SPEAKER_04

Hey everybody, welcome back to Set and Center. I'm RJ. I'm Mark. Always Mark. Uh so we have a very special guest in the studio today. Who? That was not good. Like, yeah, yes, we do. Jesus Christ. Okay. My mother's here and she uh she she wanted to see what we do here and how we record this and all that stuff, so she's joining us here. Um, you son of a all right. Uh what's different?

SPEAKER_02

We're both still sitting on our asses. She's already seen that. Yeah, but not with microphones and microphones and headphones. Yes. Uh it's better than chains and whips. It's not actually, I can vouch for that. But um hold on, I'm tied up at the moment.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna strap you down. Duct tape. I'm gonna use gaffer tape. And yeah, if uh we we can talk about my thing with duct tape another time. Okay, it's another time. Let's hear it. So this is a great introduction. Um, so yes, my my my mom is here on the ranch with us.

SPEAKER_02

So well, yeah, we had to get somebody in here good because you know Rob wasn't that good last time we talked to him. He was too energetic.

SPEAKER_04

But we yeah, he has more energy than both of us because we don't that's why he's thin. Can you zip it for a second here, bud? All right, so can I kill myself with this pen? Um, so anyway, my mom is here, she's visiting from Arizona here, so she's here on the ranch. Um uh for a bit, a couple weeks, a few weeks. We'll see how it goes. Um, and it's been super fun having her out here, uh, doing all kinds of fun shit. Unfortunately, she had to meet Mark and get to know him. Uh so yeah, uh you can you can start talking at any time now, Mark.

SPEAKER_02

No, I'm pissed off. Well, I was gonna she met me in May. She met me when I took you to the airport. So you make it sound like the first time like she should be I should be thrilled. It's like, yep, that's her. Don't have to be pedantic.

SPEAKER_04

Look, it's hold let me look shut up. It's and when you say in May when I took you to the airport, it makes it sound like those things were close together. Everything about like a little context, a little background for people. Okay, never mind. So in May this year, yes, briefly. Um, but the first time you ever met was upwards of 20 years ago. Okay, yeah, it was when you took me to the airport. So I'll dispute on that. I'm Mark. Yes, yes, you are. Um, yeah, so we're really excited about that. Uh at some point while she's here, maybe you know, maybe she'll want to actually jump into the conversation on the pod. We'll see. But on the pot? Uh no, you sound you know what I said. Um on the pot. No, we're not going back to that. I think last time. Oh, you wanted me to move the whole fucking studio into the bathroom so you can do whatever you're taking a shit, and we're not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_02

I could watch my ticky talkies.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, well, speaking of that, yeah, because I mentioned I think last time we were gonna talk about TikTok. Are you gonna because well let me segue into that? Almost every episode something comes up, you're like, Oh, I'll post a picture on our socials. I'll post a picture on our socials. I'm doing a quick tally of all the pictures you've posted on our socials. Carry the three. Uh is that none? Would that be none? That would be none. Okay. They're invisible pictures. Well, uh, okay. But I just want to call you out on that. Thank you. A picture here, a picture there. It wouldn't like hurt, right? No, I want to hurt. Okay. No, but the TikTok thing. Uh, again, did I give you the password for that and all that shit?

SPEAKER_02

Do you have pictures posted? Of Did I give you the password? Did uh do I have pictures posted?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know. Here's why you you know that I wouldn't know it by that because we talked about why I need to give you the password. Because you watch your YouTubes and your Reels's and your Tic Tacs, and I I've never used TikTok and I only installed it just recently to set up socials for the pod. I just set up socials on all the different things, and I cannot with that app.

SPEAKER_02

I know because it starts playing as soon as you open it up.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Why do you say that? Like it's not a big deal, it's horrible. Anyway, so I open it like maybe eight to ten times just to adjust the setting, whatever. And I I told you, I'm like, I cannot with this thing. I can't. Almost in tears, probably. I can't. I'm like, you want to do TikTok? Like, yeah, we should do it. You're doing it, buddy. So I need to get you the password. I I do though, like legit.

SPEAKER_02

I just wrote it down. So I can't? Or no, I need passwords. So I can't write it? You can write it down too. God knows you can't read my writing. I should have been a doctor. Yeah, that'd be fun for everybody. Instead of an asshole.

SPEAKER_04

Speaking of speaking of the passwords, did you let's back up to something much more simple. Did you ever figure out how to log into your Gmail? Feels like a nose coming up.

SPEAKER_02

No, I gotta so since it's I got a new the new phone and stuff, and that and it's just signed in, but now I need the password to get into stuff, so I've gotta fill out their stuff, and then they'll send an email to Christina's email, and then she's gotta give me the password, and then I gotta wait seven or the the code, and I gotta wait five days.

SPEAKER_04

Everything you said after the word no, I already knew. I know what that was. Yeah, but your mom your mom didn't. I win.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, no.

SPEAKER_04

Hold on. I was asking you a question, okay, and you were supposed to answer to me. You thought you just hoped that maybe I might in my ADD I might get lost in your explanation. Like, oh well, there's really a lot involved here. I didn't realize. But maybe, you know, because uh oh, for the the analytics and stuff, right? That's why you need to do it. And also, more importantly, like I told you, if for some reason your phone gets logged out, you're screwed.

SPEAKER_02

God, that'd be wonderful. Oh, we're still talking, we're not talking about it.

Remote Recording Prep Fails

SPEAKER_04

You're screwed in the sense that you wouldn't be let me put it in a way that may hit home for you. You can't do the YouTubes no more. This is true. So just think about it. Alright. Okay. Alright, we'll do that. Um, and also, uh, speaking of other things, we had talked about because you'll be traveling here in a bit. Um yeah, we talked about uh how are we gonna do this sort of remotely, right? Uh and by that uh I mean you asked me how did somebody do this remotely? And I explained to you the multiple different options and how you do it. And I didn't understand it. Right. And so then I made you a goodie bag of audio equipment. I just brought it back. Yes, you did. Yeah. Um but that's I mean, that's part of where I was going. But I was like, it, you know, this is a week ago. I said, there take this is all you need. I've been a little mixy, whatever. So just put in your laptop, and then what happened over there? What'd you do? I hit the desk with my elbow when I was getting a drink.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Um, and I was like, well, just while you're still here, you know, hook up your laptop, blah-blah-blah, and then we can do like a test remote or whatever for while you're just still here. So we can get it all figured out. That was at least a week ago. Now, tonight you needed some of that extra stuff since since we have a guest since you do, my lovely mother. Uh and I said, Hey, have you uh have you messed with that or even opened the bag? Nope. Nope. Alright, why don't you bring it with you then, bud? I did. I don't think he's gonna get it back.

SPEAKER_05

Oh god.

SPEAKER_04

You know what? I'll say this for you though. You did get me some nice big wood today. I did. And that I don't think he can handle all that wood. I mean, it is a decent load, but I'm it's not my first fucking rodeo.

SPEAKER_02

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you're one of those where you gotta strap a two by four to your ass so you don't fall in.

SPEAKER_04

Into what?

SPEAKER_02

Rob is right. This generational difference between you and I it's wonderful. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

What?

SPEAKER_02

Well, you remember, you know, them easy people that you tie a two by four to your ass so you don't fall in the hole.

SPEAKER_04

Easy people.

SPEAKER_02

I understand what the word horse.

SPEAKER_04

I know I was just gonna say, I understand what the word easy means in this context. Fall into Oh Yeah, I get it now.

SPEAKER_02

I'm I'm here for all right. That was uh I hope everybody can hear Ryan's mom in the background just laughing, going, oh my god.

SPEAKER_05

I really hope so too.

SPEAKER_02

She was so excited for this.

SPEAKER_04

Now she's going off like what like I gotta get out of here. I hope so too, because I I can just hear a little bit, and I'm not sure it's through the through the phones or through the mic, but yeah. Uh it was just before we came in here, we were looking at notes from the last episode. I'm like, how do we get onto the bunny ranch in 40 seconds? Oh, yeah. Mark was here. Mark was here.

SPEAKER_02

You know, if it helps, I didn't only bring you big wood, I also uh didn't unload the truck, so there's some pipe in the back for you, too.

SPEAKER_04

What kind of pipe are we talking about?

SPEAKER_02

Uh PVC. How much did you get? I got uh 120 feet, so 12, 12, 10 foot sticks.

SPEAKER_04

How much how did you decide how much to get? I went in there and just grabbed until I was tired of grabbing. I almost actually believed that. I would. But but for real. Because the other day you were like, I'm not sure, I gotta figure out how much I need, right?

SPEAKER_02

Because at one time Christine and I measured from the power pole to where we're gonna put the excuse me, uh, put the power, and then it was another 20 feet to where the water goes in the fifth wheel. So I got 120 feet.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

So the other day you said I gotta figure out how much I need. That's line. Oh yeah. Oh, geez. Uh so you got 120 feet and you got all the fittings. All the fittings, all the couplers. You figured out how many you needed, and then got it.

SPEAKER_02

I just grabbed until I got tired. Is that how you met Christina? No, she didn't get tired of me until after three years. She's like, I've heard all these jokes before. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Um did you did you so props on getting the materials? Oh wait, you got that? You got the pipe, did you get a four by four? Yeah, I got a four by four in concrete. Yeah, I only needed one. I didn't I didn't ask for an explanation, I just asked about just one. Uh uh eight foot? No. Oh, now you're doing that thing. Okay. Well you I know, I know. All right, I take it back. Uh did you how long is it? Not the four by four. How long is the four by four that you got from Lowe's today?

SPEAKER_02

It's six foot.

SPEAKER_04

Six foot?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Does it give you like hold on? That's the only three feet for each thing. And you need to put like, I don't know, at least a foot in the ground, right? For each one thing. One for the electric, one for the water.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'll figure it out.

unknown

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, my child. That was so that so that was your answer to the realization that you didn't get enough just now?

SPEAKER_02

Well, no, because you know, I didn't read how long it was, and then when it rung up, it was six foot. So I effed up.

SPEAKER_04

You were in the Navy. You worked for the railroad. You couldn't tell that it wasn't a six-foot fucking four by four.

SPEAKER_02

No. Did either one of those include lumber? Did what? Either one of those jobs include lumber.

Wood, Pipe, And DIY Planning

SPEAKER_04

No, but dimensions and stuff, probably. That's a possibility. Yeah. Let me just ask you a question.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Is it possible that you needed an eight foot, which would be the logical size to get, and you knew that, but you're like, mmm, that's two extra feet I'd have to pick up.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it was really heavy.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, so yes.

SPEAKER_02

Well, kind of my theory is that because I'll have to bury it about two feet in the ground, but I'm not a hundred percent sure where the water's gonna come out, so I can just run into town and get another one.

SPEAKER_04

Another what?

SPEAKER_02

Another four by four.

SPEAKER_04

You're really good at trying to get me off the path of my original questionslash dig at you. Um I under I I appreciate the fact that you could go get another four by four. Yeah. I think that's one of those things that's kind of always true. But you went to get and four by this four by four. Uh huh. You could have just got the you need eight feet, you know, you need eight feet.

SPEAKER_02

Why because I forgot how far you need to de-bury the sucker with the concrete.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, that's I was gonna say, well, you did it with your mailbox post, but no, I brought it up.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, Rob did. Rob did. Thank god he did something when he was here.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, well, he did he did a bang up job on that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it looks really nice. Yeah, except for if you push hard enough, he can swing it around 360 degrees. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04

It's a it's not it's it's it's boingy.

SPEAKER_02

It's boingy, it boines a little bit. It doesn't I can't fucking spin it around. You're gonna hear the mail lady's truck when a mailbox hits it every time. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.

SPEAKER_04

It is a little boingy. It is, but that's sort of I mean, I gotta be honest, I don't know if that's his fault because it was a he had to extend pretty far from where you had the pose. Or very far, yeah. Yeah, so it's just gonna be boingy. Yep. Did you fucking did you break that solar light that I graciously gifted to you guys? No. How come it's never lit up anymore?

SPEAKER_02

Not enough weed.

SPEAKER_04

How come the uh solar light that I put on your mailbox doesn't illuminate anymore?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, it fell down one day, I put it back up and it hasn't worked since.

SPEAKER_04

So I need to go out there and look at it. It has a switch. Did it fall apart in two pieces? Yes. Okay, so what here's what you did. Okay, when you picked up, put it back together, you you hit the switch, accidentally turn it off, so you need to turn it on again.

SPEAKER_02

So, in my defense, it's not my job to check the mail. That's Christina's job, and she's not here.

SPEAKER_04

That's literally no defense at all because you it was not broken before you broke it. She shouldn't be responsible for checking if it works, if you're just gonna go out and randomly break it.

SPEAKER_02

She is married to me, she's responsible for anything I do. Oh god.

SPEAKER_04

Only she was almost like. And now we know why she's up in Portland or in Salem, Oregon. Now we're understanding why she's got what three, four thousand miles right now?

SPEAKER_02

Uh seventeen hundred and twenty-two.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I don't think she's responsible for everything you do. She may have to answer for it from time to time. This is true, but uh it's pretty good just being like pointing the finger. Yeah, but you just give her so much to work with.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and the only problem is she doesn't point, she just uses the middle finger. For what? She doesn't point at me, she flips me off.

unknown

Jeez.

SPEAKER_04

How come when I make a clever, dirty little joke and you don't get it? You know what I'm saying? She uses the middle finger for what?

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so now we're talking about me being married and not getting any. Welcome to marriage. That's not what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_04

Uh is it because she's in Washington that you feel comfortable raising your sex life on the pod right now?

SPEAKER_02

I think I have before, but you just don't catch it. Really? Yeah. Is it the mothballs thing? No, it was the John, it was the John Holmes thing.

SPEAKER_04

No, but it wasn't. Bullshit. Wait, unless she oh has oh no, because you make it yeah, I mean you make it very clear that you you know you're hung like a goldfish, so it can't be around.

SPEAKER_02

No, I'm hung like a ken doll. I'm flat up front. Even when it's warm. You ever seen Shallow Howl? I got a tail. Oh, that was so gross.

SPEAKER_04

Yep. I don't feel like they had to show it, right? I didn't think so either. That's part of my like right?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I could have imagined it. But you know, they do say for every nine pounds you're overweight, you lose a quarter inch of it. So I've got like a two-footer somewhere. Jesus fucking Christ. It's not mine, I'll spit it out.

SPEAKER_05

Oh fuck Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_04

Uh what's the math on that again? Uh quarter inch, nine pounds. Okay. For every nine pounds overweight, you lose a quarter inch. That's what they say. Jesus, I'm pretty hung too, if you do the math.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

Mailbox, Solar Light, And Household Blame

SPEAKER_04

Fuck. I'll be like lucky. No. Okay. We don't have a lot of rules on this pod. We I I'm gonna say I feel like we pretty well covered Lucky's dick in that episode. That sounds good. And maybe we just make it a thing where we don't ever talk about Lucky's dick. Let's not makes me feel bad. It's it's been decided. Yes. Um, so I I mentioned uh that we had a big update from our from our good buddy Brian. Oh yeah. And the update was he picked a gym, right? Okay. And you're like, which one? I said, hold your horses. Because he wasn't available. And you know what? He is tonight. Is he? Yeah. Do you want to see how it all sort of uh turned out?

SPEAKER_02

Well, we'll just call him because I can't see him. He's too far away.

SPEAKER_04

Alright, uh well, fuck you. Let me get see if I get a few.

SPEAKER_02

I'd fall asleep you could fall in love.

SPEAKER_04

Doubtful. Doubtful. I'd definitely fall asleep. Well, that's yeah. Which is typically how I like them, but you're not my type, so uh okay. We're gonna try to try to figure out the phone again. Okay. Which uh I'm gonna give myself a lot of props. I did really great with both times one two of the one of the times we did it. Yeah. Alright, here we go. It's uh on me. What do I have to do again? Oh yeah, that thing. I I don't know, just see if it fucking works. Alright. Here we go. We're calling Brian.

unknown

Dead air.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think it counts as not dead air if the only thing you're saying is dead air. Well, it's still an interruption from dead air. Oh, yeah, there he is. Hello? Hey buddy.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, how's it going?

SPEAKER_04

It's going fantastic. How are you doing? You're once again back on the pod with Mark and a special guest in studio who doesn't have a mic, but she is she's here, my mother.

SPEAKER_00

Oh hey.

SPEAKER_04

She's waving hi. Mark, I guess, doesn't care to say hi to you. Oh, hi, Brian.

SPEAKER_01

That's the idea.

SPEAKER_04

I know, I know. Uh so literally everybody, and I'm talking the four to six listeners we have, are have been on the edge of the their seats ever since a couple episodes when I broke the news that you excuse me, you picked a gym. I did. And we have not been able to coordinate our schedules until just now. And I I I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna leave it there. What what happened? How did we get here? What'd you pick? Walk us through it, bud.

SPEAKER_01

Alright, well, finally decided to go with LA Fitness just because of uh cost and general to me is also the fact that not uh everybody at the gym is like seven years old.

SPEAKER_04

Oh well that hurt Yeah, I think just you can kind of hurt two pro people's feelings in here. Just because my tech sag Brian.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just saying, until you've seen an elderly man blow drying himself under a hand dryer to drive after a shower, that will influence your decisions.

SPEAKER_02

I guess it would.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, thank god Mark didn't go there. I was I feel like he was gonna talk about you know what I thought you were gonna talk about, Mark? What's it your grandpa's balls again? Just like I can't for a fourth time. But so can I read between the lines a little bit, Brian? Um, and ask the question when you say not as many older people there, do you mean a lot more hotter young hot young people at your the one you pick?

SPEAKER_01

Fair to say.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. Well, I think if if we would have had that intel going into it, I mean it would have been Yeah, if I'd have known that right off the bat, I'd have said Elliot Fitness.

SPEAKER_02

You did you did well no, would you plan it something fitness because of they serve pizza and donuts?

SPEAKER_04

Right. Which I have to assume is not true, but right? No, it's true.

SPEAKER_02

They used to when I went.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, okay. Was that like they had a like a table of donuts before you got the the chisel and stone to like sign in? I mean, yeah, Fred Flintstone times. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Hey, quit picking on me. Let's talk to Brian.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04

So uh that that I had we actually had a few questions about these two gyms, which would be more appropriate before you picked one, but are they both are they both 247?

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, actually. Uh Rackage Club was twenty four seven. This is actually like somewhat limited day closed for about five to six plus hours uh overnight.

Calling Brian About The Gym Choice

SPEAKER_04

See now that's why that's why. I can't go to LA Fitness. It'd be a deal breaker for me. I'm a night person. So we'll call that the reason I don't go to the gym. Not a problem for you because you get up every morning early for work, right?

SPEAKER_01

I mean more or less.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Yeah, you've had some long days too. I mean, you often do, but um, so uh you know, I think we were all excited uh to hear about this. Mark Mark's wife, Christina. She wouldn't shut up about it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Did Brian pick a gym? Did Brian pick a gym?

SPEAKER_02

And then when you told her yes, which one? We can't talk about it. She gave you the look.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but um so how long have you well the last time when we first last time we talked, you had you had gone to the and by the way, I think this is the first time hearing that the other one was called the Racket Club. I think that would have helped a lot to have that information. So you went there three days in a row, which I couldn't believe. And from you know what what I've heard as we've been chatting here and there, it sounds like you've been really sticking with it with this new gym.

SPEAKER_01

Uh yeah. Um keeping the streak going more or less, aside from a couple uh long days of work to not get there, but uh it's been pretty consistent.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, well, it's it's props. Like I'm impressed. Good for you, man. Yeah, congratulations. Because I sure as hell can I do it? Well, no. No, I mean I think that's been established. Uh and it's you so you picked you and go in there for how long now?

SPEAKER_01

Uh about maybe a week, week and a half, I think, all all uh actually since the first of no like just uh probably like the 28th of January to now.

SPEAKER_04

I don't do math, so we'll call that two weeks.

SPEAKER_01

I can't math either.

SPEAKER_04

Excellent. Sounds like you're still liking it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's been it's been good so far. Um weight machines, uh like kind of all the ellipticals got everything kinda like uh pretty well fetched.

SPEAKER_04

Good scenery, sounds like uh but uh yeah that I mean that's that's really and and I want to say, you know, because we are what would you call us, Mark? Um bad lazy. Yes. I was gonna say we are doing a public service or something like that. And and you I'll just say this, and you can say what you want about it. Uh from what you've said, you already are starting to feel a lot better, you know, right? Getting back to the gym regularly.

SPEAKER_01

Uh yeah, it has been uh great. Uh a lot more energy, sleeping better, and uh starting to see some moderate, you know, early gains, I guess would be the word, not not super into like weight gains, but yeah, I mean like just uh general benefits.

SPEAKER_04

So you said the word gain, and I'm gonna you weren't here, but so we're gonna jump back a little bit in this episode. Uh shortly before we called you. Mark gave me an interesting uh statistic, right, Mark?

SPEAKER_02

Yes, which was uh for every nine pounds you're overweight, you lose a quarter inch of your junk. So I've got like a two-footer somewhere, Brian.

SPEAKER_04

As an educated, as an educated man, Brian, who I I mean you do forensic digital forensic, you know how to suss things out. Like, does that does that sound right to you?

SPEAKER_01

Uh I am not a doctor, sir, but I have seen um evidence that would support that hypothesis.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you. Dang. So much. I'm gonna mark that one for me.

SPEAKER_04

It's only I think it only counts if no, see you you can't just go the rest of your life saying you're hung like a fucking horse because it's in there. I'm telling you, I'll show you the equation. Told you I'm flat as a Kindle.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

At some point, is it like is there a curve? If we like at some point it it just disappears and then it's like it all depends on what handed you are, if it's curved or not. Yeah, we've all talked about left room.

SPEAKER_05

We're all at the same time.

SPEAKER_04

Although from Brian's reaction, maybe not for a while.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02

So horrifying. It's got a slight bend in my pelvis.

SPEAKER_04

That was there's nothing slight about that fucking bend, dude. And I really, you know, in retrospect, I I really hope that guy saw a doctor. That was not gonna be a great life.

SPEAKER_02

Talk about scraping the walls.

LA Fitness Wins And Early Gains

SPEAKER_04

No, you get caught on the doorframe as you're walking through. Just a nook around boom, slam your face, a jet. Oh god, it's not a way to live. But yeah, no, I appreciate I appreciate that. What you're saying, what you're saying about, you know, um the gains and not the mark kind of gains, but the actual gains and the feeling feeling better stuff because uh I don't it uh but for you when you're on, I don't think anybody's ever gonna tell people that on the spot. We're just gonna be like, uh smoking our cigarettes, drinking our beer. God dang, why do I feel like shit all the time? Oh, well, we're all relieved. I think everybody's like, thank God Brian has made this choice and is feeling better and doing a thing. Once again, mad respect, bro, for doing that. Definitely. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. Um, and like you and I have talked about a little bit, Brian, like we would love, you know, to get you on and find you know, find a a way to get you on to talk, you know, more about what you do and stuff. And you know, I think every everybody that's heard you on here that they all really love you, so I think they'd all be down for that. That'd be great. Speaking of that, I do have a digital forensics quite my printer's broken. Do I I wouldn't do that to you except I might, because it'd be fucking funny. Alright, but uh well, I'm gonna let you go.

Uh do you have a baby that I don't know about? It's a cat. Oh, is that is it Sammy?

SPEAKER_01

That is Sammy.

SPEAKER_04

Why is she so chatty right now?

SPEAKER_01

Uh I don't know. There's something she sees, I think she wants some treats. Oh, I gotcha.

SPEAKER_04

Is it the crack? We don't need that much.

SPEAKER_02

No, I need the treats too.

SPEAKER_04

Is this the cat crack?

SPEAKER_01

Like the chularoo thing that she's the churrooo. It is the thing that, you know, you will see the devil come out of your kitty if she doesn't get it.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, yes. Another uh PSA for everybody. If you need to lure a cat out or do get a cat to do something, get those little chuleroo, or what are they actually called, Brian? Uh churu. Churu. There's this little like it's like a gogurt for cats. And they are crackheads with this stuff. But it doesn't taste that bad too if you only get a little hit while you're doing it.

SPEAKER_02

But after 12 Mandellos, nothing tastes bad, Brian.

SPEAKER_04

Uh mute button, mute button, mute button. All right, BJ. Well, thanks again. Uh we'll we'll let you go.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, thanks, folks. Have a great day.

SPEAKER_04

You too.

SPEAKER_02

Bye. Take care, bye. Uh he's so nice. How are you friends with him? That's that's a valid question.

SPEAKER_04

Come on. Um he is nice. Um, I think he's probably wondering the second part of your question about you. Like, was he friends with him? Not the first part. Everybody wonders, yeah. Mm-hmm. It is kind of a mystery sometimes. Yeah, mystery machine. Wow, I think that was a really great contribution to my setup there. Um, is that a Scooby-Doo reference? Yes. Did you Scooby-Doo me? Uh-huh. I gave you a Scooby-Snack. Those were uh God, somebody I don't know. Uh I had uh made me think of a story, but I can't remember what it was. Are those actual things? They used to be. Back before you were born. I assumed. Yeah. Uh like you go to the store and get Scooby Snacks? Yeah, they had Scooby Snacks for your pets. Uh for your pets.

SPEAKER_02

How'd they taste? I don't know. Really? Yeah. It was just hard to get them in the bowl to smoke them.

SPEAKER_04

You do realize this has a built-in polygraph that only I can see on the board over here, right?

SPEAKER_02

What, that I'm lying?

SPEAKER_03

Maybe.

SPEAKER_02

Is my mouth moving? Yes. Am I lying? Yes. According to Ryan. I I don't call you a liar. Did I have to?

SPEAKER_04

You said polygraph. Uh, well. But to be fair, and let's be clear about this, I don't want people thinking I'm saying things about you aren't true. What I did say is, quote, a good percentage of what comes out of your mouth is bullshit. Yes. Yes. And that's different from calling you a liar. That is. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So, um did you when you came in, um, you had to come in the back way because uh don't you broke the gate.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Don't just laugh at me about the gate. It's it's it's uh it's really trying. Well, uh hey, at least we got one thing fixed. No, it's not working. The gate's not working. Oh what are you? I thought I thought the gate was working. No, I did did you not. Can we go back to the beginning of this sentence where I said you came in the back way because the gate's not working? Oh yeah. And then you said at least we got one thing fixed?

SPEAKER_02

That was a different lead in to something else, but I forgot that we were on something else.

SPEAKER_04

And so, oh, what was the thing you were talking about?

SPEAKER_02

The little trailer. The little trailer? Yeah, we finally got the fenders cut off the room. You mean the ability trailer? It's little, right?

SPEAKER_04

Depends on how you look at it, but i in in our. Usually with a mirror laying flat on the ground so I can see it. Oh, that's so sad. So funny. Um No, here on the right side when we we say little trailer, we're talking about one of your trailers over there.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's right. Yeah, like the utility trailer. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04

You're welcome. Yeah, why don't we call it the utility trailer? We'll call it. Okay, I'll write that. So we fixed it, right? Well, it wasn't it was a fix and an upgrade. Don't okay. We don't need to hear you writing things. It's the only way I know how to spell it. And I contend that there's a good chance it wasn't spelled right. But let's not check that right now. Yeah, let's not. So we fixed it, right? Yep. And what were we We've only talked about it 17 times, so why don't you recap for everybody?

Cat Treats, Churu, And Goodbyes

SPEAKER_02

So, excuse me, uh, we had this utility trailer. By the way, I didn't brip into the micrail. I know, I'm telling you, don't do it. Oh, okay. I did that last time. Yeah. So over at the at our place, my place, well, Christine and I's place, wherever that is over there, and I'm pointing. Um, we had the tote, 275-gallon tote on the utility trailer. So I didn't have to go to the beginning of the time. Uh, it's gonna be a quick believing. All right, I mail it's quick. Uh so when we took it over there, all the tires were flat. And so it just keeps going. Last time after uh we got them to the with podcast, Ryan came over with uh grinder and we uh put trailer tires on it instead of little 13-inch tires, so we had to cut the fenders off.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, and and we did it uh you know, and I I don't want to give myself too much credit because it's not like I came over there so we could do that. First time for everything. I came over to use your mound. Um get up on your mound and see if we could get the gas out and or the air out, sorry. Which we had some success with.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_04

What do you mean? You were there. The X bed? Yeah, when we had it up at an angle so we could all the air out from you changing the Right, and I said we've we had some success there, and he said, Well, that's good, as if it's news to you. You're supposed to be like, Yeah, we did. I'm trying to make you feel good, Ryan. Like I'm not telling you things. We're okay. So uh yeah, we got the trailer done, which is really slick because it had very, very small tires on it. Well, they weren't that small, but like I would say probably the wheel and tire. Like 12, probably 15-inch tire, right? Uh the width of the tire, yeah. It was a 13-inch ramp. I think I said width the tire. No, it was a 13-inch ram. Yeah. 12. 13 12 and a half. Um, so yeah, it's a small tire. And we use full ass, like full-size trailer tires. The ones go like on a RV trailer or flatbed or something. 15 inch.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. That. Um which but it's really cool because um it like the tires are just because of the truck pulling it now. Except not today because we we used it, uh my mom was helping clean up the Raptor pen, and there's a lot of leaves and stuff out there. And so I I brought this hooked it on the Sport 10 and brought it in. Uh brought the trailer in to put stuff on there. And the Sport 10, though it does have tires that say for trailer service only, I think the tires are actually a little smaller than the trailer. Probably. Yeah, but it's uh you know, I'm really happy about it. And despite the fact that three or four minutes on a trailer and tires I go with, it's probably not the best, probably not the best radio in the world. Uh I'm happy about it because it like it's useful now. We can use the crap out of it. That yeah, that's what makes it nice. Yeah. It is what makes it nice, yeah. Good. Well, well put. Um, although I gotta tell you about the balls, um, it takes the smaller ball, you know?

SPEAKER_02

So it takes a two-inch ball. Or the one and three quarter, one and seven eighths.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. The smaller one. You know what I mean though.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the for the hitch.

SPEAKER_03

Right. Okay. What's the normal one?

SPEAKER_02

Two inch, unless you're yeah, two inch for pulling like U-Hauls and boats and stuff like that. Or like my flatbed. Or your flatbed, yeah.

Utility Trailer Upgrade Recap

SPEAKER_04

Or your little trailer.

SPEAKER_02

No, my little trailer's two and five sixteenths.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it's not a competition. But yeah, so two inch is the regular one. But no, this takes the little the smaller one, which is I don't know. One and seven eighths. There you go. Um and you know I have that four-way like ball ball ball hook thing on the LR3? Yes. Yeah, that's what we used to get over there, uh, which is really cool. The suburban, I don't have it, only has one ball. The um the X bed, I had to go find the ball that used to be on the F-150 and wrench that ball off the back of it and put that ball on the X bed. That's a lot of balls. But you spoke too soon. I don't know if you know this, but the Sport 10 going back to that, it has two balls on the back. Did you know that? No, I didn't. Yeah. And I mean, they're just it's like how I would do it. They're just like drill a couple holes, they're on the bumper. And they're not even centered. But what it does is got it's got a ball, it's got a ball for every occasion. One for each hand. For each hand. Yeah, that was that was too easy. Um, but yeah, so already uh point being, you know, 18 minutes later or whatever the hell it is on the trailer. Point being already it's very useful, so I'm glad we fixed it.

SPEAKER_02

I am too.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Um good, good.

SPEAKER_02

So the next is the the gate.

SPEAKER_04

The next project is the last project, which is the gate. Yeah, yeah. We're just gonna have to take that panel down there. I can't wait.

SPEAKER_02

I that big ass panel down there. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04

Yep. Yeah, uh well, you know what? Let's commit to doing that before not the next episode. Before like two episodes out. Okay. Alright. Yep. And I say and I I'm pretty brave to say that because my having my mom in the studio, she hurt me. You're in trouble. She's gonna make a studio. She's gonna be like, gentlemen, like pointing out her watch, gentlemen. Gentlemen, are you gonna put that panel up? Or no. Uh but yeah, uh, so yeah, we'll do I mean, god dang it. I having it working again here and there and for a little while is so nice. Yeah, it it is nice when it works. Yeah. And we can't we got back from the store today and pulled in. Ah, damn thing's dead. Well, look, I'd left the back gate open, so we just went in, which I know is a lot easier for me and my trucks than you. Was it like an 18-point turn to get the uh no?

SPEAKER_02

I used the front bumper of the truck to push the gate open a little bit more.

SPEAKER_04

You didn't have to do like a three-point turn or anything?

SPEAKER_02

No, uh I knew it. Well, you told me to come in through the back gate, so with the one ton I went wide and came in a lot straighter. I should have brought the Bronco.

SPEAKER_04

No, yeah, alright. Uh tell you what, that was gonna be really fun story, I'm sure. But the show's over. Already? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02
