Miles
Welcome back to you bet. Your radio podcast, the coldest podcast in all the Midwest. I'm Miles the bet you guy here with Ryan the T shirt guy. We are live. We are presented by Ice Mountain. And we are back and ready to roll, folks.
Ryan
What's going on, everybody?
Tyler
Hey, Ryan.
Jared
Hey, Ryan.
Tyler
Hey, Miles Tyler. Hey, Jared.
Jared
Howdy.
Miles
So this week, let's see, it's not quite Christmas yet. Next week is Christmas, correct? Yes. We'll get an episode out before Christmas.
Tyler
Yep. Busy schedule or recording schedules off. So we're a little out of whack.
Miles
Yeah. So no Christmas? No, no. Well, actually, today is the last day you can get merchandise and get it before Christmas. Ah, you got to get that.
Ryan
It is, yeah.
Miles
Today.
Ryan
Yeah. I'd probably get it in the 17th, but.
Miles
But they won't be listening to this on the 7th. Oh, seven nights.
Ryan
That's true.
Tyler
Four minutes on the 17th to get.
Ryan
Get it in before noon on the 18th because then I'll have a chance if postal service comes Wednesday. And I. I can't do anything about that. If you do it Wednesday night, the 18th, I'm not. I won't get it out. Postal service closed.
Miles
So we got all sorts of deals. We got stocking stuff for bundles if they're not gone. We have $5 hats. We have $30 vest. We got just 40 to 70% off the entire site.
Ryan
We got sub. 400 tongs left. Come on now.
Miles
So you got to go check out ou bet you dot com. We know you guys are late minute shopper. You're just like us.
Tyler
I haven't. I haven't bought a single thing yet.
Miles
I know. I'm going to go down the warehouse Sauce Ryan, a $20 bill and take whatever I need to on December 23rd. Third.
Ryan
Yeah. I'll give you 5pm Give you a penny back.
Miles
Yeah. So go check it out, guys. Today I got a little segment for you guys.
Tyler
Oh.
Miles
This one's near and dear to my heart because this is what got me through work in construction. And so the segment today is things that'll get you bullied on the job site. Getting bullied on the job site is not the same as getting bullied in real life, in my opinion.
Tyler
No, no, no, no.
Miles
It's just a rite of passage. It's a way of communicating. It just comes in bullied form. I mean, what, I mean, I. I.
Tyler
Honestly think that there's different types of bullying on the. Like, you can bully your best friend and that's how he knows he's best friend on the Job site. If you started actually being nice to him and treating him like a friend, something's wrong 100%.
Miles
You're. You're usually start perking up a little bit. So the number one. Well, not number one. These are in no particular order, but something that will get you bullet on the job site, especially our job site, is not knowing the correct name for something we had. So the. When you're laying a footing, you put rebar inside the footing, and there are these, like, chair, metal chair things you stick in the ground. That keeps the rebar off of the ground, so it ends up going in the middle of the footing and not on the ground. One guy called them stairs instead of chairs. And not only did we let him have it, we never let him forget it. And then. But what's funny is, is then to make fun of him, we only called them stairs from that.
Tyler
And then it became normal.
Miles
And then it became normal. So now if someone new came out of the job site, they would try to make fun of us for calling them stairs. We would then get mad like, what.
Tyler
Do you think they're called? Chairs.
Ryan
You'd make fun of him because he wasn't quite in on the base yet.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
The best thing about making fun of someone that doesn't know how, it could be a new guy. And he has no right, no reason to know the correct name. You still give him shit for it.
Miles
Yeah. And then you just never let them forget it.
Tyler
Mm.
Ryan
So, see, I didn't work on job. I didn't work on a job site when I was, like, old enough to be able to give people shit and know that dynamic. But just based off of personal experience, I feel like if someone on the job site is on a diet and they. They talk about it, like, at lunch, or they, like, someone brings donuts in and you refuse them because you're, like, on a diet. You're watching what you eat. I feel like you'll get ripped a new one for that.
Miles
I think. I think even a broader stroke of this is if you change anything about yourself, you're gonna get made fun of.
Tyler
No, I. I wrote down on my list, making any healthy life choices will immediately get you roasted on the job site. Like, oh, hey, you've been running, you loser.
Miles
God, you're a for running. Oh, what, are you losing weight?
Tyler
That must be nice. So much time on your hands. You can go for a jog.
Miles
I'm. It's.
Tyler
I'm too busy gr.
Miles
Grinding my ass off. You can go running after work because you didn't spend any energy working at work.
Jared
You have an apple in your lunchbox.
Tyler
Your grandma pack that for you?
Miles
So wait, you are drinking water? Why aren't you drinking an energy drink? You know, like, who cares if you have kidney stones?
Tyler
Push them out. Be a man.
Miles
Yeah, that was a guy on job site did get kidney stones from drinking too many energy drinks. He was distraught that he was gonna have to start drinking.
Tyler
Oh, no. And then you give them for drinking water even though it's a medical condition.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Oh, yeah. What are you doing? Saying hydrate. What if.
Ryan
What if, like, someone gets a new pair of boots? Do you get.
Miles
For wearing. Yeah, that was on my list. New gear.
Tyler
Any new gear.
Miles
Any new gear will instantly get. You made fun of.
Tyler
To your point, though, right? I think new boots are the most bullied new item.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
You gotta scuff those bad boys up before the first day.
Miles
But a little piece of advice, kind of like Jared did with his tree attendant. This tree ceremony, you got new gear, you gotta get ahead of it. I specifically remembering this one guy got a new. Not even a full new tool belt. He just got a new bucket or whatever.
Tyler
One new pouch.
Miles
One new bag or pouch on the side. First thing he said, he come in. I had to get a new one last night because my other one I wore out and was ripping apart.
Ryan
Gotta ahead of it.
Miles
He just instantly got ahead of it with the exact reason why he did it. He didn't want to do it, but he had to. Yeah, I didn't want to get new boots, but literally I was getting bunions on my feet from my old shoes, and my doctor told me I had to get new.
Tyler
They were literally only held together by duct tape. So I had to get new boots.
Miles
The only time it's okay to have a new shirt is if it's like there was a chili feed for construction workers and they are handing out free shoes. Yeah. I remember there was a company in town that would have, like, a chili feed once a year. And the guys who were not, like, the guys who had been there for many, many years, and this is what they're doing for their living. And I was kind of just there in college. And a year after college, it's all they could talk about for a week.
Ryan
And a half leading up to it.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. I was like, forever. I might show you Fritos with my chili. Yeah, it's like, do you think they'll let me get two bowls of chili?
Tyler
Pregame film sessions for chili.
Ryan
Maybe I should bring a couple roller dogs in my in my pocket. Make a chili dog.
Miles
Yeah. And then it's like reports. What's the quickest route from the job site? Over there.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Hey. Hey, bud. Do you think we could get out early for the.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miles
Schmoozing the boss for an extra 15 minutes of lunch just because of the chili feed.
Ryan
I'm gonna.
Miles
It's a big deal.
Ryan
I'm gonna.
Miles
Big deal.
Ryan
I'll go on a limb and say your, your dad wasn't attending these chili feeds.
Miles
No.
Ryan
God, I didn't think so.
Tyler
Was he going to any social events with his employees?
Miles
Well, the Christmas party.
Tyler
Oh yeah. He has to be at that one.
Miles
And then when I never got to go on out of town job. When they go to out of time jobs, they just go to the bar after work.
Ryan
What's a. What's a concrete Christmas party look like?
Miles
Well, we used to do it at the Bowler.
Ryan
Okay.
Jared
Good spot.
Miles
And I mean it's just everyone gets a drink for free. So you just get pictures of beer.
Tyler
Was Dave just enamored by the amount of Civil War cannonballs that were at the bowling?
Miles
They ruined this cannonball by putting these holes in it.
Tyler
What does this one say? Ate on it.
Miles
No, I have a video somewhere of Dave bowling at the Christmas party. I gotta pull that up.
Tyler
That's gotta go on Patreon. Patreon.
Miles
I just remember one of the guys on the flat crew got really hammered drunk. And it was, it was around the time where the joke, my name is Jeff. And he just kept saying it and wouldn't stop and he's like so loud.
Tyler
Was his name Jeff?
Ryan
No, it was after that.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
So you should just start calling him Jeff after that Christmas party. So he couldn't live down a shit face. He got now annoying, he was.
Tyler
Another thing that gets you bullied on the job site and it's total bullshit, is asking questions. You ask questions, you're going to get fudgeing roasted for it no matter what.
Miles
Just need to either get the information from someone telepathically or you just should fucking know. Even if you've never done it before. And it's not a skill that normal people learn.
Ryan
You should just know that was kind of like pheasant. On this last weekend. We'd get out, we're like. We weren't really sure what strip we. We would be walking or like how far down we should go. And you're like, ah, this is. I mean this is classic concrete construction. Community communication.
Miles
One guy just starts walking and you just follow him. Yeah, it's not like, yeah, we're gonna spread out to the edge over here, and then this. And then we're gonna walk west. It's just like one guy starts walking, and then you go and you kind of stand next to him, and then he kind of gives you a look at why he's standing so close to me. So you spread out, and then the line starts forming on its own with no. It was. Also, there's two old farmer guys that we hunt with and therefore, town talk like, we're working. I don't know what we're doing. That's how they talk. And I witnessed a conversation between them, and the one guy said, well, where. Where are we hunting next? And the other guy just goes over there. The guy was like, all right. Like, knew exactly where he was talking about, and all he said was, over there. These guys got it down.
Tyler
How long have they known each other?
Ryan
They're brothers.
Tyler
Oh, yeah. They've just. They can read each other's body language.
Miles
Yeah. You would have thought they were twins at this point. Just speaking with their mind. That was so funny over there. All right. And then he just got in the bus and knew exactly where to drive.
Tyler
I just. The. The whole asking questions thing. I remember, like, my first week on the roof, I asked where we had these big carts that. What you would use to carry the insulation to make the pitch of the roof. Right. And I was like, where do I find those carts? They're like, I don't know where to find them. Why don't you go find them yourself? You need me to hold your hand while you go take a piss, too?
Miles
Jesus.
Tyler
Jesus, dude, I'm just trying to do my job.
Ryan
Yeah, that's the thing.
Tyler
No.
Miles
Well, then it's. It's not only getting pissed when they ask you how to do it. You tell them just to do it, and they do it wrong. And then you get mad at them for doing it wrong. Yeah, it's just patented construction behavior.
Tyler
Well, and also, if you. If you go and do something without being asked to do it, you also get made fun of for that. It's because, like, you're kissing the boss.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. You're overachieving.
Miles
Yeah. We used to call that hero mode.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
You carry more than two boards at one time. Whoa, Superman. Well, you gotta go hero mode. The boss isn't even here. Who are you trying to impress?
Tyler
Trying to make everyone look bad?
Miles
Cundiff was patented hero mode guy. And his name, I don't think was Condif. I think we only knew his first name was Billy. Okay. So we just called him Billy Cundiff. And then it became Cundiff, and then it became Cundy.
Tyler
So dangerously close to being Australian.
Miles
Yeah, Crocodile Cundy.
Ryan
I would be.
Miles
That guy was crazy. He would work all day with one earbud in. Just listen to death metal in one ear.
Ryan
Hell yeah.
Tyler
You also. It's on the flip side, you will also get made fun of if you have to be asked to do something. So you'll get made fun of for doing something you weren't asked to do. And you'll also get made fun of for having to be asked to do something by anyone.
Miles
Or like, the boss asks you to go run an errand, anything. Yeah, because that was. If you got to go drive in the truck at any point during the day, you are the laziest piece of have fun. We're gonna do all the work while you're running around paid by the hour. But we. We had a point where even, like, if you had a day off, even for like a funeral, the person wouldn't be there. And we would just walk around. If Tyler wasn't there, I'd say, like, don't worry, Tyler. We got it. He's not even there. Another one I have is doing things very safely, being safe and cautious. I remember we nicknamed a guy OSHA because one time I was cutting rebar without any glasses on, and he came over and offered me his glasses. And I was like, the. Are you doing. What are you osha? You're. You're monitoring me cutting rebar. Like, watch your own bobber. And the whole time, work there. I just called Emotion. The rest of the time, he's just.
Tyler
Be such a nice guy.
Miles
And that leads to. The other one I have is just being nice.
Tyler
Yeah, you bullied, Honestly.
Miles
Hey, man, I got you a Mountain Dew. I was at the gas station. You trying to kiss me?
Ryan
What do you want?
Miles
What do you want to have sex with me? Fucking weirdo.
Tyler
Honestly, anything that improves your life will get you made fun of being healthy. Safety. Being a nice person doesn't fly on the job site.
Miles
It just. You can't be doing that.
Ryan
Okay, you want to know one thing that's probably not going to get you bullied on the job site?
Tyler
What?
Ryan
Let's say if you bring a fat case of Ice mountain, not only will.
Tyler
You not get bullied for that, you'd be the hero.
Ryan
Actually, no, you might get bullied for bringing a case of water because you. You'll just be like the over hydrated Guy. It's like, you don't want to be, though. It's like, oh, well, yeah, I do. If I'm going to get bullied for anything, it's going to be for my water. My body being 95% water, that's something.
Tyler
You should be willing to be bullied for, is caring for the rest of your co workers and your own body.
Ryan
Yeah. And you know, it's. It's kind of like a kid who is trying. Like his parents are trying to tell him something. He always goes, I know, I. They're not really going to know until later on in life. And you know, guys on the job site, they might be 40, 50 years old. It might take them till 70 or 80 to realize, you know what? The ice mountain guy on the job site that summer, God, he was right.
Tyler
Yeah. So don't let your body dehydrate and shrivel up. Take it off the chin when you get there. Bring a case of water for everybody. You might get teased a little bit, but it's going to be worth it in the long run.
Ryan
Yeah, you don't want to look like a raisin at 70 years old because you have no hydration in your body. So, uh, guys, ice Mountain Water, water.com. go get yourself a case. Get hydrated. Prize picks time, guys. Miles and Jared are out of the office this week. They did send their picks in. They're on another trip. So we're gonna read those off here shortly. But y'all know the drill. Prize picks app. Sign up with code YBR and you get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup. So you put five bucks in, you play your first $5 lineup, you get 50 back. You don't even need to win your line. The 50 bonus free money. It's guaranteed. The only thing. The only thing free. Well, cost you five bucks to get the 50.
Tyler
Yeah, but it's like, who. Who's not going to spend $5 to get $50?
Ryan
It's like, hey, maybe drive one less mile this week. So you can. Or 12 less miles. If you drive a big old truck.
Tyler
Like me, dig around them couch cushions.
Ryan
You'Ll find that $5, throw it into prize picks and fire off that first five dollar lineup. Guys, again, code ybr. You get fifty dollars free and you can go. Fifty bucks. Can get you a long way in price picks.
Tyler
A super long way.
Ryan
Because price picks now offers 1000x lineup.
Tyler
Yeah, brother.
Ryan
Which essentially how you get to the 1000x is we like to do quarterback or running back. 1000x lineup, you have to use the, the little, the little two arrow circle deal.
Tyler
Toggle it.
Ryan
Toggle, toggle it to its highest red devil. You do six of those in a full lineup and it's more than likely it's going to be the thousand X. So we're talking, you know, you put that five bucks on. On a thousand extra.
Tyler
I put 20 bucks to win 20 grand on a thousand extra.
Ryan
It like, again, they don't make it easy to hit a thousand extras, nor do they. Yeah, it's very tough. But if you know sports and you like firing on sports, Prize Picks is going to be the app for you. And we are here to give you our. You bet your radio lineup of the week.
Tyler
Ride with us.
Ryan
You can ride with us. You can die with us. Last week was tough.
Tyler
It was tough.
Ryan
Really tough week. I think we came. I think we came out like six bucks ahead as a group.
Tyler
Not on our YBR1. Correct.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, we, we send, you know, we'll like to trickle in. Pretty much everyone, everyone in the studio sends a lineup on Sunday mornings that we don't put in the UX radio episode.
Tyler
Hey, we won $2 off of mine.
Ryan
I think we won four something off of my $424 and 20 cents, so. All right, let's get into this week's YBR lineup, guys. We're gonna hit one of these eventually and I hope that you're a part of it when we do. Let's start it off. I'll start it off with mine. I have Kirk cousins, more than 233.5 passing yards. Tyler, what do you got?
Tyler
I got Cameron Dicker, the kicker, more than seven and a half kicking points. I'm undefeated on kicking points. I don't think people know that, but I am.
Ryan
Yeah, I'm not a big sack sacks guy.
Tyler
Yeah, the sack didn't hit for me last week.
Ryan
So the sack didn't hit for you last week. And then Jared had one last night that didn't hit either.
Tyler
I had one last night that did hit, but not. Nothing else hit. I had a Jonathan Garnard sack. Anyway. Yeah, Jared texted is in. He's got Derrick Henry, more than 87 and a half rushing yards.
Ryan
Probably a pretty. I mean, that's Jared. Jared's hot. He gets hot.
Tyler
He does.
Ryan
He gets hot.
Tyler
He. He was off last week. He's in this week on Derek Henry Miles sent a video in. So we'll just play that video right? Meow.
Miles
All right. This week for prize picks, I got Josh Allen, 247 1/2 pass yards more than. Guy is on a heater. I think he's gonna keep it going in New England. So 247 and a half hammer the more.
Ryan
Okay. Josh Allen more than two 47 and a half. Him and Jared Goff went off.
Tyler
That was a fun ass game, Josh.
Ryan
And golf did go off. Bills ended up pulling through. I like two 47 and a half more than miles on super, super cold streak. He's got to pull one out of his ass here soon. Do okay. So to. To recap our YBR lineup of the week. Kirk Cousins, more than 233.5 passing yards. Cameron Dicker more than 7.5 kicking points. Josh Allen, more than 247.5 passing yards. And Derrick Henry more than 87.5 rushing yards. Guys, it's gotta be our week eventually. It's gotta be our week. So ride with us, die with us. Prize picks. Code ybr. Go get it. I feel like if, like if you're the. If you're the first guy to take your shirt off every day in the summer just because you're like kind of in shape, you would get so much for that.
Tyler
We weren't allowed to take ours off, but I'm sure you're right. I. We would absolutely rip into somebody if you.
Ryan
Why couldn't you take your shirt off?
Tyler
Corporate. We were a bigger company.
Jared
Oh.
Tyler
Like, yeah. Image we had. We had pretty strict safety officers too. So we would always talk to them. So yes, being this the safety officer we hated because we'd have to tie off. We're flat roofers. We don't need to tie off. We're not on a pitch.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
We didn't have that issue. We would. As soon as it gets hot out, you pop that sucker off. You're in a hole. There's no wind down there.
Tyler
True.
Ryan
I. I would. I would get so much on a construction site if I was working. We kind of work for your dad. I would. I would. I'd cry and run home.
Tyler
How long would you last? You think I'd last seen whole.
Ryan
I would outlast everybody else. That's just my personality.
Miles
Well, no. So the problem would be is if you show that you can't take the joke.
Ryan
Correct.
Miles
You then become the largest target on the job site. And so Ryan would get defensive about something he shouldn't be getting defensive about and then it would just be game over. I don't know if it can't show any weakness.
Ryan
Yeah. I don't know if it. If I'd go into defensive mode, I think would just like double the amount of, let's say, trash talk that I was, I was getting. So like if someone does something to me, I'm again, I'm a revenge guy. I'm notorious for doing something.
Miles
Would it be in like a haha banter way? You would be like, oh, he's actually mad at me. And that would be your downfall. Cuz people like, okay, you just can't show ever that. But you, yeah, you also. Unless you can't ever show you got mad at someone for making fun of you.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
Because then it's like, oh God, can't take a joke.
Tyler
Like what a two.
Miles
Yeah, go cry. Cry to the boss.
Tyler
Oh, that's another thing that'll get you made fun of being related to the boss.
Miles
That is true. That is true. I didn't get it too bad. But I know they were saying tons of shit behind my back.
Tyler
We worked with my crew, had the boss's kid and it was just any time he said anything. Yes, sir, boss's son, sir.
Ryan
I like that.
Miles
I bet he loved that.
Tyler
He did.
Miles
God. What were you saying?
Ryan
Taking shirt off. I'd be if I worked on a good construction site.
Miles
Oh, I was gonna say is we actually used to. It wasn't that he put sunscreen on, but how much and how often one guy put sunscreen on. We kind of bullied him for.
Tyler
Hey.
Miles
Because he would like get down the hole and his skin would just be white. Because he also like wouldn't rub it in. Very good.
Jared
Yeah, Zuckerberg.
Miles
No, he was a ginger. So I like, I guess I. But I mean roll the dice once in a while.
Tyler
Are you being racist to gingers right now?
Miles
I don't know.
Tyler
Am I racially insensitive?
Miles
I don't know. I guess nobody likes gingers.
Tyler
Yeah, it's fine. Guys put on way too much fucking sunscreen. Loser.
Miles
Jared, what would you get boy for at the old trailer Trailer shop?
Jared
I was thinking like landscaping, but I.
Miles
Think, well, yeah, or whatever.
Jared
I was. If you're just the youngest, you'll get bullied.
Tyler
Yeah, that's a good one.
Miles
That's pretty much your age because you also just always end up be doing the jobs right just by seniority.
Jared
It's like a college kid like, oh, are you going to college? You know, getting educated.
Ryan
Yeah, like I, I, I bet the week, I bet the week leading up to like the call, like college, summer, help, going back to school. I mean, it's just no mercy against them.
Tyler
The the first week, because that's when I worked on the roof. It was in between summers every year during college and it was. How was your vacation? Oh, can't wait, you're getting out of here. When we do all the hard jobs, just like, like that. And then the foreman would be like, how come you can't figure it out? You got a college education? Yeah, it's like rich.
Miles
The one thing that we had going for us when we'd show up in the summer is that I. My dad wouldn't hire anyone else because he knew we were coming. So the guys that were working full time there were just strapped.
Tyler
So they were just pumped.
Miles
They're having to do all of the. They're doing the same amount of work, but they were having to do it all. So they would like, they wouldn't have to do as much work. So they kind of like that, I think.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I don't know what else Jared.
Tyler
I had.
Jared
Yeah, I had something like, with the food, like the healthy lunch, like, especially because we. I had a former that would go out to eat for lunch every day, like McDonald's or whatever. And like if you brought your own lunch, like, oh, you brought your own lunch today type of thing.
Miles
Well, yeah, it's. Or it's like the group is going to Pizza Ranch and you say, no, I brought a lunch. It's like, throw it away. Yeah, yeah, put that in the fridge and eat it tomorrow. Yeah, it's like it's an egg salad sandwich and it's been in my hot car all. Would you guys know who's eating egg salad sandwich?
Ryan
Dude, egg salad is fire.
Tyler
Dude. I like egg salad.
Miles
No, I know, but you bringing that for work.
Tyler
Yeah. It's an insane thing to keep in a cooler in a hot summer day.
Ryan
Do you guys eat lunch at the job site or do you go back to the shop?
Miles
No. God. If we went back to the shop for no reason, my dad would have been pissed.
Tyler
They were super strict about us. We, we would leave if it was or restaurant really close. But they were super strict about the 30 minute lunch break. Like if you were a minute over, it's coming out of your paycheck.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
One minute over, you're getting paid how much an hour?
Tyler
I think I was getting 14 or 15.
Miles
Let's just say 16 bucks.
Ryan
Say 60 bucks an hour. You then could just get 59 bucks that hour.
Miles
So you divide that by four. So you lost 25 cents for being a minute late.
Tyler
Right.
Miles
But they would just still get stomach.
Tyler
They would just get pissed at us.
Ryan
And if you have a cute. If you have a, A, A coupon. When to the place you're going out for lunch.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
You basically save that 25 cents.
Miles
Yeah, yeah. Or if it's a chili. Free chili food. You actually made money.
Ryan
Yeah. Well, you should be like, well, well, I, I took a 29 minute lunch yesterday. You can't you tell me I can't take a 31 minute lunch?
Tyler
He had a kid on the roof. He sits down. We were roofing a dog food plant in perm. Huge ass roof, roof. And he kind of like goes off by himself to eat his lunch. We're like, where are you going? He's like, oh, nowhere. And he comes and sits back down by us, eats his lunch. And then he pulls a book out of his cooler.
Miles
No.
Tyler
And starts to read his book. And he let we call him Dr. Seuss for the rest of the summer. I completely forgot about that until you brought up lunch.
Miles
Oh my God. That is a great thing to get bullied for.
Jared
Mental sweat.
Miles
Yeah. If anyone would have pulled out a book on lunch break. Oh my God, it's again, he's just.
Tyler
Trying to better his life with a little bit of free time he gets during the day. And I like reading, but God, did he get ripped apart for that book. And I, I'll admit, I was a pack animal. I jumped right in on the bullying.
Ryan
You were reading.
Miles
The guy basically asked for it.
Tyler
He did.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
He's a musical theater major.
Miles
Read the room. He's a musical theater.
Tyler
So he got a lot of for that too.
Miles
Just because you're a musical theater doesn't mean you gotta read books on your lunch break.
Tyler
Yeah. And you. He's a music teacher now, but it's like he was so old. He's like, read the. Read the roof, buddy. That's the first week one. He's like, I'm gonna be a music teacher when I finish college. It's gonna be so much fun. And all these gruff old degenerate bastards like, what the hell?
Miles
That's also the same thing. Like if you have anything outside of work that you're proud of. Instantly made fun of. We would have made fun of that guy about music stuff the whole time he worked there.
Tyler
Yep. But props to him. He did stick it out the whole summer. We had a whole betting pool on how long he would last. He made it the whole time.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
You have to. That's the only way to get back at the people giving you. You have to just keep showing up. I mean, really, it Is.
Miles
Yeah. You're like, girlfriend's like, why do you. Why do you work? Go get a different job somewhere else. Like, no, they make fun of me. Yeah. Go get another job. Like, no, if I get another job, they win.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So I'm just gonna stay miserable. Just so they can also be miserable. The second I leave, they're gonna be happy.
Jared
You win bets on me.
Miles
So. Yeah. Yeah. Just. It's. And it's not bullying is a bad word for it. It's more razzing. Yeah. It's just a goof. You know, making fun of a guy for having a lifelong dream of being a music teacher isn't bullying. It's just raz.
Tyler
Poking, poking.
Ryan
I mean, like, yeah, some guy, like, has dreams to do, like. Like, get a good job. Whatever they're getting from the guy who's been working concrete for 20 years straight. That's the type of. I would use back in response if I was getting on a job site.
Tyler
Not get you any favors.
Miles
I know. It's. It's. It would be like oil and water.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Is that the right phrase?
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
Aggregate.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
They don't mix oil and water. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, a lot of this goes into our next segment, boys, and it's kind of very similar, but a question I have for you guys is, what are things that you wish were socially acceptable? Right. On a job site, I wish it was socially acceptable. Throw an apple in your lunchbox once in a while. But it's just not. Yeah. So what do you guys think? Something that you wish was socially acceptable.
Tyler
I mean, an easy one. For me. I wish picking your nose was socially acceptable. It's so much easier to get a dry, deep one out with your finger than it is.
Miles
Well, so here's the question. So my kid Anne bought this little tool thing that has different ends on it that you can use to, like, pick your kid's nose to get a deep booger out. He hates it, by the way.
Ryan
Tickles.
Miles
But if I brought that in and we're in a meeting and I just started picking my nose, is that socially acceptable?
Tyler
I don't think so. So if. If I did that, it'd be like the construction you'd start giving me if I was just sticking something up my nose right now.
Miles
So what if I took a Kleenex and put it on like a ghost costume and then stuck my finger in my nose, Is that socially acceptable? Because I don't see people do that.
Ryan
I don't think. I don't think so. I think any.
Tyler
It's not. Which is because it should be.
Ryan
I think if, if, if your whole nail enters your, your nose, I think that's socially unacceptable.
Tyler
Right. The only thing that's like you can maybe get by with these.
Miles
That's my patented mood. I, I, I just do, I podcast. You just take the old thumb and for whatever reason it's better. It just looks like you're itching.
Tyler
Yep.
Ryan
Why, why is the thumb socially acceptable.
Miles
But it's not a finger?
Tyler
Cuz you can't really see it going into your mouth.
Ryan
That is true.
Miles
Yeah. If it was just like it could be a scratch.
Jared
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
Side profile.
Tyler
It's like, it's, it's, it's a way better way to remove boogers that are not snot.
Miles
I also think like, like we have toilets, right. So you just stand there and pissing them. Why don't we just have like a bucket that you snot rocket into? Oh, you do it in the garbage. But like have a designated snot rocket area and make that socially acceptable. Because nothing's better than a snot rocket.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
I do in the shower every single morning and gets pissed, but it feels so good afterwards.
Tyler
There's also nothing worse than a, a failed snot rocket.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
He gets caught. Yeah.
Miles
It's like your beard. Well, I guess I gotta wash my face again.
Ryan
Yep.
Jared
So I go back in the shower.
Miles
I think it would, I think it should be so more socially acceptable to wear Velcro shoes.
Tyler
Hell yeah, dude.
Miles
Like hell yeah. It A Velcro shoe does the same thing as a laces shoe. What happened when Velcro, I'm guessing Velcro was invented before the string or after the string. And why weren't people like, oh my God, this is advancement in technology. The same way we said AI is going to take us to the next level when Velcro was invented. Why did we not go? These shoes are going to take us to the next level. We're gonna have so much extra time that we don't have to tie our shoes that we can get back now.
Tyler
Now I, I bought a pair of Velcro shoes in high school. But it was a joke. I did it as a joke because I'm like, look how stupid these are. I'm wearing them. Ha. But they were actually great.
Miles
Awesome.
Tyler
And they were like nine bucks from Walmart.
Miles
Yeah, I know.
Ryan
Well, and now there's like a measurement in kids of like, at what age do they learn how to tie their shoes?
Miles
What age? It's like get out of Velcro shoes. I think I bullied you one time, Jared, for having velcro shoes.
Tyler
I was.
Jared
Till second grade.
Miles
I know. And I. Looking back now, I regret that. Me, I bullied you for. That is not an apology or a backpedal.
Ryan
You fell into the social norm.
Miles
It's just what I would call a perspective moment. You know, I've changed my perspective on this. Okay. And I'm starting to think you were doing it right. Why do we. What do we need laces for?
Ryan
Kids could, like, put their own shoes on and, like, tighten them so much quicker in age if they use velcro than tying them.
Miles
I think. Yeah, it's just a. I'm just showing off because I can tie shoes. Right.
Jared
It's like, I don't need to know all these nautical ties for my shoes.
Miles
Exactly. And you guys have seen me. I'm a notorious. I hate tying my shoes guy.
Tyler
Do you still just golf with your shoes untied?
Miles
I've never tied my golf shoes.
Tyler
I think that's crazy. How do they not fall off?
Miles
Golf is a. Golf is all mental. So if mentally I'm uptight with my shoes, I'm gonna be mentally uptight with my golf game. So if I'm loosey goosey down low up tops, I'm gonna be loosey goosey.
Jared
Yeah. Honestly, when your shoes are untied, how often do you actually trip?
Miles
Correct.
Jared
It never really happens.
Tyler
Well, even if your shoes are un. Velcroed, you're not gonna step on the Velcro.
Miles
Yeah, exactly. I just. I don't understand where we went wrong as a society that. That we just held laces to the highest standard.
Tyler
Right.
Jared
You just waste so much time tying your shoes. Shoes.
Ryan
Well, and now like. Like sports shoes, like baseball cleats, football shoes, they have. They have laces and then Velcro over.
Tyler
The top, cover up the laces. The wrestling shoes have that too.
Ryan
Correct.
Miles
Well, and the other thing, like, if you're a fat guy, like, I was 60 pounds heavier. Tying your shoes is the hardest thing you have to do during the day. It's like every time I would tie my shoes shoes and be like, well, I guess God does give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. And bend down, and all the blood would be in my face.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Back would hurt.
Ryan
Get up too.
Miles
Couldn't breathe.
Ryan
Y.
Miles
You get up. I'd have to. I'd have to. I'd have to take a break from sitting down, tying my shoes just so I could catch my breath.
Jared
Gotta go lay down.
Miles
I had to go lay down after I tie my shoes.
Ryan
I don't have. I don't know if I actually have a pair of shoes that I, I untie when I take them off. So like these shoes haven't been untied since I bought them.
Miles
Yeah, they don't have a tongue too, which helps. It's kind of just. That helps kind of sock.
Ryan
But even like, like my Travis Matthew ones, I, I don't untie those.
Tyler
Yeah. Just boots for me, I guess.
Ryan
You just boots.
Tyler
My golf shoes. I tie it on. Tie everything.
Ryan
Okay, there we go.
Tyler
Y. That's. I mean my tennis shoes. Absolutely not.
Miles
I just, I'm now to the age where I'm like, I don't want to ruin my pair of shoes by stepping into them. Them, you know.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, stomp.
Ryan
I get it.
Miles
I did that as a kid. My mom would get pissed at me cuz I ruin all my shoes by doing that.
Ryan
I think even like light, light up shoes should be acceptable.
Tyler
My kids are very into light up shoes.
Ryan
No, like even at our age.
Jared
I.
Tyler
Don'T, I don't think, I don't know.
Miles
If I'm fully on board with that.
Jared
I mean, what if you're in a movie theater.
Tyler
While you're watching movies or what?
Miles
Now the question is, is why don't they do light up running shoes for people who like running at night instead of wearing all the reflective.
Ryan
That's a good point actually.
Miles
Like those are the, those are the people who should have light no shoes is people who are running because they.
Tyler
Make like shirt clips for them that.
Miles
Are like a light or just don't run at night. How about, how about what are you trying to prove?
Jared
It's so dangerous.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I just, I think that we, we really missed it. It's just, it was like inventing is like inventing the space rocket and being like, nah, it's not very cool to go to space. Let's not go to the moon. Instead let's. Let's go to Chicago, hang out there.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
When they invented the plane. Like I'm good with driving.
Miles
I'll just, I'll ride my horse across the sea.
Jared
You know, it's like what Devil's advocate though. Velcro can wear out quicker than I think laces and Velcro that doesn't work is pretty frustrating.
Tyler
But you could make it to where you could replace the Velcro shops. Like.
Miles
But just think if we would have focused on Velcro, we would have invented Velcro that doesn't wear out.
Jared
Gotcha yeah, we have. We have a leveled up velcro.
Miles
We have it.
Tyler
There's no need. We don't use it except on backpacks.
Miles
Yeah. And hunting gear for some reason. Why are we using velcro on hunting?
Tyler
So loud.
Miles
So loud.
Tyler
Sika. No Velcro.
Miles
It would be nice if they invented soundless Velcro. Then it.
Tyler
There's a. There's a really good video.
Miles
Something that like. And then the Velcro, like. Like you have a way to secure it. It's not. It doesn't. It's just. Is silent. You have a way to secure it that you actually can like pull it even tighter.
Tyler
So there's a. There's a really good video of a military guy. Oh, I missed the bit. I missed it hard. I was. I missed it so hard.
Ryan
I started to figure out what. What direction he was going with.
Tyler
With that. I just really wanted to tell I.
Miles
Was going to hammer it home again. And then you just take. You just. All you have is take two fingers. You just. Just you take one and you just pull and it all comes undone and you can take your shoe off.
Tyler
I feel stupid. I never miss those bits.
Ryan
You know those. Those ice armor jackets we have for ice fishing?
Tyler
Uhhuh.
Ryan
The magnets on those elite. Those are awesome.
Miles
Yeah, I've seen some strong magnets. Why aren't we magneting our shoes tight?
Tyler
Yeah, magnets are better than the snap buttons. Imagine basket like ripoff pants with magnets instead.
Ryan
Cuz. Cuz Velcro, it's like. It's a. Why can't you just put a magnet at the end of the strap app and then like that is metal floors.
Jared
Then.
Miles
Yeah. Good luck at tsa. I suppose you do take shoes off. Shoes off.
Ryan
Unless you got pre checks. Pre check like me or clear like me?
Miles
You got clear.
Ryan
No, I got pre.
Miles
I was gonna say that's a waste of time. You're flying out of the Fargo airport. You're using that maybe once every decade.
Ryan
No, I. I got.
Jared
You tell everybody about it once you use it.
Miles
Yeah. You heard about that new thing? Clear. Ryan, what do you think? What do you wish was socially acceptable besides light up shoes?
Ryan
Flicking people off? Because like, flicking people off is. Is. It's the non verbal way of yelling the F word. It also calling someone the F word.
Miles
The way you flip someone off matters. Right? So if Tyler says something to me, say something to me that I probably won't like.
Tyler
Learn to tie your shoes, Miles.
Miles
Is way different than go ahead, learn to.
Tyler
Tie your shoes, Miles. That's true.
Miles
It's way different.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
The one's socially acceptable. The other one's not.
Ryan
And also, like, if you flick someone off and you can't see your. The middle knuckle of the other fingers, like, if it's like this, like, that to me, is not a manly way to. You got to see those middle knuckles.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
I don't know.
Jared
It's hard to do.
Tyler
That's how floppy.
Miles
That's how flops would flick you off. You go. I guess.
Tyler
Just looks Italian.
Miles
Yeah. He literally just go, yeah. So he never extend his finger all the way.
Ryan
If you really want to shove it up somebody's ass, you. You put pinky and thumb up, too, at the same time.
Miles
In their ass?
Ryan
No, when you flick them off. But you're.
Miles
He said if you really want to shove it up someone's ass, you use the middle and. And ring.
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, I did say that. I did say that. Yeah.
Miles
Isn't that Dan Cook? Call that the super finger that his whole bit is like his logo. Was. Was that.
Ryan
I have no idea. I think it was Dan Cook.
Miles
20 minutes, Jared, what do you think should be socially acceptable telling people you.
Jared
Don'T want a small talk? I think should be his social 100.
Miles
Also, in the same vein, not having to explain yourself for saying no. Right, Agreed. Ask me if I want to do something.
Jared
Jiren, do you want to go ice skating later?
Miles
No. And, like.
Jared
That was top of mind.
Miles
And instead it would be like, wow, I don't know. I got it. It's like, if you now know where I stand, or you just say, like.
Ryan
Yeah, I think I might. Let me call my wife or let me ask my wife real quick. When? Later, like, when I get home so that you don't have to tell them no face to face. You can text them. Text them.
Miles
No.
Jared
Yeah, my wife's not feeling okay.
Tyler
There's a former employee of this company that asked me if I wanted to do something one weekend, and I just said, I don't really want to know. And it was the most liberating thing I've done.
Ryan
Great.
Tyler
For, like. Like, for, like, three seconds, I felt bad, and then after that, I felt so good.
Miles
I'm gonna start doing that on this pod. I'm gonna start telling you guys how I feel.
Tyler
So you've been lying this whole time?
Miles
You know, I'm gonna stop beating around the bush, and I'm just gonna start letting you guys have it.
Ryan
I have a hard time saying no, and I think that's why I always got so much Going on.
Tyler
You want to help me move next weekend?
Ryan
No, not really.
Tyler
How good did that feel?
Miles
I think it also, like with us, I feel like you're pretty good at saying no, but as soon as it's someone you don't know that well, I feel like you are really bad at it. Like, I. I feel like I'm a little bit the opposite. Like, if Tyler's like, you want to help me move? I'm gonna entertain it more.
Tyler
You're gonna pretend like you might say yes for a little bit and yeah, say no.
Miles
But if it's like someone I don't know, I'll be like. Like, I. No, I hardly know yet. First of all, you've never invited me your. To your house regular. Now you're inviting me over to help you move out of it.
Tyler
Can I just have the bill, please?
Ryan
Tyler, would you ever ask him to move? Help you move?
Tyler
No.
Ryan
Yeah, right.
Miles
I help you guys move in different ways. You borrowed my trailer.
Tyler
That's true.
Ryan
Yeah, that. That's very true. That's very true.
Tyler
Which. I'm pulling a classic Midwest right now. I have not given the trailer back back.
Miles
I wouldn't have known if you wouldn't have said anything.
Jared
No, I want it back, but now.
Miles
I. I really want it back.
Tyler
I'll bring it back tomorrow.
Miles
Oh, yeah. If you don't, what. What happens?
Tyler
You won't know. So.
Ryan
Well, he's got to dispose of all the. That was in the back if he doesn't.
Miles
Yeah. Take it to the dump.
Tyler
I already piled it up for you.
Ryan
Yeah, but it's in. It's in the warehouse, so it's. It's in a way.
Tyler
It was already in the warehouse way.
Miles
Of all the time.
Ryan
But it was. It was hidden, though. Now I. Now it's taken up many mental space of mine.
Miles
It's also just an eyesore, Tyler. It is. It's the only thing in that warehouse. It's an eyesore.
Tyler
It is.
Miles
Sticks out like a sore thumb. That trailer was actually an eyesore thumb.
Tyler
Dilapidated wood.
Ryan
I don't know what that means.
Tyler
It's like rotting.
Ryan
Yeah, what's your point?
Miles
I said it was an eyesore. What else do you want from me?
Ryan
So now we have. Now we have dilapidated wood that's visible in the warehouse. So you know it when I'm giving.
Miles
We had it in the trailer when.
Ryan
I'm doing my Tuesday Thursday tours for people coming in, checking things out. Now they have to look at that.
Miles
It's like a brewery tour. And you like who's doing that everyone's promised two beers and they come and look at the warehouse. Yeah.
Ryan
You know, I did every. Every Tuesday, Thursday at noon, I give tours.
Tyler
To who?
Jared
Yeah, I'm confused.
Ryan
Well, it's because you guys never come down there.
Tyler
We don't work down there.
Miles
He's bullshitting.
Tyler
Guys, I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan's buddies just like came over every Tuesday.
Ryan
Budd Chamber of Commerce can't say no.
Miles
If he had tours list, he had tours listed on ebay.
Ryan
Chamber of Commerce.
Miles
What are you guys doing? Oh, we paid tickets. You paid to do this?
Ryan
Yeah, they. Everyone gets 10 shots on the golf simulator and then I tell them where the pickle ball court is eventually going to go well.
Miles
Yeah, you have like a, like a foam core easel with a. Like, you know how they like always like when a bank's going up and they have like the picture of the rendering, what's going to be there? Just have one of those sitting there with our pickleball set up.
Ryan
It just says coming, coming soon.
Miles
Y just start doing that. Actually, you know, like, like in my house, there's like, I still. I've been there for how many years? There's like bare walls that we just never hung anything on it. I should just put like art coming soon on a piece of paper.
Tyler
You know what else super funny? Like on construction sites where they don't have that sign. We just make our own with a ridiculous business.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Or just start putting them.
Miles
Yeah. Just like Google a rendering of like this exot. Print it out where they like print blueprints out and put it up on a side. That would be a great.
Tyler
We should do that across the street because we know the guy that's building the building across the street.
Ryan
Put a rendering of like a big ass water park. You would get the town talking immediately.
Miles
Yeah. Or just like a strip club or something.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Get people like calling city hall.
Tyler
Coming soon, Alley Cats nightclub Coming Spelled different.
Ryan
Yeah, coming soon. You and your buddies at Alley Cats.
Miles
That would be a great prank, actually.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Especially like in a small community just putting an absurd business in there. Like, I feel like in like Minneapolis, like, people would just drive. They'd be like, oh, whatever. In a strip club here, whatever. But in a small town. And be like, my kids ride. Bike past that. We'll be right. Bike past the strip club. That would be a very, very funny prank. That's like a whole Tik Tok series. Someone should make their page right. Where they just change the sign on. What. What's going where?
Ryan
And you could probably get a print like that. I don't know.
Miles
What.
Ryan
What are those? Signs are usually like, like, what, three by eight or three by six?
Tyler
Probably like a couple hundred bucks for like a foam core one.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
Just tape it over the existing.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
And you just get someone to sponsor the sign. Like, they get their logo at the bottom corner, even if it's not.
Miles
Well, then you can double whammy and just, like, make up a construction name. That's super inappropriate. There you go. Pipe layers Piper later is incorporated fake phone number or a real phone number would also. Yeah.
Jared
And then play the voice bells like on Tick Tock or something.
Ryan
Yeah. New. A new dog park coming or. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Doggy daycare is called Pound Town.
Miles
All right, well, should we take a break?
Tyler
Oh.
Miles
All right, guys. Last week we re. We reacted to our wives Patreon episode. So if you're interested to see what we had to say about what our wives had to say, go check out Last week's Patreon. Patreon.com. you bet your radio. Check it out. We also got to start thinking about the next goal. Some of the stuff we can come up with with go to the lab. So it's good Episode. Go check it out on Patreon. Speaking of our wives, guys segue. The next segment is we love. Hey, we love you wives.
Tyler
We love you. Love dearly.
Miles
We love your wives. We love our wives for what they do for our family. They take care of our kids or our tree, in Jared's case.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Or fish.
Miles
Or your fish. Well, not anymore, but I guess she made me anyways. But there's just maybe some certain things that, you know, you talk about happy wife, happy life. Just some certain, certain things you may not want to tell your wife to ensure. Happy wife, happy life. So, Tyler, what is something that you think people should not tell their wife?
Tyler
One thing we should for sure not tell our wives is how long golf actually takes.
Miles
Yes.
Ryan
Is going on, right?
Tyler
I'm starting to think that you. You were not taking your ideas. You just say that.
Ryan
No, I. You not.
Miles
Anyways, 100.
Tyler
We can't let them know that it actually takes us.
Miles
Us.
Tyler
I don't even know if I want.
Ryan
To say it on can't.
Miles
Yeah. I think we need to up the ante, though. I think we need to start saying that. Like, they passed a new law in the USGA that all golf courses need to be 27 holes now.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. 27 holes. And there's been a pace of play crisis. So they've Spread te times out further.
Miles
Yeah. And it's like, it's like they won't even let me pay for 18 holes anymore, let alone nine.
Ryan
You can't pay for 20. You can't pay for anything but 27.
Tyler
Well, and every round of golf comes with a free burger and a beer. So I'm not gonna waste that. I have to go have that after my round.
Ryan
Yeah, it's part of the feet. Yeah.
Tyler
Why, why would I go home and waste money and eat supper there when I get this free burger?
Miles
It's like a free chili feed.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
What were you gonna say, Jared?
Jared
Then like we could put fake renderings like on your wise way to work. 27.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miles
Future home of the 27 hole loop.
Ryan
You're like.
Miles
And then we get to come up with some name like, like Willow Creek. Whispering Willow Creek.
Tyler
There's one Pine Tree, Lone Pine Golf Course.
Ryan
She's like, this lot is five acres big.
Tyler
There's somebody five acre links.
Miles
Yeah, well, like it's like nine holes is underground. That's maybe good. You know, it's like they couldn't get any more land so they just had to go vertical or, or down. Well, that's.
Tyler
Everyone knows the first nine is on the simulator.
Ryan
Also that, that, that piece of lands where the clubhouse is at. Then they bus you over to the actual course.
Tyler
That's why we have carts.
Ryan
Yeah, it's a bit of a drive.
Miles
She's like, wait, you take a bus to the course and just finds out you're just around a party bus. You won golfing.
Jared
Why is there glare on your shirt?
Miles
It's not a bad idea though.
Tyler
No.
Miles
Being like, yeah, they, they, they now just. You have to do 27. It's this crazy thing.
Ryan
Yeah, it's not bad at all.
Tyler
Otherwise it's like.
Miles
Cuz they're like clubs, you know you can't ever get a tea time. Well, I can every time. Tell your wife even if you can't get a tea time, you're still going out with the boys.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, we're still going. Let's go golfing.
Miles
People can't get tea times. So instead of like trying to make everyone play faster, let's make everyone play slower and just have less tea times. Then people will get disinterested. Yeah, not us.
Ryan
Oh God, no.
Miles
I don't know. The longer you just talk and explain stuff, I feel like my wife just tunes me out. So I feel like if I just had a long explanation about the 27 holes, she just would bop it and Then.
Ryan
And then eventually you just. You finish it off with. Yeah, anyway, it's the. And then it's. And then it's done. And it's done.
Tyler
You gotta at least make sense for the first half of it until she tunes you out and then you can just ramble.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
Filibuster your way through it.
Miles
Now this next one, I actually don't feel this way, but it's a cautionary tale.
Tyler
Get ahead of it because I. I.
Miles
Was thinking in my head, I was like, like, I actually don't feel this way. But either way, I'm kind of. This one anyways, so I'll just say it. You can't tell your wife that your mom's cooking is better than hers. Aha.
Ryan
Okay.
Tyler
I'm good.
Miles
Yeah, you're. You're money, dude. Because even now, if you. Because even now, Tyler, if you're like, oh, my mom used to make this dish and it was so good, she can't be pissed. Well, yeah, she's like, oh, that's so cute that you have that memory with your mom. You know, you're in a win, win.
Tyler
I. I can say I'm.
Miles
Lose, lose. Because now my mom's going to listen to this and be like, you don't think my cooking's better than ans.
Jared
You're so lucky, Tyler.
Miles
Yeah, you are. So. You are. I envy you.
Tyler
Because I could. I could say grandma, but she knows grandma's better at cooking.
Miles
That's good to. Yeah, yeah. But you just. I don't know. I just think about Everybody Loves Raymond. That show was. The whole premise was pretty much. Much the wife versus the mother in law and it just don't want to mix it up. You know, if you want your wife to improve cooking, that's not the way to do it. It's go on a podcast and tell everyone how dry the chicken is.
Tyler
Hey, it did improve.
Ryan
Also. I'm. I'm dis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miles
If you want to improve your white.
Tyler
School, you can start a podcast at.
Miles
This point and do it passive aggressively. Don't say it to her face piece.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
I'm disappointed that no one brought up the dried chicken on Patreon.
Miles
I know.
Tyler
Or did they?
Ryan
And you just didn't put that question in. I didn't put the question, but did somebody you.
Jared
Yeah, it was asked from patrons.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
It wouldn't have got a reaction because she knew about it.
Miles
What we could do is we could do like a once a month segment where one of our wives comes on the podcast and we Ask him a few questions. And then first one up is Tyler's wife. We gotta ask her about the chicken. We could call it the wife hot seat seat. Something like that.
Ryan
The hot wife seat. Well, that'll be my wife's episode.
Miles
Oh, my God. My wife's gorgeous. She's not hot. I'm not a scumbag.
Ryan
No, it'd be a great. It'd be a great.
Miles
My wife's gorgeous. And wife material. It's not some college sorority chick, okay? Jesus, Ryan, you pig.
Ryan
The cooking thing would be a good. It'd be a good opener on, like, a dating app. Like Tinder or whatever. Whatever. Be like. Just know that ten years down the road, my mom's cooking will still be better than yours.
Miles
Yeah, that's good. Get out in front of it.
Ryan
You're already.
Miles
It's like you're that worried. It's like you just list them off, you know? It's like everything we're about to say, just put in your. Your Tinder profile off the bat.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Like, you're never gonna cook better than my mom. Golfing takes six hours, and it's 27 holes. And then whatever Ryan's gonna say. Right. What's the next one?
Tyler
He was going to say every one that we said.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
So he.
Miles
Jared, what do you got?
Jared
Can't tell your wife about past relationships. Nor do you want to.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tyler
I mean, you can tell them, but just don't.
Miles
It has to come up. It has to come up naturally in the sense of, like, maybe you see them. Them.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
You know what I mean? If you see an ex girlfriend in the wild, it's okay to be like, hey, that's my ex girlfriend. But to be, like, bringing her up.
Jared
Oh, that's terrible.
Miles
That's just strange. It's weird.
Tyler
Your.
Ryan
Your wife has, like. Like, eucalyptus in the diffuser or something. You're like, jenny used to have eucalyptus in the diffuser. She's like, who the. She's like, well, that's my ex girlfriend.
Tyler
Right. You don't have this problem. You never dated anyone else?
Ryan
I mean, like, an ex girlfriend for me would have been. Been like, eighth or ninth grade. So.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Then Tinder profile. I don't have any ex girlfriends. If that's a red flag, so be it.
Tyler
Yeah, Subi, it makes my flag red. I don't want to be.
Miles
I don't have any ex and girlfriends. And if you asked me, I wouldn't. I would say no. It's in the profile.
Jared
Third line, dog.
Miles
So, yeah, I mean, that Was, it's like that would be the, the immediate like turnout, like red flag for me. If they're like. Or like if they were talking about their ex's family, that'd be weird. You know what I mean? Or that happens sometimes. Like we've had, I feel like we've had bellied up callers saying like, you know, we broke up, but I'm still really good friends with her dad. And you're like, how is that going to go when you're dating someone else?
Tyler
I can see it. I could see it with like a brother. Brother.
Miles
Can I still go?
Ryan
Yeah, with your dad.
Miles
Throwback. Beers on that can am. Anyways, a little preview.
Tyler
Sorry. Circle back quick. So who's a better cook, Anne or your mom?
Miles
They each have their strengths and weaknesses.
Tyler
That's such a good answer.
Miles
Each of their strengths. And now they're starting to share recipes which now it's like if I can get them to just only share recipes and they kind of just their, their style melds together, then it's like I don't even have to pick sides anymore, you know?
Ryan
Yeah, but the thing about sharing recipes too is like, like your mom sends Anna recipe. Like Anne's gotta follow it to a T exactly how your mom did in order for it tastes the same.
Miles
Well, no, they don't do that. They say they followed it to a T, but then they like improved on it. And then everyone's like, God, this is really good. And the mother in law, why is everyone better than mine? What she didn't do, she didn't do the recipe I gave her.
Jared
Skip this step. Too much butter in.
Ryan
I would say. Okay. And I again, I don't really know if I believe this, but I'll say, I'll say within reason. Like your kid. When your kids want to tell you something, but they preface it with don't tell mom. I don't feel like I'm gonna tell mom.
Miles
Oh yeah, you can't tell. You can't narc on your kids.
Ryan
Your wife.
Tyler
Like, unless the kids, like, again, within reason. Drugs.
Ryan
Yes, within reason.
Tyler
Dad, I hit somebody on the way to school and drove away. Yeah, like, don't tell mom. Like, I got to tell her.
Miles
That's, it's. I mean, that's a hit and run.
Tyler
Yeah, I got it. I'm going to have to.
Miles
Your Uncle Ryan may do that a lot, but that's three to five.
Ryan
I haven't hit and run anybody.
Miles
I mean, light poles, you've only told us about one light pole. We don't Know how many else are out there?
Ryan
No. I told Jared about when I sc. When I. When I rubbed his back end.
Miles
How many fender benders you getting into?
Tyler
Well, you can't just say you rubbed Jared's back end like that either.
Miles
I didn't catch that. Ryan. First you're really shoving it up people's ass. Now you're rubbing it.
Ryan
I'm all about the rear ends, baby.
Miles
Now, I'm just. I mean, I'm just going to assume anytime he's driving his wife's car. Car. That he hit a light bulb. And he's just saying, like, oh, no, she needed the truck for something.
Ryan
Dude, you backed into the basketball hoop in the warehouse.
Tyler
Yeah, but we have a basketball hoop.
Ryan
The little, like, toddler hot shot thing.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
You hit that?
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Thank you, Tyler.
Miles
Now, in my defense, I was trying to get around your stupid table tennis.
Ryan
On my defense, I was distracted by the. The burning vehicle in front of me.
Miles
Yeah. That is a very good excuse, even though you couldn't see it from that spot.
Ryan
See all the lights, though?
Miles
See the smok. Suppose I thought it was. And where there's smoke, there's fire.
Tyler
There's Ryan's college buddies.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Anyway, I feel like that's how you build trust with your kids, is they tell you secrets. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miles
When. Someday when she's like, I don't get it. Why. Why is our kid. Why is you think you're the. The why is you're the favorite parent?
Tyler
Like, can't tell you.
Miles
Tell you, but because of all the stuff I didn't tell you. You are a gossip queen, Cheddarbox, airing.
Tyler
Out his business to everyone. He'd be posting it on Facebook.
Miles
Yeah, yeah. In today's age. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
Is there is.
Miles
Little Timmy has been wetting the beds since forever. He's now 12. And I just. Does anyone have any tips?
Tyler
Let me walk you through little Timmy's potty training journey.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had truffle aiming because it kind of curves at the end. You're like, Jesus Christ. It's way too much information.
Jared
A lot of angry teenagers coming up.
Miles
Just like his dad. Yeah. Then the dad gets roughed under. And then I found out that his dad actually had the same issue.
Tyler
One time, I was sharing recipes with his mom, and I found out her. His dad had the same issue as.
Jared
A kid written in the recipe book.
Ryan
Do you think there's anything, like, if your buddy tells you something, is there anything that your buddy would tell you that you probably you wouldn't want to tell your wife.
Tyler
So here's the thing. There's nothing that he tells me, usually, that I wouldn't, like, wouldn't want to tell her. I'm just not telling her.
Miles
Not because. Not on purpose.
Tyler
Yeah, not on purpose. I'm just not telling her. I don't know.
Ryan
Right. Yeah. Okay.
Miles
Yeah, that is very true.
Tyler
Because, like, my. My best friend and his girlfriend moved in together. Together. And Becca, like, four or five weeks after I knew, like, did you know? So and so is moving in with so and so. I'm like, yeah, why didn't you tell me?
Ryan
It's classic. Why didn't you, like. Yeah. And I. And if I would have never asked.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
I always get in trouble when I.
Miles
Tell, you do that enough times, and your wife's just like, okay, so has anyone moved in with each other? Is anyone having a baby? Who got divorced?
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You know, then, you know, you're like, yeah, sorry. But then you go. Then you go, well, I never asked. I never asked them. Oh, that's actually a great tip.
Ryan
I always get in trouble when. I always get in trouble when I, like, say something out loud that somebody told me to. Somebody else. But my wife's standing next to me. She's like. Like, why don't you tell me? I have to hear you telling this person. Person. So when I. And that's when I can find out. That's when I always get in trouble.
Tyler
Is it, like, up stuff? Give me an example. I don't. I'm confused. Is it, like, stuff that. About that person that you should have told her or, like, about your lives that you've never told her?
Ryan
It's like, nothing that really. Like, nothing I really needed nothing that's pressing that I need to tell her.
Miles
You know, we got a new golf simulator at the office or something. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. But the fact that I'm telling somebody else before I told her.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
Yeah, she's jealous. Peanut Butter and Jeff jealous.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Clicking now.
Ryan
Yeah. And it's just.
Miles
I'm gonna start withholding information from her just to make her jealous. It's a healthy relationship, right?
Tyler
Keep scared. Make her jealous.
Miles
Yep. That's all it's all about. Buddy pickup. That was actually.
Ryan
Hit a light pole.
Miles
That was.
Ryan
Why did you tell me that? Well, you didn't see it on the side of my truck. I just. You didn't ask.
Miles
You know, that is when early on when Anne and I were dating or, like, we had moved in together and stuff, and one day she just bought a New car without telling me. And I was kind of like, I feel like that's. I mean, I guess it doesn't matter. I wasn't gonna say we couldn't. It's like you out of enough money, you know, you do it. I just feel like we're.
Ryan
I don't know.
Miles
All the books tell us we're supposed to discuss this stuff. Books I didn't read. I guess I know.
Tyler
I'm with you.
Miles
Then again, I also just decided we were going to build a house and didn't really tell her.
Tyler
So kind of even you were married then yet, though.
Miles
That's true, yeah.
Jared
Just felt weird.
Miles
So. Yeah. I got one more question for you guys for this episode. Firing them at you.
Tyler
All right.
Miles
I don't know. You know, you get a lot of hypothetical questions. It's like, if you could do anything in the world, what would you do? Cool. Cool question.
Jared
Who's voices flops?
Miles
No, it was like a combination of voice and rubber man's voice kind of combined. Great question. Right? Let's spice it up a little bit.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
If you could do anything in the world that's. And I'm. I'm. We're actually going to take anything illegal out of here, so. Murders and crimes and all of those things, you can't be doing that. You could do anything in the world. World. For 10 minutes only, what would you do?
Ryan
I think I. I think I would make. I'd make an appearance in the World Series. On the mound.
Tyler
That's sick. One. Actually, that was. That's a really good answer.
Ryan
10 minutes could be. It could be three outs. 10 minutes, could be 10 pitches.
Miles
So what I would do to. To prevent myself from giving up too many home runs, I'd walk someone immediately with which, you know, you get four. Four what? What's the pitch clock at now?
Ryan
I don't even know how many seconds in between. 30. Yeah, 20 or 30.
Miles
So I've used up a minute 20 on one walk, right. And I'm using the whole play clock, and then I'm just picking that one guy off at first the whole time.
Tyler
That's not.
Miles
That's not a bad idea. 10 minutes is up. You got to pitch in the World Series. But you didn't give up the a, you know, winning run or anything.
Ryan
But imagine if you picked him off. I mean, he's like, better.
Miles
There's no way he could try to pick me off 12 times in a row.
Ryan
Yeah, okay. He's thrown over 11. I'm gonna steal on the 12th. Oh, you just Got me?
Tyler
Well, or you, you're gonna eventually in those 12, pickoff, you're gonna have a bad throw, he's gonna steal second. Then you just keep trying to pick him off.
Miles
Then you just, then you just walk the next guy. And then now you have two options to pick off.
Tyler
Where's he gonna go?
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
Just walk the bases loaded and just start throwing the ball around.
Ryan
One, any change in hitter is pro. That's probably a minute, A minute pitch clock.
Miles
Yeah. You could buy enough time to not screw the game up but still get to pitch in the World Series.
Tyler
Also, can the you pitcher still like look at a ball, be like, I don't want this one?
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Do, do, do a bunch of these and then be like, I don't like that one.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Pick up the powder bag. What is it?
Ryan
Rosin bag.
Miles
Rosin bag. Toss that around a little.
Jared
Do a manager visit.
Miles
Manager visit?
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Call for my own manager. Very. No, I'll call the catch. I can call a catcher out.
Miles
Yeah, call the catcher out. Then go to second base. Adjust your nut cup like Eddie Gordado.
Ryan
Yeah, he did that.
Miles
I swear to God.
Ryan
I can't find it.
Miles
I gotta find that. I guess I know what I'm doing tonight. I think I said that last time we talked about it.
Ryan
I would lather up in pine tar. I'd lather my fingertips up in pine.
Tyler
Just throw ridiculous junk.
Ryan
Oh God. Me going from like their ear hole down to their ankles.
Miles
So what I would do if I had 10 minutes, I, I'm just going to not count it as illegal. I, I, I get a pass.
Tyler
So you came up with the rules. So.
Miles
And then I started thinking about mine. So 10 minutes is, I obviously would like more time, but I, I couldn't think of anything else else that I'd want to do. What I would like for 10 minutes is to get access to all of the United States government's most top secret files.
Tyler
You want the book? You want the book?
Miles
You want the book?
Ryan
Yeah, let's download. It's downloadable. Yeah, yeah, you can download it.
Miles
Take mental pictures the whole time. 10 minutes to rifle through a thing that has. You'll find out about JFK, you find out about all sorts of Area 51, Area 51, alien, you know, what really went on with Watergate. But the one that probably most interested about is the truth behind the Boston Molasses disaster. Would love to know if it was an inside job or not. A lot of insurance money getting thrown around in that town. Just saying sticky situation that wouldn't that be fascinating.
Tyler
Very. That would be, that is a good one.
Miles
And they like, they made a whole movie about bought it.
Ryan
Yeah. But it's like, like, and then all.
Miles
I'd have to do is just know where to go start digging for the buried treasure.
Ryan
But it's written like a children's book. So you can write, you can rifle through each like different event. Like, super. It's like, go, dogs, go. There's like four words per page.
Miles
Yeah. It's just a picture of JFK with his head. Cartoon form. It's not too graphic. And it just says LBJ did it. And then next page.
Ryan
Yeah. Okay. Now we have CL clarity.
Tyler
Yeah. It's got a rhyme though.
Miles
Yeah. That would be crazy if the, the book was a children's book that rhymed. Roth's children book would be easier to remember all the facts.
Tyler
It would be. I think for me, you guys can decide if this counts or not. But I want to go to space and not space. Like stray hand. Upper atmosphere.
Miles
Well, yeah.
Ryan
I mean, cool at miles. Watch that that live.
Miles
It was pretty cool. Even though it was just upper atmosphere.
Tyler
Yeah. But I want to go to real.
Miles
Dog on my guy Strahan.
Tyler
I mean, he didn't go to space. He went to the upper ABs.
Miles
I also don't remember if I dogged on him for not actually going to space. Yeah.
Ryan
He wasn't up at 6am to watch Strahan go in an upper atmosphere.
Tyler
Right.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
So I want to go to real space. Just 10 minutes of being able to look down.
Miles
That is actually, that's about all the time I'd want to spend in space.
Tyler
Yeah. Then you start to panic and realize. Yeah.
Miles
You start thinking about how the value vacuum of space is just right. There you are thing keeping me from it is like this little tin foil. I don't know. You watch the movies. Why are we putting so much tin foil on spaceships? Kapal13 the budget for tinfoil on that movie had to have been in the millions.
Tyler
Well, you're even in the like you're a, a six inch plane of glass away from you're freezing and exploding.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Good way to go out.
Miles
That would be 10 minutes in space is what I'd like to spend in space.
Tyler
Yeah. I don't know. Because you did say in the world. I don't know.
Miles
That is true technicality.
Tyler
Yeah. So I, I, I'll let you guys decide.
Miles
We'll allow it.
Tyler
Okay.
Ryan
Well, my college buddies claimed that they had been to space multiple times, upper atmosphere or no, like a Different universe. I think I never knew what they meant.
Miles
Sometimes my wife wears space pants because her ass is out of this world.
Ryan
Oh, Tyler, you laughed before you even knew the joke.
Tyler
Cuz I knew the joke.
Ryan
Oh, you did? Okay, okay, wait. So you're agreeing with him?
Tyler
I just laughed at the joke.
Jared
What, I can't laugh?
Miles
No, wait, you're agreeing that you look at my wife's ass.
Tyler
I know I'm looking at her pants.
Miles
Technicality. Can't argue with that. It's on the outside.
Jared
Ironclad. Jared, what about you Just be on top of Mount Everest for 10. 10 minutes.
Tyler
Nice.
Jared
Just say, I've been on top of the money.
Ryan
Would you fly in or would you?
Jared
I don't know.
Ryan
I think it's just like teleporting.
Jared
I think picture in a teleport.
Tyler
Yeah. This is a genie situation.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
So I'll put on a jacket, some boots.
Miles
I don't want. I'd like to do the travel to wherever the book is. I'd like to know where it is. So I'm sure I'm opting out of genie teleportation.
Jared
I'm up to.
Tyler
That's fair.
Ryan
What do you. What do you mean by that? Travel to wherever the book is?
Miles
Yeah, I said that mine was. I'd like to look at the book of secrets that the US government has. Has. I'd like for them to like take me to it. I imagine it's in some underground bunker.
Tyler
But I imagine if you did finagle this, they're going to put the black bag over your head.
Miles
But also pretty cool.
Jared
It's going be in a random ass.
Miles
I love to appear as if I've been kidnapped.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
I haven't done that.
Ryan
Well, you're not there to see the bunker where the book is at. You're there to see the book.
Miles
What if we.
Ryan
How you get there?
Miles
What if we. They took the thing on my head and I was just in Tyler's bunker. He was here the whole time.
Tyler
I just spin. I just spin around in a big leather chair like, here we are.
Miles
I would be pissed.
Jared
Or just like in a Barnes and Noble. In like DEO or something.
Tyler
It's just on a bookshelf. They put it in like Natural History. No one wants to read that.
Miles
Yeah. Or like the recipe book section.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Like, who's going to Barnes and Noble and looking at recipe books? Business ethics question for you. Ten minutes is a long time on top of Mount Everest.
Jared
Right.
Miles
1. What are you gonna do?
Jared
Try to survive.
Tyler
You're not gonna Enjoy the view.
Ryan
Well, I think you can.
Jared
Well, I think the oxygen level.
Miles
Well, they give you a tank. You got a tank.
Jared
Okay.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Perus take the sights in. Hopefully it's not a blizzard that.
Ryan
Well, no, you probably. Hopefully there's no clouds because you would just see clouds, but it's more.
Tyler
No, you're above them. So you could see the clouds below you.
Ryan
Well, that's what I'm saying is you would only see clouds.
Tyler
You see the.
Miles
On a clear day.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Because I imagine like you're like up there like so crazy. This is crazy.
Ryan
Well, 20 seconds.
Miles
Yeah, I seen it.
Jared
Forgot my phone.
Miles
You know, because. Because really, Jared, I think you're going to find this in empty room road because there are no roads. Well, what they say is that it's not about the destination, it's not about getting to the peak. It's all about the climb. And you just skipped out on the best part.
Tyler
It's us. Not about how fast you get there either.
Miles
It's not. And he's getting there as fast as possible. So I think you're actually going to be pretty unfulfilled with this one. So if you want to choose another one, you can.
Tyler
Well, and also like when you're up there, you're trying to see the view. It's not really about what's on the other side. Side.
Miles
Yeah, that's true.
Ryan
What song are you guys quoting? Miley Cyrus.
Tyler
What are you talking about?
Miles
What are you talking about? There's always gonna be another mountain.
Jared
Mount Everest is marketed better though than.
Tyler
For sure.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Is it Kilimanjaro?
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Nine is the one that's taller.
Miles
No one's like, what's your Kilimanjaro? Right. Exactly. No, what's your case, K2? It's like, what's your avarice?
Ryan
Yeah, K9.
Tyler
What's dog.
Ryan
What's your. Yeah.
Jared
Named about after a dog.
Tyler
K2 is a weed.
Ryan
K2 is like an incense. I think that people. People used to smoke.
Miles
Your college buddies.
Ryan
These were high school buddies I shouldn't have been hanging out with.
Miles
Oh, so your college buddies you should have been hanging out with.
Jared
Prequel.
Ryan
Well, the one was.
Miles
I.
Ryan
It wasn't. I. I was with my high school buddies and then like one of their buddies came with and he. I mean he was. Was just a total degen and he had to stop at mellow moods and grab some K2. I think we're going to basketball game or something.
Tyler
It sounds like the common denominator with all these groups of friends is you.
Ryan
Maybe I just gravitate towards it.
Miles
Wait, time out. Are we degenerate?
Tyler
Are we? Yeah, he has his high school buddies, his college buddies, know his work buddies.
Miles
He goes to hang out with his college buddies. He's like, yeah, my work buddies.
Ryan
I don't know. I just, I like to hang around. These guys just seem to be funny. High school buddies, college buddies are all funny.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, that's like some of the funniest people in the world are on the construction site. Doesn't mean they're not a complete degenerate.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You got some fun facts for us, Jared?
Jared
I do. The cold. I got a hot and cold fact.
Miles
Hey. All right.
Jared
The coldest temperature ever recorded occurred in Antarctica, minus 128 degrees Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit in 2018.
Tyler
What was the wind?
Miles
I gotta know what the wind chill was. Gotta foresee those questions.
Ryan
Jared, Jared, that's.
Miles
I mean, now it feels like you're doing a bit. Like you're not foreseeing questions on purpose almost.
Ryan
Jared, that's when you say that's. That was with the wind chill.
Miles
Well, no, because I feel like it's been negative 28 here before.
Ryan
Negative, negative 128.
Miles
Oh, a little colder. Oh, my God.
Ryan
Crazy, man.
Tyler
So I'm saying it wouldn't be so.
Miles
Bad, though, if it weren't for the win.
Tyler
I'm thinking is like negative 200 with the wind chill.
Ryan
Yeah. At least.
Jared
Or if I can do a quick. That's research.
Tyler
I just slap on a Sitka. You'll be fine.
Miles
Yeah, hot hands. Like, can you even, like, build a shelter and, like, with it insulated and heated, like, would a heater be able to keep up with it being 128 degrees outside?
Tyler
I think you, you'd have to have a completely protected room.
Ryan
Maybe a sauna, a fauna fire.
Tyler
Yeah, I think it would have. It couldn't be electrical. That would freeze up.
Miles
Yeah, you'd have to have a fire going.
Tyler
Yeah, a fire. Or maybe gas. Maybe gas would be fine. I don't know.
Jared
Yeah, like natural gas.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
The hottest temperature ever recorded occurred Death valley. Occurred in Furnace Creek. Death valley.
Tyler
You got the death stare, Ryan.
Miles
You just went through the death valley.
Ryan
I mean, I, I, I, I foresaw what you were. What fact you were going to put out there.
Jared
Fact you had, too.
Ryan
No, but I knew that. I knew the hottest temp was death.
Miles
I'm the fact guy. You're not the fact guy. This is my thing.
Tyler
This, this stat is wrong, by the way, because it's now the second hottest temperature ever recorded. The hottest is the tension between you two. Right?
Miles
That is true.
Ryan
I have no attention right now at all.
Tyler
Jared's gonna cut slash your brake line.
Jared
Yeah. Stay away from my back end.
Miles
Jared, before Ryan rudely interrupts. Erupted. What? It was the actual final number.
Jared
134 degrees Fahrenheit on July 10, 1913. Back when they were wool.
Ryan
Jesus.
Miles
I wasn't gonna ask the question of what they wear.
Jared
Okay.
Tyler
Did they have AC yet?
Miles
1913?
Tyler
Not unlikely.
Ryan
You know that, though. Or. Or you may be lying.
Miles
Yeah. So, I mean, you just have to. It's like when, you know it's a evac situation, right? Like hurricanes coming. You evac. If it's going to be that hot and you don't have ac, you got to just get out of there or shade.
Ryan
All right, Jer, you're in the clear. A.C. invented July 17, 1902.
Jared
That be funny. Was the day after.
Miles
Yeah, it's like. Nothing's more motivating than people dying of heat stroke.
Jared
That's all I got.
Miles
All right, Jared. Well, thank you for your facts. Your facts, not Ryan's.
Tyler
Sorry, did. When did you say the heat wave was?
Jared
1913.
Tyler
Okay. AC was invented in 1902.
Miles
That's what he said.
Tyler
Sorry. I was. I was focused on googling it and not listening to you talk. I was reading about it.
Miles
We were doing so good, guys. The ac, now we're just limping up to the.
Tyler
The first AC was basically a box of ice.
Miles
Right now we're like those marathon runners that do the crab walk and their muscles shut down and they can't get across the finish line. Their dips are bleeding like Andy Bernard. Running a 5k right now. All right, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of the you Bet your radio podcast. May you get made fun of on the job site. And may your Everest be Everest.
Jared
Oh, yeah.
Miles
I got it.
Jared
I got it.

Oh, you betcha. Yeah. Yeah.

Jared
Okay, here's the next one. I think it's a longer one, so I can pause it whenever. What is the laziest thing you've witnessed your husband doing?
Unknown
When I first met Miles, he lived in a condition mondo. And this is when he first started his YouTube or his you betcha videos. And he made a. A beer chicken crock pot recipe.
Miles
But then she butched it. It was called crack chicken. Okay. Beer crack chicken.
Ryan
So regardless, it was still. It was still made in a crock pot.
Miles
You want to know the recipe? Actually, my. So when I. When I was a train trainer, people's trainer, one of my old gals named Bev gave me a recipe and it was literally a stick of butter chicken in a crock pot. And beer. One can of beer.
Ryan
Huh?
Tyler
There was no cheese.
Miles
I think you could add it later, but yeah, that was it.
Ryan
No wonder she was going to personal training.
Miles
Yeah, stick brother. Anyways, continue on.
Unknown
You didn't clean it out afterwards and then he put it in, but then it like sat on the counter for like a week or so and then he like didn't want to clean it out.
Miles
Oh, pause it. It was, it was a way longer than a week. Like it may have sat there for a year on the counter, maybe six. It was a Long time. Because I know what she's about to say, and you don't get that type of damage in one week.
Ryan
No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't.
Miles
You continue on.
Unknown
And then it sat in the garage for months.
Miles
Did you guys live garage? Yeah.
Unknown
No, we didn't. Okay. Like, we weren't at the point where, like, I was going to, like, do anything with it. I, like, I didn't feel comfortable. Like, he lived with other people and, like, so I wasn't going to, like, clean or do any of that kind of stuff. And also, like, clean up after yourself. Right.
Miles
So, like, he. Sorry. I was building. Busy building a company so you can live in a nice house and take care of our kid while I grind all day. Sorry I didn't clean up after myself. Sorry.
Ryan
I like how you were talking to her on.
Miles
Oh, yeah. Hope she listens to this.
Unknown
Sat in the garage for months. I'm not kidding you.
Ryan
Okay.
Unknown
And then when they experiment and then when they moved out. I'm not kidding you. There was like. Did he just throw it away? Maggots or Mo. Is maggots a thing? I don't. They were like worms, like baby flies.
Miles
Lara.
Unknown
So then they took, like. That place was so bad, they, like, took stuff to the dump. They just put it into the thing to go to the dump.
Tyler
Nasty.
Ryan
Dude.
Miles
Dude, dude. When we moved out of that apartment, the fridge smelled so bad that me and my brother had to take T shirts and wrap them around our face tight, acting as a mask, so. So that we could clean out the fridge for the next.
Tyler
So were you using the fridge, though?
Miles
Well, yeah, it was. It was kind of one of those situations where you had to know where everything was in the fridge before you open. You opened it because once you. You open it, grab it, and then close it really fast because it smelled so. Oh, my God.
Jared
Little bit of baking soda. You're good.
Miles
And yeah, dude, it was disgusting. I. I don't think I'd ever seen maggots like that before in my life.
Tyler
So it was maggots. It wasn't just mold.
Miles
It was maggots for sure. Yeah. I could have started a worm store called I Got Worms.
Tyler
You should have. Wax worms.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
Could.
Ryan
Brought them on in the eye Ice.
Miles
Yeah, that. That crock pot just went right in the garbage.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Anyone saving that?
Miles
Still saving that. Once you got maggots.
Unknown
So do avoid the dishes. Yeah, yeah. Seriously, you can't just, like, clean out a simple. Was the recipe good? I've got one for Ryan and that hopefully this one doesn't get me in trouble. But in college, he lived in this really shitty little house. And they had so many guys crammed in this house that Ryan's room was like, this unfinished basement. Did not have egress. It was definitely, like, not a legal bedroom. It was just like a concrete cinder block room. So if there's a fire, he'd be dead. Oh, 100%. And that house would have caught on fire and burned fast.
Tyler
Like, it was so old burning like his buddies.
Unknown
But it was just this, like, little different house room and then the utility room, whatever. And so obviously there wasn't any. Like, there wasn't a bathroom down there or whatever. So in the middle of the night, if he got up and you're going out a lot in college, so you wake up, you gotta pee. He would just, like, go in the utility room and peed on the drain.
Miles
That is smart. I don't know what, but, like, why does that deserve so many giggles?
Unknown
That's just nice. So, like, that was, like, not the slightest concern, right? There was a bigger concern than peeing. Utility drain. Oh, my God.
Jared
During the Civil War. It's super old. Yeah.
Unknown
Oh, God.
Miles
It's actually kind of confusing when you talk on the video, I think talking right now.
Jared
Sorry.
Tyler
No, no, I'm gonna say.
Miles
Wait, was that a recording or did you just say that right now?
Tyler
It's definitely lazy, but I don't blame you one bit.
Ryan
I wasn't gonna walk upstairs.
Miles
That's not lazy in my mind. That's just being smart.
Ryan
If you guys would have saw this basement, like, okay, so like, my room was separated with, I don't know, just a makeshift door, a wall. And like, I don't know, it was like. It was like that paneling behind Tyler's. Behind Tyler's head?
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
I was like, the walls open, the door, laundry room, straight concrete. I mean, there's a floor drain right there.
Miles
Would you. At least.
Ryan
I'm just going to piss in that.
Miles
Would you at least, like, run some water down the drain once in a while or.
Ryan
Yeah, I like, maybe once a week. I just like. Like spray a bottle of water down there or something. But, you know, water. I don't know what. Maybe it was. It was. There was like a pipe draining from something down there. So there's always water tripling. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miles
We had one of those drains in my house growing up.
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, if I had.
Miles
That's really smart. I should have done that as a kid. So I run upstairs.
Ryan
I mean, to me.
Miles
We didn't have a bathroom in the basement. I should have just been pissing in there.
Jared
Time you can't get back.
Miles
Yeah, imagine where I'd be.
Tyler
You might.
Miles
If I had that extra time.
Tyler
You might have time to clean that crock pot.
Miles
I could have.
Jared
I could have.
Miles
Maybe. I just imagine though, if my mom walked downstairs and saw me pissing in the dream. Oh, my God. Armageddon.
Ryan
Yeah.

You Betcha Radio Podcast Summary
Episode: "Things That Will Get You Teased On The Jobsite 🎙️ #305"
Release Date: December 18, 2024
In this engaging episode of You Betcha Radio, hosts Miles, Ryan, Tyler, and Jared delve into the humorous and oftentimes relatable dynamics of workplace teasing on construction job sites. With their signature Midwest charm, they explore various scenarios that lead to playful ribbing among coworkers, share personal anecdotes, and offer insights into fostering a positive work environment despite the teasing.
Miles kicks off the discussion by highlighting how incorrectly naming tools can make someone an easy target for teasing. An amusing instance arises when a new worker mistakenly calls "chairs" (metal supports used in footings) "stairs."
Miles [02:46]: "Well, not number one. These are in no particular order, but something that will get you bullet on the job site, especially our job site, is not knowing the correct name for something."
The hosts agree that such mistakes are often poked fun at until they become the accepted norm, creating an inside joke within the crew.
Tyler points out that making healthy life choices, such as dieting or exercising, can attract teasing.
Tyler [04:06]: "Making any healthy life choices will immediately get you roasted on the job site. Like, oh, hey, you've been running, you loser."
Similarly, Ryan shares his experiences of being teased for watching his diet or opting out of office treats like donuts.
Introducing new gear, especially footwear, is another common source of teasing. The hosts recount how wearing brand-new boots or other equipment instantly marks someone as the "new guy."
Tyler [06:06]: "I think new boots are the most bullied new item. You gotta scuff those bad boys up before the first day."
They emphasize the importance of integrating quickly into the team to avoid prolonged teasing.
Being overly nice or safety-conscious doesn't shield one from teasing either. Miles shares a story about a coworker nicknamed "OSHA" for his strict adherence to safety protocols, leading to playful ribbing.
Miles [14:40]: "We nicknamed a guy OSHA because one time I was cutting rebar without any glasses on, and he came over and offered me his glasses."
Asking questions or seeking assistance is another trait that can lead to teasing. Tyler narrates his first-week experience where his query about equipment was met with ridicule.
Tyler [11:22]: "I was like, he couldn't live down a shit face. He got now annoying, he was."
The consensus is that seeking help should be minimized to avoid being singled out, although this can hinder learning and teamwork.
The hosts humorously discuss various personal habits they'd like to be socially acceptable, such as nose picking and "snot rockets."
Miles [32:48]: "I also think like, like we have toilets, right. So you just stand there and pissing them. Why don't we just have like a bucket that you snot rocket into?"
A significant portion of this segment revolves around the desire for Velcro shoes, which they argue are more practical and time-efficient than traditional laced shoes.
Miles [33:27]: "I think it should be so more socially acceptable to wear Velcro shoes. Like hell yeah, a Velcro shoe does the same thing as a laces shoe."
Tyler adds his experience of wearing Velcro shoes in high school as a joke, only to find them surprisingly effective.
The hosts brainstorm creative and humorous ideas, such as installing light-up shoes or soundless Velcro, to make certain actions more acceptable or less disruptive on the job site.
Tyler [39:35]: "Imagine basket like ripoff pants with magnets instead."
Their playful suggestions highlight the camaraderie and inventive spirit within the team.
While the hosts frequently promote the Prize Picks app, this segment focuses on their weekly sports betting picks. They share their lineups with notable players and discuss their strategies, adding a competitive edge to the episode.
Ryan [19:16]: "I have Kirk Cousins, more than 233.5 passing yards."
Miles [19:57]: "This week for prize picks, I got Josh Allen, 247 1/2 pass yards more than."
They encourage listeners to join in with promotional codes, blending entertainment with audience engagement.
In a heartfelt yet humorous segment, the hosts discuss aspects of their relationships, specifically focusing on things one should avoid saying to their spouses to maintain harmony.
Comparing a spouse's abilities, such as cooking, to those of a family member or past relationships is discouraged.
Miles [55:03]: "You can't tell your wife that your mom's cooking is better than hers. Aha."
Tyler [55:05]: "I can say I'm good."
They stress the importance of tact and appreciation within relationships to prevent unnecessary conflicts.
The conversation shifts to the delicate balance of sharing information and maintaining trust without overstepping boundaries.
Ryan [57:05]: "What do you guys think should be socially acceptable besides light up shoes?"
They explore the nuances of transparency, emphasizing that withholding certain information can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or jealousy.
This segment features amusing stories from the wives of the hosts, highlighting the lazier side of their husbands. From neglected chores to unconventional bathroom habits, the tales offer a comical glimpse into everyday laziness.
Miles [86:48]: "I was building. Busy building a company so you can live in a nice house and take care of our kid while I grind all day. Sorry I didn't clean up after myself."
Ryan [88:11]: "In college, he lived in this really shitty little house... he would just pee in the utility room."
These stories are shared with laughter and understanding, showcasing the lighthearted nature of the hosts' relationships.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts promote their Patreon for exclusive content and encourage listeners to engage with their growing community.
Miles [90:28]: "If you want more, you bet your radio. You gotta check out our Patreon."
They bid farewell with their characteristic humor, leaving listeners anticipating future episodes filled with more Midwest-inspired tales and laughs.
Miles [02:46]: "Something that will get you bullet on the job site, especially our job site, is not knowing the correct name for something."
Tyler [04:06]: "Making any healthy life choices will immediately get you roasted on the job site."
Miles [14:40]: "We nicknamed a guy OSHA because one time I was cutting rebar without any glasses on, and he came over and offered me his glasses."

Miles [55:03]: "You can't tell your wife that your mom's cooking is better than hers."
Miles [86:48]: "Sorry I didn't clean up after myself."
