We're a little razzle dazzled.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
And it's all right.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
I take no harm with it. I knew it was
an accident, but Daniel did have my mic muted.

Speaker 2 (00:54):

campus in the heart of downtown Lincoln. Kicking off today's
episode with little bos skags. I love me some skags,
but anyways, we got we got kind of a full
agenda here. Not not gonna take super long, but there's
a lot of a lot of individual points I want

(02:19):
to hit. One of the Big Ones is. Recently, it
was Valentine's Day.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
It was Valentine's Day on Friday.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was Valentine's Day. I was unfortunately not in town
because I was ringing oouncing fights in Minnesota. You know,
you can't think of a better Valentine's Day activity than
going to some boxing fights where a couple of guys
are trying to beat the crap out of it.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
That's what everybody wants to beat each other up and
be happy. I guess'thing like that.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's certainly what I did, and it's certainly what a
few hundred other people at the Grand Casino in Hinckley,
Minnesota wanted to do. But we'll get onto that later.
It was Valentine's Day, and you know I bought I
I haven't given them to her yet because obviously I
was out of town.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
But what I seeing her came straight from the airport cade.
That's how important this podcast is.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
But what I did for Jenna is I got some chocolates.
I got chocolates, very nice. We were I was at
Walgreens with her and one of her friends and we
were just walking around and she saw those chocolates and
she was like, hey, those look good. So I'm like, noed,
no died taken down, not literally but figuratively. And she
loves Snoopy and that little duck that's always with Snoopy.

(03:24):
What's the duck's name. It's no, I don't think it's
it doesn't even have a name, or like that little
like you know what I'm talking about, the Snoopy and
the Woodstock.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's Woodstock.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
That's the duck, like little tiny ducks name or whatever?

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
A duck?

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Woodstock is a fictional character in the comic strip Peanuts,
small little bird of unknown species and Snoopy pest.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Okay, it's a bird of unknown species, unknown species. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so it's a bird of unknown species. I got a
Snoopy and Woodstock card for her because she loves Snoopy
and Woodstock. Right away on Valentine's Day, she sent me
a couple gifts or jiffs, whichever camp you're in. She
sent a couple of gifts to me of of Snoopy
and was stuck, and I was like, yeah, she's gonna

(04:02):
love this car when I give it.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
She love this.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
So I got some chocolates card and then kind of
a present. I got some I got her this. She
said she'd wanted this cookbook from some influencer on Instagram,
and it has actually a lot of really good looking recipes,
and she's always wanted to like make food with me.
A lot of times she just suggests, you know.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
What's do you know what it was called?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Uh, it was something about hold on, I need to
take a look at this.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I don't remember even what it was called. I just
remember she she told me when we were just like
we were doom scrolling on Instagram. She told me, as
people do, as people do, and she told me like, look,
I think this. I follow this influencer and I think
this on cookbook would be great. And I had to
like re memorize that the account name so that I
didn't get it and be a bad boyfriend. But I

(04:49):
couldn't write it anywhere because I was with her for
a little bit, so I was just in my head
while we were hanging out. I was like, don't forget that.
She just locked in.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
You're hitting that yeah, yeah, right right exactly. I'm trying
to lock it my head, memorizing so that it doesn't
go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's from some account fit foody Living, I think and
then I'll Live Your Best Life cookbook. And it's got
all sorts of like recipes that are you hear the
you hear the foods in there. It's like cookies and cream,
French toast and all these other like like very rich
dishes like that are both like breakfast, lunch, dinner, savory

(05:23):
and sweet. Everything's very rich, but you know, with like
a protein focus or whatever making it a little bit healthier.
I got one of those, and I'm gonna pick a
recipe and I'm gonna gather all the ingredients. Sometime this week,
we're gonna meet together at my house. I'll have some
music on and we're just gonna cook together. Because I
I she she values experiences more than she values things.

(05:43):
It's something that she's been wanting to do with me
for a while. So so that's my Valentine's Day, I
mean not on Valentine's We'll see.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
And then now it's something like you spice it up
a little bit, right, You open it and you find
a recipe and you just go buy the ingredients.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
First, Yeah, and you take it straight there and you go.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Bout you this here's his book, right, and then secretly
the whole entire time. Everything's in the jeep and you're like,
but actually, we're going to be making it right now.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
We're gonna be whipped.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Does she live in the house.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
She still lives in Kayameg. Yeah, okay, so so she's
still there. So she's always pretty close. So she'll be
able to come over one of these days and very easily.
You know, we're putting that thing to work. Yeah, exactly,
we'll chef something up and we'll we'll put that that
cookbook to lovely use. And it was virtual, which is
kind of bizarre. I bought the thing. I saw a
billion address and no shipping address, so I bought it.

(06:33):
All of a sudden, it's on my phone and I
was like, oh, well, there we go.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
So I got the cookbook and Dylan, I I believe
you are?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Are you are a single man? Currently?

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Are you not single man? Currently?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Currently? A single man?

Speaker 4 (06:44):
So?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
So what what is a single man such as yourself
spent on?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like?

Speaker 2 (06:48):
What what do you do on Valentine?

Speaker 4 (06:49):
So Valentine's Day is a Friday. Obviously I had one
class on Friday. So I went to my morning class. Sure, uh,
and then I went home, right, I did laundry laundry.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Uh, swept my floor. You swept the floor, picked up
my room. Yes, went to the gym.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Jim dashed the check at the gym. That's what you do.
Whenever I work out with my friends. We just say
we're cashing check.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Cashing the check, so there you cash and I made dinner. Okay,
it's actually delicious, funny enough. Got this recipe from TikTok.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
You got it from TikTok.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Chicken bacon, Chipotle Ranch Chicken burritos.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Chicken bacon, Chipotle Ranch Ranch burrito burrito bus. That's it
was delicious, thoroughly made dinner, made dinner, um, and chill up.
Watched a little bit of a cross because that was
on of course. Uh yeah, I mean that was it.

(07:47):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
How it was a relaxing day for a fellow like me.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
And that's all you can do on Valentine's Day is
just kind of a self cared day. On a day
where various partners are caring for each other in their relationships,
you just got to care for yourself. My That's how
it rolls. The two days before Valentine's Day, I went
out to dinner at Cleo, a Mediterranean place, in Omaha
got really good food. So I did that before, and
I'm gonna do this little cooking thing and giving her
a few small gifts after. But on Valentine's Day, I

(08:15):
did boxing, which we're we're again gonna get into. But
but but before I want to, I want to delve
into some of the I've always wondered, like, you know, America,
we have like our set way of doing all these holidays,
and I feel like I never give other countries the
attention they deserve, especially with a holiday like Valentine's Day.
I've never even once thought about, like, oh, what like

(08:37):
maybe maybe some other countries don't just do chocolates and
flowers on one day and then bam, that's it, kind
of onto the next. Ours is it's not transactional is
the wrong word for it, because it's obviously not. It's
it's about loving gestures. But for us it comes and
goes in one day, and other countries it's not so simple.

(08:57):
I one of these links, one of these websites here
has a list of a bunch of fun things that
different countries do on Valentine's Day, And I think the
women of Japan have got a great gig if you
can get it, because because take a listen to this
if you if you cook on the link and you
can go read it.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Pulled it up right now, so let me read it
for you.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
In Japan, it is customary for women to give chocolates
to men on Valentine's Day. Geary choco or obligation chocolate
is given to casual friends and colleagues. It is a
gesture of appreciation and respect. The more expensive, I'm not
even gonna trying to pronounce that true feeling. Chocolate is
reserved for romantic partners. So the ladies buy chocolates for

(09:42):
the men. So it sounds great, good life to live.
I love chocolate. All I do is eat chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
Anytime I'm out at a restaurant, I need chocolate desserts,
chocolate cake, chocolate pie.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, this is not me, that's not you don't do chocolate.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's fair enough. This is vie, each his their own.
So it might not be as much your vibe. But
for chocolate lovers it's great. But there's a there's a catch.
Oh there's a big catch, which I'm about to clue
you guys in on men return the favor on White Day,
which is celebrated on March fourteenth, a whole month later.
So they celebrate White Day and they men buy a gift,

(10:17):
and the gift ranges from flowers to fine jewelry. So
the men got to return the favor a month later
with flowers or fine jewelry. However, it is expected to
be at least three times three times the value of
the chocolates. Three times three times of value.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
No, so.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I'm just playing around with all these sound effects. By
the way, we I just like button mashing.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
We ain't doing that.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's so funny.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
We ain't doing that.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
But think about three times as expensive. So that that
kind of sets me in a bit of a panic,
because imagine, like your girl, you and your girlfriend are
in a serious relationship.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Now if long term love each other, yeah, and how
it is.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
And if you're in a long term relationship, you're willing
to spend more money on your significant other, obviously, But
imagine you get your like your girlfriend gives you some
chocolates and you're she's like, hey, look, I know you
really like chocolate. I know this brand you've been really
obsessing over, and here you go, and in your head
You're like, as I'm getting the chocolates, I'm like, oh wow, thanks,

(11:21):
But in my head I'm already just calculating. I'm saying, oh, boy,
I'm gonna have to get this is gonna be two
hundred and fifty three hundred, three hundred and fifty dollars,
Like I'm gonna have to buy a nice gift to
return the FAF.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
You're buying a good necklace, maybe some ear ring.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Which you're more than happy to do, but boy, your
pockets are gonna be thin after that.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Imagine like you don't even really get much of a
recovery time.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
You get a month. You get a month to hurry
up and get something nice.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, exactly to figure out what you're gonna get her.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
But that and then you're also like, well what if
you don't have them? What if you don't have three
times the money? At least three times.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Right, think about three times as expensive.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
The I love.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Well, let's also think about it this way. Yeah, I
don't know if I want one hundred dollars worth of chocolate. Oh,
I do hundred dollars worth of chocolate, But it's a
lot of chocolate.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's a lot of chocolate. But if it's really nice,
it could be small quantities. But it's like that premium
like yard Ellie times ten.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
It could be that really nice stuff. But these ladies
in Japan have got a great gig going. It's phenomenal chocolate.
A few pieces of chocolate for a jewelry. Like financially,
when you talk about pricing, the trade off not really even.
But hey, that's just chivalry is not dead, not in
Japan anyway. Now, what other traditions do we have? There

(12:44):
were a few, Oh yes, take a look just down
below Japan. We have Denmark. Now Denmark, this one is not.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Denmark's not too bad.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
This one's not financially shocking. I just think this is funny.
In Denmark, loved ones exchange handmade cards adorned with press
snowdrop flowers. Danish men often give women a whatever that
word says, or a joke letter with a playful poem
or rhyme. Instead of signing their name, the sender leaves

(13:13):
a series of dots, one for each letter of their name.
If the recipient correctly guesses who sent the letter, they
receive a chocolate egg. On Easter Sunday, if they fail,
they owe the sender a chocolate egg instead. And you see,
this is what I'm saying with on In America, the
day comes and goes. Typically all the special things are

(13:34):
done on Valentine's Day or a few days before, a
few days after, depending on your schedules. But here this
is Easter Sunday. They're dragging this out on another two months.
Probably that's another two months that they're dragging this on.
I just it's a lot of time time. But you get,
I think that's such a fun idea. You get like
it's like a little little puzzle to solve, like you're
you're cracking a code. You get the dots on it.

(13:56):
I'd feel like I'd feel like a detective, which is
one of my dream jobs I've told myself in another life,
I would be like a police detective, you know, solving it.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Actually, oh god, I can't think of his name.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now, Sherlock Holmes, thank you, not quote British, but I
would love to be detective. But you get, you get
a little puzzle to solve. If you're a lady and
you received a joke letter from this man, and if
you correctly guess who sent the letter, they receive a
chocolate egg. So the ladies, if they guess correct, they

(14:30):
reach a chocolate egg, but if they fail, they owe
the sender a chocolate egg. So, and I'm a big
chocolate guy said, you know what I'm doing, dying.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
I couldn't tell you. I'm writing. I'm writing a million letters.
I'm everybody. I'm writing one and I'm copying and pasting it.
I'm making up.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
You might as well just hit the fax machine.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, I'm making a million copies and I'm
I'm going door to door. I'm putting this in everyone's mailbox.
You better run me my chocolate egg. That's an infinite
chocolate glitch right there.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, I get in theory.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's funny, like, and I wonder how strictly people adhere
to that. Someone has to have tried that well, I mean,
at the end of the day, Valentine's Day is just
a scam from big Valentine, from big Chocolate, from big
Chocolate and big women.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
Strike that from the tape, strike back from the tape
that came out, So that is not at all what
from big Girlfriend, big girlfriend and wife, big romance, big romance,
big big, big romance.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Is coming in to take your money. The flower companies,
the chocolate companies, not what he meant. That what it meant.
They want to take all your money, and they succeed
because I've I've been buying a lot of chocolate. Guard,
he got a few bucks out of me.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
You buy the chocolate, you buy the flowers, you buy
roses or flowers cards. Gotta take her to dinner, yes,
maybe an activity, yes, or maybe if she's extra specialty,
you take her on a little romantic getaway weekend.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's like, holy shit, man, I just spent so much
fucking money.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, a lot of dope, a lot of money. A
lot of those Valentine's Day is pricey, and the chocolate
eggs would be a great glitch because then I get
like essentially infinite chocolate eggs. So then I so then
I have enough funny, so I won't be buying chocolate
for the rest of the year. So that's like, that's
some money saved. You know that that money that I

(16:18):
otherwise would have spent on chocolate, I can then spend
on my girlfriend's gift. So I'm just thinking like an economist.
I'm trying to think like a businessman. I love the
chocolate egg bit. Someone has to have tried to do
that in Denmark already, but I love.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
It, Daniel.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Just for you, I'm going to try and get to
see Geared Deli Chocolate company sponsorship.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Geared Deli Chocolate Let's see.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Let's see if I can.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Let's see if you can actually get a sponsorship from them.
I'm on the Gearedli website.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I did buy that now I company. There was a
website with a few other interesting stories. While Dylan's looking
that up, a few other interesting traditions. Uh, you know
that England traditionally does not have very good food. Correct?

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Traditional England is traditional, exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
England's food scene is traditionally looked down upon, and everyone
says they eat like they're you know, like like Germans
are still flying overhead in World War Two with this
just unseasoned food, barely cooked, cold, gross and grimy. Yeah,
and let me tell you that it hasn't changed over
Valentine's Day in England. Valentine's Day traditions vary across different regions,

(17:24):
but one common occurrence is the singing of special songs
by children, uh, for which they are rewarded with candy, fruit,
or money, so two of those three things are good.
Many English people bake Valentine buns with plums, raisins, or
caraway seeds, which harkens back to a celebration of good harvest. Okay, now,

(17:47):
now let me if on Valentine's Day, imagine you're like
a kid who moves overseas one year. You're in the US.
You're eating all this chocolate because, like, I don't know,
life is good. In your elementary school class, teachers are like, here,
take some chocolate, you know, and you eat a bunch
of sugar and you get kind of sick to the stomach,
but you're like, that was awesome. And then family ups
and moves to England. Doesn't happen very often. It's probably

(18:09):
only happened to a small handful of people. But you
go from chocolate in the United States to eating buns
with plums and raisins and seeds. I'd be livid, livid.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
I think I'd lose my mind off. All of a sudden,
somebody was like, have you Valentine's Day? Here's some raisins. No,
it's gross, it's gross.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
England has they've gone like they're shooting basically zero from.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
The field and don't even let them get to the line.
And in terms of't even let them get to the line.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Fish and chips, they did.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Well. I have some unfortunate news, okay, unfortunately, and I
do not seem to be able to find any of
the beard Ally sponsorship sponsorship unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, we'll just have to go penniless again. It's not
like we were making any money in the first place.
We have made zero made zero dollars, nice little podcast.
We did this because we love you, zero dollars and
zero cents. In fact, I'm in the hole from paying
our editor to get out some quality tiktoks and put
these things together so that I don't have to do
it because we have tiktoks. Yeah, well on Instagram, like

(19:14):
on Instagram reels and I'm gonna make a TikTok account
for us soon. But yeah, we're we got to kick
it out. Guys, what are we doing from the video
from from the YouTube video podcast that we've done. We
have a few a few reels up to promote. But anyways,
no geart Elli sponsorship.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Will keep name you guys, where's the hype?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
We'll keep thugging it out on our own England again.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Wait, is the last time we checked our email?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Last time we checked it? Dude, No, it's full of spam.
I'm telling you all. It's all that's happened to our
email address is.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Literally Unfortunately I can't sign in anymore. It it kicked,
it kicked me out.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Can you really not sign it?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
And so I have the like account the studio three thirteen,
but it it don't. I don't want to click like
go to the Gmail. It clicked me out and when
I click sign in, the user name and all that

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, all it is. There's a couple of spam such
as that I've deleted. But Lincoln Studio three one three

Speaker 3 (20:17):

at it and cry.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I was about to get that thing. If whether you
love it or you hate it. Let us know if
you think we deserve rousing success and sponsorships. Let us
know if you want one of us to get hit

job too. Yeah, we kind of need that as well.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Search for employment is still taking on Lincoln Studio three
one three at gmail dot com. Now a couple other
Valentine's Day. Honestly, I think we've hit on the Valentine's
church and borderline. I feel that a lot of other
countries they kind of they like to make it more
of a it's more of a tradition in terms of

(21:06):
like dragging it out for more time, and it's more
of like an annual thing, whereas us it's a day.
There is there is one more country I want to
talk about, Germany. I want to take a look at
or no, no, no, no, no, no, we have to okay,
we have to take a look at both of these.
Last year there were a few more. But there's two
more that are really good that I have to go over.
These are I saved the best for last. Germany. You
know what they It's a simple. It's a symbol for

(21:30):
luck as well as lust. And you will never guess
what it is. Yes, uh, I don't know. A spoon,
not a spoon. This is a different article and the
others like under others in Germany, Taiwan, I'm in there. Germany,
their symbol for luck and lust.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Is a pig.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
A pig not what you would think at all. Lovers
in Germany exchange flowers, chocolates and all manner of pig
shaped gifts.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Statues and stuffed toys.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Statues and stuffed toys.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
You guys understand that if we did that here, if
Daniel gave his girlfriend a stuffed pig that like wasn't
like a stuffed animal like qt pig, or I would
be broken up with anymore. I would have to be
trying to find him. Dylan, you would need to take over.
It would be you in this chair at the control board.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
I'd have to find a new guy that just doesn't
care and likes to talk.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
If I if I gave Jenna a stuffed animal pig
or chocolates in the shape.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Get a taxidermy pig for next year.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Honestly, a taxidermy pig. I got to give you that.
I'm memorizing the button layout there, guys.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
We're still working on it.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, we're still working on it. I'm trying to get
a hold of everything.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
But guys, we've been working on it for seventeen episodes.
Colm down pig shaped chocolates.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Interesting. And then you go onto the last country, which
is that this leaves you a lot of opportunities in Taiwan.
Twice a year, Taiwan goes Taiwan twy twice. Tai Wan
twice a year, Taiwan goes crazy for flowers. On February fourteenth,
and then again on July seventh, men give elaborate bouquets
to their loved ones, with the color and number of

(23:13):
flowers representing an important message. The most important the bouquet
of one hundred eight roses, which means will you marry me? Now,
that's cool, that is kind of cool having a symbol
for the number of roses this many means will you
marry me?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Which I wonder where that comes from.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I know we will well after what we can research
out here, let me let me, let me bring it
right now. Where does the one hundred eight rose bouque
tridition come from? The meaning of roses? It just I
can't find anything that like says where it came from.
All I can find is that one hundred eight means

(23:54):
will you marry me? But then you got here. Let's see.
One rose means love at first, two means mutual love
and affection. Three roses means I love you. Let's see,
twenty four means I'm thinking of you. Twenty four seven,
I'd give you fifty roses, Dylan, you know why, why

(24:14):
is that dying? Because I have unconditional love for you.
Fifty roses represent unconditional love, marking a grand and heartfelt
declaration of devotion. And then you can get nine hundred
and ninety nine roses for the ultimate romantic statement. Nine
hundred ninety nine roses. If you are Walt Disney or
some other relatively rich figure, not Walt Disney. When I

(24:34):
thought rich person, the first person I thought of was
Walt Disney. If you're Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates or whoever,
then you get nine hundred ninety nine roses for your
significant other.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
But that one hundred and eight rose mark, that's a lot.
That's a lot of roses.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Like think of one hundred and eight will you marry me?
One hundred and eleven means.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Love forever, means love forever.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Eleven eleven roses in Chinese culture is dedicated. It is
meant for dedicated love.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
So do you think you would you if you're saying,
I like, say you want to propose? And then what
did you say? One eleven was like love forever, love forever?
Say you want to you know, promote both of these
messages in a bok? Do you give a one hundred
and eight rose bouquet to say will you marry me?

(25:23):
And then afterwards, if hopefully you get the yes, then
do you get a different bouquet of one hundred eleven roses?
Or do you add three roses?

Speaker 4 (25:33):
I think that's two separate bouquets. That's two separate bouquets then,
because I think it's too separates. I felt bad for
these for the people, for the men in Japan wore
to buy a three times more expensive gift. Do you
know how expensive roses are on Valentine's Day? Cost of roses.
Let's go cost of roses I saw per dozen per

(25:57):
by stick because I saw some article where roses by state.
Let's see, let's go down to here. Okay, cost of
a dozen roses in each state. Okay, Hawaii, everything's more
expensive and is always more expensive. One hundred and forty
three dollars.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
That's for a dozen.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
That's twelve bucks per rod. That's twelve bucks a rose
in Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay. And then let's go down Iowa ninety eight dollars
and ninety eight cents. Kansas you're out one hundred dollars.
Even South Carolina you're out one hundred and one sixty five.
Ohio also one hundred one sixty five. Let's find it.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Nebraska.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Minnesota sas ninety six dollars and sixty six cents.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
For a dozen roses.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
For a dozen roses, ninety six dollars.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
That's the average price. Dude. You can go up to
High V right now and get them for like twenty five.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's That's what I'm saying. Like this has gotta be.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
I wonder, you know, I wonder if part of it
is like a dozen of like the like not necessarily
like completely opened super big and beautiful roses. I wonder
if they're all like I wonder if that's what they're
thinking of, because like right now I'm thinking of like
you could go get a dozen like white roses for
probably thirty bucks from like literally any High Story or

(27:08):
Trader Joe's or like a target Target. Maybe I'm not
even super saving, like Walmart probably got him too, yeah
right now, probably they probably got him just laying around,
probably right when you walk in the store.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I would assume definitely for all the ultimate per credit.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
The other the other day, I stopped it on on Friday,
I stopped at Casey's to fill up my truck, of course,
and I went inside, got myself a little road soda,
and they had like individual roses. An individual rose was
like ten bucks. But like that's also like it's also
just twenties. Yeah, yeah, right right, but think about ninety

(27:42):
seventy though, ninety six sixty six in Minnesota, eighty six
sixty six here Nebraska.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
So you think, just don't believe.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
You could You could fill up your tank and then
probably double your expenditures at cases with a purchase of roses,
because I'm sure your guy's tank was about what ninety
dollars to fill up in that truck.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
It's like seventy yeah, seven, it's like seventy it's up there,
it's up it's up there.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
It's not it's not like eighty six sixty six. So
think that's why we normally go to Costco.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
We love Costco. But think about all those roses, one
hundred and eight roses in a bouquet kes that's like
think of think of how much it costs to have
a wedding. And okay, let's go. Now, I know this
is very jank mass.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Guys, we we This was meant to be like ten
minutes max.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
But I'm I'm I'm getting.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
We now are like what twenty five minutes in.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I'm yeah, I'm getting, but I'm getting more. Investor we're in.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
I so invested you wouldn't believe it.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
So a dozen roses, we're gonna go Minnesota because you know, no,
we're going Kansas just because it's one hundred dollars even
so even so easy math, So one hundred bucks for
a dozen and then one hundred eight roses. That's nine dozen,
So nine hundred dollars on roses.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
And then you have to buy one hundred and eleven.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
Right to show unconditional loss, to show your inditional love
natural so that yeah, you're at you're at two grand
basically after taxes.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
For for a couple, for a couple of.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Boke roses, just to just to demonstrate your love for
your significant other.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
That is outrageous. Christ you know what, you know what
Taiwan needs. They need like a cheeky little message for
like you buy If you're a guy and you're say
your say your girl hasn't been treating you, well, say
she's been going out and sneaking off with other people.
You think she's not being faithful.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Then you you get like, like I would do something
like imagine you're in that situation.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I get you buy her one hundred and.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
Seven one hundred seven. That's exactly what I was. I'm
so glad we're on the same way. Yeah you get
psych Yeah you got oh my, oh my gosh, thee
hundred eight roses all you want to be mine?

Speaker 2 (29:46):
You better get to count. And I think I got
it right, but I want you to double check.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
I think I did.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
And then you think undred one hundred, three hundred, one
one hundred and five, one hundred six one hundred seven,
you give you the last.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Throw, beautiful. There needs to be some system.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Like that that would be actually hilarious.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
There needs to be something just spend all that money
just to spite your partner. How funny is that?

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, just as a casual grand to tell.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Your patrol the ultimate troll. Like, I love it.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
I love If that's the actual play or not, I would,
I would.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
I respect it though, I love it a lot. But
that's a little bit about Valentine's Day. We spent. We
spent a fair amount of time going over Valentine's Day.
Our Valentine's Days are traditions and others traditions. I learned
a lot, Dylan, this is this is very informative, But
we got a few other I want to bring. I
want to get the sports sports sports thing done pretty quickly,
because Dylan, I I have not been.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Paying sports have not been the movie recently.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
No, I now that NFL season ends, and like college
football isn't happening, I just get kind of bored. Lincoln
Stars are coming up, but we'll talk about them in
a second because we'll touch on a few other things.
Super Bowl fifty nine was boring. The Eagles destroyed and
the Chiefs. Yes, part of me almost wanted the Chiefs
to win just to see people, No, just to see

(31:06):
people get better. I know that's sacrilege. But I really
don't like Philly either. I know because when Minnesota went
to Philly in twenty eighteen for the NFC Championship Game,
Eagles fans, as they often are, we're just total dicks
to Vikings fans are throwing things at them, even like
parents with like little kids. They were just ruthless and

(31:27):
just horrible. So I'm not a Philly guy either. But
I'm happy for Sakuon my former favorite player on the Lions,
Darius Big play Sleigh. Wow, he puts some big plays
up there. He got it done. So Eagles trounced the Chiefs.
Game was boring but fun to watch the Chiefs get beat.
Commercials were I but we got a Husker basketball. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
I just didn't watch any of it.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
We were coming back from Minnesota the Super Bowl lacrosse weekend,
so I didn't watch any of the game.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Right, no one was watching, and you didn't miss much.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
It was I didn't miss much.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Good halftime you can catch it, but you can catch
that on you.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I saw clips. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
So you got your fill of Kendrick yeah and Sisa.
But Husker basketball pretty mid so far, well okay, what
not mid?

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Not mid? The games have been good.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
We we our overall record is seventeen and nine, seventeen
and nine, so that's a good record. But we've just
had some bad losses.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, we just have some losses that we can't have
or like we get blown out by a couple of teams.
We're losing a lot of close games. It's like we
go in with the lead at a into like the
two minutes or three minutes under four TV timeout and
then it just seems to like crumble away from us
and we can't make the save. See as we're recording this,
Nebraska just pulled the twenty point comeback against Northwestern win,

(32:48):
which is why this is important.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Was that away or at home?

Speaker 4 (32:51):
Was away? We're at Northwestern, okay, and so you know
everybody was like, let's go.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
That was insane and then the final score.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Sixty eight sixty four, So like absolute w for the boys.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Need that.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
But then we need a couple more wins. We need
to win against Michigan for sure. Yeah, I mean right now,
I think we're like ninth or eighth in the Big
Ten standing two, three, four, five, six, seven or eighth
or eight seventeen eight ahead of US seventeen to nine
overall record. Were just so we're gon we're going to
the tournament either way, but like obviously getting a little

(33:28):
bit of a like trying to get up maybe a
bye or maybe an easier early game definitely needed.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
We need to start picking up someone's Northwestern is one
of the worst, probably just about the worst team in
Big Ten basketball. So you know, a win is a win,
I'm not discounting it, but when you have to win
is a win, when you have to pull a miracle
like that.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
So like we need to pull off a win against Michigan, Michigan,
Ohio State, Ohio State, the Ohio State, the Ohio State,
thet and.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Minnesota. Those are those are the ones that we need.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
The Minnesota gol and golf see because we're on.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
The road right now.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
The boys travel to Penn State after this, sure that's
where they'll head too, and then they come back home
in their home for U two games Michigan Monday night
and then a Saturday game, which I actually really looking
forward to. It's the day before my birthday. Hopefully Minnesota
at Nebraska. We need we need of those three the Michigan,

(34:25):
Ohio State, and Minnesota. We need at least two. I
mean all three would be great, but we need at
least two. Yeah, we need ideally the two home games
we need to pick up and then hopefully we can
take Ohio State and that would be cool.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
And Penn State on the road. They're one of the
worst teams in the Big Ten. I think they are
the very worst.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Are they last on that Hopefully you can snag a
w there. So then I was coming to Nebraska and
they want that smoke.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I was a team that's they don't like you haven't
ear least that's that's.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
A crazy March ninth. That is an insane How does
say so day morning game? On an eleven thirty AM
Sunday morning game.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
I don't know what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Well, it's it's tragic, you know. It's it's another year
where you see Nebraska losing some close games in a
sport that's dominated by teams like Auburn and Alabama. But
it's basketball. This time. You thought I was like, it
sounds like football, but it's it's really just the unfortunate
common traditions of Nebraska close games just struggling.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Have you seen the clip? This makes me laugh each
time I think about it. Somebody was talking about how
like SEC is now running, the is running basketball or whatever.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
It's kind of disturbing someone Someone makes.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
A clip, but they in the clip go but honestly,
they're not even that good. The SEC as a whole
is eighty three and eighty three in conference play.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Do you get why that's how wrong?

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Because because you have to be eighty.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Three and eighty three if it's conference play, if it's
conference play, it has to be.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Evenly split or eighty three and eighty three conference plays.
They're not even that good.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Some dude like sendate like I don't know if you've
seen it. Like some coaches fall to what I like
to call small media, which is people just throwing shit
out there on Twitter. Jicks just put it completely like
it's like stuff that's like true, yes, meaningless stats, and
so coaches then see that stat and it's like kind

(36:24):
of like one of those things where they like see
it and they're like, oh, secs eighty three and eighty
three in play, So like we're obviously like, it's a
competitive league here, and then somebody goes, yeah, no, no shit, Sherlock.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
If you're playing conference.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Play, half of you have to win and half of
you have to lose.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
What a concept? What a concept?

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Guy?

Speaker 2 (36:45):
You got to read the fine print. It's very important, don't.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
He didn't, obviously, and he said it in a like
in a postgame interview, he brought that stat up, all
eighty three and eighty three.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
How can you bring how can you like this is
a was it a head coach for a basket?

Speaker 3 (36:59):
It was a head one of the basketball teams?

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Eighty three to eighty three? How can you be a
head coach and bring up that kind of stat? You
gotta you gotta read the fine print, do your own research.
This podcast is not intended to be any sort of
betting advice or any sort of legitimate sports commentary. We
really don't know what we're talking I have no idea
what I'm talking about, but we're we're doing what we can,
but we're we're not beating anyone. We're we're I have

(37:22):
no idea what I'm talking about. Nebraska nebrasketball is looking
up looking okay, there's you know pretty averaging conference play.
Overall record is fine. Hopefully we can kick it up
a notch as we get into the final stretch of
the season. But Team USA US say you say Four
Nations Hockey.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Were Four Nations Hockey is making is just terrorizing right now.
I've I've felt a resurgence in my American pride watching
Team USA beat the crap out of Canada, and I
believe it was.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Finland they played. I think they played Finland. The Four
Nations Hockey tournament happening right now. It's basically an NHL
All Star team playing for Team as pretty much. And
it's also feeding Finland, Sweden.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
USA, Canada, Caitland, Sweden. Yeah, so it's a it's a
pretty good list of teams.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Right now. USA is dominating.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
USA is two and zero.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
We're guaranteed point, We're guaranteed to play in the CHIP
on February twentieth, just against I don't know, I think
it'll probably.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Right now right now, Canada's right behind us.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Well, so all of them are tied, right Canada has
a regular win and a regular loss. Finland has one
win and regular or excuse me, what the heck?

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Excuse me?

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Canada and Nebraska or USA has almost said Nebraska like
we're gonna The USA has two wins, regular wins. Canada
has a regular win, a regular loss, and an overtime win.
So does Finland regular loss, overtime win. So we will
be playing one of those two teams. Okay, to get

(38:58):
like the overtime loss, you get two points. So although
actually hiaas Sweden has taken both of those teams to
overtime and just has lost both of them, and I
love it.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
You get a point for that. So but guess what.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
USA stood on business? Absolutely right at the face, dropping gloves,
setting the tone, letting them, letting those poutine eaters know
what's good, letting the.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Poutine eaters know that we mean business.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
The United States is guaranteed a spot in the final game,
which will be February twentieth eight.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
No one can catch up to us at the Goden
in Boston. No, we're guaranteed a spot in the chip
no matter what happens. Right now, it's just Canada and
Finland playing. So the winner of that, I believe, will
decide who makes it to the final. I would love
to see a little USA.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Drop Canada back in. Yeah, let us double up.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
On rematch, we beat Finland six to one with a
four goal third period, and we beat Canada with a
bunch of I believe there were a lot of fights
in both I thought, I think it was Canada. I
think it was the Canada game where I aw that
three guys for Team USA immediately just shred the Mits
and went after the other guys. You love to see.
That's American pride at its finest. USA probably gonna win

(40:09):
the whole thing, I would hope, and your Lincoln Stars
on the other side of the hockey spectrum.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Where hockey is born and raised in Nebraska, in.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Lincoln, Nebraska, of all places. And now we do have
the best team in the league right now. We're leading
in alls and we were previously on a twelve game
win streak until last night when we got beat by
the Sioux Falls Stampede at the Denny Sandford Premier Center.
Our big win streak ended on the road. Twelve game
win streak is the longest win streaking franchise history since

(40:38):
the two thousand and two to two thousand.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
And three season, where they won sixteen games in a
row sixteenth straight, so twelve straight.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
It was abound to happen at some time. Unfortunately, hockey
by nature is just one of those games, especially where
it's difficult to put wins together back to back each
and every night, because I feel that sometimes sometimes the
puck just doesn't want to go in the net. Puck luck.
I think to say that hockey is all luck, It's
certainly not. But I've always felt that puck luck can.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Just get it. Sometimes sometimes tenders.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
And players are just getting in the way and it
just doesn't want to work. But Lincoln Stars still on
top of the West. I think we play three games
this weekend. I think we play we play away at Omaha,
then we play away at Sioux Falls Thursday and Friday.
Those games are respectably and then Saturday night we're at
the ice box again against Omaha, and that's where I'm

(41:29):
gonna do some interviews with the players. So as the
guys are coming off the ice, I'll have a camera
tripod and I'm gonna interview them.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Just ask him, you know, give him the old Ah Sandrick.
You guys are off to a two to one lead.
You know, you guys are holding your own made a
lot of work. Guys are putting pressure on the goalie.
How do you guys maintain that moment going on in
the game, you know, just doing some stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Very excited for that. That's a little bit about sports. Sports. Sports.
Your whole life is sports. That's all. That's all I
have for the other sports that I would not personally
involved in. And in Hinckley, Minnesota, I didn't step in
the ring and put them in the ring. I didn't
step on the ring and throw on the gloves. But boy,
after after ring announcing and commentating some of those fights,

(42:11):
I wanted to step on in there, Dyne, And I
was excited for a fee and you can go duke
it out right now.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
I was excited for a fight night that was supposedly.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Going to be happening here in Lincoln with some of
the fraternities on campus, but that got canceled.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Well that's because it's not necessarily allowed.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Yeah, well, no, it's happened in the past, and this.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
Time it was gonna wasn't wasn't the one that happened
in the past under the table in some frat's basement.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
No, I I don't know, I maybe, but this this
time guys were getting guys were getting sanctioned by US boxing.
This was gonna be a legitimate thing. But I think
I think the error was on like my like, like
the our side, the students side, like fight people were
just dropping out of the fights. No one wanted to
do it. But I got my fix. I went and
commentated and in the ring announcing for some boxing fights

(42:57):
up in Hinckley, the birthplace of boxing. Man, it doesn't
get any better than up there. It was a lot
of fun.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
I did the commentary with Golden Caleb Truax, former International
Boxing Federation Super middleweight Champion of the World, and my dad,
he was there.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
We were both doing the commentary. He did six of
the eight fights and I did the other two ring announcing,
and it was it was a blast, and there was controversy,
Dylan one of the.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Controversy, what's going on over there?

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Well, after the second fight that I did, I got
the decision from the judges and I saw, you know,
I read the scores and I saw one was a draw, okay,
and it's a five round fight and scoring around as
ten to ten. A draw in boxing is very rare,
doesn't happen too often. But I saw a draw on there,

(43:46):
and then I figured Okay, I guess just a ten
ten round happened. One judge gave it to nice Trim
and one judge gave it to Hendrickson. So I go
up there and I read, you know, to try and
build the suspense. I said, Uh, Judge Joe Baggattono, it's
gives the fight forty nine forty six to Hendrickson. Judge
Jimmy gives it forty eight forty seven. Nice drums that. Okay,

(44:10):
we got one for each the final final judge, who's
gonna decide it? And I say, Judge Johnny scored about
forty eight to forty eight. We have a draw booze
from the audience.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
And then I gave the slip of paper back to
someone on the boxing commission and I my dad comes
over to me about five to ten minutes later, and
he goes.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
We got a problem. And my heart sinks. I think
I've made a grave air. I thought that I maybe
you read it wrong. Yeah, I thought I read the
score wrong. And now all the fans like the whole fight,
and I kind of got thrown off because then they
had to bring in the They brought in the winner
to re announce him as the true winner because it

(44:56):
was not a split decision draw. It was a majority decision.
There was one card that was a draw, and I
believe two cards that voted in favor of nice from
so nice from one. But I announced it as a draw,
and that's what it said on the sheet. But my
dad came up to me. He said, we got our problem.
And my heart sinks. I think, well, I messed up.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
It was full ball last in my ring, announcing career
of two fights which had lasted approximately ninety minutes up
to that point.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
It was full wall last. It was a great ride,
but it's over. But it was not my fault, not
his fault, not my fault. It was an accounting error.
As my dad said. He literally got up into the
ring and said, we had an accounting error because the end,
because he was watching the dudes who were adding up
the scores. Yeah, and I didn't even notice it, but
my dad was watching them, and he said they were
struggling because it's kind of a it's kind of a

(45:44):
weird process. They each tally have the scores at him
up and pass them on to another person who double checks.
It's ratchet.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
But what are we saying, say I don't think I've
ever actually watched like the score keeps when it comes
like that sort of stuff, like I love, like I
could not you, Like I mean, like on like clear fights, Yeah,
it's like one of those dealers where it's like you
know who's who's winning because one is obviously getting the
shit kicked out of them more than the other.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Sure, right, But like honestly, like watching.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
Like the MMA fights and UFC stuff like that, like
I have no idea what's going on, right, I'm watching
them fight, and I'm always.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
Like, uh, yeah, go on, one of you was winning for.

Speaker 4 (46:22):
Sure, Like it's like pretty obviously you look at around
and you go, all right, you won that round. You
won that round, right, Well, like when they're like, all right,
I scored this one ten to seven, and the next
round it's like, well I scored this one eight nine,
and it's.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Like what is that?

Speaker 4 (46:39):
How they do it in MMA, it's the same idea,
same idea because usually in boxing it's it's a ten
to nine or a ten nine round, Like usually the
winner gets winner gets ten points, and say you win
the round and there's no knockdowns.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
You win ten to nine. Usually if you knock the
other guy down, then it's a ten eight round for you,
And if you knock him down twice, it's a ten
to seven round. That's deal. But that's usually how it
works in boxing, and a lot of the fights this
weekend it was. It was tough to score, so the judges.
Some of the judges decisions were very controversial. There was
a lot of controversy I Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota

(47:12):
at Friday night fights. But we made it out.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Light work.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Fight fights happened. That's just how the fight game goes. Sometimes.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Daniel keeps his boxing announcing and commentating.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
I have my gig for now. Hopefully we keep it
going forward, but for now we got it. It was
a lovely weekend up in Hinckley, Minnesota. Took took a
flight up there, took a couple of fights each way.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
They pay for it.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
I did do a layover. Nah, soon enough, soon enough,
I'll be big time.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
They take a layover to Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Well, because I had to do it at a weird
time to not hear with my classes.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
That's fairy's fair. But they I was like, there's no
direct flight to Minneapolis.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
There is. I just couldn't take it. But soon enough.
I mean they fly out Jimmy Lennon Junior, they fly
out Michael and Bruce Buffer. So why wouldn't they be
flying me out?

Speaker 3 (47:54):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Like, soon enough, I give my boy on the plane,
I'll get to that level of clout enough. And I
had plans to do some fast food rankings, but boy,
we're almost at We're approaching.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
We're fastly approaching an hour we're gonna spend.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
We spent so much time talking about Valentine's Day, but
I just found it fast in the heat of the moment.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
I mean, that's where we were at.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Dylan, do you have anything that you want to say
to the people or anything that you want to converse
about before this little episode here.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Kind of on fast food, but like not really. I
went to Wings and Rings.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Wings and Rings, I have I've passed terrible.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
It was I'm never going back. I'm never going back.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Dylan is not a Wings and Rings guy. Just the
food was okay.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
So, like, first off, my wings were like disgusting.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
They not disgusting, but like they were super dry. I
did not like my Like the breading wasn't like a
super thick breading.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
Sure, it's very.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
Thin, like it's very not like a fried like a
like a fried ring or chicken. Uh, I will say this,
I will classify this. It was like eleven o'clock at
night and they were boneless. Oh well, but like the
boneless ones, like I just I don't have a feeling
that like whether or not I got there's nothing wrong

(49:14):
with like the service or anything. They weren't heavily sauced.
They felt super dry and like my wings or saucy
nugs if you will, like massive but not good.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Like it just wasn't good.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
I like the sauce. I like classifying them as saucy nugs.
It's more fun to say, but they need to be
adequately sauce. There's nothing worse than a dry wing.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
It was, and so then like I'm like like cutting
up my wing, but like because I'm cutting it up,
I'm then like like trying to like dig in like
the extra sauce that I can find it like the
bottom of Like first off, they also served it to
me in a really weird way.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
They had like a semi dish.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Bowl thing that was like maybe maybe like it just
basically had it was a plate with like.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
A little bit steeper curved edges.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I was like, what is this bizarre plate in exactly
just weird choices of those ring.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
I was like, I didn't want to go to B
Dubs after our game over the weekend. So I didn't
want to go to be Dubs because it was downtown, right,
And I was like, I just want to get closer
to the house. So I drove out wings and rings,
me and the fellas we get there. I ordered my
boneless wings because I didn't really want to get my
hands messy. Sure, I wanted something easy and simple, and
what you got was dry and disgusting, dry and disgusting.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
I regretted my decision. I paid, and I left.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
And I was like, never again. It's like, I'm not
going back here, never again. There's nothing worse. I will
never go back to this place, nothing worse than a
dry wing and the bread and I agree, it needs
to be very thick and crispy, even if it's not
like that perfect crisp. I at least need to feel
like I'm biting into something.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
Exactly and like it felt more like it was like
a like like I got like a grilled chicken breast
and how like a little coating of a breading on it,
but like noting Crozy, it just wasn't.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Worth it, that, ain't it? Maybe maybe if you go
back out of six o'clock at night.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
That's I mean, I was saying.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
When they're well, Like my dad has always said, the
best time to order a steak is peak rush, because
you usually get it a little bit less than what
you ordered. Because like if you go and you say
I want it medium rare, you might get that thing medium. Yeah,
But when you're busy you say, hey, I want that
thing medium rare, you very well could go as good enough,

(51:31):
and your medium rare becomes rare. But then as it
sits on the plate before it gets brought out to you,
you know, it firms up to a medium rare.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Oh beautiful.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
I'd go I'd go peak rush and get like a
probably order a medium because I like mine a little
like medium rare is that's typically you know what you know,
if you get that, you have like good Fellows own Aristocrat,
that's typically like the standard, like the gold standard.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
That's I'm a big I'm a big medium.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
You're a medium rare guy, and I'm what I like,
I like a little more cook on it like a medium,
but it needs pink. It needs something you can't be
going in there, like medium well or well done.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
That's just I will never well. Okay, well done is
criminals well. Medium well is questionable. Medium is like medium
and medium rare is typically what you get. I would
like medium and then you know, hopefully they go a
little under that way. If it gets down to medium rare,
it's like, okay, I can still do a medium rare.
Rare freaks me out. I can't.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
I have had a couple rare steaks when I was
learning how.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
To grill originally. Sure I had a couple accidental rares.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Phenomenal, no, terrible, Nah.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
They're just like I would rather rare over like a
well done thought you were true Nebraska, Since you love
rare ground beef, that seems like it's a first off
rare and ground beef, rare steak, rare beef, I would
I would say that like most Nebraskans take it medium rare.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Okay, Okay, I guess.

Speaker 4 (53:03):
I say that thinking about what my friends normally would eat.
But like I just like I think when you get
a little bit older, you get into that like you
want more of the quote unquote juice that you get
with the rare but like me at the same time,
like I'm just I'm not at that point yet.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
I'm not at that point yet.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
Well, we've had a little bit of a conversation here
about we've had wings and we've had some steak talk.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
This is gonna be good for our This is a
good segue. It's gonna be a good segue into our
next episode where we do our fast food.
