The weather is actually, and itwas awful.
I got drenched on the way home.
I got poured on on the way backfrom friendship annex.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
The weather has been pissing me off because when I'm
home it doesn't want to rain, Itwants to be humid.
Think about it Like the circlearound our home of sunshine.
Prevents rain, but all around itlike is clouds and it just goes
in a circle around us.
It's like just kidding.
And today at work, at likemonsooned while we're not home,

(01:32):
and all I've really kind of beenwanting lately is one of those
really big storms of just rainand thunder and, like I And you
know, even if the electricitygoes out, that's okay, because
I'm in one of those type ofmoods.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
We're literally inside the building today and
like giving presentations andlistening to other people
present, and like it startedpouring the rain and everybody
thought it was just the ACkicked on.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I think that in my office too, because it happens
right behind me.

And I was coming back from lunch and like I walked in
soaking wet, soaking wet, andthey're like is it raining?
And I was like no, i just likefell in swimming pool, like yeah

They're like, yeah, it's notthe AC, it's the rain.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, in my office it's like that.
Like behind me There's abuilding behind us that they
just moved in an office thereand I can literally It's
actually quite funny, because Ican hear them like when they
were doing construction andeverything, and now that they're
in there I guess that's theirlike board room, meeting room or
something, and I hear it allthe shit that they're talking

(02:34):
about Insider secrets.
The things they do in the jokes.
They try to crack on each other, like these men back there.
It is hilarious and like I'mjust cracking.
I'm like I have no idea I canhear them.
I just kind of want to like goin and like put faces to the
name, to the voices or whatever,But every time it's always
monsoon.
Back off my sidetrack I alwayshear the rain and it sounds like

(02:57):
the AC is kicking on and it'snot, which is weird since
there's a building behind me,but it really, like I hear it,
it's crazy.
Then I just I know Mike has awindow in his office, so I
always just message him on teamslike is it raining?
Because I don't feel likegetting up and walking 10 steps
to look out the ultimate form oflazy.

(03:17):
Well, i can only see, because,like, right from my door, i can
see into the door, into the cafearea that there's a window.
Well, it's the lunchroom, thebreak room.
It's the main one and I can seethe window barely through there,
but that's what requires me tolean get up.

(03:39):
No, it's not lean like get upand then walk out my door and
look to the left, you're forcing.
Yeah, Sometimes I just don'twant to get up.
Sometimes I do, Sometimes Idon't.
But this morning one of mycoworkers told me because I
finally got a lamp from myoffice and it works really nice
And like the painting I have onthe back of my wall, like the

(04:01):
lamp reflects, It gives a nicelittle ambience.
because my coworker walked byand was like like the ambience.
I don't know if he's beingsarcastic or not, but he was
like I like the ambience in youroffice And I was like thank you
, It helps with my headache.
My boss comes in and is likethe darkness.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I live in darkness and I absolutely love it, It's
just.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't know.
It's just.
The new lights in our officeare just so bright, Just so
uncanny.
Like I'm telling you it'sinsane And they're just like out
there.
Did you excuse me?
Did you know that today, lastepisode, we talked about mental

(04:50):
men's mental health month?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (04:51):

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yes, i read that on.
Actually, i think I saw it onTikTok.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Oh, I heard it on the radio.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Was it.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, the radio show I listened to in the morning Kid
Craddock in the morning for allmy Texas, all of our Texas fans
, y'all know what I'm talkingabout.
If you used to listen, theyused to be on 96.1.
This is in San Antonio, texas.
They used to be on mix 96.1 andthen I found out they recently
changed to 101.9.

(05:23):
But they are also, i found out,in West Virginia, which was
awesome because when I woulddrive to work I could listen to
them and they were on 104.5.
So, but now that I have asatellite, they don't.
They're not up here in the DCMaryland area.
So I listened to them on Twitchand I love them, but every
morning they do like celebritybirthdays and they do like the

(05:48):
holidays.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
So they do not have a serious channel.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I don't know if they're on Twitch and they're on
like iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I don't know if they have a serious exam channel.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh no, they don't know.
They used to have a dish nationchannel back in the day, but
they don't have that anymore.
So I'm a huge fan of them.
Love them all.
Kelly Raspberry, Big Al, Mac,JC Chavez and part time Justin
and Anna, who is getting marriedthis week.
It's like I'm their bestfriends and they don't even know

(06:19):
who I am?
Actually I'm not really excitedbecause actually no, i have been
mentioned on Anna and herfriend, one of the girls who
works.
I think she I don't think sheworks at the Kid Chronic
Mournish show anymore, but shedid her and her friend have a
podcast called Remember.
I Told You This was a long timeago.
They're called.
It's called on cloud wine.

(06:39):
Oh, yeah.
And they were starting to watchthe vampire diaries.
And this was when the whole bigthing where everyone thought
This was before the vampirediaries actually left Netflix
and went to HBO Max.
But a couple years ago they hadtalked about leaving Netflix
and that they had like juststarted, and it was like they
had a month to watch eightseasons.

(07:00):
And so I had DM'd her onInstagram and was like Hey, just
saw this, just listen to yourepisode, i know you guys are
watching the show, and so ontheir next episode, she straight
up called me out.
She was like Kim possible, 1473on Instagram.
Kimberly Sharp like, completelylike, called me out and found

(07:22):
out that it was only in the UK.
But now they're officially noton Netflix, it's on HBO Max And
actually started.
My mood has been that I'vestarted watching vampire diaries
.
Oh God that's the type of moodI've been in.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
That's the worst, But anyway they don't have.
It's miserable.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
But I listen to them all the time.
I get excited.
Sometimes Kelly Raspberry willrespond to me when I DM her on
Instagram.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
You should, you should work in a podcast, shout
out.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I should, i should, i was talking to Kelly.
She doesn't know who I am, butI'm the husband.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
She constantly but her husband they have.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
They have a podcast which I really like.
It's called a sandwich and somelovin.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Didn't you see somebody tried to steal our
podcast name.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
What No?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, there was another, wasn't there somebody?
you told me about this.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, this was about someone I know And actually it's
not stealing our name.
So I thought about for thelongest time when I didn't know
if, when I thought aboutpossibly doing a podcast on my
own but it's really hard to likedo one by yourself.
I feel like for me, i don'tknow.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I feel like I could talk for hours on a podcast But
things that are passionate aboutme, but nobody would listen.
It's just going to be merambling about firearm stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
It just it takes time .
You know, we really have peoplewho listen to us, but yet here
we are.
But no, I was thinking aboutstarting a podcast for me or for
me or with just me and callingit Kim possible.
But then I had gotten on TickTock and Christy Carlson Romano,

(08:55):
who plays the voice of Kimpossible, had put on there about
how she was going to come outwith a Kim possible podcast And
I was like she's going to takemy name.
But she didn't even name it.
That, though, her and the guywho did Ron's voice.
They do it.
It's called something else.
I remember what it's called.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
You know I have mad respect for that.
I've listened to a couple oftimes on the on Spotify on his
podcast.
Who the tactical dad.
It's called tactical dadpodcast And when he started out,
like He tells you in his veryfirst episode, he's like I know
nothing about firearms, but I'vetaken it upon myself, now that
I'm a dad, to learn more and todive in the realm of firearms

(09:34):
and I want to document it andtake you along with me.
Good for him.
So, like I listened to his firstepisode and then I listened to
his last episode, okay, and theamount of information and
knowledge that this man hasgained is very impressive, and
just like How long has he beendoing it for It's a couple of
years.
I think, oh yeah, that's good.
But I got a lot of respect forthat man because, like, his

(09:55):
first podcast episode was likenine minutes long And just
talking about who he was andwhat he was going to do.
And like now he's like gettingmore into the weeds of things
And like if you'd ask, like ifyou'd ask me when he first
started up, like when I listenedto the first episode, i was
like man, this guy's got a longways to go Right.
But like now I listen to him,it's like it's amazing, like
when he put his mind to it andwhat he's achieved and what he

(10:17):
now knows, and now that you cangive recommendations to other
people, like super impressive,yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
That's always how I feel, like trying to figure
things out.
But then like I get down arabbit hole and then my mind
just started because I'llmessage you.
I'm like I'm either a genius orI don't even know what's going
on, but then like my brain justgets in like this overload, and
then I forget to like write itall down, but I save it all,
like I save all the like videosYou are definitely.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
You are definitely the podcast genius.
I'm trying out of the two of usbecause, like if I had to do,
like if you went out of town andyou told me you're like you
need to release a podcastepisode I would like.
I have no idea.
I have no fucking idea what I'mdoing, even if I told you like
how simple it was.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I don't think you would be.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Probably not.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
But.
But there's still so much Idon't know that I'm trying to
figure out, and sometimes mybrain goes faster than words can
come out of my mouth And whenI'm like trying to type or like
put it into words, like I can'tfigure it out on what I'm trying
to learn and what it is.
But like I reach out to myfriend Kyle, shout out to
brothers of the serpent podcast.
I reach out to my friend Kylesnake like all the time And like

(11:26):
I always catch him right whenhe's down a rabbit hole because,
like him and Russ are likebranching out their podcast to
do more stuff too.
So like I always catch him atlike the opportune moment and
we're just sitting there likeback and forth to because I'm
just like in this brain over.
Let me just fry my brain tryingto figure it all out.
And then there's times I'm likeI should just hire an editor,

(11:46):
but then I'm like I don't havethat kind of money I can not
right now, no way.
Sure, but I got thought of agood idea recently when I was
grocery shopping was I gotLunchables like easy on those
days where the 06 I worked formade a made a comment to me the

(12:10):
other day about my lunch.
Oh, please tell me.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
So I'm sitting there, he's no, six Navy type
submarine force now works at mycurrent office and I'm sitting
there and I pulled up my, myCapri son.
He goes is, are you drinking aCapri son?
And I was like, wait till yousee what comes out next, sir.
And I pulled out the lunch boy,because you are a fucking man

(12:33):
child.
And I was like I was like mywife packed it for me, and then
I yanked out the cosmic brownie.
He was like oh my God, he'slike you have the same lunch.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I packed my seven year old daughter And I was like
yeah, i find it very like notonly nostalgic in a lot of ways,
but I find it as like a goodlittle, like surprise, like not
only, yes, i can make sandwichesand put all sorts of regular
snacks, you would also put in aseven year old's lunch but at
the same time it kind of givesus nostalgic feeling of like I'm

(13:07):
going to put a Capri son orlunchable in there You got to
think about the perception.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
So like I lead, i lead like a division of probably
a hundred people.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Well, fine, Tomorrow I'll put leftovers.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
It doesn't bother me at all, but like imagine, if you
like, your supervisor, whomakes decisions that change the
outcome of oh no, they all havetheir fancy leftover containers
that they bring.
Well, you got to think if youwere on this floor, right And
like the man who makes decisions, like they could change the
tide of how something happens.

(13:38):
Right And like you look overand your direct supervisor is a
31 year old redneck and he pullsout of his Coleman lunchbox a
lunchable and you're like that'sthe man who makes decisions for
me.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
I'd be like I'm sticking with him in the
apocalypse because he gets shitdone.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
He doesn't care, They .
I actually sparked a wholeconversation about Vienna
sausages one day just because Ihad him sitting on my desk.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, nasty.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
And like well, so I had a meeting with the chief of
staff, the deputy My, my directsupervisor and a couple of the
other team members and like theyall come to sit down, i just
turn around, pop top one of acan of Vienna sausages and I was
like They're like, oh, we'regonna sit down have a meeting.
And I just suck back the juiceand the chief of staff was like

(14:24):
I Can respect that and everybodyelse like no, that's fucking
gross.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Everyone else if that's gross.
Speaking of gross, i wasRounding back to the lunchable.
The cookies in those things areawful.

Speaker 2 (14:41):

Speaker 1 (14:42):
They're disgusting the Oreo cookies, the lemon ones

Speaker 2 (14:46):
The white blondies the white blonde, they're not,
they're not awful, they're kindof stale.

Speaker 1 (14:51):

weird aftertaste.

in my infant years, sitting inthe wooden chair that my grandpa
made me Watching Barney rerunsmy mom always told me when I was
younger I watched Barney somuch I was gonna turn to a
purple dinosaur.
You turn into a dinosaursometimes, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Something else I kind of wanted to ring up, because
we talked about this a while ago, aggressive face-washing.
Because I definitely knowthat's not what.
That doesn't.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Woohoo you it makes me giggle.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well, the other day you were sitting on the couch.
You got really or no, youweren't sitting on the couch,
you were sitting in your chair,right here, i believe okay, and
you Did some, you like, alignedyour head perfectly because you
were getting down to business onsomething.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Oh yeah, i was gaming you were.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
No, you weren't gaming, you were looking, you
were getting ready to do I don'tknow any, who doesn't matter,
but you Put your hat on like youwere adjusting it, perfectly,
like getting down to business,and it made me think of your
Woohoo story.
You told me how you got wooedat yeah, we're not gonna go over
that but It made me think aboutit.
I thought, when you did it, iwas like you are so handsome.

(18:27):
And then it made me think ofyour.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, we're not, we're not gonna go, we're not
gonna go into that.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh, I think it'd be funny.
No, that's not whatever, um,but yes, my, my, aggressive.
The other day we were in theshower.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, we were taking a shower and I was done And I
was done.
I was just watching her washher face and She, she puts all
her face wash on right and thenI see her like take a pause and
Like like she's thinking realhard about something.
And then and then, and then Ihear her take a deep breath And

(19:03):
then she like does like a 20degree squat and then
aggressively scrubs her face toget all the face wash off.
And then when she comes out shegoes, oh, like she was holding
her breath like scrub, as I was.
Like you know, you can likebreathe in the shower, like you
can breathe through your nose asyou wash your face, because the
water's coming down and you'rebreathing up.

(19:25):
I was like you like squattedlike you were getting ready to
do an Olympic deadlift.
She was like She's like scrubsaggressively, like she's running
out of time, like she's onlygot 25 seconds to wash her face,
so the water's gonna turn intoacid and then like breeze out
like she just finished a 500against Michael Phelps just.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
And I started laughing.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
She's like what I was like.
You don't have to wash yourface so aggressively.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
But I wanted to get.
I had to get all that makeupoff and I wanted to get all the
mascara off And so I was justlike intensely scrubbing, but
Something, speaking of makeup, iwas thinking about this.
So this is something that hasnever left me Since I worked at
my, my last job in Texas.
So I Have, i was told I havedays of the week.

(20:19):
Do you remember this?
you do?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
have days of the week .

Speaker 1 (20:23):
I, when I worked in Texas, one of my co-workers
would come to me and slowlystarted calling me Monday Kim,
tuesday Kim, wednesday Kim,friday Kim, and it all goes
based on how I dress throughoutthe week.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, as the week goes on, you get progressively
worse.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
No, it was.
It was different.
Like Monday Tuesday I wouldcome in like I was hungover from
the weekend, trying to regroupby life, and by Wednesday
Thursday I slightly startedgetting better and by Thursday
Friday, i always came in, i hadmakeup on and whatever to
probably go out for the weekendor something.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, that was when you were like drinking heavily
on the weekends, but now it'sthe exact opposite.
Like in the beginning of theweek, you like, like today you
had your pants suit on.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
It's payroll day?
You never know.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
You had your pants suit on right, but as the week
goes on, you progressively.
Just don't give a more of ashit.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
But I noticed that too, because I'm thinking oh
well, just work from home, ijust gotta get through today.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, monday, monday's like Monday's, like to
the nines, tuesday's a littleless, unless it's a payroll day.
And then Wednesday you're justlike I gotta look professional.
And then, like Thursday andFriday, it's just like I'm not
even gonna put pants on today,that's right, no one's gonna see
me.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I'm working home, but it I've never, that's never
left.
Like I think about that to thisday.
Every morning, when I getdressed like What would Gabe say
to me Like right now, what dayof the week am I?
and I'm like I'm straight up,cuz then it got to a point where
he would come into the.
I'm like what's going on?
It's a Friday and you'relooking like a Monday.

(22:00):
I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
I drank two and a half bottles of wine last night,
but it to.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
This was to three go with three years ago now,
probably go on three years andIt is to this day, never left me
every time I get ready in themorning, like what day of the
week am I for one, what day isit really, and how am I
accommodating to dress for thatday of the week?
But it's just always cracked meup that and I never even

(22:29):
realized it until he mentionedit.
And then the more he mentionedit, the more I focus aligned
yourself.
I don't know if he listens tothis podcast, but if he does I
hope he gets a kick out of that,because thanks to him I know so
I have a shout out.

Speaker 2 (22:47):

all right, all right, all right,i like them.
High school girl.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, but you can't say that as a 30 year old now.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
He was like that age, he was like 26 or something,
like supposed to be in thatwhatever movie, but but the one
little like pothead kid.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
He was always like.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I don't remember any day later and they were making
like what are you doing?
He's like whoa, I didn't knowmy case man.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I don't remember any of that.
Oh my god, i love it.
It's like I don't ever thinkI've actually watched that movie
through and full.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Oh, it's great The soundtracks awesome opening
arrow Smith sweet emotionopening scene.
Oh boy, it's great.
It's great movie Based in rightnow.
If we made a movie about 20years ago would be 2003 is what
days confused was.
When it came out in 1994 Wasburr 90s in the 90s and it was

(26:00):
based on 1976, basically thesame time frame.
I'm stuck in the thing.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I'm stuck in a time loop, by the way.
Okay because when people tellme 20 years ago Yes, 1980s.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, i was gonna say I think 70s, 80s And it's not
and it's not.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's early 2000s.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
We were teenagers.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
I Wasn't even well, i mean yeah, 2005, 2006.
Yeah, it's my first year highschool.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay, let's 2000, it's 2023, so 20 years ago would
be 2003, which I was in sixthgrade.
I was 13.
I Was in seventh grade becauseyou're an old bitty.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, you old bitty.
So I went down.
I went down a rabbit hole todaymyself, so I registered for the
bang steel course.
It's gonna be August 4th and5th.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Not because this weekend I wanted to do.
They have a range and matchweekend July 28 29.
They have a range and match orrange and competition match that
weekend And I didn't want tohave them to reschedule it.
So like I'm not worthrescheduling planning for, but
they do have a class on thefourth and fifth.
So I scheduled for that and Iwas.

(27:16):
I've been shooting out of my six, five the Hornady 147 grain
ELDMs, the LDM matches, becausethey have a really good drag
coefficient, they perform wellat distance, right.
So I went down a rabbit holeday because What they recommend
bring into your course, ifyou're gonna shoot that long a
distance, that all yourammunition comes from the same

(27:36):
lot number, because it meansThey use the same batch of
primers, same batch, the samebatch of casing, same batch of
bullets, same That's a powder,like it's all consistent, right.
Because when you change lotnumbers, like some of those
things can change, like wherethe brass came from, where the
bullets came from, like whichway they were manufactured, and
To get accuracy a distance, youwant to keep all of your, your

(27:59):
factors, the same, limit theamount of stuff that changes.
So I went down this rabbit holetoday.
I was like I Should reallystart reloading my precision
ammunition because they talk alot about hand loads on their
podcast And I saw I went downthis rabbit hole of like how
much reloading ammunition,reloading equipment would cost,
what the dyes would cost, whatthe powders gonna cost me,

(28:21):
primers would cost me because Iprobably have three or four
hundred rounds of casings,because I've always saved my six
, five casings, because six,five right now is like a dollar
fifty nine a round, which is notcheap, because a box of 20 is
gonna be, you know, 30 bucksLike just for like field and
range stuff.
When, all, when you get intoprecision stuff, like I know

(28:42):
nozzler match grade right nowIt's going for like 60 some
bucks Like for a box of 20, butlike when you're getting talking
match ammunition, you'retalking like very precise stuff.
So I was like, well, if I can,like the initial investment is
gonna be really expensive, liketo get the equipment but like

(29:02):
It's gonna depend on how muchprimers and powders gonna cost.
I think in the end I couldprobably save some money it or
at least get better results ormore consistent results, because
I know Exactly what my powderload is gonna do every time I
pull the trigger.
Well, that's good but that'sthe rabbit hole I went down
today was on reloading equipmentgood.
And where it's also gonna takeme.

(29:24):
just I was sitting here, i gota box of open shells next to me.
I was thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I Was thinking about.
I saw someone the other dayTake a photo, something I don't
know maybe think of like howmany?
maybe think of how many timespeople probably take photos, if
you don't realize it.
Oh, all the time all the timeand It made me, it reminded me
of I don't know if I talkedabout this on the previous

(29:49):
episode, i don't think so where,when we went to Myrtle Beach.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, we've talked about this before I caught
someone taking a photo of me.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Ah, so pissed.
But I just sit there and thinklike How many times throughout
the day like You could bewalking anywhere and someone's
just well, think about everytime we go to a falling steel
match or a three gun match.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
I would mean how many people were recorded.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Oh yeah, absolutely Oh.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Like how many people say, man, now like that guy's
equipment, it's like let's seewhat he does and like we'll
record the stage or something.
Yeah or it's sporting playsevents how many people go around
with a camera just takingpictures of all the events and
stuff.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, i didn't mean stuff like that, though.
I meant like like incognitolike.
I'm gonna act like I'm taking aphoto of the ocean when in
reality, i'm taking a photo ofyou.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean Horned dogs.
Do horned dog shit, man?
But how many times have youbeen in public like, wow, that
guy's be, that person's doingsomething really dumb?
Let me take a picture of this,or you see something just like.
It's like oh, i gotta talk tomy wife about this.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
This is gonna show you the kick out of this.
Yeah, we're talking about itversus taking a picture.
But I mean, yeah, yes, there'sjust a difference or a line of
when it's Funny but not funnyversus when you know it's yeah,
like the guy, like the guy oldspank bank like the guy, like
the guy at the fucking malltaking pictures of Women the as

(31:09):
they walk up or down the stairs.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Oh my god a whole binder full of cooter shots.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Nasty, nasty, nasty.
Well, anything else you got fortoday.
We've had a long week.
It's only Tuesday, jesus Christ, it's only Tuesday.
It's.
It was a kind of a long weekend.
The weather has been a littleweird.
It's been sultry outside.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
You've been in a mood to.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Know I'm ready to get out of it.
I'm ready for it to be done andover with.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, you've not.
You've not been in the best ofspirits this week, and but this
morning helped.
Yeah, this morning was okay.
It's pretty decent.
Decent well, I can't just likego x-rated on Podcasts right now
.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
You can use word other than my mother listens to
this.
I'm not asking you to put x-boythat Emily sent me a thing
today.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
No boy.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Oh my god.
She sent me a video which, bythe way, holly Emily bifur,
listening to this is mightappreciate this Hollywood.
She sent me a video which I'mgonna have to send it to Holly
now because She sent me.
She said They should have donethis for their gender reveal and
it's kind of like the LionsgateDeal and it's all these clips

(32:29):
mesh together About how the babywas conceived of, like them and
like all these different movieclips.
Well, i think baby comes from alittle, like a little stork
brings it down, and then there'syour baby, and then like, and
then like all the go, like, growand like on all of it and then
how it comes to be, and thenlike what the well, we want to
know, we want to know, tell it,tell us, like all these

(32:49):
different movie clips, and it'sreally really funny and really
cute.
And then at the end they do thegender reveal for everybody on
the movie screen of like It's agirl, it's a boy, and I thought
it was awesome and I was likethat would have been an awesome
idea.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Well, they can do it for the next one.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
But no one have to send it to her could, so but
that's a really good idea thatlike gender reveals, like,
because there's so manydifferent ways to do them.
But like it's pretty cool, liketo find all these different
movies of like Meeting and likegoing through the whole process.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Oh, I didn't talk about Goonbeam.
My Goonbeam came in that talkabout on the last one.
No, because I had ordered it.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
No, you ordered it, but it came in.
Because it came in.
Oh, you're not your sweater.
That's two sizes.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Oh my, yeah, that's my sweater, my sin nude sweater.
That's two sizes too small.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah, we can end on this.
Let's hear about it.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah.
So if you don't, if you don'tknow what Goonbeam is, it's a
flashlight maker and They'remodeled after the stream light.
Now they have to like grabregular ones.
So this is the.
This is the v2 short.
It's pistol-mounted weaponlight and It is 1200 lumens and

(34:07):
it's an LED.
So it's it's the exact samesize, weight and makeup of The
TLR1 HL, but the internals andthe light, like the actual
reflector and light is different.
And this thing is absolutelyimpressive Because I did a
side-by-side comparison with myTLR1 HL and the Goonbeam and the

(34:27):
Goonbeam outperforms the TLR1HL just as far as like spot
focus, candela power, because Iused it on like How far I can
see in my backyard, like up intothe woods, right.
So like the TLR1 HL has a widerbeam, so you get more like
coverage, but the Goonbeam ismore focused, but you get more
penetration, so like I could seelike Detail down into the woods

(34:51):
versus like just like lightenup the playground and seeing
like the woods were there.
So if you haven't checked themout, highly recommend checking
out Goonbeam.
They have long rifle mountsWML's.
They have pistol mounted WML's.
They have the V2 short.
They have the V2 more, whichhas more lumens than they have
like different types.

(35:12):
But check them out.
Goonbeam super happy with mine,i don't have any complaints yet
and it comes with a batterycharger for your 123s, so you
don't have to keep buyingbatteries all the time.
Cool, i recommend Goonbeam.
And they send you a whole bunchof cool stickers.
Well, my favorite one sayspresidents are temporary, but Wu

(35:33):
Tang is forever On that note.
