105: Hot Ice, Cold Hearts - More segments. Less restraint.

Episode 5 of What Were We Saying? widens the net—and lowers the bar.

This week, the guys discuss “What’s Dumb This Week,”, & Big Uke brings his  “Big Uke’s Bunch O’ Stuff,” list

They also crack open the WWWS Mailbag once again—because the listeners have thoughts—and, naturally, return to “3 Things That Can Kick Rocks,”.

More structure. More chaos.
Five episodes in, and they’re still not done talking.

SPEAKER_06 0:46

Damn near killed him.

SPEAKER_05 0:53

Oh man, I that is just uh oh oh oh okay Edgar, you didn't tell us we were actually starting. Uh hey, how's it going? I'm Big Uke. This is Tube Sox This is episode five of What Were We Staying with uh Big Uke and Tube Socks coming to you uh live on tape delay from uh Sunny Downtown as we do. Uh before we kick things off, I will still introduce Edgar, the guy who's recording. Uh Harold Winthrop, the uh Silver Ashtray Orchestra.

SPEAKER_06 1:25

Silver Ashtray Orchestra, that is the boys.

SPEAKER_05 1:28

Bringing us out. Thanks for uh showing up again today, boys. Uh yeah. Episode five, we're here doing it again.

SPEAKER_06 1:36

I was going to uh get you something for you know episode five. But I didn't.

SPEAKER_05 1:44

I mean that's fair.

SPEAKER_06 1:45

Well, you know, thought of it. I was gonna print off a nice episode five art piece, folk art, but uh didn't.

SPEAKER_05 1:53

Hey, it's a thought that counts, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:55

It is, and I did think about it.

SPEAKER_05 1:56

So there we go. Um uh what are we saying this week there, Mr. Tube?

SPEAKER_06 2:01

Well, well, here now that we're this we're like five episodes deep into this, I can feel like episode seven's gonna be like right around the corner. The way this thing's going.

SPEAKER_05 2:10

At this rate, it's like two away.

SPEAKER_06 2:13

It's like when you get to week seven of the uh football season. Oh, can you believe it's week seven? It's already week seven. Can you believe it's episode five already? Holy crap.

SPEAKER_03 2:20

Unbelievable.

SPEAKER_06 2:22

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_05 2:23

Episode four was fun. We talked about some talked about some stuff. If you haven't watched it, or listened to it, head on back that way.

SPEAKER_06 2:31

The beauty is that with each episode, you get to ride along our journey of uh, you know, getting to know each other.

SPEAKER_05 2:39

We're all doing this together. We're all becoming friends together, slowly but surely. It's a beautiful thing. It's a mixing pot of friendship.

SPEAKER_06 2:45

It is a beautiful thing. And I would like to uh speaking of uh becoming friends, well no, I I would like to uh give a shout out to I recently reconnected with some uh some peeps from my old stomping grounds, and uh hopefully some of them are tuning in. I've gotten a lot of nice little messages and you know, folks reaching out saying, Holy shit, tube socks, we thought you died in 1991, but I did in fact not die, and here I am still kicking doing this now. And uh no, it's been fun to uh hear from you guys and uh hopefully you get you on board to watch our little show we got going on here.

SPEAKER_05 3:27

Watch the show, like, comment, subscribe, all that stuff.

SPEAKER_06 3:30

Absolutely. We'll we'll we'll hammer that point home later.

SPEAKER_05 3:33

Oh, we will get to that. It's always fun to rekindle friendships like that, eh?

SPEAKER_06 3:38

It is, it's it's neat. Well, and and the fact that I'm not a nostalgic person, and I like to uh I've really enjoyed my time kind of being, I don't know, on an island. Mysteriously unknown, but uh it's also kind of fun to reconnect.

SPEAKER_05 3:53

So it's also fun to think that they're excited that you're not dead, which is cool. That's nice because there's nothing worse than finding out, oh yeah, no, they're dead. It's like, oh well.

SPEAKER_06 4:02

Well, it's also nice that they're not saying, Oh crap, I thought you were dead. This is so disappointing.

SPEAKER_05 4:09

Yeah, I mean that would be pretty alarming if the fact that the first sentence is home you are actually alive.

SPEAKER_06 4:14

Seem to be happy that I'm not dead.

SPEAKER_05 4:16

So, anyways. I mean, I am. No, it's good. It'd be a weird show if it was what we were saying with Big Uke. Do you uh you have anything dumb this week? I mean, I don't know, it's been a weird week. Some things you know what things weren't.

SPEAKER_06 4:29

Last week I uh last week was dumb. Well, last week I just shared something that I had witnessed that was dumb, but this week I've uh I've dug into the depths of the world around us and have found something, a dumb story that involves animals again.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

I swear to God It's not monkeys, it's monkeys, and no one has escaped.

SPEAKER_06 4:52

The uh I've got a headline and a story that follows. Interesting. The headline is Wild Turkeys Declare War on Unsuspecting UPS driver in Connecticut.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

Oh my god, I I I think I saw a clip of this.

SPEAKER_06 5:05

This just happened this week, February 17th. Allow me to read. What began as a routine delivery route in Connecticut quickly devolved into a full-blown barnyard ambush when two wild turkeys decided a UPS driver was the headline act. Hindi Jaffey captured the chaos on video in Brantford, Connecticut, where the driver attempted to drop off packages while simultaneously negotiating terms with two highly motivated birds.

SPEAKER_05 5:36

I've wondered if he's dead. Never have. Oh, jeez. Anyways, turkeys.

SPEAKER_06 5:39

Uh yeah, the turkeys stalk the truck like pint-sized gobbling bouncers who absolutely did not approve of the delivery window. I this the way this is written, though, it's a little I I would not have written it this way, but I'm just It's very detailed in a way that's very undetailed. Yes. Thinking fast, the driver deploys a classic misdirection play, luring the birds to one side of the truck so he can sneak a package to the doorstep. For a glorious few seconds, it worked.

SPEAKER_03 6:08

I love it.

SPEAKER_06 6:09

Then he goes back for another box. Oh, second to the birds regroup, they advance, they close the gap.

SPEAKER_05 6:16

This is very painting a picture.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

Back up, he commands. A reasonable request that the turkeys ignore entirely, having neither respect for personal space nor unionized logistics workers.

SPEAKER_05 6:29

No respect. Unionized logistics workers get no respect.

SPEAKER_06 6:32

Right? At one point, mid-sprint, and visibly reconsidering all of his life choices, the driver shouts, Jesus Christ, I'm 40 years old. I can't be dealing with this. That's just freaking gold. That is before launching into another dash for the porch, two feathered velociraptors hot on those heels.

SPEAKER_05 6:54

Feathered velociraptors.

SPEAKER_06 6:55

According to Jeffy, the birds are longtime neighborhood agitators, notorious for blocking traffic and harassing passing vehicles. We've had neighbors like that.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

That were turkeys?

SPEAKER_06 7:06

No, that were notorious agitators blocking traffic and harassing passing vehicles. Not in the neighborhood we currently live in, because it's a very nice neighborhood. But uh when we lived in the previous neighborhood.

SPEAKER_05 7:18

It was not nice neighborhood.

SPEAKER_06 7:19

Yeah, now we know maybe we're living with turkeys. Uh but this is the first time she'd seen them escalate to pursuing a full-grown adult at full speed.

SPEAKER_05 7:30

That is so incredible.

SPEAKER_06 7:32

Um, somewhere in Connecticut, two turkeys are celebrating a decisive victory, and one UPS driver is quietly wondering if wildlife diplomacy was ever part of his job description.

SPEAKER_05 7:44

Yeah, I can't imagine there's too much of a training course for turkeys.

SPEAKER_06 7:48

How to deal with wild turkeys. And interestingly enough, is that this whole story probably would have been a lot simpler if we could just show you the clip. But that's not how we work on what were we saying.

SPEAKER_03 8:00

It's not what were we watching?

SPEAKER_06 8:01

It's not what are we showing you, it's what were we saying. So we're uh reading you with almost like stage direction on this. Almost.

SPEAKER_05 8:08

We are describing videos.

SPEAKER_06 8:10

It's much better. Paints a better picture.

SPEAKER_05 8:12

But I can't I can't say I have seen this video. You have? I did watch this yesterday. See, I have not seen the video. Oh my goodness. It knowing the video, and I mean not knowing that this was gonna be the the the dumb you're talking about, but having seen the video, that doesn't a very good job of describing this war scene. Well, that's good because also what's happening with this UPS driver.

SPEAKER_06 8:34

Most predominantly are uh fans of the show, and I will call you fans, because if you're here, there that's gotta be the reason. I would assume do watch the show, but we do have a large percentage that listens to the audio only version, so therefore we'd be doing them a disservice if we played videos. No one needs to uh be listening to a a show of people.

SPEAKER_05 9:00

Well, and because to listen, I'm thinking back now, to listen to that video, I don't think you would know what's exactly.

SPEAKER_06 9:05

And because we care about you guys, the viewers and listeners equally.

SPEAKER_05 9:10

We care about all seven of our fans.

SPEAKER_06 9:12

You know, when uh I recall one time when my kids were small, little peek behind the curtain there, Tupsox has kids.

SPEAKER_05 9:21

That he knows of colleges.

SPEAKER_06 9:22

We were at a uh a uh theme park type thing, and there were turkeys wandering the streets of this setup, and my one son had a uh cookie in his hand.

SPEAKER_04 9:34

Ah, yeah. A cookie is a known turkey cookie.

SPEAKER_06 9:38

The turkey was basically the same height as my kid, and he uh he took his cookie, and um I think my boy's gotten over it because he's resilient, but that taught him a lot that day.

SPEAKER_05 9:49

Well, you you learn a lot being chased by big birds. You do. I can't say I've ever been chased by turkeys. Geese, yes.

SPEAKER_06 9:57

Everyone knows geese. Geese is cobra chicken. It's almost too obvious.

SPEAKER_05 10:00

Like those are what feathered velociraptors? Velociraptors. A goose is a cobra chicken. That's what we've always called them. With the hiss because they sound like a snake. Absolutely. Uh yeah, I know as kids uh there was times we were involved. Oh gosh. Oh boy. Yeah. That was clumsy. That is that was very clumsy. Holy shit. Uh, anyways, uh there was times I think we were harassed by other animals along travels. But I can't recall being chased by a turkey. And like this guy was he was working to get away, because these two were they were on his ass. And it and you have to watch it after the show, you gotta go watch this video. Because not during the show, because that's not what we do.

SPEAKER_06 10:46

We don't do that. You know what? I I might I might watch that. I do find it interesting that I did all this research on it, yet I never looked up the video.

SPEAKER_05 10:52

Yeah, that is also quite strange.

SPEAKER_06 10:54

I'm funny that way. I've also apparently been dead since 1991. So what a revelation for. Once again, shout out to the peeps and the old Stomping Grounds.

SPEAKER_05 11:06

What a revelation for your peeps.

SPEAKER_06 11:08

Um Okay. Let's move on. Well, shall we move on to the uh Triple WS mailbag?

SPEAKER_05 11:15

Yeah, we can dive into the mailbag too.

SPEAKER_06 11:16

You know, we've been getting uh so many letters and cards and letters of support and lack of support, and please remove my support.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

But how do I unlike this?

SPEAKER_06 11:29

For for brevity and uh, you know, creative license, we've uh come up with a disclaimer here, so I will read our disclaimer. Our crack. Just so anyone that sends in correspondence understands. Uh the Triple WS mailbag contains real letters from real viewers and listeners. Some names, details, and punctuation may have been altered for dramatic effect, personal safety, length, clarity, grammar, excessive hostility, content, readability, emotional stability, and taste.

SPEAKER_05 12:02

So just know that some those couple items, you know, may or may not affect your messages.

SPEAKER_06 12:08

So if you do send in a letter and we read it, and you think, hmm, there's a comma there that I didn't put in the original, or they left out, well, you know what? This disclaimer is legally binding and allows us to uh alter your letter slightly to suit the show. Because when you're in a big budget production like this, you need to set your own rules.

SPEAKER_05 12:32

We thank our crack legal team for helping us with that.

SPEAKER_06 12:35

So on that note, youke, would you like to read something from the mailbag?

SPEAKER_05 12:39

I would. It starts, hi big you and tube socks, comma. And I doubt this person would have put a comma.

SPEAKER_06 12:47

You probably didn't put that damn comma in there.

SPEAKER_05 12:48

Nope, but it's there now, so you're welcome.

SPEAKER_06 12:50

We put it in there for clarification.

SPEAKER_05 12:52

We have been day one fans and enjoy the show. Smiley face emoticon.

SPEAKER_06 12:57

I really like that.

SPEAKER_05 12:58

I love a smiley face. It'd be better if it was like uh like a little heart or something.

SPEAKER_06 13:02

That would be terrible if it was our. See those frickin' figure skaters pull that off. Oh, all the time. I've been watching a lot of that. Really?

SPEAKER_05 13:08

I've every time an athlete at the Olympics has done that, I have noticed and thought, ha, I bet tube hated that. I shudder when I see that. But anyways. Anyways, uh, not a sports show.

SPEAKER_06 13:19

Uh we've we have very much do not want to be accused of being a sports show.

SPEAKER_05 13:24

We have a day one fans and enjoy the show, Smiley Face. Would love to see you talk about embarrassing stories, dot dot dot dot, or maybe the origin of your stage names. Keep saying what you're saying, smiley face, Danny and Yann.

SPEAKER_06 13:40

Okay, I've got actually a couple of things with this, if I may.

SPEAKER_05 13:43

You may. Al before he does, thank you very much for reaching out. Thank you for reaching out.

SPEAKER_06 13:48

Thank you for reaching out and you accessing the mailbag. An early adopter to uh our mailbag program. That was my best one. Um, as far as embarrassing stories goes, that's difficult for me because I don't have any stories where I am embarrassed or feel embarrassed or embarrassed myself because that's just not something that happens to me.

SPEAKER_05 14:10

Okay, well, you can pretend to be human.

SPEAKER_06 14:12

It doesn't happen. So that's I mean, I'd love to I could make one up, but it would be uh They wouldn't know. They wouldn't know, but We don't know you. I can't pretend to do something dorky or embarrassing in public when it's never happened in my life.

SPEAKER_05 14:27

So I might have to contact some of these peeps of yours and uh from the old stomping grounds. From the old stomping grounds, find out if that is indeed a factual statement. Cause I don't believe it.

SPEAKER_06 14:39

Um and the second half of that or stage name stage news. The hell's the stage name.

SPEAKER_05 14:43

My license doesn't say big yuk.

SPEAKER_06 14:46

If I had a license, it would probably say tube sucks.

SPEAKER_05 14:49

That's fair.

SPEAKER_06 14:49

I can I mean I can only imagine that that would probably be on a passport too if a fella had one.

SPEAKER_05 14:53

Yeah, mine I I will admit, mine doesn't say that.

SPEAKER_06 14:57

Interesting.

SPEAKER_05 14:57

So I don't know if this is a good one.

SPEAKER_06 14:59

So so whomever who's this? Uh Danny and Danny and Yan. Being a little presumptive about uh our names not being uh illegit.

SPEAKER_05 15:10

I'm very honest, but it's not my name. I have other legal forms of namification.

SPEAKER_06 15:16

It's like I don't even know you. We've got a lot to learn about each other.

SPEAKER_05 15:19

That's why we're doing this, right? That's if we were friends, you would know.

SPEAKER_06 15:23

It's not a journey of self-discovery, it's a journey of group discovery.

SPEAKER_05 15:27

You know, there's other groups that do that same type of thing, but very different.

SPEAKER_06 15:32

Okay, well I've got uh they use pineapples. I don't like where that's going to be. No.

SPEAKER_05 15:37

Oh, okay. Maybe next time.

SPEAKER_06 15:39

There's that place beside the EST studios that I've heard about this place is from some people. I've heard I've been there one night when like at EST.

SPEAKER_03 15:46

Oh, I've never I've oh I've never been there any night.

SPEAKER_06 15:49

And heard the bumping party going on next door. Anyways. Definitely bumping. Uh bumping something. Anyways, letter number two. Good day, Big Uke, and Tube Socks. Oh, hey. Comma, which may or may not have been in the original letter.

SPEAKER_05 16:01

We can neither confirm nor deny the originality of that comma.

SPEAKER_06 16:04

I have been listening frequently due to the enjoyable banter between the both of you.

SPEAKER_03 16:09

That's the whole point.

SPEAKER_06 16:10

That's the whole point. Thanks for understanding. But as I re-listen over and over again, it has started to get predictably predictable.

SPEAKER_05 16:18

Well, but if you're re-listening, you should probably know what we're gonna say that episode.

SPEAKER_06 16:22

You would think I I would say it'd be predictably comforting.

SPEAKER_05 16:27

I would think so.

SPEAKER_06 16:28

Um anyways. To finish this off, to counteract this, I've started to listen to episodes backwards. However, I find them hard to understand. That is all Chris. Speaking of made-up names, Chris sounds pretty freaking made up. Tube socks, legit Chris.

SPEAKER_05 16:50

His stage name is probably Chris, and we probably all know him by a different name.

SPEAKER_06 16:54

Which is an amazing stage name to have as far as stage names go.

SPEAKER_05 16:58

You know.

SPEAKER_06 17:00

You got Sade, you got Sting, you got Chris.

SPEAKER_05 17:04

I think they all go one and the same. But so listening backwards.

SPEAKER_06 17:08

Although I will say that of those three names, I just I very much detest two of the three names.

SPEAKER_05 17:14

And the one you and it's not Chris that you detest.

SPEAKER_06 17:17

Well, I don't detest Chris because he supports the show. Thanks, Chris. Sade and Sting can go fuck off.

SPEAKER_05 17:23

They can, you know, go away.

SPEAKER_06 17:26

Anyways.

SPEAKER_05 17:27

Anyways, back to what the actual letter was. Yes. Listen backwards now. Backwards. So now we'll you know what? We might have to slip in uh some secret messages. Secret messages.

SPEAKER_06 17:39

Only Chris. Oh my god. I knew it was feed your dog. Oh my goodness. There are some things we could see. You gotta start to work with there. And if nothing else, we'll get other people to start listening backwards to see if there's hidden messages.

SPEAKER_05 17:53

Do you think that takes a view away when you do it in reverse? Like when you rewind a DVD?

SPEAKER_06 17:58

Like when you're trying to roll back the mileage on the first Bueller's. I also said rewind a DVD. Yeah. That's interesting.

SPEAKER_05 18:04

Hey, well, if back to episode one, stupid inventions. You know what? DVD reminder.

SPEAKER_06 18:09

We're already putting together a clip show of our first, you know, our first four episode.

SPEAKER_05 18:13

It's only been four episodes, but so much has happened. Wow. Well, four and a half if you count that little Edgar screw up.

SPEAKER_06 18:20

That you know, that's still problematic.

SPEAKER_05 18:22

I and that's that's two now. He's kind of gotten us. At least this time, I'd rather it start recording early than uh than get halfway through things.

SPEAKER_06 18:33

I think Edgar's problem is that he doesn't drink enough.

unknown 18:35

We can drink.

SPEAKER_05 18:37

I think he does some other things too much. Yeah, I'm smelling it.

SPEAKER_06 18:39

I don't like it, I don't approve. Straight edge. Speaking of Edgar, shall we get into some uh some fun facts? If you guys follow the show, you know that Edgar's struggled and been sporadic with his fun facts.

SPEAKER_05 18:53

He's he's really been trying, but I don't think he's been trying all that hard.

SPEAKER_06 18:57

So we, you know, gave him a timeout for one week and then we cut him down to two, and he's coming back with two again.

SPEAKER_05 19:03

Two again, I think is a good I think for the you know foreseeable future, um two will be good. Uh and Edgar, if you have, if you need help, ask the audience for some help. They can hit the mailbag up.

SPEAKER_06 19:19

You know, feel free to throw some fun facts for Edgar.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

Facts are hard to find out.

SPEAKER_06 19:23

When we bring that address up later, we'll remind you again. Send Edwards. Okay, so you're gonna read uh you're gonna read a liner or should I read that liner?

SPEAKER_05 19:32

You know what? I will read.

SPEAKER_06 19:33

Why don't you read that liner for it? I will read this liner because we got a new sponsor.

SPEAKER_05 19:36

I am very excited for these.

SPEAKER_06 19:38

Well, it's and it's it's a it's a tech sponsor, so that's neat.

SPEAKER_05 19:40

You know, it in this age, we are not just typewriter companies and carbon paper.

SPEAKER_06 19:49

We're on the cutting edge.

SPEAKER_05 19:50

We hip with it. See him? We just crest-crossed his legs. Right now, only the hip with the biggest. He can do almost anything. I can't do that, but some people can. Anyways, this uh newspaper.

SPEAKER_06 19:59

I'm gonna do full crisscross applesauce soon.

SPEAKER_05 20:04

I will I will not be. Uh the second opinion parking app.

SPEAKER_06 20:08

Wow, that sounds amazing. An app.

SPEAKER_05 20:11

They sponsor the show. It's just truly incredible.

SPEAKER_06 20:14

What do they do?

SPEAKER_05 20:15

Excuse me. Well, it's what they do here is is unlike any parking app you've ever used before, which does not just get you all excited. Everyone loves this uh second opinion parking app, it does not find you a parking space, but once you have parked somewhere, it tells you where you could have parked that was closer to where you were going.

SPEAKER_06 20:35

Well, that's amazing.

SPEAKER_05 20:37

It's always fun to learn things, as in learn what could have been for next time.

SPEAKER_06 20:41

It's nice that it riles you up before you get to your event.

SPEAKER_05 20:43

Well, just gets it gets a guy, it gets some juices flowing.

SPEAKER_06 20:47

You're like, okay, we found a spot. Slug in. Okay, we're out.

SPEAKER_05 20:50

The app geolocate.

SPEAKER_06 20:51

Oh. Looks like we could have parked three blocks closer. Huh.

SPEAKER_05 20:56

I think it's good information for future.

SPEAKER_06 20:58

Well, thanks, Second Opinion Parking app. I wouldn't have known that had I not.

SPEAKER_05 21:02

And they are available in many, many metro, major metropolitan areas and a few rural ones. Which is exciting for rural parking.

SPEAKER_06 21:10

I'm always looking for rural parking.

SPEAKER_05 21:11

It's always very difficult to find rural parking.

SPEAKER_06 21:14

Could I have gotten closer to that grain elevator? I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_05 21:17

I don't know. Maybe that's the only way we're trying to go.

SPEAKER_06 21:20

By that PV Mart? Oh. Park in the PV Mart spot. PV Mart. I guess I'll find out later if there was a better stuff. December 2023. Legit? Legit?

SPEAKER_05 21:30

That is oddly specific.

SPEAKER_06 21:32

Buying stocking stuffers for my father-in-law.

SPEAKER_05 21:34

Huh.

SPEAKER_06 21:35

And then it closed.

SPEAKER_05 21:37

I was gonna say that's probably the one near Sunny Downtown.

SPEAKER_06 21:40

It was on the way to Sunny Downtown.

SPEAKER_05 21:42

That closed and is now a furniture's. It's a used mattress store. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:47

Um That's really nice.

SPEAKER_05 21:50

Anyway. Alright, so fun facts number one. We got a couple of fun facts. We got two from Mr. Edgar. I do have two. That guy. That guy. That dare guy there. Octopuses have three hearts, but two of them stop beating when they swim. Two hearts pump blood to the gills and one pumps it to the rest of the body, but when they swim, the heart that serves the body actually pauses, which is why octopuses prefer crawling along the ocean floor instead of swimming. It literally exhausts them.

SPEAKER_06 22:21

I've never heard that before.

SPEAKER_05 22:23

I've heard the first part of it, but never the extra info.

SPEAKER_06 22:26

That is fun, and that uh good job, Edgar.

SPEAKER_05 22:30

I am proud of you, Edgar.

SPEAKER_06 22:32

It's kind of like that uh in the B movie. When the chick says to Barry God, what's a fate movie? Why don't you fly? Why why do you fly? Why don't you fly? Why don't you run everywhere? It's exhausting.

SPEAKER_05 22:47

I did not expect, I did not have the B movie on my bingo card.

SPEAKER_06 22:52

That's a great movie.

SPEAKER_05 22:52

Especially coming from this guy. Well, that chalk's a one I can't give him now.

SPEAKER_06 22:56

I have kids, you know. I want I there was a time.

SPEAKER_05 22:59

You like jazz.

SPEAKER_06 23:01

When he's trying to get in that cellophane, this time. This time, this time. That's a great scene.

SPEAKER_05 23:06

It is truly an incredible movie. Huh.

SPEAKER_06 23:10

Not at all bleak.

SPEAKER_05 23:12

No, no, not at all. One of the stupidest things is that the one that's watched with my kids. That's good.

SPEAKER_06 23:17

No, because that off the list. You got another. Anyways. You got another uh fun fact number two here.

SPEAKER_05 23:24

Let's go ahead and come up to them too. The plastic tips on shoelaces are called egglets. They exist solely to stop your laces from fraying and to make them easier to thread through the eyelets of your feet.

SPEAKER_06 23:38

I mean, not a great fact, but it's it's a fact. I knew that was. It's not like firefighter helmets and other crappies.

SPEAKER_05 23:45

No, because firefighter helmets, that whole thing, man, like things can still hit them on the head.

SPEAKER_06 23:49

And I honestly didn't know they were called egglets.

SPEAKER_05 23:53

See, I I did, and I've known this actually for quite a long time. Because there was a show that people who who know, they know what show I'm talking about. They had a little musical act.

SPEAKER_06 24:05

Was it a show about like the heavy to the aglets?

SPEAKER_05 24:08

No, no, it had nothing to do with shoelaces, but this episode did. Okay. It was Phineas and Ferb.

SPEAKER_06 24:13

Never seen it.

SPEAKER_05 24:14

Well, I think they have a movie. Um they did a a concert in the ep one episode. It was about two kids that just get on all wax of mini adventures. Ah, yeah, that checks out. Um, but they did a show about how they were called egglets. All right. And uh it's one of those things that's stuck with me forever.

SPEAKER_06 24:32

There's few things more annoying than uh when you lose your egglet and you've got to get a little bit of tape over. I mean it's just not the same.

SPEAKER_05 24:40

It's not the same because the tape, you never put it in the right spot. So there's just excess.

SPEAKER_06 24:45

Or if you don't have tape, you're always just doing a little dip thing, and that's more frustrating than painting.

SPEAKER_05 24:51

The old flat your tires spit and twirl. Yeah. Because that again is only fun with the pineapple people.

SPEAKER_06 24:58

Out.

SPEAKER_05 24:58

You know what, Edgar? I think uh I think it was decent. It was decent. I that is probably your best showing so far.

SPEAKER_06 25:05

Right? It was I'd say that's a two for two.

SPEAKER_05 25:07

Right? Um the first one was a bit long. Facts are supposed to be quick. It's like a quick fun fact, it's supposed to be quick. So you work on your brevity.

SPEAKER_06 25:16

We're going uh we're going uh a bunch of stuff next, which I have a liner for. Another new sponsor.

SPEAKER_05 25:23

Oh, yeah, that thing I did.

SPEAKER_06 25:25

Yes. All right.

SPEAKER_05 25:26

I'm very excited to have these people on board.

SPEAKER_06 25:28

Well, you know, I'm excited to have anyone on board. Well, that too. Which also includes, again, the peeps from the old uh the old stomping grounds that are uh on board.

SPEAKER_05 25:36

We're very excited to have you guys on board for the show, ideally, hopefully.

SPEAKER_06 25:40

Alright. Uh only pierogis. Pierogi. Uh boasting a menu that really leans into pierogis. It's right there in the name. Uh no uh cubisa, no sour cream, no chives, no bacon bits, no butter. Only pierogis.

SPEAKER_05 25:57

Oh. I mean, I guess. Like so I don't know if they're boiled or fried, but they're just I would hope you would have at least the two options of that, because they're both still only pierogis.

SPEAKER_06 26:07

Right. Uh they also they're located also uh in the three-door mall at the food court. Now, this is peculiar though, two stalls down from the loaded pierogi. Which I think I'm taking my pierogi money to the loaded, although I won't say that because loaded pierogies is no free ads. So yeah, I like my pierogies dry and with uh nothing accompanying them, no oil, no butter, no bacon bits, no chives, no sour cream, no cubisha.

SPEAKER_05 26:37

I don't imagine we'll hear from the old only pierogies next week.

SPEAKER_06 26:40

I think they're uh it's a one and done. But thanks for your thanks for your time and for your current week of sponsorship. Yes, no, that's that's nice. But thanks for coming on board. All right.

SPEAKER_05 26:51

Well, I don't know if that's necessarily a great uh business plan. That's a bad model for a I get doing like one thing and doing that one thing really well. When that one thing doesn't have slight options.

SPEAKER_06 27:02

We're really leaning into pierogies. Hey, you like pierogies? Well that's all we got.

SPEAKER_05 27:05

So when the pierogies thing doesn't work, what what what do you think they could also like? What only like you can't say only pizza.

SPEAKER_06 27:11

Only dumplings.

SPEAKER_05 27:12

Only dumplings.

SPEAKER_06 27:13

Maybe dumplings is their next.

SPEAKER_05 27:15

But there's so many I guess there's different yeah.

SPEAKER_06 27:18

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 27:19

It feels like probably be better off.

SPEAKER_06 27:21

Well, I guess we'll see how they grow. Well, we'll see what happens next time. They will either thrive.

SPEAKER_05 27:25

Whether they're here is a different name. Or they're just gone.

SPEAKER_06 27:29

We haven't heard the last of them, I think. They'll be they'll re-emerge as something else. Okay, youkes uh big bunch of stuff.

SPEAKER_05 27:36

Big Ukes bunch oh stuff. Episode five, version three, I think. I think this is my third lesson. Yes, it is. So we had my inventions, that would dumb. Olympics. Do you remember the number one dumb invention?

SPEAKER_06 27:51

It was Oh, damn it.

SPEAKER_05 27:55

Maybe you hint it was a French guy.

SPEAKER_06 27:57

Oh, the parachute thing. The parachute code. And I came across the video of that.

SPEAKER_05 28:01

You did.

SPEAKER_06 28:01

And I was And it just happened to come through my it's like our phones are listening.

SPEAKER_05 28:05

The algorithm.

SPEAKER_06 28:06

We even keep our phones offset so that the phones don't listen to our show and steal it.

SPEAKER_05 28:11

Although they should listen to the show, give us views.

SPEAKER_06 28:13

Although I think that our show, our phones were listening and stealing because on the EST thing today, there was like three ideas off of your Olympic list. You know, I did notice that I was uh So maybe we need to keep our phones outside in the parkade while we're filming the show.

SPEAKER_04 28:30

Potentially.

SPEAKER_06 28:32

Anyways. Anyways. Big Ukes. To stop meandering as someone says.

SPEAKER_05 28:37

I am Big Uke, and this is my bunch of stuff.

SPEAKER_06 28:40

Uh what are you uh what's your bunch of stuff today?

SPEAKER_05 28:43

Bunch of stuff today is the top ten poolside beverage. Alright.

SPEAKER_06 28:48

Is there a reason for this?

SPEAKER_05 28:49

Well, you know, we're in the we're in the uh the thick of it when it comes to the the the to the snowy stuff, even though it remains sunny downtown, the snow is elsewhere, and I've decided I've had enough for a bit. I am I am going to be jet setting away.

SPEAKER_06 29:06

So the next time you after this episode, the next uh episode that you see, when you're watching that episode, this man will actually be out of country. Still on the continent.

SPEAKER_05 29:19

Still on the continent, out of country, probably indulging in a few of these these uh well these beveraginos as well.

SPEAKER_06 29:26

So there will be, just in case you're instantly panicking, and especially all you people that are just tuning into the first show, going, holy crap, we love this show, what's going on? Now there's not gonna be a show next week.

SPEAKER_05 29:36

Don't worry. We're professionals.

SPEAKER_06 29:39

We're sliding in our extra special show. It's just going to air in the regular time, but when it airs, it will be extra special. Poor Big Uke will have to be watching it through his cell phone signal eSIM card by the pool.

SPEAKER_05 29:56

It's gonna be tough, but I'll I'll manage anyways. Anyways, let's get to your downstairs to the actual list. All right. Big Uke's bunch O stuff. Number 10. I feel so I had to put this on the list. Water. It's always a good idea to have some water. Tap water. Not tap water. Specifically not tap water from this place.

SPEAKER_06 30:14

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 30:14

But a good bottled water just because hydration is key. I felt I felt 10 was a good spot for that. Number nine.

SPEAKER_06 30:22

Mixin' of water, as they say.

SPEAKER_05 30:23

Mixin' of water.

SPEAKER_06 30:24

That's what the coach always says.

SPEAKER_05 30:26

Right? And now we'll get into stuff that's not water. Uh, number nine, a pina colada. Oh, drink to that!

SPEAKER_06 30:33

You know what? I'm uh I'm not against it. You know, it's it's not a very bleak beverage. See, and I'm not a huge pina colada fan. I don't mind, I'm not above mixing something like that in the right time. I mean, I'm not gonna be sliding in to watch Odds Against Tomorrow and fix myself a pina colada. That'd be odd. It would be odd. But uh, but no, that's that's a good beverage. It's quality beverage.

SPEAKER_05 30:57

I think all these are quality. Number eight, a mojito. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 31:01

Ernest Hemingway's drink of choice.

SPEAKER_05 31:03

That's exactly why it's on the list.

SPEAKER_06 31:05

It is actually uh in our home, which is about a 20-minute drive from Blender Works Studios. Uh Mrs. Tube Sox insists on us planting in our uh herb garden area that we specifically had a big urn of uh mint plant, which she refers to as the mojito plant.

SPEAKER_05 31:24

The mojito plant.

SPEAKER_06 31:25

It is the summer mojito plant. Right. So we can always muddle ourselves up some mint and so you probably would put this higher on the list. Yeah, well, I I yeah, I really do enjoy mojito. Because not only is it tasty and summery, but it's also manly, which is very important to me as a man.

SPEAKER_05 31:42

Fair. It's called a manhito. Number seven, my tie.

SPEAKER_06 31:51

It's also good. I mean, I'm not gonna be. See, I'm not a big uh a big rum guy. I mean, I do like rum and I respect rum, but it's not my go-to. But uh I enjoy anything in a in a tiki realm.

SPEAKER_05 32:03

Right? And I think like if when I think of Mai Thai, I think of a tiki head cup. Yes. With a little umbrella, swirly straw and a chunk of pineapple.

SPEAKER_06 32:13

A nice, nice Polynesian setup.

SPEAKER_05 32:16

Right? I think that just makes everything more funner.

SPEAKER_06 32:20

Need more Polynesian cocktail bars.

SPEAKER_05 32:22

Right. Maybe we'll start one once we get a sponsor. Number six. What were we drinking? What were we drinking? Oh, hey. There we go. Okay, we got something there. Uh the phone's not listening. No, I hope not. Stop it. Edgar, turn your phone off. Uh anyway, number six, a classic margarita. I'll drink to that.

SPEAKER_06 32:41

Uh I like a margarita as long as it's not blended.

SPEAKER_05 32:44

Oh, see, I am I'm definitely on board on the blended side. All of these could be blended, and I would enjoy them.

SPEAKER_06 32:51

I like a uh like a regular, you know. Just on the rocks. On the rocks.

SPEAKER_05 32:55

So you just like are you just always gonna be tequila?

SPEAKER_06 32:58

Well, see, I don't really like tequila on its own, but I do like tequila in a well-made margarita, like a good quality tequila in a you know, like not I don't like a slushy margarita.

SPEAKER_05 33:07

Not just like here's a splash of lime and here's some cheap tequila.

SPEAKER_06 33:10

Yeah, no, it's like I I definitely have time for good tequila, shaken, strained.

SPEAKER_05 33:16

That's fair.

SPEAKER_06 33:17

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 33:17

It's very fair. That's kind of exactly where I was going to. It's gotta be good tequila. It can't be a cheap drink. If you're gonna make it, make it right. Yes. And I I'm okay if it's blended.

SPEAKER_06 33:27

I uh I worked years ago back when shortly after I, you know, lost touch with my old crew from my old stomping grounds. Um, and I honestly can't believe the slop tequila that we served behind our bar and that people thought was actually premium. Yeah, it's bizarre. Anyways.

SPEAKER_05 33:45

Anyways. Yeah, Mark, and again This isn't about me. It's not your list. But again, like I'm not a huge tequila guy in general, so that's why it's number six, kind of in the midpoint. Number five, this is where I I this is my I will be getting into plenty of these in a couple weeks' time, a week's time. Number five, I'm just going with like a good ice cold beer. Alright. Everyone loves a cerveza. Love or cerveza. Dos cervasas por forver, as some would say.

SPEAKER_06 34:16

And plow through a lot of souls and uh modellos.

SPEAKER_05 34:20

I think it'll be a bad day, bad week to be a modello, if you ask me. Uh and now we get to the fun ones, I think. Number four, a blue Hawaiian.

SPEAKER_06 34:31

That uh instantly does not uh nothing comes to mind.

SPEAKER_05 34:34

Really? Yeah. So it's blue carousel is the main the blue part. Ironically rum drink.

SPEAKER_06 34:40

Oh, ironically, blue carousel is an orange liqueur.

SPEAKER_05 34:42

It is an orange liqueur, but it's color blue. Yes. That's why we get the blue Hawaiian.

SPEAKER_06 34:46

Yeah, okay. And then there's rum and citrus and I don't think I've ever had one, but I uh have no trouble with any tropical drinks because it's fun.

SPEAKER_05 34:55

It's just fun.

SPEAKER_06 34:55

Like sometimes it's just nice to loosen up your work shirt and uh kick off your Chuck Taylors and uh have a blue Hawaiian. Have a blue Hawaiian. I can get behind that.

SPEAKER_05 35:04

Number three is one of my personal favorites. A Long Island ice.

SPEAKER_07 35:09

Yeah, boy.

SPEAKER_05 35:11

Yeah. You get a little bit you get a little bit of everything. You know, you get a little bit more. You do.

SPEAKER_06 35:15

There's there's about seven kind of things in there mixed together.

SPEAKER_05 35:19

You get a little bit of everything. You can't have too too many of those.

SPEAKER_06 35:22

I probably haven't had one since 1996, but uh yeah. You know, again, if I'm sitting poolside, absolutely I could support that.

SPEAKER_05 35:31

I love a Long Island. And for those who know, they know.

SPEAKER_06 35:35

Number two. It's pretty high in the list, though.

SPEAKER_05 35:37

Uh Long Island? Yeah. I love a Long Island. That's what's number three.

SPEAKER_06 35:39

Okay. I guess it's your list, not mine.

SPEAKER_05 35:41

Yeah. It's not Big Uke's top ten drinks that he thinks Tube socks would be pull.

SPEAKER_06 35:46

He filtered through Tube socks to approve the rankings.

SPEAKER_05 35:48

It's not what it works. Number two, a classic, a cuba libra.

SPEAKER_06 35:55

Again, it's very easy to make a cuba libra just a rum and coke.

SPEAKER_05 35:58

It's just a rum and coke, but when you're in the tropical environment, it's way more fun to say cuba libre.

SPEAKER_06 36:04

I'd I'd throw that back down near the bottom. Oh no. Because I don't like cola.

SPEAKER_05 36:08

Ah, see that, yeah, it's a very cola. This is my only cola heavy beverage. Well, Long Island has cola.

SPEAKER_06 36:16

Okay. Yes. But anyways.

SPEAKER_05 36:20

I was thinking a cuba libre, but like, and then if possible, some lime slush. Instead of just the lime.

SPEAKER_06 36:28

See, I don't know about that. Well, I never tried it, so I can't comment on it.

SPEAKER_05 36:32

That's why you don't know. I've also never sung a cappella, so But you're huge a cappella head now.

SPEAKER_06 36:40

And where are we at now on the list?

SPEAKER_05 36:41

That was number two. I've got an honorable mention here. Oh, okay. Uh this might be a bit odd, and it's more that it just there it's a great drink. I hope it's not a hot toddy. You know what? That was on the list, but I took it off. Okay. It is kind of the exact opposite of a hot toddy. It's a drink that I love just in general. A cold Johnny. You're right. Now, what do you think that is? I have no idea. Exactly. It's not real. I made that up. Otto mentioned a frozen espresso martini.

SPEAKER_06 37:10

Well, you do like your espresso martinis.

SPEAKER_05 37:12

Ah, I'm a sucker for an espresso tini. Yeah? And in a hot day, just having that would be odd. But you you slush it up and it's basically like an adult ice cap.

SPEAKER_06 37:20

My kid makes a pretty wicked uh espresso martini.

SPEAKER_05 37:23

I mean, he makes pretty wicked everything, but um and that's why it's on the honorable mentions because I I the pool vibe, it might be off, but on a hot day So it's like an ice cap kind of thing. It's basically like an adult ice cap.

SPEAKER_06 37:34

I would put that way above uh the Kuba Libra, and I would actually put that on the list. Wow. There we go. Because it keeps you up so you can keep drinking.

SPEAKER_05 37:42

That's the whole point. I appreciate that. And number one on big.

SPEAKER_06 37:47

Sorry, I just wanted to be not drinking while you're right now. Number one.

SPEAKER_05 37:49

Well, hey, no, that's fair. Number one on Big Uke's bunch of stuff. Best pool side beverages. A strawberry daiquiri.

SPEAKER_06 38:03

I don't think I've ever had one.

SPEAKER_03 38:05

What?

SPEAKER_05 38:07

Oh my goodness. I've never I've made it this far in life without having a strawberry daiquiri.

SPEAKER_06 38:12

Probably because the strawberries would not have uh because I don't really like fruit.

SPEAKER_05 38:17

Well, I mean, it checks out.

SPEAKER_06 38:19

It's just a little sweet like in my drinks like that.

SPEAKER_05 38:21

Weird. Fruit is sweet.

SPEAKER_06 38:24

Yeah, no, but you know.

SPEAKER_05 38:26

Oh, like a strawberry daiquiri, and it it's like Oh, they're very I mean, maybe I just haven't had a good one. Potentially. And I think the best part about a strawberry daiquiri, uh uh aside from it being delicious, is it gets you going early in a day. You know? Here you you have a night out and you're like, ah, you're a little groggy. So you have a Caesar or like a beer and OJ.

SPEAKER_06 38:49

I would never have a Caesar, by the way.

SPEAKER_05 38:50

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_06 38:52

I don't I don't drink clam juice.

SPEAKER_05 38:55

I mean, that's fair. I it I you don't need to like clamato to have a Caesar. It's just good.

SPEAKER_06 39:00

Well, you kind of do because there's a lot of clam in it.

SPEAKER_05 39:03

It's more for you just get through it when you're hungover. And that's what a strawberry daiquiri does when you're down south.

SPEAKER_06 39:08

I I like daiquiries.

SPEAKER_05 39:10

We're learning so much about him together.

SPEAKER_06 39:11

Right? It's is it's just a it's a journey. But but the strawberry, that would the strawberry would be on my least uh if you gave me like five daiquiri options, strawberry would be at the bottom.

SPEAKER_05 39:22

A daiquiri does have plenty of.

SPEAKER_06 39:23

I would go with banana just because I crave potassium.

SPEAKER_05 39:26

It's gonna say banana. You're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_06 39:27

But it has to be like it has to be like proper banana, not like banana syrup garbage that you get it.

SPEAKER_05 39:33

Real potassium, like straight from the tree.

SPEAKER_06 39:35

Yeah, like give me like yeah.

SPEAKER_05 39:36

You can just guys back to the whole you always bring up monkey things. Huh.

SPEAKER_06 39:42

He brought up monkeys this time.

SPEAKER_05 39:43

Actually, he brought it up earlier if we if we rewind it.

SPEAKER_06 39:46

But I I I love a daiquiri, but strawberry daiquiri is not uh in my wheelhouse.

SPEAKER_05 39:50

Well, it's my list, it's my number one, so there's that.

SPEAKER_06 39:53

And but uh that's that's a solid list, you know. It makes it I want to go drinking.

SPEAKER_05 39:58

I can't wait.

unknown 39:59

I can't wait.

SPEAKER_05 40:01

It's been so long since I've been on a beach.

SPEAKER_06 40:06

Also, very long since I've been on a beach.

SPEAKER_05 40:10

Beaches are fun. I'm not a beach guy. You know what? That doesn't overly shock me. From what I've gathered to get to know you over the last six weeks.

SPEAKER_06 40:19

I'm not a uh I'm not a lot of things gay. But the things he's so incredibly fun to be around.

SPEAKER_05 40:26

And that's kind of the weird thing, is the things he does like, he really likes.

SPEAKER_06 40:31

I really lean into him like the uh like the pierogi. Only pierogies.

SPEAKER_05 40:34

Only pierogi. It's just you find your your shtick and you sh stick with it. Goodness. Oh, I crack myself up sometimes. We should probably move on.

SPEAKER_06 40:45

Good list though. Nice list.

SPEAKER_05 40:47

Right? I'm I was proud of that. I can I can see you and I will I will be indulging and uh maybe have to snap a few picks for the socials of each one of those if I can see if I can cross off all ten. I doubt I'll get to the water.

SPEAKER_06 41:02

Yeah, the water's gonna well the few waters on the old bed n uh bedside stand. Yeah, probably a good idea. The nightstand, whatever you hell you call that thing. I don't know what they call it in Mexico, they probably call it Los Nightstand.

SPEAKER_05 41:15

Los table between bed.

SPEAKER_06 41:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 41:17

Yeah, I'll try.

SPEAKER_06 41:19

It's exciting. I'm excited for this man.

SPEAKER_05 41:21

I'm excited for this man as well.

SPEAKER_06 41:22

Although not envious because it's not something I would like to be doing myself. So there's no envious. Maybe one day we do it. But I'm happy for you to be doing that because it's something you enjoy. It is. And as we continue our friendship journey, I'm supporting him on this. Even though it really messes up our recording schedule and yeah, I'm really putting a wrench into it, but we really got a cram.

SPEAKER_05 41:45

I booked the show, but I booked the trip before we were approached, okay?

SPEAKER_06 41:48

Anyways. Okay. Where are we going next?

SPEAKER_05 41:52

I think I have one more letter. You have one more letter.

SPEAKER_06 41:56

I also have one more letter. Let's go to the letters. Okay. Okay, this is this is uh geez, this one's a two-carter.

SPEAKER_05 42:05

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_06 42:06

Dear Triple WS. That's us. I need to formally commend Big Yuke for forcing TubeSocks to watch Pitch Perfect.

SPEAKER_05 42:13

I did. And you love it.

SPEAKER_06 42:16

Some friendships drift, some co-host dynamics fracture, but true brotherhood is looking a man in the eye and saying, You're watching an a cappella competition movie tonight, whether you like it or not.

SPEAKER_03 42:27

Never thought of it like that.

SPEAKER_06 42:28

That's a strongly worded letter. This was not bullying, this was an intervention. The fact that Tube Sox tried to dismiss it beforehand only made his eventual reluctant respect that much sweeter. You could hear the walls coming down in real time. This I don't holy frick.

SPEAKER_03 42:45

I'm loving whoever wrote this.

SPEAKER_06 42:47

And on to card two. And frankly, any film that gifts us the presence of Anna Kendrick performing cups deserves cultural due process.

SPEAKER_05 42:55

Yes, please.

SPEAKER_06 42:56

Big Euke stood firm. He held the line, he believed in the bellas when Tube Sox would not.

SPEAKER_05 43:02

You better I could believe it.

SPEAKER_06 43:04

More forced viewings, please. I'd like to nominate something wildly outside of Tube Sox's comfort zone next. Standing with Yuke, James, in brackets, never Jimmy.

SPEAKER_05 43:15

Thank you, James, never Jimmy. James, never Jimmy.

SPEAKER_06 43:18

That's uh that's a well-worded uh interesting because after I watched said movie, or we discussed said movie, when we were out and about in some sort of one of our many highfalutin social functions which are highfalutants now that we're you know influencing the world. Uh someone did mention Anna Kendrick, and they seemed quite aghast that I didn't know who the hell they were talking about.

SPEAKER_05 43:42

Yeah, but now you do. How about that cup song, eh? Why did I take him along with nope I I don't even I don't know the song.

SPEAKER_06 43:50

I didn't know.

SPEAKER_05 43:50

You blacked out during that part because it was so exciting.

SPEAKER_06 43:53

She's fine, but she was unremarkable, but you didn't want to punch her in the face. Anyways. So that's you know what? I gotta say that the quality of the correspondence that we're getting now that we're uh five episodes in is uh it's it it's really stepping up.

SPEAKER_05 44:11

Quality's increasing and we appreciate it. Keep sending them.

SPEAKER_06 44:14

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 44:15

And definitely send in suggestions that you think he would love to watch. I mean, I got plenty, but I want to know what you guys want to watch him to watch.

SPEAKER_03 44:22

Really gets the audience involved, you know, like you're here with us.

SPEAKER_05 44:25

You can force him to watch something too through me. I think that'll be great. Um speaking of that movie, we've each done one now. I've enjoyed it. I think it's been fun, even though the movies are. It has been fun. We will be getting back to that in a couple episodes. We'll be we'll be getting back to that.

SPEAKER_06 44:42

But on account of you's sabbatical, he's taking.

SPEAKER_05 44:44

That kind of threw a wrench in it. We didn't want to.

SPEAKER_06 44:46

We're not assigning one this week.

SPEAKER_05 44:48

But next week.

SPEAKER_06 44:49

We'll get back to that. We'll get back to that. Because it's fun.

SPEAKER_05 44:52

I think it's enjoyable.

SPEAKER_06 44:54

It is enjoyable. Anyways, I've got another one. Judging from some feedback we've gotten, people seem to like the segment, so. Right. And I'm not gonna uh mess with the people.

SPEAKER_05 45:01

Nope. The people are what the people are.

SPEAKER_06 45:03

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 45:04

Anyways, I've got one here. A quick one, only a one pager. Gentlemen, I have tried to remain calm about this. I really have. But TubeSock's open dismissal of reggae music cannot go unanswered.

SPEAKER_06 45:17

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 45:18

Reggae is not just three chords and vibes. It is culture, it is history, it is a rhythm. It is the sonic equivalent of a slow exhale. When Bob Marley sings, time itself loosens its collar. I demand a formal reggae reconsideration segment. I want Tombsocks to sit in a dimly lit room, listen to one love, and confront whatever inner tension is preventing joy. Respectfully furious, Gavin. That's a very that's a that's definitely a name of a guy who I think would write this. Well, it's a very Rastafarian name, so maybe that's why he Gavin hates your hatred of reggae. I uh honestly like I'm getting agitated just listening to that. Since you did say how much you hated it, that's not the first person who I've heard from who did not love that you didn't like it.

SPEAKER_06 46:09

It's the worst. It's not. It's worse than some other things that I dislike musically that may show up on a list. But I don't want to, you know, give away the whole plot.

SPEAKER_05 46:19

Yeah, you really double stabbed last week with the reggae and ranch dressing.

SPEAKER_06 46:25

Well, that leads us right into three things that can kick rocks.

SPEAKER_05 46:28

Thank you for your your message though, Gavin. We do appreciate it.

SPEAKER_06 46:31

You rastaferian loving just stop going. Anyways. Okay, three things that can kick rocks.

SPEAKER_05 46:40

Truly my favorite segment of the week.

SPEAKER_06 46:42

Number one, constant hydration. What the hell's with the people with the water bottles now? Come on. All my all my given life, I never once saw my dad take a sip of water and he lived till his 80s. It's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_05 46:59

He got me so excited here.

SPEAKER_06 47:01

Number two, graffiti on anything other than train cars.

SPEAKER_05 47:06

You know, I'll give you that. It just makes sense on a train car.

SPEAKER_06 47:09

Anywhere else is just I enjoy it on a train car, actually. But then a new thing gets built and there's a graffiti on it, it's like, fuck off. Don't come on. Speaking of that, you also have to live in this damn town, and I gotta look at that now.

SPEAKER_05 47:22

I just read an article that they had to pause construction on the Buffalo Bills new stadium because there was graffiti found in some uh restricted areas. It's bullshit. So they had to shut down construction to find the culprit.

SPEAKER_06 47:32

The people that do the graffiti.

SPEAKER_05 47:33

If that was a train, it'd no big deal.

SPEAKER_06 47:36

Like, why do they have no civic pride?

SPEAKER_05 47:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 47:39

And I mean, it's not an old guy thing because I had civic pride when I was like a young guy. Just who wants to look at that every day? It's bullshit. Anyway. And the third thing that can kick rocks, lawn signs.

SPEAKER_03 47:53

Like any type of lawn signs?

SPEAKER_06 47:55

Any type of lawn signs.

SPEAKER_03 47:57

Only election signs.

SPEAKER_06 47:58

Election signs, causes. I support the whatever. Shut up. I don't need to know that. That's your opinion. Keep it to yourself. The only lawn signs that are acceptable are real estate signs. Because people need to know that your house is for sale.

SPEAKER_05 48:15

What about I listen to what we'll be saying with big YouTube socks?

SPEAKER_06 48:18

That would be one line sign that I could get behind if I could say it. Holy crap. It's been a long show. But there's like a bunch in my neighborhood, like, oh, do this or do that, or I stand with whatever. No one cares. If I wanted your opinion, I'd knock on your door and say, hey, what's your opinion on this? But you know what you're doing? You're forcing you. I I stop it. I hate it. I don't have any signs on my lawn ever. You know why? Because my opinion is none of your business.

SPEAKER_03 48:47

Unless it's on this on this show.

SPEAKER_06 48:51

And you're actually tuning in for shits and giggles.

SPEAKER_05 48:54

If there's an I love Reggae music sign on his lawn next week, I will give whoever does it $500. Anyways. You gotta find his house, though. Jesus Christ. It's very difficult. I don't even know where it is.

SPEAKER_06 49:05

People that seem to think that people driving by their house want to know that, oh, save our CPP. Like shut up. No one cares. I think less of you be I'd think more of you if you had no sign on your lawn. You're not gonna sway me, you're not gonna change my oh, I was thinking this wasn't good, but then oh, that jagoff down the street had the sign on his lawn, and I've reconsidered my position. No. No, no one changes their mind.

SPEAKER_03 49:29

I mean, that's probably pretty true.

SPEAKER_06 49:30

Right, exactly. So what are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 49:33

Fair.

SPEAKER_06 49:35

I wasn't gonna get angry today. Of all things, lawn signs.

SPEAKER_03 49:40

Of all things to get you fired off.

SPEAKER_06 49:41

It just got me thinking of all the bullshit lawn signs I see.

SPEAKER_05 49:44

Lawn signs. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 49:48

Anyways.

SPEAKER_05 49:49

I mean, it's still a good that was a good three.

SPEAKER_06 49:52

You're voting for so-and-so? You know why? They put you in the booth so no one knows who you're voting for. You know, that's actually. Shut up and keep it in the book.

SPEAKER_05 49:59

Never thought of it that way. Okay, we gotta move on.

SPEAKER_06 50:03

Anyways, it's time to start wrapping this thing up.

SPEAKER_03 50:05

I think we should probably wrap it up.

SPEAKER_06 50:06

Jesus, we've been all timers, we're gonna have to do some cuts.

SPEAKER_03 50:09

Just wrap it up.

SPEAKER_06 50:10

So uh please like our show, comment on our show, and while again, if you subscribe when it's premiering, there's a little live chat off to the side. We now know it's on the side of the scar ash.

SPEAKER_05 50:25

It is on that side.

SPEAKER_06 50:26

Tell your friends about it. You know, they'll they'll love it. Or they they may hate it, but tell them they'll love it. Tell them anyways. It may skew them a little. Maybe put a sign on your lawn. We will have lawn signs. Drop us a line. We do have an email address. Biguke.tubesocks at gmail.com. Send you letters. We'll get it on the show. That's where all these letters come into. Um we also have our Buzz Sprout page. And you know what? Every time I say that, I feel like a total tool because it it sounds really dumb.

SPEAKER_05 50:56

You do, I'm not gonna lie. Well toolish.

SPEAKER_06 50:59

It is a little toolish, but it's important to do business. As a pretty cool guy, I don't like to sound like a tool, but it's something we have to do. www.s.buzzsprout.com. That's our audio stream website. That's our home base. You can go there, you can support.

SPEAKER_05 51:18

Doesn't work when I do it.

SPEAKER_06 51:20

Uh you can throw some shekels our way.

SPEAKER_05 51:23

We could pay Edgar.

SPEAKER_06 51:25

Buy Edgar a gas card. And we're also, we discussed this last week. The society of those who get it. We haven't decided what we're doing with that yet, but we're gonna do something with it. Something will happen. But we need to gather up the support in order to uh make it know who gets it, make it a reality for we get it. You know, so we can get those lawn signs made up so people know that uh that you get it. Anyways, keep tuning in. YouTube, Spotify, both in video, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, or just go to Deezer. Deezer www.buzzsprout.com. I wish they called it something cooler. Then Deezer or Buzzsprout? No, Buzzsprout. That's just anyways. Okay. That's all we got this week, I think. Uh the next time you see us. Well, also on the EST channels. Oh, yes, EST uh website, we're linked on there.

SPEAKER_05 52:28

Uh Saturday afternoons, 2 p.m., we get a rerun of the show.

SPEAKER_06 52:31

And if you just go to the EST website, we're there.

SPEAKER_05 52:34

SPEAKER_05 52:40

Go back, watch the first one. First four. Holy. Yeah, first four. This is five. Five. We're figuring this thing out.

SPEAKER_06 52:46

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_05 52:46

We haven't figured out our timing yet, because this one's much longer than the rest. We'll get there.

SPEAKER_06 52:51

It won't be once we're done with it.

SPEAKER_05 52:53

Once Edgar gets his dirty little fingers on it.

SPEAKER_06 52:55

Anyways.

SPEAKER_05 52:56

Yeah, I mean, I was.

SPEAKER_06 52:58

We're done? That was a fun time.

SPEAKER_05 52:59

That was a lot of stuff. We talked about some stuff. We said some things.

SPEAKER_06 53:02

Considering how ill prepared we were coming into this day.

SPEAKER_05 53:05

A little bit. But that's the beauty of the show. This is why it works.

SPEAKER_06 53:09

Exactly. Alright. Well, playing us out. Harold.
