Transcript

SPEAKER_10 0:00

Here we are. Welcome. Welcome. Day late, dollar short. Yeah. Welcome, number one podcast for people. I am Sliceberg. I am Gator. First thing we do is always introduce the show, kind of. Actually, first thing we do is the mailbag. Well you do the mailbag and then we introduce the show.

unknown 0:17

Right.

SPEAKER_06 0:17

You got to say the name and the name, our names.

SPEAKER_10 0:20

R names.

SPEAKER_06 0:24

I feel like every like literally every podcast always does that. It's like, you know in like regular radio, how they they're like required by law, like by FCC regulations, like every every hour or whatever it is to say the actual official name of the I feel like why do they do that? I don't know. It's required by law. It's like they can't get out of it, no matter what. Like you are listening to, and then they got to say the letters and uh 90.1 WMBT Gainesville. You have to say exactly. Every hour. Right. It's required by law. The FCC requires it. Trevor Burrus, Jr. Should we have to say the name of our podcast every hour? Well, I wonder. See, I don't think the I don't think podcasts are governed by those federal authorities in the same way. So I feel like uh it's like an unspoken rule that you for a podcast, you have to say the name of the podcast and introduce the the people who are on it.

SPEAKER_10 1:14

Trevor Burrus Why do you think they do that? I think they do it so that if you're listening, you know what you're listening to.

SPEAKER_06 1:21

I mean I think it's a podcast. Unlike the radio, it's you you looked it up and you found it on your streaming service of choice and you hit the phone. So we don't need to tell him. We don't even need to tell him that it's number one podcast. Like you look theoretically, you looked it up. Or at least if it came on, you know, because sometimes I'm sure you know uh your streaming platform does this where they'll like, you know, when your pot the thing you play it on purpose is over, they automatically play something else. Yeah. So even if that happens, you could still just look at your phone and like, oh, okay, this is number one podcast for people. Yep.

SPEAKER_10 1:52

Hey? What's up?

unknown 1:54

Hey, can we talk to this?

SPEAKER_10 1:55

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:57

What were we just talking about?

SPEAKER_10 1:58

Anyway, we're just talking about like how we don't really need to introduce podcasts anymore or ourselves.

SPEAKER_06 2:03

If this was like regular old school terrestrial radio, then we would be required by law. But we're not required by law because although I just had a thought, maybe we can get the wombat to play episodes of this podcast on the wombat on the actual radio. Is that wait, is that even possible to play a podcast on the regular on the real radio? Yeah, isn't it possible? Was I the first person that ever just thought of that? I don't think that's ever been done. That's cutting edge.

SPEAKER_10 2:31

No, no, like this American Life is on the radio, it's on NPR stations.

SPEAKER_06 2:34

Like Planet Money is played on NPR stage. Yeah, yeah. I guess I guess I'm not the first person to think of that.

SPEAKER_10 2:41

No, it's it's I don't I don't think that the Wombat wants to play our podcast. I don't think it's good. I like I don't think there's it's enough. Like I think most people hate our podcast, and that's why we don't have a lot of listeners.

SPEAKER_06 2:53

Well they could put it on at like 3 a.m. and no one will hear it, you know, or not no one, but very few people will hear it.

SPEAKER_10 3:00

Well, we are um we're day late. That's my fault. And you know what happens sometimes. Like I'm not thinking last week, like I'll be out of town next week. I'm not you're not even thinking five minutes or not even thinking. I don't even know they'll be here next week. I don't know what my schedule is. But when the when the when the time comes around and I'm like, oh, I'm not gonna be there. And the thing is, people are depending on us, Slicberg.

SPEAKER_06 3:23

Yeah, oh I know. You don't have to tell me, I know.

SPEAKER_10 3:25

People are depending on us, they're waiting for it to come out. You know?

SPEAKER_06 3:28

They want to hear uh they they tune in for the most of all the duos, the musical element of the podcast. They tune in for the sports talk. They tune in for the mailbag, of course. They want to hear their own Yeah. Well what wouldn't you? Mail when you send the election profit makers a a a voice recording, do you want to hear it?

unknown 3:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:48

Well, yeah, so you want to hear it. Because you you're in that in that position yourself, you know? Not that you could send it to them now because they stopped doing the podcast, but theoretically, if they were.

SPEAKER_10 3:57

We're a couple guys, we get together, welcome to we welcome our new listeners and our old listeners, and we get together and we um and we talk about really important stuff. Right. Right? Right. Like, I mean basically that's what we do. Right. Like mostly the people that listen is what we talk about.

SPEAKER_06 4:12

Well, yeah, that's would you agree that that's why the name of the podcast is number one podcast for people? Emphasis on the people is what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't I'm I am curious where that name came from because I thought my memory of it is on the very first episode with you and Amanda, you had you suggested that as a name for the podcast. So you must have you must have been.

SPEAKER_10 4:34

I think you're right. I think it I think I did say how about number one podcast for people, which is the first one. Which I thought was number one podcast.

SPEAKER_06 4:40

It's funny. I like I remember it so well listening to that episode, and I remember thinking, oh, that's a good name for a podcast.

SPEAKER_10 4:45

Yeah. Well, what happened was we decided to be called the um all well, it was just gonna be the Hyundai Syriani, but it kind of got a little it got stretched out to the all-new Hyundai Syriani LX, and then I drew a picture of the Hyundai, and then I had extra room under the Hyundai, and I wrote number one podcast for people. So technically it was part of the artwork, but it all but it kind of got basically it was meant to be. It was meant to be. So that was my neighbor coming. I had to pause for my my neighbor's um he is uh well I've talked about him before. He's from Ukraine, and uh he's 18, he's from Ukraine, he's he's uh you know trying to get out of being in a war against Russia, right? Understandably, and instead he's in Gainesville, Florida, going to Santa Fe and Crunch Fitness and the rock gym. Nice. And he also goes out and does um uh archery. Archery. He does archery in Newbury. He's into archery. So he he he keeps himself busy, but uh he we had got a car when they when they got here, but they didn't know how to drive, so I got this beater car, and they've been driving the car, but it turns out that I'm paying insurance on the car, which is fine, but it's not he's the one driving the car. Right. And that's not it's fine if I have a car and I let him drive it once in a while, right? But if he's gonna be the main driver, it's really his car. It's got his so last uh this last week on Monday, we went in and uh I signed him over to the car. Yeah, I gave him the car. Yeah, because I bought it for him anyway. Yeah, his mom doesn't really drive much, he does most of driving. And um and then he had to get insurance, of course, it's required by law. And I was I was glad because I don't mind paying his insurance, he's paying his insurance now, which is fine. He's making some money, and and uh you know, if you're 18, like I got in the car with him, we were go, I was going to show him I was like, here, we're gonna go to Jiffy Lube and I'm gonna show you how to change the oil, which you know, just kind of drive through the Jiffy Lube. And I could just send him there, but I thought it'd be a good moment for us to bond. Teachable moment. So we do the Jiffy Lube, but on the but we're driving the Jiffy Lube, he's a pretty aggressive driver.

SPEAKER_06 6:56

Like I taught him how to drive. Well, I mean that explains it.

SPEAKER_10 6:59

I taught him how to drive and and and and and he was always a really good driver, and he still is. But since I taught him, like in the last six months or eight months or whatever, since he uh he he's been driving on his own, yeah, he's gotten more aggressive and kind of speeds up. He's going toward a car that stopped and then stops kind of too fast.

SPEAKER_06 7:19

Trevor Burrus, Jr. Right. He wants to uh he's having the true American experience by becoming like a Florida driver. I said to him, it's fine to be aggressive with learning, but don't be aggressive with driving. Trevor Burrus, Jr. That's actually really good advice. Yeah. I wanted to make you know, like poke fun of you, but then after you finished saying it, I was like, oh, yeah, I agree with that.

SPEAKER_10 7:39

So I was I w uh after that drive to the Jivy Loop, I said, look, he's getting the car, I gotta get out of this. I don't want to be responsible. And then I talked to him about it, you know, and I told him, you know, you'd be mellow, like if you get into a if you hit somebody in the behind, it's gonna be your fault. Right. Then your car's gotta get fixed, your insurance is gonna go crazy, it's already gonna be expensive, and I and I'll probably send you home. That's basically what I told him. Look at this kitty here. And so he um He got the car on Monday, today's Friday, and it broke down on him. So he came out of the gym and it wouldn't start, and uh great. He actually I'm pretty proud. He went to got a guy from the gym, helped him jump, jump the car, didn't work. He took the battery out and went to an auto parts store and had it tested, and the battery's fine. Now, I haven't asked him yet, how like did the guy from the gym help you do all that? Like who he probably did. Like, let's take your battery out. Maybe he like watched YouTube videos about it or something. I mean, you can ha but who somebody's got to take him to the gym. I mean, to the to the auto parts store from the gym. That's true because in the same parking lot. Yeah, right. But anyway, he figured all that out and he called me and I said, Okay, well, get the car uh go to your app, your all-state app, and get the car and get roadside assistance. There you go. Yeah. And then get it towed. And I I told him the shop to go to. Well, first I told him the shop on the on 13th, but um, I called the shop to say, hey, the um my my my uh my friend's coming with his car. Maybe you guys I think it needs a starter. That's what I'm thinking it needs as a starter. Yeah. Can you uh can you fix it today? Because sometimes they get in if they go in the morning, they have it on the same day. Yeah. But it's Friday afternoon and something like that. And they're like, well, that Morgan Wallen concert's in town. And they're shutting down the whole town, so we're leaving early. And they're shutting down University Avenue and stuff. I know all about it. So I then I called my other mechanic who's closer to the house, and they work sometimes until eight or nine or even ten at night. So I'm like, hey, can you guys look at the car? I mean, if he doesn't have a car for the weekend, it's not the end of the world. But if they can change the starter today, then do it. And they're like, maybe. And I'm like, all right, maybe it's better than leaving early. Right. We're going to write Wallin. He so when so when I so he was getting the car towed, I was driving into town from the beach, and when I and I looked at him because I can see him on my uh it's called Life 360. Right. I I'm arrived at the shop at the same moment that I'm when I pull it to the shop, they're like unloading his car off the thing. Right. Perfect. Perfect timer. So I brought him home and uh they just called. He would he stopped to tell me that they've already called him and said it's five hundred bucks. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 10:22

I didn't ask for a starter, but I bet it's the starter.

SPEAKER_10 10:25

I bet it's like a couple. I bet it's like I bet a starter's like 150 bucks and they charge 225 and then they put an hour of labor, two hours. Who knows? I don't know. But five hundred starter on the cheapest you're gonna get.

SPEAKER_06 10:39

My last car replaced a starter. But it was you did it yourself. Yeah, I did it myself. It was a few years ago, and I'm trying to remember how much it costs. It wasn't cheap, the part.

SPEAKER_10 10:46

Well, I've done a starter on I've done a starter on my van, my 65 Ford Falcon van, which was three bolts. But I just if I had the time and uh to look into it, maybe I'd say, let's go get a starter at this parts store, let's open your car up, let's take it out, let's look at a YouTube. People have time. People do. I don't right now. But if I did, I would just try to help him do it myself. But you know, I don't know. I'll probably end up having to pay for that. I mean, he he's probably got money, but he doesn't want to sp I don't know what I'm gonna do. He has a job. He works for satchels sometimes, doing some doing some stuff. I don't think he's been working for a while. Okay. And I he can do build websites and do other stuff. And they I don't know what I'll I don't keep.

SPEAKER_06 11:29

All right, well, if you're listening to this podcast and you need a website, he's the guy. He's the guy, and then he can afford to fix his car.

SPEAKER_10 11:35

Yeah. Well, I might help him out, whatever. Anyway, so uh I went to the beach. You went to the beach. And because my son came to town and he's living in Tennessee, and he said, Hey, I want to visit you guys, so he comes to town, but he likes to go to the beach. Of course he does, yeah. So we go to the beach, and then my daughter came to the beach.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

So you had some fans.

SPEAKER_10 11:55

Because she was out of school now, and she's like, Yeah, I'm coming to the beach. She wants to get tan. Of course, yeah. Gotta get the base table. It was me and my wife and the two kids hanging out on the beach, man. We played now, we never could get her to play a game, but we got him, and Caroline didn't want to. She she just tired, she didn't run it, but we ended up playing Yahtzee a couple times. Yeah, that's the best. But not with her, my daughter, but with the three of us playing Yahtzee.

SPEAKER_06 12:16

Yahtzee's the best, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 12:17

Yahtzee's an easy one. Yeah. And anyway, I have a hundred thousand things to do here at home, but I just took I just acted like I didn't have to do him. And then up the then I was like, I gotta get back to do the podcast. Right. They're staying later, and I'm like, she, and then like Sas like, why do you got to get back? And then my wife's like, he's gotta do the broadcast, I think she called it or something. Like Megan Fun. I'm like, hey, people are awake, man. This is something we do, this is a weekly thing. And um, so anyway, here we are. I made it back, and uh we uh you know we've got a small window. Actually, we gotta go pick up your kids here.

SPEAKER_06 12:50

Let's start running errands.

SPEAKER_10 12:51

We've got to run errands, right? Yeah, you can keep talking about you can keep talking on the I'm gonna get some flip-flops. All right, yeah, you too. Um so yeah, sorry we're late. Uh you never know. And then uh, hey, you know, remember last week we talked about um I'm well that I'm going to uh Denver in uh in June. Remember that? So maybe there'll be some mail today from Grummy or from somebody that's gonna meet me in Denver in June. June the 15th or 14th or 15th or something. What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_06 13:32

Yeah, or maybe they're saying they'll say uh don't forget, don't come, stay away.

SPEAKER_10 13:37

No, they're not gonna say that. No, that was a joke. Look at all the look at all the stuff that came while I was gone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 13:44

I like the look at the looks of that litter box though.

SPEAKER_10 13:47

Okay, so somehow my niece got a litter box that's automatic. Have you ever heard of those? You you saw one at my daughter's house one time.

SPEAKER_06 13:56

I was like, what's that space age looking thing? And you were like, oh, that's a litter box.

SPEAKER_10 13:59

I know. So you you get the when the cat goes out, it's got some infrared sensor, and the cat leaves, the whole drum in the middle spins around, dumps out the you keep the litter and it and then the the the dookies and peepees go down and then you pull it. Like unbelievable. It's automatic, like I don't know how it works, but it broke. It lasted about two weeks. And it broke. And it's some company in China, and they don't really want to they don't really want to um fix it. They don't know how to fix it. It's not, it's not meant for, it's not made for that. So they uh basically it's just I just went round and around with them. It was like they weren't doing anything. They would tell me, try this, try that. I'd try it, and then they ghost me. Terrible. And then I call Amazon, they're like, We can't help you. I'm like, well, they're they're not answering me. They say try this, and they say go here. I don't it just went, I went around around on Amazon. Right. This is a $200 deal. So wait, did you buy the same one? No, you bought a different one. I'm fitting to tell you. I'm fit. That's what this whole story is about, is a litter box story. So then I'm on Facebook and there's an ad for the litter box. Right? Same one. I'm like, oh, look at this great litter box. It's by the company. And there's all these um comments. Comments. And some of them are like, oh, I love it, it's great. Uh yeah, it's great. And other people are like, this thing stopped working, whatever. And I'm like, do not buy this. This thing doesn't work. Da-da-da. Like, they won't help me. They've ghosted me. And so then I go to Amazon, I complain to Amazon, don't work with this company. They've stopped, they've ghosted me. They're not responding. They're supposed to be under warranty. I spent $200. My daughter had done all this already. She had already called the company, done everything. She lost hope and gave up. Then I brought it home and I started saying, Well, let me look into it. I just want to get our money back.

unknown 15:56

Right.

SPEAKER_10 15:56

I go round and round for over a month, six weeks. I finally have given up on the thing. Yeah. And I'm like, I call Amazon again to complain and just say, I don't think you should work with this company. And then Amazon's like, we can send them a note, and da-da-da. And then all of a sudden, they finally write me back, which they hadn't done in a while, and they said, Oh, yeah, we want you to send us a picture of the sensors. And I'm like, I clean the sensors, so I have to take a picture and send the sensors. And I'm just like, go around. And then finally they say, Okay, take a picture of the model number. We're gonna we're gonna send you a replacement. Okay. And I'm asking for a refund all this time. Just give me a refund. Right. And there's it's a good thing. And then there's this, so I send them a model number. They send me a replacement. And the thing is, I never thought it would come. I just didn't think it was really gonna happen. I thought that they were gonna honor it. Right? Because I because I they ghosted me a couple times for weeks at a time. Or a month. Right. And I think it was all the complaining to Amazon and stuff, because Amazon's also texting them on our Amazon sent them a note, a strongly worded note. Two strongly worded notes. And and I told them that, and then Amazon said on there, I made Amazon say, like, the customer wants to report you as a, you know, report this this company, da-da-da. So then what I'd write them, I'd say stuff like, because I know the guy's name is Jerry. Okay. Well, his name's not Jerry, that's his American name. He's writing me from China. And a lot of times it just seems like it's not even written, and it's like used AI to write it. Right. I said, Jerry. I'm I've got a connection at Amazon, and they said if you don't honor this warranty, that they can take you off of their site. Right. That's that's the worst thing that could happen. Now, I don't like Jerry doesn't maybe Jerry thinks we're all friends with Jeff Bezos over here and that we have connections with Amazon or whatever.

SPEAKER_06 17:44

I don't know. Well you just had a connection. You didn't the connection might be like the the bot that you're chatting with.

SPEAKER_10 17:49

Well, all I know is that as soon as I said that, that's when I finally got my root my my new ones. That's not surprised. Then we got an email that said from the company that said, we're so sorry. We want to give you uh we want to give you a refund. We want to give you another now now. Then Jerry said, here's the tracking, and it's he's sending me one. I'm like, okay, cool. I'm done with that. Thank you. Then we get a different email from the company, or I don't even know if it was a company, some weird. And they say, We're gonna send, we were so sorry this happened, we're gonna send you an another one, we're gonna refund your money. Nice, and we're gonna give you a hundred dollars. Oh, you're you're making money on the deal. No, I'm like, first, they said we need your PayPal. We need your PayPal, a name, and then we need the the order number. Well, I looked out, I said, shh Caroline's like, what are we doing about this? I'm like, I don't think I think this is a scam, but I don't know. I said, first of all, here's my order number. Right. Second of all, I'll give them my PayPal. Then it's not like if I give them my PayPal, they can take money out of my PayPal because the password or give them my PayPal. Right, yeah. So then they said, okay, look in the next one to three days. So maybe all this, you know, scaring them worked. Yeah. I don't know if I'm gonna, I don't, I don't know if I'm gonna get the hundred bucks. But they had already sent me one, so I don't know if they knew they sent me one or if they're sending me another one, or if they're getting my money back, or they're giving me the hundred bucks. All I know is while I was at the beach, it arrived. And my daughter's very happy. She's back to like a normal tender box or she has a change. And then maybe And here's the thing I think the way these things work is probably 80% of them work pretty well for a while. Yeah. You just happen to get the whack out of bum when it, you know, and when you go now and look at the thing, it says, oh, there's a new item that's replaced the old item. Like they're they're still supposedly they fixed the. I mean, a a self-cleaning litter box, it's not like it's been around for 20 years. It's kind of a new thing. I would think so. Yeah. And nobody needs that. That's ridiculous. I didn't even know that my daughter had one. I think that my wife bought it for her for Christmas or something. Anyway, I was I got that back. And then I got a renter, and he said, Can you get me a new fridge? He said, The fridge cools nicely, but their bottom shelf is broken, and two of these like bars on the door are broken. I said, Send me a picture. He sends me a picture, there's duct tape on the bars on the door, and the bottom door. And I just said, and I'm, you know, I look for a fridge, and the fridge is gonna be a thousand bucks. At least, yeah. And I'm like, let me just get him a new shelf and a new bars, which I looked up. It cost me 50 bucks. Those arrived. Oh, okay. The new bars for the door and the new shelf for the bottom. I had to measure and made sure I had the right one. Right. I said I couldn't even get the model number. The fridge is so old the model number is worn off. But I knew it was a Maytag or a Whirlpool. Anyway, so that's sitting there and I gotta deliver that to the guy. He's gonna he's gonna get like his fridge all upgraded. Nice. And I saved the um $950 there.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Yeah, not too much.

SPEAKER_10 20:50

I'm probably gonna make some money on this litter box thing. Yeah, you're coming out ahead. And then there was the time, this makes me think of another time, which doesn't really the fridge story doesn't have much to do with it, but it does have more to do with the story of me telling Jerry that that Amazon was gonna um stop and discontinue their uh item. The other story is the time that I bought some tickets to my my daughter wanted to see some show at the, you know, some concert, and I bought tickets at the wrong place. Oh no. And then it turns out that they they were it was like a scam, you know, that there was they weren't gonna be real tickets. Like when I looked it up, like I never got the tickets. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 21:31

So it didn't matter that you bought them to the wrong place because they were fake anyways.

SPEAKER_10 21:35

Yeah, they didn't work out. And so, I mean, I think they sold some real tickets, and then some you just they I just never got them. Okay, yeah. And I was and I looked into it and I realized I've been scammed, and so I started writing to them, and I told them I I just made up that I on the name of a lawyer. And I was like, I represent this client, and I'm a lawyer, and uh I and then my my client. Has unlimited funds to handle this situation and that we are going to get our money back. He said he wants to get his money back even if it cost him $10,000. He's gonna, he's gonna sue you. And you're gonna pay for the whatever. I just want a very strongly worded letter from an attorney that I was not from. And if they had any sense, they would have looked and seen that the email, that the email that it's coming from is not like so-and-so law. It was just like my name or whatever. And I got the money back right away after I sent that letter. And it made my daughter very proud that I had like pretended to be a lawyer and made my money back. Anyway, I do I just I don't like to be scammed. You know that. Well, who does, right?

SPEAKER_01 22:42

I don't want to be scammed. Who does? Yeah, I don't I just think that people shouldn't scam people. No, of course they shouldn't. Of course they shouldn't. It's bad etiquette.

SPEAKER_10 22:52

So so where are we going, Slice Bird? We're going to pick up your daughters. We're going to pick your daughters.

SPEAKER_06 22:57

My yes. My uh my progeny, my offspring were going to their school to pick them up. That's exactly right.

SPEAKER_10 23:04

Well, um, let's do a um, can we do a duo while you're driving?

SPEAKER_06 23:08

Oh my god. How did I drive a player recording? Okay, yes, I can do it. I'll drive care of my knees. All right.

SPEAKER_10 23:16

Because everybody's right now thinking, like, okay, well, I'm glad that they're at least released an episode this week. Right. Maybe a day late, but that's okay. It might be late, but at least they wouldn't want to. But what we really want is the duos. It's the duos. We want the music, the sweet, sweet music. And once we get pick up your kids, they're not gonna really be into it. No, certainly not. They're not gonna be into the music, but we're gonna play it in front of them anyway to get their reactions. Right, yeah, they're gonna love it. But this will be the first, this will be the um opening, this will be like the um opening song. Opening theme. Yeah, this is our theme song. Let's do the one that we practice. Okay. It's great. I think it's really good.

SPEAKER_06 24:35

I think the twelve twenty-seven people who listen to it really, really get into it and they they realize how good it is. How phenomenal, how cutting edge it is.

SPEAKER_10 24:46

I think that I think it's better than most because one of the things that I do a lot when I'm listening to podcasts, I think you should let this um person go crossing the bike, this young person. You're probably right. Um I think one of the things that I do a lot when I'm listening to podcasts, I go fast forwarding through ads a lot of times. Do you ever do that? Oh, yeah. You ever fast forward through the ads? Yeah, sure I do. Sure. Do you have yours going forward like 30 seconds? Right. So you're 30 seconds, 30 seconds, 30 seconds. Sometimes it's three minutes forwards. It's like a podcast. It's not acceptable. And then you're still hearing half the ads or you're missing half the content. Like, we just skip that whole part of it.

SPEAKER_06 25:25

Yeah. I mean you can fast forward if you want, but it's not going to be ads, it'll be you're missing probably some of the best stuff ever you've ever heard. Some great uh material.

SPEAKER_10 25:33

Yeah, really great material. So that's one of the things I think that makes us so special. Right. Yeah. One of the many things. And the other thing is, like, we're like, I've just come home from the beach for this, and what did I do? And what are we doing? We're going to pick up your kids. Like, what like we're just this is our life. You know, this is real life.

SPEAKER_06 25:53

Real life. We're not trying to pretend like it's not Instagram. No, it certainly isn't. But we do have an Instagram.

SPEAKER_10 25:59

But speaking of Instagram, we have one of the greatest Instagrams of all time. Oh, absolutely. We put pictures up there that you would never see on a normal Instagram. Right. You took a picture of my cat already. I certainly did. That's because he was super cute. I couldn't resist. Well, he seems pretty, pretty mellow. Like when we leave town, they might be mad, but we had somebody house sit. There you go. And so I think that then they don't even realize we're gone. I don't even think he knows the difference between the house sitter and me, honestly. He acted like he didn't even care to see me that much. He's hissing at me and stuff. I saw that. So this is how far away you park?

SPEAKER_06 26:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 26:37

It's like a five.

SPEAKER_06 26:38

Uh probably not. But you see, I'm I'm I'm strategic about it, right? Like I never park there because it's got the toeaway zone. Okay. Sometimes I'll park here in this dirt lot, but this woman is standing here, so I don't know. Right. Or that woman you think is there to like catch you. No, no. These all say reserve. Well, there are some that don't. And guess what? That's where I'm. Because you're gonna be a guest. Right. I'm gonna be a guest. We're gonna I like sometimes I like to get these shady ones over here. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 27:04

They're shaded. That guy's looking at us from spoochies.

SPEAKER_06 27:09

Yeah, but it does. Look, you can barely see it. I don't think in that first one's had anything. Yeah, the first one. But this one doesn't. It does too. Alright, hold on.

SPEAKER_10 27:17

I think you're all right. This one does.

SPEAKER_06 27:19

Yeah, no, I usually actually I like that spot by the dumpster. That's my normal part.

SPEAKER_10 27:23

We're only like 30 minutes of walk away. I think don't forget your microphone. Oh, I can't because that's that's why we're here. The whole reason we're here. I forgot my hat, man. I'm gonna get burned on the top of my head. I got a hat boy. You got a hat?

unknown 27:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 27:40

Oh, so so there's the Denver trip, right? Right. And and uh in the 12th through the 15th, um, Gator's gonna be in uh in Denver. And you know, if anybody's in Denver or we we and they haven't written us, but we'll see what happens. We get to the mail back. But uh hopefully there'll be like a chance to um go go out to a diner and or get some, you know, go go to a diner or I love that idea. Do something with maybe get some breakfast with grummy or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 28:07

Oh that sounds so good. Grummy Denver. I would get like eggs over easy. I think some rye toast, some bacon.

SPEAKER_10 28:13

Maybe hash browns?

SPEAKER_06 28:14

Absolutely hash browns.

SPEAKER_10 28:15

You think they have grits there?

SPEAKER_06 28:16

I bet they don't have grits. You know what? I bet they don't. I bet they don't. I bet they don't. But grummy, let us know if you can order grits at a diner in Denver.

SPEAKER_10 28:25

So there's another trip that's been planned since last week, and this time both of us are going. Right. That's that's gonna be a fun trip. I gotta say, I am. I bought tickets, I bought tickets, I bought a rental car, I bought an Airbnb, I bought flight tickets, I bought everything this last week. It's a work trip because we gotta go um just uh well it's business. It's all business. It's all business. We gotta go eat pizza. Right. Well, what's what's our business? Pizza. Pizza. And uh we are going to Fort Worth, Texas. You better believe it.

SPEAKER_06 29:00

Now, do we know anybody in Fort Worth, Texas? Well, we know somebody in Greater Dallas, but I don't think they live in Fort Worth.

SPEAKER_10 29:07

But Dallas. Fort Worth is all one area, right?

SPEAKER_06 29:12

Well, there's probably I bet some people, you know, some Texans might, you know, argue the final. Right, right, right. But to outsiders like us, yes, it is.

SPEAKER_10 29:22

And so is it is it um is it uh Eleanor? Does she maybe live in Dallas? Yeah, you know what? I think I think she does. Does she?

SPEAKER_06 29:40

Yeah, I think she does. And with Paul. Yeah, I think is it just the two of them or is there well they it's them and their and their offspring, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 29:47

Right, right, right, right. So so there might be a chance to to see them in in in Texas. Maybe we could go to a diner. Oh, I would get barbecue there. Oh, yeah, true. Maybe they could take us to their favorite barbecue or your diner?

SPEAKER_06 30:03

Or what about the same uh Thai restaurant that they went where uh Grummy got pad thai? That would be a fun, fun field trip. Maybe the place isn't there anymore. I don't know. I just I just probably I just want Thai food, really. I kind of want I want to find what's their favorite pizza.

SPEAKER_10 30:19

Oh, definitely, yeah. Do you think Eleanor and Paul and the kids would want to meet us? And and uh so when are we going? We're going in. We have August.

SPEAKER_06 30:30

August 2020 something.

SPEAKER_10 30:34

We arrive on the evening of August the 27th, which is a Thursday. We're going to a concert on Friday night. That's right. Charlie Crockett and the Weary Boys. That's right. Or the Weary Boys and Charlie Crockett at the Billy Bobs. That's right, Billy Bobs, Texas. Yeah. And then we're gonna be there. That's 27, 28, 29, 30. 30. We're coming back Monday, right? Yeah. August the 27th through the 31st. That's when we're gonna be in Fort Worth, Texas. That's right. Anybody in the surrounding area that wants to meet up. Right, we have a meetup. We can have a meetup if anybody's able to go to because I think Emmy was talking about at the end of August going to Denver. Uh so we might well she's not gonna go.

SPEAKER_06 31:24

They'll probably be in Denver those days, I think.

SPEAKER_10 31:26

Oh, and Eleanor might be it's around there in Denver too.

SPEAKER_06 31:29

Well, I don't think that they maybe didn't say they were going. Maybe they are.

SPEAKER_00 31:33

Well, but see now, see, hopefully today we'll get some feedback on the Denver situation, and then next week we can get some feedback on the Fort Worth.

SPEAKER_06 31:44

Situation, yes, right? Yeah, we'll just check the mail back.

SPEAKER_10 31:47

All right, because we just you know, we're kind of traveling guys, you know, we do some traveling and we like to catch up because it's for real. I feel like I feel like the Babcocks are some of my best friends right now.

SPEAKER_06 31:59

Yeah, it's funny. We've uh we've forged this um connection through uh through podcasting. So, but you know, I maybe who knows, like maybe in real life it's uh it'll be different, but probably not. Probably not. They they feel like family to me.

SPEAKER_10 32:16

Yeah. Well, I'm I forgot to turn off my phone. Sorry about that. My ringer. And uh so yeah, what what we do is um Sliceberg here, he he parks about three miles away from his kid's school so he doesn't have to sit in the pickup line. Which, if in your pickup line, you got your air conditioner on, right? You got your radio going. What's the big deal? You're sitting there looking at your phone, right?

SPEAKER_06 32:38

Okay, the the air conditioner, the phone, like that's all plus pluses. But the minuses far outweigh any pluses that you can use. What are the minuses? Okay, the minuses are um uh okay, just the traffic. Look at those two broncos, exact same color next to each other. That's weird. The same exact model, same exact color, would be part of the colour. Right next to each other. That's I think it's like one in a two.

SPEAKER_09 33:03

It's a weird color too. It's a blue. Yeah, what would you do?

SPEAKER_06 33:05

All right, so so the n minuses of car pickup. Okay, right. So the minuses are the psychological impact, the minuses are the the negative impact it has on my mental health. Uh-huh. And what but what is but why is that? Like why so why is that? It's because you are dealing with asshole parents who do not observe the um the procedures and the standards of the that are established, right? So let me give you a concrete example of what I'm talking about. Uh there's a line, there's a well-defined line of cars, you know? Yeah. Some parents will ignore the line and just pull up in front and cut the line. They'll go to they'll cut to the front of the line, they won't get in the end. And then you're mad at them. I'm mad at them because I think that's rude. And then what they do is there it the there's like two lanes. There's like the lane that's like next to the curb, which obviously you pick your kid up, and then there's a lane to the left of that, which is like going around. Going around. You got your kid, you're leaving. So see, so asshole parents, for example, they'll pick up their kid from the going around lane. Oh. And they'll block traffic while they're waiting on their kid. And that makes you mad. Oh, it makes me irrate. It makes me like I I'm filled with murderous rage just like talking about it.

SPEAKER_10 34:20

So see, and in the beginning, a lot of people might have thought that you were the mellow one and I was the a keyed up one. But actually, when we get down and drill down into it, you're the keyed up one. Turns out I'm turns out I'm the keyed up one. Yeah, let's not even start talking about um the health system in America. Oh no, certainly, certainly not. Okay. So what else? What else? So we got the parents doing the wrong thing.

SPEAKER_06 34:41

Right. Um, and then you got like uh so okay, well, I can't point it out because the there's not cars there right now, but the normally the line, if we were here like 10 minutes ago, you would see that the line extends onto the street here.

SPEAKER_09 34:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 34:55

So it's just, you know, it's a residential street. You see, there's these houses here. These the parents will uh in the line, they won't they'll block the the driveways of the houses, they won't like stop before. So like you live in this house and you try to come home and um you know, you can't. But you wouldn't do that. Of course I wouldn't do that. This line looks very order orderly to me right now. I think it's because oh, there she is. Hey Georgia. Uh well, I I don't know why that is. I think we got here a little later than normal or something, but or maybe it's like there's a field trip that happens sometimes where like half the school isn't here because it's like a field trip. Yeah, it could be that. Hey Georgia. Hey hi, how's it going? Hi, happy Friday.

SPEAKER_10 35:39

Thank you. We're doing a podcast right now. We're gonna go. Do you have anything to say? Did you know that your dad hates the like pickup line? Yeah, that's why he walks. He makes you walk about 15 miles. Did you ever say, like, we could just walk home, Dad?

SPEAKER_12 35:54

Well, the thing that mom does is she doesn't park in the parking lot over there. I think you forget that you can't.

SPEAKER_06 35:58

Which is a good example of asshole parenting because they tell you don't park over there. But they do it anyway.

SPEAKER_10 36:03

But they do it anyway.

SPEAKER_06 36:03

But that but but that's you she's talking about in the student parking lot. Her mother, which is your wife. Right, asshole parent.

SPEAKER_12 36:10

The new one that you're allowed to park.

SPEAKER_06 36:11

What do you mean the new one? What new one?

SPEAKER_12 36:13

But our field, yeah, yeah, they turned our field into a parking lot.

SPEAKER_06 36:16

Oh, you could park in the field. Okay, I didn't know. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were talking about the field. I thought you meant like in the spots right here. Well, you why don't you just park in the field? It's just as far away. Well, I didn't know. I didn't know I even couldn't tell you.

SPEAKER_10 36:28

So why are you done and Betsy's not done?

SPEAKER_12 36:30

SPEAKER_06 36:38

Yeah, what time does Betsy get up to school?

SPEAKER_12 36:39

SPEAKER_06 36:40

I mean, I know it's hard to understand when your dad and and and and your um favorite other adult is like really big into podcasting, but like we're really big, and like there's like at least 25 people out there that love our podcast. Maybe 27.

SPEAKER_11 40:27

SPEAKER_10 40:29

27 people.

SPEAKER_00 40:32

SPEAKER_10 40:40

And then, you know, slowly creeps up from the lag lager behind or number one podcast for 27 people. Number one podcast. Yeah. I think there's people like Wells. I'm guessing there's people like Wells and other. They just kind of like they're not keeping up. Right. They're not like because it's so timeless, they can listen like they can be yeah, they can be listened three weeks behind, and it's fine.

SPEAKER_05 41:07

And I would always listen to this band on their MySpace page. I was and I was reminiscing nostalgically about those days of MySpace was before Facebook. Yeah.

So I gotta I You still haven't listened. Instead of pretending it's like five minutes. I know, instead of for two minutes, like I listened to it. I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna just say that I didn't listen to it.

And I think that there's three different sections. There's the first part of the playoffs, the second part, and the third part, right? Yeah. They're all on different platforms. Oh, I see what you're saying. She finished with the second part of the playoffs, and then it went over from it for it went from YouTube to like Paramount Plus. Right. And she's like, I'm like, what are you gonna do? She's like, I'm not gonna watch them. Yeah, it's just like you want to get Paramount? She said, no, hell no, I'm not getting Paramount Plus. That's the kind of smart woman I'm married to. That's right. Yeah, I love it. She's not about to just go get Paramount. But is that wrong? What isn't that wrong to just switch platforms in the middle of the playoffs? Yes, it's wrong. Like, we're supposed to have three different subscription services to watch the playoffs? Absolutely not. This is sports talk, y'all. We should not have to do that. I mean, I don't care. Yeah. I don't care that much.

SPEAKER_06 46:09

Did you even know that? About the streaming platforms? Yeah. No, because I've never once tried to watch an NBA playoff game. So I wasn't.

SPEAKER_10 46:16

Did you know that that did you know that the Knicks beat the 76ers? 4-0? What? Now I do because you said so.

SPEAKER_00 46:23

Did you know that Oklahoma City was is is probably swept whoever they were playing? I think I had no idea. I think they did.

SPEAKER_06 46:32

Anyway. Anyway, so much.

SPEAKER_10 46:33

That's all the that's the sports talk that I know about. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 46:37

I don't know. What about maybe we should talk about Morgan Wallen?

SPEAKER_10 46:40

Morgan Wallen? So Kata, my daughter, said she likes Morgan Wallen. She said it was $1,000 to go to the show. I believe it. It's in a stadium. There's more people than in a football game, and it's two nights. That's $100,000 each night.

SPEAKER_06 46:58

Florida Field is the biggest football stadium in the state of Florida. Did you know that?

SPEAKER_10 47:04

I know it now. And he's doing two nights, and people are and she says $1,000. Is that true? I think so, yeah. I think so. Let's see, Betsy. They're shutting. They're shutting down the town. I wonder how busy we're gonna be at the restaurant. Well, we were there was talk of that in the kitchen. They thought it's gonna be busy, or well, it's not gonna be busy because they're all gonna be the concert. I prepped extra cheese because of the more going on.

SPEAKER_06 47:28

Oh goodness, I didn't even know you did the cheese prep. Well, I do it now because Sean is uh you know recovering. Is he how's he doing? He seems to be doing pretty good. Like uh like that's the only like I do he's still doing everything he used to do except for the cheese and mushrooms, and I do that. But if obviously once he gets you know feeling better, he'll probably take it take that back over.

SPEAKER_10 47:47

Who are you waving at over there, Georgia?

SPEAKER_02 47:50

My sister.

SPEAKER_10 47:50

Where is she now? Oh, there she is. Are we walking? Yep.

SPEAKER_02 47:54

I I just heard her say, um, why is that?

SPEAKER_00 47:58

You Matt, you saw her say that?

SPEAKER_06 48:00

But he's gonna be satchel. Oh, she's gotta talk to other people. You know how it is in in middle school, it's like very um social. A lot of social engagements, a lot of people look so old now. How do you think I feel?

SPEAKER_10 48:17

How old is she?

SPEAKER_06 48:18

13.

SPEAKER_10 48:18

But I haven't I don't see her that much. Betsy, you really are looking old in that in that cable sweater. Hey, we're doing a podcast right now, so it's like we're like, I don't know, me and your dad are like pretty popular in the podcast world.

SPEAKER_05 48:31

Pretty popular, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 48:33

And so you might say we're what the podcast today, we're like running late. We're supposed to do it yesterday, we said do it today. So part of it is just picking y'all up, and then I'm learning that he parks like 15 miles away from your show.

SPEAKER_03 48:43

It's horrible. It's it's actually.

SPEAKER_10 48:45

And he's really mad about the pickup, the car pickup, which seems really simple with air conditioning and music and everything.

SPEAKER_03 48:51

He gets air conditioning, and I have to walk in like whatever outfit sometimes I wear outfits that are not good for the weather, and then I have to do it. No, no, no. Today is fine. Usually I wear like jeans and like long screen t-shirts. Like that's when it's bad.

SPEAKER_06 49:02

But like but but isn't it good to like get a little exercise? Nature blood flow.

SPEAKER_03 49:08

No, what nature? There's no nature.

SPEAKER_10 49:10

There's a tree over there. Yeah, nice magnolia. Um, so when he said let's go, and he said, Let's this is how I do it, I I've kind of been giving him a hard time about parking so far. I'm like, why do you park like 15 miles away?

SPEAKER_03 49:23

Yeah, it's a good question.

SPEAKER_10 49:26

And then when I said, What's so bad about the car pickup? You know what he said about the car pickup that he doesn't like?

SPEAKER_05 49:34

What?

SPEAKER_10 49:35

Some of the parents will drive in the left lane and go pick up their kids around like they'll skip in line. Yeah. And that makes him super mad.

SPEAKER_06 49:44

I would obviously never do that.

SPEAKER_00 49:50

So, did you get into any fights today, Betsy?

SPEAKER_03 49:53

No, I didn't. Oh, shoot. This is the microphone to go with the buttons.

SPEAKER_06 49:59

Oh, is it? Oh, it's the podcast for the politics.

SPEAKER_03 50:04

What are we supposed to do? Stop talking on the podcast.

SPEAKER_10 50:07

Okay, we're gonna pretend. Stop. I'm just holding the phone over the back. Absolutely doing it.

SPEAKER_09 50:12

Yo, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_10 50:14

We're absolutely so cool right now. Actually, the fact that we do the podcast is really cool. It's like movie process. I mean, I think if if the kids around here knew about it, it would be blown up right now.

SPEAKER_06 50:27

Right, we would have like 29 listeners every week instead of 27. I think we should walk faster.

SPEAKER_03 50:36

Oh, what a carry my backpack. What a truck. Thanks.

SPEAKER_10 50:41

Do you want me to carry your backpack?

SPEAKER_03 50:44

She's in fifth grade, she'll have like a million things.

SPEAKER_06 50:46

Hey, look, do you see that car right there? That Ford Bronco? When we walked by her, there was another Ford Bronco.

SPEAKER_03 50:52

I can't see it.

SPEAKER_06 50:52

The exact same color as that one. Exactly. Identical. Same year, same color, same thing as part of the mission.

SPEAKER_03 50:57

Well, that's good. What are the changes? I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 51:00

Well, I don't know. One in ten billion.

SPEAKER_03 51:03

I don't know.

SPEAKER_10 51:05

One in a hundred billion? So this where's the field that you can park in?

SPEAKER_04 51:12

So why don't you just do that? I know. I didn't have to do that. We just learned that.

SPEAKER_11 51:17

No, we haven't. I mean if we actually cut that off.

SPEAKER_06 51:21

No, but see, the downside of that is we would be stuck in this big line out. That's true. That was true.

SPEAKER_10 51:26

Where's if you park illegally in a um department colour?

SPEAKER_03 51:29

Can I just e-bike to school, please? Just let me e-bike to school, please.

SPEAKER_10 51:34

Uh with it.

SPEAKER_03 51:38

I have an e bike.

SPEAKER_10 51:39

I have an e-bike that I can give her, but she's gonna need to get a helmet.

SPEAKER_06 51:43

I will get a helmet. And we have to have like some serious like uh it's kind of like a motorcycle, actually. I don't know. We really don't want her on that. How? I don't know. Because it's a bike. Because you can go fast.

SPEAKER_05 51:56

One time I wrote it. I want an Alex's microphone.

SPEAKER_06 52:01

You drove it? Or you just like drove it on it?

SPEAKER_03 52:03

I've run on the back.

SPEAKER_06 52:04

Well, that's different. You gotta learn how to uh pilot it to happen it.

SPEAKER_03 52:08

Yeah, I guess. It's kind of it's just like a like a bike though.

SPEAKER_06 52:12

Hey, what's up with Morgan Wallen, y'all? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:14

No, I'm not gonna I'm I'm mad that Morgan Wallen is performing great. Everyone's talking about it.

SPEAKER_10 52:19

Oh I know. Is it expensive?

SPEAKER_03 52:20

Probably.

SPEAKER_10 52:22

Cata said it was a thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_03 52:24

Yeah, one of the surprise. I mean, since isn't it tomorrow?

SPEAKER_10 52:28

It's today and tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03 52:30

He's performing two times in the same place.

SPEAKER_10 52:33

In a place that holds like five million hundred thousand people.

SPEAKER_06 52:38

So, okay, so uh about I want to say four or five years ago, there was another concert. Was the last time there was a concert in Florida Fields? Do you remember who that was? No, Garth Brooks. Oh yeah. And it was so loud that I could clearly hear it from our house. No, no, I'm not like I could almost sing along, like that's how good I could hear it. It was so loud. And then guess what? Do you know when the so that was like so that was probably 2022 or 2011, something like that. The last time there was a concert at Florida Field before that was in like 1994. The Rolling Stones.

SPEAKER_11 53:13

Oh wait, is Garflocks the guy that got his sweat on you?

SPEAKER_06 53:18

No, that's pretty sinking. Um, wait, what's the yo, why is Morgan Wallen I told you because it costs a thousand they make like a million dollars, they make like millions of dollars because people are paying like a thousand dollars a ticket. There's like 98,000 seats in the stadium. Because they like his music.

SPEAKER_10 53:37

They like his music. I've got people staying at my Airbnb that are going to see Morgan Wallen.

SPEAKER_06 53:42

Nice. Morgan Wallen, y'all. You know what? Like, who even is Morgan Wallen? Well, we can listen to him on the way home if we want to. Uh we should. We should do that. I mean, I kind of like don't want to do that, but we should do that.

SPEAKER_10 53:56

Does your phone hook up to your car? It does. So you can play a little Morgan Wallen song as part of our drive home. Yeah. Because I think at this point the podcast is getting a little bit like boring. We gotta do some Morgan Wallin. I mean, there's a lot of walking. Like when you when you park this far away from your kids' school, it's basically like we're walking to your kids' school. These kids are walking.

SPEAKER_03 54:18

Yo, they're walking assignments house.

SPEAKER_06 54:19

Right, which is farther than where we got.

SPEAKER_03 54:22

Barely? Yeah, it's like right then. How much more did they even have?

SPEAKER_08 54:36

Minimum wage is up like four feet now. I don't know. Interview them right now for the podcast.

SPEAKER_06 54:46

I wish uh I just said I wish I could. Classic team is a good one. We could bottle that up. Yeah, classic team daughter looked at the city. Yeah, because for cars. Look, there's a car coming, so let's go.

SPEAKER_10 54:59

The thing is that dads are the most embarrassing thing. Even still, my daughter's 21, and I'm embarrassing her.

SPEAKER_06 55:05

You're probably embarrassing her more now than you ever did before.

SPEAKER_10 55:09

Uh no. 13 would have been the worst. Nothing's worse than 13.

SPEAKER_06 55:14

Betsy, how old are you? All right, so bad. Next five-minute walk.

SPEAKER_10 55:23

What is it? Five minutes? We can we can actually time it on the podcast now.

SPEAKER_02 55:28

Oh that's good.

SPEAKER_10 55:35

Six, seven minutes. Don't do this again. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_03 55:44

Don't do it like that.

SPEAKER_10 55:45

Look, we're we're we're not gonna we're not gonna do the podcast again when we pick you up. This is like a one-time thing where we really get to live a little bit of Sliceberg's life. Sliceberg here. Slicberg here is like he's like, he's basically the star of the show. You know, you can say that. He's the star of the podcast. You can say that.

SPEAKER_09 56:09

One of the things that we do sometimes when we play sweet, sweet music, y'all. We should play a duo.

SPEAKER_05 56:14

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 56:52

Pretty good, right?

SPEAKER_10 56:58

Now we're um we're gonna get to the mailbag because we always start with the mailbag. Right.

SPEAKER_08 57:05

We're finishing out the introduction. And this is a Morgan Wallin song.

SPEAKER_06 57:20

Yeah, I mean, I guess I've never liked Morgan Wallin, because I think I've heard his name. But I certainly don't know. Uh like so this is the first song here on um Spotify has a billion plays. More than a billion plays. A billion? Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 57:42

What?

SPEAKER_01 57:47

Oh, it's oh it's uh the song with Post Malone. Uh we just okay, this is it? Well, yeah, this is his collab with Post Malone. I'm his country out.

SPEAKER_03 57:57

Collab?

SPEAKER_10 57:59

Oh, collab. That's what the old guys call it. This is him?

SPEAKER_04 58:05

Don't they know? He won't make a thousand dollars to listen to this.

SPEAKER_06 58:09

Wait, is this Post Malone or Morga Walla though? Just listen to more gamala. Wait, well that's because that's because I it was the first one. Here we go. Then I don't even know who I'm listening to.

SPEAKER_10 58:21

This is this is a more okay. Here we go, y'all. Let's get into it. Is there anybody who paid a thousand dollars?

SPEAKER_04 58:31

Yeah. Actually, I think I would follow I wouldn't pay a full people.

SPEAKER_06 58:40

You just You just pulled straight out in front of that person. Well, this traffic was stopped. He had to stop anyway.

SPEAKER_01 58:47

He was stopping whether I've got it sounds like a woman.

SPEAKER_06 58:52

Well, it's cause all it's because all these collabs.

SPEAKER_10 58:54

I don't want the collabs. I'm trying to find like can Morgan Wallen write a song by him.

SPEAKER_06 58:59

This is just Morgan Wallen.

SPEAKER_08 59:01

I'm the problem. I think it's the problem tour. I think I'm the problem tour. Yeah, it is the problem.

SPEAKER_11 59:08

Guess what?

SPEAKER_01 59:20

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 59:32

Yes, it's too.

SPEAKER_10 59:42

I think I did see this as I'm the problem tour. So this must be his big hit. Sure he has more than me free. So the podcast isn't always like this sometimes. This I got this sucks. I'm not gonna listen. I'm not gonna keep listening to that. Alright. I was it can we turn to uh I guess we're good. That's good. Let's um let's do the mailbag. Let's do the mailbag.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:25

You gotta switch, you gotta do it.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:33

Mailbag.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:34

We always do that first on the podcast.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:58

Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:59

Oh god, it's like an upper rate one.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:01

Okay. Alright, let's go.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:02

Emmy Lou, Emmy Lou Babcock right into us. A disclosure about the washer. I've been wondering about this washer. Yeah, did Shell Dog's dad fix it or what? The washer leaked when we moved in, and Shell Dog and his dad already replaced a part. He has initiated the troubleshooting process and he wants to rule out the part he replaced. He said it was a huge pain in the ass. Sorry, kids. That's not a word you're supposed to be using. You would say butt in that case. It's pain in the butt. Dr. Vaughn definitely isn't going to check that website without telling me, without me telling him about it. I'll get him set up on the iPad before I go to work tomorrow. He'll be into it. Alright.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:52

Ridgegate is a planned community in Lone Tree. It's very deep in the burbs. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:58

You can go to the fancy mall and to Bojo's for Colorado style pizza. I hope your sister enjoyed the May snowstorm. I think she was pretty excited when she got there and it was snowing, and it snowed. And she was like, wow, it's cool.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:14

She took a picture of snow.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:16

She was excited because she likes the cold.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:17

Coming from Florida, that's quite exciting. And I knew that she wanted to be out in the burp.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:21

What she wants is like a fancy little apartment complex near shopping. Right. It's all she really cares about. Right. And uh and good weather. So, yes, I knew that she was out there. Uh, I've seen Flaming Flaming Lips live stone sober a couple times. Not really a jam band, but they're a drugs band. Definitely. I think it's probably the equivalent of seeing fish without performance enhancing drugs. Bye.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:50

Um, this is a grown adult who puts a lot of ease on the end of the buy. That's like small with the old people too.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:58

Bye. Uh so the washer, they're gonna try to set up Dr. Vaughn with the iPad so he can look and figure out. Because I'm telling them how to fix it. And if they don't listen to me, that's their fault. Right. I'm telling them if you go in there and you explain how much water, when it happens, and whatever, it's gonna tell you what the problem is. Right. And I'm sure I don't think that they should get a new washer.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:21

I really don't. I'm very disappointed if they buy.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:24

Did they hear the story about the fridge that I told them? About I replaced parts of a fridge that was working, so I didn't have to buy a new fridge. Right. The reason that I can go to Denver, the reason that I can go to Fort Worth, Texas, is because I save money in air other areas of my life.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:39

Right, and you could use it for something better than the fridge with the table.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:43

Thank you, Lou, for the um for the email. What else we got? Weekly podcast 71 downloads last week. I think that's only one podcast.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:02

Like now we can do that for 30 week. Um recording. Here you go. Alright, so I think we're gonna have to come back to the field recording because that's all it is. Six minutes and thirty-few seconds.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:39

It's good to have time. We got a fair male. I can only mean one thing.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:50

What's up, fellas? How's it hanging? Hello. I've never smoked any butter. But I do specialize in the in the dark parts of smoking brisket and beef.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:01

I like brisket. Right. Because this I know it's Oklahoma, but like that's like a Texas parking here. It's out there. See pork, that's more like us to the southeast. I like brisket better than beef.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:13

But the thing is, like, there's a place that I I found in St. Augustine called Briskies. Uh-huh. And their brisket, you cannot eat it with a fork. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:24

Because if you go to get it with a fork, it falls apart. Oh, yeah. If I pick it up with my fingers, it's like falls apart. It's like I'm eating it, it's like pudding.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:31

It's like beef pudding. It is the best brisket I've ever had. And I'm like, how do they make it fall? Like, I've had plenty of brisket, some of it's tough, some of it's pink, most of it's not pink. I mean, yeah. This brisket is just tender and just moist and tender and mouth watering. That's the absolute best. Oh my goodness. And then when I but they sell out, you know, you gotta go by some. Yeah. But they also have really good sides. Briskies. Briskies, I go to briskies every time. I think I went there once. And Did you get brisket?

SPEAKER_06 1:06:01

Some people just get other barberic. I probably did, honestly. I always get brisket.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:05

And it was so good. And so then when I was going up to get an extra Texas toast, I heard him say, Oh, we're out of the chicken and yellow rice. And I thought, that sounds cool. Oh, I'd like to get the chicken and yellow rice. It's not really good. Chicken and yellow rice. Good.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:18

So Oklahoma bro smokes uh brisket. Yeah, beef beef brisket. I use some big daddy barbecue rub, salt and pepper, no barbecue sauce, and some good hickory wood for about eight hours in the smoke.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:35

But that's good. Salivan. He was in Fort Worth, Texas.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:41

The biggest fish I ever caught was 14-pound flathead. Nice. I was in Dustin, Florida. There you go. A couple of years ago, hoping to get lucky and catch the legendary Florida bass. Yep. But I never caught it. Big mouth bass. Right now, primarily crappy fishing. I'm using four-pound line on a seven-foot ugly stick. Throwing minnows and ringster tails.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:04

You guys should do a fishing podcast one day. We're doing it right now. Here's a tip: use hot dogs, cut to about quarter size. Throw that bad boy on a circle hook, and you'll be bringing in catfish all day. Have a good one, fellas. Oklahoma. Thanks, Oklahoma, bro. Yeah, man. I think it's crappie though, not crappy. I think it's crappy. Well, I've heard it called crappie and crappy.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:26

I feel like uh am I making this up? It's spelled crappie, but you're supposed to say crappie. I'm not making that up.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:31

I've heard it called crappie and I've heard it called crappie. But I think I've heard it called crappie more often.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:37

Maybe it's maybe it's like a regional thing where like well, but they say crappie and you know, Florida, they say crappie or whatever.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:43

You know, yeah. Well, I um I don't know, like maybe if I get some hot dogs, I don't know that I want to go fishing with them. I kind of want to get some buns. And put them on the grill.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:57

Yeah, yeah. Now we're talking. Like it's 4th of July or something. Now we're talking.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:03

All right. Are you dropping me off and then going home? Or are you gonna go to your house and finish and then take me home? What do you want to do? What's up for you? You want to do that? Let's do that. Unless you want to go.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:12

No, of course they don't.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:12

And we gotta do the mail. I think we're almost done with the mail. All right, so thank you. Oh, uh yeah. You can go to your house.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:18

Go to my house and drop me off. Okay. Because we're almost done with the mail. This podcast has gone way too long. This is the best episode. Yeah. This is uh uh uh the last one is from Satchel Ray. Tough and bold Hyundai mid-size pickup goes in a completely different CGI direction than Santa Cruz Auto Evolution. Auto Evolution is the name of the um the site, and basically the Hyundai is coming out with a pickup truck that does not look like the Santa Cruz.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:45

If you're familiar with the Santa Cruz pickup truck, it's kind of a little bit like uh and dropping me off eventually.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:55

Well, we're only gonna be at my house like an hour or an hour and a half, and then we and then uh So that's fine. It'll be fine. We're done with the podcast, and so he's just dropping me off. It's better than going all the way to your house and then all the way back to my house than all the way back to your house. Logistically, it makes sense.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:10

Like it would be like as if it would like doing that would be like him parking like a mile away from your school and making you walk every day.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:17

Yeah, it's good to get exercise, you want to get the blood flowing.

SPEAKER_11 1:09:21

Can I just stay so far?

SPEAKER_06 1:09:24

What are you talking about? There's only like one more week left of school.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:26

Can I next week can I stay?

SPEAKER_10 1:09:31

But what does she do then?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:33

Hang on, my friend's house.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:36

Yeah, y'all probably out there smoking cigarettes and re find the bleachers. We're not gonna let you find the dumpster.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:42

I I peaked at y'all don't that's right.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:48

They would kick your butt out.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:50

They would get so bad as you could just go around the circle.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:53

What this circle? Yeah, that's right.
