Mozzie
Welcome back to you bet, your radio podcast, the coldest podcast in all the Midwest. I'm Mozzie, BET Guy here with T Shirt Guy, also known as Ryan. Ryan, how are you doing today, bud?
Ryan
Doing good, Doing good.
Mozzie
Boys, we're here.
Ryan
We're live.
Mozzie
We're ready to go. I'm feeling a little hot today.
Tyler
Like.
Ryan
Like it's in temperature.
Mozzie
No, this is close. I'm having some more construction woes in my life.
Tyler
Oh, no.
Mozzie
This time it's not a construction company.
Tyler
Ah.
Mozzie
This time it is the insurance company.
Tyler
Rat bastards.
Ryan
What sport did he play in in college?
Mozzie
No, this is not the insurance guy. This is the insurance company. So, okay. It's not really a me versus them. I just wanted to share your guys, my experience with you guys, just so you know where I'm at.
Ryan
Yeah, I want to hear it.
Mozzie
So I, I. I've lived in my home for about four years now, and we've had. We've had. We had some water damage in one of the rooms. There's, like, clearly some water damage in the sheetrock on the roof or on the ceiling. Probably came from the roof above.
Jared
Right.
Mozzie
So what do I do? I buy insurance. I've had insurance. So when stuff like this happen, you're covered. Right. I get the insurance adjuster out there. He comes up, he climbs on the roof. He's, you know, this and that, you know. Oh, yeah, for sure. I get the quote back from the insurance company to fix, which there's probably mold up there, too. Yeah. More than likely water damage, sheetrock, maybe something with the roof, all that. They. They gave me a quote for $581 or something like that. $581 to repair. So then I get another construction company out there, and they're going through it like, oh, yeah, we could do this to get it repaired. They're like, so what the insurance company said. I said, they said that it should cost around $580, and they said, you can't even get a drywaller to show up for.
Jared
They laughed out of the room.
Mozzie
And, like, I don't want to be the pile on the insurance company, because I know we've had a lot of insurance stuff go on in the past, however long, but 580 bucks? I mean, it's like, this is. This is the insurance company thought process, like, oh, your house burnt down. Well, the best we can do is a high five for encouragement to rebuild. Yeah, that's what we could pay out.
Ryan
We had a couple good kids that week to not show up and grab their DQ at the counter. So here's a couple more coupons.
Mozzie
Here's a coupon for a free DQ to make you feel better about your house having water damage.
Jared
Here's a water bottle with our logo on it.
Mozzie
Yeah, yeah. Here's a Richardson 112 hat with our company's logo on it. That should. That should be enough to cover all the water damage. Right?
Ryan
Here's a drawring backpack, too.
Tyler
While we're at it, a gift certificate for some kitty litter you can sprinkle on the damp stuff.
Mozzie
And I just. I could have walked in there and just looked. Basically anything. These days, if you're going to repair some of your house, it's going to be at least thousand bucks. I swear to God. Unless it's a guy coming over to fix your water heater and just plugging it in like a guy did for you.
Ryan
Yeah, well, it wasn't just plugging it. It was the gfci. But, yeah, I mean, for. It actually shocks me how much less that is than what, you know, what they, like, quoted my pickup out at when I wrapped it around the light pole. Like, you would think that something done to your, like, mold or water damage in your house would be exponentially more than what my pickup was.
Tyler
You live in a house, Correct. You drive a vehicle, Correct?
Mozzie
Yeah. And so I just. Was beyond me. I just couldn't believe it. That.
Ryan
Yeah, that's insane.
Mozzie
So I did not accept that. I said, hey, I'm going to get a quote, and we're going to discuss this afterwards. I mean, the quotes probably be, what, like 8 grand or some shit? They're trying to tell me it costs 500 bucks. Unreal.
Tyler
Tell them to have somebody. They can find someone and hire someone for 580 bucks that if they truly think that's what it's going to cost you.
Mozzie
Yeah, counteroffer. I mean, if I hired. It's like they would come in and be like, all right, I will do $580 worth of work. They'd take a Sheetrock saw and just cut out, like a one by one square. Be like, all right, that's 580 bucks. Good luck with the rest.
Ryan
No, dude, they would just pull into the driveway, back up said, walk in.
Mozzie
The house, and then turn around and walk right back.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, you show us the damage. There it is. All right, that'll be $580.
Mozzie
I mean. Oh, that's. That's. You could have knocked me over with a feather when they said, all right, here's. Here's what we came back with.
Ryan
And it's like. I don't know. I feel like they do that because to go to, like, the amount of calls and that people that you're gonna have to get.
Mozzie
So I'm. I'm already on my 12th call. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
Between the insurance company getting the contractors out there. Well, first. I called the contractor first, and my insurance company said, wait till we come out. So I had to call them back and say, hey, we're gonna come back later. It has just been. I mean, like, I should have just. Me and my dad should just do this ourselves at this point. There's no way I'm gonna get what I need to get for this. Right?
Ryan
You can get. Yeah. I got my nail gun, too, if you need that.
Jared
Yeah, There you go.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
Get the nail gun back.
Mozzie
Tyler says, though, if I keep it for two weeks, it's mine.
Tyler
It's only family members. You heard the rules.
Ryan
Have it for more than eight hours.
Jared
Because you're like family.
Mozzie
It's like Viagra. If you've had it for more than four hours, it's yours. Call doctor.
Ryan
My kid broke his leg end of last year. And we got the bill in and there was one. There was something on the bill that we just, like, they just, like, didn't do. It was like some sort of consultate, whatever.
Tyler
They just.
Ryan
He didn't have that. So my wife called the. Called the insurance company or the hospital, whatever, and she just, like, they just knocked that off right away. It's like, imagine like people who don't call in to.
Tyler
Or even look that close at the receipt.
Ryan
Correct.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
We would have. We would have been out another 400 bucks on it.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
So I wonder if they even checked if you did it or they just believed you. I'm going to have no idea. Call my next time I go to the doctor. By me, like, looks like you guys charged me for a visit here. I wasn't even there. And then just see what they do.
Mozzie
Yeah. Just get charged with fraud.
Tyler
That was. That wasn't me. Someone's impersonating me.
Mozzie
But, like, the thing is, like, I feel like with the insurance companies, getting upset never gets you what you want.
Tyler
I. I don't know. I've never really dealt with an insurance company this big.
Mozzie
I don't know. Is. It. Is. It's like, I feel like when you're at a restaurant and you get pissed at someone, it always ends badly for you. They're like, not going to whatever. But maybe insurance companies, you have to get mad at them in order for them to give in to you? I don't know.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
Are they allowed to hang?
Tyler
I.
Ryan
They're probably not even allowed to hang up on the phone. It's probably.
Jared
Unless you swear.
Ryan
It's probably like. Yeah, unless you swear them.
Tyler
Here, you mother bucko.
Ryan
Mother fresh stinker just bought them.
Mozzie
So you guys got any advice on maybe negotiation tactics to make sure I get the money that I deserve out of this situation?
Tyler
I mean, threats are always good.
Mozzie
You want me to threaten them?
Tyler
Yeah, but you. I don't. You have to threaten their life. You threaten their livelihood.
Mozzie
Do you want me to threaten the CEO's life of their company?
Tyler
No, no. There's a guy.
Ryan
There's a guy topic these days.
Mozzie
To be careful with that, Tyler.
Tyler
You don't.
Mozzie
You're going to end up on a list.
Tyler
You. There's a guy that does that.
Mozzie
So I think in recent.
Ryan
Not anymore.
Tyler
He's still alive.
Ryan
I know, but he.
Mozzie
I think in recent events, threatening an insurance company is going to probably end you up on a list.
Tyler
To be fair, that guy did not threaten anyone.
Jared
That's true.
Tyler
He skipped that step.
Mozzie
True. He. I usually skip that part, is what he said.
Jared
Yeah, exactly.
Ryan
I mean, really, the only, like, the only thing that I have experience with is Internet companies. So, like, if I call, like, the last Internet company I had was dog shit. So I call them like, hey, I'm just going to switch Internet providers. Because you guys, you're just. Yeah, what you say you're giving me, I just don't think you are. So I'm going to switch. And they're like, oh, actually, we're going to knock down your monthly payment, 20 bucks a month, and we're going to upgrade you to the higher speed. It's like, okay, sounds good. I'm in. And then I wait for it a little bit. I'm like, yeah, this definitely isn't faster, and I'm only saving 20 bucks a month. So. Yeah, I mean, the threat of changing insurance companies, it's about the only advice I got.
Mozzie
Yeah. It's just. They're so big that I just feel like it's gonna be like, okay, see you later.
Jared
How do you feel about litigation?
Mozzie
Oh, I absolutely am always trying to stay out of litigation. Okay.
Jared
I just ask it.
Tyler
That's tough.
Mozzie
Yeah. Especially, I mean. And honestly, thank God I didn't do this conversation in person with them. And they put the thing and said, you're okay with 580 bucks if you put a document from me. You guys know as I Have to. I'll just sign it.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
So thank go. This happened over the phone.
Tyler
They didn't do their research. They should have listened to the.
Jared
Yeah, do the work.
Mozzie
You know, maybe I should send, like, edible arrangement to their office. Maybe try the.
Tyler
Instead of threats, you go with bribes.
Mozzie
Yeah, well, no, it's not a bribe favor. It's a w. You know, it's a delicious but healthy treat.
Tyler
And if that doesn't work, send them cake pops. We. We cross out the healthy and go to unhealthy.
Mozzie
Yep. Send them a box of crumble cookies. No. No one can say no when they're chowing down on a crumble cookie.
Tyler
On a red velvee. Crumble cookie.
Mozzie
Crumble cookie is crazy.
Tyler
Unreal.
Mozzie
It's like the one place left in the earth that people have just decided that if I'm gonna eat a crumble cookie, I don't care what's in it. I know that I'm putting toxic things and, you know, 400 grams of sugar in my body, and I'm okay with it.
Tyler
Yeah, everyone's all worried about microplastics right now. I don't give a if it's microplastic sprinkles.
Mozzie
Whatever they're doing at crumble Cookie, dude, keep it up. I don't care if you have nuclear fallout in those things. I'm eating it.
Tyler
Hats off to you, Mr. Crumble.
Jared
When they come up with, like, good cookies, it's like they're dropping a new album.
Ryan
I'm hoping that. I'm hoping we get a little surprise on 20 this year. New crumble cookies.
Jared
That'd be tight.
Ryan
More so. Just looking out for my college buddies.
Tyler
But they changed their name for a day to chronic cookie.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. Kush cookies. I used to work with somebody who, like, they had to go buy. They had to go buy, like, crumble cookies or something for one of the distributors that we work with. There's three people that work at this distributor, and she bought him 15 crumble cookies. If you do the math, that's five crumble cookies per person.
Tyler
You're supposed to only eat a quarter of a cookie.
Ryan
And I think they even give you a little, like, quarter. Like a quarter cutter. So you can cut it in quarters.
Tyler
You gotta add that on. It's extra.
Ryan
15 or something.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
Well, then the microplastics getting off of that thing.
Mozzie
Maybe we should do the crumble challenge. We should see how many us for how many crumble cookies we each can eat.
Ryan
Holy.
Tyler
We have to be. They're very rich. So we have.
Mozzie
Yeah. I mean, there's. Anytime you're eating crumble cookie, there's only, like, five things people say. One is like, don't look up. How many calories are in these things? Make you want. Not want to eat them. What you just said. What did you say?
Tyler
They're rich. You have to schedule a tummy.
Mozzie
Oh, wow. That is rich. You know, it's just all of those things. Yeah, it's on a loop.
Jared
That's my lunch for today.
Mozzie
No.
Ryan
Okay, now let's. On the, like, kind of. Sorry, go ahead.
Mozzie
No, go ahead.
Ryan
Kind of like, in the same vein of, like, how many penguins could you take down? If you ask me how many crumble cookies I could eat in one sitting, I'd probably say, like, two and a half.
Mozzie
I could do two and a half.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
I mean, I.
Ryan
Maybe three.
Tyler
Your stomach will hurt, but it's worth it.
Mozzie
I mean, that's what happened to me last time. I. Because I only. You only ever happen when, like, you go over to someone's house for dinner and someone brings them or whatever, it shows up at work. I had probably. I had probably one and a half. I could. I. I told Anne. I was like. And I have to lay down. When we got home, I said, I have to lay down. You got to put the kid down for bed tonight. I have my. I have huge tummy.
Tyler
This is my monthly unscheduled tummy ache.
Mozzie
Yeah, this was. It was completely unscheduled.
Tyler
The last time Becca was pregnant, crumble cookie was her vice, and we were sucking down crumble cookies every two weeks.
Mozzie
Yeah, we could tell.
Tyler
Yeah. Thanks, Tyler.
Mozzie
You.
Jared
You probably brought that up.
Mozzie
Started to look like you could have fit into my old clothes, you know? So. Yeah, that's what's going on in my life. Just getting boned by the insurance company. I might do a little bone and back here. Coming up, once this new quote.
Tyler
You just said you were gonna send him an edible arrangement.
Mozzie
Yeah. And I just figured that sounds like a lot of legwork to figure out where their office is and getting it to the right person and all of that, so I think boning them is probably better.
Ryan
Yeah, well, it's more of a farewell gift than anything. The edible arrange.
Tyler
Sayonara. Here's some fruit.
Ryan
Yeah. Have you. Any of you guys ever had a burn barrel?
Tyler
Oh, yeah. As a kid, we used to burn our garbage.
Ryan
Same. And so I just got my own burn barrel a week ago. And burn barrels are the cats. Meow. Because, like, I'm just.
Mozzie
Well, let's do tell us about your burn barrel.
Ryan
Let's see. I don't know. Probably three and a half feet high.
Mozzie
Where did you get it, though? Like, the backstory here.
Ryan
Okay, so my. My grandpa on my mom's side lives out on a farm. Had one tucked way back, and he's got a bunch of them tucked way back in the trees. And so my dad from work went and got the burn barrel, brought it home, and then he opened the lid up, and he realizes that there's, like, a bunch of lard at the bottom. Because he works on, like, a. He. He has, like, an animal farm or whatever. So we're like, well, like, we can drill holes into it, but I'm gonna, like, all over the gravel driveway.
Jared
Flammable.
Ryan
It's like, okay, well, we don't want to do that. So we just didn't put any holes in the burn barrel yet. And we just put a. As anything that would burn, we put in there just to try and burn the lard off. And then once you have it. I had cats showing up at my.
Tyler
House.
Ryan
So I think I got another week of burning before I burned that.
Mozzie
Is that why you said the cat's meow?
Ryan
Kind of. Yeah. It all ties into itself.
Tyler
So there's a thing that you actually will do in. When you bear hunt is you get, like, a tin can, you fill it with lard, and you burn a charcoal brick underneath, and it attracts bears because it smells.
Mozzie
You're gonna have bears.
Tyler
So now you gotta watch out for cats and bears.
Mozzie
Not only the burn barrel attracting them, but they can smell the menstruation.
Ryan
I mean, it could. I mean, it just could have been a. It could have been an old bear bait.
Tyler
Could have been. Yeah.
Jared
And big cats. Mountain lions.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. I'd actually like to get them out. Lion out there. That'd be cool.
Mozzie
I don't.
Ryan
As long as no one's.
Tyler
They'll eat your kid.
Mozzie
I'm gonna say, like, unless you're sitting out there every day hunting, you don't want that.
Ryan
Well, I mean, they're. They're moving through. They ain't.
Jared
Yeah. You can always track them, too.
Tyler
I did a new story on a mountain mine in North Dakota that was just hoarding. It was killing deer for fun.
Ryan
Yeah. I had, like, 16 deer in its day or something.
Tyler
I did that story. I'm glad you saw it.
Ryan
You did that story?
Tyler
I did.
Ryan
Oh, yeah. That was kind of. That was cool. Thanks.
Mozzie
But, yeah, I killed Ryan. To give Tyler a compliment right there.
Jared
He had to look down.
Ryan
No Because I remember the story.
Mozzie
It was cool. Cover his mouth even. So that no one could actually say that.
Ryan
Sweet man.
Jared
Ventral quest.
Ryan
I feel like the burn barrel is something where you can kind of just like burn all life's problems away, you know, like you're sick of looking. You're sick of looking at no money in your bank account. You don't even open the letter from the bank. You just throw it in the burn barrel. It's like liberating. Talking to a buddy, you're like, yeah, I made my last car payment today. They're like, oh, you paid your car off? And it's like, no, I'm just not paying it anymore. I'm throwing the mail into the burn barrel. Just made the last car payment.
Mozzie
I think you want.
Ryan
So, yeah, that's kind of like. I have my new little hobby, I guess is now I got, you know, I got two. I got the pull out garbage inside and I got. I got. The front one is for all garbage and the back one is for burnable garbage.
Mozzie
Where's your recycling go?
Ryan
They don't have recycling out there, actually. So I'll just go straight into the garbage.
Mozzie
Well, no. So you should be still separating them and taking them into town, Ryan, is what you should be doing.
Tyler
That's what he meant. Wow. That's what he meant to say.
Jared
Separate the colors.
Mozzie
What's like the. What's been like the. The fun stuff you've been burning, like car batteries and like that.
Tyler
Tractor tires.
Jared
Alkaline batteries.
Ryan
Yeah. Old Vexilar battery. I figured I didn't work. Try to get a charge on. I couldn't do that through that.
Mozzie
Crazy colors those things give off. Yeah.
Ryan
And now. Now I'm seeing. I'm seeing all the. That the subcontractors left behind. So I'm just throwing all that in there. Sh. And.
Tyler
Well, you should put that in a box and return it to them.
Ryan
Well, it's been sitting under the snow all winter.
Tyler
That's there. They. They forgot it. So. So give it back to them.
Ryan
Yeah. And then what else? Yeah, old sheetrock pieces. Insulation stuck in the mud.
Mozzie
Can you burn insulation?
Tyler
You should not be burning insulation.
Ryan
I'm not burning insulation.
Mozzie
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
I don't buy into the microplastics thing.
Tyler
It's. There's fiberglass in there.
Ryan
I know.
Tyler
Okay.
Mozzie
I think. I think you're confusing the microplastics things with the. With the insulation. It's not the same way.
Jared
Different po.
Ryan
Yeah, I pretty much just anything I get my hands on, like to watch.
Jared
The world Burn like.
Ryan
And watch.
Mozzie
Yeah. He likes to watch the stuff in the world burn.
Ryan
Yeah. And now. Yeah. Yeah.
Mozzie
But, yeah, I am jealous. I. I think a. A burn pile in town is pretty frowned upon for where I'm at, so I'm living vicariously through you. I mean, I got a fire pit, I guess. What's the difference? Not much. The content, I think it depends on, like, you kind of are in a more private area where when you are burning car batteries and insulation and tractor tires.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
You're not gonna.
Tyler
You know, do you have.
Mozzie
It's kind of one of those don't ask, don't tell out there, right?
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Tyler
Do you have.
Ryan
It's a wild west out there.
Tyler
Do you have a separate barrel for the batteries in. Or they go get lumped in with the car payments.
Ryan
I. I don't want to have to burn lard off of another, so I just got smart. Yeah. I just got one barrel.
Jared
Ryan's the fire guy.
Mozzie
Fire guy.
Tyler
Hey, I'll inspect fire fest at Ryan's house.
Mozzie
I love that for you. You got. It's like, who knew that fire could just be another hobby?
Ryan
Yeah. Well, and I used to have a burn barrel when we were. When we were younger, and my parents would always make. Make us bring the burning garbage out there and said, I. I didn't like doing that. I was like, this is. I'm six games in a COD right now. I'm crushing. My KD is unreal. It's like, I gotta go out there and burn garbage. But now it's, you know, in my 30s. I'm like, hey, let's. That sucker's full, and that's coming outside with me.
Tyler
Flames, regardless of the source, are primal, so it's just fun to look at.
Ryan
Yeah. No 100. And, you know, I'm. I'm a primal male. Like, UFC shirt on, for Christ's sake.
Jared
So I was gonna say, I feel like it's a teenager phase. Like, burning. I think you're going through, like, a teenager phase.
Mozzie
Yeah, it's. It's a teenager phase, and it's like an older dad phase. It's like. It's like the meme where, like, two. Two of them are shaking hands. It's like angsty teenagers and dads.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
Burning, burning stuff.
Tyler
My one grandpa, he. The only time he posts on Facebook is just, what fire and what number of fire that is this summer. So he'll start. It'll be like, first one of the year, and then it'll be second one of the year two nights later and he'll get to like 56 in a summer.
Ryan
Good for him.
Tyler
He just loves burning.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Well, Miles. And since you can't have burn barrel, I'll swap my recycling with your burning stuff. You can recycle myself and I'll burn your stuff.
Mozzie
That sounds like a really, really good trade off.
Ryan
We can just swap a quick G G bag also.
Mozzie
Okay, here's a question. In the recycle bin, do you guys break down boxes or do you just throw them in there fully erect?
Tyler
I don't have a recycling bin at my house. I have to bring it to the center down the road and throw it in the separate big ass blue things. And you have to break the boxes down because they made the cardboard slit only 4 inches. So I can't shove, I can't just force it in there because I'd say.
Mozzie
About 25% of the time I'm like, yeah, I'll break the boxes down. But a lot of the time I'm just throwing them in there fully erect and then just like basically getting in the recycle bin and just shoving it down. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
It's like just, just jumping it.
Mozzie
And then once in a while you jam it in there so tight that like only the top half of the cardboard and comes out when they dump it into the thing.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
But you know, then you just gotta take a broom and like loosen it up a little for next time. You just don't jam it down as hard.
Jared
I get the tamper out.
Mozzie
And if you're wondering would it just take less time to break the boxes down, the answer is yes.
Ryan
But no Question is how many of those boxes are yours?
Mozzie
Very little. Yeah, a lot of Amazon, A lot of kids stuff for the kid coming in the mail.
Ryan
A lot of conditioner.
Tyler
Get him in there, make him break it down.
Mozzie
Yeah. Well, he's close. Yeah. I used to break baby's first box cutter.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
Is coming up soon.
Tyler
Yeah. By little tykes. Little tykes box cutter.
Jared
It's like bluey branded.
Ryan
Yeah. Peppa the pig.
Jared
Cute little knife.
Ryan
I used to break mine down up until the recycling it was half full and then they would just go in full. But if it like if I couldn't get the lid shut, I would just take like one of my like bumper plates for my gym and I just set it on top so it like eventually if you let it sit long. Yeah, yeah.
Mozzie
Gravity, gravity.
Ryan
So then when you take the bumper plate off the next day, then every the, the lid stays shut.
Jared
Is it kosher to wet it down or.
Ryan
No, that's a good question.
Tyler
I've never thought of that. I feel like that's got to be fine.
Ryan
It's going to dry out.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
Back into a cardboard.
Mozzie
Don't they wet it down when they get it anyway?
Jared
No idea.
Ryan
Don't they just throw it in with the garbage when they get it anyway?
Tyler
Well, here's what you could do if you don't want to wet it down. You could just burn it first and then throw the ashes in the recycling.
Ryan
That's true. You know, I went a step further than just breaking it down. I actually just burnt it.
Tyler
You broke it down.
Ryan
It's a good idea actually.
Mozzie
Yeah. Also, I think for me, depends on like, like if it, if I'm two days out from putting the recycling bin out, I'm like, I ain't breaking that down. I clearly have enough room in. But like day after I'm like, well, I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know how many shampoo bottles my wife's going to buy in the next two weeks. So I got to save room.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. The f. If the, if the recycling is completely empty, like I might throw the first box in, like completely just like put together still. Because I know that it's just going to cat. If I throw stuff in there, it just acts like a. Another recycling bin within the recycling bin.
Mozzie
You know, I also like to, with the Amazon boxes, you know, like the tape comes apart pretty easy. I love just taking my fist and just going. Yeah, right through it and then. But I only do if. If my wife stopped giving me a reaction of being like, really? That's how you got to do that? I'd. I would just do it normal. Yeah. Because I get a reaction, I just keep it going.
Tyler
So she's got no one to blame but herself.
Jared
It's like doing karate in the garage.
Mozzie
Yeah, I am doing karate in the garage. It's just not with wood.
Jared
Sort of cardboard's wood, ain't it?
Mozzie
It is, I think so. Yeah.
Tyler
I had some, some big news in my family this weekend.
Ryan
My kid.
Tyler
No, my old, my oldest kid got grounded for the first time.
Mozzie
Yeah. Baby's first grounding.
Tyler
Yep. Yep. Yeah, he's. He's not quite a year old. No. Is the, the five year old got grounded. I don't know exactly what he did, but he did enough at a restaurant to make his mom cry. Oh, so he got grounded for that.
Mozzie
But what is the grounding of a five year old look like?
Ryan
Thank you.
Tyler
It's pretty chill. Just absolutely no tv and you got to do chores with dad. And I found out that I'm a huge fan of grounding my kids. Kids. Because now he thinks picking up dog poop is the funnest game ever. That was one of the chores he had to do was walk around and pick up dog poop with a little rake and a dustpan bucket thing with a handle. And then the next day, he asked his mom if he could go do it again.
Ryan
Holy.
Mozzie
Did you just unlock. I think ground your kid early enough to where he thinks chores are fun. I probably didn't get. I didn't get grounded that much. My mom would always ground me and then just be like, okay, you can come out of your room now. Like, 10 minutes later, she'd fold. My mom was, you know, she's got a hair trigger, gets mad, and then just gets over it really fast. So, yeah, we got in and out of grounding pretty quick.
Ryan
We didn't. I didn't have grounding parents. I've never. I never got ground.
Tyler
No. I didn't really either. I got. Got spanked in belts.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Whatnot. Which is arguably worse than grounded. But I didn't know how to ground him because he's, like, five. Like, wow. It was just. I had to be like, you're in trouble, and you have a. Consequences to your actions. So it's no tv. And I had to, like, come up with chores. I was like, there's not a whole lot that I really trust you to be handling that needs to be done. Yeah. So dog poop was an easy answer, and he ends up. Turns out he loves it, so maybe he's gonna be a.
Mozzie
That was. I do remember my mom told me a story. I was young, I got grounded, and she said, you got to go to your room. And I looked at her and said, oh, that's great, because I love hanging out in my room.
Ryan
Reverse psychology.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
I love being ground.
Mozzie
Go ahead, ground me. It actually is like what I want to do. I don't even want to hang out out here.
Ryan
Yeah. I was hoping you'd ground me so that I could. I got away from.
Mozzie
Honestly, so haha jokes on you.
Ryan
You would do that?
Mozzie
I mean, that's what Tyler's kid did. That's what he's doing to you. You got to see right through this.
Tyler
I. I don't give a. If he's playing me if he keeps picking up the dog.
Mozzie
That is true. You're both playing each other.
Tyler
Yeah. Play me, buddy. That's fine.
Ryan
I know you. I know that you know what, what he did to your wife at the restaurant. Can you tell us?
Tyler
Yeah, as far as I know, because I wasn't there there. Why?
Ryan
If you were, I'm assuming that kid would have.
Tyler
He would have been better behaved. Yeah, he's more scared of me. Yes. Apparently he was just beating the out of his little brother and he was like. He just kept punching people. Not like super hard, but just walking around the table and punching all of the dinner guests at the restaurant.
Mozzie
And like people you didn't know?
Tyler
No. So they were like. It was my. My wife and kids, my grandparents. My grandparents. Friends. Yeah, A group of people. We all know them, but like, not people. He should be like, punching your little brother, that's one thing, right? Punching Karen, who's a friend of the family is a complete other thing. And so then I guess my wife took him, like, took him outside to have a talk with him. Be like, dude, you gotta chill the out. And he came back in. She thought he was gonna be good. And then he just started kicking people under the table.
Mozzie
I mean, you said no punch. Do you want him to do instructions? Unclear.
Tyler
Yeah. So she was just super overwhelmed because I wasn't there to help. She came home, was not happy with it all, and so I grounded him.
Mozzie
No, I feel like your kid was kind of like when a. When someone's dog like is jumping on everyone, you know?
Tyler
Yes.
Mozzie
It really doesn't affect you if a dog jumps up on you, but it's just kind of a small annoyance to have a five year old kid walking around and punching you in the handles. Yeah.
Tyler
And it's like embarrassing for the parent too, you know, like nobody's really getting hurt.
Mozzie
Right.
Tyler
But it's just like, I don't know, a respect thing. And it's like embarrassing for mom.
Mozzie
Well, what do you. So that's the grounding he tried. Let's all give some advice what we think he should have grounded him with. I think you should have taken away.
Tyler
His hands can cuff him.
Mozzie
Yeah. Just not handcuff. That sounds bad. Just tie him behind his back.
Tyler
Okay.
Mozzie
For like a week, you know, and that's one good grounding you could have done.
Ryan
And then. Yeah. Make him pick up dog with his hands type values.
Mozzie
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
Because then he won't like that.
Tyler
You have to kick it into the bucket, pal.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I. It actually, I think I would have resorted to the wooden spoon instead of grounding.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Or a spanking I've considered it. I feel like. I don't know.
Mozzie
You guys are spankers, huh?
Tyler
Yeah, I think so. I think it's got to be pretty serious, though.
Ryan
For sure. For sure. Like now, if he would have been punching him harder, like, kind of maliciously. Yeah, I think that calls for it. Yeah. I don't. I mean, you say, hey, like, no more eating for the next week. Like, no more starving. I'm kidding.
Tyler
No food or water, buddy. And don't even think about taking a shower. No personal hygiene either.
Ryan
I'm kidding. Don't. Don't do that.
Mozzie
You could do little. Little annoyances, right? Like, just take his pillow so he's like, his head. Neck's kind of cranked when he's laying there, you know, that's. It's minor annoyance.
Jared
Take away his toothbrush.
Ryan
Yeah, well, or making.
Tyler
That would annoy me more. His stank breath.
Ryan
Make him brush it. Yeah. Make his. Brush his teeth with the. The steel wool. The kitchen sink scrubber.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Or soap in the mouth.
Mozzie
That's. Yeah, that happened to me. Yeah. It sucks.
Tyler
Yeah. I got caught saying titties in daycare and my. The daycare layer.
Mozzie
The daycare lady washed her.
Tyler
The daycare lady made me take bite of the soap bar.
Mozzie
I was just talking back to my mom, and my mom went and put liquid soap in my mouth.
Ryan
I'm pretty sure I got the liquid, too.
Jared
Got the liquid.
Mozzie
Our parents still doing that. Like, I feel like that's crazy.
Ryan
I don't know. Like, what do you think is worse? Like, do you think, like, say, Tabasco or soap?
Tyler
Oh, that's. Dude. Soap sticks around for a long time, though.
Mozzie
It's also like, you're not supposed to ingest soap. You're supposed to ingest Tabasco.
Ryan
Correct?
Mozzie
Correct. Yeah.
Tyler
That's tough. Hey, good. Both are good.
Ryan
I think just knock it down a Cholula or something.
Jared
I'll try it tonight.
Mozzie
Okay.
Jared
Report back.
Ryan
All right.
Mozzie
Mouth off to your wife and then just be like, okay, well, if you're so mad at me, just wash my mouth out with Tabasco.
Jared
I totally hate that.
Ryan
Here's something that, like, then you do.
Mozzie
It and be like, thanks, honey, that was for research and this sucks.
Ryan
Yeah. You could make him eat a whole lemon, too.
Mozzie
Yeah, we gave my kid lemon and he just. He didn't make a face at all.
Ryan
Same.
Mozzie
Yeah. Crazy person.
Ryan
Yeah. Yep.
Tyler
So best thing about all this is it was the winter dog.
Mozzie
Oh, wow.
Tyler
So it was like a five gallon bucket. @ least we got one of those industrial, like, janitor Dust pans that have the handle. Filled that thing up five, six times.
Ryan
He's throwing the trees in.
Tyler
Into plastic bags brought over to Ryan's.
Mozzie
He's got a burn.
Tyler
Burned that I could have burnt.
Ryan
Yeah, I could. Then I could have kept the cats away or whatever.
Tyler
What are you up to this weekend? Right. I'm burning. Oh, cool. What kind of. Oh, I'm burning dog.
Mozzie
You're burning dog?
Ryan
Dog, dog.
Jared
It's a whole thing.
Ryan
You know what? I. There's. I've, like, seen something new come out of me when it comes to burning. Like, say I have, like, a piece of cardboard I like to light on fire and then just kind of hold it and like. Like waft it a little bit and.
Tyler
Watch it burn down.
Mozzie
Step one of the homicidal triad.
Ryan
And then toss it in.
Tyler
If Ryan starts skinning these cats, we.
Mozzie
Gotta stop skinning cats and pissing the bed. We know that. We need to lock him down.
Ryan
No, it's my neighbor's cat that keeps going. It's cats, plural. I keep coming around. I mean, they're fine. Whatever. I'd prefer if they ate the lard out of there, because then I could just get rid of it.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
So you guys keep incriminating me on stuff of burning batteries and skin and cats, and I'm not doing anything illegal.
Tyler
No, no. We're just saying that sounds like you are. Now, that's something. Someone doing something illegal.
Mozzie
Again with the whole hats in the garbage thing. I think everyone assumed that I was joking when I said you were burning car batteries. But now that you're getting defensive, we're kind of wondering if you want. No, I.
Ryan
It sounded liter. It sounded literal to me, and then I. I piled onto it for entertainment purposes. So. Yeah, I just want to make. Make clear I'm not doing anything illegal out there. Just. I'm just burning. You guys just leave me alone. Just in general. I don't know. There's contractors probably taking shits out there, so probably their.
Tyler
So.
Mozzie
Jared, anything going on with you?
Jared
It's more of an observation than anything. Thing. My wife was watching, like, a flipping show, and they're like, really rich flippers. And.
Mozzie
Is it the flip off?
Jared
It's the other one, actually.
Tyler
Love it or list it?
Jared
No, I don't remember it. It's the same group. Whatever.
Mozzie
But now they're divorced. Yeah, yeah, that's the flip off.
Jared
But they had a previous show.
Mozzie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now this is their new show. Yeah, my wife watched the same one.
Jared
That's funny.
Mozzie
I've I know what you're talking about. So continue on. Jared, your wife is watching the flip off.
Jared
Yeah. And like they're bringing over blueprints to look at at her house. And something I noticed is that women love sitting on the floor. Cuz if like if somebody brought, if another dude brought blueprints to your house, Miles, you wouldn't sit on the floor and look at the blueprints. You would get like a big table and look at the blueprints.
Mozzie
Correct? Yeah.
Ryan
I mean it's arms extended and looking over the top.
Mozzie
If I can't stand with my arms outside of shoulder width looking down at the blueprint standing, I. We're not looking at the blueprint.
Tyler
Okay.
Ryan
So shoulders are like kind of up by the ears a little bit as a male looking at blueprints. Yeah.
Tyler
So I 100 agree if it's a blueprint but for some reason if I'm putting together like a piece of IKEA furniture, I'm on the floor looking at the directions.
Jared
That's the exception.
Tyler
Why is it, why is it different though? Essentially I'm looking at the IKEA furniture's blueprints.
Jared
Yeah.
Mozzie
Yeah. I mean you're putting it together. But I agree, agree. No, I mean like girls will just elect to sit on the floor when they're like, like let's say you just like at family Christmas my sister in law will just be like there's an open spot on the couch and she'll just be like no, I'll just sit on the floor.
Tyler
She doesn't want to sit by you.
Ryan
She'll sit on the floor.
Mozzie
Not even me.
Ryan
And she'll lean up against an empty chair as a backrest.
Mozzie
Yeah. Yeah. Well you could have just, just.
Ryan
Yeah, right.
Jared
I just don't understand the psychology with it. Why women like sitting floor but dudes never do. Really?
Mozzie
Yeah. I mean the only time I, I do like to lay on the floor like I got to be fully prone if I'm on the floor. I, I don't know. It's like cuz sitting crisscross applesauce just hurts the knees in the back. And then eventually you got to like do the lean back on your hands and then your arms start to hurt after a while. I just.
Jared
That goes up out.
Mozzie
Yeah, it's a whole thing. And then I either need to be fully prone or in a chair.
Ryan
When's it, when's the last time that you guys had sat like with your legs like, like I can't.
Mozzie
On your knees? Let's see.
Ryan
No, I can't I can't. I can't even do this.
Mozzie
Let's see if you can do it.
Ryan
I. I can't do it because I tried to do it the other day.
Mozzie
That is. The other thing is, like, women will sit on the floor and they'll get their legs in positions that I didn't know was possible.
Jared
Yeah, the press pretzel.
Mozzie
It'll be a pretzel. It'll be one over the other. It'll be one leg in like this, all the way, sticking out behind them, and then the other one's straight out in front of them.
Tyler
I can think of worse talents.
Mozzie
Yeah, it's. It's. It's unbelievable.
Jared
I don't get it.
Mozzie
Brian, let's see you try and do the. The knee. I just try.
Ryan
I can't just try. Let me do it after. I'll do it after then.
Mozzie
Oh, I guess he's not a doer. He's a donter. I see what 75 hard turned them into.
Ryan
Yeah, well, you're the one. You're the one sitting on that. You're the one sitting outside.
Mozzie
I thought you were. I thought you were.
Ryan
Not when it comes to flexibility.
Mozzie
Let's see it.
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
I can't do it.
Mozzie
What's the point of being hard if you're not flexy as well?
Ryan
I don't need. I don't. The goal is not to be.
Mozzie
I thought you were swollen flexi.
Ryan
No, I'm not gonna do it.
Tyler
It is 75 hard, not 75 loose.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
Thank you, Tyler.
Mozzie
Let's just see it. How about after the break?
Tyler
I'll do it if this stops.
Mozzie
Come on, Ryan.
Ryan
I'm not doing it right now because I, I, I am telling you, I can't do it. I tried to do it three days ago.
Mozzie
Oh, I see. What? This is not. This isn't about him trying it. It said he's already tried it and failed. And now.
Tyler
Right.
Mozzie
So it's. I tell you, I opened already. I opened a new. The same way. A wound. I apologize.
Ryan
Yeah, it's not even a wound. A yoga with Adrian just told me to get in that position.
Tyler
I couldn't. So she does have some demanding asks every once in a while.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Did LeBron quit after he lost his first NBA Finals?
Mozzie
That is true.
Ryan
Yeah. The comparison there is just not.
Mozzie
Yeah, you gotta.
Tyler
Ryan doing a specific yoga pose and the pinnacle of basketball, me sitting, like, asking questions.
Ryan
Just if anything, I'm gonna get injured. It's gonna. No, I mean, I'm like five days away from being Hard as.
Mozzie
No, I mean, like, it' fine. If you can't do it, that's fine. You're just incapable of doing it.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
Okay. We kibosh that.
Mozzie
You just.
Ryan
He thought that would get to you.
Mozzie
Just don't have the ability to do it.
Ryan
You're right. Yeah.
Mozzie
You're a quitter and that's fine.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
You tried it once, you couldn't do it and so you quit. That's like totally acceptable. And I'm sure your kid won't grow up a quitter after seeing his dad like that.
Ryan
You haven't even started. So.
Mozzie
So.
Ryan
You know, there's people who try and people who just don't even try.
Mozzie
Yeah. So you guys want to take a break? Sure.
Jared
Let's do it.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
All right, guys. It looks like Jared uncovered a new game. Apparently this is an insane football game that they play in England. It is called Royal Shrub Tide football ball. Is that right? And it's basically a giant town wide brawl with a ball. Hundreds of people split into two teams and spend the whole day pushing this thing around. Sorry. Hundreds of people split into two teams and spend the whole day pushing this thing through streets, rivers and fields, trying to smash it against a giant rock three miles away to score. And the only real rule is, is no murder. Okay, this sounds awesome. Let's see it. Jared, you got a video?
Jared
Yes. It's basically just some B roll of it. That's a mar. Throwing it.
Mozzie
Pause it. Okay, so the description was not lying. This is an entire town in the streets. It looks like at a concert when they're like the beach balls are bouncing in the crowd. You this giant crowd that looks like a concert. And all of a sudden this ball flips up to the top and then you have rugby scrums and people in. In rivers just throwing it to each other.
Tyler
It's like the beach ball thing at a concert slowly devolving into a mosh pit at a concert.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. And it's like a. It's like a soccer ball.
Mozzie
Correct?
Ryan
About the size of a soccer ball.
Jared
Big ass soccer ball.
Mozzie
It looks like a. Like a mix between a soccer ball and a beach ball ball.
Ryan
What if they got captains for each team?
Tyler
They do, do they? Yeah. So I read a whole bunch about this thing. Like they'll, they'll. They'll elect one captain. It's usually somebody that has scored before because scoring is so hard. Yeah, yeah. And like there are no limits for how many people can be on each team. They're like split into teams based off of where they were born in this town. North side of the river or south side of the river. River. So it could end up being like a thousand guys versus 800.
Mozzie
And obviously you don't have uniforms.
Tyler
No.
Mozzie
How do you know who's on whose team? Is that part of the game is the person next to you could be deceiving you that they're on your team, but they're really not. Sabotage. Yeah.
Tyler
The. The team names are the upwards and the Downards. Ah.
Mozzie
All right. Play a little more. And it's just one ball.
Tyler
One ball. And the, the. The goal posts are three miles apart. That's how you score.
Ryan
Wow.
Mozzie
Okay. So they start in the middle of town. The mayor, whoever the throws the ball into the middle.
Tyler
So the. It's called royal now because Prince Charles, King Charles at one time attended and was the honorary thrower outer of the ball.
Mozzie
Yeah. I imagine though, like once the ball starts going with certain one way, it's tough to get going the other way.
Tyler
Well, like they'll play. So the, the. The time of play is they start in the morning at 10am and they'll go till 10pm and if a goal is scored before 5, then they'll. Then they'll put the ball back in play. But if the go goal is scored after 5pm and before 10pm Then it's just done for the day and they pick it back up again tomorrow. And it's three days straight of this.
Mozzie
My God. God. So I think the problem that if Americans try to do this, we would just start burning cars.
Tyler
We would break the one rule.
Mozzie
We would start looting local shops.
Ryan
Say like Target. Yeah.
Mozzie
The whole town's playing this dumb game. I'm just gonna slip into the. The TV store and steal a few Xboxes.
Ryan
Well, so it's like sir, the ball's two miles away. What are you doing? Why are you breaking free?
Tyler
Target stories stores prep for exactly that. They all the stores in this three mile strength board up their windows and bar all the doors.
Mozzie
Okay.
Tyler
All right.
Mozzie
It's. I mean it's a little bit. It's feeling a little purge like very on. Yeah.
Tyler
Yep.
Ryan
Huh.
Mozzie
It also, I mean there's got to be massive injuries for sure.
Tyler
Someone's got to have been trampled to death before.
Mozzie
All of the local hospitals are just licking their chops and the insurance companies are distressed.
Tyler
Ready to quote people. Yeah.
Ryan
Each one of these. These guys get 500 bucks.
Mozzie
No.
Ryan
Not even trees.
Tyler
You waive all rights by competing in Shrub Tide.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
A little different name.
Mozzie
Shrub Tide. I like that. Well, why don't we do a company.
Tyler
Shrub tide, get a three mile course.
Mozzie
Yeah. And it's just 3v3. Imagine.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Mozzie
It's basically who can run three miles the fast. Correct.
Ryan
I, I, I think it's more so just like who can get separation of like a couple hundred yards. Then you're, you're, you're in the clear. You can start walking, take up breaks, start running again. Sorry, what? You know, it's just an open field. Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
It'd be so annoying on a, on a deep bomb. You connect to someone on a deep bomb and then you just gotta, gotta run three miles.
Jared
It's winnier than.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Run it all the way out. Yeah. Someone wears like their, yeah like miles. Got nice boots on. Whatever. I just take them right through the mud.
Mozzie
All right, let's play it.
Jared
They're the, yeah. The water.
Ryan
How do they even, how do they.
Mozzie
Know who's on team?
Tyler
They're just throwing it in the correct direction.
Ryan
Buddies. I guess now we got some separation.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. So that they have to smack that goal three that, that stone pillar three times to score a goal.
Ryan
Those have got to be some awesome bragging rights though.
Tyler
Oh yeah.
Ryan
Your side wins this game. I mean what, they do it once a year?
Tyler
Yeah, once a year.
Ryan
Probably around like the fourth of July, Independence Day.
Tyler
They do do it on some special.
Jared
It's good right?
Ryan
Thank you.
Mozzie
Yeah. Like I, my brain goes towards. There's got to be some sort of strategy. But after watching that, I think there is no strategy. I think it's just win at all costs.
Tyler
Throw.
Mozzie
As long as you don't murder anyone.
Tyler
Yeah. Throw it the correct direction and hope one of your guys gets it.
Ryan
Yeah. I think maybe getting up into a tree. Tree. And just like having people like, I don't know, I guess other people are gonna climb the tree after you but. You guys ever made a potato gun before?
Tyler
I've never made one. I've used one.
Ryan
Yeah, you can make just an oversized potato gun.
Tyler
Hey, that the only one rule.
Ryan
Yeah. The only rule is like, like literally.
Mozzie
A ball turret that you just like different stations and. Yeah. Get it up on the roof, launch it 500 more yards.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Filling that thing with spray or a hairspray, waiting for the ball to get to you.
Ryan
Or you could have one of those big ass slingshots where two guys like fully extended.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Or holding it, another guy's pulling it back and just absolutely launching it in their direction.
Jared
Or smoke some guy's face right in front of it.
Tyler
Correct.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
As long as he doesn't die. Yeah.
Ryan
That's risky, though, because he could.
Mozzie
You know, you imagine going home and telling your wife that I'm gonna go participate in a game, and then she says, what game? You're like, well, actually, the whole town's involved. Yeah, sure. So what are the rules? There are no rules. Just, you can't murder anyone.
Jared
Week.
Mozzie
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's like, how long you be gone? A couple hours. Actually, three days. Yeah. So see you later.
Ryan
I am. Where you going to sleep? I don't know. On the grass.
Mozzie
Jesus. She was already skeptical on if you actually go hunting when you hunt or you just sit around and drink. And now you're saying you're going to go play a game for three days with the entire town. Yeah.
Ryan
Okay. Yeah, not gonna happen.
Jared
Totally bot.
Tyler
Just show her this podcast. Then she'll believe you.
Ryan
Yeah, that's. It Makes me curious as, like, what other. Like this goes on and.
Mozzie
Yeah, why don't we have. Why don't we have Cool like that in the United States?
Tyler
I don't know. Like, there was a show on Netflix a couple years ago called Weirdest Sports, and this didn't even make it. And none of the sports were in the United States.
Mozzie
Now, this is a game. Game.
Tyler
I would call it a sport.
Mozzie
It's.
Tyler
It's football.
Mozzie
But, like, everyone else has got, like, drinking songs that the entire country knows, and you could just break out to them in a pub somewhere. They got games like this. What do we have?
Ryan
We got Wagon Wheel.
Mozzie
Rock Me Mama Like a Wagon Wheel.
Jared
Take no country roads.
Mozzie
Yeah, that's true. I guess we do have. Man, I guess we do have college football, baby. Hell, yeah.
Tyler
How many Super Bowls does England won?
Mozzie
Zero. Yeah, I guess we do have football. Yeah, the real football. American football. Not even America. It's just football.
Tyler
Not the Shrub. Tied.
Jared
We have rules. Yeah, rules rule.
Mozzie
Well, I. Yeah, we'll. We'll find something.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
Yeah. What do we got? Pickleball. Damn it.
Tyler
We invented basketball, didn't we? No, Naismith was Canadian. Invented in America, though.
Mozzie
Yeah. It's ours. Let us have it.
Tyler
Baseball. That was us.
Jared
Slam ball. We have slam ball.
Tyler
Hell yeah, we do.
Mozzie
Yeah, we do. We do. Yes, we do.
Jared

Mozzie
We also have American Gladiator, Harlem Globetrotters.
Tyler
American Ninja Warrior.
Ryan
Family Feud.
Tyler
That was us. That was us.
Ryan

Tyler

Mozzie
Family shoes on there.
Tyler
Who wants to be a millionaire?
Mozzie
Let's be a millionaire. Great game.
Tyler

Mozzie

Tyler
Yes.
Mozzie
It's.
Tyler
That happens in Fiji. It's American.
Jared
We have the office.
Mozzie
We have the office.
Ryan
Yeah. And we got Beast Games too.
Tyler
Yeah. Was it the office.
Ryan
Beast Games is worldwide, which is just.
Mozzie
A better version of Squid Games anyway, so. Suck it, Korea.
Ryan
Yeah. Season two was even that.
Mozzie
Good.
Ryan
Good.
Mozzie
Yeah. I mean, can you imagine us going particip? Well, that's the other question. Do they allow outsiders? Like, could we go and participate in this?
Tyler
I'm not 100% sure because I feel.
Mozzie
Like if us four showed up, it would take them five seconds to be like, you can't play this game. Yeah.
Ryan
I mean, we'd say one word, flew.
Mozzie
All the way, then just to not play.
Ryan
Come on, governor.
Tyler
Yeah, I'm an up it.
Mozzie
Yeah, we could ham. We could ham it up a little bit.
Jared
Another shrimp on the bob.
Tyler
Ah, he's legit. Yeah, he's a downer for sure.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
You know, I thought you were American for a sec, but I have no doubt. Welcome to the game. Welcome to the Shrub Tide.
Jared
I totally bought it.
Mozzie
I mean, the Royal Shrub Tide sounds like something out of the Hunger Games.
Jared
It does with you or like some urban dictionary.
Mozzie
Yeah, yeah, Urban dictionary.
Ryan
The Royal Shrub Tide sounds like the old Alaskan pipeline.
Mozzie
Yeah. It's like, I don't think. I don't think there's a lot of places in America where you could get the entire town in on doing something dumb like this.
Tyler
Right.
Mozzie
You know what I mean? I don't know what the deal is with that, but everyone would have some sort of. It would turn into a PTO meeting. You know? I mean. Well, you see, we. We can't go in this area because of this. And what happens if someone were to hurt their ear wrinkle? It's like, then don't play.
Tyler
I think let's line it up.
Mozzie
Let's throw the ball and let let our game do the talking.
Tyler
The closest thing I can think of is there's this thing in Alaska where once a year they all get together and they just launch cars off this.
Mozzie
Oh, yeah, yeah, I've seen that. That is great.
Tyler
Like, it's completely different things, but also sort of the same vibe of they're doing reckless.
Mozzie
We've. It's every guy's dream. Dream. I don't know about you guys, but did you guys ever used to ghost ride your. Your bike growing up?
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Mozzie
Where you go pedaling real fast and then you just like jump off your bike and let it go and see how far it would Go on its own. It's the same thing.
Tyler
I'd ghost right into my sister. I wasn't on it. I didn't do it.
Mozzie
Yeah, you never ghost riding your bike before.
Ryan
I ghost rid of my dirt bike on accident one time. Broke the clutch, tried to wheelie, slipped out under me.
Mozzie
Yeah. Don't snap the clutch.
Tyler
Pulled my groin kickball next day.
Mozzie
Yeah, it's a terrible week. Terrible week for you. Yeah. I mean, we got, we have, like, in gym class, those little scooters that everyone breaks their fingers on.
Ryan
Mission possible.
Mozzie
Good game. Yeah, let's play Star wars on that. Remember I tell you about that?
Ryan
Yeah, you did.
Mozzie
Everyone's got a noodle as a lightsaber.
Ryan
Yep. Yeah, we just play Mission Impossible. I don't know why they call it that, but yeah.
Mozzie
And basically it is inverse. I mean, let's not give him too much credit. Yeah. Okay. The English people here, hey, let's not give it to. This is reverse capture the flag. So don't act like you just came up with this brand new thing, okay? Instead of going to the other person's and bringing it back, back, you're just going from the middle and going the other way. Okay, so it's.
Tyler
Who invented capture the flag?
Mozzie
I don't know.
Jared
Totally.
Mozzie
Hopefully not them Romans. I don't know why.
Jared
Seems like something they do.
Mozzie
Some European. No, I like this game. I'd like to watch more videos.
Jared
I do have one more video. It's similar to this event. Event.
Tyler
Capture the flag is German.
Mozzie
Oh, really?
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
I, I don't know if I could play this on YouTube, so I'll just throw it in the description, but it's a very similar game to what we just saw.
Mozzie
Oh, this is another game.
Jared
It's very similar to what we watched.
Ryan
Oh, my God, that guy.
Mozzie
Oh, my God. Guy on top, right?
Tyler
Oh, what is happening?
Mozzie
Oh, yeah.
Tyler
Oh, we got punches being thrown.
Ryan
Holy sh.
Mozzie
Are they, Are they even playing a game?
Ryan
I, I, I think the game is just like beat the out of the guy in the grave.
Jared
Gu of his eyes.
Ryan
I've got, I got. Ouch.
Mozzie
Oh, that guy ripped his pants right in the crotch. It's a day ruiner. What's the game? That guy's got gloves on.
Ryan
Oh, someone threw a beer into the crowd. That guy's got a barbed wire tattoo.
Tyler
That's a big boy.
Mozzie
What is the guy in the vest gonna do? Is he the official? Yeah, what is he gonna do?
Jared
Girl scrambling for that ball.
Tyler
There's a ball involved.
Mozzie
We haven't seen lady get out of this. Trapped.
Tyler
That is a huge ball.
Mozzie
What, so it was just a scrum for the ball?
Tyler
Is that a different thing?
Jared
Yeah, it's similar to that Shrava Tide thing.
Tyler
Huh.
Jared
They're trying to advance the ball to one other side of the city and.
Ryan
Guys are skeeting, getting the beat out of them.
Mozzie
See that? I. I would. I think I'd love the idea of signing up for that. And then you take one blind side hit to the back of the head by a guy who comes flying in on top of the crowd. Then you're like, yeah, I think I'll play Shrub Tide instead. Yeah.
Ryan
I'd be the guy in the back. Be like, yeah, get him. Hammer him in the head. Yeah, we got you.
Mozzie
That guy said some about you. What? I would want to be the guy launching people on top. So I'd be on the edge of the crowd going like this. And then people would run and I would.
Tyler
Circus performer.
Ryan
Yeah. Hey, my kids love swimming in the pool. We. I just launch them all day, every day.
Tyler
I'm good.
Ryan
I launch you up into this crowd.
Mozzie
Yeah. You're walking through. You're walking up to the event. You're just carrying a mini trampoline. What's that for? Like, you just. Just wait.
Ryan
I'm gonna suffocate somebody with it.
Tyler
I think the scariest part of all that it would just be like tripping.
Mozzie
Oh.
Tyler
And then you've got that entire scrum on top of you, hoping you don't get your neck trampled.
Mozzie
You gotta be careful. Otherwise it's gonna turn into a black Friday circa2012.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Looking for Nintendo NBA live 2012 just came out.
Mozzie
Yeah. And you're. You're in line at Walmart and you're just trying not to get trampled.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
So you know what we have this Friday. You Americans have games like this. It just is called Black Friday.
Tyler
Hell yeah.
Mozzie
When the new Nintendo Wii drops. So don't. Don't act like we're this uncultured group of people, okay? Have you ever seen two women beat the hell out of each other for a red Stanley mug? You tell me what's a sport and not a sport.
Jared
It's all the same.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Tyler
You have a ball. We have a mug.
Mozzie
Mug and electronics.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
Absolute deals to be stolen and stealing. Yeah.
Ryan
Free teddy bears at the door for the first hundred. You imagine number 100 and 101 going at it to get that free teddy bear.
Mozzie
Was that a deal that people were.
Ryan
Doing the one time I went Black Friday shop and this is probably 15 years ago. Store I went to is getting giving out free like Christmas teddy bears, and we just happened to get one.
Mozzie
Nice. How early were you there?
Ryan
Probably 5:30.
Mozzie
He's like, they did not have a lot of traffic. It was like two in the afternoon.
Ryan
There was. We definitely didn't wait in line. We just walked in at like 5:30. They must have ordered too many. It must have been a tong fiasco of 2006 or something. Whatever.
Tyler
The Teddy fiasco.
Mozzie
Oh, that's funny.
Jared
The bear market.
Mozzie
I came across something on Twitter that I'd like to share with you guys.
Ryan
What do you got?
Mozzie
So I don't know if you guys know who the fat electrician is.
Tyler
Yeah. Yep. He's funny.
Mozzie
He's a content guy. He tweeted out, said, I hate Airbnb. It started as a cool way to earn extra income, spare room, save money, all this other stuff. Stuff. But it quickly turned into a system that prices young people out of housing markets. So invest. It's a whole housing market thing. But basically, he shared a checkout. Instructions for an Airbnb. This is what's on the list. Checkout is at 11am that's fine. Right? Start dishwasher, no dishes left in the sink. Leave used towels in a pot pile. Strip beds of used linens. Tidy up for Christ's sake. Bring all trash to the dumpster. All is in, all caps. Close and lock all doors and windows. Turn heat down to 65 in winter. Leave ACS on in summer and return key fobs to the lockbox. What the. Where are we at in society?
Ryan
Takes a army to get that list done. I mean, that. That list at home would take me half a day.
Mozzie
I know.
Ryan
I gotta be out by 11.
Tyler
Yeah. Wake up early. You got plenty.
Ryan
I'm ship face the night before an Airbnb. You think I'm getting up by 10?
Jared
I haven't packed my suitcase yet.
Ryan
Yeah, your wife's like, oh, this takes you half a day at home, but you can get it done in a half hour.
Mozzie
Now you're somewhere else.
Ryan
Now you're in trouble.
Mozzie
Hey, Airbnbs are great because not only do you get to pay more, you get to do all your own chores. It's awesome. Like what? Whoever invented a place that you go and stay there for an affordable rate and they, like, change out your sheets and clean your bathroom and take out all your garbage for you is an absolute idiot. That sounds terrible.
Ryan
Let alone make breakfast for you in the morning.
Mozzie
Oh, yeah. Can you imagine having free breakfast set out oh, you should have to get somewhere, have to do a bunch of chores, then go to the grocery store, get your food and cook it yourself. That's what I believe in.
Jared
Mm.
Mozzie
You know, well, the fact that sometimes.
Ryan
They'Ll even like book a ride for you to go somewhere is.
Mozzie
Yeah. Yeah. I wanna, I wanna have to Uber everywhere from my Airbnb. I want to take a shuttle to the airport.
Jared
Yeah.
Mozzie
Ride in a car with other people. Ooh.
Ryan
Yeah. I don't want to be able to access every single door in the place that I'm staying in. Well, and if you lock some up, for Christ's sakes.
Tyler
And if you have some issues, it would be super, super annoying to have somebody downstairs on call 247 to assist you.
Mozzie
Like, God forbid, like the hot water isn't working.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
That would suck to have literally a personal person to wait on your needs.
Tyler
Right. Cuz I would just want to do that myself. Cuz I'm paying to be there.
Mozzie
Correct. Paying more than what you would at a hotel.
Ryan
Well, it's like when you're going to go stay somewhere too. You don't like, you're trying to get away from technology. You don't want any channels on the tv. You just want a bunch of like old movies from 2005.
Mozzie
Yeah. You want, you want to, you want to have to log into your own Netflix password correct before and then forget to sign out and so then other people can freeload off you afterward.
Tyler
That's what you want and absolutely. I really want someone to up my. Continue watching.
Mozzie
Yeah. Really want them to up all my recommendations on my Netflix or just watch Roku City.
Tyler
And I just want to go home and just, and just play the finger pointing game with my wife on who was watching this. Weird.
Ryan
Yeah, not me.
Mozzie
Yeah. Flip off.
Ryan
What the hell. Yeah. It's a crazy world that we're living in.
Jared
After I travel all day, I want like a fun scavenger hunt of like how to unlock the door and where the key is.
Mozzie
Correct. I don't want the key. And I want to have to call the person that I'm renting this from. Like four times that happened to us in Nashville, remember that we like couldn't get in.
Tyler
Oh, yeah, yeah. When we stayed in, like there was like a house. Yeah, yeah.
Mozzie
We stay there, we're like, we couldn't get in. And like, I understand that happens at hotels. Right. Like your key doesn't work but you go down. Never has you gotten a second key and it not work.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
Why? Like sometimes just fun to not get the address to where you're staying until, like, the minute before you're about to hop.
Mozzie
That is true.
Ryan
Start driving. Airport or wherever.
Jared
The fun game.
Ryan
Yeah, it's a fun game. Just, like, start driving around just. And look for the place you're staying at based off the pictures online. Like, okay, there's a big pine behind in back, left corner of the backyard yard. There's some pines over there. Oh, let's head that way.
Mozzie
Well, maybe it's an old photo. Maybe those pines grew taller, so that's maybe why they look different. That's got to be the house, right?
Jared
The pines are cut down.
Mozzie
It's like, you can't. You can't park in the driveway. You got, like, park on the street, whatever. But, you know, to justify the larger price, they do leave out, like, a. A few board games for you and the boys to play.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
So that is nice. You can't get that at a hotel.
Tyler
And a logbook to document your experience.
Mozzie
Yeah. Because that's what it is, is an experience. Yeah. An experience of doing household chores.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
I like reading about the history, too, of the area in General General Custer, you know, whoever used to roam the land back in the day.
Jared
I like the bright neon signs that say, like, it's time to drink.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Jared
Sleep on the couch.
Ryan
Yeah. Even though it says, like, in. No bachelor parties or anything. No partying.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
But yeah, yeah, yeah. It' Drink, drink.
Jared
Fun starts here.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
This actually happened at a Airbnb I went to for a bachelor party. We cleaned the. Out of the house, and then we had a whole bunch of.
Mozzie
How much did you guys have?
Tyler
It was a younger Tyler bachelor party.
Ryan
Over to my house. So we.
Tyler
We cleaned it really nice, and then we had a whole bunch of, like, unused liquor that we're like, we shouldn't throw this away. We should leave it for the next person. And we. So we tidy it up, left it in a nice, neat pile on the counter, and they charged us 200 bucks for leaving it all.
Mozzie
I mean, you left it. You should have thrown it away.
Tyler
We just.
Ryan
I think it's because you didn't put it on top of the cabinets. We lit.
Tyler
We thought. We thought we were doing something nice. Like, some of the bottles weren't even open, and we're just like, all right. They'll. They'll be appreciative of this. The next. The next people that stay here will love the free booze.
Mozzie
You guys, this is a side note, but when you guys buy alcohol for an event. Event. Do you Always overdo it.
Tyler
Every single time.
Ryan
I act like I'm going to, like going to a concert and providing everyone with booze there.
Jared
It's like a Tuesday.
Mozzie
They're like, we'll go hunting. And I'm like, I got 2:30 racks. I gotta handle a Windsor, you know, I got this net and then I go and I have like a quarter of the Windsor and like one case of beer.
Ryan
Yeah. Because like six.
Mozzie
Because you end up going to a bar and drinking there. Correct. You act like you're only drinking at this one spot lot.
Tyler
Right.
Mozzie
And then you're like, God, I got.
Tyler
Two friends coming over. I should buy three bottles of liquor in a case. Just in case.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Tyler
And it'll sit in my fridge for the next six months.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Jared
To be fair, though, running out of.
Mozzie
Beer or alcohol, that is, that's what I'm saying. You can't show up with too little.
Jared
Yeah.
Mozzie
You know, because one, then you're gonna get. People are gonna talk. And then two, if you actually do run out, it's like, that's a nightmare scenario.
Tyler
Well, it's like, even as you're like, yes, you're, you're going somewhere, you want to bring booze, but the host does the same thing. We're like, what if they don't bring booze? They're gonna. But you can't plan for that. What if they show up without booze?
Ryan
You also can't plan for the next Project X movie.
Tyler
That's true.
Ryan
Like, you never know when Project X is gonna hit you.
Mozzie
That is true. It's like, what if suddenly we all can do a case a day and be fine, you know, and be able to wake up the next day and do it again? Right. Like, so, hunting trip. That's two full days of hunting. Two cases of beer. You're like, what if after we're done hunting from, you know, 4:00pm on, I put 30 beers down? What if this is the time I put on the clinic and then I look like a doofus because I only brought one case of beer. Beer. Like, ah.
Tyler
Because there's no chance. My relatives are also bringing two cases.
Mozzie
There's no way that my family is going to borrow me some beer if I need to.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
And not only do I need to drink 30 beers between 4pm and on, I also need to drink beers that I bought at the bar when we go there for a few hours. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
So I, I this, you think this should be enough? It's like the Michael Scott for the Christmas party. And he goes, well, do you think this is enough to get 20 people drunk? He's like 15 bottles of vodka. Yeah, that is me going on any. Going to any event or a hunting trip.
Ryan
Sounds like our Christmas party three years ago.
Jared
Oh yeah.
Tyler
People pre gaming a party with free booze.
Ryan
That was insane. Christmas party or a few pulling over throwing up. People pissing pants, laying in the shower till 6am.
Mozzie
Was that the good old days?
Tyler
It might have been. I hijacked.
Mozzie
I wish you knew it was the good old days. When before you left.
Tyler
Somehow talked the bar owner into setting up karaoke for me.
Mozzie
Oh yeah.
Tyler
Private karaoke. Just me and Miles's cousin.
Ryan
Yeah. Nothing better than pissing out on the patio in negative 20 degree weather.
Mozzie
That was bad. That was bad. That was the last time we did an open bar as a company. Yeah, I think what the next year was just beer.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Yep. Beer for like X amount of time, I think.
Mozzie
And then I. Then I got drunk enough, I was like, yeah, it's just.
Tyler
Well, yeah.
Ryan
Oh yeah.
Tyler
Because we like rented a party room and it's like a minimum bill and we're like, we gotta get to this bill.
Mozzie
Oh yeah. We're gonna spend it anyways.
Ryan
Oh yeah. Yeah. Forgot about that.
Mozzie
Yeah, it was good. It's good time. Yeah. O. You guys won't believe this.
Ryan
What?
Mozzie
I was at my parents house today shooting a video.
Tyler
I. I was there. I remember.
Mozzie
Yeah. So when I went to the bathroom, I stumbled upon my dad's diary.
Tyler
Oh, wow.
Ryan
No.
Mozzie
No way.
Ryan
Really?
Mozzie
Yeah. So I took some photos of it. You guys. You guys mind if I read it a little?
Tyler
No, not at all. No. Please.
Mozzie
You sure?
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
Okay. This is my dad's diary. I don't know. It says. Okay, so this is March 23, 2020. Dear Diary, I experienced something weird today when my kids were over for brunch. I had a strange feeling inside my chest that I never felt before. Before I took a baby aspirin, but it didn't help. I wonder if I have afib. Sharon wants me to go to the doctor, but I don't know. Told her I would schedule it next week. Sincerely, very confused dad. Xoxo. So the.
Ryan
Has he ever hugged and kissed you at the same time?
Mozzie
And also he signs it. Dad, it's kind of weird, you know.
Tyler
I. I don't want to. I don't want to jump to conclusions here, but was he feeling maybe a.
Mozzie
Well, hold on, Tyler. I have more. Hold on.
Tyler
I didn't know you read the whole thing.
Mozzie
Oh, yeah, no, I got a few more Entries here. So then he must. Because that was when concrete season started up again. So then he didn't put another diary entry in until September 18, 2022.
Tyler
Got you. He's busy.
Mozzie
Says Dear Diary, cleaned out the garage today by myself. It was the best day I've ever had. Also yesterday grandchild was born. With regards, dad. Xoxo.
Tyler
So I like that he's. I like that he's signing his diary entries even though it's to himself. With regards.
Mozzie
Yeah, I'm, I am just the messenger here. This is what I found. And then I had a rough couple. Three years. I don't know, maybe good three years. This was actually just last week, this most recent one. So we Fast forward to March 7, 2025. Dear diary. Finally got around to going to the doctor today. He examined me in places no other man should touch. Another man. I wonder if he bats for the other team. He said I don't have afib, but instead I may be experiencing something that he called love. Currently looking for a second opinion. Even more confused. Dad. Xoxo. P.S. i'm not allowed back at the doctor's office. Apparently calling an an MD A gets you banned. This generation has gone to. And that's, that's what I found. I don't, I, I shocked as you guys.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
You didn't even know that he, he wrote a diary?
Mozzie
No, I had no idea. I just uncovered it. I don't think he's crazy that he signs it dad. Xoxo.
Tyler
Yeah, you better hope he doesn't listen to the pod because I don't think he would like you reading his.
Mozzie
That's true. Yeah. Now he probably knows how Anne Frank feels.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Well, that's why. Probably why he signed it dad, not his actual name because, you know.
Tyler
Yep.
Ryan
They can't trace it back to There's.
Tyler
Yeah, there's lots of dads in the world, but Yeah.
Mozzie
I didn't know he was such an avid diary guy, you know, three entries in five years.
Jared
That is a lot.
Ryan
Well, the first one mark, we say March 24, 2020.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Ryan
That was a couple weeks after the world shut down. So it could have the afib could have been just from all that.
Mozzie
Well, the doc said he didn't have afib. Oh.
Tyler
Oh.
Ryan
It's just, it just.
Mozzie
Yeah, I mean he would have found out sooner, but it took him five years to go to the doctor. Sure.
Ryan
Ye, I, I. You know, I tried to get a dermatologist one time and they said we can book you two years out. So it could have Been the same situation with an MD doctor.
Mozzie
Yeah. So thanks for letting me read that, guys. I just wanted to share that with you.
Tyler
It's weird that you had something to read, because I was. I have.
Jared
Oh.
Tyler
So we were talking a month or two ago about giving our kids the talk.
Mozzie
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah, right. It's a difficult thing to do. And I've been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss books to my kids, so I thought that I would write the Talk Talk as if it was a Dr. Seuss book. Do you guys mind if I read it?
Mozzie
Oh, no. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah.
Tyler
Come here, my dear children Sit down and sit tight it's time for a chat we'll do this just right A talk full of wisdom A talk full of cheer A talk that will make me wish I weren't here now, boys, there are birds and yes, there are bees and when two grown ups love well, things are breeze they hug, they smooch and they do the do and sometimes, just sometimes a baby pops through now, babies are cute, yes, that part is true but listen up close I've got news for you they scream and they shout they cry all night long they smell kind of funny Their diapers are strong they wiggle, they wobble they spit up oh, gee and worst of all they belong to thee and speaking of wisdom now hear this, please if you must be romantic then do it with ease there's something called protection yes, it's a pain but trust me, my children it's worth the refrain sure, buying it's awkward a hassle, a chore but it's way less embarrassing than a crying kid's roar so grab it, don't grumble don't shrug or resist or one day you'll wish that it had made your list so think with your brain and not just your heart and make good decisions right from the start for love is quite grand and romance is sweet sweet But a baby is a gift that comes with no receipt and with that, my poetic and with that, my dear children, I bid you adieu Dad's feeling woozy I must take a snooze I've told you the tale I've given my spiel now let's never discuss this do we have a deal?
Mozzie
Wow. That was. That was great.
Ryan
That was good.
Tyler
Thank you. Thank you.
Mozzie
Very good. Did Chatgpt write that?
Tyler
A little bit. I wrote the bones of it myself. And there are some parts that just weren't working. I was like, make this work for me.
Mozzie
You did. You did. Nail that now if I was your child and I got in the talk, I would probably be even more confused.
Tyler
Yeah. I think I knew there wasn't enough.
Mozzie
Discussion about, you know, where the clitoris is. You know, I don't know what happens when you penetrate. How many times should you penetrate in one session?
Ryan
You know, what are we talking? Yeah. What are we talking? Fast.
Tyler
That could be part two.
Mozzie
Yeah, that's like.
Jared
Yeah.
Mozzie
When they're first dabbling, and then it's. Yeah. That was good, Tyler.
Ryan
Nice.
Tyler
Thank you. Thank you.
Ryan
Yeah. I feel like the more books that. That I read, I. I've kind of become like a. A children's book connoisseur. But there's a. To me, there's just not a lot out there that are teaching kids, like, valuable lessons than the things that they should actually be teaching them. So, like, as a dad, I feel like. I think it'd be kind of cool if I wrote a book trying to teach my kids something that I think is. Is important in life.
Mozzie
Oh, so you guys both wrote children's books today? I didn't know you guys were such children's books writers. Wow.
Ryan
Yeah, well, we read, like, 18 of them a night.
Tyler
I know.
Mozzie
Hey. Wow. I just. I didn't know we had writers. Authors in the group. Okay.
Ryan
I mean, it's like a rough draft, but I'll share it with you guys if you want me to.
Tyler
I don't mind if you read it.
Ryan
Okay. Yeah. Short and sweet.
Mozzie
Yeah. I think I'd like it if you asked if I mind if you.
Ryan
Do you mind?
Mozzie
No, I don't mind. Go ahead.
Ryan
Yeah, it's cool. I named this one, and again, this is just critical stuff that I. I. My kids today. I want to get caught later in life. This one's called Pumping and Dumping.
Tyler
And.
Ryan
It'S about the meme. The, like, the. The whole meme coin industry in 2024. Okay. The meme coin saga of 2024 was a lot like taking a. That rattles you to the core. First came ha. The coin that should have made you rich. Now no one even wants to talk to her because she made you her little bitch. Pumping and dumping, pumping and dumping. Sounds a bit like college. This shit is getting out of hand, and it's something we need to acknowledge. Meme coin investing is not how you secure the bag. So quit acting like a finance bro and quit being a drag.
Mozzie
Whoa.
Ryan
This is amazing, America. Why are we being dumb doge to the moon? Just wait and see how rich I become. The end.
Mozzie
That's a Children's book, huh?
Ryan
Well, it's a. Yeah, more so like.
Mozzie
Yeah, a young adult, maybe.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Forget censoring. Kids got to get exposed.
Mozzie
I'm all for unbanned books.
Tyler
Life is censored, so why should the children's books be.
Ryan
Well, you got to put like an age deal on the. The deal. I was thinking three plus. So like it'll be three by the time anything.
Mozzie
And if I'm being honest with you, you might have just saved the next generation from falling for a pump and dump scheme.
Ryan
That's what I'm saying. And it's like people keep following. They keep falling for these P and ds and it's like, what are you guys doing? Doge to the absolute universe.
Mozzie
What is the title of the book?
Ryan
Pumping and Dumping.
Mozzie
Yeah, people. More people need to pick up a copy of Pumping and Dumping.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. How to navigate Pumping and Dumping.
Mozzie
I actually think we should get the audio book on audible for the listeners to be able to go download that.
Ryan
It's a quick listen.
Mozzie
Maybe earn you some extra coin on the side.
Ryan
Yeah, I only take payment in doge though.
Mozzie
Also, I guess we just kind of did the audio book. Right.
Ryan
I'd like to get more.
Mozzie
We'll just bleep the whole thing out. Jared.
Ryan
I'd like to get more. I'd like to get in a studio, like maybe soundproof.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
You could do voices.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mozzie
Correct.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
It's a rough draft.
Ryan
Yeah. And it's like the inflection too, wasn't there. I was just reading it for my buddies, just to see what you guys thought.
Mozzie
Yeah. Well, I appreciate.
Tyler
It was good.
Mozzie
Yeah, I appreciate you sharing. No problem.
Ryan
I'm going to read it to my kid tonight, just see what he thinks. See if there's any.
Tyler
She's not three yet. So just to avoid trouble, you'd have to give written parental consent.
Mozzie
That's guidance. It's not rule.
Ryan
Tyler, you can read it to your 5 year old, see what he thinks.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, send it to me.
Mozzie
I'll.
Tyler
I'll. He'll be your first critic.
Ryan
Okay.
Jared
I came across a Google review. You guys mind if I read it?
Mozzie
No, no, ab. Go ahead, man. I got time.
Jared
All right. Here's a Google review of their red roof in. On 53rd street in Milwaukee that I found. The guy's name is that dog DMER 60.
Mozzie
That dog DMER 60. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
Must have been a year he was born or something.
Jared
I have no idea. The young man at the front desk was very rude and unwilling to talk. As a Gemini that really makes my skin crawl. The decor is absolutely tasteless and the walls are. Are far too thin. You could hear a mouse sneezing in the next room. I truly value my privacy when I'm alone with nobody else around. I was extremely disappointed with the size of the freezer. They barely fit the liver and onions I packed, which if I had to guess, it's about the size of a male hand aged 14 to 32. The ice machine was bro and in my line of work that's a serious inconvenience. The room smelled foul. All I had in my Astro van was a gallon of bleach. So I poured most of it in the bathtub. It made the place feel a little more like home. Overall. Overall, I give it one star. Never eating here again, Jeff.
Mozzie
Ever eating here.
Jared
I just came across.
Mozzie
That's crazy. Hey, Wellth thought out review though, though.
Jared
Yeah, it's very detailed.
Ryan
It is. Sounds like a decent line of work.
Jared
Might be something wrong. I don't know. There might be.
Mozzie
What does this guy do for a living again?
Jared
I don't really know. He didn't say it.
Mozzie
Yeah, thought he did.
Jared
It's really strange, huh? So.
Ryan
Yeah, and I mean like shout out to the people who do reviews because I don't and I need to read some, you know, I need to read those in order know what I'm getting myself into.
Tyler
Like I killed that review dude.
Mozzie
So. Yeah, he did. It's like said something about the. The freezer not working well. Is that what he said?
Jared
It's too small. It's one of those like mini fr.
Tyler
It barely fit his liver and onions because.
Mozzie
Oh, that is one of my pet peeves. And now I know to steer clear.
Jared
Yeah.
Mozzie
Steer clear of that place.
Ryan
Well, not only the freezer too small and then the ice machine doesn't work.
Jared
I know.
Ryan
So it's like.
Jared
It's the worst.
Tyler
Thank God he had a thing of bleach with him though, otherwise.
Jared
That's his van.
Mozzie
I actually just ran out of be bleach in my car.
Tyler
I need to thirsty or what?
Ryan
Yeah. Never heard. You never know when you'll need a gallon of bleach.
Mozzie
Yeah. Well, cool guy. I mean I appreciate you guys sharing. That was really awesome.
Tyler
That was nice.
Mozzie
Yeah. So yeah, you got a couple authors in the group.
Ryan
It's one of those things when you get to me my age, this is like what's the. What's next in life? And I, you know, it's like I think I could write a really good children's book that Actually teaches lessons.
Mozzie
And you did, Man, I. I think.
Tyler
Right, we go 50. 50 on a publishing company. Children's books.
Ryan
A PC. Yeah, but they call that in the book world, right.
Mozzie
You're gonna want 51.
Tyler
Red Rocket Publishing. Well, it's my idea, so that's the.
Ryan
One I'm selling the pay per views, though, AKA selling books.
Mozzie
You got any fun facts for us today, Jared?
Jared
I have one. Historians generally believe that St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Britain, not Ireland, near the end of the 4th century. At age 16, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders, sold as a slave to a Celtic priest in the area now known as Northern Ireland. After toiling for six years as a shepherd, he escaped back to Britain. He eventually returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary.
Mozzie
Yeah, that's tough. Look, for the old Irish.
Tyler
That's a huge kick in the nuts. This is her favorite day.
Mozzie
Now, I don't think. I mean, it's not about him being from Ireland, right. It's that he was a missionary and.
Jared
Yep. He converted Ireland to Christianity.
Mozzie
Yeah, I mean, that's. Think.
Ryan
Had he. Yeah. Had he not got captured.
Tyler
But he was a leprechaun though, right?
Mozzie
No, he was.
Tyler
He. He converted them because he found the gold at the end of the rainbow.
Mozzie
No, he was a human, Tyler.
Jared
I didn't foresee that.
Ryan
Did he. Did he invent lucky charms?
Tyler
Yeah, they're magically delicious. Just like the. Like the gold. He found that and get us. It must have been right after he got kidnapped that he found the gold.
Ryan
Was he also the one who invented those little chocolate coins that are wrapped in, like, gold?
Tyler
For sure, that's him.
Mozzie
No, you're thinking of the guy. He's the guy that. He would take gold and, like, put it down people's chimneys.
Tyler
No.
Mozzie
Stuff.
Tyler
Oh, that's gold. Member from Austin Powers or Santa? I like Saint Claus skin. Saint Claus looks like old Saint Claus.
Jared
To. To is not the season.
Mozzie
All right.
Tyler
Well.
Mozzie
Is that it, boys?
Ryan
That's all I got, so.
Mozzie
Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of the you bet your radio podcast. May your dad's diary stay hidden. You don't want to read that. And your weekend fun be packed with shrub tide.
Jared
There you go.
Mozzie
Cheers, Ryan. Oh, you betcha.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
Yeah.

Jared
Be completely honest. No. How many penguins do you think you can take in a fight?
Mozzie
Is this to the death or knockout or what? I think knockout.
Tyler
I think. Yeah. Any sort of incapacitation, you could kill more. Knock them out.
Mozzie
The more I take on, the more I have to knock out. Or I just can't get knocked out, I guess.
Jared
Yeah, you can't get knocked out.
Tyler
This is, I mean, there's Emperor Pain. Penguins are huge. So the type of pain, I just.
Mozzie
Don'T know if they have the power to knock me out.
Tyler
They could peck you to death.
Mozzie
Like I think I. I think they would kill me before they knock me out. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, like they're not gonna give me blunt force trauma.
Ryan
Yeah, I think it's more so gonna have to be just like you're gonna.
Tyler
Pass out from blood loss. Yeah, we, we gotta establish the type. There's penguins that are like two feet tall and there's penguins that are like five feet.
Mozzie
Well, let's go with the. Do a three foot penguin then. Okay, three foot penguin. I'm just imagining me Standing in the middle of the room surrounded by penguins. A full room of penguins. I think it's no bueno. I think I'm going to get pecked to death. Trampled. I think I could at least handle five.
Jared
Yeah.
Mozzie
I'd like to think I could handle 10.
Jared
What about 11?
Mozzie
20 is too much. So I think maybe, I think 12. I think 12 is a good number.
Jared
I think you do more than that.
Tyler
Me too.
Ryan
I was going to say.
Tyler
Not a thousand.
Ryan
Think about how fast they can move.
Tyler
I.
Ryan
They can't. They can't move fast.
Tyler
Dude.
Mozzie
If we're outside trying to knock out a thousand penguins you would die of exhaustion.
Ryan
It's a th.000 punches. Also you don't know where my cardio level right now. I'm on 6day65.
Jared
I'm not even sure Jon Jones could do a th.
Mozzie
No.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Also you have kicks. You know you're not punching all of them.
Tyler
Yeah, but you got to be careful with kicking these bastards.
Mozzie
Cuz you knocked out a penguin every three seconds.
Tyler
Yep.
Jared
Rough. Yeah. On average.
Mozzie
So that's 3,000 seconds. How many minutes is that? It's 3,000 divided by 60. Tyler.
Tyler
I'm on it.
Mozzie
That be 50, 50 straight minutes.
Tyler
50 straight minutes.
Mozzie
50 straight minutes of punching and kicking penguins to unconsciousness and a box rounds.
Jared
Three minutes.
Ryan
Oh I'm aware.
Mozzie
Well also not getting attacked by the other thousand penguins. You're not going one at a time.
Ryan
If there's only so many that can stand in front of you before the other ones have to like there's no more room to get get in.
Mozzie
They just run you over. There's just enough weight to just push you over and they all dog pile on top of you and then you get crushed to death.
Ryan
I'll go with 750.
Tyler
I, I, I think 30 is my number.
Ryan
Until you die.
Tyler
Yeah. That's how many I would take out before they killed me.
Mozzie
What if they just got iron jaws though?
Tyler
I, I don't know. And I just, I just feel like I'm gonna end up kicking one square in the beak and take a beak to the through the foot.
Ryan
Here's, here's the thing though. If you, you get your hands on. You get a beak in each hand. You can use that as a shank for the other ones.
Jared
But like their beaks artery too.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
The beaks could what could cart like.
Jared
An important artery too in your arm or something.
Tyler
Especially if they're three foot.
Ryan
But if, but if I, the first two penguins I kill I, I grab.
Mozzie
Them Or I pull up a clip of penguin wins. Fighting. Let's get. Let's watch some film.
Ryan
If I can get a beak in each hand I. I now have two weapons.
Mozzie
Penguins fighting.
Ryan
Those are emperor penguins.
Tyler
These are the big boys.
Ryan
All right. Let's penguins look forward.
Tyler
Set themselves apart. Go to the peak. That's for sure where they start soon.
Mozzie
Sparks jelly policies.
Tyler
Look at those beats.
Mozzie
Look at them muscle in. Look at that.
Tyler
That stare down. I might be intimidated. Maybe I can only do it too.
Mozzie
Wow.
Ryan
They're actually except arrival.
Tyler
But the males having none of it.
Mozzie
Imagine getting poked by a thousand penguins. Leg sweep.
Ryan
Tyler ankle picked.
Tyler
Yeah. I could get 30 of them.
Ryan
If you grab one by the feet and just start helicopter helicoptering it.
Jared
Helicopter.
Mozzie
I mean it is look like a pretty big slap.
Tyler
Yeah but it's not over yet.
Ryan
Wow. Those things are tough.
Mozzie
Her mate cheers her on. It's. It's gonna be. They're gonna peck you to death.
Tyler
Yep. This time she's clinched it. She slapped her way to victory.
Mozzie
This isn't a great look for the penguins.
Tyler
Oh no.
Ryan
It's a great look for me though.
Mozzie
I think I could take. I think I could take 20 now that I saw that the slaps are.
Tyler
Just going to be. They're going to be kind of cute. You should be slapping me for you.
Mozzie
Mostly you got to watch out for the beaks.
Tyler
Yep. I still think 750 is a ridiculous number.
Mozzie
That's fine.
Ryan
That's my number. You what did you pick 30?
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
There's no way to prove it.
Tyler
I've seen Antarctica.
Mozzie
No I've seen on Tick Tock there. There's like they'll do like a hundred thousand bears versus like a hundred thousand men.
Tyler
I love those videos.
Mozzie
We. They got to be able to do a thousand penguins versus one man versus Ryan.
Tyler
We can request it in the comments.
Ryan
You could like if there's like a simulator. Like an online simulator.
Mozzie
That's what we're talking about. This guy does a simulation where he puts animals against each other and then see who wins. By the way the bears run train they recognize.
Ryan
Oh yeah. Yeah.
Jared
What kind of bears Brown. Oh Grizz.
Mozzie
I don't know.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mozzie
Yeah. I twenties do like cuz it's how many you think you can take? For sure be able to take 20 after seeing that.
Jared
Okay.
Ryan
Yeah. You're going to have no issues with that. I mean Pl. 20/730 I think will be. I'll be fine. I mean Jared put that. Put the link to that video in the patreon and just tell me how vicious that looks.
Jared
I will.
Mozzie
Thank you.
Tyler
What about you, Jared?
Jared
I don't know 10 if that. I'm not a fighter. I can't fight.
Ryan
But, but, but if you're. If your life depended on it, you would find something inside of you.
Mozzie
Okay, but you're just forgetting that if you make one false step and you end up on your, on your back trip on one of them. They. They're ramming into you with their bellies.
Tyler
Suffocate you.
Mozzie
You just suffocate. They're gonna peck you with their beak until you die.
Ryan
It's just them ramming into me with their. Did you. They were ramming each other with their bellies and they weren't doing anything.
Tyler
Anything.
Mozzie
That was one penguin. You're talking about. 750.
Ryan
And if there's. If there's. Room for me to maneuver, there's. I. You not. 750 is not out of the question.
Tyler
But if they're trying to beat you up, you're gonna have 750 penguins surrounding you.
Ryan
And I'm also beating them up. So there's 750.
Mozzie
I just.
Ryan
In the first two minutes, you knock out 15 of those.
Mozzie
Even if you'd have said 75, I'd have been like, I don't think. Think you can.
Jared
It's a little.
Mozzie
Yeah. And you 10x that.
Ryan
I don't. Looking at those pecs, I don't even think that, like, if I had clothes, I don't even think it could pierce my clothes.
Mozzie
I hate.
Tyler
I hate fish with them.
Mozzie
I hate what 75 hard has done to Ryan.
Jared
750 hard.
Ryan
I. I don't.
Mozzie
Yeah. Why don't you do 750 hard after this? They got 700.
Ryan
Tell me what to do when it comes to of my mental and physical fitness.
Mozzie
No, hard. 750 is literally you fighting penguins.
Ryan
Oh, yeah. Okay, I'm, I'm down.
Tyler
We got to get you to Antarctica. It's just.
Ryan
You guys, you saw the video.
Jared
Get a lot of red tape. Craven Morehead, how long is the perfect nap.
Mozzie
Age?
Jared
Old question.
Mozzie
I mean, a two hour nap. Like, let's say you fell asleep at 1 and woke up at 3. You feel phenomenal.
Ryan
Two hours. Great.
Tyler
Yeah. For me, if I nap longer than like 45 minutes, I wake up just groggy as.
Jared
Yeah. Power nap.
Tyler
Yeah. I'm a. I'm a power napper for sure.
Ryan
I think a 45 minute nap with five snoozes. Snoozes?
Tyler
Yeah. You set your alarm for 30 minutes and you snooze it.
Ryan
Snooze it about five to 10 times.
Tyler
I'm with that.
Ryan
That's actually, I mean I, I do that pretty frequently if I do nap.
Jared
Because if I take a two hour nap, I'm not sleeping that night. Yeah, take a while.
Ryan
Same.
Tyler
And it takes me like an hour to get back to zero with my grogginess.
Mozzie
I don't know. I think if I took a two hour nap on a weekend and didn't have to worry about being groggy after, I'd be pretty happy.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you.
Jared
My plagiarianus wife is pregnant and wants it to be the last kid, so she wants one of us to get fixed. How do I gaslight her into getting fixed so I don't have to just get fixed?
Mozzie
Dude, she literally gives birth. Plus you have a bill. If you get fixed, you have an excuse to have a party with your friends.
Tyler
Yep.
Mozzie
It's like, yes, there is risks involved with it, but we're pretty good at it now. We can even reverse it. You know, that's how good we are at this. Snip snap, snip snap.
Tyler
I think there's less risk for us getting fixed than them getting fixed too.
Mozzie
Probably. Yeah. I don't have any data to back that up.
Tyler
I think it's just a gut instinct.
Ryan
Just do it like a couple days off of work.
Mozzie
Plus like you gotta, you're, you're not thinking long game game, dude. Like she's already got the leverage over you that she gave birth to children. You got to gain some leverage back to be like, I put my balls on the line. You need to put your nuts on the table.
Ryan
True.
Mozzie
