Miles
Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the you betcha radio podcast.
Tyler
Hi.
Miles
How is everyone feeling? We're at full strength. We tried to do the podcast yesterday, but Jared was out sick. He came into my office, he said, gonna throw up.
Jared
That's not really an exaggeration.
Miles
It was a little bit like that. Yeah, your voice was a little shaky. Did you throw up?
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Throw ups. In two weeks, you guys are next.
Ryan
Did you get a video of it for proof? For proof, for proof. Otherwise everyone's gonna be like, oh, he was faking it. He hasn't had a day off in a while.
Miles
So one would be nice next time to get some visual proof that you did throw up.
Jared
Okay.
Miles
But also, you have the puking trophy now.
Jared
Yep.
Ryan
Must be a water on that side of the room or something. Yeah, because we. We've been doing fine over here.
Miles
We're three for four on puking this year because remember, I was out sick earlier this year. Two day flu bug.
Tyler
All eyes on you.
Miles
You have you.
Ryan
Well, I haven't puked at my new house yet, and I've been in there since February 14th.
Tyler
Have you scoped out where you're going to do it when it comes you?
Ryan
Plenty of options.
Tyler
Picked a bathroom.
Ryan
Plenty of options. A lot of outside. A lot of outside surface. Surface area to puke to. My dog puke three times in the. In the dirt yesterday, so.
Jared
Oh, there.
Miles
Well, it depends on what time because your dog could have a puking trophy.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Oh, and then speaking of puking, how could I forget about this? I was. So she puked twice. I'm like, okay, she was just eating grass. And then I brought her inside and I'm. I'm pouring bubbles. I'm like. So I'm like on my knees pouring bubbles into the bathtub for my kid, and my wife comes in. She's like, oh, God, Birdie threw up. Oh, God, your feet are in it. So I must, like, lifted my feet up and then, like, put them back down right in the puke. So she just feels the need to puke right right next to me.
Tyler
And that was.
Ryan
I know.
Miles
And anyways, yeah, yeah, it's a lot of puke talk right off the top. So glad to have you back, Jared. I. Last week I visited my dad's job site. They were working in my neighborhood and I, you know, I told the crew, hey, I'm gonna swing by with some. With some dent with some donuts, and we're just gonna shoot the ship for 15 minutes. Morning break.
Ryan
Well, your dad obviously wasn't There.
Miles
He wasn't there.
Ryan
No, he's in charge.
Tyler
So he was doing bids somewhere.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So I, I went to the gas station, picked up some donuts, made sure I had a good arrangement. There's a lot of pressure involved with getting donuts. You know, you got to make sure to get some cream filled ones, some long johns, maybe even a fried roll, maple fried roll, you know, cake, donuts. You got to be mixing it up, which I did, and I executed okay. On and went down the hole. Just like old times, you know, Donut hole. One of the, One of the guys I didn't know was working there was a fan, so took a photo with him.
Tyler
Oh, and he got roasted the rest of the day.
Miles
He probably got roasted.
Ryan
Well, you probably got roasted too, after you left.
Miles
But I just. Oh, yeah, no, I got roasted while I was there, which we'll get into. And so I just want you guys to know that I still got it.
Tyler
Okay.
Ryan
In what way? Like you weren't.
Miles
So they're setting a ten foot wall.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
And I noticed that at this point, there was no top row of ties, which you guys would know what that means.
Ryan
God, no.
Tyler
No.
Miles
So I threw out a little jargon. I go, oh, you guys doing top clamps today then or what? He said, yeah, it's a, it's a nine footer, not a ten footer. So, you know, we're gonna top clamp it because the top ties will miss anyways.
Jared
So, like, that's about 30ft.
Miles
Yeah. So just thrown around, concrete jargon. Still got it. Recognized it immediately. And then if you want to call me a Jedi Master, concrete guy, the guy who's a fan must have been a little flustered because he rotted the wall wrong. And so I, you know, told the one guy, my, hey, you're going to want to make sure he runs that wall right.
Tyler
I. I don't know if you should be proud of that. Why you, you become the foreman who.
Ryan
Just barks telling somebody who's not involved to pass.
Miles
Well, I figured it would have been impolite for some guy to walk in off the street wearing Crocs.
Ryan
That's true.
Miles
Tell him how to rot a wall. You know, I figured that was, you know, not good. Then the guy goes, we don't want to embarrass him. I'll tell him after you leave.
Ryan
What would have been worse is if you would have called your dad, told him, and then he had had to show up or whatever, call somebody to die.
Tyler
Can you imagine? Miles?
Miles
Dad, dad, they're not doing it right.
Tyler
You guys did it wrong, dad.
Miles
Yeah, that been bad. But I realized something talking to the old crew, that construction workers are simple creatures. They have two things they like to make fun of people for, and it's either not doing enough work or having soft hands. And that is it. And they hit both of those. I got down into the hole with my dad's old crew and he said, he immediately commented and said that I had soft hands. Now you know, I don't do enough. And then it was, well, maybe you should stop wearing a tool belt for those videos and put it on. And put it. And put it on for real and come help us.
Tyler
Well, now I know who's been commenting that on all those videos.
Miles
So it just bang, bang, right back to back. And I wanted to be like, okay, you get that out of your system. Can we have a real conversation now? But it's just anytime you're. You're in a situation, you don't know what to do and you're a construction worker, immediately comment about how no one works as hard as you or how everyone's got softer hands than you to.
Tyler
For the kind of. This situation kind of feels like you're a sophomore in college and you go back to your high school for a homecoming game and you start chirping with your buddies that were two years younger than you.
Miles
Yes.
Tyler
Very similar vibes here.
Miles
Yeah. Back in my day, it was rite of passage to get a concussion every game.
Tyler
Yeah. You know, we didn't even fucking have helmets two years ago when I was.
Miles
Concussions weren't even invented when I was there. It was just. You got a little doozy.
Ryan
Were you like, were you comparing crews at all? Like our, like our crew back.
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
So much better than this crew. Like, we would have had this up in X amount of time.
Miles
I didn't, but I should have. I should have been. I should have walked in and this is the classic. Actually, no, the first thing I did because it's 10 footer, so it was like little mini, like planks around the whole top of the thing. So I walked up on there and said, that's all you guys got done today. And they actually thought I was a different guy that used to work there because he used to say that all the time. So I was. Good vibes, good vibes.
Tyler
How many, how many are left from your crew?
Miles
My dad's crew. There's three still standing that you worked with.
Tyler
So that would have been a perfect time to roll out. Like Ryan said. Well, our crew back in the day, we'd have been two hours ahead of this.
Miles
It's a little touchy, though, because they are understaffed, and so they, like, they think about that, like, all day long. Yeah. Like, they. They already knew that.
Tyler
You know, you're right. We would be way ahead if we.
Miles
Yeah, because back in the day, we had, like, 10, 15, 13 guys. Now they're, like, down to, like, six, you know?
Ryan
Oh, yeah. And your dad. Your dad had boys who were bringing, like, your college buddies back to help, you know, so, like, there's a transition where now your guys's kids need to get old. They need to get about 16 years older.
Miles
And then my dad's still doing in 16 years. I think he's going to be pretty upset.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
So very cool.
Ryan
Then he'll really be sitting in the truck all day.
Miles
But I did acquire some new Dave stories.
Ryan
Really?
Miles
Did I tell the story about Dave setting traps buck naked on this podcast or was that on Patreon?
Tyler
I have not heard him setting traps.
Miles
He'S ever addicted to. To being naked. Now, Dave. Dave is now a full nudist.
Tyler
He lives in town, doesn't he?
Miles
No, no, no. He lives out in the country.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
He mows his lawn naked. He sets traps naked. And not only that, he's now apparently addicted to sending naked videos to a guy that works.
Tyler
Dave, you gotta chill.
Miles
Yeah, Dave's fully on it, but good to. So Dave's still thinking about us, by the way.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
A story. One of the guys that works there that he's the main contact with Dave these days.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
Dave called him, and he was really worried about where we were getting our shirts from and if the tariffs were gonna really hurt our merchandise game.
Tyler
Say, good looking out.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Gotta be uncomfortable for Dave's contact, though, to know that every time he's on the phone with Dave, Dave's butt ass naked.
Miles
Yeah, well, he knows it because he'll get a video of it.
Ryan
Yeah, well, Dave doesn't need to. He doesn't need to worry about the price of T shirts increasing because he's not gonna be wearing one anyway.
Tyler
Dude, smart.
Ryan
He's.
Tyler
No tariffs if you don't wear clothes.
Ryan
Exactly.
Miles
And the most shocking thing we got. The information I got is the guy that works there. His dad ran into Dave at the store, and he.
Ryan
Was he clothed?
Miles
All right, But. Oh, God, Dave. Dave's in the store. He's like, hey, what's going on? How is he? He's doing good. Yeah. Went to the doctor, apparently. I gotta get a colonoscopy. Like, yelling this in the store. And like, the guy's dad apparently was kind of like, we could talk about this outside. We have to yell this. The whole story kept going. He's like, yep, but now, but apparently before I do the colonoscopy, they want me to in a box and send it in. He's like, so I'm probably gonna take a video of it and send it to, send it to Bob. We'll just say Bob's the guy's name. So there may be a video in the near future of Dave in a box, naked, sent to someone. He's, he's lost his mind.
Ryan
I wonder what angle he's going to take the video at.
Miles
Yeah, I don't know.
Ryan
Front, back or side?
Miles
Side.
Jared
Tripod.
Miles
We need to teach Dave about no face, no case.
Tyler
I think the buried headline in this entire Dave story is that he's going to the doctor.
Jared
That's good.
Miles
Well, yeah, I'm sure. I don't know why.
Tyler
He just, he doesn't seem like a guy that trusts doctors.
Miles
So then I go, is Dave working somewhere these days? And he said, he said, yeah, he's still like working part time for a trapper guy, one of his trapper friends. But apparently he's just getting raked over the cold couple hundred bucks here and there. And they told me that they did the math, that Dave is now making $9 an hour.
Tyler
He can't put a price on doing something you love.
Ryan
Like, I think you can deliver papers for more than nine bucks.
Tyler
That's less than minimum wage.
Miles
Well, is the minimum wage still like 7?
Ryan
7:25?
Jared
I think that's the federal one.
Miles
So basically, Dave retired to work minimum wage, working with, you know, skin and, and getting his hands all dirty.
Tyler
Okay.
Ryan
Pros and cons. So, I mean, like, he gets, I.
Miles
Suppose it actually, like he's getting paid more than minimum wage.
Ryan
And it sounds like he can do it naked.
Miles
But the funny thing is is he's been buddies with this trapper guy for time. And Dave's like, good at that. He's good at what he does. So the fact he's getting paid $9 an hour is kind of criminal.
Tyler
So I, I, I think he's on the east side of the border. Correct. Like, he lives, he lives in Minnesota.
Miles
Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
Their minimum wage is 1150.
Ryan
Well, maybe it's like an incentive thing. You know, it's like a server. You get like four bucks an hour.
Miles
It is all cash.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
So, you know, let's say Dave gets four bucks an hour. Then five bucks per hide that he skins or whatever. Maybe, you know.
Miles
Doubtful.
Tyler
Yeah, he's working on commission.
Ryan
Well, he ain't got to buy clothes anymore, so you can pay his own first. Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. He's getting prepped to wear his own furs.
Tyler
Hey, he needs a new blanket for the winter. Yep. His. His old fur blanket. Never been washed. Starting to get a little musky. Musty.
Miles
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
Quite the story.
Miles
So, yeah, he's living his best life, making $9 an hour in boxes, videos, naked.
Jared
I've never heard of the in the box thing.
Miles
It's like a. It's like a service now that, like, you can send in a stool sample and they'll analyze it and tell you if you need.
Jared
Oh, okay.
Miles
There's anything wrong?
Tyler
I don't know that. When I got my colonoscopy, they said that that was optional and I declined.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, it's gotta get posted.
Ryan
You gotta call an Oscar.
Tyler
I've talked about it, like, five times.
Miles
Oh, yeah. All right. Sorry. So, yeah, so that's the Dave update I got for you guys.
Ryan
Does he know that we're thinking about him?
Miles
I doubt it.
Tyler
I kind of hope not. I don't want him to listen to this.
Miles
I mean, what. We're just telling the truth. It's not like I'm fabricating things. I'm just saying the news that I've heard from other people, I just. And. Or reporting on the videos that he's sent to people.
Tyler
I just. I don't want him to find out that he's semi famous and get cold feet on coming on the pod eventually one day.
Miles
Yeah, I don't.
Jared
He's out in shoes.
Tyler
True. That doesn't help the cold feet situation.
Miles
We should get him on the pod. Yeah. I was a little nervous that he did find out and that he would be like, you know, these guys. But he's worried about our. Where we're getting our shirts from and how much that's going to run us.
Ryan
So he's. Yeah, he's worried about it.
Miles
He cares. Yeah, he cares. So, yeah, all in all, great trip back to the. Back to the crew.
Tyler
Very construction worker of them to get free donuts and then just talk. The delivery guy.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, guys, time to play some prize picks this week. And right now, Prize picks will give you $50 in lineups. When you play your first $5 lineup, win or lose, you'll get 50 bucks in lineups. You use promo code YBR when you sign up today. And you get that deal. Boys could be hotter right now.
Tyler
Big win for the boys.
Miles
Big Tyler slipped a slip into our slip and I don't even remember what it was on. I just. I just press copy and paste and did it.
Tyler
NBA Game 7, NBA Finals Game 7. We did a six legger. We had Benedict Matheran, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lou Dort.
Miles
Yeah, we have five out of six. The only reason why we didn't go six out of six is because Halliburton got hurt.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
So we rebooted. So we went five for five. I won 400 bucks. Tyler won 330, Jared won 220. 220. And Ryan won 110, which is hilarious because he likes to bet more than we do. And so, yeah, that's what you get when you go power play. Boys.
Tyler
It feels good to be the resident not basketball guy, get one down and hit a basketball lineup.
Miles
So we're feeling good after this last week.
Tyler
We're riding high. I'll start sharing my basketball lineups with the patrons.
Miles
Yeah, there you go. That being said. Yeah, you're like, wow, basketball's done after game seven.
Ryan
Wrong.
Miles
Best basketballs just getting rolling. Basketball just started to bounce because this week we're going wnba, boys.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. So we got four picks. Wnba. I went with a lock. My girl. Sabrina. Aya Nas. Anaski Ayahuasca. Ionescu. Sabrina. Sabrina ionescu. More than 21 and a half points. It's a Red Devil. Toggle up. Lock it in. Ryan's going with Jewel. Jewel Lloyd. More than 11. More than 11 and a half points. He told me that that was a lock he had to run in the post office. Tyler.
Tyler
I got Aja Wilson. More than three and a half assists.
Miles
Red Devil.
Tyler
Red Devil. She's due. She's had a few games with only two assists, so she's due.
Jared
And Jared, I got Natasha Cloud more than seven and a half points.
Tyler
So hopefully she doesn't have her head in the clouds this game.
Miles
Yeah, it's. It's a lock. You just go ahead and book it now. So, yeah, you guys want to roll WNBA with us this summer? Here we go.
Tyler
Here we go.
Miles
Now we go.
Tyler
I might mess around and put some money on League of Legends next week.
Jared
There you go.
Miles
I want to get in the golf game too. Next week. Oh, actually next week. Hot dog eating contest.
Tyler
Hell yeah.
Miles
So guys, go sign up Code YBR and prize picks. It's a great time, especially do with your buddies. Riding with your. With your buddies and everyone hidden is just the best.
Tyler
It is a Great feeling.
Miles
So go check it out.
Ryan
Just out of curiosity, what would they have done if you'd have shown up with like, muffins or something?
Miles
I don't think they would have cared.
Ryan
Okay, free food.
Tyler
Free food.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
I mean, they would have been like muffins. It's weird, but yeah.
Tyler
He showed up with a box of lemon scones.
Ryan
Look at this, though.
Tyler
That's going good.
Miles
They also love to remind you about all the dumb you did in college.
Tyler
You know, showing up hungover, still drunk.
Miles
Like, my buddy saw you at this bar, faced on, you know, doing shots. I'm like, yeah, I did that in college.
Jared
That was me.
Miles
So did you.
Ryan
You got me.
Miles
I should tell some of the stories you told me about your childhood. There are some wild stories about those guys. One I. I don't even think I can say on Patreon.
Tyler
Really?
Miles
Yeah. I'll have to tell you guys, I think I told Jared we're on a road trip back from something. I was telling you about it, about his bachelor party. Do you remember that? Oh, my God.
Tyler
Dude.
Miles
Just a different breed. Different. Different time back then.
Jared
Is there anything you missed about the construction site when you're there?
Miles
Yeah, I mean, it's mostly the camaraderie, you know?
Tyler
Yeah, we don't have that.
Miles
No, not like that.
Ryan
Yeah, well, I mean, we're not talking.
Miles
That much or there's just less talking going on here.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I think also just the. You guys know this about me. I love hammering a bit into the ground. Yeah, until it's not funny anymore. And then you keep doing it until it's funny again. And that's exactly what that place shaped my humor, you know, it's like it's.
Tyler
It's infiltrated our lives.
Miles
Yeah, that's true. That is actually very true. So shout out to the boys and good. Good to check in with them and get some Dave updates and all that. So if anyone's looking for a job in the Fargo Moorhead area doing some concrete, let me know. My dad's in the hurt bag for it. It's got great crew. They're gonna talk, but you can do will be fine.
Tyler
Nine bucks an hour.
Miles
No, no, no, no. That's working with Dan.
Tyler
I know it's a joke.
Miles
I'm trying to sell this, Tyler. I bet you could start at least 20.
Ryan
Not many requirements either. Pulse.
Miles
Pulse.
Ryan
That's it. Okay, Just one.
Miles
Just stop.
Jared
You get donuts once a quarter.
Tyler
Yeah, you get donuts. Yeah, once every project in Miles's neighborhood.
Ryan
Lots of filling up.
Miles
Not many Lots left, so lots of filling up. Go work there now.
Tyler
Get yourself a apple fr.
Miles
Yeah, those are good. I didn't get any apple fritters that were out.
Jared
Those are the best. Those are the best Cronut.
Tyler
Cronuts do.
Miles
What is a cronut again?
Jared
Croissant Donut.
Tyler
Very good.
Ryan
Yeah, those are good, too.
Miles
I feel like we've talked about this before.
Ryan
Yeah, we definitely have.
Miles
Our life is a loop. Our life is a loop.
Jared
It's like a donut.
Miles
It goes around.
Tyler
Yeah, it's like a cronut.
Miles
The.
Tyler
There's layers.
Miles
Other thing we got coming up is the boys are playing in a Wiffle ball World Series in July.
Tyler
Not a the football world series, one.
Miles
Of the Wiffle Ball World Series. Every guy with a backyard who starts a wiffle ball league calls it the Wiffle Ball World Series.
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, it also just rolls.
Tyler
Off the tongue, but I also. I think this is. This is the premiere one, though.
Miles
It's. It's legit. They got like a whole setup and a scoreboard and they do, like a national anthem. One year, they had a helicopter fly over during the national anthem. Helicopter rides.
Tyler
Oh. I was gonna say, what if that just happened on accident? Helicopter just happened to fly by, like, we did it.
Miles
Yeah, that would rule. Yeah. They, like, had someone come and sing the national anthem.
Ryan
Oh, yeah. Well, next door neighbor probably.
Miles
Yeah. I don't know who it was, but. No, just guys that. I know that this is their last year doing it, and so they asked if I wanted to play. And so this is the. The curtain call for this. This Wiffle Ball World Series. So we're gonna play. I put a text out. Tyler was the only one that responded. Jared didn't respond. I mean, you were down bad.
Jared
I don't know yet.
Miles
That's.
Jared
I want to do it, but.
Miles
Yeah. Okay.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
So I'm gonna be gone that weekend because when you sent me the original text message, I. I said. I said, July 26th. I. I'm busy. July 26th.
Miles
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Ryan
I. I pulled the text. I could. I. I will show you. And I. I just realized that 20 minutes ago. I was like, I hope we don't talk about this, because I don't want to hear.
Miles
I mean, it's fine. We have plenty of time. No, I know, but a replacement.
Ryan
But you want to play in with the World Series? Would love to for sure. If I'm free. What weekend? End of July. I said, I. I have a cons. I got a concert in Fargo July 26th. And then I read the Slack message and that's the day that it is.
Miles
Let's make sure that's the date. So I feel like we had the conversation and you said it would unless I just totally. That's why. So.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Figure out.
Miles
Yeah. What concert do you have? If this is the Blenders, I swear to God.
Ryan
The Blenders are.
Miles
I swear to God. If it's Hairball or Tripwire or some other local band.
Ryan
It's not a cover band. Blenders is seasonal. I've never been to Hairball or Tripwire. It's Sam Barber.
Miles
Who's that? Who the Is that?
Ryan
Also, who's that taking a day off? Hey, what are you doing your day off? Why? I don't need it. Why do I tell you? Why don't you go to a concert, Haircut? You guys have never heard of Sam Barber?
Miles
Dude, I mean, he sounds like a guy that sings folk.
Ryan
12 million monthly listeners. Spotify.
Miles
Let me see.
Tyler
Not us. I really don't know who this is.
Jared
I'm sure he's popular. I just don't know.
Miles
He is popular. It's just. I guess if Tyler were to do this run around, I'd be like, well, we can replace Tyler, no problem.
Ryan
And I know you can't replace me.
Miles
That's why I'm. But right now I can't. I am not good at making contact with a bat.
Ryan
I was a pitcher. You gotta remember that.
Miles
But you played college baseball, so you. You can swing a bat better than anyone else in this office.
Ryan
Yes, I can.
Miles
So that's the only reason why I'm now shocked.
Jared
Right? We could do both, can't we?
Miles
I could have swore you were in.
Ryan
I said, I. I would love to play if I'm free. And then I. I said, I just got a concert that July. I have a concert July 26.
Miles
What time is the concert? I think we can make them happen.
Jared
Yep. Yep. Right as well.
Tyler
I'll look it up. What time is the tournament start in the morning?
Jared
Oh, we're good.
Ryan
Yeah. I don't know if I can swing it. I. I'm not gonna. I don't want to leave any doors open because then if I have to close one later on, then I'm the bad guy because I didn't give you notice.
Tyler
You know, Sam Barber starts at 6:30.
Jared
Oh, she's not starting till 8.
Ryan
I'm not leaving any doors open.
Tyler
It could be the openers at 6:30.
Miles
Well, I guess I'll just have to call him and tell him that we can't go and disappoint him.
Ryan
And again, I understand. I was gonna.
Miles
Should have just told me from the get that he didn't want to do it.
Ryan
I said I would love to if I'm free.
Jared
I think we can do both.
Miles
I. It sounds like we can't.
Ryan
You're not even committed yet.
Jared
I think I'm committed. I'm gonna check first and then commit to it.
Ryan
Yeah. And I said I. I love to.
Miles
Stop remembering a conversation in person. We.
Ryan
We. This is the first time we've ever talked about in person.
Tyler
I.
Ryan
You not man.
Miles
I am. Am I. Am I getting old?
Ryan
I just want to see if there's a.
Tyler
Let's see.
Jared
You probably got a dream about it. Miles.
Miles
I don't know what's going on.
Tyler
I know.
Ryan
Is this okay? So that, that conversation was June 7th, and when I said concert July 26th, I didn't get another text from you until June 11th when you sent me the, the H vac guys phone number.
Jared
What's his phone number?
Miles
So, well, in the H vac, the reason why I sent you the H vac phone number wasn't even for the H vac is now for. That's for the septic for the pump system in our loading dock.
Ryan
Dude, can we air that one out quick? Because I, I saw also I got.
Miles
The bill for that.
Ryan
I know I haven't even seen the bill, and I know the amount of sitting in the truck smoking cigarettes these guys were doing was unbelievable.
Jared
They were here for a while.
Ryan
They're here for two days.
Miles
Also. I, when I pulled up, he was, like, laying on the ground looking in the pit, and, but he wasn't moving, so it looks like he just was dead laying on the ground.
Jared
That's what you need right now.
Miles
I mean, for what I'm paying them. They could pay for a funeral for that guy if he did die.
Jared
He almost dropped dead seating the bill.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
But again, what this issue boiled down to goes all the way back to the engineers. Again, that's where the blame is being played.
Jared
Smoking gun, canary in the coal mine.
Ryan
God. When they showed off on day two, I was like, this bill is not.
Jared
Going to be pretty.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
I'm like, why couldn't they finish on day one?
Miles
You got a new building, and all you do is do repairs on it.
Tyler
Mm.
Miles
So, yeah, I mean, that's a little bit of a kick to the nuts. That information you just gave me information.
Ryan
Was three weeks ago.
Miles
I mean, I got a lot of text messages. No, I, I, I believe this is on Me.
Tyler
There's. Okay, so there's at least one opening act.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
He's not. He's. I can tell by the energy coming off of him he would rather be dead in our pit for the pump like the H Vac guy was, than come to the Wiffle Ball. It's not even a question.
Ryan
I've tried to make like. Like scenarios like this where I got multiple things in multiple locations and I've committed to one and I want to commit to another, but I don't know if I. I've tried to sort like that out, and it just gives me a brain aneurysm.
Tyler
We can. An alternate so you can play the first couple games with us.
Jared
You get gone by, like, noonish or two.
Ryan
Stop. If you're gone, you're not even committed yet.
Jared
I don't know yet.
Tyler
You're. You leave at your home. By one, you're showered and ready to rock. By two, you got five and a half hours to kill.
Miles
He's dead to us. He doesn't exist. And now we know how all of his teammates, you know, in college, fell. They just leave him out to dry.
Tyler
I was just really excited to see Ryan come out of the bullpen to fireman.
Miles
That's true. It's true.
Tyler
That's really the only reason I signed up, so I'm probably out, too.
Miles
It's fine. I'll just do it myself. I do everything else at this company.
Ryan
God, I knew I should.
Tyler
I just wanted to see Ryan whip Wiffle Balls really fast.
Miles
It just would have been. It would have been the Dream Team. But, you know, we just stuck Jared out in right field, Tyler on first base, me got the rest of the field and Ryan was the pitcher. It was going to be. It was gonna be the Dream Team. That would parallel the 97 or the 98 dream team.
Ryan
How many guys?
Miles
94. Which?
Ryan
96.
Miles
92. 92. Dream team. What? A parallel.
Tyler
The 90s dream team.
Ryan
How many guys they have on a field for this thing?
Miles
Four.
Tyler
Yeah, how does. So you got an outfielder, an infielder, a pitcher and a catcher.
Miles
There's no catcher.
Tyler
What are you doing for plays at home? Picture. Go. Covers home or what?
Miles
Yeah, the picture.
Jared
It's like a net.
Ryan
I know all the rotations. I can write it down for you guys.
Miles
No, no, you're out. You're done. You're done.
Tyler
So now we gotta recruit.
Miles
So I hope. I hope you have fun at Sam Burns's concert. What's his name?
Jared
Sam Hunt.
Miles
Sam Hunt. You going to a Sam Hunt concert?
Ryan
You know his name because you.
Miles
No, I actually don't think it.
Ryan
About what? You should switch Barber.
Miles
No, I actually didn't remember it was Barber.
Ryan
Again, the text.
Miles
No, it'll be.
Ryan
It'll be love to play if I'm free.
Tyler
You know what we should do? We should just, like, put up a jersey in our dugout and act like Ryan's dead. Like it's a memorial jersey.
Miles
He is dead to me.
Jared
Perfect.
Tyler
We'll just hang his jersey up. It'll say T shirt guy, number 69. And we'll just. We'll. We'll hang it up.
Jared
That'd be tight.
Tyler
We'll bring it out with us to do the coin toss.
Miles
No, I actually just got word, actually, that people are gonna be burning his jersey at the event. I just weirdly got a text that said that it's fine. I'll just have to put together a renegade crew now.
Ryan
Only the Legends get their jersey burned.
Miles
I gotta find another. I'll find a better baseball player.
Jared
Kind of like the movie Replacements.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
Keanu Reeves.
Miles
I'll call up.
Tyler
There had to been some really good baseball players from Mayville. They're like the best.
Miles
I'll call some Redhawks players.
Jared
Yeah, on a Saturday.
Miles
Maybe I'll call up some Savannah Bananas, get them over there.
Jared
It's a milk bed.
Miles
Yeah, I'll find off. I'll call up one of your college buddies so that. I guess that segment's shot. Anyways.
Tyler
It'll be a good time.
Jared
It'll be fun.
Ryan
You're not even committed yet.
Jared
I'll say it'll be fun, regardless.
Miles
Yeah, it's gonna suck.
Ryan
It will be fun.
Miles
I'm getting Jake on our team.
Tyler
Yeah, and we have to listen to some fake baseball knowledge the whole time.
Miles
The whole time.
Jared
Wiffle ball is invented 10 years ago.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Did you know that Barry Bonds was part of the Wiffle ball invention?
Jared
Well, he inspired it.
Tyler
Yeah, well, maybe not Barry Bonds. So it's actually not called baseball because of the bases. It's because it was invented on a military base also.
Miles
Yeah, very me of me to plan that far and ahead for something at least a couple months. Get the information from Ryan and just not just disregard it and not internalize it. So. Well, I guess that's that again.
Ryan
I would have loved to play if I was free.
Tyler
Yeah, you're free in the morning.
Ryan
I'm not leaving any doors open because I've again, I've done like this and it. Brain aneurysm.
Jared
But you, you've learned so much through that.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
I feel like you're good.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
And I've learned I can't do it.
Miles
So I. I don't understand what you can't do. Is it the. Is it the man? It's doing it.
Ryan
It's. No, no, it's legit logistically, because we're talking like probably 45 minute drive from here. I mean, what if we make it the championship? There's the championships later in the day.
Tyler
How many? This is literally the last year of the Wiffle Ball World Series. Sam Barber is going to come back.
Jared
That's a great point, though.
Miles
I just wish I knew a Sam Barber song.
Jared
You probably do.
Miles
I probably do, but I don't know his name.
Ryan
You don't know him.
Tyler
I looked at this venue is just like in a random open field.
Ryan
No, it's. It's a. No. Steve Aoki played there a couple years ago.
Tyler
It's called the Fargo.
Miles
Where is it?
Tyler
At Fargo Festival Field, which I've never heard of.
Ryan
Behind the brewery. Old brewery.
Miles
Okay.
Ryan
Sounds like a good spot where I could get my own Wiffle ball game going.
Jared
I'd be a kick to the house.
Miles
I wouldn't be surprised.
Tyler
I mean, he's got some songs with a shitload of listens, so it's probably.
Miles
That Gen Z music that Ryan's so plugged into. Anyways. Well, we should take a break. You got a segment, A new segment. Jared, what is it?
Jared
What Miles hates and we have to find out if you still hate it or not.
Miles
Okay, it's what kind of test do they call that?
Ryan
Litmus?
Jared
No, it's a test personality.
Miles
It's have I flip flopped or have.
Tyler
I not situation flopped or not.
Miles
All right, take a break. All right, Jared, you got. You got it going now with the 16 things that I used to used slash, still hate. How far does this go back?
Jared
I think it was. I think I got one from episode like 76. Okay, I didn't mark which episode these are, but.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, but 76, and we're on episode one 332.
Ryan
How did you find these? Did you just search hate?
Jared
So I would go on YouTube, go to the transcript, and then type in hate, and then I would look through it. Miles. If Miles hated anything in that episode, then sure. So this has been compiled over like the last two, three months.
Ryan
Jesus.
Jared
Two tree.
Miles
All right, well, let's start it out.
Jared
All right, Miles, you hate the Sopranos intro?
Miles
Yeah, I'm on board with that. I'm. I'm still kind of hate that.
Tyler
It's entirely Too long.
Miles
Well, but it's just. There's no, there's no oomph to it. I don't know. There's just no, there's nothing that gets me hard.
Tyler
I, I agree. I, I don't hate it, but it's just like, I, I'm skipping it every time.
Miles
That's like a, A conversation for another podcast is the best and worst intros to shows. Are you guys in or out on Ted Lasso's intro, then?
Jared
Yeah, that's good.
Tyler
Yeah, though. That's it in the stands.
Ryan
Yeah. I don't even know if I remember the intro. I'm a big white lotus intro guy.
Jared
Yep.
Tyler
They're. They're good.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, Game of Thrones topic.
Tyler
Game of Thrones set the standard, and now and then, like, 50 other shows copied it.
Jared
I think Westworld had a good one.
Tyler
Yep.
Ryan
I also really liked Righteous Gemstones intro.
Miles
Sure.
Jared
Good.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, that one. I, I, that was great.
Tyler
Breaking Bad, I think, was like, the first short intro.
Ryan
I'm trying to think.
Miles
I, I think I remember Prison Break having a good one. I don't remember Prison Break. Last week on pr.
Tyler
I mean, SVU is one of the most iconic TV intros ever.
Miles
Oh, no, that's csi.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
Miami.
Tyler
Yes.
Miles
For you. Remind me of that one.
Tyler
They just, like, do the monologue about, like, oh, yeah, Special crimes.
Jared
Oh, yeah. Law and Order.
Ryan
Cops has a good intro.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, Cops is great.
Ryan
Cops. I mean, that's iconic.
Miles
What you gotta do.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I, I think I'm still out on the Sopranos theme song.
Tyler
Okay.
Jared
Miles, you hate the breathiness of Garth Brooks's voice.
Miles
I still agree. It's like, I like. It's the same. Like, I like John Mayer as well, but sometimes his lyrics just get a little breathy for me that I. You can't listen to too many John Mayer songs in a row.
Tyler
I've never.
Ryan
Give me an example. Like, what, what you mean by breathy and your body.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
You. I think you just hate breathy voices, period. Because now that we're talking about this, I've heard you complain about a singer, like, I'll recommend someone, but don't like them too breathy.
Miles
It's just.
Ryan
I've never heard of that before.
Miles
Too whimsical and breathy. Just. I like power, you know, like a rock. Yeah. And then you also go like, Aerosmith. I hate that you could smell his.
Ryan
Breaths through your Spotify app, is what you're saying.
Miles
That's how they end every lyric. Aerosmith and I don't want to say.
Jared
Might just be that song, though.
Tyler
It definitely is.
Miles
Yeah, it is. But that's irritates me to no end. And once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Yeah, just a little too breathy at times. Dom Mayer is definitely more breathy than Garth.
Tyler
I don't feel like Garth is that breathy.
Miles
Yeah, I'd have to. I'd have to go listen to some gar songs to know which ones I for sure was talking about.
Jared
Mm.
Ryan
Fucking girth.
Jared
Brooks Miles. You hate the line of work of public safety officers at colleges.
Miles
What do they do?
Jared
What are they, eagles? No authority whatsoever. They're fun haters.
Miles
They like. They have. They can't do anything right.
Tyler
They can ride bike on the rankings. Who's. Who has more. More authority, A mall cop or a public safety officer?
Miles
I don't know enough about mall cops, but I think a mall cop is a cop still though, right?
Tyler
I don't know.
Ryan
No, I don't think so. I listen to a podcast.
Miles
They're just security.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I think mall cops can do more. Especially at, like, the liberal public colleges. You can't do anything to stop anyone from doing anything. I feel like.
Ryan
Yeah, you won't be able to, like, restrain anybody. I think you just have to call law enforcement and hopefully you can keep eyes on them.
Jared
Keep that phone charged.
Tyler
Yeah, like pepper spray on them or something. Or if something's actually violent.
Miles
Yeah, I just love.
Jared
Stop that.
Miles
I just. Yeah, I just.
Ryan
Hey, please quit.
Jared
Freeze.
Tyler
I would.
Miles
I said freeze.
Tyler
I would feel much more comfortable if you froze.
Ryan
I. Yeah, Simon says freeze.
Miles
And they always just walk around in their dumb fucking polos and black cargo pants just looking like a dweeb. I mean, is it a stepping stone? To what?
Tyler
I don't know. It could be a good resume builder.
Miles
Yeah, but are they even college kids? Are they out of college kids?
Tyler
I think they're out of college. Yeah. They're a completely separate entity.
Ryan
They're not like upperclassmen or anything.
Tyler
It's for sure not like a work study.
Miles
That is wild to me.
Tyler
And that's like. There's people like that are going to school for criminal justice can do that as their works, but I doubt it.
Jared
That'd be a good work study.
Miles
We just used to call them Pub Safe. Pub Safe is just kid squealing up on his. Do they give out track bike?
Ryan
They go out parking tickets too?
Tyler
Yeah, they give out parking tickets. And they're the ones like they give you. So the. The. I went to Concordia for your they were the ones that would give out intervis. So like if there were boys in the girls dorms, you'd get slapped with a hundred dollar fine. They're the ones handing those out.
Ryan
Really? Well, they at least saw you finish before they came in.
Tyler
I didn't have any problems.
Ryan
Yeah, we know it.
Tyler
Tyler.
Jared
Yes.
Miles
Three kids.
Tyler
Yeah, I'm saying because it's quick.
Ryan
Yeah, I know, I know. Huh. Pub safes. Intervals.
Jared
Did you have a bad experience with hub safe or is this general hate?
Ryan
I.
Miles
It's, it's not even necessarily. Yes, I hate it. But it's more just like. What the. Like stop taking this so seriously. You have no power.
Jared
Stuff it.
Ryan
Yeah, you could, you could, you could talk back to a pub safe officer too. And like. And with no repercussions.
Miles
Correct. What are they going to do?
Jared
Call your dad?
Miles
They're going to call your professor, tell you to give you a worse grade.
Ryan
Psych. Already got a D in this class.
Miles
I already flunked that class. So try give me a lower F.
Ryan
What are you gonna give me an F? Minus, Right.
Jared
Of you. Miles. You hate first looks at weddings.
Miles
Just, just take me out back and end it.
Ryan
Yeah, but you're usually have you see. Well, I suppose you used to video weddings so you've seen quite a bit first. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense.
Tyler
Did you do one?
Miles
Tough, tough. Because it's like you, if you're, you have to give some reaction because they're like filming it and expecting this grand thing so then it ends up feeling inauthentic. I don't know. It's just.
Ryan
I, I'm with you.
Miles
It's just on the, the first. I, I, I'm trying to find the right words.
Tyler
I remember us having this conversation on the pod way back in the day. My stance is still the same. I don't mind the first look when it's actually the bride there. I hate it when they turn around. It's the groomsmen or something. In a wedding dress.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Jokey ones.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. It's just like what are we doing?
Ryan
Yeah. It's been overplayed.
Miles
Well, I had to film some first looks with dads, which I don't know if you guys know anything about dads. They don't give a.
Ryan
I think.
Miles
Yeah. And like I get. It's like, oh, you want to be like, wow, you look so pretty and this is amazing. Whatever. But why, why does it have to be filmed? I, I don't know. I know. It's actually hard for me to put into words Why? I think it's dumb.
Tyler
See, I like the sentimental stuff. I. I don't like the jokey ones. I like the ones with dads. I like the ones. I like the one that I had to do.
Miles
I. I think the thing that irks me most. Get his genuine reaction when she shows up to walk down the aisle for the first time. Because then it's not. Yes, it's like, oh, my God, she looks so beautiful. But it's also like, I'm about to get married. Emotion as well. And it ends up being real emotions. But when you're just three hours before the wedding in a room by yourselves and then there's photo, like three photographers doing it, it's just like, what. What are we doing?
Tyler
It's too inconvenient to actually keep the bride and groom separate that long.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Now, the wedding that I officiated last year, the first look was when she walked down the aisle.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
I think it's much better.
Miles
Much better. But also like, what's. Why is it. It's just.
Tyler
I don't know.
Miles
Just didn't seem that special to me. Seemed that. That big of a deal.
Tyler
I think Miles just hates emotions.
Jared
You didn't say that.
Miles
I don't have that written, so that was pretty. I think I'm quite an emotional guy.
Tyler
Pre episode 70 said that.
Jared
Yeah, 75. Had to do the math. Miles, you hate Wednesdays because of the hump day ad.
Miles
Now we've. We've distanced ourselves from the hump day ad big time. Quite a bit. It's been a long time. I feel like since I've heard someone go hump day, we can, we can bring it. We spent a long time and so I think I could maybe put Wednesdays to rest. I don't hate them as much.
Tyler
We can bring it back for you.
Miles
We don't have to. We don't have to. But yeah, that was, that was a terrible time to be a human. When the hump day ad was going around.
Ryan
I think the only time I've used hump day recently was like, if you're trying to make small talk with somebody you don't really know and it happens to be Wednesday. Ah, humped. How's the hump day going?
Miles
Yeah, that's way better though, than when everyone's like, yeah, yeah.
Ryan
It's just.
Tyler
It was.
Ryan
Wasn't necessary.
Tyler
Is this, Is it a Mandela effect or did that commercial invent the term hump day?
Miles
No, they did not invent it. Played into the already existing. Because it was a camel Okay, I believe.
Jared
Yep.
Miles
So, yeah, I think. I think I can rescind that hate. It's been enough time. People aren't doing it anymore.
Tyler
Happy hump day.
Jared
Miles, you hate seeing Nissan cubes with the curved rear glass.
Miles
Seemed like an extra expense that they didn't need to do to curve the glass. Was someone buying that car? Because I actually think it looks worse than if you just had a metal bar there on the corner rather than the curved glass. It makes me want to buy a cube less that they went through the extra work to curve the glass. So, yeah, I'm still on board with that one.
Jared
Miles, you. You hate corn mazes, but you would prefer if it's haunted.
Miles
Yeah, I mean, I. I'm not seeking out a corn maze.
Ryan
Haunted or not, he ain't seeking it out.
Miles
Yeah, haunted makes it better. I would still agree with me today with chicks, though. Yeah.
Ryan
In. In middle. Like, middle you gotta be.
Miles
Yeah, you gotta be high school with your high school girlfriend and, you know, bunch of chicks.
Tyler
Like, not a single other dude. Just chicks.
Miles
You can't be caught in a corn maze with dudes.
Ryan
With the way. Yeah. Without chicks.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I just don't see the thrill because like, corn mazes, they're so. So long.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
Miles
But you know what I mean?
Tyler
Like, I don't know where I'm supposed.
Miles
To go to solve a maze on a piece of paper is fun because it all just happens right here.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You could get an ocular pad down to the full maze.
Ryan
Well, then you got. Yeah. People jumping.
Miles
Like, at least saws and at least like, fun houses. It's like, there's like mirrors and, you know, other like that. But if you're just walking through a field, then you're like. You're just like, oh, the do I get out of here? How the do I get out of here? Like, what's the fun in that?
Tyler
Help and get some guy named Daryl with a chainsaw with no chain on it.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
I think that was the thing I was bitching about. It's like, if you're gonna do a haunted corn maze, let's put some real steaks on. Yeah.
Ryan
At least make me outrun you.
Miles
At least like, clip my calf with a real chainsaw.
Tyler
What's that guy like, the.
Ryan
You.
Tyler
You fucking Nathan Fielder. Nathan, for you did the haunted house experiment. Did you see that one? So he does this fake haunted house where he's like, it's the scariest experience you'll ever have or your money back guaranteed. And he. This couple comes In. And then, like, halfway through the maze, they take the couple out. It's like, hey, you were actually exposed to an extremely contagious virus. And they, like, separate the husband and wife. The wife has to go into quarantine. The husband starts freaking the fuck out. He's like, no, you can't fucking take her. You cannot take her. And they, like, wrap her in a Hazmat suit, put her in an ambulance. And he's like, spazzing and spazzing. And then finally the ambulance pulls away. He's like, all right, thank you for coming to Nathan's Haunted House. Please leave us five stars on Google. And this guy's having a full ass meltdown.
Miles
Did he think it was funny or no?
Tyler
No.
Miles
That is wild. Okay. See, I'm so on board.
Jared
You hate taking the stairs at hotels.
Tyler
Just.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, I'll live in a cardboard box if I. If I ever live in an apartment again, I'll live in a cardboard box before I live in an apartment without an elevator.
Ryan
Even if you're just on the second floor.
Miles
The only place I am glad to take the stairs is the hotel where we go pheasant hunting. Sure. There's just not a. Yeah, I wouldn't trust the elevator in that place even if it had an elevator.
Ryan
Yeah, okay. Yeah, but, yeah, that's the worst.
Jared
I mean, you hate paper tickets at movie theaters and you hate the glass where the ticket operator sits behind.
Tyler
Movie theaters don't do that anymore.
Miles
Well, this is old, Tyler. Yeah, this is old days, but also pretty dumb. What, were people gonna, like, like, jump, like, theater operator? You could jump a theater operator to go see Wicked for free. You know, you gotta go watch the Barbie movie for free by holding them at gunpoint.
Jared
A lot of time.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
It's so dumb. They got the speaker, too.
Ryan
Do they still have that?
Tyler
No. No.
Ryan
Okay. All right.
Miles
Well, now everything's pretty much on your phone.
Tyler
Yeah, they give kiosks or you just go to, like, a normal reception desk.
Jared
Miles, you hate Jimmy Johnson in the NASCAR Heat 5 game because he's always bumping into you.
Miles
I have no evidence to say I don't hate that, so. I'll say I still hate it. It's been a long time since I played NASCAR Heat 5, but.
Tyler
Yeah, I don't think we ever need to bring it back either.
Ryan
No, no, we got that wheel on. We're trying to sell that wheel, actually.
Tyler
Anyone?
Ryan
We're gonna put it to rest. We're gonna put it to rest for good. Once that wheel's Gone.
Tyler
We use the wheel, like five times.
Ryan
Yeah, you hated the wheel. So touchy.
Jared
Miles, you hate face paint in general. It's kind of an ick for you.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Even on, like, kids in general.
Miles
Well, I'm not worrying about getting the ick from children, so I would say no. I think face paint for kids is fine.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
But yeah, if you're an adult and you got face paint on, like, just even like for Halloween, just painting your face a different thing. I don't know. Just. I don't like it. What about. I don't think I could sit through a blue man group show. They're 2 cuz of it.
Tyler
Wait, that's face paint.
Ryan
What about the guys at sporting events who paint their body?
Jared
That rules.
Miles
No, well, body, yeah, body's better. Sure, body's better. I just am just. I just never want to paint my face.
Ryan
What? What if you're going out hunting and like. Yeah, like everyone at your deer camp is, like, putting face paint on?
Tyler
I. I just did that. We war painted up for the first day of bear hunting.
Miles
War paint is not face pain. It's war pain. If you're going to war. That's badass. That's cool. I'm on board for hunting.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. Or guerrilla warfare.
Tyler
Guerrilla warfare hunting or children at the circus.
Miles
Those are the three time you should be putting face paint on as an adult.
Jared
What about I black in football?
Miles
I'm an eye black guy. Okay. I black those on face paint.
Ryan
Real. I black. Or the strips.
Miles
Real strips suck. Strips can suck my dick.
Tyler
They last about half a quarter.
Miles
Just tell me you can't commit to something more than using the strips.
Tyler
There's a.
Miles
Tell me that you aren't a team guy more than using eye black strips. It's like, oh, I just can't commit to my band of brothers. So I'm just gonna put this sticker on my face.
Jared
That's a Wilson auto. Yeah.
Ryan
This is John 3, 6.
Miles
Let's say Philippians 4:13.
Ryan
I was never a strip guy either. I would make that clear.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
I'm a. I'm a meat and potatoes. Just two lines across the face. All the crisscrosses. The one eye with the SME here. The ones where they go across the eye like, what are we doing, dude?
Tyler
Too much. There's a. So my kid started T ball this summer. There's a kid on his T ball team. These are five year olds. Who does the full triangle eye black with the crosses etched out in them.
Miles
But he's a kid. He can do face paint.
Tyler
He's got the big elbow pad and like, I can't talk because he's clearly the best one on the team. He's actually really good.
Ryan
Okay. For a five year old, that's allowed.
Tyler
But it's like, it's a lot.
Miles
What's he got an elbow brace on for?
Tyler
Because it looks sick. It's like one of the guard ones.
Miles
That he's quite literally not even getting a ball thrown out.
Ryan
No, what I mean is T ball. I mean that.
Tyler
Yeah, there's no pitching.
Ryan
He could have Lopper's elbow, though.
Miles
Good. Don't hate on Loppers.
Tyler
I don't.
Ryan
This is.
Tyler
I would. If it was an elbow brace, I'd be down. But it's just a guard.
Ryan
Maybe he hit his funny bone earlier in the day or something too. And still.
Miles
Well, it's because he goes to the batting cages and he wears it in there and then he's like, well, it's just part of my routine.
Tyler
It's paying off for the kid. He's good. It would be really unfortunate for him if he sucked and still dressed up.
Jared
Miles, you hate the voice trivia people use.
Miles
I, I think I've. Yeah, I said that multiple.
Tyler
That was a. That's a recent one.
Miles
Miles. What? Formerly on the podcast, you betcha radio. Did Miles say that he hated. Yeah.
Jared
Miles, you hate Halloween. Miles.
Ryan
Moving on, next.
Miles
The face paint, hence the corn mazes.
Tyler
You know, it's just neighbors with better candy.
Jared
Yeah, Miles, you hate that. You know how many different varieties of pop Tarts there are?
Ryan
How many are there?
Miles
Did I like a specific number or I just was listing.
Jared
You listed off like five of them.
Miles
S' mores. Strawberry, hot fudge sundae, brown sugar, blueberry.
Ryan
Well, dude, there's 24 different varieties.
Miles
Did I say s' mores?
Tyler
Yep. Cookies and cream.
Miles
I don't think I said s' mores just now.
Tyler
That was the first one.
Jared
Yeah, you did.
Ryan
Yeah, you did.
Miles
S' mores bangers.
Tyler
There's the wild Berry purple with the blue stripe.
Ryan
Yep.
Tyler
We got cookies and cream.
Jared
Spider man, two Pop Tarts.
Tyler
Cookie dough. Those don't have frosting.
Miles
Yeah. So I, I, I mean, should I know five?
Jared
I don't know if you hate it anymore.
Miles
Yeah, I don't, I don't think I hate that.
Ryan
Dude, they have a snickerdoodle Pop Tart.
Miles
Oh, he's back.
Tyler
We get, get this man a snickerdoodle Pop tart Blizzard asap.
Ryan
There's a snicker duty. Pop Tart Tart that looks actually kind of fire.
Miles
Yeah, I don't hate that one as much anymore.
Ryan
And there's a sugar cookie pop tart, so.
Jared
Last one. You hate buying presents, Jeff Bezos. Couldn't have been better for you during Christmas time.
Miles
Because I ordered Amazon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jared
It comes wrapped and everything.
Ryan
Thing.
Miles
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that I do the present. I just. I'm not a presence guy. I'm bad at it.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
I'm bad at thinking of getting a present.
Ryan
You know, like, it's just not top of mind.
Miles
No. And I. It's also. But I. I'm not. I'm not a hypocrite in the sense where I like getting gifts. I actually would prefer that people don't get me gifts. So it's a. It's a ying and yang situation. I. I think that presence should be abolished from the world. We just don't need Scrooge. Yeah. Not in a bad sense. It's just, you know, there's so many better things to life than things, Jared, so.
Jared
Gotcha.
Ryan
Well, they do call it. Yeah. They call it the present because it's.
Miles
A gift that should be the only present that we need. But no, I think love languages, presence are the lowest on my thing. Any you guys. Presents, guys.
Tyler
I am.
Ryan
Tyler's a giver.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Now if I do get a gift, you know, I am grateful for it, but I will not be slighted at all if someone doesn't give me a gift. You know, it's more so that I.
Tyler
Hope I get Miles for Secret Santa next year.
Miles
We doing Secret Santa next.
Ryan
We're doing next year. Are we doing it this year?
Jared
We'll do it next year.
Ryan
Yeah, we'll do it year and a half from now.
Jared
It's too much. Yeah. It's not enough time for.
Ryan
You're more of a homemade gift guy, though.
Tyler
A little bit. It. It. If homemade is the. The move for that person, then yeah, like. Like grandma. Anything homemade crushes with her.
Ryan
But yeah.
Miles
Yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's. If you guys for didn't get me a gift of my birthday, doesn't matter. But like, if a guy halfway commits to a wiffle ball game and then backs out, you know, like, that affects me way more.
Ryan
It was full right off the bat.
Miles
So that was all things that I hate.
Jared
Yep.
Miles
So I think there was only two. Right. That I am.
Tyler
You've reversed on Hump Day and pop Tarts, I think.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Pretty minor stuff to reverse on. I don't know about you guys. Yeah, Kind of like that segment.
Ryan
That was a good one.
Tyler
We'll do it again in 300 episodes.
Miles
I feel like I say hate a lot less. Maybe that's not accurate, but anything like, I genuinely have a more positive sentiment around the world these days.
Tyler
Is there anything that you would like to add to the list that we can bring up at a later date so Jared can mark this episode and come right back here?
Jared
Thank you, Tyler.
Miles
Yeah. Leaving it for future miles. Leaving notes with Jared for future miles.
Ryan
You hate slow greens.
Miles
Oh, I.
Ryan
You hate slow greens.
Jared
Diversion.
Miles
I hate the diversion in Fargo. I hate slow greens.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
I mean, just tell me. You can't putt that, you know, if you like slow greens, just. Just tell me. You suck at putting. You know, you don't have to, like, disguise it by being like, I love small, slow greens. It's like, no, you are ass at putting. So that really grinds my gears. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Jared
It's like saying I'm not a good test taker.
Miles
Yeah. Come on.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Figure it out.
Jared
Oh, you hate, like.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
When you go to restaurants and you have to do everything.
Miles
Yes.
Ryan
Oh, yeah.
Tyler
Oh, God.
Ryan
Korean bbq.
Tyler
That noise.
Miles
The fact that we are paying more in today's society in doing more work for whatever we're receiving is. It will forever be shocking.
Tyler
They. They upcharge you to cook your own food. That's why I'm going out. So you cook for me.
Miles
Correct. They disguise it in all you can eat. Well, it turns out you can only eat so much. So just give me a normal meal. That's about what I. E. And, like.
Tyler
How about you cook it for me? Because that's what I thought the bill was for.
Miles
It's like, it's all you can eat, but if you order stuff and you don't eat it, we're gonna charge you.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
And you only have. You can't sit here for three hours. You have to leave after an hour and a half. So, actually, yeah, it's about one meal is all you can eat.
Tyler
Also, good luck figuring out how to cook this correctly on your first try. So you completely waste that and fill up on your. Your improperly cooked meal.
Miles
And the person explaining to you how to work all the equipment just goes, yes, there's the thing. And then you put it on the thing. And then. Yeah, you just, like, cook it.
Jared
It's like a foreman construction box.
Miles
Yeah. And you're like, okay, well, how do I turn it on? Is it on? Can I touch it? Is it. Can I not? Okay. So it's. On what level should I put it on? You know, can you give me some direction about how long I should cook this stuff? You know, they should.
Ryan
They should be taking the microwave approach. They should have a button that, you know, if you're having ramen with beef tips in it, you should be able to hit ramen. You should be able to have beef tips. Boom. Cooks it itself.
Tyler
I think you could just.
Ryan
It's still more work.
Tyler
Tell the person that I want ramen with beef tips, and then they cook it and bring it to me.
Miles
Yeah, it's like, oh, you gave me chicken to cook on this grill. Did you bring me a meat thermometer? Am I gonna cook it all the way through? Yeah. The food price off of fear of getting salmonella. I'm gonna overcook it and it's gonna taste bad. So thanks for upcharging me for that.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, you pay more to do more for shittier tasting food, essentially. It's kind of a weird model, actually. Very weird.
Tyler
It's horseshit.
Jared
Supposed to.
Miles
No, no, no, no, no, guys. It's an experience.
Jared
Ah.
Miles
That's maybe the worst thing that millennials have done for the world is spent a bunch of money on and. And prioritize the concept of going and paying extra for experiences. Not like traveling to Cape Cod and doing something cool, like, not that experience. I mean, like, let's rent out a full kitchen and cook all of our own food just like we would at our house and pay 500 for it. Like, that kind of experience.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
That's the worst thing millennials have done for the world, and I hate it.
Ryan
Would you be in for, like, a wine tasting experience? I got a. I got a Galaxy.
Miles
No.
Ryan
You'Re probably. Yeah, I think you're busy that day. Maybe a concert?
Tyler
Yeah, it's a Sam Barber concert.
Miles
You see how easy that is to commit or not commit right away so then you don't have to follow up and get all lost in translation.
Ryan
Is there a live stream? I can probably. A live stream I could. I could. I could be commenting on.
Miles
You're done.
Tyler
Okay?
Miles
You're done.
Jared
Is there a live stream of the concert you're going to?
Ryan
Probably not, no.
Miles
Yeah, No, I mean, who's got to.
Tyler
Tune in to Sam Burns doesn't start till midnight.
Miles
What's his name? Sam Benedict.
Jared
Sam Adams.
Miles
Sam Barack. What's his name?
Jared
Darnold.
Miles
I'll have to. I'll have to look him up. What's his name again?
Ryan
Sam Barber.
Miles
Sam Barber. All right, I'll look him up.
Jared
I remember.
Ryan
He's good. Yeah, real good.
Miles
We got anything else, Jared?
Jared
One fun fact. The earliest reference, earliest known reference to a vending machine is in the work of hero of Alexandria, an engineer in Mexico. Mathematician. His machine accepted a coin and then dispensed holy water. When the coin was deposited, it fell upon a pan attached to a lever. The lever opened a valve which let some water flow out. The pan continued to. To tilt with the weight of the coin until it fell off, at which point the counterweight snapped the lever up and turned off the valve.
Tyler
Very clever.
Miles
What a racket. He's just selling. He's just selling water.
Jared
Holy water.
Miles
How do they know it's holy water, though?
Tyler
You know, is he a priest? Did he bless it?
Miles
Like, what was stopping this guy from scamming everyone? Just giving out regular water?
Tyler
I don't know. Fear of God.
Miles
Does it just, like, go into your hands or.
Jared
Let's try to look for photos of it. I couldn't really find anything.
Miles
First vending machine. That was holy water.
Ryan
What made you, like, what.
Miles
How do we get here?
Ryan
How do we get here? This is my. Like, where did you find this? What was the inspiration behind this fun fact?
Jared
I think I was just looking on Reddit. I find them and then I just find a decent one.
Ryan
R slash, fun fact.
Jared
No.
Miles
Oh, I got ways on Reddit.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
He's not revealing his sources.
Tyler
Smart, Jared. Can't give those up. You're like. You're the Adam Schefter of fun facts. Yeah.
Jared
Insider. A fun.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Just curious. Yeah. Out of left field. Left Wiffle ball field.
Jared
Well, I'm playing right field, apparently.
Miles
Well, that's just because I know a bunch of people playing are lefty hitters. So we need you out right field. What do you think the over under is on how many grounders I'm going to hit? A lot. It's going to be a lot of me showing off my speed, trying to beat him out at first.
Tyler
We're not stopping at one one time. We're going two. Every single at bat.
Miles
Two.
Tyler
Two. I don't care.
Ryan
There's only four guys. There's going to be a B. There's got to be a base open somewhere.
Tyler
Yeah, well, you. We're committing. I'm going to. I'm not.
Miles
Might have to light up lefty box, do a drag bunt.
Tyler
In backyard. Wiffle ball.
Miles
I might do a bit and just make my pre. Like when I step into the box routine really long.
Ryan
They might have a Pit stop.
Miles
Yeah, we just gotta get in. We. I'm. I think I'm going mental warfare. You know, just start planting the seeds.
Ryan
You gotta get a. Yeah. Elbow guard, wrist guard. I do have a. I think I have an old fighting necklace you can wear.
Miles
I would like to fighten up.
Tyler
Hell yeah.
Ryan
So just keep. Just to keep your balance.
Jared
Get some red on that drag.
Ryan
Drag. Bunt.
Miles
I'm gonna do some red, man.
Tyler
Show up in baseball pants, long socks.
Miles
I'm gonna wear cleats.
Tyler
I was actually gonna ask that. Like, what?
Miles
I think everyone's just barefoot.
Tyler
Really? Okay.
Ryan
You could run way faster barefoot because.
Tyler
I was just gonna wear my football cleats. That's what I wore.
Miles
So funny.
Tyler
Well, that's what I wore for slow pitch softball.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. I gotta get some double bubble red man.
Ryan
Some Copenhagen, some blc. Big league chew.
Jared
Eye black.
Tyler
I'll bring my.
Miles
There will be no eye black.
Tyler
I'll bring my face camo. So then it counts because we're hunting Danny.
Miles
We have to come up with a team name, too.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
I don't got anything.
Tyler
Yeah, me either.
Miles
We got time. We don't need to put ourselves in the spot. I am looking to rob a home run, though. Be nice.
Ryan
That'd be sick. Yeah.
Miles
Do my best Tori Hunter impression.
Ryan
Yeah. Climb the wall. Maybe climb a tree.
Miles
Also, don't tell anyone this, but I think if I'm pitching, I'm gonna have some pine tar on my fingers.
Ryan
I would. Yeah. Some pt.
Tyler
Just put it right under your hat.
Ryan
Just put it under your armpit. And then. Do I stink?
Jared
Oh, that's a good move.
Miles
I'll just put it in my crotch area. And I'll just constantly be adjusting my nut cup.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You guys aren't wearing nut cups.
Ryan
No, I won't be there.
Miles
I can't be catching a stray.
Tyler
They don't make them small enough, so.
Miles
Well, I'm gonna have to do the Eddie Gordado. I'm gonna have to run in from the bullpen and adjust my nut cup on second base case.
Ryan
Not confirmed that he actually did that. Can't find a single.
Miles
Did it. There's got to be someone out there that can confirm.
Ryan
Not confirmed. Tyler, you could. You could just crack an eggshell. Like, crack an eggshell in half and put that over top.
Tyler
It might work.
Ryan
Well, you said they didn't make them small enough.
Tyler
Yeah, I've been looking.
Miles
I think. I think I'm gonna go thimble.
Ryan
Yeah, you could do, like, a little espresso saucer.
Tyler
I just use the cap of this water bottle cap.
Miles
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
I have espresso saucers.
Tyler
Okay.
Ryan
Like cups and saucers. At my place. He's. Drape this. Drape the cup over your wiener.
Tyler
Is that porcelain strong enough, you think?
Ryan
Well, it'll crack it just like a regular nut cup would crack. But it will, it'll preserve. Okay, but you don't even need to preserve anymore.
Tyler
It's true, actually. I should just not wear a nut cup on purpose.
Jared
Try to get hit free.
Ryan
Vasectomy.
Tyler
Yeah, just pulverize my balls, please.
Ryan
Okay, I gotta get going to the post office. I'm gonna be late.
Miles
All right. Thanks for tuning in, guys.
Jared
All right.
Miles
I was itchy. Well guys, thanks for tuning to another episode of you Bet your Radio. Have a great one and we'll see you the next one. Oh yeah, betcha.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah.
Jared
I want a trip to an all inclusive in Mexico with about 60 others in my company. I'm not sure if I can let loose like I usually would on vacation or if I need to still be semi professional. For context, I'm a realtor, so technically don't have a boss that could fire me if I get out of hand. But I still need advice on what my game plan should be going into it.
Ryan
That's actually a good question.
Miles
I would love to know if he's single or not.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
Because if he's married, this is pretty simple.
Tyler
Just you just be chill and enjoy yourself.
Ryan
It's okay to get face now.
Miles
If you're single and you're trying to, you know what happens down in Mexico stays in Mexico. Try to do a little Toby Keith action.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Then it gets trickier.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
So is it a nightmare for you guys to. Because they're technically not like his co workers. It's like because a realtor I think are independent contractors or whatever. Yeah, they're the same brokerage, whatever.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
But it, you got. You think it would be fun or a nightmare to go to Mexico, an all inclusive resort with 60 of your co workers.
Jared
Depends how long.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
So I think 60 is way better than an eight.
Ryan
I would agree. Yeah, I would agree.
Miles
60. There's got to be some fun people in there. There's got to be people that you don't normally hang out with that you can, you know, it's, there's, you got more options. You can hide in a bigger crowd. If you don't want to do something, you can kind of skip out. No one really notices.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
But to go to like Mexico with eight co workers.
Tyler
Well then if you Go with eight. They're gonna try to keep doing group things. If you go with 60, there's no chance they're making you do it.
Miles
The group things are all optional at that point.
Tyler
It's like a conference you go to one time, and that's it. If you go with eight people, they're like, well, we should go on this hike and go on this boat tour and.
Ryan
Yeah, that's a good point.
Miles
Why won't anyone go snorkeling with me? Yeah, you know what? That's from forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Tyler
Oh, it's a good movie. I don't remember that.
Miles
It's the. He's a guy that works there, and he just comes at the most inopportune time when they're, like, all mad, and he's like, anyone want to go snorkeling?
Ryan
I think as long as you're the person, you're. As long as you're not the person out of the 60 that people are talking about when the trip is over, I think you're totally.
Tyler
That's true.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
Get the second most up.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Isn't. Everybody talks about the guy that got the most up, not the guy that got the second most.
Ryan
Correct. This is, like prime Irish goodbye territory.
Miles
And also, this is like. This is. There's. This could be a great opportunity to gain a lot of respect from people. You know what I mean? But it's also. It's a gamble because you could lose respect.
Tyler
Yeah, Right.
Miles
If you drink all day and you're fine, people are gonna be like, that guy can drink like a fish. He's a sad.
Tyler
He's getting all my referrals.
Miles
If you black out and, you know, pissing someone's pina colada, a lot of respect loss.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Or you could sell a house when you're in Mexico and flex on all the realtors.
Tyler
That's true. Expand your territory to the all inclusive.
Ryan
Yeah, I'm that good. I don't even need to be there to sell a house.
Miles
So. Yeah, I mean, good luck with the food is what I got to say.
Tyler
Don't drink the water.
Ryan
Drink the water.
Jared
Iceberg's dead ahead, though.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
But if you are single, give what happens in Mexico. Listen to Toby Keith. He hasn't listened to it in a while. It's a great song.
Tyler
I think the characters in that song are married grade, which is why it stays in Mexico.
Miles
Oh. If you are. Never mind.
Jared
Just fun.
Miles
Have fun. Take the bones of that song. Don't take it. Don't take it literal.
Tyler
Listen to the Vibes.
Miles
You are right.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
They definitely are married. It's such a bop, though.
Tyler
It is. Listen to the vibes, not the words. And then channel that song.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Listen to this.
Miles
That is elite.
Ryan
And if you're not having a good time, just hit up the pharmacia immediately. Have a good time. So I was gonna throw that out there. Talking Mexico trips.
Tyler
La farmercia.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
This is probably our biggest question ever. Oh, Ice cream cake lover 5000.
Tyler
Okay.
Jared
Mary. Kill Miles, Tyler, Ryan.
Tyler
I'll go myself.
Ryan
I think I'll myself as well.
Tyler
This is. That. This is hard at all. I'm gonna myself. I'm gonna marry Miles for his money, and I'm gonna kill Ryan.
Ryan
Yeah, just all of that. But I'll kill you.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Super easy.
Miles
Yeah, I'll. I'll go myself. The question is, who do you marry?
Ryan
Well, yeah, I think. Are you worried about martial law? Because if you are, I'm pro. I'm probably not your guy.
Miles
No, you are right. You're right on that.
Tyler
But if you want to burn really big piles of stuff, Ryan's your guy.
Jared
Well, Father's Day is going to get weird if you marry Tyler.
Tyler
That's true, but. Yeah, I'm not the father of his kids.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
It's just such pros and cons to marrying either of you.
Ryan
You know, I. I'm not. I won't be mad if. If. If you kill me off. I won't be.
Miles
See, I didn't think you would be until you just said that.
Tyler
You guys already bickered like a married couple. You should just. Just tie the knot.
Miles
You guys bicker more than anyone ever in this company.
Ryan
You and I bicker.
Tyler
We bicker like an actual married couple. You just. Just get mad at each other.
Miles
Yeah, I mean, me and an get mad at each other, so what's the difference? I just. Yeah, Ryan's more handy. I feel like you tried to plug in a baseboard eater.
Tyler
That's true. That is true.
Miles
So for that reason, I might kill you.
Tyler
Okay. I mean, I might kill myself trying to hook that.
Miles
He's just stabbing a wire into the outlet. So I'll kill Tyler. I'll marry Ryan.
Tyler
I am getting that hooked up. By the way, I know a guy now. Junior. He's a junior electrician.
Ryan
Junior Dennis.
Tyler
Yeah, like that.
Miles
What about you, Jared?
Ryan
Yeah, I was just gonna ask.
Jared
I'll kill Ryan.
Ryan
I guess you don't want to do good in that half marathon.
Jared
Then I'll. Tyler and Mary Miles.
Miles
Let's go.
Jared
Yeah, it's kind of the way it is.
Ryan
I.
Jared
It wasn't easy, Ryan.
Ryan
I didn't know you look at Tyler that way.
Tyler
I feel like it was easy. You said it immediately.
Ryan
Yeah, you said it pretty quick. It's. It's almost like you've had that thought about Tyler before.
Jared
I have a quick brain, so.
Miles
