Miles
Welcome back to another episode of the you betcha radio podcast. The coldest podcast in all the Midwest. I'm Miles the event guy. You're with Ryan the T shirt guy. And we are live. We are live. We're ready to rock and roll, folks. The voting is now closed for the PCAs.
Ryan
Yes.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
Got my vote in.
Miles
It depends on when you're listening to this. Yeah, it might bleed into Wednesday because we might not shut it down till then just because we're not going to be up at midnight.
Ryan
There's like a three minute slot where even if we scheduled for it to shut down at midnight, you could, you could have listened to this. We put this up Tuesday night at 11:57.
Miles
There we go. So voting is now closed. Not much. You can do quite a few. Quite a few votes.
Ryan
Do you know the number?
Miles
I can pull it up.
Jared
As of right now, I think it's north of 500.
Miles
Oh, it's more than that. Probably get close to a thousand.
Ryan
That's it. That's why voting is so important. And I.
Jared
Your vote matters.
Ryan
I'm honestly, I'm proud of our patrons for exercising their civil right to vote.
Tyler
I mean, they run the show.
Miles
As we're recording this with still a couple days left, 1063 patrons have submitted their vote.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Hell yeah. So but there's still quite a few of you who haven't voted. So this, I guess this doesn't matter at this point.
Ryan
Voter tape either way. Voter turnout all time high.
Miles
That has got to be an all time high for you Bet. Yeah.
Tyler
Some people probably had to be registered too. They get registered.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So thank you to everyone who did vote. PCAs are coming this weekend or this Friday. So you got it.
Ryan
You got a PCA right next to you.
Miles
Oh, yeah, this is the trophy. Still smells like paint. What do you mean?
Ryan
That's gold?
Miles
I mean it's solid gold.
Tyler
I like gold.
Miles
What I like about this is the switch actually works on the microphone. So it is. It says 2014 Roseville Girls Holiday Classic champion on it.
Tyler
Big round of applause, 2014 Roseville Girls.
Ryan
And don't shake it too much.
Miles
Well, no, it's earthquake proof. You know how they make buildings?
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
That move so they don't crumble. That's what this is. This, this, this trophy is so well built that it could withstand a earthquake.
Ryan
Hell yeah.
Miles
Here in Fargo, North Dakota and still be kicking. So kudos to Tyler for being the goldsmith that you are.
Ryan
Thank you.
Miles
So, yeah, someone's gonna be. Many people are going to be getting this do we have a name for the trophy?
Ryan
I think we call it the Mikey.
Miles
We could call it a Mikey.
Ryan
The Mikey goes to.
Miles
It's kind of dumb. We'll workshop it. We're. So.
Ryan
You got a better idea, Ryan?
Tyler
I don't know, but we. We didn't really think it over.
Miles
It.
Tyler
We gave him two seconds of.
Ryan
Yeah, it is a microphone. The Mikey.
Miles
He didn't like your knee jerk reaction. He didn't like your knee.
Tyler
We didn't think it through enough.
Ryan
Okay. I would. At the end of the podcast, we'll circle back, you tell me what you came up with.
Tyler
Wait, I. I'm focused on other things. I'm focused on segments today. I'm focused on giving the people, you know, giving them a. Show them a good time.
Jared
Yeah, you're a great ty.
Miles
All I will have to say is Tyler was the man in the arena. Ryan. And you were just throwing stones, sitting from the peanut gallery, throwing peanuts from your ivory tower. Ivory tower on your soap box. Over.
Tyler
That's true. With my gold spoon.
Miles
Yeah. So by the end of the episode, we expect some fire from you. Get in the arena.
Tyler
What year?
Miles
Yeah, we'll come up with a good name. Mikey is on the table.
Ryan
Okay.
Tyler
Yeah, no, it's a. It's an option.
Ryan
We. What is. What is the. The plaque say the Holiday classic. Yeah, I can't come with any good on that. The Holly. That's lame.
Tyler
Yeah. I think we can do better than just adding Y.
Ryan
There's no E. Just a Y.
Miles
How about an awardee?
Jared
A trophy?
Miles
A trophy.
Ryan
Nobody batted a fucking eye when Michael Scott called him the Dundees.
Miles
Great name.
Tyler
Yeah, great name. Never seen it, but I assume. Assume it's good.
Ryan
Yeah, that's a great name. So I just did the same thing, but.
Miles
But we do only have one of these, so it's maybe kind of like a Vince Lombardi situation.
Tyler
Lombardi. All right.
Miles
It's Stanley cup situation.
Ryan
Everybody gets Lombardi. Ends with an E. We can't use that.
Tyler
Lombard.
Miles
He was going to say everyone gets their own. And I said not. I was going to say not the Vikings. Anyway. One day it's more like the Stanley Cup. You're right.
Jared
So I think we should make a trophy for everybody for participating.
Ryan
I think that would be the right move. Can we add a category for coldest?
Miles
I am gonna get out in front of this, and I'm gonna say we are a non participation trophy podcast. I don't know how you were raised, Jared, but I think it's a good.
Tyler
We don't even have ribbons out for participation.
Jared
What do you want everybody to feel bad? So I think.
Miles
So, guys, if you'd like to listen to the first ever PCAs, you got to go to patreon.com you bet you radio sign up, you have access to the episode this Friday coming out.
Jared
We can call the participation trophies. Parties.
Miles
Yeah, the parties. You want a Mikey or a party?
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, participations.
Miles
So, yeah, we're workshopping it. Yeah, we got time. We got like a day, day and a half. I also do my best work under a tight timeline. Anyways, if I would have thought of before, then, it wouldn't have been as good.
Jared
Pressure makes diamonds.
Miles
Yeah. So, all right, so I was thinking about this next segment. The next segment is what have you done a full 180 on? And I made a sudden realization about life.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
I feel like once you hit around 30 years old, there's a bunch of stuff that you take a 1:80 on and then you don't change how you view the world until you die forever.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
For the rest of time, that if you're wondering how your parents got to be who they are, how the boomers got so set in their ways around 30 years old, they made a shift from being the young, hip people and having hot takes to make it, taking the more conservative route. And then they just went forever.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
And I think we've reached that point.
Ryan
What. What age is it? Isn't it like 27 when our brains fully mature?
Miles
So if you ask my mom, it's when I was first, it was 25, and then I got to be 25. And she's like, Ah, I think it's actually 27. And I got to be 27. She's like 30s. When you get your adult brain.
Tyler
Yeah, I think it depends on how much pot you smoke too.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. So I really need to check in with her and see if she still thought it was 32 or not.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
Yeah. Or. Sorry, it was 30 or 30.
Jared
32.
Miles
Yeah. So, yeah, I. I just think that's the way the world works. You kind of. You're young and dumb and you have all of these goals and aspirations, and then you turn 30 and you're like, maybe I should take a different approach. Then you do a 180 on certain things, and then you just never change that until you die.
Ryan
So whatever you guys are up to right now, better get used to it.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. Either that or if you're 25, just let you know when you hit 30, you're done. You're done.
Ryan
You better. You got five years to get into some cool.
Miles
It's like Joe Rogan says, the pull out polarity of the earth will flip every so often. It's kind of what we do once we turn 30. Magnetic field flips somehow or it's out of my mouth. And something that. Something that I've done a 180 on is reading books.
Ryan
Nice.
Miles
Oh, Tyler saw it in real time.
Ryan
I did. I did. That was a really fun four months when we were reading the same books.
Miles
And I still think people who read books consistently are nerds. Like, I'll put that out there. It's just that I've become somewhat of a nerd in that sense. It got to the point where again, you're 30. You're kind of like, what the fuck am I doing here on this Earth? Kind of a. I like to call it a third life crisis. I imagine I'll live to be 90. You know, let's just assume that. Not a quarter life crisis. That's for sure. I'm gonna live to be 120. Some quick math for you too.
Tyler
Sure.
Miles
The one you're like, what am I doing right? I get home from work and I'm just gonna either watch a Netflix show until I go to bed or scroll on my phone or whatever. And I was like, I feel like there's got to be something else I can do other than doom scroll or just watch Peaky Blinders for the sixth time.
Tyler
God, wasn't that great though.
Miles
It was good.
Tyler
Yeah. It just allows you to just decompress.
Miles
So now I've got a balance. I have choices now. I can read a book, I can watch a show, I can doom scroll on my phone. Now I got options. Whereas before I didn't have that in my arsenal. So kind of done 180 on that. Hate me if you want. For back. I didn't backpedal.
Tyler
I didn't want around. Yeah, it's way different because you used.
Miles
Yeah, it's. I, I didn't backpedal. I spun around and now I'm walking backwards. It's way different than backpedaling.
Tyler
Were you a. Were you a book guy? Like post college, like right out of college?
Miles
I'd say in college I read some books. And then I was like, why could I read books when I could just watch TV shows? Which I am right about that.
Ryan
You know, what's the difference is you can't get in the head of the character when you watch a TV show.
Miles
That's true. Plus, you know, it actually Makes me like get tired too if I go to bed at a good time. Because again, I'm 30 years old and I. 30, almost 32 years old, trying to go to bed before midnight.
Tyler
Yeah, my buddies just used to smoke a bunch of pot before bed.
Miles
Yep.
Tyler
Yeah, they didn't really read much. Yeah.
Ryan
Anyway, I don't know, when I took.
Miles
The papers out they were just like reading the, the writing on the wall.
Tyler
Yeah. The only papers they were flipping were the. What do they call them, Jared? What are the rolling papers called?
Jared
I wouldn't know.
Miles
Oh yeah.
Tyler
Yeah, that's raw.
Ryan
Stoned is the time where all reading material is good. You're like, oh no, there's coconut oil in my shampoo.
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, have you guys ever read the back of like a, like a seasoning, like a seasoning bott. Like read the back of a Lowry's bottle or something? Like they got some good going on.
Miles
Paprika and garlic powder.
Ryan
Wow.
Miles
It's like what we all used to do before we had phones when we were sitting on the toilet. You just read the back of the shampoo.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
The amount of like outdoor magazines I used to read when I was taking.
Ryan
A shot, we had a, a foot high stack of outdoor magazines on the, on the Tank of the Toilet growing up.
Miles
Tank of the Toilet. Great band name.
Tyler
Yeah, it is. You know what I wish they would.
Miles
Do a great band name good for trough rock.
Tyler
You know what I wish they would do on the back of seasoning bottles though is, is like put a list of things that this can replace. So like if you don't have one thing then this can replace that.
Miles
Take Tank of the toilet. Let's flush all the bad vibes. Could be like a jam funk band of some sort. You know, Just flush all the bad vibes.
Ryan
Happy music.
Miles
Sorry Ryan, I had to get.
Tyler
No, that's okay.
Miles
I forgot.
Tyler
Yeah, I do it all the time.
Miles
So if there's any potential bands out there looking for a name that's in the funk jam funk category. Like if OIR was more of a funk style band. Try a Tank of the toilet.
Tyler
You know what they should do? They should start pressing. People should start writing books that they can press on a toilet paper so that you like the amount of TP that you. That you're going to use. Like you can read like.
Miles
Oh my God, no, no, no. Toilet paper comics.
Ryan
Yeah, that'd be a good one. Each square is a panel.
Miles
Is a panel in a comic.
Tyler
I like that because then you can.
Miles
Sell because that's a pretty good idea.
Tyler
Because then you can sell the, like a toilet paper roll with that because you don't want to. You don't want your wife or your kid using the same role as you because then you're. You're lost in the book. They just read chapters two to five.
Miles
Saying that's why this is better. Because, you know, you know, on average, what, use at least 15 squares when you're going after it.
Tyler
Oh, it depends on the day. It depends what I ate. I mean, Jared, like pre marathon, you know, Chinese. That's probably a 16, 17 square.
Ryan
I don't know. Sometimes I.
Jared
Laughing.
Ryan
I got a clean break. I'm one and two and I'm out of the door.
Miles
It's been. I've had it. It's been a long time.
Tyler
Me too. Yeah, me too. Like a lot.
Miles
That's a. That's a good idea. Put the funnies on the toilet paper.
Ryan
Yeah. What is it? Calvin and Hobbes.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Dennis the Menace.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Garfield.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
I mean, they can press the Charmin Bear and on there, why can't they?
Ryan
Yeah, true.
Jared
Make comics out of the Charman Bear.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
You just get a comic you hate and you use that for the nasty.
Miles
There we go. I'll just start my own toilet paper brand. There we go. That's it. Sell them online. Ryan, you ready to sling some tp?
Tyler
What do you think we should call it? Toy Toilies?
Jared
The toilet babies.
Ryan
It's not an award.
Jared
The opposite.
Tyler
Because you think about the graphic designer that's making the. Making the designs on the actual squares. Like, they got to be sick of their job by now. It's just a little bit of turn it this way, turn it that way, and you got the new brand Charmin, you know?
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Not a bad.
Tyler
Great idea. Bleep that out.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, I'll bleep that whole thing so no one steals our idea.
Ryan
Oh, no, someone's already working on it.
Tyler
Someone's had that going for 15 years.
Miles
I think it would be kind of sick to be like the first content creator that has his own toilet paper. Do you know what I mean?
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
And. And like, if I were to do it, I. I wouldn't make it cheap, by the way. It would be high quality, expensive. Because I've said this is something I haven't done a 180 on is you should always spend a lot of money on toilet paper because that's something that you need, is a luxury.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I mean, it should be cheap out on everything else.
Tyler
Should be at Least quadruple ply. Like, I. Like I could. The we used to have in the bathrooms up here. I could blow a hole through it. Like, I just go. And there would be a hole in it.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
It's like, what's my. You know. My finger. My finger. I never intended for my finger to go up my butt, but there was times it did, because the amount of.
Miles
Times he brings that up. You talk about shoving your finger in your.
Jared
What's a quarter?
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Once a quarter on this podcast.
Tyler
Can you name the other?
Miles
This has got to be the third quarter in a row he's talked about that.
Ryan
You. You have brought it up.
Miles
It's. It's astonishing amount.
Ryan
And it's always with your finger busting through the toilet paper.
Tyler
Well, that's why we need quad ply.
Miles
Also, we need to make sure, one, he's washing his hands. Two, don't shake his hand. What do you wipe with your right hand? I'm meant to shake your left hand.
Tyler
I'm a lefty when it comes to wiping, though.
Miles
Oh, really?
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
That's strange.
Ryan
Yeah. What an odd, ambidextrous thing.
Tyler
I'm kidding.
Miles
Okay.
Ryan
Got me.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Because then, I mean, every. I feel like every construction worker has a roll of TP in their truck if they gotta go. Yeah. We're gonna have to believe this out here. It's actually a decent idea.
Miles
It could be a great market to get into. No one's innovated in that. The most thing they've innovated on is the little, like, squiggly.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Rip off. Now that Charman's doing.
Tyler
Yeah. They think they have a monopoly. Until now.
Jared
Right. Yeah.
Miles
We're about to go after the TP industry plus any, like, marketing campaigns. Just, like, you just do a. A video of just TPing one of your guys's houses.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
You know, laughing.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
And then instead of getting angry, it's like, ah, this week's edition.
Miles
That's funny.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
It's like throwing the newspaper on someone's front step every morning.
Ryan
And it's like, hey, are they doing that anymore?
Tyler
I don't know.
Miles
I would definitely have a full team of comedy writers just to get. Keep the material fresh for people, though, you know? I mean, that'd be the worst. You know, three months in a row reading the same jokes.
Ryan
What's the. The Marvel movie industry is. Is killing the comic industry, so maybe they need to. They need a rebrand here.
Miles
Well, yeah, we could do funnies. We also could do, like, superhero comic books.
Jared
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
You could do a collab with Disney.
Tyler
Yeah. But you could. You could revive Captain Underpants.
Jared
Hey, yeah, good idea.
Miles
Your favorite font is Comic Sans.
Jared
Yep.
Miles
We call them comic squares. Oh. You know what I'm saying?
Jared
I like that. All in Comic Sans.
Miles
Fine. Yeah. Oh yeah. Strictly Comic Sans.
Jared
The best fun.
Miles
So I just want to. That would be kind of cool if we had our own toilet paper brand. You betcha. Ultra less is more.
Tyler
Good enough for who it's for.
Miles
I mean if my legacy is that less Ass Ass bleeds. That's my legacy. I can die comfortably with that.
Ryan
Miles.
Miles
Seriously, I'll die comfortably. I won't have a raw. The best TP around.
Ryan
Single handedly eliminates external hemorrhoids.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Better watch out. Big hemorrhoid.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Coming for your ass.
Tyler
Literally.
Ryan
Prepare yourself. Age.
Jared
So many jokes.
Miles
Do you think we would sell any toilet paper? Like, do you think our. Do you think people like this would actually buy our toilet paper?
Ryan
Oh, the people listening would buy it just because we did it.
Miles
I don't know.
Jared
I think we could sell 500 rolls that guys doable.
Tyler
I think especially, you know people. People are all into like the, like the screen detox. Like so leave your phone, leave your phone out in the bathroom.
Miles
There's a lot of advantages.
Ryan
There is. There is.
Miles
Throw that out there. So what have you done a 180 on Ryan.
Tyler
I mean mine is pretty, it's pretty out in the open now. What was that about a month and a half ago? I just got absolutely exposed on the 180 I did.
Jared
Which one?
Tyler
New Year's resolutions that are fitness related. I'm back on them.
Miles
Okay.
Tyler
Yeah, I think I was, I was not on them because I, I think it was more so just a personal thing. I was just sick of trying to make a resolution for myself and then not following through with it.
Miles
You're burnt out.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was burnt out and I, you know, I had a bad taste in my mouth for that and this.
Miles
And bad taste was actually mud because you did so many tough mudders. That's true.
Tyler
That's true. I drank too many. Too many free beers after that.
Miles
Yeah, the, the death, the death of a healthy lifestyle is after you're like six tough mudder. You're like, what the am I doing?
Tyler
Yeah, Powerlifting. You know, I, I think it was ever since I got done with that powerlifting event and then I went to that wedding and got shot down.
Jared
Oh yeah.
Ryan
You're just sitting in the stairwell like them never doing.
Tyler
Yeah, because I feel like, if I wouldn't have went to that event, I would have got to the wedding earlier and then I would have got a spot butterfly effect. That's why I showed up late, is because I was, you know, I was getting second out of two people in my division.
Ryan
You gotta stop telling people how many telling people how many people were in the division. Just say you got second.
Tyler
See, I'm not. I'm not ashamed of it, though. That's my first. It was my first event ever. You know, I was in.
Ryan
Yeah, you got second.
Miles
That's badass. You came in last.
Tyler
I was in. You know, I. It was.
Miles
It was.
Tyler
It was in the home that Miles's buddy Connor built. Oh, my God, is that his high school?
Miles
I can't wait for that. I can't wait for the PCAs.
Tyler
So, yeah, the 1 8. I'm back. You know, I. I've now done a 360. I was forum against them and now I'm for him again.
Miles
Yeah, you've done a 180 on your 180.
Tyler
Correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think that's okay. I think now. And I'm, you know, almost 32. I'm stuck. I. I'm stuck on.
Miles
You're. You're gonna have to do hard the rest of your life now.
Ryan
Damn.
Tyler
And that's okay. Hard's been good for me. You know, I might go for 100 days.
Jared
What?
Tyler
So it's going.
Miles
Yeah, I mean, I guess. Sorry. It was not hard. It was soft. Rest of your life. Are you gonna go hard at some point?
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
What day are you on?
Ryan
Here we go.
Tyler
Well, what's 31 plus 23?
Miles
Oh, God.
Tyler
54. I'm 54.
Miles
20 days left.
Ryan
Three weeks left.
Miles
Three weeks left. Finish strong. Third, fourth, third period. Third period.
Tyler
Fourth, second half.
Miles
Well, now it's third. Third period.
Jared
Clicker threes.
Ryan
What is that? Is that basketball?
Tyler
Basketball? Yeah.
Miles
No, third period is hockey.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
It's only have three periods and if you break. If you divide 75 by 25.
Ryan
Extra time, third trimester soccer, ICL.
Miles
So you may go into shootouts with hard. Soft 75.
Tyler
Yeah, I might go in and play. Yeah, I'm. Penalty kicks, shootouts, three on three.
Ryan
Overtime, three on three over time.
Miles
Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
Extra innings. Baseball guy on second one out. Both teams get a shot.
Miles
Nice. Yeah. You're fully fitness again.
Tyler
I am, yeah. I am. I'm into it. And I got. I got a new gym now too, so I'm like. I'm. I'm.
Miles
Well, you.
Tyler
Change of atmosphere.
Miles
You Got an old gym that's new.
Tyler
My old gym is in a new atmosphere, so a little rejuvenation.
Ryan
Same gym, new church. Same pew. New church, maybe.
Miles
Same church, different pew.
Ryan
No, different church, same pew.
Tyler
Same pew, different church, same pew. Yep.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
This can't be a bench. Wouldn't it?
Ryan
Yeah, sure, yeah.
Tyler
Squat rack. I got it all.
Miles
Different church, same bench press.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
So that's where I'm at in 2025. And now for the rest of my life.
Ryan
Nice.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
So, Tyler, I'm gonna drink again, though, if you guys are wondering.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Hell yeah. Go, motherfucker.
Ryan
Just throw up. Shocker.
Jared
It's the second time he's done.
Ryan
Speaking of shocker. No, I have done. I have done a full 180 on asses. I just think growing up, I was all. I was always say.
Tyler
I talk about sticking my finger on my ass. I think that's what Tyler just said.
Miles
We're going to need him to clarify.
Ryan
I've done full 180 on ass. I mean, growing up, until I was like 16, 17, I was all a boob guy. Acid or asses.
Tyler
Okay, okay.
Miles
Like a donkey.
Ryan
I was a full boob guy for the first half of my life, and I've done a full 180, and now I'm a full ass guy. I mean, I, I still. I respect both, but I am. I'm an ass man through and through.
Miles
What would lead a man to this full 180?
Ryan
I don't know.
Tyler
Is it seeing. Is it seeing the boobs actually put to work for what they're meant for?
Ryan
No, I. I switched before that.
Tyler
All right.
Ryan
But that's, That's a factor in keeping me there.
Miles
I think I was gonna say it's like. I think they're less perky is what you think you're saying. And so it's made you less perky.
Ryan
No. So the, the, the. The. The change started probably late high school and into. By the end of college, I was a full ass man.
Tyler
But you.
Miles
I didn't know. This is a. If this is a full 180, 10 years ago, Ryan would have said that he was out on fitness.
Ryan
I just. It's something. I've done a full 180.
Miles
I didn't know. I thought it was maybe more within the last year or so.
Ryan
There was no rules specified.
Miles
I know, I know. I just. That was confusing.
Tyler
So you. In 2025, are you gonna Google Pam Andy's butt?
Ryan
No, I think back backspace. I. I think I might have to just Google a different woman.
Miles
Oh, okay.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
180 on Pam Anderson in general, I.
Ryan
Might have to go Jennifer Lopez booty cheeks. I think if I could go back.
Tyler
Lopez leaked.
Ryan
If I, If I could go back in time and talk to 10 year old Tyler, that's what I would tell him. Be like, hey buddy, you're wasting your time on Pam Andy's boobies. Jlo, even she aged better too.
Tyler
What advice would you give to your younger self? That's it right there.
Ryan
That's right. I would tell him. I'm like, hey buddy, I know what you're about to Google. Head south. You're thinking too high right now.
Tyler
Head south and hit a quick 180.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So you turn at the boobs, you turn right back to the ass. Yeah, no, you, you quite literally took a 180 spin.
Ryan
Yeah, I did. On a body.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Ye. Yeah, actually.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Okay, so you're an ass man now.
Ryan
Yeah. Thrown through.
Miles
I would have thought you were boob guy through and through forever.
Ryan
No, started that way, I think.
Jared
You know a guy.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Gotta start over.
Tyler
Well, you know, thanks for being honest about that, dude. That's not easy for some people to talk about.
Miles
Yeah, that's true.
Tyler
Especially when you're married, you know, I.
Miles
Just want thanks for being vulnerable with us.
Ryan
You're welcome. It was really hard for, for me, especially considering the subject matter.
Tyler
Yeah, for sure.
Ryan
Jared. Got it. I want it to be known though, that I do, I do appreciate both.
Miles
So you're doing a 180.
Ryan
I appreciate asses significantly more.
Miles
Are you saying because it's harder to have a nice ass or is that way into it?
Ryan
Maybe, Maybe it's like a sign of, like. Because you could, you could work your ass into being a nice ass. You can't really work your boobs.
Miles
Are you looking for something?
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
You tight?
Tyler
Looking for them.
Miles
We looking for something tight or are we looking for some phat? Great question.
Ryan
To a point. I think that it, it can be too far.
Miles
So. But you, you're. You're. You're leaning more to the phat than you are a nice tight.
Ryan
Yeah. More than the tit.
Miles
No, like ti.
Ryan
I know what you're saying. I was. Yeah.
Miles
Okay.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
Okay. So you don't. Yeah. You don't need your gal to be doing hard 75 is what you're saying.
Ryan
I. I don't. I mean, I'm not gonna. I wouldn't. Wouldn't be mad at her just looking.
Miles
For junk in the trunk.
Ryan
As long as she did the diet. Like, I would make sure she has to do it hard. Otherwise I'd tease her.
Miles
All right. Baby got back for Tyler. It's his favorite song.
Ryan
Becky. Jared. What?
Miles
Have you done a full 180 on paper straws?
Jared
So I used to hate paper straws.
Ryan
Like, what?
Miles
I didn't know someone could do a 180 on this.
Tyler
Yeah, I thought you were gonna go the other way around.
Jared
Yeah, I used to hate them like, oh, these suck. Blah, blah, blah. Then I realized that they're fine. They are not that bad. I mean, they're not great. Not as good as a plastic straw.
Ryan
Okay. I feel like you've only done a 90 on this.
Miles
Yeah, that sound like a full one.
Ryan
Because if you hated them, a 180. Love them now.
Jared
Yeah, I guess I. But I understand why we have them for the environment and stuff.
Ryan
So you don't like turtles that much?
Miles
Yeah, so I just feel like if we're gonna get do that, we gotta just get rid of all the plastic then, or. What's the point?
Ryan
Why did we single out straws? I don't know if we're trying to save the turtles with straws. Just do the metal straws. The. Or reusable.
Jared
Yeah. Bring your own straw. BYOs.
Miles
Or just like, just drink out of the cup.
Ryan
Right?
Jared
That's usually what I do anyway.
Ryan
You see, just take the paper straw, bend it over with your finger.
Jared
Yeah. Throw it on the ground.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Pick that up.
Ryan
Electrician.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
We think of the little mini. You know, like the little mini mixer straws. Like, sometimes they'll give me like four of those, you know?
Ryan
Right.
Tyler
Winsy Wadi. And I'm like, I don't need four of these. I actually don't eat any of them. It actually is just something to fiddle, dude.
Miles
From now on. Now I know you're a paper traga. I'm gonna order two regular straws at every restaurant I go to to cancel out your straw. Your paper straw.
Jared
Just prove a point.
Miles
I. I'm. I couldn't. I disagree with you.
Jared
That's fine.
Miles
But in terms of my quality of experience with a paper straw, it's like it's a ticking time bomb.
Jared
It's not that bad.
Miles
You gotta suck that baby down or it's gonna start getting gross in your mouth.
Ryan
Do you ever.
Tyler
You guys ever have that kid in school who would, like, eat paper? Yeah, he'd eat like.
Ryan
Yeah, he just diet it.
Tyler
I mean, that's.
Miles
Why. Did everyone know a kid growing up that ate paper?
Ryan
Why? It used to suck down Elmer's Glue too.
Tyler
Okay, well, that's yeah, that's another topic of conversation. But, yeah, I've been. I've always been so grossed out about people who eat notebook paper as, like. That's the same to me as a paper straw.
Ryan
I agree.
Tyler
I'll just go no straw at that point.
Miles
Yeah, I'd rather go no straw than paper straw.
Jared
That's usually what I do.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
Or bring your own straw.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
We could have. Make, like a. We can make, like, a phone case where you have, like, a foldable straw. You can fold it up into three and then pop it on the back of your case. You got it everywhere you go.
Jared
I'll bleep that out.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Because I got a magnetic case. You can magnetize it in the back.
Ryan
I think it's so gross because you're not gonna clean it immediately.
Tyler
I mean, throw the dishwasher.
Miles
We're in the idea phase. Okay. I don't need negativity in the idea phase.
Tyler
This whole episode.
Jared
Let's go one long. Believe it's a great.
Tyler
All right.
Miles
I made Save the Turtles.
Ryan
I just. I couldn't be more out on paper straws, and I don't think I'll ever make a degree change.
Miles
Now. They do have these ones that are, like, made out of, like, it feels like plastic, but it's biodegradable. I'm in on those ones.
Tyler
I've seen those.
Miles
Like, a tan color to them.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
Those, like, they. They act like a normal straw, but apparently they would, like, actually decompose.
Ryan
I don't know if I've ever used one of those.
Tyler
You probably have. You just didn't know it probably made.
Miles
Out of bamboo or some. Yeah, like, if you make something out of bamboo, you can instantly slap, like, a giant price tag on it. Like, they make. They make kids clothes that are weaved with bamboo, and it's like, oh, yeah, we're charging 15 extra bucks for this shirt.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Bamboo in it.
Ryan
What are the pandas going to eat?
Tyler
Yeah. We're getting bamboozled by the bamboo industry.
Miles
We are stupid. And it's like, at first, it's like, oh, that's cool. But now everything's got bamboo in it. So why are we paying more for stuff that's got bamboo in it?
Tyler
Yeah, it's a good question. Yeah. It's not really a novelty anymore because everything's got it.
Jared
Like, flooring has bamboo in it.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miles
Big bamboo is killing it. Big bamboo is bamboozling everyone bigly. Big bamboo is bamboo boozling bigly.
Ryan
That sounds like a Dr. Seuss book.
Miles
It does. Also, I, I read my kid at Dr. Seuss book the other day. Hard. Dude, I love Fox and Socks is a nightmare. It literally, it requires me to like lock 100 the in big time. You know, sometimes when you're reading your kids book, you like memorize it so you just kind of, you know, going through the motions a little bit. But if it's a Dr. Seuss book, I gotta lock the in.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. He was thinking of parents too. Those are brain games for us.
Tyler
Yeah. Hop on Pop.
Miles
That's a good luck. Alzheimer's. I'm gonna read Fox in Socks every day.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
See he keep Alzheimer's at bay. Fox and socks on box and talks. Rocks my socks off my box.
Ryan
That's it.
Tyler
That's the adult version. 18 and older. Yeah. I've been, we've been reading Go Dogs Go and put me in the Zoo. Those ones are easy reads.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
If you guys are looking for Go.
Ryan
Dogs Go is a. That's a. That's light doctor suit.
Tyler
Yeah. My, my kid can read that one on his own now. So that's brick.
Miles
My kid just likes turning the pages.
Ryan
Ten apples up on top. That's a good one.
Tyler
Yeah, that's a tough one too.
Ryan
I'm not gonna let them drop.
Tyler
That's a tough one.
Miles
It's also wild. My kid like can't even talk or do anything and he has preferences on which book he wants to look at. Flipped pages, we'll put them out in.
Ryan
Front of him and he like same one every time.
Jared
Anyways, another full 180 I've done is IPAs. I used to love IPAs and now I'm like.
Miles
Yeah, I like Shutter.
Jared
I like Shiver thinking about it.
Miles
What did you like about IPAs and what, what did you do in 180 on?
Jared
Well, I liked like the triple whatever IPA. Hoppy.
Miles
Just hop it up. Bitter, bitter, bitter.
Jared
Yeah. I used to like search out like four packs. But now when I taste, it's like a reverse acquired taste.
Miles
With IPAs, it's a decoyed taste.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
So unacquired.
Jared
Unacquired.
Miles
Yeah. It's a taste I never acquired.
Tyler
I drink.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
When I used to drink iPad, I feel like my seasonal allergies would kick in. I get so stuffed too Hopp. I couldn't even, I couldn't breathe out of my nose. I don't know what it was. It was the cascade hops they were using or something.
Jared
Could be.
Miles
Anytime I would have a drink of an ipa, I. I would do. I feel like I Do what they. The policeman on Dumb and Dumber when he drinks the piss. I don't know.
Jared
Stays on your tongue forever.
Tyler
Yeah, Yeah.
Miles
I could still. It's. I still feel on my tongue. It's been six years, you know, I.
Jared
Would brush my teeth since.
Miles
Yeah, feels like it. Yeah, it's like the Boston molasses disaster. Everything sticky for years to come.
Ryan
Too soon.
Miles
I have another thing. I returned Ryan's nail gun.
Tyler
Didn't even ask for it back.
Ryan
Hell yeah.
Tyler
Didn't even have to ask for it back.
Miles
And I borrowed that and I replaced the nails that I used.
Ryan
Wow. Yeah.
Tyler
I told him he didn't have to. Said, hey, don't you don't do that. He did.
Miles
So if you're wondering the quality of guy you're getting when you, when you borrow me a tool. That's it right there.
Jared
Nice.
Miles
I did it once and now I just can ride that forever.
Tyler
See now by, I think by doing that the first time now, like you're like, like unofficial part owner of that nail gun. Like whenever you need it again, you're going to be able to borrow it because, you know, like he brought it back, bought more nails and whatever and so like. Yeah, that's good.
Miles
Yeah. I invested in company that is the tool.
Tyler
Correct?
Miles
Yeah, I'm. I'm an angel investor in that tool.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah. Like, I'm not. I don't have a registered business, but I could be like a, you know, renting company. Renting. Renting it out or what?
Ryan
Ryan's rentals.
Jared
Yeah, it's great.
Miles
I feel like that's kind of a tool rule. I actually feel like when you borrow someone's tool, if you can offer some insight about the tool that you found out while you were using it to the original owner, that's like the interest you have on, on borrowing.
Tyler
That's a good point, actually.
Ryan
What, what did you give Ryan for his interest?
Miles
So what I realized was, is you really gotta push that thing in hard.
Tyler
You do, you do. Otherwise you dry fire or it's just gonna, you know, you're gonna take it off.
Miles
And the, I mean, you really got a hammer on that one.
Tyler
Quite literally. If you don't. Yeah. If you don't push hard enough, then you, it's pretty much just like a, like a, a hammer starter in the nail gun.
Miles
You got to be like.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. And you can, you can do like a three round burst, I think, or two round burst.
Miles
I wasn't ballsy enough to do that. I was doing, I was doing craft.
Tyler
Works yeah, you were doing singles.
Miles
I was doing singles all day actually.
Ryan
Rapid fire with that thing.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah. You did three round burst.
Miles
So is it. Or is it like every time you pr. You hit the thing, it goes.
Tyler
That's a good question.
Miles
I've never, I didn't try it.
Tyler
I've never gambled on the three rounder action. Yeah, I'll gamble tonight on it, See what happens.
Miles
Yeah. So, yeah, that's, that's. I mean you, I clearly already knew that, but yeah, that was what I noticed about the tool. Maybe that's what it is, even just some. You noticed about it. I also noticed that it doesn't chew up battery too bad. No, I, I got it from you and it was like 3/4 of battery on it. I think I only went maybe down to half and I used it for like 12 hours.
Ryan
Damn.
Miles
Well, not straight. But yeah, I was impressed. I was impressed by the battery on that thing.
Tyler
Yeah, I only, I only buy quality.
Miles
You know, So I feel like that's a tool rule. You can borrow something as long as when you return it, you offer your thoughts on the tool.
Tyler
Any insight on, on like, what's the, like the firing range? Like how far can you shoot that thing in in open air?
Miles
I didn't try open air.
Tyler
Okay. I haven't either.
Ryan
So can you. Don't you have to, like.
Miles
I think you pulled it.
Tyler
Yeah, you'd pull it back and then.
Ryan
I'm too much of a wimp to be holding that.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Firing.
Miles
Yeah, so. So I feel like that's tool rule number one. I think tool rule number two is if you borrow a tool from your dad, you don't have to give it back.
Ryan
It's your tool. I, I also put that.
Miles
It's like the one guy that you just don't have to worry about returning it. Yeah, well, I still have a, A, like a, a drill with a concrete mixing end on it that like you were to mix up cement in a five gallon bucket sitting in my garage. It's not even my dad's companies.
Ryan
My, my grandpa came over this weekend to help me fix my garage door. And he's taking a tour of the new garage and he walks over to the palm center. He's like, this is really nice. Like, yeah, I like it. I've been palm sanding quite a bit lately. And he's like, yeah, I really like it. I was like, what? Thank you. You're being weird about this palm center. He's like, it's mine. I've had it for so long. I Forgot that I borrowed it from him.
Miles
Yeah, that's always the worst. Like it might truck. I had a level and a tape measure and something and like a, like a bit box. My dad's like, are these mine? Oh yeah. Well, the reason why they're in my truck is I was gonna give them back to you.
Ryan
Yeah, I brought him to your house. I just keep forgetting them to take them out of the truck.
Miles
But that leads another rule, Tyler. How long can you borrow a tool until it's just yours?
Ryan
Family members, I think a month if they don't ask about it for a month. But like I don't know, I think.
Tyler
That'S like next day here.
Miles
I was gonna say two years.
Ryan
Family members.
Miles
Well, just in general because it's like your dad and then it's just everyone else. But like if I were to have had that nail gun for two years for sure. But even, but like a year isn't long enough.
Tyler
Well if you, even if you would have had it for six months, I probably wouldn't had to use it.
Miles
Yeah, because if you somewhat. If someone's going to really use it, they use it once every two years. Yeah, but you don't use a tool every single year necessarily.
Ryan
So Ryan just returned to me a, a big pole saw, an extendable pole saw that you've had for what, three years you said.
Tyler
I think it was like four.
Ryan
Yeah. So Ryan's had it for three fall of 2020. I think I forgot it existed a month after I gave it to you.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
I honestly don't even know why I had it. I think I was maybe gonna trim some trees.
Ryan
I think you. Yeah. You're gonna trim your neighbor's tree that's hanging in your yard or some.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. And then I think I went and bought out a, I went and bought an electric chainsaw. That's probably one of my worst electric purchases, the chainsaw. Pretty weak.
Miles
Okay. Wow.
Tyler
Sorry. I, I just wanted to backtrack to the whole family. So the, the nail gun that you borrowed. It's, that's actually not my nail gun. That's my dad's nail gun.
Ryan
It's yours. It's yours.
Tyler
I, I, so I bought it for him for his birthday like three years ago. And I bought it for his birthday because I knew I, I needed to use it. Coming. I had Shiplap to put up. So my wife's not gonna be like, why do you need a, you know, 3, 400, that's electric nail down. I'm like, I bought it for my dad. He's been needing one. One.
Miles
If, you know, if you want a tool for yourself, just buy it for your dad for his birthday. Because if your dad owns it, you own it.
Ryan
I used to do that with also, like I'd buy my dad a movie for Christmas of a movie that I just wanted to own.
Tyler
Well, it's like your wife said she's not gonna like, yes, you spent 3, 400 bucks on your dad's birthday gift. But also like, you know, now it's like, honey, my, look at everything my dad's given me since I was born.
Ryan
He's gonna give me this nail gun too.
Tyler
It's the least I could do is to buy him a 300 nail gun.
Miles
Well, I'm still not sold. You just be like, oh, well, I'm gonna get to borrow it. So essentially, like, would you rather have me buy one too?
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
I mean, come on.
Tyler
Hey, like that trim that you wanted on the ship lap so bad. Like now I can put it up.
Miles
You know, it's actually a really good idea.
Tyler
Yeah, that was the plan there too.
Miles
I had, you think after a month.
Ryan
Yeah. If I honestly, I wouldn't have been. I think it should be longer for people you're not related to. But if you wouldn't have said anything, you, in my mind, you own that saw. You never had to give that back. I would have never known.
Tyler
Well, you had used it one time, I think, and then I took it.
Ryan
You gave it back to me and I barely remember owning it. It looks brand new.
Tyler
Yeah, I, when I was thinking about this, I feel like my rule is the bigger the tool, the longer you can hang on to it.
Miles
That is 100. True.
Ryan
And.
Tyler
And because the bigger the tool, the bigger the project. I mean this could be a six month project.
Miles
Yeah. Like, yeah, nail gun get back to me in a couple months. Correct. Table saw, you got like six months. I think part of it is it's just harder to move around. And you're like, I don't want to have to haul that over there. That's what it's always like. You hold on to that for a little bit. You don't have to haul it back and forth.
Ryan
See, I kind of come up with excuses to not borrow that out. Like I have a table saw. My brother in law doesn't. He needed to use it. Like, why don't you just bring your wood that you need to rip over to my house? Because like, I don't want to have to deal with loading up my table saw and then not getting it Back they make them.
Miles
Now the one I have folds up pretty nice and fits in the bed of the truck. And you still put the tunnel cover down.
Ryan
But mine doesn't fold up for. It's got steel legs.
Miles
I don't have his industrial one probably.
Tyler
Yeah, bigger that, I mean that, that, that, that saw that that eight foot it is.
Ryan
It barely fit.
Tyler
Where are you gonna put that? You know, it's like the bigger the tool, the more you get rid of it for a year, the more room you got in the garage.
Ryan
It is now in the rafters of my garage and it'll be there for another three years. Yeah.
Tyler
And it was the rat in the rafter of my shed for four years.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
So it's a great spot for it.
Ryan
I got a tool rule that's more of a personal rule than it is with using other people's tools. But I think there are certain tools that you have to have two of. So you got to have two hammers, you got to have two drills. And the reason for that is you have the one that's for actual manual labor that you're doing with. And the other one is the in the house hammer or the in the.
Tyler
House like the junk drawer hammer.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
It's like you gotta have one that you're okay with your wife using incorrectly.
Ryan
Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
Miles
And it's usually somewhat of a dumbed down version version. You know, the hammer I have in the junk drawer is a lot different than the hammer I have in the garage. Mostly because the one in the junk drawer doesn't have a waffle on the head because my wife's gonna put waffle imprints on things. You know, that one is a smooth headed hammer.
Ryan
I think maybe you should just leave a rubber mallet in your drunk.
Miles
Yeah, something like that.
Ryan
Bad idea. Fisher Price hammer. But no, I've got, I've got the inside tape measure. It's only a 25 footer. I've got the inside screwdriver, little ratcheting thing that the tips change and then all the good stays in the garage.
Tyler
Okay. You talking in two is when I moved into the house last weekend and I think it was the guys doing the gutters. They did them like the day after we moved in and they left two like three foot levels outside.
Ryan
Hell yeah.
Tyler
Whose are those?
Miles
You just wait it out.
Tyler
Yeah, that's what I've been doing.
Miles
We've acquired a like a really nice tall ladder.
Ryan
Oh yeah, I've.
Miles
It's just been laying on the side of our building that. Oh that you can't see from the road. And hey, we haven't now been. We have probably if someone has 10 months to claim it, because then we'll be in this building for two years and then it's ours.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. I think the weeds are growing.
Ryan
Yeah. The second we use it, we're claiming it. So we got to make sure that we're. We're letting it sit.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Like the dirt hit, like the wind's blowing the dirt like all over the top of it. So it just looks kind of like.
Miles
Someday they're gonna like dig it up in like an archaeology type of thing. And being like, look at this artif. I forgot about that ladder, you know?
Tyler
Oh, yeah, I know, I know.
Miles
The funny thing is, is like we leaving them out there so that in two years we can claim it as ours, but we're going to forget that it's there. It's going to bury.
Tyler
Correct. Yeah.
Miles
In weeds and dirt.
Tyler
Yeah. There'll be grass growing.
Miles
So. Yeah. No one gets it. I guess it's just part of the earth now.
Tyler
I forgot about that. That's a good ladder too. Yeah. These are good levels.
Miles
It's also a very impractical ladder. So it's like one that's like meant to go on top. Like you should be able to reach the top of like a 40 foot building.
Ryan
Correct. It's got like the rope that you pull it to like that.
Miles
Yeah. 20ft tall. I swear to God, without it extended.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
So I don't know. It's. It's good where it's at.
Tyler
But I mean, you, you may need a ladder like that. You. Maybe once every three years.
Ryan
And how are we going to get to the roof of this place? To change light bulbs? We're gonna need a ladder. A really tall one.
Tyler
Yeah. Hvac unit. Get up to them units.
Miles
I would have to probably get a scissor left.
Jared
Scissor me timbers.
Miles
Yeah. I just, I don't have a single practical use for that ladder.
Tyler
No, it'd be great if we did because then it'd be like we got this ladder that we can use all the time now.
Jared
Once it gets claimed, or if it does, then we'll find a use for it. Be like.
Ryan
Yeah, it'd be like two days after they come back to get their ladder. Like, God, it'd been really nice if we could reach. Smoke alarm that needs batteries.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
And the thing is, though, is, like, because there's so many when we're building the building with so many construction crews, I don't know who it would have even been. I wouldn't even if I wanted to return. I don't even know where to start. I bet it's, I mean, I know where to start.
Jared
What about doing it?
Miles
But I'm not calling the H Vac guys.
Tyler
Well, and if it's not, the H Vac guys are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that, we know whose that is. That's the electrical guys. And we're actually going to see him in a couple days here. So we'll just, we'll bring it over and then it's there. It's the H Vac guys ladder. That's how they get it.
Jared
That's how they do it.
Miles
You know, Also, even if we have H Vac issues, we can't call them back for a while. I'm still a little embarrassed about the filter thing. Also got charged an arm and a leg for them changing those filters. So I guess you get, you get what you deserve.
Tyler
I should have had him bring me up there to show me how to change them.
Miles
It's not hard. No, I know. What they charged us is insane frustration tax. I think you should.
Ryan
Oh, man, it was a slander tax. They listen to the podcast.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, again, that's what I get a little bit, but they, you should see what they charged us for batteries for the thermostats. Makes me want to just punch a hole in the Sheetrock and have to call the Sheetrock guys.
Tyler
Like, double A's changed. I had changed all the batteries.
Miles
We'll have to talk about it after. It was unbelievable amount for batteries.
Tyler
It's kind of like a hospital charging like 80 bucks for an ibuprofen.
Miles
Yeah, something like that. I'm pretty sure it's close to that.
Tyler
God. Well, they better be.
Miles
Yeah, these batteries better last us a lifetime for what they charged us.
Tyler
These better be lithiums.
Miles
So, you know, I may have been wrong about giving them about, you know, the H Vac not working because that was user error. It's not user error for what they charge me for batteries.
Tyler
Say that you just mail forwarded to the engineers. Here's your battery.
Jared
There we go.
Miles
Yeah, let's just, let's just put a forwarding address on all bills to the engineers.
Tyler
Yeah, we'll just buy like a forwarding stamp on Amazon or something, make it look official.
Miles
Oh, yeah, can you make that out to BJ Engineering? They got it covered because those guys are always blowing jobs.
Tyler
Yeah, I, I, I, I'm, I'm no longer on the H Vac guys. Backs. I'm on the engineers backs now. Like from behind, like Rear Naked Chokes style.
Miles
So. Yeah, we gotta, we, we potentially have a new ladder. New old ladder.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah, new to us. I, I don't think tools can be too new either.
Miles
No, I think the reason why I said two years is like some can slip your mind for a year.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Because it's always like. Let's say you, let's say you do house projects in the winter and you just take the rest of the year off and then you go back to it. It may be a full cycle until you get back into. If you do projects in the winter. Oh, I need that tool.
Ryan
Yeah, well. Or four years of Ryan having my saw.
Tyler
Yeah. And I, I, I, you not. I looked at that thing like, like no less than 25 times and I knew it was yours. I just kept forgetting to bring it back.
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, it was fine.
Tyler
It was yours and the brand new.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
And no scuffs or anything. I also think of, you know, if you borrow somebody's something like a table saw specifically or chop saw. Blah. You know, take the leaf blower to that baby when you're all done, get her nice and cleaned up.
Jared
That's good.
Tyler
It just shows a little. Yeah, yeah. Thanks for letting me use. I return it nicely.
Miles
I didn't do that with the nail gun.
Ryan
Then leaf blower it.
Miles
No.
Ryan
Do you need to borrow a leaf blower?
Tyler
Looked fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wouldn't even notice that you borrowed it.
Jared
You should put your initials on it, Miles.
Ryan
I should have.
Tyler
Yeah. Where are you guys?
Miles
We're just gaslighting me.
Tyler
Like.
Miles
No, you didn't. That's my battery.
Tyler
Yeah, you got that battery from work. See, there's screen printing on it. I'm pretty sure that's a work one.
Miles
That's my work battery. And it didn't. You didn't give me with a battery.
Jared
Also, I cite all your paychecks.
Tyler
At least you could do for me.
Miles
Well, honestly, like, I might as well just keep this. You go buy a new one. Because, like, I use it a ton anyway. So it's kind of worn down and then you get a new one. Plus it's also got my initials on.
Jared
It at the back of the handle.
Tyler
You imagine if you were to put your initials on it and it's your dad. Where are you guys at with putting initials on where you. I'm on board tools and like coolers and.
Ryan
Yeah, I have my.
Tyler
Never assigned a cooler before.
Ryan
I have my last name on my cooler. I bring for Lunch every day.
Tyler
You think someone's gonna take it?
Ryan
I mean, I had it for. For a long time.
Miles
I'm. I think I'm on board with it.
Tyler
I think.
Miles
I mean, I'm gonna start putting now if Sharpie. Okay. If you're using a label maker to put your name on that.
Tyler
Yeah, no, I'm gonna peel that right off and take it, probably. Yeah.
Jared
Nerd.
Miles
No, I'm on board that the only cooler I have my name on is we did it for a video. And you open up the top and it says, if found, please restock and return to miles.
Jared
That's good.
Miles
It doesn't have it, just my first name.
Ryan
They'll figure it out.
Jared
QR code. Your address.
Miles
Yeah. Great bit by us.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Then you move and you're like, got.
Miles
QR code out on the honey do list.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Any other tool rules?
Jared
I think you should just have like a million tape measures. You can't have enough one in every room almost.
Miles
What's funny is, is you have. You may have five tape measures, but there is one that you prefer.
Ryan
For sure.
Miles
They could be identical, but this one's like. You know, it's a specific one because, like, the. The label on it scuffed a little and you're like, that's the good one.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Even though they operate all the same.
Tyler
Yeah. 12 foot tape measures, too. Should just be, like, outlawed. They shouldn't even.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Pretty useless.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
We have one.
Miles
Well, we got a bunch of free ones, right? Yeah. From Uline.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Which is nice to have free 12 tape. It is frustrating after you're, like, measuring something out and you're like, all right, I got to put my foot down on the ground.
Tyler
Like, all right, the right.
Miles
I got to measure the other way. You're on a wall.
Ryan
You got to put my thumb right here.
Miles
12 was eight and a half. 21.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Then you extend it past 12T on accident, and then A gets stuck.
Ryan
It's. Get that shitty white part at the end.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Make that noise terrible, too.
Tyler
Oh, man. Yeah. 25 foot at minimum. Yeah.
Miles
It's not that much harder to coil a little more in there.
Tyler
No, they're damn near the same size, too.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
I mean, while we're on the topic, you got. You guys ever put anything from IKEA together? Yeah, dude, I'm in the process of doing that right now. I'm. I'm just. I'm at it. I'm at a. I'm at a sticking point where I don't think they gave me the hardware for like the rail. The. Like the rail to attach to the studs. I don't know where that would be at. There's also no words on the directions.
Ryan
That's the most frustrating thing.
Tyler
I mean, it's like, good thing I've read enough. Like, I've, like, looked through enough picture books with my kid in the last couple years to know what they're talking about.
Ryan
But when I first started working for you Betcha, I don't know where you guys were, but I showed up to the old bunker 1.01 day, and there was like seven boxes and miles. Like, today you're putting all this together. It was like before I really had. We didn't really know what I was going to do. I was editing some videos, doing this, doing that, and then I just smoked. Spent eight hours assembling desks and chairs.
Miles
I remember that.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. Me and Anne went to Ikea in Minneapolis, loaded my truck up with as much as I could, and that's what our desks were.
Tyler
Yeah. I wonder, right? One time we went to the store and we bought nine office chairs.
Miles
We went to Costco.
Tyler
We bought. We bought them out.
Ryan
Oh, those are the mesh screen. I remember those.
Miles
They're terrible.
Tyler
They're so bad. We still got one that I sit in that every once in a while. I'm like, yeah, I bought Costco out of.
Miles
That is one thing at this company we are not short on is office chairs. We are flush with office chairs. We got three different. Four different kinds, too.
Ryan
Office chairs and formerly tongs.
Tyler
We could put a down payment. We could put 20 down on a house these days, like with. If we just sold the office chairs. That's how many we have.
Jared
I'll count them.
Miles
They're a lot. Yeah.
Jared
I'd say we have 30 of them.
Miles
I still.
Ryan
At least.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Because, like, the nice ones that we bought for our actual desks that we still use, those are elites.
Ryan
Those are so.
Miles
They're so comfortable. I've never, ever had an issue. But the other ones that we have that are cheaper, like the one Jared's in, is way better than the mesh ones.
Tyler
Yep.
Jared
Or the black. Yeah.
Ryan
The mesh ones are by far the bottom.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
This chair I'm sitting on is better than the mesh.
Ryan
Probably.
Tyler
My back is wrecked right now.
Miles
Dude. I sat in that the other day. It's not that bad.
Tyler
Well, see, because my brother slips past this.
Jared
No, I know.
Miles
You're. You're unnecessarily bitching about something. It's not a problem.
Tyler
I'm also. Yeah. I mean, I'm.
Miles
I'm sore because I bought you such a nice office chair. You realize how bad that's true.
Tyler
That's true. It's like when you get on keto and then you go back and eat McDonald's, you're like, oh, my gut feel.
Miles
I was like, yeah, I totally know what that is. I actually do know what that is. I did keto for two months. For two months in 2018. January, February, half of March. Two and a half months. Lost 40 pounds, met, and then got fat. Dead serious.
Tyler
Circle life.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Back of the keto, baby.
Tyler
So.
Miles
Keto burrito. You can't have burritos on keto.
Jared
Well, yeah, probably right.
Miles
No, Trust me.
Tyler
I'll take a. I looked. I'll take a burrito, hold the tor.
Ryan
You did it, Jared.
Miles
Yeah, basically just. Yeah. Anyways, can't even have meat on keto.
Ryan
Oh, what can you have?
Tyler
Avocado, fat, cashews.
Miles
Eat fat.
Ryan
Just get a ham and eat avocados.
Miles
Nuts and water. And then, like, you get, like, a little bit of protein and even less carbs. It's terrible.
Jared
But I looked great.
Miles
I did trim down pretty fast.
Tyler
There was a point in college, I. I was eating. I was eating Paleo. You guys know what Paleo is?
Miles
That little meat caveman? It's like fish.
Jared
Oh, okay.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So I order fish and nuts and.
Tyler
Bolts, and I ordered this Paleo bread online. I think it came from California. It was like. Like, it would have been like me eating. Eating the. This lamp table right here. It was so bad. I'm like, oh, I'm key, man. You're so ripped off. God, that was bad. That was top modern days.
Miles
So anyway, let's take a break.
Ryan
Yep. Yep.
Miles
All right, Jared, before we get into some patron questions, you guys got to go to. Oh, you betcha. Dot com. And I'm not talking to listeners. I'm talking to you three. Oh, you guys need to go to. Oh, you bet you dot com. Check out our stuff and buy something.
Tyler
Okay, Yeah, I usually do it. Most times we launch something new. Just make sure shit's working.
Miles
Yeah, Y.
Tyler
Buy it, refund it.
Miles
So that's your guys homework.
Jared
Okay.
Ryan
Can I go to the retail store downstairs or do I have to go online?
Miles
No. And we have to ship it to your house.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, I can ship to your office too.
Ryan
Yeah, do that. I'll put.
Tyler
Mail guy will come pick it up, go through the system, and then back right here.
Ryan
That's what I do. I do get most of my Amazon packages shipped here. Yeah, so I'll do that.
Miles
I'm mostly doing that for quality assurance.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You guys doing research?
Ryan
Yeah, I'm not going to tell. I'm going to do it under a fake name. I'm just going to see how fast Ryan is.
Miles
Yeah. And then email from a fake email and see what his customer service is like.
Tyler
Yeah, I mean, it's top tier checks and balances. Yeah. We can get reviews on products. Let me get reviews on customer service because it's top tier. I mean, no one leaves unhappy. That's my motto. I think that's.
Ryan
I will please you however I can.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
So I'm not asking the listeners to go to oh, you bet you.com and check out our merchandise and maybe get one of these hats that I'm wearing.
Ryan
That would be cool. Cool.
Miles
Do we have a promo going right now or is it done?
Tyler
No, it's done. Ran through the weekend. We did free flag.
Miles
That's why you also got to get signed up for email subscriber list.
Tyler
I'm only sending out good only stuff that's worthwhile looking into and spamming. You.
Ryan
Ryan ain't just sending you a bunch of shitty emails.
Miles
No, no, no. So you missed out on a fire deal over the weekend by not subscribing to the email list. So I would never tell you guys to do any of that. You guys need to.
Ryan
Okay, okay, okay.
Jared
Homework.
Miles
But what you are getting is. What did you say? No customer leaves unhappy.
Tyler
Correct.
Miles
Ideal when a deal with you.
Tyler
That's correct.
Miles
Okay, I'll hold you to that. All right. Jared, you got some patron questions?
Jared
I do. Vinnie Colombo, at what point do you go into the fast food place rather than going through the drive thru.
Miles
Really long line. I like risking it for the biscuit. Most of the time it is a like a biscuit breakfast sandwich that I am risking it for. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
The line's gotta be like out of the designated line area.
Miles
Yeah. It's got to be. It's got to be like a fun college weekend, you know, wrap around.
Ryan
Yep. Yes.
Tyler
That's a good analogy.
Miles
Or a porch. It's gotta be like a porch wraparound. I think there's also another scenario because I'm. I'm going through drive thru about 90 of the time. Unless it's a wraparound. Unless it's a long road trip and it would just be nice to stretch.
Ryan
Your legs, get out of the car a little bit.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
You know, like on road trips, most of the time we're stopping and going in.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
And the third Time is, if it's a lot of people in the car or more than three people or around, sometimes it's nicer just to. If just go in and do it.
Ryan
Yeah. Instead you have to play telephone tag or whatever the hell you call it to the driver putting the order in.
Jared
Yeah. I hate being in the driver's seat when it comes to that.
Miles
If only they had invent something like you could have in your phone where you just plug the order in. You don't have to talk to anyone, and then just pick it up easier.
Tyler
Yeah. You can just like they could designate a parking spot for that specific order.
Ryan
Yeah, several. Even in case there's more than one person doing this.
Miles
Yeah. And like, like, easy way to differentiate the cars. They don't know what car you're in. You just. When you get there, just put the number of slot.
Ryan
Yeah, I'm in spot three. Bring me my McDouble.
Miles
Just brings it out. Yeah. So, yeah, that's. I don't know if you guys have anything different than that.
Ryan
No. Pretty spot on.
Tyler
Oh, if I gotta. If my toes are curling, I might go in.
Miles
Yeah. Bathroom breaks. Another reason.
Ryan
Yeah. I mean, I'll do it a lot. The gas station, restaurant combos. Because I'm gonna go into the gas station anyway.
Jared
Those are the best fast.
Ryan
So then if I need some fast food, I'll just pop over.
Miles
Yeah. But if I'm in town and I'm like, by myself or me and Anne, no chance. Drive through for sure.
Jared
You have to be out of town for it to work.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
Weirdly enough, the one fast food place that I go in more than I go drive through is Dairy Queen. Because the kids like going in there, like, eating their ice cream, going in the booth.
Miles
Can't get a. You can't get the free cone phone.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Your name isn't with the drive through attendance at the counter.
Ryan
It's true.
Miles
For good kid of the week.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Also, if they have a play place, I'm definitely going in ball pit.
Miles
Are you all kidding me?
Ryan
If they have a gamecube set up in one of the corners, game over. You remember when McDonald's had GameCube set up in there? That was the best.
Tyler
Not really.
Ryan
I remember that you play Spyro, but.
Miles
Like, the clear glass that the TV was behind was always so dirty that you, like, could barely see the screen.
Ryan
Fingerprints and spit.
Miles
There was just scum.
Jared
So dirty.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
What they needed is like the basketball shoe thing to clean off your shoes where they rip the plastic off.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Every time a Kid would play, they just rip that off, it'd be clean again. Yeah, we're not utilizing that technology enough. No.
Tyler
Or it's like. Yeah, like you go into like a public restroom and they got the. The toilet. Toilet. The toilet deals. You can like, you can take out from above the plastic deal. You just say, you know, should be made of paper.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Get something like that. It's transparent. You can throw it on.
Miles
Yeah. What'd he say?
Ryan
He wants paper ones.
Tyler
He wants like the straws, not plastic.
Miles
Because I wouldn't be surprised. What, so you can save the manatees.
Ryan
Narwhal enthusiast.
Miles
Yeah. No. Yeah, like the paper things go on the outside of the controller.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Imagine trying to play video games with a paper thing over it.
Jared
Oh, my God, I would sweat right through it.
Miles
Just rip it.
Tyler
Jerk. You imagine if it was like, like bubble boy style where like to grab the controller, you had to put your.
Ryan
Hand through the gloves. Yeah.
Miles
That's not bad.
Tyler
Imagine how gross the inside of those gloves, kids fingers popping through the teepee.
Ryan
And ketchup in there. And oh my God, you hit your once a.
Miles
You can't do it till Q2. All right.
Jared
Got till May.
Miles
Yeah. April 1st. You can do it.
Jared
April Fool's Day. You can.
Tyler
And I'll do it. You'll be like, that's Tuesday, April.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
There'S a reason I got rid of them.
Miles
Do you guys ever, as kid play so many video games that your thumbs, like, almost started to get blisters on them?
Ryan
Oh, yeah. UFC 2. The way to submit somebody was to spin the joystick fashions. And I'd use the palm of my hand to do submissions. And I had a big ass blister their first weekend. I got it.
Miles
See, I had calluses on the palms of my hands. So, yeah, from, you know, same motion.
Ryan
You know how much you got a jerk off to get a callus?
Tyler
What made you think of jerking?
Miles
I was 12.
Ryan
What do you expect?
Miles
What else do you do?
Tyler
Why'd you just assume it was from Jane?
Ryan
Off. Yeah, he just confirmed it was.
Tyler
Well, he just said he was 12.
Miles
12.
Tyler
May have been working concrete.
Ryan
He just said, what else am I supposed to do?
Miles
Swinging a hat?
Ryan
He confirmed that's what he was doing.
Tyler
He was pouring concrete.
Miles
I was pouring something. Pouring something out of a chute. I don't get it.
Jared
I don't get it. Holden McGroid, what's your go to Margarita?
Miles
I actually like the sugar free one.
Jared
One what?
Ryan
What flavor though?
Miles
A ridge.
Ryan
Okay. I'm a strawberry mar guy.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
I like strawberry.
Miles
You're a fake margarita guy. You don't, you don't actually attend Margaritaville.
Ryan
I make strawberry margarita Margaritaville branded in my Margaritavo machine. So I think that's pretty good.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
What's the flavor?
Miles
What's the again? There it is. He's having his own podcast.
Tyler
What's the flavor of original margarita?
Ryan
Like lime.
Tyler
It's lime.
Jared
Oh yeah.
Tyler
I think I do like a ridge. I also like mango.
Ryan
Oh yeah.
Tyler
And I've had to stay away from the pineapple ones because of the canker sores.
Ryan
Oh, they'll do that.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah. Pineapple acid.
Miles
I can confidently say I've never had a pineapple margarita. Know.
Tyler
Yeah. It's been about a year or two since I've had one. They're solid. But I usually go for mango cuz I don't eat mangoes that much. So it's one of the one time that I treat yourself, you know, I.
Jared
Think it always should be blended, never on the rocks.
Tyler
Oh, I'm opposite.
Miles
I, I'm, I could go either way. If I'm at the lake, give me a blended one. Like if I'm at a restaurant, I only want on the rocks. If I'm sitting in my Margaritaville machine or I'm at a resort hurt, I'll do a blended.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Wow.
Jared
I'm, I'm pro blending all the time.
Ryan
I like both. But I, I think I do blended way more than I do just because I have a Margaritaville.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
I feel like there's a place in town that makes some pretty fire margaritas. And one of those on the rocks is very good.
Jared
Very good.
Miles
Absolutely. The reason why I'd like to sugar free though is that I could drink more of them. Get a little, it's less gut rot.
Tyler
Yeah. I'm with the ache. Yeah, I'm with you.
Miles
And you can just buy the mix. Sugar free, kind of nice. Now what they're putting in there to make it sweet, I don't know. But it doesn't give me gut rot. Yeah.
Ryan
30 packets of Splenda.
Miles
Yep. Split other tastes like swanning gets you drunk like tequila.
Jared
Ben Dover, would you rather have clean hands, dirty money or dirty hands? Clean money.
Miles
I'd rather have dirty hands. Clean money. Money.
Ryan
But I feel like for all of.
Miles
The IRS agents that are listening, I don't know where.
Tyler
I just sold a hat that said that. I sold a hat on ebay that said that. Dirty hands.
Miles
What do you mean you sold a hat?
Tyler
Well, so I, I, I, when I was cleaning my I was packing my hats up to move and I saw I had this hat that said it said, is it dirty hands, clean money, Dirty hands, clean money. Yeah. I'm like, why the do I have this thing? So I just sold it on ebay.
Miles
I should have wore.
Tyler
I should have kept it more. Ah, sorry guys.
Ryan
But which one Do I get more money with clean hands? Yeah, for sure.
Miles
Clean money. You don't make money.
Ryan
But if it's. If it's the exact same amount of money, I'm choosing dirty hands, clean money.
Miles
I mean there's no risk involved with clean money. It's.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Now if we're talking like a lot of dirty money, maybe.
Tyler
Well, on dirty money, essentially, you know, probably. You're probably laundering it somewhere. So you are cleaning it in the process.
Miles
That is. Hey, speaking of dirty money, dude, we should maybe do a coin of something. Everyone seems to be doing it. I can't believe that.
Tyler
Wow. We'll pull this.
Miles
My brain can't fathom what's going on with people's need to buy a coin with that is just made up.
Ryan
I just don't get why people keep falling for.
Miles
Yeah, that, that.
Tyler
That's what I'm wondering.
Miles
I'm just. That's what I mean. I don't. What is the need to buy these coins and then get pissed when you lose money?
Ryan
Yeah, it's like.
Miles
It's like buying a beer at the bar or buying 10 beers at the bar and being pissed. You got shit faced. It's like I'll do. I'll do 15 shots of vodka and then being like I couldn't walk out of the bar. It was.
Jared
Would you expect.
Ryan
No one told me I'd get hammered.
Tyler
Yeah. I think people are hoping to get onto the next. The next dogecoin where you could buy.
Miles
A million dogecoin not worth anything or.
Tyler
Like it just all.
Miles
It all depends.
Ryan
There was never. There was never a dump on it though.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
Yes.
Ryan
So like all these new ones, every single one is a pump and dump.
Tyler
Yeah, they rug pulls. What they call them Hawk Tua. She did one of them.
Miles
I might have to do the. Might have to do a You betcha coin.
Tyler
Yeah. Yep. YB coin. Rug pull. Just let me know when you're gonna pull the rug.
Ryan
Insider trade.
Miles
All the patrons will know first when I'm gonna pull the rug. This podcast. So if you want to know when we're pulling the rug on you betcha coin. You gotta subscribe to Patreon, call it rug coin.
Ryan
Yeah, people would buy that.
Tyler
Jared oh, yeah. It's all about the promotion buy. There's a whole, like, doc like documentary episode on. On Meme coins and how they just promote the. Out of them on Twitter. Ax formula on his Twitter. And then they just. Yeah.
Jared
Everything up.
Tyler
They yank that rug on you.
Miles
Yeah. So you get inside information on Patreon. You got inside information on how to trade this coin. We could. Yeah. We could call it ins. It's insider trading information.
Tyler
You can't buy. You can't buy anything with this coin. It's just. You just have to it.
Miles
Yeah. And there. Yeah.
Tyler
Hoping that one day you can buy something with it. You know, maybe your great, great grandkids can buy a Tootsie Roll with it or something.
Miles
Maybe like, if. So one of these guys approached me to start a coin. I like, couldn't laugh them out of the room. Room harder. I couldn't like. You couldn't put into words how I would feel about that because it's almost like, so insane that you couldn't even, like, get mad that they approached you. You would just be like.
Tyler
Correct.
Miles
This is crazy.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah. It's like, yeah, I see what's going on with these coins. I'm not an idiot. That type deal.
Jared
How dumb do I look?
Miles
Yeah, I just. I can't believe that. But we should do that.
Ryan
That it'd be fun.
Miles
And what we could do is tell everyone that you're actually investing in the. You bet your toilet paper brand. True, but not really the whole scheme. There was a guy who was pretty good at schemes. What was his name?
Ryan
Started with a P. Peterson. It's kind of like our awards.
Miles
Yeah, Something like that.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
That ski team is what we could do. So anyway. Ponzi.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. Snake oil salesman.
Miles
Well. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Christ, dude.
Ryan
Put some respect on Mr. Ponzi's name.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
It's a respected individual.
Miles
Yeah. Change the world. Love him or hate him, he changed the world.
Tyler
That is true. That is true.
Miles
Is that even a person I. I.
Jared
Think it's named after?
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. So I just assumed. I didn't. I didn't think there was like, a thing. It was called a Ponzi. Anyways.
Jared
I don't think we've ever done this. Question, Lou. Hog holster. What is the official end of whiskey season? I don't think we've ever done this.
Ryan
I think we did do this. It said that it just never ends well.
Tyler
I think.
Ryan
I think we did.
Miles
And that doesn't sound like it always begins and never ends.
Tyler
We. Well, I think patio beer season starts In March or April sometime.
Miles
Yeah. There we go. The first time. Time that you go and drink on a patio.
Jared
Okay.
Miles
Like today could have been. It was 43 out. Tyler was. We shot a video at the bar and he was like, miles, you want to go to a patio somewhere and just get after it? I said, tyler, someone's got to work around here.
Tyler
Someone's got to get there.
Ryan
That was pretty close to the conversation, actually. That actually was Charles Ponzi, Italian immigrant. He started it.
Miles
Nice.
Ryan
1920S.
Miles
Love his schemes. So. Yeah, I mean, that's probably a good rule of thumb. It's kind of. It's fluid situation.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Literally fluid ounces, maybe. Yeah. Are we. Are we in favor. Because this is. Remember, this is like a group thing that we beat the table on round table.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
So I'd say 60. Once it hits 60 degrees. I think that.
Miles
I think also April Fool's day, no matter what the weather is. Yeah, it's done.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
Through March.
Ryan
Okay.
Tyler
Through March. Or if patio beer season starts before that, then that's. That's the end.
Ryan
Because for me personally, that's when whiskey sipping season ends and then it becomes whiskey seven season.
Miles
Yeah. It's not the same thing.
Ryan
Okay.
Tyler
Because, you know, like daylight savings time, spring.
Ryan
I just want to make sure that I'm allowed to be having my whiskey sevens this summer.
Miles
That's not what whiskey season.
Ryan
I'm just. I'm just glad we clarified because I was scared for a second there.
Miles
It's not even close.
Tyler
Daylight savings time is a couple weeks away and, you know, so it gets dark at like what, 7:38? And having a sip of nice visky while the sun's going down, you got to be able to hit that for weeks.
Ryan
I usually prefer mine when the sun's.
Miles
Coming up through the end of March.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah, no, you're exactly right. So I think April 1st is a good one.
Miles
Yeah. April 1st or patio season.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
One fun fact. Your brain burns 400 to 500 calories a day. That's about a fifth of your total energy requirements.
Miles
Yeah, I mean mine probably is like 8 to 1200 a day. That's how I stay so lean. I just. I like to make a break a mental sweat too.
Jared
That's why you're reading so much.
Miles
That's why I'm reading so much. Days that I read could be 2000 calories.
Tyler
How many calories are burned when you're getting brain?
Ryan
I was wondering why you're laughing so hard.
Miles
You said 4 to 500.
Jared
Yep.
Miles
Yeah, that's Quite a bit. I mean, there's some days when I swear to God, Tyler's doesn't burn more than like 50.
Ryan
Actually, I have this. I've been doing cryptograms lately just to give my brain an exercise.
Miles
I wish you'd give your brain an exercise by doing work around here.
Ryan
Yeah, I don't do them during the work day.
Tyler
I mean, last week I was the only one here for Thursday and Friday.
Miles
That's because we were all working, chilling. We were all on the road working. Last Thursday I worked till like 10pm.
Ryan
So that was what it was. The event was. I thought it was Friday for some reason.
Miles
Season I grind in the dark so Ryan can feed his kid so Ryan can feed his family and pay for that new house.
Tyler
I was here at 5:30 last Thursday and Friday a.m. for what?
Ryan
No reason. You just got here to make a pot of coffee and wake up.
Jared
Watch.
Miles
You.
Jared
You have to.
Tyler
I gotta get it before the sun comes up so I can grind in the dark.
Miles
Okay.
Ryan
Turn the lights off.
Miles
Is that a Jerry? That was your fun fact?
Jared
Yeah, I wasn't that good, but.
Ryan
But I know, it's interesting.
Jared
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty basic. I'll come better next time.
Miles
Yeah, let's. Let's amp it up. Yeah, let's do an amped fact fact next week.
Jared
Facts about amps.
Tyler
Ants.
Miles
Interpret that amp.
Jared
Okay.
Miles
Amp.
Ryan
Amperes. Electrical term.
Jared
Yeah, I can do that.
Tyler
Like amphitheaters or like amphitheaters would be a fun fact.
Miles
Yeah, interpret it however you'd like.
Ryan
I would like to know the difference between amphitheater, regular theater.
Miles
Yeah, but don't tell them.
Ryan
I don't.
Miles
Just ruins the fun.
Ryan
If it Maybe it gets a fact that if there's more facts that maybe also include that. That'd be great.
Jared
Okay, noted.
Miles
All right, guys, that's another episode of you Bet yout Radio podcast. May your amps be flied amplified and may your tools be. Be returned safely. Cheers, Ryan.
Jared
Probably your worst one ever.
Ryan
Your amps be pied.
Miles
Oh, you betcha. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Power now.
Miles
Tonic police are toilets Laughing.
Tyler
Through the crime Bottle tools, strings to go electric power chime Dirty hairs clean.
Miles
Muddy sweat drips never care Margaritas, lights tonic Got the ladder.
Tyler
Ryan's got a mouth Foul yet strong B Ladder to the south not afraid.
Miles
To be wrong.
Tyler
Sa.
Ryan
The dumbest things that people take pride in.
Miles
Oh, God. I know. I got some.
Tyler
I do too. I was gonna say first thing come to mind. Yu Gi.
Miles
Oh.
Tyler
Not sure why.
Ryan
That's very random.
Tyler
I don't know why that. I mean, I don't know.
Miles
Yeah. You're saying, like, you know, it's cool to take pride in Pokemon because it's so mainstream.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Whereas, like, Yu Gi oh. Is mainstream adjacent, so it's not as cool to take his pride in it.
Tyler
For sure. Yep. Yeah.
Ryan
I would go blacking out. Like, I don't think that's something you need to take pride in. In.
Miles
Depends on. I think you can take pride on how you black out. You know? How many beers does it take?
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, I think it. You should take more pride in having 60 beers and not blacking out. That's way more expensive.
Miles
Yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right.
Ryan
Hell yeah, I'm gonna mark that.
Miles
You're right in this very small instance.
Ryan
Okay.
Tyler
Yeah, I'm on board with the Tyler.
Miles
Yeah, I get it now. Yeah. It's way cooler to drink 60 beers and not blackout than it is. Is to drink 60 beers and blackout. So you don't need to necessarily take pride in that. Take pride in how long you can go without blacking out. Smart.
Ryan
Like, Yeah. I had a whole bottle of tequila and I didn't black out. Like, hats off to you, sir.
Miles
What are you, Norwegian?
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Shoe.
Ryan
Nice, man.
Tyler
The second.
Ryan
I got one. This might hit a little too close to home for you, Ryan, but having just a mediocre card collection, I just. Just, like, I know you've had some bangers, but, like, I don't like hearing about people's okay cards. Like, yeah, it's worth 35 bucks. Awesome.
Miles
I.
Tyler
First off, my car collection isn't mediocre. You.
Miles
You.
Tyler
You can check my will that I put together. Sports cards are in there.
Ryan
I believe you. I'm just saying. I just. There's a lot of sports card talk going around out here, and then people get really excited, and I'm like, oh, sweet. So how much is it worth? Worth? And they'll be like $28. Like, I quit bragging about that.
Miles
That I'm a little on board with the $28 thing.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
It's a. Yeah, it's more. So. Yeah.
Miles
I would say taking pride in running a 5k. Just not a lot to be pride. Like, half marathon. I slightly get it. It's 13 miles is a long ways.
Ryan
That's more. More than the significant population is going to run in their life.
Miles
Yeah. But being, like, proud that you ran a 5K, it's just bananas.
Tyler
I mean, I think for some people, though, there is surprise.
Miles
Unless you weigh 400 pounds.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ryan
But like, if you're like a normal person, kids are running these 5Ks.
Miles
Yeah. If you're £200 6 foot.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I just, I don't, Unless you literally had some car accident where like you learned to walk again. So if you've learned to walk again and, or you're £900, I think you can take pride in running a 5K.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. None of us can take pride in running 5Ks.
Ryan
No. We're off the table.
Miles
Well, yeah, because it's like if I ran a 5k, I wouldn't be proud of it. I would be like, wow, that was pathetic at how tired I got. Yeah.
Ryan
Like you could be proud for beating a certain time in a 5K.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
It's not, not proud for completing it.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean this what's tough for me because I am getting to the age now where I'm starting to understand why certain people are like into like Ryan says, Yu Gi oh.
Jared
I like.
Miles
Okay. But also it's like you get to a point in life where you just.
Ryan
Like what you like and you just don't care anymore.
Miles
And you just don't care if Ryan the T shirt guy thinks Yu Gi oh is dumb. If you like it, you're kind of cool with it.
Ryan
M.
Miles
So this question's tough because if you take that approach, but in terms of 5Ks, I think I'm pretty, you're.
Ryan
Pretty set on that one. Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm with you on it.
Tyler
I feel, I feel like I have many in my head. I just can't spit them out. I, I, I mean, I like to say like, like people who don't have kids in the school system that like, are obsessed with their high school sports team, but that's probably going to be me.
Miles
So you already, it's not even your high school.
Ryan
You put 100 bucks, it's your kids.
Miles
He's put 300 bucks on this, on these high schoolers.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
We're undefeated so far.
Miles
So I did, I did get nervous. Ryan did show me some footage.
Tyler
Yes.
Miles
Of his team this year dunking every other play. There was even a 360 dunk in the game.
Ryan
Holy High school. Small town North Dakota high school.
Miles
It's, it's not feeling good for me this year.
Tyler
Not, not, not super great competition in the region. So the real test will be a state tournament.
Ryan
And that's where that's not good. Going into the tournament untested. It's not good.
Tyler
I know, I know. You may well, here's the thing, too.
Ryan
You got to get in there, be a body.
Tyler
Miles has the field, and I have one team.
Miles
I know. You made this deal.
Tyler
No, I know I asked you if.
Miles
You wanted any odds, and you said no, straight up.
Tyler
I, I, I'm not mad at the bet at all. The, the thing that scares me is that my team, they may not even make it to state, and then the bet's over. Like, Miles has the field, so he's automatically already in the state championship. I make it there still.
Ryan
That's true.
Miles
Every outcome.
Ryan
You did make that the, the first bet. You didn't make it until they were already in the state finals.
Miles
Correct. Yeah, it is true.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
I mean, literally every option is available to me, but one, like, they could just. There could be a natural disaster. A state tournament doesn't even happen, and I still win. You know what I mean?
Ryan
Yeah. Well, no, I think there's got to be a winner.
Tyler
Yeah. There's got to be a winner crown.
Miles
I don't think so.
Ryan
Because you got the field. If the field doesn't win.
Miles
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Ryan
But the odds of that happening are.
Tyler
It could be a very long. It's a snowstorm. They just push back.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I might have to, like. I wouldn't say that I would do this. Could make it tougher for his team to, to get to the state championship. Terms of physically, you know, slash and bus tours.
Ryan
Finals.
Miles
I mean, they can't win if they can't show up.
Tyler
I could fit four in my truck. My dad can fit four in his truck. You know, I just, I'll just recluse.
Ryan
How big is a high school basketball roster?
Miles
15Ish.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah. Probably 13, 14 at home.
Miles
It's probably like 18 to 20 away games. Definitely 15.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
State tournament might be like, third. 12, 13.
Ryan
Okay.
Tyler
So.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
What was the question again?
Ryan
Dumbest things. Probably take pride in.
Tyler
Yeah. Get back.
Miles
Yeah. Basically, I would just like to blanket all things that are not very hard.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Or they, that everyone does. I'm kind of like, you know, like, graduating high school.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
A little bit like.
Ryan
No, I'm with you.
Miles
It's like, really easy to grad just.
Ryan
Just like the 5k. There are extenuating circumstances, but the majority, it's like, majority.
Miles
It's like, you're really that proud you graduated high school.
Ryan
You just. Yeah. All you got to do is show up.
Miles
Dylan graduated high school school, and he had, like, a 1.2 GPA.
Ryan
Honestly, I think we talked about this last time, but, like, getting Your GED is more like, something to be more proud of than your high school diploma.
Miles
Yeah. It's like, because it means that there was initiative.
Ryan
Yeah. You had to go sign up for it and, like, attacked it on purpose.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
You weren't there because your parents forced you to be there.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, and on the same note, too, like, kids who take pride in their ACT score when they're, like, out of college already.
Ryan
Yeah. That doesn't matter.
Tyler
It doesn't matter anymore. Granted, might have a hell of a lot less in debt to pay off, but.
Miles
Yeah, But I feel like to get a real significant amount to really change your life, you had to be getting, like, 30.
Ryan
30?
Tyler
Yeah. 30 plus 31. 32. Yeah. I had a cousin who got 32.
Ryan
Me, too, actually. Yeah, I was. I got a 29. I was pumped. And then my cousin Zach was like.
Tyler
You got a 29?
Ryan
I did.
Miles
We've talked about this before, Dwee. What a nerd.
Tyler
You and I both got 22s.
Miles
I got 22 twice.
Tyler
I got 22.
Miles
You know, it's like in horse when you win the game, but then you have to make it again to prove it. I proved it.
Tyler
Go.
Ryan
Yeah. I wouldn't have got 29 again. No chance.
Tyler
I did get 20. I got 23 my second try, but that didn't help me at all. You gotta have 24 against our scholarship. So did you guys ever have anyone in your class who wouldn't tell you their score?
Ryan
Oh, yeah. You know, they got, like, a 19 or some.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Oh, no, dude. There's kids getting, like, 12s and 13.
Ryan
Don't you just. The whole rumor in high school was that all you gotta do is put your name on the paper to get a 12.
Tyler
There was a one. There was one girl in my grade, and she's a good friend of mine. She would not tell anybody. Like, she would not tell anybody. Finally. This was, like, a couple years ago, I finally found out. What she got is 13.
Miles
It's really, really so bad.
Ryan
That's so bad.
Tyler
Yeah. But I was actually impressed for how long she kept it quiet.
Ryan
Yeah. That's the real test, is how long she can keep a secret.
Tyler
That's right, guys.
