SPEAKER_02 5:33

Yeah, I'm aiming for 210, 220, and then so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

But you know what? It's it's a good thing. I need to get a little healthier. I need to be able to run around without Yeah, exactly. So still there. I did cut I did cut the tobacco out. Um I'm on the nicotine pouches. I'm I'm searching right now. So I found the Alps, which is right there. Anybody that's watching, and I really like them. They're good, good flavor.

SPEAKER_02 6:08

Um too small though.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Now I did bad mouth elp at the beginning with the sweet nectar, and those are far different. They suck.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

The winter green's good.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

The winter green's good, the refreshing chill is good, I like them uh both, and uh the um I got a call from one of our listeners just the other day. Smells good. Yeah, that one that's refreshing chill. Um kind of. Um anyway, so I uh I got a call. Oh my goodness. And um my my little buddy Dalton, he's like a little brother to me. Um he's he said, hey, I heard you guys on the show talking about the Alps. He says, I did the Alps, I liked them. He says, but try the Velo or Velo, whichever that's called. Same milligrams. Yep, same milligrams. He says, I like those better because they're a little bit bigger of a pouch, more of what I was used to before. So I went in the store to get a can of elp because I was running low. They didn't have my flavor, so I I opted for the refreshing chill, and then I saw they had the vellos there, so I said, Well, Dalton told me to try them. I'm gonna get a can of those too.

SPEAKER_02 7:32

That says Velo Plus.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:34

What is the plus?

SPEAKER_01 7:35

I have no idea. So I said, Yeah, give me one of them too. He says, just one? I said, Well, yeah. He says, Well, if you buy two, you save three dollars. So, of course, I got two. Yeah. And uh, you know, I walked in the store looking for Elp Wintergreen and come out with no Elp Wintergreen and three cans of stuff that I haven't had.

SPEAKER_02 7:57

So Yeah, you like it though?

SPEAKER_01 7:59

I do, I do. I actually I like the Velo pretty well, and I think it's cheaper. I can't remember what the price was, but I think it was cheaper, especially if you buy the two cans and save three bucks.

SPEAKER_02 8:09

So don't popularize it or you won't be able to afford it.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

No, that's true. Everybody stay away.

SPEAKER_02 8:14

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 8:16

SPEAKER_01 10:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

But I want to see honesty rather than fucking a whole bunch of bullshit.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

Smoke in mirrors.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

Yeah. You know, she had this part where she put on these big glasses and said, you know, your outlook on life, yep, them big fucking fair glasses. Okay. You know, this is how you gotta look at the world. And if you're positive and you're, you know, everything's good, things will turn out well.

SPEAKER_01 11:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:58

And just be honest with them. I mean, right. I I don't like the way we raise our kids these days. Where, you know, we've talked about this a hundred fucking times.

SPEAKER_01 12:07

That's why there's a bunch of pussy ass pansies.

SPEAKER_02 12:09

Yeah, there is. That's it. You know, um a handful of suicides out in our area lately. And uh I don't I don't want to sound insensitive. But perhaps. You're gonna maybe. But perhaps if you didn't put so much undue stress on yourself. Yeah, I'm gonna try one a lot. Um people and these speeches don't help these kids either. But well, you're lying to them. Yeah, you put so much they're putting so much stress on themselves to be what image they've been raised to believe, you know.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

Right. Where if you just teach them, you know what, it's time to hunker down, go out, work hard, yeah, do the things you're not willing to do.

SPEAKER_00 14:21

Right.

SPEAKER_02 14:22

And out of the 65, you got half a dozen that are super, and I don't like using the word successful, because people say successful, they put a dollar amount on it.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

Nah, you can't put a dollar amount on success.

SPEAKER_02 14:38

There's a lot of poor people I know that I would say are successful just because they're a damn decent person.

SPEAKER_01 14:42

And they're happy.

SPEAKER_02 14:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

And they're comfortable where they're at.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

Well, I always say, if you ain't fucking me or feeding me or paying my bills, you don't fucking matter. Stay out of my business.

SPEAKER_02 15:08

What do you got to say don't matter? Yeah. You know.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

Speaking of that, yeah. We're gonna turn to a little more positive here. Let's plug something. That's fucking negative news.

SPEAKER_02 15:19

Coming down.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

What are you doing July 11th?

SPEAKER_02 15:23

July 11th, um, hopefully playing paintball with more than just you. Um Ty said that he's got a handful of buddies that want to play. That's good. I like all the talk about it, but I'd rather see him hit that RSVP button.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

Right, we gotta know.

SPEAKER_02 15:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

We're trying to get shit in the works. Quit being last minute, quit being pokey.

SPEAKER_02 15:47

Go to your go to perpetually wrong.com, find the paintball sign-up sheet, click on it, pay your money, get RSVP'd, and then you got your spot locked in. It works. You can't you can't wait till the last minute on this shit because we got to know so they can make sure they got the right amount of things. And enough paintballs and the whole deal. So, so quit fucking around, get on the website, lock in your spot.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

And uh speaking of fucking around, 15 days, 14 hours, 34 minutes till that's it. Yeah, that's it.

Last time I looked, it was 50 days.

SPEAKER_02 16:39

I know.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

That went by fast.

SPEAKER_02 16:41

It goes fucking hey, dude. It's almost June. Oh man. But uh yeah, you get on there too. Either text the damn number or go on the website. If you click RSVP if you haven't already, yeah, because I don't want to double count. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:55

Brad's already fucking stressed, and he thinks there's more people than there was gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 16:59

Yeah, it should be a good group, but um got a pretty sweet ride planned. And we're just trying to do this stuff because it's fun and gives you all an excuse to get out for a few hours on a Saturday.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

Yeah, when when your wife gets pissed off at you for doing it, blame us.

SPEAKER_02 17:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

We don't care.

SPEAKER_02 17:16

No, and when she says I don't care, that means get on there and sign up.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:20

Yeah. That's first part of my cool advice. Sign her up. You can shoot her ass. Yeah. And nobody can yell at you for it. Because it's paintball. Yep. Unloaded 500 shots right into her ass. Well, she should have moved.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

Had some questions, and yes, that is everything. That's the gun, the CO2, the face mask, the paintballs. Yep. Um 10 to 1. And if you only got till 10 to noon, you can leave an hour early.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

Yeah, you don't have to be there the whole time.

SPEAKER_02 17:49

No. And if you leave early, you gotta give me and Bob your paintballs.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

Yeah. Don't give them to your buddy.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

Yeah. It's only fair.

SPEAKER_01 17:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:56

But yeah, so just go on the event page, look at them two things, see if it works with your calendar and let us know. Because uh, yeah, 15 days, 14 minutes, hours, and 32 minutes now is two 34 minutes. I'd already lost two minutes of planning. But yeah, we we really need to know all this stuff. Uh and if you're not gonna go when I see you in person, don't say, Oh yeah, I'll be there.

SPEAKER_01 18:21

You're gonna get a swift kick in the nuts.

SPEAKER_02 18:22

Yep. Twice.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

One from you?

SPEAKER_02 18:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 18:27

One from me.

SPEAKER_02 18:28

That's right. All this new health shit we're into. We can kick hard now. A little frustration. I wanted a beer instead of my kick you right through the asshole. That's right. Ha, damn. Um, I heard a rumor, Bob. Rumor? Yeah, some people said they liked our history lessons last week, so I figured what better thing to do than put you in charge of the weekly Michigan history.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 18:55

What do you got for us? Well, you all dialed up.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

Yeah, I do have a little Michigan history if I can uh get to it here.

SPEAKER_02 19:02

I'd love to hear it.

SPEAKER_01 19:04

Um boy, where'd that page go? Oh, this this is oh here it is right here.

SPEAKER_02 19:10

Oh, good, good.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

SPEAKER_02 19:58

King of Beaver Island.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

Yeah. How cool would that be to have to be dubbed as the king of Beaver Island?

SPEAKER_02 20:05

Almost as cool as being mayor of hell, buddy.

SPEAKER_01 20:08

Yeah. Almost.

SPEAKER_02 20:09

Yeah. No, that's pretty interesting. JJ String. Yep. He started a family up there and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

It doesn't give a whole lot of history on it.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

Mormons, they're the ones that have like multiple waves. Right.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

That's why he was the king of Beaver Island. It goes hand in hand in hand.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

Would you ever like move to Utah and pick up fucking six wives? I don't know why you would.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

In 1947. When a neighbor substituted absorbent clay for sand. Then he was like, Holy shit, this would be perfect cat letter.

SPEAKER_02 21:43

And then he So prior to that, did they not have indoor cats? I don't know. I didn't know they had kitty litter way back then.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

But cat litter was nineteen forty seven in Casopolis, Michigan.

SPEAKER_02 21:57

Casopolis, that's down by Sturgis, right?

SPEAKER_01 21:59

Uh it's South Southwest Michigan. Okay. Yeah. Down by the border.

SPEAKER_02 22:04

Well, that's a pretty interesting little treat.

Yeah, I thought so.

SPEAKER_02 22:08

Take that to work with you tomorrow.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

That's right. Um, and I got a few more here if you're if anybody's interested.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

SPEAKER_01 22:15

Uh, the city of Lansing, the great capital of Michigan.

SPEAKER_02 22:18

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

Was supposedly chosen as Michigan's capital after a group of lawmakers got lost in a fog and accidentally camped there overnight. No shit. Yep. Legend says they woke up, liked the fishing that was going on there, so it must have been Lake Lansing or something. That'd have been Lake Lansing. And um then voted that that was going to be the state capital of Michigan.

SPEAKER_02 22:44

All over a few beers and a lost soul. Yeah. That's interesting. Boy, you you really You got one more.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Yeah, I got one more if you want. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

You're kicking ass on this.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

Mackinac City. Most people know it as, but Mackinac.

SPEAKER_02 22:59

Yes, it is. City. Although the bridge is Mackinac.

SPEAKER_01 23:02

Everybody just calls it them. You gonna fact check me?

SPEAKER_02 23:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

Yeah, I don't care. Um Mackinac City once claimed to have trained ice horses in the eighteen hundreds, giant draft horses fitted with metal skates to pull mail sleds across the frozen straits of Mackinac in the winter.

SPEAKER_02 23:36

Ice skating horses.

SPEAKER_01 23:37

Yeah. So they they trained them up, got 'em. I and I I it didn't show any pictures, but I believe them to be like dual bladed so they were more stable. They were two runners, yeah. And and then the horses were ice skating their happy little asses across the lake.

SPEAKER_02 23:56

You think they used the ice road like we got today for the snowmobiles, or you think they were hadn't been Clydesdales.

SPEAKER_01 24:01

Yeah, draft horses. Oh, yeah, that is a Clydesdale. Yeah. The more you know about Michigan.

SPEAKER_02 24:09

Well, fucking eh. Yeah. That is Mackinac City. Are you sure? With a W. Okay. My internet just blinked out, but it I did get enough to say it was Mackinac City. I knew something had a W. Okay. W. Um I'm kind of excited to see what you come up with next week. Well, you know, you just gotta stick with it and JJ Strang.

SPEAKER_02 24:58

Did you kitty litter your cat?

SPEAKER_01 25:00

Yeah. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

Bag or plastic jug?

SPEAKER_01 25:05

Um litter.

SPEAKER_02 25:07

Bag jug shit.

SPEAKER_01 25:09

We we got what it was called the world's best cat litter. It was like ground up uh walnuts, I think. It was pretty fresh. Those are absorbent?

SPEAKER_02 25:17

Oh yeah. I did not know that.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

Yeah. Clumped real good. Ready to rock.

SPEAKER_02 25:24

JJ Strang.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

Yeah. Jesse James.

SPEAKER_02 25:29

Strang. There's a lot of Jesse James back then.

SPEAKER_01 25:33

Oh, I'm sorry, James Jesse.

SPEAKER_02 25:35

Oh, okay. Did I say that wrong? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

I mean, we go back.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

I'd hate for him to get confused and get shot in a bar.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

James Jesse.

SPEAKER_02 25:43

James Jesse.

SPEAKER_01 25:44

Yeah. I said it right when I read it out to everybody, but you did.

SPEAKER_02 25:48

Yeah. Um coming up on a holiday weekend. Oh yeah. Uh the state keeps saying we need more money, we need more money. Uh I did a little research.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

We all need more money.

SPEAKER_02 26:00

Because this is one of my five days off that I get a year called the holiday.

SPEAKER_01 26:05

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:05

So I had to do some research. The average state employee gets 13 holidays a year. 14 every other year because it's a voting year.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 26:17

I take problems with that part.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_02 26:20

I vote every time. Every two years I go vote.

SPEAKER_01 26:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:24

And you know them polls are open from eight in the morning, nine o'clock at night. Now I know they don't make state employees work 13-hour days, so they can't get to the anywho, 13 days. So I had to look at GM and they are uh 15 to 19 holidays in a year.

SPEAKER_01 26:45

Yep. And so leave the state employees the fuck out of this.

SPEAKER_02 26:50

They also get voting day off.

SPEAKER_01 26:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:53

Well, if it's that goddamn important, why don't we all why don't the fucking state just shut down completely? Can't buy a goddamn gallon of gas either.

SPEAKER_01 27:03

That's not my deal.

SPEAKER_02 27:06

Inquiring minds would like to do that. Well, I just feel that maybe. Maybe I only get five days off because I'm doing something the other.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

Or maybe we get that many days off because we work so hard while we're there. It's justified.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

That's an interesting way to look at it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:28

That's how I'm looking at it.

SPEAKER_02 27:31

Yeah, well neat little tidbit of Michigan history. We didn't always get that many days off. Now I figure my grandkid who's and going into third grade. And yeah, any day that ends in a Y, they get off because it's somebody's celebratory fucking holiday. Don't you think that's excessive?

SPEAKER_01 28:01

No. No, I don't. Not even a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 28:06

I don't like them as much as the uh oh.

SPEAKER_01 28:08

Okay. Well, sorry, sorry to disappoint you.

SPEAKER_02 28:11

But my excess is always somebody's success. So enjoy your fucking days off. Yeah. And I'd be alright with it. Like you guys getting Juneteenth off? Yeah. Well, huh? Let's look at a calendar. Juneteenth, where does that fall this year? Oh, on a Saturday. Yeah. So fuck your Monday. Yeah. Wow. I got six holidays this year. You're right. You know, the whole fucking well, the holidays on a weekend, so I get a Friday or a Monday off. I don't understand that either. No, you don't. You get the fucking holiday off, suck it up and deal with it.

SPEAKER_01 28:47

That's not how it works.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

But it should work that way.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

It doesn't, though, and it's okay.

SPEAKER_02 28:52

Yeah. Well, you're never gonna see the uh business side of things. Oh, you're just a reward reaper.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

Yep. I'm trading time for money.

SPEAKER_02 29:05

Not saying that I wouldn't enjoy them days off as well. I'm just saying I think it's a little excessive.

SPEAKER_01 29:12

Well, I can't help it.

SPEAKER_02 29:13

How about them state police? How many holidays do they get? Oh, geez, we need them on the road every time.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Well, they have shifts.

SPEAKER_02 29:20

Well, yeah. So do you guys. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

So if they don't So what do they do?

SPEAKER_02 29:26

Hey, Captain Darwin, you're working night shift tonight, so Bill can feel like he's getting the day off. And it seems how you got the day off, that's your holiday. No, they they're state employees and they got to work the prison guard.

SPEAKER_01 29:36

I bet where they get compensated for the holidays.

SPEAKER_02 29:39

Well, I don't know that for fact.

SPEAKER_01 29:41

I bet they do. Before you come at me with a bunch of non-researched fucking arguments.

SPEAKER_02 29:46

I'm getting pulled over on the way home tonight.

SPEAKER_01 29:48

Just to ask.

SPEAKER_02 29:49

Yep, and if it's a county cop, I'm not stopping until he calls the state for help because I got a goddamn question. Excuse me, sir. How much do you get paid to work a holiday?

SPEAKER_01 30:00

They I'm sure they get the time off like a day that was like later? Yeah, either before or after.

SPEAKER_02 30:06

I mean, all my buddies are at the lake fucking slamming goddamn funnels and shit on the 4th of July, and oh, I got the sixth off. That's a hoop.

unknown 30:14

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 30:15

I I don't know what to tell you. I'm just saying if voting day is so fucking important, we shut the whole fucking state down. You're you're you're you're barking up the wrong tree. Well, you're you're further up in the state than I am, so you can maybe I'm a low, low, low man on the total point. It takes a low guy to start looking. JJ fucking strength. He wasn't king of Beaver Island because he didn't fight somebody. That's probably true. If you look up JJ String, he was inquisitive.

SPEAKER_01 30:44

He just wanted all the pussy to himself.

SPEAKER_02 30:46

He did, fucker. Go up there on vacation, fucking tag a chick. He probably had you beheaded.

SPEAKER_01 30:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:55

Oh. Oh. Talking of B headed.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

Light bulb just popped on. I see that. Did you really? Yeah. Boom. Oh, wow. Um the listeners might get a bonus episode this weekend.

SPEAKER_02 31:07

Oh. Yes. I hope they do. Fuck this fucking internet.

SPEAKER_01 31:13

There's a good possibility of the of a bonus special guest podcast this weekend.

SPEAKER_02 31:20

Good possibility that it could be a double double.

SPEAKER_01 31:24

Double double.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

So look forward to that.

SPEAKER_01 31:28

Yeah. Good chance we might get Jason Witt on on board.

SPEAKER_02 31:32

Oh, we can't refer to him that. It's Mr. Witt.

SPEAKER_01 31:35

Oh, Mr. Witt. Did he say that?

SPEAKER_02 31:37

No, but reading his emails, I think that's what he wants.

SPEAKER_01 31:41

We may get Mr. Witt on for an episode this weekend. And the one that everybody's been waiting for.

SPEAKER_02 31:49

It's been a long road. We promised it. We didn't deliver. You know why a lot of our listeners fall off at 30 seconds? Why? They didn't hear the wives. Oh, yeah. They keep listening, waiting for it.

SPEAKER_01 32:00

So this might be the weekend that that the wives are on. So you can find out that we are actually, in fact, who we are.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

Yeah, sometimes I'm proud of that. Other times I kind of question it. Right. So I don't know. Yeah, it all it all uh it all does come right down to their moods. Yeah. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 32:22

This ain't on us. It's on them.

SPEAKER_02 32:24

Yep. We would have had them on here six, six, seven weeks ago. Fuck, months ago, three years. Eight months. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:31

Whew.

SPEAKER_02 32:32

Um. All right, I'm off my soapbox. Thank God. Holidays. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_01 32:38

Uh now I'm gonna go into my holiday feeling guilty because of how fucking pissy you are.

SPEAKER_02 32:43

Well not. You should. Ah, fuck. Um I learned something on last Sunday. We were out gathering up some graduation shit. Yep. And I said, I need to get me a new hat. All mine are sweat stained. You know that fucking sweat thing you get.

SPEAKER_01 33:01

Same problem.

SPEAKER_02 33:02

So I go into the store. All they've got are flatbed, flat bill hats.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:07

The whole store's full of them everywhere you look.

SPEAKER_01 33:09

We're not flat billed kind of guys.

SPEAKER_02 33:10

Oh fuck no. I tried one on. No, not a good look.

SPEAKER_01 33:14

How fucking dumb did you look?

SPEAKER_02 33:16

Pretty dumb. Yeah. Not as dumb as I looked when I said, don't they make a fitted hat with a curved bill anymore?

SPEAKER_00 33:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:24

That's when I felt dumb. Why? The kid looks at me and he says, Bro, bro, bro. They all come flat, man. We curve them for you. And I said, Well, the look on my face said, What the fuck? And I looked at kid number four who went with me, and I kind of gave her that scolding look of, why didn't you tell me this? Because now I feel like a fucking idiot, old man. You set me up to fail. Yeah. Well, anywho, you pick out the hat you want, and they put it in this machine and they curve it. They got a machine for it? Oh yeah. Does it do a good job? I had to straighten it out a little bit. Oh. Because you see the D?

SPEAKER_00 34:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:12

See how it looked kind of crooked a little bit? I'm not sure if it's the D that's crooked or if the bill was crooked, so I tried straightening it out with a center seam. Uh-huh. And I got close, but I I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 34:23

I guess I've never had anybody curve my bill. No, I've never.

SPEAKER_02 34:28

But that oh yeah, you added extra curved hand. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

Yeah, I I like a little more.

SPEAKER_02 34:32

But those even come pre-slightly curved. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Flat bill hat, that's for a guy that's about 40 years younger than me and don't know any better.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Yeah. That's the part. Don't know any better. Yeah. You got any young kids there at work that are flat billers? No.

unknown 34:48

No.

SPEAKER_01 34:48

No. No, that's not the that's not the line of work for flat billed hat wearers.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

I'd like to take a moment to get out my displeasure with those that are not quite at your level. They take care of roads and stuff, but they're like below you. They're like uh I guess some would call it on the county level.

SPEAKER_00 35:15

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

Okay. Well, I went and sat down for an interview. I'm uncertain what I did wrong, but I was unwanted. No problem.

SPEAKER_01 35:26

That's not everybody's cup of tea.

SPEAKER_02 35:28

Right. Thanks for the time.

SPEAKER_01 35:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

Until a week later, I see that they're advertising again.

SPEAKER_00 35:35

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 35:36

And they're not advertising once. It's every day for the last two weeks. Looking for workers, looking for workers. Well, alright, so we're five weeks into this process. You still ain't hired anybody. Give an old man a fucking shot. But new. Heard through the grapevine that it was because I'm old. Uh-huh. Um, uneducated, perhaps, might have played in that a little bit. Um that's another thing I learned at the graduation ceremony. Stop putting so much heat on college. Let these kids go out and do their thing.

SPEAKER_01 36:15

But I don't think college is the right answer for everybody.

SPEAKER_02 36:19

It's not. Some are built for it, some are not. Stop pushing it.

SPEAKER_00 36:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

And get rid of your fucking trade schools. Go get a job. Hey, Bob. Oh, Bob's plumbing. You got any room for me to work at work for you this summer? I'll I'll do whatever you need.

SPEAKER_01 36:36

Be an apprentice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:38

Maybe learn some th if I if I'm good, maybe you can keep me on. Yeah. Yeah. Four years later, I'm a journeyman. Yep. Working for Bob.

SPEAKER_00 36:46

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 36:47

Thanks for getting me here. Now I'm gonna call your clients, undercut your bids, close your shop so I can have mine. Yep. Unfortunately, that's the way a lot of it goes. But go learn it. Yeah. Hands-on. What is what is out there for girls that's hands-on learning? I don't know. Idea.

SPEAKER_01 37:10

I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_02 37:10

Because it's easy for a guy.

SPEAKER_01 37:12

Well, there's a lot of women's getting a lot of women getting in the trades. Oh, there is. And they do pretty well, I think.

SPEAKER_02 37:18

Yeah, I'm just worried that they're gonna start comparing the trades once you get so many women there, like they do nurses and doctors and stuff, and say, oh, they're all fucking no. Right. You know, I don't want that stigma to come with it. So keep your pecker in your pants.

SPEAKER_01 37:33

Well, I don't own a plumbing business, so. Although you did some plumbing uh tonight. I did. I did. Had to had a little uh mishap with the camper when I put the water to it to find out if I did a good enough job winterizing or not.

SPEAKER_02 37:47

Turns out that's a no.

SPEAKER_01 37:49

Yeah, I might have shipped the bed, but got the new part, popped it in.

SPEAKER_02 37:55

How much was that part?

SPEAKER_01 37:56

Less than $14.

SPEAKER_02 37:58

How much is uh a couple gallons of antifreeze?

SPEAKER_01 38:01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 38:02

Seven bucks a gallon at least. Probably. So you're money I had.

SPEAKER_01 38:05

I had money I had, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:07

Fuck it. I wouldn't minorize it either. Roll the dice, motherfucker. Did you summarize the snowmobiles yet?

SPEAKER_01 38:12

No. I only have one of them here.

SPEAKER_02 38:14

Is there such a thing?

SPEAKER_01 38:16

They say there is. I don't know what you're supposed to do.

SPEAKER_02 38:18

Wax it?

SPEAKER_01 38:20

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 38:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 38:22

I took the one that's home to the car wash and washed it all up.

SPEAKER_02 38:25

On the trailer?

SPEAKER_01 38:26

Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Get all the salt residue, all that off of it. So. Is there much metal on those anymore? It's aluminum. A lot of aluminum.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

So nothing that can rust.

SPEAKER_01 38:36

No, but it'll corrode.

SPEAKER_02 38:37

Yeah, and then it looks like shit.

SPEAKER_01 38:39

Yeah, it does.

SPEAKER_02 38:40

Ummer sport adventures. Call a couple places for motorcycle tires.

SPEAKER_01 38:48

Oh, yeah. Gotta have those.

SPEAKER_02 38:51

For 33 cents a day, you can keep Brad alive. Yeah. That's all I got to say about that.

SPEAKER_00 38:55

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 38:56

Holy fuck, a grand to 1,500 for a pair of fucking tires. Yeah. You're out of your goddamn mind. Yeah. Well, I got to looking at it when I got home. Ah, fucking front tires still got thousands of miles on it, so I'm just replacing the back. But I used the old We Ride Michigan page.

unknown 39:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:12

And I said, where the hell are you guys all getting your tires from? Well, this cat from Holly messaged me. Set up pretty sweet, deal. He's got the tire that's just like the ones that I had, so them are fucking uh discontinued now, so you can't even get them. So I was happy he's got one. I'm gonna go down there next week, get that put on. Um hell of a lot less than that, you know. 370 bucks, tire, labor, everything.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

Well, you let me know when you're going, I'll go with you. We'll ride down there together. We could do that. Yeah. That way if you have a blowout, I'll be there.

SPEAKER_02 39:43

Oh, if it's a new one that blows out, that would be really pissy.

SPEAKER_01 39:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:48

Yeah. Well, you got that on yours, didn't you? If I could roll over a nail.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

I had a screw on the tire and 1300 miles on a brand new fucking tire.

SPEAKER_02 39:56

Did they pay for that? Do you like uh I have it on that bike.

SPEAKER_01 40:01

I have it on this bike.

SPEAKER_02 40:03

So if you roll over a nail, they're supposed to replace it.

SPEAKER_01 40:05

Yep, yep. Long as it's within the tread depth specifications.

SPEAKER_02 40:09

That'll save you a fucking ton of money. Yeah. So you get down to 330 seconds and whoop.

SPEAKER_01 40:15

Oh shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:17

Who left them roofing nails here? Uh-huh. Huh. So one of them guys on that page, though. That's where I was going here. Um, says, Well, that's why I went to dark side. What are your feelings on that? Because I'm a big no.

SPEAKER_01 40:34

You know, I've I've read a lot of different posts, I've read a lot of different things, and for anybody that doesn't know what we're talking about, dark side is actually a a car tire on the back of your motorcycle. So it's a flat, flat tire instead of a rounded tire.

SPEAKER_02 40:48

And then when you turn, you're going on the other flat part.

SPEAKER_01 40:52

On the air, you're yeah, you're you got a small window of of leaning on it before you get on the sidewall of the tire.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

And the sidewall's not made.

SPEAKER_01 41:01

To ride on. A lot of people do it. Right. So a lot of people are like, oh, once you go, once you go that way, you'll never go back. It's so much better. Car tires are so much more dependable, blah, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_02 41:14

Well like the idea of getting 40,000 miles out of a tire.

SPEAKER_01 41:18

Yeah. But I also like the idea of when we're riding and I lean, I know that I got good tire to ride on.

SPEAKER_02 41:26

Something's holding you there. Yeah. It's made for that.

SPEAKER_01 41:29

So the way we ride, I would say probably not a good idea.

SPEAKER_02 41:33

And I'm starting to wonder about that too, because uh I was looking at, well, I was looking up tires, the ones I've got says, oh, you should get 20 to 26,000 on the back and thirty thousand on the front.

SPEAKER_00 41:44

Right.

SPEAKER_02 41:45

I'm at thirteen thousand, and they're could I get through summer with that one? Perhaps. Is it worth risking? No. Okay. You know, it ain't worth it. It rains, I don't want to be all squirrely.

SPEAKER_01 42:01

And every every tire rating for mileage is based on you driving at a normal speed.

SPEAKER_02 42:09

Being good.

SPEAKER_01 42:10

Being not hard on the throttle, hard on the brakes. It's just, yeah, th those are that's just like the fuel economy numbers on the window stickers. Yeah, you can get it in the perfect conditions.

SPEAKER_02 42:22

Yeah, in a wind tunnel on a fucking uh treadmill, yes.

SPEAKER_01 42:25

But you're not I mean, the those numbers are exaggerated. They are, as far as I'm concerned.

SPEAKER_02 42:31

If I can get 26,000 out of it, well then fucking a grand is worth it. Right.

SPEAKER_01 42:35

But I'm at the you're not gonna. It it we just ride more aggressive than what their standards are. Yeah. And that's not a bad thing.

SPEAKER_02 42:46

No, it's a fun thing.

SPEAKER_01 42:48

Yeah. Um We went for that ride uh Saturday night. Saturday afternoon. Yeah, that was short and enjoyable. Yeah, went got a bite to eat and a couple drinks.

SPEAKER_02 43:00

Oh, you had a bite to eat. Trisha had a bite to eat. Kelly had a bite to eat. Brad got a fucking plate full of fucking opo with enough potatoes in there to barely fill a tea. A golf tea. You saw that little potato chunk. Oh and I I screenshot their menu here. Um, let's see here. Where's my photos at? Photos. No, I want photos. That was Google. Boy, we are a couple of well, and I can't compare it. Yeah, I'm a fucking idiot sometimes when it comes to this goddamn thing.

SPEAKER_01 43:43

What he's getting at is he ordered a bowl of potato soup and there was not one single chunk of potato.

SPEAKER_02 43:52

I'm sorry, it says loaded potato soup, which implies if we strained. The potatoes out, there's at least bacon in there.

SPEAKER_01 44:03

Loaded means load, like you ever had loaded mashed potatoes? Yep. Bacon, cheese. Everything. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

I had fucking potato soup broth in that book.

SPEAKER_00 44:14

You did. You did.

SPEAKER_02 44:15

Oh, let's go to page two here. Hot beef plate. It's a roast beef on a thick cut white bread with mashed potatoes. It says it right in there. With mashed potatoes and gravy. Your choice of coleslaw or cottage cheese. Hey, I'll have the hot beef sandwich. Okay, it gets out there. I've got warm beef on Wonderbread. A little itty fucking speck of my potato in there. And I said, Well, when I was ordering this, she said cottage cheese or coleslaw. And I looked at the wife because I don't eat either other. And she said, I'll eat your cottage cheese. So I said, cottage cheese, please, dear. Well, lo and behold, it's a cup of goddamn coleslaw. So fuck Turks goddamn on the beach at the lake house, whatever the fuck they're called. Do better than that. I mean, the beef was good, but it's better with bread and potatoes. My meal was good. But you had you had a macaroni and cheeseburger. Yeah. Oh, I did get a side of mac and cheese. That was good. So I will give them kudos for that.

SPEAKER_01 45:21

The mac and cheeseburger was good. It was uh big hardy Texas toast and uh nice patty bacon, macaroni and cheese.

SPEAKER_02 45:32

Are you going back there? Well, not with you. Oh fuck no. You get spit in your food. Yeah. Piss me off, Bob. Piss me off. And then Yeah, we sat outside and the the guy screaming in a microphone there.

SPEAKER_01 45:51

Yeah, that was that wasn't much to be desired there.

SPEAKER_02 45:53

No, that was excessive. Um girl said she was new. I can accept that. Yeah, she did good for being new. But she's not the one that did not put potatoes on my fucking. None of it was her fault. No, none of it was. She did a good job. Yeah, so if you're out there.

SPEAKER_01 46:11

I don't remember her name.

SPEAKER_02 46:12

The girl that's new up there at Turk's fucking bullshit goddamn restaurant.

SPEAKER_01 46:19

Turk Lake. It's not Turk's, it's Turk Lake. Turk Lake. Restaurant and bar.

SPEAKER_02 46:24

Restaurant and bar.

SPEAKER_01 46:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 46:25

Might want to remove restaurant from your fucking name. It is a good bar. Um then we were something.

SPEAKER_01 46:33

Well, we won't be adding that to one of our stops on the ride.

SPEAKER_02 46:36

I doubt it. Unless they send me a fucking we got potatoes in stock, come back. Um is that the same place we were that the beer tasted soapy?

SPEAKER_01 46:48

It tasted like IPA. I mean it was Bushlight, but it had an IPA, because they they obviously had poured IPA in that glass prior to that.

SPEAKER_02 46:59

But other than that, I mean it was a great place to go.

SPEAKER_01 47:02

I mean everything sucked, but it was good.

SPEAKER_02 47:09

The hope's nice. Yeah. They all said goodbye on the way out.

SPEAKER_01 47:13

Yeah. Thinking we're never gonna see that guy again.

SPEAKER_02 47:16

The other guests were nice. Chairs were comfortable, tables were a little small for four.

SPEAKER_01 47:21

Tables were very small. Yeah. It was like a TV dinner, TV tray. It was.

SPEAKER_02 47:26

Yeah, with four of us sitting around the goddamn thing. Um but you know what? It is what it is. We met some two two decent dudes on the way out. Yeah. They were cool.

SPEAKER_01 47:36

Yeah, two. They're brothers. Yes, they were.

SPEAKER_02 47:37

I don't remember what their names were, but we should start writing it down, or at least, you know.

SPEAKER_01 47:46

Yeah. Well, they'll be able to tell us because they're listening now, so they are. Yeah. So when they tell us, hey, asshole, our names are this.

SPEAKER_02 47:55

Now we know. Yeah. So let us know. We're doing pretty good on the website, though. We're keeping with uh three hundred to five hundred fucking stop buys every week. Oh, yeah. All them people getting ready to RSVP and then they back out because they don't want their wives seeing them entering a credit card in for whatever. Um yeah, the rest of that whole the whole fucking night was short, but it was fun. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Except for the fucking potatoes.

SPEAKER_01 48:23

Lack of.

SPEAKER_02 48:24

Lack of potato.

SPEAKER_01 48:25

Um we had a baseball game the other night. Uh kid game? Yeah. Yep. Yep. And um we're playing. And I I don't know if this is something new, because I wasn't real heavily involved in baseball when I was a kid. But I know the girls' softball, it's it's very normal for this. Um but I'm starting to see it more and more over the last two years at boys' baseball games. You're out there playing and say your team's up to bat. And the kids from your dugout are chanting and screaming at the top of their lungs, and and it's like for the kid or against the kids.

SPEAKER_02 49:20

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:21

So it's so it's your team, you're up to bat. Your kids on your dugout are just hooting and hollering and saying all these chants that are baseball this, doubles, dingers, singles, triples, whatever, whatever the fuck it is. When has that started being acceptable? Because I think it is completely foolish. I think it looks dumb, and I think it needs to stop.

SPEAKER_02 49:46

I'm glad you brought this up to me instead of one of your other friends.

SPEAKER_01 49:49

Why?

SPEAKER_02 49:50

Because I can help you with this.

SPEAKER_00 49:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 49:52

Those that don't know, um back in 1984, I played for the Puomo Elevator. We were dressed in blue.

SPEAKER_00 50:01

All right.

SPEAKER_02 50:02

And just so happens that we were the little league champions that year. Championship team.

SPEAKER_00 50:09

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 50:10

So I'm experienced with the baseball.

SPEAKER_00 50:13

All right.

SPEAKER_02 50:13

All right. Oh, you should have been there that summer, Bob. That's what dreams are made of.

SPEAKER_01 50:20

I can almost see it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 50:21

Young Bradley. Oh my god. Yeah. Well, Bruce throwing fire across that plate. One gets out of control, hits left field. Uh- I got it. Anywho, no, that is unacceptable and it's asinine behavior. It it you sit there, you shut up, you, you, you throw it, slap them on the ass on the way out. Hey, get one for us. Get a hit. Yeah. Get on base.

SPEAKER_01 50:44

Let's go, Brad. You got this.

SPEAKER_02 50:46

But acting like a bunch of fucking six-year-old girls yelling all that dugout.

SPEAKER_01 50:51

It just looks like trash. It does. That's exactly what it looks like. And it's like, I don't know why these coaches allow it on their teams.

SPEAKER_02 51:01

They should not.

SPEAKER_01 51:02

You know, and I think a part of it is they're trying to throw the pitcher off by by hooting and hollering and chanting and all this. But it's like, let's go out there and play the game, show some class. Yes. And get with it.

SPEAKER_02 51:17

You know how we threw the pitcher off back in 1984?

SPEAKER_01 51:20

How?

SPEAKER_02 51:22

Walked up there with your bat. Just give them the eyes.

SPEAKER_01 51:27

Looked him in the eye and say, You're going down. Put one between here and here. Dare you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:33

That's how you took care of it then. But yeah, I don't like all the chanting. Um, it does. It sounds foolish. It ruins the game. It does. Um, but you know, not so much in baseball, but in their defense when they're watching some of these pro sports. Yeah. Baseball you don't see it. Um racing, you don't see it. Basketball, you see it a fair bit. Football, you see it a lot, is the show boating.

SPEAKER_00 51:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 52:00

The acting like a fool.

SPEAKER_00 52:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 52:02

Um, you know, remember Barry Sanders? Oh, yeah. Crossed that goddamn line with football on his hand a million times. Yeah. Walked over, handed it to the ref. Walked off. Right. He didn't have some riggy biggie fucking dance, you know, where the whole fucking team's got to line up and form a goddamn F-14 and all ass fuck each other. No riggy biggie going on there. Not a drop. He just handed the ball off. Hey, I'm getting a big check for doing my fucking job. Yep. I did my job. Here's the ball.

SPEAKER_01 52:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 52:34

Do it with class. Yep. And when you get in the locker room, if you want to act like a fucking fool, go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 52:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 52:40

Behind closed doors. Yep. With your team. We're not seeing you.

SPEAKER_01 52:43

Yeah. Yeah. So quit acting stupid on the fucking dugouts.

SPEAKER_02 52:47

Do you know the coaches? Are you friends with them or no?

SPEAKER_01 52:50

Of our coaches? Yeah. Yeah. Our kids don't do that.

SPEAKER_02 52:54

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 52:55

No, no, our kids don't do that.

SPEAKER_02 52:58

Okay. If they did, I'd go down there and say, I was going to say, you gotta say something. Yeah. No.

SPEAKER_01 53:04

It's just it's these other teams. Every team we play, it's like they're they're doing it. It's like, hey, coach, get a handle on your fucking kids. You know, and you guys like shit.

SPEAKER_02 53:14

You gotta wonder, are they letting them run off like that because at least they're gonna be back next week because they don't hate it? I I don't know. But it's still. And either they're gonna like it or they're not. Yeah. You know, you're not gonna get every kid on your team. Right. Um, but yeah, I don't I don't like that stuff. Uh not at all.

SPEAKER_01 53:37

No. No. It just it just looks it looks like shit. Looks like trash.

SPEAKER_02 53:42

It does. And well, sometimes you gotta look at those that are coaching too because much like, yeah. Um onto a different segment. Yeah. And I'm gonna I'm gonna try to throw Spotify off here. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 54:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 54:01

Chapter six. Spotify has chapters.

SPEAKER_03 54:05

Yes, it does. And if you look, we just learned that.

SPEAKER_02 54:07

Yeah, Kelly is telling us that. And uh it's so neat because it gives you what we talked about, so you can skip around and be like, what'd he say about that box of pussies? Yeah, and fucking click there. They felt great. Yeah. It's really fucking neat. I wish Apple would do that. I'm not a big Spotify guy, but I have been looking at it a lot more on Spotify.

SPEAKER_01 54:30

Well, I think that's a really neat feature that they it is. And I never knew it.

SPEAKER_02 54:34

No. You ever uh watch a podcast or you know, it it's hard with other podcasts, but like our own, you know, I I turned it on the other day and I turned on uh uh uh the the the words, uh subtitles, yeah, closed captioning, whatever it is. And it's funny because when I listen to us, we're not really the most clear. Correct. We're not. But that damn, whoever's sitting there while I'm watching that and typing out the words, they're not. It's a computer. They do a good job.

SPEAKER_01 55:09

Oh, motherfucker, you shifted gears before I got to say what I wanted to say. Oh, and there was more baseball hate? No, it was before that. Oh. When we went out Saturday for the ride. Yeah. And then you went on some fucking tangent about your shit food that was actually really good.

SPEAKER_02 55:28

Sometimes would you have been happy if you ordered that and you got a fucking slab of meat and goddamn wonder bread and no fucking potatoes? No, but that's why I didn't order that. Didn't was there a sign that said we're out of potatoes?

SPEAKER_01 55:43

No. Anywho, let's let's get back to it. Where I was going with that point was I get to your house, I got a half a tank of gas.

SPEAKER_03 55:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:55

I said, Hey, I don't know how much gas you got, but I got a half a tank. I'm good for a little while, but I'm gonna need some.

SPEAKER_02 56:04

Are you talking about my little Alzheimer moment that kicked in there?

SPEAKER_01 56:07

Yeah. You you pull in to the same fucking shithole gas station, which your choice of gas stations are the worst fucking choice of gas stations I've ever been to in my life.

SPEAKER_02 56:18

Did you put your feet down when you were there, or did you just keep rolling? I kept rolling.

SPEAKER_01 56:20

I just knew that all they had was 87.

SPEAKER_02 56:25

Woods Corners, let's get some fucking premium. All the boat traffic and bike traffic you got.

SPEAKER_01 56:31

Last year, in the fall, we left your house, needed gas, we both needed gas. You pulled into that motherfucker, and all they have is 87 octane. Every single pump has one fucking selection, 87 octane. Every single one of them. We're riding and we're coming up to that corner, and I said, You knew where I was going to be. Because it's a shithole fucking gas station. So then what do you do? You pull in there. And I fucking said to her, I says, That dumb motherfucker, I said, he's got the memory of a fucking goldfish. And she's like, Yeah, they don't sell it here. So, well, we motor out of there, and where do we go? We go down the road a little ways, and we pull into the next shithole gas station that we find. Instead of a there's a speedway, there's a fucking Meyer gas station, there was a shell, I mean the Sinoco, and what do we pull into? Vicks farming country. Yeah, exactly. Don't even know what the fuck it is. They probably got gas from three years ago sitting in the fucking barrels, and you just have to go to them fucking shitty gas station. You never have to wait, though. Yeah, because nobody wants the fucking water that's in it. Right. I don't blame them. Good night. Fucking fucking memory like a goldfish. That's where I want you to do. What?

SPEAKER_02 57:57

I want you to get me a little patch that says goldfish. And next time I run into Scuba Steve, I can say they call me goldfish.

SPEAKER_01 58:06

If I had my vest on, I'd you'd see it. That's right.

SPEAKER_02 58:10

That was his name, right? Scuba Steve. Scuba Steve.

SPEAKER_01 58:12

Yep. We run into old Scuba Steve on the road Saturday night.

SPEAKER_02 58:16

Those of you that don't know, Scuba Steve is Big Mike's brother from Capitol. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 58:22

The the the Parts Counter guy at Capitol Harley.

SPEAKER_02 58:26

Yeah. Big Mike. He's a good guy.

SPEAKER_01 58:28

Super good guy. I really like going and seeing him.

SPEAKER_02 58:31

Oh, his brother, Scuba Steve was good guy. Oh, Scuba Steve's great.

SPEAKER_01 58:34

He was uh he was much more talkative than his brother Mike.

SPEAKER_02 58:39

Oh yes. Yes. I'm guessing uh Steve is younger because usually it's the younger ones that No no no no you think it's the other way around?

SPEAKER_01 58:48

No. Mike is younger than Scuba Steve.

SPEAKER_02 58:51

I think it's just living a harder life.

SPEAKER_01 58:53

In fact, tomorrow I'm probably gonna cruise up to the dealer.

SPEAKER_02 58:58

Drop off one on the flyer.

SPEAKER_01 59:00

Drop off a flyer and uh talk to Big Mike about it. And say, Hey, you talked to Scuba Steve since last week? See what he says.

SPEAKER_02 59:11

Yeah, you should.

SPEAKER_01 59:12

I will. I'm gonna I'm gonna see what he's got to say. I'll go in and with with my investigation skills.

SPEAKER_01 59:25

No, no.

SPEAKER_02 59:26

Yeah. Yeah. That'd be a fun little field trip right around the corner. Yeah. I got a few minutes to kill.

SPEAKER_01 59:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 59:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:33

We'll we'll coordinate that.

SPEAKER_00 59:54

Yep. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 59:55

Yep. He's a good guy, though. I do enjoy him. Um fuck while you're up there, you may as well uh buy something.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:06

What do you want me to buy?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:07

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:09

I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:10

You always need something.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:12

Maybe we'll talk to him about sponsoring us a new table.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:15

Oh yeah, because they got extras nobody uses in there.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:18

We just take that out with us.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:20

You have to put it in your truck 'cause I'm gonna ride the bike.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:22

Yeah, I will. Yep, flip the top back, load up uh table and a couple chairs. Yeah. Well, I need two chairs. Yeah. I bet he'll do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:32

Well, he don't have a say in it.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:34

Yeah. Just I'm gonna go out back, I'm gonna talk to the owner so she can't see you guys and haul it out.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:40

Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:41

Yeah. Um fucking scuba Steve.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:45

Now he is a trap.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:47

Yeah, he was.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:48

It's a pretty kick-ass Z bar handlebars. Yeah, like legal bolts.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:53

Yeah, you Google it, they don't fit on yours. Oh. So have them custom made though. Heard they take a lot of the shake out. Which I'd never notice much vibration. I don't get any unless I let go of the fucking bars and then my cup holder goes, I don't have that. No?

SPEAKER_01 1:01:11

Uh uh.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:14

Maybe I'm missing a motor mount.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:15

You could be.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:17

Oh, fuck, what else we got on here, Bob? Oh, I don't know. Um, have I talked about Turk Lake restaurant yet? Yeah, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:29

Yeah, yeah, you sure have.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:33

I'm just curious. I don't want anybody going up there with the false hope of having a hot beef and potato sandwich.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:40

Um I see there's a dig on me here. Oh or no?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:46

I doubt that.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:47

This is maintenance and you.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:48

Oh yeah, maintenance and you. Uh another fine segment I'd like to touch on in our weekly show.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:57

That you already covered with the camper leak. Yeah. Yeah. God damn. Who knew winter was coming, not me. That that that brought me into thinking about some other maintenance stuff. Like what? Uh motorcycle, lawnmower, weed whacker, uh, excavator, um, mini skid loader, uh work truck, yeah, personal truck.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:24

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:25

You keep up on the oil changes and all that shit and all that stuff. I because I I You think I don't. No, that's not what I'm saying at all. What are you saying? I'm asking because the bike, I am tip top on it all the time. Yep. Uh the wife's van, boom. But the kids' cars and my truck, it's kinda like, oh yeah, I should do that. And I should do that. You know how that goes. I should do that.

unknown 1:02:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:56

Oh yeah, I should do that. But you know, I'm just kind of curious because it's like uh fucking some people, you know, I don't know if you saw my chainsaw the other day how dirty that is, and you know, it's got fucking enough bark in there to make probably twelve hundred fucking pencils. Some people they pull the covers off, they clean them all up. You know.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:24

I don't know. Well, I'll tell you. My maintenance program most of the time ain't worth a shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:34

If it ain't knocking, leave it alone.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:36

No, well, not that bad, but um certain things I maintenance. And those are things that I really, really, really rely on. Skid steer, I maintenance it. I rely on that to make money. Motorcycle, that probably gets the best maintenance out of anything I have because I need it to run perfect every time. And if something goes awry with that, the safety risk goes way up.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:07

Yeah, you're missing a couple wheels.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:09

So that that is number one, that will always get the best treatment, best maintenance. And everybody that knows me, we live on a dirt road, and my washing program for my vehicles is non-existent. I don't give a fuck. It ain't worth it. I could wash that motherfucker today, and it'll be dirty tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:30

Unless somebody's gonna pick it up and fly it out to the road. You're yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:34

My motorcycle that gets wet, that gets good baths. I I have no problem washing that because I want it to look nice. I take it out when I want to go out and enjoy it, and I want it to be nice and clean and pretty and all the things.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:49

So Yeah, it's just funny how we we don't pick those on purpose, but it just kind of falls into place like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:59

Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:00

You know.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:01

But you know, my my pickup truck, yeah, run it'll you know, it'll go a little over on an oil change, you know, a little bit. It doesn't bother me none. Right. But yes, I keep the oil changed on that.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:13

Um I'm usually like five thousand miles on that. I'm a little over now, but fuck, dude. God damn of you price of fucking oil.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:24

Try doing it on diesel.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:25

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I'm thinking about draining it through a fucking piece of cheesecloth and reusing it. Recycle. God damn. It's yeah, it's um little something. Uh talked to the IRS lawyer yesterday. Oh, yeah. Yeah, fucking IRS put us on twenty eight hundred dollar a month fucking payments. They said, that's what you got for extra money. Well, if I had twenty eight hundred extra dollars a month, I'd have a lot of money in my fucking bank.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:56

Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:57

So now we gotta go through another rigmarole. Anywho, the dude said it. Can take another up to another fucking year dealing with these guys before everything's settled. It's fucking insane.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:07

Huh.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:07

You know, motherfucker, just look at the fucking shit. You can see we didn't steal any money. Let it go. But they they don't do that.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:16

They're like fucking once they did the claws in.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:18

They they were gonna get a good grip.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:20

Yeah. We gotta we gotta and you know, fucking Trump. Come on, man. You said you were gonna fire them all. Let's do it. Yeah, she'd hurry up. What are we waiting on?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:30

SPEAKER_01 1:10:28

Maybe I'll retract that statement.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:30

Like, nah, shut up. No, you don't. Right. Then I was there where it was like, ooh, boy, look at that fatty. You know? So but I don't make a big deal about it.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:45

Oh yeah. Like I want to run or something. Oh, the waterfalls. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:55

You know, you know, when they s when they sing that song, Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls, I get it now. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:03

That did, it kicked my ass. You know, and I think a lot of weight to lug up and down them steps. I don't want that no more.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:10

Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:11

But I don't want to give up everything I love either, you know.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:16

Well, you need to do it in moderation. You do.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:18

That's what they say. I'll tell you what. In the last six, seven months. Six, seven. Oh, God, I keep doing that. Um I used to go and I used to get me a quality dairy donut every day. Those will kill you. And a chocolate milk. I have not had one in six or seven months. You know what I also haven't had this week?

SPEAKER_00 1:12:37

An energy drink.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:38

Oh. In fact, I have stopped drinking energy drinks most of the time.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:43

Do you feel more energetic now that you're not relying on it?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:46

Uh I'm in swings right now.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:49

Um, but for the last few weeks I've I've kind of cut them out unless I'm like a dragging ass, then I'll get one. But I generally only have one on podcast days.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:59

Well, you gotta. That's a lot of sugar.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:01

Yeah. Well, no, I do the zero sugar.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:04

Oh, what's in there that? I have no idea.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:07

Something. Huh. But no, I I I'm even cutting them out. Pretzels? No. Oh. God no.

unknown 1:13:15

SPEAKER_02 1:13:16

Don't get oh overboard.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:17

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And the listeners will appreciate that, so I won't be eating them in the dumb microphone no more. Yeah, it's hard though.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:26

It's uh you know, it ain't in me to go hang out at a fucking gym and do all that shit. I don't have time for it anyway.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:34

I don't have the time for a gym.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:36

I I kind of it'd be kind of cool, but I did it. I just want to fit good in an XL again.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:44

Me too. That's all I want. Me too. Because I started buying a couple double XLs, and I don't like that.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:51

I don't like that. They fit right. They fit back. I do like the way they fit. But my XL was starting to open up on the bottom because my belly was so big. Pushing it out, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:03

Yeah. And then if you if you stand up straight, you got a little fucking skin showing.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:07

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:08

Yeah, nobody wants to see this mid rib. Nobody wants to see that.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:13

Yeah, but it's so hard to get rid of. And then I see all these people too that damn, you're starting to look good. You know, they lost some weight. Yeah. And then whatever they were doing, whether it be the shot, a pill, a diet, a fucking vitamin, whatever it is, they quit doing it, and boy, it comes back quick.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:31

Oh, God, yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:32

That's insane.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:33

It's like Yeah. Yeah. So you I mean, it's a lifestyle change. It is. It is. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:39

And you know, no offense, lose some weight if you want. But uh off air, we'll revisit this whole beer situation because I'm I'm uncertain how well that's gonna work. What? You could have done this in the winter, no biggie. But you're doing it right at peak bike riding season.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:58

I can still have a good time without being drunk.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:01

I told you that once, and you said, ah, the fuck you can! Here's a beer. True. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. And it wouldn't hurt, honestly, just even if it ain't from a weight perspective, to cut back a little bit on the boozin'. Yeah. That's good for your liver.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:19

And I'm gonna um I'm gonna offset some of the beer with the Tito's like I talked about, but um I'm not gonna ride the bike and drink liquor.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:30

Oh god, no.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:30

I that I I'm not comfortable with that. I don't, you know, because that I got too many people's lives in my responsibility, and it's just not worth it. No. So I'll I'll drink fucking ice water before I drink liquor and ride the bike.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:44

Just don't chew the cubes when I'm sitting by a ice water. Oh, I hate it when I hear somebody munching on the ice.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:50

You're gonna fucking hate me then. Oh, are you a chewer? Every piece of ice around. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:55

Oh. Yeah, Trish does that a lot.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:59

You're gonna get it from both sides of the table. Yeah, I know. You're gonna lose your check.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:03

Me, the tears. Bring back the singer from Turk Lake. And he, you know what, be honest, he did a good job.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:13

Yep. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:16

SPEAKER_02 1:16:22

Yeah. So, you know, and I don't know, that could be me getting old. It's like, well, when we're at Schaefer's and then all that wedding party come in there and the music got louder.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:31

Maybe I am just kind of a crotchedy old guy, but Well, we both are then, because it irritates.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:35

Did it bother you too? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:38

You know, let me just sit here. I'm sitting at a table to talk to people.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:41

SPEAKER_01 1:17:17

That was the first and only time that we've trashed one. Trashed one, yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:23

At the time it sounded deserving.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:25

Well, in in just so people know, it was our we did our second episode after we got back from the trip, and we're like, oh, we can get two episodes done in one night. That's what it was. And then that way we only got to meet every other week.

Oh, yeah, I love the reels.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:01

Mine always has a bunch of big titties women in skimpy clothes. Mine too.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:05

I don't they must know we're guys, so they're targeting us.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:08

Yeah. They're trying to corrupt us.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:10

SPEAKER_02 1:19:20

So you got some chick. Shaking everything. Shake what your mama gave you. Me for one night or a hundred thousand dollars. Easy. Fuck yeah, hundred thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:35

All day long.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:36

Bitch, you ain't worth a hundred grand.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:38

No. Because I'll tell you what, I'll keep 99 of it and go buy a chick as hot as you for a night and still be money ahead.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:46

Honestly, take her fucking money, cash the goddamn check, and you probably pick her up for six beers. Right. Yeah, look at that. You got the hundred grand and you for fucking six goddamn carbuses.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:56

Me for one night.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:57

Yeah, I don't understand that. And these girls, too. Now, how are they still making money? All of them. Because there's a bunch of fucking saturated though, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:20:09

People pay for it. I I don't get it. And look, I'm gonna put it to you just like this. I don't give a fuck how good looking you are, how nice a tit you got. You could have the best pussy knowing the man. You could be a number one right over here. Oh or don't get your finger caught in there. God damn. And uh no matter how hot you are and how badass you think you are, someone is tired of fucking you. Oh yes. So you're you're nothing you're nothing special.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:40

Yeah, you're not I just don't get it because you know, you uh you put fucking 40 goddamn weed stores on Cedar Street, half of them are closed because they couldn't compete. Yeah. You put 30 strip clubs on the same street, half of them are closed because they can't compete. Right. But yeah, every day I open Facebook and there's a new chick. Yeah, come see my OnlyFans.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:02

And they're making money. Yeah. But there's these motherfucking weirdos that sit there that don't go out and actually have a woman or know how to even talk to a woman, and they get on their computer and these bitches start telling them they love them and this and that and get friendly with them, and they just start fucking sliding the card. Fucking crazy, dude. Yeah. But they also live in their mom's basement and they're fucking 400 pounds and and do they realize that this is never going to happen?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:31

I mean, right, or is there a segment in their brain that doesn't separate the fantasy from the well they've gotta realize it.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:41

If you're spending money, like a fair amount of money on that, there's uh obviously something wrong with you. Gotta be. So they don't realize it because there's something wrong with them. Now, I'm not above, you know, you see a chick, you're like, she's pretty hot. Oh, yeah. I'd give her ten bucks for a month of OnlyFans and see what she's got to offer, whatever. It's not something I'd give ten dollars, ten dollars, ten dollars, ten dollars.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:09

I'd like to have you ever gotten on there and paid for a month?

SPEAKER_01 1:22:13

I've never even ever been on it.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:14

Do you know anybody that has paid? Ask them if it's really ask them next time you see them.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:21

Is it personalized? Yes. Yeah. Because I'm curious. I think it's not. I mean, if you're like a if you're like a big spender, I'm sure you get some personalized videos, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:32

Because there's gotta be something there that's hooking you. Right. I I don't I don't see it. But I mean, I'd rather go to the titty club and spend fucking 20 bucks on a lap dance, at least then I'm you know.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:45

Well, you got some taunch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:48

But I mean, i if you're if you're going to OnlyFans to get your rocks off, everything that's on OnlyFans is right on the internet porn site. For free. For free. For free. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:03

So maybe they're not saying, oh, hey, Brad, I got this over here going on, and I've been thinking about you. Who gives a fuck? Right. No, I I don't I typically only need the damn trailer of the fucking porn site. And I need the whole video.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:19

I don't even have the volume on usually. Right. Yeah. So But that's a good point, yeah. Everything is out there is out there for free. Right. Why are you paying?

SPEAKER_01 1:23:30

Yeah. But that's no different than the guys that go to the strip clubs week in, week out, go see the same stripper. Front row guys, same stripper. They spend all this money on her, and she tells you, Oh, I love you. I'm so glad you came in to see me. Oh, I can't wait to be with you someday. Someday never comes.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:54

Oh, thank God he left because Jim just walked in.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:56

Yeah, and he's got the same song and dance.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:58

SPEAKER_01 1:24:05

SPEAKER_02 1:24:06

But yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:07
