Welcome to the party That's a shout out to you Bailey welcome to the party here It is a party when we're doing this at least it feels like it to us Oh yeah, it wasn't a great pop You looked happy over it No, yeah, sometimes they let you down a little bit I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna be a little painful It's been quite the weekend Why Shaun? What'd you do this weekend? Well, um yeah, so it's we're recording on Memorial Day here, so It's been a long weekend. I think for this whole team We uh it has we a little banged up when we showed up a little banged up But I think we're gonna be able to play through I think we're gonna be able to to make this happen What do you think probably should put a little Gatorade in the drink for today?

That would have been yeah, maybe Gator wine was for today like put it this way the conversation like who's gonna drink for today? And I was like maybe we could just skip it. Yeah Don't worry. We didn't skip it. We didn't let you down. We get back in our saddle right again. So again, uh, those of you guys that are coming back again, thanks for coming back and listening for the new people. Uh, my name is Shaun. I'm Mike and I'm Erik. There you go. There you go, Erik. So the seed. Um, yeah. So to the earlier comment, my sister, I, I was with her this weekend and she had made a comment that she likes to crack a beer and listen to our podcast. Um, and she said that she feels like she's part of the party. So that's why I was like, that sounds awesome. So anybody else wondering what you should be doing while you listen, uh, comes highly recommended to pour yourself a cocktail and join the party and join the conversation in which case have a Gatorade or something through each two Oh power through some Gator wine. That's one, you know? Yeah. I don't, I think it'd be good never having that again. Yeah. I'm not a wine guy though. It has a, just has a cool name. It has the coolest name. Yeah. Right. Gator guy. God, gator guy. Speaking of gators, I forgot about that. The gator from happy Gilmore died. Really? Yeah. The one that ate chubs. Yeah. And then it was, it was Adam Sandler made like a huge like rest in peace and like thing to the gator.

So, cause he was such a big part of it. Right. So I'm guessing he wasn't in the new one that's coming out. He bit my hand off. Maybe they'll like do a nod somehow like he's wearing a gator belt or something. That or I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of it there's like an in memoriam for him and Chubbs. Should we start off with the drink? What did you pour for us? Yeah, definitely. So this is I kind of ad-libbed a little bit because we were missing an ingredient but sure um it's blackberry crown and lemonade and then you're supposed to like muddle blackberries or you know use puree or whatever sure so we didn't have that at the tobacco outlet next door so uh shocker shout out to the tobacco outlet you know that doesn't have ice over there either they don't have fresh fruit or ice i wish they would have we show up and he's just muddling blackberries in the parking lot like what's up guys good but uh picking them first it's a whole They did have some cheap blackberry brandy that looked very syrupy so I did a little hold on I love that he's like oh, there's no fresh fruit. Let's just grab more alcohol Well, let's put some more alcohol in it. Cheers Cheers Cheers sir. If everyone's having a good Memorial Day Okay, that's a winner That's really really good. Yeah, I could sit and sip on that. Oh my god. That's delicious another pool drink

I think right the lemonade with the blackberry kidding me that is that's and I said that earlier right when he Put down what he was making. I'm like well, I can't see this being bad Blackberry and lemonade together is I feel like always gonna be and we got to go with something that like it's Good after the weekend. We've had Yeah, we don't need any bad day for the Lord or for that I know that might get Shaun back on the horse I'm not sure that I would that might kick Shaun completely off the horse completely. That might just might put me right on the wagon. That's what it might do actually. How was your weekend?

It was good. It was good. Coop's birthday. Happy birthday, Coop. Right. So he had his birthday Friday and he had some buds over. And then we went to Ashley's parents' house and did a fish fry, which Kevin catches all kinds of fish throughout the year. And then he'll stock up and then he's like, Hey, let's do a fish fry. So we go over there and it's awesome. That's awesome. drive window it's like fresh you know um i need an invite to the fish fry yeah it's like a coveted thing kevin's always like don't tell me about how many kids cooper have those kids gonna eat all the fish yeah no so i bet cooper caught some of those fish though he did yeah he did yeah he helps with kevin a lot so shout out to kevin and that was it was some good stuff but i wanted to tell you because we had a conversation about clone right kids and clone oh yeah and how your son was like I think I want to start getting into collecting designer clone. Well, did he, uh, Cooper is on the same thing. So I just think it's the hot shit right now. Um, or like we talked about sister age, we did it when they were younger too.

He got a sample pack and it's got like 50 different clones in it. And it's just like the sample, like, so maybe three times. Yeah. And so you can try out all the different ones and it's all designer brands. Really? And then it comes with a $15 off coupon. So when you decide which one you want, then you can go buy it and you get $15 off, whatever it is. Where's it from? Cologne. Dillard's. No, she got it. Yeah. She got it. It was through there. And then. Because Logan's talked about some of those sampler packs, but not, not 50. I think it was like three. No, this was a lot. Like it came in this whole kit.

Like it was, you know, and it. I want that. That's what I said. I go, oh, I want to need that. Yeah. Because I don't wear cologne like all the time. But he got it. but I was like, right when I was thinking, I was like, Logan, it's a good way to try. Cause we were talking with Cooper. He's like, yeah. So that way I don't buy like some expensive bottle that just turns out to be, to suck. And I'm like, yeah, good for you. So I'll get your details on it. But anybody else that's dealing with that stuff, that's pretty, I'm sure just based on what I've heard with the kids around right now, I'm sure a lot of parents right now are dealing with the clone thing. So give it a, give it a look. It's, it came out, it was really cool. And like they said, all the designer stuff's on there and they're just the samples that's what they are but you can really try them out i haven't bought cologne in years yeah um just because i i don't wear it very often or whatever and i ran out at one point and just never bought it but the other day i was like oh you know what i kind of like getting dressed up we're gonna go do something yeah i just went and borrowed some of the boys yeah i mean see that that's the one benefit of it because there's one that i really like and kara loves that logan has so when he's not home i'll just sneak a little spritz yeah so he'll be like who moved my clone And I'm like, I don't know.

That's how. It's crazy. Like, even when I go to Kohl's, I was there recently. You know, they've got the big ladies section, makeup and all that. And there's colognes and perfumes in there. And I'll see like nine and 10-year-old girls talking about like the bottle they're going to buy. It's like $150. I'm like, where are you getting this money from? That lemonade stand is killing it. You know? Crushing it. Yeah. So. Time for it, I guess. It's also weird how, I guess it's like TikTok and stuff. We, again, shit we did not have. How these things catch so fast. Right. You know, like you can basically bring up anything that's popular in school and it's popular at every fucking school in America. But then it also probably burns out a lot faster too.

So then, you know, like you'll have those kids that get stuck because next will be the, you know, the thing against cologne. You know what I mean? Then it's like, oh, you're done. Yeah. You know, so it's always got it. You don't like your own.

It's got like animal testing down or something. What is that smell? I have cats. Meow that's what's open never goes to that no kidding that's from Van Wilder fucking love that movie he's like he is trying to get an extension on his like tuition or whatever yeah and he goes in there to this just nasty lady and he's like what is that intoxicating smogering she's like I have cats but then he has to bang her and so like the next thing you see the door opening and she's like all her hair's a wreck and he's like, he has PTSD.

So, that's pretty good. I don't want to act like I came up with that. So we did that and then we're down the lake just for one night. Just, it was a crappy sock to the rain and it was cold down there all weekend. So we had to go down because we had to do something else because we're not going to get down there for a while now with baseball. So we ended up just going down for one night and just kind of a down and back. So how about you? You looked like Snapchat was looking pretty fun. Yeah. Yeah. We, yeah, we went to, uh, well, we went, we went to Nick and Jen's cabin and Harper's and, uh, Erik and Aaron joined. They got, they rented an Airbnb in town. So I wondered that just from the pictures, I figured you must've had another place. Yeah.

And it was pretty close. It wasn't as close as the one I was thinking it was, but it's still, I mean, in the golf cart or an eight, you know, it was a two minute ride. It was like 12 blocks, right yeah by five blocks or something like that even if you're like oh i have to walk to the other side of town they're like okay we'll see in seven minutes you know what i mean so yeah i mean the weather was nice it wasn't as crappy as it sounded like the ozarks was but it was not warm enough to go in the water there was a lot of boats on the water but no one was in the water i guess uh yesterday the people were in the water were they really busy the the beaches were full is what wow god it seemed way too quiet for that to me i was like i mean it's it's the same thing signal at some point you just kind of suck it up and do it.

You know, whatever, you know, I'm here. I'm not going to. Well, and what was that friend of yours that was down there? Chuck? Yeah. He, I think, and now I do remember him saying that, but he said it was a lot of kids in the water. I'm like, yeah, well, they don't give a fuck, you know? They don't feel it either. They're different. All the adults were on the beach drinking. Yeah, exactly. I put my foot in and be like, nope, not happening. You know, should be. Yeah.

Yeah. So, yeah, no, it was a lot of fun, though. The kids had fun and Erik brought a big old side by side and we got to go some, you know, off road and on gravel roads with that. And that made me realize I need to find a way to buy one.

Way, way, way too fun. Maybe we'll start a Patreon, right? And then we'll just put that as like, this is our goal, guys. If you sign up for it, we're really going to use it for a dollar a day. You can make Mike smile in an ATV.

Feed me. well and you know mom has the one that's got the freaking jbl sound system and dude yeah it's got like the hard doors and ac and heat like yeah it looks like it's got the whole deal right a million cup holders like i mean it's more than my car yeah dude that's i've bitched about this before the price of those things it just doesn't make sense when to me when you think about it because you think the construction of those is much easier and cheaper than a vehicle but maybe not i don't know I don't know, but it also has, you know, a winch system and, you know, crazy shocks and, you know, cause it is for offer.

You just keep raising the price till these people stop buying it. And then you go, Oh, there it is. Well, they haven't hit it yet. I think that's kind of what it is. But they're so popular. You see them, Kevin, Ashley's dad has one. Yeah. And his is bad. You know, his is, it's open, you know, it's more of the two seater, you know, but yeah, it's, you also don't realize how big they are until you're like in it or next to it. But the one you're in was big. I mean that was like four it holds four people doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, I could get five plus the back like truck bed has a little truck, but yeah Yeah, yours is that's one of the real big ones. Yeah, like if like you know people are scrunched in there sure Yeah, sure so yeah, cuz he pulled up with it and I'm like oh, that's not what I was thinking at all I'm like we're all getting in the nice load up Yeah, roll out So yeah, that was fun. We played you know a lot of bags a lot of played a lot of games with the kids got a very funny 10 second video of Erik's kids. It was, we were playing this like forbidden words where it's basically all those games. You're trying to make your partner say the word, but there's all these words you can't say, you know? And yeah, his, his kids cracked me up quite a bit. Should I say what they said? I think Nathan was wondering if you were going to post it. So well, I can trust me. I've already thought I'm like, I think I'm going to throw it on a dude.

I was laughing so hard so we're playing the game and Well, oh it was fraternity and so it's you know Nathan's in college And so Nathan I believe he was and he was telling this to Jack his younger brother who's 17 and He's like I'm in one of these he goes. I don't know a gay orgy Jack was like so intense cuz like you could tell he's just very into the game and trying to get it right and we all just die laughing It's literally the only 10 seconds I chose to record of us playing all those games That's awesome And I'm so glad I got it And you just hit gold with it, that's awesome Yeah Damn You hit gold every now and then It was, yeah, it was absolutely hilarious That's fun though, it looks like fun when you guys have the kids playing and doing stuff that makes it Yeah Kind of our conversation with that back pocket, er, back porch type stuff You know, you guys are hanging out with your kids, it's fun when you're around doing that stuff Well, that's the thing, and I mean some kids, you know, you could tell the kids who have been going up there every year since they were little And so they just love, you know, biking around town and going and making friends and stuff like that. And then there's other kids who don't do it very often. So they're like, I'm kind of bored.

What do I do? And the thing I would say to anyone is like, it's like camping. You're going to be bored at home too, but I'd rather be bored in nature or like, you know, on the water or out in a new place. Well, you just got to get creative and it's just going to be years to do, you know, like you have the power to decide how fun it's going to be. I mean, and really, and I think it's sometimes for that stuff, it's just like, where do you start? You know? And then once they get started on the right foot of doing something then away they go and then you don't see them so yeah yeah that's like we were when we were playing bags and stuff i'm like oh i forgot we have a bag set here and all sorts of stuff so it was yeah it was a lot of fun we smoked some pork on saturday but we did it last minute i was kind of like instead of grilling out two nights in a row i'll just get a couple pork butts and we'll smoke them i know i knew nick has like a bullet smoker there but then he was like i've never really used it for smoking i was like oh well we'll figure this out as we go it worked we didn't have enough time we threw them on at like 9 a.m and i'm like well you know these can't go 16 hours so we're gonna run these pretty hot but it worked out great well i told you about mine a few weeks ago right oh i had to finish my ribs in the oven because did you tell me how my fucking what happened i don't know it like stopped working and i was my pellets like all blew up i don't know what happened you know was there moisture in there and i don't know it must have been because that sucks i'm worried that i'm worried that my heating elements out now because then it like it just wouldn't come up to temperature you know i mean so yours is a green mountain right yeah the heating element is super easy to change in them but if the augers like if it got water in it that sucks yeah so i don't think it's clogged though i think i can get and get things through i don't know i just haven't messed with again but it

always happens when you're cooking i'm like yeah so i did them in the oven there it's pretty common pretty good heating element and those to go out yeah i've already replaced one in mine have you really it's just i don't know it's weird to me how some of them last forever i've had my mini one the davy crockett or whatever for five six years now never had a single issue yeah well with that um but then like the bigger one which maybe that makes sense it's pumping out way more usage i don't know i just love that they they're like i mean anything basically they'll send a message and they'll send you the part yeah yeah it's amazing for that i just haven't messed with it yet so it hasn't, it's been more on me about having time to do it with, but yeah.

Yeah. So I'm sure they still turned out delicious. They did. They actually, yeah. I mean, still ribs. Right? Still good, right? So I was like, my daughter was like, is it going to be pulled pork, like shredded? And I was like, no, we're just going to cut it into slices. And she looked like so bummed out. I'm like, it's still pork. And I was like, yes, I'm shredding it. I'm not going to make it into a loin, you know? Break her heart. Yeah, I know. She loves pulled pork, which is great because it's easy and fun to smoke. And cheap. You can't get it wrong. I've never screwed up pulled pork. No, you'd have to try really hard.

Worst you can do is dry it out a little bit. Overcook it, yeah. Or undercook it. Or it gets done in like record time. That's what always happens to me. It's either like done three hours earlier than I want it to be done, or I'm like, we're sitting around, I'm like, come on, there's fucking people. It's safety. Yeah. Even if you dry it out or something like that, you can like put some apple juice in it. And revive it pretty quick. That is weird though. I did have one once. i don't know what happened i did it like i do all of them it wasn't smaller than anything else i've done and it just cooked like twice as fast yeah and i'm sitting here like what the fuck was it unless i don't know maybe the temperature control was wrong or something it was cooking hotter i don't know but so i just three in the morning and i had to pull it i'm like uh yeah i just started cutting like the fat you know i mean like doing the scoring it and so now it gets done a lot faster than you because i never used to before i just do that and you know and so then the stall would be a lot longer while I was getting through that. But I've noticed since I've been scoring the fat, then it gets done half the amount of time. Problem is sometimes it's still playing for my old time.

You know what I mean? Then it's like, shit, this is already done. But whatever. Yeah. I think that probably helps the fat render faster. I am weird. Most people don't trim theirs at all. But when there's a giant fat cap, I have to take some of it off. Because when you're shredding it, there's just so much goo. The fatty parts. I don't like that. So I'll purposely pull off some of that on per you know i mean when you're shredding it i'll kind of take off i pull that off i'm shredding it yeah and then and then i kind of pick through it to put it back in a little you know i mean so yeah there's nothing worse than someone getting a sandwich it's just all the fats you know i mean but a little bit in there right or like a giant flat chunk of bark you know it's like some people like that too and i'm like i'm good give me the juice i usually eat those while i'm pulling it right yeah that's true those are the testers you know the smoker tax my little snack chips that's funny yep so yeah it was a good weekend uh tired though like you said it hurt in a little bit today i think all three of us if we would have been like we're gonna just take this one off we would have been like okay fine but we can't do that to our fans we can't do that to you guys so we're gonna play through we're a little banged up today but we're gonna play through and blackberry lemonade's revital it is helping for sure i really do think though you know grape lemonade or lemonade jesus christ gatorade would have been great in that yeah lemonade gatorade and the black blackberry crown right probably even do like lemon lime gatorade like oh yeah oh instead of lemonade yeah there we go say i'm making mental notes for the pool this summer yeah you know what what we need to do speaking of which our pool opened today the one we go to like a neighborhood

one where we have a membership and it opened today but it was a little chilly i wasn't going in today to have your membership card in the in the building oh so we we got accepted again i figured we scared everybody off last year and they're like fuck those guys so that was a bad idea one and done yeah well that's good to know i haven't looked at the weather but my daughter this weekend was saying like next week there's a day where it's like 92 next weekend next weekend supposed to be the 80s supposed to be beautiful next weekend okay yeah like next weekend's gonna be because i heard the next couple days are gonna get kind of cold really really for yeah maybe a little chilly but then for what i saw it looks like next weekend's gonna be gonna be fucking fantastic.

The Ozarks to this fucking sucks. I was like, are we going to talk about this on here? I had this idea. I was telling Mike about we should do like opening day You did Well no I don think you talk about opening day but you talked about how we should make a list Yeah Go through a list of opening day You did talk about it Well no I don think you talked about opening day but you talked about how we should make a list Yeah Yeah Go through a list of opening day Yeah You know for pools and then just like every day every day I in a different pool Yeah. You already went in your pool. Okay. And then at once, uh, it is heated though, which it is, but we haven't been heating it because it's been getting so cold at night.

Oh, so like I'll heat it like when it's like to bring it up to where it's a little bit more comfortable and then it stays warm for a while but like when it's every day like heating it up and then it cool is it a little bit of safety at night no and so and you can't run that heater all the time it's way too expensive to do it so it was kind of one of those it just wasn't worth it so we haven't really even we haven't had the heater on it it was one day that i was really warm and ashley and i got in in the afternoon for a while and then cooper's been in it like five Cause he doesn't care. Yeah. But also like he'd get done, you know, with baseball, he kept, you know, done with practice and he's catching.

So he, he's hot, you know? And so like, he's like, I just want to dive in. I'm like, go for it. Yeah. It's his cold plunge. It really is. But like when you're sitting in that gear for fucking three games in a row, like he's like, just, Oh yeah. Cool him down. It works out. So I would be in that thing all the time. Yeah. Like a fish. Yeah. You are. I love it. Yeah. It is nice. It's nice. it's just, yeah. Once it gets, once it gets going up here, temperature gets going probably by this week and next, next week. And I'm sure we'll be in it in between. Yeah. Sweet. Baseball. I'm already ready. Like I always saw the picture day. I'm like, I'm ready to get in the pool. Yeah. But you know, on a warm day, I'm going to see me and I can't do, I can't do that freezing cold shit. Like I tried doing that cold plunge thing and I do still want to get over the hump and, but I lasted like 30 seconds and I'm like, I'm out.

Well, this comes a time. I know you guys get your pool, but at the same time when all of And we're like, Hey, we got eliminated from the tournament pretty early. We're going to be home. Who wants to, who wants to come over to the pool? We'll be home in 30 minutes. Yeah. We'll be home, grab some stuff, grab some beer coming out. You know what I mean? So, okay. Well I will be anticipating those texts where I'm like, I hope Cooper does great kind of, it's one of those things, right? It's like, if you're going to get knocked, just get knocked right away. You know, otherwise like, you know, I mean, we could just, we could just go there and get the beers on ice and make sure the pool's ready for him. If they do get, We're here for you, Shaun.

Whatever you need. You don't need to be there. I'll be happy to let myself in and take care of it for you. Make sure it's ready for you. I got all your pool towels folded into like swans and shit. As long as it's used, I don't give a shit. You know what I mean? Really, to be honest with you, I don't care. Like, use it. Because it's otherwise. That really is true. I hate when I see people have things and they just don't use them. Right. Well, I mean, it's their stuff. It's whatever. But I just, I don't understand it. If I'm getting it. Like, Erik got his hot tub. He's in that fucker a lot. I drive by one like over by my house and I swear to God, I've never seen anybody using it.

And I'm like, no, Oh, Oh, yeah. And it's like a really nice setup. They got a TV out there and like, Oh man, all this. And I'm like, there's never anybody there. Nobody uses it. That's weird. Do you have a TV at yours? No, I'm going down down below there. Yeah. Cause that would be awesome. And the, my neighbor has one and he has put Steve down there and I can always hear him Sunday night football. And I'm like, fuck he's, I know he's sitting in that hot tub. And I just hear, you know, I'm like, God, that sounds awesome. That's a boss setup. Right. But aren't you only supposed to be in a hot tub, like medically for like 30 minutes?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm not supposed to at all. I got high blood pressure. They tell you not to go in those things. So there's a lot of things we're not supposed to. Well, that's true. Hey, not supposed to drink as much as we do either. But, uh, you know, what are you going to do? Puss out? I get, I'm, I've heard that from multiple people. And I'm like, almost every time I've been in a hot tub a little late at night with some people you're in there for like two hours. Yeah. You know, and I'm like, I don't know. It makes me laugh too. Like what things that we hear? And then we're like, Oh, I'm going to follow that rule.

That's where it goes in and out. So you're like, well, I don't know. I heard those hot tubs are bad for you, but Hey, give me another beer. Will you like those cigars? Would you know? That would be, it'd be wonderful. Yeah. I really need these organic green beans. Cause it's so good for me. I'm going to eat 30 peck of bush light. These organic green beans on top of my pizza, you know, if you eat that while in the hot tub, they counteract each other. So you're still, you can't have the good without the bad. Things for girl math. That's guy math. Okay. So if I eat this thing, that's good for me. I can eat the rest of the sister shit and it'll balance out.

Right. And we're going to go. I do do that a lot where I'm like, man, I crushed that salad yesterday. I like I can have a pizza and you're like, that's not the same thing at all. And also that salad you had wasn't healthy. Well, we've already discussed that salad. Yeah. Real men and genius. We're good to go. Yeah. Yeah. That's a salad. A nine pound salad with a pound of ranch. That's how you, that's how you do it. Yeah. Someone did say, uh, my buddy Tyler messaged me. I kind of forgot we had talked about comedians on one of them and like our favorites. And I totally forget about this guy cause he's been dead for a long time, but how it stood the test of time.

He said, Mitch Hedberg. Oh yeah. I was like, God, man, I totally forget about that guy. sometimes there was there were multiple like that was one of the names i was just thinking like so mccarlin there's so many like good ones that i just didn't it didn't come to my head while we were talking yeah because you haven't heard them in a long time i think we should revisit that and then maybe do a little research before you know i mean where we actually think about it for a week and come you know because same one after i listed that i was like god i could name off like 100 more than it yeah you know just like in the moment if you go into the 80s 70s and 80s like there's so many. I mean, between comedians, people that were on SNL that were just fucking hilarious, you know, fart all that.

The hilarious part is that episode wasn't even supposed to be about comedians. No, it was supposed to be about movies. Yeah, we should have just named that episode like, this is why we are bad at this.

Stay on task. Fuck you. Good luck. It's not going to happen. It's just a suggestion. It's not a... So I saw a thing recently about this chick. And I'm sure this was a viral thing that blew up and I'm late to it cause I'm old, but it was a girl asking her husband or whatever. Like if, if you, if someone gave you a billion dollars, would you punch me in the face? And I saw some of the women being like, are you serious? You would do that. And I'm like, if you didn't want me to do that, I'm going to question your loyalty. Like a billion dollars. I'd let you run me over with a car or fucking hit me with a bowling ball. The one guy that I saw, he's like, I would hit you with a two by four in front of your mother.

Like I would lay you out. It's like for a billion dollars for a billion dollars. Yes. Yeah. I will choke slam you in church. I mean, I just, I know Ashley and she would, she'd flatten me and I would be mad if she didn't, you know what I mean? And that's my point. Exactly. Yeah. Like people forget billion with a B. Like how much different than a million that is. It's like Diddy money. Oh boy. I think how much baby I haven't heard about that recently. I don't know if there's been any like Oh, like I told you, TikTok's keeping me in the loop, man. Yeah, it sounds like it's pretty bad. All right, hit us with it, Shaun. How's it going?

From my analysis, he's screwed. By my account, he's fucked. Yeah. I just, I don't understand. I don't even maybe this makes me sound stupid. I don't even know what the fuck racketeering is. Like, I always thought that was like in like a tax evasion type stuff. Maybe it is, but that's the big thing. They're getting them on. I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I can look up the actual definition, but cause that's how they got like Al Capone and everyone. It's always, it's always tax shit. Cause it's like at a certain point when you get enough money, you aren't doing something right. stuff happened in other states essentially it's it's having an illegal it's an illegal enterprise you've built a business on things that are illegal to do and it's multifaceted so let's say which trafficking people is illegal yes right and like so like things like uh a scheme like like trying to scam people like a pond scheme yeah but you have multiple people involved that could be considered racketeering like there's that's essentially what it says it's an awfully big word for today ponzi's oh no racketeering we're gonna get into that stuff here should we start a word of the day a set of illegal activities aimed at commercial profit that may be disguised as legitimate business deals okay so yeah like breaking bad it's like they had a car wash but it was just for laundering money like or just the mafia or yeah exactly yeah right i think the reason that you hear about it all the time is those are the things that are easier to prove than to

be like you know you're relying on a witness for yeah something that involves a person right but they can say like we have proof because here's the receipts and here's the yeah right that makes sense look at the end of the day did he be yeah he'd be in trouble yeah which you know what again you deserve this for what you did to biggie so off yes i hold a grudge oh dude that was i i'm digging that that would you hit me for a billion dollars that was pretty good I forgot about that one there was the other one I saw we've I don't I laughed so hard at the way she said it there's this guy dropping his probably wife off at her fucking like 20 year class reunion and he's like all right honey go have fun she's like I will thanks honey some of these guys fingered me and she closes the door and the guy's like, Oh, okay.

Like, first of all, what a boss, like coming up with that line on the spot. Right. And then like the guy's just like, I'll just accept this cause it's all I can do now. She's not that person anymore. You know? Yeah. Now, now I might go to a classroom.

So wouldn't they be, wouldn't they be so much better if you had like, you know it had your, uh, Oh God, like your roster roster on your name. God, your steps.

Oh, there's just tally marks on your back. Mine would be like over a hundred, but yours is all we're going to say the best personality. Yeah.

You're more of the guy I'd like to marry. Yeah. Really? Oh yeah. So you're just a big old nerd, Huh? Okay. Nothing wrong with that. I would, I said something about that. There's a lot wrong with it when you're in high school. Well, yeah, that's, that's the other thing though. When we were in high school being a nerd, you know, got your ass kicked the guy you made fun of and stuff. And that's the polar opposite now. Yeah. Shit. Sometimes for a little bit there, it even shifted. Everyone's like jocks or losers. I'm like, what? I'm like, that has never happened ever. I'm sure it really affected your DPI.

Dicks put in a dude. I was staring. I'm like, I don't know what I had to come up with a stat. So if you're listening, ladies, we'd love to know what your DPI is. No, I'm kidding. Please don't. Please don't tell us that. And if you do email me, say you wanted anonymous because I don't want to say your name.

Do we have an email? We're still cool, right? At gmail.com. Yes, I do have one. Okay. This is from Ben Smith. And at first I was like, who the fuck is that? But then I instantly remember he's awesome. So he said, my name is Ben. I work with Karen. I've met Mike a few times at third base. He's awesome. Every time we talk, it's like, I don't want to stop talking to the guy. But he said, just wanted to say I'm loving the show. And I have a suggestion. Some podcasts have names for their fans, listeners. I propose yours be called WSCR plural pronounced whiskers or what? Weisskers. I don't know. So he's basically taking the acronym and he's like, That's what the, and he said like facial hair on the middle-aged men, or maybe even some women, no judgment.

So he said, thanks for the consideration and laugh. So shut up, Ben. He's the man. I like it. Yeah. So yeah. Like the 92 percenters and all that stuff that you hear, like on the other, like, yeah. Kelsey's podcast and that stuff. Yeah. So the whiskers, the whiskers, I don't mind it. I like cats. What are you guys saying? First one's been thrown on the table. We're nicknames here. Unless you got something better. That's what all of you will be. For today, it's whiskers. Shout out to Ben Smith though. With the made up name. I love it. Like, it sounds like you're on put on spot. I don't. And that's something I wouldn't have thought of is like, yeah, you do usually get, you know, if there's fans of something, they come up with a name like the Swifties and which were basically as big as Taylor Swift. So we should probably come up with this. Yeah.

It'd be nice if they started listening. The Swifties? Yeah. Spread that through. Are you sure about that? How do we, how do we get that going? I bet it would lead to you probably be able to get your side by side. Yeah, probably that I would be able to get it pretty quick. My kids would love me too. I mean, not many people don't like Taylor Swift. Right. Like I, I'm not a Swifty. Like my kids kind of are, but like, uh, she's good at what she does. I would say I respect the, Oh, she crushes. Yeah. Also it's the craziest thing to think about is I saw a thing the other day where, and maybe I have the year wrong, but back when she was just starting and was kind of a no name, she actually played in Cedar Rapids once.

And it was like less than 10 years ago, I think. Yeah. So to go from that to this is mind blowing. Wow. Like you forget how people can hit that wave and, you know, really write it perfect. Right. You know, so follow the podcast. We'll see where we're at in 10 years. I feel like we're on the same. Oh, absolutely. And Taylor, since I know you're listening, hit me up. I need that side by side. Shout out girl. So yeah. Okay. Don't you love those? Like we just need one of those stories like that people love to post on TikTok or whatever. And it's like, they just show up with the side by side. Cause they heard it through the great Brian, somebody like mentioned them.

And then the celebrity just like, yeah, let's manifest that. I would hate for someone to show up with a free side by side. I was in a local place recently and a girl I went to high school with was working there and we were talking and it was mother's day. And she said something about how like, yeah, her kids probably won't even see her today on Mother's Day. You could tell she was joking. And then she says that, and then one of them shows up five minutes later. And then five minutes later, another one shows up of her kids. And she's like, there's something about this place. I just, you say things and they end up happening.

It's crazy. I'm like, I would hate to win the Powerball. Like, it didn't happen. Did you buy a Powerball ticket though? No. Come on. In my defense, I told Kara like every day for a week. I'm like, I need that Powerball ticket. I never did it. So I guess I shot myself in the foot. Well, can't win if you don't play. Come on. I know. The odds. I mean, whatever. Don't even get me started. I'm saying the odds. Well, here's the thing. Like it isn't a solid investment. That's not what I'm saying, but Hey, you know, I know that two bucks at it. I just feel like, and this isn't like in life in general, but winning things. I'm so unlucky. You know, you hear people, you go to the casino and they're like, yeah, I want a grand. I'm like, damn. Or a friend of ours recently, Zach won $500 on a scratch off. It's like the most I've ever won on a scratch off or pull tab is $2. And then like, even those bar, you're due for the big one. Then I keep telling myself that and I just keep losing money, Shaun. So I don't know, like, do I just keep trying it? So those bar slot games, you know, I'll even try one of those. You might win five of your dollars back and that's it.

I remember the first time I was in Vegas, uh, right when we got into the hotel, I put, you know, five bucks in the slot machine. Bing. You know, I'd win like 50 bucks or something. I'd be like done. Well, I was like, it was my first, I'm like, this is awesome. I'm like, I'm going to be the best. I didn't fucking win another set the whole fucking weekend, but I was like watching them like, this is going to be it, man. I'm going to be one of those people here. Like your pet house here. I come, they're going to have to come over and make me sign. Yeah. I'm going to sign stuff. And then nothing, nothing. And that's why I just stuck to poker.

because at least I felt like I had a little bit of control over it, even if I still lost my ass. I still get crushed by people that are way better than us. Well, yeah, there's a lot of them. Oh, I just thought about this. You said when you were in Vegas, I forgot you and Ashley were on like a viral video. Yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. Just clicked when you. So Erik, remember those videos may be like someone going down an escalator and they'd like, I don't know, make a fart sound. Oh, yeah. And they'd record the people's reactions around them. They were on one of those. Yeah. Really? Yeah. We were there.

Yeah. Yeah. We were in Vegas and we were coming down one of the escalators outside. You know what I mean? And all of a sudden this guy comes by, he's like, Oh, you know, you can hear him. He's like, Oh, it's a bad one. I forget what he said. You know what I mean? And I like make this face like, Oh shit. You know what I mean? And actually just starts laughing. And then we're all start laughing. Then I realized what's going on and I'd seen his, I've seen those videos before. So then we were coming down. Like, I was like, I go after you, there's a camera on here somewhere. And I like see it. And I like pointed at, you don't see it in the out of the video, but, um, but yeah, if you were to saw it all the way through, like I'd recognize the guy then. And then I saw where they had the camera set up when he went down it and, but it was hilarious. I mean, yeah, he's doing like all these other people on the escalator and yeah, we're Ashley and I right there. Some of those are, I don't care if it makes me a child. They're so funny. Oh yeah. Like when the guy, you know, I know fart jokes are always funny no matter your age, but there's this guy it's maybe it was the one that did it to you guys. I can't remember. He always has a backwards hat on. He's kind of a bigger guy. Is that the guy? His are the best stretching. And he's like, Oh, I lost that flap jacket. Just like runs on people. Yeah. That's like what he did, like running by us and then get stuck at the stair, you know, like, like you could get through anybody else. And it was pretty funny. So some of those prank shows, I saw one where a guy would go into a dressing room and they would somehow, I can't remember what it was, but they would sneak lipstick onto the collar of it. And then he tried on come out to his wife and she'd see it. And then there was a trap

door and a woman would come out after he came out and she'd come out of the same dressing room and the wives were like slapping their husbands and some of the guys like, I don't know what has happened. I've seen those two when they're going up the escalator and the other girl like grabs his, you know what I mean? They turn around and stuff. That's the, that's the one I was going to mention. I was, I was thinking you get, you were going to say that was what you got. It's like some guy just like rubbed your arm. Yeah. And you see some Some people like some girl do it. You see Ashley punch me. Yeah.

The funniest how these people don't like, it makes them so mad. I've seen so many girls like try and run down to the girl, but they're running down the escalator. It's like, you're not going anywhere. It's pretty good. But Hey man, you went viral. That's cool. I didn't. We were part of it. You were part of it. That guy owes you. I bet he's going to pay up real quick. How does that happen? I mean, I'm pretty sure it was us that sold that video, right? I mean, it wasn't his. Look at someone who saw it. It was definitely you guys. Yeah. The rest of it was garbage. Yeah. Yeah. Cause Ashley's even had coworkers and all of a sudden go, Hey, were you and Shaun in Vegas recently?

And this was like six months afterwards. I think somebody, I think it was a girl that Ashley worked with. Okay. Cause I, I never asked them. You guys sent it to me, but I never saw it before that. Oh yeah. Cause then I was like sharing it. Everybody like, check it out. Yeah. I'm famous. I'm famous. Does it still exist? I'm sure it's out there. So yeah, yeah. Let's see if I can find it. Okay. So maybe we need to come up with one of those. I don't, or, or like, you know, I'm trying to think what I could do. I could grace someone's hand, but they'd be like, ew dude, get away from me.

We don need to both just go get our little leprechaun Did you kick him He was going the other way So yeah I don know Viral videos man They just they a thing sticking on you So I had somebody ask a question. Um, who are actors or actresses that you absolutely, that people absolutely love their movies, but they drive you nuts. Like you don't like to watch them. Jerry Seinfeld. Sorry. I can't stand that guy. Really? I don't think he's funny. I don't like the show. I, and the people who love Seinfeld are like, you just don't know. I'm like, I don't care if it's, I can't stand the guy. I've never once even smiled at something he just said. I can't, I cannot fathom how he has been so rich and he seems like a pompous prick in real life too.

Yeah. But he kind of leans into it. That's the only part that I'm okay with it. Like he's just kind of like, yeah, I don't give a shit. That's what I am. You know what I mean? Like kind of, I will say I saw his show, the comedians in cars getting coffee. Yeah. I love that show because of the guests, like they make me laugh, but I, that guy can suck it. I think he's pretty funny, but yeah, I mean, it wasn't, I wasn't a huge in the Seinfeld stuff, but I still think they're pretty good. But my guy's Ben Stiller, you can't stand him. I just, there's something very annoying about him. Well, it's very, I get embarrassed for people. So his whole humor is all about, you know what I mean? Like meet the Fockers and stuff like that. Like I is like, that's trainful for me to watch those movies. Cause I'm just like constantly embarrassed for the person, but he's had great movies. Like it's, there's no doubt, you know what I mean? Like, and I've seen a ton of them, but I just, I just really struggled.

Damn it. That's going to be in my head. That's more of that is humor than it. You know what I mean? Like, cause I, he seems like a, you know what I mean? You say that and I can think of 10 10 different instances of him where he was doing something. I was so cringy. I couldn't stand it. Yeah. Like all like the meat parents meet the Fockers. Like all those, I hate it. He was freaking out. Yeah. The doctor spazzing it. Yeah. And I'm like, this is not funny. And you're just an idiot. Well, I don't know. I, I just, yeah, but clearly he's doing fine. He does. Yeah. Or like, I mean, I think he's like great in dodge ball and some of that stuff, but it's just, I just struggle with, well, Zoolander didn't tell him. I mean, I never even finished the movie. It was so terrible. There's only one. And some people love it.

Like something like that. It wasn't mine. There was one funny part and that's where they're like spraying gas on each other and like dancing in it, like a, but like not realizing. And then they blow up. That was kind of funny. But other than that, that no, you will fare all more on that one than, yeah. I don't know. Erik, you got anybody like that? You have any, any, um, I generally like can appreciate most comedians. Like even if, even if I'm not a huge fan or like like seinfeld i'm not crazy about him but i don't like hate it to where i like don't ever want to you know you're not like me right um so like i don't find wanda sykes very funny oh i don't either like i don't really like she can have moments but like in general yeah i've tried no and it's like no well and her voice is annoying as shit like there's also things with that like i can't stand just the way some people sound i got kind of like super stuff though you yeah i just never see that there's moments but yeah like in general i just i don't find her that funny so but i still wouldn't say like i add and i'm like no i'm not watching her show because it's her right like i'll still watch it i'll give it a chance yeah i don't know it's kind of i'm thinking of comedians like i never found amy schumer funny like she's falling off for me so i never i just never got it i liked it you know i liked her too and i thought she was so hot in her one special really yeah maybe i didn't i don't even know if i saw really her special no i did yeah because she

was really big for a few years for yeah yeah yeah she was like the hot shit she was in everything but i don't know speaking of i'm so off topic but one more i just thought of from back in the day that is probably easily in my top five was patrice o'neill oh well yeah fucking hilarious there's a segment where he's on Fox news and they're talking about the, you know, why a joke, what, what you should say and what offends you and whatever. And there's some female, like a feminist reporters, I don't know on there. And she's like, no, you're talking about donkey punching and stuff like that. Like, that's not funny. He's like, funny is subjective. It's not funny to you. And he's like, you could make a joke about sugar. And he's like, I'm diabetic.

I'm offended. He's like, you can't do that. You know, he's like, you don't understand funny. and then she's trying to she she was trying to explain what a donkey punch was and she was saying it wrong she's like you're having sex with a woman and you like punch in the back of the head he's like that's not how you do a donkey punch he is hilarious oh that's what well i mean as we're spinning on many topics here but the you were talking about the baby videos oh my fucking god they're my favorite like you love those the the last week has just been me watching i mean people are probably annoyed with how many i'm sharing my stories and stuff but yeah the ai turning people into babies and dude like the scene from friday with debo yeah they did it and it's like they fucking ai nails it they look just like little baby characters it's hilarious with them have you have you seen them yeah i saw one like friends it's same thing and all of a sudden it's like an instant me i'm going how can we do that with our podcast oh my god please come on i mean maybe i'll just put a picture of us in chat gpt and be like you know but does chat gpt do video i've only ever asked it for pictures i've never tried yeah i don't know i'm not techie enough for this stuff i'm teaching myself as i go we're learning i mean i've most of those pictures i've posted have been made by chat gpt sure which it crushes some of them right layla saw one and it was the one with clint and she goes oh you had tj on the podcast and i go no she goes that's tj and i was like that's sean and she's like oh i could see that now but the more i looked i was like oh it does look like tj kind of it's like a perfect mix of you two so i was like it's it's obviously uh not

perfect right but but those the the baby ones are hilarious with that so yeah i mean there's all kinds of the yeah the the theophan ones recently are my absolute because you know he's a little rednecky so it's like always a baby with a mold it's just like fucking ridiculous i just want to see more. I'm like, keep doing them. I love these. The one of him talking about when you pet a dog and it doesn't leave. It just lets you pet it. He's like, God, I love that. Makes you want to kick a fat kid at Kmart.

Rest in peace Kmart. That's right. Isn't that weird? It is. Also, a random thing I thought about the other day. We used to have some, I guarantee you know this because your parents live by it. Sun Foods. Sun Mart. Oh, that was SunFood. No, SunMart. Yeah. I worked there for years. Did you really? Oh, yeah. Isn't that where CVS is now? Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. SunMart. That was my first job. Until Hy-Vee took over everything. Yeah. Yeah. We were always like the stepchild. Yeah. For sure. I would say it's kind of like Fairway is now, but it's like Fairway is solid. They're just, they just don't open a million locations like Hy-Vee does. Sure. I don't know.

I guess they do have quite a few in town. I don't know why I'm talking about this. This, and my brain is we're all over the place here so anyways we're we're we're originally if you would share anybody that you that movies that you actors or whoever that are super popular have popular movies but for you you're just like no way drives me nuts i'd be curious for some people to yeah email us in and what they're thinking with that stuff but and jerry seinwald's not even i mean i guess yeah he is an actor but i'm like i think they all do a little bit of both yeah that's true because I'm like, I know there's more than that.

Most people's, let's be honest, this cat, this question pisses me off because I guarantee 99% of people are going Nicolas Cage and you all can suck it because he's the man. I don't care what anyone says. I like Nicolas Cage. I'm on your team for that. You know who I think is overrated is The Rock. He's such a bad actor. I don't think he's, but like his movies are like huge, but I, that is not my, like, again, he looks like a cool guy. He seems like a cool, just his movies. I'm just not here for them. They're not, I don't know. I'm trying to think of one movie where I'm like, that was great because he was in it.

I can't think of one. I mean, he didn't do the Vin Diesel thing for a long time where he was just making like those, you know, family friendly kind of comedy, like the Tooth Fairy. I mean, that was Vin Diesel, but like stuff like that. Then he got more action and then like Black Adam. I know you're not like super big into comic book movies, but that is by far one of the biggest pieces of shit. I mean, I couldn't even finish it. It was awful. Yeah. Oh my God. Erik's looking at me like, I liked Black Adam. Is that what you're going to say? I thought it was okay. You like The Rock? I didn't, I didn't, I know it's not good, but I didn't hate it.

It's okay. It's over the top. Boys, it's okay. We can have different opinions about something. No, we can't. Erik hates me and I don't like it. I like that DC actually like tried to do something there. They tried to step up and I do respect that, you know, but yeah, I hated that movie. And like Dr. Fate and shit like that. Yeah. It was cool. Yeah. But I'm a Marvel person way before DC. So same. Yeah. I don't know. I can't think of anything. Was, wait, was he in the, the jungle book? Jumanji. Jumanji. Yeah. Okay. That was actually kind of funny. I remember taking the kids to that. And he's good in that, him and Kevin Hart.

Kevin Hart. They're funny together. They're funny together. And I was, I thought they're, I think they're funny in their interviews and stuff like that. When they do it, I just, I know you're like, just do that. Yeah. Just do that part of it. Yeah. That's so. The rock is a good one. there's so many people who are just terrible actors like now i will say someone who should be like the rock i think is john cena i think he's fucking hilarious dude have you seen peacemaker no watch it yeah it's a comic book but it's but it's not it's raunchy as fuck like you you don't need to know anything it's so good yeah he has a pet but it's a fucking bald eagle like he's like America as fuck basically is his character.

So yeah, he's a pet bald eagle. And oh my God, it's so good. Have you seen the latest like promo clip that they released for the new season? No. It's basically him leaking to the people, the producers that HBO is changing. It's not going to be HBO Max or it's not going to be Max anymore. They're going back to HBO Max. Oh, I heard about that. And like, but it's him explaining it to them that they were just in a meeting. It's so it's like him dressed as peacemaker telling all these people on the set, like, yeah, yeah, they're changing the name. We're going back. We're going back to it. Like he's calling the shots.

There is. You'd love it. So have you seen the Ricky Stenicky? Have you seen that? That's what I really want to see. And I haven't watched it. So we watched, I watched Farts. It's, it's decent, but there's a part when he's talking about the boss about being like, oh yeah, you're, oh, you're jerking off to somebody. But it's, it's when he's speaking and it's, you'll have to watch it. Cause you'll, you'll be all about it. You'll be all about that, that part of it. And so you can remind me, I just remember watching that and being like, that was fucking hilarious. But yeah, I remember the promos and stuff for it going like, that's a really dumb premise.

And then I finished the trailer. I was like, okay, I forget what he calls the nickname for him doing it. Like, oh yeah, you're, you're all over the place. Oh, that's a double or something. Is it like skiing? Yeah. I, I, I, I remember what it was, but he's like, Our girlfriends, I still say that to them when they get in the backseat and they're in the middle. But like, let's say you and I, and each I'm like, are you ready to go skiing? They're like, I don't understand. And I do the motion. They're like, oh my God. Yes, I'm a child. Oh, they know. Don't act all proper now. I know you. I know where you've been.

We're from the streets. Oh, speaking of from the streets, Erik's kid taught me some new terminology these days that the kids are using. What you got? Can I? Okay. Okay. So Jack said when he was there, he's like, I'm looking for them country hos. Apparently you don't call them hoes, you call them hos. But then the kids go, well, but then you're supposed to even dumb it down more and combine the words. So it'd be cause I'm like, well, that's gross. So we're not looking for the cause, right? Cause that's like cousin. So yeah, it's like where the hos at. All right. And that's one I had never heard before.

I feel like I've just kind of heard it. I mean, like I'm just even worse enunciation. That's true. I'm sure I've accidentally said that before, but yeah, I'd never heard him. Huh? Is that hos? So thanks Jack. Thanks for the dropping. So let me go here. Yeah. So when you hear Coop saying it or something, just be like, I'm going to thump you. Yeah, exactly. I know what you'll know. You'll know what's going on. That's the, that other teacher. Oh, he says that that reads like what her students say to her. Yeah. Oh, I haven't seen that. So like, I, I like the guy, there's a guy that does, he, he like in class will start like throwing out the stuff that they say.

Yeah. Wait, what? Like he'll, he'll, he'll like, like user terminology back to him. He'll say, yeah, he'll say the terminology and like, they just like cringe and see. Yeah. That was my favorite. Or he'll do like a tutorial. He'll be like, okay, so this is what I learned from my fifth graders this week. Yeah. And it's a tutorial for us. so like like earlier how we said oh by the time it happens it'll already be out of style or whatever that's the other thing i'll learn this stuff i'll like my daughter might teach me something and two weeks later i'll say it she's like dad that's embarrassing no one said it anymore that's that's why they just told me two weeks ago that's why they're teaching you yeah because the other one was uh i don't know i don't want to say it because i already feel so stupid when i say these words because i feel like i'm using them wrong and i don't but that's what i just lean into it and say on purpose wrong. And then it just really gets them going. So I do love embarrassing my kids.

It's one of my favorite things. All right. This is what I was looking for. I had another text for a topic. My cousin Ben sent me about a best movie show, like duos, Maverick and goose. He had Shaggy and Scooby. I still had Han Solo and Chewy.

Martin and Riggs. Yeah. Murtaugh or Murtaugh and Riggs and a doc in Marty. Yeah. Back to the future. Murtaugh Riggs is like probably my favorite. Dude, I was obsessed with Leak Leppin. That was good. Especially even the first one. I mean, you watch it back now and you realize how old it was. I mean, Mel Gibson was young in that. Wasn't Nick Nolte? No. Who's that crazy guy? That was another 48-hour Nick Nolte in and I know exactly. You know who I'm talking about. And then his son was an actor too. His son was in like Star Trek Troopers. Oh, Gary Busey. Gary Busey. That's it. I couldn't think of his name.

Yeah, he was the bad guy in the first one. That was when he wasn't totally batshit crazy. I think he lost his mind like five years later. I mean, he's just fucking funny. He's crazy. Like, no, but just the shit he says and he starts talking about stuff. But I can't. Here's the thing. I can't tell if he's serious or if he's fucking with people. Well, did you watch the show? Did you watch Entourage? Maybe. Did you watch Entourage? Remember the show Entourage? He would be on there a few times. Yeah, I forgot about that. You're going to stop playing a show. So that was just, I wish it would have lasted longer.

It's just a, you know, you watch it for what it was. It was just kind of entertaining, kind of fun. Like, you know, people get like too hard on it or whatever. And it's like, it's just a fun show. It's just a fun show. And then I watched the movie too. Like, so I, I watched, I watched the movie a few, I guess it's been probably a year ago now, but I randomly came across it. It was one of those, we signed up for HBO max and all of a sudden I'm like, Oh, I take a look at it. Yeah. So it was good. What was the, the, the, the agent. I'm blanking on his name. Ari. No, I know. But his actor's name. Piven.

Jeremy Piven. What happened to him? He was huge. And then I don't, has he been in anything since then? I don't know what happened. So, and I, that popped up because I saw a clip the other day of him doing something, like an interview, but I don't know what happened to him. He was like one of the biggest ones from that show. Yeah. Well, he was one of the guys that blew up the most. Cause he was like the best. I mean, what a great character. Oh God. He played it so good. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know what else he's been in. I guess, you know, like PCU was awesome, but that was when he was still bald.

Yeah. So he was like, oh, yeah. So he's doing, he does do some standup. He really started in a film in 2023. Yeah. He's got a interesting short story film that is... So he's living off that entourage. Well, but like slowed down is what it seems. Yeah. Well, like I think he's extremely artsy. Like his parents were filmmakers also, like a small... Oh, really? Like he's been an actor since a kid. In the business. Yeah, or been involved in it since he was like a kid. So I think he was doing like some live shit. The thing that's coming up, it's called The Performance, and he plays a Jewish American tap dancer who is offered a chance to perform for Hitler.

Oh, Jesus. It's like a, you know, independent kind of film. Yeah, that is artsy. Oh, yeah. That's one of my favorite things, though. Every time I hear, you know, you'll hear about an actor or an actress or whoever that you haven't heard about in years or you hear about them and they're blowing up. And so you go to their Wikipedia and you're like, oh, they have relatives. And you're like, and then you're like, what the fuck? their mom was like the most famous actress. And you had no idea they were related like that. Some rabbit hole. Dude, I do it almost every day. It happens. And I love doing it.

Ben Stiller's parents were in Seinfeld. Yep. Yeah, exactly. Did you know, like I was going to say when you said you didn't like him, but, um, have you watched the, the, uh, shit, what's the new Apple TV show? That's like gone crazy. Severance. He's the, he's the one that's like run. He's the director. Really? I haven't seen Ben Stiller. directing it oh i didn't know that yeah see now see that's the kind of thing where you're like oh they fell off and they're like no they're no they're just doing whatever they're doing different shit yeah no they're they're yeah they're very talented they're like i don't have to spend hours getting in makeup and all that shit and i'm you know and i'm running the show so look at me with my podcast and our followers and i'm talking shit about that seller dude you're way bigger right i am huge okay like jesus christ yeah and his wife this is a blast in the past was on hey dude growing up and she was from the brady bunch oh that's right yeah the movie the remake yeah i totally forgot about that but yeah like do you ever watch law and order svu i mean i'm sure at some point i have yeah you have because it's been on for so long like i was on it for a while and off going it's like 60 seasons or some it was the only one of those kind of shows i ever watched but i probably watched five seasons right like i'm clearly not obsessed with that i haven't watched it in forever but that the lady on there mariska hardagay her mom it is like one of the most famous i can't remember her name now um but she was like the star of the 70s and stuff and then the dad was

famous too. And then she died in a car wreck. Mariska Jane Mansfield. Jane Mansfield. Oh, okay. That's her mom. Wow. Okay. And she died in a car wreck and Mariska was in the car. She's the only one that survived. Wow. Isn't that nuts? Megan, that's the one that always stands out to me. Exciting. No. Yeah. But that's 60 seasons with her in season 26, 26. That still a lot That a lot I mean syndication money You good Yeah Ever Yeah It still over and over and over Yeah It still on every channel Cause what what is it to get syndicated Is it 10 seasons No it used to be I think not 10. Cause there's not that many of that. I mean, there's really not that many shows that get to 10 on air. You know, like I bet it's four.

I'm going to say five or maybe six. I'm going to say five. Cause also whatever number he's going to say, I feel so bad for the guys are on big shows. A series needs a minimum of 88 to 100 episodes. Oh, so it's episodes. Okay. Often, you know, four seasons would be 22 episodes. So yeah, maybe 10. I don't know. Well, it just depends. Just depends on how many episodes they do. Yeah, because when you like think of Friends, for example, like that was 10 seasons, but they also had a shitload of episodes every season. They probably got syndicated by like season six. 100 is the kind of general. Is the mark?

mark but it does say like some have been syndicated with slightly less yeah sure think of how many shows and probably right before that and they're huge shows they they'd make so much money in syndication and they're just like but i feel like a lot of those now are they do get into syndication though that are you know i mean maybe i'm just thinking like for you know last night we watched the while we were at the cabin we watched uh the season finale of the last of us because my kids and i are obsessed with that and that's only going to be three seasons and so that will never make it so yeah I don't know I mean I think they're good on money I think so too it's syndication isn't really like what it used well what the fuck do I know I wonder cuz like Nick at night like is that still a thing remember how we liked all the old shows would come on but when we were kids it was like I love Lucy and shit now the old shows that play is like friends and do you have one of those that like just Mork and Mindy did you ever see that I don't know I don't know why I know it was Robin Williams yeah I don't know if I ever actually saw an episode I never saw it either, but I know what it is.

Nanu, Nanu. That was like a thing that he would say. They were like aliens or something or from another planet. I mean, I don't know why. It just always happened to be on I think when I went to bed or something. I would stay up and watch Mork and Mindy. That is a blast from the past. So weird. That was a good one. So I did it under here to see what it would sound like. I feel like it sounded better than the first one. I'm on my first beer. Leave me alone, everyone. All right. So, yeah. What about you, Erik? Did you have anything from the weekend that stuck out or that you want to talk about? Oh, you know, well, something I was going to say earlier is, like, I think it's underrated to just fucking sit in a chair or a hammock and have a beer.

And, like, that's a vacation to me. I don't need to do. Like, I like having things to do, too. but yeah but well okay so for like our example from this weekend is like we just sat around the fire had some beers bullshitted and you there was a shitty weather weekend so we just hung it on the porch yeah we hung it on hung out on the deck yeah which is literally on the water so it's like one of the best places to do that but like i'm okay with that like nick you and nick were like you and nick were talking about it and like hey we're gonna we're gonna smoke pork butt and so we have to sit here and watch it because we have to keep adding wood i'm like oh damn that sounds terrible smell it smell like smoke that sounds awful yeah maybe play some bags while we're doing it that's exactly what we did it's like that's why smoking goes so well yeah well and that's drinking beer hanging around and then by the time you're ready for some food that's when the food's done and it's peace out. Yep. And that's, that's why the guys who use, you know, offsets and that kind of thing always make fun of people who use pellet smokers. I'm like, look, and I go, here's the thing.

I understand and love the craft of what you guys do. And it is, yeah, it's way more work, but also I like my time and I have kids and like, I can't sometimes stand around a smoker for 12 straight hours. Right. So fuck off. There's a place for both. I legitimately, I want both. I want to have both because like most of the time i think i would use the pellet smoker because of the convenience yes and it gives me more opportunities to cook but i also enjoy what we did and it's like i have i have a reason that i have to stay here well and it worked out well for this weekend you guys are all together how they you know how they weekend just kind of yeah so oh my god so we went to prairie du chien because it's right there or the douche as i call it and we went so we went to starks i i think they should lean into it i think they should make sure it's like come get crazy at the douche you know like but whatever so but we went to a awesome fucking vintage antique shop had just the most random stuff i love old stuff all the stuff that you remember seeing in your house growing up you know like no one has a has an ashtray anymore because no one smokes right but there's something about like seeing like a crystal ashtray just kind of sitting out or like the old oil lamps. And I don't know if there's something about that to me. Well, anyway, they had a, this is not something that was in my house growing up.

They had a massive Buffalo Wild Wings sign. Like it would have been used on the outside of the building. Like it's the logo and everything. It was only $75. It was huge. How close is that to coming home? I was trying to talk Kara into putting it above the bed. She was not on board. And the people who own the shop were dying. They were like, he's got to have it. You got to let him do it. Yeah. Jack was going to spend his own money on it. I was just like, We don't have room for this. So I what I don't know if it would have fit I mean it would have been a bitch to figure out but I'm like I'll hold it out the window We're getting this home strap it to the top One of those signs where it's like that should be four or five hundred dollars I mean it's huge and the guy was like yeah, we closed a couple of them down. There's a couple Buffalo all wings bar stools in the back if you want to buy them and I'm like no I just want that sign but they had a whole ass benches that had buffalo Yeah, like engraved in it and stuff like no, I just want that above my bed You know what they they had that you didn't mention They had some old-school playboy in the 50s and 60s. Yes. Hey just stuck together. So, you know, it's good I was like, I mean they were sick as shit They were big book. Yeah, I don't remember being that and I'm like, yep, these are legit. They got bush But it's weird seeing that shit and just going like it unlocks nostalgia because you're like everyone found their dad Or a buddy bought one you get into the woods look what I got yeah, isn't that crazy?

There's almost everyone has a story of sneaking into the woods. Why is it? Why do you go exactly? Yeah, why didn't you just go around the corner or something? You know like I don't know It is I remember seeing my first playboy though. Yeah when oh Who was on the cover? No, I'm kidding. There's probably no way. I know I would know I went straight to the centerfold, baby You didn't remember names no no that's another thing growing up like I never saw this one but Vanna White was in Playboy I didn't fucking know that used to be a thing like it was like no one knocked you for doing that I guess now they wouldn't either because everyone has a fucking OnlyFans or whatever but now is Playboy even around?

No Cindy Crawford was in like showing her titties I'm pretty sure really I'm almost positive Pamela Anderson for sure. Well, of course I Had so I had that one for a while like I I had One thinking it was gonna be worth money or something like it might be Kathy Ireland forgot about her I was obsessed with her She was on it. I think so. Oh, she just a swimsuit issue Sports Illustrated cover that comes to the issue. I don't know I think maybe just the topic got me thinking about her, but I don't know We're probably just making it up like saying names that we're saying what we wish happened But then I remember like like being in like college or even like high school It was like super popular like all the girls always had like That would tan they'd always put the Playboy Bunny sticker on them. I mean, but like five years ago a thing popped up on my Facebook and it said and I shared it and literally People I went to school with were like fuck you. I'm not it said if you had a Playboy bunny sticker as a tan line You're probably in jail now Or you've been to jail or yeah, you've seen some shit Yeah, and like multiple girls were like I have not been to jail. Thank you very much. All right But I also know some that have so it's fine. It's kind of hot. Yeah, well, yeah, God was it Tanning beds just yeah, God the whole thing my mom used to own a hair salon and shit. Oh really that people like yeah, so People would come in and use like it was the only tanning bed in town

But she had like a roll of those stickers. So like everybody in my town. Did you sit there and like Did you sign them in and out like that ladies I just sat there and like played my Game Boy Show me your sticker on the way I'll take care of that for you. Oh, that's good. That's funny. I was Did you ever have you ever tan? Did you ever do it? I didn't tell this in the podcast today once you got fried didn't you? So it was, uh, so for people that don't know me, I'm, uh, white as shit and I only go from white to burnt to white. Like that's, there's no way. You never get a color. Like if I'm super fat and I sat on the beach and then I stood up after six hours, I'd literally look like a candy cane for my roles. That's how white I am. So it was like homecoming sophomore year. Maybe I can't remember. And that was the thing. Everyone went tanning and I was like, well, I got, you know, I had, this is when I had hair. I had the frosted tips. Yeah. You had to rock the whole thing. I had to look at pictures of that with the frost. I had frosted tips for like 10 years. Like, so I go and I'm like, I'm going to tan. So I go there, I buy some minutes and the woman looks at me funny right away. That should have been my sign, but I'm young and stupid. And she's like, how many minutes do you want to buy? I was like, well, what's the packages? And she's like, well, like a hundred, I'm like, yeah, I'll buy a hundred minutes. And she's like, why don't, so we do a trial. She goes, why don't you try it? And then like, we'll see how it goes. And I was like all right she goes how long do you want were you hoping to go in for and i was like i don't know 15 minutes she goes no three so she goes you need to do less than that with your with your

complexion whatever i said okay fine 10 she's like way too much and so i was like five she's like you can try five she's like but i'm warning you right now like you might get burned i'm like it's five minutes i'll be fine because i know everything yeah i go in there do it by the way it's terrifying when you get out of it and look in the mirror because i have freckles And they jump to the loaded I was like oh my god, I have cancer or a bird me like I looked like Deadpool after he gets all fucked up Like a testicle with teeth So bad dude, and so I'm terrified, but you don't look burnt So I was like oh, I'm like it is what it is and I walk out and she's mortified like oh we fucked up She goes you're gonna hurt tomorrow She goes I'm putting a note on your account the longest you can go in from now on is once a week for two minutes at a time I never went back. It's like the waste of money for like And I was charred the next day. So you're more of a spray tan guy. I've never done it But I would I should be I should be a little bit better. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not metrosexual enough Now at this age like I'm never gonna get sprayed hand. I'm good. Yeah Well, here's the goal. We got to get him a spray tan fuck. Yeah Jesus Christ.

Someone sent an email like, we'd like to sponsor it if Michael get a spray tan. That would be fantastic. You would look great. Please don't do that because I would do it because that's who I am and I don't want to do it. You'll know what it's like to look golden tan. It would be funny. Golden tan. Might never get you back. I have spots of golden tan. Freckles. By the way, that's another thing. When I was born, or like when I was a kid, my uncles told me that I was covered in freckles because an elephant shit on me when I was born. I told my grandma that and she goes, they're kisses from God. And I'm like, I'm going to be honest.

The elephant shit sounds way more likely. Like that's a lot of kisses. Angel kisses. That's what my aunt always said. You got angel kisses. I'm like, well, that was a busy angel. So you tan like this, but you tan, you can actually get a tan. Yeah. I get tan. You got the, you got the lucky Irish. I did. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, I feel like it was just when I was like, I don't know. I was always in the sun as a kid because grandparents are so beautiful and stuff like that. It's never, huh? I don't know. I got lucky. My dad always, my dad was really tan though. My dad. He was. Yeah. Did you, did you ever get like burned to the point? And again, I, that's why I'm like, maybe I was the only one that got this happening. Cause it might, I'm that fair skinned, but I would get like water blisters. Yeah. I mean, I mean, when I was a kid, I got like this size. I got chart. Like I couldn't move for days. Cause it was like, I was, no, I didn't, I don't think I got blisters, but I remember getting burnt pretty bad as a kid. Just like, yeah, that's why I'm a psycho with my kids. Like putting them like, it's been an hour and they're like, it's only been an hour. I'm like, I don't care now. Granted there, they have darker skin than me because their mom, thank God. But yeah, they can hold out a little bit. They can hold out a little bit longer. They like Logan already. I can tell that he can, he can tan a little bit.

Layla, she's pretty sensitive to the sun, but she even isn't, it's not as bad as mine. I did. And I remember going into any, but, but I remember getting Burton a tanning bed though, too. Really? I just went too long and you were like, fuck it. 20 minutes. Like, yeah, exactly. I'm like, Hey, so shout out to the girl who, uh, like saved my life that day. She's probably 75 now, but shout out grandma. I remember like I did it for 20 minutes or whatever. And I didn't even make it the whole time. Like I was like, I got, I was in pain like that. You were like, I'm going to get out now. It'd be terrible. And it was going to be pretty bad, but whatever. I I don't know.

It was, but I've done a spray tan before too. And how was that? So here's what I know about spray tans. The friends episode where Ross keeps turning the wrong way. He's like, you said two number twos on my back. Like, yeah, I know the one I went to, like this gal like sprayed me. So like my hand. Yeah. Like I did. I just, I was like, they're in my underwear or whatever. And then just kind of get to bend over and like spread your cheeks. No, I wasn't like, it wasn't. You're not worried about that region. Cause it's going to be covered. Yeah. It wasn't. Yeah, it was, it was, but I remember my whole family making fun of me.

We went down to Florida, like spring break and Ashley's like, Oh my God, look at this golden beauty. You know what I mean? That's awesome. So yeah. So they were making fun of you, but you were like, look at me. It doesn't protect you from the sun. So they're like, you need to make sure you're playing sunscreen on. I remember doing it. Like when we go on spring break before, like I tan for like a few weeks before I went down there. So then I wasn't getting like fried the first day. but when you do a spray tan it does not produce that coverage i never would have thought of that a little glow you're like no i've got this yeah but so i know when you first have it done it can like come off yeah right so but then you shower and it sets in and like it stops coming like don't shower for the night i feel like you shower in the morning and you can do lay in bed and like cover your like i slip on towels i remember i slip on a towel yeah again like it wasn't I've done it once I didn't do it again. It definitely wasn't worth it I but I would like to see you with a nice golden tan I can tell you she's good. She's kind of getting to be a professional at it. There you go Doing it herself or just getting inside?

Okay, well, maybe we both do it and then do a podcast. You guys are similarly Complected me and Aaron. Oh for sure. Yeah, we are we are white white weird clouds. Yeah, someone's like you're you don't look that That I can't even spray tan Fuck you It just falls off It's dripping for a week Like oh god My freckles come off to you and be like no What have I done? It like won't stick to the freckles Yeah, it's two different colors That's the thing too like is it gonna be a shade darker in the freckled spots like I'm really gonna look like Some shit. I think we need to see this Oh god, you know what?

you know what? Fuck you. For those that don't know or couldn't see, I turned his middle finger trophy toward him. So felt like that was deserved. We were talking about recently, but like you took Erik took his watch off or someone and was like, I already have a tan line started. Yeah. And someone said to me like, oh, you don't look that and I roll my arm and they're like, oh my God. And I'm like, yeah, I'm so white that you can almost see my veins through my skin. White and then whiter. Yeah. It's not good. Yeah, it's like dumb and dumber, but all right it's all good yeah yeah i totally forgot about that but that again that was the thing then to just do it all the time yeah tanning now they're like skin cancer is a thing and everyone's like bah you know what i mean like my aunt had a tanning bed i remember and she in her house and she was in it all the time i mean there's something we said about beauty right my only skin deep i think is what they said my mom still has the one she had in her shop Really? Does she use it?

Not really. But like people can come over and use it. It'd just be funny if like, you know, she did a long time ago and there was still like 70 year olds in the town that are still coming. Like I still have a punch card. You can't not let me come back.

Erik, are we ready for a dad joke? Yeah, let's do it. Alright, are you ready for this? Yeah, let me get my thinking head on. Okay, go ahead. I went to the aquarium This weekend, but I didn't stay long There's something fishy about that place I'm like it's very hard on the ones where there's not a question. I know because like this could be anything like No, we're on that one last week. You nailed it. I know right back to it. I was waiting for you. I knew it No, no, no trust me. I'm never saying that no now. I'm gonna ruin every joke It's all your fault. Oh, I'll take it, but I think I'm one of two right now, so I'm doing okay There you go.
