Wedding Proposals, Live Music and Survival Techniques

it because that eliminates like having to call or like coordinate anything with any of her friends and i can just be like yo come by at this time like it'll be after we like i do it but we'll have a bash am i gonna need to edit some of this out no no no she well it's reason why is because i then later found out that when i was asking my guy about how long it would take, he goes, it's going to take more than four weeks. I was like, oh. So then I can't do it. Yeah.

I was like, well, there goes one idea out the window. Not the worst part. You were like, you definitely didn't propose on my birthday. Right. Did you black out? I don't know what's going on. Well, and that's like what so i told her this like i was like one of my ideas was going to be this upcoming weekend when all your friends are there but i won't have the ring in time and she goes well when would you have done that in the night i was like well i would have done that earlier in the night like

right when we things started happening so you do remember yeah that oh yeah, I got engaged. And we don't get into a fight and then I ask and you're like, go fuck yourself. Correct. Or like she somehow loses it because she's, because then once she's, if she would be engaged then at that time with her birthday and her friends, who knows where the slippery slope of. A sip of whiskey is always tough. I was trying to hold that in and listen to you talk. I'm like, Lord. Do you like bourbon? Yeah, I love it.

It's like the first two. The face tells the story. No, it's the first two sips, and then it's like, all right, this is water. That's true. Also, I'm exhausted, and usually when I'm drinking during the day, it's not just straight bourbon. Right. My body is like, this is not what you're supposed to be drinking right now. Right. When I texted you, I was like, I straight bourbon right i mean my body is like this is not what you're supposed to be drinking right now right i was when i texted you i was like i want bourbon bourbon's my

really go-to favorite drink i usually don't drink bourbon at four o'clock on a saturday no i actually not usually i never drink bourbon on a saturday or not on saturday but four o'clock that's why i like have this lined up i'm like like, we'll see how money I can do. Yeah. Just in case, just in case I have a Braxton's PBR from yesterday. Nice. Um, who's his Miller light and truly is, or just like a safe bet.

I think. Yeah. They're always here. Doesn't hurt to come stocked. So how does, so I was, the reason why I texted you to get on this podcast was. Oh, you're going to ask her on here?

No, that'd be, that'd be amazing. For me, not for her. Right. I mean. She's not even here. Well, you would have to delay bringing this out until like I give you the go ahead. I could do that. I could easily do that.

I mean, you could, but I don't think like she's too interested in like listening to how long. Yeah. To, hey, by the way. Can you listen to at least 45 minutes of this episode? Right. We talked about you for like two seconds of it, but those two seconds are really important. Yeah, but he also needs viewers and listeners

to make it through those 45 minutes. So at that 46 mark, then we can do it, just so you have to listen to what we have to talk about. Good Lord. That would be fun if you did. That would be... I can't decide what would be worse cody getting it tattooed on her body or you proposing to your girlfriend on here if this would just be a i don't know what would be happening i'd like why would that be worse and just like not worse but like just crazier

things that have happened i mean i heard that you're starting an only fans with, well, she has an only fans for her feet. Yeah. I heard about that, but any, so yeah, continue. Sorry. Initially I was listening to your,

um, tending list. Yeah. You're that podcast with Braxton, with Braxton. And I was like, I think it'd be fun. Just like shoot.

Like you and I, we have pretty good, it's easy talk. Yeah. We have good banter back and forth. And I'm just listening to this and all the stuff that you guys are saying. I was like, that sounds interesting. Fun to do. Just sit, talk about nothing.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And I actually made a list of things to talk about. Oh, fuck yes. You are more prepared for my show than I am. Do you know how many things I have on my list? If it's like two? It's one.

It's one? I made it on the way here just because I saw. So I went to the liquor store with this. And the thing I put in my phone was Wisconsin's weird. Yeah. Reason being, I came out of the store first guy i saw coming out of the store was in like short sleeves shorts and flip-flops all right i mean it's wisconsin spring it's 40 right it's 40 50 degrees okay second guy i saw was in a winter

coat jeans and boots so like which guy are you and which person do you want to be at this time of year? Because it's weird. Because you can be, like, the guy who's, like, I'm ready. I'm jumping in on spring. I'm putting all my winter clothes away. Whatever the weather is, this is what I'm wearing. Or are you, like, a late bloomer that I'm going to keep some clothes because I know what Wisconsin is? Well, I don't even own a winter coat that I'm going to keep some clothes because I know what Wisconsin is?

Well, I don't even own a winter coat. I'm a layers kind of guy. So it's like four spring coats. So I'm always ready for spring. I can't do layers. I'm like sweatshirt and then a coat over the sweatshirt. My winter outfit would be this with a spring coat over it. It could be negative 30.

I'm like, I'm bundled up. That's fair. Also, I'm fucking freezing. It doesn't work. Right. But, no, I'm definitely,

it warms up as soon as I can have nicer, like, less clothing on, the better. Right. For me. And then,

I mean, even then, I was, I had my windows rolled down today. Yeah, me too. So, I don't know which guy I am either

because I'm sweatpants, sweatshirt, like, I'm also a coke guy too. It depends on the day too because like, if it was sunny right now, I probably wouldn't have the sweatshirt like well it's all I'm also a day too cuz like okay too if it was sunny right now I probably wouldn't have the sweatshirt on it was like it's a huge difference with the Sun well it was I went golfing

earlier today and it was sunny all day yes and it was 50 it was like 50 52 with a slight breeze and I had a under armor and a pullover and pants, and I was fine. But, like, I was still, like, a little warm because of the sun. You're, like, you're in between do I take this Under Armour or do I – I'm always, like – I always have – golfing this time of year, it's shorts and, like, sweatpants like this. And by, like, hole eight, I'm at the start of every hole. I'm, like, I think next hole I'm taking the pants off. And then you get in the cart, and it's a little breezy, and you're, like, I think I'm good. And you get to the top, and you're, like, I think next hole I'm taking the pants off and then you get in the cart and it's a little breezy and you're like i think i'm good and you get the top

and you're like i think next time i'm taking my pants off it is it's the cart yeah the cart plays tricks on you because like you get the breeze and you're like oh shit it's kind of can i can you can i swear on this thing you can say whatever the fuck you want oh i don't care but like the cart plays deception on you because you get the breeze and you're like, all right, it's pretty cold. But then you're out there standing still then and you're like, okay, now I'm warm. What you need, remember those zip-away pants? Oh, yes. I definitely need to get those zip-away pants.

I got to find some that fit. You should post those on the golf course. I don't think I've – I haven't owned a pair of those. I remember thinking those things were the coolest things In the world You go to recess Yep That was when

Your parents would be like You're wearing pants You're past the school It's like I'm like But it's going to be warm later Like it's cold now Because parents are always like

Oh I'm not I'm not getting out of my car It's like well If you get into a car accident Have a sweatshirt kind of thing That's exactly how my parents were And so that's with the zip out pants Yeah so

When you get to recess You're like Fuck you parents I'm i'm here and you just unzip them it could be like 35 degrees but it's sunny don't care the sun is very warm here i think well wisconsin warm i guess whatever that is it it's deceiving again we're not used to seeing the sun so when we do see it it's like holy shit yeah you're like let this happen all the time i'm taking i want every part of my body to absorb this and that's i can't that's where i feel like most wisconsinites are yeah that once i mean april you're still kind of like iffy but may like i feel like once may hits and you see that first like sun mays may can be all the clothes all the winter clothes are packed away you are full on spring, summer, and you're all in.

To be honest, April, I think my clothes are kind of packed away. Once I started playing, like when sports started up again, like when I played lacrosse in high school, I was like, all right, spring's over. Or not spring's over. Winter's over. We just have cold spring days now. That's what it is.

Like it's spring, your shorts, shorts t-shirts long-sleeve sweatshirts until we're starting bonfire season kind of thing until winter 2.0 comes in and then then you get like a may 10th snowstorm and you want to put a bullet in your head oh god that was like school's about to end summer's coming it's like we just got two inches of snow yeah you're like oh it's also it's next day, and it's 70 degrees on the weekend, but what was the point of this? Yeah, why? I hated it. It's a very bipolar state when it comes to weather.

I agree. Absolutely. I mean, one, I don't know what. This was probably my sophomore year of high school. I went to prom with an upperclassman. We had all four seasons in one day on that prom day. It snowed. It rained. and then clear skies

like for summer and then it was like 50 out they're just like yeah you went spring winter summer fall it's just like why kind of a weird order but yeah yeah no it's it's interesting i saw i forgot there was some girl from my high school still on Snapchat. She was taking pictures outside her apartment. And it was like, I don't know where. I think I was in Denver a few weeks ago when this happened. I was like, check this out. It was snowing.

And it said 11 minutes ago. And then the next one, it said 11 minutes ago, but it was sunny. And then it said 10 minutes ago, and it was cloudy. And then it said 9 minutes ago, and it was sunny. was sunny i'm like what the fuck just happened here in milwaukee like how does that happen unless they were like she took them at separate times and uploaded them like one after the other which i don't think anyone i don't think is gonna think to do i'm like let's really fuck with someone today yeah uh who's not wisconsin exactly but but it's really show how but it's also it's it's true it happens so quickly and i mean i'm okay

with it when it's it snows and then it's gone by the weekend and i i can golf then like it snows monday four inches but by saturday like i'm in shorts right but when it's the other way around yeah it's like it's just on it's a tease from cold to hot i can do like when it's the other way around. Yeah. It's like, come on. It's a tease. From cold to hot, I can do. Like, when it's cold and then it's warm out. Drastically hot, yeah. But when it goes the other way, like, warm to, like, okay, now you've got my hopes up. Yeah.

And then you go to cold. Blue balls is basically what it is. Which. Common theme, I guess, on this fucking show. Jesus Christ. Nashville and blue balls. Talks about a lot on here. It's a...

Here's the seat. I have... I also do like... Do you prefer it on ice? I took a guess. So, there's... I've been a lot of different ways. Well, I mean, there's really only two ways you can drink this.

Either neat or on the rocks. Yeah. But, I've been back and forth. And then I got into a deep, dark hole on Facebook with videos, Facebook videos, just scrolling through. I'm glad someone else watches Facebook videos because I think Braxton made fun of me. He's like, why are you on Facebook so much? I'm like, well, it's kind of nice. They're longer form videos.

I don't post jack anything. Facebook for me is only remembering whose birthday it is just in case like if i need to say happy birthday to someone or and i usually don't click on that notification till like 10 o'clock at night i'm like holy shit well i've gotten to a routine like when i wake up by the time i i wake up it gives me that notification yeah whose birthday it is and then i can do it and then they can whatever mine too I just don't even click on it I have to I'm also have to get rid of all my notifications on my phone same I hate do you have to close all your tabs yep yep same yep it's always it's a little OCD but it's like I feel like it needs to be clean it has to be clean but so for Facebook

videos I mean you can get lost in those for hours. They don't end. They don't. You ever gotten to the end of one? No. I have. What time did you get that at? It just stopped. You just don't scroll anymore. I'm like, oh, shit.

And then what's awesome is the first video you click on, and then you go through that feed, when you get to the end and you're watching you're watching videos about snakes hatching their eggs, and you close it, and it started with a video of stand-up, you're like, how the fuck did I get here? Right. It's like, how does one recommended video lead to this, and lead to that, and lead to that?

I mean, I gave it a joke about snakes, but it could be a joke about ice cream, and all of a sudden I'm watching that guy that's building shit in the woods for 45 minutes. And then we've all seen that guy. Oh, the homeless guy. He doesn't look homeless. Not the homeless guy.

Oh, the caveman. I want to talk about this too. He has a very manly beard, like very outdoorsy. If Jason Momoa went and lived outside for the rest of his life. But he's not that big though. But he has the beard. Are we talking about white beard? I don't know.

I don't think we're talking about the same guy. All I've seen of this guy is people send him things to make, and one of them was a spoon or something that he absolutely hates making. It makes out like a gourd. Out of wood. He's always in a beanie with long hair and long beard. Yep. Yes.

I'm going to look him up right now. Caveman. I know it's a TikTok thing. I don't have TikTok, though. Yeah. And that's another thing that I can get lost into as well. This guy? Yeah, that guy.

No, okay, not Jason Momoa. Who's the guy that's married to Sofia Vergara? Nope. He was in Magic Mike. Haven't seen that yet either. You haven't seen Magic Mike? No. I saw Magic Mike.

Channing Tatum got me to see Magic Mike. I haven't seen it. I love movies. Channing Tatum is a celeb crush. Tell me, this could be the same person if he just let himself go. Yes. Joe

Who is that? Mangania I don't say that. Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia

Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Mangia Manjanillo Manjanillo He looks like That's who I think of Manjanillo Something Joe Good looking guy

Good looking guy Joe He looks just like Joe He does If Joe Let his hair go white And grew out his beard Yeah

That's exactly him And lived in the woods for To be honest They could be related Very much could be But that guy This was I brought

I had this like On my list of things and now I realize where you guys will offer your tangents because we started with whiskey or bourbon it's easy

it's so easy it's so easy I also like my mind goes everywhere but this that's why you and I are bad for this I would take screenshots

of stuff occasionally like I want to somehow work my way into this but I never want to bring it up unnaturally the fact that this came up naturally I'm so fucking excited right to somehow work my way into this, but I never want to bring it up unnaturally. The fact that this came up naturally, I'm so fucking excited right now. Let's go for it. What in your life drives you?

I think he truly enjoys what he's doing. Absolutely. You have to. And for people who don't know what it is, he legit will find rocks, go get not hay, but tall grass, and he has a blanket and his dog and put the the hay down then a blanket so the heat doesn't get absorbed from the ground blah blah he stays warm right like i've learned a decent amount of stuff showing you how to survive exactly but what drives you to go just start doing that because you know he i don't think he was raised

like that you look at bear grills even though he cheated because he'd get like granola bars snuck to him yeah but then there was also by the way who fucking cares right i got dropped on a mountain and it was like six inch six feet of snow i just want to give me a goddamn granola bar i just want to feel for the camera crew because they have to go through everything he does and don't have the skills correct so he's like surviving for three people yeah because he needs to find some food. Actually, can you imagine being Bear Grylls? And like, cause you know, they all have food and he's just like, he's like, no shit, no shit.

He's like, give me your granola bar. Like you fuck, it's been four fucking days. I've had bugs, bear shit and leaves. All right. Give me the chocolate chip out of your granola bar. I don't give a fuck. Did you see what I ate last week they're sitting there like they have a fire but like gasoline the light and shit like that he's sitting there just i'll be over here in my tent not even a tent not even a tent he just like builds like an igloo

and he's half naked yeah a little teepee but yeah what drives you to the point like i'm gonna go do that but there's then there's also that uh one other show on uh discovery channel um survivor man i don't know if you ever heard i've heard of it i think i've seen an episode so the difference between those two and i mean i don't i guess i don't know what this joe lookalike man yeah it's probably a really easy name to pronounce probably butchering very much um but survivor man so he actually survives for a week. He's dropped just like Bear, but he just survives, and they'll come pick him up. Is he the guy that moves his own cameras?

Yes. Okay. Then I know exactly what you're talking about. Bear has to... He's dropped, and then he has to go find civilization, I believe. Yeah. So Survivorman, he's literally out there by himself because he's moving the cameras yeah having to gain all of his food and everything like that so

i have no idea because there's not a chance in my world or realm that i'd be like yo fly me on a helicopter middle of nowhere drop me off i'll survive then find me yeah like why like you know where i am come get me i'll buy you a drink we can move on with our lives i can't imagine oh this happens all the time too say it go ahead say your line. What line? Good morning. Well, at least the car isn't there. Oh, you haven't listened to every episode then because the car starts just about every other episode. This is the longest he's taken to get back into the fucking house. You know why I purposely went this way?

Because I wanted water. We don't have it out of the faucet? He needs to make his guest appearance. Every time he just walks this way, he goes, morning. It could be 7 o'clock at night. Morning. Make t-shirts that just say morning in the back of Andrew's face or head. Where were we, though?

The first 10 or second 10? No, the – I still want to know because... What drives him? But one, I want to know what he did before he chose this. How often is he doing this? Like, is this a... He has a 9 to 5 on the weekends. He lives like this.

Like, this is his vacation. Like, some people go camping. He goes camping. Right. Just on the weekends. Or is he... Is this just how he lives i mean because he clearly has cameras internet i mean you can easily leave the backyard that

he's in or whatever and go to starbucks upload it and go i mean for him i don't feel like he's like necessarily i haven't seen his whole setup so i don't know if he's like actually has a camp or house whatever it is but i feel like with his videos they're more informative with if you are ever in the situation and you happen to stumble across my video this is what you can do in this situation if you ever find yourself i wouldn't say that's necessarily his intent i mean i think maybe initially it was now with people like hey can you make this can you make this because yes i can make this yes now it's just to show him your show whoever is skills yeah i mean how many people are in the middle of woods one that's the other thing too like these survival videos when people need them they can't access them like i don't know how

many people are like in the middle of the woods, let me get my phone real quick. Let me see this. Yeah, let me Google. Hey, this can of soup, I don't know how I'm going to eat it. I need to make a spoon out of a gourd real quick. If I could look all that up, I could have called my Uber out of here. That or looked up where I need to go. Exactly. Not, hey, I have this. You can pull up Google Maps and be like, I'm going right.

Yeah. That's it. Just take a right in 200 feet. Turn right. You passed the big red pine. You've gone too far. Please, Mickey, you turn. Dumb ass. Oh, Lord.

Back to the beginning. Yeah. Oh, what would we start with? Whiskey? Oh, yeah. Did you like ice cubes? Yes. And Facebook video.

Yeah, we move quickly um i've learned that through the facebook video that it is better to drink it on ice but it has to be a cube like this because then the water actually does something to the bourbon or whiskey to your choice to where it actually exfoliates i don't even know if that's the right word but it sounds right sounds like something with your skin but it could also be like just continue yeah whatever the taste like it enhances the taste when there's a little bit of water in it because i used to think drinking it on rocks was pretty much. Sacrilege because it would get watered down and not get in the full flavor. Which I guess to a point is if you've got a thing full of ice and an ounce of whiskey and it melts,

then yeah, you're drinking watered down. You're drinking water flavored. Correct. But if you have a cube as you do or as we do here, it tastes a lot better because then it's also chilled. Yeah, I agree. I like it chilled. I'm not a huge fan of room temperature or anything, drink-wise. I can do things like bourbon and whiskey room temp, but anything else other than that, no.

I can do it. I don't prefer it. Well, I don't know if it does. Does it also need to be a big ice cube so it doesn't melt as quickly where i feel like a smaller ice cube will be surrounded completely by the whiskey is going to melt super quickly and you're going to get water down way too quickly correct whereas a bigger ice cube it's kind of a slow burn yes slow melt slow melt that's a better word to put it. Probably. But I guess it is burning off. I mean, it's also burning your throat.

You get what I'm saying. I'm picking up what you're putting down. Hey, you want to go to a Packer game? Yeah, when? I don't know. Maybe I just give the season tickets to you and your fiance as a gift. I mean, hey, that'd be one hell of a gift. You guys can go watch Jordan Love play. He's three episodes in a row. I talked about jordan love or aaron rogers we don't need to get into that i mean i can but i just feel like there's so much else to talk about because i so

much more because i haven't espn's covered enough of it yes they have and so is the media and every other it's blown way out of proportion way out of proportion so i'm i was at this bottle while you're talking yeah i was thinking of on my way over here uh the last time i saw you or pretty much the last times we've been in contact the last time i saw you i'm pretty sure was last year when we went golfing yeah with sam and evan yep and then the time before that was at the umbrella bar was when sam you because then this was when you were telling me that you were going to pursue your comedy career yeah or something like that so yeah within these past two years we've only seen each other twice is that really true yes i haven't i guess to be honest not that i've been like a stickler i haven't been a stickler

at all during this pandemic when it comes to like distancing like i am the one of the poster children of what not to do during a pandemic uh you're sure you're just a poster child of what not to do in life no i'm having fun um it's all that matters but i think kind of when it hit and people did take it seriously right away, I didn't hang out with a lot of different people. I kind of just, I guess like a group just kind of formed and we just, this is who we're with. And then it was like a good way.

It was like 10, 12 people. Yeah. But my head's like, Oh, I'm only seeing these 12 people. I am still being okay. Which is not true because those 12 people go see 12 people or whatever.

And then you're done with it. I mean, there are a lot of people that I hadn't seen in forever. Like my buddy Connor from Madison, I just saw him for the first time in over a year two weekends ago. And one of my best friends in college. I finally was going down to Denver and went and saw him, how Cody, I mean, I figured I had to after she got a tattoo on her fucking ankle, but yeah.

I mean, that's dedication right there. I like the little tuxedo it has on kind of thing. Yeah. It's classy. It is classy. Is that wood around it? No, it's a copper. No, this part, this part's wood. Oh, that's classy. It is classy. Is that wood around it? No. It's copper. No, this part.

This part's wood. Oh. That's just like, I'm all for good presentation. I like the aesthetic. However, that's just got to be a bitch to do. Because that is some, I just touched it and it cracked. Like that's got to, I mean, feel that. Well, I felt it on the way here.

I don't, yeah, but you just said it was copper. This part I'm talking about. No shit, Sherlock. That's what you pointed to. No, I was touching the wood. This part. Okay. Yeah.

That has to be a bitch to put on. Well, they have machines. I'm sure that they wrap this because there's no way someone's going to be putting. Can you imagine if that was your job? What do you do for a living? I wrap really thin wood around basil hayden bottles and then i put a screw or a nail how is that on oh that has to be i don't know i mean it's impressive i like i like the aesthetic i don't think it's even on there like i think it's

just like uh on the outside it's not oh yeah do Do you try new whiskeys often? I try to. Do you buy them off the look of the bottle? You have to. You have to. Because there's no other way, unless if you're like... I don't know too much about it where I can be like, oh, this wood-soaked, charred, cherry-broiled... Right. I don't have a taste bud. I don't have a taste palette that I can taste like a hickory smoked whatever in the batch.

No, I can tell the difference between some of them. I can tell the difference, but I mean, when you drink it, and as you stated earlier, your first two sips, you're not going for taste. You're like, holy fuck. You're trying to get through to enjoy it. My first two sips are, is this smooth or is this going to hurt right away? Well, I mean, in most cases, it's going to hurt. Exactly. And then after that, you're like, oh, I kind of like this.

Yeah. But you're never – I almost kind of – I can semi-taste certain things sometimes. Like if it's so overpowering. I can't. I don't have a taste palette of that. But I'm not – I mean like if it was like a maple-flavored thing or whatever. But maple overpowers everything. Yeah.

The people who are like, this tastes like a hickory tree or I can taste the peel of an apple. I'm like, go fuck yourself. There is not a chance in hell. You're like, I got all of that out of this little sip. From this little sip. That's also watered down with this ice cube. Correct. You know what I got? chance in hell you're like i got all of that out of this little sip from this little sip that's also watered down with this ice cube correct you know what i got i got a little bit of water and a lot of it a burn and i like it that's what bourbon is that's what i like it burn um yeah i am the

same way with wine i did one wine tasting and in in Napa, too, where it was, like, super nice place, my buddy's family took us. And, like, swirled around, smell it. I'm like, wine. And they did the same bottle in a different glass. Like, can you taste the difference? I'm like, no. Can I have another breadstick? Well, I mean, was it from Olive Garden?

Yeah, I was doing the wine tasting at Olive Garden in Napa. I bet you that Olive Garden's got pretty good wine. Dude, those Olive Garden breadsticks slap, though. Are you an Olive Garden breadstick or a Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit guy? I hate that question because it's so hard. I honestly have to go to the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I think I'm going Cheddar Bay Biscuits, too. You have to.

They're so good. It's so light. So good. It's so good. It's so light. So light. It's so light. It's so fluffy. And I'm going to say the word moist. Yeah.

I think I could eat more of them too because the meal that's accompanying it isn't also all carbs. It's lighter. So it's seafood. It's kind of just like it's water protein. Yeah. Protein of the water and maybe like unless maybe you get like shrimp scampi so you have some noodles right but it's not olive garden where it's like oh we started with soup a really thick creamy soup like a bisque yep then i had this pasta dish that could feed a family of 12 and a salad that can't be the price salad that has half a wedge of Parmesan on it.

No wonder they let you do endless breadsticks. You're going to have three and you're like, good Lord, I'm going to pop. Yeah. I think that plays a big difference into it with the meal that's accompanied it. And they know that. It's a meal you're super full. That's why they even let you, like, do you guys want to take a few home? Yeah.

That's the other thing, too. And then they give you the chocolate. Then they give you the chocolate mints. The it's a meal you're super full. That's why they even let you like, do you guys want to take a few home? Yeah. That's the other thing too. And then they give you the chocolate. Then they give you the chocolate. The Andy's candies. Yep. Those are so good. I wish those were bigger. I feel like you could get bigger ones.

They have to make bigger ones. I don't know. Why wouldn't they? I don't know. Maybe because. I'll get you one for your birthday. Maybe it's like the. How long do I have until your birthday?

You know how things are like slightly salty or just sugary? Like kettle corn is just sugary enough that you're like, I really like this. Kettle corn's sugary? Yeah. Isn't kettle corn salty? Kettle corn's sweet. Sweet and salty. But it's just sweet enough that you're like, I kind of want more.

Like I didn't get enough sweet. Like a piece of candy. You have a piece of candy like a Snicker bar. I'm sugared up. I didn't get enough sweet. Like a piece of candy. You have a piece of candy, like a Snicker bar. I'm sugared up. I'm good. But it was just sweet enough that give me more. More than you keep eating them. I have that with chips because it's salty for me.

I mean, chips are salty. But you get that saltiness. You drink whatever you drink, and then you just keep going. And the next thing you know, you're at the bottom of the bag. You're like, where did that bag go? Yeah, that was a fresh sip right there. Put some hair in your chest. Well, that's a – I don't need any more hair on my chest.

But that's why when you go to a bar, food is – like fries tend to be saltier. It's saltier, fattier foods because they make you thirstier right i mean it's not exactly why like they're serving food because people want to eat food while they're drinking that's very encouraging but like when you drink you get hungry you get hungry you get thirsty and it's just like uh all of a sudden it's like i have a 200 bill yeah you're like wow like wow i came here for one beer and i think that never happens never oh i did it last night i went to you had one beer yeah not the whole night but at a restaurant yeah oh well i'm talking so yeah what are you talking about i'll let you go with your story and there's not really a story like after braxton i recorded last night and then we went to uh

point burger bar just down the street. Yep. Got apps and a burger or apps and a burger, apps and a beer. And we each had a beer and we left. I'm like, that was actually kind of perfect. That's, that's respectable enough to where, I mean, I can do a beer for dinner or like a meal. I'm saying more so when my girlfriend says, I'm going there just for a drink.

Come out. Like we'll just say, we going there just for a drink. Come out. Like, we'll just stay. Oh, it's never just one. We'll just stay for one drink. I always follow that up with, it's never one drink. Yeah. I know I'll be there for the next three hours.

And it'll be like six and I'm going to be a little buzz coming home. And then she never wants to leave. Yeah. That was tough for me last night having to leave the bar. Like, everyone's like, let's have a good night, blah, blah, blah.

I'm like, I got to be up at 6. What did you do there? Oh, you had lacrosse. Yeah, so thankfully the games were overlapping, so I could just pick one of the teams. There were technically six games that happened today. I only had to coach three, but they're in Kettle Moraine, so it's 30 minutes away.

Who are you coaching? Franklin. Oh, high school? The youth, so the club, so what we started. So it's 30 minutes away who you coaching franklin oh the youth the youth so the club so like what we started so it's kind of cool um and so i was like yeah they're all like do you want another drink you want a drink i'm like no i need to drive like i'm never the person i'm usually like your girlfriend i'm like why why do we need like let's have as much fun as we can like who cares like do you really have anything to do tomorrow and i finally had an answer to that question yes i do yeah and so i was like i i just i had two beers there and i it's tough

being responsible yeah that that might be one of the more responsible things i've done it's tough being responsible and growing older thinking like now for me when i drink, I mean, I guess I can't really say that because when I drink, I don't really get hung over. I don't either. Hell yes. I can. And Andrea is probably the worst hangovers in the world. Healing the next day. I'm always trying to not drink as much because I also know I have to take care of Andrea and look after her.

And then also like I have to get us home. So I'm whenever I'm out with her friends, I let her have all the fun. But also in the same sense, I want to go. Yeah. When I want to go, I want to go. Oh, yeah. When you're not having fun, the worst thing to do is be like, fuck. But it's not even that. I'll sit there because it's usually at the bar,

and I'll watch whatever SportsCenter rerun is on for my time, for filling, whatever. And I'll talk to her friends and all that is. But it's more so around 1, two o'clock area in the morning good god yeah i'd be like let's fucking go if you're sober two o'clock in the morning is the worst hour to be sober i'm sorry mom i'm not fully sober yeah during this time either i'm below my limit yeah i know i know I'm below my limit. I know I'm below my limit. Because I know I have to drive home. I know where I can and what I can't do.

I know that enough. But it's just. And then you see her just like going, going, going. And you're like damn I want to do that. But I can't. I could. We can Uber home. But then I got to Uber back to get my car.

Then that is just a big-ass headache. That's the last thing you want to do is when you get up in the morning, have to go do something right away. Yep. Which is something I recommend people who do get hung over, is if you want to get – not necessarily get rid of it, but if you want to be – Yeah, a bigger ice cube.

I'll go get you one in a second. I'll just – actually, I'll text Andrew. He'll bring him down. He needs to make another guest appearance. Yep. My recommendation to people who do get hungover is. Five already? Dude, this goes quick.

It's fun and enjoyable. I have to cut us off at like an hour and a half because I just don't want to edit it. I mean. It sucks. We could still hang out. We'll just turn these off. Well, that's what I was saying. Between you and I. I'm not going want to edit it. I mean. It sucks. We could still hang out. We'll just turn these off. Well, that's what I was saying. Like, between you and I.

I'm not going to kick you out. I don't know with what your other guests are, but you and I, we could just talk. Oh, yeah. No, all of them. I'm like, I'll get to a point where I'll look at this. And be like. Like, if I go over an hour, I'm like, I start to get. I'll watch it a little more. Like, the beginning, I'm not watching now. We still have like probably 15 minutes before we over an hour, I'm like, I start to get, I'll watch it a little more. Like the beginning, I'm not watching now.

We still have like probably 15 minutes before we hit an hour. This does go quick though. So quick, yeah. Like it feels like we've been talking for 20 minutes. It does. It's been 45. I know. What do you think like those Joe Rogan ones go four hours?

When you're actually talking to someone who has like legit things, not that we don't have legit things to talk about, but people who study a certain thing and they're so passionate about it. No shit. Those episodes are three hours long. Some people hate that. I like it. I've never personally listened to the podcast, Joe Rogan's, but I know it's, I know who Joe Rogan is.

I know like what he did and what he does now. But I've just never listened to one. But I can just imagine. It's like we all have guys who are quote-unquote experts on UFOs, aliens, people who lost civilizations, doctors, and whatever mood. I like it, and I didn't get into it until my last semester of college. And then I'm going to circle back to my advice to people who get hungover. Yes. Drink water.

But not even that. Yeah, drink water, sleep, smoke before you go to bed. Or smoke in the morning. True. But, yeah, just everyone, whatever mood you're in, I kind of want to hear about aliens today. I want to know it. And it's someone who's like a quote-unquote expert.

I'm like, oh, this is interesting. I don't want it to end i mean it helps also when joe just gets absolutely baked and roasted toasted out of his mind that he can just take all this information and just stare at him like oh yeah oh you know he doesn't do that every episode right no i don't yeah that would be amazing if he did it's like once in a while he's like not trash but like there's like two two or three people i'm pretty sure he just he'll get baked on. They wear like astronaut suits. I feel like you talk about aliens. I love talking about aliens.

Dude, outer space. I love talking about aliens. Outer space and deep sea. Like the fact that we haven't explored X percentage of our sea, we have no idea what's living below us. Brax, should I talk about this on Tending a List? Deep sea is way scarier than outer space to me i thought you guys were done with tending a list we are but like in one of the episodes we talked about what's scarier deep sea or deep space and we're both like deep sea because it's a possibility for us i could tomorrow go be in the middle of the ocean yeah space tomorrow i cannot be in the middle of space

true and i don't know anything that's in that i mean that's so scary like i can't i could be in it and i still can't see the water can be here i'm like i can't see down right i don't like that i mean i would i would contest deep or outer space space, just because it's infinite. When you have the sea, you know you're going to hit bottom at one point or discover. Oh, you'll never know. You're not going to make it to the bottom. Well, you have to. Well, yeah, but you won't be alive.

That's not the point. Well, I mean, but then you never actually hit the bottom, do you? I'm saying, essentially, you're going to run out of room to explore. True. The space, infinite. You have no idea, I mean, how many galaxies and all that other stuff. See, to me, that's more interesting

rather than scary. Okay, that's fair. It's, to me, because it's scary, the water's scary because we've been here for so long. And we still don't know. So many is scary because we've been here for so long. And we still don't know. So many people. And we still have no fucking clue.

Yeah. That's fair. And we have access to it. We don't have access to everything up, out, wherever. That's fair. That's valid. Those of you who get hungover, just get up and do something. Dead serious.

Wow. That just popped back into my head. How do you get up and do something though that's the last thing you want to do i know that's the point so if you get up and just wallow in your self-pity it just amplifies that you feel all you do is if you're thinking about headache if you're thinking about throwing up it's like people who can talk like i can talk yourself into getting sick or you talk yourself like you WebMD yourself. You're like, oh, my God, I have a kidney failure.

It's like, no, you broke a nail. I didn't get to talk about this. Oh, we will. That's gross. I don't like that. Put that away. But if you could just get up and go do something, it doesn't have to be workout. Like if you're hungover, get up, make breakfast. If you can eat or get up, go do something. It doesn't have to be workout. If you're hungover, get up, make breakfast.

If you can eat or get up, go grocery shopping. Go grocery shopping. Go get food that you know you're going to want later. If you get up and just start moving and you're not thinking that you're hungover, it definitely decreases the intensity of it because you're not

thinking about it all the time. If you just get up, what if you go to bed thinking, I'm going to hate myself in the morning. You're definitely going to wake up hating yourself. Are you hating yourself in the morning for how much you drank or for possibly what you've done that night? It could be both because I feel like definitely take your mind off what you did last night and go do a workout class. Well,

throw up all your demons. Yeah. I hate throwing up. I love it at the same time. I can't tell you the last time i threw up i can't uh kind of i dry heaved because there was nothing in me it was just my body like dude you did something wrong we think something should leave but there's nothing in you we got to get something out something's gotta go like if it if it's like just the dead air that's inside you it's

coming out and i just said like oh it was uh it's like three months ago and i'm a compulsive vomiter so like explain that one if i hear or see you throw up oh okay you'll do it too i have weak stomach for that i have a strong stomach for most things so it's like a domino effect for you here you get like if you hear someone gag, you're like, oh, as well. I can kind of. So like when I was with roommates and I would hear them in the bathroom, I would have to close. Well, I wouldn't even have to close my door.

I would leave. Like leave my apartment because I couldn't stand or hear, listen or anything. Now, is it when you're also like, I'm guessing they're throwing up cause they're drunk. So you're also drunk. So you know,

so you, okay. So you're like, that's a possibility. Not hung over, but like I was drinking the night before. Yeah. So you're like,

that could have been a, that could be a possibility for me. Could be me, but it's not, it's not. We don't want it to be me. I don't want it to be me i don't want it to be me but also just like if someone for whatever reason like has a stomach bug yeah

it's part of the appeal to this it definitely is um but like if someone someone has a stomach bug and just for whatever reason is just hurling in the bathroom. Cause they're sick. If I walk by that bathroom, like just walk, happen to walk by. And I hear who, like I will, even if you're sober and didn't eat what they eat, even if I sober,

see that one. If I, I can't do puke. I can't. If someone had like, if like someone and I, someone else and I, you and I ate the same food and then you started throwing up and you're like,

it's definitely cause of the tacos we just ate. And I heard you throw up. I would then start talking myself into like you ate bad food too. You're going to start through. Yeah. But if you had tacos and I had like Chick-fil-A and I heard you throw up, it'd be like, Oh,

sucks for you. Like I wouldn't care. I would, I would honestly think it's funny. Well, as you should. Yeah. Well,

so segue again. Yeah. Well, so segue again. Yeah. When, for my friends, and I think this is for most guys, whenever we get hurt, it's funny at first, but then you always have to, like, make sure it's okay. Like, they're okay. It's a hot, oh, fuck. Yeah, it's like hot.

Are you okay? You're good. You're good. It's funny. But, like, if they're, like, it's like, ha, are you okay? You're good. You're good. It's funny. But if they're a little bit more injured, you're like, well, that takes the funny away from it. Yeah. I don't think we overreact. If we notice it's serious, we're like, I guess sometimes we can overreact.

I think the initial reaction is to laugh it off because you don't want to know what happened exactly. You don't want to assume the worst. Exactly, yeah. And then once you realize what it is, it's snap into action. Whatever needs to happen, happens. We need to get that shit done. True. In action, let's go hospital.

I think that's where I would say an overreaction could be. If we know it's not laughable, but we know we don't know what it is. Like it's semi-serious. We could be like, Oh, you have a broken toe. Get him to the ER now.

Right. Whereas like we could have just like get in the car, go to a walk-in kind of thing. Yeah. Like we'll take you to the ER with a broken toe or like a lacerated neck. Like either one where it's, you get my, yeah. But you're like, are you sure? You sure? I mean, either one where it's you get my yeah but you're like lacerate are you sure you sure i mean you're it's i mean doesn't seem that i mean you're only gushing i mean i guess

that's what i can say about yeah let's talk about the hole in your thumb can i okay i gotta see it it's not a hole but it looks like a drill bit went through your thumb. Can I show you camera? Oh, good Lord, yeah. I have to see it. I have to see it. Oh, yeah. Oh, I thought you said, can I show you on the camera? Like, you had something that happened.

No, I mean, I do have pictures of it, though. I don't even think that'll do it justice. Well, so we... I'm living with my girlfriend. So we moved into an apartment, not an apartment, a house in South Milwaukee. Okay. Our upstairs, it was an unfinished attic. We turned it and are turning it into a living space where there's another bedroom. And then there's another hangout space where I'm putting my bar, TV,

where pretty much i'm gonna hang out whenever i have friends over and all that yeah yeah yeah but it's it's not like a dingy attic like yeah it looks really nice like i'll i'll have you over because we're planning on having a like a huge pretty much welcome event like for us like housewarming party have you been living in that house for a while well we have but it hasn't like remodeled it completely correct okay and who wants to have a housewarming party in winter because we also have a patio yard and oh yeah oh for sure for sure so i was upstairs with one of my other buddies and we were putting our floor in it's laminate floor uh so you can cut it with with a utility knife it was on the last row of what we were going to do for the night

because then we were just going to go to a bar and i cut the piece to fat so i had to trim it down so what i did stupidly was i spun the piece around and I cut it on the thin side so I was holding the thin side oh so when I cut it I cut down it came out of the the flooring and caught the rest of my finger what were you cutting it with utility knife a utility knife and it was and it was a fresh blade too because those are sharp as fuck so I didn't feel it go through. But her dad's a carpenter who I wasn't doing this with, but he always stressed to me whenever you're working with a utility knife, make sure it's a fresh, sharp blade so it cuts easier.

It cut pretty easy. So when this happened, I immediately – I felt it go through. I dropped my knife. I squeezed my thumb because I didn't look. Yeah, I wouldn't want to. I didn't know if I just got it on the side, top, like a little cut or whatever. That's when you come out of shock is when you see it. Well, I'm not at that point yet.

So I went like this just to see how bad it was, and it squirted a little bit. So then I stuck my thumb in my mouth because that was my immediate reaction because I didn't have anything to – i don't have a towel or anything so i stuck it in my mouth and then my buddy austin got a towel handed to me put my put the towel over my thumb and then went downstairs andrew was downstairs i was like you need to take a look at this like i think we we need we might need to go to the hospital. It squirted blood. I would have been at the hospital already. Well, the thing was, as we're walking down the steps,

my friend goes, you got any bandages? I was like, I don't know. I mean, I know I have bandages, but again, I don't know how bad it is. Like, yes, you can squirt blood. I don't know still how bad it is. Went into then my car, to which I thought I had like some like butterfly stitches. Okay. Like that I

could possibly put on yeah that I could possibly put on and didn't find my first aid kit so then we went to the house and that's when like we're like alright like how bad is it like yeah is this like a haha or oh shit you lacerated your neck into the house yeah we gotta go so well I got a text from our ice cube, sorry. Just remember that. So while the cloth was on, I kind of peeled it off and it was stuck then to the blood

on the one side of the thumb. So that's when the cloth came off and the thumb kind of peeled apart. Oh. That is when I came out of my adrenaline you watch your thumb just open up a little bit like this part right here that's on the top that's when i just do this and pass the fuck out as soon as i saw that because i saw like through what with what i know i shouldn't see as far as like inside and i have pictures if you want to see that later i do but i don't i do but i don't

that's fair did you see bone didn't see bone missed the bone so that was the best part that i missed the bone um but i saw that and that's immediately when my head started to go fuzzy so i was like boom my body now realized what happened because now my adrenaline's gone i mean it's still there but it's like your thumb throbbing then it was yeah and then that's when my head started to go fuzzy i was like i need to sit down because i'm about to pass out so then sat down and then trying to get to the car i was just like drunk like stumbling in and out like hitting our fridge hitting our wall trying to get into the car by the time i got into the car maybe we we went to the Cudahy ER,

which was maybe seven minutes away, which is good. But by the time I got into the car then, I was like, okay, everything's happening. You understand what's happening. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. Ice delivery.

Right on time. Right on time. It doesn't hurt, but I know things are bad. Thanks, buddy. All of them? Thanks, man. You're good. Thanks, appreciate it. I'll let you know if you bad. Thanks, buddy. You're good. Thanks. Appreciate it.

I'll let you know if you need anything else. Thank you, sir. We'll just leave those there. So I got to the hospital then six stitches later. I was going to ask. Stitches, are they glued? So they stitched it

and then they put some numbing agency right on the base of my thumb, which hurt the most. Really? Because those needles were so, like, it killed. Oh, I know. I got a story kind of like this. And then the doctor started moving this gel, and I can feel it around my thumb. So he went around the bone to numb all the nerve endings up there.

And then she came back and cleaned it, and I was like, should I feel you squirting water on my thumb? She goes, no. So the doctor came back in, numbed me even more, which hurt even more, because then this time he went on this side, which is what that little mark is, and he got, like, right on my bone. This is a needle going in? Okay, yeah.

So, like, right on my bone. So now at first i would like rotate my hand i can feel like a shooting pain like all up through my forearm and through my thumb but now it's like it's gotten a lot better yeah but that part hurt the most other than like obviously the knife going through your fucking thumb i didn't feel it though yeah and one of my buddies like i didn't think of it at this point but my thumbnail probably saved most of my buddies, like, I didn't think of it at this point, but my thumbnail probably saved most of my finger. True, yeah. Because, I mean, I was like, damn, that, like.

That went deep into your thumb. It went pretty good. If your thumbnail's not gone. Like, I mean, that's, like, who can't see? Like, the entire, you probably have 80% of your thumbnail. I would say 65 to 70 is more accurate. Dude, adrenaline's a hell of a drug It is

And it snaps in Right away Your body knows Hey you don't want to feel this You might do some dumb shit real quick But you don't want to feel You have more priorities that you should be dealing with Exactly

I think it's going into high school I hit my buddy with a pillow I think it's going into high school. I hit my buddy with a pillow. It was basically like I split my head open over a pillow fight kind of thing. And he grabbed me and my head like this. Oh, I thought you meant like you busted your head from a pillow. But like he grabbed me like. And my head is down. And he just falls backwards into the couch. And the metal frame of the couch, like, right underneath the cushion where you sit, is where my head hits.

And I'm like, I mean, I go right at it. Like, concussed five shirt. Like, 100%. And I come up, I'm like, holy shit. And one of the other guys that we're with goes holy shit you have a gash in your head i go what and my plenty of forehead i go straight into my fucking hole i go what and i my finger goes in slightly. I missed my skull, I'm pretty sure, by like that much. Shit. And my finger goes in, and all that came out of my mouth was,

get your mom, get your mom, get your mom, get your mom, get your mom. I ran up to their parents' bedroom. I just freaked the fuck out. I'm like, oh, I'm just like, I think I have a headache and whatnot. I don't feel it really. My mom gets called. I don't really feel it i'm still in shock i then waited in the emergency room for like two to three hours they're like what's your

emergency i took the ice pack off like i have a hole in my head they go hello go sit in the waiting room i'm like are you serious behind which is also like kind of crazy like you're gonna be fine kind of thing because it was just like it wasn't like because they're think about it like between your skin and your skull isn't that much right but it's split open yeah um and i'm thinking i have a hole in my head like i'm i'm gonna not die but i'm like this is ridiculous yeah but it wasn't until like i don't think i ever really came out of shock and i never felt my head split open it bleed at all incredible what adrenaline is but speaking to your numbing thing i remember because usually when you get numb especially when you have like uh like oral surgery um you kind of can feel the pressure i have my

wisdom teeth out and same thing i just got them out like you can feel the pressure i could smell the drill burning on my teeth because they're impacted and they have to break them apart, which is real alarming. You're like, I should not smell burning inside my mouth. I should not be feeling this. You should not be smelling burning from inside of my body. Because, I mean, people go under, under. You hear a drill and then it goes in. Yeah, it's crazy.

People go under, under, but I just got the gas. It's crazy. People go under, under, but I just got the gas. But yeah, they numb me, and it didn't hurt that bad, but when they started the last couple stitches, I'm like, you definitely didn't numb me enough. Same. Because I'm like, I felt like that was more than pressure.

Same. That was a poke, and you are in my head right now. But, I mean, huge difference between forehead and thumb with being where it is but i was like i shouldn't feel that through these last stitches i was like it was it was kind of like you were getting a shock yeah yeah but i didn't want him to come back and numb me because i was more afraid of that and so that's why i i didn't want. It's tough. To doctors' credit, though, I mean, they don't know how much you're numbed. Correct. I mean, it's not like, all right, they can feel what you can't feel. Well, and then also, like, what else could you possibly be on if you were not?

Like, not to assume that you're not sober. Yeah. I was not. I wasn't drunk, but we had two beers while we were putting the floor down. Yeah. Because you're just going back and forth. I was in eighth grade, so I was not I wasn't drunk But we had two beers While we were putting the floor down Yeah You were just going back and forth I was in 8th grade So I was definitely sober

Well you Definitely could have been Yeah But I mean To people And then pain tolerance too Yeah He has no idea what your pain tolerance is

But then I was like expecting Like some like hard Stuff to like numb the pain And he goes Here's a Antibiotic And take some Tylenol When you get home I look at my thumb stuff to numb the pain. He goes, here's a antibiotic and take some Tylenol when you get home. I look at

my thumb. It's like, that's all that this is worth? He's like, this thing looks like it's about to fall off. He's like, yeah, otherwise you'll be good. I was like, alright, sweet. And then, well, the worst part about that was my first few days

I had a cast put on my thumb. Really? Across the full thumb forearm. Like that white plastic one with whatever wraps? Half a forearm, and then they wrapped it. And so just the mobility of that. The first night I tried to have salsa and chips and salsa, couldn't open the salsa can or the container. Not even with your other hand

because well when i would go like this you don't have a lot of pressure it would just turn that is too true because like you're here and just even doing this i felt uncomfortable and so then andrea got home and she saw the salsa on the counter and she goes why is the salsa on the counter i was like well i can't open i wanted salsa and chips but i only only had chips. Couldn't open the salsa. She goes, do you want me to open it? I was like, it's too late now. Yeah, it's a little late now. I had the entire bag of chips.

They were salty. Yes. It's terrible how that happened. That's unfortunate. I mean, how long ago was that? This was, I think this is going on three weeks. Well, that's healed decently well then. It has. And I mean, just the fact that on this

past wednesday i played softball didn't feel anything like any pain with it nasty scab yeah like that's one like i definitely picked scabs when i was younger you cannot pick that one hardest thing to do right and it's right there it's on your picking thumb too well so this i can like peel back a little bit. Don't. Not in front of me. I don't want to. But then also this part, this is like kind of like excess skin. So I can also like kind of like flip this, but not much because it's still hard.

But I want it all to heal. So that is my biggest thing. And you want it to heal cleanly too. Because with mosquito bites, I scratch the shit out of mosquito bites and then it's scab. Because with mosquito bites, I scratch the shit out of mosquito bites and then it scab. I find, I don't know why, but I find it, I want to say, entertaining. Satisfying. Satisfying to pick then that scabbed mosquito bite and let it bleed.

Yeah. You're not alone. You are not alone. Even if I fell on my bike and you get a scab on your knee and you're doing this. Once it starts, you to like finish it yeah because there's no point of like being halfway and just trying to put it down yeah like oh no it's just like a flap in the wind you're running and you feel it just rip it the fuck off that's the worst part like when it's just like like just sticks up and you're like do i rip it or do i try to push it down so i try to push it down a few times and then also once you bring it off it's not doing it and then it gets worse so then at that point i'm just like i uh i've been the person who is like i've had a scab like the size of a silver dollar or whatever then you like peel it all but like to where it's hanging

by a thread and i go it's not off it's still healing yep i'm like no michael it's off nope now it's off i'm like no it's still there and i'm like like no that's that's not off it's still healing yep i'm like no michael it's off nope now it's off i'm like no it's still there and i'm like like no that's that's definitely off maybe it's gonna maybe maybe if i put it back down it will like reattach the skin or something if anything you're repeating it from healing again yep and you just rip it you just literally rip the band-aid off just get it off if you had to guess what time we're at what do you think we're at i'm going to probably say like an hour because it's been longer than 15 minutes when i last looked i probably say like we're an hour 10 hour 15 we are 59 minutes and 40 seconds really yeah okay i think once this part didn't go as like once, once you mentioned a time and it's like,

Oh, the last little bit to take longer. Well, it's just like, it's just like when you look at the clock when we were in school and you're like only five minutes went by. Are you shitting me? No.

Yeah. It is worse. I was like, Holy shit. I only have 30 minutes left. And then I was like, Oh, so class is going quick.

And you, you think next time you look at the clock, it's going to be as fast. Like, minutes went by like that was fucking yeah that was terrible that was i'm gonna tell you i want to get a few teachers now i really just want dead black on here i think dead black would be fun never you remember him i remember him i never had him because he was woods wasn't he? Woods Construction. Woods Construction. He'd be fun. He only has one leg now, so I might have to get him a different chair.

What's wrong with that? Do you think that's how he would sit? Well, depending on how his leg is. This is going to look great. I think he'd get here and then maybe hold up like this. Well, how much of a leg does he have left? I don't know. I just heard he had some amputation. Because, I mean, if it's like full leg, he can just.

I really want to see. He could. And I'd never had him, so I already feel bad for talking like this. But, I mean, if he had like a little nub like up here, he could just like rest it on the stool. True. But. It's just kind of hanging off., a little nub, like, up here, he could just, like, rest it on the stool. True. But. It's just kind of hanging off. I got to stop talking.

Oh, good Lord. Doug Black, please come on the show. I would have two teachers that I would want on a podcast with me. Let me guess. Dreyer and Nershaw. No. Nettishime. Nettishime.

Nettishime B. English teacher. Yeah, I remember Nettishime. Nettishime. Nettishime B. English teacher. Yeah, I remember Nettishime. Yep. Nedward, I called him. I'm trying to remember other teachers. I mean, Dreyer for sure would be fun. Dreyer would be fun.

Dreyer would be fantastic. I don't really know. But those would be my two teachers that I just had. Or Thone. I am looking forward to finally like, just not doing all Franklin people. Yeah,

so how, which I haven't, to be honest, you are the second one. And that's just because I texted you. Yeah,

which I like though. I kind of like that people like, that, the week you texted me, I had like three other people be like, oh, you should let me on.

Like, there's a difference. The way, either way you were going to come on, it's just a matter of getting to certain people. But the way you said it was like, you're like, I want in. I was like, deal. Done deal. We're making it happen. And one, you also didn't believe me that I actually wanted you on.

Like I legit did. Also didn't believe me that I actually wanted you on. Like I legit did. I, I mean, I, I, I had like a feeling that you would just because of like what we,

like our friendship and going back. But I just thought you were too big time for me, Mr. Podcaster in a garage. Oh, time for my ice cube. Um, sometimes you have just like a big sip and you're like, I wasn't expecting that.

Well, that's the thing that keeps you on your toes. I know. I love it. Bourbon's nice because the nice part – hold on. Before I get on to another tangent, what were we just talking about? Oh, having you on. Oh, me. The difference between the way you ask other people.

I... You just have to be assertive when you want to be on a show. Well, you're just like, I want in. Which makes me excited to have you on because you genuinely want to be on. I think you have stuff you want to talk about versus someone who goes, you should let me on just because I think this would be a fun thing to do Saturday night. I mean, I thought it was a fun thing too. Like, I'm clearly taking this seriously with everything here. And so when people are like, I want in.

Like, oh, I'm going to get something good out of this. And obviously genuinely just enjoy hanging out with you. Right. The random people are like, oh, you should let me on. Like, go fuck yourself. I don't. I'm not going to let you on because like, oh, I think it'd be cool if I was on here. I'm like, I don't think it'd be cool if you're on here because one, I don't know you.

Two, I think you're boring. Three, you definitely suck. And four, you can't talk for shit. Well, and then my, my Andrea's mom asked me, so she was like, well, what are you doing today? Like, yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, I'm after golf and going on a podcast. She goes, what are you going to talk about on a podcast? Literally anything.

I have no fucking idea. That's what I like about this is you have nothing scripted. It's all about what someone could bring to you. If they've listened, you know to possibly bring a list or one item on a list and then talk about that but i'm getting better at it the beginning sucked but well you just don't know where to start like what what do people want to listen to like what do people want to talk about but when you have other people and you're going through this weekly by with different people everyone brings a

different element yeah and eventually like with i what i like having new people is eventually when people have like real serious professions like i can just talk to you for an hour about you like if you were a chef i would literally just talk about cooking for an hour and i'd be fine with that oh by the way are you employed um yes and no and yes and it's i'll explain afterwards but i was listening to your uh other tending list with your oh the uh with your uh the sales call or the sales yeah it's uh that was hands i mean that's a bit for sure like it's it's like a 15 minute bit but it's imagine that was the most insane, insane, not insane three days, but just like eye opening. I never want to do this.

Like I hate 90% of the sales people. Not to bring that up again, but. No, you're fine. Like it's been a long enough, but sales people, I actually ran into a sales person. I mean, you run into salespeople all the time i was in target and i was asking like the electronics people for something and are we in the fucking hunger games right now did you hear that that sounded like an emu i heard is that like when they do like the

okay well my add dude that sounded like an emu though i don't even know what sounds emu makes but that sounded like an emu i have no clue what an emo makes it sounded like they just said emu we keep doing it there you keep doing it back like dory from finding emo trying to speak whale you don't speak whale but uh where was i oh yeah this sales guy in target and i see i'm like waiting for this i'm waiting for uh the lady to get back with what i needed and i'm watching the sales guy trying to sell you know the people when you go to like costco or sam's club they're trying to sell you a service provider or like do you have spectrum blah, blah, blah, blah. It's this guy.

I haven't seen one of these in Target before. I'm like, this is new. And he gets a hold of this older lady. That sounds a bad way to put it. He gets a hold of her. He entraps her. That doesn't sound better either. He starts talking to her.

That's better. And she falls for it kind of thing. That's better. And he's like doing his spiel. And partly because I, you see, I've seen it all the time. And now I also know firsthand,

like kind of the behind the scenes of just the bullshit, the sales thing. And I knew that it's a lot of his bullshit, but, um, and there's, there are some very good salesmen, but I'm sitting there and I go,

I'm going to be here long enough waiting where he's going to get done talking her and he's gonna come over to me and i know it and i'm i was irrationally mad knowing that he might come over that's what it was and i was so mad i'm like oh god here we go if he comes over to me i'm like i'm gonna be a dick and i probably didn't deserve what i said but at the same time i don't't, I hate you. Like I don't want to talk to you right now. And if I tell you I'm not interested right away, don't try again. Right? So he comes up to me, I go, here we go. I'm sitting next to my car, bring it on. And he goes, uh, you, uh, are you happy with your cell phone provider? I go, yes, not interested. Thinking, I'm like, I am satisfied, and I'm not interested in what you're about to sell me.

That's all it should be. He goes, who do you have? I'm like, what? And he goes, how much are you paying for your phone bill? I go, I don't know. And I'm like, he goes, what do you mean you don't know? I'm like, I don't know. I don't really look at it.

And I just pay it online. It's like auto pay. I should just pay my mom. I just Venmo her or whatever. And he goes, what do you pay for? Do you have HBO Max and Disney Plus? I go, I have all of them. He goes, what do you pay for them?

I go, they're actually free with my cell phone bill. He goes, who's your cell phone provider? I'm like, we just went over this. I'm like, Verizon. He goes, that's a really good deal. What kind of like, do you think you have spectrum? I go, listen, I'm not interested. I'm happy with what I have.

Whatever you're about to say next, I don't want. I'm not interested. I get what you're doing. Please stop because this song and dance we're doing I don't want to do nor have time for right

so stop he goes and then he tried again I'm like shut the fuck up and I I find the lady came over

with like what I needed I go that's mine I go have a nice day sir he goes um can I ask you something I'm like no

and I walked away I'm like I'm done I'm done with you but right away I was like listen whatever you're about to say, don't. I know this dance we're going to do. I don't want to do it. We don't need a tango right now.

I'm going to step on your feet because I don't like you. All right? Walk away. Go find another poor old lady to entrap. Okay? To get a hold of. To get a hold of. To talk to.

To bait. Hook. I don't know what you want to call it but go sell spectrum to someone else okay i hate salespeople i would rather have someone i in my head it would be more enticing to me if you're like learn about this we will educate you on this if you like it then we'll sell it to you kind of thing. Not, hey, do you like Spectrum? Do you want to buy Spectrum? How's Verizon? Do you like Verizon?

Do you have HBO Max? How about Disney Plus? Hulu? Netflix? Blah, blah, blah. I'm like. But that's. So.

It's their job. I get it. But I hate it. So. Catching you up. I am currently unemployed. Okay. Got laid off in November.

That's unfortunate. Past year. COVID, all that great stuff. But it is. Oh, my God. That could have been very bad. Yikes. I'm not even drunk.

Bourbon's hitting him. But it was, I love that sound sound also just the cork and just walking by just flipping me the bird as you said that i literally was about to come out of my mouth i go nothing's better than a cork top to a bottle it just sounds and feels like what's inside was well made handcrafted and it's gonna get you messed up. So we are great at segues. I'm so excited. I feel like I'm going to get drunk tonight. Quick one.

So the reason also why I brought this. Can I come pick up the ring with you? Do you want to? Part of me says yes. Part of me says no. I mean, I don't care. Do you need more? No, I'm good.

This might as well just be like an ADD podcast because there has been no two thoughts strung together which is why like the future time like to where we just you just put play on the camera and we just go for as long as we want to as i mean i know this is a headache whenever no whenever you want on editing at least least. Whenever you want. That might be one where maybe just for our bank, I'll just put one camera up. We'll sit here. That's all you really have to do.

We can do it. We can go as long as you want. I have a few two-hour ones with Braxton. It shows. I don't have a Joe Rogan listening thing where people are going to listen to two fucking idiots in their mom's garage talk. But yeah,

but yeah, we can definitely do that, but continue. I mean, it's just like for the, for the thrill of it. And just to see like how it's exciting. We can go.

It's a little nerve wracking when you walk in and you see shit like this. I was a little nervous coming into it because I was like, I don't know. Well, I don't know. I don't know how I'm going to feel like I've, what are we going to talk about? Like what,

what are we going to do? It's literally everyone's thought. Yeah. Which is also why I don't usually tell people'm going to feel. Like I've, what are we going to talk about? Like what are we going to do? It's literally everyone's thought. Yeah. Which is also why I don't usually tell people I'm recording. Well, I knew you are. Yeah. So, but Basil Hayden. So quick story.

One night with, at my house, my girlfriend went to sleep. I then, I don't know, probably about midnight she went to bed. I was probably still up until 4. Okay. She then the next morning told me that she kept hearing the out of it. And the bottle, the basil-laden bottle, so for viewers and everything, started at here. So, like, pretty, I mean, it's still less than halfway but it's a little pretty full the bottle ended here yeah it's a good so i saw so i drank pretty much the rest of

the bottle but she kept waking up to that sound and she goes she's a light sleeper she's a very light sleeper which is very bad for me because i always stay up are you in like a ranch no because you have a it's not two stories it's a single home yeah yeah single family yeah yeah so two stories but i'm still downstairs on the main level yeah once i'm upstairs then i'll be a little i'll be okay to make a little noise and she won't hear the bottle but the next morning she goes i kept hearing you just go i was like i don't even know like how many times i did that she goes i probably counted like five i was like wow very light because i bet you the microphone barely picks it up i was like i had a good night then yeah by myself i've had a i've never i guess if i was in my own home i had i was playing girlfriend i was playing xbox with friends so yeah friends. So you're with friends adjacent kind of thing. Correct.

Vicariously. But I still am not a drink by myself. I guess technically I drank by myself during this pandemic when I did like, I was one of those people that did like the Zoom party thing. I mean, I did Thunderstruck with like people from like four different. It was kind of fun. That sounds interesting. It was always depressing though.

When you're like, you're done, you close your computer and you're like i'm alone and you're like i'm kind of and i'm at home do i keep and i'm also hammered do i keep drinking do i not keep drinking i'm not sure but yeah i've never really i've had one it's and i enjoyed the hell out of it just drinking by myself i'm learning to do that a lot better. It's a, and it wasn't, it wasn't like aggressive drinking. It was,

I didn't, it was like sophomore year of college. The ranch had just come out on Netflix, like brand new show. So they're not full seasons, but I've seen. I really liked it. And,

uh, so, and it's like the cast of that 70s show, and I really like it. What's your time at? I'll check in a second. I just want to make sure for your editing sake. Oh, yeah, you're fine. Don't worry about it.

It's making it easier on you. And so I didn't have, I think it was finals week, and I was done or something like that. I wasn't going home for two days, so I had nothing going on. I had no homework, whatever it was,

it was Sunday. I had no classes Monday. My roommates all had stuff so they're all studying in their rooms or like in the kitchen yeah and i i just looked in the fridge and i was like i have like six to eight beers and i was like you know what maybe i just like i'm gonna have a beer like i have like two or three beers and i'm gonna to go to bed. I've never done this before. I sit on the L couch, the long part, and I lay down. I'm watching. I get into the show. I have a snack, and I have my beers.

I'm just slowly leaning back, sipping. I'm like, this is kind of nice. I'm like, oh, let's stop. I basically ended up finishing the beer. I had six beers, but I just slowly, more and more, got sunk into this couch. And I got so calm. You couldn't move me. No one could move me.

And I watched an entire season of The Ranch. Drank a little beer at a normal pace. But fast enough where I'm buzzed. No one's pushing me. I had a snack. Season ended. I went to bed. Woke up. I'm buzzed. No one's pushing me. I had a snack. Season ended. I went to bed, woke up. I'm like, I feel great.

I go, that's a problem. I have not done it since. But see, I can't, if I were to drink on my own, like by myself, I could not do beer. My choice is hard. At the time I was, I mean, I was 19.

I was not drinking. You're drinking underage. Oh, bummer. Goodness. I made up for all the times I didn't drink in high school, drinking underage in college. Same.

I did not drink in high school, but yeah, at that time. You didn't go on the camping trip with us did i did you no no because that was the first time i drank was senior year in high school on a camping trip up in devil's lake mine was with my group at that time my first couple times but first two times i was drunk, fantastic nights. First time I was drunk was off one mixed drink. That's all I had.

And I felt buzzed for about two hours. You had a cheap date. 50, I mean, not anymore. Not anymore. But like 50, it was like a 50-50 vodka sunny D that. When and where? Summerfest? Summerfest.

Do you remember OAR Summerfest? Yeah. That was a lot of fun. We need to do that again. That lineup just came out. We should go check if they're – you probably already checked, didn't you? I did not. I'm not that big into, like, Summerfest.

Like, I only want to see the bands. Oh, yeah. I'm definitely – I think I've always really been just, like, I hope there's good music there. I don't like just standing around. Like, the fact, like, where – I mean, I know where everyone's going to be under the Miller sign. Miller Light Oasis. Oh, good Lord.

Don't get me wrong. I will never complain. I had so much fun there even on those days. That was my best buzz I've ever been on was that night at OAR. That was in college though, wasn't it? That was like early college for me and maybe even you. It was like my freshman year, yeah. Yeah. Where I think that night started with me and my friends

drinking in one of my friend's garage, who then we got tattled on that we were drinking in there so then we had to go find somewhere else and then that ended up me putting something in a mcdonald's cup on the bus on the way down you ever gooched anything gooching never gooched vodka on the way so on the way down yeah or maybe it was Jack I don't know But it was one of the two Then we got there We bought a Either

Like a Sprite Or a Diet Coke And you make Split that Yep And then my brother Ended up Then showing up

Buying me a few more beers And my night Was just on a high From there It was fun dude I love like When the cards go off The crazy game of poker Oh my god That's what I miss The last So the last time we did on a high from there. It was fun, dude. I love when the cards go off for Crazy Game of Poker.

Oh my God. That's what I miss. The last time we did a concert, I decided... We've been to a few... We've been to like four together. I want to say three or four. Do we go together or do we like...

We never go together, but we make a plan to go. Every year, what it is is... We're like, hey, they're in town, me, you, Jared Hoffman. And Ryan Ruffing was at least at this concert that we were at. Yeah, but it's always you, me, Jared for sure. Correct. And when they come out, we're like, we're going this year, right? I go, absolutely.

But we have yet to start in a garage, drink, and then get there together. It's always you two get there, and then I meet up with you kind of thing. But then we stay together. We'll meet at the same point. So we always go to the same concerts. We haven't gone point A to Z yet. But I remember the last time I went, I made it a point. And I got rid of them because it had been so long.

But I made it a point when they throw the deck of cards up I was going to grab four cards every time, put it in my wallet and leave or four to whatever cards and I was going to hopefully make a deck of cards that would have been fucking cool

from all the cards of all the cards I've gone to I've found one of each card and made a deck of cards. I thought about it. I think it'd be a cool gift to one of you guys. Especially if I got two decks. I would just keep the cards.

I think that would be so fucking cool. I would appreciate it. I still want to do it. I still think I have the cards somewhere. I just don't know where they'd be. Keep collecting. For the best as, and I still think I have the cards somewhere. I just don't know where they'd be. Well, keep collecting. And for the best as Jared and I would know, they could be a new deck, but just plain. Well, the thing is, you would have some cards that are red-faced, some that are black.

You have one that are smaller, some with the cut ends or whatever. Some are wet, some are bent. And just press it down, wrap it up, and be like, here's your OAR deck. I think wet. Some are bent. Press it down. Wrap it up. Here's your OAR deck. I think that'd be so fucked. If we got a deck, and I still think we should do it. I think we should make a pact to do it now.

We should at least make one deck. The three of us. Let's do it. We don't have to do it all over multiple concerts. Us three go to the next one and we just each grab like just a pile of cards and then we sort through them see we make a deck then every year we go our pre-game to it is card drinking games with that deck absolutely it has to be and if we go to enough concerts and we start playing games like i know exactly what card that is because

that's the only red card of the deck And you start playing tricks with other people. Like I, like those, those kinds of ideas come into my head all the time that I think it'd be super cool, like fun gifts, but then they always just like die off because stuff like the pandemic or whatever.

But I mean, yeah. One, one thing that I want to get for at least, I don't know how we got onto this far segue. One thing I want to do though for OAR is go out to Red Rock. Oh, hell yeah. And see them at Red Rock.

They're like live from Red Rock on Spotify. I think I listen to more than any of their other stuff. It'd be fun. That would be one of my more ideal concerts to go to yeah them i think my two concerts i want to see at red rock the most would be them and odeza and i'm not big into edm stuff but odeza i think would be super cool right there listen to odeza i don't even know i don't i don't even know a ton of their stuff but i know enough of their music and their type of music that i just think it'd be really fun.

But definitely OIR is number one. But I know if someone makes a plan for a concert a few weeks in advance, that is the only music I'm listening to from there until the concert. I can't do more than a week in advance. I want to be able to... I don't want to look around at you and be like, sorry, I don't know. To this day, I have yet to do an OAR concert and know every song, though.

Like, they have so much music that I don't. For OAR, yes, there's one to two songs that I usually don't know. I kind of know it. I really don't. But I'm drunk enough. I'm going to pretend to sing along. Those are usually the beer run songs correct absolutely but when they came out with their new album i don't know when what year that was which oar concert because we've been to i think three three or four yeah

one of those years every year for a while yeah one of those years they came out with a new album and they played just their new album and I was like, I got no fucking idea. That sucks. Whenever a new artist plays their new album that hasn't been released yet, you're like, what am I supposed to do?

Cool, you have new music. As a listener, you're like, what the fuck did I pay for? You paid for them to sing music. You didn't pay for them to sing specific songs. At Summerfest, you're like, what the fuck did I pay for? I mean, you paid for them to sing music. You didn't pay for them to sing specific songs. At Summerfest, you're not really paying for them specifically. But as an artist, you're what?

I can do as many as you want. We've gone through a lot of that. Good sound. You're going to do it again, yeah? A little ASMR. ASMR. But as an artist, though, you're like, hey, listen, I've played these same songs nine weeks in a row.

We just put three months of effort into these songs. I made them to perform them. I'm going to perform them at some point. It's not my fault you guys haven't listened to them on Spotify yet. We're on tour. We're going to play what we want. Exactly. You're paying.

We have your money either way. You love me either way. You love my new music. It doesn't matter. When I play this, you're going to like it. You don't know it now, maybe. You just don't know the words. You're going to know it next time you come, though.

You're going to know it tomorrow because this song is going to be stuck in your head. These few songs are going to be stuck in your head. The first time I went to OAR, knew shattered that's it dude i go i love oar concerts i i only knew shattered and i didn't even know it was an oar song to be honest really i just yeah i first time i got asked to go was uh like caminas and ryan larson and i was like yeah okay i'll go sure and i remember leaving and hanging out my boy chat or chad fry and i was like yeah okay I'll go sure and I remember leaving and hanging out my boy chat or chat Ryan and when you were inseparable I just still to this day one of my best friends um I mean I know but like I was like listening I was like I was looking up all their music and

I just listened to their thing back before I had Spotify I had the uh I was a YouTube converter YouTube to m3. Yeah. But it was an app where I could search, and then I could just save it, and I made a playlist. And my playlist was – and then it would download, so it was saved, so I could play it without internet, which was super cool. But you could tell this was, I think, the summer after freshman year of college. All I did was go to concerts and drink and work. It was either work, drinking, or concerts. Nothing else.

And I could tell what concerts I went to in order from my thing. Playlist. Because I would go to the concert, and then songs I used to find annoying by that artist, you listen to live, and then you love them. You have such an appreciation where i'm like holy shit this actually live is so good it is a good song it's not overplayed it is overplayed but like you playing it is awesome and then you just like i'm gonna add this this isn't this and then it was never a mix like occasionally you just had like one song and it didn't make

sense but it was like zach brown oar kenny chesney um dave matthews and then what i'm like concerts yeah i got nothing the i think the number one thing i would want back from this pandemic for sure was is live music live music and crowds it's i'm definitely a crowds person i like seeing it's a massive amount of people having a good time. It's a different animal when you see that. Yeah. Like this, like I'm. I might shed a tear the first time I walk in.

Like if I walk into Summerfest and I see wall-to-wall people, and they've been there since like 10 o'clock in the morning, I get there at like 4, just sneak up to the front because my friend's been waiting. Right. Yeah, absolutely. And I look bad. You get there at 10, you hold up. And there's hold up to people i'll just buy your first two drinks yeah deal definitely worth eight hours absolutely i might actually shed a tear me like we're back

baby i mean it's like i'm glad things may be getting back to new like a normal or a new normal yeah even though people hate that word because what is technically a new normal now. But I'm glad to see things and people with the whole COVID and vaccinations. Like they're starting to get a little bit more comfortable. Are you fully vaccinated? I am fully vaccinated. I've appealed to the masses. I'm half vaccinated right now.

So when did you get your first shot? Because you do realize if you go farther than your next shot, you have to restart the process. Oh, I got it three days ago. Okay. So I know. Didn't know. Yeah.

I purposely, I was going to get it earlier, but then I have a trip planned and I was like, the day would be the day I fly back. I just made it. waited the day like i mean i i don't know i'm immune to covid anyway so like i'm just kind of uh so i don't know appealing to the masses i don't know if i'm immune but i mean i feel like i definitely had covid but i was always please don't tell me you had it in like november of two years ago possibly two years ago well so i got drastically sick for my normalness yeah before like in 2019 november like december yeah that's when i got sick a lot worse than I normally do. So whether that

was COVID, I don't know. But now like people are becoming more like acceptable like normal and everything and like with their shots. I like seeing at least sporting events becoming the lacrosse tournament I was just at. Becoming

more attendance. Oh, dude. It was like there was no pandemic at this lacrosse tournament i was just at becoming more attendance oh dude it was like there was no pandemic at this lacrosse no mass i mean there was like a few that in i'm all now when i see go to these events not to cut you off but when i see like the three people in mass i'm like the fuck is wrong with you and that's the other thing like part of like the related back to earlier like which part part of Wisconsin are you? Are you early? Are you spring early or are you late winter? Yeah.

This mask thing can be another thing because I don't know when I'm supposed to wear a mask or when I'm not supposed to wear a mask. No one does. We're either double mask, triple mask, no mask, face shields. I mean, just have gargle hand sanitizer. So when you breathe breathe it's just like 99.9 of the bacteria is gone today well i got so i got it on friday two weeks ago so today's yeah did you get sick i so also had this at the same time too so i got my shot it hurt like pretty much right away at At least just going in.

And then nothing really more that day, that night. The end of the night, end of the morning, I woke up twice just dripping sweat. Fully dripping sweat. Just like you just got to have a sauna type. I mean, they did just inject a deadly disease in your body. Bourbon. Yes. So then I woke up with headaches, sores, chills, aches.

I could not get warm to save my life. Took Tylenol. First off, which shot did you get? Moderna. I got the Pfizer. Yeah. I told my mom I got Moderna. She goes, that has the

worst side effects i go mom again i'm immune i'm fucking superman if anything this is going to activate my superpowers and i'm gonna be crawling on the wall how'd you do your first one did you get sick at all or any sad like oh no um i the the injection site um it wasn't until i got it like three o'clock in the afternoon i'd say about 10 o'clock at night i go yeah it's a little sore i go okay it's it's tight but like i can't full range of motion doesn't hurt and then the next day was my legs and shoulder days working out and i could do my full workout yeah so like it was just like it was like a but like in any vaccine you get or any like um tetanus shot you get it your shoulders a little sore yeah like it was bare minimum it was like

maybe three hours and just a little tender and that's it and that's how i was in my first shot yeah my second shot i woke up with all these symptoms and everything i took a tyenol probably around 11 to noon like just uh like 500 milligram whatever tyenol i drank by four o'clock i was fine yeah i'm not too worried about it it's just i can't i guess i shouldn't make light of it because you know plenty of people have died plenty of people have died i mean for me jokes people jokes i wasn't am i immune? Yes. I was never one to, oh, you have COVID? Don't come near me. I was living my life to normalcy.

Well, I mean, if you had COVID, I really don't want you near me, but I wasn't like, hey, you're dead to me. I never tested positive, but there is a pretty good chance in me that I had COVID. But also during the time, I could not take off of work because I couldn't. I physically could not because it was either me or my partner doing the work. And it was, if you aren't feeling symptoms, you're coming in.

Oh, yeah. So, I mean, I could have been like whatever, like asymptomatic, but still carried COVID. I mean, being in the. How many times have you been tested for? Cause I was only tested once. Like for a while. I was tested once. For the longest time.

And I, I got tested. Twice. I got tested a month and a half ago for the first time. So I basically could have just said, I never tested positive because I never got tested for it I got tested once to go to see my girlfriend's Nieces and nephews because they're just like Just tests like see if you guys have anything make sure you guys are safe for the next two weeks

And then you guys can come down like well, we'll do that. We had an outbreak in the seventh or eighth grade lacrosse team. And, like, just, like, legally, it'd be probably good for you guys to go get tested. And, like, fine. Yeah, I mean, so, like, it was more so, like, I personally am not necessarily getting tested or, like, these vaccinations because I'm, like, strong COVID. Yeah.

It's more so of, like, the people around me are encouraging me to get this test and like the shot just so I am vaccinated too, because my, we, what's the last time you've seen someone with polio? I cannot tell you exactly. They kind of work I

I and that I can't take credit what the fuck I can't take credit I mean that that's my buddy Joel said

like we were talking about it um in Denver he goes when people complain about the vaccine he goes when's the last time you've seen someone with fucking polio but I've also heard like

this vaccination has to be yearly like the flu shot yeah I do to be honest I like the flu shot. Yeah. Dude, to be honest, I don't know what the fuck is going on. I don't either. I said this too, and we are going to wrap this up here soon. Yeah, that's right.

When I got the first one, I came in. I had my sticker. I was like, got vaccinated, whatever. I go, to be honest, I paid no attention. I don't know what's going on. I'm not going to pretend like I know what's going on. Quite frankly, I don't give a flying fuck. I will be safe.

I will make sure people are comfortable. But at the same time, I'm not going to stop living my life. I'm still going to work out and do whatever. That lady, the injection she gave me, it could have been a vial of red liquid. It could have been Kool-Aid. She could have hit me with a fucking Capri Sun straw, and would not have known or cared that'd be cool and she's like if this was friends concerts like i you get hit with it and like if this is the kind of like

every once in a while just appeal to them it sounds so bad because i'm against this but like just don't be a sheep but sometimes just bending over and appealing to masses just to get to the next point. You're going to be a stepping stone before you're stepping on other stones. All right. So if this is what it takes for you to go live the rest of your life, because I promise you, a lot of you aren't making advances sitting at home. Yeah. I mean, this also isn't an advocacy to go get the vaccine it's also an advocacy not to go get the vaccine i don't care what you do but it's i'm

half vaccinated and immune i might as well be the fucking hulk okay not immune but it it's i mean like when back when not to get politics but but just when trump had like the mask and like not fast then all that stuff, people were like, well, I'm not going to wear a mask because that's invoking on my rights. Whatever side you're on, and for everyone else, whatever side you're on does not matter. But as a group, as a whole, do we not want to advance and get this farther?

Theoretically, this could have been over in two weeks. as a group, as a whole, do we not want to advance and like get this farther? Like, theoretically, this could have been over in two weeks. I mean, that's a very strong theory. Yeah. But,

like, in very retrospect of what harm is it to wear a mask? I know. Or like any of that sort. I get it gets old and stuff like that.

Yeah, it does. I get everything from every side. I mean, now I'm like, keys, phone, wallet. Mask. Mask. Fuck, forgot the mask.

Which sucks. It's another thing I remember. Let me go back and get the mask. The thing is, we have to find the balance. The problem. Middle ground. The problem is, walk the line. The problem is we focus too much on the 10 on each end that are the loudest

people okay like 80 of us probably don't care and are in the same boat most like 80 of the people are like listen like whatever i don't care like just let's get this over with whatever it's the 10 on each side that are on i just want to get onto the concerts yeah i just want to get on to going to a game or a bucks game where i don't have to order on that and like i want to get on to the concerts. I just want to get on to going to a Brewer game or a Bucks game where I don't have to order on a map. And I want to go to the concerts, but I want the concerts that are – I don't want to be spaced out in pods with the four people I go with. I'm still in the level where I want to go to concerts with the four people I'm with, but with the potential of meeting a ton of other people. I want to travel in concerts yeah like i mean i don't want to get that's what you that's what you are yeah when you go to

concerts we see you yeah and then and then we don't see you and then i'm there for 30 minutes and then we magically see you again you're like where'd you go and like i just wanted to get a beer that was a long time to get a beer. Long line. Yeah. Apparently. I mean, half the time it is. Half the time it's like, oh, I talked to a bunch of like. That's what Summerfest. Like, that's the basis of Summerfest. That's what I love about it. It's a social event.

Yeah. You can walk the lines. Like, you can walk on Blake's side or you can walk on the other side. You can have a party in line to get a beer. And just searching. Like, you just like are scanning. I have. I always do this with my beer. And just searching. Like, you just like, are scanning. I have, I always do this

with my friends. A dollar bet. Like, when you go to a brewery game, pack game, box game, whatever.

First person to see someone they know. First person to see someone who they know. But you have to, they have to know you as well. Exactly.

It can't be like, oh, they went to my high school. that's my mom's cousin's sister who I saw once. I just recognize her. No,

it has to be like me knowing you yeah correct it'd be like hey kyle hey michael whatever all like all that stuff but that's what i want to get to like where it's just like safe and back to what two years ago was. Two or three years ago was. Yeah, it's... I don't know enough about disease, nor I wouldn't say care. I don't know about the politics. But to be honest, part of me thinks

you could open Miller Park up tomorrow. Especially, let's be honest. We'll end it here, but let's be honest. You could open Miller Park up, and it wouldn't be any different than every bar in Wisconsin right now. Correct. To be honest, you put Miller Park on Brady or Water Street.

It's actually American Family Field. We're done. We're done. You're done. Hi, Mom. I'm on a podcast.
