How the hell you gonna get fired on your day off?
00:00:22
I felt like it was time to use that one. Felt fitting for you? Is that the same? Yeah. I mean, eventually I'm gonna have to talk about it. So we'll get into it eventually. But we're back for another one. We're back with that wonderful sound, the crack of the beer. I love it. So those of you who join us all the time, welcome back. Thanks for joining us again. If you're new, grab a drink and join us. I think we have a suggestion for a drink that Erik made for us. So you want to jump into that here, Erik? Yeah. So the drink of the week doesn't actually have a name. It's supposed to- Mike's Nightmare?
00:00:57
Can we call it Mike's Nightmare? All I know is I'm going to hate this. It's Mike's nightmare. So Mike hates Pink Whitney. I hate you. So it just inspired me. I'd also like to know, does anyone like Pink Whitney? Ever. Because we drank it in the Ozarks with a group of, what, 10, 12 people? And everyone was like, this is fucking disgusting. And we only bought it basically because they had like a bucket of shooters. Yeah, they had the pack. We bought it for convenience. Exactly. So we didn't have to do Fireball. We thought we had a good idea. Yeah, it's not like Malort level bad, but it's fucking well.
00:01:28
or shut up i guess i can't say that sean but it's it's bad it's it's terrible it's eric said it best it's just like the fakest lemonade taste there is and then it lingers it's just a aftertaste yeah so thank you for that with that uh endorsement here what do we got okay so today we have the pink whitney and a and w root beer and it's supposed to taste like bubble gum okay It smells like shit. Cheers.
00:01:59
No, it doesn't taste like bubble gum. I think it kind of tastes like bubble gum that's lost its flavor. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like it was bubble gum. Yeah, it's under desk gum. This is like the double bubble you've been chewing for a whole day. Oh, my God. And why do we have to have a full drink of it also? You can slam it. I'm going to have to. when you guys get I don't think it's that bad you guys in liking I don't think it's good but I don't think it's that bad like I'd try it give it a shot yeah I did oh you're saying I'm saying in general yeah that's worth giving it a shot well yeah I was gonna say recommend you like this you like Malort but Erik doesn't really like Malort either well I recommend just buying the shooters because you know that bottle will stick around for a long time so I'm gonna send this one home with Mike Fuck you. Yeah, you poor bastard.
00:02:51
You had to buy a whole bottle of it. Erik's just collecting bottles that are gross to people like Infinity Stones. Fernet, Malore, that. You've got to have an impressive collection now. It's a pretty decent sized bar just from this show. Thank God you have a good whiskey selection to offset it. That's like the show horse is the whiskey. That's the pride and joy here. Speaking of the horse. We went from that and in front of us we have a bottle of blanton's gold which is just this gorgeous delicious thing so i feel like you brought it just to make it up for you so that way you know you can try that so that's true i mean okay fine leave it up eric to bring the pink whitney and then the blanton so yeah it's pretty so i think we're gonna kind of uh you know the show is always going to be the same but we're going to try and get the what's still cool on our minds every show we're going to kind of make that a bigger spotlight so yeah i thought maybe we should just hop right into that it would make sense since this is the we're still cool right podcast i did not say in the opening so imagine that oh another pink whitney please sean's a little off he had to switch cars uh because you know so i drove ashley's car today you know it's like when you don't drive so i didn't have the keys to my office so i'm like knocking on the door like homeless guy trying to get in and then when we came down here i didn't have the stuff you know that we wanted to share like
00:04:23
i had that middle finger statue i didn't have that with me um and then as i mean i love my wife to death you know but she's smart she's like you should take my car today i'm like okay and she's like uh by the way that the air pressure is low on the tires you get that filled out like yeah maybe you know and she's like hey you should run get some of those wipers we talked about that too well me and every other asshole in town was getting their tires filled up today so it was like on my lunch i went over to like discount tire does it for free you just roll up and that's where we got our tires from so i never feel bad about going over there um the line was like out on the road jesus so well because it's cold and everyone's are yeah yeah so in the first one the first snow and all that stuff so of course you know it was going to be full on but yeah me and me and everybody else in town was getting that done today so well we all did get over 10 inches recently and it still hurts and now it's now we're getting more today i was hoping you're lying nobody ever gives 10 when they say you're gonna get 10 i know that was the thing like i'm like all right we've heard this before we're just gonna still drive around and do whatever we want and it was like i went out and cleared the driveway like 8 30 i'm like okay there's like a couple inches but then it like hit i don't know 11 12 and it was just heavy and falling i'm like it's not stopping yeah so i don't know what we ended up getting but it was over i think it was 11 that i saw it i know it broke like a hundred year record or some shit like yeah the record that i read was like nine inches in a in a single day yeah was the record and it was broken i just
00:05:55
didn't i couldn't find in the article what we actually got so moved to cedar rapids it's like 11 sounds right yeah so if you're not in the midwest not happy with you right now but yeah it's pretty i'll give it that i actually don't hate the snow i just don't want it on the roads you know it's like it's gorgeous even that day when it was falling i was like if it wasn't for the fact i was looking at it going i'm too old and i have to fucking go do this two more times it would have been great do you okay so let me ask you this like i i sat there and i said i'm gonna wait till it stops nope i never do that i don't trust it i almost always do because i'm like i got a great snow you have a giant like two yeah like i have a small one i have the same thing but yeah i struggled did you yeah dummy i waited too long did you those first two inches like the groundsworm so it just turns to slush right away so that's why i did it so it just kept piling up till i get to a point where i'm like well we're gonna shovel this one to here like because i can't instead of throwing your snowblers just vomiting you know it's just like falling out the side it's It mostly handled it, but I had struggled in some spots.
00:06:56
But then the next day was even worse because they came and plowed the streets and all the ice got piled up at the end of my drive. I was like, oh, my snowboarder couldn't do anything with that. Oh, man. It's just... By the way, I know we've already done what we always do. I said we were going to get into that, and now we're talking about snow. Did anyone notice that? But before we go back to what we're actually going to talk about, Erik knows this, and I don't want to get into the whole story, but I have a neighbor who's kind of an asshole. And when the derecho happened, he was a dickhead. And it is what it is.
00:07:27
But I forgot a few years ago, before he apologized for the derecho, when I go out and clear my driveway, I clear it three feet on each side. That way, when they come plow it all back in, it's a little bit less. Well, it was like shooting it. Some of it was going in the middle of the road. And he's like, yeah, make an order on the rest of us. And then he walked in his house. I'm like, motherfucker, it's like an inch in the middle of the road. What are you talking about? I love it. So, yeah. Make an order on the rest of us. I never told Erik that, and Erik was like, fuck that guy. So I'm like, yeah, just in case you didn't hate him enough.
00:07:56
Which I noticed a bunch of the videos, too. We talked about the dads crashing out. Have you seen them now when they're shoveling and crashing out? No. Look, this one guy goes, why do my fucking parents pick to live in goddamn Minnesota? It's like, they could have lived anywhere. They could have lived anywhere. No, we picked Minnesota because I like my family. I buy a house down the street from it. He's like freaking out. I'm like, this is fucking great. Don't move away. Look what happens. Yeah. Well, same thing. i've talked about like when i bought my house at least when you buy your first home you never think like the size of the driveway matters right but then you look back and you're like i didn't need this much driveway this is fucking stupid like two stall would have been great just a little bit so yeah you definitely learned some things yeah unfortunately when it's too late yeah like always too bad you already bought it anyways what is so eric has yeah eric has today's what's you know is it still cool yeah so i i was thinking about this uh over the last couple of days and i want to know do you guys think are car hearts still cool and so i'm talking about the brand of yep you know outdoor clothing yeah you know they have coats and pant you know coveralls and different things like that and when i was growing up like everybody wore them yeah like you were in a small town though yeah yeah especially in a small town like everybody wore them but then it seemed like they kind of went out of style i've always owned a pair and it's my snowblowing gear like that's what i use the coveralls and stuff yeah i do that or when i'm working on a car or something laying on the ground it's great for that because you don't have to worry about staining it well it's
00:09:27
also there it's solid like it doesn't rip easily like i love it i always have i think it's always been cool still but the thing that would get me is it turned into this thing where like all the girls are like you have to have your car heart beanie yeah and you know what i mean and like the kids who you know there's kids who go to prairie for example which is like a lot of small town kids go there so they're wearing it for different reasons they're out like working after but then there's like the kids at kennedy and stuff like that where they're not but they're like but look at my carhartt coat so i it'd be very funny to hear what the kids said about this you know because i feel like it's went back out of style now for them but is it in style oh it's yeah okay he's wearing it for style like it's like the sweatshirt that's what made me think of the car heart sweatshirts like sophie and the kids all wanted that and i was like okay because isn't this like half a step off of wearing a cowboy hat when you don't fucking cowboy i think i'm going to nashville for the weekend i have to bring like there's a comedian that talked about that that said like if you know that um about wearing car hearts that used to mean like you were poor or you were like they're like there's a rifle in that house like they have done construction like that and he's like now like he was like i was embarrassed to wear it to school and he's like no it's like the coolest thing you have i don't remember what's also not funny though yeah i mean no they're not cheap but they do last last right like you can buy one coat and it lasts five years this belonged to my grandpappy's grandpappy like it's been handed down which because i feel like every time you saw him they were just used yeah like you know i mean they've
00:11:00
been beat up like they're all stained up and everything else and now i guarantee you know that's another thing you don't you don't see anyone wearing ones that have been through some right it's like oh i got one dry cleaned i got one that's like a jacket that i use for snowball and it's the best one i have by far yeah yeah it's just same and it's just like a kind of like a hooded sweatshirt you know i mean it's like a zip up sweatshirt but it's warm as hell like i it's the warmest coat i have like if it's really cold that's the one i put on mine is the it's the hard material is it the thin slit so it's like really thin overall coat okay and it is warmer than my winter coat most of the time oh yeah i have gloves too that i use it for my snowblown ones so yeah see what i'm doing work we all know that i'm like well ashley this is a project gonna take my car well i'm just like i have such girly hands i gotta protect these babies you know what i mean so what i what i found kind of funny so jack asked for a coat and stuff like for you know essentially for fashion right so the coats are like into it it's not this is what like Like the actual coat?
00:12:05
Okay. So he got one and I go, oh, look at this one that I've had for 10 years. He didn't want that one, I'm guessing. Yeah, no. Well, at least you're buying quality. Yeah. It'll go out of style, come back in style, come back in style and it'll be good to go. I was going to say that, yeah, I don't see that ever fully going. Not where we live. You know, that's the thing. Is that cool out west? Maybe, you know, I don't know. Maybe not. Like Montana, maybe. but something tells me Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa are safe, and that shit's always going to be cool. But I would say right now it's at its peak of coolness actually. The kids are wearing it to be cool or like it looks...
00:12:46
I guess I just feel like I'm seeing it less now, so I didn't know if it went back out or something. It just doesn't represent hard work or hunting or... You know what I mean? Like blue collar anymore. Now it's like everybody's got it. I know you said something about like, oh, you know they have a rifle in their house or whatever. I'm like, fuck, they probably... I mean, these kids are at... They're in high school and there's a rifle in their truck so they can hunt on lunch break or whatever. Well, that's in my neighborhood for sure. Exactly, yeah. There was a joke where that was like, no more guns left or you can't have them on school property.
00:13:15
A reminder goes out and it's like somebody posted in there, you'll see all the hunting trucks sitting out on the, they'll be parking out on the road, not on school property. Oh, that's hilarious. They'll have their guns in there to go hunt afterwards. Or one guy sends an email out like, guys, we're setting up the armory in my garage. Small town, man. that's what they do get done and they go hunt isn't that weird though that they'll hunt before school yeah it's like how that used to be versus now i mean it wasn't just like we went hunting a lot they always had a rifle on them they like they knew everything and did you hunt i did with my grandpa yeah did you hunt yeah i never i went once i miss it but also i don't because it's fucking cold man yeah i've gotten old and like the cold hurts more yeah no they're like four in the the morning it's sub-zero it's just never been my thing it's just out of and i like to do everything the majority of things i like to do and hunting is just never i never got never been a big thing like just really hasn't been as much as most of my family but i went because of my family so i went like rabbit hunting pheasant hunting i never really went deer hunting i went out and helped set up stands and stuff but never see i didn't want to sit out there forever yeah i didn't want to do i didn't have the attention span so yeah i went the one time i went i didn't even i hadn't been through hunter safety didn't have a permit so i like just i was with cooper and i walked so i didn't i didn't have a gun or anything like that because i'm like i'm not doing any of that stuff but then for a while i got to drive one of the i was driving around picking people up you know
00:14:46
i was more of that stuff and i love the camaraderie and that kind of stuff and i think it's really cool i just i just don't have an interest in hunting so i will say the weird like i i only deer hunted i i want to go pheasant hunting or something like that just because i have never done it like something's fun about like watching them out and that like the blind and it's like now and all of a sudden eight guys and then like one pheasant falls you're like oh well and then the next question is do you have a dog no oh the next question is where'd you hit it because there were multiple that i got that they weren't inedible because the bird shot was all throughout yeah you want a little heavy so the whole time you're eating it's just center mass instead of leading yeah all right but the funny thing is when like oh that worked for a bird this big yeah a morsel side of like a boneless wing the filet mignon of the sky uh but no like i've heard multiple people say this the first time i pointed like my shotgun at a deer dude i shook uncontrollably like i almost dropped the gun like i like something takes over like adrenaline You realize you're going to take something's life.
00:15:54
Oh, you're thinking that. Yeah. Exciting. It was more of like the. Yeah. And I'm not like, I mean, I love animals, but I also believe in hunting and sustaining. Right. Like, so I have no problem doing it, but something about it, man, I was just like, oh, fuck. And I like, I almost dropped the gun. I couldn't shoot. It was weird. So did you hit it though? I didn't shoot. Oh. I fucking panicked. Have you ever actually shot a deer then? Yeah. Yeah. But my grandpa saw that first time. Yeah. What the fuck are you doing? Why are you pulling the trigger? I was like I don't know what took over It didn't look good It doesn't look any better than that He looked evil I had to pass on him No I ended up I got a couple does I never got a buck I have a buddy Bob who he goes out Him and his kids they do every season They'll fill like 10 tags just in a season Which is like crazy Cooper's into it he really wants to do it And thank god Ashley's dad does it So he likes to do that but it's just never been and i i like i said i wish i'd liked it it's also like i like the culture and i like the i think it's cool it is trucks and you know all the stuff that they have and like just hanging out kicking it like going i just think it's cool but then having some beers would yeah would you ever want to clean an animal though no no see that part that's like gloves you know like cleaning fish yeah so deer is like real blood like i remember when we were like there's i walked around like and looked in the back of the truck and like there's a dead deer there and i remember being like oh you know what i mean like it just like scared me like seeing it like
00:17:26
i'm just not cut out for this we growing up i mean during deer season we'd have multiple in our garage oh yeah well and you know they had cleaned them and then they're hanging there and then then you butcher them yeah everybody would bring them over to our garage so it was like a freaking meat locker in there like well the funniest thing is when you have a family like that where there's that many people forget like okay well what do you do with all the innards and the heads and like oh those are in the graveyard most people just have this giant pit and it's like just decaying like it's so gross yeah i never asked where they went but i assume they went most people just have a pit yeah well a lot of them you feel dressed just in the field like you just do it out there well yeah somewhat but even when you're done you still hide in the head yeah yeah um everything from the rooter to the tutor man we take it all here right my uh i won't go too graphic but my stepdad taught me how to because when i would go rabbit hunting you got to clean your own because i like i want to eat this you know i shot it i want to eat it which feels so it so much work and then you like oh cool i have a chicken breast look at me go like but he he taught me how to field dress a rabbit and you essentially just pull cut it and yank do it oh you snap it like a blanket yeah oh sorry you said you were gonna go graphic my bad but yeah yeah i mean it makes sense yummy i don't know man i've i could go on this whole thing because i i have this like inner dream where i'm like one day the kids are gone and i just want like a couple acres land in
00:19:00
a tiny home you know and then it's like chickens and all this stuff because i've had chickens before no but they say like rabbit is the most like sustainable animal because like they breed so fast and reproduce quick but again it's like oh you spent a whole day dressing rabbits for 12 hours and you're like i have 26 chicken breasts it's like it just doesn't seem worth it you know what i mean so i don't know but now at least i know i can just snap them out of sorry stick around eric give us some lessons on how we do this it's been it's been over 20 years since i've done it so i can find you one we'll make this happen maybe our next tiktok which by the way great job on the on the clips buddy if you're listening at home you haven't seen them We have a lot of backup content, so we've been trying to kind of pump some of that out.
00:19:47
We've had good feedback, so we appreciate everybody for the likes and shares and everything like that. And if you haven't seen it, then clearly you're not following us. You should fix that. Erik's slaving over this MacBook. Because he's got all kinds of them rolling out. My favorite part is at Thanksgiving, so I was asking people, I'm like, oh, have you seen the clips? So you can kind of figure out who's following and who's not. that's been weird i always like to wait for him to say it to me because then i'm like no it's like because everyone else they do like yeah it has been weird hearing from people where i would never have expected that yeah and they'll come up and say something i'm like and i don't want to sound dumb be like wait you actually listen but it's like oh i had no idea you know so it's people i wouldn't expect like you know 60 year old aunts and stuff like that it's awesome i love you and i'm not making i'm just saying like i just think we'd be do do we need to start putting like disclaimers on episodes like don't listen to this one family yeah aunt patty stay away from this we're not gonna like it everyone we talk about you cheating on your husband everyone from my family where there's like a this or that and i end up with something up by the time sean that's a good time to bring that up how's the feedback then yeah it went a little off the rails everybody's super proud of being related to me and the stuff that I'm sharing.
00:21:05
Let's not forget that you saved America. Well, you know what I mean? People tend to look past that one. That's what you should have said to them. It's like, this is the price you pay when your country means everything to you. Things I'll do for people to like me. I'll answer questions, no big deal. Did anybody call you a superhero?
00:21:22
By the way, I tried, like, because Christmas is coming up, and I'm trying to find something for each of you, and I was legit trying to find Shaun. I can't find one, so I'm not going to end up doing it, because I love you, buddy, but not $500. worth but it's like i wanted to get like a custom-made statue of him like with like i love america and then like i don't know maybe osama bin Laden's face on his shirt or something like that but i can't it's just hard to find so let's not do that fine i'll make i'll get like an eight by ten and frame it instead by the way this is disgusting you're not even drinking it come on i'm gonna just chug it because it's gross put it down i'll be back in a minute i can't this is the first one i think i've made that not even the spicy one did he the spicy one was a quarter of this yeah and i did chug it that one had floaties in it it did it did have floaties in it that clip when i saw that again he's like there's fucking floaties i think i blocked that part out in the moment when he said that i think it was just tabasco or whatever yeah it just didn't like into it so i shouldn't say it was like floaty floaties but i also don't really like root beer that much see actually so i should probably i probably don't like bubble gum that much i was gonna say when you were saying that i don't like any of the ingredients and then you're like and it's supposed to take like bubble gum i'm like i don't really fucking like bubble gum i'm like all right all right it's not too bad so we'll do better but i do like booze clearly so like whatever i have a whole list of these for you guys so boy i would say you're killing it but
00:22:57
i'd rather you not you know what though we've been on a streak a really good one so i know we did because we started pretty rough for a few weeks i still feel bad when we had the girls on and i didn't have the drink so i gotta make that up to them shout out to the ladies that's on my list yeah like so that's what i gotta do so i heard one on the way here i was listening whatever i was listening to but they were talking about root beer floats see are those so cool i mean like yeah i don't know like and also i do like those you like a root beer float yeah because it tastes more like cream soda at that point i like cream soda oh yeah i think it's the most overrated it's edible and i love ice cream but oh it's overrated compared to just like a blizzard like a and w they had a whole like franchise built around it yeah that's pretty powerful well you like watch back those like movies from the 50s you know when there was drive-ins and you know like Like, they didn't have a lot of different kinds of pop and stuff.
00:23:52
I think root beer has been around forever, or sarsaparilla or whatever. Isn't that just root beer? Sarsaparilla? Version of it. Yeah. But it's like, I mean, there's a reason like breweries even make their own. You know what I mean? It's a fairly simple thing to make. Kids liked it because it had sugar in it. It doesn't take a whole lot to appease them. It's a root beer like, because it's a root that's similar. Yeah. So, I don't know. yeah i i don't know i've never been i'll have one i don't seek them out but like if someone's like you know the kids like we have root beer flow to be like yeah i don't have a little one that's fine okay yeah i just was listening i was like i've never been a big fan of them so i didn't know i used to get just like a craving for one every once in a while but like it's not like then they started making the adult ones though because remember when we were really big into crappier when it like first started booming and what was it not dads that's an actual group you're kind but there was an alcoholic root beer that was like you couldn't buy it here people were like trading for it and then people were making like not your father's yeah not your father's yeah and so like they had to put a disclaimer on it because it you know the kids would just drink exactly and it's and i think it was kind of strong if i remember i think it was like six at least six percent so it's like your kid comes always like i had a bunch of root beer you're like oh you should go lay down tomorrow and then they made like a mountain dew version of it too yeah well now there's a version of everything i do remember that yeah yeah now it's hard to find something that they haven't made so sweet though like that stuff was so early yeah yeah so i don't
00:25:24
know i guess like if you want dessert or a brewery it's not a bad idea but well you remember like mountain dew was created because they wanted something to mix with their whiskey some mixer really yeah mountain dew was created as a mixer which is funny because i always used to make a joke that what are you some kind of trash gonna mix like Mountain Dew with it you know I mean only to figure out that that's what it was actually I didn't even know that I don't think I mean if I have to drink a pop it's Diet Mountain Dew so yeah that's like it used to be your thing in a big way oh yeah it was a good 25% of your makeup was oh yeah I love Diet Mountain Dew yeah that was when I like I didn't ever drink coffee now I've now I'm an adult and I drink energy drinks like a real like a real grown-up child hey look mom i made it evidently mountain dew was the uh slang name for moonshine at the time what in the 1940s and it was created by these two brothers as a lemon lime mixer for did i bring in that moonshine that i had yeah don't do that again yeah that's one one where we did the back-to-back got off the rails a little bit that well that and that's when eric taught us how to well how how is the abv goes you just shake it is there bubbles i was like i don't really see any he's like then it's good i'm like okay all right you don't want bubbles yeah they go away really fast by the way when you sneak uh alcohol on a cruise ship i saw this online that's also how they because like people would put it in water bottles so they'd like get a water bottle and shake it and see if there was
00:26:57
any bubbles they're like get out of here that's when i always heard was in the shampoo bottles in the Listerine or suntan lotion, that kind of crap you can buy. I'm just not. I'm not that. I don't need to. I know. You're a good guy. You're an honest guy. You're going to be the other guy. We know.
00:27:17
We get it. You're a boy scout. You got it. Someone's got to balance out the two hoodlums over here. Someone's got to keep us on the level. I can't lie. I'm like, I can. I'll lie for you. It's fine. When I went on my cruise, I didn't sneak anything on, but I took barley. I love barley wine, which is a craft beer. But you're allowed to take a certain amount of wine. I was like, it's a gamble. I'm going to throw out like 80 bucks a beer if they don't let me. But when they were like, is this wine? I'm like, it says right there it's a barley wine. It's just a special kind of wine. And they let it on. I was like, sweet.
00:27:48
Well, it makes sense. I mean, whatever. They're not there to try to prevent a good time. No, they're there to prevent people sneaking on like four handles of teos. But most of the times you go on there, isn't it all-inclusive? No, not cruises. I just would never. When we did ours, we paid for the package. I would never go anywhere without buying the drink package. I understand that not everybody does that stuff. I buy the drink package. Well, shout out to my former co-worker, Cassie. She loves cruises. They go on like, I don't know, three, four a year. That is their jam. But I talked to her. Will she retire?
00:28:23
Have you seen the people that retire? Retire on a cruise ship? Dude, that'd be pretty badass. Would it? Yeah. You don't cook or clean. that right there is in itself is worth it you always have entertainment you're always usually in good weather there's always a pool imagine all the people you get to meet and hear about oh god yeah it'd be crazy i mean i think it'd be really expensive would it be cheaper than like like a retirement home i don't know you'd have for the ones i heard it was like some of it was cheaper like based on what they were doing and like what you would get yeah compared to these retirement homes you know how expensive those fucking things are but the problem is when okay so like when you dock or whatever i don't think there's any way to pull it off where it's like you get off and then right onto another one so you've also have those layover stays in a hotel or like so you know what i mean there'd be a lot of planning and figuring out you'd have to do if only you had time amen i mean you got me there only had time i just i like have you you guys have both been on cruises right i've been on one okay did you stay in like the cream of the crop room or were you in a standard state cabin uh were you rowing i was in the bottom of the ship with the rats yeah because i mean we when we went we didn't get any sort of upgraded room it was a basic room yeah um i've heard if you get a better room it's more enjoyable the thing is there's certain rooms where you pay more for and it's like you literally just have a window so like you see the water but that's it and i'm like i don't understand why this was worth 400 more dollars it doesn't do
00:29:54
now there are the ones where you have a little bit of a deck but even then it's not like you have a lot of room you're just able to sit but i i do see the appeal of that one but still to me like i just didn't enjoy i enjoyed it in some ways and i was glad i did it but i would rather go to like an all-inclusive in mexico or something sure yeah see this is where i feel like i'm just getting older like you know i mean like i wanted to so when i was younger i want to go on someone so bad we never did and then ashley would with getting motion sickness it was like a no we're never a waste but that was i'm getting older and like she's got the relief band now where she could go do it i'm like yeah i'm not really not really feeling it you know what i mean and yeah and that'd be the motion sickness i was never even worried about i've never been motion sick so i was like whatever the last night we were like watching a production you know they're dancing and singing or whatever.
00:30:50
I guess it was choppy seas or whatever. You don't notice it too much, but I saw the giant stage lights swaying. I was like... Then I saw someone go like this. I was like... I was out. I went to the room and I slept for 18 hours. It felt like shit. That's different. Ashley gets motion sickness. She's not going to sleep. She's throwing up for... It hits her in a way that is. Not like, poor Ashley. She slept for a while on the trip. it's like debilitating sick like yeah yeah so that was like the thing where it's like it's not just like i don't feel good i'm gonna lay down yeah well this is yep all-inclusives it is then right so but i'm the same way i'd rather do all-inclusives but then yeah my feet anchor i don't know hey as long as i can stand when i can piss in the water you know what i mean because we know i'm not floating and doing it so but you can piss anywhere guys except the shower so we do have a few emails we probably need to get out of the way we should let's get to them you want to read them area yeah all right so this one's from our friend adam hold on i should say quick sorry if these are a few these might be a couple weeks old because we've been getting through other stuff oh yeah definitely we've had so over the last couple weeks we have not gotten into the emails too much because we've got some guests and we also used a backup episode.
00:32:19
That was a full episode, which we pissed some people off on that one. I got some comments online and then some direct ones. Are you fucking out of your mind? I got a lot of direct ones. Did you? They're like, how the fuck? And I'm like, hey, guys, I don't know. Well, my response was the same thing. I don't know. I didn't feel great about it, but I don't know how we got there, but we did. But that's what happened. But I still stand by it. Yeah, it's fine. Listen to the episode. You see how we got there. Yeah, I think we created a good bracket. The funny thing is, I bet we could run that same bracket back with just us three, and it would be different.
00:32:48
Yeah. Probably. Yeah. And I would like it for the record that there was comments about the person that won saying he never did stand-up. Bullshit. You can look on it. He did something the West Tour. Vince Vaughn? Yeah. 30 days and 30 nights. Him and the group, and they did a... Thanks for backing me up, because I spent all of 10 minutes on my Google search to find out that he was a comedian. Nope. Erik thoroughly vetted these guys. They did a 30-day, 30-night tour, and it was during COVID, which is why it probably wasn't as popular. You know why he didn't hear about it as much as it was? So if it was during COVID, he was already in the universe.
00:33:27
Yeah, he was already established then. Yes. So we could be still in contention, so he wasn't necessarily maybe a comedian-turned-actor. Oh, I forgot that one. Ah, fuck off. Well, whatever. they were saying the some of the comments were never even been and so that's not true yeah so anyways sorry okay i digress make your own bracket make your own bracket get your own podcast yeah you put in the time yeah all right so um adam what up you adhd having motherfuckers very true tracking right along um it's okay i have it too. This is a long one, so focus. I need to correct Mike on last week's episode.
00:34:15
So this is a while back. But on last week's episode, he said it was my fault that the raccoon got in TJ's car. It is his fault. But you all know we can't trust his memory. That's also true. But I'm pretty confident on that one. Pretty confident. If you go back to the episode, you're like, we all argued about who left the window open. Because I guarantee you... to take that bullet, so I'm with you. I guarantee you to this day, someone knows. They know who did it, but no one's admitting it. Who's smoking a cig on the way up? That's the big thing, because that would have been back in the time when...
00:34:48
Yeah, it wasn't me. I don't think that would have been Adam either at that point. This was a long time ago. Yeah, I don't know. Alright. Adam says, he makes Dory look like she's got a photographic memory. Alright. You know what? It's funny about Adam. We've been texting all day today, and he's been nothing but sweet. He's just like, hey, buddy, if you want to hang out, fuck yourself. See, what he does is he's nice to your face and he's stabbing you in the back through email. He forgot he sent this email. Yeah, exactly. And I'm the one with the bad memory. The window open was the front passenger and Mike always got shotgun in TJ's car because I sucked at calling shotgun since I always drove.
00:35:29
I thought it was the back passenger window that was left open. Look, there's holes all over the story. There's holes all over the story. And I would ask TJ, but his memory is just as bad as mine. So, again. Either way, it's a great story. I'll leave it up to a 50-50 coin flip. It was Adam or I. I'll end it on that. Okay. On that note, Mike always played DJ in TJ's car using the big book of CDs. Remember those? Oh, God. Yeah. Specifically, Mike always played the song Steal My Sunshine by Len. Love that song. And I fucking hate that song. And you know why I played it all the time? Because I worked at Gadzooks, and we had to flip the VHS tapes every time I'd run out.
00:36:04
But that song was on every VHS tape. I don't know why. It was just like the song of the summer those years. VHS tape? That's a movie. They do like videos? Yeah, they have videos. At Gadzooks they had TVs. But like in our closet, yeah, it'd be music videos. I gotcha. He says, do you guys have songs that you hate for any reason and immediately get pissed when you hear it? I do. He says what yours is, but I'm going to let you say it. I knew it right away too. but it's either nirvana or ugly kid joe no oh oh oh my immortal hold on i honestly i know but that a specific thing to a person his wife and i wasn going to bring that up on here He said I mad that he brought it up And now it got read on the podcast I not happy about that at all What a dickhead.
00:36:59
I knew you didn't like it. No, I hate that song. And I hate it because of his wife. Because Kelly, when we lived together way back in the day, would listen to it on repeat day after day after day. And I was like, I'm going to jump out of the fucking window if I keep hearing the song. I love you, Kelly. she made me want to jump out a few windows in my lifetime too so i'll finish his email and then i'm gonna ask you what your what your song is but he says keep up the chaotic shit when can we expect a three episode night never not happening i think the world's ready for that one i was gonna say okay so what i don't know if i have a oh i i hate lots of songs or a certain artist where like you just don't like i don't hate nirvana as a band i just don't like kirk humane's voice i never did yeah that's it i know they're good man i don't know mine's more of a i'm gonna have to think about it a little bit more because i mean i love all genres of music and cross the board but right trying to think of one that like other people like that i just like people turn a song like i used to love dave matthews and then i can't stand it because but that had to deal with someone that i was dating that loved you know i mean and then so then i put a bad taste in my mouth bro same and then but yeah right yeah we're in the same one there but then now it's been so long that i'm like i hear it i'm like i like some of that shit so then i have yeah a bunch of it back again once that i know there are certain songs that it's like i while it brings up a weird time or something yeah it's like there's still these ones like yeah i'm always gonna like that song number 41 is good and there was a song that
00:38:31
was always my bad luck song that like it used to be the point like it don't stop even by journey just guessing no um like if it would fucking play and i would hear it i'd be like something bad's gonna happen like i would always like um but then i heard the other day and it was one of those like oh my god seriously and then nothing bad happened so i think i you broke the curse hell yeah well so we just oh you go ahead um mine's anything by red hot chili peppers really i fucking hate them like i there there's like one or two songs that like i don't hate sure but like in general i don't like them i actually kind of get it though i kind of do too but everybody looks at me like in shock like how do you hate them but i'm the same there's a few songs where it's like i don't mind them and there's a couple i even like that it's not bad but overall i've just never been super into them like a lot like a lot of other people have yeah see like van morrison like i don't i'm not a huge like any of us like i'm not why you're my brown I grow. Yeah, I know, but it's still just not much. I don't know.
00:39:36
That's just one that I think about that a lot of people like. I mean, that is one that almost everyone likes. Well, just like a big, you know. They also just have the big songs. Everyone knows all the words. Well, it doesn't have to be something somebody likes. Well, I don't know. I guess I'm caught off guard and I'm not prepared to answer this. We're going to be sitting here a long time. It's going to be just quiet air here. What it's going to be is Midnight Tonight he's like just about to fall asleep and he's like fucking yeah hey why didn't i fucking say that song i don't know what it is i don't like it he's gonna be like oh kelly clarkson do not talk about my girl love kelly clarkson all right um you guys want another one uh yeah yeah move on well uh this is from kelly oh love you hey gents if it has my immortal in it just move to the next hey gents adam and i recently watched america's team on netflix if you haven't watched it uh do it last dance vibes all the way oh i did see that which one's america's team it's about the dream team about the cowboys and oh is it that one i think so with jerry oh isn't it i i don't think i've watched that hold on i can look it up you can keep reading yeah yeah or you you look it up i'll keep reading all right any it is i bet it is yeah anywho i had a question thinking about all the epic players from the 90s that were a part of the dynasty what starter coats did you own oh yeah it definitely
00:41:08
was a cowboys yeah um did you own more than one and which one were you more proud of i think it's kind of what she's saying here um so what starter coats did you own and i had i had a cubs one and i had a raiders one by the way i was never a fan of the raiders but it was cool to have a raider starter jacket and that's why i had one i had notre dame that's the only one i had yeah because they're expensive yeah and i was like one of the last ones to get it too like by the time i got you got on the way out right like the starter jacket i was like literally on the way out like i got it for like one season and then yeah bullshit it flipped on me i had a cheap's one did you and i wish i still had it because i would like wear it if it fit so one of my buddies had the coolest one which shout out to doc um used to have the uh god it was a hockey one just fucking chicago blackhawks was no it was a black one what was san jose what was sharks yeah he had a fucking sharks one and his wasn't the pullover one it was like a zip up one like long like it was fucking badass and he looked like he looked like such a gangster that like yeah it was badass so shout out to you doc it was like it was one of the coolest ones that he had like it was yeah like a cool one that he saw yeah i'm surprised i even knew that because i don't know shit about hockey yeah i could probably not name six hockey i don't even know how i picked that up but yeah it was the sharks in the head because it was like it's not their logo is like the shark biting the stick and it was like yeah yeah yeah that's cool yeah all right uh kelly says hope that wasn't too
00:42:43
many questions for you sean teehee um can't wait to see your names in shining lights because you guys are also hilarious stop it okay keep going okay so we got a couple more we don't have to keep diving into emails but um yeah whatever you guys think no i'd keep going yeah just let's got one more well i mean they're a little old so yeah oh that's true we do need to kind of play catch up yeah well the people put in the work to give us the email that we want we got to talk we got to read these babies and i like them all right um ben barry what up producer ben joe yep what up boys well i think i've heard enough would you rather to last a lifetime there you go So there's the family complaining.
00:43:31
Got it. Hey, Ben, all I have to say is this. I agree, Ben. I agree. All I have to say is it's your cousin, bro. I don't know. I got nothing. So he gave us a whole list of is it still cool ideas. So I think we'll maybe dive into a couple and then we'll save some for future. Yeah, if he gave us a list, let's have a couple so we can save them as we've been wanting to add more ones on to. So I think this one will spark some interesting debate. Is it still cool? to wear jeans oh because kids don't anymore he says i have teenagers i think they both own like one pair they're definitely part of my wardrobe but my kids don't seem to wear them at all and i can say the same thing oh yeah no we like cooper has to dress up for football and it was like home games he had to be like fully like dress pants and then for away games or vice versa one of the two he wore jeans in his jersey and he's like i don't have jeans i'm like well you want to wear and he was like they're so uncomfortable i'm like i think they're great like okay but do you wear stretchy jeans yeah yeah that's a game changer i i started getting the stretchy ones maybe like five years ago i hated jeans before i always wore them but i hated them once you get the stretchy ones it's i've worn jeans my whole life like i always had same but i did think they were constricting and annoying i feel like i always had expensive jeans though like relative you know like not crazy but it's not like a ton of them but like well that's what all i wear now is buckle yeah but um i would have like lucky jeans when those came out i had those i think i just always bought
00:45:09
my jeans at the buckle yeah my favorite part was the unzip and it said lucky you like oh god yep like such a fucking what a fucking player with my jeans the only person that saw that sign was me i was just gonna say like me too i was the only one that saw it yeah exactly but yeah um but but yeah kids don't like so layla just now started getting into them logan didn't until he started working basically like every now and then there'd be a reason we had to buy him a pair and he would outgrow him in two months but yeah now it's only even now he only wears them to work he never wears them otherwise he's 18 audrey wears them like but they're always like tore up oh yeah it's like yeah annoying to me but whatever it's a girl thing yeah whatever um jack like doesn't wear them doesn't like them at all but then i'm like so we we're going somewhere you know we we need him to look like halfway nice yeah we're gonna go to a nice restaurant can't wear sweat like i'm wearing nice looking jeans and a collared shirt right yeah don't you can't wear sweatpants what are you what are you gonna wear yeah there's not there's not like an alternative other than slacks you're not wearing those so well and he doesn't he just doesn't own any of them because he doesn't want any yeah i mean and it's hard to buy just to have for the one i don't know i mean cooper's like what do you mean it's i got my goat sweatpants on like so they look really good you know like it matches really good that's the thing it's like it's about the dressed up as we get here at least like jack's age like cooper's still growing so it sucks like
00:46:40
you buy a pair of jeans and he's out of it so fast yeah but like jack and logan they're probably about done yeah you can hit them with one pair that they can ride for a while yeah have for that's the problem is i bought them for him before and then he outgrows them yeah it's kind of like the black suit everybody needs a black suit just for funerals and weddings you're good to go right exactly yeah it covers all the bases yeah yeah okay um so by the way it's still cool i'm gonna steal this since you're not drinking yeah go for it oh me too too is it synchronized cracking there dude it feels so tiny yeah like i feel like it's like a hobbit beer you know what they say i like a chick with small hands it makes my dick look bigger right that's why i say like nail i love nice nails they look good around cans so but it's also like it's just like a low abb beer it's weird they're like this is the one we have to make tiny you know what i mean it's just like the lucky jeans you're the one that says no not you your hands are too big maybe that's why nobody saw my sign all right uh i got another one here he says okay and this is up for debate he says hackensack it's like one word so it could have been a uh voice to text but it's hacky sack is what i think he's saying here so no one ben joe no german version no ben joe he was using voice to text or voice to whatever yeah so so hacky sack is that still cool i can't tell you the last
00:48:15
time i saw someone own one or playing it i also hated it my entire life i just didn't have the coordination no like i'm not super uncoordinated but i couldn't do it i don't know what it was you'd watch people just like keep it up on their own for 15 minutes i'm like i can't do that i just always had other shit to do no like it just wasn't like i gotta go no it's like kicking around the circle just wasn't like yeah like we were always playing basketball or doing something like like if we were hanging it wasn't getting in a circle to kick a ball around or a little bag around sean hates hippies i mean we liked it because like a basketball you need a basketball hoop or football you need another person like it was kind of like you could just have a couple of people standing around in a small area even inside.
00:49:04
And just kind of start kicking around. Just never. Not my jam. Also, wasn't it when you dropped it, like someone got to beam it at you? Or am I just thinking there's always house rules. I remember playing with some buddies and like I sucked and they just kept getting beamed with a fucking, and that shit hurt, man. There's a reason that they, you know, the non-lethal thing to shoot people with is mini beanbags. Not that I've had that happen. Cooper and his buddies play sting pong. ping pong and then if you screw up yeah sting oh sting so then if you miss it then you have to go against wall and they smack them fuck really it comes almost like well we're playing sting pong oh my god okay but i just saw two guys on an ice rink doing that with hockey sticks and it was like they rock paper scissored and whoever won quickly grabbed their gloves and the thing and while the other guy bolts and tries to get as far away as possible and then And they were just dropping each other.
00:49:59
But I've also seen it with golf balls, and I'm like, I'd rather get hit. Yeah, I've seen it with golf balls, too. Dude, I don't want to get hit by golf balls. This is a ping pong, so it just stings. Yeah. At least with a ping pong ball, you're not going to die. No, exactly. Take a golf ball to the back of the head. It's not good. We always love tacky sack, but I don't think that it's still cool. I hope somebody tells me that there's still people playing it. I would love to hear that. I've never even seen it happen. more but of course that's the thing man i just trying to think like i mean we were talking about gadzooks or we sold them and shit like at the counter like they were it was a big thing and it wasn't like you saw it played all the time but you saw it often enough and i feel like i haven't seen anyone playing it in 15 20 years we're old now i'll bring mine in next time i don't want to play i still have it i will throw it at you only if i drop it okay you You know what?
00:50:52
Now you understand why that made that cool. We're all old and shit. Our hips don't work right. He should totally bring it in. We should record like a 10 second videos of us even attempting to keep it there. It'd be atrocious. Yeah, it'd be pretty bad. Shaun's laid up for a month because he's played fucking hockey stats. Did he hit it? No, never, but he's real sore. He went for one guard. You threw out your back. What were you doing? Twisted an ankle. Yeah. Broke his collarbone. Yeah. ben sent this stupid email so we started playing hacky's oh you're oh you're far ben yeah i was gonna say okay selfie sticks remember when people had these everywhere no they've evolved though like i don't you don't see those now but i do see the you you're techie the ones where it's like it what is the word gyro yeah you know they keep steady while you're walking and stuff like that yeah but that's because everyone's on it so yes i remember they were like banned at disney world for a while because they got so big yeah yeah do you ever use one i have used one um i didn't care for it but i like i i also don't need to i have a selfie stick arms right yeah yeah my ass needs the selfie did you ever use one no so i remember getting one as a gift and trying to use it yeah and it just i felt stupid do you remember the meme that was going on forever back in the day where it was it's funny now because a lot's happened to diddy since then but there's like this 10 15 year old picture of diddy on like a cruise ship like going like this and it said like
00:52:23
if biggie could see this now he'd shoot himself and i was like oh he's not wrong like yeah i mean we saw where that got diddy so just saying selfie sticks turn into baby oil anyway who knows where that selfie stick was at i remember we i got one for some promotional thing i was at like a company thing and they gave them away and it came home and we hooked up our phone and did it and ashley's like they're kind of cool i'm like don't tell anybody like we don't get used these things yeah but yeah i i remember how big they were but again i guarantee people still use them but you don't see them as much but again you you actually were joking but you have a point you don't need one yeah right people like me need one that's why he always takes our selfies right well team selfies i think too like big arms how hard is it to just ask somebody to take your picture like if you're at a tourist thing and you can't get it oh yeah like i mean we were in portugal and i'm like okay we have a tour guide here we're paying him to give us a tour he'll take the picture just ask somebody and that's true and you don't have to ask a random stranger that's going to steal your phone and run away either but let's say you're like at the bar watching an iowa game like a group of like 12 yeah like i'm like i don't want to keep asking someone to take pictures or whatever yeah well there it wasn't our generation that started the selfie stick it was the people that can't ask other people oh that's a solid so by the time they got around us was because it's like i don't know all the kids are using these days with all the people that can't that's something they can't
00:53:55
heaven forbid ask to they can't somebody else to do something it's like just they're right there they'll do it all day long nobody can talk to if somebody asks you would you take their picture yeah well then fucking ask him like you're not asking me yeah that's why i've always told my kids like we're gonna say is no and then you're still in the same position you're in i feel like we're having i'm having deja vu on this conversation i don't know if it was on the podcast or just i don't think so but like yeah our children don't like have the courage you know most of the time to go yeah no ask so and and this is not sliding my son but he messaged me today and he's he just said like hey can you because he threw away the sheet from the last time he got like an oil change or whatever and they said like hey here's where your breaks and stuff are so we knew he you know he needs new breaks soon but he's like can you remember what they said and i said no and he goes well i threw away the sheet and i'm like well next time just put it in your glove box or whatever he goes can you call and ask and i was like i will give you this one but i go you're 18 now and you have to start doing this stuff he goes bruh and he goes you're right though so it's like he owned it he's like i said i'll do it one more time but i'm like dude you gotta get used to making your doctor's appointments you know like i don't mind doing it but the longer i do it it's going to be even weirder for you down the road you got to start doing it yeah there's there's people who can order pizza over the phone no that one thing ashley has been good at she would always make the kids order their own food so they knew how to yeah it good for you never order from so that part of it now they a lot more comfortable that sort of stuff yeah one more than the other but sure yeah yeah logan like now that he in the service industry he not shy at all
00:55:28
and like layla's gotten better she'll order her own food and stuff but she's still more shy than he is but sure that just made what about just like i pull up to the gas station go get what you want here's some money will they do it logan well uh lately i don't know because i've never done that you know now that i think about it i do i do all that but the kids go on their own like they go to games and stuff at the high school like they're like yeah yeah once they so they know they know what they're doing and yeah i was like no cash cooper's like i got apple pay you know like all right i'm also how that works i like running errands so like we already talked about this DoorDash thing on the podcast but Schulte just posted a couple days ago on Facebook Saying like this is how much an order Would have been but this is how much it was DoorDash So it was like a fucking $25 Difference and I was like dude I've never DoorDashed for that reason I'm like I just can't Justify it in my head but I don't Mind going places I'll run to the store seven Times in a day if I need to I don't care So I think that's the thing is If me and me like I just don't mind I'm always on the go Like yeah I don't know why but yeah I don't enjoy it but I don't it doesn't bother me at all no also it helps i live like five minutes from hyvee and anything i need to get to true but to be different so i i almost commented on his thing and i was like i don't want to get into debates with people but and not with mike but just say yeah um if you order through the restaurant you will get the proper pricing yes and they can still use whatever
00:56:59
delivery service they want to deliver to you if they offer that service so if they do for an example instead of going to doordash and ordering chili's or go to chili's and order delivery oh right right right they will then call doordash and get it handled and you will pay the regular price it's not going to be well you're still paying delivery fees and all this you're still paying more but the menu item's not they're not marking up the items so there's things like that that it's like that's helpful but really the main reason that i like to use that is you know we've had some drinks and i don't want to be driving to go get no sure yeah that's typically when i use it no say i get to go food all that like if the kids want something i'm like yeah i just call it in i'm like i'll be right back well knowing our listeners like to have some drinks too you're welcome you're welcome you just got the tip eric you're welcome you just did it but now i want to see this is where my mind oh i want to go to mike's i want to be like what's the place and then like see if we can you know hack the system there how do we get no so like here's the price of ordering it directly from the restaurant picking it up yourself oh here's the price ordering it through doordash here's the price ordering it through the restaurant for delivery that's a good idea and is it all three do a lot is it i kind of fell asleep halfway through that story because it's all this like process we should try this we should try this and i'm like or we just fucking eat because you know like what are we doing here this is why i'm not wasting my time this is why sean says i like going on vacation with eric because he's got all that shit figured out i'm not running tests and trials in this bullshit. I just figured I was doing that thing
00:58:30
where he's like just thinking about what he wants to say next. He's zoned us out. I'm not in this conversation at all and I hate it. Hey buddy, I will say the thing I love about you is that you own it. You're like I bet that was a great story. I stopped listening to you five minutes ago. I want to talk about this. There's a multiple process trying to figure out Yeah, I just wasn't Yeah, I don't know. It sounds fun to some people. I'm just not the audience for it. Clearly, yeah.
00:58:57
Okay. One last one. Oh, one more email? No, from his list, and we'll get to the rest of the stuff. We'll have to save the rest of the stuff. Yeah. And there's not too many more on the list. We'll come back to it, but he gave us some awesome jokes, all kinds of great stuff. Remote producer Ben, thank you for all the great stuff. He was on one, huh? Yeah, we'll come back to it. Curve TVs. These were a thing for a while. I never had one, but they were popular also with 3D TVs. He said, I don't even like 3D in the theater because i can pay it i can't pay attention to what the story is as much yeah you're fucking around looking at the kind of two different things but let's start with the curved tvs do you think it's i never had one i never had one i don't want to switch it already but like curve monitors like for gaming and stuff like that were more of what i knew what was the point about like what was the i don't know like was it a better picture was it a the idea is you're a little more immersed so you're not panning as far to see the picture i think but like i get that with gaming and why that's probably so i just like a tv still across i don't know yeah i can see the benefit with a monitor because you're closer to it you should be kind of like right here but so are those even still a thing i feel like i don't see i don't know that i've seen one so they tried them and it failed and it's probably gone now for the most part because gaming curved gaming monitors are still those are still a thing well and some people i don't know either what about 3d tvs i don't they i remember walking through well here's sears when that was still around god you're old no shit just kidding because it's been closed for a while but they had a 3d one and like
01:00:29
somebody would be going to do something i'm like i'm gonna go watch the 3d tv shark week i put it on like it was always like the it was always the uh college football national title in 3d yeah it was usc versus texas like that awesome like national title game yeah and that was like what they had i'm like yeah i fucking watched it probably 100 times that's seriously like it in But I never bought a 3D TV Nor would I 3D like where they're like running out of the screen Yeah it was like the players were They weren't coming at you Because it wasn't about when you see a normal 3D You know to get you to Dodge river But when you looked at it It was like they were It looked like you were sitting in your seat But you had to wear glasses I hate 3D movies because I have prescription glasses So I have to wear them in front of my fucking glasses It sucks I think I've seen maybe two movies like that And the only one I remember was Jackass 3D Which sucked Because there's like an explosion of dildos And like just dicks are coming at you And you're like what the fuck It legit happens in the movie And I'm in the theater just like You know Alright Shaun would have been like This is great Got it I couldn't help it it was right there but yeah no i'm good but i don't need 3d yeah i try to avoid them um all right he's googling jackass 3d right now i have three of them in my house just because it
01:02:04
came with it like 3d tvs yeah no i have two sorry i have two 3d tvs because it just happened to be like at some point it was technology that was just added really yep so you can like turn it on or off no or just if you watch something in 3d then yeah you have to like put on a 3d program or something like that yeah and then you put on the glasses i just i just threw away the glasses i don't use them yeah well well you should get some and watch jackass 3d so i saw this thing it was this uh tiktok it was called management jackass like welcome to management jackass like he said i'm about to go into a meeting with people that have real lives mortgages real things to be stressed about and i'm about to ask him what's the most interesting fact about you welcome to management jackass or something so he has all these things about how i have seen a trend going on right now where it's like people about to piss off their wives like i saw one today where a guy was like hey we're having a big uh party all my wife's friends are over i just poured the short shot of malort and i'm gonna go tell her it's tequila welcome to jackass you're like well i want to see the rest of it what the yeah it's like poking the bear and i'm like i kind of want to do some of those i can't talk about them i'll record them and then yeah we'll talk about that makes sense yeah have you seen the ones where they're like here uh here's three shots of tequila and one shot of more tell me which one's the more i did i saw it
01:03:35
yeah it was it the one i saw was all rumplements and like the guy drank him well he's like they were all rumplements and he's like yeah you're gonna be like shit soon see i'd be like this is great you remember for mine i was like psycho hating the tequila so that's why that clip of like us drinking it and i'm gagging going like this although you're like that's my lord baby so not to change the topic completely but thursday we went down to or Wednesday we went to a tasting at Benz oh the whiskey yeah it was fucking awesome but I tried a tequila oh the peanut butter peanut butter tequila so Brian yes we need to get some peanut butter tequila Shadler was there and he was pouring it and uh they actually like ran out of it really fast yeah dude it was fucking it didn't even taste like tequila like I wanted to buy it so bad and he's like I'm out but that was yeah but he said they do have it in stock Benz is getting more and he's got it to Oakland Road, I believe.
01:04:31
Okay. I can't remember the name of it. It had like a funky looking label because it was almost like cartoony kind of. It can't be that much. I don't think, and so I think if we go into Benz and just ask for it then. I don't know what you would use that for. I don't either. Drinking it. Just drinking it. Well, it's like peanut butter whiskey. At the end of the day, that's too good. I'm like, well, okay, but like why not just drink Screwball then? I think it's probably cheaper than Screwball, but I don't know. Well, maybe. It didn't taste bad. I'll tell you that. Well, in tequila, process through your system better than whiskey.
01:05:00
Allegedly. Until you add a fucking boatload of sugar to peanut butter. Come on. Let me believe my own story here. It makes us skinny. I agree. Thanks, Santa, Shaun. Tune back in. I'm glad you said that, though. I forgot about that. Yeah. It was a good time there. That was the biggest shocker that I had because there was a lot of really good whiskey and everything.
01:05:24
I know. I'm trying to think of if anything. I get hit with the old peanut butter tequila. I was like, whoa. There's this great place out of California that's there every year and everything. What's that guy's name? I can shout out the distillery because I took a picture. Not the guy's name, the skill. I was like, Chris? I don't know. He looked like an Adam. Even at Absinthe. Did you go back and get that? No, I tried and the line by that point was so long. I was like, no. Oh, St. George. uh since 1982. Yeah it's one of the oldest 1982. That's what it well that's I thought or 1882. Oh maybe it's 1882. I think it's 1882 because he said it was one of the oldest. He said they're in California then they're like 82 doesn't seem like that old. Yeah they're based out of like an old airplane hanger and then they outgrew that. I don't dude everything they brought they had like a coffee liqueur they had peach pear. We were running the gauntlet and it was kind of like so we're just going to stop here because I mean yeah we didn't need to go there's plenty more to see and have and and that same guys are like every year i remember him from last year and he's he's just so good and knowledgeable about everything you talked about like that for anyone that goes to the ben's whiskey which they do it every year it's always i believe it's always on wasted wednesday the wednesday before thanksgiving yeah is that what you call it wasted wednesday that's what i've heard it called blackout wednesday yeah i've heard that too i've only ever wasted wednesday i like them both yeah i like not working the next day i don't know and people still do that like our age still do that go out to the bars on we did so i never i didn't
01:06:59
get to forever obviously because kids right um but this year i was able to go and i mean it was it was a great time we went over to the keg yeah shout out yeah uh and we rolled we rolled into solon and met with a couple other people at a bar and then all of a sudden we're sitting there and looking around and i'm like it was clearly like a reunion and so on i'm like we gotta get the fuck oh no like literally it was like looking around like it's time to go so it was like 10 o'clock was a cutoff we had to be out yeah and it made sense you started seeing people and i'm like we yep this is this is if i go back home i do like if i go back home i go yeah you know everybody goes up there we don't i'm not the only one that does that we're like i walk into a bar certain bars are so homey like i have my bar that i go to right we all have like a bar we prefer but there's certain ones you're going to and you can just see like oh fuck i know him him him so it's like i know what this is i don't like any of you i'm gonna go am i the only one that's not the night it's just like there's certain groups of people where like i haven't seen them since high school and by the way they like there's like almost no nice way to say this and none of them know who i'm talking about them but like they haven't changed does that make people from high school yeah oh like so just the fucking douchebags that you roll in you're like yeah i've never liked this like remember back in the day when we would go out to like blarneystone and stuff and like that group would roll in they were just like wanting to get in fights and shit like that and like they're still being those people you're like oh no yeah so i was like i'm gonna go speaking of that is there anything more douchey than fucking going out to a bar
01:08:32
older looking for a fight no no yeah it's that's about as douchey it's up there like i mean that has to be about the trashiest thing just a full-on douche yeah yeah like there's this guy i remember and I won't say his name, obviously, but back in the day, he'd run in and let's say a fight broke out and he's over here. It has nothing to do with it. He would just run over there when people were distracted and just jack someone in the face. Fight! Run over! Get one cheap shot in and then run out of the bar. And you're like, what are you doing? What is wrong with you, man? If you have a reason to get to fight, that's one thing.
01:09:08
I do get that, but you're just a douchebag. I don't, man. It's peace and love. No, I said earlier you hate hippies. You can't say that. I identify with them. That works. You guys ready for a dad joke? Yeah, let's do it. Wait, are we going to try a little of this? Yeah, we should definitely do that. I think we can do it after the episode. Let's talk about it so everybody knows what we're talking about. We got a nice little barrel pick from Benz Beverage Depot, our friend over at Benz. Who we were just talking about. Yeah, we got some Blanton's Gold store pick. Blanton's Gold? I mean, I'm just saying.
01:09:50
How pretty is that horse? Not only does Erik have the smooth voice, but he knows how to get us the booze, too. He's a man of many talents, as his wife says. Many talents. She can confirm. Shout out, Aaron. She can confirm. I'm guessing spending money on booze would be one of the things she would ask me to stop having a talent to that. Maybe we should stop talking about it on air. that'd be a great idea that'd be a good start hey you got to be attracted to both sides right guys can respect the guy who spends a bunch on whiskey and ladies love that voice just do that thing where you're like it's not meth that beats all arguments you know what i mean some people collect baseball cards some people collect 90 bottles of whiskey it's mine yeah um you don't have to give the amount dickhead anyways go ahead don't worry it was way more than that nobody knows exactly um All right.
01:10:42
So did you guys hear about what happened with the scientists lately? They tried to breed a cheetah and a crab.
01:10:55
That shit got sideways real quick. Oh, because a crab can walk sideways and a cheetah is very fast. I feel dumber having heard that. I'm so mad right now. That shit got sideways. Because a crab moves fast. Oh, fast because the cheetah. Wow. I'm done.
01:11:19
Normally it's me. He's going to need more time. I do owe him a really easy one. He's going to need more time. You say you owe me an easy one. It's been like nine weeks of this bullshit. Why can't we just get like a... Why do you make a Kinox dance? Put a little boogie in it. You know, like something like throw me a softball just to calm me down. what did one slice of bread say to the other before the race before the race oh no oh folks he's stumped i'm gonna toast you yeah you're toast i'm back baby see everybody at home i told you i'm decent at this my favorite part was what he said the other day care is like you are good this you're like i know right will you please tell them I drive by the Nesca sign and I get 90% of those.
01:12:08
Okay. I am good at this. It's not bullshit. I've been dad long enough. Well, fellas, I think it's time to try some of this Blanton. So what do we say? Yeah. So thank you guys all for listening. We appreciate it again for the, you know, on the socials. We appreciate everything going on with the vids and the clips and all the shares and likes. And again, if you guys have any emails, we love reading them on air. So please email us at we're still cool, right at gmail.com. Yeah. And if you see the stuff out there, please share it along with the videos that Erik's been putting out there. We're trying to bump up some of those numbers, and it's been a lot of fun.
01:12:43
I've got a lot of good feedback. Or if you don't like our drafts or if you don't like our picks or you don't like anything you want to comment on, we'll take that too. Yeah. Yeah, feel free in the emails. Tell us stuff that you liked on the episodes, and we'll make sure we get clips done for them. I've had a couple of requested clips come through that have been pretty fun. So let us know if there's anything. I don't know if anyone knows this, but I love Shufa Hiramu. More than just my wife making fun of me, because sometimes my tongue gets a little fat. I can't talk.
01:13:12
Back to back. He has a nut allergy, ladies and gentlemen. Leave him alone. Sometimes I can't pronounce superhero. Right. Or a few other things that you'll notice on here. My wife will point it out, though. I'll be on there because it's her favorite part. She rewinds it, and then I come in. She's laughing. My favorite was someone in the comments of you messing up those words was like, I think I need some backstory. She's like, oh, don't worry. I'll tell you. So anyway, get them, Ashley. Whatever. But lastly, we got some big changes coming up, so everybody stay tuned. And yeah, we'll see you soon.
01:13:42
See you guys. Cheers, guys.
