Transcript

[Miles]

Guys, on today's episode, Ryan is back from paternity leave. I was a weekend warrior this weekend and Jared's got a new dangerous hobby. Ryan's back. Ryan's back. He made it back.

[Ryan]

Boys, boys, boys.

[Miles]

Tyler is gone. Tyler's in what, Canada? Bear hunting?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Saskatoon.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Spending loonies and tunies probably.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we won't hear from him.

[Ryan]

God, no. I did. I asked him the day before he left. I asked him if they had service there and he was ballsy of him to tell me that there was service at the cabin but not outside. Like, you know, you get out in the woods and whatever. So if we got to get a hold of him, I think we can.

[Jared]

Yeah, we'll just send a pigeon.

[Ryan]

And he can't, he can't come back and say, well, you know, I didn't have service. It's like, well, I got proof because you told me so.

[Miles]

Nice. Anyway, catch him red handed. Exactly. What he wants to feel when he gets back from his vacation is feeling like he's caught red handed.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And I mean he, he was like, he, he wasn't abiding by like the no contact paternity leave rule. He was contacting me and so I think he owes me one.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I also contacted you one time.

[Ryan]

That's different though. Oh yeah, yeah, that's different.

[Jared]

Special privilege.

[Miles]

So what'd you do on paternity leave? Did you paternally do stuff?

[Jared]

Ah.

[Ryan]

If. I'll say this right now, if paternity leaves anything like my retirement is going to be, I'm going to be. I understand why people who are retired are just busier than those who work. I was, I mean I was busy the whole time. It was all self inflicted. But I mean you saw it, you talked about it, got the garage all dialed in, organized tool bench, got that whole thing organized and like now I now have a tool bench that just doesn't even serve its purpose, its new purpose just to set shit on. So I got that extra table to just set whatever I need on.

[Jared]

That took two hours.

[Ryan]

That took about two hours.

[Miles]

Did you get that 13 by 13 burn pile burnt?

[Ryan]

No, I was going to and then if just the air felt a little bit too dry and so I voted against it. And I did.

[Miles]

Did my you me telling you that that's very close to the woods sway your feeling about your burn pile in any way?

[Ryan]

No, because I've already. Remember, I've already, I've already burnt one. I've already burnt one pile there.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And then Also, Tyler's just saying, like, he doesn't own any of the trees. Like, dude, I do. You know how many trees I had to trim? And also, I own a corner of the. I own a corner of the trees. Like, there's down trees in that. I'm cutting up, so.

[Miles]

And then I did listen to the podcast.

[Ryan]

I did. Yeah. And then Tyler, when he had mentioned that, like, yeah, get it out, get it out. Here we go. He's like, yeah, Ryan brought me to his house one time, but we just got went into the driveway. It's like, dude, I didn't bring you in because it was 2pm and we had work to do. Like, we were out shooting videos. We had to get back to work. I had to do. I know you didn't because you never do. I'm kidding. But I. I had work to do. So the reason that it took three months to get you guys over. Number one, my parents lived with me for a while.

[Miles]

Yeah. Number two, but your parents are a delight. So.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, no, I understand. It's more. So like let's. Let's get them kicked out first. And then, and then, and then, you know, nine month pregnant wife, you just, you know, she was nesting. Yeah, the weeds, you know, weeds started growing, like, well, let's try and get these weeds sprayed before we have people over. Yeah, like that. Yeah. I haven't blown the driveway off yet with my leaf blower, so it's like, let's get the driveway blown off before I get miles over here. So. Yeah, no, can you tell the people.

[Miles]

About your storage room? Because you were very excited about it. It looks great. But tell people about your big storage room you got.

[Ryan]

I mean. Okay, so that storage room, I talked to you about this before. When we started building that house, it was originally supposed to be a. I don't know, what'd you call a bomb shelter? Yeah, safer.

[Miles]

Like a panic room. Yeah, safe room or whatever.

[Ryan]

That got beat up pretty quick. That was like. That was the first thing to go. And I mean, so now it's just a regular storage room and totes on top of totes on top of totes, where I'm currently working on the fourth layer of totes.

[Miles]

Wow.

[Jared]

It's like a lasagna.

[Miles]

Are you labeling the totes, or do you have to look through each one to find what you're looking for?

[Ryan]

For, I'd say probably 25 are labeled. But here's. You know, here's the thing. Not a great system. I. I know what totes are placed where in There. So I know what's in them already.

[Miles]

It takes your wife one time to start moving around and you're not going to know where anything is.

[Ryan]

And that's already started.

[Jared]

Nothing pisses me off more than when my wife moves something where I knew exactly where I was at.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's like, yes, it was laying on the counter where it shouldn't be, but it was there because I was gonna get to it in a few days.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And now it's gone.

[Jared]

Right.

[Miles]

Where did you put it? And then they don't remember where they put it. So then you have to tear the whole house apart to find a screwdriver.

[Ryan]

Or like, like Tupperware or like kitchen gadgets, whatever. It's like, you know, I'm going about my day trying to, you know, I'm put the dishes away. I'm gonna help out a little bit. Right. You know, it's like, well, this onion cutter two weeks ago went in this drawer. But now I have to ask because it. I don't think it goes in that drawer anymore. And I look like an idiot because I now look like I never unload the dishwasher.

[Jared]

Right. And then she's pissed, cuz.

[Ryan]

But it got moved. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Miles]

I will also do it on myself though. So I don't know if you guys experience this, but sometimes I'll take extra screws or things of something that I built that I didn't need, but I may need them in the future. So I put them in a baggie. But I don't label it.

[Jared]

Yes.

[Miles]

So it's in a baggie and I put it in the junk drawer. And then a year later I'm looking to the junk drawer. I'm like, what the hell were these for again?

[Jared]

Right. Then you throw them out. Then you find that purpose for the screws and you can't find this.

[Ryan]

Exactly.

[Miles]

It's a. It's just a never ending cycle for men.

[Jared]

It's terrible.

[Miles]

What I should do is just dump all screws into a big bucket and then just whenever I need one, just know that whatever I need is in there somewhere. I just. It's like playing Legos. You got to like dig through the pile to find the one you need. That's what I need to do.

[Ryan]

And yeah, the bigger the container to, the harder it is for someone else, that is your wife, to hide it or to get rid of it.

[Jared]

Throw it away.

[Ryan]

Yeah, a little baggy. Easy to toss in the garbage. 27 gallon tote from the hardware store probably ain't going to get moved, you know, hopefully. Hopefully not. So, yeah, I mean, the storage room is. I haven't. I haven't really even touched the storage room yet compared to the other. Compared to the garage storage. But fuck, that sucker's gonna be dialed in here pretty soon.

[Jared]

A couple years.

[Ryan]

A couple years. And honestly, like, out of sight, out of mind. I think that's the best part about it.

[Miles]

So do you want to tell your. Tell your Woodchuck story or you're not talking about that on the podcast?

[Ryan]

I think I'll just give him the quick shortened narration of it. You know, I'm out in the country now. I'm a wildlife guy. I'm kind of a homesteader.

[Jared]

Country boy.

[Ryan]

I'm a country boy. Took a shot at Woodchuck. 30 yards of the bow. Didn't have the broad. I didn't have a broadhead on, though. I just had a field tip and miss him by about half an inch. And then some other shenanigans went down and I thought he was dead, but he wasn't. And then my dad came over later and he's like, yeah, I saw. Which I, I saw Woodchuck over in the. The yard next door or whatever. And I go, that's probably the woodchuck that, you know, I got earlier joking around like, let me show you this one. Went to the spot. Gone. Oh, so.

[Miles]

So Ryan tried to put it out of its misery and give it a good death and yeah, it was. He stayed in misery.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. Destructive creatures, though. So, yeah, I felt a little bit bad, but not anymore.

[Miles]

Little tiny Jack situation on your hands.

[Ryan]

Big time. Big time. Yeah, pretty like, you know, it's like I'll have to bait him underneath of that, that big burn pile I got, and then that's when she'll go up in flames.

[Jared]

You have to drown your whole yard just to get him.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Miles]

You just.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Miles]

You're just torturing this Woodchuck. First. First you thought you killed him and he didn't. So he's clearly in pain out there in the world and then you're going to bait him into and burn him alive.

[Ryan]

I mean, it's just a. It's a re. It's modern day Caddyshack is what it is. And I mean, he, he's probably going to get his and I'm going to get mine. So he's, you know, he's probably going to. He'll chew a hole through my propane line from my propane tank and then he'll get his. But I'll tell you what, if no one's home and you're on top of that propane tank, you're going up 500ft in the air. How's that propane taste? Little.

[Jared]

Then eat them.

[Ryan]

But yeah, paternity leave was. It was solid, I feel.

[Miles]

So here's the question. Did you see your kid at all?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

It sounds like you were just hanging out outside.

[Ryan]

Well, the best, I think the best part about your, the second paternity leave with, with your second child is that first one still goes to daycare. And then when you have visitors, visitors over, that's, you know, the supper bell starts to ring and that's when it's time to go inside.

[Tyler]

So.

[Ryan]

So got a lot of quality. I got a lot of quality group time with my child. And then, you know, got some, got, got some one on one later in the later.

[Miles]

That's any skin to skin.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, the best part, I just, you know, I was walking the halls of the hospital. No shirt.

[Jared]

Hell yeah.

[Ryan]

And if, you know, if people were.

[Miles]

All the nurses are just uncomfortable.

[Ryan]

They're like, hey, the fucking gyms on floor to not floor 10. If they would ask questions.

[Miles]

They're just like, look at this guy hit this hard.

[Ryan]

Oh yeah, there's an excuse. Skin to skin.

[Jared]

That's all I gotta say. Skin to skin.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It's like, sir, you've been checked into the hospital for four days now. Skin to skin, they recommend five days before you put your shirt back on. So the only thing in my overnight bag was pants. I had no shirt packed.

[Miles]

They're like trying to give you a gown as well. They're like, just put this on, please.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but I had the gown in reverse, so the open part was on my chest. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I was just, I was just wearing an unbuttoned.

[Jared]

Things are hard to put on.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So, yeah, I mean every, Everything was. Everything. It was smooth sailing. I got no, I got no crazy stories about the hospital. We were, boom, in and out. 30 hours beat our previous record 31 hours and. And we were back home.

[Jared]

Nice.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It's great news.

[Miles]

That's wild.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It's also like for first time parents, they just send you off on your way and it's like, all right, well, it's time to just figure this out on our own.

[Jared]

Yeah. They don't give you a manual or anything?

[Ryan]

There's no manual. Nope. There is. You just don't read them, right? I mean, we buy a new tool or something. We ain't reading that you know, hey.

[Jared]

Yeah, trial by fire kid ain't any different.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So, like, if I. I don't know, you didn't get a true paternity leave, but I feel like two weeks was. Two weeks is solid. It's a solid amount of time.

[Miles]

Jared's like, really, Ryan? Yeah. It wasn't enough?

[Jared]

Yeah. Say like, three months.

[Ryan]

Well, I mean, I feel like if I'd have been on paternity for, like, another week, I'd have started taking creatine. Give me one more week. Like, also, my paternity leave butted up with Memorial Day. You give me a couple more days, I'd have been on creatine.

[Jared]

I know what that means.

[Ryan]

The amount of creatine ads. I was seeing them in my feed and then like, on. On, like, the know, I got the basic version of hbo.

[Miles]

So, like, four weeks, he'd have been doing hard drugs.

[Ryan]

Four. Four weeks? Yeah, Three weeks creatine. Four weeks peptides. And then five weeks would have been.

[Miles]

I, I. Five weeks he got out for milk and never came back. So of all the things you could.

[Ryan]

Have said, Creatine, dude, I, like, I started. After the first couple days, I started to get intrigued. I'm like, like, you know.

[Miles]

Have you ever been on creatine?

[Ryan]

Long time ago.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Long time.

[Miles]

When I was. Yeah.

[Ryan]

But now it. That.

[Miles]

It's.

[Ryan]

It's a new thing.

[Miles]

It's. But it's. It's. It's not like this crazy thing, dude.

[Ryan]

The amount, like, creatine is the new. That's the new trend in the fitness world.

[Miles]

Like, it was a trend 10 years ago, 15 years ago.

[Ryan]

Yeah. But then it kind of took, like, a little. It took a hiatus for about eight years, and then now I'm like, okay, okay. Yeah.

[Miles]

I remember it was, like, taboo in college to be taking creatine. Like, like, they acted like it was like this banned, illegal substance.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And it's like, crazy. I mean, you knew who was taking creatine based off of who was carrying around a gallon jug of water. Yeah, it was pretty dehydrated. But now they have creatine gummies and.

[Jared]

Creatine.

[Ryan]

By the end of it, I'm like, I'm kind of interested. But I. I mean, take your pick. Here's a thousand different brands of creatine. Which one do you want? Well, I don't know. Let's just do a. Let's just do a randomizer.

[Jared]

So is it, like, illegal or is it like.

[Ryan]

No, no.

[Jared]

What's the downside of it?

[Miles]

The downside is we just get dehydrated.

[Jared]

Oh, okay.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So you just gotta drink more water.

[Jared]

Gotcha.

[Miles]

I mean, because it, it helps your body retain water more. Correct?

[Ryan]

Correct, Yep.

[Miles]

And it also, it. It helps delay by a very small amount how long until your muscles get fatigued. Is that correct?

[Ryan]

I believe so.

[Miles]

So like, let's say you're doing an exercise and then 15 seconds, your muscles hit a certain point of fatigue, creatine. From what I understand, this could be totally wrong. So from what I understand it, you will then delay that fatigue by tell, like 20 seconds. So you might be able to get a few extra reps in, which then builds more muscle and all that. Okay, yeah, from what I understand, sure.

[Ryan]

Well, that's funny because I'm like, you know, I'm getting. I'm getting fed an ad every five swipes. I also haven't touched a weight in a month. So it's like, well, let's get on creatine while we're not.

[Miles]

We'll get on creatine first. So you're ready to go.

[Ryan]

That's true. Yeah, that's true. That's. Yeah, that's the intro to getting back into lifting.

[Miles]

It has something to do with your ATP production.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, we just start throwing acronyms out there.

[Miles]

ATP is a very long word that has something to do with how your muscles get energy. I don't remember.

[Ryan]

Yeah, if you can't.

[Miles]

So long.

[Ryan]

If you don't know what ATP is the acronym for, then you just. We don't. You just don't know what it is. Yeah, but. Yeah, I mean, I was. I was popping in and out came, mowed the lawn one day. I was fucking. Kind of missed you guys a little bit. So now you were around quite a bit. Yeah, I mean, I had to. I had to listen in on at least one episode to see what. What was being said. All good things, though.

[Miles]

So Tal was the only one talking or what?

[Ryan]

Well, he was piggybacking off of. He was piggybacking off of you saying that you hadn't been over in three months. And then. It's just a. It's a. Tyler, we had work to do. It's 2pm in the afternoon. You want me to give you the full tour? We already talked. Like, you want me to tell you why I painted and didn't. And I didn't texture this wall?

[Jared]

I don't have time for that.

[Ryan]

I don't have time for that. Yeah, I can video call you later when I'm at home.

[Miles]

That Was pretty funny. And you're telling me all about the texture on the wall, and I'm like, I wouldn't have noticed. Good.

[Ryan]

I mean, we did a good job. Good job. That's the thing about many people.

[Miles]

Have you told that to all of them?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I feel like when you get a new house or something like that, you. You have like a. Run a checklist in your head of all the things you say in each room.

[Ryan]

For sure. Yeah.

[Miles]

You know, you're like, there's always one thing you got to tell them about in each room.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Like, the master bathroom is like, you know, God, it's nice. Nice to have a, Like a separate bathroom room that, you know when you.

[Miles]

The toilet room.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It ain't going to stink. Yeah.

[Miles]

The.

[Ryan]

The. The one wall in the garage that's painted. It's mudded and painted, but not textured.

[Jared]

It's like you have a whole script of what you say.

[Ryan]

Yeah, well, and why, you know, why would I texture it when it was a gym wall? It's just going to get beat up anyways. You know, what if I want to punch a hole through the drywall and there goes the texture?

[Miles]

Yeah. I textured it for nothing.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And when I go back to patch it, I don't have to texture it because nothing else is textured. It's the whole thing.

[Jared]

This is the walleye punch.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

He'S like in the basement. He gets pissed, runs upstairs in the garage.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I haven't hung my. Yeah, I haven't hung my heavy bag, so I just ended up hitting the wall.

[Miles]

All right, guys, prize picks, time of the week. And right now, if you sign up with code YVR, you get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup. You don't need to win your lineup to receive the $50 bonus. It's just guaranteed. And Jared, sounds like we got a slip pick.

[Jared]

Yeah, a patron. His name is CBA. He put a $5 thing in and he. It paid out 150 bucks for the Colorado Philadelphia MLB game.

[Miles]

So let's go.

[Ryan]

Let's go.

[Miles]

So it was a six legger. What? So what's the X on that? 100.

[Ryan]

150 divided by 30X.

[Miles]

30X. That's bad math by me. Yeah. 500 bucks.

[Jared]

Yeah. It's a good payday for CBA. Great.

[Miles]

CBA could. Could be anything, could be anyone, could.

[Ryan]

Be anytime, could be any sport.

[Miles]

Bet.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So there we go. Cba. Hopefully use code YBR when he signed up. I'm feeling a little CBA this week. I feel like we're gonna. We're gonna hit.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we have to.

[Miles]

We're.

[Ryan]

We're.

Okay, so I got Nas Reed, more nine and a half points this week. Jared's got Mike Conley, more than six and a half correct points. Ryan's got Alex Caruso. He toggled up to a red devil for nine and a half points more than. And I don't know. How do you say this guy's name?

[Ryan]

Shay Gildrus Alexander.

[Miles]

Shay Gilgis Alexander. Tyler picked. He needs to get one dunk.

[Jared]

One dunk.

[Ryan]

More than 0.5.

[Miles]

More than 0.5 dunks.

[Jared]

You can.

[Ryan]

I think. I think fingers just have to touch the rim.

[Jared]

Yeah. I don't know technically what it is.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think warm ups, too, but.

[Miles]

Just classic Tyler picking the thing that's.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's like he hasn't had a.

[Miles]

Dunk since five games ago, but he did have two.

[Jared]

I don't know what Tyler's thinking really.

[Miles]

Dude. So if you want to roll with us, that's what we got going on. And, yeah, keep sending slip pics. We like to hear about it, but.

[Ryan]

Send them before they hit so we can also hit with you.

[Jared]

That would be nice.

[Miles]

Yeah, slip picks would be nice. The last question I have for you is, what are you going to do about your shower? You had. You had revealed to me you made a shower. It's got. It's a half glass shower.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

Sheetrock the bottom. But there's no door on it.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Miles]

You said it gets drafty in the shower.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it gets a little bit chilly.

[Miles]

Are you gonna just roll with it and just be used to it, or are you gonna do something about that?

[Ryan]

Well, I think in the short term, we're just gonna have to roll with it and get used to it, and I kind of have. Now, if this was just my house and I didn't live with anybody else, I would just put a shower curtain.

[Miles]

That's what I was thinking. It's like you make this, like, glass thing so you don't have to have a shower curtain and then you just hang up a shower.

[Ryan]

That's exactly what I would do. I would try and match it to, like, the, you know, some of the undertones coming out of the. Whatever. But it. I mean.

[Miles]

Or I just get a undertone. Your wife been talking a lot of undertones?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I've learned about undertones. I've learned about undertones, especially with Rock. And how all that, you know, you can pull this piece of furniture, pulls this out, and that one punches it in.

[Jared]

But I don't know. My brother, when he moved into his place, I don't know if it's a apartment or his house, but he didn't buy a shower curd yet. And he tried taking a shower without a shower curve. He's. He got back to me. He's like, it was not a good idea.

[Miles]

I imagine he, like, took the shower head and, like, pointed it at the one wall and, like, kind of had to, like, go like this.

[Jared]

I think you try all options at that point. Yeah.

[Miles]

But he just ends up taking a bath, I think.

[Ryan]

So There are people out there wondering if, like, if they can actually go and do that without. Without repercussion, without having to mop the.

[Jared]

Floor up, you know, he said it was terrible. It was a terrible idea.

[Ryan]

You know, he just had the bar. He got the shower curtain bar before he received the actual curtain. So he just had the bar up.

[Jared]

He had to take a shower real bad.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You're just like, hanging, like, super long towels over top of it.

[Miles]

It's actually not a bad idea.

[Jared]

Yeah, terrible.

[Miles]

Towels are soaked. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I will say one thing, too. It's nice. It's nice having visitors come over.

[Miles]

Number one.

[Ryan]

It just kind of breaks the day up a little bit. And you can just get the BS with people and, you know, a lot. A lot of people, Miles included, they bring supper over or they bring, you know, stuff for leftovers or whatever. But I will say leftover containers. It's like, getting leftovers is great, but is it great enough to then have to go to the work of returning the leftover container?

[Jared]

Good question.

[Ryan]

Because we now have a stack of leftover containers where it's like, you know, we may not see this person for a few months, and so do we toss it and then toss it?

[Miles]

Not gonna remember to get it back to them.

[Ryan]

Exactly. The one time they come over in. In three months, we'll forget to give it back to them. So it's like. It's almost. It's more work to. To bring back a leftover container than it is to make the actual food.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's like. It's very similar to same church, different pew, with, like, borrowing tools, for sure. Leftover containers. Yeah. I think it's just yours until they bring it up.

[Ryan]

I agree. But then it's like, you know what? If it were up to me, I just. I would just toss them because the left. The container drawer is the way it is because of the containers we have and now we add new ones in. It kind of throws it all off.

[Jared]

Maybe just leave it at your front doorstep and put their name on it.

[Ryan]

That's.

[Jared]

Pick it up whenever you want.

[Ryan]

Yeah, just. Yeah, just. We could just.

[Miles]

Yeah, like restaurants do with doordash. They have like a little like stand they put the orders on. The doordasher can just come and grab a Tupperware stand outside.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's not a bad idea.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Because if you really want it back and just put like a timetable, like, well, if you don't claim it in three months, it's mine. Don't say that, but. Yeah, have that mentality.

[Miles]

Don't say it, but say it.

[Ryan]

Or you know how some people have the. Like those little bookcases out in their front yard with people can come by and like sit on the bench and read a book that they have, the free little library. Yeah, just have one of those cases.

[Miles]

With free little Tupperware.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Yep, that'd be a good idea.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, you just send them a text and just say, hey, I need you to come pick this up in three weeks or else. And then they can let their imagination run wild on what the or else is.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jared]

Yep. Don't text them back.

[Miles]

Just send one text, one text.

[Ryan]

Block their number.

[Miles]

You have three weeks.

[Ryan]

Or just drop them a pin. You have three weeks.

[Jared]

Little free Tupperwares.

[Miles]

No, it'd be funny. You like set up like a hostage looking room. Like just set, just set the Tupperware up in a chair with a gun.

[Jared]

Pointed at it, one light down, one.

[Miles]

Light on them and just say you have three days.

[Ryan]

Just put a burlap sack over and they're like, yeah, what's in the bag?

[Miles]

You have three days. You're holding it hostage. I bet they'd show up.

[Jared]

Also, the tear dot out dish was delicious.

[Miles]

And then if they don't come pick it up in three days, you can just bring it out back and just blast it with your nine millimeter.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, or just like just, just fill the container with gasoline, throw it on my pile.

[Miles]

That's what we need to start doing. If, if you have stuff that people leave at your house and you don't want it anymore, just start whole like sending hostage messages. And then if they don't comply, just shoot it.

[Ryan]

It's actually not a bad idea. And it also, you know, it, it sprinkles a little entertainment in there too.

[Jared]

At the same time, send a magazine, clippings of like, in the mail.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Cut magazine clippings out like they do in every movie.

[Jared]

Or like a ransom.

[Ryan]

You gotta put a newspaper by it, though, too, with the date on it.

[Jared]

Yeah, There you go. You gotta get the paper now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

Like you said, a screenshot with it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Screenshot the time stamp. Yeah.

[Miles]

Your buddy leaves a sweatshirt at your house. Show like a. Like, have a photo of it with the bird lap sack over it, like a flag behind it. I don't know. And then just be holding, like, a torch. And then if he doesn't come pick it up in three days, you just burn it.

[Ryan]

And then. Yeah, day two. Like. Yeah, day two. If they're not there yet, then you just, like, slowly get the torch closer to, like, put a little bit of a burn mark in it. Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

That would torture FaceTime them and then just start lighting on fire. You're going to come get it. You can come get it. Yes. Then you fucking put it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Star six, seven, a FaceTime. You don't know who I am?

[Jared]

Have a Halloween mask on.

[Miles]

All good ideas just spend way more time trying to get them to come pick it up than if you just went and dropped it off at their house.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. You just drop this in the mail. Yeah. Every Tupperware container should come with, like, a. Like a poly mailer and a return. Like a return.

[Jared]

Yeah, that'd be good.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, let's skip the. Let's skip the noodle. Like the. The noodle salad. Save the four bucks you'd pay for that and just give me a return label. I can say your Tupperware back.

[Jared]

I'm not gonna eat it anyway.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

If I bring dinner over your house again, I'm just gonna bring it in plastic bags.

[Ryan]

You could do that.

[Miles]

I'm not talking to Ziplocs. I'm talking grocery plastic.

[Ryan]

Talking grocery plastic with.

[Miles]

No, your lasagna is just going to be a. Just mush puddle.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Then you don't have to return it.

[Ryan]

I mean. Yeah, it's a taco in a bag. It's like, we haven't expanded past the taco in a bag. So.

[Miles]

Lasagna.

[Ryan]

Lasagna in a bag.

[Jared]

We should trick Ryan into thinking that you want the Ziploc back.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Not the grocery bag. Yeah. Hey, we bring these back to the store when we go groceries, bring them back. Bring that bag back. If you could wash it out, too, that'd be great.

[Jared]

Wash the bag out.

[Ryan]

Yeah. If you get any sort of liquid in a grocery bag and you try and dump it out. You just never dump all of it out.

[Jared]

No, it stayed in there.

[Ryan]

There. No, because it always gets in the cracks and crevices. And I had one in my window.

[Miles]

Well.

[Ryan]

And I was like, I. I literally turned it in every which direction, and there's water still coming out. And then I grabbed it, and my whole hand is soaked, and I'm like, what the.

[Jared]

God hate these things.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they're the worst. So. No, it was good.

[Jared]

That was good.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was good. Good to be back.

[Miles]

Should we take a break?

[Ryan]

Let's take one.

[Miles]

All right, guys. I actually. I got a DM over the last week that I had to screenshot because I thought it was pretty fun, but also phenomenal idea.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

So this is from Cole Matthews. Cole Matthews, DME said, just got the biggest Midwest honor. My dive bar had me sign the jersey I always wore to the bar and put it on one of the decorations and was put in the bar hall of Fame. Hall of Fame. Was put in the bar hall of Fame. Biggest honor of my life so far. We need to start retiring bar jerseys, you know, like. Or at least honoring all of the people who've spent tens of thousands of dollars after they die. You know, like, the old guy, it's sitting at the end of the bar. Maybe he wears, like, a. The same bomber jacket.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

The bar should request when he. Once he passes away, to be able to hang it in the rafters.

[Jared]

I like that idea.

[Miles]

Like, Midwest bars need to start retiring jerseys of people who drink there a lot.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Because, I mean, also when you get new people that come into the bar like that. That jersey, the signed jersey, that can hold a hundred different stories depending on who's telling it.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

You know, like, hey, you know, this guy is. He was battling cancer for a long time. He beat it. And he got drafted into the NFL first round back in 1982 and is gracious enough to, you know. Yeah, right.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I mean, it's the same thing, like, where we go pheasant hunting in their hun shack. If guy who goes hunting with him a lot passes away, they hang their hunting vest in the rafters.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

And they shine a light on. It's actually pretty cool.

[Jared]

They literally shine a light on it.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Oh, okay.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

That was a figure. Okay.

[Miles]

No, like, they actually have, like, a light on it. Got you.

[Ryan]

It's got. It's actually pretty cool.

[Miles]

It's actually pretty sick.

[Ryan]

Nice, because, like, hanging. You know, hanging professional jerseys, that's. That's also cool. But, you know, those people are never going to grace your bar, so why not put your most loyal patrons in there?

[Miles]

Or. Or it's even like. Like, maybe not their jacket you hang in the rafters, but like, you. You. You take off their bar stool top and you hang that in the rafters with a little plaque with their name on it. So you basically retire their bar stool.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Could be actually pretty cool.

[Ryan]

That's kind of sweet, actually. And I mean it like, it. You could say it's personalized. It has the indents from their ass cheeks in it.

[Jared]

Right.

[Ryan]

So, I mean, fingerprint. Correct. And if anyone else sits there, it's just not going to be comfortable because they have different ass cheeks.

[Jared]

Yeah, exactly. You know, I remember there's a story that James Harden got his jersey retired at a strip club in Atlanta. They hang his jersey from the rafters because he spent so much money there.

[Ryan]

Holy.

[Jared]

So that's very similar.

[Miles]

Yeah, that's something to be proud of. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Well, like, I.

[Miles]

He's not going to get his jersey retired with any NBA team. But. But they retired at the strip club.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Imagine the. I'm. I'm assuming the strippers were pissed about that. Especially like, you know, the ones with tenure. Because think you've been d. You dance there for 10 years, you put your time in, and they don't even retire your panties.

[Jared]

Blood, sweat, intense.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Your panties or your clickety clacks.

[Jared]

Do you have a problem?

[Ryan]

I mean, I think the clickety clacks is about the only thing I retire because, you know, sometimes that's all it is. The only thing they, you know, that's the only game worn.

[Jared]

Yeah. The shoe fits.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all game worn, too. We'll get it so we can get certified and everything. Big old plaque above the stage.

[Miles]

And that's a good point. What other things should be retired?

[Ryan]

You know, the sniffers roll. Like, if there's a guy who's got.

[Miles]

A spot like that. Not. Okay, Strip club. Jesus.

[Ryan]

Yep. We're done with that.

[Miles]

Oh, my God. Right? Oh, classic. I saw a dad on TikTok to completely shift gears. I saw a dad on TikTok did like, I don't know what his favorite NH kid's favorite NHL team was, but for his birthday, he had. He hung from their, like, balcony in their house, like, the upstairs balcony, different jerseys with his name on the back. That was like year one, two, three. So basically it's like birthday party. If he was eight. There were seven jerseys hanging up.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

For every birthday. It's kind of Funny idea.

[Ryan]

That's a good idea actually. Kids love that. I mean kids love jerseys to begin with.

[Jared]

Who doesn't?

[Ryan]

I mean any. Like I, I just, I'm thinking about people who spend a lot of money in certain spots. People go to the casino, regulars at the casino. Like if someone passes away, like their player card gets retired. It's almost like a business's first dollar bill. It's like, you know, James's 38 year old casino card that doesn't have any money left on it. You know, I went to the funeral.

[Jared]

All the inheritances on that card.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. You hang it by his favorite slot machine.

[Jared]

Yeah. There you go.

[Ryan]

Right next to his ashtray.

[Jared]

Maybe like a fishing house. Like hang up a lure at the fishing house. Could be a good one.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

Yeah. Or like even just like in the blue collar trades. Once a guy, if a guy makes it to retirement at a company, his uniform should get hung in the rafters.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Tool belt, hammer, hard hat, pretty much a high vis vest or whatever he's.

[Miles]

Wearing should be hung in the rafters.

[Ryan]

That's a good idea because I feel.

[Miles]

Like it's not a lot of guys make it to retirement at one company. So if you're loyal, you know, you get your gear in the rafters.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Would flops and Dave had it have any retirement memorabilia or deal?

[Miles]

I think Dave would flops. Would not flops left on bad terms.

[Ryan]

Sure. Yeah. You gotta leave out good terms. You got to give at least a two day notice, right?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You know that's a lot. That's a lot. Yeah.

[Miles]

Put in your two days.

[Jared]

That's a tall task.

[Miles]

Dave, Dave. The shirt that would be in the rafters for Dave would. Would be his got beaver shir.

[Jared]

Get a laugh every time too.

[Ryan]

Pink's all out. That wouldn't be.

[Miles]

It'd be tough not to throw the close. I want you for pinks all out.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but I mean everyone gets they get one piece of mem right.

[Jared]

You know, it's like I think Michael Jordan's got multiple jerseys up in the United center.

[Miles]

So why not?

[Jared]

Why not flop your date?

[Ryan]

That's true.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

That's true.

[Ryan]

That's true.

[Miles]

I mean Shadir Sanders and Travis Hunter out there retired. Why not?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

You can retire anything.

[Miles]

Why can't we retire my jersey?

[Ryan]

M and H. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. Do you ever wear it, wear it on the job site? You ever wear your jersey to work?

[Miles]

We, we did have a jersey Friday one time.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[Miles]

Wore old basketball jersey that I Had from, like, AU days.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. I still have all my old basketball jerseys from when I was younger.

[Jared]

Bring them in.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Kevin, we gotta start retiring in here. I mean, look at the. The amount of wall space. Like, I. I'm. I've been getting good at just looking at walls and seeing what could be put up there.

[Miles]

But the problem is you're retiring it. Meaning that you're not doing anymore. So you announcing your reaction?

[Ryan]

No, no, it's more so that I don't wear it anymore because it's too small. You know, it was like a. It was like a 6th grade jersey type deal.

[Jared]

Sort of retired.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Well, if any of us retire, we gotta hang the. The mics in the rafters.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, this chair for sure has to go somewhere. Yeah. Like what's. Yeah. Does this chair get retired before my back breaks?

[Miles]

I don't know.

[Jared]

But you're not complaining about it.

[Ryan]

No, no.

[Jared]

I guess Big Blue Air got air retired.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

The Mason jar.

[Miles]

Yeah, it did. That's our first retirement piece, right?

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Jared]

Big build off of that.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Can you imagine? Like a pharmacist. A pharmacist retires after a long time and they just, like. They retire. Like a. Their favorite bottle of pills to pack up or something.

[Miles]

Well, it would probably be their white coat.

[Ryan]

Okay. Yeah.

[Jared]

Their little separating knife.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. No, no, it's just. It's a white coat. The separate knife goes into the break room, and that's now the butter knife.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Don't get me rolling on how they don't do anything. What are you. Are you retiring from retirement? Ryan did more on paternity leave than they do at work every day.

[Ryan]

Yoda retired from counting to 30.

[Jared]

Not going to 30 anymore.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, pharmacists have to.

[Miles]

He, like, has grandkids over and he's like, all right, let's count to 10. He's like, I like to leave work. This is my weekend off. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, imagine being married to a pharmacist. Like, they know the calendar better than everyone else. 1 to 30.

[Jared]

They always know the 31st day of a month anyhow.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

They know exactly what a leap year is. Off the dough.

[Miles]

I don't know where you guys. If you guys ever been to the pharmacist where they have, like, the little booth where they tell you about your prescription, you know? So, like, the one I go to, they have like the. It's. It's like the counter that you check out on and then four and a half feet to the right. There's like this little, like, almost looks like an awning or like a thing that goes up and over and it's got, like, clearly, like, some, like, soundproofing type of thing.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Miles]

Because you're having a conversation about your medication. Basically they're giving you medical advice on how to use it and all that.

[Jared]

Right.

[Miles]

And they think by just, like, outlining it that it's just this private conversation. But then again, they're like, so have you taken this before? Yeah. So when you got hemorrhoids and you're kind of just standing there like, keep it down. Can we. Don't we have a room?

[Jared]

We can do this hipaa, dude.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's like, got to be a HIPAA violation, but they're just. They don't care.

[Ryan]

So you have a small dick.

[Miles]

Yeah. So you're having trouble on the bedroom. Classic.

[Jared]

You're the first one today.

[Miles]

You're the first one this hour. You know, I like to pop these right before I work out, hon.

[Ryan]

Gets the blood flowing in all the right ways.

[Jared]

I got nothing going on today.

[Miles]

Pharmacy is just the most lackadaisical thing in the medical industry. I just can't believe it. They're just using butter knives to count pills and just announcing all of your medical history to the world.

[Jared]

Yeah. You get your pills, there's, like, butter on them.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. Pharmacists are just. They're. They were. They were kids who loved playing with stickers when they were younger. Just slapping stickers on stuff, you know? And I'm assuming a majority of the time, if they have the education window, they just have like a. This window closed. Go to next window, and there's just no next window. So they don't even have to give education and just give you a pamphlet that you're not going to read.

[Jared]

Yeah. If they're hungover.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. If they're just hungover, they'll just short someone one fucking whatever. Whatever. Adderall. And it's like, they're not going to count to see if there's 30 in here. If there's 29.

[Miles]

Absolutely. Well, especially Adderall.

[Ryan]

Ah, that's true. That's. That's true.

[Miles]

No, like an antibiotic. Maybe not.

[Jared]

Yeah, not as important.

[Ryan]

No.

[Miles]

Yeah. You don't have to take antibiotics all the way through anyways. As soon as you feel good.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Right. Yeah. And we do have a. We do. We do have, like, a. Like a nice return, like a return policy where we'll, like, refund you back half your money if you return what you have left over, which ends up going into my. My purse.

[Jared]

Right.

[Ryan]

You know, special occasion. AKA every morning I wake up.

[Jared]

Papa. Antibiotics take the edge off.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Now those high, those hydro.

[Miles]

You're supposed to take antibiotics all the time, so you're just healthy, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah. These hydros are not to be crushed up. They're supposed to be taken whole. You end up crushing them up. Make sure you scoop the residue back into the pill.

[Miles]

I don't want to be wasting it.

[Ryan]

No. And return that when you're all done.

[Jared]

If you have to. Gum it. Gum it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And don't drink water for 30. It's like. It's like, don't go swimming 30 minutes after eating. Like, don't drink water 30 minutes after. Until 30 minutes after gumming. These hydros.

[Jared]

What are you, my dentist?

[Miles]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. You want. You want to retire? You wanted to retire. A pharmacist's favorite bottle of pills.

[Ryan]

Maybe they just get like a golden pill bottle.

[Jared]

I like that.

[Ryan]

You know, they get bronze, 10 years of service. They get silver, 20 years. And then retirement at 30 years. They get the gold. Gold plated. It's cubic zirconium. It's just like lightly gold flaked.

[Jared]

Yeah. We're not spending that money.

[Ryan]

No, no, no. So if you even think about selling that. It ain't going to sell.

[Miles]

Oh, God.

[Ryan]

That question took a turn. Sorry, I.

[Miles]

This weekend, Memorial Day weekend. First of all, thanks to all the troops that have kept us safe. This was really about. Forgot to mention.

[Ryan]

Remember what it means? Yep.

[Miles]

But secondly, I. I got to lake, and I was ready to have a great weekend. And I took a look at my lawn. I had some winter kill. Then I had to take my truck over to get the window fixed. So then I went over to the wind to get the window, dropped it off there. My dad picked me up because we were leaving it there. And then we're right next to the hardware store. Like, well, I might as well pick up some seed and some stuff to do some. Yeah, some of that. And then I get back to the cabin, I started working on that, and I'm like, well, I gotta water it now. So we gotta hook up the water pump into the lake. And then all of a sudden, you know, the. The pump's not putting out enough water for the sprinkler. So then I gotta figure out the.

[Ryan]

Pump and filter or something.

[Miles]

Recruit help from down the way, and they come over, they give advice. Pretty soon we get the pump working pretty good. Then all of a sudden, the sprinkler Starts clogging up because all the gunk from the lake gets stuck in there. So then I gotta undo that and the next thing I know it's 9pm and I haven't sat down for a second the entire day.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You haven't had a sip of beer? No, not a sip. Because you're just too busy.

[Miles]

I did get one. I did. Did. That is. Was my reward.

[Ryan]

At the end of the day, that's a non negotiable.

[Miles]

But yeah, I mean, quite literally, lake ownership is just another job.

[Jared]

Right.

[Miles]

You know, because I. I've owned it for a few years now and it's just now starting to. You're starting to have stuff starting to break.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I mean, what is the list? The Internet wasn't working. I had to figure that out. I gotta get a new ring. Doorbell just doesn't work. The refrigerator breaker just trips.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

So I can't keep anything in the, in the front fridge. I got to keep all of it in the beer fridge in the back. So your fridge isn't running, it's not refrigerated. I don't have to go and try and catch it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you already got enough stuff to do. We don't need to add that.

[Miles]

I mean, it's just the list goes on and on and on.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Someone wants to use a tube that you left in the garage from last year and there's a hole in it already. So you gotta get. Instead of going by a five dollar tube, just gotta go buy patch. You gotta buy a patch to patch it up.

[Miles]

But the thing that I did realize, drinking that beer at the end of the day, I did realize though as much as Midwesterners like to complain about doing yard work, I did have a sense of relaxation just working on my lawn. Oh, for sure. Midwesterners use manual labor as a form of relaxation. Right. Is what I realized.

[Ryan]

I.

[Miles]

Because, because I've, you know, obviously I've done stuff in my cab, but I've never had that many things go wrong and have to fix in one day out at the lake. And although it was a long day, I didn't feel that tired by the end because I did enjoy it.

[Ryan]

Well, especially, especially when you know how to fix these things. So then it's just like there's no trying to think through the process or watching videos of how I'm gonna fix this thing. It's just like you have to go get what you got to get. You got to take the time to fix it. And that itself is. Is relaxing.

[Miles]

Well, there's a camaraderie aspect because I had to recruit the neighbors to help me figure it out because they got a pump that works great. I'm like, well, mine should work. It's the same one. There's no way we can't get this thing going. Yeah. So now all of a sudden it's a whole, you know, takes a village to water a lawn.

[Jared]

Oh, for sure.

[Ryan]

It takes a lake to water a lawn.

[Jared]

Literally.

[Ryan]

Yeah, quite literally.

[Miles]

And I also realize that and probably a more of a. Another thing is there's something hard coded into Midwesterners that if they aren't accomplishing something manual labor wise, then they get.

[Jared]

Antsy because you feel like a piece of. For not doing anything.

[Miles]

Yeah. Because you were saying that you were. You stained your deck this weekend.

[Jared]

Yep. I stayed in my deck and I.

[Miles]

And going in Friday, what was your feeling?

[Jared]

Is like, I gotta get this done or.

[Miles]

Or I'm a piece of.

[Jared]

I'm a piece of. Yeah, exactly.

[Miles]

And same thing, I looked at my lawn. I'm like, if I don't do this, I'm gonna be thinking about it all week.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I, I just have like my dad in the back corner of my mind like telling me I'm a piece of lazy bones or whatever.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

So it just like that sort of like little voice in your head.

[Miles]

And I think the worst part is, is we used to give my dad crap growing up. We used to call. Every time you make us do stuff at the lake, we call it work camp. Like, oh, you're going like this weekend? Well, kind of. We're. We're going to work camp.

[Ryan]

Actually.

[Jared]

We're not going to relax.

[Miles]

And now after three years of owning a lake home, I have now started my own work camp.

[Jared]

Right.

[Miles]

Took three years. And all of a sudden I'm turning into my father.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And like a surefire sign that it is relaxation for you when you're doing this work is like when you forget to eat.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's like, you know, you start at 9am and you look at the clock, it's 3pm and you haven't eaten a single thing that day.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's when you know it's relaxing though, is because you're just, you're dialed in and you're, you're loving what you're doing.

[Miles]

Well, there's something so satisfying with saying, got that done onto my next project.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I got my kids saying that over paternity leave. Like what you're saying is exactly what was happening mentally and then also physically during Pat Leave like yesterday. Yesterday. Last day of leave. Right. I just started picking up the big like the bigger sticks in the yard. And when I say bigger sticks, I mean like nothing more, you know, nothing, nothing or nothing under eight inches.

[Jared]

It's huge.

[Ryan]

And there was maybe, maybe took me 30 minutes. Did I need to do that? Probably not.

[Miles]

But I don't have grass.

[Ryan]

I don't have grass.

[Miles]

So you didn't. Definitely didn't need to do it.

[Ryan]

Didn't need to do it. But I also like it was. Had my AirPods in. I was listening to you guys smoking and joking and then I was relaxed, you know.

[Jared]

And you're laughing your head off.

[Ryan]

Laughing my head off.

[Miles]

Laughing your balls off.

[Ryan]

Couldn't even get work done. I was laughing so hard.

[Jared]

But like even when I was staying my deck, it took me like two days. And like the first day I'm like, yeah, I've done enough. I think I've done enough to be happy.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like bargaining with yourself.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

I think you're like, would my dad be proud of me?

[Jared]

Me? Exactly.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Should I walk 20 yards to pick that stick? I. I think I picked enough sticks.

[Jared]

I think I'm good. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I think I did enough today.

[Miles]

Yeah. There is like this, this thing in the back of my head that it's like there was a moment where I could have cut some corners.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Miles]

But I actually, it's not even the voice in back of my head. I have my father next door watching me do like if I cut corners here, he's going to. And then when it doesn't, doesn't work, he's going to be like, well cuz you didn't do this.

[Ryan]

Expect it to work. You cut corners for great.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean you're speaking my language right now.

[Miles]

So I laid down some topsoil mixed with like some manure. Like just some extra stuff. I don't even know if I'm supposed to do that.

[Ryan]

But yeah, hold some moisture in like Pete Moss like that.

[Miles]

Yeah, Pete Moss in it, Whatever. But you know, you lay that down, it kind of doesn't smell the best.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Miles]

So then I'm like. And I did this on Saturday and I was like, oh, literally. Are my. Yeah. Are my neighbors gonna be like really dude? You laid down this smelly ass and I'm just trying to sit on my deck and enjoy the weekend.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And now I gotta smells like I'm at a farm.

[Ryan]

Yeah. My Sunday coffee is starting to taste like a silo.

[Jared]

You Hope the wind changes direction.

[Miles]

Yeah, I got an industrial fan out there blowing it away.

[Ryan]

Just blowing it out towards the lake.

[Jared]

It's all the boaters drive by.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, that's such a good point.

[Jared]

Well, Miles, you just gotta think about. Think of all the stuff that is working right now at your lake.

[Miles]

Correct perspective. Let's see. The windows work good. The windows work. Can look out them.

[Jared]

Got your patio sweat.

[Miles]

The heat works. Because there was. When we got there, it was pretty chilly in the cabin, so we had to turn on the heat. So that works.

[Jared]

There you go.

[Ryan]

Do the doors open and close?

[Miles]

Yeah, I gotta fix my screen door. I just gotta tighten a couple screws. Going a little haywire on me. Is the screws loose?

[Ryan]

Is the beer cold?

[Miles]

Beer is cold. The one refrigerator works.

[Jared]

Doorbell doesn't work.

[Miles]

Doorbell doesn't work.

[Ryan]

Does the TV work?

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah, There you go.

[Miles]

It didn't though right away because I had to fix frick with the WI Fi.

[Jared]

That's pretty good.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you're sitting there and you're like. So while you're in the middle of doing a project at your house or cabin, you're then thinking about the next project. Yeah, you know, I'm sitting there, I'm doing the planting, new grass, whatever, and I'm like, should really put a tree right there. A tree. If that grew up nice, add some shade here. It would look nice.

[Jared]

Get some apples.

[Ryan]

Do I want to plant this grass? If I put a tree there, I'm gonna have to dig it up anyway.

[Jared]

You know, just kick the can down the road.

[Ryan]

Yeah. That's the slippery slope that I tend to take is. I mean, there's. There's always shit to be done and always putting that right after that. The project I just finished, it's like, hey, let's just finish this one and then maybe just take a break for a second.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

But no, you are from the Midwest. You cannot.

[Ryan]

Yeah, well, I got a burn barrel now too, so it's like, I don't like it. I always have cardboard to burn, so there's always something to do.

[Miles]

You know, I was also this close for my lawn turning into the. Turning into the. The bench project and the house numbers project. I ran out of topsoil and I was kind of just like, I don't want to have to go in and buy some more. But luckily my dad had to go put gas in the boat and they had top soil there, so he picks him up for me.

[Ryan]

That's clutch.

[Miles]

Absolute assist from my dad.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Going Back to the hardware store is tough.

[Miles]

I did have to go back to hardware store.

[Ryan]

I'll come back a third time because.

[Miles]

I had to go get. My dad's sprinkler heads were all clogged. We couldn't get them unclogged, so I had to go buy a new sprinkler head. And I literally checked out with the same guy. Checked out in the morning. And he just goes, you're back. And I said, yeah, it looks like both of us put in a full work day.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You know, you're telling me about that credit card earlier. Might be a good time to sign up for that baby.

[Jared]

Yeah, Good rewards here.

[Ryan]

Let's get 75 bucks off and get a new. Open a new credit card up. I come here often enough.

[Jared]

You'll be back.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And I think the final nail in the coffin for Midwesterners is there's something so addicting to comparing how much your project would have cost if you would have paid someone versus doing it yourself. That fact alone keeps Midwesterners doing labor until eternity.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

You couldn't be, I think, all in.

[Miles]

Like, with the seed. I even got a little hand spreader because I didn't have one of those. See, whatever I was in probably, I don't know, a little over a hundred bucks. And it's like. Then you go, like, well, if I had paid someone to come in here, it cost me at least a thousand.

[Ryan]

Yeah, 100.

[Miles]

And that little phrase at the end of the project just keeps Midwesterners perpetually doing manual labor. Labor. But again, there's also an enjoyment and satisfaction to it.

[Jared]

So, like, I did that.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And if we. If we don't do that, then, well, you know, what lessons are our kids gonna take away?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You know, well, if something, you know, something's broke out, we just leave it, or we just buy a new one, whatever.

[Jared]

Be bankrupt.

[Ryan]

Bankrupt.

[Miles]

Well, and I had the extra satisfaction of. My mom was like, so how much that costs you? Like, three, four hundred bucks for everything? And I was just, you know, someone overestimates how much it costs. And you're just sitting there licking your chops like, oh, she thinks that costs 300 bucks. Her mind is about to be blown. And even if it costs you, like, 140 bucks, you go, yeah, a little over a hundred bucks.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Oh, God, yeah.

[Miles]

Slap them with those. A little over 100 bucks.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

And they have a nice little rebate, too.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Especially when you start taking advantage of rebates.

[Miles]

Pretty funny moment, though. My dad, I'M gonna get there eventually, too. I know it. But my dad's addicted to the rebate. And he. He's like, you know, I'll send in that rebate for you. I got a few lined up. And then I was like, okay. Yeah. They gave him the receipt because he's gonna send it in anyways.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And then my younger brother reveals to me later when we're talking about the rebate, he goes, those. Those other rebates he's sending in were. The receipts are a five dollar purchase and an eight dollar purchase. So he's sending in the rebate for.

[Ryan]

No more than a dollar back. Less than a dollar back.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, you can't even buy Tootsie Rolls at the hardware store for a penny anymore.

[Jared]

It adds up.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

There is logic to that, though.

[Miles]

No, I know, but it was just funny because my brother was just like, he's just wasting his time for a.

[Ryan]

Dollar that gives him enjoyment.

[Miles]

He's addicted to the rebate.

[Jared]

Addicted to the mail. Gives him a reason to check the mail. You drop that off?

[Miles]

Yeah. With the stamp alone, almost getting, you know.

[Ryan]

Right. Yeah. Stamps are 75 cents these days.

[Jared]

I feel like kind of losing money sending that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.

[Miles]

Well, that's why his eyes were lighting up when he saw mine. He's like, we're gonna. We're gonna rake it in here. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Will you get that rebate check back?

[Miles]

No.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

It's a donation to my dad.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

At this point.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Make it worth it for his. Him to send his in.

[Jared]

I'll make him happy when the mail comes in.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's like once. Once you, like, own a home and you start doing the math on how much the electricity cost for leaving a light on. Your dad. Your dad was acting like it was costing him 100 bucks an hour.

[Jared]

Right. It's like the AC was on when he was gone.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

There may be by if you left the lights on the whole time, like, with LED bulbs and everything now, like, what, you're spending an extra, like, 25 bucks a month.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

If you left them on all the time.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Like, I remember my dad came over and he was dropping something off. So we were in the driveway, and he looks up and he sees during the middle of the day, my outside lights were on. I thought he was gonna have an aneurysm. I thought he was gonna lose it. Just couldn't fathom.

[Jared]

Yeah. It's like you left a gas stove on for, like, five days.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

It was like I punched him in the face.

[Ryan]

But that's going to be us with.

[Jared]

I know it's the principle.

[Ryan]

And like, like, here's a good example. My kid will leave the. He, like, he'll leave the door open for, let's just say, more than three seconds. Close it. Close the door. Mice, bugs, gotta close it. It's like there ain't gonna be anything. Nothing's going in there. Like, just relax a little bit. Hey, the ac. There's not much AC that's going to get out into the garage by leaving the door open for three seconds. But it's just, it's. It's in me that I have to say. Shut the door.

[Jared]

Shut the dead. Don't slam it either.

[Ryan]

Talk to me on the stairs. Yeah. Don't talk to me in the middle of the door frame when it's open. Yeah, dude, I. I'm there. I'm there. That's okay, though. That's okay.

[Miles]

It's okay.

[Jared]

It's okay.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It's okay. Miles.

[Miles]

Yeah. Just slowly morphing into my father.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Jared]

Going to get grumpier by the day.

[Miles]

Yeah. Pretty soon I'll go outside and just be mad at the sun.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Why isn't it cloudy today? It's hor.

[Jared]

And when it's cloudy, why is it at sunny today?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Why do we even need lights on in the house at 2pm the sun's shining. Open the blinds up, but also close the blinds.

[Miles]

Then it's then where more heat's getting in. Then we gotta turn the AC see on.

[Ryan]

You're not wrong, Jared.

[Miles]

I heard you got a new dangerous hobby.

[Jared]

I do.

[Miles]

So I'm very intrigued by this.

[Ryan]

Me too.

[Miles]

Because I just. If there's one guy I know that's not gonna pick up a dangerous hobby, it's Jared.

[Ryan]

And what's your, you know, what's the definition of Jared's dangerous?

[Jared]

It's not physical, so that's good.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

Well, let's see.

[Jared]

I'm not going like cross country skiing.

[Ryan]

Or anything more emotional. Emotionally dangerous.

[Miles]

Is cross country skiing dangerous? I think it's one of the safer.

[Jared]

I was thinking like down hillski and I said cross country.

[Miles]

Well, you know, see, you just proved my point. Jared thinks cross country skiing is dangerous, so this might be a little bit of a let down.

[Jared]

Yeah, I don't know why I said that.

[Miles]

I think dangerous. I think like skydiving, you know, free climbing and Jared's like going for a walk. You know, it's. There's uneven ground out there. You may, you may Roll an ankle.

[Jared]

I got my tubes tied.

[Miles]

Yeah, you may. You may step on a crack and break your mama's back to dangerous sport. Walking is.

[Jared]

That was dumb.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Skiing on thin ice.

[Jared]

There you go.

[Ryan]

You know? Yeah.

[Miles]

You ski on ice?

[Ryan]

No. Well, I mean, a frozen, like more dangerous. More dangerous, you know. You know, if you're cr. If you're cross country skiing on a golf course, you might go over, you know, over the pond or something.

[Jared]

You might fall down.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You might run over a T marker with your ski and fracture an ankle. But other than that, it's safe.

[Jared]

I don't know why I said that. So about when it was the. When was the Kentucky derby? Like three, three weeks ago, A month ago?

[Ryan]

Yeah, about three, two, three weeks ago. Yep.

[Jared]

So I won. I bet on Sovereignty. He was the horse that won one. I was like, I won like 100 bucks on that.

[Ryan]

Thanks for sharing.

[Jared]

So then yesterday I saw that there was more horse racing on.

[Miles]

Oh, you're turning into a horse racing guy.

[Jared]

That's what's happening. So I bet probably like 30 bucks. Won a couple races and then I did a pick three and I put ten bucks on. Stopped watching for a while, opened my account. I won like a. A 53 to 1 bet on horse racing. So I put $10 down. I won like 500 bucks. So. So I've. I've kind of have a horseshoe up my ass with horse racing with the luck going on. So I'm. I might be getting into horse racing here.

[Miles]

You won 500 bucks. So what have you won total now overall?

[Jared]

Probably like 600, 700 bucks.

[Ryan]

Bucks.

[Miles]

And how much do you put down?

[Jared]

No more than 50 bucks.

[Ryan]

Holy, that's dangerous.

[Miles]

Well, now, that's dangerous now. Well, now it's just a matter of scaling up, you know?

[Jared]

Yeah, I gotta be careful.

[Miles]

Yeah. Just imagine you put 100, 100 bucks in and you get, you know, 6, 700 bucks. You put 10 grand down, that's 60, 70 grand, you get yourself a brand new pickup truck.

[Jared]

Good. It's better than the S P so far.

[Miles]

Are you. Are you are beating the SMP with horse racing, so, yeah, you maybe got to start sharing your picks. You're just turning into somewhat of a horse racing influencer.

[Jared]

Yeah, all I'm really doing is picking the most favorite horse to show, which is just a horse taking top three.

[Ryan]

I'm still trying just to show up.

[Jared]

Just top three is what show means. I'm starting to learn the lingo too.

[Miles]

Yeah, you're starting to get in with.

[Jared]

Them like the exact other.

[Miles]

You just can't be sounding like a newbie like me and Ryan to the horse racing community.

[Jared]

You guys don't have a horse in this race.

[Ryan]

We don't.

[Miles]

Do you dress up for the races?

[Jared]

Not yet.

[Miles]

That's what we'll know. You've gone too far is if you're wearing a suit in your living room watching the race and taking. I don't know why. The. The little thing that shows all the odds and stuff. The paper and.

[Ryan]

Sure, yeah.

[Miles]

Smacking your ass.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

If you get to that point, we know you've gone too far.

[Jared]

I have, like, a blazer I put on and just sit on the couch. Much my shorts on.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Well, yeah. Step one, you're gonna show up to work one day with, like, a polo from the racetrack that you went to this last week.

[Jared]

Exactly. All merch.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just feel like you just slowly evolve into a frat guy, you know, like he just starts wearing some salmon shorts to work, some boat shoes, and all of a sudden, a blazer. He never wears a hat anymore. He just slicks his hair back.

[Jared]

Yeah, I'm sunburned because I'm outside at the tan.

[Miles]

Yeah, you're just suddenly tan all the time.

[Jared]

Yeah. So it's something I got to keep an eye on.

[Miles]

Yeah, I would.

[Jared]

It was a. It was a really good high.

[Miles]

Does your wife know about it?

[Jared]

No. She knows about the Kentucky Derby. She doesn't know about this.

[Miles]

Oh, that's also. I mean, you.

[Ryan]

You talk about the wins, you know, we. We don't need to talk about the losses.

[Jared]

I know, but if I tell her about the wins, you know how that goes.

[Miles]

Yeah. She's like, oh, we can now get new granite countertops.

[Ryan]

Okay. Then you come. You know, it's like, well, you know, you can't. You can't. Withdra money. Until your account hits X, you know, this balance. Until you hit five grand balance, you can't withdraw anything.

[Jared]

Yeah. So I haven't told her about it yet. I will.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you won't.

[Miles]

I don't think it sounds like you will.

[Ryan]

I. I would because it's gonna.

[Jared]

Now that I said that, now I have to say it. It's gonna come bite me.

[Miles]

Is she gonna be excited or is she gonna go, well, why didn't you tell me earlier?

[Jared]

She'll be excited because she always asks if I have any bets going. So she'll be. She'll be happy for us.

[Miles]

She's supportive that.

[Ryan]

Well. Yeah.

[Miles]

Just do some partial truths. You know that every. Every Guy's got to have some sock drawer money.

[Jared]

There you go. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Little rainy day fund.

[Miles]

Tell her that they take like, 25 for their cut.

[Jared]

There you go.

[Miles]

You know, broker fee.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It's a whole thing. Yeah. I don't want to bore you with it, so I'll stop talking about it.

[Miles]

Yeah, but essentially. Yeah. Then after taxes, you know, basically, it's about 30 payout.

[Jared]

Yeah. It's nothing bad.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just like any gift that you get her going forward, like, you bought that gift with your. With the money you want on horse racing.

[Jared]

Here's some jewels.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. Here's a. Here. Hey. Your new granite countertops is in the back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee, you know.

[Jared]

Yeah. Sit in my account. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a. And there's, like, horse races every day, too.

[Miles]

So are you doing it for the. Are you doing it for the love of the game or are you. Are you doing it to make money?

[Jared]

I do. I do like it because there's, like, certain horses that are better on, like, dirt. There's horses that are better on grass.

[Miles]

So you're nerding out a little bit.

[Jared]

It is kind of fun. It is not football season either, so that's a big part of it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Once NFL's back, you're gonna.

[Jared]

I'm done with it.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

For sure.

[Jared]

Until derby again.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's like a summer fling thing.

[Jared]

Yeah, exactly.

[Miles]

Yeah. You're like Sandy and what's his name? John Travolta.

[Ryan]

What's his name?

[Jared]

In Greece.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah. What's his name?

[Jared]

I haven't seen it.

[Miles]

Johnny.

[Ryan]

That was Tyler's thing because he was talking about being at the lake and falling in love with a girl that summer.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And watching Grease at the cabin.

[Miles]

Happens. That's you. Horse racing.

[Jared]

My summer loving.

[Miles]

And I think if that's the case, which I do, you know, a lot of people say I can quit anytime. I think you will quit once. Football's so world.

[Jared]

And my units are small. I'm not betting crazy.

[Miles]

Which Ryan in the betting community, crazy units. Yeah, That's. That's how much money he's betting.

[Ryan]

Yeah, like, you know, everyone has.

[Miles]

You're not an insider like Jared and I.

[Ryan]

No. Yeah. Yeah. No, I. My units are a lot smaller than yours, Jared. Actually, my unit is a lot bigger than yours.

[Jared]

Careful you phrase that.

[Ryan]

I also think you got to give yourself business hours, too, you know, when. When. When business is closed. Business is closed. We can't be up, you know, 2, 2am betting on. No. No horse Racing. So, like, you know, Kyrgyzstan, ping pong. Right, something.

[Jared]

Yeah, well, there's horse races going all the time all over the world, too. That's another problem. Like Australia, Ireland, America. Yeah, it's a whole problem.

[Ryan]

And, well, then you just go back to, well, it's 5 o' clock somewhere, you know, business is open. Even though it's 2:00am Right. And you're betting on a horse race in Croatia.

[Jared]

Right. I watch it on my phone in bed.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You're trying not to wake up your wife.

[Ryan]

She's like, honey, honey, honey.

[Miles]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's easy to play off.

[Miles]

All right, well, you have to let us know if you're still gonna be up.

[Jared]

Yep, I'll let you guys know. So. So it's fun. I recommend it.

[Ryan]

But take the cash out and then just say. Because if you keep taking the cash out and you got nothing in your account or you got very little, then you got cash in hand. But then you, you know, you can't go overboard with your account.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah.

[Miles]

You got fun fact for us, Jared?

[Jared]

I do. Let me pull it. There are actually, there actually isn't 57 varieties of Heinz ketchup and never were. Company founder, H.J. heinz.

[Ryan]

HGH.

[Miles]

Hand job.

[Jared]

Heinz thought his product should have a number, and he liked 57. It was 5 and 7 were his lucky numbers. That's why it's 57. Heinz ketchup.

[Miles]

Why did he need a number?

[Jared]

He said it was like a catchy appeal.

[Miles]

Ketchup. Ketchup.

[Ryan]

So. And I'm assuming that's also why he named it 57 Sauce. Yeah, 57 Steak Sauce.

[Jared]

More of a branding.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Thing because, like, Dr. Pepper goes the opposite route. They say, what is it, 27, 23 flavors or 27 flavors?

[Jared]

It's 20. It's always been 23.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They're probably lying to us too.

[Miles]

I think. I think it's been proven moving.

[Ryan]

Oh. Either that or the founder is a big Michael Jordan fan.

[Jared]

Well, this is like in the 1800s.

[Ryan]

Okay. Yeah.

[Miles]

And I guess I never thought about that.

[Jared]

And if you have those glass ketchup bottles, you're supposed to tap on the logo.

[Miles]

I knew that one.

[Jared]

Not on the bottom of it.

[Miles]

Yep, right there. One of those. Or you could be a crazy person and just shove a knife in there.

[Ryan]

Or a fry or the longest fry you got on your. Shove that sucker up there.

[Jared]

There's always somebody bitching at the table how much they hate the glass bottle of ketchup.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Yeah. I always go with Just like the immediate, like, aggressive stop. So it's just get gravity to pull it back down.

[Jared]

And that's all over your plate.

[Ryan]

Yes. Yeah. It's in your. Yeah. Yep.

[Miles]

Everyone talking about how bad plastic is for your body with the microplastics, but God damn it. Using a plastic squirt bottle for ketchup and stuff is nice.

[Jared]

That's nice.

[Miles]

I mean, I just. Once they invented the squeeze bottle, we were doomed.

[Ryan]

Yes, we were.

[Miles]

We're just. We're never going back to glass.

[Ryan]

We're just all a microplastic now.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

We rather have convenience than be poisoned.

[Miles]

I'm. I'm under the impression that we'll just evolve as humans to actually need microplastics. Yeah. Know, just like fish that evolved or they need air instead of water. Over time, I think humans will just end up needing plastic to survive.

[Jared]

So that's.

[Miles]

That's what I'm banking on. That's what I'm holding out for, is evolution.

[Jared]

I mean, water and plastic, those are two things. You like me? Yeah. Well.

[Miles]

Is that it? Jared, Guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet your Radio. Have a great week. Glad to have Ryan back or. I don't even think we're gonna be full strength next week. I think Tyler's gone next week, too.

[Jared]

I have to check. But. Yeah.

[Miles]

So have a great week. We'll see you in the next one.

[Ryan]

Love you. Oh, you betcha.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Miles. Mary. Kill Oreos. That one part of the steak. Garlic bread.

[Miles]

Someone did say what that part of.

[Tyler]

The steak was called, and I don't remember.

[Miles]

I think it's the. The cap or the rib cap?

[Tyler]

Rib cap.

[Miles]

Rib cap. On a ribeye. The rib cap. Okay. Oreos. That one part on steak. What was the other?

[Jared]

Garlic bread.

[Miles]

That is.

[Jared]

It's a doozy.

[Miles]

Just disgustingly hard.

[Jared]

Good way.

[Miles]

In a good way.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, this is probably the closest. That wasn't a. Just a question that I didn't know. To the stump, Miles.

[Ryan]

Mm.

[Miles]

I think, because, like, I have. I'll have steak and garlic bread much more than I'll have Oreos.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

But if I get myself in front of a sleeve of Oreos, game over. I am deleting those harder, faster, stronger, with more girth than anyone you've ever seen. I. It'll get to the point, and I. And I love getting them nice and soft in a. In a thing of milk. I'll just drop it in there and then just let it soak for, like, two minutes.

[Jared]

You're like A Mormon.

[Miles]

And then it just melts. Yeah, I just, I just Mormon the Out of my.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we get the. Those bags of mini Oreos for the kids. Like, there's a jumbo pack. There's like Nutter Butters and stuff there too. I'll just take the mini Oreos, dump them in a coffee cup, pour milk in there and eat it like cereal.

[Jared]

That's smart.

[Miles]

That's smart.

[Jared]

Because the mini Oreos aren't that great.

[Tyler]

No. And you can't dunk them because you just got to stick your whole finger in there if you're trying to dump them.

[Miles]

You guys know the hack with double stuff Oreos where you take a fork and stick it in the cream.

[Jared]

I've done this.

[Miles]

When I learned that. That my life changed. It was like, that was a life changing moment.

[Tyler]

You literally go from fork to Oreo to mouth, fork back into the package to grab Oreo number two. You don't even have to touch anything.

[Miles]

And it's. You get the. You can just pop the whole cookie.

[Tyler]

In your mouth and there isn't the one random dry bit from where you were holding it.

[Ryan]

It's the best.

[Miles]

I didn't consider that everything is moist like bread. So that being said.

[Jared]

Oh, man, this might be our toughest one.

[Miles]

It is it. It is.

[Tyler]

I, I. Can I help you out a little bit?

[Miles]

Yeah. Hey, anything helps. You're like, no, no, I have to work through this on my own.

[Tyler]

Well, I just don't want to put an asterisk on the stump, Miles.

[Miles]

I just, I just to struggle for like 10 minutes. No, I don't need help.

[Jared]

Just quiet.

[Tyler]

They didn't say you can't have steak. You just can't have that one bite.

[Miles]

That is true.

[Jared]

That's a good point.

[Tyler]

That one bite is awesome.

[Miles]

I do like that loophole. But why are we eating ribeyes if we're not getting that one part?

[Tyler]

It is good, but the rest is good too.

[Miles]

It is. It is. You're right.

[Jared]

I like just calling it that one part.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

It's like, well, we're concrete. We called it that radio. Want to, want to go grab that radio? Yeah. I. For that reason, I will. I'll marry garlic bread. Garlic bread was what it was, right? Y Garlic bread. You guys know me wife. I'll wife up any bread you throw at me. Yeah, yeah. Because I can eat the rest of the steak. I'll kill the. That one part of the steak. And Oreos. I basically do already.

[Ryan]

Anyways.

[Jared]

OJ's Bronco, you know, the Old saying, I give an arm and a leg. Would you rather give up the arm or the leg?

[Miles]

I think I'd rather give up an arm.

[Tyler]

Oh, I think I'd rather give up a leg.

[Miles]

You are much more disabled without a leg.

[Tyler]

I just. I think prosthetics in the leg area are better than arms.

[Miles]

We're cutting off. You can't get a prosthetic.

[Tyler]

We'll say it wasn't in the question.

[Jared]

Can't do it.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, if you can get a prosthetic, then the. Then I'll give the leg because, you know, I don't need to look and.

[Tyler]

They'Ve been doing it.

[Miles]

I don't need to dip my Oreos with my feet.

[Tyler]

You know, do a prosthetic arm would be great to dip Oreos.

[Miles]

Just put a little fork attachment in the end.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I mean, pirates were sailing the seven seas with peg legs just fine.

[Miles]

And hooks. Yeah, quite literally. The guy running the show had a hook.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he got his ass beat by a 10 year old.

[Ryan]

So.

[Miles]

So it's true. So, Lord Voldemort.

[Jared]

Spoiler.

[Miles]

Spoiler.

[Tyler]

17.

[Jared]

Whatever.

[Miles]

No, he was actually one years old when he first kicked his ass.

[Tyler]

It's true. Didn't finish the job, though.

[Miles]

Kids, kids.

[Ryan]

A quitter.

[Miles]

What was the question? Yeah, I think if prosthetic leg, no prosthetic arm.

[Jared]

Yeah, agreed.
