Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Classic, timeless.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
What Dad, He's classic, He's timeless. He's been nominated for

(00:39):
three Grammy's at the upcoming awards ceremony. I believe he's
Ka Trenada and he's kicking off today's episode of Studio
three one three as always, I'm Deuce and I'm joined
by my lovely co host Dylan Sash Dyl and say
what's up to the people?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh, Daniel, thank you for having me on this unfortunately
gloomy day here in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's it's remarkably depressing out there. It's pretty often it's cloudy,
it's gloomy.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
And the problem is it's been consistently cloudy and gloomy.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
The seasonal depression.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Ye, we ain't had a good day here anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
No, we have not. It's it's been raining, and previously
we were in what was seemingly a drought or as
no rain, but now we're getting too much of it.
And it feels like I'm back in Oxford during my
study Abroad program, except I'm not seeing the whimsy of Oxford.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Hey, you know it's not classic architecture.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah right, It's not like a sort of a cool
and cozy kind of gloomy. It's just a depressing gloomy
because we're in the plaines rather than being surrounded by
architecture from like the twelve or thirteen hundreds.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, but it's just been a bad it's been bad week.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
But we fight through it and we're coming at you
as always from Anderson Hall, home to Nebraska's College of
Journalism and Mass Communications, affectionately known as the co j M.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
See.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
This building is situated right in the heart of the
University of Nebraska Lincoln's city campus mac dab in the
middle of Lincoln, Nebraska, the capital city of this lovely,
lovely state. And we've got some We don't have a
lot to talk about today.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I would be a more relatively short episode. It's just
the Fellas getting back up to speed. We're kind of
getting into it with school. So not much has been
going on for the Fellows unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Nebraska on a bye yeah this upcoming weekend, so.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
No volleyball thing.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Our volleyball team just wins.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Basketball doing basketball thing, Yeah, right, because they had was it.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
The boys and girls both played Omaha in preseason scrimmages.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, they also played each other. They played like you know,
red versus White. Yeah, they did their scrimmage, but then
you know, men's basketball started. We've kicked it off, right,
We're getting we're getting into the season. Had a game
against Texas Rio Grand or something like that of Texas
Rio grand.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Is, one of those Hostess cupcake kind of schools.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, but it was actually like a low key game.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Was it was it close, closer than it's should have been, up, closer.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Than it should have been, like what happenly seems to
be any Nebraska sport. Let me look at that.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
That might be a bad sign. Let's let's get that
final score, because now now I'm a little curious, and
it's it ain't Nebraska basketball or Husker hoops, it's nebrasketball.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's yeah, what was the score at uh at the
first half? You know it was only a six point game.
It was forty two thirty.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Six, forty two thirty six.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
And then we put it away, We put it away.
I only watched the first half because I was working
that night. I didn't actually get the opportunity to go
to the game. But the Texas Rio Rio Grand Valley
Valley Vacaro's t RGVV TRGVV, turg V, the Turk v's.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
The Turk v's almost took down the Nebraska corn Huskers.
But we got it done and.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
We put it away, and that's all that meant. We
we won.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
We won by twenty. That's the important part. Unfortunately, the
boys on the Vine Street fields. This just yesterday. We
did not put it away. We were expecting a very
deep postseason run, hope, hopefully gonna win it all.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
But we well, obviously we weren't hopefully we were gonna win.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
We were, we were primed to win it all. I mean,
we're we're the seniors. We got the experience, the top
seed the first round by and in the second round
of the playoffs, we shut out our opponents, winning thirteen
oh our defense locked up. But yesterday we just could
not get it done. We lost thirteen to seven to
a team who I think if we played that team

(04:29):
ten times, we'd split five to five. Agree, they're not
any better than us, They're not any worse than us.
They're very much at our level.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I would agree. Unfortunately, they in fact are. It's just
a good team. Like the boys, the boys had great
they had a good team.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, it was a quality team.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's a game against game. I mean it's what you
want for a playoff game. You want a good game,
right to be fair, But I don't think we said this.
We lost thirteen to seven. Yes, a thirteen to seven loss,
so obviously close game. At half it was seven to
six of us, Yeah, and we just we just couldn't
put it away.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Our offense just had a lot of trouble. And I
would now, okay, I play on the offensive line, as
does Garrett when we're snapping the ball, you know, and
stocked and lined up for a couple of snaps, and
you know, okay, I'll put I'll put the blame on myself.
I own up to this. I did not have a
great night on the line. Neither did Garrett.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Unfortunately. It's like that's like the hard thing is like
you can't block and flag can't you really can't. There's
not much you can really do. And you know, as
a you know, as a ref, as someone who's like job,
you know, working at the sports programs, like you kind
of like see that and it's like, ah, like you
can't call everything because then it would just be we'd

(05:45):
be moving down the field with penalties. But at the
same time, it's like, you know, I felt like a
couple of those times we didn't get calls our way
that we should have. And you know, but that's the
same deal. It's like what makes football football. The refs
have their play like it is what it is. But
like you saying, like blocking.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Is just so hard it's near impossible.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Those guys were sending kids like Andrew, like Trevor, like
the Twins to block really quick, like I'm all super fast,
and they can beat you on that outside and you
can't shove an elbow, you can't kick out a leg,
like you can't do anything.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I had to resort to that a couple of
times because when you drop back to block, I put
my hands behind my back and I put my arms
like attached to my sides, and all I can do
is move back and forth and just try and box
out the guy rushing the quarterback. It's literally like you're
just It's like in soccer, jockeying was just where like
that was one of the first things you learned growing

(06:38):
up playing soccer. Just wait for the opponent with the
ball to make the move and then you jump into
it and stop it. And yeah, that's that's kind of
all I could do. Except there's no jumping in and stopping.
You just have to try and keep him in front
of you and when he gets around you. Like there
were even a couple of times where like the guy,
the defensive lineman was going around me, and Garrett was

(06:58):
getting beat too, and it was my guy beating me.
You know. Occasionally I would try and stick out an
elbow or even just like leap to the left or right,
whichever way I was getting to be and kind of
kind of stick my leg out to try and just
interfere with him because there's nothing else I can do. Otherwise,
Trevor's gonna get sacked every play, and he was. He
was getting he got sacked. I don't even want to
know how many times he got.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Three or four times.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Probably it was probably more than that. It may have
been happened somewhere between.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
There were a lot of times in which I think
we got a little bit of grace that Trevor was
like in his throwing motion and they just kind of
gave it to him as ball was out.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, where it was really where it was really close.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
We had a couple of those that Trevor got. You know,
I'm forever gracious.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
At the end of the day, Trevor just didn't have
enough time to get out those jump balls to Brandon
and Barrett that we normally thrive on and our defense.
I mean, we did what we could on defense, but
there's only so much you can do. Fly football is
naturally kind of an It's a game that favors the
offense in general, and they were able to move down
the field with you know, just short passes at a time.

(07:58):
I think for one of their touchdown they had a
rather short field. It's not like they had to I
think one of them they had a short field.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
They had short field on one of them because we
gave up We gave up a safety right, in which
then Stodden, you know, you start the ball on the
twenty five instead of the fourteen, right, so then you
only have to go, oh what is that twenty forty?

(08:25):
You only have to go fifty five yards instead of eighty,
So big difference in field play absolutely, And then you
know it didn't help. They got a short gain, got
a short gain again, right, and then on like fourth down,
Stodden So they claimed Stodden made a little bit of
a legal contact to the qb ZET, which I still

(08:46):
don't believe it. It happened. Like like we talked about.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Trevor was getting smacked around the whole game. They were
round and.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
They didn't call it, which was really I think where
a lot of the frustration comes through at the end
of the day is that the game didn't feel like
it was being called both ways.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I mean that we definitely got dinged up for more
penalties than they we got.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
No, we definitely did.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
I got called for a couple, Stan got called for
a couple, Andrew got I think Andrew got a flag and.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Andrew got Andrew got a flag guard, and you also
got an illegal contact the flag guard. The flagguard is
just frustrating because it's not like he actually it's not
he actually did flag guard.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's just instinct to put your hand around that area
he had.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
He was in a spin move and as he spun,
the guy reached out and he hit his arm like
above the elbow, and I was kind of just like
that's flat, like me as a ref that like you know,
when you stand up, think about it, your elbow isn't
at your waist, No, it's you know, it's about hips,

(09:45):
it's it's sitting hips. You know your torso it's also
up a little higher, especially if you're running, you know,
your arms are up right, and I just felt like,
you know, them getting straight, you know, elbow trice up
area doesn't constitute them necessarily going for the flag like
it seemed like they were just reaching and hoping right,
which at that for me, I mean it it is

(10:06):
what it is. Like we talked about, it is what
it is.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Things aren't gonna get.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Called your way all day.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's truly never that serious. It's not that deep. Some
people don't really understand that. Luckily, most people on the
Vine Street fields realize it's just a game that really
has no bearing on anything in the future. Even though
I mean, look, you do get a dopest T shirt,
you do get a pretty sick T shirt, and you
know the when you step out on the Vine Street field,
something about those lights. Every time the lights are bright,

(10:31):
and any game on the Vine Street fields is a
big game. But I mean, at the end of the day,
come get over.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's just flag football.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
The boys postseason run came to a tragic end yesterday,
but we got basketball and I'll be in the lab
this upcoming cooking ball. Yeah, I'll be in the lab
this upcoming fall and early winter, and I'm gonna get
some shots up, and I'm gonna be a threat, all right,
because normally I ride the bench in intramural basketball, which.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Look got down defense because he usually can just keep running.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right, because no one can out run, no one.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Not runs, you know, d Daniel Colin.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm in better shape than that. I'm I'm in better
shape than anyone on the court.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
And although Daniel truthfully be told, I think we could
work on our handles a little bit, I have no
I've when we're in the lab, can we at least
get it so you can dribble with your.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Left we will, because I have no I don't.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I don't need no tweeners. I don't need the behind
the backs to be able to effectively. I need you
to effectively be able to use your left hand because
that when when you send you over the top, you
can dribble with your left So it's not that easy.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Free pick the way that I normally play basketball. My
left arm may as well be chopped off. Like I,
I genuinely have no ability to dribble the ball. I
can shoot a little bit, but not that well. But hey,
when I get red hot, I'm red hot, and I
think you know what I'm gonna go with is that
usually I'm not able to drain shots because I'm not
getting enough opportunities. You know, Hey, you know Trev Brainden, Barrett,

(11:54):
you know they all.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
They all those boys put it up.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
They all play basketball, you know, But hey, how how
about how about you dish me the ball more than
like once.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Again, Daniel, we're out there together. I'll sling that rock
to you, sling that rock to me because feed me
in close. I'll pump fake get the found, I'll kick
it back out so you can get it.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Because this winter break, I'm getting up shots and I'm
going to be a threat. I'm going to be a
sleeper on that squad.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
That's exactly what I want to hear.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Get ready to see me.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
And there was a white boy magic from you call
this kid JJ Reddick and by that dk Reddick.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Dk Reddick, dk Reddick, I love it. Dk Reddick is
going to be out on the court.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I'm going to I'm going to figure out if stdten
has a JJ Redick jersey for you. If he does,
I'm going to work on it.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I need I'll need to get one expeditiously and we'll
lock it in for this upcoming winter. Get ready because
Dome Crew and Deuce are going to be on the
hardwood before you know it, and we're going to be dominant.
So that's a little bit about our intramural glory and
our downfall.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
But unfortunate downfall.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Unfortunate downfall, and we're not the only team in Lincoln
that's been struggled.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Bit of a downfall.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, we're not the only team that's been struggling. Nebraska football.
I thought we were going bowl in last weekend. I
thought we were gonna beat UKLA. Unfortunately, we got upset.
I mean, not like a big, big upset. It's it's
not like Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson in the
ninth or tenth round or whatever that was, but an
upset and on the last we lost to UCLA twenty

(13:18):
seven to twenty. The first half, I thought it was
going to turn into a complete and utter beat down
because the score was close. At halftime it was thirteen
to seven. We were down. But the I mean the
stats told the different story.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's don't lie.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Unfortunately, Nebraska had eighty six yards of total offense. In
that first half, UCLA had two hundred and forty eight
first downs. Nebraska had three. In the first half, UKLA
had thirteen. Our time of possession was nine to fifteen.
And you know, if you have any basic math skills,
I don't know if my dad would be able to
pull it off, but I can. Thirty minus nine p fifteen.

(13:55):
That's twenty minutes and forty five seconds of off from Uckland.
They nearly they just slightly over doubled our time of
possession in that first half. We went one for five
on third downs, they went six for ten. We were
completely and utterly defeated on on On the defense, our
defense did not look as sharp as they normally do.

(14:16):
And after the first half thirteen to seven, UCLA went
in and put up another fourteen points, one of those
being a pick six or no, A pick I don't
think was I think the pick six was overturned? Was
it not? I think they had no.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Pick It was no, the pick six was good. They
thought they reviewed it to see if he stepped out
of stepped out, and he didn't.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
But he didn't, Okay, I.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Not step out. And it was one of those where
I like, I feel like they reviewed so much that
game too.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
It was it turned into a ref show, kind of
like the Colorado game. It was another one.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, it was. It was tough.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
The refs feel very performative when they step into Memorial
Stadium apparently. But they got that pick six. I think
that was the first play of the second half, so
not a great way to kick it off. And then
they went up twenty seven to seven at one point.
But then Reola and the boys hung in and we
brought it to twenty seven to twenty. At some point
during that fourth quarter, Rayola got hurt. He got hit

(15:07):
pretty hard and he went down on the ground.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Unfortunately, he tried to go tried to hear a ball.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
He did.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
He was he was ready to get in there, and
instead of like diving intoor sliding, he just got blown up.
Yeah he WHI which, like you know, he's young, he
feels invincible, but you got to know better than that.
Yeah you got you got like I like I know that,
Like you're right, Like he was just seeing the touchdown.
He wanted to, you know, he wanted to help carry
the team, show that he's back.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
But when you're a true freshman and you've got so
much time left to play, so much career in front
of you. Sometimes you just got to know when to quit.
I think it's it's best for a lot of these
players to go down and slide. And I know that
doesn't really that doesn't really match with I feel like
what a lot of football players have traditionally been told.
I feel like if you go back to like my
dad's day, you know where it was like the seventies

(15:55):
and eighties, these guys were told to, you know, put
your head down and make the play, like put your
body on the line. But now with how bad injuries
can get into how it'll put you out of how
one simple injury can put you out of commission for
the rest of the season, sometimes it's best to just
slide down or go out of bounds.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Especially like you know, maybe he felt like I just
got to do it for the team, like and you
know you can. You can definitely commend that, Like that's
that right there is what you want to see like
a freshman taking charge, like he's trying to lead the team.
He wants the team to be better, right, and you
really can respect that. But like you've also got to
know like the time and place, like if I remember correctly,
it was like second down, right, like we still had

(16:33):
two more downs. It wasn't a make or break fourth down.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Right, You go down and you reassess them.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
You go down and now we're you know two and
you know two yards of goal or we're goal and
what is it goal? And four going three or whatever
whatever comes down to. And you know, you make your
play from there, and you know that's when you can
try and hear ball it maybe a little bit on
another run. But he ran from like the seven yard
line and he got blown up, unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
And he went down and he he came off for
the next couple of plays. Heinrich Harberg went in for
two plays. Dylan Rail attempted to come back out.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, let's let's clarify this one didn't We went two plays, right,
and then we got a penalty and a timeout or
something like that. We got an extended break.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, because it may have even been a media timeout.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
It have been a media timeout or happening.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
No, it wasn't that late, but we got a break.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
We got a break. And you see Dylan come off
the sideline and he joins the huddle. We're talking about it.
You've got Ryola. You've also got Harborg right talking, and
then you see Dylan start trotting out to the field, right,
he trots out to the field. Crow crowd was like, yeah,
I get it, boy, Like we're back. And then we

(17:46):
had something else where, like I think Uckler called a timeout.
Then yeah, and he's moving back towards our sideline and
just falls folds. He is down on the ground. He's
grabbing at his back and he just like his im
immense pain. Trainers get out there. They take care of
them all. Not to obviously, I don't want to see
him hurt, but I was a little bit higher for
my boy, you know, Harburg. Yeah, I got a little

(18:09):
bit of emotional attachment to that man. Nebraska born and raised.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Harburg got it done when he came in, like like
we were just talking about Rayola. Kind of he fell
down and just he was out after that. After that,
up the timeout or whatever it was, his body was
like he turned into spaghett His bones turned into spaghetti noodles.
He just kind of fell down, got helped to the sideline.
Harburg came in and we had a chance to move
the ball downfield to get a game tying touchdown. It

(18:35):
was twenty to twenty seven. We were moving. Harborg got us,
He got us some momentum.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
He definitely got some moment barely doing well.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
He let us down the field for like I don't know,
probably forty some yards maybe ish. He let us. We
were in UCLA territory, I believe, and then he yeah,
he throws that pick, and that pick was not.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Just you just have to you just hate that pick.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's awful.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Like I see the player call. I understand the play
call because there was like forty five seconds left or
something like that. I see it in my brain. You say, hey,
we've got forty five seconds, it's first down. Take a shot.
Just you know, try because if you get lucky, you
get lucky. You trust your defense to hold their ground

(19:19):
and just stick to it out there.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
And if you don't, then at least you try.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
But if you don't, you know, you walked out there
and you said, well, we gave it all all, you
know whatever, Like we didn't. It's not like we like,
let it be right and you just watch it and
like I didn't feel like it was a bad ball, No,
it just wasn't. Unfortunately, there's a good dB It's a
good play by him to get the breakup in there.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
And just unfortunate how it bounced off of I think
it bounced off the UCLA guy's leg and went into
another you know, no.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
It bounced off of it Nebraska, Nebraska, Okay, I can't.
I can't think of who as a wide receiver on
that play, right, But it like hit off like his
like thigh or his knee, and it had to have something.
I triply I feel like it probably hit off his
knee because it seemed like it hit him and kind
of had a lot of pop back up, like when
it hits your legs, like you know you've got muscle there,
it kind of cushions it. But like for me, I
feel like it's just like pop strips back up and he,

(20:07):
like the UCLA guy, doesn't even really realize what's happening,
and then the balls just like in his face and
he he grabs it, does he does what he's supposed
to do.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
It came into it came out of the bread basket
almost like when a quarterback does a pitch to a
running back. Like that's where it came in, literally right
into the bread basket. And it that was game. You
may have seen it on social media, on a TV replay,
or perhaps you're a Vikings fan and you've been watching
the team for however long and you're done with the club.
You know this, that and the other thing. There's bitterness

(20:36):
if you have seen the infamous play where it's in
lambeau Field, the Vikings are playing the Packers and I
don't recall who the wide receiver was, but the Vikings
defensive back made the play to break up the pass
and as Vikings guys fall into the ground, it bounces
off the back of his leg and kicks up to

(20:57):
the Packer who then catches it runs into the end zone.
Game over, it was similar to that the luck do
you know what?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Maybe you know I know what play it was.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
It was very similar to that, just the nature of
the play, not like exactly you know, we're like yeah,
but it was. It was the same energy. And I
think if Harburg can, like if he can continue to
demonstrate that kind of grit and Rayola is having a
bad game, I think we could see more of Harbor.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think that if personally we saw it already a
couple of times. I think the double quarterback set is
something that could really work for Nebraska forcing because you know,
once again, this is no disrespect to to Heinrich.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Of course not.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
He's got that white boy speed. Not shifty, but he
can run fast in one direction. Right if you want to,
you you wants to run fast on that wheel route,
He'll run fast on that wheel route. Right. We trust
him to catch the ball. We trust him, you know,
to throw the ball. We trust him in the lower
shoulder and run through a guy that's you've seen it,
and we like, you know, like that's one of those
deals where it's like this is their backup. He can

(22:04):
throw the ball. He played a whole season. He almost
had a thousand yards last season. You trust that and
you use that to your advantage. Maybe you have a
couple that are hey, you know almost like the uh
the Tom Brady touchdown, you know where they handed off
he runs and then throws the crossbody fane. Like that's
something that we could trust Heinrich to throw that ball,

(22:25):
especially if we get dialan on a you know, a
little flare, a little leak out, you hope in those
like short down games like that's something you could do
for big yard or for yards enough.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
It's one of very few things I've liked about Sadderfield's
offensively coordinating is that he's He's had some places where
we have the double quarterback set and you know, as
a fan you're watching, You're like, Oh, Harbor's out there.
I wonder what's gonna happen. It's it's some excitement which
has not been seen in Sadderfield's play calling. So I
think that Harborg will definitely get more opportunities going forward,
especially against USC. I think if Rala goes in and

(22:58):
if we're down at the end of the first quarter.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
See maybe if it's a little bit of a heavier
game or heavier injury than what we know from Dean Royola,
that we sit Dylan Rayola and let him heel up
against UCLA and then come back, hopefully, you know, against Wizco.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Or Iowa Iowa to close out.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
The close out the year. I really hope for the best.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I think that if I mean, if if, like I
was saying, if Rayola is struggling in that first half
against USC, or even the first quarter and he's thrown
some interceptions, he's thrown a lot of incompletions, I think
we're gonna throw Harberg in there and say, you know what, kid,
get out there, give this a shot. It's not working
with Rayola, and no disrespect to him, but I mean,
we got to win a game, we got to become

(23:43):
Bowl eligible, and like you just pointed out, Dylan, I
think that if Rayola's injury is more severe than anticipated,
I think you put it perfectly. I think that it's
very likely that we sit Rayola, let him get a
little healthy, and then then we start Harborg.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Hopefully what do we on the season? Five? Five and four.
We're five and four, five and four. Unfortunately, Dylan Royola
can't take a medical red shirt like that would have
been like the most ideal scenario.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Can you take that when it's early enough in the
year if you get yeah, you have to be under
thirty percent of your games under thirty percent, which were
obviously because we have what three games left? Yeah we
got three and we're seventy five. Yeah, so too late
for that.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
On too late for that, like we said, but it's
just like one of those deals where it's like you'd
hate to think that maybe there's a real problem there
and maybe we just sit him down for the rest
of the season and just kind of hope, but I,
like you said, obviously wishing the best for Dylan Royola.
We want him to heal up and not be hurt.
It's a great quarterback. We love the mentality that he's

(24:42):
brought to the team. We think that he's helped out
a lot.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
We can discuss the close to the season USC Wisconsin
and Iowa more next week. Because of this upcoming weekend,
the boys are on a bye. Hopefully we'll rest up
and be ready for the University of Southern California on
November or sixteenth, or whatever it is that we play
that game. But really there's not much else sports wise

(25:06):
to talk about. The Lincoln Stars play the Fargo Force tonight,
two of the best teams in the Western Conference of
the United States Hockey League. I'll be working tonight and tomorrow,
so those will be lovely, those will be great games.
But really, I mean, we got to talk about something
different besides sports. Sports. Sports. Your whole life is just sports.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Unfortunately for us, that's really what it comes down to.
Passionate sports fans, big sports, sport players, big sport guys,
big sport guys. We love sport, role sport.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
But I love you know what, I love honestly more
than going to sporting events, his concerts and huge concert guys.
And let me tell you something about the last concert
I went to. I took a flight down to Austin,
Texas to go see Kate Trenada.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
The guy who's song sure song, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
The guy whose song introduced this episode. He's a DJ
who's quite popular. He's getting nominated for a few Grammys,
He's previously won Grammys. He's got a big following his show.
His show in Austin was sold out, so's He's clearly
got a loyal fan base. And I went to that
show feeling excited. The first time I saw him, it

(26:09):
was it bordered on life changing, that's how fun. The
concert was one of the best nights of my life,
and I was expecting something similar to that first night,
maybe not as good, but I was just disappointed. And
part of what disappointed me was not part of it,
all of it. All of what disappointed me was the crowd.
Last time that I went to k Trinada in December

(26:30):
of twenty twenty one, also in Austin, Texas. What made
that concert so great was an energetic crowd. Like I
looked to my left and right at that show, everyone
was dancing, people were hyping each other up, so no
one really had their phones out. People were just turning up,
living in the moment, dancing, a little bit of.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Frat flicking, a little bit of fret flicking.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
But at this most recent concert, just about two or
three weeks ago, just about two or three weeks ago,
at this show, it was just boring. The crowd was
on their phones, everyone worried about taking videos and fun
potos for social media this Instagram that blah blah blah,
and no one was really just enjoying themselves. People were
not dancing either. Like I was trying to, like, yeah,

(27:11):
like start like a little circle, you know, and get
people like dancing, enjoying themselves. We got a little bit
of that towards the end, like in the last fifteen
or so minutes, people were turning up, but for the
first seventy five or so it was just dead. I
think I don't like phones and concerts.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I don't. I just whoever, like you know, like you
talk like you think about it, like I think about
like listening to my parents and my grandparents talk about
like back in my day, right, and like no, I
think about it, and it's like you're like, oh, yeah,
like do you you guys like have photos from the
concert and they're like no, but I can tell you how,
you know, Jimmy got backstage yeah blah. And you're like, oh,

(27:46):
that's sick. And the mom's like, yeah, I've got this
one tiny polaroid photo right And I'm like, oh yeah,
Like I get that. But now you go to a
concert and you've got girls who spend an hour of this,
like hours, and it's a photo shoot for them because
they want to post on their social media or they
want to make content or whatever it is. People like
I get that. It's you know, you want to off
your lifestyle on how you're having we're feeding or we're

(28:08):
biting the hand that's feeding us. Considering the fact that
we're on a podcast right now talking about people who
spend put their lives on social media.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
And there's nothing inherently wrong with like, you know, wanting
to take pictures, do a little photo shoot, you know,
like like people were doing it.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, and I don't have a problem with it. Hey,
you want to take a this is your favorite song
of the album and he's performing it, and you want
to get you know, a little snippet.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Of it by all means.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
But the people that you know, they're holding their phone
up the whole concert and they're worried about like recording it,
and they're moving around.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
And people want to get the entire concert on their phone.
And when you put an entire concert on social media,
no one's watching the entire thing.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
No one's watching it.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
No one cares put one little snippet on that's all
you need. No one's watching the entire concert. And let
me tell you something else. Don't let me not tell you.
Let me ask you a question, yep, how often do
you actually open up your camera roll and look back
on photos and videos that you take at like a concert.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
At a concert, you know, occasionally I get like the memory.
Like that's my one of my my more favorite things
about snapchat, right, is it pulls up that like, hey,
like a year ago today you did this, and it's like, yeah, dude,
I remember going to this concert. This was so fun.
It's like the Young Gravy concert our freshman year.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah that's good.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
That was a good concert. But like, I'm not going
out of my way to go back and watch like
every day, every video and the like to be honest, like,
I'm also not necessarily like a huge concert guy, Like
I'm not going out of my way to go to concerts, right,
Like it's a big difference in that scenario between me
and you and that. But like I obviously I could
go to a concert, like I want to take a
couple of pictures with my friends, you know, you want

(29:39):
to take a short video or two, you know whatever.
That's only naturally something to remember it by. It's no,
it's no different, but like still, like like you said,
like living in the moment, it's still a key factor
for me. But I don't know how often how often
do you.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Go back and look at your never exactly exactly anytime,
Like if I like sometimes I'll just open up my
phone and like randomly scroll through my camera roll just
out of boared him, just to see what what what
kind of activities I've been up to recently, and all scroll, Hey,
I see this picture from the concert. Oh that was cool,
But that it doesn't bring out much of all. It

(30:14):
doesn't bring me like any serious emotion or joy. It
could be like, oh, hey, that was cool, but I
don't look at it and go, wow, that was amazing.
Whereas with the first k Tronada concert I went to,
I can like just I can like close my eyes
and think back to that dance circle that I was
in with exact with these with these two girls who
were both turning up together. They were they came and

(30:35):
they were like dancing the entire time. This one guy
who had a referee shirt on to the right and
he was like a bigger dude, and he he had
had a few too many, but he was but he
was having a good time. And then these two or
three other dudes who could really dance, and they were
getting in the middle. And I got in the middle
at one point, had no idea what to do, did
my best, and everyone was cheering me on and hyping

(30:56):
me up. That's what concerts are about. I have more
fond memories from that. And I barely took any photos
at that first concert, but I have more fond memories
from it. I hate all the phone usage at concerts. PSA,
put your phone away, please.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
I think in like a lot of like big general settings,
like we go to the football games and people are
same deal at the football games, everybody's on their phone.
Put it away, like hey, like I get it like
it's halftime in order to respect to the corners marching bit.
But I'm trying to catch the score updates right I'm
pointing my phone. I'm on YouTube TV trying to find
the other football games going on. Pre game, same deal.

(31:33):
But like during the game, everyone's pulling out their phone.
They got to see what everybody else is up to, Like.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
See what other people are saying about the game. My
brother in Christ, the game is right in front of you.
Game games out there. You don't need to check on
your phone what other people are saying about the game.
Just enjoy yourself in that moment. And I'm not I
don't sound I know, I sound like I'm going on
a Boomer tangent, but like I'm really not. Those are useful,
They're awesome. I love it, couldn't live without it. It's
like oxygen. But put it away at some time.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
I think at least we just gotten to a point where,
like you know, Boomer Boomer, like, I'm not gonna say that,
I don't rely on my phone. I rely on my
phone all the time, right, Like, I just check out
my phone right now. I've been awake since eight am,
and I have four hours on my phone, so like
you know, like hey, like I'm one to admit that,
like that's that's a lot of phone us, like you know,

(32:22):
and I know that, like, hey, we get out of here.
Like one of them more frustrating things is my phone
also considers like playing music phone usage, which is very frustrated.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Does it really for yeah? Does it like like it'll
load up on screen time?

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah, it like tells me like it, Like so my
phone doesn't. I don't track, I don't do screen time.
I do just like total usage. Sure, so you can
just see the total usage that my phone has been used.
So like after this, when I go to the gym
and I work out for an hour and a half
and my phone's playing music for an hour and a
half through my headphone, it's gonna snack up another hour
and a half on my on my phone time. That
doesn't And it's like, oh that doesn't count, dude, that

(32:55):
doesn't count. And the same if like when I go home,
when I'm cooking dinner and do my or doing my
life laundry and whatnot, I listen to a podcast, the
two hour podcast counts his phone time. That ain't and
it's not fair because it's like a radio you get exactly.
It's like one of those deals where like, I guess
I don't know if your parents ever said this to you,
but my parents often were like, oh, you're always on
that damn phone. You know you're watching your phone too much,

(33:17):
Like why why don't you go do something? As My
dad's TV never shut off because he's got the view
from the living room and the kitchen, so he sits
on the couch, gets hungry, goes to make dinner, but
leaves the TV on, brings the remote with him.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
He's just sucked in.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
He's just just sucked in, except he wants to watch
it on his ninety inch TV that he's got, Versus
I'm like, hey, this, you know, seven inch eight inch
phone that I've got works pretty great too, because you know,
I can I can sit here and I can just
look right at it and hold it in my hands.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
And well, what my dad will always do is like
a lot of times he'll look at me and go, son,
you know.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
We're smoking. We're smoking dkright.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
DK sor DK SR is he's getting a little bit
of a rant dedicated him. But he'll go on his
phone and he'll be like composing a text and he
types slowly.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Ohlows they text? Did you? Is your DK senior? Ever
use the voice to text?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
No, he doesn't do that.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Bro needs to hop on the voice to text. He
doesn't use this. How old is t sor.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
He's going to be sixty six in December?

Speaker 1 (34:17):
BRONI needs to be on voice to textill I'll.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Get him on the voice to text wave because he
doesn't use his thumbs. He just he hits the one
finger out of the time.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
BRO is pecking at the keyboard. Yeah, it's oh, it's better.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
He takes forever to compose a text, and then he'll
look over at me and be like, son, you're always
on that phone. And then you know, I get off
of it. I'm like, okay, you know what.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
You're right dad.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
I'll start chopping it up with you more. And I
sit there and I say something to him. I'm like, oh, boy,
the lines are about to screw this up. Before watching
football together and he'll be texting and then he'll just text.
He'll finish it, look up at the TV for a
sports and go like, sorry, what'd you say? And I'm like, dude,
were you not paying.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Attention to anything, I'm just not looking at you.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
He does that all the time. He's not dial in.
He's got to lock in.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
My dad's fair one is he's doing something. Doesn't matter
what he's doing, whether he's on his phone or watching TV.
If you say something to me, all he goes, what's that?

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Huh huh, It's just come on, Dad's got a lock in.
It's kind of a dad.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
It's like such like a funny thing too, because it's
kind of like in the same way where it's like
we're always on that damn phone. Why don't you go
outside and do something? Right? That was my dad's favorite.
Go ride your bike or whatever. And in reality, like
I go out and you know, you ride your bike,
you have your fun. Like we lived like somewhat near
a park, so it was like pretty easy. Yeah, there's basketball,
hoops whatever, like we shoot it up and what not?
Pause not shoot up like heroin shoot put shots up right,

(35:35):
get get our shots up. They were working on our game,
even though I like low key hated basketball right game
recognized his game. But you know, he come home and
he's in the same position on the couch just he's like,
I've had I've had such a hard day at work,
Like I deserve this. I went to school too, brother, Like.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
I'm putting in work just because I'm not earning a
hard day's wage, that doesn't mean that I and put
in the work at school. I totally get it. And
my my favorite thing is like I feel like we
grew up in like an era where like, don't get
me wrong, we had iPhones like I we had the iPhone,
the iPhone fives and the sixes and whatever we grew
up with like some of the Oh I had a

(36:16):
five C, a green one.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
I did not have a five C. My first iPhone
was an iPhone seven.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Plus seven plus, so you started up on the higher echelon.
I got my start early. But the point, yeah, but
I was rocking. I was rocking the old Android.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Not an Android, well it wasn't Android, but it's my
first phone was a oh god, I can't think of it. BlackBerry.
You had a blackery. I had a BlackBerry that had
the key like the key pad you keep had on it.
But you could also play you could play Tetris on it.
Black you could all breaker. You could also break Breaker

(36:51):
was my favorite. I love do I be in out
myself here We'll be in study hall. I'll be sitting
there and be like, I'm playing brick Baker. Well, I
don't want to work on that.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
That's where like our generator, Like that's where iPad kids
started out. The gateway drug to being on iPads was
playing Black Bear or playing brick Breaker on the Black Beard, Like, Dad,
you got games on that phone? Can I have your own? Dad?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Dad? Can I play? Can I play the game on
your phone?

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Dad, We're gonna be in the car. Can I play
brick Breaker? I'm barred? Dad, this drive sacks. Let me
play brick Breaker?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Like that?

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Like that was our gateway drug. So we grew up
with phones, but we had plenty of time to you know,
get out and like play outside.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
At least I did. I had.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
I had the fortunate case where I lived in a
cul de sac and I had two good buddies just
down the road, and then directly behind my house were
backyards of a street that was loaded with kids my age.
I had at least half a dozen, probably closer to

(37:48):
ten kids around my age who I would just I
would cut through my backyards, cut through the neighbor's backyard,
and then I'd run through this kind of wooded area,
very small wooded area, but I'd run through there, pop
out into the backyards, and I was right at one
of my good friend's backyards where we would throw football
just a few houses down. We would play night games
like ghosts in the graveyard. And so I got time

(38:10):
to go outside and just be a kid. You know,
we had phones, sure, but we we went out and
just did whatever the hell we wanted.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, I got lucky. At my mom's house, we were
in like a weird age group where like the next
we were in like a weird pocket where like the
kids other kids in our neighborhood were either like two
or three years younger than us, or they were like
two or three years older than us, right, and so
like that was hard. But you know, at my dad's place,
right across the street from us was a kid who
was my same grade. And then I also had my

(38:37):
stepbrother who's the same grade as mere. So we would
you know, play football in the street of course, or
we'd go down and like we had the basketball courts.
But then like when his friends would come over, or
we went to the field and we were playing you know,
tackle football, Like everybody played tackle football. Back then day
everybody because it didn't matter. We went like lighting each
other up. Yeah, because like there was no like no

(38:58):
one was playing a high safety. We were playing all
time QB like right, so like nobody was like lighting
each other up. If you missed, you know, if you
didn't get the pick, you just immediately wrapped up and
like just like let your body weight take them down.
Like you weren't like Boom. There were no Reds or Troy.
You didn't have to worry about a sea gap like

(39:20):
you were just were like, oh, yes, I'm gonna mind
my own business.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Here.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
You catch the football and then you're like, oh yeah,
other guy's coming and other guys coming, you're on the ground. Yeah,
I'm like it was cool like that, Like it was
nice like I and like I remember, like I guess,
I don't know if you ever did this. Before we
could drive, we would like ride our bikes to like
the gas station. Dude, Yeah, that was the play what
I would do with my don't I feel like I'm
why do I feel like I'm doxing myself and I
feel old because like I think about it now, I'm

(39:45):
like my sister doesn't do that now, Like like I
have little cousins and they don't do that now. Sad.
The last time I said something, he was like, oh yeah,
Like he's like fourteen or fifteen, and he was like,
yeah that. When I get hungry, I just door dash
food and I was that is so softs like you
and your friends, Like, dude, the fun part is like
the advent of your bike. And you know, the gas

(40:05):
station's like a mile away. You ride your bike and
you're hauling ass there. You get there and like you
hope that they have like a bench or something because
you get like you're slushy, and you drink your slushy
while you're sitting on the bench.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
It's like a reward rule. It's like a reward for
that tough bike ride. I remember what my buddies and
I would do. We would start at my place or
near my call to sac. We would meet either there
or at one of my buddy's house who lived kind
of on that street that I was just describing right
behind my backyard, and we would all hop on our
bikes and bike to Noodles in Company.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Either you were a Noodles in company.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
We love Noodles in Company because the noodles and company
was about a mile and a half two miles from
our house, and there were a couple of different.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Routes you could take.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
You could bike right along the street, or you could
kind of bike. There was this trail that kind of
took you between neighborhoods that it took us a bit
to discover that because not only was it safer, but
it was quicker too. It got you a faster. Yeah,
so we we were big proponents of that trail. And
right next to the Noodles and Company was a cold
Stone creamery. I'm sure, I'm sure you've been there many times.

(41:09):
We love cold Stone cream.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
We started on that.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
That was that was our playback.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
The most overpriced ice cream? But why did it taste
so good when you were seventeen?

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Oh, it tasted well, and because back then it wasn't
quite as overpriced now as inflation's hitting a guy like damn.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
But lighten us up, Yeah, lighten us up. But inflation
is basically ed Reid and I'm any undersized white ride
receiver pretty much hospital pass. That's what we had.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
That's what these executives are doing putting these high menu
prices on at Noodles and Company. Any restaurant or any
and anywhere. Really, these high prices, it's like a quarterback
throwing a hospital pass. That's what these executives are doing.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
We had the we had a Case's and a Phillip
sixty six. That's where we would go. Sure they were
they were opposite ends of the neighborhood. Sure one the
cases was like a mile and a half. They had
better snacks though, Yeah, and then you could get like
a slice of pizza or whatever as well. Was the
Phillips closer the Phillips is closer that was about a mile,
but the Phillips sixty six was opened later. So like

(42:09):
if we if we would go out at like ten,
that's what we were headed, right, We're headed there because
the case is always closed at like it was like
a ten or you know, sometimes eleven on the weekends
or whatever. But we were always going all the way
out there. And because they also had like the you
know that like Phillips sixty six brand candy, Yeah, two
for two dollars cents or whatever, giving it giving it away.

(42:31):
When you're phil fourteen thirteen rummaging in the change jar
and you walk up to the counter and you're like,
here's Sandy seven dollars worth of quarters and dimes, thank you,
and just walk out of it there. You don't take
your change with you. You just threw it on the table.
Take it exactly that.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
But something magical.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
I just I feel like unfortunately, I like, you know,
I felt biased towards this when I would see it
on you know, TikToker, Instagram or whatever where it was
like our generation, you know, specifically, what are we gen
z gen Z like Zoomers, the Zoomers. Our generation is
like the last generation that got the best of both
worlds because when we were younger, we got the ability

(43:10):
to go outside and play and have a lot of.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Fun without feeling restricted by technology.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, without feeling that yeah, not feeling that attachment versus now,
Like I look at kids that are like my my
friends are having kids and they're like, yeah, like I'm
not I'm gonna I'm not giving him my phone, Like
I'm not doing this, Like I know that I can
keep him off of it because like I'm sure, just
like you, your parents probably had movies and things like
that at their house. I had a massive pot like stash.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
So many right, like DVDs you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
So and so like, you know, you have those versus
like now you have every movie ever at your fingertip
versus like our parents could so easily restrict that.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Everything is so accessible.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
How are yeah, how are we gonna watch something if
Mom takes the DVD player out. I don't know if
your parents ever did that when you were when you
got in trouble, Mom would just take the DVD player out.
She'd leave everything else, would take the DVD player.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I would have the DS taken for me, the DS
taken from me. That that was essentially like me having
like my leg chopped off, not because of how often
I was on it, but because of how much fun
I had playing Mario Kart ds, you know, hopping on,
ripping down Rainbow Road at breakneck speed, or taking on
my brother in the Super Mario Bros. They had download

(44:24):
playing What you could do is you would play. I
would play my brother, and like they had this gambling
game where it was like intriguing it was it was
I think it was. It was basically poker and my
brother and I would always play that. He would usually
actually beat me in that, which you know, me and
my gambling and my betting odds. You know, with with
how spread swing usually goes, it's very obvious that I

(44:45):
never had that gene. I never had that skin ever. No,
because my my, my skills in betting and predicting games
in spread swing are just absolutely atrocious. I'm approaching I'm
approaching the Mendu Saligne. I'm losing points left and right.
I would get be in that poker game, but I
would always manage to beat Peter in Mario versus Luigi,
and that was kind of where it was like I

(45:07):
was Mario because I was always player one. It was
Mario and he got to you gotta assert your dominance,
and he was Luigi and you would battle it out
running across a map trying to collect stars, and like
if you get a fire like a fireflower, power up
and throw a fireball and knocks one of his stars away,
you can take it. If you jump on the guy's
head in knocks a star, you can take it first
one to five wins. And I always whooped him in that.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Shut him, shut him the rose.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, so I could not have the DS taken away?

Speaker 1 (45:32):
You had the DS? When did you have a Wii two?

Speaker 2 (45:35):
I did have a w if we loved our I
still I played the way every once.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Now are our games?

Speaker 2 (45:42):
We Sports Resort Classic the first? Then wait, I thought, wait,
I mean we Sports Resort. Oh are you talking like like.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
So they made didn't they make like we Sports Resorts
for the for the switch. I'm pretty sure they did.
I'm not talking about that one talking about the OG
Sports Resort on the week on the week, right, And
then we had we was it we play? Yeah, we
put the tanks. Yeah, we played the tank game all
the time.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
That is one that I did not have.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
We loved that game. I know what it is, right,
we love that game. It was such a good game.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
We played with another we played.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
We obviously played Mario Kart.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Mario Kart was a class all time in class like
one of the greatest.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
And we also played Super Smash Bros. Yeah Brawl and
Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga. See I was those five.
I could guarantee you that one of those discs would
be in the we at any time.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
It's like collecting the Infinity Zones.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Like those are the games, those child games, right, I
was my brother and I loved We Sports and we
Sports Resort. Mario Kart of course a classic. And then
Mario Bros. On the Wei.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
We loved Mario Bros. My my buddy and I. One
time we sit down and beat World six in one
single day, and we we were like the proudest we
ever been of anything, even though you know, as an
adult you look back and you're like, oh, well, it's
I mean, it's a kid's game. Whatever, It's not that hard,
YadA YadA YadA, butt come on, as a little kid,
everything has much higher stakes, more drama. Beating World six,

(47:11):
I it felt like we were kings little world. It
was like, Mama, you don't tell me that we have
dinner at six o'clock. I tell myself when I have dinner.
Did you just see me beat World six with Ian?
Do you even understand the ramifications of such a thing.
It's just fantastic Mario Kart and all those other games,
so many classics, so many great moments. But we had
our time to go outside and be kids.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Yeah, exactly, because like we knew that, like hey, like
during the day, like that's where we should be. And
like I guess, like maybe it's also a little bit
different because like I don't know about your parents, but
my parents restricted like when we were first when we
first got it, you have screen time. It was like restricted.
It was like hey, like you can do your chores
and you can either redeem your chores for we time
or for money. So what do you want more? Which

(47:53):
was like a really cool thing because you're like obviously.
There were weeks when I was like, obviously I want
this money. Like I know I'm going to the pool.
I want snack money. I want I want a soft
pretzel when I get to the when I get there,
you want to walk in taco? What a walk in taco.
I'm not having a walking taco at the pool now,
No walking taco. Walk and talk about the pool. I
was getting the icy freezy pops of course, okay, and

(48:15):
like a soft taco and like a gate or soft taco.
You got me all messed up soft pretzel, soft pretzel
and like a gatoray right, And I was like you know,
and like my brain, I'm like that's like that's like
seven dollars, So I like I need to do like
seven dollars worth of chores for sure. Wash yeah, onload, dishwasher,
walk the dogs, you know, whatever, whatever it took. Get
your bread up, get my bread up, right. But then

(48:37):
like those other weeks when it was like, man, I
don't need no money.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
I got I'm trying to go to play some we
play Let's Ripped Tanks exactly Ripped Tanks.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
But then like other times, like obviously my mom was like, yeah,
if you guys want to play the Wii, you can
play the Wii right now.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
My my family would usually do. What we did for
a while when I was a kid was screen time.
So yeah, it was. It was inspired by my my
friend's mom, the my buddies, Ian and Trutton, who lived
just down the street. And this is like the classic
like like your parents, like, don't let my parents find
out about what they do for their kids, because I'm
going to have that apply to me. And that's kind
of what happened. We got screen time. So we started

(49:13):
out with two hours a day, and in order to
get more screen time, you would have to like read
or you know, do homework. Mainly read or homework. It
was especially reading because I think just my neighbor's mom
just wanted to Yeah, back in the day, your boy
could not do a whole lot of talking well, and now.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
That's why he's a huge numbers guy.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
I'm a big numbers guy. But now i'm I'm I'm
very fluent because all I do is yap by yap, yap,
yap NonStop. But it was either like go on and
burn your two hours or like just put like get
your money up and read a little bit and you
could do that, or you could just go outside. So
a lot of times it was like, let's save up
the screen time for at night when it's like we're

(49:54):
not going to be outside regularly. We go outside, throw
the football, ride down on lipsticks or skateboards whatever, and
then at night when it's dark, when we're not going
to be outside anyways, let's.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Rip the wei. And that's what it was exactly.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
So it was we had we had a good mix
of technology this technology that, but also going outside and
being kids. Hopefully the young and today will get a
chance to kind of experience some of that, just being
outside and not being attached to Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YadA, YadA.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
YadA, exactly. Less technology, more outside a.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
G more less technology, more outside of G.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
I it.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
It may not be perfect English, but you know what,
you don't need perfect English here because it's.
