like earthen mounded shack and then there's a front door on that mound of shit you know and sure enough there's like a naked dude in there and they're like I don't think this is right this is a national park you know and yeah they called the authorities and they found his ass and hey man gotta give him credit for and you know they arrest him first thing he says is like man I miss talking to people yeah this this is a mistake this would make a good movie like one of those like tv movies yeah you ever hear about speaking of tv movies i i thought they were gonna make it but it's been so long i don't think they're making anymore share here the barefoot bandit barefoot bandit that was a good one that was uh i think it was out on the east coast it was like in washington and it was like this trailer park kid he was young i think he was like uh early teens and uh he would uh break into all like the vacation homes like right there on the late on the ocean you know and he would steal all their shit and stuff and he would never wear any shoes so they'd see his like freaking bare feet prints bare footprints all over the place well that was dumb yeah well he was a kid oh okay he was just taking shit and living whatever life you wanted to well what's cool what's cool i think is fucking pretty cool pretty amazing the balls this kid had uh he would steal planes and fly them to like islands and stuff and crash them like never doesn't even know how to drive a car but he figured out how to like fly a plane and he'd fly a plane and he'd know where he was going and he would try to fly it to like an island to land on an island authorities would arrest his ass bring him back to washington and uh he kept doing it though he kept stealing planes i was like this kid is like balls of steel i don't think i if i told you you're flying a plane you'd be like well we're gonna die then yeah yep that's not gonna i'm not gonna end this thing this is gonna be bad for everybody here but remember last year somebody stole that plane on the runway do you remember that a few months ago yeah yeah it was like an actual like jetliner yeah you know regular airline he couldn't get off the ground though yeah But he somehow managed to sneak his way into the cockpit, like started up, and yeah. Fucking crazy. It is. People are nuts. You know, you think about all the security and all the stuff, and like how would you do that? Yeah, I think he just hopped the fence. No, he did. It was just crazy. Yoink. Yep. I'm stealing this plane. This plane's mine, motherfucker. But you were talking about that. This is tangent number three. You were talking about. Yeah. You were talking about that naked dude in the woods. Do you ever see that movie, Captain Fantastic? Do you know what it is? No. It's from 2016. Viggo Mortensen, do you know who he is? Yeah, I know Viggo. So Viggo is the dad of these six kids. And I think his wife died early on in the movie. That's part of the thing. She was never in the movie. He was the single dad of six kids. What a weird-ass movie-looking thing. Yeah. I see it now. They're in the Pacific Northwest, like in the Oregon area. Yeah. And he teaches. He basically raises his kids in the woods. But they're not feral people. I mean, he's teaching them. They read every day, and they do this thing. That's kind of neat. And then for whatever reason, they have to get back into regular society, obviously living off the grid. Yeah. Because him and his wife used to live on the grid. Was it a good movie? Yeah, it was good. It's a good watch. It's one of those heartfelt. Charmingly eccentric. Yeah. Sweet and funny. Yeah, it's a fun movie. And there's some good moments. Eagle Mortensen, Captain Fantastic. Yeah, there's some fun moments in there. So if you want just a good movie that's like an, I don't want to say artsy. I mean, it's a cultural movie. Yeah, it's one of those low budget highbrow movies. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, it's neat. I enjoyed it. But there's some funny moments too because there's basically these people that live in the woods and then they go to like this funeral and then uh that's the thing i think they want to go to the the mother's funeral and you know the fan the rest of the family doesn't like accept them because they're just like hippies living in the woods yeah and uh yeah it's it's neat though but there's some there's some fun moments in there so check it out that's all it showed uh my wife uh the joker the other day how was it she loved it she loved it i i thought it was a good movie it's it's a good movie yeah my i'm not gonna spoil it to anyone so you don't have to turn it off now yeah i don't have there there aren't many movies lately around like i have to see that i have to see joker i have to see uh rise of skywalker and i have to see what else came out this past 20 i was gonna say this year but we're we're a year past now what else came out in 2019 that was worthwhile The Lion King live action I'm a huge Lion King fan I see that turd I'm a little behind now but I'm doing what I can so there you go I gotcha we'll call it there man that was Fuck It Friday hope everyone enjoyed it episode 11 and we will talk to you guys next week fuck it later
