Key Segments and Discussion Points

1. Midwest Wrestling, School Fights & Hormone Havoc

Timestamps: 00:00–04:40

• Tyler's absence due to getting sick at a wrestling tournament leads into stories about wrestling scars, high school fights, and Midwest school culture.
• Myles shares about never wrestling in high school—his Catholic school only briefly offered it.
• Ryan remembers a girl getting her head slammed into a locker over a boy: "That was some world star shit." (01:35)
• Boys agree: Not enough high school fighting considering all the testosterone, but maybe that's what football is for.
• The “skate park fight setup” trope: Most arranged fights never actually happen.

2. The Jumbotron Beer Chug Fail

Timestamps: 04:38–12:12

• Myles attends a UND-Duluth hockey game and gets caught drinking a beer on the Jumbotron—only to be upstaged immediately by a baby sucking on a beer can, which gets a nuclear crowd reaction.
• Myles: "I thought I got the crowd going, and then I just got upstaged by a baby." (06:18)
• The guys riff on what it would take to outdo the baby: sucking on the side of a beer like a baby, or being cradled on camera.
• General lessons: Lean into being the spectacle or just own that you’ve been one-upped by an infant.

3. Midwest Arenas & The Dinner Party Butter Dilemma

Timestamps: 12:20–24:18

• The crew praises the Ralph Engelstad Arena—tight, loud, no bad seats.
• Myles vents about dinner at friends’ houses with homemade bread…but no butter on the table.
  • He ends up microwaving cold butter while everyone eats.
  • Wonders: Is wanting butter with bread a “fat guy move” or is everyone else weird for skipping it?
  • Ryan: "If it’s out, I’m putting butter on it... but I wouldn’t ask." (18:39)
  • Debate: Would you bring your own butter? Is it ever okay to double butter (garlic bread with more butter)?
  • Notable conclusion: Myles resigns to just accepting whatever he’s served next time to avoid butter-related shame.

4. Slogans Game—Brand Tagline Challenge

Timestamps: 47:35–60:21

• The guys compete on brand slogans (Red Bull, Nike, eBay, Covergirl, M&M’s, BMW, Taco Bell, etc.).
• Playful trash talk as Myles dominates, Ryan claims he’s more of a “surface level movie guy.”
• Jared: "The ultimate driving machine."
  Myles (instantly): "BMW." (57:01)

5. 5 Things That Piss Boomers Off

Timestamps: 27:28–45:00 and scattered throughout

A running, laughter-filled segment on classic boomer annoyances:

1. Change in any form

   • "Boomers hate change. But they love getting change [coins] in their pocket." (28:28)
   • Restaurant choices: "They just wanted to go to the same restaurants they’ve been going to for 10 years." (27:57)

2. Going cashless / Technology at payments

   • Boomers puzzled by Apple Pay, cashless bars, and feeling unprepared if they don’t have physical money.

3. Body modifications or “unusual” style on young people

   • "Any body modifications? They can’t stand it... 'How do you expect to get a job?!'" (29:55)

4. Not using coupons or refusing to pay full price

   • Endless store sales exploited: "Everything’s gotta go... Boomers get excited for that." (31:34)

5. Tupperware and Relaxation

   • "They hate it when you don’t return Tupperware—my dad was upset at me for years," and the “inability to just relax” or let anyone else relax.
   • "Seeing anyone relax just pisses boomers off. No ability to relax whatsoever." (33:22)

Other bonus boomer triggers:

• Folks in the service industry (waitstaff), waiting at restaurants, artisan coffee versus classic Folgers, and waiting in general ("If we had to wait 20 minutes to get a seat, that place sucks!").
• Ryan: "They try to act like they're being funny, but you can tell they're annoyed at the waiter." (37:12)

6. Memory Lane – May 2019

Timestamps: 61:12–66:59

• Each host checks phone pics from May 2019; stories of "wall of shame" T-shirt mistakes, CrossFit numbers, and silly filter photos.
• Past “bar takeover” shenanigans, vintage ranch tasting, and memories of heavy road life.
• Fan-submitted kid dream:
  • "I wish I could drive a boat. I wish I could drink bush light. I wish I could drive a Peterbilt..." (66:22)
• Nostalgia for a world before COVID and grown-up responsibilities.

7. Notable Fun Fact: eBay’s First Sale & Seller Rant

Timestamps: 68:43–71:31

• Jared: “First item sold on eBay was a broken laser pointer. Sold to Mark Frazier for $14 in 1995." (69:05)
• Ryan rants about eBay fees (13.25% off subtotal+shipping+tax), lost seller status, and class actions: "I actually think it's illegal." (69:56)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Myles on the Jumbotron fail:
  “I thought I got the crowd going, then I just got upstaged by a baby.” (06:18)
• Jared:
  “They want change clinking around in their pocket, not clanking around in their brain, you know?” (28:28)
• Ryan on boomer taste buds:
  “It’s like boomers, when they were growing up, had to go through a procedure where they just had their taste buds removed.” (39:08)
• Jared, on boomer service complaints:
  “Every restaurant is either too cold or too hot. There’s never a perfect temperature.” (37:39)
• Ryan, on waiting with parents:
  “Having to wait breeds small talk, which they want to avoid at all costs.” (41:34)

---

Final Tone & Episode Feel

• Pure Midwest, “guys being guys” humor; plenty of gentle self-deprecating jokes.
• The tone is breezy, observational, and just irreverent enough to poke fun at both generational quirks and themselves.
• Even as the crew riffs on boomers, their affection for Midwest culture and their own families shines through.

---

For Listeners Who Missed It

• Expect a relatable, laughter-filled stroll through Midwest nostalgia, awkward Midwest politeness (especially "butter shaming" at dinner), good-natured generational digs, and the everyday observations that come with being “Midwest nice.”
• Stay for the slogan game and the banter about ridiculous brand catchphrases—plus plenty of inside Midwestern references and stories you’ll only hear from guys who really are “you betcha.”

Transcript

[Miles]

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of you Bet yout Radio podcast. The boys are back in the studio.

[Jared]

Studio.

[Miles]

Tyler's sick. He said he went to a wrestling tournament, got sick. So I imagine he's got like staff. Staff infection. Imagine he's got ringworm. Maybe even picked up the clap. You never know what's going on at those wrestling tournaments.

[Ryan]

Like a rabdo. You ever heard of Rabdo in the CrossFit world?

[Miles]

Yeah, it was like you just basically you tear your muscles too much or something.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Do they, I think they like turn black or something.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's a.

[Ryan]

Crazy.

[Jared]

Turns into a red Reebok logo.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

Anyway, so, yeah, we got no Tyler today.

[Jared]

They got cauliflower.

[Miles]

Yeah, he's got to get his cow flower. You're drained today.

[Ryan]

Cauliflower. That'll happen at those wrestling tournaments.

[Miles]

So I don't.

[Ryan]

I don't know if you guys have

[Miles]

ever been, but I've actually never been to a wrestling tournament in my life.

[Ryan]

Did you guys have wrestling in high school? The Catholics wrestle.

[Miles]

We would have had to. We would. Had to go play at like a different high school if we wanted to wrestle. Okay, maybe there was like a stint where there was a year or two, but it just wasn't enough. Kids, I played basketball, so.

[Ryan]

Yeah, and the only wrestling going on in your school is just like Josh around, you know, guys being guys wrestling in the hallways and.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's sometimes all you need.

[Ryan]

One time there's a girl.

[Miles]

Thanks for informing everyone, everyone, that that's

[Jared]

it about the American.

[Ryan]

That's a Catholic school thing. Yeah, there's a girl who got her head. Head slammed into a locker at my school one time. It goes over a boy. One girl slam some world star shit. Yeah, yeah. Girls that got her locker and she got her head slammed into it by another girl fighting over a boy.

[Jared]

The talk of the school.

[Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Miles]

Was it your two girlfriends at the time?

[Ryan]

No, it was. I had no connection. I mean, besides the one was my grade.

[Miles]

But yeah, a kid at our high school got sucker punched because the guy that punched the other guy, that guy was hanging out with his sister who walked up to him in school and just cold cocked him and just.

[Ryan]

Did he have to go to confession after that?

[Miles]

He did go to confession. I think it was part of his penance.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'd hope so.

[Miles]

No, I feel like he should add like. And they like split the kid's lip open. I remember it was like bleeding.

[Ryan]

This is sucker Punch. You mean you don't have any Time to react. I don't even know it's coming. Yeah.

[Miles]

I will have to say though, when it happened, everyone was caught a little bit. Like finally someone punched that kid.

[Ryan]

What about the sister?

[Miles]

So I don't know.

[Ryan]

The guy who, who got sucker punched, it was his sister. No, it was the other guys.

[Miles]

Yeah, the guy that punched him, that was his sister hanging out with Gotcha. I don't know what they were doing, but I know they were hanging out.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. It's not good. Not good.

[Miles]

He's like, yeah, yeah. Finally a guy got punched.

[Ryan]

Fights in school. Like. Yeah.

[Miles]

I just can't believe there's not more fights.

[Jared]

Well, they're probably, I don't know, they're probably.

[Miles]

And like I only went to a school with 85 kids, so maybe like if you're at a school of like 600, maybe there's way more. And I just don't know about it, but.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I just feel like you get that many kids with that much hormone imbalances going on.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Too much testosterone, growing muscles for the first time. You think that there would just be more fights.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Maybe that's why American football is so good, is because they, in the fall they just hit each other on the practice field instead of in the locker room.

[Jared]

Exactly. That's probably part of the. Yeah, because the kids are so tired because they have put in like 12, 14 hour days of school and practice and everything. Too tired to fight.

[Miles]

Just grinding our kids to the ground.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Doing homework till 10pm well, and like

[Ryan]

most of the meetups are like, like potential meetups for fights. Those are being coordinated for the skate park, which is down at the park. I mean we're talking, we're talking miles from the school. So it's like, we gotta get off school property. Let's head to the skate park. Skate park. Like. And I, I would say, I don't know, I don't know the exact numbers. At 10% of the time they actually met at the skate park. Otherwise nothing ever happened.

[Miles]

I don't think anyone I know has ever met up that organized a fight.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. Too much time to think about it, you know, someone's gonna back out at that point.

[Miles]

Smart show.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

He didn't show up. I was there at the skate park. No, you weren't. I, I was actually there. Here's a selfie of me at the skate park doing a kick flip.

[Miles]

So one thing I forgot to bring up last week. Do you remember last week? I was like, there's something I wanted, I forgot I remembered. So two weeks ago, I went to the UND Duluth hockey game in Grand Forks. The Ralph Inglestad Arena.

[Ryan]

Yep. Electric place.

[Miles]

And as we're. Me and some buddies are driving up there. And then someone was like, oh, you think they'll put you on the jumbotron? I was like, maybe. I don't know. We'll see.

[Jared]

I hope.

[Ryan]

Be cool if they did. Like, if we kiss. They might.

[Miles]

Yeah. If we'll get on the kiss cam, probably.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Maybe we can finally kiss.

[Jared]

That'd be a real shame. We got at the kiss kit.

[Miles]

I'd be so mad.

[Ryan]

Definitely not something I've wanted to do since high school.

[Miles]

But I don't know who's running their. Their system behind the scenes. They had no idea that I was gonna be there. I didn't even buy a tickets. My buddy bought a ticket. So my name wasn't even on the stubborn. And halfway through the first period, they figured out I was there and was. And was in the stands, God damn it. And a guy with a camera comes and, like, sits, like, two rows in front of us, like, 10 seats over. I'm just sitting there, and I'm like, oh, here we go, here we go, here we go. And sure, a minute later, he's got the camera pointed right at me. I can see him right there. I'm like, okay, here we go. I got a beer, ready to roll. I look up, I see myself on the jumbotron. Because he didn't say anything to me. He's like, hey. He didn't. Wasn't like, hey, we're gonna be on jumbotron. So then I grabbed my beer, suit up, chugged it, got the crowd going because they were already down at this point.

[Ryan]

Let's go.

[Miles]

Two nothing. It was like. It wasn't. It wasn't going und's way.

[Ryan]

Sure game left, though.

[Miles]

So I was like, all right, let's get some juice going. We got a little bit of juice from that, you know, feeling pretty good about it. I was like, all right. Yeah. Hell, yeah. I got. Drink a beer on the Jumbotron. Got the crowd kind of into it. Like, let's go, you. Not two minutes later, they cut to a someone in the crowd, and it's a baby sucking on the side of a beer can. Crowd goes nuts, goes nuclear. Get sucking on the bottom, then goes for the top and puts his. The baby puts him out. The crowd goes insane. Jesus. You know, I thought I got the crowd going, and then I just got upstaged by a baby.

[Ryan]

Oh, setup job is What? It was.

[Miles]

Yeah, they said they did that on purpose, I think.

[Ryan]

Yeah. An absolute frame job.

[Miles]

Framed me look like an absolute dun. Sitting there.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I went and sat in the bathroom for 45 minutes after that. I believe it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I believe it.

[Miles]

Mostly because the line was so long. Not because I was sad.

[Ryan]

Yeah. That kid, that. That little baby doesn't even know how sad you were. Like, they don't have feelings yet at that age.

[Miles]

But, yeah, it was a real hit to the ego. Yeah.

[Jared]

Well, next time you go, you got to take. Take the kid with.

[Miles]

Yeah. And then just like the whole game, like, sorry, buddy. You just got suck on this the whole time.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah, the cuts that baby before it cuts to your kid. Your kid just looks like it's copying that.

[Miles]

I should have got up, been like, wow, Pretty inappropriate, right, guys?

[Ryan]

Yeah, he's not even of age.

[Miles]

Let's boo him. That's bad parenting. Right, guys?

[Ryan]

That's promoting underage drinking, which we don't do around here.

[Jared]

Yeah, nobody does that.

[Miles]

W. The last thing I want to see on the Jumbotron.

[Ryan]

Wow. I better go get.

[Miles]

What I do want to see is grown men chugging beer, though, right, guys?

[Ryan]

Gosh.

[Miles]

Come on. You and D. Yeah. Defect. Sue. Let's go, Sue.

[Ryan]

It's embarrassing.

[Jared]

Let's make up a chat.

[Miles]

Wow, that kid's going places in life, right, guys?

[Ryan]

Oh, jeez, you already started. Drink and have it at 1 years old, right, guys?

[Miles]

Right, guys? Come on, let's all boo him.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but, yeah, guys, mine. Mine was better, wasn't it, guys? Come on.

[Jared]

I could drink way more beer than he.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Next round's on me.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

He can't even buy you guys around. Yeah. Mom's got to do it.

[Jared]

Call cps.

[Ryan]

What? Were they cheering for the baby? Were they cheering for the mom?

[Miles]

Was the baby for sure?

[Ryan]

I don't know. I mean, what if. Like, what if the mom. Sydney.

[Miles]

So here's the thing. You know, this is the problem that I've dealt with. You know, you see a baby sucking on the side of a beer can, you're not gonna be like, for sure, for sure.

[Ryan]

I was so. Yeah.

[Miles]

Completely set up for failure.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Absolute frame job. And, I mean, you also learned a lesson at the same time. It's like, next time you get on Jon, don't chug the beer. Just suck on the side.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

You know,

[Miles]

camera guy, come back. Come back. Come, come. Come back over here. Watch. I'm. I'll suck on the side of it. Let's try it. I Look,

[Ryan]

I'm a side sucker.

[Miles]

I can do it too. Here, here, hold me, Ryan, hold me and I'll suck on the side. Just audible like.

[Jared]

Is that weird at all?

[Ryan]

No, no. It's a family friendly environment.

[Miles]

Imagine if I got. We got a jumbotron. You were holding me like a baby. I was sucking on the side of a beer.

[Ryan]

Can I. I can guarantee you would.

[Miles]

But the crowd would go nuts.

[Ryan]

Get people going.

[Jared]

Could. Could you cradle vials like standing.

[Miles]

It'd be like wood, but his face would be so red and he'd have that. His vein. The vein that goes right here would just be bulging.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. It's kind of like a zercher squat. If you. If you're familiar with a zercher squat, it's where.

[Miles]

You know Zurt squat, Jared?

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's where you squat with the bar, like in the crook of your arm like this, kind of be like that. What do you like? What are you, 230, 240? I don't think I can search your squat 240, let alone hold it.

[Jared]

You could for five seconds.

[Ryan]

For a Jumbo. For a Jumbotron. All time. For an all time jumbotron moment. I think I could.

[Miles]

No, dude, because you're holding me like a baby. So I'm like. I'm wrapped. I got my legs around you and I got my arm up here. Oh, I'm not.

[Ryan]

Okay, sure.

[Miles]

Yeah. And you're like, kiss me on top of the forehead.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

So weird.

[Ryan]

But if that's gonna score goals, if

[Miles]

that means that we're gonna get the crowd going. More than that, B. Then we'll do it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. If that's gonna get pucks on net. Absolutely.

[Jared]

Pucks deep in.

[Ryan]

Get the pucks deep. Pucks on net.

[Miles]

Just pepper the net.

[Ryan]

That's all about.

[Miles]

I don't know if I'm in that scenario again. I might just. I might just take off my shirt, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

And then they'll show a shirtless baby going like this and just the crowd

[Ryan]

will go wild with like a painted six pack on or something.

[Miles]

God damn it.

[Jared]

But you. You sweat through it so it all, like all drips away.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's like you just. Someone on your chest.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

There's no winning in that. At that moment. Were they sitting close to you? Do you know? Or were they sitting.

[Miles]

I was too embarrassed to look around. My head was down the whole time. I just had to get updates from the announcer.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And watch the. Watch the rest of the game. I was just like, this.

[Ryan]

Just listen for the buzz.

[Jared]

Was that. Was that the first time you're at the Ralph Angles?

[Miles]

That was my first time at the Ralph. I spent some time at the Betty.

[Ryan]

I went to the Betty, too.

[Miles]

B ball Basketball arena. Used to play hoops there.

[Ryan]

Yeah. UND camp back in the day. At the Betty.

[Jared]

Yeah. I've always heard great things about the Ralph, but never been.

[Miles]

Oh, it's really nice.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's an unbelievable.

[Miles]

Very tight arena too. Like it. I feel like. I just feel like there isn't a bad seat in the house.

[Ryan]

No, absolutely not.

[Miles]

But actually though, it's like, I feel like it's the perfect size for a college arena.

[Ryan]

Agreed, agreed. A lot of energy too, because it's packed in so tight.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's good. That's good. I'm glad you get time.

[Miles]

The other thing that I just would like to just get off my chest quick. Maybe this is more of a question for you guys. So I have some friends that invite us over for dinner all the time. They make awesome dinners. So I'm always excited. Food's always good, steak's always good, whatever. But now a couple times in a row, and. And they. They make homemade sourdough bread. So I'm like, this is just. It's just best case scenario for you, but a couple times in a row.

[Jared]

Now, is this Ryan's house?

[Miles]

No, no, no, no.

[Ryan]

That's what I was gonna say.

[Miles]

Couple times in a row. Now when we sat down for dinner, we get the bread, which, you know me, I love bread.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

But what do I love even more than bread? Bread with butter.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

And they, they don't put out any butter for the bread on the table.

[Ryan]

It's an issue. They put oil out.

[Miles]

So no, just nothing.

[Ryan]

That's an issue.

[Miles]

So twice now I've had to ask for butter. And before the first time, they're like, oh, yeah. And they had some and they just put on table and it was fine. But this time they're like, oh, yeah, the butter's in the fridge. So I go to the fridge and this is like a cold thing of butter. So then I'm like, ah, yeah, I

[Ryan]

gotta sit on it.

[Miles]

Well, no. So then I go to the microwave and add like a softened setting. So I put in the microwave and I press soften and hit the number. So then I also had to like, figure out what number butter was for it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So it's whatever. So that. So eventually find the butter button and I go, I go to soften it. Minute and a half. I have to stand by the microwave waiting for the butter to soften. Everyone else is sitting down, eating, and having a conversation. So I finally get the butter softened up. Didn't even soften it that good. And I sit down with my butter, and I'm like, yeah, he needs some butter, guys, for your bread. I was the only one that ate that used the butter.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

Everyone else was just raw dog and bread. And I'm trying to figure out, is this, like, a fat guy thing that I'm doing that I. That I want butter with my bread? Am I the crazy one, or they the crazy one for just being like, yeah, we're just not gonna have butter on our bread? So I noticed some. I noticed some techniques. Some people, we had some pasta. They were, like, kind of, like, slathering up some of the marinara sauce with their bread. Like, am I doing bread wrong? Do I need to adjust how I'm doing bread or what? Like, what in here? If you were in my shoes, what would you. One, would you ask for butter? And two, am I not supposed to be doing butter on bread?

[Ryan]

Well, I think right away, I was thinking, like, ketchup with the steak. I don't think it's that. I don't think it's that bad. I don't think it's that bad of a situation. Now, if. If you're having a dish that's dippable, like, no.

[Miles]

No soup or anything. If there was no pot, no pasta

[Ryan]

with, like, red sauce or anything.

[Miles]

Yeah, I just said there was.

[Ryan]

Okay, well, that's what I'm asking that I consider that's. That's dippable.

[Jared]

A difficult.

[Miles]

Really?

[Ryan]

Absolutely.

[Miles]

Oh, God, yeah.

[Ryan]

Now, but you would too?

[Jared]

Yeah, I think I would.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I wouldn't have asked for butter. I just would have sucked it up and not.

[Ryan]

How good of a buddy.

[Miles]

Really good buddy.

[Ryan]

Okay, then I think it's fine to ask. But, yeah, like, let's say I was over there. I definitely won't be asking for butter, and I definitely won't be standing there for a minute and a half softening it.

[Miles]

Well, no, I didn't want to be that guy. If I'd have known that that's what I had to go through to get the butter beforehand, I would have just shut my fucking mouth.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

But as soon as I. Because I got up. So, like, if I'd have just been like, hey, do you have any butter while still sitting down there, like, in the fridge? I'd be like, oh, if it's not soft, it's fine. But I was already standing up in the kitchen being like, do you have any butter? Because I thought it would just be out, but it was in the fridge. So then I'm like.

[Guest]

And then.

[Miles]

So then I. I'm like. I couldn't just be like, no, actually, if it's in the fridge, I. I just. So I got it out and then I was like, ah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna look even worse if I try and spread this cold butter on the bread.

[Ryan]

For sure. For sure.

[Miles]

And I'm gonna have to get. So then. And then I went. And it was a whole thing, dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I'd have just. I'd have just chunked it. I'd have chunked it. I'd cut it up in, like, little chun top. Yeah. Yeah. Or gonna put it in your pocket. Yeah, Put in your pocket.

[Miles]

Pocket butter.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know, you ever. You ever put, like, a piece of, like, piece of chocolate in your pocket and then forget about it. It's just mush later? Like, it would happen with me with the bum.

[Ryan]

Yeah, same thing. I don't think you're wrong for putting butter.

[Miles]

Yeah. I was kind of hoping it was gonna be a scenario where everyone was like, oh, yeah, or they were like, oh, yeah, we forgot to put it out.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Then you're the hero for sure.

[Miles]

Or other people will be like, oh, hell yeah, I'll do butter on my bread, too. Pass that over here. None of that.

[Ryan]

I think that kind of radio silence.

[Miles]

I thought I was. You know, again, it's. It's two scenarios in a row. I thought I got the crowd going. Baby upstaged me. I thought I was going to be the hero of dinner. Remembering to get the butter. Silence, Crickets.

[Ryan]

Now, where I think the issue lies is with your wife. Your wife. I think Ann's got to back you up. She's also having butter with her.

[Miles]

I'll have a talk with her.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Because I think that's an issue.

[Miles]

Hey.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Hey, honey, there's something serious I need to talk to you about.

[Ryan]

She's like, what the Now? And even that. Even though you have a, you know, a dipper dish, if you will, I don't think butter on the bread. It's still not unnecessary. I think I. I think that's still.

[Jared]

If it's out.

[Ryan]

If it's out. Yeah. That's the only thing.

[Miles]

So, yeah, my mo. My problem was I asked for butter.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

What was everyone eating when you were, like, standing by the microwave?

[Miles]

Oh, yeah, that's full.

[Guest]

Full blown.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

That's Bad. That's tough.

[Miles]

It's a really tough look.

[Ryan]

Now where do you guys keep your butter? You do, you keep it on the counter like in a butter dish.

[Miles]

The current butter we keep in the counter, then the stuff we're not using goes in the fridge.

[Ryan]

Correct? Yeah.

[Miles]

So as you are finishing a stick of butter, you need to take one out of the fridge and put it on the counter for it to soften up for sure.

[Ryan]

Yep. We're the same way.

[Jared]

It takes forever.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So yeah, I mean that I can't get more Domino Dan then wanting butter on my bread so bad that I leave dinner for minutes.

[Ryan]

Now, did you bring.

[Miles]

Soften it?

[Ryan]

Did you bring your bread up to the microwave with you or.

[Miles]

No.

[Ryan]

Okay, so then you brought the, you brought the butter back. No one else used it. And you're like, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta say something out of pocket so that we can move past that butter thing.

[Miles]

Yeah, like they def, like they, you know, like their debrief after dinner that they definitely. The two other couples over there were like, is Miles let is Miles like trying to gain weight again? The was that butter stunt he pulled.

[Ryan]

Now if it, it's like if the bread.

[Miles]

What's is it? I wonder if everything's okay at home. Do you see how badly you wanted that butter?

[Ryan]

Did the bread come out before the actual meal or do they all come out same time?

[Miles]

All. Same time.

[Ryan]

Okay. Yeah. The more I dig into this, the more I think the butter should bounce. Table.

[Miles]

Yeah, well. And so like the bread we had was store bought. And I said to my buddy, I was like, oh, I thought, you know, I thought you were going to have your like legendary sourdough because he does make really good sourdough. And I kind of meant it as like I was doing it as a compliment. Like your sourdough is so good that like, oh, I'm disappointed. I'm like, not actually disappointed, but I'm disappointed. Like we didn't get any of that, you know, you still doing that? And he definitely took it as like, I was upset he has store bought bread and I actually need to text him to make sure that he knows that that's. I was very grateful for the bread, you know what I mean?

[Ryan]

And the opportunity because he was like,

[Miles]

oh, no, you know, we do that on Sundays and I just didn't have any left and whatever. Like, sorry. And I was like, oh, no, no, yeah, try to whatever. But then later after dinner and he must have been watching me mouth this bread, like maybe he thought, oh, this Bread's bad. He needs butter for it or something. Because then he brought it up again, like, he's like, hey, man, I'm so sorry that we didn't have any of that sourdough. And I was like, no, dude, it's fine. Don't do it again. I didn't mean that as like, I'm upset with you. I meant it as like, your bread, your sourdough is good.

[Jared]

Next level.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So it was a little bit of a disaster for me.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And then I mean, yeah, to make matters worse, if you would have complimented the butter, like, oh, God, this butter is really good. Then it makes the bread look worse because.

[Miles]

Correct. Thank God I didn't do that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

Instead I was like, this butter's dog. Where'd you get this? So I know where not. We're not to buy my butter at.

[Jared]

We cheered it ourselves.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What you should have done.

[Miles]

I'm gonna head out,

[Jared]

stand in the bathroom for 45 minutes.

[Ryan]

What you could have done is just like turn the burner on quick and just, like, hold it over top. I think that would have been quicker than the softened mode. But then I. Then we might. Then we're talking leakage onto the burner and. Yeah. It's a whole situation. So they didn't have. Did you check for spray butter right away? Sweet corn spray butter? Because you could have spray buttered on there.

[Miles]

That would imagine the optics. You imagine the optics, Ryan. Yeah, but if I was like, hey, do you got any butter that I can just fake butter? I can just squirt out of a bottle.

[Ryan]

No, no, you don't ask for. You.

[Miles]

Hey, honey, do you have squirt butter in your pot? In your purse?

[Ryan]

You don't ask for it. You just look for it. And then when you start squirting it while you're squirting it so that they don't know you're using it.

[Jared]

Oh, smart R. Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's a classic cover up.

[Miles]

I don't. Do you have squirt butter? Yeah, I don't have squirt butter. Do you have. I feel like.

[Ryan]

I mean, we don't go through a whole thing of squirt butter, like during sweet corn season in the summer, Sl. Fall.

[Miles]

So see, I just take a stick of butter, keep the wrapping on it. Just peel the very top.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Then I just rub the. The butter stick on the thing.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, we do that too. We do that too. Just in my mind, it gets all messy sometimes.

[Miles]

Rather just squirt it on there.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

I was gonna Say bring your own butter, but that's a fat guy move.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, I'm just. It's just no win next time. I just have to accept whatever gets put in front of me. I think it's the move.

[Jared]

I think before dinner starts, ask about the butter and then go from there.

[Miles]

Yeah. Just be like, oh, bread. Bread and butter. Let's go. That's our bread and butter. Here am, guys. So where's the butter? Should I put that on the table for everyone? Yeah, Yeah. I need to be helpful to ensure that butter gets put on the table.

[Ryan]

Yeah. God, this sour. This sourdough is awesome. You know what would make it even better is if you guys ever try making your own butter, like churning your own butters.

[Miles]

God. I bet you guys would make a mean butter.

[Ryan]

Homemade butter with homemade.

[Miles]

Especially if you just had it, like out on the counter all the time and not hard.

[Ryan]

I guarantee everyone walking through that door is going to ask for that recipe, you know, so. Yeah. When in doubt, you just dip it in your. In your water cup, too.

[Jared]

Got soft teeth.

[Miles]

Yeah. Wine. Put in some wine. Yeah. Dip it in your beer.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Dip it in any sort of liquid.

[Miles]

So, yeah, that was. That's what's been going on with me.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Pasta. Yeah.

[Miles]

Kind of been down bad a little bit lately.

[Jared]

A couple disasters.

[Miles]

Yeah. Looking to bounce back.

[Ryan]

Do you. When you make, you know, the Texas toast, like the brand Texas toast, you put butter on that when it comes out.

[Miles]

That would be insane move.

[Ryan]

I'm just wondering.

[Jared]

It's a good question.

[Miles]

I mean, that is. That's. That's pure domino Dan.

[Ryan]

Pure question.

[Miles]

I mean, the thing has so much garlic butter on it, then to put more butter on it is crazy.

[Ryan]

I'm just asking.

[Jared]

We know you like butter and garlic.

[Miles]

I know, I know. That's where I draw the line. I don't double butter anything, except for I do like doing a piece of toast, putting butter on it, and then putting peanut butter on after that. You ever done that move?

[Jared]

Yeah, that's different.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Have you guys ever.

[Miles]

Because I was like, all right. Why is the peanut butter toast so much better at restaurants, like breakfast spots? Because they automatically butter the toast when they bring it to you, and then you put peanut butter on after. And I figured out that's why I like that so much better.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

More fat and salt and sugar.

[Miles]

Yeah. Just shittier for you. Yes.

[Ryan]

Have you ever done butter, like a butter as the base and then truffle butter on top of that?

[Miles]

I don't. I don't have truffle butter.

[Jared]

I couldn't pick truffle butter out of lineup.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Miles]

What's the difference between regular butter and truffle butter? Oh,

[Ryan]

I don't, like, know where truffle

[Miles]

butter originated, but I've heard, like, I say something funny?

[Ryan]

No, no, I've only heard. I've only heard positive things.

[Miles]

So you're. You just. So you just asking because. Because you're curious and not because that's what you do? Because you made it sound like you do that?

[Ryan]

No, I've never done it. I've just. It's one of those things where you've heard people do it and then. And like, you're like, yeah, you consider trying it, but then you're like, nah, it's just too weird for me. I just didn't know if you guys were in that boat or not.

[Miles]

You sounded like you were pretty high on truffle butter there for a sec.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Again, I've never had it, but the people who have, I think, rave about it.

[Jared]

They write songs about it.

[Miles]

That. That's. That was your whole bit. Who sings that song?

[Ryan]

Lil Wayne, I think, and Nicki Minaj.

[Miles]

And what's the premise of the song?

[Ryan]

I don't remember.

[Miles]

Oh, off.

[Ryan]

No, I actually. I actually don't remember.

[Miles]

It's Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. I think you can guess what it's probably.

[Ryan]

Oh, the premise is probably it male to female intercourse,

[Jared]

I'm assuming. I don't know.

[Ryan]

Again, I. I don't. I don't remember what. What the song is called. I can kind of like. I can kind of hear in my head, but not really. So. Yeah. Surprising it took you guys that long to pick up on that?

[Jared]

I got it.

[Ryan]

Did you get it right away?

[Jared]

Not right away, but I got it, yeah.

[Miles]

You're a moron.

[Ryan]

Just a curiosity. It's. It's a curiosity question.

[Miles]

You're just a straight up moron.

[Ryan]

You call me curious. Ge.

[Miles]

Oh, so that's what's going on in my world. What's going on yours? Jared, what are we doing today?

[Jared]

Things that piss boomers off.

[Miles]

Okay. We're talking things. Things that piss Boomers off. I would say changing the TV station pisses boomers off. Changing the channel.

[Jared]

I. I kind of just had, like, just change. Just the word change and anything revolving around change.

[Miles]

Changing the channel, yeah. Changing where you go to dinner.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

That's, like, one thing I noticed is when I was on vacation, my parents were there. They just wanted to go to the same restaurants. They've Been going to for 10 years and just like, they just don't want to deviate from the plan.

[Jared]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Miles]

Boomers hate change.

[Ryan]

I feel like boomers love currency change, though.

[Miles]

They do love getting re. They give. They hate change, but they love change.

[Ryan]

Correct. Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

They want change clinking around in their pocket, not clanking around in their brain, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Changing keys in the pocket. You gotta hear from a mile away,

[Jared]

I have the boomers. I always tell my dad, I don't have any cash in my wallet. He cannot believe that I never have cash on me.

[Miles]

Or we've been selling stuff on Facebook, Marketplace. So on vacation, I had a bunch of cash in my wallet and my parents were dumbfounded. They're like, this is so weird. What world are we living in that you have cashier?

[Jared]

They're like, what if it's an emergency? You don't have any cash?

[Miles]

I'm like, I don't know.

[Jared]

Most people have Apple Pay now, right? And they don't even take cash.

[Miles]

Like that's.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's like cashless, cashless bar, cashless, whatever. A lot of sporting arenas are cashless now.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

That's got to piss them off in no end.

[Ryan]

Oh, for sure.

[Miles]

Going to a. Going to a hockey game and having to pay with their card.

[Ryan]

Can you imagine trying to watch. Trying to watch a boomer get their credit card into like Apple Pay so they can pay with their phone. Oh, man, they can't. I mean, we can't even remember email, address, password. How are we going to get this thing on there?

[Jared]

Yeah, I know some sport events. You can get like a temporary, like, debit card and put cash in it and then you get a temporary debit card at the event.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Jared]

That's a thing boomers hate. Like blue hair, piercings and tattoos.

[Miles]

Yeah. Any body modifications? They hate it. They can't stand it. Why would you do that to your body? Do you know that it's going to be like that forever?

[Jared]

How do you expect to get a job?

[Miles]

How do you expect to get a job? Is like, now like, most bosses have tattoos, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Like you're gonna have a Zoom interview.

[Miles]

Hope you like wearing. I hope you like wearing long sleeves your whole life. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Long sleeve, turtlenecks, pants. Yeah.

[Jared]

It's like Post Malone and general can never get a job.

[Ryan]

Oh, God, no.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

I feel like boomers hate paying full price for anything like it. They're gonna either. They're gonna either have a coupon or they're going to wait for some sort of Sale. If they're buying furniture. I mean, there's a sale every week. What is this week? Is there a day like President's day? Sale. Oh, St. Patrick's Day still. Still got extended. Actually, I forgot to tell you guys that it got extended like it does every single other year.

[Jared]

Spring sale.

[Ryan]

Spring sale. Yeah. Above freezing. Sale. Gas just fell below $3. Sale.

[Jared]

A tax refund. Sale.

[Ryan]

Tax refund. So that's a huge time for boomies to get the furniture. Yeah, you won't catch them paying full price. You can have at least a coupon.

[Jared]

And the Memorial Day sells like three weeks long.

[Ryan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jared]

They juice that puppy.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They started early and they even extend it for us.

[Jared]

I bought too much furniture.

[Miles]

We had inventory snafu.

[Jared]

Yeah, I up.

[Miles]

Everything's gotta go.

[Jared]

I don't know how much.

[Miles]

Why, why is it if boomers hear everything's gotta go, they're licking their chops.

[Ryan]

Oh my gosh.

[Miles]

They don't even ask. Well, maybe this is all the. That no one else wanted. Yeah, they don't ask that question.

[Ryan]

Everything's got to go at this furniture store. And everything in my house is staying.

[Miles]

Nothing's leaving.

[Jared]

More, more. This one. I found out firsthand that boomers hate it when you don't return Tupperware. My dad was like upset at me because I've kept so much Tupperware in my ears, I guess.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Jared]

They're very protective of over Tupperware.

[Ryan]

See, my parents got smart. They, whenever they finish like, you know, like those, those big yogurt containers or like cottage cheese containers, they always keep those around. So when they send leftovers. Leftovers home with us, they just put them in there and we can throw it away.

[Jared]

Yeah, they've caught on to it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

There probably was a time they got pissed off and that's why they started doing that.

[Jared]

Enough is enough.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah. You're getting caught.

[Ryan]

His cheese container. Yep.

[Guest]

Cool.

[Jared]

Up is a big one too.

[Ryan]

Whip's a big one.

[Jared]

Country croc.

[Ryan]

Country croc butter. Yep. Yeah, I'm trying to think of anything else.

[Jared]

Any cylinder plastic.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's going home with you. But I, if, if I get like a, like a pre made frozen meal, like the whatever. There's a bunch of companies out there that do a dollar ship meals to your door. I have a tough time throwing those Tupperwares away because I'm like, this is, you know, I could put a meal

[Miles]

in this next couple weeks and half

[Jared]

the buddy goes to the packaging. You're like, I gotta Keep.

[Miles]

For sure. Yeah.

[Ryan]

And then you put in the dishwasher once, and, like, either the lid shrinks or it, like, cracks on the side, and you're like, well, I still can't throw it away. I could throw some duct tape on.

[Jared]

It goes with the shop then.

[Ryan]

That's true. Yeah. Fucking nail holder.

[Miles]

I think things that piss Boomers off is seeing anyone relax.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

No ability to relax whatsoever. You know, like, either. You might be, like, sitting on the patio, enjoying the nice weather, but it's like, oh, the patio needs to be sweeped off, you know? Yeah. This chair is suddenly a little wobbly. I need to fix that. You know, you sit down and be like, oh, God, I need to get you something to drink. And then you sit back, oh, God, I need to get you something. You know, it's the no ability to

[Ryan]

just sit and relax because I. I feel like when they sit down to relax, it then it, like, clears up their vision to where they can see stuff better that they have to do, you know? So it's like, all right, if I'm gonna sit on the patio, I'm gonna look out in the yard, and it's like, I gotta mark that sprinkler head over there, because I gotta fix that one next week. And then I got. There's a couple weeds over here, so I got to pick those right now. There was. I forget.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

There's dog. And while I'm walking out to the sprinkler, I have to mark. I have to pick up dog. And so I gotta put my better boots.

[Jared]

My shittier boots on, so.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. And now they're just working.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Dior. I got another one, dear. I guess mostly your dad. Like, I feel like my mom's not quite a boomer. She. She makes sure to tell me that she's not a boomer age w guys. But at heart, she really is.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

My mom has no ability to live life without a plan. I don't know if that's a boomer thing or just my mom thing, but, like, half of. Half of your day is planning the day, getting a plan for that evening or the following day or the rest of the week or the rest of the month or the rest of the year. Yeah. There's always something to plan. And if they don't, they.

[Jared]

They.

[Miles]

They can't do it, right.

[Ryan]

They never grew up listening to Young, wild, and free, though. Living young and wild and free.

[Miles]

They've just. They've never been two guys with a dream before.

[Ryan]

Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

[Jared]

You Know what the word term YOLO means?

[Ryan]

No.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

They never grew up in the yellow

[Miles]

before Drake invented that.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Jared]

Drake poisoned us.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

But, yeah, it's that planning routine, you know, two sides of the same coin.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah, they do that a lot.

[Ryan]

Back to the relaxing thing. I feel like boomers also. They also think that even, like, sitting on a school bus to go to school is relaxing. That's why they walked up. They walked two miles uphill both ways.

[Miles]

Not riding the school bus.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Because, you know, that's just what we do.

[Miles]

I'd rather walk and be miserable.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Barefoot.

[Ryan]

Three feet of snow. Barefoot without a coat on and a knitted hat for my great grandmother.

[Miles]

Something that pisses off people in the service industry. People in the service industry piss off boomers more than anyone in the world. Boomers have no ability to stay patient when it comes to being at a

[Ryan]

restaurant because it's relaxing at a restaurant.

[Miles]

It's just like that. It's like they panic in a social setting and just immediately default to getting pissed at the waiter.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know what I mean?

[Ryan]

For sure.

[Jared]

Especially if they have to wait for their table beforehand.

[Miles]

Or, like, when I order something, you know, Or. Or they're like, hey, do you want more? You want another beer? I'll be like, oh, yeah, I'd love another beer. You, like, really gotta make sure you're. You're grateful for their service. Boomers are like, I thought you'd never ask. And you're like, that's such an unnecessary, mean thing to say, you know? About time.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

How could you tell? You know? And it's empty. Like. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And it's like they. They try and act like, oh, I'm. We're being. I'm being, like, funny. But the way they say it is definitely like, I'm annoyed that you didn't just bring me.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Or like, you're working for me because I'm tipping you.

[Miles]

Yeah. There's, like, a power dynamic at restaurants. For some reason, they just really talk down to wa. Waiters and waitresses.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Or it's an unbelievable scenario. They hate waiters and waitresses.

[Jared]

And every restaurant is either too cold or too hot.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Perfect temperature.

[Miles]

Yep. Yep.

[Jared]

They won't take off their sweatshirt or whatever.

[Ryan]

100%. Another thing that pisses boomers off. I think this is more boomer dads, too, is having coffee that. Like, coffee from a bag versus coffee from a can. I don't feel like you'll catch any boomer dads making coffee that comes from a bag. Oh, Like, a majority of them do.

[Miles]

Nothing would piss a boomer off more than having to buy an artisan coffee.

[Ryan]

Correct. Or even, like, do boomers grind their own beans or are they just totally against that?

[Miles]

Like, we got. We got gifted, like, some coffee grounds from, like, a coffee shop in Duluth when, like, someone we knew was there.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And it was really good coffee. So we, like, looked online. We're like, oh, yeah, let's. Let's just order it. My dad found out we ordered coffee online and was just like, why the. Would you ever do that when you could go to the store and buy Folgers?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

For a third of the price.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Well, that doesn't taste very good to me. That tastes way better. And it's almost. I feel sometimes a little bit like boomers. It's like, you know how, like, we had to do the scoliosis. The girls in our class do the scoliosis. Check.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know, it's like boomers, when they were growing up, like, middle school, they had to go through a procedure at school where they just, like, had their taste buds removed. Correct.

[Ryan]

Burnt off.

[Miles]

And it's like. And replace with taste buds that go, if it's cheap, it tastes good to me.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Miles]

And I'm not saying that just because it's cheap, it tastes bad. I don't. I don't abide by that.

[Jared]

Right.

[Miles]

But when presented with something that costs a little bit more but 10 times better tasting, they will always default for the worst tasting. Cheaper.

[Ryan]

Absolutely. And don't even mention a flavor before the word coffee.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, hazelnut. Kidding me.

[Miles]

Yeah. Oh, God. Milk.

[Jared]

Milk goes as, like, as far as they'll go. If that.

[Ryan]

If that. Yeah. Yes. Correct.

[Jared]

Very intimidated. At the coffee shop.

[Miles]

Now I do something. I do think it, like, you know, the whole, like, stop buying the $8 coffees and you could retire. That's a whole. Another conversation. But I do think that, like, coffees at rest at, like, like, coffee shops are getting absurd. I'm feeling that with them.

[Ryan]

Yeah. If you get a coffee and a breakfast sandwich.

[Miles]

Cannot get a coffee anymore for under, like, $8.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Great.

[Jared]

Even a black coffee is like 4 bucks, which is pretty high.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Used to be free.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I'll just go to the bank and get a coffee.

[Ryan]

I'll go to. I'll drive to Wall Drug, go to

[Miles]

the hardware store, get free coffee.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It's a popcorn.

[Miles]

Go get oil change. Get free coffee.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

Yeah. They also. And this might just be my. I feel like my parents hate waiting.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

No ability to wait. Yep. They'll go to a restaurant and be like, we had to wait 20 minutes to get a seat. That place sucks. And you're like, well, so actually it's probably really good if you had to wait.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Miles]

You know, if you go to a restaurant that you don't have to wait for consistently at peak times.

[Jared]

Right.

[Miles]

It's probably not as good of a restaurant.

[Ryan]

Exactly what I feel like.

[Jared]

It's cheap, though.

[Miles]

It's cheap.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Get right in having to. Also having a weight also, I think breeds small talk potentially, which they want to avoid at all costs, even if it's with your significant other. So it makes them very uncomfortable to sit there and, like, sit there in silence, essentially, because, number one, they feel like they should be doing something. Number two, they're not gonna small talk. So that's the double whammy.

[Jared]

And they're just staring at that little buzzer.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. They're like twirling it a couple times in their hands or like, you know, checking up, checking the clock.

[Jared]

They wonder if it's working.

[Ryan]

Yeah. After five minutes, they'll go up and say, like, it's working, it's just working. Did you go to.

[Miles]

I think it hasn't buzzed yet.

[Jared]

Is it.

[Miles]

Is it because our table's not ready or because it's broken?

[Jared]

That buzzer technology was sweet when it came out.

[Miles]

That was when I was at the zoo on vacation. We got some, like, got some pizza and they gave you a little buzzer thing. And so we were just sitting there waiting for it. And not only did this one buzz, it started beeping super loud.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, they're getting out.

[Miles]

But it, like, worked because then I like, went quicker to go get my food. You know what I mean?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It, like heightens your anxiety level.

[Miles]

Yeah. Like, holy.

[Ryan]

Because you wanna. It's like when the fire alarm goes off, you do like, you do everything you can to get that to shut off immediately.

[Miles]

It's. What's so funny about those buzzer things is, like, you get so excited when it goes off. You're like, oh, it's our time. Our time, you know, especially. We've been selected. We are the ones right now. And then you're walking by, everyone's still waiting, and you're just like, yeah, ours buzz our spots. We gotta get to the front here because ours is beeping and buzzing.

[Ryan]

Excuse me, I'm trying to get through. Especially at a Mexican restaurant when you know the chips are probably going to be there when you get to your seat.

[Jared]

Gotta go we gotta go.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. Is that a good feeling?

[Jared]

I try to play as cool as possible when the buzzer goes off.

[Miles]

Oh, I guess our buzzer's, like, maybe going off. Guys. We, like, maybe mosey and get a

[Jared]

table, because you don't want to be the guy that gets too excited and, like, trips as they're going.

[Miles]

Come on, let's go. It's buzzing. Come on.

[Jared]

Kids would call that losing aura for sure.

[Miles]

That is true. Well, should we take a break? Turn.

[Jared]

Let's do it.

[Miles]

All right, guys, we are all brunted

[Ryan]

up today, as always.

[Miles]

I don't got my steel toes on. I got the just regular boots on. And what was this weekend? I was working in the garage wearing my brunt boots for hours on end. And we know what I loved about it. My feet didn't hurt by the end of the day, and my back didn't hurt by the end of the day. That's like standing on concrete the whole time. The huge W. They're very comfortable boots, and they're, I think, built for longevity.

[Ryan]

Well, and you. You guys know me. I. My. My feet tend to get hot sometimes. I haven't had hot feet slash sweaty feet in these boots yet, which is. And I've worn them out multiple. Multiple times.

[Jared]

That's great.

[Ryan]

So that's. I mean, that's huge news for me,

[Jared]

even with the warmer weather, too. So it's pretty tested for that.

[Ryan]

Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

[Miles]

When you were saying that you were putting up shelves on a concrete floor, by the end, your feet hurt.

[Ryan]

Oh, my whole body hurts.

[Miles]

Should have been wearing your brunt boots. I should have.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Mistake. Don't do it again.

[Ryan]

Another thing that these made me think of when you had your steel toes on last week when we were trying to get that trailer hitch to lock,

[Miles]

Just hammering it with my dude, when

[Ryan]

I had it, when I was doing it by myself, I was hammering that thing so hard with my hand, I, like, got a blister in the middle of it, and I'm like, I'm not gonna do that again. The steel toes up here, and it was like. It was like butter.

[Miles]

Yeah. And it's also like, this is prime brunt sweatshirt weather, too, because, you know, starts out at 30 degrees in the morning, 50 in the afternoon. You got a sweatshirt on all day. You're gonna be great in all day.

[Ryan]

I'm also getting a little bit worried that people are gonna be like, do you just wear the same clothes every podcast? Because I think I just wear this by chance on Mondays because Typically gets washed over the weekend.

[Jared]

It's first rotation. It's your ace in the hole.

[Ryan]

Yes, it is. And we film podcasts on Mondays, so

[Miles]

I do want that one.

[Ryan]

It's a good one.

[Miles]

I gotta get that one.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you can. Well, when I get that spade shovel back from you, I'll trade you this to borrow for just a bit. Okay.

[Miles]

That's your spade shovel.

[Ryan]

It is, yeah.

[Miles]

Because I clean my garage, you know.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Miles]

I got the spade shovel hanging up. I actually used it this weekend. Not for what you think it was. I was hanging a shelf, and I wedged it and leveled it with the shovel. That's your spade shovel.

[Ryan]

It is.

[Miles]

Are you sure?

[Ryan]

100. Yeah. I. And I can remember the day when you at. When you asked if we had a spade shove at the office, and I said, well, we don't have one at the office. I have one I. I like. I have one that you can borrow, though.

[Miles]

Was it in the shop, though?

[Ryan]

It was in the shipping container.

[Miles]

Okay. So it's, like, on.

[Ryan]

Which is yours?

[Miles]

Yeah, I mean, like, probably mine.

[Jared]

And you pay a salary.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, effectively, I bought the shovel. Why?

[Ryan]

I work for my salary, you know?

[Miles]

You know, same like, hey, those are my boots that you're wearing. And that's actually. I say, I'm looking for a sweatshirt. Give me my sweatshirt back.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Next thing you know, the keys in my truck in my office would be missing. It's like, where'd my truck go? Well, it's mine.

[Miles]

That was never your truck.

[Ryan]

It's my truck.

[Miles]

So, guys, if you got lots of work to do and you're looking for some comfortable boosts that boots that will also hold up over time. You got to go to brunt workwear.com use code ybr. You get 10 bucks off your order. All right, Jared, we're back. What do you. What do you got for us?

[Jared]

The YVR slogan challenge.

[Miles]

The YBR slogan challenge. So we have to come up with slogans, or you have slogans.

[Jared]

So I have slogans from popular companies. So I'll say the slogan, and you have to say what company. That's.

[Miles]

And are we nut buddy. But not. Not buttoning in for the answer, or is this me and him deciding together?

[Jared]

I was gonna have you guys go 1v1 against each other.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

So I have eight for each rotational.

[Jared]

Yep. Okay. But we could. You guys can steal if one gets it wrong.

[Ryan]

Okay. I feel like I'm gonna be fairly good at this. I don't know why, but, you know.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

All right.

[Jared]

So no Battle Royale. All right, Miles, Red Bull gives you wings.

[Miles]

I think it's. Well, one, it's Red Bull, and two, it's actually Red Bull gives you wings now because I think they got sued, so you don't actually get wings from it.

[Jared]

Oh, gotcha.

[Miles]

But you could potentially get wings.

[Ryan]

If I don't get an absolute layup for my first one, I'm gonna be pissed.

[Jared]

Okay, Ryan, just do it.

[Ryan]

Nike. Easy. All right, I got you guys on your heels.

[Miles]

Is this gonna slowly get harder?

[Ryan]

Okay. Oh, yeah, Yeah.

[Jared]

A couple warm ups.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Pretty soon we're gonna get a enron or something. Mr. Shkreli.

[Jared]

Yeah. Theranos, I think it was. All right, Miles. The best a man can get.

[Miles]

It's a. I feel like it's a. It's a shaving company. Is it Gillette?

[Jared]

Bang.

[Ryan]

I was ready to steal Gillette. The best a man can get.

[Jared]

Ryan. Buy it, sell it, love it.

[Ryan]

EBay.

[Jared]

Got it.

[Miles]

That one curated. That would have been a terrible look for you if you didn't get that one. Why?

[Ryan]

I just. I just pay attention to the bottom.

[Miles]

I thought it was maybe. I thought it was maybe Mercari.

[Ryan]

Could have been Mercari. Or Poshmark Marketplace.

[Jared]

All right, Miles. Easy breezy, beautiful covergirl.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[Miles]

And that one is maybe my most zesty one. I know.

[Ryan]

Yeah,

[Jared]

Ryan. Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.

[Miles]

Oh, I know this one. Can I steal?

[Jared]

What's the answers?

[Ryan]

Like, this is the company's slogan.

[Jared]

Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.

[Ryan]

M M's.

[Miles]

Damn it. Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Let's go. I had no idea what one that was.

[Miles]

Thought I was going to get a steal there. Like it was G. Give me the upper hand.

[Ryan]

That's Eminem's slogan.

[Miles]

I thought it was good. Or is that. What's that?

[Jared]

Dominoes. That's.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Domino's.

[Miles]

That's Quiznos.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Anyways, yeah, chips are free, dinner's extra.

[Miles]

Paradiso. That's where my parents met.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Miles]

I'm not here without Paradiso.

[Ryan]

Paradis.

[Miles]

How could I forget? Which. If you don't live in Fargo or right around here, you don't even know what we're talking about.

[Ryan]

Mexican restaurant.

[Miles]

Just imagine just a generic white people Mexican restaurant. Actually, it's not generic. It's. It's pretty classy in there.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's good. Ryan, obey your thirst.

[Ryan]

Gatorade.

[Jared]

Not it.

[Ryan]

What is it?

[Jared]

Steel. Miles.

[Miles]

Do I get a mind? Do I. I might as well attempt it, right?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Obey your thirst.

[Jared]

I think When I say, you guys

[Ryan]

will be like, I know what it is. I know what it is. Can I still back?

[Miles]

Is it Mountain Dew?

[Jared]

Sprite.

[Miles]

Sprite. I knew it was a pop. Mountain Dews do the Dew. That was stupid of me.

[Ryan]

God damn it.

[Miles]

It's just, you know, those LeBron ads just didn't do it for me. I just. I couldn't get it, you know, because

[Jared]

you're an MJ guy. Yeah, it was with Haynes. You would have got it.

[Miles]

Yeah. Or Gatorade. You know, Gatorade is. You know. I know it's.

[Jared]

I know what it is.

[Miles]

Gatorade is in you. Is it in you?

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

Yeah. That is unbelievable slogan by itself.

[Jared]

Is it in yet?

[Miles]

Put it in, put it in, put it in.

[Ryan]

Give me a Tinder.

[Miles]

All right, so now. Was that our fourth one?

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

So I'm up four, three now.

[Jared]

Correct it.

[Miles]

No, I didn't get that.

[Jared]

That.

[Miles]

Oh, I'm up. Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

Four, three. Yeah, yeah. Because I got one wrong.

[Miles]

Could have been a two point swing, though, if I'd have got it.

[Ryan]

Could have.

[Jared]

All right, Miles. American by birth, rebel by choice.

[Miles]

Oh, God. You know this one?

[Ryan]

No.

[Miles]

Is she?

[Jared]

No.

[Miles]

American by birth.

[Jared]

Rebel by choice,

[Miles]

Man, I don't even have, like, a starting point. American by birth.

[Jared]

So it started in America, probably.

[Miles]

Yeah. No, I understand that. Yeah, Jared, I got that. Rebel by choice. You know, we're. We're nearing the. The Deep south territory with that slogan. Throwing that out there. Kind of a Yankee, if you know what I mean.

[Jared]

Don't want to get political.

[Miles]

I'll go stuff. I'll go Bobcat.

[Jared]

Nope. Ryan.

[Ryan]

Black rifle, coffee,

[Jared]

Harley Davidson. Oh, yeah, Ryan's a motorcycle guy. I thought he might get that one.

[Miles]

All right, so it's still four, three.

[Ryan]

All right, Ryan, I gotta get on the board here.

[Jared]

What can brown do for you?

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. Ups. Ups.

[Miles]

Doug Heffernan. Four. Four.

[Ryan]

Yeah, four. Four.

[Jared]

Miles. Bet you can't eat just one. One.

[Miles]

Lay's potato chips. Got it. Bang. Domino Dan knows.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Dummy D. And I can tell you this. I did. I failed that. I could not just eat one.

[Ryan]

No. God, no.

[Jared]

Ryan, where's the beef? This is an older one, but it was a pretty popular one.

[Ryan]

Arby's.

[Jared]

Nope.

[Miles]

Where's the beef?

[Ryan]

Where's the beef? Arby's is. We have the beef.

[Miles]

Meats.

[Ryan]

We have the meats.

[Jared]

We have the beefs.

[Miles]

We have the beefs. Where are the beefs? Where is the beef?

[Jared]

Where's the beef?

[Miles]

Where's the beef? Is it Omaha Steaks

[Ryan]

Good guess. That's a deep guess.

[Jared]

As Wendy's.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I thought it was fresh.

[Miles]

Never frozen.

[Jared]

All right, Miles.

[Miles]

So my. What's five, four? I'm gonna. You didn't get that one.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[Jared]

You're right.

[Miles]

Five, four.

[Jared]

All right, Miles. Impossible is nothing.

[Miles]

Adidas.

[Jared]

Bang.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was. That was. That was a layup.

[Miles]

Six, four.

[Jared]

Okay, Ryan, think outside the bunny.

[Miles]

I know this.

[Ryan]

Can you say it in the voice? They say it on the commercials.

[Jared]

Think outside the bun. Think outside the bun.

[Miles]

Now try it in Australian accent.

[Jared]

Think outside the bun.

[Miles]

What is it? Think outside the bunch.

[Ryan]

Think outside the bun. I'm gonna rule out burger shops and I'm going sandwich shop specific. So I think think outside the bun. What's going on outside of the bun at a sandwich shop?

[Miles]

I. I think I have a guess.

[Ryan]

I don't know. Herbert and Gerbert's.

[Miles]

Nope. Taco Bell. Bang.

[Jared]

Good. Think about rubbers and groovers.

[Miles]

Has buns.

[Jared]

He didn't think outside of it.

[Miles]

You were thinking inside the bun. Literally, you did. Couldn't think outside the bun. Seven to four. Holy smokes.

[Jared]

Run away, Kels. The ultimate driving machine.

[Miles]

BMW.

[Jared]

Bang.

[Miles]

Let's go 84. I mean, this is. This is cake. Or I'm just so much more impressionable than Ryan. I target market for these for. For stuff because I absorb all marketing materials. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think I'm a surface level movie guy. I just think of what it come. What I am when it comes to commercials. I may. I'm just not even there mentally. What's the next one, Ryan?

[Jared]

We try harder. I don't think I'll get this one.

[Miles]

I don't think I'll get this one.

[Ryan]

Well, tryings for losers.

[Miles]

Yeah. Either you do or you don't.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

There is no try.

[Ryan]

You're not Yoda. We try harder. Can you say in the voice, we try harder? Well, that was the same voice as the Taco Bell one.

[Miles]

It's the same actor. Oh, same voice actor.

[Ryan]

We try harder. I don't. I don't know. Bobcat,

[Jared]

Miles,

[Miles]

Staples, Avis. Avis. They're trying harder, but they don't. It's harder than. Who hurts harder than $. Which doesn't try at all. God damn it.

[Ryan]

I just wasn't.

[Miles]

No wonder we didn't get that because we're like, there's no way a rental car company would be trying at.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it makes.

[Miles]

No way they would say that they're trying when everyone can see that they're not. It's a Complete contradiction to who they are.

[Ryan]

Makes total sense.

[Miles]

You know, it would be like, what was the American company that. Oh, I'd be like Harley Davidson saying, you know, we love China. Having that as the car company slogan that we try harder is like Harley Davidson saying, we love China. It's complete contradiction to who they are. Anyways.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, I'd have never got that one.

[Jared]

So I just have a few random ones. Live in your world, play on ours.

[Miles]

Live in your world, play in ours.

[Ryan]

PlayStation.

[Jared]

Got it.

[Miles]

Oh, is this free for all?

[Jared]

Yeah,

[Miles]

we gotta hit the nut button.

[Jared]

Two more. Think big,

[Miles]

Apple.

[Ryan]

Think big.

[Jared]

Think big.

[Miles]

Ryan, there's apples. Think different.

[Ryan]

I did say in the voice, think big. The same voice actor. Think big.

[Jared]

That one is. I don't think I get it. Imax.

[Ryan]

Ah, no,

[Jared]

that's thx.

[Miles]

No. Off.

[Jared]

And then last one. Fly the friendly skies.

[Ryan]

Frontier.

[Jared]

Nope.

[Miles]

Spirit.

[Jared]

Nope.

[Miles]

Southwest.

[Ryan]

Alaskan.

[Jared]

Nope.

[Ryan]

Ryanair.

[Miles]

United.

[Jared]

Bag.

[Miles]

Yeah. Let's go. Yeah. I mean, it also just kind of goes to show having a company slogan a lot of times, unless you're able to figure it out, like, Nike just does matter.

[Ryan]

Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Our car company.

[Miles]

I want to try harder.

[Ryan]

I want to know how hard you're trying, because you're not doing. You're trying.

[Jared]

Coldest podcast the Midwest.

[Miles]

Yeah, no one says that. Yeah. As I do a slogan. All right, what else we got? Jared?

[Ryan]

That's fun. Jared. I'm surprised if we can get a BK in there.

[Miles]

Have it your way.

[Jared]

Yeah, Yeah, I tried to change it up.

[Ryan]

What's. What's Subways?

[Miles]

E. Fresh Fresh. That's, like, one of the most famous

[Ryan]

ones for some reason. I was thinking Subway was having your way.

[Jared]

You didn't watch more commercials.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm tuning. I'm pretty tuned out. Yeah, I'm work. I can't. I can't sit still anymore. Boomer can't relax.

[Miles]

What else you got?

[Jared]

Memory lane. So I'll just type a random date our phones and then just kind of

[Miles]

see what we were doing in that date.

[Jared]

Yep. So this will be May 2019.

[Miles]

May

[Jared]

2019.

[Miles]

2019.

[Ryan]

Oh, are you going to photos?

[Miles]

Yeah, I'm gonna start there. All right. May 2019. I was hanging up the bottom and didn't get the heat press on there.

[Jared]

Good.

[Miles]

This one. Ryan messed up the bottom and didn't get the heat press on there. Good enough. So there's another one to the wall of shame. Too many shirts on this wall. He's getting the axe. Damn. So I. I took Ryan messed up a screen, a heat Press on a shirt. And I stapled it to the wall. Ryan's wall of shame. And there was already another shirt hanging up there that the print was upside down. That was on May 15th of 2019.

[Ryan]

Yeah. May 19th, it looks like, if I can count correctly, I'm. I'm. I'm deadlifting. 385 for. 380. Yeah. Three 45s, a 25 and a 10 on each side.

[Miles]

I see.

[Guest]

Go.

[Ryan]

Those are reset reps, too, so there's no bouncing involved. If you're wondering, that's 385 for 3.

[Miles]

I have a clip from May 30, 2019, of me and Ryan on this podcast. That is. The clip is. Okay. These are me and Ryan's top three lake activities.

[Ryan]

So my number three lake activity would be activity. Teeing up a golf ball, smashing some balls out into the lake. And why do you always hit better with your driver off the lakeshore than you do the tea box?

[Miles]

You got no pressure. You're loose as a goose.

[Ryan]

Yep. And you're just. Why I sound like a 14.

[Miles]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

After that clip, I probably. I probably went. This would be.

[Miles]

I hate this segment.

[Ryan]

275. This would be 295 for three on the squat.

[Jared]

Squatting.

[Ryan]

That was easy work. That was also asked to grass, if you were wondering.

[Miles]

We were also in. We were in Iowa. What was it? Where did we go? Joyce, Iowa. For a bar takeover. Ryan.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Miles]

2019 was heavy bar takeover days.

[Ryan]

Yeah. At a wedding. What was a wedding venue called Joyce, Iowa?

[Miles]

I don't remember.

[Ryan]

I was like 15 minutes from Diamond Joel. A lot of squats, a lot of deadlifts, a lot of bench back in 2019 for me.

[Jared]

Was that CrossFit days?

[Ryan]

Nope. No, CrossFit days were. That would have been 2014.

[Jared]

Gotcha.

[Miles]

May 9, 2019, I was at. I was in St. Louis and went to Twisted Ranch and. And taste tested all their ranches. They got like 30 different ones. Remember that?

[Ryan]

That would like a set of Ranch. Ah, sure. What do you Recommend?

[Jared]

We got 30 of them. Truffle Ranch.

[Ryan]

Truffle Butter Ranch.

[Miles]

Also, I have a photo. Look at that. Ryan, we're at the Showboat Saloon. Oh, I don't know if this happened, if this is the night that we actually were at the Showboat Saloon or if this was just. I saved it later, but look at that guy.

[Guest]

Jared,

[Jared]

looking good.

[Ryan]

I sold the shirt off my back that night.

[Miles]

We know you talk about a lot.

[Jared]

And he farted in the shower that night. Too.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah, that was at the Hairball Hotel. Yeah, May 2019. Or April. I don't remember. We were in at the Wisconsin Dell's Hairball Hotel.

[Ryan]

And there was no water parks open, which sucked. I was hoping to get hit a quick slip and slide.

[Jared]

Push a kid down the slide.

[Ryan]

What were you doing in May? May 2019.

[Jared]

All I have is, like, this selfie of me just like that.

[Ryan]

Beardless Jarrett.

[Miles]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

Damn. Let's go, dude.

[Jared]

I guess I didn't take too many photos.

[Ryan]

That was. I mean, damn, that's seven years ago already. Pre covered, too.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Ryan]

To think of what we were about to get hit with, you know?

[Jared]

Right.

[Ryan]

Absolute lockdown in the next six months after that.

[Jared]

Got a time machine.

[Ryan]

I tell Everybody more than 10 months.

[Miles]

Here's me with the woman. Filter on.

[Ryan]

Is fun to pop in. Like an old Snapchat filter on every once in a while just to see. I don't know. The bald one's the best.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Because now for me, the ball, the one with the mustache makes it.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'm. I saved a thing that clearly a fan sent us, and it looks like it. A parent sending their kids thing from school. And the thing is titled I Wish. I don't know if it's a poem or what, but the kid said, I wish I could drive a boat. I wish I could drink bush light. I wish I could drive a Peter belt. I wish I could sleep in. And I wish I could ride a dragon. By Marcus.

[Jared]

Shout out, Marcus.

[Miles]

So that's on my phone.

[Ryan]

Shout out, mark.

[Jared]

It's probably 30 years old by now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, seven years ago. Yeah, 23. Yeah, it sounds about 23.

[Miles]

Marcus is cringing hearing his thing on the podcast.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but if he says he's Peterbilt, you'd like to sleep in. And he might have kids at that, But I guess 23, you could have kids at that point.

[Jared]

Yeah, here's.

[Miles]

Here's me with. With a Clydesdale.

[Ryan]

Hell, yeah.

[Miles]

Oh, nice Flops actually has a photo very similar to this with him and Duster feeding him an apple he had as his background on his phone for a long time.

[Jared]

Horse isn't smiling. I wonder why the long face.

[Miles]

Who's.

[Ryan]

Whose horse is that?

[Miles]

Whose horse is that? That was good. You going to weigh in, Jared?

[Jared]

Yeah, I'll weigh in. Last time was 218.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you were.

[Miles]

All right.

[Ryan]

Tough weekend, too.

[Miles]

We gotta start bumping up the numbers on the scale.

[Ryan]

Tough, Jared. Tough weekend. March Madness weekend. You were gone last Thursday.

[Miles]

Last Thursday.

[Ryan]

We can about imagine what you were doing.

[Miles]

What's it say, Ryan?

[Jared]

215.2.

[Miles]

215.2. Wow.

[Ryan]

That's confirmed.

[Miles]

I need.

[Guest]

We don't even need.

[Ryan]

We don't even need July 4th.

[Miles]

What's the guy get, 204?

[Ryan]

No, he's 200. Was it 204, 200 by July 4th

[Jared]

or 204 by July?

[Miles]

You gotta slow down. Oh, because. Because your weigh in will be on July 4th, so you don't want to lose all that weight and then gain it back. You know what I mean?

[Jared]

And I also have to come here on July 4th and weigh myself, Ed.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you do.

[Miles]

Yeah, you do.

[Ryan]

That's my scale. You're not bringing that with you. Well, it's miles of scale now, I guess, because it's at his.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's on the premises.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Can't take any time off, so.

[Miles]

Yeah. All right. Is that it? Jared?

[Jared]

One fun fact. Oh, yeah, I got one. The first item sold on ebay, then known as auction web, was a broken laser pointer. In 1995, founder Pierre Amadir sold it for to a collector, Mark Frazier, who intended to repair it. So prove the viability of the online auction platform.

[Miles]

Do you know how much it sold for?

[Jared]

It's like 14 bucks.

[Ryan]

Something.

[Miles]

Jeez.

[Ryan]

Yeah, probably.

[Miles]

Yeah, back then that's like what, 1400 bucks?

[Jared]

Probably.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. And he didn't even get hit with the fees because he owned the company.

[Jared]

True.

[Miles]

His fees just went right back in his pocket. About a loophole.

[Ryan]

These days you sell something for 14, you probably get like a $50 back.

[Miles]

Actually. How much would you actually get?

[Ryan]

No, there's a. On most items, it's 13 and a quarter percent fees that you pay them. And what's dumb. You want to hear it's dumb, is they. They take that 13 and a quarter percent off of the subtotal, plus shipping, plus taxes. So if you sell a hundred dollar item, it'll take the 13 and a quarter, say off of like 112.50 shipping and taxes. It's the stupidest thing ever, so.

[Miles]

Well, this is your platform to screaming on the mountain.

[Ryan]

I actually think it's illegal. I think my. Me and the postmaster are tight. He's got, I don't know, he's part of some organization. He's a president of some organization. He's got some sort of lawsuit going

[Miles]

to ebay or some class action lawsuit.

[Ryan]

Class action? Yeah, class action. Take a percentage off sales tax.

[Miles]

You know, I don't.

[Ryan]

But I believe you're not allowed to do that.

[Miles]

Says him whistleblower hotline here.

[Ryan]

Because he's a big ebay seller too,

[Miles]

so it's good to know. Yeah, those greedy corporate companies, you know, Greedy.

[Ryan]

And then they take my preferred seller star away because I had, I. I had too many items that didn't show up on time when they were shipped earlier than they were supposed to be. Oh, you know who whose fault that is? Not mine. The USPS system's fault.

[Miles]

Wait, so this is big news in the Ryan reseller world. You lost your preferred seller.

[Ryan]

I do not. So now I got it. Now I gotta. Now I gotta get. Wait another 30 days to get it back because it run the cycles every 30 days, so it's.

[Miles]

So we're not gonna sell anything this month.

[Ryan]

That's my personal account. We still got it on because we.

[Miles]

Thank God I don't need you tarnishing our stuff.

[Ryan]

No, I mean, I. I like the ebay account we got. That's worth some money. I should sell that on ebay. I mean, you don't want to talk about flawless.

[Jared]

Yeah, those.

[Miles]

Talk about a no hitter when you got one going.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, I don't believe in that.

[Jared]

I prefer you not to.

[Miles]

Well, Ryan can't prefer anything anymore.

[Ryan]

I can't because I'm not prefer seller anyway.

[Miles]

All right, guys, well, thanks for tuning in to another episode. Have a great week. We'll see you next one. Oh, you betcha. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

So back when we were kids, how did they. If they had to change practice time, how did they do that?

[Miles]

They just called people or called up, called the landline.

[Jared]

I think you would have a call, buddy.

[Miles]

Yeah, you call these three people. I'll call these three people.

[Guest]

Yeah. Or like if it was predetermined, like if you found out Thursday practice was going to be canceled on Tuesday, they would just tell you at practice and it was on you to tell your parents if you forgot. You're gonna be the one kid at school on Thursday afternoon.

[Miles]

Were you guys renowned lover of practice canceled?

[Guest]

Oh yeah, dude.

[Miles]

Feel like for me it depended on the sport. Like, I liked football practice. I like basketball practice most of the time. But if baseball practice got canceled, I was like, oh yeah, let's go. Oh, it's such a waste of time.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think so.

[Jared]

Nice.

[Miles]

Like, I think of most sports, baseball's practice is probably like up there, especially for kids is like a way the biggest waste of time.

[Guest]

I don't know, I. I thought so. I got pumped when wrestling practice got canceled because it was hard and it was like Give me a night off. But I would have been bummed if tracker baseball practice got canceled because we were just chilling around.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Guest]

So they were really fun.

[Miles]

So, but what I'm saying now, like, effectiveness of making players better baseball and track, it's got to be so low on the totem pole. I even put track above baseball. Like, either you can feel the fly ball or you can't.

[Guest]

You know, I don't know if mom talk's gonna survive this, so.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

[Miles]

At like, a high school and college level, I would say that's not true, but definitely with, like, younger kids.

[Guest]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, I think, yeah, younger kids. I, I, I would agree. Like, how young are we talking?

[Miles]

Let's go K through six or K through eight?

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, I can't agree with that one. From a baseball standard.

[Miles]

So what am I learning from baseball practice?

[Ryan]

I mean, you're getting reps. The biggest thing in baseball is reps.

[Miles]

So why not just play a game?

[Ryan]

Because you might practice. Because you could sit, you might sit in center field and get two reps the entire game. Or you might, I don't know, the batting cages.

[Guest]

You're gonna get, maybe get four at bats in a game.

[Ryan]

Yeah, four. Yeah, exactly.

[Miles]

But I just feel like if you are starting at center field, you're catching the fly ball regardless of how many reps you got in practice. Yeah, in, in the sixth grade.

[Guest]

See, I think my, I think baseball, you need reps more than you need track.

[Ryan]

Agreed. Oh, I mean, 100.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. But track is actually a lot about running form.

[Guest]

It, it totally is.

[Miles]

Which actually you have to learn in practice.

[Guest]

Right, but you can also.

[Miles]

But I don't need to learn how to catch a, a fly ball. I just catch it.

[Ryan]

4.

[Guest]

Well, there's, there's proper technique, and you gotta get reps to learn how to track a ball in the sky.

[Ryan]

Tracking balls, getting behind practice.

[Miles]

If baseballs. If you got it, you got it. If you don't, you don't. I think. And I'm a, I'm a, I'm a pure example of that because I did not have the skills to hit a ball being pitched to me. And I went to baseball practice every week, twice, two, three, four times. I don't know what it was. And by the end of it, I came out the other end and still not being able to hit a baseball. So you, and you know me, I definitely was trying to hit the ball. I definitely wasn't like half assing it in practice either.

[Guest]

This sounds more like a personal.

[Miles]

A little bit. The system failed me, so just dismantle it.

[Ryan]

I think it. I don't think it was. I think you were probably meant to be a pitcher. Like as a six. As a six two lefty, you could have done major damage had you had a. A coach that is like, he's going to be on the mound. We're going to practice, we're going to. He's going to be a pitcher.

[Guest]

Why is QB1 not stepping on the mount?

[Miles]

Yeah, I had that offer, actually.

[Ryan]

And you chewed on the mound.

[Guest]

You wanted to be a dh. Follow your heart.

[Miles]

Just really didn't like baseball.

[Ryan]

That could be why you didn't become a better hitter. Because you didn't really. You didn't like you.

[Miles]

I wanted to. And then I just, like, I didn't.

[Jared]

I just.

[Miles]

I could have went pro in baseball. I just didn't have time.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, I get it then. Time's valuable. Time is money, time is extra reps.

[Miles]

I don't know, I think of a lot. Like basketball practice, like, team chemistry is a real thing. So, like practicing together, you know, like shooting, doing drills, dribbling drills. Like, you can get better at that over time and you will. Whereas, like catch and fly balls, it's like either I know how to read it in the air or I don't.

[Guest]

I disagree with that. That you can get better at catching balls. I don't know. And fielding, baseball practice and hitting track. Like you. You can improve your running form, but you could also get faster by just going to the weight room, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Guest]

So I, I would. Baseball practice is more technical than track for sure. Until you get to high levels and

[Ryan]

taking BPs that it practices the best,

[Guest]

it's way more fun.
