Yes! Totally forgot about this. This is amazing. How could you forget I just listened to the car? How could you forget? The intro's so crazy, too. I listened to that, or I just listened to that before we went to the bar. Are we recording? Yeah. Oh, shit. Hold on. Wait. Can you guys bring a minute? I can do the actual one. No, no, no, no, no, no, fuck it. Fiddy pack! Okay, go ahead. What'd you say? Fiddy pack! Fiddy pack. Oh.

Unpies. It's called a callback. You should try one some. Fiddy pack! Fiddy pack! Welcome to We're Still Cool, Right? The weekly podcast where the conversation flows smoother than top-shelf whiskey. And cool, well, it never really left. Grab a drink and hang out with Erik, Mike, and Shaun. while they dive into nostalgia and attempt to answer the age-old question. We're still cool, right?

Alright, so I didn't know we were recording, so hey, welcome back, baby! Hey guys, let us know if you like the new intro. I'm sure we'll stop the old intro. It's where we peaked? Right.

Yeah, it's so sick. It is going to be blaring on the boat all summer like that is going to be the I Can literally Shaun like coming out like once you get every coach every call coming in We'll play it so it's blaring in there. We can hear it and then watch me take off. I love it. I can't fucking wait. Yes Hey, we're back People start throwing shit at me. You're not cool at all. You fat fuck Call me fat that actually hurts Not the first time we've been called fat on here boys won't be the last either. That being said, we're ready to roll. We're off to a bumpy start. Yeah. That'll happen. It's been a couple of weeks.

It has been. Yeah, we've had a lot of shit going on. All four of us. So, I mean, fucking Logan just got in it. Well, he just got back to town an hour ago. That's what he told me. Out in Chi-Town watching the Cubs. Oh man, they sucked so bad. Dude, it's been a rough couple games. But it was the first time that we've ever been like down on the main level oh yeah we were right between home plate and first and it was like it was a great great yeah yeah it was a lot of fun yeah it's just way more fun when they win somebody's throwing their dick around this room right now look at that yeah right you know elephant trunk over here um but usually we're like up in the nosebleeds yeah yeah um but it was like gorgeous night soup nice breeze coming through 37 000 people in attendance it was a mess that's awesome it was really cool dude night games are regular the fucking and my night game yeah yeah dude i love night games so much i don't know if i don't know if i've been to a night game really yeah i mean the lights is just like something different i know but there's also something awesome about a 120 start when you started drinking at like nine in the morning you know that's what i've actually done is like afternoon yeah afternoon game but you've been drinking since 10 at least there's no feeling like the cubby bear after a cubs win when you walk in and everybody's just it's just nuts to butts oh i just come in there and like yeah that is what's the like hawkeye bar that's like diagonal across from the stadium oh i don't know we stopped we've stopped in there a lot yeah it is awesome i normally hit up cubby bear and then murphy's bleachers yeah i mean like obviously obviously it's sides but it's been a long time since i've

been there it's not the same now i haven't been there since the ricketts family owns it like i then they change all that stuff so yeah that's and i used to go all the time that's how long it's been since i've been in the cubs game so yeah but straight to chicago and went like straight right there and bought $50 worth of beer. We were like, no, no more beer. It's like two beers, $50. Ouch. Oh, it's brutal. Is that what it is now? Yeah. Oh, it's crazy. I think it's like $21 a beer or something like that. Yeah. Maybe $22. I can't remember. It's a lot. There's no way I can't not drink it on there. That's why.

That's the problem. So is the rooftop the way to go? Is that still a feasible option? So we did the rooftop before all the time, because I remember it being $120 for the game, all you could drink and all you could eat yeah whoa yeah but that's how long ago it was at least three times that cost yeah i bet it's these are like the rooftops they're like across the street yeah yeah but now they but they're great seats they are actually you can see fantastic the one we always went to was right outside um which would be right fields pole so the foul pole on right field it was right outside that and we just go to it all the time and you could see amazing You know what I mean? But then all you could eat and drink It was wonderful. Now let me say this though I've been to, I always mess this up But I think it's 12 or 13 games They've never won when I'm there Really? I have not seen them win ever You fuck don't ever go back. That's the thing The last couple times we went I'm like guys you don't want to go with me I'm telling you right now. How many times have you gone?

I just said like 12 or 13 games Like you should go. It's a fuckload Yeah over like when I was young When my grandpa. For me it's like 3 or 4 And they didn't win but that didn't surprise me So I mean that is true most years i went they weren't great but still like you out of 12 to not win one that's even go in there in years either so i'm going to see him this year in a couple months but we're going to the brewer's stadium so yeah yeah which i've never been which i've heard it i've heard it's a blast i heard that stadium's actually in school i'm excited because i just love going to new stadiums so it's like i haven't been did i tell you i know there's a good bar uh near there that you can get a shuttle to the stadium and it's awesome oh you'll have to get that for me there you go yeah i was looking at the rooftop so sorry i keep cutting you off no i was looking at the rooftops it's only like 150 160 if we went in a couple of days no really yeah but then food is it and beer and beer uh food and drinks included yeah yeah what yeah there's no way awesome dude it is worth it you get fucking up if you're going with me i'll tell you that much like you guys doing tomorrow hey guys tell your friends about patreon so we can afford to go to what is it wriggly rooftops.com is that what it is yeah so i looked up the game that's uh friday night in two days and friday night yeah friday night oh dude that's cheaper than going to the bar way cheaper seriously that's blowing my mind right now anyway i mean our tickets were 100 bucks each right and i i paid another hundred dollars in food and beer right you know for two beers and

then some food stuff great seats though so killer i mean yeah so but you know yeah if you want you know if your plan is to drink a lot and you know have a good time with your friends and we used it so for a while there we were on the we were on the bachelor party kick so that's where we would always go before it became like you go somewhere for like a whole weekend or like that yeah like the biggest thing we we went to a cubs game and we'd stay one night and back out and it was so it was me and all my cousins that were in each other's weddings and we would seems like we were always at those things yeah and god damn that's where we used to go yeah we school the rooftops i I remember my dad.

Boy, that young lady makes a lot of money, doesn't she? Yes, Dad. Yes, they do. I go, what are you looking at? Well, hey, you know. What can I say, son? Oh, God. That was, yeah. All right. But I am staring at this drink. Would you guys like to take a drink of this drink that I'm already halfway done with? You motherfucker. Can we talk about this and give a shout out to Benz, our sponsor for this? Yeah. 5017th. So the drink of the week is sponsored by Benz Beverage Depot.

Big green building. No, we're going to go having said that. Having said that, we're going to talk about our Cedar Ridge barrel bourbon that is at Benz. You can get it. Hand selected by your boys. We went to Cedar Ridge. Fucking go. The reason I deviated from the drink, because this doesn't have that Cedar Ridge in it, is Benz sponsors us. But this one I got on my bike trip. so uh has nothing to do with ben's sorry but i got some blackberry wine and lemonade for you guys oh okay this was a drink that i found on my bike trip and it was fucking phenomenal it's a very good sipping drink um i got a blackberry wine from that's That's fucking good.

Fucking Adam Puta. Adam Puta. Blackberry Black. Adam Puta. What? This is in Herman, Missouri. What's the ABV on that bitch? Like 12%. I was going to say it's pretty light drink. 12 and a half. Okay. That's fucking good, dude. That's just juice. Yeah. It's delicious. Dude, literally. This is adult juice boxes is what this is. And you can juj it up with some vodka if you want, you know? That's fucking good. Yeah, no, this is delicious. I got a couple of bottles so we can refill it. And our pool. Open soon and all I'm sitting here thinking is a great summer drink really good in the pool Yeah, that will never be allowed on my boat because it's gonna stain every fucking seat with that color but Shaun loves things with dye in them and Nipples he needs a straw goes on easy with a straw That being said that is that's fucking good blackberry wine and lemonade what a simple fucking thing and that is that's a tasty dish.

But Ben sponsors us. Let's talk about this here. How fucking cool was it when we were obviously we were at Benz Beer Fest? You survived. And we did. Again. So this is officially the one that we've done after actually being there. And our barrel got done. Benz bought a Cedar Ridge barrel that we picked out, that we've talked about on here. And boys we got some good feedback while we were down there yeah we did so we the day of beer fest we had some of these at our table and we were uh sampling it for everyone and it went over amazing and then sean stopped in there today and heard we a lot of bottles sold that day yes but there are still some available we highly recommend to get out of bends because they are going fast especially because your boys are going to go in there and buy a lot soon too yeah i'm going in there tomorrow for six of them so so yeah i was just down there and it did it is moving and but But if you're interested in it and you like it, seriously, there is plenty of people at Beer Fest that are whiskey connoisseurs or bourbon connoisseurs, the whole deal.

And they were like, this is fucking good. We got a lot of compliments on it. And I think the big one was it's 118 proof, but it doesn't taste like it at all. You know what I mean? And it doesn't drink like it is. It's not super hot. It's well balanced. It's a little hot. It's a little hot on the front. But if you put it on a cube, it's fucking amazing. and boozier bourbons you need to put on a little bit of ice or just a drop of water however you like it but it i think it has a lot of good flavor when it opens i thought one of the best compliments or comments that we got was it's like two different whiskeys yeah from what it starts to where it finishes yeah because you expect it to be hotter and the finish but it's not so it's just a little warm on the lips first and then two for the price of one baby right yeah yeah so again you can only get it at ben's it's it's nowhere else so i mean you can't go to cedar ridge it's a collector's item and so you guys know like if you look it's hard to see the label like in the video here but we'll post some pictures and we're going to do a giveaway on patreon but um the label actually is we're still cool right so ben's being our sponsors enabled us to do this awesome bottle right but it is our bottle that we picked out as a group with matt from ben's and we want to share it with you guys so and they've run the cost for us yeah and matt that was amazing and helped us get this set up so but uh we're gonna give at least one bottom probably two away on patreon so if you sign up over there we can we're gonna do some giveaways and and they will sign

those bottles for you if you will hell yeah but if you are man that might make it worth too much but if you're not one to uh you know just run your chances on winning just swing on down to to ben's though they have cases ready there for you i can tell you for myself or they're it's sitting right there on the shelf and it's a very reasonably priced bottle of bourbon uh 59.99 i think is what matt has it placed at retail and uh for a single barrel that's very very well yeah yeah yeah we're proud of it we're proud of it for sure love you matt and ben's thank you guys so much it's fucking awesome fucking way awesome so i feel like we got to go back quick though to the whole opening. A little song.

That was new. We should probably talk about where the fuck that came from. Why Shaun's gonna be bumping that in the Ozarks all summer long. It was in the last episode. In the Patreon, we talked about it. It was on the Patreon, right? No, it's what finished the last episode. It just dropped today. People heard it. It was the end of it. Well, in my defense, it was a second episode, and I am very forgetful. We did not only two episodes, but two Patreon episodes. Two Patreons. Guys, Mike was a little banged up last week. Mike didn't drive okay so logan had some shit going on i was on a bike ride like we had some shit going on and this is going to be common throughout the summer we're going to have a couple of these double episodes and you're welcome yeah we have lives believe it or not okay so every time i get an email that you guys booked another session i'm like damn it i see eric's name pop up and i'm like just go away just go away three today two in a row i don't want to see you guys once today jesus christ yeah i mean sorry well because you booked this one yesterday and i was like i knew it I should probably take over the scheduling.

Erik's like, ah, I'll text him in the morning. It's fine. No big deal. We're besties. He's got nothing else going on. He only does every podcast in town and gets asked to go to Chicago to do shit and everything else. But he still has tons of free time. So feel free to come and book your show at Upload Media. I have time for you if you have money. If that's not a fucking marketing ploy, I mean, I love that. Good for you. love that yeah you know i love it we're out here living gotta pay to play baby amen amen all right so i saw something that cracked me up that feels like just a great thing to bring up on here i don't know i was scrolling through and it was one of those you know them me them i don't need to drink to have a good time me perfect you can drive us i feel like in this world a little bit of like the i don't drink kind of like a little bit rubbing in some faces or i quit drinking like this proud you know yeah i don't drink bola i love that perfect you can drive us i mean and i know a lot of people who have fell victim to that all right tough guy you're driving why can't you you just gave up the whole reason that you can't you're done yeah that popped up on us i'm like that sounds like a yeah perfect little number well it's like the tiktok you sent us today i think it was you that sent it and it was just like these two ladies our age right talking about when they were younger and their kids now are pussies they're great actually they are really good i mom so hard they they travel around like

they do live shows and shit like that yeah they've they've been around just talking about a long time getting after a bottle of boone's farm no one like having to scrape together like everyone to be like Like, okay, we're going to go to the liquor store and do some shooters. But then we're going to go to the club and buy one $8 drink. But we're going to split it. Because who has $8 for a drink? This is when we were young. You know what I mean? So, like, I can't imagine it now. But it is awesome to hear it. Figure it out. It is awesome to hear, like, from the mom's voice. You know, they're like, they mom so hard.

And they start off with, kids these days are pussies. We used to walk home in high heels. There was no cabs. There was no, you know, like, so. Anyway, search them on social. They're hilarious. But they've been doing it for a long time. They've had a podcast. I think for a real long time. Yeah and if you guys ever if anyone ever wants to DD for us email us We still cool right at gmail So We always accepting new drivers You feel like being a pussy I know So what else happened? I feel like there's been this bike trip that came out. Really, really important thing to note. It's okay if you don't want to drink.

100%. It's okay. Yeah. You will be driving. You will be driving. You will be driving. But also, don't talk about it like you're vegan. Exactly. Because vegans are better than us. Exactly. Dude, that's exactly how I feel. Imagine a vegan CrossFitter who doesn't drink. They would never shut up. Like, Jesus. Forget it. That is the difference, right? It's totally cool if you don't want to drink for whatever reason. But you don't need to make us feel bad. You're right. You don't have to drink. I get it. Right. I'm going to. Right. Yeah. I don't walk in and go, I drink. Yeah. I drink. No, because when you talk about not drinking, it's pretty obvious.

I'm going to listen to you like this. Uh-huh. I don't need to talk about it Yeah, I show you And you can show me that you don't drink by just Living your fucking life and being quiet I feel sorry for people that don't drink When they wake up in the morning That's the best they're going to feel all day That is the Rat Pack I don't remember who That was a quote from the Rat Pack I remember hearing that one Yeah, so you were gone, buddy How was your bike trip? uh i feel like you're home a little early yeah we got home a day early what happened a day or two early um well so he fell on his bike and broke his cock luckily didn't do that um no so uh great bike trip went as planned up until very close to the end so uh we we started our trip in uh Windsor, Missouri. Never heard of it. Yeah. It's the middle of fucking nowhere.

That's my favorite. It's very close to Sedalia, which is where they have the state fair. So that's a interesting note. I think that's where they have the state fair. It's a giant fairground. But essentially, last time we did the Katy Trail, we started in basically Kansas City and went all the way to St. Louis. And this time we're like, well, we've done it once before. We don't have to do the whole fucking thing and we're not camping and you know so we wanted different overnights and messing with stuff so we had a good time uh first day we dropped in um we left early so that uh john's mom could take the truck to st near the st louis area yeah because there's a lot of planning that goes on with this like yeah you obviously biking out there and starting you got absolute some logistics of how you get there and back and all that so um anyway we dropped the truck in windsor um but we basically did a short day the first day it was just 20 miles so lots of drinking in 20 miles for me that's like dude i did 20 miles today it's like spring break yeah here we go oh it's a day off let's get it we had a good time we stayed in this like antique uh right antique but like a really old school hotel um it basically took quarters the rooms were interesting we walked into our heart shape and there's two beds but we're like oh this looks like like you've been to some of the old school chicago hotels where it's like your fucking bed and that's the size of the room yeah so they look the same way but then

like we'd go around the two beds and there was two bathrooms there was a bathroom on either side of the beds because they had taken a room and took the wall out oh so you could have two beds in a room oh shit so it was pretty awesome so like jeff and i are like oh somebody's definitely died in that room yeah he definitely died there are multiple teenage pregnancies that happened in this place at one point this hotel was turned into like a retirement home what it's that many faces yeah yeah so it was a good time though we had we had a great time there um revisited revisited some of our old bars and restaurants and stuff that was anyone still working at any of the places that like they oh okay that's what i figured because it's been years since you guys went but so what's interesting is in the bigger towns like sedalia nobody recognized us there was plenty of turnover when we got to the small towns they remembered us they remembered you kilts yeah that helps four iowa dudes driving around in kilts yeah and you probably spent a thousand dollars she showed us a picture that she took of when the last time we were there because they probably made a fucking shitload of money like like this crew rolled in and spent a thousand dollars well they saw you coming they went they drink a lot they're back they tip really well and that one guy's carrying a wrench yeah a 20 pound wrench and all of their ball sacks are hanging out i remember them that's awesome so the funny part is there are other groups from iowa that go down there so it's not just us like there are other yeah but not to brag for you guys

and not those other people, but you guys are pretty memorable. You have the biggest balls. Of them all, yes. So we've actually been doing this long enough that this is your second bike trip that you've been able to tell us about. Oh, that's crazy. Wow, there you go. It's time for us to hang it up. We've been doing this too long. Let's go out. We're officially on year two of bike trips. Let's go out in the middle and just retire. Fucking sick of you guys. I know. All I hear is, blah, blah, blah. It's true. sean did send me a message while we were on this he's like god damn it it's it's like people are telling me they're boating and swimming and all this other yeah i'm fucking sitting in the office and it's just picture after picture of i'm drinking here we're drinking this we're having this oh look at us drinking the whiskey the podcast whiskey i'm like off man oh yeah you took a bottle of it did you guys finish it it's so close so close that baby saw some had a journey i had about this much of that and a bottle of buffalo trace left at the end so but we finished a day early so you know how it would have been gone yeah what was it did i send a video or something like that when you're stuck in the office and your friends are out doing like yeah that's what it was yeah yeah because that's how i felt like and that kept popping up and i was busy as at work and i'm like eric god just leave me alone for a minute you know i feel so bad for you except for the fact that you're in the Ozarks and on a boat most of the summer.

I'm going to fucking get you guys all day long when I do it. No, I know. FOMO. FOMO is real. Especially when the weather is nice. You had to cut it early and this blew my mind. Yeah, so the last day... I only say this because I almost said you taught me how to bike. You taught me how to ride a bicycle. But no, you've taught me about fixing a bike and all this shit. Your fucking dad wasn't there.

Too soon, man. Why? Yeah. So anyway, my daddy taught me everything I know about biking. But it's like to hear you had to leave early because like an actual malfunction that you couldn't fix. I'm like, wait, what? Something went wrong on a bike and you guys couldn't figure that out? With all you guys that bike. Right. Like MacGyver, like you needed a watermelon, a snorkel and you guys fixed it. We're fairly savvy and especially like two or three of us have done a lot of mechanical stuff to bikes. Yeah. so um anyway we're on the last day and this is the weird part like that day it rained in the morning a little bit and then like it was great so like the the beginning part of the day when it rains on a limestone trail there's a little bit sloppy parts like you can imagine like it can get muddy and stuff but then once it dried out we were fucking i was cranking i don't know why i was feeling so good i'd probably the chocolate milk i had i don't know what the fuck it wasn't it wasn't the whiskey i i was i was saying it was a choice because i had something other than whiskey and cheeseburgers your body was like let's go oh my god nutrients yeah but i was like broccoli let's do this earlier in the day i was pedaling hard like it was just super fun and then we're like five miles from our overnight and two two to three miles from our turn which the at the turn we were going to stop at a gas station there's like a gas station and then we go to the airbnb and so i was like we're going good and all of a sudden i'm like the fuck like i'm pedaling and

it's not moving like it's i could feel the pedal slipping yeah just nothing yeah it would catch and then slip catch and then slip and i was like i hollered out to them because i started to fall back and i'm like hey i got a problem and so everybody stops and then as soon as i stopped and started turning like the pedals just turned but the chain doesn't move oh shit so you just like stripped your gear i mean that's what it sounds like yeah so there's a there's a hub component in basically in your wheel and they're like these little teeth and you turn them backwards they just like rattle against the other teeth but if you turn them the right way then they catch catches what moves it yeah well like you just it's a very uncommon failure warm down it's an uncommon failure because this this component if you like grease it and stuff it doesn't usually have any issues what happened with mine is the actual hub side of it just stripped the teeth off they were gone like it was just when he pulled it apart it was just metal shavings what the fuck it's just a failure like it's uncommon but you're just going hard in the paint yeah just fucking tearing up i was biking way too hard tearing up that fucking hill going home all the time at your house that's probably true yeah yeah if if you've seen that hill eric lives on and and you look at it and go he bikes up that all the time you're like what a fucking psychopath normally at like 10 o'clock at night yeah like midnight midnight in the dark yeah Jesus yeah so um we didn't know what with what the situation was but I googled a couple of things it's definitely a hub malfunction and like we could potentially degrease it we could potentially take it to a

bike shop all this but it was like no matter what if we we didn't have the stuff and if we take it to a shop it's going to be multi-hour scenario yeah so we just decided to cut her short say the bike's done but we debated like are we gonna go to a town and rent a bike and like kind of fuck around yeah what are we gonna do to like make the best of the vacation um no matter what the nice thing is that day that we were coming in that town we had already had to like adjust our schedule to be two days in that town because mizzou was doing their graduation in columbia so we couldn't get a room that night so we were already doing two days in herman no matter what yeah before the trip so you're gonna wake up just ride and come back the day the extra day in herman we were basically just gonna pedal around herman and get drunk like it was like herman has fucking like six wineries in town and two distilleries so like it just hit me when you said herman kara goes on like a wine trip but like her aunt every now and then and it's herman yeah and that's she's probably been to this winery i just realized that so yeah all the so stone hill is the biggest one yeah and it's the oldest winery in the united states from what the lady that oh drove me to my truck told me and that wine region is older than napa valley like it's that's crazy way more history than california so that's awesome pretty interesting stuff about wine in missouri but yeah there's a fuck ton of wineries down there.

You wouldn't guess that. You know what I mean? So it's like, that's kind of crazy. Yeah. You kept saying Herman. I'm like, what the fuck do I know that? Yeah. That's why. Yeah. So we spent two days in here. Yeah. That's it. PG, Mr. Herman. Beaten off in a theater. That's what it was. Yep. Mr. Herman, you have a telephone call at the front desk. Yeah. Well, we're glad you're back. It sucks under that circumstance. Like that kind of blows. But, you know, did they tar and feather you for ruining their trip? No. No, I'm kidding. Here's the thing is like, it wasn't day one they all they all went to the winery and i went and got the truck so like you missed out on so they still had their day it's your fault your fucking bike broke you yeah that's right go get your fucking truck yeah no shit sounds like you were the dd well i just i went and got the truck came back parked it and got to the wineries yeah yeah exactly well we're glad you're back we're glad you're in one piece too bad your bike's not i mean does I mean, your whole bike's fucked or can you just, it's down for a couple of weeks.

It's in the shop, but you can just replace that. The whole wheel has to be rebuilt because I have custom wheels. Of course you do. Well, I have custom wheels because I, I do a lot of biking and I carry heavy shit. And you do carry heavy shit. Yeah. The first time that I fucked it up because I carry heavy shit, I built new wheels. And so it makes sense to just rebuild the same wheel. That's the only thing. Like I'll bike with Erik and I'm like, okay, I'm here. I've got my water bottle and my helmet. And that's like, let's go. and then Erik pulls up like what's up nerds he's got like fucking two coolers on each side he's like in case you get stranded there's a fucking tent back there and you're like what the fuck wrench he's here just in case like okay Jesus Christ so I'll be like oh I didn't bring a beer I didn't have a cooler he's like we're covered I got you pussy yeah it kind of makes sense somewhere I think about it why your wheel failed I will say there was one day on this where there were some hills and i looked at the other guys and you know john was riding ahead and i was like hey do you guys want to kick him off the team and buy e-bikes there you go that's the move yeah he's very anti-e-bike i should say we're not trying to kick him off the team because we don't like him he just doesn't like so if i get an e-bike you're not gonna let me ride with you yeah i will totally let you ride with me yeah i won't let you fucking race ahead at 40 mile an hour i'll be like motherfucker yeah no you're carrying all the shit that's not me don't worry about it yeah i'm more of a cruise give me a beach cruiser yeah if you get to carry the shit yeah yeah there you go

well shit so um all right you had something you want to bring up otherwise i'm glad a couple things but uh dad talk here for a second so no don't make me cry my son went to his last i know well you've been through this is a different thing for me it's new so cooper um plays every sport yeah yeah i mean does that deal and for the first time he got a concussion the other day oh yeah which is kind of scary you know what i mean because it's like you're worried about that when they play and he's been playing football plays across he's wrestles he's you know what contrary to what the nfl says concussions are actually bad for you right right but um it's kind of weird right because it's like i grew up in this thing of like you're fine get back out there always get back out there you know and then i was also then i don't want to be too scared to not let him do things but i want to be smart about it whatever well he's been playing for years and nothing's happen well he took a shot in the cross like a dead shot like so he's a goalie and it if you've ever played the cross the ball's kind of hard like it's rubber but it's hard it's hard and it hit him directly in the forehead and then he fell back and then hit his head down there so he said that basically he goes i remember it hit me in the head and he goes then i remember open my eyes and my coach is over me going uh he's like what's going on yeah so um i feel bad for him though because he plays all these you know sports well it's baseball time he's playing for the high school

team now and it's kind of like trying out to see who makes the team you know not really make they they have multiple teams so he's not like going to get cut but like you're trying to figure out he's concerned if he's going to be at the top where you're going to play on the team that plays 30 games or the one that plays 14. you know i mean and like you know type deal but like as a dad you're like it was kind of scary because i'm like he came home and i thought he was acting weird but I like he wasn getting sick or anything like that And he can answer things and he could remember everything that happened in practice so i was like okay so we went to school the next day and then we get a call and he's like i've been having headaches and so he's like went to the nurse so i took him to the doctor like yeah he's got a concussion and everything else shit they don't fuck around with that though which is kind of nice like he was in concussion protocol and he was in there for like 10 days like they didn't let him do anything like he couldn't even do the play like he's he's like in the play and they're like you can go watch like you can't do anything and the part that i didn't realize is they just they don't want you to do anything that strains your brain so it's not just so there's two things like in a sport they don't want you to get concussed again like they don't want you to fall and hit your head but just in general to like repair your brain they don't really want you using it you know i mean like so they don't want screen time because you focus they don't want you you like even school work they do it very limited and you get a lot of breaks because they don't want you like pressing your brain like making your brain really work should tell you not to come to school for a couple days well he would have been fine with that well you know i'm on your

side coop but it's pretty cool like the teachers and everybody was with it but it's like legit like he had to go see the trainer every day after school and he would have him do another test and then that's it you know i mean like and so he was out for like 10 days with that stuff but like so it's but i'm glad we talk about different dad stuff here about like with your kids and playing sports and it's like that worry of it like i'm like you know and then he naturally as a kid he didn't have a headache anymore and so he's like two days into it and he's like i just i'm fine i'm fine i want to like why can't i go do this you know i mean he wants to play so bad thing right Oh, yeah.

There would have never been it. You just would have kept going through it. But I mean, even now, if you had one now, you'd be like, okay, I can get back to whatever. Yeah, exactly. And so I fucking look at him, and then finally one day at the car, he's really frustrated, and I get it. And I'm like, dude, there's more to life than you playing sports right now. You need to make sure that, you know, I don't want you drooling here. You know what I mean? We're like joking about it. Better 10 days off than not playing sports ever again. Yeah, you're right, or whatever. but so now he's getting back into it but it's kind of yeah well those gut check things like with someone you're like oh you know what i mean and i'm glad they do that now instead of just like hey shake it off well what i do like i do respect they take it very serious that the school nurse knows the trainer knows every coach knows and the coaches cooper could go to practice and do whatever but they couldn't they basically the coach could be like are you cleared or are you not so they couldn't give him tips like so you're feeling okay well let the trainer know you're feeling like it was very much like and the coaches would be like no hey you just have to tell me if you're cleared or if you're not and so then they'd know and then when he'd be like i'm not cleared they're like okay here's what you can do today yeah like you know or they'd be like what the trainer say the trainer said i could run i could stretch but i can't do anything else and he's like okay well don't let me see you doing anything else because you know you're just gonna get so that would have been a different thing too back in the day we've been like yeah be fine you know i mean just tell him this but like they take it pretty serious at least you know in solon so it's

something to think about but it's one of those things where from the dad perspective that's kind of where you started exactly it like it's it's interesting i've been thinking about that a lot lately like it's really easy in life to start going really fast you're getting these rhythms life moves really fast and you're just kind of doing your thing and then out of nowhere something and come and just totally disrupt your whole life right you know in this instance it's a concussion it's 10 days and whatever but it ruined the out of his life totally yeah yeah you know it shakes you too well that's the harder part because like now i go from like i understand where you're coming from dude but like it's funny how much your parent instincts kick in and you're like i i care more about you as a person than you know i mean like right you can be mad at me when i say you can't do this you know because then he'd be like he i wouldn't let him go to any overnights that he had or anything i'm like you just can't do any of this stuff you know and he's throwing the fit and pissed you know yeah which i get it but i'm like you can hate me now but i'm i'm gonna make sure you still remember me kind of like you know but you'll forget it is interesting to think about you know i mean like i'll take you hate me for now but yeah but it is like a very helpless feeling you know when you can there's something you can't control but like yeah so are you a little skittish about him going back into things uh yeah like a little bit um but i i respect what they're doing because i'll tell you what i feel better because all the coaches are taking it serious like even so his lacrosse

where it happened at but there it's not a school sport so it's a club sport and that coach goes he cannot play until I hear that the trainer already cleared him, and I want an email from the trainer that says he's been cleared. You know what I mean? So he's like, and so then he got cleared, and he goes, well, we don't have a game this weekend, so Cooper can do anything, but he's not taking any direct shots. I'm going to give him another week because we don't even have a game for two weeks. So he's like, it's a waste of that stuff. So that's the kind of stuff that makes me feel better. But, yeah, the thought of he can – it's real.

You know, you can get hurt. I know that. I got hurt a lot. I had lots of concussions, which can you tell? Yes. That's why my tongue gets all swollen. When you see it with that part of it and so much more that we know now that we didn't before, it can happen to them, but what am I going to do? You can't be the boy in the bubble. Yeah, you can't. You can't. But you want to, right? Sometimes I really do. I really want to control the situation. but I also want him to be yeah my daughter last year she would have been like three she was walking in preschool and tripped over her shoes and fell and landed on her face and tore her face up on the sidewalk so like sad and heartbreaking she's just not wearing shoes ever again this is why you don't walk straight from a wheelchair for you I will carry you my little girl yes yeah parenting is anything being helpless around them it's the fucking worst it doesn't matter what it could be something as silly as yeah they broke your arm kids break their arms it is whatever but it's like when they're in a hospital I mean my son was in the hospital the first two years of his life it's terrible but like it makes you stronger makes them stronger but you grow up it's like yeah I can't protect you from everything you gotta fucking bust your head open every now and then that's just life right you know but somehow i feel like i'm supposed to yeah but yet then make sure you're also not

a pussy you know what i mean like come on you know what i mean like a little bit it's a fine line so my kids are older but i do have this like potential little gap in insurance coming up with work stuff so i'm gonna be like everybody just fucking stay in the house okay yeah yeah yeah we don't have insurance right now don't fucking break your arm remember covid we're doing it again We're all we're taking two weeks. Yeah, you know we're social Distancing I don't even near your brothers and sisters right like yeah, it's like give me a week of interest You hear your kids running around upstairs. You're up there like uh-uh to your brother. No, there will be no running the fuck said you could run Yeah They're eating some like don't you have a peanut allergy put that down Yeah, Jesus you chew fucking 57 times before we swallow okay starts coughing like no no no not like this yeah it's COVID all over again everybody vote in November right oh we get a bunch of tessin you can rub some tessin on it dude yeah all right so so I got one more thing that oh concussions cool or not cool they're not cooler now than they used to be they're not fucking cool at all but they're not cool they're not cool at all but what is cool is that it seems like coaches are taking it The whole thing, they take it a lot more serious now.

Because, again, I got multiple concussions from falling off my bike, or I slipped wearing roller skates. You know what I mean? So it can happen more than just in sports, but that's what gets highlighted, that it happens all that. What are the giant halo helmets called in football that they're wearing now? Guardian caps. Yeah, that's right. They're so cool. Just put Cooper on one of those things. They are sweet looking, aren't they? No, not at all. But they're so safe. I think. In theory, to me, it feels like they still wouldn't do anything. Because at the end of the day, it's your brain moving in your head.

Your brain is slamming into your skull. So think of an egg, right? You can put a padded thing around an egg and then throw it at the wall. If you crack open the egg, it's scrambled on the inside. You know what I mean? It may not even crack. It just will move inside and break. But again, if there's actual studies showing i want everyone wearing one yeah well but it's just hard to believe they're actually doing a whole lot apparently they do um i'm sure they do something they act as an external shock absorber so it's a it's reducing impact forces before it's reaching your head they should make them bigger it works it should be a 10 foot you should have a bobblehead of a fucking how many watching people trying to run down the field hold their heads up like it now oh my god i just i just can't believe they haven't figured out a way to make it more like why isn't there like a purple mattress inside the helmet. You know what I mean?

Like, instead of having a giant fucking bubble mattress on the outside. I feel like they kind of are. I don't know. The Guardian Caps yield an estimated 15% to 34% decrease in concussion risk. Okay. I mean, I like it. Now, granted, they're optional. I wonder what the percent, because you see about two a game. They're about to be mandatory for Cooper, so I like it. There it is. Hey, Guardian Caps, if you want to sponsor the podcast, we're in. All right. Yeah. On a different note, but kind of the same note. Yeah. Okay. No, go ahead. I saw this that I thought was fucking hilarious. Okay. So I got this from Jesus.

I'll have to think about where I got it from. It was TikTok. Mother Teresa. Oh, no. Okay. Well, I got it off of TikTok, but thank you. Thank you. So here's a question here for you. What do you think is the most shocking when I read this list? okay so what do you think is most shocking since the last time the dolphins miami dolphins won a playoff game i'm going to give you a list of things that you got to tell me what you think is the most shocking lebron james was a freshman in high school the knicks were the defending eastern conference champions oh god houston texans didn't exist Shaq hadn't won any championships.

Tom Brady hadn't been drafted yet. Think of how long he played in the NFL. He hadn't even been drafted yet. Nick Saban was his first year at LSU.

Metallica was in a lawsuit with Napster. PlayStation 2 was released eggs for a carton of eggs was 89 cents and Billy Eilish wasn't even born yet that's how long it's been since the Miami Dolphins have won a playoff game it's really been that long it's crazy with Mike McDaniel they got better but you're right they never won a playoff game man. Holy shit. You can't win just because you pay Tyreek Hill a bunch of money. You can't. Especially when he has... Keep playing a concussed quarterback. And he has no money because he has 47 kids. The Dan Lebitard show. So that's who... That's where I got this from. The Dan Lebitard show. Used to be on ESPN radio and... The most shock to me is the Metallica Napster thing. Just because I feel like I was 12 years old when that happened.

Yeah, like Napster. But I remember that being a giant thing. Like, it was Lars, the drummer, was like, cocksucker face. He's like, no free music for anyone. Which, by the way, artists should get paid. but yeah but still think about like or i was just in my head i'm like tom brady not drafted yet and he was in the fucking nfl forever yeah he played what fucking 22 years yeah yeah i yeah i don't know i had a thought about the whole napster thing like would would all of the music streaming services that we have today even have existed if napster didn't happen they would have eventually but you're right like that's definitely what like fucking well fuck napster remember lime wire remember all the viruses that's what i'm saying like all of that shit helped to create the commercialized services today so that's crazy you wouldn't even have netflix for it you know i mean even on that level anyways i thought that was fucking hilarious jack hadn't won a title yeah i think all the fucking rings he's got all the changes he's got like i when i was here like the fucking knicks haven't been good i think this year was the first year that they were good again I don't watch a lot of NBA anymore When did Patrick Ewing retire?

It's been that long How long has LeBron James been in the NBA? He was a freshman in high school Yeah That's like 20 some years Jesus Interesting We're old Do you know who's in the current NBA playoffs? Still I don't know I only know because Jack follows it I had to double check my Hold on. I'm guessing the Thunder. Are we to the finals? Is it the finals yet or no? Basically, final four. If you were doing it like a bracket. Thunder and Spurs. Oh, yeah. They play today at 730. And then tomorrow, the Knicks and Cavs.

Okay, so yeah, the Knicks are good again. Damn. What? And the Cavs. Yeah, without LeBron. The Cavaliers beat the Pistons, and the Pistons were... You know who isn't in it? The Lakers. I know. Take that, LeBron. They had a good run in their first one, and then... They went out... He's fucking old. What's he going to do? The Thunder beat them. Okay, that's what I thought, yeah. Feel the Thunder. All right. That guy's got to retire at some point. He's just padding stats like a motherfucker. I'm not saying he can't play. He's still good, though, but he still fucking dominates like a game. It's just kind of crazy.

But they did say he puts like 5 million dollars Into his body A year or whatever with like recovery It's like But we've talked to this before What good is millions of dollars if you don't enjoy it Because then you can Do the roast of Kevin Hart Part 2 Because that's what he wants to be the goat And then he can just be on all these fucking things Go on his parade for the next 20 years I would assume Maybe not i think i think he's dedicated his life to being a basketball player he doesn't want it to end yeah like i mean if you dedicate your life to anything and you're still like in the top you're not going to end no and i've never been the best at anything the best or then in the top five of anything that is not true how do you know i well i i don't know i think you're i do know i feel like i know i think you're on the best podcast in cedar rapids amen okay and then According to our awards.

When you're recording us, you can be on our side. Where's the Cedar Rapids Iowa Podcast Awards, Logan? Play the cricket sound. He just doesn't want to give us one. That's why he's never going to bring it back. No fucking flowers. Come on. I can tell you what fucking podcast is getting invited now because of you It not Erik you dick Yeah We let you have that one Logan We still love you Listen it just not that good of a podcast That true You know let just make this one a Patreon one. He's over there, you're giving me nothing. Guys, if you wouldn't mind not bringing up upload media, it would be great. You had to do it, didn't you? You had fucking son of a dick. What a dick. Alright.

Well, I've got a little bit of a chaps my ass that I have because this is a chaps my ass for everyone I'm sure, but when it comes to road construction. But I say it because so my street is very long, very wide, no sidewalks, and it's not in that bad of shape. Like, there's not a lot of potholes. It's fine. But then they come through a couple weeks ago and give us a note like, hey, we're gonna be doing construction on your street. Everything's closed off. Whatever like this is fucking stupid. What are they doing? I look it up online. They're re-asphalting the whole road Our roads fucking fine like you drive around the city and you're like there is a million places that need this way more than we Mine's not the one that I'm not even not even in the top hundred you and all the fucking 70 year olds that live on there that barely drive You're like what are you doing? Yeah, what for the four people who walk their dogs in my neighbor?

Like are you kidding? It was your one neighbor. He called me. He's like It probably was my dickhead neighbor Because he had a bunch of trees Can you put curbs in and no parking signs They better not put curbs Or sidewalks in But I'm just thinking about Who comes up with this shit Where to do things Kara, not her road, but right near her road There is a road where you are going through a war zone For five minutes You know where I'm talking about It is fucking horrible That whole area is rough That whole road down by moco it is like a fucking war zone like there's pothole after pot and there's places on other sides of town that are worse than that and i'm like who's coming up with like your street the order of how we do things right so then they come through whatever and it's like i'm not i'm not bitching that they're doing my street i'm just trying to understand where the ranking comes in because i'm like we're fine we're surviving it ain't that bad there's people blowing axles out down the road fucking do something about that you know what i mean so when they come in not to I just mentioned yours is just a true neighborhood. It's not even like a cut through or anything like it.

Like you pull on that street to go to your house. Yeah, no one's going down that on a fucking joyride. You know what I mean? And so they come through, they cut the fucking end off everyone's driveway. So now you're left with a cliff, right? And they don't tell you when they're doing it. Now, granted, I drive a really big SUV. I'm pulling up and I see it and I'm like, oh fuck. So I like go slow and it's fine for me. My son comes home. Ten minutes later, and a fucking Sentra that's this fucking off the ground. BOOM! And then he like, he pulls in and I see him just fuming and I'm like, what's up? And he's like, what the fuck are they doing?

Are they trying to break my car? I'm like, well you could have looked and seen that there's a cliff there. And he's like, why would I do that? I was like, why would they do that? Because that's what you should be doing? You should watch where you're going and slow down. I don't know, it's my fucking drive light, I guess. Yeah, you're just used to pulling in, so I get what he's saying. I mean, even when the driveway was fine, he could bottom out. It's like, you've got to take your time. But he could go at a snail's pace. He's bottoming out with the way it is then. Well, then they come like four hours later, and they throw asphalt at the bottom and make them a ramp again.

And I'm like, you could have fucking given people a heads up that you were going to make it undriveable for five hours. You know what I mean? So I'm just like, there's got to be a better way to do all this. I mean, you can go out online, and you can look at road construction on my street when you know it's happening. and they'll tell you like generally what they're doing but it doesn't give any detail it doesn't give you exact dates doesn't give you exact times they're just parking fucking machinery everywhere throwing a urinal and calling it just fucking chaps my ass well fucking I mean again it's construction it sucks nobody fucking likes road construction so like I get it but I'm with you where it's like this isn't the place you gotta focus on dude like at all like yeah there's multiple war zones out there and it isn't my street like they should start a voting system where it's like you go out to a website and it's like you could put in a road like i don't even live on half the roads i would put in i don't even drive on half the roads i would enter but i'd be like i feel terrible for these people this one's fucked yes yeah like fucking johnny's went through three tires this week like fix his road also don't vote on collins road blair's ferry and 42nd at the same fucking time right like if we do construction on all those roads you can't go anywhere right by my son's high school it's like been working on it for a year and a half and i'm they're always like when should we do this right when school starts let's do that it's a great idea about a month before it ends too absolutely like what could go wrong and then we'll leave it there all winter and then we'll start back up and again let's say august it's great i don't know it's kind of hot yeah we don't want to sweat out there but it was my son's last day of high school how you doing with

that it's fine i mean it you know you're it's weird because i was like i was talking there dan and I go, I did it. I raised on through high school. Like, you know, like, give me a participation trophy. But then you're like, oh, it's kind of sad. Like, I was talking to him today. I'm like, are you sad? He's like, no, like, I'm done with school, right? But then a couple hours went by and I like kind of looked at him. He's like, yeah, I think I'm gonna miss it a little bit. I'm like, yeah, it's like, it's, you know, you're forced to see your friends every day. You know, like you didn't have to make plans.

You just got to bullshit with your friends. Nothing else. There's something really fun about high school that you realize as you get older. And I mean, I even remember being on high school like missing it a little bit you know well and then especially senior year because that's what i mean to the end of senior year they don't fucking care you know like you've already people going opposite you're either gonna fucking pass or you're not you know i mean like you're good you normally you already know where you're going to school like it's literally even the teacher's like whatever get the fuck out yeah i mean that last month of fucking high school as a senior is so easy yeah it feels pointless it is oh but it's so great because you just get chilling freedom do whatever the weather's getting nice yeah and they want you to have fun too yeah they're they're they're not yeah they're not trying to be here's the thing i would i'll just caution you to watch for because i just went through it you bet through it yeah the next year is kind of tough because you start to realize like all your friends are going their own directions and they may not want to hang out or they may have girlfriends or they may be moving away or they may that's when the horror start coming in right it's gonna get it it's so weird because like you know he kind of nathan at least figured out you know his close friends throughout that so yeah well they're they're i i kind of warned him i go there's a slight depression that comes with this bud like it like you you are going to start working way more like that's his plan he's already like scheduled for all these hours so you have more free time but you also don't have more free time like you're working right and then your friends like you said they go in all the different ways

and like like we learn as we got older it's like it's not always easy to sync everybody up to do things you have to put effort into it yeah and then you have to hope that they put effort into it yeah yeah it's a it's a tough tough situation you can uh you can tell him that if he misses being forced to see his friends he could start a podcast that's right yeah uh i think i'm gonna find a studio local that would do it for him. Not here, but like... No, we only do the best podcasts. Yeah. Oh, wait. I thought it just wasn't that good of a podcast a minute ago. Well, this one's not. My how the turntables, as Michael Scott says.

Well played. I'll let him know, though. But yeah, so I mean, it is what it is. He graduates, like, the ceremonies of Saturday, which I'm fucking terrified for, because I remember when he started freshman year, it was almost 600 students now granted that's gone down. I'm sure but I don't know how yeah They always start on They go you're not all gonna make it all right yeah, we're all going in some of you ain't coming back out I do wonder though like how long it's gonna be cuz I'm like My daughter was like how long is this gonna be I'm like probably three hours. She goes oh I'm like, I don't know. So I go, well, what's 500 kids? Time's like, let's give them 15 seconds to cross the stage.

But then there's speeches, and I'm like, so I'm guessing three hours. I don't know. And they still give out fucking awards at the thing. Which is dumb, because there's a fucking award ceremony every three months. There's a whole two-hour award ceremony beforehand. Literally. For what? For all the awards. Awards, academics, sports. Why would they give those at graduation? If you get fucking Bs and Cs, you get an award. Well, you get your cords, right? You stand up to do that part of it. Dude, they do a whole senior award ceremony beforehand. You already did this, Mike. This is a recognition thing. I know, but you're saying they do more.

They do more at graduation. Yeah. Fucking stupid. I wish his name... The valedictorian gets to give a speech. Get the hell out of there. There's more shit. You're a good last name. We're at the top, baby. O's not great. You know what I mean? You both. You fucking assholes. god although that's not true because you guys do pictures and from her you know but we didn't that's a beauty that's a beauty of a small school small school we wouldn't either i know yeah you are luckier like we went to tanner's 45 minutes no big deal i tried to convince aaron let's sit by the exit let's that's the move do the dip she didn't want to it was our first one though so maybe the next one she will yeah she's like that sucked let's not do that again i mean we had your friend film it We gave the first one the best formula in diapers and then we figured it out.

Like, it's the same thing. Oh, yeah, we drew straws for the kids years ago. Only one of them is going to college. Yeah, yeah. We were like, yeah. Charts, rah! We hadn't really counted on you! Yeah, you're not all gonna make it. You all go in, you don't all come out. Yeah, exactly. Coop, after you got that concussion, we pretty much got you. Oh my gosh! All our money went to... Once you started stuttering, we were like, that's her now. All the money went to self, we're just... Guys, we're really loving dads, I swear.

So, anyway. Cheers to senior year, man. Senior year? Wow. Crazy. One down, five years to go for me. I'd love to go back. Right? I've thought that too. That being said, should we have a shot?

I like vodka. I'm not a huge fan of pickle-flavored things. But I did like this, and I really thought, man, I want to have this in a bloody really bad. It would be fucking perfect in a bloody marriage. I'm glad that I hid this for my wife because she probably would have drank the whole lot.
