Do you ever find yourself with the desire to welcome the Crocs in your life?
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (0:18)
Yeah, I've got some genuine real tree crocs from when I'm out in the stand, you know.
Joe Rogan (0:23)
I know guys who use those as camp shoes. They like to walk around camping them because you're wearing heavy boots in the mountains.
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (0:30)
Yeah, well, they're nice to kind of keep with you as a spare. You know, you soak your boots or you're just trying to go on out of the house real quick.
Joe Rogan (0:38)
Brian Simpson now has crocs and stage crocs. So before Brian Simpson goes on stage, he takes off his walk around crocs and he puts on his pristine stage crocs. It's hilarious.
He used to do it with sneakers. He used to walk around with crocs and then he would wear sneakers on stage. And then he went from crocs to stage crocs.
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (1:02)
Yeah, well, maybe I'll look into that. I need to get some new boots. My boots are like, these are the ones I always wear. And we were walking through the airport yesterday and they're like literally, one of the soles is falling off. I'm like, I got to figure out something.
Joe Rogan (1:14)
You got to get them resold, man. They're authentic.
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (1:17)
Yeah, these are my genuine.
Joe Rogan (1:19)
You earned them. People pay for those.
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (1:22)
I thought about it. I was joking with my buddy the other day.
I went and changed my oil at his house before we drove to North Carolina. And I left the empty jug of the dirty oil sitting in his garage. And I was like, I'll get it. Whatever. He said, no, man, he said, I'm selling that on eBay.
That's Oliver Anthony's authentic used motor oil out of his truck.
Joe Rogan (1:40)
You'd probably get 20 bucks for that.
There's a lot of people that definitely would would buy that. But what I mean, people buy used clothes because they want to wear clothes that look like, you know, they have character, you know, like it drives me crazy. When I buy people, when I see people with pants that just are shredded all over the place, like your knees are exposed.
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (2:00)
Yeah, we'll see the pro tip I have for that is just go to Goodwill. You can you can get real clothes for real use.
Joe Rogan (2:05)
But that's that's extra like hipster authentic. If you get if you go to a real used clothes store, what do they call those vintage vintage vintage look?
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (2:15)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (2:15)
Oh, yeah. If you could buy some holy T-shirts and some dirty hippie wore to a Rolling Stones concert in the 1970s, you can get that now. That's worth a lot of money.
You know, if like he died of a heroin overdose and he kept the fucking T-shirt at his mom's house, she's had to sell it. That's worth a lot of money.
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (2:33)
I've tried to hold on to things that I think I could sell down the road like I've still got the I've got the strings that I recorded Rich Men North of Richmond on my guitar. I was going to I almost threw him away. I was like, hold on a second.
Joe Rogan (2:43)
You could definitely in hard times.
Well, that would be like an honest sale. People can't say, oh, he's a sellout.
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (2:51)
Yeah, I'm just selling junk I have. Actually, I'm considering selling my truck just if any I don't know. I think we talked about this before, but if somebody it's worthless to me, it's got 325,000 miles on it and a salvage title and I still daily drive it. But I thought, man, if I could sell this and somebody pay 50 grand for it or whatever and send it towards a charity, like it would be pretty slick to do.
Joe Rogan (3:14)
It has a salvage title?
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (3:16)
It does, yeah.
Joe Rogan (3:16)
What happened to buy it when it was already there?
Christopher Anthony Lunsford (3:20)
No. Well, it's a 2007 Suburban. I paid a couple grand for it years ago.
And then just here recently, I had to have it towed. It broke down and the rollback driver, I guess, I don't know if he was under the influence or something or what, but he unhooked all the chains off and then tilted the bed back.
So the whole truck rolled right off the back of the rollback. Oh no. It totaled the truck out. It bent a bunch of stuff under the drive shaft and the front of the frame and all. And of course, I'm sitting there trying to figure out what to do with my truck. And here comes all the police. And they're like, Oh, is that really you?
