We return after a three-week hiatus to discuss the challenges of balancing podcast consistency with our personal lives and summer vacations. Our conversation explores the unexpected moments when fans found us during our supposed break and the different ways vacation impacts our work lives.
• Explaining our three-week absence due to summer vacations and busy schedules
• Sharing stories of unexpected fan encounters during vacation with teenagers and their parents seeking us out
• Discussing the challenge of maintaining podcast consistency while having full-time jobs and personal lives
• Exploring how different job types (remote work vs. physical labor) create different vacation experiences
• Examining how podcast listenership naturally dips during summer months and increases after Labor Day
• Acknowledging the importance of occasionally prioritizing yourself over consistent content creation
• Recounting a heated go-kart racing dispute from vacation activities

Hey everybody, welcome to Saki Toomey.
Speaker 1:Deliverbee, I guess.
Speaker 2:Well, not true, but hey everybody, welcome back to Saki Toomey me, where we connect people to people, even if it means taking three weeks off because we're on a fucking vacation for everything. We just had that episode. I'm here with casey, hi everyone. And we just had that episode where I was like, oh, everybody posts those pictures and we go on vacation. We can't get anybody here for three weeks to record a new episode for to save our lives, you know it's summer it's a little tough we had some issues and yeah I'm busy af.
Speaker 1:Everybody's busy or on vacation and you know it's fallen. It's not good, we'll be back at it people miss me oh, do they, they did. Why do you think that?
Speaker 2:why do you think that? Why do you think that I don't know? You watched it happen, oh boy. You watched it happen on vacation, oh oh man, oh man, oh man. If I had any kind of litmus test to tell you how amazing I am all the time, really. Which is incredible, oh my.
Speaker 1:God.
Speaker 2:Because you know I don't like to brag about myself. You do, though no, you know I do not like to do that. Okay, I am not better than anyone else, I am just awesome, right, and you literally watched it I did witness it.
Speaker 1:It was kind of crazy.
Speaker 2:So casey and I yeah, casey and I put the families together, went on a vacation vacation. We did yes, and that was the biggest part. We did record one episode on vacation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like the first night or something.
Speaker 2:I never got to edit or put up, but I will. I'll put it out there anyway, because I mean it's goofy but whatever.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:We were supposed to record one every day. Yeah, and we did not do that.
Speaker 1:But that's vacation. It was a good goal.
Speaker 2:It was a good goal, but we failed. Anyway, holy cow, I have said to you, since we even dreamed of starting this thing, that we should just do this because people are going to start saying things I say Tell me, I'm wrong.
Speaker 1:You have.
Speaker 2:Tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker 1:You're not wrong on this. I can't say that, so you're not wrong.
Speaker 2:And we get there, and it's the very first day. Now, mind you, we're with two young ladies yep 13, almost 14 year old girls that utilize snapchat, of course, to find friends. Yeah, right. And what happened after they found friends?
Speaker 1:oh, the friends loved you, I it's. It was crazy. I've never. They wanted to hang out with you. Let's go play games, let's sit and do the puzzle together. Apparently, they talked nonstop to their parents about you Can.
Speaker 2:Dino raise the beach.
Speaker 1:Can we go with him in the car to the beach? I don't get it. So yeah, I didn't even realize you even interacted with them that much, but they loved you.
Speaker 2:I didn't. That's the crazy part and that's what I was trying to explain to you. I don't know how this happens. I don't know why it happens, but it's great. I do appreciate it, but I can't even go on vacation and right not have people knocking on our door.
Speaker 1:It's crazy the parents were actually pretty cool. I wish we had met them earlier in the week they were very cool yeah I was glad to have met them.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna use their names on this, but, uh, if you are, if you do happen to listen to it, thanks for having us over yeah it was a great time. It's a pleasure meeting all of you and and Cool Beans man Maybe we'll see you somewhere.
Speaker 1:Maybe we'll see them again.
Speaker 2:They seem to know a lot of people, but man, I'm down there packing on Friday night because we've got to leave early Saturday morning to come back home and they're ringing the doorbell. Yep, and I didn't go out.
Speaker 1:No, you did not, because you were wrapping stuff up and we waited for a little bit. And then they felt, I think, that they were bothering us, which wasn't true. I just didn't really know they were waiting for you, so I didn't know what to say at that point. So they said their kids had talked about you the whole week, so you were the star. Apparently they had to come meet you.
Speaker 2:That's incredible. Which is so funny. It's like sakatumi's getting out there. Sakatumicom check it out we did have a lot of uh time off we did, but that week was hilarious. And because you are now beginning to see what I've said to you about the things I say and the things I do, the manner in which I deliver them nothing I have original. I've ripped everything off from other comics, all kinds of other, and I just make it my own Movies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like I improvise it, so I give everyone else credit. If you said, oh, you got this from that, I'd be like yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's become a game. Yeah, where did it come from? Where did he get that from? That's exactly right. It's become a game and that's what I use it as. That's my shtick. I'm using other people's material for other. It's like another language, right.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I speak two languages English and movies. Do you know what I?
Speaker 1:mean, right, I just like, and you do know an obscene amount of movie quotes For whatever I just like, and you do know an obscene amount of movie quotes.
Speaker 2:I, for whatever reason, I am able to recite movie quotes quite easily.
Speaker 1:You can't remember what you ate for breakfast today, but you can remember the lines. Remind me Everything.
Speaker 2:Remind me of that in a minute, because I will tell you a story about that just today, oh boy, so anyway. Yeah, 10, 15. We have these adults, yeah, Kn. Knocking on our door uh-huh wanted to meet us you, really you. They had to meet you, it's, I just happened to be there well, they wouldn't have wanted to meet me if it wasn't for you also, so take some credit for it okay but yes, I'm the one I'm the one their kids were.
Speaker 1:You're the one that the kids were obsessed with and wanted to be your bestie.
Speaker 2:I am awesome. What do you want from me? I don't know what else to tell you. It was pretty funny, but it was incredible. And finally, in some sort of I don't want to use the term grandiose, but in some sort of way I was able to say to you see, see, it's not like I don't see it at other times.
Speaker 1:This was just insane to watch happen. This was Because they weren't even adults. They were these 14-year-old kids.
Speaker 2:No, no, no stop, they were adults.
Speaker 1:Well.
Speaker 2:But they were kids first of all. Yeah, the kids first, and now they are the adults came also Right. Yeah, they're like we had to meet this guy Exactly. Why me? I don't know what have I got. I have two arms, two legs and a head, just like everyone else. Oh jeez, but it was great.
Speaker 1:It was pretty funny.
Speaker 2:It's flattering, though, when people do that, it really is flattering, and I feel bad because we left these people high and dry for three or four weeks now without a new episode I know it's crazy, because we really fell off there god forbid, we should have our own lives I know right.
Speaker 2:And look, we've said this before, we'll say it a thousand times you've got your job, I've got my job. We do this for fun and we try and put it out there every week, so we're consistent, right, and it really does get difficult because this really is a second job, right, and it's hard to keep up with everything.
Speaker 1:And we have our own lives right. Life happens, kids happen, things get in the way and yeah it's, it's a lot exactly so we want to take a vacation.
Speaker 2:K Keebler and T-Bot are on vacations themselves. So what do you do, like? How do you have a meeting, how do you sit there, how do you talk about what you're going to talk about?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:You don't, and so I just, I really just let it go and I didn't really worry about it.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Because we put out a product here on this, saki Timmy, it's great, it's fantastic. I'm sorry If you don't like it, that's your fault, but whatever we're doing, we do it the way we want to. Yeah, and we want to stay consistent and be there for everybody all the time, but we also have lives Right and we can't be upset about not doing this.
Speaker 1:I think everybody we can't be, you know, upset about not doing this.
Speaker 2:I think everybody can't be a burden not a burden, but a uh. This can't be a burden on us, right? We already have other ways of making income. This is just to do for fun right.
Speaker 1:Well, I think everybody must take a vacation.
Speaker 2:I mean tv shows, everybody takes some sort of break I have noticed that in the analytics that it drops off severely during the summer. Oh, really Picks up right after Labor Day there you go. Where people start going back to work and they're like, oh, we got to get this done for the week.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And all of a sudden it jumps up a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, okay, so All right. Well, I do want to put on a podcast, though I want to start turning this podcast. Will you listen to it? On the beach, Right? Yeah, you know what I mean. I want to be just sitting there talking about stuff like oh, the waves are crashing, you guys are all sitting on the beach. I don't know what you're doing. Like, there are people that will grill. There are people that will drag all this food, yeah, to the beach.
Speaker 1:There are people that will just go with a beach chair in a an umbrella. I miss being the beach chair person.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna lie, that was way easier I want to be the guy that you're listening to on the beach, though yeah, so I kind of I kind of want to get there if you're like into talk and stuff like that. I really want to start, as we go ahead with this podcast. I want to start getting into I wouldn't say themes, but topics, I guess. So, because we do these once a week and we put them out there.
Speaker 2:I want it to be what's going on here now and I want you to sit on the beach and listen to one, and it's a beach theme or a summery theme or something like gardening or picking tomatoes, whatever the fuck you want. Oh geez, but something you can actually sit on a beach. And oh yeah, I said that, I said beach and it was sit on the beach and listen to is what I was trying to say, right, so people can hear my voice, kind of like kenny chesney oh my goodness I want to be like kenny chesney well, he's singing songs I want to sing a song.
Speaker 2:I want to. I want a spoken word song. I want a spoken word song spoken word song yeah, so we had a good time on our vacation. We did. I hope all you guys had a good time on our vacation.
Speaker 1:We did.
Speaker 2:I hope all you guys had a good time on your vacation. Sorry, we missed you for three weeks. But let's get back to this and really start kicking butt and taking names. We've got a lot coming up.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:A lot of good stuff coming up and I don't know we just it was tough. It was tough to keep everything together and here we are now putting it back together.
Speaker 1:Yes, we are, and the worst part about vacation what's?
Speaker 2:that is coming home from it yeah I don't know about you. You have a job that you can do on vacation uh, yeah, I guess I see what you mean.
Speaker 1:You mean I don't have to go somewhere to do it. Is that what you're asking?
Speaker 2:yes, okay, I'm like I don't have a job I can do on vacation correct.
Speaker 1:I guess I see what in fact my job interferes with vacation, correct, right?
Speaker 2:yes, that sucks, so I does. I envy you in a way. And how many people in this on this planet are able to go away and still work like that's an amazing thing.
Speaker 1:Yes and no. I mean there's supposed to be a work-life balance. You can't just work all the time.
Speaker 2:There is supposed to be a work-life balance.
Speaker 1:So taking a break from it and, like I told you, my company encourages you to not check emails. I did check my email. I did address a few things. Just that's how my life works and I'm built like that. I don't know, I've just done it for so long, but a lot of companies encourage you to take the time off because you need that sort of break sometimes. I know that yours is a little different. You work for yourself, so it's different but I envy you.
Speaker 2:I envy you because you can do that. I would love to go on vacation and continue to work.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I would, but I have a physical labor job Right, which means I have to be there Correct. There's a lot I still do and can do on vacation.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:But it doesn't get the job done.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's the stuff behind the scenes like permits and insurance.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I hear you Stuff like that Ordering? I wish I could have a direct access to my job, sit there in the morning on a beach with my computer yeah, cup of coffee whack out all my goals for the day, shut it down and hang out with the family and the kids and just have a good time. Yeah, that to me would be a vacation, my vacation. I come home and it's a goddamn shit show. Yeah, it's a shit show, and I have to spend the next three or four days putting everything back together. Right, because I stop for a week and I can't stand it, which makes me resent vacation right, which is unfortunate.
Speaker 2:It's not supposed to be like that yeah, so I don't look forward to going on vacation. I certainly don't look forward to coming home, because I know I have all this now I have to go do all this right and it sucks. It is what it is and it's my life. But that's why how do I say this? That's why I let go of the podcast while I was on vacation. It was work.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And here I am. I sound like a hypocrite now, but I've never had this opportunity and I didn't know how to handle it. So I didn't know how to handle being able to do this podcast, balance work and life and still deal with everything every call I got from back home anyway, right, right. So I was just like screw this, this is too much, this is overwhelming. I'm good. So a good portion of this lapse in not putting out an episode or whatnot was my fault, totally my fault. I Totally my fault. I let it go. And I let it go because I was like screw this.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:There's me too. Do you know what I mean? There's me too.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:I don't have to do everything for everybody all the time.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:I want to and I try to, but guess what? You can't. I ain't good at it. You know what I mean? I'm not good at just like nobody. Nobody's good at it. You can't make everybody happy, no all. You can't make everybody happy all the time. You can make everybody happy. You make certain people happy sometimes, other people happy other times. That's how it works. You're never going to make everyone happy all the time, and so at some point in time you just got to make yourself happy and I gave up. For a little bit. I was like peace, I'll be back.
Speaker 1:I gotta recharge I think it's fine, everybody will forgive you oh, I hope so.
Speaker 2:I hope they do, because it wasn't on purpose and it wasn't, you know, spiteful or just because I didn't want to do anymore it's just you get burnt. We started this podcast right now saying what happened. People were coming looking for me. I didn't. I didn't even know these people now I was away. I'm like hiding. That's what a vacation is supposed to be, and all the entire time, dad out dad out, so annoying it's like holy cow and they found me.
Speaker 2:Somehow they did, which is as annoying as it sounds, and sometimes is it when you sit back and think about it it's amazing. It's amazing that people look at you like that.
Speaker 1:It's true.
Speaker 2:So it's a wonderful thing where these people are knocking on our door 10, 15 at night, trying to meet me and see me when I don't know who they are. It's not something I would want my entire life, but it does kind of put things in perspective. Sometimes it's like, ah, other people want to know who I am. This is it feels good, but it's like, ah, other people want to know who I am. This is it feels good. But it's like you get you, you sit here all day. You're a mom. You know what it's like mom, mom, mom, mama, mama, mama, mommy, mommy, mama, mama, mama, mama.
Speaker 1:Hi, they're not even little anymore, it's still like that, just different requests.
Speaker 2:I do think that I get it twice as much as you do oh boy. Okay, I do, I do. I think that's a fair statement. I think A as a dad, you get it from the kids and the wife, or whatever.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Right, I hear you. I feel like everybody's constantly calling my name and asking for me I feel the same way and then we went on vacation and they were still doing it, which is what my point is here. It's like holy cow. We went on vacation, it still happened and it didn't happen to you.
Speaker 1:Well, from the strangers, everybody else in the house.
Speaker 2:Well, I still get it from everybody else in the house, and you do, and then I get it from people outside the house.
Speaker 1:All right, I hear you.
Speaker 2:That's my point. All of you have the win. Is that really vacation? How do you figure? Oh my God, what?
Speaker 1:I don't know the fame of being you. I don't know how you deal with it.
Speaker 2:There's only one type of person that can handle it Right it's a prophet.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, here we go with that again. I forgot about that for a little bit. I'm a prophet, oh boy Okay. I know what. I'm a prophet, oh boy Okay.
Speaker 2:I know what I'm talking about, I know what's going on and I'm fantastic.
Speaker 1:I'm so glad you think so highly about yourself, because it's really great to have that positivity in your life, because wow, oh, come on, it's funny. It is funny.
Speaker 2:I'm just glad to be back. I'm glad to be back behind the microphones. I'm glad to be back. I'm glad to be back behind the microphones. I'm glad to be back here talking about this stuff. I'm glad we had a good time. We did have a good time we did, we took our kids together for the first time. We took our kids together for the first time away and it was good. We had fun. It was a lot easier.
Speaker 1:I'm still wearing a wristband you apparently are gonna let that rot off your wrist always.
Speaker 2:I never take them off I, it's so weird it even stinks that's gross smells gross. Now I'm gonna leave it to a while it's gotta wash off it's not, it's supposed to wash off it. It never expires. I can go back there tomorrow and go you could mini golfing.
Speaker 1:They didn't mark off all your stuff go back.
Speaker 2:If I watched it enough, I could probably go go-karting again. Oh my God, go-karting. We did that with all the kids and this little fat four-eyed fuck.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:How old?
Speaker 1:do you think this one was?
Speaker 2:I'm going to say 21. Just so I don't get in trouble for calling him a fat four-eyed fuck.
Speaker 1:So what happened he?
Speaker 2:spun me out, uh-huh, because he didn't, because he couldn't see the track. Okay, his glasses obviously came flying off his head and then we all get to the end he's one of those kids I can't believe didn't have a strap around the back to hold him on it's so mean, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1:okay, and we get to the end and I went to all the kids think you missed a lap.
Speaker 2:No, I didn't. Yes, no, I didn't.
Speaker 1:You went in before the rest of us because you spun out.
Speaker 2:I was in first place.
Speaker 1:You were not in first place.
Speaker 2:We all did an extra lap. I was so far in first place that you couldn't even catch me.
Speaker 1:No, because those go-karts you couldn't pass anyone.
Speaker 2:The only way you were passing people for the most part was if somebody spun out If you know how to race, you could easily pass people out. I passed everyone out at least twice. Not only that, at least twice. I was like Bo Jackson on that go-kart Untrue. Bo Jackson won two decathlons without even competing in the final event Because he was so far ahead.
Speaker 1:You know you were not ahead.
Speaker 2:I was way ahead.
Speaker 1:And you know that they think you won only because you spun out.
Speaker 2:I was the first one in.
Speaker 1:You were.
Speaker 2:That means, I win.
Speaker 1:Do as many laps as the rest of us.
Speaker 2:I did. No, you did not, I did. Do you have any evidence to say that I didn't?
Speaker 1:You agreed to it at that day. Do you have any evidence to say that?
Speaker 2:I didn't. You agreed to it at that day. You actually said it? I most certainly did not, but I know what happened.
Speaker 1:You don't know what happened.
Speaker 2:I know where everybody was on the track. Here's what actually happened in that event. Okay, I was the first one into the pit.
Speaker 1:You were.
Speaker 2:I'm not denying that. That means I win Okay.
Speaker 1:That means, I win.
Speaker 2:Okay, overdone, pamptoon.
Speaker 1:We'll let you think that way, because it obviously matters more to you than the rest of us.
Speaker 2:Obviously it's bothering you because you're bringing it up. It doesn't bother me because I won, Right? You're like, what's his name in Seinfeld? Oh God, I can't remember the guy's name.
Speaker 1:I have no idea who you're going to refer me to.
Speaker 2:Jerry chooses not to run Not Dylan Doesn't idea who you're gonna refer me to and jerry chooses not to run uh, not dylan. Uh, doesn't matter, who cares. We are coming to the end. I'm coming to the end of this one. I'm gonna edit this now. I'm gonna put it up for tuesday.
