and with me.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
As always, is is it me? It's you? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I get I get why you might be confused.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Though I thought it was being replaced. Well no, but.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's been demanded, demanded, been request the emails, everything, the
messages have been unstoppable.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I like how you're kind of de escalating the demand.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's been well yeah, but well everything has just been
insane that we if you can already hear.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Them mini co hosts junior co host junior co host.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
We have mister three year old Maverick. This Mavericks moment,
like moment, what do you want to say, buddy? He
has become klingon stacko.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Did you just like ask those aliens that are Yeah,
he was watching Spider Man on TV. Those aliens that
we're talking about like last week, are they coming now? Like, well,
just declare war.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
No, I've been I've been like looking into that like
a lot. It's like one like all these things are like, oh,
scientists say like it's alien, it's not from this world.
We have an alien in the in the background and
still doing here. I'm down Maverick that it is. It's
basically a comet. There's no aliens. There's like so much

(02:55):
stuff about it, and it's not even going to come
that close to Earth. It's gonna be like closer to ours.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
So just it's like just normal people overhype something.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
And then well and yeah, because one guy was like,
oh because of the speed and it's coming with the
sun to its back, and it continues to kind of
follow the sun so we can't see it and stuff
like that. It must be intelligent. But all other indication
is it's just a comet all right, which is cool?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Or are they hiding it so that we don't have
to worry about it and then they'll be here.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It was supposed to be here in November, and then
all of a sudden it was like no Halloween, and
now it's like week and a half. The universe is
crazy him, Maverick, what are you eating?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Crackers?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Are they Wendy's baconator cheese?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Its? Yeah, so we have some Wendy's baconator cheese.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
It we're going to try on the air here. Maverick
has been devouring them.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah. He cracked them open, yeah, like immediately.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Well, we were getting them ready so that we don't
hear all the you know as we're opening and I
know I did, and Maverick just has been diving in
and eating them.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Certainly left. Yeah, there's a lot left. Okay, I'll get
to try some.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's probably almost as many on the floor as there
is in the box. But we were gonna give them
a yeah, we we were waiting to be on air.
But mister Maverick just dove right in. Okay, you want
to eat one, Maverick, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
On a smoky bacon. You eat one, so the right,
I'm bacon.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
And then when you're done eating it, tell everybody on
the podcast what do you think about it?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Wow? What do you think?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Halloween cookie all gone? Halloween cookies are all gone?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
All right, well there we go my swhere.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay, okay, did you like it?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
What's it taste like?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Like shopping creep away? Yeah? You know, orange and green
tastes like orange and green, strawberry something yellow, orange and green.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Does it tastes like a baconator? Can you say say baconator? Maybe? Yep,
say baconator.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Bacon here? Good job? Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Can you say hid to cash? You didn't say hid
to cash? No, like say high cash as his mouth
is stuffed with Baconator cheeses. So anyway, my thoughts on
the baconators, yeah, my thoughts on the baconat or cheese its, yeah, maveriges, yes.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Mine not.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, they're bacony. They're smoky, but they're not a ton
different than like the bacon cheese its they had a
mile ago. They're heavy on the cheese it, which is
good because it's the cheese it.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Right. Did you ever get that uh mendela effect on
cheese its were spelled differently? You think it is because
it's c h E e Z little cheese it cheese
it icon as a hyphen and an I and an it.
That's how I've always thought it. Well, I thought it
was cheese. It's like it was plural. I always thought

(06:14):
it was cheese it. Yeah, I thought it was plural too,
I guess see. Okay, alright, no, I like him too.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, yeah, cheese it's because that's how Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Know unless they're saying it's a verb to cheese it.
Maybe che it.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
He's the one who told me that there's a cheese
at pizza, right.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, it's actually pretty good. I liked it.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I know when they had them at Taco Bell and
they had like that cheese it, I think it was
a count trapuntrap and then like a toast.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't like it at the Taco
Bell thing because it really didn't feel or taste cheese it.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
To me, it just looked like crispy it that got
soggy after. Yeah, he likes McDonald's when he goes to
the grocery store.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Wow, I must not be around like little children enough
to know like the language that they speak, because I
do not catch any of this until you repeat it back,
and I'm.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Like, he is sounds like he is talking a little
bit more gibberish and a little bit more with like
a baby accent than he normally.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, it's an accent. I did an accent. It's an
accent like like doing like the the w's like widdle,
I'm just a way, I'm just widow.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I thought it could be a speech impediment too, once
you're certain age. But but no talking about McDonald's. Did
you see the new McDonald land meal.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, oh, I didn't see it.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's like an adult happy meal kind of thing. It
comes with like a tin. He's handing your cheese. When
a toddler hands you cheese, it you take it. But anyways,
it comes with like a tin with different like collectibles
in it from like McDonald land, like nostalgia stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Also like like Grimace and yeah, Hamburglar.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
And then you get to choose if you want quarter
pounder or chicken McNuggets. I don't remember, oh, man, I
thought that was going somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
We almost got our profanities.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, we almost got our explicit Yeah, explicit warning warning
and I and it wasn't me this time we have
But yeah, you get with nuggets or a quarter pounder.
I don't know if you get a special sauce or not.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
But the thing that goes with it is like this
neon shake that's a McDonald l and shake. It's blue
and then has like neon pink whipped cream on top. Okay,
which doesn't People have said it's kind of cod candy flavored.
People have said it's berry. You probably shouldn't try.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
It, you'll kill you. But it's just weird that it's like,
why that color color combination? Why wouldn't it be like
red and yellow? I don't know right, which I don't
I mean, which could be like cherry strawberry man No,
I don't know, strawberry banana if they can get the
color combination right, right?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Mac said, somebody what we gotta say?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I don't don't. Yeah, you're right. Your dad is probably
gonna win tomorrow at the Asha's Funniest Comedian. You're right,
I agree? Is that what you think? Maverick yeah, yeah,
I'm starting to learn.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, there's a lot of jewison there that I didn't
even know what. He's just making noise. Well, I just
thought I was learning how to speak whatever. Just before
we came up, okay, stop for a second, buddy. Just
before we came on, he was very like, is Cash here?
And I'm like, not yet. He's on the way.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I wanted to do a podcast, and I'm like, okay,
we can. We can probably do the podcast. That's fine.
I got funny stuff. And I'm like, you got funny stuff? Yeah,
like poopy buttholes or something. I don't remember what said.

(10:09):
I Hey, are you are you still potty training?

Speaker 1 (10:13):
How's that going? I got pie under wreath?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
He's got he's got potty underwears on my dad's show you. No,
you don't have to show us.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's okay. Are they like pop or something or what?
Jenny House? Yeah, Jenny's House.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Here we go again, Jenny's House.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I feel like this is kind of like Peewey's playoffs
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
What happened at Jenny's house? Knocks?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Bit you who's knocks?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
We shouldn't even say name. We'll give a different name.
Uh yeah, Aaron Rodgers bit you.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Pay it?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Paying it apparently didn't I that Aaron Rodgers bid him. Okay,
you shouldn't call people out on the air like that.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's just great. That's allegations. Great. Now I have to
edit our podcast now, forty six episodes in, I have
to edit it for the first time.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, he's dropping allegations over here. That probably not even
a real kid's name. You want to sit on the
couch while you're done? You're done talking? Do you want
to go in the house? Why that couch? You don't
want to talk more? Well, here, say something to the

(11:36):
people again. Tell us get Dean barg Doodoo Dean Berg.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Okay, we'll end on that. Okay, leave that here though.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
You gotta let that sit here.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Do you want the cheese? Its? You're gonna bring the cheese.
It's with you, all right, by jess? What's mine? Do
you want to you want to go in the house?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh, okay, I gotta bring the now sor right? Yeah,
he's the cool if he takes cheese, it's yeah, yeah,
all right, I'll be back. So monologue, I guess or
whatever you want to do.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Well, I think we'll actually pause.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay, try that and okay, we're gonna try something here, folks,
this is new. We're gonna bring Maverick in the house
and we're just gonna pause.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yep. Okay, so you guys did.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Have It's gonna seem like instaneous to you, but I
don't know how long it'll be for us.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
So it might be hours, days, months.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
See you in a second. Because he's trying to open
the door.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
All right, bye, no, not by, not by, see you soon.
All right, it looks like we're back. Now, we are back.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Maverick went home.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
As he's leaving and he's opening the door, he's like,
all right, time to go home now.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, And if you don't, if you don't know, the
studio is my home, it's like my Like we literally
stepped into the driveway about eighteen steps boom, we were.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
In the house. Yeah. It was like he was at
the office and he's like, I'm done with work. Well yeah,
when we.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Got inside to it was funny because he's like he's like,
hey mom, Mom, I'm done. I've got cheesies. Because he
took the entire box. He had a death grip on
that thing.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, I mean, he must be your kid. Bacon. Yeah, yeah,
because that is your favorite sandwich at Wendy's, right or No?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well, what I always do is because I'm usually conflicted, Okay,
I get a Dave's double and a baconator and then
I'll eat one or the other. Because McDonald's is one
of the only McDonald's. Wendy's is one of the only ones.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Did you really just confuse the love of your life?
No and the clown.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
No, Wendy's is really one of the only fast food
restaurants that I feel like you can like put it
in refrigerator and have it the next day and have
it the next day, like heat it up a little bit,
and it's almost almost exactly the same. But baconators really

(14:03):
like heat up. Well okay, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Was gonna say, because I would almost argue McDonald's is
that way, because have you seen that like Swedish museum
that has like like the last quarter pounder or big
it was a big Mac, the last big Mac that
was ever sold in like Sweden, and it's in a
glass acrylic display and it looks almost well that's the same.
That's different. I mean, like I I found you're saying,

(14:27):
like actual reusability yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, and it's in a baconator is great for breakfast
well bacon. Well, it's not much different than if you
get like a breakfast burger sure or something you know, well,
but yeah, it works really well. But anyways, Yeah, in
the house, he's like, I got cheesies and he's sitting
there just eating them. And then I'm like, can I
take another handful before I go? And he's like hmm okay,

(14:53):
And then I took someone and came back out.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
I bet that box is gonna be empty by the No, no,
he'll get He'll get cheese it fatigue.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
No, I mean his his mom will just say like nope, nope,
that's enough, dude. So he was actually better off out
here because.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
As long as he was.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Sitting here talking, I was letting him cheese it.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I mean, you know, great, now you're giving away your
your parenting secret.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well he he, well, he first he was like he
wanted to sit on the couch that's behind here, the
leather couch, and then uh, he did walking towards the
door and he's like, I'm gonna go inside. I don't
go home. I don't know if he thinks he's coming
back out though, because as I was headed out the door,
there's something from inside. A voice yelled something about blah

(15:45):
blah blah blah back to the podcast later. So I
don't know if it was like episode I think it might.
I think it might have been like, Okay, have fun
back at the podcast.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
See you later or something.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I don't know. He was just a voice and I
said what and then silence. I'm not sure what was
going on there.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
All right, he's just like waiting at the door. I
want to go back now. He might be he was.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
He was a lot more talkative this time. Yeah, but
a lot of gibberish, like.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
I understood it perfectly. After you just you you like
basically like, uh broke the cipher for me, and then
immediately I knew everything he was saying.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, he was saying some stuff. I mean, I was like, Okay,
what do you want to say to the people before
you go? Do Do Do Do do Deemburg. It's like
he was introducding me back to the podcast, like he's
he's like, okay, the podcast is yours again, sir. It
has become mine and now it is yours.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'm not gonna lie. It would be kind of funny
if it was like he talked, he said hi and
then left, and it would be like the Maverick Moment
song plays longer.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
And he was yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's one of these times,
because he he might to let him come on every
single time he says he wants to, but one of
these times he's gonna come and he's But I wish
he would just talk like he does in the house
because he's very cogitive, very articulate.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Imaginative probably too. Yeah, seems seems like he's got like
all these great ideas. He's just like bursting ready to
explode with them.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah, he's for his age, he's definitely advanced.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
You're gonna have him to do a three year old
open mic maybe. Have you seen the like the the
one thing online right now where it's like doing And
it's not that they're bad, it's just it's just like
it's that, like we've talked about before, it's like that
way too overscripted. It's not conversational.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, and I get it because there are kids, and
I'm going to rip on little kids trying to do something.
But yeah, it's like street jokes and.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
And just like not finished thoughts. There too, But it
is cool, like they're getting the experience of one being
filmed professionally. It's not just like somebody on an iPhone.
It's like legit film in a club in front of
an audience, and you know there it definitely feels like
it's way more funnier live than on film, and they

(18:19):
it's just almost always true. But like it's cool that
they're getting that experience so young, like they have the
opportunity to get way better. They do.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
But my concern with that is is they've got they're
they're definitely protected on stage, you know, like if a
kid is up there just bombing.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, they're not. You know, I stuggling and people are.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Still gonna laugh, you know, and I could see where
a child, if not properly coached, and you know, could
end up really really like ego egotistical, getting smoke, blowing
up their shirts.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
So much that guys, if I can see this all,
then I know you guys can't see this, but if
you could have just seen the gears turning in Dean's
brain as he's trying to figure out what he wanted
to just say right there, like I'm definitely smelling smoke
and it's not just from the bacon et or cheese it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
I was trying to, you know, be very careful and.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
He doesn't want me to make it into a South Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
But no, like like their perception and their expectation, you know,
might be a certain way, and I mean that could
break a kid.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Well yeah, I mean like some of the shows that
we've done in the crowds that we've been in front of, oh,
absolutely brutal. And we're and you know we're somewhat mentally
stable adults. Right, Okay, so I said someone you know,
like if you're every time you're going up there and
everyone's cheering and applauding, and you get to a crowd

(19:51):
like that, I mean, yeah, that could be CATSHT traphic
breakdown right.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Well yeah, because a kid cann't say anything. It doesn't
even have to make sense.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Right, And it's it's it's not so much about the
content then, it's more about the effort and the performative
part of it.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
And my other concern is like exploitation.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
You know, like you know, do they get the rights
of their stuff? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Do they get the money?

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Are their parents?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know? Just like you know, like pageant moms, you know,
are there comedian moms?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Wait? Wait, are we going to be like like if
if well your kids? Yeah, is Maverick going to be
like the new Honeymoon?

Speaker 2 (20:30):
No? No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Are you sure he's got this Maverick moment. He's got
his own his own title song. He's performing is the
second episode? He's coming back, He's coming back, he's a repeat.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Well, I like, I like giving him exposure to it too,
you know, so if it's something he wants to do, yeah,
go for it.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, go for it, and.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
You know, give him, give him a little practice. Like
when I was growing up, I didn't have a way
to express myself, you know, like played outside because of
stuff like that. My parents got a video camera probably
when I was like ten, and then I we'd do
stupid wrestling matches and you know, stuff like that. And

(21:15):
but at a very very young age two, I would like,
I think I talked about this in the air before,
like I would I would perform in front of my family, right,
you know, just doing emulating comics I saw on Bobby
Ye Bob and Bob Nelson stuff and trying to remember

(21:39):
who else I've done as a kid, some Judy Tanuda
do you know you know, yeah, yeah, And I do
that all that sort of stuff, a little bit of
Rodney Dangerfield re enacting things from movies and stuff like that.
And it would literally be like, okay, Dean, come inside. Know,
all the other kids stay outside, and I'd go and see.

(22:01):
And then they'd all be sitting there in the living
room with all the chairs around and me dead center
in the middle. Okay, do your thing.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Do it, do the thing, do it?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Do it?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Do it? Do it, do the thing.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
And then I would do stuff and they would laugh,
and I already kind of get like a little bit
of a performance high there until until I was starting
to get a little bit older, and I'm like, Okay, guys,
I'm not your freaking monkey. Yeah, I'm not your freaking
government mule out here. That's just gonna do this whenever
you want me to do it. I'll do it when
I want.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Take control of your your performance. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, Because I don't think there's anybody in my family
at all that is surprised that I'm a comedian.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Did you have an agent then when I was little? Yeah?
Did you have an agent?

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Like?

Speaker 1 (22:47):
All right, Dean's performing, Uh, after supper tonight. I don't
know who talks like.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
His name was TJ.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
TJ.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
And he was just a kid that was like two
years younger than me, or like a year younger than me.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
He wear a suit and he's like always on his Uh. Well,
I guess cell phones wouldn't have been like crazy. It
would have been like the big ones, right.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Like yeah, yeah, Well, actually my brother had one when
they first came out, and it was like a regular
telephone receiver with the cord and everything that would.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Go to a box and you would.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Wear it like a strap like over your shoulder, okay,
and then the box would be there and you had
to turn it to certain channels, your frequencies or whatever,
and then you would dial it and then you know, hope.
I don't know what they answered, Well, the thing was
stupid because he paid like so much for it, and
no matter where we went, it never worked. I never

(23:39):
saw it work a single time.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Anywhere.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Like, he was significantly older than me, so he could drive,
and I was little, and he'd be like, oh, I'm
gonna call mom and dad and blah blah blah blah,
and he dial it and be sitting there and it
would just be like connecting, connecting, connecting thing, and the
thing would be going for like an hour and it

(24:03):
wouldn't like connect the ship and then and.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
By the time that like at that point it's like
maybe the person's already there that you're gonna call or whatever. Well, yeah,
and it was.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
It was just weird, like multiple multiple times he tried
to use it and never he would do.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, it works. I called people all the time, but
for some reason when I was there, no, maybe the
signals are bouncing off your.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Like he literally brought it into the house at my
parents' house and tried to call the home phone number
and nothing. And so it was it was like I
bet you like when he was probably nearer a bigger
city or something, it maybe worked well, but.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Sure, and they probably didn't have like the tower infrastructure.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
In the country. I think it used like radio towels.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, so I was just gonna say, like, did you
I forgot Weskins in herman.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I even brought kool aid out here every time I
make you. I think he's kool aid the ones you're squeezing.
I like the squeezy ones. No, I think they taste
different than the powder.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
No, they do, but there's zero calorie, no sugar, all
that stuff. So it's just the way to drink water
and get my kids to drink water.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
God.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Oh, but Maverick will have one all the time and
usually I'll be like, hey, you want some kool Aid
and he'll be like kool Aid.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
And he was like just doing it at supper a
little bit ago. He's like what kind and like cherry,
and I was like, yeah, you can have some. And
then he's sitting there and he put a straw in
the bottle and he'll drink some out of it and
then he'll be like cherry, oh yeah, or he or
he just screams it at the top of his lungs
and a toddler scream like sure, Like.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, why do you think macho man never got a
branding deal with kool Aid? Already had a kol Aid Man,
So when did the kool Aid Man come out? It
was it was oh forever decades, But for like, do
you think he got no? No, So I'm just saying, like,

(26:08):
there's that similarity in the sound, you know, we could
have been influenced it, and just subliminally I was like,
oh yeah, but I remember where I was going to
ask you about your brother's phone. Oh yeah, Like how
much was that? Like? Then? Was it? Was it a
small fortune? Like? Probably?

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Like I think he had to give a second mortgage
on his house, jeez like, and I think he got
it somewhere like whack like radio Shack.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
You got to tell people what radio Shack is, because Radio.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Shack was a store that was around through the eighties
and into the nineties. By early two thousands thousands died.
I just want to add that the guy that ran
the one in two rivers, it was a dick. Tell
you about that in a minute.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Did he then go on to found a company called
High Hot Soda?

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Probably broy Probably probably. But the Radio Shack they sold electronics,
radios and shacks and they sold them. They didn't they
wasn't a shocked they sell shacks.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
But they you know, they had like.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
VCRs I think, and receivers. They were kind of like
a best buy. No, it was because they didn't have
TVs or nothing. I don't think it was just.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Like like people destroyed their stuff and then they gave
them the parts. Like the people that destroyed their stuff
gave Radio Shack their parts and like what do you
give me for this three bucks? And then they'd sell
the parts individually for like yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
But they did have they did have some things there,
like r cars. The reason the guy back home was
a dick. I was probably like eight, maybe maybe maybe
a little younger.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I don't know. I feel like it was younger. But
there was a radio shack, I want to say, inside
like the little mini mall section of the grocery store.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
I think I don't remember what it was in, ok, yeah,
and my dad was doing something in the store next
door and they had like a little like display thing
with It was around Christmas time and they had.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Like these at the time. It was cool.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
But they had like these binocular looking video game things,
and you know, like those little handheld video games that
are just kind of whack where like the little LCD
guy kind of moves around.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Like some of the best ones they are.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
They're fun. There was one that was like binoculars and
it was like a battleship.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Kind of game it was, and you were firing torpedoes
or like boats and stuff. And I had one like
the first round of VR, and I was like.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Looking through it and I was like wow, this is cool,
and I'm like trying to get it to work, and
I can't see around me, and then all of a sudden,
I feel like a like to me, grab shoulder, you know,
like but like an asshole, you know, not like a
like hey, but like a iron clock kind of grabbed
my shoulder and he's like, have enough Christmas fatty. It

(29:14):
wasn't even fat then, probably made me fat he put
in my head, but he's like, have enough Christmas fatty.
And then I looked and it was the worker and
he's like, get out of here. And so then I
just kind of sadly moped away.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Worker or owner, worker, owner, I don't know somebody there.
This is the guy you're referring to as Dad, is
a dicky. I don't know his name, but I hope
he didn't have enough of an interaction to get it's.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Probably dead now, but anyway, he uh. Just as I
was walking out, then my dad came out of whatever
store he was at andore.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, I think it was a grocery store. It's so
I think it was, yeah, like the.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Grocery stores, little grocery store. And then it was almost
like a little mall and there was a radio shack
in it kind of kind of but you didn't have
to go outside or nothing.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Okay, So yeah, that's so that's where I was trying
to figure.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
And then my dad was just coming out to go
to radio shack, and so I went. My dad went
walking in and uh the guy uh, I was standing
there like almost in tears, not going in, and my
Dad's like, come on in, and I was like no,
and I'm like come on in, and my Dad's like

(30:34):
coming in and I'm like no. And then the guy
came walking over and he's like, can I help you?
And I'm like that man yelled at me, and then
the guy kind of looked at me and then looked
at my dad. And I don't remember a lot of
what happened right then and there, but I like to

(30:55):
think my dad beat the ship out of me, I know.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
My dad, or you did you blacked out so much.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
That'd be like Yoda just flying around doing crazy stuff
in the air, little guy beating up big guys. I
do remember that my dad kind of like poked him
in the chest and then kind of like not like
grabbed his collar like you know whatever, but kind of
was just like you.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Don't talk to myself. Well, he was just like, oh, yeah, Dad,
sounds like Sam Elliott.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
He was just gonna like, why'd you booked? You yell
my kid?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
And then the guy's like, oh I didn't.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I'm like, yeah I did.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
He told me gestor because I was fat, Oh you go,
my kid? Fat?

Speaker 3 (31:43):
What's going on here?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Is your dad? He's in radio checks.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Probably, And then he was just like, well, I didn't
we get these kids that come in here and they
play with stuff, and and he was like turn around.
And then I was just like okay. And then I
don't know that was it.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
I think he murdered the gud. No, I don't know what.
I just don't know what happened. No, my dad just
kind of was like oh. And then I do remember
like my dad came walking out and was.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Just like, no, we're gonna take our business elsewhere. We're
out of here. We're gonna take our business elves were
We're gonna go to uh Circuit City.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I don't think they had him yet.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
He's like, we're gonna go to uh Bob's Radio and
I want to buy a laser disc.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
We're gonna go to Radio Hut instead.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah, he's like, well, yeah, we're gonna go to Radio
Hut and I'm wanna buy that laser disc player I
want and then I'm gonna come back here.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Beat you over the head with it. No, I'm kidding, Well,
that seems kind of wasteful because you'd break the leader
disc player and you spend money on that.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
And yeah, there was a story that had him can't
remember whatever it was called, but no, actually really true
stories like yeah, my dad just kind of poked the
guy in the chest and was like, hey, what are
you doing yelling at my kid? You know?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
And the guy was like.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
And then my dad was like, Okay, we'll shop somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I liked your version, like of you looking back in time, rewatching,
rewatching your memory.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Could you see my eyes kind of just like it
wasn't like glazed.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I could It was almost like looking at a television
screen and I could see it replaying or a projector.
I could see it playing, kind of like in Christmas
Vacation when Clark gets stuck in the attic right and
he's watching the home movies. It was kind of like that.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, well and then it somebody from my family actually
worked there too, and went back the next day and
made a big shit fit about it too. Yeah, and
I don't remember who were what the deal was, might
have been my brother.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Did I ever say what I thought about the cheese
at pizza? I can't remember if I finished talking about that.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Maverick was making like so much noise.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
So cheese it obsessed, But I would say it is good.
I like the I got the pepperoni one, but you
got to make sure that it's like, yeah, like if
it's if it's under you're not gonna like it. But
it's it's if it's a little bit on the more
done side, a little toasty at toasty like they then, Yeah,
it definitely had taste of cheese, but it's nice and toasty.

(34:30):
Yeah it was good, Okay, all right, I'm just trying
to make sure we got that part out because Yeah,
I felt like Stan, particularly because he loves our our
food stuff, our talks and discussions about that, and he'll
he'll you know, he'll often try stuff with us too.
I felt like if I didn't say how the cheese
it pizza was, yeah, he would have been like, I
can't believe you just left me hanging like that on

(34:52):
the cheese peah.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, because our listeners do want us
to come back to topics.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, like you, we don't close the loop. Several that
are like opening the air. Yeah, I know we do,
I know we do. We have to go back and
listen and write them all down and then do enough
that'll be that that has to be like a special
episode where it's like unfinished business, right, bonus episode.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Right, I kind of want to put that together. I
keep looking at it.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Well, you're not gonna don't say on air what it
is because you're gonna do a video, right, I am
gonna do a video. Dean's got a new toy I
do that he was sent to him, and yet it
has a sample, it was sent free, and well I'm
also interested. I really want to play with it too, Like.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
I get if I tell you all the like little
cool things on the box, you probably give it away, all.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Right without saying the title. And then in that first
little icon on there, okay, it says what it is,
but just remove the second word and replace it with well,
no pickle, no no like.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
So I out of all the things in the box,
the ones that I feel won't give it away, easy
to use.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Well, I know, but that's why I'm saying, read all
of those and then just replace the second word in
the first one with pickle. Well, I think it would
be fun to hear how that sounds.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Okay, I'll let you do that in a second. Okay,
but it's like easy to use flame effect, forty plus
foot range, high power.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
So you could have just thrown what I say, because
it would have and still really good.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
And well, I just like it because that like, what
do you guys think I got?

Speaker 1 (36:34):
And do you think it'll put me in jail?

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:38):
You do your pickle easy to pickle, No, no, no, no,
pick let's stop stop. It's only it's only one time.
It's only fun time. It's realistic pickle design, easy to
flame effect, fore high power. You only have to replace

(37:01):
that one word that.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
One time, the one tile that I didn't say because
I thought it would give it away.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Okay, so we still did it.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
I know.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
But see they're not going to guess. Everyone's gonna guess
that it's anything but a pickle.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
So and all I gotta say is like forty foot range,
forty range of pipe power, flame effect, and people better
watch out.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, I mean, that thing looks sweet.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
It does it's sweet. I hope it's as good as
it is. Like it was just kind of one of
those things where they reached out to me on TikTok
and they were like, hey, wait, we want to partner
with you, and how.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Like I'm trying to figure out how that connection like
looking at what it is, I'm trying to figure out
how the connection is, like, hey, this looks like like
the pickle for you. I don't know. See, I'm gonna
keep calling it a I think it's I.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Don't know if they were just like we need someone crazy,
I'm not sure. They just like reached out the company.
It's on the other side of the box, but they
just reached out. And then they said they wanted to collaborate,
and then I said okay. And then they did have
a couple of different things to select which were similar,

(38:21):
and then I selected it. And then I got irritated
because if you've ever tried to get samples on TikTok,
you have to apply for them. I mean sometimes they
send them to you, but you have to apply for
them usually and then you have to wait for approval
and then usually it'll tell you like what the approval.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Rate is of that item, and.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
It, you know, is usually pretty low. But then it'll
say pending approval until it expires, and then it'll say expired.
Would you like to apply again? And then when you
want to apply again, you actually have to write the
company and like saying, oh, hey, but this one they
reached yeah. Yeah, And so that was kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
I think it's cool that it's actually a real thing
like that they reached out to you and it wasn't
like a scam because no, I mean I see stuff
like that's scamming all the time, like for people wanting
to do collab stuff. Yeah, and I'm like, I can't
really tell if you're a real person, and some.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Of those are just whack like dog shade thing and
it's just a tarp, you know or whatever. But they, uh,
so they reached out. And I've had people reach out
before and then I'll pick a sample and then it
goes through the approval process and then it expires and

(39:40):
then it's like then I get nothing.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
And this time I applied, like I didn't apply. They
reached out.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
I said I'll take boom that thing, and then it
wasn't even that long later, like within a couple of hours,
I just all of a sudden saw a little thing
pop up that it was like free sample proved. Oh cool,
you know, one hundred dollars value.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
I was just going to ask, like how long, and
I expected it to.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Take a long time to get here, to get here,
and I was just like, okay, I'm not gonna probably
see this thing till like December, and then well, just.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
On another note, like if you got that for Christmas
and you're like absolutely, I'm gonna try it, it has
a whole different yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
But anyway, so yeah, they it said it was approved,
and I was like, oh shit, that's cool because I've
got other things. But they're always like, oh, we want
to work with you, Oh, but this is We're going
to give you this at a sale price and then
you have to post a video about it and you
have to sell at least four of them and you'll

(40:50):
make your money back, you know, or whatever, because the
commission on them is so low. Commission on that bad
Boy's pretty sweet though.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yeah, and so they they said it was okay, and
then I figured it was take forever to come, Like
my guy's probably coming from China or something three days
bam quick, and I was like, it's here already.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
They were just waiting to get yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
I'm like, and it's what they said it was. I mean,
I haven't opened the box. Yeah, watch it.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Watch it is a jar pickles and I have.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
And then they give you like ten days or something
like that to make a video.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
I don't know what happens if you don't, like if
they're like, okay, now you have to pay for it,
or if you know, after ten days they're just give
you a bad rating so you never get free samples again.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
I don't know how it works, but I'm down to
four days.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
To put something together.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, well, I think it's it's gonna sell itself.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I was gonna say, I think not that. I mean,
you can do another one too, I guess. But maybe
after we're done recording, we should do unboxing.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Just I was actually gonna ask you that. I was
gonna ask because when I was like, hey, how early
can you get here?

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Part?

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Okay, but we can maybe do it after a while
some stuff's uploading.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah, okay, Yeah, I like that idea. I definitely want
to see that. Yeah, but that I don't know. I
just think it's pretty cool that for once, it seems
like one of those things actually panned out, because, like
I said, definitely get stuff all the time, you know,
and and for me, like with the mini golf stuff,
I'll get people reaching out for golf stuff and I'm like, oh, sure,

(42:30):
I'm curious to tell me more about it, and then
it just goes from like like almost directed, like they
actually know who I am, like with stuff, like you know,
they know stuff about me. It's not like literally in
my bio or something like they researched it. And then
I'll reach out and then it goes right to robot
style and I'm like yeah, yeah, and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Okay, well I totally missed one.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
I was going to say you had one that they
heard the podcast that we were talking about.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Conflict of interest.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Conflict of interest. I couldn't do it right, Yeah, but
it was cool, but I reached out. Yeah, and it
was a major company too, Like if I said who
they were, you don't. Yeah, I kind of wish I
could have done it.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Well, what can we just say the name and it
doesn't matter if we.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Yeah, yeah, I think we're finding to say the name. Sure,
it's Blue Bunny ice cream.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
They heard on the podcast like one of our early
early on episodes when I was back in Cheese. Yeah,
when I didn't see it, and.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Uh they uh, they were like, hey, we want to
collab with you and want to send you some stuff
where you can go to your store and get some
product and show it on to talk about podcast, just
talk about as a sponsor and blah blah blah blah blah.
And then I finally saw it and I was like,
conflict of interest.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Now, can't do it.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
I can't do it, unfortunately, But yeah, that's how that's
how it goes sometimes. But yeah, but it's always it's
it's almost like they need to on the social media
platforms have a separate channel for that kind of stuff,
and it was hidden, right, That's what I'm saying, Like
it almost seems like you have to be actively searching
through like spam and other stuff too, which sometimes it

(44:10):
gets put in there automatically. Yeah, you know, but like
it would just be nice if they were like, if
you like legitimate sponsorship, yeah, yeah, deal type stuff together.
I think that would be actually really useful.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
I was in my messages and I actually found it
one day after we had just done recording and I
was in my messages just going through them, and I
saw this section that was I don't know if it
was requests or approvals or what.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
It was called. I vaguely remember you like messaging me
at like three in the morning. Yeah, like, hey, blue
Bunny reached out.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Yeah, and I was like, dude, Blue Bunny reached out
to basically sponsored podcast, give us stuff that I can't
do it now.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yeah, And I was like the ice cream now, yeah,
and then you were like, well, can I just do it?
But it was like in my inbox, it was hidden.
And can you imagine though, if that was the episode
where they're and any stuff and you're like, I can't partake,
so I'm just over here eating ice cream. The entire

(45:06):
you're just like, oh, I bet that I hope that
ice cream tastes gross. Cash because I can't ate their
ice cream is okay. Oh, I'm just kidding. You can
say whatever you want. I don't feel like anyone is
gonna be like, oh, just because you work for this company,
you can't have other products. Ever, I don't. I'm very loyal. Yeah,

(45:29):
that's true, you did wait months for fond to black Wendy's.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
You go to another window to another Wendy's anywhere on
the road, drove past thousands, stayed in a hotel right
next to one.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
You can smell the Wendy's from your hotel room, and
you stayed loyal. I went to MC Krispy Kreme instead.
I mean, that is admirable that you're You're very brand loyal,
and I think for some things for sure, like I'm
definitely a Stuart's Grape soda brand loyal. I really try

(46:00):
not to do other grapes. Like if someone's like you try,
I'll try it. But it's really hard for me to
be like, yeah, that's gonna beat Stuart's, you know, like
if someone has one that is better, and it is,
I will admit that, But so far, I haven't really
had anything come close to it.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
I'm not huge in the grape soda necessarily. I know,
I know, I mean you're like, guy, yeah, surely, guy,
But I you know, I do. I've had several and
Stuart's is probably the best one, which is crazy because.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
I see like people do like reviews of sodas and
stuff on YouTube, right, Yeah, and I'll specifically search for
like Stuart's grape soda review, and like almost everybody that
reviews them, it's like it's okay, but I'm like, what what,
what's what's your what's your go to grape soda? And
they're like Fanta, and I'm like, that's like the worst
grape soda. It's like grape juice. It doesn't even it's

(46:57):
not like you're very so what's your favorite?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
What's your favorite grape soda?

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Grape? Oh, that's kind of even worse than the Fonte
you right, Yeah, anything that starts with that f A
should not be grape soda. I guess now.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
I said, you're gonna SAE commercial Ladies and Gentlemen sponsor,
but you knew us as Stewart's, but now we are forwards.
Product immediately goes downhill.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
That's pretty funny grape soda. But I don't but do
like grape though I don't like I know you don't. Yeah,
it's I don't know, it just kind of weird aftertaste
to men grape gorilla. Yeah, I do like the logo
Mascoti part on it. I think that's great, Like, I
think it's it's fun but I don't know something about it,

(47:47):
and I know that that's their thing, right, is wood
fire or smoked or whatever? Did fire wood fire cooked? Yeah?
I just I don't know. The smokiness to the grape
doesn't work for me. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Well, I don't think there's actually even any smoking smokins now.
I think I think what you're thinking is and I
think that just.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Put liquid smoke in there. It's not even I think
I think.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
It's gone now. But I swear to God, like pandemic,
like just before the pandemic, they had ordered like a multitude,
like an unlimited number of like bottles, and they must
have had him in a warehouse that was dusty, because
I felt like there was always like this dusty flavor

(48:31):
that I didn't care for in like in their.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Little dust on the bottle, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
In their sodas. And then when they started putting things
in cans, I didn't taste it in cans anymore. And
then after a while it was gone. So that's my
only explanation is that they maybe had a bunch of
them that got dusty. And I know a little bit
of it, like soda canning and canning things like those
do go through a thing to get washed before you

(48:57):
use them. But you know, it's like maybe it just
left an aftertaste that was on the in the rim
of the bottle, under the cap.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I don't know. I will say I've had it occasionally
over over time frame of like a couple of years,
so I don't know necessarily if it's that. But I mean,
I would be willing to try it again. But I
think partly partially what makes Stewart's a great thing is
the cane sugar. Like anytime a soda has the cane
sugar versus the high fruit corn syrup or even another

(49:27):
sweetener like Spreckers honey honey. Yeah, because don't they have
a special like root beer honey root beer or no
maple birch beer or something like that. I thought it
was just making yeah, yeah, yeah, they have a special
addition like comes out usually in the fall. Yeah, it
seems like beer, I'm pretty sure. Okay, I thought maybe

(49:49):
it was a birch beer. Maybe that was just another
limited run.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Beers are man, I love birch beers, but it's hard
to find a good one.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
Okay, but I was gonna say I try it again.
But I just I feel like there's just something about
that taste in there that I don't know. It just
doesn't click for the grape for me. But I do
like their uh their cranberry one. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
The red Red Raven something like that. Yeah, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
They make high caffeinated rip beer too. Now oh my,
like an energy drink kind of rip beer from it's
got a big lightning bolt on it.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
And maybe maybe I don't know if they even do
the the grape and cans, but maybe I would give
that a shot, like when it cans.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
I've only seen the rip beer and then the orange cream,
and they did have a and uh cream regular cream.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
They had a sprecker like strawberry lemonade. I thought at
one point the Kyman cans. I thought they was pretty good.
Yeah they still have that. Yeah, I thought that was
pretty good. It was like it was like their high higher.
It wasn't necessarily more expensive, but they made it look
more high end.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Yeah, another energy rip beer or energy lemonade or something too.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
I thought that was pretty good. They've also got Doctor Sprecker,
which is like doctor Pepper, and then they have like
isn't it funny? How like every brand like because we
have the Fruity Pebbles uh liqu Death and they have
a Dr Pepper one. Isn't it called like.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Doctor Death Steve Williams the wrestler aware And then they
also have Citrus Mountain or something.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Yeah, which is like every single one and Citrus Mountain.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I don't know. Yeah, why why can't it just be like.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
Mister Pepper, mister Pib, Well, yeah, mister Pib.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Mister Pib is like Doctor Pepper that dropped out of schools.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
I love it too. I I don't like any like
Dr Pepper hot take.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
I'm gonna trigger. I shouldn't say we shouldn't use that
word hot take trigger. I'm going to upset, all.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Right, let's see many many many a listener, many a
listener with that. I'm about to say, Okay, I'm excited
kind of for one of you. What Doctor Pepper lover?
Sorry not sorry, PIB extra beats the ship out of
Doctor Pepper. Okay, okay, by a lot. It's just better.

(52:22):
What what's better about it? Because like I can, I
can specifically call things in Stewart's that I like better
than other ptas.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Whatever the twenty three flavors that are in Doctor Pepper.
And let's be real, it's like spice, cherry cold, get
out the freaking twenty three flavors bullshit.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Yeah, but well, well I would say that seems like
at the time actually kind of low. Right. Have you
ever seen like them create like Coca cola, like the
what was that like the Food Nation like where they're
going in the histories of it, and he's like making
like this like potion, yeah, with little like two drops
of this this this, So that's where they get the

(52:56):
like twenty three flavors from.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Like have a Doctor Pepper sometimes like it's not my
go to like at all. It's probably closer to the
bottom of my list of SODA's just because it's not
not my deal.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
It's not my thing. But pib Extra just slacks like
it's like it's got it's like all the flavors that
Doctor Pepper has, but stronger. It has the extra. But like, yeah,
like with like pizzazz.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
When the last time you heard somebody say pizzazz, he
said pizzazz Like it's it's better, like it beats the
ship out of it. In my opinion, it's just so
it could be like the same flavor but just strong
it is. But it's just like better done okay, you
know what I mean. Like it's just better done okay.
And that's why I like to think, like Okay, he
was mister pib tried to go to medical school, you know,

(53:51):
because his mom was like, why can't you be like
your brother Pepper. So he tried and Pepper again of
the accolades and became doctor got Dr Pepper. And then
mister Pibb was just like, nope, thing for me, man,
this ain't the life.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
This ain't who I am. You know, I'm a little
bit more. He's a newspaper boy.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
I'm not gonna do what you tell me to do.
He's like the rage against the machine.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
I'm getting. He became like a newspaper boy. He's like
extra extra reason.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
No, no, he just like he dropped out hit rock Bottom,
went through three or four divorces.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
His parents were just like, should have been a doctor
like your brother, and doctor.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Pepper is just like hen' look at me, I am
doctor Pepper. And then one day mister Pibb just was
like snapped and he was like, you know what, my
brother is an asshole and then bam, he reinvented himself,
became a rock star PIB Extra. And now doctor Pepper

(55:02):
is just sitting there writing stupid prescriptions.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
Same old, same old.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Same old, same old, you know, giving prostate exams, doing
whatever doctor Pepper does. And pib Extra is just out
there like and he's not like, you know, he's not
like got a bigger following by any means, but he's
definitely doesn't know, but he's just doing it better.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
Yeah, he's just doing it better. He's craft, he's he's like,
he's he's a he's the guy that you you book
on a show. Yeah that people. He doesn't have a
social media following, but man, can he deliver? That's what
you're going with kind.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Of yeah yeah yeah, Like he's just like, you know what,
I'm gonna start my own practice. I don't need the doctor's.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
License, a little bit wavering territory, and I'm gonna do
it better. And then Bami Extra, we don't even wipe
off our cans. Yeah, it's like, can you know what
PIB extra Mason John No, He's like he's like he's like,
pive extra is the version you do off a hooker's
ass geez peppers, would you drink at church? So if

(56:11):
that's anybody's wants a hot take, there's my hot take.
That's pretty good, pretty good. I like that. It kind
of gives me the thought of like Coca cola and PEPSI. Right,
those are the Those are the older brothers. They're doing
a great job that you're out there having fun. Everybody
loves them. They're popular in school. And then you got

(56:32):
younger brother that comes in Arci cola and you like
arc cola, okay, but he's all right, he's friendly. People
were like cool, but you're not as cool as your brothers.
And then at the bottom there you know their brother
that's just like, we're pretty sure he's adopted his diet, right,
and then and then walks in the uncola shaving up.

(56:56):
Hey guys, I'm seven you know, right, is a nerd.
I think that's how seven up would talk. Yeah, a
little nerdy. Hey guys, you still want him to help
with your homework though, he's down for that.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
And then and then uh, let's see, uh Sprite walks in.
Sprite's a little bit like sprite.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Hold on, hold on, hold on spray, hold on. Seven
Up is a dork. It's probably like, Hi, guys, no, no,
no spray, No, seven Up is a dork. Sprite is
a geek. Now we need a nerd. What Sierr missed Storry?
Yeah he's he's he's a nerd. Yeah, I thought seven

(57:40):
Up wasn't a nerd? No dork? Oh seven Up a dork? Yeah? Okay,
well what so it would be like, hey, guys, the jock, Yeah,
because that's gotta be root beer and mug Bulldog.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Yeah, I could see beer.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Isn't that Is that a brand? Dad's ruper? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:03):
But anyways, payback show.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Who's mountain mountain do the jock?

Speaker 2 (58:08):
No mount dude is more like the cool super cool kid.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Yeah, okay, SpongeBob mountain dew. That's cool. Okay, then what
about all the fruity soda is like the grape the orange?
Is that like drama drama music department? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Maybe, okay, I'd have to think about that a little
bit more.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
The arts.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Yea, they got flavor like orange soda, like crush. Yeah,
that's like the kid in your calculus class. That's like
does everybody's homework.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
No, that's the seven Ups, the Sprite and the story
crush just he's he's number one chair and he plays
he plays clarinet. He's number one chair, and and he's
not just playing clarinet like your classical music, Like he's
out there jamming.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
Like you know, I feel like we're losing people.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
They're they're trying to figure out how long can we
go talking about soda and school personalities? Wait, hold on,
we forgot who the goth kids are? Is that the
doctor Peppers? No nocause you said doctor pib no root
beer was the jock? Yeah, that's true. But what would

(59:23):
be the metal heads? No goth? I guess.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Metal heads?

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Like what would Ozzy Osbourne drink?

Speaker 3 (59:32):
Budweiser?

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Jaegermeister, Yeah, straight up, Jack Daniels, it's liquor. Just in general,
they do really cool guy at the bar who's like,
hey man, I have gecking coke. Hold the coke?

Speaker 1 (59:58):
Yeah like that. Okay, all right now, I don't know,
We're just gonna have to figure this out. But who
would be the teachers and the principal? That's I think
that's all we're missing, right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Apple juice straight like apple juice, orange juice, Lacroix, lacrosse.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, you know, Abby. Abby argued about this said she said,
she says it's Lacroix, like apparently, there's.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
So many people have said it that way, but like
right on their TikTok unless they're like owners trolling people.
He like, he tells a story and he's like, we
founded in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. It's actually Lacrosse. And then people
started calling it Lacroix because the French. Yeah, it seems
like it's French, like everybody thought it was this fancy
French sparkling water that is also not superior. Sorry. Yeah,

(01:00:50):
even if they were like, hey, you get one of sponsors,
I'd be like, no, yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
I try. I tried, I could. I couldn't even get
through a can. I'm sorry. It's just that's not for me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
It's just it's like some of them taste like, you know,
like somebody just walked through a room with the flavor
like close to it to give it like the fruit flavor.
But there's so many people that are doing it better.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Well, I was gonna say, I felt like it's like
Bubbler is apparently a lot better to most people, and
you're not into it. No, what are you into? Liquid
death liquid Death.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Sparkling waters are really good. Sparkling ice.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
I like, oh, I love sparkling setse. I mean, but
I wouldn't call it the same. I don't know, it's
not the same. I would not compare it. I know
that's true all to like, uh, like Lacroix, sparkling ice
is its own bubble. I like bubble buble Michael. Yeah,
what if he doesn't even like it and he like,

(01:01:45):
that's just he's going behind it, you know, Like there's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
People people do that, like they actually don't really like
the product, but they stand by it for the money
side of things.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
That's that's just wrong. Yeah, I don't think you should
do that. Yeah, Like I feel like if you're if
there's any that you're tying to, you should definitely be like,
oh yeah, I'm using this. I love it. Can't right,
but do we agree? So teacher principal Lacroix sparkling product. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
And then doctor death or I mean death wish liquid death.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Things with death.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Yeah, liquid death is like the gym teacher. It's like
the janitor janitor Okay, yeah, but like the cool janitor.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
He's cleaning up the messes. But everyone's like, hey, janitor giving.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
And then they're like, what do you think he does
that night? And so a bunch of the other kids
follow him one day. They go to his house and
they wait and they wait for him to leave, and
they follow him and he gets in his car and
he drives and he drives, and then they follow him
and they're like, where do they get going? And he's
in the middle of nowhere and he goes walking into
the woods and they start following, like where is he going?
And then all of a sudden, he gets through the

(01:02:54):
middle of the woods.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Bam.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Burning Man. He's at Burning Burning Man in the middle
of the desert, and he's just rocking out doing burning
Man stuff, dressed up like a devil, half angel, half
fl Like, no, I.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Think it's even better if he's not even dressed up
as anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
He's still in j yeah, and he cleans up after everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
What's his name? Jack? I like Jack. I think Jack
the janitor.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Death, Jack, liquid Death.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
No, he's he is liquid Death, but he's he's his
janitor name. He's got the little little patch you know,
it says Jack. Yeah, yeah, all right, cool.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
You know, we literally had a list of things to
talk about yea, and I think we touched this in one.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Yeah, I mean we're kind of our let's see where. Yeah,
we're over an hour, so maybe we should just do
our comedy tip and we'll see some of those other
and we'll talk about some of the other tips or
other shows coming shows coming up yet, Yeah, let's do
that first and then shows. We'll go brief into a
comedy tip and then we're gonna call it so we
don't lose the episode or something like that. Okay, so
show's coming up. Let's see tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
To my bro, you got a big bro, I do?
I me the Oshkosh Arena yep. And Osh for Oshkosh
is funniest yep.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
Yep. You versus more nine other people yep. So it'll
be very interesting to see how that goes. Pretty strong lineup. Yeah,
you go from all over. Yeah, get somebody from Alaska, Alaska,
New La La. Yeah, it's like, what all the coming
all the way to Oshkosh and let's save Dean to
put him on that one. Yeah. Well, they know you're

(01:04:29):
up for the challenge. I mean, you're definitely. I would
say at the very least you would be top three
tomorrow at the very hit my worst, yeah, pretty much
at your worst, I would say your top three. I mean,
there's some people that I don't know, but like I
don't know, I just I just don't get the vibe
that they're strong. Like I've been sounds weird, but yeah,
I've been going on their facebooks and checking out their
stuff and it's like, nah, I don't know, I'm just

(01:04:52):
it's not just it's not clicking with me or something.
But and it sucks too, because like Monday I was
sick to I mean Monday through Wednesday, I was sick.
Monday was no excuse, but I was like sick.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
And my voice is kind of back, but there was
something I was going to do at the beginning that
nobody's ever seen, not even you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Are You're going to give us a surprise maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
If my voice comes back, all right, because I tried
it in the car today and okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
But yeah, so you got that tomorrow at the ashcost Arena. Ye.
And it's those those kind of things always tough, so
like it's not really even you could have the best
performance of your life, but if people don't vibe with it,
as in days or whatever, it doesn't really.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Matter, and you can bring like one hundred people and
if they all vote for you and the judges are
like the judges vote over rides anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
So well, hopefully, I mean hopefully it still works and
they see what I see and then I'll get to this, say,
I know that one of the finalists for Ashcosh's Funniest
however after that, so boom, hopefully you do well on
that and you you move to the finals. If not,
tomorrow also opens up the wild card for a final spot,

(01:06:13):
which I'm eligible to get on, so I might be
able to get into the finale, same with Stan and
as you and yourself if needed, if needed, which I
still have the wildcard. Yeah, yeah, so I don't know,
And yeah, wild cards are kind of tough though too,
because it's the same thing. It's a popularity kindess. It
doesn't necessarily mean you're the funniest person or the person
that deserves it's just vote. So you know, if you

(01:06:35):
have access to tons of people, the people are I
don't work or work I don't. Yeah, so we'll have
to see how they how they're gonna run through that,
because hopefully it's it's fair and you know, everyone has
anything like, you know, the United States government elections, totally diplomatic.

(01:07:02):
All right, never a question ever you No, it's gonna
be you ever got it got it by popular vote?
All right? Yeah? Okay, plematic as you say, all right,
giving me ideas, and then we both have one other
show this month at least that's worth noting. I guess.
So I have The Bringer, the first Bringer show at

(01:07:24):
Skyline Comedy Club on August twenty eighth, and you have
one at Aqua Land Aqua Land. So I guess you
are becoming a superhero. I am.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
I'm gonna have to hold my breath. And on the
thirtieth interisting, No, it's the Throwing Day. It's twenty ninth,
twenty ninth. Okay, Rob Brackenridge, Hi, Hi Rob, he got picked.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
It's like, hey, we want you to headline. Who do
you want to have feature?

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
And he was like, dude, nice and so it's me
Rob and Chris din Lighty. No, no, no, I remember
heard me. No no offense not that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
I just never had the work with is the Christen
Christen Karnes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
I don't think about it, all right, So that's it
pretty much it for August for shows wise, then let's
get into our comedy tip and we'll be wrapped up
for this weekend and we're gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Do I thought I heard Mavericks dad. I think I
brought him back in the house, right, Yeah, he brought
he brought him home. Remember, Yeah, OK, comedy tip's yeah,
so just.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Kind of maybe a little more in depth. I mean,
we kind of talked slightly on the subject in the past,
but again maybe people just don't understand it from a
non comedy perspective, like what it even means. So kind
of going into a little bit of the lingo. But
you might hear it a show, because most comics should
do this because I think it's helpful to you know,

(01:08:55):
for the host and to know the progression of the show.
But you'll hear someone say like, ope, I just got
the light. I'm gonna wrap it up with. So what
is actually the light? And it varies from place to place, right,
but it's literally a flashlight, a light bulb or something,
and it's just it's just signaling that it's near the

(01:09:19):
end of your acts. Don't recommend that at all because
then it's not even well one you might damage somebody's eye,
but too like then the audience definitely notices it because
like a laser dot on your head or something. But
you get that because it's telling you it's time to
wrap up your act. And however, there's so many inconsistencies

(01:09:42):
I think with the light and maybe just some things
that we noticed that we're good things and bad things,
I think might be a good, just kind of way
to end this up. So I was gonna say initially,
like the type of light, I think it's really important.
So going with the laser pointer not a good idea,
not necessarily using a white light like a phone light

(01:10:05):
or something like that. Because I remember one time, yeah,
I thought doing my show, my act was they were
taking me off stage. They were just taking a picture
and they left their flasht Yeah, they let the flash on,
and you thought you were getting lit, and you did
wrap up and you wapped up like fifteen minutes earlier
or something, right, Yeah, it was ten ten minutes or
something like that. Yeah, and it was like, oh, now,
knowing more experienced, more seasoned, Yeah, I should have asked, hey,

(01:10:29):
am I getting lit right now? Is that the light? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
Yeah, because you can just ended it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
Yeah, because appropriately like you thought that I've always respected
the light. So like you're like, did you guys l
like me? What was wrong? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
And they were like, oh no, so I took a
picture of for get my line on the So I
do I do like like the colored kind of flashlights,
like red ones. We used the green one in a while.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Yeah, for you know, to just put a little filter
over the dot. Like the best that I think is
just a classic air traffic control or whatever you call
those guys on like you know aircraft carrieres or airports
that are just using those stinge cone things, turn it on,
wave it in the air. Oh yeah, I haven't seen
anybody do that. They wanted to do that in the skyline. Oh,

(01:11:13):
I didn't know that they have. That's what they used
to use. It sucked when the batteries were dying and
it was like fading out because they did it too fast.
You just couldn't see it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
But I'd be fine if you had a freaking lightsaber
back there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
Yeah. He's so much better than the lightsaber sound. Yeah,
my mind was mine is like some medieval sword shink. Yeah,
here's just just like I feel like I'm fencing another

(01:11:52):
and I want to go with another light that I
think is a good one. It's just it has to
be done properly, just like one of those colored light bulbs,
like it's red or whatever, but it's it's a fixed bulb.
It's always always there. It's and that's always in the
same spot, the same color. It's like on the wall,
on a post in the back by the booth or whatever,

(01:12:13):
but like it's always in the same spot, and you
know where it is before you get there, because I
remember the first time I went to the lap actory
in Chicago. Yep, I didn't realize that the light was
on the left side.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
It just looks like it kind of looks like one
of those lights like when like the power goes out
and emergenary, like an emergency light. Yeah, it looks kind
of like that. And then I was fixated on it
because they're like, oh, it's up there, and I'm just
like where.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Yeah, I remember telling you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
I was like, it's not what you're expecting them, no,
And then I'm like what the And then all of
a sudden, I saw this thing turn on and I
was like, was that editedd somebody like turn on a
switch somewhere?

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Okay, bye, Yeah, so that's important. So the location of it,
the type of light. Also, how you should react to
the light. I think is important. You don't always have
to verbally say something. We've talked about this before. You
don't have to say, hey, I just got the light.
But you still need to acknowledge that you saw it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
That you can't you can't trust that enough. Just acknowledge it, even.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
If it's just a not a fingerwear gole grabbing the
mic stand.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
And that's even Like so sometimes when you do a show,
a host or somebody will ask like, hey, do you
want to light.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
You should always say yes, even if you don't really
need it. I think it's I never do well. I
just think it's probably best to so other people know
it's going on. It's like the comic after you you know,
is it? Because usually rob Okay, not always, but I'm
just saying, like, like we know that people don't pay attention.

(01:13:44):
They're in their zone. They're not really watching the show,
which is unfortunate sometimes, but like I get we get
it right. We've had big shows where we're like, oh,
geez okay, I really got to focus on doing my act.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
I have it like when it's getting close to my turn.
Sometimes I'm not I'm not always paying attention, right.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
But I think you still realized that the light was
going off, yeah, or hearing the if you're Even if
you weren't really paying attention, you still might catch the
I just got the light, or the might notice the
nod or the whatever. I still think it's probably good.
I just always have the light, even if you don't
need it. But you never know, what if you're what
if some somebody throws you off and now your timing

(01:14:21):
is off, you might not have your watch or whatever. Yeah,
I think I think it's just probably a good safety thing.
And it also means that the host is really paying attention,
So those kind of things, I think I think it's
probably worthwhile. You might have a different opinion on that,
but personally, I think it's probably a good idea.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Yeah, I usually kind of have a sense about how
long I've been.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
You're out of all the people I know personally like
that does shows with me on a more regular basis.
You are definitely the best person for knowing your time. Yeah,
without a walk without Yeah, I just think it's it's cool.
But I still think it's probably good.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
I did have a light, Yeah, Yeah, because like the
one I'm I didn't want to light. I was like, no,
I know, I'll be good. I'll be fine, We're good.
I was headlining and then the guy was like, oh shit,
I forgot to ask him he wanted to light and
we were like, no, he doesn't need one, and then

(01:15:15):
and then he started lighting me, and I'm like it
was confusing, right, well, I also was gonna say I
was gonna be like, what was that?

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
What do you think? That?

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
Was not to be like an asshole, but just be
like what do you like?

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
What do you think you do next?

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
I have a minute left, five minutes left?

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
What? I I had no idea what right now? So
at that point I thought, I was like, did I
go over by like a lot and they want me
to get off stage?

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
What's going on right? Which is like kind of what
I was thinking with the one time I got the picture,
but I knew I was short, so I was like,
what's going on? Like did I say something that was
not cool? But like at that time frame, I wasn't
doing like I never even did a dirty joke, so
it's like, yeah, no, it didn't make sense to me,
but maybe really clean until we started working together. You know,
I did dirty stuff. I just usually didn't reserve. I

(01:16:00):
did that more for open mics to practice and really
give it more thorough of a walk through, I guess.
But yeah, it's just like if they're not discussing the light,
then don't give them one if it's not prediscussed, because
like you said, you didn't know if it was five,
so that is confusing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
Well it was weird too because I saw him kind
of wave it and I didn't acknowledge it at first
because I was just like, what the hell, because at
that point you're not having a light, Yeah, I didn't
need one. And then I saw him do it again,
and then I was like, something's up. And I was like,
I know, cash got this crowd really route what piled
up before? Is he?

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Is he hurt? I appreciate the concern, and then I
just like wrapped up.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Yeah, you had to fight and over crayons.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Get that. That was That was the weirdest, one of
the weirdest things. I mean, I'm glad I had that
experience because it kind of told me like not trying
to divert too much, but like it was just like
you can say the wrong word that's harmless. Yeah, but
it can completely trigger somebody in the wrong or you
didn't want to use the word trigger. Sorry, Uh, it's fine.

(01:17:08):
I it can trigger somebody in a way that's like
that's unexpected. So it's it's.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
Somebody just kind of going back to that's somebody. It
was on a podcast or something and they were talking
about like the origin of when you say triggered, and
it's actually more so tied to like PTSD.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
In veterans. That makes sense, Yeah, and like that's.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
How it was, like, you know, it got triggered, you
know kind of thing because triggered or or trip line
or something.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
Yeah, and so.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
By using it, this doesn't sound like me, but by
using it, it kind of diminishes that for them. And
so that's why I was kind of like, I've been
trying not to use that so much. It's just a
respect thing, that's all.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
Yeah, it's not political. It's not like I'm tryings.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Woke, you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
You're definitely not whoa.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
It's you know, it's just it's to respect.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
I mean, if somebody uses it around me, I'm not offended.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
I appreciate sharing that though I never really thought of
that connotation towards it. But yeah, I think it's just
I think it's because it is so normalized and you
so often now it's like, yeah, you're right, it's not
as powerful and meaning for what it was actually right
all right now, Just I think we have like two
more things to discuss on the light thing, and then

(01:18:28):
I think we're good for the week. So the the
other thing is too is proper operating of the light.
So sometimes it shows if you're producing hosting, you're in
charge of that, or if you're at certain places they
try to designate a person to do that. I think
we just got to be like, get some clarity here
and hopefully people are listening and they'll start implementing it.

(01:18:51):
You flash if it's let's say it's a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
At minute whatever you whatever your call time going is yep, So.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
Let's say you're doing it in a minute. You turn
that light on and it should be on until someone
acknowledges it or it goes on for let's say it's
for a minute left, you keep it on for that
entire minute, and then when that minute's done and now
they're technically over, that's when you start flashing that I
think is the proper technique. And I mean I don't
want to, but when you get past the time when

(01:19:20):
they're over, you should be flashing it because that's that's
the indicate you're over. Get off the stage, like, yeah,
you're done, done, un done, dune dune, dune, dune done,
dune done done, and as politely as possible. It should
really mean shut up, you're now you're being disrespectful to
everybody else that's on the show. But I mean, I
don't do that too because I feel like people don't
know that if it's flashing, it means be done, you

(01:19:42):
know what I mean? Like, I just think there needs
to be more education on that, like when we're doing shows, and.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
Especially with open mics, Yeah, the host.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
Has gotta like lay it down, like this is how
this works. If you're you get the light a minute before,
it'll stay on until you acknowledge it. If you don't
acknowledge it, it's gonna and your time's up, it's gonna
start flashing. When it's flashing, get off the stage, like
like be like think you cannight, you know what I mean? Like,
I think just we need to have a consistency on

(01:20:11):
that cause it's you go everywhere and there's different like rules,
and it's like if you don't know, like they might
not say the rules and then okay, well what am
I doing now? Like I know to always acknowledge the light,
I'll do the the nod, the finger waggle or yeah,
like that way when the last time you heard waggle
and pizzazz but you know, or I'll say, all right,

(01:20:33):
I just got the light. I'm gonna wrap up or
what you know, some sort of acknowledgment yep, But not
everybody does that, especially new people, Like we don't know
if you like, especially when you're operating, like you don't
know if they're if they saw it, people say they
missed it whatever. But it's like, well, one, if we
had it in a fixed location instead of a flashlight approach, yep,

(01:20:54):
you wouldn't have that problem because it would be in
the same place all the time. People would learn that.
And then having that standard practice of turn the light
on at the minute or when it's a minute remaining
or whatever the light timeframe is, and then doing the
flashing when the time's up. I think we'd have just
better performances in general from people.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
And then I guess my last question to you, and
I guess I'll add stuff in if I can think
of anything else, but any other dues. And don't slit
the light, I guess. Don't put it in your butt,
that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
Don't run it, yeah yeah, don't don't run it at
least on purpose, like it can happen on accident. Yeah,
but I guess I guess if you're operating the light,
be fair with two, you know, because I've had where
people have said like, hey man, I'm not going to
light you and I'm like, well, that's not cool, and

(01:21:55):
again like I regulate my time, but at the same time,
it's like, well so I can just do whatever, and
they're like, yeah, I mean just go to you're done,
and I'm like.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
No, no, because I can be done in an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
I can do an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
Yeah, I'm not going to do it an hour, right. Yeah.
I guess that's also part as the operator. You also
need to have your own way to time a watch phone, yeah,
Like you need to be on that, Like because I
recently just saw that someone set their timer late and
then I'm recording and I saw for the person I

(01:22:35):
was recording for that, Okay, they should begin the light now,
and they got twenty five seconds later. Yeah, screws up
timing completely because you might have a certain amount of
stuff where you're like, okay, my watch, does I have
a minute left? Why am I not getting the light yet?

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
Well, my internal clock. A couple of times when things
like that have happened, Yeah, I'm like, did I burn
through that too fast? No, it feels my everything about
me feels the same. But then I'll get the light
and then I'll be like, okay, I'm done, like out
because I won't know like what the ad.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
Right, you know, because I'll be like, okay, do I
have time for a thirty second three minute bit? See
the light?

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
And I'm like that felt like that was my time,
so I technically have a minute left. And then I'll
just you know, riff something and buy yeah you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
Okay, Well I think that's pretty good. I mean, if
we think of anything else, we can always add to
it in another point. But I think that's pretty good.
So again, just with the light now that you kind
of heard the behind the scenes, just like, be fair,
be consistent, and use something that works. Yeah, but just
go over rules. So people have those expectations right off the.

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
Yeah, I was just trying to think, like, the weirdest
light I ever had before we go was in the back.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Of a room I think, I know what you're talking about.
Was in in West Bend. I don't remember. Did we
do the show together. Yeah? Was it a refrigerator? Yes, yes, yeah,
Well that's one of my favorite lights too.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
I was like, for just calling me home baby, They're
just like open it up and that's how you knew well.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
But they didn't do that a purpose, but it was
like perfect timing with the light. Yeah, no, that was great.
That was that was weird.

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
And then another time there was a baby Jesus like
from a nativity. This is at the back of the room,
you know, baby Jesus pose And then.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
If it was actually sat on like a timer, and
it's like, all right, I it looks like I just
got a sign from baby Jesus. No sod.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
I was like, okay, everybody, baby Jesus calling me home by.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
All right, Well, I think we just got the light
and we did flashing now so we're not going to
run it yep, So that means we got to say goodbye. Okay,
we'll see you next week.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Ye is better than docu member, by pay back by.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
D more than my sad believe you Bonnyball.

Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
Oh yeah, this has been a Tape Deck Media production.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
Thank you for listening.
