Miles
It's 67 in here.
Ryan
That's what it says.
Miles
It might be nice to get some heat then.
Tyler
It'll warm up once we start.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Going once.
Miles
Once.
Jared
All of our breath. All of our breaths mix in the middle of the room.
Miles
Yep.
Tyler
There's three hot breaths in here.
Ryan
It was 73 when I came in here.
Miles
That's because all of the, the thermal heat.
Ryan
Yeah. So that's really bad for the equipment. That's why I had to start on.
Jared
Yeah, no, I, I, I'm not saying.
Miles
Anything bad about it.
Ryan
That's why I did it.
Jared
You don't, don't need to give me a reason why.
Miles
Are we recording this? Should be in it.
Tyler
Ryan, quit yelling at Jared.
Miles
Hey, the, the glass man's claws finally come out. Don't back a man like that into a corner. Ryan.
Jared
There wasn't a single time.
Miles
I apologize.
Jared
There was. You know, I didn't raise my voice a single time talking about the AC heat situation right now.
Miles
I'm sorry.
Jared
It's okay. No need to be sorry.
Tyler
You know, Jared's just high strung after the John Cena Heel turn this weekend.
Miles
Oh, really? Oh, we're not, we're not diving into that. It is nice, though, for the people to see this side of Jared. Yeah, I think that he's, he can do no wrong in the eyes of the listeners.
Tyler
People forget that glass can cut too.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Yes, I can.
Ryan
The damn H vac, guys.
Miles
I love it that our jokes about how cold it is in this room right now. It's like we are saying. It's like you looked Jared in the eyes and said, you are a piece of Jared.
Tyler
I mean, in more words. He did.
Ryan
I did not.
Jared
Yeah, but there wasn't more words, so I didn't.
Tyler
You did.
Jared
I didn't, though.
Miles
Hey, guys, let's not let the H Vac woes come between us. That's what brought us together before.
Tyler
I know.
Miles
We're letting it divide us just because it is so cold. My nipples could cut Jared's glass in here.
Jared
Yeah, who needs to buy a laser engraver when you have nipples?
Miles
I, I love it because Jared whipped out a. It's for the equipment on you.
Tyler
It is.
Miles
It literally is. Yeah, absolutely. Just. He, he mansplained what being a producer was to you in one sentence.
Ryan
I apologize, Ryan. I'm sorry.
Jared
Hey, take that back.
Tyler
Yeah, don't back.
Jared
No reason to apologize.
Miles
He doesn't go down the warehouse and be like, wow, it's cold.
Jared
Yeah, I wish I didn't have to either.
Miles
And then it was 50. You go. Well, it's just cold because the heat presses are hot, you know, so just.
Jared
No, it's because engineers.
Miles
Get off his back.
Jared
God, Jared. Jared. I will on you. Just bring the boys back together.
Miles
You know, I don't. That was weird. And we don't condone that type of behavior.
Tyler
No.
Miles
Unwilling not there's anything wrong with that. But in a professional business.
Tyler
Do you consent?
Ryan
Probably not.
Tyler
Then. Then there's. Then you can't.
Jared
Depends what kind of not salted nut roll.
Ryan
Yeah, those are good.
Tyler
Still need clarification.
Jared
Do you not know what to sell? You want me to.
Tyler
I do.
Jared
It's a roll with Ryan.
Tyler
Don't deflect on me.
Jared
There we go.
Miles
This is hot.
Jared
There we go.
Miles
Welcome back to radio podcast. The coldest podcast quite literally today.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
In all the Midwest.
Ryan
It's hot here.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
It's 73 now. Is it 74.
Tyler
That was quick. Damn. We cleared those filters out and that son of a warmed up.
Ryan
I just might just turn it off.
Miles
Well then we'll have stale air. You can't have stale. That's like when we go to my parents house, it's always in 105 degrees. She's like, we'll just turn off the thing and like. But then we'll just be sitting in stale air and that.
Jared
Yeah. You got to have movement and that's.
Miles
How you just gets. It actually gets more stuffy.
Jared
Gotta have.
Miles
There's no air movement.
Ryan
Circular, extra fan on. I don't know, whatever. Sorry.
Miles
Welcome back to veteran radio podcast. The coldest podcast in all the Midwest. I'm Miles. You bet you guy here with Ryan the T shirt guy. We are live. We are hot and cold and we are rocked and rocked and ready to go. Darren, you all right?
Tyler
Did you just call him Darren?
Miles
I said Jared.
Jared
I think he said Darren. I actually. Because I heard the same thing that he's out of here now. He just.
Tyler
Darren's gone. Where did he go?
Miles
Darren.
Ryan
We're good. We're good.
Miles
You're good?
Tyler
We. We are on a PCA low right now. Low?
Miles
No, I'm locked and loaded. I said Jared. It just sounded like Darren.
Ryan
Yeah, that's fine with that Jared.
Miles
Right?
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
That.
Jared
Yeah, that. That's kind of was a mixture. Darn.
Miles
Anyways, Speaking of the PCAS guys, the PCs PCAS are live over on Patreon. If you go to patreon.com you bet you radio you can listen to the episode there. It was one for the books.
Tyler
It was actually a blast.
Miles
We had a great time. And don't just take our word for it. This is what some of the patrons had to say. Dairy queef typo again. Said, this is the best piece of content ever put out. We didn't say that. The patrons said that there's been a lot of the Internet's old miles mistress, which doesn't exist. Said, this is honestly the greatest thing I've watched in months.
Tyler
Hell yeah.
Miles
Not hours. Months, months. And Dixie Normus said, absolutely. A work of art. Now we have to add that to our resume. Not only we experimental, what are we? We're not only an experimental educational podcast, we are an artistic podcast as well.
Jared
It's scientific from time to time as well.
Miles
And so, you know, you got to go over to Patreon, check it out. It's. It actually turned out pretty good. Pretty funny. And yeah, that's the last thing I'll say about the PCAs.
Tyler
Hell yeah.
Miles
Till next year. Yeah. Anything else you want to say about the PCAs, Jared?
Ryan
It was a lot of fun.
Miles
Did a good job. Tyler? Not so much.
Tyler
I did fine.
Miles
Run a show.
Tyler
Yeah, the run of show is one of the most fun parts of it all for not.
Ryan
For not rehearsing at all. I think we did a pretty. Pretty bang up job.
Miles
Yeah. How do you feel, Ryan?
Jared
I. I don't know about you guys. I was exhausted after that. Like, it was just like a complete adrenaline slash energy dump. But it was awesome.
Miles
But we're back.
Jared
We're back.
Miles
We're back. And today we are going to dive into what we think boomers do better than millennials.
Jared
I. I think there could. There could probably be a pretty extensive list for all of us. We're picking our best ones today, aren't we?
Ryan
Okay.
Jared
Okay. We're coming with the absolute fire.
Miles
I think you could say what you want about boomers, but those guys know how to vacation way better than millennials.
Tyler
They do vacation hard.
Miles
They are so good at vacationing.
Tyler
And it's like even scheduling. They could. They can do vacations, however, and they nail it every time. If it's a vacation where they just show up and chill, they nail it. Well, it's a vacation with 100 events. They still nail it.
Miles
Well, what's dumb is we've flip flopped. We millennials got it wrong. We're super chill about planning a vacation because we got the Internet. We can plan it two months in advance and still be fine. We're cool. We can show up to the airport with our boarding pass already on our phone ready to go. We don't got to go get a paper one. Like we're chill and then we get on vacation and all we can think about is home and being on our phone and not actually enjoying vacation. Boomers are the opposite. Leading up to a vacation is their personal worst nightmare.
Jared
Oh yeah, got you.
Miles
You know, they have to book a year in advance, all of this other stuff get to the airport four hours early. But as soon as they cross the threshold of the jetway into the plane, they are vacationing so hard. Oh man. You've ever sat next to a boomer on a plane that orders a drink on the plane. They, the vibes could not be larger with that person.
Tyler
Kind of get lan swans and giggles as they, as they start to make their descent down to the. Wherever they're landing.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Just full vacation mode the second they step off.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
He's like, he's like never been so happy being around his wife before on vacation. Well, what's your issue right now? Why are you so happy and like.
Miles
Millennials suck at it. Cuz they're. We're just always so plugged in. We got, we got to have be on our phone on vacation. You got to take a 100 photos of all the scenery and this and that. Even going out to eat. We have to whip out our phone and review restaurants, look at the menu to see what restaurant we want to and then look at the menu and decide what we're going to eat before even show up to the restaurant. Boomers on vacation are just raw dogging restaurants. They drive by and they're like, that restaurant looks good. Let's go in.
Jared
Yeah, yeah. No reviews.
Miles
We would never do that. We'd be like, well, I don't know is. Let's look at what Yelp says.
Tyler
It's funny you said the taking pictures of everything thing because we're on vacation on the beach and my dad and my sons made a badass sandcastle. And I was like, do you want me to take a picture of it, dad? He's like, no, we lived it. And I was like, what?
Jared
It's a memory in your mind.
Tyler
He's like, this is a super cool sandcastle. You don't want a picture? He's like, ah, it's fine. Like, damn.
Miles
Well, and like, because boomers grew up in a time where before cell phones. And so when you were on vacation, quite literally no one from home could reach you unless they like called the hotel.
Tyler
Right?
Miles
Yeah. Tried to get into your, your room phone that was there. Like they, when they were on vacation they were completely out of office. No contact with anyone back home.
Tyler
The only contact was a shitty postcard from the hotel lobby.
Miles
Yeah, postcard. Or the way that they contact they. They'd be like. To show that they thought about you on vacation, they'd bring you back a really shitty souvenir.
Tyler
Yep.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. And like, now it's, you know, vacation is just like, I'm doing all the same stuff for our age group.
Tyler
Or the.
Miles
Just in a warmer place.
Tyler
Shot glass with boobs on it.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
That boomers annihilate. They blew that market up in, like, 2010.
Miles
Yeah. And so it's like they. In their mind, I feel like they view vacation as a completely. I'm off the grid type of situation where we've never had that.
Tyler
Yeah. I'd add even. Sorry. A bigger blanket statement on top of that. The boomers are just better at unplugging than us.
Miles
Correct.
Tyler
Like, even at home.
Miles
Because they never got plugged in.
Tyler
Yeah. They could, like, leave their phone in the house and go work in the garage for four hours and not bother.
Miles
My dad will just leave his phone anywhere.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
You go on his hunting trip and he'll just leave his phone.
Miles
Like, if anyone needs find my iPhone more, it's my dad than anyone on Earth.
Tyler
Your mom's going to put an air tag in his shoe or something.
Miles
Yeah. Something platter. So, yeah, I think that they are. They could do. And so you're like. Well, they just, like, go and they, like, drink and do nothing. All vacation. Like millennials. We go and explore and all this other stuff. It's like, sometimes that's exhausting.
Tyler
The boomers will explore sometimes, too, but it's just on accident. They don't know where the they're going.
Miles
They took a left instead of a right because they were just trying to remember what streets to turn on instead of GPSing it. And it's like millennials. I feel like we. There's so much pressure to, like, take advantage of being on vacation and going and doing all these things where it's like, then it ends up being more stressed than if you just relaxed.
Jared
Yeah. Actually, you brought me right up to my point in what. What boomers do better than millennials is navigating gps or navigating without gps, because they never. They never grew up with an iPhone, with Google Maps, whatever. The first form of GPS they had was the Tom. Tom. I'm sure whatever they call it. Deal that, like, hook suctions up to the.
Tyler
To the MapQuest or.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Paper GPS.
Jared
MapQuest or it was just, it was just literally a literal roadmap.
Miles
Well now in my, in our defense, like, back then they just had like three roads going through town that were all dirt.
Jared
Yeah. And like, you didn't really need. You didn't need the gap today.
Tyler
Yeah. You didn't need gbs with a covered wagon.
Jared
But also it's like when a boomer gives you directions somewhere. Oh, like, like, okay, say your dad wants to, like you're gonna go out hunting without your dad and he wants you to go to this spot. He will, he'll give you directions just verbally based off of like land markers and county roads and like that. And you're just like, can, can we just look at my Google Maps and we just drop a pin there.
Miles
Or you should try having a dad who works construction and giving you directions in the town he does work in.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
So you know, in 20011, when we were doing that house over by your cousin's house, you know I'm talking about.
Jared
Right.
Miles
You're want to turn right there. Like you're going there to that job site, and then you're just going to hang a right and it should be there. You're like, oh yeah, perfect. The house we did in 2011 next to our cousin's house up. Thing is, I actually do know what he's talking about.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
Or it'll be like, okay, so whenever the big cell phone towers come into eyesight, you're gonna go about three clicks to the west and then you're gonna hang a right to. And there should be like an old windmill abandoned farm set about six and a half miles down the road.
Tyler
Well, it's like, I think too, they, they must have had a class in high school where they had to memorize every single county roads number because they know it like the back. They're like, all right, you're going to take nine all the way to 14, and then on 14 you're going to go past the till, you get to the farm with two silos and then you're going to hop on 26 and had approximately 12 clicks north. And she's like, how the. Do you have them all memorized?
Miles
What if someone listening to this actually lives in a place that what you just described is actually how you would get somewhere with like the exact.
Jared
Probably.
Tyler
I described how I get to Lake park from my house.
Miles
Oh, really?
Tyler
I can get a met. Those are the only ones I know.
Miles
As someone who becomes self aware that I, when I go to different cities and I just am Glued to the GPS that have not taken in where I'm driving. I have tried to now, like, be like, all right, we are on this road right now.
Jared
Sure.
Miles
And I'm taking a ride on this road and, like, try and do it, but just. I just. I'm not built that way like the boomers are. Yeah.
Jared
Was I supposed to take exit 119A or 119B?
Tyler
You were supposed to take the one next to the windmill.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Well, then you would have done.
Jared
Yeah, yeah. Just put the directions in your. In your passenger princess's hands. She'll get you where. Where you need to go.
Tyler
Maybe.
Miles
This weekend, I was in Minneapolis again. Pull up the gps. She pulls up her phone, start driving. I look over, she's on Instagram, and I'm like, can you tell me where I'm going or just put it on this? I don't know. Frustrating.
Tyler
I think another thing boomers do better than millennials is haggle. I think they're way better at negotiating prices than millennials. We're. We're too awkward about it. I'm too scared to lowball somebody. Old dudes have no problem offering a fraction of the price of the product.
Miles
Low, dude, dudes lowballing. My mom is. She gets something marked down at every store she goes at.
Tyler
Any millennial or any boomer that they just.
Miles
She has no shame. She's not technically a boomer, I don't think, but she's right on the edge. We'll just group them in any nick on a piece of furniture or, you know, whatever. She's like, can you do anything about that, dude? 10%. You're spot on instantly.
Tyler
Like, Grandpa will go to the hardware store and look for damaged boxes. Like, I want that one because the box is kind of up.
Jared
See, even if I came across a damaged box, I, I, I, I still couldn't be like, hey, you know, like, this box is damaged. You think you could do it, right? It's like, like, you just pay full price.
Tyler
I just pay the Hope they bring it up.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
And, like, I bought some stuff from my uncle the other day, and he's like, does 300 bucks sound good? And in my head, I'm like, no. But I was like, yep, sounds fair to me.
Jared
Yeah, you probably got it for 200.
Tyler
Yeah. And then my grandpa, he has. He'll go to, like, a swap meet or a flea market and just offer 25% of the listed price and not feel for a second that that's weird. So what are you doing?
Miles
How often does it Work for him.
Tyler
He. His thing. He's like, well, you gotta negotiate. So you start low. I'm like, well, yeah, you don't start that. Maybe 75% and meet at 85. He's like, I'll start at 25. We'll meet at 70.
Miles
Well, I remember as kids, we went to Mexico one time. We went to local shops. My parents are like, yeah, everything here says a price on it, but that's not what it is. And they teach you the art of the haggle.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
You know?
Jared
Yeah. Especially if you guy.
Miles
If it's 20 pesos, show them you only got 10. Swipe out the 10 pesos. It's hard to pass up on that bill.
Tyler
It's right in front of them. Cash is king.
Miles
Even let them hold it a little bit.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
And if, like. If you only have like 50 of what something is. If you only have in cash 50 of what something is marked at. It's like, I only got. I only got this much, much cash. I guess I'm gonna have to maybe come back.
Tyler
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Jared
Yeah, that's. It's a great price. Yeah, you go right ahead.
Tyler
And I think it's a weird trait for this generation to have because they're ingrained in them to not talk about money yet when it comes to negotiating money, they're like, no shame whatsoever.
Miles
Yeah, it's kind of weird. I think it's like their desire to be cheap is stronger than their desire to not talk about money.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah.
Miles
They'd rather be overrides it every single time.
Tyler
Rather be cheap than polite.
Miles
Like, I wouldn't be surprised. My dad got the. The 20 steaks for 40 bucks for $35, which. We talk about that.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Miles
Do we talk about, though, that we. We found like a thread of tiktoks of people basically being like, this is a scam. Like, all the people who got got because you sent me a video, and then I, like, did a deeper dive into it. And all the people who were high on the deal and thought it was great were the people that were like, I'm about to do this. I'm so excited that every person that had, like, it had been like a week after they did it, like, tried and stuff, were just pissed.
Tyler
Is this the same steak deal you're talking?
Miles
Well, so this is all. They have them all over the country. It's like, people are kind. I not. I don't know if I believe it or not, because you are delivering a product and stuff, basically being like, there's this. This is like. This is like the circus or like there's a reason why the circus is only in town for a week.
Ryan
Right.
Miles
Is because once people realize that they got got on stuff, then they're gonna come back and be mad at you. Well, then you just jump town. That's why you only see these steak places in a parking lot for like five days and then they move to the next spot because they know that people are going to come back and want to get. They're gonna want their money.
Tyler
Pretty sweet.
Jared
You can't eat 20 steaks in five days.
Miles
Correct. Yeah.
Tyler
I think from what I've been told, it only takes one bite to know you got over.
Jared
Yeah, that's true.
Miles
I don't even know if you gotta bite it. I think you just look at it. Wow, that's a cooked steak.
Jared
I. I was just gonna say, like, you. It'd be great. It's cheap dog food.
Miles
That's what we said in the pond. Hey, dad literally asked if Ryan wanted the steaks and he tried to get us to eat that.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Little, little 20 steaks for 40 bucks scam going on.
Jared
I wonder what kind of meat it is.
Miles
Like mutton or something.
Tyler
It's old horse that was put out to pasture.
Miles
I don't know.
Jared
Sticky, huh?
Miles
But, yeah, it was like when you view it, when you view the videos, you're like, oh, a lot of these people seem excited about it. It's always the people walking away from the stand all jacked, holding the box.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
And then all people upset are just like, aftermath.
Ryan
Yeah. Don't do it. Jared, do you got any answering the door? I've seen like multiple tik toks about this, but I'm the same way. Somebody knocks on my door, I like kind of freak out a little bit.
Miles
Yeah. You're just like the. In my mind, it's like the audacity. Yeah. To ring my doorbell.
Tyler
It's not Halloween.
Jared
Yeah. Without calling me first or sending me a text to show up unannounced.
Ryan
I like, my parents was just beaging for the door. Like, no, you know, you got answer the door, obviously.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
They're completely right about that.
Miles
Or it's like we. We all have a ring doorbell. But you don't ring a ring doorbell.
Jared
No. God.
Miles
You walk up to it and stand and wave at the camera. You know, you don't ring the ring doorbell. That's crazy.
Jared
It's a good point, actually.
Miles
I mean, he like our age groups to the point. Even if you order doordash, you Tell them to just leave it at the door. You don't even go grab it for them. Even if it's negative 20 out and it were to sit out there for 30 seconds to get colder.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You're like, I, it's not worth risking looking this person.
Ryan
Watch that little dot go across your screen.
Jared
I will thaw out a thing of ramen that's been sitting on my door for 30 minutes. Instead of going to meet the guy, I'll thaw that sucker out.
Miles
Yeah, like what? That's like a. Kind of a funny video idea is like, what would it, what would it be like if a millennial meets a door to door salesman.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Does the door even get opened?
Tyler
Or do. Are we too, do we panic too much to tell them?
Miles
No, but then do we. Yeah, then it's like, and we have to buy.
Tyler
Buy the vacuum they're selling or whatever.
Jared
I, I told you guys about the. You guys ever heard of Southwest Advantage? The, the door to door book salesman?
Miles
Yeah. Yeah. You bought encyclopedias.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
What I, my parents did when I was really young. But there was Southwest Advantage salesman that came to our door at like 9pm one day this last summer. And I just, I, I told her, I said, hey, you know, my wife makes those decisions on education or whatever. So. And she wasn't home. I wasn't lying about that.
Miles
My wife makes decisions on education.
Jared
And, and she was totally fine with that. Ah, you know, that's when the wife is gonna go home. I was like, I don't actually don't know if she's coming.
Miles
She should have been like, she actually died last month.
Jared
Yeah. So.
Miles
Yeah, so now my kid's just gonna go. Uneducated.
Tyler
Yeah, we had, yeah, we had Mormons come to our house one time when I was home without my wife. And I was like, you know, actually, I'm, I'm good. But my wife could really use this lesson. She works from home on Tuesday, so you guys should come back then. And they did.
Miles
And did she get stuck?
Tyler
Yeah, she just told him she wasn't interested, but it was a great prank by me.
Miles
That is great.
Jared
Diabolical.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
What if they were murderers?
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
They were wearing white collared shirts and ties, so they couldn't have been, I think.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah. I always assume when my doorbell rings, either someone's trying to rake me over the coals to try to sell me some, or something bad happens.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
You know, it doesn't even have to be a death. It could be like, hey, just let you know that your sewer Line's busted.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
You're gonna have to dig it up.
Miles
Yeah. Construction next door. Like. Yeah. You're gonna have to just replace the whole system.
Ryan
Huge gas leak.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Neighborhood gas leak. Nobody's smoking outside.
Tyler
You have a gas leak in your house. Let us in. What are those duffel bags for?
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So just. They're a wild generation.
Ryan
They're also better at taking blood thinner medications than we are.
Tyler
Yes, that's true.
Miles
Okay. Yeah, we could. We can play that game, Jerry.
Tyler
They're better at being geriatric.
Ryan
They're better. They're better at bitching about other generations.
Miles
Than we are there.
Tyler
I don't know. We've made a pretty good career off of on boomer dads, but they have.
Ryan
They've had more time to, though, though.
Tyler
That's true.
Miles
They do it more often, too. They're way better at us than getting caught up in Internet scams. Yeah, they're really good at that.
Tyler
And phone scams and door to door.
Miles
Scams and mail scams.
Ryan
The Michael Jordan that.
Jared
Yeah. And believing what they see on the Internet.
Tyler
They are way better at saving Nigerian princes than us, though.
Miles
That is true. There was a period there where no Nigerian prince went unsaved.
Tyler
Yes. Yes.
Ryan
Goated. Run.
Miles
They're also better at. Com. The volume of Facebook comments. They're really good at that. No millennial could hang with a boomer mom commenting on Facebook. No. But no millennial can hang with that.
Jared
But I thought without those comments. So I don't think we'd get the comment sections we have today because it seems like all the millennials just gang up on the boomers. What the are you talking?
Miles
Going into a comment section. And clearly a boomer had stated their opinion.
Jared
Oh, God, it's the best.
Miles
Great. But then you see right below it, it's like 430 replies.
Tyler
Here we go.
Jared
View all.
Miles
Yeah, the. The joker.
Jared
And here we go.
Ryan
Crack your knuckles for your head. Yeah.
Miles
Oh, shit. I need to take a piss before I get into this. Gonna take a piss, grab a snack and some. And some water and then I'll be ready to dive into these replies.
Jared
Yeah, you know what? I should actually brush my teeth too, just so I can fall asleep.
Miles
Read these. Yeah, it's what, 7pm I should do my night routine before I dive into these. It could take a while.
Tyler
By the time you come back, it's at 650 comments.
Miles
Damn it.
Jared
By the end, you just left a comment. Being. Just be like, I made it to.
Tyler
The end chanting to stay here for later.
Miles
This. This Is your. I made it to the bottom button.
Tyler
That ends up at the top.
Ryan
I just had another one. Penmanship is a big one.
Miles
I can't believe how good boomers are at writing stuff that no one can read and being considered really good handwriting. It's a mind because it's like their handwriting is impeccable, but no one can read it because it's in such fancy cursor.
Ryan
It's like ancient hieroglyphics.
Miles
Yeah. Yeah.
Jared
It's calligraphy.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Basically.
Miles
It'S just. All it is is just loops over and over and over again and like. Like, I'll get a letter from my grandma and I'll be like, mom, can you translate?
Jared
And she can.
Miles
And she can.
Jared
Yeah, no problem. It's like if we. Like, if we wrote sentences, like, if we wrote every word, like, we would sign a check or sign, like, a document or something. That's every single word.
Miles
It's like. Like, boomers writing stuff is. Looks like this. Just fluid, nice motion, and then we're, like.
Ryan
Simplified.
Miles
That is true.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
They were so. They're so good at writing, but no one can read it.
Ryan
They take pride in it too.
Jared
Some of it's really good, though.
Ryan
Yeah, but what is good if you can't read it?
Miles
I mean.
Jared
Good point.
Miles
We. If you're in on getting tattoos of what people, like, wrote you, now's the time before the boomers die.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Because when our kids or they or our grandkids want, like, a handwritten thing they want to tattoo on their body, it's just gonna look like chicken scratch. It's gonna look. The tattoo's gonna look terrible.
Tyler
It's gonna be the. It's gonna be a crying face emoji text. Yeah.
Miles
And it's gonna have to say LOL or haha. Yeah.
Jared
I mean, they should have a font called, like, Times New Boomer, and it's literally like this. Just scribbly all over the place.
Miles
Times New Boom.
Tyler
Yeah. That's why Jared likes Comic Sans so much. That's how we write.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
That really is Boomer Sands.
Miles
If boomers are a fancy script font, we are Comic Sans. And as much as that hurts, it's probably true.
Ryan
Truth hurts.
Jared
That's good.
Miles
Oh, man. Like, our. You know, what are our. Our kids aren't even gonna learn how to write, are they? They're just gonna type.
Tyler
I mean, they will. They're already teaching them, but they're not doing cursive anymore.
Jared
Yeah, they don't teach cursive anymore, do they?
Tyler
No, not as far As I know, my kids aren't that far. They're not cursive level yet.
Miles
But like, the thing. What's dumb is cursive is the more efficient way to do it.
Tyler
Yeah. You just don't have to write anything anymore. So they teach you keyboarding class.
Miles
I know.
Tyler
Second grade.
Miles
Why. Why didn't we just. Why did we ever go away from cursive? I don't get it.
Tyler
Because of keyboards, you don't have to write, period. So why learn how to do the faster way of writing if you learn how to type before you learn cursive?
Miles
But what I'm saying is, why did we. Before computers even happen, why were we even doing print? Why don't we just stick with cursive? If it's the faster way to write.
Tyler
It'S harder to read. It's like newspapers. And if newspapers started printing in curses.
Miles
I see what you're saying.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Like the typing, like literal typing is what killed cursive.
Jared
Well, I think when teaching kids how to write too, you kind of have to start them out on just like, just regular script font.
Tyler
I went to Kindergarten Roundup, and the new thing they're. They're really hammered home is teaching kids to start from the top of the letter, then going down.
Miles
Why?
Tyler
I. They just said it's better. I don't know. I didn't ask questions.
Miles
That's how I write.
Ryan
I don't know. I don't think you just want to get mad about it.
Miles
That was a little bit of a boomer moment for me.
Tyler
Changing letters.
Miles
Yeah. Writing from the bottom up is crazy.
Tyler
It's just.
Jared
And incursive. You do write from the bottom up. You pretty much. You write from the bottom up because everything connects at the bottom.
Tyler
Yep. But I don't know. They just. They just made sure at Kindergarten Roundup that they took 10 minutes of the presentation to talk about that. I was like, all right, damn. Well, I'll make sure he starts at the top.
Miles
Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I agree with that. Actually, I think they should have done a 30 minute presentation on that. I think that starting from the bottom up is like somehow you are. You're not as smart.
Tyler
I don't know. I think I want him to start from the bottom so he can work his way to the top. It's true in letters and life.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Why don't you just have your kids start at the top and follow finish.
Tyler
At the top and fall to the bottom like they're trying to teach. No way.
Jared
I think that's where the phrase from the top comes from. Is second grade writing.
Ryan
Or wrestling.
Jared
Or wrestling or Nicki Minaj.
Miles
I'll throw my hand up. I, I, I overreacted. Before I knew what was really going on. I, yeah.
Jared
Your kid one day and give it like six, seven year kids gonna be like, jesus, dad. Like, I don't have any control over what they're teaching me right now. What do you want me to do?
Ryan
You missed the last five pair of teacher covers.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
No, I'm gonna go to parent teacher conferences, I think. Do they have snacks there?
Tyler
Yeah, I think they have cookies. I have to bring one snack a month.
Miles
No.
Tyler
Oh, I thought you're talking about coffee.
Miles
And cookies for you. What the.
Tyler
They had shitloads of paperwork, though. Like, packets, like this much.
Miles
What do you mean? What for what?
Tyler
Kindergarten Roundup is what I had what I'm talking about.
Miles
What paperwork are you filling out for?
Tyler
I had to do like a early screening paperwork. I had to fill out a. Just their general registration paperwork. I had to fill out some stuff for the bus. Even though I was like, he's not gonna ride the bus. They're like, you still gotta fill it out. Like, okay. Then we had to fill out an ethnicity form that was 15 pages long. It was a lot of paperwork.
Miles
You just be like, don't you just got like a stamp that just says he's white?
Tyler
I literally had to go through every ethnicity and just check no. And at the end is like, is he white? And then I check yes.
Jared
It's like, what do you want me to do 23andMe before I fill this out? Or like, I, I'm 0.04% Native American.
Tyler
I just feel like if they just put the like right away is like, is he any sort of ethnicity other than white? Like, if. Yes, and then go to that page.
Miles
Right. In other parts of the country, I think that makes sense.
Tyler
In small town.
Miles
Small town, Minnesota, you could just have the. That right at the top. I don't know. That's just me.
Jared
Why isn't. I mean, kids learn. They, they go to school with tablets. Why don't they just give you a tablet to fill this up?
Tyler
That would have been really nice.
Miles
Yeah. There's the E sign.
Tyler
They talk. That was another thing in the presentation. There's an iPad class in kindergarten that teaches them how to use the iPad. Correct.
Miles
News flash, kindergarten. They all know how to work them already. Anyways. You ever seen a kid work an iPad? They know every nook and cranny of that thing.
Jared
I I haven't, actually. I'm being completely honest. I've kid.
Ryan
Oh.
Miles
Yeah. It's crazy. They just know what to do. I don't know how, but they do.
Tyler
Yeah. I, I, I'm kind of with Ryan. I've not seen mine. I've seen a couple.
Miles
Well, do you give an iPad to your kid?
Tyler
Not really.
Miles
Well, there we go. Yeah.
Tyler
So he's gonna be having.
Miles
You gotta be relying on nieces and nephews and friends as kids.
Tyler
Well, he's, he's gonna love iPad class in kindergarten, for sure.
Miles
You, you signed them up for that?
Tyler
No, it's a thing. They just teach it.
Ryan
Curriculum.
Miles
Them.
Tyler
It's part of the curriculum.
Miles
What are you gonna do about that, Ryan?
Jared
Homeschool.
Miles
Oh, no. What are you gonna do?
Jared
He's gonna be working outside from noon.
Miles
To 5, so what are you gonna do?
Jared
Noon to 5, working outside.
Miles
So what are you gonna do, Ryan? This is, this is kind of a legitimate question, kind of a joke, but mostly legitimate question. What are you gonna do when your kid has a substitute teacher and they roll in the cart with the TV on it? What are you gonna do?
Jared
I mean, my kid, like, he's gonna watch the movie. I'll sign the, I'll sign the slips. And yes, he can watch, you know, the Hangover too, or whatever. Would that be awesome?
Tyler
That's, that's first grade. They do Hangover one in K. So.
Miles
You'Re, you're okay with that?
Jared
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I, I really have no control over it, so. And I think it's fine for them to watch TV every once in a while, and it's a. When it's a daily occurrence and they don't even want to, like, you ask them to do something. They don't even look at you. It's like, okay, we're taking this.
Miles
No, I'm on board with that.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
I just. Yeah. Just curious because I know.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Pretty. You're.
Jared
You guys think I'm strict about it. Yeah, I mean, from, from birth until, like, let's say, two to three years old. It's just like, kids don't. They just don't need an iPad in their face, you know, just. How about you put your phone down?
Miles
I'm, I'm on board with you.
Jared
No, I know.
Miles
I just, you know, Mike, you know, and Ann and I are running late for something. It's nice to just sit him down, throw on Ms. Rachel for 20 minutes, and then he doesn't cry.
Tyler
Mom, I've never, I've never, I don't.
Jared
Even know what Ms. Rachel's voice sounds like, to be honest.
Tyler
Like that. I was doing a perfect impression there. She's got. And like, he watches that voice.
Jared
He watches that at daycare.
Miles
Oh, so give him an iPad then.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
All right.
Miles
Speaking of being a dad, I. Our next segment falls very good into this. What we're talking about here falls very good into this. Wait, what's going on with my speech today?
Jared
I don't know.
Miles
Still coming down after the PCAs.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
No, you were still hungover from the Prosecco. Next segment is what's a great example of around and find out. And I thought that being a dad, you're constantly reminded by your kid that life's all about around and finding out. Yeah, it's a great example. You know, that's their entire life early on is all about around and finding.
Jared
Out, because they don't. They don't. They haven't found anything out yet.
Miles
Oh, yeah.
Jared
The only way to do a lot.
Miles
Of around and not a lot of.
Jared
Finding out around multiple times before they actually find out.
Miles
Yeah. It's like, hey, what happens if I just throw this on the floor? What happens if I tip this over? You know, if I cry, do I get attention? Let's see.
Tyler
Let's around and find out. Yeah.
Miles
And it turns out that one they do. They're like, yes. Yeah, I do get attention if I cry. And it is awesome.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
But if I cry too much and if I fake cry, I'll around with that and find out if they come and help me.
Miles
My. My current kids around and find out is he's. He's got a walker that he scoots around in, just going full bore right into my toes. It's like, will this hurt my bottom? And it's like kind of a little, you know, like, plastic can be like, come to a point kind of. And it's always just jamming me in the feed.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
So it's like. But it's kind of nice, though. It's like, gotta keep my head on a swivel in the kitchen now. You know, just when you think you're just relaxing, you just gotta stay hard. Like Ryan.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Gotta make sure you're not waking up early. And he's out there and got up early. Put him in the walker. Groggy.
Miles
In some scenarios, I have to just jump up and press my feet against the island and the cabinets so he can go underneath me, because that's my only route out of getting my feet jammed.
Ryan
What do you think of wearing slippers? In the house.
Miles
I'm. I'm for it.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
I actually wear my shoes a lot in the house.
Tyler
I'm a big slipper guy. I got slippers for Christmas.
Miles
Like this might be a serial killer traitor me, but I'll come into the house and I'll wear my shoes like for like an hour and a half in the house without taking them off.
Tyler
That's weird.
Miles
Just eat.
Jared
That's insane.
Miles
Eat dinner with my shoes on.
Tyler
That's real weird.
Ryan
Yeah, but it's all hardwood, right? You're not walking.
Miles
Yeah, yeah. Lvp so. Luxury vinyl Plank Joe. Yeah, yeah, sorry.
Jared
Yeah, I think that's what I got. My kid, he. I got a Roomba now. My kid jumped on the Roomba the other day and was like scooting around. Then he. And then he, he fell back, hit his head on the floor. And I would hope he found out something about not jumping on the Roomba.
Tyler
He'll be back on. He'll be back hours. His leg held up good, dude.
Jared
I. The other day he tried climbing on the roof and jumping off the roof of the house. No, I'm kidding. Oh yeah.
Tyler
How the did he get up there?
Jared
He's jumping off everything.
Tyler
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Jared
I mean he's. He is putting that leg to the. He's. He's around seeing that leg's okay.
Tyler
He's trying to find out how strong it is.
Jared
Doing pretty good.
Miles
Well, sue, the problem is is they do find out immediately, but then they have to around to see if that was a one off occurrence or not. Right. Okay. Was that a fluke that I fell off the Roomba or should I jump on it again? And I think that's. Kids are a great example of around find out. It's. They are the purest form of that and we just lose it as we get older.
Tyler
They're just constantly around.
Miles
Well, we just like we get told no so many times that it's just like they beat the around out of us. You.
Jared
And like as adults, we don't like there's not a ton left. There's not a ton more finding out to do, which is kind of like. I don't know, it kind of sucks.
Miles
I would disagree.
Ryan
I think, I think we don't know yet.
Miles
I think a lot of people should be doing more finding out around and finding out.
Tyler
I don't know. I'm just, I'm so anti around. I hung a swing from a tree branch yesterday and I ratchet strapped the ladder to the tree. I was too afraid to around with the ladder. I didn't want to find out at all. So I just took the around out of it.
Miles
I mean, I mean, I think it was just approved. I think we also just call that you being a giant.
Tyler
Yeah. I was just too afraid to around. Same thing.
Jared
Yeah. But the. The moment you're on your back, not able to move.
Miles
So I would venture to say that you around in other scenarios that led you to find out that you should ratchet strap.
Tyler
Yeah. Or other people around in that scenario. Scenario. And I use their finding out.
Miles
That is the one nice thing about the Internet is you can let a lot of other people around for you. So you can just find out secondhand.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
That is proxy. Yeah, it's nice. That's actually a great, like group chat feed of you. Everyone just sending videos of people around and finding out. Me, I guess that kind of is.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Every group chat.
Tyler
I guess it's on Instagram. It's called Epic fails.
Jared
That's a good one. Good one.
Miles
What's another great example of effing around and finding out?
Tyler
Teasing your wife because there's a line and I around and found it several times.
Jared
We talking verbally or physically teasing her physically.
Tyler
I think that's. That's subject for not the podcast.
Miles
Well, I mean, like, yeah, we doc. Are you talking foreplay or what?
Jared
Yeah. That type of teasing.
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, there's no other physical teasing. I'm talking. I'm talking verbal. I'm talking verbal. You can only needle so far until you step over the line. Then she's just pissed. Then you got to deal with that the whole night. Maybe every once in a while you really cheat. She'll verbal. She'll verbally abuse you back. It was a joke. It's like, okay, I was kidding. I mean, I know it was an extremely personal thing for me to say, but I was kidding.
Miles
Yeah, I. I feel like I'm pretty good at around and not having to find out. Meaning, like, I know where the line is. Maybe there was a time where I figured out. I found out.
Tyler
So the problem for me is like, I'll come home and I don't know what kind of day she had. And then I'll around and find out immediately what kind of day.
Miles
Why don't you just add in like, hey, honey, how was your day?
Tyler
Because.
Miles
And that's you minorly around to find out if you can truly around and.
Tyler
Find out because I'm not living in a 90s sitcom. I'm not coming up. Hello, dear. How was your day?
Miles
So what Are you coming home and doing.
Tyler
I'll. I'll say, what's up? How are you doing?
Miles
That's it.
Tyler
Or I'll be like, how are you today? Did you fucking break any pots?
Miles
Okay, well, there you go.
Tyler
I like giving my wife shit. It's our love language.
Jared
Cleaning dishes today.
Tyler
Yeah, I see the dishes are still dirty. What the fuck? You've been up to.
Ryan
A little strong.
Tyler
Yeah, well, I found that out. I was around.
Jared
Hell yeah.
Miles
I mean, I like that. I'm gonna be honest, Tyler, I don't. If you'd have just ran that by us, you wouldn't had to around and find out. We could have probably just led you in the right direction on the brakes a little.
Tyler
I found that one out a long time ago. I hit one of the. Becca and I had just moved in together and I hit her with. Hey. Hey. Do you know why women's feet are. Are smaller than men's? She's like, no, why? So they can stand closer to the sink.
Miles
Oh my God.
Tyler
She didn't love that joke at all. She's actively washing dishes when I did it.
Miles
How you were able to get laid three times is beyond me.
Tyler
My wit and charm. I've around found out.
Miles
What else do you got? You got. What else have you been around?
Tyler
I mean, with the. The whole dad thing, you.
Miles
No, no, no. We want to know more bad things you said to your wife.
Tyler
Oh, no. I tease her about her knees. She's got bad knees and they make these weird clicking noises and I was like giving her for it. And then she took one the wrong way. I was like, you gotta like circle.
Miles
Her knee went the wrong way?
Tyler
No, she took a joke, a comment way. I was like, you gotta start going for walks. And she took it as a you're a you're fat comment. And I meant it. You gotta get your knees healthy comment. And that didn't go well.
Jared
Yeah, it was just. It was just the way you presented it because she.
Tyler
She got up from the couch and her knees clicked and I'm like, you gotta start going for socks.
Jared
She's only lifter though. She's an Olympic lefter.
Tyler
Yeah, bad knees. So there's that one that was very recent. That was like two days ago.
Ryan
Really, just to be a communicator.
Tyler
She's like, what's that supposed to mean? And I'm like, your knees click. And then that was what I really meant. But at this point, I'm feeling guilty and I'm acting guilty because I know what she thinks I meant. And it was just a show.
Jared
Yeah. The hole's already dug.
Tyler
Yeah. And I was like, I'm just gonna shut the up and let you cool off because I. If I say anything, it's gonna get worse.
Miles
Yeah. I feel like my wife's got pretty thick skin.
Tyler
Oh, yeah, that's good. Cherish it.
Jared
My wife gotta present. You gotta present that. You can't be like, hey, you have thick skin. What do you call me?
Tyler
Fat. What do you mean by that?
Jared
You know, it's all about guys. We gotta present stuff the correct way.
Tyler
Do you think I'm not emotional enough?
Jared
Yeah, yeah.
Tyler
No. I don't want to make it sound like she's super sensitive, but I. It's more me just pushing too much. I push a lot.
Jared
I mean, I do that with you guys quite a bit.
Tyler
Yeah. And I'll snap sometimes.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Right, right. And there, there, there's the finding.
Miles
But also, like, you guys, we've all snapped on this podcast at some point.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
And although we may feel a little guilty about snapping on this podcast, it does feel good once in a while to just do a clean break and just snap completely.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
The thing about.
Miles
So honestly, we're doing our wives a favor by giving them that em release of being able to snap on us.
Tyler
I'm using that. That's good.
Miles
Which they're just gonna go through life just like hunky dory.
Tyler
Well, I would rather have you take it out on me than an unsuspecting stranger that commented about you. That's true.
Miles
I'd hate for you to be standing in the Enterprise rental car line and lose your. On the person working the desk. Because I've been there.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Because I've been there. And it's no. It's no bueno, as they would say, speaking community.
Jared
The thing about snapping on this podcast though, is you. Is like, it's supposed to feel good, but it doesn't because then you'll. You'll never hear the end of it.
Tyler
And it exists on the Internet forever.
Jared
The grilling bit will never die.
Tyler
I know.
Jared
And like, it would have felt good in that moment had it not come up.
Tyler
If we had. If we did that same. Except it was just in some one of our garages. Drinking it have been therapeutic as.
Jared
Yeah. Like your wife snaps on you and you never talk about it again.
Miles
Friends would have been like, yeah, man, maybe you're right.
Tyler
No. Off.
Miles
No.
Tyler
Bring my friends into this.
Miles
No.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
What the.
Miles
What I meant was, is like, we all have friends that when you're just in the garage and vibes are good. They don't want to. They don't want to start the argument that we started.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
You meant and friends. Like, friends you'll.
Miles
With like. I actually did it. I actually didn't mean it as you have friends. I mean. Yeah, that like, everyone's got friends. That.
Tyler
He's living the knee moment right now.
Jared
You do have to try and talk your way out of the hole. I do it all the time.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Oh, yeah.
Tyler
But then there's. There's a. There's a limit of around talking yourself out of the hole until you find out you just gotta stop.
Jared
Yeah, I know.
Miles
You're just. Then you're now just in gaslighting territory, you know? Yep.
Ryan
I was talking to Ryan Utah.
Miles
Well, the reason why I said you have friends because Ryan was talking about how your friends are.
Ryan
Here we go.
Miles
And then Jared chimed in, so I figured this is a safe space.
Tyler
No.
Miles
No, I apologize to your friends. I didn't mean them that they're. But what I meant was, is like, when you're in that scenario, people are less apt to get into argument like we do on this podcast. And so they're just going to be like that. You would have gone away from that being like. Yeah, everyone thinks grilling's kind of dumb. Yeah. It's just. That's just not how you should feel ever.
Tyler
I can't say on this podcast what my friends would have called me if I said that.
Miles
They would have been on our side.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Did they give you after that went down on the Internet?
Tyler
A little bit. They don't watch the podcast. No.
Miles
So I can call them.
Tyler
It'd be weird. Don't you think it'd be weird to watch a podcast of your friend?
Miles
Yeah. So it would be like you listening to your friend talk to his other group of friends.
Tyler
Yes.
Miles
And just being like, on the. Yeah, you're right.
Ryan
Because you don't listen to Charlie's podcast.
Tyler
No, it'd be weird. Like, I can't listen to us. Like, I'll go back and listen to special episodes like the PCAs or like road trippers, stuff like that I'll go back and listen to. But I can't just listen to a regular episode of us even. It's like, I. I was there.
Miles
Yeah, well, it's different when you're on it, but yeah. Yeah. Well, anyone else got any great examples of around find out.
Jared
Yeah, I mean, it's tough to beat that conversation.
Tyler
Jared around with how long you can have a fish without feeding it.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
How long?
Ryan
Week.
Jared
Yeah, it's about like.
Ryan
I didn't feed it. I think another one is. We haven't really talked about this is you have a furnace, you don't change the filters.
Tyler
You're gonna find out.
Jared
You find out how cold it can actually get in inside.
Miles
Yeah, Yeah. I think that that is kind of filed underneath the category of an unintentional around and find out.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
You know, I imagine there's a lot of people out there that just don't even think about the fact that they would have to change the filter on their rooftop commercial furnace unit, you know?
Jared
Correct.
Miles
I'm sure there's a ton of people out there, but it. But they are around with that and their air and their H vac system and then they find out, so. Yeah, I totally get that.
Ryan
Yeah. I wasn't saying you. I was just saying.
Miles
No, I. I didn't take it as me. Why? And see, that's how you like, don't take things personally on this podcast, what I just did.
Tyler
Oh, yeah, I was. I was defending my friends. I didn't take it personally.
Jared
Good friend.
Miles
Actually, you also clip this and show it to your wife too. Give her a kind of a master class on how to not take things personal.
Tyler
I already. I'm done.
Jared
The chicken. The chicken deal.
Miles
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Jared around by putting that clip out and he found out. That made you really mad.
Tyler
Yeah, that was different. Producer runs downhill. Trade me.
Miles
Yeah, but Jared should have caught it before it.
Tyler
He should have.
Ryan
Don't you dare post this.
Tyler
I believe you. I believe you said that.
Jared
Another situation of around finding out. This one's kind of specific, but. But driving down a minimum maintenance road in like the winter or the spring.
Ryan
Oh, that's a good one.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
I have one just. Just right down from my house and I was gonna. I was gonna take it to work the other day, just so, you know, kind of feel. And I probably. I mean, it's like, it's a. It's a section. It's a section long, so a mile long. I probably got a hundred yards into that and I just backed all the way out. Backed all the way. I said, there's no. There's will be no more around here because I do not want to find out what it's going to take for me. Truck on.
Ryan
You're like, the. Maintenance is minimum on this.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
You're like, what the. Why don't they plow this? Like, I know that they're not going to come fix the potholes, but yeah.
Jared
Like, like minimum maintenance is still. There's still maintenance on it.
Miles
Why does it just say no maintenance?
Jared
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
Like what time of year maintenance going.
Jared
Down, Minimum maintenance run that I don't know what I'm about to encounter. It's like it's the only time I drive 10. 2. Yeah, 10 and 2. White knuckle with my face over top the steering wheel and I feel like.
Ryan
20 of the time it pays off.
Jared
Yeah. It's like.
Miles
Were you with me and Charlie that one time when we went to go at the bar for bellied up and we like turned down a minimum. Minimum maintenance road and we actually like took it the whole way and it was just like bouncing. It was like the truck was on hydraulics.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Jared
And it's different. Like it seems like when you. When you're out hunting, when you have hunting clothes on, no problem.
Tyler
The bounciness of the road doesn't matter.
Jared
Your truck, it doesn't matter what's happening to your truck. But when you're just in street clothes like you can't be.
Miles
You can't be risking minimum maintenance rows and street clothes.
Jared
No. God.
Miles
You gotta either be in workwear or hunting gear.
Jared
Correct, Correct.
Tyler
Do you guys remember what would. The northern light lights. We could see those this last summer. So I left my house at like one in the morning to go find a spot on the minimum maintenance roads where I could get away from the light pollution and see the northern lights. And it was when my leg was fucking broken. So I was baja ing in the middle of the night on these minimum maintenance roads, driving with my left foot and my right foot in the fucking boot just bouncing up and down and it hurt like a.
Miles
You just don't love the northern lights.
Tyler
I never. I had never seen seen him. I wanted to see.
Jared
I've never seen him either.
Miles
What?
Ryan
I haven't either.
Miles
I've seen tons of times.
Jared
I've never seen him.
Miles
You can see him from in Fargo.
Tyler
We're not talking about the strip club.
Miles
No, last summer. Whatever. We. Whenever they were. Last route you could see them from Fargo.
Tyler
Yeah. Not in town though. I tried to see him in town. Too much light pollution.
Jared
Yeah, the trees are too high for me too. I like through my old back. I couldn't see anything.
Miles
I live in a neighborhood without trees, so.
Tyler
You should have. If you'd have drove like. Like a mile south of your house, you just. They were way different. They were super cool.
Miles
Yeah, I can just google it.
Tyler
That's not the same, you know, it's.
Miles
Energy Yeah, I guess. On a broken leg, rolling down a minimum maintenance row at 1am for the Northern Lights. It's kind of where I'm like, yeah, I think I, I'll just.
Tyler
If I had seen them before, I absolutely would not have done that. And then was it worth it?
Miles
Good.
Tyler
I, I thought in the moment, yeah. In hindsight, no. Because then I ended up seeing them again. Opening morning of rifle season this year. So I saw him twice in one year. If I'd have known that was coming. Absolutely wouldn't have done.
Ryan
I feel like it happens like twice a year already.
Miles
It happens. Yeah.
Tyler
I just miss it, apparently.
Miles
Well, that's a great life lesson, Tyler. Don't blink.
Tyler
Yeah, I did it. I took advantage.
Miles
Just like that. You're 27 years old and you miss another Northern Lights.
Tyler
I'm 30.
Miles
Don't blink. You're 30?
Tyler
Yeah. We're the same age for like half the year.
Miles
No, I'm 31. About to be 32.
Ryan
Okay, so we probably only have like 150 Northern Lights left in our life twice a year.
Miles
So you think I'm dying at 82? Yeah, that adds up. You know, I'd take that.
Ryan
I'll call my shot right now. You're gonna die at 82.
Jared
It's a full life.
Miles
Yeah, we should do that.
Ryan
That.
Miles
Let's all pick when we think each.
Jared
Other are gonna die for like pre hospice too.
Ryan
I think Ryan, I think he'll die at 88. You seem like an 88 guy.
Miles
I don't know, dude. His high level of nicotine and caffeine consumption, it's gonna be hard on your heart later.
Tyler
Yeah, but he is going. If he continues to go the next 88 years hard, his heart will be in really good shape.
Jared
True. You, you guys are still stuck in my old caffeine way. I, I, I drink like I drink no more than 250 milligrams of caffeine a day.
Miles
Still a lot.
Ryan
That's a lot.
Jared
I mean I haven't had a five year fiber energy deal on the pcas. I haven't had fiber energy in like three or four years.
Miles
Except for on Friday.
Jared
I didn't have one on Friday.
Miles
Oh, didn't you say you have one in the pca? Didn't you just say that?
Jared
No, I haven't, I haven't had one.
Tyler
In response to your comment from the PCA's opening address.
Miles
I mean you saying you only had 250mg a day now as a downgrade, just further my point. About how much caffeine you consume.
Jared
I mean, that's. Damn. It's just one energy drink.
Ryan
Yeah. Energy drinks are good for you, though.
Miles
Yeah, it's really bad for you.
Jared
We all drink them.
Ryan
I don't.
Tyler
I do.
Jared
Thank you.
Tyler
Yeah. I'm not saying I consume the healthiest things.
Miles
Do we need to rewind and show how not to take something personal that I did when Jared made a joke?
Jared
Well, no, I just had to clear the caffeine consumption thing up because, like, I used to drink, like, 600 milligrams of caffeine a day.
Miles
That is.
Tyler
Jesus.
Jared
Just so crazy. I mean, but, like, the guys on the construction.
Miles
I'd be sitting here, and you would just see my. My heart beating in my chest if I had 600 milligrams. Like a cartoon.
Jared
Like, guys on construction crew is two monsters. A day is not out of the question.
Tyler
They're all gonna die when they're 55.
Miles
It's like no one's. No one's viewing construction workers as, like a. Like a temple of health. Yeah. I didn't say you're not gonna live long. I just said 88.
Jared
Give me 87, then just take a year.
Ryan
Why don't you, like 88? 88's good.
Jared
Well, no, I'm saying because of the caffeine, because of the 2,000 milligrams a day. Okay, give me 87.
Tyler
I'm stiff at 100 bills.
Ryan
Yeah, I could see that.
Miles
I think Tyler will live the longest because he's gonna reach a point where he's gonna basically just beg the world to die. He's gonna be sick of it.
Tyler
Yep.
Miles
He's gonna be done. And then those are the people that make it the longest.
Jared
Yeah. So in turn, you're gonna live longer.
Tyler
They're gonna interview. Like, is there anything you wish you'd have done differently in your 100 years? And, like, I wish I would have talked to less people.
Jared
I wish.
Miles
No, you'd be like, I wish I would have died 20 years ago.
Tyler
Yeah, I'll have 175 great grandkids at that point.
Ryan
Oh, man.
Miles
I think I'll make it to 80. I think with just technology and our ability to heal is in your 80s, you might not have quality of life because you're like, you know, you got all the ailments and stuff, but they'll. They can keep you alive for a long time. Like, no.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
So I feel like we all got a pretty good shot at making it to 80.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
God willing, we'll see. They do say one in four people die before they turn 50, but do they? No. I don't know. I just made that up. Thought I'd make the room feel a little uneasy after I said that.
Ryan
Was it gonna.
Jared
Not me.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
Ryan, this is also how we help our friends out. We bully you enough to where you're like, fine, I'll just have a cup of coffee every day.
Jared
Yeah. But I was like, hey, like, you're. You're getting fat. You have to start exercising. I didn't, I. We didn't bully you into starting exercise.
Miles
The Internet is already doing it for me.
Jared
Like, they're not personal friends.
Tyler
If, if, if he wasn't my boss and we were just friends outside of work, I absolutely would have.
Jared
Why?
Tyler
I'd have bullied him into working out.
Jared
Why? Just cuz he's your boss. You're. You're looking out for him.
Tyler
There's a professional courtesy here. I can't be like, hey, buddy, you're fat. Go lift weights.
Miles
I can't see your ears.
Jared
Why not, though?
Tyler
Because that's you. There's a line you don't cross. You don't say that to your. I could say it.
Jared
I mean, let's just say he was like, addicted to heroin. You'd be a professional courtesy. I'm not going to tell you to get help or anything, so you just keep.
Tyler
No, no, no, you're sticking. You're confusing what I'm saying. I didn't.
Jared
I'm not.
Tyler
I said I wouldn't bully him. I could talk to him and tell him. Be like, hey, it looks like maybe you're getting a little unhealthy.
Jared
Okay.
Tyler
I can't bully my boss into it.
Jared
Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm following him.
Miles
I mean, you could have done it in subtle ways. Could have been like, hey, you wanted me to get you the, the new merch printed up, so here's your 5XL shirt. You know, like, you could have done that. You chose not to.
Jared
That would have been a good bit, actually. 5xls are not cheap, though. That's the thing where we were running tight budget around here.
Ryan
It's like three xls is sewed together.
Jared
Yeah. Well, it's like you take the price of an XL and times by five, I suppose.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
You know, more fabric. Yeah.
Miles
I mean, you guys may not have bullied me, but the Internet did. And honestly, you know, most people go like, wow, the Internet bullying is bad. In my case, I think it was probably what I needed at the time.
Tyler
One of the rare success stories from cyberbullying.
Miles
Yeah, I think.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Coming out the other end. Thank you for calling me on my. You know, because anytime someone gets mad about something on the Internet, it's usually because you feel that there's truth behind it. That's what makes you the most mad. So.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
Do you think you'll ever let yourself go again?
Miles
Probably. No. I will just fluctuate. I don't think I'll ever get as large as I was, but there's gonna be something that happens, and I just don't care about it as much. And then, you know, you gain 10, 15 pounds. I hope I don't gain 60 pounds again. That would be bad. Yeah.
Jared
It's like. Yeah, you enter in a raffle and you win free Culver's for life or something.
Miles
I guess. Here we live to be 83 and, like, eat carrots and. Or live to be 50 and eat Culver's every day.
Tyler
Just take the Culver's bat and just work out extra hard.
Miles
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
And no caffeine.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
And no heroin.
Tyler
Hey, let's kill heroin.
Ryan
Let's just.
Tyler
Let's just.
Jared
Oh, you get the munchies on heroin.
Tyler
Just the most counterintuitive thing. How. How are you?
Ryan
Wow.
Jared
It looks like you've been saving a lot of lives donating plasma lately, I see. Good on you.
Miles
Oh, no, trust me. There's a point you reach. You can't donate plasma, fatness wise.
Ryan
Really can't find the vein.
Miles
Well, there's that. There's also, like, a blood pressure situation, I think.
Jared
Yeah. I was making too much money there. They just made something up and said, I can't come back.
Miles
No, they were like, you literally have so many legal drugs in you right now that we just can't even use it. It's so tainted.
Ryan
It's like at a casino where they kick out a player for playing too well.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
Too much money.
Miles
You're.
Jared
You've gotta get out of here. You're banned from this.
Miles
Okay. You have so much blood flow that you're in and out of here in 15 minutes, where it normally takes everyone an hour, and we can't have that. Well, and it's setting a precedent for the other people.
Jared
Yeah, I was at the 670ml, too. So I was just under the weight. It was like 670 and like. Oh, dude, I was doing 880.
Miles
880.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
670.
Jared
Yeah. Because I was on the threshold. The threshold is like 180. I was right below it.
Tyler
Yeah, I. I would. In. During wrestling season, I was the. What was it, 7, 670? And then. Yeah, out of wrestling season, I was 880.
Jared
Yep, yep.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
I mean, so in reality, I was saving more lives.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jared
So that's true. That is very true.
Miles
Why? Do you ever hear any success stories with the Pl? Like, I'd love to know. I'd like to see some testimonials of the people that I helped save.
Tyler
They're not saving anyone. They're cloning us, building their armies.
Miles
I don't know what to do with that.
Tyler
Whatever you want. Do with it what you will.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
Should we take a break? We have now our first ever beer. Draft beer.
Ryan
Draft.
Jared
Draft beer. We're gonna draft beer.
Ryan
I didn't put that together.
Miles
You didn't? I thought that was the whole thing.
Tyler
Me too.
Jared
We're gonna drought beer.
Miles
I thought that was the whole bit. Is that beer is on draft.
Ryan
I didn't.
Miles
So we're gonna do a beer draft.
Ryan
My apologies.
Miles
Okay, well, an accidental fun joke by Jared.
Ryan
Yeah, those are the best jokes.
Miles
So the rules of the draft are is you get to pick a beer, and then we've.
Jared
What, becomes part of the team.
Tyler
I think we'll let the patience.
Ryan
Yeah, I'll do a poll on Patreon.
Miles
Okay. Yeah, there we go. Patrons get to pull. Who's got the best. Well, that might. If I'm pandering to the.
Ryan
All right, we'll do a Spotify poll too. How's that?
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
I'm gonna. I'm gonna draft my own personal preference, and I'm not gonna let pandering affect mine.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
So that being said, how many rounds? My first. My first pick will be any beer that I can have with a podcast listener.
Jared
Holy.
Tyler
Oh, my.
Miles
And then I'll just.
Tyler
I'll.
Miles
I'll. I'll just jump. I'll just get mine out of the way. The second beer I'd like to draft is a beer with any patron.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
The third beer I love having is anyone we work with on brand deals, you know, and. Yeah, I mean, that's it.
Tyler
Family and friends.
Miles
Well, I don't have a lot of family members that are patrons, so they.
Ryan
Got a lot of friends, the patron and family.
Miles
So, yeah, I think that's about it for me. So I got my draft done.
Tyler
All right, who's next?
Miles
Okay, so, yeah, so then I have beer with donkey Dong. That would be another one that I pick. It just started naming Danny back is. What was it? A dairy queef Miles Mistress and Dixie Normous. Those are. I would like to have beers with all those.
Ryan
But find out miles of this.
Miles
That's just my personal thing. Like I said, I wanted to leave pandering out of this.
Jared
More of an old fashioned guy with the mistress.
Miles
Yeah, I guess we watch a lot of Mad Men. All right, so in reality, the first ever. You bet your radio. Beer. Draft.
Tyler
Beer.
Miles
Draft Beer. Beer. Draft beer. So with the first pick in the beer draft, I would like to select a beer in a small town bar out of a bottle. It's got to be out of a bottle. It's that certain type of fancy that just goes down so good.
Ryan
Okay. It's a pretty good one on one. I didn't think of that.
Miles
What's up?
Ryan
That's a pretty good one.
Miles
Yeah. It's like I was thinking first pick of the draft. It's like the one that I would take above all the rest. That would be the one.
Tyler
Okay.
Jared
Yeah, yeah. It's like smoking weed out of a pop can is. No, it doesn't compare to smoking out of a glass bong.
Ryan
We wouldn't know.
Tyler
Yeah, that's what you're saying.
Jared
I mean, I, I would just. You guys can take my college buddies advice. You can just take it, take it as truth.
Miles
They just texted you that, right?
Ryan
Yep.
Jared
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
Just repeating what they just texted.
Jared
Yeah, yeah, Yep.
Miles
So that's the first Ryan pick number.
Jared
Two, I'd say probably say that post AA meeting beer. I mean, after sitting in a circle for an hour, just imagine when that you're just dumping.
Miles
People are dumping their problem.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
Imagine what that crispness tastes like when it hits your lips.
Tyler
I, it, I, I got after my third minor, they're like, hey, we'll give you a less of a fine if you go to an AA meeting. And I had turned 20, I turned 21 since the, the court date to my AA meeting and we went and got beers after and it was great, wasn't it? They were great. Yeah, they were great.
Jared
It was saying there's just something about, you know, there's something about sitting in a circle, wanting to drink, like, you know, out. You're playing beer darts in a circle. You're sitting around a campfire in a circle.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
You're at an AA meeting in a circle.
Tyler
You should have just taken beers in a circle off the board.
Jared
Well, I mean, that's, I think that ties into it.
Miles
Oh, so that's. Yeah. So that's really what he drafted.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah.
Jared
So drinking beers in a circle, I like that.
Ryan
That's a great pick.
Tyler
Yeah, it is.
Jared
Yeah. Actually is a fire pick around a fire pick actually.
Miles
Tyler, what's number three?
Tyler
Number three, My first round pick is Deer Camp beers. They can be cold, they can be warm. They just have to be at Deer Camp.
Miles
Yeah. Like I feel like this first round we just gotta get other than Ryan's AA beer, no circle beers. We gotta get all the basic ones and you have to draft first because they're the best.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah.
Miles
But then.
Tyler
Yeah, the, the roster's made in the later rounds. Like these are obvious off the board. True. Ryan's was Michael Penic's eight overall. That was a surprise.
Jared
But circle beer, imagine what are the other things you can do in a circle.
Ryan
Hey, there we go.
Tyler
Don't be a jerk.
Miles
Seriously?
Jared
Yeah. Deer stand beers are taste.
Miles
Jared, what do you got?
Ryan
First beer. After traveling all day beer.
Miles
A long road trip, post road trip beer.
Ryan
Yeah. Like you're at your destination. That first beer.
Miles
Does that count as a hotel beer? Because I had that on my list but if it's taken off the board, it's taken off the board. Yeah. Actually had a hotel beer with my brother in law this weekend and I got back to Roma and I said. And that was the best.
Ryan
Yep.
Miles
Because it's like when you're at a hotel bar, you're like, you're just like wearing your tennis shoes and sweatpants and a sweatshirt and you just, you know you're never going to see anyone in the bar again. You're just chilling, hanging out and blackout quick. It's just the best.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
You only had. You did. You just had one beer.
Miles
No.
Jared
Okay. I was going to say you in that situation, it'd be hard to pull you out of there.
Miles
Yeah. Know. But yeah, hotel beer. Maybe a ground round. Be swinging there when you get some popcorn.
Ryan
Get a steak bomb. I still remember the medie a little bit.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
I was going to say. You work there? I've never been.
Ryan
Get the Texas Tangler salad.
Miles
Texas Tangler.
Ryan
I think that's what it was called.
Jared
Get the old Tennessee Tickler.
Ryan
And my other one would be funeral beer.
Tyler
Nice.
Ryan
Federal beers are extremely.
Jared
What kind of beer?
Miles
They're great, but for a different reason than post road trip beer.
Tyler
Which funeral beer specifically? The one you're drinking or the one you're pouring out for said dead person?
Ryan
One I'm drinking for sure.
Tyler
Okay.
Ryan
Cuz they're not going to be able to taste that.
Tyler
Well, they might. We don't know that's true.
Ryan
But yeah, I think it's better than a wedding beer.
Tyler
You. Jared. That was my pick. Next.
Miles
You still can pick it.
Tyler
But he just. He's already. He preemptively talked. My pick.
Miles
This is the classic analytics guy that doesn't.
Tyler
Yeah.
Miles
Talks down to all the other picks they get. So you're fine.
Ryan
I want Igu Dolla.
Miles
You should take that one off the board, Tyler.
Tyler
I'm going because that was.
Miles
Oh, that was on my list, too.
Tyler
Wedding beers is my pick. Second round, I'm taking wedding beers beers, especially when they're free.
Miles
What about at your own wedding?
Tyler
I had plenty of wedding beers.
Miles
I know, but is it better at your own wedding or at someone else's?
Tyler
No, someone else's. Because at my own wedding, I had to pay for those beers.
Jared
Yeah, you can't even feel how buzzed you are at your own wedding because you're just, like, talking to people and pictures and you got so much going on.
Tyler
Yeah, that's because mostly too. Like, you could lump in the free beer for the wedding beers because everyone's doing at least a keg of free beer right away.
Jared
Yeah.
Ryan
That's so funny, because free beer is just available for anybody to pick right now.
Tyler
Yeah, I kind of felt like that was too low.
Ryan
Cold beers.
Miles
Too low hanging, freezing cold beer. Slushy beer, you know?
Ryan
Okay.
Miles
We could have got.
Tyler
He's doing it again. He's just trying to talk our later pitch.
Ryan
Inside baseball.
Miles
If he calls and wants to trade picks, don't answer.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah.
Jared
You can shit dock the Patriots for picking Tom Brady in the sixth round. But, like, you know, it doesn't mean he's not. He's not better than the top. Top 10.
Ryan
What's your pick? Ride.
Jared
Oh, it's my turn. I'm gonna go with the airport beer.
Miles
Nice.
Jared
This is. Yeah, this is pre destination, obviously.
Ryan
Yeah.
Jared
I think the airport beers, personally, I think it's better than the destination beer because it's like, there's all the anticipation of getting there.
Ryan
What if it's like 5am Though?
Jared
Even better. Normally, especially from here, there's got to be a layover somewhere.
Ryan
Sure.
Jared
Minneapolis. And, you know, hit 9:00am it's like, let's belly up to the old bar and get ourselves a brewski, you know?
Miles
I want. I want you to tell me how many times at an airport you've looked at someone and said, let's belly up to the bar and get a brewski.
Ryan
I think it's the opposite.
Tyler
More than zero.
Jared
Well, the last time was probably your bachelor party, which was what, two years Ago. To this day, I just got the snap memory. Yeah.
Tyler
Oh, so.
Miles
So you have said, let's belly up to the bar and get a brew ski to send it at the airport.
Jared
Well, no, I haven't said that exactly, but I did get cut off in first class after two beers.
Miles
That is true.
Jared
We hadn't even left the Runway yet.
Ryan
Yeah, it wasn't the elevation.
Miles
For my next pick, I'm picking beer with someone you wouldn't expect to have a beer with. Okay.
Jared
Damn it.
Miles
So, like, for example, I did steal it, actually. Yep.
Jared
I spur of the moment.
Miles
Like, I had a drink or a beer with my third grade teacher one time at a bar. We ran into her. Like, that's a great beer.
Tyler
Not Mrs. Luther.
Miles
No, her.
Tyler
Okay.
Miles
Was it great or like, you know what I mean? Like, I remember the first time our strength coach in college. When you view your strength coach, it's like kind of a little bit like your dad in the sense of like, he's always yelling at you, and you're like, try and be on your best behavior around them and be healthy and stuff. And then after I graduated, I had a beer with him and I was like, this is so awesome because I should not be having a beer with you.
Ryan
You feels illegal. Yeah.
Miles
Yeah.
Ryan
A little bit of danger.
Jared
You enjoyed the third grade teacher beer.
Miles
What do you mean?
Jared
I'm just asking you enjoyed the beer. Like, if I ran into my third grade teacher, be like, I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see you there.
Ryan
Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be your third grade teacher.
Jared
Well, I know.
Miles
I mean, it could be your fourth grade teacher.
Jared
I'm just saying.
Miles
Teacher, teacher.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
I, I, I could be your sixth grade.
Jared
It's interesting that, that, like, you enjoy drinking with teacher your past teachers.
Miles
It's happened me one time.
Jared
Oh, well, it sounded like it's.
Miles
You act like I'm getting together.
Jared
No, no, no. It sounded like you got time chat.
Miles
With all my old teachers. Being like, we heading out, teach. Hey, what's up, former teaches? You trying to belly up to the bar and get a Bruski at the airport?
Jared
No, like, it, like, it just got me thinking when you laid that out, like, he had a beer with your third grade teacher, like, it was a great beer. It's like, what do you talk about with your third grade teacher to make it great?
Miles
Yeah, like, hey, were you the ultimate associative regression? I'm like, back third grade talking about dicks and farts, you know, and then she's like, you can't say that. I'm gonna tell your parents. You're like, go ahead.
Jared
Did you address her by first name or. Or Mrs. And then whatever?
Miles
I don't think I said her name because I didn't remember her name.
Ryan
No, because feel the label.
Miles
No, because it was like you don't know what to call them. You know, it's weird if me as like a 25 year old guy says Mrs. Whatever. And then I also think she got divorced so that I didn't want to call her Mrs. I didn't know the Mrs. Miss this.
Ryan
Thing you don't want to her up.
Miles
And I also didn't know what her last name was anymore.
Tyler
And it's weird, it was a nightmare.
Miles
Scenario for the name, but it was a great beer. I don't know why you're get. I don't get why you're trying to make this sound like this is a bad beer to have. No, no, no.
Jared
I know. Just knowing you, I. I just can't see you having a good time drinking a beer with your former.
Miles
I didn't call her and be like, you know, we should catch up. I was at a bar with other people, she shows up. What's going on? You remember third grade? Let's have a drink. We had a drink. And when we went our separate ways. What else do you want from me? Sorry. Someone you wouldn't expect. Like your AA sponsor. Is that better? Ryan?
Jared
I was just. I trying to dig more into the interaction.
Miles
That's.
Jared
That's it.
Ryan
I think I gotta go again. Miles.
Miles
Oh.
Tyler
He'S got Shannon on the brain now. He's rattled. That was her name, by the way.
Miles
No, take about three. A few pretty dog ones.
Tyler
Fourth grade, he's. He's Vikingsing it. He's Herschel Walker ing it right now. He's missing the pick.
Miles
You guys brought more heat than I thought you would. This one. Whatever you guys. A spring 50 degree outdoor BE is what I'm drafting next because I don't know about you guys, but has anything ever bad happened once that scenario happens?
Tyler
Depends on your definition of bad. Because when that happens, someone's getting a dart in the shin. But is it that that bad?
Miles
What's. What's bad about that?
Tyler
That's what I'm saying. It's in the eye of the beholder. It could be bad to someone.
Miles
It's like not life threatening and it's gonna be a great story and you're gonna talk about it forever.
Tyler
If they're up to date on their.
Miles
10 and then you can always say, dude, there's a dart in your leg.
Ryan
It's a laugh every time.
Miles
And what I'll say is, I would. I was drinking beers outside, 50°. I ran into my teeth. No.
Tyler
With Ms. Ms. Mrs. Luther. Let's have a beer.
Miles
I had a outdoor beer, 50 degree weather. And then I met my wife later that day. Only good things can happen.
Ryan
Oh, yeah. There you go.
Miles
So I suppose. Yeah.
Jared
Patty's day.
Tyler
All right, wait, and Was your third grade teacher.
Miles
All right, Ryan, you're up. Let's see what fire you bring to the table.
Jared
This is my. Is this my last pick?
Ryan
No, I got one after this.
Jared
I'm going with the ice fishing beer. An ice house beer.
Tyler
I like it.
Ryan
Not a pop up.
Tyler
Because half the time.
Jared
Oh, well, that's. That'd be considered an ice house.
Ryan
Yeah, gotcha.
Tyler
Because half the time when you're drinking in the fish house, you're not actually fishing. Correct. So that's. It's good to clarify of ice house beer.
Jared
When you start drinking, you're not fishing anymore.
Miles
You're. That's.
Jared
That's what you're doing. And then, I mean, you just eat. When you plop that baby down in the slush, you don't even need a koozie to keep it cold.
Tyler
Hell yeah. So nature's your koozie.
Jared
Yeah. I went ice fishing with my. One of my college professors one time.
Tyler
Was it, did you have fun or. No, I had a blast.
Jared
We had one drink and then we just packed up and left.
Ryan
Well, I better get going.
Jared
Sound that beer in like one minute. I'm like, I don't think the fish are.
Miles
If you guys ran in to your third grade teacher, I'm on your side. And she came up to you was like, what's going on? You remember me? You wouldn't be like, hey, yeah, let's have a beer. This is great.
Jared
No, I, I wouldn't.
Tyler
I'm not against you. This is just fun.
Jared
And I think I'm asking questions because I. I wouldn't have done that myself. So that's why I'm, I'm.
Tyler
Would you have done it with any teacher, or are you just stuck on your third grade?
Jared
Probably a. Probably a call. College professor.
Miles
See, I had. I couldn't tell you the name of any college professor I had. They were just faceless people up there, carbon copies.
Jared
Well, so I, I also worked like, I worked in the department that I was majoring. Like, I got to know. I got to know more on a personal level almost. I Mean, if I would have stayed another year, if I would have stayed for year six, I would have. I would have got to know him so well. We were around for beers.
Miles
Tyler, you're up next.
Tyler
Take it. By my third pick, I'm going with Project Beers. You're working on a project? You're operating power tools.
Miles
My dad can't work on a project unless he's got a beer.
Tyler
Because they're great. I can't believe it fell this far.
Miles
And even when I do a project without one, it's like something is off.
Jared
You know, My equilibrium is not. Not centered right now.
Miles
I can't do the math of what's 3, 8 plus, you know, 5, 16. I just can't do the math unless I have a beer.
Tyler
Well, people wonder why men have so many unfinished projects. Well, it's because we run out of beer.
Miles
Yeah. Or the wife gets mad at you for drinking so much beer you gotta quit.
Tyler
Yep.
Ryan
Right to the base.
Miles
So they can't have it all.
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, you start a project, it's frustrating, it's annoying. Things aren't working great. You crack one beer. Beer. And starts working. And so all of a sudden you think a little more creatively outside of the box, Outside the case, outside the can. Yeah.
Ryan
Mine is a Fourth of July beer.
Tyler
Specifically the fourth. Patriotic of you.
Ryan
Yeah. It's my favorite holiday to drink, so the first Fourth of July beer is the best.
Miles
Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I would have drafted that one, but what's.
Tyler
A better drinking holiday? The 4th or St. Patty's I think.
Miles
St. Patty's there's so much more energy around it, like pretty much being springtime and you're coming out of the winter.
Tyler
I agree on a really nice St. Patty, because sometimes St. Patty's is 15 degrees and shitty out.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
You also don't get days. You don't get work days off for St. Patty's True.
Tyler
Oh, good point.
Jared
Yeah.
Tyler
Usually.
Jared
Yeah. Yeah, I think. What is it on Monday or after? Yeah, it's. It's on a Monday this year.
Ryan
Pub crawl. And my other one is golfing beers. Those are my favorite.
Tyler
Shut up.
Miles
Get the out of here.
Tyler
Jared's golf, like, twice in his whole life.
Ryan
I love. I love beers when I'm golfing, though, those two times.
Tyler
Such a. All right. My final pick is beers. Not with, but from the boss. So, like work parties, work dinners. Like, because I feel like your co workers, you get to see different sides of them. Like, we're a different case because we're A small crew, and we all know each other pretty well. But, like, when I was at the news anytime, like, we were at a dinner or something, and news people started drinking. It was a hoot. It was an absolute blast.
Miles
Yeah, because I would not. I would not say that, because news people seem pretty boring.
Tyler
They're fucking crazy.
Jared
Do they all talk in their news voices to each other?
Tyler
News people are depraved. They're. They're a weird bunch. They. They party pretty hard, despite their, Their public appearance. We were at.
Miles
How does that make you. What, what, you think they party as hard as your college buddies?
Tyler
The photographers, maybe they're, like, the kickers of this.
Jared
I don't think they could sit on a couch for as many hours right there. It's my college buddies.
Tyler
We're at Fort.
Jared
You see that inside joke? I, I was.
Miles
That makes me want to shut the whole podcast down, what you guys just did.
Ryan
Right?
Tyler
I said it because Jared was a news photographer.
Miles
I want to close up shop now.
Jared
It was. That was it. That was it. That insane inside joke you guys did.
Miles
That. That interaction is like. I think it may have just surpassed bird box as, like, the cringiest thing that's ever happened on this podcast.
Tyler
I think that you're projecting that inside joke here.
Miles
Then bird box is right underneath it.
Tyler
That is. That is a lot of projection.
Miles
Yeah. Thank God you said something.
Tyler
You're just deflecting. You have so much heat from the third grade teacher, and now you're channeling.
Miles
I couldn't be more at ease with the third grade teacher pick.
Ryan
Oh, my God. This a bad idea.
Tyler
Way to.
Jared
I think if it would have been an inside joke about something cooler than working at the news.
Tyler
I only said it because Jared was a news photographer calling him out.
Miles
Specifically Jared or Tyler. If anyone else else did what you and Jared just did and you got to witness it, like, you'd feel the same way. And it's just. That's just a fact. It's how life works. And I'm fighting every urge to shut the podcast down after.
Tyler
Well, two more picks and you can.
Miles
No, like, I'm talking about, like, a whole podcast. I'm not talking about this episode company. Yeah, also, I'm totally out of picks. I'm gonna have to wing the last one.
Ryan
Don't do cold beer.
Jared
I bought a pick, too. I, I, I, it didn't say in the, in the breakdown that we needed four picks. Yeah.
Miles
What is this Mount Rushmore appearing or is this a draft?
Ryan
So, so you guys expected three picks?
Tyler
I Kind of expected three.
Jared
Yeah. I mean we've done everything this entire the lifelong of this podcast. Everything has been three.
Tyler
It's true.
Jared
We did like never done full four.
Tyler
We did like 40 episodes in a row that were top three. This top three.
Jared
That's fair. Never had a top four. So this whole time, imagine the panic.
Miles
We'D have been sitting there. He was like, all right, we're all gonna drive eight types of beers.
Tyler
Free beer would have been back on the table.
Jared
I'm actually surprised I recognize that inside joke because I've been think trying to think of my last 15 minutes.
Miles
This has been all filler.
Tyler
Professional filler.
Jared
Stalling for time.
Miles
No one's better at professional guys off track.
Jared
And then I have time to think of my fourth and I have it. It's banked and ready to go.
Miles
I now have a really good one.
Ryan
Right. I bet you have a really good pick for the next really good.
Jared
I actually do. It should have actually been drafted higher.
Ryan
Yeah. So whenever you're ready, you can let us know what it is.
Jared
Oh, it's my turn.
Miles
Yeah. Whenever you're ready.
Jared
My fourth and final pick is a sporting event. Beer.
Tyler
Nice.
Jared
Or a sports game. Sports game. Beer. Sporting event. What have you. Like us. We can stadium beer. I guess you can be outside too. But stadium beers.
Ryan
So I, I think price. I'm out. Because they're usually expensive beers.
Jared
So our destination beers at a hotel.
Miles
Here we go.
Jared
They don't have two dollar beers at hotel bars.
Ryan
I said, said. I said first beer after traveling all day. I could have bought like a 30 rack. I could have bought, you know, a singular beer.
Jared
That's true.
Tyler
Ryan has expensive taste. He also picked airport beers.
Miles
But if you're at it's basically we summed up Ryan's draft. It's just any beer that costs shitloads of money.
Jared
Well, I think it may quite opposite.
Tyler
Of free post AA beer that that fine. They got to end up in aaa.
Jared
Yeah.
Miles
And Ice House. You got by Ice House just to have a beer.
Tyler
Yeah.
Jared
To get to AAA. You might be 10 grand in for doing.
Tyler
Yep.
Ryan
You know, could be very well could.
Jared
Be depending on how hefty. Yeah. I feel like the more you pay for a beer, the better it it should taste better. It does usually taste.
Ryan
You can convince yourself of that.
Jared
I, I, I, I did during the filler.
Miles
That's why I drafted how did this innocent this innocent segment turn into a disaster?
Ryan
We're all kind of mad at each other.
Tyler
One more pick.
Jared
It all started with the AC Put us.
Tyler
Get us in a to go box. One more pick.
Miles
Okay, final pick. The beer. The first beer you have with your fourth grade teacher.
Tyler
What a list.
Jared
Not in fourth grade, but when you're older.
Miles
And the beer you have at, like, Chipotle and those, like, fast casual restaurants.
Tyler
It's only Coronas. Every single one is just Coronas.
Miles
Just, like, who's getting a beer at Chipotle?
Ryan
I always judge people. I do. Just.
Miles
What are we doing?
Tyler
You sucking down a coat with your.
Ryan
Your bowl.
Miles
Middle of the work day?
Jared
Yeah, it's like, there's a poke. There's a pokey place downtown that has. I was like, I'm not.
Miles
Not.
Jared
I'm not having a beer at noon with my poke bowl.
Ryan
You know, there's kids around. Yeah.
Jared
Nothing better than a poke.
Miles
No, those are all fake drafts. My. My last and final pick of this draft is the next beer.
Jared
Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one.
Tyler
I. I did think that free cold in the next would go 1, 2, 3.
Jared
Not even mentioned it, actually.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah, that's a good one.
Miles
That's it. That's it.
Ryan
That's the Tom Brady effect.
Miles
So I. Brock Purdy.
Ryan
Yeah.
Miles
So I don't even remember everything that I picked.
Ryan
I wasn't writing them down.
Miles
Yeah. Bottled beer at a small town bar beer with your third grade teacher only.
Ryan
No other grade.
Miles
No other grade.
Tyler
My third grade teacher is dead.
Miles
Outside beers when it's 50 degrees out and it's spring.
Ryan
And the next one.
Miles
The next one. Ryan.
Jared
I had post AAA meeting beer, airport beer, ice fishing, ice fishing beer, and sporting event beer.
Tyler
My first. First. First I had deer camp beer, then I had wedding beers, then I had project beers. And then, like, work.
Miles
Yeah.
Tyler
Group beers.
Miles
Drinking with degenerate news people beers. Yeah.
Tyler
Should try it sometime.
Ryan
I was first beer after traveling all day. Funeral beer, fourth of July beer, and golfing beer.
Miles
I thought our lists were gonna end up better than that. It was pretty basic when you kind of. To break it down.
Tyler
We're professionals.
Miles
God. We're good at drafts. That went really good.
Ryan
Thirsty.
Miles
I now get why people get so upset about the NFL draft. We had no stakes on this, and we got pissed at each other. We all got mad because, like, someone.
Jared
Would make their pick, and then they just mention the next person's pick, like just in conversation.
Tyler
Jared just colluding the whole time.
Miles
And then you guys had that weird inside joke.
Tyler
You'll never get it.
Miles
Is that it, Jerry? You got fun facts or something?
Ryan
Gladiator battles weren't the only events at the Rome.
Miles
That's another good beer.
Jared
Gladiator beer. Gladiator Stadium.
Miles
Oh, you took mine. Yeah. We could go around the room and see who we're picking up off of free agency after the draft. I'm big enough. Coliseum beers.
Jared
Gotta. Gotta pass physical, though.
Tyler
I take. I'll take pontoon beers.
Ryan
I'll take.
Miles
I was joking. You continue with the fact the.
Ryan
The yard beers. I'll do that one.
Miles
Yeah. Gotta hold it like this.
Jared
Butt beers.
Tyler
Boob loes. I'll take boobloo.
Ryan
I'll take those beers.
Tyler
What an absolute steal in the 8th, Mr. Irrelevant Nose Beers leads the 49ers to the Super Bowl.
Ryan
All right. Gladiator battles weren't the only events at the Rome Coliseum. The day was split into three parts. Mornings featured vain te onis hunting spectacles with exotic animals. Midday was for executions. And only. And only in the early afternoon.
Miles
That's. I'm also picking up execution beers.
Ryan
Absolutely executed that view. And only in the early afternoon to the highly anticipated gladiator.
Miles
We'll go before. Go before they guillotine the. The rapist's head off. Go get another beer, quick.
Tyler
No, we should go. During the executions, one of the gladiators might throw me a sword.
Miles
Well, you can't have it both ways. Either you watch a rapist get his head cut off or you watch the gladiators. You choose the lines for beer long. Someone should figure that out later on in history.
Ryan
And I'm not drinking meat either.
Jared
Yeah, that one thing about the fun fact. Jerry, were we just supposed to know the activity that happens in the morning?
Tyler
Oh, yeah, I've explained it.
Miles
He said it.
Tyler
He explained it after he said the word.
Ryan
So exotic animals are brought into the Coliseum to reenact hunting scenes, often stage as elaborate spectacles. I was like, elephants, lions.
Jared
Okay.
Miles
They just would butcher animals.
Jared
Gotcha.
Miles
In a pen, basically.
Ryan
Yeah.
Tyler
Anyone seen Gladiator 2? Me either.
Miles
That way you went with your friends.
Tyler
No, we went to Captain America.
Jared
Spoiler alert.
Tyler
I didn't spoil.
Miles
Is that. Do you have another fact or that. It.
Ryan
That was it.
Miles
Okay. I like that fact. I didn't know. I thought you're gonna say they have, like, plays and I don't think they.
Ryan
I'm not sure if they did or not.
Tyler
They. They would do one thing.
Ryan
Flood it.
Tyler
Yeah, they'd flood it and do, like, ship battles, kind of.
Jared
That'd be sick.
Tyler
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. But you guys wanted an amphitheater fact, so I picked that one.
Tyler
Yeah, dude, Jared, you're on it.
Miles
But it was an amped fact. Which you came through.
Ryan
Yep. You said you could do apath.
Jared
What's a. What's the. Like, what's the actual definition of an amphitheater?
Ryan
Like, what makes that seats surrounded in a stage.
Jared
Gotcha.
Miles
Yep, gotcha. So is a football stadium an ample theater?
Ryan
I think, technically.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah, I'd count it.
Miles
US Bank Amphitheater is what they're going to call it from now on. All right. Is that it? Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of the you bet Your radio podcast.
Ryan
It was a weird one.
Jared
That was a fun one.
Miles
May your beers be with your third grade teacher and your what else do we talk about? Hey, May you around and find out.
Tyler
Oh, you betcha.
Miles
Yeah.
Jared
Yeah.
E

Jared
Hey, can you do the duck walk for me?
Miles
No, don't Midwest splain me here with this bird box. I before E except after C. Why.
Ryan
Not get your mail on your airline seat?
Tyler
Your mail grills with greats. Jared.
Miles
Let's go. Let's go. Baby.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a boy. Tyler. Man, aren't we having fun, folks? Fellas, don't you hate it when the bev cart girl doesn't give you advice on how to fix your slice? Oh, wrong podcast. Fellas, fellas, don't you hate it? Anyway, people always come up to me and say, tyler, what should I bet on? Or Tyler, should I hit on 20 and blackjack? Or Tyler, do you need some dayquil? And I say, I'm not a gambling man, but you've got to know when to hold. No wind. I forgot the rest. Anyway, here are the nominees for Gamble of the Year. Miles and Ryan bet on Kindred. Kindred is currently 20 to 1 according to Max Press.
Ryan
20 and 1.
Tyler
20 and 1? I thought that was odds.
Miles
No, he gave me no odds. It's crazy town.
Tyler
Jared winning Shake of the Day. That was truly magical. Roulette spins. Wow. That was magical as well. Cooper rush. More than 224 and a half yards. That man knows how to throw a football. And the winner of Gamble of the Year is. Miles and Ryan's bet on Kindred High school basketball.
Miles
Let's go. And let's go. Wow. Wow. This is quite an honor. It just goes to. To prove that you don't win. You. You don't win 100% of the bets you don't make. And I think that that's the lesson today. I think the second lesson is also if anyone, anywhere, anytime, at any moment ever, even thinks about ever, at any time ever giving you the field to one team with no odds, you take that every single time. Also, Ryan's here if you want to say anything.
Jared
Yeah, no, the reason I'm wearing my blue suit today for the Kindred Vikings. Blue. We took down the number one team in the state last weekend, which is a rematch of last year's state championship game. So people get the. People get the label bandwagon because they just fall off of their team once they are, they quit winning. That's not me. And in 2025, we fucking take that state title home. Let's go bikes.
Miles
I'm a little nervous about this year, so this might be a one and type of situation for me. So we're gonna enjoy this tonight, boys. Let's go, guys. If you want more, you betcha.
