A
Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of you Bet yout Radio. The boys are back in the studio. We're feeling good this weekend.
B
I'm feeling okay.
A
I have my family over. I have my family over for dinner.
C
Nice.
A
And we had burgers and was like, I'm craving an American dinner. She's like, I want cheeseburgers, I want fries, and I want milkshakes. Nice.
C
Fries are French, but fries are French. Burgers are German.
D
Freedom fries.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
I didn't say French fries. I didn't. I didn't I just say fries?
B
You did say fries.
A
I never said that they were French.
C
Okay.
A
All right.
B
No, you're. Yeah, I'm just keeping you on your toes.
C
Potatoes in general are Irish.
A
And I got a. Last summer, I got a new grill. And, you know, I'm still trying to dial in, getting the perfect for each meat, the perfect time and temp for it. And this last weekend, I'm gonna be honest, I got pretty lucky. And I cooked the burgers to perfection. That's.
B
That's 90 of my. Of my. My grilling experiences is luck.
A
Yeah, dude, they were. They were juicy burgers. So they started, you know, leaking some grease down into where the flame was. Yeah. And it looked like my girl was
B
on fire, like a hibachi grill or something.
A
It did. Yeah. I lifted up the hood, and I was like, holy, are you spraying? And I had it underneath an awning on my patio. I need to scoot this thing away from the house further.
B
Yeah.
A
But I, you know, pulled out a veteran move, got the burgers up on the top shelf, cool them off a little while still. Maybe cook the inside a little more. Don't char them up too much. It came out perfect.
B
Did you?
A
And I walked it off. Like, I do that every time.
B
Yeah. I mean, it's a reverse sear type situation. Do you. Do you only flip your burgers once or where you kind of flip them and then flip them back?
A
If that's my goal. I mean, there's times where I've had to maybe flip her again.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Because they say to the point now where I'm good enough, I think, to just flip it once. Sure.
B
You got to eye it up.
A
Yeah, I. I'm a one flip wonder, as we would say.
B
Do you ever cut one in half just to test the water, see where you're at with.
A
No, that is. That is. I mean, at that point, you might as well just have your wife grill. No.
B
Okay.
A
You know.
B
No, I'm totally with you. The best thing the Best thing about having a kid, though, is I'm going to. I'm going to have to cut that bur up anyway. So I'm. I'm gonna cut one in half. Just to make. Just to make sure I can really dial it in.
A
Is as soon as, you know how, like, the juices start coming out the top of the burger, they're like, got the. They're either a little. Slightly red or pink or there's like some other goo with it. As soon as those juices run clear, I pop the suckers off.
B
Oh, that's a. Yeah, that's.
A
I don't know where I picked that up. Someone told me that.
C
Probably your dad.
A
Probably my dad.
C
Yeah.
A
That's. That's the way that I do it. Give it a little. Little. Just a tiny tap with the spatula. Sure. And if those juices that come out of it are clear, you're in the clear, dude.
B
And grilling, I don't know if that's
A
correct, and maybe someone who's more of a grill master than me can correct me.
B
Tyler, what do you think?
C
I think. I think it sounds about right.
A
I think it also kind of probably depends on how. Yeah. How people want it done. You know, some people like their burgers a little more on the rare side, so you probably want to not wait till there. But if you want it done, you know, close to all the way through, that's kind of how it is.
C
Yeah.
B
Cooking.
A
My wife and my mom are sticklers. They don't want a pink burger.
C
No, my wife's the same. Any. Any teeny bit of pink in a burger, she's out.
B
See, those are the easiest burgers to grill, though, because you just. Fuck, you just.
A
Hockey puck. Yeah, pretty much just give me a hockey.
B
I mean, if you're gonna eat it fresh off the grill, it still. It still tastes pretty good. If you're gonna eat it left over the next day, that's when you're gonna be just.
C
You're gonna crumple it up and it's
B
ground like a mouthful of Skittles and your jaws just dead tired.
C
Even going through Easter candy or what?
B
No, I just like. Every time I think about having a tired jive, just think of it. Eat a bunch of Skittles.
A
Try eating the Skittles gum. That really gives you a. I don't think I've ever.
C
I haven't thought about Skittles gum in.
A
I remember. I remember I had it one time. I convinced my Skittles gum back in the day when it first Came out, and I got them in my mouth, and they taste exactly like Skittles. And I had to constantly actively think about not swallowing.
C
Right. It was a mind, because it was a complete mind. They made it too close to the real thing.
A
That my mind was like, oh, these are Skittles. I should swallow them.
B
What if you did? Just think it would probably still be in your system. Yeah.
C
20 years.
B
Gum stays in your system for 20 years.
C
I think. Yeah.
A
I think 25.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. You still be there.
C
I still have some Hubba Bubba I need to out from childhood.
B
Yeah. You ever throw, like, three pieces Hubba Bubba in and.
C
And then have a sore jaw? Yeah,
B
that was the best.
A
Also. I'm. Yeah, I'm just doing a mind dump here for you guys.
B
Okay.
C
Yeah. What else you got?
A
A Miles. But I went on a huge rant last night, so I got a couple things going on. One, you guys know I'm. I love space. Two, with the whole Artemis, NASA stuff going on, been top of mind. And three, I started reading the project Hail Mary book. The. Basically the guy who wrote the movie. The. The book in the movie Martian, they're coming. I think that that movie's out now. People love it, and I want to go watch it. So I was like, screw it. I'll read the book. I never do that. Read it first, then I'll go watch the movie. So now I've got. I got. I'm tripled up on space. And I had the realization, you know, I was on. I don't know if it was Twitter or wherever, but people were talking about, like, it's so great that we are gonna, you know, travel the. The galaxies, like, because, you know, it's so fun that we're doing that again. And I kind of got pissed, but also had a realization that we're not going anywhere. By the way, we're going to the moon. Correct? We're going to the moon and we're going to Mars, and that's fucking it. We go anywhere else, it's just not. It's not happening. I started doing the math, people, because space is so big that no one can comprehend it, right? So the nearest galaxy. So let's say we're like, all right, we want to go to another galaxy. The nearest galaxy is 2.5 million light years away. Now, do you know how fast light speed is? So I know we can't go.
C
We can't.
A
We can't go to the speed of light, but we can get close to it. So even if we were. Even if we went 50% of the speed of light. That would take us 5 million years to get there. The speed of light is 600. Should fact check me because I try to remember off top of my head. 670 million miles an hour. The fastest we've ever gotten anything to move in the universe that we've made was like 430,000 miles an hour. So it's like 016% of the speed of light. Doing the math. To go to the nearest star. Which is. Which is I think the nearest true besides our son. To go the next solar system. I don't know if it's like two and a half million, two and a half light years away or something. So much shorter distance than two and a half million. It would. To go to the next star at our current speed. Oh God no. To go to the. To go to the next galaxy. The closest galaxy. It would take us 180,000 years at the fastest we've ever gotten something to move. Like we are stuck here. The. The idea that we are going to be. You know, we're going to get certain technology that's going to allow us to colonize the universe will never get there.
C
Yeah. And if we do it won't. No one alive when they leave Earth will be alive when they get to the place.
A
Well. Not even close. They're right. Their great, great, great, great grandchildren won't even be alive.
C
Right. Because the only way to ever do it is to create something stable enough to last that long and have some sort of cryo sleep sort of situation.
A
So be able to move at almost the speed of light.
C
Right. Which. That's the only way to ever do it. There's no way you're ever going to take somebody awake, put them on a ship and then they get to another solar system. It's just it. It's impossible. We'll never figure it out. Yeah. No matter how advanced we ever get.
A
So like we're not going anywhere. My long rant. But I just was sitting on the patio with an last night. And she was just like. What is. Why are you so worked up about this? And maybe it was an existential crisis that I was having.
C
Are you trying to get that we
A
have a ceiling on how far we can go? It's a species.
B
But does anyone know what the day. Anyone know what the date was yesterday?
C
4:20. Dude. What were you doing?
A
It's not partaking. I promise. You guys ever thought about that? That we're not going anywhere?
D
No.
A
Like we are just one. We're just we're just one big ratchet strap. We're not going anywhere.
B
Yeah, no, I. Yeah, I just. I came to the conclusion that I'll just be here until I die.
C
Yeah.
A
But no, we're gonna be here forever.
B
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
A
We're never leaving. Farthest we're going as Mars.
C
We're Milky Way or die. We're stuck here, baby.
D
It would be cool to have a condo like on the Saturn rings or something like.
A
Yeah, like a moon of Jupiter.
C
Well, maybe the belters getting an asteroid belt.
B
Yeah.
A
It's just. We're not going anywhere.
D
No, no.
B
God know.
A
We're. So let's cool it a little on like, oh, my God, we're going to, you know, interstellar. We're not doing it.
D
Was it like a TikTok comment? That's you off.
A
It was on threads or. Or what am I doing on. I think it was threads. What am I doing on threads?
B
I don't know sometimes.
A
Because it always gets me. I'm in the Instagram app and then they show the threads and I have to click on it and they crop
C
it just enough for me to get enough to tickle me, but not all the way there.
A
Then I went down a rabbit hole of, you know, chat, GPT, all of this data.
C
If you're anxious about that, you're not gonna like, Hail Mary then.
A
It's not that I'm anxious. It's just we're very whimsical about space right now and think we can do anything because we orbited the moon again. And I want to be like, all right, guys, let's refocus here.
C
That's way closer than most of the places we could go. Yeah.
A
So, yeah, it was just a weird little rant that I had and just thought I'd share with the folks.
D
Would you go to the moon if offered?
A
There's nothing there for me.
D
Okay.
C
Not yet anyway.
B
Kid Cudi, dark side of the moon. Well, he'd have to be the first one first. You'd have to be the first one to go to the dark side.
A
Yeah. I don't know. To me, that just.
B
Yeah, Pink Floyd.
A
I The. What risk do I have, you know, I don't need to go to the moon.
D
What if the moon was made of cheese? Would you reconsider?
A
Consider maybe.
C
What if they proved that the moon has been a hollow drone?
A
If it's made of cheese, and then we cover the. We just dump it in oil and then let the sun deep fry it.
C
Yeah. Then we have a moon curve we
A
just got a moon curd. Would you eat the moon if it was a cheese curd?
B
Okay. That's right. I knew it was SNL mid. Yeah.
A
But like, I. I also saw on. On threads. There's a guy. It was like a photo of threads.
C
Yeah, you got it.
B
Delete.
C
You're grounded from threads and YouTube shorts. Yeah.
B
And Vero, stay off Pharaoh too. It's turning the new Tumblr.
A
So there's a photo from Artemis back to Earth. And it was like, oh, I thought we had 15, 000 satellites. Where are they in the photo? And it's like, do you realize how far away the moon is?
C
I don't think they do.
A
Like, that's like expecting to see individual humans from. From the iss might even be further than that. Anyway, sorry, I just. It's just people. I think. I think I'm mostly. This is my platform to. I need everyone to understand how big spaces.
C
And no matter how big you think you understand it being, you don't understand it.
A
It's bigger than that.
C
It is without end.
A
I don't think you understand how far away the moon is.
B
No.
A
Let alone Mars, let alone the next solar system, let alone the next galaxy.
B
Say it for the people in the back.
A
Just. We need. This is my awareness to be like, guys, let's. Let's start giving the respect to space that it deserves. We're all thinking in terms of how big our current spot is anyways. And rant over. I was. And I'm just ranting into the ether. There's not even a person. This is directed at just that one
C
guy that commented on the threads. It's at him. Shut up, dude.
A
Yeah, it's just.
B
You've got to get off threads. So big threads and barrel.
A
Space is. We can't comprehend it. What was this speed of light. That's meters per second. We're in America.
B
Is it? Yeah. Go to that first drop down. Just see if that's true.
A
Or 299 million meters per second.
B
186,000 miles per second per second.
A
Which then is like 600 some million an hour.
B
Amen.
A
So then. So my kid was playing for the flashlight this morning and I was like, anne, look at this. Watch this. This is how fast you'd have to go to. To get there in a decent amount of time. I click the light as fast as it is for that light to hit the wall. Instantaneous anyways.
B
Yeah.
A
Well, space gets me fired up.
B
They just got to be more aware. Yeah. You and Brian Cox are doing God's work.
A
I love Brian Cox. Love Brian. Anyways, what are we talking about today, Jared?
D
How to piss off.
A
How to piss off a blue collar guy space. I think, I think just. I think a good way to piss off a blue collar guy is just having a white collar job, just existing.
C
Existing and being a different career than
A
them just being in a different career.
C
It doesn't even have to be white collar. It's just. It could be just another trade.
A
That is true. You could work.
B
You could work for the same company. You're just have a higher level job.
C
Yeah.
B
And it will piss him off.
A
Yeah, yeah, basically. It's a good point. You can piss off a blue collar guy, but just having a different job than them, period.
B
Correct.
A
Yeah.
C
Like being a book. You can just get pissed off by existing outside your six man crew.
A
Yeah.
C
Like any, any other position outside of your six man crew. You dude.
B
Yeah, you could really piss a blue collar guy off. If they went to the gas station, they're like, we just ran out of White Monster. New shipment comes in tomorrow.
C
No hot food right now.
B
Yeah.
A
I'm be honest though, have you ever been to a gas station where they don't have that stock that's their number one?
B
I haven't, but I can about imagine if they didn't how much it would piss.
A
So it's like, it's like McDonald's can let the ice cream machines break, but if they don't got burgers and fries, they're fucked. I feel like that is gas stations.
B
Yeah, you're exactly right.
A
If you don't have White Monster, then you will not stay in business as
B
a gas station if there's no White Monster. Get to Tyler's bunker.
C
Yeah, the world is.
B
The world's gonna come to an end soon.
D
Gas stations sell more gallons of White Monster than actually gas.
B
For sure.
A
Yeah, they sell gas so they can sell White Monster.
B
White Monster is absolute gas.
D
The white monster, stat.
A
And you know how you and maybe you don't want me to out you on this. If you don't want me to out you on this, you can bleep it out. But how you and Jake photoshopped the Applebee's logo on the Fargo dome and posted it to the Fargo Reddit.
B
Viral.
A
You should go construction. Just say, I heard there's a new gas station starting up and just take a gas station or replace the logo with the White monster logo. Make it look like it's their sign. Yeah, I like that.
C
It's like Monster starts their own store. Like an Apple store.
B
Yeah, it'd be kind of safe.
A
There's like a. There's like a. There's like a. A monster bar instead of a genius bar. So instead of a Genius bar would be a dummy bar.
B
You just get a bunch and then
A
you just go up to there and like. It's like a mixologist for white monsters.
B
Yeah. Grand opening is just. A bunch of atheists show up. They just think it's. What would you call it? I guess they don't. I was gonna say atheist showing up because it's a 666. The 666 symbol. I was gonna say it's like a church for atheists.
A
Don't go to church.
B
You guys. You guys don't know that. Conspiracy.
A
No, yeah, I know what you're talking about. I've seen it on Threads.
C
God damn it.
B
You gotta get off Threads and Vero.
C
I either need to get on Threads or whatever this. What? I don't know what you're so.
B
You know, like the.
A
It's a really bad, deep joke that he keeps hammering.
B
Well, I only hammered it. I only said it once.
A
This is the second time you said it. Now, this podcast, it's.
B
Yeah, it's the 666 thing.
C
No, Vero.
B
Oh, yeah,
A
it was a. It was like an Instagram competitor for like two months, like 10 years ago.
B
That's because Threads is the new Vero.
A
No, Threads is owned by Instagram.
B
No, I. I understand that. That's what it's gonna be. That's what it's gonna turn into. It.
A
Threads is too big to fail. Am I secretly a Threads guy?
D
I think you are.
A
I don't know.
B
It's. You're promoting that in space this episode, so we don't even have brand deals with either, so
C
I would love to be sponsored by space NASA. Hit us up the coldest podcast in space. The only.
A
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. How have they not done a podcast from the iss?
C
Seriously, that would do numbers.
A
Numbers.
B
Yeah.
A
Also, side note, there. There is. We. We don't know enough about wormholes, but wormholes could be our loophol. Our. Our wormhole. Anyways, sorry. So if we get really lucky and wormholes actually work, then we can be interstellar. That was my final thought anyways. Yeah, boys, piss off a blue collar guy.
C
I feel like you could piss him off just by complimenting them. They don't know how to handle it, so they just handle it with anger. Yeah, he's like, what the are you talking about? What do you mean?
A
Yeah, it does Shut the up. Complimenting a blue collar guy does piss him off.
B
And then don't you love them? Follow the compliment. Compliment with telling them that.
A
Let's just blank it. Just being nice to a blue collar guy really pisses them off.
C
Just makes him so uncomfortable.
A
Also, I think people who are too happy also piss off blue collar guys. Like, nothing makes my dad more mad than of someone who's just loves life too much. It's like, what's his problem? Yeah, you know, there's something off about that guy.
C
Get real, buddy.
A
I think another thing, a pissed off blue collar guy is just anyone else's actual work and finished product.
C
Yeah.
A
Namely welds.
C
No one ever does it right.
A
Yeah, no one ever does it right. You know, they'll see welding on a cruise ship and be like, that guy didn't know what he was doing.
C
Look at this.
A
Even if it was done by a robot, they'd be like, yeah, well, that's why a human should do it.
C
Especially if it's in their own trade. They're like, well, that's not how I would have done it.
A
Like, I still do that. I haven't worked concrete in years. And I'll drive by and be like, they're doing that the wrong way. Why. Why wouldn't they just back the trailer up to the hole and slide it all off there? And they're carrying it from the road like a bunch of morons.
B
Yeah, drywallers tried to do that at my house and they ended up burying their truck in my yard, crushing the drain field and cracking my driveway.
A
I can't answer to that.
B
I know. You're not a drywall, you're a con.
A
Yeah, I was gonna say that every. The drywall morons guys.
B
Yeah, I went up to. I said, you guys are a bunch of. Said I'm not paying you under your.
A
I'll take stuff. You never said for 500 bucks.
B
Yeah, of course I did.
A
I mean, I'm a.
C
He said it inside from.
B
I was even there when it happened.
C
I said it through the ring camera.
A
No, honest.
D
He goes, are he.
A
What was happen? You heard me.
D
I'm going to wait for you to get home.
A
Sorry. My. My kid pressed the button on the. On the app.
C
Yeah, I was watching Threads that. It wasn't me. It was Threads.
A
So now Threads is just a person.
C
Threads. He was watching a video on Threads. Said, you're a.
A
You know, we don't make fun of you and all your nerdy books.
C
Oh, you don't.
A
You never do.
C
Even though you've read half of them.
A
We don't make fun of you and your canon laws that you're always spewing. No, it. You guys hating threads make me. Look, I love it even more. I'm gonna spend more time on threads
C
that doesn't affect us.
A
I'm gonna thread even harder.
B
Okay.
C
Thread the needle.
B
Yeah, yeah. We're gonna get a thread count from you every podcast every week.
A
Dude, that's actually great. Great segment idea. What have I been searching on. On thread?
C
We'll follow the thread.
A
Is that why it's named that?
C
Probably.
A
What's another good way to piss off a blue collar guy?
D
When they come in the morning to the. And then the work truck is like. Like empty on gas. Somebody didn't fill up the work truck from the day before.
C
Night shifters.
A
Yep.
C
It's the same way with the service industry. Morning staff hates the night staff.
D
Yeah.
A
Yeah. Because they never clean up correctly.
C
Even if you're the blue collar guy and, like, you're the one that didn't fill up your own work truck, you're still pissed about it the next day.
A
Pissed at yourself.
C
It's your own goddamn fault.
A
Because yesterday, me is a different person. I think another way to piss off a blue collar guy is to move
C
his stuff or use his stuff. Even if it's not his, it's the company's.
A
Yeah. It's like, all right, my truck, I know where everything is. So if you take it out of this toolbox and put it in a different toolbox, we're gonna throw hands.
B
Yeah. I'm gonna hit you with this wrench.
C
Yeah.
A
Or like, I remember a guy on our crew was a very. Probably borderline had some OCD tendencies, and so every night he would make sure that he would clean out his truck and the stuff that he, you know, whatever. And my dad used to just get so pissed because he would take stuff out of the truck that we didn't need on a regular basis, but when we really needed it, we needed it, and he wouldn't have it in his truck, and it'd drive my dad up the wall. I can't imagine that's why you don't clean out your truck.
B
Truck remote. Yeah.
D
Just telling a blue collar worker they have soft hands.
C
Yeah, yeah.
A
Lay up.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. I think when the nighttime weather, like when the nighttime weatherman tells, like, pretty much promises that we're going to get a huge thunderstorm the next day, and then you wake up and it's all
C
sunshine and rain, that'll piss them off. Yeah. Nice weather will piss them off. Yeah, it's got to work.
B
It's like when we were. When we were kids expecting a snowstorm and having. And not having school the next day, but then there's just no snowstorm.
C
Yeah.
A
Was it you that for a couple weeks there, you're ranting about how much you hate weathermen? Was that you or was that someone else?
B
Yeah, I just said I don't trust him.
C
Yeah.
D
Well, Ryan, Screenshot of the 10 day forecast to see if it was true or not.
B
Yeah. So far it's been so off, but then they switch it, like the day of. It's like, oh, here's what we. It's like. No, no, no. I got. I have.
A
It's supposed to work.
B
I have receipts from 10 days ago.
A
That's how it's supposed to.
B
Said it was going to be 60 and it's 52.
A
That's how it's supposed to work.
B
So. Yeah, I just. I. I got trust issues with them and. Yeah. Like, if I lied at my job as much as they do.
A
They're not lying. We. This is the exact argument we had. He kept saying that weathermen are liars.
B
Got him, Jared.
A
They're not lying. They're just.
B
I know.
A
They're just not reading data correctly.
B
Correct.
A
They're interpreting the data the best that they can. They're not. They're not maliciously being like, t shirt guy's gonna hate this forecast. Wrong.
B
And then like, depending on what app you're looking at, they're all different. So it's like, where are we getting all this?
A
They're all different interpretations of the data.
B
So why. Why we got to start having the same interpretation?
C
They. They pull from different weather services, like the company we worked for. Their meteorologists got their information from Noah. I don't know what it stands for. It's like the national oceanic something, something. So they got their info from there, and then different meteorologists will get their info from different weather places.
B
Who's like the elite then?
A
Like, who's the goat?
C
John Wheeler.
A
No, no, no, no. Where they get the data with the top here.
B
Noah.
C
I would assume John, because he's getting hurt. Noah, because that's where John's getting it.
A
There's like, different Papa Wheelie, specifically.
C
Wheeler's the.
B
Yeah, we know he is. We know he's great. Yeah.
D
Father Nature also.
A
He's retired now, isn't he?
B
Yeah.
A
RIP Rip.
B
Yeah, his career.
A
Yeah, his career.
D
They have, like, different weather models and then they combine them, make an educ.
C
Took out the tendencies.
D
Like there's the European model and then there's something else.
B
Gotcha.
A
Eu.
B
Yeah, Interesting. Eu.
A
So, yeah, the. The. The European model only can predict in increments of 10.
C
Get it?
A
No metric system.
C
Celsius.
A
Increments of 10.
C
What. What temperature in Celsius does water boil?
B
270.
C
That's Fahrenheit.
B
Sorry, what did you say?
C
Also not right.
B
Water boils at 270 degrees Fahrenheit, does it not?
A
I don't know.
C
212.
A
I'm a space guy.
B
Ah, 212. Yeah.
A
And there's no water in space, so I'm not.
C
It's 212 and then Celsius is 100.
D
There might be water on Mars.
B
Ah. C equals 9 over 5F. Is that the formula? C equals 9 over 5F.
A
It's on a planet.
C
I don't know.
B
Is it reversed?
C
Couldn't tell you. I don't know the formula, but I know water boils at 212Fahrenheit. 100Celsius.
A
It's mass.
B
100 cell.
D
There we go.
C
It's 100 and then freezes at zero.
B
Yeah.
D
Okay. That makes more sense.
A
Yeah, we are. Good luck keeping up on that one.
C
Great podcasting.
B
What else do you guys think pisses off construction workers besides the weatherman?
C
Their boss?
B
Probably late winters. Yeah. Expecting to get laid off and not.
A
Yeah. I feel like blue collar guys are always pissed at too much snow or not enough snow. So if there's too much snow, their snow removal gig in the winter, they have to work a bunch. But if there doesn't snow enough, they're not going to make any money in the winter. And they're pissed off about that.
B
Yeah.
C
Their wives piss him off. Just in general.
A
Yeah. So my interpretation of that is everyone pisses blue collar guys off, but they just hate their wife less than everyone else. They don't. They don't love anyone. They just hate people less. And I think that blue collar guys hate their wives less than everyone else on earth.
C
Some of them hate their wives more than anyone else on earth.
B
Yeah. Yeah, there are.
A
There are some like that. I actually think that blue collar. I. I'd. I'd throw my hand up and say that. I feel like blue collar guys are actually way more loving of their wife than other tree. Other jobs.
C
I just mostly the ex wives. Like nobody hates their ex wife more than a. Than a blue collar guy.
A
Yeah. No, dude. Nothing pisses a blue collar guy off more than their ex wife.
C
Yeah. They hate her and that's half this 50 of the things words that come out of their mouth are talking their ex wife somehow.
B
Yeah.
D
Saying you had a tough day. Alpacific blue collar.
A
Oh my God.
C
I'm sure you did.
A
Oh yeah.
D
Even if you also work blue collar say you had a tough day, they'll probably one up you and say they had a tougher day.
A
Well no, dude. Our line on the job site was always easy day for whoever was doing something different than you.
C
Not harder, just different.
A
We would need a. We would need a form basket boomed down into the hole so we could continue to do our job. The guy who would run it would climb up in there and sit in the seat. We'd be all easy day for that guy. He's just sitting around.
C
He's not even in there all day.
B
No. Playing with joysticks.
A
Yeah.
B
Playing with his own joystick.
A
Get that joystick out of here.
B
Playing with your joystick.
A
Get us a basket down here. Face dick liquor. What?
B
Okay. So in the concrete world, like what. What other subcontractor pisses concrete guys off the most?
A
Well if it. It's actually a real love hate relationship with an excavator.
C
Okay.
B
Obviously because you go excavator it can
A
make your life way easier or way harder.
C
Because they're really the only ones you cross paths with. Right. Because there's.
A
Yeah. The plumbers will come at the end of a project. But we were usually. I wasn't on the flat crew so I wouldn't have to deal with them very much.
C
Gotcha.
A
So yeah, you're like concrete guys. I feel like are the guys that just get like. Like no one sees them, you know.
C
Yeah. You know they exist but you've never. You can't.
A
They're like. They're like the worker bees. Worker ants underneath. You know, they're not going out and getting. They're just building the underneath.
B
Yeah.
A
But yeah, it's mostly the excavator.
D
If they
A
dig it too far away from where you're going to put the wall and it's like harder to brace and like that. You got to build braces longer. It's a whole thing.
B
Good to know.
C
We hated that. This theme keeps coming up over and over. But we did not like H vac people. They're putting units in stupid spots that make the grade of the roof hard. Or like why would you put that two feet from a wall? So now we got to run this. Run this piece of insulation in between here and somehow seal it with their being eight different cuts Right here. Water's gonna pool there no matter what. You Us. You H Vac.
A
Wow.
C
It's like I'm just repeating that. My former.
A
But, yeah, I didn't care.
C
I just put. I just did what I was told to do. I was not an overachiever on the roof.
D
You're a lunch bucket, Pete.
C
I was lunch bucket.
A
Another thing, Luke, this. There's a fine line with blue collar guys. Too much snow mad, not enough snow mad. If you don't care enough about your job mad, they're mad. But if you care too much about your job, they're mad as well. I medium care about your job.
C
I'm pretty confident that I. I hit that medium caring perfectly. I was never, ever trying to go above anybody voluntarily, but if you asked me to do it, I would do it.
A
Correct.
B
Yeah.
D
Construction guys are like the song Hot and Cold by Katy Perry.
C
Yeah.
A
Senior. No.
B
What?
A
We'll have to look that up on Threads later.
B
What would it be?
A
Listen to it. It's got to be Jared. There's got to be. I'm gonna start watching concerts on Threads. There's got to be a clip of Katy Perry performing that live on Thread.
C
Can we redo the Saturday night draft? Take the concerts on Threads first? Overall.
A
Yeah.
B
Gerald takes YouTube concerts. I'll take Vero concerts.
A
Dude, just like Threads is the app that I've never deliberately opened, but I somehow end up there.
B
No, I do too. They do a great job cropping the photo to make you want to see more. Yeah.
A
It's like. It's like they show you a photo and you see, like, Pam Anderson's head.
C
Yeah.
B
Then it's cropped and there's no straps on her shoulders.
C
Know that there's boobs underneath that.
A
We're talking like 1990s.
C
Yeah.
A
Well, know what? Fine.
B
What would a blue collar guy do on the job site? Like, let's say they're building a home. If. If the homeowners showed up and told them to clean up their garbage.
A
Oh, they would do it, but they would not be happy about it. That happened to us, they'd be pissy about it.
B
I'm sure.
A
Homeowner showed up, got all pissy about the garbage, and then the one dude all time crash out by one of my co workers. The. The guy was pissed about that. We left some stakes in the ground which would just get buried, and it's just like wood, you know? And so he got really pissed and took the sledgehammer and went and like, you remember when we were. The episode we were screaming into the pillow. Yeah, let all your. Into the pillow. He was doing that with the sledgehammer and pounding the stakes all the way into the ground so you couldn't see
C
them anymore instead of just pulling them
A
instead of taking them out. And, like, he did that for, like, 10 minutes straight. It was so exhausted after. But he was so mad.
C
I bet if. I bet that felt good.
A
I bet he was euphoric.
C
Yeah, dude.
B
Yeah.
A
I'm trying to remember. That was. That was. That was. It was a guy. The homeowner was kind of a quirky guy, and he was always wearing, like, military boots. And his house had so many random jogs and little rooms in the basement that we just. We're like, this guy's got us be people in this basement.
C
Have you checked in on him lately?
A
And so, I don't know, it was like, we gave him a nickname, and then we just called his house the sex Castle. That's another fun thing. Is, like, nicknaming, like, homeowners and or, like, a specific job kind of fun.
B
Sex castle.
A
Yeah. We didn't know what was going on there, but it's weird.
C
We didn't get to do that. All of our jobs were commercial, so we just called it the business. That does sound fun, though.
A
That sucks.
B
That'll piss a blue collar guy out. Yeah, he's calling it the business.
A
Yeah.
C
Hey, we're doing toffees this weekend. That's not fun.
B
Oh, you're doing tubbies. I'm doing the sex castle. And then all your.
C
That sounds sick.
B
All the roofer's like, where's it? There's a sex castle at. Is there a new sex castle in Fargo where you're like, what's the address? Not. I'm not one of them on the address, but, like, where is the address? Because we get paid on Friday, so it's like. Like, is our sex in the sex castle again?
C
I'd assume let him go memberships there.
B
They even got a private garage you can park in so your wife can't see your vehicle there. It's crazy.
A
You got a lot of preferences for sex castles.
B
No, I was more so just like, thinking of a strip club slouch. If a strip club was a sex castle. It's really not that hard to formulate through your head if you just really think about it.
C
You're not supposed to have sex in a strip club.
B
No, I know, but that. That was like. That was the inspiration for it.
C
Okay.
B
You know I like it.
A
You should post about that on Threads.
B
No one's gonna see it, though. No one's on it. It.
A
I wouldn't even know. You know, like, you. You know where all your apps are on your home screens? Like, if you're going to go to your banking app, you know exactly which page to go to and where to click it. I don't know where my Threads app is, my phone even, but I always end up on it. It's unbelievable.
D
Take you like five minutes to find it. Scroll it.
A
I'd have to search it. Like a dunce.
B
Yeah.
A
Pull it down, search it.
D
I do that for everything, really.
A
My. My phone's been doing this thing, or when I search for an app, the first thing it pops up is not the app, but the shortcut to the settings for the app in the Settings app. And so I'm constantly clicking that and going into my settings and losing my mind. So Apple, if you can fix that, it'd be great.
D
Yeah, Tim. Apple.
C
That's your list.
B
Johnny.
C
Come on. Bezos. Yeah, it's a bit. People are just getting pissed at tech and saying a random person.
A
Sure, Altman.
C
God damn it. Elon, My TV isn't working. Elon, if you could get on this, that'd be great.
D
Thanks, Steve Ballmer.
A
That's a deep cut. You work in tech anymore?
B
Laughs.
A
Well, Jared, should we take a break or what?
D
Let's do it.
A
All right, guys, before we get the next segment, I want you to go check out our patreon. Patreon.com. you bet you radio or open up the Patreon app. Search us up. Check it out. We have how many episodes now?
D
Two. 24 this week.
A
224 episodes over there on Patreon. You got to check it out. Ryan gets Squirrely. We got the Friday night highlights.
D
Friday night thread.
A
It's actually. It's a good. There's a lot of camaraderie going on over at Patreon.
D
Yeah.
A
If, you know, if you're one of the. If you're like us who just, like, think dumb is funny, you now have a collection of people who think dumb are funny all in one spot that you can. You know, I feel like, like a lot of the patrons now, they're like, yeah, I like the episodes, but I'm here to. To chat with the other patrons. You know what I mean?
C
It's a good community to get their own thing going on.
A
So go check it out on Patreon. It's a good time. It's only five bucks a month and
D
get all the extra episodes over 200 hours of content.
A
All right, Jared, what do we got?
D
We're drafting garage things.
A
So things that are gonna go. If we had to go, I. These are the top four things I want in the garage or what?
D
Yes.
B
It's NFL draft week, too. It's a good week to do it. Do a draft.
A
Where's the draft at this year?
B
Pittsburgh.
D
Pittsburgh.
B
I know because I've been nice.
A
I've never been.
B
It's a cool city also.
C
One quick Lincoln, though.
D
There's a weird thing with Pittsburgh that, like, back in the turn of the century, like 1900s, they would just put a toilet in the basement with no walls around it.
A
I have seen that.
B
Yeah, we had that in our laundry room in the first house. The house I grew up in.
D
Apparently, that's a big thing in Pittsburgh.
A
I feel like once in a while. See that in the Midwest, too.
D
Yeah, I've seen it, too.
B
My brother's got a shader in his basement, but there's walls around it. It's a full bathroom.
A
I just couldn't say it sounds just like a bathroom. Yeah. Yeah.
B
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
My friend growing up, he had one of those in the basement, but they just, like, hung sheets around the toilet.
A
But honestly, it makes sense. Like, having an extra. Especially like that is gonna be where you take your shits. 1. It's nice and cool down there. If it stinks, who cares?
C
It doesn't think it's bad, though, because it spreads out.
B
Seat gets really cold, though. That's the issue. So you have to.
C
It kind of feels nice.
B
I don't gotta bite your lip before you get on, though. Bite your lip. But you just gotta bite something. Whether it's a leather strap or whatever.
C
Bite the pillow.
A
Oh, God. Like, oh, is this gonna be bad? No, the seat's just cold.
B
A stress ball or whatever, you gotta bite.
C
Bite the pillow. It's coming out dry.
B
That's right.
A
God. Oh, my God.
B
I didn't.
A
I didn't say it. I know. I didn't say.
B
Confirmed.
C
What's the order, Jared?
D
Miles, you could start.
B
No, Miles, go ahead.
A
We'll go.
B
We'll go this way.
C
This is.
A
I don't like having the number one pick. No matter what I say, you guys are gonna roast me for.
D
You can trade your pick.
B
Oh, I got my pick locked up.
A
There's. What would be the advantage to trading for a different pick in this route, in this draft, we don't have an existing team. It's not like Tyler's got garage beers already. I trade him for It.
D
It's an option. You don't have to do it.
A
All right. I'll take the garage fridge with beers in it and deer meat in the freezer.
C
Okay.
A
And Fresca on the door of the garage fridge.
C
Okay.
A
Because I like. I like a good Fresca.
B
So that's a package deal.
C
Yeah.
A
It was a bundle.
B
Because I was going to take Pat. I was going to take Fresca in the fridge.
A
Well, you just can't take that.
B
I know. That's why I was gonna. I was gonna argue that that's more than one thing.
D
Well, you could pick one and then trade it to Miles. It's really good.
B
We could trade. Yeah.
A
I like.
B
Yeah.
A
Anyway, now, trades would be smart. Okay.
B
Do I got pick number two?
D
Yeah.
B
Golf simulator.
C
Nice. Oh, that was good.
A
That's a good one.
B
I had that locks and loaded.
C
You or me, Jared?
D
I can go.
C
Okay.
D
I'll do a shop vac back.
C
Nice.
A
Okay, that's good. Got that number four.
B
I could have got it in, like, late late, like, if we did seven. Right.
A
You know, like, I do love a good shot back, but this. I. I don't know. Maybe it's not maybe. I. I haven't thought about my second pick yet, so I don't know what kind of bottom of the barrel we're getting to already.
C
It's true.
B
No. We talking rolling shot vac or wall mounted?
D
I don't even think wall mounts.
B
Wall mounted. Shop vac.
D
I'm gonna do wheelie. Wheelie shop back.
B
Okay. You're not. You're not a huge mental space guy.
D
Yeah. In case I need it for inside.
B
Sure.
C
Fair enough.
B
Yeah, that's fair.
A
More versatile. Your buddy needs to borrow it. Much easier.
D
Yep, Exactly.
A
All right, Tyler.
C
I. I didn't. I wasn't sure about my pick, but after Miles bundled, I'd also like to bundle.
A
Okay. But, yeah, it's not getting too carried away. You can't say like, I want a truck and a lawnmower. That's not a good bun.
C
No, my bundle is a huge workbench filled with tools.
A
That's a fine bundle.
C
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
I mean, I think it goes. It's like. Yeah, it's like. And like caramel rolls or cinnamon rolls and chili.
C
Right.
B
Type of combo.
C
I'm talking hand tools and power tools. Like, I got a miter saw and a table saw.
A
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just stuff that goes. No, no, no, no.
C
It's built into.
A
No, you cannot choose. You cannot do that.
C
No, my miter saw is down below flush with the workbench.
A
You get some, like, drills and to put on your bench. You don't get a table. Wow.
C
You got beers and frescas and deer
A
meat, which all go inside of.
C
All those tools can go on my
A
workbench, but they don't.
B
Yeah, no table saw can go. You put a table. I can have it.
A
Yeah, I have it on the ladder.
B
That's crazy.
A
He's. He's going.
C
You can have it built into your workbench.
A
Honey, can you grab that on the other side? It just goes. Just shoots across the room.
C
That would actually be kind of safe. It goes over your head.
A
Yeah, that would be safer. You got. Dust is falling your eyes. He starts it in. The exhaust thing is right in front of his eyes. Ah, I forgot to put the little. Little tube sock on it.
C
My table saw is built into my. My workbench.
A
All right, I will allow that, but you won't get any other tools.
B
No, don't get the miter saw.
C
Yeah, I do. No, it's been to my workbench.
A
You don't get. You don't get. A skill saw. You don't get.
C
I'm fine with no skill.
A
I'll even let you have a hand saw too. With that, you can have a table saw built into the workbench.
C
And my miter saw is built in, so it's flush with the workbench. So I can do long cuts without it being all wobbly on the miter saw.
A
All right, all right. What's your. What's your next pick? It's a snake draft.
C
Yep. Yep. I'm going Big ass tv.
A
It's good. I was kind of gonna lean towards more of a vibes garage, and that really kills my body.
B
Yeah, I guess I do got the simulator, which I can watch TV on.
C
That's good. That'.
A
Oh, loophole. Yeah.
C
Y. Good, Good.
B
I'm okay with that loophole.
D
I'm gonna choose like, a. Like a. Like a Bose radio with like a 6 CD changer on it.
C
Okay. Old school, the black one
D
and speakers and.
A
And you have to have lost the remote, so you got a hand turn it up and down and change it.
D
Right?
C
Yeah. It's really annoying when you get to the. The bad four songs in the middle of the cd. You gotta just stand by it and click.
D
I'll burn CDs.
C
Good call.
A
I'm good at smarts, so no. And there's got to be no skips in those.
D
I'll just rip a YouTube concert and put it on a CD.
B
Yeah, because you don't have a TV out there. You can't have it. You can't have a TV and put YouTube on. I can, though. I got a golf simulator.
A
Number one pick. Really? You in this draft, by the way. My garage is just gonna be me in a lawn chair sitting next to the. The fridge and that's it. That's all it's going to be.
B
Yeah, but you got everything you need, though. You got everything you need in the fridge. I'm going to go. I'm going to go wall mounted. I'll go wall mounted. Shelving. Storage. Shelving.
C
Dude, my. I swear to you, my pick was be lots of storage.
B
I think I'm. I think I'll go with like 60ft of it.
C
A dig. That's great.
B
Pick 60.
C
That's such a conversation piece.
B
Oh, my God.
C
Nobody cares about your simulator when you've got 60ft of storage. Right?
B
Is that putting. Putting that up there? Oh, my God. Let me tell you this story real quick. Boom. Then we got a half hour taken care of.
C
I got so much stored right here.
A
What are in all of those? Totes?
B
Yeah, there we go. Well, that's funny you asked. Let me show you. Okay. Another half hour. We're an hour into this hangout session and we're playing golf in the meantime. So that we just took three hours.
D
We have no beverages though.
B
We're. I got another pick. How many rounds we did?
C
Four. Four.
B
Okay. I got another pick. Okay,
A
Storage is good. So.
C
All right. That was great.
A
Off. Off the board. What did you pick?
B
Golf simulator and storage shop vac and
D
a bow speaker system.
C
Bench with tools and big ass tv.
A
God, there's not a lot. Not a lot left other than like micro stuff. I just want to pick the right thing, you know? Yeah, because like you can't even like pick. You can't even like pick like a. A nice ladder because I don't have shelves to put anything on this. Pointless.
B
Exactly. You don't need a ladder.
A
You know, everything's on. I can't. I don't have a tool bench.
D
Can't listen to music.
A
All right, here we go. I'm gonna go. A fully stocked tool chest.
C
Nice rolling one. That's good. Yeah, that's good. Yeah.
A
So that we got that and then I. I think I gotta take it now because I don't know if it'll be there when it comes back around. I'm gonna go for like a old. The most comfortable, most beat up old beater recliner.
B
Okay.
A
Nice because, like, if I'm. If I'm gonna be the one with the beer fridge, I gotta have somewhere to sit and drink it.
B
Yeah.
C
Are we. Is that it? Are we doing four picks?
D
Yep.
A
Okay, so that was three.
B
That was three for him.
A
Okay, so you're gonna go there and then come back?
C
Yeah, so I'll be done. I'm just. For me. I'll be done after this next one. Because it'll go back to back.
D
Yep.
A
You got it.
B
I'm gonna go with a. I'm gonna go with a vending machine.
C
Do you have to pay for it?
A
Could have got that.
B
No, it's just an old school vending machine.
C
Okay.
A
Yeah, that is because I need. I need a loophole. That's a good loophole.
B
I needed to take her drinks. Jared, you made a good point. You got no drinks. I needed drinks. Yeah.
D
So it's like. Like a soda vending machine.
B
Yeah, sort of. But I'll put anything in there. I'll swap out the little button stickers myself. Or I'll just write with Sharpie, like a lot of these places do.
C
That's good. Yeah, that's fun too. You got a lot of conversation pieces, for sure.
B
Well, and I'll charge my buddies. I'll charge my buddies too. They'll be. I'll know. I'll know how to get free stuff, but my buddies will have to pay.
A
You have your jar quarters. Because when they inevitably need change.
D
Yeah, Yeah, I could say, like, press for a good time and then shoots out a beer.
B
Like a bottle of Ky or something.
A
That's what I'm saying. Just a dildo shoots out. Jesus, it must be stuck. Stick your face down there. Then you. It's a double hit, double button system. Yeah. Look in there. Is it stuck?
B
What were your intentions coming over here? I thought we were playing golf.
A
He's got an imprint on his face of a. Of nut sack and there a muscle. How much psi is coming out of it?
B
Oh, yeah, I'll suit that.
A
You have like a T shirt launcher with dildos in it inside their vending machine.
B
Yeah, it's a T shirt launcher on the. On the other side. It's like the. It's like the Home Alone clip when he, like, lifts up the little. Little door on the. And the BB gun sticking at him.
A
Yeah, yeah, it's exactly like that. Be a classic sheely pray.
B
Yeah, classic prank.
D
Just make a side. A waiver before they step in your garage.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Your garage so far is definitely most conversational.
B
Yeah.
C
Lots to Talk about.
D
Yeah, yeah, I'll go with. It's a little bit of a bundle. Basketball hoop with a basketball.
C
That's a great bundle.
B
Yeah, I was gonna.
A
So, basketball hoop in the garage. So is this like a wall mounted one? Is this like a little tyke soup?
D
Oh, wall mounted about. About 9ft, 8ft, maybe.
B
Like right above the garbage can, too.
C
Yeah. You leave it there for when you're drinking and then you pull the garbage can when you're fruit.
A
He hasn't drafted a garbage can, so he doesn't have one.
B
That's true.
C
Could have bundled it in this. I. I've been okay with it.
A
You imagine we all just only get four items in our whole. Yeah, that's a great pick.
D
Yeah, that's fine.
C
Me, I'm going a outdoor circle, patio, table and chairs, because I feel like that fits the vibe, right?
A
That's a good vibe.
C
Yep.
A
You're gonna lose a bay. You know you're gonna lose. You know, this is like you're committing to like, hey, we're gonna park outside with that.
C
Yep. You know, fine with me. Fine with me.
A
Making sure you know that.
B
Yeah.
A
And then it's like, kind of like if you're drafting a player who's like, hey, you had some academic issues in college, so you know that. That.
B
Yep.
D
He.
C
He's not smart.
A
Not smart. And he. There's a video of him smoking a bong out of a mask. In a mask. Doing a mask bong.
C
What it's called.
B
I don't know. I've never. No, I. My buddies never did that, so I don't know.
A
You know what I'm talking about. Yeah. What you do. Like a gas mask bong. Right. But the video came out right before
D
draft day, and it was like. Dad posted the video. It was really nice. Oh, Jesus.
B
I think I saw that.
A
Very strange. Yeah, you have to search that up on threads later.
B
Yeah, I think that's where I saw it.
C
My final pick, fourth pick. I am taking a Keger Raider.
A
Keep those lines clean, though.
C
Yep. I'll have a guy come way too often.
B
Hey, those are the cleanest. Those are the cleanest lines in the Midwest.
A
They were.
C
Can I bundle him?
A
I mean, it was like 30 bucks a week or something.
B
No, it's every two weeks. It was like 30 bucks every two weeks.
A
That's a great deal. Yeah.
B
60 bucks a month.
A
Still too much. Still too much.
D
I'll take heated floors.
C
Oh, nice, Jared.
B
Yeah.
C
That's a good pick.
A
That's a really good pick.
B
That's A really good pick. I never.
A
That's a really, really, really good pick.
B
My. I'll have turf on the call center there. So I'm good there.
A
Yeah,
B
I got a couple picks that I just know I can. I can get after the fact. Undrafted free agents. You took a. What? You take Jared. The Bose speaker system and did someone else take a music type deal?
C
No, I took a tv. That's the closest thing.
D
10 seconds.
B
I'm gonna go with your floor. I'm gonna. I'll go with the floor drain.
C
Nice.
A
Great conversation.
B
It is.
A
It is.
B
Yeah.
A
Especially because then you could just be like, ah, you know, I'm really glad I did the floor drain.
B
I know.
D
Yeah.
A
It just makes cleanup so much easier.
B
I'll never live somewhere without a floor drain again. Again.
A
I actually said that to my dad. So in my garage, I got three stalls. Not to brag.
B
So do I.
A
Not to brag. But we have one drainage. And I actually said to him, I was like, I really regret not putting a drain in that third stall. He was like, I know. I told you.
B
Did he actually.
A
I don't know.
C
Yeah.
D
Definitely agree either way.
A
My dad says. Because he's probably told me at some point and I've ignored it.
B
Now the issue is I don't have. I don't. I don't have. I don't have a hose in my garage. I mean, I do. I do. In real. I. But not in this situation.
C
No, you do. It's in one of your storage things.
A
Yeah, well, I think you could have all sorts of. In there.
B
Well, I think what I can do, too, is I can. I can just. I can put bottled water into the vending machine.
C
Pressurized already for the dildos.
A
Correct.
B
And if I need to, I can just get a bottle of water and then. And then rinse off the floor into the floor drain if I really needed to.
D
It's like 20 bottles of water.
A
Yeah, you're good.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. When in doubt, if you need to just take like the Pepsi cans out of there and rinse that.
B
Yeah, exactly.
A
Squeegee that. That.
B
Yeah. Then my floor starts eroding away from all the Pepsi.
A
I mean, but you're making do.
B
No, exactly. Yeah. I got a Golf simulator.
A
What?
B
There's nothing to. About when I have a golf.
D
When your floor rots away. It's a great conversation.
B
Yeah, exactly.
A
It's like, so what happened? So you. Not Pepsi. Pepsi killed my.
B
And then I put. If I post something like that on Threads Viral. Another great conversational piece. There's Another hour taken up. We just spent an entire afternoon hanging out with a lot of conversation starters.
A
Also, I need to know before we move on from your picks. You've got a pop machine. Vending machine.
B
Yep. Pot or pop machine? Pop.
A
What is the theme of it?
D
It.
A
You know, is it Pepsi? Is it Coke? What? You know, like the big picture on the front that lights up.
B
It's a Coke. It's the old. It's. It's Coke.
A
You missed it. You could have done Mountain Dew.
C
Yeah, it could have been a sick. I don't know.
A
I've been a sick venue.
C
You could have customed it too, or like.
D
Yeah, the Phantom Menace Pepsi machine.
C
Yeah.
A
Oh, God, yeah.
C
Hell yeah.
B
What's a Phantom Menace?
C
Star Wars.
A
It's got. It's canon.
B
Yeah, that one slipped right over.
A
That one slipped right over the cranium.
B
Yeah. No, the ones that. The ones we had.
A
You're going classic Coke.
B
Well, because there's gonna be a lot.
A
Don't. Don't tell me it's gonna be a Coke freestyle machine, because I hate those things.
B
No. God, no.
D
No.
B
If you want to style, you got to get one of each.
A
Is it.
B
And then set them on the table and then pick from there.
A
Is it the Coke machine that they over engineered with the like, belt that you
C
don't. God know.
B
This is old school. You can just hear it clang and banging inside. Just hoping that it comes out to the bottom.
C
You do not open it early.
A
This is.
C
You let it sit. This is.
A
This is asmr. You just bought some. You're buying something in a vending machine. Dollar. It's expensive coins. This is like, you know, probably 2000 wet quarter then.
D
Is that the pool?
B
Yeah, yeah. He left his coins in his pocket.
A
Then it's. Then it's. Then it's vending. It's like. Dink. It was. It was actually 95. Yeah. So you got a nickel back. Take your change.
B
That was good.
A
It's. It's like. It's like there's someone in there just. Just throwing the bottle against as much.
C
It sounds like.
B
I thought there was always. I thought there was a. Like a small.
A
Yeah, okay.
B
I wasn't gonna say that, but you
A
did sound like a.
D
What?
A
A what?
D
A little person inside of it
A
and he's just playing the drums.
C
He's rummaging around, trying to find the right pop.
B
Yeah.
C
Ah, there it is.
D
Throws it over.
B
And then like Tyler said, you got to wait at least 10 minutes to open that thing.
D
At least.
A
No, you just go like this on the lid.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Tap. Yeah.
C
Or you just crack it a little bit. Then you're the weird guy and just.
B
Yeah.
C
Bub out.
A
Yeah.
B
Just like halfway open it and then
C
clip that. Jared.
B
I don't give a. Clip it and put on Patreon. So they gotta go watch it there.
D
Put it on threads as they just saw it.
A
No, no, I want you to redact that from the episode. We're gonna give this episode the Epstein file treatment. We're gonna. We're gonna redact key moments of the episode and tell them they can go watch on Patreon.
B
I like.
C
Until you buy Epstein plus.
B
Yeah.
C
Unlock all redacted files.
A
No, no, no. It's not EP plus. It's Epstein files plus. It's a completely different.
C
It changed. It changes names like HBO left and right.
B
Yeah.
A
Love that Coke machine.
B
Yeah, it's great.
C
P. You still got a pick, I think one more.
A
So for the final pick in the draft, I'm going to select. And this is an unlimited supply of scrap wood.
C
Nice. That's a good one.
B
You got tools?
A
I got everything you need. I got tools. I got a beer fridge, I got a recliner, and I got an unlimited supply of scrap wood. I could now be busy until eternity.
B
Yeah.
A
Never have to leave.
C
Actually, that unlimited supply of scrap wood is a great loophole. You can just sell that. That's unlimited money.
A
That's true. And then I can buy. I can buy all the storage and Gul sims that I want.
B
And you could build with that too. I mean, you could build the patio set that. Tyler.
A
No, no. I was planning on building stuff with it first, not selling it.
D
I should have said.
B
Oh no, but I mean, typically scrap wood will just sit in the corner for six, seven years until you just need one piece of it.
D
I should have just said unlimited gold.
A
Yeah, I just want it. Yeah.
B
ATM that spits out on.
C
Yeah, I just want to punch my pain into it. Just unlimited money comes out.
B
I should have taken a blackjack table with a full time dealer.
C
That would have been way better than floor drain.
A
You fix floor drain over a full time blackjack.
B
But pros and cons of both, though. I mean, imagine if a Coke gets spilled on the floor. You just, you know, blackjack dealer ain't getting paid to clean that up.
C
That's true.
B
That's my job.
A
You can't leave the table unattended.
B
No, exactly. Yeah.
A
That would. That actually be terrible.
C
It'd be like your.
A
You're. You got. You got a. You got a blackjack dealer at the table. You're. You're. You're putting. Putting a tote away on the top shelf of your storage. The ladder slips out, you grab onto the shelf, you're dangling there. Dire straits. And. And you just have to figure it out by yourself because the blackjack dealer can't leave the table. Can't help.
B
No. As it wasn't part of the job description, so.
A
That would have been sick actually.
D
I know you just hang around your garage all day, you're not there.
B
Alcoholic neighbor down the road. I just get him on the ring camera like 87 times a day coming in and out.
A
Oh man. Oh well. Is that it, Jared?
D
Yeah, yeah, we'll just go through what we picked. I picked.
A
Oh, yeah, sorry.
D
I'll pick shop vac bow speaker, B ball hoop with basketball and heated floor. What'd you have, Tyler?
C
Oh, I had the workbench with the tools.
B
I had big ass eight foot table saw.
C
Sure.
A
Yeah. You have a table? Table saw.
C
I have a table.
A
You have a table.
C
Nothing drops when it gets to the blade. It's really nice.
B
Yeah.
C
And I have. I have a circle patio set of furniture and a kegerator.
A
It's pretty good setup.
C
Yeah.
A
No wood to saw though, so I'm
C
gonna have to buy it.
B
Doesn't have any wood for the table saw.
D
Yeah, it's to buy it from Miles.
C
Yeah, you can charge whatever you want. He has it all.
A
You want to buy more storage for me? You want some shelving? I got it. Yeah.
B
If you're tight on cat. If you only got a little bit of cash too. Not enough to buy wood. You come over the blackjack table.
C
Try my hand.
A
You don't have a blackjack table.
B
I know I don't.
C
He had. He had a blackjack table in his storage containers.
B
Yeah, Yeah. I just gotta put it together still. The blackjack dealer is.
A
He had a blackjack dealer and he's
B
in the pop machine.
A
Went with a floor drain. You know, you could have just sloped it so all the water ran out the garage. Right. I know, I know, I know.
B
Okay. I got golf simulator, old school Coke machine, floor drain and a. And storage shelves. Storage. Yep, storage.
A
I got a beer fridge with meat and Fresca in it.
B
Yum.
A
Tool chest with all the tools, recliner, unlimited supply of scrap wood.
B
That's all a guy really needs. And it really boils down to it.
D
So. Yeah. That everyone can comment. Sue.
A
Yeah. I'd love to know who you guys think picked the best one.
B
I think it's I have a feeling.
A
But like, yeah, I would say yours most conversational, Tyler. Yours is. Yours is fun.
C
It's the most functional, most normal.
A
Most normal, Jared.
D
That's pretty fun. Yeah, it's warm too.
A
Yeah.
B
Jared, what did you have again?
D
Shop vac, BO speaker, B ball, hoop and heated floor.
A
Jared or Jared's great winter hang garage.
B
Yeah. Yeah. You got a lot of space to move around, too. I got a. I got a 14 by 16 foot golf sim in mine
A
again, sacrifice the bay.
B
I know had to sacrifice the bay to get the sim.
D
That's all right. One fun fact. Jay Burwanger was the first ever NFL draft pick in 1936. He was a fullback from the University of Chicago and the inaugural Heisman Trophy winner. Burwanger was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, but immediately traded. Traded to the Chicago Bears. Yet he opted for a career in foam rubber manufacturing. He never played it down in the NFL.
A
So he got drafted and just said, I'm gonna make 500 bucks doing that, so I'm gonna go get a real job.
C
Yeah, basically like first. First overall ever.
A
Didn't even play.
D
Didn't play.
A
What year was that again?
D
1935. 36. 36.
A
I mean, you're getting drafted before the Second World War.
C
Yeah, I mean, he got drafted before. Getting drafted was cool.
A
Yeah, he probably.
C
Ten years before.
A
He probably got drafted twice.
D
Stop drafting me.
B
You said foam rubber.
D
Foam rubber manufacturing.
A
Maybe he works at the place that makes the cheese heads. Maybe he was at that first factory.
D
He was traded to the Chicago Bears. That's interesting.
C
Yeah, he really stuck it to him.
D
Yeah. I think I said something about those rubber bands or something.
A
I'm not sure.
B
Well, fuck. Yeah. I mean, it's a huge industry. Everybody could use rubber. No one took that in the draft.
C
What rubber bands?
B
Thought that have been a shoe in honorable mention.
A
If anyone was gonna pick rubber bands, it would make you. You picked cottage cheese or something. No coleslaw on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, yeah.
B
I. I picked it because now none of you can pick coleslaw.
C
We weren't going.
A
We don't need to rehash this. Yeah, hash browns would have been better.
B
Remember, potato salad's getting up there, too. So we do another Thanksgiving draft. Yeah, circle back to me.
A
All right, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet you Radio. Have a great week. We'll see you in the next one.
B
Oh, you betcha. Yeah.
A
Yeah.
D
Jack. Shotgun. Best and worst sodas. Obviously, fridge cigarettes are supreme.
A
You sound like you're gonna say more.
B
That's what I was waiting. Otherwise I would have went in.
A
Yeah, I mean, I'm going like. I really love Fresca.
B
Me too.
C
Does that count as soda? Yeah, I think it does, right? It's soda water.
B
It's.
A
It's pop.
B
Yeah, it's pop.
D
It's pop.
C
Fresca says soda water on the can.
A
It's like. It says sparkling soda water, but I think they're all soda waters.
C
Yeah, I think. I don't know if it's count. I'm just saying that's the only one that. That differentiates itself by saying that on the can.
B
I think it's a. I think it's just a market.
A
So. Yeah, like a, like A. Yeah, 100. Makes it sound fancier.
C
Yeah.
A
D.C. definitely number one. Number two Fresca for me. And then after that, in no particular order. Love a root beer. Mountain Dew, obviously. I mean, it's just. You just can't beat that.
B
A Ridge original. Yeah, I'll take diet over original these days.
C
No, dude.
A
Yeah, it's like. If I'm a jerking Mountain Dew though, I'm just gonna go for it. Sure. It's kind of like unplanned tummy ache. I'm just committing. Just gonna enjoy it while it's going down and then deal with it later after some schedule.
B
Yeah, it's like unplanned pregnancy too.
C
I'm a big Dr. Pepper guy.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Except no plan B for drinking a Mountain Dew. I don't tell you that much. Maybe two Tums.
B
Deal with it later.
A
Tums is the blue collar man's plan B after impregnating yourself with a chuck wagon at the gas station.
D
Some ice cream. Like a Snickers ice cream after eating a.
A
A Twix and Snickers combo ice cream bar from the gas station. Plan B is getting tast Tom's
B
after sucking down a couple breadstick gushers.
D
I like to imagine that the Tums are like in the. I don't know that packaging where you pop it out.
C
Yeah, Shitty. Like tin foil wrapping almost.
B
We try like, like really, like really perfect. The unwrapping so they all stay down in. Except the one you want.
C
My grandpa's a pro at the spiral wrap on the Tums.
A
Yeah, we just did that on the road trip, Jared, remember? I was like, I gotta get some Tums.
D
Give you the best advice.
A
Yeah, I mean, Woody, in your mind, what are some dog. I think Pepsi's ass.
C
Yeah. Diet and regular.
A
Suck my dick.
B
I can handle a diet. I just don't Prefer it?
A
Yeah, yeah. It's like, I'll drink it.
D
I love that.
C
But really, it's just like I've never, like, if their Pepsi is the only option, I'm never picking it.
A
It.
C
The only time I'm ever getting Pepsi is if I order a Diet Coke and they're like, we only have Pepsi and then I'm too lazy to choose something else.
B
I'm going die Mountain Dew then.
C
Yeah.
B
Yep.
C
I'm not big on any of like the fruit pops, like orange pop or grape.
A
Don't you want to. Want the Fanta? I've never seen that.
B
Yeah, it's an old school fan commercial.
A
Don't you wanna. Wanna Fanta?
B
Fanta?
A
What about. What about Mountain Dew? Code Red?
D
I love Code Red.
C
Code Red. That was a. That was really great. But it was out when I was like 10.
B
I was more of a live wire.
A
What about Live Wire? Those are good.
B
Yeah.
A
What about Purple Thunder? Purple thunder?
C
Those were fun.
A
They. They're good.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah, they were solid.
D
Very plum.
C
Yep.
B
Wow.
A
What a poll.
B
What's that RC Cola in the blue? Is it like a blue can?
D
That's not bad.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
So I love the taste of Dr. Pepper. Isn't that like their slogan? Anyways, I feel like I just word for word did a commercial there. I love the taste of Dr. Pepper, but it always gives me the shits. Sure.
C
Dr. Pepper.
A
I got like 18 minutes before I got the bubble guts. I need to. I need to paint constantly paint the ceramic.
D
There's seven of those 23 flavors.
A
This is one of those 23 flavors. Does not sit well with me.
C
Miles is just allergic to one of them again.
B
Porcelain Picasso.
D
It's like cinnamon or something.
C
Yeah.
B
I actually Diet Dr. Pepper is probably my third favorite diet podcast. Pop D.C. dM. DP.
C
Okay.
A
Yeah. I'm just at the stage of life where I'm just trying to hit all the Diet Pops.
B
Yeah.
A
Like we were talking about zero sugar root beer the other day. Pretty good.
D
Love it.
B
I'm out.
C
I think like the diets or zero sugar root beers are the worst compared to the originals.
D
Must be something with a taste, you
B
know, like I'm a big cream.
C
That's definitely it.
A
Also, once in a while, slapping a. A ginger ale, your throat's pretty good. Yeah, I'm not doing that a lot.
D
It's a great plain drink.
A
Like, like my grandparents used to have it at their house. They'd have Diesel Cokes and ginger ale and so that was always nice.
B
Yeah.
D
There's a soda called Big red. I absolutely hate it. Really?
A
Like, spicy.
D
Like, I don't remember it. I just remember hating it a lot. I think it's more in the South.
B
I think I've had that before.
D
Didn't like it.
B
I. I don't remember.
A
I'm not a grape soda guy.
C
Yeah. None of the. None of the fruit ones. I'm out on all those.
B
Yeah. Yeah. See, the thing is, though, I. I do like grape energy drink and, like, the grape Ollie pop or poppy or whichever one it is kind of fire.
C
Okay.
B
But great pop. Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
Shasta, on the other hand, I'll a.
A
Shasta isn't Shasta have a bunch of different flavors?
C
Yeah.
B
Oh, tons of different flavors.
C
It's just. It's like RC Co, where they have one flavor for every other one.
B
Yeah.
