Speaker 3 (01:15):
Hey everybody, welcome back to this week's episode Move the
Mic Stand Comedy Podcast. I'm one of your hosts, Cash
Money Carl, and with me as always is Deanburg. Hey Dean, Hey,
what's going on? Another week, another episode, another day thriving surviving.

(01:36):
It is summertime, and we know that because it was hot.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
It was hot last time it was summer.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, not even last episode like this. Last week was
just insane. We did get into triple digits. Not good,
it's not good. I like a nice sixty five with
a slight breeze, like that's that's like my perfect time.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, like sixty nine is the hottest, you know anything
more than that or less? It's just all right, sixty
nine it's the hottest sixty bad, it's the hottest sixty nine.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Nice?

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Okay, yeah, no, I like it. I actually saw a
meme that made me mad. It wasn't even necessarily the meme.
It was the way someone responded to it. Okay, So
somebody posted like something, it was a meme, and it
said for all you winter haters, go outside and enjoy you.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Oh this was the heat that what you were waiting for.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
It's your bottomless hell or it's something about it being
like hellish temperatures outside. And I was like, yeah, get them,
get them, because I don't really like the heat. And
then somebody commented.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
Yeah, well then go see spindle day outside a negative
thirty degree weather. Than I was like, shut up, cool story,
tell it again.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Actually actually no, it's just I don't know why irritated
me so much, but it kind of irritated me, so
I was just kind of I was like, what I
want to spend outside in the negative thirty damatures all day?
And then I was like, you know, it's a dry
cold though, well, like when I'm snow blowing and stuff,
I'm dressed up warm, it isn't terrible, all right.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, And if you're sweating in there.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
It's a different sweat. Yeah, that's the difference, like a
dry sweat or something. But anyways, yeah, it's officially summer now,
so people going to them parks. Water parks, yeah, that
sort of stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
You ever been to any Oh? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
I haven't gone in a while, but been to a couple,
you know, steam barks, you know six Flags.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
The one in Gurney, Illinois or a different one one, Okay,
and it's been a lot. I think it's probably been
over a decade since I've been there.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
More of a water park guy though, water.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Parks, I'm the opposite. I mean, because I don't really
need to be walking around with my shirt off. Why,
because I got like that, I don't I got that
natural like sweater.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Going on and uh body hair.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah yeah, and then it's like either I don't need
someone saying, oh look escape sasquatch. We found him or something.
Take blurry photos of me.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
I actually had a friend when we were at a
we were actually at a hotel and we're getting into
the pool and he took off his shirt and some
guy I had of nowhere, yo, hey buddy, no sweaters
in the pool. Oh, because he was a very hairy lad.
And then he didn't go in the pool and he
went back to the room and we never went back
there again.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
He was sad.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, I'd be sad too.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
But I was like looking at like the four or
five chest hairs that I have going on, and I
was like this, that wouldn't mind. Did you do manha sweater?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Okay? So so something that you know, like I'm concerned
about You're like, man, I wish I had hair. Yeah,
I can only grow a beerd.

Speaker 7 (04:58):
Yeah, like mine is on a patch, just a of
my ass crack and that's it. Like a tail hair,
you braid it, braid it then get up be a legitytail.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
His tail.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
You're just half a centaur.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yeah, not even I'm an eighth of the centaur.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Just that little party. No, it would be like a
third I think because you got the the I don't
know is it is it half? I don't know, because
it's like you got the standing torso like legs, torso head,
and then you got the horizontal torso, and then you
got the rear legs.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
So would do you need to explain to people what
a centaur is in case you don't know? Oh?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Sure, I guess if you don't know a centaur is,
it's a part of like Greek mythology where basically it's
half horse half man.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
You better explain which part.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
Okay, so the rear of a horse and then a
full man really yeah, but but a full man.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
But their legs are horse legs, yeah, kind of because
like if if you if you cut them like like
at the the back of the man, it would be
like a whole person just with horse legs, which would
be a fawn, right or is that goat man?

Speaker 5 (06:18):
A goat is something there's something different. It's a goat though,
I feel that's.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
That's a fawn. Yeah, yeah, that'd be like mister Tumnus
and lion Witch and the wardrobe. Yes.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
I actually like the idea, the premise that if there's
a centaur that is the top of a man and
the body of a horse, there's the opposite.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
There's a body of a man in the top of
a horse.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, that's kind of giving me a little bit of
nightmares right now, swinging geezka a horse head.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
All right, Yeah, that'd be cool, because it's not cool.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I don't want that.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
If you were, like you were in a like a
mythological land and you're like, what this is just like
mythology books and some of them bastards walks up.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
This seems like a fallout version of Greek mythology. That'd
be fun, drop the bomb and boom.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Pretty fun.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, actually, that is kind of there's kind of a
centauri thing. I think it's called a centaur in Fallout,
but there's no horse involved. It's just people. It's like
multiple people in one creature. Yeah, it's freaky.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, it is freaky.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
And that's what I'm picturing now, except for with a horsehead.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
I don't picturing.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
When I had a water park, going down a water slide.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Probably really pretty crazy. Yeah, it would be crazy.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Actually, when I go to water parks, I don't even
take my shirt off. I wear like a rash guard
and then like a water shirt over the top.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, I usually would wear a water shirt too, because
I'm so pale. I need that sun protection.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Usually try to be colorful though, because if I'm wearing
like all black whatever, I don't really think I'm gonna
workupin like that. Yeah, free willy, yeah, something like that. Yeah. Actually,
when I was like ten years old, I was swimming
in a pool at a hotel. Did hotels have pools
when you were ten years old? Yep, okay they did.

(08:08):
They didn't put any chlorine or anything in them. They
put mercury in lead. And I was like, I'm just swimming,
mind in my business, not really doing anything, and there's
this old lady in there, and I'm like ten, and
I'm just doggy paddling around doing whatever. My mom's reading

(08:30):
a book, my dad just sitting there because he would
travel for business, and so then I take us along
and stuff, and I'm just swimming in this like brinky, saggy, nasty,
crusty old lady. Yeah, she's just like, what's this lard
ass doing?

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, that's why you're Yeah, you're being and you're being
nice to her crusty.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Yeah, it was being nice when I'm saying all those things.
But surprisingly, given that i've had. I think I prefer
water parks because I don't know. I think I was
traumatized by rides when I was little.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Oh why did you?

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Did you go on a particular ride and something happened
or you just didn't like it or what? When I
was like four, I think, and I don't even know
what it was. If it was Snowfest that they used
to have in two Rivers or whatever they had the
Tilda World.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Okay, well hold on, let's just make the clarification first.
That's Carnie rides. Yeah, I know, but this is what started.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
And it was a Tilda the World and I was
tilted well and I was like four, and they let
me go on it alone, oh geez. And I don't remember.
I think I was with my sister, maybe my brother,
some people I don't even remember who they were, and
they were like, oh, let's put them on the ride. Yeah,
And they put me on the ride and they're taking

(09:55):
pictures and stuff with their polaroids and I'm holding on,
screaming for deer. Yeah, you know, like then it was
going one way and then it would start going the
other way, and I'm just like freaking out and I'm
like step off and they just kept you know.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Guys, because they don't they don't stop. They do sometimes
because I think it's different. It took me a while.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
To actually get used to wanting to ride rides and
stuff like that. And I was probably five or six
and I was on a ride and it was kind
of the same thing. I was like, sap, and they
actually did stop it, but the Carnie guy just was
like shut up, you know, he was just yelling and
being all stupid. And then it took me a long
time before I would go on like any rides or

(10:38):
anything like that.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
But what what rides were like, the ones that you
would even choose to know? No, like no, none had
any injury.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
Otherwise I would go right to like the Midway and
play games and goldfish and ship I mean at like
a county fair or something.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yeah, the Midway is always fun, like like, yeah, the
games are kind of rigged, but they're still fun regardless
if you like, because people obviously do win. And I
mean that's a part of the carne life, right, is
like if nobody wins, their game's not gonna Yeah, so
they have to have some people win, but they'll look
for the person that's like with their girlfriend, fiance or

(11:18):
whatever and looks like a person that's trying to impress them. Yeah,
oh don't you want to get that pink elephant for
your girlfriend? Oh? Are you a real man? Whatever? That
kind of stuff. But they'll like have a kid win
a big prize or something, because the prizes cost them
like nothing, right, So then the guy would be like,
oh the little.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yes, I would do that. And apparently when I was
what was your game or a couple of games lead
milk jugs, throw on a baseball at them.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Oh, like the knockdown ones. Yeah, okay, win that one.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Couldn't it couldn't make them heavy enough for me knock
them over?

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Because you were I want to or soon to be
pro professional.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Japanese baseball player.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah, Like I'd like I'd throw it once or twice,
and then I'd be like, okay, know exactly where to
throw it, and yeah, put everything I had into it,
and I'd usually win.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Not every time, but you know, I figured out and
the goldfish.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Goldfish wan was that's the ping pong ball into the
the gouldfish bowl.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, poor goldfish.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
And then you'd have him in like a cereal bowl
because he didn't have a goldfish bowl.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Right, well, those actual goldfish bowls are apparently.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Not very good for goldfishing.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
No, they're not because there's no like aerration or anything
going in there.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yeah, not that they need a ton, but right, but yeah,
so then I uh, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
I just kind of didn't like rides a ton.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Supposedly I liked him before that, but I have a
memory of riding with tilta Weale Tilt the World, which sometimes,
like right now in Averick apparently loves rides, But every
time I see pictures of him, he's terrified.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
No, he's he supposedly loves him.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
But every time I see a picture like if somebody
like if you know, he was at County Fair or
something with like relatives or something like that, and they
take a picture, then I'm just kind of like, oh boy,
And then I find out when he gets home then
he loved it. And I'm just waiting for the one
day when he has the one ride that traumatizes him.

(13:16):
Then he hates rides till he's Once I was twelve, though,
then they had the gravitron.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
You ever going a is that the one where the
floor drops out in space.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, the floor doesn't drop out.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
The moves.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
There are panels on the wall. Slide up at the
centrifical forester. Yeah yeah, pulls you up and then you
can climb up the wall.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
And stuff right and then spit and hit yourself.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Well, we used to like, if you want anything like
stuffed animals at the midway, we used to like stick
them to the side right next to us. I was
playing catch with mine and then I missed it and
they went right into the like in between two of
the panels, and I lost it. And then I went
back when they were all done and we're taking it down.
And when they were taking it down, I was like, hey,

(13:58):
that's your final little stuffed bunny there, and the guy
just looked at me like, get out of your kid. Okay, yeah,
but water parks I always enjoying.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
All right, but what are you doing at the water park?
Lazy River and it all.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Lazy River churros hot.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
You can still do turros and hot dogs at the theme.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
I like the non alcoholic like slushy drinks.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Okay, one good thing, I have an Ininja slushy. Now
you can hook that up.

Speaker 5 (14:27):
They have video games and stuff. They're like you know
where you went tickets a lot of times.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
I like that arcade. Yeah, they have that at the
theme part too, Dean right now, right now the only
thing that you're calling out.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah, Well, and then like I like slides, but I
don't necessarily like ones you have to use a raft, say,
just body slides.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Yeah, like the toilet bowl, that's one of my favorite.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
That's a good one. Other than sometimes depending on how
that drop is in the center.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Not too bad. And I done that one. I don't
mind if you have to be on an interview, but
I bet on ones where you don't. Yeah, And it's
just more fun than you don't have to.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
And then you just kind of flop in the middle.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, the ones where you don't have to. The hole
is a lot bigger than if it's an inner.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Two, right, because it's it's completely open for the body
slide ones because you just fall in the center. But
the tube ones they have a specific opening. So eventually, yeah,
I think it's just a slow down.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
So you go in there, it's like you're going right
down a sphincter, sure, and then spits you on the
other end. But I like that one on the sphincter.
And there's a couple other slides and things that I like.
I like like tube slides, even the ones when it's
like pitch dark and you can't see. I like those ones.

(15:41):
But there's one that like lights up when you're going through.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Its super fun. I don't know what it's called.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
And then most most places have at least one of those.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
My favorite is I don't know if it was at
the Chewela Vista or where, but do you ever see
Ice age two when they go down that big slide
of ice and they're like, oh, he's gonna go down
the vicerator.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
I was called it the avicerator because it's like a
straight drop down and that's all it is. It is
just straight dropping and the rest of the time it's
slowing you down. I did that one a couple of
summers ago.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
The body slide version. It's a body side yeah yeah,
and they tell you to cross your legs and across you.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
I don't like this, and it's like you get to
a point where you're like this can no longer be
undone and then and then he just shoot.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Straight nowt and then you get a free animal.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Kind of you get out you do get out of water.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
And Aggie and you turn a regular cargo pants swimsuit
into a speed.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Water buttole all day long.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
One down that one. So I like that one, and
then I think it was I think it was The
Great Wolf. I don't remember.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
They have one where you stand in like a chamber.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, and it's a drop.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
And then the guy basically drop too, and he's always
calming down like three two, and then he does it
at some.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Random number, or it's like the ones where it's like
the for the theme park ride where it's the sling
shot and the guy's coming over. He's like, I gotta
do a safety check and I was like, hey, this
bolt fell off and then launch it.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, oh, can't watch you? This bolt fell off there. Yeah,
but no, he'll he'll count down and the one time
and people at home can't see it. But as he
was counting down, I had my range crossed and I
was like, had three fingers up and then I was
like three two and then I just left my middle
finger up for one shot me right down.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
But that was fun right down too. What about the wavepool?
I love the wavepool.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Have you ever gone a Mondalympis and the Poseidon's Revenge
or whatever it's called.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
No, but I'm guessing you're telling me it's got a
pretty powerful wave, like a tsunami wave.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yeah, it's like.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
It lifts you up, it moves you.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
It's really I don't want to say eighteen feet because
that's really high, I think, but it might be Ailey's nine.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
I think it might be like that because Disney World
that Typhoon Lagoon, their wavepool has like that tsunami thing,
and I remember like being lifted and moved like fifty
feet backwards, and it's like it's insane, Like I I
can't believe that more people don't drown in that. Yeah,
especially if you're not on an innertube. But if it's crowded,
you're not on an innertube and you're just you know,

(18:19):
treading water.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Well that's why they stopped using inner tubes at like
the Wilderness for their wavepool. Oh yeah, because people get
stuck underneath them.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, yeah, I believe that.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
But it was it was funny because the first time
I went there, I was just kind of I had
a day off or something. It was just me and Hayden,
my son, not the comedian and we were there and
he's like, that doesn't look that scary or cool, and
then he went out to like maybe thigh height, and

(18:51):
then all of a sudden it comes I think, I
want to say, it comes out every.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, they'd send out an alarm and all that, and
then yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
Then a sudden you hear that like the I want
to say, there was noises of some sort. I don't
know if it was thunder or what it was. And
then all of a sudden you hear the wave just
go who And then it starts coming and you can
just hear it like.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Making its wave noises.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
And I remember Hayden was just kind of standing there
looking at it, and then he started to take a
couple of steps towards like shore, and he started to
take a couple he started backpedaling, back pedaling, and he
turned around. He started to run, and as he was running,
the wave broke over the top of him and just
wiped him out. It is so cool. It's fun.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Have you ever seen like the how it's made, like
how those machines work for the way you have, Yeah,
and it's just like the paddle yeah, and it just whoosh. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
I feel it gets it big enough and then it fires.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
It off and then and then the thing is too
about that they can't just make it stop like right
away either. So like if someone is like drowning, yeah,
like yeah, they turn it off, but you might still
get like five waves, big waves coming through.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
So yeah, well on a regular wool, but on the
Poseidon's Revenge or whatever, it's just one.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh yeah, it's one, but still the waves are coming
after that though, we're still pretty big because it's dying down.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
The only they get a lake now is not like
in the Dells. A lot of the parks are open
to the public now. You used to have to be staying, yeah,
and now they're open to the public and they're kind
of going downhill fast.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Because there's a lot of people there.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
It's way too many, way too many people. Because they're
trying to make money. They get it, and they can't
make it just on hotel guests, I suppose.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
But except for the wilderness. Because one time Abby and
I were going to the wilderness or to the Dells
to do some mini golf, and I had called ahead
and I said, hey, we're not staying at the hotel,
but you know, I want to do a review of
your mini golf course for Mini Golf Reviews And they're like, sure, yeah,
come on in. So we do that and pay and
then we go play. And it took forever for us

(20:57):
to get over there because there's the place to pay
was like guest services was on the other end of
the entire complex of Wilderness, so and then they had
construction going on, so we had to walk all the
way over there. And then we get there, we play
around everything, document it all, and as soon as we
get out there security waiting for us and they said

(21:17):
we need to remove you from the premises. And we're like,
what's going on. You're not a guest here. You need
to leave?

Speaker 5 (21:24):
Really, I asked yeah basically, and still kicked us out.
So we thought that was kind of Yeah, it was
because like, do you not want money?

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Do you not want like publicity? And it was just weird.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
They're open to the public now, though I'm pretty sure
they are. Well, I think the last time I went
there was a bit of goo. I thought they were. Yeah,
this was only like two years ago, so so many
band aids, yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Everywhere. Okay, are there any other rides at the water
park or any other thing at the water park that
you're gonna do. Are they like to do?

Speaker 5 (22:04):
I mean there's water sides. Sometimes I just like being there,
like just being there, even if I don't go on anything,
just being there.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
It's kind of expensive. You could just be there.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
At my house and then flatable pool in the backyard.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Or just put some toys in the bathtub. I don't
get a raft because I have.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
Like kids, and they'll be there with the kids or whatever.
I haven't gone the little necessarily.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
I enjoy that and just chilling and has gramp and
that sort of stuff, wearing my rash guard and my
swim shirt.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
All Right, I'm gonna give you one theme park that
maybe you should try someday, Okay, because it's Ride the Batman,
okay at six places like yeah, okay, I like that
almost a pretty good one. Yeah, But I'm gonna give
you one theme park because it's less about the rides there.
It's just more about atmosphere, food shows, that kind of stuff.

(23:00):
It's called Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. It's themed
of like the Pioneer our wild West, kind of pioneer
era gold Rush of the US. And and and that's
what everything is based off. All the rides are themed
that way, lots of great food, lots of like demonstrations.

(23:21):
That's kind of like going to like Old World Wisconsin
or something like that. So yeah, check that one out right.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
If you don't make them in Branson.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Yeah, go to Branson. There's a lot of stuff you
can do, some stand up iron brands. I'm saying, yeah,
it would be worthwhile. Yeah, And I passed by pass
through Branson pretty much every year except for this one
American Soil trip. So it's just the weather was really bad,
So no stop, I think. I don't even I was
gonna say going back to the Six Flags thing, though,

(23:53):
I don't even know what rides are even there anymore
now it's been like ten years. Like I remember going
on the Wizzard, the Demon Batman.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
I remember Baman.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
It was just cool. Is there a Superman on too?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
I think so. And that one I think you Laid
Flat that I hate, Like the Giant Drop, I won't
do that, Like they're the ones where it just brings
you up and then drops. I really like those. Raging
Bowl was another one that was the that was their
biggest one at the time. It was orange and purple.

(24:28):
It had this like weird little mini dip before the
big drop, and then it dropped and you went under
a tunnel. Let's see, there was the viper. Those are
the only really the only roller coasters. The Eagle American
Eagle or whatever that one's called. That one could go
forwards and backwards, but I think they removed the backwards. Yeah, yeah,

(24:52):
I think you're right.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah, because the little girl from full House died skidding
same great school. I was an urban legend that she
was too small for some ride, but because she was famous,
they led her on and fell off and died. Okay, yeah,

(25:15):
I think that was you.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
I think that was a I think that was the
gurgle his little brother. That's a cool like atari sound.
I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
I don't even know who I did that, because I
was like making a noise like this, and then there
was like or whatever that was. That's the gurgle trying
to make an appearance. Stay away, gurgling Jenny Jenny. Jenny
Jennifer was a girl from full House. The not the
oldest girl, not the olds and twins, the other one. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Really a lot of times, but we're not going to
figure that out.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Do you watch Family Matters?

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Nope?

Speaker 6 (26:02):
Dean.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
I thought you're like a nineties kid.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yeah, I was born in ninety two. That means I
didn't watch stuff really until like two thousand. Your parents really.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
Watched it while you're changing your favors.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Wow, yeah, did that just really like hurt your brain?

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Jenny McCurdy is that her name? I don't know, whatever
real name is.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Was the this thing when I was like in the
eighth grade, Dad like, what did you hear? She fell off?

Speaker 5 (26:26):
The roller coaster had six flags and she died And
I was like I just saw on TV and they were.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Like three run.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
I'm recorded, Well that.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Was always a thing.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
Yeah, what else? Uh? What else do you do in
the summertime? I'm like you, uh than that and mini
golf and what. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
I don't like to do things.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
I don't like to be outside. I mean, now fish,
I'll go fishing fishing, but I like dock fishing. I
don't really want to be on a boat and fish.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
I like boat fishing, like on a bass boat.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Well, I have two issues at that. One. Usually you
always have a lot of people that want to fish,
and then it's just it's overcrowded.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
That can happen.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
And then two I'm not in control. So if like
I'm done fishing, I can't just leave. Everybody else is.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Still fishing, well not swimming.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Do you like to go pontooning?

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah, pontooning that's fine, but only for a certain amount
of time. Like again, I can't be in the sun
too long.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
On TikTok, they were selling like two people pontoons like
they were these little.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I saw an ai for a single pontoon. It was
so stupid looking, really, it was just it was an ai.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
This one was an ai. It was actually like a
little it is almost the size of a paddle boat,
but it was a pondtouka And I was like, first,
just buy a full ponto Well, the first boat that
goes by making a wake and you're wrecked.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Right like you're done. It's just a full pontoon. Yeah,
it's probably more expensive to get that like two person
pontoon then to get like a basic full size pontoon
because that would have to make customs.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
So yeah, yeah, there's like a paddle boat. Yeah, it's
kind of paddle boaty.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Paddle Boats are good, they're not bad fishing boats too,
if you're just doing some like casual lake stuff, not
like a going on Lake Michigan, but like if you
stay a cabin somewhere and they have a lake that's
not bad for fishing. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
I think that's probably my favorite summer activities fishing. Okay,
if I have to pick one, fishing and then maybe
a water park. Yeah, I mean I like mini golf,
I like regular golf, big golf. Even though I haven't
gone fishing, and forever I should go. I haven't gone
a long time.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Let's go.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Let's stew up I think two thousand and seventeen. Jeez, yeah,
we gotta take it. Do you have fishing gear? Okay,
let's go all right there, you get a license in oh, yeah,
you just buy the annual license sixty I mean not
gonna be gonna tell people are spot.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
But no, I mean I'd like to go more on
like more semi lake, not necessarily like like Winnebago at
the pet on the Bridge or whatever, where it's like
sixty people are fishing there and they're like nobody's catching anything. Yeah,
because sixty people are fishing at once.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
When I was what was that show?

Speaker 3 (29:13):
I did.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Chant to clear the Chanta Clear Chanta Clear. I forget
what that was, but they had a really nice lake
Town's probably something lake. I don't remember it ship. But
I was doing a show with Rob and he went
up early and he went fishing.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
And they stayed at a cabin, right, and that guy
had a boat. Yeah, so videos that.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yeah, he caught a bunch of uh we talked about
that a little bit because that was jim Gee. But
he went fishing just from the docks and stuff there,
and he's catching all kinds of little bass and stuff that.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
I like that just because it's casual and then you're done.
You're done. You don't have to get too into it.
I like playing bags or cornhole or whatever you want
to call it for wherever you are. That quite a bit. Okay,
have you ever done lawn bowling?

Speaker 5 (30:05):
Almost the same thing, or it's not pins, it's it's
it's like bachi ball where you have the target ball,
the little white target ball, but then instead of like
chucking it or whatever, you're literally rolling it like you're bowling.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
There used to be I'm pretty sure still there there
was like a big club place for it in Milwaukee,
Like what was it, Lake Park? They have like an
actual like this is the Lawn Bowling Club of America
or something like that.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
Really, what the heck was that game.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Called Viking Chess? Cube?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Is that it is?

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Is that the one where you throw sticks and try
to knock down other sticks?

Speaker 5 (30:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Cube or Viking Chess.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
It was called Viking Bowling.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, I like that one. That's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
I had that last Rock USA that was round. I
brought that along. That so fun.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
I have a set we could play that. Let's see.
People are always trying to come up with like new
lawn games, and usually they have some sort of element
of like tossing something, usually and with with targets like washers.
That's another good one.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
I used to have this double set of giant dice
play Yazi and then there was like a ring like rings,
and you had to throw the dice and get it
to land in the ring, and then whatever number was
showing that was your points and.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
You're like twenty one. Okay, let's see there's arts. Well yeah,
but and even even though og jarts lawn darts, I
mean those are illegal, but you can still get variations
of that game.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
Now, Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Let's see, there's a can jam, which is like frisbee
and you have to basically try to toss it, yeah,
dunk it into a garbage can. There's that bottle one
where you have a stick and then you have like
a plastic bottle, or normally you would play with your
empty beer bottle and you'd have to use a frisbee
and try to knock it off.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
Oh yeah, let's see.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
There's there's so many variations. There's so many variations names
for this game. But basically ladder golf is like the
common name, but people call it balls in the bed post.
Yeah yeah, I kind of.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Hate it what people called bags cornhole.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Too, you call it bags? Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I
always called it bags too well. Cornhole, bags and bago
are three variations of the same game. It's depending on
the size of the board and where the hole is
and how big the hole is. That's a good sound bite,
how big the hole is. Let's see what other games.

(32:45):
There's bucket golf. That's one that's taking off quite a
bit right now. It's basically like playing golf with a
wiffle ball and a collapsible laundry hamper. Basically what the
holes are, so the laundry hamper when it was collapsible ones,
and then you just have to either hit the bat

(33:05):
the bucket or get it in. I think, well, there's
so many games spike ball. You ever play that?

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (33:14):
And there's a pool version, like a swimming pool version
now I saw. I think it's called like spike Booie
or something. That one looks like it would be kind
of hard to play though, because you do have to
move around quite a bit. People don't move around so
quickly in the pool. There's search here, there's there's chip out.

(33:37):
You ever hear that one? That one chip like golf,
and then it's like kind of like beer pong a
little bit.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
I had one that came out, but I don't even
know if they're still in business. They were a sponsor
for a little bit, but it was called moneyball, and
it was basically like a tilted board with baskets and
you'd throw like, uh, bean bag balls at it. But
then there was like this long narrow ramp with a
single with a hole that the ball just very fit through.

(34:07):
You nailed out when you won the game.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
We used to kind of make up our own games.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
One of my favorite ones I mean we used to
play with football all the time and stuff like that.
That was always fun. But at my parents' house, I
had a swing set in the backyard and we used
to take like a like a sometimes there's a soccer ball.
The soccer ball was actually the most fun. Or like
just one of those you know you see them in
the bin at Walmart and they're just like.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
A ball, the plastic ones that smell good like you.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Yeah, like, yeah, it wasn't like a legit kickball, but
a lot of times you see kids playing kickball with
them and stuff.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Like that, the vinyly rubber ones around the okay, yeah, yeah, no,
it's not really plastic, yeah, plastic ke vinyl. Like Usually
they'd be in big like a medicine or not a
medicine ball, like a yoga ball.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Yeah yeah, that was kind of bad. But we wouldn't
get them that big, and we would swing on the
and then somebody would pitch the ball and you'd kick it.
We always had these weird rules, like if it landed
in the.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Pool, bonus point, that was an out.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
If it went into the cranky neighbor lady's yard, you
were automatically three outs kicked it over the garage, it
was a Grand Slam home run. If you hit like
halfway up the garage and higher, it was a home
run or a double, you know, and you just keep
swinging and whatever. But one time we tried to do
it where you had to actually swing on the swing

(35:30):
and then when you kick the ball you had to
jump off and try to run the bases, and that
was that was kind of fun. And then so we'd
play that all the time, my nephews and I, like
it was like our favorite thing to do.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
And then we would also play this game.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
Wait, well, why not bring it back? I don't know,
swing set, get a swing set just for this. That
would that id it'll hold me, yeah, Because the funniest
part was it was like it was my old sesame
Street one and the seats were just plastic and we
got bigger that they would randomly snap in half and
then it would just like you would always do it

(36:05):
right at the same time, like when you're coming down
and the gravity is pulling you down and that's when
they'd snap and your butthole would just go straight into
the ground. It felt like like it was just like
it felt like that was the first thing that hit
and need to be rolling around feeling like I got
a poop because did you know that if you get
hitting a buttle hard enough, it makes you have to poop. Okay, yes,

(36:28):
so that would happen as we're betting bigger.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
And then my dad bought us better, better.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
Quality swing because I was gonna say, if you go
to like a public park, you would say those swings
can hold quite a bit away because they're like, I'm
still scared, Jim metal chains. I'm still scared though, because
we were so high like, and then when that thing
would break, it was like just straight to the ground
and underneath it, you know, it's always hard mud because

(36:53):
you're always dragging your feet to stop all the grass
is warm and then it would rain or get wet
and then would just turn into like a rock.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Yeah. I mean like they should use that mud to
build like buildings.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Yeah. It would just like slam you right into that
straight into it like just ass. First, it was no fun,
but then we would play this game too where we
called it free fallen okay, and you would just swing
on the swing as high as he could and you
would jump off and try to see who could jump
off the most times both, but whatever song, like whatever

(37:29):
song was playing like the radio, you had to see
who could jump off the most times. And then my
nephew ended up like tearing something and hurting himself and
my brother had to carry him around for like three
weeks and it was like nine. But we would play
games like that a lot. Or we would try to
swing and try to jump over the fence and land

(37:51):
in the pool. Well, that sounds real dangerous. Land on
the fence. Yeah, was it a pick of fence or
was it a chain fence or chain a lot? Yeah,
cut you up open, yeah, like we needn't hit it.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
You kind of like hit it and can of bounce off.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
And was kind of like Kevin James, just like running
into things like in mall cop like that. You just
hit it.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Okay, let's see. We played foil ball when like a
little league and stuff when you're like.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
On it. No, no, no, So you'd get a hot
dog after your game, right, and then you you and
whoever else would have when you'd collect all the foil
that determined the size of the ball that you'd have
that for that game, and then you pack it up
into a ball and you have a picture but the
picture was on your side as the batter, because the
picture wanted you to hit okay, okay, and.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
It wasn't the kicking game to the picture was on
your side.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Yeah, because they wanted to get set you up for
good shots and stuff. So there was definitely distances that
if you hit like, you scored. Otherwise it was fielding,
so everybody else would be out in the field, so
your picture was on your team in a sense, like
you both score points. You're hitting with your hand, so

(39:10):
they throw the foil ball and you'd smack it with
your hand and see it if you could get it
fire enough. But people in the outfield they were all
on their own right, So like let's say you hit
it and you hit it out in the outfield and
you caught it, you would get to go up to bat. Oh,
you get a chance to score points. So like usually
the pitcher was somebody that everybody was like good friends

(39:31):
with or whatever, but or you could pick your pitcher whatever.
It just depended on that, and you would basically play
until someone got to like ten points.

Speaker 5 (39:39):
That's kind of how the kicking game was, except for
like even when you were on defense, you could get points.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
By stylized catching.

Speaker 5 (39:47):
Oh nice, that's cool, Like if you kick the ball
and then caught it, or you do over the roobarb.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
You caught it, dove over the roobarb.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
That was my favorite move.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
It's really tough to play that when you don't rubarb.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
I know, but if you did, it was amazing. Do
you know that rubarb there's only like several months out
of the year you can actually eat it.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Otherwise it's poisonous noye. I like strawberry rubarb pie. So
that's good to know.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
It has to be harvested in a month containing no
not if it has the letter R in the month
you shouldn't harvested, okay, yea, so May, June, July, August,
that's it. That's where you can eat it. Otherwise there's
too much ox salic acid or something like that. It'll
kill you.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Ox salad sounds like salad, ox salic oh something like that.
I was gonna say, if it's an ox and a
salad together, I'm not really sure I want it. So
no ox.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
Salaic acid, okay, tear you up from the inside.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
I do remember also playing a game with the one
of those frisbees that are like the rings not like
so like they're hollow in the middle, right, And so
you'd go and you'd throw the frisbee and again it
was like stylized catches like you said, So you'd have
to like put your hand out and like swing it
around your hand as you caught it, or catch it

(41:06):
on your head. Like there's all different ways that you
could do that, almost like frisbee football. No, because there
wasn't really like go like distance wise, it didn't matter.
It's just like you were basically have a partner throwing
partner and you try to so you could get the
cool style stuff. So if you landed on your head,
it was like ten points. You caught it on your

(41:28):
arm and like swung it around like a hula hoop,
right yep, then you get like three points. We just
caught it, it was one point. Caught on your foot,
it was five stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
When the movie Predator came out, we used to play
a game called Predator.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Oh and Chris Hansen involved.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
Nope, okay, one person was the predator as in the
alien creature. I don't know, Schwartzenegger fights and you basically
you and you can tell by the way the games
were that you and I came from a little different
era because like we made these episodes, not like it
was national games. You see it on ESPN kids playing Predator.

(42:08):
But I had this soccer ball that had been around
forever and it would float in the pool for days
at a time and then so it get heavy inside
in the sun and get hard, and it was just
this beast of a you know, like what's that one,

(42:29):
Like one of those ball and chain kind of weapons,
and it was like they could just flail.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
Sure, I can't remember what.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
They called, but it would have like a really like
hard ball to it.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
So you're saying, like the one that in medieval times,
it'd swing around and that's the spike. Yeah, so that's
a flail. So the mace is the same the ball
on spikey but on stick.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Right right, yeah. And so it would get it would
get really hard and then we'd either tie like a
jump rope around it, and then the person who was
the predator had to run and chase everybody all around
the outside and whatever and then use it to like
them trip them, or you could like a bolo, Like
a bolo it would kind of be like that, or

(43:12):
you could like take the like just the ball out
and you could just throw it like that was your gun,
and the predator would usually try to hide, and then
everybody would kind of walk around and be like, I
don't know, and then you jump out and just start
doing all that stuff. But then we put an added
adaptation on it where anybody who was like the Marines

(43:35):
or hunters or forces or whatever donald I'll move, whatever
we wanted to call ourselves. You had to drink cherry
jolly good soda.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
And if you couldn't afford it, too bad.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
But you know, and you had to hold it in
your mouth while you were running around.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Also if you got hit.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
Yeah, it's weird game like that. But I also played
this game it's called Werewolf, which was kind of like
kick the Can a little bit, where like you played
at night chase each other, and then you get caught
by the werewolves and then they would take you to
somebody's porch and then that was the jail, and then
you had to run and like tag them to free them.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
So jail breaking away, but at night specifically, yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
And then it would get kind of crazy though, because
we played pretty late at night and sometimes would have
cap guns and you shoot a cap gun at night,
and at least the ones from like the eighties, yeah,
they had the spark and then it looks like there's
stuff that had come out of the barrel. And then
one day a cop showed up because my friend was
running and I like cap gun, and he pretended he died,

(44:42):
and I don't know if somebody called the cops or whatever,
but also the cops came driving down the road and
they were using their lights on their car, yeah, and
they were like searching, and everybody was like hiding in
the garage with the door. The door was opened in
the garage and I was hiding by the car, and
the cop just stopped with the light on the garage
and the and then people kind of started like popping
out like hey, and like waving at the top and

(45:05):
stuff like that. But I used to always hate this
Batman headband.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yeah, I'm sure I could see you with that.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
I'd always wear this Batman like a sweat band. It
wasn't even like like a karate kid type band. It
was like a sweat band like you for working out,
with a Batman symbol on it. And I'd always wear
it when we're playing that game, and so I would
do stuff like climb up on top of the garages
or wherever, and that's where I'd hide and jump down.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
That wasn't against the rules, Nope, you could hide wherever.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
You wanted wherever. So how did you go in the house?

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Okay? So how did you win as the Marines or
whatever for Predator? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (45:44):
When do you get sick of it?

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (45:46):
I don't want to be predator anymore?

Speaker 3 (45:47):
To your turn okay, okay, And the predators just want
to forget everybody.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Well, sometimes we would do like the last.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
Person clot would be Predator next yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
And then everybody else we time up with a drunk
broken hang them from the swing set. Whence you were dead,
but you got to hang out at the swing set
if you were dead, somebody'd be like, oh you got Jason,
he's on the swings and you know stuff like that. Yeah,
but no, we were playing Werewolf and then the cops
like looking in the garage at everybody, and then me

(46:19):
with my stupid batman headband. He jumped off behind him
and he literally spun out like with his gun like
he like pointed it at me. And if that was
now he'd be did he probably would have shot me
because I'm an adult and that'd be really scary.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
No.

Speaker 5 (46:37):
I just mean, like you know, I don't know just
the way things are with cops now, they probably do more,
a little bit more.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
It's interesting that you mentioned cap guns though, because I
was thinking about that the other day. I was like, man,
when I was a kid, they looked real like they
looked like revolvers, and I was like, man, I wonder
if you can get them, And I was looking online
at Amazon and stuff. They didn't really have any, and
then went to Shields and Appleton they have them and
some Yeah it's like a big orange baked looking gun. Cool, right,

(47:04):
But then they had one that looked like a legitimate gun.
I mean still has the orange tip, which they have
to by the long paint or break it off, right,
but like other than that, I mean, it looked legitimate,
like you definitely get in trouble with that. So it
was just kind of interesting that that's still a thing
like that they would even consider selling those.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
There were two types of caps all the time. That
was awesome. I just like the bending over and your
headphones hit the thing and went. But it made like
a bunk.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
I know it was a good cartoon sound car.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
It was a cartoon head bonk. But anyways, so then
they you know, they had the different.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Types of can right, so like the cylinder cap paper.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
Ones or the cylinder one.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
The paper ones were trash.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Well, it depended on the type of gun.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
I had. Any gun where you could like put the yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:59):
And you could pull the thing and then it was
supposed to feed him through and go pop up up.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Well yeah, because if you got if it just got
off just by a little bit. Yeah, now it's hitting
the wrong spine. It's not popping it.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
I always preferred the ring ones. But then one of
the most hellish toys that used caps when I was
little was a thunder punch he man.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Okay, did that just go to her?

Speaker 5 (48:23):
I don't know. I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
But basically it was he man, but he was he
had a red.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
Emblem on his front, and then he had like a backpack,
and then his one hand was in a punch. On
the other hand was just kind of whatever, and you
would turn him back and when you would turn him
back and let him go, he would punch forward. And
he would punch forward this little like piece of metal
would come out and hit that thing on the round caps,

(48:51):
make it go off, and then his chest would light
up from the spark.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Really, you know, I.

Speaker 5 (48:57):
Don't know if his chest was supposed to light up
or if that just kind of happened.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
What was this the thunder punch? He man thunder punch
almost if there's a video of this somewhere, but there is.

Speaker 5 (49:07):
But what made it hillacious, like absolutely terrible is to
put the caps in. It was like this metal ring
inside and you had to push them in to get
them to kind of almost like lock in so that
when you would he would do the punch up there,
he is, when you would do the punch and that
metal thing would hit the cap it you had to

(49:29):
have it in there tight enough or it wouldn't work.
There were so many times you'd be pushing it in
there and you'd push too hard and then the cap
would go off and like burn your thumb and it
would be like one of those white burns, like your
skin would turn instantly white. Yeah, I think they call
those third degree. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Well, isn't wasn't it like the most dangerous firework? Now
that Fourth of July is coming up Sparkler's. Oh yeah,
those burn like super hot. Yeah, the heat of the sun.

Speaker 5 (49:56):
Yeah, I think it's like magnesium or something like that,
and it's mm hm the.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
Falls first, yeah something, but they Yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
I grabbed thee once I was little. Never forget that. Yeah,
so you learn, I guess. I always like the little
poppers and the snakes.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
The snakes always rum the sidewalk down. My mom will
get mad.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
I like the uh the little tanks, their little Japanese
tanks and you'd light them in the butt.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
And sometimes they would drive.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Sometimes they wouldn't, right, Yeah, but they'd always have the
little report. Yeah. The coolest ones I saw were aircraft carriers,
so like you put it in the swimming pool and
then had the little planes that would shoot off and
whizz away, like the ones that the they call them
UFOs with their planes and they would spit.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
I had that, but I didn't put it in water though.
Did it actually move?

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Yeah. You put it in there and it would cruise
across the pool.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Right by the river and I was riving and put
it in the river.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
Try, because we had them.

Speaker 5 (50:59):
I remember my dad used to buy like today, it
would be hundreds but you know, you'd buy like a
lot of fireworks, would laid them off in the road.
I can't really get away with that anymore.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Yeah, but all the fireworks stands are popping up though
for forth of July though.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
People around here, people around here already have the year around.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Yeah, I know, I'm just saying like I'm just saying,
like the ones four fourth of July that pop up
every year, that they're up and running ready to go.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
But yeah, they we'd do that, and we'd get all
kinds of them like that, and get all kinds of
fun ones like frogs that would hop around, and then
those like UFOs are.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Those are good? Yeah? Did you ever do the Roman
candles and shoot them at each other?

Speaker 5 (51:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Yeah, everything everybody does.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
Little rockets too. Yeah, we'd always put them in like
little PBC tubes or something, the rocket launcher at each other.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
And I can't do.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
My cousin had one. I remember, I was young, and
I remember he came in the house because somebody shot
one at him and like stuck in his leg. Geez,
I don't think you're really stuck. I think it just
burnt to his leg and like melted.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
I mean fireworks are pretty dangerous though. I went to
Germany in college and we were there the day after
Christmas through New Year's and we went down and went
to one of the local like areas to gather for
festivals and stuff. And they don't have like coordinated like
firework displays like we do in the US. Everyone would

(52:28):
just bring their own and just be shooting over and
like the area. No, like they knew that this happens
every year, like they put netting to protect the buildings
and stuff like that. And I remember waiting for the
you know, New Year to come in and someone shooting
off these like Roman candle like ones. I remember like
one of the mortars like clipped me in the ribs,

(52:50):
bounced off of me and flew over and exploded like
this girl's face. Yeah, but that but that was just
like everywhere it was. It was like a war zone.
It was crazy.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
And then and then the New Year would be in
and three two one and have a new Year, but blah
blah blah blah, and then everyone would fire off what
they had left and then it'd be done and then
have the street cleaners and it'd be all cleaned up
in like twenty minutes, like it was like it never
even happened.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
It was insane.

Speaker 5 (53:18):
I mean that's kind of They would kind of be
that in two rivers a little bit. At the fireworks,
people would just launch their own too, sometimes at the
regular ones.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
But it's like it's just kind of funny, like you
have be a little rinky dink. Yeah, the big mortar.
That's like you.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
Have like, oh, you laid in one of the little
fountains that shape like a cold It's just like.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
And then this, and then the city has their like
fifty pounds mortar show.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
Boom. Well, now people like don't always even they do
like drone shows to make them look like fireworks. Yeah too.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
But you ever ever been to like a coordinated firework display,
like with music, like the fireworks music.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
Yeah, yeah, they did that. They do that at the
park here. They used to. They'd have like an orchestra
that would be playing along to the fireworks.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
I remember going to a show in Itasca, Illinois, and
I want to say it was Peter Frampton. They had
like legitimate concert, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
Frampton Comes Alive.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Yeah. It was cool, like and and all the fireworks
were synchronized to the music. I mean, it was a
really expensive firework display, but Itaska is kind of a
pretty rich city, so they did fundraisers, they had the
concert all that stuff, so I mean, that's not they
paid for it. But yeah, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (54:44):
Right, that's cool.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
I am.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
I've never actually seen like fireworks go crazy in real life,
like a finale, like well, like I mean, like you
know where you see these accidents online all the time
where it's like they have like municipal fireworks that went wrong. Yeah,
I was always freaking me out, Like when you're there,
I'm like, oh man, this could sucks. I was like
to be far away just in case. But other than that,

(55:10):
I enjoy them. I am trying to think. I'm trying
to think of all the times I've been burnt by fireworks.
Usually it was like we used to the stupidest thing
I ever did is when my dad had some fireworks
and stuff, and he always had this torch, like just
like a blow torch, yeah, like yeah, yeah, and that's
what he always used to light everything. And he put

(55:33):
up a bunch of funnels and he lit them, and
there were ones that shot like maybe ten feet in
the air, and then I tried to jump them with
my mopad. I could just see you going over the ramp,
no offense going over the ramp, the ramps snapping. No,

(55:55):
it was kind of like Napoleon Dynamite where it just
collap like it just fell over because I didn't build
a very good ramp.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
Yeah, and you can't get air on well.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
I would sometimes try to do like BMX tricks with it,
you know, like I do like a foot plant, try
to spin it around, and you can't. That doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (56:16):
So that was always fun.

Speaker 5 (56:17):
But I think the worst I ever got burned from
something is I had a pellet gun like a pistol
and you could put the two cages. Yeah, and so.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
You got a cold CO two burn Nope.

Speaker 5 (56:33):
Well no those suck. Yeah, I've had those before, but no.
I I had set like a fire pit.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
I don't remember.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
That was probably like fifteen.

Speaker 5 (56:44):
And I set like a fire pit of like wood
and stuff, and I put a lot of gas on it.
And then I took my pistol from the pellet pistol
and I had lit a match and then I put
it inside in the front oh geez, And then I
shot it and when I shot it, it hit like

(57:06):
a fence post. And came back and went right down
my shirt.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Make sure cut on fire. Oh my gosh. I definitely
had my fair share of weird pyro charades. Like we
we would go camping, uh with my dad. In one
time we found this like little catapult, like medieval times
catapult with little plastic cannonballs. So we'd put a little

(57:33):
bit of tiki torch fluid in the cannon ball holder.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
And then it would shoot in and it would go
pretty far. It's funny like if you were at a
distance and you weren't like in the group, you just
hear everybody like quie quie quiet pew. You just need
this little light fly through this guy. Also that trip,
we also had the idea of filling up a cannon
mountain dew with tiki torch fluid, putting it in the fire.

(58:01):
Yeah that was cool, not good, but cool. So it
was like a put it in the fire and it
just shot a column of flame up into the sky
and everybody in their chair stuffed that. I had this
this heating chair that had like an ethanol like gel.
It was made out of corn, but it was.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
A corn chair.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
It was a chair was made out of corn. The
fuel for it was. It was like this gel and
we used to mess around with that stuff like all
the time.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
Is this like Sterno like it?

Speaker 5 (58:30):
Yeah, it was similar.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
It was very similar.

Speaker 5 (58:32):
You could go up Sternal, I suppose. And I know
one time I lit it and you couldn't see it burning,
like is it even burning?

Speaker 4 (58:39):
And I put my finger and then I.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
Pulled it out and everybody was laughing, and I'm like,
what's so funny, and like my whole hand was like
on fire.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
Jeez. Yeah, but you'd be kind of safe for a
little bit because it's burning.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
Yeah, I didn't realize it. It didn't hurt or nothing.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
Then. Also, I was like a put it up.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
If you could put it out, you could put it up.

Speaker 5 (58:59):
There was no kind of thinking of Gil And I'm
just kind of going off on tangents a little bit.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
You ever take an army man and light on fire
because the plastic would do this really weird thing where
you go as it drips really yeah, try maybe do
that one like.

Speaker 5 (59:16):
It would make noise. Yeah, it's cool, And I never
did that. I used to set them up.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Don't try these things at home, kids.

Speaker 5 (59:21):
I would set them up and shoot them with like
my baby guns like that sometimes, but like the plastic
armyment like the traditional ones, you'd like light their gun
on fire and then hold them so it like drip
like candle wax and go and the flame would drop too.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
Well.

Speaker 5 (59:35):
I've seen I've seen that where like plastic stuff mounts
and it's on fire and drips.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
But it makes it sound. It goes like, that's.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
Weird, crazy, that's wild. My parents when they used to
have their supper club and stuff like that, it was
in Norman, Wisconsin. Hi Norman, Yeah, And we used to
have a like chicken brosters and we had just changed

(01:00:04):
the oil in it, so it was all nice and
clear and everything, but there was like a plug on
the bottom that was apparently missing, and one of the
people that worked there had put a rag or something
in the plug at the bottom so you could see
it and it wasn't dripping too, which was weird and
I didn't understand. But then my sister was kind of

(01:00:28):
doing something in the kitchen or whatever, and her and
my brother were like arguing about something, and he looked
down into the broster and he was like, who put
a rag down in there? And then he put his
hand in to get the rag.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
But the broster had been on for.

Speaker 5 (01:00:44):
A while.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
And he made a screens.

Speaker 5 (01:00:49):
Out and he made a scream shound. No, but as
soon as he put his hand in it made that man.
Then he pulled his hand out. He didn't get burned
very bad. Really, No, it wasn't too bad. He liked
just pulled it out right away or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
He probably smelled good.

Speaker 5 (01:01:03):
Yeah, it smell like now. But then my sister was
like streching theodor because they stuff like that to each
other at the time. So yeah, it's kind of cool.
It's kind of cool talking about fireworks. We started off
but talking about water parks and ended on fireworks. Yeah,
I mean you stop to do a comedy tip. We
didn't even get there yet. Yeah, we should really do that.

(01:01:25):
What should we do?

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
We should? How about we end on a comedy tip?

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
Did I do that?

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Okay? I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:01:32):
Like maybe if people in the industry are like talking
to you and like giving you accolades or things like that,
you should take them seriously and use them. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Yeah, yeah, because I mean you hear from different people,
like you'll hear from a touring headline or whatever, and
they'll say, oh, I really like that joke or or
hey you did a great job, you're a great host
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
Don't blow it off like taking.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
I mean, there is the aspect of you know, they
always say like if a comedian tells you a.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Good set that they don't mean it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:06):
They don't mean it. But I mean I do when
I say it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:02:09):
Same, I mean if I don't say it, it doesn't
mean you didn't have a good set. It's just but
if I do say it means a really good set, right. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
It's always kind of weird too, write like after you
do a set and everyone like does the fist bumps
and stuff, and sometimes they don't or whatever, But it
almost seems like, you know, even when people have a
bad set, they're looking for the fitst bump.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
They need that so bad. You ever notice that. I
definitely have noticed it more recently, Like people will do
a set and like they'll get clapped off stage or whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:02:40):
Somebody who had a rough one, and yeah, you're right,
it kind of came and it was like.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
Give me a fist bump. I need it. I need
it so bad. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:02:48):
Yeah, but yeah, I guess that's you know, if you
do get like a notable person tells you, hey, you're
really good.

Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
You should do something with this. Try not like don't
let it go to your.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
Head, but also but do take it seriously.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
Seriously and use it and don't like throw it away.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Right, Because I was gonna say, the one that comes
to mind that you recently got was when Rick Diaz
said that you should come down.

Speaker 5 (01:03:14):
Yeah, and he signed his little poster ands and come
to kill Tony. Yeah, he still hasn't gone to.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Kill ton right, But again, kill Tony is so hard
to like necessarily like, oh, I only have one Monday
to get down there.

Speaker 5 (01:03:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
To think that you're gonna even get on is like insane.

Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
He made it sound like he's like Golder and tell
him I told.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
Her to get on and now get on, which that
that might actually be a legitimate possibility. But how many
people does he maybe tell that too?

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
Yeah, well I have a poster that I can show.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Yeah, show Tony Tony. Rick Diaz told me to get on.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
Yeah, and he told me to get in there. Actually,
I was just talking to him yesterday Tony or yeah
about it getting a knife for him getting his knife.
I was asking what he wants on It showed me
some symbols and things you want on there and some
other stuff. And it was funny because I was like,
I want to have it done. Here are police. I

(01:04:08):
want to have it done by the time you're back
in Wisconsin in a couple of weeks. Oh yeah, he's
at the end of July.

Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
Yeah. And then he messaged He's like I'm coming back there.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
And then I was like yeah with Aaron boy well
because I said I want to have it for when
I see you next. And then I said when you're
back in Wisconsin in a couple of weeks. And then
he was like okay, cool man. And then he was like, wait,
I'm coming back there. And I was like yeah, like
in July. And then I when I grabbed the screenshot

(01:04:42):
from the comedy club or whatever, and I was getting
ready to send it to him, and a sudden he's like, oh, yeah,
I thought I was.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
In New Guinea that week or somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
He thought he was somewhere else, like as far as
possible from Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
He's like, oh, yeah, I guess I will be back. Okay,
see you then yeah, so all right.

Speaker 3 (01:05:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:05:02):
So basically, if people give you, you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
Know, a shout out, an accolade or something. Take it seriously,
do something with it. Don't just feel it brushed off.
Like people like to see you know that you are
professional and and and then that it's kind of like
leaving a review in a sense too well.

Speaker 5 (01:05:22):
Yeah, and like if I would be notable at something
and I told somebody like, hey, you're good at this,
you should take it seriously. You can really do something
with it, and then they don't, that's insulting. Yeah, you know,
if it's a waste of talent. I mean, if they
said like, no, you know, I'm good where I'm at whatever,
that's one thing. But if they're just like oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
Like if that's what they actually want to pursue, like
to do it full time, be on the road, that's
or whatever it is.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
Even if it's just like painting and somebody who paints, swell,
so you paint really well, you should continue to paint.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Right, and you're like.

Speaker 5 (01:05:58):
No, yeah, I mean I feel like I noticed that
with a lot more people, like they just there. I
don't know, maybe they're just not confident or what, but
they just they don't want They're like, no, I'm not good,
and then they don't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Anymore, and it's like, why you were great?

Speaker 5 (01:06:11):
Right? I don't know, right, well, I think people think,
you know, if it's not instant gratification, instant I'm where
I want to.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
Be, then it's yeah, it's yeah, gotta work at it.
Like that whole ten thousand, ten thousand hours to master
or something. I mean, that's legitimate.

Speaker 5 (01:06:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure. Okay, can I find a
ten thousand hours yet?

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:06:42):
And either probably a yeah, it might be with mini golf.
I don't know, to start to gage a lot of
time if you think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
Yeah, I mean, been playing mini golf barrels, but being
serious and competitive really since twenty seventeen.

Speaker 5 (01:06:55):
But today it's kind of related to that. Somebody did
some math on that. And if you do whatever it is,
you're after ten minutes at a time, three times a
day or something. I don't remember, it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
Was thirty minutes a day. Whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:07:15):
Man, I should have had that prepared because it was
actually really it was actually really good and motivating because
like say that ten thousand hours, you're like Jesus, Okay,
so I work forty hours a week, damn it takes forever,
and my weeks last so long and only one hundred
and sixty eight hours in a week, right, Yeah, and
you have to sleep and eat well and usually like
that's what it was like is for me, like if

(01:07:36):
somebody says ten thousand hours automatically, like okay, I work
fifty hours a week, some of those weeks takes forever, yes,
Like it's just like where's the weekend, you know or whatever,
and then you kind of get bogged down just by
thinking like, wow.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
That's my entire life to get to that two thousand hours.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
Yeah, but then I don't remember. There's like it was
something along lines. I don't think it was the ten
thousand hours, but it was basically like if you do something,
you work at something fifteen minutes a day during the week,
and somebody during the weekend by such and such time
you'll have it mastered or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
I'll look it up and which I don't talk about it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Next I'm looking forward to hearing about what that is,
because like at least with comedy, like every day I'm
doing ten minutes of writing as soon as I wake up.
It doesn't necessarily mean I'm writing a full joke or whatever,
but like I'm jumping right into writing just my thoughts
ideas in general and building on that. And even though
ten minutes doesn't sound like much now that I've been

(01:08:36):
doing this for four and a half years, I started
doing the ten minutes a day yep, my second year
in Yeah, I'm getting so much stuff all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:08:44):
And that's kind of what I was doing last year.
I had set like a New Year's resolution that I
was like, I was gonna write two minutes of new
material every day.

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
I mean that's hard, like actually writing two minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:09:00):
Yeah, yeah, And it was just a goal, like even
if I didn't get two minutes, that's what I was after, right,
And I get a lot more material out of it now.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
I just randomly kind.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Of right, whenever you're in the zone or whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
Yeah, things will pop into my head or I do
it a lot when I'm driving in the car taking
a shower. So you're laughing at what I said on stage,
I might have brought it either naked or pooping or
driving driving naked and pooping all three hours. It was

(01:09:33):
the seat warmer Jesus poop in my car.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Yes, you did. We talked about this. He said you
that you might have been the last year.

Speaker 5 (01:09:43):
The Batman movie twelve or whenever that came out. All right, yeah,
