• Behind slowpokes: Sympathy for those stuck behind slow-check writers or coin sorters.

  • Miles: “I feel embarrassed I didn’t know it was French.” (10:17)
• Struggling to hear what someone says and having to go, “What?” more than twice—especially among strangers or in public.
• Uncomfortable eye contact with strangers multiplied if you’re recognizable, like Miles.

- Midwest Compliment Anxiety

• The awkwardness of accepting kind words and the tendency to self-deprecate or downplay.

• Accidentally rolling or dropping objects in public (basketballs, marbles, etc.).

  • Miles: “I went in for the dap and he just went for the hug. It’s such a power move…” (24:58)
  • Ryan: “You have a 25% chance from those options... Actually HALF that, because you both have to get it right.” (23:41)

4. Parenting-specific Awkwardness

  • Ryan: “What are you even supposed to do when your kid asks, ‘Why is that guy so big?’” (18:18)

• Mishaps with squeaky car brakes in school drop-off lines.
• Sports gaffes: airballing at the gym, missing a layup, bricking shots.
• Struggling to walk “cool”—tripping and “flatfooting” it when trying to look nonchalant.

6. Sports, Odds, and Prize Picks Segment (13:14–17:07)

• Debates and bets on the Vikings’ receivers and other NFL players. The guys riff on gambling logic, superstitions, and being “high” on certain picks, as well as the concept of emotional betting.

  • Tyler: “I haven’t bet on the Vikings one single time because I’m trying not to.” (14:36)
  • Miles: "We're high on PrizePicks right now, high on players, high on life." (16:53)

7. Creative Construction Site Nickname Game (51:56–61:15)

• The guys invent nicknames for hypothetical construction workers based on quirky bios—e.g., “Gerard,” “Dink,” “Ditka,” “Peaches,” “Schofield.”
• Miles: “Most nicknames happen because… he once took a 45-minute shit in a porta potty when it was a hundred degrees. So we call him Sauna.” (58:48)
• A masterclass in word association and inside-joke culture.

8. Who Would Run What in a Pet Store? (82:52–91:54)

• Long riff on which host would take which role in a hypothetical pet store:
  • Miles, who’s never been in a pet store, wants to be the manager (“Management is management”), but the gang pegs him as cashier.
  • Tyler’s the “backdoor manager,” Tyler or Ryan probably at the greeter post, Jared (eventually) at the till too.
  • Arguments about how to attract people in, including whether putting a snake on someone would bring in customers.

Takeaways

If you’ve ever lain awake thinking about a dumb little moment that embarrassed you, chances are these guys have, too. Their stories span airplane misadventures, Midwest restaurant gripes, the universal awkwardness of public restrooms, and the agony of slow check writers. They build a hilarious, relatable map of mundane discomforts that’ll make you feel a little more “normal” for your own. Stick around for the creative nickname segment and the “what would you do in a pet store” chaos, which brilliantly blend real Midwest culture and pure comedy.

Transcript

[Miles]

Welcome back everybody, to another episode of the you betcha radio podcast. The boys are here. The boys are back. How was your Thanksgiving?

[Tyler]

Good. Thankful.

[Ryan]

Gave a lot of thanks. Ate a lot of food.

[Jared]

Ate a lot of food.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I was feeling lethargic.

[Miles]

Scheduled tummy ache hit different this year.

[Ryan]

Big time.

[Jared]

Great.

[Ryan]

I mixed a DC in with just about every single Thanksgiving meal too.

[Miles]

Over the entire weekend. I'm pretty sure I had an entire pumpkin piece.

[Jared]

Yes.

[Miles]

For whatever reason. So Anne made apple crisp and then we also brought a pumpkin pie and everyone was fixated on the apple crisp. So I just was kind of slowly picking at the pumpkin pie and then they like gave it to me when I left. So I had at home and then I ended up eating three more slices and I'm pretty sure I ate the whole thing.

[Tyler]

Hell yeah.

[Jared]

Do you use lots of cool whip or whipped cream?

[Miles]

Yeah, my. I would prefer cool whip, but my mom had the ready like ready whip stuff and so I wasn't about to like look for the cool Whip. I just went with what was easiest because for me it's just about getting that pumpkin inside my belly.

[Tyler]

We had a travesty at Thanksgiving. We were cooking, but someone else was in charge of desserts. Two other people were in charge of desserts. Both forgot said desserts.

[Miles]

So you didn't have any dessert Silo.

[Tyler]

It was. They just forgot them. They made the pies and then left them in their fridges at home. And they came all the way from Fargo to the lakes area and so.

[Miles]

They at least made it.

[Tyler]

They did, yeah. No ill intention was.

[Ryan]

How do you know that?

[Jared]

They said.

[Tyler]

That's true.

[Miles]

It's true. Said this is how 9, 11 happened. Communication silos.

[Tyler]

So I tried to save the day. There's a little country C store gas station thing just down the road from my house. I was like, they gotta have something sweet.

[Ryan]

It's a ring pop.

[Tyler]

I found. I found two pre boxed chocolate cakes.

[Miles]

Nice.

[Tyler]

That were ass. They were terrible.

[Miles]

But guys got some fogging. Mike and I. Yeah, I felt like.

[Tyler]

A hero for a minute. Yeah. Says serves eight. It was about this fudgeing big.

[Ryan]

She got some muddy buddies.

[Tyler]

I should have. I should have just bought candy. You're right. But I was like, oh yeah, they don't have pie, but they have cake.

[Jared]

Yeah, they'll let them eat it.

[Tyler]

So let them eat cake.

[Miles]

Them forgetting about the dessert reminded me that I almost forgot that I need to inform everyone about Charlie special that just dropped. Just trying to support a buddy here, but you guys should go check out. Charlie's new stand up special on YouTube.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

So that's. Dude, it doesn't. It's. By the time this comes out, it's already live on YouTube. So you just go watch it. It's called neighborly. And yeah, it's on YouTube. So you just watch for free.

[Ryan]

It's cool.

[Miles]

And yeah, you gotta check it out. Charlie. This one, this one, he did a special before on YouTube, but this one, to me, I felt like he put more heart and soul into it.

[Jared]

Yeah, I really liked it. Yeah.

[Miles]

And I felt like it was very funny, but also like, the amount of effort and how much he cared about it was a lot. And so that alone should. Should entice you to go check it out because Charlie's a good dude and.

[Tyler]

It'S tough to get Charlie to care about anything. He cares about it. You know, it's gonna be good.

[Miles]

So you guys gotta go check it out on his YouTube CH channel. Just Charlie Barron's YouTube channel.

[Jared]

I never say that to his face.

[Miles]

And I would never say that. I hope he does not listen to this because I'm gonna be so embarrassed.

[Tyler]

Jared, you're gonna just block his IP from listening to the pod.

[Miles]

So you guys gotta go check it out. Gotta go check it out. I remembered that. That's good. Look at me.

[Tyler]

I'm glad you remembered.

[Miles]

Thank you for. Thank you for that.

[Ryan]

It'd be embarrassing if you didn't remember, but it's true. For a good body of yours.

[Miles]

And speaking of embarrassing, I was, you know, like, sometimes you just like, you'd be like, laying awake in bed and just like, think about some dumb. You did. Mm. When I was on the plane coming back from Arizona, I was just thinking about the fact that I like, dropped my water bottle and it rolled a couple seats back and I had to like, get up and embarrassedly ask someone to like. They had to like, take out their headphone and be like, what? I'm like, underneath your seat.

[Jared]

So embarrassing, dude.

[Ryan]

At that.

[Miles]

And at that point. And I had already moved seats, so, like, the plane wasn't full and my kid was like feeling cramped, so I just like moved back a few rows and like, whatever. So people are already probably like, this guy's moving seats. So I think so you can just have.

[Tyler]

Did you bring your kid with you?

[Miles]

No, no, no. So he got his. Basically my kid ended up getting his own seat because I moved.

[Tyler]

Gotcha.

[Miles]

But yeah, it was this whole thing. It's just. And it's just little thing that embarrasses you.

[Ryan]

I'M leaving the water bottle at that point.

[Miles]

It's gone.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

Burn it.

[Tyler]

That's something.

[Miles]

Well, don't burn it. It's plastic.

[Jared]

But, yeah.

[Ryan]

I've myself before on a plane. Not literally, but like this. I farted on a plane before, and it's embarrassing when you really don't have anyone to blame it on besides yourself.

[Miles]

I mean, I would argue that's not really, like, a little thing. That's embarrassing. I feel like farting on an airplane is a pretty big deal.

[Ryan]

Well, it wasn't a big. It wasn't a big fart. It's just a little one.

[Miles]

That's why it's just a squeaker.

[Tyler]

It wasn't silent, you're saying.

[Ryan]

Well, it's. It's like. It felt silent at. At, like, at release, but then it. It kind of wasn't.

[Tyler]

You're like, did Dale from step. I thought it was going to be silent.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I like the Frontier Airlines. Frontier Airlines has. They have like, like, firmer seats, and those are not good for your pants on. You got to go like, Delta. Delta.

[Miles]

For those that don't speak, Ryan, your pan farting. We should have a Ryan translator. Yes. Podcast.

[Ryan]

Speaking of plans, another thing is a minor thing that's embarrassing is when you go up to the bathroom and there's like, I know. I know. You can see the light, but if there's somebody in there, you just have to stand there. What do you do with your hands?

[Miles]

Yeah, okay, I will. I will double that.

[Ryan]

Do it.

[Miles]

So on the allegiant flight, they apparently have a rule that only one person can be waiting in the. So there I.

[Ryan]

And I.

[Miles]

And I heard him say, because my. My interest peak. Because I was like, I've never heard that before. What the. Going on with that? So I was thinking about that, and I was like, I can't. If there's something I'm not getting up, I'm not doing it. And I saw a second person get up to go wait. And I shit you not. The flight attendant was doing the snack cart, whipped around and stormed up there and told that person to go sit down. Whoa. And I was like, that is so embarrassing for that person. I'm embarrassed.

[Tyler]

Secondhan embarrassment. Yeah.

[Miles]

You just got yelled at.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It's just a walk of shame. Back to your seat. You just got yelled at by a flight attendant.

[Jared]

The full bladder.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I mean, I. I also think it's just embarrassing for whatever reason to go to the bathroom on the plane. Every time I get out, I would just think, oh, they all think I just took a huge.

[Miles]

Oh, really?

[Tyler]

Even though I just. I was in there for 30 seconds, I took a piss and I walk. I always think the whole plane just thinks I in there.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Tyler]

Really?

[Miles]

Because when I. I love pissing on planes, I go. It's. It's because it's like the. Like, you know, you get comfortable in your seat. Like, the only thing that can make you uncomfortable is if you have to pee. So, you know, after you pee, you're like, I have at least another hour and a half before I'm uncomfortable.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I'm about to just melt into this seat.

[Tyler]

Like, there have been plane rides where I've held it for a good hour just because I don't want to piss on the plane.

[Miles]

That's crazy.

[Ryan]

I just.

[Tyler]

I don't know why. I think I genuinely. I'll walk out of the bathroom and be, like, embarrassed for no reason whatsoever.

[Ryan]

So you just put your head down.

[Tyler]

Yeah. But still, I'm just in there. I'm saying, like, they don't think I'm.

[Miles]

Wrecking this, I guess because my head is. I would. I would never think someone. Unless they took a long time. Correct.

[Tyler]

Right.

[Ryan]

But, like, at that point, you're not paying close enough attention to know that they took a lot of time.

[Tyler]

Right.

[Ryan]

But the.

[Tyler]

Yeah, exactly. Nobody's in there timing me, so they don't know if I was in there for 10 seconds or if I was in there for an hour.

[Miles]

That would be funny if some. If the flight attendant was timing.

[Tyler]

Hurry up in there, buddy.

[Miles]

Yeah, Pinch it off. That would be the most embarrassing thing the world.

[Tyler]

Let's go.

[Miles]

The flight attendant's telling you to pinch it off. That's bad news. Bad news.

[Jared]

Seat belts on.

[Miles]

Yeah, I can't, like, seat belt sign is on. We need you out of there. Pinch it off. It's like. Or they're like, you've been in there a long time. We. You missed the snack cart. You need anything?

[Ryan]

They, like, slide a little, like, food pamphlet underneath the door or something.

[Miles]

Or they go on the intercom. They're like, excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, there's been a gentleman who has been. Yeah, Ladies and gentlemen, there's been someone in the bathroom for a while. They were not there. They've been gone the whole snack route. So if someone was sitting next to them and you think that they want a snack, just raise your hand.

[Ryan]

You got your pretzels or biscoff?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Oh, God. I think another thing that's, like, embarrassing is when you are very confident in something that you are like, you. You thought your whole life was true, and then they, like, it's revealed to you. It's like basically learning something too late in life.

[Tyler]

Eric Clapton.

[Miles]

Yeah. Well, no, no, no, no. That was embarrassing. Like, thinking. I'm trying to think of what a good example of that was. Oh, the. The tears and tears.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

With the l' Oreal shampoo.

[Ryan]

I still don't know. I. I still don't know.

[Tyler]

I don't.

[Miles]

Yeah, but like, something like that, where you're just like. You're so confident. Like. Yeah, there's no tears. And then everyone's like, that's. It's not tears. It's tears, dude. And then you're like, oh, like that. Embarrassing.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah. Because I always thought it was vanilla envelopes, but it's vanilla envelopes.

[Miles]

Manila. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I. I thought Tano covers were tunnel covers for the longest.

[Miles]

This should be tunnel covers, Honestly.

[Ryan]

Let's just rename it.

[Tyler]

Makes way more sense. Why did we decide to just keep a French name for those?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

It's a good question.

[Miles]

I feel embarrassed. I didn't know it was French.

[Tyler]

I'm assuming because it's Tono.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I used to work at a Tonneau cover company.

[Tyler]

Is that when you found out they were a tunnel?

[Ryan]

Pretty much, yeah. During the interview, they're like, how do you spell Tano? And I'm like, T, U, N, N.

[Tyler]

E, L. And I figured it out is when I bought my first one, I was searching all over the Internet for tunnel covers, and they weren't showing up.

[Miles]

The thing is, you can't be the first one, so there's no way Google didn't just, like, automatically switch it.

[Tyler]

So then I had to, like, I was searching tunnel covers just period, and it wasn't showing up. I was getting tunnels with gates and. And I was like, tunnel covers for trucks. And then it showed up. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Got it this year. By yourself, though? Yeah, you know? Yeah.

[Tyler]

Looking for tunnel covers, you know, because that's terrible.

[Ryan]

Embarrassing.

[Miles]

I think another minorly embarrassed. There's a little thing that embarrasses me is, like, when I pay in cash and it just takes me too long to get my cash in my wallet. I just feel like a kid, you know, like. Like, oh, this is this guy's first time using a wallet. He just got this wallet for his eighth birth.

[Tyler]

Might as well be Velcro.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah, it might as well be Velcro. There might as well be a zipper for coins in it as well. That I gotta put them in.

[Tyler]

I buy a lot of stuff at the gas station with cash and I have yet to successfully do that without causing mental warfare in my own hand.

[Miles]

I mean, some, yeah, sometimes I will just, I'll just be like, oh, I'll do this later and I'll just put my wall away and put my cash.

[Ryan]

In my pocket do in my truck.

[Tyler]

I'll hand them the, the I'll pull cash out of my wallet, hand it to them, put my fucking wallet back in my pocket, fully knowing that they still have to give me money back. And it's like, oh. And then I got to take it out again.

[Ryan]

Well, if I have additional cash in my wallet on top of what I'm paying with, I'll take that out and I'll flatten it. So like, I won't, I'll take it out of the fold. So I'm like ready to plop the, my change, cash on top, put it in. But it seems like they never give it back to you super straight. So then you got to fucking coins on top.

[Tyler]

Then you're holding it all shitty.

[Ryan]

Sometimes I'll just put the coins in like the little donation together. Next person just enough. It's like in that situation, one minute feels like one hour.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

You're fumbling with it for one minute.

[Ryan]

Well, okay, okay. 10 seconds feels like.

[Miles]

It does.

[Tyler]

It does.

[Jared]

Imagine it's like interstellar.

[Miles]

Like, I'm not saying that's what you're saying you do. But imagine like actually taking you one full minute to get your cash back into your would be so stressful.

[Ryan]

I've stood behind old people who. It takes at least a minute and you can imagine what I'm saying in my head. Yeah, or they're writing a check or something.

[Jared]

Oh, that's the worst.

[Ryan]

Oh my God. I'll just like, I'll just start looking around to see if anyone else seen this, knowing I know no one else is seeing this besides the cashier. Just make myself feel better, get a little this guy.

[Miles]

All right, guys, time to play some prize picks right now. Prize picks will give you fifty dollars in lineups. When you play your first five dollar lineup, win or lose, you're fifty bucks in lineups. Use promo code YBR today when you sign up today. All right, folks, we were talking about our picks beforehand and we may have a Jerry Springer episode on our hands. So Jared, I want you to repeat exactly what you said. You are high on who? Jordan, Addison and Tyler and I said what?

[Tyler]

I, I, I get that you want to bet on him. I just don't know how you can be high on him right now after three drops in his last game.

[Jared]

He had like, around 40 yards last game. Of the commander's past defense is, like, one of the worst in the leagues.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I. I don't disagree with your pick of more than 41 yards, but just. You can't say you're high on him.

[Jared]

I'm high on it. No, I'm high on that.

[Tyler]

I just. I'm so angry with Addison Jordan.

[Ryan]

Addison is life and Jared is high on life, I guess.

[Tyler]

So I get it.

[Miles]

Just.

[Tyler]

You can't have your favorite team and one of your favorite receivers drop three balls and then just be high.

[Miles]

It seems like you're being emotional about the fact that the Vikings really suck this year.

[Tyler]

I am very emotional about it. It's hard to watch.

[Miles]

That's really good. I'm glad that we're. We're putting lineups in with a guy who's really emotional about sports. It always ends well. For. If you.

[Tyler]

If you've noticed something this year, I haven't bet on the Vikings one single time because I'm trying not to.

[Ryan]

I think it might affect your other. Your other.

[Tyler]

I'm not, though. I'm not letting my heart affect your guys's lives.

[Miles]

But what if the play is a Vikings player and you're just. Now you're. Now you're playing with emotions.

[Jared]

This is a classic Viking spot. When they zig it. When you think they're zigging, they're zagging.

[Miles]

Yeah. That's classic.

[Tyler]

It's just. It's just tough to watch. Just the worst quarterback play of all time. And then when we finally have a passage should be completed to a really good receiver, he drops it three times.

[Miles]

But Redemption tour this week.

[Tyler]

Well, the whole season we've been waiting for the Redemption Redemption tour to start, and I'm still way. I'm not holding my breath.

[Jared]

Addison will do extra time on the jugs machine.

[Tyler]

I hope so.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Get him in the jug.

[Ryan]

Something's gonna change.

[Tyler]

We gotta get the gorilla glue gloves on him or something. Yeah.

[Miles]

Stick them. Yeah. All right. So you're picking. You're still staying after. After Tyler getting very upset with you.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You're still really high on Jordan Addison, and he's at 41 and a half.

[Jared]

41 half receiving yards more.

[Miles]

Yep. More than that. Tyler, who do you got?

[Tyler]

I got Jacoby Brissette.

[Miles]

You're really high on.

[Tyler]

I am. I am high on Jacoby Brissette. I don't know how he can't be with. He's. He's put together some incredible weeks.

[Miles]

And what's his line?

[Tyler]

248 and a half pass yards.

[Miles]

More than.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

All right. I'm really high on Devon Achan. Right. Thank God. Stressing about that all morning. Devon Hn. The dude's an animal. I even toggled up. I'm really high on him right now, and he's at 89 and a half. Rush yards, I think.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

I did rush, right?

[Jared]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Thank God.

[Ryan]

Rush yards. Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

Who are you really high on this week?

[Ryan]

Well, if you guys are high, I'm high on George Pickens.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And I think G pick's gonna. He's got a touchdown in him, so I'm going more than 0.5 TDs.

[Tyler]

We're both high on Pickens.

[Jared]

George Price Pickens.

[Miles]

Yeah. That's. That's the great way. Great way to do a lineup. Just puns.

[Tyler]

We also threw it a little. I know you guys can't do this. We're recording this on a Tuesday. So next Tuesday, keep an eye out for the Taco Tuesday picks.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

We threw an Anthony Edwards Taco Tuesday on top of this.

[Miles]

Really bumped up our multiplier.

[Tyler]

Sure did.

[Ryan]

Yeah. This is the week, boys.

[Miles]

So this is the week. We're high on stuff. We're high on prize picks right now. We're high on players. We're high on life. And if you are, too, you got to sign up. Prize picks. Code ybr. Play along.

[Tyler]

One little thing that embarrasses me and I. I don't think I'm the only one, but I might be. When it's raining and my windshield wipers are faster than the guy next to me, I feel like I'm overreacting and I get a little embarrassed. Like, minor.

[Ryan]

You're. It seems like you're worried about what other people think too much.

[Tyler]

I guess so. But it's just like I look over like, oh, fuck, am I being dramatic? Having this maxed out?

[Ryan]

I mean, that's me all winter. I'll start my truck up. Just trying to get the snow off.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, like, if they can see, why can't I?

[Miles]

Yeah, I. I could say I confluently never even thought about that.

[Jared]

It's.

[Miles]

So thanks for that. Now I have to be thinking about how fast my windshield wipers are going.

[Tyler]

Yeah. If you're being a drama queen in the rain or not.

[Miles]

I actually will intentionally leave my windshield wipers going even when the rain stops on a road trip. Just to piss off my wife.

[Tyler]

Oh, that. That sound is the worst.

[Miles]

That's so funny. It's so great.

[Jared]

Could be an awful move. Not turn your wipers on. Yeah.

[Miles]

Or not turning them off.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Rather have them stuck on and stuck off.

[Ryan]

Something little that embarrasses me is when I'm in public with my kid and he mentions the size of somebody.

[Tyler]

Oh, dude. They'll point out anything that's embarrassing.

[Ryan]

And I understand they don't know. And I would hope that said person also knows that they don't know. But as a parent, what. How are you even supposed to react to that?

[Tyler]

Right?

[Ryan]

Why is that guy so big? Oh, gosh. Big Thanksgiving.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, if you want. You want the real answer, buddy? It's easy. He's in a caloric surplus. That means that he's not moving very much and he's eating a lot. In very rare instances, there's nothing he can do about it. He has some sort of disease. But in about 99% of cases, he's just stuffing his face and stuffing his ass on the couch and not doing anything.

[Jared]

You're saying that.

[Miles]

And I could.

[Tyler]

In front of this guy.

[Miles]

And I can say that because I used to be really fat.

[Ryan]

Yes, yes, exactly.

[Tyler]

Again, you got to make sure you tell the kid that so that guy.

[Miles]

Can hear you say, like, I can confidently tell my kid when he does that to me someday. The real answer of why that person's so bad because I lived it.

[Ryan]

Deficit isn't even in their vocabulary.

[Tyler]

No.

[Miles]

What about you, Jared? What do you got?

[Jared]

Not knowing what someone said more than three times. You gotta keep saying, what?

[Miles]

Oh, that happened to me on the plane, dude. Oh, yeah. That across the aisle was a gal, and she had a kid that was, like, slightly older than my kid. And so, you know, you see. You see another person with a kid, you kind of like. It's kind of like when guys are wearing the same shirt, they're like, my guy. We're buddies. You know?

[Tyler]

Except this time it's like, hey, we both had sex.

[Miles]

We both had sex around. Similar time frames.

[Jared]

Have to have finger guns.

[Miles]

Yeah, finger guns. But. But she talks really quietly. And on a plane. I don't know if you guys have been on a plane, but that doesn't fly very good. So she said something, and then I was like, oh, what was that? I leaned and like, I had to lean basically all the way across the aisle just to hear what she said. And it happened. I do it, like, three times. And it was. It was embarrassing.

[Jared]

Did you Find out what you said or just went along.

[Miles]

It was a little bit like I caught some of it, you know, I think it was something about like, I think my kid wants to come say hi to your kid. Something like that. Yeah. No way. Yeah, yeah, we both have kids.

[Ryan]

I'll just give like a medium tone laugh at that point. More than two times. Me.

[Jared]

Yeah, I'm on the way to my dad's funeral.

[Tyler]

Nice.

[Miles]

Nice.

[Ryan]

Yeah, his dad left about six months ago. Hasn't shown it, hasn't came back yet.

[Miles]

Yeah, no shit.

[Ryan]

Really.

[Jared]

Very uncomfortable.

[Tyler]

See like, stuff like that doesn't embarrass me, but the other stuff does. I don't know why. Like, dude, I can't hear you. Sorry. Can you speak up?

[Miles]

That's so strange. I very start over with you again. Yeah, it's been a long time. We. We should do it. We should have a thing. Like days. How many days since the last time we had to start over? Back to zero.

[Ryan]

It's like work, like workplace injuries. How many days since the last workplace?

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Miles]

That's. That's so strange. Do you want to dive into that or not really?

[Ryan]

Well, it seems like the face to face interactions, you're. You don't care as much as like the non face.

[Tyler]

Yes. I think we're decipher differing it a little.

[Miles]

That's right.

[Tyler]

I had a buddy over at the Vikings game yesterday and he was talking to me and I wasn't listening at all. And I just told him like, hey, dude, I didn't listen to a word of that. Can you just say it again instead of doing like the. Oh, nice. I was just like, I wasn't listening.

[Miles]

That's so weird.

[Tyler]

And that doesn't embarrass me, but.

[Miles]

You're worried about your windshield going too fast.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I don't get it either. And I didn't realize about myself until right now.

[Miles]

Yeah, that's really strange. Do you, do you need to talk to someone about that?

[Tyler]

Maybe? Yeah, I'm fine talking to people, but if I have to like have them listen to it from a distance, that I'll feel weird.

[Miles]

Yes, that is strange.

[Jared]

Unexpected eye contact with a stranger, that's just terrible for me. Yeah, I'm like the goat out doing that too.

[Miles]

Well, and it happens. It's, it's, it's, it's increased for me because people in public will always be kind of like looking at me to like find out if I'm who I am.

[Tyler]

If you're Baker Mayfield or Guy.

[Miles]

Correct. And then it's like, oh, but. But that.

[Tyler]

It's.

[Miles]

It's so weird because they're also like, looking to see if I like him. Like, give them the what's up? But then sometimes I'll like, make eye contact and like, just a normal, normal thing is to look away and be, like, comfortable. So then I start thinking in that they're the thing that I'm dodging them.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Miles]

Even though I'm not. It was just a normal thing for me to be like, look and then be like, so strange. That is terrible, Jared. It's terrible.

[Jared]

I don't like it.

[Ryan]

One of the most embarrassing things for me is. Is the miscommunication with the goodbye or the dap up. Like whether it's a hug, a fist bump, a dap, a handshake, there's so many different options. Like, you have a 25 chance from those options I just listed out.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Get it. Both get it right. Actually half of that because you both have to get it right.

[Miles]

I mean, like, it would be nice if we just went back to just handshake correct.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You can't it up unless somebody short grips you. That's embarrassing.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah. What. What do you guys think is the most embarrassing way to mess up greeting or a goodbye in terms of doing hand stuff? Is it. Is it the fist bump? Hand over top of the fist bump? Is it the. The going for the handshake and they do the fists and then you go for the fist and then they go for the hand.

[Ryan]

That's. That's mine. Yeah, that's mine.

[Miles]

That one you think is worse.

[Tyler]

That's worse than fist getting grabbed for sure.

[Miles]

Or is it the, like, where you go to, like, dap them up and then they kind of go for the handshake and you kind of just end up like, weirdly grabbing their hand and then pulling them into you?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Even though they don't want that.

[Ryan]

Well, another weird one too is when you go for the dap and they go for the hug. Then you're just swiping at thin air.

[Tyler]

And you're slapping them.

[Ryan]

Pretty much. Yeah.

[Miles]

Dude, just. Oh, that. I hate that that happened. That happened to me when we. When I finally met George Kittle in person because we, like, DM'd a little for it. We got him on the podcast on Bellied Up. I went in for the dap and he just went for the hug. And it just. It's such a power move though, because he's like, ah, we don't hug or we don't. We hug. He's like we hug, you know, And I'm just like, oh. So I was, I was. He's embracing me, being like, hey, we're good buddies. And I'm like, you're only worthy of a dap up. You know, that just. That hit me hard.

[Ryan]

That makes me uncomfortable hearing that story.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Because I know what you're going through.

[Miles]

Sucks, but, like, duh. Should have known. George Kittle's a hugger. Look at him.

[Ryan]

Yeah, chest bump would be easy too. Just both put your hands behind your back and just like bump chess. You can't get that one wrong.

[Miles]

You put your hands behind your back.

[Ryan]

Huh?

[Miles]

You put your hands on your back and then chest bump someone. That's crazy.

[Tyler]

Yeah, because.

[Ryan]

Well, then there's no crazy.

[Miles]

That's embarrassing.

[Ryan]

No, there's no misinterpretation with the hands. The. The hand gestures, dap, shake, knocks, whatever. There's no misinterpretation. And communication styles is how 9, 11 happened.

[Jared]

So I feel like you need to be a bigger guy to chest bump. Like, I have a bigger build.

[Miles]

You either need to be really big or really small.

[Ryan]

Why are you looking at me when you said that?

[Jared]

I usually see like a chest bump guy. Because of your friend.

[Miles]

But like my. My older brother, he's a real small guy and when he's drunk, he'll like, come up and chest bumpy. It's kind of.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. And he walks into it too.

[Miles]

Sticks his chin out. You know exactly, exactly.

[Ryan]

Exactly what you're talking.

[Miles]

Everyone knows a little guy that does that.

[Ryan]

Yes. Yes. Yeah. There's just. There's no universal code for what to do there.

[Tyler]

And it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it makes me very uncomfortable. And then I think about it for at least the next hour.

[Jared]

I usually initiate, but I just have my fist out right away for a fist bump.

[Ryan]

You gotta get ahead of it.

[Miles]

Yeah. One little thing that's embarrassing for me is like, if I'm buying shoes at a store and I can't decide what shoes I want, and they keep having to go back into the back for different sizes and different models.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And you're like, your, Your helmet, you're like, this is the shoe. Then you get it on, you're like, it's not the shoe. And you have to have him go get another one. That. That's so embarrassing. And then I feel like there's been times where I've just bought a shoe because he's. I just sunk. Cost it. Just like he's. He's now done so much work, I just have to pick A pair. It's even worse if you. If you end up not even buying a pair at all.

[Ryan]

Big time. Big time. I bought a new pair of boots a couple weeks ago, and I. In the back of my head, I wanted to see. Because I put both of them on. I was just kind of walking around. I wanted to see how far away from him I could walk before you come back and get me.

[Jared]

That's a good bit.

[Ryan]

I didn't do it, but I. I really wanted to, like, could I have made it down the stairs, potentially?

[Tyler]

That would have been really funny.

[Ryan]

It's a good challenge, you know, if I'm.

[Miles]

It's actually a great challenge. Like, all right, I'm just gonna, like, test these out, and then you just go walk around the entire store. Go on the. If you're at Shields, just go on the Ferris wheel.

[Tyler]

I just wanted to see how they. Elevation.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I got. I. Yeah, if I'm going to be walking elevation, I got to go up and down the stairs a little bit, you know, I want to see how they hang up in the. I don't know, the bat, the arcade basketball game over there. What kind of hops do I got with these things on? Want the Danners or Crispies, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah. I just. There's also something slightly embarrassing about having a very specific food order at a restaurant, too.

[Tyler]

Being a diva about your order.

[Miles]

But it's like, you know, like. But I like it that way, you know? But it's like, as soon as you start. Like, I do this in breakfast foods a lot. I get lots of sides, you know? Like, I want an English muffin with a specific type of jelly, but I also want a side of hash browns with some cheese. You know, like, just all those things. By the end, you're just like, this is embarrassing.

[Tyler]

Now my grandma's got this weird allergy. Or, like, if she has any sort of spice, her, like, throat swells up. So when we go out to eat, she has to be like, yeah, like a plain hamburger. Like, no spice whatsoever. And so it's like I get secondhand embarrassment for her. Just like, that's such a specific order. But she has to do it or her throat will swell up.

[Miles]

That's really weird. Like, pepper. She can't have pepper.

[Tyler]

No pepper. She can have light salt, but too much salt, and then she reacts.

[Miles]

Do we have a medical? Yeah, I gotta start over the year, Grandma. Now it's a whole.

[Tyler]

It's a whole thing. The doctor's like, yeah, you just got to eat like this forever. I'M like, can you get a second opinion, please?

[Miles]

This seems weird and strange. I've never heard of anyone having a pepper allergy.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's all spices.

[Miles]

Yeah. I just.

[Tyler]

So she. She. Her diet is plain scrambled eggs, a plain hamburger, toast, noodles, and butter.

[Miles]

Wow.

[Ryan]

So you. You don't want to get that woman around, like, an everything bagel?

[Miles]

Yeah. Game over.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

My kid eats avocados. We put everything bagel, like, seasoning on it. He shits you. And I put it all away. His mouth started chewing it and then spit it back.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

My kids didn't, so he might have the same thing. Your grandma maybe just disgusted.

[Jared]

Only ordering a beer with a group. Only one to be ordering a beer with a group.

[Miles]

It's slightly embarrassing. You are right.

[Jared]

Damn it.

[Miles]

Especially if it's, like, a group you're not super tight with.

[Jared]

I didn't get the vibes down.

[Miles]

I actually did that. I was on vacation. I was the only one to get a beer at dinner, and I was just like, whatever, dude. Yeah, you're on vacation.

[Tyler]

You make fun of them. Yeah. Like, oh, okay. I didn't know this was a fucking business meeting. Getting compliments. This is just a little bit embarrassing.

[Miles]

It is.

[Tyler]

She's like, oh, you like my hat?

[Miles]

Thanks.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Now I'm gonna be fucking thinking about this hat or you. Every time I wear this hat.

[Miles]

What do you think that. Because I feel like that's a very Midwest thing. Very Midwest to not be able to accept compliments. What do you guys think is the reason for that?

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

Like, I feel like a lot of people, they like receiving compliments, but they also get uncomfortable when they receive.

[Miles]

Yeah. It feels good to get a compliment, but I don't not know how to behave. It's like Ricky Bobby. I don't know what to do with my hands when I receive.

[Tyler]

It's like people doing night. Like, Ryan went through his old. His mom gave him a bunch of his old, and he gave me this really cool Randy Moss jersey, and I was, like, slightly embarrassed. I was super grateful. I love the jersey. Oh, it's just, like, I was just.

[Ryan]

Happy to get it out of.

[Tyler]

What do I do now?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I was just happy to clear it out of my space.

[Tyler]

Do I hug Ryan? What's. What do I do?

[Miles]

Yeah, but it's even just like, I like that shirt. And you're just like, oh, thanks.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but like, the Midwest thing to do when you get just to. On the item.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Oh, I really like your jacket. Yeah, it was. I Got it at a thrift store for $1. It's actually a piece of. But thank you. Yeah.

[Miles]

Ye. This is so weird.

[Jared]

Yeah. Right? I complimented your pants today, and I.

[Miles]

Don'T think he said anything.

[Ryan]

No, I did. I said. I. I think I. I just said thanks. Yeah, it was really quick and it was just odd. Like, they're just gray sweatpants.

[Miles]

Those are green.

[Tyler]

They're green.

[Miles]

Those are green. Right?

[Tyler]

100.

[Miles]

We can all agree that those are green grass.

[Tyler]

Those are green.

[Miles]

Those are full blondie green.

[Ryan]

They're like a shade of green.

[Miles]

They're like, mainly like a sage green.

[Ryan]

But as I'm looking at your boots now too, though, they're. It's very similar color.

[Tyler]

Yeah, they're green.

[Ryan]

It's like a light sage, but I got like grass stains.

[Miles]

Kind of a dress situation.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, yeah, they're. They're nice. Sweatpants are Lululemon, if you were wondering.

[Tyler]

Wow.

[Ryan]

I got for free, though. That's the thing.

[Tyler]

Yeah, they're. They're pieces of. I got them as a gift.

[Ryan]

I did get them as a gift. Yeah. And I wear them to molan and usually in the spring, late fall.

[Miles]

Yeah, those things are green, dude.

[Ryan]

See, I've. I've tried to wear green shirts with these pants. It just doesn't work out. I just always thought they're gray, though. But you're probably right.

[Miles]

You're.

[Ryan]

You guys are right.

[Jared]

So we know people comment which color it is.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's a dress situation.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah, it is. I was in Costa Rica for my honeymoon five, six years ago, and we were walking, like, to the main resort place, walk by one of the maids, and like, I took two years of Spanish in high school, one year in college, and I walked by, said, buenos noches. And it was like 8:00am So I pretty much said, like, good evening at 8:00am tough. And you.

[Tyler]

You clearly haven't forgot it.

[Miles]

Yeah, that is a wild pulse.

[Ryan]

Oh, dude.

[Miles]

I still.

[Ryan]

I still haven't forgot it because my wife started laughing at me and then the maid started laughing at me. So from then on out, I couldn't even attempt to speak Spanish to her because I would see her, like, every morning. She's like, the same route every time.

[Miles]

What you should have done to save yourself is gotten, like, elaborate sentence memorized and then whip that out and should have been like, oh, that was clearly just a flub by him. He's a real Spanish.

[Tyler]

Or he was being silly because he stayed up all night.

[Ryan]

I know I was being one of those silly Americans. Just to throw you off a little.

[Miles]

It's one of those American Goofballs. Great band name.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.

[Miles]

Why is there not an American Goofballs band?

[Tyler]

They open for All American Rejects.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. Who opens for the Goo Goo Dolls.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

Why are they open for the Goo Goo Dolls? Goofballs, yeah. Oh, Goof Goof Dolls. That's actually a great name for Goo Goo Dolls cover bands. Goof Goof Dolls.

[Ryan]

Doo doo balls. Last one. And I didn't want to pile this one on the other talk, but so I saved it for the end. When I'm in a public stall and somebody knocks on the door or, like, tries to open the door, not knowing if it's locked or not, it's embarrassing. Oh, my God, dude.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I, I.

[Ryan]

What do you, like. What are you supposed to say?

[Tyler]

Yeah, here, occupied.

[Ryan]

I'm not. And I'm not saying occupy is like saying present in class.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

When they, When. When we do.

[Tyler]

There's no good thing.

[Ryan]

Dumb to say.

[Miles]

I mean, it's. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I feel like. Because it is uncomfortable, but I feel like it's more embarrassing to try and open a door that someone's in and they say someone's in there for. Have you ever done that? Like, try to go to a stall and someone's in there? I feel that's more embarrassing for you for, like, trying to invade their shit.

[Tyler]

See, I was right. I'm more embarrassed being on the shitter. I just think I. Maybe I'm just super. I don't. Like, I've told you this before, I hate public toilets.

[Ryan]

Well, I'm. I'm with you.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Because, like, you can see feet under there.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So before I'm going and trying to go into a stall that's closed, I'm looking for feet. I don't know about you guys.

[Jared]

You're going proud.

[Miles]

I'm getting on my belly. I'm going. I'm going, chris, Kyle on that bathroom, gilly suit and all. I'm getting on the ground. I'm checking the wind. I'm. I'm doing different clicks on my scope.

[Jared]

And then I can go.

[Miles]

And then I'm gonna attempt to go in, you know, and then if I do that and the person's with their feet, like, up, then that's on them, you know, if they got their feet.

[Ryan]

Kicked up on, like, the. The. What do they call it for kids? The thing that you lay down.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Like the changing table.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

If they got there, if they're relaxing and they got their feet up there, then that's on them.

[Jared]

They got you.

[Miles]

What? Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, odds are when someone was trying to like, tries to open the door, I'm probably 15 minutes past being done. I'm just hanging out at that point. Just catching a breather.

[Jared]

Scrolling tick tock.

[Ryan]

But then you got to stay in there for a little bit longer to like, not make it weird. Like come out right after that.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Because you want to see them. You want to give them time to do their and leave. Yeah, I don't want to run into them when I'm done.

[Ryan]

When I'm in a public bathroom and if someone else is dropping bombs next to me, I cannot, like, I cannot hold back my laughter.

[Jared]

That's like pewq for you.

[Miles]

That is. That is.

[Tyler]

See, and that's my worst nightmare. Somebody next to me giggling while I. Is my worst nightmare.

[Ryan]

Well, that's why you just like, like, like it's like a pinch and pop method. You kind of like just, just open, like slowly let it come out so it doesn't. The bomb does not drop right away. Because, dude, I get a kick out of that. You guys probably don't.

[Miles]

Yeah, I mean, I guess like my, my personal hell would be that I sit down at a public toilet and it's really loud and. And some guy goes, you okay in there?

[Jared]

That would be Jesus.

[Miles]

That would be peak hell for me.

[Tyler]

Christ, brother. Can we get a courtesy flush?

[Miles]

Yeah, that would be. That would suck bad.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yep. Now follow that one up. When something like that does happen, I do go out and see my family and I go, some guy was in the fight of his life. I love doing that.

[Jared]

You have toilet paper on your shoe.

[Miles]

It's also slightly embarrassing just after you wash your hands in the bathroom and then you see someone, you know, and you shake them and it's still a little. Damn. Then you have to. Then you have to explain that you. It's not pissed, it's. You just washed your hands. Like, like the other person was assuming you pissed on your hands and just walked out of the bathroom without doing anything about it, you know? But for whatever reason, you got to make that joke.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think, I think it's. It makes it okay if you do. If you just do a quick, like, swipe, swipe. Even though that doesn't really dry your hands off. It makes you look like you've made an effort before.

[Miles]

You shake someone's hand. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Or you get to like splash back from the sink and you just get a little dribble on the Front of your pants.

[Miles]

That's the sink.

[Tyler]

Like, I swear I didn't piss myself. Like, I wasn't looking at your dick. Thanks for telling me.

[Ryan]

They used to embarrass me a lot in high school, but now it doesn't. If I were to pissed on my pants, I just wouldn't even care now. Like, if I were to dribble on my pants now and, like, walk out into a store or something, I just wouldn't even care.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

It's very boomer of you.

[Ryan]

I mean, I've just. I think I've evolved as a person. Just. I don't care as much.

[Miles]

Tyler, on the other hand. I know.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Tyler have to, like, hit the emergency exit. So the siren.

[Miles]

You have to do a diversion from his dribble on his pants.

[Tyler]

I pull the fire alarm.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tyler]

I pissed myself a little when the building was burning down.

[Miles]

Divers diversional dribble. Great band name. DD Divert. The Dribble is actually a better band name.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it sounds like a. Yeah. Like a basketball drill or something.

[Miles]

Speed Bas. Well, something that's embarrassing is just airballing. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Even now, airballing. Or are putting one in the corner of the. Like, the backboard and the rim.

[Miles]

It's sticking. Stuck.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Or it just, like, just. It doesn't even bounce off.

[Miles]

It just falls straight and then it just rolls down. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Brick city. I've been there many. Usually the first shot of, like, a little sesh that I'm in.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's just Brick city.

[Jared]

You break a shot, it goes way on the other side of the gym.

[Miles]

You have to go get it.

[Jared]

That sucks. God, I hate that. It's like, I don't even want to shoot hoops anymore.

[Ryan]

No, I'm just. Yeah.

[Miles]

You get too many bricks, and you have to chase a ball too many times in a row. It is like. It's like a. What am I doing this for?

[Tyler]

There's somebody else shooting on the other half of the court, and you just gotta keep going into their space at that point.

[Ryan]

You just gotta. You gotta go hit a layup real quick. I think, just to get it back.

[Miles]

I think what's also equally as embarrassing is that you brick a shot bigly and it goes flying somewhere else, and someone's being really nice to you and runs way out of their way to go get your ball.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And you just have to stand there awkwardly even though they ran further than you would have had to run to get it. That's also embarrassing.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Or if they're. If they're like public basketballs. Like, they'll throw, they'll throw you their ball and then they'll run and get yours and they'll just keep using yours. But you just made them do a 20 minute cardio session out the hallway, down the hall.

[Jared]

Hit the trophy case.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's got to hit a quick layup just to get it back on, back on track.

[Tyler]

This is very specific, but like chasing something that's rolling around on the ground, always embarrassing. I was at a birthday party this weekend at the children's museum. There's a little marble track thing and my kid dropped the marbles and I was running around like a, trying to chase these marbles all over the floor. Felt like such an idiot.

[Miles]

Yeah, I will, I will do everything I can to not have to bend over until I know it's secure.

[Ryan]

Yep, yep.

[Miles]

I'm stopping with my foot, I'm stepping on it, then I'm bending.

[Jared]

Then you bend over your ass crack show.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Cheerio top.

[Miles]

I think something that's, that's a little embarrassing is when like you say something like it could be to anyone, but you say something that's like clearly a little uncomfortable for you to say. Like in terms of like, you know, you're trying to open up to this person and they just don't care. Just, it's just a little embarrassing and you're just like, oh yeah, I'll go, I'll go kill myself.

[Ryan]

It's like Jared's mom or something. You're like, wow. I, I, there's no hope left.

[Miles]

No, dude, Jared's mom would care. Come on, she's paid to care. Yeah, yeah, I'm paying her to.

[Ryan]

I'm kidding.

[Jared]

Yeah. 300 bucks an hour.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Miles]

That's what she costs? Holy.

[Tyler]

Does she have 15 minute sessions?

[Ryan]

D doesn't know. It's, it's confidential.

[Jared]

Don't know much.

[Ryan]

Hippa.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

I think another thing is like pulling up somewhere and people are outside and your, your brakes on your truck are a little squeaky.

[Tyler]

Oh my God, that's me right now. My, the brakes on the traverse are so squeaky. On school drop offs in the morning, I try to coast into the drop.

[Miles]

Off spot because there's just like use the curb to stop.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Not.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Snowbank now is fully in play.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's just like, I don't want to be the guy screeching into school drop off the school cops right there. He's like, he's not, I'm not doing anything wrong, but I just don't, I don't need my break.

[Miles]

Screaming, is he gonna write your ticket for having squeaky?

[Tyler]

Maybe.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's why it took me two days to shoot a dough, is because every spot I'd roll up to, they were gone by the time I even got out the truck. I don't know. Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah, I gotta get those fixed. I think a minor thing that's embarrassing for being a parent is when your kid has a specific trick. Trick that he likes to do.

[Tyler]

Oh, my God.

[Miles]

And then you ask him to do a trick to. For other people, and then he won't do it. And then you have to do, like, oh, what he does. And then you have to, like, explain to them what he does. It's just a little embarrassing.

[Tyler]

That's the worst, dude. I hate that.

[Miles]

Yeah. Like, my kids recently started doing the show your muscles, and he goes. And then he doesn't do it in front of other people. So I have to be like, oh, yeah, he does. He like goes like this. And it's like, really funny.

[Ryan]

Yeah. He has got a pump in you this morning.

[Miles]

He normally does it the worst.

[Ryan]

Send you a video.

[Miles]

But then also, like, to. To defend him. He's not a circus monkey.

[Tyler]

Yeah. He doesn't have to dance if you say dance.

[Miles]

And I need to stop doing that. I think actually we have the.

[Tyler]

We're going through the. What does the cow say? What does the chicken say? And he nails it with me, and then he does it in front of someone else. Like, I promise he's not an idiot. He knows the cow says moo, and he does it.

[Miles]

I swear, my kid went. You ask any animal, he just goes.

[Tyler]

Hey, all animals grunt. So he's not wrong.

[Miles]

I know, but when everyone learned the grunting thing, I don't know.

[Tyler]

Probably you getting out of the chair.

[Ryan]

Yeah, probably you getting out of the chair.

[Jared]

Probably you get out of the chair.

[Miles]

You guys got anything else? That's a little embarrassing thing?

[Ryan]

I don't know. I mean, I do, but, like, when you're just trying to, like, I just.

[Miles]

Feel like I could do this all day. There's so why is there so many.

[Tyler]

Embarrassing things when you're putting in a big order at the drive thru and they keep asking you, is that all? And it's not all.

[Miles]

That sucks.

[Ryan]

And then I hear you probably just talking to the person in the back seat. Like, what? Like what? What size did you want? You want fries or onion? Yeah, it's a disaster.

[Tyler]

And is that all? No, sorry. We'll get two more McChickens. All right. Is that all? No. We'll need a couple Happy Meals as well. Okay.

[Miles]

But at some point, the amount of times to say, is that all? I kind of wanted to be like, I'll tell you when I'm. When that's all.

[Jared]

You spit in your food.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

I know. It's like. It's a. It's a lose, lose situation.

[Ryan]

Something embarrassing for me. I don't know why this always happens, but when I tend to try and like walk nonchalantly somewhere, my toe always catches the ground. Or like my heel catches too early and then I like kind of flat foot. Like slide my foot forward for that. It's.

[Tyler]

Walk much?

[Ryan]

I don't know. And it's.

[Miles]

That is the worst.

[Tyler]

Like.

[Miles]

Like things you don't ever think about. As soon as you start thinking about that, it just is so embarrassing.

[Ryan]

Okay, just be nonchalant. Just like, walk cool. Just be cool. You're just not cool.

[Miles]

You know, it's like. It's like you're like going like in high school or like middle school. You'd have to go on stage for something. Yeah. And you're just thinking about how you're walking on the stage big time.

[Tyler]

One of my best friends growing up. Senior year, the kids have to. You get announced one by one in front of the whole school. He gets announced and does his walk across the stage, does this stanky leg in front of the school and tears his acl.

[Miles]

Oh, my God.

[Tyler]

He dropped like a sack of shit in the middle of the stage for the whole school.

[Ryan]

That fucker had have been hanging on by a throat.

[Tyler]

It had to have been. It was so funny.

[Jared]

It's brutal.

[Miles]

That's terrible, Tyler.

[Tyler]

It is hilarious.

[Ryan]

Like, even walking up to the batter's box, like, you got to be nonchalant, you know, you got to be. You got to act like you're just better than anyone else out there or the pitching mode. And that's when you just. You take a toll full of agriline and wipe. You just wipe out halfway to home plate.

[Miles]

And that's why Eddie Gridado is one of the legends. He knew that that was going on. He still was able to go to second base, adjust his nut cup and then go to the thing.

[Jared]

Can't confirm, though.

[Ryan]

Unconfirmed.

[Miles]

I'm gonna start. I will, will. I will confirm that. There's a few things I gotta get done. I can. I gotta find video evidence of Eddie Guardado. Is it?

[Ryan]

Or Gordado or Eddie Gordado.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I'm saying that Crunch.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Get video evidence of Eddie. Eddie Gordita Crunch. Adjusting his nut cup on second base when he goes out to the mountain. That's number one. Number two is I got to solve that Rubik's Cube.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you do.

[Miles]

Oh, my God. God.

[Ryan]

We got 31, 30 days.

[Miles]

Does anyone else have New Year's resolutions they haven't got done?

[Tyler]

I don't remember what mine were. Oh, I think I have to learn my light switches at my house. I'm close, but I'm not there.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Jared]

I have to go to a convention.

[Miles]

Oh, that one really sucks.

[Ryan]

Let's head over to the holiday.

[Miles]

Yeah, I mean, there's got to be a convention between now and the end.

[Jared]

Of the year, and I can't do anything.

[Ryan]

I think my. I actually. My wife. I think she. She has one tonight and then tomorrow. So you could go to date.

[Miles]

You could be your plus one.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it might just be like. I don't know if it's networking or what it is, but I could see if I could get you in.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Jared]

They have catering.

[Ryan]

I think they'll probably have food there.

[Miles]

All right.

[Jared]

I might be in.

[Ryan]

Yeah, actually.

[Miles]

But at this point, you can't be. You can't be beggars, can't be happy. Yeah, you just need to get to a convention. You can't be pit. You can't be, you know, cherry picking the ones with catering.

[Jared]

Yeah, but I envisioned, like, going to Vegas or San Diego for, like, three, four nights and eating catering every day.

[Ryan]

Okay, well, then you're just on vacation. You're not there.

[Miles]

Yeah, I see what you did there. I'm not paying for that.

[Ryan]

It was business.

[Jared]

I tried. I tried, Ryan. I forget yours.

[Ryan]

Well, 75 hard was one of them. Rock hard. And that's done. That was done March 18th. This last year.

[Jared]

Yeah, we'll revisit it later.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. It's a little preview. Just. I just thought of it, and we need to buy a Rubik's Cube.

[Jared]

That's number two.

[Tyler]

Magic Con in April is the next convention in Fargo.

[Ryan]

But it's. That's too late.

[Miles]

Yeah, well, you could do, like, taxes. You can file an extension. Okay, good.

[Ryan]

File.

[Miles]

Yeah, because as long as you file extension before, like. Like, I think the end of this week is the cutoff. As long as you file extension before then, you're good. It's like, oh, you were clearly planning to do it. This is three weeks before the end of the year. Year. You file the extension, we'll accept that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I think.

[Ryan]

And Magicon's every other year, too, so.

[Tyler]

And the members of the board, I think, would definitely approve the extension if you prove that you bought tickets for said convention.

[Jared]

Can the members of the board file an extension? Because I think I know what Miles is trying to do.

[Tyler]

I don't.

[Miles]

Oh, no, I don't plan on filing extension. I plan on being a man of my word. Gotcha, Jared.

[Jared]

So, yeah, you're not a little. Yeah.

[Miles]

Myself. My. Myself through life.

[Tyler]

Maybe the little foot conventions coming up soon.

[Jared]

Yeah, you're the head speaker.

[Ryan]

That's not a bad. Not a. Not a bad band name, but not great.

[Miles]

Little foot convention.

[Jared]

Yeah, I would out and be really slow to get there.

[Ryan]

It would just go to the holiday injured. Every morning, 9am Just. There's gonna be one.

[Tyler]

Go to the convention for time blindness. No one shows up. They all missed it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we'll get. We'll get you one.

[Miles]

We'll get you one. All right. Should we take a break?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yep. You got a fun little game for us, huh?

[Jared]

Yeah. So I'm gonna give you five different fake people, and you have to decide on it for a construction site, and you have to decide what their nickname should be.

[Miles]

Okay, so you're gonna give us five profiles.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

Five profiles of construction workers, and we have to decide what their nickname is going to be.

[Jared]

Correct.

[Miles]

Yeah, I like that.

[Jared]

First one is Robert Davis, age 50. He's been working construction since he was a teenager. He always quotes wedding crashers, and he's always in the skid steer. He divorced eight years ago, has two kids. His hobbies are nascar, playing poker with his buddies on Thursday nights, and he swears he has the best barbecue sauce recipe. His name is Robert Davis.

[Miles]

Okay, Rob, read it one more time. Time.

[Jared]

Been working construction since he was a teenager. He always quotes wedding crashers, always in the skid steer. Divorced eight years ago, two kids. His hobbies are nascar, playing poker with his buddies on Thursday nights, and he swears he has the best barbecue sauce recipe.

[Miles]

You can't go with the barbecue sauce. You can't nickname off barbecue sauce because he wants to be nicknamed after the barbecue sauce, you know, so that's immediately ruled out.

[Ryan]

Out.

[Tyler]

So then we should call mayonnaise, because he wants barbecue really bad.

[Miles]

He wants barbecue sauce. Mayonnaise is a good one.

[Jared]

Mayo for short.

[Miles]

Mayo. Mayo also, because he's probably gonna need to go to the Mayo Clinic soon. He's so old. It's another good one.

[Ryan]

Patriots fan. Draw man.

[Miles]

Mayo.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

He is a Patriot fan.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It started as mayonnaise, then it went to Mayo, and now we Call him Gerard.

[Ryan]

Gerard. Yeah.

[Tyler]

So now he's Gerard.

[Jared]

Gerard Robert Gerard Davis.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Okay, Next one. Ethan Thompson. He's age 19, going to college for business. Has cauliflower ear, is 5, 7. Every day at lunch, he orders the spiciest foods. Dry scoops pre workout, three times a day. Mentions frequently that he would love to be paid in Bitcoin. And he loves going to the gym and watching UFC.

[Miles]

He's 5 7, so something maybe like Munchkin, you know, Mini Me.

[Tyler]

Or you call him Bubba. You got to give him a big guy name if he's little.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. He could be. Yeah. Tank. Called Tank.

[Tyler]

Tank. He would like that, though. He like it too much.

[Miles]

Yeah. So that's why I think you got to go with how small he is. Because he wants to be big. Because he lifts weights.

[Ryan]

Tuli Ratatouille. Guy kind of sounds like a tool.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

Ratatouille.

[Jared]

For short.

[Miles]

He's stretch. But wait, we'll throw it on the table.

[Ryan]

Okay. On the table, table.

[Miles]

Read his profile one more time.

[Jared]

Going to college for business. Has cauliflower years, 5, 7. Every day at lunch, he orders the spiciest food. Dry scoops pre workout, three times a day. Mentions frequently that he would love to be paid in bitcoin. Loves going to the gym and watching ufc.

[Tyler]

I think. I think if we lean into the short thing, we just call him Dinklage.

[Miles]

Yeah. Peter Dinklage.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And then we just get changed to Pete or Dink.

[Miles]

Yeah, Dink. What's his name in Game of Thrones? I gotta remember.

[Ryan]

Ethan.

[Tyler]

Tyrion.

[Miles]

Tyrion. Tyrion Lannister. The gimp.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Sounds like he may have for brains. I don't think that involves.

[Miles]

Yeah, we call him Dink for Peter Dinklage.

[Tyler]

I like that.

[Miles]

So we have Dink and Gerard.

[Tyler]

Dink.

[Jared]

Gerard.

[Miles]

Robert and Ethan are Dink and Gerard. I like this. I mean, Peter Diglage is also Miles Finch, so you can call him Finch.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Anyways, Finch is also a great nickname.

[Jared]

Alex Anderson, age 33. A foreman at the company. First one there, last one out is always wearing sunglasses and an old Chicago Bears hat. He wears it because it fits well, not because he likes the Bears. Loves fishing year round, loves going to the bar and peer pressuring people into Rumpelman shots.

[Miles]

I think Dick.

[Ryan]

That's exactly what I was gonna say.

[Miles]

He's Dick. He doesn't even like the bearsink and.

[Ryan]

Two football names.

[Jared]

And then Colton Jennings is this number four. This is four. Colton Jennings, age 22, boss's kid shows up Late. Has a tribal sleeve tattoo, always on his phone. Loves calling things bogus. Played lacrosse in college but tore his ankle. He uses his ankle as an excuse to get off doing extra work. Hobbies, being a dj, mixing songs. He plays his songs in the company truck.

[Miles]

Darren Sharper. His name's Darren Sharper. What's his first name? Cole Colton. Colton Jennings. Yeah. Greg Jennings. The comes across the hardest hitting safety in the league. Greg Jennings broke his leg.

[Tyler]

The dude broke his leg.

[Miles]

And then Darren Sharper comes out of nowhere.

[Ryan]

Is Darren Trevor in prison?

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, did this guy go to prison? Because that would be great.

[Jared]

Unclear.

[Ryan]

He probably. He probably would be in prison if it wasn't for his dad.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I feel like we have to have. His nickname's got to be behind his back. Back. Because he seems like the guy to.

[Miles]

Tattle the dad on us as the boss's kid. I just got so distracted by Jennings, and that's how I knew that's the right one. I didn't listen to anything else he said. Say it again. I'll listen this time.

[Jared]

Boss's kid shows up late. Has a tribal sleeve tattoo, always on his phone. Loves calling things bogus. Played lacrosse in college but tore his ankle. He uses his ankle as an excuse to get out. Doing extra work. Hobby is being a dj, mixing songs. He plays his songs in the company truck.

[Tyler]

I think I got one. I think it starts as Princess and then it goes to Princess Peach and then eventually just turns into Peaches.

[Jared]

I don't mind that.

[Miles]

I don't either.

[Ryan]

It's feminine.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Because he whines about his ankle. He's the boss's kid, so he's royalty. I think we end up Peaches.

[Miles]

So we have Peaches, Ditka, Ditka, Dink, and Gerard.

[Ryan]

That's a great crew shaping up here.

[Miles]

I think the one thing that if we. We should do this again. And you should have, like, notable things that they've done at the job site, you know, like. Because most nicknames I feel like happen where. Like he once took a 45 minute in a porta potty when it was a hundred degrees. Gotcha. You know what I mean? So we call him Sauna. You know, SS for short. The SS John is what his nickname ends up being, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Than just John and then Ed. Don't know his last name. Age around 50. Just got out of prison. Don't know what he went to prison for. Keeps to himself. His entire wardrobe is three different shirts. Doesn't have a lot of teeth. He always Brings up that one time he went to Vegas and won 1500 bucks. He loves collecting Coca Cola bottles and Coca Cola merchandise.

[Miles]

Scofield, Dahmer. Yeah, Fucking went to prison. Michael Schofield. Maybe even. Maybe even Lincoln Burroughs. Yeah. I don't know. What do you guys think?

[Tyler]

I really want to lean into the no teeth Gumby.

[Jared]

Gumby's good.

[Miles]

Dentures.

[Tyler]

Do you call him Gumby because he's flexible? No, he has no teeth. All gums.

[Miles]

Whistler. Imagine when he says his S's, there's a little bit of a whistle, you know. Gotta start imagining what these people are like, you know? So how's it going? You know? So what did we decide it was.

[Jared]

So we got Gerard, Dink, Ditka, Peaches, and Schofield.

[Miles]

And what are the real names?

[Jared]

First one was Robert. Then Robert. So it's Robert, Gerard Thompson, Ethan Dink Thompson, Alex, Ditka, Anderson, Colton, Peaches, Jennings, and then Ed Schofield.

[Ryan]

We don't. Yeah, it's Goldfield.

[Tyler]

Where did you come up with these bios? These are well written.

[Jared]

I just came up with them.

[Tyler]

Hell, yeah.

[Miles]

Those are nice.

[Jared]

Oh, then we have Jose, age 31, hardest worker on the squad. Everybody likes him. Always orders soda with no ice. Gets frazzled when Andy Carr pulls up to the job site.

[Tyler]

I think he just gets to keep his name. I think he's Jose or Hose B. That's the second guy that comes in. This is brother Jose and Hose B.

[Ryan]

Call him Guac.

[Tyler]

Guac.

[Miles]

Guac Or Cerveza.

[Jared]

[Ryan]

Yeah, Jose's good.

[Miles]

Good.

[Ryan]

I like Jose.

[Miles]

Okay, let's call him Ice.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Vanilla.

[Miles]

The Iceman. Yeah, Vanilla Ice. Val Kilmer. Iceman.

[Ryan]

He gets nervous in cars.

[Miles]

His name's Val. Now, that's what it's all about, is just word association.

[Jared]

Yeah, we got a patron question.

[Miles]

Let's call him Top Gun. Yeah, call him. Yeah, call him Top Gun. Why? Because of Iceman. And it's Iceman because of Ice. Because he's Mexican.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's here illegally, but we love him.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Great worker.

[Jared]

Love that fella.

[Tyler]

Wouldn't get a project done all year without him.

[Jared]

Bill Rye, the sandwich guy. Would you rather work with your wife or work with your siblings?

[Miles]

My siblings for sure.

[Tyler]

Is it both all siblings or can I pick one?

[Ryan]

One family business.

[Miles]

Just. Just answer the question.

[Tyler]

Wife.

[Miles]

Really?

[Tyler]

I could. Well, I could not have a business. My younger sister.

[Miles]

Well, I mean, I. I've already proven this. I. I worked a little bit with an 1 in both settings where I was the boss and she was the boss. So I used to help her shoot wedding videos before I started you betcha all that. That was a little bit better. But as soon as she started helping me shoot you betcha videos was it's bad for the relationship.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

She just didn't take it seriously. She didn't care.

[Ryan]

There would be times she'd be, she'd be recording and then she just wouldn't even be, look, she'd just be, she.

[Miles]

Wouldn'T be looking at the camera talking to me or something and then like her hand would slowly start to fall down. So I just cut off the top of my head.

[Tyler]

The first thing I ever edited was a vlog that she shot in la. And half the footage you was just like Ann, hold the camera up and.

[Miles]

Yeah. And can you shoot this? Because is shooting a vlog. She would start joining in on the conversation instead of recording the conversation.

[Tyler]

I remember that it happened so much. It ended up being a bit in the vlog.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's. I just, I love my wife, but it's just best if we don't work together.

[Ryan]

You can't where you eat.

[Miles]

It's true. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Now Tyler, what if your dad was involved? Then would you go even harder out?

[Miles]

What would be, what would have to be the scenario where you work with your dad? I mean would it be better now to work underneath your dad or as a peer with your dad?

[Tyler]

Underneath. I, I, I did. I lived that for 18 years.

[Miles]

You know how to navigate that.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I would rather work for him than work with him, if that makes sense.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

Like you're not fighting over decisions then.

[Tyler]

Yeah. 100%. 100%.

[Miles]

What would be scenario where you have to work with your dad as a peer? What would have to be the.

[Tyler]

I mean I do, I help him with his social media right now and, but I'm not really a peer. That's not a peer in charge.

[Miles]

Yeah, he doesn't, Yeah.

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Miles]

Dollar amount.

[Ryan]

Yes. Yep.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Ryan]

Like what is the dollar amount?

[Tyler]

Like a yearly salary or like, like project based.

[Ryan]

Just answer a question.

[Tyler]

100 grand for 100 grand a year. If it was like a, a yearly thing I would do, I would do that. Not like, not just that though. I would have to do something else.

[Miles]

So this is a side gig for 100 grand a year?

[Tyler]

Yeah. It, it would have to be a part time gig.

[Miles]

How much for a full time gig? Just answer the question.

[Tyler]

Half a million dollars. Half a million dollars.

[Jared]

That's a lot of bones.

[Miles]

That's A lot.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You really don't want to work with your dad?

[Tyler]

I just. We.

[Ryan]

Well, because you'd want to fly the drone and then he all.

[Tyler]

He would also. You get upset that I'm better at flying the drone than him.

[Ryan]

You'd forget to charge the drone overnight. Bring us a job and then.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

So much talking.

[Ryan]

Oh yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It. I guess it also really depend on what the field was. Was because like we are just both good at very different things.

[Miles]

What are you good at, Tyler?

[Tyler]

Well, I'm good at the Internet. He's having kids.

[Miles]

Having kids. He's also good at having.

[Tyler]

We're exactly equal at talent level at having kids.

[Miles]

There you go.

[Tyler]

Both had three.

[Ryan]

Yep. And are you gonna stay tied with him or is it. Do you kind of like.

[Tyler]

I don't want to. It's not a win lose situation.

[Ryan]

I don't know if you slightly want to just have more kids just to say you. You.

[Tyler]

I'm way better at raising them.

[Miles]

Well, let's. Hold on.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

They still can't even really think for themselves. So let's.

[Tyler]

The oldest one can.

[Miles]

Yeah. Easy to say that you're a good parent when they can't tell anyone how bad of a parent you are. Yeah.

[Tyler]

He'll get there.

[Ryan]

Half a mil.

[Tyler]

I mean half a mil for a full time gig.

[Ryan]

And that's not like out of this world.

[Tyler]

No.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Garlic bread. Gary, do you turn your head to eat the taco or do you turn the taco?

[Tyler]

I. I've seen this question on the Internet.

[Ryan]

I turned my hat, just had tacos yesterday.

[Miles]

I do not go like this. That's crazy.

[Ryan]

I. I'm a 50.

[Miles]

Everything's gonna spill out. The top.

[Tyler]

It's. It's half and half the taco gets a little tilt and so does my head.

[Ryan]

Yeah. 50. 50. What about you, J?

[Tyler]

Both are.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, probably a little bit, but I'm definitely moving the head more than I'm moving the taco.

[Jared]

All the flies out of the back of the taco. That drives me nuts.

[Miles]

It's just. Why can't we figure out how to make tacos less messy?

[Jared]

Or I should learn how to fold a taco properly too.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you gotta. The pinky and thumb have to pinch the back.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So everything stays put.

[Jared]

Taco holder.

[Miles]

Really?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

Absolutely.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I've never done that.

[Ryan]

It depends on how big they are too. Sometimes it's ring finger and thumb. Pinch the back. I just had tacos yesterday. That's fresh.

[Tyler]

And then you claw the rest of the Tacos like pinch and then claw or what.

[Miles]

This is like, I kind of like.

[Ryan]

I just like, I like kind of just like run it all the way up the seam down the seat. Like down the seam, whatever you call it.

[Tyler]

So you just like you're just clawing it like this. But the thumb is going on the paint.

[Ryan]

No, actually maybe I wrap my pinky. Maybe I wrap the pinky and then.

[Tyler]

I gotta see Ryan eat a taco.

[Ryan]

Because I, I, I, I pin like the top comes together and then I fold it over, pinch the back so it's kind of like a.

[Miles]

See, I just fold it. I, I shove some in there. Then I fold it as tight as I can and then just keep holding it tight and hopefully it doesn't come out the back.

[Tyler]

Jared, you could clip this hole out of these. Doing that with the fingers.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

So I like to.

[Miles]

And then sometimes, yeah, I have to put two in the pink and one in the stink.

[Jared]

That's fair.

[Miles]

I plug up the back with my pinky. Then I pinch it with my two front and then it goes into my.

[Tyler]

Mouth and you gott pinch it. Otherwise you'll get cheese everywhere.

[Ryan]

If I can, if I can sense something falling out the back, I'll take a bite of the back.

[Miles]

I will.

[Ryan]

Before I like fully get to the back.

[Tyler]

Too many people are ignoring the back before it's too late.

[Miles]

It's true.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Call it the back attack.

[Jared]

Jack. Shotgun. When's the last time you snapped? Slash crashed out.

[Tyler]

Hanging a deer stand two weeks ago. I fully lost it in a tree because these screw in pegs weren't going into the tree like they were supposed to be.

[Miles]

That'll happen.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Full crash out. I, I had when we were on that meeting. I kind of lost my mind that one day.

[Jared]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

That was probably the last time.

[Jared]

That was pretty minor though.

[Miles]

It wasn't too bad. It was just more of like a me just ranting sarcastically.

[Jared]

Yeah, wasn't too bad.

[Miles]

Like it's been a while, you know. Old Miles, you know, would have crashed out this morning when I went to go park in the garage and there was something in the way. So then I went and parked outside and then I went to go open the door and and there was too much ice build up to where I couldn't get the door open was I had to walk around the building again. Old Miles, what am I. Well, I'm holding a coffee mug that's just like from my house. It like doesn't have a lid on it and I'm trying Not to spill it.

[Tyler]

What am I, all time favorite? Absolutely unnecessary Miles Crash outs is an old employee here bought a medicine ball chair for their desk.

[Miles]

Desk.

[Tyler]

And ma was like, you build a company and somebody's sitting on medicine balls.

[Ryan]

Except for he just. He like, he just bought really nice office chairs for everybody.

[Tyler]

It's just like it affected.

[Ryan]

Nobody said employee was rattled too. Yeah, I think she actually. I think they actually came and talked to me in my office about it. And like, if he was actually.

[Tyler]

He's not upset. He's not really upset.

[Miles]

Dad wouldn't do that anymore. You can sit on whatever you want.

[Tyler]

But I was like, I'm not actually 100% sure if he's upset or not.

[Miles]

But I think it was a little bit. The fact that I. I mean, obviously they had no idea how much money I spent on the chairs for the office. I think that was like part of it. Like, oh, so the chair that I bought to you and have little tiny ass lumbar issues wasn't good enough. So you got to go buy a ball. And then. Yeah, it's just. It wasn't a big deal. I don't know why I was so.

[Tyler]

No. And I, I genuinely couldn't tell if you were actually pissed about it, but I went to the employee. I'm like, he's not mad. Don't he.

[Miles]

I'm gonna be honest. I don't even know if. I don't even know if I was actually mad about it or not.

[Ryan]

No, I don't think. I think you were like 25 mad, 75 being sarcastic.

[Tyler]

But you did do the whole full crash out rant. He like that you've done other podcast. You build a fucking company from the ground up, work your ass up just to have somebody to sit on a medicine ball.

[Ryan]

And the crash out continues as you're walking away too.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

It usually ends with it's going good. I haven't had a it's going good rant in a while.

[Tyler]

Those happen a lot when we travel.

[Miles]

Yeah. There's always something goes wrong. It's going good.

[Tyler]

Like the. The time we were headed to the Ozarks and then we had to turn around and go pick everybody else up from the airport.

[Miles]

All right, it's going good. Something like that.

[Tyler]

No less than 30 times on our one hour trip back.

[Ryan]

Sometimes the guy just needs that. Though.

[Miles]

I actually might crash out on the way home. Not crash, crash out. Just pick something.

[Ryan]

I think last time I crashed out probably a couple months ago, I. It was probably like after like the Third time I told my dog to quit eating deer in the yard. And then the fourth time I just snapped, snapped her back.

[Tyler]

Jesus.

[Miles]

I'm kidding. We got, we figured you were.

[Ryan]

No, I'm kidding. No, but I, I guarantee all my neighbors could have. They heard me. I crashed out in the garage one time, camera. Oh, she rolled in deer this time and just covered in it. And I screamed at the top of my lungs so loud that I'm pretty sure we. You could hear it from the office.

[Jared]

Here, 10 miles away.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Felt bad right away, but at the same time it was fine.

[Miles]

I think the most intriguing one, I, I think it's all very believable that all three of us have crashed out recently. But Jared, when was the last time you crashed out?

[Jared]

I don't know. I was probably like, I was playing the college football game. I threw like four interceptions. Probably slammed my controller.

[Miles]

When you were like eight or like recently.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Jared]

It's so easy to throw picks in that game and you just feel like it duns every time you throw one. Like, why did I throw that across my butt?

[Tyler]

I. I played quarterback on NCAA for four games before I was like this. I'm gonna be a running back.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's very frustrating. Said nothing crazy, just a controller got slammed and.

[Miles]

Would be a great person to ask this question to about me. Probably had some unbelievable, unbelievably, unbelievably unnecessary crash outs in my day.

[Ryan]

I don't think I've ever crashed out in front of my wife, to be honest. I don't know why I'd need to be in private, really. Yeah, I gotta crash on private.

[Tyler]

I definitely crash out more often alone.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

My wife has seen me crash out. I've. I've fixed two washing machines in her house now. She's seen me crash out on a washing machine before.

[Miles]

I had a crash out on my. I on our water heater when our kid was in the NICU. It was like 11pm we didn't have any hot water. And I kids in the NICU, you know, this is like day like 8 of being in the NICU and I'm just, I just finally had it crashed out and fixed.

[Tyler]

The water heater just freak out on the inanimate object. All the negative emotion goes into the metal.

[Ryan]

God, it feels good though.

[Miles]

Oh yeah, it really does. One of my favorite crash outs is like when I was working concrete is just like finding a random stake in the ground and then just taking a sledgehammer and just smashing it all the way into the ground.

[Tyler]

It'll just be there forever.

[Miles]

Correct.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

It is one of my favorites.

[Jared]

Yeah. We should have some stakes and sledgehammers out back.

[Miles]

We ever get upset, that would be great.

[Tyler]

Sounds great.

[Miles]

It's kind of like. It's like a better version of the, like, wreck it room or whatever. The rage room comes because it's like. Yeah, like, clean that up, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

That's the one part about crashing out is like, you're like, have to then be like, sorry, I got, you know, all upset, whatever. But if you go out and just slam a stake in the ground, you don't gotta apologize for. There's nothing to clean up.

[Tyler]

No.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just be like a glorified hammer slogan.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Then you hit a sprinkler line and water.

[Miles]

Yeah. Well, so what you have to do is you have to call 411 or whatever it is. What is it, 71 1?

[Tyler]

I have no idea.

[Miles]

Probably should probably 91 1. Actually have them come out and spray all the underground so you know where you can crash out at.

[Ryan]

I did almost have a crash out yesterday. You guys know those. Those orange. The orange push shovels are called, like, Dakota plows.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yep.

[Miles]

It hits you in the gut.

[Ryan]

It. No, hit me in the ankle. Like the. The inside of, like the. Like the wheel. Like the wheel axle, I guess you could call it. It has like a. I. It's like a square metal detail deal. Hit me in the ankle and I was. I just. There's building up throughout the day, and I almost just huck that thing as far as I could because, like, for.

[Miles]

Me, it's like you're shoveling and you're like pushing real hard, and then it gets stuck on something and it goes right into your gut.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Just will make me lose my mind.

[Jared]

Yeah, you throw like a shot. Put the shovel. You're like spitting around.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. Like the hammer throw. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Throwing feels good. Especially when it breaks, too, because then you don't even care it breaks at.

[Tyler]

That point, it's not your problem anymore if it breaks.

[Miles]

I confidently say I don't think I've thrown very much. And especially I haven't had much break.

[Tyler]

I for sure.

[Miles]

That's crazy. Maybe. Maybe an Xbox controller. That's it.

[Tyler]

I for sure told this story on the podcast before, but there's one time we had a push mower that wouldn't start. My dad was crashing out hard on the push mower, mower, and he grabbed it, did like a 360, like, hammer throw, threw it into the Ditch and then walked over, did walk of shame over to get it out of the ditch, and it fired right up. It was the funniest.

[Miles]

And that goes back right to my philosophy. And sometimes you just have to spaz on.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yep.

[Miles]

I wanted to put in the pallet racking in the thing and, you know.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

People, I can't get it in. I said, get out of my way. I went up there, took a hammer, and just started beating on it. And it finally went in.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Feels good.

[Miles]

I can't get it in. It just, like, won't go in. I guess. I guess we have to just not do it. Get out of my way.

[Tyler]

Build a company from the ground.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we got. Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

We got Tweedledee and Tweedledum up there trying to put the pallet racking up. Do one of these.

[Ryan]

Roll the sleeves up.

[Jared]

Hopping on the forklift or getting that ice house out of the lacks.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. Dude, that was stressful. It's like a normal situation. If I was. If I was like. If it was just. If I was in control, that situation, like, I was by myself, I would have lost my mind. But because I was with you guys, I. I wouldn't have done that.

[Jared]

You're so bad.

[Miles]

And then Jared's just standing there with tennis shoes on, just sopping wet.

[Ryan]

We didn't. We didn't mark a single fish on the Vexar in eight hours.

[Miles]

The worst fishing trip of all time.

[Ryan]

And we got told where to go from, like, a resort. Like, guided resort.

[Miles]

We stayed overnight for that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

You wanted to go home right away, Ryan.

[Miles]

Remember we thought it was gonna be some event, and we show up. Like we were just supposed to shoot. Like, we could have done this video anywhere. We went to, like, drove, like, three hours, just stayed overnight. And like, we thought it was. We were walking into a vet, there'd.

[Ryan]

Be a bunch of people there. It was just. There wasn't.

[Miles]

It was just us and, like, another person that was, like, helping us shoot a video.

[Jared]

Great trip.

[Ryan]

Communication, silence. That's how you don't get.

[Miles]

That was where Ryan got that dice cup. Throughout. Throughout. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yep.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the old dice cup.

[Jared]

Ridiculous. Ridiculous.

[Tyler]

I remember I had Covid during that, and I remember being, like, legitimately bummed I couldn't go on the fishing trip. Yeah.

[Ryan]

You know, I haven't laid eyes on that lake since that time.

[Miles]

That time we.

[Ryan]

We went to a casino. What, last summer or whatever. I looked the other. I was driving. I looked the other way.

[Jared]

That's the Lake. So one fun fact. In military terms, a click means. Means a distance of a thousand meters, one kilometer or 0.62 miles. So if a soldier radios were 10 clicks south of your position, that means they are 10 kilometers away or 6.2 miles away.

[Tyler]

I actually, I'm really glad that you brought that up. I've always wondered how far a click was. How come they use. Obviously you don't know this at the top. How come they use clicks when they talk about like shooting. See sea, like seafaring, like ships and that.

[Ryan]

Don't they talk knots?

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's speed. They do clicks. And they do leagues.

[Miles]

When they're talking about nautical miles.

[Tyler]

I, I just. I've read books where like they're talking. They do.

[Miles]

I think it's just kind of like a military, like very official way to talk about things. Right.

[Jared]

Tango, then.

[Tyler]

What's a league?

[Miles]

The league is a distance down. Right, Right.

[Tyler]

That would make sense.

[Miles]

Like the depth.

[Tyler]

Yeah. If like clicks are flat, left and right, north and south, east and west, league would be down.

[Jared]

Oh, I didn't foresee that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I figured.

[Miles]

Come on, Jared, Google it. That's how we'll end it.

[Jared]

What's a league?

[Miles]

Ryan's gotta go.

[Jared]

What's a league?

[Ryan]

That's gonna be a top.

[Miles]

You got.

[Ryan]

In ship terms and.

[Jared]

Ship terms.

[Miles]

Chip terms. A league is unit length equal to three nautical miles. So it's not deep. Suppose you could go.

[Ryan]

Why can't they just talk miles? Why they got. Why they got to make. Why are they making names up? Is it code?

[Miles]

Okay, it says right there, historical context. See More length of a league could differ sometimes being based on the distance a person could walk in one hour. It's unbelievable.

[Tyler]

I think they gotta update that. No more leagues.

[Miles]

I suppose you're walking 20 minute miles. What? Three miles an hour? Makes sense. Three nautical miles. I mean, I couldn't walk three nautical miles. Not on the water. Jesus. Could though. All right, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode. You bet you. Radio. Have a great week. We'll see you next one. Oh, you betcha. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jared]

If all four of you worked in a pet store together, who would be in charge of what department?

[Miles]

Be honest, I don't know if I've ever been in a pet store. Store?

[Ryan]

Really?

[Miles]

I don't think I've ever been in a pet store.

[Ryan]

You've never been a Petco or anything or like the mall, have you?

[Miles]

I think that Petco falls under the category of a pet store. And I just said that I've Never been in one.

[Ryan]

Have you been to the pet store in the mall?

[Tyler]

You had. Have you lived here your whole life?

[Miles]

Where is the pet store in the mall?

[Tyler]

Right by the Roger Maris Museum.

[Miles]

No, I've never been in there. I've walked by it and looked in the windows.

[Ryan]

I think that counts.

[Miles]

I've never been in a pet store.

[Tyler]

Even in high school. Like, you didn't have a girlfriend. Like, can we go look at the puppies in the mall? Like, when you're at the mall?

[Miles]

No.

[Ryan]

Why?

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Miles]

I think I was dating.

[Tyler]

I'm assuming a teenage girl, and it's a puppies.

[Ryan]

Could have been teacher's boy, though.

[Miles]

You don't know.

[Tyler]

True.

[Miles]

I don't.

[Tyler]

I don't know his past.

[Jared]

It's very common.

[Miles]

Is it?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think we'll probably put you at the.

[Miles]

No, I. I realize that I am in the minority and it is insane that. 32 years old that I probably. I don't think I've ever been pet store before.

[Ryan]

I think.

[Miles]

I think because even when Anne bought that fish, I wasn't with her when she bought the fish.

[Ryan]

She had fish?

[Miles]

Yeah, she bought a fish. She named it Gibby. Died in like four days.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's.

[Jared]

They're hard to take care of.

[Miles]

She bought like 120 worth of equipment. Died in four days, never got another fish.

[Jared]

That's brutal.

[Tyler]

Jasper, refund Christmas present for.

[Jared]

No, wrap it.

[Ryan]

Gibby, you're quick.

[Miles]

Open this, open this, open this.

[Tyler]

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

[Jared]

The wrap is just on the plastic.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's been under the tree for like four days.

[Ryan]

Water's just scorching hot. I think you're probably at the till. You're either at the till or you're clear. You're cleaning.

[Tyler]

You're.

[Ryan]

You're just cleaning.

[Miles]

I'm cleaning.

[Ryan]

Well, I mean, you. I don't think you. Because you.

[Miles]

I'm the fucking manager of the store.

[Jared]

It didn't say you're in charge, Miles.

[Miles]

I know, but I'm saying I'm in charge.

[Tyler]

How come we can't have you be in charge?

[Miles]

My podcast.

[Ryan]

We can't. Yeah. We can't have a guy who's never been. You've never been in charge of a pet.

[Miles]

What you guys don't realize about management, and I'm gonna get you with this one, is it doesn't matter what you're doing. Management is management. It's actually. You don't want the guy who knows nothing about pets working with the pets. That's actually, like, huge disadvantage.

[Tyler]

That's why we're putting you at the till.

[Miles]

Yeah, you know, like, because. All right, let me just. What I would do is I would take all the cats and I'd put them in the fish tanks because I won't be like, wow, it'd be fun for them to swim around. Is that what I should be doing? Doing this is. I mean, should I do that? But is that a good idea?

[Ryan]

Here's what I could see happening.

[Miles]

No, I'm wondering is, do you think.

[Ryan]

That'S not a good idea?

[Miles]

Okay, well, then I. We're gonna have cats in the fish tanks then, because that's what my.

[Ryan]

But you got the tail.

[Miles]

I know, but that's what would have been. My knee jerk reaction would have been to do that, to try and, you know, uplift the spirits of the cats. And you're telling me that's not a good move.

[Ryan]

That's not your job to uplift the spirit. So you're just. You're here to ring people.

[Miles]

People up. All right, I'll take cashier over cleaning.

[Ryan]

Up because I think you in a management position. You'll be like, okay, we need to look where to cut costs. We're going to. We're spending way too much money on food. We got to cut food cost by 50%, and then all of our animals are going to die.

[Miles]

Well, no, they'll just be skinnier. I wouldn't. I wouldn't cut it to the point where they die.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but you don't know how much. How much food.

[Miles]

That would be the name of our pet store. We'd be the Lean Pet Store. And that would be like, Lean Me means. Yeah, yeah, something like that. And then when you buy it, you. You fatten them up. It's actually like a great marketing thing. It's like they're easier to get home because they're lighter.

[Ryan]

They're not as cute, though, in the window if they're just.

[Miles]

But think about it. You make them lean. I didn't say you starve them. I didn't say you kill them. I'm saying you make them leaner. Less food, save money there.

[Jared]

Doug's epic.

[Miles]

Which means that they. Less. Less, which means you have less cleaning to do, which means you can hire less people. And I mean, you tell me, are we running a business or are we running a charity? It's a charity pet store.

[Ryan]

No, I mean, still. We're still making money. We could just keep pumping litters out.

[Miles]

All right, fine. I'll be a cashier. Welcome to Cole. What kind of animal are you Buying today. Let me scan that thing. How do you even buy. Do you scan. How do you.

[Ryan]

I don't know how you scan an FA barcodes on them or what the deal is.

[Tyler]

They're bark codes.

[Ryan]

Barcodes. That's a good one. So I think with Miles at the.

[Miles]

I already hate working at a pet store.

[Ryan]

Well, that's fine. I don't think. I don't think it's a long term play for really any employee at the cashier with pets at the till.

[Miles]

And plus, I'm an adopt not shop type of guy, so this kind of goes against all my core values as a human being. So.

[Tyler]

Have you ever been to a dog shelter? You've never been to a pet store? You've not been to a shelter?

[Ryan]

Yeah. What are we running a business or a charity? Because that's.

[Miles]

Oh, that's what I'm saying. Maybe shelter. It's more fulfilling than a for profit torturing animals in the cages, you know?

[Ryan]

So I think this is the type.

[Miles]

Of stuff I'm gonna bring up the Thanksgiving tomorrow. So you guys are getting a little preview of what my Thanksgiving is gonna look like.

[Jared]

It's a good little warm up.

[Miles]

It is. Yeah. You know, I got my brother, they. They bought their dog, so I'm gonna bring up a dog shop all the time.

[Jared]

Wear that. A T shirt.

[Tyler]

I mean, to be. I have a dog bone to pick with the adoption places. It costs just as much now. The adoption fee is like $300.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

My dog.

[Ryan]

Where you get your dog?

[Miles]

Yeah, I bought my dog there. People are buying them for like 2500 bucks or more.

[Ryan]

Minus. Minus 1200.

[Miles]

Yeah. You're still getting a discount.

[Tyler]

Mine was pretty cheap. And he's a pure red, golden. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Good dog.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Oh, kudos to you for adopting.

[Tyler]

I did it. I bought him. He bought him from a puppy meal.

[Miles]

Oh, I thought basically. What are you talking about? You just said adopting is the same price.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's. I. It's the same price as me buying him.

[Miles]

Oh, you.

[Ryan]

There's like no incentive to adopt because it's.

[Miles]

Okay. You went to. You went to like basically the discount store for a dog.

[Tyler]

I got. I bought it from some dude that has. He has a farm and he just raises golden retrievers and I bought it from him.

[Miles]

Yeah. You got him a Black Friday deal or something?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Dogger General.

[Tyler]

Yep. Yeah, no, he was. Yeah, just Facebook message the dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Y.

[Miles]

No, I just. Yeah. This has never been like a rats and gerbils and fish and snake guy, you know? Sure. So I just don't think I've ever been.

[Jared]

Yeah, you don't strike me as a snake guy.

[Ryan]

No. What if you're a snake guy, you're. You're a mouse guy guy, too. It's true. It's just.

[Tyler]

It's got to be fine. Mice.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah. All right, I'm at the cashier. You guys continue on with this segment. I'll just. I think I'll just beep boop and bop on the cashier.

[Jared]

I want Ryan to run it.

[Ryan]

I was just going to say, I think with that being said, I'm prime manager. Yep.

[Miles]

All right, let's do it. This is morning meeting. You're running the store. Go ahead.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Get to your spots.

[Miles]

First of all, what. What are their spots?

[Ryan]

Now that you're the manager, I think Tyler's probably going to be. Yeah, let's see. I think we're going to have Tyler probably stand, like, stand like a couple steps outside the door, outside the store door to get. Try and get people to come in.

[Jared]

I like it.

[Ryan]

What do they call those people?

[Tyler]

Greeter.

[Ryan]

Greeter, yeah. Like, not a solicitor, but.

[Miles]

I know I'm only a cashier, but shouldn't we have animals outside to draw people in?

[Ryan]

Well, animals are in the windows. If they're outside, they're going to shoot.

[Tyler]

On the floor of the mall and I just point at the window.

[Miles]

I know, but I think we should. I'm just a cashier.

[Tyler]

What do you think of this guy?

[Miles]

I know I'm just a cashier, but should we have, like a snake around his neck? Zach, we can do.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we can do snake around the neck for sure. Just a cashier, though, not snake guy. So Tyler's just going to be bringing.

[Miles]

So the snake guy doesn't like snakes.

[Tyler]

You can.

[Miles]

And I'm just a fucking cashier.

[Ryan]

No, he's not. He doesn't have to deal with snakes. So he's outside.

[Miles]

I know, but he's outside as I know. I'm just a cashier.

[Tyler]

Right. Fire.

[Ryan]

It seems like he's on his second leg. He's got three. Three strikes.

[Miles]

It just seems like we should have a draw to bring people in. In. And if. If I know anything, I was at a carnival and there was a guy with a snake around his neck and he had all the people next to him. I just thought, I'm just a cashier.

[Ryan]

No, that's fine. You're just a cashier. But when people see someone with a snake around their neck, they instantly think that in order to, like, if they Want to get a picture with the snake? They got paid for it also good.

[Miles]

Just think we're free photo.

[Ryan]

So I could just.

[Miles]

I'm just a cashier, though.

[Ryan]

You're just a cashier? The thing. The thing that's going to bring people in. You don't need anything outside. You need the window shoppers. The people who are just looking over at the store. And you have a window goes with. With little animals inside of it. Whether it's puppy, kitty, it doesn't matter.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'm just a cashier. But Jared, when you buy your house, did you just look at photos online or do you go walk through it?

[Jared]

We walk through it.

[Miles]

Okay. I'm just a cashier.

[Tyler]

If I'm standing outside the store with a snake on my neck, they're not going to think we're selling snakes. They're going to think I'm selling, like, cheap knives.

[Miles]

Like.

[Ryan]

Thank you. That seats.

[Miles]

I do. And I do know your point.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

The other answer would have been snake oil. Oil.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. See?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Tyler's kind of a back door. Back door manager.

[Jared]

We could put a parrot in the front door.

[Tyler]

Assistant manager is what they would call it. Okay.

[Miles]

Back door manager. All right, so we got back door manager. What's Jared.

[Ryan]

Jared's just going to be making sure that all the animals are happy at all times. So you're just.

[Miles]

That is a great role for laying.

[Ryan]

In the puppy pens. The laying in the kitty cradles like cats.

[Jared]

So that's not going to work.

[Ryan]

Well, I just don't think you probably have a job.

[Miles]

I know I'm just a cashier, but, like, he's giving you a lot of talk back right now.

[Ryan]

No, I know, and that's why I just. That's why I said this. This probably isn't the right job for you, Jared.

[Tyler]

If this keeps going, I think you could probably get the job of cashier.

[Ryan]

Well, and because we're going to be so busy with Tyler bringing in new customers, because backdoor manager, we might need two tails operating at all times.

[Jared]

Nice. We're going to be till buddies.

[Miles]

Let's go. So that would be fun. You and I were manning the tills at Petco. Yeah, you pretty. We have a pretty fun day.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Smoke weed in the break room.

[Miles]

Yeah, but without Jared managing the happiness of the animals, we're gonna have a bunch of unhappy animals.

[Ryan]

If you're smoking weed, though, and blow it in their face, I think they'll be happy.

[Jared]

They'll be hungry, which will cut into.

[Ryan]

My college buddies used to do that.
