When traffic is just that bad. Let's talk about it.
When traffic is just that bad. Let's talk about it.
Okay, so where's the business reports? Like the business expense reports.
William Jeffery:The business? I don't know, an Excel spreadsheet somewhere
Marcus:where I need to file one
William Jeffery:for who? For
Marcus:the Super Bowl tickets and the damn parking you may be paid for.
William Jeffery:You need a spreadsheet for tickets.
Marcus:I am not the one
William Jeffery:to buy tickets. Not even.
Marcus:I've already understand that I had to eat the cost of the tickets. I'm talking about parking parking was like $400
William Jeffery:Well, you need graph paper for that. I don't think of Excel spreadsheets gonna help you find your car. Don't you do the drop a pin thing? Oh, no, you got to Android. They don't they don't do that.
Marcus:Was the halftime show even worth it?
William Jeffery:I mean, it was part of the Super Bowl. So yeah, it was free. That's like asking if the water is good. And I was like, you know, you get it when you get there. Yes. The breads. Good. I like butter. Yeah, it was fine. Everybody looked healthy and old. Yeah, I mean, I would have switched. I'm healthy and old. So it was great. I was 20 It was probably terrible. But who were all these old people singing you know, get banned remixes. But, you know, I am 39 I know exactly what all the songs were.
Marcus:Who are you by the way?
William Jeffery:I will. And I know I was told there will be no man. I don't like Excel or spreadsheets. I don't understand what we're talking about math and the Super Bowl. Don't nobody that watch a 10 don't have anything to do with the Super Bowl. Do any kind of math. But yeah, um, will this head above apostasy and we will not be doing math here.
Marcus:Okay, well, Marcus, and I'll try not to do the math. Thanks. We'll I'll forget about trying to find you asked
William Jeffery:the exam. If you open spreadsheets and cuz you can't find your car. You got the wrong kind of phone, I just get an iPhone and you can drop a pin every time you park and you won't have to pull out spreadsheets to find your car. If you didn't lose you and have to pay the overnight parking fee. We're not responsible for you misplacing your car. It's in your contract. Since you asked to stop your intro, you want to go get the contract. Good. You go get the contract. Yes. Okay. All right, where's that contract program? Well, unfortunately, Microsoft crashed because I had too many Excel tabs open once, oh, apples really good at finding your car. But it doesn't it doesn't do contract. So well, you know, but I got it backed up in the cloud, on the hard space. Appreciate that. So, you know, you can be sure, though, that we're not held liable for parking because this is a podcast and it lives, you know, just audio on the internet. So you don't need to drive anywhere to it. If you're driving you do you're responsible for any parking you do you are responsible for right? You know, the same way a parent are responsible for a child. You're responsible for your car. You know, what, if you need more, you know, direction on responsibility. I have a whole nother podcast. My Dad's Corner actual parents with children you kind of grown so right. It might be above your head, but just a little bit.
Marcus:And where's that podcast? Just because I need to listen to Apple podcasts. Okay,
William Jeffery:it lives there exclusively? Oh, no. Because standards we need help. Right? But and you maybe maybe I'll do an episode on finding the income because they lose their cars. But most of us have iPhones and most of us, you know, drop the pin and then we just find the call. So the halftime show, you know, because you can stick them on the car do halftime shows? How
Marcus:did you feel about that? Like I just felt like we could have
William Jeffery:replaced I felt I was breadsticks, man. Show. Like when you go to a restaurant, yeah, you get breadsticks. And
Marcus:just like, did you see if you sat on one side of the field? You couldn't see the other side of the actual show? You just saw the backside of all
William Jeffery:the halftime shows always like that, right?
Marcus:I felt like they move around and stuff right? Well, I know Katy Perry had that giant dragon thingamajigger she usually Yeah, nobody saw the backside of her and the dragon.
William Jeffery:That's why tickets cost different prices because seats up. Battle. Anyone want to see the show and pay more? Ah, America. Everything's for sale. Right. Even good seats. Why would
Marcus:a prospective once again I would have traded some people out like maybe got rid of it kept Kendrick.
William Jeffery:But it's not you know, remember it's not 106 In part
Marcus:took out Eminem not to come in for the
William Jeffery:Super Bowl. Yeah, you don't take out Eminem put in like a 40 another Federer Do you know who watches football primarily this is all over America watching the Super Bowl was like, Yo block.
Marcus:Oh, I mean, I live in a very nice defined block. Thank you very much. But yes, no, I mean,
William Jeffery:regardless, you got a plan for outside of your block. Good media, okay, trap suburban, all of them were watching the Superbowl. And all of them are familiar with him and him on some level. It wasn't like hey, love, you know, whatever. Okay, so to take him out. He's, you know, he's universally known, regardless of you know, like, you
Marcus:know, I take out 50 cents that was unnecessary.
William Jeffery:I feel bad
Unknown:for 50 years kind of big.
William Jeffery:I mean, everybody so all of us that remember when that album came out, right? In high school. We all look different now. Yeah, 20 some years ago this is very true. So you can't fault he didn't look you know, I've seen far worse and the amount of time that's passed since that record came out. So you know everybody's just it's another what do the what is the keyboard warriors and all their judgment like you know, he didn't look like to get rich or die try and cover he does but you know, none of us looked like our high school yearbook photos. You know, surprise surprise right right. Time wins again February soon and they hung him upside down like you got to be in amazing shape to look good upside down. Even the most fit look questionable. You know, all the air if you don't pay attention to
Marcus:gravity is like yeah, no, gravity is not our best friend gravity highlights
William Jeffery:whatever you didn't if you're upside down, so you know, they didn't do him himself. He was upside down. I mean, he and 40
Marcus:he right sided himself eventually and he still did
William Jeffery:you see how long that took? It looked like a 60 year old getting off the sofa then show the whole thing they show maybe a year old and it took a long time. You got a man you could cut that man some slack. He completed the show from upside down the right side. Didn't miss a word did get out of sync with the words but kept going anyway with the show Musca heal Apollo did and they didn't they didn't get he didn't get the hook. He they should have Sandman. But he kept going he got an applaud an old man for finishing the job. Oh, fifth don't come after me. I think he still does run the internet. Now. You're saying all the great things about him? You know, we age man. And I think that for a 40 year old man that was a great rapper. Name another 40 Oh, crap like that. You see Jay didn't have his happiness out to a press box or wherever he was at tolerantly to. He want to tell him Oh, yes, not lie, but I'm just saying. Eight and a half and I'm eight. I'm one of them. But that's not not a Super Bowl. I love toddler. I don't know. I don't think he's gonna pick him. Okay, cuz that's better.
Unknown:I feel like no sarcasm.
William Jeffery:No, not Simon Theodore. What is the same? So
Marcus:rams win. And they get their parade. Lakers get no parade. But did you see how they were trying to collaborate all that parades together? Some for some reason? I don't know. Why. What's the point? Does not having a parade really affect things? No, it causes a lot traffic for the city you're in.
William Jeffery:I wouldn't let y'all ever have a parade. Oh, we're terrible at parades that we just set things on fire and throw trash can. That's the
Marcus:winning what's usually a riot the night before and then a parade the next day.
William Jeffery:And that what they celebrate the riot with a parade? No, no.
Marcus:Like usually when an LA I don't know how all sports teams do most sports cities do but when their sports team wins, you destroy the city for some reason. And then your brain says like, Haha, hey, I know you guys are happy and we're happy we won but don't destroy your city. By the way. In two days you have prayed to celebrate.
William Jeffery:Well, the lake was one in the middle of COVID. So there was no parade. I felt like I should have had a Zoom meeting. Everybody was on anyway. right just put on your labor hat alright and put everybody press thumbs up emoji that way cameras on and wait. Then it worked. Oh, it crashed the internet but fine. We're all inside anyway. Who did what now?
Marcus:Kim Kardashian crash the internet before?
Unknown:Did she was that weird but photo? Champagne to her but there's something
William Jeffery:weird or photos of her but I mean, that's how she took pictures.
Marcus:Oh man, so alright. parades are always happening. I
William Jeffery:don't know a lot about her.
Marcus:I just don't think parades.
William Jeffery:Yeah, kids pancake parade for their baseball team.
Unknown:What's a pancake right?
William Jeffery:No idea never played baseball before. I'm going to my first point this week. What is I still don't know what a pancake right is there's a pancake breakfast breakfast and then there's a parade. I don't know if you eat pancakes during the parade? I don't know. There's a float that throws pancakes. I'm not sure but I know that because she's on baseball softball coach. slow pitch. I know his baseball is I'm so grateful that I played basketball because both the kids are playing two different types of stick ball. And then the bat has mad there's math with the drop in weight and laying and they got gloves all different sizes. They tried to make me buy a cup for five and a half year old which looks like somebody I don't know took a thimble and dipped it in plexiglass. It's I don't it's very confusing basketball you need shoes a ball yes it I mean do you need your own ball if you go to park
Marcus:right on to into like the NBA you need like a LeBron James breathing machine and
William Jeffery:you don't need those. That's to tell us he didn't need those when he got to leave he needed those when he got old. Oh all of us need those he can just afford them because he's rich and old. When you're young you just need money all he had was sneakers and a jersey didn't fit he's a real loose around and now every time he does almost by themselves
Marcus:I think he wore a shirt underneath it just to make the jersey fit a little bit it
William Jeffery:still was flapping all over the roof but he's wearing a cape backwards
Marcus:but in a purse he did very well for himself. So brands and don't play baseball. Yeah, no parades and pancake praise you know one thing that's a
William Jeffery:pancake breakfast with a parade I'm explaining it poorly again i At no point in my life played any baseball It's all new to me. I will have an update for you next show appreciate it thank you yeah, I don't know but parades put there whatever I don't even understand what I know that we have to watch them for Christmas and Thanksgiving
Marcus:the Rose Parade
William Jeffery:they do they put them on and are well knows the Macy parade at the same point have to tear up the city parade with the I don't know
Marcus:they're not terrorists. Those are riots. Those are different things.
William Jeffery:Today riots you win direct the city and then you get a parade.
Marcus:I mean, that is what the formula looks like so on
William Jeffery:one if on paper if you came from space for your alien you watching the course of events Yes, you'd be like huh, humans seem to reward destruction with a celebration involving a lot of traffic cars and floats
Marcus:as an alien you just start destroying you
William Jeffery:Yeah, that's probably why they come up and then they wait like where's our parade right we set everything on fire we kill people we would like some
Marcus:floats right make something out of roses we don't respond that way we respond we call the army and then they are like oh I guess
William Jeffery:Tony Stark show up and then it's a whole mess. Oh they wonder because the communication is key you got to talk to people like why are you blowing things up? We would like a parade what we saw you play the game you set the trash to get on fire you have Bray what about we don't understand the game but we know how to make fire so we start blowing stuff up
Marcus:What about parades for like when stars pass?
William Jeffery:Start like in space? Why would they come bus have a parade for a reason you have a parade for anything else?
Marcus:No I see where you're going Dr. House um I mean the situation is like when Nipsey passed like you know it was like concession all the way or or or in New York when a big Biggie Smalls past like they had like shut down half in New York just to dry white Why not knocking it but I'm just curious on why I mean do certain things like that? Well,
William Jeffery:I just two examples that you gave. I don't think anybody is going to prevent the the core listenership or support group from doing anything, like if you know anything about the The group or the type of people that Nick spoke, you know, the most deeply to adore represented? Yes, you're not about to tell them they can't have a parade or skip hop, sing dance barbecue. What however they want to celebrate and grieve, big fella, you do that because I don't want them problems. Ah, you and your 37 you know, friends because they always, you know with homies and and then big in New York, you know, they're equally reasonable when you know, trying to be told not to do something, so you're not about to tell them how to grieve either. So if they want to have a parade, let them have a parade procession, you know, play who pays for these spreads?
Unknown:I think this is a chance
William Jeffery:from now until the end of time. I'm sorry, what?
Marcus:Who pays for the parades? Like, um, I know the city does most of the time. But like that comes out
William Jeffery:of the Notorious B I. G.
Marcus:No, I don't think she I don't know. Like, that's not when Michael Jackson passed. He
William Jeffery:had an estate. They all right. Like, you know,
Marcus:they do but when MJ passed, like I think the city of LA paid for the funeral at the Staples Center. Even though they really
William Jeffery:if it was at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. They had to pay for they probably charged the state. Yeah, the state charged Michael Jackson. Oh, no, the city paid for it, I believe. And then Michael Jackson had to pay the site for the parades that we paid for. And then he got we paid for the praise. I don't understand why we're paying for the braids. I'm sure they tax them or something. No, I don't think so. Just pay for the parade. I think we just paid for the bliss. Like it wasn't a riot at first. We pay for it when there's a riot first. And that's the cover up for the fact that we let the riot happen.
Marcus:Okay, no, I'm pretty sure.
William Jeffery:Mike had to pay that back. I bet you the state is broke. Now. What?
Marcus:I'm not sure. He didn't I think most parades by cities. Unless it's like, I mean, la does a lot of crap unnecessarily for everything. And I think one of the things we do is we accelerate free.
William Jeffery:I don't we don't we just notoriously throw parades for people and pay for them fully. I can't that doesn't make any sense. I don't believe you.
Marcus:Any New Orleans probably pays for parades or no I think you have to pay for your on paper.
William Jeffery:I thought New Orleans was a parade and now we're Mardi Gras. Yes, I thought that's all they this is a braid the whole time the whole place is a parade it's just one long hallway outdoors with necklaces and no shirts apparently.
Marcus:That's what the necklaces are for
William Jeffery:their shirts. So they don't understand clothing. I've not been because I like shirts and hoodies which you can find on our website and head above hypocrisy calm you know so unless you know you're at Mardi Gras and then we got cups for you to hold your alcohol so then yeah, we got we got whatever you need, you won't have any use for the shirts because everybody just wear pants and nothing else down there and sometimes not even them so I'm told but you will need something to hold your alcohol and we've got several containers for you overall at the website. So you know hit up head above hypocrisy calm before you go and make a whole bunch of mistakes
Marcus:so quick question How much do you think the average price of a parade is?
William Jeffery:How much a parade cost nothing really. Um, because I guess you mean like how much does it cost to shut down the streets and stuff because the streets you got security like police think about it the parade is like you don't pay the people in the parade it did not like salary employees volunteers usually for like whatever foundation whoever whatever whatever they represent in said parade right like you know each each flow is represents something in the on the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yeah, for whatever Yeah, high school and army all kinds of different colleges donate their time to right so like the parade itself and making sure I don't know how much the cones velvet rope and I know how much for Craig and data and making, you know, do the inflation math times that by what they got, like 20 security or something. You can get it get the ropes and stuff off Amazon. I like I don't know, like maybe $1,000
Marcus:Well, we're not talking about Macy's New Orlean parades we're gonna go in, narrowed down to the Macy Day Parade. the Macy's Day Parade
William Jeffery:will probably cost a whole lot of money. And that's just security right parade itself? I don't think there's no there's no supplies. You don't provide any
Marcus:security not in the dark just for just for the parade itself. What if the decorations, all that nonsense? It's floats.
William Jeffery:I mean, I don't know what officers make it, if they're made, if they're hiring off duty officers is whatever this hour is, like 37 hours and hours and 48 I don't know there's a billboard. They was trying to hire people for one point
Marcus:makes for damages anywhere between 2.7 to $4.5 million.
William Jeffery:Okay, so that's not why now they pay him too much. That's why we tried to defund them. That sounds about right.
Marcus:So once again, why don't why even have it, like if you're if it costs that much, and
William Jeffery:we don't pay the police anyway, so you might have been working once
Marcus:Disney has a parade, but they charge people almost $300 to get in, just to see their parade. So shoot at night with the lights. It's pretty cool. But like, you know, cool. By me I haven't seen since I was a kid, but it's
William Jeffery:at night. So if you're there with your children, you've been there all damn day. And you want to go home. And the only thing between you and your home is this parade. And it seems like it is never ending. So okay, how many lights lasers confetti fireworks, I wish that it was an ice cream cart with a bell. And he just walked by thing. Ice cream? No, we're going home. And that's it. But no, we got to stay for an hour. Because everybody likes parades. Sorry. No, it's my first question.
Marcus:So if you're in traffic, and there's a parade going by, like kind of like the traffic you're in, like a funeral. Yeah, like, what do you do? Do you cut in front of those. So
William Jeffery:my dad is very poor. He's bad influence. He had no respect for funeral procession. If it was gonna make him lay his punctuality over everything, I don't care if you're grieving. I don't care who died, you can let me pass like I got 20 minutes to get on this free ride. And it was like we lived. There's a there's like a giant cemetery, which is poor planning is right in front of the freeway entrance. And there will always be funerals, and my dad would be cussing. I'm like, Man, Dad, this is not like the area in which you want to be creating bad juju. People across and over and over here. Consider screaming people are crying. You got the they hire the worst escorts for like, at a distance. They look like officers or security. But up close. It's like the you remember the Lakers are sponsored by the wish or whatever. website it was like fake Amazon. That's where they got these security guards for these funerals from they walk up. And they look like the security guard for Martin. It just did the nothing fits in your pants aren't the same color as the shirt is bad. And they don't know he was arguing with them. He was he was trying to he would just drive through eventually. Like there would be argue argue argue like we're not we're not gonna let you pass and he would just keep inching forward. And then. So I would probably do some version of that, because that's what I was taught like, they're just too long sometimes. As did my father. Regardless of what point though, that was the thing. I used to think like as a kid that they were superduper long. Yeah, my dad was being very patient and he just lost his patient. It didn't matter what point of the present like we could get to a light. If the light cycle twice is too long. It doesn't matter beginning middle and he Alright, y'all got to go. I'm late. I gotta go to work. I gotta get him to school. I'm not on this car for fun. I'm trying to get somewhere and you're in my way. So grieve, after I pass
Marcus:well, before the show becomes too long. There is the runway
William Jeffery:in my dying. Listen to the show. It's not that long. I hope not. Go ahead.
Unknown:Your final thoughts if any?
William Jeffery:I guess get cremated so you don't cause traffic. That's what I'm doing. You just take one person dump you off in the ocean or wherever you want to be. It's inconsiderate. I suppose especially last names, I guess it depends on where you live. Like if you live in in the middle of the country, pretty much any of them states, do whatever you want. You can have a funeral procession 400 cards long, because it's the whole state you know, so it's not gonna be traffic because everybody's gonna be in line at the funeral. But if you live in an actual you know, metropolis with you know, people, they should just get cremated because it's inconsiderate of those of us who have to go to work school and or be on the road. Otherwise, there's already enough traffic. We don't need you mucking it up with all your sad friends and relatives. And you know that that ladies and gentlemen, is the importance of, of what you show your children because now I have no tolerance or sympathy for the grieving industry. I guess I just that's all I ever knew. My mom would get mad at him. But I guess I just wrote my dad more she would, or you know what, she didn't make a big deal about it, we would just sit quietly in the car, I probably didn't even know what's happening. She just my mom was the educator of the family. So she was probably too busy, you know, creating Word problems and giving me vocabulary words I was so I didn't know what was happening outside of the car, because I was trying to pass the LSAT before we got to the grocery store. Um, but yeah, if you live in a city, get cremated. You know, that responsibility? Can't be we got enough traffic, you know, we don't need your problems. That's that is the moral. And that the, I don't know, the Superbowl halftime show was it was what it should have been. I think it was. And you know what, I'm happy that Dr. Dre actually was there and did not just tell us he was going to be there and how great it's going to be when he's there. He's got all these new performance things that he's going to do. And then he just never show up. Kinda like the next album that he was supposed to do after I'm pretty sure chronic 2001 The first 2000 I think that was the last time Dre made an entire body of work. But he came out of his shell for the Super Bowl. So you know, I can't be mad at that. And yeah, listen to to my show. And if you've got you know, children or planning to have children, check out my Dad's Corner, which can be exclusively found on Apple podcast, it's good opportunity to go check out just Apple podcasts but environment in general it's it's still pretty new. Very cool. And a great place to get my perspective on all things parenting. I have kept my two alive for five and six years. So you know, I think I am relatively qualified to talk about the subject no funeral funeral processions over here think I think we're all just be cremated according to my insurance. Yeah, cuz cuz I'm a responsible adult. They wouldn't let me have kids if I didn't agree to that. Right. I think that's how that works. At any rate, um, that's a wrap. Folks. This has been regular old head above hypocrisy out on the regular old free internet. If you want the good stuff, head on over to Apple podcast. You can get me and me alone. Good day.
