Ever had a small fix turn into a life upgrade? That’s the pulse running through this one where we juggle dog chaos, missing pens, and a surprise studio cameo while chasing down tech issues and a trench full of roots. We laugh hard at ourselves, but there’s real progress hiding in the mess: a lost keepsake found in seconds, a fresh set of tires, a utility trailer that suddenly does the work of a weekend crew. And maybe a dinosaur fossil?

Hey everybody, welcome back to Sight and Center. I'm our Dave. I'm Mart. How are we doing today? Doing good. How are you doing over there? Well, you know, I'm all right. Oh, okay. Yeah. Just all right. Good talk. Good talk. Yeah. We are uh we should say that we do have my mother in the studio again. Um she had a I wouldn't call it a traumatic experience participating last time. Hated everything about it. I can't remember the words exactly, but that sounds clever. Yeah. She's uh she's sans microphone right now, uh, but in the studio with us. Um maybe taking notes on everything we're doing wrong. Did you get her a pen? Oh, I didn't. That was pretty clever of me. Or is that a dig at me for not getting you a pen for like three episodes?
SPEAKER_01Uh I'll just you figure it out. We'll we'll just leave it with that.
Pens, Pets, And Playdate Chaos
SPEAKER_02Oh, well, since you can't since you mentioned it, you never got me a pen. Uh, because all of them are over there by you. I'm saying in general, you've never gotten me a pen. No, uh-uh. Yeah. Nope. Um you know, it's like BYOP. That's kind of, I think, standard operating. But yeah, I had an extra pen, so you got an extra pen. Yep. Wait, did you say I stole it or something earlier when we got in here? No, uh-uh. No, I oh, you were glad it was still there. I was glad it was still there. Yeah, I remember the last one. We've got a pen. Uh sorry there was somebody else in the house who needed to use a pen for a second, Mark. What, Hartley? Oh god. If only he'd just swallow it, it might get stuck. He could poop blue. Oh, like if he ate it. Yeah, I guess so. Oh, it's stupid. Um, he uh I have to say though, and I hate to admit it, but he's been really good lately. It's because glamour's here. I think so too. I think so. Treats, treats, that's part of it, and also um that what how'd you describe us last time, fat and lazy? Uh yeah. Yeah, we're not she's not that, so no, she's been really active, so she wears him out. And I I contend that he's just been tired. He's not be he's not he's not well behaved. Yeah. But uh he's been really good, really, really good the last little bit. That's good. Yeah. Um, which uh you didn't you you came over tonight, and I there's a couple things you're supposed to bring. Um well, and you didn't, but one of them is Ellie. I was gonna ask you, how why didn't you bring Ellie? Come play with Finny.
SPEAKER_01Because I didn't want to deal with her.
SPEAKER_02We're talking about Ellie. I know.
SPEAKER_01Well, I can't I can't deal with her, she's in Salem Oregon. Uh Ellie just gets a little bit excited and she's hard to control sometimes when she gets around all the dogs. Yeah, yeah, but I know that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you know that I know that. Yep. I mean, that's like when I when I come over to your place and I just open the door and there's a giant Hartley. Yeah, I don't have that consideration for you. It's like here, deal with this crazy for whatever. Yeah, um, she is a little bit nuts, but uh, she loves Finny, and Finney hasn't been over there yet, has he?
SPEAKER_01Not for a while.
SPEAKER_02Was he ever over there?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you brought him over that one time, and then he came over that one time on his own. That was uh Hartley. No, and Hartley came over and then Finley came over one time too. Did Finley come back? I brought him back, Christine and I brought him back.
SPEAKER_02Oh, that's I yeah, okay. Yeah, that's when the my brother was here.
SPEAKER_01No, that was uh that was uh here about three weeks ago. We were outside, and here comes Finley around the corner. Yeah, it's like oh I'm here, I'm here, and then you get Kanayan Lucky behind him going, we didn't bring him, we didn't bring him, you know, they're full of crap. Yeah, yeah, I remember that. And then you you brought him back, the two of you. Yep, and then we all stood together. You did, right? Uh in the vehicle, because God forbid he had to walk all the way over and all the way back.
Passwords, Pins, And Laptop Lockouts
SPEAKER_02Dang, I thought was I was I not here for this? I don't remember this. Yeah. You were here? I thought I thought it was the time where you walked Hartley back over. No, we did walk Hartley back over. Okay, well, real good keeping track of my dogs I'm doing. Oh my god. And yeah. Yeah, speaking of ke keeping track of things, uh, we've all been I've been keeping track of uh the things that you know you're not doing. That's one that's one of my things I I I do stay on top of it. Because it takes the pressure off of you. Yeah, well, there's two ways looking at it. One of them is that. Uh so I think last time, maybe it's been a couple episodes, trying to get in your Gmail. Because you forgot the password, right? Yep, I'm in there now. Yeah, so I don't know, this is probably the ninth or tenth episode we've recorded. We've more we've been working on this password thing uh since the beginning. Yes, we have. Yeah. Um, so props for after weeks and months um getting that done. Couldn't have got it done without Christina. I know. She's the backup email. Yeah, yeah, I know. Um that's yeah, okay. I don't think she deserves props for that. I mean, she just had to send a fucking code. So that was one of two hurdles. Um the other hurdle was getting your laptop going so we could get uh the analytics stuff on your laptop and also like do a test remote. We kind of talked about that before. Yep. You finally did. You finally did, you got your lap up laptop turned on, so we're ready to go with that, right?
SPEAKER_01Uh it turned on. And it wanted a pin number. And I don't remember the pin number. There it is.
SPEAKER_02Uh it's just like, oh my god. It took like two and a half weeks for you to get the charger connected to it. Well, I had to find the charger. I understand what's involved in getting a charger connected to it. Well, you have to find it, so that's the biggest part. I know. But that was what I was saying. It took you two and a half weeks to find the charger. Yeah, it did. Did you try certain did you try any pins?
SPEAKER_01Or did you just look at like Oh, yeah, I tried the my typical six numbers. Okay. Yeah. I I think I probably won the lottery. There's many numbers as I tried to use trying to get it unlocked, but none of them worked on there.
SPEAKER_02I would think it would kick you out after like three.
SPEAKER_01No, I was up to like five or six. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Tries? Yeah. Okay, you made it sound like it was a lot. Oh at a time. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01Doesn't see you don't get credit for each keystroke. I do. I give myself credit that I'm actually doing something besides watching YouTube.
SPEAKER_02And you know, I think that is really sweet of you for yourself. I I admire that to an extent. Uh so um, can't get in the laptop. Oh yeah, actually last night you were telling me, uh, laptop forgot the password. I'm like, okay. Oh, what do you I'm like, what do you do when when you forget the password to your laptop? And you're like, oh, it's no problem. You just go and you hit the for got password. And you kind of trailed off. I'm like, you have no you have no idea, do you? No.
SPEAKER_01I'll figure it out. I've been using a Mac now for a year as my main, so I haven't needed to use the laptops. Yeah. Uh I mean, there's Mac laptops too, but right? Yeah, MacBooks. I'm sorry, I'm distracted by these fun lights on the side of my microphone.
SPEAKER_02Which was my biggest fear when I had that damn thing. Squirrel. I'm gonna say two things right now. One, we talked about it because I had to get a new microphone arm or a boom, whatever they call it for your desk. Right. Because the first one just wasn't working out, and so I needed to get it, you know, cheap and fast, and it just ended up being one with LEDs and flashy lights and stuff, and I was just like, oh god. As soon as I saw I'm like, okay. And then it came and I said, Look, right? Yeah, I got you a new arm. I'm gonna plug it in, and I'm gonna show you what it does. But that's gonna be the end of it. You're just gonna ignore it. I forgot. Yeah, I know. And uh the second thing is uh with regard to you being distracted, you you know we're doing a podcast right now, right?
SPEAKER_01Oh crap, I forgot that too. Uh sometimes it feels like Well, I'm over here all by myself in the corner. That's the nobody nobody puts baby in the corner.
SPEAKER_02Is that a reference to something?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Dirty Dancing.
SPEAKER_02I know that movie. Yeah. Oh yeah, I already told you Patrick Swiss died. Yeah, um a lot longer before than what you thought he had died. Yeah, well, I'd say we were both sorted in the ballpark, but um, yeah, they're making a second one of those. And Roadhouse. They already made the Roadhouse. Damn it. I tried to remember something that you said. I already fucked it up. When did that come out? Uh two years ago. Did you watch it?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And it was I liked it because it was nothing like the original one. They weren't trying to remake the original one. They they made another roadhouse, but it was pretty good.
SPEAKER_02So it was more like a reimagining? Pretty much. Was it a sequel or just a like No, uh-uh.
SPEAKER_01All new characters and everything. It was actually I liked it. A lot of people didn't, but I'm easily amused. Yeah, that's it. We've we've proven that with the lights on the side of this mic boom. Many other things.
SPEAKER_02I don't think that's something that you had to announce. Um I just wanted to look up uh must be looking up when that other one came out. Uh no, I'm well yeah, Roadhouse too. Yeah. Yeah. Um, because uh I don't believe you, of course. Um I wondered either, but yeah, so it uh hasn't even been made yet. Tell us more about the movie. Now I'm really interested. There was another Roadhouse. Uh yes, there was. And it was made two years ago. I think it was two years ago. Who was in it? Just anybody that was in it.
LED Mic Distractions And Movie Confusion
SPEAKER_01I don't know. Uh the other one that says it's on Amazon Prime. What's it called? Roadhouse 2? Uh shit, I I don't know. I'm I'm trying to figure it out. Uh 2024 Roadhouse was announced as a thing they were going to do. It has uh Jake Gyllenhaal. It sure will. No, it it already did. I've I've watched it. Okay, Jake Gyllenhaal. 19 or 219, Jesus. 2024 full cast and crew.
SPEAKER_02It was I I'm actually looking at something here.
SPEAKER_01It's also gotten post loan.
SPEAKER_02Correct. 2024. Amazon announced that the sequel was in development with Jake Gyllenhaal.
SPEAKER_01Yes, but right here it says watch the movie. It came out in 2024, action thriller, one hour and 54 minutes long, and it says watch the movie. It's already out, my friend.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Um there's a reason I'm sticking with this, is because uh either you and I have different internets, which based on our history could be true.
SPEAKER_01Especially on those sites.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, exactly. Well, yeah. Um, but no, it's okay. Let me can I read you, let me read to you the title of the article that I'm looking at right now on this movie. Okay. Roadhouse 2, in parentheses, upcoming film. Right, but that was in 2024. The article is right now. It's like, no, this it said let me f let me read more. So in 2024, Amazon announced the sequel is in development. In April 2025, Guy Ritchie had been hired to direct it. Okay. Okay. Filming. Filming principal photography began in April 2025. I don't know what to tell you. I want to know where you're where you're seeing this. On my phone on Google. Oh, I'm using Bing. Yeah. So I'm sure when I go to Google Chandler Bing? That reality will definitely there's a Roadhouse 2 that came out two years ago, and it's not the one that Jake is upcoming.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because it was funny because it had McGregor in it. Who is McGregor? Oh, he's MMA fighter. Okay, I still don't know who he is.
SPEAKER_02Um, okay, I just hit I I tapped Google Roadhouse 2. Is that what you typed? Yeah. Okay. Here's what Google AI says. Uh Roadhouse 2 is an upcoming action sequel to the 2024 Roadhouse remake. Oh, wait a minute. That's a different thing.
unknownWhat?
SPEAKER_02Wait.
SPEAKER_01You can watch it on Amazon Prime, I think.
SPEAKER_02I don't know. Now we're getting oh, it has Jake Chillenhall in it.
SPEAKER_01Shit, like I'm not even here.
SPEAKER_02It came out in 2024. Yep, two years ago. Okay. You are very smart, thank you. Yeah, no. I asked. You could have helped me out at any point. I tried. You don't listen. I do listen. The movie that you're talking about is not called Roadhouse 2, it's called Roadhouse. That's what I said, Roadhouse. You asked me for Roadhouse 2, I said no. No, you didn't say no, you said yes. Oh my god. And so Roadhouse 2 is a sequel to Roadhouse, which was made in 2024. Okay. I bet you didn't know that. Um how did we get here? You not believe in me? Nope. That's where we ended up. How did we get here? Uh dirty dancing. Yeah, dirty dancing. Something about that. Yeah. Say before that. Okay. No, what did you say before that? That got us into dirty dancing.
SPEAKER_01Oh, the they also came out with the Roadhouse, too. No, I said that. Okay.
SPEAKER_02What were we talking about?
SPEAKER_01I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Why are we allowed to have a podcast?
SPEAKER_01Because it doesn't really matter how many people listen, we love laughing at ourselves.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean, that's true to the point. Um computer, laptop, Macs can be laptops. You mentioned somebody, like Phillinger or something. Or Blupus. Was it a it was a character in the Roadhouse movie? No, I didn't mention anybody that was. No, Dirty Dancing, sorry.
SPEAKER_01No. No, I I'm lost, man. Back to the back to the Google. Back to the Googles. What were Mark and Ryan talking about before?
SPEAKER_02You know, they went off track. Are you talking about the original Dirty Dancing or the new one? I I let's I know you don't remember saying anything about it, but would it be the original? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Uh let's probably because nobody puts baby in a corner.
SPEAKER_02Oh my fucking god. Yes. I'm old. You gotta give me a minute. No. That's the whole I it's been like 10 fucking minutes on this. We finally get it figured out.
SPEAKER_01It's the longest I've lasted in a long time.
SPEAKER_02Need to retire it. Okay. Okay, I'll retire it. Baby in a hole. Well the what's the baby in a corner.
SPEAKER_01Okay, what's the thing? Uh because when they were uh at the end of the movie, when she uh Patrick Swayze's character went to her dad and says nobody puts baby in a corner because he had put her in the the corner of the table. His baby? Uh his daughter. Not Patrick Swayze's the other guy's daughter. The baby daughter. Yeah. And everybody called her baby.
SPEAKER_02So you can't put a baby, you shouldn't put a baby in the corner. Like you just put his baby in the corner?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Like time out? Yeah, timeout. She was in trouble because she was caught with Patrick Swayze for dancing.
SPEAKER_02All over when they're in. How can he dance when he's a baby?
SPEAKER_01It's really easy. Haven't you seen that new uh app where you can make things dance?
SPEAKER_02Not yeah, no, I'm being sort of serious. I'm not getting what you're saying. You're putting a baby in the corner. Her name, her name was Baby. The baby's name was oh, the baby's name was the girl's name was Baby. The dancing lady's name was Baby. Yeah. This we've talked about this before. Context. So when you make a reference, like, don't put baby in the drink or whatever you said. Um, and then you're like, oh, because in this movie a guy said it. Okay, here's what you'd want to do. There's a character named Baby. She's uh she dances. Okay, I actually don't have a direct suggestion on that, but just right context. Um up there, and I blame you for this whole Roadhouse, Roadhouse 2, Roadhouse Remake bullshit.
SPEAKER_01I'll take it.
SPEAKER_02So was the Roadhouse remake good? I I said I liked it, yeah. As if I didn't listen to you.
SPEAKER_01You're asking me again, so that means you didn't listen to me. I acknowledged that. But no, I you said like I said I liked it because it was nothing like the original one.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, you did. Yeah. And then I asked you if it was a re-match. Yeah, okay. Um but not dirty dancing too. Roadhouse. Right. Oh, wait, that's what we're talking about. Um yeah, you said we've talked about this a lot. I'll be honest with you. Um even the couple minutes we spent on Dirty Dancing and Patrick Swayze, like that one episode, right? It's way more than I ever thought we'd talk about any of that. And right now, this has been the whole show.
SPEAKER_01Well, that's changed subjects. What do we got next?
Why Are We Like This: Tangent Autopsy
SPEAKER_02Thanks. You're welcome. Thanks. Thanks. So you take uh derail the entire show, um, and then you're like, so what do you want to do next? What's now? Um, what's uh you got okay, laptop, pen. I'm telling this whole fucking Patrick's way dirty dance. It's throwing me off. But um you're gonna get your well, I sent you that's where we were 20 minutes later from the password. We're back. I I thought I asked my guy. Right. And he sent you a list of things to try. Yes, he did. And you're gonna try that tonight. Yes. Oh, tonight? Cut me off fight intention. I knew you would. Tonight. Yes. Okay, I'll try it tonight. Awesome. So hopefully we can get that going. And by the time you actually get that damn thing going, I'm not gonna remember why we even needed it. Because I'm starting not to remember.
SPEAKER_01Uh the original reason was so that I had a different uh source to do the socials and stuff. Oh, yeah. And then also with me leaving here in a few weeks to go up north, we were gonna try and podcast from my laptop. The remote. Yeah, the remote. God, it's still two weeks till you leave. It's a little bit longer than that. Only takes 40 hours to get there. That's a long fucking drive.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02Are you doing a straight shot? Probably. Yes. I don't want to do hotels with dogs. Uh yeah, I mean I get you. It's a pain in the butt, but ugh, it's a long haul. Yeah. But it'll be quieter and less gajunky junk because Christina's already up there. Because you got new tires finally.
Road Trip Plans And New Tires
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, I did get new tires. Well, when I left your house uh after that we did the last podcast, um I had a low tire light on.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01And so I got my new tires put on the other day, and it's so much quieter, drives so much better. Yeah. The guy said I might got as much life out of those old tires as I could. So I feel good now that you pushed me in the direction to get them before I go up there. Uh, have been pushing you in the direction for six months.
Trenching For Utilities Meets Root City
SPEAKER_02Well, you can toot your own horn, but yes, you did. Uh I just like that. It's you know, the whole reason you need tires is uh they had virtually no tread left on them. And the tire light comes on. Like, oh god, a little little bit of low pressure. You got to get new tires now, finally. Yeah. And I did. I I and you know what? I'm happy for you because that's it wasn't a good plan to drive on those. No, it wasn't. You're you're right on that one. I know. Hold on. I can record that. Put on a loop. Yeah. Uh can you say it again? Uh you were right on that one. Thanks. I just like it. Um one thing I was not right on was uh we had well you we need to get electric and water run uh at your place. Yeah, up, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, up where? Uh to move where we live our trailer up to the other spot.
SPEAKER_02Right. From uh because right now, like the power where it comes in, the water where it comes in is uh it's on the edge of the property kind of, and where y'all's house is gonna end up is like you know, hundred and well, hundred and twenty feet roughly away from yeah. That's how much PVC you got. So you're talking about digging the trench, and I'm like, yeah, I've I mean I got this little like pointy thingy on the back I can put on the back of my tractor, come over there, bing bang, boom. Oh my god. I thought it was gonna take like 15 minutes.
SPEAKER_01I told you I was worried about the roots. You said no, they were all burnt up. I did, you did, and I did. Okay, so what is what does that mean? I was uh there while I was operating the tractor.
SPEAKER_02Um God, what a Freaking pain in the butt. Well, first of all, I had kind of forgotten how to operate that particular thing. So I kind of messed it up the first run or two. I'll take that. Okay. Oh my god, it's like every there's so many roots. That's terrible. I couldn't even believe it. I think I made like five passes. Yeah, and then I did like five more the next morning, and there's still so I think back I think I made like six passes. Yeah. I must have only done four then. Uh no, you actually did a lot better than I did. Um because even I It was daylight when I did it. I know. I was gonna say it was like 11:30. I went out there after I zip tie installed my headlights on the tractor. And they look good. They look great. Yes, yeah. Uh and so you know, we work at night, people know that. And uh god, after like an hour, I'm like, man, I hate to admit it, but I think this is a daylight job. It is, and you did it, well, you hit it a few more times. Yeah between four and five more times. Right. And you did you did pretty well on it. Um, but there's just a shit ton of roots. Yeah, and then there's that one spot where there's that big root that Yeah, well, I'm not convinced it's a root. Okay. I think well, I'm not say I'm not saying I don't believe you. I was sort of just like joking around because it's like it's like a four four foot, five foot long stretch of this trench. I just won't go, won't give. I think it might be a fossil. A fossil? Yeah. That'd be cool. Right. Dibs. Okay. Yeah. So you can have well. If it's a T-Rex, you can have a rib. If it's a boring dinosaur, you can probably have most of it, honestly.
SPEAKER_01What's a boring dinosaur?
SPEAKER_02Um like a Brachiosaurus.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. See, they've changed all the names of the dinosaurs since I was a kid, so I don't even know what they're called anymore.
SPEAKER_02I th I often in fact I had to stop myself because you it would Brontosaurus, right? Is what you would think of that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Me too. And it's just now it's Brachiosaurus. And I'm always like, every time it comes up, I'm like, did they change it? Is it a different one? But yeah, that's a that's a boring dinosaur, don't you think? Yeah, I think so.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I agree. Yeah. Um T Rex is cool. Oh, also if it's a raptor, you can't have any of it. Okay. Yeah. I'm just I mean, we're laying it out here. I I noticed that. You understand that so many families have been ripped apart when they dig up a dinosaur fossil. You know?
SPEAKER_01Because you think it's all good. You're like those birds on Nemo. Mine? Mine? Mine? On what? Those birds on the seagulls on finding Nemo. Mine? Mine? Mine? Oh, finding Nemo. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I I've not seen the movie. I've heard a lot of people reference the movie. I've not heard anybody ever mention the seagulls, and I have to feel like they've played a minor role. That only you would sort of. Is that true? That's because I only get to play a minor role. In what?
SPEAKER_01In what? I wasn't expecting a rebuttal, I'm sorry. Oh. Well, I oh, so it's just a terrible joke.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Okay. Um, but well, actually uh uh with regard to you playing a minor role, um what's up next? For me the pod. I was just kind of doing what you did to me because you're but no, the trench. This is sort of PSA for everybody out there. Um if you're trenching with the tractor and the triangles like pokey thing, and your buddy says, I think there's a lot of roots in there, um, ask yourself, is he full of shit most of the time? Yes. Yes, and just go for it. And in this case I fucked up, but it might work out for you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it it will. We'll get it done. Get the trailers moved and we have to get it done.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Although between when we started it and now, which has only been two days, not like we slacked off, because yesterday it rained all day. Oh, Jesus. If you went and looked at it, I'm afraid too. What the trench? Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it was muddy. That's like I didn't do anything in it today.
Fossils, Raptors, And Finding The Zippo
SPEAKER_02Muddy is what I would have assumed. No, I I meant I said I asked you this last night. I was like, um, I was a little worried maybe it was gonna fill in more, like dirt, like all of our progress, maybe. No, uh-uh. Did you look at it? Yeah, I looked at it today. Oh, okay. And it was just muddy. It was just muddy. Okay. By tomorrow it should be fine. Yeah. Right. Well, we talked about it, you know, it it'll be easier to get through there with the thingy when it's wet. Yeah, well, a lot easier. Yeah, but the ground on the ground itself around it has to be not uh, you know, so squishy that we just dig in with the tractor. Yeah, and we gotta get that uh raptor's bones out of there.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yep.
SPEAKER_02Do you think it's a raptor? Oh, I think it's root. Oh, I was gonna say size-wise. Could be in the ballpark. Um, yeah, I it don't you think it's I'm not saying it's a fossil, but like it's this it's like this length of trend of ground that just doesn't move. Well, that's it. How can it be one root because when you answer me this? Hold on, go ahead. Riddle me this. I went in both directions. So I've heard. Alright, so you've been looking for your Zippo for quite some time. Yes, I have. And uh look scouring, really. Yeah, I've c I've looked in my truck quite a few times. Well, everywhere, all around. Yep. Um, and it's a bit of a sore subject. Uh I think the last time I asked you about it on the pod, you said, and I'm quoting bite me when I asked you if you'd found it yet. I think you're correct. Yeah. Uh and so a couple things on that. We're talking about it the other night, and I'm asking you again. Okay. Like, no, I'm not asking you now. I'm recapping. Okay, so we're right, are you there now? I'm still here. Yeah, not there. Okay. For a second. Uh I'm not telling you to zip it. I know that pissed you off last time. So just bear with me. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna write that down. That's a little polite way to say shut up for a second. Just bear with me here, if you will. Um, so we're talking about it. And I'm asking you again, like, what uh you know, so you checked your truck, yeah, checked your truck. And I'm like, I bet it's in your truck, and you just didn't look hard enough. And you're like, no, I checked it. I'm like, okay. Um, and then you thought you made it very clear you thought I was a complete freaking moron because I said, Okay, not in your truck. I said, It's probably way more likely that if it's on your truck, it's on your property versus like it fell out in a shopping, like a parking lot, right? Right. So then using that as a segue, which is important, I said, you know, I have a metal detector. We should go over there, see if we can find it. And your smart ass said to me, What'd you say? You detect the truck because it's metal. Yeah, sure would, bud. And I'm like, are you did you think my plan was to go over there and point at the side of your truck? Be like, beep beep, beep. Hey, I think the lighter's in there. Yeah, I was. Yeah. Obviously, what I was thinking is since you you scour your truck and check everywhere and it's definitely not in there, we could look around. Beep, beep, beep. So I was trying to be helpful and stuff, but you were like, uh, you're just dumb. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so actually, your your low tire indication. I was over there, I think maybe even later that night when it came on. And you told me, like, it's got a, you know, the light came on, so I guess we'll get new tires. And I just was like, Are you freaking kidding? And I threw up if I started kicking shit. I'm like, I've been telling you for months. Now the light comes on. Anyway, I'm like, diligent check, yeah. Yeah, I'll get new tires tomorrow. Like, you still need air. I'm like, I'm gonna I'm gonna take care of this. Because I had the LR3 parked right there, have a compressor in the back. And I'm like, and also, do you mind if I look through your truck like seconds out of eyes? You're like, no, no, it's fine. You know, for the zippo, I mean. So I go in and I plug in the compressor and I do the front tire on that side, and I this compressor I use for all my vehicles, it won't even freaking reach the back tire on yours. Your truck is so long. Yep. Yep, yep, says proudly. And so I'm like, all right, that's not gonna work. And I'm like, okay, well, I'm here. Let me just spend some time looking for the lighter, right? And I turn on my flashlight and I peered under the driver's seat and I chuckled for a second, and then I reached under there and I grabbed your zip off, and I you were on the other side of the truck attending to your fire. Uh and so what you heard me say was, uh, I'm not doing your tires. Yeah. Oh, that's cool, that's cool. I'm like, for two reasons. One, the thing won't reach. You're like, it's cool, no problem. I said, and for another, and I walk around the corner and I said, uh, how long do you think it would take me to find your ladder? Or whatever you said. You're like, it's not in there, and I'm just holding out my hand.
SPEAKER_00And you're like, Holy shit.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. It took me, I would say if you could time how long it takes to click a flashlight on, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Less time than that to find it. Well, in my defense, I can't even find milk in the refrigerator. I don't look hard.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I know. Which was why when it came up, and I'd ask you, do you check your truck? And you'd be like, oh yeah, I checked everywhere. And I'd always be a little skeptical. I'm like, did you? Did you really look hard? Yep, I checked everywhere. I did.
SPEAKER_01I thought I did, yes.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, the story's changing.
SPEAKER_01Well, I thought I looked everywhere. Well, I even cleaned out my truck a little bit, uh, looking for it. Because it's been what, two months now that it's been gone?
SPEAKER_02Has it been that long? Yeah, I think so. My goodness. A couple things. There just there's no evidence to suggest that you clean the truck at all when I was uh in there. Granted, it didn't spend very long in there looking for it, just based on what I saw. Um, and uh well uh first of all, I re- recap, please, uh what the lighter is. You know, not everybody listens to every episode. We're not just talking about uh a regular lighter, right?
SPEAKER_01Right. It's a zippo lighter I got from a squadron I was uh attached to when I was in the Navy. Yeah, uh squadron was VFA 15, the Valians.
SPEAKER_02There, there you go. It's a really, really cool thing. Um, so on the one hand, I I'm very happy that we found it. I am too truly sincerely, and also in your fucking face, because I've told you, and you're just gonna have to deal with that. I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it. I'm still a little pissed that it's not mine. I thought it was like pirate rules. I found this finders keepers. I get it. Like that's not work. But no, like truly, that's that's really cool. And you know, I said, like, I kept saying it'll turn up, but it'll turn up. And uh wow, you really do appreciate me finding that because I was where was the chainsaw dig right there? Uh did you did you hold to hold back that one? I'm I'm letting you have your glory. Oh, it is it's glorious. Uh but in all sincerity, I'm I'm glad you found it. I'm glad you found it too. I'm glad you have it back.
SPEAKER_01Yes, I am too. It's in my pocket, is right as it left me since I you found it for me. Yeah, that's good.
Utility Trailer Wins And Mom’s MVP Day
SPEAKER_02Um tires, good, great, yes, zippo, great, trench, total failure. Yeah, but we'll keep we'll keep at it. Yep. Yep. I have to tell you, um, because we had talked about the utility trailer before, well, quite a few times, but I think maybe last time. Um not the small trailer. Do you still have that written down over there? Utility trailer? I yeah, it's right here, utility trailer. Great. Um, because we shouldn't have to have that argument again. No, I put a check mark next to it.
SPEAKER_01What does that mean?
SPEAKER_02Done. That it was done the last time we talked about it. That's why there's a check mark next to it. Did you just put the check mark?
SPEAKER_01I'm not gonna answer that. Okay. I think you're trying to lead the witness.
SPEAKER_02Oh goodness. Okay, but uh no, we we did. We got it uh fixed, new tires, new wheels. We talked about that before. And actually, I was telling yeah, I was telling you we used it for the du for the raptor pen. My mom was yeah, and uh so we used the crap out of it again today. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, because you know, like again, we're fat and lazy. Yeah. My mom's not. So she was out there for most of the day gathering because there's so many trees, so always fall on branches and blah blah. So she's out there with the dogs all day, like gathering branches, and dang, she loaded up three trailer loads of of of wood and you know, brought up to the fire pit.
SPEAKER_01Wow. I I mean three trailer loads.
SPEAKER_02Three trailers.
SPEAKER_01I mean, it's not like it's only four by six, so it didn't take much.
SPEAKER_02I don't think I've ever heard anybody say wow with less enthusiasm. I'm not how I win.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you're marking the spot, aren't you? No, I don't trying to unplug your microphone.
SPEAKER_02Just don't unplug the pretty lights. I was not saying it like like it was a like Herculean amount of wood. I was just giving my mom some props.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I I give her props all the time. She's been sending food over to the trailer with you that she's been cooking. I've been eating good. Yeah, I you you have, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, um, so this really wasn't about you, wasn't about me, wasn't about the utility trailer. It's about your mom. And the utility trailer a little bit. But yeah, uh, just give my mom some props. And also sort of underlining the point that that thing is extremely useful now.
SPEAKER_01That's cool.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and uh, oh, uh the little, the smaller tires that we took off of it. Yeah, yeah, those made really good fires. Um, those have been taken care of. Uh there wasn't much left, so it probably it was all I mean, I think most of the tire no, most of the tire material was present. Yeah. It's just not sort of in the shape of a tire anymore. But it did burn really well. That's cool. Yeah. Um it is, thank you. Appreciate that.
unknownYep.
Listeners, Reviews, And Keeping It Going
SPEAKER_02Um, do you wanna I'm gonna I'm gonna let you take I'm gonna let you take host now or lead or whatever. So I have nothing written down. I don't have anything written down either. Oh we don't do that, we don't script the show out or anything.
SPEAKER_01No. Could you imagine trying to script this sucker?
SPEAKER_02Well especially with me. I know. Yeah. Well, I can't imagine having to script it, but the AI thing transcribes it, transcripts it after we load it up, you know? Right. And just reading it, I'm like, oh my god, could you imagine if people actually wrote this shit like in advance and then said it?
SPEAKER_01Well, yeah, and then you sent me that thing last night that shows how many people have actually downloaded it or listened to it now.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we uh I'll say this. We have uh there are some people listening to it outside of our direct circle. Um, and we've uh actually I was kind of maybe I was gonna hit on that next episode, but yeah, we've actually started we've got we've gotten some reviews, like handful of reviews. Oh, cool. Yeah, they're not good. Um but oh cool, but you know, it's engagement, it's what they always say. Uh yeah, you really don't have anything you want to touch on. No, I think we're good. I think with what? With with life. We're only 25 minutes in. You just we don't have an episode. Good with life? All right. Well, I guess it's the last episode of Set and Centered. Uh nothing left to fucking join us next time when we're not here. If we just if we just uh released the song, the set and center theme song, as a new episode every week or twice a week, do you think we'd still get followers?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they'd probably be happier that we weren't on it anymore. That's true. Yeah, it probably is. Where'd those two assholes go?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah. Because again, most people listening are probably people who feel like they're obligated to like, uh Mom, what'd you think of the podcast? It was super great. And I was really excited to listen to all of them and everything. Yeah. No, she's actually been a real huge fan of it, which everybody knows by now. Um, I'll tell you a funny thing, I'm gonna throw her under the bus. Uh, it was really hilarious. Um, she'd gotten some stuff out of order um in her playlist uh for the podcast because she uses uh Amazon music. Okay, and they're all different. It's so weird, but anyway, she uh she's been telling, telling me, telling us that like they're the episodes are getting consistently better, right? Yeah, and she's kind of been saying that all along. So she's listening to uh an episode the other night that she hadn't heard yet, and uh she gets done and she said, She's like, Yeah, that that was good, but you know, I I I still you guys have only gotten better since then, like you just keep getting better. And I'm like, uh the one you listened to was the last one we released two days ago. You're like, oh she's like, oh geez. Oh, it was really good. No, it was great. It was really funny because the I don't I don't remember which one it was, but it was good, it was just not like that exciting. Um, it was kind of a a long haul, uh I say, after doing half a podcast episode about Roadhouse 2 or not. Or not. Or not, no. Uh but yeah, it was it was kind of funny. Yeah, so you know, it's people listening. There there are a few listening or have listened. It's when they listen for a second time, that's that's gonna be big. Yeah, yeah. So we do appreciate that. And you know, we're not gonna hit you with the likes I what's the thing? Like, like, comment, and subscribe. Yeah, um, we we appreciate any feedback y'all have, you know how to get a hold of us. Mark again has a little blurb. Um, if you hang in for the music on more details if you haven't heard it before. Um, so with that, uh, we are actually at the end of the show.
SPEAKER_01Oh, see, you told me it was 25 minutes. Yeah, you didn't believe me. You're like my mom. You you tell me the wrong time. What in in what con why would you do that?
unknownI don't know.
SPEAKER_01You just always ask her, you know, hey mom, what time is it? Oh, it's 11 o'clock and it was like 10 30 in the morning.
SPEAKER_02Did she do it on purpose?
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_02Why?
SPEAKER_01Mom.
SPEAKER_02Mean?
SPEAKER_01No, just mom.
SPEAKER_02Oh, my mom doesn't do that. No, well she actually does give me the wrong time because she can't read my clock. Which is not entirely her fault. I shouldn't say that. It's because it's wrong right now. So's the one over here by me. You have a clock? Oh yeah, you have that cool clock. Yeah. What does it say?
SPEAKER_01Uh 22, 25, and 42 seconds.
SPEAKER_02Oh, actually, it's right. It's just wrong in the same way that the other clock is.
SPEAKER_01Oh, so we gotta wait and wait till the time changed so it's right again.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Okay. So it's only technically wrong. So yeah. All right. Well, yes, this is the end of the show. Um, so it's been a real great time. Thanks for putting all of it on me. Um you're very welcome. Yes, sir. Uh I appreciate that. And suck it again on the zippo. Yeah. All right. Yep. We'll catch y'all later. Have a good one.
SPEAKER_01Hey, it's Mark here at Set and Centered. I just want to let everybody know that if they want to catch us on the socials, you can catch us at our webpage, setcenter.live, or on Facebook at Set Center Live. Uh, we'll maybe post some little stupid videos that we've done and stuff like that, and so we're gonna keep on going. And also we talk a lot about the animals here on the ranch, and we'll post pictures of them. We'll see how it goes and let us know. How we go.
SPEAKER_00Break time, yell it all unwind. Thousand dogs judging with that thousand-yard mind. Project list is long, but we'll get there soon. That's a lie, but it's a good tone. We said it's in a kind of sort of maybe held together by stubborn and a little crazy. You're still listening to one of the pack. Now back to the chaos. Here we go.
