So my pre-workout, I took two Red Bulls and a White Claw and mixed them all together and just downed it. I thought you were talking about pre-workout powder. I was, but mine was bad. So I didn't have pre-workout, but we had a couple Red Bulls at the house. And a White Claw? Dude, no. I'm fucking telling you. When I'm back.

It helps numb the body up. It does. I swear to God. No, it just hops me up. So. Do you know hearing aids are like Bluetooth to like your phone nowadays? Oh yeah, they've been like that for a while. They've come a long ways with the old...

They can also Bluetooth to your TV, your television device. Are you shitting me? No, I'm that serious because my grandpa's... So, like, not only grandpas are, like, really trying to tune out their grandkids and wife when they're watching the game, but they can literally pipe the game it directly into their ear canals. Oh, yeah. Be like, will you guys take it out? As a matter of fact, I'm just going to tune you out completely. Are we recording?

We are. Welcome to the Stop Calling Me Squirrel Boy podcast. that's cam i'm jake and we are the grass daddies that's right we are i'm over my lawn yesterday a quick one quick one hang on my guy from work guy from work decided that he goes man i've just been skipping around episodes it kind of sucks i'm just going to start from what he goes it kind of sucks i'm just going to start from day one i thought you meant like he was listening to the podcast and then just straight up told you your podcast sucks he calls you

the funniest the funniest guy than me funnier guy than me the funniest guy than you yeah the funniest guy in the world besides me i like this guy i like this guy have i met him

uh no it's sean but he probably won't care his name's on the podcast i met him oh yeah yeah yeah he did yeah that's the guy that came over we played foosball on a Delavision. Yep. So Cam has prematurely once again

cracked into his mini-fridge without announcing it, which is fine. Oh, but... We have to hold these hands, these people's hands, Cam, when we're doing audio only. Or maybe you can just get away with it. Yeah, well...

You can sneak a drink. Once again, my mini-fridge was just like, Cam. Come here, Cam. was bring to you come here so um before we get too far into this

um I fucked up we had an episode recorded pretty good one like an hour 20 bang I mean they're all bangers I mean I'm the funny scandal um but

so I was trying to do the reverb like I was telling you before and there's this dial that you have to turn on like there's a dial that affects the volume of the sound effect that we have on our soundboard now I was trying to do the echo sound effect but I accidentally turned the the one that's right above it is the low frequency knob so there's like a high frequency low frequency so I turned that one all the way up thinking I was on the sound effects one did my little thing I was trying to do and then I went to turn the sound effects thing off but since I was on the frequency one I turned that one all the way down so all the low frequency sound from my voice which since i'm a male and i have gonads is like a large part of my voice it completely fucked up how i sounded and it made me sound like a 1950s like radio announcer that's awesome no it sounded shitty i was like trying to do

the thing and then i was like the latest news today red socks are at the top of the standing for the American League Wild Card. If I take the high frequency to shut it all the way off, I'm going to sound like Big X, the blog. I don't know. I don't know. And I wouldn't, I mean, you can test it if you want. You're not going to be able to hear it. And I'll be able to hear it when I edit.

I don't want to put it up. So, and truth be told, and I was kind of slack and I'll get in the episode uploaded. But as I was thinking about it, we talked about some not very nice things towards the end of it. Stuff that we at the time thought was pretty funny. And thinking back on it, maybe they weren't the funniest thing.

So maybe it's a sign that we shouldn't have uploaded that. But I mean, and here's a deal. It's not like we have enough of a following to like where we would get canceled or

and it's not like we... It's a comedy podcast. So if you're really canceling us, over that it's not like we're racist or anything and we weren't saying anything to the racist like racial fact it was just more you can literally get canceled for anything yeah but i mean have you ever watched kill tony well and here and and it and it's and it's and it's not like we're um it's like selling ourselves as like put us on put us on the tv for the whole like in the living room and the whole family can watch

like we're not trying to like sell ourselves to like kids that shouldn't be hearing what we're saying anyways. You know what the other problem is? But I still felt weird about it. The world has come to a place where if I was sitting here right now and I called myself a cracker, you know there's going to be some

person that listed this podcast goes, oh my God, he's so racist, he called himself a cracker. Like you think a white person would say that? Yeah. Eh, those are the type of people you just want to avoid. I'm going to crack open my mini fridge. Okay.

I've seen a video on spit it out. I can't remember his name, but his name's Cam. He's an African-American male comedian. He's been on Kiltone. Cam Patterson. Yeah. There was a clip of him like walking in public and he called himself the N-word. And there's some white lady that just says, you shouldn't say that.

Yeah, that lady, that lady's a social justice warrior. I mean, yeah. She has little to no say in the world. People, man, I tell you, people. That's just an interesting fact. I mean, if you're one of them's, um just keep your mouth shut right so i threw down a right to left with a cleanup yesterday in my yard um just to let the whole neighborhood know i'm unfuckutable and as and as i was doing so

i was thinking about the saying you know the grass is always greener and uh i came to realize that everyone is thinking that about my yard i don't have that problem i look at my neighbor's yards and I'm like, they must be very jealous of me. I mean, ladies gentlemen, talk about a fucking ego on this guy. Hey, I claim to be a grass daddy, and I'm, and I stick to it. I mean, if it's the only thing I've got going for me. I mean, I'm a grass farmer. I had a moat for my job today.

I had a mowed my job today. And I was laying down some mean stripes. Just taking me back to the good old days. what were you mowing the waste plant i was just laying down some fucking beads on the old zero turn a zero turn was it a john deer torro bad boy it was a john deer it was a john deer zero turn john deer is it diesel no no it's a geister so when i was working for lps we had i think all of our mowers were diesel Dude, I told Lena, I was like, someday when we're rich, we're living on an acreage, I want to have a bunch of, like, maintained grass, and I want a diesel, John Deer Zero turned, because the smell of that diesel and the cold morning air, the smell of the exhaust, oh, just take me back. Just take me there.

I so today I stopped at Casey's like I said and if you have Casey's rewards and you buy any tobacco product you can get a Zen can for free I was like oh my God you know how many people I know that would just have a wet dream over this and I thought about Colin Ben instantly and then I thought about Colin Spencer and then I thought about calling Zane I'm like I thought about calling 90% of your friends oh yeah I was like God Oh, dang, free can of Zins, even though I don't use Zins, because they kind of hate, like... So you went from Vap to Zins. To Zins to Vap. To rogues, to VIII. Oh, wait, wait, no. I went from...

I went from Vap to Zins, to Rokes, to Zens, to Ons, to... to um okay so you know how you wanted to try every single energy drink i have i've mastered nicotine pouches the ones that they like sell regularly i've had every single one of them besides like ones that you got to order online i haven't done that but went from zins to rogues to The vape to Grizzly Nicotine Pouches To Alps

To Bellows And now I'm on bellows Velo? Yeah Bellow Velo Velo

They're called Are they Velo or Velo? I don't know Same shit I don't know Did I ever tell you About my When Early

Gave me A Zinn? Yeah Yeah I think we talked about it on the pod Didn't we Well I can't remember

I think so yeah that was like our first episode that we did um no uh video video graphs oh really yeah um yeah fucking those things are no joke i saw did you see the one video of the there was i don't even know what it was for but it was these guys on a on a stage and it was like the guy took his in for the first time and then it kind of like flashes forward like 15, 20 minutes, and you can like see him like kind of like unsettled in his seat, like kind of stirring around. And then he like puts his like fist over his mouth and he just completely throws up. Oh. Have you seen that video? No. I don't understand how it makes you so nauseous.

Because. Like how does the buzz from nicotine, even if you're not gutting it? Like, I was spitting it, and you can gut it, Zins, because there's no tobacco. Because you put it up in your lip, and through your mouth is the fastest way to get into your bloodstream. I know, but having that nicotine, like that buzz in your bloodstream, how does that cause nausea? Yeah, I mean, I don't know, because, like, you got to think, really, now that you're saying, that's kind of a fair point, because you've got to drink a lot of beers to have, like, a buzz to the point, or, like, be drunk enough to the point where you're, you're like,

I got to throw up. Like, I'm saying. Was it our fault? No, no, Robert and I explicitly wanted you guys to know that it was not your fault. Oh, cut the horse. It is 150% your fault. I'm so glad you picked up on what I was saying. Yeah.

Some might call it inane babble, but I knew that you were, you were spouting some quote there. But like how, what I'm saying is how does it physiologically induce nausea on the human body by being in the bloodstream? And I got a computer three inches of my left and I could look it up. But I'd rather us just bounce it back and forth off each other and make people mad that know exactly why. it tickles the puky nerve i don't know maybe it's because um i looked this up the other day and i can't remember why but like one can of zins at six milligrams has like the same amount of nicotine that a whole carton of cigarettes has are you shitting me i hang on hang on i got to look this one up okay i do have a theory which may not be as fun as as thinking i don't know man it's just it makes your body tingle

and i'll wait because i know you even though you have ADHD i know you can't really when you're googling something and i start talking to you you're not going to be able listen to me but um the can't currently googling okay um six to seven milligrams of nicotine is the equivalent of having two to two to three cigarettes so one zin one six milligrams in is like having three cigarettes at once yes so and that makes me that makes me kind of sad well no it makes me kind of worried because I've been on a kick of two in nine and twelve milligramers.

Oh my God. And 12 milligram is four plus. It just says four plus. Plus. But eight to ten is three to four cigarettes at one time. But. So I have a theory. I think I might have a theory.

So if you think about it, why does your body why does your body throw up or have diarrhea it's when your body is trying to expel or reject something quickly that it doesn't

want in it right yeah so I think for someone like me that has like zero tolerance it's got this chemical in it that it's not familiar with and it's going what is this and it's sounding the alarm and trying to get it out.

That's probably for people why they get sick the first time because it's a chemical introduced to the body's bloodstream that it's not aware of and it thinks it's dangerous and it's trying to get it out. And not only that, you're at a very high rate of that said chemical. This says, this says, a full pack of 20 cigarettes results in about 20 to 40 milligrams of absorbed nicotine. nicotine pouches range widely in strength from 6 milligram to 50 milligram.

I don't know who the fuck's doing a 50 milligram zen, but yeah. Yeah, so, um, wait, okay, this is a completely different deal, but... Okay. 11 to 17 milligrams of nicotine is the equivalent to 10 to 20 cigarettes. Oh my God. It probably depends on, like, the brand, the length, the potence, you know, I don't know if there's different potencies of cigarettes or not, but. So, depending one to two nicotine pouches to deliver the similar nicotine dose as one pack of cigarettes. That's kind of crazy.

So, to summarize it all, you wanted to get. that in your body for free by going into Casey's today. Oh, yeah. I went to Casey's, and I've been on a bit of a cream pie kick, pause, but I didn't. And I got my cream pie, and I set it down on the counter, you know, with our girl. Oh, she was there? Yeah, I was giving my cream pie, and I went, and I went, oh, my, Oh, man.

And she was like, what? And I was like, I'm just, I'm so excited. And she's like, you're excited? I was like, I love creep pies. And then I went, um, I mean, I'd ask you if you like cream pies, but you talk about that goddamn baby so much that I know what the answer is. You actually said that to her? No, none of that happened.

But I always, I'm waiting. Whenever I get the cream pie, and for me that don't know, I'm talking about an oatmeal cream pie. I'm not talking about going in the back and letting a homeless man just inject me. But I'm waiting. I'm so waiting because I have the podcast in mind. I'm waiting for the day where I slap it down on the counter. And she goes, oh, cream pot. Because, you know, that would totally be the type of thing she would do is.

Because, because just the other day. No, no, no, hang on, hang on. This is exactly what you'd say. Oh, cream pies. I crave those when I was pregnant with my baby. She just goes, I've had a few of them. No. But, like, have you seen the Reese's Oreo combination thing?

Yeah, yeah. like i put that down on the counter the other day and she went have you had this yet so she's totally the kind of person to comment on something you'd put down on the counter and be like do you like this it's like i'm buying it dude they're so mid so i hate they're so trash there it was okay it wasn't life changing no but anyway so i'm sure i'm just waiting for the day that i slap that thing down and she goes oh cream pie huh and i'm just gonna i'm just going to look her dead in the eyes and be like, I love cream pies and just see what she does because I know whatever her response is going to be is going to be good podcast content.

So I'm waiting. What are you going to do if she just goes, yeah, I love cream pies. That's why I have a kid. I don't know if she'd say that. But if she says, I like cream pies too, I'd be like, I mean, you do have a kid. Like, I'm, I think I could say that. And that wouldn't be too far. It wouldn't be like sexual harassment.

I don't think so. Okay, perfect. Who cares? I mean, it's sexual. She's sexually harassing my ears by telling me so much about her kid. It's like, I don't want to think about you fucking. I don't want to think about that birth. I don't want to think about that birth canal.

I don't want to think about you getting basted like the Thanksgiving turkey. The next time she talks about her goddamn baby, I'm going to be like, did you eat your placenta? though because it's healthy there's a lot of health benefits to it gross that's nasty shit so I didn't actually say that but are we crossing the line yet

I mean let us know have we crossed the line people are going to want to know what we talked about in the last episode dude this Mike's heart is fucking terrible like what I don't complain about alcohol but this mics i got cracked open over here oh my god i i i'm open on a white claw what is okay it's the mike's hard freeze white freeze i don't know it what is it how's that how's it different

i don't know it does does not taste like without the health benefits yeah yeah no it's got health benefits I worked out the other day did you yeah I've been on a health kick besides besides

I've seen you drink three different alcoholic beverages in the 20 minutes since we've started I'm not eating tonight I'm getting my calories from beer all right

Okay, so I know you're going to say Well, no shit, dumbass No, no, no, what have you been doing? But, so I went worked out And I went with Sean and we went worked out And we went fucking hard Sure

So I can't hardly move my fucking arm Sure, I mean I don't I don't blame you because Like right here? No, like I legit It's not like all the farther I can go

and I think I fucked up like just I just getting into it I should have probably went did some cardio some light lifting no I was fucking PR maxing I know I would I don't blame you because I would do the exact same thing I'd be like I want to get back into it and I would go way too hard on the first time and I'd be so goddamn sore well so you really got to ease into it yeah and my pre workout was bad so well it was like expired it And Sean's like, bring it over. I want some of that. I'm like, dude, you got to take that shit easy. It's not like drinking an energy drink, okay? That shit is like way hopped up more than energy drinks. Anyway, so. Actually, you can do, like, you can fuck yourself up if you take too much of that.

Yeah, so my pre-workout, I took two red bulls and a white claw and mixed them all together and just downed it. I thought you were talking about pre-workout powder. I was, but mine was bad. So I didn't have pre-workout, but we had a couple of reds. Bulls at the house. A white claw? Dude, no. I'm fucking telling you.

When I'm back, when I'm numb the body up. It does. I swear to God. No, it just hops me up. So, we go. Oh, I love you.

We like doing arms. And so they got like these machines that are just kind of in a circle. So Sean starts. I watched him go. And I was like, all right. And then we just started working around the circle. sure super set for like an hour for an hour and I was like yeah I'll do that then that then I'll hit a beer

then you hit that then I'll I'll do I'll do legs we're talking about doing legs Wednesday I'm like I gotta get I got to get some reps in here I'm fucking hopped up now I got the juice I got some rock playing I'm just amped up ready to go so Sean you're like come on let's you're like come on what we'll super set it with a shotgun so you hit the leg like the leg extension drop down, do 10 quick, pound them out, and then do a shotgun. And then... And then we'll do shoulder press.

So, Sean's like, all right, fine, whatever. And no fucking warm up. He gets on there. Maxes out the machine, 500 pounds. On what? Leg press. Oh, shit. So I'm like, eh.

I know what my, like, I don't know if, deadlift and and so he did 10 reps of 500 on leg press. Jesus. So I'm like, all right, fuck it. I'm like, I'm not doing 500. Watch me do it with one leg.

I'm like, I'm not doing 500, but I don't know what the equivalent to leg press and deadlift is, but I knew what my deadlift max in high school was. And it was like 320, but I was also only like... You should be able to do more on leg press. 150 pounds

Right And I haven't worked out In 4 fucking ever So I get up there And I just put it in 390 10 reps I'm like Yeah leg press

You should be able to do a lot more Well Than straight deadlift So And And then we're sitting there And I'm like Eh fuck it

And I moved it up a little bit more But I started to get like I don't know if it was like my testosterone was getting boosted or what but when we were working out when I first sat down the stuff that I'm like oh I can start with this easy that was like heavy

sure and then I for some reason like after our first couple rounds I got the like the mentality you know like when you just feel like you're fucking untouchable like you legit you probably had some adrenaline going and so I just started fucking i was on the row machine i was rowing like 200 pounds that or your white claw was kicking in i don't know and i think that's why right here hurts really fucking bad sure no i know at that spot yeah if you do like did you do like

bicep curls uh yeah we did uh well and the the machine they have for like bicep curls hang on Let me sit my stand down on my mic. Yeah, demonstrate. Give me a demonstration. It has the, here let me sit you over here so I can. So it has like the swiveling, like swiveling deals. So it's like on the machine and it comes down like by your legs. So I was just hitting the old straight up and then I'd come down and go like this and then just fucking keep.

Like working the outside. So you were doing like hammer curls and regular curls. Yeah. And I would just do. Like switching in between. 20 and switch. So 10 of each. You're like, I would just max out the machine, do 20.

No. No. Just to warm up. One second. Keep going with this. I got to turn my light on. I feel like that. What do you mean?

You're the one telling me a story. Hang on. You're like, keep going. Hold on. you're telling me about you working out but yeah and then we went and it didn't hurt the day after but the next day i think what happened was is i slept with my arm like this like up by my head they can't see but you can see you know what i'm talking about yeah yeah and i wonder if like the day after my muscles were sore and then that the second day was like okay my muscles are

going to start healing while I'm sleeping and they fucking started healing like this and now they're fucking like tight like you like you glued the muscle fiber started reattachinging in that position I feel like when I go like this with my arm it feels like my bicep is ripping in four places I believe it dude so we have not worked out yet this week again yeah you got it you got you got an easier way back into it and then next time I would go light and then multiple reps to just try to get blood flowing in that area well and i mean because the heavier you go the more muscle fibers you're going to rip up well and like yeah like i didn't i don't know why i was just so amped up to like work out again like i'm like man i really want to get healthy like i'm not unhealthy

now i'm just like because when you get your heart because when you get your heart and soul locked on to something it consumes you for however long you're into it so if you go i'm gonna start working out you're gonna be a fucking like you're gonna think cam was a fucking like gold's gym fucking muscle head well in the next week or so and then i also think my problem is is i didn't do like any workup you know what i mean like i went to curls and which i had it like 70 sure so i it was just like i don't know like Like you said, I didn't get my muscles loosened up, and then I just go from, like, curling, like, really, well, most people are probably like, oh, this guy's a pussy. But, I mean, 70 pounds, that's a pretty decent curl, I feel like.

Any movement that you haven't done in a while with resistance is just going to start shredding up the muscle fibers. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, you could do any activity that you haven't done in a while. like you could fucking go bowling and if you hadn't bowled in a while you're going to find yourself being sore yeah true

in the areas of your body that you were using I don't know it fucking I'm so sore hey keep at it I mean my legs aren't because I use my legs all the time I want to see it before and after I want to see you shred it up

okay are you going to get on a cycle oh yeah I'm going to start taking fucking Windstrawl. Rad 140. I'm doing a fucking, I'm doing a cycle of trend. Just a TRT.

Dude, yeah, I'm shooting up. Just testosterone. There was this guy in there. There was this guy in there that's just like sitting there and like. Just staring at himself. He's not. What I hate about going to the gym is when you have you have big guys that are like, Like, okay, yeah, this is good to see.

This guy that, you know, that's not huge or they're in here working out. Right. But, no, this guy is just like staring at everybody. Like, oh, I'm fucking bigger than you. I'm like, dude, you are so hopped up on fucking steroids. His biceps were about as big as around as my fucking head. And his legs literally were fucking tiny. Like, his legs looked like my arms.

And also when you see like ripped up people at the gym, you're like, you're done. Like, you don't need to be. be here anymore you you met the goal i need to be i need to be here for a while but like you're done have you ever seen you beat the mission you beat the campaign have you ever seen the game douchebag simulator no or it's called it's actually called douchebag so you start out as like this skinny dude and then you work your way up to be huge and then you like you get points on how many chicks you've got and all this shit this sounds like a fun game and i was like That's what this fucking guy is.

Like, he's at the max level. Yeah, and he's just fucking walking around acting like he's like, I mean, yeah, like, I'm, it's good for you, dude, that you're that big. But like, don't stare and look at everybody else like, oh, look at this fucking pansy. It's like he, it's like you're lifting and you like, he walks by and he's like, what, huh? What do you say? And you like, take your headphones off. And you're like, what?

He's like, do you say something? You're like, I grunted. I was lifting weight. yeah oh i thought you were talking shit and the other thing that i kind of hate is i i want to go away from the machines a little bit because they have like a full like loose weight in there

free weights yeah free weights but because i went to go curl like i think i grabbed 60s in dumbbells and i couldn't do it but i can do it on the machine yeah the machines not that what you're doing isn't doing anything but the weight is not like a true assessment of how much you're doing because there's cables and you know everything's on like tracks and it's

stabilized so you're not using any of the muscles used for like balancing the weight yeah and and who knows what kind of leverage extra leverage you're getting on because if you think about it if it's a stack of plates there's a there's pulleys and you're like pulling on one thing that's pulling on a pulley going up and down and that's like taking essentially half the weight away because of physics yeah and i mean yeah i mean mechanic there's a thing called you know like it's the things you see in the yeah they see the things in the buildings that you lift really heavy shit and they're on chains and you can scoot them across the building and lower them down that's all mechanical advantage and this isn't to discount anything

Because if you're isolating the muscle and you're feeling the tension and straining your muscle, then you're doing something. Once again, like I just said... But you can't curl 70 pounds on a bicep machine and then pick up two 70-pound dumbbells and expect to have the same result. Yeah, like I just said, though, is if you see some like super skinny guy come in, you're like, oh my God, you're only curling 20, like, just shut the fuck up. At least he's in here doing something with his life. He could be a morbidly obese person just sitting at his house eating pizza. Well, it's kind of silly when you think about the fact that, like, all of weightlifting is relative to the person. So, like, if 20 pounds is heavy for him and 50 pounds is light for you, then he could be saying, why aren't you doing 80s, pussy?

Like, it's the same thing. Yeah. If the weight is light for you and heavy for him, then you need to do more. You look at people that are like into calisthenics. Sure, like CrossFit. Well, no, like just like, like core strength and like all that shit. You know, you see the guys doing the crazy ass pull-ups. Yeah, CrossFit.

Well, yeah. I'm like, them guys. Like body weight stuff. Yeah, that looks so much more pleasing. than just being fucking ripped out of your mind having an all around like muscular body

I think looks a lot better than being so big you can't even scratch part of your back you're like you're like this you're like babe can you scratch the back of my head there was

there was a guy in there that was like grunting so aggressively and was not very heavy weight I'm like dude really like I was kind of your logic you got to be nice to him I know but I was kind of being judgy about that I'm like dude

you just immediately went back on what you said no I hate like over grunting I guess like being loud for the sake of getting attention yeah I'm like nobody cares that much about but anyways that's my okay speaking of being loud and getting your adrenaline up. Do you know what tomorrow is?

Saturday, the Cornhuskers by week. Nope, tomorrow's Friday. No, tomorrow's Friday, Friday, sorry. And it is also the Lincoln Star's home opener. Oh, fuck! I was at work

and I walked up to Ben and I went, do you know what Friday is? He's like, what? it. I was like, it's the Star's Home Opener, and he went, shut up. Are you guys going? And we're going. Fucking A. We're going. I'll send you bids, and try not to give you FOMO.

Well, I mean, I'm going to get FOMO anyways, because it's the Linkin Stars, but we'll have fun of time. We might tailgate it, too. We got a tailgate when I come down there, but the only thing that sucks is it's going to be fucking freezing-ass cold. Were you there at the cold?

tailgate the first time we did it we never tailgated so you never so you never tailgated it so we did it twice but we never did i did it with spencer conner and ben once and it was freezing ass cold and my tailgate it was when my tailgate actuator was still fucked up so i couldn't hardly struggled to get my tailgate down and it was so cold we ended up just eating in the truck um did you take your and then yeah i took a not the big one but i have like a mini one and i got some mini propane tanks um and made like some burgers and brats that was fun dude when i come down i don't give it again we are cover old up tailgating i'm down all right let's go let's go let's go let's plan it when i have a weekend off and we'll do it like fucking oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

we'll do it on a Saturday when when the stars play on a Saturday and I have that Saturday off go all day I was telling people at work like it's fun it's fun but and Gabe was like is there like a lot of people that do it and I was like no I was like when we do it we're the only car in the parking lot and there's like you and L students that are walking by like what is going like what is that well he's doing um But I don't give a fuck. I want you talking about tailgating. I want you to come back sometime.

We're talking about, so my sister-in-law, she cheers for you and K. I don't know if you knew that. Yep. I did. Oh, no. Okay, we're good. I was going to say you need to refresh your screen. Anyways, we went to the one game.

Holy fucking tailgate. Really? A football game Lots full at you and K It legit Look like you're at a Husker game Everybody has huge tent set up We walk past this one tent

That had five TV set up Underneath their tent And had all different football games on Oh I I would never leave Lena I'm just kidding But I wish she shared

The same enthusiasm for like college football as me i've i've tried to talk to her about it and she's like i just i get bored and i'm like i get it and but she does say she would enjoy like the party aspect of it yeah because i was like it'd be so fun to have a tailgating spot because that is literally my shit it's partying like smoking meat like if it's like a night game go early in the morning and have it like you know what I mean and then college football I mean you got you got it's my wet dream tailgate spot you got two smokers going you got a tent up four TVs all different football games you got bags in the back

people are coming bags you're sitting there drinking everybody's having a good time yeah why wouldn't it be that's like any drinkers or anybody that loves football is wet dream I was so fucking happy when Bailey goes Even if you don't like drinking or football It's still it's a party It's still you're hanging out With people and playing games I was so happy

I think So Bailey goes I want to go tailgating Like yeah we got to find a place to tailgate And like somebody we know that's tailgaining And she's like no I mean go down to the rail yard but honestly at the rail yard i even kind of get like i i wonder if that's why i wonder if lena doesn't get overstimulated at the like rail yard like there's so many people there

yeah but once the husser game comes on everybody's like which that's how i am but there's nothing else to do but at the same time and watch football but at the same time if you're at the rail yard you're not going to watch the husker game you're going to pretend to be watching it you're going to stand there and watch the screen but you're not going to remember anything that happened fair point and you're not going to be fully paying attention to it like if you want to go to the rail yard you're not actually going to be watching the husker game as in you're not going to be taking it in fully that's for sure that's why i like i wish i knew somebody that had a tailgate like a tailgate spot that's the thing too

you can't just go and tailgate the Husker games like downtown is so packed full of people you can't just like pick a random parking spot and go and the tailgating areas they have certain areas that you can drink at in public like you can't just pick a random parking lot and just tailgate well and they like literally you have to like buy tailgating spots in some areas like some parking lots especially ones like closer to the stadium like you can't even you can't even get those some of them you can't even buy them

it's like you have to be like a fucking multi-thousand dollar donor to the university to even get a spot there it's like it's like you can't you can't just do it yourself you like you said you have to know someone

and go to theirs and that's why like the you and K and that's why I want to go do it is because you can do all the same shit there as you could in Lincoln, but you get to go watch a game for cheaper. And not only that, there was, like, banks that had their own tailgates and had, like, fucking trailer smokers, like huge smokers. And you could go there.

Oh, my God. You could go there and buy a meal. That's fucking sick. Yeah, but the one tailgate I walked by, they have, like, two smokers, and they welded like a bracket to go in their hitch. So they had two pickups parked in the tent and everything was set up in between them. I'm like, do we have to go inside of the game?

Were you getting FOMO? Were you getting FOMO? These guys? Yeah. I was like, this is fucking sweet. Let's do it. I mean, one of these weekends off while it's still football season, we'll go to one.

My in-laws want to go and have a tailgate. fuck yeah so yeah we'll have to figure out like sometime we'll figure it out yeah because that's fucking sweet but anyways we'll get in the lab um i'm trying to think what i was gonna oh yeah we were when we went down to the rail yard a couple weekends ago um we went down for the fucking houston christian whatever um we were walking to the rail yard and there was these people that had a setup and it was like they had like I don't know how to describe it you know Jumbotron

screens where you can like put pieces of them together to make a bigger screen. Yeah. They had like that and we were like what the fuck, that's not a TV, that's like that's not a screen is it? Because we saw the behind of it and it was like 10 feet tall by like

8 feet wide or I don't know what it was and then like we walked around it and I was like holy fucking shit that is a screen. but it had like an eight frames per second it was like 30 fps and i was like oh like it was kind of shitty but well it when i start making it was still sick as hell once i'm like rich right i want to i didn't realize that you could take small TVs or smaller TVs and hook them all like oh yeah but play separate games

I don't want to do that in my garage, but I don't know. But see, then again, there are some people that literally, like, some people have hobbies of fishing. Some people have hobbies of golfing. Some people's hobby is literally fucking tailgating football. Yeah. I mean, some people, I mean, there's people that, like, live and breathe Husker football. Yeah, I mean, I do. But, like, specifically the party aspect of it and hanging out.

for which i could get into i have learned is always always the one that like love getting fucked up fast i mean it's it's fun to get fucked up but i have learned that pacing yourself to everybody else's pace is so much more fun because everybody else is riding the same wave everybody's on the same wavelength. I love how self-aware you're becoming. What? I said I love how self-aware you're becoming. I mean, is it not fun?

Like, when everybody's riding the same wave? Yes. Yeah. I mean, do you remember, folks, I'm going to tell you a little story. And Cam, if you want to, Cam, just know that this is with just know that this is with love when camden turned 21 years old we're still working together at the course

we're planning on going out for his birthday it was in December it was on Tuesday night or Wednesday I can't remember when we went out but I told you I said cam do not drink when you get home because we're going out everybody always said pace yourself i was like if you're going to drink when you get home before we leave have like two or if that but i was like don't drink because you're going to get way ahead of

everyone else and i get over to your apartment before we go downtown or not downtown but we were bar hopping small town bar hopping yeah and i go how many have you had and you go six and i was like like i wasn't mad and i wasn't even necessarily frustrated but i just knew that potentially this could cause an issue yeah and i it's not like i can control you or i you know whatever you can handle is what you can handle but like i haven't had anything yet a lot of the people here haven't had anything yet like it's your 21st birthday and we end up going downtown now someone ended up buying you a bunch of shots which wasn't yeah like didn't bode well for the situation but i've honestly like you said is like one or two shots fine

but don't like back to back them spread them out throughout the day don't drink the shots like beers yeah and i mean because i understand that now because okay so the way i see that it like you were just saying and what you just said is exactly what I've learned so if I have seven beers before everybody else starts drinking and then you come over and you start drinking by the time you're getting a good buzz I'm fucked up because you're matching what I'm drinking yeah and so we're going like beer for beer but if I've already had six and you're just starting after if I've had six okay so you have three beers to get a three beer buzz going that's 7, 8, and 9 for me.

Right. Exactly. You're understanding my frustrations. I mean, like my, like the first annual cornhole tournament. It was, I don't know, we went, this isn't you, we started at like seven-ish. Yeah. But people were showing up probably around 6 or 6.30, having their first drinks as we were getting ready to eat food. and our good buddy spencer came stumbling out of his truck and i go oh my god like how many beers have you

had and he goes 15 yeah i don't know if that number is true but he said 15 before he even arrived before the party had even started and i'm like oh my god but to his credit to his credit he you know it's not he stuck around and you know he can he can hang and he went the whole time and it's not like he left earlier or anything because he was too drunk but he was way ahead of everyone before we even started see and that's the problem though is like I can if I'm like six or seven beers ahead of somebody I can still maintain if I keep drinking beer but once I start switching that's where it becomes my downfall where I'm like

just getting fucked up to put a caveat on this there's no set rule for this I'm not saying what Spencer did was wrong I mean you know he's got his own he's got his own way of partying it's not like

I know it's not like there's any set rule or code or syllabus to follow when it comes to drinking and partying all I'm saying is that if you get way ahead of everyone else and I've done it too you're going to tap yourself out

before the party gets over and you're not going to be able to go the distance me and Zane it's like it's like it's like if you're taking off in a race and you sprint to start yeah you got to jog literally it's a marathon not a sprint

it was kind of like one time me Ben Spencer and Zane I think you were out of town or something. We were like, oh, let's go have drinks. And we all started drinking at the same time. So we're all like beer drunk. Well, then Ben and Spencer.

Getting the same buzz level. Yeah, Ben and Spencer called it. And me and Zane were like, yeah, fuck it. Let's go to Cappies. And we went to Cappies and Zane bought like four shots, four tequila shots. Which that's a different story because like, okay, now he's buying shots for both of us and we're on the same wave. Okay, now I understand what the night's becoming. It's going to be a quick night.

We're going to get fucked up. We're going to go home. And you're all at the same pace. Yeah, exactly. We're all the same drunk. Now, now I understand why you're always like, God damn it, Kim. Like, fucking just lock the fuck in and quit being like that. I understand.

And I would never, and I would never be like, see, this is why, you know, I would never, it's, you're your own person and you can decide what you want to do and you control yourself but it does it can be frustrating sometimes when like um like let's say for example and i'm not making in a i'm not making a reference to anything but let's say for example we went like downtown to like the rail yard or something and let's say i had the intentions of going all day and it was a morning game and someone in your friend group got too drunk and ends up having to take you home early. It's like, well, my day's over at 4 p.m. Because you got too drunk because you were going too fast.

And you ruined my weekend off. Well, I definitely know one time we went downtown and we were kind of going all day because the girls were going to meet us down there. And then we got to JJ's and I'm like, oh, fuck it. I'm going to have a beatbox. And I had two beatboxes. And then at that point, I was, like, fucked up. And the girls just got down there.

So, and that was the time, that was the time that you told me you were tired of being my babysitter. I told you that? Yeah, in the car. That's when I almost got in the fight with the guy over beer pong. I told you I was tired of being your babysitter? Yeah, because me and Lena were partners. Right. And the guy was pissing me off.

That was so drunk. I don't give a fuck. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I don't care. I'll admit it. No, and, and for people, so. But no, I'm saying there is I see where you're coming from. When me, I was acting like it's a sprint and not a jog, so I'm getting fucked up way faster than everybody else.

And so then you do be kind of become a babysitter. You're like, oh, fuck, we got to make sure, you know. Well, let me say this for you. And you can correct me if I'm wrong, but in that time. you were kind of in a weird headspace and you were really angsty and you had a lot of pent-up aggression and it was like there was a level of drunkenness where it would come to the surface yeah and i haven't noticed that with you at all recently like you've kind of been figuring yourself out you know you move back to home where you're closer to family but like i mean i'm not

going to lie. That shit still does happen. But a lot of the times when it does happen... Right, but there would be times where it would boil over. There'd be times where it would boil over. But that's also the type of person I am. But like, me and Bailey talked about

like getting that out before it comes to the point where you're around everybody that you love and you want to have fun with everybody and then you end up ruining it because you have all that pipped up aggression. Talk about it before. get it out of there clear the headspace and just go and you and i you and i had had conversations

about that kind of thing too where like when there's things and i and i like pleaded with you like like when you were drunk and these were happening i would say please if you ever have anything bothering you or anything on your mind that you want to get off your chest let's have an open discussion about it set your mind at ease like it's not healthy to bottle up emotions about whatever and then and then the alcohol makes it all come out and then it's yeah it gets ugly because i think everybody when you're drinking alcohol gets into a state of like some people oh yeah some people alcohol the way i see well not the way i see alcohol because that makes me seem like an alcoholic but a lot of people when you drink a lot and a lot regularly alcohol becomes your venting

point and where I was before I moved was like I'm so glad I fucking moved like it sucks because a lot of times I'm like I do get fomo I'm like man I wish I was parting with Jake and Ben and Spencer and all of them but then again I'm also like I mean it's weird because you're around somebody so much that you learn people's like triggers like to piss them off you know what i mean like they're small shit and then you pick up on it and you don't even realize you're doing it right it's it's what happens when you get roommates yeah it happened when i had roommates i would um you learn to like hate people that you love and it's like weird it's yeah it yeah i i've learned that um because there was there was at one point

we we had discussed the potential of like moving in together or like what if we were roommates and I should have told you I don't want to do that I do not want to live with you because I enjoy the time I spend with you and I know that if we became roommates I would start to dislike you like I would start to resent you maybe I wouldn't but I wouldn't I didn't want to risk it because I was like we already worked together if we became roommates we'd be spending every waking moment to together and we would start to be at each other's throats whether we liked it or not and i know like uh also it sucks because like we don't have the video element and we did take a long time jake was finding people to fill in but i really feel like us not working together and us being in separate places has made the podcast so much easier oh you know what i mean because like all this shit that i'm telling you right now and everybody that's listening i would have already told you exactly it's like it might not have been in the same way we can put our friendship on hold until we can put it on the internet and i honestly we don't just we don't

talk as much as we like used to every day when we're working together well no we'd be face to face elbow to elbow at work i mean i feel like honestly we've became a lot closer being so far apart I would, I mean, that's just like what I'm saying. Like, I'll just, I'll just be completely honest. Like, when I was roommates with, like, Trace and Cole and Corbyn, you want to move in with your friends and it's fun at first, but then you start to pick up on, like, certain habits of theirs that you don't like, or you spend so much time together that now hanging out doesn't have the same flair that it would. and after moving out with those guys my relationship with them became like better and healthier just from not living with them

and being around them constantly well I mean you even told me the one time that like you and Corbin and even like you and Trace pretty much quit talking and barely seen each other and then once you guys all went your separate ways all got different places to stay

you started to see each other a lot more often right we started hanging out and enjoying it my favorite thing uh about like me moving way is now when we're like we're going to lincoln i'm like oh my god yes like i'm going to go fucking see jake i'm going to go hang out with jake instead of so exciting it's a treat living together or like living so close together it's like all right i'm going to go over to jake's house we're probably going to just do our same old same old thing right we're going to split wood and drink yeah now it's like it's like it's like you said it's a fucking tree and it's

it's a double-edged sword like I wish I could be closer enough to be like oh if we want to go do this like the spur of the moment shit we could do it but then again I'm also like the FOMO and not being able to see each other all the time

makes it so much more worth it when we do see each other right I think it's I mean I think it's unrealistic to to be friends with someone and see them every day. It's like, I don't know.

I think it's healthier. Yeah. It's healthier to not see, I mean, I feel like I've seen you more than I've seen Trace and we live in the same city. Just, you know, when you become an adult and you have different things prioritized,

like you're not in high school together anymore. You're not going to see each other all the time. Yeah. But, yeah, I 100% agree with you. I think it's, it makes it healthier and it makes you look forward to it. It's like a, it's like a treat. It's like a vacation. I mean, honestly, I definitely got to the point because the person I am, like, when even in high school, if I'd have, like, friends come stay the night and they'd stay for the whole week, by, like, weekend, by the time, by the end of it, I'm like, dude, just shut the fuck up and, like, leave.

Dude. I'm getting over you a shit. I, 100% know what you're talking. about i had a kid on my baseball team my select baseball team when i was in like middle school or whatever um and like we were good buddies on the baseball team and we ended up like i think it was a weekend we ended up going to like my grandparents house and grand island and like my aunt and uncles and like by the like second or third day he was annoying the fucking shit out of me and i didn't know why. I was like, I can't

really like, I don't want to be mad at you. I don't want to be annoyed by you, but for whatever reason, just your fucking voice is like grating on my nerves. It's weird. Honestly, there was like, not to be a dick, but there was a couple times, and I'm assuming you were the exact same way, but there was a couple times

when we went on spurts, like, hanging out every day when we were like splitting wood and doing this and doing that. It was like, God, like fuck. I'm just like, you just saying something, to me is just like fucking triggering something inside my fucking head and I'm like

yeah I mean I knew how to push your buttons shut the fuck up I knew how to push your buttons and I know I definitely would sometimes and I would like it's so weird because it's like I know what I'm about to say is going to make him mad and I don't want to like I love Cam and like he's my best friend and I don't want to like hurt his feelings but it's like the devil's

inside me and it's like making me yeah i don't know if it's like a part of being a guy but it's like there's like i don't know it's like a reflex like i have to say this thing that i know is gonna piss him off yeah it's so weird i mean most of the time

is fine like but once you get to the point of like hanging out it gets old all the time and you're like you know this pisses me off and you keep fucking doing it right but you got to think like we do that shit all the time that's what we do but

it becomes on a more serious level when you get to the point where you're hanging out all the fucking time and seeing each other all the time it's like this it's like guys are guy friends are always going to bust each other's balls yeah when you're together but if you do it so much it gets old yeah it's like it just gets like all right i get it yeah like all right now you're just pissing me off we said this plenty of times but but you can't help it yeah i don't know i'm like glad i mean it's not like a brag but like the other day i had 25 beers and five shots well actually i had like 30 beers and five shots

but we spanned it out through the entire day like I was pacing not pacing I was still on a pace of like okay yeah we're gonna drink and get fucked up but it's not like I'm getting fucked up now you went the distance yeah and it was so much more fun because everybody's

like we were just talking about riding the same wave and I feel like that goes like in different shit other than just drinking oh yeah when you're on the same wavelength with someone it it's like it's like you're able to relate with other people around you if you're in a completely different headspace you can't really like give yourself over to the you know the conversations you're having and like the headspace everyone else is in well it's like it's like you it's like you guys are on a different frequency that's not hitting at the same time yeah and then i don't know if that makes any sort of sense but you were just talking about

like you're on different wavelengths but then at one point somebody tries to come down and like meet on the same wavelength but it's like mentally we're not and then you just get frustrated right i mean everybody i mean me and you we drink our fair share but we definitely walk into bars and be like look at this fucking drunk idiot just because he's more fucked up than us you're like oh this guy's fucking hammered We've all fucking been there, but we're all, it's not like you walk in, you walk into a bar fucked up, this guy's in the bar fucked up, you get along with the guy. But you walk in there Stone Cold Sober and this guy's fucked up, you don't get along. Right. Oh no, that was a really long, that was a really long talk about that, but like we said, we make a podcast.

So if you don't want to listen to it, fuck you. Right. I'm just kidding. Guess what? We talk about whatever we want on this beach. You don't get shit. I was going to retell the, I was going to retell the ish text, but we can save that for another episode. I mean, we've gone a full hour.

Let's let that one just mold over since I already already heard it. Yeah. We'll let, yeah, we'll let that one mold over. We'll let it fester. Yeah, I'm going to see. Should we leave him on a cliffhanger? Should we leave him on a cliffhanger? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, on the last episode that we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we leave him on a cliffhanger. that we recorded that we ended up not uploading um again sorry about that i fucked up i was trying to be funny and i fucked it up that was that was one thing i wanted to talk about um but i'll i'll put it in my notes and uh and we'll talk about on the next episode but one of the other things that i did was i told cam i read him off a very funny text message that someone at my work um texted to me and the other kind of bosses at our job, but it was the funniest fucking text, and I read it off to Cam and got his genuine reaction,

which sucks that I'm not going to be able to get your genuine reaction anymore. You might. I forget a lot of things. I told that to Ben today at work. I was like, I'm going to have to scrap the episode, and I got Cam's genuine reaction. He's like, maybe you could just save that, and I was like, no, I just, the fact that my voice sounds so.

weird i i fucking it's not like we have like a like thousands of followers but i still want to try to put out a good product anyways but also also i feel like what you're talking about takes away from it being funny you know what i mean like right it kind of seems like you're trying to be overly funny so like when people try to be overly funny it's like hyping up a joke and everybody's like oh right but like what i was telling him was um Um, you know, I got his genuine reaction, but, you know, the way the cam consumes alcohol, he'll probably forget the whole thing. I'll, I'll be able to get another good reaction out of him later.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Especially if you're at a higher pace than normal, but I'm just kidding. Um, so I, I don't know. I think that's pretty much going to do. You're coming down next weekend. Yeah. So we'll do, in person.

I'll try to, I'll try to, I'll try to, podcast. Right, right in the OG studio. I'll try to get this one uploaded. Who knows? We might do like we did when Jake was here and do a recap, because I know we are planning on going downtown, so we might have some stories for you guys. We might not.

It's a double-edged sword, as Cam likes to say. Yeah, we'll run the case and get some cream pies. So, yeah, you're coming down. We'll be in the OG studio. I'll upload this. I'll try to get some of your audio right away after this. I might have it true. And I'll try to get this when you come down.

To reveal on the pod. Yeah. I got something cooking up. Guess what? I'm excited to see you. Yeah, I got something cooking up. Guess what? There you go.

I'll try to get this uploaded like on Monday. Since we're doing this remotely now, we got to get on a weekly schedule. Oh, yeah. we got to get back on a regular schedule yeah i i we just need to start planning it like set the day because right and then if i end up doing one with like ben and spencer i'll let you know or we can still do it and we can stack episodes for if we mix one miss one that's fine so that'll be our plan that's going to do it hope you guys all enjoyed um this audio only episode where we didn't say anything too bad. I didn't

fuck with the dials. We got a little introspective. We learned a valuable lesson. Drinking can be fun, but it can also be not fun. Until next time? Wait, no, go, go, go, go, go, go. I got to go. Wait, wait, wait, wait, let me do the

let me do, you can do the thing. Let me do the things though. Spotify and Apple Podcasts for audio only, YouTube, and TikTok, and Instagram. I haven't posted on our Instagram in a while. I probably should do something over there, but, or tic-tok in the web i should probably do something over it anyways that's all our social medias um thank you guys all for listening watching liking subscribing all that all that bullshit and until next time

always remember pace yourself that's a good one all right see y'all I'm going to be able to be.
