LFF on the entitled, and slice of the Failcast. If you get bored, count the Sure, Right, and Exactly occurrences.
LFF: "But, there is a word I use continuously that's uhh, entitled, where it just seems like, whu- what, what is forgotten are dealing with people at uhh, say restaurants. Dealing with people at stores, dealing with peo- and it becomes kind of this 'MEHHH' and I always can tell. And this is my tell, when we go out with the little guy to the diner for breakfast or something like- you've got the old people, men and women, that might come over and give my little guy, who is the cutest little guy in the world, a smile"
BLOBB: "SURE."
LFF: "And I love that. That to me is grandparent type interaction and I have no problem- And then you have the people that come in and have the 'MEHHH' and they don't speak at their meal, they don't look at anybody else, and they have that kind of vibe about them.
BLOBB: "RIGHT."
LFF: "And you get these people occasionally complaining about things that don't matter. Uhh, don't matter at all. And uhh, you know we call - some might call first worl- world problems."
BLOBB: "RIGHT."
LFF: "The one thing that got me when I was just so put off, so. Down here, we have a vibrant recycling community, I am recycling more-"
BLOBB: "Are you a part of it?"
LFF: "than I ever have. Absolutely."
BLOBB: "And it's fun, right?"
LFF: "Recycling is huge in south Florida, because it's a very uhh nature-"
LOLSCAR: "Everglades."
LFF: "oriented area down here."
BLOBB: "SURE. Mangroves."
LFF: "Water, that type, all- bird sanctuaries, all that garbage, that's what people talk-"
LOLSCAR: "Fish farms."
LFF: "I don't know about fish farms Oscar, I don't think fish farms falls into that category."
BLOBB: "I don't know Mike, we can move from there to puppy mills, I mean you've got so much wild life down there."
LFF: "Everybody has, uhh probably in every neighborhood in America has the little recycling bin, right?"
BLOBB: "SURE"
LFF: "Where you put your bottles and your paper products and your plastics.."
BLOBB: "BLUE... right?"
LFF: "And it's blue and it's a little bin. "
BLOBB: "Right."
LFF: "So down here, the powers that be, for the sanitation department down here, uhh, the city, or the uhh county, I'm not sure who did it. Uhh, they decide they are going to provide, uhh, each homeowner with a 66 gallon stand up trash barrel for recycling."
BLOBB: "That's fantastic."
LOLSCAR: "Big win."
LFF: "And they, they come out-"
BLOBB: "I had to buy mine."
LFF: "And everyone gets one, everyone gets one for free."
[STUPID SCHTICK]
LFF: "Uhh, but anyways, so they've got these giant blue, recycling on the side, with the big uhh black flap that goes over the top and I'm like 'Man, how cool is that, this is really going to enco-' well, on the news that night, all hell broke loose."
BLOBB:"WHY?"
LFF [whiny voice]: "'It's too big' and you had the people, 4 or 5 them whining on the local news about the fact that 'It's too big. My little barrel's too big. I don't- I don't think I could fill that barrel up in a month.'"
LOLSCAR: "Oh.... my.... god..."
LFF: "And I'm like, blow it out your wrinkled ass grandpa. And I just said, this is what people bitch about when- you know, you've got guys that are hanging off of trucks that brought these things out to-"
BLOBB: "RIGHT!"
LFF: "people's house, you know SH- pooped (I almost said the s-word) SHI[BLEEP] them out in the yards of these people for free, we didn't have to pay for it, and now people are complaining because they don't have- how many square feet would that take up? I mean you find a place for it."
BLOBB: "Well it's tall."
LFF: "I know it's tight quarters down here."
BLOBB: "It's taller rather than wide-"
LFF: "It's tall, it's an extra trash barrel!"
BLOBB: "So you know what, it takes up less room than a proper recycle bin."
LFF: "Exactly."
BLOBB: "The kind you would go to home depot or lowes"
LFF: "Right"
BLOBB: "And pay forty bucks for"
LFF: "Exactly"
BLOBB: "that I have and they take up all kinds of room, this takes up less room."
LFF: "Exactly. And I'm sitting uhh, totally irrational, watching the news, and saying 'I hate them. I hate, I hate them.'""
LOLSCAR: "'Cause if you really look at that report, they're screaming about them, because A. they don't believe they'll be around to benefit from what is the reversal of global warming."
[CHUCKLES]
LOLSCAR: "Or B, they're just bragging they don't consume nearly as much, uhh, goods as we do. So they don't have recyclables."
BLOBB: "Or perhaps C, Mike. Maybe they're uptight because they see that bin as the size of a human body. And they don't want to end up on the curb one Tuesday or Thursday."
