Review of 2024 Resolutions

• Tyler planned to be less productive and play more video games, leading to playful banter with Ryan mishearing it as wanting to “be a piece of shit.” The group laughed it off, with Tyler clarifying, “[07:56] Tyler: So if you stay in January too, then you got 11 months. You're like, what am I doing?”

• Jared focused on personal achievements like pulling a fire alarm and solving riddles, which he humorously admits he didn't accomplish: “[30:10] Tyler: Jeez. I just kind of gave up.”

• Future Podcast Segments: The hosts brainstorm ideas for future episodes, including collective discussions on parenting topics like the “birds and bees” talk. Myles suggests, “**[19:08] Miles: So, like, one will get it when they’re 16. One will get them when they’re, you know, six.””

[Ryan]

Hey, we quarter of a century spent in this millennia.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we're from the 1900s, guys.

[Ryan]

We are.

[Miles]

Yeah. I hate to break.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's kind of crazy.

[Miles]

I think we're 1900s, guys. So how you guys feeling about the new year?

[Ryan]

I mean, if I had to describe how I'm feeling, I'd probably be like new Year, new me. I was thinking something. Something like that that just popped into my head.

[Tyler]

New Year, new you.

[Miles]

Well, every single year we try and go New Year, new us.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

And Jared reminded us that we put did some New Year's resolutions last year.

[Jared]

Yep, we did.

[Miles]

So without any further ado, we are going to revisit our New year's resolutions from 2024. And then we're going to set some New year's resolutions for 2025. So Jared, remind the listeners, because we all remember what we said last year.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Remind the listeners of what our New Year's resolution will give a little update.

[Jared]

Okay, I'll start with you, Miles.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Okay, here we go.

[Jared]

Miles is going to lose three pounds in 2024.

[Miles]

Yeah. Boom. D gone.

[Tyler]

Crushed.

[Ryan]

How much did you lose?

[Miles]

Probably 30 to 40 pounds.

[Ryan]

New Year's resolution failed. You said three pounds.

[Tyler]

No, he didn't say New Year's resolution.

[Ryan]

He didn't say at least three pounds.

[Miles]

Smashed it. No. Yeah, that have been funny. Do it like a. A UFC weigh in. Yeah, like have to get a get drop.

[Tyler]

Yeah, exactly. On the. Yeah. Championship.

[Jared]

You said you were gonna gorge yourself before you weighed in for the first time.

[Miles]

Oh, I probably definitely did. Yeah. Then you wouldn't have to change anything.

[Ryan]

You just gotta take a dump.

[Miles]

Just take. Just don't drink a bunch of water and eat a bunch of food right before you weigh in.

[Jared]

Ryan said you're gonna go to Paradiso and gorge yourself.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah. Chips are free. Dinner extra parody. So, yeah. God, I. I went to a Mexican restaurant the other night and I felt like I was gonna throw up. I ate so many chips.

[Miles]

It just. The one unbelievable move by the Mexican restaurants. No one's ever left a Mexican restaurant feeling hungry.

[Tyler]

No.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

No, you still have leftovers.

[Miles]

And that's why. And that's why we keep going back. It's like, wow. You know, Last thing I remember is I was nice and full and happy.

[Ryan]

Satisfied customers 100 of the time.

[Tyler]

Last thing about the Japanese, too, is with the sushi restaurants is you never leave with an empty stomach at.

[Jared]

So good.

[Tyler]

Did that last week too.

[Miles]

Why? Because you go sushi before the main course or what?

[Tyler]

No, sushi is the main course.

[Miles]

No, I know. So why do you. I'm confused how that correlates to the chip thing for the Mexican restaurants.

[Tyler]

It was just. It's just another. Another ethnicity that has. They have restaurants that you never leave hungry from.

[Jared]

I suppose barbecue restaurants are kind of the same.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Same with Texas.

[Miles]

Texas Roadhouse. You always feel good to eat so many buns.

[Tyler]

That's like what we look Texas kind.

[Miles]

Of where we're Olive Garden.

[Tyler]

Okay. Yeah. And the Italy.

[Miles]

Yeah, that I do that. I will get a sushi roll as like an appetizer at a. At a Chinese Japanese restaurant and then eat the main course. And I always feel full.

[Ryan]

I mean, like, miso soup is the breadstick of. Of sushi places.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And a Connie salad usually. Maybe some edamame. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, the. The Italians and the. Those Texans, they sure do it. Do it up as well.

[Ryan]

So you ate out twice last week.

[Tyler]

Mexican restaurant was two weeks ago. Sushi was last week. This week would be Tex. Texan restaurant.

[Miles]

Texan.

[Jared]

Follow up question. Did you have a dc.

[Tyler]

No.

[Miles]

Don't lie.

[Tyler]

No, I, I didn't. I. I can't drink pop when I. I can't drink pop when I eat sushi because I get too full.

[Ryan]

Dude, I'm totally with you. I. I can't eat because I think it with the flavor of the sushi.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I agree. You gotta have a. You gotta have a piece of. You gotta have a piece of ginger in between to cleanse the palate.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't like that water.

[Miles]

It has gotta be exhausting being you having so many stipulations for yourself.

[Tyler]

Well, yeah. And it's easy for me though, because they're already just ingrained. They're ingrained in my head. However, now I think drinking water with sushi, the. The rice absorbs the water. And then I get super full as well. So I might. Might just start having. I could go dry. Could go dry. Or I just have a little rice, rice wine. Little pincher of that.

[Miles]

Why don't you have a little sake?

[Tyler]

Could have a little sake too. Yeah. You didn't bring the bottle around. Wasn't hibachi, but that's fine. So. Yeah.

[Jared]

Miles crunches the numbers and has to lose.008 pounds per day. Quote, I'm gonna eat 29 less calories per day. Miles feels burdened with it because it's a leap year.

[Tyler]

Which I understand.

[Ryan]

Burden.

[Jared]

A burden because it's a leap year.

[Miles]

Because I had to do one extra day of eating 29 calories. Yeah. It was a tough year. 20, 24, with that extra day in there. But I powered through.

[Jared]

Yep. And Miles. Your other one was. Miles wants to shoot a 79 in a golf round.

[Miles]

I did that. I did that.

[Tyler]

California.

[Miles]

Shot a 77.

[Tyler]

Yeah, 77.

[Jared]

Nice.

[Miles]

And it was a real course. It was an executive course or a par 3 course.

[Tyler]

Par 70.

[Ryan]

I wasn't even gonna ask.

[Tyler]

No, I wasn't gonna clarify. Just roll with it.

[Jared]

Mini golf.

[Miles]

Shot a 77 and I tied my dad. So.

[Ryan]

Damn it.

[Miles]

That sucks.

[Tyler]

Oh, Jesus.

[Miles]

And I was ahead by one stroke going into the 18th hole. It was a very narrow fairway at the end, and I pulled out a driver. And my dad goes, you're gonna hit a driver. Smoked it down center of the fairway. Feeling good at this point. Next shot. There was a crick in front of the green. Came up short. Went in the crick. End up getting a double bogey. He bogeyed and we tied.

[Jared]

Damn.

[Miles]

So all I had to do was bogey the hole and I would have. I would have won.

[Ryan]

So held the old man at bay.

[Miles]

To try again this year.

[Jared]

Miles, that's all you had?

[Tyler]

Are we two? We're two for two.

[Miles]

We're 2,000.

[Tyler]

1,000 right now.

[Miles]

Like I said, it was new year. New me.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Big time.

[Jared]

Tyler wants to be less productive and play more video games. Ryan mishears Tyler and says, so you want to be a piece of shit?

[Ryan]

That's such a you thing to say.

[Miles]

Mishears him.

[Tyler]

What do you mean? That's a you thing to say.

[Ryan]

That's just such a piece of shit thing to say.

[Tyler]

That's just that's a logical thing to say. If someone to say.

[Miles]

It's one thing to say I want to play more video games, but to say that I'd like to do less productive things and play more video games. He did kind of get you there. No, that is kind of a piece of thing to say.

[Ryan]

I. I disagree completely.

[Miles]

Why couldn't you be more productive so you had more time to play more video games?

[Tyler]

That's true.

[Ryan]

Because it's my time. I can use it how I please.

[Miles]

Just saying that was that have been maybe the smarter move because we're talking new Year, new me.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I did play more video games. I had two stints where I hit them real hard. When Hogwarts Legacy came out, I absolutely crushed that game.

[Tyler]

And Harry Potter.

[Miles]

Not like I did though.

[Ryan]

We did at the same time, I think I.

[Miles]

You were. You were shocked at how fast I was going through the storyline.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I was doing side missions, leveling my character.

[Tyler]

That's a Harry Potter game.

[Ryan]

So I hammered that to start the new year. And then this fall I played an unhealthy amount of NCAA 25 same, which is significantly more hours than I spent in 2023 playing video games.

[Jared]

Yeah, I think you accomplished it.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

Ryan.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

I think in your future you have some sort of resolution this next year that has to deal with water.

[Tyler]

You are probably correct.

[Miles]

I am. Wow. Well, you know what you should do is you should make sure that you're mixing in an ice mountain with all of that water.

[Ryan]

How much?

[Tyler]

How about 7.8 169 ounce bottles of ice mountain.

[Miles]

I was thinking maybe you could go like, like a half gallon or so, a day of ice mountain.

[Ryan]

Would you take. Take this half gallon of ice mountain or double it and give it to the next person?

[Tyler]

I'll just double it and give it back to myself.

[Jared]

Oh, pay it forward.

[Miles]

So, Dublin. What country is Dublin in?

[Ryan]

Ireland.

[Tyler]

Ireland.

[Miles]

Start calling you the Irishman. Freaking Dublin.

[Tyler]

Dublin.

[Miles]

Freaking Dublin.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So guys, if you'd like to have a New Year's resolution that includes water, like I'm guessing Ryan will, you may be correct. You should pick up some ice mountain and slurp it on down slurping for the new year. That's what I always say. Slurp and chirp and chirp. The New Year's resolution. All right, guys, time to do some prize picks this week. Right now, if you sign up with code ybr, you get fifty dollars instantly when you play your first five dollar lineup. You don't need to win the lineup to receive the 50 bonus. It's just guaranteed. And you know what was guaranteed last week? My Bucky Irving pick. I. It turns out that if you just do a shred of research, you can get a win.

[Tyler]

Just a slice of research.

[Miles]

Now, I wish you guys had done some research because like always, mine is the only one that hit. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Jerry got a DMP, didn't you?

[Jared]

No, I was.

[Tyler]

No. Tyler got DMP.

[Jared]

Yeah, I was like 10 yards short with Carlin Sutton.

[Tyler]

God dang it. I was 90 yards short on mine.

[Miles]

But this is our week. Feeling good about this week? It's incentive week in the NFL. It is. There's playoff implications on the line this week, so take it away. Jared. What. What do you got for your pick?

[Jared]

I have Baker Mayfield more than 268.5 passing yards because he could win like, $2 million this week with incentives.

[Miles]

Okay. I like that.

[Jared]

Be throwing the ball.

[Miles]

Money talks, I believe. Here's Tyler's pick.

[Ryan]

Jared, I've thought long and hard about what I want my prize picks pick to be this week is. And I've decided that I'm not even going to open the app and look at the lines. Just figure out whatever Sam Darnold's passing yards line is and hammer that more.

[Miles]

My pick this week. The thought is Lions defense is banged up. They're playing for the number one seed. Been doing pretty well. He's basically got this line the last four out of five weeks. Got Justin Jefferson at 90 more than 93 and a half receiving yards. He's a big week.

[Tyler]

He's a big game type of guy, too.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Big game guy.

[Tyler]

And lastly, I got Jerry Judy More than 53.5 receiving yards. So it's a respectable pick. I like it. Yeah. In my mind, it's a respectable pick.

[Miles]

I like how you said a respectful pick about yourself. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Throw some respect on.

[Miles]

Yeah. Respect my.

[Jared]

I respect it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So, guys, just. Jefferson, more than 93 and a half. Jerry Judy, more than 53 and a half. Baker Mayfield, 268. More than 268 and a half pass yard. Sam Darnold, more than 269 and a half pass yards. Big week this week.

[Jared]

Big week.

[Miles]

We're going to win, baby.

[Tyler]

Somebody cooked here.

[Ryan]

Three for three.

[Tyler]

I mean, I. Yeah, that was.

[Miles]

That was your only goal.

[Ryan]

I don't know. Did I have another one? Okay.

[Jared]

Tyler doesn't want to be the dad that people look at during sporting events. Fly on the wall, dad. Tyler's planning on going to a wrestling practice where there's no parents allowed. Miles says this isn't going to end well. Tyler is going to be none at the coach's ear.

[Ryan]

No, no, I was good. I was actually. Wrestling was a disaster last year. Kid showed up super excited. Was running around before practice, head on collision with a bigger kid. Like a sixth grader.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And he cut his lip open before the practice.

[Miles]

Before the season even.

[Ryan]

Practice one, we're like 15 minutes early and he's having the time of his fucking life. Just running laps. Smash his heads with this big ass kid. Splits his lip open. Wouldn't go back out there. Didn't.

[Miles]

Didn't play the whole season.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So he didn't want to go out there that first day. I'm like, all right, it's fine. You have if we're gonna stay at practice. So you have to sit by me and watch. No dicking around. We're not gonna distract everybody else. You sit by me and watch. You don't have to go out there. He off the whole time. So then we bounced the first practice and then I gave him two more chances of going and he wouldn't go out there. I mean, he was 4 years old, so I'm cutting him a break. He. I technically lied on his slip to get him in, so.

[Miles]

Yeah, this is not good for you, Tyler.

[Ryan]

Why I didn't.

[Miles]

Because you're a wrestling guy. If your kid doesn't want to wrestle. Tough sledding.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm not like, what if he.

[Miles]

Becomes a basketball kid?

[Ryan]

He. Dude, he might he.

[Tyler]

That for you is like my kid becoming a wrestler. It's just flip.

[Ryan]

I. Yeah, I hate basketball, but I'm. I don't have all my eggs in his basket. My middle child is 1000.

[Miles]

Plan for number two.

[Tyler]

You can't get. You can't give up on your old.

[Ryan]

I'm not. I'm absolutely not. But like, if he doesn't do it.

[Miles]

Giving up on him.

[Ryan]

If he doesn't wrestle, it's fine because I know the second one is gonna.

[Miles]

I mean, the fact that you broug that hit the second one up that fast, clearly you've given up on the first.

[Ryan]

I.

[Jared]

He.

[Ryan]

I'm not going to be sad if he does it because I know the second one is going to Tyler's oldest son.

[Miles]

If you are listening to this, this is the moment we realize that he gave up on you.

[Ryan]

Follow your dreams, buddy. Ride pine. Playing basketball.

[Miles]

Well, you could be, you know, banging down low.

[Ryan]

It ain't his mother's blood either.

[Miles]

You can be banging guys in the Post.

[Ryan]

You know what basketball players do? I don't know what you guys do.

[Miles]

Bang down low. Yeah, they don't back down.

[Tyler]

Did your dad wrestle?

[Ryan]

Yeah, he played basketball, but he was horseshit.

[Tyler]

Well, he was telling those stories at the bar that one night before the MMA fights, they remember they were pulling up old basketball photos from high school.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, yeah, it was awesome.

[Miles]

Are we gonna get to that point where we're just pulling up old photos of us playing?

[Ryan]

You literally just pulled up your stat lines from college while we were in your office.

[Miles]

We talked about that in the podcast, didn't we?

[Jared]

A little bit.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, I think we're almost.

[Miles]

Deadlines are way different than old photos.

[Ryan]

I'm just saying we're almost there.

[Miles]

I know I'm gonna have to pull up some old photos for you guys.

[Tyler]

Well, to me it sounds like, though, it's like it's every other generation wrestling type deal, so it's like maybe I think your grandkids will be wrestlers and your kids will be basketball players like your dad was.

[Ryan]

I. I don't. There's not enough proof in that theory yet because my grandpa just farmed, so I can't tell you if it skips a generation. I was the first one.

[Tyler]

He was probably wrestling hay bales. Wrestling cattle, maybe.

[Miles]

Wrestling cattle.

[Ryan]

He was wrestling grandma way too early.

[Miles]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

I'm the oldest dad in my family, like, ever.

[Tyler]

That's crazy. I got to. I mean, I got really young grandparents and parents too. Talking like late teens.

[Miles]

Yeah. Then you it all up. Your grandparents could have had great, great, great grandchildren like Tyler's dad's gonna have.

[Tyler]

I know.

[Ryan]

No, my. My kids is great. Great grandma came to Christmas.

[Jared]

That's wild.

[Ryan]

She's 93.

[Miles]

So in your scenario, are you planning on giving the talk early or late? Because if you do it early, might make them curious. They might start, you know, trying to experiment. But, you know, if you go later, then you might not even expose them as much. What's your plan?

[Ryan]

So I think my dad did it right because I broke the. The teenage pregnancy curse.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

He didn't give me any talk.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

His talk was, I asked him about it. He's like, whoa. You ever see two dogs humping? Like, yeah. He's like, that's what it is. Like, that was end of. That was the birds and the bees and.

[Miles]

How old were you?

[Ryan]

I was probably. I knew what sex was at the time, so I was probably like 15 or 16. I'm like, I'm.

[Miles]

And did that talk pique your Interest or make you not want it?

[Ryan]

I was already interested.

[Miles]

Okay, but did it increase your interest? Were you, like, a dog in heat after that or.

[Ryan]

I was. I was fully in heat pre. Pre Dogs humping birds and bees speech.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Does your, like. Does your posture match a dog's posture with, like, the arch.

[Jared]

Super arch red rocket?

[Miles]

Yeah, I guess.

[Jared]

Good.

[Ryan]

The hair in my back stands up.

[Jared]

Back your neck.

[Miles]

Maybe we should do that. I'm gonna. Sorry, I was thinking of my own head.

[Ryan]

Happy New Year, New Year, New me.

[Miles]

You guys can shoot this down if you want, but just a thought I had. Why don't we all share the responsibility and we pick an age, and whenever each of our kids gets that age, we'll bring them on the. We'll bring them on the podcast. They don't even have to be on camera. And we. We all collectively can give them the birds and bees talk.

[Tyler]

I think we brought that up. We just had. We just get it all done at once.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah. We'll get, like, certified with cpr. Get the birds of bees talk.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. Just do all the kids at once. You're right. So, like, one will get it when they're 16. One will get them when they're, you know, six. Regardless, let's just pull them all together. Do it like a seminar.

[Ryan]

We'll just rip the band aid off.

[Tyler]

We will have quite the age gap, though, because, like, say Tyler's oldest kid is. Say it's 14 at this time. Like, my youngest kid could be three or four. Whatever.

[Miles]

I'm saying, dude, it's.

[Ryan]

Get it done early with him.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's true.

[Miles]

We can do all sorts of things. We can do the death talk as well. Death talk, sex talk.

[Jared]

Taxes, I guess.

[Ryan]

Taxes gonna teach it to him in school?

[Miles]

Well, taxes and compounding interests. Gotta teach him about that. Double SMPs, doubles every seven years. You know, all that stuff. Yeah.

[Tyler]

We could do slideshows. We could do. We could do the whole works.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. Ryan will be in charge of the demonstration.

[Jared]

Those goes you can use.

[Miles]

You can use visual aids. You don't have to demonstrate with yourself, per se.

[Tyler]

Can I use, like.

[Miles]

But you could be in charge of.

[Tyler]

Barbie dolls or, like, something like that.

[Miles]

Hey, that's. I've delegated.

[Ryan]

Not anatomically correct.

[Miles]

I've delegated that.

[Ryan]

You just can't confuse them.

[Tyler]

What do you mean? What do you mean?

[Ryan]

If you use a Barbie doll, they don't have any genitals. You just have to confuse the kids. They get a sex talk here all.

[Miles]

Of our boys are going to grow up thinking that women just don't have anything. Use Barbie dolls.

[Jared]

It's not made of plastic.

[Ryan]

What the hell is that?

[Miles]

T shirt guy lied to me. Yeah. So Ryan will be part of the. Will be in charge of the visual aids. Jared can handle the questions portion. I'll just do the intros. You know, like, I'll just. You'll read the headings. Well, welcome to Sex 101. You know, we have Ryan. He'll be part of doing the visual aids. Jared will be handling questions at the end. And you guys want to introduce. You have to do a fun fact about yourself as well to break the ice.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

And then Tyler will do the whole dog's humping speech. And then, you know, we'll just knock it all out at once.

[Tyler]

Yeah, like 10th grade biology. We could even play a video.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Wheel in the cart.

[Ryan]

Did they play a video for you?

[Tyler]

Sorry, sorry. They. We played the childbirth video. It was a childbirth video, but I mean, you see everything.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And then, you know, kind of like a fireside chat. You're seeing those. We could do a fireside chat with the guy who does sex the best, and that'd be Tyler because he's gonna have the most kids by then.

[Ryan]

I should.

[Miles]

So, like, we'll both sit in like a, you know, like a nice chair with like a. With like a fern behind us and a thing. And have. I'll be the mc, The. The person running the show and ask you questions.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I thought you were gonna say we, like. I thought you meant let's have a live chat. So you can. Then you can have live chat. Questions coming in from the live stream could do that. The best part, everyone's like, W in the chat.

[Miles]

We could have the.

[Tyler]

Tyler's kids, like W in the chat for that one.

[Miles]

We could have the patrons submit their own advice.

[Ryan]

I was just thinking, like Jack Stroganoff asks, has your dad found your nudie mags yet?

[Tyler]

Yeah. We could just go through patron names and just describe what they actually in real life.

[Miles]

Well, and with the visual aids, Ryan, we also want them to be cultured. So we can't just be showing them new boobs. We need to be showing them, like, Pam Anderson's boobs.

[Ryan]

Sure taste well, like classic.

[Tyler]

It's just like. Like you got to sit down and watch Sandlot with your kid. It's like the classic of all classics. Just like Pam, Andy, you know, it's like at a.

[Miles]

Like a family reunion when they had the slideshow of all the stuff throughout the years. We just do boobs through the years.

[Tyler]

Through the years. Yeah.

[Miles]

And then it's just a slideshow with some sappy music behind it. You know, culturing our children into what it is. How we got to boobs today is really what it's all about.

[Ryan]

I, I thought I might have told this on the podcast already, but that Pam and Tom Tommy biopic they did on Hulu or whatever, I was watching that when mom was gone one day. And there's the scene where you see the actress Pam Andy's boobies and my three year old walk through the room at the time and just stopped like a deer in headlights. And I was just like, that's my boy.

[Tyler]

Well, like two years before that he, he had access to those suckers.

[Ryan]

Like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, the same thing every day.

[Miles]

Those suckers.

[Tyler]

Not Pam, Andy, you guys.

[Miles]

You know what I mean? Talk about Tyler's wife.

[Tyler]

No.

[Ryan]

Well, I mean they quite literally are suckers at that point in their lives.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

They are basically just called Tyler's wife a human lollipop.

[Tyler]

I mean like our all wives are. Okay, I don't need, I don't need to explain. I don't need to explain myself.

[Miles]

So what was Ryan's New Year's resolutions?

[Ryan]

I achieved.

[Tyler]

Yeah. What. What was the percentage?

[Ryan]

I'm 100.

[Tyler]

You had two of them. More video games. And what was the other one?

[Ryan]

Not getting the coach's ear, which I did not do.

[Jared]

Tyler's want to be the dad that people look at during sporting events.

[Miles]

Okay, but. But what other parents had to been looking at you with your kids was sitting out. They were probably going, why the isn't that kid.

[Tyler]

Right now?

[Miles]

Why did that guy show if his kid's not going to participate? Why is he showing up watching four year old wrestling practice? Okay, there had to have been some murmur.

[Ryan]

There's a kid in my lap.

[Tyler]

Tyler, here's a. I, I have one loophole to this to, to this resolution and that is it's a. No parents practice allowed because you were there. Technically you were a coach.

[Ryan]

No. So I was wrong on all that. Parents were. There was 50 parents.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Okay, that clears.

[Ryan]

They literally lined the entire wall of the wrestling room.

[Jared]

So hot in there.

[Ryan]

And also, it wasn't a sporting event. That's just practice. We didn't even go to a sporting event.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

He didn't even make it.

[Ryan]

No, that was the rule.

[Miles]

You make it to the, to the, to a match or whatever. The duel or whatever.

[Tyler]

A duel is a team. Like it's.

[Miles]

You didn't make it. Even make it to a duel. He didn't even make it to practice one.

[Ryan]

You know, he. He wanted. He's like, hey, can I still wrestle in the match? I'm like, no, you gotta practice.

[Miles]

No, that's the right stance.

[Tyler]

Because if you would have let him. If you would have let him wrestle and he would have dominated, then he's like, well, I don't need to practice at all.

[Miles]

He had been like. Then he would just grow up like Pac Man Jones. Just show up 20 minutes before a kickoff. Don't stretch, go out there, return and punt for a touchdown. Yeah, yeah, you want your kid to be that.

[Tyler]

So good on you.

[Ryan]

No, I absolutely wouldn't let him.

[Jared]

Ryan said he's gonna watch the office.

[Tyler]

I did not do that.

[Ryan]

Damn it. We were 100.

[Tyler]

I. I heard.

[Miles]

Killing it.

[Tyler]

I heard little snippets, like, from, you know, the kitchen, from the living room.

[Ryan]

So wait, Meg watched it or what?

[Tyler]

She turns it on from time to time. Maybe like once a quarter. Like, I don't know when she's back, when she's vacuuming.

[Miles]

Hey, how many stats you have about your life?

[Ryan]

And they're all quarterly stats.

[Miles]

Number once in a while, a couple months. It's always very exact. And then he always gets into trouble when he doesn't behave. I know the exact number.

[Tyler]

I know, I know. I gotta quit doing that guy. Quit being definitive.

[Miles]

That might be your next New Year's resolution. I don't want to put resolutions in your mouth.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, just quit being definitive. Yeah, I didn't watch the office.

[Jared]

Yeah, I figured. Ryan wants to have the most plush grass on the block. Ryan says it's subjective, so he agrees to have us judge whether he completed his goal or not.

[Tyler]

God.

[Miles]

Been nice to revisit that little earlier in the year.

[Tyler]

Okay, No, I mean, I definitely, just definitely didn't achieve that.

[Miles]

Oh. It wasn't even up for tribal council or.

[Ryan]

I was just gonna say I. I pulled it for.

[Tyler]

I pulled it from my submission.

[Ryan]

I was gonna say, because I. I don't remember what your neighbor's yards look like, but this year, your yard wasn't as nice as it was in 2023.

[Tyler]

2023. It was kind of pretty dog in 2023 because it was so dry, but you had.

[Ryan]

You had more dog stains.

[Miles]

When I saw it, I. I said, I thought in my head, ryan, you really doing your best out there, you know, I.

[Tyler]

Okay, so is this your best work?

[Miles]

Is what I thought in my head, yeah.

[Tyler]

The answer was absolutely not No, I. I did not foresee myself building a house and selling my house this year. So I'll be honest. I did get. I kind of just gave up.

[Miles]

You. You were. You're playing for the next house. He said that at some point.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I just kind of might have been off Mike. Kind of gave up on it. I didn't run my sprinklers a single time this entire summer. Got a lot of rain then didn't. So I was dry. And I'm like, well, it's. It's. It's August. I'm not gonna start my sprinklers now. So. Yeah, that one is a failure.

[Jared]

Ryan is also going to sharpen his blades before every mole. Miles wants a Snapchat. Every time Ryan sharpens his blades, guess.

[Miles]

How many Snapchats I got this year?

[Jared]

Goose egg.

[Tyler]

I didn't sharpen them a single time.

[Ryan]

I think I remember offering to borrow you. My grinder. Dude.

[Tyler]

My dad's got one. I don't know why.

[Ryan]

I think that's exactly how you responded.

[Tyler]

Probably pro.

[Miles]

I mean, that was an ambitious, ambitious New Year's resolution.

[Tyler]

I just. I was just creating more work for myself with that resolution, and it's just unnecessary.

[Miles]

So this year you knew that. I knew he wasn't gonna do that.

[Jared]

Yeah, exactly.

[Tyler]

This year I'm gonna have necessary things on the resolution.

[Miles]

Okay. I'm excited.

[Tyler]

25.

[Jared]

All right.

[Tyler]

Got some good ones.

[Miles]

Jared, is that all of his.

[Jared]

He's got one more. Ryan.

[Tyler]

Jesus Christ.

[Jared]

Ryan is going to think about building a juco college in Guatemala.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Jared]

You're gonna think about.

[Tyler]

The curriculums didn't line up.

[Miles]

So what's very funny about that is that's close. Not close, but kind of close to one I got this year. So sorry.

[Tyler]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Curriculums just didn't match up. Difference in opinion. So I. We.

[Miles]

Oh, it fell through.

[Tyler]

Fell through.

[Jared]

But you thought about it.

[Tyler]

Did.

[Jared]

So I think that's.

[Ryan]

Check that one off.

[Tyler]

Did.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Jared]

I think I got that.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

So I.

[Tyler]

If I'm not definitive on things. Things go good. I was over Jared.

[Ryan]

What were yours?

[Jared]

Mine was pull a fire alarm.

[Ryan]

Did you?

[Jared]

I didn't.

[Miles]

Both.

[Ryan]

Damn it.

[Jared]

I was down.

[Ryan]

What a rush that is, though.

[Jared]

I've thought. I did. I did think about it.

[Miles]

How many fire alarms? It's not. Tyler. This question isn't have you pulled a fire alarm in your life? The question is, how many fire alarms have you pull in your life?

[Ryan]

I've never pulled. I caused one.

[Miles]

Wait. Well, yeah.

[Ryan]

With that. Who ripping the pipe out of the ceiling.

[Miles]

So one.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Though I didn't pull the alarm. I pulled the pipe down that.

[Miles]

Pulled the alarm.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yep. So one. Yeah.

[Miles]

See, I knew it.

[Ryan]

I wasn't.

[Miles]

It's like. It's like, all right, one person in this room's set off a fire alarm. Tyler.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, it's like pulling the actual fire alarm is a Dylan move.

[Miles]

Do it like they do with banks. When you steal money and you open it up, you get splattered with ink.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

They go. They should make it. So every time you pull it, whoever pulls it's getting splattered with ink. And if there's an actual fire, you're not that worried about getting splattered, I think. So that's where it's like. I think it could work out. All it takes is one person to pull it, get splattered with ink, it all be a joke, and next thing you know.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You could just show up to school one day in garbage bags. Just pretend like you're gonna go cut weight for wrestling or something.

[Miles]

Or just stand to the side and go like this.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

That would also spray your arch enemy and also pull fire alarm at the same time.

[Miles]

That would be a double whammy prank.

[Jared]

Two stones. Mine was solve a riddle. I kind of did that on that episode we were on.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I think we.

[Miles]

I think it was a disaster, though.

[Jared]

I didn't actually solve that. It was the. David's father has three sons. Snap.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah. I remember that. I had my brain in a pretzel.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah. Who was. Who was the mom? I. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

What was the fourth son's name?

[Jared]

Yeah, the third. Yeah. David's father has three sons now. Yep. Crackle and blank.

[Ryan]

So it'd be Pop. Yeah. No, it's David.

[Miles]

David's mom, she had a son. Continue on, Jared.

[Jared]

No, that's not all I got.

[Miles]

I know. I was just joking. I feel like those are always the answers that whoever's. Mom.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You're thinking of, like, the one where the kitten is. The kid and his father get in a car accident, they rush him to the hospital, and the doctor says, I can't operate on this child. He's my son. And then people are like, how is that possible? Like, well, that doctor's his mom.

[Miles]

Oh, something like that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So what were we? You were all for two.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Miles]

You were all for four.

[Tyler]

One for four, one for four, two for two.

[Miles]

And I was two for two.

[Jared]

We got it.

[Miles]

Four, five, five, four, eight, nine, ten. We were five for 1050. Hey, what were we the year before, do you know?

[Jared]

It wasn't good. That's why we set lower goals.

[Miles]

Yeah, Yeah, I think we talked about that.

[Jared]

Yeah, I think we only hit like two or one of the goals, if.

[Miles]

I remember correctly, set our goals lower. So that's why Ryan said he's going to sharpen his blades every time.

[Tyler]

You're just gonna sharp twice this year.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Hey, the first one in the books. There we go.

[Jared]

I think you should make it more simple. Like you're gonna get a grinder to borrow the grinder.

[Miles]

You gotta start.

[Tyler]

Yeah, my parents live with me, though.

[Miles]

All right, so that was 2024, 50%. That's gotta be up from the year before.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I think it was like 20% the year before. For some reason, to, like, only two resolutions achieved sticks out in my head.

[Jared]

Yeah, something like that.

[Ryan]

Oh, oh, I remember because the year before Miles was gonna get cut.

[Jared]

That was two years ago.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Achieved.

[Miles]

All right, so.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Resolutions. 2025. You guys ready? You got them?

[Tyler]

I got them.

[Miles]

All right, I'll start off number one. This one's easy. Been talking about it for a while, but 2025 is the year that I stain the entryway.

[Ryan]

Ben, I love it.

[Miles]

It's gonna get done. Go scope. No, I. I didn't say that I was gonna it this year. I just said I'm gonna stain it. All right. I just. Oh, yeah, I want to put that out there. I don't want any next year. Oh, you didn't put around the. I didn't say that.

[Jared]

That's a 2026.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I didn't say I was gonna put trim up on the ship lap either, so.

[Miles]

No, you didn't.

[Ryan]

I mean, you can't check off everything in your list in one year.

[Miles]

You gotta say, and if I go too fast. Yeah, Like, Anne's gonna be like, well, why don't you do this too? And then your list just keeps getting longer.

[Ryan]

Well, if you.

[Tyler]

Yeah, if you stay in January too, then you got 11 months. You're like, what am I doing?

[Ryan]

First?

[Miles]

I'm thinking. I'm thinking it's probably like a November, early December project.

[Ryan]

Well, because first you got to get some.

[Miles]

Well, probably not, because a lot of hunting going on in November, and then I got to get ready for Christmas.

[Jared]

It's football season.

[Miles]

So I'm thinking maybe January 1, 2026, I have time to get day off of work.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe Labor Day. You should do it on Labor Day. But you can't work on Labor Day. Because that's the whole point.

[Miles]

Yeah, they should call it non Labor Day.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah, but so that's my number one. Number two, it's very similar to the Guatemalan thing you did. Okay, I want air. I gotta read it. Oh, I am gonna start the process of starting the process of thinking about having another kid.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Miles]

It's big steps, this.

[Tyler]

Okay, so you're gonna start the process.

[Miles]

Of starting the process. Start of thinking about having another kid.

[Ryan]

Is that.

[Miles]

I figure it's the right time. My kid's like a little over six months old now. You know, it's a great time to start the process. To start the process of thinking about having another kid, Kim.

[Tyler]

Okay, so a couple steps to check off before we can get to actually thinking about.

[Miles]

So then 2026, I could probably start the process of thinking about having another kid.

[Ryan]

2027, you can think about think about having another kid.

[Miles]

2028 could have another kid. I don't want to schedule sex, but 2028 looks like the next best time.

[Tyler]

Well, if you can schedule tummy aches, you can schedule sex.

[Ryan]

Yeah, fair enough.

[Miles]

That's true. That is true. I'll have to put on my G cow after the podcast.

[Jared]

You wouldn't want unscheduled sex.

[Miles]

Spur of the moment sex is the worst, you know, like, oh, the moment just suddenly was right. We had sex. That's the worst. You gotta force it, you know, you gotta find a spark. You don't want to have a fire just all of a sudden combust in front of you. You wanna. You gotta. You gotta strike that flint until you gotta fire, you know?

[Tyler]

Well, yeah, it's got to contribute to a bigger purpose, too. That's having, you know.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. You're not just doing fun sex, you know, that's crazy. I mean, that would be.

[Tyler]

If you're doing that, you're wacko.

[Ryan]

So, I mean, that's gonna be lesson number one when we get the kids in here for the talk.

[Tyler]

You don't have sex for fun. You have it for a purpose.

[Miles]

It's a utility. It's a tool in your tool belt. So, yeah, 2028 is going to be a big year for this guy.

[Jared]

Yeah, you should have high tea by then because we trained for the Olympics.

[Miles]

That is true.

[Jared]

Be full gear by that.

[Miles]

Well, actually, probably 2028 is the time because I can't be risking not missing the Olympics to have another kid. So I gotta split the diff between now and the Olympics.

[Ryan]

Well, I might actually get you more Olympic coverage. They love a good Story. So if you're having a kid while you're curling.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, Rico.

[Miles]

So I figure I'm on the right timeline, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Sounds good to me.

[Miles]

2028. Huge year.

[Ryan]

Is that all yours?

[Miles]

Oh, no. And then the other one, you're not.

[Ryan]

Proud of this one?

[Miles]

No, just it's a little out of left field. I saw, you know, you've seen the guys on Tik Tok that are solving a Rubik's Cubes, like, really fast.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I'll put my hand up and say that I've never actually solved a Rubik's Cube myself.

[Jared]

That's a good one.

[Miles]

And so in 2025, I'd like to solve a Rubik's Cube. And I'm not. I'm not one. I'm not gonna cheat and look up YouTube videos on which the best way to do it. It's just going to be me and the cube in a room. I think it's best if it's me, the cube in a room, and I can't leave that room until I solve it. You know, like, I'm. I'm best when I'm backed into a corner. And that's the way I'll be standing. I'll be. My back will be the corner of the room. So quite literally, I'm going to be backed into a corner. It's gonna be me in the cube, no one else, no distractions. And I'm gonna solve that sucker just.

[Tyler]

In that room, twisting and turning.

[Ryan]

So there's like a psychological question. It's like, would you rather go to prison for a year? Like, exactly a year. Or go to prison until you solve a Rubik's cube?

[Miles]

I would much rather go to a prison until I solve a Rubik's Cube.

[Ryan]

I mean, I agree.

[Miles]

I'm willing to lock myself in a room and not leave until. Right. That's basically doing that second scenario. There's a lot volunteering for that.

[Ryan]

There's a lot of people that would that take the year and say. Because they don't think they can get it done, they.

[Miles]

Kids do it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

That's insane.

[Tyler]

I. I mean, I think I could have one done by the end of today if I started right now. I'm saying 12. I'm saying 12 minutes.

[Miles]

Text Noah. Tell him to go buy a Rubik's Cube. He's not going home.

[Tyler]

I'm saying 12 midnight.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

And this is a. This is a.

[Miles]

We could even do a Patreon, maybe pick a date. And we'll just. Just will. Just Record me in the studio here in the corner of the room. And I'll just go until I solve it. And that could be whether it's 30, 30 seconds or 30 minutes or 30 hours or days. That could be a whole, we can do a whole production for Patreon. So book that Jared.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Now when you, when you buy a Rubik's cube, is it our, Is it already like finished? And then you gotta.

[Jared]

I think it's already.

[Miles]

I'll let you guys, you guys are gonna be the ones to mess it up. I, I, this is actually, this would be a perfect room. I said I want to be in a room by myself. You guys go in that room. You can watch through the viewing glass.

[Ryan]

We gotta make this the, the mirror, the one way glass.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that would be good. Yeah. Put you in an interrogation room.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So I don't know, just something on my bucket list. You know, I figured no better time than the present year.

[Tyler]

Well, it's kind of like a troll. It's like a trophy too. You got, you could put it in a glass case. When it's all said and done, we.

[Miles]

Can put it right up next to Big Blue's air.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

You put like epoxy on it so nobody can mess it up.

[Miles]

Yeah. So it's solved forever. Not a bad idea actually.

[Tyler]

Who do you think could solve a Rubik's cube fastest out of us. For Tyler. I agree.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

It's just got that weird nerd.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I've never.

[Tyler]

I think you could beat us. Everyone.

[Miles]

You're a complex guy.

[Ryan]

I, I've never really sat down and actually tried it. I mean, I've around with one before.

[Miles]

So you're saying that's also your New Year's res.

[Ryan]

I can add, I'll add it to the list.

[Miles]

No, don't try and steal mine.

[Ryan]

I'm not.

[Miles]

This is my year. It was a year my year.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Who do you think in this room would win at a game of checkers?

[Miles]

Well, I'm always playing chess, so I don't, I, I don't. I necess be that great at checkers.

[Jared]

I'm really good at Chinese checkers.

[Ryan]

Oh, I love Chinese checkers. That's fun. I think it's way more fun than regular checkers.

[Jared]

Oh, same.

[Miles]

Never played it.

[Jared]

So much fun.

[Tyler]

I haven't either.

[Ryan]

H. We'll get you in a game.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Miles]

So those are the three that I have. Stay in the bench, start the process of starting the process of thinking about having another kid. And then I Would like to solve a Rubik's Cube.

[Jared]

Lofty.

[Miles]

Some people willing to go to jail for a year.

[Jared]

That's true.

[Tyler]

Cats. Absurd. You want me to go next?

[Miles]

Sure.

[Tyler]

I got. I mean, the ones I have on my list this year, they're. They're serious. They're not some joke like previous years trying to get a laugh out of.

[Ryan]

Starting at Chuko, Guatemala. Wasn't serious?

[Tyler]

No, the. I have three on my list and they are all three. They're all three attainable and they're all serious. Okay. Because I. The new year, new me. I'm a serious guy.

[Jared]

Are they serious?

[Tyler]

They're serious.

[Miles]

Is it maybe getting a serious subscription for your truck?

[Tyler]

No. God no. I just. I. I'm a free subscription for 3 months type of guy. When I get. Unless I get a new vehicle if I total the one that I'm currently in.

[Miles]

Like.

[Jared]

You're on track too.

[Tyler]

I know.

[Ryan]

A couple doors away, a couple light poles away.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You have one life.

[Miles]

That be funny. He's leaving. He's like, new. New. Serious subscription would be nice. You just see him pinponging between the light poles on the way out on the road out of here.

[Ryan]

I really got to get some 90s on 90 in my system.

[Miles]

You got to listen to the highway.

[Tyler]

Okay. You guys are gonna. You guys are gonna.

[Miles]

Or let's. That's just.

[Tyler]

Okay. My first New Year's resolution. Resolution for 2025 is to complete 75 hard.

[Jared]

And what is that?

[Tyler]

So 75 hard is 75 straight days of one. One workout and then one additional workout that's got to be outside.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

45 minutes each. No booze, gallon of water a day, 10 pages of a book per day. And let's see what else is there.

[Ryan]

Isn't it like no screens after a certain time?

[Tyler]

No. Here, I gotta. I'll pull it up real quick. I got it. I got it. Already saved.

[Ryan]

My sister did. Made it.

[Tyler]

You gotta follow it. You gotta follow a diet. So I might go carnivore?

[Ryan]

Hell yeah.

[Miles]

Careful.

[Tyler]

You might develop gout and then take progress pictures. So I'll send you guys my progress pictures every morning.

[Ryan]

If you just tell me, I'll believe you.

[Jared]

Yeah. I don't want this.

[Miles]

Yeah. He ain't ever sending a progress pick. He said he was gonna send me a Snapchat of him sharpening his blades.

[Ryan]

Every time he didn't sharpen them. So that's how I snap. You.

[Miles]

That's.

[Tyler]

I didn't see him snap.

[Ryan]

So I think you can do it. I don't think you need to do it, but I think you can.

[Miles]

I think you should have started with 75 soft.

[Ryan]

I'll do 75 hard.

[Tyler]

It would have been like one bottle of ice Mountain a day, easy. One workout a week, easy. One finish, one book a year.

[Miles]

No, no, no. Just buy a book.

[Tyler]

Just buy a book within the 70.

[Miles]

Put it on your nightstand.

[Tyler]

You put it on the nightstand? Yep. And then put a bookmark right inside the front cover. And then just, Just eat. Yeah, just eat like I normally would. Yeah. And then I can just take progress pictures after I get shot. Yeah. Just for fun, you know.

[Ryan]

That's 75 flaccid.

[Miles]

Yeah, I, I think I could do 75 flaccid.

[Ryan]

Easy peasy.

[Tyler]

Oh, God. I've been doing.

[Miles]

No, the hardest part is that you just, you can't get hard though. The whole 75. That's the hard part. About 75 flaccid is that you have to be flaccid for 75 days. And every time you get hard, you have to start over.

[Ryan]

Ryan's afraid to sleep because he doesn't want to wake up with morning wood.

[Tyler]

And start over again.

[Miles]

By the. No, I think by the end of the year he's got 365 books and nothing to show for it.

[Tyler]

No, I think you just have to be flaccid in the progress pictures. If you take one hard progress picture, you have to restart back to day one.

[Jared]

Just looking at yourself.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're just, you're just hard for 24 hours. You're like, damn it. Yeah, just start over.

[Tyler]

So. Yeah, that's, that's my first one. I just, I gotta get back.

[Miles]

When are you planning to do it?

[Tyler]

Wednesday.

[Miles]

Oh, you're starting right away. Day one.

[Ryan]

The outdoor workouts in January. Yeah.

[Jared]

It's gonna be bold.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's gonna suck.

[Miles]

Such a mistake.

[Tyler]

You can go for a 45 minute walk. That, that, that's considered a workout.

[Jared]

Why would you do it like in the spring, summer? Cuz can't you count golf, like, as another outdoor activity?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I'd have to walk though. I don't, I don't walk on golf course.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

Yeah. What do you do if there's a blizzard?

[Ryan]

Figure it out.

[Tyler]

I would probably open the back door in my garage. Do a yoga session.

[Miles]

You're inside, but the door open.

[Tyler]

But the door is open.

[Miles]

Just doesn't count. So you're going to do 75, but the door rare.

[Tyler]

The door's open though.

[Ryan]

You're still inside.

[Jared]

It's not the ele.

[Tyler]

I mean, I would just. The serious answer to that is I would. I'm just. I would just go for. I would just bundle up and go for a walk.

[Ryan]

Well, could you shovel for 45 minutes instead of snow blow?

[Miles]

There we go.

[Tyler]

I could.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That would count in my book.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I. I mean, my whole goddamn yard will be shoveled by the winter.

[Ryan]

It shovel like a racetrack for your dog to run around in the snow.

[Tyler]

It's not a bad idea.

[Ryan]

Huh?

[Tyler]

Not a bad idea. I could build an igloo for my kid.

[Miles]

You were saying? You just got to get back into working out.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

See, my concern though is, Ryan, is you're going to do 75 hard and then you're just going to quit working out after.

[Tyler]

No, because the habit will be deeply ingrained in me by then, so. And I've been in the habit that the habit before for years on end.

[Ryan]

Are you going to get into 365 hard?

[Tyler]

Oh, no, I'll loosen up. I'm going to loosen up. Up big time. I'm gonna quit reading after the first 75 days.

[Miles]

75 soft, then.

[Tyler]

Well, no, I'm gonna go 75. 75 hard. And then I'm gonna go two and then I'm gonna go.

[Miles]

Let's. Let's see this.

[Tyler]

290. I'll go 75 hard and then 290 ish. Without reading again.

[Ryan]

Medium.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but mentally I'll be hard.

[Ryan]

You just won't see on day 76, you're gonna get ripped up, right?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

No, probably not.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

All right.

[Tyler]

What do you mean by like drunk? When I hear ripped up my. I think my college buddies being cross.

[Ryan]

You're going to get hammered. You. You'll. You'll have some drinks on day 76.

[Tyler]

March 16th. It's a Sunday. It'll be the last day.

[Jared]

Easter.

[Miles]

Okay. March 16th. The next day is St. Patty's Day.

[Tyler]

Perfect.

[Ryan]

Hell yeah.

[Jared]

Oh, man.

[Ryan]

Great timing.

[Miles]

Find out why they did it when.

[Tyler]

But when do they do people celebrate? So say would be on Monday would have la.

[Miles]

Doing it last year would. Sucks.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Thank God I put it off till this year. Put it off for the last 365 days.

[Miles]

There you go.

[Tyler]

So.

[Miles]

All right. What's your next resolution?

[Tyler]

My next New Year's resolution is in 2025. I just want to shoot a deer.

[Ryan]

Okay. Done.

[Tyler]

I think very attainable. That can be bow, rifle. I mean rifle. I may not even get a tag.

[Ryan]

So I could poach one. You didn't say legally.

[Tyler]

Yeah, legally. I will I'll have a tag to put it on there. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I haven't tried a deer since 2021, so. Drought, lack of tag. Lack. Lack of tags. Can't get up.

[Ryan]

So what happens if you don't get drawn? North Dakota. You going to do out of state or what?

[Tyler]

Bohan, North Dakota.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Over the counter.

[Tyler]

Yep. Over the Internet, in the mail.

[Miles]

Otc.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Over the virtual counter.

[Tyler]

So, yeah, I. I'm getting more into this, like, primal phase of life. I kind of want to, like, just get my. My freezer stocked full of meat. I kind of want to live. I want to try and live of what. I don't know what the word for it is, but, like, growing your own food and.

[Ryan]

And homesteading kind of.

[Tyler]

Kind of, yeah.

[Miles]

You're freaking me out a little bit.

[Tyler]

Because I'm gonna be living in the country now.

[Miles]

How many tick tocks have you been watching? A Huberman.

[Ryan]

It all starts.

[Miles]

What was the Liver King.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Goggins it. You're. You're starting to worry me a little bit.

[Tyler]

You can't put liver king and goggins in the same sentence. First off.

[Ryan]

How dare you?

[Miles]

Yeah, I just. I'm getting a little worried.

[Tyler]

I can't help where.

[Miles]

I would like. Jared, I would like to stamp this moment right here. So next year we talk about this. Say I want. Depending on who he is. I was worried and I tried. I try. I. You know, it's kind of like when something sketchy's going on. You're like, no one said anything. This is me saying something right now.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. Getting on the old hoping. Tyler, you're. You're on board with that?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. You shooting a deer for sure.

[Tyler]

Like the idea of homesteading.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm. I'm not ever gonna choose it on purpose. I'd like to like mini homestead.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I'm not gonna go full homestead. I don't have time to raise a garden like that. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Chicken coop.

[Miles]

And I think what you're doing is good. I'm on board with it. It's a slippery slope.

[Jared]

Slope.

[Miles]

You know, next thing I know, you're gonna have. You're gonna be like, more, man, it all started. Or homeschooling your kid or home kid or what? Amish.

[Jared]

I didn't catch that either.

[Miles]

Amish in no time. You mean showing up to work on a horse?

[Ryan]

Hey, the Amish make quality product.

[Tyler]

They got lot of money, too.

[Ryan]

It's in cash in their coffee cans, under the bed.

[Miles]

Well, the top people have all the cash.

[Tyler]

Well, I can't grow a beard to save my life.

[Miles]

That's where he's out.

[Tyler]

That's where I'm out. That's where I get booted from the colony.

[Miles]

You also didn't put any trim on your ship lap. And that would have been a huge no no in the Amish.

[Ryan]

You also didn't.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that wouldn't, that wouldn't have sold in the Amish gallery.

[Ryan]

You also didn't hand mill your ship lap.

[Tyler]

No, I've just bought it from the hardware store.

[Miles]

I, I, I know there's a lot of steps between 75 hard and being Amish.

[Ryan]

It's awesome.

[Miles]

But. But it's got to start somewhere. And 75 hard's a great spot. Spots start.

[Ryan]

We could track this back. I bet this all started when Meg started doing sourdough at the house.

[Miles]

No, this is when he started doing his own sushi rolls. That's where it all started.

[Ryan]

Yep. Or I was gonna be doing, like, walleye sushi rolls.

[Miles]

I just. Hey, slippery slope.

[Tyler]

Yeah. No. Hey, you know, it shows you guys care about me.

[Miles]

I do.

[Tyler]

You know, we don't want to lose.

[Miles]

Our guy, you know?

[Tyler]

No. For sure. And you, you won't.

[Miles]

We don't want to lose our guy.

[Tyler]

If anything, like, we don't want to lose.

[Miles]

Right. Mood Ryan. That would be an absolute lose.

[Ryan]

Well, we're gonna lose him for 75 days.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's all right. I think we're not gonna see each other that much.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I don't do in January.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. Going anywhere.

[Ryan]

If you get tired of reading Goggins and Jocko books, I'll get you on some good fiction. Ones gotta be non fiction.

[Miles]

They will.

[Tyler]

It's gotta be non fiction.

[Ryan]

Maybe that is that part of the rules?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, that's lame. I couldn't do it.

[Miles]

That is stupid. Reading's reading, you know, Bunch of hardos. Well, then maybe for your, your 290Soft, you can experiment with some.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I could go Potter or Twilight.

[Ryan]

I would, I wouldn't start you there.

[Miles]

Yeah. Literally, Harry Potter is four children.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but Tyler reads it, though.

[Ryan]

Not anymore.

[Tyler]

Oh, okay. I don't know if you're. Because you watch shows twice over. I don't know.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I've read the books a shitload of times, just not in my 30s. I think the last time I read them, I was probably like, 22ish.

[Miles]

Hey, he'll cook you up something good.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Hey, cook me up a good fiction book.

[Ryan]

I will. I just filled my.

[Miles]

This is like Tyler's wet dream.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

New. Someone new to corrupt with fiction books.

[Ryan]

Nothing makes me happier though when I like get somebody on a book series and then they like it because I'm always anxious for the first half of the book. Like, are they gonna like it? Did I waste a bunch of their time? And when they like it, it's, it's like a Super bowl for me.

[Tyler]

I guess the same way with TV shows.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Except I don't, I, I no longer like to really pitch TV shows because I always over pitch them and I like, I watch shows different than other people. So like I.

[Miles]

I would love to know how you're watching TV shows that's.

[Tyler]

Different than everyone way that I watch the way that I watch them and digest what's going on. Like, your guys's in depth analysis of Game of Thrones is a hundred times more in depth than what I would have given somebody. Like, I, I, I could have maybe told you the ending to Game of Thrones was pretty decent. You guys would say it was dog. So that there, that's like the, because you read into it more than I do.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was just, it was, it was just lazy.

[Tyler]

Yes. I, I, I can't see laziness through a screen or through, through a subscription. You know.

[Miles]

Book that as a quote for next year. You know, if, if Ryan's kid's doing yard work outside and he's looking out through the, the screen door.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

He can't, it's kid's not even there. Just can't see it. You can't see laziness through screen.

[Jared]

So we watch 600 pound life. You don't see laziness.

[Tyler]

I don't watch that show.

[Miles]

What other resolutions you got last 20?

[Tyler]

25. 2025 resolution is to bang a 1000xer on prize picks.

[Miles]

Okay. Yeah, I mean then you throw you.

[Tyler]

For a loop there with that, that opener.

[Ryan]

I did. You did.

[Miles]

I was gonna say that adverb.

[Tyler]

No, that verb. We're not adding anything to that verb. I want to bang a 1000 extra on P Picks and I'm gonna, I'm gonna buy a new truck, maybe get serious.

[Jared]

There you go.

[Ryan]

Three more months.

[Miles]

I gotta hit this thousand XER on Prize Picks so I can get Sirius XM radio for free.

[Ryan]

For, yeah, for free for three months only.

[Tyler]

So yeah, that's what I got.

[Ryan]

Promo code Y. If you want $50 instantly when you.

[Miles]

Sign up, that's, that's like the people who buy the coupon books thinking that there's $10,000 worth of savings in there, but they have to spend, like $250,000 to save 10,000. Right.

[Jared]

And they have, like 20 cream of mushroom soup cans.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

All right, Tyler, what are yours resolution number one for 20? 25. I just moved into a new house. By the end of the year, I gotta have my light switches figured out. Oh, holy, dude.

[Tyler]

In terms of, like, which switch turns on, like. Gotcha.

[Ryan]

I got a couple mystery switches that apparently turn on nothing. I would also like to diagnose what those go to.

[Miles]

I would check and see if there are switches for the outlets.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

I. That was my immediate thought. Didn't. Doesn't seem to change anything, did you?

[Miles]

Top and bottom?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I plugged lamps in and then turned the lamps on and then just flicked all those mystery switches and then moved the lamps around.

[Tyler]

Okay, so you. You've diagnosed that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I can't figure it out.

[Miles]

I would check outside lights.

[Ryan]

Okay, there's one.

[Miles]

I don't know why I check outside lights.

[Tyler]

You can maybe check the fan. The. The fan. Ceiling fan. Fan.

[Ryan]

Yep. I have checked those outside lights. I know which to turn them on. There could be an extra one that turns them on.

[Miles]

I haven't really looked, but garbage disposal is a big one.

[Ryan]

Don't have one.

[Miles]

Yep. Well, maybe they did have one and they took it out and now that switch is null and void.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

I'm trying to help you out.

[Ryan]

I think I might have to pull off the COVID Get behind the hood a little bit.

[Miles]

Oh, God.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. Go. Yeah, yeah. Take her for a run. Just follow. Just follow the. God.

[Miles]

See back there? I gotta move these wires out of the way. Hand me a butter knife.

[Tyler]

You could first off, see if they're hot, you get one of them.

[Ryan]

Little tester deal.

[Tyler]

Yeah, a little tester deal.

[Miles]

Great excuse to get a tester deal.

[Ryan]

I could also just wear rubber gloves.

[Miles]

Yeah, go ahead, try it out.

[Ryan]

They can't go through rubber. Right, right. That's the rules.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Electricity knows the rules.

[Tyler]

Just put a. Just put a magnum on each finger.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. Or just one and I'll just. Patrick star it.

[Miles]

Yeah, Just. Just dolphin fin it. Well, good luck.

[Ryan]

Thank you.

[Miles]

You're now on a journey.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's going to require some work. It is, too.

[Ryan]

There's an area, it's like mudroom and then sort of split level. And there's like seven light switches in that. That just little area.

[Miles]

It's like we could raise the stakes, you know, like if you don't figure out what they're for by 12-31-20, 25. You have to do something.

[Jared]

We taser you Taser.

[Miles]

You could do like you have to get a divorce, you know, why do.

[Ryan]

I have no stakes on my.

[Tyler]

He has got to sell the house.

[Ryan]

You guys got no stakes on yours.

[Tyler]

Well, if I get hard for in one day, in 75, I gotta.

[Miles]

There's stakes with that and mine. If I don't just go through the right process of starting the process of starting the process of thinking. You have kid. I could just have an Irish twins.

[Ryan]

You know, you could.

[Tyler]

Just.

[Miles]

I could have two under two. You know, you could just have spur.

[Tyler]

Of the moment sex, too, and then be terrible.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, my second resolution. Kitchen.

[Tyler]

Sorry, Last. Last point on that. You check the breaker box. If there's breaker. If there's switches that are flipped off.

[Ryan]

I. I did that. There are.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

But it's for, like, the. We have a kitchen upstairs and a kitchen downstairs, and the breakers that are off are for the oven downstairs. And so I'm. I'm afraid to turn it on because the oven's really old, but I'll turn it on and let you guys know. Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

No, like, everyone's out of the house. You, like, use the 100 foot pole to, like, flip the switch just to.

[Miles]

What's your next resolution?

[Ryan]

Also, it has something to do with the house. The lady that lived there before left us a ton of bird feeders, and I've been filling those bad boys up. I gotta learn some birds in 2025. I want to learn what bird I'm looking at.

[Miles]

Well, you gotta call Charlie Barron's. He'll have an app for you.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Oh, he has an app.

[Miles]

Yeah, there's an app where you can, like, take a photo of a bird and it'll tell you what it is.

[Jared]

Get the name of it.

[Tyler]

Coolest bird I ever saw. Tyler, back in my childhood days. Painted bunch hunting.

[Ryan]

No idea.

[Tyler]

Look that up, Jarrett. You're gonna see some really cool birds.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they're so. I've seen a. The. I think it's a pileated woodpecker with a big red head.

[Miles]

That's the Cool.

[Ryan]

Oh, that is sweet.

[Tyler]

Gorgeous.

[Ryan]

Hell, yeah.

[Tyler]

Dude was sick.

[Miles]

That gives me. That makes me 75 hard.

[Ryan]

Dude, that. That. That's getting me bricked up for bird watching.

[Tyler]

How cool is that? A lot of orioles. A lot of hummingbirds.

[Ryan]

Yeah, one of them.

[Tyler]

And then we got cats, and they started eating all of them, so none of them came out back.

[Miles]

So you want to do birds and light switches.

[Ryan]

Birds and light switches so far.

[Miles]

Also do you think Tyler bought a new house? All of his resolutions are just bragging.

[Ryan]

I just moved into a new house, there's a lot of to do. And this actually rolls perfectly into my third one. My third resolution for 2025 is I want to replace a friend.

[Miles]

Oh, oh really?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

First of all, we're not friends.

[Ryan]

You are my employee because you've been replaced.

[Tyler]

What do you like?

[Ryan]

No, because I moved away from all my friends and so I'm going to need to make at least one new friend in the area. But I'm at the capacity I'm already I have for friends, so I'm going to have to kick someone out.

[Miles]

You won't have to kick anyone out. They'll just fall off.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

You're live an hour away from them now. You just won't ever fucking see them again.

[Ryan]

Yeah, so once someone's going to fall off and I need to replace them with a new person closer to me.

[Miles]

You got any vibes on what you're looking for?

[Ryan]

So I don't know if it counts but right now the front runner is my brother in law.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but that, that's risky business. But, but he's like, he's already in the. I don't think that counts.

[Ryan]

That's why I'm not sure if it counts.

[Miles]

So you're going for like a cuz like you know, this is a, this is a chance to start over. It is, you know, like you have a friend group right now and you don't have to pick someone for your friends that's like that them and you could maybe start a new chapter of your life, Tyler.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I know. I mean, I think the big thing I want is a fishing buddy.

[Miles]

You don't have any of those.

[Ryan]

I have one, but he lives an hour away now.

[Miles]

Well, he could drive to you. You're in lakes country now.

[Ryan]

Good.

[Jared]

Yeah, in the middle.

[Ryan]

But I need, I need a buddy that I can text on a Saturday afternoon. You want to go fishing and you can, you know.

[Miles]

When are you going to be available? On a random Saturday afternoon with three kids, probably four away already.

[Ryan]

No, no, no.

[Miles]

When are you going to be able to do that? Yeah, let's be realistic.

[Ryan]

No, I was just telling Ryan this on the double bogey show the other day. It's actually great now that the oldest one is five and like can do. It's the perfect excuse for me to go fishing if I just bring him with because he likes doing that stuff.

[Miles]

Have finding a buddy who wants to go fishing with your kid. I mean I'd have to do the brother in law actually at this point.

[Ryan]

Well, if I find someone else with a kid right now, I've met my next door neighbors. They have kids that. Three kids that are all just one year older than my three kids. But I haven't, I haven't vibed this guy out yet. I don't know if I like him.

[Miles]

You gotta start vibing.

[Ryan]

I do, I do.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you gotta catch.

[Miles]

Go over to his house and just start vibing him.

[Jared]

Don't say anything.

[Miles]

Vibe him up and down, vibe him hard.

[Ryan]

Let's see how soft, see if he likes the feel.

[Miles]

Go. Vibe him fast and slow, up and down, the whole thing. All that should be your dudes, right? Just start vibing guys.

[Ryan]

It plenty of ways to do well.

[Miles]

Good luck finding a new friend.

[Ryan]

Thanks.

[Miles]

I wish I had that type of gear. I'm not, I'm not currently in the market for any new friends.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean I wasn't when I was here.

[Tyler]

This is not to call you out or anything, but. What?

[Ryan]

Every time?

[Tyler]

No, I just, I. I want to, I just want to throw this out there. There was a time I was like six months ago where I can't remember what we were talking about. But didn't you say that you like, you just don't want to meet anybody anymore? Like you don't want to. You don't make any new friends.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's why I put replace on this. I don't want.

[Tyler]

Oh, see, that's what I. I gotta take a little. That's good. I gotta, I gotta take something from that.

[Ryan]

I don't want more friends. I just want to have a new one.

[Tyler]

Gotcha.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Jared]

I like it. Jared, what was it? I want to go to a conference or convention and do nothing.

[Miles]

What do you mean by do nothing? So, so what's the level of nothing we're talking about?

[Jared]

Like I want to go to a convention and then all you care, you don't really listen to the presenters. You just care about like where you're eating that night with other people. Because every conference convention I've go to, I've had to like work it like with the news or whatever.

[Miles]

So I can send you to a convention. You got one in mind?

[Jared]

I have no, I have nothing in mind right now.

[Miles]

But, but it also doesn't make me want to send you to a convention if you're not going to learn anything.

[Tyler]

Right?

[Miles]

Learn the local question.

[Tyler]

He.

[Ryan]

But he gets to check off a resolution.

[Miles]

Never mind. You're doing that on Your own time.

[Tyler]

Well, it could be a good networking opportunity as well. That's not really necessarily what you're going to learn at the convention. It's the people you're going to meet, because it's not what you know, it's who you know.

[Ryan]

But networking is a thing, and he's doing nothing.

[Jared]

That's true.

[Tyler]

He's gaming. When. Where he's going to eat with the boys that night. You know, are they in a. Are they in a recreational state? 8. I guarantee that's the first Google search he'll make. Catch my drift?

[Miles]

I mean, I. I do know what you're saying, because it was very similar. Like when I was playing football and you'd get hurt. Right. Obviously you wanted to be playing, but the next best thing was being able to, like, be at the game on the sideline, you know, part of the team, but not have to be stressed about if you're, like, doing a good job.

[Jared]

Yeah, it'll be fun.

[Miles]

It was kind of. It's kind of that same feeling. You're kind of like, wow, I. I can't something up today. I can't blow a block and have the quarterback's head taken off.

[Tyler]

So I'm chilling.

[Miles]

I'm just going to stand here and smoke and joke with, you know, red shirts.

[Jared]

Drink Gatorade.

[Miles]

Yeah, drink Gatorade. Pop your head into the huddle once in a while just to show like, you're, you know, being a good leader.

[Jared]

Or just, like, have the headset draped over your neck. It's not even on.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Look like you're busy.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Smack a couple helmets.

[Ryan]

Did you guys do signs? Signs or how did you get your signals from the sideline?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

When I was there, when I had the picture boards.

[Ryan]

You could be a picture board guy.

[Miles]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That take. That's requires being locked in.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Connor, signs will sniff that out immediately.

[Miles]

You don't want that job. You actually have to be paying attention.

[Ryan]

That's unfortunate.

[Miles]

You want. Yeah. You want to be injured enough to where, you know, you're not miserable, but also not having to get assigned any other jobs.

[Jared]

Tweak your knee.

[Ryan]

Concussion. Perfect.

[Jared]

My other one is beat my half maritime half marathon time from last year. That was three hours and 10 minutes. So I think.

[Ryan]

I think you got it.

[Jared]

I can do it.

[Ryan]

Do 75 hard with Ryan.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah. Wait, what was the. What was the fiasco with your half marathon again?

[Ryan]

You eat like, Chinese food.

[Jared]

Yeah. Panda Express the night before.

[Miles]

Did you puke?

[Jared]

No, I didn't puke.

[Miles]

You just were lethargic.

[Jared]

Cuz like around mile nine I was like, I was walking pretty much.

[Miles]

Cuz your goal was What?

[Jared]

It's like 2 hours 50 minutes and it was 3 hours 10 minutes. So it was a 20 minute difference.

[Tyler]

That's going to be so easy.

[Jared]

Yeah. So I want to get like around 2 hours 50 minutes. So we'll see.

[Tyler]

We should start running together. We should have a little run club.

[Jared]

You would out. You would outrun me.

[Tyler]

No, I got a bum knee. I. I've ran two miles last 12 years.

[Jared]

My other one is I. I want to try to retire this year. See how that goes.

[Ryan]

You're just gonna try?

[Jared]

I'm gonna try.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jared]

Make enough money so I can retire.

[Miles]

Couple thousand xers.

[Tyler]

I was gonna, I was gonna say prize picks. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think you just had the same goals as Ryan but worded differently.

[Jared]

Pretty much. And my last one is I want to use the phrase canary in the coal mine in a sentence correctly.

[Miles]

I don't know what it means.

[Jared]

It's like there's danger ahead.

[Ryan]

I thought it meant there's like something beautiful in a shitty place.

[Jared]

No, it's like I googled it. It's like there's danger up ahead. Because I like that phrase a lot and I want to use it correctly.

[Miles]

Canary in a cold mine. All right.

[Ryan]

I've always understood that phrase is like. Like a really good looking girl in a group of disgusting guys.

[Miles]

Which is danger ahead. I mean that's a dangerous situation, huh?

[Tyler]

Dangerous for who?

[Jared]

Yeah, exactly.

[Miles]

So you feeling good about this year or.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he's trying to retire.

[Jared]

I think I'm gonna hit 50 of them. Potentially 75.

[Miles]

So when's the half marathon?

[Jared]

Late May.

[Miles]

You gotta start trading now.

[Jared]

I have.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Tyler]

You got time? Yeah, yeah. We'll get you going.

[Miles]

Like biggest thing. Get a nice pair of running shoes.

[Jared]

I got those.

[Miles]

And also you bet if you want to retire this year, you better have been pumping the S P 500 full 20 years ago.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Best time to hit the s P is 20 years ago.

[Miles]

Or.

[Ryan]

Or now doesn't need retire. He's just going to try to try.

[Tyler]

To play the Powerball mega million. Yeah. Or the Powerball, whatever they call it.

[Jared]

Right. See what happens.

[Ryan]

Yeah. All you got to do is buy a lottery ticket and that is you trying to retire.

[Tyler]

True.

[Jared]

Or if I just step foot in a casino.

[Ryan]

Y.

[Jared]

That's a good idea.

[Ryan]

Well, you'd have to gamble at least a little.

[Jared]

Yeah, I can gamble naturally.

[Miles]

All right, so there we go. We got 2025 all set in stone. Big year ahead of us.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it is Huge year.

[Miles]

This is more. This is maybe the most goals we've ever had.

[Jared]

I think it's up there.

[Miles]

So what are we shooting for? 51% this year. Majority beat last year.

[Jared]

Yeah, we can do it.

[Miles]

Hey, that's really, really shooting high. 1% better.

[Ryan]

That's.

[Miles]

That's what they say. 1% better every year at 100 years old.

[Ryan]

You'll be great.

[Jared]

You'll be 100%.

[Ryan]

That should be our. That's our group resolution. Resolution. Beat next year or beat this year.

[Miles]

Yeah. Do we have any group resolutions for the podcast?

[Jared]

I don't think we ever have.

[Miles]

We could try it. What do you guys think?

[Tyler]

4, 000 patrons.

[Ryan]

It's a good one.

[Miles]

I think we can get to 5, 000.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think we could too.

[Miles]

So, guys, there we go. New Year's resolution. 5, 000 patrons by the end of 2025. 5.

[Jared]

We can do that.

[Miles]

5 for 5, 5 for 25.

[Tyler]

25.

[Miles]

It's kind of like applebe. It's like Dave's. Dave's loans. He used to take out four payday. Five for six, five for 25. I think we can do it. So, guys, that's awesome for 25 is.

[Tyler]

That's the Victoria Secret undie sale.

[Miles]

We're going for a Victoria Secret undie sale this year. Five for 25.

[Ryan]

The year.

[Tyler]

Victoria Secret Secret. It's the year that the secret gets revealed.

[Miles]

So, guys, that being said, go check out our Patreon. We gotta get to 5, 000 this year.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we do.

[Miles]

Starting big. And go to patreon.com. you betcha. Radio. Or look us up on the Patreon app. We got all sorts of episodes on there. We got the wives episode on there now.

[Jared]

Road trippers.

[Miles]

Road trippers. The whole thing. So go check it out, guys. And we're gonna take a break. Ryan, you know, it's a good New Year's resolution. Going to ou betchu.com and being smart with your money. Don't go buy one of those expensive canvas vests on other places and times and websites. You got to go to. Oh, you betcha.com and buy a high quality, affordable canvas vest, which is what we got. 39.99 on the website. M. I believe. Is that right?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yes.

[Miles]

$39.99. Plus we got all sorts of other merch on there. Even the hat that I'm wearing. So go check it out. You probably didn't get what you Wanted for Christmas. So go to. Oh, you bet you Dot com. And treat yourself.

[Ryan]

All right. How many beers does the vest fit in it?

[Tyler]

I. I got seven in it.

[Miles]

Okay. I bet I could beat that.

[Ryan]

We could stretch it, too.

[Tyler]

I mean, if you. If you. Instead of putting your belt through your belt loops, you could just put it around your vest and then just pack the inside. Hey.

[Ryan]

Hey.

[Tyler]

So. Could probably fit a whole rack of beers.

[Ryan]

Beers float, too. So it's basically like a life jacket.

[Miles]

Pretty much. It's just a beer corset.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

You know.

[Tyler]

You know. You know how, like, when you guys would. I don't know, you pick up baseballs when you're younger. You, like, take your shirt. Take your shirt and you put them right in here. It's same thing. Beers in the vest.

[Miles]

So seven plus we'll say beers.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Minimum of seven.

[Miles]

So go check it out. Guys. Guys. All right. We have a few patron questions to kick off the new year. Jared.

[Jared]

We do Nutra, Neutra, Grain. Bartender asks. Since I had a kid, being hungover is three times as bad. What are the cheat codes to being a hungover dad?

[Miles]

Tyler, you're probably the most experienced.

[Ryan]

The. The number one cheat code is live close to a grandparent. Dump those kids off ASAP as possible.

[Tyler]

Wide load coming through.

[Miles]

Dump truck. Dump. Dude, the old dump truck.

[Ryan]

Because there's. There's no escaping it if you can't get rid of those kids. They're loud, they are excited. They are not hungover in the morning, so they don't understand what the hell you're going through. They'll be jumping on your bed loud as.

[Tyler]

Now the qu. The question is, are the hangovers bad just because he has had kids, or is he just drinking more because he now has kids?

[Miles]

Yeah, it's a chicken or the egg situation.

[Ryan]

I think the answer to that is just yes.

[Tyler]

Okay. Yeah, that's all I needed.

[Miles]

Yeah, I. What I would say is find yourself a project that's not really a project and just talk about. Complain about how you wish you were dealing with the kid. But instead, I got to work on this project.

[Ryan]

I'd love to hang out all day with the kids, honey. Buck.

[Miles]

But I'm all stacked up. You know, I gotta write some scripts for these videos this week, and I'm stacked up like cordwood in there.

[Ryan]

I gotta mold a lawn, but the lawnmower's broken, so I'm gonna have to use the weed whacker for the whole lawn. Oh, and the weed whacker won't stop. Yeah.

[Miles]

And then she's like, I haven't seen you weed whack anything. You're like, I've been un. I had to respool all the cord on it. Just keep kicking the can down the road.

[Tyler]

Yeah, just. Just say you like, you have to go mow the lawn at work or you got to go. I got to go to work. To work on these scripts. Like, there's couches here. Yeah, there's three of them.

[Ryan]

Hey, we've used this before. Pawning off on your boss. Like, Miles needs me to come in today.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Then just take a nap on the office couch.

[Miles]

Yeah, you could also tag team. You know, it's like, hey, if we're going to drink to tonight, tomorrow we're going to take shifts with the kid.

[Tyler]

Yeah. 30 minutes on 6:00am to 6:00pm and I'll take bedtime.

[Ryan]

You take daytime. I'll take.

[Miles]

You go. 6am to 6pm you'll take 6pm to 6am Perfect.

[Ryan]

12 hour shifts.

[Miles]

12 hour shifts.

[Tyler]

You take the kids in the light and I'll take the kids in the dark.

[Miles]

And you know, kids get wild at night, you know?

[Ryan]

Yes, I. I know you don't want to do bath and bedtime, so I'll take care of that.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It just happens to be June when it's light out until 10.

[Ryan]

You. This what I actually do if I. I don't have a grandparent available. All good parenting goes out the window. It is a movie day, like at school. It is movie day until I'm feeling okay.

[Miles]

That's why Steve Jobs invented the iPad, Tyler.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't. I don't do that. But I don't have an iPad.

[Tyler]

Good on you. Good on you, Todd.

[Miles]

He's got a Nintendo switch instead. You know, the. You see it? That's the way we're at, though. Anytime anyone mentions iPad and kid, the room, the. The chemistry in the room gets weird because it's become this like, stigma.

[Tyler]

No, you know, I know exactly what you mean for sure.

[Miles]

You like, like, there are closeted iPad parents out there. You know that there is. And because society's like, they're like, they like, have to go like, you know, like Ryan hiding. Yeah. Like Ryan's neighbors gotta smoke his cigars out the back door of the garage because he doesn't want anyone to see him.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

Parents are giving their kids iPads and then acting like they don't. You know that that's happening for sure.

[Ryan]

Dude, the kids, they go nuts. I've given my kids iPad or A phone to plan before. And then what? Then you give it in.

[Miles]

2024 slash 20, 2025.

[Ryan]

Dude, they straight. They'll turn. They turn into Gollum trying to get the one ring. They just. They turn feral over this eye.

[Tyler]

And if you try and take it away, dude, they spaz.

[Ryan]

They'll bite your.

[Tyler]

That's why you don't even start.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's. It's tough.

[Miles]

This is funny, though. You could see any mention of the iPad, just. Oh, God, I don't want people to think I'm an iPad parent.

[Ryan]

It's.

[Miles]

You're not alone. Everyone does that.

[Ryan]

I know.

[Tyler]

It's just.

[Ryan]

It did it there.

[Miles]

And then the. And then the generations above us are like, what's so wrong? We used to stick in front of the TV.

[Tyler]

I used to watch like six hours.

[Ryan]

Of TV back in SpongeBob on for four hours a day on Nickelodeon.

[Tyler]

Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

Anyway, yeah, I was gonna say, you know, yeah, movie day. We're gonna play who Can Lay down the Longest.

[Ryan]

Simon. Simon says close your eyes and be really cool. Quiet.

[Tyler]

And don't open them for another three hours.

[Miles]

If you take a nap for three hours, you can have a cookie later.

[Ryan]

You can have.

[Miles]

When it's your mom's shift. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Also a little. I don't know how to say little. Visit Ryan's college buddies right away in the morning. So then you. Then you're just zoned out.

[Tyler]

You know where my college buddies live?

[Ryan]

I feel. I've heard rumors.

[Tyler]

Jesus.

[Ryan]

Yeah. One lives in Washington or some. He told me.

[Tyler]

Yes, he does.

[Jared]

Peanut butter.

[Miles]

Really? You're waking and baking, taking care of your kids?

[Ryan]

Yeah, well, you just. You can micro dose a little Steady Eddie.

[Tyler]

Oh.

[Ryan]

Get you back to zero. And then.

[Miles]

Isn't that funny? He's all worried about people thinking he's an iPad parent, but he's like, yeah, I wake and bake. What world are we living in?

[Ryan]

Right. Right now, peak parenting is hungover. You wake up feeling like you pop an edible and then play magnet tiles for four hours.

[Tyler]

Dude, magnet tiles. I can build a really good structure with magnet.

[Ryan]

We built some car ramp with magnet tiles. Last time I did this, it was awesome.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

It's just so funny where we're at. What world are we living in?

[Tyler]

We got iPad parents, then we got weed parents.

[Miles]

They're like, yeah. Their parents are like. So I wake up, I do micro. Do some shrooms. Then I fucking had some cayenne pepper orange juice concoction, you know. Then I usually like to, you know, do a 1e to take the edge off. Then I take care of my kids. But fuck, I would never give it an iPad.

[Ryan]

My kids don't turn feral when I take an edible.

[Jared]

What I think might seem that way.

[Ryan]

They're actually way cooler.

[Jared]

Yeah, way wavier.

[Miles]

Ryan, what do you do over parenting?

[Tyler]

I just book a hotel room that night. Yeah, I'm out on business. Out on business. Gonna hotel or I gotta be at a hotel at 11 so see you around like 11:30 noon tomorrow. It's. I. I've actually never done it, but I've always strived to do it one night I. If I am in the right mood, that being the canvas [e-mail] 3999 right now if that's on, I may look at booking a hotel room just so I can wake up whenever I want. I can have, you know, blackout shades, you name it.

[Miles]

That seems continent.

[Tyler]

Breakfast, continental breakfast. I can get up and I don't even have to make breakfast for myself. And then what I can do is I, I can, I can get some Tupperwares or some to go boxes and bring breakfast home for my kids.

[Miles]

Oh, you know, my favorite thing in the world is if I'm at a hotel and I'm hungover, just going to the snack area at the hotel and just charging shit to my room.

[Tyler]

Out of sight, out of mind.

[Miles]

I love charging shit to the room because it's, it's like it was free.

[Ryan]

You love doing that before you're hungover too.

[Miles]

I kind of just like doing it all the the time. Yeah, I'm a huge charge to my room guy when I'm at hotels.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I've. We've told this story several times. Where were we? We were hammered and walking back.

[Miles]

Mitchell, South Dakota.

[Ryan]

Mitchell, South Dakota. We walk in and miles points at the snack cover. He's like, boys on me tonight.

[Miles]

Charge it to the room.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you don't even have to pay for it. It's crazy how that works.

[Ryan]

Ramen noodles and snicker bars.

[Miles]

Yeah. Plus my accountant thinks it was just an extra like fee charged to whatever little ancillary fee I don't have to answer to. Say, why did you spend 46.99 on Hot Pockets at 2am at this hotel?

[Tyler]

You all accidentally opened the Fiji water bottle.

[Ryan]

Got sensors.

[Jared]

I bumped it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I accidentally just touched it and they charged me 47.9.

[Jared]

Yeah, dads are really protective over like those magnet snack bars in the hotel room.

[Tyler]

Oh yeah.

[Jared]

Even look at it.

[Ryan]

Oh yeah.

[Miles]

I did one time There was. They had a thing of gummy bears at this hotel. Oh, me and Ann chowed them down and then I looked at the statement and those gummy bears were like $14. Yeah, it was probably gummy wears beware. God, that was a mistake.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Jack. Shotgun. Would you rather have a rewind button for your life or a pause button?

[Miles]

Pause, yeah, pause for sure. 100%. Cuz, you know, there's no song about I'd like to go back. You know, there's none of that. It's always don't blink. Sure.

[Ryan]

Or if it is, if I went back, I wouldn't change a thing, you know.

[Jared]

Well, doesn't Kenny Chesney sing a song? I go back.

[Miles]

I go back to the yard line, blanket a girl, some raspberry. That never happened too, by the way. Never once did Kenny Chesney go on the 50 yard line with a blanket, a girl and some raspberry wine. Never once did he do that.

[Tyler]

Well, if he did, he was probably. He's probably.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was probably UV blue.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Or he was. He was underage drinking.

[Miles]

Or his son keg in the clock closet. You know how warm that keg would be? You're just keeping a keg in the closet.

[Ryan]

Has Kenny Chesney ever drank for real?

[Miles]

What do you mean?

[Ryan]

All of his songs seem ridiculous. I think he's just making up.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's thinking that's how it. How it always like how it is.

[Ryan]

It's like the four year old version where he says boobs feel like bags of sand, which they do.

[Miles]

So I don't know why everyone is such a stink about that movie.

[Tyler]

And. And he's never sandbagged in his life.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know.

[Ryan]

He'S a frog. Maybe.

[Miles]

I don't even know if it's raspberry wine. What do you get raspberry wine?

[Tyler]

Well, there's a song called Raspberry Wine.

[Miles]

Either. Either he either he is like 15 doing this and a 15 year old, you're really. Your alcohol of choice is raspberry. Wow.

[Ryan]

Hey, beggars can't be choosers at 15. Maybe that's all it's.

[Miles]

You're like, okay, yeah. A 15 year old wouldn't pick up a bottle of raspberry wine from his plug. So he's 21 years old and he's going to the 50 yard line of his high school and drinking raspberry wine.

[Ryan]

Loser.

[Miles]

What's going on?

[Tyler]

That's insane.

[Miles]

Kenneth Chesney.

[Tyler]

Kenneth Chesnith.

[Ryan]

Kenneth Chesnith. Yeah, that's good.

[Miles]

So anyways, yeah.

[Jared]

Two fun facts.

[Miles]

I don't even remember what the question was.

[Ryan]

Pause or re.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah. Pause all day.

[Ryan]

I've actually thought about that a bunch. Like how if I went back in time, how I could make sure I still end up with my kids. Like, there's so many things you'd have to do. Right.

[Jared]

You know, we can just rewind it yesterday, too.

[Ryan]

It doesn't. But like, if I was. I'm thinking of this as like, if you rewind back to consciousness.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Rewind back to like, rewind like 10 minutes.

[Tyler]

Rewind back to sushi.

[Ryan]

I wasn't aware of the rules.

[Tyler]

If you're going to use a rewind, though, you got to make it worth it.

[Ryan]

You got to go back to like 15 minutes.

[Tyler]

You got to go back to like, you know, state restless. State championship or something.

[Ryan]

Well, Jared's trying to retire. He's got to watch the Powerball numbers, then go back.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

12 hours ago.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Would that be funny? Tyler goes back, tries to. He's like, if I just did this one thing in that state championship match, I would have won. And then he goes and does it and still doesn't one still doesn't win. Just rewind for nothing.

[Jared]

I'm assuming you get unlimited rewinds or maybe.

[Ryan]

I don't know.

[Tyler]

No, you just. You just get one. Just get one.

[Jared]

One pause.

[Tyler]

It's like click. Great movie. Yeah, it is one of the all time greats.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's good.

[Tyler]

Better than a quiet place.

[Miles]

What's the fun fact?

[Ryan]

No, it's not.

[Jared]

What is the fun facts 2 New Year's Eve Fun facts? According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, New Year's Day consistently ranks as the holiday with the highest number of vehicle thefts. For instance, in 2019, there were 2,320 vehicles stolen on New Year's Year's Day, making it the top day for car thefts during the holiday season.

[Ryan]

Hey.

[Jared]

The NICB reported that the 94 Honda Accord was the most stolen vehicle.

[Tyler]

This is a 94 Honda. How dare you.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'm trying to think of why this is the case.

[Ryan]

Hey, New Year, new car.

[Miles]

No, but why. Why do you think that is the case?

[Tyler]

There's probably a lot of people leaving their cars at the establishments overnight.

[Jared]

I look into it.

[Ryan]

One of the coolest holidays.

[Miles]

Wait, so. So you. You foresaw that question and what was the answer?

[Jared]

It was a lot of. Lot of traffic out at night. And then there's not many, like cops in the morning or as many as the night shift, they all went.

[Tyler]

Stayed up too late, watch ball drop.

[Jared]

Y.

[Tyler]

Miss their shift.

[Jared]

Yeah, totally. So that's. That's basically why.

[Miles]

Got it.

[Tyler]

Y.

[Miles]

That a fun fact. Honda Accord. Gotta get myself, get, get myself, get. Whoa. I gotta get my hands on a 94 Accord.

[Tyler]

It would be a funny. It would be a funny just, like, experiment. We were at experimental podcast to buy a 94 Honda Accord and just leave it at a bar with the doors unlocked and the keys in it just to see if it gets stolen.

[Miles]

Yeah. And like, just like a briefcase in the back.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. That says do not open.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Julius Caesar was the first to declare January 1st a national holiday. He named the month after Janice, the Roman God of doors and gates. Janice had two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. Caesar felt that a month named after this God would be fitting because you.

[Miles]

Then looking back at last year and looking forward to the next year. Smart guy. That's that guy. Who was it? Julius Caesar.

[Ryan]

July is named after him?

[Tyler]

Nope.

[Miles]

Say it. Say it.

[Tyler]

No, I'm not gonna say it. It's dumb, you guys. I mean, it's a new year. I don't say dumb anymore because I am hard in the mind.

[Miles]

Well, for 75 days.

[Tyler]

You're hard for 75 days.

[Jared]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

Okay. Is that it, Jared?

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

All right, guys. Well, happy New Year. Thanks for tuning in to the new year episode. May your resolutions come true, and may your 75 be hard as a rock.

[Jared]

Cheers.

[Miles]

Ryan.

[E]

This.

[Tyler]

Oh, you betcha.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I've been taking. Taking these shots in the morning. It's just one shot. It's like turmeric.

[Miles]

No, you.

[Tyler]

No, no, it's homemade. It's.

[Miles]

No, no, I know, but you started doing that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

We're losing them. You know who else used to take those? He's to be crossfitting again in no time.

[Jared]

Oh, my God.

[Miles]

Yeah. You thought this is all CrossFit behavior.

[Jared]

He's going to wear Reebok.

[Miles]

Are you recording right now? Yeah. This little section might have to go in it. You're going to be crossfitting in no time. How many EMS you got scheduled in your 75 hard?

[Tyler]

Well, one a day for 45 minutes, and then the other one is up walking outside side. I tend to get into that. That is easily talked about.

[Ryan]

Okay. You know, I actually. I actually hope you get back into.

[Miles]

You mean, like, he's like mainstream? Is that what you're saying? He's like mainstream gimmick guy. He's not going to go find elderberries in the woods and do something. He's just going to be like, all right, what is. What are all of the snake oil salesman health people saying right now? I'm going to do that, that stuff.

[Ryan]

I. Please get back in CrossFit. Go to a competition and tell us when it is so we can come watch.

[Miles]

I would like to watch you.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I've done a couple CrossFit comics. Lift, lift harder.

[Miles]

Get hard.

[Jared]

Bend your knees.

[Tyler]

I will tell you one thing, though. When I keep pushing, Ryan, the keep.

[Miles]

Pushing.

[Jared]

Emobs or whatever it is, don't burn your eye.

[Miles]

Don't burn your grip out. Don't burn that grip out.

[Tyler]

Stay relaxed.

[Miles]

Breathe.

[Jared]

Don't panic.

[Miles]

Don't think about how you can't breathe. Put more chalk on chalk.

[Tyler]

Chalk.

[Miles]

The answer is always more chalk. Yeah, those are just some of the things I would yell at your CrossFit competition.

[Tyler]

I can climb a rope pretty fast, though, I will tell you that, because it went from obstacle course racing into CrossFit. And I could, I could touch the ceiling immediately. I can hook the foot hook. You ever seen that?

[Miles]

I've seen it.

[Tyler]

If you haven't. I'll show you sometime.

[Jared]

What about a tough mudder? Would you do it?

[Tyler]

Yeah. Obstacle course racing.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

I can't run that far. I know I shouldn't say I can't run that far. I don't, I just, I don't really want to run too far right now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, tough mudders are kind of a racket.

[Tyler]

Do you want to hear another thing I did the other day? And this is. This is preventative. This is preventative for getting. My whole household is sick. So I did something the other day I saw online.

[Miles]

The breathing.

[Tyler]

No. What about the breathing?

[Miles]

If you're around people that are sick, you do like, 30 ridiculously deep breaths deaths, and it activates your adrenaline, and then your adrenaline releases, like antibodies into your body. So then you fight off the sickness. If your body were to bring it in.

[Tyler]

No, that's boring. I have, I haven't. No, I, I, that's not why.

[Miles]

I watched one Huberman clip.

[Tyler]

That does sound. It sounds like something I could do.

[Miles]

He was even saying, he's like, yeah, if I'm on the airplane and someone next to me coughs, I just do it. I'm like, imagine.

[Tyler]

That's insane. Got the crochet pot out. Cut seven. Seven lemons in half. Half. Half cup apple cider vinegar, half cup honey. What was it? I don't know. Like one ginger root cut up, minced, and the Rest, water. And then I put some cinnamon sticks in there too. Put it on the saute mode, got her boiling, and just fill the house with nice fragrance.

[Ryan]

I thought you're gu. I've seen people.

[Miles]

Are you drinking it?

[Tyler]

Actually, my I for what didn't evaporate into the air through in a Mason jar. Been taking a shot of that, too. So two shots a day. Not of espresso either.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I saw people. They're taking like. They'll take a regular candle and melt it down and then shovel some vix vapor.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Mix it in the candle, put it back in the jar, let it resolidify.

[Miles]

That's a good idea.

[Tyler]

I've seen that. That's a good, good idea. You got to re. Replace the wick in there, too.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Yeah. All kinds of good ideas out there. Just out. Online. Online quick. Thought I'd try it out. We were watching Frosty the Snowman while I was doing that too. It's kind of a vibe, actually. The Christmas tree's still up.

[Ryan]

It sounds like a potion, Like a witch's brew.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Well, then I, I. And then I took the. I took the fan from my kid. The little. You know that octopus tripod deal there that you can wrap it around? I got one of that, One of them type deals for my kids. Stroller fan. And hooked the fan up behind the crock pot and just blew it all out into the living room.

[Jared]

Smart man.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah. Cause I didn't. I didn't want my cabinets above to get moist, you know?

[Jared]

Yeah. That's the worst.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And I own the house, so then I'd have to replace myself. It's not just like I call the landlord.

[Jared]

You are the landlord. Lord.

[Tyler]

So that's what I've been. That's what I got going on lately. That's what I've been up to.

[Miles]

You've been watching a lot of Tik Toks, though?

[Tyler]

A fair amount.

[Jared]

Yeah, I can tell.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Fair amount.

[Miles]

All right.

[Ryan]

Tips for getting better at ice fishing. I'm terrible at setting my hook, but I keep telling my husband I'm going to catch more fish than him this year. Lost three fish just this past weekend. 30 years old, female. 410 size seven shoe, no banana for reference.

[Miles]

410.

[Ryan]

410 little gal.

[Tyler]

Wow.

[Ryan]

I mean, it's got to be tough to set the hook when most of the fish are taller than you, Tyler.

[Tyler]

Now you're gonna insult somebody's height.

[Ryan]

No, I'm just. Facts are facts.

[Tyler]

She's born like that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, she was born probably way shorter than that.

[Tyler]

Probably.

[Miles]

I feel like every girl that's 410 is spunky.

[Ryan]

They got a little attitude to him, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah. You know, I. I think for sure. I feel like women who are 410 are just. They're just a ball of spunk.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, she really wants to beat her husband at a fishing.

[Miles]

I don't know if I've ever met a 410 woman who's like Eeyore, you know?

[Tyler]

No, not like a.

[Miles]

They're always full of energy.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Tips to get better at ice fishing. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think we should defer to Ryan here.

[Miles]

You are. You are the most trained ice fisherman in this podcast studio right now.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And it's. I mean, it sounds like she's getting. She's getting bites.

[Ryan]

That's.

[Tyler]

Step number one is to just go where the Fish.

[Miles]

I mean, she's probably, like, maybe trying to set the hook too early.

[Tyler]

Yeah, too early or too hard? Hard. You got to remember how sharp these hooks are. Now, I would assume she's fishing in the U.S. canada. You have to cut the barbs off your hook, so sometimes you can have fish slip out because the hook can't catch into the lip. Number one, let them munch on that thing. If you're bobber fishing, count to 30. When that bobber goes underneath the water, start counting to 30 and just let it go.

[Ryan]

Okay, Open.

[Tyler]

Open up. Open up your. Up your bail. Let her buck, and then at 30, just rip that thing. That's the time for a good host.

[Ryan]

So how hard? How hard? That's a genuine question, because I know I get. Especially when I'm trolling, I yank it way too hard because I. You catch it out of nowhere.

[Tyler]

And I. I mean, I. I think that's fine.

[Ryan]

I.

[Tyler]

Ice fish is a little bit. I guess it depends on what you're fishing, too. If you're fishing, like, perch and crappies. Crappies have, like, paper mouth mouths. So if you set the hook too hard, then you're just gonna rip it right out of the lips.

[Miles]

Rip it. Literally ripping.

[Tyler]

Literally ripping lips.

[Miles]

Like, wait, give us a comparison. You know.

[Tyler]

Let'S see.

[Miles]

You know, like Charlie Barron says, when you're driving in the winter, you should be driving carefully enough. So that's. If someone's filleting a walleye in the front seat, he doesn't give himself an accidental circumcision. That's what Charlie says you got in a comparison like that, you know?

[Tyler]

Okay. And here's the best I can do in terms of, like, how hard to set the hook. And I still do this to this day. Let's say. Let's say our church and the pastor says, please rise. If you got a little. You're 410. You probably got some spunk. You're probably going to have a little pep in your step. When you stand up, use that same cadence when you set the hook. So make sure the line's tight, and then just stand up with your rod, and there's your hook set right there.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

That's actually pretty good advice.

[Tyler]

I. It seemed to work for me.

[Miles]

You do it how she would do it, not how your grandpa would do it. Right. This is your grandpa setting the hook, then.

[Tyler]

Okay. No, we're not talking like a double knee replacement or hip replacement.

[Miles]

No, we're talking. Talking like, freeze, rise.

[Tyler]

And you're just like, yes, maybe a Little bit faster.

[Miles]

Faster.

[Ryan]

Ryan flies out of his seat at church.

[Tyler]

Okay, so let's say I. I like. I feel the nimble line's getting taught.

[Ryan]

Okay, now you're gonna have to watch the video up and at him.

[Tyler]

Feel for that. And don't.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's maybe more like you're. You're asleep in the pew at church.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And then you come to and realize everyone's already standing. Okay, that's about how.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Don't slow mo that, Tyler, because that will screw the cadence up.

[Ryan]

I wasn't planning on it.

[Tyler]

And keep it real time.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna play the post this whole podcast in half speed.

[Miles]

You watch it in 2x. Be normal.

[Ryan]

Open Adam asks.

[Tyler]

That's. That's. That's the best advice I got. Be on top of fish, standing up at church.
