Ice Bars And Long Drives In Minnesota Winter

Drop us line at Eddyandjay@eddyandjay.com

We trade Lake of the Woods ice fishing stories that somehow include a fancy ice bar, a taser demo, and the misery of the drive home. We bounce from snow drought complaints to card night drama, Vikings quarterback anger, and a surprisingly serious idea for preventing winter pileups, before landing on the chaos and convenience of a VC box “pirate box” and Dog TV. 

• Lake of the Woods ice fishing recap, bar stops, and the long haul home 
• Day houses versus sleeper houses, limits, and chasing the night bite 
• Pull tabs, credit card roulette, music bingo, and why meat raffles win 
• Pork steak cooking ideas, crock pot versus grill, and asking for recipes 
• Knife sharpening problems, honing, and why every kitchen blade goes dull 
• Buzzsprout shout-out and why podcast stats are addictive 
• Listener critique about giving more context in stories 
• Minnesota lack of snow, snowmobiling frustration, and wind chill formula changes 
• Euchre tournament rules, time limits, and the asterisk argument 
• Squatch hockey night, chucker puck strategy, and the late night Depot stop 
• The “matching appliances” complaint and why it makes no sense 
• Raffle blanket obsession and favorite comfort items 
• Vikings front office firings, quarterback debate, and syncing radio with TV 
• Small town bar culture and how locals size you up fast 
• Winter pileup warning invention idea for cars and semis 
• VC box and pirate box streaming, guides, Canada channels, and Dog TV

Welcome And Ice Fishing Debrief

SPEAKER_01 0:17

All right, man. Hey, welcome back. We're doing another episode of Brady's and BS. Oh, that's such a great song.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

It is a good song.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

Hey, this is actually technically gonna be the first episode of the year because our first episode of the year was on New Year's Eve. No. No. Oh, wait. Okay, so this is our second episode of the year.

SPEAKER_00 0:35

Damn it. I forgot about New Year's Eve. We did get that one online. I was thinking of the last one we did Ice Fishing. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 0:40

I was thinking of the one we had ice fishing. Oh no, wait, this is a third one. No, we didn't put the ice fishing one on. Oh, it's not on the line? No. That was a shit show. Like what happened? It was just I thought it started slow, but then I thought it ramped up good at the end. I don't think it ramped up good at all. Did you listen to it? Uh I did listen for more. I know I didn't finish it. I didn't finish it. It was a little slow starting, but I didn't, I didn't, I didn't finish it. So that way. It was slow starting, but it got good at the end.

SPEAKER_00 1:06

Huh?

SPEAKER_01 1:07

I thought it did.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

I'll send it to you. You could listen to it.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

I thought it was like a little slow because it would I would have to cut out in probably like 20 minutes. It got good at the end. More than that. It started getting good at the end. It could be like a short episode. I don't even remember what the hell we were talking about to be honest. Because we were we had a few cocktails. Oh, was that when I got tased? What? I got tased by that lady before that. She asked me if I wanted to. Wait, what? You didn't weren't there? Was that before I got there? No on that bar on the lake. You know they had that bar on the lake, that nice fancy bar that was on the ice. Oh, I didn't go there with you. You guys didn't. We stopped there on the way out, and you guys stopped on the way back. Oh, I thought we told you. I thought you said that you he told you guys. No, because you did come in there.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:54

I think you did. Not the one on the lake. Yeah, the fancy one. Not the igloo, but the other one. The nice one with the roof. They had like shingles. It was a like a house up there. Small. We didn't even go to the Eaglewood. No, we would. Yeah, that's the same thing. No, so we went in there. You didn't meet that Indian guy from uh Iowa, Des Moines? No, no, I did not. Oh, that was awesome. I did not. The guy's from India, but he's from Des Moines. Oh no, I met him at the bar for uh Oh yeah, he met him later again. Yeah, we ran later, but we met him on there the first time. Okay. And so they draw, they drive up. It reminded me like watching Fargo. And I was watching that one that that Asian guy, the Fargo with that Norwegian accent. He goes, he goes, What? You never see a guy from India ice fishing? I go, no, no, no, I actually haven't. He goes, Well, guess what? I'm from Des Moines. And I go, that's even funnier. So you're an Indian and in from India that lives in Des Moines. And if you didn't, if you'd like to close your eyes, you'd think you're talking guy from Des Moines. I mean, he had like zero Indian accent. It was like the movie Fargo. Yeah. And he goes, Yeah, we come up here every year. We can't super nice guy, though. Yeah, I've got to direct him for a while. He's a nice guy. We go up, we stop in St. Cloud on Wednesday, and we rip it up in St. Cloud, and we stay in a hotel there to break up the drive, and then we drive the rest of the way. And then he's saying in the summertime they drive 24 hours to go summer fishing in Canada from Iowa. I was like, you guys are nuts. Why? Where do they go? I think they go up by Sioux Lookout or wherever. Let's just do a fly-in. That's what I said. Did they? I go, do they have an airport in Des Moines? And he goes, No. Yeah, yeah. No. But anyways, so probably not a flight. You wouldn't take a flow plane from Des Moines there because you'd have to. I would just take an airplane and fly up to Winnipeg.

SPEAKER_00 3:38

No, they have like International Falls, they've got a bunch of flow planes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:41

Well, they can fly to wherever. That's hard to drive.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

No, but you can fly International Falls. They have a they have a big airport and they have a decent sized airport. And they have a lot of uh small planes that go out of there.

SPEAKER_01 3:53

It was funny though, but he so we were talking to the bartender lady. I think Buddh also has air. And she goes, It's like we knew her. So we get in there. I don't know if it was the we had her at a different bar as a because I walk in and they already pouring her E and J Coke. At the bar on the lake? Yes. They had to be Q. And Q Pri walked in before you. Maybe. I don't know, because he was talking to the Indian dude and that crew. They're super nice guys. And so we get there, and um, she goes, Hey, you want to see my uh taser?

SPEAKER_00 4:31

No, she didn't.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

I go, she didn't ask me to talk about I talked to her. She goes, Yeah. She was she was she was knitting. She goes, I just maybe baby gifts. She goes, I just got it like yesterday. I'm like, let me see it. And it was the one where it goes, you know, it it arcs when he hit the button, it arcs, like the ones you see on TV. And so I'm like, I go, she goes, it doesn't it hurts. I go, I go, I'll do it on my shoulder because I had all that winter gear on, right? But I could feel it. But she said, They're trained to put it on someone's neck. He said, That would does that knock you out. She said it'll put you down. You'll be down. I said, Well, don't do that. And then she kind of joked, like she was gonna hit my shoulder and like she was gonna go up. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that ain't funny. Because I don't like that, anyways. I don't like this, I don't even like the dog collar. Well, no, you know, nobody likes the dog collar. But so she put it on my shoulder and I said, just do it. My dog, I my dog likes she likes his dog collar. Well, mine do too. They think they're going out, they're going out for somewhere. Yeah, they don't like shocked, but they like they like putting it on because even Nordie does, he likes it too. He gets all excited. Yeah, yeah. They it's like he pull the collar out, they just start going crazy. What are you doing, buddy? Drinking water out of the toilet, anyways. So, yeah, we were up there at the leg of the woods. It was fun, it was a good time. I just I cannot get over the drive, it just drives me nuts. The drive up is fine, tolerable. The drive home was terrible. It's terrible, it's too far. You didn't drive home though, did you? Yeah, I drove the whole way. Q slept from I don't know, he slept from north. I I dozed off on he was like south of Red Lake. He says, No, I was just on the north side of the Grand Rapids. And he woke up on the other side of Grand Rapids, and I'm like that's a good hour. I said a little over half. I was I felt fine. I was just like, I said, Oh, do you have a nice nap? He goes, Oh, I just shut my eyes for a couple minutes.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

I go, I would have been sleeping the whole time if I was sitting over there, but I don't I I snuck a fuse in on sweet tea. It was a it was a long drive.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

I don't like I think those guys are smart when they broke it up. We should have stuck. I said, next year, I said maybe we should just spend an extra day or two and then spend one day at your cabin and then one day on the way back at your cabin, and that way it's not such a bad drive. That's still a long drive. Well, his cabin's only like two hours from here. A little bit more, but about two hours. That's uh it's probably it's probably a little bit under half. Or he goes, or we could just go fish on uh malax. I I heard they raised the limits on Malax.

SPEAKER_00 7:03

I don't know for people that don't know even Minnesota Malax is usually closed almost basically. You can take like one fish sometimes, or it's closed for like walleyes. So for this year, you can take like three fish.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

Well, I just talked to Vera Cross. And they hammered the walleyes. It just depends where you're at. He said we killed, but he paid a lot more. They were in sleeper ones, the big sleeper fancy ones. You well, you have a night bite there too. I said I like doing the hush fishing during the day and then going back out. That was fun. I had a good time. I don't mind sleeper houses, but you still gotta go to the bar. That was good. I thought that was a perfect amount because I I can only fish for so long in those things. I get clusters are full like that. Well, see, that's the thing, those day houses, they're uncomfortable. They're not fine for them all the time. No, but then we could run into town or whatever. But the sleeper houses, like the nice ones, you get like you can like rent like rent ice castles. Right. And you can get like recliners, yeah. You know, and TVs. Yeah. The day houses are just junk. Right. We cut fish, it was fun. Yeah, we cut, yeah. We cut we didn't catch a lot. Friday we did better than Saturday. We didn't have, I mean Friday we were catching pretty good. And then um your son got, I think, the biggest one. He got the yeah, but it was on Q's Q's frog. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

Q Q let him get it on his fishing bowl. I like it. He reeled up the biggest.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

I like the guy that the owner of the resort, though. He was he thinks it did give us crap. He's like, Oh, see, you guys have been taking a nap. Yeah. He was funny. And then that one day I after lunch, I said, I have to close my eyes for like 10 minutes. And then he commented, I thought I was gonna get in trouble, so I jumped out of the car. He goes, Oh, I already you already busted. I saw your eyes were shut. I go, No, I was on a phone call for work. He goes, With your eyes shut? I go, Well, the sun was in my eyes. He goes, Yeah, right. You guys go out one night, can't I go? Yeah, we can handle it. I said, I I can't. I was just tired. I can't handle it more than one night. I was tired. I did every night then that trip.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

I was hurt. That's too much for me.

SPEAKER_01 9:02

Oh, I wasn't hurting Sunday. Sunday I felt Saturday I was a little rough.

SPEAKER_00 9:05

The drive home, I was I was tired. I can't do those three nights in a row. I don't, I just can't do it. One night.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

Well, we don't have to go out so late. The first night was what kills you when he's well old man that wanted to fight everybody.

SPEAKER_00 9:20

Oh, that was stupid. Yeah. And then you try to get him going. Huh? You you actually instigated it more.

SPEAKER_01 9:26

He was an idiot, but I did not. I was back. I said for 20 minutes, I said, and we're here to have fun, to fish, and not have any problems. And he kept going. You're gonna get your ass kicked today. And I'm like, why? He backed down. I said, I don't want to do anything with you. Why do you keep doing it? He was he was an old guy. I don't know. Well, then I said, fine, let's go sign in and he ran away. And I'm like, then I felt guilty. I'm like, why would I do that? I got lost my temper for a minute.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

No, he was he was an India.

SPEAKER_01 9:53

Anyways, nothing happened, so I was good. But, anyways, so we didn't do a podcast.

SPEAKER_00 9:57

Oh, shout out to um um our waitress. Oh, yeah, she was gonna listen. She was gonna listen. We were gonna go back and do a podcast at night, which we did. It just didn't turn out very well.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

What was her name? She wasn't there the second night. What do you mean she wasn't there the second night? She was there when we last night. She was there the second night, but she wasn't there the first night. It was a different bartender. No, she was there when we did the, she was our waitress when we had her uh prime rib.

Because the next day they put a new box. Yeah, I call BS. We should have had at least one playback. We spent a lot of money on that thing. That's BS. We spent more money than there was in the box, I think, at that point. Oh well, I didn't know what that noise was. Oh, the guy had to chew it on the phone. Okay. I think we spent more money than there was actually a bail. And then we did that, we did the credit card roulette, and I finally, my six and oh run came to an end. I know. That was the primary night. I was like, guy, I knew I was due. I don't know how we did that. Well, we did it the night before. Yeah. And uh sweet tea lost that one. I was due. I I knew I was due because I'm like six and oh on that thing or seven and oh. I've never done that. I've only done it probably four times.

Like what you said, his his thing was you don't go you don't go to the strip club and then you see a naked person and go, oh my god, this is like a strip club for your ears, lady. Because he he says things that are can be controversial. But that's what comics used to do. Supposed to be controversial, right? Right. Right. That's where you go to listen to stuff is it's comedy. You don't take it too seriously, but you can't take it seriously. Sorry. Um oh, well, that or that. I want to I want to talk about snow. Oh, that was the thing before we talk about snow. Yeah, we had an avid listener say that sometimes we just talk about things on our show, and they have no point of reference what we're even talking about because we assume that everybody knows what we're talking about. And so I don't know if I don't know what I don't know what this person is talking about, but sometimes they they they say that it sounds like you think that everybody is with you when you're telling a story that you may have to do some more context to the story.

SPEAKER_00 20:34

I've heard that before, also. Yeah, you have? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

Some of our stuff is because we just a lot of our stories involve us. Yeah, and they don't know what they want to think about. Right, right. And I get that. So we'll try to do a better job. I have no problem. I like a little little critique here and there.

SPEAKER_00 20:53

Well, we had like a couple days of cool weather.

SPEAKER_01 21:51

No, we've been out two weeks, my didn't get up above minus. The the year my son was born, my oldest, that year. It was minus 30. In the cities. It was minus when I left his city. I left the hospital last Friday here. No, that's Wind Jill. It was minus three when they closed the school, it was minus three. Up in Grand Forks. No, it was minus three. Because I gotta went, I gotta went to work. It was minus 20. It was like minus 22. No, it was minus 28 here on Friday morning. Well, my car is in minus 22. Well, your car is lying to you. Maybe. And up in Grand Forks, it was uh minus 60 wind chill. That's wind chill. But it was like minus 60. They church that up now. No, they made it less. Back in the day, it would have been minus 100. It used to be worse. No, other way around. No, they did not. I will sidebat you. I know because I remember Paul Douglas is the one that came up with it. I think he's the one that came up with changing it. I don't know why he changed it. I think they were the other way. No, it's it's not as bad. Because it'd be like I'm pretty sure it'd be minus 50. No, I'm pretty sure minus 30 would be like minus 20 back in the day. No, it's the other way. I'm almost positive. It used to be. We'll Google it. I hop it. And by the way, there's a new bing. You see that commercial? Uh-huh. It's a bing that doesn't have memory. It doesn't know what you're looking at, doesn't track what you're doing. It's a new one. It's on I saw it on the TVs. What are you talking about? Another search engine. Which you like? Your Bing, which I hate. It's like a Lugo, but it's not Lugo or Bing. It's another one. It's like frog or something. Have you seen that one toll or frog? And it's the advertising is like it doesn't track what you're so doesn't memorize anything. I don't think I remember I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, we'll have to look that off there. They did. It was probably like 25 years ago, I'm guessing. Roughly 25. Maybe 30 years ago. I think I was in high school when they did it. So it was probably like five years ago. What? What? Five years ago when I was in high school. I think it was like in the 90s. Early 90s.

SPEAKER_02 24:12

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

Slide back. It was in the early 90s. I know that it was in the early 90s. It might have been late 80s. It was either early 90s or late 80s. That's when they switched it. And I think the meet the local meteorologist had something to do with it. I'm trying to think how a word is right. When did they change it? And are you are your hands on the home row? Did I met a guy the other day? Yeah. While you're doing this.

SPEAKER_02 24:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

He was a court reporter. He's retired now. And I asked him how many words a minute. Um he he did. And you know what he said? He goes, I was really fast. But as we get older, I can't understand what the people are saying. They don't speak good English, so I can't understand what so I had a hard time typing. He goes, the criminals didn't speak good English. How would you do it? I mean, if you're a court reporter, you have to try and figure this out. Well, they had that is that stenographer. Is that what you call it? A stenographer? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I think so. I think that he had his own like little machine. But they they have like a they have like a there's like a whole language there, right? So like one, they have like their keyboard. Have you ever seen the keyboards? Mm-hmm. I've seen it. Like so they don't have to spell the. Yeah, right. It's like a button. Yeah. And I'm not sure how they do it. Yeah, it was it was interesting. Did you figure it out, windshield boy? Okay, it looks like they changed it. I bet you in the 90s. In 2001 to 2002. The windshield formula was officially implemented in November of 2001. It replaced the Oh, okay. The other one was used since 1945. Yeah, yeah. Um, so any windshield number before 2001 is not directly compared to the comparable to today's, unless they use it.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

So when they change it. So it was um how fast water froze in Antarctica in the 40s. The wind didn't measure.

SPEAKER_01 26:14

I knew it had some above how far above the ground. It's actually colder now than so. You are right. It's actually colder now than it used to be. I'm wrong on that one.

SPEAKER_00 26:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:26

Short answer is no. I thought it was worse. No, they made it they wouldn't. A windshield reported in as minus 16 in the 1990s, might report today as minus 35. That's what I was trying to say. So it is warmer. That's I was right. So you no, no, no, no, you're saying it was colder now. No, no, no, no. I'm saying it's less, it's so minus six. I'm saying exactly what that sentence says. A windshield is colder now. No, it was not. I was saying it was like rewind the tape. I I will rewind it. I did not. I said it's colder than now. They they make it I you would think because uh people are now is like nothing. It's like that's like that's like minus 60 then. Yes, well, wait, yeah, you're right. You're in backwards on that. So that's what I'm saying. I'm like, it doesn't make sense because how everybody is so wimpy now. You'd think it'd be the other way. Common sense is say, oh, let's get it colder so we can have more time off, right? But when the other we submitted, we didn't see who had it was 50 below, it was actually only gonna be what 30, 30, but here 60 below in the 90s would have been 35 below now. That's what I'm saying. Oh, so it's better. So when it's minus 60 up in ground, it would have been minus 90 or 80. Right. That's what I was trying to say. So can you say who? I know this is a great topic because I'm just curious if it if if I'm right about that meteorologist has something to do with this, because I think he did. Okay, I think he did. Who? Paul Douglas. I think he did. I could be wrong, I could be wrong, but I think he had something. He's either this or he had something to do with um what was the other thing that the other weather thing? It might have been the tornado rating readings. The F5, F1, F2, F5s. I think I think he had something to do with he had something to do with something, or maybe it's a Doppler radar. Was it the Doppler? No, he had nothing he had nothing to do with the windshield factors. Not already, knock it off. Okay, well, he had something to do with something. That's that's besides the point. Anyways, what about the snow? What about the snow? I was I was just trying to say that we don't have any snow, and I blamed you for it. Because you got your snowmobile and then we got no snow anymore. I talked to a guy yesterday at the uh squash game, and he was up at uh um he was up in um UP, Michigan. Yeah, he said they had all kinds of snow up there. Well, think of the lake of lake effect snow. So he was drunk, he was drunk last night and um he got drunk and he broke his ribs. He wiped out last weekend. He left a snowmobile up there. He's gotta go back up there tomorrow and go get it. In the UP? Yeah. So he went to the UP's, got drunk, got drunk on a snowmill, crashed the snowmill. Crashed the snowmill, broke his ribs, left a snowmobile up there, and he went home. Because he didn't want to get a DW, I think. And so he left it. And so then he's gotta go back up and get it. No, he's sober. Well, why would he why would you just go to the hotel and sober up? I don't know. This guy's weird. Why would you go all the way back to the cities? But that's what happened. That's a that's a lot of but you know, there's a lot of monkeying around. I mean, it's probably still cheaper than a DBY. He said there's a lot, yeah. It's probably cheaper than DWI, though. Yeah, and he said there's a lot, and he even said, like, I was talking to J Lo, and we were talking about we could go up to the North Shore and there's all kinds of snow. Not we don't have nothing. We used to have snow out here. We did, but never really here. Here, yeah, growing up we did. But it's it's cycles, it's been a long cycle. You're a cycle, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:02

It's been in it's been a long cycle.

SPEAKER_01 30:05

I'm getting two new ones once the snow comes down. Well, I think you might as well just hold off. I've been holding off. I was gonna go last yeah, there's nothing there. Well, what are you supposed to do? One of these years we're gonna get some snow. You'd think. I don't know. Oh, you climbed.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

I've only had mine on one. No, I'm not climate change. I'm just telling you, well, maybe I don't know. There's just going on.

SPEAKER_01 30:27

We get we got snow, maybe it's not necessarily because of man-made stuff all out necessarily, it could be from solar flares, it could be the the sun's getting hotter. Oh, is that right, Paul Douglas? I'm not Paul Douglas. Anyway, must have said that. Speaking of snow, the snowmobile. I said, Well, that's what I said. So the snowmobile, I talked to a guy, he put on like over 500 miles over by I think Q's got more snow on where they're at. But they're like these yeah, I don't know if he's a lot more snow. There was more up there, they got a little pocket right by his eye. I mean, you can you could go snowmobile bike at our place by that by our cabinet. You can, but it's not, it's like they're groomed, but it's like terrible. I mean, it's just groomed. Well, that's what you're gonna get up. No, there wasn't all dirt last. I was up there last weekend. Well, were you? Yeah, they were that bad. That's right. And they were groomed up pretty much on the ditches. I had stuff to do. I had to get some stuff done. I wasn't I was never invited to the card show. You were too? No, my wife didn't even tell me about it. She assumed that you didn't want to go, she assumed they didn't want to go and invited somebody else to go and play with her, which is probably an assumption, probably correctly. Wasn't terrible, yeah. Wasn't a terrible idea. I don't know. The hosts were really asking them, they really wanted to see you, and you could have been part referee. Well, I didn't know about that.

unknown 31:42

Yeah.

Snow Drought And Wind Chill Math

SPEAKER_01 31:42

I want to blanket. But I had stuff to do. He didn't know that. And I and I heard and I heard your controversy was a bunch of bullshit shit. What controversy is that? Well, I asked you, and you said asterisk. Oh, when I lost? Yeah. Because you said you won 40. All right, so last weekend, there was there was a there was a card game that see, that's good. Yeah, you're right. So last weekend there was a card game that uh a bunch of people were invited to. Apparently I was invited, but my wife, fun police just like assumed I wasn't gonna go.

SPEAKER_00 32:18

Actually, but it worked out good because I had some things I had to do. So she invited the uh uh uh Sweetie's wife.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

Um, what's her name again? Mrs. Sweetie. No, it's not Mrs. Sweetie's, yeah, it is. Is it yeah? No. Invited her instead, so they went and did it. But uh uh Jay over here is like I texted him and asked him how it went, how they do, and he he's like, they won they won the first four and lost the last three, and he said asterisks. Well, because the first two on our table, the first two people get to move on. And we had the most you win, you move on. We had the most wins, number one, on our group. We had four wins, nobody else had four wins. So then it goes how many points you had when you lost. But I heard you lost to fun phase. Okay, no, we beat them too. No, she said you she said she beat you. One on one because they ran out of time. No, one on one. Oh, yeah, they ran out of time. That was right. You ran out of time, yeah. They ran out of time, and we played it. That was BS. Yeah because every other game, he's because so they put a time limit on these on these roughs. But we weren't nobody else was following that. They just kept fit. We kept finishing in the game before we f finished. We were supposed to be done, but we finished because the other team wanted to finish, and we came back and won. And so then they're like, Oh, we should have quit. Well, then fun police, they're like, Nope, game's over. We won. And I was like, We weren't doing that. This whole group, we were playing after, anyways. Fine, whatever. So, is that your asterisk? Is that one? No, no, actually, we don't have any asterisk.

SPEAKER_00 33:52

It was on that time, it was Euchre.

Card Night Dispute And Hockey Talk

SPEAKER_01 33:54

Negzilla, she made a mistake that cost us a game. And but you lost three games. Well, the one that we should have won. Um, shouldn't you have won all three games? Well, I'm just saying, if we would have if she would not have played that, we would have been on the second round. Because she played, I had the trump, I had or I had it without a trump. Yeah, I and everyone else had played, I had it, and she used the trump, a big trump. And you had to use it. And you had to follow yours with, and yeah, so she waves at her big trump, and then that cost us the game. I was so mad. Because normally she doesn't make those mistakes, she's pretty serious, but she it was a long, it was a lot of playing, so you get kind of distracted after a while. But seven games is too much. It was fun. I had a good time. I won't play that one game we moved around on like New Year's Eve. That was great. That was that's what I was gonna tell you about last night. Wait, wait, you played last night? No, no, no. So last night we went to the squatch game. Everyone remembers the squatch is a local hockey team. They end up losing. They all shot the team again. It was BS. So they all shot them and they lost like a lot or like a couple? It was a lot. Oh that's that's not good. The goalie suck. I used to have a good goalie. The other goalie on the other team was doing really good. And there was no fights last night either. So I didn't miss anything. No. Did you do the chucker buck? I did. I went to the other side. Yeah, you told me that before. I went to the new strategy. No, I did it after you told me to. Yeah. I went there last night, and I that was the first time I did from that side. I think you did it last time. No, no, I didn't. I did, and so what happened was I should have had two more pucks. Because the first one I was way off. Second one I came in good. Yeah. The next one was coming in and it was going for it, but I was going a little too hot. It went right by, and then somebody hit it in the further. But there's a lot less interference going from that. Everybody's everybody's on the squash. I'm gonna win that one time. And then uh Arod's girlfriend won the um last game. They were there. Not was she there? Yeah. There's a bus here. I got a pick, I got a bone pick with you. But he she won uh uh uh recliner. No, she got called all day and shot the puck and made the uh net and scored, and she won the recliner. Do you get a pig where recliner you get, or you just take the one that the band they had? Actually, the guy that owns the place was talking to Nagzilla last night. Yeah. Because we know kind of there, yeah. She went to squat, yeah. Oh wow, okay. That's what I was gonna tell you about the whole funny. It was a funny story because you were talking about how we played that awesome game. Was it Bunko? I don't know what it's called. We played Bunko. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. Well, we went to so Nags and I we met um Daryl. It's a fun game. I don't remember. We were at the squash with A-Rod and Darrow and their friends, but they were kind of doing their own thing. So we left, we were starving, so we're like, we're gonna stop at the local bar on the way home and get a pizza and bring it home. Just Nags and me. With the Sammy's? No, we were at the Deeps Depot. Oh, the depot. So we walk in, and sure enough, who's sitting at the table is the girls that came up on New Year's Eve. Yeah. Their parents were all there. And so we sat there with them. So you're oh, they're good people. So your daughter's friends' parents were there. We're at the depot. Oh, they're so fun. So then you had to hang out. So you'd have to hang out at the depot for a little bit, right? Yeah. Oh, you'd like these guys. But you must have done more than that because I saw you this morning and you're looked a little rough. Oh, yeah. So that was that. Yeah. So then we went home. We stayed till like by this morning, I mean like 10:30 in the morning.

SPEAKER_00 37:30

11 o'clock.

SPEAKER_01 37:31

Like, this is like, so we left at pro so the squash got over at let's say nine o'clock. We went there probably till we talked them into having a couple more. They wanted they were getting ready to leave and they stayed for like another two hours. Jesus. So we left at like, let's say it's 11. Right. So I'm like, I'm starving. We gotta go. So we me and Nags came home and uh we chowed on the pizza.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:51

Well then Daryl texted Nags and said, Can you come pick me up out in at a friend's house? Why did you stay there? He was at his at uh Arod's girlfriend's parents' house. It was just up the road. Well, it wasn't counter road, it was a little ways. And uh was it in Andover? God, I don't remember where it was at. I think it was I think you said Andover last night. I think it was Andover. It wasn't that far, it was like 20 minutes. Andover's more than 20 minutes away. Nah, this place was like 20 minutes, it was back roads. Anyways, so we get so I made a I asked Neggs, I go, Can I make a roadie? She's yeah. So I made a roadie and I said, I'll take care of all the music.

SPEAKER_00 38:29

I'll take care of the music while you're driving it. Yeah, so I made a don't worry, baby. I had a mason jar. Don't worry, baby. I got the music.

SPEAKER_01 38:35

I made a I had a mason jar with a handle on it, and I made a you went Q on it. Yeah, yeah, it was great. So we're in there and we're sitting in a driveway with a text and Daryl, like, dude, we're here. Let's go. We want to get going. And he's like, Can you guys come in? Shut the car and come in. The parents want to meet you, they're up. I'm like, all right. So we went inside. What are you gonna do? Yeah, we went inside. They were so fun. We go in. I had to make some shirt. They're like, Oh, you made a roadie. I'm like, well, yeah, I duh. And then so he made us like these different shots and drinks, and he made me an E and J seven. Did he have E and J? Yeah, at a boy. Oh, he was good, they were good people, they were good people. But yeah, he did seven. He did it Coke. I did a seven. I wasn't gonna complain. I was at his house. Yeah, it was fun. No, I know, but so that so what you were as your listeners do, you brought up something where you were not happy with A-rod. I was told that same story this morning. I was told that probably like a couple months ago. Oh, I was told this morning. So you can share with our listeners a story about our Q's son who Q's son' won't bring his his new lady friend. It's pretty serious. They've been dating for a while. Yeah, she seems really nice. Yeah, yeah. But he doesn't want to bring her over to uh her parents are nice because Arod complains that Q's all not all Q's appliances match, apparently.

SPEAKER_00 39:58

He must have like a black microwave or something. Or uh or a white fridge that never tells something different.

SPEAKER_01 40:05

I don't know. I don't I I've been to Q's, I haven't been in Q's kitchen for a while. I haven't either. It's been a while since I've been over Q. We need to come over to your house again. I know you're listening to it. He never invites us over. Yeah, I need to go over to Q's house. I haven't been over there for a while. I mentioned when I was there last time. I don't think I was in there. I don't think I went inside. I know I borrowed I borrowed. Well, you don't want to go inside because he didn't have matching appliances. I think the last one was there.

SPEAKER_00 40:30

I don't think I went inside because I think well you don't think he was home. I think I borrowed his trailer. I don't think he was home.

SPEAKER_01 40:36

Yeah, you didn't want to see his unmatching appliances.

SPEAKER_00 40:38

I didn't want to see unmatched appliances because that would just throw me into a floor.

SPEAKER_01 40:41

What is the hell wrong with somebody that says that? Who gives a shit? Apparently, I didn't know that everything. I didn't know that was a thing. I didn't either. I thought I was, I was like, that's terrible. I'm gonna get I'm I'm gonna well I tell Daryl, I'm like, anybody said don't bring Arod over here. Why? Because we don't have matching appliances and and then um Daryl's like, well, we do. I'm like, well I'm gonna put paper over or something. Or paint it.

SPEAKER_00 41:07

You just go she gets to like film and put it over it.

SPEAKER_01 41:12

Just so just when he comes. You can just like cut it, put film on it, or like they like that car stuff you people will get.

SPEAKER_02 41:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:17

Just put like a white, like the like uh uh not white, but do the the off-white, like uh right tail is it beige beige, like the old 80s beige, yeah. Oh, side note, all right. Off of that. Air on, I'm disappointed. That doesn't make any goddamn sense. We're not mad we're disappointed. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Another thing I want to talk about real quick.

Roadies Late Nights And Appliance Drama

SPEAKER_00 41:41

All right, we are we done with this? I don't care. So snow snow sucks in Minnesota. We gotta go up to the North Shore. We're gonna plan a trip. We'll get into that later. Um I blame you because you got a snowmobile, a new one, and that we haven't got any snow since then.

SPEAKER_01 41:54

And then we went on to Arod. Or then we went on to your party night with uh cards? With well, we did card card night. I did win a blanket though, by the way. You bought a blanket. Well, I bought it, but I won it in the raffle. I heard it's a hard to get thing. It is. I heard it's like a thing. I got three of them then. So you spent a lot of money on it. I think um I think Neg's well, she's a little bit more than a lot of things. So this is the card with backstory, yeah. She listens to the backstory thing. So the card thing, there's a the uh auction, like a silent auction. Not a silent is a silent auction? No, it wasn't. Well, what's what's a silent auction? Well, you write down your numbers on a sheet? Um, no, you just take your tickets, you put keep one, he put one in the basket, and then they call the number. Oh, okay. It's a raffle. Yeah, raffle. So raffle, but there's uh uh the the host. Yeah, she always always makes a blanket. She says, by the way, the host says, she goes, it's so funny because I listen to podcasts and it somehow it always clicks the brandies and BS, and then I wake up in the middle, and I think you're in my room. I go, Well, I'm not. She goes, I know, but it always clicks over to your podcast. And I'm like, And when she's done, like I'm like, is is he in it? Is he in our bedroom? I'm glad you listened it. Right. That's awesome. Yeah, but but so she's got this, like the the everybody wants to get this blanket that she makes. She makes one every year for this this tournament. I've heard about it. It's great. So you guys actually won it. Yeah, so it and and Neg's always like I she never said it, but I she's made me one, and she's made both our kids one, and Neg's never got one, you know.

No, remember you were summarizing everything. I did summarize everything because I was gonna go into a new topic. Not snowing. No, we already went through that. We went through the snow and the snowbill. We did went through the cards. We went through. I was gonna bring up a new topic. Oh, it wasn't the twins, Vikings, or Wild War, was it?

I should wild. No, no, no. We're losing right now. You see they fired Koichi, Densa, Menfu, Mensa? No, I did not. They fired him yesterday. I didn't see that. Yeah, he fired yesterday. Well, he wasn't doing it. I mean, our quarterback. I did not see that. No. Yeah, he got fired. And so did the twins. The twins got rid of Faldi. I don't care. I don't care what twins are. Well, I don't care about twins either. I won't even spend a dollar on them. Nope. They won't spend a dollar on the ones. Oh, I forgot. I don't know how to say it. Quasi. They fired him. And I'm like, I said somebody's got to be held accountable because the quarterback is in the Super Bowl that we had last year that won 14 games. And he won 14 games this year. And he's going to the goddamn Super Bowl. Yeah. Well, there's no yeah, but. We probably could have we probably would have had a chance of going to Super Bowl because our defense has been so good. I'm just saying that there's a isn't there the rumors going around now that Burroughs is looking. Oh, I heard that earlier in the year. I don't know about now. I heard now. Oh, is he? He wants to get out of Cincinnati comes a Viking.

SPEAKER_00 46:51

That would be that would be that would be killer.

SPEAKER_01 46:53

Because he's proven he's a good quarterback. He is a good quarterback. He could do some stuff. And wasn't he with with R with R. Wasn't he with Jefferson? Yes. At LSU? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Yes. So they heard about that. They have a history. I I'm sorry. I just I mean, here's my take. So, like, the quarterback of New England is going to Super Bowl. Last year, he only, I think, won three games. So he was struggling his first year. Well, he was a rookie. Yeah, he's young. And now, but he played. And now he's going to super. He's a good quarterback. But the problem, like, and I'll give Neg Zilla credit where credit is due. Why? And we were talking because we were talking about that. She goes, the problem, she goes, isn't it the problem? Not so much his ability, but he can't stay on the field. That is a perfect example. He gets hurt. I said that from the beginning. I said, get rid of him. I said that right away. Someone told me that he was he was always injured, right? I don't know. And I brought that up. Somebody else is like, no, no, no. He's he's was Maddie I saying that? Because he was Michigan. Christmas? Christmas science still? Yeah. What? Merry Christmas. I just missed that. Somebody was telling me about that. I wouldn't know that that's a reindeer. Well, it might not be. That's what anyway. That's where you put cards in. We didn't do any cards this year. What kind of cards? Like Christmas cards. You put your Christmas cards in there? I don't know, do you? I think so. I think that's what the bucket is. Anyways. But I yeah, I I don't know. I mean, I I heard someone, someone told me that he's he's he's very fragile. Before we, you know, after we after we drafted him. Someone told me that. And I was like, so I I I kept going with that with everybody. It was like, nope, nope, everybody's good. It was like, nope, he's good. He's good. He's good. No, he's been fragile.

SPEAKER_00 48:42

He he's he he's he can't do it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 48:45

Well, the thing is that what I don't understand is what I didn't like about him is when he he walked in that we're out of we didn't make the playoffs. He goes and runs that uh the coach specifically told him, do not show about when you're going in if you get a running touch. And what did he do? He did like the gritty on the way into the end zone. Like he was something special. Like, we're not in the playoffs. It was it's a meaningless win. In fact, we probably should have just tanked all the games we get a higher draft pick. And it's because of you is the reason why we're not going in the they would have beat that game of Chicago, you know, where we were up. He did a great job. He did a great job, came back, and we did the last, and then they kick it off and then they let him run it all the way back, and then they win. If we would have won that game, we would have been in the playoffs.

unknown 49:31

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 49:32

Would we have? Yep, we would have been in the playoffs. We would have been a wild card team if everything else would have played out after that. Everything else played out right. I don't think we would that would not have put us in the playoffs. People would have had to lose. No, if we would have done exactly the same record but won that game, we would have been in the playoffs against Chicago. Yeah, we would have. And it's and I'm like, why would you run in the end zone and show about it when you cost us the season? They're terrible. Why do we even waste? I don't even know what they're gonna do. They're they spent all that money on that line. And what are we gonna do with quarterback?

SPEAKER_00 50:04

They're talking about getting a different announcer too for the Vikings on the radio.

SPEAKER_01 50:08

No, I think that's BS. That better be because that's he didn't see anything. I I gotta be honest with you, I love listening to him on the radio. Oh, I know. I like muting the TV and putting him on. That whole thing is BS. Because if you if you stream him and you stream your TV, I pause because you can pause your TV. I can't give him a link up, right? Oh, I get a link up perfectly. I lost interest. I want to do it. I wish I could. I do it perfect. It's great, it's so much better. Because if they're both streaming, this perfect. No, I know you can. I know you do you do cable though. You have cable, I have streaming series. I have streaming. I think you get a cable cable. No, that's you can't pause that. Yeah, I can pause. Now we can't. It just started like that. That's why you can't. Because I couldn't pause it. That's why unless I recorded it. So what I had to do before is I would have to record it, then start it, and then but you can't pause the radio. You can't pause it.

SPEAKER_00 50:57

No, but the radio is always behind the TV.

SPEAKER_01 50:59

No, it's always ahead.

SPEAKER_00 51:00

No, if you're streaming it.

SPEAKER_01 51:02

On iHeart? Yeah. I don't know. I can pause, I can pause the TV now. That's the problem. If you stream it on iHeart, and then you're streaming it on the TV. But you can't pause streaming on iHeart. No, but it's always behind. So you can pause. See, I couldn't pause. You can pause the TV. I can't pause it before. No, you can. You pause the TV because it's always like it's always like 30 minutes. I think I can. I think I can now. It just takes a little bit of work.

SPEAKER_00 51:25

But uh, it's it's the only way to do it. Yeah, it's the only way to do it.

SPEAKER_01 51:28

Yeah, well, especially when I sit in the garage. I think he's gonna be fine.

SPEAKER_00 51:30

Bluetooth, uh hopefully.

Vikings Frustrations And Radio Syncing

SPEAKER_01 51:31

He's gonna be fine. It's it's just silliness. It's just it's just absolute a few people reckon for everyone. It's just silliness. Whatever. So anyways, I had another topic. What was the topic you're gonna talk about? I don't remember now. Well, we should probably get a week one and then we'll I hit it out. I had two. Yeah, it's all I don't remember what it was, but yeah, we'll figure it out. What the fuck? What is that? Sorry. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 51:55

All right, see you in a second. Go ahead. Okay, so we had like the probably like the long, like the shortest like interruption, inter in inter whatever intermittent brandy break. Yeah. And then now we just had like a long one, and I'm already out again. I gotta go take a I gotta go make a brandy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 52:25

Did I tell you I went to that uh St. Rosa's uh Bar and Grill? I gotta remember the name of it. And they were great. They were great. You texted me from there. So what I would just say to all the people, I'm gonna I'll keep talking while you're making a drink and we're gonna make a drink. Just listen though while you're making it. What I would say is, you know what I love about small town little bars and farming communities. You know what's so great about it, especially like on a Friday or Saturday night, especially on a Friday or Saturday night, all the old timers, they get all dolled up, right? It's Saturday night or Friday night, they gotta run the town because all week they've been working on the farm or doing whatever. They all get all the old ladies, get all get get their hair done, they get their nicest dresses on or their clothes on, they meet with their neighbor and friends and they all go up and have a great time. And everyone's happy. Wait a second, you city folks use that too. You're a city folks, it's it's called it's called hockey practice. No, women don't watch hockey. They don't watch hockey practice. That's the crazy dads that videotape it. But no, you go to these small town parts, and we were at the small town bar code in Saint, and I think it was in Saint Rosa. And we walk in, and of course Jay and Jay, they J Lo and J Lo, well, Jay and Red, Red, they already have a stab, but they know that they're cabin people, but they respect them because they're good people. Oh, the the bar people know the cabin people? Okay, yeah, but it's okay because they've they've worked their way in, they've worked their way in. Oh, they've been there. Okay, okay. So they don't just let anybody in these groups, like there's no whispering, they're like, hey, hey, so we met some of these local, like older generation, it's like queue up at his place, right? It's like that at the rustic, and it's like, okay, so we actually glommed on because they were then, so they actually liked us because they they actually questioned us a little bit, you guys from the cities, you guys are and we're like, so then like, oh, oh, over by Browerville? Oh, yeah. Well, then now you're good, right? And so it's like mom's from Long Fray, Dad J Lo and Red are from E Dina. I know, but they're not originally, he's from West Side. I know he's from West Side. But like I I name dropped. I was like, I was like, my mom's from Long Prairie, my dad's from Staples, and they're like, and that was instant like street cred. Oh, you didn't say that. You know, now you're good with these farmers, but they were so nice, and they were like they like the ladies. We were talking, and you get like a yeah, they do they they they get all dolled up, right? And then and then like they do their hair. At first, when I was talking to the wives, I mean they I don't understand. I do understand, but they all they all do that in the cities too, though. But they were going they were coming here first to have a bite to eat, a bite to eat. But the girls do. And then they're having a couple of drinks, and they were going back to one of their houses to play cards. Oh, and the guys had two pick. Did you have an invite to the house? I asked, and they're they they were like, and I said, We got a I said we have a dessert we'll bring. So you don't have a you don't have to bring it up. No, they were thinking about it. The women wanted us to come, but the guys were unsure. They were not, they were like, I don't know if this is a good idea. Yeah, because then if they come over, and then I go, Well, you only have three couples, five is gonna be too many. So I think it was just me and the eggs or just J-Lo and Red, I think they would have been invited because that would have been four, right? But it was an uneven number. But it was so funny because I when I was talking to the ladies, they're probably in their 70s, I would say, early 70s. Well, she's not much older than you. And the the men were kind of like question, I think they were kind of getting like, what are you talking to my woman for? You know, that kind of thing. Until they figured it out, and then they're like, then they're like, Oh, they're good people, okay, fine. Then then the lady's like, no, they're nice, they're not they're zero and red. Yeah, oh, oh, oh, a little birch or whatever, you know. And I was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was gonna get to is like of course, of course they know the lake, right? Yeah, but then I was showing you the picture of like the bartender. You don't even order a drink and he would bring it over. Like, I was like, we're like we're like ready to go. And like you would really like I'd be like taking a last sip and I put it down, and he'd come over and bring four drinks for all of us, and he knew what we were drinking, just throw them out there. And it happened like three or four or five times, and finally I'm like, Are you guys ordering these or is he just bringing them? Oh, he's just bringing them. So now like he came by, so like number six he comes over, and I'm like, hey man, what are you guys? You keep bringing them over. He's like, Don't be such a you know what. Right. You're at the bars in St. Rosa. You guys can you don't have that far to go. You guys can have some more. Keep playing your cards and just keep talking. We'll keep and it was kind of funny. I was texting you that night. I know, I know. I was I was I forgot about that. I was kind of tuned up that night. What the hell that texted you about those? I was texting you about something that night. They're good people up there though. It was they're good people, those locals. God, they're nice. Everybody go visit the small town bar. They're so nice. That there's nothing better than the small town bar. And the other one, in fact, if you live in the city, get the hell out of the city and go to a small town bar for a little bit. Well, unless you're in a city, like if you're in a small, like if you're in like a like a neighborhood, a nice neighbor, like an old neighborhood of St. Paul or something, there's some good bars there too. There's a few. There's a few. There's a few left. It's a different vibe. But there's it's a different vibe, but there's I don't think there's that many of them anymore, though. No, there's not. I think a lot of them are a lot. A lot of the old ones in like the St. Paul area, those those they've got, they've gotten under. Well, yeah. Do you want to go down there? Well, I mean, just I mean, even like COVID like shut down a lot of them. Oh, right. Yeah, but up there, they're good shit. Well, even like that, that rock tavern bar that was on the lake. Yeah, apparently that one's for sale or it's going out of business. And I'm like, how is it going out of business? This is like the place was packed. And I I don't know if the people want to retire it. I'm like, this would be a bar that you'd want to buy. You could actually make money off this. That'd be fun to do. But it'd be a lot of work. It'd be a fun, but it'd be a lot of work. A lot of work, and you don't enjoy it. Well, you need to have bunny, you have you gotta have good stab. And that's what they were running into. But they had like uh, I think they still had a smorgasbord there. Really? I think so. I was so happy when I saw that smorgasbord. Smorgus board is basically buffet. You hate buffets. I hate it, but I just like that word because it's a smorgasbord. Because they have like dumplings.

SPEAKER_00 58:45

So I have a smorgasbord. You're like, I'm in.

SPEAKER_01 58:48

If I say I'm doing buffet, but they have dumplings. I'm out. Most smorgas boards have uh dumplings, which is just dough.

SPEAKER_00 58:57

Just bread. Steamed bread. Is this a dumpling is steamed bread, right? I've never made a dumpling.

SPEAKER_01 59:04

I don't know how they're gonna. The place we went for the that's where we went to meet rabble first before we went to St. Rose. This bar was a restaurant and a bar on the lake. On the lake, on big, big birch. Yeah, but on on the wintertime.

SPEAKER_00 59:16

In the wintertime, you're probably snowbillers.

SPEAKER_01 59:18

But this snow, they don't they don't have like remember big J said at his he and there's no snow, it affects his uh bottom line at Tutals. Oh, yeah, right, right, right. Which I get. Well, I mean, we we the year of snow, the last the last year snowed. I bet you we would I bet you we probably drove up there three or four times. Yeah, because didn't Nancy flipped the snowbill over, or somebody flipped it over. That was a bar that was in Browville. No, I know, but over that hill. We flipped over there too. Oh, really? Yeah, no, I don't remember that. I mean, but but I mean we would we were up north more, so even if we didn't snowbill there, we were up north more, yeah, and we went to the barn because if it's just cold, I mean we don't have the greatest fishing lake in the wintertime. I mean, we can go out there and fish, but there's not a lot to do. But then again, what do we do here? That's what I always say. I do stuff here.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:10

I uh play I have things that I got things.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:12

I mean, there's things you can do, but it's like okay. You you you're getting to that age where you just had nothing to go on.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:18

I know you need to get a fucking hobby because I do you you were doom scrolling today on the on the Facebook. Oh, that was great.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:26

I was in my garage playing around, and like every five minutes I get like a ding send you videos. Well, I think tomorrow I what I might do is I might go to my office and start cleaning up the basement because I think I want to finish that off so we can put our studio there. I was gonna I was looking at it this week, I'm like, God, it's kind of a shit. It's a lot of work though, but at least I could clean it up somewhat. Yeah, you can start getting cleaned up. And I was like, God, I gotta get this done. And I was like, eh, that might be something I'll do it tomorrow. We'll see. Yeah, I got time. Anyways, did you figure out what you were gonna talk about before we went up?

SPEAKER_00 1:01:03

I totally forgot about what I was to talk about.

Small Town Bars And Cabin Life

SPEAKER_01 1:01:05

I recapped it and I was gonna get into a new subject, but I have no idea what it was anymore. Did I ever tell I lost it? Did I ever tell you about that invention? No, I came with an invention. You came with an invention. I did. Have you been noticing lately on the news and politics? With some of these storms that they've been having, they've been having a um like 100 car pile-ups. I just remember I was gonna talk about okay. Yeah, let's go. No, no, no. I got my new year invention. I got it written down so I can go back to it. No, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:38

Let's go, let's go in your invention.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:39

I'm not gonna see around invention is okay. Hear me out, here guys. Listen to me. So, you know, like when um airplanes, right? Because we were talking about getting our pilot's license stuff. You know, like on a lot of like like a commercial airline, if let's say you can't see a plane, but they have like that radar where it's like, okay, they're smart enough to know, like, hey, there's a plane in your route, you gotta change altitude so you don't crash, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:02:09

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:10

So what I was thinking was when you notice like I don't know if planes have radars. Well, whatever they have commercial trains, commercial planes, right? Commercial planes might, but whatever. They have the they have this technology that hey, or if there's a mountain come up, it's like you know, get higher. GPS, yeah. And I'm like, okay, you've been seeing a lot of this stuff on the news or on video where these these pile ups because of the snowstorms and these like Michigan, they had one, and this had another one where it's like 150, 200, and you can't see, so when you come in, it's you're you're screwed, right? And everyone's sliding in each other. And I thought, well, I've not seen this. You have never seen the car pile-ups where they come in and they come and slide it. Another one car pile up cleans. Okay, no, no, no. I was using an example. I said, So, like cranes got these tools where avert, you know, do something so you don't avert crashes. Well, what I was thinking was, especially with semis, you're saying you need to get like a pile up, let's say there's a pile up and a mile down the road, that there's something that it puts a signal to people, everyone behind. And at first the idea was just to put in semis because they're the ones that really cause the damage. But then I thought, well, that ain't just semis, let's put them in all vehicles. So, hey, alert, alert, alert. There's a pile up, it's snowing out, it's icy out in one mile, it's avert stop. But the only and then in that way it inverts all this chaos of a hundred cars piling up. Now, the only problems I have, there's there's one problem. Like, if there's a normal accident on the shoulder, I don't want it going out, but there's gotta be somewhere you can do it so it inverts this huge pile. Now, I didn't think it all through, but that that was my invention. And you couldn't mandate it, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:03:57

I mean, you couldn't mandate the all vehicles to have that. No, just have it like as an option as an option if you wanted to have it, right? Sure. All right, because I mean some people will have like vintage cars. I wouldn't want to put it in my Mustang.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:10

But you're not gonna be driving your your vintage car out in the blizzard. No, but you you so it'll go off in in pile-ups in the summertime, too, I assume. They don't have a lot of pile-ups in the summertime. They have accidents. I'm not saying I'm gonna avoid all I'm saying this is the pile-ups. The pile-ups is the worst bit. I mean, I don't I don't want to put it in my vehicles because I don't really I'm not worried about that. I guess I I'd be honest with you. I don't want to drive in the winter. I drive to the conditions. You the conditions are good. You said that at one time when you guys you missed the exit because it was so bad out, and that somebody came across the road and that you damn near would have got plowed by a semi. Yes. If you would have known that that happened, I laid on the I I just stayed on the gas and it went across behind me. Well, you're better than most you and I are better than most people that drive it, and I agree with that. I think we're both very good driving. We think we think 10 saps ahead. We don't. I'm just saying for the public as a moneymaker, and like you sell this technology to Ford, Chevy, GM, and like uh Dodge, and uh, and then Peter, uh like the semis. I think the semis are the ones that they can't probably already have it. No, they don't. I bet you I bet you like the semis can't. Tesla could probably put that right in there. Shit. I don't even I don't even care about well Tesla, right? But I don't even care about so much the cars as the semis that come sliding in. They can't stop, they're like shit, what am I supposed to do? And then they that's the problem. It could save lives. It could, it could, and that was my invention. I don't think a lot of those pile ups get cost lives on because people usually just well people idiots get out of the car, idiot. You don't want to get out of your car. No, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:48

Save your car, yeah. Yeah, don't get out of the car.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:50

Get out in way off the side or something. Yeah, I'm I'm just saying that was my invention. One, one of them. I have another interesting idea. Thank you. I don't know if it's practical. Why do you gotta wreck my dreams? Well, I love it. It's great. Oh, no, I'm not sure. It's an interesting idea. I just don't I don't you'd have to retrofit so many cars. And it would take it would take years and years to implement into new cars. Would it? Would it really? Yeah, I know, but sensors. But to get it to go into new cars. So you're basically gonna go, new cars are gonna have all this. All the old cars up to the from this from from 2000 and you can buy it as a 26. You could buy it as you can't go on it. How you buy as an option? No, you buy it. In order for your car to transmit that signal to somebody if you get an accident, would have to be upgraded. Right, yeah, you can do it. It's kind of like putting a TV on your center of console screen. They have that where you can just plug it in, you watch TV on your screen. Like you, you're not supposed to be watching TV when you're driving. Uh I don't why do. But everything from 2026 and previous wouldn't have it. So you're like you're talking about like 98% of the vehicles on the road. So what? It's an invention that I'm thinking of. I don't know how to implement it. I mean, it says it would take it would take years to implement. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, but it it could work. It could work, it could work, and it will eventually. Well, now they got flying cars. I mean, oh yeah. I want that. Well, it's like I was I was listening to um like uh Joe Rogan one time. He's like Who's that?

SPEAKER_00 1:07:29

He's uh he's a comedy, a comedian?

SPEAKER_01 1:07:32

I thought he was on that UFC. He's on UFC, yeah. He was announcer.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:36

Yeah, he's in UFC. Well, they're doing UFC at the White House.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:39

Anyways, um They have one tonight. And they're doing and they're doing a race, like our car racer the summer around DC. But anyways, I was watching him and he's like his his full his his theory is like we're gonna be riding gas like like driving cars like people drive horses in in the near future. Oh, so it's a single-person car? No, no, you're you're like, you're gonna take your car out and drive around on some roads, like somebody that like takes an old horse out and rides it around just for fun. But your normal car is gonna be the automatic Tesla style automatic driving kind of thing. No, I'm gonna get one of those drones that you fly. They have them though. Oh well, but you gotta you gotta be less than 250 pounds, they said. And like it's only gonna go like 15 minutes away. Perfect, but it's gonna get better. I like that. We gotta get our pilots.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:37

I just want I just want to get those. I want to get those skis he found me.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:41

Milwaukee skis. Put those on the car.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:50

Those AI videos where you like you put these little Milwaukee batteries or Dewalt.

A Winter Pileup Warning Invention

Pirate Box TV Dog Channels Wrap

SPEAKER_01 1:08:54

Yeah, it was real. They had Dewall and Milwaukee. And it's got like little snowbill skis on them, or snowbill tracks on them. You should call Q right now. We should we gotta call Q. I don't think he'll answer. Oh, he's probably at the rustic. He's he might be at the rustic. Well, he's playing cards. Well, if he's playing cards, he'd be on the air. Well, yeah. Yeah, you sure? Oh, yeah, he'll be on. Well, we're gonna ask him. Oh, the skis. Well, ask him about does he have the Milwaukee ones or the Dewalt ones? All right. Say we both got our Milwaukee ones. We're trying them out, they're great. Hey, we're trying them. Let's say they came today. They came today. We were trying them out, they're awesome. Can can you hear me on my phone? Yeah, you try to. Well, that would awfully fucking weird. So we we had to cut some of that off because it went on for a long time and it was very hard to understand what they were saying. And but it worked. You what? They're having a good time. They're having a good time, they're having a really good time. Yep, that's all that matters. And they're winning at poll tabs. So good for them. What do you say? He won like 800 bucks tonight. Yeah, like 400 at the must have had the Muni, right? He's across the street. Yep. Well, he was he's at the Muni now. Oh, I think it was at the rustic. So he poured four at the rustic and then went to the Muni. Yep. Then a boy. Yeah. And we got to see uh uh Q's wife and the neighbored up there. She was Q's wife was fondling her a little bit. Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah, like like the movies. Yeah, that they did they do that every once in a while. I was like, hey, where can we get in on that? Yeah, I know they do that sometimes, but we're too far away to I wouldn't just pop it. Yeah, it was long distance. Yeah, it was a but it had video, they were having a good time, and first of all, how'd you guys get video call? Because you don't have uh iPhones, you have the other phones. We have androids, yeah. Well, how do you guys do that? Because we have androids, yeah. But it's not like called uh FaceTime, is it? It's called video call. Oh, you just call it video call, nothing. Yeah, can you video call me? We're not we're not we're not fancy like FaceTime. Well, you are fancy. We don't have a fancy name for it. No, you are fancy. We don't have a fancy name for it. We just have you are fancy video call. Yeah, you guys are actually fancy because you have the fancy ones. I don't even know how it worked in anyways. I don't have a fancy phone, I got like an old phone. I like my little phone. Did you um remember you wrote down the last segment? You remember what you were gonna talk about? I was gonna talk about this. So we got because we're at one 111. Oh, we gotta wrap it up. All right, so my I want to talk about my my my pirate box. But that's incriminating yourself. Uh no, it's not because a pirate box is illegal. That well, but so we that's old, it's an old vernacular, old term for it. Vernacular. You can buy them on eBay, so it's not it's not illegal. No, it's it's illegal to use them. It's not illegal to buy them.

unknown 1:12:07

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:08

Well, there you go. It's pretty I own one. Okay, okay, but you don't use it. No, no, I just if you were to use it, if I were to use it, how is it working? That's actually pretty interesting. It's it's it's almost overwhelming though, because it's got it does have guides, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:12:24

So you can you can you can find things to a point, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:28

Um, but it's at every channel from every city in the US. Oh wow, in Canada, Canadians. The look you can get the local channels, yeah. On every city, in every market. Pretty much every market, yes. So don't did you does yours do that too? Well, I didn't know. The one you had? I no, I did the jail break. Right. I did the jail break on the fire stick. And so you don't I don't have to do anything in mine, I just plugged it in and went. I a family member of mine taught me how to do it. But this is more of a box, like the like you think you think of your old pirate boxes? Yeah, I like that box. I like that but because so what you have to do, and and technically with the break jail breaking, you're supposed to update it every like month or whatever, and it just got to be like like you said, like I had 400 um sports channels, right? Right, right. Just sports. So you have an you have like an icon on your screen that you want sports, you click on that. Okay, this isn't like that, and I didn't like that because then you gotta go through all the local sports to find your one. There is like and then and then like the movie channels, yeah. So you had all like HBO show type, all that was that was fine, whatever. But then, like then you had another icon for just news channels, and then you had another icon for movies, okay, and then you found one, and then because you never knew what to down. There's so many you can download. Like, it's all there. If someone had told you just download this, this, and this, and this, it'd probably be a lot better. But you get it, they like you can you get to like figure out my code's like preloaded with like yeah, so that would be better. It could be because they're not preloaded, and you can download everything you want. See, mine's got like six. The one the one Q the one Q has got an older one, but he got a much better deal than I did. And there's no guide, but he knows there's a guide. As I have a guide on ours, there's not. So yeah, and I hated it.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:17

You have guides, so you can go through and scroll through the guides, and you can you can select favorites.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:21

So once you find those channels, and then like favorites. I'm gonna let you guys watch it for a while and see if you like it, and then I would probably switch to it. I was watching uh the pickleballs today. I like pickleballs, and I was watching it was like the Tempi, or what the hell is it the Tempi Tornadoes? I didn't know there was a team. I didn't know there was a team. Yeah, yeah, I was watching Tornadoes. Oh and they were they were they were kicking the shit out of the other team. It was pretty good. There's some guys that were good. And there was uh there was like there was like two dudes playing, and it was like it was like tennis. I mean, those that ball, I mean Yeah, they go for like a half hour before was like ridiculous. I know, I know how they do it. I can't I can't react that fast. It was so fast, and it was and it was like every one of them was like like just seriously like hit the ball shit, hit the shit out of it. So it's pretty it's pretty impressive, and then they also have dog TV. I didn't know they had that thing. That's the thing. I think that's so funny. I had never seen that channel. I didn't, I haven't either. My dogs would love that. My dog was he got I think he got bored of that because I left the Donalds in the garage for a while. Was it this birds like flying around? It's like birds and dogs playing with toys. It's kind of weird. He watched it, didn't you? Well, you sit there and then doing then when somebody walked in the garage, you turned the channel real quick. I didn't have it, I don't have I don't have it in the porn. It's not porn. I don't have it in the garage, but you were like, oh shit, I turned it real quick. What are you doing on here? Nothing. What were you watching? Never mind.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:47

I don't have it in the garage, I only have it in the living room, so I couldn't do that. But I left it on the living room for him.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:52

I like some of those, like those reels. I I hate the internet, right? But I like the reels when the dogs they'll watch like Godzilla or something and they get all excited. Right. They're like that's like strange. That's a white. And then some of the AI stuff and then the TV falls down and it breaks. I'm like, I don't know if that's real or not. That's the thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:10

Everything's on the internet. Nothing you get, you almost have to assume everything's fake. Yeah. Because it's it's so much junk out there, right? I but the party watching the dog videos. Anyways, the pirate box is pretty cool though.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:22

Because it's like I have my mom lives in in Louisiana, my dad lives in Florida. And so I just I popped up like the local news to see what's going on in their in their in their neck of the woods.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:32

That's nice. I couldn't know that. It's kind of like, I'm like, this is kind of interesting. Yeah. And see what's going on down there. Because I mean, down south, they're like the coolest. They always have good-looking women in the soul on the nose. They do not. They don't? No. So they don't? Not always. No. Why not they always in Louisiana? It was a larger, it was a larger dude. It was kind of women. It kind of remembered like a like a black Keith Marlar. For doing the weather. Oh well, he's a little heavy. Yeah, a little bigger guy. I like Keith. Same kind of thing. He was entertaining. Was he funny? Yeah. Why are all meteorologists always kind of be like that? They always gotta be funny. I think he's a good guy. They do the thing like, well, we know so much about weather, but we run all things the time. So they're always gonna attract jokes. They're like, they're like smart funny, though. I mean, you know they're because they're actually meteorologists, they actually study this stuff. I didn't I'd have a brand new with Marler. I what I'd have a brand new with Marlar. Oh, for sure. He's funny, he's he's a nice guy. He just lives up the road here. He lives in MG. He didn't know. I know I know he does. Yeah, he's he's funny. No, I for sure. And it's and then, like, I pull up the the Monroe, Louisiana. Yeah. Like, dude. It is scarce. Is that a small market? I that might be people that just like. Well, Monroe, Monroe is like where like the Duck Dynasty guys are from. Yeah, I know, but is that is that like uh like like you just graduated from college and that's like your like first place you go and you should get to the big markets? I think Monroe's got a little bit more money, but probably. No, yeah, yeah. I would say that. I was gonna I mean it's not it's not New Orleans, right? Or New Orleans, New Orleans, New Orleans or or did you say New Orleans?

SPEAKER_00 1:18:12

I did say New Orleans. That's pretty bad. And I know how to say it. Hey, I'm from New Orleans.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:19

Oh, when the Saints go marching in New Orleans. I actually like it. I'm gonna call it New Orleans. That's what it used to be called. It was that's what I grew up knowing it. I grew up knowing it, calling it New Orleans, yeah. That's nice. And then noise, I call it New Orleans, but what do you New Orleans? Oh, it's one word. What's the other one that they say one word? The other one in the south. It's over East more. They would say one word. Louisville. Louisville, it's not Louisville, it's Louisville. Louisville. Yeah, yeah. Louisville. Louisville. It's like Norland. If you're down there's the N Islands, yeah. That's awesome. So did so you like the box? I'm actually enjoying it. The only thing is, I don't have it memorized, like, okay, so like there's like three live TV apps, and I'm trying to remember. But they don't they don't all play the same thing. Like only one of them has dog TV. So you you're a big fan of the dog TV. No, but I I couldn't find anything. I actually had Is it called dog TV? Yes, it is, it's a channel.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:26

I had I actually had to go to the garage. And so what was it? Because Q told me about it.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:30

Okay and he sent me a video of his, he showed me a picture of his dog, like all right watching it. Yeah. And so is it just like other dogs on TV, or is it like a lot of his other dogs on TV playing? Like, like the one, like when he actually when I when I went in there and like showed it. Is there a cat TV? I don't know. Maybe we should that's maybe another invention. There you go. Let's start a cat TV. I know.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:51

But there was a dog like chewing on like a like a rawhide, yeah. That he was into. Like, what the shit? He's like, he's like, what are you chewing on the rawhide for you?

SPEAKER_01 1:19:59

I don't know. Sometimes when I put on the phone, and then they did like a squeaky toy. I put the duck hunt on and the dogs, and then the my dog will watch the duck hunt and stuff every once in a while.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:09

And then he kind of like twists his head like eh, eh. But then he loses interest because you hear the duck. The duck calls. But they don't, but then he doesn't do like on the videos on the YouTubes where they they go and they try to act. He doesn't he walks away. He loses interest in like three seconds. Right. But same way. My dog's the same way. But it's it is pretty cool though. I think well, I I'm kind of I'm kind of digging this whole firebox thing. But my little dog, my little dog, I can't, I can't, because I like to leave I I like to um put stuff on when I'm not here, but I can't put on uh the the local sports channel because for because from Nuna 2, you know, was on Nuna 2. And you're talking about on the radio, yeah. Right, and that noise, that noise that because he always plays where the email comes in. Uh huh. Nordy, my little dog, he shakes because he thinks it's like he don't like that noise for some reason. There's something wrong with that dog. There is some room boom. It was something he's like, and the the smoke detector tonight, it chirped one time. Oh and he starts shaking like a leaf. No, it's it shook more than once, or dung or he's shaking like a leaf. He's like, and his tongue came out, he was so nervous. I'm like, oh my god, the battery's dead, you jagass. He came down here and he's like like stamina my feet. Yeah, no, I know, but I say, Hey, I see your name, and he's like, he goes to the door, I'm like, what is wrong with you? And that's does he really? Yeah, you my dog does that my dad. My dog, my dog does that for your dog, your dog's name. Me, or you, grandpa, and um um Daryl. Oh, really? And then he goes, hmm, mm-hmm. See, my dog does it. Not my black lab, but the little dog. What am I when I say when I say when I say your dog's names, my dog goes crazy.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:59

He goes to the door looking for him.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:01

There's something wrong with that guy. And then so when Noona 2 comes on and he plays that noise of an email, and he just starts shaking like a leaf. Like, what's wrong with you? So now what I do is I just leave the TV on. But if I had the dog TV, that might actually be good. The dog, you gotta get one of these things. I mean, it's really it was it's kind of funny. I mean, what I'm enjoying it just because I'm kind of on like how you get the I'm a little I'm a little more in the in the into politics a little bit to it. Well, do they get it? So I like I like watching what's going on in Canada. CCN Canada channels, yeah. You've got CC or uh what's that called CBN, CBN Canadian broadcast news or something like that. I like watching like uh so that was the thing with that when I um jailbreak the fire stick, I could watch the hockey channel up there. Yeah, and it was kind of interesting. Every and they have goddamn that they have the accent. Every channel I went to. And everything's in meters or like uh French or whatever. Yeah, it's so funny. But every channel I went to today when I was watching, I was flipping through the Canadian channels had the hockey game. Yeah, Canada Night. Every one of them had the Canadian hockey game. It was hockey night in Canada. Yeah, I think on Saturday. So I think everything. Yeah, every channel had hockey had was playing like you know that um Judah was um banging the old prime minister right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the singer girl, right? Yeah, Katie Perry is like banging Trudeau. How old is she? She is she getting older. She's got a week. 40s? I would well, let's do an over-under on this one. Don't tell me. I'm gonna say she's gonna say she's gotta be 40 and 10. She's gotta be. I would say she's 38. I'm gonna say she's he's gotta be like 54, right? Hold on, I'm gonna find it here. 48 and 50 or 38 and 54. I got the eye of the tiger. Tiger. I bet you she's 30. I bet you she's about 39. He can't be Dana Fordyone. He's like, no, I I get somebody younger than you. I would say uh Kevin? Kevin Trudeau. Is it Kevin? I don't know, it's Trudeau. Remember when he was against the truckers? We're gonna do politics. What an idiot. No, I don't want you to politics. I'm just curious. KD Perry's gotta be like I I would say 31. 41. I was close. I said 39. She'll turn 42 in October. How old's Trudeau? He's gotta be about 53. Uh 62. Oh, good for him. Wow, and a good for him. That's 20 years. He's in he's not a bad-looking fellow. No, they say he looks a lot like the the castrel guy. Oh, really? I did not see that. Fidelity. I think it looks like mayor. I think he looks like our mayor of Minneapolis. Oh, come on. Oh, that's what I've had in my notes. I said, I said, okay, I said, hey, listeners, guess what? We got a lot of news in Minneapolis lately. Yeah, okay. The Vikings fired their general manager. That's not a lot of news. There's a lot of news in Minneapolis lately. Yeah, the Vikings.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:20

It's almost embarrassing how much Minnesota is in the news right now.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:22

We we fired her the twins general manager didn't even make the news. And then Quasi Adesa Mensa. Or no, can you put his name up there so I can read it? Quasi Adesa. Is that Edensa Mesa? Who the hell was a leader of Cuba for a while there? Venezuela? No, Cuba. Oh, Cuba? Castro? Castro. Quaci Ades. He got fired, so that's that's too bad. He's a nice guy, but the problem is the Vikings gave away their quarterback and he's in the Super Bowl this year. Weird. Funny. I don't even know what we're doing right now. We should probably wrap it up. No, that's fine. I just want to see Kevin or yeah. Is it Kevin? He needs to be fired though. I I thought that last. Oh, the Vikings GM? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, he may be. He's not he is you were very wait, wait. I bet you'd go back into the podcast on this on this podcast. I see. And find sometimes you were no, you were like very pro pro pro him. I wasn't really pro pro pro him, but what I was doing, I was doing a glass half full kind of guy. And I had hoped for him, but he I I I really I really knew that this quarterback thing was a shit show. Well, you never know. You never know when there's a diamond in the roof. That's not the people. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, if if you would have that's not that left is. I would have said, here's what I would have did. That's not Kevin Trudeau, is it? Yeah, no, left it is. That's Castro on the right. Yeah. But anyways, I would have said this. Okay, you won 14 games and you screwed up in the playoffs. If you're the quarterback whisperer and you're that you're the coach and everyone knows that you're the quarterback whisperer, why would you give up a 14-win season quarterback? You can improve on that, and then as you have the young guy on the bench, he can learn from that guy and let's ride that guy. That's what I said all along. And you say, oh, well, it's$100 million. Well, what do you think it's no, but he didn't want he didn't he didn't want to be the he didn't want to be there for one year. He they offered a million one year contract. He wanted a four year contract. Well, I would have I think he took it. I think he's like a three or four year contract with Seattle. Well, look at looking at he's in the Super Bowl this year. Two years in a row for you. No, I get I get it. They made a mistake. And granted, hindsight, Monday morning quarterback, I get it. I was, I will admit, I was like, well, let's give this guy a chance. The guy because he was a winner. I was hopeful. He was a winner in Michigan. I did not think he was. But but like I would say earlier today when we were not. I actually had more hopefulness. We tried to get the guy from New England. We couldn't do it. No, I I mean I was I was more hopeful from the guy from uh from Minnesota. The kid from St.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:20

Cloud. Or not St. Cloud, but from the Gophers. The quarterback. We we started once one game this year.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:27

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:29

I thought it's a good one. Well, I'm drawing a blank.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:31

I'm drawing a blank at his name. Uh, I know what you're saying. But he's about as good as the other guy. I don't know. If you're gonna be really honest, he did horrible. Oh, he's about the same talent. The game he started. He's the same. But the the next thing he popped into. Yeah, he was awesome. He he's about the same talent. Let's just be honest. He doesn't have a name. And then it's iced him up because of that. It's this is so silly. It's like, whatever, dude. It's like the quarterback is so important in football in NFL. We just need to get Burroughs. Get Burroughs. I would. Get Burroughs. He's not happy there. We got some, we got some, we got some talent. Can we?

SPEAKER_00 1:29:08

I mean Jefferson's still under contract for another year. I think I'm pretty sure he's got one more year left in his contract. So I mean, yeah. Go go Burroughs.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:20

Let's make something happen. Yeah. Are you texting somebody right now? Yeah. My daughter was texting me. What did she say? She said. You always complain that she don't text you. She just, well, I texted her four times today. She didn't respond until now. She probably just woke up. Wait a second, we can get my glasses back on. For your listeners out there, it is quarter to eleven at night? Yeah, she didn't wake up. I'm gonna take a picture for her next. How do you do this? What? How do you do a picture? Hang on. How are you doing a picture of your phone? Shut up. Did you say that for real? I did. It's not working. Oh, there is a button. I got it. I don't know this picture. I don't want to take a picture with your phone. That's like the only thing I know how to do. Do you take a picture of yourself in the mirror? Every day. That's weird. No, it's not it's not. All I know is this. All I know is this. I'm gonna re-watch it. I might have to go get some food. That's the only thing I don't know how to do is that the pirate box. We're back on the pirate box. Is you can't record this stuff. Uh oh, what are you gonna do? I don't know. Because I like to enjoy watching it later. A lot of things. I like to rewatch the wild game. But you can pause it.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:52

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:53

You should be able to record it. No, you you can't save it, pause it. But you can pause live TV, but you can't save it to watch it later. I bet you're waiting. So if you guys know how to do this thing, Google it. All right. Well, I will Google it. But if you listeners, no alter. First of all, if you know how to do it, email me at Eddie and J at Brandon B S. So I want to know if you have the the V C A R? V C V and Victor S-E-E B O X box V C box. S-E-E. I thought it was the letter C.

Oh you can watch it live. Well you could download the app on um the app and you can re-watch it. I mean I have it right now. So I mean I have I have the app so I can watch it whatever I want. I know I can watch it on the end of the game. I have fan dual app, so I can watch it whenever I want, I guess. Technically, I mean they get like they save them on there. Oh, okay. But I want to know how to do it on the VC app. So if you know how to do that, let me know. Eddie and J at branded the BS.com. And don't forget to go to brandedthebs.com. Yes. And check out the merch.

Do you think that supper clubs and then like have a band where you can sit down, have some dinner, and then watch them watch, watch a band. I don't think they do that anymore. They just need to. That was in the 70s and 80s. I know they do. I know it was. They didn't need to do it again. I like supper clubs. They need to do it again. Because they have um they have bring it back. Bring it back. Why not bring it back? I think supper clubs have uh dumplings. You're really on a dumpling thing. Where did dumplings come from? It's Humpty Dumpty, right? Isn't it the same thing? Humpty Dumpty fell off the great wall? Humpty dumplings. Not the great wall. Humpty dumplings. I mean uh I don't think there is a dumpling in that one, and that's not. I don't think there's a dumpling in that chicken and dumplings? Yeah, that's a thing. It's mashed potatoes and gravy. No, dumpling is a dough, it's bread. Yeah, but isn't it good with gravy?
