Miles
Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the you bet your radio podcast. We're back. We're live. We're in the studio. Tyler's a ball of energy today.
Ryan
Is that sarcastic?
Miles
I don't know.
Tyler
Three seconds into the pod.
Miles
I just feel like at any moment, if you say Tyler's a ball of energy, it's going to be funny.
Ryan
Yeah, that's why I laugh.
Miles
There's very few times in Tyler's life he's a ball of energy.
Ryan
No, what gets you excited? Like, what's something that really pumps you up? That, like, within us as a group.
Tyler
Oh.
Ryan
Because I think a lot of stuff that gets you pumped up is when we're not around.
Tyler
Yeah. I was just gonna say mostly when the group breaks apart.
Ryan
Correct.
Tyler
That gets me pumped up.
Miles
It gets really pumped at lunch.
Tyler
Yeah. And I can. I can just go by myself and eat my lunch.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
He also gets doubly pumped when you ask him about his lunch.
Tyler
I sure do.
Ryan
Chicken parm today.
Miles
I almost did it today. I didn't. Tyler.
Tyler
I wouldn't have responded. I'd have just kept walking.
Miles
So what. What's the number one thing that gets Tyler pumped? As someone who's never pumped.
Tyler
Vila? Rewards points.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
Those get me pumped. Jared gave me his villa rewards points today. That was sick.
Miles
What the. I gotta start holding an auction for all for. We gotta start doing, like, a velo rewards auction and. Okay, whoever gets it gets the extra ones. There you go.
Ryan
I think each point is probably worth, like, a sixteenth of a penny.
Tyler
Pretty much.
Miles
Well, you do more so, like, tasks, you know, like, hey, Ryan wants it. He'll clean Jared's desk for him. You know, stuff like that.
Tyler
Sure.
Miles
It doesn't make sense to exchange money for it. It's not that much money. Right. You know, I get.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
The funny thing is I'll bring leftover lunch for Jared one day, you know?
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You can have some of my leftovers.
Ryan
Leftovers like, that are on the verge of, like, needing to be thrown away.
Jared
And needed to be like, leftover soup.
Miles
It's like. And the other day just pulls out a giant veggie tray that we're supposed to eat at the lake with some people, but we forgot it at home. And she's like, this is going to go bad in a few days, so eat up, buddy. So I'm just throwing peas in my mouth. Celery, carrots, whatever. And, like, by the time I got to dinner, I was like, I'm full. Yeah, almost all that veggie tray.
Jared
I never go for the veggie tray at any event.
Miles
Really. Because I don't know what it is about that dip on veggie tray.
Tyler
Half ass ranch stuff.
Miles
It's like kind of ranch. It's kind of not. And I love it.
Ryan
Me too.
Miles
Also. Huge proud midwest dad moment for me. My kid loves ranch.
Tyler
Huge.
Miles
It's the classic. He picks up whatever food he's got. We got ranch on the high chair for him. He's dipping his food in the ranch and sucking off the ranch and not eating the food. It's awesome.
Tyler
The food just becomes a receptacle to transport ranch to their mouth.
Miles
We give him a spoon. He's got like yogurt, you know. And he'll just take the spoon and just start spooning up the ranch that he ate earlier. It's.
Ryan
It's.
Miles
It's. It's a love hate because it's one couldn't be more proud As a midwest guy.
Tyler
You get it.
Miles
It's in his blood. I found out. You know, it's like nature nurture. I think it's nature on that for midwesterners. Ranch is just nature for him. And then the other side is he doesn't eat any of his food. He just eats the ranch.
Tyler
So there's a lot of calories in there though.
Miles
There is good micros.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. He's on that like semi liquid diet of just ranch dressing.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Brought a tear to your eye when he first saw it.
Tyler
He's in a ranch cleanse.
Miles
Yep. I high fived him. He didn't know what was going on. My hand was covered in ranch after. It was a whole thing though. Yeah.
Ryan
Pump for you.
Miles
I remember how we got there. But me either.
Ryan
Getting pumped just was jacked you up?
Miles
Fired up.
Tyler
Ranch gets miles fired up.
Miles
Yeah. It was a good day in the. In the you betcha household. So. Yeah. Glad you're pumped.
Tyler
Me too. I couldn't be more pumped that I'm pumped.
Ryan
Me too.
Jared
No, me too.
Miles
Yesterday I was driving and I realized something. I drove by a structure of some sort.
Tyler
As one does.
Miles
It was a building and you buy a building.
Ryan
The.
Miles
I drove by a building and just the thought. First thought that popped into my head was what built this? What half wit guy put that thing up? That is just dumb. And I realized it's because when you've worked construction before, you now all of a sudden have an opinion on other people's work, other people's structures. And it's like you've never worked construction. If you haven't drove by something and Just thought what more and more on.
Tyler
Did that who the built this was there?
Ryan
Like could you see some wrong with it?
Miles
Yeah. I mean it's one of those things. It's like it's probably not gonna fall down, but I don't think I'd, you know, trust my family in there.
Ryan
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. No, I. I'm with kind of the kid test.
Miles
Would I let my kid hang out at that building? I don't know.
Ryan
Like a slip and slide park or something. Miles just can't go there. It's right around the corner from his house.
Tyler

Tyler

Miles
Yeah. It's like you've never worked construction too. If you don't have like nicknames for everything too or some sort of special language with a group of people.
Tyler
Yep. Yeah.
Miles
Like that just stems from the construction world. Just nicknaming everything you can.
Tyler
The people and the tools and the supplies.
Miles
Sometimes the people are tools.
Tyler
Yes. Yep. Kind of on your first one. You've never worked construction. If you've never just completely eviscerated a random human being on the side. On the side of the road that you've never met with mean words like, we're sitting on the roof, we'll see someone on the ground and just ruin that person's life behind their back. Like, look at this fucking idiot fucking working at the dog food plant today. Easy Fucking day for this.
Miles
I was gonna say it was any time there would be a retired guy walking his dog by the job site, and I would just be like, easy day for that guy.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
How about you get a job, buddy?
Tyler
Yeah. You old geriatric loser.
Ryan
And that guy, like, maybe worked construction for 30 years.
Tyler
It's just the fact that he's not on the job site with us. He's just now a target.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I think you also have never worked construction if you have been presented the option of eating at a regular restaurant and eating at a gas station. And you choose the gas station.
Ryan
Yeah. The menu's way bigger at the gas station.
Miles
Like, if you've never been, like, sitting at. If you're not in construction anymore and you're sitting at, like, your desk job, and you're just like, God, a chuck wagon would just go down easy right now.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
There's something about a gas station microwave, too, that just makes it different.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Makes it gourmet.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
And then, same vein. You've never worked construction. If you don't know the pure joy of eating your lunch in a gas station parking.
Tyler
Oh, my God. I still do that. Yeah. When I don't pack a lunch, I eat in the parking lot at the gas station.
Miles
Like, I'll be best if I'm, like, on a road trip by myself. I'll buy the food in the gas station, go sit in my truck, and eat it before I start driving. And it's just a moment of bliss.
Jared
Yep. And you have, like, a system down. You're, like. You know where exactly to put, like.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Or whatever.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You put. You put the dips in a certain spot. Yeah.
Jared
Napkins in a certain spot.
Miles
I always. I got this, like, my. My shifter folds down for whatever reason. I don't know why, but there's, like, a little hole there for it. And I always put my fries. They fit perfectly nice in there. It's great.
Tyler
Dude, the parking lot lunch is awesome. It's one of my. I think I'll carry that tradition on forever.
Miles
I'll pass it down to my kids.
Tyler
Yep. Because, like, you could eat it while you're driving back. But why.
Miles
Or you could eat it on the little, like, spots they have to sit inside. But that.
Tyler
You could bring it back to the office with you. Don't. Don't eat it in the parking lot. It's way better.
Ryan
I might start eating lunch in the parking lot.
Tyler
You should try. I think you'll like it.
Ryan
You guys ever.
Tyler
Have you ever done it here in the park? I've never eaten in the parking lot here, but I'll leave here, go to the gas station, eat in that parking lot, and come back.
Ryan
What's the mood? Do you. Do you find a place to park, like on the side of the gas station?
Tyler
I have my spot. I go on north side of the gas station facing the field.
Ryan
Okay. Just in case. Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
I'm out of the way. No one ever parks around me.
Miles
Because. Because the purpose of eating your lunch in the parking lot is tranquility and peace.
Ryan
Yeah, for sure.
Miles
It is to avoid anyone and everything else in your life.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
And for that 15, 20, 30 minutes you're sitting there. That is your time and your time only.
Tyler
I. I pack a lunch most days now. I might just start taking my pack lunch to the gas station parking lot and eating it there.
Miles
Yeah. Just something about it just to get away. And because people are coming and going, they're not paying attention to how long you've been sitting there. You know, it's just, it's just. It's just the best place to eat.
Jared
And then when you clean out your car, you have like a little fried treat in a couple weeks.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Well.
Miles
And then also what's really nice is you just have a big garbage can sitting right there.
Tyler
Right there.
Miles
You can just dump all your garbage from. From lunch right there before you head back.
Jared
It's got everything.
Tyler
The one, the rule about this, if you need to get gas, you don't do the parking lot. Lunch at the pump. You got it?
Miles
That would be insensitive. Yeah.
Tyler
You gotta move along.
Ryan
Especially at the, like, the. The gas slash diesel pump where you get both. Like, you gotta get out of the diesel spot. Diesel. Diesel guys, I think they'll get pissed.
Tyler
They'll run you over for sure.
Ryan
Yep.
Tyler
They see you eating a chicken, you're gonna get pushed out of the way.
Ryan
After just filling up the 87. They're trying to get some E. Will in. I feel like you've never worked construction if you walk into a gas station and don't immediately head towards the energy drink cooler.
Miles
That's true. I would also say that if you aren't immediately. Even if you're not gonna buy any hot food at that moment, you do need to go take a peek at the hot food to see if there's any good stuff left.
Tyler
Yeah. And also, like, you've never worked construction if you don't know which gas station has the best version of each hot food.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
You know where the best pizza is. You know where the best sandwiches Are.
Jared
And you know a time like all it hot food comes out.
Tyler
This place has the best breakfast biscuits.
Miles
Yeah. Not every gas station food types are created equal.
Tyler
Correct.
Jared
Totally.
Miles
You got to know where to go.
Ryan
You got to know, dude, I was in the gas station. I, this is probably a couple weeks ago and I thought there was a guy in line to pay but I, I sat behind him for like three minutes. He looks back, he's like, oh, I'm just using the microwave. You can go ahead. Well, he was just, he had just brought in his lunch from home and was using the microwave in the gas station. He was a construction guy so he had to warm it up somehow. Yeah. All of his, all of his, all of his co workers were buying from there and he was just warming his own. I mean he was counting macros that day. Chicken and rice. Yeah.
Jared
Mine would be like because you go to the same gas station every morning and you know, like which one is the better cashier? That is like the faster one.
Miles
So I have two options on my way to the office gas station wise that art completely on the way and I have intentionally gone a different way hoping and guessing that a certain cashier isn't going to be at that spot.
Ryan
I think I know which one you're talking about actually.
Miles
And it's always for different reasons. Also depends on my mood. If I'm in a chatty mood because sometimes I'll avoid the certain gas edge because I know that one of the cashiers really chatty with me and if I'm not in a chatty mood. Yeah. I don't want to go in and shoot the shit with them. I'll go to the other one.
Jared
Yep, yep. You know like the protocol with it.
Tyler
You've never worked construction before if you haven't prayed to, prayed for rain or considered breaking your leg to get a day off of work.
Miles
Well, yeah. Or just being excited that it's raining out.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
You know, so I'll wake up and I'll see it's raining and for about two seconds you get that same rush of feelings that you had back when I was working construction of like, oh, this is going to be a great day. It's raining out.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
And then you're like, oh, now my job that don't matter. But you still get that little rush and hit.
Tyler
I mean and then also like on the injury side of things, like I'm maybe, maybe I'm just crazy. But like there will be, there were moments on the roof where like if I have a nailer like I should just put one of these through my hand so I can go. I should. It's only gonna hurt a little bit.
Miles
I.
Tyler
If I get between the bones, I'll be fine in a week.
Ryan
Like I. Chick sticks.
Tyler
I'll just do it.
Miles
Hey, you think you're going home for putting a nail through your hand? And you didn't even hit bone. Good luck.
Tyler
That's true. Formula been on my ass.
Ryan
You didn't have your tetanus shot, though.
Miles
That's.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. Everyone knows I put rusty nails in my gun.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. See, I don't know if I've ever gotten fully to that point, but it's definitely like, like, hey, if I get drunk enough tonight, maybe tomorrow I'll puke at work and I'll get to go home or something.
Ryan
Did you. Did you guys ever anticipate like a big storm coming through so like you'd get shit faced the night before just assuming work was going to get canceled and it didn't.
Tyler
It's a dangerous. Well, back when I was roofing, I. I didn't need an excuse.
Miles
Just didn't matter if it was. If I had work the next. Sure.
Tyler
I'm just getting up regardless. Yeah.
Miles
Domino Dan, Double D. Game of Thrones is on tv, you know. Yeah, I got a bottle of wine.
Ryan
Apothec Red. Not a sponsor.
Jared
Sponsor.
Miles
You've never worked construction. If you don't look at a shitty old pair of shoes and been like, that will be great for work, like I'll. I remember having clothes that either like were really ugly that somehow I acquired, or they were just ratty and you're kind of get excited because you're like, oh, let us wear this to work.
Tyler
I haven't. It's not an old shirt. It's a new work shirt.
Miles
Yeah, right. 100. Yeah. These. These aren't my old shitty tennis shoes. These are new shoes for the job site. And if you're wondering, yes, we used to wear tennis shoes on the job site.
Tyler
Yeah, we never got to do that.
Ryan
Yeah, there's a. I don't know. When we moved into our house, there was a. One of the concrete guys just left his pair of boots, like on this pile of dirt. I. I assume because the soul ripped off. But those fuckers were sitting there for like four months.
Tyler
No, it's so like when wrestlers retire, they leave their shoes in the middle of the mat. Oh, that guy's last job.
Ryan
Maybe I should have kept those.
Miles
Is that. So what. What do they do with the shoes then?
Tyler
So like, if, like him back. Use Dan Gable. No, the. The venue gets him or the team gets him. So on their last match ever, like, I'm retiring. I'm done, you take your shoes off and you put them in the middle of the mat and you leave them.
Ryan
Because, like, the ufc, they take their gloves off, put them in the center of the octagon, but they take them back when they're leaving.
Tyler
Yeah, I don't know. I guess I don't know what happens to them.
Jared
Well, UFC fighters don't wear shoes either.
Tyler
That's true.
Ryan
Yeah, right?
Miles
They should take off their shorts.
Ryan
Yeah. My balls.
Tyler
Balls was hot. You've never worked construction before. If the top of your dryer at home has not been covered in screws and washers and random tools and just all the shit you leave in your pockets from the day on the job site.
Jared
That's true.
Tyler
The fucking dryer machine sounds like a maraca in your pockets.
Miles
A drum. Yeah. Yeah. For me, it was always just, like, little rocks from dirt and stuff just going around.
Tyler
We would have these washer things that we'd have to push the screws through to hold the insulation stuff down to get the grade of the roof. And I just fill my pockets with them so I didn't have to keep going back. And I would come home with six or seven of those every night.
Miles
Okay, well, first of all, that's stealing.
Tyler
From the company sure is incriminating.
Miles
So what do you do that here? You just accidentally leave a camera in your pocket?
Tyler
I forgot it around my neck. Camera strap. Oh, damn it.
Miles
Accidentally Leave your. Your MacBook Pro in your pocket?
Tyler
Fits in my back pocket.
Ryan
Leave it in your waistband.
Jared
I do have SD cards all the time.
Tyler
Oh, dude, me too.
Ryan
Me too. It's fine.
Tyler
When I. When I trade trail camera SD cards, I. I will end up washing them all the time.
Ryan
Yeah, that's not.
Jared
Clean the footage.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Yep. Scrub. Scrub the footage.
Tyler
Literally.
Miles
Oh. Yeah. So it's just, you know, I just feel like it's. It's now just part of. You can take the guy out of the construction, but you can't take construction out of the guy. Nope. His brain's just working different.
Tyler
All those things. The thing that'll stick with me most is the parking lot lunch. I think that's the best.
Ryan
Dude, I'm gonna have to try that out. I will say whenever I drive by, like, a newly poured basement, my form's still up and everything. I. I think you guys right away.
Miles
So thank you very much.
Ryan
Yeah, so I. And I, like. I'll See different concrete construction company trucks driving around. And I'll be like, yeah, what a dog company that is.
Miles
Well, you guys say those are always driving around.
Ryan
Yes.
Miles
To say.
Jared
Yeah. What do you think of, like, the custom concrete trucks with all the designs and stuff?
Miles
Yeah, I think it's fine. Yeah. I mean, I didn't. I wasn't. That wasn't our gig. Like, we hot. We would have. We would pay concrete truck companies to show up.
Jared
Sure.
Miles
So it's kind of a little bit. Not my circus, not my monkeys, you know?
Ryan
Makes sense.
Miles
But yeah, it's fine. I don't know. Okay. The real relationship you build is with the guy running the pump truck. Because the concrete truck people, they just come, they back up to the pump, and then they just stay by the truck while you're doing all the work. What? The guy running the pump truck with his little joysticks is standing on the bank next to you smoking and joking.
Ryan
Sure.
Miles
So those guys are the guys that, you know. You know, it's one of those deals when you. Because there's different guys that'll come. You're like, oh, this is going to be a good poor. If this guy's here. And if it's certain guy, you're like, oh, I got to choose the right job during this so I don't have to do small talk with him because he is just annoying.
Tyler
So question on how the truck operates. Do you, like, preorder a set amount of, like, gallons of concrete yards? Okay. So then he shows up, you have. It's predetermined, like, we want this many yards or does he show up like a ticker runs, and then when you have enough, you have enough.
Ryan
Like a gas pump.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Well, no. So they need to know how much concrete to send.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
Because only a certain. A truck. One truck only holds a certain amount, which I wish I knew how much a concrete truck holds, but I don't. Dad wouldn't let me in on. On this part.
Ryan
Not your circus.
Tyler
I didn't want you to take over the business.
Miles
Well, no, I think he's. Because he's kind of a control freak. But. So then it's like, let's say there's, you know, four yards in a truck and you. It's probably less than that. But let's say you have four yards and you need 12 yards of concrete. They would then send three trucks your way.
Tyler
Gotcha.
Ryan
So, yeah, standard concrete truck typically holds between 8 and 10 cubic yards.
Miles
Oh, really?
Ryan
Creep.
Miles
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Ryan
Yeah. Like a gravel charcoal, like 12 yards of gravel.
Miles
So then it's like, it's. But it's an imperfect thing because you, like, don't know how, like, wet or hot, they'll pour it. Sometimes you can control and choose how wet it is and whatnot. But then, like, let's say you have. Of course, my dad would have always one panel that the corner would be cut off, so then you'd have to, like, put, like, cardboard over it, like, but you.
Ryan
You.
Miles
You lose spillage and stuff, so you could end up wasting some concrete, and it might not be enough or you have too much and all that. So, yeah, it's interesting game.
Tyler
It is.
Miles
But, you know, then you always have the guy if you were pulling plates in the bottom. So after you pour the concrete, there's like, a board on the bottom that's nailed into the footing that you pull off so that it's easier to do when it's still wet and whatnot. And so you're underneath where the pump is the whole time. You always get the guy running the pump on the top of the wall to accidentally slip it outside. Just cake the top of your head with it. The worst. Just the worst.
Tyler
Like, you're covered in concrete.
Miles
Yeah. Classic prank. I mean, he doesn't just call it. It's just like one of these, like. Oh, that's good. It's always a good initiation thing because the new guy's always got to be the guy pulling the plates.
Tyler
So.
Miles
Yeah. Fng, Jared, you were telling me about something that you notice with your wife.
Jared
So I've had the same pillow for, I think, since high school.
Ryan
Okay, that's actually insane.
Miles
That's crazy.
Ryan
Okay, on that. I'll get to that.
Miles
So I know this may put a hole in your argument, but that's insane.
Tyler
Yeah. Off the bat, I'm on your wife's side. You could sway me over. But so far, I am on.
Jared
And I love my neck. Always feels great.
Miles
It's.
Jared
It's broken in, obviously.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
There's, like, some, like, I don't know, yellow stains on it.
Miles
Yeah, it's grease. You know, hair grease, face grease. I get it.
Jared
I get it, and I love it. I've been using it, like, pretty much every night, and my wife doesn't understand why I still have it. But it's just.
Miles
It's the perfect pillow, and I can. I can get that, right? It's. You've. It's the perfect pillow. You broke it in. It's like, sometimes your wife just doesn't understand the things you do. But Maybe she needs to learn a lesson a little bit, you know, like my. I remember I saw. I. When I sleep, I just sleep with shorts on, no underwear, whatever. And I had this perfect pair of shorts that the waistband wasn't too tight, but it wasn't too loose, that they're falling off, but they just weren't a very nice pair of shorts. And I'd wear them to bed a lot. And it got to the point where my wife's like, I don't understand why you wear these every single day. They're ugly. You know, this and that. And I'm like, you just don't understand. They just fit absolutely perfect.
Jared
Right. It's like you're not going to a.
Miles
Wedding, you're going to bed. I'm literally, I'm gonna. You only see these shorts from the 15 seconds from the closet where I walk from there into bed. Cover them with COVID That's why they're called covers.
Ryan
Yeah, that's a good point.
Miles
Covering up. Yeah.
Ryan
Jared. Sorry to just to piggyback on that. So my, My three year old, he uses the pillow, like the small pillow that I used when I was a kid that my dad used when he was a kid.
Jared
Holy.
Ryan
So that pillow is probably like 50 years old.
Tyler
I was going to talk about broken in.
Ryan
So A is really broken.
Miles
Isn't there like a lot of sign to how much bacteria pillows hold so much dead skin. Yeah. It's honest again, I want to be on your guys's side here.
Ryan
It's the perfect pillow, though. It's got the. The old NFL logos, every NFL team logo all over it. Yes. It's got the Oilers on it.
Miles
Yeah. But like, they don't have the Seahawks on there. Right. They don't got the Titans on it.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
Texas definitely aren't on it.
Jared
Panthers. Are the Panthers on it?
Ryan
I don't think so.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
The Raiders are for sure. Not Las Vegas.
Ryan
No, definitely not. So, yeah.
Miles
Yeah. Your kids like watching NFL later. And he's like, who's. The Tennessee Titans. Yeah.
Ryan
What are the Oilers playing?
Miles
Yeah. Can we watch the Oilers game today, Dad?
Jared
I love Warren.
Ryan
He's like, yeah, it's like, Son, it's. It's the off season of hockey right now. The Oilers aren't on until this winter.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Sorry, Tyler, I cut you off.
Tyler
No, no, I. I have one. I perfectly understand that I'm the weird one here, but I brush my teeth in the shower and my wife could just thinks that's the weirdest thing ever.
Miles
I mean, you're saving time.
Tyler
Yeah. It's just like, I do it every. Every shower. I brush my teeth.
Ryan
I do that from time to time, too. If I'm trying to kill two birds, one stone, I'll do it.
Tyler
I need this time. Yeah, yeah. Keep catching.
Ryan
I'll in the shower sometime. Just by. Not if I don't. Awful stomp. Yeah. If I don't have time.
Miles
You know, his wife just doesn't. Can't understand that.
Tyler
No, she doesn't get it.
Miles
I actually had a good moment where she didn't necessarily understand it, but then something happened to her and she suddenly understood it. She couldn't understand why. I just like, standing out watching the sprinklers go. You know, she's kind of like, yeah, okay, you're just going to stand out here and look at him. And then she's planted a flower bed in our planters and like, whatever this year. And now she'll just go out and just start. Look to just be looking at the flowers, looking at them, making comments about, like, this, I really need these ones to fill out. You know, stuff like that.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Constantly worried about the. The flowers in the garden. I'm like, this is the exact reason why I sit and watch the sprinklers. I got to make sure that they're, you know, staying. Not too much leakage onto the concrete. Keep it in the grass, you know, I don't want to be wasting water, all that type of stuff.
Jared
And it's mesmerizing, too.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
You gotta make sure coverage is good, too. If you got a knot. If you gotta knock sprinkler heads down or something because it's too strong of a stream.
Miles
I do have one sprinkler head right now. It's one of those ones that, like, sprays flat like this, like, all the way. Yep. Right. It's not like one of the sh. It's like a Mr. Whatever.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
But there's like a crack in the top of it. So it shoots water straight up in the air. But it's not like a huge stream. It's just like, as if this was a water feature and like, this is just an extra little thing.
Ryan
I probably got an extra head for you.
Miles
Yeah. I might have to get that baby replaced.
Jared
Like, it's like peeing after sex.
Tyler
That's rain.
Ryan
Yeah. Like, yeah, you have to sit.
Miles
Morning wood piss. Yeah. Ah, that's the wall. I don't get it.
Ryan
My wife doesn't understand why I have so many pairs of shoes. I do have a lot of pairs of shoes.
Miles
And he's Got all the pairs of shoes, but he just elects to wear the same ones that I have every day.
Ryan
Well, I'm trying to get these suckers broken in. So get. You give another week or two, I won't be wearing these.
Tyler
It is cute that you guys match.
Miles
I just. I had them first.
Tyler
You. It's.
Ryan
Well, again, I tried to get a different color. They didn't have a different color in my size, so I was forced to. I. I had. It was a tough decision. But, I mean, like, I. I have a pair of lawn mowing shoes, but my lawn mowing shoes, I can't wear in, like, if the gravel or the. The dirt is wet, like, if they're going to get muddy now. Waterproof. So then I got my mud shoes, podcast shoes. I got my podcast shoes. I got my. Yep. I got my. My working out shoes.
Tyler
My hanging out with Miles shoes.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
Yep.
Ryan
I just got, like, my comfy casuals, but then I have my casuals that aren't as comfy.
Jared
Do you have, like.
Miles
I get that, actually.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
Miles
Like, I got a pair of tennis shoes that I wear if, like, hey, you know, I like the way these ones look, but they're not as comfy. But then I have the tennis shoes like, these that I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna wear these for pure comfort.
Ryan
Yeah. Yep. I got a pair of cheap shoes that I can. They're universal. I can literally walk in the mud with them. I can mow lawn with them. I could wear them out, possibly to a nice dinner, you know, get washed up.
Jared
So do you have, like.
Miles
Right.
Jared
Mood Ryan shoes? Are those the universal?
Ryan
I do, yeah. No, I. I have a pair of those. RMRs. Yeah. Those. Those only come out on special occasion.
Tyler
How many shoes does your wife have? Do you have more shoes than her?
Jared
Good question.
Ryan
I'd probably say no because she's. I mean, she's got a lot of, like the flats and then. Yeah. So but maybe.
Miles
But I think it's less of, like, why do you have so many shoes? As a hypocritical thing. It's more so, like, guys shouldn't have this many shoes.
Tyler
I know.
Miles
Probably her approach.
Tyler
Yeah. It's a double standard.
Ryan
Like, she has. She has a pair of shoes for, like, each different, like, like, occasion that she'd be going out to. I have different shoes for each occasion that would, like.
Miles
Of life.
Ryan
Of life. Yeah.
Tyler
That's fine. I'm on team Ryan here.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
And I usually don't get rid of shoes I like for me to Throw a pair of shoes away is a really, really tough decision.
Tyler
They do got to be.
Miles
If I'm gonna lift weights, I wear a pair of shoes that I bought like in college for sure.
Ryan
And in to throw those away would be. It would.
Miles
And actually I thought that they disappeared for a long time. Then I was going through a bucket in our closet and I found them at the bottom and I was jacked, dude. So jacked.
Tyler
We were going through for the rummage. So I found my CrossFit shoes when I was serious and I didn't put those on the rubbish. So I'm like, I gotta keep these.
Ryan
Just in case maybe you might be CrossFit.
Miles
It's also like, have you guys ever bought a used pair of shoes?
Tyler
One time.
Miles
And what was it for?
Tyler
For a wedding I had to buy some like specific looking brown shoes that they were $150 and I was like, I'm gonna go to a thrift store and find something close enough.
Miles
Yeah. Kind of just wore them once.
Tyler
Yep. I wore them once. Then I think I maybe wore them again to a wedding.
Miles
Buying used shoes is crazy, right?
Ryan
Yeah. Even if the description says lightly used, like I just know that's not.
Miles
I don't know, I just, I'm. I don't think I'll ever buy a used pair of shoes ever. Unless it was like we needed it. Yeah.
Tyler
Those are just renting.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. Even that feels weird. Doesn't. Takes like a full 15 minutes to be comfortable in those shoes.
Ryan
For sure. I figure out slide shoes on.
Miles
Yeah, but like unless we like we're buying a specific pair of shoes for like a character we were playing in a video, I just, I don't see a path to me doing that.
Ryan
Well, I think it's cuz you have to, you have to break them in on your own. You don't want someone else with different feet breaking them in for you.
Jared
Yeah. Try walking in somebody else's shoes.
Miles
Yeah. Also there's just nothing grosser than another person's sweaty, smelly feet.
Ryan
Definitely.
Miles
And to you put your feet in.
Jared
I don't know, it's like used underwear.
Miles
I don't even like the thought of like wearing someone's flip flops.
Tyler
That's probably worse because there's no socks.
Miles
Yeah. It's probably true.
Jared
Dogs are.
Miles
I just. I don't know.
Tyler
I don't know. I thought it was for my case specifically. I think it was a great move because originally I was like, fucking A. I don't want to buy used shoes. But then I bought them for $6 instead of having to spend 150 on something that I was going to wear one time.
Ryan
That's worth it. I mean, if you have multiple occasions you wear them for, then it's different. You might just want to go new at that point.
Miles
But yeah, yeah, maybe. Maybe bowling shoes are doing it right? Maybe I. We got to start a shoe rental business. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
I bet you some people would do that. If you like LA by a bunch of. What are the. The. What are the red bottoms? What actually is the brand?
Jared
Oh, what is this Red bottoms?
Tyler
Yeah, like, it's a woman's shoe that designer. Like, they're like Louis Vuitton or some like that.
Jared
I think it is Louie.
Tyler
Yeah, they call them red bottoms. We did like a red bottom rentals so they could rent them for a night.
Miles
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
I got a friend, she. She would just order clothes from this one company and just return them after the occasion. And she ended up getting blacklisted from that company. I think she returned like $8,000 of merchandise in one year.
Tyler
Oh, my God.
Ryan
God. Crazy.
Tyler
Good for.
Ryan
So there's a market.
Miles
You know, honestly, I'm usually about like, being like, yeah, that seems extreme to blacklisted, but I'm fully on board with getting blacklisted for sure. Buying $8,000 worth of stuff, for sure. It's like also one of those things. Like, how many people are actually buying $8,000 worth of stuff from one company in a year? Definitely. It's like the. It's got to be a short list. So you're gonna get caught easily.
Ryan
Yeah, definitely.
Miles
Where. If she was doing like 3, 400 bucks at this place. 3, 400 bucks at this place, you're probably not gonna get caught. $8,000 at one store. If someone's bought $8,000 worth of you betcha gear and return, like, even if they didn't return it, we would be like, we need to like, thank this guy.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. You'd also know, like, after the. After they hit 500 in returns, you just type their name on the search bar and all their orders come up.
Miles
So watch them like a hawk.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I'm trying to think if there's anything else my wife doesn't know. I mean, it's a lot. She doesn't understand why I like whipping my shirt off at home, dude. I was like growling at my kid. You know something about that. I'll do this thing where, like, if he's on the ground, I'll get on my hands and knees and just take the crown of my head and just start headbutting a little bit.
Ryan
Yeah, I like doing that.
Miles
And. And doesn't get it, but it's like he loves it. You know, he just wants a rough house.
Tyler
What's there not to get? He's laughing.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah.
Ryan
You do anything? My wife can. She can't understand why I. Why I can't unpack a bag from a weekend for, like. Like, immediately. Because she's. She'll get home immediately unpacked.
Miles
So you're married to a serial killer.
Ryan
Yeah, My. My bag will sit there for, like. It'll sit there long enough for me to get to the next trip I'm taking.
Miles
So you're saying that if you wind up dead, she definitely did it.
Tyler
We'll need to check Ryan's burn pile.
Ryan
I mean, I don't think I have any.
Miles
Any.
Ryan
Anyone out to get me at this point.
Jared
You'd never have to unpack that if you're always packed.
Ryan
That's the thing. I'm already kind of packed.
Miles
I just. This summer, I have been gone so much that there's. I just haven't even had an opportunity to unpack my suitcase.
Ryan
Yeah, you don't.
Tyler
Don't you don't you leave tomorrow morning?
Miles
Yeah, Yeah, I do.
Ryan
And your bag's packed already?
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
And then I get back on Saturday, and I have to leave again on Sunday.
Tyler
You should just stay there.
Miles
Like, it gets to a point where I just get home, I open up my suitcase and, like, stuff for the week that's clean in there that I didn't wear, I'll just wear during that week, and I'll just. I'm quite literally living out of a suitcase at this point. You know, a lot of smell tests. You know, can't remember if I wore this. No, I think I'm good. Even if I did, it was light use, you know, and minimal soilage, and I can move on a lot of wrinkle spray. Oh, yeah. I told Anne when we go on this road trip tomorrow, God. Bring the wrinkle spray for sure. Locked and loaded. I had it just in my truck for a while. Wrinkle spray Lifesaver.
Ryan
Is there any. Any heat that needs to be applied to it to get the.
Miles
Just.
Tyler
It's a mystery chemical. It's up there with underwater firecrackers.
Miles
It's a hundred percent. I don't get it. But now I can't live without it.
Ryan
It's kind of like the stain spray that they. That they got for. Not for kids, but just in general. It will. Like, you could smush a raspberry on a white shirt, and it will take the stain out. I don't know where the. The coloration is going, but it just. It's gone.
Tyler
It disappears.
Miles
Things get washed out.
Ryan
It doesn't get washed, though. You just. You. You like, really? You like, kind of.
Miles
I guess that's like a tide to go. Pen.
Jared
Those never work.
Miles
Really?
Tyler
No. Tried to go suck.
Miles
Really? I feel like I've had decent success with T T2G.
Ryan
It's all a mess.
Tyler
You just haven't had a good stain yet then.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Too cleave an eater.
Miles
Yeah, probably. I've probably never had an oil slick on my shirt.
Ryan
Yeah. Next time you, like, stamp your undies, just try. Try the tie to go. So get. Won't get it out. And then next time you stamp your undies, try the spray. It'll come right out.
Miles
Oh, my God, ryan, there's like 50.
Jared
Different spots on your own.
Ryan
It's kind of like testing out, like, it's like a seed plot, right? You got companies testing out new variations. Seed. It's just. I mean, you got 50 stains, 50 stamps on your undies. You're just trying out different stain removers.
Miles
Ryan's starting to sound a lot like Billy Mays over there. Really selling this thing.
Jared
R.I.P.
Ryan
Yeah. Love you, bud.
Miles
It's also. I feel like. I feel like a lot of the stuff that my wife couldn't understand when we first got married, she's now acquiring those things. Like, she couldn't understand why my truck was so messy, my garage was so messy, and my Everything else was messy. And now her closet is messier than mine. You know what I mean?
Tyler
Your bad habits are contagious.
Miles
Yeah, I think that's a little bit.
Ryan
Yeah. I mean, I. I like back in the early you betcha days, we. You, me, and Ann would just all stay in the same hotel room. And I think I remember, like, her clothes corner was. It was like a bomb went off.
Miles
In your guys' suitcase. It's just. The problem is that we just have two type B personalities in our house, and it's just not good.
Ryan
Yeah, it's okay, though.
Miles
And she's also. She. She's actually told me. This is almost a direct quote of. I'd be like. I'd be like, oh, we should. Like, you should. You. I'll do this tonight, this chore. You should clean up your closet. And she's like, well, I'm not gonna do it until you start doing it. Then I'll want to do it like a standoff?
Ryan
Well, no, it's just like, she needs more, like, motivation.
Miles
Only she's basically told me the only way she gets motivated to do something like that is if someone else is doing it and she can join in. And I was just like.
Tyler
So, like, you'd have to start cleaning her closet.
Miles
Yeah, just like being like, all right, let's go. We're gonna clean up the closet, then she'll do it. But if she's just got a to do list and it's clean up the closet, she just won't. She won't do it. So it's always fun that. Two children in the house.
Ryan
Well, you know, she might. She's like a. She's a group project type of gal.
Miles
And she probably is. Yeah. You know, I could be somewhat of a social loafer where she's the opposite. I'm in a group, I'm like, chilling, you know, how can I make it seem like I'm doing work when I'm not really doing work? And she's like, I'm only going to do work if the group's doing the work.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So maybe that's good. It's good.
Ryan
We got to stay in this bench right now.
Miles
Yeah. Maybe then she'll stay in it for.
Ryan
Ah, Yeah. I gotta take this call real quick.
Tyler
Abandon her two seconds in.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. So I gotta get this.
Ryan
We gotta get this garage clean now. Ah, I gotta. I gotta take a.
Miles
Take a call.
Jared
Gotta go to the bank.
Miles
And then I come back and she's just. Why haven't you done anything? I was waiting for you.
Ryan
Damn it. That'll happen.
Miles
That was an hour wasted. And now I can't feel my legs.
Ryan
Yeah, I won't be able to feel my legs until tomorrow. That's how long that was.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
All right. Should we take a break, boys?
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
All right, Jared, you have a segment called who said what?
Jared
Yes.
Miles
This. Is this on anything? The pot we said on the podcast.
Jared
Yes. So this is between regular episodes and Patreon episodes as well.
Miles
Okay. All right. And how many different quotes you got for us?
Jared
I think I have nine.
Miles
Okay, so these are nine quotes. We have to try and guess who said what.
Jared
Okay.
Miles
I'm guessing that's a game, right?
Ryan
Yeah. We're team effort here.
Miles
I figured who said who said what? Is. That's the premise is what I gathered.
Jared
Right.
Miles
All right, Jared, what do you got for us?
Jared
We put a man on the moon, but we can't have chunks. Soft serve ice cream.
Miles
I do say we put a man A lot. Say it a lot. What was it? Chunk soft serve ice cream.
Jared
Yeah, but we can't have chunks soft serve ice cream.
Miles
Yeah. I'm guessing that's like having, like, Reese's peanut butter cups already mixed in. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Miles Ryan, Episode 238 oh, my God, you were little.
Ryan
I do say man on the moon, and when people can't get done, we put a man on the moon.
Miles
Why can't we do that? Which he got from me. Yeah. Yeah.
Tyler
No, definitely not from Neil.
Ryan
No, I didn't get it from you.
Jared
No.
Miles
Louie.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. Too much confidence on this side of the, of the nightstand right here.
Tyler
We were playing.
Ryan
I should. I should have went with my gut. Should have went with my gut.
Miles
Yeah, I mean, you did say it, so you could have been, like, I said, that bad.
Ryan
I know, but you talked me into thinking it was you because you do love chunky Softs.
Miles
No one's got the garlic bread. That's a Patreon. Yeah, that's later this week.
Jared
No.
Miles
Oh, that just happened.
Jared
Yeah, that just happened.
Miles
If you guys want to. We got all sorts of bits going over, including a talking garlic bread loaf.
Jared
Anyways, it was really good.
Miles
It was way better. It sounded way funnier on Patreon.
Tyler
Yes.
Miles
To be there.
Ryan
All right, so we're all for one.
Miles
Okay, well, speak up next time. How about. Yeah.
Ryan
Don'T be so confident going into your guesses. Let's devolve.
Miles
You're right. Leaders eat last. You guys pick first and I'll come in later.
Ryan
Let's get a let's go census here. Tyler, did you even say who you thought it was?
Tyler
Miles. Okay, it said it several times. All right.
Jared
I feel like skateboarders shower less than regular people.
Tyler
Ryan. That's gotta be Orion.
Miles
I don't know if Ryan would have that. Did you say. Well, first of all, did you say that?
Ryan
Not that I remember. But I mean, I, I, it is probably something I would have said.
Tyler
It feels like you said it completely out of context, but I want to.
Miles
That or it was a very well thought out observation. And I, I just don't feel like Ryan would have thought that one through. I think he would have just blurted something out.
Tyler
No, I feel like we were probably talking about football and Ryan, that.
Ryan
I think I'm not that out of pocket, you guys.
Miles
I think I said this.
Ryan
Back of my head said, says Tyler said it.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
No, I, I, I def. I don't think I said.
Miles
Okay, so you think Tyler said it? You think Ryan said. I think that Miles said It. Let's see.
Jared
Miles said it.
Ryan
Okay. I was just gonna say I said it.
Miles
I told you. I said. I think I said this.
Ryan
I was literally gonna say, I think Miles said it before you gave us the answer. Jared. So we.
Miles
We.
Ryan
We got that one right. I think as a group.
Tyler
Yeah, we'll take it.
Jared
We'll take. Get GI Jan on it. She'll clean it up.
Ryan
GI Jan.
Tyler
I remember this bit, but I don't remember who said that.
Miles
It is astonishing how little we remember of what we said.
Jared
Jan. Get GI Jan on it. She'll clean it up.
Miles
I don't think I said this. I don't. I don't think I've ever said GI Jan in my entire life.
Tyler
It's either me or Ryan.
Miles
I feel like it's a Tyler bit.
Jared
So this was in reference to the Will Smith song?
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I think it was Ryan.
Ryan
I think it was Tyler.
Miles
I think it was Tyler.
Jared
It was Tyler.
Tyler
Wow.
Ryan
Let's go.
Miles
You said it.
Tyler
I don't remember.
Miles
You gotta remember it.
Tyler
I don't remember saying it.
Ryan
Who was GI Jam?
Jared
That was the Chris Rock did a GI Jan joke.
Ryan
Oh, okay.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
It just was too cult. Too much of a. Of a pop culture reference for me and you to say.
Ryan
Correct.
Miles
We are not 100. Tyler's much more plugged into pop culture.
Ryan
Yep.
Tyler
Am I?
Miles
Yeah. In a weird way, you are. You're like. You're like a. You're like a hermit monk, but you're also very plugged into pop culture. I don't know if that makes sense. It's like if the Franciscan monks had access to the E. Network.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
The E. Yeah. What's it called? Entertainment.
Jared
Exclamation.
Miles
Entertainment Tonight. Exclamation. If that's like, what you are.
Tyler
I used to watch E. News with Joel McHale.
Jared
Oh, the soup.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Soup was the best.
Ryan
You're by the tabloids at the Cash.
Miles
The Soup Walks so Tosh could run.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
That's what I felt like. The same style of show, right?
Tyler
Pretty much.
Miles
Different topics, obviously.
Jared
The first time my wiener hit that bun and I. And I sprayed my relish all over it, I knew you were the one.
Miles
What? The one of us.
Ryan
Do you. Do you eat relish on hot dogs?
Tyler
Sometimes.
Ryan
Do you eat relish on hot dogs? I. Because I do.
Tyler
It's gotta be you.
Miles
It's. This is such a Ryan comment.
Tyler
Jared's just going in a circle now, so we should be back to Ryan.
Ryan
No, because Miles is the first one.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah.
Ryan
But he needs to switch it up.
Miles
It Just. Just read it one more time.
Jared
The first time my wiener hit that bun and I sprayed my relish all over it. I knew you were the one.
Tyler
This has got to be a Ryan on Patreon for bonus points.
Miles
I knew you were the one. Yeah. I just. I would never. I don't do relish. So we'll go. You're going, Ryan.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah.
Jared
So, yeah, it was Miles, but Miles, you're kind of quoting Ryan. You're talking about building your own hot dog bar. That's how Miles thinks. Ryan met his wife at a hot dog bar.
Miles
Okay.
Jared
And you were kind of quoting, so.
Miles
Trick question, Jared. It's.
Ryan
That was sneaky. That was sneaky.
Miles
So that's how I described. That's Ryan and his wife meeting. Yeah.
Tyler
That is a crazy thing for you.
Jared
My mom listens to this episode one.
Tyler
She should stop.
Miles
Hey, my kid now saw 121. That was heavy. Domino Dan time.
Ryan
Dude, that was Miles day, too. Days.
Miles
Yeah, it was.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Whoever.
Jared
Whoever invented the apple tree clearly did not. Was not a guy of my size. Correct. He would have made them. Whoever invented the apple tree clearly was not a guy of my size because he would have made them grow much taller and gotten much more shade.
Miles
This had been Domino Dan. Yeah.
Jared
Miles on apple Trees, episode 1 26.
Miles
That's what the episode was called?
Jared
No, that was just.
Miles
Oh, that's just me. I. I had an opinion on it. Yeah.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
If you're a walking taco, you can walk on out of here.
Miles
I hope I didn't say this. This is a bad line.
Ryan
Was it really?
Tyler
Were we debating taco in a bag versus calling it walking taco?
Miles
Yeah, that's a bad one by me. What episode was that?
Jared
121.
Miles
Yeah. This tough. I had a tough stretch there, I think.
Ryan
Why? Why is it so bad?
Miles
It's just. Is not a good joke. I mean, probably again, it's not funny.
Ryan
We're not hearing any context around. Around these lines, though.
Miles
That's.
Ryan
That's the thing.
Miles
I hope it was in a heated thing. Oh, yeah, you're a walkie talker. You can walk the right eye. I hope it was like that. I hope it wasn't deadpan, because that's a bad dead pan deadpan joke.
Tyler
Pity laughs for me and Ryan, mostly.
Miles
Jared.
Jared
I'm anti knee jerk. I like to keep my knees unjerked.
Tyler
Miles.
Miles
Gotta be me.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
What episode was that on?
Jared
Episode 277.
Miles
See, I'm starting to catch my stride a little bit.
Ryan
Knee Jerk reactions.
Jared
It was Miles talking.
Miles
I like to keep my knees unjust.
Jared
Crack himself up.
Ryan
That's a good one.
Miles
That's. That's a Good one.
Jared
Miles. Episode 277 on Wayne and if the dust has settled on the MJ versus LeBron debate. That's when you said that.
Miles
Okay. Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. Because that's. I mean that's how the action.
Miles
Yeah. The whole. That's how the whole let's wait till the smoker's dust settles thing even started because I was. I'm anti knee jerk.
Jared
Men don't actually scratch their nuts. It's more of a pinch and roll situation.
Ryan
That was Tyler.
Miles
Yep.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
Oh, well, that's the most memorable one.
Tyler
We can think of.
Ryan
You know, patented pr.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, could you imagine just like stretching it out and just scratching it like you would your arm? Yeah.
Ryan
I'm so. Yeah. Like. Like you're washing clothes on a washboard.
Miles
Yeah, I have washboard nuts.
Jared
I grew up with Sheetrock on either side. On my back. Of my back.
Miles
I grew up with Sheetrock on either side of my back. Yeah.
Ryan
Which is funny because there's only one side to your back.
Miles
I just. Again, context, I feel like helps so much. I'm not.
Ryan
I mean, I'm not.
Miles
I don't think Tyler said that.
Ryan
I'm also not talking about Sheetrock, so.
Miles
It'S gotta be me.
Ryan
It's gotta be you.
Jared
That's Miles.
Ryan
Yep.
Tyler
What is the context of this?
Jared
It's Patreon. Episode 66 10:13 Mark, I'm not sure what the context was.
Tyler
Jared just randomly clicked it and wrote down the first words he heard.
Jared
My performance in the bedroom translates to my performance on the field. And the only place that I can confidently is a Comfort King.
Miles
That's gotta be Ryan.
Ryan
No, that's.
Miles
That's you. What?
Ryan
I don't own a Comfort King is a Patreon.
Miles
Oh, wait, no. I think we were doing a fake commercial for it because we were talking about how dumb it was that these nil deals of like local.
Ryan
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miles
I feel like might have said it.
Ryan
That was. It had to have been you.
Jared
It was Ryan.
Miles
God, that's a great.
Ryan
That's a great line by Comfort King.
Tyler
Needs to steal that.
Ryan
Can you.
Miles
Right. We were doing a fake commercial bit or what?
Jared
Cuz we said the Comfort King ads look like pornos.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Spiral into that.
Ryan
Yeah. There's using the local. Like local athletes. What was the line again?
Jared
My performance in the bedroom translates to my performance on the field. And the only place That I can confidently is a comfort kick.
Ryan
Just.
Miles
Just the idea of knowing where you can confidently.
Tyler
That's gotta be the new take. Like confidently in a comfort.
Miles
Oh, that's a good one.
Jared
I think that was our hookah episode.
Ryan
Oh, that makes sense.
Tyler
Hooked up.
Ryan
That makes sense.
Miles
The only place I can confidently. It's a comfort.
Jared
That's all I have.
Miles
Holy.
Ryan
That's a good segment.
Miles
It's a good segment. Were you just searching random words in all the, like, transcript stuff or what?
Jared
Yeah, I would just kind of thumb around. This is like over the last two years. I've been doing it. Two years.
Ryan
Two years for nine pits.
Jared
Well, it's not like I've been working two years straight on it. It's like, oh, that'd be a funny one to put in.
Ryan
It's a great segment though.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Takes time to compile.
Ryan
Yeah. So it's not like we can. We can't really do another one next week.
Miles
I mean, I mean, we have. How many hours? Lots.
Ryan
If it took them two years, though.
Miles
Two years. Yeah. So, all right, your market. If you're listening to this two years from now, we'll do who said what again? Yeah, it's about the correct amount of time, but if we wanted to only do like four or five of them, we probably do it in a year. Give Jared ample time to get it done.
Tyler
We get the patrons on it. They have time stamps for all sorts of. They call us out all the time.
Ryan
Yeah. They're good at pulling tapes.
Jared
Well, yeah, they can do the heavy lifting on it.
Tyler
Yeah. So patrons submit some quotes for us.
Jared
That'd be nice.
Miles
So that's it, Jared. Yep.
Jared
That's all I had about that.
Miles
Yeah. You think after two years we'd have a laundry list of quotes?
Ryan
Oh, yeah.
Miles
Well, no, I'm directing that at you, Jared. I mean, I thought you would have. I didn't know you're working on this for two years.
Jared
Well, it's. Yeah, like I said, it wasn't like two years straight in my life.
Ryan
What if you've been like, yeah, I'm not really sure about this segment. I don't think we should do it.
Tyler
You're like, yeah, that idea sucks, Jared. Oh, okay.
Miles
He's spent like the last six months working up the courage to pitch it. Yeah. Yeah.
Tyler
Every weekend.
Miles
He spent six months prepping the idea for it. Then he spent two years working on it. Six months to pitch. So it's a three year thing in the making. Yeah.
Ryan
He even went through, like, Andy Elliott online course training just to Pitch you the pitch you the right bit.
Tyler
The art of the pitch.
Ryan
Yeah. He comes in with a shirt off.
Miles
Again. Jared also has another segment for us, Mr.
Jared
Potato Head.
Tyler
Jared, you're cooking. How many years have you been working on this one?
Jared
This is about a less than a week.
Miles
Okay. All right. So Jared's dreamt up another segment for us called Mr. Potato Head. Jared, what is. What is this?
Jared
So most people know what. Mr. Potato Head. You can put the arms where the nose goes. You can.
Miles
And no goes. Yep. Yeah.
Jared
Nose goes. So I thought it'd be a cool idea to, like, what would be the perfect uncle? Mr. Potato Headstyle. Like, what kind of feet would he have? What kind of brain would he have? What kind of, like, personality traits would he have? And this could be, like, real characters, fictional characters, or somebody you know as well.
Miles
Do you guys feel like the perfect uncle is fat or skinny?
Tyler
Fat.
Miles
So I'm going Kevin James's body.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
For the uncle.
Tyler
We're on the same page because the first thing that I thought of was Chris Farley.
Miles
Yeah. Okay, so we can do a cross. Well, let's do. Yeah, we do a cross between Farley and Kevin James.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Body type.
Ryan
I understand humor is, like, an intangible thing, but can we put humor on this? Yeah, I would like Theo Vaughn's humor.
Miles
Okay.
Ryan
That's a per. That's a personal thing. It might not resonate with everybody.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. He'd be the uncle that. He would stir the pot a little on Christmas accidentally.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
You'd say something weird.
Miles
Yeah. I'm trying to think if we could fuse him with someone else, like a.
Ryan
Nate Bargacky maybe, or Shane Gillis.
Tyler
Shane is more uncle vibes than Bargadsky is a thing.
Miles
Villis is what you're saying. Thane Villas. Humor type is a wild thing.
Ryan
Thane Gone.
Miles
Thank God.
Ryan
Thane Gillison.
Jared
There you go.
Miles
Thane Gillison. Okay. I guess we'll commit to that. That's fine. I. I mean, what else is there? Is he. Yeah. I feel like, what kind of car does this guy drive? I feel like he's got to be Jesse Pinkman off of in his El Camino.
Ryan
I was gonna say, like, probably like a 2011 Toyota Tacoma, maybe.
Tyler
Yeah, I was. I was thinking, like. Like Ryan's High School Grand Prix.
Miles
Yeah, I. I was kind of also going like, Billy Bob Thornton. Bad News Bears.
Jared
Oh, yeah.
Miles
Driving that beater.
Ryan
Sure.
Miles
It's kind of the vibe. I was thinking Billy Bob Thornton's a great example of the guy you'd Be a great uncle to have.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
What. What other things we need to decide about this guy?
Jared
Jared?
Miles
See, you were hoping we were going down. We do the. Okay, we'll do the. What do we. Whose left leg do we want to.
Tyler
Give this left leg for a good uncle.
Miles
Left leg.
Tyler
Let's go with Uncle Jesse from Full House and take his left legs.
Miles
Right leg. Ryan.
Ryan
Probably Lieutenant Dan.
Tyler
A peg leg. Uncle.
Miles
Are we giving him a peg leg?
Ryan
No, no, we'll give him two legs. We'll give him two legs.
Miles
No, you already said Lieutenant Dan. Okay, Jared, what's his right arm?
Jared
I feel like you need a strong arm to lift kids. Like a jungle gym type thing. Yeah, let's do Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
I'll go left arm. I'll go. I'll go left arm. McLovin character on.
Tyler
Nice. Yeah, Yeah.
Miles
I was thinking clearly. Just he's jerks off a lot with his right arm. Yeah.
Tyler
Yep. Yeah. I was gonna say we go Chalamet on the. On the left. We go right Schwarzenegger, just skinny guy, left arm.
Miles
Very similar type body types. Yes.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
What else we gotta. What kind of belly we talking on this guy?
Tyler
We'll go the. We'll go the Farley Kevin James belly hybrid.
Miles
I think we go Stevo back tattoo on this guy.
Tyler
Dig that.
Miles
But make them hairy. Is there a guy that's got a notoriously hairy back?
Jared
Chris Farley's back.
Miles
What. What about his lips? What kind of lips you want on your uncle? Chapped.
Ryan
Chapped.
Miles
See, like, this is why this segment, Jared. It gets a little weird with your uncle. Yeah. You know, like, what kind of. You want. What kind of wiener you want on your uncle? Like, it's just. You should have went.
Ryan
Got a good option right here. Johnny Sins.
Miles
Okay. Johnny Sins. So you got an uncle with Johnny Sinscock, by the way.
Jared
Congratulations.
Ryan
And you're. You're. Yeah. Like, you're envious of your uncle because he's number one, he's cool. Number two, he lays pipe.
Miles
I think we go George Costanza hairdo, be great.
Tyler
I think we go Steve Buscemi's eyes. Frog eye.
Miles
Yeah, that's fine. It's fine.
Ryan
I think we go, like.
Miles
I think we go Cam Newton years.
Ryan
I was gonna go Kurt Angles ears.
Tyler
Oh, call flowered up.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
We'll do one Cam Newton near one cow flower.
Jared
Cam Newton's hat.
Ryan
The top hat. Yeah, that's a good one.
Tyler
We could go Cam Newton's hair.
Jared
Dreadlocks.
Tyler
Yeah. Well, he. We have plenty of options to choose from. He's done several. He's had a bird's nest in his hair once.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
And I think we can go. Mr. Deeds. Doesn't he have a frost bitten foot? Because he only got one foot. Let's make a frost bit.
Ryan
No, like, this is the uncle that's probably just not getting invited to family functions anymore. It's kind of the line that we're.
Tyler
Monstrosity. We've created a monster.
Miles
It's like. It's like the monsters that get created on Spy Kids with the kids drawing.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
It's like what this guy's turned into be Floops Fuglies. Yeah. If anyone wants to make this person in Photoshop, I would love to see. We don't have to see the Johnny Sins part.
Tyler
No, it could just be implied.
Miles
Yeah. You could maybe do like a Pringle. Count down the inside of his jeans. Yeah, you know, that works. That'll be implied.
Tyler
And he'll dress like the dude from Lebowski.
Miles
Oh, the Dude. You want him dressed like the dude in a robe?
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
He's got more than the robe on.
Miles
Well, no, I know, but he's always wearing a robe, isn't he?
Tyler
Yeah, that sweater.
Miles
Yeah. Okay, great segment.
Ryan
Don't tell us that you worked on that for two years.
Miles
He did tell us beforehand that it is somewhat of a half bake idea.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
A half baked potato head.
Ryan
And maybe the subject that we had chosen. We could maybe flip flop.
Tyler
We'll do aunt next week.
Miles
Aunt in law. More fun.
Tyler
Aunt in law is definitely more fun.
Miles
Less weird.
Ryan
Noted.
Tyler
Right boob Pam. Left boob of Pam.
Ryan
Like 2000 Pam. Or like.
Tyler
Yeah, okay.
Miles
Yeah, you gotta go full prime on all those.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
1989 Pam Boobs.
Ryan
There's no clarification on any of these picks. Just all prime.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
And then the next we could do steps. Steps.
Miles
This is incredible. For the dump truck.
Ryan
We'll go Elastigirl. We'll go Maytag. Washer and dryer. I'm not that out of pocket.
Tyler
You guys put that on your quote sheet. You just saved yourself three months of work. You can actually, there's a great quote for you for the next time at least you know your uncle lays pipe. Ryan episode. Whatever this is before you.
Miles
Wait, you said that?
Tyler
No, no, no, no.
Ryan
I said, said. I said, number one, he's cool. Number two, he lays pipe.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah.
Jared
Too late. I already wrote it down.
Ryan
He's a pipe layer.
Miles
You got a couple of Patreon questions or.
Jared
I do Vinnie Colombo jobs. You would not want to ever work.
Tyler
Miles. You don't really make concrete sound awesome.
Miles
Yeah, I wouldn't be. Yeah, I. You put that on your list. Yeah, for sure. Would I do not.
Jared
I think for me it would be teacher. Middle school teacher.
Tyler
Almost was one of those.
Miles
Yeah, I feel like teacher, but I feel like even younger, like first grade. There's no reasoning with first graders. No, you know what I mean? At least a middle school, they like have at least a brain so you can work with. Whereas like first graders, they're just doing do. They're just. They're just licking desks and you know.
Ryan
Pissing in corners, wiping their boogers underneath.
Tyler
So. Yeah, I think you're. You're almost on the middle schoolers. That's what I did my practicum. They're rabid animals. You can train a first grader. You like trick them into doing. You can't trick those 12 year olds.
Miles
Yeah, okay. It's a good one.
Ryan
I'm probably out on being an accountant.
Miles
Yeah, cut you out.
Ryan
Yeah, you can account me out on that one.
Tyler
I just.
Ryan
I don't know, I look at accounts and like we need them, but that ain't for me. I'm not. I can't be crunching numbers and staring at a computer screen all day.
Miles
I think being a door to door salesman sounds pretty terrible.
Tyler
I would rather do that though than cold call people.
Miles
Sure.
Tyler
I would rather be door to door than a cold call salesman.
Miles
Oh God, no. At least you gotta perform. You gotta put on act as door to door sales.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
But 90, there's no face to face in. And cold calling. Cold calling sucks. But there's no face to face. Door to door is like you have to look that person in the eye when they tell you to get the off their property.
Tyler
And then it's a relief. You just get back in your car and you get more window time.
Miles
You just. You just walk to the next door. It's door to door.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Not door to car.
Miles
Car door.
Tyler
You gotta move your vehicle. Eventually you're just back. The quicker they say no, the quicker you're back in your car.
Ryan
It depends on if you're 90 minute parking or not. It's true, you know, 30 minute, 90 minute. Yeah. If it's during the winter time, you can't.
Miles
You got 90 minute parking in your neighborhood.
Ryan
No, I'm just saying it's crazy.
Miles
Yeah. Being a door door salesman. Fargo, North Dakota, between the months of December and March. Sounds like the worst job in the world. World.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
So we go south, migrate.
Tyler
You Follow the ducks.
Ryan
Probably like a customer service representative for like a credit card company or something.
Tyler
I thought you'd say customer service rep for like a social media group.
Ryan
No, for like a. Like just having to answer phone calls. And the only phone calls you're answering are when people are just absolutely pissed. Yes. Or.
Miles
Or working the counter at an airline people. I think that might be the. Getting flights canceled, delayed, or whatever that causes people pain while they're traveling on airplane. Makes people hysterical.
Ryan
For sure.
Miles
I mean, it's like you could. I. I was on a flight like last week or whatever where we got on the plane, sat in our seats, and the lady on the intercom just goes, so, ladies and gentlemen, we don't have any pilots and we don't know when we're going to get pilots. So if you want, you can just go get off the plane and go hang out by the. In the terminal until we tell you if we got pilots or not. And just the people you could feel behind me, in front of me, just getting tense. Then this one gal came up and was just grilling the flight attendant. Who. The flight attendant was like me in the mustache competition. She just didn't have any information. I've been on this plane, I don't have any information. She's grilling like, I have to get to this place by tomorrow. What do we. Are we getting pilots? Are we not?
Jared
Brutal.
Miles
Oh, and it's just. They just. It makes people go crazy.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Something about airports make people go insane.
Tyler
Because you're already on edge because you're going through the security lines. You're on a crunch, so you're already, like, juiced up. So any little inconvenience is enough to break the camel's back.
Miles
Like, I do not. I do not envy the person that has to work the. The counter if my dad's plane gets cancelled because my dad is notoriously terrible with customer service people. You know, the. When he gets a new phone, you know, if something doesn't go right at the restaurant.
Tyler
You know, my dad's kind of a too when he does that stuff and.
Miles
Yeah, just something about boomers. They just don't respect customer service whatsoever. Yeah. And that would be a nightmare scenario. What are you laughing at?
Tyler
And I had nothing.
Miles
You're. You left.
Tyler
No.
Ryan
Say it.
Miles
It.
Tyler
No, I'm not gonna.
Miles
Is it about my dad or your dad?
Tyler
Mine.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
I don't have any customer service stories of your dad.
Ryan
Say it.
Miles
No, no, he's. He's fine. I can tell when Tyler really does want to Say something. He really doesn't want to say this, so. But if you want to say, you can.
Tyler
I'll tell you after. Okay.
Jared
I'll make sure. Of course.
Miles
Yeah. I'm kidding.
Jared
Anglo Zanzibar war survivor for Tyler. Oh, I was listening to an older episode, and I don't think we ever heard the outcome of your garden bones.
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Jared
And what are you doing if you found.
Miles
If there are.
Jared
If they aren't any. Sorry. And what are you doing if you find out they aren't animal bones?
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
Just never fails.
Ryan
But I get it because you're having to read other people's grammar. Yeah.
Miles
But it's like. And I mean this in no offense, like, objectively, Jared's the worst reader of all of us, and we have him be the guy reading the stuff every episode. It's just.
Tyler
Wait.
Miles
We just keep track of how many days until a Jared question stumble. We have a little board on the wall.
Tyler
Anyways, so the buddy. The update is. There is no update. The buddy I gave him to.
Ryan
That's good because it's a podcast.
Miles
Yeah, that's great.
Tyler
The buddy I gave him.
Miles
Question Jared.
Tyler
The buddy I gave them to got really sick and was in the hospital for a month and a half.
Ryan
Sure.
Tyler
So I. I don't know if he ever.
Miles
This guy must really not want to help you out. Yeah, he made up. He was in the hospital for a month and a half.
Tyler
I went to visit him. Actually scared the out of him.
Miles
You went and visit him? Did you, like, walk in and just be like, hey, so how the bones going figured out for me?
Tyler
No. So actually I went to visit him, and there was nobody at the desk to where you check in. So I just walked to his room with me and another buddy, and we went in his room. He's in there. He's passed out. And so we just sat. We were just sitting there. We didn't want to wake him up. And then he, like, sort of stretched her and he stuck his hand out and was, like, reaching. My buddy's like, grab his hand. So I. So I grabbed his hand and, like, held his hand. And he woke up. He's like, this oxygen came out of his nose and his alarm started going off. And then the nurses came running in. And then here are two guys that didn't get visitors badges. Because there was no one at the desk. Like, who are you guys? What are you doing here? And his alarms are going off. The Is spiking. And he's like, they're my friends. They're my friends. And then I got them all settled down. We almost got kicked out of a hospital for killing our buddy.
Jared
Been kicked out of nicer places.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
So do you figure out the bones? No.
Tyler
So I don't even know. I forgot to ask him. So I will, I will check with him.
Ryan
No, no, I'm sure like.
Miles
Yeah, don't worry. Don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah. Do you think he actually ran him them?
Tyler
I doubt he has random, but he, he can, he has them.
Miles
It's just hard to find good help these days.
Ryan
Yeah, send him in a 23andMe or something.
Miles
Oh, also is he doing okay now?
Tyler
Yeah, he's good now. Okay.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
How long has he been out of the hospital?
Tyler
I think it's almost a month now.
Miles
The he been doing.
Tyler
I'll be honest, I kind of forgot about the, that I gave him the bones until I saw this question come in on the email.
Ryan
I do think about it from time to time.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
Girth Brooks, question for miles. What advice would you give somebody looking to start their own small business? For Context, I am 22, currently a logger who does beef on the side. I would like to grow my herd and self butcher. Any advice?
Miles
Yeah, I don't, I'm not well versed in the beef game. I would for sure get an LLC set up.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Depends on how. What kind of advice do you think he's looking for?
Tyler
No idea.
Ryan
He's looking to grow the herd. What do you think he should do? She just start selling a family and friends right away. See how that goes. If you get, you know.
Miles
Man, it's tough.
Tyler
You gotta bring your butcher stuff to the local farmers market to start.
Miles
Yeah. Read the question one more time.
Jared
What advice would you give somebody looking to start their own small business? For Context, I am 22, currently a logger who does beef on the side. I would like to grow my herd and self butcher. Any advice?
Miles
Okay, number one, you need to decide right here, right now on if you're going to grow it it to make this just your new job because you like it or if you're going to grow it to like where you would hire people underneath you. Because if you just, if you don't want to deal with people, you should definitely just keep it as a one man operation. Because people who don't like dealing with people and start a business that is only about managing people, they end up miserable.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So you need to figure that out right here, right now. Do you want to, you want to hire a team and manage people? If you don't Then you definitely need to not set your company up and know it going in that you're only going to make so much money because you only have so much time, and you're the only one doing it.
Tyler
One side note. I also think you might have a better shot going into logging rather than trying to start a small farm operation.
Miles
Yeah, I just. I don't have any details, but.
Ryan
Well, it sounds like he's just. He works for a logging company right now.
Tyler
Right.
Ryan
Doesn't want to work for anybody.
Tyler
If you want to start or start a business, I think logging is a better venture than I think.
Miles
I think he's. Yeah, I think he sounds like he likes.
Tyler
I know. I just. He likes the beef. He wants to do the beef.
Ryan
But I'm just saying the log is probably better route.
Miles
Yeah. Beef. It's what's for dinner. What's for dinner? That's step one. You. You can't do anything until you figure that out because it also determines, like, what moves you make, you know, Beef.
Ryan
It's what. It's what's behind the curtains.
Tyler
Quote, put that on your list, Jerry. We're going to have the next episode ready in two weeks now that we're paying attention. And get them all wrong. Y. Who said beef? It's what's behind the curtain.
Ryan
Whoops.
Jared
One fun fact. The word boycott actually comes from a guy's Last name.
Ryan
Name.
Jared
Captain Charles Boycott. Back in the 1800s, he was a land agent in Ireland. Farmers wanted to lower rents because. Because times were tough. But boycott said no and tried to keep kick people off the land. In response, the whole community basically froze him out. Workers wouldn't farm his land, shops wouldn't sell to him. Even the mailman stopped delivering his letters. It worked so well that he had to leave under military guard, and newspapers picked it up. After that, people started using his name to boycott.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
I thought it was going the route that he was the guy boycotting.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
But he got boycotted.
Tyler
Yeah. So they're giving other companies the boycott treatment.
Miles
Yeah, I like that. What were you gonna say? It's what you were laughing.
Ryan
No, it was. It had nothing to do with what the fun fact was.
Miles
Okay.
Ryan
I thought Jared was gonna stumble again.
Tyler
Oh.
Miles
That'S actually very. I didn't know that.
Tyler
What a kick in the nuts for that guy is his whole legacy for being a. Yeah.
Miles
What year was that in the 1800s? What did they call it, you think before that?
Tyler
This might have been the first time they tried it.
Miles
Like. Oh, it. Like this worked? Yeah. Oh, My God, I wish I doing this for everything, you know?
Ryan
Good fact.
Tyler
It's a fun one.
Miles
All right. Is that it, Jared? Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet yout Radio. Have a great week. We'll see you next one.
Tyler
Love you.
Jared
All four of you are trapped on an island. The only thing left on the island to eat is a loaf of garlic bread. You guys appointed Miles to be in charge. Miles. Who do you split it with and why? Or if you're even gonna split it.
Ryan
Well, I think I'm out right away.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, but you.
Tyler
You.
Miles
So Tyler and Ryan are. Tyler and Jared have more. They have more skin to keep them alive.
Ryan
Correct, Correct.
Miles
So you maybe need. You have less storage calories on your body.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's okay. Yep.
Miles
So therefore, you may need it more than they will.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
But you also need less food, I imagine, than Jared and Tyler as well. Just going off of stored calories at this point.
Jared
You're not fed. You have a lot of stored calories.
Tyler
I'm not big boned. I have stored calories.
Miles
Just storing calories in case of a martial law situation.
Jared
I respect that.
Tyler
I literally got a tick tock ad the other day for a book. It's like. And it's called what to do in Martial Law. Like, it knows me. Tick tock.
Miles
Let me guess. You. You bought it. You wrote a book report on it and had time to do that and polish your rims on your truck, too.
Tyler
That was before. Before I went to the dump and after I built a new fire ring.
Miles
Yeah, of course. And a sword.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Forgot about that.
Ryan
Well, and the whole In. In between all of this, he's setting up for a garage sale.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And that's the thing. If I had a garage sale, I wouldn't be able to think about anything other than tending the till.
Ryan
Correct.
Miles
And I know that, like, even while people were there, he's spraying bug spray on his lawn. I just can't do that. I don't know how you do it. I don't know. You're a special human. All right. Garlic bread, I think I make. I think. I think I take half.
Ryan
I mean.
Miles
Okay, so I'm doing that. I'm doing. Yeah. I'm in charge. So you gotta remember that. Like, it also depends on what I think the odds are that we're making it off this island. If I'm gonna die anyways, I may just eat the whole thing. And then if you guys kill me for it, then it's like, I Was already gonna die. Just I got to do my last meal.
Ryan
Understandable. Yep.
Miles
But for the sake, there is hope to get off the island. I think I take half for myself. I let you guys have the. Each a third of the second half. I then eat a quarter of the full loaf of bread and I keep the last quarter in case you got for leverage over you guys for later. Sure, sure.
Tyler
Can't keep it too long, though. Or just go to waste.
Miles
Yeah, I. I don't worry about it.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
You don't keep him in charge. Also, I love these questions where I'm in charge. If we can do more mil questions, I know exactly what to do.
Jared
We can do a hashtag charged up. Miles.
Miles
I'm absolutely in charge. I'm. I'm large and in charge.
Jared
I love these questions.
Miles
I love these questions where I'm in charge. I could start a whole podcast. New spin off podcast calls Miles. And Miles is in charge. And it's just Jared asking me questions what I would do if I was in charge.
Jared
Okay. What if you had M M's instead of garlic bread?
Miles
Well, then I separated my color, and then I teach them a lesson about how that's not the way to do it. And then I mix them back together.
Ryan
And then by that time, they're all melt in the sun.
Miles
Well, no, they don't melt because they got the harder coating. That's like the whole thing. That's Eminem's whole thing. Thing is like they made the. The hard candy outside so it wouldn't melt in your pocket.
Ryan
Really?
Miles
Obviously, if you like it, it comes easier to smash. And when you open it, it's smearing, but. Yeah.
Jared
Which color?
Tyler
The lady green.
Miles
Yeah, she just smoke. Smash.
Tyler
Eat that right up.
Miles
Yeah, I'm taking the greens. Yeah. Miles is in charge. And then we just. Any scenario. Name another scenario.
Jared
If you were in charge of a football team and who out of Ryan and Tyler, who would coach offense? Who would coach defense?
Miles
I would have. It's great question, actually, but I know exactly what to do with it.
Tyler
Neither. I am offensive coordinator and defensive.
Miles
I was anticipating a little bit of you being like, how would you just win a Super Bowl? And I would just say you just keep cycling through quarterbacks until you find the one and then worry about the rest later. So I'm gonna put that out there. It's my answer to that. And I can answer that question that you didn't ask because I'm in charge. Secondly, I actually am. I think my philosophy would be aggressive defense and slightly more conservative. Offense, wear them down till the fourth quarter. And so Ryan's going to run the defense because I want him all fucking jacked up, running around squirrely. We're actually going to have. Have a blitz called squirrel. And it's gonna be sending our insane safety spearing someone in the back. Yeah. Down the middle. Splits.
Ryan
Yep. Straight through the hole.
Miles
And then I want Tyler slow and methodical.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
I want him three yards in a cloud of dust. I want a tight end dump pass over the middle, a little.
Tyler
Little te pop.
Miles
But then every once in a while, when you put a karaoke machine in front of Tyler, he goes buck wild. Wild. And that will be actually what our play is called. It's called buck wild. And it's going to be a trick play. And we're gonna go right. Take the top off the defense. We're gonna go deep. So that's how we're gonna. That's the DNA of our team.
Jared
So just Iowa.
Miles
No, we're. We're not going to be as conservative offensively as Iowa.
Tyler
Gotcha.
Miles
You know, we'll run.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
We'll run shotgun.
Ryan
And you got to remember the D is going to score too well.
Miles
We'll only put two tight ends on the field at once, not three.
Tyler
This. This is. It sounds very similar to Detroit's offense. 20, 24.
Miles
Yeah, probably. We're gonna bite some fucking kneecaps. Yep. And then Jared will be our special teams coordinator. And Jared, this is where your creative juices just get the flow. I want. I want you. I want you running trick plays. Every special teams play onside kick fake punts. No, we're. That's where we're different from I. We're not punting. We're fake punting.
Tyler
Every single time.
Miles
Every single time.
Tyler
We're gonna fake, fake punt and actually punt one time.
Miles
That's part. That's a fake, is it not? Yeah, it's. Big Cat came up with the fake punt. Punt. And. And then also, you know, we'll pick a random quarter every game to do the P90X approach.
Tyler
Muscle confusion.
Miles
Yeah, but it won't be. It'll be. It'll be the. The other team's muscle is their brain, and we're going to confuse them mentally and we're going to completely switch what we're doing. Right. Ryan will be the offensive coordinator and Todd will be the defensive coordinator, and they're not going to know what to do to be no tendencies. They don't know which quarter it's going to happen. They don't know what Drives. It's going to happen. All of a sudden, Jared's calling offensive plays. You know, Ryan. Ryan runs a blitz. Runs a normal package on punt return blitzes, blocks a punt. You just never know where it's coming from.
Ryan
I mean. Yeah. How do you even watch film on a team like that?
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Especially in high school.
Miles
Yeah. Oh, this is a high school team?
Ryan
I think so.
Miles
I was feeling more college.
Jared
I was like, I kind of picked college picture.
Miles
Okay. All right.
Tyler
I had NFL in my head.
Miles
Because if it's high school, we're doing a completely different approach.
Ryan
Oh, okay.
Jared
Do it the opposite way.
Miles
Said if I'm doing high school, I'm. I'm blitzing every play for sure.
Tyler
Let them make them burn you.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
How many high school quarterbacks actually have the ability to process information fast enough to read a blitz?
Miles
And 100%.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
And then if you get up against a good quarterback, you. You still blitz the. Out him. He's going to wear him down. Down.
Ryan
He's got a crumble.
Tyler
A crumble hit him in the teeth a couple times.
Ryan
At 17 years old, he doesn't know how to handle pressure.
Tyler
And if he doesn't and he somehow just maintains composure and is sharp the whole time, you got beat by the next goat. That's fine.
Ryan
And I'll be yelling that as D coordinator on the sidelines, he doesn't know.
Miles
How to handle pressure.
Ryan
Really. Out with 17 year old.
Miles
He's a. Bury him.
Ryan
No, no, Raph, I'm just. I'm talking to my team out there. I'm getting fired up. You know, it's not directed at the quarterbacks. Directed at my team to direct it to my quarterback. They're just a middleman.
Miles
Yeah. Yep. So again, easy peasy.
Jared
National championship.
Ryan
Lemon Squeezy, which is actually the name of another play of ours. I can't tell you it, though.
Miles
Let's see.
Ryan
That's Lemon Squeezy.
Miles
I'm. I'm the CEO. They're just running their own thing. They have the autonomy to run their own thing. I didn't even know about Lemon Squeez until just now.
Tyler
See, and sweet.

In this episode, the You Betcha crew dishes out their signature Midwestern banter to identify the unmistakable behavioral markers of someone who’s worked construction. Using stories, past experiences, and sharp observations, they celebrate and poke fun at the quirks of blue-collar life, connectivity with Midwest identity, and the broader world of “man culture.”

The episode is full of warm, self-deprecating Midwestern humor. The hosts trade jabs and stories with an easy camaraderie and commitment to nostalgic, relatable bits. “Man culture” habits are extolled and lampooned in equal measure. The tone is casual, playful, and at times absurdly inventive, all while doubling down on the “Midwest Guy” identity.
This episode is a prime showcase of the You Betcha style: lampooning the blue-collar Midwest, celebrating old-school guy quirks, and inventing wild new segments from nearly nothing. If you’ve ever worked construction—or ever wondered what makes construction guys tick and talk—you’ll feel right at home in the gas station lunch parking lot with this crew.
