Episode 6.13: Nerdy Blinders

This week, Greg and Garrick almost stay on topic.

Kicking things off with a brief dive into Peaky Blinders, the conversation quickly takes a turn when the guys crack open a deck of Chat Pack cards and let fate decide the direction of the episode. What follows is a completely unpredictable mix of questions, answers, side tangents, and the kind of random nonsense that somehow still feels very on-brand.

The usual rum takes a back seat this week as the drink of choice is a classic Guinness, proving that sometimes you’ve got to mix things up… even if the conversation goes completely off the rails.

No structure. No plan. Just two guys, a stack of questions, and whatever happens next.

Pour a pint and see where it goes.

Two rambling idiots—Greg and Garrick—bring you the *Rum & Nerdy Podcast*, a weekly dive into the world of nerd culture through the eyes of late 40s/early 50s dads who still can't get enough of their favorite movies, TV shows, and theme parks. With a deep love of all things nerdy and a shared passion for good rum, these two buddies mix laid-back humor, nostalgic memories, and plenty of laughs as they discuss everything from classic sci-fi to the latest pop culture trends.

SPEAKER_05 6:45

Hold on. Before we go into that, I do want to say non sequitur. So when you know a scene somebody's talking about, right? Yeah. Somebody's making a reference, an odd reference, and you're like, I I know that, and you have to pay homage to it. So I was explaining this to Sandy. Sandy didn't like I made a reference and she made a small comment to where she acknowledged she knew what that was from, but then she didn't follow it up. She didn't say, ha ha, you're any of that. And I said, You you know I didn't go knew what? Like she didn't even acknowledge that she acknowledged it. It was weird for me. And then like the next day, something's going on, and um, like she's on her her uh switch or whatever, and it was like that the life forms. That the life forms, do you think and I do the do do do do do do do do do do and she's like, Yeah, yeah, that one. And I'm like, see that you're supposed like like you you acknowledge in a fun way that you know that yeah. It's and she didn't understand that.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

Yeah, it's felt huh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 7:46

I felt weird. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:49

I don't know. Is it my turn? Yeah. Okay, my shitty dating app question. Which month of the year do you think would best describe your personality? Oh jeez. Like that's just a terrible one.

SPEAKER_05 8:07

That is a terrible question.

SPEAKER_03 8:09

Um Should I pick another one or do you want to pick a month?

SPEAKER_05 8:12

I'm gonna say August for me. You know, sweaty in a lot of spots and uh April twenty fifth.

SPEAKER_03 8:20

Not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

SPEAKER_05 8:24

Yeah. You're a light jacket kind of fan.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

And you see, and that and you didn't get it, and you just moved on. I did not get is that that's uh that's uh for Miss Congeniality. Oh what's your what's your perfect date? Describe your perfect date. Uh April twenty fifth. Okay. I didn't I that's okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:45

I don't know that I've seen that whole movie.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

That's a running joke with my work friends.

SPEAKER_05 8:51

Makes sense. Somebody bring it up, like, oh yeah, we're we're doing this thing. I think it's April 25th.

SPEAKER_03 8:56

Better not be April 24th, or I'm screwing up this whole bit. Anyway, but they're like, oh yeah, we got this thing going on. It's gonna be on April 25th. The perfect day. And then we scare the crap out of new people.

SPEAKER_05 9:08

As one does. Okay. I'll start unless you have a non-secretary and you want to interrupt me.

SPEAKER_03 9:18

I'm I'm how can I interrupt you if you're not already talking?

SPEAKER_05 9:21

Which particular historical document or portion thereof do you think every American should know by heart?

SPEAKER_03 9:27

We absolutely have read those as the Mula report. I think you gr I remember. I think uh I think you grab from the uh the front of the pack.

SPEAKER_05 9:36

I uh you had a st you handed them to me.

SPEAKER_03 9:38

No, well here. I'm gonna I'm gonna hand you another pack. Another thing. Yeah. We haven't done one of these episodes in like three years, so no.

unknown 9:47

No.

SPEAKER_05 9:49

If we still had an intern, we could track that kind of shit. No. Okay, so if you could see the front page of the national newspaper dated January first, 2100, what do you imagine that the main headline might see? World still ended.

SPEAKER_03 10:07

Yeah, something about the robot overlords.

SPEAKER_05 10:10

Yeah. Yes. I would I would imagine that it says something like 100011101001100.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

Did you hear that thing where the two AIs were talking to one another?

unknown 10:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:27

And then they got they got bored with English, invented their own language, and they started communicating in a language that no one knows what it is. They're just like, hey, this is what we're talking to in to each other with now.

SPEAKER_05 10:41

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 10:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 10:43

And did they speak in like code, or were they like speaker microphone speaking?

SPEAKER_03 10:49

No, I think it was like you were watching the text transcripts back and forth or something or something like that.

SPEAKER_05 10:55

So in theory, you could watch the text and go like, oh, okay, well, this word means this, and the I I don't even know, dude. That's messed up.

SPEAKER_03 11:02

All I know is that they invented a language that was better for them to communicate back and forth to, and we can't check it.

SPEAKER_05 11:10

Nothing creepy about that.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

Um if you could have the voice of any famous person, living or deceased, whose voice would you want to claim is your own?

SPEAKER_05 11:23

Christopher Walken. I would I would totally be that guy. I couldn't wait for a a meeting, a a meeting with a client. I might I see I I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_03 11:36

I might do like Orson Wells. Something where like ah I don't know. Be something something a little more obscure where you could just sort of go on a rambling tangent. Werner Herzog or something.

SPEAKER_05 11:53

I could see you like totally being like John Madden.

SPEAKER_03 11:58

Yeah. There's a guy who when he puts his contacts in, he can see better.

SPEAKER_05 12:06

Uh I would like do that, and like it but but like you know, your work speak, but I don't know what your work speak is per se. Anyway, um yeah, I I would tech to money back would be Christopher Walken. That's pretty solid. Yeah, you know. Still. Yeah. Still today on Ramener, episode 6.13.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

There are so many Hollywood actors that have a really good walk-in.

SPEAKER_05 12:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:41

Ugh.

SPEAKER_05 12:42

Tom Hiddleston does pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 12:44

He does pretty good. Um Yeah. There's a there's a handful of them out there. Every time I every time I see them in through reels doing a walk-in bit, I gotta stop and listen because they're just great.

SPEAKER_05 12:55

Yeah. Um reminds me of whole other thing. Um I think it was Rounders or something like that. It was a Ben Affleck, not Ben Ben Affleck, the other one. Um Matt Damon movie where he's a card player and it's got John Malkovich in it. And John Malkovich is like this Russian guy.

SPEAKER_03 13:17

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:19

But apparently nobody knew John Malkovich was going to do that voice that he does.

SPEAKER_04 13:25

You better have my money.

SPEAKER_03 13:27

Oh, yeah. I heard I heard they I heard they had to have a meeting with Malkovich to ask him to tone it down a little bit. They're like, okay, look, we come we know what you're going for here. We need you to dial that back. Because no one told him to do it.

SPEAKER_05 13:40

He just like Well, in an interview, Matt Dame was like, they started that scene and nobody knew he was gonna do it. And so they like they all did like trying to not bust up laughing. You know, you better have my money.

unknown 13:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:53

Great fucking interview, but anyway. Uh John Malkovich.

SPEAKER_05 13:59

I think that might have been the one where um like Matt Dame is asking, was like, because he was like, damn, it was like fucking John Malkovich, and it was like, hey, hey Mike. What are you doing? It's like nobody knows this, but I'm a terrible actor. Or something like that. I don't know. It's fucking funny. Anyway, is it mine? I think it's mine. Oh no. I asked this one already. Or then did you go? Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:24

Uh okay, here's here's here's mine. Uh if uh if like the newspaper or milk, you could have anything of your choice delivered to your doorstep every morning, what particular item would you want it to be?

SPEAKER_05 14:40

That's easy. Pez, cherry favorite pez. No, that sorry, what's that from? Uh Stand by Me.

SPEAKER_03 14:48

Oh, yeah, what did I got another one?

SPEAKER_05 14:49

Yeah. Um no, uh, if I could have one thing delivered.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

I got mine already. Like, not even Okay, go. Use a first not even a close second for me. Appropriately ripened avocados. Like, that's not even a joke. Every day you get an appropriately ripe avocado. Two, maybe two. I go through a lot of avocados. You go to the grocery store and you're like, these are too hard, these are too soft, you get home and the next day they're all bad.

SPEAKER_05 15:19

It and you're like, what the hell? I had a couple that's that we had refrigerated, but they were hard for two weeks. You refrigerate them? Sometimes. Is that the secret? Is that the secret to avocados? Um, like, because I, you know, you know, I I I kinda I put them in in like salads and we have a lot of salads, so I keep them refrigerated so they're cold in the salad.

SPEAKER_03 15:42

Yeah, I didn't realize they kept better. Oh yeah. Well fuck.

SPEAKER_05 15:45

Yeah. This chase But when they're hard, you want to keep them out. Like if you want if if you've got a really hard one, uh uh avocado and you want it to soften up, put it in a paper bag.

SPEAKER_03 15:55

Nah. I'll I'll eat them. I'll eat 'em inappropriately hard.

SPEAKER_05 16:00

But you you're not gonna make guacamole out of it.

SPEAKER_03 16:02

I am not. No. So I'm gonna go. I'm going to I'm gonna scoop it out. No, I I rarely put the effort into making guacamole. Yeah, so I usually just sprinkle some olive oil and lemon pepper on them and then just a spoon and that's it.

SPEAKER_05 16:15

Well, if you're going to make guaca and they're hard, you put them in a paper bag. Because something about there's a it uh off gasses some certain thing. I don't know, whatever, but it works, it really fucking works.

SPEAKER_03 16:25

Anyway. What's the time period they need to be in the paper bag for?

SPEAKER_05 16:29

Like a day. Oh, okay. Yeah. So like the next day they're usually like.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

So it's not like you can't flash fresh flash ripen them.

SPEAKER_05 16:38

No, I've I tried different things when I needed a a soft avocado, but it you can't make it work.

SPEAKER_03 16:44

Just microwave it for ten seconds. Yeah. What what would uh what would you have delivered every day? Oh you know, it a a Lego set? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 16:58

Yeah. Yeah, I would have a Lego set every day.

SPEAKER_03 17:00

Of course, it didn't it didn't specify it here, but I'm assuming you have to pay for these. Yeah. Like a subscription service.

SPEAKER_05 17:06

Yeah. If it was reasonable, I'd say once a week. A Lego set a week would be good.

SPEAKER_03 17:10

Lego set a week? Yeah. Every day appropriately ripe avocado.

SPEAKER_05 17:15

Makes sense. Okay. Um if your name were given as the description for any one word in the dictionary, behind what word would people find your name? Example. Hilarious John Smith. That's uh painfully regrettable.

SPEAKER_03 17:36

Wow, he he read the quiet part out loud.

SPEAKER_05 17:38

Yeah. Um Wow.

SPEAKER_03 17:43

Okay, uh so, yeah, it's like in the dictionary it said that was that was the actual example of the card. Hilarious John Smith.

SPEAKER_05 17:51

That's h that is funny. Tragic. For those not only inside joke, we have a person that we used to know named John Smith.

SPEAKER_03 17:59

Who was hilarious?

SPEAKER_05 18:01

Who was hilarious at times? Um but okay, so what about you? So your name appears after one word in the dictionary. Is Shithead one word? Uh no, but I'll allow it. Okay. Yeah. Um I think humble for me. No, no, maybe not. God, uh I don't know. What do you think for me? I think humble for me. Um the juxtaposition. Um Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:32

Um I don't know. The o the only thing greater than my my intelligence or my dash and good looks has gotta be my humility. Yes, agreed.

SPEAKER_05 18:42

Uh I don't know how to answer this one. What would be um Yeah, I don't know. I don't I can't I can't answer this one. This one I the terrible card. I don't like that card. Because a lot of different reasons. I'm gonna skip it. I'm gonna go to another one. If you could open your own retail store, what type of merchandise would you sell? Well, I think this uh is self-evident. Um I would sell kidneys.

SPEAKER_03 19:08

Jars jars of kidneys just on the wall.

SPEAKER_05 19:11

I would sell mixed drinks.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

Mixed drinks? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:18

Pre-mixed or like it would be a very specialty kind of retail. Like you would sit down and there would be a place for you to wait while your custom retail mixed drink is being assembled.

SPEAKER_03 19:34

You'd have to have some kind of a barrier in between the person making the drink and the people that are selling.

SPEAKER_05 19:38

Some sort of counter that would hide the various paraphernalia from making such a product. I don't know, maybe something like that. What about you?

SPEAKER_03 19:49

What was the question?

SPEAKER_05 19:51

Uh something about if you could open your own retail store, what type of merchandise would you sell?

SPEAKER_03 19:56

Oh, fuck. Same answer, man.

SPEAKER_05 19:58

Perfectly ripened avocados.

SPEAKER_03 20:00

No, no, no, no, no. I'm a consumer of perfectly ripened avocados. Yeah, I same thing, man. I dude. I'm an engineer. It's every engineer's dream to quit and open a bar. Did we just figure out what we're doing when we retire? Or or I don't know, Tuesday. I don't know. I gotta beef up my PayPal account a little bit, but we should we should open a bar.

SPEAKER_05 20:23

Rum and nerdy the bar. Rum and nerdy the drinking establishment.

SPEAKER_03 20:30

What if you do that? Just make it a just like a dive bar. Find out find a house. Like purchase a house in a neighborhood and then turn it into a bar to like piss off the HOA.

SPEAKER_05 20:42

Um You'd have a hard time getting the liquor license for that, but I see where you're going. I think that it would um I would name the place like Site Survey or uh Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:58

A meeting. There's a bar there's a going to a meeting. There's a bar that there's a it's a restaurant or a bar somewhere that it's called like the office or the firm or something like that, and then everything on the menu, stop fucking chewing on your things. Oh my god. Yeah, stop. No, no chewing of the microphone. Um every item on the menu is called like oh it's a bar because they're like cheeseburger or fries or no shots or pencils or staplers or paper. So it looks like you're ordering office supplies, but it's yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:32

Growing up, my dad went to a place, a little corner local blue art card. It was called the Loser's Club. It was appropriate for him. Giggle.

SPEAKER_03 21:41

Anyway, your question. What is something you always used to love to do that during the last uh year or two you feel like you've outgrown or lost your interest in doing?

SPEAKER_05 21:54

Uh my first answer I can't say.

SPEAKER_03 21:56

I mean, I know what your first answer is. But yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, I would say right there with you.

SPEAKER_05 25:21

Oh. Yeah, if it's big enough, I'll take it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just give me the dimensions. Yeah, I think that just needs to be easier. Anyway, uh that's what I would do.

SPEAKER_03 25:37

Cool. Uh is it your turn or my turn?

SPEAKER_05 25:40

I don't know. You go.

SPEAKER_03 25:41

Okay. If you could get one thing back that was either lost or destroyed, what would it be?

SPEAKER_05 25:50

Oh, um this is not that hard actually. I was the Sandy and I talked about it the other day. So when I moved to Florida, uh I was going to Kansas State University, and I expected that I was I was coming back, I had a roommate. Uh they allowed you to score store up to two boxes of stuff that they had a storage place that you could and I I had you know and and you know, mind you, I'd I'd just kind of gotten out of the the Marine Corps and gone to school for a semester. So I didn't really own anything. Everything was in these two boxes. And since I was staying with friends over the summer, I didn't need to carry these two boxes, so I've just stored them. Yeah. And uh then it ended up over the summer, some things changed around, and I moved to Florida, and the guy that I was gonna be roommates with when he went up there, he's like, I just throw it out. I want those two boxes back. It's my childhood yearbooks and Oh wow. Uh yeah, there was there was some some things I had growing up, some you know, things that I'd worked on in high school and just some other stuff from theater I did. There was um a literary magazine I was published in called Penpoint. Gone. Um Oh wow, that's tragic. Yeah. You probably didn't ever know that.

SPEAKER_03 27:03

I mean it was it was like a I did not know about the boxes that you lost in college, but wow.

SPEAKER_05 27:09

Yeah. Oh well. But I'd I yeah, that's if I could get anything back, I'd get those two boxes. What about you? God damn it. I have I have to go after that.

SPEAKER_03 27:23

Now there's Guinness in my nostrils. Why I j nothing I say could even come close to that.

SPEAKER_05 27:31

Yeah. That's pretty good. I mean do it. Whatever. A car that you once done an old rental property.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

Um maybe no. Because every no.

SPEAKER_05 27:54

No.

SPEAKER_03 27:57

I I I'm I'm kind of a pack rat. I'm a complete hoarder. Yeah. So all of the shit where I'm like, I can never get rid of this. I haven't. So huh. And and you know not having gone through any, you know, horrible tragedy like a you know, a house fire or anything. Like I just I still have all of the crap that I I'm trying to offload crap. Every week I'm giving a box of stuff to my to my sister to sell online. Like toy robots and stuff.

SPEAKER_05 28:31

Yeah. I should just give her some stuff.

SPEAKER_03 28:35

Yeah, if you're trying to liquidate or downsize, yeah, absolutely, man. So um she turns brickabrac into money.

SPEAKER_05 28:45

So here's the thing. So um when my mom passed away, we were like, my we've got a couple small boxes of jewelry boxes and stuff of stuff that's not necessarily costume jewelry, but it's not super value. It's not like diamonds.

SPEAKER_03 29:01

It's not super valuable, but you don't want to put it in a rummage sale, you know, fifty cents a handful or something like that.

SPEAKER_05 29:07

In fact, it that that box was in my garage when I had a garage sale once, and a lady had found it because she walked into the garage and like assumed that there was some boxes that that and and she's like, I'll take all this, I'll give you twenty bucks for it. And I'm like, the bracelet you're holding in your hand, and it's like a wide it's like that's sterling silver. Yeah. The weight of that bracelet is worth, you know, a couple hundred bucks. It's like, no. Yeah. I mean it was big it was, I mean white it's a white thing, but it's um and she knew it. She's she's like, ah, I'll just take all this off your hands. I'm like, that stuff's not for sale. You sure? I gave you twenty bucks.

SPEAKER_03 29:53

No, you have like two zeros to that.

SPEAKER_05 29:55

Yeah. But that's all stuff that's um like in a box that we just haven't really wanted to go and do anything with.

SPEAKER_03 30:04

Yeah, and that's that's where I'm at. Having just moved, I have stacks of stuff already boxed where it's like, oh, this entire box is things that I can live without. Right. I don't need to I don't need to be air conditioning them. Fair. Fair, fair.

SPEAKER_05 30:22

Okay. Um Is it my question now?

SPEAKER_03 30:27

Yeah, I think it's your question.

SPEAKER_05 30:29

If you could know, without a shadow of the doubt, shadow of a doubt, the answer to one question that has always troubled you. What question would you want to have answered once and for all?

SPEAKER_03 30:45

I've answered one question. Next week's lottery numbers. Okay. Next week's lottery numbers aside. I don't know. Are there aliens? What's the alien deal? Is the government colluding with aliens? Is that a thing? Are they gonna poke up over Iran sometime soon? Like, I don't know. Aliens.

SPEAKER_05 31:11

I couldn't imagine. Space aliens. Space aliens. The ultimate false flag. Maybe.

unknown 31:19

Maybe.

SPEAKER_05 31:20

Didn't they just declassify a bunch of shit?

SPEAKER_03 31:23

Yeah, they did, because there's a whole bunch of other shit that they were trying to distract us with, and like, oh hey, by the way, aliens are real.

SPEAKER_05 31:30

Check that out. Look over there.

SPEAKER_03 31:32

Yeah, that's awesome. Uh quick with the stuff.

SPEAKER_05 31:36

Yeah. I don't know. Uh I don't know how to answer this. I mean, I know how I would answer it, but um I'm not going to because it's depressing.

SPEAKER_03 31:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 31:47

Your question.

SPEAKER_03 31:49

Besides your real birthday, what is one other date on the calendar that you think would have been a great day to be born? This is like another one of those shitty dating dating app ones. What's a good day to be born on, if not your day? Pick a day.

SPEAKER_05 32:07

Honestly, I think um I would go with like 4th of July or something like that. Um like so my birthday being in mid-February is oftentimes adjacent to President's Day, with and I've worked at a lot of places where you get that day off.

SPEAKER_02 32:24

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 32:25

So um so having it close to that, it's always it's good because always around your birthday you get like a three-day weekend. So that helps. Um Fourth of July would be great because you know it's it's far away from the the holidays where you might get a gift. Yeah. So, you know, like Ry Riley's birthday is really like right before Christmas, and it can kind of suck.

SPEAKER_03 32:49

Oh, it absolutely sucks. My my grandfather's birthday was December 23rd, and we threw him I think it was his 90th birthday, we threw him a birthday party, like birthday party. Grandpa's getting a 90th birthday party. Maybe it was 80. It was it was it was like it was a big birthday. And we threw him a birthday party, and that was it. It was just a birthday party, and he teared up a little bit. He's like, this is the first birthday party I've ever had. Because my birthday has always been lumped in with Christmas. But but I mean that's what you get when you have you know that kind of that kind of a birthday. My my birthday, I'm in May. Yeah, so I have I have it's like the midway between Christmas and my birthday, so as a kid, like you'd always get it was it was a good way to space out presents. Yeah. And then you had like a then you had like an Easter in there, and then like a Thanksgiving in there to kind of box in all that stuff. So it's like, ah, you know what? I have a pretty decent distribution of holidays and gifts and family meals and stuff.

SPEAKER_05 33:58

So that's why I think like Fourth of July, you've got fireworks, everybody's having a cookout and a barbecue. Yeah. You know, hey, you know, you want to sit around a grill and and drink cold beers and celebrate something? Uh yeah, celebrate me. I'm down. Bingo! Yeah. So Okay. Okay. There you go. That was you. Okay. In your opinion, what is the most significant event that has occurred in the in world history during the last thousand years? You may define significant however you wish.

SPEAKER_03 34:32

Thousand years.

SPEAKER_05 34:41

The invention of the internet.

SPEAKER_03 34:46

I was going to go with the invention of calculus.

SPEAKER_05 34:53

Which is I think the internet has been the most socially transformative thing that has ever happened to humans.

SPEAKER_03 35:00

I think you are correct. But we also couldn't have the internet without calculus, so agreed. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 35:08

Chicken, egg, whatever.

SPEAKER_03 35:10

Potato, potato.

SPEAKER_05 35:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 35:14

I think those are both very reasonable answers.

SPEAKER_05 35:17

Also, calculus existed before people figured it out.

SPEAKER_03 35:21

Yeah, I know. I I I had that argument with uh Neil Legrasse Tyson in my head the other day. They were talking about the invention of calculus on on the Star Talk podcast, and I'm like, and he he said something about math, about math and how it's discovered and moving forward, and I equated it to um was it Michelangelo's quote about uh carving marble statues. He was like, the statue is always there, I just had to remove the marble to get to it. It's like the mathematical relationships between all of these things that exist in the universe, they're there whether we know about it or not. So things like math, it's we just chipped away enough marble to see it. It's not that suddenly integrals exist. So anyway. Makes sense.

SPEAKER_05 36:17

There you go. Your question.

SPEAKER_03 36:20

Okay. Whenever you are having a bad day, what is the best thing you can do to help cheer yourself up?

SPEAKER_05 36:27

Lego.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

Uh the other one.

SPEAKER_05 36:29

Unquestionably, assembling Lego gets it that that for the win.

SPEAKER_03 36:34

Yeah, that was uh that was an easy answer.

SPEAKER_05 36:36

What about you?

SPEAKER_03 36:38

Uh assembling Lego is probably uh probably a close one. I love watching movies. I love watching movies and TV shows like classic ones that I watched. I told you I uh as part of my recent move, my parents gave me all of the boxes of shit that they had been storing for me over the years. Yeah. And one of them is my Lego boat. So it's it's just this boat that I've had. You know, it's you know the big square Lego tiles? It's two wide and nine long, and it's it's three stories tall in one part, but it's it's fully built out with full interiors, like Is it just a thing you built? Yeah, I just started building it in middle school, and then it got bigger and it got bigger and it got bigger, and then you know, by the time I went off to college, it was just this thing. And it went it's one of those things where it's like, hey, I need to uh kind of you know kill some time, you know, you know, relieve stress, whatever. I just go down and fiddle with the stupid boat, like a lot like people would do with uh model trains or some bullshit like that.

SPEAKER_05 37:43

And I would sit there and like you have that set up.

SPEAKER_03 37:46

It's in my bedroom right now.

SPEAKER_05 37:48

I've I I need to know.

SPEAKER_03 37:51

Next time you're over, you can come over and play. But uh uh Maddie has started playing with it, so the two of us could we were rebuilding it because it was taken up. My parents took it apart in sections and threw it in a cardboard box, and then it may have bounced around between like Chicago and Boston and Florida for a decade or so. So needless to say, there's things that need to be repaired. But uh, but we'll she's like, hey dad, let's go play with the Legos. I'm like, yeah, that's a good idea. We'll just sit there and we'll just we'll have fun playing with the Legos, and it's awesome.

SPEAKER_05 38:21

That is fantastic, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:23

So I mean, usually, you know, I build sets every now and then, m mostly gift sets from you. But like, I I haven't just dove into a Lego passion creative thing since that dumbass boat, and now hey that's really cool. I'm back clean with it. Yeah, it's fun.

SPEAKER_05 38:46

I dig it. I'm debating getting that uh Back to the Future clock tower set.

unknown 38:54

I haven't seen it.

SPEAKER_05 38:55

No? It's not a Lego, it's a mock.

SPEAKER_03 38:58

Oh, okay. Yeah, no, I haven't seen it.

SPEAKER_05 39:00

Yeah. That's cool.

SPEAKER_03 39:01

That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_05 39:02

Anyway, um was that mine or yours? That was mine. If you were given a hundred dollar gift certificate to spend in any store, where would you choose to redeem it? Uh does Pornhub count?

SPEAKER_03 39:19

Well, I'm just kidding. Yours is the Lego store. We already know this. Yeah. God, mine would probably be Lowe's. I hate to say it.

SPEAKER_05 39:30

Why? Just for stuff for the house?

SPEAKER_03 39:32

Yeah, just home improvement stuff. And plants and things and stuff, yeah. Tragically, most of my spending has has has dropped down to just necessities, so it's like, oh yeah, food and light bulbs. Right or bamboo toilet paper.

SPEAKER_05 39:52

Yeah, I need to uh I need to uh update some stuff around the house.

SPEAKER_03 40:00

Oh. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing on your phone? That's very rude of you to oh, that's oh shit. Yeah. It's a cool looking set. It's a mock? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 40:14

It's like a hundred and hundred and twenty-five bucks.

SPEAKER_03 40:19

That's cool as hell. Yeah. I figured you'd like that. Yeah. Is it to scale with the official Lego Deloreo?

SPEAKER_05 40:27

With one of them, because there's there's a couple different versions. There's the tiny little one and yeah, it's like the regular size one. Cool. The minifigure scale.

SPEAKER_03 40:36

Nice. Yeah. Okay. Um, if snow could fall in any flavor, what flavor would you choose?

SPEAKER_05 40:47

I think that it needs to be something wacky and like it needs to be like pina colada, I think. Um just because it's white, I mean, it's kind of like I mean it it you like a pina colada looks kinda like slushy snow. Does this snow taste like cocaine to you? Uh yeah. No, I would say like just because clearly, like if you're gonna get a if you're gonna get a glass and fill it with snow and then drink it, it you better you better make sure it's a good mixer. Yeah. Yeah. That yellow snow. It's not mango. It's husky. Oh god. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:29

Pini colada, that's a good one. Clearly. What about you? Uh I don't know. Mai Thai. I'm like, we kind of are on along the same vein.

SPEAKER_05 41:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:39

Make it make it make it delicious.

SPEAKER_05 41:41

It's a texture thing.

SPEAKER_03 41:43

Hmm.

SPEAKER_05 41:44

I don't know. Uh what would your dream house look like? Be as descriptive as possible. Um Golly. Um it would be in the mountains. It um it would be built into the mountain, have grand balconies overlooking the most breathtakingly beautiful valley uh and it would have caves that look like the Bat Cave with lots of toys in it. Like extensive caves, but with just different sections, but the house itself would would look like a log cabiny kind of thing.

SPEAKER_03 42:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 42:28

But caves.

SPEAKER_03 42:29

But caves.

SPEAKER_05 42:30

Yeah. It'd be like, this is my Lego cave, that's where I put all my stuff. Over here is my movie replica uh car cave.

SPEAKER_03 42:37

Yeah. Yeah. Mine m mine's surprisingly in a similar vein, but it's uh I'd have an underground volcanic layer. I think it'd just move right past house and into layer. So think of mid-mod think of mid-century modern architecture inside a volcanic layer.

SPEAKER_05 42:56

Would you have um like sharks with lasers?

SPEAKER_03 43:00

I would absolutely have sharks with lasers. Well, my volcanic layer ideally would be on a tropical island. So the sharks with lasers can just live around the island. You have to feed them.

SPEAKER_05 43:10

Well, I think they need a path, like some sort of like system of of tubes.

SPEAKER_03 43:15

Tubes. Get some tubes that they gotta be able to get into the interior moat. They do have to get into the interior moat. Because uh honestly, how are you gonna protect your throne room if you don't have sharks with laser beams?

SPEAKER_05 43:28

Is there any doubt that you and I are just fucking children?

SPEAKER_03 43:35

No. Okay, this next one is really long. I hope this goes somewhere fun. Okay. Suppose that instead of having a name, you had a number, and people would always refer to you as that number. I feel like this was a Black Mirror episode. What number would you want to take the place of your name? Your number can have as many or Or as few a digits as you would like. I got mine.

SPEAKER_05 44:05

Well, there's part of me that wants you to be like because I'm a child, I'm like number two 'cause you went number two, or sixty-nine 'cause I'm also a child that's male.

SPEAKER_03 44:16

Um and of of the general gen X timeline.

SPEAKER_05 44:21

Um there's part of me that would be like 87 because you know that's um you know Kelsey's number. But um you know what? I think I'm going to go with 3.14159. That was mine!

SPEAKER_03 44:34

And just go by the pie. That was 100% my answer to that question. Yeah. Because you could be you could be a real jerk, and as you're filling out a full like you could either go pie, or you could just say it all out loud.

SPEAKER_05 44:50

Or I'd be like, some like 10-digit number that's also a prime number, and I'd just be you can call me mega prime.

unknown 45:02

Something like that.

SPEAKER_03 45:03

Yeah, I don't care about prime numbers all that much. I mean I know primes are important, but I don't care. I know. That's a hot take coming from me. It's a prime number. I don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_05 45:15

I would be 3.21 gigawatts.

SPEAKER_03 45:19

There you go.

SPEAKER_05 45:21

We're twins on something. If you could stand at the pinnacle of any natural object or a man-made structure, what would it be?

SPEAKER_03 45:30

At the pinnacle of an object or structure?

SPEAKER_05 45:33

A natural object or a man-made object. If you could stand at the So any object. You could stand at the pinnacle of that. I don't even know.

SPEAKER_03 45:43

Like, what do you mean pinnacle?

unknown 45:45

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 45:46

I I just read it. Interpret as you wish.

SPEAKER_03 45:48

Is that like the apex? Is that like the thing like could stand at the top of the Great Pyramid? That'd be cool. Or the bottom of the Mariana's trench. That would also be well that would that would be crushing, but or or stand and gaze across the sea of tranquility. That's on the moon.

SPEAKER_05 46:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:13

Yeah, I don't know. Sea of Tranquility, I think that'd be pretty cool. For some reason, I'd rather go to the moon than the bottom of the Mariana's trench.

SPEAKER_05 46:20

Yeah. It'd be cool to watch it earthrise.

SPEAKER_03 46:23

Earthrise would be cool.

SPEAKER_05 46:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:25

Although you don't get that when you're on the moon.

SPEAKER_05 46:28

No?

SPEAKER_03 46:29

No. You only get the earthrise when you're orbiting the moon. Because the moon always sh has the same face facing us.

SPEAKER_05 46:36

And then I'd be on a pinnacle of the space shuttle as it circles the moon. And be like, where the fuck is the earth?

SPEAKER_03 46:40

And you're like, you're on the dark side, motherfucker. Yeah.

unknown 46:44

Okay. Go.

SPEAKER_05 46:47

Yeah, I think we got one more round before we're Okay.

SPEAKER_03 46:50

If your life was literally flashing before your eyes, what are the three moments or scenes from your past that you would expect to stand out?

SPEAKER_05 47:02

Oh, the birth of my kids. I don't know if that counts as two. Um I'll allow it. I would say the birth of my kids or um. I would be a moment with Sandy, and I don't know. It might be Friday, February twentieth, nineteen ninety-one. Okay. It's the first time I kiss Sandy. In her driveway. Yeah. It was Friday, December. Not February. Friday, December 20th, 1991.

SPEAKER_03 47:49

I'm looking for the model of the car you were probably leaning against.

SPEAKER_05 47:54

Uh no, that's not in here. That's not in here? Oh. Oh, there you go. I I think Sandy has that at work. Oh, that's cute.

SPEAKER_03 48:06

Nice. Uh birth of daughter, obviously. Um days would stand out. Jumping out of a plane. No. No, because jumping out of a plane was I mean it was cool. Like, hey, look, I strapped to a navy seal and I'm falling from 18,000 feet. Very few people get to do this. I don't know. It's just not like personally impactful, it's just more like uh hey, I checked that box.

SPEAKER_05 48:45

I'm glad it wasn't impactful.

SPEAKER_03 48:47

Okay, fair.

SPEAKER_05 48:48

I miss it, guy.

SPEAKER_03 48:49

Fair. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:51

Yeah. The falling was wasn't that bad. The sudden stop at the end really put a damper in my day. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, tragically, within the past within the past couple of years, I know a b an awesome one was when uh Maddie and I took that DeLorean out to Titusville.

SPEAKER_05 49:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:12

So I'm sitting there driving a DeLorean, my daughter's next to me in the passenger seat, and Huey Lewis in the news, the power of love came on the radio. The fucking kid it's radio. It was just radio. I'm like, is this the perfect day ever? Like, I mean, that was that was pretty freaking amazing.

SPEAKER_05 49:33

Yeah, that's stars aligning kind of shit.

SPEAKER_03 49:35

Yeah, that was that was that was awesome.

SPEAKER_05 49:38

Okay, we got what I'm gonna run through this one because we gotta wrap up. Babe Ruth, James Dean, Elvis Presley. If you could bring back any deceased superstar for one final performance in the respective field, whom would you choose? This is not even hesitation.

SPEAKER_03 49:54

Oh, we see Rush again. No. Oh, oh, really?

SPEAKER_05 49:59

Oh Frank Zappa.

SPEAKER_03 50:02

Oh yeah, there you go. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 50:12

That dude was cool.

SPEAKER_03 50:13

Yeah, that yeah, that guy's freaking amazing.

SPEAKER_05 50:15

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 50:16

And you? I'd probably probably Frank Sinatra.

SPEAKER_05 50:20

I heard he's a dick. I didn't know I made that up. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 50:23

What do I know? It depends.

SPEAKER_05 50:25

Yeah, but I mean just in theory, he would be so appreciative that he got to come back to life that he would be really nice.

SPEAKER_03 50:32

Zombie Frank Sinatra. Yeah, with the caveat that you gotta buy me dinner. No, I I don't know. I don't know, man. Like uh it would it'd probably be a musician. Because a musician, you can respect their craft live in person. You know, like if James Dean was here, he'd be like, hey, ask for me. Smoke a cigarette, look cool.

SPEAKER_05 50:52

Well done. Nailed it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 50:56

Fair.

SPEAKER_03 50:56

Yeah. So probably a musician. Um I mean, unless you're seeing like a stage performance of something, but Yeah. I don't know if I don't know if James Dean is really remembered for his off-Broadway work.

SPEAKER_05 51:16

Probably not.

SPEAKER_03 51:18

Yeah. There you go. Cool.

SPEAKER_05 51:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 51:21

Done.

SPEAKER_05 51:21

There we have it. There we have it. Are you s you know just to wrap up, are you streaming anything? Like I like I we're talking about.

SPEAKER_03 51:28

I'm doing Peaky Blinders. I should probably if there's a movie coming out, I should probably get back into that. Uh I'm going to get through Alien Earth. That's gonna be amazing.

SPEAKER_05 51:37

It's good.

SPEAKER_03 51:38

I uh just just hanging out at home the other day and I put on community. I forgot how much I enjoyed that show.

SPEAKER_05 51:47

That was it was that was a pandemic watch that Sandy and I went through all that. Watched a lot of it with the kids for a while until they got bored with it.

SPEAKER_03 51:54

But I I can't remember it was one of those things where when I first got into it, it was across several different medias. So like I had so season one was random and over here, and then seasons two through five were different and over here. And for some reason, like the first season, I'm watching it on Peacock now. The first season of it, I'm like, I don't remember half of these episodes. This is amazing. So it's like I get to watch brand new community.

SPEAKER_05 52:22

So um new shows uh we're we're watching a lot of you know, like season twos and stuff. But The Pit with Noah Wiley.

SPEAKER_03 52:33

I heard really good things about that.

SPEAKER_05 52:34

Dude, season one was season two is just fucking on fire. And they did a very controversial episode this week.

SPEAKER_03 52:42

Oh really?

Yeah. Two ice agents brought in um a woman of uh Latin heritage and uh had her zip tied. But in that process, she's like, yeah, uh she uh kind of fell down the steps, whatever, and something's wrong with her shoulder, so we've gotta get her we've gotta get her, you know, buttoned up before we take her into process. And, you know, one of the the two agents like wouldn't take his mask off and whatever. And um so they're trying to help this woman and and like trying to be, you know, show her any amount of dignity, and they're like, No, you can do it with her handcuff. No, you need to cut these off. We need to do a physical over our shoulder, which you can't do with those. So they do that all and one of the guys just gets finally gets fed up and says, That's it, we're just taking her. And they were like manhandling her, and one of the other doctors, like, dude, settle down. And so he got that doctor got thrown to the ground and arrested for interfering. And um you know, it's in this ER you have uh other patients, other doc nurses that are like, Listen, I'm here legally, but like they don't care. And they had staff walking out because they didn't want to be in the hospital with with uh ICE agents there. That's awesome. And they was like who were legally documented or American citizens, but they were Hispanic Americans, and they were like, No, I like they're just gonna arrest you. Ask questions later. So holy shit.
