Miles
Welcome back to you Beta Radio podcast. The coldest podcast in all the Midwest. I'm Miles, you beta guy here with Ryan the T shirt guy.
Ryan
Hello.
Miles
We're live. We're back.
Jared
We are back.
Miles
We're back, fellas. How are you?
Jared
We're good, really good, doing well.
Ryan
You guys haven't been around lately.
Miles
Yeah, I mean, I was in Nashville for a week and then yesterday, which would have been a Monday, I woke up at like 6am and at first it seems like Miles woke up at 6am Because Katy Perry and her friends are going to space.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
Miles
But it turns out that wasn't. That wasn't the reason why I asked.
Jared
Jared, like, did I see Katy Perry.
Tyler
Go to space his body clock?
Miles
I almost did, but instead I woke up violently, throwing up.
Jared
Can you paint the picture for me here? Did you wake up and like, shake and awake and say, I think I'm going to throw up?
Miles
No, I had to run to the bathroom.
Jared
That's sad.
Miles
Yeah, it was tough. It was kind of weird. Maybe I just subliminally subconsciously knew something was going to happen. So my kids toys were all over the floor of our bedroom. And the night before, I like, made a joke to Anne. I'm like, I got to slide these out of the way in case I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. And I moved the stuff out of the way.
Jared
Why is that a joke?
Miles
She's like. She's like, you don't ever wake up to pee. Like, why is that even a funny joke? And I was like, I don't know.
Ryan
But it is the world working.
Miles
And then I woke up and had to run to the bathroom and I didn't trip on anything.
Ryan
Huh, that's trippy. Imagine if you would have stepped on like a car or something, just freaking Lego.
Jared
H H and threw up on the carpet.
Miles
Oh, my God.
Ryan
Hopefully just get it on the tile on the bathroom and just deal with it later.
Jared
He's got a bloody nose and he's projectile vomiting.
Miles
Yep. So I threw up a few times yesterday morning. Out of commission the entire day. I got. I'm pretty sure I got bed sores laying in bed. I was just laying there for so long. 12 hours after I woke up. No, I just. It was just leave me alone.
Ryan
Well, not much she can really give you at that point. It's not like, yeah, because I tried.
Miles
To drink stuff and then I would just throw up again. So I was just basically like, all right, this is. God gives his toughest battles to his Strongest soldiers.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
And that's what I had to endure yesterday. Now, I did have a. So if you're wondering today, this is a flu game performance, I shouldn't be here right now, but I am.
Jared
How does that make you feel, Ryan?
Ryan
About what?
Jared
Just sitting right next to patient zero?
Ryan
Yeah, I. I mean, I've been thinking about that.
Miles
However, I did Google it, and once. If you got 24 hours since you last threw up, you're pretty good. So I threw up about 30 hours ago.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
I think we're in the clear. Yeah.
Miles
So we're. We're good there. I've been trying not to touch Ryan, you know, usually trying. Usually before a podcast, we do like a hug it out, you know?
Ryan
Yeah. Getting the right. Getting the right couple.
Jared
A couple ass slaps.
Miles
Yeah. None of that today.
Jared
Okay.
Miles
But I was thinking last night as I was laying in bed unable to move, I don't think people understand the true greatness that was the Jordan flu game.
Ryan
I agree.
Miles
I was thinking in bed that night, I'm like, what if I had to go play an NBA game right now in Utah? In Utah?
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Drop 38 points.
Jared
What. What if the summer series started today?
Miles
Right. Like, what if I had to go play Ryan right now, one on one? Like, could I even do it?
Tyler
Well, they say when you're sick, you get more concentrated on playing because you're.
Miles
Not worried about all the other stuff, but it's not. It was more so about the fact that I, like, couldn't stand very good. So the fact he had to run up and down a court. Played 44 minutes. Because I did. I was sitting there, I was like, okay, this. That seems impossible. And so I googled, like, what actually happened. And yeah, now he didn't have the flu.
Jared
He had food poison.
Ryan
Yeah, Chinese.
Miles
But I also.
Jared
Pizza.
Ryan
Pizza, Sorry.
Jared
There's a conspiracy theory that the opposing team sent that pizza to him.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
And I will have to say that I did have food poisoning a few years ago when I was on vacation. You guys probably. I. I probably made a big deal out of it.
Tyler
Look at the.
Miles
Probably talked about on the podcast.
Ryan
Down for the count.
Miles
Down for the count. But I was out for like three days. Yeah. So I think food poisoning is worse than just like 24 hour flu anyways. But if I would have had to play, I couldn't play an NBA game in that state. I just. That's just. I just have to tip my hat to Mr. Jordan on being able to do that. I. It's. It's quite amazing that he did that?
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
That's why he's the best.
Jared
Listeners will definitely send this to him. He's gonna see this.
Miles
So, yeah, I'm not even saying this to get on, you know, get his attention. This is. That's just. I.
Jared
But if you do want to come on the pod, Mr. Jordan, that's. You can true.
Miles
Where is he gonna sit? So, yeah, rough, rough couple days. My kid definitely knew something. He was. He was kind of. He just kept looking at me, you know, again, we'll bring him in the room and he'd be like, look at me. Like, what's. What's wrong with you? What's going on?
Ryan
Yeah. How you feeling?
Miles
Why are you doing that? Usually they're tossing me around.
Jared
You're supposed to be making faces, old man.
Miles
Yeah. So, yeah, we had Pedialyte for the first time in a very long time.
Ryan
Solid.
Miles
Pretty good, actually.
Ryan
Really solid.
Miles
It definitely just tastes though, like they melted down a. A Jolly Rancher and kept it in liquid form. Yeah, it's how. Best way I could describe Pedialyte. But so, yeah, it's amazing how when your health comes into question, how little you care about. Do you know what I mean?
Ryan
Anything?
Jared
Like you're surrounded.
Miles
When I texted you guys I wasn't gonna make it in, I was like, you guys, if I never come back to work because I'm so sick, like, I don't even care what happens to the company. Burn the building down. I don't fucking care.
Tyler
I have a tubby ache.
Jared
Yeah, unscheduled.
Miles
It was completely unscheduled. I was just like, well, if they put out a video, that sucks, who cares?
Tyler
Nothing matters.
Miles
I don't care. Nothing matters right now.
Ryan
Did it ever run across your mind, like, why me? Do you ever think about that when you're really sick? Like, why? Like why is this happening to me right now?
Miles
So I've done a lot of self reflection and realized that the world is random. And I just drew the short straw this time.
Ryan
Sure. Yeah, not so much why me? But for me, for me, bent over.
Jared
The toilet bowl, just on your fifth puke of the day, praying be like, I swear I will stop cutting people off in track. You just let me stop throwing up.
Miles
You do reach a point that you are like, why me? This. This time? Did it when I had food poisoning on vacation that one time. That was a why me Situation. I was like. Cuz it was like day three of just being out, down for the count and just being like, why is this happening to me? I'm on vacation. I just had to be in this hotel room. Yeah, well, like. And just like, I think Anne went because. I think I told this because Anne went and got like her ear pierced.
Ryan
Yeah, she went shopping or something.
Miles
Yeah, she just did a whole bunch of. While I was just in the hotel.
Tyler
That could have been you getting your.
Ryan
Yeah. So maybe that's why you were sick because you were. You were actually set to go with your ear pierced.
Jared
Free piercings. Get an earring.
Miles
Yeah, it's true. So, yeah, I. It's amazing that I'm here today, even 30 hours removed from throwing up.
Ryan
How do you feel right now? You still pretty lethargic?
Miles
Yeah, I feel like I'm in a dream state of some sort. You know, I feel like I'm kind of just floating around.
Tyler
You look great, by the way.
Miles
Thank you. Yeah, I did lose a bunch of weight last day or so. It was actually kind of nice post Nashville to get the flu. Then you just lose all the Nashville weight that I gained. The toxins because we ate like pieces of last week.
Ryan
That's okay. That's okay.
Miles
But it's okay. Yeah, I got the toxins out. Yeah, it's. It's kind of like I just get to restart my gut health now. You know, people have been talking a lot about gut health these days. It's nice to just clear it out, start from scratch.
Jared
Way easier for you to do a cleanse of some sort.
Miles
I did a cleanse. Yeah.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Pedialyte cleanse the less, however, so many hours.
Tyler
30 some.
Ryan
Yeah, I mean you can get on like. Everyone talks about like athletic greens and you take that for 30 days, you reset your. Your gut health, whatever. You just get a 24 hour bug.
Jared
Yeah. Good to go.
Ryan
Yeah. Just throw everything.
Tyler
Don't wash your hands.
Ryan
Yeah. Why? Why you need OIC, you just get 24 hour bug. I did hear though, there was a 24 hour bug going around.
Jared
You did? That was the first thing you said. I thought you were doing a bit.
Miles
And thinks I got it from my parents. My parents and my brother and sister in law. They all had the 24 hour bug, so.
Jared
And I was with them this weekend, so an's next.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
That is a big part of getting sick though.
Miles
You.
Tyler
You theorize like who got you sick?
Miles
Yeah, it's like, yeah. Which one of you from you?
Ryan
Yeah, there's kind of a little resentment in. In that too.
Tyler
It's like, like, what's your deal?
Ryan
Yeah. Why. Why'd you. Why?
Miles
You know, it's. Yeah, it's not Where I picked it up randomly, maybe at the airport or something, considering that I'd bite my nails, you know, it was because someone gave it to me.
Tyler
It's a hit.
Miles
So, yeah, I'm here, guys. We're back. Feeling good, fish. Feeling goodish.
Jared
How was smash fell?
Miles
It was good. It was good. I feel like we did it right this time. You know, we went out. We didn't burn the whole place down. We just had some drinks, had some good times, had a lot of laughs. Yeah, we had no hiccups at all.
Tyler
Really.
Miles
Yeah, the only hiccup we had was our first flight out of Fargo got delayed, so we're gonna miss our connecting, so we just had to reroute it.
Tyler
Only hiccup.
Miles
We got in probably what, three hours later than we normally would, but, yeah, smooth sailing.
Ryan
Well, I. I did hear one hiccup. The one of the guys tried to get in first day, bar was locked. No one told him where to go. So then Tyler, back thousands some miles away, had to figure out how to get him in the bar.
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Jared
Who's your guest? Day one again. Regardless, who's the guest on Tuesday?
Tyler
Oh, Dusty Slay.
Jared
Yeah, Dusty Slay called me and he's like, hey, this place is locked. Where do I go in? I called the other guys. They didn't answer. So then I had to talk to Dusty Slay.
Miles
Yeah, you just had to walk around the corner.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
I'm actually kind of jealous. I don't know, it's kind of selfish of you to bring up the laughs that you guys had, because when you guys are gone, we. There really are no laughs around here.
Miles
Well, whose fault is that?
Ryan
I don't know. I'm just. I'm too busy working, so it's like I can't provide the laughs.
Tyler
You could have called me. I would have given you a lot.
Miles
If you'd have called me.
Ryan
I should have called into the show is what I should have done. I should have call in the show, got some good laughs. I'd have got a laugh out of both you and Charlie, I'm sure.
Miles
Yeah, it was a good week. Podcast, though. I feel like the bellied up pod this last run was good.
Tyler
Really good.
Miles
Funny, very hyped for it, so. Yeah, well, there was one flight, though, that we. So we got redirected to a different flight, and all that was left on one of those flights was only middle seats.
Jared
Oh, no.
Miles
So me, Jared, and Jake all had to just ride in the plane.
Tyler
I got lucky, though. Nobody. Oh, yeah, by me.
Miles
Jared got Lucky twice.
Jared
No one's sitting by Jared. He chooses to stay in the middle.
Miles
That would be.
Ryan
Did you see that? And did it cross your mind to be like, hey, Jared.
Miles
Like, no, no, no, no. I didn't see till the very end of the floor.
Ryan
Gotcha.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Good on you to not say a word.
Tyler
I did not taunt at all.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. You threw your backpack on the seat.
Miles
Yes.
Ryan
You'd be like, yeah, a guy went to the bathroom. I think he's gonna be back soon.
Jared
Just save all your talking for landing.
Tyler
Yeah, I'm not gonna say a word.
Miles
No, you earned it, Jared.
Tyler
Appreciate it.
Miles
You earned it. All right, guys, we're back doing prize picks, and right now, if you sign up on prize picks with code YBR, you get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup. You don't need to win the lineup to receive the $50 bonus. It's just guaranteed. And, boys, does it feel good to be back?
Jared
It does.
Miles
It's lineups all weekend on the Masters. Left and right, left and right. I was throwing lineups on the lefty golfers and the righty golfers.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
And the switch golfers.
Miles
Yes. And don't ask me how I did, but I had a great time doing it.
Ryan
Me too.
Miles
You know, on the Masters app, I clicked all my favorite golfers. You know, you can do that and put them all on one scoreboard. I had all people. I had lineups.
Ryan
He's never had the Masters app.
Jared
Never used it, but I learned about it today. Sounds like next year I'll be on it.
Miles
You will be. You will be. And it's a great compliment to the prize picks app. And that's what I was doing all weekend. But this week, we got a little NBA action going on. So, Jared, who do you got first?
Tyler
I got Duncan Robinson. More than 12 and a half points, rebounds, and assists.
Miles
Okay, he should be able to get that. I mean, he. He just needs, like, six points.
Ryan
6.6.
Miles
Rebounds, four rebounds, three assists, and he's got it. Like, it's not that hard.
Tyler
Duncan, cake.
Miles
So that should be easy.
Jared
Tyler, I have Demontes Sabonis. Sabonis, more than.
Miles
Great name.
Jared
Yeah, you're Sabonus. Bucks. Forty and more than forty and a half points, rebounds, and assists more than how many? 40 and a half.
Miles
Oh, I accidentally put 19 and a half.
Jared
Just for points.
Miles
For points.
Tyler
Oh, I'll get that.
Ryan
Yeah, his is gonna hit nars isn't so.
Miles
Yeah, that was a good. That was a complete accident by me.
Ryan
But flu game, game theory. I got. I have Keegan Murray, less than 11.5 points.
Miles
Okay, just don't shoot.
Ryan
Just don't shoot. Just bench him.
Miles
Just be a pass guy.
Jared
Jackie Moon, just be.
Miles
Yeah, Keegan Murray, just be a pass guy this game.
Ryan
Be a team guy.
Miles
Be looking for alley oops and. And all that.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I have Kobe White, more than two and a half turnovers. Okay. It was a red devil. That's what attracted it to me. It to me in the first place. And I just think about how easy it is to turn the ball over.
Tyler
Especially in the NBA.
Miles
Especially in the NBA. A lot of slap happiness going on. Just the. They don't take care of the ball like they used to.
Ryan
No, not like the Jordan.
Miles
So.
Tyler
And Mr. White has the ball a lot, so.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
So I think two and a half. More than two and a half turnovers is a shoe in. No problem. And so that's our lineup, guys. So let's see. Yeah, you. You had him at 40.
Jared
More than 40 and a half points, assists, and rebounds.
Miles
Oh, okay.
Jared
Got it.
Miles
I thought it was just points. I was like, that's a.
Jared
It'd be more than red.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
So, guys, if you want to play along with us, you got to get the prize picks app. Use code YBR. If you post your first $5 lineup, you get $50 instantly, just like that.
Jared
Also, if you guys are playing on your own and you hit. Send us your bet.
Miles
Yeah, we would love to see it. Yeah, let's make this a community thing. You know, we're not out here alone. Yeah.
Ryan
If you're on a heater, send us your slips before.
Jared
Yeah, yeah. They go active ahead of time.
Miles
Send slips.
Tyler
Slip pics.
Ryan
Send us a slip pics.
Miles
Send slip pics. All I want to do is look at slip pics.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
All day long.
Miles
All day, all night. Slip picks. All right, guys, have fun. Got some infomercials today.
Tyler
Yeah, we can start with those. Let me pull it up here.
Ryan
Where do you find these, by the way?
Tyler
On YouTube.
Ryan
On YouTube, you just type. Yeah. Ridiculous information.
Jared
Stays up really late every night just watching infomercials, hoping that he finds a good one.
Ryan
He records it on the 2B or whatever.
Tyler
Yeah, it's the only reason I have cables just for this.
Miles
Yeah, he's got TiVo.
Ryan
TiVo.
Miles
Yeah, he has to download it from TiVo.
Tyler
So I'll show you guys three infomercials and you decide if you'll buy it or not buy it.
Miles
Okay, here's the first one.
Ryan
Buy or no?
E
You want a closer look? But the naked eye can only see so much. Squinting doesn't help. And binoculars are big, bulky and expensive. Introducing Zoomies. The compact hands free high power binoculars you wear like sunglasses Zoomies gives you instant 300% magnification that brings everything up close. Look closer. Zumiez binoculars utilize vision technology similar to binoculars adapted to fit our micro lenses that adjust easily with a turn of the focus dial and magnify up to 300%. With zoomies, you'll enjoy mother nature up close. You'll be so close to the action, you'll feel the excitement. Holding heavy binoculars is tiring on your arms and heavy on your neck. But Zumie's binoculars are so light you'll forget you even have them on. You'll love them for hobbies, arts and crafts, sewing and stitch work. And they turn any TV into a big screen tv. Order now and get this handy neck lanyard and travel storage bag absolutely free. But wait, order now and we'll double the offer and send a second complete set free. Just pay separate processing and handling. That's two complete sets of zoomies binoculars for just $10. See what you've been missing and zoom in on the action with Zoomies.
Miles
So they're just magnified glasses big time. Correct. Right. 1. I do think it is dumb that we like. It is kind of. Binoculars are kind of dumb.
Jared
No, I. If these things actually would magnify a ton, I would take them hunting and just like put them on my head.
Miles
They're just like glasses.
Jared
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
If you could get like a. You know like the baseball lenses that like flip up when you don't want the sunglasses on. Yeah, something like that. You can flip them up and down so you got regular sight.
Jared
I think it'd be super convenient, especially if I'm hunting, to not have to have both arms up and turning my whole ass body to glass for deer. Yeah, If I could just slowly turn my head, that'd be sweet.
Miles
Jared, I don't know if you know, you're not much of a hunter, but not much. Glassing for deer is just looking for deer.
Ryan
Just so you know.
Jared
But you. It's called glassing because you use binoculars and they're.
Miles
No, I know, but I just wanted to clear that up because I. That might have just gone right over.
Tyler
Like you're blowing glass.
Ryan
Big glass guy. Big glass guy. I get it.
Miles
But yeah, that's actually what photographers call lenses as well. They call it glass.
Tyler
It's more my wheelhouse.
Jared
I thought they call it ones and twos.
Miles
No. Yeah. Jake, on the Patreon. God, poor guy.
Ryan
I mean, the. The patrons, they let. They let us know that Jake was a disaster.
Jared
They sure did.
Miles
It's just.
Tyler
It wasn't that bad.
Miles
He wasn't that bad. But it's just the classic. If you just say something confidently, you'll just sound like you know what you're talking about. And that's kind of Jake in a nutshell.
Jared
There was one. One patron commented. It summed it up perfectly. It's like, it's honestly impressive how confidently wrong he is.
Miles
I know.
Ryan
I gotta go back and listen to that one.
Tyler
Oh, wow.
Miles
Also pretty suspect that the zoomies. The example that they did of using these zoomies to zoom in and view things is just a high school girls soccer game.
Jared
It just zoomed in on a young girl playing sports.
Miles
Pretty weird.
Ryan
Yeah, it's like, I mean, you're. You're field side at a high school. Like, why do you have to zoom in?
Jared
You don't need 300 magnification to see 12ft.
Miles
I will have to say, though, that having binoculars around your neck after about 20 minutes is pretty annoying. Yeah. And now I know they got the chest mount ones, but.
Jared
But those are kind of a pain in the ass to put on.
Miles
So that is the pain point that I do agree with. That having binoculars around your necks kind of sucks.
Jared
I. I think I would actually buy these.
Miles
I think I'd try them out.
Ryan
I would too. Yeah, I would too.
Miles
And I.
Ryan
You know, being out in the wilderness is. You ain't gonna care how you look if you're wearing those at a high school soccer game. Yeah, you're gonna get psycho.
Miles
You're. Well, you're gonna get arrested.
Ryan
That too.
Miles
If I went to a high school girls soccer game right now with those on, I'd probably get arrested.
Jared
And a trench coat standing outside the fence.
Tyler
Don't want to pay for a ticket.
Miles
Are you a dad who left their family, but now your kid is the star on the football team.
Tyler
Your kid on the weekends, you.
Miles
And you don't want to necessarily go into the stands because you're not allowed.
Jared
300 yards from a school.
Miles
We'll stand on the edge of the field and use zoomies.
Tyler
It's got 300 yard magnification.
Miles
No, I'd like to try those out.
Jared
I think I would too.
Tyler
All right, here's the second one.
Miles
I mean, they're just glass. They're just really magnified glasses. So it'd be like if. If Tyler's glasses were just 300x instead of what they currently are.
Jared
I don't think they magnify. They just clarify. It might magnify. I don't know.
Ryan
That's true.
Miles
I don't.
Ryan
Fuck the point, Tyler.
Miles
How it works. I don't know how glasses work. I'm not Ben Franklin.
Tyler
Here's the second one.
E
Next time you're feeling down, feeling that no one really gets you, or you're just wanting to hear some encouraging words, well, there's a solution.
Jared
You can have what you want. You can do it.
Ryan

Miles
And don't forget, hooray for you.
Jared
I'm pretty sure a puzzle piece is like this. The logo for autism awareness.
Miles
We know that Ryan's buying this.
Jared
No, you have a playlist of stuff that you. Better than this, but similar.
Miles
You literally have a playlist that is that.
Ryan
Yeah. Back in 2014, you guys, people change in 10 years. Also, it sounded like a Joel Osteen sermon or something from back in, like 20.
Miles
I like how, though, that just says that there's cheering and applause.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Imagine just, just sitting there listening to cheering and applause and being like, yes, they love me.
Jared
We believe in you.
Ryan
The one thing that would sell me, though, is that it was. It was featured on Alan.
Miles
That's a big selling point. Yeah. And Ellen. Everyone knows that. Ellen's a great gal.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Good galan.
Ryan
Yeah. That guy had to feel phenomenal.
Jared
Did you see him? He looks pumped.
Ryan
Yeah. You know what I should do is I should purchase that and then during the summer series, just have my AirPods and just be playing that on loop throughout the summer series.
Tyler
There you go.
Ryan
For two games.
Jared
Should actually play that like on a. On a JBL speaker or something.
Tyler
Turn this off.
Ryan
Yeah, I'm. I'm definitely out on this product.
Jared
I. I wouldn't spend my own money on it either.
Ryan
That's how YouTube is. This is probably pre YouTube.
Miles
I mean, if it was on Spotify, I'd sa it a listen just to see what the whole. For the hoopla is about.
Ryan
I don't. You. You. I don't think you would. Or would you.
Miles
I. Well, now that I know it exists, I wouldn't search it out without, you.
Ryan
Know, what's it called? You are great or something.
Tyler
Cheers to you.
Ryan
Cheers to you. Yeah.
Miles
Unbelievable encouragement. Cheering, applause and Featured on Ellen DeGeneres Show. I would like a followup of the feature on the Ellen DeGeneres.
Tyler
I'll try to find it.
Miles
Now watch. It's like featured on the Ellen degener show. It's Ellen's like on.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
I would like to know who the voice is because I guess again it sounds like Joel Osteen. It's kind of like Rogan on Fear Factor before I give him podcasts. Like, this is Osteen before.
Jared
Yeah. You know he's a voice actor.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I didn't know you're such an Osteen head.
Ryan
No, I just remember. I just remember the whole controversy with Osteen and then righteous gemstones kind of reminded me of that.
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Miles
So that makes sense. This is definitely a product that the righteous gemstones would put out versus sell it for just. Just them doing encouragement on a DVD or whatever.
Tyler
Make stupid money. Yeah.
Miles
Like the prayer pods. Have you guys seen it?
Jared
I've heard you guys talk about it a thousand times.
Miles
People are just jerking off. All right, Ryan, you're like, put lotion in them. I didn't want people to have dry hands while they're trying to pray.
Jared
Right.
Tyler
You'll love this one. Okay, I think you're going to buy this one immediately.
G
It's the problem in the marriage bed that no one likes to talk about. Maybe that's why they call it silent but deadly. Well, now there's a real solution to a very real problem. Introducing the better marriage blanket. On the outside, the better marriage blanket looks and feels just like a soft, warm comforter. But on the inside, it contains a layer of activated carbon fabric, the same type of fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons. Flatulence. Molecules easily pass through the cotton shell and are harmlessly absorbed into the layer of carbon fabric. Even when used on top of bedsheets, offending molecules are absorbed before anyone knows they're there. So whether you or your spouse suffers from a health issue or just the occasional disagreeable meal, owe it to your marriage to try the better marriage Blanket. It makes a great wedding gift or anniversary gift, too. To order, call 1-800-981-1134. Just three easy payments of 39.95 online at buy better marriageblanket.com. order now.
Ryan
I don't know if you guys noticed, but what a psychotic move for them to switch sides on the bed right away. They were on. They were on. Husband is on the right side. And then.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, that's never happens. Once you're locked into a side of the bed, you're locked for sure. Side of the bed.
Ryan
I think if I were to buy this, I would cut it into squares and line my boxers with it.
Tyler
Oh, that's good.
Miles
All I know is Ann would buy this in a heartbeat. She's really. She would be like, if there's. I'll try anything.
Ryan
For you or for.
Miles
Herself, for our marriage.
Ryan
Gotcha.
Miles
He said it's a marriage saver.
Jared
Hey. Well, three easy payments of 39.95 and then it's yours.
Miles
You mean really you putting a price on your marriage?
Jared
Yeah, that's true. It's 120 bucks.
Miles
So basically, they're saying you launch farts into the covers and then it just traps them in there forever.
Tyler
It Dutch ovens itself. I guess.
Miles
It'S like, you know how on, like, your toaster, there's like a little, like, crumb catcher at the bottom that you pull out? It's like you have to, like, pull out the. The fart catcher inside of the thing about once a month.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
And you have to, like, air it out and it just smells worse than anything you can imagine.
Jared
Well, I. I do also like that they. They likened farts in the bed to chemical weapons used in warfare.
Miles
Yeah. It's like, it's, you know, napalm or whatever.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Agent Orange in the bed.
Ryan
You gotta.
Miles
I mean, the way my wife acts. She acts like when I fart in bed, it's like she's in a gas chamber in Auschwitz.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
That's the way she acts. Yeah.
Ryan
You gotta line your bunker with these blankets.
Jared
Yeah. No chemical weapons getting in.
Ryan
No. You don't even need to dig a hole.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Better doomsday blanket.
Jared
Does carbon absorb radiation? Radiation. Thank you.
Miles
Probably the way they talking.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. I've tried out.
Miles
Also, there was a period of time in infomercials and just marketing in general that people would just slap that this is stuff that the military uses.
Ryan
Oh, yeah.
Miles
And people are like, well, then, you know, it's high quality for sure. You know, it's great. The military uses or. Or it. It stems from a development from the military.
Jared
The only thing they use the military to advertise now, I feel like, is flashlights. I'm always seeing ads for military grade flashlights.
Ryan
I got one. They're awesome.
Jared
Is it sweet? Yeah, it better be.
Ryan
I bought the big one too. I meant to buy a little one. Big one came.
Jared
How many lumens?
Ryan
I don't know. I don't know lumens, but I assume like 40,000.
Miles
I don't know if you guys remember when memory foam came out. It, like, basically said that, like, NASA uses memory foam and people were hooked.
Jared
But the. The commercial, I still remember the ladies jumping on one corner of the bed and there's a glass of wine in.
Miles
The other, and they're like, NASA this. And like, yeah, they did.
Jared
Hell yeah. Space mattress.
Miles
Good.
Ryan
And they probably sold millions of those things.
Tyler
It's good foam, if I remember correct.
Miles
I would like to buy this just to see what if it actually works.
Jared
I. I feel like you'd have to have separate ones.
Miles
I was thinking that it was going to be like a blanket that was kind of like a sleeping bag style.
Jared
Two, like a. Two separate it.
Miles
That would actually be way smarter.
Ryan
Yeah. It would still seep out the. The top, like where your head's at. You'd have to give it some time.
Jared
Carbon would get it for before you got out.
Miles
What they should invent is just like a air sucker. So, like, now you can. There's this thing with, like, where you can control the temperature of your bed. My cousin has one.
Ryan
Oh, yeah.
Miles
So basically it's like this little, like, fan that goes up onto your bed and like, underneath your sheets and, like, blow cool air? If you're someone who gets too hot while they're sleep.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
Why don't they just have one that sucks air out and then, like, have it go out a window and so you're just sucking your farts out from underneath the blanket out the window.
Jared
Why don't they just make a pair of boxers? It's like a CPAP machine, except in reverse, just sucking air straight out of your pants.
Miles
So you want to CPAP your butthole.
Jared
Yeah. Except you're reverse cpapping it instead of getting oxygen in, oxygen out.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Kind of feels good.
Miles
I don't know if what's coming out of my ass is oxygen or not.
Jared
But it's the same thing, you guys, except more personalized.
Ryan
You guys ever seen, like, on wakeboarding boats, they have those tubes of, like, warm air that you can Put on the towels. They should, they should have something like that where it's like it kind of just, it filters out of the wall so that when you have to fart, you just like flip a switch and then put it up to your butthole and then sucks it straight outside. Kind of like. Like a dryer vent on the outside.
Miles
It's like a fart tube city.
Ryan
Yes, pretty much. Yeah.
Tyler
There we go.
Ryan
Yep.
Jared
And you have it going directly into your siblings room.
Ryan
Great prank.
Jared
It's way more efficient than cupping farts and throwing them at them.
Tyler
Yeah, streamlined.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, it'd be nice. You rip ass and just flip a sweats.
Ryan
Well, we talked about it's equivalent to.
Miles
When you're driving the car hard, you fart and you open the windows. It's equivalent to that.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, we talked about like the AC seats. But having something that would like suck farts out.
Jared
Yes, we did do that, didn't we?
Miles
It'd be funny though. They have the little suction underneath the covers and like you flip it on and like the covers just like suction you to the bed. Like shrink wrapping to the bed, like.
Jared
Stuck in there.
Ryan
And they do that. So like you like, if you do have to go to the bath, like have to go take a piss, you can't like flip the covers open for like five minutes until it all dissolves out. Because when you, if you shit yourself and then you flip the covers to go like take a piss, then it all just fills the air. That's, that's the issue right there.
Tyler
Don't want to shit the bed.
Ryan
I conveniently have to go piss and I just shit my pants 30 seconds ago. You know, it hasn't even made its way to the top of the covers yet, but now it's gonna fill the entire room.
Tyler
It's gonna stick.
Ryan
And like, like my wife's, she's pregnant right now, so some smells like just don't sit well. And then she would throw up. She'd be miles. She'd be miles. 30 hours ago, 6am yeah, on accident though.
Miles
I, you know, also I like how you're like some smells, you know?
Ryan
What do you mean?
Miles
Like, oh, like lasagna. Right now we're talking about raunchy, silent, but deadly farts.
Jared
But. Right.
Miles
It's not just some smells, you know what I mean?
Jared
Right.
Miles
Like you're acting like, oh, like I burped and like whatever we're talking like something died inside you farts.
Jared
But Ryan's smell good. Especially in the shower.
Tyler
That's true.
Miles
That's true.
Ryan
It's you guys who keep bringing the shower.
Miles
I didn't bring it up.
Ryan
No, I know. That's why I said.
Jared
Yeah, just reminding people.
Ryan
I think you're the one who likes to shit yourself in the shower. And then I think. I think you big blew it. I think you fogged put it in a jar and then sniff it on the way.
Jared
That is a wild thing to just claim.
Ryan
Well, you're the one who brought brought.
Jared
So it's the thing that you did.
Ryan
You weren't even Tyler. You didn't even work at this company. When this comes.
Jared
I've heard about it 100 times matter you.
Ryan
You heard it secondhand. You ever play the game telephone now?
Jared
I did. I heard it secondhand and then I had it corroborated by another party. Anne and Miles both said it separately.
Tyler
Parties.
Ryan
Would you keep that between us? We can't just be telling other people.
Tyler
Cats out of the bag.
Miles
I mean, I. What do you want me to do? You want me to go back and just scrub the Internet of you talking about loving the smell of your farts?
Ryan
The context is not.
Miles
We'll read. I mean now we're just gonna. It's gonna be the. What is it? The Barbra Streisand effect? I mean the second you tell everyone to just get rid of it, it's going to make it go more.
Ryan
So maybe that's the plan.
Miles
It's a weird plan.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
So I'm. I'm maybe buying two out of three of those.
Tyler
It's pretty good.
Miles
The. The binocular glasses and the. The blankets, the sheets. You can really tell when. When Ryan thinks the topic is funny. It's usually around farts.
Tyler
So Ryan, you're definitely buying this, the better marriage blanket?
Ryan
I would try it out. I'm actually surprised they don't have a money back guarantee. Or maybe they do. Maybe I missed it. I don't think I do a 30 day money back guarantee. In those 30 days I'd be eating chili. I eat it fresh off the off the stove and then I eat it for leftovers two days after that.
Tyler
Really?
Ryan
That'll put it towards to the test.
Jared
It's a crazy name for that blanket too.
Ryan
What sheets?
Jared
The best. That's better than the better marriage blanket.
Ryan
What is the name of them again?
Jared
Better marriage blanket.
Tyler
Yeah, I kind of like better. It's very memorable though. Better blanket.
Miles
I think it's also great to assume that the reason most marriage issues come from farting in bed.
Jared
Yeah, that's not where I thought the commercial was going when it started. A couple in bed. It's like, is your marriage on the rocks? Like, this is an ED commercial, isn't it?
Miles
I mean, it's basically farting in bed is an ED commercial.
Ryan
Introducing KY Jelly fire. Nice. It's like the first KY commercial ever made.
Tyler
I'll dig that one up later, do some research.
Jared
You tired of using spit?
Tyler
You tired of Hawk 2 egg?
Ryan
Are the tariffs, Are tariffs too high on Jurgen's lotion? Is Jurgen's lotion the new eggs?
Tyler
What was the commercial made?
Jared
How did they know?
Ryan
History always repeats itself, though. You know, I think back in the 80s, egg prices were high too.
Miles
What else is going on?
Jared
I was single dad all weekend.
Miles
Mm.
Jared
Yeah. Single dad from Friday until tonight. So Becca went to. She went on a trip. Went to Idaho. And the, the weirdest thing, she does this all the time. And Jared and I were talking about this too. When our wives leave, they, they think we can't cook. She, like, before she left, she's like, just so you know, I put, I got a bunch of frozen pizzas and some sandwich meat.
Ryan
We. Well, she's not wrong when it comes to frozen pizz.
Miles
I mean, true, I mean, fro. She should have known that you can't cook a frozen pizza either.
Jared
But it's like she thinks that I, I, I don't know how to cook anything. I cook two nights a week.
Miles
What are you complaining about, though? It's just nice.
Jared
It's just like, I'm not a kid. Like, I can do it. Thank you.
Ryan
What's your go to? Usually, because you don't. You're not a griller.
Miles
So it's not burgers or the macaroni and cheese.
Jared
Dad. Meal is macaroni and cheese and venison hot dogs.
Miles
One can.
Tyler
Great.
Miles
One can arguably say that that's not cooking.
Jared
Yeah, it's not. But I know how to cook.
Miles
Okay, what can you cook then?
Jared
What do you need me to cook?
Tyler
Enchiladas.
Jared
I can make pastas. I can make pancakes, eggs.
Ryan
We understand. Macaron. Macaroni and cheese is pasta.
Miles
It's pasta. Yeah, true.
Jared
I was thinking pasta doesn't count.
Miles
Like, don't kids in their dorm room can make.
Jared
Yeah, I'm thinking, like, Alfredo. My kids really like Alfredo and pancakes.
Miles
You just, you just pour water into the pancake.
Jared
Right. I'm not saying it's advanced, but it's like, I'm, I can do more than pizzas and sandwiches.
Ryan
Yeah, you can get your kids tummies full.
Jared
I, I, yeah, I can make sure the family is fed.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
He's like, is that the only thing guys know how to cook? Is Jared saying that that happens with him too?
Tyler
Like I cook probably more than my wife and then she does the same thing when she leaves. She'll buy like pizzas and the whole nine yards. But I'm arguably a better cook than she is.
Miles
And never ever bought me food when she leaves.
Ryan
No, I think my wife just, she maybe. Even though I don't really struggle when she's gone in terms of cooking wise, I think she just likes to maybe think that I struggle and she wants to see that.
Jared
She wants you, Wants you to be desperate?
Ryan
Yeah, a little bit. Because she does most of the cooking. And so I think she just wants me to struggle a little bit in that, in that sense.
Miles
Well, why do you think she buys all that stuff so you don't have to cook?
Jared
Well, I, I really think it comes down to she doesn't want me to be stressed about cooking when it's just me and the kids, which I get. It's a nice, nice gesture. Like I don't, I'm not mad at her for it. I just thought it was funny.
Tyler
The quickest way to your heart is the tummy. So yeah, that's what it is.
Miles
So did you have a bunch of pizza then?
Jared
We had pizza the first day for lunch. You got like seven of them.
Miles
Well, she knew that. About 50 of them.
Jared
You can't burn them on the pizzazz.
Miles
Okay, so we're having pizza. We probably need two full pizzas. So I should probably buy six because he's probably gonna burn the first four.
Jared
Didn't burn any, but we had, we made two pizzas the first day and then we just ate those for leftovers another day and we were at grandparents houses. So I cooked like one meal. Like we were all over this weekend.
Miles
So what did you cook?
Jared
The pizzas? We were only home for the pizza meal. Otherwise we were at grandparents houses.
Miles
There you go.
Jared
We had an Easter deal on Sunday and whatnot, but we were just never home.
Miles
So what can you cook? Like can you. You know what I mean?
Jared
So like my go to like pasta.
Miles
Doesn'T count, pizzas don't count, sandwiches don't count.
Jared
My go to if I'm trying to impress somebody sort of meal like I made this for my wife when we first started dating is like a big stuffed shell dish that has like a gravy and it has stuffing and chicken breast and like you put chop up celery in there.
Miles
Why don't you. Why don't you cook that for her again? Is that the last time you cooked down?
Jared
I've cooked it multiple times. I usually cook it on our anniversary because it's a little cheese dick. Like, look at me. Remember when we had this when we first started dating?
Ryan
You say cheese sticks or cheese dicks?
Jared
Cheese dick. It's a cheese dick move. Okay.
Miles
Jesus.
Tyler
Come on.
Jared
Right there is. There is parmesan cheese on top of the shells. Before you bake it though.
Ryan
The move is to like pre make some like tater tot hot dishes, throw them in the freezer, and so I.
Jared
Can make tater tot hot dish, layer.
Ryan
It all up, and then freeze it.
Miles
When we had our kid, my mother in law made us breakfast burritos and then put them in the freezer.
Jared
That's such a baller.
Miles
That's the move.
Ryan
That's a move right there.
Miles
Heating up a breakfast burrito any time of the day is just the best.
Ryan
Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
Miles
You know, I can. I get. I like a breakfast burrito, but ever since she did that, I. I eat a lot more breakfast burritos.
Jared
Like, a homemade breakfast burrito is top tier. I'd rather have a breakfast burrito made at home than a regular burrito.
Ryan
I would. I. I think I'd agree.
Miles
A breakfast burrito made at home versus a.
Jared
No, a regular burrito made at home.
Ryan
Like a beef and bean burrito.
Jared
Like, if I went out to a Mexican restaurant, I would want a regular burrito over a breakfast burrito. But, like homemade. I want breakfast more than regular.
Miles
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm. I'm not making burritos at home.
Tyler
You should try it.
Miles
I know, I'll just order it. It's funny, but you can't like, order a good breakfast burrito, so you make that at home.
Tyler
Gotcha.
Miles
I don't know if I'm making Mexican at home. Just having tacos. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
I'm having chips and salsa. Yeah. My wife is gone last. It would have been last night. Last night or two nights ago? No, she was at an art show, so I just. Chips, cheese, taco meat.
Miles
What is an art show that you.
Jared
Go to look at art?
Ryan
Yeah, you're just like, people display their art and you can, like, go buy it.
Miles
She went somewhere for that.
Ryan
Yeah, like a downtown Fargo.
Miles
Oh, I thought she, like, went on a trip.
Ryan
No, no, she went on a drive.
Miles
Okay, got it, got it. I thought she went somewhere.
Ryan
No, no, no, no. Like travel.
Miles
Like, I didn't know she Was such an artificial sewer.
Jared
They're fancy. They have the proper stemware for all lines.
Ryan
Yeah, that's true.
Miles
Did she buy anything?
Ryan
No, no. Just went to look around.
Miles
Just a purist. Just look at it.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
I've been to one art show in my life. I went to a pottery show at the art museum in Fargo. It's kind of cool.
Ryan
I went to the art museum in Chicago.
Jared
Oh, sorry.
Miles
That could have been me.
Jared
Yeah, it could have been.
Ryan
But speaking of recipes. Tyler. Or not, not recipes, but just cooking in general. This was probably a couple weeks ago I realized this. I had to write it my phone because it was. How absurd it was. Recipe websites are a disaster.
Jared
Oh my God, dude, you're spot on.
Ryan
It's like, like, it's almost like you're entering like an EDM festival When you hit that web page and they're. Because there's blinking ads all over the place. The web page is reloading and just goes blank for like five seconds every 10 seconds. And you have to scroll a mile. And I understand some of them have like go to rest. Like go to ingredients list or whatever at the top. But you scroll for a mile and a half before you can even.
Miles
It's like we. It's a classic. I'm here for the recipe. I don't need a whole life story. Dude.
Jared
The life story.
Ryan
I don't care if your aunt Janet fucking really enjoyed this. At Christmas in 2001, eight in 1979.
Jared
My aunt would come over for Christmas. And Christmas time was a special time in our home because Uncle Jerry was there and Uncle Jerry would tell the best stories around the fire. It's like, get to the fucking sugar cookie recipe.
Ryan
Yeah. Just tell me what I need in it.
Jared
And so me doing woodworking projects, they're the exact same thing. Project plans. They have to tell you an entire four paragraph story about why they make the thing that they make.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
It's like, I just need to know how to assemble this.
Miles
And they don't ever tell you the information that you want to know? No, you know, it's like information you want to know is like, you know, have some. You would need some fresh slice parmesan cheese in this. Right? They should have in there. Like. But if you. If you're not a crazy person and you don't have parmesan around, like in a block that you can then fresh grate into your thing, the stuff in the little plastic can will do. Like it needs notes like that.
Ryan
Correct. Yes.
Miles
You know what I mean? If you don't have a skillet on the ready, then a regular pan will do. Yeah, you know, a lot of whatever will do. Yeah.
Jared
Alternative options.
Miles
It needs. Yeah, it needs, like, recipes need a. This is the best, but this will also do.
Jared
Agreed.
Tyler
Yeah. It's like, if you're hungover, just throw in the noodles now and the boiling water.
Miles
Yeah, that would also be nice. Is a timetable of when to put stuff in. I can't tell you how many times that I've had one portion of the meal that I cooked ready to go for about a half hour, just waiting, waiting for the other thing to finish, and then that gets cold, then you have to reheat that and then that.
Jared
It's the whole thing on your, like, alternative, like, good enough thing. They should also have, like, substitutes because, like, even when you look at the recipe, you'll probably forget to buy one thing at this restaurant or at the grocery store and, like, have the importance listed next to it. Like, if you forgot the paprika, it's still going to be okay.
Miles
Yeah, yeah.
Jared
Like, you don't need it. It just adds to it.
Ryan
Yeah, Right.
Tyler
It's like out of five or something. One out of five for paprika.
Jared
Right. Like, how important it is. Or these are things you can substitute in, like, no salt. Add Lowry's. That'll work.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. If you're doing a chicken cordon blue, chicken should be five out of five.
Jared
Yeah, Correct. And the cordon and the blue are pretty important, too.
Ryan
I also wish they would give you. And I understand every, like, oven or stove is different, but giving us, like, us males, like, numbers on the dial on, you know. Okay, medium high heat. Well, these noodles have been done for 45 minutes on medium high heat. I'm still working on the sauce over here, so can you give me. Hey, turn your oven to number four right now. Perfect. Okay. Medium high heat. What the.
Jared
You know, medium high is just directly between medium and that's what I do.
Ryan
But, you know, an hour and a half goes by and my kid is now sleeping and didn't get fed for the night because I'm still trying to get the sauce made while the noodles sit. You know, it's like, all right, we'll have this tomorrow.
Miles
Now, there is something that noodles usually cook the fastest. So, yeah, I would recommend cooking the sauce first.
Ryan
I know, I know.
Miles
And also, anything on medium high heat for an hour and a half is going to be.
Ryan
No, I'm saying it's been done. It's been. It's been done and ready to go. For the next step for an hour and a half. But I'm still on.
Miles
Ryan's still doing the sauce, so his noodles just end up becoming a puree because he cooks them so long.
Jared
I don't know. He's cooked them so long that they went from hard to soft and now they're getting hard again.
Ryan
Well, and it can, can like a noodle recipe. Like can it, can it tell me to throw it against the cabinet to see if it sticks? Yeah, you know, like let me throw something because that's how I feel right now. Just let me throw the noodle at the, at the cabinet. But if you don't tell me to do that, I won't because I'm following the recipe. I will not stray. Also, I'm one downfall I have is I clean shit up as I go. Same where my wife's the opposite. That's why she can like manage so many things at a different time is because she just leaves everything out. I gotta clean up. So I think that's where I, I lose time. That's a personal flaw. Chat GPT is the best for recipes. There's no fluff involved.
Tyler
Yep.
Ryan
Chat GPT doesn't need to tell me how I'm gonna feel warm and fuzzy after eating this.
Jared
That's actually really smart though. Just take the link from the recipe you're trying to make, throw it in Chat GPT and just say, simplify this.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, it's good life.
Ryan
I had a bunch of deer sausage I had to use up. And again, I don't cook very often, so this one time I did cook. Okay, I'm gonna Chat GPT. What can I make with deer sausages? Sausage found like a great hot dish recipe. Come to find out my wife's not a huge deer sausage fan, so she didn't really eat much of it. It's like.
Miles
Well, I don't think that's the recipe's fault.
Ryan
No, it's like the one time I try and like be helpful and cook. She doesn't like it.
Jared
Chat GPT first. Are you sure your wife likes this before you make it?
Ryan
That's a good point.
Miles
The. God, what was I gonna say? Dear sausage, I don't remember. I got flu brain.
Ryan
Yeah, you do.
Miles
I got absolute. I'm starting to crumble right now.
Tyler
So.
Ryan
Yeah. Anyways, disastrous EDM concert. If you have anxiety, don't look up recipes. Yeah, it's already stressful enough.
Jared
So single dadding after. On Sunday night I dropped the boys off at grandparents house because I had to go to work in the morning. So for the first time since I moved into this house, and for a significant time before that, I was truly alone. Like, my dog was gone, my kids were gone, my wife was gone, and I had absolutely no idea what to do with myself.
Ryan
What do you mean?
Jared
I got that out of the way right away. I immediately got.
Miles
You kidding me?
Jared
I immediately got that out of the way.
Miles
I had no idea what to do.
Ryan
What do I do with my hand?
Jared
I'm not gonna crank it for five hours.
Miles
What do I do?
Jared
I could. I. I guess I could.
Miles
What do I do?
Ryan
I know this baseboard heater doesn't connect here, but maybe I should try anyway because I'm bored.
Jared
No. So I. I was bored. So I went into the wood shop.
Miles
Shop.
Jared
I finished all the projects that were happening.
Ryan
Shop. That's actually a clever name.
Jared
Thank you.
Ryan
Oh, AKA the bathroom.
Jared
No, after.
Miles
I can't imagine you're a stand up guy, huh?
Ryan
I just said the first thing that you run into when you walk into the bathroom. Toilet, shower, whatever.
Jared
I. I do have the patience to make it further than the sink.
Ryan
Trying to make a joke about how.
Jared
All right, so anyway, I finished. I finished all my half done projects in the wood shop. And I was like, I still. I don't have any responsibilities. So I just started making wooden swords.
Tyler
Nice.
Miles
I was like, mike, it's on a Sunday night.
Jared
Sunday and last night. And so we're making swords on the side.
Ryan
That's a great band name.
Jared
Sunday night. Monday night. And then last night I was like, all right. I practiced for two days. I'm gonna make a sword. And so I did.
Ryan
And then you had a sword fight?
Jared
No, I'm gonna give them to my kids. They're gonna. They're. I made one for me.
Miles
So why are your kids at grandma and grandpa's at night when you're there?
Ryan
They had supper ready because I would.
Jared
Just have to go drop them off in the morning. So I went there, I'd hang out with them until like bedtime and then I would just come back home because otherwise I'd just be driving back and forth each day.
Miles
Yeah, it makes sense.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. It's like Tyler on Sunday was planning on bringing the kids Monday morning, but he burnt the pizza and was like, it. I'll just bring you to your grandparents. They can cook for you.
Tyler
They're good cooks.
Jared
But. So if you guys have any requests, I'll make you a sword. It's my new hobby.
Ryan
Can we see a couple pictures?
Miles
But a wooden sword doesn't do anything for anyone.
Jared
It's fun. They're kids. They. They just grab sticks out of the woods and pretend they're swords.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. For kids. Is it more of a dagger or a sword sword?
Jared
Theirs are smaller. I made a full ass sword for myself.
Tyler
Nice.
Jared
It's sick. I'm proud of it.
Ryan
You could bring it to a like a larping meetup.
Jared
I could. I went with a sort of a scimitar sort of look. I don't know if you know, like a pirate sword kinda.
Ryan
And what are you cutting? These are two. Two by fours or what?
Jared
Yeah, so I. I ripped a 2 by 4. The tall way in half so it's a little thinner, and then made a pommel and. And then I took it to the grinder. I drew the shape on it, took it to the grinder and made the shape.
Ryan
How sharp did you get it?
Jared
I didn't make it too sharp.
Tyler
Splinters.
Jared
Because they're gonna be whacking each other with them.
Ryan
What you should do is you should make a spear and you should try and spear a deer in your backyard. And during deer season, obviously, like Jared Allen did.
Jared
I don't know if Minnesota sells deer spear tags.
Ryan
Just be like a oversized boat bow tag with an oversized arrow.
Jared
Okay.
Ryan
So anyway, that's actually kind of cool.
Jared
Yeah, it's been fun.
Ryan
Took care of one sword and then on to the next sword.
Miles
You had yourself a sword film.
Jared
I did. I did.
Tyler
Wood sharpens wood.
Ryan
That it does. That it does.
Miles
I guess not. Oh, maybe not.
Jared
So if we ever do a show and tell, I'll bring them in for you.
Tyler
That's a good idea.
Miles
We don't want to see your sword.
Jared
Yeah, you do. It's a sweet sword.
Tyler
Tell us about it.
Ryan
Yeah, we'll take a peek.
Jared
So it's really hard and it curves at the end.
Ryan
Oh, we'll take a peek.
Jared
There's a knob toward it. Towards the one end of it.
Ryan
Nice grip. A nice grip on it.
Jared
Yeah, it's molded to my grip, actually. So pretty cool sword.
Ryan
Did you make a case for it?
Jared
No, no sheath yet. She's in Idaho.
Miles
My God. No respect. There's no respect on this podcast, Ryan.
Ryan
I know. I just asked if you made a.
Miles
There's just no respect.
Ryan
Make a pocket sword.
Miles
Well, what is Coachella? AI.
Tyler
So Coachella is happening, as you guys probably know. So I did.
Ryan
This is. This is the. This is the pre game to Fire Fest 2, which we're coming. We got to be coming up on soon.
Tyler
It's gonna Be a month. It's like May 30th.
Miles
I think it got pushed.
Tyler
It got pushed again.
Jared
No.
Tyler
So we gotta wait for Fire Fest.
Ryan
Okay.
Tyler
But I did AI generated photo of what we would look like at Coachella. Oh, yeah, this is the. There's just two images. This is the first one. That's us.
Miles
So one, I love that I got the Mars Cheese Castle shirt on. I'm assuming that's.
Jared
I think so. I think.
Miles
I think Jared is definitely on the right. But it looks like Jared, but it doesn't look like Jared at all. I'm guessing Ryan is in the middle because of the way that guy is smiling.
Ryan
Have you guys ever seen that?
Miles
Like, and then Tyler in the back, though, doesn't. I mean, that just looks like if Tyler was, you know, like a guy who hangs around playgrounds.
Jared
Yeah, that guy doesn't look cool. He's also like 4ft tall.
Ryan
I mean, there's a Ferris wheel in the back. Tyler, he could be at the wrong, wrong, wrong.
Jared
He doesn't have zoomies on, so I think he's good.
Miles
You do kind of smile like that guy Ryan.
Ryan
You guys ever seen that? The guy who plays that character, the abusive blue collar husband on Tick Tock? I don't know. It's. This is. It's an insane character. Actually. It kind of looks like that guy. He's got like a Snapchat face filter on when he does it. But yeah, I don't think that looks like me at all, to be honest.
Jared
It looks like you more than the rest of those guys do.
Ryan
I mean, that looks identical to Jared. That's pre. That's Chinese food. Pre half marathon Jared.
Tyler
Yep. It's got my beard down, Miles.
Ryan
I mean, that looks.
Miles
That's pretty good.
Ryan
Pretty accurate.
Tyler
That might be you, Miles. And there's the other one. It's pretty similar.
Miles
They just can't figure out Tyler.
Jared
Not at all. There's two Jared. You kind of look like Adam Sandler.
Miles
Is that Jake in the background on the left?
Tyler
I think so.
Jared
Why is there a fifth person?
Tyler
I don't know.
Ryan
A photo bomber. We're probably on the way to Steve Aoki.
Jared
When we thought about this Jared, I thought for sure it was going to put us in like, neons and fish.
Ryan
I was. Yeah. I was hoping I'd get a. Yeah.
Miles
Also, it looks like me and you on this photo. Hit up the merch tent, Jared. We both got Coachella hats on.
Tyler
I'll buy one if you buy one.
Miles
If we showed up to Coachella in that, I feel like, we'd be the most normal looking people easily.
Ryan
Yeah. I feel like you guys are maybe like you meant to go to Stagecoach, but you're actually.
Jared
That's. I think that's spot on.
Tyler
Took a wrong turn.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Wrong turn. Coachella, Wrong coach.
Jared
The only thing that that guy looks like is we're just both white.
Tyler
Yeah. That's about it. Good traps, though.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Tyler, you have a bigger widow's peak than that guy.
Jared
I do, but I would probably. There's no way I wasn't wearing a hat in the regular photo.
Ryan
Definitely. Yeah. You'd have been at the merch tent first out of any of us.
Tyler
Pretty funny.
Miles
I would love to know the sequencing of thoughts that got us to these photos.
Jared
Well, we just had some ideas on our list. Just we wanted to talk about AI at some point. And then we're like, what's happening right now? We're like, coachella's happening. And I don't know how the we got to this.
Tyler
I just wanted to see how we would look at Coachella.
Miles
That's nice. We should just, you know, to the point now where we don't even need to travel.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
We could just have AI put us places and just make us look wanderlous.
Jared
You guys could. The AI can't figure me out.
Miles
That's true.
Jared
I gotta go there.
Tyler
Pretty funny.
Miles
Did you just take a photo of us?
Tyler
Yep. I took just the podcast.
Ryan
Tyler is in the back left.
Miles
I mean, off of that photo. You do. It does look very similar.
Ryan
Huh.
Miles
Actually, now Tyler does look just like that guy from that photo. I didn't know if that's what you look like. It's a really bad photo of you.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
I think that might be your worst photo. You on the Internet might be that one.
Jared
It made Ryan look better with that.
Ryan
Pose and the glow up on the.
Tyler
AI added glasses to you, Miles. I don't know why.
Miles
Yeah, I don't know. It's good look, though. I like it.
Ryan
The original picture looks stoned.
Miles
So you just put that in and just said, redo this. Like we're at. At Coachella.
Tyler
Yep. Like we're at Coachella 20. 25.
Ryan
Huh? We should post that. Be like, yeah, spur the. We. We. We caught a flight, not feelings. Coachella 25.
Miles
Jared, you got. What's going on with you?
Tyler
So I did a lot of house projects this past Sunday.
Miles
Weekend Warrior homeowner.
Tyler
I unmounted a tv, I mounted a tv. I painted a room and just moved a bunch of shit. And I also planted the tree from our wedding yeah. Yep.
Ryan
Grounds thawed.
Tyler
Grounds thawed.
Jared
I'm. I'm. I'm happy I made it this long. I was a little nervous if it not getting in the ground.
Tyler
Yep. So, yeah, it went fine.
Ryan
Good.
Tyler
And then when I was done, I was, like, really, really tired. I almost, like, I felt like throwing up, like, after I was done, and I realized that I am not in house shape at all.
Ryan
You're in renters shape.
Tyler
Renter shape. Yeah.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
I worked so hard, I almost threw up. So I'm pretty out of shape. How was shape we got?
Miles
I was gonna say. What do you mean you almost threw up? From mounting and unmounting a tv.
Tyler
I mean, just a wear and tear from all day.
Miles
Oh, my God. How are you supposed to run a half marathon? I.
Tyler
That's out the window right now. I'm not running a half marathon.
Jared
Jared, you got signed up.
Tyler
You can sign up. No, that's. Maybe in the fall I can, but not the Fargo one at the end of May, So.
Miles
So from mounting, I'm mounting a tv, painting, and planting a tree.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
You were that shot, and I was moving.
Tyler
I'm not in house.
Ryan
You ever think it could have been the paint fumes?
Jared
Ah, that's. What a good point.
Tyler
So it's not oil based, so. Yeah, I thought about that.
Jared
I totally knew that.
Miles
I would have just. I would have just said yes. Not a good look for you.
Tyler
Integrity.
Miles
So did you have Chinese food that morning?
Tyler
No, I had pulled pork. Not that morning.
Jared
Was it cooked?
Tyler
Yeah, it was cooked okay in the croc. So, yeah, I. I need to do better at. I think it was just more so, like, muscle confusion, too.
Miles
P90X.
Ryan
Oh, yeah, sure.
Tyler
That I wasn't using the right muscles or the form.
Ryan
I think when I was like, 13 or 14, I did the first day of P90X and I almost threw up.
Jared
I've. I've done the entire program not to break. My dad was super, super into P90X, so I've done it with him when I was in High School.
Tyler
Puke. 90x.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah, pretty much.
Miles
Okay. I like that spin zone. You basically did the house project version of P90X.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. And like, they say, like, when you do, like, shoveling snow, you could burn more calories shoveling snow than running two miles. So.
Ryan
Heart attacks?
Tyler
No, heart attacks.
Ryan
You work so hard, dim near have a heart attack.
Jared
That's true. Just being a homeowner is its own form of exercise.
Miles
And I actually. This actually brings up a great point. Jared. You. You are 100 correct in saying you are not in homeowner shape.
Tyler
Absolutely not.
Miles
Because it's the same thing every single year. In the summer when I go back to work in concrete, there's about a week of getting back in concrete shape. But every single year that you come back to it, it gets a little bit easier to get back into that shape because you know how to move and you know how to operate your day with the least amount of effort. Right. When you first learn something new, it takes a lot of mental work to do the tasks that you're doing. And eventually, you just get used to it so you don't have to spend extra energy working on it. When you mount another tv, it's going to be a little bit easier.
Jared
Yep, you're a breeze.
Tyler
When I plant another tree, it'll get a little bit easier.
Miles
A little bit easier.
Tyler
When I paid another room, gonna get.
Miles
A little bit easier.
Ryan
Are there any. Any details that you're leaving out about this day? Like, did you have 15 beers throughout the day when you were doing all this?
Tyler
I was having a few beers, but it wasn't, like, anything crazy.
Ryan
Okay, so it wasn't the. It wasn't influenced by.
Miles
It was the old ball and chain over your shoulder all day, too, because that could be mentally draining. That could make me puke once in a while.
Tyler
No, we kept our distance.
Miles
Okay. You did that, right?
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So what was she doing while you were doing your work? What chores was she doing?
Tyler
Like.
Miles
Like organizing the spice drawer and.
Tyler
Exactly.
Miles
Oh, that's real tough.
Tyler
Getting paint ready. Painting.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Like stirring the paint bucket, Opening the paint can.
Miles
Opening it.
Tyler
Wow.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. So it's just like a lot of basic. Like that.
Jared
So what's next for you? Are you done?
Tyler
No, not done. The foundation needs grading.
Miles
What? What do you mean?
Tyler
Well, like, the. The grade is not. It, like, dips into the foundation. So I have to raise the grade.
Miles
On the outside of the house? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jared
You get a couple.
Miles
I thought you meant your. How your foundation was out of level of some sort. I'm like, I don't know if you're gonna be able to get that done.
Tyler
But a couple carjacks, you just need.
Miles
More dirt around the edge.
Tyler
Exactly.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Nothing huge.
Miles
Yeah, Yeah.
Tyler
I need to buy a lawnmower.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, you do.
Jared
I'm getting a rider. I'll sell you my push mower.
Tyler
That's not a bad idea, actually.
Ryan
Yeah.
E
Make sure it works first.
Jared
It works. Been in a bunch of videos, actually.
Miles
I. If you're doing the grade work at your house, you should just swing on by mine. We can do the party bus on the weekend. Cuz there's one corner of my house that over time, it's just sunk. I need to refill it in. But it kind of sucks because there's landscaping there and rocks and.
Ryan
Oh, yeah. Tear all that out.
Miles
And my AC unit's sitting out there and it's kind of starting to slant a little bit. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
My neighbor did a concrete slab where their AC is, AC unit's at. And that was a mistake that I didn't do that. Yeah, it wouldn't have been that hard to just throw a slab out there. Yeah.
Ryan
I mean, you're a concrete guy.
Jared
Do that yourself. You know what you're doing.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Well, if I'm not feeling like throwing up, I'll come over and fix that for you.
Ryan
Well, I, I, Yeah. And I still have to grade my, the entire. Around my entire house, so we got great issues.
Miles
I didn't know it's. That's three out of four.
Jared
Yeah. That's what the inspector, when you inspect my house, he's like, I would put some dirt in this corner. I'll put some dirt over here.
Miles
We all got grading issues I guess we need rectified immediately.
Ryan
Yeah. Party bus. We'll get the dirt lined up. We just see, hey, boom, here, here, here.
Jared
You guys want to go in on a dump truck of dirt together or what?
Miles
That actually is not a bad idea.
Ryan
I need like, I need like probably two or three trucks of dirt.
Miles
Then I think that we just do it separately.
Jared
Yeah. Yep.
Ryan
Volume discount, though.
Jared
I need like, that's true. I need like two wheelbarrows full of dirt.
Tyler
That's about what I need.
Ryan
Volume discount. I got two or three. Yeah. Trucks.
Jared
This is like when you go to dinner with a big group and somebody's ordering appetizers and a ribeye and you get a sandwich and then they want.
Ryan
To split the check.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Never. Does it happen that someone orders a bunch of appetizers and, and an expensive meal and asked for everyone to split the check evenly.
Jared
No, but it happens.
Miles
Never happens.
Jared
No, it's happened in movies.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
I'm not saying it happens. I'm saying this is what it's like.
Ryan
I would never have it for schmucks or what?
Jared
There is an entire Seinfeld episode on this exact thing.
Ryan
Think that's a crazy move to split the, the entire thing equal ways?
Jared
Yeah, People would just literally, like, they just split it six ways and one person had a ton and the one.
Ryan
Didn'T and one guy was. How was like 15 old fashioned.
Miles
That would be crazy.
Ryan
Split this baby down the middle.
Tyler
Uneven, huh?
Miles
I watched the Seinfeld episode last night.
Tyler
Which one?
Miles
I was out of commission.
Jared
Jake finally got to you.
Miles
It was Jerry's new girlfriend. Ellen, I think was her name. She is perfect. But he's all paranoid that he doesn't like that she's perfect and all this stuff. So he kind of wants to break up with her because of it. And George. Does George have a kid?
Tyler
No.
Miles
There's some guy that looks like George that he's trying to pitch to these. His company to get this kid an internship. And that kid, I don't know, it's tough with that. And then Kramer sells his stories to the.
Tyler
Oh, publishing company.
Miles
The publishing company. For like 750 bucks.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
And then he's at a bar, he. And he's about to tell one of the stories. And Elaine. Correct. She is basically tell him like you can't tell a story. You sold this to the company. So he loses all of his friends. Friends. Because he can't tell his stories anymore. Stories back. It's pretty funny actually. Yeah, I clearly, I just, I haven't watched much Seinfeld.
Tyler
Great show.
Ryan
But anything that you enjoyed being out of commission? Like did you get caught up on any shows or Seinfeld?
Miles
No, I. Literally the only reason why I watched that Seinfeld episode is for like 45 minutes to an hour. Yesterday I came out of the bedroom, made it downstairs onto the couch downstairs. And that was just what was on the tv.
Ryan
Sure.
Miles
And I just didn't even desire to look for a remote to change to anything else. I just watched the episode. I was laid there for a little bit, then went back up into bed. Yeah, I don't watch anything other than the Seinfeld episode.
Tyler
Yeah, it was great.
Ryan
Yeah. You make it downstairs, there's no way you can grab the remote?
Miles
No, God no. Not even. Didn't even scroll on my phone. Right. It's just.
Tyler
Just dead unplugged.
Miles
I probably took four naps yesterday. Just in and out, in and out.
Ryan
Why me? You know.
Miles
Well, Jared, are we ending the episode with the highest we've ever been?
Tyler
Yep. So yeah, it's 4:20, I think this Sunday.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
So I was just curious, what's the highest you guys ever been?
Miles
The highest I have ever been was. Is probably in Denver. Yeah. There's a mile high city. Yeah. I mean Denver. I don't look at elevations a lot, but I would say Denver is one of the higher Places I've been to, it's almost like. Or big sky by big sky. Montana is the highest I've ever been. Big high, big sky, Big high. Yeah. I haven't been to, like, Pike's peak or anything like that. I know my brother went as a kid one time.
Ryan
You never.
Miles
I don't know why I remember this, but my brother went with his mom or whatever to pike's peak. He came back and just told me about how his lips turned blue because of the elevation. I gotta text him, see if he remembers that. This is a vivid memory of him telling me that his lips turned blue because the elevation change. So that was probably the highest my brother's ever been.
Ryan
He's sucking on a blueberry dum dum.
Tyler
Or something from the bank.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You gotta remember, like, I clearly haven't been that high Because I'm a. I'm a flat ground guy.
Ryan
Yeah. You're not a heights guy.
Miles
Not a heights guy.
Ryan
You ain't gonna be caught on that ferris without coachella. Let's see. Highest I've ever been. Like, I would go out of 10. Out of 10. Probably 12, 000ft out of 10.
Tyler
That's really confusing.
Miles
But, yeah, lovely.
Jared
I have no idea.
Ryan
I've been. I've been a 12, 000 out of 10 high, which is, like, really high.
Miles
If.
Ryan
If you're wondering, Love Loveland pass in Colorado. Loveland. I was in the car, though, on feet. Probably Mount Si. Washington, another legal state. That one was only about 4,500ft. No, we walked. But we walked. So it's 12,000ft on wheels, 4,000ft on foot.
Jared
I've also done the loveland pass in a car.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
But on foot. I hiked to the top of Burton. Mount Burton in Idaho. And it was. It's like four, 800ft. So that's the highest I've been on foot. That was. And also when I got to the top of that mountain, I found a bigfoot track. And nobody I was with cared at all.
Tyler
You should have followed him.
Jared
It was. I was so upset. We're on the top of this mountain. And I went off the. The regular path, and I was just around and I found a bigfoot track. And I called my sister, her husband, and my wife over to look at it, and they were all just like, oh. I was like, are you guys crazy?
Ryan
Maybe they're scared.
Jared
Like, I don't know if you. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. It was just a weird thing to find out that I Took a picture.
Ryan
It was large. I looked at it earlier.
Jared
I'll show you. It was. I. I was so upset that they didn't care.
Ryan
It probably looks way bigger in the picture.
Jared
No. I put my hand next to it.
Miles
Banana. For. For reference.
Ryan
For reference.
Tyler
Pringle can.
Miles
What? What did he do? So I was looking up the elevation.
Jared
I found a bigfoot track on a mountain. And no one gave a.
Miles
Your hand looks funny in that photo. Like this is what the. How his hand looks is. Imagine how Jared felt At the end of his day working in the house. Your hand looks like it's gonna puke.
Ryan
Were you trying to make your hands smaller to make the track look bigger?
Jared
I was just trying to take a picture.
Miles
I think it was going like this.
Ryan
No, I. It does look like a bigfoot track. Whether you believe it or not.
Miles
It does. It really does. It's very strange. What other animal would it have been?
Jared
The.
Tyler
It's like a big bear pod on it.
Miles
If it was.
Jared
Yeah. What it could be is like a bear's forepaw stepped and then his back paw on the follow up Stepped in his already previously made track. That's a lot of people thinking they found a bigfoot track. Ends up being that. But we were way the up there, like really high. And I'm. I'm convinced I found a bigfoot track.
Tyler
I ever been. Was on top of the Empire state building when I was 14.
Miles
Oh, how high is that? Because I've been on top of the empire state building as well.
Tyler
When you were 14.
Miles
I was around. I was young like that. I was probably like 12, 13, 14.
Tyler
Empire State to tip. Not the tip, but 12.
Miles
No elevation from sea level.
Tyler
Elevation. Oh, 100 seconds. Second floors from sea level.
Jared
1400Ft.
Tyler
Yeah. That's probably the highest I've ever been. Yeah.
Miles
It's not very high because big sky is like 8,000ft where I was at. Montana.
Tyler
Yeah. I haven't really been on top of them all.
Miles
Mountain.
Jared
We'll get you up there. Jared.
Miles
I saw that. The empire state building. How much Google how much the empire state building makes in the viewing deck a year.
Ryan
Viewing deck making a year.
Tyler
Make it a year. Millions of business.
Jared
131 million for ticket sales.
Ryan
Holy.
Miles
A hundred and thirty one million dollars just to ride an elevator and look at stuff.
Tyler
And when. When I went up it. It was super cloudy and foggy. So we got to see nothing.
Miles
It's terrible.
Tyler
It was terrible. My dad was so pissed because it's pricey.
Miles
$131 million just to I saw something that was like, now, because of that, every single big skyscraper has a viewing deck. Like, they don't build them without it now. Makes sense because of how much money they can bring in.
Tyler
All the idiots.
Miles
But it's like. But it's also like, you don't. People don't go up there for the viewing deck. They go there because it's the Empire State Building. You know? I mean.
Tyler
Right?
Miles
It.
Ryan
Yeah. Getting that impulse. Yeah, yeah.
Miles
$131 million just off of viewing.
Ryan
That is.
Miles
They don't. They don't. It's.
Jared
How much are the tickets?
Miles
How much did the Empire State Building cost to. To make.
Tyler
Empire?
Miles
Yeah, right there.
Tyler
There we go. 40 miles.
Miles
$41 million. They pay that off in from January to March in one year.
Jared
How much. What does it cost per person.
Miles
Battling so many words?
Tyler
80 bucks.
Miles
Wow.
Jared
Jesus.
Miles
That's crazy.
Tyler
They have a sunset also.
Miles
It was $41 million in 1930. That is a lot of money for back then.
Tyler
It's a lot of boats.
Jared
That's like 1.6 million tickets sold. It's a lot of people up there.
Miles
That's a lot of money.
Jared
Speaking of crazy, overpriced tickets, the circus came to town on Friday, and I brought my kids to the circus, and it was 25 bucks a person to ride an elephant for a minute.
Miles
Oh, I thought you were gonna say to get into the circus.
Jared
No, I don't. We got those for free, but.
Tyler
Oh, that's where they get you.
Jared
We went down a hundred bucks for my wife and I and two kids to ride an elephant for one singular minute.
Miles
I mean, it is sliding.
Jared
I just did because I promised him. I was thinking it was gonna be like 5 bucks. Like, maybe 10, 15 for the adults, 5 bucks for the kids.
Miles
Supply and demand.
Jared
Yeah. Yeah.
Miles
Like, oh, you want to ride an elephant? Like, then get an elephant. Like, I don't have one.
Ryan
Yeah. What do you pay? 25 bucks. Go to Africa.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
To ride one. It's gonna cost a lot more than 25 bucks.
Jared
Yeah. It's the only time I get to ride one for a minute.
Ryan
You should.
Miles
You wait. It's one minute you get to ride it.
Jared
No, I don't even know if it was that. It was two laps around that dinky ass ring.
Tyler
Ass ring.
Miles
Did your kids love it or.
Jared
They were pretty indifferent, because you can't really tell you're on the elephant when you're on the elephant when you're on it, you know?
Miles
So it's almost like you and your wife should have Just rode the elephant and had them stand next to it and watch you guys ride. It would have been probably cooler.
Jared
Yep.
Tyler
Kind of romantic too.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
You should have tried to trade him a sword for free.
Jared
I didn't. I didn't start making swords until Sunday, so I was pretty inexperienced though.
Tyler
Free sword.
Jared
I'm pretty good now though.
Miles
Empire State Building was completed on my dad's birthday in 1931.
Ryan
Wow.
Miles
To let him know that.
Jared
I don't know if that. I don't think that's a coincidence.
Miles
I want. I want you to know how that conversation will go with my dad. Hey, dad, you know what? The empire still building was completed on your birthday in 1931.
Ryan
Yeah. Four days ago. I mean we had like, what, the 94th anniversary? 94th year the empire saved four days ago.
Jared
Six years ticket prices are going to.
Miles
Be through the roof.
Ryan
Oh yeah. Yeah. They're falling egg prices.
Tyler
Oh.
Miles
You know, they're gearing up for the hundredth year to break 200 mil on prices easily.
Jared
I'm gonna build two buildings right next to it that are zeros.
Ryan
You can't put a price on that Instagram picture though.
Jared
Nope.
Ryan
Huh.
Miles
You got any fun? I mean, that was my fun fact for the day.
Tyler
I'm glad you brought one.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
That's cool.
Miles
That's good. I even had follow up things ready to go.
Tyler
If all the gold ever mined were gathered into one giant cube, it would measure about 23 meters or 75ft on each side. That's about the size of a small three story building. And it's roughly 235,000 metric tons of gold.
Miles
That's not very much.
Ryan
No. Especially isn't there. What? Where do they. Fort Knox.
Tyler
Yeah, I'm not sure if it's there anymore, but. Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. I thought that they were gonna go look.
Tyler
I mean, we've been off the gold standard for a while. I'm not sure.
Miles
No, I know, but there's a lot of people who say that. Like. Yeah, well, the government says that their 4 Knox is still filled with gold.
Tyler
Gold.
Miles
But there's a lot of people who think that there's just nothing there anymore.
Tyler
Well, why would we tell people where the gold is?
Jared
That's a really good point.
Miles
Well, it's Fort Knox. You're not getting into it. There's a reason why it's called Fort Knox.
Jared
I used to be a bouncer there.
Tyler
Oh yeah.
Ryan
No one's getting past Tyler.
Miles
Yeah. I saw some tick tock that basically showed a visual of this and it was not as much As I thought. It's the most gold ever mined. That's all of it combined. It's like what about everyone's necklaces? And that's got gold. But I suppose a lot of it's gold plated or whatever, right? Not of it. A lot of it's not solid gold because that's tiny.
Jared
I think a lot of it too. Don't they just like mix gold in with another metal so it gets the color? Like, isn't that the carrot of it all?
Miles
I don't know like how the care of that works.
Jared
Care is like how here. How much actual gold is in the metal?
Ryan
Yeah. I'm not sure. 24 carat?
Miles
Yeah. I don't know.
Jared
I could be completely wrong, but that's what my impression was.
Miles
The only thing gold I ever bought is this ring here. And it wasn't that much, so.
Tyler
Well, your pocket watcher.
Miles
No, I don't know if it's real gold or not. It better be for what I paid for.
Jared
Just bite it. You'll be able to tell if you bite it.
Miles
What? Yeah. What happens? Yeah.
Tyler
I don't know.
Jared
But you just know.
Miles
Does it dent?
Jared
I think so. Is because isn't gold soft?
Ryan
Yeah, it's precious.
Tyler
It is precious.
Miles
The three story building.
Tyler
Small three story building.
Miles
Okay.
Ryan
Like there's a lot of rappers that have gold teeth.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Imagine if they just like you know, plucked all those teeth out. That's got to be a lot of teeth.
Jared
Enough for a small three story building.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Huh?
Miles
Is that it, Jared?
Tyler
That's all I got.
Miles
Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet your radio podcast. Thanks for listening today on this flu game performance from me. Next week I'll be rocking and rolling. Next week I'll be absolutely on fire.

Tyler
We'Re gonna do a. A fun fact off between me and Jake, and you're gonna decide who has the better fun facts.
Miles
So you each got one in the chamber.
H
We got three in the chamber.
Miles
Okay.
H
By the way, I would just. Before this even starts, I would like to let you know that mine are completely.
Miles
You can't prime the pump.
H
I'm prime.
Miles
No, I'm. You can't. I didn't. You can't do that. This is. I'm gonna be objective.
Tyler
All right, I'll go first.
H
Okay.
Tyler
The Average person blinks 14 to 17 times per minute.
Miles
It's a good fact. I would have liked to know how many times per day.
Tyler
I didn't foresee that.
Miles
You should have foreseen that. I like that fact. 14 to 17. So I saw something online that if someone is blinking a lot, they're lying or trying to deceit or. Yeah. They're nervous and, like, are hiding something and all of that. That. What if they don't blink? They're trying to manipulate you. So if you watch the, like, serial killers getting interrogated by the police, they oftentimes don't blink for a long time because they're trying to manipulate the situation, because that's what they're good at.
Tyler
Interesting.
Miles
So I always try and make sure that I'm blinking 14 to 17 times per minute, even if I am trying to manipulate Jake.
H
You're mentally counting 17 times per minute too.
Miles
Then I'm like, oh, I'm supposed to be manipulating him. This whole thing.
Tyler
Manually blinking.
H
Are now manually blinking.
Tyler
So that would be 21,600 times a day.
Miles
Really? Holy smokes. That's a great fact. 21,000 times. That's crazy. Yeah. No wonder we have to sleep at night. So give those lids. Give those lids a rest. Yeah.
H
How many calories a day am I burning from blinking?
Tyler
I didn't foresee that.
Miles
That one.
H
That's.
Miles
You should have seen coming.
Tyler
Damn it.
Miles
I'm gonna do that, though. I'm like, I'm tired. I blinked 21, 000 times today. So is that in 24 hours, or is that like 12?
Tyler
24 hours.
Miles
Okay, well, I. I'm asleep for eight hours.
Tyler
That's a great point.
Miles
So that was misinformation. Well, so out of 16 hours, how many.
Tyler
So divide this by 16 then. Yeah, no, that's not right.
Miles
That's how many per hour?
H
Divide it by 24 and multiply the number by 16.
Miles
So 17 times 60.
Tyler
17 times 60. Got it.
Miles
Times 16.
Tyler
Time. Oh, my God. Okay, 17 times 60. Times 16.
Miles
16.
Tyler
Okay, 16,000.
Miles
Okay, well, 16.
H
Three.
Miles
Well, I'm gonna hit the hay. I blinked 16,320 times today, so I'm pretty shot.
Tyler
Well, if you worked a full workday of 24 straight hours, it would be 21,000.
Miles
That's true.
H
And also, Jared, it's 16, 321. Because sleeping is just one really long blink.
Miles
Well, the 20th is the last.
H
Once you hit 19, number 20 is your longest blink of the day.
Tyler
That's not a blink, though. It's just. That's nothing.
Miles
I don't know.
H
I think sleeping counts as one long blink.
Miles
What's your fact, we just don't have time to dive into that?
H
Or should Jared just go all three in a row and then.
Miles
No, we'll ping pack, ping pong. We don't have time to dive into that.
H
My fun fact is, is from the highest point on Earth, the highest mountain, all the way to the lowest point in the Ocean is only 11 miles.
Miles
I already knew it, Jake. Huge misstep for you. Huge misstep. Did you know. Did you know that from sea level down to the lowest portion of the ocean, it's actually a longer distance than it is than Mount Everest is? And that was what you're. Was that your follow up?
H
No, I.
Miles
I mean, talk about basic cable facts over here.
H
Oh, my God.
Tyler
Did you know the Statue Liberty was a gift from France?
H
Really?
Miles
Do you know there's two Resolute desks? Is that your next one?
Ryan
What?
H
Did you just watch National Treasure?
Tyler
We did, actually. Buzz Lightyear's original name was Lunar Larry.
Miles
Really? Lunar Larry? Yeah. Buzz Lightyear is much better.
Tyler
So much better.
Miles
So much better. I wonder at what point in the process they said, let's get rid of Lunar Larry. No? Nothing. Okay.
Tyler
I just. That was a fun fact.
Miles
So there's a fun fact, Jake.
H
Minnesota native Dave Winfield is the only athlete in history to be drafted into four different professional sports leagues.
Miles
MLB Yep. NFL.
H
Yep. NBA, mls, and the aba before they merged the. Before the NBA and the ABA merged into the current NBA, he was drafted into all four leagues and he went and played baseball.
Miles
And should he have played baseball or should he done the other ones?
H
No, he should have played. He was a Hall of Famer. Baseball. He's one of the greats. Yeah. Played baseball for the Gophers, played baseball for the Yankees.
Miles
I mean, that record's going to hold up forever because the ABA no longer exists.
H
Well, you could be now drafted into the mls or you could be drafted into another overseas league.
Tyler
Yeah. Or hockey.
H
Yep, or hockey.
Miles
But also, what year was this?
H
1970. Something.
Miles
Yeah, they didn't. They didn't know how to be athletes back then, so I guess you just get one that's really good. I mean, kind of. I mean, like, in half of those leagues, half of the people playing were like mechanics from down the road. Well, I don't know.
H
I mean, like, Russell Wilson was drafted in the NFL. Jameis Winston. Two of them.
Tyler
Two bagger.
Miles
Yeah.
H
Two bagger.
Miles
I mean, that would be Joe Mauer.
H
Two baggers.
Miles
You do NFL, NBA, and the mls.
Tyler
I mean, that athlete doesn't exist.
Miles
Doesn't exist.
Tyler
That body type would be insane.
H
Just does not exist.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
H
To let alone even play two of them. Like Dion or Bo did, too, Anyways.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah.
H
Crazy.
Tyler
Neil Armstrong's hair was sold in 2004 for $3,000.
Miles
What do you mean his hair was sold?
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
You know, is he alive?
Tyler
He's dead.
Miles
Yeah. So they just scalped him when he died and then just, like, sent it. Sold his bolt. Like, it. Like. Like a bald cap, but with his hair.
Tyler
Yeah, his hair. Sold. $3,000. 2004. Cut during a routine haircut in 1966 by barber Samuel O'Neill. After O'Neill's passing, his family auctions the hair, attracting collectors due to Armstrong's iconic status.
H
So, yeah, it wasn't even, like, hair.
Miles
Wasn'T even post moon hair.
H
It was pre moon hair.
Miles
Not even.
H
Even. Not even hair that was on the moon. It was just like he was just a guy at that point.
Miles
But would be funny, though, if they did it right after his honeymoon. Just technically it is moon hair, but it's just honeymoon hair. Like, in the advertising to try and sell it, they just put moon hair, post. But then honey is like really small letters. Neil Armstrong's honeymoon hair.
H
And that's not even from his actual honeymoon. It's just from the honeymoon phase in his relationship with his wife.
Tyler
Well, I see three grand, though. That's kind of a lot. I can't imagine his post moon hair.
Miles
How much that would go for. Imagine explaining that to your friends that come over and you got his hair on display. Like, oh, what's this? That's Neil Armstrong. Oh, shit. That hair's been to the moon. Well, it's been to the honeymoon.
Tyler
Pretty recognizable follicles here.
H
Is that. Take a wild guess.
Miles
Pretty recognizable strands of hair. Like, how would you even just. Well, here's the next question. How do you display it?
Jared
It.
Miles
Do you. Do you display it in like just a clump, you know? Like, do you just like, strategically clump it up so it displayed nicely? Do you. Do you line it up in a row just, you know, and like, put. So it sticks up and it's just a row of his hair?
H
Or like, or like, you know how, like, people will buy a full bust to put their NFL helmet on? That's what you do. You just buy a full bust, then insert a couple of the followers. Like a Chia Pad.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. Is that the way you do it? I don't know. Maybe you, like, you like, you could display it in like kind of a spiraling formation that comes out of it.
Tyler
That makes the NASA logo. That'd be sick.
H
Yeah, that is cool. I think you just lay them out.
Miles
Like, the reason why I got a haircut is you got like bubble gum in his hair. So it's like you just also have this chewed bubble gum in it as well.
Tyler
Or your brigger. It's like in a clump or whatever. You bring your buddy's loco over at it and the buddy sneezes right into it and just goes everywhere.
H
You put it on the shelf. You hit it with the duster on accident.
Tyler
My hair? No, Ar's hair. Jake, who was keep.
Miles
Who was keeping. Like, how did we get there? You know, why, why, why does this exist? You know?
Tyler
Creepy barber.
Miles
Yeah, but like, even at that point, he wasn't the man on the moon. So why was anyone keeping it was an astronaut. Yeah, but, but that guy.
H
But like, did the. Had they decided that he's gonna go to the moon in 1966? Were they. Were they like Neil Armstrong? You are the one.
Tyler
I think you would have been on the Gemini missions at that point, right?
H
Oh, yeah, probably.
Miles
Yeah.
H
So he was definitely an astronaut. He definitely was in space. He was 100 celebrity. So that does make sense.
Miles
Okay, that makes sense.
H
But like, there's this, there's this church in France, or maybe it's Italy. But they have like a finger.
Miles
Is this your fun fact?
Tyler
This is a.
H
No, this isn't this a tag on fun fact here. But they have a human finger that's like all decomposed.
Tyler
I don't know, we'll see.
H
And they claim that it's Mary Magdalene's finger. They've said that it's like her finger. It's like that's why you go to the churches to come look at the finger of Mary Magdalene. Well, they like ransom like DNA tests on it and she's like, it's a dude's finger. It's like it's got male chromosomes in it.
Tyler
Just paint a nail polish on it.
H
Yeah, they just like put pink. Yeah.
Miles
She must have got a pedicure right before she died. Or is that a manicure? Which one? Manicure?
H
Yeah, it's a finger.
Tyler
There's like little glitter nail polish on it. It's gold.
