Transcript

SPEAKER_17 0:01

Today today's gonna be a weird one folks, but that's alright, because that's you never know what you're gonna expect around here. This is I'm I'm I'm in my I'm in the I'm in the pod mobile with my my buddy Eric and we're going to get some lunch and we're gonna meet Brian.

SPEAKER_16 0:17

And we're choking on love bugs. And we're choking on love bugs. Oh, I should take a oh the back of my house is just covered.

SPEAKER_17 0:25

You know what I found out? Love bugs like fresh paint. Oh, and that's why they're well and our house is precinctly painted, so the love bugs are attracted to the maybe the off-gassing or the bright color.

SPEAKER_02 0:40

I know they're attracted to exhaust. Are they? Which is why they're all around cars. When you stop at a traffic light, that's why they're swarming people in traffic.

SPEAKER_16 0:52

So are love bugs just a Florida thing, or how far do they go? It's a Florida thing. Just Florida. As far as I know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_17 1:04

We don't know. We have love bugs, and they are these little bugs and a mate, I think. The female hooks up with a male, maybe.

SPEAKER_02 1:14

And that's why they call them love bugs, because they're always attached. They're attached to their mates. Back to back, sort of.

SPEAKER_16 1:21

Butt to butt. Butt to butt. And they don't bite and they don't live very long.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

And nobody really eats them in nature. They must be toxic. They don't eat them, do they? No, birds aren't eating them.

SPEAKER_17 1:36

They're not really like and they are everywhere. This I mean, not always. Like the last few years I haven't really seen them, but this year they had a hatching, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:46

Which is odd because it's been so dry, and their life cycle as a larva depends on moist soil. I thought that they had to do better over.

SPEAKER_17 1:57

I thought they had to do better when it was dry because they're so bad this year.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

Right. So the experts are baffled.

SPEAKER_17 2:05

Is that true?

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Yes, it is. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_17 2:08

Haven't you noticed in the last decade or even five years that there really hasn't been as many love bugs as well?

SPEAKER_16 2:16

Like last year, there was like none. I don't remember. And now there's more than I've ever seen before. It's like it's like the revelation.

SPEAKER_17 2:23

It's like some sort of end time revelation.

SPEAKER_02 2:25

Well, it's the beginning of the great plagues.

SPEAKER_16 2:29

It's the love bug plague. Good thing they don't carry anything.

SPEAKER_17 2:34

I mean they are everywhere, and they don't really bother you. I mean, the Caroline's mad because she we're having people over, and she keeps having to sweep them up and vacuum them up, and because they die, and then they're like they'll be all over the house today. By tonight, they'll all be dead.

SPEAKER_16 2:50

In piles. In piles.

SPEAKER_08 2:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16 2:53

And the way they smear on the windshield, oh my god. The cars. Yeah. So the if you have a car wash around here, you're you're banking.

SPEAKER_02 3:04

Yeah, but it takes some effort. They just don't come right off. It's like a look at my windshield right now. Now I've heard you can use a dryer sheet, and I haven't tried it yet. I don't know what the magic is in the dryer sheet. But I heard if you wipe your windshield with a dryer sheet, it's like it works like magic.

SPEAKER_17 3:25

Um I don't have any dryer sheets. I don't use dryer sheets.

SPEAKER_02 3:31

No, I don't either. Um I might try, I might get some.

SPEAKER_16 3:36

Well, if you maybe we should go in together on some. Let's go in on a box of mounts. Yeah. 100 sheet.

SPEAKER_17 3:47

For our regular listeners, you might remember that we've run into Eric here, who I'm with today, when we went to the Leonardo's Pizza that day. Uh Brian and I were going to the uh Leonardo's Pizza and we saw your truck, and then we had lunch together. And I think that you got you made it, you were a podcast guest that day.

SPEAKER_16 4:05

Yes, I felt privileged and honored. And then, and then uh and today you're like basically my co-host. Yeah, for now. You're like a co-host on the drive for sure.

SPEAKER_14 4:16

And the good thing about the podcast is there's no rules. Just talk just right, is just right, you know? No rules, just right. That's our motto, actually.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

That's a great motto. I wish that worked for a lot of things. Well, the love bugs. Now look at this nice landscape.

SPEAKER_15 4:36

With the beach sunflower. And then you know what they weed it? They actually weed it too. I've seen them weed it. Yeah, the coontis coming back. It took a bit of a burn over there. I thought the coontis were a lot bigger. You're right. That's a good one. Well, they took a hit. They were exposed out there. The rocks are nice. Ooh!

SPEAKER_17 4:53

Ooh! Maybe we can get some rocks at the end down there to help balance out that one pot part. Oh, like to keep mulch from sliding. Well, no, just like when it when it gets skinny at the end, and we're gonna and you were talking about doing coontis, maybe you have a couple rocks and a couple countis to kind of balance out. So it's for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_16 5:15

I mean you gotta look. Do you have any rocks around or no? You don't know there's no rocks around. I don't know where you get these rocks. You always come up with rocks. Sundays at the construction site.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Oh, wait, I didn't say that.

SPEAKER_17 5:30

Wait a second. What what construction site has rocks?

SPEAKER_02 5:35

Nothing. You now no construction sites do. Those were the good old days. No, you have to buy them, right? You gotta buy them. Where and where do you buy what what's the nursery? Uh shout out to TNT Nursery for a great place to buy. Oh. Uh limestone rocks. Do they load them for you? They load them, uh, they deliver them, and they'll even put them where you want them.

SPEAKER_17 6:07

Well, I don't need them to do that, because we're only gonna need two or three.

SPEAKER_02 6:10

Yeah, yeah, I can take care of that. And their prices are very reasonable.

SPEAKER_17 6:16

Well, you got a little bit of a uh job security with me because my project is kind of ongoing. Yeah, that's good.

SPEAKER_02 6:25

We're taking care of it, you know, piece by piece.

SPEAKER_16 6:28

It's looking good. It's looking real good.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

Yeah. Nature friendly. Those plants for uh butterflies, nectar sources for all the nice pollinators.

SPEAKER_17 6:43

I keep running into um uh lantanas all over. They they just pop up everywhere. Um and I keep moving the lantanas to the fence line in the back of the property.

SPEAKER_16 6:56

I must have about 15 back there now. Yeah, that's a great pollinator plant.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

And it and in and uh and a lot of controversy around Lantana.

SPEAKER_17 7:07

But we don't have to get into that. Well, I would like to hear about that, but in the house in the yard in the Ukrainian's backyard, Lantana has gone nuts.

SPEAKER_16 7:15

And let me tell you, the blooms are everywhere, and it's beautiful. And the butterflies are going to be a little bit more than a few. The butterflies are butterflies.

SPEAKER_02 7:24

So why is that is it because it's invasive or just so it's native to the Caribbean, supposedly. And uh I think that's close enough that eventually it would have got to Florida, right?

SPEAKER_17 7:37

Yeah, yeah. So what's the but what's the controversial part that they're it's invasive?

SPEAKER_02 7:43

It's non-native and invasive, and so it sure seems native.

SPEAKER_17 7:48

It grows in dry sandy soil easily, right? It pops up everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 7:53

The way things are going with you know all these droughts and early drought, it it's a good plant to have around that offers something for the pollinators.

SPEAKER_16 8:02

The thing is, when they're small, you can move them, and if you clump them, they're really nice. Why aren't those people going? I don't know, but they go right in front of them. Everyone's asleep. Look at that.

SPEAKER_17 8:12

They're all on their phones, and there's nobody even honked. I honked like hell.

SPEAKER_02 8:16

Yeah, that was a good solid 30 second.

SPEAKER_17 8:18

That was time that those people didn't go. We had to turn left in front of them because our left turn signal went away. And I'm like, oh, we're gonna have to stop. And then the people that were and they didn't stay there. Both of them, both lanes. Both lanes. Uh we're we're passing, we've left my we've we we got we started the podcast when we left my house. Now we're passing Satchel's pizza on the right. Yeah, looks like there's a few parking spots on the house. Oh, pretty busy though. So come on down. Pretty busy. Pretty busy. Come on down.

SPEAKER_16 8:53

Let's buy one, get one pitchers today.

SPEAKER_17 8:59

Do you remember when we had $10 Pitcher Night? Were you involved with that? I wish I did. We were doing the $10 Pitcher Tuesdays. Uh because and you know what? It took off. People really liked that idea.

SPEAKER_16 9:11

Get those like premium beers. Oh, yeah, that's a great deal. And you use the old school big blast pitchers. We use the 60. Not those plastic. They're plastic pitchers, but they're 64 ounce, so it's four pints. That's a real pitcher when you get four pints out of that. Okay, okay. That's a great deal. So you're getting a 250 beer. That a craft beer.

SPEAKER_17 9:37

And uh uh yeah, a good beer. And the thing is, it was almost so popular, that's why we stopped it. It was really encouraging. A lot of drunkers. You weren't losing money, yeah. Yeah, I don't know about we're losing money.

SPEAKER_02 9:48

Well, you maybe weren't losing money, but you were definitely promoting drinking.

SPEAKER_17 9:52

Well, I guess if you come and buy a pizza and you get a pitcher, then it's fine. But if you just come and you just decide you're gonna just drink with your buddies, we're not a-get another one.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

Hey, I'll get this one.

SPEAKER_16 10:02

Yeah, you got four you each buy a pitcher, you're ready to not drive home. I wonder if if but you know, it's not a bad idea.

SPEAKER_17 10:10

It is a bar back there to have some sort of a happy hour. We've never that was the only time we ever did that.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

Let's talk about this and come up with a plan. Some kind of happy hour plan. Maybe just a one-hour happy hour.

SPEAKER_17 10:24

What if you bring your own?

SPEAKER_02 10:25

Five to six.

SPEAKER_17 10:26

Five to six? That's a bad that's not a bad idea. What would you do? Like a two dollars off? Five dollar pints.

SPEAKER_16 10:35

Or four dollar pints. I like four dollar pints, sounds better.

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Four dollar pint sounds really good. Boy, I bet that would really bring them in. In just an hour, you know, you're you're not getting anyone too.

SPEAKER_17 10:48

Then when you look at your if you're four pints, so a pitcher would be 48, 12, 16. You can do $15 pictures.

SPEAKER_02 10:55

$15 pictures.

SPEAKER_17 10:56

That would be the way to go.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

Because everything's more expensive now, anyway.

SPEAKER_16 11:00

So anyway, not a bad idea. It's not nickel beer. No. You remember that? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

CJ's when it used to be over by Tony and Pat.

SPEAKER_16 11:17

Those were fun times. What kind of beer was it? Just you know, domestic whatever. Right.

SPEAKER_02 11:28

Well, what do you want for a nickel, you know?

SPEAKER_16 11:31

Yeah. That that's always a recipe for disaster.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

That's why they did it.

SPEAKER_17 11:40

It was like disaster night. Have you ever been to Ollie's Bargain Outlet?

SPEAKER_02 11:45

Yes, and I'm not gonna promote it too much because I don't want them to run out of things that I buy there. What kind of things do you buy there?

SPEAKER_17 11:55

I've been in that place once or twice, and I'm like, this place is disgusting.

SPEAKER_16 12:01

It's like a really big dollar general with shit everywhere and mixed. So they're Mexican flower pots? That's red pots. They have red flower pots. But they're all seem to be really tall and skinny. They got different ones.

SPEAKER_17 12:14

I guess I don't go often enough to re- So you're getting pots.

SPEAKER_02 12:17

I can reveal the best cap of secret about ollies.

SPEAKER_17 12:21

Let me tell you something about this podcast. Most of the people that listen are in the Midwest. They're out there in Utah and Colorado. They can come shop at our olies. They're not gonna shop at our Ollies. There's probably a few people in Gainesville, and those people aren't gonna steal it. Like, what I'm saying is it that we're not very popular. You're free to tell your secrets here.

SPEAKER_02 12:41

Okay, so here's the deal. You know, if you go to any of the auto parts store and you go to buy windshield wiper blades, they're ridiculous. $30. $30 for every single one. Yeah, for one. Guess how much they are at Ollie's and they're name brand and really good. $25? Four dollars. Really? Wiper blades for four dollars. All the sizes? All the sizes. Michelin, um Simons. Siemens. Siemens, is that how you say it? Yeah. Yeah. Name brand, great stuff. Really? Yeah. Four bucks. I can't. I was thinking. So when I go in there, I'd buy like six at a time.

SPEAKER_17 13:25

I was passing that place and I'm thinking, that is the I had to go there the other day because we needed flip-flops at the restaurant. We have these PVC pipes, and you hit them with flip-flops, and they make sounds. Oh kids do. Okay. And so the flip-flops are broken, and the guy's like, oh, I get them from Ollie's. I said, I'm going that way, I'll get them. And I go in there and I'm just like, God, this place is a nightmare. It is, because it's kind of dumpy, but that's. That's jumpy, and I didn't want to like focus my eyes too much because I was afraid I was going to get distracted and buy a bunch of shit I didn't need.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

You're not going to buy food from there. But you know, auto parts stuff is really cheap there and it's named brand. I don't know why wiper blades are $30.

SPEAKER_16 14:11

I I I've always been confused that wiper blades were so expensive.

SPEAKER_02 14:16

Yeah. So anyway, that's the hot wiper.

SPEAKER_17 14:19

Well, that's a good tip. And that's not and that doesn't mean that you're gonna go and they're gonna be gone.

SPEAKER_02 14:25

No, they keep a pretty good supply, but I it's funny, you know, how people will go spend $30 and maybe they don't know they can get them for $4. They don't know. But now they do. But now they do, and it's gonna spread like wildfire. And I'm gonna go in there and I'm gonna be like, Won't won't, no more wiper plays. Where? Right next to that black truck. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_16 14:49

We're um we've now arrived at our favorite sandwich shop, Hogan's Heroes. The best sandwich shop in town.

SPEAKER_17 14:59

Eric pointed out a shady spot which I completely would have missed.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

Yeah, we don't want to get into a hot car. All right.

SPEAKER_17 15:09

I guess we don't really need to lock it. There's nothing to steal.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

All right, I'll just crack the window then.

SPEAKER_17 15:15

Yeah. I don't know. Oh no! Oh I I was thinking I didn't have any money, but now because it's cash only. I think I do. Do you have cash? Oh cash only at this place. Oh, I got some cash. Alright, so Eric's gone in. I'm getting my cash. Brian's meeting us here. And and so this is Eric.

It's out on the side of my restaurant. We've got a backpack and a shovel. Oh, cool. Full-size. He used to come originally, he was from the Gainesville Mall. There's a restaurant that he was at in the 70s. What was it? Motherlode.

SPEAKER_04 33:16

And then uh it weirdly came out of like it went from the motherlode restaurant to the sporting goods store.

SPEAKER_06 33:23

It kind of went with the sporting goods, because you have backpacking gear. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_17 33:26

So close enough. What about satchels? How does it go there? That's the guy who takes all the crap from people. Exactly, yeah. You know, it's like the junkyard pizza shop.

SPEAKER_15 33:37

Hodge podge of everything. What uh that alachua sign?

SPEAKER_05 33:43

Where did that come from? Oh, that came from this. The alachua holiday inn. Nice. We and it would took a lot of it took a lot of people on the internet to figure that out.

The thing about a check is if you pay with a credit card, I gotta pay a fee. You pay with a check? No fee.

SPEAKER_00 46:15

No fee, maybe that's what about travelers' checks?

SPEAKER_17 46:21

I'm I don't I'm sure we do, although I'm not really in the register very much to know the answer. Foreign currency? Foreign currency.

SPEAKER_12 46:30

Like Canadian quarters.

SPEAKER_17 46:31

They bring so many bills from other countries and just give them to us. We've got a we've got an envelope by the register. It's like little souvenirs. Yeah, like, oh, we've got this, oh, I've got you want this dollar from we're like, sure, and then put them into a piece of artwork or something.

SPEAKER_04 46:47

Oh recently, I was trying to explain to my kids what travelers' checks are. Yeah. And they were just like, why? Is it money? I'm like, well, yeah, it's money, but it's like it looks like monopoly money.

SPEAKER_12 46:59

Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 46:59

Yeah. They are kind of weird.

SPEAKER_12 47:01

You used to go to like to a bank or wherever you get them, and you have to sit there and sign every one. Right? Is it still a thing? I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 47:09

No way, right?

SPEAKER_08 47:09

No way.

SPEAKER_01 47:10

No, but I don't think so. How does it work? Like before like the line.

SPEAKER_17 47:15

Like I'm trying to remember, you sign them when you give them to somebody, so if somebody steals them, right? That's a match. It's like your money.

SPEAKER_06 47:22

You sign them when you buy them. Right. And then you go like to wherever you're going, to Europe, right.

SPEAKER_09 47:28

And you go somewhere and you sign it in front of them, and they look at the two signatures, and they go, bigger.

SPEAKER_04 47:34

I'm 47, so like I'm pretty old, but like I certainly, when I went to Europe when I was younger, I absolutely dropped traveler checks.

SPEAKER_17 47:43

Oh, I took traveler's checks when I went to Europe. But I don't remember how it worked. And it seems like if I was steal somebody's traveler's checks, I would just sit there and practice their signature for a couple days and then walk around selling, you know, spinning them.

SPEAKER_12 47:57

That's what I would do if I was a thief. But you just call American Express up and say my traveler's checks were stolen.

SPEAKER_09 48:04

And then they get you your money back. That was their thing.

SPEAKER_17 48:08

My money was my traveler's checks were in my waistband, my money belt. They're like under my shirt, you know. I looked before fanning packs were popular. Yeah. I don't think they've even been invented yet.

SPEAKER_02 48:29

Traveler's checks are largely obsolete and difficult to cash. Yeah, obviously. We should bring that back, guys. High fees, low acceptance, and replacement logistics. Can I have a bet here?

SPEAKER_04 48:42

Meatball.

SPEAKER_02 48:43

Oh, please.

SPEAKER_04 48:44

Yeah, that's a hot.

SPEAKER_12 51:33

SPEAKER_17 51:37

We got a couple living in our on our pond, and they're I think they're nesting up and every morning at 6 45 7.

SPEAKER_15 51:44

I like them though. Don't you? I love them.

SPEAKER_17 51:46

Yeah, I love them. We love that they're there. We've never had them in 20-something years, we've never had them in 25 years we've never had them.

SPEAKER_02 51:53

So Louisiana this year, I think, as well as last year, they allowed you to um shoot two during hunting season. I bet they are. And they're big and there's probably a lot of meat on them.

SPEAKER_17 52:08

Shoot two, huh?

SPEAKER_02 52:09

That's terrible.

SPEAKER_04 52:10

I mean, there's a lot of them. Very Louisiana.

SPEAKER_19 52:12

Yeah. Yeah, well, they need for life, right?

SPEAKER_09 52:19

Yeah, it's gonna be better just to like if you're gonna take a mama, you might as well take your dad.

SPEAKER_12 52:25

It's better for everyone else.

SPEAKER_02 52:27

I mean, we went down a dark road to get here, but you're right. You don't want someone to be sad.

SPEAKER_12 52:35

Not even a bird.

SPEAKER_02 52:36

I knew your mama would have picked you up.

SPEAKER_12 52:38

I figured you were coming from work.

SPEAKER_04 52:41

I got up earlier than I thought, and I had to go look at my way?

SPEAKER_16 52:46

My window's down around all the time.

SPEAKER_04 52:50

Oh, I have an opportunity to.

SPEAKER_15 52:54

You're not supposed to.

SPEAKER_17 52:55

I would have picked you up by you because we don't drive by your house.

SPEAKER_03 53:02

I got different rules there. I don't know. I'll probably end up, I don't know, yeah. I might have away home again because never can't pick up.

SPEAKER_02 53:13

This weekend is the uh festival. This is probably like 65 year, something like that.

SPEAKER_04 53:23

I want to say maybe white sprint for it. Okay. Have you ever been to uh Stephen Foster State Park? It's on the Suan River Remember. Easy to choose. One easy tune on white. You will never find better people watching than at this event. It is just like wonder bred. It's a very unique event. It's just uh very scary. It's the longest run pulp festival in the country.

SPEAKER_02 53:56

So I dragged this kayak right out and back to your place for the big stage.

SPEAKER_17 54:04

It's got like three stages, four stages, ten, or airboat.

SPEAKER_02 54:09

Oh, where the open water was. You'll be there the whole week. Yeah, but you had a lot of property with the water and kind of connected that for the case. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 54:17

There's very few things can pull me away from the floor.

SPEAKER_02 54:19

I thought about trying to full festival snowshoes or something and walk across that.

SPEAKER_04 54:24

Rest assured, I got everything covered, everything's all everything's in place. But I imagine if you could do the head. It's a it's a well-oiled machine.

SPEAKER_19 54:35

But then I'm thinking, what if you had like two pieces of four by four plywood and just screw one?

SPEAKER_16 54:42

Yeah, and then you stay up late, play music, and you probably don't go to bed at 7.30. Well, tonight I might tomorrow night. You remember that time camping now? Oh, I remember floating. You went to bed at 7.45.

SPEAKER_17 54:55

I was sitting by the fire with a bunch of people I didn't want to tell you. I'd only gone to hang out with you.

SPEAKER_04 55:01

It's tired of me. It's like I gotta get away from style. I was tired, not of you, but I was tired.

SPEAKER_02 55:08

And the ducks hide in all that stuff. Yeah, I don't know. I'll probably never live that down, but yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:12

Well deserved.

SPEAKER_16 55:15

You'll live it down. I'll give up.

SPEAKER_11 55:18

But I never actually did get a shy to find a way to stay on top of that.

SPEAKER_04 55:22

Yeah, I like this table, this corner table. I feel like I feel like we're kind of like holding for it, you know. Yeah, like people come in and we're gonna be able to do it. Because you're so welcome to hopefully. But it's still dice. They got the babe root jersey. Well, there's a lot of big gators out there.

SPEAKER_02 55:40

So dragging your kayak out there in the dark, man, it's scary.

SPEAKER_17 55:45

Everybody ate everything except for you, Eric. That's right, because I'm full. And it's alright. You had enough that you don't need to save it.

SPEAKER_19 55:55

Don't shame meat.

SPEAKER_17 55:57

You did good. You ate one meatball, you have left.

SPEAKER_02 56:00

Half a meatball. There, I'm gonna eat it right now. Thank you. Two more half there.

SPEAKER_17 56:05

Yeah, there's another one. Well, that's bread. Oh, yeah, you did you did good. You ate all your meatball, you left a little bit of meat.

SPEAKER_07 56:10

Bread's good for the gears, too.

SPEAKER_17 56:13

Yeah, all soggy. You don't have to eat it all, I don't care. So are we do are we gonna ever go have that barbecue we were supposed to have for Peter Alcohol? Because I was like, well, now he said something about it. I'm like, well, Laura's there now. We can't go out and hang out now with Laura there. Because he doesn't like to see us misbehaving. Yeah, you just you got a woman around, you can't do all the stuff you normally do. And then I said, Oh what are you normally doing? Just like smoking cigarettes.

SPEAKER_18 56:55

Oh, you said it right out loud!

SPEAKER_04 56:58

Okay, they're never gonna listen to this.

SPEAKER_02 57:00

You're so busted.

SPEAKER_04 57:02

Um anyway, uh no no I don't smoke, by the way, just so everybody knows.

SPEAKER_02 57:10

Just for the record. Not a smoker.

SPEAKER_05 57:12

You smoke weed, don't you?

SPEAKER_02 57:14

No.

SPEAKER_19 57:15

I can't do that anymore. The stuff now knocks me out.

SPEAKER_04 57:18

I need like 70s weed. I get I get some good 70s weed from uh don't use names. Well, I'm not going to. An acquaintance of mine. Actually, he grows it in Vermont. Does he? Yeah. He grows it in Vermont and he grows it here. But uh But yeah, in Vermont you can just do that. It's I mean, I mean obviously there's limits, like you could have like this many plants.

SPEAKER_17 57:42

Two plants per adult. Right. Do you have a couple plants? Uh I don't really grow it, no, but I have so many friends that grow it.

SPEAKER_09 57:48

Like two plants is more than a person can smoke. It's a lot, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 57:53

And so people are just giving it away. Yeah. Whereas you used to have to like find somebody to sell it to you. And it's general. Now I just got weed in jars all over the house.

SPEAKER_15 58:02

Just sitting around.

SPEAKER_09 58:02

If it's been there for a year, I just dump it up.

SPEAKER_17 58:06

That's great. Bumper crop. You maybe you need that year old weed that he's throwing away. There you go.

SPEAKER_19 58:12

I don't need moldy weed.

SPEAKER_17 58:14

No, that's good. It's it's uh it gets better with age, like a fine wine.

SPEAKER_02 58:18

THC soda.

SPEAKER_04 58:20

Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 58:21

And they're so good. Right. They're great. That's the only one is like a nice little uh yeah.

SPEAKER_12 58:26

Yeah, that yeah, and you're not inhaling smoke. Yeah, I do those edibles a lot, you know, because Vermont also has other just legal stores. You can just go buy it. It's on the store and you can see it. It's medical grade, you can trust it. It's just regular recreational, not even that great, yeah. Um but um they have all those gummy edibles and stuff, which are great.

SPEAKER_02 58:45

Yeah, I agree. Well, those mints, those Dr. Moxley mints, those are Colorado is where I try to use.

SPEAKER_17 58:57

Are you still on that tractor every day? Or have you?

SPEAKER_06 59:00

Not today, I worked yesterday.

SPEAKER_12 59:01

I pretty much uh I got a couple little trees I want to take down on the edges, four or five of these. And uh kind of smooth things back out. I pulled up all the roots and everything.

SPEAKER_17 59:12

He got 10 acres out by Cross Creek near uh Marjorie Ken Rollins. Very nice. And he's gonna build a he built a basically a little tent out there now and a like a bathroom and a kitchen. Nice. But the next job is to like build a house, right? Right?

SPEAKER_04 59:26

Yeah, regular house. Yeah, yeah, foundation, yeah. That's like we did on our 10 acres.

SPEAKER_17 59:31

They did the same thing, got 10 acres and built a house. And they lived in a little trailer, a little uh airstream, really.

SPEAKER_10 59:38

Spartan, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 59:40

Which is even cooler than the trailer, uh it's way more way more niche, you know. Airstream everybody knows about that.

SPEAKER_03 59:48

I used to have a Scotty. So Scotty. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 59:53

That's cool, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 59:53

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_17 59:58

That tent thingy filled.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:00

Sweet, huh?

SPEAKER_17 1:00:01

Yeah, that's cool. That's really good. Yeah, so I guess it's like a platform, and then it's a really nice polar canvas tent that's like a wall tent, you know, probably 20 by 20.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:12

It's 16 by 20. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:17

16 by 20. Big in there. Yeah. Um, and uh and it's got a heavy-duty tarp over the top of it.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:23

Yeah, so basically it's like a pavilion with tarp over it, and then the tent's built up underneath it. So the tent doesn't even get wet.

SPEAKER_17 1:00:31

And then there's a tree that looks like it might die and fall onto the tent. A giant hickie tree.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:38

Jesus.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:40

Yeah. It's gonna come down. The canvas is not gonna protect anybody convenient little pieces.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:47

Don't you got a container out there too, though?

SPEAKER_07 1:00:48

Yeah, shipping container, yeah. What do you think? I should move into that.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:52

Well, during hurricane season.

SPEAKER_17 1:00:56

Lock the door. Get a get a Macy? Does she have an advance on the book? So she's writing a book on birds? That seems like a big topic. No. It's just called Birds of the World? The Book of Birds. The Book of Birds sounds like a little bit too broad of a chapter.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:14

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:01:15

Well, maybe she's a book of the bird. I think Sasha will you can tell. Like, I'm trying to find out. She's a successful author. Is she going through all the birds though? Do you know? I think three birds. There's three birds. It's the book of three birds.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:28

The condor, uh sandhill, sandhill crane, and I think it's the dusky sparrow. Dusky Seaside Sparrow. That went extinct.

SPEAKER_17 1:01:39

That went extinct, yeah. And does she take photos or does she have a photographer for that stuff? How does that work? It's not, it's not so much.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:47

She would have a couple pictures in it, right?

SPEAKER_08 1:01:49

It's stories that have been in the show.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:50

Yeah, she could borrow those from somebody. It's not the book like the field, and you go, is that a red shoulder or a red dick?

SPEAKER_17 1:01:59

Right.

unknown 1:02:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:02:00

Right. I would just think a book of birds would have at least a picture of the three birds that that are maybe there'd be a couple pictures. But it's a story book. Like a documentary story.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:12

It's part and memoir.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:14

Oh, I like that. Okay, now make sure.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:17

You know, and she's an anthropologist, so she's exploring extinction and you got one that's extinct, and you got one that you can kill because there's too many.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:30

They were down to like seven.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:33

Yeah, just a few, yeah. Wow. They really did a great job breeding those in captivity. You think so? Feeding them with the condor-looking sock, the babies, so they wouldn't imprint on here.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:45

They are still capturing every condor every year. Really? Oh my god. For what? For conservation. For conservation, taxing them for lead levels. Because lead poisoning that killed the body. From eating uh like carrion or like dead animals that were shot at lead shop.

SPEAKER_17 1:03:08

Sure, sure. Yeah. Well, that's very exciting.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:13

Oh, there's uh the biggest bird in the new world, I think, wingspan-wise. I think it's bigger than a harpy eagle.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:22

What about that?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:23

It might not weigh more than a harpy eagle, but it's a land bird.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:26

What is the albatross? The mighty albatross.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:28

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:03:31

How many books is this for her? What will this be? Four, maybe. Fourth book? Yeah. Yeah. And so she just sits in that hot tent. Oh, it's the air conditioner. No. No air conditioner. If you didn't get a little windy unit or anything, fan. That's all you need. I mean, I guess it kind of makes you feel like you're in the real real deal. It's hot.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:54

It's just now shady.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:55

Like today's the probably the hottest morning. Yeah. Yeah. Just kind of still and feels summery. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:04

The last couple weeks it's been kind of cool in the morning, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but it's going to get down into the 60s at night.

SPEAKER_17 1:04:11

How long is she going to be here?

SPEAKER_12 1:04:14

Oh. 15 minutes. And you stay? I'm just going to stay for another week or so. Yeah. It's nice in Vermont right now.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:23

Yeah. Yeah. I bet. It's 65 or 70 in Vermont.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:27

Perfect. Okay, who wants to guess what the wingspan is of the Elbatrols?

SPEAKER_04 1:04:33

The mighty albatross.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:34

12 and a half feet. City albatross. Close. Eight and a half feet. Close, a little too low.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:42

Ten and a half feet.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:45

Close, a little too low. It's 11 and a half feet.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:48

Wow. I think I was. What about the uh North American condor? Let's check. What was that? I'm gonna say that was the albatross. Albatross.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:56

Eight feet condor. That's what I'm gonna do. That's my guess.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:59

So 11.5 is the max on the albatross. I'm gonna go 12. Yeah. We're going South American condor though. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:09

Oh well that changes everything.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:16

Not the puny little California condor. Not the California condor, no.

SPEAKER_13 1:05:21

Dun dun dun.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:29

Wait a second. I'm gonna try another source. Because you don't like the answer.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:36

You're gonna try another source.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:38

That one said 10. It popped right up, 10. So they're kind of about the same. North and South America? But the albatross is probably bigger. There's the Andean, that's right. They call it the Andean.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:53

Right. You got the Andean boon or the California boon or something.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:57

Oh, this says wingspan of 10 to 12 feet. Dun dun dun.

SPEAKER_17 1:06:04

That's a that's of the contrast. That's big. It's big. Tad bigger. I think that guy playing basketball last night had an eight foot wig span. I think he does. He probably did. Seven and a half feet tall.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:15

So supposedly if you put your arms out, from fingertip to fingertip is how tall you're. Right? You heard that too?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:21

I feel like that's an urban legend, but yeah, I've heard that. I think we should all measure ourselves. I don't have a tape measure tape measure.

SPEAKER_17 1:06:27

Well we can't do it now. But we should. And get back to each other.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:31

So should I check to see if they have tape measurement?

SPEAKER_17 1:06:34

I have one in my truck.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:35

My basketball height is 5'9. Okay. What's yours? What is what's the difference? Basketball how you add a little bit. 6'3.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:46

Yeah, you're at least 6'3. I'm 6'4, uh basketball.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:54

That weigh 175. Basketball weigh.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:57

Now I know that's not true because I weigh 175. Just your torso.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:08

You know that uh the public. Without my legs, I'm a buck 75.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:14

Why don't they have a scale?

SPEAKER_04 1:07:15

It broke.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:16

Oh I thought 30. Yeah, I just want your torso.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:20

I complain to myself every time I walk in there. You need to complain to management. But but it turns out there was an article about it in the paper a few years ago, and there's only one place in Ohio that even like repairs those old scales. So I think it's just like basically impossible. Like once if it there's it's not like Oh, in Toledo. The scale with the most flying. No, no, it's the one. Yeah, Publix doesn't have one. Which is unacceptable. Exactly.

SPEAKER_17 1:07:48

They might I wish you might as well go to well they don't, but if you're public, if you're not gonna have a scale, then why are you there? Well I'm already doing all this. You're already paying twice as much for everything.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:57

You set fresh roots down before you weigh yourself, or just you hold on to them something.

SPEAKER_17 1:08:02

I don't hold on to them. I empty my pockets. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:07

I take out my clothes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:11

Yeah, I hate that. And it bothers me so much that they got rid of that scale. Because to me, that's the best thing about both.

SPEAKER_15 1:08:18

Yeah, that is fun.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:23

My buddy texted me, Lance Shark is BOGO right now.

SPEAKER_17 1:08:27

I heard this thing today. The place to get windshield wiper blades is Ollie's down here. They're four dollars.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:35

Did Sean tell you that? No, he told me. Sean at work told me that. Why the blades? I raced out four bucks. You get the $30 in the auto parts. Yes. $30. I bought windshield wipers for both of our vehicles, and it was less than it was less than one windshield wiper out.

SPEAKER_19 1:08:54

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:56

Yep.

SPEAKER_17 1:08:56

So I think I might get like a stock up. I'm gonna buy I'm gonna sell them on the side of the road for two dollars and sell them for six bucks on the side of the road. I'm just gonna get them for life. What do you think? Like once.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:07

That's what he said he did.

SPEAKER_17 1:09:08

I didn't even need them, but I was like, I literally cannot pass up this opportunity. I was just thinking that place should be burned down. There's nothing in there worth anything. And then he told me all the secrets.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:17

We should all go to Ollie's right now and buy at least four.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:19

Yeah, well, we need we need windshield wipers. These love bugs are gonna tear up the windshield wire. There you go.

SPEAKER_17 1:09:25

No, but we gotta get the bounce. You think they got that old's? Because they said they'd go in. That's four ways. Oh, I got it.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:31

Well, you're on to the bounce? Yeah. So supposedly dryer sheets take a lot.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:36

Let's go to the public's. We won't weigh ourselves because there's no scale. But we'll buy the bounce, the dryer sheets, and I'll pay for them with a personal check.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:44

At where?

SPEAKER_04 1:09:45

Public.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:46

Should we go to the public's on like 13th to the scale? Scale, yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:09:50

Yeah, way better. Yeah. I don't know. I think Ollie's is gonna have a good deal on bounce bounce.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:56

If they even sell it. Yeah, they'll probably sell some kind of dryer sheet. Ollie's brand or something. Off brand, yeah. Michelin? Michelin. Dude, the wipers, Michelin or Simon. How do you say it? Siemens. Siemens. Is that how you say it? S-I-M-O-N-Z.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:13

Simon Simons, because that's Simonize. Yeah, Simonize. I thought it was always Siemens. That's not a good one. Siemens is like uh like electronic controllers for air conditioning units. Right. S-E-I-N-Z. Oh, that's what I thought it was.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:27

Siemens. Yeah, no, no. This is S-I-M-O-N-Z.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:31

S-I-M- Oh, like Simons. Simon rinse. Okay. Simons. Alright, that's Simons.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:39

They must have hit a hundred and start over at four.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:43

I was 39. She just got a new book. 50 maybe. Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_13 1:10:49

Man, this is how you see tough guys in here, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:10:54

Always just seeing tough guys in here. Yeah, that's good. Tough guys and geezers. Tough guys and geezers around here. Yeah, they should call it tough guys and geezers. They really should.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:03

So are we really going to be able to do that?

SPEAKER_17 1:11:05

No. You know the bar is always packed here, too. Yeah. Especially during the day. There's like Gavin right there later.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:14

No. Oh no.

SPEAKER_18 1:11:17

I saw him in here the other night.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:20

Gainesville is so small, it's literally impossible to not run somebody that you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:11:30

He's like he's on his left. Crazy. Probably not painting so good after it be ripped.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:41

Maybe he paints it.

SPEAKER_17 1:11:43

I've never seen him paint. Here's the thing. I know him. He was a painting with the he had this woman, Sabrina, that painted with him.

SPEAKER_19 1:11:51

She's so nice.

SPEAKER_17 1:11:52

And she was running circles around and doing all the work. And then they broke up. They were a couple. And they broke up. She had to kind of get away. Now she's doing her own stuff. She paints. She's so good. Her painting is perfect. She can do the straightest. Everything looks, she preps, she paints, she freaks fast. She's so fast. Oh my gosh. And all the lines, I look at them, I'm like, I couldn't even make the lines that perfect. And I'd make really good lines. Oh, you're an artist. I love the I love painting so much. I would love to just paint houses, I think, but I don't want to go on a ladder. And I don't want to do the prep. But if I could just one story and it's been prepped, and then I just come in and paint.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:39

I don't think there's any jobs like that. Yeah. You just came up with a guy that just wants to prep.

SPEAKER_19 1:12:47

I just want to prep and do the high shit on the ladders. I don't want to do them. I pay no stand on the ground. That's my limit.

SPEAKER_17 1:12:54

I didn't style this house. It took me a year to paint this house.

SPEAKER_19 1:12:59

Well, I can pay three quarters of them. I'll pay three quarters of your house for $4,500.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:08

But I know a guy that'll finish.

SPEAKER_17 1:13:15

I want to know if they have dryer sheets like close by. Like maybe that pet supermarket has them.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:21

Maybe that liquor sheets are thinking the dryer sheet has like uh PCBs in it or something. I hate to bring that conversation. The dryer sheets I think are bad.

SPEAKER_17 1:13:32

This guy here, he won't even use after shaving lotion. Shaving cream. He's afraid of shaving cream. And then yesterday he's got all this wrap on his hands. And he's like, I'm like, here I got some orange, you know. Oh, yeah, goop. And he goes, I'm not putting that stuff in my hands.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:49

This guy won't touch anything that he thinks of the sand and vinegar or something.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:54

Ivory.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:54

So ivory.

SPEAKER_19 1:13:56

Ivory. And but he's gonna go get a drier supremacist. So 99.

SPEAKER_17 1:14:05

Maybe I'll wear a glove. I do want to see if that works. Where did you get that information?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:11

Oh, it's commonology.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:14

I hear what he's wanting to do though is pre-treat the grill of your car with cooking spray.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:21

Never heard that. Make like a bad thing.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:23

Did you just make that up? Nope. And what about Ranex on your windshield first, man? Why not?

SPEAKER_17 1:14:28

Yeah, well. You just gotta put like Pam on their car spray.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:32

Pam, exactly. Or you can get the generic brand, public brand.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:36

That's not the olive oil one either. Pam.

SPEAKER_17 1:14:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:14:42

Spray oil. It's a lubricant.

SPEAKER_09 1:14:46

Yeah, I don't know. I hear that the um I don't love bugs like the heat. It's the heat they're attracted to. Yeah. Which is why they go for the exhaust. You see them in a parking lot.

SPEAKER_17 1:14:56

What did you say else that they liked? That was some kind of method cleaner. Method cleaner. Yeah, it's not like a natural. I think they like the off-gassing of the new paint job. That's why they're on our paint.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:09

I heard they really like are they they're not always coupled, right?

SPEAKER_17 1:15:13

Yeah, not always a lot of times.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:16

And then most of the time they're double.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:17

Yeah, butt to butt, we say. But it's like, don't they mate and then basically immediately die? They all I know is they're all over our house.

SPEAKER_17 1:15:27

They don't look like they live. And then they're like all dead on the ground in the middle.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:34

Wet dryer sheets are an excellent and widely used hack for removing the glove bug spiders from your car's pain and windows. The fabric software breaks down the bug's proteins, allowing them to wipe away easily with minimal effort. What did we do before Google, man? How do you use dryer sheets?

SPEAKER_12 1:15:56

Can you look up what is the chemicals in dryer sheets and how bad is it for you? Fabric.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:02

How long will I live if I scrub my car with a dryer sheet?

SPEAKER_17 1:16:08

Alright, I'll tell you. I don't think most people in the world even know about love bugs. That's a thing. I know they do it. It's a very uh flooring thing. If you've got a place at your house where they're really bad, take a little short video for Instagram. Nope, you got it. Can you get can you capture them on video? I can capture them. They're all over my porch. They're in my house. There's some competing uh love bugs.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:32

Love bugs videos. Okay. You got it. You're on. All right. Dryer sheets are not overly toxic for most people, but they are a common source of indoor air pollution and skin irritation. The heat of the dryer activates chemicals in the sheets, which release VOCs. Weren't you saying that?

SPEAKER_07 1:16:48

Yeah, that's in pain. I said PCBs, but VOCs no.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:53

Release VOCs into the air. Respiratory irritation can trigger asthma, skin sensitivity. Whatever.

SPEAKER_17 1:17:04

We don't really need to know that. We're drinking out of styrofoam cars.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:08

Do you want a natural alternative? White vinegar. Adding one to two cups of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle of your wash acts as a natural fabric softener.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:17

What?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:18

Well you put dryer sheets in the dryer, though. Oh, you know what this is though, is that that acidifies hard water, which makes your clothes stiff. So that acidity higher acid is maybe, maybe. Natural. All natural. Yeah, natural. So there you go. I'm gonna try a load. Probably like a you're gonna try to add white vinegar? Yeah. I wonder if it smells though.

SPEAKER_17 1:17:45

Smell like vinegar. Smell like a potato chip. I was cleaning out my sister's house, and there's a little jar of white vinegar, and I got it. I can give it to you. You need some. I don't trust it. It's a bin useful. How do you know it's white vinegar? I don't believe you. It's alright, I can I can give you some white vinegar if you need some. I need you to give me wet dryer sheets. What are wet dryer sheets? You mean you wet them or does it mean they get wet?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:14

Just wet. Just wet them with water and then actually. You got some. Wendy's in the chat. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:21

Do you have some?

SPEAKER_10 1:18:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:22

Wendy's got the channel. Yeah, we use them for uh like long-term storage of sheets and and towels and stuff. We put all that stuff away when we're gone. And that helps it it keeps them fresh, yeah. That's a great idea. It's a smell.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:38

Yeah, and maybe the maybe it keeps the bugs away. Probably keep closed mouths out. It's like a mothball, yeah.

SPEAKER_19 1:18:44

It might absorb moisture somehow, too. That's a great idea.

SPEAKER_17 1:18:50

Thank you. I love that you just make it up somewhere.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:53

It might do this. It might. And we're all like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Sounds good.

SPEAKER_19 1:19:01

Fine every bit of it.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:08

Well, what do you think?

SPEAKER_08 1:19:11

What do you think that hockey punk is?

SPEAKER_04 1:19:18

Is it though? Okay, that's that's heavy. I think it's a stack of half dollar uh coins. Silver dollar.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:27

Silver dollar coins. Uh unwrap it.

SPEAKER_17 1:19:34

It's got a twisty tie, so it can be uh investigated. Right. So at this point, we are trying to investigate this table decoration. Are we still online? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:46

Oh yeah. We're always online.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:49

Oh my god, that's a concrete tape. They pour nobody.

SPEAKER_19 1:19:54

They made that.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:55

And hot picture of that? Oh, yeah. Oh, I got a picture.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:58

Wow. How much is that? That's a good little uh cottage industry selling those things every 250 years. I could get a rich.

SPEAKER_17 1:20:10

They always decorate. Usually they decorate the uh windows, but it's always decorated on the windows for whatever. But right now it's red flag.

SPEAKER_11 1:20:17

It's like they do St. Patrick's Day.

SPEAKER_17 1:20:19

They do everything. They do everything. Sometimes there's just a spring it was just like a butterfly.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:24

What do they do for uh they have some guy that comes around and just paints the windows? Uh United Nations Day, Flag Day. I guess flag day is obvious. Day Pride Day.

SPEAKER_17 1:20:32

Back in the day, there was like I remember a long time ago where a guy would come around and he'd say, hey, I'd paint windows, what do you want on there? And he paints them. They don't do that anymore, but there's some guy out there still doing it. And he comes here and he makes all his whole living off of just doing Hogan's windows. I bet he does. Have you noticed how it's always different? Have you noticed? Did you see the butterflies a couple weeks ago? Now it's what what's the picture on the left side here? It's the guy that's the guy's hitting.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:59

Oh yeah, that's Hogan. Yeah. That's uh Corporal Hogan.

SPEAKER_17 1:21:04

Yeah, well, we almost got beers. You wanted to get a beer, didn't you?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:11

Of course. Rat Hogan.

SPEAKER_17 1:21:13

I said, I'm getting a tea, and then he's like, Oh, I guess I'll get a tea. And if we would have got beers, they would have got beers.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:18

I look.

SPEAKER_17 1:21:20

We would have all we could all move to the bar.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:22

I think they sell pictures here. I'm sure they do. For $10? Probably cheap. Do you know their beer is so cheap here?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:30

We were here Tuesday night, my buddy got a Guinness three bucks.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:33

Oh my god. What is it? 1995 or something?

SPEAKER_17 1:21:37

See, there's not even room for four guys in the bar. I don't think.

SPEAKER_19 1:21:40

Are we tough enough to sit lunch?

SPEAKER_17 1:21:42

Yeah, we are.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:44

Yeah, we are. Should we get a picture of? I had Smittix up there. Smidnix is Smiddix.

SPEAKER_17 1:21:53

I don't know. I don't know that beard.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:55

It's Ireland's other famous beard.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:59

But it's spelled uh Smithwich. Yeah. Oh Smithwix. Right, but you're supposed to say Smittix, and I know that, but just to be extra annoying, I always say Smithwix.

SPEAKER_17 1:22:08

I had no idea. I'm glad that I met you, ran into you guys today, because now I didn't want to go around saying Smithwicks. We know things. Oh, you're the best. Who made these?

SPEAKER_14 1:22:21

Uh the Dollar Tree.

SPEAKER_17 1:22:26

It looks homemade. Well, yeah, Dollar Tree. But that little concrete and glue and everything, who's making those?

SPEAKER_06 1:22:33

Somebody in Malaysia or Cambodia, probably.

SPEAKER_19 1:22:37

Little slave hands.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:38

Oh yeah. It'd be nice if you could take this red, white, and blue thing out and then put in like, like you said, like an Easter thing.

SPEAKER_19 1:22:45

You could.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:49

We have the only one.

SPEAKER_17 1:22:50

We have the only one. I mean, there's a little bit of red, white, and blue. Fine here, it's a little tie decorated the whole place in the overall. I might take that boat tie.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:01

I might wear this on Monday. Oh, that would be cool. It's probably Dollar General too, though.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:09

Certainly. Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree. Yeah, Dollar General is a little like that's like a step above Dollar Tree in the hierarchy of it. Swanking. Right.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:21

You got a uh a new DG marketplace. It's like a grocery store, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:23:25

I've seen them, but yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:27

Got like can't kind of zipper colors and citra.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:30

Oh.

unknown 1:23:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:31

DG DG marketplace. I've seen those, yeah. But you go in, it kind of got a dollar general value. Yeah, sure does a lot of things on the floor.

SPEAKER_17 1:23:40

It's uh it's a a uh a franchise sort of thing. Yeah, more grocery. When I lived there, they had the Citrus Super, which was the Citrus Supermarket on the left there at the light.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:51

You would go, you've never been to the Waldron uh farmers market. Did you ever go there? Walden? Wald no, it's called Waldrin, it's that big like they uh peanut farmers market there. But they they have like other vendors and veggies, weekend type thing.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:08

It's like that big outdoor pavilion right there at Citra. Okay.

SPEAKER_17 1:24:12

There's a pizza place there that I've been to. Yeah, me too. Isn't that good? Yeah. They got five star down there too. Five star is good.

unknown 1:24:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:24:21

So that is that the closest place to you? Citra? Pizza in the world. I've seen that song. Uh no, but I ate pizza there in Citra one time. That was good. I remember I went there. Me and you went together. I was like, who was that with? Is that with you? I bought you a pepperoni pizza.

SPEAKER_14 1:24:45

What were we doing there?

SPEAKER_08 1:24:46

Uh well you were helping me work on uh put some little batting up or something. Yeah, and then we took a little drive around.

SPEAKER_17 1:24:54

Yeah. Back to your old haunt there. I want to I want to I want to work on some more stuff out of there, but you gotta build something. I like to paint something.

SPEAKER_16 1:25:03

Let them just not higher than the bottom.

SPEAKER_17 1:25:06

I don't mind getting on a six-foot ladder. I'll go up to eight feet.

SPEAKER_09 1:25:10

Uh okay. Uh yeah, I'm hoping to start in the fall, honestly.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:24

I got the uh the missile casings right next to the uh jalapeno peppers. Oh god, look at those shell casings. Jesus. That's a big gun. I never noticed those. These are pretty cool. Yeah, this is like one part uh bar, one part sandwich shop, one part army surplus uh military history museum. War memorabilia museum.

SPEAKER_17 1:25:53

I got this uh little what do you call that brown spot, and then I went to the skin doctor the other day and then she sprayed it with stuff. Oh yeah, like now nitrogen. Now it's all puffed up. I don't know what's it. It doesn't look good, man. It doesn't look good. I thought it was supposed to make it better.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:12

Well, I think now it's just gonna come off.

SPEAKER_17 1:26:14

Well, that's what I think was the idea to take it off. But I didn't know it was she was gonna blow it up like that.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:20

I go to a dermatologist, and that guy, I he doesn't ask anything. He just gets uh he's got a little spray can of liquid nitrogen and zaps.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:30

And he's just like, oh yeah, zaps. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Take it to me. You know what he's doing? You know what he's doing if it's okay?

SPEAKER_04 1:26:41

He's reaching his quarterly revenue goal. That's what he's doing. It has nothing to do with healthcare, has nothing to do with dermatology. You can get him started as this. That dermatologist has a quarterly revenue goal, and that's literally the only thing that determines what he does.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:55

I think that's what I didn't go to dermatologist for 10 years. Yeah, and then I went in there and he's like, Oh, I got a few spots here, you got bold, yeah, like four or five, and he goes, Okay, you're good. So you come back next year. Next year, yeah, four or five, you know, I'm like, how come every year now that's because those times you got more stuff?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:13

He already met the quarterly revenue goal, and it didn't matter.

SPEAKER_17 1:27:16

No, he'd say he never went.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:19

And then I had five spots, and now I got five things every year. Oh, okay, all right, okay.

SPEAKER_17 1:27:24

But the stuff you have is not cancer.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:26

No, it's just little moles that are irregular. Has your and he just like he's gotta take five things off every time.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:34

How much? Sure. A hundred bucks. All right, insurance just paying. Yeah, insurance. That's it, right? Because he knows that he can build, he sees what insurance you have. And he says, That insurance, I can bill that insurance for that, and they won't ask questions. So that's what we're doing.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:49

I am down with that. I think dermatology is a racket, you know. 100%.

SPEAKER_17 1:27:54

Well, it's not just dermatology. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:56

Certainly, any of your dermatologists asked You to take all your clothes off?

SPEAKER_17 1:28:02

Well, they should be because that's my. That lady inspected the bottom of my feet and between my toes the other day. You gotta be thorough, you gotta be thorough.

SPEAKER_13 1:28:10

That sounds good. I did not she did not go to my wingling. She did not take her to my body. But did you get excited? I did not. Was I supposed to? I think between the toes should have done something.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:26

Well, if you got a like a foot condition.

SPEAKER_17 1:28:28

Well, it was just kind of like separating them gently. Yeah, and that sounds like I don't know what she's looking for. That sounds erotic.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:37

Wow, I would have lost it. So anyway, I went to the dermatologist once, had to wait eight months for my appointment. I show up, I get in the room, and this guy comes in with three other people, and he said, Oh, hi, Mr. Anderson. I hope you don't mind, but I have a few uh visiting dermatologists, and they're just wanting to interact with the other. And he's like, would that be okay? Sure. I'm like, sure, that's fine. And they were both young ladies, so I was fully clothed, and I thought he's just gonna look at my face and my bald head. That's what you thought, yeah. Arms and all that. And then they leave and they come back in with like six more people, and now the room, the little room, is jammed with like nine people, and they're all staring at me.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:28

And I'm like, oh my god, and he goes, um, okay, Mr. Anderson, um, would it be alright if you took all your clothes off and we did your full body examination? And you're like, and I went with everybody, like all you people? He's like, Yes, that would be okay. You're absurd. You would you would put on a gown.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:50

And I'm like, uh Yeah, but then I'll just be lifting it up.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:53

And I'm like, uh, no, thank you. Good for you. So I said no, I stood my ground.

SPEAKER_16 1:29:58

I'm like, uh Did you take off your shirt? Yeah, I took out my shirt. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:02

And that was okay with that.

SPEAKER_15 1:30:04

Yeah, I think they're not, there's nothing in your junk. There's no like I just didn't. You gotta be a good one. I didn't want to be that exposed.

SPEAKER_17 1:30:10

There could be, but like, if you have a problem, it's gonna show up in other places first.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:14

So then you go, oh, you've got all these problems on your job on your head and it's like, well, let's just say a bunch of options went through my head, like, oh yeah. I'm taking off all my dermatologists, girls. What's gonna happen?

SPEAKER_07 1:30:33

But then I'm like, a couple of these guys look gay.

SPEAKER_17 1:30:36

I think I think if you I think if you if you had something on on in your private parts, you would know it. You it would hurt, you would see it. If there was no one and saying, I gotta take up the clothes, I gotta shoot them. Yeah. I think for the most part, they don't need to check all that. Everything.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:51

I didn't have a tick light, I didn't have any weird anything. I was just concerned about my face as I work outside. And you don't even wear a hat or anything.

SPEAKER_18 1:31:01

No, I do wear a hat.

SPEAKER_17 1:31:02

Oh, you did?

SPEAKER_02 1:31:03

Yeah. After 10 30, 11 o'clock.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:07

Yeah, but you gotta wear a hat. This is uh tick season. Speaking of ticks, this is like the height of tick season right now.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:13

Oh yeah, I pick I pick a couple off every couple days. And you're out in the woods.

SPEAKER_13 1:31:18

If you notice tickets, uh crazy. Yeah. You gotta check tick check every day? Yeah, tick tea. That's what you find any so far?

SPEAKER_08 1:31:24

I come on uh this morning or yesterday? Yeah, yeah, every day practically. Was it the red ones? A lot of them are so small, but I can't really identify them.

SPEAKER_17 1:31:37

He's got this thing he loves called the tick noose. The tick lasso. Tick lasso. And it's like you just put it in a little anything.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:45

No, no, it's not that one. This thing changed my life. I got it in the car. I'll probably show it to you guys. I keep it with me at all times. No, I bought it on eBay. I bought over the years, I bought probably 20 of these on eBay. Tick lass. I give them away as presents. Um worse than that. Yeah, it looks exactly like a ballpoint pen. It's got the button on the end like a ballpoin. And when you push it down, it a little fishing line noose protrudes out. So obviously you loop that around the tick, and then when you let go of the button, it pops it out. Well, it puts the tension on it real tight, and then you just do you do slow or fast or I do when I pull it out, you can't. I usually do it slow.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:23

Yeah, I feel like the head, not squeeze anything.

But I'm really excited about that cake, it's all I can think about. It's that cake. Yellow cake chocolate icing, but I mean it's good. Yellow cake is good chocolate icing. How big is it?

This is this one's in a nine by thirteen, that's called a sheet cake, too, right? It's just a one layer, yeah. Some people make it on a sheet pan, but I just made it in a nine by thirteen because my mom's making a strawberry cake and she's making a nine by thirteen.

I'll go play Galaga.

SPEAKER_17 1:37:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:39

What do we got? So here we go. Alright, here we go. Hey Gator, hey Slice Bird. First, I agree that the parent pickup line is nuts, right? Okay, there you go. We have a loop around our building that has two lanes, one for pickup and drop off, and then one for people going to park. The lane for the parking shouldn't have people stopping to drop their kids off. Exactly, exactly. Every day someone thinks Oh wait, sorry. Every day someone thinks that the rule doesn't apply to them and they stop and let their kids out. It pisses me off so much. I can't road rage as them because I work there. If I could give them the finger, I would. I hope they have to do it. She sounds as pissed off as you. Hope they all have the day they deserve. Yeah, so do I. Next, we live very close to DFW Airport. Nice. But not really Fort Worth. We'd be into meeting up for barbecue somewhere. Our favorite is Hard Eight. There's a place in the stockyards called Cooper's that has good ribs. Now we're talking. Hard 8 is a place where you get in line, tell them what kind of meat or meat you want, and they slice it right there for you. Perfect. The absolute best. We're going to Hard 8. Hard 8. Hard 8 is not far from the airport, also. August is the worst time to come to Texas. It is hot. I guess you'll be alright since you're from Florida. Anyway, that's all I got for now. Thank you, Eleanor. Thank you, Eleanor.

SPEAKER_17 1:38:56

I'm gonna go right now. Hard 8 and look at um I'm gonna look at our flight. Right. Which is in the end of August. Look at this. We're this trip isn't until August. We're already making plans. I love it. Yeah, we already got plans for it. For some reason, it didn't show up on my calendar. I gotta work on that. What is an American? It's an American.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:15

Did I let me see? Hard 8.

SPEAKER_17 1:39:18

Now that's a good um that's a good name for uh barbecue spot. Get G and V to DFFW right here, and we're about to find out. We arrive on oh wow. We arrive at 8 50 a.m. local time at 8 50 a.m. local time. So we're not gonna be able to go then. What about when we come back? We're coming back on Monday. Uh oh. We well, we probably gotta get to the airport around noon.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:45

Right, because the flights at 1.16 local time.

SPEAKER_17 1:39:48

Uh it hardly gives us time either because you'd have to get there at 11. You can try to get there at 11.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:52

Well, maybe they open at 10. We can go at 10.

SPEAKER_17 1:39:54

Anyway, we'll try to go on the day we leave, which is August the 31st. All right, we could we could we could do lunch before we leave. But we need to be at the airport about noon. So hopefully, if it's close enough to the airport, we can go when they open at 11. Usually is when they open. But if we miss our otherwise, yeah, we get there at 8 50 in the morning. Not gonna get fired. We'd have to hang around for two hours. That's fine. We can go get coffee or something. Anyway, so thank you. Let me get the mail here. We got to do it quick because uh I I drove here with uh Eric, as you all know, and uh he's waiting on you. He's waiting on me, but it's all right. Well he's gotta wait because we're this is the mailbag.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:33

This is the mailbag, bro. Here we go. So we got Texas barbecue, we got Buzz Rout Weekly Update, blah blah blah. What? That's Sashcast. Okay. Uh 56 downloads, right? Pretty respectable. 56, not too bad. All right. Um Shell Dog, here we go. Here we go, Shell Dog. So I already know I'm gonna like this email by the subject. What is it? Too much dominoes. Too much? Too much dominoes. Okay. Okay, hey fellas, shell dog here. Woof woof. My dad was in town for the past two weeks helping me out after ACL surgery. In the two weeks he was here, we ate Domino's three times. By the third time, he didn't want any more Domino's pizza, so I ordered him the mac and cheese, which he said was really salty, but otherwise not bad. I didn't know Domino's had mac and cheese. I didn't either. That leads me to my question. How many times a week do you think you eat pizza? I like it how he said, do you think you eat pizza? Not how many times a week do you eat pizza? How many times do you think you eat pizza? Alright, so let me finish up and then we'll answer it. If you meet Grummy at a diner in Denver, they likely won't have grits, as we uh surprise it. They're more often served at hipster dipshit brunch places with shrimp for $26. Yeah, okay, that's right. My favorite diner was a place called Breakfast Inn, but it closed this past year. Grummy may know some spots though. Take care and enjoy your travels, best shell dog. So how many times a week do you think you eat pizza?

SPEAKER_17 1:41:53

There's just it it's an evolution because there's a time when I ate pizza twice a day, and I would eat pizza easily ten times a week. Right, easy. But now it's probably twice. Like I had pizza two nights ago. Yeah. Um I usually eat pizza twice a week. I'm down to twice a week.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:42:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:09

I probably eat that's probably the same for me. Like I make pizza every Friday night. Every Friday night. But then like during the week, what does Calzano count? Because I make usually a calzone work. So I don't so I'll get a slice or I'll make a calzone work like once a week.

SPEAKER_17 1:42:21

I'd say two to three times a year. Two to three times a week. Same thing. Yeah, but two to three times. I feel like we should we need to up those numbers. No, I think that's pretty respectable. He had three times in two weeks in fact on the city.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:29

That's just too much extra, yeah. But the mac and cheese, though, I don't know. Sounds pretty good getting it. I don't know. A little too salty, but I wouldn't I don't know if that sounds good. All right, here we got one from Emmy Lou. Teams call. I'm sure Eleanor and Paul would hang out with you guys in August. Grummy will also hang out with you in June. I'm sad I'm missing all the meetups. It is it is uh no, Emmy Lou of all people is gonna miss all the meetups. Which is funny because that was like the minute I saw that this concert was happening in uh Fort Worth, I was like, oh, this is perfect. We're going to Tulsa. That's what I said. That was like Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_17 1:42:59

So but it's kind of ironic that like that that was kind of like We didn't really plan to go to drive to Tulsa though for this trip. No, we didn't, but in I in my imagination I did. Yeah, but you say that now, and I'm thinking like maybe I should have, but it's probably I don't want to do a bunch of driving when I've already traveled somewhere. I just want to drive too much. You say it's two hours? Something like that, yeah. Two hours isn't that bad. But I don't we're gonna have to make another trip just if we're gonna.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:20

But they're gonna be in uh in Colorado, yeah. Alright, so that's the team's call. We'll we'll play it out. Come back to that. All right, here we go. Another one from Eleanor. Yes. The subject, Florida Man energy.

SPEAKER_17 1:43:31

Oh, I want I saw that picture and I wanted to read that article, and I never did.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:36

Eleanor says, hey gang, this news story is giving some real Florida man vibes. It happened near where we live. It's really just a classic case of someone with too much time and money, but I thought you'd enjoy. Uh so here's the headline with the with the amazing picture. Read that story. Driver intentionally drove Cybertruck into North Texas Lake to use vehicles wade mode, police said. Well, and it looks like the truck is weighed, is like it might be sinking. So it turns out you uh a cyber truck isn't you can't it doesn't function as a boat, you know.

SPEAKER_17 1:44:08

First responders had to remove the cyber truck from the Grapevine Lake. I mean, they said the entire driver intentionally drove drove. Is that him? It's gotta be. That's the guy? Oh, he looks really dumb. I mean, he doesn't look dumb. He just you wouldn't expect an old guy like that, so you think he'd know better. I mean it's it's kind of tempting though, right? You were like, I got this cyber truck, let's see, let's put it to the test. They responded at 8 o'clock, saw they found the cyber truck in the lake. Uh partner said the driver, Jimmy Jack McDaniel, told them he intentions drove the vehicle in the lake and tried to use the Wade mode feature. However, the Cybertruck is disabled and took on water. Problem. Obviously.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:45

Jimmy Jack, that's the name of Jimmy.

SPEAKER_17 1:44:47

Police said that Jimmy Jack McDaniel is charged with operation vehicle in a closed section of the lake not having a valid boat registration and other water safety equipment violations. Uh you don't have do you have a boat? Do you have a boat? Do you have a boat registration?

SPEAKER_04 1:44:59

The uh the you know, the land registration, the automobile registration, but not the nautical registration. That's different. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_17 1:45:09

Wow. What a good what joke is. Yeah, obviously. It's not it's a car. Oh my gosh. All right, well, it's got a change. I'm really glad that you sent us that because I saw that and I really wanted to read it, and I never thought about it until now when I saw it again. Um so this is a little bit of a weird episode because you know, just the way it worked out today. He has a couple hour window. I had these two guys that I was hanging out with, and it was like, well, you guys were gonna just record, and they were like, whatever. Like they kind of rolled their eyes, they don't they don't care. But um so I don't I think that it was hard to hear us all at this table. I think you're probably right. So I think this is one of those episodes people might be just fast-forwarding until they find the gets to next week we'll redeem ourselves. Yeah, next week, yeah, next, but it you know, this it it's no rules. No rules. Just we want to come to Hogan's Hero and have lunch with a couple guys, a couple guys talking about whatever. It is what it is, you know. We don't even I don't even have my instrument with me, Sliceberg. Oh, I brought mine. Well that was in the car. Well, let's let's go. I don't know what happened to Eric now, but I know he's waiting for it. He's probably at the bar. He said he was gonna play Galaga, but he didn't play Galaga. Let's go. Hey, thank you guys for uh having lunch with us today at Hogan's. That was fun. And uh I'll put pictures of our sandwiches on our Instagram. And uh we never even introduced the podcast because we don't really need to. You know, you know where you're at. Right. You know, you know you never know what to expect. But uh next next week we'll be in a quiet spot and we'll talk about really important stuff. I can't wait. And funny stuff. I can't wait. This was a long one, though. That was a long less. Love y'all.
