Transcript

[A]

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the you betcha radio podcast. The boys are here. It is whiskey season.

[B]

Here, here, here, here.

[A]

We'll have the official start of whiskey season over on Patreon, if you guys want to check that out.

[C]

It was a great toast.

[B]

That was.

[A]

It's a great toast. So we're just having a little whiskey. We're feeling good. We're feeling good. I actually had a moment. So I finally was able to learn. Teach my kid how to do nu.

[B]

Hell yeah.

[A]

He was always turkeying me up until that point. You know, like, turkey, go like this. He's just. He. He didn't understand closing the fist. And now we finally got him. So now he loves it right before Thanksgiving. Right before Thanksgiving. I, you know, got him off the turkey, which makes no sense. Yeah. Went cold turkey on turkeying right around Thanksgiving. What a nightmare.

[D]

Cold turkey is the best. Best leftover, though, to have on it's true Thanksgiving.

[B]

Yeah. And.

[A]

And the thought that I had as he's giving me nu and I'm giving him nux. I'm like, it is insane how a kid who's a year and a half old and a guy who's 32 years old just still love the same thing.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

I've loved giving knocks as soon as I learned how to give knocks. And I'll give knocks until I die.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm gonna be knocking the gal wipe my ass in the nursing home.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Hey, nice job. Feel fresh and clean work.

[B]

Janine. Way to get in there.

[A]

But we haven't blended cheeseburgers for dinner. Sounds good.

[B]

Hell yeah. You gotta give me one of those wide straws.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Any dingleberries left in there?

[C]

Gross.

[D]

That'll move us on quick.

[C]

But, yeah, I like nux and more because I. I'm really bad at tapping up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's like. And it's. It's much easier to dab someone up with. You got chemistry with.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

You know? Yeah.

[D]

Aura.

[A]

So it's always just nice to just. No one can mess up a Knox unless they accidentally give you the turkey.

[D]

Yeah. Then when you go in for knocks and they go in for like a high five and then you switch and then they sw. And then you give him a hug. It's a.

[A]

And then you rip down his pants.

[D]

I was just gonna say that. I didn't know if I should, though, so. Thanks for doing that.

[A]

Hey, when that happens, is that a bit.

[B]

Because to me, I. I don't know.

[D]

The real life.

[A]

Oh, that's happens. Happens all the time.

[B]

I don't know if this is an existing meme already or Mileage has pulled that out of his ass.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, I pulled out of his ass. Yeah.

[D]

I pulled out of his. Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

We got chemistry right here. Right here.

[C]

Not great. Not great.

[A]

It's a arm thing.

[D]

Headphones on. We got.

[A]

All right, that should be our next segment. We'll do it. We'll do a dap competition. God.

[D]

Nothing better than good dap, though.

[B]

My kid and I have a. We. I 100 agree with the Knucks, but me.

[A]

Hold on. Before we go there, I. Me and Ann dap each other up. Do you guys dap up your wife ever?

[B]

I try to.

[D]

She won't at times. At time. Probably maybe once a month.

[B]

Yeah. Is not into it.

[A]

Is this really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's just something different about dapping up your wife for some reason.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel closer to my wife when we dap up than if we hug.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't know for sure you guys feel that way.

[C]

Sure.

[D]

I think because hubs, hugs feel like obligatory. Yeah. In a relationship. But like, daps are not.

[A]

And they're always, they're always organic.

[D]

Correct. Correct.

[A]

It's like, you know, I get home and Anne's like, hey, you ate all those chicken nuggies. And like, let's go. She.

[B]

My wife won't do it. She. I'll throw the hand up, like, put her there, dog. And like, I, I now I just say something cheese dick every time.

[D]

I think that's where you and she look.

[B]

Originally I just wanted her to dap me up, and now it's become a bit.

[D]

Instead of saying, put her there, dog, just say, let's go.

[B]

Yeah. That's how it all started. It was very natural to start, but she hates it. But me and my five year old, we have a clean dap.

[A]

I like that.

[B]

A lot of chemistry there.

[A]

Well, and that's like, you know, there's tons of stuff that we never grow out of. So what are some stuff that guys never grow out of?

[B]

I mean, I think there's two obvious ones right off the bat. We never stop. We never grow out of loving boobs.

[A]

Boobs, boobs. A hundred percent.

[B]

Just like from the day we're born to the day we die.

[A]

Even if you're an ass guy, you're still into boobs.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Boobs are all.

[D]

Now who, like, would you guys say, like, Sydney Sweeney is the Pam Anderson of 2025?

[B]

For sure. Totally. Y. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. You said two things. Is that the two things?

[B]

Boob one and two got it, got it. Yeah.

[C]

I thought you going to say tits and ass.

[B]

Yeah, I just.

[A]

Little TNA boobs and tits.

[B]

You. You grow into the ass love. Yeah.

[C]

You know, you work your way down.

[A]

I think another thing guys never grow out of is just watching heavy machinery. Hell, yeah. I was in the laundry room with my kid. I was holding him, and he was. I look out the window and the house that's getting built a couple houses down, you can see the crane popping over. So we stood by the window and watched the crane work for a little while. Yeah, it's just the best.

[B]

Yep. At our old building, they had construction going on forever. I literally took them there for an afternoon to just watch on that dirt pile that was behind our dumpsters.

[A]

Yeah, it's like, doesn't matter if you're two. Doesn't matter if you're 200. Every guy has big truck moments.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

That'll stop you in your tracks. And you just admire what's going on.

[C]

That's why so many kids are at like, Monster Jam.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that's. And that's why so many kids get to go to Monster Jam because they're like, oh, honey, I'll take them to an event. And he's like, let's go.

[B]

Are you ready, Grave Digger?

[A]

Wait, kids tickets are only five bucks.

[C]

But, honey, it's on Sunday. Sunday. Sunday.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know, buddy. Do you want to go get a pit pass?

[A]

That's good. Yeah.

[D]

Do you guys remember on the. On the playgrounds when we were younger, like those excavator type deals that you sit. You can like, rotate on the chair and use your.

[B]

Dude elite.

[D]

I ran into one of those a couple weekends ago on a playground.

[A]

And I hurt your shin or what?

[D]

No, I could. I mean, I could have sat on that thing all day and hour.

[B]

It's the best too. And it's P Rock.

[A]

Oh, my God, dude.

[D]

P Rock just flows.

[A]

Do you guys ever. With your kid. You there, you're doing something with them. Then he gets bored of it and. But you want to keep doing it for sure all the time. Then you feel kind of dumb and guilty that you're still doing it with Magnetil's number one thing for me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He is too young for him. So, like, he gets bored after like a minute and a half.

[B]

Y.

[A]

Then I'm like, don't you kind of want to keep build stuff, bud?

[B]

But like, yeah, you can't put that right there because that would ruin the. We like triangles here. And we need structural integrity, buddy.

[A]

I Kind of have, like, a thing going. So don't put the red one there.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

A yellow one goes there.

[B]

That's very clearly the yellow wall. Yeah.

[D]

Or you, like, trying to figure out something to do with your kid and you just try and nudge them towards something that you actually want to do that involves their toys.

[B]

I'm so guilty of that. Like, not forcing my likes onto them, but really heavily. Like, you should do this because it's.

[D]

What I like for sure. Then we can both have fun doing it. Yep. Another thing that guys never grow out of is writing your name in cursive when you take a piss in the snow.

[B]

Yeah. Once you get it, you don't grow out of it.

[D]

Correct. Yes. And it's so satisfying when you just like, maybe haven't broken the seal yet. You just got a bladder full. And then you can maybe even get first, last name or first. First name, middle initial.

[B]

That's something that I totally do is like, I'll gauge the piss. Like, I think this one just might be initials. I don't know if I got enough for full first and last name.

[D]

Yeah. And then if your car starts coming.

[A]

Out and you're like, wow, this is. It's coming out way more strong than I thought. I'm going to run out of room.

[B]

I got to pitch it off a little.

[D]

The R in my name is going to be bold.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Dot the I really aggressively.

[D]

Yeah. If you're just slowly running out towards the end of your name, you just do, like, the. Like, the lines underneath your name, they look pretty.

[C]

More emphasis.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah. Like you're signing a exclamation mark. Could do next. Yeah. Could. Could roll in your exclamation. Oh, sh.

[A]

Good thing I don't have an I in my name, am I?

[B]

You have two in your last name in the same main vein.

[A]

You think that I got enough juice in me to get my full first and last name. You are dreaming.

[B]

You drink enough beers and hold it in.

[D]

It's more. So just got to be like. Like a sign your name on the dotted line type deal. Like what your signature would look like. So you just kind of just fade out the last part in a line.

[B]

A little dribble.

[C]

If we lock you on a party bus for an hour, I bet we.

[A]

Could get full first off for sure.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

My.

[A]

Let's do the pits challenge.

[D]

My buddy. We were on a party bus.

[A]

Can you get your full first and last name in the snow?

[D]

That's a good point. We were on a party bus. It was like 20. 2018 or something. New Year's Eve. And we were going to the next spot. He filled an entire simply lemonade bottle. I shouldn't say the entire one. It was like, right up to where the gooseneck starts.

[B]

That's crazy. I got.

[D]

I have a picture of it, too. It's insane.

[C]

Just a picture.

[B]

That's a lot of piss. That's a gallon of piss.

[D]

That's a lot of piss.

[B]

Half gallon. Either way, good. Same main vein bodily functions. Something you never grow out of is thinking farts are funny.

[A]

My kid is finally hit the age where he thinks they're funny, and he knows that he's doing something that's a little bit like, I don't know what's socially unacceptable.

[B]

And he thinks it's funny getting away with it.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. My kid just farted on Miles leg the other day.

[A]

He did. And.

[D]

And he. Hilarious, like, ran away laughing. I'm like, I. I didn't teach you that.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Well, Meg didn't teach it to him.

[A]

Who knows?

[D]

Maybe the dog or something. I don't know. I don't know what he's learned at daycare.

[C]

I got another one. It'd be Mac and cheese.

[B]

Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah.

[A]

Spirals are regular.

[C]

I like regular.

[A]

I'm a spirals guy through and through.

[D]

Spirals are good.

[B]

I'm a shell spaz.

[D]

We've been doing shells lately. Yep.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, Velveeta and Kraft Mac and Cheese are different in my mind, even though they're, what, the same company? I don't know if you're going for Velveeta shells and cheese versus just regular macaroni and me. They're same church, different pew.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I think Velveeta is like Hormel or something.

[A]

I have no idea who owns Velveeta.

[B]

But they're my favorite. Mac and cheese.

[A]

Yeah, I would agree.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I think kinds.

[D]

Crap.

[A]

Craft.

[C]

Oh, duh.

[A]

Yeah, Craft.

[D]

Heinz, Kraft Heinz.

[C]

Whoops.

[B]

So they just cornered the market on Mac and cheese. The two best Mac and cheeses.

And sometimes they're the same thing when you're a kid and when you're an adult, sometimes it's fun to collect some rocks.

[B]

I was just gonna say that rocks in general, like, I don't think that's the one thing you will always think are cool.

[A]

Yeah, rocks are cool.

[B]

They got it. My kids have a whole collection of rocks that just aren't cool, but they think they're cool.

[D]

I just found, like, I found a rock a couple weeks ago on my gravel road that it's like, it's. It. It's not. It's like a smoky, clear type deal.

[A]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[D]

Shouldn't be in a gravel road. And because it is, I'm going to take it and put it on my workbench.

[B]

Nice.

[D]

And it's just going to stay up for a while.

[B]

See, that's a cool rock.

[A]

And you know what women would do? They would go, well, why would you do that? Isn't that just going to take up space? And then the response is always, just because I want to.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You don't have to have a reason to collect a rock. When I collect anything, really, I like.

[B]

To look at it.

[A]

Yeah. If you come across a great stick, you're not going to keep on to it your whole life. But keeping it for a half hour and just having it feels so good.

[D]

Swinging like a baseball bat.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And then hearing the swish.

[A]

Maybe try it out as like a. How does it. How's it feel as a handgun?

[B]

Yeah. You know, you do a couple of Gandalfs with it. If it's a. You shall not pass. If it's a long one.

[C]

Yeah. Harry Potter.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is it a wand?

[D]

Yep. That chooses the wizard Leviosa.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I just think collecting stuff in general, you know, and the adult version is like, you collect tools for your garage. A lot of people collect cars and they don't all have to work.

[D]

Even neon signs.

[A]

Neon signs? Yeah, sports cards.

[B]

I used to collect tin cups. Like tin coffee cups.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Oh, sure.

[B]

Yeah. I go on vacation, buy tin cup from.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

My dad and mom would get a shot glass on every vacation they'd go to. And they displayed it in the bar in the basement, you know? Yeah. I just think you just never grow out of collecting stuff. My kid, he puts. He's got a little, like, little car thing that we push front. He's. It's got a frunk.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Trunk.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

You go in there. My garage, right now, there's rocks in it.

[D]

Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Put something in it. I. I kind of recently started collecting horseshoes because I started finding horseshoes in my yard.

[A]

I showed you.

[B]

It's kind of neat. You gotta get a metal detector.

[D]

I know, dude. I have four horseshoes now. I found them all in my yard after like a big rain and everything kind of settled. I got four horseshoes.

[A]

Didn't we talk about this?

[D]

No.

[A]

Oh, I don't think you talked about this.

[D]

Yeah. In my garage.

[A]

And I said you now like have a name for your property. The Four horseshoes. Yeah.

[C]

Lucky.

[B]

That's great. That's great.

[A]

You need to make a. A wooden entrance post and then put the four horseshoes on top.

[B]

And you. And you put those horseshoes, when you nail them on there, they look like a four leaf clover.

[D]

That's.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Dude. God, dude.

[A]

Cooler. And then you gotta like reside your house to do like a green color.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And all of a sudden you just got a whole theme going.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

But what if you find another horseshoe? Then it's five horseshoes.

[B]

Yeah. Well, it's the one horseshoe lodge and that's. He puts it on a shed in the back.

[A]

Oh, my God. That sounds so cool.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

The lone shoe.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Welcome to the lone shoe shed.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Yeah. That's not a bad idea, actually.

[B]

The wheels are turning. Ryan's liking it.

[D]

I know. I got room right, right. Right above the door of my shed too. I got to put an old European on that. I don't care if it gets trashed or the horseshoe.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Dude. And then if you find another horseshoe and maybe it's like chipped off or. Bro, like part of it's broken, then your basement bar is the broken horseshoe.

[D]

Yep.

[C]

Or if it's rusty. The rusty horseshoe.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. Put that in your bedroom. That's you can call your bedroom.

[B]

You want to go to the Rusty Horseshoe tonight?

[D]

All great ideas. I'll keep collecting.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Another thing that guys never grow out of is skipping rocks.

[B]

Hell yeah.

[D]

The joy of getting like. Like a double digit skipper. Yeah.

[B]

And like a legit double digit. Not like it does it twice and then does like six little pissing at.

[D]

Once at the end.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You got to be able to count them out.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

The at the end. I don't really know if you can. I think you can count that as one.

[A]

Oh, when that happens, I always go like 15. Yeah.

[D]

30. And on top of that, finding the perfect skipping rock, too. Oh, my God.

[C]

But I think there's too much pressure when I find the perfect skipping rock.

[A]

I never skip it. Good.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

See, my best skips always come from mediocre rocks.

[C]

Exactly.

[D]

Yeah. You're not wrong.

[B]

Oh, you're doing the pitch thing. You just stuck out two fingers and started going like this. What the.

[D]

That's a two seamer right there. You know, two seam fastballs.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, you have a competitive advantage. You were a submarine pitcher.

[B]

Correct. Ryan's probably so good at skipping rocks, he could just go out to the pond on the property and skip the same rock because he'd get it over the pond.

[A]

Yeah. Just keep going back or something. Play tennis.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Like John Rom at the masters par three competition.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Skipped it over the water.

[A]

I think another thing guys never grow out of is just like making grunting noises. I do it to my kid, he.

[B]

Does it back to me.

[A]

You know, I don't know where he's at in the room. Maybe he's on the other side of the island. You just grunt. He'll grunt back. You know where he's at.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, it's like people are worried about losing their kid in a department store or something. If you just let out a grunt, they'll grunt back. It's just human nature.

[D]

I started implementing the head shake towards the end of the grunt. So I'll go.

[A]

Yeah, we know. We didn't think you were going basic cable.

[D]

No, there's gotta be. There's got to be some fireworks towards.

[B]

The end of it. I do a lot of water boy noises to my kids. I run after him.

[A]

It's. And it's like. It's also funny too, because I'll just like get on the ground on my hands and knees. Like I'm going to attack him, you know, and he just runs into me.

[B]

He's not scared of you.

[D]

Just.

[A]

Guys just never Grow out of rough housing, too. You seen. You've seen a couple guys get drunk in a shop, they're going to be wrestling on the floor in, like, 15 minutes.

[B]

Y. Indian leg wrestling in the shop.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

So it's a classic.

[D]

Yeah. That's a true test of. I mean, I. Strength, power, agility, quickness.

[C]

Yeah. Same vein. Would be, like, dribbling a ball or, like, shooting hoops. Never grow out of that.

[A]

Yeah. Just having a catch.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[C]

And then sort of athletic with a ball.

[A]

Anytime you get a ball in your hand, it's just like, you got to do something with it.

[D]

See what I like, if I get. If I pick a baseball up, I'm not. Not necessarily gonna throw it, but I'm gonna. I'm gonna hold every single pitch that I know how to hold.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I'm gonna go split finger, and I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go slider, and then four seam, two seam.

[B]

I did the same, and I didn't. It wasn't a pitcher.

[D]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, and then the next step is you. Even if you're not gonna throw it, you wind up like you're gonna throw it and go through the.

[D]

Like a ghost throw.

[B]

Like, I hold it like a knuckle curve, and I'll just flick my wrist.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

I have it in my hand, and I'll just flick my wrist like I'm throwing the curve.

[D]

Yeah. God, it's so weird.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Why do we do that stuff?

[A]

It's the best, and we've been doing it since we were. Yeah.

[C]

If I have a basketball, like, practice my finger over my form a little bit.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I'll try and do the. The Harlem Globetrotter, have it roll all the way around my arms.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Still can't spin a ball in my finger, though, so that's probably.

[D]

I can't either.

[A]

That could be your New Year's res. Oh, I forgot. I got to solve a Rubik's Cube by the end of the year.

[B]

Yeah. I got to remember my resolutions.

[C]

I remember yours.

[A]

Save that. That's a great resolution for next year.

[C]

Put in the back.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

No, you're saying it's fucking stupid. No, you will later.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

Of course.

[A]

You can do something harder than that.

[D]

Another thing guys never grow out of is saying Colby when they shoot something in the garbage.

[C]

That's a good one.

[D]

Rest in peace. But, you know, especially now, you got to keep the memory alive.

[B]

Y. Yeah. In, like, five years, like, they won't even know why they're saying Kobe. They Just know to say it could be curry. Nah, we can't give them that. And I'm not a basketball guy.

[A]

You guys got anything else that we never grew out of?

[C]

Legos? I still like.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. I'm not gonna go buy Legos, but if there's an opportunity where Legos are in front of me, you don't think that I'm diving deep, balls deep into that? You're dreaming.

[D]

Hell yeah.

[B]

I just think any of the building things.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like the Legos and mega tiles are the same vein.

[C]

That's true.

[B]

Like Lincoln Logs. My grandma still has Lincoln Logs. I built like a two bedroom cabin the other day.

[D]

Nice.

[A]

Sick.

[D]

Yeah, I was like building the rocket ship on with the magnetiles.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[D]

Rocket ship's pretty easy one.

[B]

Yep. You guys ever use the guide?

[D]

Yeah, that's how, I mean that's how I learned how to do the rocket ship right away.

[B]

I didn't know it came with a guide. And when I found out it had a guidebook, I made every single thing in it.

[D]

Oh, it's the best for what?

[B]

The magnetiles.

[A]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[C]

Drawing dicks on a whiteboard. Never grow out of that.

[A]

Yeah, just, yeah. Drawing dicks or, or on.

[D]

I did that window.

[A]

I did somebody's car. Yeah. On my honeymoon, I, I, I drew a dick in the sand on the beach.

[B]

Hell yeah.

[D]

With a stick or finger.

[A]

With my finger.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I like to get down dirty. Sure. When I'm drawing dicks.

[D]

I think I've told this story before, but one time, my buddy, he got a lot of trouble in elementary school because he drew a 3 hair in one of our classmates yearbooks. Permanent marker too, mind you. So I thought it was some kind of petty to get in trouble for, but the kid.

[A]

It's also if it's in the yearbook, that's at the end of the year. What are they gonna do, suspend them next year?

[B]

Hold him back this year.

[C]

School. Exactly.

[A]

Oh, she's summer school for that.

[D]

She snitched on him so hard.

[C]

So mean.

[D]

I know.

[B]

Ben.

[D]

Dylan. No, no, his name's not Dylan.

[C]

You could make it like look like a rocket ship and say you're gonna fly so high. There's a way to spin it.

[B]

Yeah, I would. I'll draw the two ball and then have the dick pointing down. And then if, if people are like, you can't be drawing dicks, then you just make the balls eyes and then put a smiley face under the dick and then it's just someone with a big nose.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Squidward.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

That's a good one. For all you kids listening.

[D]

I mean, I don't think guys will ever grow out of that's what she said. Jokes.

[C]

No, I don't want it forever.

[D]

No, it's gotta. I mean, it's. It's got to be a perfect opportunity.

[B]

They still hit.

[D]

That's what she said.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

Okay, I'm convinced after that. That was good. Yeah, that was good.

[C]

That's what she said.

[A]

Keep going. That's what she.

[D]

Is that it?

[B]

That's what she said.

[D]

Thank you for that.

[B]

I think we all got one there.

[A]

That's what she said. Can't say anything.

[B]

We're all on pins and needles.

[C]

Let's be silent for next hour.

[A]

All right, Jared, let's see what you got. That's what she said for the next segment. Wait. I believe it's about going into a coma. Correct.

[C]

If you woke up From a coma 10 years ago, what would be the first things you would ask?

[A]

You woke up today. That you. You've been in a coma for 10 years and you woke up today?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

If you woke.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

If you were in a coma for 10 years and you woke up today, what are the questions you had asked? I think number one, I'm asking. Kesha is the biggest artist in the world, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Gotta be Katy Perry, baby.

[A]

Katy Perry. Everyone loves Katy Perry, right?

[D]

Amy Winehouse had to have gotten sober, right?

[C]

I think she died in like 2009.

[D]

Oh, really?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay, well, they're not asking that because.

[B]

There'S some memory loss with the coma.

[D]

Yeah, memory loss, coma.

[B]

He reverted to 2009.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Can I get my hands on that new Puff Daddy album?

[B]

Did Teddy Bridgewater finally take the Vikings to a Super Bowl?

[C]

Depressing.

[D]

You guys swing through the McDonald's drive thru, get some out the dollar menu. Yeah.

[A]

Hey, it's 3:00am do you want to go to Walmart or McDonald's? Because they're always open, right? There's nothing that can happen in the world that would cause them to not be open 24 7. Right?

[D]

Yeah. I remember the only time they weren't open was from midnight to noon on Sundays because of church.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah. The blue laws.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

If I woke up from a 10 year coma, one question I would ask would be like, bitcoin's got to be at like a thousand bucks right now, isn't it?

[B]

Has it been around that long?

[D]

You imagine 2015, the price was like 300 bucks.

[B]

Holy shit.

[A]

Imagine if right before you went into a coma, you were about to buy like a thousand shares of bitcoin, and then you go into a coma, wake up 10 years later, and you didn't. You were just going like this, and then you had like a heart attack or.

[B]

No, that's how you win the coma. You press enter and you got electrocuted by the computer and it fried it.

[A]

Before it sent the thing on the blockchain.

[D]

Yeah. Your mom came downstairs and just scared the out of you. So you just went into a coma. Heart attack? I don't know. Vehicle ran through your house or something.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

2015 would be the year you went into a coma.

[C]

What's El degeneres been up to?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, I miss her show.

[C]

Go catch up on all the reruns.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

How was Hillary Clinton as president?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

A lot of political ones.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

A lot of political ones.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

So what's his only fans that people keep talking about? It's like a sports team thing for super fans or what?

[A]

Hello. You just woke up from a coma and people are already talking to you about only fans.

[B]

The nurse is just in there just chatting about it.

[A]

There's probably a good chance that your nurse is on Only fans. Could be a point.

[D]

So they're like, just on the verge of like quitting their full time job.

[A]

Job.

[C]

Yeah. Did we. Did we get Cony?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What was that again?

[B]

Cony.

[A]

20, 2012.

[B]

We got to stop him. He has child. Children. What? He had child soldiers. Soldiers or something.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

She's like sending kids with guns to fight people. And people are like, we're not going to kill these kids. So then they would lose their fight.

[A]

I don't remember. I. I remember the Coney. I don't remember that very well.

[B]

He wasn't great.

[D]

It was. I think it was a pa. I think we talked about that on Patreon.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Long time ago.

[A]

Hey, do you mind if we go to the zoo? I heard they got this awesome gorilla named Haram.

[B]

Yeah, I've been itching to see him.

[A]

Hurdy's Great entertainment.

[D]

I've been dying to see him.

[B]

We're probably over the whole Kardashian thing by now, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Jared Fogel. You keep that weight off.

[B]

I think he was canceled by 2015.

[A]

He had to have been canceled by.

[C]

2015, but I think the answer would be yes. He probably has kept the weight off.

[B]

Probably. Yeah. They don't feed you while in prison.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Another question I'd ask if I woke up from a 10 year coma is they ever figure out if that dress was blue or gold?

[B]

That's a good one.

[D]

I've been dying to know if they figured out blue or gold. What's wrong with people's eyes these days? Clearly it's cold.

[C]

Are the people still doing the Harlem shake?

[B]

Yeah, yeah. What else?

[A]

What was that?

[B]

Mannequin challenge.

[A]

The mannequin challenge won a Grammy, right?

[B]

I won the mannequin challenge. Right. I've been doing it for 10 years.

[A]

Wait, you weren't in a coma? No.

[D]

Can you imagine a hospital bill being in a colon for 10 years?

[C]

It's a lot of bones.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

The ending of Game of Thrones had to be an elite.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Can I watch that now?

[B]

It's got to be out, right? And George R.R. martin's definitely finished the books, right?

[A]

Little canon joke for you.

[B]

That's not even a canon thing. He just hasn't finished the book.

[A]

It's canon.

[B]

No, that's not how it works.

[D]

It falls under water.

[A]

It's canon.

[D]

It's canon.

[B]

I don't. I don't think you'll ever finish them.

[A]

It's canon.

[C]

Walking Dead's probably off the air, right?

[B]

Is that actually still going?

[C]

I think there's like a million spin offs.

[B]

Yeah, I know there's a spin off, but it's like the OG one still ripping Like Grey's Anatomy. Never stop.

[C]

I'm not sure. I haven't watched it in forever. Since 0.15.

[A]

Flint, Michigan solved their water problem, right?

[B]

I don't know. Have they?

[A]

I don't think really?

[C]

It takes a while.

[D]

Ten years?

[A]

A while?

[C]

I don't know.

[D]

I don't know. Kobe ever get a head coaching position in the NBA? Mind you, I'm a Kobe, Stan.

[A]

I could say that the celebrity death.

[D]

That like will stick with me forever.

[A]

Where were you when it happened?

[D]

I was in the shower.

[C]

Ew.

[D]

Oh, I was in the shower. My white. My. My wife.

[A]

Because I was at the office. So that's really embarrassing for you that I was grinding while I probably baptism.

[B]

Why were you at an office?

[D]

It was in 2020.

[B]

It had been like a Sunday.

[C]

It was a Sunday.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because I was shining. I used to grind back then.

[C]

Sticking to sports ones.

[B]

Tom Brady stayed retired, right?

[C]

Yeah. It would be like LeBron's tired.

[A]

That doesn't make any sense because he.

[B]

Retired and came back like three times.

[A]

He retired, but it was way after 2015. So he was still been playing.

[B]

I think his first retirement was in.

[C]

Like 2014, 2019, I think it was.

[B]

That was his first one. Yeah.

[A]

So you play a long time.

[C]

I think a better One would be. Is LeBron retired yet?

[B]

Yeah, still playing.

[D]

February 2022. Tom Brady first retired.

[A]

He only retired once. Well, he's retired twice now.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it was all within a span of a year.

[D]

Retired in 2022 after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers playoff loss. He then unretired less than six weeks later, citing unfinished business.

[A]

And then he still lost.

[D]

He still lost.

[C]

Yeah. Did Brett Favre get that volleyball volleyball court built?

[A]

He did.

[B]

It is built.

[D]

I forgot about that.

[B]

Yeah. You hurt me, Brett.

[D]

You guys ever seen the Untold on Brett Favre?

[C]

I saw it.

[D]

That's a good. That's a good documentary.

[A]

So is it now just told?

[D]

Now it's told.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Mind of a Show title.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, because it's immediately after you release the first episode, you have to change the name of it from Untold to Told.

[B]

There's enough. There's an episode of Unsolved Mysteries where the murder is solved.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They'll do it.

[B]

I never thought of that.

[D]

You can't believe anything you see online.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Or on TV.

[A]

Hey, is that. That. What's that PayPal guy up to?

[B]

Yes.

[D]

What is he up to?

[B]

He.

[A]

He probably started another currency thing, right?

[B]

I'm missing this one.

[A]

Elon Musk, he started PayPal. He was in the PayPal mafia. There was a bunch of guys.

[D]

No, Peter. Yeah, that's who I'm thinking of. Yeah. P.T.

[C]

Yeah. We must be on Mars by now, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't think in 2015 we were even. Mars isn't even our radar.

[B]

It was just a science fiction thing. Yeah, like we talked about it in books.

[D]

Where the. Did the driver go? This taxi cab? Waymo. That's a Waymo joke.

[A]

We got it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, don't worry. Anything I buy on Amazon will show up in two days, so I'll just order it quick. Horseshit.

[D]

Those are the days. I did just order some batteries yesterday, though, and they showed up today.

[C]

Nice.

[B]

Nice.

[D]

So anyway.

[A]

Any other things you guys say while you're. I feel like I need, like. I feel like I need, like, a chart of stuff that happened between 2013 and 2015.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Well, I just. To me, there's two different eras.

[A]

It's.

[D]

It's 2015 to 2020, and then it's like 2022 to present. It's like pre. Covered, post Covid.

[B]

Skipped. Skipped Covid.

[C]

Ice Bucket Challenge.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

So they cured ALS with that, right?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

The Yodel boy is a top country artist now, right?

[D]

Mr. Ramsey's gotta be like 20, kinda 8 years old, right.

[A]

He is popular.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Celebrity nudes happen in 20. God, the world was different. That's on the list of the top things that happened in 2015. That wouldn't even sniff a list of, like, a thousand into 2020. Yeah. Now we have celebrities selling their nude photos on only fans.

[C]

Oh, yeah, the Oscar selfie. That's right.

[B]

Yeah. With Ellen. God, break the Internet, Alan.

[A]

That had to have been just, like, a clear turning point of the world's going downhill, right?

[B]

It might have been. What if that's, like, our, like, catalyst moment that time travelers have to go back and stop? Yeah, it's up there.

[D]

So. Okay, I know what the picture looks like, but what. What's the significance behind it?

[A]

It's just they thought that they were just like, oh, the world's gonna lo. Fact that all of us famous people took a selfie together.

[C]

I think it brought down Twitter. That was the big thing about it.

[B]

Like.

[A]

Like, that was when, like, selfie was taking a selfie was, like, still a new thing. And so the fact that these really famous people were taking a selfie was like, oh, my God, look how relatable they are.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Oh, my God. They're just like us in their $4,000 tuxes. In this photo, they're just like us.

[D]

Yeah. Well, then you had Chris Rock and you had Chris Rock and Will Smith.

[B]

They're still best buddies, right?

[D]

They gotta be. Any projects coming up together or. Jada Pinkett Smith. She's a great gal. Whoops.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You would be surprised. Like, 2015 is the cutoff, because once 2016 hit and Trump got elected the wild, the world started getting pretty wild, I feel like. So 2015 is definitely the cutoff. That in. That's the shortest amount of time that the most wild has happened.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

You know, because if you go back to 2010, you're like, oh, not that much more crazy has happened. Or even, you know, 2000 is probably the next cutoff. Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

911 happened in 01, and a lot of, you know.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Shrek.

[A]

But 2000 Shrek. Old school.

[D]

Yep, yep.

[C]

Wedded crashers.

[A]

Crashers.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

We're in the.

[B]

All the American pies.

[A]

American pies, Britney Spears, you know, all the important. In sync. So, yeah.

[C]

Another thing. Be like, I. I bet the rest of the Star wars movies were great, right?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Were they not one was really good.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

This is. This is where actually you dive into the whole canon.

[B]

Talk with Tyler about real canon. Yeah.

[A]

Mitochondria carbons. What are they called? And how that works and all that. So if you'd like to have a canon talk with Tyler, I just.

[B]

There's just so much groundwork that needs to be laid first. Exactly. Corner. Yeah.

[A]

You should have a canon corner podcast where you just break down all the stuff that goes against canon law.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And TV shows.

[D]

And then once you run out of stuff to talk about, you can just transition into, like, Civil war Cannons.

[A]

Yeah, cannonballs. Cannons. Cannonballs.

[D]

And then you can go into cameras.

[A]

You could do a whole season of the show on Nick Cannon.

[D]

Yeah, Nick Cannon.

[B]

And then each of his kids. So that'll last a while. Probably longer than the other. Like the movie cannons.

[D]

I think if you did a year per kid, I'd be like 11, 12 years.

[B]

And then I'll go. Each era's Pamela Anderson cannons.

[A]

Yeah. Then you can. Yeah, you just turn into a show just raiding boobs.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

You never have to rebrand.

[B]

Yeah, we'll just keep. Keep the cannons.

[A]

This might be the most evergreen topic we've ever come up with.

[D]

Who knew canon could be. You'd be so versatile.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

I'll definitely.

[D]

And then you could go into Cannon vegetables.

[A]

Yeah, Cannon.

[B]

For now, we're Cannon.

[D]

Can't like canon. Yeah. Beans, whatever.

[A]

Pickles.

[C]

Cannon arms in the NFL.

[D]

There we go.

[B]

Yep. Yep.

[D]

There we go.

[A]

Yeah, I like it.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

Should we take a break?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

All right, guys, it is officially whiskey season, and the boys are putting back some Windsor today. It's pretty good. I actually had a pretty funny Windsor moment a couple weeks ago at deer camp. I brought. I brought the boys some 175s. As you can see. We got right here in the studio. I brought some 175s to the hunting camp. And my uncle, he is the most die hard Windsor guy.

[B]

Oh, yeah, he.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You know. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, Yeah.

[D]

I forgot about that.

[A]

And so I showed up and his son, my cousin, was like, oh, God. He's going, yeah, you vying for favorite nephew in the entire world? And I show up with a bunch of Windsor bottles, and I hand him a bottle of the regular Windsor and the Windsor reserve. And he was just. You could. Christmas morning. Christmas morning. And the best part, though, is he takes both bottles and then all of a sudden, he looked like. Like Gollum with the ring. One of the rings. And he went. And he went directly to his bedroom and stashed him in his personal stash in his bedroom.

[B]

Did you bring them for everybo?

[A]

Brought enough for everyone, basically, But I gave him an extra One. And he went and stashed them away from everyone else immediately.

[D]

I. I respect it. Keep what's yours, you know, And I.

[A]

Think that that's an important thing to think about this holiday season, is you probably have a guy out there that would love to have an extra stash of Windsor in his bedroom. Just breaking case of emergency bottle. Yeah, I was glad I was able to do that for my old uncle.

[B]

So nephew of the year.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

If you want to be nephew years, just start buying Windsor.

[D]

Easy enough.

[A]

So cheers to that, Ryan. Cheers to whiskey season. Cheers to Windsor, guys. All right, guys, Tyler has a story for us, and he was hyping this up to me earlier. He didn't tell me what it was, but he said this is the most revolutionary piece of parenting advice. Yeah, maybe parenting strategy.

[B]

I would call it a parenting hack.

[A]

Okay? The most revolutionary parenting hack since the iPad.

[B]

Honestly, I truly think it is. And I had this as a theory, and I shared my theory with Ryan a couple of days ago. But now I have since tested the theory twice, and it is proven true both times. So what I have done is I have made bedtime a half an hour earlier. And what is one thing that all children universally hate? It's bedtime. So I moved it a half an hour earlier because I can get them to do any chore I want if it means they get to avoid bedtime. And they're still going to bed at the exact same time as they used to because I moved it up a half an hour.

[D]

And it works because it's dark out in that. Even in the. If you move it up a half hour, it's still dark.

[B]

And they cannot. They cannot read a clock yet.

[A]

Okay, so I get it. I get it. So basically, yeah, like, you could start doing even earlier. You could be like. Like as soon as the sun goes down. All right, it's almost bedtime. But okay, fine, we'll watch one movie before bed, but then you promise you go to bed immediately after. Essentially, it.

[B]

Yeah. So what spurted? I was like, all right, guys, bedtime. Let's get ready for bed. Bed. And my three year old's like, I can't. I have to put my clothes away. And the little started putting his folded clothes away in the dresser.

[C]

I love it.

[B]

And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's happening? Like, honey, don't do anything. Let them do it. And they put away all the clothes so they didn't have to go to bed. So last night, to the five year old, Mike, it's bedtime, dude. We gotta go to bed. He's like, no, dad. I'm like, wow, we can do the dishes. And he did the dishes.

[A]

Let's go.

[B]

It was awesome.

[A]

So it's a classic refit, reframe situation.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Yeah. Next you got to get like a headlamp for them and then they go pick up dog.

[A]

Yeah. This is like the parenting way of Amazon on prime day. Just marking their prices up and then marking them back down. So the same price, but they look like a 40 discount.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Essentially what you're doing.

[B]

Yeah. Children Bezos, parenting.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We'll call it Just Deception.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So I highly recommend it. I'm gonna do it again tonight. I just got to figure out what chore needs to be done.

[A]

Yeah, that'd be great though. Like, you run out of chores and then you're like a. I just got put in bed now.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

He's gonna be up at 3.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

5:30.

[B]

They put their clothes away. The dishes are done. They did the garbage. The grout has been scrubbed.

[A]

They edged the lawn well. Raked all the leaves.

[D]

Yeah. Scalp the grass for winter.

[A]

They rewired the. The chandelier. You know what, what else we supposed to do?

[B]

Yeah, they clean the gutters for me. So I guess you got to go to bed.

[A]

You just, you just literally get your kids a job. Like a night shift job. Cuz you're like, yeah, they did all the chores and I can't send them to bed now, so why don't you go pick up a shift down at the hardware store, Earn.

[B]

Yeah, we can go to bed or you can go to work. And then I think the worst case scenario is if they don't want to do the chores, they just go to bed. I haven't gotten to that point yet where they're like, fine, we'll go to bed. But that. That's their only other option.

[D]

That's fine. That's what you're trying to get to ultimately.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think what's funny is like, if they don't want to do chores, like you send them to bed a half hour early. Like you could just spend 30 minutes of quality time with your children.

[B]

Yeah. But it's bedtime and if they're absolute, if they don't go to bed on time.

[D]

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's hardwired and just humans not going to bedtime.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't understand that. You think when humans were created, it would be like if sleep is so important, we should hardwire into them that they desire Going to sleep.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And then you have a child, and that is the bane of their existence. It's going to sleep. Side note question, you know, your kid, you were shocked that your kid was doing chores. Is it, is this an isolated incident for my kid? He actually, like, when he's done playing with a toy, he'll go put it away.

[B]

Yeah, that. It's not the case with us.

[A]

All your kids were not like that.

[D]

Without being asked, correct?

[B]

Not, Not a single one. No.

[D]

I, I, I have.

[A]

Whose kid is this?

[D]

I gotta ask whether it's, you know, and there could be a thousand blocks on the floor or I just need him to park his little gator inside the garage. I have to ask every single time.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And like, there's times I do have to ask, but there's like a. Last weekend, it was like you went and grabbed a toy out of the cupboard, played with it, and then went and put it back before doing the next.

[B]

Yeah, that's, that's, that's rare.

[A]

I mean, parenting is so easy. I think I found the hack. Just have them come out of the womb already to go, yeah, I guess so.

[D]

Speak to a wise. In the womb. I, I have a pretty solid parenting hack. I told you this, Tyler, after you told me your story. If you ever want, if you ever want to get the TV shut off, because your kids have been watching it for however long, you just have to tell them that the TV's got a charge. And so what you can kind of start doing right away is like, all right, I got to turn the TV off. Otherwise it's just going to turn off by itself when they, when they kind of catch you being like, no, don't, don't turn that off. Because I can see your turn in the TV off. Just let it die on its own. You go in, you set a sleep timer for 15 minutes, and then remotes in front of them, they don't even. They don't. You're not turning it off. Turns off on its own. With sleep timer, that is.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

At first I was like, this is not a very good plan. Oh, it's, it's that second part of it. Saved it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

It's genius.

[B]

The sleep timer is a leak.

[D]

You can maybe get a couple weeks out of turning it off yourself. Or like you have the remote by your side where they can't see it and you turn it off. But yeah, the sleep timer now is, it's unbelievable because I, he can be watching a show, like you can be watching a show and I can Just, like, go, like, have the remote in front of him. Going to the sleep timer. He doesn't know what I'm doing.

[B]

Yeah. So it's gonna work until he can read, which you got a few years, so.

[D]

Correct.

[A]

Well, it's Ryan's kid. It's gonna be a while.

[D]

Well, I mean, he was eating solid foods at, like, two months.

[A]

Yeah, you're right.

[D]

So he's gonna be reading that, you know, four years.

[B]

This isn't like an original hack, but what I've done with the whole TV thing is like. Yeah. The show's just not on right now, so. And so is sleeping.

[C]

Blippi.

[B]

Sleeping. Can't watch Blippi.

[D]

Pep is only on Friday, Saturday, and Friday, Saturday mornings.

[B]

Yep. They don't know that. What streaming is yet. That it's on demand whenever you want it.

[D]

No, but what's the worst is that when you go into the home screen of a smart tv, like what you previously watch, she's right there. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's just a picture of Peppa. I don't know why that's up there.

[A]

I think it's so funny your kid likes Peppa because you're, like, the only parent I know whose kid that's ever brought up Peppa the pig.

[B]

Dude, my kid is a monster.

[D]

That's his favorite show. And I honestly, I kind of like Peppa, too. She's.

[A]

She's such a little. It's a girl.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. George, George, that's like Blue's Clues.

[A]

You know that? Blue is a girl. I did not know that whole childhood exploded when I found that out.

[D]

Mine just exploded now. I didn't know that. Yeah.

[A]

Blue's a girl.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Should have been Pink Clues.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Hey, kudos on them, though. We're ahead of the curve.

[B]

Yeah. They don't see color.

[D]

Jesus.

[A]

I just started doing that with you guys, you know, like, all right, it's time to do this. You're like, I don't want to do it. Like, okay, well, I guess you could clean up my office.

[D]

Well, Tyler started doing that with you. Yeah. Shoots at 8:30 this morning. I got moved up for some reason. She's actually not.

[A]

You think I'm worried about that?

[C]

I know.

[B]

That's why I lie to you about the time.

[A]

Yeah, I see.

[B]

I.

[A]

Because everyone in my life does that to me now. I know you guys are all like. You guys had, like, a convention. Was like, how can we get him to show up on time? Between you guys, my wife and my parents and my brother I know you guys got all in cahoots, talked about it, and you committed to a strategy telling me the wrong time time. But now I see through it. And if I show up on time, it's because I want to. It's not because. It's not because you told me that I should be there earlier.

[B]

You're right, Miles.

[A]

Whole everyone I know is in cahoots against me on what time to show up. But I know that now. So it's like find a new angle.

[C]

You know, maybe it could be an hour earlier instead of a half hour earlier. Maybe that'll fool you.

[A]

Would piss me off.

[D]

Yeah. Shoots at 6am this one is a lot of stuff going on today.

[B]

Miles rolls in at 8:30. Oh, right on time.

[D]

Oh yeah, we just pulled up with you.

[A]

Yeah, it's just, I think it's important to show up on time for stuff that you know. Like, if it's just your family, like having dinner, does it matter if I show up at 5:15 or 5:45? Dinner's at 6:30. Why does it matter? Oh yeah.

[D]

If that's the case, yeah, for sure.

[A]

That's why I get the most flack with my family. It's like we're gonna be together for Christmas all day and I show up at 11:30 instead of 10:45. It's you know, Armageddon.

[C]

No presence.

[A]

Getting text message from my brother. Where the are you?

[B]

Because he just wants you there.

[C]

They want to chat.

[A]

But it has eased a little bit since we had a kid. Because now it's like, ah, you know, we had to. Right before we're gonna leave. He needed a snack.

[B]

Yeah, he all over the entryway.

[A]

Car seat wasn't in my truck, so I had to put that in. Half hour.

[B]

Deal.

[D]

Or we just had to take a.

[B]

And then after I put the car seat in, obviously I was sweaty, so I had to take a shower.

[A]

And then it's like me 15 minutes before I leave, I'm just sitting in my bed and my phone just scrolling like that.

[D]

Looks like it's time to head out.

[C]

Put some pants on.

[A]

I think it's like I just, you know, I just have time blindness. You guys know that. I just.

[D]

It's gotten worse. Yeah, it's gotten worse for me too.

[A]

That's my diagnosis. You know, it's a medical thing. It's not because I just lose track. It's just I've. I can't. I don't see time.

[C]

You're so happy. That term got invented in like the last two, three Years.

[B]

If it makes you feel better, I lie to my wife about times we need to be places too.

[A]

You.

[B]

She is also a sloth.

[A]

She's.

[D]

Well.

[A]

No, she's okay. That's like so. That's so fucking insensitive to say to someone who has time blindness.

[D]

That's worse than saying her chicken is dry.

[B]

It's not anymore.

[A]

Would you go and make fun of someone? Would you go make fun of some bald person that has cancer for not being able to grow hair? Tyler, it's the same fucking thing.

[B]

I thought you were going to stop at bald person and I was going to say yes. But then you added the cancer.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I just don't know if time blindness and cancer are the same level.

[A]

Both a medical diagnosis.

[C]

Okay, I saw the tick tock.

[B]

Yeah, one is just deadly.

[A]

There was a tick tock of someone that had MD after their name and it's a medical diagnosis. They had me take a quiz on their website. All I had to do was plug in my email and my credit card number and I got a diagnosis. Okay.

[D]

You can't argue with science.

[A]

No, thank you, Ryan.

[C]

They're wearing a lab coat.

[A]

Some people call it a form of adhd, but. Okay, I'm not. I don't. I don't claim that diagnosis. I just claim type claim Time blindness.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So.

[B]

Okay, you should put that in your bio so people know ahead of time.

[A]

Actually would be nice. You know, like basically email signature. Put it in there. Like when you get a GCAL invite from someone for a meeting, it should do an auto response that just says, just so you know, I do have time blindness. So I may show up 10 to 80 minutes late and then have a.

[B]

Link to the tick tock explaining timeline.

[A]

Yeah, well, no, I'll just have a. I'll just have like a. A screenshot of the prescription that, that you know, that someone wrote for me.

[D]

Script.

[B]

Is there a cure?

[A]

We're working on it. That's why we're raising money.

[B]

Walk for time blindness.

[A]

Yeah, we got a 5k coming up on Thanksgiving, which I was heavily against.

[B]

When does it start? I'll try to be there.

[A]

Well, that's the thing about time blindness is it's a show up when you want type of event. We'll just be there all day.

[B]

So cut.

[D]

Your time just starts when you cross. Cross the start line and then it.

[A]

Finishes when you cross it actually sounds like an awesome event.

[B]

Honestly, I would. I would be upset if they give me my time after.

[A]

Well, yeah, I mean, you'll be able to read It. You're fine. I won't be able to read it.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It just. If it's on a piece of paper, it'll just have a black line in front of it. I won't be able to see.

[C]

What?

[A]

Blind to any sorts of times.

[D]

I get it.

[A]

It.

[D]

I get it.

[A]

Like, that's why I could never be a time traveler. I'd get lost.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Wouldn't be able to make it back.

[B]

You'd do fine in the land before time.

[A]

Yeah, I would. Honestly. I think, you know, people say you're an old soul. I'm a really old soul. Before they invented time.

[B]

Yeah. I mean it's really just a construct.

[C]

So correct this new gimmick of time.

[A]

If anything, I'm operating on a different dimension than you guys outside of time. So tell me, who's the smart one here?

[D]

Yeah. I mean they said time is of the essence. So if that tells you anything about it.

[B]

And they ain't making more of it any more time cliches.

[C]

I think it's time we stop.

[A]

You got some patron questions, Jared?

[C]

I have one quick thing before that.

[A]

That. Oh, okay.

[C]

Related. So I moved into a house and. Does your guys trash bin just gets absolutely filthy?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

It's disgusting.

[A]

This is me every time I have to throw trash in the trash bin.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

So that I don't have to smell it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Because I cleaned it like three months ago and it's still filthy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's no point in cleaning it ever again.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Don't. I think you can request a new one. I don't know if there's a fee with that, but you can. I think you can request a new one and they'll bring you a clean one.

[D]

Gotcha. But that's why like the trash can cleaning services, people that come by and clean your trash, it's great business. Because your trash can is always going to stink.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, there's just weird juices on the bottom.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't know. Maybe I have to steal my trash better. But I don't know.

[A]

No. 100.

[B]

It's not you.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Unless you're putting it in a vacuum sealer, there's going to be some that gets out.

[C]

Okay, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

And if you come across someone who doesn't have a stinky trash can, like have you ever seen American Psycho? Might be that guy. Yeah.

[C]

J. Yeah.

[A]

Might be Christian Bale.

[C]

Christian Bale.

[A]

Yeah. In American Psycho. So.

[D]

Dahmer.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Okay. I just wondered. Mike, this is.

[A]

That's a Hard hitting question. What else you got? What else since you moved? This is a great segment.

[C]

It.

[A]

What are things you didn't know before you moved into a house?

[C]

Jared, Do I have to roll up my hose every time, like in the winter?

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Take it off.

[A]

Yeah, take it off and bring it inside.

[C]

Okay. Do I just shut the water off to the faucets?

[D]

No.

[A]

No.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I. I also put a. I put a. Like a styrofoam thing over my faucet head.

[A]

Yeah. You're one of those guys.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah, I don't do that.

[C]

That.

[A]

I haven't even stayed in the bench yet.

[C]

So you think I'm good advice from you?

[A]

Well, no, honestly though, it's great to get advice from me because actually between Tyler and I, you're gonna get the bare minimum of what you need to do and probably the higher end of what you need to do. And so then you just want to land somewhere in the middle.

[D]

Yeah. Throw. Cover.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Just maybe like throw a tampon up the. Up the faucet. It's kind of a middle ground between me and Tyler.

[B]

Yeah. Just tape a Walmart bag over it. Yeah.

[D]

Put your downspouts up.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Okay. Yep.

[D]

Cover.

[A]

You don't have to do that.

[D]

Cover over the ac.

[A]

You do not have to put the downspouts up. I. I mean, so I think if you want to just prop it up a little bit, that's probably a good middle ground between Ryan and I here.

[C]

Don't go full way.

[A]

Yeah, you know, it just. You don't have to.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Well, there's stuff. Since you moved into a house, last.

[C]

One would probably be like, my grass.

[A]

Is a little long.

[C]

Should I wait till the winter or should I mow it one more time?

[B]

Time.

[A]

What do you mean wait? What do you see by way till the winter or spring?

[C]

Sorry.

[A]

You want to cut that baby as short as you can that you feel comfortable with.

[B]

Why, Miles?

[A]

Because if you keep it too long and you live in an area that voles are there, they will burrow themselves into your long grass and eat it and kill your. Not kill your lot, but destroy it.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

You don't want to cut. Yeah, don't cut it as short.

[A]

Not. It's as short as normal mo.

[D]

Keep it. Because a lot of the grasses around here is Kentucky bluegrass. It's a. It's a. A winter blend. Essentially, 2 to 3 inches is about perfect. But if you have 4 inch grass, you don't want to cut it down to 2 and 1 mo. You want to go like down to 3 and then down to 2.

[A]

You can definitely just do it for the last.

[B]

Last one of the year. You can do it.

[A]

Just do it one more.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Like. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's not going to. Look at.

[A]

You're gonna get a, B, C, D, e, f, or 1, 2, 3, or whatever.

[B]

Mine does shows the inches. So I got one. One and a half, two, two.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's say you're on a three. Normally drop it down to two on the last mall.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Oh, yeah, no, I'm saying from 4 to 2.

[C]

Yeah. 50 fortitude.

[B]

Make sure you do measure it, though. Get a ruler out there so you know what you're going.

[D]

I did do that. I had. My grass is five and a half inches long and it's prime.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Got you. Yeah, I think that's all I got for that.

[D]

Five and a half inches is.

[B]

That's long as.

[D]

Yeah, it's like, how do you even walk around? It's like I was living on the prairie.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, that's what they cut fairways to, right? Five and a half inches, like. Yeah.

[B]

Yep. I think the greens are at five and a half inches.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Green slash tee boxes.

[A]

Any other questions about. About being a homeowner?

[C]

No, that's about it. Just think about winterizing. I've never winterized anything.

[D]

Really? Yeah.

[A]

I don't know if you gotta do it in yours, but mine has, like, a thing where you switch the sump pump where it ends up going out.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

From either the little shoot to, like, the sewer or whatever.

[D]

Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. So some people run their sump pump into the sewer out, like out on the street. You're supposed to switch that and just have it run out, like your backyard or something.

[B]

And if you have a yard one and you have, like, one of those flexible tubes, you got to switch it to a hard PVC tube.

[C]

Gotcha.

[D]

Yes. Because that will freeze. It will back up.

[B]

Yeah. Because those flexible ones will crack.

[A]

Mine has, like, a little, like, lever thing. You seesaw up and down. I don't know what your guys look.

[B]

Like, but mine just pumps into the woods all the time now, so. Yeah, but my old rental, I had the. The flexible tube, some pump.

[D]

Yeah, me too.

[B]

And I had to switch it out for.

[A]

You got sprinklers?

[C]

No.

[A]

Okay. That's. That's one of the big ones.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Get it blown out. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

You want to get your back blown out, Your back, your backyard blown out.

[C]

I was doing. That's what she said, but that didn't quite work.

[D]

Get Your back blown out. Get your front blown out as well.

[C]

That's better. Patron questions? This is more of a comment. Mike B. Infinite money glitch. Buy a square reader, charge your credit card, use the money to pay off card bank up points.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

All right.

[A]

I'm all for a scheme, but I do need to slow it down.

[C]

What?

[A]

So it goes, what?

[C]

Buy a square reader?

[A]

Yep.

[C]

Charge your credit card, use the money to pay off card bank up points.

[A]

That is. I mean, that is a phenomenal way to become absolutely credit card mile rich.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And you guys know me. I love credit card points.

[B]

Also. Really great way to get some of that rid of that credit card debt, Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because eventually I could just.

[A]

You could get cash back.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And just. Yeah, I think it back in.

[A]

I think the problem is, is that your credit card fee that you're gonna have to pay is higher than what the points you would earn.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

The transaction fee.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

It's like one point something percent higher.

[A]

Than that in some spots.

[D]

I mean. Yeah.

[A]

Volume.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

As long as if you're doing a thousand transactions a day, there's got to be a sweet spot because it's usually like a. A set amount, like, like 30 cents plus a percentage. It's got to be like where. If you go like $1 ones, well, that's gonna be 30 of your dollar gone. If you get in charge $0.30 every single time, there has to be a point where the charge makes sense, that makes you the most.

[C]

What if you, like, started at LLC and you charge it to that llc, then you get the tax write off.

[B]

IRS is gonna give them a knock.

[A]

No, but then. No, but then you have to spend that. So then you're paying yourself. So then you'd have to pay taxes on paying yourself from that. Yeah, I. I really like the idea, but the linchpin of the whole thing is what. What is. Because if it's a two. If it's a. Even if it's a. I suppose, like, if it's a 1% transaction fee and you get 2% cash back, might be worth it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

A guy told me a story one time about like a credit credit card playing the credit card game, essentially.

[A]

Oh, God.

[D]

Y. And it's not who you think it is.

[A]

Oh, really?

[D]

So at one point, the. It was like the US treasury or something was selling silver coins, like 50 cent coins or whatever, dollar coins, and you could buy them from the treasury with a credit card. So he would. He opened up credit cards, and then if you hit like a certain limit in the first six months or whatever of you get money spent. Bonus, you get bonus. Right. So he would just buy that much in silver. Silver coins. He'd get the silver coins, which is money still. And then he would also get the bonus on top of the credit card.

[B]

And then when he just deposit the silver coins into his bank account.

[D]

Yep.

[C]

I like that.

[A]

This is. This is almost better than the square. Yeah, that's a great.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Can you still buy silver coins?

[D]

I don't know. I. I don't know if. I can't remember if he said they opened it up for like a certain amount of time or what it was.

[C]

But I like it.

[A]

That's sick. Modern day Danny Ocean.

[D]

Yeah. You could probably deal with like just gold and silver blocks, couldn't you?

[C]

Probably.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Those prices fluctuate.

[A]

They do.

[D]

But I mean the way gold's trending right now.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It's better than the S and P. Yeah.

[D]

Short term.

[C]

Molasses disaster survivor. Build your ideal dive bar menu. It can include fast food items from anywhere too.

[B]

I mean, I think I personally, I need a Cheesy Gordita Crunch on the dive bar menu.

[D]

I think we'll.

[A]

That would kind of hit different.

[D]

Yeah. Can we combo that with a Crunchwrap Supreme?

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

Whatever you want. How about you? You did Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Trying to remember what I would get. It's got to be that, right? It's got the soft shell around the.

[B]

Hard shell around the hard. There's cheese between the soft shell and hard shell. It's the best. And then when they.

[A]

I was maybe thinking chalupa. What's a chalupa?

[B]

Similar.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Cheesy Chalupa Crunch. No, it's not that.

[B]

When they did the cheesy Doritos Gordita Crunch? Out of this world. So good. I was.

[A]

Yeah. Talk just Taco Bell in general would be elite at. At a bar.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I was Taco Bell for a little bit.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean like if you leave the bar that your brain just hears that. You just hear that.

[C]

Yeah. That's what I always think. Like fast food companies should like buy the kitchen space and like have the kitchen.

[A]

Yeah. Like there's a. There's a bar in town that has a restaurant that just. That basically is kind of like a ghost kitchen where you can order it from. It's like a separate company within the bar that sells the food to the bar. But then you could also like order out from there.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Yeah. Be similar to that. Like a Taco Bell in a Bar.

[A]

Why is Taco Bell just not making bars?

[C]

Cantinas.

[B]

Yeah. I feel like that's a thing, isn't it?

[C]

Yeah, they do in Vegas.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Why don't we get margaritas and why.

[A]

Don'T we start doing that more places? I imagine that the kids these days would love to go get hammered at a Taco Bell.

[D]

Dude, for sure.

[B]

What about the adults these days? I'd do it.

[A]

Yeah. Imagine having Shotgirls walking around at Taco Bell.

[B]

A Baja Blast with some vodka in it.

[A]

Baja Blast. Chuck Norris.

[B]

Oh, my.

[C]

And then rim. Rim. The rim with Dorito dust.

[B]

A spicy margarita with Dorito dust. Rim.

[A]

Come on. Golly.

[C]

Or Domino's. It could be Domino Dan at the bar.

[B]

Dude, Domino's does combos with other restaurants all the time.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I. I like being Domino Dan by myself, though. You know, it's less shameful. What if they did it to plow a medium pepperoni pizza with garlic crust by yourself?

[D]

It's more of a. Like, an introverted activity.

[A]

It's. It's just. It's too shameful to do in front of a group of people.

[B]

So they need to make a Domino's liquor store combo so you can get your wine and your pizza at the same time.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know. What do you guys think about. Is it an insane move to have ice cream at a bar? Yeah, I don't think I've ever done it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Just, like, mixing a creamy treat with beer. Seems strange.

[B]

Unless it's, like, an alcoholic, like, milkshake.

[D]

Like a mudslide or something.

[B]

Yeah, Like a grasshopper. That's ice cream, isn't it?

[C]

Cream, probably.

[B]

You made ice? Yeah. Grasshoppers in the Margaritaville for us.

[D]

Yeah. That's a sweet, delicious treat.

[B]

No?

[A]

Yeah. I mean, like, most bar menus are pretty, like, solid. You know, I got burgers and fries and pizza and all that. I think the one thing you don't have is Taco Bell. It's pretty sweet.

[D]

Yeah. I'd like to swap in a Whopper Jr. For the. Just the classic, like, California burger.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Whopper June.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

That'd be good.

[B]

Honestly, the Burger Kings. One nugget per penny, or whatever that deal is. That'd be pretty good to have in a bar.

[D]

One nugget per penny.

[B]

Yeah. My birthday, like, in college, that Burger King had a special where the. Each nugget was a penny, and we went and bought, like, 200 nuggets with 2 bucks.

[C]

I remember that. Yeah.

[D]

Holy. Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I Don't imagine that's still around, considering there's no way that that was lucrative move for them.

[B]

I have a video.

[D]

They had to cap it. They had to cap the number somewhere.

[B]

200.

[A]

Oh, Jesus.

[C]

We kept it. Yep.

[B]

And then we tried to, like, can we do 200 per person? And there was like five of us in the car. They're like, absolutely not.

[D]

Thousands.

[A]

How long would you have been sitting there for them to heal?

[B]

I think they had them ready because we got our nuggets pretty damn fast. I have a video. Video of it.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

It was just drunk kids in the backyard, 200 nuggets, And they're like, oh, my God.

[D]

My college buddies would always. We'd always go to Taco Bell, and they had this game where it's like. It's like the different. It's like a spiral deal with, like, different levels. And you put a coin in at the top, and you have to, like, spin it, whatever. And if you. If you. If you got it to the bottom, you got a free taco. So they'd be. I mean, my college buddies, they'd be sitting there trying to win that free.

[B]

Taco with all that money that they could have just bought a free. Exactly.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

They're fine. Yeah. They bring like a. Like three, four rolls of change with, and they bring quarters of all things. Bring pennies.

[A]

Yeah, but it's. I think each coin is a different value, so like, a penny would just get you like.

[D]

Oh, is that okay? Yeah. Yeah. You're fuego.

[B]

Sauce packet.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

You steal those?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You got fun fact for us, Jared?

[C]

I did. I do. So Ryan asked about the Irish goodbye, so I dug up some knowledge about it. The exact origin is unclear, but emergent American English slang in the mid 20th century, with early printed uses appearing in the 1950s, 60s. Let's see. It's a. It's part of a broader pattern of ethnic goodbyes. Expressions that stereotype national behavior, such as the French exit, leaving without notice. More common in the uk. Dutch leave, leaving work early or awol. Polish goodbye.

[A]

Rare.

[C]

Sometimes meaning the opposite, lingering too long.

[B]

That checks out a lot.

[A]

Like the Midwest goodbye.

[B]

Yeah, a lot of polo in the Midwest.

[D]

That's true.

[A]

Yep. So it's. Yeah, it's. It's lost in translation, basically. Yeah, that's just what we like. It's like San Diego. People don't even know what it stands for.

[D]

Kids never will.

[A]

But it's believed to be a whale's vagina.

[B]

Okay. I. I noticed it means St. Diego. Right.

[A]

Correct. Yeah.

[C]

20.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, you just sounded exactly like Veronica Corning Stone there.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah. All right. Is that it, Jared? Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet yout Radio. Have a great week. We'll see you in the next one. Oh, yeah.

[C]

Betcha yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Terry, Aki, still plan on doing shiplap in the next two, three, four, five, six weeks. Gotta put some LVP flooring in in the next two, three, four, five weeks.

[B]

First.

[C]

Any new tips or tricks that I need to be aware of?

[A]

Well, first of all, that has got to feel so good to not have a concrete plan. You know, Like, a lot of people. A lot of people get stressed about not having a concrete plan. But for me, knowing that, like, you know, this winter, I should. I should put up the studs in my basement, start finishing it off, you know, that feels good to me. Like. Like, to me, that's a plan. But to be like, all right, on December 18th, I am going to start doing this. I'm, like, dreading that day.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But if I wake up on a Saturday and I'm like, I'm gonna go get some lumber.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Great feeling. So kudos to you for not having a concrete plan. That sounds awesome. And, Ryan, you're the shiplap guy, so I'll maybe defer to you on the ship lap. I've hung ship lap lap before.

[D]

Yeah, tng, you gotta. I mean, you gotta get the tng. I've. I've did shiplap with just using, like, the spacers. That's pain in the ass.

[A]

Gotta go tongue and groove.

[D]

Gotta go tng. On top of that, I. And I always measure, like, quarter inch longer than what I actually need. It depends on if you're putting it over hardwood or carpet. Now, I've put, like, when I did it at my old house, I already had trim on the bottom. It took the trim off, but it was in a carpeted room, so there's some play there. I always measure quarter inch longer. If I go cut twice, it's fine.

[A]

Yeah. Another, like, something to think about when you're doing it, too, is where the line's going, you know, because if you're doing lvp, right, you're doing planks.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Which way the planks go matter in the room. And also depends if you're going vertical ship lap, or horizontal ship lap. Completely different game.

[D]

Makes a big difference.

[A]

You gotta think about those things, you know, is the. Is the flooring going this way and then you go horizontal? Might be weird. Maybe you want the planks to go the same way as the ship laps. They're all going like that.

[D]

Yeah, you could do it. You could also do herringbone.

[A]

Could do herringbone and do herringbone. Might be a little. Little more than you bargained for, though.

[D]

Yeah. And we only got two, three, four, five, six weeks to do this, so.

[A]

So, yeah, there's a lot to think about. You know, you want. You want all your lines in the room to be leading to the thing that matters the most. So if it's a bedroom, you want it leading to the bed? Hell, yeah, Michelle.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Hell, yeah.

[C]

Now you're speaking my life.

[D]

Now we're talking, boys. You know, now we're talking.

[A]

That's probably just chat. GPT it. Like there's some science behind if. It's got to be that. If the ship lab's going vertical, probably makes the. The room feel tal and.

[C]

And.

[A]

And larger, where if they're going horizontal, it'll bring the ceiling down a little bit. Stuff like that.

[C]

It's like a fat guy with, like, a striped shirt.

[A]

Correct.

[C]

It looks skinnier with a vertical shirt.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. The stupid bumblebee ones that the Steelers wear.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

All those guys look so tall in those uniforms.

[D]

I agree. Yeah.

[A]

Those are vertical lines, right? Yeah. And then you look at the rugby shirts. Rugby guys are short stocking.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

They're taller than. Than, you know, but they just look short in their rugby shirts.

[C]

So use that.

[A]

So just think. You gotta think about the lines, and you gotta be getting some tng.

[D]

Gotta get tng. And if you're gonna paint the shiplap, too. I'd paint it before you put it up. I know it's a super simple idea, but. Yeah. Otherwise, you gotta get pretty standard.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You gotta get in the grooves.

[A]

Oh, yeah. You know, also try and go rustic feel in the room because then you don't got to fill the nail holes.

[D]

It's a good point. Yeah, it's.

[A]

Yeah, it's like, if you're like, oh, this is supposed to look rustic and vintage, then just blow holes in the whole thing.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

If you got some exposed ones, you're like, that's just character.

[D]

And then not.

[A]

Don't do what Ryan did either, because I've. I've done, like, I did this with the bench. Right. And this is what. Maybe this is the best way to describe where I run into most issues when I'm doing a project. Okay. I mentally have a I'm finished point, and I usually have that point be wrong. So mentally, I. I was like, once I've built this bench and it is there and it's not going anywhere, this project is finished. But mentally I should have been like, once this thing is stained and cocked.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Then the project's done.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

It's a two step process because.

[A]

Well, no, it's so like where Ryan did it, getting the ship lap on the wall. Ryan was like, I'm done with this project. When he should have said, once it's up and the trim is on, then this project is done.

[C]

That's where he messed up. Right, right.

[D]

I mean, I was moving out anyway. I. I did this. Like, I did this. Let's see. Yeah. I mean, I did this like a year or so before moving out. Two years before moving out.

[A]

It's just something to think about, you know, Like I did the same. I built those fake beams in our.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

In our kitchen. And thank God, mid project we decided we weren't gonna stain it.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

But I still was supposed to put a sealer on it. But mentally, once the beams were up, project was done. So I just had the clear coat just sitting there still. And that's, and that's like this, you know, once I. To me, the house wasn't finished once it was. Once the house numbers were up, the house was done when the house was done, you know, and that's why it just takes me so long to finish these projects. Because mentally I'm done with it. I moved on. I'm down to bigger and better things.

[D]

Well, I think.

[A]

And I need to reframe my mind is like once, you know, if I ever build a house again, the house is done until the house numbers are up.

[D]

Well, you'll be moving out eventually anyway.

[A]

Exactly.

[D]

Whether that's 10 years from now, you'll.

[C]

Be moving out or 30 year mortgage, you know.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 30 years I'm moving out.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Gone.

[D]

So it's like, I don't know.

[A]

So that's the final icing here, is make sure you set the right end point mentally for a project.

[C]

That's great advice.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

With Shiplap, do you like stagger each row or is it more uniform? You know what I mean?

[A]

Well, if, if, like the, if your wall's not very big and it's gonna go the whole span, you don't have to put any splices in it.

[D]

That's how mine was. Yeah.

[A]

But if the wood piece isn't long enough to go the whole thing, then you definitely should not have it all going splicing in the same spot to vary that up.

[D]

Yeah, gotcha.

[C]

I eat mannequins. Would you rather bear crawl 50 yards or do 50 up downs?

[D]

Oh, that's easy, dude. I'm bear crawling 50 yards for sure.

[A]

I was thinking the same.

[D]

We're talking probably burpees.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Up, down, same thing. Yeah, I'm bear crawling 50 yards for sure.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Like let's say it takes you, I don't know, a couple minutes to do 50 yard bear crawl. It's going to take, you have 10 to 15 minutes to do 50 burpees.

[B]

Because you're gonna stop.

[A]

I don't know. Remember, I don't know if you remember the last time you did a burpee, but burpees suck.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

It'S big in the mud running community. We used to do them a lot, me and the me in the community.

[C]

Because with bear crawls you're more so your arms are tired. You're not like cardio tired.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Compared. It's just a. You're just using muscles you don't usually use.

[D]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[A]

Let's see people, people love saying that like if you like do a whole day of painting a room or your house or something, you wake up the next day and you're like, God, I'm sore. I must have been using muscles that I didn't. Don't normally use.

[C]

And your neck's just crank like.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

It's like you go for a walk one day, you're like, my legs are kind of sore. Yeah. Using muscles. It's like, well, I'm just using my legs. I'm just walking like I normally would.

[C]

Rewalk it backwards.

[B]

Yeah.
