BHAVNEET: Welcome back to Drive With Us.
TARANJIT: Where we almost lost her.
BHAVNEET: Yeah I always just drowned before this episode.
TARANJIT: Yeah it was almost not going to be an episode with both of us. It was probably just gonna be me and…
BHAVNEET: Which wouldn’t be as exciting, let’s be honest.
TARANJIT: What are you saying, I’m not exciting?
BHAVNEET: No, but together were even more. Cuz like what are you gonna do, be like oh yeah this one thing and then you come over here and be like oh my god what happened? And then go over there and be like I already know. Never mind. You would have to do like two different accents like hello, and over here be like…
TARANJIT: Okay, hold on a second. I thought we don’t have accents
BHAVNEET: Yeah you would have to make one so that sounds like two different people.
TARANJIT: I don’t sound like try to make try to do your voice?
BHAVNEET: Yes, but I almost drowned. Still remnants of water in my lungs.
TARANJIT: If she just stops talking in the middle that’s why. She’s still can’t…
BHAVNEET: Somebody made me laugh as I took a big swig of water.
TARANJIT: I didn’t do it on purpose.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, you didn’t even see that. I was just like gulp I’m thirsty. And then you said something and I’m like about to laugh and then it all went down.
TARANJIT: Yeah, she literally couldn’t breathe for like a solid two minutes.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, well, the water came out… of my eyes.
TARANJIT: Yeah. Literally through her eyes.
BHAVNEET: It came out some way right? Isn’t that what we needed?
TARANJIT: I mean, it could have went down further into your body and stayed and just helped when you just needed to breathe but I guess it could have just come out.
BHAVNEET: The lungs were just like, no, out the eyes.
TARANJIT: Reject reject. This is not good.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, yeah, I still feel the pain. I know where my lung hole is now. The one that goes to my lungs.
TARANJIT: What?
BHAVNEET: Not my windpipe. Like, oh my god. I can’t talk.
TARANJIT: Your lung hole.
BHAVNEET: Yeah. I don’t remember the human anatomy term for it.
TARANJIT: Well, it’s called the lung hole.
BHAVNEET: It’s called a lung hole?
TARANJIT: Apparently.
BHAVNEET: Oh, okay, well, people need to…
TARANJIT: That’s what it’s called now.
BHAVNEET: People need to update their human anatomy textbooks.
TARANJIT: Yeah, exactly. So every time you refer to that, it’s the lung hole
BHAVNEET: Yeah, the lung hole.
TARANJIT: But then there’s a scientific term. This is a layman’s term.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: Lung hole.
BHAVNEET: Lung hole. If you say it so fast. Lung hole. It’s like gung-ho, but lung hole. Let’s go.Lung-hole! Lung-hole!
TARANJIT: Oh, we’re doing this again. With lat-e-sir, remember?
BHAVNEET: Okay.
TARANJIT: Are you okay?
BHAVNEET: We’ll find out.
TARANJIT: Annoying fly.
BHAVNEET: I thought if I just slapped my hands together. I don’t want it to be caught between my hands. That’d be disgusting. I don’t want to know what fly guts feel like but I thought it would make it go away.
TARANJIT: It needs to stop circling our heads.
BHAVNEET: It’s above my head. I don’t understand. Puns!
TARANJIT: What? What now are we in like what is it?
BHAVNEET: Poetry.
TARANJIT: Poetry and you’re snapping your fingers.
BHAVNEET: I can’t snap, so nobody knew it until you pointed it out.
TARANJIT: I heard like a…
BHAVNEET: This.
TARANJIT: Like a very very like attempt. Like really trying super hard to snap and all you hear is like the little rub of a finger.
BHAVNEET: This is what you heard. That’s what I was doing.
TARANJIT: A very sad attempt at a snap.
BHAVNEET: I’m sorry. I just almost drowned.
TARANJIT: That’s your excuse this time, but that’s not your excuse every time.
BHAVNEET: That hurt. I felt like I broke my middle finger. This one. All in my right hand.
TARANJIT: Well, I almost lost a finger. So I know how it feels.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I’d rather not.
TARANJIT: Anyways…
BHAVNEET: Now that we’re both here.
TARANJIT: Now that we’re both able to talk, especially her.
BHAVNEET: And we survived that incident.
TARANJIT: She survived. I just sat here and hoped that she was surviving.
BHAVNEET: She was like, are you okay? And I’m like, no.
TARANJIT: I was like, What do I do? I can’t really do anything. You have to like help yourself.
BHAVNEET: Okay. But we’re good now.
TARANJIT: Are you sure?
BHAVNEET: Uh huh.
TARANJIT: It doesn’t look like your face is still like, you’re eyes are still remnants of water coming out.
BHAVNEET: Well, because I just cried the water out of my lungs.
TARANJIT: Out your lung hole.
BHAVNEET: Yeah out of my lung hole. All right.
TARANJIT: All right.
BHAVNEET: Yep. We did that. Anyone have any commute stories about almost drowning?
TARANJIT: Oh my god, that would be so bad!
BHAVNEET: That would be really bad. But…
TARANJIT: No, we don’t do that.
BHAVNEET: I don’t want that.
TARANJIT: I don’t want that. I don’t want anyone to have to go through that and tell us about it. No!
BHAVNEET: Well, I didn’t say go do it. And then tell me about it.
TARANJIT: Wait, what? I just missed what you said. Huh?
BHAVNEET: Yep.
TARANJIT: Okay.
BHAVNEET: Uh-huh.
TARANJIT: I guess we’re not repeating.
BHAVNEET: Cricket, cricket.
TARANJIT: So I have a question for you. I was I was thinking of this, I guess kind of like a driving thought, but not really because I was experiencing it. But then thinking of it. And then I was like, Oh, I want to ask her if she ever experienced this.
BHAVNEET: Well, it was a thought and you were in the car. So driving thought.
TARANJIT: It was a thought while I was experiencing it. And then after I experienced it thought.
BHAVNEET: Okay, that doesn’t work very well for a hashtag.
TARANJIT: That would be a super long. It would take up all the characters, and you wouldn’t be able to type anything else.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, very efficient.
TARANJIT: Well, I mean, the hashtag says it all so you probably don’t have to say anything else.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: But it’ll probably have like one…like you know, it tells you how many people use the hashtag- one. Ever used in your life.
BHAVNEET: That would be zero. It’ll be one when you use it.
TARANJIT: Yeah, exactly. That’s what I was saying. It’s only ever going to have a one next to, it’s never gonna have more.
BHAVNEET: It’s gonna happen every time you have one of those situations, just for you, so we should call it…
TARANJIT: The longest hashtag.
BHAVNEET: DWUP T’s Driving Thoughts.
TARANJIT: The longest hashtag ever.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: Kind of like supercalifragilistic. You know how they are like, the longest word or whatever they said it was. People used to say like…
BHAVNEET: That is, I think a hashtag.
TARANJIT: Yeah, so like, it will be our longest hashtag ever. Anyways.
BHAVNEET: Yes.
TARANJIT: So what happened was, I was coming home from work.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: And you’re laughing at me.
BHAVNEET: Because you keep doing this with your hand like you’re trying to fan yourself but you’re fanning above you. You’re fanning the fan that’s above us to make it go faster.
TARANJIT: Go away fly.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: I’m trying to make sure the fly doesn’t come here.
BHAVNEET: The fan sucks in the fly. Ew. Then there would be fly guts everywhere.
TARANJIT: It’ll probably smack straight into my hand.
BHAVNEET: Speaking of, I was walking once and this bug just flew into my face. And I was like, what the heck was that?
TARANJIT: Did it die?
BHAVNEET: I don’t know I swiped it away. It like hit my mouth and I was like…
TARANJIT: Ew.
BHAVNEET: Or it hit the little snot chute. It’s just like…
TARANJIT: Ewwww.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: I don’t want that.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I didn’t want that either but it happened.
TARANJIT: Keep your mouth shut
BHAVNEET: It was shut. It hit me in the face!
TARANJIT: At least you didn’t swallow it.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I was walking minding my own business going to go move the van from the post office to our driveway and a bug hit me in the face. It’s like no you don’t.
TARANJIT: No you don’t.
BHAVNEET: It’s like, uh, you and what army?
TARANJIT: You don’t move this van.
BHAVNEET: This key will. And the gears and the pedals.
TARANJIT: Yep.
BHAVNEET: Uh-huh.
TARANJIT: That’s how you drive.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I mean it is.
TARANJIT: Thanks for stating the obvious.
BHAVNEET: And a steering wheel like that…that’s important too.
TARANJIT: I mean do you really need that?
BHAVNEET: I mean, you don’t… but.
TARANJIT: You could put it on neutral and just push the thing.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, good luck with that.
TARANJIT: Yeah, so what was I saying?
BHAVNEET: Uh, you were driving.
TARANJIT: Oh right. I was coming home from work and I hit a traffic light.
BHAVNEET: You hit it?
TARANJIT: Yeah, I physically hit it.
BHAVNEET: Oh gosh, that’s a story.
TARANJIT: I jumped up and gave it a high five because it turned red so I was like come on!
BHAVNEET: That’s a big jump. Oh my god, you should play basketball. Next star player right here.
TARANJIT: No, no.
BHAVNEET: She might not be able to make the shots but she could jump high in slap a…
TARANJIT: Well if I can jump high then I could dunk.
BHAVNEET: Well if you don’t have good aim, you jump, you miss and you go into the crowd. Oh god!
TARANJIT: Speaking of aim so we were bringing groceries in yesterday, I don’t know if you noticed this, but there was like a bug on the wall like a flying bug.
BHAVNEET: A flying bug?
TARANJIT: I don’t know what kind of bug it was but it was flying.
BHAVNEET: Ew.
TARANJIT: It was very tiny though. And so I like tried, it was sitting on the wall I didn’t have anything else so I tried to like lift my leg up to like smack it with my shoe that was on my foot.
BHAVNEET: Was it outside or inside?
TARANJIT: Inside.
BHAVNEET: Aah.
TARANJIT: Right, like right when you enter the door and I kept hitting it right next to it and it didn’t move and then…
BHAVNEET: It was like if I don’t move…
TARANJIT: And then I lifted my foot again and I missed again and our brother is watching so he’s just let me do it. And I’m just like one more time and then I just like just missed again. And then he lifted his foot up and just…
BHAVNEET: He also has a big foot so it’s just like I’ll hit everything.
TARANJIT: Yeah but then it like kind of fell down but wasn’t dead it was started like still flying so then he like tried to hit it on the ground and then it kind of like disappeared so we don’t know if it was stuck to the bottom of his shoe or like if it like…
BHAVNEET: Splat-nated away?
TARANJIT: Yeah, so yeah.
BHAVNEET: Wow, good job. Nice aim. See, the thing is, I can’t hit anything that’s sitting. I for some reason, like can hit flies while they’re flying in the air. I’m just like oh no you don’t, smack.
TARANJIT: So get rid of this one.
BHAVNEET: I don’t have anything to hit it with. I don’t know how I do it but like it’s like I zone in on the fly. It’s like there you are. Come straight for this fly swatter. Oh, you’re dead. You ran in into it. I didn’t do anything.
TARANJIT: You’re really good at that. I don’t know how you do it.
BHAVNEET: But if it’s sitting right in front of me not moving. I’m just like, two feet away. What just happened?
TARANJIT: What happens to me as if it’s sitting I miss two or three times and then I hit but it doesn’t move. And then I hit it.
BHAVNEET: It’s like let me give you another chance. Another chance. Okay, Third time’s the charm. All right. That’s it. I’m done. This is not fun anymore. For me, it’s like I hit it… two feet away. It’s like that’s all you got? Fly away. The it’s like, oh, you’re moving now, smack! You’re dead. Okay, you did that on your own. Because it’s more like I didn’t kill you you ran into it. Wasn’t me.
TARANJIT: Don’t choke. Wasn’t me.
BHAVNEET: Wasn’t me.
TARANJIT: But this time it was me.
BHAVNEET: Yes, it was you.
TARANJIT: So back to the story that I can’t get through because we keep interrupting ourselves.
BHAVNEET: Continue.
TARANJIT: I was coming home from work I said for the fifth or sixth time by now. So you probably know.
BHAVNEET: I mean you do come home from work at five and six.
TARANJIT: So I came to this light and it just turned red. So I just missed to being able to make the turn and so I like sat the light and I was the first person in line and I kind of like zoned out.
BHAVNEET: Good job.
TARANJIT: And…
BHAVNEET: I can see where this is going.
TARANJIT: And I was like, didn’t notice the light turned green. And the person behind me kind of gave like a little polite honk like…
BHAVNEET: Aw, at least they were nice about it.
TARANJIT: Like a little, like they tried to tap it really lightly. Like eee. Like a really like quiet and like my I was like kind of coming out of being zoned out so I kind of heard it but didn’t process it. And then like as I was looking up and I was like oh the lights green. She like honked again, like a little like little tap honk and I was like oh my god, I’m so sorry. So I was like thinking how I like especially when I’m coming home from work. It’s like after a long day, and I tend to zone out more when I’m driving home.
BHAVNEET: Not good. Definitely not good.
TARANJIT: But I was thinking how I don’t like being the very first person in line.
BHAVNEET: I don’t either.
TARANJIT: That’s what my question was, I was thinking like, how I don’t like being the first person I’d rather be like the second or behind the first because if I do zone that I have a better chance of knowing the light’s green when the car moves because I notice the car moving in front of me as opposed to noticing the light turning green. So I even if I zoned out, I would know the light turns green once the car starts moving. So I was going to ask like are you the same? Would you rather be the first person in line…
BHAVNEET: Well, see the thing is I don’t necessarily hate being the first person it’s just I don’t like it because I don’t pick up speed fast enough. Other people like to floor the pedal. I don’t know why or how people like they go from zero to 50 in two seconds in a like Chevy Cruze or something like I don’t know. Any vehicle that’s not like a sports car. And I’m over here like I’m going to stay in the eco zone the whole time and pick up speed. And I pick up speed very slowly so I feel bad that like people… I don’t not terrible but it’s like people are just like oh my God, why are you so slow? And then they get on my bumper and it’s like well I’m staying the eco being fuel efficient because I have to drive really far and I want to save gas. So I like, make… like stay in the eco so that’s why I don’t like being in the front because then all those be demons can pick up and then they don’t pick up very fast it’s like well I can take my time picking up speed.
TARANJIT: Has it ever happened to you where you zone out and the light turned green and then you notice like a little a little after it turned green instead of right away?
BHAVNEET: Well I haven’t had anyone honk at me where I zoned out.
TARANJIT: Like have you ever had a situation where that happened.
BHAVNEET: I’ve had someone honk at me when it just turned green. I knew it was green.
TARANJIT: That happens all the time. But like it literally like give me a second to go.
BHAVNEET: I’ve had that happen. And I knew it turned green and I was about… like I let go with a brake and my foot was on the pedal about to push it and they’re like eee and I was like well you want me to stop? Like what? What? So… but I have zoned out before but it was a two lane road. So I noticed a car next to me go and I was like, oh, okay,.
TARANJIT: Well, that’s not the same.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I’ve zoned out. But there where there’s cars around me also going so when I see them move and I’m like oh that’s a green light.
TARANJIT: See that’s I like I rather have a car to help me because I feel like I’m less likely to sit there.
BHAVNEET: Or, it’s like not zoned out, what happened to me once recently was I started looking around, because it was a red light. And I’m like looking and I was looking… sometimes the traffic lights for the intersection like going the other way not like opposite. But like from the side. They… you can’t tell what it changes to yellow or red. I’m like staring at the traffic light one time and I’m like it looked like it was green. It was like all three of them were lit up and I’m like, which one are you on? And I’m sitting there staring at it for the longest time and then ours turned green and I’m looking at and I’m like, I can’t tell if ours is going to turn and ours was green and the car next to me started going and I’m like ah shoot is green! Okay.
TARANJIT: Aw, shoot. It’s green.
BHAVNEET: Yeah. What was the word? Lung ho?
TARANJIT: Lung hole!
BHAVNEET: Lung hole!
TARANJIT: Yeah. I was going to say something now I don’t remember. But yeah,
BHAVNEET: So that’s happened.
TARANJIT: Yeah, I do that too, though. I look at the other side’s light to notice, like be like, okay, I should be paying more attention because it’s about to turn green soon.
BHAVNEET: Exactly. Like, that’s how you know, I feel like a lot of people do that. Because when it turns yellow, about to turn red. People start drifting. And they’re like, I’m ready to go. I’m ready to go. I’m ready to go. It’s like, okay, and then they’re the intersection. It’s like, uh dude? Bye?
TARANJIT: You’re still going,
BHAVNEET: Yeah, you’re not ready to go. You’re gone. You go-ed.
TARANJIT: You go-ed.
BHAVNEET: You go-ed!
TARANJIT: You come back.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: Yeah. So that happened.
BHAVNEET: That happens.
TARANJIT: That happened. And then it happens.
BHAVNEET: Yes.
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: It does. A lot more when I’m coming home. Then when I’m going.
TARANJIT: I have another like commuting story. But before I get into that, I know you were like sitting up here and editing the one day and then you’re like, oh my god, there’s a mouse upstairs.
BHAVNEET: Yes. There was mouse.
TARANJIT: So thanks to our neighbors. We have cockroaches now. And then…
BHAVNEET: We still do?
TARANJIT: I don’t know if it’s still here or not. But like.. Because I feel like…
BHAVNEET: I haven’t seen a single one so…
TARANJIT: I feel like ever since they moved out the owner like sprayed some sort of thing and then they came over here.
BHAVNEET: Yeah. Cuz we’re it’s a connected townhouse.
TARANJIT: So and then you saw a mouse upstairs and then like, thanks to our dad, who always leaves the door open we always have mice coming in because he just leaves the door wide open.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: But I’ve never seen one upstairs before.
BHAVNEET: No, they’re always downstairs. And so like, I didn’t realize there was a mouse at first I was sitting there and I like saw something in the shadows, cuz like my room light was on and I was sitting on the floor, because it’s more comfortable, and the hallway light was off and your room’s across the hall and your light was off. And I feel like I saw this little shadow movement. And I’m like, oh, what was that? No one’s upstairs. So then I looked up.
TARANJIT: Except for you.
BHAVNEET: Yeah. Well was I really there? Who knows? Okay, so I saw movement. I looked up and I see the little tail as it runs into your room and I’m like, Oh my god, there’s a mouse so I’m like pickup computer put on bed pick up everything like me put me on bed. No, I didn’t put myself on the bed.
TARANJIT: But how’d it get upstairs.
BHAVNEET: I didn’t put myself on the bed. But then I like got up and I looked and it like peeked back out. Like it wanted to go into my room. I felt like and so it like peeked back out, took a couple steps out, came into the hallway a little, it saw me because I got up and I move forward. And it was like ah, and then it ran back into your room. And then I was like, Oh my god, there’s a mouse. So then I was like, looking to see if there’s anything. But, I don’t have anything bin my room to like hit it with or anything.
TARANJIT: Wait, what were you excepting to do if you hit it?
BHAVNEET: Or trap it, like just put a box on it or something. But I didn’t have anything. Okay, so…
TARANJIT: I can just see you… what would you hit it with?
BHAVNEET: A shoe?
TARANJIT: You would hit it?
BHAVNEET: A shoe.
TARANJIT: What would that do to it?
BHAVNEET: Injure it?
TARANJIT: I don’t think it would do much.
BHAVNEET: If there’s a box you could like scoop it up.
TARANJIT: Yeah, you can trap it. I feel like you’ll be more successful. Hitting it probably wouldn’t do anything.
BHAVNEET: But, okay, so it ran into your room. And then it came back out like two seconds later and it’s like do-di-do-di-do and it saw me still there because like I moved and I’m like oh, there it is. And then it was like run back in. So it really want to like go into the hallway into my room. I don’t know what it was trying to do. But it saw me so it kept running back into your room. And then I went downstairs and I’m like there’s a mouse in your room.
TARANJIT: I wonder where it is.
BHAVNEET: Ratatouille. Yeah. And we’re in your room right now. So that’s, that’s fun.
TARANJIT: Well I mean, we’re kind of making noise, so probably won’t come out.
BHAVNEET: I think it was like a baby mouse. So I don’t think it knew that you’re not supposed to come out until night when no one’s there.
TARANJIT: But we tend to give baby mice.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, but some mice are smart enough that they know you’re not going to come out when other people are around. I’m only gonna come out when nobody’s around.
TARANJIT: Yeah, we finally end up getting rid of them. And then our dad leaves the door open again another day and then we get more.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, so now we have another resident mouse. Anyone knows how to get rid of them permanently? That’d be great.
TARANJIT: Is there a permanent solution?
BHAVNEET: I don’t think so.
TARANJIT: I don’t think so.
BHAVNEET: The thing is, you can’t just throw a mouse outside your house because it will come back. You had to like I’ve heard you had to like take it far away because they have a sense of good sense of direction and they will come back if their within like if you just throw it in your yard or if you like throw it down the street or something they will find their way back. You have to like take them far away if you want to not kill them.
TARANJIT: So what, what are you supposed to do if you like trapped it on a trap and you’re supposed to like put it in my car let’s go for a drive.
BHAVNEET: Or, well if you put it on trap it’s gonna die because it can’t go anywhere.
TARANJIT: Yeah, but it’s gonna take a long time for it to die.
BHAVNEET: I know. But like if you’re just gonna release it. Don’t, you can’t just release it right there because then it’ll come back.
TARANJIT: Yeah. So what do you do once stuck on a trap?
BHAVNEET: Well, I mean, what I’ve seen happen is the trap goes on our back porch and it just sits there and dies over the next couple of days.
TARANJIT: Or does like a animal come and take it?
BHAVNEET: I don’t think we’ve had any big like hawks or anything.
TARANJIT: One time we did. It wasn’t a hawk. It was like a big bird. I don’t know what it was. And it was like ripping apart something in our yard and eating it.
BHAVNEET: Ew. it wasn’t a vulture though.
TARANJIT: No, it was a it was a decent sized bird. I don’t remember clearly what it looked like. But it was like… It was like destroying something. Like, oh my god is back. It was like destroying some animal like it was literally tearing it apart and eating it.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I don’t know kind of birds we have around here. I mean, I’ve seen vultures but it couldn’t have been a vulture.
TARANJIT: I don’t know what it was. But, yeah.
BHAVNEET: I don’t know, do we get like hawks and falcons and stuff around here? I don’t think so. Maybe hawks, but I don’t think we…I have no idea.
TARANJIT: I don’t know my birds. I just knew it was a big bird. Big Bird.
BHAVNEET: Big Bird. It was big bird? I think that’s bigger than the vulture. Big bird can’t fly.
TARANJIT: Yeah, I know.
BHAVNEET: Big Bird’s probably a man.
TARANJIT: I think yellow and I would have… I would have knew if Big Bird was in our…
BHAVNEET: I think Big Bird’s a man.
TARANJIT: You think?
:B Yeah, no.
TARANJIT: Or do you know?
BHAVNEET: It could be a woman.
TARANJIT: Whoa man.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: You think it’s a human?
BHAVNEET: It’s a hu-man.
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: It’s hu-man. It’s Hu.
TARANJIT: It’s you.
BHAVNEET: It’s Huuuu-man. It’s youuuuu. It’s you!
TARANJIT: Is it? It’s you. What are you doing?
BHAVNEET: There’s something on my toenail.
TARANJIT: What is it?
BHAVNEET: I don’t know. It’s like coming off a little bit when I scratch it. I don’t know what it is.
TARANJIT: That’s so gross. You’re rubbing it against, rubbing it off into my room
BHAVNEET: It won’t come off all the way.
TARANJIT: Yeah, we kind of got that idea.
BHAVNEET: You asked.
TARANJIT: Because you just…
BHAVNEET: You could have left all well alone.
TARANJIT: I was talking and all of a sudden your attention went to your foot. And then you were doing something.
BHAVNEET: Because I looked down and I’m like, What is that?
TARANJIT: You shouldn’t have looked at your foot.
BHAVNEET: Why not? It’s mine. Not yours it’s mine. Look at your own foot.
TARANJIT: I don’t want to look at my foot.
BHAVNEET: Okay, then look at your hands. Little baby hands. Oh, they’re so cute. Little hands. Big hand!
TARANJIT: It’s not that big. You just have long fingers.
BHAVNEET: Pianist hands. I want to know who came up with pianist? Like that’s the pronunciation?
TARANJIT: You pee in this?
BHAVNEET: Yeah. Ew! Like who came up with that pronunciation?
TARANJIT: I don’t know. Pianos then pianist.
BHAVNEET: Say it nasally. Like this. Pianist. Pianist.
TARANJIT: It sounds like you’re saying pee in this.
BHAVNEET: But isn’t that how you say it? Pianist?
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: Pianist. I pee and I missed. That’s what it was. Sounds like. Pianist. Does it. It doesn’t say pee in this.
TARANJIT: Oh my god. Why? Why? Why are we going this way?
BHAVNEET: You started it.
TARANJIT: Because of the way you said it.
BHAVNEET: Pianist. This sucks because I like playing the piano, keyboard.
TARANJIT: Yeah, but you haven’t played in like a long time.
BHAVNEET: Because somebody has to commute for a long time and has no time in their life.
TARANJIT: You could play it on the road at red lights.
BHAVNEET: Just roll down my windows. Old McDonald had a… ohp! Wrong, wrong key.
TARANJIT: Speaking of roll down your windows, we have a crazy story about where they roll down the window slightly. But…
BHAVNEET: Well, because would you roll down your window in this situation?
TARANJIT: Well let’s listen to this story first, and then answer that question because they want to know what we’re talking about.
BHAVNEET: Do you though?
TARANJIT: It was a good story.
BHAVNEET: It was a really good story. I thought it was the guy, the antagonist in the story got what he deserved.
TARANJIT: It’s like a novel or something.
BHAVNEET: Yeah. The protagonist. There’s two…
TARANJIT: There’s two characters in this story.
BHAVNEET: Yes, the antagonist got what he deserved in the end. As always, it’s a happy story. Happy ending. I ruined it.
TARANJIT: Well, I mean, you kind of just, you didn’t really ruin it. You just said, you didn’t say what happens.
BHAVNEET: Well, the antagonist gets what he deserves.
TARANJIT: That’s like a lot of stories, the antagonists get what they deserve.
BHAVNEET: It’s up to you to decide what you think he deserved. And whether he got it. Okay, so commute story number something three, I think.
TARANJIT: I think we’re more. I think it’s more like four or five. But…
BHAVNEET: Commute story now.
TARANJIT: Or… I don’t know.
BHAVNEET: Commute story next.
TARANJIT: Yeah, Commute story whenever number this is, from Tessa and Elliot Argue podcast.
ELLIOT:
So here’s my commuter story. I’m a driving instructor. So my whole job is basically commuting. Throughout the course of the day, I see just a little bit of everything. You can imagine from tailgaters, to running red lights, you name it, I’ve seen it probably sometime this month. One time I was on the lesson with a student who really wasn’t a bad driver, she was just very timid, which is again, like pretty common for new drivers. So we came over to this intersection it’s a big four way intersection, we were in the left turn lane, and we stopped at the first line at the light because it was red. And that’s what you’re supposed to do in case you’re unsure. And the car behind us honked at us. And I didn’t think they were really honking at us because we weren’t doing anything wrong, we were stopped at the line. So I was like, Oh, it’s probably for somebody else. You never know, people are crazy, you know. So of course, the car honks at us again, and starts waving his hands and I can see him in the rearview mirror, just like waving his hands everywhere. And I say to her, like, don’t worry about it, you’re not doing anything wrong, we’re just gonna sit here, wait for the lights turn green. And then we’ll turn and we won’t have to ever see him again and the man gets out of his car walks over to the driver side door and knocks on the window. And at that point, I have been doing this job probably for four or five years. And I had never seen anyone get out of a car in the middle of the road and knock on our window before. So I was very unsure what to do. We roll down the window just a little bit to hear him. And he was yelling at us for stopping at the wrong place at the red light and that we were stopped to the wrong place and the light was never going to turn green. And I assured him that we were stopping at the line like we’re supposed to. That’s what the law says to do. So we’re just gonna sit here and wait. And he decided to give us a lecture on why that was the worst idea in the world. Needless to say, in the middle of his lectures, the light turns green, we get the green arrow and I say just drive drive around, he’s standing far enough away from the car, we’re probably not going to hit him. By that point, really, you know, you’re kind of hoping maybe we hit him just a little bit. And so we drive off and make our turn and the car behind him starts honking at him because he’s just now standing in the middle of this intersection outside of his car with his door open as like the green arrow turns yellow. And so… it was a lot of fun. So that’s my computer story.
TARANJIT: Okay, so when I heard this story, it reminded me of I think I told it on this podcast where I was behind a car who didn’t pull up to the line all the way and the light wouldn’t like our signal light wouldn’t turn and I was getting so frustrated.
BHAVNEET: I hate when that happens.
TARANJIT: And I’m like we literally sat through three or four life cycles because he wasn’t far enough up.
BHAVNEET: Did you honk?
TARANJIT: Yes, but they didn’t do anything. And I’m pretty sure I told the story. And I mean, I definitely wouldn’t get out of the car and knock on the window.
BHAVNEET: That’s a little aggressive for me.
TARANJIT: But…
BHAVNEET: What if they have a gun? They clearly saw it was a student driver. So they’re like, I can do whatever I want but…
TARANJIT: What state was this in? I’m curious.
BHAVNEET: I don’t know. Hey, Elliot. Follow up?
TARANJIT: If he’s listening.
BHAVNEET: Please listen. Follow up.
TARANJIT: First of all, he’s a driving instructor so…
BHAVNEET: Kudos to you.
TARANJIT: He probably has a lot of…
BHAVNEET: You practically live with on the road. I thought I did but
TARANJIT: But he probably has a lot of commute stories.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: I’m interested to hear more.
BHAVNEET: Yes.
TARANJIT: I feel like he has a lot more intriguing ones like this one.
BHAVNEET: Yes. Please tell us more. Are there any more cool? Not cool. But see the antagonists got what he deserved cuz he missed the red light and he got honked at. This is what you get for being like crazy person and opening your door and then just standing in the middle of the road.
TARANJIT: Do the dance, go away fly.
BHAVNEET: Go away fly dance, sorry. But yeah, antagonist guy what he deserved, protagonists got away safe.
TARANJIT: But he was like, she wasn’t doing anything wrong. Like she was doing everything right. Like what was this guy’s problem?
BHAVNEET: And second of all, that is a very interesting story that you remember for the rest of your life. So when I was learning how to drive this happened.
TARANJIT: Yeah, that’s a story, you can tell at like you know, like, when you’re just talking with people.
BHAVNEET: So what was your experience like? I had a guy come up to my window and threatened to do like… I don’t know what he… Yeah, what was he really going to do?
TARANJIT: Yeah, what what was he like? He could just go around then if he had a problem. Like
BHAVNEET: Yeah, what was he gonna do?
TARANJIT: I don’t understand I understand.
BHAVNEET: But in your situation, it’s like have you not realized that we’re still sitting here and the light has turned green and red three times? There’s something wrong. Okay and first off, was it a place where you can’t turn when is green and like your…
TARANJIT: It was a left turning lane.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, some left turning lanes are like they turned the red off and you can…
TARANJIT: No, so it doesn’t detect…it doesn’t turn the turning lane light on unless there’s a car there because I guess there’s not a lot of traffic.
BHAVNEET: But like once both sides started going and it’s green.
TARANJIT: No, so there’s like…
BHAVNEET: Sometimes the left turn lane turns off so it’s like, you can just go.
TARANJIT: No, it just stayed red? Our arrow stayed red and the straight going lanes kept changing.
BHAVNEET: Well, that’s not fair.
TARANJIT: So like…
BHAVNEET: You could’ve gone around him.
TARANJIT: Yeah, but our light never turned. So it was both times on straight going traffic.
BHAVNEET: Was he like close enough off to it but not quite.
TARANJIT: No.
BHAVNEET: So then you could have gone around like go in the right lane go left in front of him.
TARANJIT: But there was not enough space for me to fit though.
BHAVNEET: That’s what I was asking.
TARANJIT: But he was like a decent amount behind that and just like
BHAVNEET: So when did he realize?
TARANJIT: He didn’t. Another car came into the next lane because there’s two lanes that turn left.
BHAVNEET: So why didn’t you go in the next lane.
TARANJIT: I was about to.
BHAVNEET: That makes no sense. Why would you sit there for three cycles and not move to the next lane?
TARANJIT: No, because…
BHAVNEET: And there wasn’t another car for three cycles?
TARANJIT: No this other car came too but they weren’t far enough up either. But they were like, closer than the car in front of me. So but after like I think two. The first cycle it went and I was just like, oh what and then after like the next one that car came right and then so I was like oh a car came so it will turn this time. That cycle went, didn’t turn and then they realized so they inched up a little so then I think the third or fourth cycle it changed but like.
BHAVNEET: Oh my gosh.
TARANJIT: It was frustrating. But if you were in this I guess it was a girl who’s driving with him? Was the student driver a girl. I don’t know. Whoever the student driver was, if you were the student driver or if you were just just driving right now as you were and this happened to you, this guy comes up to your window would you even roll your window down or what would you do in this situation?
BHAVNEET: I would get out like get out.
TARANJIT: Wait what?
BHAVNEET: Like get out of that, like drive away.
TARANJIT: But what if the light was still red?
BHAVNEET: I would ignore him until the light turned green and leave or very obviously be like pick up phone and be like 911. Hello?
TARANJIT: I’m surprised they rolled down their window.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I guess because he started knocking and like what else are you gonna do?
TARANJIT: Did he knock on her, the student driver’s side and he knocked on his side where he was sitting?
BHAVNEET: Well if he knocked on the student driver side then he would be on the opposite side of the road and an oncoming cars would hit him like…
TARANJIT: So he probably went to Elliot’s side.
BHAVNEET: Because if he could have… he should have clearly saw that it was a student driving vehicle so they probably went to the driver’s side.
TARANJIT: I still don’t understand what his problem was.
BHAVNEET: I don’t know, like he was frantically waving his hands before the light even like… what it’s like, as you’re driving away now you’re the one who looks ri-donk-ulous. Now you have people honking at you. So now why you probably missed the light by the time you get back to your car. It’s going to turn red. Antagonist got what he deserved, and they got away without any injuries mentally or physically.
TARANJIT: Yes.
BHAVNEET: So that is good. But yes, Tessa and Elliot Argue.

TARANJIT: My leg.
BHAVNEET: My leg!
TARANJIT: I have another like crazy, I don’t know if I told you this in person but crazy story that of like two trucks when I was driving to work.
BHAVNEET: What kind of trucks?
TARANJIT: There was two pickup trucks. Pickup truck number one
BHAVNEET: Oh man this is like a game show, pickup truck number one.
TARANJIT: I’m going to call it instead of like going like truck the truck this then you’re not going to get confused. Truck number one okay?
BHAVNEET: What kind of truck was it? Paint a picture.
TARANJIT: It was a pickup truck. It was a red pickup truck I don’t remember what model make I didn’t pay attention
BHAVNEET: You can tell by their body shape.
TARANJIT: I don’t remember. There was so much going on.
BHAVNEET: Okay.
TARANJIT: And he was behind a black pickup truck which is going to be truck number two.
BHAVNEET: Can you do red and black truck?
TARANJIT: I’m going to refer to it as one and two.
BHAVNEET: But I’m going to forget which was red truck and which was black truck.
TARANJIT: Okay, red truck. Black truck. Red is number one, black is number two. Black truck had a like trailer type thing on the back. It was kind of like, it’s not like a horse trailer but it was like half the size, you know like how people can carry like storage stuff in…
B:Like a big Uhaul trailer.
TARANJIT: Like black. Yeah, but not a u haul trailer. Like a personal one.
BHAVNEET: It looks like one of those lock boxes like a box with a lock. Like a chest.
TARANJIT: Yeah, so he had that on the back, so the black truck had that on the back and the red truck was behind him. So I guess because he, the black truck with a trailer, was like going a little slow because he was logging stuff.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: The pickup, the red one, was on his bumper and he was getting like he like what’s the word?
BHAVNEET: Frustrated?
TARANJIT: Like he just wanted to go around he was just like constantly riding this guy’s bumper and then he at least he did it legally. He waited for the dotted line on our side so he could over take this truck.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: But every time the dotted line would come, oncoming traffic would come so he would have to like, he like slowly like look over the line…
BHAVNEET: At least he was doing it safely.
TARANJIT: He like slowly would inch to look, cars come, back into the lane. Next overtaking spot comes slowly inch and back and then finally this one spot comes where…
BHAVNEET: Is there a cop?
TARANJIT: No, there’s like no cars so he like manages to get in front but it’s like a really short overtake because like a turn comes and then like, it’s like stop. So he like manages to go around and right when like it ends there’s car coming around the corner but he like squeezes himself really quickly in front of the black truck. And the black truck is like oh no you didn’t overtake me
BHAVNEET: Are you serious right now?
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: He didn’t see the truck trying to overtake him the past like how many times.
TARANJIT: And then so the red truck like hit the gas to like not be super slow for the black truck and the black truck’s like Oh no. And he hit the gas. So they’re both going super fast at the same time.
BHAVNEET: Okay, dude. Black truck dude, you have a trailer. So yeah, people are going to overtake you.
TARANJIT: So now this black truck is on the bumper of the red truck. And they’re both going the same speed now.
BHAVNEET: Maybe he was zoning out now I was like, oh, I’m going the speed.
TARANJIT: And they were out of my sight for a little bit because they like both hit the gas. Then I managed to catch up because the black truck was turning left like off the main road. So he was gone. And then I caught up to the red truck to find him stuck behind.
BHAVNEET: Another…
TARANJIT: A car this time, which was stuck behind the utility vehicle like a truck.
BHAVNEET: They’re not going to go very fast.
TARANJIT: So this car was like on the utility truck bumper because they’re like they’re going so slow but they didn’t want go, they didn’t go around or anything. There’s just like riding this person’s bumper so the truck…
BHAVNEET: Okay, so that car person probably couldn’t see anything. So they’re like there’s nothing I can do other than ride this person’s bumper.
TARANJIT: So then this red truck from first situation was riding this car’s bumper, which was riding the utility truck’s bumper.
BHAVNEET: This all sounds like it’s gonna end badly.
TARANJIT: So he started doing the whole waiting for the over-taking spot, checking to make sure no cars are coming.
BHAVNEET: At least he kept doing it legally.
TARANJIT: And then he found this spot then he like started to go and then oncoming traffic coming came so he like had to squeeze himself in between the utility truck and the car. And he made it in.
BHAVNEET: The car let him in?
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: Okay.
TARANJIT: Cuz yeah, it was gonna end up in a bad situation if it didn’t happen. And then he waited again, for another spot to get back to get in front of the utility truck cuz he didn’t make it. So then the spot comes and he goes really fast and around and like, as this, the red truck is going around the utility truck, the car persons like, Oh, I didn’t think about going around this car. And then you start going with him. And they both overtook the utility truck.
BHAVNEET: Why does the car person not do it in the beginning, then?
TARANJIT: I don’t know. But like literally as soon as he was almost done, as he was like, mostly done overtaking the car’s like Oh, me too. And then…
BHAVNEET: Oh my gosh.
TARANJIT: So they both went in front. And they both hit the gas and they were gone.
BHAVNEET: So it took him that long to realize that he could have overtook someone?
TARANJIT: Yeah, He was just riding this guy’s bumper and he’s like, Oh, I didn’t think about overtaking.
BHAVNEET: Oh, I don’t know the rules of the road. Oh, yeah. That’s what a dotted line means.
TARANJIT: Yeah. And then they were gone. And then like I was stuck, we had the utility truck, which was going so slow. But…
BHAVNEET: You should have overtook him.
TARANJIT: But we made it to a light where he turned and I kept going straight.
BHAVNEET: I always wish that like when I’m stuck behind someone slow they turn soon, so I don’t have to try and go around them.
TARANJIT: I don’t like overtaking because the road is full of turns and the overtaking zones are so short that…
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: And by the time they come there’s always oncoming traffic coming.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: There’s no point.
BHAVNEET: The road that I go down in the morning to go to work there’s decent sections where you can overtake and this one car in front of me. He overtook me first, like a while back, and then I caught up to him. It’s like it’s morning traffic. Where are you going to go? And it’s like, now what? And then there was this other car in front of him and he was looking to overtake them. He waited until like kind of the dotted line, around that area. And then he over…he didn’t do the whole let me check and see if cars are coming and then overtake, he just went for it. And there was this long line of cars coming. Well, at this point, there was two cars coming. And then he was still driving full on in the opposite lane. This car was coming head on towards it. And the car that was coming towards the one that was going around the other car.
TARANJIT: Coming towards the overtaking vehicle.
BHAVNEET: Yes. Literally had to go into the shoulder and was driving on the side. And they were just still going straight. They’re like yeah, move out of my way. And then they moved over.
TARANJIT: Oh my gosh.
BHAVNEET: Like that. The front car…
TARANJIT: At least the person…what I witnessed was a responsible driver and leaving things legally.
BHAVNEET: This was not a responsible driver. No, not at all. I could just tell from when they were tailing me. But no, the first car that was oncoming had to go fully onto the shoulder just avoid getting hit the second one realize they’re like oh my god, they’re pulling over onto the shoulder. So they kind of half went but then the car like weaved in between both of them and just kind of went back onto our side. I’m like, okay, where’s the cop now? Because there’s always a cop on that road. Where are you now? Like, what… what are you doing?
TARANJIT: They’re never there when they need to be.
BHAVNEET: Never where they need to be, like there was a cop somewhere else down the road. But they were not in the right spot.
TARANJIT: Yeah, it’s like if you’re down there, you could have helped prevent that situation that almost happened.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, like that person at the last second they were like this person is not moving over. What do I do? At least that part has a decent shoulder. There’s this one part on the road that you go on, on the way back where there’s a shoulder in quotation marks because the shoulder is the size of like, if it was one of those toy cars were like little kids sit in and they can drive it. Yeah, it was the width of that.
TARANJIT: What are you talking about?
BHAVNEET: There’s this, there’s this part where it’s like closer to… closer to Westminster? Maybe Kate Wagner, I don’t know, closer to there, and people turn left. And before the light people turn left, and then I tried to go around like, oh, shoot, there’s no shoulder.
TARANJIT: Oh, oh I know what you’re talking about.
BHAVNEET: Because there’s also a guardrail.
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: On the side. And I literally had to hit the brakes. And I’m like, I’m not gonna fit in that. What is that?
TARANJIT: Oh, yeah.
BHAVNEET: Who made these lines.
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: It’s literally the width of a toy car that kids can like sit in and drive in, those things.
TARANJIT: I squeeze through still.
BHAVNEET: I was like, because this car was not fully over to the left of the yellow line.
TARANJIT: Oh, well then that changes it.
BHAVNEET: They were like in their lane like center. And so I was like, oh, nope. Luckily they turned as I was like about to approach them, like really close. I still had to hit the brakes, but they did because they turned.
TARANJIT: Speaking of a situation almost happening. I was driving and this car was coming. So I was going one direction in the car coming the opposite direction or a van not a car coming the opposite direction. And she was like driving over the yellow line like onto my side of the road.
And I guess…
BHAVNEET: And you didn’t do anything.
TARANJIT: Because I was too exhausted and tired. Like my brain was like not fully….
BHAVNEET: Your brain was just like, oh look a car. Whatever.
TARANJIT: I didn’t like get like you know, I…when you see cars coming towards you, like jump or get scared or like freak out?
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: And you’re like… my heart nothing. And I’m just like, this car’s coming at me. And like I didn’t decid to like move or anything. She realized that like once you got so close to jerk back into her lane. And then I was like, oh my god! And then I kind of like moved over a little.
BHAVNEET: That’s too late. You’re like, Oh, this is Mario Kart. If I hit something, I’ll just keep going. A new… another life like I’m good cuz it didn’t happen.
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: All good.
TARANJIT: Don’t drive exhausted, tired.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I’ve seen a bunch of people like drift towards the yellow line. And I just like I see them further down, coming towards the yellow line. So I just start going towards the shoulder people behind me are probably like, what is wrong with this person in front of me, but then they see the car and then like, oh, move over and I look back and all the people are moving towards the white line. They’re like, let’s give them some space.
TARANJIT: Start the trend.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, that’s like, Oh, okay. I know what I’m doing. I watch everyone around me. Not always but when I do.
TARANJIT: When I do.
BHAVNEET: I don’t always watch everyone around me. But when I do,
TARANJIT: I move to the shoulder.

BHAVNEET: Yeah, you do. But you don’t introduce it as a segment.

BHAVNEET: I’m available now.
TARANJIT: Where you not before?
BHAVNEET: No. Go ahead ask your question.
TARANJIT: Are you sure? Can I ask it now?
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: Are you listening? Okay. What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever seen at a gas pump/ station
BHAVNEET: Like in terms of posted or people?
TARANJIT: People like what have you seen people doing at a gas station or gas pump?
BHAVNEET: At a gas station? Oh gosh, I have to think about this. I go to them all the time.
TARANJIT: Because I saw something crazy.
BHAVNEET: Other than the smoking is bad. Okay?
TARANJIT: That was a sign but I saw a person incident.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I gotta think about that. You tell me yours.
TARANJIT: So I was driving home and I passed by the gas station now I was just like the gas station we always go to because it’s cheap and so I was like just looking at the price and then I looked over and I saw this guy, It was like a younger guy so probably like maybe early college late high school, like young and he had his pass… not passenger, his driver’s door wide open. He was leaning against the car next to the pump that was in his car like he was filling up his car and then he had this like takeout container like huge takeout container and he was just leaning against it and he was just like stuffing his face eating while his car was pumping.
BHAVNEET: Like I only have the amount of time it takes for gas.
TARANJIT: It’s like the car can’t be the only one getting fuel, I gotta get fuel too.
BHAVNEET: I only have the amount of time it takes for this pump to pump fill up my gas tank I gotta finish my food in that time.
TARANJIT: I’ve never seen someone eating a full on meal while pumping gas.
BHAVNEET: That should not be safe right?
TARANJIT: First of all you touched that handle that which probably has gas on it. So now you have gas on your hand. So now you’re kind of consuming some of that with your meals, because he was eating with his hands. It wasn’t with utensils.
BHAVNEET: Oh, that’s disgusting.
TARANJIT: Yeah, that was my…
BHAVNEET: Okay, so I can’t think of the craziest right now. But I can tell you about a situation when we were going somewhere. Recently. I think this weekend. This weekend, I think and you are filling up gas in the van.
TARANJIT: Uh huh.
BHAVNEET: While you were doing that I was watching the person in front of us because it’s like two pumps behind each other. So I was watching the guy in front of us, first off he had a brain cap. His baseball cap was literally a brain like it has a graphic of a brain on it so it like it looked like his brain was right there. And then after what I witnessed I was like maybe you should put that brain in your head.
TARANJIT: No. How did I not see this?
BHAVNEET: I don’t know. But you were busy over there teaching how to pump gas. And then so I was watching him and first off he looked like half asleep and I don’t know, but he was pumping right and then he was holding the handle rather than like putting the little thing so it automatically shuts off. So if you’re holding the handle how do you know when it’s done? You don’t it just keeps going right?
TARANJIT: I don’t know I never held the handle.
BHAVNEET: Yeah, I don’t think it will automatically like if you are squeezing it or will it? It might still like
TARANJIT: It might do something.
BHAVNEET: I don’t know but he was holding it and then he was watching the palm like I guess to get to a certain price I don’t know or amount I don’t know but then when he was done, supposedly done, he then took the handle squeezed it turned it upside down so the whole handle was upside down
TARANJIT: In the gas tank?
BHAVNEET: Yeah, in the gas tank. And then I guess I don’t know when he let go of the thing but then he was like dump it in there. Like, get in there. I guess if he turned it upside down it fills it up more. I don’t know but he turned it upside down and he was like shaking it like get every last drop out. I don’t know. And then he put it back.
TARANJIT: What?
BHAVNEET: I’ve never seen anyone turn the handle upside down. Like…
TARANJIT: I’ve only ever done that when we were at BJs and it’s like you can use both sides and you have to pull the thing. The only way the pump fits is because it’s upside down.
BHAVNEET: That’s because you had to. No, he had the normal way. And then he turned it upside down I guess to like get every possible bit that’s in there still after he left go out and like get in there. I don’t know. But he did that. And I couldn’t get over his cap so it was like I don’t know. I totally stereotyped this guy because of what he was wearing.
TARANJIT: Bad.
BHAVNEET: And the way he was like just moving around.
TARANJIT: Bad.
BHAVNEET: Yeah.
TARANJIT: But then he saw his actions so then.
BHAVNEET: Yep.
TARANJIT: Yeah.
BHAVNEET: And he was wearing his weird shirt. I don’t know what like what it was. But like, I don’t know, it was on the front. But on the back. It was just a white shirt and on the back it was just a bunch of gray circles down his spine.
TARANJIT: Huh?
BHAVNEET: Yeah, that’s all it was. It was weird. I’m like, what’s the point of that? Here’s my spine. The different bones here’s
TARANJIT: The vertebrae? What are they?
BHAVNEET: Different brones, bones on…
TARANJIT: Brones.
BHAVNEET: Brones.
TARANJIT: Bros bones.

TARANJIT: So we got lung holes and we got brones in our spine.
