I'm cooking. Yeah, the house the house smelled amazing Did white girls and Ugg boots just flock into your house and kick the door in so I was doing that and then right after that

I was cooking bacon for the soup so Apple apple smoked bacon And then garnish with an apple flare, but not just an apple. It's like little shaved pieces. Yeah apples. I'm excited for it. He really does spoil us. Can we jump into it here? Yeah. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. To another one, boys. Happy Monday, everybody out there.

Oh, well, worth the time put into it. And you know what? I might have a second one you know why i don't fucking work tomorrow screw you guys that's right that's right i like it yeah so dude thank you that's yeah that's fucking we really do need to start ranking these it'd be hard now we'd have to go back and like listen to our other episodes but there's been some banger now there's been some shitty ones too yeah which anytime you grab a bottle of hot sauce i'm like well not gonna like this but you know to steal something from our friends at confused breakfast they're always giving ratings on stuff maybe we should go around and rate it then they can give it some kind of an average and keep track of them start like that yeah should we okay and then we could ask our fans you know how they rate it yeah no so if let's okay let's do that can we can we give like point i think we have to you know like 7.8 because they can't be you know they can't all be nines yeah exactly well so it's gonna be i think do you want to do like a five point that's why i was asking like a five middle finger scale oh yeah i like it five golden five fingers that's true. I was thinking more of the count of a drink. Five fingers. Yeah. Yeah. I want it this thing.

I just remember that from Rescue Me. Did you ever watch the show Rescue Me? Oh, I love that show. Yeah. When he comes in, he's like, I'll take an eight finger pour. He's like, eight fingers. And he goes. Dude, that show is so good. So did I ever tell you why my stepdad's bar was called Bob's Best Shot? No. It's still called Bob's Best Shot, but we sold it. His whole deal, how he measured cocktails you know most people when they pour a drink it's two fingers sure yeah like a shot of something is two fingers yeah he always did three so he had the best shot oh i like it i mean i will say the my favorite places are places like that yeah like you know i go in some places i'm like hey can i just have a pour whiskey and you're like like a shot i go whatever a shot is to you but i'm like i'm sipping on it i'm not shooting you know what i mean yeah and i'm not saying chart i'm not trying to be like only charge me for a shot but give me a big drink i'm just Telling them right up front like hey, I'm gonna sip on like I'm not gonna shoot this down. Yeah I'm just throw it in it so so many places will just bring me back literally a shot and like thanks I'll sip out of the shot glass like this doesn't feel weird at all You know what I mean?

But the good place is just no and like give you a two-finger porn call it good so Whoever owns it should be named Bob. They should have legally have to change their name. It feels weird No, they've honored they've done a good job of honoring him. That's good. I'm not lying I could just chug that fucking thing down right You want to do it? That is so good. Don't threaten me. I know, but man, that is so good. We did use double barrels. It might have some booze in it. Yeah, Woodford double oak. Oh, my God. That's so good. I think that might be my other favorite part about you making the drink. It's always good.

Yeah. He doesn't half-ass anything. He whole asses one thing. None of this pop-off vodka, you know? Also, we still get to do our Fat Boy thing where we dive for the apples when we're done. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited for that. Try not to poke our fingers. Hopefully you guys didn't hear me just chomping on my apples. I saw you doing it. That's what reminded me to say it. Yeah, I was tired of getting poked in the nose with the toothpick. At least this will be easier to fish out than the previous ones. Yeah, we'll see. How was your week? Good. Yeah, Fallison here. Ow. What happened? I stabbed myself with a toothpick.

We're not old enough to have drinks with toothpicks in them. Not yet. Weekend was good. Weekend was real good. I went down to, I was down south. I was down at the condo. The boat got winterized and everything. So it was the official, like, kind of put away for the year. Yeah. So, like, Ashley's like, I'm not going. You want me to go all the way down there to not go boating? Yeah, so my neighbor and good buddy Jim has, they have a boat down there, too. Or they have a place down there. So we just rode together and went down there, and he had to get his stuff out. Same thing. So we did some crap around his condo.

And then we went and watched the Iowa game. There's actually like a Hawk bar right on the strip down there. And so we went and watched that and then stuck around and went to a couple other bars and watched Notre Dame game. And yeah, just bar hop kind of on the strip. It was kind of fun. I mean, just because. Yeah. Did you get the half off special? No, no, they weren't doing that. Not on the strip because they'll stay up all year. So yeah, so we kind of bar hopped and watched football and yeah, had fun. plenty to drink and and ubered our way home so it was uh it was it it was a good time but yeah it's just kind of fun at that time of the year uh he him and i did it last year i don't blame like ashley driving you know it's like 10 hours round trip to just go down there and do a few things yeah so it's probably gorgeous though actually it was all the leaves turning everything else and it was beautiful on saturday it was 65 down there yeah so like we sat out we watched the iowa game like on the deck like they had a tv out there and so we sat right out there on the water and there's a few people that were still out there's boats still out really yeah just for people that haven't winterized theirs yet or like a lot of but if you have an outboard you know i mean it's no big deal so a lot of those that were out there and so there's i mean i wasn't busy by any means but you know busier than you'd think especially when you think how cold it is yeah or how cold it was yesterday that is the basic bitch in me though when it comes to fall like you know i'm I'm not like super into seasons and all that stuff, but man,

something about like, most leaves start turning. Get you turned up a little bit. It's a little fucking exciting. You know what I'm saying? These sweatpants go a little tighter than they were a minute ago. It's pretty. And you get your apple cider. Oh, your apple old fashioned out. Mikey, Mikey. Yeah. I just, I can imagine your guys' place, like looking out at the water and you know, all the trees on the sides and stuff, like seeing all the colors changing. Yeah. Gets me a little basic in the pants. Yeah. It was, Well, we'd have been hardly containing you then because it was beautiful.

So, yeah, we did that. Other than that, we didn't do anything Friday. And then by the time we got home last night, nothing. Yeah. So how about you? Not a whole lot. Kids and I chilled and just kind of putzed around. I should say real quick, there's a special birthday today. So happy birthday to our main man, Adam. If you listen to our nerding out podcast about Marvel and everything, that was Adam. And today he turns, I don't know, 55 or some shit. Wait, no, he's not as old as you.

You hear that? That was a twofer. Zing, zing! Look at you! But no, happy birthday, buddy. We love you. So yeah, they had a get-together Saturday. We went over there to celebrate him. It was a good time. Everybody showed up. Good food. Had a couple drinks. Watched the Hawkeyes. goddamn that fucking game right i'm like i really i don't know what it was i had this guy i really thought they were gonna win and it wasn't just because like herb street came out was like i was gonna upset them you know the whole thing that was going around i was just like man like this could be like one of those really dirty grimy games like i could totally see them winning and they they almost did you know you take away a couple mistakes like the fucking stupid ass safety who knows what would have happened but i mean oregon's kicker fucking stepped up man because he was the mvp of that game so yeah it was a good game our long snapper can't hit the jesus broadside of a barn right but they say man those two are bad and then yeah granowski i didn't even see the safety like i turned it on and it had already happened dude it was so fast yeah second third series of the game yeah um and then granowski just had a couple missed like just that silly ones just they were open and he couldn't you know just he's done that a couple times this year either he gets really locked in or those little little moments where it's like boy you really could have used that one yeah you know because there was a few throws he made that were i was shocked i was like holy shit like you know he looked really good there it's just man i don't know what if iowa quarterbacks they're just like it's a flash at a time it's like oh look look how great that was right now it's gone we missed it yeah i don't know so it was still big big deal yeah organs but good team

so it's funny though because so nd1 as we expected and hoped they would they're they still have a shot at like because we're you were so worried about them not getting into the playoff it was in the year but they're it's weird the way things have shaken out because like as long as they went out which they absolutely should do they should knock on wood i mean they're playing they play pittsburgh next weekend and pittsburgh's top 25 now yeah so then when you're looking at their schedule before usc worked their way up to the top 25 now pittsburgh's in the top 25 so then their schedule's gotten but you know like yeah it looks better than it did and then their two losses were by, I think, a total of three points between the two games.

And they lost early, so that helped. But, I don't know, a lot of people are pissed off if you listen to... Really? Yeah. Why? Just because they don't think they should be in it. You know, with two losses. Whatever. There's got to be multiple teams with two losses, so shut up. There is if you look at it. Or, like, some of the people... Like, BYU was in there. It's like, you don't fucking play anybody. You know what I mean? And you got beat, so sorry. You know, so, I don't know. I did watch that game. I mean, they played... They had one good game. Who were they? I watched half of it. BYU played. The week before last, I felt like they got in kind of a good game or something.

I don't know. Yeah, anyway, I don't know. It should be interesting the way it shakes out. Obviously, go ND because I need someone to fucking get there and make us happy. Someone to root for during the playoffs here. No, they're looking pretty good. Yeah. I mean, which honestly, even in their two losses, they look pretty good. Your wife Snapchatted that she was watching the game. Yeah, did you see that? Sure did. I think I got pregnant when I was watching it.

It was old Marcus giving a little sultry look. Yeah, the sultry look of the come here. And NBC did a good job of showing that. Slowing it down. She's like, no way. And so when I got home, I talked to her. I'm like, how many times did you watch that over me before he sent it out to the group? Yeah, I think her staff said something like, you're welcome, ladies. Yeah, this is for you, ladies. And I'm like, ladies? My ovaries are tingling. What are you talking about? Yeah, no, that was good. He's got it going on. He's not a bad looking man. I'll say that. He's got it going on. He's a good dude, so hopefully he sticks at Notre Dame because he's just a really great fit.

It's a really perfect fit for them. I'm rationing this because I don't want it to work. I'm trying to, too, but the last time I was like, I don't give a fuck. I'm just going to drink. Yeah, I'm just going to send it. Oh, that's so good. That was a really good one. Now I get my apples. What about you? I'm going to have to make this for Ashley because she's a big fan of old-fashioned. Old-fashioned. Thank you. Yeah. I had martini in my head. I wish that there was a better and easier alternative to the syrup, but I don't think there is. You could probably do apple cider, but you're going to water it down more.

A lot. Yeah. If you went from eight cups to two, that would, that would, if you didn't do that, it would dilute the hell out of it, I think. Yeah, and you wouldn't get all that kind of like sweet cinnamon. I mean, unless they make like a simple syrup, like an apple simple syrup. I didn't see anything when I looked, but my whole plan was I was following somebody's recipe. So I'll shout out on here because I forgot to do it on the drink making video. But Anders Ericsson is a guy on YouTube. Isn't that a milk company? Anderson. Oh, Anderson Ericsson. I'm like, Shaun, is he fucking with us right now?

That's how I remember it. But his name's Anders. I really thought he was fucking with us. Anders Ericsson, he's on YouTube, and he's got a channel. He's like an at-home bartender who makes YouTube videos about all kinds of cocktails. Well, shout out to that guy because this is fucking, he made a killer. Fucking delicious. That was really good. Everything that he's made that I've tried myself has been really good. Yeah, big fan. well besides uh stinking up your neighborhood with apple how was your weekend so yeah my weekend was generally pretty tame uh trying to remember what we did on friday i feel like there was something on friday oh friday um out of the blue i had a buddy he had uh tickets to rough riders in the suite uh for his company so i went oh damn for a little bit i haven't been to rough riders game in a while i haven't either i've been twice in two weeks now because like we had the youth group go a little over a week ago, and then he messaged me But we had a good time This time I got to have beers so that was better than that yeah it doesn make a little more fun it not a little bit better yeah they so fun to go it hard to watch a hockey game sober come on yeah they not fighting what do i do right yeah it was a good game though uh last the last one i went to they got their ass kicked by madison yeah but this one was against dubuque okay it was a really good game in the last like i don't know 50 seconds or whatever uh dubuque pulled their goalie so like they had six pressing yeah trying to get they were down by one right yeah cedar rapids got him so nice yeah so they won five to three it's always exciting when

they leave the net open you're like oh god well then it's also because once they clear it they're just shooting at that you're like go in yeah yeah they're just fired down there and hoping it gets lucky uh it was kind of cool too because my friend dan um shout out to dan dan's one invited me and he uh he was teaching me some of the rules of hockey because i like i knew that some of the basics but i never knew like why they got called certain things whenever they would go across the line yeah i have a question for you about that because what the fuck i've never understood what acing is yeah so it's essentially you you hit it from the other side without your team getting past that line like you they have to be passed in order to do you have to at least have your like you have offense and defense kind of yeah like the four words that are designated you they have to be past that line so you can't just like chuck it down there without why not though because they just don't want people to clear in the puck down there all the time to where it's like it's just like a they can clear it out that was the other thing i asked like why do they just like sometimes just shoot it down the corners essentially usually when they're doing that they're clearing it to give time to swap out people yeah they're usually just like buying time or they're buying time until the guy that's going to get out of the penalty box in 10 seconds comes out yeah it is such a more intricate sport than i think some people who don't watch it very much think i mean it's like a soccer on fucking steroids because you're also trying to not fall on your ass and you're getting punched in the face and checked into walls constantly and they get cruising though it's pretty sweet when they're fucking flying through and then i love watching

people get blindsided into the nails though it's so fun i'm like they're pads they're fine i remember when they the first year they're there um my neighbor our neighbor had tickets he gets tickets all the stuff whatever supports them and and had seats in the front row and so you're sitting there and you'd put your beer right up on the thing and he's like there's a guy next to me he's like i wouldn't do that yeah you know what's wrong with you you know and then um they all have this signal like this so they'd all help each other out all of a sudden they'd be like beers and you see if i reach up and grab it before all of a sudden yeah you're getting smashed into yourself that's awesome because otherwise you're just wearing the beer so it's like okay yeah i want to sit by the penalty box and taunt the players have you seen those guys on so there's guys on like i don't know tick you know whatever online and they'll do it from center field a lot and they'll yell the people so i'm trying to think of something they said like uh like hey i bet you don't pick up your trash at the park you bum like it's shit that like doesn't really cut that deep but it's hilarious just like random like yeah just rant like weak disses you look like you wear cargo sheets shorts on the weekend or something like that you know like yeah but they were i've always seen them at baseball games and then i saw one recently where they were at a hockey game so they're like right on the other side of this wall and they're just the guy's like trying to not laugh but it's like they're just getting him to fucking die laughing so god that reminds me of we were at a colonel's game one time and katon we're sitting up we're on you know we're out in the bleachers or whatever on the side there and it was the right fielder and katon just starts john just starts messing

with this guy and he fucking makes an air and chris just keeps john and john and he fucking makes another air and i mean everybody's like i mean the whole side is laughing you know what i mean like it's but that guy's fuming you know this guy's got to be freaking out you know whatever and then it wasn't that long ago that we're talking about it and he's like that kid was like probably like 18 years old it was you know what i mean he's like i feel like the worst person you know what I mean? He's like, here, I'm just showing off, you know, cause the crowds are laughing. So then he starts going, he just ruined it. He's like, he's like, I just razzled this guy.

And he's like, he's just a single a minor, you know what I mean? Like, and he's like, I feel so bad. Like, I just fucked with that guy. Like he was like, yeah, actual pro like in the major leagues, you know, like 250 a week or something. You know what I mean? Like it's nothing and he just and chris got so i mean this kid couldn't do anything like every i think there's three balls that were hit there and he tanked them all like bad and everybody was like because he was being hilarious it gives me that secondhand embarrassment if you know where i'm just like oh i feel so bad for that but during the moment you were like that you know because it was the other team you know whatever and it was it was yeah something like that i don't remember what you know what though the crowd yeah i was i was also just going to say advantage this is it's part of the gig well you can't handle it there you definitely can't it really is but it was one of those like filming because it was something like chris like i'll pay you 50 bucks you drop the next one and then he did he's like all right you can owe me you know whatever he was but he was just on it you know and then yeah you get caught up in the moment don't even think about it then when he's like that guy's probably like a year older than me like i mean right he might even be younger than me you know like i don't remember we would have yeah he would have been younger than him because we're drinking.

So we would have been 21 to be drinking at stadium. So, but most of those guys, they're, they're in the, you know, young twenties. They're like, Oh yeah. Like the single, they're the guys like right out of high school that came over. They're not, you know, they're yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're even the, the hockey guys. That's the same. Hockey guys are still in high school for rough riders. Like they're a lot of them. Really? Yeah. Most of them are seniors, juniors and seniors in high school. I didn't know that. I thought like, I mean, I thought they were at least like always college for sure. Oh, wow.

that was like playing on their like practice team at like 16 yeah oh by the way this is the perfect i just thought of this somehow i i left the get together on saturday layla wanted to go home like we went and hung out at home for the rest of the night but obviously people were still over there at the get together for adam and i get a text from karen she's like do you like watching curling and i wrote back i said no comment because i kind of do right uh yeah like why why what like why are you asking me that then i get a text five minutes later i think it's from nathan and it's me nathan him and tj on it all that all of them are together right now i'm not i'm at home saying hey we're joining a curling league there have one they haven't know that yeah and by the way that's the only thing i've heard about it so i don't know if they're fucking with me or not but i hope it's real i mean there's lots of good plans on saturday night that don't make it to sunday exactly right but i did i was like i could use a new addiction like let's start curling so okay so this is something what you just said i want to key in on for a second sweet sweet sweet like no no we'll get back to that but have you have you seen like the ray-ban fucking meta glasses or whatever the video camera in it and stuff yeah i don't want to be like a creeper and record every moment of my life but but i want it for that shit so we can be like like hey play back the tape what did we fucking say on saturday night this is what we're doing you agreed dude

shot think back to when we planned this podcast for the like the first time we ever did it how many times did we agree to do it bro yeah like but we came up with this diabolically good name and we still to this day can't remember what it is because we didn't write it down so because we would never forget it we love the name of it anyway because we like this better but which is we're still cool right at gmail.com just saying uh but yeah i i but you're right i've thought of that too and i don't think they record constantly no they don't do you do you say like a buzzword like meta or you can like the new ones you can like make a motion or something okay but they don't have enough recording capacity to like continuously i was gonna say you wouldn't think so i mean i guess if they're recording to the cloud, but I don't know.

I don't know how that works. I think they're a few hundred. $300, I think. Can you get them in prescription? Because I'm blind. Honestly, we went to $300 just for the frame, so you're going to pay on top. My head was the Bar Olympics. Oh, I thought it was sex.

Surprisingly, no. That's certainly where my mind always goes. Alexa, replay. Replay, replay, replay. you're like in the middle meta clip that oh my god how fast can she punch me clip it clip it clip it all of a sudden it's like would you like us to alert 9-1-1 that you're running are you having a seizure oh shit yeah but no bar olympics would be great too yeah yeah yeah because we do have that coming up we do yeah so we're all signed up for that but that would be interesting to do that would be awesome we need shirts by the way we have to get on that we gotta get on uh yeah i think Kara said she was gonna start working on it maybe well we should text her uh Jody if you're listening we might need your help so yeah we gotta get out we need those because we can't go in there not wrapping it yeah no no no for sure so if anyone's listening they'll be at the bar olympics we'll see you there yeah that's December something i can't remember the date but anyway there were some friends of ours that are maybe making a team yeah like there were some funny names.

Well, it sounds like they just got in there, too. I think there was one spot open and they snatched it today. And then all of a sudden there was an alert like Paralympics is closed. I'm like, you guys are fucking lucky you got in there. Yeah, it works out for me. I'm excited. Ashley's on the other team, so that'll work out. So last year, she was not super impressed when she picked us up. Why, Shaun? I don't understand. She's like, what happened? I'm like, it was the Paralympics. What do you think was going to happen? And we didn't win. Yeah, we didn't do better. What place did we get? Like third.

We got third in the second bracket or the B bracket though, right? I think it was third overall. I thought it was third in the loser's bracket. Maybe we got fourth. Maybe we got second in the loser's bracket and we got fourth that way. I think it was second overall. We're just going to go with that. Yeah. Damn near won the thing. Yeah. This year, if I had blown out my ACL, we would have did it. This year, we need to do a little work on the Flippy Cup because they flip them the weird way. Yeah. The right way. This is for people at home. fuck you Erik. Do you think it's the right way? Dude, here's the thing Shaun, outside of like our group of friends and a group in like a decent amount of people in Cedar Rapids the rest of the state doesn't play it that way.

I have to know. We're right. It's harder. You guys play a bitch move. So Mike and I play drink it, then you put the cup upside down, has to flip all the way over and go upside down again. Opening to opening. Yeah, top and landing back on the top. But Iowa City people always did half flip. They just put the cup down like normal and just flip it on its head. Yeah, you just lift it up. The reasoning that I understand, other than just fucking people have done it that way in college and shit, is when I was tailgating at Hawkeye Games, you do that because you have all different skill sets. Most people can't fucking do that full flip ever.

It would take them an hour. We had 20 people around a table playing. You need to keep it rolling. It does make it go faster. You're right. It simplifies it. It makes it go faster. And tailgating is when I learned that we were weird. Well, that I remember Wade's house. Wade, when we were younger, would always have... He had the big deal. He would have his birthday party. He'd have a whole... It was a giant thing. It was a beer pong tournament. They'd play the national anthem beforehand. I mean, there was trophies. Wade, bring back the birthday. No shit. Wade, come on, man. Wait a minute. Which way did he play it?

That fucking stupid? Well, hold on. If I remember right, when I first went down and like went to his house it wasn't even for birthday but like buddies of his were playing they were playing that way and i was like what the fuck and then we talked about it and i'm pretty sure then it switched to full okay so but yeah so i feel like maybe i should did i ever talk about like mark our party college house that we had like the what we would do with that i mean whatever and it was full a lot like it would be your winner stayed so your team was like i there's times i was on that table for three hours with my team yeah waiting for other people you know and everybody get another team together to try to beat you did you guys play full flip yeah full flip every fucking time like i swear yeah it's like everywhere outside of cedar rapids i think it doesn't do it it's weird well let us know what you guys think if you have played flippy cup and yeah and that but that's one of them and bags we didn't do we did really bad in bags too we should i'm not super good at bags like i can always get it on the board but i like i'm not good i'm gonna get some more practice in this yeah beforehand yeah i'm pretty decent at bags but i don't know why i could not hit shit we did solid at beer pong if i remember right i think we did pretty good at that one we could have done better at that too yeah we did good at darts good at all these games and i was not the hook and ladder is stupid but we did good at that yeah we did already that one in darts what was the other one do darts really well so there's five games right what was it beer pong darts Clippy cup Clippy cup Bags Oh that fucking shuffleboard Oh so there's six

Take it easy. I think we're like a month away. No. I guess that's only four weeks versus three. Close enough. Because it's like the eighth, I think.

I'm just glad we're not wearing onesies again. Because that got... Yeah, that was terrible. You got warm in there. I didn't do that. Oh, that was the first one we ever did. Last year we didn't have anything. Yeah, and we said we were never doing that again. No. So we definitely need... Let's do some shirts. Yeah, we'll get some shirts done. So anyway, I hope to see some of you there. It's a great, great time. It's a fun time. Good little Saturday. day and that's when we really get to feel old boy do we everyone else is in their 20s it's all college kids but there has been a couple of times that we kicked some college kids ass oh quite a few times some of the games i'm like i feel pretty fucking good about that do you remember after it was when we played we made the college kids play our way a flippy cup yeah like how do you guys do this right we're just like we like went up and down twice and it was like the first guy was still trying to get and they were like we can't do that and i was like you can believe in yourself you can do it but you remember the first year um zach was on our team but yeah we fucking kicked everybody's ass oh yeah we were like one and done like the all the way down that one team was so pissed are you saying it's my fault no no are you trying to i actually think i performed better the first year than i did the second year but um that we we ended up like pissing that one team off because we were so good at flippy cup and we had a coin flip for what game we were gonna play and we picked flipping cup and they were so fucking pissed yeah they were like they were like that's not fair because we want to do this one how about we pick just a different i'm like no the rules were whoever won the coin toss why would we not do it yeah also we're here to win yeah right so then we beat the shit out of them again and they were really hot take your old ass off because that one lady

In fairness, she asked like fucking five questions in the email. Like, so I mean, thank you. Yeah. I mean, don't be mad if we didn't finish my weekend either. So this is like a pretty common theme here. Guys. How the fuck? How do we do that?

Every time. It's every time. Dude. Now I understand why people like reach out to us and they're like, you guys are fucking all over the place. And I'm like, yeah. And I was like, we're working on it. And they're like, don't work on it. We love it. Right. Because people who have fucking short attention spans, they think like that anyway. And then they get to go home and be like, you think I'm bad? Listen to these fucking idiots. Yeah. But honestly, the rest of my weekend was essentially making soup and syrup for drinks. So it wasn't too exciting. I'm so glad we came back for that, Erik. I don't know.

Oh, was it a great Sunday, though? It's just funny how we kind of go on these tangents. I'm kind of picturing you in, like, sweatpants, just, like, kicking around the house, like, having the kitchen smelling amazing, getting the stuff ready for this, making soup. You're picturing me in sweatpants, though. Gray ones. Taylor Swift playing in the background. Talking about your Redwood.

Can't help it, man. That's all I can think about. We're Swifties. No, I'm thinking a little comfy stuff, a little giddy up. I like basketball shorts. That's my go-to. Okay. Basketball shorts and a t-shirt. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you do. That's usually how I am.

Here's a hot question. What are you guys sleeping? Boxers. Just boxers? That's it. Nothing. You sleep naked? Always? If I'm at home. If it's somebody else's place, I wear the basketball shirt. I've tried sleeping naked. I can't do it. I don't know why. I totally do it, but the kids are still young enough that they walk into our room every now and then yeah every yeah every morning the kids are in our bed they just know like you got to give me a second to get my shorts on well so like our kids daily before like we're even getting up you know i mean we're up oh like still just like kicking around they're all sophie's always up early at something at school and then cooper same thing so it's like we're always kicking it our morning routine is more spent like them visit us in the bed and then I'm like, all right, I'm getting the shower.

Yeah, yeah. I was going to say, I sleep in boxers and a beater, and I'm like, or just boxers if something happened that night. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. And that's because I get itchy. So anyway, yeah, that was a random question. I'm just like, do you guys have your weighing out? Okay. So Kelly asked all these questions, and we totally bypassed one of them, and we thought about it after the fact of work. Fuck, we didn't even answer it. She said, Kelly asked, is disc golfing still cool? now this is funny because just recently we talked about this at i think it was when we had the egg party i was talking to tj outside and i said something about disco oh i think that's how it got brought up or something and he goes i just got rid of mine like a year ago i go what and angie goes i he has had those in his trunk since you guys played i'm like we haven't played since we were like 18 she goes they have been in the trunk of every which means they move from car to car he keeps them in there td's just waiting for someone to be like hey you guys what just call he goes oh my god i'm so ready like but it made me think about tj tj's always been that guy he has everything in his car like if you needed something it reminds me of you in a way but like there's been times where we're like oh we need i wish we had a band-aid he's like i got you oh i need duct tape i got it i need like fucking needle nose pliers like i have it he just you know ibuprofen like it's like a woman's like a woman's bag yeah like like your grandma's bag that always had yeah I got it.

Yeah. So I was like, that doesn't shock me that you still have. Okay. So disc golf. All right. Let's get through the email here. Sorry. It only took us two weeks. Yeah. Was it ever cool? I don't know. I think so. Yeah. I think. It was pretty big. I never got into it. I never did. Did you ever go at all? I attempted to a couple of times. Okay. I didn't. Like, I think what I needed was somebody to kind of help me. Yeah. The first time. Yeah. And I didn't have that. And now I have plenty of friends that would love to be that person. And I just haven't found the time to do it. Yeah. So, like, I still think it's cool.

And I'm glad that people like doing it. It's a nice way to get outside. Yeah. You know? And it's free. And it's free. It is. Like, actually free. Like, I mean, yeah. I love the fact that there's so many courses around here. And, like, there's some cool-ass ones. Like, especially up, like, Cedar Falls, I saw one. It's awesome. There are some gorgeous ones. i i've just never gotten into it so like to me it's kind of like like skateboarding or um yeah i'm trying to think of other things like that i just never got into it but i always thought it was kind of cool and it's something to do did you play a lot we played a decent amount for a couple years but i was never good like i don't know what it was i just couldn't get like the technique down and i so i just got so pissed off like i was like this isn't fun yeah i remember one time i winked like i you know imagine i have to shoot straight and i like turned but i let go of it way too late and i fucking just flung it right into the side of a car and i was like oh god and they're heavier than like dude it thotted pretty loud i was like we can go to hole two now like let's fucking go but yeah so i remember like the first time i went i didn't even have all the stuff like i think i used a fucking regular frisbee because someone's like you can just use that i'm like whatever yeah and i happen to be with guys that had everything i'm like this sucks yeah you know what i mean and so that's why i totally got turned off of it you know what i mean but um i will say i have spent a lot of time watching fucking videos on youtube when they in those championship and they throw some crazy fucking things away they'll throw that thing around a tree and all of a sudden they carve through the yeah you're like that was fucking awesome yeah

so i and i always thought it was bullshit i'll never my cousin jt was pretty good for back in the day like he would play a lot um but i remember he had a because i'd see guys with bags of like 12 discs i'm like what are you doing yeah they all fly the same way and they're like no they don't i'm like i'm like well not the putter because it's like kind of floppier but then i realized like my cousin jt was like no this one will curve right this one will never curve this one curves left i'm like dude they're the exact same and he threw him and it was like what the fuck just hard right hard left i'm like god damn yeah so there's it's like golf clubs they're different but but it's weird because they all look the same like for the moment and i'm whereas a club you're like okay i can totally see the difference between this and this you know what i mean but yeah but i don't know i like uh sarah that we know uh adam is like a he's like in the hall of fame of disc golf like i think it was reunion someone just made a beer in his honor for that because he got inducted in the hall of fame so yeah dude so i know it's still a big thing i see people doing it all the time and clearly it's big because like you said we they more courses keep popping up so i think it's good it's around and i think it's still cool there you go i'm just too old i would fucking blow out a hip probably if i tried to throw one of those things now so so i think it's i think it's cool in the sense that it's a fun outdoor activity that doesn't cost very much money other than what you spend on your discs this and you can like go have a couple of beers while you're doing it maybe swung a little weed if you want like i said a lot of friends that just have a great time doing it

and yeah it's a great way for them to kill a saturday afternoon yeah whatever well so i think it's cool in that sense if you come up and you're like i'm the fucking champion disc golfer of whatever yeah okay that's i mean get a shirt that's fine but it's not that cool yeah people aren't gonna understand that at all you know who that is yeah i do find adam like is you know he has some history to it i had heard something about that before and it's somebody we know so it's like yeah that's cool it's pretty badass that's but yeah it's just one of those things i never never thought of like oh i'm looking up to you know who's the number one disc golfer in the usa right now like i never thought it was that cool yeah i just ended up catching some of those videos and then all of a sudden like make some awesome shot next thing you know I'm an hour into it and I've watched all these amazing things so yeah yeah fucking bounce them off the ground I was just gonna say that I saw a guy make a hole in one and it was a pretty long one and he's like talking about it before and he's like I'm gonna have to bounce this one I was like what not only did it bounce it bounce went up curved it went I'm like what the fuck like there's if you would have asked me before he did it if I would have said there's zero chance that somebody could do that how about speak of that have you ever watched the ultimate frisbee videos okay i was gonna ask about that too because i don't know what the fuck that is i've heard of frisbee but i've used to play it's like a like kind of like rugby like a continuous running game but once you catch the frisbee you have to stop like you can't keep running it's like if i throw the so you're trying to get to the end zone right so but once i throw once i throw it if i catch it

i have to stop i can't catch it and keep running to the end zone so the only way you're trying to get it it's like they have to intercept intercept it or you drop it if you drop the ball the or if you drop the frisbee then they can pick it up you can't like tackle each other though no because they have to stop they can't well they can't run so it's not like that it gets a little physical yeah because you can jump up for the ball and hand fighting balls for the frisbee trying to catch it huh stuff like that but it's what's more impressive is the way that some of them fucking throw the they'll throw it like over their head straight and somehow it you know i'm like god damn that's cool that's another thing when we disc off i remember people would we'd call it a tomahawk yeah and i was like you can't do that it won't fly like that and it did i was like what the fuck like none of this is like following the physics i don't get it so all right so there you go kelly there's our answer on that one two weeks late but we got there we got there uh we do have a couple other so adam asked in the last one uh about spraying out your garbage cans and if you know all that and he did at the end of it he said uh also shout out to fellow old guy wade our good buddy and would love to hear his take on this oh um so wade did chime in he said what's up shit birds long time listener first time emailer this is in response to adam's email about washing out garbage cans it fills me full of joy that my friends like to include me in conversations of advanced age i am in the same lane of thought that you guys are i wash them if they stink and need it i do get excited when the lids are left open outside and it rains free wash thanks for the content boys keep up the good work love wade so you dump that out

Oh, yeah. And you see it right now. You're like, oh, that needed that. That out on the road here. It made me think, though, because I mean, I've left mine out, you know, a day or two sometimes if I'm just not thinking about it. I'm like, I need to start at least opening the lid. Get that. Yeah. Get that free wash out of the way. There you go. So TJ emailed in one of our best buds. And I'll be honest, TJ, this is me reading it for the first time, but I'm not sure I understand completely. so I might leave part of this out and ask you. But anyway, he said, hey, guys, TJ here. Guess the theme? Well, he said, I have a question for Shaun.

I was wondering if you went camping and woke up with a bottle of lube in your hand and a condom hanging from your ass. Would you tell anyone? Would I tell anyone? Yeah.

No. Do you want to go camping? I think he knew you'd say that Oh, well done, buddy Well done So he said, okay You've never heard that one? But it's so fucking I can't wait for that joke Yeah, it's great He said, okay, now for the story Mike, Adam, and TJ went to Fox 8 That was a really nice camping spot I think in Coralville. Anyway, that his parents would go to. Yeah. He said. Nobody talks about it, but yeah, it was a real nice spot. Well, you heard what I just asked right before this, right? Right. When camp went out there in a Saturn with a bag of Twizzlers, you take it from here.

So we went out to that campground one night. I think it was to visit his parents because they were out camping. And we got out of the car, not thinking about it. Go talk to his parents for a couple hours. come back to the car and like we're walking up i'm like dude something's fucking moving in the car and like we're like what the fuck and so we like shine a flashlight there's a fucking raccoon on the dashboard because someone didn't leave the window left the window cracked yeah i'm gonna blame adam because i can't remember whose whose fault it was i think we always fought about who left the window open but we're like what's it's eating twizzards but it sees us and it gets scared and it just starts pissing as it's trying to escape the car.

So it pisses all over the car and then dives out the window and we're like, what the fuck? And she's like, there's piss all over my car. Dude, it was the most random thing. I'm like, I... We didn't even know how to react. I don't even remember how we cleaned that, but it was like, it was bad. It's simply I just think of like a different version of Tommy Boy. Like, dear! Right, exactly.

yeah he said i scream like a child so uh he said okay now tell more camping stories i'm like god i'm trying to even remember some of them but i do miss camping we actually did used to do it quite a bit like nick and jen hit a camper yeah you guys used to go all the time yeah um i still remember my favorite fourth of july picture with you and nick oh fuck when you have a cabin at the cabin Is that where it was at? You guys are all decked out in your 4th of July. We're going to have to post that on here now that we said that's going to have to get posted. Oh, Nick will love that. One of us was more willing to do that than the other.

Quarterback. Quarterback on your center. That was so fucking good. You know, that was so fucking good. That picture is so fucking good. Well, and that's why everyone asked me, like, you know, even Kara, she didn't know when we started dating, like, how willing I am to, like, you know, she likes doing costume parties and all that stuff. I don't think she knew if I would do it. I'm like, dude, you don't know. I have no fucking shame when it comes to this stuff. I will look like an idiot all the time. Like if it makes someone smile, I don't give a shit. So I'm trying to think because Nick was like pretty against doing it. And then he had enough beers and I mean, he was like, fuck it. Let's do this. So we were trying to win like some, someone was like, I think it was Ashby or something was given away, like doing a giveaway of like a few really like bare barrel age beers, but it was like based on who did the best like chug in fourth of july apparel so that's that's why we came up with that but then did you ever see the video we took yeah i've seen it i'm probably well so while we dressed up like that obviously well then my kids brought their scooters and so we strapped like roman candles and bottle rockets to the back of the scooters see that. And then we like had smoke bombs going and we're shooting. Oh no, we oh my God, this was the best part. The scooters do sparks like. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Back up, back up, back up. And then we duct taped Roman candles to the beer we were shotgunning. Yeah. Well that was fine until like we realized we're doing it. We're not paying attention where anybody is. If you watch the video back, Nick came within like millimeters shooting me right in the eye with the Roman candle. And I'm sitting there chugging no idea. It was just mass chaos. And then we're like, that was so funny. We watched the video. We're like, we could have killed somebody. That was a really bad idea. This is why you don't drink and play with fireworks. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. You guys did used to camp all the time.

Yeah. For a while. It's really fun. The only thing I don't like camping wise is, you know, it's like, yeah, I can go a day without a shower or whatever. That's not. But there was a couple of times we camped where it was like 110 degrees. Yeah. And dude, that's like a level of miserable. like at night we would be in the camper and there's ac and that's fine yeah but when you're so hot that like you just can't stop sweating well and you need the fire to like have some bugs away keep the bugs away yeah you can't like that's horrible yeah so i in my older age i've gotten to the point where i will camp but i want to camp in the fall pretty much only the fall is the fall is the best that what i saying cold outside yeah perfect because you you want like i want to look forward to the fire you know not like yeah not like jesus yeah like you put a log you know yeah yeah um i've never been a huge king i just always feel like it's fucking work like you get there you just you're always working like you're just always working to the next thing and i'm like so much fun it's like fun work like chopping up firewood and yeah see i can do that but i can do that at home yeah it's true it does make me laugh like that like i'll you know the people who have those like giant hundred thousand dollar campers or whatever it just cracks me up because like no we like i've heard people say it's like no we go camping because it's low cost and you know it's something to do with the feeling like there's nothing right low cost about between buying firewood buying all the groceries and shit for that weekend you spend way more than you would at home you spend just as much if you went out to eat and i'm like so and and i'm not knocking anybody that likes to do it good for you like if you if it makes you happy be happy but like you

buy a camper to then go camping like 20 minutes from your house or half an hour from your house i'm like i'll just fucking stay at my house like i'll come hang out and do the campfire and then just fucking go to my house like that's i've never understood it like those people that have the permanent spots and they're only 30 minutes from home i'm like what i just i don't get it at all i don't understand it either like i would own a camper and maybe like once the kids are gone we'll have something small but i would own it for like i want to go to fucking colorado and go to a concert and not have to worry about a hotel yeah you know something or you're going by water like yeah kind of a deal but yeah yeah or you're going by water because you like have a little boat you're taking out or you want to go fish you know yeah that makes more sense to me but see for me it is the ultimate like i would rather just know somebody with it i mean yeah you're you're my that for a boat yeah i'll have the boat and i have a pool yeah outside of that i don't want somebody else get the fucking camper okay like and i'm good with that i don't need i don't need another fucking thing to take no you don't i don't need another thing to ensure right that's just funny you said that and i was like yeah that's why i love that you have a boat like obviously i actually love like i'm fine like but some people are the same way like they're like i'll take camp like i'm fine with paying every dollar for that because i love doing it well that's how i feel about the boat so i'm fine about that even when it pisses me off and you know i think the batteries are dead

and they're not dead and what would it end up being oh sorry i just didn't know if you ever explain that. My bad. We're going to find a way to permanently fix that thing. Fucking super glue it in. Actually, did I tell you Jim told me that? Yeah, you said you just got to buy a bigger boat. Just got to buy a bigger boat. Fucking easy, easy fix. There you go, Ashley. Get ready. We need a bigger boat. We need a bigger boat. We can't have that happen anymore, so. I support that. I do too. I support you getting a bigger boat. 100%. I'll be there anytime you need me to help you take that boat out. We're good friends, aren't we?

the best you know what guys for you guys i'm gonna be thinking with the moped guy i'll get a moped yeah okay you guys can borrow it anytime yeah yep get a cool bell on it bring bring okay so the other thing i got to bring up here before i get to this other email oh no that was it that was it for email oh i sent you guys the videos i started re-watching modern family right because it's like as a family i knew we kind of like to have a show yeah that's just on like something like that that we just kind of it's the go-to turn on because we don't really have cable anymore so you're always finding a show to watch but sometimes you don't really want to focus and do whatever yeah so we re-watch these oh my god phil dumpy i underestimate him in that dad and the dad's pool he's so he's so fucking good in that show so you would change the votes well i don't know i don't know i don't remember i know we can't remember who the whole bracket and and uh actually got rid of it i don't even know where it's at somewhere that's what you post i'm like a shot that episode ended he went and threw in a burn barrel i was like no one's ever gonna see this we're gonna have to go back and listen to it to remake the bracket um actually i think it's probably saved on ashley's computer so oh perfect but um but he's so fucking good in that video when i there's the the video i sent you guys yesterday was shaking his head shaking his head at the at the pain shaker yeah that is it's so fucking it's such a good show i'm gonna have to watch it so did you not watch it no the video you

said i did but i'm saying the show yeah i've never really watched it i mean i've seen like snippets but no i've no you will love it and just do it that like because it's yeah i wouldn't say like every single every single episode has something funny not every episode is like amazing but yeah yeah but they're but they there's a lot of fun but they're also they have 26 episodes a season you know what i mean like it's well in their half hour episodes yeah not only do you get phil dunphy you get al bundy too i know right so good well and you get i was gonna say there's a couple of beautiful things to look at in that show yeah she's so hot sophia vigara yeah oh my god she's so hot i thought you were talking about uh dumphy's wife she's hot too i was gonna say that sounds like she's hot too yeah but yeah sophia vigara's but it is it is definitely worth watching again And yeah, when I was watching it, I'm like, oh, I really under, I didn't give him enough credit for, and I feel like it was just because we just did that pull that there, you know, that bracket that all of a sudden I'm like watching, I'm like, oh my God, he is like the best that he's so good.

I can see it. I can already tell, like, because we all kind of have the same feeling on things. I know I'm going to watch it and be like, God damn it. And I'm not going to want to admit it, but it's like, I mean, yeah, but that's the thing. I was a little biased because I don't know him like as good. And that was one of those shows that I kind of dabbed in. I watched. I didn't watch it like we're watching now. And I'm like, okay, definitely under, you know. Well, I'll tell you what. I'm going to have a lot of free time here soon. So I'm going to have 60 days where I have lots of free time. So I'm going to, I'm kind of making a list of things.

Like Mayor of Kingstown. I don't know if you guys watch that, but it's like probably my favorite show currently in the last like year. But the new season just started. I think there's like three out. And Adam's like, why haven't you started? it i'm like well i haven't started it yet i haven't either i think i'm gonna wait until there's a few of them and that way it can because they are really good at that show like it ends and you're like fuck like you can't watch the other one you're pissed i wonder what's gonna happen with that now that he's left paramount um oh taylor taylor sheridan yeah he's not he left paramount you know he's under contract with mbc so there's a new show adam was telling me about this the apparently Casey from Yellowstone is going to have his own show.

So that's not going to be on Paramount then? I don't know. They haven't announced that. Let me tell you what's going to happen. He left Paramount to go to CBS? No, NBC. What's going to happen is you're going to have some old episodes of a show that you have to watch on Paramount and then there's going to be new episodes that you have to watch on fucking Peacock and they're not going to release them for like a year. This is what they did with Yellowstone. It switched networks too and it's fucking horrible. It is. It's so dumb. This is why people pirate shit. Oh, yeah. Because they make it so fucking difficult to watch the show. Did you see what he got, though? Oh, I can't even imagine. Fucking billion dollars.

What? Yeah. His contract's worth like a billion dollars. Everything he's made is gold. Even the ones that nobody knows about. Have you watched Lioness? Yeah, that's fucking great. Lioness is fucking great. Landman is fucking incredible. Just when you go to like paramount you just look at his selections you're like every one of these is fucking good but you know what's crazy too is why he started he was on he was on sons of anarchy yeah he was pretty good on there he was great but he wasn't like a main character but he was great i think they got i think they fired him or or at least yeah kind of his run was over he was struggling like finding something he's like i'm just gonna start writing my own stuff and then fucking boom like i don't think anyone's ever blown up harder that fast you know but he's yeah he's killing it and i don't know how who how they can write that many right that many different shows going on but anyways i hope they don't fuck it up because one of the things like network tv has never been that edgy you know i mean that's why they my favorite shows have always been on like that kind of level like his drama like fx and hbo get on that like you know that paramount get on that that edgy you know cable and not so i'm just worried about that which that's fair my guess is they're probably just trying to become i mean paramount's one of the ones that it's cbs like it's not yeah so they were they broke the mold there yeah and i kind of

but they started they still didn't put it on actual cbs well and cbs bought it paramount was its own thing until CBS bought it. So either way, my guess is hopefully NBC just kind of keeps that edginess because I doubt he's going to sell out and all of a sudden stop dealing edgy shit anyways. They got to figure this shit out though because wasn't it recently like YouTube lost ABC like Disney because they couldn't figure out negotiations. So now you can't watch all the sports and all this. I'm like, that's a big fucking deal. When YouTube TV started, I looked this up. I want to say it was like $25 a month or something like that. Now it's like almost 80. That's crazy.

I remember when everybody was pulling the cord and switching it was like $50 a month. I remember I was looking at that or Hulu because we were going to do Hulu live. Last I looked it was 65 but I'm sure it's up now. I think it's more than that. Then if you have it at multiple locations, multiple TV, you know what I mean? Then all of a sudden you get the higher packages and yeah, you're well over. This is why I don't feel bad at all if people pirate. I'm like, knock yourself out they're clearly doing fine when you're splitting hairs over like whether you can negotiate a 500 million dollar deal or like a 400 it's like they're still doing fine and until you bring the fucking prices down i don't care well here's the thing like outside of the prices so that's one argument yeah make it fucking convenient for people right how to watch you're the customers and we want to watch the thing yeah make it so that we can watch it and pay a simple rate and we'll be happy.

But when you start fucking complicating things and saying it's not on this one, it's not on this one, whatever, that's when people start just going, fuck you, I'm going to get it for free. I thought I saw recently Netflix for the night time is raising their price too. It's like, at a certain point to have three subscription services you're going to be paying $180 a month. That's bananas. Cable TV used to be, people were like, it's too expensive because it's $80 a month or whatever yeah we we all like everybody went to streaming because their cable bill their cable and internet bill was over a hundred dollars right now what is it oh that just reminded me though i want to say i don't like media com that's pretty there's a lot of people who don't that's fair right just internet alone they raised my bill and i was gonna be paying 130 a month granted i had really fast service but i'm like that's insane so like i saw this thing like new customers it was only like 80 and i was used to paying 80 so i called and tried to get they were like no we can't do it you're not a new customer i was like fine i'm canceling then and they were like okay so i canceled but then i was like man i don't know where to go i was gonna go with imon but they don't have fiber in my neighborhood and because they are there already there's like no plans to put fiber in they're putting fiber in everywhere they're not yet yeah so i was like you know what i heard about t-mobile having internet like their hot spot and i was like man this isn't gonna be fast enough and I'm going to do it. It's the best. I've had zero issues. I honestly get almost the same speed I was getting with media comm and it was like 60 bucks a month flat done. And it's

bad. And I think, I think I got like two promotions. I'm getting like $450 and like prepaid credit cards. Do the math on that at $60 a month. Like I basically have like almost like a year free. So that's awesome. Anyway, if you're out there and you're worried about it, I've heard a lot of people switch into the cell carrier internet. I thought it would suck, man. I'm averaging like 300 megabytes per second, and that's honestly what I would get with Mediacom, even though I was paying for like a gigabyte. Wow, that's awesome. Yeah, no, a gig. Yeah. So anyway, that's my old man speech about, fuck the man.

Prices are too high. We've seen the price of nuts. Right? No shit. Yeah. Fuck that. Chaps my ass. Fuck yeah, guys. Chaps my ass paying that shit. Thank you, Shaun. Right on cue. I forgot to say it. Yeah. Media comm chaps the fuck out of my ass.

I'm sure they're lovely people, but God damn it. I left and went to Imon when they had fiber in my neighborhood. I know you did. Never looked back. Yeah. We talked. I can tell you, like, I can probably count on one hand how many times my internet has gone down with Imon versus Media comm. You could count on it, like, once every couple of months. like the only thing there was a one month span where with media com it went down at least three to four times a week every week for like months and they were like well we're doing service in the area and i'm like well stop it like you can't and i've had t-mobile now for two months it hasn't gone down once and it's one thing i can only give a fuck if it goes down at three in the morning but it's going down in the middle of the day when i'm working when you're trying to work yeah Fuck you.

Fuck them. Fucking whores. Now we know what grinds our gears and chaps our ass. Although I feel more annoyed now now that I had to talk about it. I'll make you another apple.

I'll do it for one Scooby snack, Erik. Alright, it's about that time. You guys ready for a dad joke? Yeah. Why should you not trust dermatologists? because they get under your skin god damn it i'm not gonna guess they make too many rash decisions fuck that's a good one though you got a good answer that's the thing and that's why i'm so confident in these because i can always like pull something out i'm like it has to be that it makes total sense and it fucking doesn't i gotta get what you gotta throw me a softball here soon. I'm like not doing well mentally. I got you.

Fuck, dude. It's weighing on my soul. I don't have a lot of skills, boys. Mental status raises like just hinges on dad jokes. Why is Mike so depressively? He hasn't guessed a dad joke in like two months. I wouldn't bring it up to him. Might go postal. Give me another cocktail. Avoid that conversation. Hey, another good one in the books. Yeah, thank you guys for listening. Uh, we love doing this. Uh, yeah. And as usual, I'm going to remind you that we love emails. Uh, so please shoot us one about anything, anything we've talked about, anything you're curious about, anything you want to see here, whatever.

Uh, we're still cool. Right. At gmail.com. Same for all the socials across the board. Yes. And please share, um, tell your friends about us if you would. Yeah. It means a lot. It helps us out when we get more followers and get more people listening to us. And we really, really appreciate it. We do. We, it means a lot. And if anyone asks, I just tell them that it's their uncle's favorite podcast. So just tell them that. And whether their uncle knows it or not, it is. Yeah. Like Shaun said, like, share, subscribe, all that stuff. If you guys can, if anybody out there is listening on other platforms and you want to try listening on Spotify, that is something that will help us get to a potential monetization level.

So if it doesn't chap your ass too much to switch platforms, check us out on Spotify for a little bit and give us some listens over there. That'd be great. Very helpful. Our goal is to climb them charts, baby. Start climbing those charts. You know, I will say, too, I never used to listen to stuff on Spotify, but I have. Obviously, since we've started, that's where I listen to everything now. I like it better. But I was always like an Apple snob. But like Spotify, the way it's all like organized and stuff, I like it way better. There you go. So if you're an Apple listener, give it a shot. Yeah. All right, ladies and gents, we'll see you next week.

Thanks. See ya.
