route, I guess.
I was going for like, you know,layered meanings, if you will.
Or unplugged in general.
Yes, sir.
Uh how about set and center raw?
No, that's set and centerbareback, as might as well be.
All right.
(01:00):

In the wild.
Let's go within the raw dog.
Yeah.
No raw dog in here.
No raw dog in here on this show.
Um yeah, so we are this is ourfirst attempt to uh record an
episode of the show outside, uh,pretty much in the wild.
I mean, we're here on the ranch.
Um and we we we we startedarguing about nebulas a few
(01:26):
minutes ago.
Um, so this we didn't reallyplan to record this episode.
Um, but we thought, you know, wehad talked about doing one
outside.
Right?
Yep, we have.
And what we came out here to dooriginally is not working out.
SPEAKER_02 (01:43):
No, which is uh
well, oh yeah, doing the
astrophotography and stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (01:48):
Yeah, because we're
uh well, is it astrophotography
or is it astro telescope thewait, telescopy?
Colonoscopy?
No.
Colonel It's still calledastrophotography.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because we've got uh we we weboth have the are they are they
(02:09):
called smart telescopes?
Is that what they're called?
Yeah, it's a smart telescope.
Okay, so we both have those.
Um I've had mine for a littlebit, but haven't really ever
used it.
You got one recently, and alongwith that, we both have a
renewed interest in Telask, nostars.
Stars, shoot shooting the nightsky, which out here is
(02:31):
absolutely just unbelievablygorgeous.
SPEAKER_02 (02:33):
Oh, it's just it's
beautiful.
It it you know, the only problemtonight is there's a lot of
clouds that we're hoping alleventually go away, but they
just look to be getting thickerand thicker, but yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (02:45):
Uh I thought you
were gonna call somebody about
that.
SPEAKER_02 (02:48):
About the clouds?
Yeah, I did, but they wantedanswer.
They're pissed at me.
You have the right you callNASA, right?
No, NASA doesn't do anything foroh.
I called I called Musk.
Oh, well, could he do that?
I figured if anybody could doit, Musk could do it.
He's got a he's got a lot of bigrockets.
Yeah, I have him and SpaceX,they should be able to do that.
SPEAKER_01 (03:12):
Yeah, excuse me.
Uh SpaceX uh and Starlink.
Well, Starlink is a division ofSpaceX.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you didn't know thatreally.
SPEAKER_02 (03:21):
Uh no, I don't pay
attention to that as long as I
can get my YouTube's.
Did you know it was an Elon Muskcompany, Starlink, though?
Oh, yeah, I didn't know that wasElon Musk.
Yeah.
And we're not like fanboys ofElon Musk.
Um we just like his productsbecause we both we both have
Starlink.
I'm telling you, man.
SPEAKER_01 (03:37):
Yeah, of course, out
here we have I mean, we don't
have to have Starlink, but it'sthe only viable option.
Uh because the old schoolsatellite radio is bullshit.
Oh yeah.
And apart from that, I think youmaybe could get some DS.
I don't even think DSL,honestly.
Um so yeah, uh Starlink.
I'm currently in a fight withthe AAI, the Starlink AI and the
(04:01):
customer support thing.
Um that'll which is really myfault uh for not bolting that
fucking thing down four yearsago.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (04:10):
But on the flip
side, it lasted four years.
Yeah, mine fell off the the topof the fifth wheel today, and it
it landed face up, and I stillget Starlink, so I haven't
worried about putting it back upthere and bolting it down.
Christina'll get mad if I putyou know big old lag bolts
through the slide-outs.
Probably.
(04:30):
Um I'd get mad too.
SPEAKER_01 (04:32):
Yeah.
So you're so yeah, mine was goodfor four years, and yours good
like for like four days.
Because you just moved it.
SPEAKER_02 (04:39):
Yeah, yeah.
We just moved it after we gotthe the trench dug and the the
water and and uh electricitypowered up here.
We moved the both the littletrailer and the fifth wheel, so
that makes it nice and adifferent location.
The little trailer.
What's that?
SPEAKER_01 (04:56):
The little trailer.
SPEAKER_02 (04:57):
Yeah, the little
trailer.
SPEAKER_01 (04:58):
Yeah, yeah.
Oh saying it for emphasis.
SPEAKER_02 (05:00):
Oh, yeah.
Not the utility trailer.
Not the utility trailer, it's alittle RV, 25 foot.
Uh yes.
Yep.
So got those in place and allthat covered up and and done.
Just a couple more little thingsto move around and we'll be good
to go on that.
SPEAKER_01 (05:15):
Which was an
excellent segue back to I wonder
what you call that, like like aseg back, because that was a
really good tie-in.
Did you notice what you did?
Because I jumped in andclarified that it was not the
utility trailer.
Right.
We've thought about that before.
Yes, we have.
And then you said kind of endedyour thing, like saying, you
(05:36):
know, we just gotta get somestuff moved up.
And that's a great seg back tothe utility trailer, which uh I
had with me last night or thenight before for reasons.
Oh, to pick up big piles of woodthat my mom left all over the
ranch.
And I left it here, and so it'sit's here ready to go for your
piles of stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (05:56):
Yeah, I was gonna
need my ball though.
Yeah, I did need your ballbecause I I got a two-inch ball
and it's a one in seven-eighthsball.
So my ball's too might be oneball's too big.
SPEAKER_01 (06:04):
All your balls are
too big, is what you're saying.
SPEAKER_02 (06:05):
One ball's too
bigger than the other one.
Yeah.
unknown (06:07):
Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01 (06:10):
I'm surprised.
Well, I'm not surprised youremember all the different ball
sizes, but it is isn't itsurprising that I don't remember
all the ball sizes when youthink about it.
SPEAKER_02 (06:18):
Yeah.
Because your one your one hitchhas three balls and a hook.
It does, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (06:23):
And so, like that,
yeah, that's one of the reasons
probably I don't remember theball sizes, because I don't need
to.
It's like hook, small ball,medium ball, big ball.
Yeah.
Um, and uh this really doesn'ttrack or make any sense, but I'm
just gonna say it because whatwas in my head.
Speaking of balls, you got me auh you got me a gift for my
(06:44):
birthday recently, uh tripod forset for these telescopes that
were my telescope.
SPEAKER_02 (06:50):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (06:50):
Because which is
very nice.
Thank you again.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Um because I well, when westarted talking about it, I was
like, Yeah, I have one, but Idon't have a tripod and
whatever.
Uh yeah, really, it's a reallycool thing.
Um and then did you have thesame one?
SPEAKER_02 (07:04):
Yeah, I got the
exact same one as you.
SPEAKER_01 (07:06):
Cool, cool.
Yeah, it's nice.
Um I did bring uh uh we talkedabout because it's windy, uh,
weighing it down, and I waslike, oh, well there's a hook in
the and then you were like,well, it says to get something
that hangs close to the ground,blah blah and I'll tell you why,
because gravity, probably orsomething.
Probably, but I'm like, no,dude, uh I got extra tires off
(07:29):
the X-bed, like a ratchetingstrap, ch ching, done.
Like, we'll not overcomplicateour lives.
Yeah, it wasn't going anywhere.
No, uh, yeah, I didn't bringthat, but I did bring a an
anchor.
It's this little box right here,actually, that's holding down
the new table that I made, whichis just another box for my
truck.
But it's the battery box, andinside it is a really heavy
(07:52):
six-disc changer that I rippedout of the X-bed.
Oh, yeah, and a ratchet strap.
SPEAKER_02 (07:57):
So there you go.
I remember those six discchangers.
That was a long time ago.
SPEAKER_01 (08:01):
No, I just brought
it over here today.
SPEAKER_02 (08:03):
Well, no, but when
they first came out with them.
SPEAKER_01 (08:06):
Yeah, I'm well,
yeah.
This one was in the centerconsole.
I remember, I think I may havehad a car one time, it was in
the trunk.
Right, right.
SPEAKER_02 (08:17):
Yeah, I've always
had trucks, so they were always
underneath the back seat.
SPEAKER_01 (08:23):
Even in four, well,
I guess you didn't have one at
four because this one was in theconsole.
Oh, they probably did put themunder the back seat because this
thing took up the whole fuckingconsole.
Yeah.
Somebody was probably one daylike, oh, this is stupid.
We should put it somewhere else.
SPEAKER_02 (08:35):
Yeah, I always I
always installed mine from one
rig to the other because I Iused to be really notorious for
about every two years gettingrid of one rig and getting
another, so I'd rip all thatcrap out.
SPEAKER_01 (08:46):
What?
You yeah, what differentdifferent rigs?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (08:50):
Well, I've been
doing pretty good.
It's I mean, I bought the oneton in June, but that's the
first new rig I bought in threeyears.
Newer.
It's not new, but I neededsomething to haul the fifth
wheel from Washington State downhere to Texas.
SPEAKER_01 (09:04):
And four-wheel
drive.
Well, you're sorry, you have Imean your Tahoe's four-wheel
drive.
Yep, Tahoe's four-wheel drive.
But if you towed the fifth wheelwith that, it'd be really noisy
inside.
SPEAKER_02 (09:15):
I'd have yeah, I'd
have to cut the top off the top.
I'd be missing most of the roof.
I'd probably lose a dog or twoon the way out.
SPEAKER_01 (09:25):
Yeah.
I think you'd be okay if youonly lost one dog, depending on
which one.
But if you lost both, you get introuble.
SPEAKER_02 (09:31):
Yeah, if if I lost
the bulldog, then probably
wouldn't be in as much trouble.
SPEAKER_01 (09:35):
She's just like, oh,
just keep going.
That's fine.
That's a good thing.
SPEAKER_02 (09:38):
That's the one thing
about the bulldog, she's so old
now that she can't jump thathigh.
So yeah, we actually I actuallybuilt him steps today.
Uh one is because I'm gettingold, having trouble getting up
and down steps, but easier forChristina also.
And then Maggie, she couldn'tget up and down the RV steps, so
you had to pick the potato upand put her down.
(09:59):
So that's going down.
Yeah.
Going back up, you just put myfoot in her butt.
There you go.
Just barely touch her butt andshe said, Oh, and runs.
But yeah, now she loves going inand out.
That's great, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (10:11):
You've been like
really killing it here the last
uh couple weeks, getting allkinds of shit done.
SPEAKER_02 (10:15):
Well, I had to do
something to impress your mom.
I mean, I could you couldn'ttell her that for the last three
weeks I've sat on my ass andwatched YouTube.
Well, you know, uh yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (10:26):
Which I did, which
you did, but at the same time,
you got a lot of stuff done.
And I don't I don't think you'retrying to impress anybody.
You got some good momentum, andyou know, you got your steps on
and all that.
And you know what they say, onestep at a time.
One step at a time.
Oh, geez.
Did we talk about the clouds?
SPEAKER_02 (10:44):
That the clouds
rolled in, so we can't.
Yeah.
Oh, we already covered that.
I don't know.
Somebody put baby in a corner.
Don't don't.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, I did get some feedback fromChristina, and she's I think her
and Cindy said that you need touh watch uh um dirty dancing.
(11:05):
Um get caught up on I'll tellyou a couple thoughts on that.
SPEAKER_01 (11:11):
Uh if you flash if
you go back a few weeks in my
life, I would have no problemwatching Dirty Dancing, and I'm
sure it's a great movie.
Um but now it does have someassociation with uh what do they
call it, PTSD?
Um, because of you.
Um and also I think there was Ithink one of the listeners made
a comment that they would liketo have they would like to see
(11:34):
um an ep or hair an episodewhere basically I have been
forced to watch Dirty Dancingand Funny Nemo because you
brought that up too.
Oh yeah.
And then give my review.
Yeah.
Um I don't know if I don't thinkthat's fair to those movies
because it's since I'll bewatching them under duress, my
review maybe just be reallybitchy.
(11:54):
Well, we'll still find out.
We're gonna sit you down andmake you watch them.
SPEAKER_03 (11:57):
Oh god.
SPEAKER_01 (11:58):

the cartoon one I'm uh I mean
I'll I'll do it if I have to.
If the listeners really want it,I'll do it.
Cartoon one's gonna be a slug.
I'm not big on those kind ofmovies, but I'm sure dirty
dancing's good.
Like yeah, it's good.
Yeah, people talk about it.

Let me tell you who Eric Daneis.
(13:32):
Uh he's he's an actor man.

I got it, I got it cued.
I got it cued, but I went adifferent direction.

SPEAKER_01 (15:09):
Yeah.

I'll say that.
Um, I can see why you couldn'tget into it potentially though.
Although if we're gonna makeeach other watch movies, I may
what make you watch that one.
Not because I'm like it's one ofmy favorite movies, but because
uh they recently came out withuh not director's cut, but um a
(15:31):
whatever where they put bothvolumes together and change a
little bit so it ties togetherand it's like six hours long.
Oh, okay.
So I should make you watch that.
Yeah, yeah.
Not David Carradine.
David Carrodine.
There's a carradine for you.
Okay.
All right.
Now we're doing carradine.
What?
When did he pass away?
Oh, I don't know.
I was pretty excited I figuredout the first part.
Um he's probably dead because hewas dead.
SPEAKER_02 (15:53):
I thought it was a
while ago that he passed away.
SPEAKER_01 (15:55):
Uh it wasn't that
long, 2009.

It was a bad year for actors.
Two of them that we know of.
SPEAKER_01 (16:08):
Oh, bad year for
actors.
SPEAKER_03 (16:11):
Oh yeah, probably.
SPEAKER_01 (16:16):
I mean, bad year for
the Swayze family and the
Carradine family, I suppose.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, you know, goddammit.
I I hate that I'm doing thisright now because I feel like
for a podcast about a dog ranchand all this stuff, we spent too
so much time on Patrick Swayze.
(16:36):
But I'm really I it was a realquestion.
Like, was he famous?
Like, I know like he was becauseI know the name, but like did

SPEAKER_01 (17:29):
We're uh I'm just I
don't want to get in the whole
original remake of call the samething, and is it really Red Dawn
2?
You won't remember what the hellwe're talking about.
No, you you won't remember, andI'll be pissed.
Uh okay, fair enough.

Which, of course, we you know,we don't share our last name.
Did you hear that?
Yeah, shutting downautomatically.
(18:46):
The literature the listenersheard that.
Yeah.
Um as much as it probably isappropriate for this podcast
episode, because it's so uh uhexciting, it is not the
microphone shutting itself downin in in protest.
It's what was that?
No, it was my telescope.
It was your telescope, yeah.
Because mine talks to me, andyou're like, oh, mine's supposed
(19:09):
to talk, but I don't know how toget it to talk.
And you're we we're sodifferent, you and I, because
I'm like, mine talks to me, andI can't figure out how to
fucking turn it off.
And it talks to me all the time.
You're like, ooh, how'd I turnthat on?
SPEAKER_02 (19:24):
Yeah, I can't figure
out how to turn it on.
SPEAKER_01 (19:27):
Yeah, um, that's
what I've heard.
SPEAKER_02 (19:29):
Oh, hey, uh we
actually got some feedback on
what?
On our podcast.
SPEAKER_01 (19:36):
Uh oh, uh like a
review or something?
SPEAKER_02 (19:40):
Yeah, uh, just
somebody giving us some
feedback.
Let me find it.
It's okay.
Here we go.
This is uh from somebody, we'lljust call her the vodka queen.
Fair enough.
This is listen to uh to yourguys' last two podcasts this
morning.
You guys I'm sorry, I pushed thewrong button.
(20:03):
You guys are doing great.
Love the commentary.
I was a little worried you wereoffending Ryan's mom and chased
her off.
She didn't know your mom verywell.
Yeah, but she came back, lol.
I decided to listen to thepodcast this morning, which was
about a week ago.
Instead of in the afternoonwhile I was taking a break.
But you're here's the fun part.
(20:25):
Uh-huh.
But both your voices are somonotone.
What?
Soothing and calming.
Oh.
You put me to sleep, lol.
What?
Yeah, it takes me a few days toget through one podcast.
SPEAKER_03 (20:37):
Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02 (20:38):
Yeah, that's that's
why I nicknamed her the vodka
queen.
Because she's mean, I guess.
Wait, keep are you done?
Uh more.
Maybe one of you needs to have avoice like Robin Williams in the
movie Good Morning Vietnam.
What am I supposed to do?
Scream, good morning, Texas! Imean, shit.
Don't.
Yeah.
No, don't.
I don't uh not meaning any disson your podcast.
(21:01):
I do enjoy listening, so I amable to stay caught up on what
and how you guys are doing.
SPEAKER_01 (21:09):
Well, is that it?
That's it.
Okay.
Um, here's my first thought.
That was a wild ride.
Yeah.
The whole thing for me,emotionally.
Yeah.
Uh and another thing I'll say.
So basically, we're a wavemachine.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (21:29):
She turns us, she
turns us on to put her to sleep.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (21:35):
It's like the ocean
noise.
Which on the one hand no, it'sall just kind of I I don't know
how to take that.
I guess I'll say this.
Um a lot of people have troublesleeping.
Myself included, you included.
Yeah.
And maybe that could be ourniche.
(21:55):
Because we have a lo loyal wegrow an audience of people.
quote listeners who don't listento it but they get they they
rest well yeah welcome to thesoothing voices of mark and ryan
yeah that's i that's the firsttime i've heard anybody say
we're soothing yeah but i meanand i don't know how monotone
(22:18):
what how in the hell can you saythat we're monotone i bel I
entirely agree with you mark weare anything but no uh um you
know what i think it is becausei don't think we're monotone
either here's what i think i wastelling somebody this after you
had mentioned you hadn't read methe full review but you'd
mentioned something aboutmonotone i think what it is is
(22:40):
when you if you listen topodcasts which you don't but i'm
sure yeah you listen to or notyou watch youtube i'm sure
you've seen plenty of thingsthat are kind of like a podcast
but like these place I don'twant to call it buddy comedy but
like that genre where it's justlike a couple people just kind
of bullshitting uh right okayyeah I'm listening so there'd be
(23:02):
no way to know uh and you knowwhat I just realized too we're
out here outside yep not in thestudio and one of the things
that listeners know that we hadcomes up comically sometimes in
the studio we can't see eachother right and I'm just now
realizing we still can't becauseit's fucking dark it's dark and
we're both facing the samedirection again back to the
(23:28):
thing where I'm like if I'msaying something I'd be like you
know just a little are you stillthere but yeah okay what god
dang it what was I saying Markuh oh that's your turn this time
you figure it out yeah um ohyeah so this type of like
podcast right right yeah yeahyeah where I when you listen to
them the the people that do themare like so I don't want to say
(23:54):
artificially but like sort ofoverhyped you know they'll be
like be like hey everybodywelcome back to Set and Center
how you doing Mark you know whatI'm saying like that kind of
thing like they try to make itsound like it's a party they're
having a great time and likethat's cool that's fine.
Right um but like that soundslike a lot of work shit load of
(24:19):
work for me.
I mean Jesus Christ and I meanif we have some if we have some
angle with this insomniacdemographic okay you know what
follower's a follower yeah andyou know what that's actually
not bad because uh you wouldn'thave to deal with any like or
(24:40):
not much you know feedback orcriticism be like yeah we have
like a shit ton of listenerswhich we don't maybe someday and
then be like yeah we don't wedon't you know they don't have
anything to say about it.
SPEAKER_02 (24:50):
Yeah as far as
they're concerned it's great.
Yeah well they fall asleep anddon't know what the hell it was
about.
SPEAKER_01 (24:54):
Well no shit that's
what I'm saying Mark like what
what crit what criticism arethey as long as we get the first
like three minutes decent yeahthey're gonna be happy with it.
SPEAKER_02 (25:06):
Well we're gonna
have to go through and listen to
see if we have the first threeminutes decent of this one?
Of any of them.
SPEAKER_01 (25:12):
Yeah oh no I think
uh we have like the first three
seconds decent every time withthe music yeah yeah the intro
and the outro is good often itjust goes downhill from there.
Yeah it's like your initialswait mountain valley mountain
kind of yeah mountain valleymountain valley mountain valley
yeah I just whole bunch of themyeah um yeah and that you know I
(25:34):
I'll be honest because uh uhwell uh analytics and stuff
which we'll talk about that in asecond but there's all kind of
things and like in my head uhand again if y'all have been
listening since the beginning wesaid right out the gate we don't
know what the hell we're doingwe've never done this blah blah
blah and in my head it's like ifsomebody pushes a play button
it's like yay they're a followerand a subscriber whatever it's
(25:57):
so much more to it you probablyknew this already but like you
know a follower is not alistener is not you know
whatever and then you know somepeople hit play and listen for
30 seconds some people for fiveminutes you know right and the
number of people that listen tothe whole thing is like very low
compared to the number of peoplethat started and like so I can
see like I guess I can see therationale for like at least
(26:21):
right out the gate be like heywe get some fucking uh guess the
music like the DJ horns you knowbecause they want to get people
at the at the jump and my thingis you know again that's sounds
like a lot of work yeah it's toomuch work.
We're here yeah we're doing a Ithink a a pretty decent pretty
good podcast not for everybody.
SPEAKER_02 (26:44):
No I mean but
nothing's for everybody.
Yeah so yeah everybody that youknow we've we've talked to you
know friends and family andstuff they they really enjoy it
and they're always waiting forthe next episode to come out
yeah except for you know who'snot waiting for the next episode
to come out is the one personwho has been waiting eagerly for
(27:04):
the next episode to come out youknow I'm talking about oh yeah
the last the last one we did uhMr.
SPEAKER_01 (27:10):
Robbie yeah yeah um
as I told you he as soon as he
got off the phone with us hetexted me which was like five
minutes before we got donerecording and well what he said
was let me know when it'spublished which those of you
listen to it will know wealready answered that question
which is when it is publishedwhen it is so anyway I said okay
(27:37):
I'll let you know um I don'tknow when it's gonna be because
not that I had to explain to himbecause he knows how things work
but I had to explain it to him.
Yeah and everybody people hope Imean hopefully everybody pretty
much knows you know we're doingthis right now it's not like
you're listening to it an hourlater we we don't you know I was
gonna say we edit it which wereally just edit it in terms of
(27:59):
turning into a like a file toupload.
We really we don't do anyediting that's why sometimes the
show sucks you say we like Ihave any involvement with that.
SPEAKER_02 (28:10):
I just sit there and
you didn't have to well I'm just
trying to give you the credit ina roundabout way.
SPEAKER_01 (28:15):
It was yeah I mean
okay I'll take it um yeah I do
all the editing which again wedon't I'll say this we don't
ever cut we've never cut anycontent and we we um we have
made some cuts like maybe twoepisodes we actually did cut a
portion small portion out um andone of them was literally like
oh I I broke the board where'sthat other cable and it's just
(28:38):
eight minutes would be likeopening boxes and like God damn
it where's the manual for thisdamn thing yeah dead silence
eight minutes well I wouldn'tcall it dead silence I'd call it
you hear me in the background ohmotherfucker I thought I put her
here and then you're likeplaying a game on your phone or
whatever.
So yeah that's the only thingI'm really cut and that kind of
(28:59):
I got way off track there but soyeah you have to you have to
edit it to make it into anactual episode and then you have
we have to have lead time youknow because uh because of
editing and uploading like thisjust takes a little bit of time
and you know uh point being likewe have a plan here yeah we
(29:20):
record them a certain amount ofdays or weeks in advance and we
have at any given time um youknow we have we have episodes we
always have episodes done yeahand out there well not out there
but they're done they'reuploaded they're ready to
distribute before while we'rerecording one.
Yeah wow it really went off on atangent there so anyhoot.
SPEAKER_02 (29:42):
Yeah well there's
there's one other that we uh
that you edited also it'sbecause Rob was too damn
energetic for our podcast so wewe added you edited him out of
it and now he's upset that hehasn't been on it.
SPEAKER_01 (29:56):
Oh god I told him it
was because the audio dropped
out this is awkward now uh heyRob fast forward through that
last part yeah yeah if you justheard that Rob oh wait you can't
fast forward after the fact damnit anyway but no back to Rob
well actually Robbie and soanyway he's like and I had to
explain and once we got aschedule I told him that you
(30:17):
know the date and it was acouple weeks out be published
and he's like okay let I saidit'll be published on this date
and he's like okay let me knowon I said I just did he's like
no on that date let me know I'mlike what should I why I said
are you subscribed to it yeahI'm like okay it'll it'll be in
your Spotify feed or YouTubefeed whatever and he's like um
(30:38):
hold on pulls up his phone he'slike um no the last episode on
my feed I'm like it's notpublished now what I'm saying
what I'm saying is it'll pop upyou don't need me to tell you
he's like okay oh yeah he's likeokay I gotcha all right so just
let me know I'm like damn it andhe should know it's the one with
him because it's named threethree gay cowboys you wouldn't
(30:59):
think it'd be hard to find noespecially since he is the one
that wanted to call the podcastthree gay or two gay cowboys yes
yeah I know little shit I knowuh although I'll you know what
he said we called him out he'slike well it kind of makes sense
but uh no he yeah he he'sdirectly responsible for that
episode being called three gaycowboys uh anyway so it was as
(31:24):
we're recording this episode nowum at least uh three gay cowboys
came out this morning midnightyep and I was awake of course
and I sent him a screenshot Idrew a circle around three gay
cowboys just in case you didn'tfeel like oh we had to listen to
anything but the one with him uhand he never responded and so
well he not even not only neverresponded he didn't even ever
(31:46):
look at the message and so Iactually talked I talked to his
dad today happen happened totalk to him on the phone Rob for
about that but we got talkingabout it and he's like he's like
yeah he pretty much forgot aboutit until this morning he's like
oh wait that episode and uh yeahso he's working his way through
it uh Rob started it in the carwhile they're driving to school
and Robbie was kind of boredwith the first few minutes of it
(32:08):
because he wasn't on it soimagine that I know but yeah um
excuse me eager wait I don'tknow how we got there something
about eagerly waiting but yeahum thanks to the vodka queen for
the the feedback um we willdefinitely not listen to it yes
(32:31):
thank you yeah it has been heardyes and discarded yep although
oh heard acknowledged anddiscarded correct yeah had wait
was heard understood heardunderstood acknowledged and
discarded be a marine go oohyeah uh but yeah I mean all
(32:58):
seriousness I appreciate I doappreciate the effort to put the
feedback in oh yeah yeah thoughwe completely disagree with it
and obviously it's bullshit andwe're never we're not gonna do
anything to address it yeah itwas it was nice yeah yeah
somebody to take the time youknow what maybe maybe the vodka
queen will actually listen tothis full episode instead of
taking her two or three days Idoubt it I do too she's probably
(33:22):
sleeping right now I don't knowhow far in we are in this
episode which I want to talkabout why in a second um but
yeah exactly she's probablyasleep um and I no I just wanted
to say because we did say we'rewell set and centered in the
wild or set and centered bareback if you will uh no we're not
well we'll kick it around um soi uh I think we should probably
(33:47):
elaborate a little bit on thatbecause I mean I'm sure I mean I
don't know to what extent thewind people can hear the wind or
the crickets or whatever but I Ithink I also think sometimes
people don't understand howthings work and so when we say
we're outside we are withoutmany of the things that we
(34:09):
usually have when we record.
Right.
We only have microphones rightnow.
Yep we don't have a board uhwhich is why I mentioned I don't
know how far in we are because Idon't I don't have a board with
a clock that's telling me thatuh we don't have uh good well we
don't have studio mics no we'reusing um these DJ DJI mics the
(34:33):
company that makes its dronesthese little mini lapel god as I
said lapel mic I don't want toget in the weeds on that again
but no these lapel mics whichthey're very good we've tested
them before we've never usedthem for an actual episode but
so they're very good but wedon't have our studio mics.
Right uh we all and then wedon't have um headphones.
(34:55):
Oh that's true I'm or well cansas they call them in the
business.
We don't have our cans.
Uh you just gonna leave that I'mtrying to uh yeah I'm just gonna
leave it.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (35:09):
Kind of disappointed
on okay but you know they call
them cans right no uh uh reallyno I thought when when we say
we're done with an episode weput it in the can I don't know
that they called headphonescans.
SPEAKER_01 (35:19):
Oh jeez that's no
that's a different can.
Well that's just the the can.
I'm talking about cans.
Uh-uh you know because they werelike big and bulk they go over
your ears like a set of cans.
SPEAKER_02 (35:30):
You never heard that
no I'm sure you've heard of the
sh the term set of cans beforewell yeah but it was in a
different setting yes this thisgoes right along with the toque
or whatever the hell it was itno not whatever it was the a
toque um no no no uh no you'retalking about the can which is
(35:50):
when we have episodes done andand ready to go that they're in
the can.
SPEAKER_01 (35:53):
Right uh but no
headphones cans we we don't have
them and people are probablylike okay does that really
matter it does because sincewe've been doing this not for
very long um you need to be ableto hear how you sell it yourself
sound how the other pu personsounds um and right now we have
no idea how this sounds no clueit could be fucking terrible you
(36:19):
could just probably only hearthe crickets not us.
Which that would work out greatfor the vodka queen.
Yeah crickets are I'm sure veryseasonable crickets and wind put
you to sleep.
Yes yes but um and the reason Ibring that up is to say that um
as we're recording an episode wetypically in real time have a
(36:41):
feel for how it's sounding andhow the levels are right now we
don't so if we do more uhbareback episodes then I'm just
gonna I'm not gonna say I'mgoing with it just kind of stuck
in my well Jesus Christ remindsme when you gave me that
telescope and like I was itcan't you gave it to me in the
(37:04):
like the shipping box right?
Oh the tripod yeah yeah yeahyeah yeah tripod thank you and I
was like flipping around lookingat I'm like huh where'd this
come from and you're like yousaid it didn't come from Mexico
and I was like oh I haven't hadthat in a while you're like what
it's like come from Mexico takethat how you want it take that
(37:24):
how you want it um so what I'msaying is that whereas we
typically know in in real timeroughly how it's sounding or at
least if it's not sounding rightuh we don't know so um you we'd
appreciate all your feedback onthe bearback um and whether this
is a well lubed episode or ifit's getting kind of stuck um or
(37:47):
you're hearing some weird sortof squish grinding noises
whatever squeak noises in thebackground and all the things
that can go wrong with abearback.
I would not know okay you haveyou have kids so I mean it's
there oh yeah so uh and and thenyou know if it's if the audio's
(38:10):
good and stuff uh maybe we'll domore of them.
Well yeah it I like beingoutside better.
SPEAKER_02 (38:16):
That's it's
different.
Yeah it's weird.
Especially considering it'sprobably probably about one
o'clock in the morning and we'reon our time uh what's different
about that?
Huh?
Oh because it's later than weusually do it.
Yeah well no that we don't getmoving until the early
afternoon.
SPEAKER_01 (38:36):
True yeah I know
that um well and and and it's
different too in that uh when werecord um we plan to record
right and we sit down and we doit in the studio.
Um and this uh we had planned toto record an episode in the wild
(38:58):
but we didn't plan to do ittonight and so it's very
impromptu.
Yeah well the clouds rolled inso we had to do something.
Yeah which they're still they'regetting you know I'm actually a
little pissed if I'm honestbecause they've been rolling in
and out and intermittently andbecause we decided to record a
podcast episode uh we've missedout on some good windows in the
(39:20):
clouds.
Yeah which I'll tell you whatthat's work ethic buddy we're
sitting here working right nowwe didn't just be like oh we
want we can play with ourtelescopes now we're committed
to our listeners who are asleepright now.
Yeah to do a quality show WakeUp well the neighbor probably
