Brandys and BS
How a Stolen (Borrowed) Tractor and Fog Turned A Hunt Into A Legend
We trade cruise myths and Halloween quirks for a fog-soaked North Dakota hunt that turns into a rescue mission with a tractor, a stuck tow truck, and a missed steak reservation. Along the way we rant about Minnesota sports, praise a local band, and count candy for 1,700 kids.
• Missing-the-boat worries and passport realities
• Beggars Night, candy etiquette, and porch-light duty
• 1,700 trick-or-treaters and crowd control
• Local band with tight harmony and small-venue charm
• Vikings frustration, clock management, and effort
• North Dakota scouting, long bar pours, and a talkative landowner
• Clay roads, dense fog, and getting stuck
• Tow truck stuck, borrowed tractor, and DIY recovery
• Late-night pizza instead of steak, lessons learned

I like it a lot. Oh yeah. So, Jay, what have you been up to lately? We're back on the we're doing another podcast. Uh, I've been up to a lot of things. Is this our last one? I don't think we talked about you. Did it did we talk about your no, we did. We did. We talked about the trip.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was good.
SPEAKER_03:We talked about a lot of things. I think I do want to try a cruise, though.
SPEAKER_04:I'm not going to try the Alaska cruise.
SPEAKER_03:They're not bad. Some people either love them or they hate them. The problem is, for me, what I was worried about is when you go to a um stop, right? You get off the ship and you go when you go to port? When you go to port and you you off get off the ship and go mingle around the town, and then what I always was worried about, you're having a good time and you don't want to leave.
SPEAKER_04:And you miss the boat.
SPEAKER_03:I ain't really worried about missing them. I've seen that. Yeah, they come, they come running down the thing. Yeah, yeah. Like one that goes.
SPEAKER_04:If you miss the boat and you're done, right? Yeah, you gotta you got to get a plane ride to the next port, maybe, or something.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but they have your passport on the boat. They keep your passport. Why do they what? Oh no, no, no. No, they can't keep your passport. No, you you're supposed to carry your passport with you just in case. Right. Yeah, yeah. No, um, that's what happens. But the funny thing is that make no sense when they'd take your that one that one video on Lugo was uh the guy running, running, running. Everyone's like, Come on, you can make it, and then he gets there, and it was the wrong ship. He was at the wrong one, and so he was up plenty in time at the other one. My cousin did that. My cousin did that uh because there was two ships here, and then that would be that would be a little freaky. There was this like fancy, like they have this new one, it's like the four seasons, it's a fancy one, like a fancy ship, yeah. Okay, it's called it's boom, but I think the four seasons, yeah. Um or what's Waldolphus story, maybe it's one of the two. So, anyways, we were going in these people like trying to hurry up, and we were we were parked behind him, our boat was behind him, and he ran up. Wait, wait, and they stopped, and they were like, and then he started trying to get his credentials again in, and he's like, Oh, it's that one. I'm so sorry. We knew he was it was funny. They weren't laughing though hard, but it was funny to me.
SPEAKER_04:I would be laughing. I would I'd be I would not like that feeling knowing that you're thinking you're gonna miss the ship though.
SPEAKER_03:We almost did that one time for work when I was over in uh early in that time, and uh we got we weren't watching the clock, and we went to a pub or whatever.
SPEAKER_04:Oh no, you're not gonna watch the clock because you're in a you're in a pub with like no windows and no clocks.
SPEAKER_03:And I'm like because I said we should probably set alarms just as a backup plan on your phone. Just right. Well, we were yapping around, and I'm like, oh god, it was like five minutes after the alarm alarm didn't go off. I had like PM or AM instead of PM. Well, trying to find a tad is a little bit. You do that.
SPEAKER_04:Wait, wait, wait. You've done that for like duck hunting and other things before. You did it a lot.
SPEAKER_03:How do you how do you do that? I don't know. I just hit it and I you do that a lot though. Yeah, I know. Sorry. Um, though, but uh so we we we uh well for the record on this situation, there's three other adults. Why do I gotta be the only one that's being responsible? There is that, yeah. So yeah, second of all, we didn't think it'd be a big farmer, yeah. Yeah, we were in um Waterford. I don't know if that's Ireland, that might be Scotland. I don't know, Waterford where they make the fancy dishes, you know. And we couldn't find a cab because they're all booked.
SPEAKER_04:You act like I should know that where they make it.
SPEAKER_03:Well, you have them up in your China cabinet. I don't know what Waterford dishes are, it's like that crystal bowls, I think, and stuff.
SPEAKER_04:The crystal bowls are made in Ireland?
SPEAKER_03:Well, the Waterford ones, yeah. They're made at Waterford, yeah. And anyway, I didn't know that until we were there. Right. And then I was like, yeah, of course I know that. But uh we were like, okay, we got and we couldn't find a cab. We couldn't find a cab. We can find finally, finally, we finally got one. I'm like, they're all booked. The cabs?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, mean like a like an Uber or like an actual cab?
SPEAKER_03:No, like a cab. I don't think they had Ubers in there. You can't just wave one down. That's what's done. Well, we wave them down, but they all had people in them. Oh. And so we got in one finally, and then like looking at the clock, I'm like, we're not gonna make it. We're not gonna make it. It's gonna be close. I mean, we're gonna be like to the minute. Right. And I'm like, I've never that was the first time Did you really run to the like no where they drop you off at? No, no, we got there, and it was like a line like a hundred people to get on the ship, so we're fine.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, so they do they have to check you again to walk out of the ship, like yeah, passports.
SPEAKER_03:No, not passports. You have like a um like a like a wrist thing, and then goes and scans you, or they scan you, they take a picture. Now they they do a face scan, so you're in their system. So when you leave and you go and they have a picture, it's pretty high tech, actually.
SPEAKER_04:So now you're in the system, you're in the database, your face is probably, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but I grew a beard now.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, yeah, that'll fool them. It's not very it's not very long yet, though.
SPEAKER_03:No, I shaved it after uh last weekend. I thought you were gonna save it. I didn't shave it completely clean, I just trimmed it with a trimmer. Oh, it was getting a little gross. But speaking of last weekend, we had a we had a hell of a week ago. I know, but I'm not gonna talk about that yet. That's after the break. We're not gonna get into that one. Well, yeah, we are after the first break. Oh, okay. But yeah, kind of loose. Do you have the the the layout here of what the yeah? It was gonna be first when I thought about it. Such a good story, it's such a good stories that we gotta warm up to them.
SPEAKER_04:We gotta warm up to them. Yeah, that was a good story, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:But uh, no, I was gonna first talk about today that we had um I was gonna share with you. We had um in the town that I have the office in, um, it was the Halloween day. So like trick-or-treaters for uh I don't know if I like that though. Why why wouldn't you just do it on Halloween? Well, I agree, and I don't know the answer. And I'm I'm can I'm contemplating getting on the old uh board of the downtown business association to see if I can uh I don't think they like there.
SPEAKER_04:I've I've heard of this other towns and like I think there was something on the news not too long ago, but Jersey. There's a town in like oh no, got what town was it again? There's a town somewhere, oh no, Madison, Wisconsin. Madison. So they the town of Madison does not do Halloween on Halloween, they do Halloween on Sunday night closest to Halloween.
SPEAKER_03:Des Moines Des Moines does a Saturday before Halloween. Why they call it Liars Day, why would you and so then do you get to go out on Halloween also? No, they don't do trigger treating, they call it Liar's Day, and what you gotta do when you knock just in the city limits. So if you knock on the door, you're supposed to say a joke, and then that instead of saying trigger treat, you say why did why did the chicken cross the road? Why? And then they give you what's Iowa.
SPEAKER_04:What's wrong with Halloween?
SPEAKER_03:I don't know what's wrong with it. I'm just telling you, that's what I was told. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe you can lugle it, but that's what I was told when I went down there hunting. I am gonna have to lugle that. That doesn't make any sense. They call it Liar's Day, and it's always like the Saturday before you they still handle candy, but you don't say trigger treat, you say a joke, and you and then you give out candy. That's what I was told. Maybe I'm incorrect, but that's what I used to be. Maybe they lied to me. I'm kind of curious, but it was always the Saturday before, but and for the record, so yeah, today was the business. I have so many questions. Oh, yeah. You you uh like bought out Costco for candy.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, take a guess how many trigger treaters we had tonight from your town or from surrounding towns?
SPEAKER_03:Well, it is surrounding towns. Did you notice if you had surrounding towns again? Yeah, because yeah, I I said stuff.
SPEAKER_04:I'm like Well, you had last year you went out, you ran out of stuff, and you had to go do all kinds of weird crap to get candy in there. So I'm gonna say you had six hundred. I wish. Did you give out one piece of candy per grid?
SPEAKER_03:I didn't, but my my staff did.
SPEAKER_04:They gave out one piece per grid?
SPEAKER_03:A lot. A lot of time. I was given at least two. We had 1,700 kids. No, really? 1700. No kidding. No kidding. Did you have any leftovers? Had one bag. No shit. Really? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:You had 1,700 kids came through town.
SPEAKER_03:1,700 kids.
SPEAKER_04:They how far is the stretch? Is it just the the main drag right there? You've got to be towards the end.
SPEAKER_03:Both sides. Yeah, I'm like the first or the end. Well, I'm one of the first. Depends. There's two businesses ahead of candy towards my house. I know away from downtown from me. Here's another thing. I know the towns. Where does 1700 cars park? Oh, they're parked all the way down halfway to my house. Oh, no kidding. And then up and down both roads, and they have yeah, it's bad. Because think about it, there's probably at least two to three parents or grandparents with each kid, and some of them had five people with them adults. So it's probably I would say at least six, five to six thousand people.
SPEAKER_04:You know, I'm not a big fan of your little scooter things, your scooter gang. I don't know if we talked about that a long time. You have a scooter gang?
SPEAKER_03:Well, we don't, we're the only one part of it now.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, well, you're you're but I was gonna bring a scooter gang of two, yeah. But the more I think about no, I'm just thinking about that. Scooter scooter thing would be perfect if you're perfect for that kind of like yeah thing, right? Yeah, parades, yeah, all that kind of crap. You just throw if you have a kid, small, especially small kids, you can throw two people on a scooter, right? Throw them on the front and just park a mile away and just scooter up in there.
SPEAKER_03:That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_04:That's not a bad idea. I was kind of thinking, I'm thinking that's a great idea.
SPEAKER_03:I was gonna bring the scooter, but then I realized I could park my truck in my front yard if I needed to at the office. Yeah, but I had a spot, so I didn't. Did you you should put like a reserve? Can you put reserves for parking though? Um, no, not on the street, no. You can't you can't talk to the city. Uh I suppose I could talk to the city, but I haven't. I would talk to the city, at least for you. Maybe mostly or at least like like it all worked out tonight. We all had a good we all had parking. So, but it was a lot more organized. We were better tonight. But 1,700 kids. That's just that's ridiculous. So I don't know if I should handle candy at regular nine because I think I did such a good job. That's that's not even a thing, dude. You can't you've been yelling at me for 16 years. I'm starting to change my tune now. Oh no.
SPEAKER_04:Wow. You've been you've given me shit for 16 years because I looked it up. My kids are only 16.
SPEAKER_03:It's 21 years that I've been handling candy and being the best candy hander outer in my neighborhood. Well, I have more than no, actually, I've had it out more than 21 years. It's just 21 years at this location, and it's about time that somebody else takes up the torch. I have a seven I spent a lot of money on candy today. Yeah, you did. And I would say 90% of the kids that come down my neighborhood.
SPEAKER_04:Wait, wait, how many pieces are in a bag? Are they 50?
SPEAKER_03:We think there's 150 in the Costco bags. I bought 21 bags.
SPEAKER_04:Did you you said something you like you said you're dr you're walking through the the aisle with the cart full of candy and some little girls, like yeah.
SPEAKER_03:They say she goes, mommy, why does that guy have so much candy? I couldn't. What did mom say? I couldn't, she goes, Don't worry about it. I could it was almost like I had salt, you know, salt for your softener. I could barely push the damn card, it was heavy. Yeah, no, we don't have that many kids at my place anymore. I think our our not your place. We don't get that, we only get like 150.
SPEAKER_04:We get like we get like 20, 25. I think I had like 30 last year, and that's only because the word got out that I I gave out uh I was giving out like full-size candy bars and full-size stuff.
SPEAKER_03:Well, yeah, you can do that really.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we don't have that many. I live on a day-dead road. There's there's nobody wants to walk past the one house to get to me.
SPEAKER_03:You still gotta hand out candy. Oh, I handed out candy. Unless you're out of town. If you're out of town, then it's an excuse. So if I have So you're wrong out of town this year, then I'm not saying I am or not. You are you're kind of a little a little big P right now.
SPEAKER_04:You're not you're like, I'm not handing out candy anymore because I have uh all my neighbors have left.
SPEAKER_03:No, and I started thinking about it. Why is it that I always gotta be the one that steps up for 21 years? When is somebody else gonna step up?
SPEAKER_04:I don't do well, you do the drinks and everything like that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we do. And the the difference is now we're in a different generation, like our kids are gone, so we don't know the younger generation parents. Actually, most of them are pretty cool, but I don't know, you your neighborhood's getting a little older, and all the old kids are gone, and all the older parents don't come out anymore, so it's kind of like see I we used to go to our neighbors, we go trigger training with the kids, and then we go down to uh Yeah, I see that was wrong. We have one person stay home, and I only went out trigger training one time with my kids. The rest of the time I was always handing out goddamn candy.
SPEAKER_04:Because I would go out, we no. I see if you don't handle she didn't allow that.
SPEAKER_03:Well, who handled candy at your house then? We put the bucket out and said take some. Then why would you need to go there? Why why would you need to go with your kids trigger training? Everybody put a bucket out.
SPEAKER_04:I think I've talked about this before, too. I think I think I've talked about this before. She puts out candy, but she's like, don't put it all out.
SPEAKER_03:So then so then we end up with a half a bag of candy so left over because we didn't put it all out. Okay, so let's let the kids take it. We don't need it. So you know what? First, I got two questions. Number one, if everyone did that, yes, what then what would you do?
SPEAKER_04:What if everybody has kids?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So why why would they need to put a bucket on? I haven't I've been I've So if you have kids, you put but so everyone that has kids just puts a bucket on. Would that be any fun for the kids?
SPEAKER_04:There not everybody has kids. There's not that many kids that have people.
SPEAKER_03:What are the fun is them saying trigger treat to a live human being and then you say thank you? Every single person today, everyone. I'm not gonna do that now then. So you're giving up on this. No, if I'm home, I will definitely not give up on this. So you're planning on going on a trip just so you don't have to go to church. I'm not going on a trip. There's a possibility that I might come up here and go to North Dakota.
SPEAKER_04:On Halloween.
SPEAKER_03:Maybe. It's a Friday. It's a Friday. Oh, is it a Friday?
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:It's next Friday. I don't want I don't know. I probably will give in a few. How did you come up here? Well, we can handle candy here.
SPEAKER_04:Who? The old people in the old church?
SPEAKER_03:We might get one trigger-treater. No, they have like two.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, but the kids aren't there all the time.
SPEAKER_03:No, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm probably gonna handle candy. This might be the last one, though. I want to handle candy, but I'm I'm kind of being angry about things. So you're moving too now. So when you move, are you planning to handle candy there? Oh, yeah, 100%. Oh. So it is because of the neighbors, you know. No, it's a long driveway. I would just like I would okay, let me put it this way. I'm not being sorry. I'm gonna handle candy. I would just appreciate it if um others would participate more than just coming to our house and hand us hand it out for them. How's that?
SPEAKER_04:I think you're whiny about it.
SPEAKER_03:You've been a you've been a like a whiny about Halloween. Put it this way You've been a huge proponent of Halloween, like more than anybody else I know. But I just I'm the only one on my whole street that hands out candy. Not one other house does. Not one. No, not one. No way, not one. The Russians don't believe in Halloween, so they shut their lights off. It's like it's against their like religion or some some weird thing. It's not a religious thing, it's just a fun thing. I'm telling you, they told the guy is Daryl's age said that they can't do it because it's something to do with their culture. So the kids didn't get to go out to no oh man, that's terrible. It's something to do with their culture. You're you're in America. Take out a new you're gonna embrace the new culture. I'm telling you what they told me. I'm not saying it's right or wrong.
SPEAKER_04:I'm just called assimilation.
SPEAKER_03:Assimilation, not assimilation, assimilation. No, not insemination.
SPEAKER_04:I didn't say insemination. I said assimilate. Assemblation.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yes. But um, so they're gone. The old people didn't turn their lights on. The name so no one in the color sack even gives out. So then across the street, they are out trick-or-treating like you, but they don't leave uh they didn't well when their kids are younger, they're moved now, but they would Oh they moved, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they would go, they would go around his dog's name again?
SPEAKER_04:He had a dog that was like a fishing yeah, Loomis. Loomis, that's what it was.
SPEAKER_03:They would uh either bring their candy to our house or they just shut their laugh because they were out with their kids, so they wouldn't do it. And then uh they would they would go out, they would have the four-wheel with the uh trailer, which I don't know, anybody can't just walk, but then uh they went they would be all be out on his trick or treat on his four-wheeler and ride, so they had their life.
SPEAKER_04:We did that. We used to drive on uh uh on um what's his face in polo on the trailer? Trying to think of his whatever. We'd go on his trailer and we would um he's he's on the podcast all the time. Um sweet tea? Sweet T, thank you. Sweet T, sweet, we go on Sweet T's trailer for a couple years when the kids were little and he would have a trailer with hay bales and stuff like that, and then we ended up running over one of the kids. Yeah, so then we stopped doing that. I know turned into a shit show.
SPEAKER_03:I know, I know. Kid was fine, nobody got ran over in our neighborhood, but so he would be gone and their lights would be off. There was no house at the other house. Next door neighbor, they're crabby, they turn the lights off.
SPEAKER_04:And then another right next door, like the the cop.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, he turns that's well, he well, he's kind of yeah, he don't want to mess with his yard. Oh, really? You don't mess with his yard?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, anything.
SPEAKER_04:Your brother told me that and then next he's he's obviously he's retired now, so it's not like he damn near died.
SPEAKER_03:And then the next one they were next door, and I mean did you hear about that?
SPEAKER_04:It's like a fluke.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, the kid just showed up randomly, wasn't even planning. If it wasn't for him, he'd be dead. Yeah, yeah, I know. I heard that. Yeah, yeah. I talked to your brother about it. Um, and then the other lady next door who moved out, she'd just come over and bring her candy over here and sit in my garage with us.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, she's good people.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER_04:Where does she go to now?
SPEAKER_03:She's out in the oh, kind of by you, up by Hanover, Corcoran on the 50 plus community, 55 in the older community. She might go outside. Uh it's like not even it's like uh it's like a community, but it's like uh standalone like townhouses. Oh, like the in-laws. I don't know. She had community, they have activities.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, they don't have activities. My in law my in-laws have like are they like standalone townhouses?
SPEAKER_03:It's like that, but it's in a community where they have like stuff going on.
SPEAKER_04:This this is all I think this is a 55 plus. But you have to go through them, they're connected to a regular neighborhood, which is weird, right? So it's a regular neighborhood, and then they have these standalone townhomes that are an association kind of crap, whatever. And I think you have to be 55 plus to get in there, too. I think I don't know that for sure. But uh he's at the cabin all summer long, so he's got like the neighbors that are going through and make to maintain his yard because the the the landscaping companies doesn't do a good enough job. So he doesn't so you know the other old old guys next to him. The old guys next to him always like go through and over-fertilize and do all that crap and maintain the property.
SPEAKER_03:One of my customers lives over there. Yeah, he has told me the same thing as yeah, they come around, but I end up buying a lawnmower, and I just bag it myself. I just I know they mow up, but then I just do it after they're done.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, these are they they they plow the driveways before the before the plowing company comes in there, so he's always got his driveway plowed before the blowing the before the people show up. It's just like there's like these old guys just have nothing better to do.
SPEAKER_03:I'm surprised he doesn't put a few.
SPEAKER_04:What's my in-law? I mean, I'm surprised he's not doing that, but he's got hobbies.
SPEAKER_03:I'm surprised he doesn't put a fence on.

SPEAKER_04:What are the rules?
SPEAKER_03:Oh! Oh, yeah! So we get these adults that come up to us and they're like trick or treat. And we're like, we're like, trick or treat what? Well, can I get a piece of chocolate?
SPEAKER_04:No.
SPEAKER_03:And we're like, yeah, you can, you know, obviously, but then it's like why don't they just take one from the kids? So then the one time I'm assuming that they're with their kids, right?
SPEAKER_04:So but why can't you just go in your kids' bag and grab a grab of Snickers?
SPEAKER_03:So then the one time this gal comes up to my staff member and stared and she just stared at her, didn't say anything. Yeah. And she goes, she grabbed, she goes, Well, I'm just gonna grab a chocolate. I don't care if you don't care. And she grabbed a chocolate and she walked away, and she goes, God, that lady was giving me the stare down. And then she looks down, and I didn't even grab chocolate. I got like a gummy beer or something like that. I said, Well, it is for the kids. That wasn't really a good story. No, that wasn't.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, there was a there was a um a video I just saw not too long ago of a guy carrying on a fake Spider-Man kid.

SPEAKER_04:It's just so he goes into it, it's like turning his like sign to the kid and the kid's dumb moving and then he picks him up, throws over his shoulder, and walks away again. Oh, that's kind of funny.
SPEAKER_03:Anyways, all right. Well, that's the Halloween. I hope you guys carved a jack-o'-lantern.
SPEAKER_04:I didn't do anything yet.
SPEAKER_03:Yet? I'm no. Why? What do you mean yet? Are you supposed to do it already? Yeah. Do you have your stuff out? Do you decorate the house a little bit? No.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, put a jack-o'-lantern out and a couple like I think we got like a blow-up like ghost or something. Blow up doll?
SPEAKER_03:No, like the fan. Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun and scary and spooky. Yeah, it's not. I had music on tonight, and that was it.
SPEAKER_04:Tonight?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Oh, like scary music or like yeah, like Halloween music. Oh.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we didn't do that. Yeah, I'll do that next time. All right. Well, I need to do cocktail because I've been talking about it.
SPEAKER_03:I know too, and I want to get out the Halloween topic because I'm gonna I got some got some good stories coming up. That was just the intro. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:So nope, that was uh that was a good one though, actually.
SPEAKER_03:Did you watch the Vikings? They're terrible.
SPEAKER_04:Last place, baby.
SPEAKER_03:I they're so bad.
SPEAKER_04:What is I thought I thought we we're gonna get into this one too, but I thought they'd be better than the Bears for God's sakes. Bears are fucking Bears are beating us.
SPEAKER_03:I don't care. They just they don't even care.
SPEAKER_04:All right, well, we're gonna we'll get into this later. All right, let's go make a new brandy. Go get some E and J's. Okay, and we'll get going. I always make all right, just to recap real quick here. So we we we logled the the thing in Iowa real quick. So that was if they don't that they go they go the night before Halloween, which makes zero sense. I mean, it's not like it's on a weekend, they're not like strict holding it to like a Saturday or Sunday or Friday or whatever. They're just doing the night before. They call it Beggars Night, so they changed the whole damn name.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. And they've been doing this since 1938. Well, they stopped it recently.
SPEAKER_04:Then they then they recently stopped it because there was a storm, so they couldn't do it on the on the on the regular night. Durachel. There was a Durachel-ish, maybe no, I think it was a snowstorm. There was a storm. No, Drachel. They couldn't do it on the normal beggars night, and they had to do it on regular Halloween night. Yeah, and then they'll realize, hey, we should just do this on regular Halloween night every time. I'm telling you.
SPEAKER_03:There's something wrong with the state of Iowa and people in Des Moines. It's just, I mean, there some of them are good people and everything, but there's a reason why there's a fence around the whole state. I don't think there's a fence around the whole state. There is too.
SPEAKER_04:I don't think so.
SPEAKER_03:There is, and so they don't they can't let us go down there and we don't want them to come here. I've been to Iowa many times. There's stronger borders there than it is on our borders. I don't think so. Yeah. Not anymore. They have a big gang problem, too. Iowa does? Oh, yeah. What kind of gangs? Like Mexican gangs, I think, or Latinos, or what what do you say? Really? Yeah. Don't worry. I don't know. What do you do? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Southern Southern American?
SPEAKER_03:I guess. I didn't. I'm not making up. I'm just telling you what I heard. Anyways. That doesn't make sense. Really? In Iowa. Yeah. Same in in Omaha. Really? Yeah. Is that because of all the um I don't know why. Don't ask me why, because I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:Well, they have like a lot of like migrant labor. Sure. Sure.
SPEAKER_03:Probably farmers.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:By the way. By the way. Yeah. On a side note. All right. Tonight at the way. At um oh my god. I just thought a couple of things too. Oh yeah. All right. The first thing is, by the way, tonight at the old um what's the name of that place? Where? Shady's. It's a little place a little bar flight. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. They had mid flight plane tonight. Mid flight. You texted me then. I don't know who I'm gonna give them a shout out because it's like four young dudes. And why do they come so with midflight? Did you ask them that? Yeah, yeah, they said why and I wasn't there's something to do because they have a different name when they play like um street dances and like outdoor concerts, but this is more of an acoustic acoustics setup.
SPEAKER_04:Why would you have acoustic? Why would you play like rock and stuff?
SPEAKER_03:It's a well, it was really good. I'm telling you, these guys were good. I would go see, I would love to go see them. So was it like original music or was it like they were so good that Nagzilla thought that they were lip syncing? I said they're not lip syncing, they were playing Roy Orberson, and I was like, these guys are really good.
SPEAKER_04:Playing Roy Orberson, right?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, and I'm like, she's like, they're lip sync. I go, they are not lip syncing. We're like six inches away from them. I'm watching them, they're not lip syncing. I go, is he air guitaring it and they're air drumming it too?
SPEAKER_04:So they play like pretty woman?
SPEAKER_03:Uh wasn't that Roy Orberson? Yeah, he sings pretty woman. They sang a different one. Um, the other his other hit. It was really good. I don't think he had more one or two hits. Well, it was the other one. The the other one. They were really good. And you know why? Why? I I I couldn't think of the word, but then I thought of it after we left. They have good harmony. Harmony. You couldn't you forgot that word? I couldn't think of what they was trying to think of, but they had good harmony. They're from uh uh Sex Center, so local guys.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, they're good people-ish.
SPEAKER_03:I think they're good people. I would love to go see them again. I was in fact, I was gonna invite them out to the lake. Yeah, we should have. And have them compete against the uh Becker Big Lake uh band. Oh, there you go. I like that idea. All right, here.
SPEAKER_04:I got some Roy Orbison here. You got it.
SPEAKER_03:That was it. Yeah, that was it. That was a son. Anyway, you nade, you got it. They were really good. Oh, yeah, I know what's good. It was really, I'm not, I mean, let's calm down. I mean, they I mean, it's a small tone little bar. I mean, I don't, I'm not ready to give them a Grammy quite yet, but I would say that very solid performance.
SPEAKER_02:Huh.
SPEAKER_03:They were good, and if you looked at them, yes, this is it. Tuesday, they didn't have that high pitch of ways, but anything you want. They were really good. Yes, that's not bad. Yeah, I haven't heard this one for a long time. They're really good. I wish you guys could have came and enjoys it with us because we probably would have stayed in the phone. Look how young he looks in this photo. Thank you.
SPEAKER_04:I you oh oh I mean I I look at I'm looking at this uh here. I'm looking at this picture, and this is what I think of when I think of Roy Orberson. This one right here.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Not not that one I just showed you.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, anyways, these this this and they're young, little, young little dudes, and they looked a little like you would not be a little odd singing this kind of music because they're younger dudes. Right. If you would have seen these guys, it would have been like um your son, your oldest boy, and a couple of his buddies just go up there and then start singing this, and you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what? What is this coming from? You know, and then this one squiggly dude that was in the um, I think he's like a waiter or wait, he where he works in the cook at the place. He came up in one of the songs. I'm like, what's this guy doing? And he had like an iPad in his hand because he I don't think he knew the words. He jumped out on the other mic, like, like, say we had a guest here on the podcast. Yeah, he went on the last mic and he went up and he started singing part of the song with them, and he was really good, and he looked nervous and everything, but he did good. So he was just the dude from the back, yeah. I was like, what the shit's happening here? These guys, I thought, God, if we had a manager that could we could get these guys famous, they're really good. I'm just telling you, you should start managing music. I think we should. I can get music when I hear it. I don't know how much I don't think because then the the lady that hired him, she came up to us because so that you know there's a guy with the big beard that's the normal beard bar tetter there, pretty cool guy.
SPEAKER_04:He does all the I've only been there like maybe three times. So apparently, I don't know, I don't know who the normal guy is.
SPEAKER_03:Apparently, this lady must be in more in charge because she came up to us. Uh, everyone she comes up, she goes, Hey, what do you guys honestly? What do you think of the band? I said, I'd say two thumbs up. Really, are you sure? Because I wasn't gonna hire them, and I know we've had used to have them outside. We this is the very first band we were hiring, but they do the street dance outside, and they were good, but this is inside, so they'll do and I was like, two thumbs up. I'd I'd hire them again. They do the street dance up there. We should how could we never go to the street dance again? I kind of like that place. I like that place. I think they get good food, too. The guy with the beard, he's good people. I mean, he goes to the bar? No, well, this time, and he goes, because he goes, he was helping, he was our waiter and he was the bartender. We got our food in like two minutes.
SPEAKER_04:I think I know who you're talking about.
SPEAKER_03:They got the big came over and he goes, he goes, Hey, I know I didn't bring that brandy over, so I'll be right back. I saw sorry, because I just finished and I asked, I go, give me another one. He came back, he burned it. And he comes back, he says, How was it? I go, Whew. He goes, Yeah, that's because I was late giving to you. So you thread it. Oh, yeah. I don't know if that's good or bad, though. Oh, it's really good. I don't know. Yeah, it was nice I am. I've had some, I've had some pretty burnt drums. I had a few already, so it's yeah, well, it's it's good.
SPEAKER_04:It's it's easier to pound them down when you had it. But actually, the if you get by the if you burn the first one, you kind of choke it down a little bit. And then the second, third, and fourth all get better, better, better.
SPEAKER_03:One more thing about this band, put it this way it's a small venue, and he had like eight people dancing. They did, the band did.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, really? And it was early to Roy to Roy Orbison?
SPEAKER_03:Well, it wasn't just Roy Orbison. They played a bunch of songs.
SPEAKER_04:Like, what kind of like genre?
SPEAKER_03:I would say they played Morgan Wallen. Okay, and then they played like Roy Orbison, and like they played classic rock. It was but they but it was more acoustical. Like it wasn't like you know, like it was like wasn't as loud, wasn't like no, it wasn't loud, you would have liked it. So you can actually talk. Yes, it was nice, it was perfect level, and I know I said that to uh next. I said, perfect level. I go, I said, even Eddie would like this, Eddie would like this because it was clean, yeah, and not loud. I do like that, and they weren't screaming, and it was really nice. I don't know, I'll explain. I think I explained it good enough. Well, you don't have to log them, and maybe they'll find out where they're playing it next. I thought they're solid. What'd you just call them again? Um one more time, one more time for people so they can lug them. If they're you're from in the you know the Minnesota area. Their name tonight was mid-flight. Mid flight. Mid-flight. I feel like I'm their um, you know, like you know when you go like a hockey game and they got the scouts up in there. I'm like one of the music scouts. I'm like, get them famous. Yeah, because we got millions and hundreds of well, we got thousand thousands of listeners.
SPEAKER_04:We got listeners.
SPEAKER_03:It just takes one. Okay, did you do the uh the uh the shout-out or no? No, not yet. No, oh, because I was gonna do the the hunting's the hunting um story after the shout-out. Oh we might have to wait on that because we're uh there's a well can we just can we just tease it a little bit? Can we just tease my story a little bit? Can I just say your story? The story that happened last weekend.
SPEAKER_04:The yeah, you can tease it. I don't know what part you're gonna tease because it was it was there's a lot, there's a lot of different layers to that story.
SPEAKER_03:I was just gonna say that it's hunting season though. It is hunting season though, and so happy hunting season to all our listeners all day. If you like to shoot some ducks, oh you know what? What um after you left at one night to the bar, and we only we weren't that long behind you the one night.
SPEAKER_04:Um yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:One of our solid listeners' son transferred to go to school there, and he was at the bar and he came up. I took a snapshot and sent it to their folks. Oh, really? Yeah, they're avid listeners. In fact, he even said the I ran into a couple people that I mean they uh I wear my uh I wore my shirt that one night. Oh, I know they want to get on the show. I got a lot of that, it's so close. We're we're we're taking over the camp.
SPEAKER_04:People like yeah, they knew they knew exactly where we were. Yeah, I saw that they saw my shirt and they're like, Where did I get the merch? I'm like, go to the website and brandbs.com.
SPEAKER_03:Yep, yep. Get your merch there. But yeah, there was a lot of people that wanted the merch. But, anyways, I'm gonna do a shout out to his parents because they texted me and uh I hadn't seen them for a while, but they're good people. They got a cabin over in the Scotty area. Oh, I like Scotty actually. Yeah, they're they live in our hometown, but or near our hometown, but they got plays up there, and their son transferred. I don't know where he was at. He was playing uh lacrosse in college, and now he transferred to uh UND. And I see him at the olbarski playing lacrosse. You play you probably did go to Wisconsin somewhere. I don't imagine.
SPEAKER_04:That's kind of a that's kind of like Wisconsin. I mean, it's I know I know that there's a city called lacrosse in Wisconsin. There is a city called lacrosse. I don't know if they have the college though, do they? Maybe they do. But I don't know. But that I know other people that it have had kids that went to play lacrosse and they went to Wisconsin. I can't think of, I mean, unless you go to like uh St. Thomas or something.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, did you see that? They got a new uh ice arena. St. Thomas does. Yeah, million million dollar facility. Some uh couple, old couple donated millions to build it because they're not D1 division. What's that name of that new stadium? You guys were there! Your cue was telling me you guys were there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:We did a bunch of yeah, we put a bunch of stuff in there.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you don't you you just don't you just know about it?
SPEAKER_04:You didn't I do, I didn't go it's like fancy. I it's I've seen it.
SPEAKER_03:And they're actually pretty good, they're pretty good. And they got it's a multi-purpose. I think they have basketball there and they have the ice random in the same facility.
SPEAKER_04:That makes more sense, yeah. Yeah, no, I I saw I saw some photos of it. I didn't actually go there though. It just opened this week, but I had other stuff to do.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, you didn't. You have nothing to do except for look at you ever you ever like count sheep? I don't know, I don't know how that would work, right?
SPEAKER_04:No, like when you're laying because when you're like relaxing when people go to sleep, how does that whole count sheep thinking work? That doesn't make sense to me.
SPEAKER_03:By the way, before we finish this story about sheep, oh my god, we took the side roads home from last weekend. We went through that small town called um, I think we're in Wheaton, Minnesota. Wheaton, and we're going through, and two goats went across the street. Did you see any birds? Zero, zero, yeah. I went I wanted the whole back. I went back to the back. Really? Well, you heard that the GNR guy said five thousand fifty thousand the week before, right where we were hunting. We always in the wrong time. Missed it every time. Always either too late or too early, or too whatever. I remember we went there, or I drove home that I went the back way also, but I went further south.
SPEAKER_04:No, I went further north. You went further south. Yeah, I took away. And I zigzag, zigzag, zigzags. I went through all kinds of different areas. Yeah, but I found like a I found like a I passed a um a sign on the side of the road, some ladies like uh like farm, farm kitchen or something like that. Farm bake farmer bakery, farm bakery or something like that.
SPEAKER_03:And I will stand like on the side of the road. So I stopped and he got some cookies. You got some what? Cookies. Why do you gotta say it like that? How old would you say it? Why would what is wrong with cookies? How old would you say cookies? It's like you're saying sneakers. What is wrong with you? It's not cookies, it's not cookies, it's cookies, it's cookies. That's what I said.

SPEAKER_03:I don't know what's wrong with you. Why don't you go put your go put your sneakers on? You put your sneakies on? Do you want to go? Do you want to go? You want to go pray night? Because as you guys last weekend, uh Fun Police keeps telling, well, first of all, she thinks the dog speaks English and like talks to her because she always asks them, do you want to go nun night?
SPEAKER_04:But the dog doesn't understand the words. Nun night? The dog understands.

No, like Abu Garcia, crawlers, and then uh what else do they have? Are they they callers and and what minnows?
SPEAKER_04:No, I don't think they have minnows. Fish. Sweet tea in a place they can go get minnows of.
SPEAKER_03:I like how you say cookies. Cookies. Here's something wrong with you. That's not even how you let's see that.
SPEAKER_04:But I I I purchased some snacks at a roadside stand. It was an honor system, and I gave him an extra dollar because I didn't. I bought nine dollars worth of stuff and it I gave him ten. Well, could that was really nice of you? I didn't well I'm not gonna go in there and dig other shit.

SPEAKER_04:Uh, just skating. Playing some boot? They're doing some more work out there.
SPEAKER_03:Were they playing boots?
SPEAKER_04:There was some backward product, I guess.
SPEAKER_03:It's funny because any kid that any kid that goes to that school, their parents are wealthy because it's like the most expensive school in Minnesota. No, is it? One of them, yeah. Really? It's not cheap, yeah. Unless you get a scholarship, but yeah, it's expensive.
SPEAKER_02:Really? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03:I think my neighbors got uh two kids that went there. Well, it's not cheap. Huh. It's not cheap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, anyway, so Honda Season started. It has started. Yep. And I talked about the Randall band. We crossed that out. But we'll uh we should talk about the story about that so we can repeat North Dakota.
SPEAKER_04:Well, we need to pause maybe for a second because we need it, we need let's let's fill up another another half a drink worth of show.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I can say we can do a quick sports three minutes. Can we make it three minutes and or four minutes? I don't care. Normally it's two minutes. I got so much to say about sports. Can we make it like three minutes maybe?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we can do three minutes, but it's there's there's really not a lot of good stuff to talk about. I've got to be honest with you.
SPEAKER_03:I'm just telling you that we live in Loserville. And the sooner's not good. And as soon as that everybody accepts that, the sooner that you're not gonna be all upset when they don't make it.
SPEAKER_04:Well, you know, we do got uh we got we got soccer. Oh wait, that they didn't do anything either.
SPEAKER_03:No, the USA team's doing well, and then the girls team was one-one. I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, we got we got uh women's basketball. Oh, wait, they lost two.
SPEAKER_03:Put it this way. You remember uh Jaker's? He said, I think I've come to grips that it'll never happen in my lifetime. Here? The the Vikings for football I think I've come to grips that it'll never I told you.
SPEAKER_04:I think what I think I said this a couple years ago. I went, I went, I'm Motor City Kitty, baby.
SPEAKER_03:They're not gonna even the punter sucks. Here's the here's here's kind of the the the the wait, our punter sucks? Yeah, he had a couple good puns. He goes, What is he goes, he go, when are we start? I go, hey, women's US soccer is on at seven on true TV. And I says, Is rapeanal or whatever that like? I think she's done. I don't understand. That chick is like that's getting conservation. I won't.
SPEAKER_04:That chick is like 50. She can't play that.
SPEAKER_03:I can't say that sentence. Okay, she's too old. I said, Oh, there's oh, here's what I said. Here's what I said bureau. I go, I go, hey, why are there referees? Just go to AI after every play. We will now get carved up on this stripe. Remember because it was uh we uh intercepted and they said they bobbled it. He did. I don't think he did. I don't think he did because he had that one hand, the one hand came off of it, but the other hand was a little bit more than a little bit. Referees don't have slow motion in your eyes. Call it as you seize it and just let it go. Uh he the one hand, wait. So one hand one hand came away from the ball, but the other hand was completely still grabbing it. Uh you're missing the whole point. I think it's bullshit. Referee calls it why do we have to have slow motion instant replay? That was a catch. Call it how you seize it. If it's right as right, if it's wrong as wrong, and move on. Why do we gotta slow it down like last week when they caught that in the end zone? Yep. I said, what are we doing? What are we doing? So then why what's the point of the referee then? The referee does nothing. Because we're not going to uncontroversial.
SPEAKER_04:Well, kind of.
SPEAKER_03:Why don't we just have the AI do everything?
SPEAKER_04:They well, they probably could actually. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:We will not, and then he goes, we would all get covered up on this drive. Yep.
SPEAKER_04:When is okay you mean oh so they we can they did too because they get next word? They walked down like like 14 plays in like eight minutes.
SPEAKER_03:This ain't a part of my two-minute rant. But here's what here here's what I'm just gonna rant. I'm gonna I'm gonna go down the line because here's what it I figured out why I'm so mad. Did you text him the whole time this game? Yeah, so I go, I go, when is Brosner coming in? He goes, he goes, when is Ziggy gonna sell? I'm going back to women's soccer. He goes, I hear the squash is heating up. Good. At least there's one good Minnesota team. I hate the Vikings. I wrote. I'm only watching out of spite. Swiss cheese D. If we had Sam Durham, we would be undefeated. Quase team, bunch of stiffs. I think the whiffs cuddle their players too much. McCarthy should be playing. Idiots. They suck. Good low turn. Complete idiots. Just forfeit. Benny Hill song I wrote. They suck so bad. He can't trap anyone. I said, I went to the antique roadshow. Here I come. Oh, wait, my mistake. It's Miss Scarlet on Masterpiece. On PPS. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to watch Old Sue Gopher Games. Three and out coming. We are a D3 college team. Idiots. I turned the channel. I don't care. You ever watch old Sioux hockey games? Yeah. He goes, they're the weakest ass team in the league. Get pushed from waver. No grit, overpaid, underdelivered. How come Jalen Hurts turns that to a 40-yard game? Anyways, I'm not going to keep going on, but Jesus crazy. I finally said, here's exactly. I summed it up in one sentence. As a Viking fan, here's here's my thing. For me personally. Do you this sum up your whole the whole game or the season? I this sums up the Vikings in my mind. All right. And I don't care about wins or losses. Here's what it here's what it comes up.
SPEAKER_04:Everybody cares about wins and losses.
SPEAKER_03:I wrote it for 20 years or more, maybe since 1998, because 1998 was awesome. Right. And we can take off 2009 when Farbo's with us. But the Vikings always face third and eight plus yards and throw it one yard. Right? Every single time. Yeah. For the most part. One day I'd love to know why. It's a game plan, baby. Green Bay always. Green Bay always at least. No, no, no. It's not even just Green Bay. They always throw past the thumbmarker.
SPEAKER_04:If you have a good quarterback, you always throw past that. It's the quarterback. But it's the quarterback. The quarterback picks and chooses who does he throw it to.
SPEAKER_03:I maybe and checks down. And then that, and between that and our clock management is why I'm no longer watching. Because two weekends ago, we were coming back and actually had a chance. It was six minutes left. We're down by two, uh, uh uh two weekends ago, like the one on the way back from from North Dakota? Yes. Yeah. You get watching the car? I kind of often on. I had it on. There were six, like 48 left in the game. Yeah. And we were only down by like, let's say, 10 points. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Yeah. They walk up to the line. No, there's no urgency.
SPEAKER_04:No.
SPEAKER_03:But it's been like that for 20 years. They always do. Remember when Favre was on the Packers? Yeah. They would be down, they would run up there, throw it out, get out of bounce. Yeah. Hunt, throw it, get out of bounds. It wouldn't even spray the ball. No. He would you would you would do a quick pass out of bounce? Why the hell don't we do that? They don't do that. I don't care if you win or lose. Effort. At least if you put effort in. At least that gets ahead. It looks like you're trying to win. Right. Right. They won. At least at least you can keep your fans in the ball. I don't understand. Yeah. I can't take it. And it's those two things. It's the it's the third down and long. I honestly think you're going to be able to do that. Third down and long. And oh, okay. Third down to 16 handoff. Why? So we can punt it? So we have three more yards to punt it. That means you don't like your players.
SPEAKER_04:They don't try. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:If it's third and 16, throw the ball 17 yards. If it's incomplete, punt it. Try.
SPEAKER_04:Right. Try.
SPEAKER_03:Try.
SPEAKER_04:That's the thing.
SPEAKER_03:If there's 30 seconds left in the first half and you're worried about taking a knee, just go down and play the goddamn game like you're gonna play, like you want to win. Why don't you care? Oh, we don't want to throw an interception and have them run. Don't throw an interception! Don't throw an interception! If it's not there, throw it out of bounds. Try. They don't. What is wrong with these people? They're not like they're professionals. They're professionals. They get paid to do this. If they don't try them, don't pay them. Fire them. Right? They get paid. So it's a it's a it's a job to them. They don't give they don't give a shit.
SPEAKER_01:Fire them if you don't like them.
SPEAKER_03:Who's had it why what would have been wrong about putting Brosner in? Why would why would what what would have been oh because our our Wance was hurt and he was doing terrible? What would have m bad or what would have really made a difference if we get Brosners a shot? Maybe Broser is really good. Maybe he's a good core, maybe he's not. But would it really had an outcome? The only outcome that would have been different is that we won.
SPEAKER_04:We've all we've all had employees that are like pre men's like that, right? So they just don't put the final effort in.
SPEAKER_03:What am I missing? What am I missing? If I'm the owner of the team, I'd be like, what the shit are we doing? Put Brozner in because he's hurt, he's doing terrible. At the halftime, I would have said, he's hurt, he's not doing good, it's not his day. Whatever the reason is, who cares?
SPEAKER_04:I want Brosner in there anyways. I think McCurdy's a bust.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, I know. I think Brosner's doing good.
SPEAKER_04:I think I would love to see Brosner in there.
SPEAKER_03:And look at look at a guy last year that we didn't want. He went 14. Okay, he won 14 games and we didn't like him because he was a mental case on the big games. Okay, well, you're the quarterback whisperer. So why don't we just take what we have and make it better? Well, he was. Look at him this year. No, he's he's like top five quarterback in the league. I don't care. He is still gonna choke. Is he is he worse than what we have now? No, but he's still gonna choke. But who's not gonna choke?
SPEAKER_04:But we're not so you're you're you're bitching about them choking in the playoffs. If he was with us, he'd still we still wouldn't do anything.
SPEAKER_03:We have we have too many injuries, we have too many, we have too many problems. But you know what? I will say, I will say this. I'm okay with them losing it, just get in the playoffs and heat up and then go. I'd rather have that than go 14 and 3 and blow in the first round. Like they normally do. It'd be nice if we actually if this McCarthy guy they normally hit the playoffs and lose the first round. Yeah, it'd be nice if we kind of have a shittier like regular season, but then we heat up and then we get in and then do good. We would forget about this whole crap early in the game. 98?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that was a huge left out.
SPEAKER_03:2009? That he was locked out. Um, miracle, and they blew it in Philadelphia. Yeah. Did I see? Yeah, that was a but it was 2009, they should have won the Super Bowl in 1998. Yes, they screwed up, they they did it themselves.
SPEAKER_04:Which is my entire life. They've they've they've become NFC champ, NFC central, whatever champs a couple times.
SPEAKER_03:I would just like to see him go to NFC championship in the playoffs. I've never even been to a Super Bowl my entire life, and I'm not and I'm not young, I'm not a young man anymore. I'm telling you, this McCarthy's a bust. If he's a bust, because almost every other quarterback that's watched him play. The couple games I watched him play. One good quarter. One out of eight. Yes. And out of every other quarterback that drafted that year, they're all doing good right now. They're all doing good. Everyone that drafted this year. And we get injured. But the problem is, the problem is injured in Michigan. The problem is your cousin says he's good though. He said, Get don't give up on him yet. I'm giving up on him.
SPEAKER_04:I think he's I think.
SPEAKER_03:Well, you'll give up on everything. No, I think he's a bust. I'd rather spend I'd rather get Rosner in there. I like Rosener. I mean, look at some of the best quarterbacks in history. I mean, Joe Montana. These guys were like first round draft picks. No, I know. And why didn't they uh Brady? Why didn't they put him in that second half? Explain to me. Why didn't Did you see him when he got hit? Couldn't even move his arm. Yeah, just put him, yeah. Paul. Why would they say why wouldn't they keep him in? Yeah, I don't know. Well, what? What you're gonna lose by last? I never understood losing by last. Is that making you feel better? And why did they kick a field goal? Oh my god. Get the biggest. I turned a channel. We were down by like I turned the channel off. We got six points. I'm like, I said, honestly, I'd fire the coach right now because there's zero chance why we'd kick the field goal right there because it does zero good. No, and then I went off to I went off to um what was that show on channel two? PBS.
SPEAKER_04:It was called um um antique air, antique uh roadshow.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but it was called something else. And I came back and uh all of a sudden it was 10. We got 10 points. I'm like, how'd we get a touchdown? Or how do we get four points? I said right. Well, apparently something happened on that field goal that we had too many someone had too many men, so they missed it. They went over and they got a touchdown. I'm like, okay, great, we're only down by two scores. Put Broz in around. No, right.
SPEAKER_04:No, they can't do that.
SPEAKER_03:I don't get what can you explain?
SPEAKER_04:I want to see Brozner do something.
SPEAKER_03:I think it's can you explain to me what goes to their mind? Then why don't I have him on the team? I well, he's a third he's well.
SPEAKER_04:He's second story right now, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, Marcelo's emergency, right? So why don't they just put Brozner in? I don't know. I agree with you. I don't know. I mean, what what he's young guys is this our three minutes? Are we done with this? Three minutes. I'm fucking part of my language, but I I'm done with the Vikings. I can't I don't even want to watch them. I don't I don't even get mad anymore because I don't even care. Because I don't even goddamn care. Because why would I care? It's not the goddamn wild the wild suck, no.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, the wildmen, yeah. Not doing good.
SPEAKER_03:I what they did good two games ago. They played well, very well the two games ago. Last game, they look worse than the Vikings.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, they're not doing good. They look like we're not doing anything.
SPEAKER_03:We're loserville.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, no, I was watching our I was uh oh in North Dakota last week. We were driving by, I was driving by a house and I saw Packers guys, Packers fans. I'm like, yeah, I don't blame you. I get it.
SPEAKER_03:Because it you know they ain't got one, so we're doing good, yeah, and they're like the youngest team in the league. Yeah, they're both their first place. Why can't we do that?
SPEAKER_04:We don't have the yeah, we don't have to do that.
SPEAKER_03:Why is it Quasio Dove Buff, whatever his name is? Nice draft picks. What is who is he at? I don't know. He has no draft picks, it's all like free agency, and they're all old. I don't know. I don't know what the diamond is. They're all buffs, they're all buzz. We should they should hire us. I couldn't do any worse. No, we would do better. I I I guarantee I could do that. I guarantee I'd make some deals and work some deals and get some people on there.
SPEAKER_04:I'd go all draft day on it.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, yeah. I'd go. I think it's a great movie. You don't watch a movie? Yeah, I like that. That's what what's his name? Costner. Oh, yeah, I like that. Yeah, yeah. And it worked out. Yeah, yeah. Because that guy was a boss, that cocky kid. He's a bus. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Well, they don't no they don't say that. I mean, they he thinks he's the boss, but The other guy was better. Vonte, no matter what.
SPEAKER_03:The owner, and then he went back around and ended up getting extra picks anyways. Yep. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Vonte no matter what. Yeah. Yep. Yep. I hear you. Let's make a quick cocktail. And then we'll get into our.
SPEAKER_03:I'm not talking about the Vikings ever again, by the way.
SPEAKER_04:We're just talking about Vikings. We're done with support.

SPEAKER_04:We went hunting.
SPEAKER_03:We went hunting in North Dakota.
SPEAKER_04:We went and shot some ducks. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Geese. We went hunting. I only shot a few deeks. We went hunting.
SPEAKER_04:I only shot a couple geese and a couple ducks. It was pretty rough.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we we we got stopped. And by the way, we got stopped by the old uh Game Warden. Yeah. And he said, Well, you guys are hunting in the right spot. You should have been here a week ago. There's 50,000 murder down there. So we're not in the right spot.
SPEAKER_04:Because there's a week ago, there was 15,000 birds on there.
SPEAKER_03:The logo birds are shot or gone. They're waiting for the northern tow down. So once again, we picked the wrong week. We would have a week earlier. We'd have been money, money, money, money, money. But we still can go back. We can go back when it gets cold. You're gonna have to.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. You know what it's gonna be. It was rough. You know what it's gonna be. It's gonna be opening deer weekend when you gotta be up there. 100%.
SPEAKER_04:We well, it could be Halloween. Is it and then you can did you just skip on a Halloween like you've been wanting to do?
SPEAKER_03:I don't know if I want to. I'm we can talk about this off here. I do that, but I'm kind of angry about Halloween. I think it's backstabbing me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, anyways, so we decided to go out and see Daryl. Oh, yeah, Daryl was a scout. Yeah, he did, he did find a couple, he found a little bit of oh he did scout a lot. Wow, but it's not just no birds. No, yeah. Well, there was birds on one spot, but he could we couldn't get permission. Yeah, yep, no answer.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it was uh it was rough.
SPEAKER_03:So we did good. We the first night we got up there, I say it was a Wednesday night, and uh what the hell is that mean? There's a fire going with colors. Oh, that's right. We forgot about that. You went up to the North Shore to look at leaks. Oh, did we?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. I did go up there. That's awesome. It was a long day.
SPEAKER_03:Anyway, so we're up in North Dakota to try to chase the old ducks and uh old Nodak. And so we went there, we did we went the first morning. We shot a few couple, not very good.
SPEAKER_04:We did that, we did a new thing this year though, because yeah, you guys invited you guys invited all the wives.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, so let's clear that up. And we stayed in a VRBO an hour and a half from where we're hunting. That was Voltap. It wasn't an hour and a half, it was 45 miles. It was an hour and a half, it was 45 miles. So the the last the last place I hunted was an hour and a half. But the deal was I mentioned that because the thing was I was it's my fault. I'll take full responsibility, and I probably won't do it ever again. I don't mind hanging out with the ladies. No, it wasn't it wasn't about the ladies we were hunting area, it was and it it didn't work out the way I wanted to. The idea was that um we want to see our two adult children, their kids, yeah, and uh f f uh Nagzill wanted to see him as well. And I was like, well, just come up and we'll see them. You stay here and we'll go hunting, you go hang out with them, and whatever. You saw Sally at the bar that one night, and then she stopped by the house for an hour. Not much. I saw it. No, I saw it three times. Oh, did you? So anyway, it didn't really work out the way I was thinking. And hey, lesson learned. We'll stay out by the hunting. And I tried to get everybody happy to make it all work, but eh, whatever.
SPEAKER_04:No, I learned it. I didn't mind most of it. You have better, you have some decent restaurants there for food. Well, it sucks.
SPEAKER_03:We didn't quite make it.
SPEAKER_04:We didn't quite make it to the one restaurant, right?
SPEAKER_03:Right. So one day I'm gonna get the story. So we went hunting one day and we stopped in this town to have a little lunch. Gotta have lunch, right? We're hungry. We went all day. We were up. That was actually pretty good. We were up at like I had chicken fried stick. We had we all had chicken fried potatoes. I had a half-order of chicken fries. I had a full one. And at bar it was in is it Lyrimore?
SPEAKER_04:I didn't know.
SPEAKER_03:I think it was Lyrimore.
SPEAKER_04:Something like that, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:At the old bar grill in Lyrimore in uh small town. Good people. Lady was nice. Sarah, I think was her name. It was Sarah. She was great, great waitress or bartender.
SPEAKER_04:Yep, she was different.
SPEAKER_03:I liked her.
SPEAKER_04:She was she had some weird stories, and she was yeah, she was she was I think yeah, she lived in that town for too long.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So, anyways, we're sitting there and we had a little lunch. They had chicken fried steak. That was good. We decided to have some brandies, of course. All right. What at lunch? Yep. Just maybe one or two, and then we're gonna get going.
SPEAKER_04:And then we're gonna go shoot some shit.
SPEAKER_03:We're gonna go shoot or scope.
SPEAKER_04:Don't do that, people.
SPEAKER_03:Well, just one or two, just kind of wet the whistle, you know.
SPEAKER_04:That's what the plan was.
SPEAKER_03:Right. Well, somehow the cap to the bottle of the brandy disappeared, and it was long pours.
SPEAKER_04:Old Sarah did uh Sarah did some long pours.
SPEAKER_03:Oh my god, there's some long pores. And so we there were some led the four, led the five. We played, we started playing uh six five four. No, yeah. Yeah, and then you know I forget about that. Yeah, I know. We brought the dogs in. We brought the dogs in? Yeah, we brought the dogs in. And it brought a Bluetooth speaker. Yeah, we brought a speaker in. Both of them were iconated. We got tired of paying for the cheap box. Both of them got excited after about 20 minutes. And it didn't like slowly, like it wasn't like slowly like, hey, you guys should do this. It was 34 minutes. It's like, all right, dogs gotta get out now, and the music gotta shut up because this it was like a hard shut off, which was fine.
SPEAKER_04:I think did she get a phone call?
SPEAKER_03:I wonder if she might have it. I think so.
SPEAKER_04:I think they had the ring camera. Oh, they had cameras in there. And she I think she kind of shut her down pretty well because the dogs were misbehaving.
SPEAKER_03:No, they're just wandering.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, well, a little bit, not bad, but that was fine.
SPEAKER_03:Not like in the kitchen area, they were just in the in the bar area. So, at any rate, so a picture we're in a small town bar, we're all in our hunting gear. She told us to bring the dogs in, by the way. She did, yeah. And we asked her if she knew of anybody that in the area that had ducks or geese on their property. Oh, yeah, yeah. And she's like, Oh, yeah. You gotta ask, right? I'm kind of gonna take the shortcut of the story because it could last forever. But basically, she said, Yeah, go to we'll just say John Smith's health alt here, I'll give you his address and tell him I sent you. Yeah, thank you. That's awesome. So, time to get going. Me, Q, and Darrell are gonna take a different way back to the grandfather. No, no, you, Q and Darrell stayed at the bar. No, I can't I went out, I left, and I came back in. You guys are still sitting there. You guys moved from the bar. That means you're still there. I just but I had a roadie and I had a driver. No, we had roadie and a driver, and we were gonna leave, and we left right after you, and we were gonna scout the other direction because we knew what direction you were going. We're like, we'll scout it back to Grand Forks. Yeah, yeah. So that's what happened. We ended up scouting back to Grand Forks and uh Eddie. Sorry, Eddie and the kids went the other direction to farm, we'll just say Farmer Joe's is not his name, but he went to the uh place that Sarah referred us to. Awesome, thank you. And she even warned us hey, whoever goes out there, he this guy likes to chat. I didn't hear that part. Well, she did. She told me to hear that part. Well, she told me that. Okay, he goes, he likes to chat, and I'm like, I better not go because the sneezes out. Well, because you're allergic to the story.
SPEAKER_04:No, but yeah, so I I went out there with the kids.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, yeah. You went out there, super nice guy. Oh, yeah, I heard that. I haven't met him, but it's not like a real green.
SPEAKER_04:No, Brady, he's got some old cars and he likes to show them off.
SPEAKER_03:Right. Oh, yeah, that's what I heard. And then she said something about cars. She likes he likes cars. Oh, yeah. He just we went to all the bars, we went to all the garages and barns, and they're like, I'm tired of eating like order pizza or crap food at a whatever. So I'm like, hey, I'm gonna make a reservation at the fancy steakhouse in Grand Forks.
SPEAKER_04:I'm always for that. I love I love it.
SPEAKER_03:I think so. I let me call them. So I call and they're like, last reservation's at 9 30. Can you guys get your 9-30? I'm like, that is a perfect time because that gives us enough time to get back to our Airbnb, maybe shower if you want, and have a week one or two. Yep, and we can either drive there or or uh uh uh uh order an Uber and we'll be there in plenty of time. Like ETA and Grand Forks at our Airbnb was gonna be like 6:30-ish, I'm thinking. Right around 6 30. So it gave us a good three hours and make it to the restaurant, which was about I don't know, four minutes away from our Airbnb. Yeah, probably. So I'm like, yeah, that's great. So we're scouting and and uh you weren't scouting, you were just driving. Oh no, we were we were driving. No, yeah, you drove down the highway. No, we didn't. We went down the southway. We're going all the way. We go we when you called, we just got on the highway. So Eddie. I don't know. I wasn't with you. Why don't you know if you called? Yeah, I did. Oh, Eddie calls us, he's like, Hey, what are you guys doing? We're like, Well, we just got done. We're on our way back, we got back to the thing. Oh, yeah, well, we're stuck.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we got stuck.
SPEAKER_03:So mind you, it was raining out, and there's a lot of clay up there and a lot of weird ground dirt, not just like it's like clay. It didn't rain that day, it rained the day before. Yeah, it was wet. It was wet, so he got stuck. So we're like, Well, maybe it did rain that day. Yeah, I think it is, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was foggy as hell. Oh, yeah, it was foggy. Yeah, so Eddie gets stuck. We're like, okay, what do you want us to do? Well, come get us.
SPEAKER_04:Can't gonna pull me out, right?
SPEAKER_03:I mean, and I'm like, oh my gosh, wait, we he sends us the pin, and we're 46 or 47 miles away. I'm like, you gotta be shitting me. How the hell are we that far apart already? We just signed up.
SPEAKER_04:Because I spent an hour trying to lock up some land to go hunt. Walking through John Smith's 10 garages and looking at all those cars.
SPEAKER_03:God damn it. So we we have to turn around. We were debating, actually. What a dick. We were actually debating for like maybe save your life.
SPEAKER_04:I came out and saved your life one time. Well, hunting.
SPEAKER_03:When?
SPEAKER_04:In this in the blizzard.
SPEAKER_03:Not me.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. How about you and Q were in a blizzard? Not me. Walking around after the in Nebraska.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, yeah, that's right.
SPEAKER_04:And you didn't even call.
SPEAKER_03:I just went out there looking for you. Okay, but you sons of bitches were thinking debating not come pick me up. It was about five seconds. What a dick. It was five seconds. I literally saved your life that day. You were bored at the hotel. Don't pass up. I was I was nervous for you, dumbass. We we said, well, first of all, you're like you were in the heated truck. Second of all, we were five seconds and we're like, and we looked at you. We gotta go back. We didn't want to.
SPEAKER_04:But anyway, we're we'll get into that one later.
SPEAKER_03:We we we didn't we were we were more we weren't mad at you or disappointed. Yeah, we were that got stuck? Yeah, because why did you get stuck? I was checking out the problem. And now we find out, and now later, listeners, we find out later that he shouldn't have got stuck because he went too far where he shouldn't have gone, and his own kids were saying, Don't go there. I wasn't driving. Well, you in church they said that it was your fault that they went where they went. Why are you smiling? Why are you smiling? Yeah, yeah, no. You you your it's your fault. That doesn't make any sense. So, and that's why I think that five seconds was because I was trying to picture why would he get stuck if we know it's wet out there, why would he risk it? Anyways, we turn around.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, you did.
SPEAKER_03:Uh and it was like five. So I'm like, I go, by the time we get there, we can I said we could get a tow truck there.
SPEAKER_04:I called tow trucks.
SPEAKER_03:You did, and I was thinking that I go, we're 47 miles away. Why don't we just hire a tow truck to go home? Hey, Dad. So tow truck driver gets there. Kevin is the name. Well, Kim and Kevin. Kevin gets there and he says, What did he say?
SPEAKER_04:The guy from Grand Fork is like, Yeah, that's too yeah, you're better off calling somebody over there in uh Devil's Lake.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, what'd Kevin say to you?
SPEAKER_04:He said he'd be there.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, and then when he got there, what'd he say?
SPEAKER_04:He said, I can't get you out. Yeah, I can't get to you.
SPEAKER_03:So we're still on our way.
SPEAKER_04:You could have gotten to me.
SPEAKER_03:We're getting all these.
SPEAKER_04:You drove close to me.
SPEAKER_03:So here's the deal. Here's the deal. So we're getting closer and closer and closer. As we're getting closer to Eddie's truck, I'm calling his son, Chipper. Chipper answers the phone. I go, where's your dad? And all I hear is giggling every single time. I go, Chipper, we have a stake reservation at 9-3. Where's your dad? And then I hear him giggling, going, he stole a tractor and he's lost. And giggling. And I'm like, what do you mean he stole a tractor and he's lost? I didn't steal a tractor. Well, you did. I borrowed a tractor. You stole a tractor, which is awesome. I never I never took the tractor out of people off the property. The tractor stayed on the property. You stole a tractor, which I would have too. But the tractor had no lights, so so Eddie's went hot wire. You can't see it. He found a tractor in the woods and he got it started and they had no light. So he took it. You know how you guys have your think about your cell phone with the little flashlight. How well would that work if you had it out the window of a tractor when it's fucking dark?
SPEAKER_04:You can't you can't see 5v in front of you.
SPEAKER_03:So so we got that going on, but that's what that's one thing. And I'm thinking, GPS guy, how do you not have it marked to where you were on GPS on your phone?
SPEAKER_04:I do, but I can't watch my phone and use the light at the same time.
SPEAKER_03:It was hard to and every time I call Chipper, every time I call him 75 times and he's giggling more, laughing harder and harder. I'm like, this ain't I'm starting to like this ain't funny.
SPEAKER_04:So I I yeah, so we we made it.
SPEAKER_03:He's like, my dad's lost, he's like two miles away. I go, how is he two miles away? Because he can't see. I go, have you thought about going out there and try to help him? Well, we're stuck. I go, no, I mean walk.
SPEAKER_04:We we we we're coming in there, and the kids are like, remember that tractor we saw when we came in? Like, oh yeah. So I'm like, well, jumped out, started walking over some tractor, walk like a mile to a tractor.
SPEAKER_03:Well, that's what I took, but then I'm like, then I then I had second thoughts, and Q was like, wait a sec. Because I was like, Chipper, why don't you go walk and find? And I'm like, no, just stay in the truck. Yeah, because then we have a missing kid. You could not see 10 feet away. Well, that's this is only half the story, you listeners. So so that's going on, but we're me and Q and Darrell are heading back that way to try to help me. Try to help me, yeah. And I'm driving around, I'm driving around like a main I'm starving.
SPEAKER_04:I'm one field over driving in circles because I can't figure out how to get over to the other side. Yeah, because there's a tree line. And I thought the tree line that I was driving on was the same, was the opposite tree line of where I was at.
SPEAKER_03:So I was one field over driving around in circles, trying to figure out where the hell I was at. So weird. And I'm and I'm out of hammer because of the of the lawn pores at the bar.
SPEAKER_04:But I don't those things are those things are strong.
SPEAKER_03:I don't know if Q was really doing so well on our dry back. On her drive back. And I'm trying to navigate, and I'm talking to your son. There's no way he's giggling the whole time.
SPEAKER_04:There's no way you guys are doing good because those are those were some stiff drinks.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I was doing fine because I wasn't driving. I was navigating. Yeah, okay. But I was getting a little frustrated because I was like, all I pictured was us going to this nice restaurant, eating a nice steak, getting done, having a cigar. That sounded delicious. And I was like, I said, I might even have an E and J. I might have a uh uh uh what's those whiskey things with the big cubes?
SPEAKER_04:Old fashioned?
SPEAKER_03:I was like, I might have an old-fashioned place. I know. I was like, this is gonna be great. I'm gonna get mashed potatoes, we're gonna be nice, relaxed, no rush. I'm gonna come right now, and I'm like, and and then Chipper's just giggling every time I call him. Oh, I don't know where he's at, he's lost, we can't find him. And I'm like, okay, this ain't funny. First of all, then I started getting worried about what happened to you.
SPEAKER_04:And I'm like, well, they had this they had my spotlight, my duck spotlight, which is bright. Maybe you can see across the lake.
SPEAKER_03:Well, that's what I said. I go, Do you have a light? And I said, Turn it on so you can see it. You couldn't see it. Oh, and there's like and he's laughing about it. Yeah, you can't see it. They had it on when I got close. Well, then I'm like, but I got when I got they had it on the whole time, and when I got close, I could see it. But I'm like, there's no way I would have seen this from over there. Well, did you have your phone on you?
SPEAKER_04:I finally just I finally just went to GPS. I I I turned around.
SPEAKER_03:I was starting to get a little confirmed. I'm like, well, I quit using the what if we got stuck with the tractor they stole. I know that's what I was worried about. I I finally I finally quit using the the the light, it just went full GPS. I mean, I was uh driving blind, right? Well, and so listeners, here's here's the deal. So that's this part of the story. So the good old good old John Deere, actually. So sorry, farmer, but the John Deere saved the day, actually. Good thing it had fuel in it. And so Q and I Q and I are driving, and we're going off, we're going off GPS. Yeah. And so these roads are like um, it's not like you're going on the freeway to get there. This is all farm country, right? So you're taking back and and not quite minimum maintenance roads, but pretty close to minimum maintenance roads. That wasn't even that bad of a road. No, I know. On a normal day, that's probably so wet and greasy. So we're driving down this road, we're four miles away from them. And next thing you know, this uh we get in a section where it's like all like clay and wet and muddy, and we go right into the ditch. And we're going literally like we're going like probably between three and six miles an hour, and the steering wheel is cranked as far right as you can go, and we just go left into the damn ditch, and now we're stuck. Now we're stuck. So I'm like, well, that's great. And I'm looking, and all I'm doing is looking at the clock, going, okay, it's seven now. You're just thinking about lunch or dinner. Yeah, I'm like, okay, we're okay.
SPEAKER_04:First of all, that's like that's like come on, we're all stuck here, and you're worried about dinner.
SPEAKER_03:I wanted to be a special night for all of us, guys. A special night. Yeah, I'm like, okay, it's seven right now. We'll get out here in a half an hour. We'll just get back. You were so pissed. We'll get back by eight. We'll have one week, one shower, and we'll still get there by 9 30. Right. Okay. We got plenty of time. We're okay. Yeah. So Q is talking to uh the uh tow truck drive that's gonna get it. Well, yeah, well, he called him. He was like, I gotta I gave I gave toe truck driver because he said I can't get you out. I can't get you. Yeah, so he calls him. I'm like, listen, I have some buddies that are down the road and they're stuck. So here's the number, give him a call. And he did. He called. Yeah. And he's like, Did you get you get Eddie out? He's like, I can't go down there. And he's like, Okay, well, you gotta come here. Well, back up. And then before that, no, no, no, no, no, don't worry about it. Yeah, Darrow says, No, no, I got some friends that are farmers and they got tractors right down the road. So he calls them up, they come down in their pickup trucks, they get to the end of the row and they're like, they call him back, like, yeah, we ain't going down there. Now you want the tractor. Well, he goes, Well, what about the tractors? He goes, Too dangerous, too foggy, and because they have to go on the main road to get over there. Too dangerous because someone's gonna hit their tractor at 60 miles an hour, and we'd have to do it in the morning. Right. Okay, thank you. We'll move on. So then we call, we already told the guy, forget it. The tow truck. So Kevin, he's on his way back to Devil's Lake. So we call him back and we're like, hey, you gotta turn around. Farmer guys are not coming down here. We we gotta come down. They they said it's too bad. He's like, All right, sons of bitches, I'll come down there. So he comes down. And we're waiting. And he can't see you have to drive, you have to drive the tow truck. I didn't drive the tow truck. And we're waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.
SPEAKER_04:Well, I'm just driving around some random fields in a stolen track.
SPEAKER_03:I keep looking at the clock.
SPEAKER_04:In a borrowed track.
SPEAKER_03:I keep looking at the clock going, okay, 7:30. Now it's 745. If we get back by 8.15, we still got an hour and 15 minutes to make it to our our uh tea time. Not tea time, uh, our our reservation. We're fine. We're all good. We're all good. Well, then I'm like, dude, it's been a long time. Where's this guy at? He's not answering his phone. So me and Oh, he wasn't answering? You can't call him me and Q start walking. I go, maybe we should walk down to that house. That's where the main road was. Yeah, and we hear dogs barking.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:I'm like, oh, there's people down there. Well, that's when Daryl's buddies called me, like, we're stuck. No, they guess our too. Yeah, but at the entrance. But then they got out. They're all fine. They're like, we can't come down. Well, then tow truck guy.
SPEAKER_04:I didn't know that. I didn't hear that one.
SPEAKER_03:Tow truck guy comes down. Finally, we're like, he's like, where are you guys at? We're like flashing my 8,000 BTU light. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he comes down there. He comes down to get us out. He doesn't make it to us. He's like what 200 feet from us. He gets stuck. Yes, like before he got to you? Yeah, because he was gonna turn in and back up. Did he come in from the way from behind you? Yes. Same way you went in. Yeah. Okay. He got stuck. And we're like, oh my god. And and so then keep in mind this is all like clay. Yeah. And we have boots on and stuff. So Q's driver's side door cannot open because we're up against like these uh like weeds, or like we think of like uh uh it didn't damage the truck though. No, no, yeah, no, but I had he goes, You get in a driver's seat when they we hook it up. Well, I gotta slide over, he's got bucket seats, yeah, nice truck, and my feet go over it. All the mud goes all across the dashboard, the steering wheel, the radio, everything because I can't because you can't open the door. I'm like, oh my god, this is a shit show. And so he's like, put it in neutral. Well, they hooked up the old cable, started winching us off, and it wouldn't not come out. It just kept going further, further. I mean, it's pulling us backwards, but it wouldn't get us. It's keeping you in the in the ditch. So we made a throne, so then he's like, we've that's when I got there. That's when I got there finally. Yeah, long story short, he finally gets us out, and I get backed up. And you know the wheels are just caked with this mud, right? This thick, like clay. There's no traction. So we get back. Now we gotta get uh tow truck held. That's when I got there. So I I hadn't got my snowball. You finally now you shove it up. And I'm looking at the clock and now it's like nine 9 45. I'm like, well, we ain't eating steak anymore.
SPEAKER_04:I finally found my my my truck and my kids. I finally find them. I had it, I had a jerk strap in there, like those straps straight, you know, straps whatever do it. And I had two of them. So I hooked up both of them to it, so I'm not so those little tractors not too close to the truck. And then I hooked them both up and like, alright, I'm gonna start pulling. Snap. One of them snaps. Oh broke, one of them dead. I'm like, well, I guess I'm gonna get closer. And so I backed up more and I pulled that one strap out, and then we hooked up a ratchet strap. I had a heavy ratchet strap too. So I hooked a ratchet, a heavy ratchet strap and my other troll strap at the close range. And I ended up popping it out and jerking it, and then got it pulled out, and I just pulled them all, I kept going, going, going, going, going until they finally like got it. But I was uh I was the next day when we were back out there, we looked at that, I was digging holes.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you almost got the tractor stuck on.
SPEAKER_04:I would have got that damn tractor stuck on all.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that would have been crazy.
SPEAKER_04:I would have been horrible. There's nothing I could have done.
SPEAKER_03:No, we would have gone picked you up and waited until the morning.
SPEAKER_04:So I finally get myself out. I pull the truck out, and he drive my kid drives it all the way back off to the road. I take the tractor back, park it exactly where I fucking found it.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Exactly where I found it. Once you probably have to take a gas.
SPEAKER_03:I thought this thing had gas. It's all full of mud. The tires are the tires, the tires are just kegged with it. Kind of like when we stole that bus that time. The tires are just caked with mud. We should have taken that bus and jumped. I was so close when we stole that bus that we should have gone to the bar. And then we should have taken it all in your field and like got it stuck. No, we should have put gloves on so we had no DNA. Why would they leave the keys in it? Why would you leave the keys in it? I think we should have done more. I wish we would have.
SPEAKER_04:I thought we would we just hopped in and drove like three blocks, four blocks, and parked it again.
SPEAKER_03:I wish it had the lights. That was another Brady night. We should have done it. You know why it didn't go worse because they didn't have the flashing lights and they have a stop sign. If we would have flashing lights, stop sign, we would have gone downtown your town and went to ding ding ding ding and said people had to stop and let like a kid crossed. That was what so this was that that was when I first built my house. That was awesome.
SPEAKER_04:And this this other house building guys, the Smit guys, the the foundation guys, they used a bus to haul other shit around.
SPEAKER_03:They parked in front of my house. So I was like, what the fuck is this thing doing in my hand? Yeah, we got we got that shit out of it. So now we hopped in it and start cruising around the neighborhood. I wish we would have done a redo because now I wish we would have gone further. We should have took it and jumped that on. Oh, it's a fun shit. We didn't, but anyways, so getting back to the story. So Eddie gets down, he gets out he gets back to us, and it's a shit show down there. Now we got like your truck.
SPEAKER_04:I hooked up my truck to your truck so that the Q's truck, and then we hooked that way you keep the back end from sliding back in.
SPEAKER_03:We had a lot of shit going on. We finally, finally got everything out, and then we're all good. And then Daryl, so we're facing still facing the wrong way. We have to turn around. So Daryl drives down. I'm watching him. I'm watching him, and he's going like one mile an hour, and he totally slides the other way. I'm like, he's gonna get stuck again. But then he got out and turned around and got up, and we got out of there. Well, that's fine over there. I walked that whole area before the turnaround back. You know, we didn't get back to after almost, I think it was 12 40.
SPEAKER_04:I I gotta be honest with you. Your your pizza's right there, D.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, it's great the first night. It's not that great. It was so good the first night. It's not that good. Second night was terrible. It's too much. It's first night was good. I think you drank it every time you every time you had that something you were eating it every day. You were you were you were like 3.0. The second night, what it did was it was like it went in my stomach and it like expanded. It did that to me the first day. It did to me. I liked it the first day. Oh goodness. I don't like it as much as I thought it was the greatest pizza ever. And now I'm starting to remember, like, oh, you're right. We were always playing two of them when we ordered it, but it is good flavor. Yeah, it's not bad, it's not bad. But you can't have it two nights in a row. No, you can have once every six months. But I could not do that somebody. End of the story is we finally got back to Airbnb at about 12 45 when we were supposed to be back. We would have been back at like 6 30. It was an extra six hours, and we missed our steak dinner.
SPEAKER_04:And we borrowed a tractor, and all the kids can we get a tow truck.
SPEAKER_03:And all the kids thought it was funny, they're all giggling and stuff. You know what? End of the day, at the end of the day, they're gonna have lifetime. You know, we went hunting, they're gonna remember that for the rest. I get.
SPEAKER_04:Guarantee that they will never forget that trip. They'll remember.
SPEAKER_03:I won't. They'll remember. It was a shit show.
SPEAKER_04:They will never forget that trip.
SPEAKER_03:It was a shit show, but it was funny as hell. And I don't even know. It wasn't funny the night up. Well, no, actually, it wasn't that bad. I actually kind of did laugh. There was times where it was funny. There was times where it was funny. And then it was times that it wasn't so funny. Because I just wanted to go have a nice. I was driving around. Oh, I don't. I love good steak. It was fun. But it's funny now.
SPEAKER_04:I want to get steak right now, though.
SPEAKER_03:We should go. Should we go steal some? From where? Freezer. I don't think I have any here. You have some? I have some pork chops, but they're frozen.
unknown:Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03:I'm not even hungry. I just went. So, anyways, that was our hunting. That was our hunting trip. It was a shit show.
SPEAKER_04:It was a shit show. It was funny. We got some birds.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. It was fun.
SPEAKER_04:You didn't even go out the last night. I went out with the kids.
SPEAKER_03:I didn't go out. Well, yeah. You got five four more, five more birds for a tour. Six hours. Yeah, but the kids had fun. No, I know that. I was I had fun too. I'm going back out there uh probably maybe next weekend. Maybe not. I don't know about that place. I don't know about that area. No, I'm gonna go to I've never I've never done good in that area yet. Can you talk to the lady that owned? You know the lady that owns a the uh uh uh uh a tow truck company? Yeah, their place is on Devil's Lake, yeah, yeah. And he called her and hinted like, hey, I said, Text her back and say, Can you stay at your place and maybe hunt there and we'll bring boats and stuff? Oh, really? He did, she's like, Oh, I'll he goes, Yeah, what do you think about that? Oh, what did he say? He goes, Hey, we're thinking about coming back out there. You got a place to stay, we'll come see her, we'll bring you some beer. Sounds good. No way, she said, sounds good, and he's like, Well, that didn't work so well. That sounds good, sounds good. What I don't know, because I said their place is right on the southeast side of Devils, closest to Michigan and uh whatever.

That's probably a good idea. And there was a semi coming. That's probably a good idea. He said there was no stop sign there. We jumped like we jumped.
SPEAKER_04:Well, at least in your truck this time, not my truck.
SPEAKER_03:Wasn't my truck. Oh, you were in his truck. It was right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was dozing off, and he goes, Shit! Oh my god! And I'm like, Did you scroll through a four-way?
