Episode 17 - Bart Bauer Bash Recap - A Michigan Dude's Trip
Crack open a cold one and join us for the hilarious recounting of the Bart Bauer Bash – an annual guys' retreat that's become our saving grace from the grind of daily life. What started after our back-to-back bachelor parties has evolved into a cherished tradition complete with its own traveling trophy: Belvedere, a three-foot bulldog butler statue we negotiated from a vacation rental owner for $58, some paper towels, and a six-pack of beer.
We take you through the chaos of our epic grocery store miscalculation where we dropped $600 on enough food to feed an army (60 eggs, anyone?), the invention of our signature game "Bucket Ball" (which hilariously involves neither buckets nor balls), and the golf course shenanigans that led to one friend falling into three different ponds. You'll hear about our late-night poker games fueled by what we euphemistically call "poker chips" and the random encounters that only seem to happen when 12 married guys hit the road together.
Beyond the laughs, this episode captures something more profound – how these dedicated weekends away create space for genuine connection across our diverse group of friends. From teachers to doctors, construction workers to retirees, we've built something that transcends our different life paths. The Bart Bauer Bash isn't just about escaping responsibilities; it's about strengthening the bonds that keep us grounded throughout the year.

Welcome to the Routin' Loudy Podcast. This is episode 17. Welcome to the Routin' Loudy.
Speaker 2:Podcast.
Speaker 1:This is episode 17. And we are doing a recap of the Bart Bauer Bash. In the last two years, everything has transpired, everything that's going on, all the activities, all the crazy shit that's going on.
Speaker 3:And Bart Bauer Bash. In case you don't know, it's a dude's trip, but it's a dude's trip with a purpose and it's a lot of fun. So we're going to kind of recap how it started.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we've got Danny with us tonight, which he's the co-founder of the Bart Bauer Bash.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, he is the Bart.
Speaker 1:He is the Bart of the Bart Bauer.
Speaker 3:And I'm the Bauer dude, and if you were reading us, facing us right now, it would make legible sense for us to sit like this.
Speaker 1:Right yeah.
Speaker 3:Not for me, though. See, we could add more Bs, but it seems like a lot Bart Bauer, brad Bash, but like it seems, Bart Brad.
Speaker 1:Bauer Bash. No, it's just that. No, it's the Bauer so.
Speaker 3:And actually shout out to my wife she came up with that. Oh yeah, 100%.
Speaker 1:That was Chelsea.
Speaker 3:Nice, I texted Danny B and he's like yep, Is that how that went?
Speaker 2:I believe so. By the way, I'm Danny. Hello everybody.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Pretty good guy. So how did we come up with this dude?
Speaker 2:Well, I believe that it was because we had both. We both got married that year and we both had our bachelor parties like two months apart from each other, right, yep, and we were like dude, we need to do something like this every year, like dudes, just get together, kick back, you know, and just hang out. Oh yeah, and then we thought to do games, to have like a prize and get trophies. So yeah, that's dude.
Speaker 1:And the the fact that the first year that we got belvedere, well, absolutely, that was awesome.
Speaker 3:But even even real quick before we get to belvedere in year one. It's great yes before.
Speaker 3:Like I remember that moment though, like I was on a porch with danny right and I were, and at his bachelor party there's like a a stream that went through. It was really, it was cool. And um, one night we're on the porch and I just looked at it was like, too, we're doing this every year. And he's like what do you mean? It was like we're doing this every year and he's like every year. I was like, yeah, we're gonna make this a fucking thing yeah, we're gonna plan a dude's trip for our friends yep every year?
Speaker 3:nope, and that's what we do. Yeah, steal our idea yeah, do it with your friends yeah even if there's five of you yeah like if you're staying two, three nights in a vrbo or airbnb. Yeah, see, there's ad plugs if we get going right like find that cabin that's a little secluded where you can play music. By the way, I don't want to be dj anymore. That's fucking annoying as shit. No matter who you do it, dude yeah, you're never.
Speaker 2:You're never gonna.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're not gonna make everybody happy like you play rage and someone's like, hey man, what did you play this? And then you play this, and then like, hey man, hey, what about rage? Though, though, that was pretty good, and it's like I don't know what to do right now. I'm trying to get fucked up and win games.
Speaker 2:I honestly think that's why just like classic rock or like anything like that is a good go-to.
Speaker 3:Because who's?
Speaker 2:going to be mad about having classic rock on, you know.
Speaker 3:Dumb-dumbs, dom-doms. Yeah, absolutely so. Everybody loves it dude, yeah, for sure, but yeah. So, um, me and danny, actually we get together, we plan this, we plan the houses. We actually just like pick a couple houses and we'll go through it.
Speaker 2:We have all the costs figured out by by the amount of people and ideally we we want it to be where the cost that somebody pays includes the lodging and the food and any materials needed for the games and stuff.
Speaker 1:And when you're talking materials, you're talking doobies.
Speaker 2:Well, yes, Party favors We'll call them, we'll call them poker chips.
Speaker 3:Let's just say poker chips.
Speaker 2:We've smoked a lot of poker chips at the bar yes, yes, we have even very long poker chips and I think that's kind of like my thinking with.
Speaker 3:It is like it's just so cool getting everybody together because, like everybody's there for a different reason, right, like we have a teacher that is out of school and he's like, fuck yeah, we have a doctor there yep right, yep we have a fucking construction guy. We have a, you know, metal shop guy we have like dude, you name it, we got it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure, we kind of we got a retired guy, we got a retired guy, we got a dude, we got two retired guys, yeah that helps us out every day with our kid like dude, kids like this dude, everything's just so cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's why it's like a positivity thing for me, like while we're there like it's like let's have fun and be cool to each other. It's okay to like joke with people, but don't let it get out of hand like it's kind of the thing with that trip like yep I don't know.
Speaker 3:I've had a couple guys explain to me some trips that they go on and it sounds like horrible oh yeah, one guy went uh golfing with he was telling me that like one guy he was trying to leave at like five in the morning packed his whole truck like with kayaks and everything, and this guy like undid the kayaks, like unpacked his whole truck and then he like peeled out of there and got pissed and he's like we didn't know why and it's like dude right, but really you didn't really know like. That's not like 20 minutes of work, that's like 45 minutes an hour worth of work, yeah, and you just fucking blew it yeah so, but yeah so year one we ended up.
Speaker 2:Uh, in baldwin were we in may I think it was like the end of may.
Speaker 3:No, because it was later. Yeah, because it was hot. It was like the end of May. No, because it was hot. No, it was later. Remember, because it was hot.
Speaker 2:It was muggy and hot and buggy. Remember there were a bunch of bugs out there Muggy and buggy.
Speaker 3:I think it was like August Muggy and buggy.
Speaker 2:I think it was August or like late July or something.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure, because I was surprised this year how soon it was in the year. Yeah, because it was later last year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that was really just because of the place that we got.
Speaker 3:It was cheaper during that time of year. What the hell are you doing? I think I've been wearing it backwards all the time.
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3:I think, it's unicide.
Speaker 1:It's unicide, it's unicycle. Figure your shit out, dude.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'm back, dude, like future topic that I found out last night. That was fucking crazy. This is a fact, this isn't like an opinion, right, Did you know? Okay, this is wild. My wife came to me with this like oh boy I can't like go into it too much, but oh gosh, you know there's morgues on every cruise ship I did know that actually, yes, and that they hold up to six bodies yep, yep and almost there's almost always one person that dies every cruise really.
Speaker 2:Really, holy shit. I did not know that. I didn't know that last time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've watched a bunch of cruise vacuums. You know what, though? Those fucking fuckers left that out, dude, like you know, it's like hey, we're on the main deck here, we're about to go get some pizza. And if you look behind me, here it's Riverview Falls, and that's a river. It's got glaciers on it. And if you look over, here, we got a room, and you never mention that there's dead people in there.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, it does make sense because you've got a lot of people that, like that's their last wish, like to go on a cruise.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just go somewhere or go do something.
Speaker 1:I mean somebody that's never been in that kind of a situation, somebody that just loves the water or loves boats or whatever and that's like their dying wish to go out and they're on their way out, yeah I could see that yeah yeah, for sure that's wild.
Speaker 3:I don't know what happened, man, but uh, yeah, they canceled the water show and some lady like fell over. She was pissed and I don't know. They were like picking her up and like you know, I don't know. They said we got another her up and like you know, I don't know they said we got another one.
Speaker 1:So I got a question how did you get?
Speaker 3:on that subject yeah, no clue bud.
Speaker 2:So yeah, last yeah. So we've done Bart Bauer Bash for like two years right, this is the second year.
Speaker 3:Yep Next year will be the third Right. That makes sense.
Speaker 1:Three comes after two, yep right that makes sense.
Speaker 3:Three comes after two. Yeah, usually, so just now the dictionary oh wow america, wow america. That's pretty good just thought of it, I've never heard that before just did it.
Speaker 2:That's pretty good and that's a wrap right there.
Speaker 3:We're doing great Roll credits, roll credits.
Speaker 2:We went to Baldwin last year, yeah.
Speaker 3:That was fun.
Speaker 2:It was fun, but before we got to the house we went to, did we go to Walmart?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, we went to Walmart. I can't remember what city we stopped at.
Speaker 3:So that would have been Thursday of that trip, yep.

We stopped at the store and it was me, him, cushman and matt matt yep, brian came later we didn't agree on a lot, like I remember, like I don't remember what happened, but like just suggestions were made that were dumb, all the time by somebody that wasn't me or danny, right, yeah, and the one thing we all agreed on was was hidden valley ranch dude?

Speaker 3:I'm actually on track now. I'm actually on track now. Okay, so what they're talking about is this is an annual dude's trip. We've kind of explained the grocery store and that was a fucking madhouse dude. All you had to do was show Danny or me something with a proper face and we were down. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:It was like hey zebra cakes like it's like, yeah, grab two boxes actually 14 of those like insane.
Speaker 3:So that was thursday. We get there thursday. Thursday is always kind of a chill day. You just kind of settle in, unpack your stuff. We always go to like a cabin up north michigan somewhere. Like schwab said, and if you steal our idea we do it may, and j June, I'll fucking come for you. I'm just kidding anyway. But yeah, we always rent a cabin. So Thursday we have a chill day, friday we usually golf. I remember, dave, that was like one of the first times he golfed and he ended up doing alright a fucking blast.
Speaker 3:And then no, nothing.
Speaker 1:Dude, crazy shit happened golfing this year, fuck yeah, we had a couple guys hugging each other laying on the ground.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and one fell in the pond three times but before we get there, how about Belvedere? Alright. So the story of Belvedere Belvedere is kind of our mascot, right, so it is this. I mean, he's the Alright. So the story of Belvedere Belvedere is kind of our mascot, right, so it is this. It is this like three foot how tall, like three four foot tall.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'd say three and a half.
Speaker 2:Three and a half foot tall statue of a bulldog in a butler's outfit and it's holding like a tray. Yep, and this was at this house, this first house that we went to it's got the monocle dude.
Speaker 2:It's got the it's got the monocle and the chain and oh yeah, oh for sure, all decked out, you know, and we saw it there and we were like, oh man, and so we, we put our poker chips on it and we were like, man, that'd be cool if this could be like the traveling trophy of the games of whoever won, and so who even said that we're passing a doom Dude.
Speaker 3:almost all of these come from you and I. When we're baked, that's true. We're dreamers, dude, and we have a little bit of action to us when we're high and it happens. You texted the owner while I'm'm talking to you. I'm like, hey man, tell him this you know, or something like that yeah, and it was like hey. Uh, we really like your bulldog statue. I was just wondering um, do you ever want to have a new home?
Speaker 2:and I and I even went into detail about like we're. We're at the dude's trip. We play games. We would love for this to be the traveling trophy. Yeah, and they responded back to me like was it that day?
Speaker 2:Dude, it was like 15 minutes after Okay, yeah, it felt like forever, yeah, and they were like. They were like what? Oh man, I love that for you guys and that's so cool. That was right after the games. Whatever, we got that because our kid's high school mascot was a bulldog, but they were all grown and out of the house.
Speaker 3:It was actually for their grad party or some shit.
Speaker 2:It doesn't really mean anything to us anymore. So if you want to leave a collection on the table when you leave, that would be just fine.
Speaker 3:So what? 58?
Speaker 2:bucks, 58 bucks or something between the 12 of us 58 bucks. Two rolls of paper towel in the paper though In the plastic and we're talking bounty bitch, those are good Good paper towel.

Speaker 3:No, we should have.
Speaker 1:Yeah, send like a yearly picture of where that's at to the original.

Speaker 1:So now, yeah, but I mean to the original owners Like say, hey, oh, this is where belvedere is at.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's fun. I only contacted them through vrbo and I don't know if I can now that the trip is over whatever, you know what I mean, but who knows, I'll try, I'll see I'll see if I can that would be cool by the way, I left a towel there two years ago.
Speaker 1:I was just wondering if you found that Just something so specific like it's white basic cotton.
Speaker 3:It would have been in the bathroom by the shower.
Speaker 2:I remember I left it on the floor.
Speaker 3:I left a bottle of herbal essence shampoo in travel size.
Speaker 2:It's almost gone, but I really like that.

Speaker 2:I mean if you have enough poker chips in the morning. If we're talking poker chips, I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we stopped at three different places. I think big boy no I don't remember what the one place, so one place was like a little mom and pop place yeah, we're gonna have breakfast there and that didn't work out. It was too long or we didn't have enough room for people or whatever, because we yeah, we had a lot of people. Where the hell did we end up? Did we end up at Taco Bell? No, no.
Speaker 2:Maybe, no, because we went to breakfast. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1:Right, I have no idea. I don't remember where the hell we ended up for breakfast. I don't remember either. I'm pretty sure we were stopped at Taco Bell, though. Maybe, Because we tried this place, that place was closed. We tried the next place, it was too busy or whatever.
Speaker 2:And then we just like fuck it, let's just go to Taco Bell and then, well, we'll get to this year.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3:And yeah, whatever happened, it was great this year this year we took off. Chick was really annoying in the parking lot on the way there. Oh dude.
Speaker 2:Oh no, that was on the way up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was on the way that was yeah that was on the way up but I think she would have been a really good time, like, I mean, she, she, you could tell she wanted to party, she wanted to party?
Speaker 2:well, yeah, but she wanted us to pay her to party yeah, she would have jerked us out, dude of course she wanted to party, yeah a bunch of married guys.
Speaker 3:Dude, she wanted to jerk us off as a team. As soon as I saw her, she like brought her kid out and I was like I don't know what the symbolism is of this, but I gotta fucking go and what you know.
Speaker 1:That wasn't her kid. Yes, it was. I don't think so I don't think so.
Speaker 3:There was another one of her I think it was her friend.
Speaker 1:She wasn't having anything, she didn't want to have anything to do with us.

Speaker 2:and they're like yeah, I didn't ever give her a time so we just know, because I that makes sense, because when we walked in she was like oh, you guys must be the ones who called about an hour ago. I was the one that called. Well, that's fine, that's great.
Speaker 3:No, that's good. I didn't give her any specifics because I didn't know if it was a done deal.
Speaker 1:I love pizza.
Speaker 3:I'm not gonna set myself up for failure. Right, it was delicious too yeah, no, it was one of the worst parts of that whole experience for me was brad said something smart to me. Uh, while we were there and there was a lady.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I looked over.
Speaker 3:I'm like shut your pie hole and when we sat down someone was like, are we gonna bug you? And she's like, as long as you guys are kind and cordial, said something stupid as fuck, like that and I knew it wasn't time to open the floodgates. Dude, like you're a fucking dick. Dude, fuck you.
Speaker 1:You know, like, just like in that restaurant, like, dude, bad setting yep yeah that was the only time, the only time that I've known you, that you've ever been speechless dude, I had no idea what to do.
Speaker 3:I froze. Brad said horrible comment. Lady looks at me.
Speaker 1:And I didn't fire back at all, dude, it was awesome.
Speaker 3:I just didn't.
Speaker 1:I don't know Like I'm old enough now you started twitching.
Speaker 3:Dude, I'm old enough now that, like when I see like an older lady that like warned you. You know, yeah, it's kind of like when I mean shit, they listen but it's fine. But it's kind of like when you know the ladies that we live with are like I'm hungry. You know, they let out that little like hey, I'm hungry, and then like later they go off about something.
Speaker 1:It's like we had our warning right, yeah, you know if I was smart, I would have fucking fired the toaster up, but I didn't right, right, you know, yep, it's kind of like that you fucked that one up. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3:But I knew it was coming Like she was she looked mad. She looked mad before I said what I was going to say. We locked eyes, me and her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was. It was priceless. She gave me almost like a don't do it, dude.
Speaker 3:And I wanted to unload. What did you say to me? Do you remember? I said shut your fucking pie hole. Oh, dude, I had so many things to say.
Speaker 1:I said shut your pie hole Dude.
Speaker 3:I wonder if that's why we did the previous episode's top five is alternatives that Jason Biggs would have fucked other than a pie. I wonder if it's because I was so shook by the pie hole comment. Dude, I was so shook by the pie hole comment dude, I was thinking like Jason.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, it was just weird, dude. You started, you just gave me this look and you started fucking twitching Like I can't say anything. That was horrible.
Speaker 3:It was horrible.
Speaker 1:You wanted to fire back.
Speaker 3:I could tell I had so much to say, you know.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm sure.
Speaker 3:I so much to say, you know. Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure that was good pizza, though. Yeah, what was that place called? What was it called spumoni? Was it papa papa?
Speaker 2:something ironically enough though, like my wife pompeys played. Pompeys in re was fantastic Played in a softball tournament last summer in Reed City and we went there.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, did they have the buffet?
Speaker 2:I don't think so.
Speaker 3:Were you able to speak freely? Yes, yes, dude, I love that we rolled like 10 decks to you too, of pizza for us, yeah.
Speaker 2:It was time. Hey, we called you called that was that? That was very good of you and I'm like that's all.
Speaker 3:That's all that they can ask I signed jason up to do that too, because he didn't pay anything for that trip oh yeah he bought everyone's lunch. That was a nice one, yeah, yeah, that was awesome.
Speaker 1:He's awesome, he's a great guy yeah, but yeah, I was uh, but yeah, when they were, when we all walked in there, their faces were like oh shit that's where jason's from.
Speaker 2:Yes, I remember that town, remember that town we're in, where the pizza place is yeah where jason's from reed city yeah yeah, nice cool then you had your uh, your highway incident.
Speaker 1:We talked about that on the last episode, so I had my sunglasses on, dude, oh boy he had had a few poker chips by this point.
Speaker 3:Oh sure, oh yeah, oh sure jason, let me have poker chips in the car because he has a purifier and it gets rid of the smoke. Actually, if you ever want to smoke in your house, he has a thing that can like aerate your house and like that we'll get there. So I'm sitting next to my boy right and he's driving. Dude, I'm feeling fresh and I got my shades on, just like this.
Speaker 3:All of a sudden I look out, dude, in the highway, like once you get up north, and it's like 75 75, everything's moving really fucking fast and there's two lanes going one way, two lanes going the other way. Well, when I looked up, it looked to me like it was a country road that we were on and one lane's going this way, one lane's going this way and jason is in the left lane. I was like homie, I don't think you're gonna make that. I don't think you're gonna fucking make that. I don't think you're gonna make that. Like there's a car, it's in the lane in front of us heading the same direction, no clue he has no fucking idea that's going the same way.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, I fear it for my life it's like do I duck and roll?

Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, they were both hammered and it's not even 230, man, yeah, yeah, they were both hammered. And it's not even like. It's almost like how I feel about MMA, right, like there's a certain state that people get in when they're fucking wasted, where they're like hugging and like lying down. It's like, would you ever do this sober? Like if I took a picture right now you'd be pissed. Yeah, yeah, oh there's video yeah, I've seen it. I saw it.

Speaker 2:We just hang out, is that? No? Friday was golf Friday was golf.
Speaker 1:We got back then just hang out. Yeah, we just hung out, played games yeah is, that is, that when you invented the new game I'm trying to think because I think it was. I think it was I think friday night was you invented the new game explain the game.
Speaker 2:Okay, so this game is called Bucketball Dude. No explain.
Speaker 3:I'm going to. I'm going to, I'm going to.
Speaker 2:So this game called Bucketball, it came about because somebody had brought I had brought a bucket of fireball shots. Yep, yeah, the little they were the shots. The little single shot shooter deals. It obviously has a lid. The lid was just somewhere and I picked it up and I threw it in there and somebody caught it. They threw it back and I caught it and then it back and I caught it and then it was like okay, so you, you play with somebody and if if you catch it, you keep, you know, you, whatever. But then if, if you don't get it, the other team gets a point, yep, and then it kind of goes from there. But then there's rules, like you know. Uh, what was it like foreign objects? If it hits a foreign object?
Speaker 1:yeah, because there was a there was a big pine tree behind you guys yeah, and the house kept hitting yep, kept hitting the tree, yep, the limb.
Speaker 2:So we're like, okay if it hits something.
Speaker 1:If it hits something, yeah, if it hits the ground before you can get to it, then it's, it's, it's, but yeah, so it's bucket ball, but it has nothing to do with a bucket or a ball it involves no bucket, no ball, just a frisbee like thing, and that's it.
Speaker 3:Four people I got put on the spot with that. They're like we should come up with a name for it, right, yeah?
Speaker 2:was that us? That was us. Yeah, we should call it bucket ball, even we should call it bucket ball.
Speaker 3:Why, man, it doesn't involve a bucket?
Speaker 2:or a ball. It's perfect I know I was involved in the name of that and that that is going to soon be uh like patented or something, so nobody steal it, or nothing yeah, I already got the first ad already drilling up.
Speaker 3:Fun for all bucket ball. Do you want one? Give us a. A call Bucket ball. There's no.
Speaker 2:Bucket, there's no ball, bucket, ball, bucket ball. Love it.

Speaker 1:I'm summer champion now that I tried bucket ball. But yeah, we did talk about putting the Bart Bauer over here. So on the lid, on the lid, whatever it is that we come up with for the, the actual, disc.
Speaker 2:I would like to model it off of that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, off of that lid you know, and find, just find a. You should just buy a fireball every year, I know, and have a bunch of lids, exactly like what, okay, or or if I could find where they buy those buckets from.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I'd have a shit ton of buckets, but, like you know, yep, what am I gonna do with those?
Speaker 3:we're gonna take it to the next level. Dude, I'm talking like hey, real quick, line a couple of those buckets up, maybe spray paint one of them gold, put that at the top, throw bags from the balcony bucket bitch.
Speaker 2:We could figure out something to put in it, like if this mass produces and it's like whatever it could be, the bucket.
Speaker 3:And then what.
Speaker 1:Bucket ball, but then that didn't. What do you do with the bucket? Nothing, nothing.
Speaker 3:It's just storage. It's just storage.

Speaker 2:These tricks.
Speaker 3:Speaking of that from the inventors of bucketball it's the bucket shawl. Have you ever been cold while you're playing bucket ball?
Speaker 2:Wear this, oh man.
Speaker 1:So let's talk about the top five things that we could suggest at the Barbauer Bash.
Speaker 3:The other funny topic I was thinking about that would be nerve-wracking, is like the worst thing someone could say to me or danny, like after all this planning, like when they first entered the house, like it's not a lot of house, but it'll do how you doing boys the worst thing to say when, when going when you arrive to a trip that you didn't plan yeah but,
Speaker 2:I think, what are we?
Speaker 1:doing. I think next year that we should have a, a group cuddle.
Speaker 3:You know no what you don't know, it won't be on the 16th screen you don't want to well, that's good, because the 15th screen was closer. Oh yeah, If you're talking latitude and if you're talking longitude, I don't know.
Speaker 1:And we might as well swim there Right.
Speaker 3:So the other one I had, Okay, so top five worst activities you could recommend on a dude's trip. So like I come out, I open the screen door, I look right at Danny and Brad and I'm like yo fuck golf today. Boys, here's what we're going to do. Think you're going to be into it, but it's not cool.

Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Put my tail in. Wow, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Gotta go somewhere.
Speaker 1:Right, sure, it's gotta go somewhere.
Speaker 3:What's the worst things that someone could say when they enter the house to the people playing it? I'm just trying to think out loud of like funny other than this are you sure this is worth $200 to person fund?
Speaker 2:I actually did the math and I don't think so man.
Speaker 1:I don't think this is worth it.
Speaker 2:I want my $200 back. I'm going to go.
Speaker 3:Is there a guest house? Because this place sucks. Does the flat screen work? Because the vibrating bed doesn't.
Speaker 1:I'm just playing with that oh shit, yeah, I don't know what else would be a bad. I mean, what would be the worst thing for you guys to hear when somebody walks in?
Speaker 3:My favorite team is Ohio State. Fuck that.
Speaker 2:You know, like that'd be the worst, you better turn around and get out of this house. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You guys did a really bad job at planning this. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, hey, man, you at planning this?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, hey, man, you know the Titanic. Yeah, what'd you think of it? It was a disaster. So was this fucking house? I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know. All right, we fit the glacier, we've all paid for it.
Speaker 1:Hey, so did you guys decide on the house for next year? Not yet the house for next year not yet.
Speaker 3:No, we're kind of looking at it's a it's up in the air. So what happened last year was I thought we had 15, which means we would have been good for everybody to get a shirt, everybody to get food, like everybody to do the thing. But then I realized people almost took it more serious this year because they brought their meal.
Speaker 2:That was kind of a cool twist yeah, I also thought that I like the idea of not doing it so much all-inclusive with food. Is I like the idea of like somebody bring this, somebody bring that.
Speaker 1:Yeah and then we don't end up with three carts of groceries as well, correct? Yeah, I'm cool with that. That sounds like I mean that's that's a good way to do it. I mean, I, I like that.
Speaker 2:I mean I'm just going to bring what I brought. I'm going to bring that every year. I'm going to bring hot dogs, brats and buns every year. That's going to be my meal that I bring.
Speaker 3:Do you want to get some good hot dog, chili and nacho cheese? If we want chili dogs, Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And if we do whatever house, we have to see if they have a couple of grills, because those were badass.
Speaker 2:Those were the two grills.
Speaker 1:That was nice that house this year was badass.
Speaker 2:Yes, it was.
Speaker 1:That was a great house.
Speaker 2:It was just far.
Speaker 1:It was far, but it was secluded. Everything was down. You know, you didn't have anybody bothering you. We weren't bothering anybody else. That was what was great about it, except for Hank.
Speaker 3:Hank, hank down the way. Yeah, who the fuck is Hank? I have no idea.
Speaker 2:But he was down the way.
Speaker 3:He was down the way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it wasn't our fault, and being right on the golf course, we were like Actually chipping. We could chip from the backyard To the Whatever green that was On the 15th green yeah.
Speaker 3:I think we did a good job picking up. I think so the house was dope, it was sweet.
Speaker 2:It was just far away, see, that's what that's.
Speaker 3:What worries me is like the house we went to, the reviews were all great and our experience is great. The the place we were looking at, that's like cheaper, like some of the google reviews were terrible yeah, yeah but, like most of the reviews on vrbo were fine and like most of the things in uh google that were bad about it were like a wedding that went wrong and like someone not having propane.
Speaker 1:So it wasn't necessarily the house's problem or the owner's or whatever.
Speaker 3:One of them said the owner was a dick, but I don't remember.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think so. Yeah, but you've got to be careful with that, because they might be dicks too.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, if you're a dick and you try to deal with somebody, then they're gonna be a dick to you, right?
Speaker 2:chances are, or they could have tried to be like, I don't know, try to do something, and the landlord wouldn't let them, or the owner or whatever wouldn't let them, and they were like I'm just speaking like freely, real quick, right.
Speaker 3:What if, like the rental thing, like this, was a two-way system where, like, people rated each other? I don't know if our group would get a really high like no, I think we'd get a really high rating.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, take the test.
Speaker 3:These guys were really high, yeah yeah, so it sucks because, like when I'm looking back at it like the coolest smoking pad we've ever had was my bachelor party by far, Absolutely 100%.
Speaker 2:If the house was better, that property would be way better.
Speaker 3:We were like three beds away.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but like yeah, we have like five beds there. If we had 12 people there, that's like seven air mattresses, dude, We'd have to bring a van of air mattresses. That doesn't sound good.
Speaker 2:Well, there were those three couches. If there's three people that'll sleep on couches, I don't mind. I'll sleep on a couch.
Speaker 1:Actually anywhere, Me too.
Speaker 2:Just give me a fan and I'm good to go.
Speaker 3:But I'm not worried about you guys complaining.
Speaker 2:I know, and that's why we, whatever People who, whatever people who complain, sure have a bed. I don't care. Yeah, you can have a bed, pop like the the main people can have, you know bed whatever we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3:But yeah, we're kind of tossed up between that, between um there's a house in mio, kind of where you were.
Speaker 3:It's bigger, it's actually yeah, that's the one that had some weird reviews, but I don't know, it looks cool um that's the one that you showed me yeah, yeah, and that was like that looks sick I want to say like 160 a person, and I kind of talked to my people about like, because we had talked about like extending it an extra day and I don't know that it's worth it because adam wouldn't make it right, my dad wouldn't make it right. I wouldn't make it, papa wouldn't make it. And the reason why is if I have to pull peyton out of daycare because I pulled papa, then chelsea and ashley are taking days off because they each have their kit, right? Yeah?
Speaker 2:yep, yeah, no, thursday to sunday is fine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think you know let me ask you this brad, real question what would you pay? What's the most? You would pay for a dude's trip, weekend, and not like don't go overboard. But I'm saying like, is that number like 300 bucks? Is it number like?
Speaker 1:Well, I'll tell you this when I go down to Myrtle Beach, it's $1,000 for the week. So that's a week, so if it's if it's three or four hundred bucks, I'm good with that.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I mean that's when we go to Myrtle Beach. I mean that's golf every day. I mean that's covering golf and the place we stay. It doesn't cover food.
Speaker 3:There's one place I saw that was just beyond cool, like a ten-bedroom house on the water, and right next to it was another ten-bedroom house that they rent out on the water, and right next to it was another 10 bedroom house that they ran out on the water and down by the water they had like a private bar set up that was like wider than this room, with like nice chairs and tables and like grills and you could like dude. I was like holy fuck that's perfect.
Speaker 3:That's awesome and they have the curtains you could put down when the mosquitoes come out, like and you're right over the water like yeah stereo setup, like they had a game room with, like. I think that's kind of what I'm looking to upgrade this year, right? So, like first year's house to this house, this house was better 100, yeah, and each year we're going to keep improving on it, right?
Speaker 3:right, we're trying to keep it affordable yep, and that's why, like you know, if you go june, july and you're looking for like a lake house or a pool house, good, fucking luck it's gonna be a million dollars yeah but end of may end of may you might be able to yeah no, I'm, yeah, I'm I'm down for whatever.
Speaker 1:Honestly I mean this is, this is a trip that I look forward to every year it's it's a.
Speaker 3:I mean, everybody needs it for a different reason absolutely yeah absolutely so and that's kind of the beauty of it, right, like it's a bunch of dudes coming together to hang out that are homies and we don't have to see each other all the time. We don't see each other every year, but when you leave there, if you were to call one of the people on the trip that you've landed with, that you're cool with and they don't have your back like, yeah, shit, we're doing it wrong yeah, and I guarantee you that anyone would have picked up their phone you know what I mean, like, and that's the cool.
Speaker 1:Thing like you leave there with family.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean yep, and if you decide to be a dick, we we'll figure it out.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 3:America, because that trip's all about fun. Man, we don't want anyone leaving there feeling bad. We want everyone feeling dope yeah.
Speaker 1:We want everybody feeling like it was worth the trip. Yep. It was awesome to be there and awesome to be a part of it. Yeah, Brad were you fishing. I did, yeah, I actually caught some fish too. Yeah, two little ones. But you know, hey, you know, for me, I was out in the river, I was away from just all the noise, all the just work, all the just everything. There's no stress, no nothing, I'm just, I'm in the water. I heard you, just peace.
Speaker 1:That's what I needed, I got a funny memory for you, dude.
Speaker 3:What's that? Remember when we got there the first day and I had just gotten out of the shower and I was sitting on the deck upstairs and you come walking up to me and you're like hey man, what's up? I was like, hey man, I just kind of hit my wall. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? Hit your water.
Speaker 3:I was like I was getting dizzy and shit, why is that? And I was like I don't know, probably because I've been eating blank and drinking nothing but energy drinks and smoking poker chips and I think that I've kind of hit my max and now I'm here. It was right before we ate, dude. I thought Big Tree was going down, dude, it was crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I was like yeah, because you did look right. I'm like dude, you are right, yeah, I didn't feel right. Yeah, that was great, I had one too many, that's not even like Detroit, dude.
Speaker 3:That's like going to like Wisconsin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, hey, danny.

Speaker 1:No, for real. No, I appreciate you being a guest man. No, I appreciate you guys putting together the trip too. Oh yeah, that's a, that's a great time, I hope everyone has fun.
Speaker 3:We always so. So if you steal our idea, call five ten of your buddies, plan a dude's trip every year. Find a cool name for it. Not everybody has a kick-ass wife like mine that can name it for you right dude. She called. She said why don't you call it Park Bower Bash? I texted Danny B. I was like hey man, why don't we call it Park Bower Bash?
Speaker 1:He's like fuck yeah, park Bower Bash, that's what it's been ever since. Yep, yep.
Speaker 3:We usually make a shirt. We're usually both kind of planning like play it, or I hop on Airbnb and I type in like 10 bed max and I type in like the weekends.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 3:And I'm looking constantly, scanning for places that fit a budget?
Speaker 1:Yeah, what we need. And I look, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Sometimes you'll find a house and it'll be like Portage, michigan. It's like man, everyone's going to go home.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:It's like no, it's got to be at least an hour away.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah and dude, honestly for me, I would drive six hours for this trip. Eight hours, I don't give a shit.
Speaker 2:We should do it one year in the UP, that'd be fun. That would be, that'd be fun, like way secluded. You know what I mean. Yeah, you hear the bears and stuff. Yeah, that you hear the bears and stuff.
Speaker 3:That's when we do a week.
Speaker 2:Yes, maybe at like 5. Or 10. No 10, we're going like On a cruise. I thought that too, but then that's.
Speaker 3:See, that's why I brought the cruises up.
Speaker 2:I thought that too, but that doesn't really. We wouldn't be really able to play games Like do what we would do for barb hour.
Speaker 1:Yeah, unless you run it out the whole boat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how are you going to do that? Or do a yacht, if you do like a yacht, or something.
Speaker 3:I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but my family invited us on a boat party thing where they rented a houseboat and it was like this huge boat.
Speaker 1:That would be cool, and they got a bunch of carbon monoxide and had to vacate.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, so down in?
Speaker 1:What the hell is that huge lake? I think it's down in Kentucky, cumberland Go Lake. No, I think it's Cumberland Lake. Okay, but they have houseboats that you can rent and shit. That'd be cool.
Speaker 2:That'd be fun.
Speaker 1:Except 12 guys trapped in a boat for four days. Well, it doesn't have to be 12 guys.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Thanks man on that, Are you saying?
Speaker 1:You could get a couple boats on. You know it wouldn't have to be 12 guys on that boat.
Speaker 3:I feel like it's a fine line here, brad. It's kind of like five guys, burgers and fries. I went there the other day and they only had three dudes working. I was like that's a fucking lie, that's right there, you ought to be in.
Speaker 1:Oh, and it's like hey, cindy's going to take your order, and it's like wow so if you got two boats right now you can put one on, so how are we going to find 24 guys? You're fucked up. You can do six guys on one boat, six guys on the other boat.
Speaker 3:That's an expensive boat. If you count the per capita Is there.
Speaker 1:What the fuck is wrong with him.
Speaker 3:Is there a buffet?
Speaker 1:No, there's no fucking buffet, Unless you catch fish. I guess you could have a breakfast.
Speaker 2:This whole trip is sounding bad. You can make a buffet. You can lay food out if you want and then pick it back up if you want. How?
Speaker 3:was your trip. Well, it got kind of shitty when me and Danny realized we had to work both shifts of the buffet in order for it to happen.
Speaker 2:Come on in, have a pee, pee and jump. Come on in, have a jay. But I think Whatever, no, well, yeah, five years would be cool up north, like new pee. That'd be cool. That'd be cool.
Speaker 1:Yes, that would be awesome.
