SPEAKER_05 1:07

Well, you uh you said you called me iceberg. Originally it wasn't sliceberg, it was iceberg, as an iceberg lettuce. And then pretty quickly um Shell Dog uh made a portmanteau of of slice and iceberg, and then it kind of morphed into slice burg, which is better actually. I'm glad that that's how it turned out.

SPEAKER_03 1:27

Slice because you make dough and work at a pizza place, so it's slice and the iceberg. So his favorite food is iceberg. His favorite food is iceberg. Okay, so we made the backstory.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

Yeah, well when we needed your favorite food is iceberg lettuce? Yeah. That was we did a few episodes on that.

SPEAKER_03 1:49

So I decided to call him iceberg or iberg, but then it turned into Sliceberg. But me, I thought Gator was sounded like a cool nickname.

unknown 7:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:12

And uh how'd it go? It went great. We had a we were there a long time. Uh the twins made a huge mess. Uh both Eleanor and Grummy are uh celiacs, so they had gluten-free pizzas. Me, my sister, and my daughter all shared a large pepperoni pizza, which was delicious. It was it's Colorado style, so it's got a really big crust and a lot of cheese and pepperoni. It was delicious. And and then with the crust, you um you put honey on it. You got this big, like it's almost like a pretzel at the end, and then they have honey on the table, and you you put honey on it. You dip it up, yeah. You or you just pour the honey on the crust.

SPEAKER_05 7:55

SPEAKER_05 7:59

Nice. I love that.

SPEAKER_03 8:02

I didn't get a picture, bro. Like, how do you go? How does this like I I took a picture while I was sitting there of you know my pizza and the twins in the background, uh but I didn't get like a like you know, like a picture picture. You know, like here we all are, like grummy, Eleanor, you just have a mental picture. Yeah, which is fine for me, but what about our dozens of listeners?

SPEAKER_01 8:28

You could draw it out like they do when they go into a courtroom.

SPEAKER_03 8:32

I could draw it, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Right? Like artists rendition artists. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 8:38

So, and then I made a recording, but it was um it just seemed it wasn't it it was just like I'd turn it on and off and on and off and on and off throughout the dinner that we had, the the pizza dinner. And a little bit after that, when I was watching the uh the final game five of the uh basketball, and I was like, this isn't very good. I'm not sure I want to release it. But now that I've talked to you, I'm gonna release it as a bonus to this real episode.

SPEAKER_05 9:07

Okay, so uh it'll appear in the feed.

SPEAKER_03 9:11

Yes, it will appear in the feed. Okay, nice. But uh I think that um we need a nickname here for Tom Keep. Oh, that was that's a whole that's a placeholder. Can we just use that as a placeholder?

SPEAKER_01 9:28

You haven't set up. Is this how you guys do this podcast? You just it's basically just a phone call that you're recording.

SPEAKER_03 9:35

No, we do it in person.

SPEAKER_01 9:36

Oh, you do it in person.

SPEAKER_03 9:37

We don't do it as a phone call. We've this is the first time.

SPEAKER_01 9:40

If your audience doesn't know anything about like where you are right now, that you're calling from my house on the West Coast. Like, you gotta set the stage for your audience. Yeah, I actually kind of agree with that.

SPEAKER_03 9:51

You have to like the intelligence of your thrown off because I I have you in front of me and him over there on the city. Okay, so where are you? So let's pretend we're gonna start again. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

And you start with the name of your instruments, I know you don't have your instruments. You don't have your instruments.

SPEAKER_05 10:07

So you know, well, I have mine.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

So okay, so he has his, and then just start it again and go, hi, we're here from and set the stage. I'm calling, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

What so so this guy you could tell is a director, right? I'm out here in California, and this is my thing. He's like so kind of he got to direct everything. You see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 10:26

I'm just I hey, I'm looking out for your viewers. Yeah, yeah, he's right. You gotta look out for your viewers.

SPEAKER_03 10:32

He's right. He's right. Hey, here we are, and uh we don't usually announce our podcast, but we just started the podcast. Uh I'm I've visited California and my friend uh Steve here, Steve Beebe in uh Ohio, California. And he's on the back porch. Oh man, he's got a lovely place here, a couple acres in uh foothills of the what do you call that? It sounds amazing. The beautiful world. Sounds strange. It's great.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

And so we've got we've got lawn work going off in the side, you know.

SPEAKER_03 11:02

I don't think they can hear that.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

They can't?

SPEAKER_03 11:04

No, I got a special system.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

I got a special system on your look. I have I look at I'm looking at one phone pointing at another phone. That's the high-tech situation going on right now on my back porch.

SPEAKER_03 11:19

That's well, I think that might be what's keeping us from from getting like big on Netflix and stuff. Right? That and the fact that we're not filming.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

Right.

SPEAKER_03 11:27

Yeah. Yeah. Uh anyway, we we're so I'm I'm visiting, I'm visiting, and now we uh a call's coming in. Let's call's coming in.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

Sorry, hang on, hang on, hang on. I gotta put the pelly out so we can record. We're gonna record it and we're in the middle of the podcast, and now we're recording, and so now tell us your feelings here.

SPEAKER_03 11:50

Okay, we so we got right on the line here. Hello, my name is Gator, we got Sliceberg, and we got Donkey over here. No, and then we got old monkey, big monkey coming in.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

My nickname is not my nickname is not Donkey.

SPEAKER_03 12:02

It's we're a placeholder. Donkey is a placeholder of a nickname until we find something better.

SPEAKER_04 12:06

So how do you well let's get back to space. Sounds like the kind of circus I'd like to be involved in.

SPEAKER_03 12:12

We were trying to be like the premier um World Cup. Uh how do you say it? Like, you know, pr post podcasts, uh Commentators, uh, commentary. How you feeling? How you feeling now, loser? No, no. So what we have here is is we have uh big, what's his name? Big Monkey?

SPEAKER_01 12:33

Well, that's my nickname for it. It's Courtney.

SPEAKER_03 12:35

Big Monkey, I know, but Big Monkey is from Australia, and so he's probably upset right now and like real really sad. Is that right?

SPEAKER_04 12:46

I don't want to let my feelings show. Okay. Yes, I'm sad. God damn it. What sort of performance was that? It was like we put our junior squad out there or something. There was no connecting passes, there was no one where we wanted them to be.

SPEAKER_01 13:03

It was just You guys scored you scored a goal for us.

SPEAKER_03 13:07

But but but did you see how they didn't give up? I mean, they were just they were not they were thinking, you know, like they were good. They were a good team.

SPEAKER_04 13:15

Well, I mean, yeah. I I I feel like they played pretty aggressively, and I I uh They played really aggressively, that was good. They did, and it but it it it was a stark contrast to how they played their first game, which they played well, and it was so surprising how well they played, it made news headlines all across Australia, and everyone was talking about holy shit, we we totally wrote off the Australian team thinking that this was probably gonna be one of our worst results in World Cup history, and they've just gone out there and smashed Turkey and blown everyone away, and we always everyone started saying that this could be the team that takes us the furthest that we've ever been in the World Cup. Are they out? No, we're not out. Uh it looks like we're gonna come second in the group, so hopefully, if we beat uh Paraguay, then we we get through to the round of 32 or uh whatever the next round is that uh after that performance, yeah, questions will be asked.

SPEAKER_03 14:14

But the but but the uh I was gonna say the gators are good. Like I'm from uh uh Gainesville where we have the Florida Gators, so I like to call all the all the anything to do with uh American or Florida teams gators. They're all gators. Right. So the Gators did good though, but like I think we had a really good team this year. But I guess we didn't even make one goal. We didn't even make it.

SPEAKER_04 14:34

Yeah. I mean, you guys are the home nation, it's your World Cup, so you've got a you've got the home crowd advantage and the home court advantage, and I mean it would be it'd be sad to see USA not get through the next round and hopefully the next round after that. And I am sort of somewhat of an honorary American, you know, now that you're here and I'm married to one and all the rest of it. So I I would say that USA is my second team. Um but it sucks watching the game today because we got yeah, we got masses handed to us, and it wasn't very pleasant. And so I'm interested.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

How far is USA gonna go, do you think? Do they have a team?

SPEAKER_04 15:22

I mean uh obviously their team is is looking bloody good, and I think I think soccer in in or uh I'll call it football, because that's not the rest of the couple. Football in this country has risen at a rapid rate. I think any ever since um you know Reynolds bought um Miami or whatever it was, or whoever celebrities bought whatever teams it was, and then they bought um Mission and uh Subaru's came over and they had some great European players who've come over and and just gone any other player in the country. I I think club football or or state football has has risen to a super high level in this country. So I think the fact that America has a good team is is kind of no surprise. Um how far do I think they're gonna go? I mean, I think they could get up to be like quarterfinals.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

Who's who do you predict? Predict right now.

SPEAKER_04 16:31

Oh, I mean, Argentina obviously gonna be out there. Portugal is kinda disappointed, I think. There's been a lot of upsets. I mean the Congo in Portugal time was was kind of crazy. Um and then uh was it the Caracam Islands or something? Uh beat someone else with Drew with uh one of the other major teams. So it's kind of it's it seems to be one of those World Cups that there's just uh been a whole lot of um unpredictable upsets, which is why I put $100 on Australia today to beat US because I was hoping for another upset, uh, which didn't happen.

SPEAKER_03 17:07

Uh you know, you want to hear about the bet I made with um Donkey over here? Just it's just a temporary name.

unknown 17:14

Okay. What have you got?

SPEAKER_03 17:17

I said, hey, let's watch this game today. And they're like, we're gonna go let's walk down to the grocery store and walk back and watch the game. So as we're walking back, you know, we're not back in time, and I'm getting a little frustrated. And he's like, Well, it's zero to zero. I'm sure it is. I'm like, well, let's bet on what it's.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

It's gonna be zero to zero for most of the games.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

He's like, thinks it's gonna be zero to zero to the whole game. And so I was like, let's bet, let's bet. And he didn't want to bet. He said, What is the the the score? And they said zero to zero. The game had just started. And then and then um finally we go about five more minutes, and I said, Bet me two dollars that when we get to the house, it's gonna be one to nothing USA. Two dollars, high stakes. Yeah. Okay. And then the the bet kind of went off the rails because I was calling it the double or nothing where he had to pay me double if I was right, and I didn't have to pay him nothing if I was wrong. He didn't like that means he didn't like that provision.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

It's such a gator thing to get.

SPEAKER_03 18:11

Guess what happened? He kept he calls in as we're walking up, he said, What's the score? And they said one nil. And I know they said nil because that's what you say in soccer. I mean football.

SPEAKER_04 18:21

Uh is uh someone's foot all richer?

SPEAKER_01 18:23

No, no, because he doesn't know how to bet things.

SPEAKER_03 18:27

I just didn't know how to try to do a double or nothing. Were you pay me?

SPEAKER_01 18:32

It's a two-dollar bet we pay you double and I pay you nothing. Hey, can I ask questions? Because I know you want a real sports update, right? That was that was the best fall we've ever had. That's pretty good. Okay, that was a good thing. I was saying, I was thinking you guys are like, you know, caching. So what is the story with the beverage break now? Is that a thing? Is that a real thing? Do football players go like that.

SPEAKER_04 18:53

That ruins the fabric of the game because it's something that's only been introduced into the US. And let's be honest, let's face the facts here, it's for advertising.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 19:04

That's what it is. No other country in the world advertises as much as America does or have as much advertising dollars. It's like the bloody, you know, whatever that game you guys play is American football. You throw balls across the field and that that sort of thing. But it's uh, you know, how much do people pay for ad slots during that? It's insane. So now it's like, oh, cool, we're gonna have this global sports event. Let's find another way to feed some advertising dollars into the pockets of the greedy. Ridiculous.

SPEAKER_03 19:34

Well, I I really think people are getting overheated and they need to take a little water break, a little rest.

SPEAKER_04 19:42

You're a shareholder in the advertising industry.

SPEAKER_01 19:45

They just need a little rest. Gator was like, Gator was saying, you know, it's really hot. They need water. What are you talking about? I'm a gator.

SPEAKER_03 19:56

And he's a hot uh a big monkey. And you being a donkey, it's now it's starting to make sense. Donkey's a lot of people.

SPEAKER_04 20:02

So what I mean, uh are they gonna uh what the America's holding the Olympics coming up, right? Yeah. Hosting the Olympics. So what are we gonna introduce water breaks for every sport that's in the Olympics as well? Is that what's gonna happen?

SPEAKER_05 20:15

America synchronized swimming.

SPEAKER_04 20:18

I mean, it's never happened before. How do you how do you change a game like the oldest game on the planet, apparently? How do you change the rules? Because you want to put some more advertising in front of people, really.

SPEAKER_03 20:32

Courtney, Courtney. Stupid Courtney.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

We use nicknames.

SPEAKER_03 20:36

Oh, I I thought I said Big Monkey is a good one. She's not here right now. Okay, Big Monkey. You ready? Can you? Oh, that's me.

SPEAKER_04 20:43

Hi.

SPEAKER_03 20:44

This Gator. Um Gator. We the we on this podcast, number one podcast for people, we we not only um talk like get a lot of uh listener feedback.

SPEAKER_04 20:54

Oh, sorry, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to interrupt you there for an advertising break.

SPEAKER_03 20:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 20:57

Just go have a drink of water and um come back to that thought in ten seconds. Yeah. America. So bounded by Gatorade.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

There you go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:11

Okay, sorry.

SPEAKER_01 21:14

He's pretty good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:17

So we um this is season eight of our podcast, and the the theme of this um season eight is no rules, just right.

SPEAKER_04 21:27

Ah. See, who's that sponsored by?

SPEAKER_03 21:30

Um they're paying us secretly.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

Outback steakhouse? Gotcha.

SPEAKER_03 21:41

But I just thought that was uh worth noting since you were from Australia and that's kind of an Australian themed theme. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:47

What's the more there's more outback steakhouses in America?

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Steakhouse is outback, I guess. I thought you never mind.

SPEAKER_04 21:54

I got it. It's like that's like saying that's like saying Foster's is Australian beer, it's not.

SPEAKER_03 22:01

Oh, is is Outback an American design?

SPEAKER_04 22:04

No, it's Australian, but my point is that Foster's is actually the company that owns a lot of my like a lot of the smaller beer, well, they're still big companies, but they own different labels. So the parent company is called Fosters, but we don't even have a beer in Australia that is called Fosters. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 22:25

Uh yeah, I mean I'd know now.

SPEAKER_04 22:27

Um it's like as if as if um Hershey's had all their different chocolate bars in Australia or whatever, and then in America, and then we had a chocolate bar that was American. Well, I mean, oh look at this new bar, and it's just called Hershey. Is that does that make sense? Is that a good is that a good um example? Yeah, I think I understand, yeah. It's not called like cookies and cream or milk chocolate.

SPEAKER_03 22:54

What's the beer you drank called? What's the Australian beer?

SPEAKER_04 22:58

Uh we have like Carlton Draft, Twee's new um Victoria Bitter VB.

SPEAKER_05 23:06

Bitter?

SPEAKER_04 23:07

Victoria Bitter.

SPEAKER_00 23:09

Bitter.

SPEAKER_04 23:11

There you go. No, you're getting like interesting stuff going on.

SPEAKER_03 23:16

Well, anyway, we that was our sports talk section, and uh we appreciate you giving us your uh expert opinions on that and uh being being friends with Donkey here.

SPEAKER_04 23:27

SPEAKER_03 23:32

Okay. You're you're watching all the games.

SPEAKER_04 23:36

SPEAKER_04 24:01

Road trip north. My buddy just called me and said, I've got tickets. He's secured tickets, he's like, Are you in? And I said, Only if Australia wins this game, and they didn't win, but I still should probably go.

SPEAKER_03 24:12

You should definitely you should even more so go now. They need you. They need you.

SPEAKER_04 24:18

Yeah, exactly. We need to win this next game, otherwise we we're probably out of the tournament.

SPEAKER_01 24:24

So it's gonna be due or die for Australia. He's a rugby player. Uh Courtney.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

Yeah. Yeah. His name is a big monkey.

SPEAKER_04 24:34

That's right. Yeah, I did I did play soccer once though, um when I got a little bit a little bit old, a little bit past my rugby or Australian rules football career. Got past that, and I thought, you know what? I can give soccer a go since you know it's all my mates from the surf club and whatever playing, and I'll just go goalkeeper. And so I did play goalie the whole season, and then second half of our last game, we were drawing nil all, and we'd lost every single game of the season. But the boys were like, hey, would you guys have a run? Said, sure. Step out of the goal box and give it a go. And uh, yeah, in the first 30 seconds of the second half, I broke away from a rebound, and it was just me and the goalkeeper, and I was like, holy shit. I am not even a soft player, and I'm about to score the winning goal. The one game that our team wins this season, and as I lined that motherfucker up to put it in the back of the net, uh was gonna put holes in the back of the net. This one, I got a slide tackle, and a guy hit me inside of my knee, blew out my knee, blew my meniscus, my ACL, everything. And I went straight to hospital, had a bloody knee reconstruction. So that's it, that was my soccer career. Oh, I never even I've never even heard at all. Never even yeah, didn't even come into contact with it. Uh could have been a hero and instead had a knee reconstruction, so that's it. That's uh that's why I only think about soccer every four years. Brings back to me dark memories. Two triggering. Yeah, two triggering, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 26:05

Because you s they show that stuff in slow motion too, those guys sliding in, telling other people. It's like oh jeez.

SPEAKER_04 26:11

No, no, we were like division six of like a club team, so there was no cameras there. I mean our our referee was about fourteen years old. So it's the sort of level I was playing at.

unknown 26:23

Oh well.

SPEAKER_04 26:24

It was uh pretty good, anyway. So don't take anything I say um as as uh sacrilege because um I really don't know much. So you chose the right person to say on your sports podcast is my point.

SPEAKER_03 26:40

It's not really a sports podcast, like we don't really usually know much about sports.

SPEAKER_04 26:45

I can tell.

SPEAKER_03 26:48

And we don't and we're just using our phones here on the table. So a little bit it's good grassroots, you know.

SPEAKER_04 26:54

Yeah, well, you go start somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 26:56

Grassroots. But now now that you've been on Big Monkey, uh I feel like it's gonna blow up.

SPEAKER_04 27:03

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_03 27:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:05

Uh uh.

SPEAKER_03 27:07

It could be a sports conversation. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 27:10

With special day.

SPEAKER_03 27:15

What do you think? Well, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 27:16

What do you say? He's got an accent. I'll say what's what's what's going on for the rest of the day?

SPEAKER_03 27:21

Um well, we gotta wrap up this podcast, basically, and then uh I'm gonna take a nap. I'm on vacation over here. I'm just it's like it's middle of the afternoon when I'm taking a nap a nap in the afternoon. Well no, but I'm on the case.

SPEAKER_01 27:35

SPEAKER_03 27:44

He's pointing at your phone. He's pointing at your phone.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

Do you do you take a nap during the the day? Ever?

SPEAKER_05 27:52

No. So rarely. Like literally, almost never. I haven't. I'm not a time, but so rarely.

SPEAKER_03 27:59

It sounds nice, but it's like that's not how your days usually go, that you can just take a nap. But I'm on vacation. I feel like I could just take a nap. No, who's gonna who cares? My wife ain't here. No rules. No rules, just right. Yeah. Just right. What about you, Courtney? What are you gonna do?

SPEAKER_04 28:19

Well, I'm not gonna take a nap. Um, so strike that off the right, but that doesn't tell that doesn't say much.

SPEAKER_01 28:26

He's probably gonna build here's what Courtney's gonna do, uh pretty much. Okay. Between now and dinner, he's probably gonna build an addition onto his house with a second story and an elevator. Probably between now and dinner. That's what he's gonna do.

SPEAKER_04 28:43

Yeah, I was gonna give myself one day off and then get back into some construction tomorrow. So it's gonna be hard.

SPEAKER_03 28:51

Um you're gonna watch more football, is what you're gonna do.

SPEAKER_04 28:55

Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna see who else is playing. That's what I'm gonna do. Let's see what games are up next. Group C in 15 minutes. Scotland, Morocco. Scotland, Morocco. Well, I do have uh Scottish blood somewhere in in me because we're all mucked down in Australia. So I should probably go for Scotland. Although I have been to Morocco and I do like it. So it's a tough one.

SPEAKER_03 29:26

Yeah, because that's the real that's a real kind of martial arts that you can use in reality. Steven Segal. A keto, he he's an a keto master. Of course he is. That's a different thing. That's not karate. But do you feel that way after you watch him? Do you feel I feel like if I mastered a keto, I I could I could survive in any situation.

SPEAKER_03 36:01

But if you just watch the somebody doing a keto, you don't feel any different.

SPEAKER_01 36:06

SPEAKER_01 37:18

So good.

SPEAKER_03 37:19

Um so what else we got there? Uh you uh where were we with the mail?

SPEAKER_05 37:24

Uh that's it. That's the mail.

SPEAKER_03 37:26

That's it?

SPEAKER_01 37:28

Three things?

SPEAKER_03 37:29

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 37:30

Um is that good or bad? Like how many? I mean, usually it's it's that's great.

SPEAKER_03 37:34

Like ten. I mean, it's great. It's always great to give mail. Right.

SPEAKER_01 37:38

Sometimes you get like this is my first podcast, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 37:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:42

Well, you have nothing to judge it against or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 37:46

So if we if like I think I'm not sure how it works. Sometimes I think if we have a really good couple podcasts and more people write in. So what do you think is gonna happen after this podcast? Oh, we're gonna, yeah. We're gonna it's gonna be big. Is it? Yeah, we're gonna get probably gonna go viral. This podcast.

SPEAKER_01 38:07

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 38:08

But maybe not today.

SPEAKER_01 38:09

I don't know what that means. I don't even know what hashtag means. When when when someone says hashtag, I don't even know what that means.

SPEAKER_03 38:15

Yeah, well, we'll talk about it later. If we don't talk about it now, we'll talk about it later.

SPEAKER_01 38:19

But what if somebody watching this put listening to this podcast doesn't know what it means, and we can educate them now? So then you get sports, international, you get cooking and recipes and technology. Technology. Which would be like explain what hashtag means.

unknown 38:34

Right.

SPEAKER_01 38:34

I'm I'm just I'm just looking up.

SPEAKER_03 38:37

What does that mean? It's gonna uh it's gonna connect to something. So hashtag something. Like, what do you what you what's an example?

SPEAKER_01 38:43

Well, from what he read in his thing, he you the the guy typed in hashtag something in his in his.

SPEAKER_03 38:48

Yeah, what did he type type in? And like what does that mean?

SPEAKER_05 38:52

Who uh Wayne?

SPEAKER_03 38:53

Yeah, Wayne. It said uh never miss a show on a Sunday, right?

SPEAKER_05 38:58

Never miss a Sunday show. It's like uh uh it's like a jam band um saying uh in like the fish community and other jam bands, they always say that.

SPEAKER_03 39:08

Never miss a jam. Never miss a Sunday show.

SPEAKER_05 39:10

So but so they'll play like Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It's like never miss a Sunday show.

SPEAKER_01 39:16

So what is ha what is so what does hashtag have to do with any of that? Why do you why do you add hashtag never miss a Sunday show?

SPEAKER_05 39:25

Because like on social media, like in order to like it's kind of like like SEO like in a way, like like optimization, like it makes it easy to find stuff related to like whatever happens to be in this case, like uh uh never miss a Sunday show or hashtag World Cup. That's a that's a bad example, but like you know hashtag uh I don't know, pizza. Like it could be anything.

SPEAKER_03 39:58

But you know what? It is actually hard to explain. Right. Like I understand it, but I'm like, I I don't know how I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 40:04

It's like when you search when you search that thing on Instagram, you'll see.

SPEAKER_03 40:07

No, but that's not why Wayne puts it in an email.

SPEAKER_05 40:10

That post about pizza or whatever, because they took the time to label it without hashtag.

SPEAKER_03 40:15

Right, but that's different than putting it in an email. It's like it's like you're putting it in quotes or something.

SPEAKER_01 40:23

Are you well, I guess what I'm asking is like, does will it make me sound cool if I do that? If I just say like hashtag. Probably not. If I say hashtag or write hashtag when it really doesn't apply, like if I just does it make me sound cool or something?

SPEAKER_03 40:37

No.

SPEAKER_01 40:38

No?

SPEAKER_03 40:38

Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_01 40:39

Probably not. No? Okay. If you have to ask, just so Wayne knows what it means. Obviously, so he can use it. Yeah. I gotcha.

SPEAKER_03 40:49

Yeah. He definitely knows what it means. Since I don't know. He's using it in like an extreme circumstance where it's even like you gotta kind of even know a couple levels beyond just hashtag and Instagram. Yeah. It's a whole nother layer of how to use it.

SPEAKER_01 41:03

Is that is that what meta means? Like when you're meta?

SPEAKER_03 41:06

No.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

What does that mean?

SPEAKER_05 41:08

Sort of.

SPEAKER_01 41:09

Sliceberg, what does meta mean?

SPEAKER_05 41:11

Meta means when you like when you're like self-referential or what I don't know if that's accurate, but you know what I mean? Like it's like when they end the breaking the fourth wall.

SPEAKER_00 41:22

Oh, like like Deadpool. Deadpool's meta.

SPEAKER_05 41:24

I didn't see Deadpool.

SPEAKER_00 41:26

What? Yeah, yeah. Deadpool's meta. Then I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 41:34

You haven't seen that either you haven't seen that either?

SPEAKER_03 41:36

There's a pla there was a movie and it was about a play. They went to a play where the play when they were in the audience, and the play was just an audience watching the people that was the audience. It was an audience watching, and it's kind of that's meta, right? It's just like it's like taking an audience and then making another audience watch this audience, that's when you hit meta stage. I don't know about device.

SPEAKER_01 42:00

So when you're doing your podcast and you talk words and you say words, are you expecting that your audience is gonna understand anything that you're saying? Like what you just said? No, I didn't understand any of what you just said. But if you're mowing the grass and you just need a friend, an audience that's not an audience, like I didn't understand any of that.

SPEAKER_03 42:20

Well, that's because that was just like a weird movie that I saw that was they called it Meta, which made me think of it. It was a movie where called Audience that a local guy made. And you go in as the audience to watch a play, and an audience comes out to watch the audience.

SPEAKER_01 42:38

So it's an audience or is it a play?

SPEAKER_03 42:41

It's a movie about play. Of a play.

SPEAKER_01 42:43

It's a movie about a play. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 42:49

All right. But I I don't I don't know what the people listening think.

SPEAKER_01 42:57

Well, you you should you should know though, because you're the number one. You're not, you're you're number one.

SPEAKER_03 43:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:02

You're number one podcast.

SPEAKER_03 43:04

That's why they that's why.

SPEAKER_01 43:06

What's your demographic of your audience? We don't know. We don't know. You don't know what your demographic is? Demographic is the Babcock family.

SPEAKER_03 43:14

Oh, there is the Babcock family.

SPEAKER_01 43:16

And what's that demographic? Like what age to what age?

SPEAKER_03 43:21

Well, like in one year. Because advertisers are one year old.

SPEAKER_01 43:25

Advertisers need to know. Yeah. So we don't have advertisers. Well, they all they all need to know. But they will later. So it's not it's one year old to what? Oh however old grummy is.

SPEAKER_03 43:38

However old Grummy is. We don't know how old Grummy is.

SPEAKER_01 43:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 43:41

She's mutual.

SPEAKER_01 43:42

She's mature. She's of a mature age.

SPEAKER_03 43:45

Yeah, she's got grandkids and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 43:47

Okay. All right. So yeah, your demographic's wide. That's why it's I mean you can attract all the advertisers.

SPEAKER_03 43:54

Yeah. But that's one of the things that is makes our podcast special.

SPEAKER_01 43:58

At Outback Steakhouse, for sure.

SPEAKER_03 44:00

Is that we don't we only advertise for Hyundai. Hyundai? Outback. Is there any more Sliceberg that I'm missing? Yin yang.

SPEAKER_05 44:09

SPEAKER_03 44:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:12

What's yin yang?

SPEAKER_03 44:13

Yin yang. It's just kind of like it means it is what it is. Alright, listen, we gotta wrap this up. He's gotta make dinner. Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:24

Someone will be able to listen to what this just crazy shit we just said off the top of our head. And some and and someone's gonna go, that's a thing. That actually is a thing.

SPEAKER_05 44:56

Record it for all posterity.

SPEAKER_03 44:58

Yeah, but that's the problem with where we're at today. There's just stuff like this out there that shouldn't, you know. It's basically human slop. You know, it's human slop. It's not AI slop. But AI slop is probably better than this, you know.

SPEAKER_05 45:14

SPEAKER_01 47:24

I don't well, I don't know if you're a podcast.

SPEAKER_03 47:27

Anyway, um, so I then I donkey and big monkey circus. I give it a name such as Donkey and Big Monkey join the circus. And then my nickname can't be Donkey. It could be a placeholder.

SPEAKER_01 47:42

Why do I think it's going to be a placeholder forever? Forever.

SPEAKER_03 47:46

And I I save that to my Google Drive.

SPEAKER_01 47:48

And I hit that button and it uploads. While it's uploading, I put in a title and a description of what's happening in the episode, which it'll be very uh good. Descriptive You'll need to use all your words. Then I have to say what uh what season and what episode number, and then I hit publish immediately and I hit save, and when it's done uploading, it's published to all the places.

It's a podcast.

SPEAKER_05 48:36

It's gonna get recorded for posterity for all eternity.

SPEAKER_03 48:42

That's called in perpetuity. I don't know about the perpetuity part because we have to pay them, and if we stop paying them, it'll go away. It doesn't mean it's gone, it just means they're not gonna post it online. Now I could save it into my phone or onto my Google Drive. I mean, there's other places it's saved, but everything goes away eventually. Does it? Yeah. This is just to entertain the people that are that are really have good senses of humor, and they like a couple charming guys from Florida every week, and just to keep their lives happy through the through the days and the weeks of their lives, you know. They get to hear, they get to live through our life, we get to live through theirs. I mean, we know a lot about the Babcocks. Had a the the the uh twins were really cute, man. They're really cute. Yeah. But I I I can't believe I didn't get a picture. But anyway, I'm sorry that uh oh, and the other thing I did, you know what, Sliceberg? I was like, I knew they were about a year old. And I knew that they were a little past a year old, but I figured they might be kind of smallish since they were born prematurely. And so I was I was texting Grummy about the size of the, I think I said it's 24 month, like for some reason I got my 24 month and my 12 month confused. And I I brought them 24 month uh onesies to the to the babies.

SPEAKER_05 50:00

But they were they were too big, is what you're saying. Well, by a lot because Well, that's okay because they they're gonna grow, so you know.

SPEAKER_03 50:08

Yeah. But I mean, it'd be one thing if I brought them like an 18 month, like I could have brought them a 12 month and it would have been perfect. Uh 18 month would have been big. 24 month was just like they'll grow into it.

SPEAKER_05 50:19

It's fine.

SPEAKER_03 50:20

I hope they grow into. But by the time they're yeah, anyway, it was uh I I brought the wrong size. So I I felt bad, I feel bad about that. But not that like really, really bad, but just kind of bad.

SPEAKER_05 50:31

You know what would be fun? I think Eleanor will let it slide.

SPEAKER_01 50:34

You know what would be fun is if if you asked them to put the babies in the 24-month-old onesie and take a photo and send that to you. That'd be fun. Yeah, there you go.
