Mr.
SPEAKER_02Roberts.
SPEAKER_00Hello, Robert. Hey buddy, how are you? I am living the dream, as they say.
SPEAKER_02You know what, buddy? The dream, the dream. First of all, I think we should send a shout out to our our Thrones of fans. We I don't know how we did this, and but I mean, obviously, we're very, very appreciative of it. We hit 150 downloads within seven days. I think we're at like 172 now, which is just astronomical. And I think I'd have to ask to thank my mom because I think 100 of them are my mom. Yeah. But no, actually, yeah, no, in all sincerity with the the stats and stuff, like we hit 10 different countries, 61 cities. Uh, according to the uh podcast host, it's like a website that talks about you know the um all the dynamics of podcasting. Yeah, any new episode that crosses 100 downloads in its first week places us squarely in the top 25 percentile of all podcasts.
SPEAKER_00Hell yeah. Whoop, whoop, whoop. So shout out to the bad for two dads with no plan, right?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, just talking shit, not not anything else but that. But that is incredibly, incredibly honoring.
SPEAKER_00I thank you all for tuning in, for listening, for sharing, and for all the positive feedback we got.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. I mean, I I've had everything from you know, dude, I love the song at the beginning to you know you say one word too much. And I also have to point out too, I'm gonna give you a big big apology, my boy. Is that I called you the short form of your name last one?
SPEAKER_00The word we shall not say. He called me Tony at the end of the podcast.
SPEAKER_02I know I know, and you know what? Yeah, so it it's it's a it's a sticky situation for Anthony for sure. And I apologize, bud. I guess it must have slipped out, but yeah, I will make that uh yeah, and and and uh an attempt to make sure that I don't do it again. But you know, if I do, I'm just gonna blame it on the brain injury.
SPEAKER_00Yes, of course, 100%.
SPEAKER_02It's all good, it's all good, Robert. So Anthony, it's been two weeks, buddy. What's new and exciting?
SPEAKER_00Well, I actually had nine days off from work, so I've had a bit of my summer break where you know, took uh got some sun rays, uh, did some seduing, did some uh zip lining with my 10-year-old, did uh went to Calypso, which for those who don't know, it's like a water park, you know. So really kind of filled in those days as much as possible. And lucky for me, the sun was out, so I can't complain. Coming back to work though on a Monday after nine days off, I must say, is brutal.
SPEAKER_02You know, what about yourself? Well, I mean, I I live by curiously through you. I saw all the posts you put on uh social media and stuff showing the fun you had, and absolutely, and again, you know, I talked about this in the past where you know you are one of those dads that constantly involves everything with your family. So the whole calypso thing and zip lining, and you know, as much as that's you know, crazy fun for you, and I remember I did the same stuff at one point in time too, but it's also that involvement with your kids, right? So big ups to you, buddy. Good job.
SPEAKER_00Thank you, thank you.
SPEAKER_02Yes, yeah, but come a day when you'll reach my age and you'll be like, Why the fuck did I do zip lining? Because my back is killing me.
SPEAKER_00So hey, listen, I went there to do zip lining, and it turned out that that wasn't available because my daughter wasn't old enough, so I had to do some kind of like tree obstacle course that had zip lining at the end of it, and so instead of just zooming through trees, I ended up doing this like military-style workout in the tree tops. There is that the one where you clip on, you clip off as you're on, lifeline, lifeline, lifeline, and you're all over the place and you're trying to survive, uh you know, and crawling through little wooden tubes by while my knees were like you know, screaming for life.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's when you get that epiphany moment of yeah, you get the epiphany moment of I think I might be too old for this.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, totally. Um good on you, buddy. Good on you. My you know, that moment where I realized I'm old a long time ago. Well, well before this uh zip line adventure.
SPEAKER_02Well, again, big ups to you, buddy, for for doing the stuff with your kids and for your family, man. Because that's I mean, that's part of what we do here, right? Two dads, no plan, and you know, we we live the lives of dads and we we do what we gotta do. So good good on you, man. Absolutely, yeah. And again, I live vicariously through you while I watch you enjoy your time up. I'm assuming it's up at the cottage or something, right? We're up in the thousand islands or whatever it is.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, if if people know uh the thousand islands, it's a beautiful area in the Ganinockway Kingston area, really beautiful. And when when the sun's out, you can't be in a better place in Ontario. 100% and actually the biggest highlight is uh upon our return, we did a three-hour kind of pit stop to go get our goat, our new goat. We have another goat now, and her name is Blossom, and uh she is phenomenal. So we are very blessed to have our new goat at our house keeping us busy.
SPEAKER_02So, do you have a boy and a girl goat?
SPEAKER_00No, we got two girls, Apple and Blossom.
SPEAKER_02Dude, what so for those of you that don't know, Port Anthony is the only testosterone-producing entity in the entire household of Roberts household. So I don't know.
SPEAKER_00I've got my dog, I've got my dog Beckett. Yeah, right.
SPEAKER_02Well, there you go. So not so bad, but I think you're still what, like a 10 to 1 ratio.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. If if things ever go downhill, I'm just grabbing Beckett and we're running out of here.
SPEAKER_02You're a brave, crazy man, buddy. I appreciate yeah. How about yourself? Any gossip? You know what's crazy, dude, is that so we for those that may be tuning in from anywhere else but the Ottawa Valley area, we had a wicked, wicked flash kind of storm on July 1st. Oh, yeah, there was 118 millimeters of rain that fell within a two-hour window, which is a lot. And we had the pleasure of going to our basement and my wife yelling up, oh my god, we're flooded. It wasn't just flooding, it was sewage. So our man, Robert, yeah. So we've spent the last, well, at least I've spent the last couple of days trying to get a hold of insurance, doing all you know, most of the cleanup myself. And of course, in in true, like stupid man mentality, right? There's a reason why women live longer than we do. Yeah, I go racing downstairs, barefoot, no gloves, no, no goggles, no mask, and I'm you know digging out human shit, you know, it's walking around in this brackish water and realizing, you know, this is probably not the healthiest thing. And you know, even though my wife and my son and his girlfriend and the girlfriend's mother were all like, put some boots on, put a mask on. I was so angry and focused on getting rid of that water, it was like Rob versus the flood, right? Oh, yeah, you had a project, yeah. And so I woke up the next morning with a foot fungus, dude.
SPEAKER_00Come on now.
SPEAKER_02No, 100 man, 100 TMI, TMI, podcast TMI. So, for those of you out there, if you're ever thinking about trying to walk through brackish water with human feces, don't do it with boots on, yeah, put boots on, dude. My week was so much better than yours. Indeed, it was, dude. Indeed, it was. But you know what? Still smiling, still moving forward. You know, things can be a hell of a lot worse. That perspective is a uh is a huge thing to have, and yeah, you know, roll with the punches, as they say.
SPEAKER_00Well, just to change the topic from this, you know, put fungus. We did finish off talking about, you know, kind of like man caves or toys, yeah, uh things like that. I really didn't I really do want to dive into that uh topic.
SPEAKER_02Um I was just gonna say it's good that you brought that up because actually some of the stuff I had to toss out in the basement was my collectible stuff, and yeah, it it yeah, the good thing was is that the stuff that's close to the floor that got damaged wasn't really all that expensive, but it was more of just stuff that you know you collect throughout the years and stuff. And I'm uh no, it matters, yeah. I'm a huge uh autograph memorabilia kind of guy, so I have like I'm not gonna explain what I have just in case, you know, for security reasons.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, are you referring to sports?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, 100%. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, I've got everything from footballs and soccer balls and you know, pucks and sticks and jerseys and stuff just signed and you know, set away and stuff. So there was a little bit of discard there, but yeah, man, I I wouldn't have it in a way. I I love the basement. It was the one area in the house when we reconstructed the whole house when we tore it apart, and I said, Hey, I'm gonna pick the color, I'm gonna pick the layout, yeah, yeah, and I'm gonna decorate it. And you know, Mel was amazing. She's like, Go for it, man. So yeah, and but and for from you, I mean, I'm uh so those of you that can't obviously you can't see what you know, Anthony and I are sitting here. Anthony's sitting in front of a wall with some pretty cool ass collectibles behind him.
SPEAKER_00So I my collectibles aren't necessarily valuable, you know. I think there's one of them that may be worth like a thousand, but the rest are like twenty dollars each. I just like them for the covers. I I collect Funko Pops from different like movies and TV shows, mainly because when I look at them, they make me you know think about those characters or the or the show itself, and it puts a smile on my face and it makes for a neat background in my office because I work remotely from home. I have been for the last decade, so it just creates a fun environment for me. I don't feel like I'm in a box. So, no, that's very fun. And uh yeah, I wish I had things of value that would be like really interesting. I think you know, maybe I've got some some sign stuff that may be worth 50 bucks or something like that. But I think the value for me in my collection, it's it's just like my my passion for it. Absolutely. Um, but you know, there's no doubt if I win the 649, there's gonna be some like you know, Iron Man suits in my basement, you know.
SPEAKER_02That would be awesome. That would be awesome. So when you do when you do your your your video chats and stuff with work, do you use that same background? Like you actually have your collectibles behind you?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure I do. I don't I don't do video with with like customers. I it's all it's all internal, so nobody can it's it's totally fine. Otherwise, I can blur it, you know. But what you know what I was gonna say about uh these man caves, though, is my man cave is fully loaded with all kinds of booze, you know, tequila, gin, this and that, blah blah blah. And the irony of having like all that, but no time to do anything about it, no like health to be able to like handle it. Yep, you know, barely any friends that have the time to come and like drink in a basement, yeah. Uh you know, like we're all busy doing life, so it's just so funny how when you're a teenager, you'd kill to have this your own bar with fully loaded, all you can drink, and and now I'm like it's there, but I I'm not gonna touch it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And you know, it's funny because then you get into the whole thing, right? Like, is it a necessity for you or is it overrated? And you know, it's insane is that I I had the exact same thing when we built the basement, we built like a little kitchenette, I guess, if you will, right? And in that kitchenette's got cabinets on top, and I have the same thing, I've got a boatload of booze. Why I keep buying booze and not drinking it, it's that mental thought, too. Like, oh, you know, if so and so comes over, we'll have it for the next and whatever. But I mean, I've got like single malt scotch there that I was like, yeah, I'm gonna get it, and the dudes are gonna come over and we're gonna drink it, it's gonna be great. Nobody comes over to drink it.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I trust me, I I don't know the difference between scotch and whiskey and uh and all these things. I yet I have these bottles here for other people and that no one ever drinks. A bottle of tequila that I'll never drink, you know. I I can't handle that stuff, and all the things I like, nobody else likes. I like Jagermeister, yeah.
SPEAKER_02And you're a port fan too, if I remember correctly.
SPEAKER_00I do like port, yeah. That's a nice G just yift. I I won't just sit there sitting uh plowing down port, but you know, after a nice meal, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_02Although no challenge accepted, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, actually, one of the drinks I had on our trip together that I really liked was some kind of whiskey, something or another, and then they would add the smoke.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it was the smoke.
SPEAKER_00I don't know how they did it there, but that they just added some smoke in it, and it just really added flair to the drink. I don't know if anybody's tried it, but I highly recommend drinks with smoke in them as decor. You don't obviously smoke the smoke, it's more of a visual absolute.
SPEAKER_02Well, it does have that smoky taste to it, too, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, no, no, no, you're right. Actually, you're right. It it affects the flavor a little bit, but you're not sitting there smoking uh the drink.
SPEAKER_02It was actually the two drinks, if I'm remembered correctly. One was the smoked old fashioned and then the smoked whiskey sour.
SPEAKER_00Oh, good memory. I have no idea. I just remember smoke and puntakana.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and in all fairness, so that was a lot of sunshine and that was a lot of booze.
SPEAKER_00So, yeah, no, it's good times. Good times, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Man, we gotta do it again. We gotta go back.
SPEAKER_00I would love to go back to Punta Cana. I think you know, I I did the down south things quite a bit in the last few years, so I think the next one's gonna be more European. Um beautiful, like Italy, Greece. It's on the bucket list for 2027. Not booked, don't have a penny to my name to actually you know do it, but chances are we will pull it out of the hat somehow.
SPEAKER_02You keep buying all the all the goats, man.
SPEAKER_00That's yeah, that's it. Yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll sell a goat, see if they trade in a goat for a plane ticket.
SPEAKER_02We did uh we did a an extended cruise. I think it was 17, 18 days, something like that. I can't remember. We did three weeks all total. Yeah, we did a cruise, European cruise. So we started in Amsterdam, yeah, and uh did everything ended up in Greece. And dude, it is so beautiful over across the pond. It is when they truly say that you know, old world versus new world, man, we are so far behind in so much stuff.
SPEAKER_00So much our priorities are different, that's for damn sure.
SPEAKER_02It just in it really took me, you know, a couple days in Greece, even to get in the whole concept of you know, we go to a shop, it's closed at four o'clock, and I'm like, what the hell's going on? And then you know, at 5 30, somebody comes in and opens the door. They said, Yeah, well, we just go home for dinner and have you know family time. It's like, what? Yeah, yeah. You know, my brain exploded. I'm like, what you don't stay open 24-7? Like, what's going on? You know, so I know, yeah, there are a lot of backwards things, but the great part about it was that so I'm currently in the process of getting my dual passport and my dual citizenship with Portugal. Nice. Uh, the long-term goal is, you know, that we're gonna retire, we're gonna go there, it's gonna be great. But every every country, every city that we stopped in along the cruise must like, we're gonna live here, and then we just it is so beautiful, and it's such an amazing place, and yeah, if you haven't done it yet, dude, I highly recommend it. You're going to absolutely fall in love with Europe, and yeah, man, and everybody up in Europe, big shout out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, no, for sure. I've been to to Lithuania, I've been to Barcelona. Oh, sick, so you have been. So I have been, yeah. I just haven't done the France or Italy or Greece type of stuff.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, I just had a friend come back from Portugal as well recently, and they were describing to me, you know, they're surrounded by you know waterfalls and beautiful islands, and and then they get into a plane and they go to their house, and then across their street is just cars and garbage and noise and traffic. And what the hell am I doing here?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I know it is, it is there, and there were a lot of epiphany moments for me. One of them being you mentioned Greece. So, you know, I walked the placa, got all the way up to the the Parthenon on the top. Yeah, it was a hot day, but I was determined I'm gonna do this, get to the top, looking around, and my mind literally exploded to the thought that I'm standing in a place that was built thousands and thousands of years ago. Yeah, it is still standing, right? It was for a purpose. It is, you know, besides all the you know, the the the weather events, the earthquakes, the the wars, all that kind of stuff. This is this place is still standing. Yeah, and we here in North America, we get excited and we're like, hey, we're celebrating our 150th. Yeah, I know, you know, so it is definitely old world, new world, but yeah, just just incredibly awesome. And yeah, I look forward to going back. So hopefully before we have to retire, because you know, I'd like to stake out some land out there, and you know, it's gonna be great.
SPEAKER_00The funny thing is, and you don't want to do that fatal flaw where you kind of finally get to do that when you're like 85 years old and you're passing out, drooling in your pajamas, you know, you gotta do it while you're still functional. And I think that's something that all of our generations are like the younger generations are way more in tune with than the perhaps generation, like our parents' generation.
SPEAKER_02Of course, of course, of course. I think as we as the generations move on, at least from because my son's in his 30s, the perspectives and their priorities have changed so much differently from ours. Ours were different from our parents as well. But yeah, it's it's you're right. I don't want to be 85 looking at Mel saying, maybe now it's time for us to move.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, after you change my diaper, let's go for a well.
SPEAKER_02I mean, come on, let's be honest. With my luck, it's gonna be a diaper in a month. So uh oh no, no, no, I kid, I kid, I just but yeah, so it I'd like to go out and scope. And the the the funny thing about it too is so as you might remember when we were in uh Dominican Mel trying to speak Spanish.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Okay, it's it's just I mean, and I I love you, babe. You you're an amazing person, but he really does love you. Yeah, the one thing that you lack is your your is your ability to speak other languages. Um what about you? Oh, dude, I'm actually learning, I'm actually doing very well. Yeah, I mean oh okay, absolutely. I'm on uh duolingual every day, I'm you know, advancing in my espanol, estudiar espanhol, and the next will be Portuguese and plus my English and French through school, but Mel's Mel's idea for this retirement thing in Portugal. She was, oh, I wanna I wanna live out in the country, I just want a nice country place. I'm like, baby, you can't even say where's the bathroom in Spanish. How are you gonna manage speaking Portuguese and only Portuguese? And here's her answer you ready for this? She says, I won't have to. I plan on drinking wine the entire time. Why don't you communicate with others? Perfect, yeah. Do your job, Robert.
SPEAKER_00Focus, focus on the task.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so clearly, like, I'm gonna be a guide dog/slash interpreter for my wife while while we retire in Portugal, so I am all for that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. What do you think? Um I am at the point though where my wife and I have agreed that at one point or another we will become snowbirds. Yep. I love skiing, you know, it's all good, but I also can say goodbye to skiing real freaking fast if it involves nice weather. So I can't say it's gonna happen in the next you know, three, four years, but it's it's gonna happen, it has to happen.
SPEAKER_02Oh, absolutely. And and and and and just to to set the record straight, I am a very proud Canadian. I am, you know, uh a patriot. I will bleed from my country. I am so proud to be Canadian. Yeah, uh, the only thing that sucks about being Canadian is our winters, at least in this part of the country, are absolutely brutal. When I say brutal, I mean it's either I think we still have the record for the only city in the world, or at least capital city, that has such an extreme variant of temperatures. So we can get as high as plus 40s with the humidex in Celsius, and we can go as low of the negative 40s Celsius. So it's just such a a shit show when it comes to winter. And dude, I am I'm I'm with you 100%. The minute that first snowfall falls, and most people are like, it's so beautiful, I'm out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. No, if I have the opportunity, I'm out. And and don't get me wrong, our our our summers here are also getting a little messed up. You know, my phone's doing tornado warnings every five fucking minutes. You know, I'm hanging out in my basement with uh cases of water there. I don't know how I ended up in Tornado Valley, but by water you mean corona, right? No, no, I've got a case of water down here. I'm like so paranoid. Uh you know, when they tell me tornado warning and I see like crazy winds outside, I'm like, all right, everybody downstairs. My wife gives me a big eye roll, the kids come running downstairs with me, you know, whatever, man.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and let me guess Aaron's out on the out on the out in the the backyard, like trying to egg on.
SPEAKER_00Whatever, man. She can be upstairs grouting for all I care. Like, uh, I mean, I'm chicken shit Robert, so I'm in the basement. It will not be that like you know, redneck uh upstairs going, I wanted to, you know, save my dog. Nope. I'm downstairs in the basement with my water. Fuck the animals. Totally. No, no, like uh the other day, uh, somebody was asking me like, What uh what what happens to the bunny and and pig and goat when there's a big storm? I'm like, they're out there in their barn. I am Going out there. I'm not risking my life. We will have to deal with that.
SPEAKER_02Take care of the rest. Absolutely. Absolutely. So going back to the the the whole man cave thing. So listen, so we we can actually get fan mail, which is absolutely cool. I didn't notice this, but through our website that this is actually posted on, we actually have a section for fan mail. Nice. So I encourage everybody to send us something. Let us know if you think that it's a necessity. Is it a I don't know, a waste of money? Is it just craziness? And you know what? Or we can even look at the other side of it too. Is that what are they called? The she sheds?
SPEAKER_00She sheds. Oh, like man cave, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Man cave is getting dated. Exactly, right? Exactly. So yeah, is it a necessity? Is it is it good? Is it bad? You know what? Let's hear what you guys think, man, because this could be a very uh polarizing uh topic for some families. But yeah, I've since the since the day I was a kid and I knew I was moving out, I always said to myself, I want my man cave, you know, I want a big ass TV, which I got, I want a base couch, which I got, I have my Xbox, I got my PlayStation, you know, I have everything that I'm honestly self-sufficient down there, with the exception that right now it is full of probably feces and you know, by okay, new world, no more talking about the basement. So my man cave is temporarily out of order until we get some stuff mixed in, but yeah, yeah, 100% man. So, yeah, let us know, people. You know, it's do you approve of man caves? Is it a waste? Is it a necessity? Whatever your opinion counts. So let us know for sure, man. For sure.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, or if you have big parties or how you actually use it, you know, being you know, parents or or older and no longer being teenagers. And you know, I've got a ping pong table, a foosball table, an air hockey table, but all these things, what am I gonna do by myself? Yeah, that's true, you know, and my wife, you know, sometimes she'll come play a game of ping pong with me, but she'll do it for like you know, 10 minutes and then be like, I'm done, and I'm just getting warmed up.
SPEAKER_02But um, you've just done your 10 minutes of stretching and she's ready to leave.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I get I get pumped, you know. So yeah, no, and you know, I always kind of cross in my mind always goes to like hobbies when I think of Man Cave and Toys, right? And uh one hobby that uh you know, just kind of uh integrating into the she shed a hobby that my wife and I really uh loved was oh my god, I am blanking. Um live aquascaping, Jesus. I had landscaping in my mind, and I was like, no, aquascaping. So aquascaping is is think of a like it's fish, so you get different fish, but instead of having like cheap pebbles and plastic, you have like soil with moss and and beautiful plants and uh different stones, like really beautiful stones. And this is outside? No, no, it's inside, it's in an aquarium, like a large aquarium. Um, so it it's basically you you're you're taking care of fish, but you're also taking care of the the life, you're like an ecosystem. The ecosystem, yeah. And so it's called aquascaping. So if you Google that on YouTube, it's a hobby that I would highly recommend, especially for the winter time, you know, when when you have a little more indoor time. It's a hobby I highly recommend, and it takes a lot of knowledge initially, because like even the rock, you can't just put a rock in there, you gotta, you know, let it uh sorry, wood. You can't just throw wood in there, otherwise it'll kill all your fish, you know. So you have to do different processes for different things. So, you know, that's just an example that that anybody can get into, and it's really, really satisfying.
SPEAKER_02Bro, that's actually crazy. I've never heard that before, and I would be probably that person that would spend you know thousands of dollars doing it, and I would literally probably kill everything by putting in a piece of wood.
SPEAKER_00Uh, the fish live a long time. It's the shrimp, man. Shrimp like to die. I had little shrimps in there, and it was super cool, but I really sucked at keeping them all. So, what anyway?
SPEAKER_02I was like, wouldn't you just eat them afterwards?
SPEAKER_00I guess no, no, the little little things, they're really cool, man. Different colors, blue, red, uh, orange. Uh, really, really cool. All right, anybody's looking for a hobby, Google it on YouTube, aquascaping for beginners, and and you will thank me. Guess what I'm doing when we hang up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And and feel free to reach out to the podcast if you need any insight on that.
SPEAKER_02Oh, good point, absolutely. Yeah, that's right, for sure, for sure. Well, you know what, Anthony? Our our half hour just sped by like super crazy. No way, yeah, man. That's that's nutty, but you know, that's that's what do they say? That's Trobiz, right?
SPEAKER_00So, yay, right on, yeah. No, that time went by uh pretty quick. I I have to say I was looking forward to this. Uh I had a lot of fun last week, and then and obviously I'm having a lot of fun right now, and I'm loving the the buzz, and and you know, when I see somebody share and talk about this and message me saying that they've messaged a bunch of people and or saying I can't wait to look to listen to to next week's podcast, or asking me how they can follow us on Spotify. Yeah, you know, it's really fun. And again, I I if this takes off great, and if it doesn't, great. I'm having fun one way or the other, especially I get to talk with you, Robert, and you know, I said this last time, we don't talk that often, you're on the other side of the city, so this is a great opportunity for us to connect on an even deeper level. Yeah, man. And I I'm really excited to see what we're gonna talk about and what we're gonna learn from uh people that do reach out to us with different topics or suggestions, and you know, there's so many things we can talk about technology, politics, sports. I we haven't even tapped into your sports knowledge, brother. So I'm telling you, I'm very excited.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I'm still a little burnt because uh Portugal lost out there yesterday, but you know what? Dumb the beans, but uh you're absolutely right, man. The amount of support, the amount of talk and stuff has just created this crazy buzz. And what's great about this for me too is that you know, you mentioned being able to talk to each other, you know, it's one thing to send texts back and forth, and we'll send memes and stuff, you know, like the normal kind of stuff, but just being able to see each other now and actually talk makes a world of difference.
SPEAKER_00It really does, it adds a layer 100%.
SPEAKER_02100, yeah, exactly. So you're right, you know, this is great. You know, of course, I'd love to see this go in the stratosphere of like you know, thousands and millions or whatever, and you know, as we joked before, having our faces on a bus as it drives by or maybe a bus bench.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. I don't mind doing this podcast in Portugal with you if I done by then you'll just say it in English and I'll just repeat it.
SPEAKER_02It I'll just translate it into Portuguese, so it'll be all perfect.
SPEAKER_00But well, this was fun, Robert. We'll see you in two weeks, and to everyone again, thank you so much.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, everybody, thanks again. Cheers, be well, have fun, enjoy every day because it's not a guarantee. Cheers, peace, buddy, bye guys.
