When life handed me a ball sack keychain, I did what any self-respecting podcaster would do: shared the hilarious debacle with you, our cherished listeners. That's just a snippet of the whimsical and unexpected joys we're unpacking this week, from the latest castle in my fish tank to the culinary roulette of air frying. If you're ready for a blend of chuckles and candid chit-chat, tighten your apron strings—we're serving up a hearty dose of everyday antics and personal updates, guaranteed to leave you both amused and a tad more enlightened.

Gift-giving can sometimes feel like navigating a minefield of potential faux pas, but not in our circle! Join us as we revel in the delight of the most outlandish presents, including a grilling apron that's sure to raise eyebrows at your next BBQ. We also take a moment to marvel at Amazon's robotic workforce and share a few laughs over our own $10 gift contest—because who doesn't love a good gnome joke? Whether you're here for the lighthearted banter or the offbeat tales of our professional escapades, we're dishing it all up with the warmth and camaraderie you've come to expect.

Navigating the waters of life isn't just about the chuckles; sometimes we need to anchor down and discuss the more pressing issues at hand. This week, we're examining the strategic implications of drone warfare after a tense incident abroad. Yet, fear not—we're quick to resurface with tales of aquatic pets and a dive into the productive side of penny-pinching. And for those who find solace in the solitude of boating, we're sharing tips and tales that'll have your nautical heart yearning for the open waves.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, another thing that's not around anymore Any
bridges fall down this week.

I think we're safe on bridges thus far, for now, just
the one.
All clearances have been made,for the debris, of course, which
has already been happening, butofficially, all the clearances
have been made and they areallowed to start removing the
debris which started long beforethey were allowed to start.
Oh, to remove removing thedebris which started long before
they were allowed to.
But the fed said that was okay,just get your ducks in a row

(03:10):
and we're all we'll be.
We brought jackson holiday up.
Yeah, it hasn't been thatworthwhile we didn't win holiday

He played two games in Boston,two games here against Milwaukee

(03:32):
.
I don't think he has a hit yet.
The game, the fifth game, isjust starting.
I'm not sure if he's in thelineup.
Don't know if you saw.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
No, I haven't seen yet.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
No, but yeah, I got a look from CJ.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
He looked over, he has glasses and I can still see
his look, not one hit yet.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
He's been on base a couple times Through error and
Fielder's choices.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
And.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I think he has like two runs, but no hits yet, so
we're still waiting on that.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
We'll see how that goes.
I mean, I have high hopes.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh, absolutely, gunnar and Adley both started
out slow as well.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, and Gunnar still won the Rookie of the Year
.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, so let's give him a month and see where he is.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I mean he was what?
14 for 42 in the AAA.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, he was crushing it down there.
Yeah, he was crushing it downthere he was uh 33, uh 333 and
yeah that that'll get you intothe major leagues just about
every time nice yeah everythinggo well.
Yesterday you said you're doingsomething with your daughter,
but I don't know what it was.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Um so I thought I was going with my daughter but I
ended up going to my son's trackthing.
That was like from 9 am to alittle after like 3.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Oh, wow, that's a lot of running.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Like he did two events and there was like 10
events total.
He did like the second eventand like the eighth event, so
like he had to be there all day.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
What are his events?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I think two 800 meter events.
I can't speak, but they wererelays.
Okay, the one where you'rehanding the rod off.
Yeah, you got to do two lapsand then hand the rod off, but I
think he went last in eachrelay hey, that means he's the
anchor good stuff he's one ofthe better runners yeah, but you
can't.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
It doesn't help when you have three people in front
of you, or I wouldn't say threepeople, but at least one to two
people in front of you thataren't doing that great right
and it's it's his job to make upfor the the lack of uh running
on the other guys yeah, you know, they're kids, they're yeah,
they're still figuring out howto really take those strides
there was apparently a kid whoran a mile in five minutes and

(05:40):
10 seconds that's nuts.
How, what age?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
uh, this is middle school, middle school.
I don't know whether eighthgrade or what, but you know
right, that's that's a minuteand 12 seconds average the.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
The fastest mile, I remember was somebody in high
school and that was a littleunder seven, it was like 650 or
something like that.
I did end up going to his uhjackson holidays debut game.
I did get a shirt, a nicemedium-sized shirt, which will
obviously—.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
There were no more larges left.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
It was only mediums and extra larges.
There were no more extra largesleft, so I took the medium.
It'll end up going to somebody.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, I mean.
Or you can hang it up and keepit as a treasure piece.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Cut it out and stitch it onto a larger shirt.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
That works too.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
So CJ just recently received his.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I've Been Tasked With t-shirt that he won, the one
that I won.
That's right Now.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I don't know if CJ is going to give Nick an exam or
quiz today.
They have to be really hard sothat he can't win his t-shirt,
that's fine.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Don't want Nick to win the t-shirt.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
He doesn't want to win Nick's t-shirt All right, is
it Nick's t-shirt?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
It doesn't mean I keep my shirt.
I leave with my shirt on.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
You have to leave your shirt here if you don't win
.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
What's that rap song, Nick, about the women making
the booty clap, Clap, clap, clap?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
clap, clap your hands , clap your ass.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I say clap your hands .
I thought weed was supposed tohelp with your headaches.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
You know it does help , but it doesn't get rid of them
.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Just kind of tempers it a bit.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, kind of like a wet paper towel.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
You need to step it up.
Does the profan or tylenol work?
Either one?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
no, neither one no, because like it could last
anywhere from like 15 minutes tolike an hour, so like if I were
to take it every time I get aheadache.
If I were to, you know, take itevery time I get a headache,
it's how much ibuprofen ortylenol will I be taking,
because sometimes I can get themtwo to three times a day?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Right and nobody wants to take that much shit Nah
.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I take ibuprofen a few times a day.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
I don't really like taking medicine For those knees
of yours.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
I take ibuprofen for my ankle.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Ankle Okay.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
I had a motorcycle accident a very, very bad in
like 2005, 2007, and it was bad,it was a lot.
It was, uh, my left ankle wascrushed into pieces.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
It sounds awful yeah, well, was it your fault?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
no, I mean it was my fault for having a motorcycle,
yeah, but get out of here withthat bullshit oh come on I had a
motorcycle, somebody hit me andI'd get another one I wasanted.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Mine wasn't as bad of an accident, but it's still an
accident on a motorcyclenonetheless.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
So I was leaving.
It was in Aberdeen and I wasleaving a work meeting on my
motorcycle.
My boss said yeah, you canbring the reports to me.
I was like I'm on a motorcycle,I'm not going to bring the work
truck.
I worked like 12 hours that day.
Why don't you come get themfrom my house?

(08:50):
He's like no, why don't youjust come meet me?
We'll have dinner.
I said I'm going on mymotorcycle, I'm done with this
job right now.
We're done, my job is done.
I don't care that you didn'tpick up your reports during the
day, not my problem.
So I went up there on mymotorcycle had nice dinner.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I gave him some reports on my way home, so you
still did it anyway, is what I'mhearing.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, no, he said it was okay on the motorcycle, but
yes, of course, because I'm agood worker.
And he said, no, I really needthese reports.
And he is asian.
I'm like holding back to do it,doing my impression of him
let's say, what does him asianhave to do with now?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
because, like the whole time I was talking, that
just came out of fucking leftfield.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, I know, but the way that he talked was very it
was awesome and the stories inmy brains are all they're
animated within hearing thepeople actually saying the words
.
That's how it's stored in myhead.
So anyway, he says it's okay,go ahead, come with a motorcycle
.
So I leave and I'm goingthrough an intersection and this

(09:47):
woman was coming towards me ina left or her she was going
towards me with a left turn.
You know, her left turn signalwas on and it's kind of like
night, like dusk or whatever,and I saw her.
So I started slowing down but Ihad a green light to go through
the intersection.
She didn't have a down but Ihad a green light to go through
at the intersection.
She didn't have a green light.
She had a green light to gostraight and a yield to go left.

(10:08):
As I approached theintersection she just went and
just turned left and right infront of me and right in the
middle of an intersection.
I had to drop my bike downbecause I would have hit her
head on, hit the side of her car.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
So you kind of slid under the car, I slid under the
car.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
I personally went to the left and my motorcycle went
under her car.
And this is what I mean bypeople driving not all the same.
I feel like everybody should besynchronized driving.
When the light turns, you hitthe gas, you go, you're out of
the intersection.
You don't dilly-dally in theintersection enough that
somebody can see you enough toslow down, drop their motorcycle

(10:47):
on the side and slide all theway underneath.
She should have been throughthe intersection for one.
Number two, I was slowing downenough that if she was going to
go through the intersection, Ihad some reaction time.
You don't want to just powerthrough an intersection.
So whatever, she went too slow.
She shouldn't have gone,because you know it's.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
it's crazy really she shouldn't have taken the turn,
she shouldn't know.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
I'm gonna say I'm kind of having a little trouble
because you're saying like shehad time to pull over, like to
pull out she had enough timedown but she did dilly dally.
But you're saying she shouldn'thave gone in the first time, in
the first.
She shouldn't have gone in thefirst place.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
She shouldn't have gone in the first place, but if
she did go she could have donethe vroom through and it would
have been easy.
That makes more sense the wayyou're explaining it, kind of
more like it's like she was onthe phone and she's sitting
there staring at the phone goingI'm turning, I'm turning.
The way it played out in myhead was the Austin Powers.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
No, that's how it was playing in my head when you
described it to me.
You're the guy standing there.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I appreciate your take on my story, but generally,
I just needed context, yeah.
No, it was most people.
Like you know, when the lightturns green, if we all hit the
gas at the same time, we'd allget through the intersections
perfectly.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
But we're not ants, I get that, or robots when the
robots are driving.
That's how it'll go.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, I can't wait for the robots to drive.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Really, you'll be out of a gig, won't you no?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
No truck drivers.
You still need someone to loadthis stuff Right and strap this
stuff down.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
You got it.
That's what electric palletjacks are for buddy.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
You see what Amazon's doing.
No, tell me.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
No, I mean like he asked the question.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
No, I don't know what they're doing.
Tell me.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
So the way Amazon moves product around is they
have these big.
I don't even.
They're like the size of anottoman, like, not like the same
.
They're not more of a rectanglebut they're more of a square.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
I'd say they're probably about the size of a
pallet, like 5x5?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Something like that, 6x6, something like that 5x5,
6x6, something like that, andthen they lift these big towers.
I would say they're about, Idon't know, maybe 10, 12 feet
tall, full of product.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
And they just shift them around the warehouse, like
the Connex boxes.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
No, like the Connex boxes no, not that big.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean, but how they move them.
They grab from the sides.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
No, they go underneath and lift up.
It's a robot.
Like I said, it's about thesize of an ottoman, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
And it's kind of like one of those genies.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, that lifts.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, okay, so all those little orange guys are the
robots.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh, those are cool.
I haven guys are the robots.
Oh, those are cool.
I haven't seen what.
I have not seen what amazon'sdoing.
Oh, that is really cool.
That's a lot of them, that'slike 200 of them.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, so they go underneath 200 people they don't
have to hire, nobody wants towork there.
Anyway, come on and they pickthem up and move them around
nick's called him scamazon.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, nobody wants to do that today on this podcast.
What are we going to hear?

Speaker 3 (13:44):
we're going to hear our it's a blue one under this
one, not an orange blue one.
You see it just lifts up thatwhole shelving unit that's
incredible, oh that's wild.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Somebody still has to pack that shelving unit I mean,
do they?

Speaker 3 (13:58):
though it looks like there's a robot right there with
the blue shelving putting it Imean, this stuff has to get
sorted, it's not humaneverything has a qr code or a
barcode there, you're not givingthese robots enough I guess not
.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
What are we going to hear on this podcast today?

And so CJ comes over, givesBuddy a stuffed squirrel.
That is in reference to Buddy'ssquirrel video on YouTube.

Let's see what we got.
I did look at this one alreadybecause it was sent to me.

I did the task.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I sent everything to my house.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Looks like CJ.
You look sexy.
Now, there we go.
He's got a six pack.
He's got a bulge in his bottom.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
There the bulge is a little weak compared to mine it
is.
I thought I was going to makeit look like I'm going to draw a
bigger bulge on it.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
So that's because CJ likes to grill outside.
I also got CJ Michelle, becauseshe's been a big supporter of
this podcast.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Not on air.
She doesn't want to be part ofthat.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
We got people behind the scenes helping out.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
All right, are these the same thing?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
No, they are not One's for you, one's for
Michelle.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Okay but they are not the same, okay.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
They're not the same.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
This is the funniest thing I could find for CJ on
Amazon for $10 or less so itsounds like you spent too much
money because I have this giftthat I'm wearing, plus these
additional gifts.
Well, it was three weeks oh wow, it's been three weeks.
It's a sexy little gnome, agarden gnome.
He's fully nude.
Yes, he is.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
He's got a little dingler I would move that from a
buddy.
You don't want her to end uplike a squirrel.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
You want the dinger and let's see.
I'm hoping there's a nice setof boobs on this next.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's another dinger.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's not a reflection .

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Nice set of boobs.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's not a reflection Michelle's way hotter than that
she is, she's way hotter thanthat, and hers has pants on.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Oh, panties, kind of like a bikini bottom, but the
boobs are hanging out.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Cj asked is it sexually appropriate?
I said, of course it is.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
All right this looks like party time.
I don't think they're going inthe garden, though.
These are indoor gnomes.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
What those are?
Kitchen gnomes.
These are indoor gnomes.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
It would be even better if they were salt and
pepper shakers.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Oh, we can hollow them out, that's possible.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well, thank you.
Thank you, Dan, muchappreciated for all of my
nudity-centered gifts.

I love it very nice.
I have a gift for nick.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Oh, this is great.
Unfortunately, this this giftactually requires more money to
be spent, which I will dobecause I thought it came with a
pillow.
It is a pillow case, is?

Speaker 3 (18:56):

It is the nick cage.
You know, I thought aboutgetting that for you.
I really thought about gettingit for you it's his face.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Funny enough, I thought about getting this apron
for dan so this is all comingfull circle.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Great minds think alike.
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
He's got a mouth and nose, and I do owe you a pillow
to put in this no, no problem, Ican get something from
likeGoods or something like that.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
I feel gross for CJ's gift for an app now.

That's what I was laughing about last week.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'll give you a trade .

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I didn't tell Nick about this.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
He would not tell me what it was.
I would not tell CJ about this.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I lost your phone.
Tip.
Yeah, bend off your breathing.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Dan was talking to me .
He was like, oh yeah, it'sgoing to be like equal, it's

Speaker 2 (20:05):
It is rubbery and pliable.
Doesn't feel exactly like realballs.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
You gotta pull it out of the case for it to be
official and you gotta get thecrackling out of them.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I feel like I fucked up now oh my god, that's gross.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
That is so unsexual.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Oh, the hair is oh man, really it's real feeling
and it sheds a touch, taste ittaste it?
No, I will not taste it.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
We were joking about using epoxy resin and putting
our own hair like they didn'tknow dan was joking about doing
it dan said he was talking aboutdoing, I wanted no part we were
going to use nick's, nick'schin hair, his, his, his facial
hair.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's what you're going to tell me.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
You're going to oh my god, like what was that jackass
they did that oh yeah, they hadhim.

all of their pubic hair.
Yeah, and like two of thepeople had crabs.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Oh, that's gross.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And they put it on the guy's face because he was
going to pretend like he wasAlar Akbar and, like you know,
do a bit about something likethat having a big beard and
being like blah, blah, blah,blah, blah but they pasted all
of this pubic hair on the guy'sface and then he had to go and
do the skit and it's all gettingin his mouth and stuff.
And yeah, at the end they toldhim it was all.

(21:27):
They showed him the videos ofthem shooting.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, I think it's the third jackass.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Oh, it's horrifying.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
The Scott Tenorman episode of South Park as well
had a lot of pube related.
Yeah, humor yeah uh, then, thenI have a gift for dan.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Oh, this is great as well.
Very nice finger puppet he'sgot a finger puppet that's.
It's not gonna be good.
It has a picture of a redheadoh, she's pretty cute a redhead
with a thing on the front with a.
What do you call that?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
A hat.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
A wizard.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's like a witch or wizard.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Oh these are cool.
They're little finger thingies.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, you can make a squirrel to mess with your dog,
with.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Oh my God, buddy, he's going to freak out.
Oh, I've seen that you put thehead on the middle finger and
like oh, it's a little squirrel,oh, this is great no, you put
the head on the middle fingermiddle finger gets that, gets a
squirrel head and then this isgreat.
Look at this thing, theirlittle five finger like, uh,

(22:33):
like a squirrel would have.
Each finger has four, five asfive one, two, three, four, five
and the ball I got to switch.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
There you go.
You got it hooked up right now.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, we're going to have some fun with this Buddy up
here.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's mine, he already ate it.
No, she ate it.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Buddy's a good dog.
She loves everybody andeverything.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
She's very nice, Sometimes a little too nice when
she does the jump move.
Sometimes that paw goesdirectly for the ball.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
There may be a fatter finger for the thumb.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I don't know, Maybe I need to stretch her mouth.
But yeah, it's very nice CJ.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
That's a pretty good one.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Very good I don't know who wins.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
I did get the most nudity-centric gifts yeah, you
got very sexualized gifts.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I feel like I got balls, two uh nude gnomes and
this sweet apron that has a setthat has a six pack on it.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
I have more of a keg the nick cage, that I really
thought about it.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I was was like I want to do it, but I don't know why
you can move the sequins on theNicholas Cage pillow.
So it's all.
What is it All blue or allpurple?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
I think it's red.
Yeah, I think it's red.
I just wanted to give him anosebleed.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's so gaudy, all right.
Well, thank you all very muchfor the gifts.
Yeah, thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
I think the ball sack wins.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
That would be a Nick win then, right I?

Speaker 3 (24:00):
feel like that's just more humor-related win.
I feel like the best gift.
I do like the Nick Cage pillow.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
The Nick Cage pillow.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I think the Nick Cage is the classiest of gifts.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
The fact that you can make him turn into a zombie.
Oh, yeah, make his eyes bleedand his nose bleed.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
You could take a tooth out if you wanted to.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I bet you it works better when there's a pillow
inside of it.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, the pressure against the back helps the
sequins turn.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Oh, your cats are going to just go nuts with that.
So on the podcast, today I'mgoing to introduce our new
podcast table.
I spent over 12 hours yesterday.
It does look very nice On mylast day of.
Covid and yeah, I did a bevelededge using a router.
I took an old dining room tableand that's what this is made
out of.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
I was wondering if you turned those legs yourself.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
No, I did not do it.
I was like that's good work.
Now the table that was here theone we had previously was
turned by my woodturner.
His name's John.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Where is my umbrella?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
hat.
Oh, I got a lot of gifts Ididn't want to.
They're right above cj.
I got both of them yes, I got.
Oh, that's that's the one I gotfor nick.
It was nothing sexuallyexplicit, it's just umbrella
hats.
Uh, because the week of that wewere going to do all this we
had a few problems getting thepodcasts together.
Kofi got in the way on on thelast podcast that we just tried

(25:18):
and, and then before that therewere some issues where CJ had
some stuff to do and we didn'twant to do it without CJ because
CJ is now our co-host.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
But you did a good.
The Shark app was pretty goodstuff.
Yeah, I liked hearing aboutthat.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Shark was good, it was just quick.
A filler, just a nice hat, nick.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
I can't wait for it to rain now.
Yeah, filler, just uh, nice hatnick.
Yeah, I can't wait for it torain now.
Yeah, it was raining that weekreally, really hard, and him and
I both work outside the firstfour days of april.
You know they say april showersbring may flowers yeah, they
also bring a really, really badcold on onto people like uh,
like me.
It knocked my immune systemdown.
I worked out in the rain for agood six to seven hours straight

(26:00):
.
I mean not, I was in and out ofthe vehicle, which is almost
worse, so I'm loading equipment.
It felt like someone wasspraying me with a fire hose uh,
it does sound awful it was.
it was really bad and I I keptchanging my clothes and it just
all day, but the machines had tobe moved, that we had indoor
jobs that were going on, sowhether it was raining or not,

(26:22):
the job's still got to go.
And I got to pick up the whatwere they?
Concrete buckets, concretedumping buggies.
You fill them up with concrete,take them to the site, drop
them.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I haven't driven one of those.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, they're not the easiest.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, you had me drive it at John's.
Yes, yes, it's got the onehandle and you got to like turn
it.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
They're tri-wheels.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
No, it had two tracks on it.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Oh, I got you a track .
I spent extra for our job.
We generally get the ones withwheels, but yeah, they're ones
with tracks, so you can rideoff-road with them.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
They're like tiny tanks.
They hold about five cubicyards or so Five.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
They hold like three quarters of a cubic yard.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I'm thinking more of a larger build, I guess.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, that will be more of a like.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
It was a little bit bigger than a bathtub, I feel
like.
Yeah, okay so about what isthat?
Like 80 gallons?
I know the quantity, like theway you guys use ratios, is
different than gallons versusyards.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
You order a concrete buggy and it holds whatever.
I need 80 gallons of concreteyou go to Home Depot for that,
fill up your trunk or your carjust get the sacks, add water.
I've seen people go to getconcrete and stuff.
They're like, oh, I need 10bags and they'll start putting
them in their car.
And you're watching them atHome Depot.
Oh my, their cars are justalmost on the ground and
dragging and you're like youknow, there's speed bumps coming

(27:45):
up right.
They're going to wreck yourshit.
It's cheaper to hire.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Suspension is fucked.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's cheaper to get a concrete truck to deliver the
concrete than to fix your carafter this Way cheaper.
And also Home Depot delivery ischeaper than the fine that you
get for having 16-foot 2x4ssticking 10 feet out the back of
your quote-unquote pickup truck.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh no, you just tie a little red ribbon around it,
you're fine right, yeah, fourfeet off, you can only do that
up to four feet.
Okay, once it's at five feet,or 4.1.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, once it's at 4.1, it's an illegal load,
gotcha.
So once it sticks out past yourvehicle more than 6 inches, you
have to put a tag on it 12inches.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
No, it would be 48 inches 2 foot.
You said it's 4 feet.
48 inches is 4 feet.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
No, okay.
So once it's away from yourvehicle six inches, it requires
to have a red flag, the orangeflag.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
I thought you were saying One foot by one foot.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Actually I think it's 14 inches by 14.
Don't quote me on all that, butI do as much as I can to warn
other drivers that I got stuffhanging four feet out of my
truck.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Don't hit this, please.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, even if I have a trailer on um, I don't know if
it counts or not, but with thetrailer on, I still put a flag
behind if I'm hanging off thetruck so safety.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Third, I did see that some legendary sumo wrestler
just died really, yeah, I meanbummer naturally.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Naturally, or was it sumo related?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
it was not similar, io related.
I think he was already retired.
I think he was like a legendaryas in years and years ago was
kicking ass and has just been,you know heart failure or
something.
Living the life of a sumowrestler, banging chicks and
eating rice.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Okay, I have something that I wanted to touch
on that happened yesterday.
I'm going to go with world newson this one, and this is my
understanding of it.
So the, the, the skit that Isaw, the, the skit.
Yeah, that gives me a lot ofhope I say skit because you
don't really know on theinternet what you're watching
I'm not sure if you saw this onsaturday night live last night

(29:54):
this was on the bbc, okay, so mysource is the BBC.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
US and UK forces help shoot down Iranian drones over
Jordan, syria and Iraq.
Is that what you're talking?

Speaker 1 (30:05):
about yeah, the drones, so they send 300 drones
over.
Now there's a twist at the endof this.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
It sounds like Israel is not part of that at all.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Not Israel.
So say it again, nick US and UK.
Uk forces help shoot downiranian drones over jordan,
syria and iraq.
So I like the drone talk, Ilike the, the learning about
drones.
Kind of just went to a droneconference.
I can't wait to show you guysthe picture are you allowed to
tell us about that?
Yeah, this is a droneconference and it's all it's.

(30:34):
It's, uh, it's, it's all aboutuh, building your own drones
BYOD.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, BYOD.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
So you can go there and show off.
You know, like this drone webuilt right here, you could take
it to these conferences and belike this is our design and it
does work and it's tested forsuch and such.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
And the US is like can we stravel bomb to it?
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
And then you go, that's up to you.
I sell you 2,000 of these atsuch and such price.
So he's at a conference, hesends me the stuff.
So the problem that I'm lookingat with this whole 300 drones
sent from where to where, nick.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Iran sent the drones.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Iran sent the drones Over Jordan, Syria and Iraq.
Iraq, Okay.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Jordan, syria and Iraq.
So Iran sends drones over 300of them and they have missile
defense systems that you can seevideos.
They knocked down 299 of them,so only one drone gets through,
that's all you need is one toget pregnant.
Correct.
So I'm thinking that whathappened was they went well, how

(31:41):
good is their missile defensesystem?
Well, because all we need to dois get I want to get a view, a
visual over top view of theother side of this thing.
So they were like well, they'regoing to knock down at least 99
of our stuff, so okay, so weneed to send at least 100.
Let's do 300, that way we canat least get one through.
And it's kind of bullshit thatthey did that to the other

(32:04):
country.
It's almost like a slap in theface.
They were like okay, well, weknow they're going to knock most
of them down, so we really wantto fly in there.
So we're just going tooverwhelm it and we'll get one
through.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Did the one that got through.
Drop a bomb or missile.
It hurt people.
It did.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
There were some injuries.
A younger woman, I believe, wasinjured.
Some property damage happenedhad bombs on it but I don't
think that that was the maingoal.
I think the main goal was togain intelligence.
See how many they could getthrough, yeah basically so that
was a test, that was a dronetest, right?
I think that's incredible.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Emergency broadcast system.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I don't really.
I'm not, you know, vying foreach side.
I don't know who's backing who,but the people that sent the
drones over did a publicannouncement and they said that
if America keeps helping withthis kind of stuff, we're going
to retaliate.
So we're actually, by helpingour allies shoot down all these

(33:07):
weaponized things that they'resending over, we're looking like
we're poking at the beast.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
We're the beast, we are the beast, we're the beast,
they're not the beast.
Okay, they're poking us.
Yeah, we are the beast, we'rethe beast, they're not the beast
.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Okay, they're poking us.
Yeah, I don't know.
I look at this stuff becauseI'm so far away from it.
I look at it and I go this isinsane.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I don't foresee Iran sending drones over the United
States.
I don't foresee that.
Can a drone make it that far?
They would have to first sendit on a ship.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
I don't know, they would have to fly it on a plane
and then release it.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
I mean, they can just show up here.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
So either way we're going to know that plane or that
ship, either way they send, itis coming and we're going to For
a while, we're going to knowFor a good five, ten minutes,
Five ten minutes If Iran sendsstuff into our airspace or sea
space we're going to say get thehell away or we're going to
blow you up, and we have thecapability to do such things.

(34:08):
I'd be more worried aboutairplanes again.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Nick, you got to see the shark.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
I did.
I haven't seen him today,though.
Where is he at?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
He's right there in the front.
Yeah, right in front of thecastle.
The glare is too much for me.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
I'd have to move, but I'll I'll see it before I leave
.
He's pretty good, did you?

Speaker 1 (34:28):
say it was toothless.
Oh, I see, I see his tail now.
Now he's, uh, he's an asiancatfish is that his name?

Speaker 3 (34:32):
toothless, toothless.
Oh yeah, like, like the dragon,yeah we could call him
toothless I were calling himSharky, but Sharky's kind of a
lame name.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Well, no, nicknamed him Sharkboy.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Sharkboy is better than Sharky.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah, look, he's got a white belly.
I love him.
I cleaned the tank too.
It took me like five hours.
It's pretty painful.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
So that thing can get up to three feet, four foot and
um they said an ideal tank likefor that maturity is what 300
something gallons.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Well, yeah, 300 gallons and y'all said it was.
That was like a ton of water sothis is 110 2,200 pounds I know
, yeah, it was 2005 uh, 2,250pounds I believe, over a ton
yeah yeah, I would be afraid toput that in my house, but people
do it yeah, but I don't know ifthey live in ranch style houses
I would want that in thebasement on some concrete.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, that's where it will be.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
It will be in the basement um, and I've I've
looked at my, my foundation ofthe house.
It's pretty good downstairs.
It could hold it, uh.
But yeah, I did you hear thepodcast cj, I was saying how I
sunk my house in like aroundhere.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, you said like near the the doorway.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
It was this wall right left side of the dining
room okay, and and the door forthe basement would come when I
opened it.
It would hit the ceiling.
Oh, wow, yeah, so it sunk down.
I mean, it was already a prettyclose door, like I built the
ceiling in and I made a goodhalf inch gap, so it sunk down a
good a little bit over a halfinch.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
So imagine three times of that weight your floor
would probably collapse Possibly, because I mean that means
we're sitting here at probablysomewhere around 700 pounds,
yeah, or so.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
It makes sense if you take and divide it by three.
Yeah, yeah, and that's anunmovable tank.
When it is got a half a foot ofwater in it, or a foot of water
left, it's nearly unmovable.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Right, because you're probably already damn near 150
pounds at that point.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
I had my friend Lauren come over because she has
fish tanks and stuff.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yeah, the friend who's like five foot flat.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
You picked this up lady.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, she is like she's five foot one and a half.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
That's the type of muscle you want helping to move
a fish tank.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
That's who you want to call up to move anything
really.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
You want the low push right.
You want to be down the bottom.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Low center of gravity .

Speaker 1 (36:55):
She was good.
I wouldn't have done it withouther.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Thank you, Lauren.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
I appreciate all of your help.
She's got a fish tank.
She was the one that inspiredme to get this fish tank.
So I went over to her house andshe has, like this oval in the
front, an ovalized front, flaton the sides, flat on the back,
and it's a lot smaller, it'slike a 50 gallon or something or
60 gallon, and her fish areawesome, they're great.

(37:18):
And I was like you're right, Ido need a fish tank in my house.
So the next week I startedbuilding the bot, building the
base and creating, and I went tomy brother's.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
So this is all.
To impress a girl is what I'mhearing from you.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
It was more like, instead of bothering her over
and over and over, I was likeI'm going to distract myself
with making a fish tank.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Yeah, Did you make this fish tank yourself?
His brother gave him the tank.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
I think he made the base okay and that is very nice
base thank you.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
It's a solid structure.

Speaker 2 (37:47):

Every single time they send mesomething it says lowest prices.
Got to keep waiting then, so,nick, I do need a depth finder
for my boat, so go ahead andpick one out for me.

(40:22):
That you think is great, cj,everything for the West Marine
is just.
Have you ever heard of anyonebuying stuff for a boat?

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Well, are you trying to save $550 or are you trying
to save $1,500?

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Saving If you're saving $1,500, that thing's
going to be $10,000.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
No, it's actually regularly $5,000.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Okay Saving $1,500,.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
It's $3,500.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
$3,499.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
It's funny because when I looked through that,
that's what stuck out for mefirst was like saving $550?
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
What's the number here, man, when you save?

Speaker 3 (41:08):
$550,.
You're regularly paying $1,200.
Now you're paying $649.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah, oh, my God.
Now $650 is not that much money.
No, it's not, but when you geta catalog for it, if you go to
the Raymarine Axiom 9 RVmultifunction display.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
You save $400.
That is regularly $999.
Say Now $599.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
As we get older, as I get older and I make more money
and things, that doesn't soundthat devastating of a hit.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
It's still $500.
Fucking, they do this stuff at7-Eleven.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Did either of you ever smoke cigarettes?

Speaker 1 (41:50):
I have like a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Yeah, I'm talking a long time ago, when they raised
it from like $6 to $12.
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
I quit long before they raised it.
I quit in around 2007.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yeah, that's about my .

Speaker 2 (41:59):
But like then it was like $3, $3.50, $4 a pack.
Now you see signs at the7-Eleven and Royal Farms.
Out front of them it says save$3.
So it's like it's still.
They didn't change the numbers.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
No.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
They put on the sign, they just what you're saving.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Put the word save in front of it right, it's saving
three dollars.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
How much is a pack of fucking cigarettes now?

Speaker 3 (42:21):
it's like eleven dollars, I think, a pack I don't
understand how people affordthose things.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
No, seriously, that's the reason you and I both
stopped.
We were like this is awesome,whoa, I quit okay, I quit
because they were not going toallow smoking in bars anymore,
so uh, they.
Now I have to walk they passedthat in 2007.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
You, I remember being outside when the first band of
this was.
We did a podcast, but it was2007, right, and uh, it was past
in 07.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
It started in 08 okay , so.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
So I remember it was so cold, it was like whatever.
Wherever I was, it was 20something degrees and people are
like I, going to go have acigarette.
I'm like for what?
There is no benefit to walkingoutside.
That doesn't make me thethought of smoking a cigarette,
does not make me want tophysically get everything

(43:14):
bundled up as much as I can andtry to survive out in that
tundra and it's windy yeah tryto survive out in that, in that
tundra it's windy, you know.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah, they, and they raise the prices at the same
time from three to about five orsix bucks.
Yeah, because I knew that theyneeded to still make profit.
I didn't even need anything tohelp me quit cigarettes.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
I was like I'm done with this shit, that's enough,
I'll do it what's crazy is whenI turned eight or, yeah, 18,
when you were legally able tobuy cigarettes back then.
Um, because now in maryland youhave to be 21 really yeah, I
didn't know that, yeah.
So I turned 18 in january andthen in october they changed it

(43:53):
so like and the bullshit thingat the time was um, they didn't
grandfather in all the peoplereally, yeah, so like.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
So, if you were, if you turned, if you were 19
already, yeah, and you werealready buying cigarettes.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
Yep, it's too late for you, wow, yeah, so you
weren't grandfathered in theygot you hooked and then made you
a criminal you mind, go backand buy me a pack of cigarettes
hey.

He said dr seymour butts, I wasa gynecologist for Halloween.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Did you get any play out of that?

Speaker 1 (50:44):
I did actually Way to go, it was nice.
One chick, or more than one.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
I came to a party with Okay, came at the party,
came to the party.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
I had one woman.
Yes, I came to a party and Imade other women upset.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Oh, you know, you did it right.
I didn't want to do that.
I came to a party and I madeother women upset.
Oh, you know, you did it right.
I didn't want to do that I feltreally bad.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
She was an ex of mine .

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Whatever, where was Jackson Holiday hitting in the
lineup when they played inBoston?

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Define the question when?
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Like one through nine yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Okay, yeah, where in the lineup was he batting?

Speaker 3 (51:21):
they're not gonna put them one through three, so it's
a question of first battersecond batter.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
I'll give you that.
It is somewhere four throughnine.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
They're not putting them in one through three yeah,
they're not.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
That's pretty much.
That's a given static.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Yeah, that's a fucking given so it's, it's
really I got six six spots thathe can be in and I and I know
he's not going to be nine it'sreally I got six spots that he
can be in, and I know he's notgoing to be nine.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
It's got to be the Boston series because they moved
him for the Milwaukee series,so just the Boston series.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
So he stayed in that position for both games he
played In Boston.
Yes, okay, so like okay, allright, so it's really only five
spots.
It's eight through four, Idon't think, or four through
eight.
They Five spots.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
It's eight through four, or four through eight.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
They're not putting him at nine.
Yeah, same difference.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
I mean he's not going to be eight.
You guys are talking about himon the podcast, so he's probably
closer to the four through thesix.
I'm going to say he was battingsixth.
I'm going to guess five.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
He batted ninth Really.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
He really did.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Nick did not win his t-shirt.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
I think the reason was because he replaced.
Tony Kemp, who was ninth, andthey didn't want to mess up the
rest of the lineup for thatseries.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
For the Milwaukee series he moved up to seventh.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Yeah, I don't like that.
That doesn't sound right.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Yeah, I don't know the reason for it and I thought
it was weird too, which is why Imade it a question.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Yeah, that's a weird one I I know, like you said like
one through three is yeahthat's the kind of.
I don't want your fucking shirtyes, way to go, cj I did my
part going moving forward.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
I just wanted to talk about the podcast in general.
We are the.
I've Been Tasked With podcastseries.
This is series one.
It's experimental.
We're going to be ending thisseries very shortly.
That doesn't mean we'restopping the podcast.
That means you guys should belistening in because we're going
to be honing these in to morespecific topics.
The next topic we're going tobe speaking of is drive Driving,

(53:25):
the drive of forces, the driveof events, things, what has
driven events, what drives us,what drives other people?
And we're going to be focusingon the word drive, and that's
going to be for a season, right,that's for the next season,
season two, and we've discussedthis.
And it's going to be for aseason, right, that's for the
next season, season two, andwe've discussed this, and it's
going to be called the.
I've been tasked with podcastdrive and so if you guys want to

(53:50):
hear you know more from what'sgoing to be coming, it's going
to be that the next series willbe whatever we decide will be a
good topic to dig into and diveinto.
Outside of that, I got nothingelse.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
I don't think I have anything else for today.
It's a very beautiful day out.
It is beautiful.
I'm off this week.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
What are you doing?
I'm going to be.
My plans are to.
I brought my WaveRunners backhere.
They're in Nick's yard now andI'm going to be putting the
batteries back inside those,making sure that they are
top-notch, taking them out bymyself, probably one at a time,
and making sure they're good.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
You doing any relaxing at all, or you consider
that relaxing.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
That is relaxing.
I mean, if you've ever been ona WaveRunner by yourself in the
water, I have too.
But going out by yourself, it'sliberating.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Are you actually going out on the wave runner
next week?
That's this week.
Yeah, this week, this weekcoming up, coming up start.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
So I do want to take the wave runners out.
I'm getting the the boat.
I'm going to start on the boattoday getting the batteries put
back in that, getting it startedup, getting some wiring done.
I went to west marine.
I sent nick a picture of what Ibought.
What was your?
It was a picture of like wires.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
I said like $112.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
I sent him a picture to say how much, how much was
this?
And I sent him a receiptpicture too.
How close was he Halfway?

Speaker 3 (55:12):
there.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
It was double that plus more.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
No plus some like change, it wasn't a lot more so
like $220.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
I said $112 and I think it was no Boston like
change.
It wasn't a lot more so like220, something like that.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
It was like 230.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
I said 112, and I think it was 240, I believe.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
No, I'll pull it up.
I got the text.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Now, there's a reason I do this.
It's not just to be like lookhow much money I spent.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
That's part of it, though.
No, it's not.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
I do want Nick to eventually get a boat and learn
how to.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Throw his money away, it's not throwing it away.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
It's going to be.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
I said 112.43.
It was 238.01.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
My vessel holds, so it was a little more than I
thought, got it 238.
Yeah, it's a little bit, it's adouble, but no, I needed wiring
for I for doing a batterymonitoring system on there.
So it actually takes the chargefrom the engine, disperses it
between two batteries, but bothbatteries don't have to be
turned on so you have a backupbattery that's always being

(56:09):
charged.
There's a whole system I'msetting up and my vessel holds
nine.
People Like you can literallyload my vessel up.
You can get ones that only holdfive, do you have safety
equipment for nine people.
No.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
So it cannot hold nine people.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
It cannot, but I don't, I will before we get that
many people on Word.
Yeah, and anyone under 16 wearsthe life vest the entire time
because you don't know whatthey're going to do.
Yeah, the rest of them.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
They know where their life vests are, but you can't
keep your life vest in a bag.
They'll find you if they pullyou over to, if you can't get to
them right away, if they're ina zipped-up bag.
But they can be under the seat,they can be under the seats,
but they can't be all in onepouch Right.
That makes sense.
I get it Easily accessible.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
I like to have them on hand.
I do have to have a throwable.
I need to buy a throwable acircle with ropes hanging off.
So Monday, tuesday andWednesday is going to be me
working on the boat, starting itup, getting it fired up.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
Try to get it up there Wednesday night, Thursday
morning I got to change the oil.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
This is an abandoned vessel that I obtained through
many people who have tried tofix this vessel and I finally
I'm the one that was able to getit legally in my name and fixed
and working.
Me and Nick have been out on itmultiple times.
Can't say that was allsuccessful, but we got back to
the dock Okay that's successful,then no, no, no, no.
Well, it was like 2 am andwe're're like I don't think

(57:41):
we're getting back sleeping onthe boat tonight.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
I think we're sleeping here.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
It was a little sketchy, it was sketchy, like we
weren't sinking, we were justnot.
It was no power and someasshole drove by us yeah, some
guy went right by us and we'relike waving our arms, like help
