We're like, oh shit, it's going to get really hot. We don't have water. Buy bottles of bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles of water. And then once all your bottles and bottles and bottles of water get there, you're like, oh, fuck, I don't have a place to store all this. And then you have like a spillover or, you know what I mean? But, yeah, so that's called a cute limb drop that they just kind of believe that's what happened. But anyways, Black Ops 3.

That was an awesome. Awesome segue. Welcome to the KAMS Special Needs podcast. That's Cam, I'm Jake, and we are. So we recorded our 80th episode last week. Right. I'm trying to think about, like, recording. and uploading so technically it'll be last week because i'll try to get back on the normal

schedule again but we recorded remotely and it ended up working out pretty well did you listen to it uh no how many do you think you can count on one hand how many of the podcasts you've listened to oh yeah i well i mean i've listened to quite a few of them and i've gotten to the point We're like, when I upload it, I'll listen to it. Yeah, I just, uh... Call me a sociopath, but I... Whenever I listen to the Grass Day's podcast, I just really want to punch that cam guy square in the fucking mouth.

Is that why you don't listen to it? Uh, no. I don't know. I just don't have the intention span right now to listen to a podcast, so... Did you say intention span? Attention span. There we go. I don't have the intention.

I don't have the full intention to absolutely crank my dick. Anyways, yeah, so I listened to it, and I thought it sounded good, and, I mean, it made me want to record again. Oh, yeah. I always, I always hesitate, like, after recording and then getting ready to upload it. Just wait. Just wait. We'll get there. I'm not ready.

I always think it's going to be cringe, and then I listen back to it, and it sounds good. You are on one today. Keep digging in your butt, twin. Last episode was pretty much just a recap, recap, recap, this is what happened, this is what we did. This is going to be more back in our lane of just sitting and talking about random shit. I mean, it was already got the earwiggle going. I can't Can you wait for years?

No But I've never really tried that hard So This is going to be Like I said This is going to be back in our lane So while I was listening today And you can feel free to chime in

And help me co-host this at any point But while I was reporting today I mean while I was listening today. I noticed on Spotify that it had a little, and I'll be able to pull this up because I'm not recording on my phone, but for instance, it had these little categories throughout the episode, like it split it up into segments.

Have you ever seen that? Or it'll like, so it started off by saying, first remote recording, working out the Kings, and then it went, and then after that, It was kicking off the weekend with the Creed concert and then it was like unpacking the themes of the movie sinners and then it was unforgettable moments of the Creed concert. I didn't do that. It's just like I don't know if it's AI or if Spotify just is like it listens to it and then just like breaks up the segments.

So wait. So it's like that's kind of sick. It's like I've noticed like on some YouTube videos that I've been watching. Yeah, exactly. They have like so instead of like. people wanting to like watch the entire video to get to what they want to see

you can just skip right to it you can look at the different like it shows you and it picks out the different like segments if you will of the episode like it like it just said like Bailey's ID taken at Railyard which is kind of cool that it like listens to it

and like I don't know how that works Spotify's our biggest fan you guys are fucking slacking that's all I no um but i couldn't help but think if we got a little bit back into more of our element what kind of segments it would put together for us if it's just like cam can't stop wiping his ass like if that's a segment i can only imagine what some of the topics would be well i have a very wild topic today well let's go oh yeah yeah like it's going to be good

It's going to be, it's kind of a concern I have for our world currently, but, uh... Oh, good. Before we get into it, do we need to... Oh, yeah! Yeah. All right. Cam, kick us off in the next segment called... What do you have in your hand?

Well, I've got two hands. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You got to, you got to open your mini fridge, Cam. Oh, yeah. I opened my mini fridge already Because Jake is always Making me wait

But I am drinking A ice cold Bushlight lime Bushlight lime We had those a couple episodes back What are you drinking? Let me knock on my magic mini fridge that I got here And see what it has presented for me

Yeah, yeah Could you hear me knocking? Oh yeah I also were thinking about the Oh, look at that. I don't know what the fuck just happened, but a little natural ice. That mow, eight percent.

Have you ever had one of these? No. You haven't? They're 5.9%. Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did. We had some together. Well.

Well, I think the magic nitty fridge was thinking about that time and presented me, definitely presented these that haven't been sitting in my fridge for like months. But yeah, here we go. Let me take a little. Yeah, let me, um, hard crack. Dude. What, that bitch just went, shonk! What, the hard crack left a line?

Oh, yeah. That's going to be satisfying. I was thinking about. um either one of us could make our our own voices echo like do like the the sound effect but we won't be able to hear the other persons while we're you know what i mean yeah because the funny thing is like when we're all sitting at the table and we crack and you're like uh-huh wait put mine on put mine on and then we all let me farting it with the echo like a fucking idiot like who would do that I did that.

But I actually did do that. You wanted to try it? Since you don't listen to the episodes, you wouldn't know this. I stood up on the chair and turned around and went, I'll find the clip and play it for you. It was with Connor and Spencer. Let's just kick this episode off with absolute spice and integrity. Which, by the way, by the way, do you think the Spotify segment for the first,

eight minutes, just says, I don't know. Oh, Bradley. I don't know what these guys are on. That or... It just says ADHD. That or it's going to control what I'm about ready to say and put that on there and everybody's going to click on our episode and be like, what the fuck I really want to listen to these guys. Hit me.

So I was doing my due diligence in brain rot. and scrolling the old TikTok. When I stumbled upon this girl that states, she likes to shove her JBL speaker up her pussy and play a comforting song. Comforting in the sense of it's a song she likes or the vibrations make her feel warm and fuzzy inside. No, no, a song she likes.

Okay. What song is it? She didn't say, no, but she didn't state the song, but she, like, explained on how she does it and why JBL speakers work great is because they are waterproof and she can really lube them up and shove them up there. Oh, my God. But then she proceeded to say that she likes to. Wait, do you have notes strotted down? Because you're reading off a screen right now. No, I'm just making sure that my computer don't die.

I thought you were like reading off a teleprompter I'm like oh my god it's fucking scripted this segment out but she said she likes to play a song that makes or she likes but then she proceeds to say to the video

that she leaves it up there for 30 to 45 minutes I'm just wondering because that's like an album okay that's an album that is an album so I'm just trying to figure out

unless it's like a Metallica or two songs that are like nine minutes long I'm trying to figure out I mean Master of Puppets would kind of make sense does the song she listened to

this is I'm asking you and what you think okay is that song on repeat or do you think Like I said, she just plays an album Of an artist she likes Well, because she said

I have a song that's comforting to me She goes, I just play a song that I like Or do you think she's just sitting on her phone Like, listen to that song? Okay, and she's just like Vibing with a JBL speaker rammed up her And it's like the cylindrical, like longer ones, you know? Yeah, I didn't think

was like one of those that has like the fucking wheels and pull behind well they have smaller ones that's why i'm just clarifying it like it's bigger than my microphone so i'm just i i it brought up a serious amount of concern because me and you both like listening to music a lot so like what our song would we just wedge a speaker up there and listen to hire by creed on repeat so is that your philosophical question what song would you what song would you put in you yeah that's the question of the day maybe that'll be the segment the segment just says what song would you put in you oh which oh my god that reminds me okay god i have so many things firing off my fucking brain right now oh perfect i might have ADHD dude um you do it's i do um so

first of all the song i would put on i don't know i think i'd probably play c418 album okay it's my comfort it's my comfort i could get behind it you know just soft like do do do but like some of those songs have enough bass in them that oh some of them some of them a little bit i mean one of them's called sub for lullaby yeah yeah i just fall asleep i like to just rattling my small intestine inside me okay so shot out of a canon

because these are all the topics that are in my brain right now I gotta get them out so a guy on the course found one of those JBL speakers that you're referring to

so it's kind of crazy you brought that up one of the ones that are like yay yep and about yay long like a foot 10 inches long maybe

8 yeah yeah yeah nine, 10 inches long. Oh, yeah. What are you looking at? I was trying to see if Bailey's JBL speaker was in here. That she doesn't stick inside her. I was seeing if Bailey's that she normally uses is in here. No.

But he brought it in. He brought it into the shop. I was sitting in my office. And then he's like, I found this out there. But I figured I better do the right thing and bring it in. He's like, that doesn't mean you have to. And I was like, well, now that you did i probably have to and i the next day i brought it or the next day um

ethan was back from his thing he did this weekend i'm not going to reveal that but and i was like told him the story and then he we i turned it on connected my phone to it had battery connected right away first song i played on it higher by creed oh higher by creed oh well i I didn't know. And it worked. And I was like, oh, my God. And it worked. And I was like, oh, my God.

And it sounded really good because those are quality speakers. Oh, yeah. It's like $200 speaker. Oh, yeah. Anyways. The other thing that reminds me of is we're at lunch today. And apparently, I think it was a brother, two brothers, like an older brother and a younger brother playing golf yesterday. and the guy chipped a ball, like, I don't know, four feet from the pen.

Yeah. And I guess verbatim what the guy said was, I'll give you 50 bucks if you can put it inside me. That is a crazy choice of words. I'll give you 50 bucks if you can put it inside me. And they were brothers. That has to be a new, that's got to be a new golf saying. because there's all kinds of golf sayings like get in at least like good speed just be like get in me bad towards yeah good speed bad towards um wow i my ball took

your ball took a picture of my balls it flew over i don't know these are like these are like dad sayings but yeah i'll give you 50 bucks if you can put it inside me Anyways. Okay, so back to the, back to the speaker dildo, though, but I mean, yeah, she probably. I know who you are. You are my enemy. You are my enemy. So, yeah.

You have a particular proclivity. I don't know if I use that word right, but, or I guess these videos have a certain way of finding. your algorithm and i'm beginning to think that you're the common denominator for these girls putting these foreign objects legit dude um all my ticot is is golf videos so it was really strange when i've seen your instagram role well i've seen your instagram's this different dude it's just different okay leave me alone with my freaking instagram granny porn okay Instagram's got a little, yep, we're going to breeze over that, but Instagram's got a little bit more edge to it because TikTok, TikTok won't show you anything, like violent or like perverse. Like there was a video of these girls, it was like a bunch of either middle school or like young high school girls that were like all wearing dresses.

Like it looked like either homecoming or prom. Yeah. They're all in a bathroom and this girl is wearing like in this black dress, this girl. this girl is chirping behind her and then she like whips around and it's like has her fist cocked and she's about ready to punch and then it just cuts to this like black guy

that's like doing it over like a commentary and he's like so TikTok won't let me show the rest of this clip but basically what happens is and so I was like well I want to see the rest of this clip so I proceeded to go on YouTube and type in girls fighting in bathroom

and I'm certain the FBI is moments away from knocking on my door. Yeah. But they were already here. I didn't find it. But I didn't find it. All right. Next segment.

Black Ops 3. TikTok. TikTok. Hang on. Okay, y'all, let's go. TikTok. So have you seen the trend where it's like the guy goes, hey, yo, is that good?

And it's like this far from the holder. Like, no, I'm not to see you by that. I know what video you're talking about, but explain it. absolutely smashes it, hits the tree, and it comes back and goes in the hole. Have you seen that one? I do know. I do know. Do you want to know how I saw it?

Oh, yeah. I sent it to you. Yeah, you send it to me. Anyways, sorry. That happens all the time with Lena and I. I'll see a video of an animal, and I will send it to her, and then she'll respond with, look at the video above what you just sent me and it's she sent me that exact same video

and I just didn't look so are you the same way Bailey and I are like Lena just sent you a fucking absolute abundance of videos and I never watched them I think that's why I've grown sick to watching everybody else's videos because I don't find other people's videos funny I only find my video is funny

no I'm just kidding but wait I thought I thought you took the sleep mode off. I tried, but it won't stop. So you have to constantly refresh it, otherwise it'll die? Yeah, yeah. And I don't understand why your screen dying will make it stop recording or why it did last time. Which, by the way, when I went in and edited it, edited it, I made a flawless cut. Like I was listening to it today and you couldn't even tell where I cut it.

Really? All right, let's play a game, guys. In the comments section, try to tell me where I cut it, and if you can get it, I'll pin your comment. There, fun little fan engagement there for our three fans listening. It's okay. If you want to keep refreshing, that's fine. Reduce motion.

I don't know. Just leave it whatever it's on, and we'll fix it later, because I don't want it to fucking cut again. anyways good idea all right we're still on tic-tok or are we moving on

um no tic-tok i think's pretty much over all right so you're saying so you're coming to lincoln this weekend oh yeah i didn't know if i think we're saying with you i don't know wait wait wait wait wait wait is this the class you're taking or is this something else no this is the wedding that i didn't really which wedding say am elize

wait i thought you guys weren't invited No, you're invited, but Bailey, okay, yeah, yeah, we won't get into that. We won't get into that. We won't get into that. But, okay, so, okay, so you're coming this weekend? Yeah, but I didn't know. I thought Bailey talked to you off again. Are you just dancing around this? When? When, when we were there, how every weekend we come down, it lines up. Dude, when you come into town, it is like they're putting an IV of alcohol into me. You can't. not count on me to remember these certain details. I don't make you drink, so it sounds like an issue to punish me. Let alone when my girlfriend tries to say anything to me, it's all the strength I got in me to try to comprehend what she's saying and remember it, let alone when it's a mindset thing.

When you're in town, it's like, okay, all right, we're going to, if we can bring the lights down to put a spotlight on me for this next. It's going to get a little somber. Not somber, but just heartfelt. Heartfelt. Ready? So you know the song, I'm sure you've heard it. It's this song by this band called Creed. And it's a song called My Sacrifice.

Have you heard that song? Yeah, I've heard that song. Sorry, sorry. So when it's like, when you're with me, I'm free, I'm care, you know that's what it's that honestly as cheesy as it sounds that's kind of what it's like when you're around it's like kind of your spirit animal um i mean that's kind of um insensitive to the native american culture to just throw that around but um what i really what i'm trying to say is like you're the friend i can go to to just really cut loose and it's not that I can't have fun with any of my other friends,

but it's really like all the stops are pulled out. And it's like, I know I'm going to be having a good time. I'm ready to have a good time. And I can count on spontaneity. That's a word. Do you know what that word means? I'm assuming it has to do with spontaneous. It's like spontaneousness, but I don't know if spontaneousness is a word.

spontaneity is like the act of being spontaneous oh okay i believe so i can count on that to happen when you're in town yeah yeah so it's like i'm ready to it's basically like you're ready to party basically i don't know where i was going with yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah careful careful um but i kind of feel the same way though it's like some of my friends we got to have like a plan do all that stuff Bailey likes to really have a plan like what we're doing besides me and you're like yeah whatever we end up doing we're cool with you know well and for certain things I also like having a plan

yeah but there are certain times like I'm pretty sure I've talked about this before one of the qualities I like about you is taking my hands off and just saying I'm going to stop worrying and just focus on whatever whatever happens happens like yeah like when we're hanging out and it doesn't even necessarily have to be alcohol related it's like we'll be like should we play black ops two zombies and we're just like yeah fuck it and then we'll just like do it you know what i mean but the thing about me is is when i was in high school and stuff and we like would have like a day off or something of school i would be like all right i'm going to go play like 18 holes of golf and then i'm going to play video games

the rest of the day or you know do this or go hang out with this person and go hang out with this person and then come play home come on play video game but the thing that drives me nuts is like when I plan too much and I can't get it done I feel I can let myself down that's a very good that's a very good point that's like me and you we planned you know we're like all right we're play black ops three and cam's going to kick my ass and football again and I don't think that was in the agenda but we're going to go play the game golf and do like all that but like when we didn't get it done it was like oh shit you know yeah like and i said it in the last podcast i was like i wish i could have freeze froze time because there was a lot of stuff i wanted to

do yeah um like we were like dogs oh we'll get up early in shit hang on what my dog's barry go ape shit because bailey's barry come home it's my oh she can Is she home? Is she, like, about to walk in? Yeah, if he, once he starts barking, if you're saying something. Well, get him on the mic and put the echo on. No, I'm just kidding. That was a really good dog impression.

That was really good. But, yeah, we were like, we're going to play Black Ops 3 zombies, and then I ended up sleeping in. It's just something I've always, I've been striving to do a lot is just stop planning so much. Yeah. Because like you said, some of it, some of it is, um, it's therapeutic to plan and it's also therapeutic to not plan. Yeah. If you have, because it's, it's expectations that you're building up. Yeah. Yeah. If you're building up expectations and they don't come through, then you get upset and disappointed. So, um, and it's important to like set up expectations for certain things but if it's like what video game are we going to play that's not an important

expectation that you need to build up and have yourself let down on whenever i'm going to come to lincoln okay i was like okay i'm going to come to lincoln i never i come and it's not very good i'm like god damn it and i get my one expectation is like stone cold steve austin we're going to drink what your one expectation is get Chipotle and whatever else happens is like just icing yeah yeah I that was my biggest plan I think your mic got blown out because I did not hear a word you just said or I mean maybe the might have been the phone it might have been the phone the mic might have picked it up anyways but anyways my one expectation for coming down last weekend was eating Chipotle getting wings and eating hoo-hot

And I have acquired all three of those because you know what, why not? Okay, so then what is your goal for this weekend? Hi, Bailey. My goal this weekend is to acquire the maximum amount of blue balls. Fierce edging. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. I don't know because we're going to only be there like.

Bailey just gave me a Jim Halpert look from over your shoulder. We're going down Saturday, right? Going down Saturday and coming home Sunday morning. So it's not going to be like, not much to do. Are you staying the night, though, Saturday night? We're staying there, right? Jake. Oh, Bailey has an ass.

That's why you don't know. Oh, yeah, you guys are more than welcome. Absolutely more than welcome. What time are you just coming down Saturday morning? Yeah, yeah. early probably well you're going to be busy with the wedding it's not going to be like a full shabang weekend but we can maybe do some stuff well i'll probably try to get bailey out of here like 530 in the morning so we can have maximum amount of the day on saturday is the wedding in uh sterling

no uh be not sterling sprague no sprague well no it's it's in beatrice but we talked about going to sprag days after sprag days yeah yeah oh my god any Any small town with the word days after it just scares me. Spencer always talks about, I think he, I think Sterling Days is what he does. Yeah. Or is it Sterling Day? I don't have no idea. Well, let's just say it is.

He's always like, oh, you got to come to Sterling Days. And I'm like, oh, yeah? And he's like, yeah, I started drinking it like, like it sounds like it's a sunup to midnight type of deal. And I'm like, oh my God. I can't do that. So, we, this is kind of, so my buddy that I work with, he, every year they go up to the Calamas Reservoir. You know where that's at? Probably not.

I don't know. The Calamus River in Burwell? Well, yeah, but the reservoir is just like a little bit northwest of Burwell. So. I've never been there, but I've floated on the Calimus before. Yeah, we went, we went camping up there. And oh my God, I loved it. Wake up at 6.30, have me at ice cold D.C.

Once everybody else gets up. Diet Coke? Yeah, yeah. Oh. Once everybody else wakes up, I'm cracking a cold one. And I'm just throwing them back all day until we go to bed. Well, we on our last day, we're like, what are we going to do? Well, this little town called Taylor.

Taylor in Nebraska is like a town. I knew a Taylor. I knew it. double taylor uh uh i think it might have 150 people and they had um a street dance and like a parade so we're like uh sure let's swing down see what it's all about and um it was kind of lit not going to lie besides the fact that it was cash only so we had to go get $40 cash and the way cam drinks $40 goes quick How much is a Vegas

bomb? So we got a little larried up White larried up or what did I say came back to the camper and played Uno and I proceeded to get my dick ripped off in Uno which the trunk cam dick ripped off

definitely some curse words involved I like how you talked about um as if it's a different person like you're referring to yourself in the third person because you're like don't worry like he doesn't come out all the time oh yeah but when he does um so when i do this i don't actually have Tourette's um my neck is just really fuck don't worry there's no there's no video so you don't need you can do whatever you want but uh can't cam quit throwing up the blood sign there's people there's there's there's there's Don't you know Cripps listen to this?

I'm actually sitting here butt naked. I know. I was about to, but I had to walk out to my truck and get my little dog. About to what? Just sit here in my underwear. Why? Because it's hot outside and I had a long day outside. Dude, that's a nice segue.

Go for it. Lena and I, Lena and I were without power from Saturday morning until Monday evening. Ooh. So, let me tell you a little story. It was just gripping. Every fart you had. What was? Every fart you had.

What are you talking about? It blew the sweat plumb out of your ass, huh? You sit down on the shitter. I don't know what you're talking about. Right off the toilet. Okay, so Saturday, Friday night, going into Saturday, there was a big storm that rolled through Lincoln. North Lincoln, like airport, clocked 80 mile an hour winds. Yeah, yeah.

So I heard a noise when I was, because I had work both days, because it was my weekend on, I heard a noise outside, and I kind of peeked out the window and I saw the power line in our backyard was like drooping way down. And I'm like, oh, shit. Like, you know, I didn't, I don't know. I was half asleep. I was just like, well, that's bad. Yeah. So I got up for work and I went outside to look at it before I left to see just how bad it was.

And I looked up in our tree and the power line was arcing in our tree. It was like zapping our tree and there was embers from leaves burning fluttering through the air. Because it was right before the rain had hit. Oh my God. And I was like, my first thought was like, what do I do? So I went back inside. I'm like, that's obviously an issue that needs dealt with immediately, right?

I mean, it's a power line zapping a tree that's in our backyard. So, I went inside and woke up Lena and told her, and I was like, you know, what should I, like, what do you think we should do? Should I call 911? And she was like, who can we call that would know what to do

or who we should call? That's up right now. And I was like, well, Gabe, I'm probably going to have to call him anyways because I'm going to have to call in and deal with this. so I called him and he was like yeah I would call LES and call the fire department because I was like yeah okay well I'm going to deal with that I'll be in when I'm in and like about that

time is when our power cut out so it's about 530 in the morning and then the fire department showed up and by the time they showed up it had started raining sideways and it was blowing still like crazy so and the power was off so whatever power was running through that line it's no longer zapping the tree because there's no power in it yeah yeah so the telephone pole you know that's in like the corner of my neighbor's yard yeah like right in the corner of my yard kind of it was like tipped 45 degrees it was angled like it was down it was damn near down yeah but it was still upright kind of so sunday went by we didn't have power i slept in the basement Saturday night on this fucking air mattress that was deflating overnight.

So by midnight, 1230 in the morning, I'm like fucking like curled up because it's like fucking hot. No, because it was deflating. So my fucking ass was deemed you're touching the ground and I was. I'm saying you slept in the basement because it was hot. Yeah, we didn't have AC. Yeah, yeah. We didn't have power.

So Lena finally went in the basement? No, no, no. She still stayed upstairs. well she probably loved it because she's always it wasn't cold i know she's a fucking lizard she's a cold-blooded lizard she likes it hot so she so i i moved to the couch the leather couch in our basement yeah and initially it was nice because it was nice and cool but by the time i like woke up in the middle the night to pee or whatever like 3 a.m i had warmed it up and so i was like Like I was trying to roll over and I couldn't

Like Velcro did the fucking thing Like sticking to it So anyways The next night I think we It was cool enough Like the overnight temperatures were getting down to like 65 Yeah

So I was like we'll open up every fucking window in the house Because our house got up to like 80 degrees it got up to like 78 degrees on our thermostat that's wild i would have been dying so i know dude i so we opened up like every fucking window in the house uh richie brought over his generator that he uses to run his camper yeah and we were like plugging in the fridge every so often to try to keep it cold um we had like shuttled over some freeze some frozen stuff over to magging ben's deep freeze but so that night i had every fucking window in the house open and it kind of cooled a little bit um i was like i had the fucking like fan blowing on me while we were running the fridge like we

plugged in a fan to it too and i was like i got to try to race this to bed i like took a freezing cold shower like just laid out on the bed like in my boxers to try to fall asleep and hopefully by the time i like might have woke up again it would have been like colder in the house but the fucking exhaust from the generator set off our carbon monoxide alarm like midnight so i'm like oh my god dude we could not catch a break we were getting shafted left and right by the time i fell asleep it was like the crickets and the cicadas were blaring on a fucking 11 so i felt like i was sleeping in a tent in my own house so the next day we basically were like trying to avoid being at home we were like praying they would come and deal with it and we were like spending the time at

other people's houses we like went over to her relatives we're like let's fucking drink because we were both emotionally distraught um so sunday night we went to eat at her parents and we're coming home and she desperately wanted a chocolate cone from Dairy Queen. Yeah, yeah. So we go, I order my thing, she orders her chocolate cone, we pay, we go up to receive, and they go, our chocolate ice cream machine is broken. And she, I look at her, and she just looks broken at this point. And so they're like, we can get you a chocolate.

so just wait so they were like we can get you a chocolate sunday and she's like okay and they were like trying to overcompensate and they gave her a chocolate sunday in the sunday dish and they loaded it the fuck up with fudge so much that it was like spilling over the edges and getting all over her so there was chocolate fudge on her leg on her finger it was getting on her purse and she just starts having a fucking full-on mental breakdown. And I was like, hold on, we're almost home. I'm speeding home. I'm like, I'm going to get you a bowl.

And so I, like, ran inside and grabbed a bowl, and we just plopped it into the bowl. And we're sitting in our living room on the floor. It's still, like, 77 degrees in our house. And we're having, and I'm trying to hold it together for us. Fast forward. Eventually, Monday, I look at the LES outage map, and we are at the top of the list for the number of people out of power there was like 62 and i was like they got to be coming by today um i took the old um portable air conditioner that was at work and our generator from work

so we kind of got off early on monday and i went home plugged in the portable generator or the portable air conditioner to the other generator ran the fridge with the other generator and it was actually kind of nice it cooled down our room quite a bit and I just fucking plan on laying in our bed all day with the air conditioner blowing on me and then LES showed up

and there was like I shit you not at least seven LES trucks lining our street and I'm like this is what I'm fucking talking about the cavalry has arrived and they ended up ripping out that entire telephone pole

and setting a new one and so they got it reconnected Monday evening and we got power back on and it was like I don't know we were stranded at seeing discovered land

I mean Lena and I were so happy I was like finally I can get a fucking decent night of sleep because I like my sleep I work on a golf course I get up early I like my sleep and in the fucking summertime I mean we're lucky it wasn't highs in the hundreds

yeah because i don't know what we would have done but all right now you talk for a while um so well to kind of like side tangent that not really side tangent to be on like so bailey's mom we were up there in a lot of people you probably won't know but at the callumice you have like terrible terrible phone reception but at like one spot you can get pretty decent phone reception so bailey's mom texted her and was like be careful with storms because we're in a camper obviously and we got nothing i woke up the next morning and it was just like a few sprinkles here and there and it was a little bit chilly like you could definitely tell storms blew through Nebraska because it kind of cooled down quite a bit like up there i bet it

was like a high of maybe 70 the day after the storms blew through so um we did that and then i was we were somewhere and i was scrolling through ticot well norris um their norris like high school power or whatever their like power district showed up and it was like the guy is gearing up to go back out again and they're like loading their trucks up and that's Hickman right yeah and it was just like full on like what time was this at wild well it was like during the day oh okay but and then they said then I seen something that was like the um like Lincoln and every like place around you right that was out of power and i was like oh my god and i thought about calling you but i'm like

at this point if they're out of power they're probably trying to conserve their battery on their phone yeah i mean but all i get it you probably didn't want me to call him like oh that fucking sucks well you wouldn't have been like that you would have checked in on us earnestly but yeah but anyways so i was seeing that and then i seen a post on facebook And did you see the Blair, like the, like, wind radar over Blair? No. They clocked no tornado 140 mile an hour wind. How is that possible?

Well, so like we have... You know what I mean? Like, if there's a tornado is essentially a storm that's based on wind, and like flying debris. Yeah. But like what is, what is like a, what size of tornado produces 140? I don't know. That's why I was like, that's weird.

But I wonder if it was a thing like last year where I, well, where I live, last year we had a huge storm come through and the tornado sirens and stuff were going off. And it got like, well, the tornado sirens didn't go off, but it got like crazy. wins like we got calls like huge huge fucking trees were just uprooted like it might as well be a tornado yeah so what they were saying is there was a tornado that came through but it never touched down like it went like halfway down but it never actually touched down i'm like well that's they usually get all their power once they touch the ground right but i have no idea i don't know but yeah and then i seen all the stuff of like them posting on like what lincoln went through i'm like that would fucking suck yeah i mean the uh there is uh by star city shores there is the parking lot

do you know the parking lot where they have those like kind of drive-thru lights by my house um off on like nebraska highway that parking lot is filled with trees like they're like they're getting ready to mulch it up like turn it into mulch or um yeah mulch you better go get your pickup ready start mulching all your flower beds dog well well and do i i don't know if they were like paying people to bring branches in because i think there was like random like just citizens here and there that were just like picking uh branches up off of people's like a lot of people are putting branches down on the curb and they were like loading up trucks like their own trucks and like taking them to that dump well maybe they were just being good

samaritans probably i don't know like so what our protocol is where i work if we get like a big storm and it's like really really bad they usually kind of say like okay we'll give you guys or two days to get all your branches out to the street and then we are going around with our payloader our skid steer and all of our dump trucks and we're just like picking up shit yeah just everybody goes picks it up throws it in a dump truck and then hauls it off but then it becomes some point where like it's so annoying because people abuse it you know what i mean like there's some people so don't have a pickup or don't have a way to get their tree branches out to our dump and there'll be those are the people you want to help yeah and there'll be people that have

a pickup that not only are their branches broken off, they're out there fucking cutting branches off their tree or off their bush and then throwing them out in the street while we're doing that. So, so you know how, like between the sidewalk and curb is technically city property. Is the city responsible for picking up branches from those trees? but then any other tree that's in your yard are you responsible for disposing of those like when they do like a grass day or something like that

is that like a thing? Every city might be different but like ours if you're the tree is in there we do trees differently if the tree is in the easement and anything above the street it's technically ours like we could go through if it's like curb wine we could go through

and just whack all the way up Oh, so if you had, like, let's say you had a giant tree in your yard that was hanging over the curb, you can, like, trim it back. Yeah, but we do, we do 12 foot is like our stopping point. Like, every winter we go and trim trees that are above the street and we go to, we go to 12 foot. But in all reality, if we had something to get high enough, we could just whack it off right at the curb line. but if the we do if the tree is in the easement the city can take it out but you're still responsible to upkeep it it's like your yard right like your little grass area that's right there you know like be in between the sidewalk the city can come in and do technically whatever they want with that if they have to put

like a utility or something there sure but it's your responsibility to upkeep it right well And so I was also like in the process of all of this Because like Saturday we were We were here at work till like fucking You weren't in it Where Hey Cheers Jake

What are you doing? Oh she can't hear me because I'm coming through your ear pot He said what are you doing? She's drinking I just came over for a beer came over for a beer that's perks of living down the street from your mom for a beer you should brought like four or five or seven or twenty yeah there you go but

do you want to say who that was um that was my mother-in-law you guys you guys kid you could have heard on here jake couldn't hear because it's my air pods but i was like hey and that she's just looking at me like even hear me. Anyways, uh, so yeah, we were lucky to not get any storms.

We had a little some here. And kind of where we were at, a couple miles past us. It kind of got a little wild, but we were lucky to not get anything here. So, uh, yeah,

not so I was looking up, um, like the law, what the law actually is with trees and like whose responsibility. it is so i believe according to lincoln and i got this information off of reddit so i could be entirely wrong i believe the law is if you have a healthy tree and like it produces debris or branches fall down or what have you and it falls into your neighbor's yard it's your neighbor's responsibility to pick it up it there it then becomes their issue because it's if nature caused it and it's

you can't really help it because think about like it's it's you can't really help it because think about like if it's fall and all your leaves, not all your leaves, but like you have a big tree that produces a lot of leaves in the fall and a bunch of them are in your neighbor's yard. They can't just be like, hey, come over and rake up your leaves. Like it's whatever leaves are in your yard, whether they're from your tree or your neighbors, you got to pick them up or not. Um, but if it's, it's a different story if it's like a diseased or like dead tree, if it falls and breaks in your neighbor's yard it's kind of one of those things it's like well you should have taken care of that dead tree because yeah if it becomes a hazard to like public then yeah you're kind of required

if you have somebody come in and be like yeah that tree could fall on both of your guys's house at any point then not i mean you'd be kind of stupid to be like well i don't want to take my tree out you know what i mean right so and we're kind of dealing with that a little bit right now and our backyard so that big as tree in our backyard it's not fully dead but some of the branches are like kind of hollow in the middle

like it's dying or has a disease or something in it the last major big storm we had a big branch fell broke our neighbor's fence and it got cleaned up and dealt with because we live at a rental so technically we aren't responsible for paying

for that type of shit um well this storm another good-sized branch fell into their backyard, didn't damage their fence whatsoever, and there was some other branches in our yard that weren't huge by any means, but the other day, Lena and I kind of loaded some branches up and picked up like the major branches in our backyard. There's some small twigs here and there, but then today there was a new pile of branches in our yard that we're pretty sure our neighbor cut up and threw over our fence, so i'm not sure but i don't know i know but i don't know what the legality of it is if our tree is

like starting to rot but isn't fully dead it's still so it's still there i i still think it's i mean they should have at least been like hey what like he should have at least talk to us and like we could have came to an agreement about it instead of just passive aggressively cutting up the branches and tossing them back over well a lot of it comes out with like okay so i'm trying to build a fence at my house well i have a tree that technically me and my neighbor share because it's literally splits our property line right in the middle so half of the tree is theirs half the tree is mine well i don't want to to spend the money

and our tree is actually chlorotic as fuck and it's kind of a piece of shit so it needs to go anyways but it's also like I went over there took a beer over there and I was like talking to him I'm like how much do you guys really like this tree? Because if you guys

like it then whatever because half the tree is yours I can't do anything unless we both agree to just so but like a lot of people see see it as how much shade does that tree provide for me. Right.

Like sometimes your neighbor is benefiting from the tree. Yeah. It's like they're picking, choosing when they like and don't like the tree. Yeah, exactly. Which is kind of shitty. And there was also, go ahead. But also, it's like the same fact of, it's kind of a shitty neighbor.

You know, like we just went through a huge storm and I cleaned up all my shit. And now you're throwing more shit on the side of my fence. but I really don't think it's it goes either way because well I'll tell you this I'll tell you this there was a tree service there today cleaning up sticks and twigs in his backyard like raking them up and disposing of them and I went over there Alina was kind of pissed about the branches she was like come look at this we looked at her window and we saw those branches in our backyard that weren't there the other day and i was like i'm gonna go like i just went over and the tree service guys were back there in his yard and i just said um did you guys throw those branches over back over into our yard

and they're like no which and i was like okay never mind then and i but then the more i thought about it i'm like wait how did they know what branches i was talking about like i feel like a normal person's response would be like what what do you mean but if they just immediately say no it's almost as if they're being like no we didn't throw those branches over that we know exactly what you're talking about yeah you know what i mean but they wouldn't do that of their own accord i think like what if the neighbor i think the neighbor guy was out there and was like oh these are they're like but would a tree service be like oh yeah we'll throw branches into someone else's yard.

I don't think they don't work for that guy. Okay, the way I see it, if they're over there cleaning branches up for that guy, that guy's paying them anyways and probably paying them by the hour. So they're more likely to be like, okay, well, I'm going to clean up all the branches I can and you're going to pay me more money.

I don't know. And like I said, we have a rental. So our landlord, who's really responsible, for any sort of like expenses in that in that field. She told me she's like, I don't want to deal with that guy

because I think that guy may have been like a headache for her in the past. So I don't really know what to do. I mean, it's not like it's that many branches. I could easily just pick them up, but it's kind of the principle of it. Yeah. Like I don't know what I should do

if I should be like, hey, did you, if you wanted me to do something about it, you could have just asked me instead of just throwing them back over into my yard without saying anything but then again the way i see it is like your branch fell on his fucking fence so you have insurance it's completely most your insurance completely covers weather damage so i don't know i don't know like it's a person a person basis and we had last year we didn't get it really bad where we were living at the time but the north side of

and where my dad lives had like baseball-sized hail like fucking trashed their house everything and their insurance adjuster came through and was legit taking pictures of their chain link fence and where it got bent from getting hit with hail I mean not everyone has the same insurance or or type of protection with their insurance

yeah but that's what I'm saying like really like it probably wasn't out of pocket for that fence and not only that what people don't realize is that tree of that size is going to be like probably 10 grand oh well that tree where i live would be 10 grand it's probably going to be 20 25 like to take out yeah to completely remove it well and that's what they've been working on doing our landlord has been working on trying to get it out but like i said there's a power line that runs through it and they have to like disconnect the power to our house in order to take that tree out so it's not like a i'm going to contact a tree service and they're like oh yeah we'll be over

this afternoon we'll get it down it's a massive tree that they have to disconnect power so they have to get the electrical company involved and it's going to be a whole undertaking and they've been like postponing it and postponing it like it was supposed to come out last year and it's still standing because they haven't been able to. I'm really surprised that like the electrical company hasn't just came through and just fucking. Because like our electrical guys

put a stick of dynamite in it. Like with our department they don't give a fuck. If your tree is in the power lines and they want to cut it, they will butcher the fucking tree. It will look, they try not to. But if they have to and it looks like

shit, they will. Because they don't want to in the power lines but that's what I mean like obviously the it's not like it's running through the power lines the power line from the power lines yeah like the the line that supplies

our house goes directly through the tree exactly so they're probably seeing it like well if something does happen it's just their power it's not really gonna destroy like massive power it's kind of like a choice of like oh yeah if you guys really want it out that bad

call us we'll get it this kind of connected, then you can come through and just hack away. Right. I don't know. And I think, like we said, everybody's different. Right. And we've had so much rain this year. I think that's been playing a part in it too.

Is like every time they have like a date set that they're going to come do it, it fucking rains. And they're like, well, we're not going to do it. But we already have a schedule of other clients that we're going to. Yeah. So they have to like keep postponing it. Truth be told, I don't, I don't love the idea of having it. taken out because it is a it is a big tree that provides a lot of shade

but it is kind of rotting some of the big leader branches have fucking are hollow so and I mean when we get a big windstorm just like we had fucking massive branches fall out of it so it probably is for the best that it comes down but I learned something cool about

trees tell me so um you know have you ever like it's been like a warm day and they're just like some random mass big branch that falls out of a healthy tree you're just like did we have any big wins

or you know like you're just kind of dumbfounded like oh how that fucking branch break it's called it's called acute limb drop or something like that

so what's like spontaneous human combustion kind of so like wait no spontaneous combustion not human combustion Not human combustion, but... Have you heard of that? That's a rabbit hole for a different episode. So what actually happens?

That's for my girlfriend's podcast, which I won't shout out, because no free, no free shout-outs here. You know what we should do? We got to start, we got to do a conspiracy podcast. Someone's like, what's the podcast? I'm not telling you. What? Anyways, we got to do like a conspiracy skit or not skit, but like segment. Anyways, we'll save that for Halloween.

We'll save that for Halloween. Yeah, yeah. Anyways, so what happens. to these branches is when you've had a cute limb drop yeah so when you've had decent amount of rain and then when it gets really hot like you'll have like a day you know where it's like 85 89 and then it gets up there to your like 105s well what happens is that tree sucks up so much water because it's like oh drought drought drought drought drought we're going to go and drought and it sucks up all the water well all the water makes it super heavy

shoots out to the limbs, and the limbs get heavy, and they just snap. Oh. Because like the other day, it was stone fucking, like, quiet, no wind at all when I was on call. And I got called out for a massive branch. That makes a lot of sense. And so what happened was it just literally just sucked out all the water and put all the way out on its ends. And just whom, because the ends of a branch, if you don't know a tree, is like the water storage and then it sucks up all the water and then once the tree requires

the water it kind of slowly sends it back so so it's so like basically what you're saying is if there's a really hot spell coming you can expect that some branch some trees are going to drop some branches yeah pretty much because they're going to like the heat's going to hit and they're like oh we're going into drought we're going into drought we're going in a drought we're going in the drought and they're just going to start sucking up all the water but so basically they'll suck up more moisture than they know that they can handle for certain branches that are that yeah are just sitting in such a way that's really interesting they go and like override they're like oh we want to have this water storage but it's like me and you right like it's like somebody that

doomsday preps or you know like preps for anything so we're like oh shit it's going to get really hot we don't have water buy bottles of bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles of water and then once all your bottles and bottles and bottles of water get there you're like oh fuck I don't have a place to store all this and then you have like a spillover or you know what I mean yeah I start just unscrewing all the caps and then just kicking them all around my kitchen yeah so but yeah so that's called a cute limb drop that they just kind of believe that's what happened but anyway that was black ops three that was an awesome segue I have the water or the ice staff okay

but I can't have the fire stubs on the fire dibs on fire staff um so anyways I've been going down the old rabbit hole of all of the Easter eggs all of the speed runs

the fastest speed you want to crave? It's making me crave. I can't talk. But I already have Black Ops 2, but I want Black Ops 3. So you were on a Black Ops 2 kick, now you're on a Black Ops 3 kick. So what do you want to play? Because I have Black Ops 3.

Yeah, I know, but I want to get it. But I'm also kind of deciding, like, I wanted all my PlayStation 4 because I have all of my information saved on my account. Or, wait. Hold on. Was it Black Ops? It was Black Ops 3 that was the very first backwards compatible game, right? I don't know. I don't know for sure.

Because I hope so. Because when you get a new device, doesn't your, like, all your stats save? I think it saves to like your Microsoft account, so probably. because like if I don't have it and it's not cross plat I just buy it for Xbox because Xbox is cheaper but I also have like all the diamond I have all the diamond camo and all that shit and I don't want to start over on Black Ups 3 multiplayer yeah dude I grind in Black Ops 3 I got dark matter and everything I know now this is going to make me upset what grade were you in when you were grinding Black Ops 3

So the other day Mind-blowing experience Listen, I'm getting there So they go Got to slow play it They go

I was watching Noah Jay react to the fastest shadows of evil Speed run Like solo or Yeah solo And so I was like oh my god i fucking miss black ops three zombies solo any percent speed run no mega goblin

and you can and you can play all of the old black ops two in black ops three and everything looks better in black ops three and you have one extra hit because you know you get two hits in black ops two and you go down and black ups three is three yeah so i was like black ops three really was just like the turn of the like a new era so kind of kind of in some ways i was so fucking like i'm so we have to stop i already told bailey we are stopping at game stop i am buying black i'll go with you for one device i don't give a shit but um anyways so i was like going through this rabbit hole of cod zombies and i got to the shadows of evil speed run that i've already watched and he goes

and this was a year ago he goes yeah this map has been 10 years old and it just now got beat and they don't that speed run will never be touched why because it's it's so optimized

unless they discover something like over the years that has been so optimized it like yeah unless there's I also watch the origins one on Black Ops 2 and the guy has it so optimized they it will never be beat unless there is some something game absolutely game breaking that they can find

like a glitch yeah like they were saying that when you go into the robot you know the giant robots you actually just teleport to like a different spot you're not actually in their head it's just a right I mean it's a game like it's a it's a like I don't know what I'm trying to say like a platform yeah just like just like in the old like world at war if you ever got into a modded lobby you could like fly or like Black Ops 1 like modded yeah you could like you could like if you know clipped and you could like fly around you could see like what's this box over here and you go inside it and all it is is like the teleporter like blue display thing it's like oh so when you're doing it it puts you here to look at this teleportation. Yeah. And then it just cuts you back to, you know what I'm saying? Exactly. Yeah.

So the other thing, the only thing that can make the origins map faster is if they find a way that you can go from robot head to robot head without having to go back out and wait for. What? Yeah, this guy has beat. The guy had the record. and then he beat it again in such a fast speed. The only way the record will be beat is if they figure out how to travel from robot head to robot head without having to wait the other cycle for the robots to come back through. That's the only way that record will ever be beat.

Anyways, Shadows of Evil, that's kind of where this guy's at. Unless there's something that absolutely game-breaking that people study and find, he's got it so optimized and won't be beat. I fucking love speed runs because they're so. satisfying to watch the most optimized version of something, because you know that whatever you're watching is not wasting your time

whatsoever. You know what I mean? It's almost like it's like there's no fluff. You know what I mean? It's like all meat. It's like, and we talked about this once before, it's like the all reds Starburst.

Yeah. It's cutting through all the shit you don't want. And it's just, it's giving you exactly what you want anyways so you know that every single thing that you watch in the video is anyways i got bad news for you call of duty black ibs three does not support cross platform between playstation and xbox consoles including ps5 and xbox series x which is what i have but i also have an xbox one i didn't get rid of my xbox one yeah i don't have a series x or a playstation five Wait, can an Xbox, can a Series X play with, um,

your, uh, slim? I have no idea. Um, anyways, um, hang on just one second. Let me finish this. Uh, so the guy was talking about how the speed record got broke again and the map was 10 years old. I was sitting there, I'm like, 10 years old, when this was a year ago.

Wait, wait, wait. An Xbox Series X and Xbox 1S can play together and crossplay for many games, including those that support both generations. So if you come to town and you get it for your slim, then we could play together. But if you get it for your PlayStation 5, I don't think we could play together. Oh, well, I don't have a PlayStation 5. I have a PlayStation 4. but anyways so well then definitely not it was 10 years old and that was a year ago I'm like oh my god I was 11 years old when no yeah I'm 20 now 10 years ago a year ago I would have been 11 I was 11 years old I was a senior in high school playing blackouts

three wait but i'm going to be 28 and you're 22 two well pretty much 22 and a half but that's six-year difference so i guess 17 yeah i might have been 17 oh yeah 17's when i lost my virginity. But anyways Um Anywho Anywho Anywho Maybe I'll just buy it for both

Fuck it Well, we can go to GameStop and take a look Alright then We were going to That was funny when we went to Because we got you Black Ops too And it was like What was it? Like eight bucks

Five $5.99 $5.9. That's awesome. Oh, yeah. But anyways, Is that about do it? Yeah, suppos wedding. And I'm having beef and noodles.

What? What? What? What are we having beef and noodles over potatoes? Is your broad making you supper right now? Well, I shredded the beef, so we're both. So it was a joint effort? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

My broad's making me suffer, too. All right. I think that'll do it. I can. Hey, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, We've broken the code. We've figured out how to record and get you guys readily available episodes with Cam and Jake's voices. We're still working on getting you guys a video element.

And by that, I mean, we haven't done it, even attempted to do it yet. But we'll try to figure it out maybe eventually. Probably not, but maybe eventually. I'm just kidding. I do have a webcam. I don't know if you can record a webcam and a voice memo at the same time. Well, I'm in the lab. I'm getting in the lab.

thank you guys all for listening um Spotify and Apple podcast for audio only still watch us on YouTube and comment um thank you guys all for watching until next time if a branch falls is that the one you wanted to do were you thinking about it if you get percaholic if you're okay always get mule kick I've got two I've got two One, if a branch falls in your yard, throw that sheet in your neighbors. Two, if you're using Pergaholic, make sure you close that.
