Porch Time

A coworker leaves after years and suddenly the day feels off, even if the work still gets done. That’s where our porch talk starts: the “missing piece” feeling, the way crews change, and how you can be happy for someone’s next move while still bracing for the chaos their absence might cause.

From there, we do what we do best and follow the conversation wherever it goes. A loose wolf dog stealing attention during an Olympic event turns into a bigger riff on why sports are better when they’re simple, surprising, and shared. We also get into politics in sports, why it feels like everyone broadcasts their vote now, and why we miss the days when people could disagree without trying to burn every bridge.

Then it’s weather whiplash, daylight saving time complaints, and a fast run through headlines and oddball stories: tariffs, a curling controversy, a pizza concept that raises questions, and a pickleball marathon record that sounds less like glory and more like punishment. We wrap with the kind of real-life comedy you can’t plan, including the mystery of shoes left outside for months and a detour into foot sizes and the little keepsakes we hang onto.

SPEAKER_04 5:17

Yeah, exactly. Just I guess some people had this dog at escape. I think where they had the cross country time. Is it in Italy or something? I'm not sure. Guess the dog got loose. Ended up on a track or the trail or whatever for cross country and the females are going. And there's the dog. Oh my just following along and people are more interested. The dog got more of an applause than the people in the I just thought it was a cute story, a funny story. I'm like, well, yeah, if that was happening more in the Olympics, I'd be watching.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

I'd watch it, yeah. If I knew there was a dog in there, I'd be right there at it.

SPEAKER_04 5:54

Speaking of Olympics, a lot of them, you know, you get all the Olympians who are like, Yeah, Trump. I guess the Canadian woman's hockey. I mean, no, the U.S. woman's hockey team was all together. Arm and I'm singing the national anthem. That's awesome. Yes. They may not like what's going on, but they sat there and did what it's right by their country. Because it's not about Trump. Nope. It's USA. It's unity.

You got forty games and you better do something, you better be on topic. Well say that's like baseball. Every game was like playoff hockey, and I love that.

This is a public service announcement from the MT Alternative Podcast. That he showed that extended porch time with Mike and Tom may lead to dangerous side effects. Symptoms include saying just one more story for the fifth time, forgetting what day it is, solving the world's problems without anyone asking, and suddenly having very strong opinions about music from 1975. Medical professionals warn that porch time may cause uncontrolled laughter, unnecessary debates, and the belief that you could definitely run a podcast better than most people. In severe cases, listeners have reported staying up way too late and telling their spouse, hold on, Mike's making a point. If your loved one experiences porch time lasting longer than four hours, please seek help, or at least refill your drink and grab a chair. Remember, porch time is not recommended while operating heavy machinery, making life decisions, or pretending you're only listening for five minutes.

Feel free to uh comment on any of these if you want. Okay. All right, we know we all know about the rising U.S. Iran tensions. Yeah, a little bit. Okay, well, we won't get into the doom and gloom there. Diplomacy on Ukraine. Yeah. Peace talks continued in Geneva involving U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. Well, that's a good thing.

SPEAKER_03 25:11

Well, unexpected? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:13

Influencing markets while major tech profits, notably NVIDIA, are closely watched by investors. Let's see. AP news stories include U.S. political legal development, such as Supreme Court decision on tariffs and shifts in federal prosecutions alongside immigration and public safety headlines. Well funny thing about the uh let me just point this out. How they Supreme Court said, no, you can't do that. Exactly. But yet, the Supreme Court, one of the judges also put, if you're gonna do it, you do it this way. Right. So Trump's like, okay, cool. Yeah, that's how we're gonna do it now. Loopholes. He loves loopholes. I shouldn't say I keep saying Democrats. All the lefties yesterday were celebrating until even CNN said, Yeah, he can still put tariffs on. Yeah, he can do it this way now.

But they, according to the Olympics, they can't use that footage because it's it's a non right. So it's like, here you go, dumbasses. Then maybe you should put cameras up above.

SPEAKER_03 26:55

Oh, don't go away, vulture. We're not dead yet. Nope. We're we're getting there, but not yet. I just seen an attempted murder.

SPEAKER_04 36:44

Where?

SPEAKER_03 36:44

Over there where there's two crows. That's just an attempted murder. Yeah, there's not a bunch of them yet. Right, right, right. Little more that will be murder. The good old rebel flag flopping around over there across the yard. Ragged. Ragged.

SPEAKER_04 37:06

I think Tom, I think it's time he changes it.

SPEAKER_03 37:09

Yeah, that one's about needing to be retired. It looks like it was threads hanging off it. Yeah, it looks like it was the original Confederate. It looks like it was there in the army. It actually went through battle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure it has seen some battles over there.

SPEAKER_04 37:29

I'm sure I agree with you. Trust me, I live here.

SPEAKER_03 37:32

Yeah, this morning, I think I saw a battle go down the road and come back.

SPEAKER_04 37:39

Who knows what goes on next door? What goes on? How the wind changed direction. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:45

See, that's a cool little thing, though. You see it where it moves, you know which way the wind's blowing.

SPEAKER_04 37:51

Yeah, I'm not liking it going all over the place right now.

SPEAKER_03 37:54

Right now, it thing's just wrapping around the pole.

SPEAKER_04 37:57

Which way you want to go, wind.

SPEAKER_03 37:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:00

We're babbling now, of course.

SPEAKER_03 38:02

How am I supposed to know where to pee if I don't know which way the wind's blowing? Come on. Well, you got to turn with it.

SPEAKER_04 38:09

You look like a frickin' sprinkler.

SPEAKER_03 38:12

Sprinkler.

SPEAKER_04 38:14

Anyways, I think now's a good time to end this. Oh, yeah. Who knows where we're going with it, but uh now seems like a good time to end it.

SPEAKER_03 38:22

It's a beautiful day. It's just hard to stay focused on any one thing.

SPEAKER_04 38:26

You sure it's just a beautiful day and nothing else, maybe? It could be maybe some mind-altering. Maybe. Anyways, folks.

SPEAKER_03 38:40

Have a great weekend and a good week. I hope everybody does. Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_04 38:46

And uh thanks for listening to this boring MT alternative rampage. But that's what it's about. That's what it's all about.

SPEAKER_03 38:57

It is about. Hey, it's been a while since we've been on the porch. Yeah, a couple guys just sitting out, joining the day. Exactly. Talking about whatever comes up. This is true.

SPEAKER_04 39:08

But uh, Tom, it's been great.
