Welcome to botches off -road. Guys, we let you
down. Mark got a new computer and for whatever
reason his new computer didn't like his headphones.
Not his mic, his headphones. Just the headphones.
So it would make the mic all distorted whenever
the headphones were plugged in. No idea why,
but we didn't catch it until it was too late
and it really screwed you out of two weeks of
content. Yeah. So, yeah, when you get a new computer,
test everything before trying to record. Test
literally everything possible. Because we did
test the mic and everything, just not with headphones
plugged in. Yeah, not with headphones plugged
in. Because why should headphones cause a problem?
Yeah. Unless it's a USB plug -in mic that has
a headphone jack apparently. fucks it over yeah
but it screws it up even when you plug it into
the normal headphone jack oh i guess i didn't
pay attention to that part yeah it was always
fucking it up every time those headphones got
plugged in yeah that was weird now i'm curious
though was it because maybe the one um earpiece
was bad i mean maybe but like why should that
do that i know i know I'm just trying to think
of what would cause it. Please, send donations
to this episode. We could really use some value
for value. And if you're someone who has the
ability to donate a pair of headphones, we are
broke motherfuckers, and Mark's headphones suck.
Yeah. Apparently - Mark, is that a beer behind
you? Where? Other way. Other way. Oh, yeah, it's
um One of my brother back bought back home. I'm
gonna take my mic off here because I can't reach
that far. Oh Everyone's gonna listen to that.
I think it's when he brought back from Japan.
No Ireland Justin ah Yeah, that's a Copa Berg
co -pair Berg, yeah strawberry lime 4 % alcohol.
That sounds... That sounds terrible, I'm not
gonna lie. Yeah. Well... Was it a strawberry
lime beer, or was it like a cider? Uh... It says
apple cider with a taste of strawberry lime.
Okay, I could see that being pretty good. Yeah.
Yeah, so... As you can see, it is just me. I'm
Alex and Mark. That's the other voice you hear.
Gavin is busy today watching a kid. We're not
recording on our normal recording day. At least
not this half hour. We're going to record an
hour tomorrow with Gavin, but I couldn't record
an hour tomorrow and put out a half hour today
or tomorrow. So we had to record a half hour
somewhere. These normally would be we normally
consider these wraps but like all we did last
weekend was sleep and play cards yeah we had
like probably a week later a weekend off than
we usually have been we had like two weekends
off yeah but did you come camping as a weekend
off no not really was that only two weekends
ago yeah as of right now yeah God that feels
so much farther away. I Mean we did have like
long week last week. So I Have had a long week
so far this week. So it ain't getting better.
No, I know I Still haven't taken my time off
my roof You're pretty bad procrastinating doing
taking that off the roof I Get home and I just
want to go to sleep and then I like force myself
to stay awake and play some games and Then I
go do night checks and then I go to sleep. It's
just that's my day right now. Hmm So I have been
I Think this has been talked about in a previous
episode I broke my cooler slide Yeah, I don't
know Well, Mark broke my cooler slide. No, I'm
pretty sure it fell apart because you'd take
it apart to begin with. No, so I've been watching
it for a while. There is like these plastic and
little ball bearing things that go on top and
bottom of that slide. It's pretty much a drawer
slide. Yeah, well, those those little plastic
ball bearing things have been coming out for.
six months, and I think that you just finally
got to the point where the last of them came
out. I kind of feel like it was like broke on
the trail heading to camp. I used it all weekend
without an issue. I know. No, no, no. I think
it was the final. OK, whatever. Anyways. But.
So I've ordered some new, uh, just the slider
pieces for it. Um, I plan on rebuilding that.
I want to move my cooler down five inches so
my wife can actually reach into it. Um, I'm going
to do that by moving my pack out mount slash
table to the driver's side a little bit and go
into a narrower table. Yeah. Um, I found one
that's 17 .5 inches wide. So like it would suck
as a stand -up table, but it would work great
for pullout. Yeah See I'm gonna be doing that
probably this weekend, honestly By the way mark
I hate the mic or the camera location on your
new computer I know I understand now that's a
camera angle that anyone wanted The camera is
at the bottom of the screen. So like right now
I'm staring at his keyboard and his touchpad.
Yeah, I Mean I said if I laugh you want my junk
I See his dirty little fingernails every time
he touches the computer. Yeah. Um Yeah, I don't
know what else we want to talk about We could
We'll let you listeners in on a little bit. We're
working on the black truck, which we've been
saying we're gonna do for about four months now
Yeah, I expect you to hold us to it and we're
gonna work on it this weekend Yeah, we kind of
ended up trying to get put together for Friendsgiving.
So that got put off because of that and Then
we just had one hell of a winter so far this
year. Yeah. Well, this weekend, we're working
on the **** black truck and the listeners just
have to hold us to it. You got anything you plan
on doing in the next few months? Gonna reorganize
my bed cuz like you said, As of right now, you
don't actually have a spare tire anymore the
spare tire that you were using you don't have
that set on so it might as well get out of the
bed and then I'm really thinking of doing that.
Um, I Don't remember what it's technically called,
but you know how the spare carrier I sent you
the spare tire shelf. Yeah, pretty much a shelf
I was trying to think what technically would
be called Yeah, it's just some tubes Mounted
to his bed rails and then a spare tire sits on
top of it. Yeah, it's really sick. Yes I've been
it's a good idea. Yeah, I've been going over
in my head how to do the bed getting rid of that
one tire So we don't need two tires anymore And
I'm like trying to think of how to get more storage
out of it So yeah, I've got I've got a tire swing
I just picked up. I think it's a little too small
for my truck. Hmm, so I don't think it'll work
but I Did buy one Yeah, so we'll see what happens
with that But I do need to come up with something
cuz I need to start carrying my own spare tire.
Yeah It's not fair to make you do all the hard
work. No, I Mean it looks cool, but It's just
so impractical. We've barely had to use that
other spare tire, so. But what happens when we
do have to use it? Yeah. You don't use a spare
tire until you need it. True. I'm looking to
see if anyone even makes a spare tire carrier
that I can just buy and weld on. Hoping these
headphones last for this. Hear it chime me like
it's trying to die on me. Oh My we need to just
buy you some damn headphones Yeah, these aren't
the ones I was looking for the ones I thought
I had I apparently got rid of and forgot about
so I got my brother's old pair Freaking razors
or something like that. I Mean they're better
than nothing. Yeah, I Just keep hearing charming
like it's trying to die on me. So hopefully I
don't have issues coming up here Okay, so I found
an ARB spare tire carrier for a grand. Oh god
Yeah, that's a little more than I want to spend.
Yeah Here's one for a Jeep from Warren for 746
Still like at least $400 more than I want to
spend. Mm -hmm Okay, what's on marketplace marketplace
is generally the savior yeah see what else happened
uh really i haven't done anything off road but
i did put a i9 in my computer and that's pretty
exciting and i cleaned my office again so like
It doesn't look like a despicable place to be
anymore. Yep, I'll say. I mean, this angle, that
desk looks really, really clean right now. Well,
I cleaned it off, and then everyone wanted to
build computers on my desk. But yeah, look, Mark,
look. Boom. Yeah. Nice. And there's the two computers
that made my desk a mess twice. Mm -hmm. See
them down there, down underneath? Did you ever
get a friend's computer figured out? Yeah, no
we have to wait three to four weeks for the company
to send him new RAM. Oh, I forgot about that
conversation with him Yeah, cuz they He bought
brand new DDR5 used them for a week and then
they died So they had to be are made out and
he's got new ones on the way Got you Yeah, pretty
shitty Man, it'd be cool if I could just find
like a surf spare tire carrier and mount it to
the body. That would be cool. Wouldn't we have
to like reinforce a back panel or something like
that? Probably, but like my truck's a fucking
rust bucket anyway, what's it matter? We'll just
weld some reinforcement plates on the outside
and call it a fucking day. True. Those are good.
Okay, I found I Found a spare tire carrier for
$300 in Grand Rapids. Oh God, it's a Smittybilt
It The price is good. Yeah It's I'm gonna send
it to you it's really ugly which way you're sending
it All right element of course See what other
stuff has happened Oh, I had to rescue marks
password off our server It took me four days
to do it because when I set this up I told these
guys Don't forget your password. I can't recover
them. It's really hard, right? What do you think
with knowledge like that? You'd remember your
password. I did remember it Then why couldn't
you log in? I don't know I typed in silver taco
14 like you said, but it didn't work or some
odd reason The password was silver taco 14 with
a capital S capital T Why was there a capital
T? I don't know now Now that you've given your
password away on the internet for everyone to
hear. Oh, that's not even the password anymore,
anyways. No, it's not the password for that.
It's also your Instagram handle, so what's the
matter? Yeah. But yeah, no, that's all saved
and fixed. That literally three days of fighting
with a database to get it to let me correct that
password, dude. Three fucking days. Then I had
to get a hold of Josh of all people Be like bro.
What the hell did we do with this database? Because
neither of us could remember what we did. It's
also made me realize that our chat communication
server is Like three years out of date Yeah You
tell me to like computer every day It's still
on It's so far out of date that we can't even
update it back to current So like I might rebuild
it I don't know if I do it'll be a lot better
and I'll make sure I can get everybody's passwords
for him Since passwords are hard apparently Mark
I found your problem. It's an RSI smart cap adventure
series. It's only $2 ,500 A solution to all your
problems. It's a really cool topper. Oh, it's
probably not for your truck, though. I didn't
look. Probably not. Six foot bed. Yeah, not for
me. For your brother, though. He would never
spend $2 ,500 on that. Well, that's how much
they want for it. I don't even see a price yet.
Where do you see a price at? The one I just sent
you it's a 2 ,500 bucks. Where at? I don't see
your price anywhere. Oh, never mind. I found
it. The page was not scrolling up where I wanted
to. I was scrolling the description. Well, I
hate to cut you listeners short, but like we
didn't got no updates for you. We got no content
to give you. So we'll cut it here at 60 minutes
and... Hope that is good enough. Hope you guys
get some enjoyment out of that. So we'll catch
you guys later later
