Transcript

[A]

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the you Bet your radio podcast. The boys are live in the studio. Feeling good. But before we dive into this podcast, I gotta tell you about my weekend.

[B]

No. You sound so excited.

[A]

Weekend or no, this is gonna be. I'm gonna present information to you guys, and you're gonna come to your own conclusion.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Is there a right or wrong conclusion?

[B]

He's going to say no, but there is.

[A]

All right, I. I'm just going to present information. It's like a court case. Yes, a little bit. Okay. So I went deer hunting this weekend. Cold. Very, very cold.

[C]

Out of nowhere, too.

[A]

But I. It was, you know, anytime you can get out and just sit in the woods by yourself, it's great. Even if it is cold. You know, hour number four or five, you're kind of like, all right, I'm over it. But.

[B]

What are you doing?

[C]

Keep going.

[A]

No, you go ahead, Ryan. I thought we were maybe. Are you wearing two long sleeves?

[C]

Yeah. I was chilly this morning, like you in the deer stand.

[A]

Okay, all right.

[B]

You get it.

[A]

Fair enough.

[B]

We BS for, like, 10 minutes before this episode started.

[A]

It's all right. It's all right. You good? You comfy?

[C]

Yeah, I'm all right.

[A]

So the first bit of information evidence that I will present to you is. And you may know where this is going once I present this information. Yeah, I, you know, naturally, we go to deer camp Thursday night, get hammered, wake up Friday, recover, then go hunting Saturday morning, Correct?

[C]

Sounds about right.

[A]

I wake up Saturday morning, get all my gear on, I'm going out. We drive out there, I get all my stuff, I walk to the stand, I get up in the stand. And I've done this before where the last time I shot my rifle was when I sighted it in. And so the power was turned up too high because I'm in the woods. So I don't. I. If the power. Say, I can't find in the scope. So I'm like, thank God I remember that. So I'm like. I'm like, it's still dark out, and I'm, like, holding my gun to see what number power the scope is on. And so I eventually figure out that it was all the way turned up. So I'm gonna turn it all the way down. Start there, right? I go to turn the power on my scope down, and the entire scope spins, like in the little clamps. So instead of the dial turning, the entire scope spun in the scope brackets or whatever.

[C]

So now you got. Now you don't have crosshairs. You Have X hairs.

[A]

Well, so then I'm like, I think I got it. So I turn it back and like I. I eventually got the power turned down, but my scope is just loose in the scope. What would you call it?

[B]

The mount.

[A]

The mount, yeah, yeah. It's just loose in the mount. And I'm sitting there like, oh. He's like, what does that mean?

[B]

You're for sure not cited in anymore.

[A]

Oh, yeah. So.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

But okay, so that's one bit of information that happens in the morning. And then I have a great morning. You know, I kind of like, well, there's nothing I can do about it. So what am I supposed to. Am I just gonna go home because my scope spun?

[C]

Yeah. What are you just gonna sight your rifle in on the tree that's 50 yards away?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

That'S an option.

[C]

Everyone's like, miles, what's cool. What's all the shooting going on over there?

[A]

Like a lot of deer or scope.

[B]

Sponge sighting in now.

[A]

That would be a great time to shoot at some squirrels. Yeah. So anyways, I'm like, well, if it just spun this way, it might be fine. Right. So then I, you know, say, there's nothing I can do. So I'm sitting there and it's a great morning because I got deer running all around me. Actually, like, very fun, you know, bunch of does. There was one buck chasing, so actually the. There's a buck that came to my woods, ran this way, and I, I could just see his antlers, like, you know, whatever. Then he came back wrapped around, and I just didn't have a shot at it. And then like five minutes later, I hear my brother shoot and he shot that buck, which.

[C]

That was a good one too.

[A]

I didn't, I didn't feel bad about it because I didn't have an opportunity.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. It's not like you missed the opportunity.

[A]

I was like, let's go. Plus, up until last year, he was on like a 12 year drought. So it's, it's good, you know, it's kind of like Kevin Malone. Feels good to just win one. It's kind of what it feels like for my brother right now.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

So it's great. Awesome. Whatever. Go back in the afternoon, same thing. They're kind of running around me and I just, you know, it's about 4, 4:30, you know, I think, I think the last time we should be 5:30.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm sitting there and I hear something and sure as I got a few shooting lanes in the woods, I probably like a Pretty big. I couldn't tell if it was eight or ten pointer, but it was. It was a big deer.

[B]

Nice deer.

[A]

And so. But I. I didn't. I. I heard him. So, like, I was kind of ready, but then all of a sudden, he was just there, you know, I don't know if you've ever felt that in the way he's like, oh, God, you're right there. And so he walks through the shooting lane, and I'm like, getting all ready, whatever. And then he stops. And I. All I can see is like the very top of his head. Like, it's like, if I'm gonna shoot him there, I'm just gonna shoot him in the face, which I would prefer not to shoot him in the face.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. So then I hear him start to walk again. So I go, shift over, getting ready. And he looks like he's walking to the next shooting lane. He did not. He turns around and walks back to the other shooting lane.

[D]

God.

[A]

So then I have to, without him noticing, move over again.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I do that. Hindsight. I should have like, did like a. And have him stop. But he was. He was walking slow enough to where I just got over there and I took the shot and I like, again, it was. I felt like I nailed him. And I was like, let's go, dude. You know, they hisy down. And you know what it's like after you shoot deer. It's like kind of a blur. So, like, he, like, from what I remember, and like, I don't know if I just made this up or whatever. Like, he took off then kind of like, stumbled a little bit and then kind of like slowly trotted away over a hill. And I was like, he's definitely going to die over that hill. Like, let's go. So I wait a little bit and I go start looking for. We'll find. Peek over the hill. He's like. He's right there. He's not. So then I go, like, start looking for blood.

[D]

And.

[A]

Then my. Then the. The shooting windows close. So my brother, my dad, everyone starts looking for blood. Can't find any blood.

[B]

Yeah, that bullet's still going your scope.

[A]

Well, yeah, no, I think I definitely missed him. But the trial here is, why did I miss him? Is it because I suck, which is a very real possibility, or was it because of my scope?

[B]

I think it's all of the above. The scope is probably the main culprit. But you are definitely flustered in the moment. Moving back and forth, back and forth.

[C]

You felt like you were Pretty, like, you were pretty still on him.

[A]

I mean, what do you mean by still?

[C]

Just like. I mean, you're not. Your crosshairs aren't bouncing around at all, are they? And you're just trying to, like, get your composure down before you take the shot. Like, you felt pretty good.

[D]

It.

[A]

It basically was. It happened like, bang, bang. Gotcha. So there is a possibility that I just miss.

[B]

I would say it's 80, 20. The scope. Scope to you, messing it up, honestly. Because, like, even the teeniest, tiniest little change in your scope is such a drastic difference on the shot.

[A]

So. Yeah, let's just say I. That's actually probably the most depressed I have been in, like, a real long time. Like, not, like, anger, not, you know, this. It was just, like, I didn't talk after I realized, like, missed him, didn't I? Yeah, I didn't talk for, like, an hour.

[D]

Charlie Brown.

[C]

I, I, I.

[A]

And you could tell my. My family knew that too, and they were, like, kind of tiptoeing around me.

[B]

You know, let's not with him.

[A]

Yeah. Like, felt like how, like, maybe, like, widows feel about people talking about their husband dying, you know? Same vibe.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And you could just tell, and they're like, hey, like, you want a beer? Hey. Yeah, a lot of. Hey, buddies.

[B]

Can I get you anything?

[A]

You know, my brother tried to even be like, you know, maybe we'll just. Maybe when it's tomorrow at, like, noon, we'll go look for more blood. And I was just like, dude, there's no blood to be found. And the reason why I was so depressed is because every outing, you get one great opportunity. Yeah, sometimes you get none. But, like, very rarely are you getting two great opportunities. Especially in the woods. Now, if you got, like, a stand that overlooks a field, you got more opportunities. But in the woods, a broadside shot down a shooting lane of a big buck, it just doesn't happen very often. And maybe you get one of those every time. This was on Saturday evening. And I was just like, why the fuck am I even going out tomorrow? You know? Just depressed. I was like, why? Why would I even. Go sit out in the cold? It's gonna be even colder tomorrow. Why am I doing this? I'm never gonna get a better opportunity like that tomorrow. And it was. That was the most depressing thing is, like, if you, you know, like Eminem said, you get one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you've ever wanted.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I. And I failed. And I didn't hit it.

[C]

You didn't capture what you did is.

[B]

Better than, like, shooting its leg off.

[A]

Correct.

[B]

So you didn't do the worst possible.

[A]

But this is the second time I've had scope issues.

[B]

Yeah, you gotta get your scope figured out.

[A]

So. Because. Because I got the gun a few years ago, and then, like, they install the scope at the place and they like, what is it? Bore, side it to get it close, and then you go do it. Right. Did I miss something? That they wouldn't latch it on there tight?

[B]

I. I've never installed a scope in my life. Like you said, I just buy a gun, the scope's already.

[A]

I just assume that they tighten the screws on the scope, right?

[C]

Well, yeah. It's not. You're not. You ain't banging your gun around. You're not throwing it in the back seat or like, throwing.

[A]

It's like throwing it taken out of the gun safe twice a year, and it goes in the back seat and it's in a gun case. And my truck has suspension on it.

[C]

Yeah, it was.

[A]

But even so, like, even if you drove eight hours, it shouldn't rattle enough around to loosen the screws in that short amount.

[B]

Is that what it is on those brackets? Is it just an Allen WR or like.

[A]

Yeah, it's like. I don't know what it exactly is.

[D]

But maybe you got sabotaged.

[C]

That's what I was. That's where I was going. Nothing. Your brother wouldn't do that to you.

[A]

What are you.

[C]

He went 12 years, he's like this. I want someone else to feel what I feel.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Not sabotage.

[B]

You need someone else to be on a cold streak.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, it just feels a little bit like the air filters thing for me. You know what I mean? It's like my new motto in life is, change your air filters and tighten your scopes.

[C]

So have you. Have you tightened it up?

[A]

No, I. I threw that gun away. I didn't actually. But I used my brother's gun the next day because I was like, there's.

[B]

I.

[A]

Well, there's nothing I could do at that point.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

What I think what would give you some closure is if you went and shot your gun again.

[A]

I know, but then I'm like, also, then it's.

[B]

If it's dead on, you're like, oh, it was me.

[A]

If it's dead on, then it's like, for sure, 100 my fault. And I also. I've been hunting now for 20 years, and you just ever. You're just. Maybe like, I've never happened to me, but I feel like in 20 years. You're gonna miss with shot.

[B]

Yeah. Not with a rifle. I've. Jesus.

[C]

Here we go.

[B]

I have it.

[A]

All right, guys, time to play some prize picks. And right now, prize picks will give you $50 in lineups. When you play your first $5 lineup, win or lose, you'll get 50 bucks in lineups.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

[C]

I did flex play it this week.

[B]

We converted him, Jared.

[C]

I mean, the only power player I do is on. On this lineup. I flex everything else. I'm a flexible guy. That's who I am.

[B]

There it is. You have to have it. Like, your setup's got to be great. The shooting lanes can't be, like, six feet wide if you really want to have a bunch of time to settle in.

[A]

My shooting lane is six feet wide.

[B]

There you go.

[C]

Yeah, I. I've never hunted in the woods.

[A]

That's why I felt so rushed.

[B]

Right. That's what I'm saying. Like, if you want time in the woods, gotta be, like, on a wide open shooting lane.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, power line through the middle of the woods, like that type of.

[A]

No, Like, I am in the center of the woods. There's. I'm not on the edge or anything.

[B]

Mm. I'm just giving you, like, frame of reference for, like. If you want, like, legit time to sit there, like, selling, you have to shoot it when it's in your land. Otherwise, you just don't get a shot. Yeah.

[A]

It just sucks. It's, like, not our land. So, like.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I don't. I can't go in there in the summer. And.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Really froze down because I'm in a great spot. Like I said, I saw a lot of deer, but mentally. So I was. I was down really bad. My dad, at noon the next day, he could see it in my eyes.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And he was like, so, like, you're gonna go sit towards the end of the day, right? And I'm like, yeah. He's like, because it doesn't feel like you're gonna. And you know me. Like, I'm even. Like, even if I. Something doesn't go right, like, I'm still at least gonna be like, all right, let's go finish this out, or whatever. And I was pretty done. I was like this. I hate this so much.

[C]

I. I know exactly how you feel now. The difference in, like, the hunting I do between versus you guys is I've missed. I've missed deer at 40 yards with a rifle, and then I've hit that. This. I've hit him three shots later at 300 yards. So it's like, I. I have. I can give myself however many bull. I can give myself however many bullets are in my gun. That's how many chances I get. And so, you guys, it's one. It's pretty much one and done. And if you. If you miss the shot, you ain't probably ain't going to get it again. I, I have been busted by the biggest buck I've ever seen in person with my bow. I've been busted by at 10 yards. I didn't draw back at the right time. He stopped, he snorted, he, whee, took off. And I, I, I was like, very depressed after that. It's a terrible feeling.

[A]

You know, everyone talks about the, you know, buck fever and then hitting the bucket. How exciting is no one talks about the post not getting a deer depression for sure. That's what this podcast. I'd like this be platform to talk about all the people struggling with post not getting the deer depression.

[B]

It's post not clarity. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Blue balls.

[C]

When, when people were kind of trying to like not comfort you, I guess that it was anyone like, trying to tell stories about when they've like, missed big deer.

[A]

No.

[C]

That's good. Because as much as it, you might think it might make you feel good, it just doesn't at all.

[A]

Honestly, the best medicine is just silence.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Just go. Honestly, just go sit in your truck for a couple hours.

[A]

Now, what did help is the neighbors were looking for a deer. And so immediately after we looked for mine, we went and helped them try and find theirs and that like, activity also.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

You know what I mean? But, yeah, I was really depressed.

[C]

It's a shitty feeling. God.

[A]

Just was. It was, it's like, it felt like whiffing and T ball.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It's on. It's not even moving and you just whiff or whiffing in golf, striking out.

[C]

Like striking out in slow pitch softball.

[B]

Yeah. Or striking out like 10 times in the wiffle ball World Series.

[A]

Honestly, very same similar depression feeling.

[C]

What was the, what's, what was the success rate out of your guys's camp?

[A]

We went one of six this year.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Should have gone two of six.

[C]

Now if you would have went five for six and you being the loan, that's way worse. Yeah. At least, you know, you could have. That's salt on the wood. At least that didn't happen.

[A]

Yeah, no, 100%.

[B]

I didn't miss one, but I had a really nice one. Six feet on the neighbor side of the fence. Just plenty of time to shoot.

[A]

Should have like quick texted him, said, hey, can I shoot this?

[B]

Yeah. And I just, I grunted back, please.

[A]

Text, text, text, text back.

[B]

And he had his, he had his head so far up a doe's ass that I couldn't get him off her. So he was not coming to my side. Yeah, dude, it was, it was intense.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Mother Nature and I. I know you don't love to hear that, but that's true.

[D]

Circle life.

[B]

Yeah. G. Dave shot a little one.

[A]

See a freezer filler guy, he says.

[B]

He thought it was a dough, but I think.

[C]

I think he was just ready to kill.

[A]

Right? He's ready to kill.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And he probably was ready to go home.

[C]

Hell, yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, he's sitting in. He's got a. A full on insulated setup with nice tight sealed windows and a heater. He's got a blanket in there. He could have sat all weekend.

[C]

That's the Mataja hall, something like that. I was doing a bit years ago. Years ago, we went hunting with an older guy and he set us up in one of his stands and he was saying that. That he calls this stand the Mataja Hall. He was trying to say Taj Mahal, but it's just Mataja hall.

[B]

So that sounds like a UFC fighter's name.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Well, yeah, no, I. I'm. I'm going deer hunting next.

[A]

Yeah. And what's. Sorry.

[C]

So it's okay. We gotta.

[A]

It sounded like you were transitioning.

[C]

I was. So, yeah. If you got more, go ahead.

[A]

So what I do hate about the whole scenario is no blood, all foul, you know, and I'm, you know, get depressed. Whatever, whatever. And then about a half hour into my depression, I think, how am I going to face the noise on the podcast this week?

[B]

Honestly, the scope, I think you should feel 80% less worse. Less bad as you do.

[A]

But it's an excuse, you know, It's.

[B]

A very legit excuse.

[C]

Well, I think it also, guys.

[A]

And I wasn't pulling my leg because my brother took the gun and he did it and he was like, yeah, that thing is just like a hot dog down a hallway.

[B]

Yeah. Which is like any little movement on your crosshairs, that's like the difference between feet.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

On a shot.

[C]

Yeah. And I think us being guys, like, we. I've experienced it before. I don't know if you have, Tyler. Well, apparently not, because you just.

[A]

You're just Chris Kyle. You're just. Yeah, you're Mark Wahlberg in that one movie. What's it called?

[C]

Survivors?

[B]

Sniper.

[A]

Or all the above.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But also Wahlberg isn't in the Born Identity. That's Matt Davis.

[D]

I was thinking about David.

[B]

Yeah, sure.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Shooter. Not Sniper. Also.

[A]

Yeah, Shooter. Yeah, yeah. Sniper is Chris Kyle.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Lone Survivor is Mark Wahlberg. And Shooter is Mark Wahlberg. The board identity is Matt Damon.

[B]

Behind enemy Lines is Owen Wilson.

[A]

Yeah. So, yeah, we got Chris Kyle. Mark Wahlberg.

[B]

I don't. Yeah, it's not getting to me. I. I mean it. I have not messed with the rifle.

[C]

Well, for guys that have we. I don't think we'd ever wish that on another.

[B]

No. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Things you'd never wish on another man.

[A]

I'm definitely number two. His wife cheating on him. Number one. Missing it.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

You'd never want to wish those two.

[C]

Now if it's a doll, like, you're gonna. You're gonna bust balls for that. But if it's. If it's a good buck, then, yeah, we. We'll leave that one to the side.

[D]

So are you just done hunting now? Like, is that how it goes?

[A]

Yeah. So we're. It's like we don't have our own land, and it's like family friends let us come hunt the first weekend. Gotcha opener. So it's like, I got. I got. I got two days to make this happen. That's like another depressing thing. So if you had your own land or you were bow hunting and stuff, it's just like, you got another opportunity. It's like, I'm done this year now. I had my one shot and I'm done.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And I probably could figure out a way to go like, deer hunting somewhere, but it's just.

[B]

I know a public piece not very far from your house on the Minnesota side.

[A]

Do you know, do I have to get my tag in that zone?

[B]

I know you used to not have to. It might have changed. So you. You just have to look up and follow the new zones regulations. So, like, if you bought your tag for a two deer zone and then you go and hunt in a one deer zone and you shoot it, you're done. Regardless. Regardless of where you go. Yeah.

[A]

So many rules.

[B]

Yeah, they're very complicated.

[A]

Yeah. Still better rules than having a lottery.

[C]

Yeah, I got. I. I have.

[B]

I got.

[C]

I have a mu. I have a muley doe tag. And I lucked out because there was leftover tags in the unit. My buddy who hunts by Devil's Lake on top of gratis tags. And gratis tags are. Gratis tags are tags for landowners who have 120 acres or more. They. You pretty much automatically get it if they're available. Can you guys guess how many total tags were given out after the gratis tags were given out in his unit?

[B]

I can't tell by his tone if it's going to be a lot or not very many.

[A]

It's gonna be not very many.

[D]

I think it's gonna be a lot. It's not gonna be very money.

[B]

50.

[C]

Lower.

[D]

49.

[B]

Shut up. Really?

[C]

Keep guessing.

[A]

48. Lower. 47.

[C]

Lower.

[A]

46.

[C]

Way lower.

[A]

22.

[C]

Way lower.

[A]

3.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Shut the up.

[C]

Swear to God.

[B]

So three people got gratis tags.

[C]

Three people outside of the gratis. What's outside of gratis?

[A]

What's the unit?

[C]

I don't know what the number of unit is by. By Devil's like that's crazy. Three ticks were given out in like.

[A]

Let'S just say like in a few counties there was three tags given out that weren't people who owned land.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

Jesus.

[C]

Yep. Yeah. So you're one of them. No, I'm not one of them. I got. I'm God. I'm gonna try and shoot a dough next week and that'll be that.

[A]

Check your scope.

[C]

Scopes checked. It's dialed well. Yeah, it's tight.

[A]

Tighten your scopes.

[C]

But if you tighten right now after you sight in, then it might pull.

[A]

It down a little bit before you cited it.

[C]

I already sighted in. So we're. If anything's wrong with it, I'm. Yeah.

[B]

Hope and pray.

[D]

Yeah. A real hunter doesn't need a scope.

[A]

But I've had two scope issues in my life. I hunt with five other people every year and I never once has anyone ever said that their scope has done anything like that.

[B]

So I remember.

[A]

Think I'm being sabotaged. Good.

[D]

I mean. Yeah.

[B]

I remember you saying something about the scope before.

[A]

I shot the mouth off of a deer because my scope was so off. I went decided in the next year. I don't know what if it was loose or what. And I. It was like two feet off of the target.

[D]

Maybe you have a right handed rifle.

[A]

Yeah, that's probably it.

[B]

That's actually. That's a thing.

[A]

I mean I actually do use a right handed rifle.

[B]

Do you shoot right hand or do you go with the bolt like right in your face?

[A]

Right in my face. But it's like I don't know anything different. So I just think that's how guns are. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. The bullet shoots out in your face. That's just how guns work.

[B]

You gotta duck your own. Your own shells.

[A]

Plus it like, it's nice. You get the like gunpowder smoke going across your smell.

[C]

Yeah. Arguably as good as you see in the chest.

[A]

It's like cologne, you know.

[B]

Miles rips off like four shots at a running deer and he looks like the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins.

[D]

Missed.

[A]

Just like I'm not gonna go through the work to find a left handed gun and they gotta cost more or something.

[B]

Probably you should just.

[C]

Yeah, I mean trade this one in.

[A]

It's like the same of like why I'm a righty golfer is because my dad was like, you're not gonna. I'm not gonna buy different clubs for you. You're just gonna get my old clubs and you're gonna be right handed. And I think the gun is the same way.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Me and my brother are both left handed shooters and we both just have right handed guns.

[C]

And you shoot shotgun with left handed. Obviously. I mean shotgun. You can.

[A]

Yeah, that's partly maybe why I like an over under, you know.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. But how far was the shot?

[A]

I don't know, dude. 60 yards.

[D]

It's like half a football field.

[B]

That doesn't help your case.

[A]

I'm in the woods, Tyler trees. What do you expect? A 200 yard shot.

[C]

Lights minimal.

[A]

That's where. That's what I'm saying. This is not good.

[B]

That's why.

[A]

Hence the depression. I didn't even want to do the podcast.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I asked you how it went and you said we'll talk about it on the podcast.

[A]

Yeah, I just, it's.

[B]

I asked. I was very intrigued by the limited information. When I texted you and asked you how you did, you're like, I got cold. I was like, okay.

[D]

Just said off.

[B]

Basically.

[A]

Basically told me. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. It happens though. My one piece of advice is just for.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I want is your advice.

[D]

Shoot or shoot.

[C]

I was gonna say just Memory of a goldfish.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Just the worst thing you could do is bring it in next year.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Quarterback mentality.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Or I could use it as fuel for the next year.

[C]

That's true. Depends. Just depends on how your brain operates.

[D]

Yeah. Next you're gonna shoot three bucks. You're gonna have good revenge.

[A]

They're giving out bonus tags for bucks next year. Good. It's worked out perfectly. Or I'll shoot a deer that's twice as big as the one that I saw.

[B]

That buck will come back and he'll be bigger next year.

[A]

Yeah. I was letting him grow.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I also didn't want him to get too comfortable.

[B]

No, you made him smart. So now he's gonna. He knows that he's being hunted now. Second weekend, he's gonna know to chill out and hide. Next year he comes back bigger and.

[A]

Then he'll forget all about it because he's gonna be bigger and hornier and he's got Waltz right in there, and I'm go, I'm gonna get them.

[B]

And you're gonna tighten your scope up.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna do a lot. One thing that we also need to do between now and next year is spray paint all the nuts and bolts on our tree stand. Blaze orange. Because I got to put it together out there. And we drop them. They're black.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

We drop them on the ground, we can't find it. So like, this year, we had to take, like, the wing nut from the thing that connects to the bar to the tree and use that as a bolt. And then had to take a pin from a trailer and use it for that. Frank signed together the deer stand. Then you get up there and you're like, it's all rickety. So I'm gonna. I'm gonna figure out the size of the bolts and the washers and the nuts. I'm gonna buy extra, and I'm gonna spray paint them all. Blaze orange.

[C]

It's a good idea.

[B]

You gotta do the, like the gas station bathroom key with all the bolts. Like, tape a milk.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. Tape that. Like a hammer handle to it.

[A]

Hockey stick.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. Broomstick. To drill a hole out of the end.

[B]

Every nut and bolt. Just here. Your deer stand looks like a Halloween decoration.

[A]

It's a wind chime.

[C]

You could put an air tag on each one of them, too.

[D]

That's good.

[C]

It's not a bad idea.

[B]

It says I'm standing on top of it.

[A]

But yeah, pretty good idea by me. I thought I thought of that idea before I was depressed. I never thought about that in my depression.

[C]

Well, no, you're not thinking of anything else besides your depression.

[A]

We didn't lose anyone. We were taking it apart at the end of the day, too. Which would have been because it's like, if that happens, that's. That's like a thing. When you're that depressed, that is a boiling point. You know, it's like you're not mad that you lost the bolt. You're mad about all the previous stuff, but it comes through. Losing a bull.

[C]

Yeah. Anything after that is just stacking on to that.

[A]

And then what's serendipitous of this whole thing is I'm driving back to the house with my side by side on the trailer, and I'm driving down kind of by wild rice right there.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Dough comes on the road. And like, do you remember when you played need for Speed and you would get extra bonus points for a near miss on a car on the road? I would have gotten max bonus points for a near miss on that deer.

[C]

Fuck.

[A]

But how crazy would have been if I hit a deer? And that's how I kill a deer.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

The worst way.

[A]

It's the worst way. It's a go.

[C]

Fucking just got your truck fixed.

[A]

7Pm out on a Sunday. You got to work the next day. I mean, if you think I'm not getting the back straps, though. I was gonna say, for sure, you.

[B]

Could have put a tag on it.

[C]

Yeah, we're getting that.

[D]

Pose with it.

[B]

Got a last second dough.

[D]

Headlights in the background.

[A]

Well, no, you know what sucks is that was the same side that I hit the pole with. So if I'd have hit this deer, I'd have been back in the same shop being like, all right, give me the usual.

[C]

I mean, your deductibles hit already, though. Yeah, you're fine.

[B]

You just get a fender punch card four times. You just get a free one. Four repairs. The fifth one's free.

[A]

No, I almost hit it. And I was. After. I was kind of like, holy, you know, your heart's beating pretty fast. I just started laughing to myself.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I was like, joker. Yeah, kind of. I was like, no, I'm not going insane, so.

[D]

It's all right. You'll get them next year.

[A]

Yeah, we'll see. What if. What if it's a. What if it's a Space Jam situation? Like, what if all of my talents was sucked out of my body and now I'll. What if I never shoot another deer again?

[C]

Talent could have been sucked into the scope. And if you get rid of that scope, then, yeah, maybe. No deer forever.

[B]

This is a minor spoiler for Space Jam. They do get their powers back.

[A]

That's true. But they got to beat the Monstar. So what is it? What do I do?

[B]

They need somebody to beat the Monstars for them. So you just need somebody to get you out of your funk.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that somebody might be the guy at the sports shop selling you a new scope.

[A]

Yeah, that's true. There you go.

[B]

I like that.

[A]

They'll touch the new scope, and then it'll return.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Spoiler alert. That's what they do in Space Jam.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

They touch the basketball.

[B]

In case you were, it was on your list to watch next week, even though it came out in 1994.

[D]

Great movie.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That's good. Yeah. Talking about the one with LeBron, right?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I haven't seen that one, so don't spoil anything.

[A]

Don't spoil that horseshit.

[D]

Yeah, he's ambidextrous. Too.

[A]

This is not very often you can mix cartoon and real people together and work.

[D]

No Roger Rabbit?

[A]

No.

[D]

Ted? No, not Ted.

[B]

Yeah, he's. He's a real teddy bear that's alive.

[A]

Animated.

[B]

Yeah, the Muppets, kinda, but those are puppets.

[D]

I like the Muppets.

[B]

There's always just one human.

[C]

Do you have a photographic memory?

[B]

No, I wasn't asking you. But it's Miles. You know, he doesn't.

[A]

What's that supposed to mean?

[B]

That you forget all the time.

[A]

There's a difference between forgetting and having a photograph.

[B]

Photographic means you.

[A]

Just because I forgot something doesn't mean I know exact. Don't know exactly what it looks like.

[B]

A photographic memory means you remember everything.

[A]

Well, you re. No, no, no. You remember what stuff looks like. And if there's words on the page, you remember all the words.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Anyways.

[C]

Well, what I was going to ask is when you fell asleep at night, did you, like, could you see your, like, your eye looking through the scope and where you were aimed on the buck?

[A]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[C]

That sucks, dude.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And when did you start to get over this? Are you or are you not over exactly?

[A]

Do I seem over?

[C]

I mean, I think you're a little over because you agreed to do the podcast today because you were gonna skip out today.

[A]

I'm not doing it.

[D]

Nope.

[C]

Not every other podcast today. Because it doesn't seem like we're going to.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I. Yesterday is terrible work day for me. I don't know if you could tell. It's a terrible day. I think it's just depression. Hangover from the weekend, you know, And I was excited, especially after the morning that I had out there. I was like, that was just fun to just see deer running around, get excited, then, oh, it's. I'm not gonna shoot that deer. Blah, blah, blah. And I was like, I'd be so refreshed coming Monday, feeling great.

[C]

And then what's even worse is when you see people on, like, Facebook or wherever.

[A]

He's like, oh, you're. Look at the. Look at this monster. Your cousin Tag.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Sending the group message.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

My sh. My sister shot a freak.

[A]

She did? Saw it. He had to show me yesterday.

[B]

I didn't know at the time. You didn't tell me.

[A]

Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's like, again, back to like. Or like, your buddy. You just got divorced. You don't sit and talk about how great your marriage is. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point.

[B]

You might do that if you didn't know he got a divorce.

[D]

I will say though, Miles, like Miles five years ago would have been. Would be depressed for another week. And I feel like you're over the stage of depression quicker already.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, Jared. Means a lot.

[C]

Yeah, that's good.

[A]

I also think I would have just only hit the slant that the scope was off. I don't think there would even be an option to say that it was me who missed, which it very well could be that I missed. And I'm owning that. And that's what this podcast is about.

[C]

It's kind of growth and accountability and ownership.

[A]

And ownership. And I'd like to see more of that out of you guys. Honestly, I'd like to see more growth and more ownership.

[B]

I'm just thinking about me telling you about my sisters. At one point, I was making fun of the shot she took.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And this whole time you were just sitting there. I'm sorry. That's so bad.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, she shot it in the guts. She panicked. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I don't panic. I just missed. Yeah. My brother even tried to like, do the, like. You know, I actually think that hunting in the woods is way. It's just harder than the, you know, the long shots when you're just out in the field, you know, like, try to like make feel better than what he did was easier than what I did. And I was just like, dude, you get away from me.

[B]

You know, it's bad when big brother chooses to console.

[A]

Yeah, that's easy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because I'm not great at hiding my emotions. I don't know if you guys can tell, but I can't imagine what my face looked like when it's fully settled in to the point. Yeah. Because even my uncle, who all he does is give people. He was not doing it. I was like, I. I was like, I must be down bad. It's just. Yeah, just a weird weekend. And then at the end of the day, my. I get a video from my uncle because my uncles sit in like field like 5, 600 yards away from each other. So they kind of both look down into like this valley and it's just a video of my uncle's pop up stand just rolling like a tumble down the field. It's tough. It's a tough weekend for our crew.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

One deer and missed buck.

[C]

Lost ground blind.

[B]

Somebody's got to make a better fastener for those ground blinds. I have a ground blind on the edge of one of our fields and I haven't tied those ropes like, tied to a couple trees, but it was, like, flopping in the wind like a kite with those ropes holding it in place. Ripped all the stakes out of the ground. They gotta come up with something better.

[A]

Yeah, we use rebar for my brothers. I don't know if that.

[B]

Yeah, that sounds better than what I was using, but, yeah. Oh.

[A]

So it's fine. You know, this actually was nice. It's nice to get it off my chest. I was carrying that burden all weekend long.

[B]

Feel lighter.

[A]

And I can't talk to Ann about it.

[B]

Yeah. You know, she's like, whatever. Yeah.

[A]

She doesn't care.

[B]

She'll get it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, that's a tough one. That's why it's nice. I just have a group of buddies. Just dump your depression on because your wife will just make fun of you.

[C]

It's like, wow, what a waste of a weekend. Nice. Nice to have you gone and not shoot a deer.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. She's probably more bad.

[A]

And then my wife sent me a sarcastic video of, like, how wives should treat their husbands after a long weekend of hunting. And it was like a mom, like, taking care of a baby. So that's what I got going on at home.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I got more coddlement from my uncle and my older brother than I did for my wife.

[C]

What always makes me feel better is if I just go start a fire and just stare into it. Honestly.

[D]

Sounds great for that scope in there.

[C]

Throw the scope in there.

[B]

Honestly, that's the bad juju. Get rid of that scope.

[A]

Yeah, but now I have to conquer the scope.

[B]

Just tight.

[C]

We got it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It's not so much conquering. Just, like, tight.

[A]

I gotta conquer it by tight.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Should I go to the place where I got it? Just go ape on someone? Yes. Who's the scope guy?

[B]

How long have you had this gun?

[A]

Do you want to take. He want to talk to the manager. No, skip the manager. I want to talk to the scope guy.

[D]

Get Helen Keller out here.

[C]

I don't get the Helen Keller joke, but blind, sure.

[B]

And death.

[A]

Yeah. You're like. You're like, why couldn't he screw this in? What's wrong with him? He comes out in a wheelchair and he's got Ms. You're like, oh, he's like a veteran. You're like, that's worse.

[B]

I did.

[A]

I guess that's probably why he didn't tighten it down.

[B]

I'm all for giving veterans jobs, but, like, maybe not the scope tightening guy.

[A]

Have them stock the.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yep. Thank you for your service.

[B]

But not the scope service.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

All the rest of it, though.

[A]

I really imagine the chances that the scope guy is. Is a military veteran with a wheelchair.

[C]

I can't. No, I can't imagine that.

[A]

But God damn it, that's an excuse. Yeah, it is.

[B]

It is.

[A]

Why you miss that buck? Well, see, my scope guy, he's got ms, and I just trusted him because, you know, he's. He's a veteran.

[C]

He's a scope guy. Scope guy says scope guy, his name.

[A]

Tag, and just couldn't get him tight enough and ended up me in the long run. So. Yeah, that's my story, I guess. Sticking to it.

[C]

Well, he. He like. I mean, he's a company man. He wanted. He wanted you to have to come back and buy a new scope, so.

[A]

Well, do you go on this again?

[B]

I did. I. That my only true encounter was that one on the neighbors of something that I would shoot. I had a bunch of does. Add one directly underneath me, and I had a. There was a buck coming through the swamp. I couldn't really see what it was, but he was coming in hot and grunting and stuff. And the. The doe was just right next to me, so I couldn't move. And eventually she. She winded me or something, or I moved and she caught me. And she just sat there like eight yards away and blew at me for 15 minutes. Yeah. I swear you could hear it a mile away. She just sat there and blew and scared every deer in the property away. I was so mad. I was like, them women if I messing up.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

This is like the one time in my life I didn't want a blow job. Yeah, but, like, I. I didn't have a dope.

[A]

How many times have you told that joke since that happened?

[B]

We've been in our group have been calling them blow jobs for 15 years in the making.

[A]

Yeah, I feel like you had practice on set up in a punchline.

[B]

Well, like, if I didn't have a doe tag, otherwise, I would have shot her, so.

[A]

All right, well, you going next weekend? Must be tough.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Should we take a break? Recover? Let's get after it. All right, Jared, we have a. We've moved past it. We're fine. We're all fine. Okay.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Febreze brothers. Let's do a fresh start.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

Start the podcast now. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode. You mention radio, Jared's got some fire for us. What are we talking about today, Jared?

[D]

Things that make guys feel betrayed when.

[A]

The scope guy doesn't tighten it. Anyways, fresh start. Fresh start. We'll do. A fresh start. We're Febreze brothers. All right. Things that make guys feel betrayed. I think something that makes a guy feel betrayed is when your buddy gets up to get himself another beer and doesn't ask if you want to know.

[B]

That's a good one.

[D]

That's.

[C]

Yeah, that's really good. Yeah, don't worry about it. I didn't want one anyway. It's all good.

[A]

Yeah, it's like, it's a totally. Just a nice thing to do and it shouldn't be required, but it's just become such a requirement.

[B]

Like, honestly, even if I, even if he would have asked me and I would have said no, I would still feel pissed that he didn't ask me.

[D]

Correct.

[A]

He may have just seen you crack another beer, but maybe you're gonna slam that one.

[B]

Maybe I didn't want to get up in 10 minutes and go get one.

[C]

And you shouldn't even have to ask them. You should just grab them one anyway, if they, if they say, ah, I got it. I gotta, I'm, I'm good here. You just set it right next to you.

[D]

There's like a stack of five beers next to it.

[C]

Yeah, it looks like I've been drinking them. Right.

[A]

I think another thing that will make a guy feel betrayed is when he sees his buddy having fun with another buddy doing the stuff that you do.

[B]

I, I, I also, I wrote down when you see your golf buddy golf with someone else or your hunting buddy hunt with someone else, it is a sense of, like, they have every right to do fun stuff with other people.

[A]

Life.

[C]

No, they don't.

[B]

But, God, it's, it's a, it's a shot to the heart.

[D]

It's the Squidward meme where he sees Patrick and spongebob having fun outside and he's inside.

[A]

Correct. Yeah.

[B]

Peeking through the shade. The shade. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. It's 100 how it feels.

[C]

You know, even if you're golfing three hours away.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Just be like, just that. Ask him anyway.

[B]

Oh, where was my invite? That's, that makes me feel really good.

[C]

Got lost in the mail.

[A]

You know, like, if Ryan was hanging out at some other content creator's place and, and fulfilling T shirt orders, you.

[B]

Just get a snap from Charlie Barron's and Ryan's mowing his office lawn.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I would feel completely betrayed.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

At least Charlie values the work I've been doing around here, so. No, that, that was, like, part of.

[B]

The COVID Like role playing. Yeah.

[A]

There's also, like, an aspect of, like, when your Buddy and your group of friends. But then he also has a separate group of friends.

[C]

What the dude. We're dealing with that right now.

[A]

And they. And then they talk about how. Bunch of inside jokes and funny stuff that's happened with the other friend group. Very betraying.

[C]

Yes. Buddy. Buddy. In my friend group, he's. We're dealing with that with him right now because he's. When he tells us a story, he keeps referring to my, like, my other buddies. We're like, oh, that's nice to know other buddies or whatever. Yeah, it would have been nice. It would have been nice.

[D]

And he'll have a name for those buddies to be like the Rat Pack or something.

[B]

Wolf.

[A]

The Basement Squad.

[C]

Basement Brothers.

[D]

Basement Boys.

[A]

The Call of Duty Bros. My best.

[B]

Friend has another friend group as well, and I.

[A]

That. That. That right there. That's the betrayal.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

My best friend has another friend.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You son of a.

[B]

But I refer to them as his work friends, and then we're his real friends.

[A]

Nice.

[B]

So just to make sure that he.

[A]

Knows I don't got to demean the other friend group.

[B]

That friend group. Yeah.

[A]

Because nothing will make a guy want to spend more time with your friend group when. If you guys spend the whole time talking about his other friend group.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That'll keep him around.

[C]

My buddy, who has another. Who's got another buddy group, he started off a story saying, like, when I was. When I was out getting beer. Beers with my buddies, we're like, where are your buddies?

[B]

When the. Did we get beers?

[A]

Yeah. Was I that drunk? I don't remember.

[C]

How was a couple years ago you're talking or.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

So, yeah, we're dealing with it right now.

[B]

Another form of buddy betrayal is like, when they give up your spots, you know, like a fishing spot, or they give up your local watering hole. Like, you'll feel betrayed if all of a sudden, like, somebody else is like, oh, so and so told me about this, and you were the one that told so and so.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And they go with another buddy.

[B]

Double betrayal.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No coming back from that.

[D]

If.

[B]

If your friend with another friend group took his other friend group to your spot, the friendship is over.

[C]

And I like. I. I like sharing fishing spots, but at the same time, like, if you're going to go there, at least ask me. Yeah, I know I don't own the. I don't own that spot, but ask me if you can go there, because I did the work to find it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's no.

[C]

It's kind of unwritten rule guy Code. Let's see. Things that. Things that make guys feel betrayed. Sending out. Like when you send trail cam pics of nice bucks to people and then you find out they have sent them around to other people in the area who could potentially shoot them.

[B]

Yeah, that's a secret, dude.

[C]

It's a big time secret. I trusted you enough to take a look at this really nice deer I got on trail cam and not to send it to anyone else.

[B]

Yeah, and you shouldn't even have to tell them. They should just know that they're not supposed to be spreading it.

[C]

For sure.

[D]

Gotta watermark those photos.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think another form of being betrayed as a guy is when your buddy is gambling and does a lineup on prize picks and wins, but doesn't tell you about it beforehand. That you could also ride with that. For sure.

[C]

I'm with you.

[D]

How do you feel?

[A]

That sucks.

[C]

Tyler, before we started the podcast. Yeah, I won. I won this lineup from this random guy.

[B]

I. I followed a random gu. That wasn't me making a lineup.

[A]

Yeah. Oh. Oh, Is that what your friend group's name is called? Random group of guys? Sounds sick. Because you guys are chill. You're, like trying not to be friends, but you clearly are.

[B]

No, I was using a new feature you can use on Pricepix called the feed. Yeah.

[A]

Just letting you know you're betraying us all. Okay.

[B]

It wasn't me.

[A]

Why don't you go and just put the knife in my back right now?

[B]

I want you guys to know, hand up right here, that I share every lineup I curate on my own with you. You.

[D]

Right. Can you say that?

[A]

The only one I haven't shared with you guys is when I submitted it one minute before the game started.

[B]

Didn't have enough seconds to share.

[A]

I could have. But then you guys have been like, wow, this lineup isn't valid anymore.

[C]

And then.

[A]

But next time I will.

[C]

I. I mean, I. No, I cannot say that every time. I. I also put 10 lineups in a weekend.

[A]

I'd love to put in 10 work free lineups in a weekend.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I'd love to do that.

[C]

Okay. All right.

[A]

Because we're. I don't want to be in game here. Right.

[C]

I don't want to be a bother.

[A]

No. God, no.

[D]

Never.

[C]

Kind of. I. I don't want to switch topics too fast. This is on me right now. But in that same vein, another form. Form of betrayal is like if you got. If you're at the blackjack table with some buddies and you're getting low on chips and you have like, you get like double aces or something. Something that you should split or double, and your buddy next to you doesn't sauce you a couple chips to make that happen. In my mind, that's a form of betrayal.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

I've never been in that scenario, but me either.

[B]

And I'm not a huge blackjack mind. I don't know the intricacies of the game, but I believe you. You've coached me through a few hands of blackjack before.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. It's. I mean, there's unreal. If you're playing with your buddies, especially, and you're out of chips, you got double. You got a sauce of a. I.

[A]

Think another form of betrayal is when you feel like the vibe of the party or the bar is that you guys are going to go the distance and your buddy decides to go home early.

[B]

Yeah. He doesn't even tell you about it. He just, like, sneaks out.

[A]

Yeah. That's a double betrayal. It's the Irish goodbye. But you know what? And it's like. And we all. There's that scrambling feeling where you're trying to find any excuse to try and get him to say, but you can see in his eyes that he's leaving. Doesn't matter what you say. He is leaving. And you just feel so betrayed.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And then you get defensive. You know, he ruined your night. I guess you're just not fun anymore.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Betrayal.

[B]

Another form of betrayal. Not the humankind, but when your dog goes to somebody else and not you.

[A]

Same with your kid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, if your kid is excited to see. Like, if you were to come over to my house for a shoe tower and he was all jacked to see you, I would be like, wow, so you don't even love me anymore? What?

[D]

The dude shoots over.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Tyler, get the out of here.

[A]

Go sit in the car till we're done.

[B]

Would you be more. So would you be more. Feel more betrayed by me or the kid? Because I feel like I would get it for that.

[A]

No, it's. Yeah, it's you.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

My kid can do no wrong.

[B]

Right.

[A]

It's stuff that you've done in the past that have caused this, you know? But, yeah, dog, I totally get that.

[C]

Yep. I. I mean, as a guy who appreciates dogs like I do, I would prefer if my dog went somewhere else because it's attached to my hip.

[A]

Not too.

[B]

Not to break.

[A]

Just such a good dog owner. My dog.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I just have full control over her at all times.

[D]

My.

[B]

My dog is.

[C]

Loves eating deer. She. She has a Stomach full of deer every single day.

[B]

Gross.

[C]

And that's been pissing me off.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

So nasty.

[B]

That is nasty. So.

[C]

Yeah, it very. We want. We're not going to get into that.

[A]

Thank you. Yeah.

[B]

My dog loves my grandma. He'll go to her over me every single time.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

That's.

[A]

You're betrayed by your grandma. Yeah.

[B]

It's fucked up. She doesn't feed him.

[C]

Yeah. But he knows that she's going to scratch her as long as. As he wants.

[B]

Yeah. And I'll scratch him as long as.

[C]

I want, which is going to be.

[A]

Yeah, but he also knows that you'll get piss in him if he's annoying you.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

How long.

[A]

How many times your grandma gotten pissed at your dog?

[B]

She never gets mad at him. It's horseshit. She's doing it to get him to like her more. It's a betrayal.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. That's what it is.

[B]

Another form of. Another thing that makes me feel betrayed is when my wife watches a show that I pretended not to like without me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I. I don't like Dancing with the Stars, but if she watches it without me, I'll be fucking betrayed.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Why, though? Because I don't like the show.

[A]

Because he doesn't like the show. Yeah.

[B]

I don't like it at all.

[A]

Obvious. Ryan isn't like it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You would never.

[C]

Well, if she sees that.

[A]

You would never sit down and be glued to the TV when Flavor Flav is a guest judge.

[B]

Yeah. And I would never have opinions on carrying scoring system if I. If I liked it.

[A]

And he definitely wouldn't have an opinion on whether or not it's rigged or not, considering that Andy Rickard keeps going through.

[B]

Yeah. And I definitely wouldn't have a theory that he secretly has wanted out of the show since week two because his body's falling apart. If I liked it. Yeah.

[A]

And it's like he wouldn't have a conspiracy theory that the producers are just keeping him in to create raid bait on the Internet. And more conversation on Twitter.

[D]

And a podcast.

[A]

And a podcast. You know, they just. It's because he doesn't care about any of that 100%. That's why he feels betrayed.

[D]

Yep.

[C]

That's so canon of you guys. That's so canon lore.

[A]

I think, in the same type of thing. Like, if you, like, let's say you and Tyler, you and I are watching a show and we discuss that, and then I find out later that you're, like, dropped out of that show.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I would feel betrayed 100%. Like, I feel like I did that to you, Ryan, with Yellowstone. Yeah, we would talk about Yellowstone. We talk about it. And then I think it was like season.

[C]

The last.

[A]

Second to last episode of season three or something. I was like, I'm. This show is not good anymore.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm out on this show and I didn't even watch the season finale. And Ryan's like, hey, you watch Yellowstone? I'm like, no, I'm done with it. I imagine that I betrayed you so hard.

[C]

No, that's a great example.

[A]

Example.

[C]

Great example.

[D]

I'm staying with me and you Miles with righteous gemstones. But I like righteous gemstones. They just haven't gotten around to watching.

[A]

Yeah. You betrayed the hell out of me.

[B]

Are you gonna though?

[D]

I will, though.

[B]

Yeah. Okay.

[C]

That's a. It's a fantastic show. The recommendation over here, I got righteous gemstones recommendation from you and White Lotus recommendation from you, Jared.

[D]

Oh, really?

[C]

That Phenomenal shows. And I was watching gemstones during paternity leave too, so I was busting those out.

[A]

They were also busting them out.

[C]

Yes, they were. Yes, they were.

[D]

I got one. You tell your buddy you have a lock for a bet, and then they bet the opposite. That's. Yeah, but that's actually kind of smart in a weird way, because they're usually right. I'm wrong.

[A]

Yeah. But it's a form of betrayal. Yeah. You know.

[B]

I have one. I feel betrayed. Or like, when a spot you go to could be a bar, could be anywhere. They change prices on you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's just like, what the hell, man? We've been paying 350 for beers for 15 years.

[A]

That's a huge form. Betrayal. And to second that. Or when you have a lake bar that you love that is the perfect dive bar, and then first they change the name on you, so you have to relearn the name of the bar, and then.

[C]

Yeah, that's.

[A]

They tear down the part that you love and put up a freaking box with gray walls on it and kill the entire vibe. That was your lake bar.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

That's betrayal.

[C]

That sucks.

[A]

And if you couldn't tell, that's what I'm currently going through right now.

[B]

They changed the name.

[A]

Well, what it is now is the name change before.

[B]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[A]

Yeah. And it's not even a better name. Sucks.

[D]

And then you have a few too many beers and then they kick you out.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. And they.

[D]

What do they.

[B]

They tell me, I have my tab every week.

[A]

What the.

[B]

I'll get it to you. At the end of the month.

[A]

Yeah. It's such a betrayal to want me to pay for stuff.

[D]

Give you a water instead of a beer.

[B]

How much business I brought you?

[A]

You know how much money I've spent here?

[B]

None.

[A]

None. I even bought the $75 quarter Z with your logo on it when I was shit faced one night. That's real. That happened.

[B]

I put in a lot of money into your pool tab and then you don't get revenue from that.

[A]

I bought it as a 2xL and then I lost a bunch of weight. It doesn't even fit anymore, so it was a waste of money.

[C]

You should get that one.

[A]

Yeah, it's extra hot in the dryer.

[C]

I mean, that's a. That's another good form of a trail too, is pull tabs. When you like, let's say you and a buddy put a hundred bucks in and you pull 50 bucks in tabs. And they don't want to reinvest that. Yeah, totally.

[A]

So now not being on the same page and pull tabs is a form of betrayal.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Another form of betrayal is like when you're. When your buddies go to Nashville for work related purposes, but then they come back and all they talk about is the fun they had outside of work and not even actually about work in general. And when they do it like four or five times.

[A]

That happened to you? Yeah.

[B]

That sucks.

[C]

Yeah, it happened like four or five times. My last one was like, I don't even. I don't want to go.

[A]

Dude, you got to go to the Ozarks every year.

[C]

Want to go to Nashville? I'm so. I'm so.

[A]

Ozarks were better than Nashville anyways, right?

[D]

Yeah, that would have been nice to go to Ozarks.

[A]

Betrayal.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

The more we get into this segment, the more I'm realizing we're just betraying each other left and right.

[D]

But if everyone's betrayed, nobody's betrayed.

[B]

Yeah, true.

[A]

If we all got a knife in our back, no one's got a knife in their back.

[D]

If everybody has herpes, nobody's got herpes, Right?

[A]

Yeah. If everyone's got aids, no one's got aids. Wait, what?

[C]

It's all kosher.

[A]

I think it's just a mild form of betrayal is when you send someone a funny, like, Instagram reel and you get no response.

[C]

Even a reaction is good.

[A]

Yeah, I'm not looking. Yeah, I'm not looking for you to respond. I'm looking for just a haha. Maybe. Yeah. And I'm not talking like mill the road. Funny. I'm talking like you laughed your ass off. And you're like, the one person I gotta send this to is Jared. And kudos to Jared. He always, you know, it might be partly because I'm his boss, but he always responds with something when I send him a funny reel. There's some guys out there you don't.

[B]

I'm really bad at that.

[A]

Yeah, no, I'll text him about something important in our business and he won't.

[B]

Respond because you'll text it to me at 11 o'. Clock.

[A]

I know. Because you're supposed to wake up, see it, and respond.

[B]

And then the next morning.

[A]

What are you doing on your hour drive into town? Get on your phone. Get on your phone. Turn off the Canon books.

[B]

By the time I get here, you'll be here, here. Well, not really, but by the time.

[A]

It won't be here.

[B]

We can just talk about it. We can talk about it the second.

[C]

You stop at 11 night before.

[A]

But it's a form of betrayal. You could even be like, yeah, let's discuss that in the office.

[B]

I'm gonna start doing office speak.

[D]

Love it, boss.

[B]

I'm gonna have a.

[A]

That's better. I'd. I'd much rather you be sarcastic to me than nothing at all.

[B]

Let's, let's circle back EOD tomorrow.

[A]

Yeah, I'd love that.

[D]

That few housekeeping items.

[C]

Yeah, we can just talk about eon end of night. Yeah, it's, it's like midnight right now.

[A]

I don't expect a response from you at 11pm I expect a response when you wake up.

[B]

I usually do text back when I wake up.

[A]

Yeah, only because I started putting a stink up about it. I never would have. I never get a response.

[B]

I was more talking about the reals. I never react to any of the reels you send me.

[A]

That's fine. I stopped sending them to you. This is how life goes. See, if you aren't going to appreciate the curated feed, I'm sending you directly to your inbox.

[B]

But I, I, I do like most of the ones that I sent. I just never, never respond or react.

[A]

What's kind of funny is that he responds.

[C]

He responds and reacts to when his other buddies.

[B]

So I don't.

[A]

They, they know you know exactly what group that he would do that. It's his other guys, the real friends.

[B]

He's the work friends and the real friends.

[A]

What's very funny about all this is I'm getting pissed and tired for that. And I do this to my wife on a daily basis.

[C]

Yeah, it's A different dynamic, though.

[A]

It's so. It's not a betrayal. It's. I'm working it. I'm putting food on table.

[B]

Yeah. And honestly, like, we can't keep up with the amount of reels and tik toks they're sending us, so we cannot react to every single one.

[A]

You get Snapchats, you get reels, you get tik toks, you get text messages.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

It's like, to Mount Rushmore of stuff that I'm not going to respond.

[B]

I don't know if. I don't know if this happens to you in your relationship that I'm much.

[A]

More likely to respond to my buddy who sends me something than my own wife. I don't know. It's just a lot.

[C]

Well, you live with her, too. Jesus Christ.

[B]

Does this happen to you guys in your relationships? On Snapchat, specifically. I'm in like five group chats with my wife, and so she'll take one snap and I'll get the thing five times because she sends to her family, to one side of my family, the other side of my family, my sister. And I'm in all those groups. And so then I just gotta watch the same video of my kid, messy eating in his high chair five times.

[A]

You know, Tom Open clothes.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, if that's kind of dad you want to be. I always love. I welcome all videos of my child.

[B]

I'll watch the first one.

[A]

I'll watch it infinity times if I have to, because I just love him that much. I'm just trying to be such a good dad.

[B]

I'm sure he appreciates it and knows that you're watching him five times. When he turns 18, he's gonna shake your dad. Thank you for watching those Snapchats of me as a kid.

[A]

I would never tap through all the videos my wife sends me.

[B]

See what we.

[C]

What. What my wife and I do. I'll just open up my. My Instagram message thread with her once a month and I'll. I'll just screen mirror it to the TV because she wants to watch the reels that she sent.

[A]

That's a great. Good.

[C]

We actually did. We just did it the other. Let's see, two nights ago, Sunday night. Probably took 20 minutes to get through.

[A]

That sounds.

[C]

Actually, it was. I mean, it's a pretty good system because then I don't have to open a single message from her 29 other days out of the month.

[A]

That's brilliant. Sounds so bad.

[C]

But then we just knock it out all in one, you know, fun Like.

[D]

Friday night activity or kind of.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something connected on a deeper level, you know?

[D]

Why'd you say it that way?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Speaking of the betrayal, if I would.

[C]

Have said it normal, you guys been like, what? You loser.

[B]

Speaking of the betrayals in the real. Sending another form of betrayal. I have one buddy that will send me a reel and it'll be like a Vikings highlight and then it's just a chick moaning as the audio.

[D]

Oh, that's good.

[B]

I'm like you.

[A]

That's a fun kind of a trick.

[B]

But he does it four times a week.

[C]

Yeah, it's like, what if you're getting oil changed or something and you full.

[B]

Volume and I just like, I've hooked up the Bluetooth somewhere.

[D]

In your car still.

[A]

Yeah. And then you have to go explain it to everyone and then you gotta show us. I know you probably heard it.

[C]

You gotta show them all the video.

[B]

Yeah, that happened to me this morning. I sit down at my desk, I open a reel for my buddy, and it's just a chick moaning as loud as possible. There's a NASCAR pit crew doing a change.

[C]

Oh, I'm sure it was a NASCAR picture.

[B]

Something was getting drilled.

[C]

Yeah, getting a oil change, but not that kind of oil change.

[A]

So someone was pumping that thing full of gas.

[B]

It's like, the thing is, he'll send me normal too. And just like. So I never know when it's coming.

[A]

Sounds like a massive.

[C]

Yeah, nothing's safe.

[D]

I like this guy.

[A]

I like this guy a lot.

[C]

Did you react to the real.

[B]

No, I did in irl. React to it. Scroll off of as fast as possible.

[C]

I thought I heard something next door. I was like. I thought we had Internet blockers or something.

[B]

Yeah, I was. First thing I do when I get in the office, when I sit down at my desk.

[A]

I mean, long drive in.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

You're just cooped up for an hour.

[B]

Legs are a little sleepy. You gotta wake up the lower body.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Just set up a piece of breakfast pizza.

[B]

No little grease in my belly.

[D]

Good feeling.

[B]

Real good. Put the.

[C]

You're wearing just a looser pair of pants today.

[B]

Hang my coat up in front of my window in my office.

[C]

Pull the blinds. Blinds we don't even have.

[B]

Morning, Ryan.

[D]

Ah, it's a good day.

[A]

I was wondering why you had so many tube socks in your office.

[C]

Yeah, and those weren't like. Those weren't samples that I brought in. Trying to make it my own tube sock.

[B]

No, no, I've had those for years.

[C]

You just brought those?

[D]

They're broken in.

[A]

How often you watch those by the.

[B]

Same amount as Ryan wash watches reels with his wife. Once a month. Once a month after. After 29 mornings in the office. They. They need to be clean.

[D]

That's over a month.

[C]

Speaking of socks, have you guys seen how expensive socks are getting? I walked by a sock rack the other day and we're talking like they're like three bucks a pair now. Three, four bucks a pair. And you get them. Get the whatever, the smart wool ones or what?

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

They got all kinds of wool ones now. Their feet don't sweat. It's like, I'll. You want me to take my shoe off? These are of. My feet are sweating right now. 18 bucks a pair.

[A]

What?

[C]

36 bucks for a two pack. So it's like the warm socks. Semi warm.

[D]

Smart.

[A]

I just buy them on Amazon. They show up dumb wool.

[C]

I. I like to try mine on before. Beforehand.

[B]

See, go to the fitting room for socks.

[C]

Yeah. Usually involves me having to take the. The h. The plastic. Plastic little tag out. But I just set him back up there. I don't know. What about the next guy who wants to try them on? At least I just did his dirty work for him.

[B]

You guys know me. I'm a pretty frugal guy. I don't spend money. Frivolous. Frivolously. I made an impulse purchase that was an absolute game changer. I bought electric heated socks and they were awesome. Hunting.

[A]

See, I've talked to people who have bought them and they're like, yeah, they don't work.

[D]

Work.

[B]

No.

[A]

Found a good pair. You might want to sauce that link in the patreon so the patrons can affiliate link. Yeah.

[B]

These guys.

[C]

Philly.

[B]

You guys, guess how much they cost.

[A]

40 bucks.

[C]

6 bucks?

[B]

I've paid $70 for a pair of socks.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

They hook up to my phone and I can control the heat.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, this weekend. I would have loved that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Not only am I depressed, I got freezing cold feet.

[B]

Yeah, the. The toes were as warm as possible. They're not allowed to play at weddings. Can't have freezing cold feet at your wedding.

[C]

Would you ever. Would you rather have cold feet?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So.

[A]

So who do you got for the wedding? Freezing cold feet.

[B]

Oh, no.

[D]

She booked them.

[C]

Would you guys rather have cold feet or cold hands in the deer stand?

[A]

Cold feet. Because I do. I'm gonna shoot a gun with my hand.

[D]

Hand.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm not gonna shoot a gun with my feet. Maybe that's what happened. Also another I missed because, you know I'm sitting there, I got my feet up on the shooting bar, toes are frozen, and I'm trying to pull the trigger with my big toe, and it just wasn't moving.

[B]

Well, that could have been it. I'm not 100 sure, but that could have been it.

[A]

And then I had to get a Christopher Columbus scope to see down that scope, and it was all loose. All the.

[D]

They had to pause Netflix on your iPad. That's right.

[A]

Next.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Set.

[A]

Set down my jersey. Mike sub.

[C]

Little Caesar's pizza. Hot and sweaty like.

[D]

Yeah. Qdoba Nazi something.

[A]

Just have so much Mike Sway on.

[C]

Your hands after eating Taco Bell cinnamon twists.

[A]

What would be the worst food to eat in a deer stand?

[D]

What?

[C]

Cinnamon twist from Taco Bell.

[D]

I'd say nachos.

[A]

Flamin Hot Cheetos. Just the whole time afterwards, you're like.

[B]

It's like chicken tortilla soup. You got a bowl and a spoon. You're.

[A]

You're slurping every time, crushing the chips into it. Yeah.

[C]

I think deer like tortilla chips.

[B]

You gotta unhook the third. Unscrew the thermos, glug it into your bowl that you've rattled around in your backpack.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. They gotta get a little sleepy. So you gotta think of pre workout with one of those little. Those metal spring deals and the protein.

[B]

Shaker bottle.

[D]

Workout in the stand.

[C]

You just. Yeah, you're trying to like, like do like a grunt call over top. Shaking your pre workout.

[A]

You're shaking it like hear a deer and then you go on the top.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Kind of could. Could sound like two deer fighting though. Sound like a rattle rattle.

[D]

I got a Reddit pick to show you guys.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Have we ever did a fun fact of where they got the saying the Irish goodbye?

[D]

I can dig that up. I probably have the.

[C]

Though sounds good.

[D]

So I saw this on Reddit. It was on subreddit walking. So this guy accidentally walked a marathon at 1:30am after the bar and he needs recovery advice. So he walked 26 miles. Eight and a half hours almost.

[B]

He had have been. Did he. He had to have sobered up.

[A]

I don't know. I. So he's shit face and he opens up the app and starts his walk thing.

[D]

Yeah. At 1:30am I mean, 1912.

[C]

That's a decent pace too. That's just like a brisk walk too. The route looks pretty straight. I mean, he wasn't, I don't know.

[B]

In the middle there. He got a little.

[D]

Yeah, he was bar hopping.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

In Columbus.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

So he he was bar hopping.

[D]

That's what it seems like with. According to the route, it looks like.

[B]

Because there's no way he keeps that buzz going for eight hours but accidentally.

[C]

Walked a marathon at 1:30am after the bar.

[B]

True. Yeah. Where was he stopping?

[A]

I don't know. Piss.

[B]

And also he couldn't be stopping to keep that 19 minute mile pace unless.

[C]

He was just a light. Light jog.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Stopping and a piss.

[A]

You set your PR in the 30K. You just set your new PR. Eight achievements.

[C]

He had to have slept good that night though.

[A]

Yeah. I mean could you imagine not only being hung over but also have just ran a marathon?

[D]

Just so sore.

[C]

Imagine how dehydrated he was. Okay.

[B]

Did he complete the marathon at 1:30 or did he start it? Cuz if he started it then he finished it like, like when the sun was up.

[A]

I think he finished at 1:34am that would make a lot more sense. Like he started his evening up in Upper Arlington and ended in West Columbus.

[D]

Southwest Columbus.

[A]

Yeah, Southwest Columbus. Alcon. Looks like he just. We like the ending point. Looks like he's just on the interstate.

[D]

It does.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

He just found a nice bridge. Bridge to sleep under for the morning.

[D]

Hitchhiked back.

[A]

Yeah. Imagine like the, the. The reason why he came to was his phone had the app going and it was like here's your marathon time, 8 hours 23 minutes. And he's like oh, forgot I was doing this.

[C]

Yeah, probably daylight savings time too. So he's all up.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

So yeah.

[A]

I do think that if I was going to walk a marathon, being drunk for it gets done for me. I'm going to quit early. I think I got much higher chance of quitting a marathon early if I'm walking, if I'm not drinking.

[D]

Yeah. Because there's a certain point where you're drunk where you feel almost invincible physically.

[B]

I mean obviously I wasn't walking 26 miles home from the bar, but I walked home from the bars all the time. Time. This is something I would never do sober.

[C]

I would run home from the bars.

[A]

That's crazy. Yeah, that's okay. Just by yourself. Invincible but just by yourself.

[B]

Yeah, in like nice clothes.

[C]

I mean like jeans and whatever.

[A]

But like. So did you like leave your buddies in the dust or you just like left on your own?

[C]

Well, no, we were like when everyone, when the bar would close, like if there was no after party party, we would just go to our houses. I didn't live with any of the baseball guys at this.

[A]

Got it, got it.

[C]

So yeah. We would just all go our separate ways. And I'll just run home.

[B]

Question for the group. Is it weirder to run home after the bars alone or with the squad?

[A]

I think it's kind of a vibe to run with the squad.

[B]

Just hammered.

[A]

That's a running club I'd like to.

[D]

Be a part of.

[C]

Well, that takes care of conditioning for the next day, too. Yeah, get out of conditioning.

[B]

You started working some of that alcohol.

[A]

Then you started doing.

[D]

Right.

[A]

I don't know what I've been told. I mean, you start doing like that, it's all of a sudden it's turned into an afterparty.

[B]

Jamestown nights are really cold.

[A]

Nights are really cold.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, it was probably a quarter. No, probably little. Less than a half mile. Pretty flat, too.

[B]

Two for ones. They got me bust. We are not running from the fuzz.

[C]

Maybe I was.

[D]

No.

[A]

Yeah, maybe you definitely weren't.

[C]

No.

[A]

Well, yeah. I mean, if that's real, that's impressive.

[D]

I would have to say it's real impressive.

[C]

Well, he has a post he posted at 1:34am so he had to been pretty. I mean, to have the conscience to tweet this out at 134. Yeah, he's so it up.

[D]

Now we have. Whoops, I screwed this up.

[A]

Back button, top left. Oh, no.

[D]

Next we have Ryan. Music trivia.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I love it.

[A]

What a way to end the podcast.

[C]

Jared, what kind of genre are we looking at? It's a specific. Okay.

[D]

It's a rocking country.

[C]

That's not good.

[A]

Yeah, rock.

[C]

Like we talking. Like.

[A]

I just hear the songs Eric clap in.

[D]

So, Ryan, who sings Sweet Caroline?

[C]

[B]

[A]

[D]

Spoiler alert.

[C]

I would have never got Neil Diamond.

[D]

All right, who sings Mr. Brightside?

[C]

It started off with a kiss. How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss. It was only a kiss.

[B]

You got it.

[A]

You got it, you got it. It's the opposite of what I was this weekend.

[B]

Can we give him a hint?

[D]

Sure.

[B]

Two words.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

That's exactly what was in my head.

[A]

Foo Fighters, the Killers. Would you have ever got it?

[C]

No, because I was thinking depressed. What's the opposite of depressed?

Opposite of me. This weekend. Killers.

Then the name of the band is a guy.

[C]

What? How does the song even go?

[A]

Cold beer on Friday night.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Also, I've never thought about, like, a great evening being like, God, these jeans are fitting just right.

[D]

Maybe when you get older, you will. Maybe.

[A]

Yeah. But I've never, like, put on a pair of jeans, but gonna be a great night. These jeans are fitting just right.

[B]

When did that come out? Probably 2010. They weren't making jeans in 2010 like they are now.

Not bad.

[A]

Pretty good. Yeah.

[C]

That's actually not bad. Baseball guy.

[D]

One fun fact. The average per. The average person walks past 36 murderers in their lifetime.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

You walk past 36 murderers in your.

[D]

Life in your lifetime.

[A]

That's not true.

[C]

I believe it. I know. I know. I've murdered from my hometown. That I've walked past.

[A]

No.

[D]

Okay, 35 times.

[A]

Okay, well, is that what it's.

[C]

That's one. I mean, that's one.

[B]

One time.

[C]

Yeah, that I actually, I know of.

[B]

I interviewed One once for the news.

[D]

Yeah, I've done that, too.

[B]

Through bars or no courthouse.

[D]

Yeah, I think about five or six for me.

[A]

In that case.

[C]

I could believe it. I mean, say you got 80 years of life in you. That's one every less than one every.

[D]

Two years and miles. Probably in New York City. Probably walk past.

[A]

Yeah, maybe. I mean, if you go to a Garth Brooks concert.

[C]

Oh, yeah, I just saw that conspiracy this morning, actually.

[A]

Where are the bodies, Garth?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Tom Segura a bit, right?

[B]

Yeah. Let my mom go.

[D]

Yeah. If you went to a Bills game in the 70s. That spawn right there?

[B]

Yep. OJ yeah.

[A]

Went to a Florida.

[B]

He wasn't quitted.

[A]

Went to a Florida Gators game in, like, circa 2011 or 12. Like. Yeah, whatever. 2008, you might have not been able. Got like three or four.

[B]

Yeah. Meet and greet. Chris Benoit when I was eight. Oh, no, that's not true.

[A]

I went. I went to a Jets Ravens game growing up. Ray Lewis was a middle linebacker.

[D]

Allegedly. But yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, the thing isn't murderer by law. It's just murderers.

[D]

It's true. It's true.

[A]

So, yeah, I'm probably up to like a baker's dozen by now. Got a lot of life left to live, too.

[D]

I suppose if you get murdered, that would count as walking past.

[A]

Yeah. God, If I'm at 35 and I get murdered and that's how I die, I'm g. Be so stacked. Jacked. Be pumped.

[C]

Jack. Pumped and dead.

[A]

But if you guys know me, that's the way I'd want to go out getting my 36.

[C]

Yeah. Hey, Jack. Job finished. Job not finished.

[A]

Oh, is that it, Jared?

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet your Radio. Have a great week. Oh, I did this on Patreon, too. Luke from the Outdoor Boys Channel is back for three weeks, baby. Go check it out.

[B]

First one's out.

[A]

Yeah, first one's out. Might have to do a view. Little viewing party this weekend. Me and Ashley.

Man, the first video that came out, it was seven and a half million views in three days.

[B]

He's so back. Well, he's not, but he's kind of half back.

[A]

He's a halfback.

[C]

Yeah, I think it's like a night, like 22 minute video.

[B]

Nice.

[C]

Alaskan honey butter or something.

[A]

Yeah. Go check it out. All right, we'll see you next one, guys. I betcha.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Hashtag stump, Miles. Never have to sleep again. Or calories don't count. You'll never feel tired, but can sleep if you want. And you'll never be hungry or feel full and always get the nutrients you need. Whatever you eat.

[B]

Like, all the bread you could have.

[C]

Yeah, but we've been over this many times. The sleep thing to him is.

[A]

I mean, all of our problems are because we're tired.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

Anytime you're having negative thoughts because you're too tired, if you are completely energized, you're having a great day.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Just always be in a great mood.

[B]

But.

[A]

Yeah, just being. But see, like, the food thing, I think food can be a euphoric experience, you know, and part of that euphoric experience is it ending where if you could just eat forever and not get.

[B]

Full, maybe you could eat the. Your favorite foods, even if they are unhealthy.

[C]

Would they be your favorite foods, though, if you ate them a lot? Or is it the novelty of only having them every so often?

[A]

It's like something about, I shouldn't be eating this slice of cheesecake, but it's so good.

[B]

Yeah, you could have. You could have garlic bread every single day. Yeah.

[A]

And then it's like, oh, oh.

[B]

And all of a sudden, Miles is just like, God, dude, celery is pretty good.

[A]

That's what I mean. It's just gonna. It's. I don't want to mess with my food. I'll take no sleep. Yeah.

[D]

Don't you.

[A]

Where you eat.

[B]

This is kind of like the new stunt, Miles. It's just the new beat. No sleep.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Your team. No sleep.

[A]

Yeah, I am currently. Yeah. No sleep till Brooklyn.

[D]

We got a couple of video messages for us. Us? What?

Okay, here's the first one.

[A]

Bet your radio. Congrats on 200 episodes. That's huge. The Shark Tank episode with Ryan. That's my favorite of all time. He's an awesome guy. Anyway, keep it rolling and have a great day. Jesus, how much did that cost for that cameo?

[D]

I have to pull a few strings to get that.

[C]

Well, no, I try to. I try and forget because it just kind of consumes my life at times.

[D]

And I'll play one more.

Being so famous from being on that one Shark Tank episode.

Being famous. Yeah.

That's what he said.

[C]

That's his new investment probably.

[D]

So the Cubes is a patriot.

[C]

I guess it's go Cube.

[A]

What's very funny about that is like you can't just do anyone on the Sora app. Like they have to have uploaded their face. So it's so I'm excited to see who this next.

[D]

I don't know what you're talking about, but yeah, here's the next one w bet radio.

[B]

Congrats on 200 episodes of Patreon. That's huge grinding and I can't wait to fight Ryan. I'll see you soon.

[C]

I'll take a.

[A]

Is this an announcement for episode 200? Well, Jake Paul versus Ryan the T shirt guy.

[C]

Tank Davis just dropped out.

[B]

Goes from Mike Tyson to Ryan.

[A]

Man, that one is actually a very realistic looking face. It actually like looks like him a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I know it's him. Yeah, you're right. Of course it looks like him. Wow. Huge gets. Yeah.

[C]

This is turning out to be a legendary episode. Y200.

[D]

Okay. This is epic. Yep. I tried to get Dana White, but he didn't respond.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Think you could have probably gotten Sam Altman. Trying to think of who? Other people.

[D]

Peter Till. I don't know.

[A]

We could have gotten Martin Luther King Jr. And Stephen Hawking, I guess, but Bob Barker.

[C]

I think Juicy Smollett's looking for work these days.

[A]

Yeah, maybe. I don't think.

[B]

Is he on there?

[A]

Is he on there?

[C]

On where?

[A]

You're just naming.

[C]

I'm just naming people for work.

[D]

Amber heard baby.

[C]

A herd.

[B]

You finally have her at Thanksgiving.

[A]

Yeah, the herd.

[C]

Her and the herd. And Juicy.

[A]

Yeah. Well, that was awesome. That was really. Yeah.

[C]

That was great.

[A]

What a Just not every day. Yeah, it's not every day.

[C]

If they airdrop that to me, I'll send it to my family. If I sent that to my family, I. 90 of them would think it's true.

[D]

You should try it.

[C]

Yeah, I should. Kind of a banger idea.

[D]

All right. Charlie Barrons asks miles. You get $10 million, but you have to raise Ryan as a baby up until he's 18, and that's when you are given the money.

[A]

You doing it for 10 million bucks? Not a chance.

[C]

So I am still who I am. I'm just. I go back to being a baby.

[A]

Yeah. Because to me, like, for me, like, I think adoption is great. I think people should do it, but it's just 100. Not for me. If I'm gonna go through raising a child, like, I want them to come from my loins.

[C]

$10 million.

[B]

I would do it if it was a clone of you.

[A]

I know, but that's. So you're basically what? You're basically doing it for a little more than a half a million. Less than half a million dollars. What's 10. What's 10 million divided by 18 years?

[B]

Numbers, man.

[A]

If it was. If it was 20 years, it would be a half a million dollars a year. Year to raise Ryan.

[C]

And at that point you could just hire a full time nanny to take care of some.

[A]

Good point.

[B]

It's 555,555. Yeah.

[C]

You just have full time.

[A]

It's like, all right, is a half a million dollars to raise Ryan go to his baseball games, you know, like, how absent can I be?

[C]

No, dude, if you would.

[A]

Can I go get milk?

[C]

No. If you wouldn't have showed up for my baseball, I probably would have went pro. Pro. I had something more playful shoulder. Exactly. Yeah, exactly.

[B]

And then he just shown up on his 18th birthday.

[C]

Ricky Bobby.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And then.

[A]

But I would need to release one line to him as a kid that he would base his whole life around, you know, like, win first or you're a loser.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

He base his whole life around that.

[C]

Yeah. Why? Why, why should I show up for you if you're not going to show up for yourself? Yourself.

[A]

Oh, that's good.

[B]

That's.

[A]

That's three.

[C]

Three.

[A]

But you're missing what I'm okay, Advice. Yeah. You're missing kind of what the point of the thing is. You know, I could say something like, if you're not first, you're last. And then you would build your whole life around that. Then I would show up later and say if that's dumb. You could be second, third, fourth or fifth.

[B]

Yeah, you still get paid for those. Reese Bobby completely backtracks on this quote he made up high on peyote.
