Expectations vs Reality: Growing Up – Matteo Lane & Nick Smith – I Never Liked You 80

Matteo Lane | March 30, 2026



We thought adulthood would look one way, and it turned out… not that. This week, we talk about what we expected life to be like when we were younger — and where it ended up instead.

    This podcast 8 months old by now, but balancing a checkbook is basically just keeping track of what you’re spending by writing down what you’ve spent because checks took awhile to clear through the bank. So sometimes people would go shopping on Wednesdays and write a check when they didn’t have the money for it because they got paid Friday and they knew the check wouldn’t clear until then 😂

    or what if someone didn't cash your check until 3 months later and made your check bounce. It's the same concept if you use a debit card and you run out of money you get a $35 fee. Only with checks now the other person doesn't trust you either because the bank wouldn't cover the money

    My sisters family had a shihtzu named Chloe 😭 yes, they would occasionally put her hair up in a little ponytail in between grooming sessions so she could see 🥹

    Having the same vehicle as your cousins makes sense…. Your parents and aunts and uncles probably went together to a dealership and got a deal purchasing two cars… my dad and my stepmom gave done this a few times, so it still happens

    I used to think the mailboxes across from houses were people who lived in bushes and I called them "bush people"
    My mom went along with it and I thought people lived in bushes till I was in third grade.
    Every time we passed a bush I would scream "LOOK MOM Bush people live there!"
    I also thought power plants made the clouds and was confused why we had to make clouds. My parents again, made me believe this until I was in middle school. 😂😂

    It's peculiar, I see these guys laughing, making jokes and bitching at each other every time, but in this video. They are both talking about their growing up and childhood selves. You see them living a different lifestyle as you, but when they were talking about parents and surroundings and all that stuff. We reaffirm that they're like us too.
    Like us, as in their current self as social media and all, not as gay(that I can completely relate).

    Balancing a checkbook means keeping record of what checks you issued and for how much. Because you would cut a check, but it wasn’t clear how long it would take exactly for that check to get deposited/cashed. Ideally it’d be done quickly after you issued the check and it’s easier to keep tabs on. But some people don’t cash their checks right away. So there’s this floating window of limbo time between you cutting the check and the funds coming out of your bank account. And you need to take that into account for much more you can write checks for, or else you run the danger of writing bad checks that “bounce” (the bank refuses them due to insufficient funds in your account, and they’ll charge you penalty fees for that.) But some people would also take advantage of that floating window and write checks and give one when they knew at that particular second they don’t have enough funds, but they could leverage that window so that by the time the check was being deposited, the funds would be there due to like payday at work or some other future deposit being made.

    "Hi, uncle Matt!" "Hi Frankie" continues like that wasn't the cutest thing ever
    If my nephew did that, it would derail the WHOLE conversation

    I expected as a kid that if I work full time at an above minimum wage job I'd be able to at least afford a basic house because I saw that was possible when I was a kid. Too bad in the last 20 years that affordability has been wiped off the map.

    Chicago to California, Matteo?
    We once drove in a van full of Mexicans (lol, mom, sibling,.cousins, tío/tía), we went from Tampa, Florida, to Arcelia, Guerrero!
    It was so awesome to see that part of México. 🇲🇽

    In civil law it's the plaintiff(the person bringing the lawsuit) vs the defendant (the person being sued). In criminal law it's the Prosecution (the state/ government/the people/the DA or district attorney) vs the defendant (the person being accused of the crime).
