Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Midwest Winter Grievances & Truck Talk

• Cold Weather Woes: The group bemoans Fargo's biting winter—cold enough that Ryan’s truck tire pressure drops after an hour outside ([00:11]–[02:02]).
  • Quote: “It’s so cold... my five-year-old walked outside and it’s nine degrees, and he’s like, ‘Oh, it’s not so bad out.’” —Tyler ([04:15])
• Garage Insulation & R-Value: The boys try (and fail) to recall what "R-value" means, tossing around half-remembered homeownership lingo in typical Midwest fashion.
• Midwest Car Culture: Extensive chat about remote car starters (“Astro Start”), letting cars idle, winter-specific vehicle routines, and modern app frustrations.
  • “It’s like the most 32-year-old guy thing to say. You’re still calling it Astro Start even though every vehicle just comes with it.” —Ryan ([09:24])
• Face ID & Tech Talk: They riff on biometric phone logins, including how Face ID adapts to post-weight loss faces and their collective malaise about resetting lost passwords.

2. Conspiracies & Culture

• Medical Tech Cynicism: The group facetiously discusses future phone features, like phones testing your blood for insulin, then launches into a lighthearted “big pharma” conspiracy debate about the cure for cancer ([18:00]–[20:32]).
  • “There’s gotta be one person willing to martyr themselves to announce that there’s a cure.” —Tyler ([19:51])

3. Main Event: Things That Should Be Taxed 100%

A rolling brainstorm where each host takes turns proposing “annoying” or “overdone” cultural phenomena that, in their opinion, deserve an egregious tax penalty.

Notable Items & Arguments

• Podcast Equipment:
  • Riffing on the fact that anyone can buy a mic and become a podcaster, even if they know nothing ([21:00])
• Lip Filler:
  • Extended, tongue-in-cheek debate about how it never seems to look good (“Are we ever like, ‘You know what would make her a 10? Lip filler!’?” —Ryan, [22:53])
  • Eventually, they concede maybe the “bad” jobs just stand out more.
• Jeep Rubber Ducks:
  • “100% tax so Jeep owners can just chill the fuck out.” —Tyler ([26:38])
  • Both annoyed and bemused by the trend, especially when kids’ bath toys are, as they point out, scientifically proven to be gross.
• Elf on the Shelf:
  • They rail against the “Elf on the Shelf Olympics” among parents, especially those who post elaborate elf setups online.
  • Tyler: “I have a problem with people posting about it. Then it’s not for the kid anymore. It’s for you to show off how good a parent you are.” ([31:36])
• OKC Thunder Jerseys:
  • “It feels like they’re trying to make us like the Thunder. Like, they’re just masking the fact that they already had an awesome team in Seattle...” —Ryan ([34:11])
• Loud, Clicky Keyboards:
  • Lighthearted office rant—Jared hates the noise, Tyler champions "creamy" keyboards, and Miles hates the word "creamy."
  • Jared: "I don't like anything of them." ([39:07])
• Yard Inflatables (Holiday Décor):
  • Strong opinions: “There's no like, cool way to do an inflatable. Prove me wrong, but I have yet to see a good inflatable.” —Ryan ([41:00])
  • Inflatables supposedly “undo” the effort good Christmas lights bring.
• Truck Tires & Exhaust Pipes:
  • Tyler’s creative take: Tax rates should go up as tire/exhaust size increases. “If you want to be really, really loud... you gotta pay for it.” ([45:52])
• MLM Buy-Ins:
  • Myles proposes a 1000% tax on Multi-Level Marketing buy-ins to discourage predatory hustle culture ([48:22]).
• Tax Evasion on Social Media:
  • They marvel at how many people online brag about not paying taxes.
  • “Am I the doofus for paying my taxes? I feel like I’m being gaslit into not paying taxes.” —Ryan ([49:46])
• Plutonium:
  • Jared (deadpan): “Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys.” Later, “Plutonium... should be taxed 100%. We don’t need more nukes.” ([57:54])
• Other quick mentions: Stamps (“buy low, send high”), truck nuts, “creamy keyboard covers,” and even more jabs at overdone pop culture accessories.

4. “Imessage Roulette” Game (Starts [59:04])

Jared hosts a game where hosts must search their messages for the last time they texted a list of colorful words (e.g., “boob,” “penis,” “fire,” “tits,” “grill,” “filter”). As expected, answers are wildly funny, sometimes embarrassingly revealing, and lead to more stories about Midwest dad life, BBQs, and the office.

Favorite Moments & Quotes:

• “The last time I said ‘boob’... I said, ‘I actually now only sign boobs.’” —Ryan ([63:21])
• “I texted my wife, ‘Penises are weird.’ She said, ‘True.’ And I said, ‘lol, good talk.’” —Ryan ([68:41])
• Tyler: “I just unprompted texted my buddy. ‘What’s up, sweet tits?’” ([72:24])
• Miles: “They got tits and grits there?” (regarding strip club brunches) ([72:02])

5. HOA/Neighborhood Bit (Starts ~[83:13])

The group closes with an improv skit inventing a You Betcha neighborhood HOA:

• Jared is “elected” HOA president and makes up Midwest HOA rules, including moving trash day and debating the merits of contracting snow removal.
• “The best way to remove snow is to have somebody on staff do it.” —Jared ([87:14])
• The bit is a tongue-in-cheek play on local politics, bureaucracy, and typical neighborhood arguments.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Buy high, sell low. That’s what we do.” —Ryan ([22:13])
• “I have a problem with Elf on the Shelf. Not the elf, but people posting about it. Then it’s not for the kid anymore.” —Tyler ([31:36])
• “You guys don’t ever cream your keyboard?” —Ryan (deadpan, as the phrase "creamy keyboard" takes on a life of its own, [39:35])
• “There’s got to be a tipping point – if everyone just stops paying taxes, they can’t make everyone pay taxes.” —Ryan ([50:52])
• “Loud trucks are so circumstance based, and it just sucks that about 95% of the time, it’s just not the time for a loud truck.” —Ryan ([46:15])
• “No, it would have been a big sweaty guy. Boobs are boobs.” —Ryan (on who actually asks for autographs) ([63:34])

Tone & Style

• Warm, Teasing, Midwest Dads: Benign ball-busting and relentless self-deprecation.
• Wide-Open Tangents: Conversations spin joyously off-topic, celebrating everyday life.
• Affectionate Satire: From HOA boards to winter gripes, nothing’s immune from a jab.
• Relatably Lazy: Mundane adulting pains (“haven’t changed my password,” “hate air filters,” “don’t want to shovel”) become comedic centerpiece.
• Language: Real and unfiltered, but always with a wink and towards shared experience.

Takeaways for Non-Listeners

If you missed the episode:

• Expect a hilarious, highly relatable rant session about Midwest winters, over-the-top car modifications, suburban trends, and various life “annoyances.”
• The “Should Be Taxed 100%” segment is the centerpiece, offering satire on modern life—from the rise of influencer culture, cosmetic procedures, and holiday yard décor, to the questionable value of loud trucks and novelty ducks.
• The group’s chemistry and their ability to turn any daily pain into a running joke (or a faux HOA rule) is on full display.
• The mix of improv games, listener participation, and pop culture gags (plus extended inside jokes on tech, sports, and office life) round out the Midwest flavor.

In short: A quintessential You Betcha episode, pairing regional humor with universally funny observations about how weird adulthood and suburban living have become.

Transcript

[Ryan]

Welcome back to another episode of the you betcha radio podcast. The boys are back in town. Boys are here. Ready to rock and roll. How you guys feeling?

[Tyler]

Good.

[Jared]

Really good.

[Ryan]

I tell you what, you know, it's cold here in Fargo. When my truck was outside this weekend for an hour and my tire pressure got low.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

In one hour.

[Miles]

Yeah. He came out and thought kids in the. In the neighborhood were slashing tires.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

What's going on?

[Ryan]

I thought I was maybe getting pranked where someone just slowly leaks the air out of my tire. Not enough to where it's like, oh, I have a flat, but just enough to be annoying. And if someone did that to me, it sucks. I have. I have now found a new prank, a new innocent prank. Just make someone's tire pressure gauge go alert, go off. But not enough to where it's like a real problem.

[Tyler]

You let it out so it's not dangerous, but you. You should fill it.

[Ryan]

But now the whole. All the way on the way to work today, I'm just watching the gauges when I should be watching the road. And then. And then one. One tire bumps up as the tires kind of warm up. Expand. I was like, all right, here we go. It's frustrating.

[Miles]

Nothing better, though. When you have the low tire pressure light on and you're about to like hit the interstate or something. You're like, these bad boys are going to start heating up quick and that sucker's going to go off. So we're sitting at a good spot.

[Ryan]

That's kind of what. Yeah. I need to maybe just do a LA lap on the interstate.

[Miles]

Yeah. Just hit. Hit the interstate hit. And just get up to 80 and warm those puppies up.

[Jared]

Squeal the tires in the driveway.

[Ryan]

I think.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Put on four wheel drive on some ice and just.

[Tyler]

Just rip it.

[Ryan]

But what I don't get. And maybe you guys can explain this to me. Maybe I'm just a. But I'm outside for an hour. Obviously, you know, air shrinks or whatever the it is.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I then park inside overnight, and obviously the levels raised a little bit, but it's still. The back two tires still have the alarm go off.

[Tyler]

I don't know about.

[Ryan]

You think if it was in warm weather, if it was a cold versus warm air issue, that an overnight in 50 degrees garage would fix your problem. Would fix that problem. But you got.

[Miles]

You got floor heat in the garage. That could be it.

[Ryan]

There is no r. Chilly Willy down. There is no. There is no R value in concrete. So.

[Miles]

Sure.

[Ryan]

Which if you guys don't know what our value is. I can't believe you don't.

[Tyler]

We don't.

[Ryan]

This is so embarrassing for you guys.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Our value is the, like. What'd you say? Our value.

[Tyler]

Stupid.

[Ryan]

What would be really funny is if this isn't even right. Yeah.

[Miles]

I don't know. So you could say anything and I'll believe you.

[Ryan]

I believe it's like how much. What's the level of insulation within a substance?

[Tyler]

Is it heat retention level? Our level?

[Ryan]

I don't know. Could be. I don't know.

[Tyler]

Did you say.

[Ryan]

Yes, but like, like the, like the. That's why like insulation foam has a certain. There's, there's higher R values with it. Then it's like how insulated is the insulation? How much heat is let through it. Sure.

[Miles]

It's like, it's like air filters. Because they said I. I gotta look this up because I have it. Okay. So air filters have a MERV rating on them and like depending on like how thick they are and like how much stuff they'll let through is. Is that's what the MERV rating does.

[Ryan]

Correct. So similar but yes.

[Miles]

Not our value.

[Tyler]

Same but different.

[Miles]

Same, same.

[Ryan]

Concrete has no R value. That's why you have to have a heated floor because it doesn't insulate the ground at all.

[Tyler]

Probably a really high MERV rating though. Nothing's getting through.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, I would probably. I would tend to agree with that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

There's nothing yet.

[Ryan]

Virtually no air is getting through concrete.

[Miles]

No. The only thing getting through concrete is a jackhammer.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Tyler]

And Kyle's fist after a couple monsters in a four loco.

[Ryan]

That's right, baby. Class of Kyle. So yeah, I don't know how we got there, but here we are. That's kind of my complaint of the week is the air. It was cold air taking the air out of my tires.

[Tyler]

It's so cold. This weekend, this morning when I left for. For work, my five year old walked outside and it's nine degrees.

[Ryan]

Oh, it's not so bad out.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Nine degrees is like, wow, it's hot.

[Tyler]

Col. Yeah.

[Miles]

I just went outside 10 minutes ago. It's really nice out.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's 13 degrees today.

[Ryan]

Shorts weather at this point?

[Miles]

Pretty much. No. Definitely no. Cult weather.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And was like, hey, do you think we can take our kid outside today? Like, well, it's negative eight. So what do you think?

[Miles]

Yeah, well, let's check the win first.

[Ryan]

Think that's a smart parenting move.

[Jared]

It'll be fine.

[Ryan]

So yeah, I mean he's got to get acclimated at some point. You know, isn't it that like in Norway or Sweden or Finland or something.

[Tyler]

Like that, snow naps or whatever, they.

[Ryan]

Just let their kids take naps in the baby carriage when they go in for to eat lunch.

[Jared]

I was on just how it just.

[Ryan]

And I. I get it that it's like a culture thing. How is that even?

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Miles]

That's a good question.

[Ryan]

And it's. I'm not saying that I think that that's bad for the baby. I don't think. I think it's what they say, that it's good for the baby. I believe in that. But just the concept of just leaving your baby outside is just crazy.

[Tyler]

You know what happens? Some guy accidentally stumbled into it. Some shitty drunk dad left his kid outside. He's like, that's good for him.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that next dad. Okay, that's what we call a snowball situation.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's where that phrase comes from.

[Ryan]

So yeah, it is very cold out, but I think we're about to get a heat wave. It's be like 30.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's all gonna. We're gonna get rain on Wednesday. No, the fuck out of here.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I was. Yeah, it was so cold that it just like wasn't even possible that it could snow here. And we're only in December.

[Tyler]

Can be a long winter, boys.

[Miles]

I think between from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, I think I just. Astro started my vehicle and just let it run out probably four or five times.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So at least twice a day I was. I would just as started and I don't know, whatever the 15 minute timer before it shuts off, I would just let it shut off. I didn't. I like barely drove my truck at all.

[Ryan]

It's a question. You said it would just let it shut off. Do you normally shut it off manually?

[Miles]

Nope.

[Tyler]

He's usually in it before he's going anywhere.

[Ryan]

Got it. So you're saying you more so mean you just didn't go even drive it anywhere?

[Miles]

Correct. Yeah, I just as started it in the driveway while I was going to be home for the next, you know, three hours and I just let that sucker shut off.

[Ryan]

No, that's a smart move.

[Miles]

Let that baby rev up.

[Ryan]

Really smart move.

[Tyler]

So I left my Chevy Lumina running all night one night in high school. Really I was at a buddy's house and his mom's like, better go start your car for a little bit or it won't start in the morning. And I just forgot it.

[Ryan]

Oh no, dude, My wife does that every other week. Really?

[Miles]

In the garage?

[Ryan]

No, not in the garage, but they'll be times because I won't notice it either because, you know, like, like if she's driving, I'm in the passenger seat. We like going to a store, we'll come back out of the store, the car will just still be running. She's in it. And I'd be like, ann, did you not shut off the car? She's like, I guess not.

[Miles]

I, I, I did, I do that at times. I did actually do that at Target this morning. But I bring my keys with me. But again, if my truck doesn't move for like 15 minutes but it's running like after I drove into a parking lot, it will shut off. So you must have a really nice truck.

[Tyler]

I, I'm gonna stick up for Ann a little bit. Like I've almost done that with Traverse because of the whole engine shuts off when you stop thing. So like it's really quiet. It sounds like it's off.

[Miles]

But the auto stop.

[Tyler]

Yeah, whatever it is. I don't know.

[Ryan]

When you put it in park, it usually turns back on.

[Tyler]

Does it?

[Ryan]

But anyways, I don't know.

[Miles]

I shut it off every time, leaving.

[Tyler]

It in drive too. Keys in car on in drive.

[Ryan]

Just pulls the E brake. God, that was a little fun.

[Miles]

She's, she just got like a 4x4 block in the back. She just like props. It.

[Tyler]

Should go through all that instead of just putting it in part.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Or she just like parks on a curb and then the curve just stops her.

[Tyler]

That's the move.

[Ryan]

Probably what's happening. My poor wife just catching on the chin for no reason right now. Hey, be nice.

[Tyler]

You started it.

[Jared]

You Astro started it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we'll let it run for 15 minutes. It'll be done.

[Miles]

Yeah, that's it.

[Ryan]

Does this still make that noise?

[Miles]

No, my, mine's completely silent.

[Ryan]

But that, that's like, you know exactly what I'm talking about when I do that noise. Right.

[Miles]

The old school Astro Start is like, it's like the Internet dial up sound.

[Tyler]

I kind of miss it.

[Miles]

I mean too.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's confirmation because I always have to be like, oh yeah, see exhaust.

[Tyler]

Coming out the back. Yeah.

[Miles]

I always got to listen for my 6:2 to start up.

[Jared]

Ryan loves naturally bringing up that he has Astro Start.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he does.

[Miles]

No, no, no, no. Because everyone has as.

[Ryan]

It's like the most 32 year old guy thing to say. You're still calling it Astro Start even though every vehicle just comes with it.

[Miles]

Now, what is it?

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's just the most Midwest thing I've ever heard.

[Miles]

It's like calling a. Calling any sort of Kleenex. A Kleenex.

[Ryan]

No, I understand why it's called Astro Start. I just haven't heard anyone call it Astro Start.

[Miles]

What do you guys call it?

[Tyler]

Just start your car.

[Miles]

Oh, okay. Just start your car without being in it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, what a kick to the nuts for Astro Start when they just started putting them in the vehicles.

[Miles]

I know. Hopefully they had some sort of patent or something.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I bet you they did.

[Ryan]

Yeah, maybe they. Maybe.

[Jared]

But.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I just remember because I had a little screen on it, and then you could see the, like, the fan moving. That meant that the engine was running pretty badass.

[Miles]

Yeah, I remember right when I got my truck, they gave me, like. I don't know, what is it a month free of, like, my Chevy link or something happened. I could. I. I could start that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was awesome.

[Miles]

And then that ran out. I'm like, yeah, I came for that again.

[Tyler]

I just. I. I just started in the winter.

[Ryan]

With Ford, you just get it for free.

[Miles]

They bake that into the price. I wish Chevy would do that. I wish Chevy would do that. Be nice.

[Tyler]

I would just cancel it in the summer. Didn't need it in the summer.

[Miles]

No, exactly. And I never just. I just never.

[Ryan]

Okay, but sometimes you do. If it's really hot out, get the AC going. Come on.

[Tyler]

Leave them windows cracked.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but you could have AC seats going by the time you get in there.

[Tyler]

I don't have those.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the app. Great. This is where I'm at in life. I got logged out of the app, and I just haven't gone through the work of, like, getting a new password to get into it.

[Tyler]

It's like four clicks to recover your password.

[Ryan]

I know. I just.

[Tyler]

That even.

[Ryan]

It just hasn't been on my priority list.

[Tyler]

It's not even clicks. It's taps of your thumb.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

I just. I just know that I have to reset my password, and I just don't want to do it. And right now I just, like. I'm okay with just, like, doing the window deal, you know, making sure it starts, but.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah, that's fine then. Yeah, resetting your password is the most tedious experience.

[Miles]

It's.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's like, why. You know, they're starting to do it more now, but, like, I just. I just want to log in with my face.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

I just want to log in.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I just want to log in with Everything with face id I've allowed face.

[Tyler]

ID and the fingerprint on the computer on everything I possibly can correct.

[Miles]

I got a couple apps I've set. I've set face ID up 15 times and every time I go back to login it just doesn't recognize every face id. Like what?

[Tyler]

Because you look like everybody. Everybody. Mark Andre, you look like Matt LaFleur. Kyle Shanahan a little bit. Adam Sandler.

[Ryan]

Ryan, don't listen to them.

[Miles]

I'm not.

[Ryan]

I think you look like you.

[Miles]

I, I'm. I am 1of1.

[Tyler]

We could flip it. All those guys look like you. You don't look like them.

[Jared]

They probably have trouble too with their faces.

[Tyler]

I'm one of them. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Ryan Sheely guys, really? My face, My face id. You ever your face id?

[Miles]

Yeah, sometimes I try and see like how little of my face I can show and still get it.

[Ryan]

I can't confirm though. You know, they bragged about that. If you're, you're. Your face changes over time. It will slowly adjust it. I never had to redo face ID once. I got a way less fat face and like if there was anyone whose face looks like a different human being from when I was fat to when I was not this guy.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So yeah, shout out to the. Just slow adjustments over time by face id.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Otherwise my, my face id I would have eventually had to just redo it.

[Miles]

I will say though, when you get a new iPhone and you have to like if you're, if you do have to set face ID up again, it's kind of fun the first time.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

But now I don't. I think it just transfers now.

[Miles]

It probably does.

[Ryan]

It probably does because I just got a new phone. I didn't have to do it. Yeah, you do this one. Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

Or the fingerprint too. The fingerprint where you kind of like roll it around.

[Ryan]

You got it like between your legs. All right guys, time to do some prize picks. Price picks right now will give you fifty dollars in lineups. When you play your first five dollar lineup, win or lose, you're getting fifty bucks in lineups. You just got to use promo promi code. Promo code YBR when you sign up today. And right now there's a max discount to start your holidays. Anthony Joshua, which. Who is that? Ryan.

[Miles]

He's fighting Jake Paul.

[Ryan]

Needs just one punch to land to cash the projection. His projection in his Friday night boxing match against Jake Paul. So you gotta go get the, get the max discount square for, for this week's lineup which we have on our lineup this week. We would have really crushed it last week if it weren't for some doofus pick. Josh Allen.

[Tyler]

Yeah, what a doofus.

[Ryan]

What a doofus. Anyways, Jared, what do you got this week?

[Jared]

Tatario McMillan. More than 58 and a half receiving yards.

[Ryan]

Say that 10 times fast.

[Jared]

Tatario McMillan. Tatario McMillan. Tatario McMillan. Tatario Mcmillan. Tatario McMillan, tatario McMillan. TATARIO McMILLAN. Tatario McMillan. TATAARIO McMILLAN. TATARIO McMillan.

[Ryan]

That was really good.

[Tyler]

He rose to the occasion there.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Tyler]

I would have hammered the lesson. Correct.

[Ryan]

For a guy who can't read Patreon questions to be able to do that in a moment of that kind of pressure. That was really good, Jared.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm impressed.

[Jared]

I feel dizzy, though.

[Tyler]

Speaking of pressure, blood pressure. I'm going with Philip Rivers.

[Ryan]

No, he's on meds. Yeah, yeah, he's on meds. He's got it under control. Cholesterol is a little high.

[Tyler]

Yep. Philip Joe Biden profile picture.

[Ryan]

Rivers. Can't believe that they did that.

[Tyler]

147 and a half. More. More. Old man Rivers.

[Miles]

It's a bring us home. It's a Monday night game too, so if we're hammering the whole lineup and then that comes up, I. I hate it, too.

[Jared]

Passes. Bedtime.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he'll be Monday night. Yeah, you don't want to pick Phil Rivers at night.

[Miles]

Showtime.

[Ryan]

Rivers sleepy. Rivers sleepy.

[Miles]

Phil.

[Ryan]

I hate it, but I went with it as basically you. You guild tripped me into that. I don't even know if I believe in the pick that I did. I just did it because I was. You guys are waiting on me.

[Tyler]

You're the last one. We were.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna be honest. And he was just there. So if this one is a hit, don't come knocking on my door.

[Jared]

If we said that you'd be ricking.

[Ryan]

Us over the conviction. No, dude, I. I don't even know if I believe in this one unless it hits, and I totally believe it. This one's 231 and a half pass yards. Mr. Sam Darnold. Or more than.

[Tyler]

I dig it. I like Sam.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, he's on. He's been doing well lately. And last time he played the Rams, he had more. More than that. So 279.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

So I think in the featured lock of the week is my pick. Jacoby Brisset. More than 239 and a half.

[Ryan]

That's.

[Miles]

That's featured lock of the week. It's not official prize picks feature lock of the week, but it's mine.

[Tyler]

It's my second favorite pick after Old man Rivers in this lineup.

[Ryan]

Ryan Locker the week.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah. Featured Ryan Lochte of the week.

[Ryan]

Lock it up. Let's see it.

[Miles]

It's locked.

[Ryan]

No, I mean, no, I mean, like.

[Jared]

Oh.

[Ryan]

Hey, what kind of lock is that? It's a crazy locking mechanism.

[Miles]

I just. Remote control.

[Tyler]

Hey, one thing on prospects you can do now is bet futures. I just won money on the Vikings getting over five and a half wins. So shout out to me.

[Ryan]

Good job, Tyler.

[Tyler]

Thanks.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, guys, play some prize picks this week with us. Use code ybr sign up today. Touch ID was cool. I kind of liked it.

[Miles]

It was. Yeah, I. I enjoyed it.

[Ryan]

I mean, face ID is much slicker, you know.

[Jared]

Next. Must be like saliva or something.

[Ryan]

Next.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you know.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Blood. Prick.

[Miles]

Yeah. You know what's coming next?

[Ryan]

Yeah, you just. You put your hand on your phone and there's just a little needle that pops out and it takes your blood and gets you into the phone. Yeah, forget about that. I really got to turn that off.

[Miles]

Could detect early onset of diabetes too.

[Tyler]

It could be. How long until your phone can just test for your. Do your insulin levels for you question.

[Miles]

Just load the phone up.

[Ryan]

Two to three years probably.

[Tyler]

Somebody's got that.

[Ryan]

This is always classic too. Well, they can. It's just not financially a good move for them to do it yet. We can do that.

[Miles]

It's ready.

[Ryan]

It's right. It's ready. They just haven't had a reason to be able to roll something like that out.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's like the cure for cancer. Like, it's ready. They just, you know.

[Ryan]

Yeah, just some guy paid off by Big Pharma so they could keep selling chemo drugs.

[Jared]

Yeah, the whole thing.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yep, exactly.

[Ryan]

I. Yeah, I kind of used to believe that a little bit, but now I'm starting to feel that we don't have the cure for cancer. Yeah, I kind of bought into the idea that, like, hey, we probably figured it out, but big pharma paid a bunch of money to make it go away.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You're saying you agree with that? Yeah, I'm kind of. I'm kind of now 50. 50.

[Jared]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

I feel like with how easy it is to leak stuff now, I feel like we'd know.

[Tyler]

That's. I 100 agree that there's be too many people with good consciences involved in a project to cure it that wouldn't leak it.

[Ryan]

There's gotta be. This is all it takes is one person With a conscience.

[Miles]

What could it be? Any ace could be life or death.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but are you really going to be worried, right, if you have the cure to cancer and you're like, well, I signed an NDA, so I guess I'll just let all these people die.

[Tyler]

And even if, like, crazy, even if big pharma is going to put a hit on you, like, there's going to be one person willing to martyr themselves to announce that there's a cure.

[Ryan]

There's got to be one.

[Tyler]

Yeah. So that's why I think there's no cure, because there's one good person that would have leaked it by now.

[Jared]

I was like, how many billionaires have cancer? How many times they'll get cured from a billionaire?

[Tyler]

Right.

[Jared]

That's kind of my head's at.

[Ryan]

Wait, say it again.

[Jared]

How many billionaires have cancer and how many times has it been cured? So if it's like 100 success rate, then there probably is a cure for cancer.

[Tyler]

Boom.

[Ryan]

And billionaires are dying from cancer left and right. Yeah, well, you flip, Jared.

[Jared]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

I might just flip flop real quick.

[Miles]

Am I just, like on a. I'm on my own island.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. Hey, so. So I'm starting this new cult. Yen, I guess. No, at the first meeting, we'll have.

[Tyler]

Cookies and Kool Aid.

[Ryan]

Kool Aid, Yeah. All right, I'm in.

[Jared]

I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so.

[Tyler]

Yeah, time and place.

[Ryan]

Well, Jared, what do we got to start?

[Jared]

Things that should be taxed 100%.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah, I like this segment. What do you guys think? What are things that you guys think should be taxed at 100 tax rate? Number one for me, podcast equipment. Guys like us shouldn't be able to just buy podcast equipment online for an affordable price and be able to start a podcast and talk about the cure for cancer. We just shouldn't be able to do this and just.

[Miles]

And then, like, speculate merv ratings and.

[Ryan]

RV and just say things with 100% confidence that are 100% factually incorrect.

[Miles]

But then we'll go home and bitch about misinformation online.

[Jared]

It's a cycle.

[Tyler]

We're too far gone, though. We're in. My sister started a podcast and even from when we started this, the. The price of quality podcast equipment has been slashed. It is so much cheaper than it.

[Miles]

Was when we flat screen TVs.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Ryan]

So. Yeah, we totally are. Yeah, we bought at the wrong time.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we got in when things were at the tippy top of prices.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's how you know we're good with finances. Buy high and sell low. That's what we do.

[Jared]

That's what they told us.

[Ryan]

I think another thing that should be taxed 100% of what it costs right now is lip filler.

[Miles]

Oh, dude.

[Ryan]

Lip filler should be taxed 400,000%.

[Tyler]

You just bug you more.

[Ryan]

No, I just, I just think about the idea of. Has there ever been a scenario where a gal has gotten lip filler and everyone been like, she is so much better looking now?

[Miles]

I totally agree.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

When have we ever said like, you know, that girl is beautiful? You know, take her from like a nine to a ten. Lip filler. Yeah. When have we ever done that?

[Jared]

I hate bird lips. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, I just hate natural looking lips.

[Tyler]

Those are just the worst cover up inner tuber lips. Yes.

[Miles]

My favorite fish. Let's give her I like my women like I like my fish. Let's give her the, like a carp.

[Ryan]

Let's give her the bee sting. Bee sting treatment, you know? No Benadryl either. Let's give her, let's give her the Alex Hitchens look on the movie Hitch. Remember that when he gets stung by being his whole face?

[Miles]

Yeah. Hallucinating.

[Ryan]

I mean, what are we doing? It's just, why is no one talking about that like we should, you know, we're talking about banning THC products in this world. Why are we not banning lip filler products? And it's like, I, I don't care if the lip filler brigade comes after me for this. Something that I, I believe wholeheartedly in.

[Tyler]

Hey, the thing is, you wouldn't. You've just never seen good lip filler.

[Miles]

And they shouldn't come after you though, because you're essentially telling them that they're beautiful without lip filler.

[Ryan]

That's what I'm saying, dude. Like, what are we doing? You look great. Don't need the lip filler.

[Jared]

Move on.

[Ryan]

I'm not talking Botox. Okay, talking lip filler.

[Tyler]

What is, is lip filler like? I don't know, what do they put in there?

[Ryan]

I don't know if they're the same or not. But why? When someone has Botox, they look fine, but then when they get lip filler, they look like insane person.

[Jared]

What. What is lip filler made of?

[Ryan]

Yeah, let's see.

[Jared]

Search.

[Ryan]

It is made of synthetic hylo. What is that?

[Miles]

Hyaluronic.

[Jared]

Hyaluronic, yeah. Acid.

[Tyler]

That sounds healthy.

[Miles]

A gel, like, substance that mimics a natural sugar found in your body, helping to add Volume and hydration.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I just, just think, you know, I, I, you know, I maybe went a little far with banning it.

[Tyler]

Taxing.

[Ryan]

You're not just, let's just tax it up the yin yang. Like, if you really want it, you really gotta sacrifice for it.

[Tyler]

Well, and if you're gonna spend that much money on it, you're gonna make sure it's good lip filler.

[Ryan]

It's true. And maybe I just haven't had a good lip filler.

[Tyler]

Actually, it might be a decent point. You only notice the bad ones.

[Ryan]

That's maybe true. That might be true. All right. I would like to amend my writer statement that we should tax lip fill bad lip filler at 100% rate.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's like the people who say, you know, when you reach a certain age, you should have to retake your driving test. Like when you, when you want to, when you want to prescribe lip fillings to people. You should have to take extensive tests.

[Ryan]

For that to make sure you're mentally stable enough to make the right decisions.

[Tyler]

That's what I was going to ask. What are the tests testing for?

[Miles]

Well, I'm saying more on like the doctor side of things to make sure you're like in elite. The elite of the elite lip fillers.

[Tyler]

Okay, gotcha.

[Miles]

So that every.

[Ryan]

Testing people, you're testing the lip filler.

[Miles]

Yeah, testing the lip filler. Testing the surgery or the, whatever they call.

[Ryan]

Ryan. Ryan. We don't know anything about how lip filler works.

[Miles]

We don't. That's why.

[Ryan]

So I, I see that you're fumbling because you're like, I don't know the process.

[Miles]

I'm trying to get to the end point. I know what the end point is. I just don't know how.

[Tyler]

What they do is they take hyaluronic acid. It's like a. Mimics synthetic. Yeah, it mimics sugars that are found naturally in your body and they put that in your lips.

[Ryan]

So you just.

[Miles]

Yeah, but if you.

[Ryan]

Look, just doesn't matter. Just doesn't matter.

[Miles]

Yeah, I know, I know.

[Ryan]

It doesn't matter. We just need to tax it guys.

[Miles]

Who takes them?

[Ryan]

We just, we just tax it.

[Tyler]

I think that we should give 100 tax hike to rubber ducks so Jeep owners can just chill the out.

[Ryan]

That's a good one.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's just like. It doesn't impact my life at all. But I just don't like seeing them.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but what about all the kids that want a rubber duck?

[Tyler]

Tough kids. Find something else.

[Ryan]

You're saying you're so you're saying the kids.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I guess.

[Ryan]

Them kids.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

When you can say that because you have kids.

[Tyler]

I do, yeah. Yeah. I don't give a if they have another rubber duck in their life.

[Ryan]

That is true. We do have a rubber ducky in the bath. He ain't playing with that. He's playing with all the other stuff.

[Miles]

Filled with mold on the inside.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Because there's water sitting in there.

[Ryan]

Children's bath toys are disgusting.

[Tyler]

Terribly disgusting.

[Miles]

It's worse than. It's like a bowling alley come combined with an Airport times 100.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Because, like, just think about. Also, it's not just like dirty bath water. Like, they're just pissing.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, sure. Have you ever taken, like, one of those toys that it sucks up the water and you can squirt?

[Ryan]

No. Ducks intentionally avoided it because I know it's disgusting.

[Tyler]

Like, brown flakes come out of that. It's so nasty.

[Ryan]

So actually, maybe that's good if. Let's ban. I actually. Let's tax them. The kids don't need them.

[Tyler]

Kids don't need them. And Jeep owners are pretentious with them.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Jeep owners have it up.

[Ryan]

Definitely the rubber ducky. I don't know what this says about me, but the rubber ducky that Jeep owners have, it just irks me for no reason.

[Tyler]

I don't.

[Ryan]

And I don't know if it's because I'm jealous that I don't have a cool thing that I do with other people. I don't know, you know, or what that says about me, but it's just something about the ducks on the. On the Jeeps that, yeah, definitely just rub me the wrong way.

[Tyler]

I'm so fully on board.

[Ryan]

Just rubber me the wrong way.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

What were you saying?

[Tyler]

No, I'm with you. That's exactly why I think we should hike up their taxes. There's a gas station that I go to for lunch pretty regularly, and one of the gals that works there drives a Jeep and she has 400 ducks.

[Miles]

That's the younger guy. It's a younger guy.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You know exactly who it is.

[Ryan]

At what point, though, do we need to call them in and be like, this is. This is impedement on their driving.

[Miles]

Distract.

[Ryan]

Seriously distracted driving.

[Tyler]

Yeah, there's nothing ducking around.

[Ryan]

Imagine getting in a car accident with someone like that. Just. You just hear the loudest duck squeak ever instead of a crash.

[Miles]

Oh, well, I like, I don't think even think the, like, the investigators of the crash would have enough of them. Little like those red triangles to put on each rubber evidence markers. Markers. Rubber duckies in the ditch.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they got.

[Miles]

You have to call them back up.

[Ryan]

On their digital camera. Taking pictures of evidence. They just run out of space on the card. All right, it looks like we got a crime scene. Let's go. Oh, also, it was a Jeep, so bring a couple extra memory cards.

[Tyler]

Everywhere.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. A couple rolls of Polaroids. Some that I think should be taxed 100%. Are elves that go on the shelf.

[Ryan]

I'm not there yet.

[Miles]

And I.

[Tyler]

Do you do it. Are you an Elf on the Shelf family either?

[Miles]

No, I.

[Ryan]

So, okay, before we get into a question about Elf on the shelf.

[Tyler]

Mm.

[Ryan]

I understand. You can choose to do Elf on the shelf with your kid or not. Does it become an issue when they get of age where they go to school and other kids are talking about Elf on the Shelf and your kid is like, what the are you guys talking about? I feel left out. Is that a thing?

[Tyler]

That doesn't bother me any.

[Ryan]

No, but I mean. But is like. Is that a thing? Like, why is that how Elf in the Shelf got so big? Is one family started doing it, made one kid jealous or feel bad. So then their parents like, we should probably do it too. And then it just snowballs.

[Miles]

Dude.

[Tyler]

I honestly think the snowball Elf on the Shelf became because some moms with too much time on their hands started posting their Elf on the Shelf posts.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And then the moms felt left out, not the kids.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah. It's about the moms.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I have a mom on Snapchat.

[Ryan]

You have a mom on Snapchat?

[Jared]

Nice.

[Miles]

A Snapchat friend. I have a mom is also a mom. She posted her Elf on the Shelf for that day at 2:30 in the morning.

[Jared]

Night owl.

[Tyler]

Yes. When he's moving around.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What do you mean?

[Miles]

Who's staying up?

[Ryan]

She got up to get a glass of water in the middle of night and saw what the elf was doing.

[Jared]

The.

[Miles]

I think the reason I don't like it is because, you know, I don't really know why I don't like it.

[Ryan]

It's kind of like the duck. The ducks. Yeah. It's kind of like what does that say about you, Ryan, that you have to yuck someone's yum?

[Tyler]

Ryan, I'm also with you on this.

[Miles]

Okay. I think it's. I think it's because I portray people who do Elf on the Shelf as them thinking that they're better than other parents.

[Tyler]

So. No, here's. I'm. I Don't have a problem with Elf on the Shelf. I have a problem with people posting about it. Okay. Because then it's not for the kid anymore.

[Ryan]

That's true. She could have done the 2:30am Elf on the Shelf and not posted it on Snapchat.

[Miles]

Correct.

[Tyler]

It's not for the kid at that point. It's for you to show off how good of a parent you correct.

[Ryan]

Boom.

[Miles]

Correct.

[Ryan]

Yeah, there you go. I'm. I'm flipped. I'm. I'm cool with Elf on the Shelf as long as you're not taxing people's faces.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Hand the ball to the ref.

[Miles]

Can we look up real quick? What percentage of people do Elf on the Shelf? What percentage of parents do Elf on the shelf?

[Ryan]

There's no way that there's an accurate Gemini. Well, there's no way. There's been. There's no way. There's been a study on this. Not a chance.

[Miles]

But 1/3 or 36% of parents with young children under 10, how do they get that Elf on the shelf, according to 2020 YouGov poll.

[Ryan]

That was. That was five years ago.

[Miles]

That was 2020.

[Tyler]

Skyrocketed.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

The COVID Boom of Elf on the Shelf.

[Ryan]

That's what they said. Yeah. The infamous Elf on the Shelf boom.

[Miles]

The first. The. The first Reddit link. Parents that do. Don't do Elf on the Shelf. How do you explain to your kids why you don't. That's kind of interesting that that was the question that you had. We don't have to read it, but.

[Ryan]

It'S just maybe that was me that posted on.

[Miles]

It could have been. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I post a lot on Reddit. The stuff I. That might have been me two weeks ago. That might have been me two weeks ago.

[Miles]

No, we do. So we do like a. We do an Advent calendar. So it's. What is it, the 25. Is there 25 slots?

[Tyler]

Yeah, you start there is.

[Miles]

Is it the 25?

[Ryan]

I thought you said you do the Advent. Well, we.

[Miles]

Is it. My wife and I, like, I. I partake in the activities that come with the Advent calendar longer.

[Ryan]

Is it a 5x5 calendar?

[Miles]

I think it's 25.

[Tyler]

It starts December 1st. And you open the last one on Christmas.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And again, I didn't want to spread misinformation. That's why I didn't.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So what day is Christmas on again this year?

[Tyler]

Fourth Thursday.

[Miles]

So.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And that. That's, like. I don't know that. I don't think we've put. I I haven't posted about. Anyways, I'll have to ask my wife, because if she has off to ever take that down, we don't need to be out here pretending that we're just like these elite parents that are better than everyone else doing their ST for our kids.

[Tyler]

All right?

[Ryan]

So let's tax self on the shelf.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm in. Hik it up.

[Ryan]

What about you, Jared? What do you think we should be taxing?

[Jared]

Thunder. Oklahoma City Thunder jerseys from the last two years.

[Ryan]

There is something weird about Oklahoma Thunder jersey that just RS me in the wrong way, too. It's kind of like rubber duckies and elf on that people post about Elf on the shelf.

[Jared]

I don't like the colors. I don't like the logo. And obviously there's bandwagon.

[Ryan]

It feels like they're trying to make us like the Thunder. It's like they're masking the fact that they already had an awesome team in the Seattle supersonics and then they moved them to Oklahoma City and they're trying to jam it down our throat.

[Tyler]

Okay, that's a good point. As a not basketball guy, I think their jerseys are cool, but the Sonics jerseys were cooler.

[Miles]

Sonic's jerseys were fire.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah. Historic.

[Ryan]

So, yeah. Yeah, basically, like, you want to ban Band Wagoners.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Well, like, any at this point, to anyone around our area, say, North Dakota is like. Like, oh, dude, I've been a Thunder fan since Chad Holmgren got drafted. He's like. He's from Minnesota, from the city. He's like three and a half hours away. That's why I like them so much.

[Jared]

It's always the justification.

[Ryan]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I got an uncle's cousin's kid who one time went to a game and brought me back a towel.

[Jared]

So kind of my team now.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know, SGA is Canadian, and we're right on the border. Like, it only takes us, like, two and a half hours to get to the border.

[Jared]

It's my boy.

[Ryan]

He's like, yeah.

[Tyler]

How many people, how many Chiefs fans are now rooting for the Patriots?

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

End of the dynasty. Back to where they started.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Good thing they dust off the Edelman jerseys.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, everyone knew a guy that was a huge Duke fan back in the day. How you were that guy?

[Miles]

Yeah, well, I. I would say I still am. If I had a college basketball team, I still would be, to this point, 15 years later.

[Ryan]

All right, mute Ryan's mic for a sec. You gotta mute. When was the last time you guys Heard Ryan talk about Duke.

[Tyler]

I don't think ever heard him talk.

[Ryan]

About college basketball for at least seven years. I don't think I've ever heard him talk about Duke once.

[Jared]

I think in the sports cards he's had maybe one mention of it.

[Ryan]

I bring him back. Bring them back.

[Miles]

Cooper flag. I mean, that's doesn't see. I was a fan back in the J.J. redick, John Shire days. Yeah, yeah, early, early.

[Ryan]

I didn't feel any better. I was a big UNC fan back then. Sean May was the other one.

[Miles]

Tyler Hansboro.

[Ryan]

No, that was before Tyler Hansboro. Sean May won the national championship on his birthday. I remember that.

[Miles]

That's good.

[Tyler]

I pretended to be a UNC fan because all my college friends were Duke fans. So it's just. That guy.

[Ryan]

Not wild that there was a period of time where you were either a Duke fan or a UNC fan. It's so weir.

[Miles]

Like Khan canople his grant. Like his grandpa, you know, he's. He's probably. He's probably like half a mile down at the lake from us.

[Ryan]

Right?

[Miles]

God in law. So that's, you know, also naturally, I.

[Ryan]

Mean, you had no choice.

[Miles]

If I show up with a Hornets jersey on Monday, you guys know what the deal is.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I've always been a Hornet lamelo. I've been down with the Hornets since day one.

[Jared]

Day one is.

[Ryan]

What else you got, Jared? I know you got some back there.

[Jared]

Loud, clicky keyboards I hate.

[Tyler]

Oh, God. You sit right next to Jake.

[Ryan]

What's hilarious is I feel like Jake loves them.

[Tyler]

Oh, he does. He clacks on it like a receptionist in a 90s movie.

[Miles]

Have you got. Have you guys also noticed how.

[Ryan]

How much chewing bubble gum?

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

How much?

[Ryan]

Well, let's see, let's see. I think I can get you in it.

[Tyler]

And then like he like smacks at.

[Miles]

It while they're eating ribs for lunch.

[Ryan]

Let's see. Okay, I can get you in at 4:30 on the 14th.

[Tyler]

You just use command K here and if you press Q, it's a ripple. Deletes your timeline to the left.

[Ryan]

See?

[Miles]

Okay, I have a theory. You guys ever notice how much Jake screws up when he types?

[Ryan]

It's so he clicks.

[Miles]

So he can just start like start deleting, then redo it again because he just wants to continue typing.

[Ryan]

Think that guy has. He has the most errors per sentence or per word I've ever seen anyone.

[Tyler]

He like transcribes while we, we do script writing stuff. And the amount of write a sentence, delete half the sentence, right? He's like, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, hold on, hold on.

[Ryan]

So frustrating.

[Jared]

Just goes too fast.

[Ryan]

We're better off just having AI transcribe it for sure and going back and fixing that than having Jake type it out because there's less errors.

[Tyler]

Maybe Jake's an AI guy.

[Jared]

Imagine Dick as a. Was a stenographer like at a courtroom.

[Tyler]

Yeah, hold on, your honor. Hold on, hold on. Defend it. Can't.

[Ryan]

Hold on, hold on. Did he.

[Tyler]

Did he say guilty or not guilty? I missed that.

[Ryan]

There's a whole section of the Internet where it's like, it's like clicky and clacky keyboards versus creamy keyboards.

[Tyler]

I'm a creamy keyboard guy.

[Ryan]

Creamy is like. It's just a muted clacking sound. You're in, you're in on that.

[Tyler]

I'm a creamy keyboard guy.

[Jared]

I don't like anything of them.

[Tyler]

Jared hates keyboards.

[Ryan]

You don't like clacky or.

[Jared]

I don't like any. I like. I like like a Apple standard one. I like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's what, that's what I have. Isn't that creamy?

[Miles]

I hate the word creamy, by the way.

[Ryan]

Creamy is like if you put a keyboard, you put like a cover almost over the key. Like cuz there's still the thick keys but then there's like a silicone over top of it. It's very creamy.

[Tyler]

I'm not doing that. I'm with Jared on just like the silent regular keyboard.

[Ryan]

You guys don't ever cream your keyboard?

[Miles]

No, no, it's company keyboard. Yeah, I have to hand that in when I retire one day. Yeah, we. We buy high, we sell low. I mean you didn't state that, so.

[Tyler]

Sell as low as possible.

[Jared]

That could replace face ID just creaming your keyboard.

[Tyler]

Good.

[Miles]

It could a lot of DNA.

[Tyler]

T shirt guy. MacBook Pro cannot accept your airdrop for it is jam.

[Miles]

Airdrop has been up lately. I don't know why. And of course I'm not going to take the time to fix it. I'll just email myself whatever I need to. Yeah, we might have to get one of them Black Friday deal on creamy keyboard covers.

[Ryan]

People need to start creaming their keyboards so Jerry doesn't have to listen to your clacking so much. He'd much rather listen to your cream.

[Jared]

It's much more quiet.

[Ryan]

Well, people. Yeah. Is it?

[Miles]

People need to start taking a gun to their, to their keyboards. Some silicone cream the keyboard.

[Ryan]

I think another thing that needs to be tacked a hundred percent Is yard inflatables.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, that's a great one for holidays.

[Miles]

Yeah, I mean, I guess, you know.

[Ryan]

I. I'm not trying. What'd you say?

[Miles]

I guess I don't know who's doing them outside.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't.

[Miles]

Dumb question. Not really.

[Ryan]

It's just a big inflatable. It just. It just like, has like the address on it with an arrow pointing to your house. Is that what you're thinking, like an.

[Miles]

Inflatable garage or something?

[Tyler]

The UPS guy, you would no longer be his favorite to do with the inflatable house numbers is number one now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, that's true. That is true. But. And like, I'm all for holiday spirit. Like, I like Christmas lights. I even think some, like, light up candy canes in the front yard and, you know, hey, get after it in that yard. But as soon as you're putting a, you know, 15 foot high inflatable in your front yard, it's like, all right, I don't know if we need to be doing that. And it just. I don't know, it just looks. There's no. There's no, like, cool way to do an inflatable. I. I can be proved wrong if someone could show me a photo where you're like, wow, that inflatable really just makes the house look good. It makes you. It just is cool. Yeah, that rocks. I can be convinced, but I have yet to see. I guess I maybe just haven't seen a good inflatable.

[Tyler]

I know. I'm. I'm with you. My. The thing about Christmas lights for me is that if you do a really cool Christmas lights thing, it's like, wow, look at the effort they put into that. You look at a giant inflatable Santa that's leaning on wooden leg because the wind blew it over. It's like, wow, look at the effort they didn't put in.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Miles]

See, I think. I think inflatables ruin really good Christmas lights.

[Tyler]

Totally.

[Ryan]

I think it's also signaling to the world that you're like, oh, look at me, I'm goofy. I'm a. I'm a. I'm a silly goose. You know? And it's like, if you're a silly goose, you shouldn't have to project the world that you're a silly goose. Just be a silly goose. And I actually had a very good, good feeling the other day. Like, really good in my bones. Last year there was a neighbor. It wasn't like one of my closer names. Like, as you're driving in the neighborhood, There was a neighbor that had a giant blow up snowman inflatable in the front yard. And then, you know, a week later came. It was all deflated and tipped over because we live in the windiest neighborhood in the world. It's just, it's not going to. It doesn't matter what staking you do to this thing. It's going to fly. Whatever.

[Jared]

Whatever.

[Ryan]

Eventually, just eventually was gone. It was like, all right, clearly he gave up this year. All I could, I drove, came around the corner and all I could see peeking over the fence was the top of the snowman's eyes. Like, Mr. Wilson.

[Miles]

Sure, home improvement.

[Ryan]

And I was just like, that's what you get for trying to be inflatable guy. You have to stick it behind a fence where no one can see it.

[Miles]

Yeah, he had a time.

[Ryan]

Made me feel so good. Yeah, sure, he's a great guy, but let's just. Hey, if you got to put it behind a fence, maybe let's, let's just try the, the lights this year.

[Jared]

He's a silly goose.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're right.

[Miles]

Well, yeah. And he wanted, it was a play on the home improvement thing to show that he's even more of a silly goose that, hey, look at the home improvement. Yeah.

[Ryan]

He knows it's. It's got way too much real estate in my head. And now we're even going past inflatables. We're going just into like, like I, I just got in my neighborhood wood. I don't know if they sell them at Costco. I think I brought this up before, maybe I didn't. But he's got like, he had like a 15 foot high skeleton in his front yard.

[Miles]

Oh, I've seen those.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it wind blew it over. So then he just. Then he like put a. When he put it back up, he like put a bandage on the skeleton.

[Tyler]

What a silly goose.

[Ryan]

And then it fell over again. And so then he just like, he basically just only had half of it up and the rest was laying in the yard. Like he fell apart. This whole, it turned this whole thing and again. Yeah, I'm way too invested and like I know the whole story and I know like the origin story of the skeleton. You know, he grew up in Maine, believe it or not, and he ended up here because he married someone. You know, I don't know why I know. I saw.

[Miles]

Now he could have just taken the legs off and staked it down to make it look like the skeleton was like crawling out of the ground.

[Jared]

That have been funny.

[Miles]

It's just like. It's like less wind resistant or more wind resistant.

[Tyler]

Our value way up.

[Miles]

Correct. Yeah.

[Ryan]

No Merv.

[Tyler]

Both.

[Miles]

That'd be a merv.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So yeah, I think we should be taxing yard inflatables at a hundred percent rate.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I have a kind of a unique one. I think that truck tires and exhaust pipes should be taxed on a percentage based on size.

[Ryan]

So if you got a little weenie truck, little.

[Tyler]

Little tiny tires, small tax rate.

[Jared]

Right.

[Tyler]

Big giant tires with a huge exhaust pipe, your taxes keep going up.

[Jared]

I like that.

[Miles]

Sc it's scale based.

[Tyler]

Yep. Scale based. Taxes on exhaust pipes and truck tires.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I can get on board with that.

[Tyler]

Because if you want to be loud, really, really loud, it's got paid for it. Yeah. You have every right.

[Ryan]

Just if you're gonna wake up the whole neighborhood.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Got paid for it. You still do it.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Go for it, man. Just a little tax money in her jar.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Loud trucks, in my opinion are just so circumstance based and it just sucks that about 95 of the time it's just not the time to have a loud drum.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Well, there's that 5% time. You're like, hey, that was pretty kind of badass. Yeah, I love that.

[Miles]

And you always have to look.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You're never not gonna look to where the loud truck's coming.

[Tyler]

We're gonna be throwing up.

[Ryan]

I don't have the self control to. To hear a loud truck and not look at it.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

It's just like a helicopter.

[Ryan]

And I know that that's what they want, but I can't do it.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I will be throwing out some. Some taxes breaks on some monster trucks.

[Jared]

Oh, for sure.

[Tyler]

Yeah, they get. They get tax breaks. Any sort of racing truck gets a tax break on how loud they are. Any first responder vehicle. They're good. So tax breaks will be sent out.

[Miles]

Yeah. I don't think.

[Ryan]

Isn't it enough of a penalty though, Tyler, that they already have a small penis? Now you're going to tax them on top of that? I thought the tax for loud truck loud jacked up big tired trucks with truck nuts. The tax was that they have a small penis. Is that not enough for you?

[Tyler]

So, hey, well, I'm not taxing there something they can't control. They can control the truck.

[Ryan]

They're already being taxed enough.

[Tyler]

Hey.

[Miles]

They can't control them.

[Tyler]

I know this from experience. There's plenty of guys with small wieners that don't have jacked up trucks.

[Miles]

I do have a 2 inch lift kit that came standard though.

[Ryan]

Rear a. Rear 2 inch lift kit for a more sporty look.

[Miles]

Correct.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's a lot.

[Miles]

That was, that came stock so.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean I, I know where you're coming from.

[Miles]

I think they need to do like just like a personal evalu. Like someone needs to do a personal evaluation with the person and then they could determine if they should be taxed or not.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Because I think it's more of on the person than it is the truck.

[Tyler]

It's like banks giving out like a personal loan. Like they need to know the reason why. They want to know they're getting their investment back.

[Miles]

They need to call maybe a couple friends, maybe like a high school teacher.

[Jared]

The references.

[Tyler]

References.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

It's. This whole segment's really about increasing the barrier of entry. If we could increase the barrier of entry to most things, I think the world's a better place for sure.

[Miles]

Speaking of barrier to entry, that was my next one. I. What I think should be taxed a thousand percent is the barrier of entry into any MLM because it seems like, I mean for $20 you can get 200 in product and you could become your own entrepreneur. Entrepreneur. Your own business owner.

[Tyler]

Oh, you can if you want to that much.

[Miles]

You were 20. Closer to financial freedom and freedom of everything else.

[Ryan]

One though is that they will have to pay 52% tax rate when they eventually become millionaires.

[Miles]

That is very true. They'll be the highest tax bracket.

[Ryan]

But then they'll.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So I mean they are paying taxes. Maybe not as much as you want them to.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

But also I feel like of any industry other than like real estate, I feel like people aren't paying taxes. Are MLMs. You guys seen the, the movement online of people just openly talking about it? I haven't paid taxes in like eight years. There's like a whole, like there's so many people that are, that have come forward saying they just haven't been paying taxes.

[Tyler]

How do we get in on this?

[Ryan]

What do you mean get in on. On tax evasion?

[Tyler]

How do we get in on non consequential tax evasion?

[Miles]

Now's the time to do it. Because there's a, there's a different three, there's a, there's a three letter acronym right now that's just taking precedence over every other three letter acronym. The IRS is at the bottom right now.

[Ryan]

They ain't watching for but like yeah, it's like. And then like you see that and you're like oh, comment section should be Lighting this person up. You go in comment section, like, I haven't either. You're like, so am I. Like. And then I saw someone post being basically like. So I see a bunch of people not pay their taxes. Like, am I the doofus for paying my taxes? I feel like I'm being gaslit into not paying taxes.

[Miles]

Like, did I get got?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Am I? It's like you discover you're the only one that's not in on a joke.

[Jared]

It.

[Tyler]

It's like, like from where the Millers, like, you guys are getting paid.

[Jared]

How.

[Ryan]

It's starting to feel.

[Miles]

Interesting now.

[Ryan]

I am going to continue to pay taxes.

[Tyler]

Me too.

[Ryan]

But I, I, yeah, I was, I was shocked. I couldn't believe that people just, just like, yeah, I haven't done it in eight years and I wouldn't go back.

[Tyler]

You know, it's like, well, you're gonna.

[Ryan]

But again, if everyone doesn't pay taxes, they can't arrest everyone. You know?

[Tyler]

That's true.

[Ryan]

It's kind of like, oh, maybe there's like, what is it kind of like when you're talking about like Kovid stuff like herd immunity, where if enough people get Covid, then like the whole thing becomes immune and like, it doesn't spread anymore. Yeah, it's like, what's the herd immunity equivalent? There's got to be like a tipping point where if, if everyone just stops paying taxes, they can't make everyone pay taxes.

[Tyler]

I mean, if you think about it, it is pretty patriotic of them. Like we went to war over taxation of tea.

[Ryan]

So yeah, I think it was more so that they just wanted to be their own country.

[Tyler]

No, they hacked the tea up and that was too much.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think that was the symbol for, with their movement.

[Tyler]

Anyway, that was the whole thing.

[Miles]

Stamps too. Those are spending these.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And so I don't know why I think they're talking Christmas cards. She said like stamps like 80 cents or something.

[Miles]

It's like, well like I think it was 74, 75 cents. Like month or two.

[Ryan]

I can't even afford to send out a Christmas card anymore, let alone pay taxes.

[Jared]

You're getting an email.

[Ryan]

I. I totally bullied and into doing a Christmas card this year.

[Miles]

Really?

[Ryan]

Well one, we did a photo shoot this summer. You know, it was like kids first birthday, like photo shoot. And I just assumed that that was gonna be our Christmas card. Start getting Christmas cards cards. And so I'm like, oh, are we doing like a crisp card? Are we doing a New Year's card this year? And she's Like, I wasn't gonna do anything. And I was like, oh, yeah. No, I was like, oh, that's cool. Yeah. I mean, I just figured, like, we have, like, photos to use this year. This is, like, kind of our year to do it. Yeah.

[Miles]

One done type deal.

[Ryan]

And then I, like, came to the office and had to do something here. And I came back. She's like, I ordered your Christma. And I don't know why I felt like, I think we should do a Christmas card. It's not like I'm like, wow, I just totally believe in Christmas cards either. It just. Just happened.

[Tyler]

That's very on you.

[Ryan]

So. So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Caught me at weird time.

[Tyler]

You probably got Ryan's Christmas card and keeping up with the Jones.

[Ryan]

I got Ryan's Christmas card in April.

[Tyler]

You did get him out pretty early.

[Miles]

Well, it's because we had Ryan.

[Ryan]

It was the most. It was the most R and Meg thing ever to get a Christmas card in April. Just the most prepared people in the world.

[Miles]

New address. So you got to get them up before everyone else sends Christmas card. You got to be the first one out. Otherwise, you're like, our mail forwarding is almost up because it's almost been a year. So I get those suckers out asap, April.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you did.

[Miles]

Yeah. And I remember, like, we sat in the living room. It was like 10pm When I. And like, I was.

[Ryan]

So are you guys right now prepping the Christmas card for 20, 27 7?

[Miles]

No, but usually it's. It's on like, the. The New Year's resolution is usually like, we gotta get. Come up with Christmas card concept by February.

[Ryan]

Said we gotta get Christmas over so that we can get Ryan and Meg's Christmas card for next year.

[Miles]

Yeah, we gotta get.

[Ryan]

It's kind of like pitchers and catchers reporting for baseball. Let's just get the season done so pitchers and catchers can report winter's over. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Pretty soon we'll just be like, a year ahead.

[Ryan]

Like, World Series, done. Game seven, done. Next day, pitchers, catcher's report. It's kind of how they do their Christmas card.

[Miles]

Yeah, I like to keep people on their toes.

[Jared]

That's good.

[Miles]

You know, also just wish people, you know, wish them a. Not really a Merry Christmas. Just wish them a good time.

[Tyler]

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Miles]

All right. Yeah, like, Happy St. Patty's Day. Whatever. Whatever time we're in, whenever we get them sent out. We also, if you can hit the, you know, stamps, they just increase. So you buy low. Send your Christmas cards out.

[Tyler]

When you buy low, send high.

[Miles]

Buy low, send high.

[Ryan]

That's actually a really good advice when it comes to stamps.

[Miles]

Yes, it is. And then we actually send. We actually asked for the envelopes back so we can reuse the stamps. They haven't been, they haven't been stamping them lately. They haven't been putting their USPS stamp on them so we can reuse them. I got a deal, worker deal with the postmaster.

[Ryan]

Got inside info the cut stamps out of the budget, so now you can just reuse stamps. Stamps, yeah, he like the ink stamps.

[Miles]

The ink stamps? Yes. Yeah, he talked me into buying some Hank Aaron stamps the other day. They must have just been over like, just inventory's so high on Hank Aaron stamps right now. So I, I bought the Hank Aaron stamps.

[Ryan]

For yourself? For the company.

[Miles]

Well, we got them for the company like a year ago, but they still have inventory of them. So I now have Hank Aaron stamps at my house.

[Ryan]

Do they, do they.

[Miles]

That was like a special like, you know, six month thing or whatever. It's like two years ago. Inventory is way up.

[Tyler]

Nothing screams Christmas like Hank Aaron.

[Miles]

Correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

So I mean, I guess, I guess Horace, North Dakota isn't exactly the most like, hot market for Hank Aaron stamp.

[Miles]

No, no, like Mickey.

[Ryan]

So I kind of get it, I guess.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

Roger Maris stamps, on the other hand.

[Tyler]

Hot, bad make way more sense.

[Miles]

I, I know, I know, but it's against federal thing. They don't. Yeah, they don't care. They don't care. Just move some stamps.

[Ryan]

They got, they got, they got millions of tons of cheese in a cave somewhere. They don't give a about Han stamps. No, no.

[Miles]

Just worried about where they're gonna get their next patty mail from if the world starts ending.

[Ryan]

What?

[Jared]

Somebody's on.

[Miles]

You have cheese for patty milk.

[Tyler]

You do.

[Miles]

Politicians are going to be down in their bunker.

[Tyler]

Without cheese is just, without the cheese is just a patty.

[Miles]

It's just a patty sandwich. I've never seen one of those on a menu.

[Ryan]

So I've also never seen any restaurant being like, yeah, our sandwich is made with government cheese.

[Miles]

Government. They could mark it up. And if that's the case, I wouldn't pay taxes on that sandwich. I'd give them whatever it says on the menu. I might start doing that. Just revolt against taxes, Just see the sticker price and then just hand them that in cash and cash and change and then just walk out. Oh, we're good, we're good. I'm good.

[Jared]

We gouda.

[Ryan]

He starts Doing that in Minnesota. Buying, like, clothes. He thinks he's getting them. Guy raked him over the coals and they just accepted the cash with no tax added to it.

[Miles]

Yeah. Kept looking behind me. No cops, nothing.

[Ryan]

Gotta leave it. And that's a. It's a funny joke. If only if you live in Minnesota.

[Miles]

Yeah, there's no. There's no sales tax on clothing.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Thank you, Ryan.

[Miles]

Well, for those not from Minnesota.

[Ryan]

Anyone else got any other ones?

[Jared]

Plutonium. I mean, plutonium is like. What is a chemical that makes nuclear bombs?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Then I'm. I'm on board with that, I guess.

[Miles]

Is there even a tax on that right now?

[Jared]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

I was gonna.

[Tyler]

I.

[Ryan]

Do you even have to pay for that? I feel like people have access to plutonium, they just get it, you know?

[Jared]

I don't know.

[Miles]

They gotta have a guy.

[Ryan]

I don't think there's like, a huge, like, plutonium company out there that's just raking. There's the government over.

[Tyler]

There's plutonium mines.

[Ryan]

No, I know, but isn't it just government owned? So they don't even have to tax it.

[Tyler]

I don't know if you.

[Jared]

If you buy it, it should be a tax. Hundred percent. Yeah.

[Ryan]

At least we don't need people. We don't. We don't. We don't need more nukes in this world.

[Miles]

Two turn plutonium.

[Jared]

Yeah. So plutonium 100.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

I like that. Anything else?

[Jared]

That's all I got.

[Ryan]

I'm really glad you saved that one for last. It's super relatable. One to end it.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I. I can tell you that I won't be buying plutonium anytime soon.

[Miles]

Especially if it's tax on.

[Tyler]

Sorry. There's no plutonium mines. There's uranium mines. I got my es messed up, so.

[Jared]

Tomato, tomato. They both make nukes.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

All right. Well, should we take a break? Jared has a fun game for us today. Yeah, what is the game, Jared?

[Jared]

It's called Imessage.

[Tyler]

Imessage Roulette.

[Ryan]

Wow, that's really good.

[Tyler]

It's good.

[Miles]

Took him a week to come up.

[Ryan]

With that working title, Imessage.

[Tyler]

I think that's taken.

[Ryan]

You should have done, like, my message or something like that. It's anything.

[Miles]

Usually I start with live message.

[Jared]

Yeah, usually. Usually I start with the name and then go from there, but this is the opposite.

[Ryan]

This is the opposite. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, it works. It's just like I message. Is that better? I message.

[Jared]

Well, yeah, we'll workshop it.

[Miles]

So running out of Time workshop it because we're starting the game, it sounds like.

[Jared]

So I'm going to tell you eight words and for each word you're going to go through your imessages and see when was last time you said that in a conversation?

[Ryan]

Okay, so I need my phone and.

[Tyler]

My message when I said it or the last time it was. It's been said in a text message. It could be to me or is it you saying it? Okay.

[Jared]

Yep. Okay, so the first word is.

[Ryan]

The last time. The last time that I said was at 9:28am this morning. It just says.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's my first result too. You said that in a group chat. I'm in this count.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Okay. Last time I said was Ryan sent a picture of Phillips Rivers headshot in the prize picks app and it was Joe Biden and I said no way.

[Ryan]

Y and it turns out that that was real.

[Tyler]

I thought you were mess.

[Ryan]

I was like, God, I shouldn't go look in the app because he's messing with me. And sure as Philip Rivers, Joe Biden.

[Tyler]

And the prize picks out wild move by them. It's hilarious.

[Ryan]

So funny.

[Miles]

Yeah, I mean would have been a wild move by me too to go in there and like, like shop.

[Tyler]

So what I thought happened is I thought you might have got duped by a tweet.

[Miles]

Oh, God, no, no. I was cooking on Sunday morning. You guys know that the last time that I said the F word.

[Ryan]

Good show. Yeah, yeah, I'm smart. Clean it up.

[Miles]

Actually, a week ago, December 8th to Tyler. Interstate is really slippery just ahead. Heads up.

[Ryan]

Hey, that's looking out.

[Tyler]

Good looking out, man.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, it was too.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it was.

[Ryan]

It was a well placed F word too. Yeah, no, it's like it really was slippery.

[Miles]

It's not just slippery. It's really, really slippery. And he then he knew it was real.

[Ryan]

So Jared, what about you?

[Jared]

Yeah, I text my brother Monday, December 1st. It I'm hyped for Sunday. I think McCarthy is going to play. Well, that was after the loss. No, I was right though.

[Tyler]

You were. That was before the commander's game, wasn't it? Yeah. He played great.

[Miles]

Nine.

[Jared]

All right.

[Tyler]

McCarthy didn't do nine. Was out there.

[Miles]

He's gonna get his old lineman just nines for Christmas.

[Ryan]

You know, Jared, I always felt in my bones because you're a pretty even keel guy, but I feel like you have those moments. Moments where like you just did. And I'm glad that I got to see.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I felt it actually with Jared's brother. He's A whole different guy. I feel like that's the true Jared. Jared. Unshelled.

[Jared]

Unshelled. The next word is boob.

[Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Tyler]

Pam Anderson. Boobies.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This one is all right. Okay, you guys ready? So I did a meet and greet in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and one of my buddies who lives in. In the Sioux Falls area texted me a screenshot of the event, and it says, can I come be a crazy topless fan and get an autograph since you're in my town? And I said, I actually know now only sign boobs, so.

[Miles]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Hell, yeah.

[Tyler]

That's great.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I thought he's gonna be like, yeah, lady asked me to sign her boobs at this event.

[Miles]

Yeah. So I did.

[Ryan]

No, it would have been a big, sweaty guy.

[Tyler]

Hey, boobs are boobs.

[Ryan]

You close your eyes, they all feel the same. If you get the right guy, they all feel the same.

[Miles]

That's right.

[Tyler]

Mine was from May 16 at 8pm says, yep, he's passed the out. I think the bottle makes him sleepier than the boob.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Baby talk.

[Ryan]

Yes. I hope. I hope so.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yes.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I hope you're not talking about your buddy.

[Tyler]

Nope.

[Miles]

Or your dog. Speaking of dogs, the last time I said boob, November 11, 2025. Backstory to this, when my kid was really little, we just started talking. My dog's name is Birdie, and he. And he would call our dog Booby. So now we just started calling our dog booby. So November 11, I said, I'm gonna run home and get Booby.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, I'm sure that was about your dog.

[Ryan]

Mine's lame. From October 24, just to a buddy, you want to do a fire tonight?

[Miles]

Mine's very similar. October 30th, asking my buddy who was out deer hunting. They got fire pits out there.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I was talking to a buddy about AI, and he made a very good point. Point. And I said, this was on November 10th of this year. I said, wow, that's a fire line from an ri and then in parentheses, real intelligence.

[Miles]

Nice.

[Ryan]

Inside relationship.

[Jared]

Next word is LMAO. The acronym.

[Tyler]

Oh, it's gonna be like 2015 for me.

[Ryan]

Dude, I have never texted.

[Miles]

I. I don't.

[Tyler]

I don't think I have either.

[Miles]

I don't have one.

[Tyler]

Me either. Look at this shit.

[Miles]

Yeah, mine's just all girl.

[Jared]

Oh.

[Ryan]

I texted an on January 24th of 2019 and just said LMAO. Dead. With a dead emoji.

[Miles]

I feel like mine would have been to an too. Joking around about who knows what. I had nothing.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I've literally never sent it either.

[Miles]

Just all. It's all gray.

[Tyler]

Same, huh?

[Jared]

Yeah. Other guy went, either.

[Miles]

I've never really been.

[Ryan]

That's the only time. And I was mocking because an said lmao.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

So here, Jared, you.

[Jared]

No, nothing really damn.

[Ryan]

Interesting.

[Miles]

I don't even have an lmfa.

[Jared]

Next word is penis.

[Tyler]

Okay, here's the proof. No one has ever texted me the word penis, nor have I sent it.

[Ryan]

I have a weird amount of penises in here. The word or a photo of a penis.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah, Nothing.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're talking like, yeah, the word. Or like, how many times have I sent my penis?

[Jared]

I think both words work.

[Ryan]

I was explaining we had to borrow my buddy's jacked up truck for a video, and I was explaining to him what we needed it for. And I said, the line is, I have a small penis. So I bought the biggest truck I could find, and he still wanted me to borrow the truck. What a guy.

[Tyler]

What a guy. Great video.

[Miles]

Yeah. Okay. Okay. God.

[Tyler]

Oh, no.

[Miles]

Can I.

[Ryan]

Can I say my second time? Yeah, yeah. I said to An, I said, so what do you want to talk about?

[Tyler]

And boy, here we go.

[Ryan]

And she said, penis.

[Jared]

Hold on.

[Ryan]

I lost it. This was in 2018.

[Jared]

Domino Dan.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. No, I was not Domino Dan. That was. That was post Domino Dan. Okay? This was. They had two stints.

[Tyler]

He was okay. In between stints, he was occasional Domino's Oscar.

[Ryan]

I said, so what do you want to talk about? Penis. She said, penis. I said, what do you want what about penis? She said, they're weird. And I said, so are vaginas. And she said, true. And I said, lol. Good talk.

[Tyler]

True love.

[Miles]

Yeah. What a combo. What a combo.

[Ryan]

That was like, we were just. We just. Just started dating too, so I knew she was the one. Penises are weird. Just like, I think vaginas.

[Jared]

You're so silly.

[Miles]

Oh, my God, you have good talks.

[Ryan]

If you wonder what kind. What my game is like, I'll tell you. It's right there.

[Miles]

You shut that penis talking about right away. The last time I said the word penis in a text was May 1st. And two of our. Our two friends had a baby. Baby. And they told us it was a boy. And I said. And they said, but no name yet. And I says, I said, well, name doesn't matter. Because I said, name doesn't matter. He's got a penis and so does my kid, so they're gonna be best buds.

[Tyler]

That's pretty funny.

[Ryan]

Nice, Ryan, nice.

[Jared]

The next word is tits. Similar to boob.

[Ryan]

Okay, so the last time that I said tits was in January 12th of 2022. This is. The conversation was between me and Ryan. And I said, can you come to my office? And he said, on the pod. And I said, okay, come here when done.

[Miles]

Done.

[Ryan]

And then I just wrote the word kisses. And then you said P's and T's. Like P apostrophe s and T apostrophe s. And I just said pussies and tits. So. So what do you. What do you think? We were talking. What do you think the meeting was about? Legendary stuff by us.

[Tyler]

Creamy keyboard.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

Mine was. Mine was. Let's see, March, April or January. April 9th of this year.

[Ryan]

Did you just have to count to see if 4 was April? Yeah, I did.

[Miles]

Yeah, that's.

[Jared]

I did.

[Ryan]

That's really.

[Miles]

But yeah, I do.

[Ryan]

The beginning, though, it's, you know, once you start getting into like, September's easy because.

[Jared]

9, 11.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're right.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I always go off people's birthdays like, well, my birthday is. My sister's birthday's in June. That's six. So then I know July 6, 7.

[Ryan]

Anyways.

[Miles]

Let'S see. I was going. I was. I was going golfing with a buddy at his country club, and he said, I'm going to eat brunch there before we play. I said, okay, I'll be there. And. And then I said, they got tits and grits there. Tits and grits. It's is popular around our area at the Gentleman's Club downtown Sunday Sunday morning.

[Tyler]

Breakfast buffet at the strip club.

[Ryan]

I don't know why you need to explain yourself. You can just want and grill.

[Miles]

That's true. Yeah, that's very true. Yeah. Yeah, you. You might country club. You may be able to get them there. Pay enough dues, I'm sure.

[Tyler]

In. In November, on November 17, 2023, I just unprompted sent a text to my buddy. What's up sweet tits?

[Jared]

Nice.

[Miles]

Nice. Yeah, it's always nice to shoot a.

[Ryan]

Quick been nice out there. Next time try sugar tits.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Yep.

[Jared]

Mine's kind of bad.

[Tyler]

Oh no, that's fine.

[Jared]

Text my brother. You see how big Ben Shapiro sisters tits are?

[Tyler]

Telling you, Jared unshelled with his brother. Dude, Jared unchelled.

[Ryan]

We should just do a weekly segment where he just reads him and his.

[Tyler]

Brother'S conversation and I'm not gonna google Ben Shapiro's system.

[Ryan]

No, we've all seen the photo.

[Miles]

I haven't.

[Ryan]

Baby blue dress. We've all seen it. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I told you. We've all seen it.

[Miles]

I Tyler and I haven't.

[Tyler]

I'm googling it right now.

[Miles]

I'm not gonna google it. I'm not gonna google it.

[Ryan]

We've all seen it. Yeah, I knew exactly what we were talking about. I'm married.

[Miles]

I'm not.

[Ryan]

Oh, up off Mr. Tits and Grits.

[Tyler]

I googled it, Jared. You're correct.

[Jared]

Yeah, I apologize. But whatever.

[Ryan]

Don't apologize for being a man.

[Jared]

All right, the next word is grill.

[Ryan]

This could be very damning for Tyler. All right, I should have went. Mine's. Mine's kind of boring, but it's actually a great opportunity to. To dive into the behind the scenes of you beta here.

[Tyler]

Okay. Cuz that's what all mine are. All of mine are script based. Yep. I'm texting you and Jake about like so and so wants the more shots of the grill. This and that.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Hold on. I'm getting a phone call during the only time where I have my phone out. All right, so behind the scenes here. This was a. I texted a script that I of a video that I wanted to do with Charlie and actually looking at this now, I think we should done it. We didn't do it. The title of the script, this was in October is when you don't say that's not going anywhere. And so this is the rough script. Charlie straps down a grill and says okay, there we go. And then I say, aren't you going to say the thing? Charlie says? What thing? I say Give it a couple flicks and say, that's not going anywhere. And then he says, no, that's dumb. Why do I need to do that? And I said before, because we are guys and that's what we do. And he says, no, seriously, why do I need to do that? I said, I guess I don't know if you need to do it, but I'm not willing to risk it, so just do the thing. And the guy, he says, no. And he says, come on, man. What. What if it. I say, well, come on, man. What if it goes somewhere? He says, it's strapped tight. I'm guessing it's probably not going. Going to go anywhere. And I said, and you. You know that for sure if you just did the flick and said the line. He said, no, I'm not doing it. Get in the truck. Let's go. Go. I like, this is a bad idea, dude. We get in the truck. Charlie says, it's going to be fine. It's going to be fine. Then we hear a noise from the back of the truck, and we see the strap fly off of the grill. Then the grill starts moving on its own, jumps out of the B bed of the truck and takes off. Miles and Charlie are chasing after it, arguing, arguing. Then we lose it. We can't find it. And we're like, way to go, dude. We lost the grill. So we walk around the corner and we. We see the grill standing there, and the grill is smoking a cigarette. Nice. And I say, is that. Charlie says, is that that grill have a cigarette in its mouth? And I say, well, I guess it is a smoker. We should have done that video. Done that one.

[Tyler]

I think the reason we didn't do it is because we're like, we're going to need to like, the logistics of figuring out how to make it look like it's jumping out of the.

[Ryan]

I had it in my head. You guys just didn't trust me, Okay? I knew how we were going to do it. Maybe we'll do it. Try that in the spring.

[Jared]

We'll sneak peek my.

[Tyler]

I have like five of them texting Miles and Jake about grills and videos.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

[Tyler]

The last text that's not one of those is me to a buddy. I don't own a grill anymore, so we'll have to pan fry them.

[Ryan]

Off. You. You. You scrolled back to find that?

[Tyler]

I had to. That's. That's the last one that wasn't about scripts.

[Miles]

Man of your word. Not a girl guy.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that was from September 18, 2024.

[Miles]

Mine is from April 18th of this year. I sent a picture to my neighbor of. So my. My dad was driving to work, and he hit. There was a turkey that just flew from, like, the ditch into his windshield. So I sent my neighbor a picture of the windshield, and it was completely just spiderwebbed. And he said, wow, hope everyone is okay. And I said, yep. Only thing not is the windshield and front grill.

[Jared]

Makes sense.

[Miles]

It's a classic.

[Tyler]

Nice.

[Jared]

Yeah. Miles. What was I was actually to you, Miles, is that we're at City Social Bar and Grill. It's instead.

[Ryan]

That's it.

[Jared]

It was just a bar we were at, I think in Minneapolis or something like that. Yeah, that's all it was.

[Miles]

Is that G R I L L E or G R I l l ll?

[Jared]

Okay, the last word is filter.

[Miles]

September 2, 2025. Texted the wife want me to pick up milk and coffee filters. So it's been since at least September. It's been before September since they're changing air filters. I got those. I got to get those swapped out.

[Tyler]

I've only sent it three times, and all three of them have something to do with video and audio editing.

[Ryan]

That's exactly where I'm at. I'm trying to see if I got an air filters rant in here somewhere. I know that's why you did it. It's a lot of filter talk.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Mine's like, yeah, that's mine too. Audio doesn't sound that bad. You could edit it in audition with some filters.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Will.

[Tyler]

Will a filter kill the buzz? Probably like a week out from recording. Then we'll have to filter through the questions and get it to. To them. Those are my only three texts where I've ever said filter.

[Ryan]

Okay, I didn't say this, but my mother texted me on May 21st of 2025 and said. She just said, dad said he changes the air filter every January.

[Tyler]

Once a year.

[Ryan]

Once a year. Why do I got to change it eight times a year?

[Tyler]

Maybe he has thicker filters, but that.

[Ryan]

Was clearly after.

[Tyler]

Mine'S a once a year.

[Ryan]

And then I said. And then I said to my mom, apparently our H Vac is a ticking time bomb. According to my experience, every three days, you're supposed to switch out the air filters. And then my mom said, I suggested every six months to your dad. And he said, no.

[Miles]

See, that's what I love about your dad. It's like, even though the world is telling him every three to six months. Months, he's not gonna do it.

[Ryan]

And then I said, people Are telling me every three months. He said. Dad said he has never done it more than once a year. But yours might be different. Yeah, we think every six months should be good. Check it in three months, see if it's bad. I said I check it every night now. Don't want my house to explode.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's a serious issue. I mean.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was definitely in the middle of one of my crash outs about air filters for sure. And it's a great. It's a great moment to remember that. Guys, check your air filters. I actually just changed my air filter this last weekend.

[Tyler]

Nice.

[Miles]

Mine are being delivered to the house today, actually.

[Ryan]

Big deal.

[Miles]

I feel like if one person in the office changes air filters, then word gets around.

[Tyler]

It's like a trickle down.

[Miles]

Yeah, we're all synced up. Yeah, we're synced up for filters.

[Ryan]

I mean, that would be smart. There should be Air Filter Day. There should be like on the news.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Every three months. Just do National Air Filter Day.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And want to be great for Big Air filter. They're gonna love that. Give them what they want. But hey, I could champion National Air Filter Day. Think how many people haven't changed their air filter in years because they just forget about it. I don't even know. Gotta start raising awareness. Harness.

[Miles]

There probably is.

[Ryan]

People might be just getting sick in this world because they're not changing their air filters.

[Jared]

You know, it's a big filter. Wants you to know.

[Ryan]

Wait, am I turning into a puppet for Big Filter?

[Jared]

It's a psyop.

[Miles]

So while there isn't one universally recognized National Air Filter Day, the closest observance is National Indoor Air quality day on September 2nd.

[Ryan]

Okay, next we'll put on our calendar.

[Miles]

Promotes checking and changing filters.

[Ryan]

Panthers. I'm. Yeah, I'm all on board.

[Jared]

September.

[Ryan]

Not for the reason why they started the day. Mostly just so I don't have to call the H Vac guys again.

[Jared]

H Vac guys probably take that day off. September 2nd.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

July is often promoted by filter companies as air filter check month for H Vac systems.

[Jared]

Oh, wow. Exciting.

[Tyler]

Thanks for the email.

[Ryan]

I like that segment, Jared. That was great. Is that all we got today? You got a fun fact?

[Jared]

Yep, I do. Fun fact. Mistletoe is an aphrodisiac. The holiday decoration isn't just pretty. It's also an ancient symbol of fertility and virality. Virality, virality.

[Tyler]

Either one works.

[Jared]

And the druids considered it an aphrodisiac.

[Tyler]

So that's why you kiss under it.

[Ryan]

That's what I'm not doing way more than Kiss.

[Jared]

Hell yeah.

[Tyler]

Doing.

[Ryan]

I'm doing. You ever heard the song, you know, mommy saw. Wait, Dick, I. I saw Mommy doing hand stuff with Santa Claus under the mistletoes. And there a song about that.

[Tyler]

That's it. You did. That's the chorus.

[Ryan]

Makes so much sense now. I was wondering why Mommy was doing hand stuff with Santa.

[Tyler]

I saw Mommy cranking Santa was.

[Ryan]

It's Advent.

[Miles]

You know, our kids were naughty. You weren't going to get presents.

[Ryan]

It's a little. It's a little Advent joke for the kids to go home with.

[Miles]

We got to put cookies out, right?

[Tyler]

Plenty of milk, though.

[Ryan]

Someone got a creamy keyboard for Christmas. You guys.

[Jared]

You boys.

[Ryan]

You boys. All right, well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet yout Radio. Have a great week, and we'll see you next one.

[Miles]

Oh, you betcha. Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah, you betcha. Hoa. What rules are you making and how are you enforcing them?

[Miles]

Who's in charge?

[Ryan]

I think we make Jared in charge for this one.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's got the most experience. Experience.

[Ryan]

He's. He's recently moved into a house you are in charge of. We all live in the same neighborhood.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Ryan]

And you are head of the hoa.

[Jared]

Okay. Ryan, you'll be in charge of lawn.

[Ryan]

And snow removal for the narc, basically.

[Jared]

No, no. So you'll be in charge of going all the lawns and.

[Ryan]

Okay, so we're not hiring it out. We're just. Ryan's just gonna do it. I like that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah. I'm just gonna push all the snow.

[Ryan]

So, guys, drive with who gets all of the dues, then for that, just straight to Ryan or you? Are you pocketing that?

[Jared]

I'll split it up.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jared]

Yeah, I'll split it up.

[Miles]

That just seems like a deal for me.

[Ryan]

Don't move to that neighborhood. You're not in charge.

[Tyler]

You read the Covenants when you bought the house.

[Ryan]

It's true.

[Jared]

Tyler will be, like the rules follower. He'll be, like, in charge of the nar.

[Tyler]

Okay. I report to you on any infractions, any fraction actions. Yep.

[Jared]

What else does an HOA do?

[Miles]

What are the rules?

[Ryan]

I'm. I'm loving where I'm at right now.

[Tyler]

Yeah. What am I narking on where.

[Ryan]

What's my role here?

[Jared]

I'm just. Yeah, I'm trying to figure all that out.

[Tyler]

You can plan the block parties.

[Ryan]

Oh, I could be a party planner.

[Jared]

Yeah. Yeah. Party. Yeah. Culture. We'll call you Culture.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we'll be. I'll Be the culture. I'll be the glue guy of the neighborhood.

[Tyler]

Heavy on the cult.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So it's going to be, you know how, like, Republicans, Democrats, are always fighting in the House. It'll be me, the party guy, always fighting Tyler at the meetings, because Tyler hates fun, and I love fun.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And I. I'll report him a shitload. Yep, yep, yep.

[Ryan]

And I will report him a shitload for being a skeevy little perv looking at all my business.

[Tyler]

And I'm reporting him right now for reusing skeevy little perv in an official meeting.

[Miles]

Well, who's hr? Who determined is Jer. Head. Head of hoa.

[Jared]

We contract that out. We contract.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. That's what we contract out.

[Miles]

Got it.

[Ryan]

Seems like good money well spent.

[Miles]

So, Jared, what are you doing.

[Jared]

Going to conferences? Trying to improve the HOA and the function of our community.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah, dude, now you bring up. You just went to that new conference in Salt Lake. How was it? Yeah, what did. Yeah, it's not. It wasn't Utah. It was me. Yeah, dude, how was you Debrief us. What'd you learn at the conference in Salt Lake City?

[Tyler]

I'd like to object. He didn't put in a formal request to ask that question.

[Ryan]

He's the boss. Narc.

[Jared]

Well, we have trash days on Thursdays, but I think trash days are gonna be better on Mondays because people throw away more stuff throughout the weekend.

[Ryan]

That is so smart.

[Jared]

So we're gonna change trash days to Monday.

[Ryan]

Plus, I have most of my parties on the weekends, too, so.

[Miles]

Yeah, but why does that matter? Because if your trash is empty on Thursday, then it. You can just fill it up on the weekend. Like, regardless, it'll still be the same.

[Tyler]

Amount of trash, stinky garbage, if it's taken out right away.

[Jared]

The guy that said this to me was very convincing, so I believe him.

[Ryan]

It just. It was at the conference, dude, he's. You can find the slides, but it totally makes sense, you know? Know, higher percentage of garbage in the garbage can, the least amount of time. I think that's just smart. I think we have a great president of the HOA right now. What else? Is that it? That was. That was the only takeaway.

[Tyler]

All the way to salt. There.

[Miles]

We could. We. We wait. We could.

[Ryan]

We're gonna.

[Jared]

There's a lot of dinners.

[Tyler]

Wait.

[Miles]

We could contract HR out, but we can't contract snow removal out.

[Ryan]

What did the conference say about that? They.

[Jared]

They say it depends.

[Ryan]

A fluid situation.

[Jared]

They say. The. The best way to remove snow is to have Somebody on staff do it.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Because they.

[Ryan]

That makes sense.

[Tyler]

If it's a resident of the neighborhood, they're going to care more about what the neighborhood looks like than some random attention detail.

[Jared]

They say you never. When a blizzard's coming, so you have to be prepared. You can't be contracting that out. Stuff out. Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

God. I mean, that makes total sense to me.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And weirdly enough, we're agreeing on this one. I think this makes sense.

[Jared]

Y.

[Ryan]

This is a. This is a bipartisan issue here.

[Tyler]

Yep. We. We jumped across the aisle here for this one.

[Ryan]

Anything else you learned from the conference?

[Jared]

Salt Lake has a lot of good steakhouses.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jared]

Hey, there's a lot of good bonding.

[Ryan]

Do you think we can get any of steakhouses near the neighborhood?

[Jared]

Yeah, I think we got to talk to the city about zoning, but they say is. Just talk to your zoning guy and.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

While we talk to see about zoning, can we talk to them about snow removal?

[Ryan]

Well, no, you're not. You don't have to do the road. You're just doing people's driveways and sidewalks.

[Miles]

Why don't we just. After they're done doing the road, they can just plop over into the HOA.

[Ryan]

Prez.

[Jared]

It's a fluid situation. Yeah.

[Tyler]

It's all about finding balance.

[Ryan]

I like it any.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And it's. It's crazy that you just got elected president of the HOA yesterday and you already went to this Salt Lake conference.

[Tyler]

He's that confident.

[Ryan]

That's why we voted him in. Right. Is because he's just going above and beyond. He's going to. He's going to HOA conferences even if he's not even in the HOA.

[Tyler]

Well, after he handled the snow removal problem of 2024, he had my vote.

[Ryan]

That he solved yesterday when he got elected in.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Jared]

So solving yesterday to make a better tomorrow.

[Ryan]

And that's why you're the president.

[Tyler]

So good. Did you contract out marketing too?

[Ryan]

I'm sure.

[Miles]

He probably flew private to Salt Lake too.

[Ryan]

So our legion are my. The next item on the agenda for the meeting is what do you want to do in your first 100 days here as president of the HOA?

[Jared]

I want to get 50 more residents by the next calendar year.

[Ryan]

We're okay. So we don't have any new available lots. So we're kicking people out of their homes and getting new residents in. Or we're expanding the neighborhood.

[Jared]

We're building. Building up.

[Ryan]

Okay. High density. High density residential. Okay.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Who's. You know who's on the Chopping block. We have, like, a location picked out.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'll leave.

[Ryan]

[Tyler]

Do you like the song? A little too much.

[Ryan]

And then you got to ask directions from a genie and a bottle of gin beam. Just going to lie to you. So.

[Tyler]

That is a very profound line.

[Ryan]

It's a great song. I love that song.

[Tyler]

Genie in the genie in a bottle of Jim Beam.

[Jared]

He's the guy that sings Farmer's Daughter, too, right? Yeah.

[Ryan]

Rodney Atkins.

[Jared]

Rodney Atkins. Yeah. Yeah, that's.

[Ryan]

Now that song sucks.

[Jared]

It's totally made up.

[Ryan]

Totally made up.

[Tyler]

He definitely didn't bang the farmer's daughter.

[Ryan]

Watching you. I've been watching you.

[Tyler]

Ain't that cool?

[Ryan]

I'm your buckaroo I want to be like you and eat all my food and grow as tall as you are like fixing things I holding mama's hand, yeah, we're just like, hey, ain't we, dad? I want to do. Do everything you do. So I've been watching you.

[Tyler]

Does that song start out with the kids just, like, dropping F bombs because he's been watching?

[Ryan]

No. Yeah, it's. It starts with S, and I was concerned. Yeah, four letter word starts with S and I was concerned.

[Tyler]

It's way better if he said F.

[Ryan]

He dropped his nuggets or something, slamming the brakes and nuggets went flying everywhere. Mumbled under my breath. And then his kid copied what he said.
