Speedway

So finally we get done and then I asked him to take me to my car.

So we stopped at Speedway.

And he has me going in and get gas, or no, wait, I'm sorry.

He gives me the car before I left, and I walked to Speedway, I think.

Either I walked or I drove his car.

So I went over there, got gas and cigarettes and something to drink, I think, and then came back.

So you go to, after you leave the apartment, you say you went to Motel 6.

You left there.

Capital One denying us for our Discover cards.

And let's add Speedway to the mix.

Yeah, this one, I'm going to have it right up probably by the time that the podcast comes out, too.

But this is kind of shameful by Speedway.

And it's an issue that they have with their own individual gift cards.

They're speedy cash, speedy ones for fuel or for in-store merchandise or fuel cards.

to tunes of thousands, tens of thousands of dollars.

Just in the diamond group alone, we have probably around 10 data points.

And, uh, um, hey, I got a kick out of what you were saying about the air, the air hoses.

Um, I stopped by a Speedway the other day, and- $3.50 and you had to use your credit card-

No.

Oh my God.

No, no, you're, you're exactly right.

And then, you know, like, and then another, another, another glaring instance, we found a Speedway convenience store in Tucson that [laughs] literally had 115 registered voters using its location as their address.

Wait, do you remember which one?

And as you know...

Mm-hmm.

You know, the law i- is very, very clear and, and that convenience stores are not permitted to be used as resi- re- residences for voter registration.

But they had 115 registered voters using that Speedway convenience store to vote.

In Speedway, in Pima County.

And at that time, it was going to be Calvary Chapel Eastside.

So right out front of Brandy Chase Apartments is a Speedway gas station.

And one night after picking up a couple of videos at the Blockbuster, many, many moons to go.

when life was simpler I stopped to grab a drink hey funny funny story so I was in a Calvary Chapel for a long time and they would say it's not a sin to drink but if you drink and stumble on someone stumble someone it would be a sin so it was kind of like a sin to drink But we were on our way out of the Calvary Chapel, so I decided I'd go to—this is a totally different time.

This has no relevance.

I just want to share it with you.

But I went over to that Speedway to get alcohol for the first time, and I got Magnum Steel.

If you know what that is, shame on you.

You know what I mean? It was fast gas over there.

And Speedway.

Yeah, it was Speedway.

And then there was a fast gas.

Yeah, but we stayed in like those little apartments or whatever.

whatever.

Yeah.

So we had Fast Gas, Speedway, there was Century.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

This one's from Speedway

for sure.

Just ask

For example, uh, gas convenience stores.

Remember when it was just Speedway? Speedway had a monopoly.

Now, there's like, I don't know, 20 other different, uh, chains, and there's tons of these gigantic, enormous convenience store gas stations.

Uh, so I'm just wondering, like when you drive around town and you see these things, h- has it ever dawned on you? It's like, gosh, we've got, we've got so many places, so many options, and sometimes that's too much.
