WEBVTT

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.520
Hey, Chris. Hey, John. How's it going? Good.

00:00:35.579 --> 00:00:38.939
How are you? Oh, I've been better. Uh -oh. Yeah.

00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:44.420
So I got a call from the old middle school where

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:48.880
my kids go today, and my son has been suspended

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:55.460
for three days, and they're looking at sending

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:59.439
him to alternate education. Oh. So I'm pretty

00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.460
riled up. I suspect. Right now. Wow. Feeling

00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:07.180
all the feelings. Yeah. Frustrated with him and

00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:12.680
with the system. Sure. It's just a lot. So would

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.319
that send him over to Plyer? I don't know. DAEP

00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:22.780
is, yeah, I don't know. Okay. So, yeah, that's

00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:28.640
what we got going on over here. Let's jump into

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.299
the beer. Okay. Having said that, I actually

00:01:31.299 --> 00:01:34.079
brought the beer today. You did. We're going

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.879
to try a new beer. Where's the pretzels? I did

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.900
not bring crab dip or pretzels. I feel like a

00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:44.519
real slouch of a host. Yeah. Because Chris has

00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.519
been knocking it out of the park lately with

00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.209
the. um all the things but we got this um i got

00:01:50.209 --> 00:01:52.189
this the other day i saw it um and i was like

00:01:52.189 --> 00:01:53.769
oh that'd be a good one and then i was like you

00:01:53.769 --> 00:01:55.390
know what i'm not even going to drink it until

00:01:55.390 --> 00:02:00.150
the show so okay this is uh mountain fork yeah

00:02:00.150 --> 00:02:02.750
hold on just a second let me pop that out there

00:02:02.750 --> 00:02:06.230
for you where'd you find this one at um i found

00:02:06.230 --> 00:02:11.530
this at a gas station okay on shiloh and uh paluxy

00:02:11.530 --> 00:02:18.550
okay um Right. Yeah. Shiloh and Paluxy kind of

00:02:18.550 --> 00:02:20.629
across the street from those apartment buildings.

00:02:21.629 --> 00:02:23.330
I don't know if you're down that way very much.

00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:28.150
Yeah. Yeah. But they had a whole bunch of like

00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:34.909
really. What do you call it? Like all these flavored

00:02:34.909 --> 00:02:38.270
beers and all this other like a bunch of IPAs

00:02:38.270 --> 00:02:40.069
and things like that. And I was like, OK, well,

00:02:40.150 --> 00:02:41.629
I'm probably not going to find anything then.

00:02:41.810 --> 00:02:46.110
Yeah. But I. Poked around just a little bit longer,

00:02:46.250 --> 00:02:49.409
and I found one from Hokotown, Oklahoma, which

00:02:49.409 --> 00:02:54.509
is Beaver's Bend. Yeah. So if you've ever been

00:02:54.509 --> 00:02:59.270
up there. But this is called Mountain Fork MFB

00:02:59.270 --> 00:03:04.349
9 .0. It's an American stout. 9 % alcohol by

00:03:04.349 --> 00:03:08.289
volume. And, yeah, I don't actually know. I didn't

00:03:08.289 --> 00:03:11.150
look anything up on it. There's no blurb on the

00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:14.360
can, and there's no blurb on the site. I mean,

00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:17.319
he already looked. I did. You're just the man.

00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:20.199
Well, I figured you brought the beverage. I could

00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.319
at least look for some information. No information

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.120
about it, so we're just going to crack these

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.979
open and see what happens. Why not? I feel like

00:03:29.979 --> 00:03:35.740
it's a pretty, like, it's not abnormal to see

00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:39.740
the, you know, American ale, American, you know,

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:43.199
version of whatever, but this American stout,

00:03:43.660 --> 00:03:46.699
Cheers. I feel like you got a lot to live up

00:03:46.699 --> 00:03:50.180
to here, so we're going to find out. Yeah. Smells

00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:57.620
smooth. Mm -hmm. Tastes smooth. Okay. Got a little

00:03:57.620 --> 00:04:01.159
bit on the back end. Yeah. Not too sure what

00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.580
to call that. I don't know. It's not like dishwasher

00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:09.620
soap. No, it's not dish soap, and it is not.

00:04:11.389 --> 00:04:13.949
Pumpkin spice. It's not pumpkin spice. I'll tell

00:04:13.949 --> 00:04:16.389
you that right now. There is a little bit, though,

00:04:16.470 --> 00:04:18.889
of, I guess, hoppiness. I don't know if that's

00:04:18.889 --> 00:04:22.550
what they're calling American. The front end

00:04:22.550 --> 00:04:26.029
was so smooth, though. Yeah. Front of the tongue

00:04:26.029 --> 00:04:28.750
is... I'm trying to find some other people who

00:04:28.750 --> 00:04:30.970
give a little more information on it. Uh -huh.

00:04:33.730 --> 00:04:39.250
Yeah, I don't know. Not my favorite stout. No,

00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:43.699
no, no, no, no. But we've got four of these,

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.040
so we've got to drink it. We'll get it. Never

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.060
give up on a beer. Yeah. That's Chris's motto.

00:04:50.259 --> 00:04:54.660
Pours an effervescent cola mahogany. Okay. Cola

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:57.939
mahogany. I do feel like I'm chewing on a piece

00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:01.620
of wood right now. With a pinky of tan head.

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.319
I don't know what they mean by a pinky. Unless

00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.180
they're talking about like thin. Just a small

00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:12.060
little bit. Tons of barrel and dark fruit, some

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:18.019
iron notes, once warm. Okay. Once warm fruitiness

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:22.540
fades. So they're saying dark cherry, leafy hops.

00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:26.139
I would agree with that. Molasses notes. I don't

00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:28.699
get that. I don't get the molasses. Barrel dryness.

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.740
Definitely get the barrel dryness. With faint

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:33.019
bourbon notes. I didn't get any bourbon. Did

00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:37.449
you? And hints of iron up front. And to me, I

00:05:37.449 --> 00:05:39.290
didn't get the iron up front. I would almost

00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:41.689
argue iron on the back end. And maybe that's

00:05:41.689 --> 00:05:45.129
like when it's colder or warmer, it's going to

00:05:45.129 --> 00:05:50.449
come up to the front of the palette. But that's

00:05:50.449 --> 00:05:52.970
weird. No, I don't think I would have described

00:05:52.970 --> 00:05:55.089
some of it the way that they did. I'm not getting

00:05:55.089 --> 00:05:59.670
any like. What is that? Minimal carbonation,

00:05:59.670 --> 00:06:03.660
a little sticky. What does that even mean? A

00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:08.699
little sticky, a little warming. Carbonation

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:12.120
is out of whack. But you just said minimal carbonation.

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.079
Yeah, I think they mean that it probably needs

00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.480
more. Probably needs more. I will tell you a

00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:25.000
lot of stouts that I've had are almost, they

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.480
don't taste like flat Coke, but you know what

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.990
I mean? It's like they're flat. Yeah, so this

00:06:31.990 --> 00:06:36.709
person says, for taste, they say sweet, roasty

00:06:36.709 --> 00:06:40.490
malt with a bit of astringent roastiness and

00:06:40.490 --> 00:06:44.110
a fair amount of toffee and sweet bread flavor.

00:06:44.629 --> 00:06:47.470
Where are they getting this? Did we get a bad

00:06:47.470 --> 00:06:49.189
batch? Yeah, I don't know if we got a bad batch

00:06:49.189 --> 00:06:53.069
or we're drinking this too cold. I don't know,

00:06:53.149 --> 00:06:56.370
but I would not agree with the assessment here.

00:06:56.430 --> 00:06:59.310
And I'm not getting any fruitiness. No, not at

00:06:59.310 --> 00:07:04.709
all. Cherry is one of those fruits that I'm like...

00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:09.110
I mean, I guess I just don't taste cherry a lot.

00:07:09.170 --> 00:07:10.709
Maybe there's something that I'm missing here.

00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:18.389
The smell is pleasant. It's not bad. There's

00:07:18.389 --> 00:07:23.290
a little bit of... Maybe there's a slight hint

00:07:23.290 --> 00:07:28.050
of some kind of fruit on the smell, but it's

00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:38.860
not there in the taste. Yeah, I'm not. I don't

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:42.100
know. Again, it's not the worst beer I've had.

00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:46.660
No, we've had worse. But I'm not sure I'm buying

00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:51.680
this again. No. That's what I get for taking

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.279
a chance on Oklahoma. That's okay. That's the

00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.920
whole point of this show is to try new beers.

00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.079
I did that in college, too, and it didn't work

00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.560
out for me. But the AI says I did it. Yeah, I

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.910
know. The AI is completely wrong. Yes. But again,

00:08:07.189 --> 00:08:08.850
that's the whole point of the show is we bring

00:08:08.850 --> 00:08:12.529
something new. We try to anyways. And then we

00:08:12.529 --> 00:08:15.670
give you our input and our feedback and you can

00:08:15.670 --> 00:08:18.910
either take it or leave it. Feel free to leave

00:08:18.910 --> 00:08:20.269
it. This is one where you should probably take

00:08:20.269 --> 00:08:23.689
it. Yeah, I would say go ahead and take it. Yeah.

00:08:25.269 --> 00:08:27.089
What are you going to do? I will drink my second

00:08:27.089 --> 00:08:30.790
one just because. Yeah, I mean, it's a 9%. Might

00:08:30.790 --> 00:08:34.740
as well. Oh, it's lightweight this week. Yeah,

00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:38.000
right. Holy cow. I'm really shocked that they

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.240
don't have anything on their site about it. You

00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.059
would think they would. They'd be like, yeah,

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.179
we got rid of all that because it didn't taste

00:08:45.179 --> 00:08:47.220
like what we thought it was going to taste like.

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:54.379
Maybe. Become a VIP. I don't think so. Fog Dog.

00:08:55.220 --> 00:09:00.379
That's one of theirs. Peachy Sneaky Snake. Honky

00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:05.830
Tonk Light. The Rooster. Oh, I don't know. I'm

00:09:05.830 --> 00:09:10.490
going to butcher that one. Hocha Weezin. Or Hoka

00:09:10.490 --> 00:09:14.049
Weezin or something. Hoka Weezin. Well, Hoka

00:09:14.049 --> 00:09:15.909
Weezin, yeah. It's supposed to be a wheat beer.

00:09:16.029 --> 00:09:21.950
Weezin Weezin. Gentleman Jackalope. Juicy. No,

00:09:22.029 --> 00:09:25.429
thank you. If your first lead into your beer

00:09:25.429 --> 00:09:30.399
is it's juicy, I'm out. Crumpet. English brown

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:34.480
ale. I'd give that a try. I don't know if that's

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:42.259
my jam. $2 .59 ale. Okay. Yeah, they just...

00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:47.379
So they just have award -winning, a robust dark

00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:51.799
ale with layers of flavor. Let it warm to enjoy

00:09:51.799 --> 00:10:00.670
fully. Maybe they're not cold beer people. Oh,

00:10:00.670 --> 00:10:03.129
if you go there, you can get it on tap and a

00:10:03.129 --> 00:10:06.289
nitro. That would change the flavor profile.

00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:09.049
Oh, for sure it would. I bet it's better on nitro,

00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:11.970
but I don't know how much better. And that may

00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:14.429
not be worth the trip. But if you're going up

00:10:14.429 --> 00:10:18.370
there anyway, if you were going to spend some

00:10:18.370 --> 00:10:23.190
time on the beaver's bend, then you might look

00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:25.929
it up and see if you can. Find some. It's not

00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:27.789
a bad idea to do a road trip on one of these

00:10:27.789 --> 00:10:30.389
shows. Oh, yeah. No, for sure. That'd be great.

00:10:32.230 --> 00:10:34.570
I was thinking more Dallas, but, you know. Hey,

00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:37.909
wherever. Wherever. Wherever. We get big enough,

00:10:37.970 --> 00:10:41.210
we'll do road shows. Yeah, we will. Just run

00:10:41.210 --> 00:10:46.809
anywhere you all want us to go. Well, I have

00:10:46.809 --> 00:10:49.870
a story. Yeah, tell me your story. I don't think

00:10:49.870 --> 00:10:54.340
I've told you this. Garrett is thinking about

00:10:54.340 --> 00:11:00.639
moving. What? Exactly. So this is, again, one

00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:04.139
of those where we're still trying to understand

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:07.059
what it means to parent an adult child. Well,

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.379
sure. And he just turned 21. So in fairness,

00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.200
he's been a legal adult for a little while. But

00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:18.200
he was 19 when he graduated high school. So a

00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.960
year of that doesn't quite line up with. What

00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.940
you normally would expect. Yeah, he has decided

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:28.179
that in May, when his buddy graduates from high

00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:33.259
school, that they're moving to Austin. And of

00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:36.879
course... To do what? That's a great question.

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:40.519
And I don't have an answer for it yet. So it's

00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.039
led into some discussions and it's just kind

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.970
of like, okay, you know what Austin is. Yeah.

00:11:48.049 --> 00:11:51.009
You know that the people that are becoming more

00:11:51.009 --> 00:11:53.429
common in Austin are not the people that you

00:11:53.429 --> 00:11:58.610
want to be around. Just saying. You still live

00:11:58.610 --> 00:12:02.629
at home. We help with car payment insurance.

00:12:05.610 --> 00:12:07.649
You're going to take on all that? Yeah. I'm like,

00:12:07.710 --> 00:12:11.570
you don't live on your own. There are some steps

00:12:11.570 --> 00:12:13.450
here in between that I think you're missing.

00:12:15.029 --> 00:12:17.470
I mean, do you know what you're going to do for

00:12:17.470 --> 00:12:19.509
money? Exactly. It's like, what are you going

00:12:19.509 --> 00:12:21.389
to do for a job? You know, we're trying to line

00:12:21.389 --> 00:12:25.250
up this stuff for the electrical, but you've

00:12:25.250 --> 00:12:27.470
got to do that here pretty quick and make a commitment.

00:12:27.529 --> 00:12:30.210
And then you can't just give up on that commitment.

00:12:31.009 --> 00:12:33.409
Could you try to find it in Austin? Yeah, sure.

00:12:33.549 --> 00:12:36.809
We could probably try to find it, but we don't

00:12:36.809 --> 00:12:38.990
know anybody there. We're here. We at least know

00:12:38.990 --> 00:12:40.710
a few folks that could try to help us through

00:12:40.710 --> 00:12:43.470
the process. Right. And it's just kind of like,

00:12:43.870 --> 00:12:46.570
I don't think that this idea is fully thought

00:12:46.570 --> 00:12:49.429
through. And you try to have that conversation.

00:12:49.509 --> 00:12:53.009
And of course, it's not taken constructively.

00:12:53.970 --> 00:12:57.870
You're just being the mean parent who wants to

00:12:57.870 --> 00:13:00.250
hold him back and doesn't want him to experience

00:13:00.250 --> 00:13:04.009
life. And it's like, no, no, no. I can potentially

00:13:04.009 --> 00:13:06.909
see why you might feel that way a little bit.

00:13:06.970 --> 00:13:09.970
But no, this is one of those where as you're

00:13:09.970 --> 00:13:15.129
a parent, I need to go, hold on. let's think

00:13:15.129 --> 00:13:19.110
this through because you're, you're, in my opinion,

00:13:19.129 --> 00:13:21.450
you're jumping three or four steps ahead here.

00:13:22.110 --> 00:13:24.970
There's a, let's get you somewhere here where

00:13:24.970 --> 00:13:28.149
you live on your own. Prove yourself for a year

00:13:28.149 --> 00:13:30.570
that you can stand on your own two feet. You

00:13:30.570 --> 00:13:32.490
pay for everything. We're not splitting anything

00:13:32.490 --> 00:13:36.169
with you. And then you could go, okay, I think

00:13:36.169 --> 00:13:40.269
now I can make that bigger leap out there. Cause

00:13:40.269 --> 00:13:46.100
it's like, You can't go into this decision thinking,

00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:47.960
well, if all else fails, I'll just go back home

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.799
with mom and dad. Because you're setting yourself

00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.899
up for failure. You're giving yourself an out.

00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.399
All else will fail. I just want you to know.

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.419
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And it's the same

00:13:56.419 --> 00:13:58.299
thing we talk to people that are getting married.

00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.059
It's like, you can't go in thinking, well, I

00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:02.820
can always get divorced. It's like, no, you've

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:04.700
already set yourself up. Yeah, let's not do that.

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:07.200
That's not an option. You just got to go. And

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.059
once you're in, you're in. And so it's just kind

00:14:09.059 --> 00:14:11.200
of like, it's not that if he goes and it goes

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.860
bad, we're going to say, oh, you can't come back

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:17.000
home. But it's the, we tried to tell you, we

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.399
tried to teach you, we tried to educate you,

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.600
hold off, hold off. But you went, it's your decision

00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:27.980
to make. I will respect that. Yeah. But you really

00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:29.500
need to be prepared for what you're asking for

00:14:29.500 --> 00:14:31.860
here. And let me just tell you what that is.

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.240
Adulthood sucks. Yes, it does. Not trying to

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.480
be a jerk. It just sucks. Yeah. So we're trying

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.820
to figure that out. Obviously, there's time between

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:45.320
now and May. Lots of things could change. Yeah.

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:48.860
A girl could pop into the picture, which is a

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:52.700
total curveball. I mean, come on. I've seen it

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:56.259
happen many times. Yeah. And he may end up with

00:14:56.259 --> 00:15:00.019
a job opportunity that he just can't refuse unless

00:15:00.019 --> 00:15:03.379
you're going to be crazy. Yeah. So, I mean, I,

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:05.620
I mean, I'd be fully, fully on board with like,

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:08.100
Hey, I want to live in Austin. Okay. Like when

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:14.279
you, when you are able to like figure that out,

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:15.799
how you're going to make that happen or have

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.120
like a job interview or, I don't know. It was

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.820
just, I almost feel like I'm a bank going, show

00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:25.759
me your business plan. Yeah. What, what do you,

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:28.120
what do you think is going to happen? Yeah. Cause

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:32.059
I can tell you what's. Like all the ways that

00:15:32.059 --> 00:15:34.799
that goes sideways. Oh, yeah. Pretty quick. And

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.580
that's fine as long as you're, I mean, you know,

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.279
that's part of life. Failure. Big failure. That's

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:46.879
how you learn. Setting yourself up for, you know,

00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.139
I think there is some level of like when you're

00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:53.580
parenting, you got to understand that they don't

00:15:53.580 --> 00:16:00.399
have the cost. benefit analysis that you do but

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.600
that you also had to come by that the hard way

00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.279
oh yeah um and so there's a lot of times where

00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.500
i'm like um yeah that's a really bad idea but

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:16.759
i guess if you don't um the other side of that

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.100
is if you don't if you don't ever let your kid

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:23.639
experience really bad ideas yeah then they just

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.029
they think that bad things never happen to them.

00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:28.850
Correct. It's like, no, they do all the time.

00:16:28.909 --> 00:16:30.889
I just have always, you know, made sure that

00:16:30.889 --> 00:16:33.629
you didn't feel any consequences for that. Yeah.

00:16:33.690 --> 00:16:35.889
Which is not good. Well, there's always the,

00:16:35.990 --> 00:16:39.649
as a parent, you go, that's not going to hurt

00:16:39.649 --> 00:16:41.950
so bad. They'll, they'll dust themselves off.

00:16:42.090 --> 00:16:44.690
Yeah. And you let it go. Yeah. And then there

00:16:44.690 --> 00:16:46.730
are the some that you're just like, no, no, no,

00:16:46.730 --> 00:16:49.610
no, wait, that hurts. Don't do that. That one,

00:16:49.610 --> 00:16:51.649
that one really is painful. Yeah. That leaves

00:16:51.649 --> 00:16:55.320
lasting marks. Don't do that. They just don't

00:16:55.320 --> 00:17:00.200
listen. No, no. The parents just don't understand.

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.819
Exactly. So that's the newest. That's pretty

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:06.720
big. Thing in our house. Yeah. Trying to figure

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.700
that out. No big deal. Just walking through the

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:12.299
big stuff. Yeah. Let me know how that goes so

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:18.099
I can, you know, prepare for my children. We

00:17:18.099 --> 00:17:21.220
knew eventually it was coming. Sure. But we weren't

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:23.720
thinking Austin. If he said, hey, we're going

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.259
to get an apartment here in town. That's very

00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:29.339
different. Sure. That's a good first logical

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:32.980
leap. You're going to have a roommate. You're

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:35.980
going to split the costs and you're going to

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:39.319
figure this thing out. But five hours away, crazy

00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:42.500
expensive. Yeah. A bunch of crazy people. Very

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:45.220
different world. Oh, yeah. I mean, when I was

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:48.779
his age, I had no concept of cost of living.

00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:51.589
So that makes total sense to me. Nope. That it

00:17:51.589 --> 00:17:54.170
would be like, what are you talking about? It

00:17:54.170 --> 00:17:58.869
costs to live? Yes, it costs to live. It does.

00:17:59.029 --> 00:18:01.029
I'm not even talking about the hard stuff yet.

00:18:01.049 --> 00:18:05.690
I'm just talking about living. Yep. L -I -V -I

00:18:05.690 --> 00:18:11.210
-N, man. Living. Just living. I stay the same

00:18:11.210 --> 00:18:14.609
age? No, no, they stay the same age. Yeah, what

00:18:14.609 --> 00:18:16.809
is it? I get older, they stay the same age? Yeah.

00:18:18.750 --> 00:18:22.329
Yikes. There's your movie reference. It's been

00:18:22.329 --> 00:18:24.349
a while since I've watched that one. Oh, yeah.

00:18:24.410 --> 00:18:25.990
I don't remember the last time I saw that. I

00:18:25.990 --> 00:18:28.849
mean, probably for good reason. It's just one

00:18:28.849 --> 00:18:35.869
of those ones. You got anything else going on?

00:18:38.289 --> 00:18:41.289
No, no, that's kind of the kind of it in our

00:18:41.289 --> 00:18:45.910
house. I mean, obviously. Thanksgiving has happened

00:18:45.910 --> 00:18:48.970
and Christmas is coming up and. It'll be a different

00:18:48.970 --> 00:18:50.930
Christmas because Bob and Barbara, my in -laws,

00:18:51.029 --> 00:18:55.069
will be in South Dakota still. So we won't do

00:18:55.069 --> 00:18:57.569
Christmas Eve with them, which will mean that

00:18:57.569 --> 00:19:00.430
Christmas Eve we can just kind of chill and do

00:19:00.430 --> 00:19:02.609
our own thing. I don't even know what that's

00:19:02.609 --> 00:19:04.750
like. Yeah, Christmas will be a little different

00:19:04.750 --> 00:19:08.970
because my niece and her husband will be in Wyoming.

00:19:09.990 --> 00:19:12.910
Okay. We're doing early Christmas with them a

00:19:12.910 --> 00:19:16.509
week from tomorrow. Nice. And then that following

00:19:16.509 --> 00:19:18.910
Saturday, then they're taking off to Wyoming

00:19:18.910 --> 00:19:22.150
because he's in the Air Force and he's going

00:19:22.150 --> 00:19:26.630
to be stationed in Cheyenne. Nice. So they're

00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:30.210
going to figure out cost of living too. Yeah.

00:19:30.509 --> 00:19:32.549
It's a very different world. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

00:19:32.589 --> 00:19:34.910
because she's obviously leaving her job here,

00:19:35.109 --> 00:19:38.069
got to find a job there. They already know that

00:19:38.069 --> 00:19:42.529
there's no on -base living for them. Oh, that's

00:19:42.529 --> 00:19:44.890
going to suck. But so that he will, for that,

00:19:44.890 --> 00:19:48.029
we'll get a stipend. Okay. To offset that. But

00:19:48.029 --> 00:19:49.410
that sounds like the kind of thing that would

00:19:49.410 --> 00:19:54.430
be like, given all of it, they're all given the

00:19:54.430 --> 00:19:57.369
same stipend no matter where they live. And that's

00:19:57.369 --> 00:20:00.589
not where you want to be. Correct. Because it's

00:20:00.589 --> 00:20:04.490
not going to be as expensive as it probably needs

00:20:04.490 --> 00:20:07.190
to be. Yeah. So we'll see how that one goes.

00:20:09.990 --> 00:20:17.339
Yeah. Maddie is 20, and Brayden is 20 as well.

00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.599
These kids. Yes. Just running off to do their

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.980
own thing. Yes, yes, yes. So other than that,

00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:31.039
no, not a whole lot going on there. I told you,

00:20:31.059 --> 00:20:35.680
I don't know if I told you, about telling Lori

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:40.160
that we only had, what is it now, five more years

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:42.400
with Maddie? Yeah. In the house. And she was

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:47.599
like, uh, no, sorry. You never know. Not trying

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.839
to be a jerk, but that's what you need to prepare

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:58.839
yourself for. Yeah. Eesh. Um, you got a big anniversary

00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:03.980
coming up. I do. I do. Yes. Friday, 20, 20 years,

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:07.559
20 whole years. Hard to believe. Hard to believe.

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:11.400
I thought three to five tops. When you started,

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.140
you thought three to five tops. Yeah, I figured

00:21:13.140 --> 00:21:15.880
three to five tops. I didn't necessarily think

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.599
I would stay in ministry. I figured I'd be off

00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.859
to whatever is the next step in being an IT professional.

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:29.859
And 20 years later, still here. Still here. Still

00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:31.259
trying to figure out what's next in being an

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:34.160
IT professional. Yeah, no kidding. There's been

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.000
a lot of next, actually. It's just been very

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:42.559
weird. Oh yes. I'm sure. So yeah, that's a, that's

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:46.299
this Friday. That's this Friday. Yeah. Golly.

00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.880
Yeah. I am mentally preparing myself for the

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:58.720
10 to 11 party at the HQ. It's going to be draining

00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:02.819
for me because it means a ton of social interaction.

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.000
Well, so I've got a, there, there will be people

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.500
there for sure. Hopefully they'll talk to each

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:11.680
other. Well, they will. Just kind of stand next

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.400
to Michelle. Yes. We're just over here in the

00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:16.859
corner. Don't mind us. It's fine. I'm having

00:22:16.859 --> 00:22:19.440
a very serious conversation with my dad. We're

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.339
going to slip into the back closet and check

00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:24.400
on this AV gear. You guys talk amongst yourselves.

00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:31.779
Yeah. So, yeah, preparing for that. Yeah. And

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:39.740
then there will be a very small lunch. Speaking

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:41.640
of, Garrett let the cat out of the bag on where

00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.440
we're going. Oh, man, Garrett. He sent me a picture

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.160
the other day, and he's like, is this you? And

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.559
I'm like, technically, that's my boss, but yes.

00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:55.420
He's like, you kind of let the cat out of the

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:59.720
bag. Buddy. He's like, well, okay. We're going

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.839
to Bernard's. It's going to be great. It's going

00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:03.799
to be great food. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I said

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.079
that. I didn't think that that's actually where

00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:09.519
we would go. No, no, no. That was kind of like

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:12.960
we told our kids, you know, when we're asked,

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.160
where do you want to go eat? Right. Don't be

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:17.480
afraid to aim big. Yeah, because you never know

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:18.700
if it's going to be yes. Sometimes you might

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:20.859
get a yes, but you may get knocked down a couple

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:23.160
of notches. Yeah. But it's better than coming

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.440
in on the low end and immediately getting a yes

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.519
and then finding out that you may be able to.

00:23:28.029 --> 00:23:31.150
get a couple more levels up. So it was one of

00:23:31.150 --> 00:23:33.349
those that give us some places where you'd like

00:23:33.349 --> 00:23:38.569
to go. Bernard's here, here, here. Uh, let it

00:23:38.569 --> 00:23:42.710
happen. So I'm going to tell you what mine, um,

00:23:42.970 --> 00:23:50.849
like lower cost option was. What, what would

00:23:50.849 --> 00:23:56.500
your, I had put, so the next level down, Would

00:23:56.500 --> 00:24:00.119
be something kind of like an Outback -ish type

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.700
of, you can still get a decent steak. And then

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:07.380
below that, then I start getting into Jason's

00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:13.400
and Nuke's and places like that. I said China

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:18.400
Chef and Chandler. That would be a throwback.

00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:22.259
I was like, it would be hilarious. Total throwback.

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.609
Especially if Helen's still there. I hear that

00:24:25.609 --> 00:24:28.849
they're leaving. Are leaving, not have already

00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:31.269
left? Yeah, I'm hearing that they're leaving,

00:24:31.349 --> 00:24:33.690
that they're going to shut it down. Her family

00:24:33.690 --> 00:24:36.730
is going back to China. Okay. And they are moving

00:24:36.730 --> 00:24:41.829
to Austin. Oh. Okay. So, we'll see. Went by there

00:24:41.829 --> 00:24:45.069
the other day with Jeff Olcheski, and it was

00:24:45.069 --> 00:24:48.349
still open. Well, there you go. So, we'll see.

00:24:48.349 --> 00:24:50.430
But you went by there the other day with Jeff

00:24:50.430 --> 00:24:54.349
Olcheski. Yeah, we went to have... Lunch at the

00:24:54.349 --> 00:24:57.329
new Mexican place. I'm not going to remember

00:24:57.329 --> 00:25:03.910
the name. In Chandler. It was good. Not. Oh my

00:25:03.910 --> 00:25:05.170
gosh. Now I can't even remember what it was called.

00:25:05.170 --> 00:25:06.309
Oh yeah. I'm not going to remember the original

00:25:06.309 --> 00:25:09.970
name. That's hilarious. Well. But it's the one

00:25:09.970 --> 00:25:12.349
whole Mexican restaurant that I know of in Chandler.

00:25:12.569 --> 00:25:14.690
Right. So if you know Chandler and you're going

00:25:14.690 --> 00:25:15.910
through there, you know what I'm talking about.

00:25:16.309 --> 00:25:20.650
It's the only one. Yeah. The last time I drove

00:25:20.650 --> 00:25:23.369
through there, there were a lot of. Places that

00:25:23.369 --> 00:25:25.470
didn't used to be there. Oh, yeah. It's like,

00:25:25.529 --> 00:25:27.250
wow. Chandler's like a city now. They have a

00:25:27.250 --> 00:25:30.690
Starbucks. What is going on? Yeah. It's still

00:25:30.690 --> 00:25:33.730
a town. It is. It is, but they have a Starbucks,

00:25:33.750 --> 00:25:37.170
so that's a good anchor spot. Mm -hmm. And things

00:25:37.170 --> 00:25:41.630
will naturally show up around. Always. And when

00:25:41.630 --> 00:25:43.390
they get their Walmart, they're going to explode.

00:25:44.609 --> 00:25:49.170
Goodness. Where are they going to put a Walmart?

00:25:51.439 --> 00:25:53.519
You don't know? You're just saying when they

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.599
get their Walmart. Yeah, no, for sure. That's

00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:58.460
a different level. There's a little bit of land

00:25:58.460 --> 00:26:02.400
as you're heading into town, and there's quite

00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.720
a bit, actually, once you get past the main light

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:09.119
there. Oh, no, I didn't know any of that was

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.480
for sale is what I'm saying. Oh, it's always

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:13.220
for sale for the right number. Yeah, for the

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:14.740
right number. It just seems like the kind of

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:16.279
thing that those people are going to hold on

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:19.099
to for a while. And that would be wise. Yep,

00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:22.650
because. That's how that goes. We originally

00:26:22.650 --> 00:26:24.190
went there because we were going to go to Wade's

00:26:24.190 --> 00:26:26.410
place. Oh, man. Wade's place. But because it

00:26:26.410 --> 00:26:29.849
was Thanksgiving week, they were closed. They

00:26:29.849 --> 00:26:33.549
were closed the whole week? The whole week. That's

00:26:33.549 --> 00:26:36.210
sad. That's what they do, though. That ribeye

00:26:36.210 --> 00:26:39.890
sandwich with the fries. Oh, my gosh. It's so

00:26:39.890 --> 00:26:47.369
good. All right. I'm going to stop thinking about

00:26:47.369 --> 00:26:50.730
that because. I'm going to drink this beer. Hey,

00:26:50.769 --> 00:26:53.130
I went to the road website, and it says that

00:26:53.130 --> 00:26:59.650
they're estimating that the delivery is going

00:26:59.650 --> 00:27:04.690
to be December 22nd. Oh, just in time for Christmas.

00:27:06.250 --> 00:27:09.349
We technically, well, let me check the calendar.

00:27:09.750 --> 00:27:11.329
I don't know when that's going to happen. I don't

00:27:11.329 --> 00:27:14.049
want to promise anything here. No, we're not

00:27:14.049 --> 00:27:17.630
promising anything. So if you get it on the 22nd.

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.579
We are technically scheduled to do a show the

00:27:20.579 --> 00:27:26.400
next day, the 23rd. It could happen. It could

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.079
happen. And I'm not saying we're going to do

00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:32.900
video. No, no, we don't need to be trying to

00:27:32.900 --> 00:27:36.140
do video the first day that we have it. Why isn't

00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:38.380
this working? Oh my gosh, that would be terrible.

00:27:38.579 --> 00:27:42.339
We don't have a great track record with just...

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:45.180
On the fly trying to add something. It's the

00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:47.660
remote stuff that gets us. Oh, no, for sure it

00:27:47.660 --> 00:27:52.380
does. And we have real gear. It's not like we're

00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:55.759
using cheap gray market and going, why isn't

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:58.859
this working? I mean, we have road gear. It's

00:27:58.859 --> 00:28:01.980
good gear. And I listen to other podcasters do

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:06.079
it. And it works. And I'm sitting there going,

00:28:06.339 --> 00:28:11.190
am I just that stupid? Because they make it look

00:28:11.190 --> 00:28:19.130
easy. What am I doing wrong here? Yes. Nice.

00:28:19.630 --> 00:28:24.009
Yeah. Got number two out and everything. I haven't

00:28:24.009 --> 00:28:32.150
made it there yet. Yeah, I actually have another

00:28:32.150 --> 00:28:36.589
story for you on Monday. My parents switched.

00:28:38.650 --> 00:28:45.410
ISPs, um, to AT &T from Texas. Oh, they left

00:28:45.410 --> 00:28:47.730
Texas. Yeah. They haven't had a good experience.

00:28:47.910 --> 00:28:52.630
Wow. I'm, I'm, I'm finding this kind of, um,

00:28:52.910 --> 00:28:57.289
yeah, in different areas of Tyler, like, well,

00:28:57.349 --> 00:28:59.589
and I, I say different areas. Like I had a much

00:28:59.589 --> 00:29:02.750
better experience than Chad did with them putting

00:29:02.750 --> 00:29:06.170
vexus in. Okay. Um, and like lately there've

00:29:06.170 --> 00:29:09.700
been some, slower, like what is going on, uh,

00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:14.279
moments on our, on our network. But, um, on the

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.359
whole, I haven't had really that many problems.

00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:21.079
Um, mom and dad have had a lot and especially

00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:24.619
speed related, like watching something streaming

00:29:24.619 --> 00:29:27.819
and it's buffering like the entire time and things

00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:32.680
like that. And so, uh, it's always DNS. It's

00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:38.730
always DNS. Um, So they decided to switch. And

00:29:38.730 --> 00:29:41.269
I was like, okay, well, this time when you're

00:29:41.269 --> 00:29:43.349
switching, we're just going to tell them that

00:29:43.349 --> 00:29:45.829
we're not going to use their stuff. Yes. And

00:29:45.829 --> 00:29:50.369
I will bring over the equipment and we will set

00:29:50.369 --> 00:29:55.109
you up. I smell ubiquity. Yeah. So they've got

00:29:55.109 --> 00:29:58.730
a dream machine over there. Oh, nice. It's a

00:29:58.730 --> 00:30:00.549
dream machine that I have set up in a different

00:30:00.549 --> 00:30:03.369
situation before. So I was having to try to like.

00:30:04.009 --> 00:30:06.170
retrofit everything so i got over there early

00:30:06.170 --> 00:30:09.910
and i was trying to not like reset the entire

00:30:09.910 --> 00:30:12.109
thing i just wanted to like make some adjustments

00:30:12.109 --> 00:30:14.930
and everything like that and i'm telling you

00:30:14.930 --> 00:30:19.930
like i sat there for i don't know i got over

00:30:19.930 --> 00:30:25.190
there maybe 10 10 30 and i sat there uh for an

00:30:25.190 --> 00:30:30.369
hour okay getting it to connect on their old

00:30:30.369 --> 00:30:36.690
network okay using their old fiber um and i was

00:30:36.690 --> 00:30:39.670
like okay okay so we're we're good like i don't

00:30:39.670 --> 00:30:41.470
this isn't going to be a problem the guy comes

00:30:41.470 --> 00:30:43.710
over he starts doing everything and i'm walking

00:30:43.710 --> 00:30:45.410
him through like actually this is where they

00:30:45.410 --> 00:30:49.150
um i actually didn't know where they came in

00:30:49.150 --> 00:30:51.609
which was funny because i thought it was in a

00:30:51.609 --> 00:30:54.670
different place altogether but um they run the

00:30:54.670 --> 00:31:00.730
line from uh uh where their vault is and then

00:31:00.730 --> 00:31:04.490
came around and i was like just come in through

00:31:04.490 --> 00:31:08.670
the um attic here and then you can drop down

00:31:08.670 --> 00:31:14.130
this wall you can even use the um cable that's

00:31:14.130 --> 00:31:18.170
in the wall right here no big deal um and so

00:31:18.170 --> 00:31:21.130
they do all that they pull through and then he

00:31:21.130 --> 00:31:27.170
pulls out a box like this is not just a splice

00:31:27.170 --> 00:31:32.759
it's not just the little modem with the you know

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.660
network jack on it this is a full -blown like

00:31:35.660 --> 00:31:42.559
the combo yeah it's the modem router yeah ap

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:45.779
combo that they put in everywhere and i was like

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:49.299
uh i don't like that is there i don't i would

00:31:49.299 --> 00:31:52.160
rather not and he was like well this is what

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.660
we use so you just plug into this it'll be fine

00:31:54.660 --> 00:31:57.660
and i was like i think I don't, I don't think

00:31:57.660 --> 00:32:00.440
that's going to like, I, I, you're not giving

00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:04.579
me full access to that. Correct. I'm not going

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:07.099
to have like admin, right? He's like, well, yeah,

00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.460
you do. And so he like, this is how you log into

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:11.519
it. Do you use this app? You connect on this

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:13.819
app or whatever. And I was like, well, I don't

00:32:13.819 --> 00:32:19.140
like where this is going. Sure enough. He does

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:22.140
his thing, plugs it in, runs his little test

00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:24.700
on it. And he's like, yeah, we're getting 1200

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:28.539
up and down. or something like that okay i was

00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:31.640
like that's great um and he's like you need anything

00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:34.140
else for me i was like well i don't know but

00:32:34.140 --> 00:32:37.400
we're i guess we're gonna find out yeah so he

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:42.720
takes off and i plug that thing into um uh the

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:48.900
dream machine and it just does not like it it's

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:53.799
not pulling um it's got a you know i had it set

00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:59.039
for I was going to do fancy and have two different

00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:04.900
VLANs and be able to do, um, I don't know, some

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:07.539
segmentation inside of it and everything. And

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:13.779
it like, it was just, it took me the next two

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:18.559
and a half hours, at least maybe three hours

00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:28.079
to get the thing to even, um, you know, have

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.859
any kind of throughput. Like there was, it was

00:33:30.859 --> 00:33:38.900
like the, whatever DNS that other box was, you

00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:42.839
know, handing out or whatever was just like struggling

00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:49.880
to try to handshake with the dream machine. Finally

00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:54.359
found a, setting on it like you know digging

00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:56.279
through like all the different like i don't know

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:59.460
this software i don't know the interface at all

00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:01.519
yeah finally found one that was like a downstream

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:04.819
router allowing a downstream router and i was

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:16.460
like cool um but did it fix it uh i don't know

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:18.340
like you know it's one of those things that when

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:20.400
you've been doing um when you've been trying

00:34:22.070 --> 00:34:26.230
solutions for a couple hours you get to the impatient

00:34:26.230 --> 00:34:29.230
point where you're like i'm gonna do this and

00:34:29.230 --> 00:34:32.210
this and this yeah and then i'm gonna restart

00:34:32.210 --> 00:34:37.829
because i am tired of restarting every two minutes

00:34:37.829 --> 00:34:41.630
sure for one setting at a time because i don't

00:34:41.630 --> 00:34:43.949
know if you've restarted a dream machine in a

00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:49.019
while thanks well it's It's a lot longer than

00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:52.320
I was hoping. Yes. I think the Express might

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.860
be faster. I would think so, especially being

00:34:55.860 --> 00:35:01.360
new hardware. I mean, this is a DR7, like your

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:04.920
UDR7, whatever they call them now. Yeah. So I

00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:10.039
don't know. I was just having Apple trash can

00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:14.239
flashbacks. Please don't. Please don't be a problem.

00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:19.239
because i would hate to like talk you know ubiquity

00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.840
up to this guy and he's like yeah no they're

00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.340
great like that's i say they're second best or

00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:25.840
whatever and i was like what do you think is

00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:35.000
first best um and he didn't say um um ero who

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:40.420
did he say it was not one of the like top you

00:35:40.420 --> 00:35:43.440
know he wasn't talking about he didn't he didn't

00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:47.030
say cisco he didn't say Whatever. It was definitely

00:35:47.030 --> 00:35:52.250
in the consumer category that he was talking

00:35:52.250 --> 00:35:56.769
about. Netgear or anything like that? No, it

00:35:56.769 --> 00:35:59.730
wasn't Netgear. It wasn't Aruba. It wasn't Dell.

00:36:01.510 --> 00:36:04.630
There's the one that tries to be a competitor

00:36:04.630 --> 00:36:10.809
to Ubiquiti. Fortinet. That's who we use, but

00:36:10.809 --> 00:36:13.070
I wouldn't put them in the... TP -Link is who

00:36:13.070 --> 00:36:16.230
I hear a lot of people... Talking about now,

00:36:16.329 --> 00:36:18.610
that's the one that's carried by Best Buy. Yeah,

00:36:18.670 --> 00:36:22.010
that one scares me. Some of the potential for

00:36:22.010 --> 00:36:23.969
the Chinese backdoors in that one makes me a

00:36:23.969 --> 00:36:31.110
little nervous. Anyway. Not Ekahau. Oh, what

00:36:31.110 --> 00:36:40.110
is it? Oh, my gosh. I should know this. I was

00:36:40.110 --> 00:36:47.809
looking at it the other day. Omada, which I think

00:36:47.809 --> 00:36:50.369
is technically TP -Link. Yeah, no, that's TP

00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:53.070
-Link. But that wasn't what he was talking about?

00:36:53.190 --> 00:36:56.690
I think it had a B in it. Anyway, I was definitely

00:36:56.690 --> 00:37:01.230
like, yeah, I don't think so, man. I'm not sure

00:37:01.230 --> 00:37:04.710
they're beating out Ubiquiti. And when I said

00:37:04.710 --> 00:37:08.710
that, I was like, I just really like Ubiquiti's

00:37:08.710 --> 00:37:11.010
single pane of glass. And you could see his eyes

00:37:11.010 --> 00:37:16.690
went. Yeah. It's never a good, oh, ingenious

00:37:16.690 --> 00:37:19.530
maybe? No. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to be out of

00:37:19.530 --> 00:37:23.989
ideas. Yeah, it's never a pleasant feeling when

00:37:23.989 --> 00:37:27.170
you're talking to tech support. Yeah. And it

00:37:27.170 --> 00:37:30.130
becomes obvious that you know more than they

00:37:30.130 --> 00:37:32.789
do. I was like, I don't. And it's like, oh boy,

00:37:32.889 --> 00:37:34.389
this is not going to go well. I don't know what's

00:37:34.389 --> 00:37:37.789
about to happen here, but I don't think that

00:37:37.789 --> 00:37:40.539
I can ask you the questions that I'm. Because,

00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:42.280
you know, there was part of me that was like,

00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.920
as soon as he was like, yeah, no, it's fine for

00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:47.920
it to be, you know, just plug it in afterwards.

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:54.019
I was like, I think maybe you are hoping that

00:37:54.019 --> 00:37:58.679
it's fine. So were they giving you a copper handoff?

00:37:59.019 --> 00:38:02.199
No. Oh, sorry. Yeah, no, it is copper. Or is

00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:04.380
it fiber into their box? It's fiber into their

00:38:04.380 --> 00:38:05.880
box and then copper into mine. And then copper

00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:10.579
out. Okay, so I... Now, that Dream Machine doesn't

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:14.960
have an SFP, does it? It does. Their SFP, though,

00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:18.840
is not the kind that I have in stock. Sure, but

00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:21.780
the AT &T box, does it have an SFP in it? It

00:38:21.780 --> 00:38:26.659
does. Okay, so I don't know if it will translate

00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:30.900
to that hardware. I did try. But I saw a video

00:38:30.900 --> 00:38:38.550
of a guy who found a way to make the AT &T. sfp

00:38:38.550 --> 00:38:42.230
work in his ubiquity gear oh i'm about to i'll

00:38:42.230 --> 00:38:47.050
have to try to track that down um but it was

00:38:47.050 --> 00:38:50.369
a lot of work oh man well but i mean if you get

00:38:50.369 --> 00:38:52.730
it in the end i mean it would be really nice

00:38:52.730 --> 00:38:55.170
it's worth it's worth the headache i mean that

00:38:55.170 --> 00:38:57.469
was me to well didn't mean that whoops sorry

00:38:57.469 --> 00:39:02.369
folks yeah it was um it was definitely one of

00:39:02.369 --> 00:39:04.929
those i was like i you know what i'm gonna try

00:39:04.929 --> 00:39:08.909
it I'm going to see, like I'm going to plug this

00:39:08.909 --> 00:39:11.969
SFP in. I'm not going to force anything or whatever.

00:39:12.070 --> 00:39:15.670
It's a very weird little jack that they have

00:39:15.670 --> 00:39:22.869
on that. I'll send it to you. Nice. Okay. So

00:39:22.869 --> 00:39:30.530
there's a possibility there. It was not what

00:39:30.530 --> 00:39:34.110
I was hoping for that day. I was kind of hoping

00:39:34.110 --> 00:39:37.000
I would. get there early and get things settled

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:41.719
so that when I needed to just whatever, Oh, what,

00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:45.380
what seemed to make the most difference was resetting

00:39:45.380 --> 00:39:51.400
the, um, dream machines. Um, not, not the whole

00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:53.059
thing. I didn't reset the whole thing. I did.

00:39:53.079 --> 00:40:00.659
I, I reset the, um, um, the beginning address

00:40:00.659 --> 00:40:04.860
of the, um, IP. I was like, this thing is starting

00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:11.079
like the, I, I, the, the like process that my

00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:14.579
brain was going down was my, like I had set up

00:40:14.579 --> 00:40:17.960
the dream machine to start at zero dot one and

00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.559
then go. Okay. Um, and then the VLAN after that

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.599
to be one dot and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:29.719
blah. The neck year was starting at one dot.

00:40:30.860 --> 00:40:33.619
And I was like, there's, This doesn't matter.

00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:37.460
This should not matter at all. But I'm going

00:40:37.460 --> 00:40:42.079
to start at 2 .0. So AT &T was doing 192 .168

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:47.320
.1? Yeah. And it didn't start at 1 .1. It started

00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:51.460
at 1 .64 or something like that. But then your

00:40:51.460 --> 00:40:55.719
Ubiquiti gear was trying to do... 0 .1. 0 .1.

00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:58.199
So that's two different subnets. So that should

00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:03.539
have still worked. Yep. Interesting. I'm just

00:41:03.539 --> 00:41:06.599
saying that not a lot of it made sense what I

00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:11.159
was running into. So your brain starts to do

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:12.940
the like, what are the things that don't make

00:41:12.940 --> 00:41:17.139
sense? Sure, sure. What if I do this instead?

00:41:17.460 --> 00:41:20.880
I probably would have led with, I'm doing a factory

00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:23.539
reset of this. Yeah. And I'm going to start from

00:41:23.539 --> 00:41:27.599
scratch. Yeah. And it sounds like that wouldn't

00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.300
even have been a guarantee that it would work.

00:41:32.509 --> 00:41:34.809
Okay. But, I mean, that would have been my approach.

00:41:34.949 --> 00:41:37.429
I would have factory wiped it, let them get it

00:41:37.429 --> 00:41:40.429
set up. I'm like, okay, great. I'm going to plug

00:41:40.429 --> 00:41:42.690
my computer into your gear first and make sure

00:41:42.690 --> 00:41:45.829
it works and do my own testing. Yeah. And then

00:41:45.829 --> 00:41:48.610
now I'm going to introduce this and see what

00:41:48.610 --> 00:41:52.510
happens. Yeah. I did end up at the end of it

00:41:52.510 --> 00:41:55.849
going back in and disabling their Wi -Fi. Oh,

00:41:55.869 --> 00:41:57.750
absolutely. Because I was like, you know what

00:41:57.750 --> 00:41:59.780
we're not going to do? No, we're not going to

00:41:59.780 --> 00:42:01.420
have that. Just have your antenna trying to mess

00:42:01.420 --> 00:42:03.659
with my antenna. No, no, no. Get it out of there.

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:08.539
So that was fun. And that took a while. Again,

00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:12.719
I just, I'm always so, I feel like I'm babied

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:16.300
now by Ubiquiti's interface. Sure. Sure. There

00:42:16.300 --> 00:42:18.420
are still a lot of times that I'm going through

00:42:18.420 --> 00:42:22.440
something and I'm like, I think that they hid

00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:26.769
that. Like they kind of buried that. Yes. And

00:42:26.769 --> 00:42:29.210
they've got a few different things right now

00:42:29.210 --> 00:42:31.889
in their UI that are like, you can go here to

00:42:31.889 --> 00:42:33.550
find that or you can go here to find that, but

00:42:33.550 --> 00:42:37.429
if you are on your phone, neither one of them

00:42:37.429 --> 00:42:40.269
work. Correct. I'm like, okay, well, that's not

00:42:40.269 --> 00:42:43.429
helpful. Correct. I think they've all but gotten

00:42:43.429 --> 00:42:48.429
rid of the go to classic view because that was

00:42:48.429 --> 00:42:51.269
the bad thing there for a while is in the new

00:42:51.269 --> 00:42:53.900
view, you didn't see it. But if you flip back

00:42:53.900 --> 00:42:55.840
to the classic view, the settings you were looking

00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.619
for were there. I think they've pretty well ironed

00:42:59.619 --> 00:43:06.360
that out. The other thing that I would have done,

00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:08.320
it sounds like you didn't because you were using

00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:14.159
a Wi -Fi 7 dream machine for your folks. I, in

00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:15.920
the way I would have taken an approach to go,

00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:20.659
I have an opportunity to upgrade here. I'm going

00:43:20.659 --> 00:43:23.869
to get the new stuff. Hey, Mom and Dad, here's

00:43:23.869 --> 00:43:26.710
the old stuff. It's going to be amazing for you.

00:43:26.949 --> 00:43:28.889
You aren't even going to understand what it's

00:43:28.889 --> 00:43:30.829
doing in the background. That's true. They wouldn't

00:43:30.829 --> 00:43:34.409
know a thing. You wouldn't notice. Should have

00:43:34.409 --> 00:43:36.710
just done that. You missed an opportunity, man.

00:43:36.849 --> 00:43:40.909
I did, but, you know, it's my mother. I'm going

00:43:40.909 --> 00:43:43.690
to give her just the best that she possibly can.

00:43:45.130 --> 00:43:48.210
And that's great, but she's not going to know.

00:43:48.329 --> 00:43:53.280
No, she's not. It's going to be an underutilized

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.099
piece of hardware. You're right. It is. It's

00:43:55.099 --> 00:43:56.619
going to be totally underutilized, especially

00:43:56.619 --> 00:44:01.739
when I start buying them APs. I was trying to

00:44:01.739 --> 00:44:03.320
explain that. They were like, so do we need,

00:44:03.420 --> 00:44:05.360
because they had an extender with their old system.

00:44:05.579 --> 00:44:09.579
Oh, yeah. And they're like, do we need any other?

00:44:10.420 --> 00:44:12.139
And I don't know what they called it because.

00:44:13.610 --> 00:44:16.409
Do we need another thing over there? Over there.

00:44:16.409 --> 00:44:18.650
Something like that because they didn't know

00:44:18.650 --> 00:44:21.369
extender. Yeah. They didn't know anything. But

00:44:21.369 --> 00:44:24.289
I was like, I don't think so, but I'd love to

00:44:24.289 --> 00:44:27.090
see if you live with it for two weeks what it's

00:44:27.090 --> 00:44:30.929
like because they spend the huge majority of

00:44:30.929 --> 00:44:34.090
their lives in that house in two different rooms.

00:44:34.150 --> 00:44:38.750
Okay. Which is hilarious because it's bigger

00:44:38.750 --> 00:44:42.530
than that. Living room bedroom? They have a den.

00:44:42.769 --> 00:44:46.389
Okay. Which is like, it was like the original

00:44:46.389 --> 00:44:49.929
mother -in -law suite. So next to the kitchen,

00:44:50.010 --> 00:44:52.030
kind of on the other side of the house from the

00:44:52.030 --> 00:44:57.489
other bedrooms, they have this room with its

00:44:57.489 --> 00:44:59.889
own full bathroom. Yeah. And it's right next

00:44:59.889 --> 00:45:02.389
to the laundry room. And actually they spend

00:45:02.389 --> 00:45:06.030
most of their time there. Okay. But then if mom

00:45:06.030 --> 00:45:10.760
wants to watch something and dad wants to. watch

00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:14.599
his read or or if he's you know watching golf

00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:16.539
i guess or something like that he goes in the

00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:19.619
living room okay so they call that little mother

00:45:19.619 --> 00:45:21.880
-in -law suite they call that the den now okay

00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:24.139
yeah and they call the living room the living

00:45:24.139 --> 00:45:26.800
room but those are really the two rooms that

00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:31.019
they're in okay all the time and i do think that

00:45:31.019 --> 00:45:35.420
mom has taken to sleeping in the den she just

00:45:35.420 --> 00:45:38.099
falls asleep on her little couch and she's done

00:45:38.099 --> 00:45:41.829
but It's pretty funny. Get her a recliner. Oh,

00:45:41.869 --> 00:45:45.989
she's got one. It's a loveseat recliner. Oh.

00:45:46.329 --> 00:45:48.369
So she puts her feet up while she's watching,

00:45:48.510 --> 00:45:50.650
you know, the Rangers. And then it lights out.

00:45:50.690 --> 00:45:53.650
And then it lights out. Oh, she sounds like Jacob.

00:45:55.309 --> 00:45:57.610
Oh, yeah? When he starts watching anything on

00:45:57.610 --> 00:46:00.389
sports related or even a movie. Yeah. He's not

00:46:00.389 --> 00:46:02.250
going to finish it. He's out. I don't get that.

00:46:02.250 --> 00:46:06.269
He's out. Like, I cannot. Yeah. I mean, like,

00:46:06.289 --> 00:46:09.519
the other day. I guess, what, Monday? Although

00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:12.900
I think he made it through most of it. He's a

00:46:12.900 --> 00:46:15.320
Chargers fan, him and his wife, and they beat

00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:19.300
the Eagles in OT. Yeah. Huge win for the Chargers.

00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:23.380
What a weird game. Oh, yeah. Well, I was excited

00:46:23.380 --> 00:46:27.619
because we have to do, I shouldn't say we have

00:46:27.619 --> 00:46:32.659
to, although it feels that way, for work. We

00:46:32.659 --> 00:46:35.619
had to do fantasy football. Yeah, it does feel

00:46:35.619 --> 00:46:37.380
that way. And I was kind of like, yeah, you know,

00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.460
I got out of this for a reason because I started

00:46:39.460 --> 00:46:42.500
rooting against my own team. This is no fun.

00:46:43.420 --> 00:46:46.280
But we happen to have the Chargers defense, and

00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:49.079
they got us some decent points. Nice. Helps when

00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:51.500
they have, I think, three interceptions and a

00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:55.599
fumble recovery. I was like, holy cow. Yes. It's

00:46:55.599 --> 00:46:57.900
been a while since I saw a quarterback throw

00:46:57.900 --> 00:47:01.739
to the other team this much. I mean, was there

00:47:01.739 --> 00:47:04.420
one or two of them that was tipped? But there

00:47:04.420 --> 00:47:07.099
were quite a few in that game. Oh, yeah. There

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:09.260
were a bunch that it was like, why? Who are you

00:47:09.260 --> 00:47:11.639
throwing it to? Correct. I have no idea what

00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:14.059
you were just thinking. Correct. Jalen Hurts

00:47:14.059 --> 00:47:16.519
is not usually that guy. No, no, no, no. So we'll

00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:18.159
see what that means for Philly. I mean, they're

00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:21.599
not looking very good right now. And it's intriguing

00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:23.880
to see. Neither is Kansas City. Yeah, that's

00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:25.260
what I'm going to say. Both Super Bowl teams

00:47:25.260 --> 00:47:27.860
are looking pretty rough right now. Yep. And

00:47:27.860 --> 00:47:30.889
I feel like that loss to Philly. the Texans is

00:47:30.889 --> 00:47:37.150
all but a deal breaker for the chiefs. Oh yeah.

00:47:37.210 --> 00:47:39.409
That's, that's what that feels like. They think,

00:47:39.429 --> 00:47:41.989
I think they, after they lost to the Cowboys,

00:47:42.030 --> 00:47:44.369
they needed to win out. Yeah. I don't think that

00:47:44.369 --> 00:47:46.389
they, so if they're mathematically eliminated

00:47:46.389 --> 00:47:49.650
to me, that's, that's, that's crack open another

00:47:49.650 --> 00:47:53.090
beer party. It is. It is interesting that this

00:47:53.090 --> 00:47:56.849
is the, I think the first time. Oh yeah. And

00:47:56.849 --> 00:47:59.719
the Mahomes is since he's been a starter. That

00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:04.099
he's missed the playoffs, which I mean. It happens.

00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:06.840
Yeah. Wow. It happened to Brady. It did happen

00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:10.000
to Brady. So now what I think is going to be

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:13.840
intriguing is for them is that obviously Travis

00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:18.079
Kelsey, he's close to retirement. I think he

00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:21.699
is. And so once he's gone, are they going to

00:48:21.699 --> 00:48:23.360
find. Are they rebuilding? Yeah. What are they

00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:25.460
going to do? Are they going to find him? Because

00:48:25.460 --> 00:48:27.940
like for Brady, he went through a stint with

00:48:27.940 --> 00:48:30.780
no. tied in, and then finally they got him Gronk.

00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:33.780
Yeah. And he became the security blanket. Oh,

00:48:33.780 --> 00:48:35.699
yeah. So what is Mahomes going to do without

00:48:35.699 --> 00:48:38.039
that security blanket? I don't know. And I do

00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:41.900
think Kelsey may play longer than I expect him

00:48:41.900 --> 00:48:47.639
to play. He's not playing the position his brother

00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:52.840
played. No. But you can see a decline. Yeah,

00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.260
but I don't know if that's just because of relationship

00:48:55.260 --> 00:48:59.179
stuff. It is absolutely the Taylor Swift effect.

00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:01.539
I'm not trying to be that guy. It doesn't have

00:49:01.539 --> 00:49:04.039
anything to do with Taylor Swift in my mind.

00:49:04.059 --> 00:49:07.900
I'll be the guy. It's a girl. It's Taylor Swift

00:49:07.900 --> 00:49:13.860
effect. Okay. I think that when a guy really,

00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:22.460
really is into a girl. Yeah. It changes things.

00:49:22.619 --> 00:49:24.940
It changes things. Absolutely. There are other

00:49:24.940 --> 00:49:29.380
places you'd rather be. Sure. I'm just saying.

00:49:29.699 --> 00:49:32.340
Sure. And I would say, like, okay, but, like,

00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:36.380
she breaks up with him, I think he comes back

00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:39.940
with a vengeance. Oh, without a doubt. You just

00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:41.579
want to beat the crap out of somebody. I feel

00:49:41.579 --> 00:49:43.300
like if they would have won it last year and

00:49:43.300 --> 00:49:45.940
beat Philly, he absolutely would have retired

00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:48.599
on top. I don't know, man. I think he would.

00:49:48.780 --> 00:49:51.289
I really do. I think he would. Because you could

00:49:51.289 --> 00:49:53.530
already start to see the Taylor Swift effect

00:49:53.530 --> 00:49:56.010
last season. Yeah, I would say so. This season

00:49:56.010 --> 00:49:58.769
it's in full effect. Yeah, it really seems like

00:49:58.769 --> 00:50:03.869
it. Which, I mean, he may be like, I don't want

00:50:03.869 --> 00:50:06.329
to make that sound like something that it's not.

00:50:06.469 --> 00:50:09.630
I would imagine with somebody who is a professional

00:50:09.630 --> 00:50:14.130
athlete, he's probably one of the most competitive

00:50:14.130 --> 00:50:17.349
people in the world just based on that solely.

00:50:18.090 --> 00:50:20.769
But there is like there. I don't know if there's

00:50:20.769 --> 00:50:30.449
like a. I don't know how to put it like. Just

00:50:30.449 --> 00:50:33.010
listening to him and his brother talk because

00:50:33.010 --> 00:50:37.190
their podcast is hilarious. Yeah. Because they're

00:50:37.190 --> 00:50:40.329
brothers. I feel like there would be a lot of

00:50:40.329 --> 00:50:46.449
brother podcasts that are just funny. But he

00:50:46.449 --> 00:50:49.110
just doesn't like. You can tell he's competitive

00:50:49.110 --> 00:50:52.929
when he gets out there. Sure. And they talk about

00:50:52.929 --> 00:50:55.929
like the competition of it and everything like

00:50:55.929 --> 00:51:01.289
that. But they're so laid back. You know, they're

00:51:01.289 --> 00:51:05.150
not Michael Jordan. No. No, no. They're not like

00:51:05.150 --> 00:51:11.250
burning it all down for winning, which is amazing

00:51:11.250 --> 00:51:15.210
because both of them won a lot. Oh, yeah. I don't

00:51:15.210 --> 00:51:17.050
know. There's a lot of things to talk about with

00:51:17.050 --> 00:51:22.440
that. Moving into another segment of this episode

00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:25.699
that we don't have any whatever for, we have

00:51:25.699 --> 00:51:34.280
a tradition, custom, whatever, on staff at our

00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:38.480
church that when we do our Christmas party, we

00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:45.739
exchange shirts and we make each other draw names.

00:51:48.239 --> 00:51:50.239
buy a shirt for somebody i've heard about this

00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:54.179
shirt okay this shirt potentially yes oh dadgummit

00:51:54.179 --> 00:51:56.059
well i still want to see if it's what i'm thinking

00:51:56.059 --> 00:51:58.739
i am frustrated if somebody let this out of the

00:51:58.739 --> 00:52:02.900
bag anyway Chris has not technically ever been

00:52:02.900 --> 00:52:07.599
on staff, which I think is a tragedy, but he's

00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:10.539
worked here so much and for so many years. So

00:52:10.539 --> 00:52:12.780
I saw this shirt, and I was like, oh, I'm buying

00:52:12.780 --> 00:52:15.539
it for Chris as his Christmas shirt. Because

00:52:15.539 --> 00:52:18.940
if I remember correctly, you got the shirt from

00:52:18.940 --> 00:52:25.780
Rustin's wife. Am I wrong? Yes. I got the craft.

00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:30.000
Yes. I like crafts. Yes, that one, yes. I almost

00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:32.719
wore it to this show. Okay. Because I thought

00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:33.940
that would have been a good one. That would have

00:52:33.940 --> 00:52:36.280
been funny. It's just got beers and it says life

00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:37.860
is good. Unless this is that shirt, then maybe

00:52:37.860 --> 00:52:39.800
I don't know what this is. No, this isn't that

00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:41.500
shirt. Okay, then I don't know. I bought you

00:52:41.500 --> 00:52:44.460
a shirt. Okay. I found this shirt. I bought it

00:52:44.460 --> 00:52:48.039
for you because I laughed really hard seeing

00:52:48.039 --> 00:52:53.400
it. And I was like, well. i just pulled my mic

00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:55.599
down with the shirt yeah i was like why did i

00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:58.800
just get quieter anyway um i was like well chris

00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:00.739
needs this shirt and i feel like it's one that

00:53:00.739 --> 00:53:03.300
you're gonna actually wear because it's not you

00:53:03.300 --> 00:53:06.000
know i've bought a few shirts that i'm like i

00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:08.000
don't know if they're gonna wear that well it's

00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:11.340
i would love to wear the i'm here because you

00:53:11.340 --> 00:53:16.269
broke it I did buy you that shirt. That's not

00:53:16.269 --> 00:53:19.809
a very well -received shirt. It absolutely is.

00:53:20.429 --> 00:53:22.909
People take stuff personal. Well, I don't think

00:53:22.909 --> 00:53:24.610
that they should because you're really good at

00:53:24.610 --> 00:53:26.250
not making it personal. Sure, but the one that

00:53:26.250 --> 00:53:28.469
people do love is the Wi -Fi is down with the

00:53:28.469 --> 00:53:30.989
dinosaur screaming with his arms up. Oh, my gosh.

00:53:31.210 --> 00:53:34.909
I forgot about that shirt. That was hilarious.

00:53:35.369 --> 00:53:39.519
Yes. Asteroid coming down. The Wi -Fi is down.

00:53:39.539 --> 00:53:42.280
The Wi -Fi is down. It doesn't matter if the

00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:44.099
world's about to end. The Wi -Fi is down. The

00:53:44.099 --> 00:53:45.940
Wi -Fi is down, yes. Okay, so I got you this

00:53:45.940 --> 00:53:52.539
shirt. You ready? Yeah. Oh, beautiful. Floppy

00:53:52.539 --> 00:53:56.119
disk veteran. That is awesome. It's got a picture

00:53:56.119 --> 00:54:01.400
of a floppy disk kind of in the eagle. The shape

00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:03.059
of an eagle, yeah. Where'd you find that at?

00:54:04.110 --> 00:54:06.389
What's the name of that? I always get the shirts

00:54:06.389 --> 00:54:07.829
from the same place. It's probably where you

00:54:07.829 --> 00:54:10.949
got the wifi is down. I mean, probably to be

00:54:10.949 --> 00:54:14.590
honest with you. I sent like a bunch of these

00:54:14.590 --> 00:54:20.949
around after I found them all. I don't know.

00:54:20.969 --> 00:54:23.630
It's one of those funny t -shirt. Yeah, that's

00:54:23.630 --> 00:54:29.929
all sites. Thank you, man. Absolutely. You earned

00:54:29.929 --> 00:54:33.329
it. I'll have to wear it tomorrow. I mean, that'd

00:54:33.329 --> 00:54:35.739
be a, Simple way of saying it. I will tell you

00:54:35.739 --> 00:54:38.599
though, there's another really funny shirt site

00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:41.179
that you need to go to at some point. Okay. It's

00:54:41.179 --> 00:54:44.579
called tribe lacrosse .com. Okay. I haven't seen

00:54:44.579 --> 00:54:47.500
that one. I mean, I, there's no reason that that

00:54:47.500 --> 00:54:51.179
URL should be funny t -shirts. Okay. True. Yeah.

00:54:51.300 --> 00:54:54.260
And some of them are lacrosse. So I guess that's

00:54:54.260 --> 00:54:57.719
where they started. But it's, it seems like tribe

00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:00.960
is their symbol or whatever. And they're all,

00:55:00.980 --> 00:55:03.820
they all kind of look the same. But they say

00:55:03.820 --> 00:55:08.559
things like everything hurts and favorite son.

00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:11.880
I have the favorite son shirt. And allegedly.

00:55:12.860 --> 00:55:16.340
Allegedly, yes. It's past my bedtime. I'm getting

00:55:16.340 --> 00:55:19.099
it's past my bedtime for my wife. Yeah, that

00:55:19.099 --> 00:55:21.800
would be for Michelle. For sure. Seven o 'clock

00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:24.619
hits and she's ready for bed. I don't know. I

00:55:24.619 --> 00:55:30.659
like the kind of fit, sort of fat. Oh, I'm trying

00:55:30.659 --> 00:55:34.679
to. How do you explain the allegedly without

00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:39.539
this turning into a not family episode? I don't

00:55:39.539 --> 00:55:43.699
think this show is the term. If you've seen Letterkenny,

00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:45.539
you automatically know. Then you know, yeah.

00:55:45.659 --> 00:55:48.320
There is a thing to have to do with about an

00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:51.780
ostrich. Yeah. And it just goes with allegedly.

00:55:52.139 --> 00:55:55.179
You can fill in the blank from there. Yeah. I

00:55:55.179 --> 00:55:58.619
mean. Hopefully you can. There's one that says

00:55:58.619 --> 00:56:02.320
Wuhan Institute of Virology. I was like, ooh.

00:56:03.039 --> 00:56:06.280
Oh, that'd be a fun one. Don't let the webcam

00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:10.440
see you wearing that because the one that I'm

00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:12.059
going to get for myself, though, when I get my

00:56:12.059 --> 00:56:14.219
wife the one that says it's past my bedtime,

00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:16.599
I'm going to buy this one for myself. And it

00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:19.940
just says, I'm not for everyone. Oh, that's a

00:56:19.940 --> 00:56:21.820
good one. Just saying. And I'm going to get my

00:56:21.820 --> 00:56:23.940
parents the one that says I'm from the 1900s.

00:56:26.500 --> 00:56:28.119
These are great. There's a bunch of them that

00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:35.599
are really funny. It is weird to think that we

00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:38.940
were born in a whole other century. Yeah, we

00:56:38.940 --> 00:56:43.000
were. If you've ever looked for funny teas, I

00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:45.750
think... Like Snorg Tease is always the one that

00:56:45.750 --> 00:56:47.929
comes up for me first, but the one that I actually

00:56:47.929 --> 00:56:51.949
go to the most is called Busted Tease. Okay,

00:56:52.030 --> 00:56:53.289
yeah, I know that one. And I think that's where

00:56:53.289 --> 00:56:57.289
I got the one I gave to you. They've got a lot

00:56:57.289 --> 00:57:00.369
of... Star Wars ones that are really funny. I've

00:57:00.369 --> 00:57:03.250
almost bought you like five different Star Wars

00:57:03.250 --> 00:57:06.429
shirts. Yeah, the site that Michelle likes, and

00:57:06.429 --> 00:57:10.409
I like it too, is 80stees .com. Oh, wow, okay.

00:57:11.010 --> 00:57:16.130
80stees. It's actually 80, no, it is 80stees

00:57:16.130 --> 00:57:22.750
.com. Why is the carpet all wet, Todd? I have

00:57:22.750 --> 00:57:26.769
that. I don't know, Marco. I have the I don't

00:57:26.769 --> 00:57:28.150
know, Marco. They have that exactly. I don't

00:57:28.150 --> 00:57:30.650
know, Marco. And in fact, that's what I wore

00:57:30.650 --> 00:57:33.969
for our... Wooden spoon survivor. Holiday picture.

00:57:34.110 --> 00:57:36.550
They have that on the other one, too. I'm sure.

00:57:36.789 --> 00:57:39.050
I was like, oh my gosh, that's hilarious. Yeah,

00:57:39.050 --> 00:57:43.369
so obviously they have... Some of the wrestling

00:57:43.369 --> 00:57:52.130
tees that they have are unbelievable. Stop staring

00:57:52.130 --> 00:57:57.349
at my balls. It's Christmas ornaments. It is,

00:57:57.369 --> 00:58:00.349
yeah. You can't see it. They've got a Nakatomi

00:58:00.349 --> 00:58:02.869
Plaza one. Yes, they do. Nakatomi Christmas party.

00:58:03.230 --> 00:58:08.010
Yes. Yes. I do want to get the one sometime.

00:58:08.389 --> 00:58:10.369
Sometime in my life I want to get the one that

00:58:10.369 --> 00:58:14.409
says, now I have a machine gun. Ho, ho, ho. Yeah.

00:58:16.690 --> 00:58:21.280
Save the clock tower. I need to get that one

00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.440
for my cousin. Why does anybody think this is

00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:26.880
a good thing? You're scrolling the site and they

00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:29.199
give you a full page ad that you have to cancel

00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:31.579
out. No, I don't want to see that. Come on, guys.

00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:35.699
He man that says, do you even lift, bro? Hey,

00:58:35.739 --> 00:58:42.340
laser lips. Your mama was a snowblower. Wow.

00:58:43.699 --> 00:58:46.900
If you know, you know, folks. Yeah. Well, I found

00:58:46.900 --> 00:58:49.980
the wrestling. All the Macho Man. Yes. Randy

00:58:49.980 --> 00:58:53.719
Savage. Macho Man. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:58:54.199 --> 00:59:00.119
Oh, what is this one? Dungeons and Dragons. Oh,

00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:05.639
that's a classic scene. I want to tell him what

00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:09.380
a cheap line. No good run. four -flushing, low

00:59:09.380 --> 00:59:12.980
-life, snake -licking, dirt -eating, inbred,

00:59:13.139 --> 00:59:18.239
overstuffed, ignorant, blood -sucking, dog -kissing,

00:59:18.260 --> 00:59:23.239
brainless, blankless, hopeless, heartless, fat

00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:27.679
-blank, bug -eyed, stiff -leg, spotty -lip, worm

00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:30.840

00:59:31.300 --> 00:59:35.639
Yeah, my... Sister -in -law wants to memorize

00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:43.059
that whole monologue. Where's the title? Oh,

00:59:43.059 --> 00:59:50.219
it's a major award. It's a major award. Oh, Christmas

00:59:50.219 --> 00:59:53.119
story. Get in loser. We're going to die of dysentery.

00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:58.699
Yes. I showed you the one that I have. That's

00:59:58.699 --> 01:00:02.619
a get in loser. We're going to try to afford

01:00:02.619 --> 01:00:08.869
this river. Yes. Yeah. I mean, really great tease.

01:00:09.869 --> 01:00:12.610
Negative ghostwriter. The pattern is full. And

01:00:12.610 --> 01:00:15.329
the only thing technology about this whole episode

01:00:15.329 --> 01:00:18.969
is that, yes, you have to go to the internet

01:00:18.969 --> 01:00:22.130
to find these t -shirts. You do. You do. Just

01:00:22.130 --> 01:00:26.449
saying. Just hits everything. We talk about everything,

01:00:26.570 --> 01:00:28.849
folks. Oh, I love that one. It's from Top Gun.

01:00:28.989 --> 01:00:31.809
Because I was inverted. Because I was inverted.

01:00:31.989 --> 01:00:39.710
And he brings down his arms. Yes. Oh, I forgot

01:00:39.710 --> 01:00:43.130
about that one, too. Also from Christmas Vacation.

01:00:43.449 --> 01:00:47.980
When Snanna would Snanna. When Santa squeezes

01:00:47.980 --> 01:00:51.239
his fat white blank down that chimney tonight,

01:00:51.420 --> 01:00:55.320
he's going to find the jolliest bunch of blank

01:00:55.320 --> 01:01:01.440
holes this side of the nuthouse. Oh, what a classic

01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:09.059
movie. Oh, man. Oh, no. Nobody's leaving. You

01:01:09.059 --> 01:01:14.360
can't leave. No. All I want to find for Christmas.

01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:18.320
is the droids i'm looking for hap hap happiest

01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:23.760
that's what it was i was like he he like he he

01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:27.860
stays on a word for him yeah i was trying to

01:01:27.860 --> 01:01:32.059
make it oh but that's not it also from christmas

01:01:32.059 --> 01:01:36.800
vacation that there is an rv yeah right shiny

01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:42.630
oh that reminds me uh snowmageddon Oh, wow. We,

01:01:42.750 --> 01:01:47.469
Michelle doing what ladies do, matching PJs.

01:01:47.909 --> 01:01:51.650
So I get the idea of we're stuck. We can't go

01:01:51.650 --> 01:01:55.510
anywhere. Let's recreate the scene from Christmas

01:01:55.510 --> 01:01:57.610
Vacation with the RV. And he's pumping stuff

01:01:57.610 --> 01:02:01.110
into the sewer. And so we grab the hose off of

01:02:01.110 --> 01:02:04.210
my shop vac and we're outside. And of course,

01:02:04.250 --> 01:02:06.769
Tori goes, and she's got it. And Michelle starts

01:02:06.769 --> 01:02:11.070
recording. She goes, the crapper's full. It's

01:02:11.070 --> 01:02:16.670
like, yes. Oh, my gosh. Oh, it was a good parenting

01:02:16.670 --> 01:02:20.969
moment. That's amazing. I mean, yeah, absolutely.

01:02:21.949 --> 01:02:23.849
We have a funny story about that, but I'm not

01:02:23.849 --> 01:02:25.750
going to embarrass my sister -in -law with it.

01:02:26.909 --> 01:02:33.389
Just going to say. So I just ran across one on

01:02:33.389 --> 01:02:37.900
the 80s tease. It's 007. Three, seven, three,

01:02:37.900 --> 01:02:41.159
five, nine, six, three. Mike Tyson's punch out.

01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:44.320
Jump straight to Mike Tyson. I was like, not

01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:47.059
a lot of people know this. I know that one. That

01:02:47.059 --> 01:02:49.440
is forever etched in my brain along with up,

01:02:49.500 --> 01:02:51.320
up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B,

01:02:51.460 --> 01:02:54.159
A, B, A. And then the next determines if you

01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:56.820
played by yourself or as friends. Yeah. I would

01:02:56.820 --> 01:02:59.860
say select start. Yeah. For two player. Yeah.

01:02:59.940 --> 01:03:02.119
But I know lots of people who only played by

01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:05.710
themselves and it's just start. No, you got to

01:03:05.710 --> 01:03:08.570
do select start. It's always select start. Yeah.

01:03:08.590 --> 01:03:10.250
Why were you playing video games by yourself?

01:03:11.369 --> 01:03:16.210
Maybe they were highly introverted losers. Oh

01:03:16.210 --> 01:03:19.570
man. Ooh. Dynamite or kid dynamite. That's what

01:03:19.570 --> 01:03:24.230
the kid dynamite. Yes. Um, um, little Mac, little

01:03:24.230 --> 01:03:33.329
Mac. Dad gum. Oh, that's throwback. Man. Well,

01:03:37.030 --> 01:03:40.670
Save the neck for me. Save the neck for me, Clark.

01:03:41.150 --> 01:03:48.170
Yeah. Oh, such fun stuff. Fun stuff. All right.

01:03:49.170 --> 01:03:54.309
Well. That one's not safe for the show. Yeah,

01:03:54.309 --> 01:03:59.989
no, don't. Whoopsies. Kiss my, kiss his. Womp

01:03:59.989 --> 01:04:03.869
womp. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry

01:04:03.869 --> 01:04:07.929
Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

01:04:08.449 --> 01:04:12.489
What is this one? Oh, it's also Christmas Vacation,

01:04:12.489 --> 01:04:17.789
of course. Can I refill your eggnog? Drive you

01:04:17.789 --> 01:04:19.829
out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for

01:04:19.829 --> 01:04:23.570
dead? And leave you for dead. Oh, that movie

01:04:23.570 --> 01:04:26.469
is such a classic. We want you to get something

01:04:26.469 --> 01:04:31.619
for yourself. Something. Real nice. Yes. Yes.

01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:37.039
Oh, boy. That's a good movie. We're going to

01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:39.159
have to watch that pretty soon. Yes. We haven't

01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:42.179
shown the kids that one yet. Yeah. That one and

01:04:42.179 --> 01:04:46.300
Die Hard. I can understand. You know Die Hard

01:04:46.300 --> 01:04:49.400
is Laurie's like. Is it her go -to Christmas

01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:52.400
movie? No. It's her. White Christmas is probably

01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:57.219
her go -to because it's, you know. Yeah. Anyway.

01:04:57.929 --> 01:04:59.809
It's got the sister song in it, and she's a twin,

01:04:59.949 --> 01:05:02.929
so every other movie doesn't stand a chance.

01:05:03.010 --> 01:05:09.730
But it's her gift wrapping movie. While she's

01:05:09.730 --> 01:05:12.929
gift wrapping, she watches Die Hard. I think

01:05:12.929 --> 01:05:15.750
it's probably because the kids can never be around.

01:05:15.909 --> 01:05:18.710
Sure. Sure, not while that movie's going. And

01:05:18.710 --> 01:05:21.150
the kids can never be around while Die Hard is

01:05:21.150 --> 01:05:25.289
playing. But she, I mean, she dies laughing every

01:05:25.289 --> 01:05:29.010
time. And I can't say a thing on this show about

01:05:29.010 --> 01:05:33.809
it. But it is hilarious. I can respect that choice

01:05:33.809 --> 01:05:38.269
for gift wrapping. Her favorite lines in that

01:05:38.269 --> 01:05:42.110
movie are not the ones you expect from my very

01:05:42.110 --> 01:05:46.340
Christian wife. Yes. Loves Jesus. Cusses a little.

01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:51.400
It happens every now and then to all of us. Yippee

01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:55.219
-ki -yay. Yep. Oh, the buckets? My friends. Have

01:05:55.219 --> 01:05:58.400
you ever seen Brooklyn Nine -Nine? Just bits

01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:00.980
and pieces. Okay, so there's the main character,

01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:03.500
Jake Peralta. I say he's the main character.

01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:06.579
He's the main character, right? Anyway, he really

01:06:06.579 --> 01:06:10.760
likes Die Hard and so makes Die Hard references

01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:13.820
all the time. or in different times and stuff

01:06:13.820 --> 01:06:16.739
like that. And they, they actually do an episode

01:06:16.739 --> 01:06:21.099
where, um, they're in a department store when,

01:06:21.179 --> 01:06:26.300
um, it's, you know, getting, it's at Christmas

01:06:26.300 --> 01:06:28.239
and like, I don't know, they're, they're getting

01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.739
robbed or something. I don't know what's going

01:06:30.739 --> 01:06:32.559
on. Anyway, I didn't pay that close attention,

01:06:32.739 --> 01:06:35.440
but he makes some reference to it being diehard

01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:40.539
and, uh, his friend who's, um, kind of clueless

01:06:40.539 --> 01:06:44.809
most of the time. Like comes down out of the

01:06:44.809 --> 01:06:48.170
vent at one point. Yippee -ki -yack, other buckets.

01:06:48.710 --> 01:06:51.369
Yippee -ki -yack. And he's like, that's not.

01:06:51.449 --> 01:06:53.769
He's like, yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. Oh, my

01:06:53.769 --> 01:07:01.150
gosh. Close enough. He is pretty funny. Nice.

01:07:01.329 --> 01:07:06.449
Yep. All right. Well, this beer was not as good

01:07:06.449 --> 01:07:09.070
as I was hoping for, but we made it through.

01:07:09.269 --> 01:07:12.460
It's better than the last show. Well, it's better

01:07:12.460 --> 01:07:16.940
than the pumpkin spice last show. Well, that

01:07:16.940 --> 01:07:19.719
was the last two beers of that show. Yeah, that

01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:23.480
was rough. I have encouraged people to download

01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:27.719
that and skip to course number three. Because

01:07:27.719 --> 01:07:33.320
that is the chapter title of the first of two

01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:37.940
really bad beers. That's hilarious. Yes. Just

01:07:37.940 --> 01:07:40.610
go to that. Jump ahead. And I've had to tell

01:07:40.610 --> 01:07:44.570
them, say, hey, hey, hey, you can't use that

01:07:44.570 --> 01:07:48.170
legacy app on your phone. Nope. Go to newpodcastapps

01:07:48.170 --> 01:07:53.030
.com. Have to. Not nude. Not nude. New. New.

01:07:53.369 --> 01:07:57.010
N -E -W. If we're telling you to do it, it's

01:07:57.010 --> 01:07:59.969
never nude. No, no, no, no, no, no. This is a

01:07:59.969 --> 01:08:02.250
family friendly show. You can quote me. Yes.

01:08:02.650 --> 01:08:07.250
Go get a real podcast app. Enjoy those chapters,

01:08:07.369 --> 01:08:11.780
folks. Oh, man. There's a rad t -shirt on here.

01:08:12.300 --> 01:08:14.679
Uh -oh. All right. Well, we'll see you later.

01:08:15.059 --> 01:08:19.699
See you. Hope you're doing good. See you. See

01:08:19.699 --> 01:08:43.710
you. Why aren't all podcasts this great?
