so apologize apologize apologies for that um or maybe i'll upload it tonight and it's not technically late that is true i could upload it tonight um which i might do a little editing tonight i was thinking about um i don't know if i'm that high of a podcast yet where i can get away with doing something like this but i was thinking about just clipping out the story from episode four and just reposting it and just titling it like best story ever like crazy story ever and then in the description being like this is a re-upload because because i didn't record um because i was kind of busy this weekend i uh went to Colorado. What did I miss at the golf course before I get going talking? Nothing.

What? I mean. Did you hand water? No, it rained all day. Sunday. Oh, yeah, because you worked Sunday. Yeah, they hand watered Saturday. They did?

Yeah. What was the high? I don't know, like 80-something. 80-something? Yeah, it was probably like 85. Do you think they needed to hand water? Probably not. Probably not.

Because it was sprinkling. Really? Most of the day. Saturday, also. I looked at the radar on our way home on Sunday, and I saw there was a fair amount of rain. Oh, yeah. Over Lincoln. It just, like, I don't know.

It didn't really like rain it was just kind of like misting like it didn't accumulate too much that's what gabe said he was like it was a good rain it was like an all day light rain yeah which is good yeah because you get it wasn't like the last fucking storm that came through and tried to destroy the whole thing yeah well lena was a little bit afraid it was going to be like that because i think she saw on her phone that um that there was like a branch down blocking something like yesterday and i was like uh-oh but then i mean it would like the wind didn't pick up or anything it was just like rain that's good the worst of it went south there was a bad part yeah i saw some yellow

like there was like purple too but that was like south of us like oh southwest that it hit damn yeah it definitely missed us yeah she was she was out cold for more on the way out which we were talking about really which we were talking or the way back which we were talking about you're like does she fall asleep so i told her i was like um spencer was like does lena sleep you know like yeah long road trips because yeah friday we were talking about you know how i had a road trip ahead of me and you were like yeah long road trips because yeah friday we were talking about you know how i had a road trip ahead of me and you were like um does she sleep and i'm like yeah she yes and no like sometimes she does yeah no but now that i think about it i feel like every time i think she does sleep really yeah she kind of conks out for like a good portion of it or just like on long now

well let's let me think on the way out she probably slept for maybe an hour on the way back she probably slept for hour and a half maybe two i was kind of using like podcasts as markers yeah like i think the way out she maybe got through a whole one this one i think she got through like one and a half but um spencer was like does she sleep and i'm like yeah she kind of sleeps and you're like that must suck because i'm like why and he's like because then you don't have anyone to talk to and i'm like that's when my vacation starts dude you know what's crazy about like long road trips is connor you know how he's like always so like jittery and hyper and like you know just like you don't if you get him in a car when we

went to colorado i don't know does he have adhd probably okay okay but no we went out to colorado and literally from peru after we got out of Lincoln from Peru, so it's about an hour drive from there, once we got on the west side of Lincoln, done. All the way to the Colorado border. Oh my god. Yeah. That's a majority of the trip. Yeah.

And I'm like, what the fuck? You're like, did he take something? Yeah, I was like, did you smash some like did he take something yeah I was like did you like smash some melatonin before we left or what like I even tried to like I tried to wake him up when we like went and ate and he was just like

I'm like okay you don't want to eat lunch we've been driving for four hours yeah whatever I told Lena about that conversation and i don't know what part of it i wasn't clear about but i was like spencer was like does lena ever sleep and i was like um yeah and then i said the whole that's my vacation and she laughed and then she goes he was asking if i sleep and i

was like on road trips and she's like oh and i'm like oh my you think he was like hey does lena ever sleep yeah does she ever just like go to bed i'm like yeah about once a day yeah she fucking sleeps anyways i would like to talk about my weekend a little bit Can't get away But I'm thirsty Thank you Thank you You look antsy over there

I think it's about time You know Story time is always better when you've got a cold drink in your hand. Right? Yeah. You better not. I think it's about that time. What is it?

We get some... What is it? We get the little death row happy dads. What? Great. Oh, my God. What? These are the fucking greatest things since sliced bread.

You can tickle my fancy with these. Oh, my God. So you like those, oh yeah i've never had these you actually didn't try these i've what do you mean what do you mean i've never had this before it's an open box well yeah i didn't know if you picked up a secondary box in Colorado. What are you talking about? When you went to Colorado. Yeah, I happened to see these in Colorado. A different kind, though, in Colorado. You sent me a picture. Yeah.

They didn't have these, though, so I'm glad that the mini fridge came in. Well, I didn't know if you drank some of these in Colorado. No, no, no. I've never had these before. Ooh, they smell nice. No, no, no. I've never had these before. Ooh, they smell nice. Oh, they're nice. So this is a... What is Death Row Records?

Is it... Oh, my God. You're fucking... I don't know. Oh, my God. But it's good. Oh! You fucking just drank half of that can in one pull.

It's so fucking good. It's not... The grape isn't too strong. It's just... That's nice too strong. That's nice. That's refreshing. Yeah. I've never seen you this happy before. Dude, they're so good.

I've never seen you this happy. Last time I had this was last summer at Lake of the Ozarks. Really? So it's been a while. Yeah. It's been about a year. Really? So it's been a while. Yeah. It's been about a year. I think I crushed five cases of it. What?

Yeah. It was like a four-day trip. You had five cases? Yeah, of 12. By yourself? Yeah. I'm not paying for anyone else. God.

These were so good. Because that's in Missouri. I don't know if they have them in all of Missouri or just parts. Because Peru's like right next to Missouri and we would always go over there and they didn't have them there. That's pretty tasty. It is. Do you like grape stuff? Yeah.

Do you usually get the little electrolyte whatever things? Do you usually get the grape ones? So you like grape. Yeah. I feel like grape is like artificial grape. People either love it or hate it. Yeah, because it doesn't taste like real grapes. I don't think.

Fuck no. And then. Just like artificial watermelon. Tastes nothing like. Really artificial anything tastes nothing anything i think the closest artificial something is orange probably yeah orange is pretty close it's got maybe in lemon mate no because lemon is so sour cherry kind of some stuff definitely not cherry some i think some kind of maraschino maraschino cherry?

Tastes nothing like a fucking cherry starburst. Well, no. But anyways. Anyway, we'll edit that out. But no, we'll keep it in. I listened to our last episode. Oh my god, you are good. You might as well finish the can.

It's Monday. It's Monday. It's Monday. When has that ever stopped us before? Hey, it's got electrolytes in it. It does? Yeah. I don't know how much. So what is...

Okay, so... Did we even answer... What is the Death Row Records? I don't know. What is that a reference to? I have no idea. Because that sounds like it'd be some kind of music thing. And this is Nelk Boys.

Yeah, I'm not sure honestly anyways i'm pretty sure they have electrolytes i do feel like i remember seeing that maybe not maybe not this kind but the other ones the other case i got when i was in missouri i do remember it saying electrolytes and i'm like damn they're trying to it's supposed to help you not have a hangover but god damn i was gonna say that sometimes i get a bad hangover from five cases in a weekend i'm pretty sure you're gonna be feeling a little I mean, the one time Pig brought him back and we smashed a couple... Did you say he'll make trips down there and just grab a couple cases and head back? Yeah. That's dedication.

But I do think it is kind of a... That might be like... It's pretty sought after. That might be like a trope of an alcoholic to incorporate hangover curing properties into the alcohol by adding electrolytes. And they're only 100 calories. It's pretty good. Just like any other, really just like any other um seltzer but um i am i am i'm anxiously waiting this package and i i want to see if um if i can look and see if it will get here in the time that we are recording i might have

to put a pause on it just such a simple can can be so good what do you mean it's you're talking so lovingly about it as if it's like well it's not something i can just go to the store and buy yeah since it is not readily available yeah it does make it a little bit i mean we'd have to travel probably to colorado or lake of the ozarks because that's the only spot in Missouri I know that has it. Right. Like if it was like if they only made like 500, for example. Speaking of which. Do you want to get into that

or do you want to talk about my weekend a little bit? We can do your weekend first. Okay. I'm not going to give every detail, but there's a couple things that I wanted to... That was good. That I wanted to... Well, you better get another one.

There are a couple things I wanted to talk about that I thought would be kind of funny. But, so we went to a wedding in Colorado, and it was like, the hotel we stayed at was like right next to denver and then the wedding itself was like you drove right like uh into the mountains like not very far like so it'd be denver's right on the east side of the mountains yeah so you went like a little bit west up into the mountains like we were going up you could feel your ears popping as you're driving up. Yeah. I was trying to see how long I could let it go. Oh, God.

You know, you can do that kind of, like, click thing. Yeah. Like, I don't even know how to describe it. Like, if you're going to yawn, if you go to initiate a yawn, you feel it, like, click thing. Yeah, kind of pop. Like, you can make your ears pop yourself but i was waiting to see how long i could take it in my right ear felt like there was a balloon slowly and then and leno's like oh my ears are popping and i like i was like i'm gonna

see how long i can live and i like i did it and i was like, whoa, like the amount of difference right when it happened. Did you ever on your weekend probably not go down like into Colorado Springs? All of those suburbs were. It's not really a suburb. It's kind of like it's like 30 minutes south. So it's not like even remotely like. Then I don't think so. I don't think we did you would definitely

be able to tell because colorado springs looks like a complete 360 of what you think a colorado town would look like why was it look like well like it looks like kind of like an arizona town like they have no desert yeah they have no grass they have like lava rock for yards it's weird it is kind of weird because like because like how you would think colorado town would look like so the climate of colorado is like it we like when we drove up the mountain it was like probably mid 80s down at our hotel. And then once we got up the mountain and like the breeze was coming through, it was a significant drop in temperature. Oh, yeah.

And I was like, this feels nice. But you have like no humidity out there. Right. Also. So, yeah. And they're like, it's a dry heat or whatever. But I do remember we had like a baseball tournament or whatever when I was playing my select baseball days like in middle school in Arvada, which is right by there. And I remember everyone being like, it's a dry heat.

It's a dry heat because it's in summer. And I'm like, what does that even mean? And then I got there and I'm like, yeah, it's like not really hot here. And they're like, yeah, because there's no humidity. I was like, oh, yeah, that no humidity. And I was like, oh. Yeah. That makes sense. I didn't really understand what anyone meant by that.

Because people are like, yeah, but it's a dry heat. It's like. That's what's confusing. Deserts are pretty dry. Like a dry heat. Because you can say that about Arizona is a dry heat. Yeah, but Arizona is. But it's fucking hot. Like 123 degrees.

Yeah. It's like, oh my God. So we to the to the wedding venue and it was just like a barn it was pretty small wedding um and the ceremony was nice and snappy which i like i like a nice snappy short ceremony getting in and out yeah and the there was only like three groomsmen and one of and then the fourth groomsman was the guy's horse so the horse walked down the aisle and had like a little tie on its bridal which was was kind of cool um but then we went back to um the bride's parents house for uh the reception and they must have just done some sodding because there was like there was like a defined line of green grass and dirt but like they took but like

they did a good job of growing it in because it was like dark green lush long like could have damn near been mowed i was like what are we doing um but then it's like i can't mind that for you um but uh but then they like laid out a dance floor probably a little bit bigger than this floor plan platform and part of me was like did they lay this on the grass i better get this up within a couple days um but then and then they had like tents and tables and they had some nice like leather like chairs and couches set up out there to like hang out on i was like this is kind of nice but um we're sitting there and of course you know me i can't sit in silence especially even if it's with my girlfriend's co-workers that she's not even that really good at friends with yeah um you just gotta break that awkward but then it kind of

makes me it kind of makes me let loose even harder because i'm like there's not really any consequences here because even my girlfriend's not even that great of friends with them like she works with them yeah but she's not super close with them and i mean like you're probably not gonna see many of those people if any ever again i do see them a decent amount but it's few and far between yeah and i've not like an every weekend type uh i've basically created the reputation of like oh lena's boyfriend's really funny which i'm like that's right where i want it that's where i want it and i can't remember how we got on the topic but we got on the topic maybe of las vegas then the topic of me smoking weed came up there oh boy because one of the couples said they they

like weed or whatever yeah and so i was like oh then they'll appreciate the story and a couple i was like it's i'm not gonna tell like i i i didn't want to be super insufferable yeah which is the way i commonly am you didn't tell the full story well yeah and down to the detail and i wasn't like you guys definitely want to hear me tell the story like you guys you guys should all to hear me tell this story. Like, you guys should all stop what you're doing and listen intently to me. Yeah. But there was a couple of people who were like, no, I'd like to hear it. And so I was like, okay.

And I was like trying to give the shortened version. But then, and I realized that there is an art to storytelling, right? There can be people that tell really good stories and really bad stories. There's people that can be good at telling stories and bad at telling stories. Yeah. For example, there's got to be a setup, a middle, and a closing. Like a bug. like there's got to be a setup a middle and a closing like and sometimes like a book yeah and sometimes stories deserve to have like a reveal um later on and for example like

just like with connor when connor was here and lenny was like do you tell him the wheelchair story and i'm like well if you say that that ruins a huge part of it yeah like cuts like half of it out the story you know or like tell the story about that one girl that you met that's usually how I like to say it or now

since we have it recorded we can say the story from episode 4 yeah go listen to it which I just ruined part of it if people haven't heard it kinda not really or or people or they're just like oh yeah you should tell the story of like when you got too high and threw up out of the uber and it's like you're that's half the story you're telling all of the story at once and not let giving it its due diligence by giving like the setup yeah um but i kind of just told like the majority of that story right in a sense exactly and so but i've also learned that there's people that are bad at listening to stories because as i was sitting there telling

the story the guy would i'd be telling the story and he'd be like right right and you and then like yeah i'm talking about or like i'll be i'll tell a funny detail and he'll gloss over it because he's trying to make a funny point oh yeah no no i'm telling a funny story right now like I'd be like, I, or like, for example, if when I'm describing the story, I'm like, and then I was standing there and it felt like my eyeballs were being pushed in. And if someone's just like, I've felt that before. Yeah. And it's like, oh, gee, dickhead. You know, it's like, you're supposed to go, oh my God, that's your reaction. That's what your reaction should be. If it's anything else, you're supposed to go oh my god that's your reaction that's what your reaction should be if it's anything else you're not doing the story it's giving it its due diligence because what's

happening is i'm about to pass out yeah like you're about to be ko'd or or if um or if i'm just like i got up and i was so high and they're like, did you get sick? It's like, hold on a second. Or the other thing that kind of annoys me too is when I'm like, um, and then I felt like I was going to pass out. They're like, you felt like you're going to pass out. And I'm just like, yeah, that's what I just said. You can just listen.

Cause I just said that yeah anyways um it wasn't fine it or it wasn't bad it wasn't like they ruined it or anything but i realized like and then some people that were like i want to hear it and then i started telling the story and then they like turn and started talking to someone else in the middle of me like gone and i'm like i don't know i don't know if it's me being an asshole where i'm just like if i'm gonna have the center of attention let me have the center but like if i'm telling you like once they turn like you can't be like hey you know i basically was like this is a crazy story that can involve a lot of detail and be lengthy but i'm not to go into it unless you guys really want to hear it. And they're like, no, I want to hear it.

And then the one guy didn't even listen to 90% of it. I'm like, because the way I like to tell stories is I want it to be a journey. I want it to be a ride. Yeah. I feel like Cole's story that he told, one was that was good roller coaster that was good that's exactly how i like stories to be told oh yeah that was a roller coaster story so that's a perfect example we can we can we can take that story and do it we can give an example so the way someone would ruin a story is be like tell the crow story or well maybe not really

because that's really vague that's really vague that's not really and like when he told the story like my mind was somewhere else like when thinking about a crow like my mind went elsewhere until i fly into his window that's what i was thinking like something about a crow like my mind went elsewhere until i fly into his window that's what i was thinking like something about a crow so i guess that's okay but if someone's just like you should tell that like or or horror story or something like tell the story about how if you didn't know if it was real or not yeah that would ruin it yeah but the way he tells the story is i i love because he starts the story by going when i was a sophomore at unl yeah yes that set the picture way back dude that story had me like oh my god he's like i was roommates with this guy that's not important to the story but

it's creating a lot like a lot of those minute details aren't really like important though they're not well they kind of are like they're not vital but they they are though because like because then he could be like i thought it was my roommate so and so coming in yeah so he like plays it all in together really well exactly that's how i like stories to be told i feel like he's told it quite a few times i think that's like the third time i've heard him tell it um do you think he's ever traced parents trace and i think i've told trace this before trace isn't the best storyteller and i think he

knows it too because we'll be if it's something we did together he'll he'll just be like you tell it like he knows because he knows you'll like kind of forget parts or right it's not that he doesn't want to do a good job it's just he'll kind of forget certain details or you know if trace was to tell my story he'd be like uh we went to this dispensary and jake got super high it's like you're not wrong but when i tell the story i'm like i wanted i had in mind that i wasn't gonna smoke but yeah then i thought it'd be great if i just was able to say I did with Trace and they're passing it back and forth. And then I go like this and then he hands it to me and I take two little puffs like this. Like I'm describing everything that happens.

And I mean like in Trace's eyes, like he couldn't describe how you were feeling. So like that's another different type of way. With that being said, his girlfriend at one point candidly asked me if I was autistic. In Vegas? No, no, no. At the wedding. Oh, my God. At the wedding reception. What?

Yeah. But the way she asked it at one point. Well, okay. yeah but the way she asked it at one point well okay so we're standing there when you know how you're waiting for the bride and groom to come or the procession or whatever the the yeah the there wasn't a big entrance like where the groomsmen and bridesmaid do like a secret handshake or whatever it was just everyone was already there except the bride and groom and they came in last and we formed like a little tunnel instead of like soap or like bubbles or whatever rice we had these little baggies of like dried flower petals oh yeah so they were in these little plastic bags so what i did was i opened it and dumped a little

in my hand and just held it because i was getting ready to throw it when everyone else was just kind of holding it and i'm like i was thinking about it in my head about how i was gonna do it maybe i am a little autistic but i was thinking about like am i gonna open it and like try to fling it like this yeah like it was actually like autistic and you're gonna be like like it was super windy but like i dumped it in my hand and was just holding it and like a little bit of it kind of fell out yeah and it was kind of getting on people and they're like looking at me and then she looks at me and she goes jake do you have kind of like crazy brain a little bit and i'm like i honestly took it as a compliment or no she said do you have funny brain like she said do you have funny brain and immediately i took it as a compliment or no she said do you have funny brain like she said do you have funny brain

and immediately i took it as a compliment i'm like do you think i have a funny brain that's what i said you thought like a jokester like she like what i heard it as she said she said jake do you have kind of a funny brain? But what I heard her say was, Jake, are you always this funny? So I looked at her and I just went, do you think I have a crazy brain? Or do you think I have a funny brain? In other words saying, do you think I'm super funny? Yeah. But then she kind of laughed it off.

And at one point I was sitting right next to lena and she leaned to lena like this far away and was like does she like have something like now asking my girlfriend and i'm like i'm right here and i can hear everything you're saying but what did lena do be like no she was like he probably has adhd but i don't know she's like he probably has something i was like i do probably have something and i was immediately trying to think of jokes in my head like i don't know i'm probably on some kind of spectrum or i don't know i couldn't really think of anything funny at that moment. But someone candidly asked me if I was autistic. That's a first.

I've been asked if I'm Asian. I've been asked if I'm... Are you serious? Yeah. One time there was a girl I was hooking up with, and she was like, are you Asian? Like, she just looked me dead in my face and was like are you Asian? I was like no. Another girl asked me if I was Italian.

Oh my god. And I think the same girl I think that was the same girl someone else oh yeah a different girl who I was seeing her dad's girlfriend asked if i was mexican and it was about this time of year it was like just like going around the world it was literally

this time of year she was like are you mexican i think she legit not are you hispanic not are you litigant just are you mexican and um i was like no i'm just really tan yeah i was like i was like no i'm white i'm just really tan like i work on a golf course i work outside all day yeah but but never have i been asked if i'm autistic not seriously at least but never have I been asked if I'm autistic. Not seriously, at least. But then she was like, hey, we're all on meds, and I'm just like, okay. Is that supposed to make me feel good? You should have been like, you know the funny joke you should have said?

You should, if you think I'm autistic, you should see the friends I hang out with. That's fair. She would probably have been like, oh my god. I would like to, that'd be funny if she came over sometime

for like a bonfire and she's hanging out with you, Cam, Ben, and you're all drunk. Pretty, yeah,

pretty, pretty on there. I wonder what she would say to that. I think she'd probably just leave. I don't think she'd stick around for very long. I probably think there's something going on. She'd just walk up to Cam and be like, Adderall.

Cam would be like, tried it, don't like it. I can't eat on it. I've seen Cam on ADHD meds, and I don't like it. He just turns into a zombie. Yeah. I'm like, this is not Cam. Turn your mic a little bit so it's squared up.

There you go. Moving on. So, that's basically how my weekend went. Yeah, we almost went there was a and you might be mad at me for this but there was like a sasquatch i don't know what it said i don't i can't remember if it said museum i don't think it said museum it was like a sasquatch but i don't think it was because we looked at the pictures I doubt it was a museum because museums are like things that are like real it literally looked like the pictures looked like it was a gift shop and I was like they probably had like

knickknacks right it was like 45 minutes away and I'm like that's an hour and a half round trip like as much as i love like bigfoot like yeah the lore of it and hearing stories that's a lot of extra driving because we'd have to go back and forward it'd be yeah hour and a half to get back to where we were before we head back to lincoln i'm like that and it just looks like a gift shop like I forgot to tell you that wouldn't be worth it for like a hat and I forgot to tell you you had this stuff in Sterling Colorado they get the best pizza I've ever had in my life I thought you're gonna say they got a really cool Bigfoot exhibit no pizza yeah they cook it like on an open, like they build the fire, you know, with wood. So it's cooked.

Like a stone oven? Yeah, it's a stone oven. And then they build it with, I think it's apple wood. Ooh. And they cook it. And it, oh my God. As Cam might say. When did he start doing that?

I have no idea. What's funny is that like, i felt like my friends and i in high school did that too we were like we would grunt and stuff like that like we were going like i don't even know like that exact thing i'm like were we destined to be friends because i don't know at some point he just started doing that yeah i don't know but he does it in response speaking of autism he does it in response he does it in response to things he finds exciting things yeah exciting i think is what it is you know he just can't really voice his opinion so he just puts out a little screech Yeah, it's mainly... Yeah, it's mainly... It's weird to say we have a friend that grunts when he gets excited.

Did you just put Cam on the spectrum? I think he put himself there. Hey, cheers to you, Cam. Come home. Cam, come home. cam hope come home cam come home cam come home what if we had a whole merch line dedicated to the lore we created for cam like we had a picture of am and cam in an iron lung oh my kim having surgery on or just like get well cam like get well cam and then yeah like a picture of like a kidney Having a doctor pull out like a black liver

Oh my god Okay so We got this cornhole tournament coming up Couple Couple weekends from now So I've been prepping the game field. Is there a trophy involved? I have plans to make one.

I have plans to make one. I don't know exactly how, but I've got some blueprints in my head. It's a good place for them. You could just spray paint a piece of board gold and I would fucking go hard. And that's the other thing. It's my 27th birthday on August 27th. So it will be my golden birthday and I want the theme of my party to be golden. I think I've said this before on the pod, but I'm going to say it again.

No, I think I said it at my birthday last year because I don't really remember your birthday last year I got pretty fucked up last year I think that was like one of the first times I ever came over

and I got fucking hammered there's a video of you of cam pushing you around in a wheelbarrow and ben and i don't remember that seeing that happen i don't think you were around anyways i i remember saying this last year because i feel like it's a little bit weird to be like are you coming to my birthday like i feel like it's a little bit weird oh yeah i'm coming i know i know but the idea of throwing yourself a birthday but at the same time this is what i remember saying this last year when you turn 26 no one's gonna throw you a birthday party so you

gotta throw it for yourself you did say that i do remember you quoting that. I said, when you turn 26, no one's going to throw you a birthday, so you have to throw it for yourself. That's what I did. That's what I'm doing again this year. It was a pretty successful birthday. It was fun. We all got together. All got really, really drunk. I can't remember if we

played Cornell or not. You and Cam got me a pinata. That was nice. And filled it with nike nitro golf yeah i really really wanted to i think yeah 99 shooters i really wanted to put some like grass seed or something in it oh yeah yeah but like, no, that'll fuck up his whole yard. No, it won't. My yard is a Frankenstein of, like, bluegrass, fescue, ryegrass. Yeah. And some other shit.

I was just going to put, like, a little bit so, like, when you broke it, then there's grass seed all over. Honestly, that would have been so sick. Yeah, but Cam was like, you don't want to fuck up his lawn. It's so perfect. Well. And I was like, fine. It's not that perfect. But you're present this year.

Oh, my God. So you told me a couple days ago. Yesterday. I want one. I ordered it yesterday. Was it yesterday you told me that you ordered it? Because I ordered it yesterday. And I'm like, no no you shouldn't have

but of course I'm just like oh fuck yeah he's just like yeah not everyone is like me okay not everyone gets as excited for themselves as I do you can call it selfishness you can call it narcissism

no can't think of the word sociopath sociopath i don't i don't think it's that but um i don't know i like to party and basically i have a good reason to party you know i'm turning 27 it's gonna be my golden birthday. Theme's going to be gold. Golden. But then you were like, got your present. And then today you said, I'm pretty excited. No, you go, while I was on the toilet taking a shit, you go, yeah, I don't know. It says it was, they only made 500.

And I'm like, what? Yeah, they did. Yeah, it only made 500. And the thing says it's 100 pounds i'm like what the fuck did you get me there's it cannot be 100 pounds so all i know is that but like 100 pounds but doesn't seem like it's 100 pounds or could be and it's something that i'm going to display that's all i have to go off of? Yeah. And I was like, is it going to be like a Sasquatch statue? And you said no.

And it's handmade. Handmade? Yeah. I honestly don't know. That's probably why they only made 500. I honestly don't know. I asked you where you got it from, and you said you wouldn't tell me, because that would probably... It would probably give it away.

I just went on the internet, i looked up only i looked up the words only 500 made to see what would come up and it was like some weird like watch oh my god that's probably not it no so speaking of still says it hasn't arrived yet. But it is. I want to know, but I also want to be surprised. It'll be probably the coolest thing you have displayed in or around your house. So the other thing is, it's something I might display outside of my house. You could.

It would be tough to display inside. So sometimes I'll go back and listen to these episodes. Yeah. Not just because I want to hear myself talk. But I feel like it's good research as a podcaster to go and listen to some of your own content. To see how you can make it better? Well, to see what it is like to consume it as a listener. Yeah. So if you go and listen to it in whatever setting, then you can say this is how other people are experiencing it yeah so um because like you said when me and ben were on

like you'd never heard me and him like have our little side chat when you're sitting here yeah while you're doing telling a story and me and ben are having like a little like side piece. Yeah. And then you can hear it as a listener, but you yourself sitting there couldn't hear it. Yeah. And like the mini fridge. Mm-hmm. I last episode put these like foam things underneath it to see if it would muscle. These have been here for. No, no, no.

The last episode was the only time that these have been underneath it. No way. The first time. The first time. I swear with me and Ben they were on there. Nope. I had Lena... I lifted it up and had her put them underneath.

Because when I'd go back and listen, I'd be like, God, I feel like such an asshole. Or I just feel like... Because you can hear it. You can hear it buzzing. And I think it's like i think it's because it's the vibration is going up the arm oh yeah mic so i was like i want to see if i put it on these foam things if it'll help dampen the vibration now i i listened to you and connor and i's episode yeah and i don't remember hearing it so either it worked or i might have been doing something at work that was kind of drowning it out like i can't remember

if i was spraying or not yeah so i think i started to listen to it on the vertidrain i'm like this is too loud i can't it's hard to hear us. You can't hear shit on the thing. But it's hard to hear any of our stuff. Yeah. But so, yeah, I don't remember hearing it. So I think it helped. Probably. Couldn't have made it worse.

Yeah. The other thing, if I'm doing something absolutely silent where i can hear everything i'll hear cam talking and me listening but i can hear my nose whistling in the mic and i'm like oh my god do i really have a whistly nose like that so when we were getting ready to start and i was like it's kind of funny though when we do one with ben because like i can see him over here and he's like so close like he's like breathing through his mouth and it's just like making little like so it's just like a well it's just like if someone's like listening to it really quietly you could probably hear him

just like well and i'm still trying to work out the kinks we got a third mic we got that other mic is um so these are blue snowballs that that one is a blue yeti so it's like the brand is blue i guess and then there's like different versions. These are like $50. I'm going to be completely transparent here. I have no, I don't care what people know. These are like $50 and that one's like $100. Ugh.

It definitely is louder. Because I was trying to... Sometimes, before we start recording, we'll adjust our input audio and whatnot, and we'll record a little bit, and then... What's up? I'm finally looking up Death Row Records. Oh.

Okay. Since it's a fucking gang violence. Really? Yeah. The most controversial record label in history. Look up Death Row Records, Happy Dad. Or Happy Dad, Death Row Records. You were like scowling.

I was talking about recording on the mics and you were kind of furrowing your brow and i was like oh shit is he not recording or something it just doesn't what does it say it just says like what the drink is oh i don't know maybe they got the rights from someone and was like hey we want to put this on the can because we think it's cool but so what i was saying was like we'll sometimes record a little snippet and listen back to it and we'll be like yeah that sounds loud and clear yeah and when but then once you go and mix it with the other ones and then put it in there i had to like oh

shit like ben's because i kept telling him move your mic closer to your mouth yeah like we have it but his mic was picking up everything just fine from where it was yeah and then when he would talk into it it was like too loud yeah i had to like bring his audio down in imovie so we're still working out the kinks in it but i think that one like picks up a lot like i think it does because like when i talk it like picks up mine too right being like from here to here right which and yours is faintly picking up my voice right now and mine's faintly picking up yours but when we put them right over each other you can't you can't really hear it but like ben's though is like it picks up more than like what from here to here does and with

that one you can adjust the pickup patterns on it aka with a mic you can with a nicer mic like that and with like higher end mics you can like adjust like the cardioid is like heart-shaped which means like it'll only pick up like on this side and won't back here there's like an omnidirectional where it picks up all around it there's like a bi-directional where it's like front and back anyways so yeah his mic is a little bit different and if we and also i don't have like a pop filter for that one like this yeah so like when i would like or like buh or tuh it would like really hit hard and but anyways these are fucking delicious and they're going down like water. Yeah. That's the bad part about them. And they're fucking 5%. Honestly though,

that burger I ate before is helping a lot. Soaking it up. Dude, I hate drinking on an empty stomach. Because I like drinking like a couple. Well, yeah.

But like if I have a couple on an empty stomach then i'm like i'm fucking no head hurts oh he's electrolyzed better kick in okay the last thing i have jotted down here in my notes college football is starting is it next week this weekend's week zero week zero we don't play but right so that means we have technically a bye week yeah this is it's like when we're playing ncaa you know right yeah this is like week zero so yeah we have a bye week technically oh really quickly this is just a side tangent not really um when i was talking about so we were talking about the cornhole tournament when we were playing in caa i forgot i had my sprinklers on and i forgot to turn them off oh no so after you and ben left i went to like take a piss or i don't know but i was like

is there water running and i was like oh fuck and i went outside and my sprinklers had been running for like a couple hours i was like oh my god i was like not gonna have to be not gonna have to run and then but it was pretty soggy out there. Yeah, yeah. And then Lena was like, oh, yeah, it looks like it's raining in Lincoln. I'm like, I'm sure glad I ran my sprinklers for two hours. So anyways, but yeah, we were playing NCAA

and got sidetracked when that happened. I keep catching myself saying NCAA, but it's not. It's college football. It's whatever. I mean, saying NCAA, but it's not. It's college football. It's whatever. I mean, it is, but. How is the difference? What's the difference?

Because wasn't NCAA 14 EA sports? Yeah. And college football is EA sports. Yeah. But I think it kind of goes like with what you said. NCAA is all of the sports. You brought that comment up at work because NCAAs technically basketball oh yeah track true volleyball because I looked up NCAA I went to look up NCAA 25 and so I typed in NCAA because I forgot they changed it to just college football.

And when I typed in NCAA, it was like some old college basketball March Madness game came up. And I'm like, what? Mine came up. I typed in NCAA 25. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, yours is on PlayStation, so it might have been like an Xbox game or something, but are you

enjoying these? Yeah, they're nice. They are really really nice i'm really glad the magic mini fridge um like i said it's tapped in somehow it's somehow got something that's not even around it felt your skin follicles hit the table and it said i know exactly what this guy wants he wants some happy dad death row death row record that we don't even really know what that means. Not sure. So, this coming weekend, Saturday. Well, they might even Friday.

I think they play Friday and Saturday. So, the first game, you want to look up what the very first game is? Tell me who plays the first college football games of 2024. I almost said five.

are you gonna come over and watch the game or are you gonna yeah are you going to the game or no cause that's the day I wanna have that's at least that's what I sent in the message directly following the game

we'll probably yeah start the tournament but then it's on Fox okay I think we can make that work but then it's on Fox okay I think we can make that work hope so but yeah then we can watch the game before

and anyone who wants to come over can do so ooh we get some big games yeah he's coming he did say he would come he can come if it doesn't rain that Friday because he has a softball tournament, and they're going to be done Friday, barring a rain delay.

Okay. Fucking, um. We get some big games week one. Number seven, Notre Dame at number 20, Texas A&M. I remember playing that game too. Where's this? Because of the one I created. Sunday, September 1st.

Sunday? Yeah, because it's a week before the NFL starts, so they play Sunday too. Oh. Huge game at 6.30 p.m. Who? Number 23 USC at number 13, LSU. Ooh.

I heard USC's not going to be that good this year. They're not supposed to. They could be. And we got a Monday game, too. What? Yeah. Florida State at, or Boston College at Florida State. I remember playing that game.

Just go through Florida State's whole schedule and I'll just say, I remember playing that game just go through Florida State's whole roster schedule and I'll just say I remember playing that yeah I remember that one I remember playing that I thought Georgia was playing that game so in my message I sent out I believe my words were

respond if you are coming and if you're participating and if you would like to participate do you want to know what connor's response was huh let's fucking go that didn't really tell me much the first game of week one's gonna be huge number 14 clemson at number one, Georgia. 11 a.m. kickoff. Damn. Upset Central.

Have you had four or three? I don't know. Probably. I don't know. You lose track. You lose track of these death rules. Time flies when you're drinking your favorite. Would you say this is your favorite?

Maybe not favorite thing. I couldn. Your favorite. Would you say this is your favorite? Maybe not favorite thing. I couldn't say favorite. Maybe not favorite alcoholic beverage to drink, but just as of late, they've really been hitting for you. I mean, when I can get my hands on them, you best believe I'm going to get my hands on them. So, well, I can't say that because it ruins the lore, but yeah. Yeah. well I can't say that because it ruins the lore but yeah yeah I'm trying to think how I can word this if I was to I don't know

I can't think it's going to ruin the lore we could do it off camera I'll do it off camera don't worry about it It's going to ruin the lore. We could do it off camera. I'll do it off camera. I'll do it off camera. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. There's nothing going on here.

There's nothing going on here. So, I don't know. I think that about does it. I'm trying to think if there's anything else. Oh, yeah. For the tournament, I... Oh, are we doing, like i've that's like yeah i think it'd be fun i think that's what i want to do i think it would mix it up and be pretty fun yeah

because you could end up with um you you could end up with me you could end up with uh your silver medalist my mother ice ice okay so i have my mom's contact as mom slash ice ice because i think it was ice tried to come and get you because you know no that's a nice callback. I deserve more laughter. I think it was like my freshman year. We had to like put a contact. We had to put an in case of emergency contact. And it said like it's either they said it or maybe I saw it somewhere that was like, you should always put in case of emergency um with someone's contact so if you're ever like unconscious or something if you're ever in trouble and they need to know who to get a hold of they can look in your contacts and be like oh he marked this person as in case of emergency. So I put my mom as mom slash in case of emergency.

So if I'm ever incapacitated or something and someone's like, who should we call? Look at his phone. I guess they would have to put it in front of my face and peel my eyes down so they can unlock my phone. I feel like most people, though, people though would be like well let's go mom yeah you know i don't know maybe that's dumb maybe i'm a sucker for doing whatever that no it's kind of cool because it's ice yeah so then yeah she called me one time at work and he was like ice i'm like yeah hold i and i like i'll explain after and then i explain the whole like it means in case of emergency,

so if someone needs to get a hold of someone, then someone will get a hold of someone for someone to save someone. Yeah. So that's why it's ice. But, yeah, you could get him. I don't know if Zane will be done then or available yet. Two weeks. It'll be cutting close. Zane, if you're or available yet? Two weeks. Zane, if you're watching, we're coming Friday.

He's not watching. It'll be a game time decision. We're coming Friday, Zane. Oh, yeah. Yes, we should. We definitely should. Yes. We got him.

Yes. We need to go to one of his games before the season's over. I don't know, dude. I think that about does it. Yeah, I think that's a i think i think that's a wrap i think that's a wrap we don't i mean we don't have to end it exactly on an hour every time we record oh i never have but i think really always been like 105 105 or 106 they're usually about 105 um but yeah i don't know if like i'm setting up in my brain that i see the hour and

i'm like that means it's time to be done maybe but we're just kind of like you know we're at a good stopping point right yeah i had a couple of things jotted down i wanted to talk about mostly about me so i think i um talked said everything i wanted to do you feel like you talked enough in this episode yeah it was okay that's glad to hear um thank you guys for watching and tuning in to yet another episode if you see cam please let us know we're really worried about him um until next time um oh yeah audio only on Spotify and Apple podcast um Like and subscribe on YouTube.
