Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:00

All right. Well, this is um what do you call this? Like a surprise. Like a surprise. Like a it's not really a surprise podcast. It's uh slightly unplanned. It's it's totally unplanned. Totally unplanned. I mean, we plan them because we do them on Thursdays. Right. But the but now we're doing it, but today it's Wednesday. So here we are doing the podcast. Just because we were hanging out, and and I thought, oh, this will be fun. Like I can go hang out with Brian and we don't have to do the podcast. And now all of a sudden we're doing the podcast. Well, it does make sense. Like it just gives us tomorrow off, you know. Yeah. Like tomorrow we can we can we I mean we're already hanging out. I was gonna say we were gonna probably do this same thing anyway, tomorrow. We're gonna do it. Yeah, now we can kind of whatever like we'd be we'd be hanging out all day catching up, and then tomorrow we wouldn't have anything to say. That's true. And we would say, Oh, too bad we didn't weren't recording that because we you know we talked about that yesterday. Yeah. Oh yeah. Remember yesterday we were talking about anyway. Um, I uh my name's Gator. My name is Sliceberg. Uh you know what podcast you're listening to. I mean, you probably know our name. Like, I we've decided we don't basically we don't need to introduce I don't I mean, I don't know. I feel bad about that. It's just it's such it's so uh standard and it's so ingrained that. We want to be cutting edge. We would be cutting edge. If we I guess it would be cutting edge to not say the name of the podcast, or our names for that matter, right to just get on here and just yeah, I don't know. I don't even know what to do anymore. Yeah. Um my internet was out yesterday. Mine too. Because we lived close. That's right. But you know what? Wade at work, his was out, and he's in Windsor. He's like, yeah, he's way out there. You think it was uh an attack from Iran? Probably, yeah, probably. Dude, I was uh we were trying to get on the internet, as you do sometimes, and it's and it was that and it wasn't working, so I restart the router. Did you do that? I certainly did. It's the first thing I did, yeah. And then I went and I was like, how how do I figure out if it's out in our neighborhood? So I go to this, I go put up like you know, the internet like Cox outage map. We where I live, yeah, we can only get Cox. Same here. Except my neighbor reminded me that we could also get Starlink. Starlink. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. They have that. Our neighbors have that. Yeah. So um, and but then I and then I had mentioned that to Wade because I was like, we can only get cocks. Yeah, or Starlink. Yeah. And Wade's and Wade sent me the thing, and it was like, to get Starlink, uh-huh. I want to say it's I wanna say I think it was like $250 down, or it might be $500. Could it be $500 to get Starlink? Yeah, but $500, like, but then you gotta pay like every month. But could it be that much just to like well yeah, because it's like you gotta buy the satellite dishes. Yeah, he says five hundred and twenty-one doll to initially activate. Uh-huh. And what, $130 a month? For speeds that Cox gets for $90. That's how much I pay for my Cox. $90. Yeah, so we're paying $90. Yeah. And for $130, we could get it from Elon Musk. Right. Plus the $521. Right. Doesn't seem like a good deal. It doesn't. Um, it doesn't. Like if I was if there until recently, I couldn't even get the cable internet. I mean, recently, um probably it was five years ago when we finally got it. But um but yeah, like I guess what I'm trying to say is if that's your only option is Starlink. Like if you live like way out in the days, yeah. That's not that's a great option. Then whatever. But but but since we got cable, you know, so then and then and then everybody hates Cox. Of course we do, yeah. I I've got my daughter's got ATT. It seems to work fine. Okay. At the beach, we've got Xfinity, right? It's really fast. Seems to work fine. I don't have any problems. Never mind. Cox, problems all the time. Oh, yeah. Cox sucks. And um, so everybody hates Cox. And then I so Wade said at work, he said, Well, I hate Cox, but I hate Elon more. And my wife, and this isn't political because this is just uh, you know, he's not even a political figure, right? We can talk about it. Right, he's just a figure in the business case, he's a business figure, whatever. And then Caroline, my wife says, I'm not giving that man my money. So, anyway, that we basically you're back to no to have Cox. Right, yeah, that's what's as sucky as it is, that's what you got. So I go and say Cox Outage Map, and I'm trying to get it up, but because of where we live, the Verizon, which is the best we can get out here. Right. That that's saying something that that's the best. I switched one time to ATT on the phone and drove home, and by the time I got home, I had no service. And I said, I had to turn around, go back, and say, forget it. I'm getting Verizon. Right, yeah, out here Verizon is the way you go. And we got one bar at our house. Yes. It's funny to hear you tell this story because you are describing to a T your exact experience yesterday. Try being so frustrated that the map wouldn't show up. The map won't show up because I only have one bar. It's like you're describing my life right now. And so finally you get something to show up. So, oh, the service is out in your area. Right. Did it say that? Yeah, yeah. And then it said, it will be back, right? At first it said 310. Mine said 309. 309. Oh, interesting. Yours said 310. Maybe I'm just I'm just rounding up, but I thought it said 310. Interesting. So it said 309, and it's like, I don't know, one o'clock or noon or early in the day. Right. Yeah, no big deal. It'll be on the street. Well, no, I I said, well, that's a long time. But I said, I, you know, what am I? I don't I don't care that much.

SPEAKER_05 5:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:32

But I'm in the studio and I'm wanting to listen to the news. Yeah. And I can't even listen to the news. Like I hit, I got hit listen, yeah, and it wouldn't, it wouldn't work. Right. It's not enough. It's not enough juice. Right. Right. It's not enough segments. My my mom would say gump to juice. Yeah. Um, and so we're driving right now. We're gonna go run some errands. Uh, and uh you know what you need when that happens? You need like a record player or a record player. Actually, have an old radio with an antenna. There you go. That's all I should just turn on my radio. That's all you need. I don't even think Spotify would. I don't even anything. No, it doesn't matter. I don't think it does. I don't think anything. There's not enough gumption. There's not enough gum. There's not enough gumption. When my mom's phone like is dying, she says it's out of gumption. So uh so then 309 rolls around and I look and it says, I don't look right at 309, but at some point I look and it says, Oh, it should be on. It's not working, right? And it says it'll be on by six seven oh nine. Yeah, that's what mine's at. 709 or 710? I thought it said 710, but it's like say 7.10 to you. I think it's pretty random. Yeah. Yeah, four hours away. So the 710. Well, the basketball game, I don't know if how much you're following sports these days. Well, I was just watching the tennis. Is that is tennis a sport? Yes, totally. We're gonna talk about that in the sports part. The basketball game my wife and I were gonna watch was at 8 30. Okay. So, but we but we had started a movie the night before. Right. Um, because uh she's when we go like we never we hardly ever watch movies. She likes to see stuff I don't want to see. Uh-huh. I want to see stuff she doesn't want to see. I hardly ever want to watch anything, but if I do, it's reality TV. Uh-huh. She wants to watch something, and I'm like, ah, it's too dark for me, or whatever. It's hard to find the common ground there. Yeah. And so we we just don't watch it. So I'm sitting there on my phone, and she's when she's scrolling through stuff, uh-huh, it's like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I I'm like, I would sit there and watch the trailer for this. Yeah, watch the trailer for that. Yeah. Oh, let's watch this for 10 minutes. Right. She just boom, boom, boom. Like she knows, like she can tell by the cover of the artwork. I mean, she already knows, yeah. I don't get it. So whatever. I can't look at the screen, that's for sure. So I um, so I look at the uh so I'm looking at my phone, and then she's like, Oh, what about this devil wears Prada? I'm like, Oh, I've been hearing I'd asked her the other day, what's up with Devil Wears Prada? Because I hear people talking about it. Well, I guess she's like, they made a um a sequel. Right. And I'm like, Well, what is that about? And she said, Fashion. I said, Okay. So that it was just a conversation in passing because I heard people talking about Devil Wear Prada. So then the Devil Wears Prada's on. And so I'm like, she's like, You want to watch this? I'm like, Yeah, let me let's see. I'll I this is what I tell her, babe, I'll watch anything. Yeah, now it doesn't mean I'm gonna like it, but I'll watch it. Her favorite thing to watch is stand-up comedy. She watched every stand-up comedy out there. Right. Now she starts watching stand-up. I'll sit there for five minutes, but if I don't laugh, I'm getting up and leaving. Because I'd rather be in the studio than to watch somebody try to be funny. It's not even that they're trying to be funny, it's just that it's not really making me laugh. Yeah. Now the audience is all gaffing because when you're in a live situation like that, you will you like the person, you know, you laugh, everybody laughs, it's contagious. Yeah. When you're sitting on your couch, you're not, I mean, they gotta be pretty funny. Yeah. I just don't find them that funny. Anyway, so she knows we're not gonna, that's what she would normally watch. So she's uh but I said, babe, whatever you find I'll watch. It doesn't mean I'm gonna like it. She knows I'm not gonna watch like some you know, horror movie or some super violent movie. That's not your thing. But but anyway, I just so when she said Devil Wars Prada, I said, sure. So we start watching Devil Wars Prada. Well, there's this cute girl in it named Anne Hathaway. Okay. You heard her? I've heard the name. I couldn't. If she was right by us, I would have never. If she walked right by, you your jaw would be down on the floor. Oh, sure. But I wouldn't say, oh, that's Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway, man. And this is 20 years ago when she's young and okay. Oh, so this is the original Devil Horse product. Yeah, because the new one's still at the theaters. Okay, okay, we're not. No, she played. Now it's a movie about the woman who uh was in charge of that um fashion magazine, right? Yeah, and that's Meryl Streep. Okay, yes, yes. I remember I didn't see this movie, but I know the Meryl Streep is in charge of the great Meryl Streep, the incomparable Meryl Streep. And Hathaway's pretty good too. She's been around the block. So she she's beautiful, and I love watching her, cute as she can be. Okay, and so I'm getting into it, and it's a cute story. I mean, it's a cute, you know, it's cute, whatever. And you know, she gets a job at this fashion magazine, but she's not fashionable. And so she's wearing like, you know, frumpy clothes into the fashion magazine, and they're just like rolling their eyes at her. Right. But of course, over the course of the movie, she kind of gets to be fashionable, right? Understand. And then she just looks better and better, her hair gets done better. Who knows where she can afford all these clothes? Right. She's got like the entry-level job at the magazine or whatever. Yeah, she's assistant to the Meryl Street. So we are watching this movie, and my wife, um, she can't stay up late. Well, I can relate to that, certainly. Yeah, she gets tired. So at one point she pauses the movie. It's been an hour and a half, and or maybe even longer, and it's got another half hour. And she's like, I can't stay up. And I'm like, okay, like me, I don't want to stay up either, but I don't really care about staying up. I just don't want to, I don't want to. I'm just like, fine, like this watch it tomorrow night. I don't care. Yeah. So I go to the studio, she goes to bed. So then then here it is yesterday. I'm back to yesterday where we have no internet. Yeah. And I'm like, how are we gonna watch double Anne Hathaway? You know, and we I was gonna watch Anne Hathaway before we watched the basketball game. And so, and now it says 7.09, which would give us time. So 709 rolls around, it changes, says 1109. 1109. It's gonna be ready. And you're like, uh, so then I'm like, well, let's hot snot it. Let's just hot snot it. And um, it's it's it's actually called hotspot.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 11:36

But I couldn't remember that, and I called it hot snot because I don't use it much. Close enough, yeah. The kids know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'm so she gets she actually figures it out. She goes and like Googles how do you hotspot, gets on her phone, hotspots it to her computer, which is a laptop. Okay. Now the laptop can plug into the projector upstairs. So you're watching the computer back to watching it on the projector. But she can do that hotspot with her Verizon phone. Yes, and it worked. It did. That's surprising to me. I would I would never expect that to work. Well, she said it's gonna be just it's gonna be just a scrolling, yeah, it's gonna be just a scrolling thing or whatever, but you know, and I'm like, let's just try it. Like it's better than nothing. Sure, yeah, you know? So we get on there, and first thing we do is we get the hotspot, we put it on the laptop. We don't want to sit there right next to the laptop together. Oh, but we could. We used to watch on big screen, put it on the big screen, a little HDMI, we have the cable. Yep. Any of those of you who are interested. Yep. And then uh we put up the Netflix and we and and we watch uh the last 30 minutes of the Devil Works product. That's right. It didn't even slow up. It was fine. We watched it. That's incredible, yeah. It I know. I was like, that means that that's Verizon, yeah, unlimited, you know. That's giving us the data's given us this, right? Yeah, the hot's not. The hot's not it worked. And uh, and so then we and then the game came on, and it was it if if and this is where we're gonna switch into a new mode. We don't even have our instruments with us, but that was this surprise podcast. That's what's so crazy about this podcast. Sometimes it's just like it'll just come out on a Wednesday. Yeah, it'd be like just randomly. Or it won't come out until a Friday. You just don't know. Um, so the so the the the there's these there's these semifinals, right? There's uh the New York Knicks against the Cleveland Cavaliers, okay, and they have to play the best of seven games. Okay. And then there's um the Oklahoma City Thunder versus the uh San Antonio Spurs. Okay. Best of seven games. Okay. The winner of those two games, right there. Is where I'm going? Yeah, you can't turn it on. Yeah, well, you can't turn it here, but that's where you're going. Right there. Correct. I see it. Okay. And so we're um so we didn't the Knicks versus the um Pacers. No, the Cavs. The Cavs wasn't a very good series. Like the Knicks were up. Um the Knicks were up two or three. Like the Knicks were just up, like the Cavs didn't even win it, win a game yet of the seven. It was like two, one nothing, two nothing, three nothing.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

And so last night, if the Knicks won, or two nights ago, if the Knicks won.

SPEAKER_04 14:26

So we didn't watch that series very much. I mean, I checked it out just to see right how the Knicks looked, right? You know? So the Knicks were dying. But last night it was the game we wanted to see, was the other one because it was two to two. It was tied two games to two games. Okay. Spurs against Oklahoma City Thunder, uh-huh. San Antonio Spurs. Nice. Right? That's one way right there. Yeah, we can be tipped. All right, let me turn it into this. Okay, that's what I'll do a lot or something. All right, so that was one of your and you and you're going, we're going over there towards Lowe's. Yep. Yep. So uh the so and and it's it's more exciting when you're watching two teams that I mean they're two and two. So they played four games. The Spurs won two in Oklahoma City. And it's not just the home team that won either. I mean, the Spurs beat them in Oklahoma, Oklahoma beat them in the in San Antonio. Yeah, they go back and forth. Right. So it's like it's a better contest. And so it's it's good. And and and Caroline and I, Caroline loves watching basketball. I like it fine. I I get a little bit, it's a little, I get a little bit bored. It's not the gators. If it's the gators, I've watched everything. But if it's not the gators, like I watch it, I like to know what's going on. Sure, yeah. And so I the thing is, like, the guy, this guy I know, Joe, got me into it. He started talking about it recently because I was getting my some work done in my mom's car, body work, and this guy Joe Lawton, who did the work, he was like, hey man, you see OKC da-da-da, OKC. He's a big OKC fan, so he's all excited OKC's gonna go. Right. So I was like, Oh, I need to be paying attention to this. This is what the people in the town are talking about, right? Yeah, this is the target of town. So I but I'm watching it. I like OKC fine, but I kind of want the Spurs. I feel like the Spurs are a little bit of an underdog, right? So you got I'm the same way. I would always want to root for the underdog in that in that kind of situation. Caroline feels like it's not fair because the Spurs have this guy that's seven and a half feet tall. Yeah, I remember. She's like it's not even fair. And I'm like, uh Wimby.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

Wimby.

SPEAKER_04 16:18

And I'm like, it that that's just the game. Like, it ain't like he's dominating. If he was dominating, it'd be one thing, but it's fair, it's a fair game, it's working out good. Right. So, anyway, last night it looked like the Spurs, like, so we so then we're watching the game off of off Verizon with the Hot Snap. And and there was a couple, well, first of all, the image wasn't super sharp. And there was it would kind of come and go, you'd get it'd get pixelated. Yeah. And then there was the times where you a couple times where you get the little, it would pause. Right, it's buffering. Buffering. But for the most part, we got to watch the game, and about halftime, I was like, man, the it looks like Oklahoma City's gonna win this game. And she's like, it's not even halftime yet. You don't know? And I said, I'm just making a prediction off the information that I have. Right. And so then I went to the studio, she went to bed, and uh, sure enough, Oklahoma City won. I should have been on FanDuel, but all the money that I did. Yeah, you could have made a little money. Bet all this money on that, but I did it. Yeah, you knew. Somehow you knew. Somehow I knew. So anyway, it's it's three to two. Um the uh the the the Oklahoma City. So so next time I think they play against tomorrow. I think it's every two days. Uh-huh. Oklahoma City wins.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

There you go.

SPEAKER_04 17:37

Oh man, we getting a little too far out there, buddy. Uh, so we'll see what happens. I'm I've been following that. And then supposedly, when you watch the Knicks, the Knicks, New York Knicks look so good that it looks like they're gonna dominate. And Caroline's like, look, they're getting all this rest time. Like, they're over, they're gonna rest for the next week. Whereas these two teams are playing, playing, playing, playing, and they look tired, they look ragged last night, man. It was their fifth game. Yeah, every two days they gotta run up and down that court. Yep. Rain, it's the playoffs, so they're going like a hundred. They're going hard, man. They're going so hard. So, anyway, I don't know. I think that I I mean, at this point, I'm gonna say the Knicks, but if they gotta do seven games, I'm gonna wait. And I'll only say that uh without even as much knowledge as I really need to say that, but just because of the rest factor does seem to make some sort of sense. It seems like they should just give them all a week off. Yeah, it seems fair, right? Like give get don't make these gay guys play after playing. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's um, I mean, it's gotta like yeah. I mean, you're just like going 110%, like gonna take it out of you. Man, they are just going at it. It's good though, it's fun to watch, and they got some good players. And uh, so yeah, uh, we we watched that, and uh that that's my supports talk. Now now you I heard we're watching um some kind of tennis. I was watching the tennis, the French Open. The French Open, what does that mean? That's the uh the iconic tennis tournament at uh Roland Gallas. That's like the name of the place where they do it. Are there other opens? Yeah, of course, there's the Australian Open. Australian Open? There's a US Open. Wait, what does the open stand for? Uh I I think I'm I have a theory about that. I don't really know. But I think in the it was originally called that in the old days, that it's like it's like an open invitation. Like anybody can come and you could go there? Well, I mean, today I couldn't, but if it was like a hundred years ago, maybe, like, you know, because back then, like, there was no such thing as professional tennis players, you know? Like there just wasn't. There were people who play tennis at countries. If you go there and you win, then you keep winning. It's an open, it's like you're guessing. Well, I think this is like literally a hundred years ago. I think for for obviously for many decades now, there have been professional tennis players. What is the and now it's not truly open anymore. What is the biggest tennis tournament in the world of? Well, of course, there's the four Grand Slam, right? So they're probably equal, but if out of the four Grand Slans, it's probably Wimbledon. It's the most likely. Okay, that's the one I've heard of. Right, Wimbledon because that's where Which was a couple months ago, right? Uh no, this is typically in like June or July. Uh, the next one. The the the Australian Open is always first, that's always in January. Okay. Because it's we know a lot about this. Uh it's summer. I said winter, but I meant summer. It's summer there. Okay. So they so they do the uh the Australian Open in January, and then the next one isn't until now, which is the French Open. Okay. Next month or in July is Wimbledon. But are all these slams? Yeah. So that's the third one is Wimbledon. Right. And then the last slam of the year is the US Open. A US Open, which is in the which is in Queens, and it's always like end of August, beginning of September. So sometime in September. And so are there is the same people in all of them? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.

unknown 20:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:48

Pretty much. So what were you watching today? Was it today? Uh just now, yeah, I was watching it. It was Djokovic. Did you have like when I walked in, it seemed like you had like, was there, I can't, I'm in my mind, it's like a tiny little TV or like a laptop screen. No, you're watching on TV? It's probably like a you want to say it's like a 50-inch TV. Oh, I don't know why I was. It's not enormous, but it's not tiny either. Yeah. No, I I thought it was like a little old time. In my mind, I thought you imagine. I wasn't very I wasn't paying much attention. I just I was like, was he watching a little TV? So you were watching the open. Yeah, the French Open. And and how long does that go on? Like all day or just yeah. I mean, right now it's still the first round, so they have matches all day. It's like it's kind of matches. So you can cat catch back up with it. Yeah, well, I'm not like I'm not that invested in it. I watch every I'm like doing my crossword puzzle, kind of watching it. I'm not like invested in it, you know, but I'm just like watching it. Um that's the sports talk. I feel like that was a pretty sports talk. Pretty good. Like I went pretty deep on um what was going on with the basketball, and you went pretty deep into why they call it open and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

And we did we did better than usual.

SPEAKER_04 21:52

Yeah, I feel like that was a good that was a uh really uh highly developed, very um expert sports. Now, I I know that you're um you're we're dropping you off at a at your car up here, which is another story we don't have to get into, but let's go ahead and look at. Do we have let's do some mail? Mail, yeah. Let's check it out. Mail bag. Well, we don't have any postcards. I know that. We don't have any postcards. Uh or maybe we'll I'm always worried that nobody's gonna send us any mail and that in my life is gonna be like sad. Like uh even Emmy Lou won't send us mail. You know, Jared kind of quit sending us mail. Well we can count on the side. Wayne stopped sending us mail. And we could always count on Snatch War Ray, too. Oh. That doesn't really count. Just keep going this way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna um you're gonna take a left on 16th. Okay. All right. Um Hey, look, hey, we got right off the bat, shell dog.

SPEAKER_02 22:45

Yes. Woof woof.

SPEAKER_04 22:46

Uh subject. Babcock coughing. Dear G Man SB. Gate. G Man Gator SB slice bird. Yeah. Man, these Babcocks and they're coughing. How do you cough? I like to pull my shirt up over my mouth, close my mouth, and then cough. However, if your last name is Babcock, you just open your mouth, stick your tongue out, and let everyone around you raundog the sounds and spit coming out of your mouth. It's crazy. Babcock. He's throwing them under the bus, isn't he? I'm not going to ask if I'm right about this and try to get you to take sides because I know I'm right. Also, I shouldn't say all Babcocks, just grummy and emmy. I'm not familiar with how Eddie or Eleanor pumped, but gone. I hope it's more subtle. Best, Sheldon. Well, thank you for that, Sheldon. Uh I like to put my um elbow, uh, the inner elbow over my mouth. What's that called? Like the crook of your arm? Yeah. Yeah, that's where I like that's where I feel opposite elbow, inside of the elbow. Now I remember now in the 80s when I was a kid, no, that was unheard of. Uh-huh. We would cough into our hand, and then eventually somebody realized, some some uh pathologist or some infectious disease expert said, well, if you cough into your hand, now you've got the germs all over your hands.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:00

Which until maybe the early 2000s, nobody thought of that. Yeah. But uh, but yeah, ever since that became apparent, I've coughed into the where you're talking about, to the elbow. Inside of the elbow. It's not elbow, because you can't really get around to your elbow, but the inside of your arm there. Um, I don't I'm gonna pull over here for a minute. Okay, yeah. I don't really, I don't really cough that much. I can't remember the last time I was really coughing, but if I was coughing, I'd pull up my shirt over my mouth and close my mouth. I like that, I feel like that's shell shell dog has a pretty good um system. Yeah, pretty good. I think that's all right. We're gonna sit here for a minute. All right, let's see. Uh okay, so this doesn't make sense, right? Buzzprout weekly weekly update. 739 downloads? How many? In more than a week? Yeah. Okay, so supposedly Buzzprout lying to us says we have 739 downloads. Were we discovered? Were we instantly discovered this week? I mean, uh like how else could it be that many? Like, I don't know. Like I mean, if it's 739, it's gotta be bots, right? Well, but why would bots? Yeah, it's not like we're bots can't listen. No, but it's not like but wouldn't like that, wouldn't it happen automatically? Like, if we wanted to juice the numbers and get some bots to play our podcast, we could probably manage that, but obviously we're not doing that. Okay, I got an idea. I got a theory. What is it? What if bots are are listening to for the like scraping the content for their AI AI purposes? Yeah, so you get so it's it's they would go through all of our how many do we have a hundred maybe or something? Oh, yeah. Let's say we have a hundred or yeah, let's say we have a hundred episodes, I don't know, and there's and they're going through and scraping our hundred, but like it almost seems like there'd have to be seven different bots, KI scrapers doing that. Well, maybe there are seven. I mean, this happened to us once before. Yeah, I remember that. It was like 500 one week. Yeah, and then we were like, oh, we're big time now, and just doing Netflix 40. Yeah. Well, we don't know why. Uh, if there's an extra 700 listeners out there, we're we're really glad you're with us. And our podcast is usually a little bit better than this. Well, I wouldn't wouldn't say that necessarily, but you know, I feel like this is a pretty good the sports talk is usually not that good. I mean, actually, we did better sports talk, and I didn't even get into like I mean, I was trying to give it that guy's remember last week we were at Hogan's. Oh, I remember then I was trying to give that guy's initials, so I was like, PFG, and we were looking, I was looking at a it's SGA is the Oklahoma City guy. S G A. I can't remember. What stands was that what you were saying? No, Wimby is the talk. Oh, and the Spurs, right? And SGA is on the on the Oklahoma City team, and he's just really good. Really good. Really good. He didn't he wasn't playing. And that's his initials, SGA. They called him SGA. I don't know why. But anyway, like, yeah, we like we didn't get deep into sports talk, but we didn't. At least we talked, we at least we talked about two different sports that are current. Right. So that was where we did good. Wait, we talked about basketball? What else? Tennessee. Oh, I thought today. I thought you did it last time. Yeah, yeah. No, today we did all right. We did better than usually last week. Usually that's true. Like, I feel like that's the first time we actually talked about two different sports. Right. Maybe might be. But anyway, so we we are real popular now. If you were listening, if you're listener, an old listener, then you can feel like, oh, I was listening to way back when like I know that guys way back when they did they weren't they they weren't even popular. Exactly. Do we have any more mail? Well, we got the one from Satchel. Okay. The subject, Hyundai. The body of the email is a picture of a Hyundai. That's the new truck that's gonna replace the uh Santa Fe. An AI generated um uh what's that what's it called when it's like an artist rendition? It's not the real, it's like there's a word for that. You know what I mean? It's like not it's not like a real picture of the actual thing, it's like an artist rendition, or it's like a I need you to come up with that word. There's a word of my tenant. Yeah, yeah, it's like it's like a um it's like a mock-up, but they're not that's not the word, it's another word. What's the other word? I don't know, but it's like a it's like a conceptual thing where it's not it's a concept, it's a concept drawing. Well, it's pretty cool looking, though. I didn't include the article, but basically they're saying that they're gonna replace the Santa Fe with the truck, and I think that's the truck which like they'll have a bed, but this one is just happy to be the covered version of the truck. It looks tough though, it looks tough as hell. Looks amazing. Yeah, tough. I'm gonna drive that. I think we need to make put that picture on our Instagram. I'll do that. Absolutely. I'll do that. Yeah, you got yeah. Um what else? Uh so um, yeah, that that that's it, huh? What about dog at least Rhodes? Uh what about the their the teams call? Did you did you put that in the feed? No. Did you not listen? Oh, I did listen, yeah, yeah. Now I remember. Yeah, I did listen, yeah. Yeah, I listened. We didn't get a teams call this week?

SPEAKER_01 28:53

Right.

SPEAKER_04 28:53

No, because I remember Uncle Tim was on the call. I remember. I wonder it was just it was still starred in the email. That's why I saw it, but I I do remember listening. I wonder if if we're like our star is waning. Well, how can we how can that be if we get 134 or 734 downloads? I know, but like at the same time, we if we got 739 downloads, you'd think we'd get at least 45 emails. Emails, yeah. Because usually we get 39 downloads and five emails, right? Right. So the personal video, yeah. Maybe we haven't made it clear to our newer listeners that we want to write to us? Right. We not only strongly encourage it, we almost rely on it. Well, we do because if we don't write to us, then we don't really have good material for the podcast. Like it's about people. That's literally why it's called for people. Right. Yeah, it's for people. So yeah, we want to we want to include the people. We want uh emails, of course. We absolutely welcome my fax number is uh 352-234-6766. Send me a fax. Um do you have a fax machine? No. I mean, a lot of people's printers are fax machines. Oh, that's true, yeah. Well, so uh yeah, the people should write in, and here's the thing. We're gonna do it anyway, more or less, because we're we're just we're having fun mostly. You know what my name on Reddit is? I'm expecting a fax. That's my Reddit name, my Reddit handle. I'm expecting a fact. Do you have any? That's pretty good, uh, acres of dog shit. Do you have any so we you can write to us, number one podcast uh for people at gmail.com. You can go to our Instagram, which I don't think we're gonna have. We need to maybe take a picture. Yeah, well, we got the we got the the the the artist concept drawing of the Hyundai, so at least we got that. Um the love bugs, we did that, we already did that last. Oh, yeah, you did you had a good love bug picture. Well, yours was good too. I was alright. Yeah, I wouldn't see yesterday. I was taking the leaf blower and I was blowing the corpses off the porch. Oh, I've been I've done that six times, and there's and and by the time I'm done, uh we can as you know, we have a big porch, but still by the time I get to the one end, I go back and there's already more. It's just it's absurd. We oh man, we've blown so many dead corpses like big blacks like piles. Thousands. It is thousands of and then you know, if you're okay, so this is this is what I'm curious about. Are there love bugs in Oklahoma? Are there love bugs in Colorado? Are there love bugs in? I looked up love bugs and they're and then in the south. Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia. That's it. Yes. Okay, that's this is I look this uh I just assume because growing up in Florida, they're so ubiquitous, so iconic, so ever present. I just assume that they're everywhere, but that's not they're an instant. Yeah, people are probably like, what are they dealing with though there?

SPEAKER_03 31:42

They probably feel sorry for us a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 31:44

Yeah, almost, but uh but when you think about it. I'm thinking about it. Uh consider all of the insects that we have in Florida, right? Yeah. And compare it, compare them to love bugs. Love bugs don't bite. Nope. They're um they don't uh I mean like they're it's like it's like quantity, right? That's that's what they're you know, they get all your car. That's the worst part. The only the only downside of the love bug I can think of is that they do uh get smushed all over the front of your car. But except for that, I can't think of I love the love bugs. Yeah, I'd rather have love bugs than mosquitoes. That's what I'm saying. Like mosquitoes bite, they're the worst. What about roaches? And they make noise. Roaches, I I don't love roaches, but I don't I'm not uh They're not biting. They're not biting, but but it's there's something about the cockroach that most people find so um what's the word objectionable. So so that makes people uneasy. And I can see why, but I'm not I'm just kind of like, yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 32:41

Yeah, I don't see many roaches because we get the pest control. Right. Well, there you go.

SPEAKER_04 32:45

Yeah, I mean I'm like yeah, sometimes we see them, but I see a dead roach now and then. Sure, yeah. Do you get pest control? What in your house? Yeah. Of course not. I didn't think so. Of course not. I mean, we don't I mean, if we had like major issues with it, I would look into it. But we don't like we get sometimes we get some ants in the kitchen, but I get the little, you know, the little ant things is fine, like you don't want the poison around the house. Not really. I mean what about poison under your arms? Do you you wear uh you you you you put on uh uh deodorant? I do it every day, but I get uh I use Tom's of Main un unscented. Okay. So I feel like it's I feel like it's slightly better, but it's probably just as bad as any other. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. The scent is what I object to. Like yeah, I feel like you go you go to the store, and same, you know, same with any product, but like especially deodorant, like they've got like literally 75,000 kinds of deodorant. Yeah, and one of them is unscented. You know what I mean? Like they're it's not easy to find. Like everybody wants that scent for whatever reason. Yeah, huh. That's interesting. Or like anything, like uh same with like the laundry detergent. Oh, we do unscented. Yeah, of course. It's gross. I mean, we're happy, like you are. Yeah, right. You know, of course you're doing unscented. I just got my my bottle of Dr. Brunner's, that's all I need. Like, yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what I'm a little bit down about today is I didn't hear from Oklahoma, bro, who's like our regular dealer's Oklahoma, bro. You know, like I was like, oh bummer, no fan mail from Oklahoma in my uh internal dialogue. Oklahoma bro is like one of our, he's become one of our better writer inners. Sure, absolutely. You know? Yeah, and last time, what did you say last time he was talking about smoking brisket, right? Yeah. I want it, I want to try that. Oh man. Now, we we we took we we decided that we're going to uh we're going to Fort Fort Worth. Right. And we're gonna try to, and we're gonna look into trying to maybe on that Monday on our way out, maybe meeting for lunch. I don't know if that's gonna work because we it's the timing. I gotta see how far is it from hard eight to the airport? If they open at 11, can we be at the airport by 12? Yeah, we'll do all that research. Yeah, we'll do some research there because we get there at nine in the morning. Now we don't have to. Here's the other thing. Instead of going to Hard 8, maybe we go get when we get there at 9, we're gonna be ready for a big breakfast. You got that right, and we're right there at Dallas Fort Worth. You got that right. So why don't we do a shout out to who are we shouting out to? Eleanor? Eleanor and Paul, yeah. Eleanor and Paul about and the twins about possibly meeting us for breakfast on that day. That would be super fun. If you guys can do that, that would be awesome. Yeah, we could meet at like 9 30, like a little late breakfast or something because we're gonna be getting off the plane. Then we don't have to be rushing at the end to get the barbecue. We'll get barbecue when we're there somewhere. Certainly. But maybe you know a good breakfast place. I mean, if it's between the airport and Fort Worth, that's great. Yeah. But you know, we don't want it to be too out of your way. No, is we got we'll we'll come to you. We can come by your house. That's fine. Anyway, so that's something that and then the other thing is I'm going in a couple pretty soon I'd be going to to Denver. That's right. You're gonna visit me, but you know the thing about Grummy is she's not much of an emailer, so she can't email and say, Oh, that's me. Well, you know, you know what you do is send her a postcard. Well, I think she's listening, so I'm sending her a an a verbal postcard. Verbal postcard right now to but and and hey, if grummy's not up for for hanging out, that's cool too. It's me and my daughter. We're using no, yeah, we're using go. But you're not there, but any, but it, but me, but but yeah, I don't care. But like, but we could, but if Grummy could send us a postcard now, right, and say, hey, uh, when you're in Denver, uh, we, you know, okay, so we get there on a Friday. We're gonna be on Saturday going to Meow Wolf. Oh, heck yeah. All right, heck yeah, that's gonna be awesome. And then the time to do it would be potentially, but see, we got stuff to do with my daughter. She we're only there Saturday, Sunday, Monday. And we're leaving Monday morning at some point. I don't know when, but okay. Maybe it could be Monday morning. Yeah, Sunday. Anyway, it might be just it could even be a cup of coffee, something, you know? Yeah. I mean, it would be cool to meet Grummy. Oh, yeah. I think it'd be cool to meet Grummy. I would love to meet Grummy. Yeah, well, I'm hoping that's gonna happen. Yeah. All right, so we're going back to your car, right? Yeah, I think you have to because I don't think you can, I think you have to get to it off the 16th, huh? Yeah, well, that's cool. I'm doing we we pulled over on the side of the road because I he I'm dropping him off in his car, and and and you don't need to know about all that. It's kind of boring. It's kind of a boring dual story, or we would tell you. But long story short, I need a ride to the car so I can pick it up. That's I know. And listen to this, y'all. So he needs a ride, and he lives, you know, half mile. How far is it? Half mile down that dirt road, that bumpy road to your house? I think it's about a half mile, yeah. About a half mile. And so he needs a ride. He says, Hey, can you guys give me a ride? When you guys, me or my wife, can one of you guys give me a ride? Like, I gotta go pick up Sarah's truck, blah, blah, blah. He goes, I can walk down to the hard road. Like, he's willing to like walk down the road so that we don't have to drive down the dirt road to get him. Well, it's not really nice of you, but like, it's all right. We can drive down the dirt road to get you. But it's it's it's it's a nice, but I just thought like that. That's being so considerate, right? You don't want to ask anybody for help. You don't be like, hey, give me a ride somewhere, right? I'm already putting you out. You're already where I want to put you out even more. So let me just walk down to where and you don't have to come down my terrible road twice, right? You know, yeah, there to get you and back. But it's totally fine. And I need to I needed to go to Lowe's, and actually, uh one of the things we could have done is gone to Lowe's because of the paint that I needed, but I'm like, I'm not gonna like that's the thing. I'm being considerate. I'm like, I'm not gonna make him go to Lowe's and go to the paint counter with me. Well, sometimes that can be fun, you know. We could get a lot of there's a lot of material that we could that we could cover. But you know, I've got to actually I gotta go to I'm going to Lowe's later. Later today. Yeah. But I'm going, I'm returning an AC that's in my car, so I don't need to be back here. Why are you returning it? Well, I bought it yesterday, and it turns out that the one I thought I was gonna replace, it's still working. Uh I thought it was completely broken, but it turns out it, long story short, I don't need the new one yet. Uh so I'm just gonna return it. But when you say yeah, if you're gonna need it later, why wouldn't you just hang on to another one? I don't know, good question. And then the other thing is when I went to pick, I bought it online, right? And I go in there to pick it up. And the the guy loads it on. First, he tells me, get the regular bugging, you know, the shopping cart. Yeah. And I think, like, there's no way this thing is gonna fit. It's an air bigger. It's a big and it's a big one too, you know. So I'm like, um, that's not gonna work. So I go out and get like the flatbed thing, yeah, and I come in there, and I thought we were gonna both pick it up and put it on there, but he just like grabs it and basically just throws it right on there. Like he put it down like really hard. Uh and now I'm sure it's probably fine, honestly. But I was just like, man, like I hate that. I just spent $500, almost $600 on this thing. And you just talk about it. And you just like, yeah, like, come on, man, give me a break. Like that, and so that that left a bad taste in my mouth. So I was like, I don't even want this thing. But but but I'm I got lucky because I think I think it looks good. I think the other one works. Well, but what do you what like explain to me how you think it didn't work? Like, what I think it's this right here. What is the not happening? Like well, it was leaking. It was leaking, and now it's not. What did you do to make it not leak? It didn't fix itself. Well, that's true. But I did I I I shut it off and I kept it off for like a few days. So it could have been that it was frozen up. I think it was frozen up, maybe. And yes, and you thawed it out. I think so. But when you turn it off, leaking? Uh when it would keep leaking. Well, that's true, because it would keep thawing. That's true. I didn't think of that. Um yeah, that's a hell of well first of all. I think you should figure out how long you have to return it. Uh 30 days? Probably 60 days, 30 days. Because if you have 30 days, I would wait and use that thing. I wouldn't go back and get it again. Yeah, I'm gonna turn around. Yeah, I guess that's true. I yeah, I don't know. It's in my car, so like I can just even keep it. You could just keep it in your car. I don't know, it's kind of not if I need to deliver pizza here, right? Yeah, I don't I wish I could help you with that, but I I I think if you bought it, you bought it for a reason. Yeah, I I bought it because I thought but that see the thing is, and then I was driving to Lowe's to get it. Look at that. Yeah, that's cool looking. But like we have one of those in front of satchels, it does not look like that healthy. Are they that one looks green? Are they fertilize the shit out of it?

SPEAKER_00 40:57

Can you get a picture of that for the tell them that so people see the kind of cactus I'm talking about that I think is beautiful? Yeah, what kind of like we have one in Friday for Statch, but it does not look anything like that. It looks so bad. It's been there for 20 years. Okay, that it should look just like that big, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 41:13

Anyway, I don't know. This neighborhood's really nice. Yeah, let's look at this mailbox. Let's get a picture of this mailbox. Because that's a really uh like go up a little bit so you can get those clouds on the top, right? Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, that's cute. Yeah, cute, very cute. Cute mailbox. 2222. How do you like that?

SPEAKER_01 41:32

They're the people with the with the cactus. Yeah. Two two two two has the cactus.

SPEAKER_04 41:38

Oh my gosh. The things that happen out here in in the in the in Northwestern. In the suburbs, it's a nice neighborhood. Oh, sure is, man. Sure is. Okay, well, all right, that was fun. Tomorrow take the day off. I mean, you could go to work. Well, I'm gonna go to work at a minimum.

SPEAKER_01 41:56

I'll go to work.

SPEAKER_04 41:57

What did you what did you did you did you see the nice new shelves I put in? Oh, I was I was I was just uh drooling over it. Yeah, and that and that uh that corner, yeah. It looks like it's shiny, it's like it's a dream. Yeah, we try. I went in there this weekend. I went in there on Monday and I was gonna um do all this work in the walk-in. And when you what happens is Saturday, by the end of Saturday night, everything in the walk-in's like empty. So you restock it on Tuesday when I come to work. Close Sunday, Monday. So I go in there on Mondays, do projects in the walk-in because there's nothing in there. Well, I come in and then and then Sliceberg here was there on a Monday, which is our work closed. He has made all the dough, stacked up to the ceiling, all the cheese, stacked up boxes and boxes of cheese. And I'm like, bro, like I'm supposed to like, don't didn't you get the memos? There was no memo. There was no memo. But the point was, like, now we have to take all this dough out, all this cheese, whatever. Anyway, and then so I could work in the walk-in and made it real nice. But I feel like it was like uh there was there were three of us, so there was that was like quick. We need to leave. So then he finished, and I was like really wanting to ask him if he'd stay and help us put everything back in the walk-in because it was the timing was right. But I felt bad. I was like, it was kind of like I felt like I would, you know, like let me walk out to the hard road instead of making me walk out to the hard road. But I was like, hey, and then so you stayed around and it it really helped because we put it back together in 15 minutes. Yeah, but then I then you I was like, hey, you want to go, we're gonna get lunch, and you're like, No, I gotta pick up somebody. I thought, oh shit, like were you late because of me? Because I made you stay an extra 15 minutes or 30 minutes? I wasn't doing uh I wasn't doing anything. You had to go pick up Georgia or something. Uh did I? That was Monday though, because uh Monday was no school. Uh you said you had to go somewhere. I said, We're going to get a burger. Yeah. Went to Cato. Oh, oh yeah, yeah. I had to take oh, that's right. No, I had to take Betsy. She wanted to go to the arcade. Uh I had already told Betsy I could give her a we had therapy. Me and Sarah had therapy at two. Oh, you were running. Wherever you went, you were tired. I had to like get get home. I I wanted to let. Betsy go hang out with her friends. So I just had barely enough time to let go, drop off Betsy at the arcade and then come back. What's the arcade? Dragon Reds. Oh, okay. So the other thing that we didn't mention is that Sean, right, was I'm sure you heard about this. Sean was charging the battery for his mower in his laundry room and it caught fire. I did hear about this. And then he texted me later and said, My house just caught fire. I had to call the fire department. Blah, blah. So then I'm thinking, like, did he work today even? Was he like he was no? Today he he he did not work. I worked for him today. Oh. Because he had the whole thing. I did the whole thing. It was dead yesterday. And he and Sean, uh, which I appreciate very much. I think he did a little extra prep yesterday. Okay. Just to make like my day easier. So between the fact that we were super dead. Well, the day after Memorial Day is always really slow, but it was slower than usual, even. Yeah. So you didn't have a lot of prep. No, no, it was the brain is like so did he come in today? No. No, he didn't come. So you have, but when did you talk to him about his fire? Yesterday afternoon. Did he call you? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, because he's probably freaking out. Yeah, he was. Well, or you know, if you have an electric motor, like now I'm worried about my damn mower batteries. I mean, he happened to be home, right? Yeah. And he and he smelled it, right? He says, I don't know how that happened, but I'm like, dang, like, if that happened in my shop where my batteries are, yeah, my shop would burn down. It's pretty unsettling that like those batteries could just spontaneously combust. Well, and can he sue that company? He he should sue that company. I mean, it sucks to sue somebody. Well, but they shouldn't have they can't if it's gonna spontaneously combust and burn your house down. I mean, that's not acceptable. It really got me worried, like I should go to my batteries over there and just like take them off the charger. But he said it wasn't on the charger. He said it was just sitting there. What? Yeah, I asked him. Had he just mowed? Uh that I wonder if it was hot from mowing. That I don't know. If that was if that if that was the case, he didn't mention that. I wonder if he put it on top of the stove. Yeah, I wonder, like, right, exactly. I wonder if uh well not the stove, but like what if it was like next to the dryer or something? You know what I mean? Like like like I wonder if there was some external factor that that we don't know about that caused it. Um because just just the idea that it can just spontaneously combust out of nowhere is pretty unsettling, right?

SPEAKER_02 46:18

Do you want to talk about unsettling? I mean, I don't want to in the in the podcast this way, but I mean sometimes when it comes up to mind, you know, that's how we go. That's how we roll.

SPEAKER_03 46:26

Are these people I hope they're okay that we're sitting out in front of their house? Yeah, they don't look they have a cool-looking palm tree.

SPEAKER_04 46:32

Yeah, that's it. They um they this lady in South Carolina, she was out to dinner Saturday night, uh-huh, and a wind came by and blew an umbrella and hit her in the neck because she died on the scene. Freak accident. Freak accident, dude. Like umbrella, you know, blowing out and then hitting you in the neck in the artery that like right. Just you just bleed out. Just punched you in the neck. And the thing is, is like I have I'm just like, oh man, that's hard. Because I as a restaurant owner, yeah, I'm like, oh shit, I got a bunch of umbrellas. I think they all have bolts through them. I would hope so. I think that every one of them has a bolt through it holding place. Doesn't mean the bolt can break, or it doesn't, you know, it doesn't mean it's just like scary. That is scary. Oh, and it was a freak accident, is what it is. Yeah, it's not one in a billion. Oh my gosh. I mean, why are you just like things catch on fire and other things? People die. But but on a good note, yeah, we're still here. Yep. 739 people downloads this week. We're here podcasting. We're podcasting for the bots. All right, bro. Thanks. Good to see you. Yeah, thanks for arriving. Uh let's uh what are we gonna call this? Uh do we have a name? What do we do? It was sports, a lot of sports talk. It was uh we talked about gumption. Uh let's just call it gumption. Well uh hot's not. Hot's not. I like that. That's the name. All right, hot's not. Thank you. Uh that's the hardest part for me is figuring out what to call it. Yeah, yeah, I gotta say, typically you do a pretty good job. Like uh uh, I feel like I'm not good at that coming up with a funny name, but uh, I feel like not even picking up the children's. Yeah, that's a good one. It's a good one, yeah. So when I saw that, I chuckled. Like I thought that was funny. Like I also thought it was funny how you were um criticizing me for making them walk like five minutes ago. Oh yeah. And I thought about you yesterday. Clean that up.

I didn't make them walk yet. Yeah, and then they were both like, oh, thank you so much for not making us walk. I was like, I figured the last day of school, I could you know, come on. And it was also so hot yesterday. Yeah, yeah. Like even for Florida, yeah. I thought yesterday was like especially hot. Yeah. Well, I've been hearing people say that. I haven't noticed it.

It says it's 102. It can't be. I guess I mean the heat index. All right, 102. It's not showing the heat index. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's showing the temperature outside of the car. In the shade, too. It's 102 in the shade in Florida, in north central Florida. Yeah, it's pretty hot, I guess. I guess I'm just used to it. I did run the AC tourist today. I noticed it. In the car.
