They express common grievances about construction crews appearing to work inefficiently, often without a clear understanding of the complexities involved in such projects.

The hosts humorously propose the idea of a "Construction Court TV," where tradespeople can air their grievances and resolve conflicts in a mock courtroom setting.

[31:00] Tyler:
"It's like if the excavating company who did my house... it'd be like them bringing them to Construction Court TV."

Transcript

[Tyler]

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the you Betcha Radio podcast. We are finally full strength, boys.

[Ryan]

It's been a minute.

[Tyler]

It's been what, a month?

[Ryan]

I think so.

[Tyler]

So, Tyler, you just got back from bear hunting in Canada.

[Ryan]

Right on.

[Tyler]

What happened? Did you get a bear?

[Ryan]

I did get a bear. Shot a bear on the second night. I was absolutely.

[Tyler]

So why weren't you in the office the next day?

[Ryan]

Well, because I had to go on my fishing trip after that.

[Miles]

Yeah, walleye trip.

[Ryan]

Got a shitload of those, too.

[Miles]

Absolutely hammering.

[Tyler]

So you. So did you just shoot a bear or. Because you went with your dad, did he also shoot a bear?

[Ryan]

He did, but we didn't find it. That's bad. It is. He hit it in the shoulder, so it only went in like 2 inches. So the bear's fine.

[Miles]

That's bad news bears.

[Ryan]

It is bad news Bears. Um, but we had. There were six of us on the trip in our group and we went five for six.

[Tyler]

So, like Dave.

[Miles]

Like Dave.

[Ryan]

Five. Five for six on the bears.

[Tyler]

Any. I mean you. Yeah, I mean, five for six in my mind is a loss considering that you basically were just shooting fish in a barrel. You were just on a bear farm.

[Ryan]

No. So weird. It was really cool. I actually. We're on our way to the stand the first night and my dad looks at me and he's like, this is going to ruin bear hunting for you back home. There's so many more bears out here. It's going to ruin bear hunting. So I get in the stand the first night and I'm going to do my best Fred Bear impersonation and just sit as still as I possibly can. I had my bow on my lap, didn't even hang it up. Clipped on my release. And I sat there for eight and a half hours and didn't see a fucking no phone. I check my phone every once in a while, but there's no service. I'm in the middle of nowhere.

[Miles]

So your phone's useless?

[Ryan]

Pretty much. You could, like, try to send messages with that new satellite deal, but it wasn't working great.

[Jared]

Just on the calculator app.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just type in 80085 and then giggling.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Or like. What I do is I like to see how much money I make with the S P 500, doubling my money every seven years. So it's like, all right, if I put $2 in and I invest for 140 years, would I have a million dollars? I like to do that with the calculator app.

[Miles]

Yeah. Fun little Brain games.

[Ryan]

I didn't get that in depth, but I sat there the first night for so long and didn't see anything. I was like, well, bare hunting at home's not ruined yet.

[Miles]

So you sat all through the night, like pitch black. You were spotlighting or what?

[Ryan]

No. So you sit till you do sit pretty late. So you. From the lodge, they. They. You put the four wheelers on the trailer, and we drove, like, 45 minutes to an hour from the lodge. We dropped the four wheelers and then went another 45 minutes off into the bush. So we're a long ways out there. And then the guide brings one hunter in and then takes the other hunter another 30 minutes through the bush. So he'll pick up one hunter at dark. And then you. You do have to sit there in the dark for a while and wait for your guide to come get you.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. It's fucking big.

[Ryan]

It was. Takes a lot of.

[Tyler]

All right, so let's get to you shooting the bear here now.

[Ryan]

Okay. I got the. The. The morning after my dad hit when we went to go track it, right? And so we get to the bait, and the bait's down by a river, and we parked four there's up on top of a hill. And the guy's like, hey, Tyler, go peek over the hill. See if there's any bears in the bait. And so I pick up over the hill and there's a bear right at the bait. And I was like, here we go. We got one. And it ended up being a sow with cubs. And she was a mean bitch. Just. Just chop. They chop their teeth at you to, like, get you to go away. She's chomping her teeth at us. And then she. Eventually, she's scared off. We didn't find her. And then that night, I'm in the stand and I finally see. I see my first bear, and it's a little dinker. I put him on my story. So I saw him and they're in.

[Tyler]

Yeah, let's get to shooting.

[Ryan]

And boars, they're in heat, so they hate each other. So he. The little bear spooks off. He runs away. I'm like, oh, shit, here comes big boy. And nothing for, like, 20 minutes, little guy just sits there. And he just sits there and looks at me, like, a hundred yards away for the rest of the night. And then right at, like, getting close to dark, he starts walking towards me. And he stops, like, 15 yards away from the bait, looks over my shoulder and sprints away. So, like. And I look over My shoulder here comes black through the brush, like, all right, here comes the big guy. So I clip on and he's heads behind some brush. So I go to full draw and he stops at like 8 yards in front of me. And he turns and looks back and so his head and his shoulder are covering his vitals. And I don't want, I can't take that shot. So then he keeps walking. Now he's out of my sight. I have to let my bow down. And he does a full circle in the woods, comes back to the bait. So I go back to full draw again, but now he's quartering to me so I can't shoot him. Then he goes on the back side of the bait and he's facing me so I can't shoot him. And he goes on the left side of the bait, quartering to me again, so I can't shoot him again. And I'm at full draw this whole frickin time. And then finally he starts to walk away from the bait, but I still don't have a good shot. And he stops and his back paw is back. So when their paws back, their shoulder blade is over their vitals. So I was waiting. And I'm at full draw this whole time. I'm starting to get a little bit shaky. And his front paw steps forward. And then I shoot him. I smoke him. He runs into the woods 35 yards and dies. And I hear the death moan and everything and it was awesome.

[Tyler]

Nice.

[Miles]

I wouldn't have been able to hold.

[Ryan]

I, I, yeah, I held my bow longer at full draw than I ever have in my life. And I didn't really realize how long it was until after. And I was just shaking.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's like when you haven't had booze in like a month or so.

[Ryan]

Exactly, dude.

[Jared]

Like the first time that's be after a day.

[Ryan]

I was just having withdrawals in the sand. But I don't know, it might be too graphic for the podcast. You guys decide. But I did, I recorded the death moan in the woods.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we don't need to.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think if anyone, if anyone listening wants to hear it, just let me know, I'll send it to you.

[Tyler]

Yeah, send me with your mouth right now. Just sounds like my dad, like on.

[Ryan]

The couch falling asleep, taking a shit.

[Miles]

Yeah, or just get up from a nap. You're trying to get up, walk around a little bit.

[Tyler]

Actually, my dad does this thing so we'll like beach our boat if we're like still using it and not put on the Lifts at the lake and everyone gets off the boat to go do other stuff. And he always just sits there. Like, I don't know why. He just sits in the chair, not.

[Miles]

Ready to get up.

[Tyler]

And then I'm like doing something in the cabin. I look out and he's just laying. He's laying or sitting in the seat with his head cranked all the way back, just sleeping. It looked like the most uncomfortable thing. And if I had been outside, I think I would have heard the bare death.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah, Start getting scared.

[Ryan]

Uh, so I shot it right at dark. And so at right after I hear the death mode. It wasn't five minutes later. I hear the guide coming to get me on the four wheeler. And he pulls up and I was like, hey, I just shot one. He's dead right there. So we go down there. He bushwhacks his way through a bunch of little tiny poplar trees to just park right next to the bear. We throw him in the trailer and we get him in the trailer and we get turned around and we just hear bruh right by us. We look over and from meteor away in the bush in the middle of the night, the biggest bear I've ever seen in the wild just chomping at us. He was not scared of us one bit. And Jan was the name of my, my guide. He's like, we gotta go, we gotta get the out of here. Get it. Get on the front of the four wheeler, let's go. And I was like, I can't do. We're in thick ass trees. So I just, I have my bow just facing this thing. Jan's in the four wheeler trying to bust a path out of the bush. And he hits a tree that's too big for the four wheeler to mow over. So he like rides it up in a wheelie. And this bear is not moving. This bear is just staying there. And he has a 12 gauge. So he, he had, he had the gun. And finally he got out. When I just backed out of the woods. I just walked backwards out of the woods till we got back to the bait. And I hopped on him and got the fuck out of there.

[Tyler]

So you gotta start with that story. Well, I was telling you guys. Yeah, you should start with the, the, the bow draw.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

I enjoyed it.

[Tyler]

I know. Well, part of a good hunting story is starting at the right moment of the story.

[Ryan]

Yeah, well, that. I thought it was cool. I thought.

[Tyler]

Well, no, you started with the day before where you sat there for eight hours doing nothing.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You don't Start the story at the top, you build up to it.

[Miles]

Yeah, well, you forgot, like, what time you guys woke up for your flight and stuff, too. Like what. Yeah, what was.

[Tyler]

I would have liked to have known that.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So I was at Miles's house shooting a video, and then I booked it over to my dad's, and then we drove to the cities, and then. No, I did get stopped by Homeland Security and customs on the way home. I had to declare that I have a bear and a tote that I'm bringing on a plane.

[Miles]

Yeah, that'll happen. I've seen that a couple of times.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I couldn't believe that's how you get your bear home. I was like. I thought maybe they would ship it or something. They're like, nah, here's a tote. Just make sure you keep your license on you. And you just put it on the plane. Which it makes sense, but I just didn't think that's how you did it.

[Miles]

Me either. No. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Is it like a tote, Like a cooler tote type vibe?

[Ryan]

It's a straight up tote.

[Miles]

No, because it was just the head and the rug.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So they donated the meat. Let them keep the meat.

[Tyler]

Oh, I thought you were bringing meat home.

[Ryan]

No, they let that. Let them. Otherwise I'd have to. I would have had to pay a ship. I had to pay $300 to ship this thing home. If I had that have been very oversized luggage to bring all the meat back.

[Jared]

Couldn't bring it out of yeti because it's bear proof.

[Ryan]

That's true. That's very true.

[Tyler]

You literally open it up, you try and put it in there, and there's like a force field.

[Jared]

Is going on.

[Tyler]

So. Did you eat any of the meat, though?

[Ryan]

Yeah, we had, like, their back straps. And I. I'm not a fan of just straight up bear meat. I like mixing it in sausage.

[Miles]

Yeah, you can give it. Yeah. Give it to guys like me.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Or me.

[Tyler]

Or me.

[Ryan]

Sure. But yeah, they keep it and they either donate it or they'll use it as bait because bears are cannibals.

[Jared]

Circle life.

[Miles]

That's true. Food pyramid.

[Ryan]

But yeah, it doesn't go to waste, which is good. But, yeah, I had to stop at Homeland Security. Like, what do you got in the tote? Like, it's a bear.

[Jared]

Wouldn't you like to know?

[Ryan]

You're like. And then the one guy's like. He was super chill. He's like, yeah, you're good. Anyone from Fish and Wildlife? Guys. They. They have their. Together, you can go. And the other guy's like, don't you want to run it through the X ray? He's like, do you want to see his bear? So then they just let me go kind of spot.

[Jared]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Tyler]

Great drug smuggling tactic.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Put it in the bear.

[Tyler]

Are you going to use it as a rug or are you going to put it on the wall?

[Ryan]

I think I'm going rug this time.

[Tyler]

Okay. Okay.

[Ryan]

Because I have a. I have a shoulder mounted bear. And then the first bear I killed, I just tanned the hide, kind of like hang it like a wolf pelt. But I'm gonna. I'm gonna get a rug.

[Tyler]

Do you have to make it into a rug? Are you just gonna drop it on the ground? Like, what is the process of making a bear rug?

[Ryan]

So they tan the hide first and then they, like trim off the sides. Like, the belly skin basically gets trimmed off and they put a form in the head. So the only thing that's actually stuffed is the head. And then they just like put like felt or something on the bottom side of the hide for the carpet. Look.

[Jared]

Do you get to choose if the mouth is open or closed? I think.

[Ryan]

I think so. Most I've seen are the mouth's always open.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I always wonder, could you do like a wink? Could you do a wink with like, tongue out?

[Ryan]

I'm sure I could.

[Miles]

Like the emoji. That'd be sweet. People aren't getting creative enough with mounts. Yeah, we're not winking. We're not doing like. I'd love a deer, like a shoulder moun with the tongue sticking out. Yeah, it'd be great, you know.

[Jared]

Cigar.

[Miles]

Yeah, Cigar and mouth. Yeah. You'd pick the cigar.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know how you do like a head mount could do like a. Like go all the way to like, just have the. The. The front legs.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And then if you. Every year you get one, you just make the YMCA with their front legs.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

Or even. Yeah, ones like this. Like, I don't know if they bend that way, but they would.

[Ryan]

It'll work.

[Tyler]

It could make it work.

[Ryan]

Yeah. The sea might be the hardest.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You definitely, like, blew out the front shoulder. It's just flopping now. And it just like happens to land over top the head.

[Jared]

Yeah. Or give him like a British hat like this deer or whatever and say it's a European mount.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. That's a good one, Jared.

[Tyler]

But yeah, it.

[Miles]

Well, yeah, European mount has no hair or anything. It's just skull.

[Tyler]

But yeah, just a deer holding Like a espresso. Espresso, I should say, got really bad teeth.

[Ryan]

The hats that the French guys wear that are kind of like a beret. Yeah. Put a beret on them.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know, a bear rug would look pretty good in the studio.

[Ryan]

I just want to throw my tan. Height is here. That would look in my office. I can put it in here. Okay. I'm not putting my rug in here at all.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean, were you actually eight yards away from the biggest bear you've ever seen in your life? So why didn't it beat the out of you?

[Ryan]

I don't know. It very well could have.

[Miles]

I didn't know they gave you warning signs. I didn't know it was like a rattlesnake where I'll give you warning signs.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they like. They chop their. They clack their teeth together.

[Miles]

You clack back.

[Ryan]

No.

[Tyler]

You think the bear was like, ah, they up my brother, and I don't want him to up me.

[Ryan]

No. So I actually think that the big bear had been sitting in there all night, and he was the one that really scared off the little one to start.

[Miles]

Huh.

[Ryan]

Because otherwise the little one just sat there like, 100 yards away. He'd have came back in if that big guy was.

[Tyler]

So are you a little bit mad you didn't get the bigger bear?

[Ryan]

No, I wouldn't have got him because he wouldn't have come in till after dark, and that had been illegal, so.

[Tyler]

Because he's too smart.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he's.

[Tyler]

That's how you get to be that big.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Like it. They don't get this big for a reason.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So then we went fishing, and we caught. The worst day we had fishing was 60 walleyes.

[Jared]

Insane.

[Tyler]

So did you donate those, too?

[Ryan]

No, we kept our limit and ate them.

[Jared]

Put your carry on.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You want to see his walleyes, too?

[Ryan]

Hls we had to take, like, a shuttle bus to where we parked in the airport, and the dudes like, grab your bags, you know. He picked up the bear thing. He's like, jesus, that's a lot of fish. I'm like, it's not a fish.

[Miles]

It's not a fish. My guy. This thing will eat you.

[Ryan]

It's a live bear cub that I smuggled in from Canada.

[Tyler]

Actually, that's not true.

[Ryan]

It's not true. Not true. That was facetious. Another thing that I think you guys find interesting, We've had a lot of Canadian smoke here last few days. I was right next to it. We had to get evacuated from the lodge, so the fire was a quarter of a mile from where we were staying and I saw the flames. The smoke was crazy. That helicopters landing in the yard of our guide's house and like they brought in the fire crews, brought in these big ass sprinklers to wet everything down. It was. It's crazy.

[Miles]

Were you wearing N95 masks in the stand?

[Ryan]

I was not, no.

[Tyler]

So I mean the air quality here was pretty bad. What was it like there when the.

[Ryan]

Wind was blowing at you? Pretty fucking bad. Like the, the lake. We were fishing on day one, it was crystal clear. You could see all the way across this huge ass lake. The next day you couldn't see shore.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

From the house.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Smoke on the water.

[Miles]

You've ever met my college buddies, you'd know what that air quality is like. You ever get my. My college buddies in an enclosed room, you'd know what the air quality is like.

[Jared]

It's like a GB on steroids.

[Tyler]

So your college buddies were completely at ease over the last few days? Yeah.

[Miles]

They could not have been like less.

[Tyler]

If anything it was actually a breath of fresh air.

[Miles]

Pretty much. Yeah.

[Tyler]

They. I mean going from going. Yeah, going from their. Going from their living room outside was actually cleaner air.

[Miles]

Yeah. They probably just thought someone left the back door open or like what do we eat in the whole neighborhood and close that door. Neighbors are going to find out. The whole fucking state's going to find out.

[Jared]

Trouble.

[Ryan]

Blame it on Canada.

[Jared]

Blame Canada.

[Miles]

So.

[Tyler]

What. What was the cause of these fires? Just Is it they had a drought or what?

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's super, super dry. And then they. Some fires they can pinpoint to irresponsible campers and actually when we. We left the last two days of the hunting there was a ban on ATVs. So like if those run too hot and you leave it parked in the grass running, it could start a fire.

[Miles]

Decent band name. Ban. Ban on ATVs. More of like a. Yeah, like a small town, Saturday night type deal.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we can workshop that one. Yeah. Now bands on boats. Great band.

[Miles]

Yeah, that's another good one.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we did that.

[Jared]

Alliteration.

[Tyler]

It's. Any alliteration works.

[Jared]

Sure, sure.

[Tyler]

Did you talk to any Canadian folk up there?

[Ryan]

Lots of them. I'm a big fan.

[Tyler]

Are you?

[Ryan]

I do. I. I really like Canadians.

[Tyler]

I mean, I do too. But what did.

[Ryan]

They're all. They just. There's no hiding emotions with those guys. They say exactly how they feel. They. I love their Canadian lingo. They don't say a nearly as much as media makes Them seem. But they say cool shit. Like they said of. Instead of saying like I didn't see shit tonight, it's like I didn't see fuck all.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So that's one that I would like to adopt. People don't go places in Canada. They off somewhere. So we're gonna off up to these woods. Then we get there, we'll park the trailers and we'll off over into these woods.

[Miles]

Yeah. They also say grade before the number. So they were in great, you know, grade one time back in grade nine.

[Jared]

Yeah. Very trailer park, boys.

[Miles]

Yeah. Or the washroom. There's no bathrooms in Canada. It's all washrooms.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

They're hitting GBS with Tim Hortons cups.

[Ryan]

They say say right on a lot.

[Tyler]

Do you say bud a lot?

[Ryan]

One guy did that. Wasn't everybody. But yeah.

[Tyler]

Because I've seen the tick tocks and basically like if so and so was from Alberta, Canada, it's just like, oh there bud, you're doing good.

[Jared]

Moose soup.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I think. Yeah, I think she's definitely Canadian.

[Ryan]

There's a like random phrases I caught. Like instead of saying like about a half an hour, they say it'll take us about 25 half.

[Tyler]

No way. Weird, huh?

[Jared]

I kind of like that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Just calling it half, that's half.

[Ryan]

Yep. Take us about 25 half.

[Miles]

That's.

[Ryan]

And then the old. The. So when we moved lodges, our fishing guide, his name was Jerry, he's an older guy. He does say a. A lot. Like he'll just say it and as a question, like, what do you think you're doing over there, eh? And then it'd be like you won't say anything. You'd be like, eh, eh? And be like, oh, you're talking to me. Sorry. You just throw that at the end of sentences for fun.

[Miles]

Yeah. They just took the Q out of the Spanish lingo.

[Ryan]

Yep. Okay. Yeah.

[Miles]

Poor A.

[Tyler]

Well, we're glad to have you back, Tyler.

[Ryan]

Yep. Back on home soil.

[Jared]

Kiss the ground when you got back?

[Ryan]

Yeah, immediately. Well, after I got through an hour long line of customs.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Then I did.

[Jared]

That's what I always do when I get back to Fargo.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

Yeah. Back in my pocket.

[Ryan]

Jared flies home from Milwaukee.

[Tyler]

Kisses the crowd, the homeland.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Glad to be back.

[Tyler]

All right guys, time for prize picks. Time of the week. And right now, if you sign up with code YBR on prize pick, you get $50 instantly when you play your first five dollar lineup. You don't need to win the lineup to receive the 50 bonus. It's just guaranteed and this week, we got a good lineup for you guys. NBA Finals start. Who's excited about that?

[Miles]

Me.

[Ryan]

I'm sad.

[Tyler]

This guy. You know, at the beginning here, I said, God, if we can just get a under. Pacers, NBA Finals, I'll be jacked. And here we are. And so what do we got this week, Jared?

[Jared]

I got Pascal siakam, more than 19 and a half points.

[Tyler]

Jared or Tyler?

[Ryan]

Me, I got Miles Turner, more than 20 and a half points in rebounds.

[Tyler]

Red Devil.

[Miles]

Yeah, I left that one on mine.

[Tyler]

I got SGA, which is Shea Gilgiagis Alexander, less than 33 and a half points. I feel like he's gonna hit a buzz saw. That is the Pacers defense, and I think they're gonna lock SGA down. So you gotta hit the lesser than 33 and a half.

[Miles]

Yeah, I got Chet Holmgren, less than 28 points, rebounds, assists.

[Jared]

Nice.

[Ryan]

So you're.

[Tyler]

You're thinking chats. He's not gonna have.

[Miles]

Incorrect.

[Tyler]

You think Chad is gonna absolutely shat the bed? Well, I just peg him chat the bed.

[Miles]

I just peg him more as like a 27 points.

[Ryan]

How long have you been doing that?

[Miles]

I'm pegging him as more of like a 27 points rebounds assist type of guy. Okay, so I'm going less than 28, so.

[Tyler]

Okay. All right, so there we go.

[Jared]

Hell, yeah.

[Tyler]

There's the lineup, folks. Do we have any slip picks this week, guys? Ryan would like to peg you guys as slip picks, guys and gals, so send your slit picks in. We'd love to hear about your wins, maybe even your losses, and maybe there's something we can all learn from the losses as well.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'd like to see a slip fix again before they hit, so.

[Jared]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Miles]

Ah, yeah.

[Tyler]

Heaters, welcome. Just send them our way.

[Miles]

Heatersonly.com Good luck this week.

[Tyler]

Use code YBR. Folks, last the end of last week, I realized I. My neighbor, I'm in a. What I call a construction hood where I moved into a new neighborhood. And, like, so since I moved in, there's just been some sort of construction going on on our street. And we're almost done, but my neighbors, they were putting in some landscaping. So, like, you know, the. The curbing that goes around the house? Yeah, they had someone come and set that up so that they could get their plants and trees and all that stuff. So I come home or I leave for work in the morning, and a construction crew shows up to do the curbing of landscaping around my neighbor's house, and I come home at night, and they're still doing the curbing around their house. And something that I realize is, is that construction workers love either saying how shitty someone's work is or how slow they are. And that's what happened to me. I literally walk in the house, I go, and what the were those guys doing today? When I left, they were, they were starting. And I know it doesn't take that long to do curbing. What were they doing all day?

[Miles]

No, you got, we got curbing here. So you know the process.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I know the pro. It's easy. You just dump the cement in there and the machine forms it all for you. I don't know what they were doing.

[Miles]

All day by the hour.

[Tyler]

And like, yeah, it's a nice sized house, but I mean, in my mind it shouldn't have taken them more than three and a half hours. And they were there for at least eight.

[Ryan]

The problem is the homeowner they were doing it for has no idea and was paying them hourly probably.

[Miles]

Well, I could have lemonade break to a long, extended lemonade break.

[Ryan]

Homeowner home, you know, they take a three hour lunch.

[Miles]

Yeah, it was hot. Yeah, hot. They were offered showers, hopped in the shower.

[Ryan]

I do think the people that get in trouble for this the most like judge the most are road construction people. Like, no matter what they're doing, everyone's like, they're doing it too fucking slow.

[Tyler]

Oh yeah. I mean, they would. They. So they also have. If you're doing real like large scale road construction, you can't see the end.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Tyler]

Do you know, so they don't have to work fast. If you pull up to a house, you can see if it's erected or not. You're only seeing like maybe a tenth of a mile of stretch. So you can't see how much work they haven't or have done.

[Miles]

Right?

[Tyler]

So one, that it makes you over judge because you just think that they're just going slow no matter what. And two, they can, they can be slow because it's so hard to see how little progress they've made.

[Ryan]

I also feel too like no matter what trade you're in, if you're not in road construction, you have no clue what they're doing. So like, you have no idea how much work actually takes to put the road in. So you just think it should be as easy as pouring down ass, pouring down asphalt.

[Tyler]

It's something that road construction has going against them, is they do need some manpower to just stand around holding signs. Anytime you have someone standing there holding a Sign, it's immediately red flag in your head goes, they're not doing anything.

[Ryan]

So there's road construction in front of my house right now. And yesterday afternoon, I have a video of it on my phone. I look out my garage window and there's three guys just standing there bullshitting. And then the one guy up on the asphalt machine, literally lying back with his hat over his face taking a fucking nap. And I was like, this project's gonna, it's gonna be in front of my house for a year.

[Miles]

Well, I, I think too, it's because like the, the average person, like, if they wanted to tackle a landscaping project and like rent an edger, they, they could. But the no average person with no road construction experience can tackle a road project. So it's like, it's easier for us to judge the landscape project than it would be the road project project.

[Tyler]

You also compare your own projects to it, right? You're like, well, they poured our driveway in like.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

You times that by a hundred. It should only take them, you know, 100 days.

[Ryan]

Yeah, there's way more people out there.

[Tyler]

Some four years to get the road construction done.

[Miles]

Yeah, I remember in, in, in our last office, they had, they had done the curbing around the landscape and I, I guess it just didn't even click how much time had went by since they had left and finished. So I think I went outside, like turn the hose on or something, and I, you know, I just, I stepped right on top of it and my foot just sunk all the way through. But hey, they came back, they patched that baby up 30 minutes the next day.

[Jared]

I think it'd say five hours.

[Miles]

Yeah, I blamed on the neighbor too. I was like, yeah, neighbor is coming over. Check the spigot out. You actually, no, but I fucking cried. And I didn't claim it myself.

[Tyler]

That's good.

[Miles]

I think I might have blamed one of you guys or something, but.

[Tyler]

Ah, but that's the thing with construction workers is everyone except themselves is either bad at their job or way too slow. There's no women, there's no get props given anywhere.

[Ryan]

There's no good crew but your own. We're the only ones doing anything.

[Tyler]

I've never even done curbing before and I knew that they were going too slow. Yeah, it won't even be trade adjacent. It won't even be the same one. And it'll just be like the concrete guys thinks the plumbers go too slow. The plumbers think that the concrete guys are always it up and it's just It's a perpetual loop over and over and over again.

[Ryan]

On the roof. H vac guys put in the wrong spot all the time. That wasn't on our plans. The age guy put this unit somewhere they should.

[Tyler]

What a bunch of morons. And then when you mess up, it's an accident.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Wow. Out of my control.

[Tyler]

It's like, oh, yeah, we. We put the wrong color. We started with the wrong color roofing on. You're like, oh, well, that was an accident. We're not boring.

[Ryan]

The they gave us. I mean, it wasn't our fault.

[Miles]

Actually. I. I don't even mind it after looking at it for a bit.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You put the footing down when you're doing concrete and it's, you know, a foot off. That's an accident. The plan was all messed up.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

If someone else were to do that, you'd be like, they are the biggest idiots I've ever met. What kind of circus are they running at that company?

[Miles]

Yeah. I think the only way to fix this is just to get all. Just to get like one spokesperson from each trade in a room and let's just air grievances out.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I think like a committee of trades.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I don't know if it's going to work, though.

[Jared]

I feel like a lot of swearing.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, it could take. It could be like, you know, a jury deliberating over a murder case for like eight days straight. Like that could be what this is. It could take eight days for us to air.

[Tyler]

So you're saying there should be a construction court?

[Miles]

Kind of, yeah.

[Tyler]

And it's like subcontractors take each other to construction court to get them to change their behavior.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. It's kind of. It's like you do it.

[Ryan]

That'll really speed things up.

[Miles]

Do it like in a Judge Judy style aired on. I mean, I would. I would watch that on television. Yeah.

[Jared]

Court tv.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Construction Court Construction. Actually pretty great cctv. You could have all sorts of grievances. You could have labor versus the foreman, you know. Yep. Be like you said. You said that we didn't have to work this weekend. Then you change your mind and then like basically the judge says no. From the evidence I have, you don't have to work Saturday.

[Miles]

Yeah. Inter squad court cases. That'd be another good one.

[Jared]

And the gavel is just a mallet or something.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It's a sledgehammer.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I know this kind of sounds like a crazy idea, but isn't that exactly what the heads of the unions do?

[Miles]

Yes, it Is it Is.

[Tyler]

But.

[Miles]

But are they going after each other or. We're talking about, like, petty stuff.

[Ryan]

Okay. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Talking about health insurance. Bad. Bad working environment. We're not talking that. We're talking petty grievances. Like he. I know. He ate my son chips at lunch.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Jared]

Small claims.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Little. Small claims.

[Miles]

Quite literally.

[Tyler]

Just. Yeah.

[Miles]

Claims against a co worker.

[Tyler]

You know, the plumbers didn't. Electricians didn't clean up after themselves. You know, stuff like that. Not like, oh, you know, I could die because I'm doing this job. That's. You'll let the unions let the. Oh show. We'll let them handle that.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

We're talking petty grievances.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's like. It's like if the excavating company who did my house, if they like them bringing the drywallers who drove over the drain field and. And crushed it, It'd be like them bringing them to construction core tv.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Or maybe even more petty. Like Dave. Dave was the brace guy. And anytime the excavator would do a job and make the bank too wide from the wall, he would be pissed because then he'd have to extend the braces to be able to get to span it. And he was always pissed about that. Could bring him to construction court tv.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'd watch that. That'd be great. Small town bar television.

[Jared]

The subtitles.

[Ryan]

Forget the Rhode island judge, old man.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Who would be the best celebrity judge for this show?

[Miles]

Probably Mike Rowe.

[Tyler]

Well, but he's gonna be two. It is good. But I feel like we need someone who's a little bit crazier.

[Ryan]

Dave.

[Jared]

You? Miles?

[Tyler]

Dave? Could be. I would. Yeah. I'm just stirring the pot the whole time. Moving goal posts.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah.

[Jared]

Always take the concrete guy's eyes.

[Tyler]

Just my. The record is, is that the plumber has never won a court case.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

In construction court tv.

[Miles]

Yeah. They could do like. You could do like wins and losses records based off of trade. Like concrete guys, you know, they go. They're 13 and 0 right now. They haven't lost, you know, and then the judge gets heat because he's a former concrete guy. There's conflict of interest. And then we go to a vote. You know, do we need to vote someone new? Win.

[Ryan]

Because Miles is the judge. Now all H Vac companies have to change filters because he never sides with the H Vac company.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It's anyone, Anyone that comes in and complains about their H Vac, they just automatically win.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, you didn't change your filter for a Year. I don't care. You win.

[Tyler]

Well, no, it's the. Then I would put it back on the H VAC guys. Like, you guys need to invent something that doesn't rely so heavily on the air filters.

[Miles]

I think they. Now that I think about it, I think they do. It's. It's like some sort of ozone type deal.

[Tyler]

Infrared.

[Miles]

Yeah, something like that.

[Jared]

But crazy expensive.

[Miles]

It is crazy expensive. Yeah. Versus just buying air filters.

[Ryan]

Cheaper than replacing a unit.

[Miles]

Yeah. Me and Milo, we've decided we don't need H VAC guys anymore. We've just decided to take everything into our own hands.

[Ryan]

Hell, yeah.

[Miles]

So we. We got all the air filter. Well, I mean, we changed all the air filters up on the roof.

[Tyler]

I thought maybe it sounded like something bigger than just changing the air filters.

[Jared]

That's pretty big, though.

[Tyler]

It is.

[Miles]

It is huge. Dude, there's seven units up there.

[Tyler]

We had. We had to change out 32 air filters on the roof of this building. Holy.

[Miles]

But, dude, by the end of it, the system we had going, like, I mean, that took. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Ryan would go ahead, he'd open up the unit, get it all opened up. I would come behind, I would change out the filters, then he would come loop back around and close up the.

[Miles]

Unit for me and grab the filters.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

You guys are done like a half hour.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[Miles]

And that was just figuring it out in the first time. The next time is going to be like 15, 10, 15 minutes.

[Ryan]

That's two units per minute.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, yesterday changed all the batteries in the. In the keypad or the touchscreen type deals. Yeah. So we don't get charged $70 per battery next time.

[Tyler]

So things are looking up.

[Miles]

Things are looking great for us. It's gonna be a record profit year because we're saving 70 bucks of battery.

[Tyler]

It adds up.

[Miles]

It does. Yeah.

[Tyler]

We're gonna be here for 30 years. That's true.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Tyler]

So what, twice a year we got to change up the batteries?

[Miles]

Oh, dude, no, it's like. It's like. It's like twice a quarter. It's a lot die quick because the units are so big.

[Tyler]

Holy.

[Miles]

I know.

[Tyler]

So that's 70 bucks. That's 140 bucks a quarter. That's 404 times four. 560 bucks a year over 30 years.

[Jared]

That's 15 grand. 16.

[Ryan]

No, dude. Imagine if you put that in the.

[Tyler]

S. Doubles every seven years.

[Miles]

There's. There's six. There's. There's probably eight. There's probably eight touchscreen deals, and there's four batteries per. So eight times four. 32 total batteries times 70 bucks per AA battery. That's 2200 bucks times what I say twice a quarter, so that's eight times a year. That's almost $18,000 that we save just by you and I take it into our own hands.

[Tyler]

So 70 bucks. So battery.

[Miles]

That's what I feel like. That's what the invoice said.

[Jared]

That's probably just.

[Ryan]

70 cents a battery.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Even $7 a battery.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's insane.

[Ryan]

So.

[Tyler]

Oh. So, yeah. I think it's funny that construction people are always bitching about the other one, but except for H Vac, they got everything coming.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

They'Re always not biased.

[Tyler]

I'd like to be the baby, never the homeowner's fault.

[Miles]

I'd like to be the bailiff in this new TV show.

[Tyler]

I would love for you to be my bailiff.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Jared will be the. What do they call him? The stenographer.

[Jared]

Oh, I couldn't do that, dude.

[Ryan]

But you just record it on your podcast, though.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I would say there's no way he can type fast enough. Have you seen him try Google stuff during the podcast?

[Ryan]

Just record it and then have it run it through a. A captioning system?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah. That's all I gotta do. Yeah. Those stenographers, I don't know how they do it.

[Tyler]

You think we should just record it? Nowadays, we don't even need them.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

I mean, well, like, if you do it.

[Tyler]

If you do a zoom meeting now, it'll just transcribe it in real time. I don't know why we can't just do that for court.

[Miles]

You could be the sketch guy too, Jerry. You could just, like, sketch a picture of the courtroom.

[Jared]

I have terrible. If you think I'm a bad typewriter.

[Miles]

I'm a worse drawer. We gotta get you Etch A Sketch. We got to get you practicing at your sketch.

[Jared]

No, I couldn't do. Would just be stick figures if I. I was doing that with four fingers.

[Tyler]

Well, boys, should we take a break? We got some good stuff coming up.

[Ryan]

Oh, wow.

[Tyler]

We got a photo of Ryan.

[Miles]

Really? I didn't even look at the breakdown. Okay.

[Tyler]

And we also have the spelling bee.

[Ryan]

Hey.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, something that I forgot to tell you guys about was I was at the lake and I was driving the side by side down the road, and I saw a lemonade stand on the side of the road.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah?

[Tyler]

Yeah. And I was excited. I'm glad to see kids are outside. First and foremost. Always nice to See kids outside instead of playing lemonade tycoon on their PC.

[Miles]

Especially battling the smoke, too. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Another. The next thing I saw was they had a black table with, like, a logo on it. And then they also had a sign there with a cool logo and cups with the same logo. And I was like, that's actually kind of cool that you can just, like, buy a lemonade set where then all you got to do is provide the lemonade and you got everything else you need. But then I started thinking a little deeper. Is. Isn't the whole point of a lemonade stand to teach kids, like, how to be creative and solve their own problems?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Instead of the parents just buying them a lemonade kit and then just giving them some sugar and water and some lemons and just say, off.

[Miles]

Maybe that was their. Their. Their reinvestment back into the business. Maybe they did that on a previous lemonade.

[Tyler]

That is true.

[Miles]

You know, and then they.

[Tyler]

That is true. I guess I. I maybe didn't see their. Their bootstrap roots.

[Miles]

Yeah. They could have had handwritten signs for the last, you know, two years. Finally invested.

[Tyler]

It was. It was very funny. There's three kids. There was two girls. One was. One was clearly the oldest. And there was a. A boy who's probably in the middle. So the. The. The oldest girl was just sitting on her phone the whole time.

[Ryan]

Managed. She's the foreman.

[Tyler]

So what was. This is a fancy lemonade stand that you could get a cup of lemonade or you could get some shaved ice. Like. Like flavored ice. What's that called? Like a snow cone? Yeah, yeah, snow cone. And so we ordered a couple lemonades in a snow cone. And just in hilarious fashion, the snow cone machine wasn't working.

[Jared]

Classic.

[Tyler]

It's just like, it doesn't matter where I go. I can't get a shake or a snow cone, because whatever machine is down.

[Miles]

Well, I'm assuming the. The oldest girl was probably on. She was probably on a call with customer support for the snow cone.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So.

[Tyler]

But the. The boy is like, oh, God.

[Miles]

Oh, sure.

[Tyler]

He, like, He. He seemed like he was already 40 years old, the way he's behaving. So there was a long. Because it's a, like, electric thing. It's like a mini Margaritaville machine that just does the shaved ice, essentially. And so he's, like, starts, like, messing with it, and then he runs back to the garage and tinkers with where it's plugged in or something. Then he comes back out and he got it to work.

[Miles]

Nice.

[Tyler]

I t But, yeah, it was. It was pretty good. It's pretty good.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Pretty funny, too. They, like, make the snow cone, and then they just hand it to us and go. We put too much of the, like, flavoring in there. So. And I was like, I don't think that's possible.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I think nothing's worse on a snow cone than one with too little of flavor.

[Jared]

It's just snow.

[Tyler]

Yeah. So, yeah, I. I'm still undecided on whether or not the kit is a cool idea or not.

[Ryan]

I think the kit's a cool idea. If Ryan's right on the reinvesting thing again, maybe they. Maybe they're looking to franchise, so they. They need to. They built their bootstrap one, they raised enough money for kit number one, and now kits two, three, and four are coming. They're gonna have every corner of that lake covered.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Miles]

I mean, imagine if, like, if they want to get into professional sports stadiums to eliminate standing there like that, you know, I don't know.

[Jared]

Maybe they put most of their brain power and branding, like, with the logo.

[Ryan]

And stuff, maybe that's what the old one was tinkering on.

[Tyler]

First thing I thought was they just have too much. They're. They have too much labor there.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Inefficient use, basically.

[Tyler]

There was clearly one person doing most of the work, you know, city workers. Classic city worker situation with this lemonade stand.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

The youngest one didn't do a lick.

[Ryan]

How old? Good. How old do you think the youngest one was?

[Tyler]

The youngest one had to have been, like, seven.

[Ryan]

That's old enough to be helping.

[Miles]

Yeah, more of an apprentice.

[Tyler]

Well, there wasn't enough work. They were over. They were overstaffed. They should have. They should have cut someone early.

[Miles]

Well, I think that the issue is that they're not old enough to pay attention to the weather. They didn't know it was going to be that smoky where less people are going to be outside. So maybe they could actually hire more. They could hire someone to just feed them weather information, like their dad and something, you know?

[Tyler]

And then I started thinking, like, God, if you were going to do a lemonade stand. Right. How would you do it? Well, I'd split the crew into two crews. And their mistake was is they had their stand on a hill. So if you're going for a walk.

[Miles]

Well, that's when you get the most tired, though, is up the hill.

[Tyler]

Or do you want a sweet treat when you go down the hill? Or if people drive by and then they're gonna walk to you. Afterwards, do they want to walk up a hill to get to your thing?

[Miles]

That's true.

[Ryan]

I don't know. I think.

[Tyler]

And if I want a second glass, I now have to walk back up the hill.

[Ryan]

Well, they, they're keeping that in mind. They're like if they want two glasses, they're just gonna get one. Just in case they don't have to walk back up this hill.

[Tyler]

There's, there's a lot going on.

[Ryan]

Did they offer you a subscription box of lemonade at all? That seems right. Everything's going.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Well, they actually had to have. I had to check out on their app.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

That's how it goes. I had to order and check out on the app.

[Ryan]

You could tip right on it.

[Tyler]

Yep. I had to. When I, when I pulled up in the side by side, I had to say which bay I was, which parking spot I was in so that they could run it out to me.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

You know, it takes five minutes for some reason.

[Miles]

Yeah, sorry.

[Ryan]

It's slow.

[Miles]

Yeah, sorry. The, the snow cone machine's broken right now. I'm trying to fix that. They should have had the seven year old on his bike. Just like, I mean we could do like lemonade delivery. So not only you have a physical location, but you can also be delivering.

[Tyler]

That is true.

[Miles]

To, to that part.

[Tyler]

And then put a big flag on the back with their logo and so that, you know, people will visually see it.

[Miles]

Yes. Yeah, we're saying we're kind of morphing the lemonade stand into an ice cream truck.

[Ryan]

I honestly will. The only problem with that is I don't trust a 7 year old to be able to walk to me with a glass of lemonade, let alone ride a bike.

[Miles]

Yeah. And if we're looking to cut costs too, I mean with delivery though, we're going to make up a little there. But having to buy lids, lids and straws, that's going to cut into the bottom line.

[Tyler]

That is true. That is very true. And I don't think the kit comes with straws.

[Ryan]

You know what they should do so.

[Tyler]

The kids aren't going to know what to do.

[Miles]

Yeah, that's true.

[Ryan]

We've got all these restaurants now where you cook your own food. You've got self checkout. They should just sell lemonade kits where they give you a bottle of water, they give you some lemonade powder and they give you some ice and send you on your way.

[Tyler]

That's what, that's what these kids should be doing. They should be like the Cutco salesman.

[Ryan]

Of the lake Yep.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but with lemonade packets. Smart. Very smart. Yeah, I think. Okay. What are these kids doing on the road? We're on the lake. Get on the pontoon and go dock to dock instead of door to door. Yeah, that's actually a really good idea.

[Ryan]

You don't have to worry about foot traffic. You are the foot traffic.

[Tyler]

You be. And what are people doing at the lake? Sitting on their porch and looking at the lake.

[Miles]

Yeah, what are you doing at the lake? You're drinking and drinking in water that.

[Tyler]

You know, if my kid has the entrepreneurial spirit, I'm gonna lead him to that conclusion. I'm not going to tell him. You don't want to. You can't, you can't buy him the lemonade kit. You got to lead him in the right direction to get there.

[Jared]

You can lead a horse to water or whatever that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, I'll lead him. I'll lead him to the water. And if he drinks, he drinks. If he doesn't, he doesn't. But I'm not going to shove his face in the water and, you know, jam water down his throat.

[Miles]

And we can't use the excuse either, like. Well, they're too young to like drive a jet ski or a boat or whatever. We can get one of those. What do they call pedal boats? Yeah. Is it a paddle boat?

[Tyler]

That is true.

[Miles]

Yeah, get one of those.

[Tyler]

Although I was gonna say it sounds like a nice excuse to buy a pontoon.

[Miles]

True.

[Tyler]

Honey, we gotta invest in our son's business.

[Miles]

Yeah. What's a write off right off? You know, eighty thousand dollar write off investors, possibly you.

[Tyler]

How many years would he have to be doing that? Make back his money on an $80,000 pontoon?

[Miles]

I guess it depends. There's a chain of lakes where you're at. So if you.

[Tyler]

I actually think that the. The paddle boat is way better idea in the pontoon. Easier to get in and out of shore.

[Ryan]

Yeah, big time.

[Tyler]

And to roll up to docks. Great idea.

[Jared]

And if you're up, you don't have.

[Miles]

To worry about gas. I mean, the gas is in you.

[Tyler]

Great exercise for.

[Miles]

Yeah, great exercise. They're outside in the sun.

[Jared]

Yeah. If you go out to somebody's doctor, it's gonna be much harder for them to say no than on the road.

[Tyler]

Correct. You just drive by. If you just go up to a dock and you're just sitting there on the dock drinking a beer, what are you gonna say? No.

[Ryan]

What are you gonna tell these kids who just paddle all the way across the lake to you? Actually, we're good. Go to the next one.

[Miles]

Also, let's do a little. I mean, we need add ons, right?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I mean, it's just a quick, easy purchase. The upsell, you could either sell sunscreen by the bottle or you could charge per spray down. You show up someone.

[Tyler]

I don't think I'm gonna let my kids spray down and, and lotion up adults.

[Ryan]

I'm not.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm out on that. Okay, well, nor am I buying that service from a kid.

[Miles]

Okay, we'll just, we'll just, we'll just have, we'll have a pack of, of.

[Tyler]

Any upsell you could have done. That's what you chose.

[Miles]

No. Okay, we're gonna go.

[Tyler]

You could have been like, he's been. You could just have like a case of beer that. He's selling beer by the can.

[Miles]

Well, that legal.

[Jared]

I.

[Miles]

You can't. You know.

[Tyler]

Well, they're buying lemonade.

[Ryan]

It should be illegal to pay for sunscreen applications.

[Tyler]

I think it probably is. No.

[Miles]

Okay. The original idea was you just have a, you have a, you have a case of banana boat spray, sunscreen, whatever. Get some cheap stuff and you just.

[Tyler]

Want a general store on the water then.

[Miles]

Well, not just simple upside, like a guy like you drinking on the. Your picnic table type deal. You probably could use some sunscreen.

[Tyler]

That is true.

[Miles]

If you're. If you're absolutely s. Face, you're gonna buy. You're gonna buy three bottles.

[Tyler]

I'll buy 14. 14 glasses of lemonade. I know, Face.

[Miles]

Well, you bought, you bought 38 bottles of maple syrup from that one guy who reached out.

[Tyler]

That is true. I did buy a lot of maple syrup from that guy.

[Ryan]

That was good.

[Tyler]

It was good.

[Miles]

We still have some.

[Jared]

It's so good. We still have some.

[Tyler]

But the other thing to keep in mind is, is that if you're by the lake, not, not as many people are going to have their wallets. So what you need to do is you need to do a tab system because everyone's going to buy more if they don't have to actually pay for it right now.

[Miles]

Yeah. Then you get them a Venmo count too.

[Tyler]

That's true.

[Miles]

Boat landing being instead of at top of the hill, Boat landing be a great spot.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Would force.

[Miles]

If we're dividing crews up, that is.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Divide and conquer. Yeah. You have a, you have a paddle boat crew. You have a road crew and a landing crew.

[Miles]

Dude, you would run, you'd be running around there.

[Ryan]

Yeah. For people that don't pay their tabs you keep a cinder block and a rope in your paddle boat. Like, is that your anchor? Like, no, that's for people that don't pay their tabs.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know how sick it would be if you had, like, a fleet of paddle boats on your beach? And every morning the kids wake up and, like, go. And they just look like an army of lemonade stands going around. They get the neighbors. By day three of the weekend, they're like, all right, I've had enough fucking lemonade.

[Miles]

That'd be awesome. Like, you'd be running. Yeah. Pretty soon, someone would probably approach you and want you to run. Illegal.

[Ryan]

That's. Paddle boats are easily portable. After the. When people get sick, there's plenty of lakes. You just hop onto the next one.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yep.

[Tyler]

So in other words, I don't think we need to be buying a kit. We need to be buying all this other shit.

[Miles]

Any more details? We need to. We know what the reinvestment plan is.

[Jared]

Yep. We're in the business of making money.

[Miles]

Also, has. Has inflation hit lemonade costs? What'd you pay per glass?

[Jared]

Good question.

[Tyler]

I think it was A$50 for the shave dice and a dollar for the lemonade.

[Miles]

I see what they did there with a buck 50, because you have to give them two. You ain't carrying 50 cents on you. And they're like, ah, we don't change, you know?

[Tyler]

Yeah. So what is this? What is the total?

[Miles]

250.

[Tyler]

So $2, 3. $3.50. I gave him a 10, told him to keep it.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I mean, that's where you make your money. Correct. Business is not off of. You charge 50 cents, people are giving you five bucks for a glass. Keep it. That's. You gotta play on the heartstrings, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's like, for $30, I'll put some vodka in this for you.

[Miles]

Yep. I'll run and get my dad, and he'll. He'll do it.

[Ryan]

So everything and still not legal that doesn't have a liquor license.

[Miles]

I mean, you're just a buddy giving a boost to.

[Tyler]

You know, and that's what. And what you got to do is you got to. You got to always dangle a carrot for the customer for. With. With kids stuff. So, like, you get them the shittiest paddle boat you can find and then have like a. A sign on it saying that you're raising money for a better paddle boat.

[Miles]

That's a great idea.

[Tyler]

But never buy the better paddle boat.

[Miles]

Tips.

[Ryan]

Tips go to better boat on your little jar you have on There.

[Miles]

Yeah. Abd always be dangling.

[Tyler]

That's right. That's what I always say. So if anyone's got kids that are thinking about lemonade stand, you guys could steal any of those ideas. They're pretty good.

[Miles]

Yeah. We ironed everything out right in front of you.

[Tyler]

But don't tell them that's what they're doing. Gotta guide them there.

[Miles]

Yeah. Abdul.

[Tyler]

Jared, you have. You said you have a photo of Ryan.

[Jared]

I have a photo.

[Tyler]

Ryan and I tried to get some information out of you and you said, I'm gonna save it for the podcast. So I am completely in the dark here. So I cannot wait to see this photo of Ryan.

[Jared]

So a patron sent us this.

[Miles]

Is it an actual photo?

[Tyler]

Where. Where are you?

[Jared]

This is.

[Miles]

I'm at the fucking concert.

[Jared]

This is a comedy concert or something in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

[Ryan]

When did you go to Chattanooga?

[Miles]

When did I.

[Tyler]

When you get that?

[Miles]

When have I not been that fucking. Yo.

[Tyler]

When did you have that many veins popping out of your arm?

[Miles]

Holy shit. That's actually pretty accurate.

[Jared]

Whoa.

[Ryan]

I like that. The patrons are on the hunt for people that look like Ryan.

[Miles]

And then to snap a photo when, I mean, it looks like a little bit of zoom on this photo, but I mean, if anything, he's like three or four rows away. Three or four.

[Tyler]

I imagine this is what you look like when you were mud running.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Little beefier or were you skinnier?

[Miles]

This is more so, like powerlifting. Ryan. Mud running was a little bit leaner. A little bit leaner. Much leaner. This is more so like. Yeah. Thousand pound club Ryan. More so like 1500 pounds.

[Tyler]

Also. I didn't know you were such a big Mayhem Mayhem fan wearing a jury. So for those that don't know, there's a. Ryan is wearing a. Looks like a. A dupe of a Michael Jordan jersey, but instead of saying bowls on the front, it says Mayhem.

[Miles]

Yeah. What do you guys think about the double apple watch too? I've been trying that out.

[Ryan]

Is that actually what that is?

[Miles]

Yeah, I bought two of them. I was like, well, I'm not just gonna leave one at home.

[Tyler]

I feel like one is an Apple watch, one is white and what is black? I feel like he's wearing his girlfriends.

[Miles]

So she doesn't.

[Ryan]

It didn't. It didn't fit with her outfit, but she wanted it around.

[Tyler]

Or one's one of those. Whoop.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

Wrist brand wristbands that like track your sleep. And this guy looks like he tracks.

[Miles]

His sleep big time.

[Ryan]

Looks like he tracks his entire dream.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he tracks his Sleep. But then they'll slam 48 beers in a night.

[Miles]

Yeah. And then, yeah, his all like his alter ego when he shit faces made him. And we can't see his fingers because if that's not a whoop band, then he's probably got like an aura.

[Tyler]

Right. And you want to know how I know he's drunk? Because of the little hairs that are.

[Miles]

Sticking out from his sweating a little bit big time.

[Tyler]

Like stuck to his forehead.

[Miles]

Hot air does rise though. And he looks like W. And I would never sit that high at an event like that. I'd be.

[Tyler]

I don't know. We went to that Luke Coles concert. You were basically in the rafters while Ann and I were on the floor.

[Miles]

No, I was just. I was in second row. I was in the second row of the nosebleed. I was in second row of just like back of the floor seat.

[Tyler]

I mean, to us people that. That go to the. That are on the floor. Any seats not on the floor is the nosebleeds. So.

[Miles]

I'll. I'll come. I'll come into work with that. Or I'll come into the podcast next week with that fit on if you want me to.

[Ryan]

Do you have a Mayhem jersey?

[Miles]

Two Apple watches that got lost that night? I was shirtless within the next hour, I think, so I don't have edgers anymore, but I'll wear something similar. No, I don't have two Apple watches. Those got lost too.

[Tyler]

Also, whoever took this photo needs to learn where to focus the camera. They got all the focus on the guy's head.

[Miles]

Dude, that's actually wild how. And I can't. Yeah, I can't grow.

[Ryan]

That's kind of cross eyed.

[Jared]

Looks like he stared at the camera, like pissed off.

[Miles]

Yeah, he's. He's. He's also. I mean, he's an absolute snarl right away from a unibrow.

[Jared]

A pixel away.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's just shadows.

[Miles]

You think so?

[Tyler]

Yeah, I just thought that was funny.

[Miles]

That's crazy. We sent that in.

[Jared]

Find a quick ad up here. Shout out, Biggie Beer gut.

[Miles]

Yeah, shout out, Biggie B.

[Tyler]

All right, Jared, we now have the long awaited annual spelling bee coming up. Okay. He came prepared. Do you see that? He's.

[Miles]

Dude, he pulled out materials for this since Monday.

[Tyler]

Now the question is, did we get a yellow jacket or not?

[Jared]

What do you think?

[Tyler]

I mean, I probably told you that that's the only thing you got to do between now and the spelling bee.

[Jared]

Well, you said that and you wanted to make a dealer in the old deal style with 25 models standing in here.

[Miles]

I do remember that proposal.

[Tyler]

And so bring in the models.

[Jared]

Not this year, Jared.

[Tyler]

You gotta do one and then they'll all walk in.

[Jared]

Yeah. So.

[Tyler]

Yeah. What else did. I did? Those are the stipulations. We have to get a gold jacket and models. Was there anything else I said.

[Jared]

I was thinking about? You said we wanted to be like who wants to be a millionaire? So you guys could call somebody, but I didn't really know how to work that out in my brain. How that would work for you guys to call somebody and not to cheat.

[Ryan]

We just call someone. Oh, have them not cheat.

[Tyler]

Right, Got it.

[Ryan]

We could just all agree upon the person.

[Miles]

You'd have to FaceTime and it would be like.

[Jared]

Yeah, I was battling if it should be like a 15 second timer, but I don't know. I didn't think would work.

[Ryan]

So, like, if Ryan wants to call someone, me and Miles have to agree that that person's okay to call. We don't think they'll cheat.

[Tyler]

You know what, Jared? You're kind of starting to sound like the pga. Just resistance to change.

[Jared]

Well, there's a change.

[Tyler]

Sounds like the mlb.

[Jared]

There is a slight change. This year, I put all the names in a hat, and I'm gonna pick them one by one instead of just picking and choosing off the sheets.

[Miles]

All the names, all the words. Okay.

[Ryan]

I was gonna say he's got a specific pocket in that hat. For the I. E. E, I. Words for you.

[Tyler]

Miles, don't. God, I forgot about that.

[Miles]

All right, who has the jacket?

[Tyler]

All right, so what are the rules again, Jared? The. For the. The annual. You bet your radio spelling bee. What are the rules?

[Jared]

Double elim.

[Tyler]

Double elimination. What happens if all three people get eliminated on the same round? Is everyone back in?

[Jared]

Yeah. Yeah, that's been the rules.

[Miles]

Or how about the last person gets in? It's just like dodgeball. If you. If you.

[Jared]

Yeah, you always. We do this every.

[Miles]

I know, I know, I know.

[Tyler]

So Tyler goes. Gets it wrong. I get it wrong. Ryan wins.

[Miles]

No, you can get two wrongs. And if I get it wrong, if that's our second time getting it wrong for all of us in one round, then what I say is we each get another word, and if you get. If you get it right, you're back in.

[Tyler]

Well, if. If all fail, no one fails. So if there's only two people left and we both get it wrong on that round, then we do it.

[Ryan]

We just keep going. Okay.

[Tyler]

Until there's one man standing. Okay. With the yellow jacket. Who won? What? What's the record? Who's all one?

[Jared]

You won the first year, Miles.

[Miles]

All one?

[Ryan]

I think so.

[Jared]

Ryan won the second year, Tyler won the third year, and Ryan won the fourth year. So this is our fifth year doing this.

[Ryan]

Holy.

[Tyler]

So wait, you're two time champ? Yeah.

[Jared]

Two time.

[Tyler]

Okay, how are we deciding the order of who goes first?

[Jared]

Winner usually goes first. That's what we.

[Tyler]

Okay, so Ryan's up first, and we go in a. Clockwise or counterclockwise? I mean, these are things. Questions you gotta foresee, Jared.

[Miles]

I also think losers go.

[Tyler]

This is our fifth year doing this.

[Miles]

Loser should. Or winner of last year should go last because then they can kind of.

[Jared]

You know, We've been doing winter first every day.

[Miles]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Why fix what's not broken? This is not. It's not broken at all.

[Ryan]

It is. It's perfect. Perfect. I don't see anything.

[Tyler]

Are we going counter or. Or regular clock?

[Jared]

We'll go clockwise.

[Tyler]

Okay, so we're Me, Tyler, Miles. Got it.

[Jared]

All right, Pick the first word here. It's not a really good shake. Misspell.

[Miles]

I. In a previous year, I got this wrong. God damn it.

[Ryan]

Okay. Headphone warning.

[Miles]

Say it. Will you say it again?

[Jared]

Misspell.

[Miles]

How did I spell it last time? Misspell. M I Spll. Misspell.

[Tyler]

Is there two S's?

[Jared]

So you've gotten that right once. You got it right last year. The year before. You misspelled.

[Ryan]

Misspelled.

[Jared]

So this is your one and two on misspell.

[Tyler]

You've misspelled it two out of three times.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Tyler]

All right. I shouldn't be laughing because I'm still having to go.

[Jared]

So Tyler next.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Jared]

Testosterone. Testosterone.

[Ryan]

Okay. T E S T E R O N E. Testosterone.

[Jared]

Incorrect.

[Miles]

Testerone.

[Ryan]

Oh, I missed the toss.

[Miles]

Yeah, you missed ost.

[Ryan]

I did. I did.

[Jared]

Yep. You missed that one.

[Ryan]

I spelled it.

[Miles]

We are stung.

[Ryan]

We're dumb. I. I spelled it right in my head and then just forgot three letters. Testerone, baby.

[Jared]

Testerone.

[Miles]

Eat that. Testerone boost.

[Tyler]

We have Ms. Pel and Testerone so far. Let's see what I cook up.

[Jared]

All right, Miles. Mischievous. Mischievous.

[Miles]

No, the words. Mischievous.

[Tyler]

Mischievous.

[Jared]

You got this.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Okay.

[Jared]

You got this.

[Tyler]

Say it again.

[Jared]

Mischievous.

[Tyler]

Misch. God. EI V I O U S. Was. Was that even close?

[Jared]

It was M I S C H I E V O U S.

[Miles]

I.

[Tyler]

Before E. Exceptios is. Wow. I spelled it.

[Ryan]

You add an extra I at the end, too.

[Tyler]

All right, we're all still Good.

[Ryan]

Hey, Strike. Strike ones.

[Miles]

Okay, now we go.

[Tyler]

I was at least the closest.

[Miles]

I mean, that was only one letter.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's true. That was a hard word.

[Miles]

That was.

[Ryan]

It was.

[Miles]

I would have had no clue.

[Ryan]

Definitely harder than misspelling testosterone.

[Jared]

There are some easier ones this year.

[Tyler]

So also, are you pulling out of the same hat?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

So he got misspelled the first one. And I got an IE one first, and I still got it wrong.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Tyler]

That is horseshit. I'm calling for the committee to look into this.

[Miles]

Until I got testosterone after being low T. This is.

[Ryan]

This is Jared.

[Tyler]

How many hats Got Just one.

[Jared]

All right, Ryan. Assassination. Assassination.

[Miles]

We got to stop with these double S words. Assassination. ASA s S I n I T I o n. Assassination.

[Jared]

Incorrect. A s, s. A s S I.

[Ryan]

N. A T I, o, n. You almost spelled ascension.

[Miles]

I. I didn't say a T I.

[Tyler]

O, n. So if. If one of us gets this next one right, you're done.

[Jared]

You're done, you're done.

[Miles]

It's ass.

[Tyler]

Ass.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Ass.

[Jared]

Ass.

[Tyler]

Didn't last year. Didn't Ryan win with one correct word?

[Ryan]

I think so.

[Tyler]

We are headed for that right now.

[Ryan]

That's it. I think that's right. All right, Tyler, hit me Q.

[Jared]

Like a Netflix.

[Tyler]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

Q, U, E, U, E. Got it. Q. Yep.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Got it. So easy. So if I get this wrong, right, Tyler wins.

[Ryan]

Hell, yeah.

[Jared]

All right, Miles. Biscuit.

[Miles]

It's easy, too.

[Jared]

Biscuit.

[Tyler]

B, I, S, Q, U.

[Ryan]

You good?

[Tyler]

It's. What is it?

[Jared]

B I, s, C, U, I, T. Biscuit.

[Tyler]

Why did I think there was a Q?

[Ryan]

Because of Bisquick, the pancake mix.

[Tyler]

All right, Tyler wins. Why did I. Yeah, I definitely was thinking bisque.

[Ryan]

You totally are thinking bisquake.

[Miles]

Did you. You have pancake. Have you had pancakes lately? I could die.

[Tyler]

Me diet. I bet. Yeah. I mean, I've had pancakes sooner than I have spelled biscuit. That is the dumbest. Is it B I, s, Q, U, I T, or is there another E in there somewhere?

[Ryan]

Bisquick.

[Miles]

No, Bisquick is.

[Tyler]

Why do you spell biscuit?

[Jared]

B I s. C, U, I, T. Yeah, just.

[Ryan]

You had it. All right. You just swapped the C and the Q.

[Miles]

You should have just spelled bisquick and be like, I was. I. I was spelling the wrong word. I gotta go back. I gotta go back.

[Jared]

Wow. I think Tyler wins.

[Ryan]

Hell, yeah.

[Tyler]

That.

[Miles]

What a show.

[Tyler]

I mean, that was my biggest blunder. I. I don't even have an excuse for that. That was just full blown. I was thinking about biz quiz.

[Ryan]

Is it pancake brain?

[Miles]

Oh, my God. Can we redo do that?

[Tyler]

Can we. Can we run it back?

[Jared]

We can. I have 20 words, so we can.

[Tyler]

So we got through six words.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Tyler]

That is so bad. And the one word with Q. Yep. A word with three letters in it.

[Jared]

Three.

[Ryan]

Five.

[Tyler]

No, there's only three separate letters in the whole word.

[Jared]

That's a tricky one, though.

[Tyler]

That was bad. That was really bad.

[Ryan]

Because it could have been Q, C.

[Tyler]

U, E. I'm actually pretty mad about getting that word wrong.

[Ryan]

Ryan lost it.

[Miles]

I came back. Straight face, though.

[Ryan]

Yeah. After, like, a minute like this, you were just, like, vibrating.

[Tyler]

I had Q on the brain.

[Miles]

Have you ever seen Seabiscuit? The movie?

[Tyler]

No.

[Jared]

See, that would have helped.

[Miles]

That would have helped. It's a good movie.

[Jared]

She done another round?

[Miles]

Yeah. And I think if Miles and I both get ours right, then. Then it resets so Tyler doesn't win.

[Tyler]

It also goes to show, you don't need spelling to be successful in life.

[Miles]

No, that's right. Also, if you're a good speller, then that's more. You have to help your kid.

[Tyler]

I think that spelling words correctly is actually a detriment to success. You're wasting time on menial things like spelling.

[Miles]

If you're adding it. Yeah. If you're adding an extra letter, it's just more time.

[Tyler]

If you're not using autocorrect, you are wasting time.

[Miles]

Even autocorrect doesn't spell right. It just changes it up on you.

[Tyler]

This is. This is some bad showings for me.

[Jared]

You did so well the first year.

[Tyler]

I know. I'm getting. I'm getting. I'm definitely getting dumber. I can tell you that much. Hey, I just spelled biscuit with a Q. Dumber.

[Miles]

D, U, M, M, E, R.

[Tyler]

All right, let's throw some more words.

[Ryan]

Ryan did that.

[Tyler]

Let's go. Rapid fire. Since it doesn't matter because Tyler already won.

[Ryan]

Play the music.

[Jared]

All right, Ryan. Facility.

[Miles]

F, A, C, I, L, I, T, Y. Facility.

[Jared]

Got it.

[Tyler]

Tyler, go.

[Ryan]

Hey.

[Jared]

One sec. Diabetes.

[Ryan]

D, I, A, B, E, T, E, S. Diabetes.

[Jared]

All right. Privilege.

[Tyler]

P, R, I, V, I, L, A.

[Jared]

G. There's no way.

[Tyler]

What is it?

[Jared]

P, R, I, V, I, L, E.

[Tyler]

G, E. Oh, really?

[Miles]

That's. That's a tough one.

[Tyler]

I'm gonna be honest. I don't think that's how you spell that word. I think how I spelled it is how you spell it.

[Ryan]

I Google it.

[Jared]

Right. Right.

[Tyler]

I'm all for three. No, these guys. I need to get one Right. Keep firing them at me until I get one. Right.

[Jared]

Synonym. Like it's the same type of wor One. Not the. Not like apple, crisp, cinnamon. It's like the grammar thing. Synonym.

[Miles]

Like same.

[Jared]

Same. Yep.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Tyler]

S, Y, N, O, N, YM Got it.

[Ryan]

Nailed it.

[Tyler]

There we go.

[Ryan]

Hey, I think we should give one to Jared.

[Jared]

Yeah, sure.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I'm not a good speller, but try it.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You. Jeremy. I can't just do one off the dome. We'll ask GPT. I'll do, like, a medium hard one.

[Ryan]

I got one for you to start. Mortician.

[Jared]

M O, R T I, C, I.

[Ryan]

A, N. Yeah, you got it.

[Tyler]

Yes.

[Miles]

That was way too easy.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Tyler]

I asked GBT for a hard word to spell, and it gave me flock and non philippi. Location. Can't even say it.

[Ryan]

Okay, you got.

[Miles]

You got one or you want me to go?

[Tyler]

I want. Your word is conscientious.

[Jared]

Ooh. C, O, N, S. C, I, E, N, C, O, U, S.

[Miles]

Wrong.

[Jared]

It's a tough one.

[Tyler]

You add an extra E. I think I remember what you said. You had an extra E. How you spell it? C O, N, S. C, I, E, N, T I, O, U, S. Oh.

[Jared]

There'S T in there then.

[Tyler]

You didn't add a T. Okay, I.

[Miles]

Got one for you.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

Facade.

[Jared]

F, A, C, A, D, E. I.

[Tyler]

Know all these other words. All right, one more. Jared.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

We'Re waiting. We're waiting. W, A, I, T, B, I, N, G. Spell Bureaucracy.

[Jared]

B U, E, C, E, R A, C, Y.

[Ryan]

All right.

[Tyler]

B U, R. Oh, there's an R, E, A U, C, R, A, C, Y. All right, so we all are equally bad spellers.

[Jared]

Yeah, we are.

[Tyler]

But Ryan or Tyler is the new champ. The new reigning champ. Ryan, you gotta hand off the yellow jacket this year. So you've won two. You've won two and I've won one. Thank God I won that first year. I don't think I'll ever win again.

[Miles]

I mean, we progressively have just been getting so much worse.

[Ryan]

Significant.

[Miles]

I think we like. It was a pretty good showing year one.

[Tyler]

I think he's also picking harder.

[Ryan]

I don't think he is.

[Jared]

Biscuit.

[Ryan]

I. I genuinely think the words have gotten easier.

[Tyler]

I will admit that was bad. That was. That was. That's one I won't. I'll try and scrub that from the Internet when my kid becomes of age. I don't need him thinking less of me.

[Jared]

Okay. I'll bleep that whole thing out.

[Tyler]

Well, no, you don't have to Bleep it out for like 10 years. Okay, so you'll re. Upload a new one 10 years from now. Just bleep that part out just so he never can. He can never find out.

[Miles]

Okay. Okay. This will determine whether we're getting dumber or smarter. Miles, this word's for you. Beige. This is the nail in the coffin. Last year.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah. A year or two ago.

[Tyler]

Yeah. B E, I G E. There we go.

[Miles]

There we go. There we go. A quick little IQ test. We're on the up and up.

[Tyler]

Anyone? Anyone after this want to go get some Bisquick and gravy? That was really dumb. I just. There's no other way to put it. We. We basically handed that to Tyler and the pl.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, after I spelled testerone, you just gave it to me.

[Tyler]

I know. Next year. Remind me, Jared. Okay, so now this is the portion where we talk about next year for next year. So next year I. I need you to remind me to not talk. Talk to anyone because I laughed at both of them and then I got biscuit wrong. So remind me. This is just a little note to not make fun of anyone until after I win. Secondly, I'd like the words to be a little easier. I think. I think we should do a like a buildup scale.

[Miles]

Yes, they should.

[Tyler]

You can't just whip out the hardest words right away. It just kills our comp.

[Jared]

Essentially my first thought was to do that and I was like, I'll just do the names in the hat thing.

[Ryan]

So, you know, you should do.

[Tyler]

You know, it's like football teams, they always put their, like, easiest game right at the beginning of the season just to build confidence going into the season. You know, like Alabama plays North Tech, you know?

[Jared]

Sure. So maybe like a easy hat, a medium hat.

[Ryan]

Totally. Just go like go. 8th grade, spelling words. 10th grade, senior year.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

And you gotta also remember that this is. This is an entertainment show. Jared and us getting five out of six wrong is if people won't. Don't want to tune in for that.

[Jared]

You're right. You're right.

[Tyler]

You know, like, that's why, you know, college football is a lot more fun sometimes. It's like you just get 50 point games left and right. So I think, you know, if. If we were the mlb, we would throw in a juiced ball next. Yeah, we juice it up. We'd allow cork bats. We' have steroids. Be legal. That's next year is the year of the be. Yeah, I want you to say that next year I want you to Say this is the year of the be, and the first four rounds are going to be easy words like car. It's. I mean, you want to go to a home run derby and see strikeouts.

[Ryan]

I mean, I wonder if we did, like, third. Third grade spelling B words, how long it would take for one of us to get it wrong and the embarrassment that would follow.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I, I. Yeah, I just think.

[Jared]

So we should do a B derby next year.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we just got. We just got too many pitching duels going on right now, and we need this to be a home run battle.

[Miles]

Yeah. Like, here's. This is third grade weekly spelling words week. 24 family children.

[Tyler]

That's a good tier one.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah, that's tier one.

[Jared]

I'll keep that in mind.

[Tyler]

So you're gonna need three hats.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Easy, medium, and hard. Tier one, two, or three, however you want to label it. Yeah, I think that's all the changes I'd like to make for next year. I'd also like us to get a yellow jacket.

[Jared]

Okay. Five years in the making, and I'd.

[Tyler]

Like to be there to be a black patch, you know, kind of like a B color scheme, but not, like, striped. That's too on the nose.

[Jared]

Right.

[Tyler]

It's a black patch with an emblem that says annual YVR Spelling Bee champion.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

And then down the sleeve, I'd like to have the years and the name of the person that's won it. And I think it should start with like, like, like, let's just say we start with year one and go down. It's just like, it should look someone like an inverse pyramid. It's like the first year, the name should be the biggest. And then as it goes down, it just gets smaller to where you almost need a magnifying glass to read it on the sleeve would be nice. And also, it's like, whoever won the first one, I don't remember who it was. Like, they should probably, like, like, get their face embroidered on it somewhere with, like, a crown on their head. Kind of the father of the bee. This, you know, they named the Lombardi trophy.

[Jared]

Oh, true.

[Tyler]

So whoever won, we should just name the jacket that person's name. So this. These are just simple things that I want to see done for next year.

[Jared]

Okay. And now Tyler has next year.

[Miles]

I'd like to see triple. Triple Elim as well.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I would, too.

[Jared]

Okay. Triple.

[Ryan]

So that we can go eight for nine.

[Miles]

Well, then we just have three more chances.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

Yeah, we're going triple E. LIM Entertainment show.

[Tyler]

I'm trying to entertain. Trying to hit home runs.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I think you have to pick the dinner now for Tyler.

[Tyler]

And we're about one spelling bee away from being able to get. Get one mess up. So you get a second crack at them. We're not doing that this year. We'll see how next year goes.

[Miles]

I'm all again, yeah, like who wants to be millionaires? Like, you can use your one mess up and then you can. Like that gets crossed out.

[Tyler]

We're one year away. Maybe we'll see. It's. It's being tossed around in the ether of like, should we add a. If you knew it, but you got it wrong. Yeah, you can just like you can hit the. But you can hit the nut button. Entertainment means that you get to go back in.

[Miles]

Yeah, I. I knew. I knew it. But I got wrong. If I focus a little bit more, I got it right.

[Jared]

Right.

[Miles]

That type of deal. Because entertainment.

[Tyler]

I was watching a tick tock live last night of a guy who. He races marbles down a track and it's called like Cactus Canyon track. And everyone that got last would get eliminated until there was only one. Well, it just kept going on for. I watched for like a half hour. It just kept going on because the rule was that you could buy a baby dragon on the TikTok live and bring one of the marbles back to life after they were eliminated and it just went on. Yeah. So we should shoot it live and then if anyone sends baby dragons, they get to choose that person to give them an extra life. That. That's. I don't either. That one's.

[Miles]

Yeah. Entertainment.

[Tyler]

That one's just getting tossed around. You know, you're right.

[Jared]

I'll do better next year.

[Tyler]

We would hope. I. I'll do better next year too. I. I don't think I can get worse than this year. This is my worst showing by far. Well, is that it? You got a fun fact or no?

[Jared]

Oh, I do. Yeah. Sorry. Completely forgot.

[Tyler]

Just turn into the Jared show, for crying out loud.

[Jared]

Okay. Oh, crap. Just had it. Worker worker bees live for about two to four weeks in the summer. But if they hatch late and are part of the hive that remains for the winter, they live up to 11 months. These winter bees are called dying ditinis, a Latin word that means long lasting.

[Tyler]

So you want to be born in the fall?

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

Born. Born late. Live long.

[Tyler]

Imagine living for two to four weeks. Like how much you got jam in like the places you. You gotta. You know, it's like how fast you gotta go through your bucket list.

[Ryan]

It's so hard to finish. Game of Thrones in two weeks.

[Tyler]

Game of Thrones. Seeing the pyramids.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And I'm not just talking about the ones in Giza. I'm talking about the ones in. Made by the Aztecs as well.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You d. You damn near got to find a partner right out of the womb.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You got to be.

[Ryan]

Day one, you want to die a.

[Tyler]

Virgin because you want to have a little bit of retirement. You know, you can't just be raising kids your whole life.

[Miles]

Yeah. You don't want to be the 12 day virgin and then die two years later.

[Tyler]

12 day.

[Miles]

Because that's all your bucket list consists of is getting that queen bee. Get.

[Tyler]

I don't. I don't. Bees don't, do they?

[Miles]

No idea.

[Tyler]

Isn't the queen just lay eggs?

[Ryan]

Well, something needs to fertilize the eggs. I don't know if they're fertilized before they come out of here or if the bees fertilize them after.

[Jared]

Yeah, the drone. Drone bee. Male bees whose primary role is to mate with a queen. They do not gather food or contribute to hive maintenance, as opposed to the worker bees.

[Ryan]

Jesus.

[Miles]

So she's the Bonnie Blue of bees.

[Tyler]

Body Blue of bees. A great band name.

[Ryan]

It's just getting hive run on her.

[Tyler]

What's up, guys? I'm Bonnie Blue, and we're gonna do the beehive challenge today.

[Ryan]

Bonnie.

[Miles]

The blue bees.

[Tyler]

So they do.

[Ryan]

They. They do be.

[Jared]

I didn't know there's this many type of bees either.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, there's. It's a whole. It's a whole hive.

[Miles]

Yeah. We're not even gonna start talking about wasps. That's a whole.

[Tyler]

I don't know. I don't get wasps.

[Miles]

Don't even mention the name hornet, because that's a whole different Hornet's nest.

[Ryan]

Would go down about yellow jackets.

[Miles]

Dude, do not.

[Jared]

What about don't say yellow jacket in front of Miles.

[Ryan]

Yeah, sorry. Still triggering.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of the you Bet yout Radio podcast. We love you, and we'll see you in the next one. Until next year, Spelling bee. Oh, you betcha. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Would you rather have to physically skip to every destination you would otherwise walk to, or would you rather have to do the Michael Jackson after anytime you order food?

[Tyler]

Because it's gonna get a laugh for sure every time.

[Miles]

Yeah. And I.

[Tyler]

And nothing's better than, you know, goofing around with the waiter or waitress. Yeah.

[Miles]

I don't even think you need to explain yourself. After you do it either. It's just. It's kind of just a funny bit.

[Tyler]

Tell you what, though, you're gonna be feeling pretty fabulous if you skip everywhere.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's like, can you be in a bad mood while you're skipping?

[Miles]

That's what I like.

[Tyler]

Like, imagine being piss. Something like, let's say, you know, Ryan's across the warehouse and he says something to me, it pissed me off, and I'm going to run after him. Imagine being mad while skipping over to try and beat the out of you.

[Miles]

Yeah, by the time you catch me, you're going to be over it. You're going to be smiling.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm just going to be. It's like kind of like riding a jet ski. You can't be mad while riding a jet ski.

[Miles]

Yeah, I feel like it's kind of like trying to sneeze with your eyes open. Like, you. I don't think you can skip without smiling, so.

[Jared]

So if you're ever pissed off, start skipping.

[Miles]

Just start skipping.

[Tyler]

There's also no manly way to skip.

[Jared]

No.

[Tyler]

I have yet to see someone skip in a manly way.

[Miles]

If we're talking like, you know, like the high. Like the high knees.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we're not. We're not talking. We're not talking calisthenics.

[Miles]

Okay. I mean, that. That's. That's the close.

[Tyler]

We're talking playground skipping.

[Miles]

Yeah. Then you're right.

[Jared]

Put your head side aside.

[Miles]

Good.

[Tyler]

Like that.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not going to skip the time cross.

[Tyler]

I'll do the double quarter pounder with cheese with fries. It's funny. I actually might start doing that.

[Miles]

Yeah, and then you, like, you forget to order a ranch. Ah, can I get a thing of ranch with that, too?

[Tyler]

It's funny. I'm absolutely choosing that.

[Ryan]

That.

[Jared]

Or yeah, you're just on door dash and you're just using the app, but every time you hit place order, you go.

[Tyler]

You have to message. You have to message the door dash driver and just say he.

[Jared]

He.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. Hey. Yeah. What would you like? Oh, you want to. How would you like your steak down? I like a medium rare. All right. What you. What would you like for a side all. I'll do the mashed potatoes. Well, you actually get two sides with that, so you can pick another one. Okay, well, I'll do the steamed vegetables as well. Okay. And then what would you like to drink? I'll do. I'll do it oldfashioned. Like, I mean, depending on what you order, you could get Five, six, seven of them out in one in. In one shot.

[Jared]

Yeah. And over the course of a dinner, it could be 10 if you get appetizers.

[Tyler]

End correct.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Another drink?

[Miles]

Yeah. Another drink. Yep. Yeah. You run out of ranch, you got to order more ranch. The bill. I mean the bill too.

[Jared]

Got to do the bill and the mint.

[Miles]

Yeah. The little Andes.

[Tyler]

You don't order it yet.

[Miles]

No, I know, I know.

[Jared]

But N R Johnson. Who would win in a times. Who would win in a times table SL division table matchup?

[Tyler]

I. I'm not a fast test taker, so probably not me. But we should do it.

[Miles]

We should do it because I used to run train on. On the class and those things.

[Jared]

There's always that one kid, though. Just go crazy.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And just same with like keyboard class. Like, there's a one kid and it's like, how you doing it that fast?

[Tyler]

You.

[Jared]

That's not sustainable.

[Tyler]

I was. I was probably bottom 30% every time. I was not last, but I definitely wasn't in the middle. Was right in between.

[Miles]

Do you guys. How was that grade? Was it. How was that graded again? Because you just got. Was it one minute to fill out, like, all of the answers?

[Tyler]

As many as you could.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

And then you fill out. You get one minute to fill out as many as you can. And then.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

If you. Then they grade them so everyone. You didn't even attempt you get one wrong. Sure.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

And then if you got them wrong, they'd mark them wrong.

[Miles]

We should do that.

[Jared]

Seems like a bad system doing it times like that.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean, especially now. We just don't. I mean, quick, quick multiplication. We. You should be able to do. Because there's many. It's way easier. But even that, you still probably could do it just fast if you went down your phone.

[Jared]

What's nine times five?

[Miles]

45.

[Jared]

Hey, Ryan won that one.

[Tyler]

I wasn't even listening. Give me another one.

[Jared]

8 times 7.

[Miles]

56.

[Tyler]

56. See, I'm just. Yeah, you're, you know, a quarter of a second behind.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

5. 5.

[Tyler]

25. That was me.

[Miles]

That's tie. I think.

[Jared]

10, 12.

[Miles]

120.

[Tyler]

120.

[Jared]

11 times 11.

[Miles]

11.

[Tyler]

121. 121.

[Miles]

121.

[Jared]

There you go.

[Tyler]

No. 122.

[Jared]

121.

[Tyler]

121.

[Miles]

Yep. 1 times 1 is 1. Square. Square root of 12.

[Ryan]

3.

[Jared]

No. 6.

[Tyler]

No. Square root of 144 is 12.

[Miles]

Yep. Yep.

[Tyler]

That's what you meant.

[Miles]

Yep. There you go.

[Jared]

Stupid prime Numbers.

[Tyler]

That was idiotic, Ryan. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Let's do a square root table.

[Jared]

Barb Dwyer.

[Tyler]

It's a square root of 49.

[Miles]

7.

[Jared]

He's dialed in.

[Tyler]

Is this your states and caps?

[Miles]

Kind of, yeah. I mean, I, I, I, I got 100 on states and caps. I just wasn't super fast at it.

[Jared]

You got 100?

[Miles]

Oh, yeah. Oh, easy. That's not timed, though.

[Tyler]

I mean, he had to study.

[Jared]

I didn't have to.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah, I studied technically.

[Jared]

Technically, Technically, every class is timed, so that's true.

[Miles]

Like 52 minutes or 48 minutes or something.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Well, now, don't they do, like, hour and a half with less of them?

[Miles]

Yeah. Four classes a day. I don't know. No wonder that younger generation is the way it is, a block system.

[Tyler]

And then, like, we'd have like a, Like a pep rally, you know, that would take like an hour and a half. Half at the end of the day. So every class was, like, 28 minutes long.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's the best.

[Tyler]

And the first, like, eight minutes of each class is either start, like, getting into it, and then there's, like, a wind down. So essentially every class was like 12 minutes.

[Miles]

Yeah. Well, it's great when you had classes that taught by, like, one of this, One of the coaches of one of the best, like basketball, football, whatever, because, I mean, you, you were smoking and joking about the game for the first 10 minutes.

[Tyler]

Well. And on game day, they're like. Yeah. Just watch. Moving.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Dialed into what South High is doing.

[Miles]

Yeah, they're. Yeah, they're getting game plans ready to go.

[Jared]

And do you guys like pep rallies or no?

[Miles]

Yeah, I loved them.

[Jared]

Just to get out of class.

[Tyler]

The pep rally itself was dumb.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

But just. Yeah. Just being in a auditorium or a gym with your buddies is always a good time.

[Miles]

Yeah. A lot of shenanigans going on at pep rallies.

[Tyler]

Well, so many shenanigans.

[Miles]

We couldn't go under the bleachers in our school, though, could we? You? Yeah, No, I was never underneath the bleachers, kid. I, I got to, like, age 13, and I'm like, I better not go on to the bleachers. Good decision made by me.

[Jared]

What would happen under there?

[Miles]

I don't know.

[Tyler]

Just hanging from the chest.

[Miles]

Yeah. Climbing up, sticking bubble gum everywhere. Yeah. You know, experimentation.

[Tyler]

Just finding old, like, gym kickballs and.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

Around all the dangerous metal.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And then you find your buddy who's sitting in the bleachers, and you poke them in the butt.

[Miles]

Yep. Yep. Yeah. You're like, you're.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You find, like, an old, like, broomstick, and you shove it up your buddy's ass who's sitting on the bleachers.

[Jared]

Give it oil change.

[Miles]

Yeah. You're trying to. You're trying to, like, step around like the Copenhagen. Choose that.

[Jared]

The old programs.

[Miles]

Yeah, old programs.

[Tyler]

Once in a while, you get some pop popcorn.

[Miles]

Yep. Yep.

[Tyler]

It's a nice little snack.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Was the best.

[Tyler]

And then you'd always, at one point, do, like, a. A race to the other side, and you had, like. Because, you know, there's, like, the metal thing ground.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You had to do, like, the high knees through them all.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Very dangerous down there.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And then you just start climbing on.

[Jared]

It's like monkey bars.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I mean, it's like. It's a. It's a teenage playground is what it is. You know, you could be smoking. Smoking weed down there, or you could be, like, cleaning up, helping save the environment.

[Jared]

It'd be such a bold choice. Smoking weed under there during a pep route.

[Miles]

I mean, it's just going straight up through the bleachers, like, that's why. Yeah. Behind the egg shop is the spot.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]
