Notable Quote:

2. Construction Workers' Fourth of July Activities [02:37 – 07:07]

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the upcoming hot dog eating contest.

Transcript

[Ryan]

How we feeling on this week of the 4th of July?

[Tyler]

Patriotic as hell.

[Ryan]

We have one of those jobs that when you have a short week, you don't get to do less work. You just to do the same amount of work in less days.

[Jared]

You just pump it out in three days.

[Ryan]

So that's. Yeah, that's always fun. But then you're always like, okay, could we always just pump everything out in three days? And then you're like, well, can we just pump it all out in two days?

[Tyler]

Do we have Thursday off?

[Ryan]

And next thing you know, we're Tim Ferriss, we're doing the four hour work week. Just, just pumping for four hours.

[Tyler]

Oh, four hour work week. Well. Well, there's 75 hours in a day according to that one guy.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it depends how you view your day, I suppose. True. It also depends on how you view your hours.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Because I started doing my hours in 15 minute increments. So your guys's hour, I'm doing four hours. Therefore you stack that up over a month, year, decade. I'm kicking your ass.

[Jared]

Yeah. Are people getting. Do we get Thursday off? Not I'm not saying like we as a company, but like do people get Thursday off if the 4th's on a Friday?

[Tyler]

I don't think so. I've never have.

[Ryan]

I think it all depends. Like, I feel like, like if you're open to the public type of business, like a coffee shop, like you're definitely.

[Tyler]

Not for sure to be open even on the 4th.

[Ryan]

But I would say there's some like construction companies that are taking Thursday schools.

[Jared]

Schools are for sure closed on Thursdays.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Jared]

DQ's also closed on Thursday. Saw that today at lunch. Yep.

[Ryan]

So if you try to get your cone.

[Tyler]

So get a snickerdoodle blizzard on Wednesday and put it in the freezer for the 4th.

[Ryan]

I'd say like 25 of construction companies are close.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Anymore.

[Tyler]

I know we, we for sure work the third, but I don't remember.

[Ryan]

My dad's company is always just like, hey, we're not working Thursday. And he's like, okay. Because if they don't show up, he can't do anything anyway.

[Tyler]

True. They're unionizing against him.

[Ryan]

What do you, what do you guys think construction workers do on the 4th of July?

[Tyler]

I mean, I don't know. Besides getting violently drunk.

[Ryan]

Violently drunk.

[Tyler]

They're getting hammered.

[Ryan]

I view them. I imagine a lot of construction workers are floating down a river.

[Tyler]

Oh, that's exactly.

[Jared]

I was gonna say. Odds are they're. They're either using just Like a black donut inner tube.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Jared]

Or yeah.

[Ryan]

Like with the, with the little like thing like a car tire.

[Jared]

Little spigot.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

What are those called? Why can't I think of the name?

[Tyler]

I think it's the nozzle.

[Ryan]

The little nozzle on it. It's just sticking out and randomly you just scrape your leg.

[Jared]

Yeah. Probably patched up two or three times.

[Tyler]

And that when you lay on that black rubber tube for the first time when you get in the river, it's the hottest surface on the planet. You forget to dunk it in the water first.

[Ryan]

Yeah. But all the construction workers actually like it because it makes them feel something again.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

So I feel like they're either doing that or they're showing up with a tube still in the packaging and then they're the guy just sitting on the side like.

[Tyler]

So I've, I've never tubed the river where it wasn't like part of a tubing company where like the tube was provided.

[Jared]

The river down, down by the in laws lake place is just, it's byot. There's no company around there.

[Tyler]

It's like so they would they bust you out there? So every construction dude is rolling up with the craziest tan lines you've ever seen. And yeah, it looks like they're still.

[Ryan]

Wearing a high vis t shirt. Just like that's how bright their skin is.

[Tyler]

You're like oh, supernova white belly. And then just the tanninstarge ever. And they always bring a cooler that is way too fucking big to be supported by A2.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah, they're going to pack 150 beers and you know they'll get through like 120 of them.

[Tyler]

It's because they know that they're going to be hammered by halfway down the river and they're going to start hucking beers to everybody else.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

They bring, they bring a hundred for themselves and 50 to hand out in hoping that they get some sort of extracurricular activity going on there.

[Tyler]

There may or may not be some Mardi gras beads in that cooler to hand out with the beers.

[Ryan]

Probably it's kind of like Michael Scott's. Everyone likes the guy who has, who gives out gum. Everyone likes the guy in the river who's handing out beers for sure. Yeah.

[Jared]

Well, I think also 50% of them are probably wearing jean shorts because they, they may not even own a pair of swim swim trunks. They're either just wearing like and one.

[Tyler]

Shorts or jean shorts and their shins are just as white as their belly.

[Ryan]

For sure. And they're not putting a lick of sunscreen on.

[Tyler]

No, no.

[Ryan]

They're just getting fried.

[Jared]

Well, their skin's so leathery from the job site anyway. They don't even.

[Ryan]

Except for underneath their T shirt, it's like baby skin.

[Jared]

That's true.

[Tyler]

I feel like you guys have watched Lilo and Stitch right long. They look like the big guy with the ice cream cone that just keeps falling off.

[Jared]

Oh, yep. I know what you're talking about.

[Ryan]

And what's funny is I actually know this to be somewhat true because I remember going to work when I was working for my dad and we came back from the fourth of July weekend and one of the guys was tubing that weekend and he told us about how he hooked up with a chick in the bathroom at one of those.

[Tyler]

There's no way those bathrooms are good.

[Ryan]

Correct. He definitely got it from us. He was definitely on the short end of the stick of getting made fun of.

[Tyler]

So is this like the local river, like down the road an hour?

[Ryan]

We told. We told him that he can have the afternoon off to go get his shots.

[Jared]

Whatever, bro.

[Tyler]

Go get tested because those are.

[Ryan]

Get tested. Go get your shots.

[Jared]

Go get a Z pack.

[Miles]

Go to the vet.

[Tyler]

Yeah, seriously.

[Jared]

Get pumped up with some Ivermectin.

[Tyler]

The river. The river run. Where I grew up, those bathrooms are just generic Porta Potties that got pumped like once a month. So it had to have been really gross.

[Jared]

Oh, well, yeah. The once one time a month is probably July 5th, but when it's go.

[Ryan]

Time, Tyler, it's go time.

[Jared]

Did the relationship last, do you think?

[Ryan]

Oh, God, no.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

I don't think it lasted very long at all.

[Jared]

Yeah, I mean, it probably lasted, you know, a couple minutes and then it was done.

[Ryan]

Yeah. If that.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I imagine construction workers just, you know, like some people are like, I don't like how loud the. The fireworks are or they're like, what, it. They can't hear anything?

[Tyler]

No, they sleep.

[Ryan]

If they go to bed at 9pm on the 4th of July, they're asleep in sound because they can't hear the fireworks anyways.

[Tyler]

Do you think that's why blue collar guys love the big boomers so much? Because all it. All it does is make a big ass noise. So they like it. They can actually hear it probably.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. Imagine the construction guys are also lighting all their fireworks on their cigarettes.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You know, just. And then they're just standing there and there's. Looking straight up in the air. Yeah. It's at least the tow truck drivers are just not running away.

[Tyler]

They're not even putting them in a tube. They're just holding them.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just holding the big, like one shot giant ones.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

If you're a tow truck driver, your Roman candle is one of the. The big tube onot. One of those mortars is what they're called.

[Tyler]

Or just.

[Ryan]

If you're a tow truck driver, your Roman candle is a mortar.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Or he just got. He's holding the cake sideways.

[Jared]

I feel like construction workers also like to. They like to flex their money at the fireworks stand. Like for some odd reason, they'll buy $1,000 worth of fireworks.

[Tyler]

You got a single uncle that works in construction, he's going to bring a whole truckload of fireworks and he's going to be lighting them up all freaking day.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he'll nickel and dimes everything else in his life, but he's going to drop a bag on fireworks for sure.

[Jared]

And if you think that he's going to be lighting those things off when it's dark, you're wrong. We're talking like noon to 5, sun.

[Ryan]

Up, sun up to the next day, 24 hours of fireworks.

[Tyler]

Sun up to sun up.

[Ryan]

When he's got. He always. He'll do it. He knows what he's doing, though. He'll build it up. You know, he'll start with firecrackers, some Roman candles, some little spinners and screamers. And then he just slowly starts bringing out some cakes.

[Jared]

Well, I feel like 4th of July too. Is it? For some reason, it's a day where people, they like to mix like super odd drinks. Whether it's like, to make it more patriotic or they're. They're bl. They're making in the blender.

[Miles]

It's like a mudslide or something.

[Jared]

Yeah, like a mudslide.

[Ryan]

I also feel like the 4th of July has got to be best day of sales for the company. Jello.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

I just feel like everyone makes Jello shots for the fourth of July.

[Tyler]

Red and blue cubes every year.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And.

[Jared]

Yeah. Why is that? I mean, I, I understand it's one thing that you can control the color.

[Ryan]

Of, but I don't know, I like in the last decade, the only time I've had a Jello shot has been on the 4th of July. I feel like.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, I'm out on Jello shots.

[Ryan]

I think they're fine.

[Tyler]

Zero. Cool way to take a Jello shot. Do your tongue in a circle around it. You look like an ant eater.

[Jared]

I. I've Never made jello shots nor will I probably ever do it, but I assume it's quite a bit of work for the reward.

[Tyler]

I don't think it is. I think that's why people make them so much.

[Miles]

I think, I think the biggest battle is fridge space.

[Jared]

Yes. Okay, there we go.

[Miles]

And then that's it.

[Jared]

There we go.

[Miles]

And transporting.

[Ryan]

Yeah, there's no cool way to eat a jealous. I mean there is a cool way if you can just like, just.

[Miles]

Like.

[Tyler]

You know, that's just a less lame way. I don't know if that's cool.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're right. There's also no like cool way to run away from a lit firework.

[Jared]

I think you know how to back away.

[Ryan]

You know, like how chicks will post videos of guys, their guys giving them the ick and it's always like them underwater, like kicking their legs all, you know, girly. It's like, I imagine girls get the ick of watching their husband light a firework and then run away like a little.

[Jared]

Yeah, I think, I think you definitely got to go with the backpedal. That's probably the only time until you.

[Tyler]

Trip and then you look like an true.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's the only time out of the entire year that I'm backpedaling like a Kobe backpedal.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you want to be a badass, you got to walk slowly away from a firework. Like you're in an action movie with.

[Jared]

An explosion behind you adjacent statham or something.

[Miles]

Or just. Yeah, put sunglasses every time when you're walking away.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's kind of cool.

[Tyler]

Just have them on your forehead. Just do the whole drop down so they fall on your eyes.

[Miles]

Distracts people from you walking.

[Ryan]

All right guys, prize picks time this week. And right now you can sign up with code YBR and get $50 instantly when you play your first five dollar lineup. You don't need to win your lineup to receive the 50 bonus. It's guaranteed. And what a better week to get into prize picks than hot dog eating contest week.

[Tyler]

If there was ever a time to dip your toes in the prize picks water, it is hot dog contest.

[Ryan]

And nothing screams. Everyone shut up at 11am on the 4th of July. Like betting on the hot dog eating contest. Yeah, nothing screams to your family that you're in a good place like putting money down on the hot dog eating contest. And that's what I'm gonna be doing.

[Tyler]

I can't wait to just leave my kids to go play with fireworks by themselves so I can watch this hot dog eating contest.

[Ryan]

I can't wait to. I don't know.

[Jared]

I can't wait to eat a bunch of hot dogs myself.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's true.

[Tyler]

I. Right. I think you should try to go one for one with Chestnut on tv.

[Ryan]

Well, I think we should try a scale, right? So I'm gonna go 1 10th scale.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Ryan]

So every one hot dog he eats, I have to eat a 10th of a hot dog. You know, it's like handicapping in golf, right? It's like if we handicap it and I'm a, you know.

[Jared]

Well, how about just for every 10 that he eats, you eat one?

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[Tyler]

Okay, so if you eat eight hot dogs, you've covered his line.

[Ryan]

Yeah. All I gotta do is if he gets 70 hot dogs, I gotta eat 70 and 1 8, 71 8th hot dog, and I beat him.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I think that's fair.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I mean, he's the goat of hot dog.

[Jared]

We're going net hot dogs, too. We're not going. Gross.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So what do we got this week? I don't remember who picked what, but right now we're going all over. We're not cheering. We're not cheering for dogs. Not going down gullock gullets.

[Miles]

You go to the home, running around dirty, baby. See?

[Ryan]

Home run. Yeah. So we went all over. I don't know what the weather's gonna be like because apparently that affects the amount of dogs if it's. If things are sliding easy or not. What? Yeah, the wet. The weather. If it's like hot out, they won't eat as many hot dogs.

[Tyler]

Really?

[Ryan]

There's got to be an ideal temperature to see dogs go high. And we should have looked up the weather to know if we were smart. But again, you don't want to cheer for not getting hot dogs eaten. So we got. We got Jeffrey Esper. More than 50.25 hot dogs eaten. Joey Chestnut, we. We're going big. 71.75. Patrick Bertoletti.

[Miles]

Bertoletti.

[Ryan]

Bertoletti. 50.75. That's going to be tight between Jeffrey and Patrick. And then Mickey Sudo bringing up the rear with 45.75 hot dogs eaten.

[Jared]

Yeah, we're going all more.

[Ryan]

Oh, it's going to be 83.

[Miles]

A little warm.

[Jared]

Yeah. But only 42.

[Ryan]

So we won't be upset with you guys if you fade us and go. Actually the opposite after seeing that, it's gonna be 83 degrees Fahrenheit that day. But hey, anything can happen. So that's our Lineup for the week.

[Tyler]

I feel good about it.

[Ryan]

I feel good about it.

[Miles]

I feel good.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And all I gotta do is eat 70 and 1 8th hot dog and I can. Or 7 and 18 hot dog.

[Miles]

You could try.

[Ryan]

Yeah, just handicap it.

[Jared]

You could do. Yeah, well, you could do brats and you could go like 1 20th.

[Ryan]

Yeah, all I got to do is eat, like three and a half brats.

[Tyler]

You could do that.

[Jared]

Yeah. You could easily.

[Ryan]

Oh, I could easily do three and a half brats. I had two brats this last weekend.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Just push the limits a little bit. Maybe forego the potato salad.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Put down another brat and a half.

[Tyler]

What a baller move that would be. If Chestnut's like 40 hot dogs ahead of everybody else and he just pulls out like a side of potato salad. Eats some of that, too.

[Jared]

He just pulls out some Mac and cheese and starts ripping apart the hot dogs. It in there.

[Ryan]

If he sets a record, you know, is the first thing you should say is, like, how do you feel? And be like, well, I could go for some ice cream to fill in the cracks. That would be an alternative.

[Tyler]

Shake his leg. I think I got a little extra room here.

[Ryan]

Yep. So, guys, you got to get on prize picks because this is the week of the hot dog eating contest. They got got lines up and down that sucker. So go, go check out use code YBR and have some fun relish and victory.

[Tyler]

Hey, nice.

[Ryan]

You guys got to catch up to us and get on prize picks.

[Jared]

Yeah. I wonder how much money's at the bottom of the river during, like, the peak tubing weekend.

[Tyler]

Lot of phones.

[Jared]

Phones, sunglasses, you know, speakers. Oh, yeah, you name it. You know, the amount of, like, there's probably more pit vipers at the bottom of a river than there are, like, in the actual store.

[Ryan]

You know, that's actually kind of smart. It's like you collect all the pit viper glasses this year, then next year you put out a pit viper stand of all the old used ones and you sell them back to the construction guys that lost them last year.

[Jared]

Yeah. You even maybe like, like, set up like a mobile stand halfway down the river for people who are. Have already lost them.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's true.

[Jared]

Yeah. July 5th, a big day for resellers. That's the day that resellers go. Go tubing down the rivers. July 5, just start scoping the bottom.

[Tyler]

Just have some sort of net to catch all the stuff in a deep part of the river.

[Jared]

Yeah. It's actually not a bad idea. Wedding rings.

[Tyler]

My dad lost his wedding ring in the river one time.

[Jared]

I'm sure someone's got their hands on it.

[Tyler]

It's a fucking camouflage wedding band, so good luck finding that, dad.

[Jared]

There's just no way. You're fine.

[Tyler]

He looks too, like. You're not gonna quit looking. You're not gonna find it.

[Jared]

You might get lucky if you lose, like your aura ring or something. Yeah, you can, like, you know, turn it on and see it light up or some. I don't know, the. Or like. Yeah, a lot of aura.

[Ryan]

Is that one of those. Is that like one that tracks your sleep and stuff?

[Jared]

Yeah. Yep.

[Miles]

It's good. Psa. Wear your order ring, not your wedding ring, correct?

[Tyler]

Yeah. You have an or a ring stand.

[Ryan]

Well, that's why when I go tubing down the river, I always make sure to put an air tag on my wedding ring.

[Jared]

Same. It's kind of dang.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It'S kind of like those, you know, like some girls, like, they have that dang, like, chain dangly thing off their, like, belly button ring. You just do that with your aura ring.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. But then it just looks like a fishing lure.

[Jared]

Yeah, you just drop your finger.

[Ryan]

Drop your finger at the lake and just catch a fish with your hand.

[Tyler]

I saw some dude posted a video. He just sticks his thumb in the water and wiggles his thumb and bass come up to it and think it's somebody just grabs him by the lip and pulls them out like a hot dog.

[Jared]

Yeah. Yeah. Make sure you're not taking your swim trunks off. You're too numerous. Try to tan your back unless you're.

[Tyler]

Trying to catch bass.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's true. That's true.

[Ryan]

Just dragging your.

[Tyler]

In the water. You're just bellied. You're doing a plank on the tube the whole way down the river. What are you doing?

[Ryan]

If you guys think that I'm touching water by laying flat down on a tube, you're dreaming.

[Tyler]

It's a little tube.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's like half submerged in the water too.

[Tyler]

It'd be.

[Ryan]

It would just be. It would actually be great for fly fishing. Just skimming across the top.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that is true. You guys tube the river often going up.

[Jared]

I haven't quite a bit long time.

[Tyler]

Because I grew up right by it. The worst thing about tube in the river is if your tube gets away from you, then you got to talk about can't look cool. You cannot look cool. Walking after your.

[Jared]

That's very.

[Tyler]

Floats down the river away from you.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Just humming down the river.

[Tyler]

And he's like, you didn't wear Shoes. You're stepping on rocks and glass ass and you're like doing the weird waddle down the, down the river.

[Jared]

Yeah. And the only type of, like the only type of swim you can do on the fourth July is the American crawl, of course. American Crawl, fourth of July, Independence Day. Okay.

[Tyler]

Anyway, I don't know what the American. What's the American Crawl?

[Jared]

I think the American crawl is just like the. Isn't it like the classic breaststroke? Just another name for it. Can we look that up?

[Miles]

Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

I've never heard that.

[Ryan]

I've never heard that.

[Jared]

Are you me? Yeah. American crawl swimming.

[Tyler]

I thought you were saying like it's like a fourth of July pub crawl.

[Jared]

Swimming stroke recognizes the fastest of the four primary competitive strokes.

[Ryan]

Crawl or freestyle? Yeah, yeah, the freestyle. I didn't know it was the American crawl.

[Tyler]

Fun facts with Ryan today.

[Miles]

Yep, that was good.

[Ryan]

That is a good one. I'm gonna use that this weekend.

[Jared]

Are you guys like.

[Ryan]

I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna use it as a reference, you know?

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You guys know what the American crawl is?

[Ryan]

Ah, 4th of July. Looks like that guy's got the American.

[Jared]

You guys have had leeches stuck to you tubing on the river and not.

[Tyler]

Not tubing, but this weekend I went swimming in. In my grandma's lake and I got out and I must have walked through a nest of them because I had. We stopped counting at 30 of little tiny baby leeches stuck all over me.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

How do you get them off, Ty? You just pull them off?

[Tyler]

I just pull them off. They say if they do like big ones that are really stuck, you're supposed to pour salt on them.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I heard that too.

[Tyler]

It just pull them?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

You're supposed to piss on them like a jellyfish. Yeah, it's like a distant cousin of a jellyfish.

[Tyler]

But your own pee doesn't work, so you got to recruit those things. And for go fishing, I'm telling you, they're itty bitty.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Really tiny.

[Tyler]

I thought it was just sand and I was like trying to wash my feet off like, holy, those are alive.

[Ryan]

So it was all over your foot?

[Tyler]

Yeah, it was up to like mid shin and they're in between my toes.

[Ryan]

Is that a spa treatment?

[Tyler]

Kinda kind of.

[Jared]

Yeah. I mean, yeah. Well, some use minnows, some use baby leeches.

[Tyler]

In the 1600s, that's. That's perfectly normal medical tradition.

[Ryan]

That's how you cured cancer in the 1600s.

[Jared]

I think that's how they had discovered acupuncture too. They just Couldn't get their hands on enough leeches, so they just had these needles.

[Tyler]

Human leeched.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You guys think 4th July is a family holiday or a friend's holiday?

[Tyler]

This is such a cop out. But both. It's an air. It's a family holiday until you're about 16, 17, and it's a friend holiday until you're like 27.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And then it's back to family.

[Miles]

That sounds pretty accurate.

[Jared]

Yeah. I mean, us with kids, I mean, we're like, we probably ain't going tubing down the river with our friends.

[Ryan]

Well, no, but even just like having friends out for the 4th of July, I feel like for me, that ship has sailed.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Everyone's always doing with their family.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. I mean, we don't have any friend. Really have any friends coming out.

[Ryan]

I feel like it's also a little bit weird to invite someone somewhere on the fourth of July. It'd be like inviting someone on Christmas.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

But you know, like, hey, you want to come to the. You want to go skiing with me on Christmas?

[Tyler]

You're like, yeah, it'll be my entire immediate family and you.

[Jared]

But you are right.

[Ryan]

When you're 18 to 23, you're. You're probably going somewhere with buddies.

[Tyler]

Like, I didn't want to see my family for a single minute during 18 to 23.

[Jared]

No, you want to see was Marty got Mardi Gras. I had headed towards a female's direction.

[Tyler]

I had beads to throw at the river. I couldn't have dad around for that.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Like, imagine if I invited you guys over on the fourth of July. You'd be like, I just have other plans.

[Jared]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tyler]

I. I am going to a family gathering for the fourth.

[Jared]

Well, the question is, too, when you invite people over for the fourth, like, how long do they stay? Because do you, like, do you want them to stay all weekend? You know, it's. It's an extended lake weekend for us.

[Miles]

You kick them up before the fireworks.

[Jared]

So it's like, hey, do you want to come over for. You got to be. You want to come over for just the 4th of July? And then when fireworks show is done, you're gone.

[Tyler]

See ya.

[Ryan]

You're done.

[Jared]

You're done. You're not.

[Ryan]

Well, we do want to beat the traffic, so you should probably get out before it gets dark.

[Jared]

That's tr.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we'll light off one sprinkler for you.

[Jared]

Well, it's like a bit. I feel like it's a big holiday where people Just will. Just bring. They'll bring, like, campers and tents and shit and just, like, tent it wherever.

[Tyler]

Exactly. I'm tenting at my. My grandpa on my dad's side this weekend.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

How often do you tend Tyler?

[Tyler]

A couple times a summer.

[Jared]

A couple pictures.

[Ryan]

Three kids.

[Tyler]

So we bought a tent where it's one big tent and then a tunnel that goes to a smaller tent. So not too bad. Kids get the small tent. Me and mom get the big one and the baby block. Babies in my tent.

[Ryan]

Well, just throw them in the tunnel.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Get out of here.

[Miles]

Take a minute.

[Ryan]

Like, cry if you need something.

[Jared]

I eventually like you. I feel like. I feel like your two older kids are the ones who would. Like, they'd be sitting at the other end of the tunnel with a roaming candle. Like, don't come over here. Like, do not come over here and tell us what they do.

[Tyler]

Are not going to be allowed to touch pyrotechnics for quite a while because they would like them way too much.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, they definitely would.

[Tyler]

No, you talk about thin walls. Tent walls are about as thin as you can get. I don't think there's going to be any cheek clapping unless I can find a good porta potty on the river.

[Ryan]

Well, you got to do. You got to do it under the COVID of the fireworks.

[Tyler]

True. They just disappear during the fireworks show.

[Ryan]

They just think you guys are clapping for the fireworks.

[Tyler]

Every once in a while, we'll just stop and give a. Ooh.

[Ryan]

I don't think you'll have to stop for that. You should be getting some ooze, and you're as good as what you do, as we think you are. You should be getting oozing Oz the whole time.

[Tyler]

There's a difference between good and efficient.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

You got to time it out with, like, the. Like, the grand finale where there's no dead.

[Tyler]

So I'll start. I'll start, like, a minute 30 before the final firework, then.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Jared]

Thomas, Jeff.

[Ryan]

I mean, every. You, you, your wife. The fireworks show should all be climaxing at the same time. So you better bring that pepper as well. Pepper.

[Jared]

Ready for the Roman candle.

[Ryan]

Here comes the mortar.

[Jared]

Here comes the boom.

[Miles]

Here comes the 1776.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, it should be fun for you in the tent.

[Tyler]

Should be.

[Ryan]

Sure you don't do it at the bottom. Don't pitch your tent at the bottom of a hill.

[Tyler]

I think it's supposed to be hot as, too. Nope, it's gonna rain.

[Ryan]

Don't be at the bottom of the hill.

[Tyler]

No.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So Tyler's gonna be pitching a tent this weekend.

[Jared]

Hell, yeah, dude.

[Miles]

With a tunnel.

[Tyler]

Huh?

[Miles]

With a tunnel.

[Tyler]

With a tunnel. Tunnel. Tent.

[Ryan]

How often does your tent turn into a disaster situation?

[Tyler]

It starts off extremely organized and lasts two hours before there's shit everywhere. There's clothes, like, you have. By the end of the trip there, you don't know what is. What is clean, what is dirty. The blankets are outside for some reason. It's. There's an inch of dirt.

[Ryan]

It's been a while since I've been in a tent. Do they, like. I imagine they should be, like, developing a technology that you can, like, unhook something on the side and it, like, falls down and it's got, like, shelves in it and stuff.

[Tyler]

I don't have that, but that's actually a great idea.

[Jared]

Yeah. I mean, you can buy like, that for, like. Like fish houses. Yeah, same concept.

[Tyler]

No.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I'll send you guys a. A pick of the setup.

[Miles]

Yeah, just the setup.

[Jared]

How long does it take you to pitch the tent?

[Tyler]

It's actually. If the tunnel is already attached, not very long, but it's kind of a zipping the tunnel. And the tunnel is currently not attached, so it's going to take me a half an hour.

[Jared]

Why is there. I mean, why is there such a stigma on. On being able to put a tent up? I feel like not everyone can put a tent up. And why is that?

[Tyler]

Back in the day, they were way more complicated.

[Jared]

They're just. Now there's, like, an air mattress these days.

[Tyler]

They should be.

[Jared]

Yeah. Like a fun house. Exactly.

[Miles]

You just need a big compressor.

[Jared]

Yeah. And then that. That would mask the noise of Tyler clapping for the fireworks grand finale. I have people at the Here Comes the Founding Father.

[Tyler]

Fireworks do have bananas names.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Jared]

They're insane. And they're all made in China, too.

[Miles]

Yeah. What do Americans.

[Tyler]

George Washington's Bush.

[Jared]

George Bush's Washington.

[Ryan]

That's pretty funny. Oh, man. Be my first time placing any money on the hot dog eating contest.

[Jared]

Same.

[Ryan]

This is a big year for me, I think.

[Tyler]

I hope there's a prop somewhere that just Kobayashi comes back.

[Jared]

Yeah. And Chestnut's gonna be. It's gonna be just like Kobayashi. There's going to be some guy one year. We don't know if that could be ten years from now. It's going to come in and he's gonna beat him, and then the reign is over. Could be this year.

[Tyler]

Could be.

[Ryan]

That would be crazy. That would make a lot of news. If Chestnut does well and someone still beats him. You know, like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, if he has a shitty year.

[Ryan]

Like, if he's got pneumonia and puts down 54 dogs and someone beats him, you're like, okay, well, yeah, it'll be.

[Miles]

Like the miracle on Ice miracle.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jared]

What if he just says, like, if he just develops gout in, like, the first four hot dogs, and he might be.

[Ryan]

That's. That just wouldn't affect your hot dog eating.

[Jared]

Well, maybe he won't be able to stand.

[Ryan]

You'll be fine. You could gut through it.

[Jared]

Got through it.

[Ryan]

You'd be able to gut through it.

[Tyler]

What is. It's 15 minutes.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

10 minutes.

[Ryan]

You could stand for 15 minutes.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

10 minutes, I think is what it is.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jared]

How many hot dogs you guys think you could put down in 10 minutes?

[Ryan]

We do this every year.

[Tyler]

Five.

[Jared]

Really?

[Ryan]

Like, we've had this discussion before.

[Miles]

I'm not sure.

[Jared]

I don't know if we have.

[Tyler]

I. I'm a. I get. I puke when I get too full.

[Jared]

Yeah, I suppose.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You would be a terrible competitive eater.

[Tyler]

The worst.

[Jared]

I think I could maybe put five down.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Well, with water, I think I'd give you six.

[Jared]

See, I don't know if I'd want to. I also want to enjoy them at the same time, which I don't know if that's. If there's a crossing point there or not.

[Miles]

Yeah. I think after the first three, you'd be like, okay, that's enough.

[Jared]

Sure.

[Ryan]

Four is a lot of hot dogs.

[Miles]

It is.

[Ryan]

It's the buns that do you in. The hot dog's not the biggest issue here.

[Jared]

You do love bread, though.

[Tyler]

That's true.

[Ryan]

But do I love bread dipped in water? I don't know. That might be the. Where I draw a line.

[Miles]

Bread dipped in fresco, maybe.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Can you ask for a different liquid?

[Ryan]

Yeah, some of them have, like, pink lemonade and.

[Jared]

Well, could you do, like, you know, like. Like Italian joints where they do, like, the vinaigrette with the. Could you request that maybe.

[Tyler]

Good.

[Miles]

At micro.

[Jared]

You request toasted buns with, like. Come on.

[Ryan]

Come on.

[Jared]

From the back Mike and my sandwich up?

[Tyler]

Is that what you're saying? At Jersey Mike's?

[Ryan]

No.

[Jared]

No.

[Ryan]

You guys haven't. No, I haven't.

[Jared]

Yeah. There's a trend where people. Okay. Yeah. People go into Jersey Mike's and be like, mike, get the back. Get the.

[Ryan]

Out front.

[Jared]

And my sandwich up.

[Miles]

Do it your way.

[Ryan]

That's funny.

[Jared]

Yeah. So.

[Ryan]

So, yeah. Think it'd be a good Fourth of July.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

We usually get the slushy Machine going on the fourth. Got like this, this kind of like commercial size slushy machine that's a to clean.

[Tyler]

Oh, God.

[Jared]

And I think that's why it's only used on the fourth. You clean it once a year, but man, does it hit different.

[Ryan]

For me, the summer always starts after the 4th of July. I feel like 4th of July is the official start of summer for me.

[Miles]

I think most people think it's the halfway point.

[Ryan]

Well, it is. Mentally. June to me is like a 50 50. It's kind of summer. Not fully in it, but once the fourth of July hits and you're into July, you're like, we are. I'm fully balls deep in summer.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I guess.

[Ryan]

But then I also feel like it's summer in the beginning of May when it gets 70 degrees out.

[Tyler]

So it's like there's a slump periodical.

[Ryan]

There's a slump in June where I'm just not mentally into summer.

[Miles]

It's like summer takes a gap year in June for like three weeks.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yep, yep.

[Tyler]

Studies abroad for just a little bit.

[Miles]

Yeah, yep.

[Tyler]

One semester.

[Miles]

Go south.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, I hope everyone stays Safe on the 4th of July too. By the way. You stay safe out there. Don't let your drunk uncle point the cake at the family members.

[Tyler]

Tell.

[Jared]

Tell Terry to throw it in reverse.

[Ryan]

Well, should we take a break, boys? We were in the office last Thursday and somehow someone said the phrase cream your car hearts. And I thought that was the funniest.

[Jared]

And no, it's not a new donut. Yeah, could be Carhartt cream donut.

[Ryan]

And so then I started thinking about the stuff that would make a guy cream his car hearts. And one of them I thought was when you're at a. When you're at a bar. When you're at a bar and the waitress comes up to you and says, hey, we accidentally poured an extra beer. Do you guys just want this one for free? God, that'll make a guy cream his.

[Tyler]

Car hearts in a second.

[Ryan]

This is the best feeling in the world.

[Miles]

It doesn't matter which beer either.

[Ryan]

No, no. Yeah, just free beer.

[Jared]

Yes. It could even be an NAA beer. You don't care.

[Miles]

It could be the most sour beer you've ever.

[Ryan]

Actually, I don't know. I'd be upset if she. If I started drinking it and she's like, how's your na beer?

[Jared]

Yeah, that's true. You're faced.

[Ryan]

It'd be like when Chris Farley does the sketch where he thinks he's drinking regular coffee, but it's Actually caffeinated coffee crystals and he loses his mind. That would be me if I found out that they gave me na beer.

[Miles]

Just trash with the bar.

[Jared]

Hey guys. We accidentally poured 10 extra shots and we can't pour them back in the bottle. You guys want these?

[Tyler]

I don't think so. Yeah, just gives them to one guy.

[Ryan]

It also is like nice too that you are the table that she. She felt you guys wanted this beer. Yeah. Of all the tables in the bar with this free beer, she decided to come to your table and give it to you guys. There's something special about that.

[Tyler]

Or. Or it's sad because she thought you were the table that needed it.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's very true.

[Tyler]

But I'll take it either way.

[Miles]

Always a compliment.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm taking as a compliment, Tyler. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Glass half full or glass half empty? Almost perfect analogy for it.

[Miles]

Hopefully the glass is full.

[Tyler]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Yeah, hopefully.

[Tyler]

Here's a half drink beer that the table or there didn't finish. Do you guys want it Other people's food. That's true.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Here's. Here's a half a glass of beer of all of the foam that came out at the end of the keg. Do you guys want it for free? Yeah, I don't think I'm turning that down.

[Jared]

Yeah. We're only going to be here for a couple more hours. So if it settles in time then we'll drink it.

[Ryan]

Just foam.

[Jared]

Something that'll make me cream my. My car hearts is watching the. Watching the weeds die in my yard after I just.

[Tyler]

Oh, nice.

[Jared]

Okay. Like when. When I drive up after work and I see some wilting going on. There is no better feel like I have to stop the truck mid driveway. I can't even. I can't. I can't even get that full driveway.

[Ryan]

It calls his wife says I'm going to need a towel at the stat. Yeah. Because I just screamed my car.

[Tyler]

Give me some fresh car hearts asap.

[Jared]

Give me a fresh car. It's in a cigarette. And I also need you to pull my car into the driveway because I cannot. I am not in good condition to drive right now. I'm on the come down.

[Tyler]

I have no blood in my head. I could barely make this phone call. My brain is not functioning.

[Jared]

That roundup will really do something to.

[Tyler]

A guy in the same vein to the weeds in the same vein as that Ryan. Something will make me cream my carts is when I perfectly mow around a tree so I know I don't have to weed whack it later.

[Ryan]

That is a great feeling.

[Tyler]

Just. Just expert. Nailed the corners around the tree. I'm good to go.

[Miles]

Good.

[Ryan]

When I was a kid, I used to just. Just slam the deck guard into the base of the tree and just plug it all the way around.

[Tyler]

Just gouges all the way around the truck.

[Ryan]

Like every one of the trees at my parents old house just had a line around the bottom with the. With the bark taken off. Yeah. So I wouldn't have to weed whack around them.

[Tyler]

Smart.

[Ryan]

Once in a while, you get the tire and the deck caught in between the tree and it's just like. And you gotta weasel your way out of it.

[Jared]

Yeah. If you're push mode too, you can like. You can just like step the weeds down with your foot so then you really don't have to step.

[Tyler]

You gotta do a twist.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Rip those up.

[Jared]

Yeah. Just step them down, mow them over.

[Miles]

I'm gonna steal that.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Hey, you got gas in your mower, though. Okay, good.

[Ryan]

When. When you order a piece of furniture online and it comes already put together, that will make a guy cream his khakis. Guy cream is car hearts. Damn it.

[Tyler]

I don't think that's ever happened to me.

[Ryan]

It's. It's happened a few times to me, and it's just the best. I don't have to put this together. Let's go.

[Jared]

I think it's only happened to me one time, and it was with a nightstand, and we also ordered two other nightstands that we had to put both together. So to get to that third one fully.

[Tyler]

Was it the third one too?

[Jared]

It was the third one.

[Tyler]

What a good feeling.

[Jared]

Yeah. God.

[Tyler]

Because you're. You have recency bias too, on how shitty those first two were.

[Jared]

Correct. Yes.

[Tyler]

I. I hope this happens to me one day.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's. But when it does, creaming car hearts, I'll have to.

[Tyler]

I'll have to get some paper towels ready.

[Jared]

Something that'll make me cream cream my cat or something that'll make a guy cream his cars. Is working a short week. The fourth of July week.

[Tyler]

Very nice.

[Jared]

Rolling into that Monday, just knowing that you're. It's a Monday through Thursday, Monday through Wednesday type of week is such a great feeling.

[Miles]

Yeah. Another thing would be when you see a bolt and you grab a socket or whatever and it's that correct one.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Jared]

Jared.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You just look at it. You look at a bolt and you're like, I think it's this size. And you guess it right. That will make a guy. The cream is Car hearts.

[Tyler]

Especially if the walk from where you grabbed the socket to the project is a pretty far walk.

[Miles]

Oh, my God.

[Tyler]

And you know, you don't have to go back and get another one.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah. And just. And like, you.

[Ryan]

You should.

[Jared]

You should always bring the bolt with you just in case. You're just gonna risk it and be like, I got this right now.

[Tyler]

I've given up on getting it right. So I just grab a handful of sockets. Like one of these is gonna fit.

[Jared]

Yeah. I just grabbed the whole socket drawer, bring it over there.

[Miles]

You wheel over the entire.

[Ryan]

That's the thing with guys is we'll never work on something next to where all our tools are. No, we always have to work on it somewhere else and then just walk back and forth.

[Tyler]

I literally keep them in a detached garage. And 80 of my projects that require my soccer wrenches are in the house.

[Ryan]

This last weekend on our screened in porch, one of the screen things was like, like coming loose. So I was just gonna staple it there and deal with it later. So I went back, found the staple gun. I checked it once to see if there were staples in it, get up there. And I probably had to put like five staples in this thing. Two staples in. To walk back and find the staples. And it was the whole thing.

[Miles]

Got your steps in, though.

[Ryan]

It's just a little. It's just the tiniest annoying thing. But it's like I even had the wherewithal to make sure there were staples in it and then it was only 2 left.

[Jared]

Also kind of not annoying thing though, because you want to prolong that project.

[Ryan]

That is a little bit true. What else am I gonna do?

[Jared]

Yeah, exactly.

[Tyler]

That turned it from a one beer to a two beer project because of the forgotten staples.

[Jared]

That's true.

[Ryan]

Another thing that'll make me cream my car heart is like, it hasn't happened to me at my new house. But growing up, like when someone. When you think you have to shovel your driveway, but someone else just out of the goodness of their heart does that.

[Tyler]

That. That happened to me twice this winter. The neighbor just showed up and plowed my driveway.

[Ryan]

Correct.

[Tyler]

He's the man.

[Ryan]

Like, you're like, you got a buddy, you're shoveling. And he comes over and he's like, hey, I got a snowblower. This will take me eight minutes.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

Best.

[Tyler]

That's. That's a very Midwest thing and I'm very here for it. All we had. All we did was make. Make the guy a plate of cookies and bring them over to his house. Then he did it again for us.

[Ryan]

We're like, yeah, my dad turned into that guy in our old neighborhood because he owns a construction company. So he just park a skid steer at the house in the winter because they weren't using it. And then he would just do everyone's driveways and then we just got all.

[Jared]

The cookies in the winter time too. He's not, he's, he ain't doing anything.

[Ryan]

No, he's bored. Trying to get out of the house.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Trying to get away from my.

[Tyler]

That's the class. That's the classic go to second job. For every single blue collar guy that has a seasonal job plowing driveways in.

[Ryan]

The winter, you have to do it at least one year.

[Tyler]

Like that. That is their, that's their backup job all winter long.

[Miles]

Or like hauling snow adjacent to that.

[Tyler]

Yep, my brother in law does that. He where he's like a lumberjack in the summer and then he plows driveways all winter.

[Jared]

Just plowing driveways.

[Tyler]

Yep. One thing that'll make me cream my car hearts is starting the bonfire without gas the first try. Yeah. Because we talked.

[Ryan]

Without gas.

[Tyler]

Because it's a cool feeling. Anyone can start a bonfire with gas, no problem. But if you don't have gas or whatever, you're trying to prove a point, make yourself look cool and then you actually get it. It's sweet. But on the flip side, if you're the. That's just sitting there fanning the fire and just smoking everybody out, you look like a complete idiot.

[Ryan]

Have you guys ever like use like cardboard or newspaper and you light it up underneath as the starter and then it looks like it's rolling and then it just dies. Yeah, like God damn it. That was just the cardboard and the newspaper burning.

[Tyler]

It's like you saw one twig going, you're like, fuck, yeah, I got it. I'm done. Sit down, start to enjoy your fire and then you're getting smoke bombed in 30 seconds.

[Jared]

Yeah. Let's throw a handful of leaves on there.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

Let's go back to the gas station, buy another paper.

[Jared]

Yeah, I. Starting fires like that, I've, I've been using my, my old fashioned torch.

[Tyler]

Yep, that sucker works good.

[Jared]

So you gotta, you gotta, you gotta ditch like the long lighter, long skinny lighter. And you gotta go with the torch.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Jared]

Because I mean you could just sit there with a torch on, just a full log of wood that will start on fire eventually. 20, 30 minutes later maybe.

[Ryan]

But I'm interested to see what kind of fire guy you are in Five years.

[Miles]

He love better.

[Jared]

Yeah, I think I've brought it. I think I've gotten to the full extent of it. I'm still adding to that pile I got going out back.

[Ryan]

But you saw them burn that big pile.

[Jared]

I'm gonna wait till the winter time, I think, until like first two, three inches of snowfall.

[Ryan]

I'd like to think we were a little bit of voice a reason to like, not do it in the dead of summer next to the woods.

[Jared]

I mean, we've got enough rain this. This summer to where I could do.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

We're always two weeks away from a drought.

[Tyler]

Famous last words.

[Jared]

No, you're right. You're right. But.

[Miles]

Yeah, I've never done this, but when a truck driver gets a parking spot at peak parking time, that make a guy cream as.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I imagine. Yeah.

[Miles]

So like on the rest areas and like those travel stops or whatever. Trailers everywhere.

[Jared]

Yeah, dude. I mean, even back in a truck into a sp. Like back in your truck into a kind of a tighter spot. Especially with their wife in the passenger seat and she's just so impressed. Now make a guy cream his car hearts.

[Ryan]

Well, like, even if. Even if you're just pulling a trailer and it's a gas station that has trailer parking spots. I'll make a guy cream's car.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Nice. It's like, wow, you were thinking of me. You were thinking about the stress that I was gonna have trying to find a place to park this thing, or I was gonna have to park it way in the back. Yeah. Up against the gutter. And then I was at the walk all the way across the parking lot, but instead you were thinking of us. Yeah.

[Miles]

Appreciate that.

[Tyler]

Another thing that'll make you cream your cars. We've talked about this before, but when you're working a manual labor job and you're hung over and you wake up and it's raining.

[Miles]

God, that might be the best one.

[Ryan]

I almost.

[Tyler]

You almost did. Just thinking about it.

[Ryan]

Almost soiled my car. Hurts right here, right now.

[Jared]

We should, you know, we should. I mean, this is a pipe dream, but we should implement at. At this company here is we should have, like, job site July to where, like, if it does you wake up and it is raining, then, like, we treat this like a job.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

It's like, yeah, guys, no work today. It's raining.

[Tyler]

We're like a bank where we go with government holidays, but instead we do construction holidays. So rain, snow, we go by OSHA. So if it's 110 degrees, no work.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

We kind of or we or Miles has to give us a water break every 15 minutes.

[Ryan]

It sounds like some murmurs of some unionizing right now. And I don't fucking.

[Jared]

No, I said not that we do it. We would do it here. Yeah, I'm just, I'm putting the word out there for other. Other crews. Job site June, job site. Otherwise, why job site January, you guys.

[Ryan]

Start holding out and going on strike. I just, I'm gonna have YBR with replacements. It's gonna be like the movie. I just like have like a casting call out for guys that just look like you guys. Yeah.

[Jared]

I don't think you'd have trouble finding anyone that looks like me.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You have no problem finding Ryan.

[Jared]

Yeah. Us just marching on the road down there in the rain.

[Tyler]

Ye. Jared crosses the line and we just. It's just you and me. Mean. Mugging him.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Throwing like paint on my truck as I drive by. Two person union. Yeah. You guys are okay right now. You don't have to work Friday, so you're fine.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's for the July. This Friday.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, that. Yeah. It's a good idea, Ryan, but we're not gonna do it.

[Jared]

Yeah, no, it's just some pipe degree. Yeah. Pipe dream. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Clean Porta Potty. That's another one I got.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Actually, what do you constitute as a clean Porta Potty?

[Tyler]

The one that still smells like chemicals.

[Miles]

Yeah, it's like an hour in, not within a half hour of the day.

[Jared]

Yeah. Everything is still below the. The liquid level.

[Miles]

Yep. You.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I would agree. It's. For me, it's mostly based off of smell. If it doesn't smell that feel pretty good, it's.

[Tyler]

It's crazy that we are excited about a smell that is extremely chemically smelling. Like you go into a fresh Porta Potty, it just reeks of cleaning chemicals.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Which way better than Jared's.

[Tyler]

Like if I went into like a normal, normal person's bathroom and it reeked of cleaning chemicals, like, ah, this is a lot. But since I'm in this plastic hot box, it's like, okay, this is good.

[Miles]

Porta Potty air freshener.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I went into a Porta Potty. Like I usually. I don't know, I feel like I'll usually either ship before you go or you hold it in. Or if you got a piss, you just like open both doors on your truck and piss in between them.

[Tyler]

So I had to use the porta potty that entire 100 mile race that I picked crewed at. And right away they were great. By the end of 150, some runners and the entire crowd at those porta potties were the absolute death trap. By the end of the night.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that'll happen. I probably went. And it's also funny how many different names we got for Porta Porta John's. Like, we used to just call them Porta Shitters or Port of John. I think it's mostly because when you're on the job site, especially working, you know, foundations, if you got piss, you just go piss in the corner of the.

[Jared]

Yeah, right.

[Ryan]

Of the hole, you establish a piss corner. But if you got. You got to go find a port of.

[Jared]

Yeah. So, like, what subcontractor is responsible for getting. Is it the general contractor responsible for getting a Porta Potty on. On site?

[Miles]

Right.

[Ryan]

It wasn't my dad. My dad wasn't paying for that. I tell you that much.

[Miles]

They just kind of pop up.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I. That is, the thing is, I don't think anyone. I think they just go. I think they just plant them and they grow in spots.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Somebody in a hole, and that's what grew there.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Like, who's organizing the Porta Potty delivery? Is that. No, nobody is.

[Tyler]

It's like the Tooth Fairy.

[Jared]

It's like. I think if you start digging down deep enough, they just start to grow.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

As far as I know, essentially concrete guys. You're the second guys in on a job. You got the excavator and then you got concrete guys, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, essentially dirt work and then the concrete guys. Yeah. Huh.

[Jared]

I'm just curious.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It was always like, as you're rolling into a neighborhood to do a house, you just. You need to give the neighborhood ocular pat down for the nearest porta shitter so that when it came go time, you knew where you were going.

[Jared]

Because there was no porta Potty at. At my. The place we built.

[Ryan]

I would be lying if I said that it wasn't actually even better when the neighborhood didn't have it. So if you had to, you had to go to the gas station. Yeah, that was. That made me cream my car.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe let off a few. Let off a few farts right away just to prove that. You do have to people, they'll game the system. Oh, yeah. This is the sixth you've taken today. You gotta run to the gas station again. Really?

[Tyler]

I had a torpedo at the gas station last time. I had to.

[Ryan]

Get help it's self fulfilling cycle.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah. God, those taquitos are getting to me.

[Miles]

You better be, prairie dog.

[Ryan]

All right, bend over. Let's see if you're telling the truth.

[Tyler]

How bad are them cheating cheeks?

[Ryan]

If we don't see a turtle head popping out, you're gonna stay here and keep working. If you haven't your butt cheeks, you're not going. Well, you guys got anything else that'll make a guy cream his car heart? Like there's so many.

[Miles]

I have like a fresh gas station food. Like roller dogs, chuck wagons. Right when they hit the heat rack.

[Tyler]

Like you're literally walking to go pick one out. And it in the heat. Heat lamp.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Another awesome thing. Before there was backup cameras, if you backed up a trailer and the hitch was perfectly aligned with the. With the trailer, Y. All you had to do was crank it down. God, that was great feeling.

[Jared]

Our kids will never know what that. What that feels like.

[Ryan]

I mean, if they work for my dad.

[Jared]

Yeah, that's true.

[Ryan]

Backup cameras and kidney.

[Jared]

I guess. You don't have a backup cam on your truck, Tyler. I used to put the tail. Guys put the tailgate down when I was trying to bat. Like if I was backing up like a boat up or something, I always put the tailgate down. Better visual.

[Tyler]

Really? Yeah.

[Jared]

I don't use the backup camera to back a trailer or a boat. And I. I still use the side mirrors. Side mirrors in the preview. So like if you're looking back, you put the tailgate down so you can see like if it's just like a.

[Ryan]

See the boat.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

See, I. My. I just have a tunnel cover, so I just would see that. Me putting tailgate down would not do anything for me. Y. Oh.

[Tyler]

I mean, just operating a chainsaw in general.

[Ryan]

It is fun. Yeah. Then you just start getting carried away. You start chopping limbs. You don't even need to.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Jared]

Yeah. You kind of like you keep working your way up a tree and then you do. You do. Like if you go a little bit too far on one side, you gotta do the other side even and out. And then you go a little bit too far. Eventually you just have like the tip of a spruce tree.

[Tyler]

Well, I've been. I got my chainsaw running and we had a bunch of trees down from that tornado last week. I've been having a week.

[Ryan]

I was an ocean nightmare. Remember I told you guys I chopped down that tree with the fire one. And so I started trimming some branches. There was some ones that were high up and I wasn't gonna go get a ladder. So that was an ocean nightmare. No eye protection. Just one arm holding the chainsaw, full board. Just trying to get that one branch.

[Miles]

Just bad how you just tie it to a rope and you're like, yeah.

[Ryan]

Just swing it up there.

[Jared]

I do with pole saws too. Pulsars.

[Ryan]

That's. I need to get a pole saw.

[Jared]

Yeah, those suckers rip.

[Ryan]

But then if I get a pulsar, I'm not gonn have any limbs left.

[Jared]

No, God, no.

[Ryan]

Not like me personally. Like my trees won't.

[Tyler]

You need to put both.

[Jared]

Yeah, you need to put a limit on things and limit being your height.

[Tyler]

Well, what's the point of having a pole saw? You can't go over your head.

[Ryan]

Just wow.

[Jared]

Tree, you know, half snaps down. You gotta cut that down.

[Miles]

First sip of white monster creaming car hearts.

[Jared]

First of a coffee in the morning. I'll fucking cream the toilet before I cream my car hearts.

[Ryan]

What?

[Tyler]

Ryan's drinking his coffee without his car hearts on pre car.

[Ryan]

Yeah, this is pre car is pre creaming.

[Miles]

So visual.

[Ryan]

Pre cream. Oh, yeah, yeah. Wait.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, I have one. I. You guys probably won't agree with this.

[Jared]

Probably not. But hit us with it anyway.

[Tyler]

Something that's gonna that makes me cream my car hearts. When I go check the mailbox and I don't have mail.

[Miles]

Oh, that's great.

[Tyler]

I don't want mail anymore ever.

[Ryan]

See, I don't feel that way because I walked in. Mine is like the community box in my neighborhood. So that means I walked all the way over there for nothing.

[Jared]

You got to get the scan app to where the postal service scans the mail that you're going to receive. So you know whether you have to go pick it up or not.

[Tyler]

Okay, yeah.

[Jared]

Yep. So you know whether it's just junk mail or.

[Ryan]

No.

[Tyler]

I just don't want to sift through it. It's like garbage, garbage, garbage. Could be the irs. But I throw it in the garbage because it looks like dumped nothing thing.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. If it says irs, I'm usually opening that.

[Tyler]

No, I did actually throw a piece of mail away. I have an a defunct wood burning boiler in my yard. So like an outdoor fireplace that doesn't work. And the insurance company came and scouted my house out and saw that and I didn't tell them I had it. And they're like, you lied to us. And I just saw this insurance thing that looked like they send me things three times a month and I thought it was the same that I don't need that Change your rate, do this, do that. So I threw it in the garbage. And then I got a caller like, hey, you have two days to explain why this is on here, or we're gonna jump your insurance or you'll lose your coverage.

[Miles]

God damn it, Mafia.

[Jared]

You know what? I did lie to you.

[Ryan]

I mean, I don't get that guy. Like, I kind of enjoy the simple pleasure of opening mail. I don't know if you guys feel like.

[Jared]

Not really.

[Ryan]

Like if I know it's junk, but if it, even if it. I. I don't, I don't mind looking at mail.

[Tyler]

I, I used to like going through all the mail, but now I just, I get so much junk now and I get a mortgage scam like three or four weeks after I got the house.

[Jared]

Same.

[Tyler]

And it's just like, it's a 2 inch stack of mail once a week and 90 of it's.

[Ryan]

What else are you gonna do? It's kind of back to the like, oh, I had to go get more staples. Who cares? What else am I gonna do?

[Tyler]

The only thing that would make it better is someone would just take that mail for me and put it on a plane so I had something to do while I was flying around. Check it once a year.

[Jared]

Yeah, I mean, it's a great starter for the burn bear barrel.

[Tyler]

That's it.

[Jared]

We haven't done that starter. You guys have a burn barrel out there.

[Tyler]

Goes in my paper box for starting fires with no gas.

[Ryan]

That's the other thing too that everyone's always talking about, you know, recycling and not wasting this and that. At what point are we going to pass a law that you can't send junk mail to people?

[Jared]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Tyler]

I seriously, we get so much like benefits for going paperless with certain places is why don't they act to go paperless?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Blows my mind.

[Jared]

I feel like people are saying, you jug mail about their company going green. It's like, well, quit sending me.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they send you a thing notifying you that they're going green.

[Jared]

Yeah, it's like, send me an email instead.

[Miles]

Don't send me anything.

[Jared]

Yeah, don't say anything. Great, you're going green.

[Tyler]

Just go green.

[Jared]

Just go green.

[Ryan]

Just go green.

[Miles]

Hand the ball to the ref.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Fucking. And next play.

[Ryan]

I don't think anyone's be like, I cannot believe they didn't send me that piece of junk, man. What is going on? This is not the America I signed up for.

[Miles]

It's like, thanks for letting me know, Totinos. That you want green?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Recyclable pizza boxes, Carnival Cruise sweepstakes.

[Ryan]

Thanks for letting me know you're going green.

[Tyler]

V Rewards. I really appreciate you guys are going green.

[Ryan]

Do you guys. So now on like Gmail, they make it so that you can just click unsubscribe at the top of an email.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Ryan]

But do you guys have any email that you get emails where you click unsubscribe and it says you successfully unsubscribe and then it still sends you stuff?

[Jared]

Yeah, it's like a different type of. It's not you. You unsubscribe from a different type from a type of email that that company sends.

[Tyler]

I. I did the same thing. It was frustrating the out of me. So then I went to the unsubscribe at the bottom of the email and it made check.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Tyler]

All the things that I wanted to subscribe. So it'd be like newsletters, promos, all that stuff. Yes. You have to go and uncheck all those boxes.

[Ryan]

Okay. Yeah. Make me work for it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I swear to God, I get a LinkedIn email twice and I keep hammering unsubscribe and I just keep getting them.

[Jared]

Yeah, those are tick tick tock emails for me. They'll send you five emails overnight.

[Tyler]

For me. It was ducks unlimited for a long time, which is one that I like, but it's like I don't duck hunt that much.

[Jared]

Yeah, yeah. Ducks unlimited turn emails unlimited big time.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, those. Yeah. Hitting the unsubscribe button on. On an email cream your car hearts.

[Tyler]

It is. It's freeing.

[Ryan]

The best. I've got my inbox pretty dialed in these days, actually.

[Tyler]

Do you guys block spam text too?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'll delete and report junk. Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know who. Who has completely circumnavigated that function?

[Jared]

Bishop John Fulda, Bio Life, dude. Oh.

[Tyler]

I have deleted and reported junk bio Life a hundred times and I got another one today and they just keep showing up. Up.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Number I'll delete and report. It's. They get new numbers and they just keep texting me. I'm not giving you my plasma anymore.

[Jared]

So many burner phones at biolife. It's Bishop John Fulda for me. It's like, I'm not even Catholic. Is that a Catholic thing? Bishops.

[Miles]

That's why they're going after you.

[Tyler]

It's or chess thing.

[Jared]

Yeah. Quit. And then I. I get these. These like poll. These poll text messages. Like political polls. Like, hello, James, the research poll. I was like, get the.

[Ryan]

You know I know the ones I've been getting lately. Which one is people? It's clearly like a scam, but people are texting me saying they're part of a recruitment portion of these corporate companies. It'll be like, I, I'm. I'm a recruiting manager here at Walgreens. Yes.

[Tyler]

And please sign me up.

[Ryan]

I think one of them was like, like, yeah, that gives a bunch of specifications of like you got to be this old, this and that. And you're just like, holy smokes, dude.

[Tyler]

This.

[Ryan]

People fall for this.

[Jared]

Yeah, I can't find any. I, I get those too. I just, I delete them. Report junk. So I can't find anything.

[Tyler]

I got it. I got an Emily at USPS today.

[Jared]

Emily. Oh, Emily over at usps.

[Tyler]

Yep. What was the email? I got it. She said that I have to reschedule my shipment, but it's from. From [e-mail]. so that's definitely legit.

[Jared]

Gail, Here we go.

[Jared]

Yeah. And you only work four hours a week.

[Ryan]

So. I think the only other thing is that the Liver King was arrested.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Ryan]

What are the details on that? Do we know?

[Miles]

Ryan's a big Liver King fan, so he would know.

[Ryan]

How do you feel about the Liver King?

[Jared]

I guess I didn't get arrested. I mean, I think it's just the. It's like the final effects of. Of $11,000 a month in steroid use.

[Miles]

Allegedly.

[Tyler]

Well, so.

[Jared]

No, it's in the emails. Yeah. It's not a letter. It is. It's fact.

[Ryan]

What emails?

[Jared]

The emails that got leaked that proved that he was just absolutely juice to the gourd.

[Ryan]

Well, no one thought he was natural.

[Jared]

No, I know, but that was the whole. Dude, there's. There's so many people that thought he was.

[Tyler]

No cult following.

[Ryan]

That's wild.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Well, I know he got arrested for terroristic threats against Joe Rogan. Correct. Did he get arrested again?

[Jared]

No, that was okay.

[Tyler]

Just the one time.

[Jared]

Why? I wonder why he's going after him. Wasn't he already on his podcast?

[Miles]

I don't think so.

[Jared]

The biggest thing was like, Joe Rogan.

[Tyler]

Well, he wants to fight him.

[Jared]

Yeah. I. I don't know all the details. I. I don't know what types of drugs he's using now, but if he could let us know and then put it in supplement form. Be a great marketing strategy.

[Ryan]

So you would like take a supplement that makes you go crazy and get arrested?

[Jared]

No, no, it's more so just building off of him eating bull testicles and whatever else while just juicing with steroids.

[Ryan]

Means the tails oldest time. Nothing is as it seems.

[Jared]

No. God, no. But people believe anything they hear on the Internet.

[Ryan]

It is like. I know, it's like where we complain about the annoying people on the Internet, but it has created a whole new source of comedy for sure. Between the people who can't sing that try and make a music career, to the. The people who just blatantly lie about what they're doing and then get caught later. It's just. Just created a whole new car category of comedy.

[Tyler]

It. It also makes like, just normal, like kind of shitty behavior look way better.

[Ryan]

That's probably true. Yeah. But I'm. I'm kind of here for it. People are like, we need to stop giving these people a platform. It's like, I don't know, dude, you just got entertained for quite a while on that.

[Jared]

I love to laugh.

[Tyler]

You care enough to make a complaint about it. So you felt Something. Something.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

They.

[Jared]

They. They. They become somebody that you can't unfollow because it's so funny to follow them.

[Tyler]

Total trade situation.

[Jared]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Well, also, what's wild is that his wife was. I don't know. His wife was. The videos leading up to him getting arrested, his wife is just, like, in the hotel room with him. Like, sound. Sound like she's on board with what he's gonna go do. So I don't know what. What they're feeding in that.

[Tyler]

What was the threat to Joe?

[Jared]

I. I don't know.

[Tyler]

Know.

[Ryan]

Did he call the cops or did the cop. Did he do it online? And then the cops intervene?

[Tyler]

I think people tipped the cops off about the Liver King was saying.

[Ryan]

Yeah, because I feel like Joe Rogan's not, like.

[Tyler]

I think Joe Rogan would put him in a hospital too.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I don't know enough. What do you think? Who is winning between Liver King and Joe Rogan?

[Jared]

I mean, I think at one point he had, like, the world's strongest, like, spinning heel kick. Kick.

[Miles]

Liver kid?

[Tyler]

No, Rogan Rogan has, like, five black.

[Jared]

Belts, so I think he could probably put him through a brick wall. Spinning heel kick.

[Miles]

Oh, Joe Rogan's pretty old, though.

[Jared]

So is Liver King, though.

[Miles]

Yeah. Lord, for King takes steroids.

[Ryan]

That's true.

[Tyler]

He's like, joey eats elk meat.

[Jared]

Yeah, that. Yes. Point proven.

[Ryan]

Okay, well. Eats balls.

[Tyler]

That's true.

[Jared]

Yeah. Liver King eats. Eats the. The balls of the elk that Joe Rogan's eating.

[Tyler]

It's. Joe Rogan is just giving Liver King the leftover of all. Doesn't want to eat the carcass. Yep. The livers and the testicles all go to Liver King, and Joe eats the rest.

[Miles]

Yeah. Definitely the liver.

[Ryan]

Smart of him to brand himself as a lyric king and not the testicle King.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that was smart.

[Miles]

Doesn't roll off the tongue, though.

[Ryan]

Well, no, the testy king, the testicle tyrant, the gonads king, the gonad God. That'll be the next final boss of alpha males on the Internet.

[Miles]

That could be Ryan's alter ego going ahead.

[Jared]

God, the dingleberry dictator.

[Tyler]

That's not even a body part.

[Ryan]

Just. That's just not even. That's not even, like, clean. Like, it's not even anything to do with eating. You eating dingleberries?

[Jared]

You've never heard of balls called dingleberries before?

[Tyler]

That's not what dingleberries are.

[Jared]

Okay.

[Tyler]

What dingleberries are when. Gets caught in your butt hair and. Oh.

[Jared]

Well, I mean, who knows? Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think you're thinking of twig and berries.

[Tyler]

Yeah, probably.

[Ryan]

People refer to balls as twig and berries.

[Jared]

Okay. Yeah, could have been.

[Miles]

It's well documented.

[Ryan]

Could have been Ryan's like, hey, you want to come over for some. For some bull dingleberries?

[Tyler]

No, not. Not really.

[Jared]

It's probably got a lot of, like, natural testosterone and in it.

[Tyler]

Some small town out there has dingleberry days.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

Gross. All right, Jared, you got a fun fact or no?

[Miles]

I do. Yeah. There have been 27 different versions of the official US flag. Big. From 1977 to 1960.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, there was a lot of iterations going on when we started gaining states.

[Miles]

Yep. And the most recent was Hawaii in 1959. Most recent change.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I think we're pretty locked in. If we don't add any more states, I think. I think we're probably good for a long time on the, like, last thing we need is, you know, the next generation coming in think they're going to leave their mark on the flag and try and re. Graphic design it, you know, like, that happens every off, every so often. You know, like, they'll do a license plate for a state rebrand, and it just ends up looking so clip arty and just bad.

[Tyler]

Minnesota just did a bunch of that. Like, they got a new state flag. They redesigned. Their new license plates are just a black license plate with white text. That's it.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Miles]

Well, those are the ones you pay for. Those are the premium ones.

[Tyler]

Yeah. But they're phasing out the blue ones.

[Jared]

I think those are whiskey places.

[Tyler]

Lights, no whiskey. Opposite, white background, black text.

[Ryan]

Really? They're not doing the. The, like, light blue with, like, the. Isn't there, like, trees on it and.

[Tyler]

Yeah, there's a loon on there.

[Ryan]

Those are sick. Why are we doing that? Stop doing that. Stop redesigning stuff that doesn't need to be redesigned.

[Tyler]

We'll have to add a star for Canada eventually.

[Ryan]

Really? Taller?

[Jared]

Well, yeah. Like, 51 stars or it doesn't. Like, there's no, like, perfect symmetrical pattern to put that in.

[Tyler]

We'll find a spot for them.

[Jared]

Maybe just put one big one.

[Miles]

Maybe one really tiny star. It's hard to see.

[Tyler]

Well, when. When North Dakota and South Dakota combined for mega Coda. And then we'll add Canada, we can leave the flag to stay the same.

[Jared]

That's true.

[Ryan]

If we can get those two things to line up, that'd be great.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Then we don't even have to change the flag at all.

[Tyler]

Mm.

[Miles]

The 15 starflake was the only version to also increase the number of stripes from 13 to 25 for Kentucky and Vermont. But they later reverted back to thirteen stripes to honor the original colonies.

[Ryan]

So for a while, I would love to see a 20. Whatever striped flag do. We can pull that up.

[Miles]

20 stripes.

[Ryan]

Wouldn't. Didn't you say there was like 20.

[Miles]

Oh, fifth. 15 stripes.

[Tyler]

Stripes.

[Ryan]

Oh, 15. Yeah. I would like to get a little peep at that, though.

[Miles]

It looks a little weird.

[Ryan]

I looked it up earlier.

[Jared]

15 stripes or 15 stars, it's called.

[Miles]

It's 15 stripes, but it's called 15 stars. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Because that was at that point. Were they adding a star and a stripe for each. Each new state?

[Miles]

I think.

[Tyler]

I'll be honest, at a quick glance, I wouldn't even been able to.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it just looks taller, I suppose. What's that flag with the circle and the ones on the outside? Is that one.

[Tyler]

Because the first one was just a circle, Correct?

[Miles]

Yep.

[Tyler]

The original Betsy Ross.

[Ryan]

I like it. Well, what a very patriotic fun fact. Jared for fourth of July. Guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of you Bet your Radio. Have a phenomenal fourth of July weekend. And stay safe out there, folks. Oh, you betcha.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

Rigatoni Haktua. Would just like to thank you boys for the H Vac train. Raining AC wasn't keeping up in the. In the heat and past couple days, replace the air filter. It works great.

[Ryan]

Now let's go. We can turn my woes into positives for other people. That's what it's all about, folks.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, yeah. I mean, I got. I'll do the work that the H Vac world should have been doing since the beginning of time. If I gotta be the martyr for this, if I gotta be the one person to. Ah, just grinds my gears. Why is no one in that industry talking about how important air filters are? If this has got to be my stance, if this has got to be my platform, then I'll do it.

[Miles]

Boy Pulpit.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

When in doubt, change your air filters. All your problems go away in life. I'm gonna go home tonight and change my air filters just for fun.

[Jared]

Every. Every time you change thermostat batteries, smoke detector batteries, change your air filters at the same time, do them all at once, you're done with it, you can do it in the next quarter.

[Ryan]

If you wait till that though, it's. You're gonna miss your. You apparently need to be changing your air filters every three days just to keep a running system. You're gonna miss some stuff. You do it off of. Of smoke detector batteries. Those suckers.

[Jared]

That's true. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do.

[Ryan]

So I'm. What's his name?

[Jared]

Rigatoni.

[Ryan]

Hawk to Aon Rigatoni. I am. Hey, glad I could help. Glad I could bring awareness to this thing plaguing America. We could do air filters, the silent killer.

[Jared]

We could start, like, a gofundme for you, too, with all the money that you've drained into H Vac repairs. People who actually get benefit from us talking about it.

[Ryan]

I'll be the martyr. I'll die. I'll die for the air filter game.

[Jared]

All your life's earnings going into H Vac Education.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I might open up an H Vac Education community center and have awareness. Yeah. And have. Have luncheons and happy hours. And then we'll probably do a golf tournament once a year.

[Jared]

That sounds sweet, actually. And then you can come out with your own air filter with an alarm on it.

[Miles]

Rim rim job. Randy, it's been a minute. Randy, do you eat the skin of your baked potatoes? As someone from Idaho, I eat the skin 100 of the time.

[Ryan]

If some skin gets in my mouth, I'm not gonna spit it out. But I'm not intentionally going after the skin. I usually scoop it out.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Jared]

I eat all the skin.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Jared]

I cut it up like a steak. Once all the insides is gone, it's the pulp.

[Ryan]

Like a. Like a regular brown baked potat. I'm not. But, like, you have, like, the smaller red potatoes. Yeah, I'm just. Yeah, I'll pop those things in my mouth. It's like. I don't know why that is. Like, I'll cut the slit in a baked potato, put the sour cream, all that stuff in there, and then scoop the potato out and leave the skin. But when they're smaller potatoes, I'll eat the whole thing. I don't understand it.

[Tyler]

The smaller. The red potatoes, those little guys, the skin's way better.

[Jared]

I would agree. They're better on red, I think, too. With the. The baked potato, you probably get full from. You know, if it's loaded especially, you probably get full by the time you get to the skin.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I just. I. Well. And when you bake it like that, I don't know, it, like, the texture just feels like I'm eating a brown paper bag.

[Tyler]

It does. It's like. It's, like, kind of leathery.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

You definitely need some sour cream and on the side to dip it in.

[Ryan]

Now, a steamed potato, I would eat the whole thing with the skin a little bit softer.

[Jared]

A little.

[Ryan]

I feel like when you bake it, this turns into a paper bag.

[Jared]

I don't love that like leather stuff skin almost.

[Tyler]

You take those skins though, and you deep fry them and put some cheddar on there. I'm in.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Potato skins.

[Jared]

Yeah, those are fire.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Wedges.

[Jared]

Yeah. I'm a big potato wedge guy.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just something about the brown paper bag feel of a baked potato.

[Miles]

Yeah. I need a hand job. How many innings is Tyler making it during the whiffle ball game before he's his leg snap abs.

[Ryan]

Well, I've been thinking about that a little bit. We're gonna need to mitigate the amount of contacts and or soft tissue injuries he may run into.

[Tyler]

I don't need to run home runs every time.

[Ryan]

We gotta play defense.

[Tyler]

I. I'm gonna be like Merrill from the movie signs. I'm either striking out or I'm hitting a dinger. That's it.

[Ryan]

What about defense?

[Tyler]

I'll pitch. Ryan's not gonna be there.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean that's probably your least likely injury.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Because you're playing first base. I mean, I got collisions with ankles left and right.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

That is the foot that'll be on the bag too.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I don't think we can put you at first base.

[Miles]

It was just left.

[Tyler]

That's why I played in Legion. I can dig a ball.

[Ryan]

This just in too. Jared is officially in on the whiff.

[Miles]

Yeah, I confirmed.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Hell yeah.

[Jared]

Way to confirm.

[Ryan]

See how easy that is?

[Tyler]

Got right field cover crazy.

[Miles]

I'm really good right fielder.

[Ryan]

Yeah. When it's a left. When it's a right handed batter.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's a lefty batter. We're going to flip you over left field.

[Tyler]

Just because of the batter's tendency.

[Ryan]

Not you do usually in wiffle ball and slow pitch stuff. They usually push it. They go oppo field.

[Jared]

Usually oppo popo.

[Miles]

Be fun if they're a switch hitter. They just follow me wherever.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're just exhausted from running back and forth.

[Miles]

But update. Tyler listened to Sam Barber and he liked them.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I like Sam Barber's top five songs are good. I. I will say I don't know if I would love a Sam Barber concert because he's kind of like more slower moody. I really like the music, but I don't know, I don't like those kind of concerts. I like high energy, hype up stuff.

[Jared]

Yeah. Like death metal.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

True blood.

[Tyler]

True blood.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I don't think we ever said that he wasn't good we said we never heard him. And I was just worried you were going to a Hairball or Blenders.

[Jared]

I'm not cover. I'm not a cover band guy.

[Tyler]

Christmas in July, Blenders edition.

[Ryan]

I thought maybe you're going to 32 below.

[Jared]

Oh, God.

[Tyler]

Those guys still exist?

[Jared]

I think they. Yeah, I don't know.

[Ryan]

The original crew, I think, is all done, but I think the band still lives on.

[Tyler]

I think a. We have a CD player in our kitchen, one of those under cabinet CD players. And I busted out my old CD case the other day, and I have a 32 below CD.

[Ryan]

That's sick.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah. I think.

[Ryan]

Pop it in.

[Tyler]

No, I. We listen to the Grease soundtrack instead.

[Jared]

Spoiler alert.

[Miles]

Sorry about that.

[Tyler]

That's not a spoiler at all.

[Jared]

Well, anytime you.

[Ryan]

I didn't know it was a musical.

[Jared]

Anytime you talk, there's music in every movie.

[Miles]

That's not true.

[Tyler]

Name one movie that doesn't have a soundtrack.

[Miles]

No. Country for Old Men.

[Tyler]

Is that true? Yeah.

[Miles]

There's no music. Well, there's one mariachi band.

[Tyler]

There's a song.

[Miles]

It's not a soundtrack, though.

[Jared]

A Quiet Place. I don't think that has a soundtrack.

[Tyler]

It does.

[Jared]

And there's not a single word said in the whole movie.

[Tyler]

They talk in the movie.

[Jared]

Anyway.

[Ryan]

Anyways.

[Miles]

Anyways. Iced Mount her stump. Miles, switch lives with Tyler or Ryan for 48 hours.
