Speaker 2:I think we're safe on bridges thus far, for now, just the one. All clearances have been made, for the debris, of course, which has already been happening, but officially, all the clearances have been made and they are allowed to start removing the debris which started long before they were allowed to start. Oh, to remove removing the debris which started long before they were allowed to. But the fed said that was okay, just get your ducks in a row and we're all we'll be. We brought jackson holiday up. Yeah, it hasn't been that worthwhile we didn't win holiday, is it?
Speaker 2:it's the holiday of bringing up the best prospect in baseball, so they say, yeah, this year. Uh, I think he didn't play yesterday. He played two games in Boston, two games here against Milwaukee. I don't think he has a hit yet. The game, the fifth game, is just starting. I'm not sure if he's in the lineup. Don't know if you saw.
Speaker 3:No, I haven't seen yet.
Speaker 2:No, but yeah, I got a look from CJ.
Speaker 1:He looked over, he has glasses and I can still see his look, not one hit yet.
Speaker 2:He's been on base a couple times Through error and Fielder's choices.
Speaker 3:And.
Speaker 2:I think he has like two runs, but no hits yet, so we're still waiting on that.
Speaker 3:We'll see how that goes. I mean, I have high hopes.
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely, gunnar and Adley both started out slow as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and Gunnar still won the Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so let's give him a month and see where he is.
Speaker 3:I mean he was what? 14 for 42 in the AAA.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was crushing it down there. Yeah, he was crushing it down there he was uh 33, uh 333 and yeah that that'll get you into the major leagues just about every time nice yeah everything go well. Yesterday you said you're doing something with your daughter, but I don't know what it was.
Speaker 3:Um so I thought I was going with my daughter but I ended up going to my son's track thing. That was like from 9 am to a little after like 3.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, that's a lot of running.
Speaker 3:Like he did two events and there was like 10 events total. He did like the second event and like the eighth event, so like he had to be there all day.
Speaker 2:What are his events?
Speaker 3:I think two 800 meter events. I can't speak, but they were relays. Okay, the one where you're handing the rod off. Yeah, you got to do two laps and then hand the rod off, but I think he went last in each relay hey, that means he's the anchor good stuff he's one of the better runners yeah, but you can't.
Speaker 2:It doesn't help when you have three people in front of you, or I wouldn't say three people, but at least one to two people in front of you that aren't doing that great right and it's it's his job to make up for the the lack of uh running on the other guys yeah, you know, they're kids, they're yeah, they're still figuring out how to really take those strides there was apparently a kid who ran a mile in five minutes and 10 seconds that's nuts. How, what age?
Speaker 3:uh, this is middle school, middle school. I don't know whether eighth grade or what, but you know right, that's that's a minute and 12 seconds average the.
Speaker 2:The fastest mile, I remember was somebody in high school and that was a little under seven, it was like 650 or something like that. I did end up going to his uh jackson holidays debut game. I did get a shirt, a nice medium-sized shirt, which will obviously—.
Speaker 3:There were no more larges left.
Speaker 2:It was only mediums and extra larges. There were no more extra larges left, so I took the medium. It'll end up going to somebody.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean. Or you can hang it up and keep it as a treasure piece.
Speaker 2:Cut it out and stitch it onto a larger shirt.
Speaker 3:That works too.
Speaker 1:So CJ just recently received his.
Speaker 2:I've Been Tasked With t-shirt that he won, the one that I won. That's right Now.
Speaker 1:I don't know if CJ is going to give Nick an exam or quiz today. They have to be really hard so that he can't win his t-shirt, that's fine.
Speaker 2:Don't want Nick to win the t-shirt.
Speaker 1:He doesn't want to win Nick's t-shirt All right, is it Nick's t-shirt?
Speaker 3:It doesn't mean I keep my shirt. I leave with my shirt on.
Speaker 2:You have to leave your shirt here if you don't win.
Speaker 1:What's that rap song, Nick, about the women making the booty clap, Clap, clap, clap?
Speaker 2:clap, clap your hands, clap your ass.
Speaker 1:I say clap your hands. I thought weed was supposed to help with your headaches.
Speaker 3:You know it does help, but it doesn't get rid of them.
Speaker 2:Just kind of tempers it a bit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, kind of like a wet paper towel.
Speaker 2:You need to step it up. Does the profan or tylenol work? Either one?
Speaker 3:no, neither one no, because like it could last anywhere from like 15 minutes to like an hour, so like if I were to take it every time I get a headache. If I were to, you know, take it every time I get a headache, it's how much ibuprofen or tylenol will I be taking, because sometimes I can get them two to three times a day?
Speaker 2:Right and nobody wants to take that much shit Nah.
Speaker 1:I take ibuprofen a few times a day.
Speaker 3:I don't really like taking medicine For those knees of yours.
Speaker 1:I take ibuprofen for my ankle.
Speaker 2:Ankle Okay.
Speaker 1:I had a motorcycle accident a very, very bad in like 2005, 2007, and it was bad, it was a lot. It was, uh, my left ankle was crushed into pieces.
Speaker 2:It sounds awful yeah, well, was it your fault?
Speaker 1:no, I mean it was my fault for having a motorcycle, yeah, but get out of here with that bullshit oh come on I had a motorcycle, somebody hit me and I'd get another one I wasanted.
Speaker 3:Mine wasn't as bad of an accident, but it's still an accident on a motorcycle nonetheless.
Speaker 1:So I was leaving. It was in Aberdeen and I was leaving a work meeting on my motorcycle. My boss said yeah, you can bring the reports to me. I was like I'm on a motorcycle, I'm not going to bring the work truck. I worked like 12 hours that day. Why don't you come get them from my house? He's like no, why don't you just come meet me? We'll have dinner. I said I'm going on my motorcycle, I'm done with this job right now. We're done, my job is done. I don't care that you didn't pick up your reports during the day, not my problem. So I went up there on my motorcycle had nice dinner.
Speaker 3:I gave him some reports on my way home, so you still did it anyway, is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1:Well, no, he said it was okay on the motorcycle, but yes, of course, because I'm a good worker. And he said, no, I really need these reports. And he is asian. I'm like holding back to do it, doing my impression of him let's say, what does him asian have to do with now?
Speaker 3:because, like the whole time I was talking, that just came out of fucking left field.
Speaker 1:No, I know, but the way that he talked was very it was awesome and the stories in my brains are all they're animated within hearing the people actually saying the words. That's how it's stored in my head. So anyway, he says it's okay, go ahead, come with a motorcycle. So I leave and I'm going through an intersection and this woman was coming towards me in a left or her she was going towards me with a left turn. You know, her left turn signal was on and it's kind of like night, like dusk or whatever, and I saw her.
Speaker 1:So I started slowing down but I had a green light to go through the intersection. She didn't have a down but I had a green light to go through at the intersection. She didn't have a green light. She had a green light to go straight and a yield to go left. As I approached the intersection she just went and just turned left and right in front of me and right in the middle of an intersection. I had to drop my bike down because I would have hit her head on, hit the side of her car.
Speaker 2:So you kind of slid under the car, I slid under the car.
Speaker 1:I personally went to the left and my motorcycle went under her car. And this is what I mean by people driving not all the same. I feel like everybody should be synchronized driving. When the light turns, you hit the gas, you go, you're out of the intersection. You don't dilly-dally in the intersection enough that somebody can see you enough to slow down, drop their motorcycle on the side and slide all the way underneath. She should have been through the intersection for one. Number two, I was slowing down enough that if she was going to go through the intersection, I had some reaction time. You don't want to just power through an intersection. So whatever, she went too slow. She shouldn't have gone, because you know it's.
Speaker 2:it's crazy really she shouldn't have taken the turn, she shouldn't know.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna say I'm kind of having a little trouble because you're saying like she had time to pull over, like to pull out she had enough time down but she did dilly dally. But you're saying she shouldn't have gone in the first time, in the first. She shouldn't have gone in the first place.
Speaker 1:She shouldn't have gone in the first place, but if she did go she could have done the vroom through and it would have been easy. That makes more sense the way you're explaining it, kind of more like it's like she was on the phone and she's sitting there staring at the phone going I'm turning, I'm turning. The way it played out in my head was the Austin Powers.
Speaker 3:No, that's how it was playing in my head when you described it to me. You're the guy standing there.
Speaker 1:I appreciate your take on my story, but generally, I just needed context, yeah. No, it was most people. Like you know, when the light turns green, if we all hit the gas at the same time, we'd all get through the intersections perfectly.
Speaker 2:But we're not ants, I get that, or robots when the robots are driving. That's how it'll go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't wait for the robots to drive.
Speaker 2:Really, you'll be out of a gig, won't you no?
Speaker 1:No truck drivers. You still need someone to load this stuff Right and strap this stuff down.
Speaker 3:You got it. That's what electric pallet jacks are for buddy.
Speaker 1:You see what Amazon's doing. No, tell me.
Speaker 3:No, I mean like he asked the question.
Speaker 1:No, I don't know what they're doing. Tell me.
Speaker 3:So the way Amazon moves product around is they have these big. I don't even. They're like the size of an ottoman, like, not like the same. They're not more of a rectangle but they're more of a square.
Speaker 2:I'd say they're probably about the size of a pallet, like 5x5?
Speaker 3:Something like that, 6x6, something like that 5x5, 6x6, something like that, and then they lift these big towers. I would say they're about, I don't know, maybe 10, 12 feet tall, full of product.
Speaker 1:And they just shift them around the warehouse, like the Connex boxes.
Speaker 3:No, like the Connex boxes no, not that big.
Speaker 1:I mean, but how they move them. They grab from the sides.
Speaker 3:No, they go underneath and lift up. It's a robot. Like I said, it's about the size of an ottoman, yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's kind of like one of those genies.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that lifts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, so all those little orange guys are the robots.
Speaker 1:Oh, those are cool. I haven guys are the robots. Oh, those are cool. I haven't seen what. I have not seen what amazon's doing. Oh, that is really cool. That's a lot of them, that's like 200 of them.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so they go underneath 200 people they don't have to hire, nobody wants to work there. Anyway, come on and they pick them up and move them around nick's called him scamazon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nobody wants to do that today on this podcast. What are we going to hear?
Speaker 3:we're going to hear our it's a blue one under this one, not an orange blue one. You see it just lifts up that whole shelving unit that's incredible, oh that's wild.
Speaker 1:Somebody still has to pack that shelving unit I mean, do they?
Speaker 3:though it looks like there's a robot right there with the blue shelving putting it I mean, this stuff has to get sorted, it's not human everything has a qr code or a barcode there, you're not giving these robots enough I guess not.
Speaker 1:What are we going to hear on this podcast today? Oh, I have the test.
Speaker 2:possibly we have gifts, that's right.
Speaker 1:Our $10 giveaway gifts $10 gifts. Funniest wins.
Speaker 2:What does?
Speaker 1:it win. Nobody wins anything until Nobody wins shit. There's nothing here to win. We have more shirts, but I already got one, a Wayne's World DVD box set. All three of them. No, there's only two.
Speaker 3:Are there a third? I say we start off by doing the uh gift thing, the gift giveaway.
Speaker 1:Yes okay, so let's spin the spin the wheel, spin the wheel. Who goes first? I choose I choose three, which means I don't go first.
Speaker 2:You already got yours. Somebody already got one of the gifts, and that that would be Buddy. Buddy got a gift, she got a stuffed squirrel. She did she probably destroyed part of it already.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's in pieces. It's all over the house, haven't you? And so CJ comes over, gives Buddy a stuffed squirrel. That is in reference to Buddy's squirrel video on YouTube. If anybody wants to see Buddy, look up.
Speaker 3:You don't need to look up anything.
Speaker 1:She's the picture of the podcast. She is the picture of the podcast, but there's a video called Poor Squirrels. It's on YouTube. It's a short and there's a little bit of a longer video and it's just.
Speaker 2:Buddy from I've Been Tasked with Podcast and she has destroyed a squirrel, she has destroyed the squirrel. One more poor squirrel.
Speaker 1:Poor squirrel. It was great. It was a great gift. I'm going to give CJ the gift that I chose for CJ as my funny gift and yes well, no, I got him a gift before, and then I got him a new one. Oh, I got a new gift.
Speaker 2:So go ahead and open up your gift. Let's see what we got. I did look at this one already because it was sent to me.
Speaker 1:I sent it to his house. I think you're the only one who did that right. I did the task.
Speaker 2:I sent everything to my house. Oh nice, I don't think I saw the crotch.
Speaker 3:That's the first thing right in your face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there we go. Describe it, Nick. What is it?
Speaker 3:It is a.
Speaker 1:Grilling A grilling apron.
Speaker 3:It's a gentleman in a Speedo.
Speaker 1:Looks like CJ. You look sexy. Now, there we go. He's got a six pack. He's got a bulge in his bottom.
Speaker 2:There the bulge is a little weak compared to mine it is. I thought I was going to make it look like I'm going to draw a bigger bulge on it.
Speaker 1:So that's because CJ likes to grill outside. I also got CJ Michelle, because she's been a big supporter of this podcast.
Speaker 2:Not on air. She doesn't want to be part of that.
Speaker 1:We got people behind the scenes helping out.
Speaker 2:All right, are these the same thing?
Speaker 1:No, they are not One's for you, one's for Michelle.
Speaker 2:Okay but they are not the same, okay.
Speaker 1:They're not the same.
Speaker 2:This is the funniest thing I could find for CJ on Amazon for $10 or less so it sounds like you spent too much money because I have this gift that I'm wearing, plus these additional gifts. Well, it was three weeks oh wow, it's been three weeks. It's a sexy little gnome, a garden gnome. He's fully nude. Yes, he is.
Speaker 3:He's got a little dingler I would move that from a buddy. You don't want her to end up like a squirrel.
Speaker 2:You want the dinger and let's see. I'm hoping there's a nice set of boobs on this next.
Speaker 3:It's another dinger.
Speaker 1:It's not a reflection.
Speaker 2:Nice set of boobs.
Speaker 1:It's not a reflection Michelle's way hotter than that she is, she's way hotter than that, and hers has pants on.
Speaker 2:Oh, panties, kind of like a bikini bottom, but the boobs are hanging out.
Speaker 1:Cj asked is it sexually appropriate? I said, of course it is.
Speaker 2:All right this looks like party time. I don't think they're going in the garden, though. These are indoor gnomes.
Speaker 3:What those are? Kitchen gnomes. These are indoor gnomes.
Speaker 2:It would be even better if they were salt and pepper shakers.
Speaker 1:Oh, we can hollow them out, that's possible.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you. Thank you, Dan, much appreciated for all of my nudity-centered gifts. You're welcome.
Speaker 3:Very eccentric gifts. Yes, dan, I have a gift for you.
Speaker 1:You have a gift for me. This is good.
Speaker 3:I don't know if you've seen it. It's not the greatest gift.
Speaker 1:I have not looked inside Things I need to write down because I'm old and I forget stuff.
Speaker 3:Notebook. You're always talking about losing your notebook. It is great.
Speaker 1:I love it.
Speaker 3:It's a perfect notebook for you. It's going to be.
Speaker 1:And it looks. I'm going to try.
Speaker 2:It's been clean and keep it near the podcast board so that we can write stuff down.
Speaker 1:I love it very nice. I have a gift for nick.
Speaker 2:Oh, this is great. Unfortunately, this this gift actually requires more money to be spent, which I will do because I thought it came with a pillow. It is a pillow case, is?
Speaker 3:it the nick cage pillow. It is the nick cage. You know, I thought about getting that for you. I really thought about getting it for you it's his face.
Speaker 2:Funny enough, I thought about getting this apron for dan so this is all coming full circle.
Speaker 1:Great minds think alike. Look at that.
Speaker 2:He's got a mouth and nose, and I do owe you a pillow to put in this no, no problem, I can get something from likeGoods or something like that.
Speaker 3:I feel gross for CJ's gift for an app now.
Speaker 1:Oh, you definitely went the grossest.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what I was laughing about last week.
Speaker 3:I'll give you a trade.
Speaker 1:I didn't tell Nick about this.
Speaker 2:He would not tell me what it was. I would not tell CJ about this.
Speaker 1:I lost your phone. Tip. Yeah, bend off your breathing.

Speaker 2:It is rubbery and pliable. Doesn't feel exactly like real balls.
Speaker 1:You gotta pull it out of the case for it to be official and you gotta get the crackling out of them.
Speaker 3:I feel like I fucked up now oh my god, that's gross.
Speaker 1:That is so unsexual.
Speaker 2:Oh, the hair is oh man, really it's real feeling and it sheds a touch, taste it taste it? No, I will not taste it.

Speaker 1:Buddy's a good dog. She loves everybody and everything.
Speaker 2:She's very nice, Sometimes a little too nice when she does the jump move. Sometimes that paw goes directly for the ball.
Speaker 3:There may be a fatter finger for the thumb.
Speaker 1:I don't know, Maybe I need to stretch her mouth. But yeah, it's very nice CJ.
Speaker 3:That's a pretty good one.
Speaker 2:Very good I don't know who wins.
Speaker 3:I did get the most nudity-centric gifts yeah, you got very sexualized gifts.
Speaker 2:I feel like I got balls, two uh nude gnomes and this sweet apron that has a set that has a six pack on it.
Speaker 3:I have more of a keg the nick cage, that I really thought about it.
Speaker 1:I was was like I want to do it, but I don't know why you can move the sequins on the Nicholas Cage pillow. So it's all. What is it All blue or all purple?
Speaker 3:I think it's red. Yeah, I think it's red. I just wanted to give him a nosebleed.
Speaker 2:It's so gaudy, all right. Well, thank you all very much for the gifts. Yeah, thank you guys.
Speaker 1:I think the ball sack wins.
Speaker 2:That would be a Nick win then, right I?
Speaker 3:feel like that's just more humor-related win. I feel like the best gift. I do like the Nick Cage pillow.
Speaker 2:The Nick Cage pillow.
Speaker 1:I think the Nick Cage is the classiest of gifts.
Speaker 3:The fact that you can make him turn into a zombie. Oh, yeah, make his eyes bleed and his nose bleed.
Speaker 2:You could take a tooth out if you wanted to.
Speaker 1:I bet you it works better when there's a pillow inside of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the pressure against the back helps the sequins turn.
Speaker 1:Oh, your cats are going to just go nuts with that. So on the podcast, today I'm going to introduce our new podcast table. I spent over 12 hours yesterday. It does look very nice On my last day of. Covid and yeah, I did a beveled edge using a router. I took an old dining room table and that's what this is made out of.
Speaker 2:I was wondering if you turned those legs yourself.
Speaker 1:No, I did not do it. I was like that's good work. Now the table that was here the one we had previously was turned by my woodturner. His name's John.
Speaker 3:Where is my umbrella?
Speaker 1:hat. Oh, I got a lot of gifts I didn't want to. They're right above cj. I got both of them yes, I got.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's that's the one I got for nick. It was nothing sexually explicit, it's just umbrella hats. Uh, because the week of that we were going to do all this we had a few problems getting the podcasts together. Kofi got in the way on on the last podcast that we just tried and, and then before that there were some issues where CJ had some stuff to do and we didn't want to do it without CJ because CJ is now our co-host.
Speaker 2:But you did a good. The Shark app was pretty good stuff. Yeah, I liked hearing about that.
Speaker 1:Shark was good, it was just quick. A filler, just a nice hat, nick.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I can't wait for it to rain now. Yeah, filler, just uh, nice hat nick. Yeah, I can't wait for it to rain now. Yeah, it was raining that week really, really hard, and him and I both work outside the first four days of april.
Speaker 1:You know they say april showers bring may flowers yeah, they also bring a really, really bad cold on onto people like uh, like me. It knocked my immune system down. I worked out in the rain for a good six to seven hours straight. I mean not, I was in and out of the vehicle, which is almost worse, so I'm loading equipment. It felt like someone was spraying me with a fire hose uh, it does sound awful it was.
Speaker 1:it was really bad and I I kept changing my clothes and it just all day, but the machines had to be moved, that we had indoor jobs that were going on, so whether it was raining or not, the job's still got to go. And I got to pick up the what were they? Concrete buckets, concrete dumping buggies. You fill them up with concrete, take them to the site, drop them.
Speaker 3:I haven't driven one of those.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're not the easiest.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you had me drive it at John's. Yes, yes, it's got the one handle and you got to like turn it.
Speaker 1:They're tri-wheels.
Speaker 3:No, it had two tracks on it.
Speaker 1:Oh, I got you a track. I spent extra for our job. We generally get the ones with wheels, but yeah, they're ones with tracks, so you can ride off-road with them.
Speaker 2:They're like tiny tanks. They hold about five cubic yards or so Five.
Speaker 1:They hold like three quarters of a cubic yard. Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking more of a larger build, I guess.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that will be more of a like.
Speaker 3:It was a little bit bigger than a bathtub, I feel like. Yeah, okay so about what is that? Like 80 gallons? I know the quantity, like the way you guys use ratios, is different than gallons versus yards.
Speaker 1:You order a concrete buggy and it holds whatever. I need 80 gallons of concrete you go to Home Depot for that, fill up your trunk or your car just get the sacks, add water. I've seen people go to get concrete and stuff. They're like, oh, I need 10 bags and they'll start putting them in their car. And you're watching them at Home Depot. Oh my, their cars are just almost on the ground and dragging and you're like you know, there's speed bumps coming up right. They're going to wreck your shit. It's cheaper to hire.
Speaker 3:Suspension is fucked.
Speaker 1:It's cheaper to get a concrete truck to deliver the concrete than to fix your car after this Way cheaper. And also Home Depot delivery is cheaper than the fine that you get for having 16-foot 2x4s sticking 10 feet out the back of your quote-unquote pickup truck.
Speaker 2:Oh no, you just tie a little red ribbon around it, you're fine right, yeah, four feet off, you can only do that up to four feet. Okay, once it's at five feet, or 4.1.
Speaker 1:Yeah, once it's at 4.1, it's an illegal load, gotcha. So once it sticks out past your vehicle more than 6 inches, you have to put a tag on it 12 inches.
Speaker 3:No, it would be 48 inches 2 foot. You said it's 4 feet. 48 inches is 4 feet.
Speaker 1:No, okay. So once it's away from your vehicle six inches, it requires to have a red flag, the orange flag.
Speaker 3:I thought you were saying One foot by one foot.
Speaker 1:Actually I think it's 14 inches by 14. Don't quote me on all that, but I do as much as I can to warn other drivers that I got stuff hanging four feet out of my truck.
Speaker 2:Don't hit this, please.
Speaker 1:Yeah, even if I have a trailer on um, I don't know if it counts or not, but with the trailer on, I still put a flag behind if I'm hanging off the truck so safety.
Speaker 2:Third, I did see that some legendary sumo wrestler just died really, yeah, I mean bummer naturally.
Speaker 1:Naturally, or was it sumo related?
Speaker 2:it was not similar, io related. I think he was already retired. I think he was like a legendary as in years and years ago was kicking ass and has just been, you know heart failure or something. Living the life of a sumo wrestler, banging chicks and eating rice.
Speaker 1:Okay, I have something that I wanted to touch on that happened yesterday. I'm going to go with world news on this one, and this is my understanding of it. So the, the, the skit that I saw, the, the skit. Yeah, that gives me a lot of hope I say skit because you don't really know on the internet what you're watching I'm not sure if you saw this on saturday night live last night this was on the bbc, okay, so my source is the BBC.
Speaker 3:US and UK forces help shoot down Iranian drones over Jordan, syria and Iraq. Is that what you're talking?
Speaker 1:about yeah, the drones, so they send 300 drones over. Now there's a twist at the end of this.
Speaker 2:It sounds like Israel is not part of that at all.
Speaker 1:Not Israel. So say it again, nick US and UK. Uk forces help shoot down iranian drones over jordan, syria and iraq. So I like the drone talk, I like the, the learning about drones. Kind of just went to a drone conference. I can't wait to show you guys the picture are you allowed to tell us about that? Yeah, this is a drone conference and it's all it's. It's, uh, it's, it's all about uh, building your own drones BYOD.
Speaker 2:Yeah, BYOD.
Speaker 1:So you can go there and show off. You know, like this drone we built right here, you could take it to these conferences and be like this is our design and it does work and it's tested for such and such.
Speaker 2:And the US is like can we stravel bomb to it? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:And then you go, that's up to you. I sell you 2,000 of these at such and such price. So he's at a conference, he sends me the stuff. So the problem that I'm looking at with this whole 300 drones sent from where to where, nick.
Speaker 2:Iran sent the drones.
Speaker 3:Iran sent the drones Over Jordan, Syria and Iraq. Iraq, Okay.
Speaker 1:Jordan, syria and Iraq. So Iran sends drones over 300 of them and they have missile defense systems that you can see videos. They knocked down 299 of them, so only one drone gets through, that's all you need is one to get pregnant.
Speaker 1:Correct. So I'm thinking that what happened was they went well, how good is their missile defense system? Well, because all we need to do is get I want to get a view, a visual over top view of the other side of this thing. So they were like well, they're going to knock down at least 99 of our stuff, so okay, so we need to send at least 100. Let's do 300, that way we can at least get one through. And it's kind of bullshit that they did that to the other country. It's almost like a slap in the face. They were like okay, well, we know they're going to knock most of them down, so we really want to fly in there. So we're just going to overwhelm it and we'll get one through.
Speaker 2:Did the one that got through. Drop a bomb or missile. It hurt people. It did.
Speaker 1:There were some injuries. A younger woman, I believe, was injured. Some property damage happened had bombs on it but I don't think that that was the main goal. I think the main goal was to gain intelligence. See how many they could get through, yeah basically so that was a test, that was a drone test, right? I think that's incredible.
Speaker 2:Emergency broadcast system.
Speaker 1:I don't really. I'm not, you know, vying for each side. I don't know who's backing who, but the people that sent the drones over did a public announcement and they said that if America keeps helping with this kind of stuff, we're going to retaliate. So we're actually, by helping our allies shoot down all these weaponized things that they're sending over, we're looking like we're poking at the beast.
Speaker 2:We're the beast, we are the beast, we're the beast, they're not the beast. Okay, they're poking us. Yeah, we are the beast, we're the beast, they're not the beast.
Speaker 1:Okay, they're poking us. Yeah, I don't know. I look at this stuff because I'm so far away from it. I look at it and I go this is insane.
Speaker 2:I don't foresee Iran sending drones over the United States. I don't foresee that. Can a drone make it that far? They would have to first send it on a ship.
Speaker 3:I don't know, they would have to fly it on a plane and then release it.
Speaker 1:I mean, they can just show up here.
Speaker 2:So either way we're going to know that plane or that ship, either way they send, it is coming and we're going to For a while, we're going to know For a good five, ten minutes, Five ten minutes If Iran sends stuff into our airspace or sea space we're going to say get the hell away or we're going to blow you up, and we have the capability to do such things. I'd be more worried about airplanes again.
Speaker 1:Nick, you got to see the shark.
Speaker 3:I did. I haven't seen him today, though. Where is he at?
Speaker 2:He's right there in the front. Yeah, right in front of the castle. The glare is too much for me.
Speaker 3:I'd have to move, but I'll I'll see it before I leave. He's pretty good, did you?
Speaker 1:say it was toothless. Oh, I see, I see his tail now. Now he's, uh, he's an asian catfish is that his name?
Speaker 3:toothless, toothless. Oh yeah, like, like the dragon, yeah we could call him toothless I were calling him Sharky, but Sharky's kind of a lame name.
Speaker 1:Well, no, nicknamed him Sharkboy.
Speaker 2:Sharkboy is better than Sharky.
Speaker 1:Yeah, look, he's got a white belly. I love him. I cleaned the tank too. It took me like five hours. It's pretty painful.
Speaker 3:So that thing can get up to three feet, four foot and um they said an ideal tank like for that maturity is what 300 something gallons.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, 300 gallons and y'all said it was. That was like a ton of water so this is 110 2,200 pounds I know, yeah, it was 2005 uh, 2,250 pounds I believe, over a ton yeah yeah, I would be afraid to put that in my house, but people do it yeah, but I don't know if they live in ranch style houses I would want that in the basement on some concrete.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's where it will be.
Speaker 1:It will be in the basement um, and I've I've looked at my, my foundation of the house. It's pretty good downstairs. It could hold it, uh. But yeah, I did you hear the podcast cj, I was saying how I sunk my house in like around here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you said like near the the doorway.
Speaker 1:It was this wall right left side of the dining room okay, and and the door for the basement would come when I opened it. It would hit the ceiling. Oh, wow, yeah, so it sunk down. I mean, it was already a pretty close door, like I built the ceiling in and I made a good half inch gap, so it sunk down a good a little bit over a half inch.
Speaker 2:So imagine three times of that weight your floor would probably collapse Possibly, because I mean that means we're sitting here at probably somewhere around 700 pounds, yeah, or so.
Speaker 1:It makes sense if you take and divide it by three. Yeah, yeah, and that's an unmovable tank. When it is got a half a foot of water in it, or a foot of water left, it's nearly unmovable.
Speaker 2:Right, because you're probably already damn near 150 pounds at that point.
Speaker 1:I had my friend Lauren come over because she has fish tanks and stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the friend who's like five foot flat.
Speaker 2:You picked this up lady.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she is like she's five foot one and a half.
Speaker 3:That's the type of muscle you want helping to move a fish tank.
Speaker 2:That's who you want to call up to move anything really.
Speaker 1:You want the low push right. You want to be down the bottom.
Speaker 2:Low center of gravity.
Speaker 1:She was good. I wouldn't have done it without her.
Speaker 2:Thank you, Lauren.
Speaker 1:I appreciate all of your help. She's got a fish tank. She was the one that inspired me to get this fish tank. So I went over to her house and she has, like this oval in the front, an ovalized front, flat on the sides, flat on the back, and it's a lot smaller, it's like a 50 gallon or something or 60 gallon, and her fish are awesome, they're great. And I was like you're right, I do need a fish tank in my house. So the next week I started building the bot, building the base and creating, and I went to my brother's.
Speaker 2:So this is all. To impress a girl is what I'm hearing from you.
Speaker 1:It was more like, instead of bothering her over and over and over, I was like I'm going to distract myself with making a fish tank.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Did you make this fish tank yourself? His brother gave him the tank.
Speaker 2:I think he made the base okay and that is very nice base thank you.
Speaker 1:It's a solid structure.
Speaker 2:I mean, it is, uh, it was made like a concrete form is your uh vacuum for cleaning it out down there and all that yeah, it's all underneath.
Speaker 1:Yeah, gotcha, and yeah, I had to clean it out and the filter that was on there needed to be fully redone with new foams. It's a five-layer media system.
Speaker 2:Do you have bloodworms in the freezer? I don't.
Speaker 1:I haven't been feeding him. I like bloodworms. I've been feeding him the crisps. It's not flakes, it's crisps. They're thicker than flakes.
Speaker 2:And are it's not flakes? It's crisps. They're thicker than flakes, Are they like just fish?
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're ground up old tuna fish, whatever's left over from making tuna fish Kind of stuff. Yeah, they smell roughly the same.
Speaker 2:Kind of gross, but hey, they love that stuff, so whatever.
Speaker 1:The other topics I had to talk about were I've been exploring Other podcasts and I told Nick this last night when we're hanging out. I left Sarah Silverman a voicemail.
Speaker 2:Did you?
Speaker 1:I did for to asking her to promote our podcast on her podcast.
Speaker 2:What famous late night show did she use to date?
Speaker 1:Sarah Silverman was uh was with uh jimmy kimmel good call there you go. Uh, she's now with uh rory, her husband I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know who either one of them are married or living with now sarah silverman program was one of my favorite dvd sets.
Speaker 1:I did enjoy that. I have that here. If you ever want to borrow it, it's good, okay and so, so. So Sarah Silverman has a podcast that is cute and bubbly and fun and it's informational. It's not all just fun, but I enjoy every second of what she does.
Speaker 2:I always thought she was very cute too. Yeah, she's great. Cj's got to Adventure Waits.
Speaker 1:Visit Baltimore. We got our first Baltimore. What is it? Visit Baltimore Adventure Waits. Visit Baltimore. We got our first Baltimore.
Speaker 2:What is it? Visit Baltimore Adventure Waits Fit 45 outdoor activities.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh and I opened it up and I got through about 12 pages of restaurant pictures.
Speaker 2:And I got hungry and I stopped. Most of these are, but you know you could also go see Mount Vernon area. The Washington Monument yeah Different Washington Monument. Yeah Different Washington Monument.
Speaker 1:I wanted Nick to pick me out a radar for my boat. We have the West Marine catalog here Lowest prices in the season. Every single time they send me something it says lowest prices. Got to keep waiting then, so, nick, I do need a depth finder for my boat, so go ahead and pick one out for me. That you think is great, cj, everything for the West Marine is just. Have you ever heard of anyone buying stuff for a boat?
Speaker 3:Well, are you trying to save $550 or are you trying to save $1,500?
Speaker 2:Saving If you're saving $1,500, that thing's going to be $10,000.
Speaker 3:No, it's actually regularly $5,000.
Speaker 2:Okay Saving $1,500,.
Speaker 3:It's $3,500.
Speaker 2:$3,499.
Speaker 1:It's funny because when I looked through that, that's what stuck out for me first was like saving $550? Yeah.
Speaker 2:What's the number here, man, when you save?
Speaker 3:$550,. You're regularly paying $1,200. Now you're paying $649.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, my God. Now $650 is not that much money. No, it's not, but when you get a catalog for it, if you go to the Raymarine Axiom 9 RV multifunction display.
Speaker 3:You save $400. That is regularly $999. Say Now $599.
Speaker 1:As we get older, as I get older and I make more money and things, that doesn't sound that devastating of a hit.
Speaker 3:It's still $500. Fucking, they do this stuff at 7-Eleven.
Speaker 2:Did either of you ever smoke cigarettes?
Speaker 1:I have like a long time ago.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm talking a long time ago, when they raised it from like $6 to $12. Oh man.
Speaker 2:I quit long before they raised it. I quit in around 2007.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's about my.
Speaker 2:But like then it was like $3, $3.50, $4 a pack. Now you see signs at the 7-Eleven and Royal Farms. Out front of them it says save $3. So it's like it's still. They didn't change the numbers.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 2:They put on the sign, they just what you're saving.
Speaker 3:Put the word save in front of it right, it's saving three dollars.
Speaker 2:How much is a pack of fucking cigarettes now?
Speaker 3:it's like eleven dollars, I think, a pack I don't understand how people afford those things.
Speaker 2:No, seriously, that's the reason you and I both stopped. We were like this is awesome, whoa, I quit okay, I quit because they were not going to allow smoking in bars anymore, so uh, they. Now I have to walk they passed that in 2007.
Speaker 1:You, I remember being outside when the first band of this was. We did a podcast, but it was 2007, right, and uh, it was past in 07.
Speaker 2:It started in 08 okay, so.
Speaker 1:So I remember it was so cold, it was like whatever. Wherever I was, it was 20 something degrees and people are like I, going to go have a cigarette. I'm like for what? There is no benefit to walking outside. That doesn't make me the thought of smoking a cigarette, does not make me want to physically get everything bundled up as much as I can and try to survive out in that tundra and it's windy yeah try to survive out in that, in that tundra it's windy, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they, and they raise the prices at the same time from three to about five or six bucks. Yeah, because I knew that they needed to still make profit. I didn't even need anything to help me quit cigarettes.
Speaker 3:I was like I'm done with this shit, that's enough, I'll do it what's crazy is when I turned eight or, yeah, 18, when you were legally able to buy cigarettes back then. Um, because now in maryland you have to be 21 really yeah, I didn't know that, yeah. So I turned 18 in january and then in october they changed it so like and the bullshit thing at the time was um, they didn't grandfather in all the people really, yeah, so like.
Speaker 2:So, if you were, if you turned, if you were 19 already, yeah, and you were already buying cigarettes.
Speaker 3:Yep, it's too late for you, wow, yeah, so you weren't grandfathered in they got you hooked and then made you a criminal you mind, go back and buy me a pack of cigarettes hey.
Speaker 1:So I'm taking off this full week. Today is Sunday and we're releasing this tonight, probably because I don't, you know, I'm going to edit it and just throw it out there like the last one. I'm trying to get quicker at it, you know, right, and we're trying to be better, getting better every day, right, and needing less edits. Hopefully we're making America better, although we and needing less edits. Hopefully we're making America better, although we do have listeners in the UK. Mabba, make America better again, maybe. So what's up Saskatchewan? Saskatoon, up in Canada.
Speaker 2:Saskatchewan to Sasquatch town yeah pretty badass, that's where Sasquatch was from. Yeah, they moved out from there.

Okay, so I got t-shirts. I got how many? Cj Six, eight, I think, eight of them, I think it was eight. I got you two of the two XLs so that we can sew them together, so that you can fit one shirt.
Speaker 2:You're such an asshole. I did try on the one and it fit fine.
Speaker 1:It fit good, no need for the sewing On the front of the shirt it says I've been tasked with podcast Podcast, yes, and I had the option to do front or back and to put pictures on it, and the pictures normally wear off over time, so I just went with just writing I've been tasked with podcasts. They're black shirts. We can always update them as we go forward. Yeah, you can buy your own goddamn t-shirts, but uh, I did get eight t-shirts, so uh, here we go. Whatever song we're going to be playing for this show, all right what?

Yeah no, that's the reason. I know he wore an Orioles shirt because I noticed one of the podcasts when the furniture was arranged he had an orange Orioles shirt on.

Speaker 1:it is. It's a nazi symbol, but like turned inside out there's no nazi.
Speaker 2:I'm lucky I didn't have that turn this way.
Speaker 3:I mean even if even if you did, I wouldn't have seen the other side of it, he he has a Disco.
Speaker 1:Biscuits beer coulis.
Speaker 2:Cousy, cousy, coulis. I have never heard.
Speaker 1:Okay. Well, my cousins and I used to call them beer coulis, coulis, really Okay, but I feel like coulis are more referred to the thick, like one in there. They feel good in your hand, yeah, yeah I have a, a funny one.
Speaker 3:It says like a dr hugh jass you know oh nice, yeah, I'll send a picture of it anyway let's get to.
Speaker 1:Let's get to the failure. Back to the punch. I'm gonna get one more pun in for halloween. I was dr seymour butts. It was, uh, I were a thing. He said dr seymour butts, I was a gynecologist for Halloween.
Speaker 2:Did you get any play out of that?
Speaker 1:I did actually Way to go, it was nice. One chick, or more than one.
Speaker 3:I came to a party with Okay, came at the party, came to the party.
Speaker 1:I had one woman. Yes, I came to a party and I made other women upset.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know, you did it right. I didn't want to do that. I came to a party and I made other women upset. Oh, you know, you did it right. I didn't want to do that I felt really bad.
Speaker 1:She was an ex of mine.
Speaker 2:Whatever, where was Jackson Holiday hitting in the lineup when they played in Boston?
Speaker 1:Define the question when? What do you mean?
Speaker 3:Like one through nine yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, where in the lineup was he batting?
Speaker 3:they're not gonna put them one through three, so it's a question of first batter second batter.
Speaker 2:I'll give you that. It is somewhere four through nine.
Speaker 3:They're not putting them in one through three yeah, they're not.
Speaker 2:That's pretty much. That's a given static.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's a fucking given so it's, it's really I got six six spots that he can be in and I and I know he's not going to be nine it's really I got six spots that he can be in, and I know he's not going to be nine.
Speaker 2:It's got to be the Boston series because they moved him for the Milwaukee series, so just the Boston series.
Speaker 3:So he stayed in that position for both games he played In Boston. Yes, okay, so like okay, all right, so it's really only five spots. It's eight through four, I don't think, or four through eight. They Five spots.
Speaker 1:It's eight through four, or four through eight.
Speaker 3:They're not putting him at nine. Yeah, same difference.
Speaker 1:I mean he's not going to be eight. You guys are talking about him on the podcast, so he's probably closer to the four through the six. I'm going to say he was batting sixth. I'm going to guess five.
Speaker 2:He batted ninth Really.
Speaker 3:He really did.
Speaker 1:Nick did not win his t-shirt.
Speaker 2:I think the reason was because he replaced. Tony Kemp, who was ninth, and they didn't want to mess up the rest of the lineup for that series.
Speaker 3:I don't like that.
Speaker 2:For the Milwaukee series he moved up to seventh.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't like that. That doesn't sound right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know the reason for it and I thought it was weird too, which is why I made it a question.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's a weird one I I know, like you said like one through three is yeah that's the kind of. I don't want your fucking shirt yes, way to go, cj I did my part going moving forward.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to talk about the podcast in general. We are the. I've Been Tasked With podcast series. This is series one. It's experimental.
Speaker 1:We're going to be ending this series very shortly. That doesn't mean we're stopping the podcast. That means you guys should be listening in because we're going to be honing these in to more specific topics. The next topic we're going to be speaking of is drive Driving, the drive of forces, the drive of events, things, what has driven events, what drives us, what drives other people? And we're going to be focusing on the word drive, and that's going to be for a season, right, that's for the next season, season two, and we've discussed this. And it's going to be for a season, right, that's for the next season, season two, and we've discussed this, and it's going to be called the. I've been tasked with podcast drive and so if you guys want to hear you know more from what's going to be coming, it's going to be that the next series will be whatever we decide will be a good topic to dig into and dive into. Outside of that, I got nothing else.
Speaker 2:I don't think I have anything else for today. It's a very beautiful day out. It is beautiful. I'm off this week.
Speaker 1:What are you doing? I'm going to be. My plans are to. I brought my WaveRunners back here. They're in Nick's yard now and I'm going to be putting the batteries back inside those, making sure that they are top-notch, taking them out by myself, probably one at a time, and making sure they're good.
Speaker 2:You doing any relaxing at all, or you consider that relaxing.
Speaker 1:That is relaxing. I mean, if you've ever been on a WaveRunner by yourself in the water, I have too. But going out by yourself, it's liberating.
Speaker 2:Are you actually going out on the wave runner next week? That's this week. Yeah, this week, this week coming up, coming up start.
Speaker 1:So I do want to take the wave runners out. I'm getting the the boat. I'm going to start on the boat today getting the batteries put back in that, getting it started up, getting some wiring done. I went to west marine. I sent nick a picture of what I bought. What was your? It was a picture of like wires.
Speaker 3:I said like $112.
Speaker 1:I sent him a picture to say how much, how much was this? And I sent him a receipt picture too. How close was he Halfway?
Speaker 3:there.
Speaker 1:It was double that plus more.
Speaker 3:No plus some like change, it wasn't a lot more so like $220.
Speaker 2:I said $112 and I think it was no Boston like change. It wasn't a lot more so like 220, something like that.
Speaker 3:It was like 230.
Speaker 1:I said 112, and I think it was 240, I believe.
Speaker 3:No, I'll pull it up. I got the text.
Speaker 1:Now, there's a reason I do this. It's not just to be like look how much money I spent.
Speaker 2:That's part of it, though. No, it's not.
Speaker 1:I do want Nick to eventually get a boat and learn how to.
Speaker 2:Throw his money away, it's not throwing it away.
Speaker 1:It's going to be.
Speaker 3:I said 112.43. It was 238.01.
Speaker 1:My vessel holds, so it was a little more than I thought, got it 238.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a little bit, it's a double, but no, I needed wiring for I for doing a battery monitoring system on there. So it actually takes the charge from the engine, disperses it between two batteries, but both batteries don't have to be turned on so you have a backup battery that's always being charged. There's a whole system I'm setting up and my vessel holds nine. People Like you can literally load my vessel up. You can get ones that only hold five, do you have safety equipment for nine people. No.
Speaker 2:So it cannot hold nine people.
Speaker 1:It cannot, but I don't, I will before we get that many people on Word. Yeah, and anyone under 16 wears the life vest the entire time because you don't know what they're going to do. Yeah, the rest of them.
Speaker 2:They know where their life vests are, but you can't keep your life vest in a bag. They'll find you if they pull you over to, if you can't get to them right away, if they're in a zipped-up bag. But they can be under the seat, they can be under the seats, but they can't be all in one pouch Right. That makes sense. I get it Easily accessible.
Speaker 1:I like to have them on hand. I do have to have a throwable. I need to buy a throwable a circle with ropes hanging off. So Monday, tuesday and Wednesday is going to be me working on the boat, starting it up, getting it fired up.
Speaker 2:Try to get it up there Wednesday night, Thursday morning I got to change the oil.
Speaker 1:This is an abandoned vessel that I obtained through many people who have tried to fix this vessel and I finally I'm the one that was able to get it legally in my name and fixed and working. Me and Nick have been out on it multiple times. Can't say that was all successful, but we got back to the dock Okay that's successful, then no, no, no, no. Well, it was like 2 am and we're're like I don't think we're getting back sleeping on the boat tonight.
Speaker 3:I think we're sleeping here.
Speaker 1:It was a little sketchy, it was sketchy, like we weren't sinking, we were just not. It was no power and some asshole drove by us yeah, some guy went right by us and we're like waving our arms, like help please we weren't yelling or anything, but it was more or less like yeah, it
Speaker 2:doesn't help.
Speaker 3:You know a broken down boat with no lights on.
Speaker 2:You should be able to see what's going on here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was just a wiring thing. That problem's been fixed and that's the issue. You take it out and you test it. That's why I was going out with people. I've had a boat in the past where I would just go out and go fishing. It was amazing. I mean just being able to go out by yourself. Launch retrieve, come back with fish on board, right on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, crapsing crab hunting and fishing. Of the boat owners I've known who enjoy their boats. The two things I've been told about them is one a boat is a hole in the water that you throw your money into yeah, the first day is the best and the last day is the best. The day you buy, it the day you sell it Correct? Yes, and what does boat stand for? Break out another thousand, break out another thousand. You know it? Oh, I definitely know that.
Speaker 1:This thing is a hole, but it's nice. You like it, right? Oh, it's a pretty looking vessel. Yeah, it's blue. Yeah, it's a cutting cabin, so there's some reprieve is that what they call it when you can go down, you can go under.
Speaker 1:You can go under. When it starts raining, go below deck. I had a bow rider and one day it starts. You know, you're on the water. All of a sudden it just blows in and just what do you do? You're in the middle of the water, you just have to take it, you know. But when you have a cutting cabin, you can crawl under there. It's not like, it's not huge, you're not? You're not. You know, rebuilding furniture under there. You're just under there hanging out.
Speaker 2:Is there a?
Speaker 1:bed. You can put a bed in there. Yeah, it's big enough to it's. Uh, I, I would imagine you can get a full size bed in there. But that is the cutting cabin about a full size bed gotcha, just it would be the whole.
Speaker 2:It would take up the whole room down there.
Speaker 1:CJ, you got anything. Nah, I'm good, y'all have a good one. See, you guys Download the episode or save it somehow, do your magic, so you guys can hear the next couple series coming out.
