Think back to those Halloween nights of your childhood - wandering around, bags brimming with candy, every house decked out with spooky decorations. Do you remember the thrill? We do, and in this chat, we rewind to those good old days, even sharing some tales of how our office once brought Halloween to life with missing children posters and eerie red balloons. We also touch on how Halloween has evolved, with trunk-or-treats taking the center stage, and how the aftermath of a flood in Macroberts influenced the trick-or-treating routes.
Ever wondered what could be spookier than Halloween? How about the holiday season with all its chaos and the blackout? Join us as we navigate through the festive season, discussing the pros and cons of holiday timings in the workplace, and sharing some hilarious anecdotes from the home front. We further delve into the differences between action and horror movies, putting some iconic films under the microscope, and reflecting on the importance of a supportive employer during these hectic times.
Thrust into the final act of our chat, we don our philosopher's hats to discuss gift-giving during the holidays, work-life balance, and why dining room tables seem to be a thing of the past. We open up on therapy, childhood trauma, and the role of family time during the holidays. Rounding up, we share our thoughts on listener feedback, the critical part patron support plays, and we give you a sneak peek into some exciting upcoming projects. So, join us on this fun-filled journey, and let's share a few laughs along the way.

Ryno (01:12):
Like red ribbon week is cool, but where I kind of sit
like back in a room, closet inthe back corner building.
I never know what's going on,until the day I get there.
Dusty (01:19):
And you never stop working?
Ryno (01:20):

I mean we had a pumpkin carving contest and I didn't

It called like a pumpkin painting or pumping caught,
pumpkin carving, I don't know.
It feels like, uh, thisHalloween like got here so quick
.
Ryno (02:03):
I'm off of Halloween this year, so I mean like I'm
enjoying everything, like I knowit sounds so stupid because,
like my other ventures on theside, yeah, I was like, well,
that's the most opposite thingever.
But here's the reason why I sayit is where I live.
Part of the reason that Iliterally have so much joy about
where I live is because it's atrick or treat hotspot.
Oh yeah, and since the recoveryfrom the flood and everything
(02:26):
took out a bridge, it was like90 years old, that sucks.
It cut off the main capturepoint where people walk into our
freaking neighborhood.
Dusty (02:33):
Do you hear that door creaking in the background?
That was awesome.
That worked out great.
Ryno (02:36):
Halloween.
I love it, but I don't have any.
I'm not going to have anytraffic this year, like we
didn't even put it in the garage.
Dusty (02:41):
That makes me sad because , like where you move to and
where my aunt lived my wholelife, it's where we always trick
or treated and it was awesomeall the way up at Holler and
there's like a famous, like he'sbeen on the news, a bunch of
stuff, like the guy who does theheadless horseman.
That's passed on to a couple ofdifferent people and they've.
There's always a headlesshorseman in Macroberts.
(03:03):
Who was it?
Ryno (03:05):
It was.
Dusty (03:06):
Winston originally.
Winston originally.
Ryno (03:10):
That was what was always so much fun.
Part of it was like the where'swaddle of the neighborhoods,
like we've got to find whereverthe horsemen.
The horsemen, yeah, because thekids love that every year, but
now one of the main trailsthat's not on a main highway
where he would you know, travel.
Dusty (03:26):
Context also.
It's literally an awesomeheadless horseman Outfit and
then an actual horse Like he's.
They're on an actual horse.
Ryno (03:36):
It's very cool Like you hear it like trotting up the
neighborhood and like it almostkind of it's creepy.
Yeah, it's creepy, freakingawesome.
Well, kids don't trick or treatit, not anymore.
Dusty (03:45):
Either right.
Like it's like everything'sfrigging, Everything's like safe
night and shit, and I was likeyo yeah, what he was talking
about before this.
Ryno (03:53):
There's been like 655 freaking trunk or treats.
Is that an?
Dusty (03:57):
actual problem is like I hate trunk treats.
No, like poison in your like.
What is?
What is the reason?
I don't know what the reason isbehind safe nights.
I don't know if it's just likegoing to people's houses.
It's bad, there's no problem.
Everybody here wants trick ortreat.
You're so bad we're not goingto have duct your children.
And there's no drugs in.
(04:19):
I promise pot heads Don't puttheir drugs in your kids.
There is no marijuana in yourkids bag.
We don't give it up, not we.
Ryno (04:34):
I heard ownership there, sir.
But what you just said I wantto disagree with, not the weed
part, but that we want triggertreaters part used to growing up
in this area and we're going tosounds like such fucking
boomers, but back in my day,back in my day every single
house was decorated.
Every single house had someoneon the stoop ready to go and not
(04:56):
candy.
Now it's about every fourth.
That's just for triggertreating.
Now it's about every 11th forsomeone that's decorated man
other side of that take.
Dusty (05:08):
I think it's cause we we're so damn wore out Cause
everybody works, used to.
It was like you know, likethere was one person in the
household that worked and it wasyou know like nine to five jobs
and stuff.
I don't know.
Maybe that's just all bullshit,maybe we don't care, but I
don't know.
If people are just like whenwould it's so busy?
We're so busy all the time.
Ryno (05:29):
I was on my way home last night at nine o'clock, coming
through downtown neon, and I sawfucking Christmas decorations.
No, fuck that, Get off that'scrazy Drive down to the gas
station.
No, come back up this way thereis literal up on the hillside.
Dusty (05:43):
You cannot put.
Christmas decorations up till.
Ryno (05:45):
Thanksgiving.
Back up behind the quillingsthere is legit Christmas, like
full, not just like some icicle.

Get up lights all over thewhole entire York.
Ke (05:55):
So I should corner them.
Ryno (05:56):
They're going to tomorrow night.
I'm gonna corner Somebody willcool.
Dusty (05:59):
There's no way that you're allowed to have Christmas
lights and they're not gonnaget toilet papered.
We're gonna toilet paper those.
We're fucking.
I think everybody needs to hitit.
Should I think about somebody'saddress?
I feel like I don't know ifanybody's do the same thing.
Ryno (06:11):
I don't think we have that type of reach.
Dusty (06:13):
But no, I think we have enough reach you kidding.
Our listeners definitely wantto paper people.
Ryno (06:18):
I'm not.
Yeah, the question is are allthem close enough to this set of
household?
Dusty (06:23):
No, they might have a solid bill.
They might, if it meanssomething.
Ryno (06:26):
I know Jimmy Brown would hit it yeah, but Jimmy Brown
hits my damn house every year.
I think everybody I went tohigh school would do it
Literally every single year.
I go outside the day for likeHalloween morning and there's
shit laying everywhere and Ijust messaged me.
I'm like, is this you?
And I get like five molly facesyeah it's always Jimmy.
That's funny, it's a dream inBraille.
And they go around, they cornercrap of everybody, but
(06:48):
naturally they they go afterBraille and friends and school.
Yeah, our house gets hit everysingle year.
I like it.
I love you, jimmy.
Please hit us again tomorrow.
Dusty (06:57):
But yeah, uh, if we have a Halloween party it's just so
awkward.
Like Halloween parties are likeit's just weird, cuz you're the
bunch of people who you don'treally you know.
You know, but like there's alot of people there and you
don't necessarily know them, sothey expecting you to wear
costumes or dress up.
Ryno (07:15):
See, I don't, I don't prescribe to the whole workplace
costume contest because it'sjust I.
Dusty (07:22):
Don't know.
Well, I'm wearing a mask atwork Anyway.
Ryno (07:24):
Well, there's that and it's just.
I want to do something obscurethat none of my co-workers or
everyone know what it is, andit's just gonna be wasted time.
Dusty (07:31):
I'm gonna get pissed off and you get to ask them all the
time into I Would probably gosomebody's I've got one person
on my team.
Ryno (07:39):
Bravo, I love you.
That actually comes on side.
Oh, so there's like yeah, yeah,one in it, like it'd be fun,
like dress up and do like a teamthing or something like that.
But Well, one year, god, it wasfantastic, robert.
Oh no, if you've ever met RobertCarty, Sure have he was
redheaded which, robert Odds ofyou listening this or slim to
(08:02):
none.
But when I say you're redheaded, I'm not making fun of you for
being a soulless ginger, but alittle bit, but a little bit.
But we were trying to come upwith like the ultimate theme for
a team, right, and this iscoming right off of the remake
of it.
Okay.
So he said guys, I got a wickedclown costume at home.
(08:23):
So he went, done that.
Someone got like his home tourmakeups hit up.
We took this, we have it.
It was 10 seats on each side ofa box on the old brazen side of
size.
Ke (08:35):
Uh-huh.
Ryno (08:37):
We took in, retrofitted that box that I said in and
turned it into a manhole, setthe whole entire roll up, the
whole entire row had the redballoons and stuff that at the
end of the row on the wall.
Me and Jackie and a coupleothers on my team took the
actual Missing children postersfrom Derry Main, from the actual
remake of the movie oh shit,and then took all the teams
(08:59):
pictures and put them on theflyers and hung them on the wall
and had them like scattered allover the floor.
It coolest team thing we'veever done.
It was phenomenal and I meanRobert, like fantastic as
Pennywise.
Dusty (09:12):
What made me think about it and what really inspired me
for this episode was Vanessa hasbeen posting like all the count
down the Halloween yeah andshe's been posting like all the
work pictures and stuff and likeand she got the ones that I
recognize everybody in it, likewas there, edward?
Ryno (09:29):

Dusty (09:48):

That was fun, but I just um, IDon't look forward to this this
season, this holiday season.
There's so many things when youwork in our line of work that
suck about the holidays.
Ryno (09:59):
Right, I do and I don't like.
Part of the reason that I lookforward to it traditionally is
the food.
Oh, yeah, yeah but like thatdoor opening and closings
cracking me up because it soundslike an old creepy door.
It's literally my chair and soyour chair.
It sounds like a door opening,it's your chair.
Dusty (10:20):
Yeah, I love it.
I'm gonna record that sound sowe can.
We can just have it on anepisode anyway.
We just use it all the time.
Ryno (10:27):
I gotta quit moving.
I gotta share this real quick,share it.
This cracked me up.
My wife message me earlier.
She said I like when you'regone late at night because I get
freaked out because we got amixture between Australian
Shepherd and I Suburban Husky itkeeps going in the back door
and looking outside into thedarkness and just barking,
barking, so it's tripping herout.
(10:47):
So they've decided to likeleave that part of the house and
go somewhere else where they'renot near that back door.
And they're in my son's bedroomfloor and she took my daughter,
took a whole entire containerof yellow BBs that goes into be,
just exploded them all over thecarpet.
Oopsie, this house that we livein like was built in like 1908
(11:08):
or 1912 or some shit, but atsome point in 60s they put like
brown Shag carpet in it.
I mean it's thick, it's liketwo inches.
Dusty (11:16):
Yeah, you cannot get that shit out of those BBs, or it's
a astro turf now.
Oh, it's bad.
Ryno (11:21):
She said the conversation between her kids tonight is
hilarious.
We're in here clean the ashesroom.
Neighbor said shoe, we've beenin here for like eight minutes.
I said you know, it's not evenan hour.
I Said there's a reallydramatic pause.
And the neighbor said you don'tknow how to tell time, do you?
Yeah, I don't either.
Dusty (11:42):

You know what shows great Kidssay the darkest things.
Ryno (11:53):
Oh, yeah, oh.

my children for.
Yes, you are 100%, I'm here forif you've not checked out, rans
tick tock, I think he's blownup man.
Ryno (12:13):
But I'm getting into a situation now.

Dusty (12:49):
I think all like big youtubers and stuff do that.
They all have, they all havebought since like shit, that's

So I think what they're doing and what I've seen is a
lot of them, as soon as they addyou, they'll like send you,
like the waving I, you know,okay, yeah, and what I think
they're trying to do is they'retrying to get me to Converse

followers to sell them.
Dusty (13:14):
Yep, yeah, that's clever.

Ke (15:09):
Ironic that she thinks you said.
Dusty (15:10):
Poe, oh so yeah um the holiday season.
What in the job in?
Ryno (15:18):
the jobs that we were good and bad of it.
Dusty (15:20):
Yeah, what do you like about?
Ryno (15:22):
I like, I said the food, like that's it.
So couple paid days off, couplepaid days off, which usually
work.
Oh, don't even get me startedthere.
Dusty (15:32):
Christmas day.
Ryno (15:33):
I'll get fired.
I'm not going down that road.
Um, a couple paid days off forsome employees, yeah, yeah, not
all.
For others, it's a hey, wouldyou like to take this day off?
Or uh, which, under the newownership that we have, it's
paid holiday for all.
Thank God, that's finally wherewe're at.
Dusty (15:52):
Yeah.
Ryno (15:53):
Traditionally and that was a hellscape.
So when I talk about food, poplooks in the workplace are
phenomenal, but, like atChristmas, we would always
operate underneath the skeletoncrew, like, say, the day after
Christmas or the day beforeChristmas Eve.
So we would all decide that'swhat we're gonna have our food
and stuff, and bring it in andlike when you turn around, look
(16:15):
and you've got at that point.
I think we had 16 people on theteam and nine of them are
bringing in pressure cookers.
Dusty (16:20):
Oh yeah rock pots.
Ryno (16:21):
You know you're in for a good day.
Dusty (16:23):
Well, that's what I'm gonna ask you this Do you eat
all of them?
Do you need to know the namesof who brought in the crock pots
?
Ryno (16:32):
Not with my team.
Yeah, because I've built up therelationship with these people
and I know you'd eat at theirhouse.
I've been eating at their house.
Dusty (16:39):
Yeah there's some shit.
There's other places where I'mlike.
Ryno (16:42):
All right, where this come from.
Dusty (16:43):
Yeah, I can look.
I can pretty much look at yourbowl and be like no, if I want
it like, I'm like hmm.
Ryno (16:49):
Not sure if I want to eat that or not.
Listen, if that freaking crockpot comes in and it's pinear
woman, you're eating it.
Dusty (16:55):
Oh yeah.
Ryno (16:56):
Also, there's a few things , all you know.
Dusty (16:59):
You put like corn salad or or like broccoli casserole, I
don't know that shit.
You know what do you?
Ryno (17:05):
eat.
I'm more into like we usuallydo, like soups and chilies.
Oh yeah that's where I'm yeah,shit, we do.
Dusty (17:12):
We do a salsa on Cinco de Mayo Every, and there's a guy
who makes really good salsa thatgood, I have something to bring
in like queso.
Ryno (17:20):
Yeah case that like that's where we're at.
Dusty (17:23):
Yeah, so we don't do finger foods, we do like instead
of Styrofoam plates atStyrofoam bowls.
So pros pros is food Yep rightone paid day off.
Ryno (17:34):
Maybe in my kids on your employer.
Dusty (17:36):
Yeah, um, I, do you have any more pros?
I don't have.
The only pros I have is thefood and my pros I'm not.
I don't take phone callsanymore, so so it depends on
your industry, right?
Ryno (17:54):
So Holiday season right now for a call-signer.
As you progress and get closertowards the end of year
especially for mine, where wedeal with accounting software
Volume drops, yeah, so youactually start hitting the dead
time of the year.
Accountants are taking theirtime off to prep for the
hellscape that's coming andwe're in two different worlds.
Dusty (18:15):
There because we're in retail.
Ryno (18:17):
Now that's where I was gonna say industry.
So you're getting ready to rampup in the yeah Now.
Prior to this, I was atGameStop.
Right now, this is the time ofyear where you want to off
yourself rich elistically.
Yeah, so GameStop for sure, likeit really depends on.
I mean, we would work FrickinBlack Friday so you would come
(18:38):
in Thanksgiving night this isthe one year that we didn't open
on Thanksgiving.
We were scheduled to be in from6 until 11 pm that night to set
up the marketing schematic foreverything, set up all the
tagging and everything, all thedisplays, everything for what
(18:59):
was gonna be on sound BlackFriday.
Then at that point you had acrew come in at midnight and
start cleaning and things likethat.
When we opened at 6, basicallythey started everything at 5
o'clock so you would be there.
I would end up going in at 6.
They said 6 to 10 or 11, you'rethere until 2.
Yeah and then you're back againat 7 and and then you're working
(19:20):
till about 6.
The fall of me.
It was miserable.
Dusty (19:24):
Yeah, that was the worst time my life.
That was the worst place I'veworked during the holidays, like
was uh, was was where youcurrently work.
But retail, even like when Iwork now, is it's crazy busy
from Black Friday on because wewe like compete with with Amazon
and best buy, you have to onBlack Friday and our prices are,
(19:46):
you know, right there with them.
So it's like, so it's wild, butmy, my win of the week we done
in a long time and I have a winof the week is a my birthday.
We get, like, our birthdayspaid off.
My birthday is on Black Friday,sure, which is normally a day
(20:08):
that we would have to work inthe in the retail world.
Ryno (20:10):
That is a win.
So that's one thing I loveabout my department.
My department is With tetheredto the executive branch of this
right, because you're up hereout.
But then also we're alsotethered.
The other escalations that myteam handles is sales Accounting
(20:30):
.
Sales on Black Friday is alwaysclosed.
Dusty (20:32):

Ryno (20:33):
The executive branch is skeleton crew.
So they usually say, if westaff you guys, you're not gonna
do anything right, there'snothing to do every year it's a
four-day weekend for us, that'shot regardless, that's something
to look forward to that's.
That's always a four-dayweekend and a lot of us, if we
have the PTO saved, you'll seesome of them take a week, take
(20:55):
three more days.
I've seen.
Dusty (20:58):
I think we've talked about this before.
You ever seen that thing whereyou can, uh, like the guy put
out the schedule where it's like, if you work nine, if you work
on Monday through Friday, jobthere's like you can take off
like certain days through theyear?
Have you seen that key?
You can take off certain daysthrough the year and get like
Get an extra, like two weeks offor something.
Yeah, like you can just stackthe holidays up Special at
(21:21):
Memorial Day and ship.
Ryno (21:22):
I mean you're still taking the same amount of time off.
It's just taking advantage ofit, taking advantage of getting
the days in a row I.
Dusty (21:29):
Well, that's my problem.
I can't take like three weeks.
I won't go back.
Ryno (21:33):
I had COVID for like ten days or something Friday off and
I don't even Go back tomorrow.
Dusty (21:39):
I had COVID for like ten days or something.
In that last day I was feelingreal good and I was like I don't
, I just don't think I'll goback to work.
Ryno (21:45):
What's so?
You're bringing this up, man,it's.
It's a bad part of it too.
It depends also in yourindustry.
With holidays, we're talkingabout maximizing time off.
Well, some industries that youwork in you're hitting that
point of the year now,especially in retail, where
they're like Blackout season.
Dusty (22:04):
That's and that's for you all it starts after Christmas
starts after Christmas.
Ryno (22:07):
For you all, I'd say it's probably already started.
Dusty (22:08):
It started.
It started last week, yep.
Ryno (22:10):
So now, unless I mean, even if it's an emergency and
you got a limb hanging, it don'tmatter they give me that time
off.
Dusty (22:16):
No, it's, it's super hard .
And if you take a day off, likeif you, if you call in, we
don't really do like a pointsystem, but if you call in, it's
, it's an occurrence, you knowwhat I mean Like it's not.
Ryno (22:26):
Most places deer in season , like they're in blackout
season.
They'll double down on it, yeah, and they won't be together.
Dusty (22:31):
We'll give you a few points and stuff like that
they're pretty cool aboutworking with you, that if
something you know, if there'ssomething coming up, that
surgery or you know somethingmajor, they'll do something.
But man don't ask for anythingbetween November 24th and
December 24th.
Ryno (22:43):
I don't ask for that and if you're going to, it needs to
be planned like I'll be back inApril two years ago Two years
ago.
Dusty (22:50):
Hey, I know we're gonna have blackout there this time
before when you, when you applyfor the job, let us know if
you're gonna need off a first,an early day in December, that's
miserable.
Dork rick.
And yeah, that's.
I think your blackouts worse.
Ryno (23:03):
Because we'll see.
For my team we don't have itright.
They try to do just the floorpeople there, and they try to do
front line, but they also tryto make it all encompassing.
So you're not setting a airquotation precedence but in all
reality, like not alldepartments are made the same
right.
So mine, the escalation volumeis gonna be the escalation
(23:24):
volume.
It doesn't matter if it's June,july, february, march, it
doesn't matter.
So for mine, like workforce islike all right, we're gonna
black out.
And I'm like, submitting PTOfor people that like you can't
do that, I'm like, yeah, I can,I'm clearing it, man, aren't you
?
Dusty (23:40):
glad you don't work at Marshall's during the holidays.
Can you imagine working atMarshall's on at Christmas?
They'll be the worst.
It's literally a big Christmasgift store.
I think people only buyChristmas gifts.
That, like all year round,everything there is like a
Christmas gift.
You know what I mean.
Ryno (23:56):
I've done Walmart.
No, walmart game stops theworst of them.
Dusty (24:00):
Oh, we woke up, siri Like oh my god.
Ryno (24:06):
No, we need.
We need to get ads right now.
I do not understand.
Do you need a scarf?
I want one moment.
Dusty (24:15):
That was.
That was one of the problems.
My mom and my dad, siri, helpmy mom, my dad, hostage.
I had to call in for work.
Ryno (24:22):
Yeah, it was sir.
She was the whole thing.
I was thinking of iRobot.
Dusty (24:27):
Man, I can't help but think, if I think about robots
at all, I think about this isjust like you.
Better get out of my way.
I'm going to church.
Ryno (24:35):
Robot just popped right into my mind.
Um, it's kind of another thingwe were talking about the other
day like creative Influences, Iguess adjacent Terminator.
I've seen some people thatconsider Terminator a horror
movie.
Dusty (24:53):
I can see that especially Terminator 2.
Though, like judgment day rightis like I see, judgment day to
me like I don't know, whichone's the one where they're
standing on the fence and likethe you know I'm talking about
when she's like hanging underthe fence and like and sees a
nuclear bomb like go off orwhatever and it like she sees
like the image of it melt in herwhen she's hanging on the fence
.
There's like a famous pictureof my brains is losing this
(25:16):
scene right now.
Oh, there's like a famous imageof of what's her name Connor.
Ryno (25:23):
Linda Hampton.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dusty (25:26):
Like hanging on to that fence and looking at kids on a
playground and like, and I thinkexplosion coming at her and
burning, I think yeah.
Ryno (25:33):
So like one's much more of a thriller aspect where it's
just a constant chase scene, andthat's where I was like.
Yeah, they were saying thatthat's what it kind of feels.
Dusty (25:41):
I could see it, though I'm the whole movies in kind of
gray scale to yeah, it's a grayscale, very dark, very ominous,
constant chase.
Ryno (25:48):
That's cool, like you take the Android out and you say
make it a zombie sure it's ahorror movie.
Yeah, but where?
But that's the thing is.
Like you're talking about T2judgment day.
I Compare them so like for meT1 is like alien we have a we
have.
Dusty (26:06):
We are so broad on this podcast.
I'm sorry guys.
No, don't be sorry.
It's just which, showing ourour capability to handle
Different topics, but you wouldhave said so.
Ryno (26:19):
Alien, the first alien is really also the same thing.
It's.
You know, it's kind of achasing.
Dusty (26:25):
It's ambiguous, for sure, aliens definitely a horror.
I mean, is it considered horror?
I think the first alien is.
Ryno (26:30):
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Dusty (26:31):
I can see that alien alien was not supposed to have a
sequel, right, because ISupposed to be staying alone.
Ryno (26:37):
I was supposed to be staying alone regionally, but
they done so well in the box.
It's vastly different than thesecond one.
I mean the second one'sfull-blown, like freakin space
marine, yeah.
So the second one to me is likewe were talking about this
today.
I consider it one the greatestaction movies all time that you.
They consider it sci-fi actionmore than horror.
Well, but I'm the same way withjudgment day.
Judgment day, I think, is moreof a sci-fi Action thriller.
(27:01):
Listen, that Italian beef iseating me alive.
Dusty (27:04):
Yo, I'm trying, so it's one of our it's one of our
things here and we really wewere expecting to have.
We were expecting to have acouple guests on Tonight that
were scheduled with a party toohard last night at their show
Season the witch party too hardlast night at their show and
we're able to make it tonight.
Right on team though season ofthe witch Halloween man and I
(27:28):
made Italian beef for him andand tell you beef sandwiches and
I made rino eat when he gothere.
Ryno (27:35):
It's so good.
Dusty (27:36):
Yeah.
Ryno (27:37):
Oh my god, it was so good, but now I'm paying for it.
But yeah, the blackout part Imean segue, it's just the
blackout that I think is theshittiest part of this time of
year.
Because, let's say, you do havea sick kid or something like
that, your work is not.
(27:57):
Unless you have a really goodemployer, they're not going to
well you know how I feel aboutthat, though.
Dusty (28:01):
It's like, no matter what , and that's what always said
like, and I said that when Iwould like, if something
happened, I had to call in.
I was pretty good about notcalling in in season, but that's
what I would like.
It's a cat, is that Milo?
It's got me Milo, jasper.
Ryno (28:21):
Jasper, jasper, yeah, he's .
Dusty (28:23):
Jasper tells everybody in the house that they didn't feed
him yet and he's all day long.
What was I?
Ryno (28:30):
I don't know that's sad feline disruption.
Yeah, the cats can see.
Ke (28:37):
That's why we pay you the big bucks.
Dusty (28:40):
That's why we pay you the big bucks.
If, if my family needs me athome or if something's going on
right, I'm gonna call in, likethe that day, like there's
nothing that you're gonna tellme, like you can't call in these
days.
Well, my mother is in thehospital.
(29:02):
No, you have to work.
Well, probably not gonna.
Ryno (29:06):
It's not just that too, and I just triggered a thought
what comes along with holidayseason?
Inclement weather.
Oh yeah, oh my god that's thememes of like people being like
buried underneath like 18 20feet of snow in Boston, or is
that?
Are you gonna make it in?
Dusty (29:23):
today.
So it's funny like me and Ryanhave like a bunch of we have a
bunch of ideas in any time forepisodes like piled up and and
stuff we talk about.
We talk about all the timeabout what we're gonna do on
episodes and what we're doingthe future and we're planning
for.
We never had a Christmasepisode, so I'm super excited
about Christmas episodes.
We've never had one of those.
That'll be awesome.
(29:44):
Thanksgiving episode is justgonna have a bunch of food on
the table.
We're just gonna eat the wholetime.
We're gonna eat on Mike.
It's gonna be awesome.
Ryno (29:50):
Yeah, I think that might be the first episode we just go
live.
Dusty (29:53):
I think we should eating food.
Yeah, bring back Tyler yeah.
Ryno (30:01):
Samar God bring back for Christmas.
And he's just sitting like this.
He's like this is not the ASMRI'm used to.
Dusty (30:07):
Yeah, no, I think.
I think we're gonna have aninclement weather episode
accidentally, right like we're.
Ryno (30:15):
We'll have we're gonna get pissed off about something
that's gonna set us off.
Dusty (30:22):
Neither of us are gonna be able to get to work because
the snow and I'm just gonna comeup and get you in the jeep and
you come down here and we'regonna do an episode.
I'll just wall, or we couldjust call, because we forget
that we can do that.
Ryno (30:32):
I actually I thought about that earlier like yeah.
I'm like I was telling you guyslike my wife gets spooked
sometimes.
I'm not here.
I'm like I don't know whysometimes, instead of us like
panicking out, you just don'tcall me yeah for me.
Dusty (30:44):
It's a Creative like I don't.
It's easier to get the creativejuices flowing if I'm hanging
out, it's easier for us tobounce off if we're hanging out,
but if we have an episodeplanned, that's not like totally
like tonight We've talked aboutWhatever which is which is fun,
what we prefer really anyway is.
Ryno (31:02):
I mean in theory, this is supposed to be a Halloween
episode.
We're just fucking when we havestructure.
Dusty (31:08):
When we have structure, we can just call yeah and guests
also we won't have.
There's a lot of guests thatwe're trying to have on and
initially when we first started,it was kind of like no coming.
You got to come in person and Ithink we're now From Virginia.
Ryno (31:21):
It was like 45, 50 minutes .
Dusty (31:22):
Let's there's hey, we feed you whale, though you show
up here, we feed you whale andwe hang out and we usually we
usually preach it.
We talk about the pre-show allthe time and you all think we're
we're just fluffing you on that.
But we really are hanging outfor like four hours before the
show.
Ryno (31:36):
It feels that way sometimes at least.
Dusty (31:37):
Yeah, yeah and after the show, sometimes for four hours
too.
Ryno (31:42):
That's why we don't get any sleep.
Well, it's more my favoritethings to do, sometimes just
watching you cut net it, likethere's been able to learn that
piece of it in that aspect.
Dusty (31:50):
That's fun.
Man been doing a lot of thatlately.
Hopefully I can quit my job oneday and just that would be
beautiful produce content.
That's why you feel the dreamitself.
Ryno (31:59):
I'm like man.
I'm only about 45 or, I guess,5,500 followers away from this
creator friend on tiktok.
Continue exploiting my childrenfor financial gain.
Dusty (32:09):
Well, I think you know that's.
That's what people do when theylike won't get their kids a
bunch of training, what theirkids be really good at sports.
Oh yeah, why do you want yourkid to be really good at sports?
You know what I mean.
Like you want them to succeed.
They're gonna succeed ifthey're not really good at
sports.
Ryno (32:24):
Well see, that's one thing I know.
Some parents are 100% like that.
Yeah really and someone's likea pageant.
Dusty (32:30):
Well, you want to live like, seriously, sometimes Like,
and it's mostly people who werenot successful.
Ryno (32:36):
I mean most parents.
I mean we want our kids to play.
It sounds like a real shitty,like I don't, but I mean To not
sit back and say that you're notsomewhat living vacaciously
through your children, throughyour glory days.
Dusty (32:49):
Well, yeah.
Ryno (32:49):
I mean it hits all of us.
Dusty (32:50):
That's just something that hits my son is a clone of
me.
Ryno (32:53):
Yeah, it just hits home.
It's like last night I wascracking up my son which if
you're not local, you wouldn'tunderstand this concept that we
went all the way to a citycalled Painsville To watch a
like a middle school footballgame.
So the football game was overand my big thing right now is
this, this horror content.
(33:14):
I was like God, 30 minutes fromhere is Fallsburg fear plagues.
Oh yeah, I'm like it's 20minutes away, dude, you want to
go to this haunted house nowhe's like, hey, let me see it, I
show the video.
He said, nope, we're going home.
I was like, come on, man.
He's like, nope, I was like itopens in an hour and 15 minutes.
We can get there and get lyingin out.
(33:35):
Nope, I ain't doing it, dad.
So then, when we got home, I'vebeen thinking about this all
day long and this is stillprobably going to be hitting a
TikTok video and I can't wait.
But my wife literally looked atme last night and she said
you're embarrassing me, I needyou to stop with the social
media?
Yeah, so it's part of it, but Ihad this concept for a video and
(33:56):
it's been stuck in my head forlike a week.
Asher has this Jack Sparrow.
Dusty (34:04):
Wee, oh yeah, he used to dress up shit.
Ryno (34:06):
He dressed up and acted throughout the house and stuff.
He's all about it.
So they ain't got the beads andstuff in now, but it's just a
really long wig.
He's used it to dress up asDave grow once and a couple
different things like that.
I Was like how fucking awesomewould it be To take this wig and
put it on him and paint hisface white, give him some black
(34:26):
eyeliner.
And my daughter's got thiswhite like freaking
Mercedes-Benz, like one of thosethe cars that you get in.
You hit the battery and itdrives.
Dusty (34:35):
I.
Ryno (34:36):
I really want to reenact dragula with my kid I.
Dusty (34:41):
Know what direction you were going there.
I was like really want toreenact dragula, you get him,
get him crawl out of an oldcrawler on old TV.
Ryno (34:47):
She said Ryan, you're not letting him ride in that car.
Dusty (34:51):
You're not videotaping him.
Ryno (34:52):
She's like this is beginning to get too much.
And he said yeah, dad, I thinkI get made fun of at school for
that.
I was like, okay, so let's go adifferent direction.
I'll ride in the car and we'lldo dragula and you videotape me.
And Brittany said I'm serious,you're embarrassing me.
I was like, well, I think it'dbe funny.
Ke (35:12):
We should have a job for him , paid lunch.
Dusty (35:15):
We should shout out our wives for putting up with this.
Oh my god, my wife doesn'tlisten to us at all.
Ryno (35:21):
Well, she's like you're just a.
Hearing your voice makes mecringe.
I'm like she's like.
No, I don't mean it that way, Ijust like I don't know what it
is like.
You talk differently and youhave this different tone of
voice and they, like I told youAll before they make fun.
Dusty (35:34):
Well, I don't think my wife listens to the show.
I don't expect them to know.
Like, why would they listen?
What are they?
What would they get out of it?
They're not our target audiencething out of it.
Good people are not our targetaudience, but they like and
share it yeah, so that's okay Ihave at least a little bit I
literally took my wife's diningroom it was like I'm gonna put
pocket study on here.
She was like I got this big.
I got this big nice table made,uh and.
(35:57):
And I was like you know it'd bereal good on it Bunch podcast
equipment, it's got all thesearms.
Ryno (36:02):
It's cuz she's hanging everywhere on it.
You're destroying this table.
Yeah, it's all my stuff in thisroom Like my computer's in here
.
It's like games and magic artsand, um, I've never known this
room to be anything but yourroom.
It's.
It is.
Dusty (36:15):
We don't eat in here.
Ryno (36:16):
No, nobody uses a dining room.
Dusty (36:18):
We just wanted a dining room table.
Who uses a dining?
Oh, can I ask a therapy session?
Really set therapy session?
Ke (36:24):
Yeah.
Dusty (36:25):
When we first got married I was like I just want to have
dinner at dining room tablebecause we never get done that
when I was growing up.
Really who did?
We gave Keisha free rain.
We gave her free rain to thesound board.
Ryno (36:43):
She said take your therapy .
Dusty (36:47):
Free right to the sound board.
That's why I'm afraid to uselike Better help, like the text
app, like where you take otherreally feel like your mom's
gonna hate this episode.
I've seen a thing the other daythat I shared with the recurrent
guest, eric.
Shout out, shout out, eric.
That because he talks about allthe time like he was in public
one time and he said something.
(37:09):
Like he was with his mom andsomebody, somebody said
something about how he was doing.
He was like I'm going totherapy or whatever.
It's like just the trauma.
You know, I'm trying to dealwith all the trauma, the, you
know, childhood Didn't have agreat time and and she was like
what do you mean?
And he was like what do youmean?
You don't know what it was like.
I think my mom knows.
Ryno (37:31):
I think it's fine, I think she knows there's a trauma,
tremendous upbringing like asheltered one a very normal kid.
Yeah, I mean I Think we had runthe meal up breakings, but
nobody uses a fucking diningroom table.
Nobody's a dining room table.
Once the television was created, the dining room table
(37:51):
Disappeared.
Dusty (37:52):
They literally made little tables for the TV.
Ryno (37:54):
Yeah, they created the 80s , like the little trays and
stuff.
Dusty (37:58):
Hey if there was a TV on the wall but for a while.
Wings proves if you put a TV onthe wall, people are sitting
down.
If you build it, they will come.
Ryno (38:05):
I think right here would be a problem.
We can be watching Sunday nightfootball.
Dusty (38:09):
There's a TV on the wall.
We'd be eating food like wejust be sitting here eating.
It happens.
Yeah, ryan's Chargers about towin a game, that's.
That doesn't happen a lot.
Ryno (38:19):
See, I've not actually checked that school.
Dusty (38:20):
It's on in the living room, I think.
Ryno (38:21):
I'm you ain't walk in there.
Dusty (38:23):
I don't give a fuck what you do oh.
Ryno (38:25):
We won 30 to 13.
Dusty (38:28):
Nice Big win for the Chargers it was the Bears.
Ryno (38:31):
I wouldn't call that a big win.
The Bears are just trying tolose anyone.
I was really hoping we wouldlose, kind of upset that it
didn't happen because they weregonna fire our coach and we did.
Dusty (38:39):
But here we are so Christmas parties though, do you
do?
Do you guys do like a gifts Mmm?
Ryno (38:54):
are you for or against it?
I'm against it.
Yeah, I think it createsproblems.
Dusty (38:58):
I think it creates issues .
I always do because, Unlessit's gag shit, then it's still
gonna cause problems.
Ryno (39:05):
It feels like well they call it the Santa.
What Santa not secret.
Dusty (39:09):
Secret.
Ryno (39:09):
Santa dirty Santa like if you do something like dirty
Santa or something like that orwhatever.
The multiple different play onwords they have for that.
I think that's fine.
Like you say, right, there'slike a $20 limit.
Everybody buy that, or a gaggift or something like that,
that's cool.
But if you don't put parameterson it.
I've seen it get bad.
(39:29):
I've seen people get like 30and $40 gift cards and someone
get a pair of socks.
Dusty (39:35):
Oh for sure, like it's just, we had one where it had to
be something you made.
Ryno (39:41):
See, I like that, I like that concept Um so I pooped in a
bag.
Dusty (39:45):
I.
Ryno (39:46):
Like that too, made this my biggest.
Dusty (39:54):
We talked about poop at all.
We've not talked about poop ina while, charlie.
We have not talked about poopin a while.
Ryno (40:01):
We have not.
Ke (40:06):
It's great he's gonna get there.
Ryno (40:08):
I'm sorry, brown bag shit, I wouldn't prepare for that.
But yeah, we do secrets, santa.
What if somebody made shit?
Dusty (40:18):
It'd be awesome.
Please ship us a shit.
Ryno (40:19):
Dick demon it just shipped out the freaking tile that it
was on in the bathroom, broughtit in and slated down.
Dusty (40:24):
I wonder if Charlie will draw us a shit dick demon like a
shit dick demon logo.
Make a shit dick demon ornament.
Ryno (40:31):
I kind of want to get a tattoo.
Dusty (40:34):
I don't think that'd be great, like I mean it'd be
really great, but also it'd belike what's like.
I was showing you somethingtalking about your wife just now
.
Ryno (40:41):
Yeah, completely different .
But like I don't know if yousaw this a minute ago, okay, so
my daughter loves to color in mytattoo, the one tattoo I have I
would love to get like afreaking color book of Of like
Disney, something I don't care.
Oh, all the time sit therebecause he is the most relaxing
thing in the world.
Dusty (40:59):
She's also not gonna be that age-favorite, I just gonna
have don't care.
You're just gonna be goingaround asking kids to color your
arm.
Ryno (41:04):
I'm gonna have green babies at some point.
Dusty (41:07):
That's both of you.
Do you think you'll live thatlong?
Sorry, I know you hadn't beensuper anxious the whole time
you've been here.
I'm not.
Ryno (41:20):
I think it's time to wrap can you everyone home.
Dusty (41:22):
Can we shut this down, oh man.
Ke (41:26):
So something you guys have talked about Halloween and
Christmas, just holiday.
Something on this new job thatI've heard a lot from some
people is that they hate whenHalloween approaches, because
you've got Halloween at the endof October, thanksgiving at the
end of November and Christmas atthe end of December.
They're like, and by the timeJanuary runs around, we're just
(41:46):
depressed and broke season.
Ryno (41:48):
I'm sad it's a real thing.
Dusty (41:50):
It's no, you seasonal depression because you're
spending all your damn money onstuff your kids don't need.
And you know I've got this isfor a Christmas episode, but I'm
just gonna say it right, we buytoo many gifts for too many
people.
Why would buy gifts foreverybody?

But I'll probably get somethingfor buddy at this table, just
cuz I mean the whole crew isgonna get shit.
(42:10):
I mean, like you know how weare, but like man, everybody
buys for something you to buyfor so many people.
Now I got you that to buy formy brother's wife, especially
when he has a new one so often,right, and who the hell can keep
up with how many kids he hasAll ten of them a gift like at
one point.
He don't even talk to him my momhas four sisters.
Ryno (42:32):
There's five girls and at one point they bought for all
the nieces and nephews.
Ke (42:35):
It's crazy.
Ryno (42:37):
Then it grew into great nieces and nephews and shit and
just keep going like guys.
This is not sustainable.
It's like like he brings it upNothing.
It brings it up a terrificpoint Because it does directly
correlate to work, because wewere talking about we're going

That was the first time in forever that he's been up
here on the table.
Yeah, I can't help but say um,I've got a lot better about it.
Why I'm so sensitive about that?
Ryno (00:24):
It's just me like having to observe calls and
interactions and the calls here.
Dusty (00:28):
I hear um and it's like well, and it's funny because I

Dusty (00:39):
That's what I'm here for Amazing coaching.
Holidays where it's Halloween.
Ryno (00:45):
How much better than it would be if that cat was black
when it jumped up here.
Dusty (00:50):
Well, it's equal opportunity employer.
It's a white cat.
Ryno (00:53):
It happens.
Dusty (00:55):
That was too much.
Yeah, check out that.
So, um Halloween, we have aHalloween party at work this
week, do you?
Ryno (01:06):
So for the whole entire month of October we've had like
this counter.
We have themed stuff.
Dusty (01:12):
Yeah.
Ryno (01:12):
Like red ribbon week is cool, but where I kind of sit
like back in a room, closet inthe back corner building.
I never know what's going on,until the day I get there.
Dusty (01:19):
And you never stop working?
Ryno (01:20):
probably so there's probably some type of um.
I don't know.
I guess cost him a shenanigansthis week, but I've not seen
anything.
Dusty (01:28):
I mean we had a pumpkin carving contest and I didn't
know we had one.
Ryno (01:33):
We did.
Actually, we had the pumpkinsand stuff out on Thursday and I
just walked up and I was like,oh, there's pumpkins.
There were had no idea.
Dusty (01:39):
They were like so it's, our department wins the pumpkin.
And I was like, oh and nobodycarves them anymore.
Ryno (01:45):
Everybody just paying some .
Dusty (01:46):
Oh yeah, oh no, we they carved, that's all right.
Ryno (01:49):
Like I think we had like one, maybe two that was actually
carved, but there's only likesix entries.
Dusty (01:53):
It called like a pumpkin painting or pumping caught,
pumpkin carving, I don't know.
It feels like, uh, thisHalloween like got here so quick
.
Ryno (02:03):
I'm off of Halloween this year, so I mean like I'm
enjoying everything, like I knowit sounds so stupid because,
like my other ventures on theside, yeah, I was like, well,
that's the most opposite thingever.
But here's the reason why I sayit is where I live.
Part of the reason that Iliterally have so much joy about
where I live is because it's atrick or treat hotspot.
Oh yeah, and since the recoveryfrom the flood and everything
(02:26):
took out a bridge, it was like90 years old, that sucks.
It cut off the main capturepoint where people walk into our
freaking neighborhood.
Dusty (02:33):
Do you hear that door creaking in the background?
That was awesome.
That worked out great.
Ryno (02:36):
Halloween.
I love it, but I don't have any.
I'm not going to have anytraffic this year, like we
didn't even put it in the garage.
Dusty (02:41):
That makes me sad because , like where you move to and
where my aunt lived my wholelife, it's where we always trick
or treated and it was awesomeall the way up at Holler and
there's like a famous, like he'sbeen on the news, a bunch of
stuff, like the guy who does theheadless horseman.
That's passed on to a couple ofdifferent people and they've.
There's always a headlesshorseman in Macroberts.
(03:03):
Who was it?
Ryno (03:05):
It was.
Dusty (03:06):
Winston originally.
Winston originally.
Ryno (03:10):
That was what was always so much fun.
Part of it was like the where'swaddle of the neighborhoods,
like we've got to find whereverthe horsemen.
The horsemen, yeah, because thekids love that every year, but
now one of the main trailsthat's not on a main highway
where he would you know, travel.
Dusty (03:26):
Context also.
It's literally an awesomeheadless horseman Outfit and
then an actual horse Like he's.
They're on an actual horse.
Ryno (03:36):
It's very cool Like you hear it like trotting up the
neighborhood and like it almostkind of it's creepy.
Yeah, it's creepy, freakingawesome.
Well, kids don't trick or treatit, not anymore.
Dusty (03:45):
Either right.
Like it's like everything'sfrigging, Everything's like safe
night and shit, and I was likeyo yeah, what he was talking
about before this.
Ryno (03:53):
There's been like 655 freaking trunk or treats.
Is that an?
Dusty (03:57):
actual problem is like I hate trunk treats.
No, like poison in your like.
What is?
What is the reason?
I don't know what the reason isbehind safe nights.
I don't know if it's just likegoing to people's houses.
It's bad, there's no problem.
Everybody here wants trick ortreat.
You're so bad we're not goingto have duct your children.
And there's no drugs in.
(04:19):
I promise pot heads Don't puttheir drugs in your kids.
There is no marijuana in yourkids bag.
We don't give it up, not we.
Ryno (04:34):
I heard ownership there, sir.
But what you just said I wantto disagree with, not the weed
part, but that we want triggertreaters part used to growing up
in this area and we're going tosounds like such fucking
boomers, but back in my day,back in my day every single
house was decorated.
Every single house had someoneon the stoop ready to go and not
(04:56):
candy.
Now it's about every fourth.
That's just for triggertreating.
Now it's about every 11th forsomeone that's decorated man
other side of that take.
Dusty (05:08):
I think it's cause we we're so damn wore out Cause
everybody works, used to.
It was like you know, likethere was one person in the
household that worked and it wasyou know like nine to five jobs
and stuff.
I don't know.
Maybe that's just all bullshit,maybe we don't care, but I
don't know.
If people are just like whenwould it's so busy?
We're so busy all the time.
Ryno (05:29):
I was on my way home last night at nine o'clock, coming
through downtown neon, and I sawfucking Christmas decorations.
No, fuck that, Get off that'scrazy Drive down to the gas
station.
No, come back up this way thereis literal up on the hillside.
Dusty (05:43):
You cannot put.
Christmas decorations up till.
Ryno (05:45):
Thanksgiving.
Back up behind the quillingsthere is legit Christmas, like
full, not just like some icicle.
Lights on like an awning of ahouse, full blown.
Get up lights all over thewhole entire York.
Ke (05:55):
So I should corner them.
Ryno (05:56):
They're going to tomorrow night.
I'm gonna corner Somebody willcool.
Dusty (05:59):
There's no way that you're allowed to have Christmas
lights and they're not gonnaget toilet papered.
We're gonna toilet paper those.
We're fucking.
I think everybody needs to hitit.
Should I think about somebody'saddress?
I feel like I don't know ifanybody's do the same thing.
Ryno (06:11):
I don't think we have that type of reach.
Dusty (06:13):
But no, I think we have enough reach you kidding.
Our listeners definitely wantto paper people.
Ryno (06:18):
I'm not.
Yeah, the question is are allthem close enough to this set of
household?
Dusty (06:23):
No, they might have a solid bill.
They might, if it meanssomething.
Ryno (06:26):
I know Jimmy Brown would hit it yeah, but Jimmy Brown
hits my damn house every year.
I think everybody I went tohigh school would do it
Literally every single year.
I go outside the day for likeHalloween morning and there's
shit laying everywhere and Ijust messaged me.
I'm like, is this you?
And I get like five molly facesyeah it's always Jimmy.
That's funny, it's a dream inBraille.
And they go around, they cornercrap of everybody, but
(06:48):
naturally they they go afterBraille and friends and school.
Yeah, our house gets hit everysingle year.
I like it.
I love you, jimmy.
Please hit us again tomorrow.
Dusty (06:57):
But yeah, uh, if we have a Halloween party it's just so
awkward.
Like Halloween parties are likeit's just weird, cuz you're the
bunch of people who you don'treally you know.
You know, but like there's alot of people there and you
don't necessarily know them, sothey expecting you to wear
costumes or dress up.
Ryno (07:15):
See, I don't, I don't prescribe to the whole workplace
costume contest because it'sjust I.
Dusty (07:22):
Don't know.
Well, I'm wearing a mask atwork Anyway.
Ryno (07:24):
Well, there's that and it's just.
I want to do something obscurethat none of my co-workers or
everyone know what it is, andit's just gonna be wasted time.
Dusty (07:31):
I'm gonna get pissed off and you get to ask them all the
time into I Would probably gosomebody's I've got one person
on my team.
Ryno (07:39):
Bravo, I love you.
That actually comes on side.
Oh, so there's like yeah, yeah,one in it, like it'd be fun,
like dress up and do like a teamthing or something like that.
But Well, one year, god, it wasfantastic, robert.
Oh no, if you've ever met RobertCarty, Sure have he was
redheaded which, robert Odds ofyou listening this or slim to
(08:02):
none.
But when I say you're redheaded, I'm not making fun of you for
being a soulless ginger, but alittle bit, but a little bit.
But we were trying to come upwith like the ultimate theme for
a team, right, and this iscoming right off of the remake
of it.
Okay.
So he said guys, I got a wickedclown costume at home.
(08:23):
So he went, done that.
Someone got like his home tourmakeups hit up.
We took this, we have it.
It was 10 seats on each side ofa box on the old brazen side of
size.
Ke (08:35):
Uh-huh.
Ryno (08:37):
We took in, retrofitted that box that I said in and
turned it into a manhole, setthe whole entire roll up, the
whole entire row had the redballoons and stuff that at the
end of the row on the wall.
Me and Jackie and a coupleothers on my team took the
actual Missing children postersfrom Derry Main, from the actual
remake of the movie oh shit,and then took all the teams
(08:59):
pictures and put them on theflyers and hung them on the wall
and had them like scattered allover the floor.
It coolest team thing we'veever done.
It was phenomenal and I meanRobert, like fantastic as
Pennywise.
Dusty (09:12):
What made me think about it and what really inspired me
for this episode was Vanessa hasbeen posting like all the count
down the Halloween yeah andshe's been posting like all the
work pictures and stuff and likeand she got the ones that I
recognize everybody in it, likewas there, edward?
Ryno (09:29):
you looked fantastic, was I don't Look like King of Spades
or whatever.
Yeah, I'm the Alice andWonderland.
Dusty (09:36):
Yeah, the Queen of Spades .
Yet he put some work in.
Yeah, he did awesome.
Everybody looks.
Everybody looks great.
Everybody looked cool.
Ryno (09:43):
Yeah, everybody, look good , I'll recur and guess Edwards
and Jules.
I look great.
Dusty (09:48):
I was.
That was fun, but I just um, IDon't look forward to this this
season, this holiday season.
There's so many things when youwork in our line of work that
suck about the holidays.
Ryno (09:59):
Right, I do and I don't like.
Part of the reason that I lookforward to it traditionally is
the food.
Oh, yeah, yeah but like thatdoor opening and closings
cracking me up because it soundslike an old creepy door.
It's literally my chair and soyour chair.
It sounds like a door opening,it's your chair.
Dusty (10:20):
Yeah, I love it.
I'm gonna record that sound sowe can.
We can just have it on anepisode anyway.
We just use it all the time.
Ryno (10:27):
I gotta quit moving.
I gotta share this real quick,share it.
This cracked me up.
My wife message me earlier.
She said I like when you'regone late at night because I get
freaked out because we got amixture between Australian
Shepherd and I Suburban Husky itkeeps going in the back door
and looking outside into thedarkness and just barking,
barking, so it's tripping herout.
(10:47):
So they've decided to likeleave that part of the house and
go somewhere else where they'renot near that back door.
And they're in my son's bedroomfloor and she took my daughter,
took a whole entire containerof yellow BBs that goes into be,
just exploded them all over thecarpet.
Oopsie, this house that we livein like was built in like 1908
(11:08):
or 1912 or some shit, but atsome point in 60s they put like
brown Shag carpet in it.
I mean it's thick, it's liketwo inches.
Dusty (11:16):
Yeah, you cannot get that shit out of those BBs, or it's
a astro turf now.
Oh, it's bad.
Ryno (11:21):
She said the conversation between her kids tonight is
hilarious.
We're in here clean the ashesroom.
Neighbor said shoe, we've beenin here for like eight minutes.
I said you know, it's not evenan hour.
I Said there's a reallydramatic pause.
And the neighbor said you don'tknow how to tell time, do you?
Yeah, I don't either.
Dusty (11:42):
What the fuck.
I love that he said that's noteven an hour Shoe.
I've been here eight minutes.
You know what shows great Kidssay the darkest things.
Ryno (11:53):
Oh, yeah, oh.
Dusty (11:56):
I guess, I guess I can, I'm full-blown into exploiting
my children for.
Yes, you are 100%, I'm here forif you've not checked out, rans
tick tock, I think he's blownup man.
Ryno (12:13):
But I'm getting into a situation now.
We're like I'm gettingfollowers that I'm 99% positive
or bots, hey, and they're.
They're either comment likefive laughy faces or it's like

I'm just putting a heart oneveryone.
Dusty (12:44):
Well, I mean.
Ryno (12:48):

Dusty (12:49):
I think all like big youtubers and stuff do that.
They all have, they all havebought since like shit, that's
they always do.
Ryno (12:57):
So I think what they're doing and what I've seen is a
lot of them, as soon as they addyou, they'll like send you,
like the waving I, you know,okay, yeah, and what I think
they're trying to do is they'retrying to get me to Converse
back and then follow them aswell.
Yeah and they're boosting theseaccounts to get X amount of
followers to sell them.
Dusty (13:14):
Yep, yeah, that's clever.
Ryno (13:17):
That's a business model.
I mean that's a hundred percentof business.
Russian script alphabet.
Ke (13:22):

Dusty (14:47):

Also in relation to what you'reinto.
Ke (15:09):
Ironic that she thinks you said.
Dusty (15:10):
Poe, oh so yeah um the holiday season.
What in the job in?
Ryno (15:18):
the jobs that we were good and bad of it.
Dusty (15:20):
Yeah, what do you like about?
Ryno (15:22):
I like, I said the food, like that's it.
So couple paid days off, couplepaid days off, which usually
work.
Oh, don't even get me startedthere.
Dusty (15:32):
Christmas day.
Ryno (15:33):
I'll get fired.
I'm not going down that road.
Um, a couple paid days off forsome employees, yeah, yeah, not
all.
For others, it's a hey, wouldyou like to take this day off?
Or uh, which, under the newownership that we have, it's
paid holiday for all.
Thank God, that's finally wherewe're at.
Dusty (15:52):
Yeah.
Ryno (15:53):
Traditionally and that was a hellscape.
So when I talk about food, poplooks in the workplace are
phenomenal, but, like atChristmas, we would always
operate underneath the skeletoncrew, like, say, the day after
Christmas or the day beforeChristmas Eve.
So we would all decide that'swhat we're gonna have our food
and stuff, and bring it in andlike when you turn around, look
(16:15):
and you've got at that point.
I think we had 16 people on theteam and nine of them are
bringing in pressure cookers.
Dusty (16:20):
Oh yeah rock pots.
Ryno (16:21):
You know you're in for a good day.
Dusty (16:23):
Well, that's what I'm gonna ask you this Do you eat
all of them?
Do you need to know the namesof who brought in the crock pots
?
Ryno (16:32):
Not with my team.
Yeah, because I've built up therelationship with these people
and I know you'd eat at theirhouse.
I've been eating at their house.
Dusty (16:39):
Yeah there's some shit.
There's other places where I'mlike.
Ryno (16:42):
All right, where this come from.
Dusty (16:43):
Yeah, I can look.
I can pretty much look at yourbowl and be like no, if I want
it like, I'm like hmm.
Ryno (16:49):
Not sure if I want to eat that or not.
Listen, if that freaking crockpot comes in and it's pinear
woman, you're eating it.
Dusty (16:55):
Oh yeah.
Ryno (16:56):
Also, there's a few things , all you know.
Dusty (16:59):
You put like corn salad or or like broccoli casserole, I
don't know that shit.
You know what do you?
Ryno (17:05):
eat.
I'm more into like we usuallydo, like soups and chilies.
Oh yeah that's where I'm yeah,shit, we do.
Dusty (17:12):
We do a salsa on Cinco de Mayo Every, and there's a guy
who makes really good salsa thatgood, I have something to bring
in like queso.
Ryno (17:20):
Yeah case that like that's where we're at.
Dusty (17:23):
Yeah, so we don't do finger foods, we do like instead
of Styrofoam plates atStyrofoam bowls.
So pros pros is food Yep rightone paid day off.
Ryno (17:34):
Maybe in my kids on your employer.
Dusty (17:36):
Yeah, um, I, do you have any more pros?
I don't have.
The only pros I have is thefood and my pros I'm not.
I don't take phone callsanymore, so so it depends on
your industry, right?
Ryno (17:54):
So Holiday season right now for a call-signer.
As you progress and get closertowards the end of year
especially for mine, where wedeal with accounting software
Volume drops, yeah, so youactually start hitting the dead
time of the year.
Accountants are taking theirtime off to prep for the
hellscape that's coming andwe're in two different worlds.
Dusty (18:15):
There because we're in retail.
Ryno (18:17):
Now that's where I was gonna say industry.
So you're getting ready to rampup in the yeah Now.
Prior to this, I was atGameStop.
Right now, this is the time ofyear where you want to off
yourself rich elistically.
Yeah, so GameStop for sure, likeit really depends on.
I mean, we would work FrickinBlack Friday so you would come
(18:38):
in Thanksgiving night this isthe one year that we didn't open
on Thanksgiving.
We were scheduled to be in from6 until 11 pm that night to set
up the marketing schematic foreverything, set up all the
tagging and everything, all thedisplays, everything for what
(18:59):
was gonna be on sound BlackFriday.
Then at that point you had acrew come in at midnight and
start cleaning and things likethat.
When we opened at 6, basicallythey started everything at 5
o'clock so you would be there.
I would end up going in at 6.
They said 6 to 10 or 11, you'rethere until 2.
Yeah and then you're back againat 7 and and then you're working
(19:20):
till about 6.
The fall of me.
It was miserable.
Dusty (19:24):
Yeah, that was the worst time my life.
That was the worst place I'veworked during the holidays, like
was uh, was was where youcurrently work.
But retail, even like when Iwork now, is it's crazy busy
from Black Friday on because wewe like compete with with Amazon
and best buy, you have to onBlack Friday and our prices are,
(19:46):
you know, right there with them.
So it's like, so it's wild, butmy, my win of the week we done
in a long time and I have a winof the week is a my birthday.
We get, like, our birthdayspaid off.
My birthday is on Black Friday,sure, which is normally a day
(20:08):
that we would have to work inthe in the retail world.
Ryno (20:10):
That is a win.
So that's one thing I loveabout my department.
My department is With tetheredto the executive branch of this
right, because you're up hereout.
But then also we're alsotethered.
The other escalations that myteam handles is sales Accounting
(20:30):
.
Sales on Black Friday is alwaysclosed.
Dusty (20:32):
Yeah.
Ryno (20:33):
The executive branch is skeleton crew.
So they usually say, if westaff you guys, you're not gonna
do anything right, there'snothing to do every year it's a
four-day weekend for us, that'shot regardless, that's something
to look forward to that's.
That's always a four-dayweekend and a lot of us, if we
have the PTO saved, you'll seesome of them take a week, take
(20:55):
three more days.
I've seen.
Dusty (20:58):
I think we've talked about this before.
You ever seen that thing whereyou can, uh, like the guy put
out the schedule where it's like, if you work nine, if you work
on Monday through Friday, jobthere's like you can take off
like certain days through theyear?
Have you seen that key?
You can take off certain daysthrough the year and get like
Get an extra, like two weeks offor something.
Yeah, like you can just stackthe holidays up Special at
(21:21):
Memorial Day and ship.
Ryno (21:22):
I mean you're still taking the same amount of time off.
It's just taking advantage ofit, taking advantage of getting
the days in a row I.
Dusty (21:29):
Well, that's my problem.
I can't take like three weeks.
I won't go back.
Ryno (21:33):
I had COVID for like ten days or something Friday off and
I don't even Go back tomorrow.
Dusty (21:39):
I had COVID for like ten days or something.
In that last day I was feelingreal good and I was like I don't
, I just don't think I'll goback to work.
Ryno (21:45):
What's so?
You're bringing this up, man,it's.
It's a bad part of it too.
It depends also in yourindustry.
With holidays, we're talkingabout maximizing time off.
Well, some industries that youwork in you're hitting that
point of the year now,especially in retail, where
they're like Blackout season.
Dusty (22:04):
That's and that's for you all it starts after Christmas
starts after Christmas.
Ryno (22:07):
For you all, I'd say it's probably already started.
Dusty (22:08):
It started.
It started last week, yep.
Ryno (22:10):
So now, unless I mean, even if it's an emergency and
you got a limb hanging, it don'tmatter they give me that time
off.
Dusty (22:16):
No, it's, it's super hard .
And if you take a day off, likeif you, if you call in, we
don't really do like a pointsystem, but if you call in, it's
, it's an occurrence, you knowwhat I mean Like it's not.
Ryno (22:26):
Most places deer in season , like they're in blackout
season.
They'll double down on it, yeah, and they won't be together.
Dusty (22:31):
We'll give you a few points and stuff like that
they're pretty cool aboutworking with you, that if
something you know, if there'ssomething coming up, that
surgery or you know somethingmajor, they'll do something.
But man don't ask for anythingbetween November 24th and
December 24th.
Ryno (22:43):
I don't ask for that and if you're going to, it needs to
be planned like I'll be back inApril two years ago Two years
ago.
Dusty (22:50):
Hey, I know we're gonna have blackout there this time
before when you, when you applyfor the job, let us know if
you're gonna need off a first,an early day in December, that's
miserable.
Dork rick.
And yeah, that's.
I think your blackouts worse.
Ryno (23:03):
Because we'll see.
For my team we don't have itright.
They try to do just the floorpeople there, and they try to do
front line, but they also tryto make it all encompassing.
So you're not setting a airquotation precedence but in all
reality, like not alldepartments are made the same
right.
So mine, the escalation volumeis gonna be the escalation
(23:24):
volume.
It doesn't matter if it's June,july, february, march, it
doesn't matter.
So for mine, like workforce islike all right, we're gonna
black out.
And I'm like, submitting PTOfor people that like you can't
do that, I'm like, yeah, I can,I'm clearing it, man, aren't you
?
Dusty (23:40):
glad you don't work at Marshall's during the holidays.
Can you imagine working atMarshall's on at Christmas?
They'll be the worst.
It's literally a big Christmasgift store.
I think people only buyChristmas gifts.
That, like all year round,everything there is like a
Christmas gift.
You know what I mean.
Ryno (23:56):
I've done Walmart.
No, walmart game stops theworst of them.
Dusty (24:00):
Oh, we woke up, siri Like oh my god.
Ryno (24:06):
No, we need.
We need to get ads right now.
I do not understand.
Do you need a scarf?
I want one moment.
Dusty (24:15):
That was.
That was one of the problems.
My mom and my dad, siri, helpmy mom, my dad, hostage.
I had to call in for work.
Ryno (24:22):
Yeah, it was sir.
She was the whole thing.
I was thinking of iRobot.
Dusty (24:27):
Man, I can't help but think, if I think about robots
at all, I think about this isjust like you.
Better get out of my way.
I'm going to church.
Ryno (24:35):
Robot just popped right into my mind.
Um, it's kind of another thingwe were talking about the other
day like creative Influences, Iguess adjacent Terminator.
I've seen some people thatconsider Terminator a horror
movie.
Dusty (24:53):
I can see that especially Terminator 2.
Though, like judgment day rightis like I see, judgment day to
me like I don't know, whichone's the one where they're
standing on the fence and likethe you know I'm talking about
when she's like hanging underthe fence and like and sees a
nuclear bomb like go off orwhatever and it like she sees
like the image of it melt in herwhen she's hanging on the fence
.
There's like a famous pictureof my brains is losing this
(25:16):
scene right now.
Oh, there's like a famous imageof of what's her name Connor.
Ryno (25:23):
Linda Hampton.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dusty (25:26):
Like hanging on to that fence and looking at kids on a
playground and like, and I thinkexplosion coming at her and
burning, I think yeah.
Ryno (25:33):
So like one's much more of a thriller aspect where it's
just a constant chase scene, andthat's where I was like.
Yeah, they were saying thatthat's what it kind of feels.
Dusty (25:41):
I could see it, though I'm the whole movies in kind of
gray scale to yeah, it's a grayscale, very dark, very ominous,
constant chase.
Ryno (25:48):
That's cool, like you take the Android out and you say
make it a zombie sure it's ahorror movie.
Yeah, but where?
But that's the thing is.
Like you're talking about T2judgment day.
I Compare them so like for meT1 is like alien we have a we
have.
Dusty (26:06):
We are so broad on this podcast.
I'm sorry guys.
No, don't be sorry.
It's just which, showing ourour capability to handle
Different topics, but you wouldhave said so.
Ryno (26:19):
Alien, the first alien is really also the same thing.
It's.
You know, it's kind of achasing.
Dusty (26:25):
It's ambiguous, for sure, aliens definitely a horror.
I mean, is it considered horror?
I think the first alien is.
Ryno (26:30):
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Dusty (26:31):
I can see that alien alien was not supposed to have a
sequel, right, because ISupposed to be staying alone.
Ryno (26:37):
I was supposed to be staying alone regionally, but
they done so well in the box.
It's vastly different than thesecond one.
I mean the second one'sfull-blown, like freakin space
marine, yeah.
So the second one to me is likewe were talking about this
today.
I consider it one the greatestaction movies all time that you.
They consider it sci-fi actionmore than horror.
Well, but I'm the same way withjudgment day.
Judgment day, I think, is moreof a sci-fi Action thriller.
(27:01):
Listen, that Italian beef iseating me alive.
Dusty (27:04):
Yo, I'm trying, so it's one of our it's one of our
things here and we really wewere expecting to have.
We were expecting to have acouple guests on Tonight that
were scheduled with a party toohard last night at their show
Season the witch party too hardlast night at their show and
we're able to make it tonight.
Right on team though season ofthe witch Halloween man and I
(27:28):
made Italian beef for him andand tell you beef sandwiches and
I made rino eat when he gothere.
Ryno (27:35):
It's so good.
Dusty (27:36):
Yeah.
Ryno (27:37):
Oh my god, it was so good, but now I'm paying for it.
But yeah, the blackout part Imean segue, it's just the
blackout that I think is theshittiest part of this time of
year.
Because, let's say, you do havea sick kid or something like
that, your work is not.
(27:57):
Unless you have a really goodemployer, they're not going to
well you know how I feel aboutthat, though.
Dusty (28:01):
It's like, no matter what , and that's what always said
like, and I said that when Iwould like, if something
happened, I had to call in.
I was pretty good about notcalling in in season, but that's
what I would like.
It's a cat, is that Milo?
It's got me Milo, jasper.
Ryno (28:21):
Jasper, jasper, yeah, he's .
Dusty (28:23):
Jasper tells everybody in the house that they didn't feed
him yet and he's all day long.
What was I?
Ryno (28:30):
I don't know that's sad feline disruption.
Yeah, the cats can see.
Ke (28:37):
That's why we pay you the big bucks.
Dusty (28:40):
That's why we pay you the big bucks.
If, if my family needs me athome or if something's going on
right, I'm gonna call in, likethe that day, like there's
nothing that you're gonna tellme, like you can't call in these
days.
Well, my mother is in thehospital.
(29:02):
No, you have to work.
Well, probably not gonna.
Ryno (29:06):
It's not just that too, and I just triggered a thought
what comes along with holidayseason?
Inclement weather.
Oh yeah, oh my god that's thememes of like people being like
buried underneath like 18 20feet of snow in Boston, or is
that?
Are you gonna make it in?
Dusty (29:23):
today.
So it's funny like me and Ryanhave like a bunch of we have a
bunch of ideas in any time forepisodes like piled up and and
stuff we talk about.
We talk about all the timeabout what we're gonna do on
episodes and what we're doingthe future and we're planning
for.
We never had a Christmasepisode, so I'm super excited
about Christmas episodes.
We've never had one of those.
That'll be awesome.
(29:44):
Thanksgiving episode is justgonna have a bunch of food on
the table.
We're just gonna eat the wholetime.
We're gonna eat on Mike.
It's gonna be awesome.
Ryno (29:50):
Yeah, I think that might be the first episode we just go
live.
Dusty (29:53):
I think we should eating food.
Yeah, bring back Tyler yeah.
Ryno (30:01):
Samar God bring back for Christmas.
And he's just sitting like this.
He's like this is not the ASMRI'm used to.
Dusty (30:07):
Yeah, no, I think.
I think we're gonna have aninclement weather episode
accidentally, right like we're.
Ryno (30:15):
We'll have we're gonna get pissed off about something
that's gonna set us off.
Dusty (30:22):
Neither of us are gonna be able to get to work because
the snow and I'm just gonna comeup and get you in the jeep and
you come down here and we'regonna do an episode.
I'll just wall, or we couldjust call, because we forget
that we can do that.
Ryno (30:32):
I actually I thought about that earlier like yeah.
I'm like I was telling you guyslike my wife gets spooked
sometimes.
I'm not here.
I'm like I don't know whysometimes, instead of us like
panicking out, you just don'tcall me yeah for me.
Dusty (30:44):
It's a Creative like I don't.
It's easier to get the creativejuices flowing if I'm hanging
out, it's easier for us tobounce off if we're hanging out,
but if we have an episodeplanned, that's not like totally
like tonight We've talked aboutWhatever which is which is fun,
what we prefer really anyway is.
Ryno (31:02):
I mean in theory, this is supposed to be a Halloween
episode.
We're just fucking when we havestructure.
Dusty (31:08):
When we have structure, we can just call yeah and guests
also we won't have.
There's a lot of guests thatwe're trying to have on and
initially when we first started,it was kind of like no coming.
You got to come in person and Ithink we're now From Virginia.
Ryno (31:21):
It was like 45, 50 minutes .
Dusty (31:22):
Let's there's hey, we feed you whale, though you show
up here, we feed you whale andwe hang out and we usually we
usually preach it.
We talk about the pre-show allthe time and you all think we're
we're just fluffing you on that.
But we really are hanging outfor like four hours before the
show.
Ryno (31:36):
It feels that way sometimes at least.
Dusty (31:37):
Yeah, yeah and after the show, sometimes for four hours
too.
Ryno (31:42):
That's why we don't get any sleep.
Well, it's more my favoritethings to do, sometimes just
watching you cut net it, likethere's been able to learn that
piece of it in that aspect.
Dusty (31:50):
That's fun.
Man been doing a lot of thatlately.
Hopefully I can quit my job oneday and just that would be
beautiful produce content.
That's why you feel the dreamitself.
Ryno (31:59):
I'm like man.
I'm only about 45 or, I guess,5,500 followers away from this
creator friend on tiktok.
Continue exploiting my childrenfor financial gain.
Dusty (32:09):
Well, I think you know that's.
That's what people do when theylike won't get their kids a
bunch of training, what theirkids be really good at sports.
Oh yeah, why do you want yourkid to be really good at sports?
You know what I mean.
Like you want them to succeed.
They're gonna succeed ifthey're not really good at
sports.
Ryno (32:24):
Well see, that's one thing I know.
Some parents are 100% like that.
Yeah really and someone's likea pageant.
Dusty (32:30):
Well, you want to live like, seriously, sometimes Like,
and it's mostly people who werenot successful.
Ryno (32:36):
I mean most parents.
I mean we want our kids to play.
It sounds like a real shitty,like I don't, but I mean To not
sit back and say that you're notsomewhat living vacaciously
through your children, throughyour glory days.
Dusty (32:49):
Well, yeah.
Ryno (32:49):
I mean it hits all of us.
Dusty (32:50):
That's just something that hits my son is a clone of
me.
Ryno (32:53):
Yeah, it just hits home.
It's like last night I wascracking up my son which if
you're not local, you wouldn'tunderstand this concept that we
went all the way to a citycalled Painsville To watch a
like a middle school footballgame.
So the football game was overand my big thing right now is
this, this horror content.
(33:14):
I was like God, 30 minutes fromhere is Fallsburg fear plagues.
Oh yeah, I'm like it's 20minutes away, dude, you want to
go to this haunted house nowhe's like, hey, let me see it, I
show the video.
He said, nope, we're going home.
I was like, come on, man.
He's like, nope, I was like itopens in an hour and 15 minutes.
We can get there and get lyingin out.
(33:35):
Nope, I ain't doing it, dad.
So then, when we got home, I'vebeen thinking about this all
day long and this is stillprobably going to be hitting a
TikTok video and I can't wait.
But my wife literally looked atme last night and she said
you're embarrassing me, I needyou to stop with the social
media?
Yeah, so it's part of it, but Ihad this concept for a video and
(33:56):
it's been stuck in my head forlike a week.
Asher has this Jack Sparrow.
Dusty (34:04):
Wee, oh yeah, he used to dress up shit.
Ryno (34:06):
He dressed up and acted throughout the house and stuff.
He's all about it.
So they ain't got the beads andstuff in now, but it's just a
really long wig.
He's used it to dress up asDave grow once and a couple
different things like that.
I Was like how fucking awesomewould it be To take this wig and
put it on him and paint hisface white, give him some black
(34:26):
eyeliner.
And my daughter's got thiswhite like freaking
Mercedes-Benz, like one of thosethe cars that you get in.
You hit the battery and itdrives.
Dusty (34:35):
I.
Ryno (34:36):
I really want to reenact dragula with my kid I.
Dusty (34:41):
Know what direction you were going there.
I was like really want toreenact dragula, you get him,
get him crawl out of an oldcrawler on old TV.
Ryno (34:47):
She said Ryan, you're not letting him ride in that car.
Dusty (34:51):
You're not videotaping him.
Ryno (34:52):
She's like this is beginning to get too much.
And he said yeah, dad, I thinkI get made fun of at school for
that.
I was like, okay, so let's go adifferent direction.
I'll ride in the car and we'lldo dragula and you videotape me.
And Brittany said I'm serious,you're embarrassing me.
I was like, well, I think it'dbe funny.
Ke (35:12):
We should have a job for him , paid lunch.
Dusty (35:15):
We should shout out our wives for putting up with this.
Oh my god, my wife doesn'tlisten to us at all.
Ryno (35:21):
Well, she's like you're just a.
Hearing your voice makes mecringe.
I'm like she's like.
No, I don't mean it that way, Ijust like I don't know what it
is like.
You talk differently and youhave this different tone of
voice and they, like I told youAll before they make fun.
Dusty (35:34):
Well, I don't think my wife listens to the show.
I don't expect them to know.
Like, why would they listen?
What are they?
What would they get out of it?
They're not our target audiencething out of it.
Good people are not our targetaudience, but they like and
share it yeah, so that's okay Ihave at least a little bit I
literally took my wife's diningroom it was like I'm gonna put
pocket study on here.
She was like I got this big.
I got this big nice table made,uh and.
(35:57):
And I was like you know it'd bereal good on it Bunch podcast
equipment, it's got all thesearms.
Ryno (36:02):
It's cuz she's hanging everywhere on it.
You're destroying this table.
Yeah, it's all my stuff in thisroom Like my computer's in here
.
It's like games and magic artsand, um, I've never known this
room to be anything but yourroom.
It's.
It is.
Dusty (36:15):
We don't eat in here.
Ryno (36:16):
No, nobody uses a dining room.
Dusty (36:18):
We just wanted a dining room table.
Who uses a dining?
Oh, can I ask a therapy session?
Really set therapy session?
Ke (36:24):
Yeah.
Dusty (36:25):
When we first got married I was like I just want to have
dinner at dining room tablebecause we never get done that
when I was growing up.
Really who did?
We gave Keisha free rain.
We gave her free rain to thesound board.
Ryno (36:43):
She said take your therapy .
Dusty (36:47):
Free right to the sound board.
That's why I'm afraid to uselike Better help, like the text
app, like where you take otherreally feel like your mom's
gonna hate this episode.
I've seen a thing the other daythat I shared with the recurrent
guest, eric.
Shout out, shout out, eric.
That because he talks about allthe time like he was in public
one time and he said something.
(37:09):
Like he was with his mom andsomebody, somebody said
something about how he was doing.
He was like I'm going totherapy or whatever.
It's like just the trauma.
You know, I'm trying to dealwith all the trauma, the, you
know, childhood Didn't have agreat time and and she was like
what do you mean?
And he was like what do youmean?
You don't know what it was like.
I think my mom knows.
Ryno (37:31):
I think it's fine, I think she knows there's a trauma,
tremendous upbringing like asheltered one a very normal kid.
Yeah, I mean I Think we had runthe meal up breakings, but
nobody uses a fucking diningroom table.
Nobody's a dining room table.
Once the television was created, the dining room table
(37:51):
Disappeared.
Dusty (37:52):
They literally made little tables for the TV.
Ryno (37:54):
Yeah, they created the 80s , like the little trays and
stuff.
Dusty (37:58):
Hey if there was a TV on the wall but for a while.
Wings proves if you put a TV onthe wall, people are sitting
down.
If you build it, they will come.
Ryno (38:05):
I think right here would be a problem.
We can be watching Sunday nightfootball.
Dusty (38:09):
There's a TV on the wall.
We'd be eating food like wejust be sitting here eating.
It happens.
Yeah, ryan's Chargers about towin a game, that's.
That doesn't happen a lot.
Ryno (38:19):
See, I've not actually checked that school.
Dusty (38:20):
It's on in the living room, I think.
Ryno (38:21):
I'm you ain't walk in there.
Dusty (38:23):
I don't give a fuck what you do oh.
Ryno (38:25):
We won 30 to 13.
Dusty (38:28):
Nice Big win for the Chargers it was the Bears.
Ryno (38:31):
I wouldn't call that a big win.
The Bears are just trying tolose anyone.
I was really hoping we wouldlose, kind of upset that it
didn't happen because they weregonna fire our coach and we did.
Dusty (38:39):
But here we are so Christmas parties though, do you
do?
Do you guys do like a gifts Mmm?
Ryno (38:54):
are you for or against it?
I'm against it.
Yeah, I think it createsproblems.
Dusty (38:58):
I think it creates issues .
I always do because, Unlessit's gag shit, then it's still
gonna cause problems.
Ryno (39:05):
It feels like well they call it the Santa.
What Santa not secret.
Dusty (39:09):
Secret.
Ryno (39:09):
Santa dirty Santa like if you do something like dirty
Santa or something like that orwhatever.
The multiple different play onwords they have for that.
I think that's fine.
Like you say, right, there'slike a $20 limit.
Everybody buy that, or a gaggift or something like that,
that's cool.
But if you don't put parameterson it.
I've seen it get bad.
(39:29):
I've seen people get like 30and $40 gift cards and someone

Christmas, just holiday.
Something on this new job thatI've heard a lot from some
people is that they hate whenHalloween approaches, because
you've got Halloween at the endof October, thanksgiving at the
end of November and Christmas atthe end of December.
They're like, and by the timeJanuary runs around, we're just
(41:46):
depressed and broke season.

I'm sad it's a real thing.
Dusty (41:50):
It's no, you seasonal depression because you're
spending all your damn money onstuff your kids don't need.
And you know I've got this isfor a Christmas episode, but I'm
just gonna say it right, we buytoo many gifts for too many
people.
Why would buy gifts foreverybody?

buys for something you to buyfor so many people.
