Friends and Family Dynamics at Festivals

As attendees age, their perspectives on festivals shift. The conversation highlights how responsibilities, such as parenting, influence one's ability to fully enjoy festival experiences.

Transcript

[Ryan]

Welcome back everybody to another episode of the you betcha radio podcast. We are back. We're live. And I am mentally jet lagged from being at country Music festival all weekend. I was at we Fest in Detroit Lakes absolutely sucking hind tit. I am dragging ass. I'm foggy to all but I'm here and I'm ready to go. Oh well, I know what I did this weekend that I haven't done in a very long time.

[Jared]

Listen to country.

[Ryan]

I stayed up till 4:30 in the morning and then I woke up at 11:30am the last time I woke up at 11:30am had to. It's many years ago.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean that's Domino Dan era. That's like the time frame of. Yeah.

[Ryan]

So that was wild and not good for me and my health.

[Miles]

How did is your sleep schedule completely now from that one day?

[Ryan]

No, dude, last night I was sleeping by like 10:30 and I woke up at 8 this morning.

[Miles]

It would ruin me.

[Tyler]

Me too. For like five days.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

I did something really smart though. I didn't drink any caffeine yesterday.

[Miles]

That helps.

[Ryan]

Which just obviously made me tired all day. But then you know, that was my best shot at getting back on sketch.

[Tyler]

God, I would be crushing caffeine at that point.

[Miles]

It'd be hard not to.

[Tyler]

Yeah. 100%.

[Miles]

What I would have to do is do hang out with Ryan's college buddies at like 7:30.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And hope that knocks me out to get back on regular sleep schedule.

[Tyler]

Yeah. The herbal sleep medicine.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Tyler]

As they used to call it. So you, you got seven hours still. Essentially 4:30 to 11.

[Ryan]

That's what I mean.

[Tyler]

Like how did you. I mean you still had to feel.

[Ryan]

Like, well that was the, the second to last night. So I woke up at 11:30 and I just look at Ann and go we have to be back at the concert in five hours.

[Miles]

Like, like it's a job.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I have to clock in at We Fest in five hours.

[Ryan]

Five hours.

[Miles]

And that's only if we want to see the two main people.

[Ryan]

It's gonna take me an hour to at least. I'm gonna do an hour in the shower where I just stand there and let the water run over top of me.

[Tyler]

Maybe just lay down.

[Jared]

You got general tomfoolery.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So then it' I only have an hour to eat, an hour for general Tom foolery and an hour of travel.

[Miles]

That's not to mention it's going to take you 30. I know you woke up at 11:30, but you got 30 minutes till you roll out of bed. For real.

[Ryan]

True.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So now we're down to four and a half.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And it just doesn't leave a lot of room for General Tom Flurry to ramp up.

[Miles]

Well, and if you don't having fun at the concert and if you don't want just unending dad guilt for sleeping until 11 or you got to say hi to your kid at least.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So half of my general tomfoolery time is. Is General Tom foolery with my kids.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Being a dad.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So yeah, that was. It was quite eye opening. Also spent a couple years since I've been to a country music festival like that and really did it, you know, I think a couple years ago I went one night to do all three nights. Back to. Back to back was quite a bit of a grind. And there's, you know, you're too old to be at a country music festival when you're walking around going, where are her clothes?

[Miles]

Aren't they cold?

[Tyler]

Number one. Yeah. I mean that's even. That's when you're just driving to the venue. Like people are walking down the roads just trying to get there like that. That's an immediate thought.

[Ryan]

And a follow up is that's someone's daughter.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. How did your dad let you out of the house?

[Ryan]

You aren't even wearing a shirt. You're wearing a bandana around your torso like it's 80. That's not supposed to be a shirt. Or they're like that's supposed to go on your head.

[Tyler]

It's 85 degrees and sunny out and you gotta be cold wearing that.

[Miles]

I hope she packed sunscreen.

[Tyler]

Oh my God. Imagine the tan lines from a bandana.

[Miles]

There isn't any. Everything's just tanned.

[Tyler]

Jesus.

[Miles]

You know you're too old to go to a. A country music festival when you start commenting on how nice those campers are.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's a good one. Or that Just the setup in general. They got a good setup.

[Ryan]

I was talking to he in the background. He had like a. I. It had to have been like a what, 25 foot ice castle.

[Tyler]

Oh yeah.

[Miles]

Just like, look at that.

[Ryan]

I was like, holy. How much did that cost? That thing is a house.

[Miles]

That's the line when you start to wonder like that.

[Ryan]

Oh my God.

[Jared]

Did you just say it out loud to nobody?

[Ryan]

Holy. What kind of truck you need to pull that thing? You need a license to pull that.

[Tyler]

It gets to a point where you almost want to. Want to go knock on the door. Just ask these questions.

[Jared]

I'm sure they'll gladly show you around.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. You know you're too old for a country music festival. When you look back at, like, the general admissions section, you're just like, I could go for being back there right now.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Just in the most sarcastic way possible.

[Ryan]

I think I would rather die than be stuck in that.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Just like, even camp. You're only too old when you don't even consider camping. There's. Oh, yeah, I would. I'll find a ride home somehow, rather than stay here in this mud pit.

[Ryan]

Well. And you know you're too old for a country. Country festival when the whole day leading up to the first concert, you're worried about how long traffic's gonna take to get there.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And what time you need to leave to be there on time. That is me. I was like. Especially because last time I went, I think Morgan Wallen was the headliner, and traffic was backed up like, four miles.

[Miles]

I can't imagine.

[Ryan]

So then I'm like, I have that in the back of my mind. And I'm now to the age where I'm worried about, like, how long is this going to take us to get there? We need to leave at the right time.

[Jared]

Well, like, even during the concert, you're thinking about leaving too.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Leave early. Yeah. Like, we got to be traffic. Yeah.

[Jared]

You miss all of his best.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You lose. You just skip the encore for the last guy because you're like, it's just not worth it getting stuck in traffic. You also know you're too old for a music concert when the first thing you get do when you get there is, I need to probably eat some food.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

You gotta bake in some supper time.

[Miles]

I need to get a solid base in.

[Ryan]

If you're not too old. You don't even know that food exists at this festival.

[Tyler]

No.

[Miles]

You're a purely liquid diet.

[Ryan]

You just see the beer tent and that is it.

[Miles]

Yep. You know you're too old when you're pre. Gaming consists of hydrating.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. A liquid iv.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yeah. When you're intentionally sucking down waters before the concert rather than sucking down Fireball.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You know you're too old for a country music festival when your wife insists on bringing a new hangover cure that she found on Amazon and passing it out to the entire place.

[Ryan]

Which she did.

[Tyler]

Which she.

[Ryan]

That's a true story.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Me and Ryan basically did a fucking nicotine patch of vitamin B so that we wouldn't get hungover the next day.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean, I got the.

[Ryan]

The hardest part, actually. Was. So that's what it was. It was like a patch that was supposed to make it so you don't get a hangover, which. It's just vitamin B, whatever, Alcor weed. And the. And the direction says, find a hairless spot on your bottom to put this. And I just looked at Ryan and go, this is gonna be tough.

[Tyler]

You put it on your cheek?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I was like, I don't.

[Miles]

Forehead?

[Ryan]

Yeah, my forehead.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I think I said, I. I cannot put this on my nut sack right now.

[Ryan]

And I said, holy. What are you waxing them?

[Jared]

Your tape.

[Ryan]

Oh, you think my Tate's not hairy? Come on, Jared. So, yeah, we did find, like, one spot on my back that didn't have any hair that we slapped it on.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, we pluck a couple of. Pluck a couple strays out.

[Miles]

Were you hungover?

[Ryan]

I mean. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

[Miles]

That's the thing with those hangover curves. You'll never know how well they work unless you're 0% hungover, which that'll never happen, so. Because you'll never know how hungover you would.

[Ryan]

Definitely didn't have a headache the next day, though. It's nice.

[Tyler]

Same. And I mean, we were talking about the. The mouth breathing clinic that we were gonna put on that night, and I. I mean, I delivered. You delivered.

[Ryan]

You know, you're too old for a country music festival when you're at the concert and your buddy leans over and goes, we are going to be mouth breathing so much later.

[Tyler]

I woke up with a. Just a bag of cotton balls in my mouth. Yeah. Desert.

[Jared]

Mouth breather clinic.

[Tyler]

Well, in the beer situation, too, is like, you'd go get two beers to put in your, you know, your collectible mug, if you will. Yeah. And they're like. They were like. They're getting warm and they're getting flat right away, so you had to drink them quick. So the first two beers went down so easy, and I was like, thank God I got this patch. And thank God I already have a scheduled mouth breathing session in for tonight, otherwise I'd be in a world of hurt tomorrow. But we made it through. We made it. I made through one night. Three nights is a.

[Ryan]

You know, also, you're too old to be at a country music festival. When you're standing there and you're looking at all the speaker system and you're just wondering how much electricity that's gonna cost them. You know, what's the wattage on this place? And then you're like, and I would love to get a look at that.

[Tyler]

Electrical panel, but then you take it.

[Miles]

A step further and be like, well, it probably costs this much, so I wonder how many tickets it took to cover that cost.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but 10 of tickets were just for the electricity to keep the lights on.

[Miles]

So then you got to think about how much it costs them to bring in all this other stuff. And at the end of the day, they're only making a hundred grand.

[Tyler]

That's why I look at the merchandise. At music festivals or just concerts in.

[Miles]

General, you're always just trying to do the bottom line in your head.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, well, because I can usually look at a T shirt and tell by the size tag on it what brand it is. And I could tell you how much they are blank. You know, it's like the amount of money they're making on the teachers is insane. So good way to pay for the electrical bill.

[Ryan]

You also, you know you're getting too old when you start for Country Music Fest, when you start chatting it up with the people handing out the beers and you start giving them recommendations on how to do their job better, not what you think. So I was given a tip, and they're like, oh, thanks. That goes to this such and such charity. And I'm like, guys, you got to start advertising that. You're gonna get so many more tips.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

People think this is just a tip for you cracking the beer and handing it to them. People are less likely to tip. I go, next year, you guys got to have shirts on that say tips go to the kids.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And all of a sudden, you're just gonna need five buck tip jars up here and they'll all be full.

[Miles]

You really want to sell it? Bring a kid in there.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Just have them set off to.

[Miles]

The side because I don't think they can be behind the bar. But like, that kid right there, he'll get this money.

[Ryan]

This is going to him.

[Miles]

Yeah, Yeah. I know he's napping right now, but so you know you're too old for a concert or a music festival when you start getting your Snapchat memories from back in the day, and it's not a positive memory anymore. So all my we fest stuff was coming up from when I was 19, 20, and it used to be like, oh, man, that was fucking awesome.

[Ryan]

That was a fucking movie.

[Jared]

I remember any of that.

[Miles]

And now it's like, what the fuck was I doing?

[Ryan]

Yeah. It's like it becomes cringy.

[Miles]

Yes. Yep.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I also, there was, as we were walking into the concert on the last night, there was a gal coming against the grain. And she. From. From the front, I could see she was just lugging a cooler with wheels, but she was really laboring. And I was like, what. Like, what's going on with this gal? Like, what is. She got gold bars in that cooler? Hers? What's. Why is it so heavy? Then when I get a little closer, you see a side profile. Must have been her boyfriend or brother or something. Was literally, like, passed out on the cooler. Like, leaned up on the handle, and she was just dragging him on the cooler. And then. Then he would just, like, come to, like, do one of these to the people and then just pass out again.

[Miles]

Oh, my God.

[Tyler]

Holy.

[Ryan]

And I was thinking about that guy for entirely too long. Worried about him, if he was okay.

[Miles]

Yeah, I. I think, you know, and.

[Ryan]

That'S how you know you're too old if. If you're young, you see that you're like, that guy's a legend. Get on safe, bro.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. You know you're too old for a country music festival when the main, like, logistical hurdle you got to have is. Or you got to. You got to solve is where your wife is going to pump.

[Ryan]

That happened to Ryan.

[Tyler]

So, I mean, as soon as we walk in, you know, we had a couple options, but then you gotta weigh the best one, right?

[Miles]

Porta Pump is no bueno. No.

[Tyler]

God, no. I mean, we're classier than that.

[Ryan]

Tyler.

[Miles]

Porta John. Well, where else? I don't know what the other option.

[Tyler]

Well, we had friends. We had friends with campers there and stuff.

[Miles]

And if you didn't, you'd have been like, oh, what do we do?

[Jared]

Yeah, sometimes they'll have, like, a breastfeeding thing or whatever.

[Miles]

Not at we fest.

[Ryan]

Well, breastfeeding would imply that you brought your baby.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It'd be a pump.

[Tyler]

Yeah, like a. Like a mom's room or Tomato.

[Ryan]

Tomato. But then you'd have drunk guys lining it up.

[Miles]

Just trying to get up to get.

[Ryan]

A drink, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. A little Irish coffee of some sort.

[Jared]

That's a good point.

[Ryan]

That would be bad.

[Jared]

Good idea on paper.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Jared]

All right, prize picks. Time. Prize picks will give you fifty dollars in lineups. When you play your first five dollar lineup. Win or lose, you'll get fifty bucks in lineups. Use promo code YBR when you sign up. Today.

[Tyler]

Hell, yeah.

[Miles]

Today. Today, the very moment you're listening to.

[Tyler]

This Jarrett with the ad read.

[Miles]

I like it.

[Jared]

I have a good ad read voice.

[Miles]

You do.

[Jared]

Miles isn't here today. So he's taken Easton stick. Less than 94 and a half passing yards.

[Miles]

Questionable call, Miles.

[Jared]

That's what I'm thinking, too. I'm taking Alec au Manor. More than 21 and a half receiving yards, so.

[Tyler]

Because you're a little iffy. Do you even know who he is if you can't pronounce his name?

[Jared]

I saw him play one game in Stanford against Colorado, and he lit it up.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Jared]

That's what I'm basing this whole thing.

[Tyler]

Okay. Gotcha. Yep. That's all I need to know. I'm going to go shutter shut, Shadow shatter Sanders. We're going more than 8.5 rush yards.

[Miles]

Okay. I like that.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean, I feel like we need two rushes.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know, we got a third and five. Maybe he'll go run for six and then. Yeah. Fucking scramble out of the pocket for another three and we're golden.

[Jared]

Oh, for dinner.

[Miles]

There we go. Speaking of scrambling, Ash and Janti. Genty.

[Jared]

Genty.

[Miles]

Genty. I've been saying Janti for over a year.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I'm not sure why you've been doing.

[Miles]

That, but that's what big sports media is saying, so I just been. I've been a sucker for them. More than 24 and a half rush yards. He had negative one week one of preseason. So he's due.

[Tyler]

We said that. We were saying that before he's due.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

So I. I actually really like this pick. I really like this lineup, to be honest.

[Miles]

Mm.

[Jared]

I might power play this one.

[Miles]

Hey.

[Ryan]

God. I just.

[Tyler]

I. I flex. Played it because you guys keep shaming.

[Ryan]

Me for not play twice.

[Miles]

Yeah, do it. Run it back.

[Tyler]

Can you really?

[Jared]

Yeah, of course.

[Miles]

You can resubmit the line.

[Tyler]

Imagine, like, let's say I go. I'm like, oh, for 40 in lineups. And then I just. I. I just. I flex play and power play the same lineup like three times each.

[Miles]

So I.

[Tyler]

And I hit.

[Miles]

I've done where Crazy. I've done where I flex, play with, like, with a $20 bet, and then I power play with a five.

[Tyler]

Interesting.

[Jared]

There's ways to play it.

[Miles]

Yeah. Okay.

[Ryan]

All right.

[Miles]

So you can. You can get schemy with it, Right?

[Tyler]

I know.

[Jared]

All right. Price picks.

[Tyler]

Ybr.

[Ryan]

Oh. So, yeah, that was. That was kind of. It was a lot of fun, though. We had a lot of fun.

[Jared]

How do you guys. So you said they have the collectible, like the. The mugs for the beer?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

How do you guys feel about that as opposed to just like double fisting?

[Ryan]

Oh, I was we were all for it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

It's the move. Don't. Don't buy one every year, though. Just bring back your one from 2008.

[Ryan]

Yep. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah, a lot of people did.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I saw like, oh, 3s. I saw 20, 20 threes. I saw like everywhere in 2014.

[Miles]

I have an 08 that I. I stole from. From a relative. I don't know where the hell I got it, but I have an 08 that I would bring.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Last night we forgot. We forgot the mugs that Ryan bought us the first night. So Ryan dropped 40 bucks on mugs for everyone. Yeah. Money bag Sheili. And after the second night, we forgot three of the four there. Oh, God. So then we ended up using my parents. One of them was from 06. Kicks in 06.

[Miles]

I miss when they used to do that.

[Ryan]

They still do. She was feeling alive in 25 because they didn't.

[Miles]

They. They stopped doing it for a couple years.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Next year it'll be kicks in 26 again.

[Ryan]

But the problem is kicks in 06 not their best work.

[Miles]

No.

[Ryan]

Feeling alive at 25 is way better than kicks in OH6.

[Miles]

I bet if we look at the lineup, I bet you Brooks and Dunn was playing it's Kicks Brooks.

[Ryan]

They would have got a cease and desist. It would have been a whole thing. I don't think he was.

[Miles]

They were getting paid to be there, so it's fine.

[Tyler]

We lost two of the three.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we lost three of the four.

[Tyler]

Three of the four. Yeah. Because what we did was we. So we, my wife and I, we just left our mugs for the two. The people coming the next day with. With miles and an. And we're like, oh, this is. This would be great. Like they wanted to spend 10 bucks on a mug and then, you know, here we lose them, whatever. So I'll collect that from them anyway.

[Ryan]

Yeah. All in all, it was good. It's good. Nice to go and let her rip.

[Miles]

Yeah. You know you've been doing that a bunch this summer.

[Ryan]

I know. And I'm so tired.

[Jared]

Busiest ever.

[Ryan]

And I again, we like, had we both yesterday. We're just like. I think we're ready to just do fall.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Yeah. No, I'm with you.

[Ryan]

Let's just get the fall and just hang out at home a little bit.

[Miles]

I do think there's like a window for. For music festivals. Like, obviously you do it one way when you're 21 years old, you go camping, you get shit bombed, you wear the same pair of underwear for four days straight. Do way too many Snapchat stories, and then you turn 25 and you don't go again. Unless you guys are the exception. In my opinion, you don't go again until you're 45, your kids are teenagers, and you're in VIP with a full badass setup that you paid way too much money for.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, I still paid way too much money for.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Went to a good cause, though.

[Ryan]

Did you go to a good cause? Got a charity event. So did you say for charity for the kids. That's how they got me. That's how I knew to give that advice that people giving tips. They say it goes to. Goes to the kids. And I said, I'll take them.

[Miles]

I think.

[Tyler]

I think you bought them like a. Right after, like the promo video for that.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It was all.

[Tyler]

You were juiced up. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Just trying to help out some kids.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yep.

[Miles]

You know, in 15 years, we'll be doing this podcast. We'll be talking about how sweet our. Our cornhole setup at our campsite was. Yeah. And we'll be doing.

[Ryan]

I don't know. I don't think I'm ever going to be the campsite guy.

[Miles]

No, just wait.

[Jared]

Just wait.

[Tyler]

I. Tyler, he's not gonna be the.

[Miles]

Campsite until Miles all of a sudden has his midlife crisis and it's to buy a giant, awesome camper.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And then all of a sudden, it's like, hey, did you see the. You betcha. Guys got a campsite.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Three minutes later, you're trying to, you know, feed 10,000 like Jesus had to do.

[Jared]

But see, then we can start a charity for kids, though, and we can.

[Ryan]

Start charging entry fee, $5 cover for the kids. But now I'm. Maybe that's actually a good idea.

[Tyler]

The charity takes place like another campground over, though, so everyone has a travel.

[Jared]

Take a shuttle. Have a little shuttle.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we have a shuttle of people away from camper.

[Ryan]

There he is. We're coming up with a great idea, and he's worried about transportation Again, we just too old for this.

[Tyler]

No, I'm. I'm. I'm focusing on transporting people away from the camper. Just telling him that the charity event is over at campground.

[Ryan]

Over. A campground. Over. Just very specific directions. I like it.

[Tyler]

Trying to help you out.

[Jared]

You could drive the shuttle bus, Ryan.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean, sure, sure.

[Miles]

Any. Any campers burned down this year?

[Ryan]

No.

[Miles]

Seems like every other. I'm aware every other year a camper burns down. I witnessed one. The UND Hockey players intentionally set their camper on fire.

[Tyler]

I Was gonna say, maybe it's a good way. Instead of having to pay to bring it.

[Jared]

Dump.

[Miles]

Just. Yeah. They got leave.

[Tyler]

And then you just leave it.

[Miles]

Yeah. They got booted and then just bought new tickets the next night.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It did get to a point in the last night that they were running out of certain boozes. So I'd walk up to 10 and be like, can I get this beer? We're out. Can I get this beer? We're out. Can I get this seltzer?

[Miles]

Then?

[Ryan]

No, we're out. And I ended up mixing like this. I want to say it was like a. A vizzy. Do you know what a visit.

[Miles]

Oh, yes.

[Ryan]

I don't know what the flavor was. I mixed that with a Mike's Hard lemonade. It tasted like ass. Just putting your sugar all they had left. Yeah. Like teeth were gonna fall out.

[Miles]

Yeah, it was.

[Ryan]

I. I remember the last time I had a Mike's Hard. And it would have been so bad mixing like a Mike's Hard with a beer. Right. It's kind of like a, you know, lemonade style beer.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Jared]

Shandy.

[Ryan]

But just when you mix that, it was terrible. It was a disaster. And it was like, at that moment, I'm kind of like, we probably need to just go home. By mixing Mike's Hard with something like this, I. I think it's time to go home.

[Jared]

Yeah. You're not even that drunk.

[Ryan]

What am I doing?

[Tyler]

Well, especially after, like, after two to three days of drinking, you're just like, you have to drink double what you normally would.

[Miles]

Just.

[Ryan]

But I want to say that I probably drank them dry of everything else they had. So. Yeah. Like, when you're putting on a clinic at that scale.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You actually kind of have a sense of pride.

[Jared]

You ask for a specific beer knowing that they don't have it. Oh, weird.

[Miles]

I wonder what happened. All that.

[Ryan]

I guess we. I guess we drank it dry, huh?

[Miles]

Sorry.

[Jared]

They're like, so busy. You're just it off.

[Ryan]

Also, I was super into giving tips about tips. So at the other tent. So, like, once the free beer tent shut down, then you got to go and, like, pay for stuff. And I told the. I told the bartender, I go, why do you have. You have 10, 15, and 20 as the options. This is a country music festival. Everyone shift face. Having a great time. If you made it 15, 20, and 25. Everyone's clicking 25. You guys make 5% more tips for sure. She was like, sure. I. I wish we don't have control over that.

[Tyler]

It's like, no One knows who has control over anything around there. I feel like.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's all assumed.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

There's always a higher up that's got more say than them.

[Tyler]

Yeah. The one thing I like about about country music festivals, just like concerts in general that are year by year, is if you're talking to someone about the festival, they. They have to tell you how many times they've been there before.

[Ryan]

Oh my God. No, no, they always say, what was the first year?

[Tyler]

They went y.

[Ryan]

Okay. And that's happened to me at the beer tent. They're like, oh, hey, what?

[Miles]

Whatever.

[Ryan]

And they're like, you know, is this your first time here? I was like, no. Yeah. And then they're like 95. Whoa.

[Tyler]

No, the guy said 99. His wife looked at him, she goes, 96.

[Ryan]

I think it was. Well, then this. Then we've had. I had multiple these. Cuz someone else said 95. Then I made the joke of like, I. You were feeling alive in 95 and now you're feeling alive in 25.

[Tyler]

Yeah, good one.

[Ryan]

And yeah, like everyone that over the. Over the age of 40 was the. The first thing I do is tell you either how many years they've been or what was the first year they.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Jared]

And there hasn't been a good concert in 20 years. Like the first five years they went, that was the best time.

[Ryan]

It was.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

You also know you're. You're getting too old for a country music festival when the, the opener gets done and you're like, you're. You're mad about that. How much time is in between each act?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

When we, me and Ryan found out the first, the headliner went on at 10:30pm we were like, what the.

[Jared]

Just look at your wall.

[Ryan]

I could have swore last time I was here, the headliner went on at like nine.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And then we could be out of there by 10:30.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It's a 90 minute set too. So it's like.

[Miles]

Well then you're like two hours midnight.

[Tyler]

You're not getting out of here till one.

[Jared]

They're saying like, they're probably just waiting till it gets dark out.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Good fireworks show.

[Miles]

Probably.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Oh, all in all, good. Good to go though.

[Tyler]

Yeah. A lot of full circle moments too. You're your dad giving us a drive, giving us a ride.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

I used to give my parents a ride to concert.

[Tyler]

Yep. Yeah. And then he. I don't know, I think, you know, you. You made a joke or something. But then he threatened to. He just was gonna send you on the shuttle Bus. Yeah, from the bar down the way.

[Ryan]

He's like, I don't have to give you a run.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Great joke by him.

[Jared]

That was good.

[Tyler]

Did he want to come in? I think he. He's secretly.

[Ryan]

Oh, both my parents wanted to go see.

[Miles]

You'll be.

[Ryan]

Get.

[Miles]

You'll get to that.

[Ryan]

And what I should have said to them when I got the tickets that I wanted to bring some friends with. Well, my mom was like, are we gonna go? And I didn't say this, but what I should have said is, did you bring your parents when you guys had tickets? I didn't think of that at the time. I had to, you know, jump through hoops to get out of that scenario. But if I'd have said that, it would end a conversation.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. They wouldn't wash your kid.

[Ryan]

I'll bring you guys if you bring your parents. And, like, at what point I have to cut the cord? At some point.

[Tyler]

You do. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Been carrying the thing around for 32 years. At what point am I cutting the cord, Mom? Not every public appearance needs to have you there standing next to me.

[Jared]

So glad you didn't say that.

[Ryan]

No, I didn't. No, I said the umbilical cord one. I did tell her I'm gonna have to cut the cord at some point.

[Jared]

Gotcha.

[Ryan]

Yeah, my parents. My parents like to have a good time. That's why I think that was mostly upset as they saw a great time flash before their eyes, and they weren't able to capture it.

[Miles]

A little elderly fomo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

Just do it next year.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Tyler]

No, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

The court's cut.

[Jared]

You just can't bring him.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you can't.

[Miles]

You can't.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's not like reversing a vasectomy or something. You can't just make it.

[Ryan]

It's not. Snip, snap.

[Tyler]

No.

[Jared]

Good point. It's a lot of time.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, we'll see if I go next year.

[Miles]

We'll see if they're up for auction at the charity.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, we'll see how good the promo video is for the charity.

[Ryan]

See if it can bring me to tears.

[Jared]

Do it again in 2010.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

26. We should. We should definitely. Like, as we get next year, we should start guessing what the. What the tagline.

[Ryan]

I think they just reuse them. I feel like.

[Miles]

Might as well get your fix in 26.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Miles]

It's a drug reference. Can't do that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, there's none of that going on here. It's no clean.

[Ryan]

What. What would they. What did they do in 2012?

[Miles]

I'll look it up for you.

[Ryan]

Might have been one of those years that couldn't figure it out.

[Miles]

There was a couple years they didn't.

[Tyler]

Have it, and now they could just chat GPT and get 10 options.

[Jared]

Live in the no heaven in 2011. Oh, it was their 30th anniversary in 2012.

[Miles]

Perfect. Cop out.

[Ryan]

That's a great cop out.

[Tyler]

What does it say underneath? Like, under the hat? Sorry.

[Jared]

America's best country music festival.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Real original, huh?

[Miles]

So, yeah, what are they doing?

[Tyler]

All of the teens living the dream in 2013, then?

[Miles]

14, 15, 16, 17.

[Tyler]

Flicking the bean in 2014. Blowing off steam in 2015.

[Jared]

It's great.

[Ryan]

Could you imagine?

[Tyler]

I got another one for 2017. But I cannot say it out here.

[Ryan]

Just say he'll bleep it out.

[Tyler]

Eating vagine in 2017.

[Miles]

Damn it.

[Ryan]

You don't have to bleep that one. That wasn't even that bad.

[Tyler]

Ripping greens in 2018s. And I think 2019 was.

[Jared]

Just like, in 2014. They got really weird with it.

[Ryan]

Well, they pushed the envelope, and then they had to dial it back a little bit. So they went with. Well, what did you say?

[Tyler]

Which time?

[Ryan]

Yeah, they dialed back from flicking the bean to getting vagene.

[Jared]

They're like, I don't know about this. Got a little too crazy.

[Tyler]

We're in between in 2019.

[Jared]

There you go.

[Miles]

So.

[Ryan]

I can't believe that was. I can't believe those was their slogan.

[Tyler]

I know.

[Ryan]

That's crazy.

[Tyler]

Jesus. Talk about edgy. America's edgiest country music festival.

[Ryan]

I mean, they could. They could have if that's. If that AI country song about the girl using a corn cob and stuff.

[Jared]

You know what I'm talking about?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

If that would have been popular back then, they could have used it for flicking the bean. 2014 promotional music. Yeah. Could have used it as promo music.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Could have been Jason Aldean in 2014. When did he. He had to have headlined.

[Miles]

Headlined it like five times.

[Tyler]

They gotta cut the cord on him.

[Ryan]

Well, should we take a break?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

All right, Jared, you have a new segment for us. Explain to the people what it is and by the people, explain it to me and what we're doing.

[Jared]

So there's like a thing on Tick Tock right now. People are debating where are the four major cities in the US and what's one.

[Ryan]

What's like a quad thing that people.

[Jared]

Are going with, like, New York, New York Louisiana, Chicago. And then I've seen a lot of D.C. or San Fran as the fourth. And I've also seen Miami.

[Tyler]

I was going to say Miami.

[Ryan]

And when you say major cities, like the ones that matter the most.

[Jared]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Miles]

Like when you think of four cities, these ones.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

And like the top three in the U.S. like LA, New York, Chicago. That's pretty spot on. Yeah, I. I can't. I can't put my weight behind DC Though. It's like a foreign country. It's like the Vatican of the U.S. yeah.

[Ryan]

I can't put my wing.

[Tyler]

Yeah, right.

[Miles]

Yeah, we can't be doing that.

[Ryan]

What about like Miami? Is no one throwing that?

[Miles]

I'm cool with Miami.

[Ryan]

Miami is like a microcosm of all things American.

[Tyler]

Or even like Austin, Texas. Like give it 10 years, it might be on that list.

[Miles]

Houston.

[Tyler]

Houston. Now problem.

[Ryan]

Phoenix, Las Vegas.

[Tyler]

Las Vegas.

[Miles]

No one even lives there.

[Tyler]

Seattle.

[Miles]

Jamestown, Topeka.

[Ryan]

Billings, Montana.

[Miles]

Lake Park, Minnesota.

[Ryan]

Okay, so you want. We're doing the. The four major Midwest cities then?

[Jared]

Yep.

[Ryan]

I mean, well, I think it all depends on the metric. You know, if you're going off of the same metric, it's probably what? Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, and St. Louis.

[Miles]

Oh, oh, I'm going St. Louis out. Detroit in.

[Jared]

It's like a Detroit as well.

[Ryan]

Detroit is. I forget about Detroit once in a while.

[Miles]

Otherwise my four is the same.

[Tyler]

Wait, so are we like. Actually we're not just our own personal. Because Lincoln obviously is number one. Deadwood, South Dakota is the second major city in the Midwest.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, I guess if we're going to go off of cultural impact on the world, I think we go probably Wall, South Dakota. We go Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

We probably go.

[Jared]

Sturgis.

[Ryan]

Is that.

[Tyler]

I think we can slash it in there.

[Miles]

Yeah. Sturgis is a town, right?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Not just the name of the rally.

[Tyler]

Correct.

[Ryan]

I think Wapiton, North, Huge cultural influence. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Biggest catfish in the world there. Right in the red. Red is one of two rivers that flow north. The other one being.

[Miles]

I don't know.

[Tyler]

Or the Amazon one.

[Jared]

You didn't do your trivia voice. We didn't know what you were doing.

[Tyler]

Or the other Amazon. One of them too.

[Ryan]

I was in denial about denial. Yeah. I'm trying to think of a fourth that could even rival those four. Those three. Maybe Minot, North Dakota, because. Why not? That could be our Mount Rush. Major cities, Wall, South Dakota, Wisconsin Dells, Wabaton, North Dakota and mine on North Dakota. Two of the four are in North Dakota and everyone knows that North Dakota is the cultural epicenter of the Midwest.

[Jared]

Interpretation.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I guess I would say probably Detroit. It's a good argument for Detroit because I feel like they're a little bit more Midwest and like St. Louis kind of flirts with the South.

[Miles]

They do. I'd say it's 70, 75, 25. Midwest to south in St. Louis.

[Jared]

Yeah. And St. Louis doesn't know if it should be in the west or the East. You know, gateway to the west and all that.

[Miles]

Yeah, they're. They. They're every car direction.

[Tyler]

Is Colorado in the Midwest?

[Miles]

No, flat part.

[Ryan]

The flat part is.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Where there's no major city, Denver's out, quite literally. The Midwest runs right up to the Denver airport.

[Tyler]

Okay, that's good to know. God, I had one on the tip of my tongue.

[Miles]

I mean, are we. You can make an argument for Cleveland.

[Ryan]

No, you can't.

[Miles]

You could.

[Tyler]

What is it?

[Ryan]

What are you gonna tell me?

[Miles]

Population?

[Ryan]

If we're gonna put. If we're gonna put Cleveland in there, then we got to put Buffalo, New York, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Any Lake Erie town.

[Miles]

I think I'm happy with the four. Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit.

[Ryan]

So that's like. Yes. The major cities. What would be that? Other than those four, what are the major cities that, like, Midwesterners know as. As a big deal?

[Miles]

Duluth.

[Ryan]

Duluth. I would put maybe on there.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I think I'd put Madison, Wisconsin in there.

[Miles]

That's another great one.

[Tyler]

It's a really cool city.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

You could throw a Lincoln.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we could throw, like.

[Ryan]

Omaha is probably better.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Omaha, Des Moines.

[Miles]

Des Moines.

[Ryan]

Not bad's pretty good.

[Miles]

Des Moines.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Des Moines, Decimones, St. Louis.

[Miles]

But we'll keep in mind, I mean, honestly. Fargo.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Okay, so Fargo, Duluth, Omaha, and Des Moines.

[Tyler]

Banger Quad Madison.

[Ryan]

We're definitely B tier, right?

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah, I'd say.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we're right. So S tier is the four. First four we named a tier would be St. Louis. Green Bay's got to be on the list somewhere.

[Miles]

Yeah, but all they have is Lambeau. Green Bay is like any other suburb. If you take out Lambeau, what does Fargo have?

[Jared]

Wood chipper.

[Miles]

You're right. You're right. You're right.

[Tyler]

Green Bay is arguably, like, more notable because of the package.

[Miles]

You're right.

[Tyler]

Because it's. It's the same.

[Ryan]

So they can make it.

[Miles]

I just.

[Ryan]

St. Louis, Green Bay.

[Miles]

I just hate Green Bay. So even saying it's not St. Paul.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

That's such a cop out. They're the same thing. That is Maybe we dropped Minneapolis from the list because it. It does get a huge assist from St. Paul.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just probably go the. The Minneapolis metro area.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

The Chicago metro area. The Detroit metro area.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Minneapolis and St. Paul are Eiffel Tower in the Mississippi River.

[Miles]

That they are. That's almost the Twins logo. This is two guys shaking hands over the river.

[Ryan]

Crazy guys.

[Tyler]

Clean it up. This isn't Patreon for crisis.

[Miles]

They're just missing a third party. And then that's the over the min.

[Ryan]

I think we're also forgetting. I think a tier is also cancer. Kansas City.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

Green bay, Kansas City, St. Louis.

[Miles]

Kansas City and St. Louis. Aren't they. They're super close to each other. Right across.

[Ryan]

They're. They're completely on the opposite sides of the state.

[Jared]

I feel like if your city has really good barbecue, it's not Midwest.

[Miles]

That weirdly makes sense.

[Jared]

Kansas City has great barbecue.

[Miles]

That's true.

[Jared]

St. Louis has great barbecue.

[Ryan]

So what? We're running out of cities, Jared, we're running out of cities.

[Tyler]

Can we pull a map up?

[Ryan]

Just what we're forgetting about Indianapolis, too. Indianapolis.

[Miles]

Oh, yeah. That's in.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. Indianapolis, Green Bay, St. Louis, Kansas City. That's a tier.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Miles]

Springfield.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

We're gonna unintentionally piss so many people.

[Ryan]

No, I just. I've never been to Springfield.

[Miles]

How big is Lansing? Michigan.

[Jared]

That's where Michigan State is. I think that it's that big.

[Miles]

Kirk Cousins.

[Ryan]

I've been to Grand Rapids before.

[Miles]

Me too.

[Jared]

Columbus is cool.

[Ryan]

Columbus is better than Cleveland. I feel like I'd agree.

[Miles]

What about Cincinnati?

[Jared]

It's like Kentucky. Cincinnati. I don't think you can.

[Ryan]

Plus they have Chile. Yeah, I. I stand by it. I stand by what I said.

[Tyler]

What's the final final?

[Ryan]

We got the S tier. A tier is Indianapolis, Green Bay, St. Louis, Kansas City, B tier Fargo, James Madison, Des Moines, Duluth, and Duluth. Wait, I thought we had.

[Miles]

We had Omaha.

[Ryan]

Omaha.

[Miles]

Omaha was in on the last one. Madison was out. But I would disagree with that, Madison being in. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I would agree, too.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, you could go. You could go anywhere with Des Moines.

[Jared]

And West Des Moines.

[Tyler]

I can understand the argument, though, about, you know, especially across the US we're having a tough time nailing it down and.

[Miles]

But see, we have skin in the game because we're from here.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

We have loyalty to certain places.

[Tyler]

That's true.

[Jared]

Like Wall Drug.

[Miles]

Yeah, like Wall. Wall. Not being at least B tier is an absolute sin by us.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It's a disrespect.

[Miles]

To the reptile gardens, honestly, in the mystery Caves.

[Jared]

And then whatever town has the dueling strip clubs, we'll throw that.

[Tyler]

Freeman or north of Freeman.

[Ryan]

Haven't we talked about that on the pod yet?

[Miles]

Some guy we talked about on Patreon.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And some guy on Patreon is actively trying. He's hunting for them.

[Ryan]

So we were in Freeman, South Dakota, doing a bar video. While we were there, they just kept telling us how. They're like, have you been to the two strip clubs? And we're like, no. What are you talking about? They're like, if you just drive north, whatever, a year, there's a small town with two strip clubs. They duel against each other because a brother and sister used to own the strip club together. There was a fight. So then either the brother or the sister opened up a strip club directly across the street, and we're competing with them. And so therefore, you have dueling strip clubs across the street in bum Town in South Dakota, and it's apparently the biggest tourist attraction this side of Waldron.

[Miles]

Guy was saying they fly in strippers from Vegas for pheasant hunters.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. That's a common thing in South Dakota, for sure. So, yeah, I. I probably would recommend, if you do want to go there, go in pheasant season in the fall.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Not to confuse it with the dueling pianos, either. That's a different.

[Ryan]

They may have dueling pianos.

[Tyler]

They probably do.

[Miles]

That could be an act.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

They just have a pole going.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they're dueling. The dueling poles.

[Miles]

Yeah. Tickle the ivories.

[Ryan]

But yeah, we. We never made it there, and we. But we just heard a lot of hearsay about it.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So we were also trying to figure out if they were just pulling our leg or no. But if anyone knows anything about these dueling strip clubs in South Dakota, north of Freeman.

[Miles]

Yeah. And which is. There's a lot of South Dakota, and that's north of Freeman. And that's. That's. That's all we got for.

[Ryan]

That's basically the directions my dad will give trying to get to a job site.

[Miles]

Ye. Yep.

[Ryan]

Hey, where are we going today? Oh, you know that south of Costco, and you're like, oh, yeah, I guess I'll just drive around town south of Costco and hope I run into it.

[Jared]

Before the dead end.

[Miles]

Yeah. Thanks.

[Ryan]

You remember that house in 2017 that we did? Remember it had the buttresses on the outside? Remember we had to redo the one foot? Oh, yeah. I know exactly where you're talking.

[Jared]

It has a Backyard and a driveway.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So, yeah, I think we got it.

[Miles]

I think so.

[Jared]

Everybody will be happy with it.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, I'm sure. No, no, no one, no one will be upset that we left their town out.

[Tyler]

Great fried chicken in Kadoka. You guys ever been there? Gas station in Kadoki.

[Ryan]

No.

[Tyler]

South Dakota.

[Jared]

Oh, it's South Dakota.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Coming back from Deadwood. Next time you guys have to stop.

[Miles]

Is that where you stole the washcloth?

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, no, that was. That was right before Rapid City. Coming from Custer.

[Miles]

Gotcha.

[Tyler]

Snag those.

[Ryan]

What's the town? What's the town? That's the island in Iowa that we went to.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Could be sea tier.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Great town.

[Miles]

It was. Great island life in Iowa.

[Tyler]

Were you on island time there? Are you still on Central Time Island 100, 5 o'.

[Ryan]

Clock. All the clocks at 5 o'.

[Miles]

Clock.

[Tyler]

That's a great idea.

[Jared]

Nothing. Good stuff.

[Ryan]

I literally. It was, it was probably like 11am right before I crossed over the the bridge. And then when we got in there, my phone just switched to five o' clock and stayed on it the whole time we were there.

[Tyler]

The island boys there.

[Miles]

They. We just missed them. Sure they were there.

[Tyler]

So.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Nice. Tyler, I hear you have a problem.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yep. I my.

[Ryan]

We're here to solve it.

[Miles]

Okay. Thank you.

[Ryan]

Welcome.

[Miles]

Spoilers. I solved it myself.

[Ryan]

Okay, well, but what's the point of.

[Tyler]

This is a podcast and we like to break things down here. How to solve stuff.

[Miles]

I was in a two week long battle with a basketball sized yellow jacket nest. And I did everything I possibly could to get rid of that nest besides just calling a professional. Two weeks ago, I was mowing the lawn. I go behind my house and I get absolutely swarmed by yellow jackets. And I noticed it's in between my boys bedroom windows right on the house. It's this monster ass nest. And I'm like, well, I got to get rid of this thing or I can't mow the backyard or I'm going to get mobbed every time. So I have this roof rake for breaking snow off of your roof in the winter so it doesn't collapse. So I, I hooked that baby up and I rip about half of this thing down and they just swarm like crazy.

[Ryan]

I'm like, what'd you think was gonna happen?

[Miles]

I knew I. The thing is like 60ft long. So I was nowhere near it.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

Got it completely planned out. And I'm like, all right. I knocked half their home down. They're gonna leave. They're done. They're gonna go away. They just kept rebuilding the goddamn nest.

[Ryan]

So don't you just go to the store and buy that spray?

[Miles]

Yep, I did that. And I soaked the out. So I. First of all, I have my own beekeeper outfit that I've been wearing. I got.

[Tyler]

Get the out of here.

[Miles]

I. I just. I tuck my. I wear my sweatpants tucked into my socks.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

It's not.

[Tyler]

It's not like.

[Ryan]

Oh, I thought.

[Miles]

Yeah, no, just that one later on. Homemade beekeeper outfit. Pants tucked into the socks, sweatshirt tucked into the pants. Hood up, gator up to my nose, and glasses and work gloves. So that's what I'm attacking these things in.

[Ryan]

I just want to let you know, if someone try. If a beast tries to sting you in the face while you're wearing a gator, it'll just go right through the gate.

[Miles]

Yeah. But it makes me feel better that they'll land in the gator first. And there's just at least some sort of line of protection.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Miles]

So I get real close to these things because it says it shoots 20ft. It shoots like 12 when you're aiming straight up into the air. So I still had to get right next to this thing. I soaked it once, completely drenched the hive, and they kept rebuilding. Didn't kill all of them. So all my research is like, you need to kill the queen or you're never going to get rid of this nest. It's just gonna. They're gonna attract yellow dragons from other hives.

[Tyler]

Do yjs die after they sting you?

[Miles]

No, they sting repeatedly. And so there was. There were moments where I was standing under this thing, covering my face with my free hand, spraying while they were just bombarding my fucking hood. And it sounded like rain. So I pulled out every trick in the book. I was throwing footballs at this fucking thing. I was whacking at it with sticks.

[Tyler]

Did you hit it with a football at all?

[Miles]

Once.

[Tyler]

Did it knock it down?

[Miles]

No, those suckers are on there.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

At one point, I got a zip tie and put it around my hose sprayer and then rigged the hose up so that it was just constantly spraying the beehive and thinking that that would soak it and it would drop down. That didn't work either. So finally I just said. Yesterday, I just said, fuck it. I bought two more B bombs, and I dropped. I took some sections off my roof rake, so I had a little more control on it. And I was like, I'm going to go over there and I'm going to attack this thing until either all these yellow jackets die or I die.

[Ryan]

So it just seems so extreme.

[Miles]

I just, I couldn't get rid of them. I'm not going to call someone to come remove them. I'm not paying somebody 500 bucks for that.

[Ryan]

Most Midwest dad I've ever heard. So I'm either going to kill them all or they're going to kill me. So I don't have to spend $120 for someone to come remove it. It's 100, but I'll spend two full weeks of my life.

[Miles]

It was $100 to just get them to come to my house. And then probably said at minimum to get them.

[Ryan]

I get it.

[Miles]

So I go back there at the roof rag. I. I dual wield my two cans of bee spray and I just soaked the shit out of them. They're swarming, they're super pissed. I take the roof rake and I just sat there and scraped. And they're all up in my face. And I got my head down in my fucking chest and I finally got all of it except for like, literally looks like somebody splattered my house with mud. So the whole thing's down.

[Tyler]

They got the foundation still, though, they're going to be back to rebuild that fucker.

[Miles]

So I. I'll get there. So I got all the chunks of the beehive and even the chunks that I've been knocking down for the two weeks. And I'm like, fuck you. I finally got it. It's done. I looked down. They had started building a ground nest on the chunks that I had already knocked off. So I just. I literally just did the hokey pokey and just started stomping all these beehive pieces. And I found the queen. She was literally. It was like out of a movie. It was just me and her looking at each other. She was three times the size of the other yellow jackets. And I squished her and then just ran because I had them in my, like the folds of my sweatshirt.

[Tyler]

You didn't torture her?

[Miles]

I did not torture her. I put her out of her misery.

[Ryan]

Good question.

[Tyler]

I would have thought, well, for the amount. For the amount of mental damage. For the amount of mental damage it caused you, I would have been ripping legs off and then wings.

[Miles]

And I didn't want to get stalled.

[Ryan]

Homicidal triad.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Loves fire. Would be tearing apart the. The queen yellow jacket. Now we just need to get an ocular pat down of his sheets, see if he's wet in the bed. If so, I. I think we Got to put you on a list of some sort.

[Tyler]

I'm not killing animals and mountain them though. Well, yeah, of course not mounting that.

[Miles]

Are you talking about?

[Tyler]

I'm not, I'm not mounting them myself.

[Ryan]

I'm.

[Tyler]

I. I send that off somewhere else.

[Miles]

Yeah, but it's not the dissecting of dead animals. It's cruelty to the live ones. Sure is. The. Is part of the triad. So then the Internet told me to soak every possible thing left with WD40. So I got a ladder, I soaked the remnants in WD40, I soaked the ground in WD40, and then I pulled the. What was left of the beehive off towards the woods and I ran it over with the lawnmower a couple of times. Nice.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

My first thought is, how do you and I have the same amount of time in a day? And you and you have three children. Yeah. How. How do you have this much time? Like, because this isn't. It'd be like off. This is one saga, but you got a saga every week.

[Miles]

Yeah, I. I mean, I have more stories for you guys I can share too.

[Ryan]

But like, when are you doing all this? Are you waking up super early? Are you out there till 10pm? What's going on?

[Miles]

Because, I mean, we're outside.

[Ryan]

I get home from work, I eat dinner and I like, hang out with my kid until he goes to bed. And then when he goes to bed, I'm like, all right, I'll go to bed.

[Miles]

I don't. I get home at like 6:30. I eat supper and I hang out with my kids. And then I do whatever I want after that.

[Ryan]

Okay, so this is happening from the time of what, 7:30, 8:00 on.

[Miles]

Most of the bee shenanigans were happening right around sunset because that's when they're the least amount of least active. And I can still see what I'm doing because the Internet says that if I go out there in the middle of the night when they're dead asleep, I'll need a flashlight. And the flashlight will wake them up and they'll be attracted to it.

[Ryan]

That's where. That's why we maybe need to get you some night vision goggles.

[Miles]

That would, that would have really came in handy.

[Tyler]

Give you a spotlight that you can put up like 50 yards away.

[Miles]

Send them the other way.

[Tyler]

Correct.

[Miles]

But that's another thing too. Like with the bee spray, it would kill on contact, so I needed to keep them there. I didn't want to scare them away when I came in with The B.

[Tyler]

Bombs, where's the hole that they go into their nest at? Is it on the front bottom?

[Miles]

Yeah, front bottom, exactly.

[Tyler]

So and you didn't, you didn't think of any like minor explosives? Okay, long fuse.

[Miles]

If my didn't work.

[Tyler]

Well, that way you can get it up in there, keep the fuse hanging down. Yeah, pretty much.

[Miles]

So I saw a video. This guy, he had a.

[Ryan]

He had explosive on the side of his house.

[Tyler]

Just an. No. But it's going to explain the brunt of it is going to be inside of. Of the nest below.

[Ryan]

His kids are asleep and he's just blowing holes in the side of his kid's bedroom.

[Miles]

That was another problem. I couldn't.

[Ryan]

All the fucking yellow jackets just swarm in his kid's bedroom.

[Tyler]

I mean, I hope he didn't have the window open.

[Miles]

No, no, no.

[Ryan]

I'm saying he blow a hole. The silence.

[Jared]

And I'm 80.

[Ryan]

Oh no. And then they go inside. The wall of the maybe doesn't blow all the way through, but it goes inside. So now he's just got yellow jacket nest. It's a tear out the whole thing.

[Miles]

That was a genuine fear of mine that they were like, make the nest in the soffit.

[Jared]

Yeah, that would suck.

[Miles]

Go. So that was actually a problem. Like I couldn't use the roof rake if the boys were already asleep because this thing was right outside their window and it made a ton of noise and I wasn't gonna risk that. So that's where like the footballs and came in. I was just like throwing footballs at it from the side.

[Ryan]

So that's way quieter than that.

[Miles]

It was because it's metal on metal when I was scraping at it. But yeah, I've, I've completely eliminated the bees. But your firework thing, I saw a video and this was, this was plan zeta, like the last ditch Hail Mary. This guy had a ladder and he took this pipe and he, he threaded the pipe through the ladder so it was aiming directly at the beehive. And then he lit not a, like a bigger bottle rocket through the pipe and it sticks in the beehive and fucking blows it up. So that's. That was the last plan.

[Ryan]

So yellow jackets, they're different than bees, right?

[Miles]

Yeah, they're a very aggressive.

[Ryan]

So because it's like I've watched the videos of the gal coming and like taking beehives and going and like replacing them other places if it was.

[Miles]

Yeah, I could have called like a local beekeeper and they could have would have taken them if they Were bees. That's them.

[Ryan]

Yellow because you got somewhat more of an invasive species of beef.

[Miles]

Yeah. I don't know if they're pollinators even.

[Ryan]

But they're just so we don't have to save the yellow jackets.

[Miles]

No, because you got bees.

[Tyler]

Yellow jackets.

[Ryan]

Wasps.

[Tyler]

Hornets.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Jared]

Paper wasps.

[Tyler]

Huh. You gotta save the honeybees, though.

[Jared]

Honeybeams. Honeybees have a dump truck on them.

[Tyler]

Yes, they do.

[Miles]

And they're a little fuzzy.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

So I knew they were yellowjacks because I got a really good picture of one because the first time I messed with them, they were like on the screens on our back house.

[Ryan]

So I got like right up next.

[Miles]

To him, got a super nice picture just to make sure because I didn't want to actually kill Hong Kong.

[Tyler]

Do you have a picture of the nest?

[Miles]

I don't know, but I have a picture of a yellow jacket if you want that.

[Tyler]

No, I got one right here.

[Ryan]

Huh.

[Miles]

So that's what I've been up to. That's what my evenings have been. It's just didn't get stung one time.

[Ryan]

You'd think Tyler like moved to middle of nowhere, Montana with how much wildlife he's got to deal with these days. Yeah.

[Jared]

Is there an update on the bear? Tyler?

[Miles]

I think he's gone. I think he finally figured his out and moved along.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Miles]

Haven't seen him in a while.

[Tyler]

It was a boy.

[Miles]

I'm. I don't know. I didn't get a good look at his genitals.

[Tyler]

Hog.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It's not a fist bump.

[Miles]

Yeah. At all.

[Tyler]

It's not a hog. It's a bear we're dealing with here.

[Jared]

Gotcha. That's pretty good, man.

[Ryan]

Well, Dollary, what else you got going on? It says. It also says you got something else coming up this weekend. What do you got a infestation of anteaters at your house. So you're gonna need maybe some woodchucks, some sort. What else you got going on?

[Miles]

Non wildlife related, but I'm having a rummage sale. Three day rummage sale.

[Tyler]

Where do you keep getting this stuff?

[Ryan]

Dude, you can't use this podcast for you to sell your trinkets.

[Miles]

Hey, so if anyone needs some trinkets, you can come over to my house.

[Ryan]

Yeah, go ahead. Why don't you say where your address is if you really. Actually, you know what?

[Miles]

Let's promote it if you're in the area.

[Ryan]

Can only promote it if you tell everyone what your address is.

[Miles]

No, they can DM me for it.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

Yeah. If you're if you're truly in the area and want to buy some shit.

[Ryan]

So what are you selling? Fucking what?

[Miles]

So much, baby.

[Ryan]

Your wood swords. What's going on? This a way to use for you to get into the wood sword market.

[Tyler]

Is this a larping convention at your house?

[Miles]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the Renaissance fair big news. Got completely destroyed this year because of a storm. Could have it at your house.

[Miles]

Tyler, tell everybody.

[Ryan]

Bring your wooden swords.

[Miles]

There's live jousting at my rummage sale.

[Ryan]

Did you see that news I heard?

[Jared]

I just saw the headline. I didn't read it though.

[Ryan]

Yeah, canceled. Everything got destroyed.

[Jared]

Flash floods cancel cultures get out of control.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They're even canceling Renaissance fairs.

[Tyler]

Oh, God.

[Miles]

No, but I noticed something. I was. I'm such a. Like a spaz about some certain things. Like, yeah, we can sell that. Get rid of it. Get rid of it. Declutter, declutter. Then there's other things that serve zero purpose that I'm like, maybe we should hang on to that. I E. I E. Like I went through my golf polos yesterday and there's two polos that I have not worn since the day I bought them. They're like, I can't get rid of that. I bought that at this course. Every time I look at it, I think of that golf round and then there's like 102. I shot. I shot a 113 that day, but it was cool.

[Ryan]

I hit a hole in five.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

On that course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hit a hole in five on that par three. I gotta keep that.

[Miles]

But like, I got a polo when we played TPC Scottsdale. I haven't worn that polo since that summer. But I'm not gonna sell that.

[Ryan]

Well, you know. Yeah, just cut. Just cut the logo off of it and put that in a little shadow.

[Jared]

And then sell the shirt.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

Just one nip lights a male nursing shirt. One nip hanging out.

[Ryan]

So you're selling clothes.

[Miles]

A lot of clothes.

[Ryan]

That's the type of rubbish sale everyone loves going to, is one that's only clothes.

[Miles]

I'm selling a. A TV set. I don't know what you call it. Coffee table, bench table and end tables.

[Ryan]

I. And I don't want this to sound mean, Tyler, but if you are selling it, it's either got to be really ugly, it's pretty, or not work at all. I feel like you're a guy who likes to repurpose stuff.

[Miles]

So its main issue is that the corners are the most sharp things in the world. And my one Year old has bonked his head on it a billion times. And so if you sell one, you sell the set.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you saw that. You saw that B board heater.

[Miles]

Actually, I am.

[Tyler]

You try to make money on it?

[Miles]

No, it's going up for the exact price I paid for it.

[Ryan]

Aren't you in the middle of nowhere.

[Miles]

Okay, so you're gonna have to put.

[Ryan]

Up some signs like six miles away from your house.

[Miles]

So it's. I live right in the middle of a bunch of like destination lakes. And all the three lakes are having a lake wide rummage sale weekend.

[Jared]

Oh, nice.

[Miles]

And we're right in between all of them, so I figured we're gonna get traffic from that.

[Ryan]

You're putting. You putting Craig. Put it on Craigslist too, because that's where people will go.

[Miles]

Marketplace. Craigslist.

[Ryan]

Make sure you put some good items in the photos. Get people there.

[Miles]

Baseboard immediately.

[Ryan]

What time you open in Friday?

[Miles]

We're open at 3 o'. Clock. Go till 8 and then all day Saturday and Sunday probably.

[Ryan]

What time?

[Miles]

Seven to seven.

[Ryan]

Because like a lot of times people open at like 7am and then that they get their big rush of people because people want to get in there and get the good stuff.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So it might be a competitive advantage to be opening at 3 and that's 7am so all the people can still get good stuff.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Jared]

Maybe you can rent an ATM machine and charge like a five, five dollar convenience.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, it's a good idea.

[Miles]

Yeah. I'd probably just take Venmo first, but.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you got to get your kids out out there selling golf ball used golf balls. Buck a piece.

[Miles]

Yep. We got the golf ball bucket ready to go.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Treats too.

[Miles]

Yeah, we're thinking about that. But I. I gotta be man in the regular till and I don't trust my 5 year old to make accurate change if some hard ass actually asks him.

[Ryan]

What about your wife?

[Miles]

She's working. Oh, no. Okay, so I'm manning this thing solo with the kids.

[Ryan]

With three kids.

[Jared]

Well, you can go.

[Ryan]

What can go wrong?

[Miles]

Grandma. Grandma's come. Grandma's coming to hang out with the kids and help me out. But.

[Ryan]

What you should do is price everything a little high and then put out a sign that says negotiating is allowed. And then you'll just sell for what you would have normally listed it and they'll walk away feeling good.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Do that. No, like what Amazon does on prime day. Keep it at the same price, but then they jack the price up and then slash it and it's wrecked to the normal price.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yep. I gotta. I got a sign ready to go. It just says make an offer.

[Ryan]

Every great. Every good rummage garage sale has got to have three high ticket items.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Three items that gets people in the door, you know, what are your three items? Okay, so someone's gonna show up to this rummage sale. What are they, what are they showing up for?

[Miles]

So that, that set of furniture is actually pretty nice.

[Ryan]

Okay. It's.

[Miles]

I do think it's probably going to be a 65 year old woman that buys it. It' hairstyle and how much thing you.

[Ryan]

Can get for it?

[Miles]

200 bucks. It's five piece set.

[Ryan]

What a deal.

[Miles]

It's. It's all. It's all oak with glass insets on the tables.

[Ryan]

Okay. What a deal.

[Jared]

You have no idea what it looks like.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean it's oak. There's glass insets.

[Miles]

Yeah. And then a ton of unused baby clothes because you know, you have three kids, they keep getting new, they outgrow before they can even wear this stuff.

[Ryan]

What you need to do, you don't want. You don't want people clogging up the sex by rifling through, you know. Plus it like looks pretty messy. So what you need to do is you need to just go like five dollar mystery bags, put the sizes on there. Then they just buy and there's like five items in there. They get them for a buck a piece and then they, you know, just do it. Like just get it. Get rid of them.

[Miles]

Yeah, that, that's. It's too late. But that is a good idea.

[Ryan]

What do you mean it's too late?

[Miles]

It's set up. It's. We've got it set up. It's in the garage.

[Ryan]

What if it rains?

[Miles]

It's in the garage. And then we have sheets over everything so it doesn't get dusty while it's in there.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

If I was doing this sale and we were opening at 3, I would be still getting it ready at 2:30.

[Miles]

Well, we.

[Ryan]

That's crazy. I mean it's great for you guys, but I. Wow.

[Miles]

My wife has to work.

[Ryan]

I thought you're still in the planning.

[Miles]

No, wait. It's planned and ready. All I got to do is open the garage. Garage door. We're rocking.

[Tyler]

Let's go.

[Ryan]

I do recommend getting them out of the garage door if it's nice out because it's weird being in someone else's garage. Plus natural light's gonna look better on all the items.

[Tyler]

Make sure when someone comes up to you turn your Back because no one likes to be washed looking at stuff.

[Miles]

I'm gonna start right after us.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Let's see.

[Miles]

That's tough.

[Ryan]

Buy that their asses.

[Miles]

Yeah. Yep.

[Ryan]

Shows up.

[Miles]

I have my own beer. I don't plan on selling it.

[Tyler]

Well, you just give it, give it out.

[Ryan]

What you need to do is every purchase comes with a free beer.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

That you're gonna increase your amount of customers.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Every, every order over 15 you get a free beer. Then you can. If someone gets the $12 they're gonna tack on it because you're trying to move stuff.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah. I, I think our plan, we're pricing high day one. And if doesn't move day one, we'll decrease it as we go because we also live right across the street from a church. So Sunday we're getting that church crowd. There's no doubt about it. So I'm not worried. If there's a lot of inventory left.

[Tyler]

On Sunday they could hold mass in your. In your yard.

[Miles]

Yep. Might as well.

[Ryan]

Not a bad.

[Tyler]

They could get a few people on that five piece set. Bulk glass inlets.

[Miles]

If that's still there insets on Sunday. It won't be Sunday at 11 o'. Clock. Not a chance some old church couple will buy that.

[Ryan]

Okay, so you got the, the table set. 200 bucks. What else? What's your other two big items?

[Miles]

A lot of good baby is what? Like it's not an item per se, but it is a category of items that is in high demand.

[Ryan]

Okay. All right. And how much if you sold the lot for it right now, Someone just said hey, I want all your baby clothes. How much you think you're getting?

[Miles]

It's going to be 400 bucks worth of 400 bucks. OK. Like I, I bought it.

[Ryan]

Probably sell about 30% of it. So it's 10, 40, 120 bucks where the baby clothes are getting sold. Yep. What's your third item?

[Miles]

What would be the highest ticket? I have a weed whacker. Weed whacker for sale.

[Ryan]

Okay. Does it work?

[Miles]

Yeah, works great. It's just small.

[Ryan]

How much you looking for it for?

[Miles]

25 bucks.

[Ryan]

Okay. So your three ticket big ticket items are now equaling $345 worth it.

[Miles]

Two hours of work then just sit there and say hi to people.

[Ryan]

Okay. I like it.

[Miles]

It's a hundred bucks an hour.

[Tyler]

Well not for the setup though.

[Miles]

Setup was ready. Setup was like two hours.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And then we didn't price things individually.

[Ryan]

We just put eight, five hours. Then another 12 hour day at 17 hours. And then how many hours? Sunday, you think?

[Miles]

Six, maybe. But I'm not counting that. I'd be at home anyway.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

Passive income, Pretty active. Passive income.

[Jared]

Actively passive income.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, it's just income.

[Ryan]

Passively active at the stand.

[Miles]

And because we didn't hear the move is to not price everything individually unless it's something like the weed whacker for baby clothes. You just put a sign up that says $2 unless marked otherwise, and then you put $4 on the brand new.

[Jared]

Have you done a rubber sale before, Tyler?

[Miles]

It's been a few years. Because the last neighborhood I lived in, our landlords, the renters were like, you cannot do rubbish sales in our properties.

[Jared]

And did you learn anything from this one that you're going to take away for this next one?

[Miles]

I priced things too low at the last one.

[Ryan]

You.

[Miles]

A lot of people were like, serious.

[Ryan]

That's never a good feeling. Yeah, that's where I'm looking at. You making, you know, 345 bucks on your three biggest items, and you got to jack up that.

[Miles]

So we got all other kinds of. But those are like the biggest individual. I guess the baby clothes doesn't count as individual. But, like, I got a ton of my clothes. I have.

[Ryan]

I say if a weed whacker works great, just put. Instead of doing 25, do like 45.

[Miles]

And then. Yeah, yeah, it's.

[Ryan]

It.

[Miles]

It's just really tiny weed whacker. Just the teeniest, itty bitty.

[Ryan]

Is it a ball trimmer or. What kind of weed whacker are we talking here?

[Tyler]

I mean, it's a lot.

[Ryan]

The lawnmower, 3.0 or whatever, say, manscaped.

[Miles]

On, like, you got to be 5 foot 5 to use this thing comfortably. Because, like, when I weed whack that.

[Ryan]

Thing, you're looking for, like a guy who's like your grandpa's size.

[Miles]

Exactly.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

The weed whacker was built for him and Anderson. Yeah.

[Ryan]

It was built for people who were born before 1950 who will be at.

[Miles]

My house right after church service on.

[Jared]

Sunday or the deal.

[Miles]

Yep, I'm getting rid of a shitload of hats, which was. I would just. I got caught in the right mood one day and actually cleared out the hat box.

[Ryan]

So here's the thing. You say you're gonna get rid of all these hats, you're gonna sell, like, 10 of them. So what's the plan with all the. You don't sell. That's what happens with clothes. Rummage sales is like, you just. Because there are a bunch of clothes that you didn't want to put on your kid. There's gonna be a bunch of clothes that. You know what I mean?

[Miles]

No. So the baby clothes, unless we're my personal clothes and like my wife's clothes, we put those on there for a very obvious reason that they either suck or whatever baby clothes will move. I bet you 50 of it'll go okay. And then the hats, probably 10 to 20.

[Ryan]

How much? How much? How much sweat stains we talking you throw to the wash.

[Miles]

There's a lot of good in the hats because it's a lot of stuff that like we get sent for like. Like golf hat companies that I wear twice. And then they're in really good shape, but there's some gross ones.

[Ryan]

What's the biggest thing you're worried about happening?

[Tyler]

Yellow jackets coming back.

[Miles]

Yeah, actually, nightmare that would be.

[Tyler]

Someone would have paid a 100 bucks for that yellow jacket nest. If you get a salvage it.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

The queen is like in the baby clothes.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Her legs are ripped off so she can't get away.

[Tyler]

Trophy box.

[Ryan]

He opens the garage on Friday afternoon and just yellow jackets come swarming out.

[Jared]

Oh, fuck.

[Miles]

I don't know. The worst thing that could happen is it rains all weekend and nobody comes.

[Ryan]

That would suck. Then you got next weekend.

[Miles]

Yeah, just.

[Tyler]

Just do it every weekend. Just leave it set up.

[Jared]

Ever.

[Tyler]

Do it every weekend until you got gone.

[Ryan]

I actually think the worst thing that can happen is if the. The rummage sale bandits show up and hold you at gunpoint, Take all your and the money in the till and you have nothing. That would probably be the worst.

[Miles]

That would be worse. Yes. Everyone knows the rubbish sale bandits.

[Jared]

Oh, it's the rubbish sale.

[Ryan]

Kids. Get inside.

[Miles]

Give them your golf balls.

[Ryan]

They just come in with a giant trailer and just start taking all your and boxing it up while a guy stands there.

[Miles]

While you slowly load my whole rummage sale up.

[Tyler]

They leave the weed whacker because it's too short.

[Miles]

Yeah. They're like, we don't want this one.

[Ryan]

We don't want this toy weed whacker.

[Jared]

Fisher Price.

[Ryan]

But also like, then it would just be like kind of like you just donated.

[Miles]

Right, guys?

[Ryan]

So like, actually that probably wouldn't be like the worst. Yeah, it's like, like free delivery of all your. To the. To the boys and girls ranch or whatever.

[Miles]

Yeah, no, this is actually. That's way better than getting rained out. I can just claim insurance at that point.

[Ryan]

You. You have rummage sale insurance?

[Miles]

I have property insurance for thet breaking and entering a house held at gunpoint.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's true.

[Jared]

But you technically sold all that.

[Miles]

No, none of it was sold. It was still in my property.

[Tyler]

You gotta get that B board heater. Sold. Just tell them a 12 volt plug in not included. Put a sign on.

[Miles]

Yeah, most. Probably most people will know, but I'll remind them just in case.

[Jared]

They're like go.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, I. I lost the, the car charger for it, so. Yeah, just have to get a new one of those.

[Miles]

I did see.

[Ryan]

What's your signs going to look like? You doing anything fancy?

[Miles]

No. I have your classic plastic one that's orange and yellow and black.

[Tyler]

Can you read it?

[Miles]

Yeah. And then I have a big ass one that's made out of plywood. My uncle has rumage sale weekends like once a month. So I have his signs. Big plywood thing. He does it where he goes to thrift stores and finds that's priced too low and then buys it and then resells it at Rubber. So he's like you, except he doesn't know how to work ebay.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I don't want to have to deal with people that's so much work.

[Ryan]

It's a lot of work.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

All right, well, good luck this weekend, Tyler.

[Miles]

I'm gonna come back next weekend a rich man.

[Ryan]

He might make so much money he might not even show up on Monday.

[Miles]

If I'm not here on Monday, you know why?

[Jared]

The Bandits.

[Tyler]

Should we swing out?

[Ryan]

We could.

[Miles]

Yeah, come on over. Make an offer.

[Ryan]

Swing.

[Tyler]

I'll see if there's anything. Anything owned by the company that's being sold on.

[Ryan]

Oh, God. I can't imagine how much company property is getting sold at this thing.

[Miles]

Trying to think. I think I have a couple. You bet you have that.

[Ryan]

I have two of MacBook, probably 24 to 70 millimeter lens listed on there on the table.

[Miles]

There's a. There's a couple you bet you T shirts that I have repeats of.

[Ryan]

There's a. There's a golf simulator listed on there.

[Miles]

Must pick up in Horace, North Dakota.

[Ryan]

Now we could swing out there. We could also swing by his bunker, check it out, see if he's still got it all prepped.

[Miles]

It stays prepped.

[Tyler]

If I got some I want you to sell. Can, Can I, can I bring it, Can I bring it to you?

[Miles]

Yeah, actually, yeah, if you want.

[Tyler]

You can have 50.

[Miles]

Sure. My. I have a bunch of my sister's stuff and my grandparents stuff on it too.

[Ryan]

That's going to be a lot of work keeping track of who.

[Miles]

No, they. They said if we price it and we sell it. We get the money. They just try. They donated to us, basically.

[Ryan]

Oh, they're chill, man. Yeah, you're good.

[Miles]

Good. Yeah.

[Tyler]

I don't know. You're so chill like that.

[Ryan]

I don't know. Your family's just so chill like that.

[Miles]

Now, you know, but yeah, Ryan, 50% is fair. You can drop it off. You let me make the choice on negotiating or is the price firm?

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's always firm.

[Ryan]

Okay, that's not what I thought he was going to say.

[Tyler]

It's always firm.

[Miles]

That's. That's my line, though. If somebody tries to lowball me, like, that's actually not mine, so I can't budge on the price.

[Tyler]

That's a good idea.

[Jared]

That's a good move.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Selling that for a friend. So I can't move on it, man.

[Ryan]

Really want it, though.

[Miles]

Yeah. I'm sorry, you'd have to pay me full price. I mean, you can give them a call if you want, but who wants to do that?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'll do it. I really want it.

[Miles]

Okay. And then I'll have to. Ryan, if somebody gives you a call this weekend, just tell them the price is firm.

[Jared]

Say permanent hang up.

[Miles]

Yeah, I budget.

[Ryan]

Firm. Firm. Now you let it go to voicemail. Change. Just for this weekend, change your voicemail greeting. If you're calling about. And then you list about. List all of the things, every single item. The price is firm.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

If you're anyone else, please leave a message after. It's like the song Austin.

[Jared]

And then say like at the end of the voice, blow your. You're grieving and going to a funeral so they feel bad for you.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

This is going towards my second great aunt, my great aunt's sister's.

[Miles]

Funeral. If you're, if you're calling to lowball me on the weed whacker. First of all, how dare you? I'm on my way to a funeral. Second of all, it's firm.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Where. Yeah, I couldn't be any more firm.

[Miles]

If it's anybody else, so great to hear from you. Leave me a message.

[Ryan]

And if you're calling about that mattress that's there. One, it's firm, and two, it's firm. It's a double firmed mattress.

[Miles]

Ah. There's a mattress topper on the sale if anyone wants a memory foam topper.

[Ryan]

Is it firm?

[Miles]

No, very soft.

[Ryan]

Okay. So we can negotiate.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

See, that's, that's why I don't sell mattress related things because it gets very confusing on firm or soft. What's negotiable and what's not.

[Tyler]

Whose mattress did it come off of?

[Miles]

Mine.

[Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Miles]

A lot of sex on it.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[Miles]

Broke it in three times.

[Ryan]

Well, we know he doesn't pull out, so it's probably clean.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I'll bring my black light and inspect it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Do you allow black lighting or.

[Miles]

Yeah, go for it.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Miles]

Yep. Some people are in front of everybody. Can you shut the garage doors quick?

[Tyler]

What are you going to buy with your profits?

[Miles]

I'll probably pay the electric bill or something stupid. Get a. Get a month free of electricity.

[Jared]

That's nice.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

How high is your electric bill? Jesus.

[Miles]

It's actually pretty high.

[Ryan]

Why?

[Miles]

We have. There's one electrical company that services that area out there, so everyone's just. You have to pay what they say.

[Ryan]

Jacking up the prices.

[Tyler]

Go solar.

[Ryan]

You gotta. You gotta go. LED lights.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

If we got too many of those. What are they called? Incandescent lights?

[Tyler]

Iridescent.

[Ryan]

Iridescent. Incandescent. Incandescent. Oh. Okay. Well, good luck.

[Miles]

Thank you.

[Ryan]

Anyone's looking for a good rummage sale in the Detroit Lakes area, let me know. Look, look on C list for Tyler's house.

[Miles]

I do a quick walkthrough video, throw it up on the story.

[Tyler]

You go live.

[Jared]

You bet your story.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah. Miles a can at We Fest. I'm gonna put up a rummage sale story on you betcha.

[Ryan]

Why don't you go live on TikTok and then not only can you sell stuff live on Tick Tock, but they can also send you galaxies and roses.

[Miles]

Yeah, that would be sick. My WI fi doesn't reach the garage.

[Ryan]

Unfortunately. That is just.

[Miles]

I live in the middle of nowhere.

[Ryan]

You can't even go live?

[Miles]

No, I can't. I.

[Tyler]

If I'm in the garage inside and then just walk.

[Miles]

Yeah, Walk out.

[Tyler]

He keeps.

[Miles]

Hey, guys, trust me. Trust me. It's all there. Dude, you're gonna love.

[Jared]

Like focuses on the screen of the window.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

You can't see anything.

[Ryan]

Then all of a sudden, yellow jackets, she starts swarming.

[Tyler]

I like. I. I kind of. I want to make a deal with you right now where if you go live and. And like give us a run through of your rummage sale, I'll buy everything from you.

[Miles]

I will take the WI fi out of my house and plug it in the garage if that's the deal.

[Tyler]

But it's got to be. I mean, it'd have to be on every platform.

[Miles]

Sure.

[Tyler]

Like I said, I want which.

[Ryan]

On which page?

[Tyler]

No, I mean just his own oh, done.

[Miles]

I'll do that if you want to buy everything I have in there.

[Ryan]

No.

[Tyler]

Yeah. All I said was I want to make the deal. I don't know if I'm going to.

[Miles]

That's. I. I have stalls right up there with the.

[Ryan]

Well, that's why I had a kindred first year. No. No odds whatsoever.

[Tyler]

That was a great bet. I'm 200 richer.

[Jared]

Not the first year.

[Tyler]

It doesn't matter. Double or nothing.

[Jared]

I see.

[Ryan]

Well, I'll.

[Miles]

I'll work.

[Ryan]

Double or nothing did make sense because he already paid me.

[Jared]

With double the money for the next year. I guess. So.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It wouldn't be.

[Miles]

You're right. You just made 100 bucks. Yeah. Got your hunter back.

[Tyler]

I forgot about that last hunter, though. I forgot about the second I sent it.

[Jared]

You sent it, though.

[Tyler]

We'll workshop a deal. It happened. Yeah, that's too easy. You may have to go live the whole time. All right, there's. You're just not gonna. You would not go live the whole time for.

[Ryan]

For 17 hours.

[Miles]

Yeah. I just have to plug my phone in, set it up on a stand.

[Tyler]

And have to be on you the whole time.

[Ryan]

Doesn't matter. So that's not. None of that's gonna happen. So you got a fun fact, Jared.

[Jared]

The longest time between two twins being born is 87 days.

[Miles]

Whoa.

[Jared]

In Ireland.

[Ryan]

How's that even possible?

[Miles]

Irish twins. That checks out.

[Ryan]

Maybe that's what it's originated from.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

The twins names are Amy and Katie. Amy was born prematurely at just 23 weeks into pregnancy. Due to complications, her twin sister Katie remained in the womb and was born a full 87 days later at 36 weeks. This incredible gap set a world record for the longest interval between two twin birds.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

2012.

[Miles]

That is crazy.

[Jared]

And the kids turned out just fine years later, I guess it was just 2012, but so far, so good.

[Ryan]

Again, that's just a kind of a mind being like, oh, we're twins, but. But she was born three months before me.

[Miles]

Yeah. Because, like, when twins have different birthdays, it's like. Because one was born at 11:30, and then one was born at 12:30 the next morning. But to have your birthdays months apart.

[Jared]

87 days. Yep.

[Ryan]

I mean, they're completely different. Horoscope.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

That's a mind, too.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Completely different Chinese calendar animals. I'm a. If you're wondering.

[Ryan]

Does that make me a too.

[Miles]

It goes by a year. Oh, I got. I'm a dog.

[Ryan]

How do you guys know this?

[Miles]

I don't know the menu At Dragon.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Beyond's China Buffet.

[Miles]

Just the.

[Tyler]

The paper placemat that they have out.

[Miles]

Yep. Yeah. I'm not supposed to. I'm supposed to avoid dragons and marry a hair.

[Tyler]

Okay. Yeah.

[Jared]

Oh, that is a wild fact.

[Ryan]

It's not even that fun. That's just wild.

[Miles]

Jared.

[Ryan]

It is fun. It's fun. It's really good that they. They're both healthy and happy, you know?

[Jared]

So that's good.

[Ryan]

Nice. Well, is that it? J. Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of the you Bet your radio podcast. Have a great week. We love you, and we'll see you in the next one. Oh, you betcha. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jared]

You can only choose one soup, one salad, one app for the rest of your life. What are you choosing?

[Ryan]

I am choosing appetizer. I am choosing garlic bread. I did have croissants with maple butter last weekend.

[Miles]

Getting dangerously close to a cronut.

[Ryan]

Very coronady. I agree. But I think I'm still just going, like, some form of garlic bread. Could be a Chetty Bisky.

[Tyler]

Sure.

[Ryan]

Garlic cheddar Bisky.

[Miles]

Nice.

[Ryan]

But yeah, give me some garlic bread as the appetizer. Salad. I'm going to probably go leafy green salad with red onions, carrots, croutons, and runny ranch. But I also need, like, three to four slices of fresh cucumber.

[Miles]

Yeah. Three or four slices of bread. Have the salad in a bread bowl.

[Jared]

And the soup at a bread bowl.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

Garlic croutons. Because I like to take cucumber and just dip it in the ranch and eat that like that. That's actually, like, a mini appetizer to my salad. I always do that first.

[Miles]

Gotcha.

[Ryan]

And then what was the other one?

[Miles]

The soup.

[Ryan]

See, this is tough for me. I. I think I said I've only recently become more of a soup guy. Okay. Come back to me on the soup.

[Tyler]

Okay. You want me to go? Yeah, go, Ryan. Mine popped in my head right away. Soup. I'm going chicken tortilla soup.

[Jared]

That's what I would have.

[Tyler]

Salad. I'm going Caesar salad. Croutons, and maybe sunflower seeds sprinkled over top.

[Jared]

Some parmesan.

[Tyler]

Yeah, some Parmesan. And then appetizer. I'm going fried pickles.

[Miles]

That's really nice. I dig that.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Miles]

Me, for soup, I'm going creamy wild rice. Chicken wild rice.

[Tyler]

I love rice.

[Ryan]

Just in general, it's great food. It's like, why was my mom not making wild rice?

[Miles]

More appetizer. I'm going jalapeno poppers.

[Tyler]

That's A good one.

[Miles]

I'm gonna go the bacon wrapped ones, though, not the deep fried breaded ones. Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Miles]

And then for my salad, I'm gonna go snicker salad did not specify us out of technicality.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he did.

[Miles]

I need. I need something sweet with my two savories.

[Ryan]

Then I would have probably went either like, pasta salad or potato salad.

[Miles]

You could have.

[Ryan]

That was stupid, right?

[Tyler]

I think if you could only have one. I. I'd rather have a. I'd rather have a green salad. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, I. I guess I am hammering garlic bread for sure. Maybe I don't need potato salad.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Pasta salad.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Coleslaw. Coleslaw is technically a salad.

[Jared]

Yeah. I just got bad.

[Miles]

I do really like coleslaw.

[Ryan]

Coleslaw is a side. It's not a salad.

[Jared]

Salad can be a side, though. Side salad.

[Ryan]

It's a side salad.

[Tyler]

It's not a side.

[Ryan]

What's your soup? Oh, wild rice. That's good.

[Miles]

I almost went nephila, but I'm not. I couldn't do that every day. I could do chicken.

[Tyler]

That's rice. Every day.

[Ryan]

I. I think I'll go chicken. Wild rice. Yeah, it's. You're right. If you're doing that every day. Goes down easy.

[Miles]

Every day.

[Ryan]

Yeah. But, like, remember that one soup? I don't remember the noki soup that Anne made. Remember I said it was really good, but then it was like, my gut. Just add so much cream and stuff.

[Miles]

Ton of heavy cream.

[Ryan]

One. One time a month. Great. Better than the wild rice soup. But if you're doing it consistently, it's.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You're gonna be bogged into eternity.

[Jared]

I would rather do.

[Ryan]

Call me Wade Boggs.

[Jared]

I would do chicken tortilla. My other pick would be, like, French onion soup.

[Miles]

French onion is very good.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Kind of melt on French onion.

[Tyler]

I don't know if I've ever had French onion soup.

[Ryan]

Maybe I just have an.

[Miles]

Yeah, I guess. Guess not. It's kind of. It kind of tastes a little bit like a jus. If you like dip in your, like, steak sandwiches, then you'd like it.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Jared]

Get it next time.

[Tyler]

Sure.

[Jared]

App. I'd probably do chips and salsa.

[Tyler]

That's a great app.

[Ryan]

That's a great salsa.

[Tyler]

That's a great app.

[Jared]

I love chips and salsa.

[Tyler]

We.

[Ryan]

So this is great. We did a little happy hour chips and dips last weekend, and for our wedding, apparently we got this, like, thing that you. It's like a carrying thing. It's got three little trays. For dips. And I put the guac in the one, we put the queso in the other one, and we're like, why the are we even gonna put salsa in here?

[Jared]

Oh, you have to, dude.

[Tyler]

I'm not.

[Miles]

We've done this before.

[Ryan]

This is barely going to be touched. And what do you know? About one eighth of the salsa got eaten. The guac queso hammered.

[Tyler]

It must be a generational thing. I don't know, like, with your family. Because, dude, I. I'll crush. I'll crush a cup of salsa. Before I were to crush a cup of queso or guac, I'll dip the guac and then I'll. And then I'll dip salsa afterwards.

[Miles]

So it can't be generational because we're all the same generation, and I couldn't be more out on salsa. I'm so.

[Tyler]

No, I'm saying, like. I'm saying, like, is family, like, generational fan in the family?

[Ryan]

You mean just our family?

[Tyler]

Like. Like your parents probably weren't eating much salsa when you were younger.

[Ryan]

Oh, my dad loves salsa.

[Tyler]

And he didn't touch a sing. He didn't touch one eighth of it.

[Ryan]

I don't know what he's doing. He was. Yeah, he doesn't eat, he doesn't drink.

[Tyler]

He's probably slamming waters in the background, tinkering with something. Sure. Look at the stove.

[Ryan]

Sandwich.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Spam for lunch.

[Miles]

Not even fried. He just ate it out of the can.

[Ryan]

It wasn't even fresh Spam. It was leftovers.

[Tyler]

That's funny.

[Jared]

No, you need salsa with the guac in queso.

[Ryan]

No. Yeah, that's why we put out. We're like, you can't. It's. You can't just put guac in and queso out. You have to do salsa. But it's just a waste because it's never going to get all eaten.

[Tyler]

Is there any other differ.

[Ryan]

There's a fucking reason why salsa is free at Mexican restaurants and queso and guac is not. That's right.

[Tyler]

Salsa is the best part of the Mexican restaurants.

[Jared]

So just because something's more expensive, it's better.

[Ryan]

There's a reason why they had to put a premium on it. Because premium is better.

[Jared]

Okay, you like caviar?

[Ryan]

Do you pay less for premium gas? Jared?

[Miles]

No. There we go.

[Jared]

I put diesel in my car to save money.

[Miles]

That's what happened to your Civic.

[Jared]

And salad. I don't know. Caesar salad works.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's tough to have a bad Caesar salad unless there's not enough dressing on it. High floor now, if you guys are eating a Caesar salad, do you prefer the it to already be mixed up in the dressing, or do you prefer to put your own dressing on? I'm going pre mixed.

[Ryan]

No, you like a tossed salad.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I like it to be tossed beforehand.

[Miles]

I don't really love Caesar, but if I had to, I would rather sauce it myself.

[Tyler]

Really?

[Ryan]

So Caesar tossed ranch house salad. I got to put that on my correct?

[Tyler]

Yeah, you have to toss it yourself. So Marilyn Matson.

[Miles]

My grandma taught me this, and I know this is a crazy thing to do, but I don't. If I ever get a salad, I get the sauce on the side. I dip my fork into the sauce first and then stab the lettuce so I get the same amount of ranch every bite.

[Tyler]

That's criminal.

[Miles]

I know. I know. It's crazy, but I do it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're not helping my, like, salsa case here by. Hey, basically, they're pleading that you're in. You have insanity. And so my whole argument kind of falls.

[Miles]

I mean, it keeps it. It keeps the salad healthy, too. It's less ranch inch consumed. Maybe. Maybe. Give it a shot.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Cut this out.

[Ryan]

It's like having my lead witness turn out to be a crazy person.

[Miles]

You know?

[Ryan]
