Overview

This episode marks the You Betcha crew’s first recording in their brand new studio. The gang—Myles, Ryan, Tyler, and Jared—spend the episode riffing on Midwest work culture, the art of being passive-aggressive (“being shitty about it”), adapting to a new workspace, parking lot politics, the one phrase that can get anyone out of hot water ("Thanks for understanding"), and a draft of the worst text messages to receive. It’s a mix of nostalgia, man-culture, home-rigging DIY, and classic deadpan Midwest humor.

Transcript

[Ryan]

I ask. I, I do. I'm. I'll say right now, I do a lot around here.

[Miles]

I don't. The rest of us.

[Ryan]

And I don't ask.

[Miles]

We all do stuff and I don't ask for much.

[Ryan]

And I, I. Where I probably up was. I just asked Jared and I. I probably should have asked the entire group or just told the entire group. My only request in the new studio was to sit on the end chair because whenever I sit in the middle chair during when we used to do interviews and I. I'm playing. It's. I'm watching a game of ping pong over here.

[Miles]

Well, someone's got to play ping pong if we're gonna do it this way,

[Jared]

so it's gonna be Marty supreme.

[Tyler]

I don't.

[Ryan]

I don't know who Marty's. Well, I know it's a movie.

[Tyler]

I haven't seen it, to be fair. We all got a ping pong. Is that to look at you.

[Miles]

To look at Jared, you, Ryan, and I'm ping ponging Jared.

[Tyler]

You. You ping pong between us. We ping pong between Jared and the rest.

[Jared]

I ping pong the last.

[Tyler]

Everybody.

[Miles]

We are all ping ponging.

[Ryan]

Jared does the least amount of talking, though.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he doesn't have to ping pong. So you can switch with Jared, get produce.

[Miles]

We all do work around here, by the way.

[Ryan]

I know. I'm. I'm not. I'm not saying we just all. I'm not saying you guys don't.

[Miles]

Yes, your work is more physically demanding by. Especially with the move lately. I understand that, but we're all still working all day.

[Ryan]

And that's. That's not even. That was just. That was the precursor to what I was being shitty about.

[Miles]

So for those that don't know, Ryan's not happy about his spot in the new studio. So here we go. Do you want to switch? I. No, no, no.

[Ryan]

Actually, no, I'm not.

[Miles]

Actually was trying to do it as a way to show that it was the second guy on the podcast, the third guy on the podcast. And I was. It was actually out of respect for you. And then now you want to sit in the third chair. So I don't know what to do here. I need. I. I was like, I need my guy Ryan, right next to me, his left hand man. My left hand man.

[Tyler]

And.

[Miles]

And now you wanna. You wanna abandon me for Tyler's. No, no, he's only got one. He's only got one armrest over there.

[Ryan]

I'll be. And I. I tested the armrest out Didn't I? Yeah. And it was fine. I would thrive over in that spot. But that's. It's not even about that. I'm not.

[Miles]

Okay, let's do it.

[Ryan]

I'll be. I'll be sitting until this podcast is completely done with. I'll be sitting right here. No, I can be shitty about it without actually putting it into effect. Yeah, like, me feeling better about the situation is just to be shitty about it, and sometimes I need to do that. It actually feels good. And also, I think this is a setup because now, like, my nuts are right in the middle of the frame, so I have to be careful whenever, whatever day we film the podcast, I got to be careful with what I wear.

[Tyler]

You just gotta wear undies. You're good.

[Miles]

Just wear underwear. We'll be fine. As long as you don't have a nut pop out.

[Jared]

We don't shoot it live. I could always blur it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that would be fun. Just put a blur on the rest of the episode.

[Jared]

Patreon will be uncensored.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we did. We did realize that there are some nut shots, so we joked that we're gonna do suction cup dildos right in the camera angles for our nut shots.

[Miles]

That's your other option.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, yeah, whatever option's fine. If you want to blur it, you'll have to blur it to the floor.

[Miles]

Are you now being shitty about your mic, too? Fix it like the rest of us. I tilted towards you.

[Ryan]

There we go.

[Tyler]

Fix.

[Ryan]

That's what we do.

[Jared]

There we go. Teamwork. Dream work.

[Tyler]

Live audio engineering.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm better now.

[Tyler]

I feel good.

[Jared]

I feel great.

[Miles]

And I know what this is about. This is. This is about at least one full month of us, of Ryan basically doing the move by himself while the rest of us continue to keep the boat afloat. And it's just boiling over a little bit. I get it.

[Ryan]

Maybe a little bit. You might be correct.

[Miles]

And, you know, it's like, that's. We all had a job to do, and it just sucks that your job the last month has been very intense.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you had. You had way more boxes to move than the rest of us, for sure. I don't mean that to sound as shitty as it came out.

[Miles]

No, like, I really don't know. Like. Like, yeah, your last. Your last month, you guys. It's last two months as it's. It's like, I wouldn't trade my job for your job the last two months. And I get that. And it's kind of boiling over a little bit, but we're moved into this place.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, and it's great.

[Miles]

And any other stuff you got. I told you you could take a week off if you want. Not say that.

[Ryan]

No, I can't miss the podcast. No, I know, but I told the guy.

[Miles]

I understand you've been working hard, you've been doing a lot of shit, and I got. This is. Actually, I said if you need to take some days off, just let me know.

[Ryan]

Yeah, maybe I will. Maybe I'll just take a day off.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you can.

[Miles]

You can. You absolutely can.

[Tyler]

I know I can do it.

[Jared]

Do it.

[Miles]

Do it. You want?

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, you can't do it.

[Miles]

So, anyways, this is what we've been working with here since we're in the new studio.

[Jared]

It's a great christening for the new studio.

[Miles]

We just got the first riff out of the way.

[Tyler]

We get to do a cleanse.

[Miles]

I'm being dead serious. Set all of your stubbornness aside. Do you want to sit there?

[Ryan]

No. No. Because now I'm fine with it.

[Miles]

Okay. All right.

[Ryan]

Again, I had to be shitty about it, and now I'm. Now I'm over it. I'm fine with it. Now I'm ready to rock.

[Miles]

Did you. Will you at least admit, though, that we did say that we all have to ping pong?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we talked about the ping pong. I think the other. The other issue is that if. Like, if I'm talking to you, like, if I just get done it. See, the thing is, I. I'm. I've. I'm known to argue with both of you at times. So if. If my head is turned one way, then I. We could. We could. We could have a talker on the other side.

[Miles]

Okay. Like, behind.

[Ryan]

Quite literally behind my back, almost. If I were to just turn this way.

[Miles]

Right.

[Jared]

If that. If that happens, I'll. I'll be reinforcements for you.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You have to let me know if people snitch, please do.

[Tyler]

The tires making faces at you, Ryan, then I'm good.

[Miles]

But, Ryan, I want you to also remember, you're going to do less neck cranking with this setup, because I can see you. Before we were like this, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah. We didn't make much. I never.

[Miles]

I never even saw you. I just would talk to you like this.

[Ryan]

I know.

[Miles]

Yeah. The crank and then we had the pole in the way.

[Tyler]

I would.

[Miles]

Objectively, this is better for your neck.

[Ryan]

Might be in my back with this chair, because. Do we.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Is the other chair in here?

[Miles]

Back.

[Ryan]

It's back there. It's.

[Tyler]

It's Waiting for you. We need to change your mind. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Again. I just. I just had to be shitty about it for. For a little bit, and now I'm good.

[Miles]

I feel like once a month, someone's getting pissy at each other in this office.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So I spend a lot of time together.

[Miles]

We do time together, so. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of you Bet. Your radio podcast.

[Tyler]

All right, back to it.

[Miles]

We're in the new studio. We're still figuring out what we're gonna do with the background. We're still figuring out if even this is a permanent thing here. I don't know. After this.

[Ryan]

I like it. No, it looks good on the camera. It's the first time I'm looking at it.

[Miles]

Yeah. And so. Yeah. What do you guys think? I feel like this is exactly what we need.

[Tyler]

It's a little weird being so close to you guys. It's gonna take some getting used to.

[Miles]

Yeah. You'll figure it out.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Even in. Even in the double Bogey show, Ryan and I had a cooler between each other.

[Ryan]

Well, now we have a armrest. Yeah, this is my arm. Nope, nope, nope, nope. It's attached to my chair, so.

[Miles]

I actually didn't even think about how much this podcast could be elevated with physical confrontation as well as verbal confrontation.

[Ryan]

That's very true.

[Miles]

We definitely were all spaced out very far.

[Jared]

We're very coveted compliant. Yeah, we were.

[Miles]

We were social distancing on accident.

[Tyler]

You can never be too safe. It's been six years, but because I

[Jared]

had glass in front of me, and now I don't.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, that's, like, very true.

[Jared]

It's, like, going from, like, standard definition to, like, high definition.

[Miles]

Yeah. Have you always. Have you always been that ugly, Jared?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I like it, though.

[Ryan]

I think it looks good.

[Miles]

You know what's. So we have always joked in this podcast, and the reason why we have this rug, it's the, you know, big Lebowski joke that the rug, right, ties the room together. But the other night, like, Friday, I was here at, like, 9pm Just, like, moving around by myself, and I was looking at it, and, I mean, it looks weird. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. And then I went, the rug's not down. I put the rug down, and I was like, this. It ties the whole room together.

[Tyler]

Changed everything.

[Miles]

I want you guys to know how important this rug is for the vibes of this studio.

[Tyler]

Can you imagine how pissed we'd have been at each other if the rug wasn't here?

[Miles]

It would have been all. All sorts of.

[Ryan]

I'd have flipped that table over.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, in an absolute heartbeat. That table would have been on its. On its top.

[Jared]

It really does tie the room together.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Should get some carpet tape on that baby.

[Miles]

So one complaint about the new office is we got one bathroom in our office. Then there's one public bathroom, which is a public one. Yeah, I think there is.

[Jared]

Yeah, there is.

[Ryan]

I don't know where it's at, but.

[Miles]

Oh, and also we found out there's a vending machine in this building which is clutch.

[Tyler]

Oh, let's go.

[Miles]

But me and Noah went up there today. Everything's sold out except for Monster Diesel and Soni Water.

[Tyler]

Nice. Carbonated water. Intentionally. Yeah.

[Miles]

And there might have been a mellow yellow or two available. Sure.

[Ryan]

And we know what mellow yellow does to.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

God.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I drink a lot.

[Miles]

Yellow five is what I call it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Is it one of them. It's not one of them vending machines. You can stick your hand up and.

[Miles]

It's old school. Vending machine. Yeah, so.

[Jared]

So we'll tip that thing over later and get a free one.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah. Does anyone have any? That's one of the things that sucks about this office is the one bathroom.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I would agree after being in

[Miles]

here now for a couple of days. Is there anything else you guys hate?

[Jared]

There's one really funny part about the bathroom is the bathroom drain. Have you seen it? Yeah, the tile.

[Tyler]

The tile work. I look at that every time I'm peeing.

[Ryan]

It's unbelievable. Actually laughing about the last probably 24 hours.

[Miles]

This is just a bunch of tiles pieced together.

[Jared]

I'll take a photo of it quick and show you a photo.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's like somebody dropped a tile and then just used the pieces to make the drain.

[Miles]

Well, it's because it's. It's got to go.

[Tyler]

It.

[Miles]

Because it's got to go from all angles. Right.

[Ryan]

The way that they cut the pieces,

[Miles]

I just could have cut it like a pizza.

[Tyler]

Yeah. They could have made it look uniform or like planned. This looks like they dropped the towel. Like we don't have any more.

[Ryan]

Like it looks like my four year old arts and crafts.

[Miles]

That is dog shit. It's like it looks like a. Like a. Like a conch, Shel, is what it looks like. Maybe they were getting the conch treatment.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Who knows?

[Miles]

Yeah. Who knows?

[Tyler]

There's a tropical theme in there before.

[Ryan]

One thing I do like about this place though is we once we get stuff put on the walls, we're actually gonna have a place to, like, put toilet paper and poopery and like that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. The cupboards have stocked already.

[Ryan]

We're gonna be utilizing cupboards a lot more than we did in our last place.

[Miles]

Are we?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. I'm gonna make sure of it. Because before, I had to walk downstairs in order to get that done.

[Miles]

It's true.

[Ryan]

You know, now we're on where we've

[Jared]

also had, like, random strangers come through the front door.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah, this. This building used to be a staffing agency. We've come to understand. And so we just have had people. We had two people come in asking. They're like. We're like, oh, they're not here anymore. So they left. Then another guy came in later, and he goes, this the staffing agency. I go, no, we are not. And he's like. He's like, well, what do you guys do? Are you hiring? Yeah. He was ready to do any job.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And honestly, Ryan, we should. We should have hired him as day labor for you so that you could have had a day off.

[Tyler]

You could have put on. Emptied all the boxes.

[Ryan]

You guys. You get a card from him or anything?

[Tyler]

No.

[Miles]

And then. So then after that, I. Oh, my God. Jared.

[Tyler]

Jared's mic.

[Miles]

His mic fell, and it. And it up the camera. This is a mess.

[Tyler]

Start.

[Miles]

He gets you eliminate the glass, and the guy just can't handle it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he's not. Yeah, he's. He was breathing his own. He was breathing his own oxygen in the last place.

[Jared]

We're good.

[Miles]

Okay, you're back.

[Tyler]

Thank God.

[Miles]

So after that guy came in, I said, I'm not dealing with that anymore. So I made a. I made a sign for the door. It says, staffing agency is no longer at this location. Please do not come in and ask. Yeah, thanks. And have we had anyone?

[Tyler]

No.

[Ryan]

No.

[Tyler]

I haven't even seen anyone come and snoop at it yet.

[Ryan]

I did yesterday. I saw. I was walking behind a guy, and he was.

[Miles]

And he stopped and then left. He.

[Ryan]

He was just going for a walk, but he stopped to read the sign and then kept going.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

He had no intentions of stopping. I mean, he works in a different.

[Jared]

You're like, where are you going?

[Miles]

Yeah, what are you doing?

[Ryan]

Yeah, what are you looking at? The. You looking at?

[Tyler]

Take one, go get a job.

[Jared]

Not.

[Miles]

Also, we have a curved wall in this office.

[Tyler]

What do you do with the curve?

[Miles]

I never even realized. We have this long table that go perfect there. And then we put it there, and it just looks stupid. There's like an 18 inch gap behind the table. What are we supposed to do with that? You can't hang anything on it. We have, like, a nice thing with our logo that we're gonna hang on. How do we.

[Tyler]

I gotta just get, like a really big long bolt in a stud and, like, have a wire on it or something.

[Miles]

Yeah, I think we're gonna have to hook a wire on the back. Maybe hanging from the, I don't know, floating picture frames.

[Jared]

Kind of a.

[Miles]

Kind of a vibe kind of.

[Ryan]

It might be a dumb question, but

[Jared]

it's a safe space.

[Ryan]

When they do that. When they do the curved walls, do they cut the Sheetrock all the way to, like, the paper part to curve it?

[Tyler]

Yeah, you like micro cuts and that's how you mold that just seems like

[Ryan]

a lot of work.

[Miles]

Just done a straight wall and absolutely could have done a straight wall kind of a vibe, but it was probably built in the fucking 90s and they love doing shit like that.

[Tyler]

You probably look cool as shit behind a receptionist desk.

[Miles]

I think another. Funny.

[Jared]

I think another hot receptionist in front of that.

[Tyler]

You put a smoke show in front of a curved wall, game over. Everyone's getting jobs.

[Jared]

Makes it pop more.

[Ryan]

All right, Build your dream receptionist right over there.

[Tyler]

My wife.

[Ryan]

Great answer, great answer.

[Miles]

All right, I'll go next. Tyler's wife.

[Tyler]

Have you ever seen there's a Reddit prompt? He's like, if you could bring back one woman throughout history for a night, a roll in the hay, who would you pick? And some guy's like, my late wife. I miss her so much. And then the next comments, I also choose that guy's dead wife.

[Ryan]

Holy Reddit.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's a.

[Miles]

It's a.

[Ryan]

Be careful.

[Jared]

Good bet you were discretion advised, not nsfw.

[Miles]

No, I like that. I think another thing in this office that I noticed after we moved in is that that office right there clearly used to not be an office, because look at where the light is and how the wall goes over the light.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So that clearly they added that office later, and that was clearly part of the hallway. And then they just said, you know what? It. We'll just leave the light. We'll just go right up to it. So I don't know if you're. If you change that light because can you get that thing open enough to be able to get in?

[Tyler]

Does it go into the other room?

[Ryan]

I don't even think the light works.

[Miles]

Yeah, I don't know. So notice that about it. But yeah, other than that, she'll do

[Ryan]

the one thing I noticed too is the part. The parking lots of. The parking lot is kind of a battleground early in the morning.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

So I've been here. I've been here before anyone else was in the parking lot. So I'm like, oh, this isn't too bad. Like, hopefully you guys show up in the next 15, 20 minutes so you can get a good spot. Five minutes after I was here, Boom, full damn.

[Tyler]

But I got a good spot today.

[Ryan]

I fucking sniped front row at lunchtime. You got to. You got to wait till they go to lunch.

[Miles]

Yeah. And then go. Just move your car.

[Tyler]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

Crack the blinds, wait till they go to lunch.

[Miles]

And then ryan at like 11:55 is fucking peeking. And then they get. They seem drive off and Ryan's just walking out.

[Tyler]

Ryan's just in his truck idling, waiting for them to pull out of this.

[Ryan]

I'm in the lot with my blinker on, waiting.

[Jared]

It's like Shia LaBeouf and Disturbia.

[Miles]

We got a security camera out there. I could put one actually, just facing the.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Parking lot. And so then we can hook it up in your. In your thing. And so you don't even need to be peeking through the shades. You just see someone move.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And honestly, what we should do. Right. And I know you got a lot in your plate, and I don't want to add another thing to your plate, Ryan, because you've been very busy. We could just all hang our keys in your office and you can have the CCTV of the parking lot.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And then over throughout the day as people leave, you go move all of our cars. So we're always front row when we go home.

[Ryan]

Spot one free.

[Miles]

Yeah. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

[Jared]

Yeah. You're like a valet.

[Ryan]

Yeah, kind of. Yeah.

[Miles]

Honestly, Ryan, that would be great if you could speak. You're here first anyways. You could stand by the door so that I can just roll up, throw the keys to you, and you go parking.

[Tyler]

And look nice about it, too. Put on a bow tie.

[Ryan]

No. Before I leave tomorrow, I'm rocks from the landscape and just put them in a spot.

[Jared]

I was thinking like just an orange cone in front of the spot.

[Miles]

Yeah, we have the orange cone.

[Ryan]

Thanks for understanding. But thanks for understanding. After that note, no one's going to touch.

[Miles]

Cuz we knew that the. The parking was an issue in front here. So the night before we moved in, I took to traffic. Or they're more like agility. They're more soccer agility cones. Not like the. The dome ones that like are low

[Tyler]

to the ground still an actual cone.

[Miles]

It's like, you know, in third grade when you, when you're not, you know, your soccer team isn't enough to actually have real goals. You just got cones about those.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Miles]

So I had. For whatever reason, I have no idea. I had two of them in my. In my garage. Never been used. So book. And again, nine o' clock at night, I got those babies out. I taped a piece of paper to it that said like, reserved for a move in. Thanks for understanding. Exclamation point. And I feel like the thanks for understanding is a lot like this rug. It tied the whole thing together. Yeah.

[Ryan]

One was going to question that because,

[Miles]

like, because it was like, hey, don't park here. But also, we want to be good neighbors.

[Tyler]

Yeah. This will be the one day we inconvenience you.

[Miles]

Yep. And that's the thing is we need to pick and choose when we use those cones because we. We found out that it. Those wield a lot.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

They work.

[Ryan]

Yeah. This. I mean, it could be a month moving. We could just keep putting them out there. It's taking a long time.

[Miles]

And it's one of those things that we learned a lot about human nature that it's like you can get in the super bowl if you just walk in with a ladder.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You can block off anything if you

[Jared]

got some orange cones, agility cones.

[Miles]

We should just see what we can get away with. Let's just start fucking. Let's block off the driveway in here and just see if people don't come

[Tyler]

in and we can leave the reasoning out. We can just say reserved, thanks for understanding,

[Miles]

or just put like, got some shit going on. Thanks for understanding. We don't even have to say reserved. Yeah.

[Jared]

Have had a tough week.

[Tyler]

We should try this other places. Like night before a concert at the Fargo Dome, go put a cone out in a good spot. Just reserve thanks for understanding. Buy our parking ticket like everybody else

[Miles]

and go to the cone. The. The North Dakota DOT and the road construction crew could take a page out of this book if they just. If they slapped a sign on every construction cone on the roads that just said blocked off for construction. Thanks for understanding. We would all be like, oh, yeah, that makes sense.

[Tyler]

If we drive by the sign, it's like slow traffic ahead. Thanks for understanding. I would be way less angry when I reached.

[Miles]

You can't be mad at a sign that says thanks for understanding.

[Jared]

No.

[Ryan]

God, no. When yours was handwritten too.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Wasn't even typed out on a sheet. Of paper.

[Miles]

Yeah. And that's the key. Even if you get a font that looks handwritten, you don't have to write them on. All of them could be good. I think I'm. And I'm starting to think that this can be applied to many things in life. You know, it's like, honey, I'm going golfing in the morning. Thanks for understanding. You know, sorry, buddy, I missed your t ball game. I was golfing. Thanks for understanding that to your child.

[Tyler]

It's hilarious.

[Jared]

Sorry, boss, can't make it in today. I'm hungover. Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

What am I going to respond and say like, no, I don't understand, but

[Tyler]

I already thanked you for it.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Hey, Ryan. Sorry I'm in your chair. Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

It's never his chair.

[Ryan]

I feel. Never his chair. I feel totally, totally much better.

[Miles]

Unless. Unless you. Unless you sharded in that chair, then it's yours.

[Tyler]

I think I sharted in it.

[Miles]

So whoever sharts in that chair first, it's theirs.

[Jared]

Huh?

[Tyler]

Done.

[Jared]

And if you out of it, would you keep it or would you throw it away or clean it?

[Miles]

We'd clean it.

[Tyler]

Clean this chair.

[Miles]

All right.

[Ryan]

Yeah, because. What's that. What's it called? The rule or something?

[Tyler]

Yeah, the poop rule.

[Miles]

If you got poop on it, would you throw it away or wash it? But yeah, I. I don't know. I feel like that could apply to a lot of things. I think we kind of just unlocked a little code in life.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Hey, sorry I cut you off in traffic and flicked you off. Tough week. Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

Imagine if we just made bumper stickers like, not the best driver. Thanks for understanding.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God, I'd be so okay with the person cutting me out.

[Miles]

Essentially. This is what student driver is.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but they don't thank us on it.

[Miles]

They don't say thanks if they. If it was student driver. Thanks for understanding. Yeah, A lot of situations, I'm rolling

[Tyler]

my window down at the stoplight, giving

[Miles]

them advice, like, think how many bar fights.

[Jared]

Throwing shit at them.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Instead of flipping that 16 year old

[Ryan]

off, that's being like, you're doing great.

[Miles]

Yeah, I understand. You're welcome.

[Jared]

Eyes on the road.

[Miles]

I mean, think of how many bar fights we could prevent if. If every bar just started. Like, when you order your drink, it also comes with a T shirt. And then it's like, if I order, you know, Windsor 7, I get a shirt that says, I'm. I'm drinking whiskey. Thanks for understanding. If a guy taps me, he's all pissy. I mean, I turn around, I'm wearing that shirt. He's like, ah, I get it. I've been there.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And then he's like. He's drinking. He's drinking tequila, you know, and he doesn't have anything. Go a long way in this society.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You get that tattooed on your chest when you get drunk, you take your shirt off. I'm hammered. Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

Sorry, officer. I've been drinking. Thanks for understanding.

[Tyler]

You know what? I appreciate that. Carry on. You can pee in the landscaping. I don't care.

[Ryan]

You can do that restaurants, too. I forgot my wallet. Don't have apple pay. Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

You got to pull on the heartstrings a little more. Like, like, you know, like, it's. I've had a tough month. Thanks for understanding.

[Jared]

But moving boxes.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know, it's also a funny bit. You go. You, like, go to a restaurant, and you. You. You order your food, and then when the check comes, just being like, oh, do you guys accept pay it forward? And they'd be like, oh, do you want to pay for someone else's? Like, no. Do you have any banked up? Because I don't have any cash.

[Tyler]

What would they do?

[Miles]

We went through a phase where every restaurant and bar and, like, brewery was doing. You buy it now. What a. What a racket for everyone.

[Ryan]

Yeah, there it was a couple years ago, I feel like.

[Miles]

Yeah, it was probably, like, 2013 to, like, 20. Oh, 17. It was heavy. Like, you go to a brewery and it's like, pint it forward, and you could buy a pint for someone to come get, and you put their name on it, and then they'd never redeem it. So basically, you just bought two drinks.

[Tyler]

Great business model.

[Miles]

Great business model. We should just start doing that for. For, like. That's our only model.

[Ryan]

Slay it forward.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's like.

[Ryan]

Like, I'm not even gonna. Yeah, that's a thing.

[Miles]

But, yeah, like, that would be a good. Maybe business move around Christmas, you know, like, throughout the year, you go to this, and then it's like you. You're like, hey, would you like to buy something for Christmas for someone so you don't forget? And then you just like, yeah, just. I'll put 30 bucks down, and they can come get whatever they want. Yeah, it's like a gift card, but you don't actually have to, like, wrap it up. You can just be like, hey, you just go over there. Your name's on it.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And people love your name. Yeah, it's like the same with the Dairy Queen. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you bet. You could kill the week.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Free corn at the counter for you.

[Miles]

You know, you open up your card, it just says like I left your name at the hardware store. Go pick it up. Yeah, you're kind of like, oh yeah, I get to walk in and go, hey, I'm Miles and I'm here to pick up my.

[Tyler]

That'd be a great prank to play

[Miles]

on your friends and then just not have anything.

[Tyler]

Are you talking about. Yeah, they stopped doing physical gift cards. I just gave them money. So it's there in an account for you. Go over to the hardware store and tell them your name and that you're here to get stuff.

[Miles]

Yeah, just. Just tell them you're Tyler Z. That should do the trick.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I gave him a security code. I did 6969 to be funny. So go up there, tell them Tyler Z. 6969 and see what they say.

[Miles]

They all know. Yeah, that it's some like, some like 19 year old kid who didn't go to college. He's like, what the is.

[Tyler]

Who are you?

[Jared]

I bought you a dance at the strip club. It was 30 bucks.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. Go there. Demand it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

No, no. Yeah, probably use thanks for understanding at the strip club once in a while too. And that's all I'd like to say about that.

[Tyler]

I got a bone to pick with some of the people out in the parking lot though.

[Miles]

Oh, Tyler, it's.

[Tyler]

It's a small, small bone to pick. Okay. The guys with the trucks, you don't need to back in on this side of the building. There's. There was five trailer hitches just waiting to claim shins on the sidewalk this morning.

[Jared]

Yeah, I hate people that Back in.

[Tyler]

If you're going to back into a spot, back in on the opposite side.

[Ryan]

It's such a.

[Jared]

Try hard.

[Ryan]

I'm parked in. I'm backed in right now.

[Tyler]

Is your trailer hitch

[Miles]

if you're doing it every time? Yeah, that sucks. It's annoying. But there's been times where I'm like, oh, to get into this spot. It's going to be easier with my truck to just go this way and then back in because like pull into the handicap and then just back in. Otherwise I got to do a 15 point turn.

[Jared]

You just park in the handicap and

[Tyler]

I got no problem.

[Jared]

Got a big.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I have no problem.

[Miles]

Thanks for understanding.

[Ryan]

Woke up sore. Thanks for understanding. Had to push mow my lawn last night. Thanks.

[Tyler]

Deadlifts last night.

[Jared]

Pretty Sore, banged up on whiskey.

[Tyler]

Long over. I don't care that they're backing in, but don't put your trailer hitch 2 1/2ft over the sidewalk.

[Ryan]

I know. Yeah.

[Miles]

They don't want to hang out in the. It's cuz you don't have a. You don't have a. A truck like us.

[Tyler]

I do.

[Miles]

Kind of does. Yeah.

[Tyler]

But with the hitch in it.

[Ryan]

I will say if I'm parked up front, I will pull in straight, but if I'm parked on the other side, I will back in because.

[Miles]

Which is what Todd wants you to do.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

Thanks for understanding.

[Tyler]

Thank you for understanding.

[Jared]

I don't know, I just feel like it's try hard move.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, if there's no other cars around.

[Jared]

Yeah. Or like this actually pisses my brother off. When people back into their garage with a pickup, that pisses him off.

[Miles]

Okay, well you. I do that once in a while, but that's because my kid is on. So if he's on the back right of me, so I back in. So then he. We can just get him out easier. Right into the open garage. Otherwise we're sometimes up against the wall and the door doesn't open all the way.

[Jared]

I understand.

[Tyler]

You gotta crawl in from the driver's side.

[Miles]

And sometimes I got stuff in the bed that I need to put right in the thing.

[Jared]

That's my brother. It's not me on that one.

[Ryan]

Yeah, let's call him up. What is your brother?

[Miles]

Driver. So I need to like have a sign outside that says like baby on board. Easier to take him out. Thanks for understanding. When I'm backing in.

[Tyler]

Jared's. Dear Jared's brother. Here's why I do this. Thanks for understanding.

[Jared]

Wouldn't hurt.

[Tyler]

He'd probably be less pissed off.

[Ryan]

What is he driving?

[Miles]

I like this new segment that I call Equinox. Jared's brother's complaints. What else does your brother hate?

[Ryan]

He hates the Packers.

[Jared]

He hates the Packers.

[Ryan]

Oh my gosh.

[Jared]

Just. He doesn't like Kevin o' Connell that much. He like. He thinks Brian Flores should be the coach.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Jared]

He doesn't like his neighbors that much because he like when he goes on his deck, he can see like everybody else on their deck and they're like all level with him. He hates that.

[Ryan]

Do they all wave at each other if one walks out like late? Kind of like.

[Jared]

Well, he's also by Airbnb too, so there's like new people on the deck all the time.

[Miles]

That would actually piss me off.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

God. But if You're a salesperson. What kind of job does he have?

[Jared]

He's insurance dude.

[Tyler]

Perfect.

[Miles]

He should be Mr. Wilson on the other side of the fence handing out cards.

[Jared]

That's true.

[Miles]

It's actually a great business model.

[Jared]

Guerrilla marketing. Yeah.

[Miles]

Or maybe do a pretend like he's like the. The butler and he can like bring over some refreshments and then have his card on some coasters.

[Tyler]

These refreshments brought to you by ex insurance company.

[Jared]

It's not a bad idea.

[Miles]

Could be a good idea.

[Jared]

He doesn't like Mark Wahlberg.

[Miles]

I understand that, actually. Yeah. The thing that rubs me the wrong way about Mark Wahlberg is that he says he claims he wakes up at 3:00am oh, yeah. He goes to bed at 7:00pm and wakes up at 3 p. 3:00am that's

[Tyler]

kind of what my dad does.

[Miles]

But why?

[Tyler]

Yeah, to brag about it.

[Miles]

Can't tell me that your life's that much better waking up at 3 versus even 5:30.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's like when do you want to experience the darkness? You want to experience it in the evening or in the morning? Yeah, I mean it's really. I don't know.

[Jared]

Yeah, he's. He also went like halftime of the Patriots. Falcon Super. Well, he left at halftime.

[Miles]

I saw that. That was controversy. Your brother hated that.

[Jared]

Oh, everybody does.

[Tyler]

Isn't he an Eagles guy? Wahlberg?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

No, no, he's Patriots. Yeah.

[Ryan]

You're thinking Eagles because of the movie Invincible.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And you're also.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Bradley Cooper too.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Be Coop. Yeah, he's a easy English guy, all

[Jared]

kind of the same dude.

[Tyler]

That's wild of him.

[Ryan]

A Patriot.

[Tyler]

But if you do an Eagles movie.

[Miles]

But if, but if you know, Mark Wahlberg when he left would have said like something like got a bad. Thanks for understanding.

[Tyler]

Your brother would like him.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's true.

[Miles]

I've been there, man.

[Ryan]

He's like bedtime. Thanks for understanding. Yeah.

[Jared]

You know, you should play the super bowl during the day.

[Ryan]

That game probably didn't get over till like 10 o'.

[Jared]

Clock. It was first ever overtime game.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

First ever OT.

[Miles]

He's this close on an all nighter. If you just did

[Ryan]

TFU by the

[Miles]

time we got home. Been an all nighter. You guys ever in middle school, like think it was a badge of honor to pull an all nighter.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh my God. In is the dumbest thing on. On planet Earth.

[Tyler]

So stupid. I did it one. So when we used to vaccinate turkeys, the guy would come around and pick us all up at like 3:30. 4:00 clock in the morning and bring us to the barn. And I was staying at a friend's house before we had to do turkeys. And we were up till like 10:30 and that's when we usually would go to bed for turkeys. He's like, let's fucking stay up. One time we were zombies in the turkey bar. It was terrible.

[Ryan]

We did. They had like a lock in. This is.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

Late middle school.

[Miles]

That must have been probably what, 2000, 2005.

[Ryan]

Yeah, 2004.

[Miles]

I think that ran rampant through middle schools across America to lock in.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

They would always do church ones too.

[Ryan]

Yep. Church ones. And we did ours at like the junior college in town.

[Miles]

And now they just do that as a drill like every week because they have to. They have to.

[Ryan]

Yeah. World's changing, guys.

[Miles]

Up.

[Jared]

This is fun.

[Miles]

Anymore.

[Tyler]

Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

It used to be a good time and now it's not.

[Ryan]

I think. So. I. I'm pretty sure I slept for like 30 minutes that entire time.

[Jared]

So.

[Miles]

What.

[Jared]

What is a lock in?

[Ryan]

It's pretty much where just have a

[Miles]

sleepover at the school.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And yeah, they have games to go and like that.

[Ryan]

I mean, it was. It was pretty fun.

[Miles]

It was sick.

[Ryan]

Got home at probably 8, 8am the next morning and I slept till 6pm I had to.

[Miles]

I walked home holding my shoes in my hands.

[Tyler]

Lock in. Walk of shame.

[Miles]

Yeah. My shirt was all untucked. Had my tire.

[Tyler]

Tire on your head.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

God, it gives me varsity blues.

[Miles]

Yeah. It was so just a walk of shame at the middle school. Lock.

[Jared]

Drink so much mellow yellow.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jared]

Pizzas.

[Tyler]

You guys want to do a lock in here one time?

[Ryan]

Didn't we talk about doing that?

[Tyler]

They do a sleepover.

[Miles]

Well, we've been talking about maybe getting a different. Actually, this is actually before we even move on here, Jared and I were talking about maybe getting something other than these black chairs.

[Tyler]

Bug beds.

[Miles]

And I found. I found a vintage loveseat that's also. That's also a hide a bed. So we could do a slumber episode of YBR and we all could be in our jammies. We could record the podcast at like 11pm, you know? Yeah. Do a lock in episode.

[Ryan]

Well, again, we'd have to bring a blur out.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You have to blur my entire body.

[Jared]

That's fine.

[Miles]

Wearing your pajamas.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Or do you wear the onesie with the butt flap on the back?

[Ryan]

I just wear boxers,

[Miles]

but yeah. So, I mean, you better enjoy these chairs now because Jared and I might Pull the rug on. You guys. You guys sit on the same chair,

[Ryan]

but if you pull the rug, if room's not tight. Yeah, we gotta keep the rug.

[Tyler]

So we can't do. Hide a bed. It'll cover the rug.

[Miles]

That's true. Figure it out.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah, we'll work.

[Miles]

So this last weekend, when we record this. Well, this would have been. By the time this comes out. A couple weekends ago was Memorial Day weekend.

[Jared]

Yes.

[Miles]

Which at the lake. I just. I didn't do any fun. It just only worked. But one of the things. I was cleaning out my garage, and I was doing this thing where my goal was to get everything off the ground. Have you ever done that?

[Ryan]

Big time.

[Miles]

Mentally, a garage just feels better if everything's off the ground. Even if it's like three inches, but it's hanging on the wall, you feel instantly better.

[Tyler]

I think that's because it's. Even if it's 3 inches off the ground, you could sweep the whole thing without having to move.

[Miles]

And so I was doing that, and I cut some strips of wood to. To screw between the studs so then I could, like, put stuff behind it, and it could lean on it and would still stay upright. And I. This is six. I did 17 inches so that it would overlap each stud a little bit. And I put a level on it and tell you what, I was feeling good about the project up to this point, and then I put a level on it, and I was jacked. I don't know if you guys have ever felt this, but anytime you get a level involved with your project, you instantly feel like this went from a good project to, like, I'm in an elite territory. I used a level. I know that this is level. I. I'm. I might be Tim Allen from Home Improvement.

[Tyler]

I should seriously consider a professional cabinetry installation. Yeah, the most precise woodworking. I need to get into that now.

[Miles]

And then when your wife shows up, you're like, hey, you know that that's actually perfectly level.

[Ryan]

Level.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

She don't care.

[Miles]

She don't give a. That's something. My wife will never understand the joy that a level brings a man. Do you guys ever feel that?

[Ryan]

I. I brought a level to work this morning.

[Tyler]

You have one? I was gonna ask because I have some. I need to hang, but I'm like, I'm not hanging this till I have a level.

[Ryan]

No, it's just the best one in my office. And if you look. If you look at the. If you look at what I hung up, it looks a little bit crooked. But that's because right next to it is, like, some papers that are. Are tacked to a pegboard or whatever.

[Miles]

Pop a level on those.

[Ryan]

Hang on. I'm like, okay, that's. I measured it out. It's got to be level. Put the level on top, dead center.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did that. I put it on there. I screwed the first screw in and then was going to level it, and I was right on the nuts.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Miles]

And I actually laughed to myself, went,

[Tyler]

yeah, good for me.

[Miles]

It's like winning the lottery, getting something level without before you even level it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

At home, I have a laser level.

[Miles]

Oh, my God.

[Tyler]

So if it's a. If it's a painting or something, whatever I need to hang on the wall that has two hooks. Right. I just pound the one nail, set the level on it. Laser level tells me exactly where I need to do it. And it's just perfectly level. When you put it on the first time, it's the best.

[Miles]

It's combining two things that men love. Levels and lasers. Yeah. Levels. I have.

[Ryan]

No, I also have a laser level, but the, like, the part where you screw the tripod in or like the stand, whatever, is just broke off. So it's just a laser level that you cannot screw anything into. So if I'm trying to. If I'm trying to stack a boxes, I'm stack. I'm looking around like, okay, this couch cushion with that one. But then that's a little bit too big. So then I need a smaller tote to stack on top of this. And then here's two coffee table books that I could put. I like, I've had. Sometimes I've had to stack it at least five feet high.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Hanging pictures above, like a. A. A bed frame or the bed. Yeah, yeah. Headboard, whatever. Yeah.

[Tyler]

So I have, like, that every night.

[Miles]

You're gonna have to re. Put them back up. You know what I'm saying? Type. Let's go. He's back. Dude, you're great watching that chair.

[Tyler]

You guys wouldn't have been able to do that dap if you were over here.

[Miles]

Yeah, we would have had to go like this.

[Jared]

Gas buffalo.

[Tyler]

I. I have, like a Swiss army level. It's. So I don't have the laser level on a stick.

[Miles]

It's Swiss.

[Tyler]

It's. Yeah, it's Swiss.

[Miles]

It's a.

[Ryan]

It's army.

[Miles]

Do they make. Do they make good levels over there in Switzerland?

[Tyler]

You don't get more level than the levels in Switzerland.

[Miles]

Didn't know that.

[Tyler]

It's It's a. Looks like a regular level with the bubble and everything. And then it has the laser that comes out.

[Miles]

So. Yeah, I got one of those.

[Ryan]

That.

[Tyler]

That's my laser level.

[Ryan]

You guys ever use the magnetic ones that they're like. It's a strong magnet that can magnetize to the screws in the Sheetrock.

[Tyler]

That's what mine is as well. So it's got the magnet on the one on the bottom part and then the bubble levels on the three sides and then the laser out of one end. So then I gotta turn it if I want to use the magnet and then the level goes across. Got it.

[Ryan]

Because see the one I have a magnet on, the one in my office, but it's not strong enough to adhere to the Sheetrock screws. Those are.

[Miles]

You gotta upgrade.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Now are you guys going. You guys shooting for dead center? Obviously, or. As long as it's inside the black lines, are you cool with it?

[Tyler]

I mean, if I, if I care enough about it to use a level, I'm gonna get it perfect. But if I. If it's like a. A nothing, then I'm not even using.

[Miles]

If you're. If you're just getting it on the one side. If it's up against the black line, that's not level.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, no, for sure.

[Miles]

Why we even. Let's just eyeball it at that point if we're just gonna fucking bump the bubble up to the black line.

[Ryan]

Because I'm thinking of. So I was put. When I was putting garage shelving up each. There's a bracket that goes on every stud. And by the 12th bracket, I'm like it. I don't even care anymore. So we. We were touching. We were touching. I know I should have used a laser, but I. I didn't have enough because I have 11 foot ceilings in my garage.

[Tyler]

You're out of totes.

[Ryan]

I didn't have anything else. I didn't have anything else to stack on top. But I mean, that's fine.

[Miles]

So. Yeah, I mean, so. So I mean your shelves aren't level.

[Ryan]

Then just like. Like the very. Maybe two brackets. But then zip ties. I can zip tie. Zip tie the, the grate down. It looks totally fine. Stack a bunch of on top, you won't even notice.

[Miles]

But we know now. Well, you know, actually like I. I hate that you making me live with this.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Thanks for understanding. It'll be fine.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

No.

[Miles]

Hey, you were tired.

[Ryan]

I've been doing. I've been standing on concrete doing this for three hours. Thanks. For understanding.

[Miles]

All right, I get that. But next time I'm at your house, let's pop a level on it.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Miles]

Let's get it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. We just get it done, Papa Levy.

[Miles]

We'll get it done.

[Ryan]

Well, here's the thing. They were from China, too. And I don't even think this. I don't even think the steel was straight. I think it was crooked.

[Jared]

Yeah. Blame China.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Smart.

[Ryan]

Easiest thing to do.

[Miles]

Shells are from China. Thanks for understanding.

[Ryan]

Yeah, thanks for understanding. It's easy. People blame Timu all the time. Why can't I just blame China as a whole?

[Jared]

Do you want it done or do you want it done right? Right, man.

[Ryan]

I want it to be.

[Miles]

You're a done right guy.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Job finished, John. Not finished.

[Jared]

Okay. Yeah.

[Miles]

I mean, it's a. It's starting to look a little bit like the shiplab trim, but very similar. Very similar.

[Ryan]

I mean, yeah, it's. It's in the garage. It's fine.

[Jared]

I get it.

[Ryan]

Garage ain't perfect.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's a hit. Hey, that's good. Good spin zone.

[Tyler]

Imperfectly perfect. Gotta have garage beak. Have some character.

[Ryan]

And it's not. It's not. That wall isn't. It's not mudded. It's not textured. It's not painted. I just got one wall.

[Jared]

Yeah. If it was level, it'd probably throw the feng shui.

[Ryan]

It would.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It would just be. What, am I in the house now or. No, you're in the garage.

[Tyler]

Yeah, this is a doctor's office. Or is this a garage?

[Ryan]

It's a garage. Can't you see my pickup is backed up?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Did you see my trailer hitch two feet over the sidewalk right here?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. If you're gonna go get something in the fridge, watch your knees because my

[Tyler]

pitch is sticking out your shins, bro. They're gone.

[Ryan]

Don't tell Jared's brother.

[Tyler]

Somebody called Jared's brother

[Miles]

Ryan? You know, some people put a tennis ball hanging from the ceiling to know how far to go in. Ryan, just as soon as his hitch taps the fridge, he's like, I'm far enough in.

[Jared]

It just, like, moves a little bit.

[Tyler]

He's got a bell on the top of his fridge, so when it hits

[Miles]

it, it just jingles a little. Not a bad idea.

[Ryan]

No, not at all.

[Miles]

You could reinforce it. Put a steel plate where you're hitting the trims into.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

Good luck getting into the fridge. Hey, you want something to drink? Yeah, that'd be great. You got a beer out here? Yeah, just hold on. I gotta pull my truck out, take my keys.

[Jared]

Yeah, you put like an empty cardboard box on top of your fridge, and when you hit the fridge and it falls over, that means you backfired enough.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

It's like one of those. It's like one of those videos where they, like, push a ball and then it goes down and Chain reaction and they go all the way. Yeah.

[Tyler]

What are those called?

[Jared]

I don't know.

[Tyler]

They have a name for those contraptions.

[Miles]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

God, I don't know.

[Tyler]

Big fan of them, though.

[Ryan]

I know what you're talking about.

[Miles]

Oh, well, guys, it's good to be in the new studio. Ryan, are you warming up to the spot at least a little bit?

[Ryan]

No, I'm totally fine. I was totally fine after. I just. I just got to be shitty, like I said.

[Jared]

Yeah, I feel like you're good.

[Ryan]

I'm totally fine.

[Miles]

All right.

[Ryan]

I'm finding my way.

[Miles]

All right, guys, well, we're excited to be in new studio. We're gonna take a break. We're gonna come back with some stuff. All right, guys, I don't know about where you're at, but it was 90 degrees out this. This today and this week. And we're still. We're still at the beginning of summer here. And tell you what, my shady rays came in quite handy over the weekend.

[Ryan]

It shaded the rays.

[Miles]

It actually didn't come in quite handy. It came in quite facey for me.

[Tyler]

Nice.

[Miles]

So, yeah, see what?

[Ryan]

Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'm still workshopping jokes. Thanks for understanding, you know. Or would it be more ie than. Than facey? No, it's because it goes on your face. Doesn't go on your eyes.

[Tyler]

It rests on your nose. Maybe it's nosy.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It came in nosy over the weekend.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

These shady ray glasses. And if you guys are in the market for some glasses, which you should be because it's. The sun is under heated.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And if you're going to stare into the sun like I like to, you're going to make sure you have some eye protection.

[Ryan]

Can I tell you guys a story real quick?

[Jared]

Absolutely.

[Ryan]

I'm. Last week was week four of trap shooting league. I'm in trap shooting league, by the way.

[Tyler]

Nice.

[Ryan]

I just got these guys in right here. These are the new tactical shaders.

[Miles]

You wore those for the. No, no, no.

[Ryan]

I haven't worn these yet. I was wearing the apex ones that Jared has.

[Miles]

Jared has.

[Ryan]

I've been wearing those for track for trap league. First week 23 of 25. 22 of 25. Second week. 20 and 20, week three and four. So I'm looking to change things up a little bit with these new tacties.

[Miles]

I mean, you still got to be on top of your. Your league, right?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

You got to be top five.

[Ryan]

I think it's handy. First four weeks handicap too, so I. I screwed.

[Tyler]

So you, you're purposely, you're sandbagging the last couple.

[Ryan]

25. 25. Because I got the tacticals now, so I'm gonna go 25. 25.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, whether you're on the boat, whether you're in the trap, trap league, trap shooting league, or you're just going for a road trip this summer, you got to go to shadyrays.com they have, as you can see from all of us, they have a plethora of. Plethora of shades. And right now you can get 50 off two or more polarized glasses on shadyrays.com. all you got to use is code YBR. Go check it out again. Use code YBR again, 50 off two or more polarized glasses. All right, Jared, what do we got today?

[Jared]

We have another draft.

[Miles]

We have another draft. We've been hammering drafts lately.

[Jared]

I like drafts.

[Miles]

You like drafts? I like drafts.

[Ryan]

NBA drafts coming up.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's always draft season.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

NHL after that and then about, you know, eight months.

[Ryan]

MLB draft is coming up soon.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah. So it's always draft season. We're like Mel Kuiper always working on the draft.

[Ryan]

Yeah, this is a good one too, actually.

[Tyler]

Yeah, this is very good.

[Jared]

The draft is worst text messages to get.

[Miles]

Okay, who goes first? We. I'm. I'm all out of sorts here.

[Jared]

Ryan, you want to go first?

[Ryan]

No, I'm not prepared.

[Miles]

You.

[Jared]

You pick. You pick who goes first.

[Ryan]

Just because I've been working hard lately.

[Tyler]

Yeah,

[Miles]

I mean, okay, but here's the thing. The way you, the way you act about having to work hard makes me feel like I need to acknowledge how hard you're working. Even though you're like, I don't do it for the prince. But then you walk around asking for praise about how hard you've been working.

[Ryan]

No, I don't.

[Miles]

You know, like, I don't come home from a bellied up trip when I've done nine pot, 11 podcasts, two YouTube videos, and six short form videos. Walking around being like, oh, sure was working hard this last week. I wish someone would tell me how hard I was working.

[Tyler]

I kind of think you've done exactly that on this podcast before. Like sad. They're like, I've just did 15.

[Miles]

Well, no, I just wanted to ignore. Acknowledge the, the work that is being done because it goes on. Yeah. But that's mostly to. To warn you guys about that I may have mush brain.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Miles]

That I, you know, that I might be jet lagged.

[Jared]

All don't ask me important questions.

[Miles]

That is true. But I'm not looking for you guys to say like good job. You've never. And you've also never said that.

[Ryan]

That you don't like being told good job.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you don't.

[Ryan]

You get uncomfortable.

[Miles]

I do. I do.

[Tyler]

I'm gonna start saying good job. Thanks for understanding. So you don't get uncomfortable. Yeah, I'm gonna give you a compliment. Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

Do you want me to tell you more how good of a job you're doing? Because I feel like I do. I don't.

[Ryan]

I'm not trying to give that vibe off at all. I think I'm maybe just head down trying to get after it.

[Jared]

I think you just need to take some time off.

[Tyler]

I think you need.

[Miles]

I think. I think you've just had your. Your head too far in a cardboard too long.

[Tyler]

I think you need to get out of.

[Miles]

You come up for air.

[Tyler]

I think you need to go to the lake and just get really drunk by yourself on a tube or something.

[Jared]

Yeah, you need to get drunk.

[Ryan]

Shot.96 on Sunday, by the way, probably didn't help things.

[Jared]

That's terrible.

[Miles]

Also that's Tyler's worst nightmare. He doesn't want to hear what you shot. And I was actually. I had golf league yesterday.

[Tyler]

You did tell me earlier today.

[Miles]

I was like, tyler, kudos to you for bringing that up job. I was this close to talking about what how golf league went yesterday and I decided not to because I said Tyler doesn't give a fuck.

[Tyler]

Thank you.

[Miles]

It was easy as that.

[Jared]

That I told him what my lunch was.

[Tyler]

You did tell me a story from golf league and I enjoyed that story.

[Miles]

Yes. Yeah, I actually I had. I was. There was a turning point, a fork stuck in the road and time grabbed me by the wrist and directed me where to go and that I could have told him how well I did. We did win, by the way. Or I could tell him this funny story and I told him the funny story.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it was a good story.

[Ryan]

I walked past year today and I was it today or yesterday. His lunch actually looked really good and I don't. I didn't know where it was from. So instead of asking him what he was eating for lunch. I asked him where he got it.

[Miles]

Is that better, Jared, or still terrible?

[Jared]

I'm fine with it.

[Ryan]

And then he proceeded to tell me what it was, and I said, stop. I said, I'm gonna stop you right there, didn't I?

[Tyler]

To your own question.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna stop you right there. I don't want to know it. I don't want to know what it is. I'm gonna stop you right there.

[Jared]

I think he says something. You keep eating or something.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you keep eating.

[Miles]

Me stop.

[Ryan]

I'm stopping right there.

[Tyler]

You keep eating.

[Ryan]

I don't want to. I don't care what it is.

[Miles]

And also now I am so paranoid about asking Jared where people are because he was bitching about it that one time that I have. There's been multiple times now, I think, since then, I haven't asked you where someone is.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's gonna be a lot easier.

[Ryan]

I.

[Miles]

More so just walk around frowning, kind of looking in stuff, going like, God, where is Ryan?

[Tyler]

Just ask it to the vo.

[Miles]

You do know where Ryan is. You'll tell me. If you don't, you'll just keep working.

[Jared]

It'll be a lot easier now.

[Tyler]

It's going to be way easier to find Ryan.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

In this. In the new office, 100%.

[Ryan]

I'm pumped about that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

His head's going to be in a cardboard box for the next couple months.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's fine.

[Tyler]

Not next week, though. You take that week off.

[Ryan]

Nope.

[Jared]

You take time.

[Tyler]

You. You should.

[Miles]

So that being said, you've been working hard lately, and so you get to pick who goes first.

[Tyler]

What a reward.

[Ryan]

It's like a reward. I'm gonna have Jared go first.

[Tyler]

Oh, nice.

[Jared]

Do you want to go clockwise or counterclockwise?

[Ryan]

Let's go counter.

[Tyler]

That's close.

[Ryan]

All right, clockwise.

[Jared]

Get. Somebody's after me.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

All right. All right. Worst text to get.

[Ryan]

Snake draft.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Jared]

This is a good 1k

[Miles]

simple period or.

[Jared]

No, no period.

[Miles]

Just K Lowercase or uppercase?

[Jared]

Uppercase.

[Miles]

Uppercase is infinitely worse than lowercase K for some reason.

[Ryan]

What if it's a capital K followed by a lowercase K?

[Tyler]

Better.

[Jared]

That's better.

[Miles]

What?

[Ryan]

I would agree.

[Miles]

Three K's in a row could be worse than one.

[Jared]

That number.

[Miles]

Yeah. Block them. I agree.

[Jared]

Just the right answer.

[Miles]

That is the right answer. You passed the test, Jared. That was the test. So just 1k.

[Jared]

1k.

[Miles]

Yeah. I think I'm gonna take. For my first worst text to get is my wife texting me. Just call me. Oh, I took by because I know something didn't go well.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

It could be something's broke on the house. Could be that my kid's bleeding. It could be that. But then it also could just be like, what do you want for dinner tonight?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah, you know, or like, what? Oh, I was wondering about what your schedule is on Friday. You know, but there's always the chance that it's something bad, and I hate that. That it's not good.

[Ryan]

I.

[Miles]

If you pair that with a missed call already.

[Ryan]

Yeah, see, I. I was going to say when some. When anybody texts, give me a. Give me a call when you have a chance.

[Tyler]

That's because then if they're. That was exactly mine too. Because if they say when you have a chance or when you have time, it means they're being considerate of your feelings, which means it's going to be bad news.

[Miles]

Oh, see, I don't. I don't have that tape.

[Ryan]

Not necessarily bad news. It was more so just like, God, now I have to call them back.

[Miles]

So my, My head is, is like, oh, I got time to call him back.

[Tyler]

Sure, yeah, if. So if my dad.

[Miles]

Because then they could just go. If they go like, oh, you forgot to call me, you can just say, I haven't had a chance.

[Ryan]

And that's true. That's true. Thanks for understanding.

[Miles]

Thanks for understand. I haven't had a chance. Thanks for understanding.

[Jared]

Best text to get is next Friday.

[Tyler]

Because, like, if my dad just texts me, call me, then I know it's going to be something short, easy, whatever. But if he's like, call me when you get a chance.

[Miles]

I'm like, oh, the sender does matter.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

My father in law, he'll just text me. He'll just text me.

[Tyler]

Call. Sure.

[Ryan]

Sweet.

[Miles]

To the point. I know there's more words when few words do trick.

[Ryan]

Because why say call me? Like, of course I would call you. You're the one saying the text, you know, call. That's an inside joke that not many of you understand.

[Miles]

You guys wouldn't get it. You guys don't know it.

[Jared]

I got it.

[Miles]

I think we told that bit on the podcast at some point.

[Ryan]

Yeah, probably.

[Tyler]

Maybe.

[Miles]

Maybe Patreon. They all blend together.

[Ryan]

Worst text to get.

[Miles]

So that's. You drafted that already? Nope.

[Ryan]

No, I think it was too, Too. I think it was too close to yours.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm with you. I was going to take it off the table for myself too.

[Miles]

Oh, you were saying? That's what you were going to say.

[Ryan]

That's what I was going to say.

[Miles]

Good Loophole though.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Get the vibe of the room. If no one likes it. That's what I wasn't going to draft.

[Tyler]

I was just. Yeah, I'm just talking, you know, like,

[Miles]

that's actually like right off the top. Like that's smart for the draft for like the NFL draft. What, like what they should do is like tweet out who they're gonna pick. So it's not official pick, right? Yeah. We're going to pick this person right at the. When the clock starts and then they use the, the how people respond to that on who they're going to pick from that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

To appease the fans.

[Ryan]

That's actually a good point. Point.

[Jared]

You know that kind of does happen with like contract negotiations with free agency

[Ryan]

because like, I mean the Giants would. I mean they'd have been cold on Daniel Jones when they drafted him had they sent the tweet out earlier. People hated that draft pick.

[Tyler]

He won him a playoff game against the Vikings.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna take, I'm just gonna take ETA question mark.

[Tyler]

Really?

[Jared]

Literally.

[Ryan]

And that's because now that's your number one worst. No, but I think I can get. I. No, it's. Well, you guys took my top 10.

[Jared]

You should have felt that out in the room before you said it.

[Ryan]

I'm gonna take. Here's why I'm taking ETA question mark. Because now I have to provide a. I have to provide a time of when I'm gonna be back. It's now not open ended anymore. So hey, if I want to stop in the clubhouse and have a. Absolutely pummel some brewskis now I can't because I don't know how long that that scenario is going to go on for.

[Miles]

So here's the thing. I'm only texting ETA? When the person's already late and it's now causing me issues. Sure. Like, like if j. If I'm like, hey Jared, come over for dinner. And I was like, yeah, just be there around 6 and like I'm not asking if he's like, hey, I'm not going to text him and go ETA question mark mark. But if it gets to be 7:15 and he's not showing up, then I'm firing off ETA, question mark for him

[Tyler]

to know, are you.

[Miles]

So it's basically where the are you? And I do think. I think it's worse to get like. It is what Terrible one to get.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

In that sense. Because if you, if you look at it like this is definitely like where the Are you.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. For sure.

[Tyler]

Yeah, me. Yep.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Okay. Actually, you traded your first round.

[Miles]

I don't know. This is first time in front of the lights. Thanks for understanding.

[Tyler]

Yes. You guys aren't there yet, but you will be soon. When your kid goes to school, they'll have some sort of messaging system. And when your wife texts you, did you see the message from seesaw or whatever you guys end up using? Did you see the message from. And then your heart drops like, what did my fucking kid do? What is happening today?

[Miles]

And then have you seen the video where the parents are celebrating me because their kid got bit and they weren't the ones that did?

[Tyler]

Yeah. If. If it's. That's crazy. If it's. Charlie got hurt by another kid, I'm like, fucking thank God he didn't punch anybody.

[Miles]

But also, fuck that other kid.

[Tyler]

Yeah. But it's. It's off my ass. And then my next one is be something along the lines from my wife. Did you remember to blank? Because I definitely didn't remember to do you blank.

[Ryan]

No. And speaking of taking the chicken out thaw, my dad, he brought over like this tote of like hamburger packages and roasts and like that. When we were transferring them from one tote to another one so I could bring them downstairs. We might. We must have just dropped one underneath of my kids trampoline. And this was five days ago. And I just know this morning.

[Jared]

Oh, no.

[Ryan]

So that's Chuck roast. Roast. I had to throw it away. That's good. Chuck roast too.

[Tyler]

Raccoon bait.

[Ryan]

Anyway,

[Tyler]

that was. I did mine.

[Ryan]

Okay, I'm gonna go with. Hey, remember, the kids don't have daycare this Friday.

[Miles]

Very specific.

[Tyler]

No, that. That was gonna go.

[Miles]

I think you could have got that one last. You could have got that one.

[Ryan]

Wow. I sent the. I sent the.

[Miles]

Preach the pre.

[Ryan]

What are we calling the tweet at the pre. Tweet.

[Miles]

Sweet. That was just a feeling.

[Tyler]

The VI gauge. You all smart.

[Ryan]

What do you guys think about that one?

[Tyler]

Dig another pig. You've been working hard.

[Miles]

Take another one, take a check swing and then, you know, regroup.

[Ryan]

Check swing, but accidentally hit it a pitcher foul ball. Anyway here. The reason I'm taking it is

[Tyler]

in

[Ryan]

this situation, I've probably already had most of the day, most of Friday planned out. Out in terms of like, hey, maybe I'll golf in the morning. Do this. Kids don't have daycare. Okay, well, if we. If we get a babysitter, I'm not just gonna be at home with the babysitter, you know, If I'm mowing lawn or like that. So, yeah, I can. I can. I can crush some Friday plans pretty quick. I love hanging out with my kids. But when I. When I. Don't get me wrong, thanks for understanding. But when you have full day plan, it's like, oh, all right now.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's tough.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, I probably got that a throne.

[Miles]

No, that's fine. So this is my second pick in the draft.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Miles]

I think that one of the worst test texts to get is, sorry your grandpa died. And you don't know that your grandpa died already.

[Jared]

Oh, that is bad.

[Miles]

Yeah, that happened to me. I was doing an event, and then Ann texted me me. My mom said, call me after. So I kind of knew. But then I yelled on my phone. I'm like, really? And I think you should have called me and not just texted me that my grandpa died.

[Jared]

Spoiler alert.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So if this draft is real, that's definitely one of the worst tech texts to get.

[Tyler]

So did she put thanks for understanding to soften?

[Miles]

She did not. It didn't soften it at all.

[Ryan]

She, like, direct, like, DM'd you on Twitter. Hey, sorry your grandpa died.

[Tyler]

Hey, we're married. But here's a DM to Twitter. Sorry about grandpa.

[Ryan]

And I'm not laughing at the fact that your grandpa passed away. I'm laughing at and texting you about it instead of calling.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So wasn't she at the.

[Miles]

If I'm taking this draft seriously. That's up there.

[Tyler]

Okay. Follow that up, Jared.

[Jared]

I get two. Who's this? That's a bad text to get. What do you, like, do a long text message to a number you're not quite sure of of. And then they text back, who's this?

[Tyler]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Ryan]

I always. I always lay my full name, Social Security number, all that out just so that I never get that text.

[Miles]

That is true. I am always saying, like, hey, this is miles from this person. And if it's like, so and so gave me your number, so they get all the information. You're just raw dogging numbers. You don't know. Oh, you're just like, hey, what's up?

[Jared]

I'll be like, yeah, this is Jared. And that's it. And then. Yeah.

[Miles]

And they go, who is this? And you just go, this is Jared.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah,

[Jared]

not good.

[Miles]

Not good. But I. I know what you're talking about. Just even. Who's this? Right.

[Jared]

Next one is, I don't know if this is similar. When you coming home. Is that similar to the eta?

[Miles]

It's different.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

That's coming from your wife.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. More than likely, right?

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

I'm not nest. I'm not texting an necessarily eta.

[Tyler]

Hey.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

But yeah, you can. That counts.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

You can have it.

[Miles]

This is not one that I'm picking,

[Ryan]

but one thing you're feeling.

[Tyler]

Are you sure?

[Miles]

It's what I'm actually not feeling. I just. It's an honorable mention, you know, agency. And it's not one I pick because it's not very relatable when I'm on the road and an started texting me about how my kid isn't going to sleep and she's getting frustrated kid. It's the worst because there's nothing I can do.

[Tyler]

Right.

[Ryan]

I got that this last weekend.

[Miles]

That sucks.

[Ryan]

It very much so.

[Miles]

And then on the other side of the spectrum, when I'm putting him to bed and she's gone, I'm like, if he's not going to bed, I don't want to text her.

[Tyler]

You don't want her. You don't have time to text.

[Ryan]

You're trying to get your kid to bed.

[Miles]

Well, that, but. Well, that I agree. But it's also like, I don't want her to feel what I feel when she texts.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I'm sparing her the emotional baggage.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

That sucks. Because then what do you say? Like, damn, that sucks.

[Ryan]

I think that was the first what I led with right away because like,

[Tyler]

the feeling is, damn, that sucks. But what do you want me to do about it? Like, if I could help you, I would, but I can't.

[Ryan]

Yeah. The good ones to lead with is, damn, that sucks.

[Miles]

Geez.

[Ryan]

Like something after that.

[Tyler]

I'm sorry that's happening.

[Miles]

Yeah. And it's like, you can't be like, well, did you try this? Because then she's gonna like, yes, of course I did.

[Jared]

Haha. Damn.

[Miles]

Yeah, that sucks, dog. That actually sucks a lot.

[Tyler]

You ever try putting whiskey on their pacifier? I can give that a shot.

[Miles]

Rubbing some rum on their guns.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you should take that one. That's a solid pick.

[Miles]

All right, I'll take it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Pass the poop test.

[Miles]

I picked that one.

[Ryan]

Can I. Can I do two in a row? Since I got. At least leave.

[Tyler]

Go for it. You've been working hard.

[Miles]

You've been working hard. You earned this.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

Appreciate that I'm gonna be able to do that. You have to go like this instead.

[Ryan]

Let's see. Third pick. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go with. We gotta get together sometime.

[Miles]

Yeah, you're never getting together.

[Ryan]

No, we're not getting together. Well, and I gotta respond to that.

[Jared]

Yeah, for sure, man.

[Tyler]

That's the answer.

[Miles]

Yeah. Just let me know when you're available.

[Ryan]

Give me your event.

[Miles]

Give me your avails.

[Ryan]

I'll share my calendar with you. I'll share my Google calendar with you.

[Miles]

Just send me over a g invite.

[Tyler]

It's honestly about cal invite.

[Ryan]

Yeah, G cow.

[Tyler]

A halfway is decent.

[Miles]

A gin bite. That sounds derogatory in some sense, doesn't it?

[Jared]

Kinda sounds like you're getting up on gin.

[Tyler]

Yeah, like a gin is a genie.

[Miles]

Send me a g. A g vite.

[Tyler]

That sounds like a bug.

[Ryan]

Yeah, sounds like gingivitis.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah, it does suck.

[Tyler]

Is it a movie? You should have just like a separate gmail and then just fill that fucking calendar up with random non Non real things.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And then be like, hey man, this is my calendar. I'm booked.

[Miles]

I'm sorry, Ryan. Sheely01gmail.com and just pump it full of reoccurring busy blocks, juggling practice.

[Ryan]

It just has to say busy. Yeah, yeah. Y mowing call.

[Tyler]

You know, call with Tim, call with Jim.

[Ryan]

Lot of calls.

[Miles]

Call with Kim.

[Tyler]

Y.

[Ryan]

Head in box all month.

[Tyler]

Head in sand.

[Ryan]

All right. My fourth and final pick. Hey, man, not going to be able to make the tea time. Oh, and we're talking like within 24 hours. Yeah, if you give me at least a 48 hour notice. Totally fine. I get it. Life happens. But I've had this happen like night before an early morning tea time lady

[Jared]

texted back, gee, we should get together sometime.

[Miles]

When's your next avail? Send over a invite.

[Ryan]

Oh, we can, we can. Yeah, let's circle back on this next week. I'll send you an invite. Fight. Send you gcal.

[Jared]

Damn, that sucks.

[Ryan]

Damn. Oh gosh.

[Miles]

That.

[Ryan]

It's kind of like the. The. The wife at home with the kids. Struggling with kids. Oh, shoot. Dang it.

[Tyler]

That blows, bro.

[Ryan]

But also you're an for doing that.

[Tyler]

Now I gotta think about it.

[Ryan]

And now I gotta cancel. I'll get charged for it. So I'm gonna ven venmo request you 100 bucks.

[Jared]

Was 50, but I need 100.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Inconvenience fee. Anyway, that's my draft.

[Miles]

Yeah. Good job, Ryan.

[Jared]

Thanks, Ryan.

[Ryan]

I'm headed out.

[Miles]

Yeah, well, no, we got stuff to do tomorrow.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'll be here tomorrow.

[Miles]

Take Friday off. Yeah, you. Dude, this whole time. I know, but this whole time you're bitching about working hard yard and you don't even work Fridays,

[Jared]

different job at home mowing lawns.

[Tyler]

You said, is he moonlighting as a lawnmower?

[Miles]

I don't know what he's doing.

[Tyler]

Me either.

[Miles]

I sometimes

[Jared]

fresh wash his driveway.

[Miles]

He said he's gotta go, but now he's just in the bathroom yelling, go ahead, Tyler. You're up next.

[Tyler]

All right, next pick. I had a really good one, and I lost it after the Ryan shenanigans. Oh, I got it. I got it. You got a truck, right?

[Jared]

Oh, good one.

[Tyler]

I'm about to get roped into helping somebody move.

[Miles]

Yes.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And so for your. What's your final one?

[Tyler]

It'd probably be from miles. It'd be like, why is the po. A post like this?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And I'm like, I don't know. I didn't even look. Why is it like that? I don't know. And then your heart drops and it's like, oh, okay.

[Miles]

And I've been trying to find a way to get stuff fixed like that without making it seem like I'm mad and. Or think it's the most urgent thing. Unless, like, if it is urgent, I'll try and say that. But there's stuff where it's like, oh, why did the banner. Why did we choose that banner? I'm not. It's really tough to send out a text like that, right?

[Tyler]

It's like key and feel and not sound like, this is the worst banner I've ever seen, you dumbass.

[Miles]

No, it's just like a mis. Because it's usually like, oh, I thought we were doing this other one. Can you just inform me how we got to. That is what I want it to say, but it. What it says actually is you guys are morons for doing. This is how it comes off. And there's no good way to do that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah. It's the Key and peel skit. Have you seen that? That.

[Miles]

Yeah. Where, like, you. How you. How you say it versus how it is. It's like.

[Jared]

It's exactly like that.

[Miles]

You know, I said it. I'm like, I thought we were. I thought we were going with a different banner than this. And Tyree is like, hey, Stick.

[Tyler]

Yeah?

[Miles]

You suck. Why'd you do that banner? So I. Yeah, I get that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Is this my fourth and final. My fourth and final draft pick is a. Just, just, just. Any text from my door dash driver? Oh, because if your door dash driver's texting you, that means something's not going right.

[Tyler]

They never text you. Be like, hey, thanks for picking me.

[Miles]

Yeah. They never go like, Hey, I would have ordered the same thing, man. You got great taste buds. It's always like they lost your order or I'm at the restaurant and your ain't ready yet. It's always something like that. That. And so if I'm getting a text from that, it's never good.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's never like the roads are perfect, there's no traffic.

[Miles]

If we got a flawless pickup and delivery, you're getting no texts. And yeah, every once in a while though, there is an over communicating doordash driver. And I actually don't like that.

[Jared]

It's too much.

[Miles]

They think that they're giving you peace of mind of being like, hey, I got your order, I'm on my way. It's like, well, I know that because I've been following. I've been following your location on the map, following your little car the whole time. I know that.

[Tyler]

You should just text back. I know. I'm tracking you.

[Jared]

Yeah, I. This app right now.

[Tyler]

I haven't. Since you accepted the order.

[Miles]

I haven't blinked since you accepted the order.

[Jared]

I have satellites tracking you. Right.

[Tyler]

I casted your order to the tv. My whole family.

[Miles]

I already ran your plates and know everything about you. Just. Just put the fries in on my front doorstep.

[Tyler]

Be careful coming down 42nd. I see you got a ticket there once.

[Miles]

The best doordash driver is what? They don't say anything.

[Jared]

The one you forgot about.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, but. So that's mine.

[Jared]

Last pick. Let's see. I got two. I like, I kind of want to feel them out.

[Miles]

Well, yeah, just. Which one were you maybe gonna choose?

[Jared]

I was gonna say, could you grab this?

[Miles]

And who's that from?

[Jared]

My wife.

[Miles]

Yeah, from like the store. You mean on the way home?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I don't mind that. I. Is it weird that I feel useful in those scenarios?

[Jared]

Was.

[Tyler]

No, I think that's fine because I've. My wife texts me stuff, picks stuff up on my drive home, and I have a long drive home, so I always forget. So the times I do remember, I feel like I'm. I'm a chill.

[Miles]

Very useful. If my wife's like, hey, swing by Walmart and grab this.

[Jared]

I think what, what hurts the most is that like she'll already be at the store and then text me that like half hour later, like, you go, she forgot something.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

That sucks.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

Sucks.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Let's maybe hear your other one.

[Jared]

Just a simple. You suck.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Who's texting that to you?

[Jared]

I don't think I've ever Got. Yeah, that would. That would hurt.

[Miles]

Unless it's like, when. When you and your wife first started dating, she's like, you suck. That's awesome. Text to get. Yeah.

[Jared]

So kind of debate.

[Miles]

Save that one for. For awesome text to get draft.

[Jared]

You suck. So do you. Yeah.

[Miles]

All right, so mine was. I don't even remember what my first pick was. Do you guys remember?

[Jared]

I remember.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It was the. Call me.

[Miles]

Call me. Your grandpa died. You took it serious. It sucks. I took it there. Hey, literal. He won't fall asleep deep. Doordash and doordash. I feel pretty good about that lineup.

[Tyler]

I don't remember Ryan's.

[Miles]

Yeah, when you dip out early, you know, get. You know, get a recap.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Tyler]

I had. Did you see the message from school? Did you remember to blank? You got a truck, right? And Miles, why is this like this?

[Miles]

That's true. I do. I'll switch it up next time.

[Tyler]

It's like 90% of the time, it ends up being nothing, but it's just my heart drops.

[Miles]

I'm like, why did I up.

[Jared]

Maybe use a few emojis,

[Miles]

do the

[Tyler]

silly face emoji, then I'll know it's chill.

[Jared]

But when somebody's angry, they never use emojis, so I think that would diffuse it a little bit.

[Tyler]

So Miles doesn't use emojis ever, really? I don't think so, though.

[Miles]

I don't know. I use laughing, crying face a lot.

[Jared]

Why is it better like this?

[Miles]

Which I found out is very millennial of me? Gen Z apparently does not use emojis at all. That they. Like. I've seen tik Tok videos of, like, when, you know, you're texting a millennial, and it's like they use a bunch of emojis and lol and. And Gen Z doesn't use any emojis, and they. Instead, they just type out, like, dead instead of like, I'm dying.

[Tyler]

The last time you texted me an emoji was January 31st of this year. Yeah, and we text a lot.

[Miles]

And what was it? Not appropriate.

[Tyler]

It's four laughing, crying face emojis with a text message.

[Miles]

Yeah, see? Man of my word. Man of my word.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you. We. Yeah, we don't ever. I. The only time I've ever sent you one was yesterday.

[Miles]

You sent Jared emojis.

[Tyler]

Jared and I don't text a lot.

[Jared]

We don't talk.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Outside of this, we're kind of enemies.

[Miles]

I've also started to put those. Why is this, like this? Messages in. In a Slap slack group message to know that I'm not singling out one person. And for you guys to be a group problem solver instead of me texting you Tyler and you feeling like it's your fault.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's spread the blame out slice of the pie.

[Miles]

You got a fun fact for us, Jared?

[Jared]

Yeah, I didn't have time to research. Venus spins backwards. Unlike most planets in our solar system, Venus rotates on its axis and a retrograde motion, meaning the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

[Tyler]

That's kind of neat.

[Miles]

That is weird. Completely inhabitable. So we'll never know what that's like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, a lot of carbon dioxide. Astroph.

[Miles]

Hot too.

[Tyler]

Astrophage needs it to reproduce.

[Miles]

You guys wouldn't know that.

[Jared]

I don't know that one.

[Miles]

From Project Hail Mary.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Oh, spoiler alert.

[Tyler]

I watched the movie recently.

[Miles]

Should I watch it? I was gonna watch it. I forgot.

[Tyler]

They did a good job.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Tyler]

They adapted it.

[Miles]

Well, I'm very lukewarm on that book.

[Tyler]

I liked it a lot. I'm not giving it a 10, but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole.

[Miles]

Yeah. Like, as I read it in bed, I just didn't get rock hard, which

[Tyler]

is wild because it's about space.

[Jared]

I know.

[Miles]

I did pick up the Expanse series again.

[Tyler]

Again. Did you?

[Miles]

I'm into it. I'm back into it.

[Tyler]

We can do book club with. With Ryan.

[Miles]

Go Ryan.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Right. At this point, he would have done something insane. Temper t. He would throw in a temper.

[Tyler]

The table would have been flipped.

[Miles]

He just. He just want space. That's what he done. Something like that. You guys want to read? Like.

[Jared]

You guys want to talk about something cool? You'd see us up like that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

He goes, oh, why don't we talk about something cool like Jocko and David Gon.

[Tyler]

Or. He would have tried to, like, relate, but as a smart ass, like, oh, yeah, I really like Project no Marys.

[Jared]

He's been working a lot. Give him a break.

[Tyler]

He's been working a lot in the

[Miles]

cardboard box for month.

[Tyler]

I'm in his chair.

[Jared]

He was super tense at the beginning.

[Tyler]

He was. I made a joke to try and cut the tension. After he. He.

[Jared]

He.

[Tyler]

After he found out he doesn't get this chair. I'm like, we can hold hands now. And he's like, no, that didn't help. I thought maybe he, like, get a half a chuckle because obviously I'm not serious.

[Jared]

Or half a chub.

[Tyler]

Yeah, maybe that was it. He was scared of the sexual tension.

[Miles]

Now I. I will have to say the amount of stuff he's either sold and or gotten rid of over the last six months has been a lot.

[Tyler]

It's astounding the amount of things he's slowing on Facebook. Marketplace.

[Miles]

But as we phased out the merchandise, that was just kind of its job.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

So. But now I. Once we get everything unpacked, you can

[Tyler]

finally get rid of it.

[Miles]

He's gonna be chilling. He's gonna be leaving at 3:30. It's no use for me.

[Tyler]

I'm just kidding, Ryan. You're. You're a life.

[Miles]

Or. No, he'll. But the thing is, is then he'll just find something else to be really busy about and then do the same thing. You know what I mean?

[Jared]

He's just burnt out. He just needs to take time off.

[Tyler]

He needs a single day to just do nothing. Not go home and do chores. Ryan. Just nothing.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I don't know if he's capable of doing that though.

[Miles]

We'll see.

[Jared]

We'll see. Table tell.

[Miles]

I've. I've been very. I, I've. I'm trying to be as accommodating as possible. Said take your time off.

[Tyler]

Off.

[Miles]

You done. You ran the. You ran the race. You fought the good fight.

[Tyler]

Whatever.

[Miles]

The do your time. Buy. I don't know, just take some time off. All right, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet your Radio. Have a great week and we'll see you in the next one.

[Ryan]

You betcha.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Thailand. What instrument would be the coolest to be really good at? Harmonica, saxophone or piano?

[Miles]

I just. Saxophone is cool, but kind of everything around saxophoning is tough. Like. Like carrying a saxophone case around.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And like taking it out and putting the thing around your neck.

[Ryan]

I don't know. Yeah.

[Miles]

Like, harmonica and piano are definitely cooler, but there's less people who are really good at saxophone.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know what I mean?

[Ryan]

And you can rip on a saxophone too, if you're good.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Like, I remember in high school, there was a kid in the band who was playing saxophone and he was actually like really good. And it was cool when he was playing. But then after the fact, just standing there with your saxophone, you look kind of like a dweeb.

[Jared]

He never got laid.

[Miles]

No. Yeah. It was. You just. He's looked dweeby standing there with the saxophone, but while you're playing it. It's sick.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Harmonica is. I feel like there's a. There's a low ceiling and a high floor with harmonica.

[Jared]

I completely agree with that.

[Miles]

If you got it if you got basic harmonica skills, it's going to be not that much different than someone who's an expert at a harmonica feel like it's like there's not a lot of nuance. But piano, if you're really good at piano. The problem with piano though is if you're really good at piano, everyone just thinks you're autistic or deaf like Beethoven or whatever.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So like harmonica is definitely like. I'm. I'm like the cool cowboy guy who can play harmonica really well.

[Jared]

Well.

[Miles]

And you can just always have it in your pocket.

[Jared]

Can have a piano in your pocket.

[Miles]

Saxophone is definitely. You can wow the crowd the most with it because it. You get some big notes on that thing. Especially if you hold a Note for like 20 seconds. Crowd goes nuts. Piano is really cool. Lot of technical skills.

[Tyler]

You can.

[Miles]

There's a high ceiling for it. But then you just run the risk of people thinking that you're autistic. Yeah. Or blind.

[Jared]

Yeah. Ray Charles.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

So I think at the end of the day though, I think I will choose saxophone. Just nerdy and like, I think I. I think I'd choose piano. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think I would choose harmonica because

[Miles]

it would be sick to just like go to when the airport's got a piano. Just like walk up to it and just be able to play a diddy.

[Jared]

Yeah. Cuz like with harmonica and saxophone you need your own harmonica and. Or saxophone.

[Miles]

Piano are just laying around.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

Low barrier to entry though. With harmonica it's for sure. But I.

[Miles]

That's why there's a low ceiling though.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't. It doesn't make it as like.

[Miles]

I mean, Tyler can play the harmonica. Just. I can't choose that. But I. I'll go piano. It would be sick.

[Ryan]

I think, I think I gotta go harmonica. I think piano is sweet. It. Let's like if you're a single guy. I don't know why I feel like chicks love when a guy can show them they can play the piano.

[Miles]

Wait, wait, what?

[Ryan]

Chicks love when a guy can. Will show them that they can play the piano.

[Miles]

I thought you said harmonica. Nope.

[Ryan]

I said. I'm pretty sure I said I think piano is.

[Miles]

Was.

[Ryan]

Would be great for a single guy.

[Miles]

I thought you said harmonica.

[Ryan]

I would take the harmonica.

[Jared]

You might have said harmonica, but you might.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

That's why I was laughing because I was like, I don't think chicks are like, God, that dude can play the harmonica.

[Ryan]

I'm sorry.

[Miles]

So wet.

[Ryan]

Right. If I did say that, I meant, I meant p.m. okay. Okay.

[Miles]

Yeah. I think piano is definitely the most attractive to women out of those.

[Ryan]

Agreed. Yeah. In terms of vibe wise, though, like around. Being around a campfire with a harmonica. And if you're good, I also feel like you can rip notes on a harmonica.

[Jared]

You can.

[Ryan]

I don't think you can take what Tyler did. I don't, I don't think we can take that too seriously because it wasn't that good.

[Miles]

I know, I know. But an expert isn't that much better than Tyler is. What I'm trying to say

[Jared]

between, like. Yeah, and if you compare that to like an average piano player and an expert, it's much different.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, okay, here's a great example.

[Miles]

Example. There's no talent shows where guys are getting up there and playing the harmonica.

[Jared]

But if, and if they are, they're playing another instrument with them.

[Miles]

Well, they're playing harmonica. It's always a supplemental device.

[Ryan]

See? But a harmonica with a, with a, with a neck mount, that's, that's like I'm gonna, I'll push you over into a snowbank.

[Miles]

Oh, you're saying that's nerdy. Yeah. What if you're playing the guitar and,

[Jared]

and the drum with your foot?

[Miles]

Yeah, I, I, that's fine.

[Ryan]

That's fine.

[Jared]

That's where the neck thing comes in.

[Miles]

But the neck thing is only because you're doing something else. No one's just playing the harmonica with. Only they're not.

[Ryan]

What if you're trying to stoke the fire up or something? Or pour another drink. You might have the neck mount on.

[Miles]

It's crazy, Ryan. That's crazy.

[Ryan]

What if you need your hands like beatboxers need their hands in order to hit certain notes? Could be the same for harmony. Anyway. If I personally had to choose, I would, I would choose a harmonica, but I, I understand why other people wouldn't.
