38 - Run It Back To Age 10: Would You Change Everything?

This episode of the Stale Bread Podcast gets into a wild “what if” — what if we could go back to being 10 years old, but keep everything we know now? The guys kick it around with a mix of jokes and real talk, figuring out what they’d change, what they’d keep the same, and how that kind of reset would mess with friendships, family, and big life moments.

They get into the upside of having a head start on life, but also how heavy it would be knowing what’s coming — the good and the bad. There’s a lot of back-and-forth about the butterfly effect too, like how one small change could throw everything off in ways you can’t predict. It turns into a pretty funny but also low-key deep conversation about time, choices, and whether changing the past is even worth it.

At the end of the day, it circles back to something simple: the people. More than money or success, it’s really about getting another shot at time with the ones who mattered most.

We want to welcome all five of you back to the Stail Bread podcast.

Mike (01:27.714)
Fuckers.

Rico (01:28.534)
Should be six.

Keller (01:31.383)
Ooh.

Jeremy (01:33.806)
man, that was for my fucking soul. Damn.

Mike (01:37.646)
Gosh.

Rico (01:39.598)
Nice.

Mike (01:43.534)
Well We have a question. We have a question for the night, Jeremy. You were gonna tell ask me what we're doing tonight? We have a question of the night. And it is simple as this. Without thinking too hard, yes or no.

Are you restarting life at ten years old with everything you know now? Jeremy. Keller. Rico.

Jeremy (02:04.267)
Yes.

Keller (02:06.285)
No

Rico (02:09.389)
No.

Mike (02:11.468)
Why or why not? The floor is open. I am I am a yes, one hundred percent.

Jeremy (02:18.252)
So honestly it's none of your fucking business, but I mean I guess for the show we'll talk about it.

Mike (02:23.598)
Why are you why or why you not restarting a tech?

Jeremy (02:29.048)
I've got all the knowledge I have now. Yes. I'm not the smartest motherfucker in the room. That's you, Mike. It's all your fucking advanced trivia. But I do know quite a bit and the hardships in life have shaped me into a emotionless rock that I think would do pretty well at ten. So if I could start over and not be young and dumb, I I I think I'd do pretty good.

Mike (02:57.92)
I don't

Keller (02:59.95)
No, I think I would fuck it up worse.

Jeremy (03:03.598)
Wow.

Keller (03:06.19)
I would mistakes that I haven't made yet and just it would just roll into something worse, I think.

Mike (03:13.888)
Even knowing everything you know now?

Keller (03:16.054)
Yeah, probably. I make mistakes all the time.

Keller (03:21.43)
I'm doing a podcast with y'all fuckers. What's more what what the fuck did I do to deserve?

Rico (03:25.848)
Thing you've ever done.

Jeremy (03:28.318)
Yeah, but you could restart I see what you're s you're saying. You could restart and end up only doing a podcast with Rico.

Mike (03:36.766)
True.

Jeremy (03:42.508)
And that's when Keller said whizzle with a hard R.

Keller (03:46.176)
Wizard.

Rico (03:47.374)
Yeah.

Mike (03:50.28)
These damn whistlers all in my yard.

Jeremy (03:53.551)
Mm-hmm.

Rico (03:54.478)
I would just be his ass just 'cause he said Whistler. I don't think nobody's supposed to say that at all.

Mike (03:59.422)
Yeah.

Jeremy (04:00.11)
Fuck you just say? Whoa, what's wrong with it? It's fucking weird.

Keller (04:06.281)
I better for this for like the white wizards.

Jeremy (04:09.441)
you would ask about white wizards.

Keller (04:15.15)
I was asking you.

Jeremy (04:17.998)
No.

Mike (04:22.135)
So what about the gray wizards?

Rico (04:24.088)
Gandalf.

Keller (04:26.412)
He was a white one too.

Jeremy (04:27.778)
He was a white grey wizard who became a white white wizard.

Rico (04:30.84)
was gray at first, then he became white, then he went back to gray, then he became gay.

Jeremy (04:35.758)
Kind like Michael Jackson.

Mike (04:37.678)
I just thought he was Ashy Larry.

Keller (04:44.12)
That was no.

Rico (04:47.116)
Yeah, caught real caller, sorry.

Jeremy (04:49.518)
Starting over.

Mike (04:52.344)
Yeah. So all right. So

Mike (04:58.956)
What's the first thing you do differently when you're ten ten years old? Now as you had now you have all this knowledge at our ages. What's the first thing you do differently?

Rico (05:09.078)
Investment.

Keller (05:13.066)
Wait, if I have all the knowledge?

Mike (05:14.67)
Yeah. Yeah, you have all the knowledge now.

Rico (05:18.028)
I think you invest. Tell mom to invest.

Jeremy (05:22.54)
I'm starting a business.

Rico (05:24.516)
T

Keller (05:24.704)
I start a pr I am I'm doing that too, but I'm starting a predator or a predatory loan business.

Rico (05:31.998)
No.

Jeremy (05:32.494)
To other kids in the neighborhood?

Keller (05:37.621)
That's where I'll start.

Rico (05:38.678)
Can't do much.

Keller (05:41.691)
see. That's cause you're still got a ten year old mind right now.

Rico (05:46.826)
No, it's because we're ten years old. Like w like I mean we could figure it out, but getting around

Jeremy (05:54.124)
I was making money at ten, but I was doing it the wrong way. I was working hard. I ain't gonna do that now. Yeah, that totally.

Keller (06:00.972)
Corner.

Mike (06:03.896)
Conestok.

Keller (06:05.25)
Yeah.

Jeremy (06:05.966)
I was I was fixing bikes and doing odd jobs and mowing grass and little shit like that. With

Keller (06:13.568)
Little boy shorts on and fishnet stockings.

Jeremy (06:17.27)
And you know there's an age difference between me and Keller and that's actually how he got put on the list by watching me.

Keller (06:24.534)
Bullshit.

Jeremy (06:26.154)
He actually paid me to put on.

Mike (06:29.322)
Wow.

Keller (06:30.978)
I wouldn't pay you to take off.

Rico (06:35.79)
I gotta remember what was going on at ten for me to do something differently. Because at ten you're what are you doing? You're you're taking a bath at eight o'clock and going to bed to go to sleep for school the next day. come on, motherfucker. You was staying right across the street. You you was in the fucking bed round nine, you know. You being white and all, you probably had privilege and shit, but you wasn't

Jeremy (06:51.554)
You were

Keller (07:04.652)
Being able imagine being able to know that your parents are lying to you though and all that. Like you would know all the bullshit.

Mike (07:10.984)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rico (07:16.352)
I I know it but I don't really it kinda doesn't do it for me, you know.

Jeremy (07:26.166)
No, the bullshit detector is strong now. Having that at ten years old and being able to call people out and be like, yeah, no, I know the truth. Santa's definitely not real. neither is the tooth fairy. I'll tell my fucking siblings if you don't give me two hundred bucks.

Rico (07:36.728)
Listen, you be

Rico (07:42.756)
You okay, I'm not extorting my mother.

Jeremy (07:45.486)
Here's the thing, Rigo. If I extort my mother, I'm actually taking her money and investing it into something that I know we would profit from. And then I can give her that money back plus interest. The next time I extort her, she'll have even more to give back. And then I can just continue to reinvest that.

Rico (08:08.573)
At ten.

Jeremy (08:09.794)
At four.

Mike (08:10.91)
Or

You do all the investment for her and show her that, hey, I know the future. Give me the stuff I could get this done for.

Jeremy (08:22.552)
But wait, that's that's risky. You gotta be careful how you go about that because you don't wanna end up in a psych ward. My memory's not that good. I'm not gonna recall daily events and shit like that. That guy over there's gonna trip

Mike (08:36.861)
no no I'm talking about like stu the stock market. Like you prove to your your your parents the first couple of times like hey I know what I'm doing and then then you'd start taking bigger chunks and investing and things like that.

Jeremy (08:51.052)
Well, I said investing, but it wasn't necessarily just stocks and bonds and things like that. Like investing into businesses I know will take off. even if I wanted to start my own lawn care business. At ten years old I start actually knowing how to invest, save my money properly. Even if I wanted to take that

Keller (09:02.956)
Like I have

Rico (09:15.425)
And there

Keller (09:15.694)
I think you would be the key inf investor though, like when it's a startup. That's what I think you would do.

Mike (09:22.006)
Yeah, you'd be the like the majority majority owner. Mm-hmm. Yep. So go find Mark Zuckerberg and tell him about the idea for Facebook. And you do everything right so you don't get caught up like those other partners got caught up and you kick his ass out.

Keller (09:43.18)
No, you start off with MySpace and then you know when MySpace is going down, so you get out before that and then you go to Zuckerberg.

Rico (09:52.332)
You guys have to do a lot of fucking research because at ten there was no internet for me. At ten there was no internet. I think it was just no, I I it was just coming on. Secondly, traversal getting around was a bitch. at ten. So I I I don't want to go back with the mind I have because it ruins the fucking fun.

All right. At Ted I was curious. I was I was a sponge. I go to

Jeremy (10:23.276)
More fun.

Mike (10:24.18)
Exactly. I'm having a hell of a I've got I've got a Ferrari by the time I can drive. What are you talking about?

Rico (10:26.094)
no, cause you're tin.

Jeremy (10:31.776)
I know how to make explosives now. Yeah.

Mike (10:34.646)
Ha ha ha.

Rico (10:35.726)
Guys are wow. Going back at ten in at this in reality I would go back just to live it all over again. Might do different shit, but

Jeremy (10:45.526)
If you do it right, see back then there weren't as many cameras when I was ten years old. Right. So if I wanted to rob a bank at ten years old, no one's gonna suspect me and I know how to do it. I just need the cameras gone.

Mike (10:58.848)
I would know that I would have anxiety so I could like combat every single anxious situation I had ever been in and be so much better off.

Rico (11:12.174)
But that made that experience made you who you are. You know what I'm saying? Like at ten year

Mike (11:17.004)
Deteriorated me too.

Rico (11:19.384)
Well that that's expected.

Jeremy (11:22.902)
Think of it like this, it's it's all the progress that we have made with a clean slate.

Mike (11:28.878)
Exactly.

Rico (11:31.07)
If we're going back at ten, we're doing un unspeakable things for the money. We already know that. We already know we're gonna we're gonna get there. Yeah, see see it

Jeremy (11:42.284)
I'm gonna do unspeakable things regardless. It's not just money.

Mike (11:48.78)
pro the problem is every I think every single friend that you have, every single family member like like Keller said, you lose all of it.

Keller (11:59.032)
Unless you hunt those people down and instead of it being fate, you make a connection.

Mike (12:05.282)
That's that's not a bad idea either. You can go back and you know, retry your relationship. But that would be nuts.

Jeremy (12:07.534)
Right.

Keller (12:12.662)
Yeah. You already know what pisses them off though. So it might be a better relationship. Right. It might be. What about you are you gonna still have a a child, Jeremy, and married fifteen times?

Mike (12:17.582)
Yeah.

Jeremy (12:27.019)
well

Rico (12:28.43)
shit, if you did if you did that again, that would be insanity. For real, for real.

Jeremy (12:33.954)
Well see, that is hard because I love my kids. They are awesome. However, I would like to have been better set up before I had them. Life would not have been nearly as difficult.

Keller (12:46.104)
Do you think any of those relationships would have changed if you were set up?

Jeremy (12:51.01)
No, no, not at all.

Rico (12:52.842)
If he was rich, I I guarantee you he'll still be married if he was rich.

Keller (12:58.094)
Course.

Jeremy (12:59.354)
Yeah.

Rico (12:59.822)
To me.

Jeremy (13:03.726)
What the f What the f

Mike (13:07.458)
What the fuck?

Jeremy (13:09.182)
Rico (13:09.91)
You gotta forget me and me me and Jeremy go way back.

Keller (13:13.939)
Way way too.

Rico (13:16.526)
Yeah.

Jeremy (13:17.55)
I'd be able to buy you a nine volt battery for that smoke alarm.

Mike (13:25.74)
Ha ha ha.

Keller (13:27.949)
Ready.

Mike (13:29.262)
Damn. We were we were talking about what do you do with the money that you've made? You no we I'm sorry, we were talking about the relationships. You go back and make make your relationship better and your kids, things like that.

Keller (13:49.57)
Just in a Rolls Royce.

Mike (13:51.31)
Exactly, in a in a Ferrari.

Jeremy (13:53.718)
Yeah. No No, I love my kids. That that's definitely a hard hard choice, but hopefully we can find a way to work it out where I have them again or no, I don't know.

Mike (14:06.434)
So here here's the here's the question, and we this might be for later with the butterfly effect. Now that we have all this information.

Do okay, are we all going back at the same time? Like are we all travelling, all four of us? Or is it just one?

Rico (14:28.716)
Yeah.

Jeremy (14:32.788)
Tell you what I'll do.

Mike (14:34.616)
Do we how do we down?

Jeremy (14:40.462)
How about how about this? I'm the youngest. Keller you're the oldest, right? Yeah. How old are you? Forty

Mike (14:40.662)
Huh.

Keller (14:51.096)
Fuck three. I don't

Rico (14:53.848)
What do you fuck sounds a real eight?

Jeremy (14:56.68)
Alright, so the y the youngest I'm willing to go is five. So you would be thirteen. Mike that would put you at ten. Rico, that puts you at forty seven. So I think that's a good range of ages for all of us. We all go back and

Keller (14:57.622)
That's how I feel every day.

Mike (15:14.727)
He's just barely a year older than me. So

Keller (15:19.242)
Me and Mike are gonna run shit.

Mike (15:21.44)
We're gonna run this fucking shit.

Keller (15:24.098)
Gonna be so rich, we're gonna buy you as a baby.

Rico (15:27.182)
Ha ha ha ha.

Mike (15:28.107)
Ha ha.

Jeremy (15:30.221)
Okay.

Rico (15:30.958)
I I hope you're not talking about me too because there's some

Rico (15:38.11)
That's how they did that shit.

Keller (15:40.482)
Don't make it into a racial thing.

Rico (15:42.738)
no, I would ask

Jeremy (15:45.902)
Don't make me turn this boat around.

Keller (15:50.242)
We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Mike (15:52.268)
Hey, life finds a vote.

Jeremy (15:54.776)
Mm.

Mike (15:57.183)
man. All right. So so we're Keller and I are running this town at ten.

You know, now that we know things are gonna happen, do we try to stop them? Like nine eleven.

Rico (16:09.526)
I don't think so.

Keller (16:10.742)
I think you do I don't think you do. I think you put people you don't like in the Twin Towers.

Jeremy (16:15.438)
Yeah.

Rico (16:19.03)
That'd be hard to fucking do Well not you.

Mike (16:20.43)
What if somehow what if somehow you forget and you wind up as like a stockbroker and you're there?

Rico (16:30.869)
Mike (16:31.488)
Imagine.

Jeremy (16:32.686)
Not a ten.

Rico (16:34.712)
Good one.

Mike (16:36.02)
I

Keller (16:36.994)
Are you gonna forget the worst day of your life, Mike? Yeah.

Jeremy (16:39.574)
I was I was

Rico (16:43.212)
Yeah, nine eleven I was in eighth grade, that's all I remember. And I think I was like in

No, I I was something like that. But yeah, that's that's wow. You can be a stockbroker with all that knowledge you have at ten. Yeah, you by the time you're eighteen you'll be you'll be there.

Mike (17:01.256)
Yeah. You you could you could go into a different career and like, Hey, your office is gonna be here I'm like du No But you know when it happens, so you don't go, obviously.

Rico (17:16.186)
They'd be a crude trick if you go back at ten, but they strip all the important dates of man, like, out your memory. So you go through all those dates and you don't know nothing. And it's just like you went back at ten, but

Keller (17:32.718)
Who's stripping the memories?

Rico (17:35.438)
To send you the fuck back, I don't know. It was a side it's a it's a it's a conundrum killer.

Jeremy (17:43.222)
What if it's like those those stories you hear where somebody gets in a car accident and they live an entire lifetime? They marry, they have kids, everything else, and then they come out of this coma and it's holy shit, I've only been gone five minutes? What the fuck? Jennifer, no, my kids. I don't Yeah, you've never heard stories like that?

Rico (18:03.83)
What

Rico (18:09.196)
Nah, nah. Ricky Morty maybe.

Jeremy (18:13.058)
Maybe not that extreme, but what if it is something like that? And you wake up and you're ten years old and mommy and daddy are dead. They just crashed into a tree. But you're ten and you have all this knowledge. So now Batman I was going there, you fucking pickle faced

Keller (18:31.886)
Or Daredevil, according to the last episode.

Rico (18:37.432)
So so you you become Batman?

Jeremy (18:41.218)
Why not? Yeah. Why not? You know how to survive Yeah, you know how to survive on the streets.

You'll be a you'll be an orphan, you go to China or whatever and train, climb that mountain, give the blue flower and learn all that fucking bat jitsu shit.

Keller (19:01.28)
Also, you can also have you're you're gonna know all about politician secrets, because they've already happened, and you can extort them.

Rico (19:10.36)
But it would be also bad it would be kinda sad because you have to relive deaths that you don't think you could have relived. You feel me? Yeah. And even with all the money, yeah, you still, but you know it's still coming to an end. You know what I'm saying? True. Because I don't know nothing about it. But you can make a mix here, but

Keller (19:12.834)
Becoming powerful.

Mike (19:20.77)
Yeah.

Jeremy (19:21.336)
Yeah, but you even without money with them.

Jeremy (19:34.062)
why not? I'm cool with that.

Keller (19:39.982)
I think Jeremy wants to remember all the people he killed.

Jeremy (19:42.83)
Absolutely. Relive it.

Mike (19:44.702)
I would I would go back and spend time with the the family members that I didn't get time with. That's for sure.

Rico (19:56.622)
I mean, so you go back and you for the for the it's not just for the money, it's for the relationships that you you c you know yeah in your family. And and which is that's why I say it'll be a bad thing because knowing what you know at ten, I think that would that as a ten year old, the stress, you can forget to the stress levels.

Mike (19:58.243)
You

Jeremy (20:20.254)
No, see I think I think I think it would shut the fuck up. I think it would be powerful, but not a bad thing. Death is inevitable. It's going to happen. At least you're gifted with the knowledge of when and how it's gonna happen so you can make the most of their lives and spend time with them. And ten years old, your body's fresh. You haven't hit

Rico (20:22.222)
You're supposed to be

Jeremy (20:46.272)
True puberty yet. So you don't have hormones flowing through you. You just you got all the knowledge and you're emotionally intelligent enough, not you, Rico, to be able to cope with these things.

Mike (20:57.858)
Yeah, but you you're ten years old with an adult mind. Do you fit in?

Rico (21:01.89)
That is that's what I'm saying. That's a that's a fucking disease places at places. Alright. You can't you as a ten year old you're not supposed to know all that shit, all right? You're supposed to be I mean we did it before.

Keller (21:12.578)
Do you want to fit in and be dumb like them?

Jeremy (21:17.322)
I'd be the coolest kid.

Keller (21:19.924)
Exactly.

Mike (21:23.402)
I don't know. I I I I I would feel I would feel somewhat isolated and you you kind of would be like a loner.

Jeremy (21:31.362)
Well see, that's why we all need to do this together.

Mike (21:35.31)
So that we we so Keller's back first. He's like he's got a year and a half to get get a get ahead and come and come find me because No, I was in Jacksonville.

Keller (21:45.28)
In New Jersey.

Keller (21:49.702)
okay.

Jeremy (21:50.37)
Yeah, it's like after this podcast this is gonna happen. So we're making the plan now so that once we hit this leave call button, we get shoved back into our ten year old selves.

Rico (22:04.384)
I'm gonna be honest with you. I might fuck up the mission myself because I go back at ten year old me and I'm just gonna live ten year old me. Because life is so fucking hard now. Like I go back and tell you I might forget that, I supposed to get rich, I supposed to know this and just live being a kid. Because you can't do it. Hey, listen, we stay close to each other enough to know that.

Jeremy (22:25.57)
That's your dumbass.

Rico (22:33.135)
Every weekend was a a venture with you at ten.

Mike (22:40.885)
Ha ha ha.

Keller (22:43.054)
You can do that on the side.

Jeremy (22:44.544)
On the weekends. This time, like I said earlier, we can make explosives.

Rico (22:52.886)
Terrorists. You know all the events, the the school shootings, the the club the club posts, you know. It's not, but you gotta read

Jeremy (22:53.774)
Yeah.

Juvie, I'll get up.

Jeremy (23:04.63)
That weight is not yours to carry, man.

Keller (23:07.934)
Coop in the dryers, it's gonna be bombs.

Jeremy (23:11.406)
they were bombs.

Rico (23:14.454)
yeah, the different

Mike (23:15.342)
I just know January thirtieth I'm going looking for my my boy.

Jeremy (23:20.14)
Yeah, man. Come see me on my tenth birthday.

Rico (23:24.936)
That'd be weird. On your tenth birthday, do you guys show up like who are you? Yeah where you're

Mike (23:29.752)
Yeah the yeah.

Jeremy (23:31.19)
you imagine showing up to me just like a few hours too early and I'm still nine year old me? Who who are you? no. Who the fuck are you? 'Cause I cussed.

Mike (23:44.034)
Yeah, 'cause

Jeremy (23:46.36)
Mommy, help! Mommy!

Mike (23:48.664)
So let's see, I was I say it would be it would be weird because I was a

Senior in senior in high school when you were Yeah. Yeah. So that'd be that'd be so odd.

Jeremy (23:59.874)
Yeah, you were eighteen.

Rico (24:02.743)
That's good.

Jeremy (24:05.567)
Mike, let me get in your let me get in your van and drive across state lines.

Mike (24:09.858)
Hey hey Jeremy's mom.

Jeremy (24:13.325)
you that bitch from the club.

Mike (24:15.982)
Keller and I show up, you know. We're like, Let's go, Jeremy.

Jeremy (24:23.447)
No.

Keller (24:23.958)
still threaten to kick me and my pussy.

Jeremy (24:26.51)
good times. I'm glad I'll keep that memory at ten. But no, you guys go and and rent black suits, sunglasses, and earpieces because anyone who had an earpiece back in the nineties, they were they were Secret Service or something. Yeah. And you do show up in in a black suburban or shit, fucking Ford Bronco back then, and come talk to my mom. Say your son has a special gift.

we need to take him with us. from the government.

Mike (24:59.874)
Yeah, we're eight years ahead of him, so we've already got, you know, the Ferrari money. So we could get Urban, no problem.

Jeremy (25:06.498)
Yeah, just just come get me and I'll be like, Sorry mom, I'm gonna go save my country or what the fuck ever and then I'll go with you and we'll train and we'll get me up to speed and then I can come back and it we'll make it work.

Rico (25:20.248)
That's a horrible movie.

Keller (25:22.454)
You could also change the whole country by what you know.

Jeremy (25:26.157)
Yeah.

Mike (25:26.638)
Well that yeah, that gets that gets into the butterfly effect. You know, you change do we start changing things? do we risk messing up those the that knowledge?

Jeremy (25:41.122)
See, and that's that's I think I'm okay with that because we're going back with the knowledge. We're going back mainly to me, the important thing is we are equipped to deal with the problems that come in the world. So if we do happen to have a butterfly effect and change things around, we'll be equipped to handle it. I I don't want life to be boring like I know exactly what's going to happen all the time. So yeah, at a certain point, once we're set up.

Let some shit change.

Keller (26:12.808)
but what if it's something major that Byron or something major that Rico wouldn't like? Like segregation never ended.

Jeremy (26:23.951)
well then we gonna have us a house.

Rico (26:24.672)
shit.

Rico (26:31.098)
I I'm I'm I'm not upset at that because if we go back the that far, you know, I think we were talking it was like segregation never ended, then you guys would probably never shit fuck that. Like if you guys came to my house at my You guys was coming in You guys my mom was not having that shit. What the white boys want? Listen, mom.

Mike (26:46.99)
Where you go with this?

Keller (26:55.116)
Yeah, I I think I think we'd all get together and buy you and then it would be Well that's the way we

Rico (27:00.201)
Damn, Keller.

Jeremy (27:03.254)
You don't do it. I originally thought you were going somewhere like Rico would be upset because gay marriage is still illegal. But no, you you drove it home.

Rico (27:15.774)
He's not really original. He only has racial jokes.

Keller (27:20.18)
No.

Rico (27:21.794)
But he could.

Jeremy (27:22.73)
Yeah, they trade every Thursday night.

Keller (27:25.784)
Hey now. I don't join your meetings anymore, Jeremy.

Rico (27:26.935)
You're an author.

Jeremy (27:31.522)
I'm not talking about NA, I'm talking about the the other three letters that your name starts with.

Keller (27:39.842)
Daniel.

Mike (27:41.12)
Keller.

Rico (27:42.338)
Did

Jeremy (27:46.774)
Got dry cleaning on every corner for them robes.

Mike (27:52.898)
Well.

Jeremy (27:54.936)
Well,

Mike (27:55.512)
See going going back to the butterfly effect, do you go and stop like these tragedies like like Columbine?

Keller (28:03.976)
No.

Jeremy (28:05.834)
If n I mean, y if you wanna dedicate a portion of your life to that to take care of as many of them as you can But one thing I would look into, and this is a small example, is like you know what, never mind. Amber alerts are annoying. We need to go back and save that girl.

Rico (28:13.31)
Mm-hmm.

Mike (28:13.474)
Sure.

Keller (28:26.082)
But what if you stop something like that and then it just becomes a problem that's worse later on? More time to plan.

Jeremy (28:32.546)
That's where I was going. I don't want to advocate for not saving a child on on the air.

Rico (28:40.024)
I mean you advocate, you know

Keller (28:42.734)
Is it really called Amber Alert because Amber was the first one?

Jeremy (28:46.198)
I believe so, yeah. I think so.

Keller (28:48.192)
I did not know that. That's interesting.

Jeremy (28:51.446)
Yeah, before that they didn't send massive alerts like that.

Rico (28:54.38)
And they were still on milk cart.

Jeremy (28:57.848)
Yeah. Which Byron or which Rico never got.

Mike (29:01.292)
Let's take let's take Columbine for example. Do we do we go back and take out Dylan Cleveland and Eric Harris?

Keller (29:09.132)
Take him out, then you're going to prison. No. You just kill somebody for not doing anything.

Mike (29:13.664)
Or do or do we report

Jeremy (29:15.808)
We'll we'll be that we'll be there that day with our Batman gear.

Mike (29:20.238)
I don't know, man. They came they came

Jeremy (29:23.086)
With our Batman gear it'll be ready. And you know what else?

Mike (29:27.752)
have. We're not eighteen when that happened. So we couldn't get firearms legally.

Jeremy (29:32.532)
No, but we can make bombs.

Rico (29:35.138)
This bomb talk makes you outside terrorist.

Mike (29:38.478)
He's not getting off of this this bomb stuff. Blow up their car.

Rico (29:43.358)
You the outside terrorists.

Jeremy (29:46.67)
Look.

Mike (29:48.204)
And then send send a anonymous tip into the police saying they were on the way.

Jeremy (29:52.43)
Listen, I like to think I'm not primitive and that I'm somewhat culturally refined, but blowing shit up really is a lot of fun.

Mike (30:05.769)
It is. It definitely is.

Jeremy (30:08.61)
You're in a giant field, there's nothing around, you got a microwave that's no good anymore, and you put a little pipe bomb in it and boom. It's a lot of fun.

Mike (30:18.882)
Little info.

Keller (30:19.682)
Yes. I gotta go back in time to stop Jeremy from ruining the environment, blowing up the microwave.

Jeremy (30:20.556)
Yeah. Some ten or

Rico (30:25.728)
It's Venice.

Jeremy (30:27.008)
Damn. Well, here's another take. What if not only do we go back to ten years old, but we also change time periods?

Rico (30:37.368)
Meaning

Jeremy (30:38.986)
Meaning we go as ourselves somehow, I'm not digging into the plot too much, to like the eighteen hundreds or hell the fourteen hundreds.

Rico (30:50.104)
Nope. Nope.

Mike (30:54.062)
Four.

Keller (30:54.668)
About die of scarlet fever?

Jeremy (30:56.616)
Or the twenty five hundreds.

Rico (30:59.714)
Which

Mike (31:00.014)
That I'd be down for.

Rico (31:02.158)
The future?

Mike (31:03.628)
Hell yeah.

Jeremy (31:04.992)
You'd still be equipped with the experiences of life, but everything would be new to you. But you're a child, so you can learn all that new shit and that new culture.

Keller (31:13.878)
And you have robot butlers.

Jeremy (31:16.204)
But you probably couldn't get rich very well very easily. Or everyone's dead.

Rico (31:18.966)
Everybody is rich in it.

Rico (31:25.39)
That's so dark.

Jeremy (31:26.99)
US what I'd say killed him.

Mike (31:29.614)
Yeah.

Do we go back and save J F K from getting getting shot?

Rico (31:36.974)
No, no, I think.

Jeremy (31:37.944)
From which angle? I think Well, there's three of us. Four of us.

Mike (31:40.918)
Yeah, we c yeah, we can take them all out at the same time.

Rico (31:42.83)
No, no, no. Listen, this is what I think we do. I think we leave everything the same because that's who shit that's how it shaped America. It may it gave us character. As much as I don't like to see people everything and because how who else, how else do you have like the youngest president and he dies? Like nobody else has that in history. And it's like if we don't have that, then what else is

Jeremy (31:53.462)
I don't like this character.

Mike (32:07.534)
He just wants he wants Kennedy dead because he's white.

Keller (32:12.984)
That's all it is.

Rico (32:14.038)
Allegedly.

Keller (32:16.704)
Allegedly white.

Rico (32:17.486)
No allegedly I wanna I just think we don't go back and like if you had to like don't get on the Titanic, would you tell them people not to get on the Titanic? Come on. You know just like I know, it would be the funniest thing to see them people drown. It was funny.

Jeremy (32:32.494)
I don't want to kill people, I just wanna go boom.

Keller (32:33.358)
So fuck!

Rico (32:40.157)
Okay.

Keller (32:40.874)
He wants to be the reason the Titanic sinks.

Jeremy (32:48.31)
I was born in the wrong culture.

Keller (32:50.53)
Yeah.

Keller (32:54.478)
Was that a Indian?

Jeremy (32:55.988)
I might edit that out.

Rico (32:57.91)
Jesus Christ Jeremy, what what was that? Was that your work?

Keller (33:02.766)
he was it was Talibanter.

Jeremy (33:10.955)
Ha ha ha.

Rico (33:11.694)
Ach better.

Mike (33:13.248)
Silence.

Rico (33:16.813)
GUI!

Jeremy (33:17.71)
We just lost all of our followers.

Mike (33:20.98)
All right. So let's let's re let's wrap this after everything, after all we've just said. Final answer. Are you restarting or are you staying where we are? Keller.

Keller (33:43.246)
I think I have a change of heart and I'm gonna say yes.

Mike (33:48.246)
Gotta go back.

Rico (33:50.584)
Gotta go back, Kate.

Mike (33:51.874)
Rico Rico.

Rico (33:54.456)
I'm I'm actually gonna have a change of heart too. I think I'm gonna go back, but all for all the right reasons.

Jeremy (34:00.323)
Doubt it.

Rico (34:01.678)
I think I'm gonna go back and I'm a I'ma, you know, finally get my credit score above six hundred.

Jeremy (34:08.014)
No, you're not You're not changing race. You're just going back to Ted.

Jeremy (34:20.171)
Yeah.

Rico (34:20.747)
Hell!

Keller (34:24.181)
Be the inventor of right guard so you don't have to steal that shit.

Jeremy (34:28.618)
I understand consequences and the next time I see you I get it if you want to beat my ass.

Mike (34:34.358)
Jeremy. Staying or going.

Jeremy (34:37.044)
I'm I'm keeping my answer locked in. I think about this every fucking day.

Rico (34:41.398)
'Cause he's a sad, lonely man.

Jeremy (34:43.79)
Yes.

Mike (34:46.484)
I got I gotta go back. I'm good definitely going back one hundred percent. Just and it's solely just to to spend time with the people that I didn't get to.

Rico (35:00.662)
so it's

Jeremy (35:01.066)
You're you're a good man, Mike, and luckily we'll be there too. Yeah, so that we can not be good men and get us ahead.

Rico (35:08.32)
I we'll be there to have the money to help you you can cry into the money, you know.

Jeremy (35:15.213)
Yeah.

Mike (35:17.581)
On that note, Jeremy, why don't you take us out?

Jeremy (35:21.3)
Alright, remember everyone.

Peace, motherfuckers.

Rico (35:29.398)

Jeremy (35:36.994)
