Speaker 1:

You got to come back to three dimes. I'm here with my pals Jay and Tony. We're going to talk about some shit, So stick around and listen.

Speaker 2:

We basically talked about all of it on Tuesday, but we'll find fear something. Offered this today.

Speaker 1:

So for all of you watching on YouTube and Facebook, we're live, we're freaking live for you listening at home. You had to wait, so that's fun. We were talking about bad decisions. I got to break into this situation where I broke my phone.

Speaker 2:

Well you were talking about.

Speaker 1:

I was walking around naked phone for a week with a naked phone and I'm like this thing is great, with no case. It's like slides in and out of my pocket. Good, it's smaller in my hand.

Speaker 3:

Just feels sexy. Not having feels way better. Right, I'm like this is fantastic.

Speaker 2:

I'm like this is.

Speaker 1:

And then I started noticing like yeah, every single person has a case on their phone. Like nobody doesn't.

Speaker 3:

Right, i think I heard you import these cases from China and almost make a living at small street fair.

Speaker 1:

And I thought to myself like what's the scam? Why do we all buy these thousand dollar phones that can't even withstand enough, so we go out and spend between $6 and $23 on it or whatever, on a fucking case for the thing?

Speaker 3:

Dude, you can spend crock money on a case. So I got an order box for like 80 bucks a week goes by and I'm loving life.

Speaker 1:

My phone comes my, my car, my van comes back, repairs done, i can go get my case, but I'm like, no, i'm wearing. I'm wearing shorts tonight.

Speaker 3:

Like it feels so good in my back pocket.

Speaker 1:

I'm just going to slide this into my pocket. Not with the case. It's going to take up less space.

Speaker 2:

I'm surprised that's so much more room for activities. I'm surprised they don't make a crock case.

Speaker 1:

So I'm walking around all day I'm talking to my family about it. Hey, look at this naked phone. What a crazy concept.

Speaker 2:

I can see it's already cracked.

Speaker 1:

I fucking dropped it. End of the night called my Uber. Boom, got the Uber set up. I turn around to look for my friends. I go back to look at my phone to see what the name of the Uber guy is And it all went blank in my head. Dude, i don't remember what happened, but I if I picked it up off the ground and it was busted as hell. Busted as hell, yeah. You just see my phone completely shattered, won't work at all. It doesn't work at all.

Speaker 1:

Doesn't work, no display, nothing. It's on. Right now I can feel my thumbprint turn it on, but it's, it's, it's dead.

Speaker 3:

Try putting it in rice for a day. I'm going to tell you what.

Speaker 1:

So what I did is I was like I'll just call the fix it people. All right, they'll fix it, i'll take it there, they'll fix it, i'll come pay it, get up in an hour, it'll be great. None of them have the parts they need. They want 250 bucks Fuck That's by a new phone at that cost. But then I find online that they sell the fucking general, general authorized replacement part for the Google phone. So I ordered it. It came today. I'm going to replace a screen.

Speaker 2:

I've done that before on a phone, it's easy, you'll love it Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So I have. So you think I should do it tonight after I get back from the podcast.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, it's like a two beer job Two beer. A what A two beer job, a two beer.

Speaker 2:

Two beer, two beer, two frescoes. Yeah, so I have an iPhone and my iPhone went through my dad's snowblower and I still used it.

Speaker 3:

This is not. I don't even understand. How did it get? I don't even understand.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Why did the snowblower? If you want to, even want to hear the whole story, i'll tell you really quick. I was working for my dad, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Tell it under 40 minutes.

Speaker 2:

I could tell you in under 40 seconds. I was in his car, came home from the job, got out of the car, fell out of my pocket into the snow. didn't realize it. He snowblowed his fucking driveway And then all of a sudden he was to the point where his car was smashed.

Speaker 1:

He's the hot car.

Speaker 2:

He saw something go flying And then I guess I realized my phone wasn't in my pocket And then I was like dad, i think I dropped in your driveway. And he's like, yeah, i found that's what went flying. So I went through the snowblower and it was totally fine. I just had to find it. That was the hard part. Is it shot at like 20 feet? You got super lucky because it definitely could have got.

Speaker 1:

I wanted to send it.

Speaker 3:

Can I ask you a question?

Speaker 1:

It took you 36 seconds to tell that story, by the way. So that was close to Does your father?

Speaker 3:

Does your father happen to own a Toro?

Speaker 2:

snowblower to beat the shit out of me. I think it's orange. Does that help? You should call him and ask him.

Speaker 3:

My phone is Toro. Snowblowers have their blades are made out of rubber.

Speaker 2:

No, this is, this was definitely metal. It went through a metal one.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, oh well, here's the good It could have got caught up in a chunk of snow and just chunked. But the odds, or the odds, or it's just an iPhone.

Speaker 3:

They make the outsides better because the inside sucks so bad, or it's an iPhone and you guys should switch from Android shit to iPhones.

Speaker 2:

I don't get that thing.

Speaker 1:

And I wanted to send the story. What is with the Apple people who are just fucking obsessed with people who don't have iPhones for some reason? I don't get it.

Speaker 2:

A lot of things very cultish work better. I was at the gym. I was trying to send you guys a text saying I don't want fries, french fries. I sent it to you like eight times. I kept coming back unable to send, unable to send. But I had like three other people with iPhone sending me texts. Perfectly, i can send pictures, I can send videos, whatever I wanted. For some reason, didn't go to your damn asses with the fucking androids, because he got androids.

Speaker 2:

I feel, like that's a you problem. Could have been, but the fact of the matter is, iphones communicate better And if you want to communicate with me better, get an iPhone. I'll stick with Android. Okay, that's why we don't you know, we don't communicate very well.

Speaker 1:

I got a group of friends are all in the chat and I'm the only non iPhone person in the chat. There's like eight of us or something in this thing is a text message chat And it comes. they say everything looks all fucked up on their side because every time I respond it's different and like it breaks up the chat thread somehow on their side and fucks everything up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah So they all harass me to get an iPhone. So there's like this online app apparently you can use that makes it look like you've got an iPhone. It sends an I message instead of a regular SMS text message which fucks up their shit. So I'm going to get this app and send them the message, and then they're going to be like, finally you got an iPhone, and I'm just going to say, yeah, i did So. They'll shut the fuck up about me, my goddamn phone.

Speaker 2:

I don't get it. I'm just trying to help your life out.

Speaker 1:

I don't understand why everyone cares You're not trying to help our? life out, you would have dropped.

Speaker 3:

Misery loves company. I think that's what it is. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I don't actually own two iPhones that are both functioning. They're garbage.

Speaker 2:

So I choose Sam's audio on to.

Speaker 3:

We have our shop phones and iPhone, which which my wife can't wait to get rid of because it's such a hunk of shit. Well, you know, she has the iPhone before that, and I'll tell you why. We have the iPhone for our business. It's that iPhone 14.

Speaker 2:

I mean, if you have an eight it's going to be a little bit of a difference.

Speaker 3:

Not much. All they did was change the camera And the size you laugh with your fucking condescending laugh.

Speaker 2:

Wait, I wish the camera was on you when you do that, but it wasn't. It was on my fucking face.

Speaker 3:

You're your slow look away My iPhone. I really think I didn't make those. They've only changed the camera. Let's check. That's it. The guts are the same. They're still using iPhone three guts?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, probably, but you know what An iPhone is still better.

Speaker 1:

There.

Speaker 2:

I go, Chris.

Speaker 3:

That's your problem, man, Yeah that must be a Samsung camera.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's not an iPhone camera.

Speaker 3:

But the only reason we have iPhones for work is because, with US cellular, iphone has an exclusive right to Jesus fuck.

Speaker 1:

His phone rang and everything went down, vibrated and everything went down. We missed that on camera too.

Speaker 2:

Fuck, I don't know how long this is going to last.

Speaker 3:

US cellular has a visual voicemail that Apple has exclusive rights to Meaning.

Speaker 1:

it reads it off like a text message.

Speaker 3:

So the voicemails come in as a converted Chinese text message, because none of the no talk to text understands any. Wisconsin accent. They just they can't.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, the Google translates pretty legit. It could do not. North woods there.

Speaker 3:

But that's the only reason we have that, because all the voicemails come through in text and we're due for a new office line. And she said she can't even deal with the iPhone anymore.

Speaker 2:

Now she's been an iPhone and Samsung user, all right Well you know the first or 12 years now, first thing you need to do is get a new fucking Internet One thing I noticed is that people who don't have iPhones don't give a shit what other people's phone is, and people who have iPhones really fucking care what you're using.

Speaker 1:

Like we can just be walking down the street, your phone rings and if it's not an iPhone, people will spit at your feet.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we care about your guys. The life's like your life is in danger.

Speaker 3:

You're like the pastor that dedicates his whole life to telling everybody how gay people are going to hell and you shouldn't get abortion.

Speaker 2:

I got a question.

Speaker 1:

I had a question, two things that don't bother him, none of you just minds his own fucking piss.

Speaker 3:

I had a question. That's always the guy who gets caught with a dick in his mouth.

Speaker 2:

I had a question asked to me. I was like if I was stranded on a desert island, what would be the one thing that I would want? And I said an iPhone.

Speaker 1:

I would have said my wife, No service.

Speaker 2:

There's so many things that it could do. It could build you. It could teach you how to build a fort You know. You could live off the land and learn how to fish.

Speaker 1:

You think you're going to be out there like hey Siri, Hey Siri.

Speaker 2:

I mean you get the first three days.

Speaker 3:

That is the fucking dumb shit.

Speaker 2:

you would do The three days I get, instead of saying I want a gun and unlimited ammo or a flashlight. What if there is no animals to hunt? You can't shoot fucking fish out of the water, you shoot yourself because you're so fucking miserable.

Speaker 3:

I want a scratch and I want a gun and one bullet.

Speaker 2:

So an iPhone would have saved a lot of people's life stranded on, Like you know, Tom Hanks in Castaway.

Speaker 1:

Gilligan's Island wouldn't have happened if he would have used an iPhone.

Speaker 2:

He would have. He would have married his wife and she wouldn't have gone to the doctor. And you know, fuck them over with.

Speaker 1:

If only one of them fucking packages would have been an iPhone for Well you know what they say about that movie?

Speaker 2:

They say that the package he didn't open was actually like a huge survival kit with everything he needed to survive, far as making fire.

Speaker 3:

Well, he did survive.

Speaker 2:

Well, he did survive, but to make it easier for him to survive.

Speaker 3:

I haven't seen the movie, but it looked like it had a happy ending.

Speaker 1:

You never saw cast away He pops it open and it's a fucking blow up doll that explodes out like a safety raft.

Speaker 2:

Ready for him. They find out on the ball.

Speaker 3:

My name's Jane, which is a big, wide, open mouth.

Speaker 1:

Dude, you got to see castaway. It's great, Oh man.

Speaker 2:

I saw it play about 400 times and I still fucking hate Tom Hanks, the only good thing he ever did was for a scum.

Speaker 1:

I think that might be the one movie that has less dialogue than that one of Sandra Bullock. We watched Tony.

Speaker 2:

One of your favorite movies is catch me if you can, and he's one of the main characters in it.

Speaker 3:

So you're not pretending he's not in it.

Speaker 2:

You're lying.

Speaker 3:

Croc wearing, i fast forward to only Leo parts.

Speaker 2:

How do you fast forward to win in the same frame?

Speaker 1:

Did it in it, did it in it. He goes, one night He goes one night for a second to keep Tom out. But Tom Hanks is like this, blocking Tom with his schnaz. What I closed.

Speaker 2:

really, tom's got to be in here. Come on, he doesn't need to be in here at this point. I'm just done.

Speaker 1:

Like what.

Speaker 3:

The diesel wasn't available.

Speaker 2:

The only part Tony watches that show is when Leo's character fucking destroys him and tricks the shit out of him and gets away with a fake badge. You heard?

Speaker 3:

that part. I watched the whole thing. I just pretend I'm somewhere else and I see Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2:

Like on a desert island, ridiculous Deserted Island in the middle of the ocean. Okay, so what would you, guys, if you had one thing?

Speaker 3:

What would you bring to a That's easy A gun and a hooker.

Speaker 2:

That's two. That's two. One thing Just a hooker then. Okay, well then you got to feed her and keep her alive.

Speaker 3:

No, because when I'm done with her she can turn in the food.

Speaker 2:

This fucking diabolical.

Speaker 1:

That is, keeping certain parts alive.

Speaker 2:

Just long enough. You're keeping her alive and just skinning pieces of skin off her and eating. Oh my God, i don't even want to. Okay, chris, you know what I'm going to go back to that one?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, probably be like an axe or a hammer or a multi tool.

Speaker 2:

Multi tool Maybe.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's one like a blade, nice long machete.

Speaker 3:

For real Mine, mine would have to be fire or a net. I need something to start fire. Everything starts and ends with fire.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I think I could start a fire If you don't have fire if you don't have fire, you're going to die from fucking malaria. Right, i can't even start a fire. You're going to be cold.

Speaker 3:

You're going to be fucking wet.

Speaker 2:

What's what's with dying from malaria? Fire starter.

Speaker 3:

Keep away, keeps away. Bucks Bugs won't.

Speaker 2:

Well, the smoke does, but I guess, yeah, you don't get smoke without fire, right Word. That's a tough one man, i don't stand in the air all the time Would you ever joke?

Speaker 1:

Would you ever do naked and afraid where they send you out? You get one item. You got seven days.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, i'd have to pack on some LB's, though I wouldn't want to go on in this shape.

Speaker 1:

You'd want to have a few to burn, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Get real round.

Speaker 2:

I feel like that would actually be harder to do if you were way overweight than if you were just in between, like kind of like you.

Speaker 1:

But you could just lay there and just eat yourself for a little bit. Your body is just like your body.

Speaker 2:

Well, you still have to get water. You can't live, that's true, without water. You can live for months without food, but not a lot of months.

Speaker 3:

Okay, at least a month I learned from a true prime podcast that you can actually live off of R Kelly pissing in your mouth. Your whole childhood Terrible.

Speaker 2:

Terrible. That's so gross, terrible. But you guys watching naked and afraid shows. I've watched them, i've seen it. There's one called the last one standing, and this is the first one that are actually getting paid for someone being the last one standing, obviously, but actually so you just got to last like hundreds of days. No, no. That's what I thought they were going to do, but I don't know what they're doing. Everyone's supposed to be there for 45 days. I don't know how they're ending it.

Speaker 1:

It's still going out. The circle gets smaller and you got to move more towards the center and compete.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, but it's like one of the best naked and afraid I've ever seen, because there's one guy in there that everyone's fighting against which I love that guy I want him to win. His name is Jeff. Anybody watching the naked and afraid show knows what we're talking about. I love, i like him, i hate everybody else. They're all fucking bitches.

Speaker 1:

I've thought about because I go to these. I've gone to this music festival and I have a really great time, but I imagine how it would like a naked and afraid episode where you drop a guy from, like Wall Street, in the middle of this music festival for four days and give him like 60 bucks in a roll up sleeping bag.

Speaker 3:

Hit me at your woods gambling.

Speaker 1:

And you got to, you got to make it through the whole four days on that 60 bucks and you got to find somewhere to sleep each night. You got to and you the guy would document, or a girl would document it all you know like, and it'd be so out of their element because they're from like Wall Street, where $60 gets you a coke and a small, you know, a small bagel or whatever. You know what I'm saying. So what do you think of that idea, would you?

Speaker 2:

would you be entertained by that? I don't think enough people know what goes on in those concerts. They understand the meaning of being in that with such limited resources Yeah. I mean, i don't understand it. You telling me right now it doesn't make like. I feel like uh, so how many times do you say days? is this four days? four days, and if you leave your out, you can't come back? Sure, you can.

Speaker 1:

Sure, you could, but not in this show.

Speaker 3:

That would actually be a great series where every episode you took somebody and put them in their exact opposite.

Speaker 1:

Like total opposite environment swap on Chappelle show. Yeah. So now, instead of being, yeah, like undercover boss or whatever, where you're like you are a Wall Street broker making $14,000 a day, living on a high life lifestyle where everyone serves on you and there's the rides ready, breakfast is ready, water's hot, all the fucking, the whole thing. Chirps press the nines right And we put you inside of the ghetto, where you got $36 to last for you till Friday, where you get paid and it's $84 that you're getting paid and you have to navigate.

Speaker 2:

It's kind of like undercover boss.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that'd be an interesting show. To take someone who just is willing to change their lifestyles completely. I guess it is kind of like wife swap, so it's almost worse where they put you in your house with some other random fucker who has all these rules and situations.

Speaker 3:

So I uh, where I hunt, um, we're a half hour from what would be considered a big city, and that big city is 20,000 people, so a small, a small suburb of Milwaukee, pretty much, um. And then the town that we hunt in has a population of 300 people and their downtown consists of two closed down restaurants. That have been many things over the last 30 years I've been going there, but never anything that lasted over two years. They have a hotel Which is A restaurant on the main floor and the second floor is a hallway with rooms and a shared bathroom. Now the hotel or the restaurant have never been open at the same time and Currently out of business. And then there's two bars. So the only place you have to go eat is at one of these bars.

Speaker 3:

So the farm that we hunt, that is about a six minute drive from downtown and We were talking to the farmers kid Who is in his 30s And He said, oh, what y'all doing today? said, oh, we're gonna go in to the bar and get cheeseburger and He goes. I heard they're real good. I've never been in the town. That's ridiculous, and me and my brother look at each other like what do you mean? you never been in town. He's like I never really left the farm. He's like He goes. And I was little, my parents took me into a city one time to go to a doctor, but I've never been in town.

Speaker 1:

That's crazy. Throw that guy in New York City or.

Speaker 3:

And that dude, that dudes. I mean he married his neighbor, but he's like a married dude with a kid, like they have their kids at their house, like Don't go to fucking doctors, they don't go fucking school. That's crazy is live in this fucking. Now take that dude and Give him six hundred dollars Yeah, like a big six hundred dollars and he's like, holy fuck, like I got a farm, 400 acres, for half a season to get this kind of cash. Yeah and tell me he's got a last one week without leaving Down town Chicago.

Speaker 1:

Oh, god, dude, you wouldn't make it. You wouldn't make it a week. No way, not in Chicago.

Speaker 3:

There's no way you'd be sucking dicks by Tuesday. There's no to get a hotel money.

Speaker 1:

There's no way cuz yeah hotels to get you for one, but you could. You could stay in like uh, what do they call him?

Speaker 2:

B and B.

Speaker 1:

No, where you, It's like a commune, but it's not a coming.

Speaker 3:

I can't think of the name Like a boarding house Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Where you like. You said where it's like three rooms, the share bathroom, share room. You get a bunk you rent out for $35. You get a bunk and a locker, you know, and there's a bathroom around the corner and there's four people, five people, in the same room halfway house $35 for how long? for a day They have those hostels. A hostel where you just well, a hotel room is 385 bucks and you get a queen size room and 312 square feet in a bathroom.

Speaker 3:

So I mean your life. You take a bunch of roaches home with you.

Speaker 1:

Your life's better. Sure, but you could do it. Take a bunch of roaches, but you'd have to sleep on the street, on the, on the L or something.

Speaker 2:

Well, as long as it's summertime, i mean do you got Mr Mr Flix's number?

Speaker 3:

Mr Flix, yeah, net Netflix.

Speaker 1:

No, I don't have them, but that's a great idea for a show.

Speaker 3:

Dude, we need to do this. Is anybody famous watching?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's a lot of famous people watching. They just don't like to comment. They're so famous.

Speaker 3:

And then, once it's dinner time, i'm drinking beers and having fun, Like there's a couple of key phrases you can use to make yourself sound like you've done this a million times.

Speaker 1:

Well, they asked, and I was like to be frank.

Speaker 3:

this is only my second time, Anyone's ever asked me to do this, Cause you got to use phrases like well, what we usually do is typically we would.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, most of the time, what people will choose is now that it's going to be a good time, i'm pretty excited about it. I don't know if I'm going to like rent a talk, so if I'm going to go casual cowboy, i don't know what I'm going to do If they don't say I might go something go full out I can't roll, didn't whatever?

Speaker 2:

roll the arm thing three foot hat. What is? what is cowboy? I don't know. I dress up like a cowboy, fucking cowboy boots cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, one of them shirts that's got like extra padded leather on the shoulders for all the hard work that I do with tassels on the arms kind of leather.

Speaker 3:

Big hand polished piece of turquoise. Yeah, bolo child.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. I'll wear my support. The American farmer belt. Buckle with my belt buckle belt I've got.

Speaker 2:

I regret asking now because you had like this whole like planned out. I have to get all of these things except for the support American farmers belt buckle that I got.

Speaker 1:

Would you do that, Jay? do you think you'd be good in front of a crowd like that? You guys are seeing me in front of a crowd.

Speaker 3:

No well, that's a wild ass crowd.

Speaker 2:

Unless I have a band behind me and I'm singing. No, i'd be, i'd be terrible. I'm not good at public speaking. It's like my that's. One of my worst fears is having to stand in front and that's I mean.

Speaker 1:

That's probably a few of a lot of people have tens and thousands of subscribers, yeah, but I can't listen to us. I can't see him.

Speaker 2:

I see is a fucking white wall writer and a fucking TV and that helps you. Tony's boobs on his foot.

Speaker 1:

I mean.

Speaker 2:

I don't see anything I don't like. I see the people looking at me and if I feel like the night I entertained, So you freeze on Skype calls makes me nervous.

Speaker 1:

It's got to be my internet. It's not me, i swear.

Speaker 2:

Talking about Skype, we are. We're going to start bringing some guests in here to entertain you guys more, a little bit.

Speaker 1:

That's right, you had a guest.

Speaker 2:

I have, i have. I have one guy in the lineup that I don't want to talk about. Right now but I mean anybody. I just I think that we brought more to the show than just just scattering our stories. I think that kind of would you know, like next week we're going to have this, next week we're going to have that. I think it would help to create some It might be interesting to try it out, i would say for sure.

Speaker 2:

Well, we had the last time when the Tony and I talked about this, talked about it when you left and Tony was like this is the first time that I heard him say is like I'm going to be like. I never was into this J, but I think we started. we got to start bringing people guests in. Remember that? Or did you remember that? Or was I just drunk and imagined you saying that? Cause you're looking at me very stone face, like I have no idea what you're thinking.

Speaker 3:

Did I look like a unicorn when you said that Yeah. No, I remember talking about it.

Speaker 2:

You still do that? Oh no, we're going to do a little revamping. Why do you have jduborg in your hand? I don't know what this is.

Speaker 3:

Oh, that's from Chris, from last time.

Speaker 1:

Okay, i think your home is waiting. this website from my pen pal.

Speaker 2:

Okay, i got jworg and these mess with down. What's going on? No, i'll go back to what I was saying. Answer what I was saying. A question.

Speaker 3:

Um, yeah, well, I think, uh, i think a quick little revamp is is much needed. I think we reformat, restructure, rename and start from scratch with something even better than what we've done.

Speaker 1:

Meat hammer chronicles episode one is in our future, i think you still?

Speaker 2:

I mean, are you into that meat? hammer chronicles.

Speaker 3:

I mean, it was probably one of the best names I ever came up with. It's good.

Speaker 1:

I can only imagine the logos we could come up with Meat hammer chronicles. I mean, you could just use a simple meat tenderizing hammer. You could use a wood one, steel one, you could use the words meat hammer, you could do meat hammer chronicles, three words.

Speaker 2:

So first off the thing that I think about when I hear that name and I have no idea what the fuck me see. I'm thinking of guys that prepare or slaughter animals and and and feet or give them like a butcher or something like a butcher's podcast.

Speaker 3:

That's what I think of meat hammer chronicles or I just think a guy's talking about their dicks. I guess Yeah, If you want to look at that way you know, the thing is is when we were trying to figure out a name for this before I even knew you, before. I even signed up for any dating services or farmers only uh, me, jay, and somebody who will remain unnamed because he's a bitch. uh, texted back and forth obsessively for about two weeks. Yeah, and I bet you, i texted in 500 names.

Speaker 2:

Well, i mean that's a little exaggerated, but yeah, there were a lot. I said let's take it Sometimes dozens at a time.

Speaker 3:

No I don't know And that's the only name I remember and I'm the one who came up with three.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, you didn't come up with three dimes on a text. You came up with it when we were all together in the room. Maybe I'm almost positive We were like you said it. You said it and we're like, yeah, that sounds fucking great. I swear to God, we were face to face when we were talking about it. Yeah, Well, that's beside the point. People don't want to hear that. They don't give a shit. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Nobody gives a fuck about what. No, how this was created. No, not at all.

Speaker 2:

I mean the directions it's going especially the four years to do anything. Oh man, It's coming along man. I mean we're getting a little better at it. How come my shoulder looks like the guy from Snoopy?

Speaker 3:

This is funny because you say we're getting better at it, and then you immediately get distracted.

Speaker 2:

It looks like Charlie Brown shirt.

Speaker 3:

Slowly touching your shoulder, asking why it looks like Snoopy Charlie Brown.

Speaker 2:

I might think I'll bet you.

Speaker 1:

Puma's made a collab with Crocs.

Speaker 2:

The Puma croc. Maybe that sounds like a good idea.

Speaker 1:

I want to go back to this. I don't understand why crocs doesn't make other shit. I might buy a croc.

Speaker 3:

I searched up croc phone case and they don't exist. Why don't they make other shit They got?

Speaker 1:

the rubber They got, they could make, they got the name Like why couldn't these, instead of be cost, they could be crocs and they could be all foamy and full of holes.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it'd be awesome.

Speaker 2:

I think it's this. You know it's the same thing that goes with construction. Don't be handy man. Stick with your good at. You know I'm good at tile. I ain't going to try fucking studying your walls or laying carpet. Stick with the shoes Tile stick, stick with the shoes, stick with the shoes. I mean that's, that's what's selling.

Speaker 1:

Damn going fishing this week, next week. That's why I'm not going to be here. Go in the ocean and the biggest lake.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's the only thing that would get me excited if it was the ocean, otherwise I probably asked me to fish all the time and I'm like you catch the same goddamn fish every time. It's just like a like a centimeter bigger, smaller fish.

Speaker 1:

That's it's fishing Eagle. Flies over, catches a fish I still don't really pack it.

Speaker 2:

Be careful, max. Some of those boats have holes in them.

Speaker 3:

Nothing makes you feel more American.

Speaker 1:

Dude, you turn on some Tom Petty on the Bluetooth speaker crack a beer, it doesn't even matter. Sure, i will Like what.

Speaker 2:

Bluegill or sunfish or like panfish.

Speaker 1:

three dozen of them a day, Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Three, you catch 48 of them.

Speaker 1:

Well, three dollars and 36,. But yeah, you snap them up all day, dude, it's great, i almost agree with you for like one second.

Speaker 3:

There was like one second where I'm like wow, jase, good at math.

Speaker 1:

I'm thinking to myself, like what does this guy think? I'm going to go out at night and do it too, instead of just the day. That is a lot of fish, though, no you snap up fish all day, so it's a ton of fun. You're pulling a fish off a hook every 15 minutes maybe.

Speaker 2:

I don't want to get in this debate about salt and fresh.

Speaker 1:

It's a blast. Throw a bobber on her. Pretend like you know what you're doing. Change the height of the bobber, get some deeper fish. It's great dude.

Speaker 2:

Take the bobber off, throw it down, grab yourself a catfish.

Speaker 1:

Go out on a boat not bigger than this fucking table, a little motor on the back of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's going to sink like my. It's great Situation in Florida. That would be great, wouldn't that be?

Speaker 3:

fun. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2:

The city you go to. The. Because it's underwater no, it's not, It's dry now, I think. I mean there's, there's dead people they haven't found yet. So that's an issue The crocodile or alligators, I mean?

Speaker 1:

I got pulled out to the ocean, bro. They got planktoned, planktoned.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Little itty bitty, bitty, bitty bites at a time got eaten up into fish food.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they're much less than the mold people begin with. When they're in Florida that's a hot place to die.

Speaker 2:

You're funny. It's the retirement capital of the world.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Runner ups Arizona.

Speaker 1:

Is it really?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's not my grandparents.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, going up North whole week long a little 500 square foot, two bedroom, one bath cabin with my in-laws. So not like this.

Speaker 2:

My wife, my kid.

Speaker 1:

I know this is like the eighth or ninth year we've gone. Apparently this is going to be the last year, though They sold the actual con, or like resort, as condos to people, so we might not be going up there anymore.

Speaker 2:

That's sad, isn't it?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's like a million lakes. It's been legit man. It's a pretty legit situation. But trying to think of what we were thinking about but it's too far away and too expensive. How much, i don't know. They were pretty expensive. They were pretty damn expensive?

Speaker 3:

Were they over 50 Gs? Yeah, they were up there.

Speaker 1:

They're nice And it's not really nice, you think a condo out. There is under 50,000 dollars Yeah non air conditioned furnace, small water heater, small bedrooms, small living room. I mean it's a cabin on stilts, no basement, crawl space, no attic. It's tiny, there's like 400 square feet or something.

Speaker 2:

So a storage building you get at Home Depot already made.

Speaker 1:

On a beautiful piece of land on a lake though.

Speaker 3:

What lake?

Speaker 1:

It's big St Germain, which is a pretty big.

Speaker 3:

St.

Speaker 1:

Germain.

Speaker 2:

Like Eagle River. how do you say St Germain?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we stay there, like I said every year, And that's going to be sad to see it go.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, this should like St Germain Eagle River. Minak was all fucking crazy.

Speaker 1:

Super expensive stuff. But it's great What we do. It's great for what we do. We go up there one week. You pay a lot. I mean it's expensive per night.

Speaker 2:

Is that is your like? no, no, well, you have a mortar, so never mind, i was going to say no mortar like no, there's there.

Speaker 1:

St Germain is a big lake, it's a town, you can, there's people, but they're big fish lines with, like, all the fucking walleye hooks on them and fan out and fish Do that in that lake.

Speaker 2:

It's a big one.

Speaker 1:

It's a pretty big lake. Like I have a fifth. it's a 15 horsepower little boat we run, or her dad runs it. You better hope that shit ain't choppy. You can it's. yeah, i mean you can. you can maybe run the whole lake in a day and all I mean it's it's pretty big A day. I mean maybe not, but with this little motor if you just ran the coast all around it maybe I mean it's big dude You can run straight across it. Maybe I take you like 45 minutes though in this little boat, but you're only going like a.

Speaker 3:

What a knot in a half or so.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, these waves man. you look at them and you're like Oh, that's nothing. You get out there and you're fucking in. Oh man, you're rolling your weight in this little boat to try to keep yourself level.

Speaker 2:

So do you stay? you stay towards the shore. No, I go the waves aren't so fucking crazy. I fucking go right at it, dude, i'm pretty confident in what I got going on, but it it's sketchy as shit It's sketchy as shit.

Speaker 1:

But then what we do is we like to go to this one, like I think I can't remember what the fuck it's called Lake content. It's through the channel, through the, and it's just a short little channel, but it's just fucking mirror, mirror, smooth. There's fucking like 20 families of Eagles that live on this lake. They're every American Eagles, bald Eagles or whatever. They're everywhere. There's like 15 residents on this lake. Otherwise it's all just fucking woods. It's legit. It's a great place to fucking chill out.

Speaker 1:

It sounds fun, how far away from how many hours It's damn near in the UPS, so it's like five hours, five and a half hours north of here.

Speaker 2:

It's a haul.

Speaker 1:

So we leave Saturday, come back Saturday, spend a whole week.

Speaker 2:

They got, they got, so they got bears there and wolves Sure. Sure And coyotes.

Speaker 2:

by my cousin's house, like his neighbors, found bird, bird bear shat bear shite.

Skat, i think I guess I don't know, but they have some of the houses around there have trail camps and they catch the bear tearing down their their bird high up bird feeder, just ripping the shit out of it Like it's a metal pole.

Speaker 1:

It's on with their. I mean, come on, It's a bird feeder.

Speaker 2:

I know, but it's, it seemed like a fucking bear. Metal pole that it just bent like a toothpick.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

I wish I could see that hit it with my van. Do you know what to do? Is it a brown bear or black bear? It's black.

Speaker 1:

Do you know what to do with a black bear? Do you run or do you play dead?

Speaker 2:

It's, it's. You stand still right, are you? you? uh, i don't know.

Speaker 1:

It's one of the two.

Speaker 2:

You just stand up really high.

Speaker 1:

Brown bears want you to run, or the brown bears want you to play dead.

Speaker 2:

Black bears want you to run between a brown and a grizzly.

Speaker 1:

There's no difference. 400 pounds.

Speaker 3:

No, they're the same.

Speaker 1:

Is it the same? Yeah, i don't know.

Speaker 3:

Brown bear, grizzly and bear are all the same.

Speaker 2:

Those are the regional names. Oh, or the region.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, where they live. Okay, so, like a poly, black roly poly, a potato bug, and a pill bug.

Speaker 3:

Black bears. Black bears are what we have in Wisconsin.

Speaker 1:

You should have done bear facts instead of pill. I just thought that was that was.

Speaker 2:

You know, i might have missed one of them or two of them, but I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 1:

It was kind of interesting.

Speaker 2:

I'll give you another fact next, in two weeks, since you're not going to be here next week watching.

Speaker 1:

Bobber's Bob.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, i don't know what you're doing. So you go on the lake, you go by yourself or you go with your wife, you go with your wife, your kid, you kidfish.

Speaker 1:

Kid will come for some of that She gets bored. She's like Oh, i think me back that kind of why would you stay out sitting on a boat doing nothing with mom and dad when you could be up at the cabin with your neighbor, friend and whatever else?

Speaker 2:

So yeah, So and then Tony is at his cabin, his trailer park for the. He's on vacation, middle class trailer park for for this week And he's like. He's like I had. I came here, I came here on vacation and you can't. We asked them. You're on vacation, but you're working.

Speaker 3:

So he comes in. I don't have a choice.

Speaker 2:

My request for off was denied, So his wife made him made a job happen the same time they're on vacation at their trailer park.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so she's having a time of her life.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, that's just since hubby's not around even.

Speaker 2:

We could not get on the internet. We tried calling her. She did not answer the phone.

Speaker 3:

I saw she's having fun.

Speaker 2:

She just called you back 20 minutes ago.

Speaker 3:

Yes, swim times over now.

Speaker 2:

And then I saw Tony click on a couple options like what I'll talk to you later.

Speaker 3:

I sent her the quick text. I'm in an estimate. Call me later.

Speaker 2:

You send that one to me all the fucking time You asshole. Now I know you aren't an estimate, you dick.

Speaker 3:

No, when I send it I am, Otherwise I say I call you back bullshit.

Speaker 2:

No, you always estimate. You always use it like I'll call him at night. At night, i'm in an estimate, can't answer the phone, what the fuck? And I believe you. That's terrible.

Speaker 3:

I believe you, i'll start sending you pictures and other people's. I'm in an estimate. This is Diane.

Speaker 1:

See, that's, that's Diane. There I'm in an estimate. I swear it's still light in the house, i think you swear to God you had it automated.

Speaker 3:

for whatever I call it, just say it won't be weird when I ask my potential customer Can I get a quick picture of you? Yeah, one of my buddies doesn't actually believe that I'm in a stranger's house right now.

Speaker 1:

So I got to prove this is totally not weird at all, it's normal.

Speaker 2:

I think now I'm going to ask for it. Now I want to find out next time that you call, or prove it. I want you to And I don't ask you to, but now that you mentioned it, i want to prove.

Speaker 3:

So now I got to ask the customer Do you by chance have a copy of today's newspaper So I can?

Speaker 2:

actually know I want you to do is I want you to for them to hold up the tile or the selection they made for what you're going to do at the house. And if they don't have a selection, i want you to have a tape measure out measuring what you're going to be tiling. Otherwise it's not legit.

Speaker 3:

So my friend, who doesn't believe that I'm actually in an estimate, asked for a topless picture.

Speaker 1:

So I know we just met Mike, but I'm going to take my shirt off and take a picture of me.

Speaker 3:

You got a powder room I could use so I could get the right angle in the mirror.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, i don't want to see that, just want to see what you're tiling. I swear to God, you're not. You're not in an estimate, or could just be like you said your fat thumbs. Wait, did you say that? or someone else say that?

Speaker 3:

Well, you did sounds like something that makes sense for me.

Speaker 2:

You did say you did text us a weird thing that didn't make sense, and Chris said that was just him talking.

Speaker 3:

He sent a picture of an order. I go, I'm not going to open it, but it looks fine Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's what you're talking about. I thought, okay, yeah, see, doesn't make sense to me. Now it does. That would have helped, but you know whatever.
