Is AI Wrong About Tree Years? Pickles, Paint Secrets, and the Future of Redbeard Brewery | Unspoken with Andrew Dodson

In this high-energy episode of Unspoken with Nick and Nick, guest Andrew Dodson joins us to dive into a mind-bending debate over AI-generated "tree years" versus human relativity, exploring the "witchcraft" behind specialized fields like dendrology and gerontology. Andrew shares his entrepreneurial journey from the paint industry to founding Redbeard Brewery, detailing unique craft brews like the "Knocked Up Kolsch" and his vision for a family-friendly beer garden featuring wood-fired pizza and social snacks like deviled eggs. The conversation takes a viral turn with the hilarious story of a "Cheeto dust" crime scene mistaken for a medical emergency by local police, alongside a deep dive into pickle culture, including pickle beer, scented paint stations for apartment refreshes, and the elusive Pickle of the Month Club. From the chaos of a failed gender reveal and the linguistic meanings behind baby names like Hensley and Madden to debates over regional accents and Nicholas Cage, this episode is a deep dive into parenting, business, and internet rabbit holes.

Welcome to unspoken where everyone is back to another episode of unspoken with Nick and Nick. We back. We back. And you know what the deal is. OK, I don't have it, but we're going to make sure I do. Sorry, baby. Love you. We didn't do that last time. We didn't. And that yeah, that's never that's never happens. That never happens. That's true. We we did not do that last time. Sorry, listeners. That's dumb. He's back. I'm back. I'm back, baby. I am back. That was all me cheering. It was actually recording for that. That's true. Yeah, I actually it's in the background and everything. I did that. That's true. You should you should pay attention to more of that more cheering. Usually the laugh tracks are you normally. So I mean, any time that normally is getting laughed at. Yeah, that's OK. But like any time on a any time on a sitcom, it's just you just like several of you laugh track, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, that works. It works on that guy. So tonight we have my bro, Andrew. Hello. What's going on? So Andrew and I, Andrew's no stranger to the podcast world. Andrew and I co-hosted with plans to revive it. We think you're probably going to do that. Co-hosted the Conversations and Libations podcast, previous one I was on. And that's where the podcasting journey all kind of started. So I know that you've been excited about that, too, Andrew. So that'll be that'll be fun. Probably talk about that a little bit here later on. But it's a new week. It's a good week in the world of Kansas City. You're welcome. Yeah, it's great. I brought I brought the San Diego weather back. Well, thank you. Yeah, thank goodness. Yeah, you barely made it. You were like falling asleep. Oh, man. I got back last night. The flight got delayed, not delayed by a lot, but enough that when I got to Kansas City, I was supposed to get home like 20 minutes before the game started last night. Oh, yeah. But I didn't get home till halftime. So it wasn't horrible, but it was. It was not. I was exhausted. Plus I don't sleep well when I'm not in my own bed and with my people. Sure. Sure. You know, I totally get that. And but I mean, it was I was too excited to sleep, too, when I was there. So I get it. I get excited to go to places. So I'm here. I'm here. Yeah, I warn Nick. Things is fun. I'll be here. I might be bumping a log, but I'll be here. So something I texted you earlier that I think we really need to get on top of is our our t-shirts. Do the t-shirt thing would be really cool. Tim texted me back and he's like, hey, man, you guys need to do the t-shirts. Yeah. Oh, hell, you're right. We need to do the t-shirts. I think he should hold us accountable. He should. So, you know, I'll get a task in for him into the old project management system. Yeah. Make sure he gets that completed for us. Did you know about these shirts? No. OK. So there was a joke on awesome. Tim Phelps from church, you know, Tim from church. So Tim, Tim basically was chatting about stuff and he made a mention about Nick being a Marine. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, well, you know, there's Marine Nick. And then I was like, yeah, and then land Nick. So we need to make sure it's that say Marine Nick and land Nick. So that way, you know, you can be a team, whatever. Wow. OK. It's basically at any point of, you know, really, really high popularity. We're going to get popular enough that it's going to basically be like Marine Nick and land Nick is like, you know, this and we're in Jacob. Yeah. Team Edward and Team Jacob from the Twilight Saga. I love it. I don't make the rules, man. It's just the way it is. It's just the way it is. Yeah, we do need to get on top of that, though. I think that'd be a lot of fun. Yeah, that would be radical. We got a lot of cool things coming this season, though. I think this season's going to be a good jumping season for the old unspoken podcast. I think we got a lot of fun stuff. I was talking to Johnny again this weekend. Johnny's awesome. And do you let him know what we said? Yeah, I did. OK, I did. Yeah, we were just watching. It was hilarious. So we came up with something. I want to get your guys' opinion on this. We're just a couple of idiots just jacking around. Right. So we're at this family event. We had a bridal shower, wedding shower, technically not a bridal shower. I don't know what you call it technically these days. But we're talking and we come to realize that all the guys at our table that are talking are like our older uncles. And they're talking about like, oh, yeah, I had the tree guy come out to the house and they're all saying the same thing. It's like a progressive commercial. Yeah, exactly. So we're like we're going down this path of like different tree stories that they have. And Johnny and I are just like, I mean, I planted I got a four year old tree and, man, she's going gangbusters. Like, you know, we don't have tree stories. Right. So they're talking through it. And he's you know, one of the uncles is like, yeah, so this guy comes out and he's talking about this tree and he's like, man, I don't know if I would waste too much time on that. It seems like that's probably only got like, I don't know, 10 or 12 years left max. I was like, what is this? Like, what don't we know about trees that that's like, you should get rid of it now that you can look at it. Yeah. So where I was like, well, like, what is what is that in? Like, is that the human year? So like, what is that in like tree years? So then we got off onto a tangent while they're having this very serious tree discussion. We're having a very not serious tree years discussion. And what would a tree year be in relation to home, like human years? Yeah. So that led us down a big rabbit hole, which put us in the AI land. Right. So naturally, I'm like, what the hell is a tree year if we were in relation to human years? Yeah. And AI says, I'm excited. AI says that one tree year is roughly equivalent to zero point eight human years. No way. Well, you know, this is what's the reasoning for that. So this is based on I'm assuming this is based on relativity, like just in general, saying like a tree is, you know, X years old, based on 100 year span, because they based it on the average lifespan of a tree is 100 years. And the average human equivalent is 70 to 80 years. So they're saying that like, you know, a human is going to live, which is what they do for dogs. The dog year. Yeah. Right. So that's where we came up with it. So we ended up down this rabbit hole way too far. So I send this over to Johnny. Johnny just is like beside himself that the tree years is not right. So he says to me that AI is wrong and they are off by a multiple of roughly about eight. How stupid is AI? So, you know, we got we got way too far down that. Yeah, that's awesome, though. He said he wishes we knew someone who graduated with a degree in dendrology and a doctorate in gerontology. He says that'd be a rare breed to find. And he pulled those terms off AI. I'll bet 100% because I've never even heard. You know, you know, I don't disagree with you. However, he probably just probably knows. He probably just had that in his brain for no reason. Sorry, Johnny, you knew it. Well, with what he does with what he does, he probably just was like, yeah, we need a gerontologist. Yep. And I was like, what the hell is? Yeah, yeah. I didn't Google it. I was definitely made up that word. Yeah, exactly. I was exactly. That was my reaction. These are made up words because I've heard a botany. Yeah. Like, why wouldn't a botanist work? But he's got to pull out geriatric technology. Gerontology, gerontology. So like, what about like an arborist? Arborist? Yeah. Like, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. So are those specific to tree age degrees? Right. Beats the hell out of me. That's a good question. It's a great question. But now we know that it's a rare breed to be a dendrologist and gerontologist. Wow. Didn't know the other one existed. OK. I don't spend enough time researching trees, I guess. Definitely not. Apparently we don't. None of us do until you get. But does anybody really? Does it start with the new balances? You get the new balances and then you start looking at trees. Hold on. Hold on. OK. We're getting too far into this. OK. We got to take it one step further. OK. Who's the person that got that far into it that was like, I'm going to go teach a college like whole track on this. Not just a class. Yeah. You can get a degree. Multiple courses in this. Right. And then you're going to go for even further and get a doctorate. Yeah. In something a lot. And I'm not. This is not in any way a slight or a knock to anybody that has this. Right. I just didn't know about that world. Yeah. Well, not even just that. So you had to come up with the idea to go be able to teach those classes and then convince a university that it was going to be worth it. Bingo. Wow. No, no. Way worse. Way worse than that. I think you're actually one step up. We got to go a little bit more granular. Convince a university to pay you to tell people about people. Exactly. Wow. So I mean, man. There's more to those tree rings than we ever knew. Dendrology is a hell of a drug. Yeah. I didn't even know those words. No. He broke out some stuff. I mean, that was like witchcraft to me when he said that. He totally knew him off the top of his head, too. He did. He totally did. Yep. I know you're out there listening, Johnny. We love you. Good job. Nothing but love, baby. Anyway, Andrew, my man. Welcome officially to the pod 10 minutes later. Wow. Actually, 10 minutes on the dot. Nice. Nice. Sweet. So you've heard a little bit about it. Yeah. You know what's going on here. Tell us a little bit about you. What is the Andrew? Not much. All right. Well, great conversation. Let's take a quick break. No. Kind of just the basics. Father of one, one on the way. Love it. Got a almost three and a half year old daughter at home with a son on the way now. Oh, cool, man. Awesome. Super excited about that. When you sent us the picture, we were super like I literally just so I was I had no service. So I got the picture and I just immediately texted back having no idea if it would get to you. And I was just like, it's a boy. And then Adriana was just like, yes. I was like, wait, I didn't get the other picture. Oh, that's funny. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like an hour later, I got the other picture. And then I mean, none of my stuff was in it. So it's really matter. I see. I never even because I know she sent the second photo and then I saw your text. It's a boy. I just assumed you got the pictures different. No, I got I just literally threw out randomly that it was a boy just on a guess. And just because I was like, oh, I don't know. It's throwing something out there. And then I know I didn't get anybody else's text for like an hour because I was at the concert. So it was I mean, we were just packed. Right. So I was like, I didn't get anything. And then like an hour later, I was like, hell, yeah. That's awesome and hilarious. It was a great way to do it, though. But then when I looked at the picture, I was like, well, I can't tell. Somebody turn their hand. Well, yeah. So really fun way to do it. Not the plan. OK, the plan was. See, and I talked about this. OK, yeah, I need to know more about. So the original plan to find out the gender of our second baby, we are going to have our daughter put her hand in paint and put it on my wife. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, yeah. So we're going to pink or blue, depending on what it was. The reason it failed. My daughter really wanted a little sister. So as soon as the conversation happened that it could be blue paint, she started freaking out. Yeah, she kind of got better, was like, yeah, OK, let's do this. Sure. Should be fun. Let's do. Yeah. So she kind of was getting on board. Sure. Until my sister poured the blue paint on the plate. So we are facing away. So we don't see what's happening, but we just hear all of a sudden just screaming. And we're like, well, know what that means. So I kind of held it back. Adriana didn't quite catch on yet. Sure. But in my head, I'm like, yep, I know what that means. Pregnancy brain, man. Oh, it's a real thing. So on the fly, my sister's like, just hold your hands out. And then we just got in the paint. Nice. Yeah, well, that worked. It was a cool idea, though. Yeah, it was fun. Worked out. Well, that's awesome, dude. Yeah. So I mean, keep going. I cut you off. So you got little man on the way. We haven't talked about it. Don't feel that you need to. Do you guys have names? I've had one that has been on my mind for quite a few years. Lately, I don't know. Actually, crazy enough, we were supposed to have found out the Saturday before we found out. Right. Yeah, right. We opened up the results and gave them to my sister. Gender not reported. Somebody didn't press the button. Someone pressed the wrong button. So we had this whole plan lined up. We were going to do it, open it up, not reported. So then we had to wait for two days. So we go to call the doctor's office on Monday. Their systems are down. They can't get phone. Shoot. Luckily, they were calling all the patients to let them know. So their system was down. Yes. Perfect. So they called us. We told them what happened. They're like, we'll make some phone calls. Next day, we got a thing saying reports updated. OK. I kind of felt in my mind, God didn't want me to find out Saturday because at church on Sunday during Tim's message, he said a few different things. And one name in particular popped up like five or six times. And I felt him tell me, you're going to have a boy with this name. Nice. So it was kind of cool. The second we found out it was a boy, it popped right back in my head. So there you go. Still praying on it to see if that's the name we're going to choose. But it's awesome. Heck, yeah. Dude, I mean, so we'll have to ask about this, Nick. I'll tell you my story about name and name and little man. Right. I think you know a little bit about this. We had a bunch of names. I get a list of names and we were just like, there were some that we were saying like, OK, you know, we like the name, but it's just not going to work for us. Like, we're not going to do that for whatever reason. We just didn't see it or didn't feel the vibe or whatever. And then we had a few that were like, all right, we really, really like these names. Right. So cool. And then we never narrowed it down further. So we just have like five names. Yeah. And then Anne goes into labor and we're on the way to the hospital. And I was like, yeah, we don't have like a name for this. Like if he comes out like now, he's just going to be like, like, baby, baby, whatever number. Yeah, like, like offspring, whichever Intel seed. Yeah, exactly. He was going to be Eminem. What's my name again? There you go. Yeah, there you go. Well, yeah, my name is. And then what's what's my name again? That's Blink 182. Good try. Come on, guy. Close enough. But yeah. So then, you know, as soon as he was born, we were just like, all right, yeah, we got it. Like, we know it. We know it's Zach. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. But that was it took some doing. It was like the nurse literally looked at us like, what's his name? And Anne looked at me and she's like, Zach, okay. There you go. Yeah, it worked out. So yeah, it's hard for sure. When you named your boys, like, I mean, and this isn't specific to boys, but you only have boys. Yeah. When you named your boys. So we had, we were going through the whole, because we had a list of names, too, that we really liked. But the problem with us was, and I'm sure most parents are like this. You find a name, you're like, oh, I like that. And then your wife goes, I knew somebody with that name. I didn't like them. They, you know, they were a brat or they were a jerk. My wife's a teacher. You know that. You know this. So if there's a name in particular that she had a bad experience with, like, a parent or something. She's like, I can never not think about that bad experience. Exactly. That's fair. And then I'm always, I'm always about the meaning of a name, too. I feel like the name needs to portray. And it eventually does portray their personality traits. So we had to go off the cuff. We had to go with all these names that weren't, they were original names, but not too crazy original. Oh, yeah, sure. So I have Hensley and Madden. Okay. So Hensley is Old English for lone standing rock wall in a field. Oh, that's, that was my next guess. So he weathers, he weathers all storms. Okay. Stands the test of time. The time. Okay. We need that back up. Back up. When you named him Hensley. Yeah. Did you know that it meant old wall rock in a field? Totally did. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So let's, I, I gotta get into this. I don't, we gotta get into this. Let's go. What? I know, right? We had all those names. Katie had this thick book. We probably still have it. Baby names. It's like baby names 101, right? And it's 10,000 baby names. Oh, that's too many names. Yeah, no, I couldn't do that. And I would just sit there and go through them. You're like me a hundred percent. I would just be diving into it all the time. And it was every night after work. She and I would get on and we'd have like, we always had a Food Network on, but we'd be watching. You and her would get it on every night after work, you said? Bingo. Nice. And then we would go through all the baby names. Good one, Nick. Jeffrey. No, that's not gonna work. Yeah, it's not us. That's messed up. Oh, that's classic. That's classic. I came across that name. Yep. I really liked it. And she, I was about 90% on board with it when I was totally on board with it. So I really picked his name. Sure. And then she really wanted a girl next. The poor lady cried when we found out it was another boy. And I'm like, do you know what I said to her? There's still time. Do you know what I said to her to make her feel better? I go, you can name him. Oh, there you go. Yeah, you can. I didn't know what else to say. You can pick this one. It was so funny. I thought in my brain at the time, I'm like, this'll help her. You can pick his name. See, but this is like such a such a masculine dude. Totally is. You know what? I got it. You can pick the name. No big deal. And then Madden is actually an Arabic name. Sure, I didn't know that. And it's leader or victory for people. So then did you pick their names based on the meaning or did you pick their names based on their name? You liked their name. We liked their name and then the meaning. And it fit both of them. We had a couple names for Madden. Before that, we were going between and you see him and you're like, so did you have like a list? And then you picked off the list from what you liked originally with Hensley, right? Yeah. So then was Madden like number two? And then you were just like, well, you know, if we have another boy, it's going to be mad. So Madden was on the list. OK, got it. Yes. But it like wasn't ranking high. Katie really wanted that name for Hensley. OK. And then I, you know, we each push back on certain things or whatever and ended up being Hensley. So that's why, in a nutshell, why I was making her feel better with you can choose his name. I picked the last one. You're up. Because I had a feeling and we were trying to go for originality to, you know, that whole thing. But without being strange about it, right? Not knocking anybody, but some people pick names and it's like, oh, yeah, yeah. Doing your kid, man. That's weird. But it's weird to me, but not them. And that's cool. But we so we do have and it's really funny with Madden. I personally know two other Madden's. OK, yeah. Madden's age. Oh, even better. So while he played baseball with one of them and went to preschool with that same one. And then there's another one here. Remember, if it was, I think it was baseball. They're both baseball and they're both great kids. Like all the great kids. So the name is holding up. Yeah, yeah. We don't we don't know a single Hensley. We've heard it his last name. Sure. In fact, we always pick on Hensley at at the local baseball diamonds off 83rd and K7. Yeah, yeah. There is a Hensley Porta Potty rental. Ah, even better. Yeah, see. So, you know, maybe you could have a sign like that. There you go. You guys ever checked like initials too, right? Yes. Oh, yeah. So my dad, he when we first started picking my daughter's name, he's like, so serious, you need to make sure initials are good. His is VMD. And I guess it used to be some kind of bigger disease, but it's like a funny type disease. So he got made fun of a lot for VMD. Oh, no. Yeah. So I was like, I never thought about that. And then, of course, one of the people that we were following at the time was like, walk around your house and yell it as if you're yelling for them to come in the other room. It's like, yeah, that's fair. That's reasonable. I would yell into a microphone to see how it sounded coming over a speaker. Hey, I'm all for that. I am all for that. Up to bad. Number 42, Hensley Brown. Yeah. You're like, that's that's rad. I'm in for that. See, I'm all good for that. I'd be down for that. So are you are you employing any of these methods into your own naming strategy? Yeah, definitely going through the I'm also looking at like nicknames already. Oh, yeah. As I'm going through thinking about them, trying to find a good nickname to go along with it. Yeah. And so far, the one we have, the initials itself can be a good nickname. And I was like, oh, that's cool. Yeah. So yeah, there you go. You know, I'm excited. But we're pretty far out, not due till March 24th. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, we got some time to figure it out. So with that being the case, who's the harder one to crack? Who's going to be more hard headed on this? Oh, her. Because I've already got three or four names. I think this one specifically that when I told it to her, I was like, this is great. If I made the decision, done. We're good. Yeah. As soon as I said it, she goes, yeah, I was like, OK. See, that's funny. And I think I think I would say that our wives are like way more intentional on that. So like, it's got to be like it's got to click. Yeah. Which is why I say that checks out because like we are, you know, our church group, all of our all of our wives are pretty similar. Oh, yeah. They all kind of go that route. Actually, I've always loved the name Calvin. Funny enough. That's a great name. They had said that and the couple in our group also had a boy after our little guy and named him Calvin. No way. We didn't tell anybody once you get mad. I was like, I'm not going to get mad. What am I going to race you to him? See, I hear Calvin and I think the neighborhood period alone wouldn't allow me to do this. The neighborhood boy that's always having fun and playing with their buddies. Calvin. Calvin. Well, in my life, Calvin and Hobbs was a big experience for me. I think that's why. Yeah. So I was always like, all right, this is rad. Yeah. Yeah. So hey, that's very cool, man. My sister wanted me to name Hensley Charlie. Think of my last name. Yeah, that was that. Yeah. Yeah. She was dead serious. She was like, I really think you should. Now, it is a family name. Sure. But he was born in like 1880. I'm like, that's a great, great. No, we're not doing Charlie Brown. Right. Poor kid. Yeah. No, it wouldn't be cool. You know, it'd be cool. I mean, it would be cool, but. It would be a toughie for a little bit. So your gender reveal. I got to laugh at these because you landed on that in particular. I just saw one. It's got to be because you guys send us pictures. I've just been getting so much shit. All gender reveal for whatever reason. So I'm scrolling through and I saw this one pop up and it just makes me laugh every time. The wife throws the ball to the husband to swing and hit and I'll be damned if that super athlete didn't take it because it wasn't one that he could really get hold of. You know, so he just takes the pitch and lets it fall to the ground. And then what does he do? He blames his wife. Well, that was a bad pitch. You only have one pitch, man. Oh, my gosh. It's so stupid to me. I'm like, if you're going to do that, you need to be able to hit all of them. Don't take it. That's where I'm at. Dude, it lit a fire under me like a bunch of non-athletes out here swinging bats around and they just let it fly into the ground. Now you look like an idiot, too. I've seen some really cool exploding golf ball gender reveals. I saw one recently that that's what that was supposed to be. And the guy, the friend or whatever that was helping set it up to prank them and put one of those the loud ones. So he goes to hit it. And of course, everyone drops down because they freak out with a loud explosion. Yeah, he's just dying in the background. Oh, that's awesome. Have you guys seen the one? So this is one of those things that would just like there's no way it doesn't light a fire under a pregnant hormonal like wife in general. They had like the poppers, right? So it's like the like the streamer thing. Well, it's like the smoke and the confetti, right? Yeah. So the powder comes out. But I think the husband had a blue one and the wife had a pink one. And they're like, what the hell? And then out of nowhere, the wife's mom runs up and pops a balloon and people went berserk. And they're like, what? Why did you just like totally make this about you? Oh, no. That's like such a show stealing moment. That would light me up. I have mixed feelings on this because I think it's like, OK, it's not a big deal. Like, it's right. It's meant to be like a fun thing. But at the same time, like I could also see how it could just piss some people. Yeah, that would. Yeah. Tick me off. I as of right now, I don't know how I'd feel about it. If I were in the position, I feel like I'd be like, it wasn't cool. Or would I be ticked off for my wife? Yeah, probably. Maybe that. Yeah. Maybe that. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not in that situation. I'm not either. Yeah. I can personally attest to a failed baby shower or gender reveal. My brother-in-law, when they had their first boy, entitled me to do it. So we were out of the lake house. So I went and got a firework fountain. Oh, nice. And I asked the guy, I was like, I need a blue one. And he goes, yeah, I got you. Because this is it's only blue. It was not. It was every color. Wasn't blue. It was every color. You're like, hold on. I had no backup plan. And I was like. But was it like, was it like blue, then other colors? Or was it like, you know, yellow, green, and then blue? Yeah. I think right at the beginning, it was like a couple blue sparkles. So they get excited. And then like purple and green start coming out. So they're like, and I had no backup plan. So I was like, uh. Congratulations. Yay. It's an alien. Congrats. Yeah, it's an alien. Oh, man. All the different colors of the rainbow come together and create whatever color that would be. Wonder what color that would be. Brown. It's brown. All of them is brown? Yeah. Interesting coming from the paint guy. I learned that from the local gerontologist. I would not. Yeah, yeah. I got a dendrologist down the street guy. I got a guy. Yeah. Anyway. All right, Andrew, what is it? You know, we talked a lot about, you know, the family life for a little bit here, but we'll come back to that. What is it that you do, sir? I sell paint. Yay. Yeah. Dive in a little bit. I don't really care to say it. So I work out of Home Depot as a vendor rep. Selling paint just kind of in the aisles. So I cover right now nine stores in the area. I go around, make sure everything looks good. Talk to customers. Radical. Try and get some new leads and. Heck yeah. Rad. Just sell paint. Yeah. That's awesome. So. I've bought your paint a lot. I'm sure. Probably. Good chance, actually. Yeah. Knowing who you work for, I think you probably have. Yeah. Okay. So how did you get into that? So I've been in the painting industry now for six and a half years. I think I'm almost at seven, actually. I started it because I needed a job. Sure. And a buddy worked for, back then it was PPG. And he's like, hey, I know they're looking for a delivery driver. So I was like, okay, great. And here I am. I'll drive paint around. Seven years later. And I've done everything from a delivery driver, associate, store manager, regional manager, and now sales rep. There you go. That's cool. So when did you know paint was your life? It was your passion. It's not. It's not. No, no. And we've talked about that before a lot. So then I guess the real question would be like, if you weren't doing this, what would you be doing? Money, not an issue. Let's go with both sides. Money, not an issue. And you just need a job. Money, not an issue. We've had this conversation quite a few times. I want to own my own brewery. Oh, that's cool, man. Used to live in Oklahoma. We had a nice, cool... Winston. This is Winston. Hello. We had a nice, cool area where I could control the temp and lights and everything. So I got really into home brewing. Got really good at it to the point that I was starting to make my own mixtures and new flavors. Really? Yeah, I absolutely loved it. So owning a brewery has always been a huge dream. That's cool, man. Yeah, top level for you. We've talked about that before. That's really cool. But I actually just, as a fun, just part-time job, just applied at a brewery just for... Just because you're just like, let's just see what happens. Yeah, just a night or two on that. Just to get back into it. That's awesome. Nice, man. So then let's say you just weren't doing this and you just needed a job. What would you hope you were in except for that? Yeah, I like that. Project managing. I mean, that's basically... He's good looking. That's basically... Back when I was in my regional position, that's what I was. I had seven stores that were kind of like my projects. I love leading and I love kind of being in a support role in that. So definitely some kind of project manager. Yeah, that's rad, man. Yeah, and I mean, it's always interesting, too, because we've talked about this a lot just in general. You know, this is kind of the whole point, right? Is like, you know, your job isn't an identifier of you. And that certainly is a big part of most people's lives, right? Like, and there's another row of that. But you know, it's not the whole thing, right? So there's always that extra fun stuff. So what are some of like the goods, bads, day-to-days things that you're dealing with? For me, it's... So I'm the little guy at Home Depot. So we have to fight the big name. So for me, that's just a pain. We go in all the time. We're trying to get leads. They're already buying from Home Depot. Sure. You know, they're buying the higher dollar because of the name. Sure. I'm going to cut you off real quick. I'm really sorry. And when you say leads, you're looking for... New customers. New customers. Okay. Yeah. So, or they're buying from Sherwin. So I mean, the biggest headache day-to-day is I'll get this huge list from like our pro department at Home Depot. And the first call I get, hey, you're buying everything else, but you're not buying my paint. You know, where are you buying it from? Oh, I got a rebate from Sherwin. Cool. Well, I know I can't touch that. So have fun. See you later. So I make anywhere from 20 to 30 calls a day. And at least 20 of them say, well, I've got a contract through Sherwin. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. So are you looking at the... Okay. This is maybe there may be a general mix here, but is it more contract work where it's like a lot, a lot of sales at once kind of thing, or is it more like, I don't know, your home handyman buyers that are more likely to purchase from you based on the stats today? So I focus on the little guys. Okay. Got it. Mainly because I've been in the paint industry long enough that I know places and I don't care to throw them down. Right. Sherwin, they screw the little guys. You know, these big guys are getting all these great discounts. And if you go on my dime, yeah, if you go in there, then you're paying double just to cover what they're not paying. So I go after those guys because I just talked to someone today about that. And it was like, I showed them the cost of ours. We had a demo. So they were getting a roll out our paint today. Told them the price and his face was like, it can be that cheap. Yeah. I was like, yeah, like capitalism, crazy. Yeah. So, you know, that's one good thing we have. We have quality and low cost. Right. Yeah. I am. So that's, I mainly go for the little guys. Now I am trying to procure some of the, hey, I'm buying a palette at a time. Oh, sure. Yeah, cool. Let's do that. But I like the little guys. Yeah. Well, and I like that you go after the little guy because that little guy could become a big guy. Well, absolutely. Yeah. And I think it's, I think in general, the approach overall, right? Like that's a very, I mean, you're getting that customer first focus, right? Which I think is the way to do it in the sales role, right? So I get that. Yeah. That's awesome, dude. So what would you say? Let's just say perfect world, right? Like you're going to get into this brewery thing. What would you say is a really translatable thing from what you're doing today to, let's just say, 10 year future self, Andrew, that owns and operates a brewery? And yes, I did just give you a goal. 10 years from now, owner, operator of a brewery. Fine. Ideally, it's less than 10. I've already started the research. Good for you. Yeah, actually, I will jump off your question for a moment. Sure. So we just, was it two weeks ago when all four of us got together? Oh, yeah. And we had this random conversation like this and they were just going around. Yeah, good daydreaming. And it was like, yeah, no, I want to own a brewery. And Nick literally looks over me and goes, so do it. Yeah. So here, he's just not gonna. Yeah. My mom, I didn't, I think I didn't go to bed till like 1 a.m. that night because all I did was get on my computer. I was looking up how to get a Kansas beer license. Yeah. Found out you can get a beer license, which is cheaper. You just don't have the liquor. Yeah, sure. So I'm like, oh, perfect. And then that led into a full blown conversation. I was on Craigslist looking at food trucks that I could go by. No way. So yeah, I'm like, because at that point I was like, I'll just get an LLC. Yeah. Brew it out of my garage. Yeah. And then sell it out of beer trucks at festivals. See, there you go. So you see when opportunity knocks, you better be ready to open the door. Yeah. So look out for Redbeard Brewery. There you go. Oh, had the name for a while. I used to be a red beer brewery. Can't feel it now. I used to be a Twitch streamer for a while and I was Redbeard. That's what everyone called me. That's so cool. So I just kind of kept with the name. My wife, years ago when I first had the idea of doing it, got a growler custom etched with a Redbeard brewery logo on it. So there you go. See? Yeah, dude, it's rad. And I think that that's kind of the whole point, right? Is be OK with taking the big leap, right? That's kind of the whole point of what we talked through is like there is a pretty relative part of people that has to be like, the everyday person, right? You have to go and do work. Yep. And it's not to say that's necessarily true for everyone. Yeah. But the reality is that the vast majority of people, they get up and they go to work. It would be cool if you were able to do exactly what you want to do every day. Yeah. That's a win, right? That's the thing. So, I mean, sure, do it. Why not? What kind of beers do you brew? My goal is to have a kind of a variety. The two in specific that I absolutely loved because I used to make it was an Amber Ale and a Kolsch. OK. So my Kolsch was one of the first ones I ever experimented with. Back when I got really good, I was like, I want a higher ABV Kolsch. I looked it up. Standard Kolsch is like four and a half to five and a half. Mine was seven point two. Oh, wow. So I called it the knocked up Kolsch, but it still got that nice citrus flavor to it. Yeah, tasted like a Kolsch just with a little bit more in the back. Sure. And then I specifically at the time, my sister, her name's Amber. Yep. There you go. She loves loved Amber Ales. So I actually was able to make one and I called it the sassy broad. It's been hilarious. It's awesome. Had her picture on it. It's like St. Pauli girl, but with just your sister. That would be awesome. So that'll probably be the first two. If I do, it'll go back to but I'm a huge IPA guy. Yeah. So I'm definitely going to kind of special. When I when I was a drinker, I was an IPA guy. IPAs are great. Yep. IPAs are great. So yeah, we're just kind of diving in here. What sets Redbeard Brewery apart from other breweries? What makes you different? We've got five floors. Five floors. That would be interesting. I like five floors. Five floor sounds rad, but like is the first floor just like recreation? Like just shit ton of cornhole boards and tops? Yeah, I mean, for me, it would be the atmosphere. I feel like breweries already have a good atmosphere. But realistically, the style that I'm going for, we went to a brewery in Florida where it was just one big open area. You had an area for kids. So, you know, bring your kids, you know, they had toys and games and all that. And then just it was a big hall and they had just one wall was the bar. And then they had picnic style seating. Sure. And like you just interact with everybody. Yeah. So you're not by yourself. It's a garden. It's a beer garden. Yeah. So for me, it would just be the atmosphere. It would be the fun place to go to. Like, you know, you're not just going like, hey, I'm just going to have a beer. You want to go have a beer. We'll have bar seating in some areas. So if you just want to sit and have a beer, awesome. I love to do that, too, sometimes. Sure. But it would be the family atmosphere of it where you just you can get along with everybody. That's so cool. You know, I say this in my regular life a lot. I say it occasionally on the podcast, but as one of my role models would say, Brian Shaw, don't be afraid to be great, man. Go out and do it. Go out and be great. Yeah, chase it. Well, we've talked about this a lot, you know, and I think that there's many reasons why people don't ever do that thing they want to do, but it just takes one reason to do it. Right. I love this thing. This is what makes me happy. No matter what that is. I mean, it'd be nice if it wasn't like a self-harming type of thing, you know? Let's maybe say that we keep those off the table. But the reality is, is like, you know, just don't enjoy it. What's so wrong with enjoying what you do and then being able to, you know, run whatever business you want to run? And create an enjoyable experience, like the whole family aspect. I like that. You bring your kids, leave taboo at the door. We're not bringing kids into a bar. We're bringing kids in to hang out. And what I've always wanted to see, I've never seen one. So if you guys have, I stand corrected, but I have never seen just a pizza oven, like wood burning pizza oven in the corner of a brewery. And I think that'd be so cool. That'd be rad. You don't offer any other food but pizza. Okay. Yeah, that'd be rad. So there is one that I have to offer and it's because of my wife. So in Oklahoma, I was a bartender. We had the best deviled eggs ever at the bar. So my wife, when she would leave the winery she worked at, would come sit at the bar while I worked. My bar manager, every single time she would show up, would give her an order of deviled eggs. No way. So deviled eggs are just, you don't think about it, but they're such a good just social drinking snack. Absolutely. So it's pretty hearty though. We would have deviled eggs. See, I like that because then you're drawing in a crowd like me. Yeah. That doesn't drink, but I want to be social. Yeah. Well, but also at the same time, the reality too is exactly that. Like, and you can attest to this more than anybody, Nick. Like the reality is that if you are providing an atmosphere that is, I would say kind of like non-committal and like very open and welcoming, right? Then you're creating a healthy relationship with any form of whatever it may be. In this case, it's alcohol. Exactly. But the fact is, is that like, okay, well, it's important to have that healthy relationship with just about anything out there. Yeah. So, I mean, it's reality. That's cool, man. And I do plan on brewing non-alcoholics. I'm in. There you go. St. Pauli Grandma. Love it. Stole that from a movie. Stole and grew up. Hilarious movie. But yeah, man, that's awesome. I mean, we've talked about that a lot. I don't think there's any reason not to go for that. It's cool. We both like beer. Explore it. Explore it, man. That's cool. Well, and that leads into the other part of the conversation that we talked about, which is the other podcast. We want to get that up and rolling again. And I mean, I'm pretty much just like, you know, let's just figure out what that looks like. Let's just do it, right? Yeah. What are your thoughts on that? Because that could really help both. Yeah. I mean, 100%, that would be the nice thing about owning a brewery, is you've got that little more free time in between certain things. So we can, I mean, if I have a big enough space at the brewery, you know, that's a great atmosphere to be able to pour that. But also just the fun videos that we could make just surrounding you. Of course. So, you know, we've always had good ideas for TikTok and all that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I can go a step further in brewing process and kind of use that also to help teach others that want to come home brew. Yeah. So lots of options. So then let's just say you had like a dream scenario for the podcast. What's like the big thing you would implement to make it like really on point? For relational points here, the podcast is called Conversations and Libations. We had it on for a couple of seasons and then we wanted to roll it back out. We kind of disbanded, so to speak, because of the situation, not bad between us or anything or even with David. That was just what happened. And then we kept like things got in the way, life got in the way, just figuring it all out. Uh-oh, uh-oh. What happened? I was flagging him down to get me a sparkling water, but he left too soon before I could ask if you guys wanted one. Hensley! Hensley! Don't use that tone. He's a teenager. I always forget. His voice is dropping. It's weird. Have you heard it? Yeah. Hey, can you get several dozen sparkling waters? He's going to act like he doesn't hear you. Classic. I'm going to ban him from the recording board. I know. I'm just going to put a sign on this. No Hensley's allowed. Zero old walls. This is like one of the best things about this podcast is like my kids walk by and I'm like, whoa, hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Or we're like, hey, Hensley Madden, can you Google this for us? Yeah. Do something cool. Yeah, that's fair. That's pretty nice. Anyway, sorry, back into it. So for Conversations and Libations, what's like a dream thing you would change? I mean, I don't know that I would change much. I thought we had, we were going pretty nicely, you know, with it. So I don't know that I would really. Thank you, buddy. I appreciate you, man. I would love a bottle of water. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for my still water, dude. Still water. I didn't know you grew up in Beverly Hills. It's boss. The boss with a V. Got your boss water. Yeah. Hey, thanks, man. Hey, thank you. That just makes you keep doing things. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. I always quote at least one movie. That's what I was saying. Grownups. That's why I came up with St. Polly Grandma. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're sitting around. Do you have any boss? Yeah, make sure you can't get some of that boss water. It's boss with a V. Awesome. Sorry. That's like the fifth time we've interrupted you. I know. Classic. Yeah, I mean, I don't know that I would change much. Sure. More consistency. I mean, kind of that was one of our big things. Get the ability like we wanted to be able to release. Right. Weekly. And every week with lots of content between. Yeah, we had lots of good ideas, which some of them are still going to come about once I get a chance to actually build the bar I want in my garage. Right, right. To get back to just the TikTok shorts and the fun videos there. That's cool, man. Yeah, I mean, just if we did get it back up and running, I think it would be the consistency more than anything. Yeah, yeah. Because our content was great. I mean, I do think we had a good show was good. Yeah, I think the show was good. It had a lot of cool aspects to it. I agree. Awesome, dude. No, man, it's cool. And I mean, we've talked. It's hard for me to ask a lot of questions. We talk so much about your job and past that crap. But, you know, talking about the brewery idea and things you want to do there is always really cool. And yeah, man, I mean, it just is I think it can come together. Would you? There's a reason. Would you do brewery tours and. Y'all show how it's. Of course. Yeah, I think starting out, probably not. Just right. I guess. Come tour the garage. But I'm thinking long term building. I think long term. I don't know that I would want to get super big. Yeah. But like a Sam Adams size, you know, still be able to consider. Not super big. A micro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also be able to be in multiple states. Yeah. So that's fair, man. That's cool. I think doing some brewery tours and stuff, definitely one idea I had because it took me a while just to learn how to homebrew in general. Right. I would I want to do classes eventually to show people. So do because I mean, granted, I'll be doing big batches, but take them back to what I did when I started. Right. I'm making one gallon batches. You're making approximately 10.8 bottles of beer. Yeah. You know, because that's all it was. They say a 12 pack, but it never never. My dad was a big brewer. Oh, nice. He loved brewing. He had a really good oatmeal stout. He did a coffee stout. Okay. That was pretty good. I never tried any of the stouts. Yeah. He was he was pretty he had stouts down. Yeah. Yeah. He had them down and it was a lot of fun. I remember when I was a kid every now and then because he made us root beer a lot. And root beer, root beer. Rut beer. Root. Root beer. Root beer. Root tour beer. I don't know what to do with my hands right now. It's hot. Car ran real well. Dude, that's like the one word, like one, well, I guess like hyphenate, you know, that's like the one statement that sets people apart and how they speak. Yep. It's like it's like saying route and root. It's like, oh, man, a whole different. I say route. I say route. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're out. Milk or milk. To see how. What did you say? Milk or milk. There's no E. Yeah. I know. So it's. But people say milk. It's milk. It's milk. It's milk. Right. If you say anything other than milk, you're just wrong. I've never heard anybody in Kansas say it though. In Michigan, it's big. Really? Yeah. You hear milk. Well, is it just like a regional accent? It must be. I've lost mine for the most part, but I remember when we first moved here, I'd get made fun of with some of the words. What do they call a carbonated beverage with dark pop ring? Okay. We call it pop, too. Yeah. Yeah. Not soda. Pop. I'll say both sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I go back and forth. I go back and forth here a lot, too. Yeah. Living here. Never said soda when I lived in Michigan. Yeah. See, I never say pop. It's always. Is it soda for you? Honestly, no. I say what I'm getting. I'm going to go. Oh, I got you. Yeah. I'm going to go like. So I think I probably would say soda more than pop. Okay. For me, it's generally like, hey, I'm going to grab a Mountain Dew. Like, I don't say soda more. Yeah. Yeah. We just got some limited edition Mountain Dew at my work. What? What? Yeah. I don't really know why. What's limited edition Mountain Dew? Can I have some? I don't even remember what it's called, but it's like I'd have to look at it, but it's wild. The fact that like our soda machine, nobody knew what it was. And I was like, well, we got to try that. Interesting. Yeah. So the boys made their own Baja Blast. Nice. You know how you can do it? No. Blue Gatorade. Yeah. Regular Mountain Dew. Oh, nice. Dude, it's Baja Blast. That's rad. All day long. Yep. That's rad. Yep. I'm in for that. I will, real quick, back to the words and how we say stuff, because we all know it's a road here in town. Oh, die. Warnel. Yeah. And I'll leave it at that. Warnel. Warnel. Warnel. Warnel. Warnel or Warnel Road. I say Warnel. Warnel. Now I've lost its meaning. It's like bowl. OK. I have to totally bring up a Michigan one now. Another one. So we have a town in Michigan called Charlotte. It's spelled the exact same way as Charlotte, North Carolina. See, Missouri has Miami, which is, it's Miami. Miami. It's spelled Miami. Oh, Nevada. Or Nevada. Nevada, yeah. Have you ever seen the YouTube video of Californians try to say Kansas city names? Oh, yeah. No. Oh, yeah. It is hilarious. I've seen this with all kinds of different people. Olathe is one of them. And they say Olathe. Olathe. My parents say Olathe. Taganaxi was one of them. And it was like Tonganakawa. They had no idea what they were trying to read. Dude, when I was at the police department, I would get a lot of calls. And it'd be from different agencies or whatever. Or it'd be somebody out of town calling a non-emergency line or something. And they would say things. Hilarious. One of the biggest ones was Wyandot. People just could not spell. They couldn't say Wyandot. It came out as Wyandot. I was like, OK, spell it out. Here we go. Sound this out. How might one use the letters? And it's just funny because I am certain that I do the same thing in other cities. Oh, yeah. But it's just hilarious. Us being here forever, we're like, what? Well, Nevada was one of them. I called it Nevada. I was like, oh, Nevada. People looked at me like, no, this is Nevada. Who the hell is this guy? Here's one. It's not really. It's kind of a play off of it. It's more of what we call a garden tool in Michigan. We call them weed eaters here or weed whacker. We call them weed whips. Weed whips. In Michigan. That feels like a great band name. I know, right? Yeah, we call them weed whips. Interest. I mean, I do, yes, I do get that. I get laughed at all the time. You know, I'll tell stories when I'm cutting hair and I'm like, hey, the weed whip out. And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. A what? I've never heard of a weed whip. You probably use one, dude. On the Missouri side. I've never used a weed whip. We've never seen one. Yeah, on the Missouri side where weed is legal, they're probably thinking, whip the what? Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah, how do I do this? Awesome. Now we know that you say weird things. I do. Interesting. Very interesting. Anyway, take a quick break. Cool. Grab back. Brolin. Are we back? We're back, baby. We're back. We back, baby. What a break. What a break. That was fun. Talked about the same thing we talked about the first day. Yep. Four hours long. Great break. Great break. We like to finish our episodes about one or two in the morning. Yeah. That's it for rushing. It's true comedy. It's true comedy right there. So, Andrew, the first portion of the episode here, we talked about what is the Andrew. Now we need to talk about who is the Andrew. Who is it you would say you are? You got three words. Describe yourself. He's thinking. Do I hear an ice cream truck in the background? Is there an ice cream truck up there? Oh, Hensley's playing the piano. I was like, what am I hearing? Yeah, you were on, though. I was like, what are you talking about? What am I hearing? Yeah, he's playing the piano. Yeah, we had a little bit of a break there. All right. Three words. Yep, three words. Not that one. Outgoing. Okay. Helpful. Godly. Okay. Radical. I love it. Radical. Now, I'm all on board for that. I'm all on board for that. I ask that because a lot of other questions are going to come off of that. Okay. One of the things we talk about all the time. One of the things that actually pisses our wives off is that we play games against each other all the time. Okay. That's the best part. I think, did you know this? That we play these like text games. On the iPhone, there's the app called Game Pigeon. Oh, yeah, Game Pigeon. Yeah, we're just, we're constantly playing pool or. Yeah. Mini golf or. Beer pong. I've played Billiards. Oh, Battleship. Yeah, and Billiards. Yeah. We've run through that list quite a few times. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's fine. Well, except for 20 questions. We can't figure out how to win. That's possible to win. That one is not good. But we have multiple hundreds of wins on most of the games. Oh, that's awesome. But it just makes our wives so mad. Yeah. Are you really playing that? Yep. Well, I'm not fake playing that. Yeah. But my wife will go to bed and roll over and just see mini golf on my phone. And she's like, tell Nick to go to bed. That's great. Nick's got an infant, a young little boy. That's great. Yep. So all that aside, one thing that you do that I'll tell you just pisses me right off. The pickles, man. What is the deal with the pickles? Okay. So for background, I love pickles. Yeah, I don't. Pickles are great. We are the opposite ends. And I don't know why, but it has inspired me to any time I ever have anything pickle pop up on my TikTok, I have to send it to him. Yeah. Well, and it's gotten to the point where I just have not checked my TikTok page or whatever messages for ever in a while. I don't know, dude. I get so much spam crap on there that I very rarely check it. And then when I do, I have like 15 to catch up on. So I'm just like, you get like an on-slot of reactions from me all at once. Nine out of 10 videos for the longest time was just pickle recipes. Oh my gosh. And it's just disturbing. That is disturbing. Yeah, I don't know. It was one of those like, I'm very against him hating pickles. Yeah, he really is. It's true. My hope is that if I send him enough that maybe he'll eventually. What's your favorite pickle thing? I mean, besides just eating pickles. You're not just going to go eat a random pickle, right? I do all the time. No, I know. I'm saying, I'm stating, yes, that's the case. What is like a pickle flavored thing that's your favorite thing? Pickle beer. Ooh, I don't know about that one. You'd be surprised. And I don't know what it is. So there's one in particular that I really like. It's basically like a light ale, but it has pickle like pickle juice in it. It is super refreshing. Like this is a beer that I will go mow my lawn and then sit in a lawn chair and sip on. It is amazing. Pickle beer. It is so good. I can't give too much crap because I know that people will put like a beer in a spear, but yeah, they'll put a pickle in their beer or whatever. Okay, gross. What is something you wish was pickle flavored? Oh, that's a really good question. Well, he loves pickles. There's so many things out there that are already pickle flavored. Yeah, but there's something out there that's not that you wish was. I know there's something. Are you talking like the flavor with the texture? Like something you like texture wise to eat or drink, but. Yeah. Okay. Let's say, for example. Pickle Skittles. Exactly. Pickle Jolly Rancher. Yeah. I mean, just a pickle candy could be nice. Just something to eat. But we get these Oh, snaps. They're like little, yeah, they're single serve little pictures. And to me, that's my pickle candy. I'll go slightly different on that, not something that isn't pickle flavor, but something that I know has a pickle flavor, but was gross. I had a pickle flavored whiskey once and I feel like they could have done better. Yeah. So that I wish I wish that would be better because I think because I like spicy pickles. Okay. So like that pickle whiskey was kind of good because it you get the pickle with the bird. So I think if they redid that, I think. Okay. So then we'll red beard brewery. One pickles on tap. We will have a pickle beer. One pickles on tap. What about just like a make your own? Like you'll make your own pickle chips or whatever. Oh, that'd be cool. Yeah. Dehydrated pickle pizza crust. Well, I was thinking like you actually. Not like make the Italian style pizza, make like. Well, like you're talking about, he's talking about like the like a white sauce pizza with pickles on it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I've had a cheeseburger pizza and they, you can put pickles. Oh, this is dude, I'm on board with this one. Stuffed crust, but not cheese. It's pickles. That's terrible. I'm in, I'm in on that. Katie's obsessed. My wife's obsessed with pickles like you are. So one Christmas. I got her pizza with pickles on the crust. Dude. Yeah. Nope. Pickle of the month club. Oh, I got her. Yeah. That was her all time favorite gift I've ever gotten her. What? Wait, I have not heard of this. What is pickle? I'm going to find it. My email. I'll send it to you. This is ridiculous. You guys are. You get pickles from all over the world. Every month she would get like three or four jars. That's awesome. Yeah. So that was my thought was like you would make your own like actual pickles. Like you'd have like pickles. You could just eat them. This is also not as ridiculous as David in the videos. He was sending up the one guy that would do weird stuff with pickles. He would do weird stuff with all kinds of objects. Any, any, that's a real, it's actually as bad as it sounds. Yeah. Any phallic shaped object he would do something weird with. Oh my gosh. It would be like, it would be like, like a board, right? Like, yeah. So like a two by four. There's like 30 pickles just like screwed into that board. And it's just like this bald dude just like thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. It's got hundreds of millions of views on this guy's channel. It's unbelievable. Yeah. It's unbelievable. I can't, I can't even give the guy credit because it's, I, I don't remember his name. No, I'll, I might be able to still find that. And pretty funny actually. Like it's. Yeah, it's hilarious. Yeah. I mean, I was just like, what is happening? Look what I just sent Nick. Dill with it. It's garbage. I don't have time for your guys' crap. I have an emotional support pickle that sits on my desk. And it says on days that you're having a rough time, just remember you're a big dill. Love it. That's a little phallic. Dude, I like that. So much wrong with that. So much wrong. And then you just pick it up and squeeze it. Yep. All right. Okay. I wonder if they could make a green paint that smells like pickles. I'm sure they could, but that sounds disturbing. They do already have like paint, they're called paint refreshers and you can pour it in paint. It kind of changed the scent of it. So we specifically. Change the scent of how? Okay, hold on. It's, it's just a chemical that you put in there that. I understand the compound itself and keeps it on the wall. What's the purpose of scenting your paint? So I had one person recently do it. They bought the linen smelling one and they wanted to put it in their laundry room. Just to always kind of have it smell. No way. So your laundry room doesn't just smell like what? Okay, time out, time out. Let's ask a better question. If you are getting linen scented paint. Not that anyone's wrong for doing so. What is your actual reason for that? Because if your idea is I'm going to put it in my laundry room so that way my laundry room smells like a laundry room. What is laundry room smell then? Okay, so I do agree with you on a. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On a lower DIY type. I agree with you. It's kind of pointless. Interesting. Now I sell it by the jugs to apartment complexes. Oh, so when they come in and do a refresh, they pour it in there. So because they're just trying to flip real fast. They don't know what smells are in there. They're just trying to get it clean. They don't want it smelling like paint. So when they come to view and tour, then they got a good smell when they come in. So I quite literally sell them by the gallon jugs to apartment complexes and nursing. No kidding. Nurse comes. That's a good one. We probably want that one to smell like Febreze. I mothballs. Yeah, I wish I had come up with this idea of scented chemicals to put in paint. However, people will buy anything. Why are we not quadrillionaires? Yep. And the main brand in here has the best pun name too because it's called Paint Scent-sations. Oh, man. Nice. Wild. Good work. Oh, yeah. Was that your thing? You came up with that? I wish. Right. Hey, did Martin ever get back to you on that? I would be at a brewery right now if I came up with that. Yeah, exactly. All right. So where did this pickle, I don't even know what you'd call it, infatuation come with? That's unfortunate. It just got worse when I found out you hated pickles. So the seven-year switch of the taste buds just never didn't switch them, huh? Love pickles. Wow. Love the same crap. My wife just found a spicy Cheeto pickle flavor. Oh, dang. It was really good. Spicy Cheeto pickle flavor. It was like a hot Cheeto. Oh, my gosh. But pickle? Can you tell? Can you tell the hot Cheeto story? Oh, oh, God. Dude, buckle up. This is great. All right. I'm already on board. And I'm hyping it a lot, but this is pretty funny. OK, so I don't even know how to start the... So these pickle hot Cheetos sitting in my car one day eating lunch, you know, Cheeto dust. So bad. And spicy Cheeto dust is red, really bad. Having a child, I've got wet wipes in the car. So I'm just wiping them down. Don't have anywhere to put them. So I just stick them in the center console. I'll throw them away later. Hours later, I forget they're even there. Driving home from work and I had kind of a near craziness. I was going off of 119th. I was going under the bridge off 69th. OK, yep. Going west. So towards Olathe. OK. I was about to go to the bridge. I was in the intersection and all of a sudden a car flies down, runs a red light, nearly misses me. I'm talking an inch from me, plows the car in front of me. I am like thinking in my head, like, how am I alive? The cop even was like, if he would have went straight, you'd be dead because it was on my driver door. Oh, dude, no. So this happens. He hits two cars in front of me. He plows into the bridge. Cops rush him, whatever. One of the cops like, hey, did you get hit? I said, no, but it happened right in front of me. He goes, I want your statement. Pull over here. Cool. We get up to the car. I'm parked in the nearby parking lot. This cop walks up, just, you know, nonchalant, looks in my driver mirror, driver side door, and just starts freaking out. Oh my God. Are you hurt? What's happening? Are you bleeding? I was like, what are you talking? I'm literally just sitting here. The red stained wet wipes are in my sitter console. I mean, you can't make that up. So I'm like, what are you talking about? He points. I was like, oh, that's Cheeto dust. The cops like, dude, we've been chasing this guy for 30 minutes. That just saved my day. That's awesome. Isn't that ridiculous? Cheeto dust. That's ridiculous. So he's just got this crazy, ridiculous look. Yeah, you got to show him the photo. Yeah, I still have the photo taken. I mean, that was ridiculous. That is nuts. That is ridiculous. Yeah, that's not one that happens every day. You can't make that up. The cop and I just laughed so hard. Well, yeah. You got Cheeto dust, wet wipes laying there, I mean, they do. They look bad. They look bad. Now I got to try and find the photo. Oh my gosh. Did you delete it or did you just take that many photos since last week? Uh, we had a daddy daughter date the other day. So you took 450 photos just that day. There was a lot of photos taken that day. Wow. Dude, that was wild. And it's crazy to think like, yeah, that's what came of that situation. And that saved his day. That's right. The cop flat out said, he's like, this just helped my day. I also may have taken on my work. Who cares? Either way. I'll find it later. That's funny. It was, I mean, because it was five or six wipes. Sure. Because they were just cut. I ate like half the bag. And it's wet and they sat there all day and it baked. Oh yeah. And the color just bled through. Yeah. That's hilarious. Yeah. Dude, it's wild. It's wild. Such a ridiculous story. Nice, man. Well, let's dig in a little bit more out of your ridiculous nature of loving pickles as much as you do. That's just wild to me. We could have a whole episode just on pickles. I like pickles. I actually, I do love pickles, but my wife and you I think would be best buddies. That's just terrible. Oh, thank you. They're so good. They are really good. You guys can go start your own pickle podcast. I love the little minis. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. I'm obsessed with cucumbers. I love cucumbers. I do like cucumbers, but I don't like them. How do you not like pickles? It's not the same thing. I mean, it's not. The texture is close. They are quite literally pickled cucumbers. Texture is fine. So texture is fine. It's just flavor. It's just the flavor. I just don't like the flavor of pickle. Because I love dill pickle sunflower seeds. Yeah. No, I'm out on that. I've had a couple different brands that made them. There was one that was just way too salty. And so I didn't like those. It was probably. I know all the brands. There was one of those. The best brand I've had is smackin. Smackin is good. Those are pretty good. Yeah, those are pretty good. Okay, we'll move on from pickles. Stupid pickles. So then what's a food you hate? They're not super picky, but there's definitely something out there that you won't eat. Let's just say not that you won't eat it. You don't prefer to eat it. Like, quite literally, there's not. There's no way you're just a garbage disposal. I am. I love. Look at me. That's not the point, Andrew. There's only one thing that I don't like, but it's only in one way. Broccoli. I love broccoli. I love it raw. I love it cooked. I don't like it microwaved the next day. The smell that comes off. The smell's nasty. Yeah, I agree. That is quite literally the only thing. Leftover broccoli, I will just eat cold. If we cook broccoli the night before and I have it with my lunch the next day, I'll just eat it cold. And then I'll warm up my other food. That really is the only thing. I mean, that's fair. That's fair. The smell, though, is off-putting. Yeah, it is just the smell. I agree with that. Oh, funny story about that. I don't like the texture of tofu. Yeah, I can understand that. I don't necessarily mind tofu, though. I've had it randomly in other things, kind of on accident. I've had fried tofu that was pretty good. I'm certainly not going to go to it myself. Yeah. You get an outer crunch to an inner just weird givey-ness. That was the only thing. But the flavor was fine. I can't do tofu. I lived in Japan for two years. Yeah. I would never just eat it intentionally, truthfully. It's not something I would order. Nope. Yeah. Or go buy in particular. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So broccoli. Okay, so I have a ridiculous story about broccoli. I was like maybe 10 when I was walking out of, I don't know, maybe... Oh my gosh, man. Oh, yeah. That's ridiculous, isn't it? Yep. I could see where you would think you were bleeding. I mean, it looks like it, doesn't it? You look like you're bleeding out. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. He's just over here stuffing it into like a wound. You've seen the picture then? Yeah, I've seen it. Holy crap, man. That's crazy, isn't it? That's what really makes that story hilarious. Wow. Yeah. Quite literally, it looks like I was just holding it against an open wound. Yeah. Wow. Bad deal, bad deal. I was like, no, that's cheeto dust. Just cheeto dust. With a visual that makes that story even. It was already good. Yeah. Makes it way better. That makes it great. Yeah, way better. Yeah. So I'm maybe 10, right? And I think we're walking out of like an olive garden. And cooked broccoli sometimes smells great, sometimes smells terrible. So this guy is walking out in front of me, and he's probably, I don't know, mid-20s or something, walking out with his wife or girlfriend or whatever. And he's like, my gosh, what is going on? She's like, what are you talking about? He's like, someone shit in their pants. She's like, what are you talking about? Somebody shit in this box and give it to me. And I'm just dying. I'm just like this little kid not knowing what's going on. And I mean, he just keeps going down this road. And I mean, all the weights. I mean, it was like a movie. He's getting into his car. He's like, I got to sit. This is going in the truck bed. There's no way this is getting much. Yeah, that's great. I mean, it was just ridiculous. And he's so not wrong. Yeah. Dude, sometimes it does smell pretty bad. Yeah. Sometimes it smells pretty bad. And that's how sometimes you can tell that it's been reheated. Oh, sure. Yeah. Yeah, it just depends on what you do with it. It's true. Bad deal. Okay. Okay. Well, Nick, what do you got? Anything fantabulous? I mean, I've got a whole list of our other ones. We can dive into that. All right. So then let's ask a better question here to get a little bit more idea. I've had my own daddy-daughter dates and they're rad. How was your daddy-daughter date? It was fantastic. Isn't that so much fun? What did you do? So we already had planned to go to the daddy-daughter date. I get a text on my way home from my wife and all it said was she wanted to dress up. Oh, that's great. So she sends me. She didn't show me what she was wearing yet. I opened the door and my daughter's three and a half. She's just at that age to really comprehend a lot of stuff. She hears me opening the door and I hear her yelling and running. Daddy can't see me yet. And I'm like, oh, she's dressing up. So my wife didn't even know. I literally ran into our room real quick. Slack, slick the hair back, button up shirt. I was like, I'm getting ready for this daddy-daughter date. We didn't even do anything. We were in funny places dressed up and people were looking at us. That's their problem. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Don't care. Chick-fil-A for dinner. Oh, good. Perfect. Her all-time favorite place is Bass Pro. Love it. So we literally just walked around. That's awesome. Saw the fish, did all that. The day before a daddy-daughter date, my daughter's fish died. So we had to have a conversation with her about that. She did great with that, surprisingly. We were really worried. So we did Bass Pro and then we went to Petco to buy a new fish. Even better. We're sitting in Petco. She's in this nice dress. Right. I'm in a button-up and slacks and we're walking through with a little beta. Awesome. That's the way to do it. Bass Pro walking around. We looked so out of place. But there were multiple women that worked there. Oh, sure. They knew. Oh, yeah. You could tell they knew what was happening because they had big smiles on their face. Yeah. That's cool, man. It was a lot of fun. So we got to talk about your slick back hair. We have to talk about this. This is an intervention. Okay. Thank you for showing up to your intervention. Your slick back hair literally looked like... I mean, it just looked like you just dipped your hand into a bowl of grease and just went straight back through your hair. So a little insight. So my hair... And you've already got wavy hair. Yeah, you've already got good wavy hair, which is the funny part. So it's really curly. So if I don't slick it back, it wants to bunch up. So they made fun of me one morning. I did my hair to go to church and everyone made fun of the way my hair looked. Because they're like, you did not do your hair. I was like, I did. I tried. My wife hates when I slick my hair back because she just doesn't like how it looks. Gives you the John Travolta vibes. It's quite literally the only option to really make it look good. If I don't have a hat on. That's hilarious, though. But yes, 100%. If I... I mean, when he slicks it back and he really slicks it back, I mean, it's... He kind of looks like he might... Oh, that's good, man. Yeah. Yeah. I quite literally, I mean, I'm... I'm doing... Heck yeah. The funny reference we have is the old Spike kids. Oh, yeah, yeah. They're literally pulling the comb back. That's what I have to do to get to lay down. And then, of course, does your comb get stuck, just break in there? No, that does not happen. He's doing homework. It's about time. I know. But... Doing homework straight at his students. So I get the perfect like old school John Travolta where he's like perfectly slicked back and then the bottoms just curl up and out. Heck yeah. I mean, that was what happened. It doesn't look bad. I just have to give him crap for it. Oh, yeah, you have to. Anybody who slicks their hair back, you got to give them a little grief. That's right. She absolutely hates it. So I've learned if I know I have something to do in the afternoon, if I slick it back in the morning, it kind of slowly loses it and then just kind of looks nice and relaxed by the evening. Same there. There you go. But I'm actually... It's funny you mentioned intervention. Debating, cutting it back down a little bit because... Really? It is going a little bit. You've had it for a while, though. I started... You had the longer length for a while. I think it was last March or April when I started growing it out. Been a little bit, yeah. My wife literally was like, you should grow your hair out. At that point, I didn't have a choice. I'm like, okay. Got a great barber guy. If you know anybody. Got a guy. I know a guy. Yeah. I know a guy. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's weird. She just had to ask me how she knew his number. All right. He's grumpy, but... He is. He's a little grumpy, especially if he gets tired. He sits there in his barber chair. This is what I sent Nick earlier. Or last night. It was last night. This is so funny. Let me see here. We were talking... Oh, he asked how the trip was. I said, on the plane now. So much fun. Glad you got to make it happen. I said, me too. It was a really good time. And you still game for tomorrow. I said, yes, I'll be tired and jet lagged, but ready to rock. The earlier, the better for sure. And I said, 5.36 o'clock. He said, sweet, let's do it. And then I said, good night. Yeah, slams his head down. Beautiful. Oh, man. That's great. That's amazing. Yeah, dude. I totally agree, though. Daddy daughter day, it's great. That's fun. Getting dressed up is great. Gotta do what you gotta do. That's the one thing that we're gonna keep a regular thing with. She's getting better at being okay with her little brother, but I want her to still know that we still get those times. Just takes time. It's the same with our daughter. It's reality. Just like anything else. We do that. With them, I'll even have one-on-one. Well, yeah. I mean, you have to. Father, son. You have to. Let's go. I think that that's an important aspect of being a father or a mom or whatever. And I think that it's important to have those times with your kids individually. And then there's things that you, of course, want to do just with your kids together as you as the father, but also your wife will do the same. That's just stuff. It's fun. Yeah. It's harder when they're younger, but they're more sustainable on their own. I'm in that season where I took Madden to the NASCAR race. Nice. Oh, great. Yeah. That was a riot. And Katie and Hensley were palling around and doing whatever they were doing. There you go. This weekend, you know, she had both of them one-on-one. I was. Yeah. It was cool. We have fun. See, that's awesome, man. That's what it's all about. Yeah. Good time. All right. You ready for this? Yep. Maybe. All right. Mostly because I have this this topic just absolutely geared up. What is something that you do that your wife thinks is way more, let's go with, exaggerated than it actually is? I can give you an example if you need some help. We could pull out the Mother's Day. Oh, yeah. Do you need me to give you an example? I mean, I think I know where you're going with it, but I think for me, here's the answer I'm going to give. And if it's not what you're looking for, just tell me. For me, it's when I like, so right now she's pregnant. I come home from work. And I'll do the dishes. I'll do the laundry. I'll do anything I can to help her out. And in her mind, you've worked all day. You come home. You do all this stuff. Yes, my work is more exhausting mentally because I don't like my job. It's not that exhausting physically. So coming home and doing stuff isn't even that big of a deal for me. But she's like, no, you do so much. I'm like, sure, it's really not that much. So then I'll do one more thing. Yeah, it's like, you're right. Yeah, I literally did it just the other day. All of a sudden, I was at the kitchen sink and she told me to sit down. And then she realized I did the dishes until after I was done. Nice 10 minutes. Yeah. So let's go the other direction because if you were to ask my wife how I am when driving on the road with other drivers, you'd get a different answer from her than from me. I would be I'm like, hey, sir, you could have given me a blinker, please. Grr. But if my wife were to tell you the story, she'd be like, yeah, you were just like, that's what you'd hear. And that's probably actually. No, that's that's hilarious. That's that's fair. That's fair. Yeah, I've had I've had some moments like that. But yeah, that's my wife's big exaggeration. It's my my mouth on the road. Based on previous conversations we've had about your driving, I kind of want to believe her. Well, see, the funny part is, is just like anything, I'm never in the wrong, right? You know, it's just like any other driver out there. We're never in the wrong. It's other drivers are the problem. Yep. No. Okay. So it was funny because I got in like this tiny fender bender accident, like almost a year ago, and it 100% was my fault. Totally my fault. Like it was it was that we were just driving on the road. My lane was kind of clogging up. It was, you know, 5 p.m. traffic coming down I-35 south. So the sun's right in our face. I couldn't see that well in my rear view mirror where the sun was at. So I was just like basically looking at the sun. I was like, well, crap. So I I turn real quick to look and I turn back around the car stop. I mean, we're going 12. Like it's not even that big a deal, but you know, still happens. And I never heard the end of that one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you know, it's just and it's not that big a deal. It wasn't wasn't big deal, but it was just like, oh gosh, dang it. But genuinely, I'm a pretty careful driver. So when other people are not, I'm like, come on, man. That's me. I don't I don't get mad, but I do in my little bubble that I'm in. I'm like, dude, for real, man, I've got kids in the car. I've got a wife in the car. Don't be an idiot. This just happened this morning. I'm sorry. I'm going to cut you off. I was leaving the neighborhood this morning and I hope this lady is listening. She probably in your white Volkswagen Atlas. I bet she is. Dude, she and it wasn't my neighbor directly behind me. It wasn't her standards. No, it was not her. I know it was not her because she will not drive this way. That's hilarious. Maddie is very careful. That's hilarious. Tanner and Maddie both are very careful drivers. I'm the guy that you're like, is this guy creeping? Because I drive so slow, especially in neighborhoods, like they freak me out. She is on my bumper the whole way out of this neighborhood. I know I'm not doing the speed limit. I'm doing 19, but I'm in a neighborhood. You should be going like that. I turn right. I'm dropping Madden off at school. I turn right onto the road. She gets right up on me, floors it and passes me. Oh, wow. It's a double solid line. Madden was like, what is she doing? Nobody knows. Breaking the law. Dude, I was so angry because we have so many kids that walk to school. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And he's in the car, so I'm not getting that angry, but he knows I'm upset. And I'm like, don't ever drive that way. That's not safe. Deal with the car. They're going to get out of your way eventually. I'm too petty. I would have stomped on it. Well, I did hit my high beams. Honor gave her the warning. Don't do that. Well, she ended up peeling off and going right towards St. James. And then I was going out to drop Madden off. But when he got out of the car, I was like, stupid. I'm so mad. Yeah, I get it. Drives me crazy. I get it. That's how I am. So my situational base are my wife and kid in the car. Oh, yeah. But I don't ever get mad. Me neither. I have never been mad before. What's that like? You and I get along in a car. So one thing I used to do, so I used to drive CDL. I used to be a truck driver. And I was 100% the guy that would, you know, if a lane's merging and you still got people trying to fly by, I'm the truck in two lanes. Oh, nice. And I don't blame you. I'm the guy that I'm going down the road and you want to ride my ass. I'm going slower. Yeah, I will. I'm letting off that gas and I'm just going to coast until you go around me. I'm that guy. I'm that petty guy. Now, wife and kid in the car. Right. We just try to ignore it. Go. Go. Whatever. But if it's me by myself, oh, I will go five on the highway. You want to get behind me and ride me? Well, let's have some fun. Let's see how close you're willing to go. I found the best fix for somebody who's on you, tailgating you, was not the right checking. It is swerving that because then they think they're going to hit something and you watch them lock up their brakes. Oh, jeez. I played that game. I've never thought about it. It's awesome. Especially if you if you know you're clear and you can get over in that left lane or if you need to get over the right lane, if you know it's clear, swerve really fast, they lock their brakes up so fast. So dangerous. I will say so bad. I will say for those of people that do break check. I don't like it. So when I was a kid, it was me, my mom, my dad, and we were driving this truck and this car in front of us was just being a jack. Ended up break checking my dad and my dad almost hit him. I don't know how he didn't hit him, but we ended up the cops got involved because they were yelling at each other back and forth. Uh, the cop cited the guy for break checking for assault with a deadly view with a vehicle, like attempted assault because that. Wow. Yeah, because you're basically you're trying to get them to hit you. Yeah. So he actually got an attempted assault charge because he break checked my dad. Nice. Wow. That's a good that's a see. That's a good good ending story there. Yep. So don't break check. Just slow down. I mean, and I've I've done it a handful of times where I break check. Oh, yeah, I mean. But going back to the CDL thing real quick, I'm the guy that you liked. If I see that you need to get over, I lay back and I flash the high beams. And that's where I'm like, so I have a hard time because all if somebody's got their blinker on, I'm going to like slow down and let them in. But there's there's a window of time that you have to get in before I'm like, now you're just jacking up the road and I'm going to go past you. So that even happened today. Somebody then then they tried to get in. They like threw their hands up. I'm like, dude, I gave you 25 minutes. I was basically home before you got in here. Like, sorry. That that's just, yeah, people pay attention. No, but anyway, good stuff. Yeah. Okay. What do you got, Nick? You want one? Go for it. Fire away. Let's do it. If you were arrested, what would your friends assume you did? Oh, great question. Drunken public. Flop that, dude. No time wasted. I love it. It's probably true. We've actually had that. I love that. Yeah, it would. Most of my friends, I probably wouldn't be able to call because they'd probably be with me. Nice. Maybe so there'd be that one that got away. The one that I would have to call. Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah, probably. If I were to call my wife, she'd be like, what'd you do now? Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Either drunk in public or just doing something stupid. Like it. Love it. Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses? One horse-sized duck. Never any chance in the world. No way. Ducks don't really have teeth, so they couldn't really hurt you. I still don't want to be swallowed by a whale. Point still stands. I don't think, I think you would just get away. I don't think so. I don't think you'd get away. Or if they did swallow you, you just make sure you have a knife. Punch your way out. Can that dog, or that dog, can that duck fly? Well, I mean, I would assume it's a duck. Oh shoot, man. I don't think you're running away. But a horse-sized duck? I don't know if they can get there. That's a big ass duck. That's a, yeah. If a goose can fight at goose size, it might be tougher than you think. I still think a horse-sized duck because I would just make sure I had a knife and let them swallow me and then just cut my way out. Cut your way out. I will say, though, it's kind of like, I think that ducks have kind of that ridged bill though, right? Where it kind of can cut you up. No. True. So that's not fun. I would be a kicking machine. I don't know. The hundred duck-sized horses makes me think of like, Gulliver's Travels where they're like... Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you're stuck. That is so funny. I love that movie. I would just picture it like, I mean, like the Mighty Ducks. It's just like, slap shot. Yep. Whacking the ground. Yep. True. Get out of here. Yeah, that would probably be me. I would definitely go the hundred horse-sized ducks. I don't know. I'd have to go with the horse-sized ducks. Or the duck-sized horses. Geez, man, I'm... Right there with you. I think I said the same thing. Yeah. So that's all good. But yeah, got to go with the little guys. Got to go with the little guys. Sheer size alone. You pick one up and just start swinging. Depends. Maybe a little bit of variation in there, you know? True. All right. All right. What do you got? All right. What's your most awkward wrong person text you've ever sent? That's a good one. I don't really have that, but I'll give you a good story for that. Yeah. So back when, you know, our age and middle school, high school, when we're first getting phones, the coolest thing, whatever, was if you could have a ringtone as a song. Yeah, like you're saying when I call you, I hear the song. Yeah. Or like when... No, like if you were to call me, I would have, you know, everyone had a different song. Yeah. So the song, I'm in love with a stripper. I don't know why, but like early high school, I loved that song. Oh, yeah. So that was my ringtone. But the problem is that was my default ringtone. So anybody that called... Oh, shoot. So we're out at dinner one night. It was me, my mom, dad, and my sister. Phone's on the table and it starts playing. I'm in love with a stripper. It was my grandma. Oh, that's a bummer. So... That is so much better than my question. 100% I changed it immediately. Oh, my gosh. I can't think of an awkward text, but that was pretty awkward when I said my grandma was calling me and it was playing I'm in love with a stripper. Yeah, that's better than the question I asked. Yeah, I respect that. Yeah. I respect that. Yeah, everybody has an awkward like... Wow. Yeah, like I love you to your like teacher or whatever and it's meant to be your wife. Yeah. I have one of those. I love you, babe. And it was to my mom. My mom's like, I love you too, buddy. Yeah. I accidentally said I love you to my college coach. Oh, nice. I know I've done that like on the phone with my mom where like I'm just like, babe, mom. Yeah, totally. Totally, totally. All right. I can dig it. I can dig it. All right. So you're going to have a festival. What is your... You're going to have an Andrew Fest, okay? So to speak. What are the three bands that are going to play at your music festival? Flogging Molly. Classic. Yes. Dropkick Marcy. Classic. And Doc McStuffins. I have a daughter about your daughter's age. I get it. I don't know. I mean, the big one that comes to my mind that I just I love is Blink 182. Sure. So go old school with it. Go that route. But yeah, it'd be like an Irish Fest. So primarily Irish. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's rad. I get down with that. Irish Rock. Yeah, I get down with that. I like it. Okay. All right. All right. Twisting my arm. All right. If your life was a movie, who's playing you and who's playing the villain? Wait, why do I have to have a villain? So you need a villain. You can't just have no antagonist, man. Make it easier. What actor is going to play you and what villain is in the movie with you? And who's going to play the villain? And who's going to play the villain? Because that definitely makes a difference. Yeah. I think playing me is Zach Galifianakis. That's hilarious. That's awesome. I feel, especially with the current hairstyle, beard and everything. I love it. Yeah. And he's great. I love him. Like my mind is going to, I forget his name though, the Asian guy in the Hangover movie. Oh my gosh, Ken Jeong. Ken Jeong, yeah. Dude, yes. Yeah. That's kind of where my mind's going because that's how it is in the movie. And it would be funny. I think that. How'd that sound? Yeah. It's a path. That's hilarious. Or mini me just to have a little guy. Oh man, yeah. That would be something. I like that. That would work too. I like that. I get down with that. All right. All right. I like it. If your life had a theme song, every time you entered a room, it played. What would it be? I'm in love with the stripper. I knew that was coming. I had a feeling it was coming too. I knew that was coming. I don't know. It's tough, right? It's tough. Like for me, I'm going to, because it's one of my favorite shows, How I Met Your Mother, kind of that opening theme song. It would be something similar to that. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Pretty chill laid back, kind of quirky. Yeah. Yeah. I can get down with that. Not too like, oh, he's here, but like, oh, he's here. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I like that. You know when you enter the room. Yeah. Because you're the only person that has a song play in the ether. Yeah. I like it. All right. All right. All right. I got another one. Fire away. What celebrity would you like to change lives with for one day? Nicolas Cage. Oh, dude. That's cool. I like that. Because you're a fan of his policies or? Always been my favorite actor. Yeah. Big fan. We've had this conversation. The fact that he's had so many different styles of character and can just bounce from one to another and play it all. I love his versatility. So I would absolutely love. And did you just say versatility? Versatility. It's okay. Close enough. I love it. The fact that he like bought a house in New Orleans specifically because it was haunted. Yeah. I love him as an actor and just a character in general. Sweet. I got to ask you that too. This is one we got to share, I think. Because mine will shock you, I think. That's a tough question. So can we clarify? Like it doesn't have to be like an actor, actress or anything, right? It just can be just like anybody. Celebrity. Yeah. I mean, I got to go with Brian Shaw. Okay. Yeah. I've always looked up to Brian Shaw. Yeah. He's like a super cool dude. He's a great dad. He's got super big goals with cool, you know, cool ways of achieving that. He's always got to pull at the heartstrings. Jeez, Nick. Well, I'm just a big fan. I mean, I almost almost exclusively wear his shirts on this podcast. You do. I think for the most part, I'm just a big fan of how he is with people. First of all, I think that he's a big supporter of people, which I am as well. And I think that just being in general, that he would be a really cool guy to hang out with. And, you know, then I can also meet Eddie Hall and that because they're like bros. Who wouldn't want to be bros with those two? That'd be sweet, man. Yeah. That'd be sweet. I'd be down with that big time. I like that. I don't know. There's a bunch of people, truthfully, that I could pull out. Yeah. A lot of people that I kind of- And I think it could change based off mood of the day, right? Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. But you hit it on the head, though, because he's versatile. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. His versatility is really- His versatility is perfect. Yeah. His versatility has vastness. There you go. I think another random one would be like, in a funny way, like Bryce and DeChambeau. Oh, yeah. Just so I can see what it's like to actually play good golf for one day. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I would totally hang out with him. That'd be fun. 100%. Yeah. All right. Now I'm intrigued. Who would yours be? Walter Matthau. Okay. Okay. He's a grumpy old man. Yeah. That'd be so much fun. That's fair. I mean, yeah. And when he was alive, he was like a bros bro. Yeah. Not afraid. I could see that. Just him. I could see that. He's a funny guy. Yeah. You know, I could get on board with that. What would you do, though? Honestly, drive around in my old caddy and yell at people. How does that change lives? That is, dear, you are on the wrong path. Okay. We're just yelling at people out of the Cadillac. That's hilarious. What does that even look like? She's like, oh my gosh, what just happened? Did I just get chewed out by Walter Matthau? It's some random guy. What did I do? Absolutely nothing. I just felt like it. Existed there. Yeah. Don't be right there. And I'm Walter Matthau. So everybody would laugh. Yeah. There you go. And I'd be like, I'm not joking. And they would laugh at that. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. I respect it. That one is wild. I think that, in general, that's a complex question. Because it's not as easy as just picking a person and going and doing a thing, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right. All right. Sean Connery would be fun, too. Yeah. Sean Connery would be fun. Man, there's a lot of people on my list, I think, that I could probably hang out with for a day. Dan Aykroyd would be hilarious. You know, here's the deal. The reality is, if we can get this podcast moving, man, we can hang out with people for a day a lot. Absolutely. See? That'd be fun. That would be so fun. And just talk to them about how they do things and change lives. Yeah. Why not? That could happen. That'd be a lot of fun. That's called dreaming. And then we could record at a brewery. Yeah. Yeah. I know a guy. He's going to have one this time next year. There you go, man. No, that's rad. That's really rad. OK. OK. So this is one of my new favorites because it really pulls things back. All right. So you walk into an ice cream shop and your favorite flavor is not there. What's your backup choice? So my main flavor is mint chocolate chip. OK. I was going to say, you can't have pickle flavor one. Pickle ice cream. I'll bet that'd be good, actually. Sweet and salty. Absolute garbage trash. All the creaminess with the acidity. Listen to me, Food Network. Yeah, I had no idea Gordon Ramsay is all about that. I have a Ninja Creamy at home. So we have one too. I love it. I might make some pickle ice cream. Here's the deal. Do not taint that. I was also doing all the videos. Do not taint that Ninja Creamy. When they got this, I was obnoxious about it. I was obnoxious about the Ninja Creamy. We had our entire group over and the only question he kept asking as we were preparing for it is, what ice cream are we having? That's right. I have wanted a Ninja Creamy for so long and I'm too just like. Dude, they're awesome. I'm too squirrely to go buy my own. So I never have. And as soon as I found out they had one, I didn't care what we have for dinner. I didn't care what we have. We needed to have something good. We made three or four separate different flavors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm definitely not going to make a pickle though. You do what you gotta do. It's not going to be any good, but you do what you need to do. And then I'm going to make sure specifically I use that container on the next one we make for group. I'll throw it in the trash. I'll know. I will know. Ah, jeez, gross. OK, so assuming that there isn't some filth like pickle ice cream, what's your go-to? Second number two. Like chocolate, but not just chocolate. Like I'm going the chocolate fudge brownie. Chocohal. Like death by chocolate. So if they don't have a mint chocolate chip, it's just chocolate. Everything chocolate. But I'm also the guy that my wife and I will go get ice cream after dinner and I won't get any. Oh, really? I'm not a sweets guy. Yeah, you never really have been. Yeah, so like if we have, if we're all at dinner, you know, if someone makes a dessert, yeah, I'm going to try it. But I'm like, yeah, give me a small piece. Sure. So I get that from my mom. I'm like, give me a big piece. That's me. Yeah, can I have like, mine depends on what it is. Definitely there's some stuff out there that I'm like, I'm eating that whole thing. Oh, yeah. But yeah, if I get anything, it's like I overdo it when I get it. So I throw all the chocolate in there. Give me all the things. Go big or go home. Yeah. Yeah, I know Madden was actually talking about the holiday season this year. We're going to get some eggnog and freeze it. Oh, yeah. Ninja creamy. Dude, eggnog's so good. I need to actually make mine this year because I didn't actually ever make it. I have an alcoholic eggnog that I made. Oh, nice, man. So good. Yeah. But I didn't actually make it last year. We're going to make it happen. Heck yeah. Let's do that. You got to imagine that's just a massive, massive, massive thing. Like that market for eggnog is just crazy. It's so seasonal. It's wild. Yep. Yeah. Because gangbusters. I love eggnogs. Hey, I do too. I'm all for it. Yep. My wife is not in for it. I will destroy it. No, Katie's not in for it either. When I was a kid, they used to make eggnog candy canes. And I haven't seen them in decades. OK. But one of the ice cream shops makes an eggnog ice cream. I'm all in. Yeah, I'm all in for that too. I miss candy canes. I can't taste peppermint. Oh, you can't? Nope. No way. So 2021, I had COVID. Yeah. Garlic and anything mint. What? Cannot taste still. No way. It's been almost four years and I can quite literally take whole cloves of garlic and I cannot taste it. You can't taste it. I can get the burn that garlic gives. It's wild. Yeah. Same thing with heavy minted stuff. He had me try one of his. I could feel the mint-ball-y part of it, but I can't taste it. No way. Yeah. So anything mint, I get that of it, which Christmas time was one of my favorite times because of peppermints and all that stuff coming out. That's bizarre, man. I haven't been able to taste it since 2021. Yeah, it's wild. That's real. That's crazy. That sucks. Yep. It's weird because I'll make stuff and I'm like, I'll have to go have my wife try it. Like, does it taste okay? Because I'll just throw the seasonings on there and then I can't taste it. No way. Wild. Been like that for a while. Yep. Almost four years since I've tasted garlic. Wow. It's crazy. I feel bad. Yeah. I've just gotten over. It doesn't bother me. Yeah, that would bother me though. That sucks. Oh well. Peppermint ice cream. Oh yeah. No, I quite literally, my wife made a chocolate ice cream and I took Katie Canes and crushed them up and put it in there with it just for the aspect of eating it. Yeah. Even though I couldn't taste it. At this point, I'm like, whatever. I still eat it. That's wild. Yep. Still wild. All right. Got anything else? Yeah, I got one more. Fire away. All right. Would you rather have your inner thoughts auto posted on Twitter? Or your Google search history made public? Google search history. 150%. Yes. Yeah. Totally. I'm with you both. The amount of thoughts that go through my head a day, especially at certain people at Home Depot, when I walk through, yeah, no, that would be really bad. Yeah. I'm with both of you. Yeah. And it's not even necessarily like judgmental things in general. It's just like, I'll come up with something random. The things you think. Yeah. Oh, for sure. That too. Yeah. I was just thinking. Mine's that like one time a day when just someone's doing something stupid, and I walk by it in my head, I'm just saying all these things. And I'm like, 100%. That would be awful. Yep. I agree. All right. To be fair, my Google search history would just be a lot of pregnancy symptoms right now. Yep. Oh, what medicines can pregnant women take? Yes. Yes. 100%. 100% of mine. Tonight, it's going to be bachelor's degrees and trees because now I'm intrigued. I want to look all those up. So you better figure it out. You only got so much time. You can apply right now. Go back to school. I need to look up the gerontology. What was it? Gerontology and dendrology. Dendrology. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not well versed. Gerology. Dandrophology. Dandruff. Dandruff. Should know that one well. Should. There you go. All right. Are you ready? Yep. Are you sure? Here it is. Are you positive? The holy grail. I'm going to pass this to everyone. We'll find out. It's important. It's important that we know. Okay. It's a major award. What's your favorite mythological creature and what sound does it make? And yes, there's a wrong answer. Yep. There's no wrong answer. There's a right answer. There is a right answer. See, we've had this conversation. We have many times. So I feel like it's changed now. It has not because I still believe it's not a mythical creature. Never know. But based on the amount of people that says it has to be a mythical creature. It's a leprechaun. See, that's great, though. That's a good answer, man. That's a good answer. But I think leprechauns are real. I don't think they're mythical creatures. It's like, where's the leprechaun live? Ireland. Okay. That's the problem. We just have to go to Ireland. That's my bottleneck. I'm not in Ireland. There we go. Yeah. So are you big into like Bigfoot? No, not really. Yeah, probably should be. I think the only other one along that same line, again, may be real, maybe not. It's a Loch Ness Monster. Yeah, I think it exists. Yeah. Where's Loch Ness Monster live? Loch Ness in Scotland. See? Well, I'm not in Scotland, so I wouldn't know that. Heart monitor. There it is. Got it. He's okay. Now I see what you're talking about. He's sweating. Are you sweating? No, I'm not sweating. Okay, you're not sweating. Okay, good. No, we made it. We made it. Now, man, I can say that there's a case for leprechauns. I can also say there's a case for Bigfoot. I do not know nearly enough about a Loch Ness Monster, so I can assume that with as little as we know about our seas, it's possible. Yeah. I, at this moment in time, you could say all kinds of things, and I would be just like Dwight Schrute when Jim's like, what, like 10 years? That's probably good. I could see that. 20 years. No, it seems plausible. 30 years? I could see that. 40 years. That seems okay. I could see a Bigfoot thing, though. Yeah. For real. Yeah. You know, there was an interesting fact I saw that basically talked about the number of times that bears' bones are found is really, really like minute. And then Bigfoot bones would be considered a hundred times less than that because of just a population of Bigfoot, right? I don't know. I haven't studied it, so I don't know. But that would make sense as to why we had never found anything specifically. I wonder what they're called. Bigfoot? No, like the people who teach about Bigfoot. Ah, yes. They got to be something, right? Let's make something up. I mean, my brain says Bigfootologist. Bigfootologist. I like that. I was thinking, yeah, large fetus. Yeah, yeah. There you go. I was like trying to come up with it. I couldn't even say it. Yetology. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. What does a leprechaun sound like? What does the leprechaun sound like? They're always after me, Lucky Charms. Lucky Charms. They're trying to get me pot of gold. There you go. There you go. Hey, you know, I'm not here to judge, man. I'm not here to judge that. That's rad. Well, heck, dude. It's been a lot of fun. I'm glad we got to do it. We've been talking about it a little while. It was a great time getting to chat and kind of catch up on things. And we're excited for you to have the new little one. I know we obviously talk all the time, but it's just exciting to see the family growing and that expansion is going to be awesome for everyone. And it's just really cool. So very excited. Woohoo. Picture taken. So we're just excited to see that happen. And then, you know, all the all the new things that are coming with Redbeard Brewery in the future. Hopefully it's coming. Not hopefully. I wasn't smiling. Oh, there we go. That's better. There you go. How's the camera guy not going to smile? Classic that guy. But yeah, man, it's been awesome. So, you know, stay up on it. Oh, yeah, it was good. Thanks for getting me on.
