How much has shit changed in five years?
Speaker 3:A lot.
Speaker 1:Three marriages, Six kids I was going to say how many kids.
Speaker 3:Six Holy smokes.
Speaker 2:Way too many, as Tucker would say yeah, way too many.
Speaker 1:Where's your guys' heads at? How different do you think of a person you are right now versus 2020? Well, that first episode was farting in the mic and I wouldn't be doing that now well the first episode on uh camera.
Speaker 3:I brought a cheeseburger in my pocket and now I brought a bottle of water so that's kind of a big difference we've grown but an adult of you 140 pounds ago, you know yeah, I do look back at some of those photos and I'm like the other was plump dude. Yeah, I gotta get back up there. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I look, um, I look back at some of those clips and I think, as the clips progress, if you just keep scrolling on the tiktok feed, you can like slowly see my hairline just slowly tick backwards. My hair gets a little grayer, rusty and a little crusty. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2:That's going to be something to fight with. It's part of getting old too.
Speaker 1:Do you guys find chunks of stuff in places you never knew would be there? I'm just kidding, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I think it's buildup of wax.
Speaker 1:What Are you? What wax?
Speaker 2:what are you? What I don't know?
Speaker 1:oh, actually, now, okay are you picking at your ears or what everything? Dude, I will say that it's something, something really gross and I think it just comes with age. I had an ingrown hair in my belly button, oh, and I like got the tweezers out, yanked this thing out and it was like the grossest thing ever, just bled like oh wow.
Speaker 3:Gushed open. I had one in my chin one time and it was the most satisfying thing to pull out of my face.
Speaker 1:Just keeps going and going, Dude it was like a good six-incher oh my God.
Speaker 3:It had been there my whole life probably.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah.
Speaker 4:It's like yeah well, it took me, you know I'll explain it.
Speaker 1:Getting right back into this, go ahead are so effing thick yes, like I'll pull oh yeah, look at that, dude. I mean it's just, you get a sliver with that I'm to the birth on that thing.
Speaker 3:I'm to the point where I need to start managing them because they're starting to stick out. I'm like, oh God.
Speaker 2:Wheel. Chalk your vehicle with that thing dude.
Speaker 1:So we got to address the elephant in the room. This is the first time that this group of four on this side of the desk Sam's in the back room at the producer desk right now. This is the first time this group of four has been at this desk in two years, two and a half years.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what would be the episode number that we were in? I have no clue it was in like the 70s 80s, 82 maybe 1982 maybe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was like two and a half years ago that we've all been together. I mean, all of us have been collectively on this side at some point since then, but this is the first time in a long time that it's been us four. So I wanted to take this fifth year anniversary to really just kind of reminisce and just kind of throw it back. Also, we haven't released an episode since like June of 24, right?
Speaker 4:It's been a fat minute.
Speaker 1:It's been a while, so I mean what we've done.
Speaker 4:well, what Sam has has done, I don't even know what the clips are, but he's compiled some of like, uh, like a many greatest hits throughout the years that we've been going if sarah mclaughlin is in the background of this video, it's not gonna be good for me yeah, so I just I wanted to take it back, go back to the dark ages, before I was on the pod and and get the boys reminiscing in the past. We're at we're at five years.
Speaker 1:Baby sam, how long have you been on the podcast?
Speaker 4:um since 2020, the beginning of 2023 dang 23 no way.
Speaker 3:23 maybe 22, yeah, yeah 22 like november of 22 I want to say he came in in somewhere in the 60s like damn it it works.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, everyone was high, I don't even know.
Speaker 3:I kind of was making like a 69 joke or something.
Speaker 1:Lsd was oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, because, um, it was right around there, because, yeah, we were bummed that we didn't have I think s Santa was episode 69. We were supposed to have CPS Dave as episode 69.
Speaker 2:Santa Claus.
Speaker 1:Santa E is still killing it, though.
Speaker 2:Santa E is still killing it.
Speaker 1:I just saw him. Actually, as I was buying this golden light, I thought of our photo shoot that we did with him First time that we ever met him. And I just saw him last week and my kids sat on his lap and I was like God, this is a full circle thing.
Speaker 4:That's crazy.
Speaker 1:I want to say one thing Five years, but Peppa's still looking thick. There's going to be so many people that are like I have no idea. Episode one is still the most watched episode.
Speaker 2:I don't think it is anymore. I don't think it is anymore.
Speaker 1:I was telling Tyler you can finally eat ass oh, boy is that what the vegan is like. Finally, dude it's ass eating season, bro. What do you mean? Finally eat?
Speaker 4:what makes it the season to eat ass uh, it's when it gets cold enough after the first frost yeah, less grainy it's just like rabbits, you can't eat them after, until after the first.
Speaker 3:First frost.
Speaker 1:That's what it is when it's too warm outside.
Speaker 3:It kills all the fleas and ticks. It's all swassy.
Speaker 1:In the winter months. That shit stays fresh all day, wild, absolutely wild. First thing I noticed is like wow, this was even before I would make clips full screen. Second off there's like an outro music to this. What is going on? There, yeah, yeah also at the beginning of tiktok, where all you had was people dancing to uh, terrible. There was no podcast clips on tiktok at that time forefront. That is crazy. Also like we went on a 10 minute conversation about eating ass see, I think that's what the people are here for.
Speaker 4:I mean Tyler's tips on eating ass. Those will never get old.
Speaker 1:Well, that was I mean, I think that is the rule, that's the theory behind it. But I'll tell you what dude. I was snowboarding all day today and Tucker wasn't eating that thing.
Speaker 2:I would have.
Speaker 1:I brought a present, you brought a present, you brought a present.
Speaker 3:Okay, presents already, so I know you're not drinking. If you would like, you might want to try this. Jump off the wagon, or you?
Speaker 1:could just do a little sippy Through the pod. Do a little sippy, and I don't think it would count.
Speaker 3:I've been hunting these down for like a year. I just haven't had the audacity to go get them. I can't even think Abby went up to Duluth and got them. They're in Superior, really, mickey's.
Speaker 1:What is this? Stone Cold? Steve Austin's Broken Skull, damn Broken.
Speaker 3:Skull American Lager. Damn Now, Sam. I knew you were going to be here.
Speaker 1:I didn't even know, so I had to buy another four pack.
Speaker 3:I didn't even know this was a thing that's sick. I saw a video clip like a year ago. I was like he's got a beard called Broken Skull. I gotta try it.
Speaker 1:Smash those over your fucking forehead.
Speaker 2:That's exactly my first thought.
Speaker 1:If you're not gonna partake.
Speaker 3:Abby did get you an NA.
Speaker 1:Oh hey, I've had these, these are good actually, these are really good Are these weak cans so that you can smash them over your?
Speaker 3:head. Yeah, they're perforated, but they are a lager. And the funny thing, the difference between a lager and a cider.
Speaker 1:What's the difference between a lager and a cider? I don't know Really.
Speaker 2:Complete it for the. I don't know If anybody actually listens to this.
Speaker 3:I'm a dad now, oh wow.
Speaker 1:Hey, okay, Then Tucker, you share the joke because I think the people need to know this is a good joke. No, because I'll butcher it. All right. What's the difference between a crab with big tits and a dirty bus stop? I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 3:I've never even heard of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:They'll figure it.
Speaker 1:Google it later Broken Skull Steve Austin, american Lager.
Speaker 3:This lager. This is good, this is really good. I don't know, like, when I'm drinking a lager, I don't know what, what, is that going to be like here?
Speaker 1:it's like a little bit darker lager.
Speaker 3:Okay, it's got that little bite to it, but it's not bad no, it's not bad at all.
Speaker 1:No, it's not that's pretty good. You know what's funny actually, uh yeah let's rewind back to the first couple episodes. The whole idea for this thing is that we were going to have a different beer each week and we were going to rate beers. How bad of an idea does that seem like now?
Speaker 3:I mean not horrible if we would have stuck to that format, but we lost that right there.
Speaker 1:I think it was just in the podcast that was in the name, like on tap, like we're going to drink beer the entire time.
Speaker 4:Dude, I love the old school reviews you guys used to do in the first couple episodes.
Speaker 1:I was a fan yeah we would always talk about what we're drinking and we'd froth it. I'd give this an eight, yeah it's good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is good, it's good.
Speaker 1:Just a good all-around drinker. How about price point? What's that scale? I don't know.
Speaker 3:My wife bought it. Wow, rich Times are great, tyler. What's it?
Speaker 4:going to take for you to smash one over your head and slam it.
Speaker 1:Dude, I don't think this is that. I said I'll start drinking again at Tucker's bachelor party. That's my rule and I'm sticking to it.
Speaker 2:Well, it's a good thing. Your bachelor party is February 22nd.
Speaker 1:It's not coming up. He said it's. It's not his bachelor party.
Speaker 4:I'll just say it is it is Fair enough it's his bachelor party.
Speaker 1:So we started out doing beer reviews and then it morphed into what? What did the podcast turn into? Kind of current event bullshitting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1:The Florida man of the Week.
Speaker 2:Eating ass, whatever is on our mind at that time.
Speaker 1:Yep, yeah, that's God. What at that time? Yeah, yeah, that's God. What a weird time. Tucker's farting in the mic. Yeah, very first episode, very first, yeah.
Speaker 4:You know, I actually have a clip that I think will really go good with this conversation to bring us back to the early times where it was a wild time of the Internet. We're dealing with COVID, so I think this is going to fit in Nice God dealing with COVID. So I think this is going to fit in nicely.
Speaker 1:Oh God, you were telling us about some chick like bottling up her farts and selling them.
Speaker 3:She gets 50 K a week selling her farts in a jar 50 K a week for farts.
Speaker 1:How many farts a week is that? The math isn't adding up, she's just a fart machine.
Speaker 3:Her name's Stephanie Maddow, she's 31. Okay, and she has her home X-rated site called Unfiltered, without the E in it.
Speaker 1:So are you saying these are raw dog farts, not through any sort of cloth?
Speaker 2:Unfiltered, so there could possibly be poop in there?
Speaker 3:There most definitely is.
Speaker 1:That's the end of the clip. There's nothing better than laughing at yourself.
Speaker 3:Oh Chaz, you know all about that.
Speaker 1:Nothing more depressing. Do you guys listen to the old episodes? I haven't in a very long time that's crazy, you haven't.
Speaker 3:I listened to the one that he sent us, and that is what made me like we gotta do this which one did you? Send. I can't remember, but I was listening to all of us and I was like this is hilarious, because I don't know any of the jokes coming. But when you guys say something I will be like in my head about to say something, and then that time me will say it.
Speaker 1:Dude, for me, like I, my Spotify will randomly, when I finish like a podcast, it'll randomly start playing an on tap episode. Yeah, and it's like it's like a fucking time machine for me, like my whole mindset goes back to like I'm like damn, you're reliving this moment like you saw it, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's like unlocking this exact moment, because it's my thoughts, my voice, it's. It's wild, this really weird experience that I feel like nowadays a lot of people will be able to do that because everything's recorded, but it's pretty crazy. Yeah, it is weird. It's really strange to hear like the the me personally, when I ever hear old clips or or go back to old episodes, I just am teleporting myself back into exactly what I was thinking in that moment because I remember it. When I'm hearing it, I'm like, oh my god, I thought about things totally different. I feel like I was a different person. Well, back then, I thought that this podcast wouldn't ruin my future.
Speaker 2:That was a mistake. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember thinking to myself I don't even care what's out there. Seriously, I literally could care less, because I will never have a corporate job. I will never be in a position where I need to save face. And now I'm literally in the most corporate job I've ever had in my entire life the most white collar guy. I know no way. I guess Slick is more white collar, slick's way more white collar.
Speaker 4:Shout out, slick. That brings us back to a time too, yeah for real.
Speaker 1:We had him on how many times? Once, twice, something like that Flashback to early episodes. I don't remember where I was going with that Roll, that clip.
Speaker 2:So you know, this one is in honor.
Speaker 4:One of our brothers is not here today. Mitch could not make it. He's in Montana sledding. So this clip, you know, in honor of sledding season, this one's for Mitch.
Speaker 1:Like a little kid with a toboggan. He's just going hill to hill, poor guy.
Speaker 3:Oh jeez, oh Lord, Socking a beer Then Tyler, oh Lord.
Speaker 1:Sucking a beer, then Dialer oh God. I like the angle switch.
Speaker 2:This is well done High quality.
Speaker 1:Did you edit this? No, oh nice, I did good. I'm actually very proud of that editing.
Speaker 3:That is good. I love how you leave us waiting with the impact. Oh yeah, I don't even want people to hear it.
Speaker 1:I'm actually very proud of that editing that is good, I love how you leave us waiting with the impact. I don't even want people to hear it because I'm happy I don't hear it yeah, oh my God, I think that's the most concerned Tucker's ever been for me. I'm like he might care about me. I don't.
Speaker 1:No, that was a bad decision. I remember being on that trip and I was like I'm, that was a bad decision. I remember being on that trip and I was like I'm going to get some content. I mean, that was at the forefront of the mind at the time. Yeah, we're like, we're going to do this thing. Tucker's the one that fucking had me do it. What was the point? No, no, no, I'm sorry. I should not have said that. Yeah, it was my idea, but you just ran with it.
Speaker 1:I was like, yeah, we got to do it. We got to hit the fresh stuff. It'll be a better video that way. Oh, I'll go naked and act like this is going to. I don't know. It just kept snowballing in my head. Too much lack of oxygen.
Speaker 2:I think with the elevation.
Speaker 1:Too many beers too. We were tearing it up in the bar before we went back To be fair, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 2:Tucker told you not to 100%. 100% he did.
Speaker 3:I said land here or land here, and he landed right in the middle of those, because I went and walked it I was like where's the fresh snow? Does that have any lasting repercussions?
Speaker 1:My ankles still pop sometimes, like randomly, it'll pop and I'll get some pain, yeah, but so does your bussy.
Speaker 3:Does it?
Speaker 1:start stanky lagging in Walmart.
Speaker 3:Oh no, it just pop. Oh sorry.
Speaker 2:It starts twerking.
Speaker 4:Tyler quit it, we're in.
Speaker 1:Walmart. Hey, can't fight the urge All right boys.
Speaker 4:I hope everybody had a great Christmas. You know it's that time of year, spending time with the family, getting new gifts. So I want Tucker to bring us back into a time where he enjoyed family Christmas Before kids.
Speaker 1:I don't like this Tucker bought himself an adult Christmas gift and bought the Oculus. I had family game night or whatever and I was showing him it and I was just dick punching it. I was like dude, I'm jerking this guy off.
Speaker 2:I thought it was so funny and then no one else was laughing.
Speaker 1:You can't even see them, so you're just jerking them off in your virtual reality and your family's just watching you jerk a guy off. I forgot how embarrassing that was, thanks for that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you can tell You're a red as hell telling that story.
Speaker 1:That was so funny, I forgot all about that.

Speaker 4:Yeah, I just wanted a little touch of Christmas and I thought that would bring all the boys together.

Speaker 4:I have another surprise for you guys, because you know I don't know if people know this, anyone that's local Pine City has homeless people now.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I've just seen them actually on the way here.
Speaker 4:We're starting to feel a little bit more like the cities. It's like the new White Bear Lake. So I want us to go back to a time you know we're a small town and we respect that and Tyler did a good job representing that back in the day.
Speaker 1:If I say something racist, this is going to be bad. I racist, this is gonna be bad. I don't think there was ever any clips of anything racist. No, thank god. But you definitely said something. Oh hell, yeah, dude my head, we stand for the flag dude.

Speaker 3:Are you sitting there like, oh, that's a bad cut? Yeah, just thinking about production and how things are made.
Speaker 1:Everything that I watch I like. Oh that you know they did this and this. It's like this sucks taylor taylor cannot stand watching movies with me, because I'll be like, oh, wow, okay. So in order for them to cut to this, they had to like reposition, like this and and I'll like re, I'll pause and rewind and be like, okay, if you look when, when they're pointing at her right here and they flash back, her hair is in a totally different position this is a totally different cut I will notice shut up when they're, when they're like doing one angle of somebody and then obviously they're on the other side of the person yeah, you know it's a totally different shot yeah I'm always like how long did they wait between takes it the next day for shooting?
Speaker 3:yeah, what changed?
Speaker 1:try to pick it up, or like the starbucks cup in game of thrones.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, you know I love little stuff like that. Stuff like that sneaks through.
Speaker 1:Yeah, taylor hates it, taylor hates it, but this is what I'm looking at, when I'm seeing these clips, I'm like, yeah, dude, I remember that conversation being like 10 minutes, and to cut it down to 30 seconds back then but you did good, was like to me that is manual labor yeah, now you can just type into AI.
Speaker 2:Make this an entertainment and it, does it for you, dude that's the thing too.
Speaker 1:That's like every clip you see now on Instagram, tiktok, it's like a Reddit story copied and pasted into 11 labs and it's like did you know there was once this guy that?
Speaker 3:did this. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:The AI voiceovers drive me nuts. It guy that did this. The AI voiceovers, drive me nuts.
Speaker 3:It's so obvious, but I don't think we're far off from not being able to tell, like an AI audio description of a video. Yeah, the man was making a car.
Speaker 1:Oh, dude Jesus, Did you know, in order to make a banana, all banana trees have to grow at least four feet?
Speaker 3:And here I am watching the whole damn thing. Oh, the whole thing.
Speaker 1:I don't know how easy making the car I'm like. This is so dumb. All right share.
Speaker 4:Dude. What gets me is sometimes I'll be really fucking high and it'll be one of the. It'll be like a Joe Rogan clip with the AI Joe. Rogan's voice over it and he'll be saying some crazy shit. It'll get me so bad, dude. It's honestly sad and pathetic, but fucking A man.
Speaker 1:My new favorite thing I can't remember the name of the Instagram account. It's making the Hawk to a Girl seem like super smart. Where she's like talking about trigonometry. That was so good With Logan Paul the trigonometry With Logan.
Speaker 1:Paul, so funny, it's so funny. It's like Logan. How can we calculate a launchable box sliding down this triangle? Well, first we have to soak a toe on that thing. Shut up, dude. If we calculate the math and ignore friction, we can get it by this equation. But it's like AI over her face. It's Pretty good. Oh my God.
Speaker 3:It's so funny. There's an actual guy who does something like that. He'll have shapes and stuff. I actually watch it. I don't know why. I have no interest in math, but the way he delivers it every time I'm like I'm going to watch this whole thing Because it'll be like solve for X. But it's ridiculous how you get there. Yeah, in the shape, and he's like well, we know this, we know this, and he goes through and he hits you with pi and then the whole thing and I'm like sitting there just brainlessly like okay, I don't remember that I learned that at some point.
Speaker 1:I would have got there. No-transcript Dude. I probably sat there for like an hour and a half.
Speaker 3:What did they write on the tree at Roanoke? I don't even remember. Was it Sokotoa Roanoke?
Speaker 1:Roanoke Island. There's a colony that went in this one what? Or Oak Island, no idea, there's a colony that wouldn't miss.
Speaker 3:Oh yes, what did they write on that tree?
Speaker 1:I feel like it was close to Sokotoa Sounds right. I'll look it up.
Speaker 2:What's Sokotoa? Maybe Groovenberger?
Speaker 1:We'll never know Opposite over adjacent sign is Opposite over hypotenuse. Cosine is opposite over Tree carving Adjacent over hypotenuse. We're getting there dude, Whatever Just the word crow.
Speaker 3:I was way off. Yeah, close, close, close.
Speaker 1:Croatoan.
Speaker 3:Croatoa, yeah, croatoa.
Speaker 1:The cryptic word Croatoan was found carved into the palisade.
Speaker 3:So Catoa.
Speaker 4:Croatoan. See I had photomath when I was in high school, so I never even learned that shit. What the fuck does? That mean oh dude, you just had to take a picture of it and it would solve any equation, anything you had, it was awesome.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. You had that when you were in school.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, it started when I was like a sophomore. What do they got now? Oh God, oh god, dude, you can chat.
Speaker 1:GPT anything? How do we?
Speaker 4:do homework anymore. Sam, how old are you right now? 25.
Speaker 3:He was talking.
Speaker 1:He's the same age as when we started. That's a good point. That's weird. I was 24.
Speaker 3:I was 25.
Speaker 1:I think I was 24.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. You all were 24. I'm older by just a little bit.
Speaker 1:You wouldn't know it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I look older, cody looks 65.
Speaker 3:Okay, so we were talking about this earlier. We're at the bar and, uh, we were talking about hairlines. Then we talked about yours and I said well, here's the beauty of Cody is we'll be, you're gonna look this age for so long that we will surpass you and you then, in our memory, we'll expect he still looks 25.
Speaker 2:Yeah, true, he hasn't aged a damn year.
Speaker 1:I don't know, dude, I think I'm still going to look, 40 when I'm you know.
Speaker 3:No, you'll gray out and you'll hold the line, and then we'll be 60 and you'll be 30.
Speaker 1:You think it can get worse. Yeah, what? What can get worse? You, you think?
Speaker 3:it can get worse.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, what. What can get worse? You're at the bottom. I'm noticing every day.
Speaker 1:I have a white one in my mustache right now, and a couple white ones in my beard. White.
Speaker 3:It's coming quick. Same, if you go white, I might change teams. You should try.
Speaker 1:You should try to order the 55 plus menu at Perkinskins and see if you do it, because I work with a guy that's like 42. Yeah, he orders 55 plus every time. They never question him. He looks old cody's 29, I know, but hey, I think you you try it like every five years and see when you're able to do it maybe I'm not saying you look 55.
Speaker 2:I don't want to say that okay.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you. But also, if you say it confidently enough and then somebody be like man, he looks good for 55, yeah well, when you're normally you're not 55 and this fit and handsome that would throw him off right away.
Speaker 1:That's why I definitely leave the kids and wife at home yeah, they'll be like oh, he's over 55, he just takes care of himself, that's why he looks so good. So it'd be a compliment and an insult also. Or maybe maybe you bring taylor and the kids and say this is my, this is my daughter and my grandkids. That might work. That honestly, probably would work at some point. There will be a time when someone asks if that's my daughter I guarantee it.
Speaker 1:I guarantee it actually. This reminds me when, when we had first started dating me, when, when we had first started dating or not, when we had first it was like a year or two into us dating, I had shaved my head bald for that video that we did dude, that's so and um, I just had a mustache, and that is when I look really old like I genuinely look old, 100 and so, um, taylor's grandma has this electronic picture frame that you can every.
Speaker 1:All the grandkids were sending photos to it, and so it was like a picture that Abby took of Taylor on my back, like I'm giving her a piggyback ride.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And it was like nice photos.
Speaker 3:Engagement Like a nice. Those were your engagement photos Right before that.
Speaker 1:Okay, so she's, it's like a nice photo and her cousins, who I had never met they live in Florida were looking at this picture frame. They're like who's this old man with Taylor? They had asked her grandma and she's like that's her boyfriend.
Speaker 2:They're actually the same age, or so we're told.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So yeah, you know, I'm aware that I look older than what I am, I think, hey don't be too hard on yourself, buddy, no.
Speaker 3:I think you're going to. No, you look good Like. I said I think you're going to hold that line forever and pass.
Speaker 1:It's just low-hanging fruit for me.
Speaker 3:I mean, I got a couple whites showing up and I'm like I actually would like to go. White hair I showing up and I'm like I actually would like to go white hair.
Speaker 1:I'm reminded of it every single day.
Speaker 4:Us fatties have to get you where we can.
Speaker 1:Hey, listen, if you want to get fit and handsome, I'll start up a course.
Speaker 4:I'll start up a course of some sort.
Speaker 1:Have you guys heard of this, the new Mr Beast? He's doing a video right now where he put a guy in a circle and he can't leave until he loses 100 pounds.
Speaker 2:No way.
Speaker 3:Yeah, whoa.
Speaker 1:So, he has a whole gym inside the circle and a trainer and shit, oh wow.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I heard about that. On Theo Vaughn yeah, he mentioned it.
Speaker 1:He leaves and he doesn't get any money, or he loses 100 pounds and gets all the know. It's got to be significant.
Speaker 3:I would assume, pretty significant.
Speaker 2:Have you guys any? Have you watched any of that Beast Games? I have. I just watched them all today. It's wild, they're so psychological dude, it's wild.
Speaker 3:I could not dude once. I would have burnt all them people for a million dollars there yeah 100%, there's no counting down.
Speaker 1:I've been like, yeah, I don't know any of you and I get to still play, you get to stay that's the part I actually would have preferred to leave right, you get one fifth of the entire pot that you're gonna do crazy shit, yeah, anyways you're just letting all your competition stay imagine the death threats if you, oh yeah, all I could think they'd be,
Speaker 1:fantastic all I could think about is looking down at those people and say 99, 99.9% of these people looking back up at me that are begging me not to hit this button, would hit this button.
Speaker 3:Yes, that's a good point. You know what that did give me faith in humanity right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were cool about it they had a word.
Speaker 1:They were like they picked the right person. Yeah, they did yeah.
Speaker 3:You would. Yeah, they did, oh, yeah, what you would hit it. Oh, I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, I had a million bucks.
Speaker 1:So the whole deal was that they everyone else on their team would get eliminated.
Speaker 2:Well, do they hit the?
Speaker 1:one guy that denied it got out the next challenge.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like you gotta be kidding me. Everybody in that box. You're like no, everybody in the box, I sacrifice their fucking selves. He was just like integrity.
Speaker 4:Integrity Fuck your integrity.
Speaker 1:Did you hear him?
Speaker 3:Did you hear what he said when he got out? He was like I was fine before this, I'll be fine after. I'm like dude. What the fuck Prevocation? I guess.
Speaker 4:Or the evil gay guy I'm not going.
Speaker 2:That was crazy dude, I knew it. I had a feeling he was snarky.
Speaker 4:We're back.
Speaker 1:We are so back.
Speaker 2:Hey, you know.
Speaker 4:I can't think of a better time to introduce this next clip. I know this is you know we talked there's been six kids couple marriages. This really helps kick it off for us. Brings us back to a time highlighting gay dudes.
Speaker 2:Oh great.
Speaker 1:Oh yes.
Speaker 2:Yes, I ordered a clown to come to my best friend's bachelor party.
Speaker 1:What do you think? Turn the music off. Turn the music off. You look so young. It did.
Speaker 2:How's everybody doing today? Oh my god, right here.
Speaker 3:Are you, cody.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Where's Cody at? This is Cody, right here.
Speaker 3:We're just all.
Speaker 2:Cody, I heard it's your last night to have some fun together, so why don't you?
Speaker 3:just dance with me and maybe get a kiss. What you look so nice over there when you're so far away from me.
Speaker 2:Look how much you hate this.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God, I can feel it through the video how much cringe I had going through my body, cody. I remember.
Speaker 4:I will never forget this. It was right after it. You told me you're like dude, I'm not homophobic. That made me feel so weird. I questioned myself, not in a gay way, but your homophobic ways.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it made me think, like, am I actually okay with this? I've always thought that I'm so accepting, I'm just such an accepting guy, but I was so not okay with the way that he was talking to me.
Speaker 3:The second he talked to you, you were like maybe marriage is between a man and a woman. That was a joke.
Speaker 2:This separation between church and state yeah.
Speaker 1:The clown was there for like 10 minutes 15 minutes.
Speaker 2:It might as well have been two hours.
Speaker 1:The longest 15 minutes ever, and that was the least amount of time I could buy. I wish. I could buy five minutes.
Speaker 3:We ended up seeing him again, right? Yeah, he bought them again for him For Tyler's birthday Because he thought he was going to get me back.
Speaker 1:That was beautiful. I was pissed about that because he put through all of our supporters and the people that paid to be there and they hated it. Oh yeah, there were some people that were so upset. My, my grandpa was there. He's like, yeah, it was a good tournament, but uh, could have done without the clown. You should have done that after the awards so that we could leave if we wanted to. Yeah, and I think that's so much better.
Speaker 1:That's great, like a lot of people felt that way it was funny for the first like 10 seconds, and then everyone else was like not laughing sitting in the back.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because it could only be so.
Speaker 1:Oh so much, so long, you know, yeah, you never realize how long 15 minutes is until you're getting a lap dance from mario and luigi I'll figure out if'm going to bleep out his name this episode or not, but I still have not said his name on the episode. I don't want to give him any publicity.
Speaker 2:Oh, I said it.
Speaker 1:We'll see People might know who it is. That shit wasn't good Beep.
Speaker 2:Shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, you know.
Speaker 3:I didn't like that. You talked about it for a while after, yeah, and you it tore you up a little bit. You were very introspective about it at the time. You're like why didn't I like that? You're very, why was I so upset?
Speaker 1:tyler paid for cringe comedy, but but here's the best part. We got, yes, what we got.
Speaker 3:We'll do that. But then, like what was it? An hour later we were sticking a cigarette or a cigar in Darwin's butt.
Speaker 2:And that was okay.
Speaker 3:We're not homophobic, don't fall asleep.
Speaker 1:That's on you, dude.
Speaker 3:We're going to use you as a bong.
Speaker 2:You know, boys.
Speaker 4:I feel like this one goes along with friendship and pranks and I think this ties in really well with and Tyler's going to love it.
Speaker 1:I'll be the judge of that. So we tried beating Tyler. Some laxatives Put a half gallon of chocolate milk on a 90 degree day, just super refreshing, and he thought it was suspicious right away. He's like, no, I'm not gonna take it. No, it's like you guys take a drink out of it. First I did take a little sip. I'm like, whatever, a little sip's not gonna do anything not too long later I was in pancakes top branch of devil's lake so I have a theory about that.
Speaker 3:I think it probably all rose to the top.
Speaker 2:Was it a powder? It was never mixed.
Speaker 3:Yeah it never mixed in there. So when you took your Swig you got most of it.
Speaker 1:It was probably less dense than the chocolate milk, so it all just moved.
Speaker 2:Was it liquid or was?
Speaker 3:it like a powder, I don't remember it was a liquid, but we did shake the shit out of it. I do remember that, don't matter how much you shake it all all I could think was just like this was psychological. It's a non-anxious solution you know, oh, you made yourself. Yeah, yeah, you were nervous literally.
Speaker 1:Like you know, I put it up to my lips and took just the tiniest oh, that was all in your head.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I was a hundred percent. It was gazebo I hate that.
Speaker 1:When the gazebo you got Robinson Park, that sucks blow my funny fuse who else drank out of that? Me and Talby? And Talby also was shitting too, was he not?
Speaker 2:I don't remember all I could.
Speaker 1:I think it was everyone except tyler just flat and shit once he hit the water hey dude, you can't shit.
Speaker 3:You can't shit liquid if you're always shitting I didn't know a difference.
Speaker 1:Yeah it actually. Yeah, it actually tightened me up. That was pretty unhealthy.
Speaker 4:Speaking of drinking.
Speaker 1:Oh God.
Speaker 3:Oh, look at that beautiful man.
Speaker 2:Oh, dear Lord.
Speaker 1:Oh, there's a gulp.
Speaker 3:Look at him, take bites. Those are gulps. Those are gulps. Yeah, I was swallowing it whole. Dude look at ya.
Speaker 1:And then I shotgunned that Natterdays mixed With SpaghettiOs.
Speaker 2:To try to make it thinner?
Speaker 1:No, limit, and then I puked it all up.
Speaker 2:It was on the episode For like $200.
Speaker 1:It was like $200, right. And then Caleb took $100 back yeah, cause Caleb was giving me a ride home that night and that motherfucker told me it was $100 to. And then Caleb took $100 back yeah, because Caleb was giving me a ride home that night and that motherfucker told me it was $100 to go home. So he took his money back. I wouldn't have given him $200 back. Yeah, I should have just drove.
Speaker 1:He was chasing me around with his puke bucket and I'm gagging. There's a video somewhere of this. Yeah, he's chasing me with this bucket and I'm like do it. Colton's feeling it now SpaghettiOs and pukes floshing around in this bucket. All right, Dalton doesn't like this. Dunkey's not happy.
Speaker 2:His eyes are watering Sure.
Speaker 4:So, to take away the moment, you know Dalton needs a second to reset I want to bring us back to a time where Cody had twice the hair and half the brain.
Speaker 1:I've doubled in brain size is what you're saying. I'm a smart guy now Been handsome, that's for sure, damn. You said the oh yeah, Wine the wood. I told him back with Honey Berry he brings me what did I? Just say wood, jesus Christ. Maybe we should just try black and mild wine flavor. That's the whole clip it makes no sense.
Speaker 2:I literally forgot what I was saying mid sentence mid sentence.
Speaker 4:I do remember this.
Speaker 1:I was so drunk. That was the, the episode that should have been scrapped. Yes, that's the name of it, mid-sentence. I do remember this. I was so drunk.
Speaker 4:That was the the episode that should have been scrapped.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's the name of it. That's right, and Ben Solum came all the way from Grand Forks for that drove five hours to come on the podcast and we started drinking when he got there at like 9 am and we didn't record until like 5 pm.
Speaker 2:Got there from work, yeah, and we were hammered.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I told Caleb, the only way that you can come on this episode is if you do a submarine right now. And so he smokes a joint, shotguns a beer, and then that's how we started and everyone was on 20 levels different than Tyler.
Speaker 3:Oh man, I mean, it's crazy. I'm just out of place. It's pretty funny how fast it seemed like part of the sentence. You're just like da-da-da-da-da. What was I saying I?
Speaker 1:lost it.
Speaker 3:You were like help.
Speaker 2:Dude that happens.
Speaker 1:Ben Solomon and I went to the dollar store and bought every single vase that they had on the shelf.
Speaker 2:What the?
Speaker 1:fuck, do you say like that Is that what happens when you're 30? I'm 29. Yeah, Bought every single vase on the shelf I think it was 54 of them and we would open a beer, fill up the vase and then, as soon as we were done drinking it, we would break it on the ground. Every beer that's right in the corner, Every glass, everywhere Huge mound of glass by the end of this episode, but it sounded so good on the mic.
Speaker 3:It did sound crispy, so crisp it sounded fake. Give me a glass. I like this.
Speaker 2:It was a good time. It was back when we were in a basement.
Speaker 1:We need to go back and do a basement. It was nice when we didn't give a fuck. The next studio is going to be in my basement. I'm going to I'm sure Two podcasts in one.
Speaker 3:Us and the Echo.
Speaker 4:So our next clip. It brings us back. We need a little bit of Jesus in our life. The boys at this time were in a bad spot and, honestly, this is one of my all my all time favorites.
Speaker 1:I learned a lot from this dude the difference between Catholics and Lutherans is that the Lutherans don't do the snacks and shots in the middle of the but the Catholics do all of the fucking shots when they're outside of church we get to rail some fucking red water and have the little snacks. I want to be clear. I purposefully say shit dumb for a clip. It's beautiful this is a methodical and it is a thought process to say things like that. I understand it's a eucharist, understand it's I am religious.
Speaker 3:It's to a certain extent, yeah, the, the um. It's like, uh, the shock of it. Yeah, yeah, you should be talking like that about that, but it makes it funny.
Speaker 1:Exactly like the eating ass eating season. There was thought behind the shit.
Speaker 3:I reacted the exact same way that I did in that clip Pounded the table, covered my face.
Speaker 1:So that was Garrett the Trailer Trash Tequila Connoisseur, I think was the name of that episode. That was the episode Garrett the Trailer Trash Tequila Connoisseur, I think was the name of that episode.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was an episode.
Speaker 1:And he shortly after that went to rehab and he is off the piss now for I think probably since then. Hell yeah brother.
Speaker 3:That's awesome, Good to hear Hanging out with him there and what we experienced and saw. That is a man that did not need to drink.
Speaker 1:We drank a lot. Oh, dude, that was bad. We can look at it two ways Either we were his rock bottom or we made him realize that he needs to better his life.
Speaker 2:I think we were both.
Speaker 3:However you want to look at it? Yeah, I mean, I'm not here to judge a man, but we saw that.
Speaker 1:I'm happy for him. Yeah, it was rough. Boy was fighting some demons at that point. Well, I think he was very nervous.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Like. I don't know if he thought we were famous or what I think everybody did at that time. Yeah, we were the only people at the podcast, even me. I thought I was famous.
Speaker 3:Even me, yeah, Got up looked at me and you're like, yeah, babe, I'm going to do the podcast now. Oh man.
Speaker 2:Next time you see me.
Speaker 1:I'll be fucking drunk.
Speaker 2:It's going to be sweet. Trust me, you're going to love it.
Speaker 1:All of these hundred people are going to be so laughing. Oh shit, Sammy, how many other clips do you have? Is there a bunch more?
Speaker 4:I got two more. Actually, I got three more.
Speaker 2:Oh gosh.
Speaker 1:Tyler's not going to like this. That's how you lead in this. Where's Dalton's?
Speaker 3:Dude, I love how it's targeting you.
Speaker 1:Well, this is what all the fucking clips were Because I was so smart with the content you were funny. I mean, you are funny now, but that was like a lot of what the episode was based around, you were quick with coming up with these bits.
Speaker 3:That was Lookout Feature you know what I thought about the other day was my horrible opening. What did I say? It was like when I bashed on Grantsburg chicks. I tried making a joke right away to bring us in and I made some garbage joke about girls from Grantsburg and none of you laughed.
Speaker 2:Then we just rolled it.
Speaker 1:I don't even remember.
Speaker 3:And you were like, when we came back in, you were like yeah, if you'd have ran that by me first, we probably could have helped you. I was like fuck. I do not remember that Ever since then, it's always been who wants to bring us in, and I'm over here like not me.
Speaker 1:Not doing it? Damn Wow. I feel really bad about that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, If you'd have clipped it, I would have been like look.
Speaker 1:I feel really bad about that. That sounds like it would have been a great clip.
Speaker 3:It was I thought it was funny. I was like shit, Shit, dude.
Speaker 1:Tell us the joke.
Speaker 3:I don't remember it. It was just some generic joke about Grantsburg girls or something, I don't remember.
Speaker 1:This is coming to the hot tub. Gotta go to the cricket. After this, I gotta do a coming hot tub with my mom. It's two shots, play it again. Play it again. Gotta go to the cricket. After this, I gotta do a common hot tub with my mom.
Speaker 3:It's two shots. It's Cody's face that I love.
Speaker 1:I remember this exact moment Because this was when we had the producer desk Off to the side and it was raised up.
Speaker 3:And.
Speaker 1:Jake was up top at the computer and I'm like I'll look at him and he looks at me. He's like I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3:He was coming to the hot tub with my mom and dad.
Speaker 4:Quite the shot choice to do with your folks.
Speaker 1:Well, it's got a fun name. It's a good time you can see our trophy there, the sixth place.
Speaker 3:The sixth place beer Olympics.
Speaker 1:Wait, we got first. I was going to say I thought you guys won Do we just steal the sign, then we got the sign for winning first. I thought.
Speaker 3:So we have a. It's not an aura frame, but it's a Google Home and it does the same thing. Our photos cycle through and there is the photo of me and you. You're looking through the camera.
Speaker 1:You're dressed like dads.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and you got on me and we're both like yeah, dude, Every time I'm like I'm never taking that photo.
Speaker 1:That's awesome, dude. I love that. You should send me that photo, get it framed, Put it up on the wall.
Speaker 3:It was me, you, darwin and Jake.
Speaker 1:Yes, and we absolutely dominated. It wasn't even close.
Speaker 3:And then someone from high school called me Dalton Johnson.
Speaker 1:That got dead.
Speaker 3:I was like what dude.
Speaker 4:What.
Speaker 1:What you should have farted in the mic.
Speaker 4:This clip is not embarrassing to anybody. It might not be the funniest, but I think it gives us a good perspective Of who Tyler used to be and the type of memories he was trying to make.
Speaker 1:Oh man, he was trying to make.
Speaker 3:I don't know what that means. You just have like 20 tabs open over there.
Speaker 1:A month ago I picked up a freaking hitchhiker as we were driving down the road. He said he was right up there on the right. Next thing you know he's had me pull into a farm that this guy was just stuck in all night and was going through all this shit. He was really sketchy so I pulled him out. I shouldn't have pulled him. I shouldn't have pulled him. I shouldn't have pulled him. I should have called the cops right away.
Speaker 1:And right after I pulled him out, homeowner rips up in the driveway and parks in front of me. I just get out of the car instantly and I'm like I have nothing to do with this. I'm so sorry. I just picked the hitchhiker up. I don't know what's going on. You said that to him, yes, and all of a sudden the hitchhiker's freaking out. He's like dude, don't call the cops. I got warrants and shit. And this guy rips back to his car, gets in his car and I get in my truck to block him off, ripped out of there, almost hit my truck and you were just trying to be a good dude. The cops actually called me a day later and brought me in for questioning. They said the plate number I gave them didn't match the car. They look at me and he's like, are you going to pick another hitchhiker up?
Speaker 3:I'm like nope, I'm not picking no f***ing hitchhikers up, no more Jesus, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 1:Oh, I do. That's a good story. That was a dark time.
Speaker 4:That's crazy. Have you picked?
Speaker 2:up another hitchhiker.
Speaker 4:No, how about that?
Speaker 1:other guy that we know that picked up who they thought was a hitchhiker and it ended up being a prostitute.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, that was fun. That's a lucky chance right there.
Speaker 1:I thought they were being a good guy.
Speaker 4:Where are you going?
Speaker 2:Oh, actually I'm not interested.
Speaker 1:It drops her off. What a misunderstanding.
Speaker 3:Well, she would look cold. You know a little fair skirt, I don't know exactly who this is, but this must be a good boy.
Speaker 1:He's a very good boy, good enough where he can't say the name. Probably one of the best boys. I'm just saying the fact that he overlooked that means he did not have any clue, never crossed his mind that it was a prostitute. You know what I think?
Speaker 3:I remember who this is. That's hilarious Good boy, yeah isn't it?
Speaker 2:All right, boys, this is my last clip that I have.
Speaker 4:I think my timing wasn't the best, but it's an all-time clip and I think it's Do you think you're going to have a transition if we just keep talking? You know, I don't.
Speaker 3:Give me a word. Dude I got to piss, so bad Give me three words from the audience.
Speaker 1:I will freestyle right now you sit here on your high horse. You read your Bible, you read your Psalms.
Speaker 2:Well, austin 316 says I just whipped your ass.
Speaker 4:That was good. I want to smash these sanguines.
Speaker 1:Look at the editing Holy smokes.
Speaker 2:That took me a long time.
Speaker 1:Dude, I got to get a fucking haircut. That took me a long time.
Speaker 3:I mean, you could have just been like hey in honor of the beers that Dalton brought boom Austin 316. Sounds crazy. So, Abby, when she was picking these up, she's like why do you want these specific beers? I was like, well, it's Stone Cold, Steve Austin, it's WWE wrestler. She's like who's that? I was like she knows. I hit her with the Austin. I was like Austin 316. I was like we reference that all the time on podcasts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, that's awesome. I love it so much. This is good. Actually, I don't hate it and I'm not that guy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm not. Well, it's just a lager.
Speaker 1:It just looks like it's just a regular beer that they just put his branding on.
Speaker 3:You know, yeah, an American lager made by El Segundo Brewing Company. Oh Jesus, Very American. Come on, Steve Imported from Mexico.
Speaker 1:American lager. It's from El Segundo himself. Yeah, Sammy, thank you for preparing those clips, that is an absolute blast from the past, Dude.
Speaker 4:it was nice to go through them because most of those clips at that time I was a true fan, just watching them at home.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you did fanboy real hard that first episode you were on.
Speaker 1:You were kind of cringe there, Santa. I didn't think that.
Speaker 4:I was a fanboy for years. I grew up four years I was in eighth grade when, when tyler and tucker and cody were seniors and, like our group, looked up to them and then when they made the pod I was like holy shit and, and then I became one of one of them one of them.
Speaker 1:I was vetted in my time, yeah, sam made a mockumentary of pine city and I was like, oh, this is good, this is really good. Like I want you to make this stuff for us, like this is hilarious. He's still working on the mockumentary it's gonna happen, I think it would just be better if I was a little older no, dude, we clicked so well, though, like that first night, we you've slept on the we all slept at the studio.
Speaker 1:Yes, this was obviously pre-kids. My wife and I slept on the. We all slept at the studio. Yeah, this was obviously pre-kids. My wife and I slept on the couch in the office. I walked home you walked home my first night ever at froggies.
Speaker 4:That was your first night ever that was my first froggies experience talk about a good, the best froggies experience ever dude I remember waking up.
Speaker 1:I come to at like 4 30 in the morning and my wife and I are laying on this couch. I'm like why are we still here? I run upstairs, Tyler has nothing on but his pants. No shirt, no shoes, no service, no nothing. Laying on the ground spread wide, snoring on the floor.
Speaker 2:Out of all places.
Speaker 1:I don't know why you picked this one you could look through the glass. I didn't even think of that.
Speaker 2:Anyone who walked by could have seen him just laying in the middle of the floor Upstairs you can see the street.
Speaker 1:That's street level. Wow, that's crazy that was the only place with some place to lay down a rug or something. This was all concrete and hardwood.
Speaker 3:And that's currently the Pine City Chamber of Commerce.
Speaker 1:It's now a real business office. There's some memories 30 nights. Do you guys buy into this fact that, like uh, locations have memories, like places remember vibes? And energy and whatever. I would love to go spend a night in that basement again yeah yeah, I got some weird vibes in that basement before. I'm not gonna lie editing down there until like one, two in the morning by myself was a little creepy yeah, I bet I would hear noises like footsteps.
Speaker 3:Well, them them. All those basements and all that. That whole area is old, very, and then basements used to be connected and they blocked them off yeah, each other all that whole strip used to be one. Well, the walls were like just mud and rocks. It was like bluestone rock basement Stacked against fieldstone foundation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wild yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think going in there.
Speaker 1:I think there's some memories that probably still live on. You could probably still smell us in there. You can hear us laugh and hear Tyler snoring. You can still smell a couple White Castle burgers if you get close enough to the ground A lot of White Castle deleted in that place.
Speaker 4:Tyler, since you quit drinking, how much White Castle have you had?
Speaker 1:Dude, I just had it twice this month.
Speaker 4:I love that. I just had it last week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, yeah.
Speaker 2:What Thursday, friday night.
Speaker 1:We just had it we deleted some and then I had it like a week before that by myself. Yeah, Pretty honestly decent. Not enough to have a tattoo on my ass.
Speaker 2:But how does that tattoo?
Speaker 1:look.
Speaker 4:Oh, she's a little shaky.
Speaker 1:Now Whip her out, let out. Let me see it. If you don't have, you don't have to, you don't have to show the camera.
Speaker 4:But daddy wants to see it.
Speaker 1:Look at that that still looks very nice yeah, that's crispy yellow, held up well how's it smell? Better, yet how's it taste it's a scratch.
Speaker 3:If you lick it it tastes like yeah, it's a scratch and taste.
Speaker 1:I'm calling bullshit. I'll be the judge of that.
Speaker 2:This ass was cooked on a bed of onions. Buddy Beautiful.
Speaker 1:What do you think is the biggest thing that you guys have changed about yourselves since starting the podcast, let's just say in the last five years? Like, do you think that you're an all-around different person, or just the way that you look at life you're a different person, or yeah, because I had kids yeah that rewrites your whole script.
Speaker 3:Totally, totally different. Human being, yeah, yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 1:Way different, I would agree yeah, I think also, like I said before, I always thought to myself, like I will never have a corporate job, I will never have to care about what anyone thinks. I'll make my Facebook profile photo a picture of me and my buddies wearing girls' colored skinny jeans. I don't care, and now that is not even close to the way that I view my image, you know yeah, it says you get older.
Speaker 3:You're just like I don't know what it is, but you're just like. What would other people kind of think of that?
Speaker 1:you gave up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I gave up, lost our edge, you know I don't know.
Speaker 3:We're like green day right now, an edge.
Speaker 1:I think it's more like just like you're more conscious of how other people view you not that you don't care, like yeah, it's not that I care that other people view me, but I think I care more about, like, how I'm affecting their view.
Speaker 2:You're more self-aware. That makes sense.
Speaker 1:You're more self-aware, it's more like if me being obnoxious is making you have a bad day, then I'm just not going to be obnoxious, whereas before it was like I'm going to be obnoxious whether it ruins your day or not.
Speaker 3:That must be everybody but the people in this room. That you think like that, I think that's respect.
Speaker 1:I think that's respect that is a good point no, you, and you're right too, because I will at some points be like, fuck that, they're my friend. Oh yeah, I don't. They, they can deal with my image of myself to them or your wife you get a rush off of just making your wife pissed off at you for what you're doing sometimes yeah, that's like your whole fucking job, your whole job being married keep it interesting yeah keep me irritated yeah, good point biggest regret that you've had in the last five years I'll be divorced.
Speaker 1:If I answer that, biggest regret that you've had in the last five years, I'll be divorced?
Speaker 3:if I answer that. I was going to joke and say speaking of the kids.
Speaker 2:I love my kids.
Speaker 3:Great thing.
Speaker 1:Regret Staying friends with Cody probably Me too I hate that guy. I want to kill him. Actually, that reminds me. Do you remember we were actually a guest on this podcast? Do you remember this? This was right in the beginning. Awful, we were a guest on this small internet and it was only a live show and I don't even think they had many viewers. It was like a local show, Like St Cloud or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, rochester. Oh, maybe it was only a live show and I don't even think they had many viewers. It was like a local show, like St Cloud or something. Yeah, rochester. Oh, maybe it was Rochester.
Speaker 1:I don't even remember the guy's name.
Speaker 3:And he's like, do all four of you? Yeah, Full Circle Pod.
Speaker 1:Do you guys want to come on this show? We talk about men's mental health and just funny stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, sweet, we go on the show and I said that exact thing, didn't I? I said like I want to kill him.
Speaker 1:He's uh, he said something, something about me, and uh, and then I was like I actually hate that guy. Yeah, you say wait, who's cody?
Speaker 3:who's cody hughes. He was like making a reference to you, oh yeah, and then you said I hate that guy, I want to. And right after that it led into a long, like a one-minute spiel about anti-suicide thing and we both sat there. I kept looking at Tucker. I'm trying not to laugh. I don't remember this at all.
Speaker 1:Dude, horrible, that's one thing In the last five years I've had a lot of foot in mouth situations where I'm like whoa, I should not have said oh my god, I just was. Okay, I'm, I'm at work, I'm, I'm doing a video for this highway cleanup, right, and it's just, it's a big deal. It's like a five mile stretch of road that they get all the employees from the whole company to clean up and whatever, and we're all sitting down afterwards and we're all eating pizza and everyone's rah, rah, go team.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know I'm making a video of this whole thing and it was going really good and anyone's like did anyone find anything crazy? And I was like I found an unregistered firearm. They all stop what they are doing and they're like what I was like oh. I'm just kidding, I did not. I was like whoa, I really got to detach myself.
Speaker 3:I'm not around my friends, how the fuck would you know if it's unregistered?
Speaker 1:That's exactly how I know.
Speaker 3:It's so stupid to say it like that.
Speaker 1:I checked it. Check the serial number.
Speaker 4:Cody, I have a great example of you with foot and mouth. When we, a long time ago now, we had a few rappers, on, oh yeah. And they brought their crew and so we were outnumbered. There was like 10 guys. And we go in the back room after and one of them, dark-skinned fellow, he looks at Cody and I and he goes. So what do you guys think of Black Lives Matter? Cody, no hesitation goes. I think it's all a hoax.
Speaker 3:He looks at him and he goes.
Speaker 4:Oh really, because I filmed the video with George Floyd and I also led the first marches and I was like holy fuck.
Speaker 1:Oh, dude, I played it off good though.
Speaker 4:He backpedaled well I didn't backpedal at all.
Speaker 2:I didn't backpedal at all, I'm just kidding sir, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I just put all of the attention on Mitch and I said, no, I'm just kidding, but Mitch actually doesn't agree with that at all, and then Mitch was heavy backpedaling. No, I did not, hey, listen, I did not say that.
Speaker 4:I was hitting it hard. I was the white knight. I'm like I think it was a great thing people did March and I support looting.
Speaker 2:I was all on board.
Speaker 1:I was scared man. That was crazy of him. Okay, so they had a camera in our face. They were like doing a vlog. So I'm thinking like a camera in our face. They were like doing a vlog.
Speaker 4:So I'm thinking like come on, I don't even know we should look. He starts with so everybody here told me not to do this. But how y'all feel about george floyd, camera right in our face?
Speaker 1:we're like I'm just dude, how about that corporate job? Yeah, um, it's all for entertainment purposes. Yes, you know it was funny. It was funny. And it was even funnier putting all the attention on Mitch after that.
Speaker 2:Honestly, yeah, for you.
Speaker 1:I'm really glad that they didn't really really double down on my answer to it I'm really happy you found a replacement for me, because that would have been me Dude.
Speaker 3:I would not have wanted to be in that room. No, it was so awkward.
Speaker 1:It went from like a cool, fun atmosphere with a couple of fit handsome guys to like fit handsome guys. Heavy. It was heavy. They just went in. I was like whoa, the only way that we're going to get out of this alive is that we're just going to.
Speaker 4:We have to pretend we're not racist for a minute live is that we're just gonna. We have to pretend we're not racist for a minute.
Speaker 1:Really dig deep yeah, wow, yeah, times have changed five years. Yeah, I would say my biggest regret in the five years? Probably no. I think, to take it to like more of a real note, I think like being too controlling over the, the creative freedom of of the thing. From the start, I think, like in my head, I was so certain that it had to be such a specific way and there was like one production aspect of this that's gonna make it the thing, and like blindly going over the fact like it's, that is not what made it of like a I don't want to say successful, because everyone's idea of that is different, but like to me, made it successful right away.
Speaker 2:It was not that it was.
Speaker 1:You know, like everyone, just like having fun.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know you're putting a square peg in a round hole, kind of thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like you like when, when you're like genuinely having a good time, people hear that and that makes them have a good time, I feel like, and I think that was like what we were really good at capturing. And then you know there was that long string of time, like right when you first like had stepped off the podcast full time, that that was noticeably like not there. And it was just like a performance. Well your fun left, well your fun left.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the fun left, the show left.
Speaker 1:So we had to, like Sam and I had so many times of being in here alone for hours Like what do we do? How do we make this? Like what is not working. What is working. Like I'm overanalyzing the analytics Like where are people dropping off and what at what point, and then overthinking like okay, this is when they drop off, so we need to stop doing this. And it's like, dude, you're missing the whole point of this whole thing. But this is also the content that you were consuming at the time is the science of analytics.
Speaker 2:The analytical and technical and still am.
Speaker 1:Yeah, totally. But there is an aspect that is not measurable. That's like this feeling of like I know these guys are being really themselves.
Speaker 4:It's just. People can sense when you're being genuine.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And that's what everybody says. It's just like if I was posted up at the bar with my buddies all day.
Speaker 3:That's what you get. That was our feedback almost every time. It's like you feel like you're just hanging out with them and that's why, like you said, the idea of successful.
Speaker 1:But during COVID, I mean, we couldn't go to bars, we couldn't do anything. We would get together every week. It was a day that we got together, we drank, we hang out, Get out of the house and we put it on the internet. And people that are stuck inside can't do anything can also feel like they're hanging out. I've gotten so many comments of people that don't have friends that makes them feel like they're just chilling with their friends.
Speaker 3:I never thought of that Having a good time, that nobody could go out, so they kind of listen to us to be out, but that whole idea was so new at that time.
Speaker 1:Now there's people that don't go out at all and that is their entertainment is listening to podcasts.
Speaker 2:Oh dude you want to get conspiratorial here.
Speaker 1:Dude, I'm about to go tinfoil hat yeah drop it on me. No, I just feel like it's kind of like a design feature. I feel like it's getting to a point. Do you think it's purposeful? I don't know. There's a certain route that all of technology is to just dumbing us down and pushing us into a corner.
Speaker 3:Oh, damn, you're not wrong. This is what we do every day, but that's like the whole thing, right? Like other people, do the shit you don't want to do the most common job in America is content creator.
Speaker 1:The most common job.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's not even close.
Speaker 1:I saw that it's astronomical, it's nuts. Like kids like sixth grade and under the top. Thing that they aspire to be is a youtuber now, which is not astronaut. It's not, yeah, you know, anything else other than like youtuber?
Speaker 3:but also number one by regular jobs are decreasing as well with with technology and automation and ai, and so many jobs are not even really a thing yeah, the nature of the beast is creating a service, like as an entrepreneur, you create a service for a job that nobody wants to do right, and then eventually nobody wants to do. You keep going down the line with that no one wants to do.
Speaker 2:Well then it's AI then it's robots, then it's and they slowly creep into the you know Well.
Speaker 3:Well, there's two categories.
Speaker 1:I think that it used to be nobody wants to do or can't do or doesn't know how to do, right, you know what I mean. Like, and now I've heard this said so many times in the last couple of months we're moving out of the how do I do it era into the what do I do era. Yeah, so like with all these tools that you have, you can just type in a prompt on chat. Gpt, you know, write me a business plan and it just boom spits out the whole thing.
Speaker 3:That would take someone days to figure out, or hey, make 10 seconds, make me a, a post or a picture of a, this, this, that, doing this, this, this and boom, you get it. It's there. I mean you can, you can. There's a big uncanny valley there.
Speaker 1:I know when somebody's using ai you can just see it, oh yeah, but right now wait a year, oh right, well, and that's the thing that's only untouched, how much stuff are other people editing on top of that.
Speaker 3:That then you don't know who showed me this. I think it was. My younger brother showed me a video an ai video of a police body cam and the only dead giveaway in that video was that there was street lamps in the middle of buildings where there's not there's no post. But if you just watch this video you'd be like that's body cam footage, there's cops, it turns. There's cars in the street, there's a building, there's buildings and houses, yeah whole thing. But there's street lamps with no post.
Speaker 1:And you're like, and I've noticed they can't do like filler words on signs, like small words they don't know, like random things that'll be lit. No, like a can like this description oh yeah, I got you.
Speaker 3:They might have the main logo and shit but that's like some of the only shit that I can tell, some of the prompts like I've used them for my company making posts and you try to tell it to say something on something and it does.
Speaker 1:it struggles with that it'll say it, but it's like off or not quite but I'm sure that's in gtp5, which is what a month out or something, right, really close, oh shit that's been the crazy in the last five years.
Speaker 3:That's that was not here in the last one year it's changed 10 times there was no.
Speaker 1:There was no talk of it five years ago there was no use of ai that we could use on an everyday level five years ago, right, but now, even editing the podcast, there's three different ai programs that I'm using. Nuts, you know, I mean. That alone has saved me hours and hours and hours of work. Yeah, how long was an?
Speaker 1:episode, that's I was just say, the first video episode we ever did took me 12 hours or 14 hours, something like that to edit. That's nuts. Now, to edit a full episode is like 10 minutes for me. I mean it cut it down by a fraction.
Speaker 2:Changes all of the camera frames to who's talking. Yeah, so now.
Speaker 1:I just link. You know whatever all the microphones are recording independently. So I just link what video goes with what microphone and hit play.
Speaker 2:You used to listen to the whole entire thing and have to use the keyboard and say, okay, this person is talking.
Speaker 1:Switch to camera Number one, number two, then switch back and forth through who's talking. Then we got to live switching, which was kind of a pain in the ass already to begin with While everyone's talking.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to lie. I was sitting here like fucker's not switching.
Speaker 1:No, because now it's all automated. Now you don't even need to switch it. That's right, I figured that out.
Speaker 3:by staring at it for a second I was like, yeah, they're not changing because that's not how it's done anymore.
Speaker 1:No, it's good old days. Yeah, that's a big change. Yeah, regret.
Speaker 3:Quit drinking.
Speaker 1:It's one of them no weight loss. I think I was way cooler when I was fat.
Speaker 3:You're definitely an easier target.
Speaker 1:Yeah, more ways than one More to hit, More to hit for sure my hit box. A lot to love, though. A lot to love, yeah, a lot to go around. No, I just what do you think? Well, I mean, I feel like it went the direction it should have, Like, in a way, like I could say like I probably went too hard for a little bit, but it was the timeline that I feel like I was supposed to be in. So, not really huge regrets.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, if you'd have gone that hard like now, yeah I don't want that guy around my kids?
Speaker 1:yeah, exactly you know if I was that yeah, seriously, if I showed up to uh the for your birthday party drunkle and just started slamming beers, it'd be a problem yeah, I'd be over here like I don't want that guy around tucker's kid. Well, I don't think it would have been a massive problem, because it just would have not happened. Like we can't. If you're at Tucker's kid's birthday party. He can't keep up like that. He's at his kid's birthday party. You know he never could have kept up.
Speaker 1:But you know what I'm saying. Like he couldn't have matched your drunk idiot energy no.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because Like what I'm saying, like he couldn't have matched your drunk idiot energy.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, because, like we, we know, obviously we fed off of that so if. But if I was still like that, I'd be pushed out of the friend group not pushed out, it just wouldn't match.
Speaker 3:Let I'll make one thing clear. That was like 75 you, 25 us, because we would blow smoke up your ass until you would do dumb shit oh yeah, the peer pressure was crazy and literally it would take you.
Speaker 1:tell me to do something twice and I'll do it, yeah yeah, you're very easy to convince to do something crazy.
Speaker 2:You're, tyler, trying to smoke this tequila.
Speaker 1:No dude, Absolutely not. That was his idea, oh was that yours?
Speaker 2:The tequila was his idea. Wait, the vaping tequila? Oh, that was.
Speaker 1:Rumpelman's. Oh, whatever, but yeah idea, I did buy all the products and bring it there and do it actually. Did you buy the products for me?
Speaker 3:I feel like I had somebody else get me a bike pump from walmart. Yeah, I didn't do that. Oh I, I did not do that?
Speaker 4:how do you do?
Speaker 1:that I don't think I should be advertising it. I have a video of it, but I couldn't find it last time we know, you take a wine bottle and you put like a shot of liquid liquor. It has to be over 100 proof in the bottle.
Speaker 1:Barely nowhere. And then you take a cork, you shove a bike pump through the cork, you pressurize the bottle of wine, the glass bottle, and then, as you release the cork, the high pressure low pressure just vaporizes the alcohol in there. It goes all foggy. And then you suck it out with a straw and you get wasted because the liquor vapor is go into your lungs.
Speaker 3:You don't suck it out with the alcohol.
Speaker 1:There's no way to like alcohol. Poisoning is so easy because there's no way to get rid of it. It goes instantly into all of this. I mean, it was not good, Not through the liver.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did it twice, Main vein.
Speaker 1:And the second time. Yeah, I got really fucked up at a party. I did it once. I was already pretty drunk when I did it, but I was definitely drunk afterwards. Yeah, it was heavy, bro.
Speaker 3:It was heavy. Well, here we are. What about you tucker? No regrets, or what?
Speaker 1:no, I don't really have any regrets. I mean probably getting way too drunk and saying something stupid yeah, pull up that clip.
Speaker 2:No, because like, yeah, yeah, I'll wake up the next morning and be like oh yeah, yeah, I did it. I did it last night. We should have did that, man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did it last night, I'll wake up the next morning and be like oh yeah, I did it last night.
Speaker 2:We should have did that man. I did it last night.
Speaker 1:Anything embarrassing.
Speaker 3:I don't think I have anything like.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, a lot of shit's embarrassing, but I just don't try to Get hung up on it Cause.
Speaker 2:I did for a while, you're the only person that does get hung up on it. I know I did for a while. You're the only person that does get hung up, I know. I know I try now, I try like yeah, just try.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel, like. I'm very conscious of what I say. I mean, even if, even if everyone that I work with heard every single episode, I'd be like, well, you're a funny guy, whatever you fit guy.
Speaker 4:I'm a handsome guy. They couldn't fire me.
Speaker 1:I don't think there's a single thing that you could take from what we've said throughout all the years and be like oh he's serious, this could get. It's a comedy situation Other than Sam actually being racist. I don't think that we said anything out of sarcasm.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you know, sometimes I just can't contain it. My true self comes out on camera.
Speaker 1:The problem is we play into it. We should be backpedaling.
Speaker 4:Well, I feel like if I hit the, I'm not racist. Stop that's when it's a problem. That motherfucker is definitely racist when you start denying it.
Speaker 1:It's a problem for sure. Keep the people guessing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I'm not racist.
Speaker 4:Is you, is or is you ain't.
Speaker 1:Best episode that you guys remember. What's your favorite episode? I only remember 10. I think my personal favorite to look back on is that episode that we should have scrapped.
Speaker 2:That was fun.
Speaker 1:That was just a mess of an episode. It was bad. I mean terrible entertainment. For someone who is, if that's the first episode that they watched, that's definitely the last that they watched. Well, that's why we should have scrapped it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it was only me, sat on it for months and then I was like fuck it, we'll release it. I think my favorite episode because of what it led to and how much collaboration with the Legion. No.
Speaker 1:Breakfast Ball.
Speaker 3:Breakfast Ball yeah. That episode was so fun. That was fun Because we could read those guys we're like, these guys want to fucking party.
Speaker 2:It was such a cool time too.
Speaker 3:And then there was a little bit of a quip there where you said oh, we're coming out because you guys do the area. Yeah, Fargo. Well, you said the strip club that was out there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Northern.
Speaker 3:And then that Tyler guy was like after the podcast, are you guys really coming out? We're like we can.
Speaker 1:Fuck yeah, we'll be there tomorrow. And we were all like, are we really driving four hours?
Speaker 3:And you were like no, no no, and I said, cody, we have to do this, we have to go. And we went and it was fucking awesome, dude we spent like $600 at the strip club. Yeah, Cody threw out his metal credit card and paid for the room and everything. It was awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was a business expense at the time it was. Yeah, I wrote it off. That was crazy. I wrote it off. We were gambling.
Speaker 3:We had that couple that was hanging out with us. They thought it was a great time. Yeah, that was wild and that gal. They were like 40. You don't remember that, do you?
Speaker 2:I don't remember that either.
Speaker 3:We were playing roulette or whatever the spinning wheel thing. Oh, pig wheel, pig wheel, dude, and I hit that shit. I won so much.
Speaker 1:We were losing our shit, Didn't I ask? Was it Tyler or Ryan? I asked one of them. I'm like what's your number? What's your number? I ran over the bed, their bet on it and fucking hit. Yeah, and I hit like four or five hundred dollars or something it was nuts. So that was such a good time. Yeah, that trip changed my life. Well, yeah, you wouldn't it altered the course of your life 100.
Speaker 1:If we would have never went on that trip, I never would have worked at you, betcha yeah, no 100, never crazy, because that night was solidified our bond. You know it was like we are very good at networking.
Speaker 1:yes, we can hang out with anybody. Yep, it matched the vibe. Every. I feel like there's not one guest that came in here and said they did not like that. Even black dudes, the comedic timing. I was going to say you also weren't here for that. Uh, blm movement guy that was here. Um, that would have been an awkward one.
Speaker 4:Dude, we've had more black people on the pod than I went to high school with.
Speaker 1:I know what I regret.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:No, never mind, that doesn't even work. I was going to say what I don't regret is I left at the right time. Damn, damn.
Speaker 4:We did hit our best stride after he left. You got to get out on the.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, we reached our peak like four months after it's because everyone was like where'd he go, Where'd he go?
Speaker 2:Is Tyler back?
Speaker 3:No, they were checking every single episode to see when Tyler was coming back.
Speaker 1:That was when we started figuring out the videos, the formatting. That was actually when we started figuring out the other piece. That wasn't just like let's drink as many beers as we can and see how funny we can be.
Speaker 2:Fart, burp, burp.
Speaker 1:It became deeper, it was more thought out.
Speaker 3:It was refined. It had a playbook, because when we did episodes you would come in with like all right, what should we talk about? And then we'd be like we don't fucking know.
Speaker 1:turn the like I want to have you hit us with uh yeah, you hit us like homework.
Speaker 3:You'd be like, all right, next week let's do this, and you guys bring like three topics. No one would do shit. Yeah, yeah, me and tucker. Be like.
Speaker 4:I don't know, I'm here for the bushfires.
Speaker 3:There's bullshit sessions, though you had fucking twins to deal with at the time, so no one really expected you to help. Background noise. That sounded weird because you still have them you had them at the time and now yeah.
Speaker 1:Sad to see them leave.
Speaker 3:They're in college now.
Speaker 1:How crazy to think they are four years old.
Speaker 3:Now you have two four-year-old kids dude, you showed me the ultrasound on the podcast I did actually you gave it to me. I looked at it. I was like oh, that's so cool, that's awesome. You're like keep looking and I'm like what? You're like? There's two of them. I, I'm like ah.
Speaker 1:Fetus A and fetus B. I remember that. Oh wow, that's crazy. We're fucking old.
Speaker 2:We are old, You're old dude, you know that we're getting old because we're like doing this weird old man nostalgic thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're doing a whole episode for ourselves right now. Literally, I still feel 25.
Speaker 2:Most of the time, fuck them If you're still listening.
Speaker 3:You're a fucking nerd.
Speaker 1:I wish you knew you were in the good old days. Dear me quit listening. Now. I wonder how many people started and stayed with it. I mean, it's a handful for sure. Oh, there's definitely some diehards for sure. Because actually you know what's funny? I just met this gal who, um, they just built a like a real professional podcast studio.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:And, uh, she was asking me about here and so she took a tour of inside of here and she's like, well, it looks a lot bigger on camera and I was like, lady, if I had a nickel, because it is all smoke and mirrors over here. Yeah, you know, like these tripods are falling apart. You know this foam on the walls is Amazon pennies worth of of foam on the walls, whatever. So, anyway, she's building this professional podcast studio. She's like oh my gosh, the second she stepped in. Oh my gosh, I've seen your podcast before. She's like I I went back recently and watched a couple of the new ones and I thought it was a completely different show. But I went back and watched the the first couple and I realized I've seen this before. It's changed a lot. I was like, yeah, five years it has.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you're like man tyler got shorter and fatter, are you talking?
Speaker 1:about you you know wherever it hits, okay I think he's talking about your his chair being lower.
Speaker 3:Is that what you were saying? No, he, I was taking a dig at Mitch.
Speaker 4:Oh man, I like that one better.
Speaker 3:That's funny. I think what's funny is that, like it looks different than the original setup but it still has the same soul. Like, still the like. Do you remember the?
Speaker 1:episode we were putting together. Oh yeah, hh Holmes.
Speaker 3:And we sent a picture to Cody about the rig we had to set up and it was like your phone taped to a tripod and all that shit.
Speaker 1:The first and only episode that I was not on.
Speaker 3:It was a Halloween episode that we did, and it's just shit. Like that the rag tag rigged. That's the soul of this place. I mean, it's light years ahead of it now, but it's just shit like that the rag tag rigged, you know that's the soul of this place. I mean, it's light years ahead of it now, but it's still. You invested in tripods.
Speaker 1:I mean that one's the same, and I think, yeah, that one that one might be new, I don't know I think, uh, the only new one is this shitty middle one there's definitely that's not even that good, there's definitely more cameras, definitely more cameras, better quality microphones better lighting lights we're in a different studio. Yeah, what a different time. I mean crazy, crazy, crazy, and now it um you still lose your train of thought had it then.
Speaker 4:I lost it.
Speaker 1:You were really hoping one of us took over.
Speaker 4:Where'd you go, had it then I lost it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so good times in here, good times to be happy Anybody want another one. Yeah play it one more time. Sam, I want to hear this thing again. This was one of my favorite episodes. You said the oh yeah, wine, the wood, favorite episodes, wine. I told him backwoods, honey, berry. He brings me. Uh, what did I just say, jesus Christ?
Speaker 3:Play it one more time.
Speaker 1:Let's try to figure out what he actually said, and try to Backwoods honey berry.
Speaker 3:Wine.
Speaker 1:I wanted him to bring me wine flavored black and mild. Oh, okay, and he brings me. He brought me wine flavored black and mild oh, okay, and he brings me. He brought me something else.
Speaker 4:No Different brand. You wanted back with his honey berry, and he brought you wine, black and mild. That's what it was. You still can't get it. I couldn't see you.
Speaker 2:You know what's one of my, one of the saddest things that we ever lost.
Speaker 3:That I think you maybe deleted on purpose, but I don't know. Was your one of things that we ever lost that? I think you maybe deleted on purpose, but I don't know. One of your questions to Miles you remember how hard oh, I did delete that on purpose.
Speaker 1:It was a 30 second ramble.
Speaker 3:It was like that kid you remember when you Except he was saying words, but none of them were a question. He just kept rambling. It was honestly probably 15 seconds of gibberish.
Speaker 1:It made no sense.
Speaker 3:Me and him were watching it as he's editing it and I was. I almost peed my pants in his house. I was laughing so hard because I was like I'm so pissed I can't even tell you like what he meant. It was something like when you do this, do you do that, or were you thinking this, that, how you? When you that, when you were there?
Speaker 1:It was like that, but three times longer than that, and it made no sense. He didn't even know how to answer the question, but he fucking like a true professional.
Speaker 3:just gave an answer to a part of that question. I was like dude, he rolled so well you could throw that guy out of a car and he would know to tuck and roll perfectly.
Speaker 1:Enough to where I could cut my part down to five seconds, and it made more sense.
Speaker 3:It was just a combination of nervousness and hype and energy. You were just so tied up.
Speaker 1:When we got that interview with Miles the first time, that was a Thursday at 2 pm, yeah, something like that yep in the middle of the summer yeah, in your basement, my basement. I'm like I text you guys the day before your poorly lit basement can you come to? This was pre-video event. Yeah, yeah, it's episode 10. Oh, it was episode 10.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was 10th episode uh, can you please come to my house at 2 o'clock I have a surprise for you guys. And I had my iPad taped to the wall so that we could FaceTime him, and when he popped up on the screen I remember thinking we made it.
Speaker 2:This is it.
Speaker 1:We're big time interviewers now and come to find out. You know what's funny about that is so I dealt with um his business manager, or you know, uh, whatever, I don't remember what her title was like yeah um throughout the entire process of booking him for an interview, and they're like I I found out later on he had told her tell them I'll do it for 200 bucks, and so she comes back. Yeah, he says he'll do it for 200 bucks, and so she comes back. Yeah, he says he'll do it, it'll be $350.
Speaker 2:So in my head.
Speaker 1:I was like, well, if I'm going to pay for anyone to be as a guest, I told myself I would never pay to have a guest on here, but this one I would pay. I was like only 350 bucks, that's actually not that bad. All right Through it, I'll that. He told her $200. She raised it up thinking I wasn't going to do it because he didn't want to do it anyway. So I was like what the hell?
Speaker 3:That's hilarious.
Speaker 2:What the hell you got your monies out of it though.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, definitely. Did she tell you this thinking you'd think it was funny? Oh yeah, Because when people tell me something where they wronged me in the past, and tell me later it still hits hard.
Speaker 1:It doesn't make it easier for me you know I hated you in eighth grade you're a piece of shit, yeah you know I'd be lying if I didn't think immediately like well, that's funny, I'm gonna get you back somehow oh, I hate you forever now well, now she doesn't work there, neither do I so yeah it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1:But I remember too, after that episode being like we we're going to send him a whole package, we're going to send him shirts, we're going to send him stickers, maybe a hat, and it'll show up in a video and it'll be awesome and whatever, whatever. And then I get to work there, which was six months to a year after that maybe A year.
Speaker 1:And I walk in and there's just a pile of shit that they get sent for free. And I walk in and there's just a pile of shit that they get sent for free and that box that I sent them is dead center.
Speaker 2:They opened it, never took anything out of it.
Speaker 3:You've seen the box.
Speaker 1:My stickers, my shirt, my hat are still in this box. You can even remove it. I literally grabbed it out and I was like oh cool. And everyone's like oh damn, that's sweet.
Speaker 3:I remember my first sniff, that something was up like they kind of had a code or some sort was. Uh, when we did our episode with them and I won with the uh, what was it called? Breakfast ball? Yeah, uh, I won the pick your drink for.
Speaker 1:Yeah, whatever vote right but the bush light and I.
Speaker 3:There was punishment for Tyler, not you there, tyler. Wait. Yeah, there was a Ryan, no it was Tyler Tyler yeah, there Tyler was drinking the Bush Light Dog Brew. They didn't mention that it was us at all. They did a whole separate video of him slamming that thing.
Speaker 2:There was no tag of us.
Speaker 1:No, no tag of us. No, nothing. They said we did a podcast. Yeah, I was like, wait a minute, that's weird, right, that's weird, like you don't want to give us this free publicity which I get.
Speaker 2:They were they were very against that.
Speaker 3:They were very against that business.
Speaker 1:No, you're right, you're right. Yeah, that was a business, it's two different mentalities of looking at it, though, too. At the time we were doing it because it was a lot of fun and that was how we would have thought that that needed to be done, but this was also still kind of the wild west of those kind of times yeah, right there ryan was looking at it like I needed to prove to miles that this is, this can work, my golf podcast can work.
Speaker 3:It's still going, I think yeah, it's still going at the time long, long time going.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, their studio has changed a lot. I mean, when I first started working there, I pull up and it's a storage unit. I mean, I open up this, this garage door, and that's my desk, on a plastic folding table with like a computer chair at it.
Speaker 1:Oh, damn and a monitor that I plugged my laptop into to edit on damn. And then by the time that I had, they were in a huge warehouse, already building a new warehouse on like 40 acres. This holds compound, and it was this massive operation by the time that I had left you know, everything progresses.
Speaker 1:But I learned a lot while I was there, and that was my thought from the whole beginning. It's like either I'm bringing all my friends with me or I'm getting whatever I can out of this knowledge wise and I'm just going to bring it back and do it.
Speaker 3:I'm very much glad you moved back. Me too, me too.
Speaker 1:Tucker's not.
Speaker 2:He said no. He said no. I did not say that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I am too I think it was a good move. I mean, don't get me wrong, At first I was like damn, was this the?
Speaker 2:move the right decision.
Speaker 1:I should have given it more time. I think I could have done more there had I stayed longer. Sure, I remember Taylor was real disappointed because we had already moved like six times in the last six months.
Speaker 2:You moved so much.
Speaker 1:She finished school, moved up there and it was like three weeks of her living there and I was like, hey, we're going back. I think I kind of want to move home yeah.
Speaker 2:She's like what?
Speaker 1:what are you talking about, after you just gave all your shit? Away literally gave everything that I had away, sold the house for exactly what I owed on it downsized to an apartment everything like sold it to tucker's brother that was my favorite house I've ever lived in. I should have kept it. Idiot, stupid idiot.
Speaker 3:You just refinanced to a 15-year mortgage, just finance, yeah and then oh, and killer, killer rate, because I had like a 2.1, yeah that is, that's free fucking money so that house at a 15-year note is like 70 of the payment I have now on a 30 year mortgage.
Speaker 2:It's insane.
Speaker 1:I should have just kept it. But my thought process at the time was I was thinking like, okay, I'll keep it. I couldn't refinance it again, cause I just refinanced it and it costs, you know, a lot to refinance. So I was like I'm not going to refinance it, but I can't rent it for what the payment is. So how long am I going to be here? I don't know. Am I going to be here forever? Well, if that's the case, then I'm just going to sell it.
Speaker 2:I should have just kept it, but I you know that's a good point.
Speaker 1:You couldn't get it rent for a 15 year note no, that's I'm like I'm not gonna lose money on this place? Yeah, every single month. That would suck. And then my name's still attached to this. What if they fuck it up? Pussy hindsight's 2020 dude? That place is worth 150 000 more right now than when I sold it, and then that's dude, that's.
Speaker 3:We bought our house in 2019. That thing's worth inflation, 100 grand more than and they don't even know I did anything. They still think I got fucking yeah, right, uh, tongue and groove 70s. I think I got fucking tongue-and-groove 70s board wall on there, yeah not an actual appraisal of the building Right, just the tax value.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the tax assessment or whatever, which isn't even accurate anyways.
Speaker 3:Oh, way low. I'm fucking and it fucking should be. Let's be real.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not complaining.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if you're the tax assessor, get the fuck off my lawn.
Speaker 1:I actually talked to her. She's a nice lady. Okay, super nice I called her back because she left me a note and said call me and I called her back. She's like you understand, you're like one in ten people that actually call me back when I leave a note. That's got to be the worst job in the world. But if nobody calls her back, she just assumes what you have in your house and it's usually like she was gonna say I had a three bedroom, two and a half bath house.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, let's, let's be real back.
Speaker 1:Let's be real. There's no reason to be nice to her, though, other than that she's a human being, and that is the right thing, to do but yep the better, the better of an interaction you have with her, the higher the value of your houses, the more taxes.
Speaker 3:You've got true right. Because she came to my door and she asked, asked me oh, did you do any updates? And she could see in, I shut the door, I'm like no, and then she's like how many bathrooms? I was like she's like two bathrooms, Because that's what it was.
Speaker 2:I was like actually it's one now which it is, because I removed the basement one because it was leaking.
Speaker 3:Oh, the water issue. And she, she's like you do any. She clearly saw it because she asked a very specific question Do you do any tongue-and-groove wall work or anything which my whole half wall that you can see from the window is tongue-and-groove? I was like, nah, I can't tell her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but the more you cooperate, the higher your taxes go.
Speaker 3:They're going to go up anyway. Yeah, but they're going to assume no matter what and then it would be on you to go say no, no, no, no, no, it's not this Because they send you another letter and say this is wrong, Tell us.
Speaker 1:If I trash the place, does it make my taxes go down?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it would, it would do that.
Speaker 1:That's why you get in trouble. Okay, is that tax fraud?
Speaker 4:you can cast the Harry Potter spell Reparo and you can have your house back pretty quick.
Speaker 2:I don't know why you're so cultured Sam he's on a big.
Speaker 1:Harry.
Speaker 3:Potter, kick really not me, not Hermione, you.
Speaker 2:Ron. Stahl oh shit. Well, boys, what do you think, ron Stahl?
Speaker 1:Oh shit. Well, boys, what do you think?
Speaker 2:I got pissed off.
Speaker 1:Tucker, do you have any closing notes? You want to leave the people with Short? No, dude, I regret even coming.
Speaker 3:I was going to say is this exactly what you expected? Wrap her up. My biggest regret was coming tonight.
Speaker 2:No, I had fun. I was going to say is this exactly what you expected.
Speaker 1:Wrap her up. My biggest regret was coming tonight. All right, no, I had fun, this was fun. This is going to be the Tucker-only episode next week Absolutely not.
Speaker 3:You should edit a whole podcast of just him talking.
Speaker 1:None of our responses or anything, just him. All. Right, we'll be right back.
