Ep.13. Cold Beers and Close Calls

This week’s ride to the beer store goes off the rails in the best possible way.

A dog. A truck. A shotgun that should not have gone off and yet here we are, laughing about it anyway while questioning how reality is still holding together.

We crack open new beers from Washington like we’re negotiating peace treaties with hops and carbonation, debate what it actually means to meet your heroes without ruining them, and unpack travel stories that feel one bad turn away from legend or disaster.

Somewhere between “lanes travels” and existential chaos, we spiral into the two questions nobody asks sober enough to answer properly:
What’s the best way the world ends… and what’s the absolute worst way it could?

It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s half philosophy, half poor decisions in a parking lot.

And somehow, you’re coming with us.

Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:25

I had a revelation. Trip to the pistol.

SPEAKER_06 0:32

I want you guys to think about this because I think it's something that we've all done. But you're out on a road trip, right? Mm-hmm. And you're just kind of rolling through one of those small towns. You come to a gas station. Maybe you're sitting at the pump. Maybe you've already got your gas and you're just going inside afterwards, you know, pick up with soda or something. And all of a sudden you hear a shotgun blast. Twelve. And so naturally, you know, everybody's hitting the deck, running and stuff. But this really happened. And it happened in a little small town in Nebraska. So everybody's running, panicking, you know, calls the cops, the cops come up, and they walk up to this car, and there's a big, uh big, very visible shotgun blast coming out of the car. Size a shotgun blast sized hole in the vehicle. Yes, that's exactly right. And the woman in it, she was she wasn't hurt too bad, like a few pellets to the arm. Okay. But I bet you can never guess who the gunman was.

SPEAKER_08 1:36

Well, on the podcast already, we've had one dude with no arms and no legs who was the trigger man. So there's no telling. There's no telling. The gunman in this case was a dog. Her her dog? Yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:52

Oh, the old family pet.

SPEAKER_08 1:54

So apparently said I wanted milk bones.

SPEAKER_04 1:58

What is this off-brand crap?

SPEAKER_08 2:01

So apparently.

SPEAKER_04 2:02

That's not bacon.

SPEAKER_06 2:05

Begging strips. Begin. So the dog, like they had pulled up and like put the car in park or whatever. Gotcha. And the dog, I guess, was got excited and was like, you know, moving around in the seats. And this exceptionally idiotic woman had one chambered. And the dog somehow stepped just in a way that pulled the trigger on the gun and blasted her.

unknown 2:32

Dang.

SPEAKER_04 2:33

Man, that's unfortunate.

SPEAKER_08 2:34

You think her and the dog are still cool or best friend? You think there's beep between them?

SPEAKER_06 2:40

I was like, you know, how smart is that dog? Right. He's like, I won't put up with this. The dog may have something he needs to say. The last time you buy me green.

SPEAKER_08 2:53

Yeah, that's crazy. Uh, you know, last week we talked about uh a friend of mine shooting himself. So he shot himself. We got the infamous story of Cheddar Bob.

SPEAKER_04 3:07

And now we've got the guy that I knew shot himself trying to sell a pistol. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 3:12

We got uh a nice lady who gets blasted by her dog. That sucks.

SPEAKER_04 3:19

You know, you're like, who's a good boy?

SPEAKER_08 3:23

You know, just a tail wagon. I wonder, I wonder if it was like a hunting dog. I wonder, I mean, if you have a shotgun in your car, they're yeah, and their feet are just everywhere.

SPEAKER_04 3:33

But why do you have a loaded shotgun not on safety, which is a big thing for shotguns?

SPEAKER_08 3:38

Agreed.

SPEAKER_04 3:38

Um, realistically, you know, what do you expect to happen? Why was uh think about a shotgun? Why was the barrel pointed toward this lady in this situation?

SPEAKER_06 3:51

Yeah, so it's like there's not a whole lot of details on it, so I don't know if the dog was like running around in the backseat of the car and knocked it over or something.

SPEAKER_04 4:00

Maybe maybe she got hit with a ricochet or something.

SPEAKER_08 4:02

It was a sig, it fell over and went off.

SPEAKER_04 4:06

They fixed those problems. Leave my sig alone.

SPEAKER_08 4:09

Um no, but uh, I think it's a high point. A lot of those states up north, I know if you're hunting, like it's illegal to even have your your hunting rifle like loaded in your vehicle. Um, I feel like I've seen that somewhere. Like if you're riding your your property, like riding a hunt hunting property, if a game warden pulls you over, you're not supposed to have your your shells in your gun unless you're in your blind or whatever.

SPEAKER_04 4:36

Well, uh officer, it's a whole lot easier to spotlight if the guns are exactly.

SPEAKER_08 4:41

But I wonder if it was one of those situations, because I think I'm trying to remember what was that show where it was like up north, or maybe it was in Alaska where you like followed the game wardens around. You know the show I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_04 4:55

Yeah, I I can't remember the name of it, but I watched it uh uh handful of times. Yeah. Um it's very informative.

SPEAKER_08 5:01

Yeah, because I feel like they like they were on a road one time and like sitting in the woods, and when uh somebody would drive by, they'd like pop up and be like, oh, you need to have an inspection or whatever. Um that's crazy though.

SPEAKER_04 5:13

I don't I and I probably should know whether that's uh Alabama law or not. Um, but to be honest with you, I don't.

SPEAKER_08 5:21

No, I don't I don't think so.

SPEAKER_06 5:23

Oh no, we'll add it to the list of uh dumb ways to death. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 5:30

Well, hopefully it was like bird shot or something and just kind of peppered her.

SPEAKER_04 5:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 5:34

Because I mean, if it was buckshot, even if just a couple of pellets got into your arm, it's gonna tear your arm up real good.

SPEAKER_04 5:39

We need to we need to do Darwin Awards. Oh, I love a new Darwin Award. We have absolutely need to do Darwin Awards one one podcast.

SPEAKER_06 5:47

Yeah, I think people would enjoy that. Uh that would be real good. So we had a pretty big weekend between the three of us, not all doing exactly the same things, but we did some pretty cool stuff this weekend. Yeah, it was eventful. Braden, what'd you do this weekend?

SPEAKER_08 6:01

Man, I worked on Friday and it was uh it was a day. It was a day. One of those. Yeah, man. And it really has been a week, but uh Friday especially was just one of those. And then uh Friday night, um, I'm terrible because I'm gonna forget the the gentleman's name. I want to say it's Adam, but I I think that may be wrong. Um I did shout out the podcast to him, so if you're listening to this, I really apologize if I've forgotten your name. But I want to say it's Mr. Adam. He um has recently purchased Old York. It's a property out in Oakman. Um, if y'all are familiar, it's where the bullpen is, the bullpen steakhouse. There's a whole property on the backside of that called Old York, and they have uh some like old western style buildings, a really beautiful, huge stage that um Willie Nelson has played on, and several old country legends played on that stage. And they had an event, and one of uh the bands I'm in was asked if we could be there, and so we showed up expecting to play just a couple of few songs and ended up playing for what what I think was pretty close to four hours. So that's a that's a rock show right there, but yeah, but we we had a good time, and um, you know, we've talked about this before. The the music scene in Jasper with a few businesses closing um had kind of been in a lull for a little while. So that's the first show I've played this year in the in the year big year 2026. So it was cool. Um I enjoyed it. It it's a really cool venue. He the guy I spoke with, I won't I again, I think it's Mr. Adam, but uh he he said that he was interested in making that a pretty regular venue. They've got a bunch of cool stuff. They want to do um a petting zoo down there, they want to have uh some cabins like where people can go and stay. Um they want to do festivals a few times a year, so it's cool. It'll uh it'll be something really interesting for for the community, especially in my neck of the woods, you know, being down there in Oakman.

SPEAKER_04 8:16

That's the second big thing that's opened in Oakman here recently. Yeah, so you got Wilson cycles.

SPEAKER_08 8:22

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 8:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_08 8:23

Yeah, so good friend of the show as well. But that was my Friday, and then I ended up coming and uh hanging out with y'all for for a little while. But after playing for four hours, I'm sure you know K Dog, but I was I was pretty good and spent, man. I was pretty good and spent. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:39

So not not a lot of uh not a lot not a lot of energy after that to feel real social because you were just social for four straight hours.

SPEAKER_08 8:49

Yeah. And uh there were like lights on the stage, they were putting on a good show as far as a picture from it. Yeah, I think Randy put it up. Yeah, it was a pretty big stage, so I you know I tried to uh uh perform as much as I could, you know, try to dance around, try to be pretty high energy, yeah. Uh which takes it out of me. Um but that was a good other than other than work, Friday was pretty good. Saturday, I kind of was a lazy turd, man. I I really didn't do a whole bunch of anything. I uh I ended up visiting with some of the in-laws for a little while and cooking dinner for the in-laws. That's all I did on Saturday, and now today's Sunday.

SPEAKER_04 9:28

I've been a lazy lazy nothing wrong with a good lazy Sunday if you've had a if you've had a big weekend. We uh we had a pretty eventful Saturday, Friday was just chill. Um we drug our good friends here out to Comic-Con. Oh, yeah, we want we wanted to go, man. We wanted to go. And it was it was very packed, very overwhelming.

SPEAKER_08 9:50

Were there a bunch of really good costumes?

SPEAKER_04 9:52

The last time I went, like everybody was if I'm being honest. I I think there was I think we missed a lot of them because we went later in the evening. Yeah, um, but I did see there was one, it was uh a bumblebee. Yeah, he uh he was on stilts and everything, it was like legit looking. Like Transformers was no, it was it was that was awesome. Uh and a lot of really great anime cool characters. So Kinsley loves that. She just took pictures with everybody, of course.

SPEAKER_08 10:23

Was it like 50-50 people dressed up and not dressed up?

SPEAKER_06 10:26

I'll probably say 40% max was dressed up. When we got there, like I said, we did get there later in the day. It started at 10. We didn't get there till after two, I think.

SPEAKER_04 10:37

Yeah, I won't go into too much detail, but um Lane here got to meet some pretty awesome heroes from his childhood.

SPEAKER_06 10:45

Yeah, it was uh it was a big day for Lane. Um, you know, we talk about superheroes a lot, and I don't think we've ever really talked about my favorite superhero. Well, I guess he's not really a superhero, he's an anti-hero. I still a superhero. Um John Constantine is my favorite superhero.

SPEAKER_08 11:00

Oh yeah, such a great movie. Oh yeah. Comics are great, movie was fantastic.

SPEAKER_06 11:05

And so I had a real big Constantine day on Saturday.

SPEAKER_08 11:09

That's cool, man.

SPEAKER_06 11:10

Um, I picked up a uh graded copy of Swamp Thing number 37.

SPEAKER_08 11:16

Swamp Thing's another really cool villain hero, anti-hero, depending on what comic you read.

SPEAKER_06 11:24

Well, Swamp Thing 37 is the first ever appearance of John Constantine.

SPEAKER_08 11:28

Oh, cool. Cool.

SPEAKER_06 11:29

So I got that graded in a 9-6. Um, I also picked up an ungraded copy of uh Hellblazer number one, which is his first series. And um I got to meet Matt Ryan, who plays the live action TV show uh for Constantine. He also did the voice and uh the movies. Cool. Animated movies. Cool. And I got to meet Ron Simmons, another interesting human being. Yep. Um unfortunately, you know, JBL wasn't there, but it was a good day. I got to meet the new age outlaws, which is pretty cool as well. Um Lex Luger was there. Sergeant Slaughter. Sergeant Slaughter.

SPEAKER_04 12:15

Lex Luger's man, I guess he's getting old. Doesn't he have a disease?

SPEAKER_06 12:19

Um he suffered for a lot of neurological damage, and so um I think he can walk to some degree now, but I don't think he can he can't like get up and go anymore.

SPEAKER_04 12:33

He was in a wheelchair at the uh at the event, but uh I just remember him smiling ear to ear, just laughing and cutting up. But uh man, you're talking about the NWO days or even before that, Luger coming out there swallowed up, you know. Oh yeah. It's rough to see those guys, man, in the in the weakened shape that they are and age takes over, you know.

SPEAKER_08 12:55

Yeah, but that I mean that's that's part of it, man.

SPEAKER_04 12:58

It is it's just sad because you you grow up watching them.

SPEAKER_06 13:02

You don't think about it, right? And then like once they once they get out of it, like you're not seeing them every day anymore, like you're every week when you're watching, and it's like next thing you know, like you'll go back and watch a match, and well, that match was 30 something years ago. Oh yeah, and so it's then like you see them, and it's like, oh man, I I feel old because like my heroes are getting old.

SPEAKER_08 13:23

Yeah, well, I feel like that with uh the UFC. You know, we talk about all these legends, you talk about GSP, you talk about Anderson Silva, you talk about even the more recent guys like Tony Ferguson. If you look, these guys primes, you know, Tony Ferguson has fought too long, but you know, Anderson Silva and GSP especially, I mean, those guys are at a decade or you know, some of them longer than a decade since they were really at their heyday.

SPEAKER_04 13:54

Um we don't realize how old they were in their heyday.

SPEAKER_08 13:57

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. But that's man, I don't know. I for a long time I had the mentality of uh I've got a tattoo on my my right forearm and it's a candle burning at both ends. I always um thought that the the whole dichotomy of like, is it better to burn out or is it better to fade away? Yeah, I always thought it was just better to burn out. But you know, as I get older, like I'm married, I I don't necessarily just want to like have a bunch of fun and then randomly die one day.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:30

Um, so I don't know, seeing your heroes like that and seeing dudes you look up to, um, at the end of the day, they're still people, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 14:38

So while it is puts a lot of things into perspective.

SPEAKER_08 14:41

Oh, absolutely. Well, you think of like Arnold, right? I think Arnold's a great example. Yeah. Not only was he a movie star, politician, super famous bodybuilder. If you look at him now, he's still in great shape. Better shape than I'm in for sure. Yeah. But I mean, he's he's an old man.

SPEAKER_06 14:59

Well, I mean, it's gonna happen to all of us, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_04 15:02

But oh, I'm not old.

SPEAKER_06 15:04

I'm not old.

SPEAKER_04 15:06

Quickly to the chop out. He's a he's a cool guy.

SPEAKER_08 15:11

We we could do a whole episode about like the life of Arnold.

SPEAKER_04 15:14

Um, yeah, you're talking about you know, the last two podcasts we talked about interesting men.

SPEAKER_08 15:19

Yeah. There's so many. Yeah, he's got a really interesting like his early life is really interesting. Same deal as uh Sylvester Sylvester Stallone. Yeah. His uh his early life is really interesting.

SPEAKER_06 15:33

Yeah, I mean Slide's got I mean, the whole thing with um with uh Rocky One. Oh yeah, uh like because um like I mean he sold everything, moved out to LA to do Rocky One. He had the script that he wrote for it, and then no one would buy the script if he was the actor.

SPEAKER_08 15:54

Yeah, and he just refused to compromise.

SPEAKER_06 15:56

And so like he I think he made virtually nothing on Rocky One, like somebody originally would do it if he if he got paid virtually butcus. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 16:05

And so I'd like to But you have to think like how how different his life would be if he hadn't have just not been willing to compromise on that.

SPEAKER_06 16:12

Yeah, if he had if he had just sold out, took the big paycheck, you know. Yeah, um, it'd be interesting to see like, you know, what would you know what would it look like now for for him? Yeah. He's still killing it though. Uh Tulsa King, I haven't watched it, but I've heard that he's been phenomenal.

SPEAKER_04 16:29

It was good.

SPEAKER_08 16:30

Yeah. He's done a really good job, and uh, there are a lot of actors that it's hard for them to do this, but he's done a really good job of not playing one character. You know, like some some people are the same, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:44

Some some people are the same guy in every movie.

SPEAKER_08 16:46

They they have 20 movies, but they're the same guy in every movie. And like one of my favorite actors is uh is Paul Rudd. I like Paul Rudd a lot. I like ball. Yeah. But in 90% of the movies he's in, he's the same guy. Yeah, he's the same guy.

SPEAKER_04 17:01

Which is so funny, though. Yeah, in in his respect, it's so funny because he has the same attitude. It's kind of like uh Robert Downey Jr.

SPEAKER_08 17:10

Yeah. Is the same witty, quick, off the cuff kind of guy. I love it though.

SPEAKER_04 17:16

Yeah, some people can get away with that.

SPEAKER_08 17:18

Oh, yeah, and some people can't. Oh, yeah, for sure. And it's not a dig, they're really good at one thing and they do that one thing. But to me, it's a little more impressive when you like you've got Rocky, you got Rambo. Well, now like you have Tulsa King.

SPEAKER_04 17:35

Yeah, never forget you have Tulsa King.

SPEAKER_08 17:42

You've got Tulsa King, which is still like a tough guy movie, but it's more cerebral, you know, or not a movie, uh a series. Um, but it's like more cerebral. And then uh another good example is uh Brian Cranston.

SPEAKER_06 17:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 17:58

Right? So you have movies where he's a cerebral drug lord. Well, then you have Malcolm in the middle, then there's uh what is it, The Judge? Is that the new series?

SPEAKER_06 18:11

I'm not sure, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_08 18:12

I think it's on HBO, The Judge, I think is what it's called, but it's uh it's a different type of series, and that's cool. Like to me, being an actor and being able to be these different people is really interesting.

SPEAKER_06 18:26

But I think you've got to be careful with that, um, because I think you can go too far in the opposite direction, right? Like you got guys that are in one role, and then you've got guys that have done so much different work that like you know, they just kind of almost become obscure, right? Like, think about Nick Cage, for example, right? Like he's done like I love him, don't get me wrong. Yeah, I love him. He's done some really good movies, he's done some really not good movies, but you know, it's but it's like he he plays all a different character in almost every movie he's in to the point where I think it kind of loses uh uh almost loses originality, I guess, just because you're doing something different every time.

SPEAKER_04 19:07

We and we and when you're talking about actors, man, let's talk about one that it's kind of cliche that can play any part, in my opinion. Um but when it comes to like dated back roles, without without a doubt, Leonardo DiCaprio is a killer.

SPEAKER_08 19:28

Oh, he has to be he has to be one of the best actors of all time, period.

SPEAKER_06 19:32

Have you turned 26 yet?

SPEAKER_08 19:34

No.

SPEAKER_06 19:34

Well, you need to hurry up and turn 26 before we let him on the show.

SPEAKER_08 19:41

Just because I'm 25, he might come hang out.

SPEAKER_06 19:44

You may want to hang out, he may have a little special time with it.

SPEAKER_04 19:46

Regardless, that I mean, you you look at any film he's ever been in, and especially like the parts he plays where it, you know, it's dated back into a you know a different time.

SPEAKER_08 19:56

Oh, his performance in Django has to be one of the best performances of all time.

SPEAKER_06 20:02

You know the the re what was it the Revenant? Yeah, the Revenant.

SPEAKER_04 20:07

I think that was the first one he ever won an Oscar for. Is that is that correct? Let me look that up.

SPEAKER_06 20:12

Yes, that was that was his Oscar winning. Oh Lord, that's a great movie.

SPEAKER_04 20:16

It blows my mind he didn't win one before that.

SPEAKER_06 20:19

I can't believe that he had to get mauled by a bear twice just to win that award. Sometimes you got to.

SPEAKER_04 20:25

I believe I feel bad for the bear. He had to get mauled twice by a bear to win an award.

SPEAKER_08 20:32

And it's crazy that that movie's based off of a true story. Yeah. Now, in the movie, it's there's some details that are wrong, which you know they do that in every movie.

SPEAKER_04 20:41

They stretch them a little.

SPEAKER_08 20:42

But the meat of that movie is true. The meat of that movie is uh is not attached to his back anymore. Um, but yeah, Leo's gotta be one of the best actors of all time.

SPEAKER_04 20:58

I had I had to throw that in there, man, because and like I said, of course it's cliche because he was the little heart throb of and the Titanic and all that. There was room for both of them on that door.

SPEAKER_08 21:10

Mythbusters prove that that's not true.

SPEAKER_04 21:12

She murdered.

SPEAKER_08 21:14

No, um Yeah, and like Keanu, you gotta talk about Keanu when you're talking about great actors. To me, Johnny Depp's one of them.

SPEAKER_04 21:23

What about Keanu? One of the most humble actors.

SPEAKER_08 21:26

Oh, yeah. Like gave away all his money that he made from The Matrix, basically keeps no money from any movies, huge, huge uh charity guy.

SPEAKER_04 21:35

Yeah, and pictures and videos of him sitting with homeless people just to have a conversation.

SPEAKER_08 21:40

Yeah, he rides the subway everywhere. Yeah, the only thing he spurges on is motorcycles, allegedly, which can't fault to his company ARC.

SPEAKER_04 21:47

Yeah, cool looking motorcycle. Real cool.

SPEAKER_08 21:50

They look from Tron.

SPEAKER_04 21:51

Yeah, if they're from Tron.

SPEAKER_06 21:52

But he's so professional, even with like meeting fans and stuff. I don't know if you guys have ever seen the pictures and stuff, but like if you look at the pictures. Of him with fans, like especially female fans. Like he'll have like his arms around him when he won't actually be touching them.

SPEAKER_04 22:07

They're always like pointed, his hands never touch their backs. We know I've seen that.

SPEAKER_08 22:11

Apparently, like his I don't remember if it was his wife and child both died, or maybe I don't know about his child, but I I'm pretty positive it was his wife in a car accident or something like that. I know he's he's dealt with like tragic loss several times.

SPEAKER_04 22:28

Maybe a child too. I'm just not sure. I don't remember I've always loved him as an actor, man.

SPEAKER_08 22:32

But humble guy. It's it's really easy to like those guys. You know, you see a guy who like number one is a phenomenal actor. Yeah. And then on top of that, they're a good person too. You're like, oh, cool. It's easy to root for that guy.

SPEAKER_06 22:46

You know, I think one of the cooler things, like, I mean, I've got to meet some famous people in my lifetime, but like we got to meet a fairly good number of people at Comic-Con yesterday.

SPEAKER_04 22:56

Yeah. I would like to say that the most famous person in the world was there, Danny Trejo.

SPEAKER_06 23:02

Oh, sorry. Danny Trejo was he?

SPEAKER_04 23:05

Yes. The most feared man in California. Machete. Machente. Um I I've always loved Danny Trejo, man.

SPEAKER_06 23:14

But it was just like how just down to earth the people that were there were was was huge. It was like when we were talking to Matt Ryan, I was talking to his handler while I was waiting my turn to meet him. And he was like, Yeah, man, we just we we love getting out, we love talking to people, and um, you know, he was like, I have to be his handler, you know, I have to have to take care of him when we're at the shows because he would get so distracted. Like he talked to the people in front of me and Alec for like 10 minutes. Yeah. And then like he took a lot of pictures with you guys. Yeah, and I mean like he he grabbed Alec's phone and just like going around, just taking all sorts of crazy selfies with us. And um, it was one of those things like he literally made it feel like if you're just another guy. Like if the show like if they'd been wrapping up the show when we were coming through, probably would have gone and had dinner with us. Like, I mean, like that's just the kind of guy he seemed like.

SPEAKER_08 24:12

Well, I think that's important. Like, if you're in a position to where I think if you're in a position where you're successful because people support you, I I don't think you should abuse that. And you know, now we live where social media exists and everything's recorded. You see these like celebrities, or especially musicians, who like shoe fans away and they're like, I don't care.

SPEAKER_04 24:36

Dude, you're only as famous as your fans allow you to be.

SPEAKER_08 24:38

We're paying your bills, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 24:40

But I will say that that's that's also a two-edged sword, right? Because people will also take advantage of that kind of stuff. Like, I've seen a lot of times like professional wrestlers, like they'll go to the airport or something and they got a fly. And I mean, they're just getting, you know, just waylaid with people and they're expecting it. They want everybody wants to have a full conversation with you. Yeah. And, you know, you're just there, like, I'm I'm just trying to make my flight. And like there's been uh some stories I've read lately, especially among the uh female talent in uh WWE where they're like finding out where they're they're like their homes.

SPEAKER_08 25:18

Yeah, like swatting them.

SPEAKER_06 25:20

And people are no there's a time and a place, you know. Yeah, but I can I guarantee you we got a problem if you know you show up at my house. Like, yeah, but I mean it's like they're they're coming up, they're you know, expecting stuff like at their door, knocking on their door, calling them on the phone.

SPEAKER_04 25:35

I guess it's hard to say either way because we're not in those shoes where you're just constantly having your windows peek through.

SPEAKER_08 25:43

But you can be respectful, you know, like you can be you can be a good human being. I get it, like being in a rush, whatever. Um, but at the same time, like you don't you don't have to be a dick. Now there is I have definitely seen where like, hey, I'm just trying to get in my car. Y'all are blocking the way. Like, please just get out of the way. That's a different thing.

SPEAKER_04 26:04

But you know Toby McGuire used to get unhinged at people. I've seen a lot of videos of him cussing people out and acting crazy.

SPEAKER_08 26:15

One of one of the only example I have is uh this is a nerdy jujitsu thing, and nobody's gonna know his name who listens to this podcast. But if you're into jujitsu and you don't know who Bruno Malfazine is, you should. He is the winningest rooster weight of all time. He's about this tall. He's like 5'4, 5'3. He's my wife's size. He weighs like 130 pounds. Um, phenomenal grappler, super insane athlete. There's videos of him beating up like 300-pound dudes. He weighs like a buck 30. Really, really high-level jujitsu guy. Well, we went to Vegas and um we're running around this tournament, and he's warming up to fight. So like he's got his headphones on, got his gi on, like hyping himself up. I come around a corner running to go grab something, run clean into him. I mean, just like bulldoze him. Well, I'm helping him up, and I like as I'm helping him up, I realize who he is. I'm like, hey, oh, hey, professor, I'm so sorry, man. Like, I'm like, oh my god, I'm about to give my ass a whoop. Um and he takes his headphones off and like immediately is like, oh, it's no problem, man, no problem. And I had just bumped into him. I'm like, I really hate to do this. You're like one of my favorite athletes. Can I please get a picture with you? And he like pats me on the back, he's like, it's no problem whatsoever. Takes a picture with me, puts you in the rear rope. Yeah, as he's taking the picture, chokes me unconscious. Um, but I mean, I've had a ton of interactions with jujitsu people like that where like yes, they're they're famous. They're famous, they they make a ton of money, they're great at what they do, but they're also like they remember when they were a 20-year-old looking looking up to these guys. And I've had some guys where it's hey man, so glad you appreciate me. Pat me on the back, keep moving. And then I've had some guys stop and have a conversation with me. You know, it's uh I just have to assume if they if they pat me on the back and keep going, okay, they got something to do. You know, and there are times where I'm like, oh, I really wish that guy would have stopped and talked to me, but you know, he didn't. I think if somebody's at the airport and they're sitting there and you can tell, like, hey, they're looking around, they're not doing anything, they're not in a rush. Walk up, say, hey, I'm a big fan, just wanted to let you know that. Really appreciate everything you do. If a conversation happens after that, then that's cool, but you know, you wouldn't want somebody just walking up to you and like forcing a conversation upon you, you know. And so there's there is a there should be a mutual respect on both sides. Right. You know, you as the famous person shouldn't be an asshole. You as the fan also are not entitled to you're not you're not doing anything. Yeah, you know. So, you know, show your appreciation, they'll reciprocate or they won't. And that's the end of it.

SPEAKER_04 29:21

Yeah, I mean it's they say don't meet your heroes.

SPEAKER_06 29:23

Yeah. Well, you know, and it's one of those things, right? Like, you know, in the situation, you're the you're the same walking up to this very very famous person as the crackhead at the gas station is walking up to you asking you for money. Oh, yeah. You're in essence doing the same thing to somebody very famous. Like get away from me, peasant. Get away from me, peasant. But I think uh I think we've decided that uh, you know, and we went because Kinsley wanted to go.

SPEAKER_07 29:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 29:53

That was the big thing. And so I think uh I think next time if she'll pick the if she'll pick the um theme, we're all planning on uh cause playing out like all around her character. We should definitely do that.

SPEAKER_00 30:14

You know those places that make you sit back after the first bite and just stare at your plate for a second? Yeah, that's Jake's. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, taking someone special out for the evening, meeting friends for drinks, or simply treating yourself because you made it through another week. Jake's on fourth delivers the kind of experience that keeps people coming back. Some incredible steaks and seafood to burgers, sandwiches, and one of the most talked-about bologna sandwiches around. Every plate is made with the attention to detail you'd expect from a fine dining restaurant without all the stuffiness. And let's talk about the bar. Craft cocktails, cold beer, great wine, and the perfect atmosphere to unwind after work or kick off a night downtown. The best restaurants don't serve food. They create memories, first dates, anniversary dinners, friends gather around a table, stories that get told for years. And that's what you're gonna find at Jackson 4th. So next time you're hungry, skip that drive-thru and treat yourself to something worth talking about. Jackson 4th. Great food, great drinks, great company. Right in the heart of Jasper.

SPEAKER_03 31:56

Stories on full life lessons in the piphinees before the brew folds, but the burdens get lighter as a campown bro.

SPEAKER_08 32:05

So uh Lane, there's a bit of a story behind the beers we're drinking this week, I think. Uh I know I'm intimately aware with your big problem. Um, yeah, there's a bit of a story about the beers we're drinking this week. So do you wanna do you wanna share that?

SPEAKER_06 32:23

Yeah, so um you guys know I'm on the road all the time for work.

SPEAKER_08 32:27

On the road again?

SPEAKER_06 32:28

Uh this this has been a real rough weekend for me because um I flew out Monday, got home Friday night at like 5.30 in the evening, came over here, hung out with him entirely too late. And then, you know, we got I went to Comic-Con yesterday, and then we were out hanging out for you know, another hours after that. I'm just like, I'm beat, and then now tomorrow I've got to get up and go to Connecticut. Beat and tired of seeing my face. Oh, beat. Uh I'd like seeing your face. Um, but yeah, I was in uh Washington this past week. State, not DC. Washington state. And um we were on a job site, and safety guy that I ran into that was working for the company, and uh we got to talk and he was like, Hey man, there's this one really cool place that y'all've got to go to while you're here. I was like, Cool man, what is it? And he goes, It's the E9 Firehouse.

SPEAKER_08 33:24

Which is a cool name.

SPEAKER_06 33:26

Yep. And so he's like, not firehouse subs. I don't know why he felt like he needed to like clarify. Just to clarify, but so we look it up, we go over there, and the place is a firehouse that was built in 1907.

SPEAKER_08 33:42

Which is cool points off the rip.

SPEAKER_06 33:44

Like, so I mean, like you walk in and it's firehouse. And so we just grab a seat at the bar, we're just gonna hang out, have a little snag, drink a beer or two. I didn't realize when we got there or until we got there that they brewed their own beers on site.

SPEAKER_08 34:00

Also cool points off the rip.

SPEAKER_06 34:01

And so it's like they had full bar, full food service, um, and brewed all their own beers.

SPEAKER_08 34:13

So you told us a bunch about this real cool place. So what beer did you end up getting us from there?

SPEAKER_06 34:19

So I actually brought well not today, but I got two beers while I was there. He cut me a pretty cool deal. Cool? Because uh what we're drinking today is E9 Rowdy and Dick. Rowdy and Dick.

SPEAKER_04 34:35

It's a really cool can. It is a cool looking can.

SPEAKER_06 34:37

But I'm super immature, so and so the the deal he cut me was he goes uh because I told him this is the one that I wanted. And um he told me, um, tell you what, I've got a three-pack in the back that I'm not legally allowed to sell. Cool. So if you'll buy a four-pack of something else, I'll throw in that three-pack for you for free. And just make sure you, you know, shout us out on the podcast. And you know, if you're in the Pacific Northwest, you know, go check them out. Yeah, you should. So we're drinking the E9's Rowdy and Dick, and those of you who want the backstory on this one, which I'm sure you do, um, the name of the beer is in honor of the last two firehouse horses, Rowdy and Dick and Pumper Truck Service at engine house number nine. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_04 35:29

Rowdy and Dick.

SPEAKER_08 35:32

So this is this is out of Tacoma, is what it says. Yep. Cool. I've got a brother who lives in Tacoma.

SPEAKER_06 35:37

So uh tell you, brother, to go check out the E9 firehouse. Blake, go check out E9.

SPEAKER_08 35:43

No, even if you don't like it, go check them out.

SPEAKER_06 35:46

I mean, the food was really good as well.

SPEAKER_08 35:47

He said that they brew a bunch of different beers. So go try them. You'll find some of them. So it's a really cool can.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

You guys want to jump off into this? Let's do it.

SPEAKER_08 36:01

This is also, I believe, the first tall boy on.

SPEAKER_06 36:06

Yeah, this is the first reviewed tall boy. That smells delightful.

SPEAKER_08 36:10

Well, I get is this technically a tall boy? It's a pint.

SPEAKER_04 36:12

Yeah, it's a it's what I would consider a tall boy. Well, boys. Well that's not that bad.

SPEAKER_08 36:26

No, it's got kind of like a citrusy thing that I kind of like.

SPEAKER_04 36:31

A little hint of uh bitter, but not too much.

SPEAKER_08 36:38

It reminds me a little bit of an Andie Gator. Like has a little bit of a similar profile to anie gator.

SPEAKER_01 36:47

I feel like it's not as bitter. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 36:48

No, it's it's not as strong or as bitter, but that like light citrusy thing on top reminds me of an Andie gator. Which I like an Andie Gator, it's one of my favorite beers. You just like whatever gets you drunk. That plays that plays a factor, especially when it comes to Andy Gators.

SPEAKER_06 37:08

Man's over here boofing uh snake handlers.

SPEAKER_04 37:12

Tall out of the frames.

SPEAKER_06 37:14

Um you like an Andie Gator?

SPEAKER_04 37:16

That's all right. That's what I'm saying. I love an indie gator.

SPEAKER_08 37:18

Yeah. Have you had one of the strawberry ones? The Straw Gators? They're real good as well.

SPEAKER_04 37:23

It's not a bad aftertaste. I mean, it's not a bad beer.

SPEAKER_08 37:26

I can imagine that it was very good off of a draft. Oh, I can do with a great amount of certainty that it was. Yeah. Um I really like it. This is my kind of beer. Um like I can sit and have several, several, several of these. Um it's my kind of beer. Uh E9, I think y'all did a great job with this. I'm gonna go out of five bottle caps, I'm gonna go four two. Hey. Yeah, I like it. I think it's a great beer.

SPEAKER_04 38:02

I'm gonna, I'm not far behind you. I think it's a solid beer. Um, it isn't my go-to or everyday drinking beer, but I can definitely have several of these. Um and it's so good cold. That that's yeah. Um I'm gonna go a solid four. I'm gonna give it a solid four. I I don't think it's a bad beer whatsoever. I think I think there'd be it's probably a huge market. Oh, yeah. And I used this is Washington, right?

SPEAKER_06 38:31

This yeah, this is Tacoma.

SPEAKER_04 38:32

Yeah, I mean, that's probably a one of the faves up there, right?

SPEAKER_06 38:36

No, man. It's not? Well, I mean, I'm not I'm not gonna say specifically like that this is not, but you gotta think of it um once you get over on that west coast, they're real big on those IPAs. Oh. So like I'm looking up at the like draft wall and it's got like 18 beers on tap, and nine of them are IPAs or West Coast PLs, or you know, they all hate themselves.

SPEAKER_08 38:58

Yeah, lots of fedoras and flapper caps over there. Surprisingly not.

SPEAKER_04 39:02

A lot of hipsters out there.

SPEAKER_06 39:04

Uh well, when I flew into Portland, I could uh definitely tell uh the clientele that I was like, we got all we got off the plane that went from Birmingham to Denver. And so we went from we flew from Denver to Portland after that, and the group of people that was with me on the plane to Denver and the group of people I got on the plane with going to Portland were two very different crowds.

SPEAKER_08 39:27

Yes. How how terrible was your Denver airport experience?

SPEAKER_06 39:32

Um, it would not have been that bad, in my opinion, if I hadn't landed at B1 and had to go all the way to like C 47 in like 15 minutes.

SPEAKER_08 39:52

Which is a three-mile hike.

SPEAKER_06 39:54

It is like my my my calves and my shins were hurting so bad, like just power walking through. Oh, it's terrible.

SPEAKER_04 40:01

We ran into that at Dallas Love coming back from Vegas. Uh Dallas Love isn't bad though. Like well, we are so our flight takeoff, there was some sort of mix-up, and we sat on the runway for I'm telling you, 30, 45 minutes. I mean, it felt like forever. I thought they were gonna like cancel or whatever.

SPEAKER_08 40:17

Yeah, unboard you.

SPEAKER_04 40:18

And um, no, we finally took off, and the flight wasn't long, but we landed so late, as soon as we started walking off, they were like, they're boarding your flight. We were on one. We had to go all the way to 15, which was at the complete opposite end of the entire airport. So everybody from this plane going to Alabama was just running. I mean, just running. And uh, no, it worked out, but no, it was it was wild. I'd barely seen anything in that airport.

SPEAKER_06 40:49

Yeah, just sprinting. Yeah, I was a little upset on this trip. I did so because I I had such a quick turnaround in Denver and had to cover so far. I pick up a magnet at every airport I fly through. And I didn't have a chance to get one in Denver or in Portland when we landed there, so I was a little upset about that. But we're talking about E9, Drafty and Dick. You gotta give it a rating. E9, I think you did a phenomenal job. Uh be looking for us. We are gonna shout you out on Facebook as well. Let's uh let's do a little co-branding here and uh you know help each other out a little bit. Yeah, I think I'm gonna give this beer a four and a quarter. Four and a quarter. Hey, yeah, I do like it a lot.

SPEAKER_08 41:30

Yeah, not a bad rating at all. Not a bad rating at all. Yeah, I'm I'm pretty happy with it. I like it.

SPEAKER_04 41:37

A really cool can. It's got the two um horsies. What kind of horses they were, but oh, there's no telling.

SPEAKER_06 41:48

Um they don't look like clouds.

SPEAKER_04 41:49

No, it's it's I got that old timey, that old timey look to it, and I love that.

SPEAKER_08 41:55

Back then they just called it horse.

SPEAKER_04 41:57

Bam's horses. Not to be confused with mules. Back then it was just horse. Yeah. That's horse. So is that a Tennessee walker?

SPEAKER_06 42:08

Yes. Yes. Is it from Tennessee and does it walk?

SPEAKER_04 42:13

Yes. Does it do a cool little print?

SPEAKER_08 42:16

Yeah. Are they gated? That's what you call that. Are they gated?

SPEAKER_04 42:20

Yeah. How many hands on?

SPEAKER_08 42:22

They they walk a certain way. Yeah, that was that was pretty nice, man. Pretty nice.

SPEAKER_06 42:26

Yeah, I'm not upset about it. And we do have this other little beer. We're not gonna grate it or anything, but we are gonna try a little taste of uh Loe and Logan Brewing Company's really special bitter here in a minute, but that'll just be for us.

SPEAKER_08 42:40

Yeah, we'll give it a little try. Just see. Really special bitter. Yeah, it's gonna be right up now.

SPEAKER_06 42:47

I'm a little nervous about it. Like he said, he's like, dude, I don't know where this came from. I don't know how long it's been here. But like I just went ahead and tossed it in there for you.

SPEAKER_04 42:54

What's the date? What's the date on it?

SPEAKER_06 42:57

Uh he didn't give us no rent beer. No, I don't I don't think he would have.

SPEAKER_04 43:00

I think he uh I'm just asking, so when we drink sand in a minute, is it gonna be that bitter? We're just chewing on sand.

SPEAKER_06 43:08

There's uh there's no date on this one, but uh we'll let you guys know if it sucks on it.

SPEAKER_08 43:13

Yeah, it'll be fine. Um so earlier we were talking about actors. And um I watched a movie earlier and Kalen disagrees with me, but I think it sucked pretty terribly. Um it's a new Gerard Butler movie. I don't think it's actually new because I think it's a couple years old. They just released a second one, so it can't be too too new, but it's called Greenland. I enjoyed it. It's about the world, it's about the world ending, and I won't spoil it for anybody who watched it, but it's about the world. Spoiler, spoiler it's about the world ending. And so after I watched it and I was just kind of sitting there. Um I also watched twenty twelve uh That's good earlier this week, and so just the world ending in movie form has been on my mind.

SPEAKER_06 43:58

Did you watch Apocalypse? Now as well. I mean, you know, just go ahead and get them all out of the way. Yeah. Maybe that's specific rim.

SPEAKER_08 44:05

Maybe I'm going through some things.

SPEAKER_04 44:07

What what is the the new ish movie with Leonardo DiCaprio? Is it up or is it look uh don't don't look up? Don't look up. Yes.

SPEAKER_08 44:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:15

That's that one. It was pretty good. Yeah, it's good.

SPEAKER_08 44:17

It's got uh Jennifer Lawrence in it as well. Yeah, not a part I would think he would play in that, but multi-town multifaceted, very talented actor. Um, but it got me thinking, you know, there are some ways that the world could end. And I say world ending, it's like apocalyptic event.

SPEAKER_04 44:36

Love, love it.

SPEAKER_08 44:37

There are some ways that that could happen that really wouldn't be too bad. And then there are some ways that it could happen that would really suck. Um, and so it got me thinking, and I just wondered what you guys thought. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go first because I've been thinking about it and I'm prepared. I want to give y'all time to think.

SPEAKER_02 44:59

All right.

SPEAKER_08 45:00

Um, mine, both answers are the same. Because any anything can happen here. Fiction is okay, science-based things are okay, whatever y'all want to do. For me, I'm not too worried about like nukes or the world imploding or us floating into the sun or anything like that. Because all of that is just kind of the nukes is just, well, did you get hit by one or you didn't? If you didn't, you have to suffer the aftermath, and that sucks. If you did get hit one by one, it's not your problem anymore, you know. Us floating into the sun, similar things, you just you're dead. If the world implodes, you're I'm really burning now. It's just, you know, so none of none of that stuff really scares me all that bad. The perfect way for the world to end, I think, is really stupid zombies. Like, think walking dead, right? They're brainless, they don't run, they're just walking around, stumbling around.

SPEAKER_06 46:03

Well, so now that you're done talking about gin alpha, could you tell us how you want the world to end? But no, that's that's a good point, right?

SPEAKER_08 46:11

All the stupid people are gonna die in the first week.

SPEAKER_06 46:13

Oh, yeah, right?

SPEAKER_08 46:14

So you do have to worry about the other intelligent people, right? You gotta fight the other people. But I think maybe where we live in particular, right? We're in a pretty rural area. I think a lot of people are gonna die. The people who don't die have lots of guns and lots of ammo. They're just gonna be on their property fishing, they won't be left alone. Sean of the Dead.

SPEAKER_04 46:41

Yeah. Have you seen Sean of the Dead?

SPEAKER_06 46:43

Yeah. We should, as a group, watch the Cornetto trilogy.

SPEAKER_07 46:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 46:50

You guys know what the I don't.

SPEAKER_07 46:51

Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_06 46:52

So it's it's Sean of the Dead. Uh, what was the other uh Hot Fu was it Hotfuzz that he was? Okay, I've watched I've watched both of those movies, and then there's a third one that but the thing is like they make the joke repeatedly and they talk about it off-screen. Is if you watch the movies, they have a Cornetto uh like uh ice cream cone in all of them, and they really were trying super hard to get sponsored by Cornetto for the movie, and so they call it the Cornetto trilogy because it's in all I didn't know that. We'll have to check that out.

SPEAKER_04 47:25

But I do I love those movies, and those guys are hilarious.

SPEAKER_08 47:29

I think the worst way for the world to end is super smart fast zombies.

SPEAKER_05 47:37

That's terrifying.

SPEAKER_08 47:38

World War Z zombies, like them screaming and sprinting at you.

SPEAKER_04 47:42

They were so fast in that movie. Yeah, yeah, no, that's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_08 47:46

What what do they call them in zombieland? The Hawkings? Yeah, or no, they call them uh T-800s.

SPEAKER_04 47:51

That's right.

SPEAKER_08 47:53

You gotta shoot them like 20 times, even if you gotta cut their head off or something. Yeah, that would suck.

SPEAKER_06 47:59

Zombie kill of the week goes to Sister Agnes.

SPEAKER_08 48:02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 48:03

She dropped the piano.

SPEAKER_08 48:05

Yeah, so I think best case scenario, it's zombies and they're really stupid. And the only thing you have to worry about is the other drunk rednecks who are pissed off when all the Keystone lights are gone. That'd be a real problem.

SPEAKER_05 48:17

We'll have to figure out how to brew it. We need to learn how to brew beer before the zombie apocalypse. That'd be a real problem.

SPEAKER_08 48:22

I think we can create a brewing empire and we're gonna be fine. We are Negan. Um, but I think if they're like fast, super smart zombies, like jump out of the shadows and stuff. No, dude, I'm I'm I'm over with. You know what I mean? So best case stupid zombies, worst case smart zombies. That's how I would want the world to end.

SPEAKER_04 48:48

This seems pretty reasonable. Now, if we're talking about like best, I get what you're saying on the best, but like I'm thinking of best as in like the most painless. Or that's up to you.

SPEAKER_08 48:59

It's your it's your opinion, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 49:01

Um man, that's a hard conversation to have because yeah, I guess I would have a little bit of fun at the very beginning of like some dumb zombies. You're like, oh man, I've been training for the apocalypse forever. And if you're gonna give me slow targets, yeah, you know, um, I don't know. I would think uh a quick death for everybody would be the best. Um but but we're looking at this in two different respects, right?

SPEAKER_08 49:32

Well, yeah, but it's it's your opinion, right? So like I think the reason I say slow zombies is because what do I do every day? I go to work, I ride motorcycles and I hang out with you, right?

SPEAKER_01 49:44

Right.

SPEAKER_08 49:45

If the zombie apocalypse happens, the only thing that changes is I don't have to go to work anymore. It seems like a playground.

SPEAKER_04 49:51

What you said sounds like a playground for us.

SPEAKER_08 49:54

Yeah, like we get to ride motorcycles and just shoot guns all day.

SPEAKER_04 49:59

Now we're gonna start welding armor on like I mean so to me I would have to I would have to kind of agree because I want to stay in that positive mindset that you're in right now. I would have to agree with you on that's probably would be the best way. Uh an apocalyptic setting, and they're not jumping through your walls to get at you like uh he is legend or oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 50:23

Those are vampires though, right?

SPEAKER_06 50:24

Those aren't you know, yeah. Well, in the in the original book that it's based on there, there's um but I get what you're saying. They're not they're not killing their front door there.

SPEAKER_04 50:33

Right. Um so yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with you on that. I I don't really I don't want to veer away from that, but at the same time, I think the worst way for the world to end would probably be um like a loss of oxygen or let we can get into the whole conversation of what's outer space or if there's an outer space or flat earth and all that.

SPEAKER_08 50:57

I'm not gonna get into all that, but if you've ever seen Total Recall, like the atmosphere just disappears, just gone.

SPEAKER_04 51:05

Yeah, that would sound you watch Arnold and his old lady, I can't remember the actress's name, but their eyes are just sucking out of their head and they can't breathe, and their veins are popping out. You know what I'm saying? Absolute worst.

SPEAKER_06 51:18

Yeah, it would probably suck. Sounds absolutely horrifying.

SPEAKER_04 51:21

Oh, yeah. Yeah, if you haven't seen Total Recall, just just YouTube, the beginning. Yeah, the clip. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 51:28

Clip it. What do you think, Lyne? So you guys know me pretty well. I think the ideal best case scenario for End of the World, Nymphomaniac Aliens. Everybody's getting probed. It is what it is. In the uh mortal world's uh Futurama, Death by Snooze Noo. Death by Snooze Noo is Lane's dream. It's like take me, man, me the the the uh the the mind is willing, but the flesh is bruised in flabby.

SPEAKER_04 52:12

Please stop, no, don't stop. I love her.

SPEAKER_06 52:19

You know, I think for the worst possible scenario in the for this gain if I need to get you're also getting probed, and you're going to like it.

SPEAKER_04 52:36

This this is gone left.

SPEAKER_07 52:39

Yeah. Fair enough.

SPEAKER_08 52:40

I like both of y'all's answers. Um, yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. I think they're they're obviously the world ending's not good, period.

SPEAKER_06 52:50

But if it's gonna just like your opinion, man.

SPEAKER_04 52:54

It's just like your opinion, man. Guys, if you're listening, I want to hear some of y'all's opinions. We need to put up a post about this on the Facebook page, and I just want to get some feedback on it. I want to hear some creative ways uh that you think is the worst ways uh the world can end and the best way.

SPEAKER_06 53:11

And we we've got to get better, and that's mostly my fault, just being on the road. But we we we talk about posting the stuff all the time, then we never seem to get around to it. So we'll we'll do better on that on Facebook. Yeah, we gotta talk to our media person about that. I said I was sorry.

SPEAKER_08 53:27

Uh no, there's a lot of really, really bad ways, though. Like uh even just recently, like you you think about uh like the Ebola scare, that would have sucked real bad. Like if that would have traveled.

SPEAKER_04 53:41

Yeah, and what's going on with the Honda virus? Or isn't I know it's not called Honda virus, but some kind of virus, yeah. We've all been calling it the Honda virus. I think it's Honda. Honda, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 53:51

Oh, it's it's Honda piece of shit.

SPEAKER_04 53:55

You've got that virus too. Damn alternator.

SPEAKER_08 53:59

Um no, I don't I haven't heard anything about it, to be honest. I'm I work in a hospital, so you'll know before we will. Yeah, I mean through COVID, we didn't it just sucked.

SPEAKER_04 54:09

I thought Brittany worked at UAB uh when COVID, the the outbreak first started. Yeah, and it was it was bad.

SPEAKER_08 54:16

Yeah, it just sucks.

SPEAKER_04 54:18

But I don't know. I've got my own opinions on that, but I might keep a lot to myself.

SPEAKER_08 54:22

But my my view is like I'm a pretty young, healthy, healthy guy. So it'll be okay.

SPEAKER_04 54:28

Well they're saying, you know, it it wasn't like it wasn't coronavirus, but uh doesn't coronavirus just mean uh multiple viruses? Well it's it's a family, a family of viruses.

SPEAKER_06 54:38

Oh so like the common cold is a coronavirus.

SPEAKER_04 54:42

Right. But uh, you know, people were dying of something, but what it was, I mean who who will ever look I'm not a scientist, okay?

SPEAKER_08 54:52

I'm not a scientist. But all through COVID was the peak of my alcoholism. And all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 55:02

Your blood was tainted.

SPEAKER_08 55:04

All I'm saying is there was a long period of time where I was drinking Everclear on a daily basis.

SPEAKER_04 55:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 55:10

I had COVID. Your body was trying to die that you were flushing. I had COVID four times and was never sick. So I'm not saying there's any correlation.

SPEAKER_07 55:22

Yeah, not a scientist. I'm not encouraging you to drink.

SPEAKER_04 55:25

That's what Danny used to say. He's like, I'll drink those five none natty nattties. He's like, and it just won't let me get sick.

SPEAKER_06 55:34

Well, you know, and it it's actually funny that you guys bring that up, but um there was actually some surveys and stuff done during COVID, and people who consume nicotine on a regular basis. Basically, the how the virus would attach to your T cells. They attach to uh nicotine receptor cells.

SPEAKER_08 55:58

So you're telling me Everclear and the pack of cigs I smoke every day saved my life.

SPEAKER_06 56:02

Saving your life. There's potential. I'm not saying it's I'm not saying it's healthy. I'm just saying, Dr.

SPEAKER_08 56:08

Lane is giving medical advice right now that everyone should drink Everclear and smoke cigarettes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 56:14

I wonder if it's gonna save everybody from the Honda virus.

SPEAKER_06 56:16

That's uh Dr. Uncle Daddy Lane, doctor's fiction author.

SPEAKER_08 56:20

I'm not I'm not not gonna get the Honda virus because I drive a Harley Davis.

SPEAKER_04 56:25

Yeah, the Honda virus.

SPEAKER_08 56:27

Yeah, I do have a Honda. I also have a Honda. Maybe me and Lane are exempt from it. Or maybe it's gonna target, maybe it's gonna target everyone who doesn't own a Honda.

SPEAKER_04 56:39

So because I drive a dodge, am I gonna dodge it?

SPEAKER_08 56:42

No, you're fucked. It's gonna ram into you.

unknown 56:48

Damn.

SPEAKER_06 56:51

I'm screwed.

SPEAKER_08 56:52

Guys, I'm sorry for the dad jokes. We're it's terrible. It's really bad.

SPEAKER_06 56:56

It's been a long weekend. I feel like we get to cut loose a little bit too.

SPEAKER_08 57:00

It has been, man. Y'all uh we've talked about this on the podcast before because I sent y'all a text message Saturday morning, and I kind of felt like an asshole when I sent it to y'all.

SPEAKER_06 57:10

You should have. I looked at it and I was like, man, that guy's a dick.

SPEAKER_08 57:12

But I sent these guys a text on Saturday morning and said, hey guys, look, I I'm not trying to be mean. I'm not trying to do anything. I have worked so much this week and go, go, go, go, go. I'm not doing dick today. And just sent them a message. It's like, hey, I'm gonna be at the house. I got some some stuff I need to do around the house. I got some brush I need to burn because it's been flooding for three weeks now, and there's so many limbs down in my yard. I'm like, I'm gonna have a bonfire. I'm gonna cook dinner. If y'all want to come over, y'all can come, but I'm not leaving the house today.

SPEAKER_07 57:47

House today.

SPEAKER_08 57:49

And uh I'm glad I'm glad that I did it now.

SPEAKER_04 57:53

You feel a little rested up. No, not at all.

SPEAKER_08 57:57

But um I would feel even less if I you know had gone and done. Way worse. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 58:02

I have those days, man, and then we always seem to somehow find our way doing something.

SPEAKER_08 58:10

Well, I almost came out Saturday night. Like, you know, I knew y'all were gonna be hanging out, and I was like, uh, you know, I've laid around all day. I want to go. But then I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 58:19

You you we got it, was it Snapchat from you? Y'all were starting to drink vodka about three eight eight thirty. I all I know, yeah. Y'all y'all started on what was that y'all was drinking?

SPEAKER_08 58:32

Oh my god. So my my lovely wife drinks.

SPEAKER_04 58:36

Please tell the joke that was in your Snapchat.

SPEAKER_08 58:38

Oh my god, dude, it's not PG at all.

SPEAKER_04 58:42

I ran off the road laughing. When when Britt was playing it, and I was like, makes sense.

SPEAKER_08 58:49

It's not PG at all.

SPEAKER_04 58:51

If you do not want to hear a we may be over our time anyway, I don't know if it's gonna make it.

SPEAKER_08 58:55

Just disclaimer if you don't want to hear a PG 13 joke, don't listen. But uh my wife is notoriously a huge lightweight. If you have ever met my wife, she is five feet tall and weighs three pounds. Um and if she drinks two yinlings within the span of six hours, she's stumbling around. Um, she's a lightweight. Well, I was sitting there and um I don't remember why I had that bottle. I was gonna put that bottle in a cooler. I had just put some ice in a cooler, and so I had that bottle in my hand while I sat down to answer the phone or something while I sat it down. She came in and she was like, Oh, we we drinking already. And I said, I said, Well, because you said that, now we are. That's tracks two and three, right? So so I I poured us each a shot. Well, I took it, it's like 70-proof flavored bullshit vodka.

SPEAKER_04 59:49

70 proof is a lot to a lot of people, but when we've been on that 80 to 100 whiskeys, yeah, it's just sorry, I have a problem.

SPEAKER_08 59:57

Um and a solution. So so I took the shot and I pour her one and she gets mad. I just pour like a normal shot, you know, like it's not a it's not full to the brim, it's not half, it's just a shot. And she takes it and starts coughing and kind of like she doesn't gag, but she kind of like chokes a little bit. Well, I start laughing and she goes, What are you laughing about? And I said, Well, you never done that to me.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:29

Just goes to prove that two-inch shot glass is still a lot.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:34

And I said, Well, she said, Yeah, but it was a lot. And I said, That's a lot.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:42

Yeah, so yeah, but I'm sorry that I told that joke, my love. She's gonna be mad at me. But yeah, she's an angel. She can't drink at all, man. She's such a lightweight. But it's one of my favorite things about her. You know, she's a she's a she's a cheap date, and she is the happiest drunk I've ever seen. And it's so cheap, dude. I can get her uh a six-pack of like glass bottle yinlings. That's her weekend. Like she's good to go.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:10

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:11

Three three Friday night, three Saturday night.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:13

Oh no, two and two, and I'm gonna drink the other two.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:16

Did I tell you about the other night when um everybody was over here and your wife was here and she was already very drunk? No, what happened? I must have missed that. So, like, I mean, your your wife and I talk, but we never have in-depth conversations or anything like that. Yeah. And me and I think Alec came around the side of the house and she looks at me and her eyes get big. She goes, Line, I love you.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:45

She's this she's the sweetest person, period. But when she gets drunk, like she never gets angry. She just is happy to be there.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:53

It's hard. You you have to like engage in conversation with her to find out she's drunk because you'll never know.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:58

Yeah. Well, you know, when she's sober, she never shuts the fuck up. This is also not true. This is sarcasm. Absolutely. She speaks three words, you know. Yeah. Um, but yeah, she's awesome, man. She's she's awesome. And I'm the opposite. You know, I I bring a if I show up anywhere, there's a case of beer and a bottle in the car, and I'm gonna it's for me. Like I I didn't bring that for y'all.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:23

Um, keep her roll of duct tape around so we can shut him up from time to time, too.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:28

And if y'all are listening to the podcast, y'all know I don't ever shut up. So nothing wrong with that. I talk all the time.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:34

But well, boys, I think it's been a good week. Yeah. It's been a great week.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:37

It's it's been a good week, man. It's just been it's been a busy one. But Friday, Saturday, Sunday was was a good little decompressed time. And I'm probably gonna use some PT.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:47

Need more of them.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:48

I'm probably gonna use some PTO this time at work or this week at work, I think. I think I'm gonna take a few days. The weather looks like it's actually not gonna be terrible this week.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:56

We're gonna have a clear weekend, and I don't know how to feel about it.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:59

I think we should go on a nice long ride, and I'm gonna put a sidecar on so Lane can ride with me.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:05

Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:07

We're also gonna ride motorcycles.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:13

Who needs more? Ending every day with a trip to the beast.
