 Hey, how you doing? I'm Ty. Hi, I'm John. John, nice to meet you. Alright, so normally we would talk about anything that you want to talk about. I just have a hobby I set up and five minutes talking about whatever you want. Just a show, you know, it's important to have like the face-to-face. I think we're living in a generation where this becomes more of a means. Anyway, so like, you want to talk about your skateboard evolution? Are you a skateboarder yourself? Yeah, you know, I used to skateboard when I was younger and then, you know, after college I actually just kind of kept one in my trunk for a while. Okay, now and then I'd get it out and have it in a while. I had a skateboard that had the 80s design that had like the flip on the back, but not the flip in the front. And then I saw the double flip and I'm like, oh, that's way better than anything I would get. So like, why is that motivating you? Or like, what's the history behind that? Well, the truth be told, I just bought this shirt off the rack because I thought it looked cool. But I have some history in it. Yeah, it's just kind of fun to see how they go. You got the Michael J. Fox, like, you know, skate, like skates, like nailed to like a plywood board. Yeah, I bet those wheels probably weren't the polyurethane stuff they got now. And there were the wider board too, more stable. Yeah, yeah. So, and then, you know, now it's full freestyle, you can do kinds of tricks. Help me out. If you didn't skateboard, and you saw that shirt, would you still buy it? I would, because it was soft. So if someone else wore that shirt, I was like, no, I don't skateboard. I just wear this because I was soft. That'd be totally cool. Or would you be like, hey, you're a faker? Hey, you know what, back when I skateboarded. Yeah? Yeah, I would probably, I caught a poser or a faker. Yeah. There are people that buy T-shirts for bands or like band albums just because the album looks really, really cool. And then they're like, oh yeah, six days from grace. They're like, no, Smash Mouth, right? Yeah. I don't listen. I support the artist. The artwork. I just like the shirt. I just like the shirt. Is it cool to just like things, just without having like the culture behind it? No, absolutely. There's a whole number of things in this world that I admire, but I don't know that I'll ever have the time to really appreciate like on the, I don't know, the interactive level, I suppose. Like, you know, I tried with guitar, man. Really? I really love guitar and I just, I try to put in the time and I just cannot. It just is not taking. But I still listen to guitar, I still see people play it and not just the music, but I admire the craft, the effort that they put into it. Nice, nice. I can respect that. I can respect that. Yeah, do you have any examples? I really love, I really love guitar. But if I were to try to do something, maybe you can't put stand-up comedy on a T-shirt. Like you can put some good jokes, but like the craft behind telling a good joke, like I've listened to enough comedians where I'm like, yeah, like this guy's really working on it. Whereas this guy's literally just saying the first thing that comes out of his head. Sure. I wish there was a way you could represent that in T-shirts. And I've done some open mics once in a while and they were okay, but it only made me appreciate it more like the actual good people who do it. It's kind of like you and the guitar thing. And if I saw someone wearing like my favorite comedian on a T-shirt, I'd be like, yeah, that guy. I'd be like, I don't know, I was just a soft shirt. I'd be like, take that shirt off right now. Although what's funny for me is that when I see the stand-up comedians that like are really good. I don't want to know that it's like the hundredth time they told the joke and they like burst out each individual word and like pause. You know what I mean? I don't want to think it's like just coming out freestyle, you know? Yeah, it's kind of like when I found out wrestling was fake. There was a show in NBC called The Last Comic Standing. Yeah. And when I was like, oh, stand-up show, jokes every night, awesome. But it was the same routine each time. Yeah. I was like, oh, they're just saying the same thing over and over again. Yeah. But they're working on it. And I'm like, I get it. That's why they mean when you stole my joke. Yeah. There are some comedians who can do like jokes anytime they want. And there's definitely like artists that can like play whatever they want on their solo. Sure. And then skateboarders I'm sure just float tricks into it's out. You got the savants out there that can just do it. Yeah. All we can do is just support them with these shirts. That's right. That's what I do. I appreciate it, man. Yeah, thanks a lot. Thanks for the chat. Yeah, wonderful day, right? Yeah, it really is. I do miss the rain. I don't. I'm actually kind of glad. I'm like, I could use more days like this. Yeah, for sure. You don't get many. Take care. See ya. So hi, my name is Ty. And welcome to my channel. It's called Let's Chat. Here, any two people can talk about whatever they want to talk about. Topics range from things like sciences, pop culture, even religion. The technique that I use in my talk is called street epistemology. And street epistemology is a great way for any two people to have a conversation about something they deeply care about without having the conversation turned into an argument or debate. It keeps the participants open and willing to gain insight from each other. And if you like stuff like this, please check out this channel. Like and subscribe, whatever you gotta do. I don't know the names for the things, but just hang around. It would be really cool to have you guys be with me on the streaming. Anyway, see ya.
