Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to the Danny Clinkscale Reasonably irreverent podcast, insightful and
witty commentary, probing interviews and detours from the beaten path.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome to Thursday Thursday. No, it was not canceled by
the powers that be. We are still here because the
powers that be are us. Yes, we are the powers
that be, So that's why we are here. And I
know I'm raring to go because on the run end
to this particular podcast, I was listening to Back in
(00:37):
Black by ac DC. And if that doesn't get you
pumped up, and Josh's laughing in the background because for
technical reasons that I won't explain, I've got him potted
down right now. But anyway, and I made me think
of and maybe we can get into this a little bit.
No one. I don't think anyone has delivered four minute
smack you in the face rock and roll like ACD.
(01:00):
You'd be hard pressed to figure out that that little
pocket that they've got handled. But anyway, so I'm fired up.
We got beers. We got beers from our boys at
Santa Fe Liquors at eighty seventh and Santa Fe. We
got some beers from our good friend of the podcast
Danny Miller The Topeka Titan. I just made that up
(01:22):
because it's alliteration anyway. So we got all kinds of
stuff to talk about. Chat joeck Chat Joe, and I'm
leaving that in Joe and we haven't dried. We need beer,
That's what we need, need beer, So I'll settle down.
Joe and I played golf yesterday. We had a wonderful day.
It's been ages since we did this, all kinds of material.
(01:43):
I was in Europe since then, and I sent eight
hundred million texts to Joe, so there's some of them
were thirsty Thursday oriented. I don't know what made the
cutting room floor what didn't, But all of it's wrapped
up in one on what should be a heady edition
of Thirsty Third Days, Sense and Nonsense.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
More of Danny's Reasonably Irreverend podcast after this.
Speaker 3 (02:10):

page report on your root for free Eastern Roofing, getting
(02:31):
you back to business faster Eastern Roofing integrity matters. Oo,
we are back, Danny, six weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I think it's been I might, yeah, at least at
least I left for Europe on July twenty third, I
know that, And it was before then. So and I said,
this is going to be a heady addition. One of
the reasons is because our first beer is called Heady jams.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's Heady jams Man.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Is from Brick City Brewing Company Bricks with an X. Yes,
north Haven, Connecticut, not New Haven nor north Haven. New
Haven's where Yale is.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
By the way, it says, store cold, drink fresh, Danny.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And well, we store cold, and we're drinking it fresh.
And here I go, and I haven't had a sip
of liquid liquid since one o'clock and it's about four o'clock.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Here I just had a cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I think you're gonna like it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's good, a little little sweetness.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's a little bit of like bittery tang.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It does have bittery tang. Sweet. It's an eight percenter,
So a good way to start. Yeah, there's a little
bit of bitterness to it, but there's a little bit
of sweetness to it also, So I'm not gonna say,
you know, we've had some of recently, we have we
have such great beers, but we've had some you know,
(04:15):
seven eight percenters recently that.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Have you didn't even know?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
No bitter, Yeah, no bitterness, this one A little bit
of bitterness, but a good bitterness, I would say.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, I mean, as bitterness.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Goes, it's not bitter beer face bitter.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I'm gonna say seven point six.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm going to go a little lower than that. Actually
I like it, but I'm going to go seven to
seven to two on this one today. So well, it's
hitting the spot. I tell you to say, this is
my second I'm gonna usually the first sip on a
beer like this will be the best one because it's
the Christmas and it hasn't maybe the bitterness hasn't shown itself. Hey,
(04:52):
let me try the second one and see good. Not
adjusting that, not adjusting, changing, not changing.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
No. Yeah, we played a little golf yesterday, Danny.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That was really nice.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Now he hit the ball well, but didn't score that well,
but that's all right, you.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Know, I was. We were both happy. It was absolutely
gorgeous day. We went out to Augusta Tree National, but
it was closed for reasons that we're not told to
Joe because he was sitting at the gate when I
was that came.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Driving the Yeah, you know, I said, hey, you know,
looks like y'all are clothed, and they go, we are.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That was it, okay? And then he just kept eating
a hot dog.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Just shoved as much.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
We were hoping, you know, to Joe was hoping to
redeem DeSoto Golf because Joe and I am perfectly willing
and capable of destroying that golf course and telling people
never to even set foot on it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Oak Country, that other side of the river. It's terrible,
it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, I texted Joe, I played there many years ago.
I think I did twice, just by circumstance. I think
it was when I lived in Lawrence or whatever. And
Joe says, this is the worst. This golf course is dreadful,
or if something textically that I.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Said it was the worst golf course in North America,
I believe.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And I said, calling it a golf course is an
insult to golf courses. And then I said, burning tree
is augusta national compared to that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Correct? God, yeah, my son and I went out. There's
only I didn't make a tea time in time, so
couldn't get in on anywhere but there, And it was
busy and they wanted thirty five dollars a piece to
play on it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Oh boy, and God bless him. I guess it just
took it. All I remember is it looked like some
guy had a big piece of farmland and he didn't
want to farm it anymore, so he carved out what
passes for a golf course mostly just tea boxes and
crappy greens and mow mow it in between.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, but it's you know, there's a lot of grass
in the fairways. It's just all dead so and covered
in grass cuppings, and every green is burnt up in
toast except for them. Eighteenth signature hole island Green.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh I think I remember that.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Who by the way, I banged it in the water.
My son hit it to six feet.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Nice. That place actually has eighteen holes. Wow, well I'll
give them credit for that eighteen If you want eighteen
full bad holes of golf, and.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
There's like five par threes on the back, which is
why I was able to hit in the seventh.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Thing that also makes it appalling, is okay they they
asked thirty five bucks. We played Dub's Dread for fifty
and it was great, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Don't tell anybody, really.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You know they're doing They're doing plenty of business.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You want to do some fat checking. Sure, six weeks ago, all.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Right, that's I can't even remember what we talked about.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Boy, it was a good I think it was a
good one. Go back and listen if you missed it.
I thought it was very entertaining when I listened to
it yesterday. We talked about a French beer and I
could see the bottle in my mind, and I said, oh,
it's called seventeen seventy six. It's not called seventeen seventy six.
It's called sixteen sixty four.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's right, that's right. Yep. Now now I can see it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know what, I would imagine something important happened in
sixteen sixty four in France.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But not really. No, that's what I thought, so I
thought that would be it. Dude. No, that's when the
Hat family began commercial brewing in Strasburg, France. Right, So
that just was that, that is it. It commemorates that
last time you used a word elopement. Yes, and you
were unsure if that was a word.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Well, I know elope ing is, but I don't know
about elopement.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Elopement is a word. Well, good, it means running the
way to get married.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It can also mean that when a patient leaves without
permission from a like a mental institution.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Wow, I mean like when the Cuckoo's Nest guys went
on the boat. Correct, I'm pop by the Sasler man,
remember that, I do. That's a great movie, by the way,
if you haven't never seen one Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
It's a dark comedy, but there's a lot of just
regular old comedy in it. But it ends up being
(09:32):
a dark story. But a fantastic book. Did you ever
read the book?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Read the book for sure?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, better book than movie in my oinon often the case.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
That is one of the movies that I've heard people
say they think it's a better movie than a book.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Though, uh, well, it's a fantastic movie. But I'll say
that I think All the President's Men is a better
movie than book. I like the book, but it's really
really in depth. But the movie I think does just
as good a job of telling the story with entertainment
(10:06):
in it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Shash Ank Redemption better movie than book.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Okay, right, haven't Obviously I've seen the movie, but I
haven't read the book.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's a short story, Stephen King. Right, Okay, Danny, last
time on the pod, you said that you were a
very patient man.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I am a patient man. Okay, And almost everything.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yesterday, we're playing golf, we're flying, We get done in
no time. Right. We have not seen anybody in front
of us the whole time. We get to the seventeen
pole and the first time we have to wait. We
gotta wait on these three guys right button. It turns
out we know them.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, but we we.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Gotta wait on these guys. And we're waiting, you know,
a little longer we should be. Looks like there's a
conversation going on out there. Yeah, and you had some
words for these guys up there. How you didn't say
to them.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
No, I said, oh, come on, fellows, you know the
thousand dollars Nassa is all well, and good, but they
were putting for three of them calling you out, Nate,
Nate Bucaty and his dad in front of us, right,
and and one other person I don't know who that was,
and they're just dawdling up there. And then elder Bukaty
kind of sash eight off the front of the green too.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So anyway, that.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Was the seventeenth hole and we only had one whole remaining,
so that that was fine. We had a beautiful day.
We played in about you know, for two of us,
and there were a few people on the golf course
which we didn't really run into. I think we played
in about three twenty.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And you'd say, you're a patient man.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I am a patient man, but I do not, okay,
I did not suffer fools gladly, uh huh. And I
thought they were being foolishly long on the grid. That's
all I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I've I'm going to keep an eye out for your
for you demonstrating patients. Although you may say that playing
golf with me is demonstrating on your behalf.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
No, I've played golf with all stripes of golfers. And
one thing we talked about afterwards is the fact that
when we're out there playing golf. We're good friends. We
like to talk about many, many things, and when we're
playing golf, it's pretty much all golf. Yes, we're not
like we're just so serious that it's a heart attack
out there. But we're concentrating on our golf. We are
(12:23):
talking about our shots.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And we weren't losing balls.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Right, very fine.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You said that FDR was elected in nineteen thirty two.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, you said.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I don't even need to look up, right, and you
were correct.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh thank you. Jeez. For a half second, I'm like,
this can't be not true. What's he going to say?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Of course he went on to serve most of four terms.
That's right, right.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Let's hope history does not repeat itself. That's all I'll say,
without being political.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Well, if there was a third term, that might be
a bit of a smash and grab. Yeys, you brought
up last time.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Oh right, good.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So smash and grab originated in Britain in the twentieth
century to describe a quick theft where criminals smashed a
window and grab valuables. So that's what I said last time.
That makes me a genius, I'm.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Correct, of course. Now it's used generally in soccer about
a game that you have no business winning, that you do.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I've got really this is it really interesting? You asked
for this fact check? Why was a fish named crappy? Why?
And what's the derivation of effort? Right? Crappy? Crappy?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
People call it crappy. It's spelled exactly like crappy would be,
except i e. Instead of why.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, okay, and you said it maybe from a French word,
is what you had said last time. It gets its
name from the Canadian French word crap. A.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, it was the ie that made me think French.
That's all.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
It was used to describe various different kinds of sunfish.
So uh, you wondered the last time does it have
something to do with the word crap? And it does not.
Linguistic roots has nothing to do with the word crap.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's great. So sunfish, You know what, why don't they
just go back to calling.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
At sunfish seems like a better name.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It does seem like a better name.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
That's what calling you rather.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You know, sit down, you know, have your wife say, oh,
we're going to serve up some sunfish.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Sunfish, right, some baked foot sunfish. It's like Chilean sea bass.
You know that's not a real fish, right, that's just
they made that up.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh really, yes, they.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Just made that. Restaurants made that up.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'll fact check that, so it's pretty sure. So it's
just a sea bass, but they caught said it was
from Chili.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I think it or it's not all a bunch of
different fish Chilean sea bass, because it's not a real
that's what I think. I'll look at it. I see
like they just came up with it in order to
serve you more fish because we're running out of fish, Danny.
I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Well, I can imagine eventually we're going to have problems
with that. You know, we know that there's bad things
going on for the environment in many ways. You know
that is true, but you know, okay fake news if
you like.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
So another word from last time you wondered, is stratifying
a word?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Stratifying?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah? You use that word stratifying?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, I think that's a word.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
It is a word. Do you know you want to
take a shot at what it means or one of
the three things it means? Well, where it's.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Used stratifying, is it like categorizing very close.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yes, it means to a range or form into layers
of strata, right, like geology or sociology or gardening, right
like strata in the ground. Right. So there you go, buddy,
that is that is our fact check. It's been so long,
I don't remember how we transition this, but I do
have a question for you that I thought up yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Right, Well, so I guess all those texts you're We're
not going to get into any.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Of them, my man, come on, work. We got a
lot on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Do we do yes or not on the cutting room floor?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, not yet, I'll do this right. I have to know.
One of the great things we did early on in
this podcast is I would just ask you about something. Okay,
So Danny, yes, Joe, give me your opinion on milk,
cow's milk. When's the last time you had a glass
of milk?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
A long time? But that was more for weight reasons
when I got to the point where I decided I
had to watch my weight all the time, which I've
done it basically now my entire life since I was
like twenty four.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, so it's been like, oh seven years since.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
We had It's been a long time. It's it hasn't
been a half century, but it's been a long time.
But I very much enjoyed milk when I was a kid.
And in fact, I don't know if we've told I've
told this story, but if I had, so what we
used to go like play basketball in the summertime and
play until we were about to drop and we come
(17:08):
back and have you know, get out a gallon of
milk and put it over ice and drink O.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
My god, really ice.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, milk was over ice. It was I remember it
being delicious. I've had a sip of milk or two
in the time then, and it just is like I
might as well just have put a spoon into a
tub of butter and stuck it in my mouth. I
couldn't even know, So, yeah, long time since I've had milk.
I don't eat cereal. I don't eat breakfast.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So did you eat breakfast cereal when you're a kid?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I did? What was it?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
What kind of breakfast cereal?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
What did I like? Wheaties was one of my favorites. Yeah,
what do they call the biscuits? The big biscuits? Oh yeah,
cree not cream of wheat. Wheat something wheat. Yeah, those
big biscuits that were wheat. And we used to boil
water and pour hot water over to make them soft
(18:12):
and then put milk on it, so it was a
hot It was a shredded wheat. Shredded wheat, yes, and
not the little mini shredded wheat, the big, big, you
know bread side you know, sort of like the size
of a bread loaf, a little breadmaaf. Yeah, so I
probably have two in a bowl. Yeah, I like that.
I didn't like any of the sugary cereals. I don't
(18:33):
think I ate any of the sugary cereals. Oh no,
I did eat Captain Crunch.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Captain Crunch, were there crunchberries involved? No, they were not
its pre crunchberry.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It was pre pre crunch. That'd be a good fact check, okay,
they you know, I definitely know when I started to
eat Capvin Crunch there were no crunchberries. The crunchberry may
have come along pretty quickly, but I wouldn't have opted
for something so exotic anyway. And I didn't really mostly
like because Captain Crunch isn't that sweet, or at least
at least it wasn't in my memory.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I'm going to guess that crunchberries came along in the
mid to late eighties because I feel like I remember
it as a kid.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh, I think they came along pretty quickly. Yes, I
would imagine that there were crunchberries when you were a kid,
no doubt.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, But I think they came out.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's my guess for the f Oh you mean they
came out came.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Out in the mid to late eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Okay, well there is.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
When they debuted. That's what I think.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Back in the forties, when I was eating.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yes, come on this boat, it's a fun bud, to
be honest. What about chocolate milk or strawberry milk.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I think I dabbled a little bit in strawberry milk,
not really like in chocolate milk too much. I think
I had. I think I went through a short chocolate
milk phase. I when I first balloon in wait was
after my basketball season, my senior year of high school.
Because I was a voracious eater. But you know, we
(19:59):
were acting kids, active kids, and I was playing on
the basketball team too, so that we're running sprints every
day whatever. But my average you know, like consumption before
pre dinner, pre dinner time, which we called supper in Bustin.
I would have go to school and they had donuts.
(20:20):
They had fresh donuts at school. Yeah, we had fresh donuts.
So I had two chocolate covered cake donuts with what
we called Jimmy's sprinkles.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay, sprinkles were called Jimmy's.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
They're called Jimmy's. Yeah, like on your ice cream and everything. Yeah, Jimmy.
Everybody calls them Jimmy's. That was. I didn't even know
what sprinkles were until I came out here, so they
were they were called jimmy. So I'd have two of
those in the morning, and then I would have our
lunch was I'll give you an idea.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Served you breakfast fresh donuts at school for free.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
No, they were you had to pay for them, okay,
but they were twelve cents a peace, I remember that.
And then lunch was forty eight cents, and I would
get two of them, two lunches. I'd walk through and i'd,
you know, the lunch ladies would be there and I mean,
I'm getting a double lunch. And so the average double
lunch would be like two big suit servings of spaghetti,
(21:24):
two servings of green beans, and then you used to
get a little peanut butter and half a peanut butter
sandwich on the side. That was a side thing. So
I got two of those, so that was my And
then I had double milk.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, because you had milk with that all.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I ate all that food. So then I stopped. You know,
I just played golf in the spring. And the difference
between my picture in my basketball picture and my golf
team picture, it looks like, you know, a fat ads
didn't reverse. Really yeah, I mean I wasn't fat in
the second picture. I gained like twenty five pounds from Wow. Yeah,
(22:03):
because I gain weight. Like if I've said this before,
if if I was cast in a movie, if somebody said, hey,
we're offering you two million dollars to play Fatty Fatty Danny,
I could. I could gain thirty pounds in no six weeks.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You say that, but when's the last time you really
gained weight.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I never have gained weight since I was you know,
since I you know, I worked in Delhi on Christmas
break during college, and I gained twenty four pounds in
twenty two days. I had to pick up the doughnuts
when I did morning drive for a couple of weeks
and another time in college and I did about the
(22:44):
same I gained about twenty five pounds in two weeks.
That's wild, And since then I haven't had any excessive.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You're supposed to be a bigger dude, Danny.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
My doctors have said that I could put on a
little bit of weight, but I just my response is
that is not happening.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
So the reason I like the wait a mat So
the reason this milk thing came up? Yes, okay, So
in our house, milk has sort of thought of as poison.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, really you don't like milk? I love it. Oh okay, I.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Love having milk and cookies. But uh, you know, they
say you need it for calcium, when you get calcium
from broccoli. They say you need it for protein. You
get protein from a lot of healthy resources. My daughter
and my wife are a little bit lactose and tolerance.
So okay, we have like a little thing of milk
that lasts us like a week.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Right, And you do you take milk in your coffee? No,
you're a black coffee mail?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, all Express, all Espresso, Danny, and
all black. But we get an email from the cross
Country team because Lyla going to make varsity for freshman year.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
They want her to drink milk.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And they're having this run over the weekend and they're
asking for volunteers to bring gatorades and waters and chocolate
milk for them to drink after the race. And it
was so weird to me to think, you go and
work out and you're hot, you just ran for seven miles.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It would seem weird to me, except I did it
when I was young.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Why I wanted to ask you that, because yeah, I
would come in from play and pick up basketball for
three hours and like pound two or three honey buns
and then just pull the milk out of the fridge
and just chug it. I remember being so thirsty and
just like.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Downing, thinking milk is refreshing. Yeah, I know, I got.
It's like it's appalling. He grows. Yeah it is. It's gross.
It's not Joey Chestnut gross, but it's gross. It's gross.

Danny Miller, a longtime public school teacher and I have
a great admiration for public school teachers, and he was
a coach. Also, his song Oh Oh, Joe gives it.
I haven't even tad mine yet. I almost wish I
had a little palate cleanser in between.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You're not gonna need it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Okay, this is going to be a palate cleanser in itself.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, this is this is a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Hmmm. By the way, we both agreed that we probably
slightly overrated the heady jams.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Maybe maybe more than slightly right.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Hetty jams is okay, this is good. This is a
good fest. October Fest. This plain old Octoberfest from Great
Lakes Brewing Company, clearly in the Great Lakes. But I
can't read. I can't. I should it's such an interesting Yeah,
it is Octoberfest. You got a lot of flavor.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You know, it's october Fest.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I'm trying to find the details, but I've already opened
the can, so I really can't turn it very.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Very after her like five seconds. It leaves a little
bit of like residuey bitterness on the back of your tongue.
But that could just be heady gams hanging out back there.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
That could be. This is a lot of flavor. This
is like a this is a here we'll get let's
get a little.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
This is a complicated brew. I mean, Octoberfest is usually
kind of a plane straight forward. This is a this
is a heady heady That was the other stuff. This
is complicated. I just can't. Can you find where that
is here?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I mean, there's no way I'm going to be.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I can see, I'm close, but it's it's just where
it is. I'm not seeing it. Lakes Brewing Company.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Oh, fact check it for next.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, there we go. It's forth Great Lakes Brewing Company,
and I'm clearly it's I think this is a Michigan beer.
If you're looking for blue can oh it's Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio.
I found Great Lakes Brewing Company, Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Cleveland, Ohio, close to Cincinnati, right, not really home of
Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
All right, yes, we're you're taping this on Tuesday, and
that was the day that Tayte Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
It is?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Ye and Travis announced their engagement.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Very happy for them. My wife and daughter are very excited.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'll say this. The Boston Globe, Beat, the Athletic, and
the Kansas City Star on my email feed they had
it first.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I got a text from my daughter that's how there
you go? Seven seven point five?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Uh yeah, yeah, seven six. I'll give it. And as
we said, we're downgrading about a half a point on
the heady jams.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, I'm tired. Whatever the whole point.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I think, now you're being a little rough on teddy jams.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Well, now I got a nacover fest of my belly
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
There, there's a nice picture of a burly arm hoisting
a mighty mug.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I will tell you a stine.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I would call that a steine. That's more of a stine.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
And this is not an eight percent the heady jams was.
If you had five or six heady jams, you might
be hungover, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
This is a This is a hefty six point five though.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Okay, I'm surprised seven or eight of those and I
might be hungover.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh yeah, Do you know where the.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Word hungover comes from? Then?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I don't. I'm trying to think of what the derivation
would be. You know, that's one thing that's a fortunate
thing for a man who's a longtime runner than avid exerciser.
I don't really get hungover.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Well you also you don't drink like wild man.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
No, but I've been known to throw down a pretty
good amount of beers in an evening. Huh. I mean
the other day would have been a watching the golf,
would have been a day where I might have got
hungover because I was nervous and drinking quite a bit
of beers.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I made you toasted scotch.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
We had a toast of scotch at like eleven o'clock
when Tommy Fleetwood won, finally making our family very happy.
So no, but I do remember when I was running,
and maybe I would have had it kind of a
crazy night. The first mile was a rough one, but
that was it and I was there was no hangover,
(31:15):
so good for you.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Do you want to give me a guess where it
comes from?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Hang over?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Uh? Huh?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
A German word? Yeah, so too many bass in, too
many bass hangover.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
That's out of the little Asian.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I'm just gonna so the second part. Did I think
I did a pretty good German one the first time?
The good yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Uh. In Victorian England, the cheapest way to rent a
room in air quotes was to rent a spot on
a road where you could hang over it so you
didn't have to sleep on the ground. And a lot
of times drunks were broken.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
That's all they could afford, so they would just hang
over a rail.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Literally, there's pictures of it. I saw the picture. It's wild.
They're like hanging over a clothes line. It's just sleeping
like across their.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Chest, so that they wouldn't sleep on the ground.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, because imagine how disgusting the streets were in Victorian English.
I would and everything else.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yes, Now, while yes I would that that's that's an
interesting one, not like most of them aren't, but that
one's really now, I wouldn't. I couldn't have. I could
have spent a long time trying to write yes, and
I wouldn't have gone there.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Well, let's see what you do. How you do with
the second one, buddy, if you slept on If I
slept on one of those ropes and I was hungover,
I might be a little salty.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Right.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Where do you think salty comes from?
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I mean saying that somebody's salty?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I would say that's more like a cattle drive thing
something like that. Mmm.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Interesting. Now, boy, Navy think sea think salty?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
O solid.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
When the sailors would be out at sea.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
For a really long time, yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
They get really pissy. I mean there's no women out
at sea, first of all. No. Secondly, the food's not great.
Ooping around all your buddies forever, you're taking your thimble
of lime juice a day so you don't get scurvy
right anyway, So when they would come back ashore, right,
they would be pissy and people would be like, oh,
(33:25):
this guy's a little salty wow from being out on
the seat, Danny.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Can you imagine how refreshing? Oh you know, I think
it would be a bath back in the day, like
you're coming into town and you know, you get into
a tub. That would be because I don't think there
was here's a here's a fact check. I wonder when
the shower was invented.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Hmmm, you know, because I saw Bugs money cartoon one time.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
And Bugs was taking a shower.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
There was a the King of England back in Victorian
times taking a shower. I don't know, what's your guess,
I'll look it up.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I don't you know. I think this is a good
one because I don't I could see it being you know,
seventeen eighty, or I could see it being eighteen eighty
or nineteen ten.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
I think it's Rome, really, Oh but it's the Roman baths. Yes,
but I bet you they had personal showers in their houses.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Okay, with a guy to like pour hot water into it.
Oh boy, shower.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Boy, I'm gonna go this will be a good one
because I'm going to say it's later because it's you know,
because of the you know, technology involved. Although you could
just write, you could just have a big bucket over
your head and poke holes in it. But I it
seems like people would be so in tuned to like
(34:51):
in our I don't think I took a shower until
I was mid teens.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Crazy waste of water.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, we used to bathe. Now it's pretty disgusting. You know,
you get four clink scale boys in a row taking
a bath. You know, you get the left you didn't
like dump there's enough hot water. We fill a tub
four times.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
So everybody out there that's younger, it is true. This
is what would happen. And I'm barely young enough that
I didn't have to do it, like, but kids just six, seven,
eight years old than me will talk about this sharing
water right in the bathtub.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Oh yeah, you one to get out of there. I
need to get in and get my bath.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yeah, and you're heating.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
You just leave it in there, or you might you
might throw a little bit of fresh hot water. Oh yeah,
you know, but you weren't going to have enough.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, you're heating that water with heating will out on
the East coast anyway.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Right, I would assume it has to be delivered. I
don't know what's expensive. I don't know what we had.
All I know is that there was no way you
were doing four fresh tubs of hot water. That was
not happening. Coming home, I'm like, then, oh yeah, well
by then, I think I took it. I think then once,
I think once you I think it was probably school
(36:08):
school based. I bet oh that once you, you know,
maybe start playing sports and you saw that there was
a shower or you had to take a shower. It's
not like you're gonna take a bath and you're like,
you know, that's pretty good. I think that's better than
a bath.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
You know, I said that showers are wasteful of water.
I bet you, oh, I showers use less water than
a bath.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Oh yeah, right, one hundred percent. I mean if you
just take a regular you know, one h oh. I don't.
I don't think there's any way that I did at
a bath. A shower takes it.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I just want to retract that statement from earlier where
I said that baths are a waste or showers are
a waste of water, because that's so wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yeah, I mean you could take a I think you
could take a shower that would fill up a bath.
But I don't even want to ask. You have a son,
so what are you doing in there?
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I got a couple of teenagers and they take long showers, Daddy.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I'll take a long shower every now and then sometimes,
you know, just because I want to, You know, I do.
I do a lot of stretching in the shower. I
do some kind of yoga stretching.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Do you ever take a bath anymore?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Almost never? Occasionally used to take one every We have
a nice big you know, yeah, we do soaking tub whatever.
We don't have jets in it. But so I used
to a little bit more. And it's been a while
since I've taken a bath.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Those old get those old bones. You said your back hurts,
Get your old bones in there. Yeah, and hey, if
you're going to take a bath, maybe you would want
to hang up a do not disturb sign.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Right. This is one of the texts, the thirsty texts
I sent Joe from Europe. We had a very We're
in a very nice hotel, and you know, we had
a obviously a week on the Viking River Creuse, so
we had a room there and I think that was
I think that was the derivation of it. Actually was
the one on the on the boat and you put
(38:12):
the two not disturbed signs and they just fall off routinely. Now,
there was a short period of time, but this.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Is only an issue because they come to clean your
room like six times.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
A day, right right, yeah, but it's just annoying. You know,
you set it and then you go to leave and
it comes flying off, or you shut the door comes
flying off. I mean it's very poor, very poor. Now,
there was a one I thought of it today because
I knew we were going to talk about this. There
was a short period of time when they had an
effective one no, which which was when they first started
(38:43):
using the sliding key cards and then you could insert
the do not disturb.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
This isn't this is not just from this trip. You
are mad about do not disturbed signs.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
For a long time large at large. But that that
period of time between you know a y u huh
and now you know you just tap it, that was
pretty good because you'd put it in the slot, it
would slide in there. Yeah, you put it in the
slot and would stay there. That was fine, but I
said it was a pitch battle. But it's not the
(39:14):
easily the worst innovation, and they've got to do better.
They've just got to do better. Come on, I'm gonna
buy you one to take when you because you say
you have a good one.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I do my I'm a I'm a nap taker. I'm
unabashed about it.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Her.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I think a twenty or thirty minute nap every day.
It makes me fresh and I work a ton of
hours and it's one of the ways I can do that.
So my team kind of knows that they used to
make fun of me for it. Now they don't. So
for Christmas, they bought me a do not disturb sign
made of like thick, like seventies plastic, right, you know,
like when plastic was awesome, right, And it just it's
(39:50):
just big enough to fit over the door handle and
so solid and it's solid and it stayste put and
that you know. I think the problem is not the
do not disturb sign. I think the problem is the
hardware on the door.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, but they should be able to work around it.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
They're not knobs anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
It's like the things. They'll give you some time to
put on your mirror on your car, you know, like
a hanging tag. Those aren't very good either, But but
it's a distance second to the worst innovation and the
greatest scam in business history. Okay, the automatic hand dryer.
(40:35):
Those things blow. There's no other way to put it.
They suck. They don't work.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
You.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
You're better off just.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Going no, No, nobody uses them. Well, you put your
hand out of there for two seconds and then you
just wipe myne gs, right, I mean everybody does, and
then you're But sometimes.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
I try it again just to confirm that they still suck.
You know, you sit there, you're rub your hands and
fifteen twenty seconds and it's blowing up a storm. I mean,
it's making noise, and then there's still boys.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
And it's blowing all over you too. It's just that's
the problem.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
They care. They keep selling them this.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I can get behind you know, I can get behind that. Look,
if you don't want paper towels, you could do what
they did back in the day when I was a kid.
Do you remember the cloth roller?
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, yeah, of towels kind of gross, but no, it's
always clean. Do you know that No, I thought there
was why it was a spinner one. No, it rolls
back up into a spool. Then they take that and
they launder it and bring it back. Well, I think
maybe if some of the places I went, they weren't
as attentive about laundering, said roll.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
Listen, I went to a lot of truck stops as
a kid, and I'm sure they were not laundered.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Because I would go to what right, white like dry
my face.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
My Dad'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's what.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
I mean, use your I think I think they maybe
that was why they went away because they weren't. They
probably if they had used them the way they were
intended to be used.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
There would have been a good it'd be better for
the environment. Uh you know, I think there's probably people
listening that don't know what we're talking about. There was
a real towel right on a big spool and you
pull on.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
It right and it would have sort of spin rotate
around through the Yeah, that was that was pretty good,
as you said. If it was if they did it
the way that you said that, they would take it out,
they'd launder it, they put a fresh one in there.
Except in my memory, it was usually kind of rancid
and dirty, but still so still better. Better you could
(42:42):
at least you're gonna get your hands.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
And if you use soap and it looked and is
relatively clean, then you're all right.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
If everybody's cooperating automatic I want if anybody is a
fan of the automatic hand dryer, and if you're I
hope we're making this clear. It's the thing that blows
supposedly got air. Although you know the thing is now
they've mastered the art of scamming these walmart of the
(43:13):
world or whatever, because they kind of fancy them up.
Now you know, you're go into an airport and there'll
be one with a little yellow on it.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
There are varying degrees. There's the diceon that like really
kind of get your hands clean or dry, and you
got to put your hands down in it. But they
don't touch the.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Sides right right. Even the worst of the.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Automatic handryer, if that's even what you should be calling
it is McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Now, I know you're not a McDonald's user, so I
haven't been there for a while.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
I am a McDonald's user. I love me some McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
For a breakfast.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
Yes, and I'm going there. I'm gonna wash my hands
first because I'm not a savage, because I'm gonna eat,
so you gotta get your hands clean, right. It is
like the breath of a baby.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
How about how about a sleeping dog when the dog,
your dog's a sleeping going that is about.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
That's about the same verocity or what was the word
you used earlier about Oh my gosh, what was it.
Oh no, that wasn't you.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
That was somebody stratisfied velocity would be the better. But yeah,
they blow so anyway, that was one of the things
I sent Joe. But so so yes, the the hanging
do not disturb is dreadful, but it does not go
to all the way to blow chunks, which is a
disgusting phrase. You know what, sometimes I don't know if
(44:46):
you're my wife. Is his a sort of high tone
but normally still reasonably down to earth, But occasionally I'll
just say something and she'll go, that's so disgusting. Don't
you ever say that again? And so I I said something,
and I'm trying to think of the context. I may
not be able to before this is get to the punchline.
(45:09):
But I said, oh, no, I'm not going to say it.
I'll tell you that. But anyway, the phrase is it
made me throw up in my mouth. Oh and I
said that the other day and she had a fit.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (45:24):
That's disgusting. Don't you ever say that?
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Have you ever seen those people that if you go, it's.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Worse than what you were saying that you're throwing your mouth,
you know what it was about, what you're complaining about.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Have you ever seen those people where you go and
you kind of make that noise and then they can't
help it but gag, almost throw up. Oh my god,
these are like the funny that's get it on my
TikTok all the time, not Danny, it's so funny. There
are people who if you make the gagging sound, it's
like infectious, like they can't help but gag. Oh it's hilarious.
(45:54):
But I could see your wife being like, don't say
these things. They're discussing, Danny. They're discussed right. Yeah, well, uh,
you know, we've got lots of things to talk about,
but we might be want to close out of town
out of time here.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
You're going to want to pick a you know, a
real rosy one and then saved save it. You know,
these are this show. Is one of the good things
about the show is it's generally evergreen. Yeah. I think
we pretty much talked about I think Kelsey and.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
We did that for fifteen seconds and it was the only.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Timely thing, you know, Yeah, we know they were going
to get you know.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
I went out and played some golf in New Jersey
and the air was close.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Oh it was very close.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Yeah, the mon's close. Goodness, And nobody I was playing
with had ever heard that. And we had a caddy one.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Day, really in New Jersey, that's about where that's that's
the area where it's kind of well.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
It's a bunch of cans and is out there. So
we had a caddy one day and the caddies he's
working his tail off right, running ahead four caddy and
finding my ball in the woods constantly.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
So was he a four caddy? Was a caddy caddy fore.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Caddy, Okay, And so he's sprinting around.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
For those of you who don't know anything about golf,
if you are playing at a place where you have
a fore caddy, it's a fancy schmancy place. You don't
have fore caddy four Caddy's just somebody to find your
stray golf balls. You read the punts do this. He's
not lugging the bag correct, right, correct, But you feel bad.
(47:27):
He's like a golf valet.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yeah it's nice.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
It's like, yes, it's nice.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
He's never you know, he I didn't lose the ball
all day.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
But he's sprinting around. So he's sweating buckets because.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
It is thick.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Okay, the air is close, and so I was like,
how you doing, pal, you know, I like the sixth
hole or whatever.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I go.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
He's like, I'm okay, you know what I go. The
air is very close. Then he goes, yeah, correct. You
know everybody around me is.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
Like you talking about what are you talking about it?
Speaker 3 (48:02):
Anyway? So I knew and nobody else with did, and
that is because of this podcast.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
There you go, And I'll just say that we are
perhaps going to launch on doing some videos with our podcast,
and if we did, you would be get to see
that Joe is adorned in a lovely Vinny Pass Guentino
Passquatch T shirt and an old Kansas City whiz hat

bing bong very nice, whereas I am dressed stylishly that's
enough of that. We've got stuff that did hit the
cutting room floor, so come back another day for another

Welcome to Thursday Thursday. No, it was not canceled by
the powers that be. We are still here because the
powers that be are us. Yes, we are the powers
that be, So that's why we are here. And I
know I'm raring to go because on the run end
to this particular podcast, I was listening to Back in
(00:37):
Black by ac DC. And if that doesn't get you
pumped up, and Josh's laughing in the background because for
technical reasons that I won't explain, I've got him potted
down right now. But anyway, and I made me think
of and maybe we can get into this a little bit.
No one. I don't think anyone has delivered four minute
smack you in the face rock and roll like ACD.
(01:00):
You'd be hard pressed to figure out that that little
pocket that they've got handled. But anyway, so I'm fired up.
We got beers. We got beers from our boys at
Santa Fe Liquors at eighty seventh and Santa Fe. We
got some beers from our good friend of the podcast
Danny Miller The Topeka Titan. I just made that up
(01:22):
because it's alliteration anyway. So we got all kinds of
stuff to talk about. Chat joeck Chat Joe, and I'm
leaving that in Joe and we haven't dried. We need beer,
That's what we need, need beer, So I'll settle down.
Joe and I played golf yesterday. We had a wonderful day.
It's been ages since we did this, all kinds of material.
(01:43):
I was in Europe since then, and I sent eight
hundred million texts to Joe, so there's some of them
were thirsty Thursday oriented. I don't know what made the
cutting room floor what didn't, But all of it's wrapped
up in one on what should be a heady edition
of Thirsty Third Days, Sense and Nonsense.

we are back, Danny, six weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I think it's been I might, yeah, at least at
least I left for Europe on July twenty third, I
know that, And it was before then. So and I said,
this is going to be a heady addition. One of
the reasons is because our first beer is called Heady jams.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's Heady jams Man.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Is from Brick City Brewing Company Bricks with an X. Yes,
north Haven, Connecticut, not New Haven nor north Haven. New
Haven's where Yale is.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
By the way, it says, store cold, drink fresh, Danny.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And well, we store cold, and we're drinking it fresh.
And here I go, and I haven't had a sip
of liquid liquid since one o'clock and it's about four o'clock.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Here I just had a cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I think you're gonna like it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's good, a little little sweetness.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's a little bit of like bittery tang.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It does have bittery tang. Sweet. It's an eight percenter,
So a good way to start. Yeah, there's a little
bit of bitterness to it, but there's a little bit
of sweetness to it also, So I'm not gonna say,
you know, we've had some of recently, we have we
have such great beers, but we've had some you know,
(04:15):
seven eight percenters recently that.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Have you didn't even know?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
No bitter, Yeah, no bitterness, this one A little bit
of bitterness, but a good bitterness, I would say.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, I mean, as bitterness.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Goes, it's not bitter beer face bitter.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I'm gonna say seven point six.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm going to go a little lower than that. Actually
I like it, but I'm going to go seven to
seven to two on this one today. So well, it's
hitting the spot. I tell you to say, this is
my second I'm gonna usually the first sip on a
beer like this will be the best one because it's
the Christmas and it hasn't maybe the bitterness hasn't shown itself. Hey,
(04:52):
let me try the second one and see good. Not
adjusting that, not adjusting, changing, not changing.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
No. Yeah, we played a little golf yesterday, Danny.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That was really nice.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Now he hit the ball well, but didn't score that well,
but that's all right, you.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Know, I was. We were both happy. It was absolutely
gorgeous day. We went out to Augusta Tree National, but
it was closed for reasons that we're not told to
Joe because he was sitting at the gate when I
was that came.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Driving the Yeah, you know, I said, hey, you know,
looks like y'all are clothed, and they go, we are.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That was it, okay? And then he just kept eating
a hot dog.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Just shoved as much.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
We were hoping, you know, to Joe was hoping to
redeem DeSoto Golf because Joe and I am perfectly willing
and capable of destroying that golf course and telling people
never to even set foot on it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Oak Country, that other side of the river. It's terrible,
it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, I texted Joe, I played there many years ago.
I think I did twice, just by circumstance. I think
it was when I lived in Lawrence or whatever. And
Joe says, this is the worst. This golf course is dreadful,
or if something textically that I.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Said it was the worst golf course in North America,
I believe.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And I said, calling it a golf course is an
insult to golf courses. And then I said, burning tree
is augusta national compared to that.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Correct? God, yeah, my son and I went out. There's
only I didn't make a tea time in time, so
couldn't get in on anywhere but there, And it was
busy and they wanted thirty five dollars a piece to
play on it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Oh boy, and God bless him. I guess it just
took it. All I remember is it looked like some
guy had a big piece of farmland and he didn't
want to farm it anymore, so he carved out what
passes for a golf course mostly just tea boxes and
crappy greens and mow mow it in between.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, but it's you know, there's a lot of grass
in the fairways. It's just all dead so and covered
in grass cuppings, and every green is burnt up in
toast except for them. Eighteenth signature hole island Green.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh I think I remember that.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Who by the way, I banged it in the water.
My son hit it to six feet.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Nice. That place actually has eighteen holes. Wow, well I'll
give them credit for that eighteen If you want eighteen
full bad holes of golf, and.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
There's like five par threes on the back, which is
why I was able to hit in the seventh.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Thing that also makes it appalling, is okay they they
asked thirty five bucks. We played Dub's Dread for fifty
and it was great, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Don't tell anybody, really.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You know they're doing They're doing plenty of business.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You want to do some fat checking. Sure, six weeks ago, all.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Right, that's I can't even remember what we talked about.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Boy, it was a good I think it was a
good one. Go back and listen if you missed it.
I thought it was very entertaining when I listened to
it yesterday. We talked about a French beer and I
could see the bottle in my mind, and I said, oh,
it's called seventeen seventy six. It's not called seventeen seventy six.
It's called sixteen sixty four.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's right, that's right. Yep. Now now I can see it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know what, I would imagine something important happened in
sixteen sixty four in France.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But not really. No, that's what I thought, so I
thought that would be it. Dude. No, that's when the
Hat family began commercial brewing in Strasburg, France. Right, So
that just was that, that is it. It commemorates that
last time you used a word elopement. Yes, and you
were unsure if that was a word.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Well, I know elope ing is, but I don't know
about elopement.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Elopement is a word. Well, good, it means running the
way to get married.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It can also mean that when a patient leaves without
permission from a like a mental institution.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Wow, I mean like when the Cuckoo's Nest guys went
on the boat. Correct, I'm pop by the Sasler man,
remember that, I do. That's a great movie, by the way,
if you haven't never seen one Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
It's a dark comedy, but there's a lot of just
regular old comedy in it. But it ends up being
(09:32):
a dark story. But a fantastic book. Did you ever
read the book?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Read the book for sure?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, better book than movie in my oinon often the case.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
That is one of the movies that I've heard people
say they think it's a better movie than a book.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Though, uh, well, it's a fantastic movie. But I'll say
that I think All the President's Men is a better
movie than book. I like the book, but it's really
really in depth. But the movie I think does just
as good a job of telling the story with entertainment
(10:06):
in it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Shash Ank Redemption better movie than book.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Okay, right, haven't Obviously I've seen the movie, but I
haven't read the book.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's a short story, Stephen King. Right, Okay, Danny, last
time on the pod, you said that you were a
very patient man.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I am a patient man. Okay, And almost everything.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yesterday, we're playing golf, we're flying, We get done in
no time. Right. We have not seen anybody in front
of us the whole time. We get to the seventeen
pole and the first time we have to wait. We
gotta wait on these three guys right button. It turns
out we know them.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, but we we.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Gotta wait on these guys. And we're waiting, you know,
a little longer we should be. Looks like there's a
conversation going on out there. Yeah, and you had some
words for these guys up there. How you didn't say
to them.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
No, I said, oh, come on, fellows, you know the
thousand dollars Nassa is all well, and good, but they
were putting for three of them calling you out, Nate,
Nate Bucaty and his dad in front of us, right,
and and one other person I don't know who that was,
and they're just dawdling up there. And then elder Bukaty
kind of sash eight off the front of the green too.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So anyway, that.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Was the seventeenth hole and we only had one whole remaining,
so that that was fine. We had a beautiful day.
We played in about you know, for two of us,
and there were a few people on the golf course
which we didn't really run into. I think we played
in about three twenty.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And you'd say, you're a patient man.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I am a patient man, but I do not, okay,
I did not suffer fools gladly, uh huh. And I
thought they were being foolishly long on the grid. That's
all I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I've I'm going to keep an eye out for your
for you demonstrating patients. Although you may say that playing
golf with me is demonstrating on your behalf.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
No, I've played golf with all stripes of golfers. And
one thing we talked about afterwards is the fact that
when we're out there playing golf. We're good friends. We
like to talk about many, many things, and when we're
playing golf, it's pretty much all golf. Yes, we're not
like we're just so serious that it's a heart attack
out there. But we're concentrating on our golf. We are
(12:23):
talking about our shots.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And we weren't losing balls.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Right, very fine.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You said that FDR was elected in nineteen thirty two.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, you said.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I don't even need to look up, right, and you
were correct.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh thank you. Jeez. For a half second, I'm like,
this can't be not true. What's he going to say?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Of course he went on to serve most of four terms.
That's right, right.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Let's hope history does not repeat itself. That's all I'll say,
without being political.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Well, if there was a third term, that might be
a bit of a smash and grab. Yeys, you brought
up last time.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Oh right, good.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So smash and grab originated in Britain in the twentieth
century to describe a quick theft where criminals smashed a
window and grab valuables. So that's what I said last time.
That makes me a genius, I'm.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Correct, of course. Now it's used generally in soccer about
a game that you have no business winning, that you do.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I've got really this is it really interesting? You asked
for this fact check? Why was a fish named crappy? Why?
And what's the derivation of effort? Right? Crappy? Crappy?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
People call it crappy. It's spelled exactly like crappy would be,
except i e. Instead of why.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, okay, and you said it maybe from a French word,
is what you had said last time. It gets its
name from the Canadian French word crap. A.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, it was the ie that made me think French.
That's all.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
It was used to describe various different kinds of sunfish.
So uh, you wondered the last time does it have
something to do with the word crap? And it does not.
Linguistic roots has nothing to do with the word crap.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's great. So sunfish, You know what, why don't they
just go back to calling.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
At sunfish seems like a better name.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It does seem like a better name.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
That's what calling you rather.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You know, sit down, you know, have your wife say, oh,
we're going to serve up some sunfish.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Sunfish, right, some baked foot sunfish. It's like Chilean sea bass.
You know that's not a real fish, right, that's just
they made that up.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh really, yes, they.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Just made that. Restaurants made that up.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'll fact check that, so it's pretty sure. So it's
just a sea bass, but they caught said it was
from Chili.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I think it or it's not all a bunch of
different fish Chilean sea bass, because it's not a real
that's what I think. I'll look at it. I see
like they just came up with it in order to
serve you more fish because we're running out of fish, Danny.
I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Well, I can imagine eventually we're going to have problems
with that. You know, we know that there's bad things
going on for the environment in many ways. You know
that is true, but you know, okay fake news if
you like.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
So another word from last time you wondered, is stratifying
a word?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Stratifying?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah? You use that word stratifying?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, I think that's a word.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
It is a word. Do you know you want to
take a shot at what it means or one of
the three things it means? Well, where it's.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Used stratifying, is it like categorizing very close.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yes, it means to a range or form into layers
of strata, right, like geology or sociology or gardening, right
like strata in the ground. Right. So there you go, buddy,
that is that is our fact check. It's been so long,
I don't remember how we transition this, but I do
have a question for you that I thought up yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Right, Well, so I guess all those texts you're We're
not going to get into any.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Of them, my man, come on, work. We got a
lot on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Do we do yes or not on the cutting room floor?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, not yet, I'll do this right. I have to know.
One of the great things we did early on in
this podcast is I would just ask you about something. Okay,
So Danny, yes, Joe, give me your opinion on milk,
cow's milk. When's the last time you had a glass
of milk?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
A long time? But that was more for weight reasons
when I got to the point where I decided I
had to watch my weight all the time, which I've
done it basically now my entire life since I was
like twenty four.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, so it's been like, oh seven years since.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
We had It's been a long time. It's it hasn't
been a half century, but it's been a long time.
But I very much enjoyed milk when I was a kid.
And in fact, I don't know if we've told I've
told this story, but if I had, so what we
used to go like play basketball in the summertime and
play until we were about to drop and we come
(17:08):
back and have you know, get out a gallon of
milk and put it over ice and drink O.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
My god, really ice.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, milk was over ice. It was I remember it
being delicious. I've had a sip of milk or two
in the time then, and it just is like I
might as well just have put a spoon into a
tub of butter and stuck it in my mouth. I
couldn't even know, So, yeah, long time since I've had milk.
I don't eat cereal. I don't eat breakfast.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So did you eat breakfast cereal when you're a kid?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I did? What was it?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
What kind of breakfast cereal?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
What did I like? Wheaties was one of my favorites. Yeah,
what do they call the biscuits? The big biscuits? Oh yeah,
cree not cream of wheat. Wheat something wheat. Yeah, those
big biscuits that were wheat. And we used to boil
water and pour hot water over to make them soft
(18:12):
and then put milk on it, so it was a
hot It was a shredded wheat. Shredded wheat, yes, and
not the little mini shredded wheat, the big, big, you
know bread side you know, sort of like the size
of a bread loaf, a little breadmaaf. Yeah, so I
probably have two in a bowl. Yeah, I like that.
I didn't like any of the sugary cereals. I don't
(18:33):
think I ate any of the sugary cereals. Oh no,
I did eat Captain Crunch.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Captain Crunch, were there crunchberries involved? No, they were not
its pre crunchberry.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It was pre pre crunch. That'd be a good fact check, okay,
they you know, I definitely know when I started to
eat Capvin Crunch there were no crunchberries. The crunchberry may
have come along pretty quickly, but I wouldn't have opted
for something so exotic anyway. And I didn't really mostly
like because Captain Crunch isn't that sweet, or at least
at least it wasn't in my memory.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I'm going to guess that crunchberries came along in the
mid to late eighties because I feel like I remember
it as a kid.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh, I think they came along pretty quickly. Yes, I
would imagine that there were crunchberries when you were a kid,
no doubt.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, But I think they came out.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's my guess for the f Oh you mean they
came out came.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Out in the mid to late eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Okay, well there is.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
When they debuted. That's what I think.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Back in the forties, when I was eating.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yes, come on this boat, it's a fun bud, to
be honest. What about chocolate milk or strawberry milk.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I think I dabbled a little bit in strawberry milk,
not really like in chocolate milk too much. I think
I had. I think I went through a short chocolate
milk phase. I when I first balloon in wait was
after my basketball season, my senior year of high school.
Because I was a voracious eater. But you know, we
(19:59):
were acting kids, active kids, and I was playing on
the basketball team too, so that we're running sprints every
day whatever. But my average you know, like consumption before
pre dinner, pre dinner time, which we called supper in Bustin.
I would have go to school and they had donuts.
(20:20):
They had fresh donuts at school. Yeah, we had fresh donuts.
So I had two chocolate covered cake donuts with what
we called Jimmy's sprinkles.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay, sprinkles were called Jimmy's.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
They're called Jimmy's. Yeah, like on your ice cream and everything. Yeah, Jimmy.
Everybody calls them Jimmy's. That was. I didn't even know
what sprinkles were until I came out here, so they
were they were called jimmy. So I'd have two of
those in the morning, and then I would have our
lunch was I'll give you an idea.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Served you breakfast fresh donuts at school for free.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
No, they were you had to pay for them, okay,
but they were twelve cents a peace, I remember that.
And then lunch was forty eight cents, and I would
get two of them, two lunches. I'd walk through and i'd,
you know, the lunch ladies would be there and I mean,
I'm getting a double lunch. And so the average double
lunch would be like two big suit servings of spaghetti,
(21:24):
two servings of green beans, and then you used to
get a little peanut butter and half a peanut butter
sandwich on the side. That was a side thing. So
I got two of those, so that was my And
then I had double milk.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, because you had milk with that all.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I ate all that food. So then I stopped. You know,
I just played golf in the spring. And the difference
between my picture in my basketball picture and my golf
team picture, it looks like, you know, a fat ads
didn't reverse. Really yeah, I mean I wasn't fat in
the second picture. I gained like twenty five pounds from Wow. Yeah,
(22:03):
because I gain weight. Like if I've said this before,
if if I was cast in a movie, if somebody said, hey,
we're offering you two million dollars to play Fatty Fatty Danny,
I could. I could gain thirty pounds in no six weeks.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You say that, but when's the last time you really
gained weight.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I never have gained weight since I was you know,
since I you know, I worked in Delhi on Christmas
break during college, and I gained twenty four pounds in
twenty two days. I had to pick up the doughnuts
when I did morning drive for a couple of weeks
and another time in college and I did about the
(22:44):
same I gained about twenty five pounds in two weeks.
That's wild, And since then I haven't had any excessive.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You're supposed to be a bigger dude, Danny.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
My doctors have said that I could put on a
little bit of weight, but I just my response is
that is not happening.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
So the reason I like the wait a mat So
the reason this milk thing came up? Yes, okay, So
in our house, milk has sort of thought of as poison.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, really you don't like milk? I love it. Oh okay, I.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Love having milk and cookies. But uh, you know, they
say you need it for calcium, when you get calcium
from broccoli. They say you need it for protein. You
get protein from a lot of healthy resources. My daughter
and my wife are a little bit lactose and tolerance.
So okay, we have like a little thing of milk
that lasts us like a week.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Right, And you do you take milk in your coffee? No,
you're a black coffee mail?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, all Express, all Espresso, Danny, and
all black. But we get an email from the cross
Country team because Lyla going to make varsity for freshman year.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
They want her to drink milk.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And they're having this run over the weekend and they're
asking for volunteers to bring gatorades and waters and chocolate
milk for them to drink after the race. And it
was so weird to me to think, you go and
work out and you're hot, you just ran for seven miles.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It would seem weird to me, except I did it
when I was young.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Why I wanted to ask you that, because yeah, I
would come in from play and pick up basketball for
three hours and like pound two or three honey buns
and then just pull the milk out of the fridge
and just chug it. I remember being so thirsty and
just like.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Downing, thinking milk is refreshing. Yeah, I know, I got.
It's like it's appalling. He grows. Yeah it is. It's gross.
It's not Joey Chestnut gross, but it's gross. It's gross.

Danny Miller, a longtime public school teacher and I have
a great admiration for public school teachers, and he was
a coach. Also, his song Oh Oh, Joe gives it.
I haven't even tad mine yet. I almost wish I
had a little palate cleanser in between.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You're not gonna need it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Okay, this is going to be a palate cleanser in itself.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, this is this is a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Hmmm. By the way, we both agreed that we probably
slightly overrated the heady jams.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Maybe maybe more than slightly right.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Hetty jams is okay, this is good. This is a
good fest. October Fest. This plain old Octoberfest from Great
Lakes Brewing Company, clearly in the Great Lakes. But I
can't read. I can't. I should it's such an interesting Yeah,
it is Octoberfest. You got a lot of flavor.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You know, it's october Fest.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I'm trying to find the details, but I've already opened
the can, so I really can't turn it very.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Very after her like five seconds. It leaves a little
bit of like residuey bitterness on the back of your tongue.
But that could just be heady gams hanging out back there.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
That could be. This is a lot of flavor. This
is like a this is a here we'll get let's
get a little.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
This is a complicated brew. I mean, Octoberfest is usually
kind of a plane straight forward. This is a this
is a heady heady That was the other stuff. This
is complicated. I just can't. Can you find where that
is here?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I mean, there's no way I'm going to be.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I can see, I'm close, but it's it's just where
it is. I'm not seeing it. Lakes Brewing Company.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Oh, fact check it for next.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, there we go. It's forth Great Lakes Brewing Company,
and I'm clearly it's I think this is a Michigan beer.
If you're looking for blue can oh it's Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio.
I found Great Lakes Brewing Company, Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Cleveland, Ohio, close to Cincinnati, right, not really home of
Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
All right, yes, we're you're taping this on Tuesday, and
that was the day that Tayte Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
It is?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Ye and Travis announced their engagement.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Very happy for them. My wife and daughter are very excited.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'll say this. The Boston Globe, Beat, the Athletic, and
the Kansas City Star on my email feed they had
it first.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I got a text from my daughter that's how there
you go? Seven seven point five?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Uh yeah, yeah, seven six. I'll give it. And as
we said, we're downgrading about a half a point on
the heady jams.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, I'm tired. Whatever the whole point.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I think, now you're being a little rough on teddy jams.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Well, now I got a nacover fest of my belly
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
There, there's a nice picture of a burly arm hoisting
a mighty mug.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I will tell you a stine.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I would call that a steine. That's more of a stine.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
And this is not an eight percent the heady jams was.
If you had five or six heady jams, you might
be hungover, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
This is a This is a hefty six point five though.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Okay, I'm surprised seven or eight of those and I
might be hungover.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh yeah, Do you know where the.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Word hungover comes from? Then?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I don't. I'm trying to think of what the derivation
would be. You know, that's one thing that's a fortunate
thing for a man who's a longtime runner than avid exerciser.
I don't really get hungover.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Well you also you don't drink like wild man.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
No, but I've been known to throw down a pretty
good amount of beers in an evening. Huh. I mean
the other day would have been a watching the golf,
would have been a day where I might have got
hungover because I was nervous and drinking quite a bit
of beers.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I made you toasted scotch.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
We had a toast of scotch at like eleven o'clock
when Tommy Fleetwood won, finally making our family very happy.
So no, but I do remember when I was running,
and maybe I would have had it kind of a
crazy night. The first mile was a rough one, but
that was it and I was there was no hangover,
(31:15):
so good for you.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Do you want to give me a guess where it
comes from?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Hang over?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Uh? Huh?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
A German word? Yeah, so too many bass in, too
many bass hangover.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
That's out of the little Asian.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I'm just gonna so the second part. Did I think
I did a pretty good German one the first time?
The good yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Uh. In Victorian England, the cheapest way to rent a
room in air quotes was to rent a spot on
a road where you could hang over it so you
didn't have to sleep on the ground. And a lot
of times drunks were broken.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
That's all they could afford, so they would just hang
over a rail.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Literally, there's pictures of it. I saw the picture. It's wild.
They're like hanging over a clothes line. It's just sleeping
like across their.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Chest, so that they wouldn't sleep on the ground.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, because imagine how disgusting the streets were in Victorian English.
I would and everything else.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yes, Now, while yes I would that that's that's an
interesting one, not like most of them aren't, but that
one's really now, I wouldn't. I couldn't have. I could
have spent a long time trying to write yes, and
I wouldn't have gone there.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Well, let's see what you do. How you do with
the second one, buddy, if you slept on If I
slept on one of those ropes and I was hungover,
I might be a little salty.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Right.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Where do you think salty comes from?
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I mean saying that somebody's salty?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I would say that's more like a cattle drive thing
something like that. Mmm.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Interesting. Now, boy, Navy think sea think salty?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
O solid.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
When the sailors would be out at sea.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
For a really long time, yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
They get really pissy. I mean there's no women out
at sea, first of all. No. Secondly, the food's not great.
Ooping around all your buddies forever, you're taking your thimble
of lime juice a day so you don't get scurvy
right anyway, So when they would come back ashore, right,
they would be pissy and people would be like, oh,
(33:25):
this guy's a little salty wow from being out on
the seat, Danny.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Can you imagine how refreshing? Oh you know, I think
it would be a bath back in the day, like
you're coming into town and you know, you get into
a tub. That would be because I don't think there
was here's a here's a fact check. I wonder when
the shower was invented.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Hmmm, you know, because I saw Bugs money cartoon one time.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
And Bugs was taking a shower.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
There was a the King of England back in Victorian
times taking a shower. I don't know, what's your guess,
I'll look it up.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I don't you know. I think this is a good
one because I don't I could see it being you know,
seventeen eighty, or I could see it being eighteen eighty
or nineteen ten.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
I think it's Rome, really, Oh but it's the Roman baths. Yes,
but I bet you they had personal showers in their houses.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Okay, with a guy to like pour hot water into it.
Oh boy, shower.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Boy, I'm gonna go this will be a good one
because I'm going to say it's later because it's you know,
because of the you know, technology involved. Although you could
just write, you could just have a big bucket over
your head and poke holes in it. But I it
seems like people would be so in tuned to like
(34:51):
in our I don't think I took a shower until
I was mid teens.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Crazy waste of water.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, we used to bathe. Now it's pretty disgusting. You know,
you get four clink scale boys in a row taking
a bath. You know, you get the left you didn't
like dump there's enough hot water. We fill a tub
four times.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
So everybody out there that's younger, it is true. This
is what would happen. And I'm barely young enough that
I didn't have to do it, like, but kids just six, seven,
eight years old than me will talk about this sharing
water right in the bathtub.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Oh yeah, you one to get out of there. I
need to get in and get my bath.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yeah, and you're heating.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
You just leave it in there, or you might you
might throw a little bit of fresh hot water. Oh yeah,
you know, but you weren't going to have enough.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, you're heating that water with heating will out on
the East coast anyway.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Right, I would assume it has to be delivered. I
don't know what's expensive. I don't know what we had.
All I know is that there was no way you
were doing four fresh tubs of hot water. That was
not happening. Coming home, I'm like, then, oh yeah, well
by then, I think I took it. I think then once,
I think once you I think it was probably school
(36:08):
school based. I bet oh that once you, you know,
maybe start playing sports and you saw that there was
a shower or you had to take a shower. It's
not like you're gonna take a bath and you're like,
you know, that's pretty good. I think that's better than
a bath.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
You know, I said that showers are wasteful of water.
I bet you, oh, I showers use less water than
a bath.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Oh yeah, right, one hundred percent. I mean if you
just take a regular you know, one h oh. I don't.
I don't think there's any way that I did at
a bath. A shower takes it.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I just want to retract that statement from earlier where
I said that baths are a waste or showers are
a waste of water, because that's so wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yeah, I mean you could take a I think you
could take a shower that would fill up a bath.
But I don't even want to ask. You have a son,
so what are you doing in there?
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I got a couple of teenagers and they take long showers, Daddy.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I'll take a long shower every now and then sometimes,
you know, just because I want to, You know, I do.
I do a lot of stretching in the shower. I
do some kind of yoga stretching.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Do you ever take a bath anymore?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Almost never? Occasionally used to take one every We have
a nice big you know, yeah, we do soaking tub whatever.
We don't have jets in it. But so I used
to a little bit more. And it's been a while
since I've taken a bath.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Those old get those old bones. You said your back hurts,
Get your old bones in there. Yeah, and hey, if
you're going to take a bath, maybe you would want
to hang up a do not disturb sign.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Right. This is one of the texts, the thirsty texts
I sent Joe from Europe. We had a very We're
in a very nice hotel, and you know, we had
a obviously a week on the Viking River Creuse, so
we had a room there and I think that was
I think that was the derivation of it. Actually was
the one on the on the boat and you put
(38:12):
the two not disturbed signs and they just fall off routinely. Now,
there was a short period of time, but this.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Is only an issue because they come to clean your
room like six times.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
A day, right right, yeah, but it's just annoying. You know,
you set it and then you go to leave and
it comes flying off, or you shut the door comes
flying off. I mean it's very poor, very poor. Now,
there was a one I thought of it today because
I knew we were going to talk about this. There
was a short period of time when they had an
effective one no, which which was when they first started
(38:43):
using the sliding key cards and then you could insert
the do not disturb.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
This isn't this is not just from this trip. You
are mad about do not disturbed signs.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
For a long time large at large. But that that
period of time between you know a y u huh
and now you know you just tap it, that was
pretty good because you'd put it in the slot, it
would slide in there. Yeah, you put it in the
slot and would stay there. That was fine, but I
said it was a pitch battle. But it's not the
(39:14):
easily the worst innovation, and they've got to do better.
They've just got to do better. Come on, I'm gonna
buy you one to take when you because you say
you have a good one.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I do my I'm a I'm a nap taker. I'm
unabashed about it.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Her.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I think a twenty or thirty minute nap every day.
It makes me fresh and I work a ton of
hours and it's one of the ways I can do that.
So my team kind of knows that they used to
make fun of me for it. Now they don't. So
for Christmas, they bought me a do not disturb sign
made of like thick, like seventies plastic, right, you know,
like when plastic was awesome, right, And it just it's
(39:50):
just big enough to fit over the door handle and
so solid and it's solid and it stayste put and
that you know. I think the problem is not the
do not disturb sign. I think the problem is the
hardware on the door.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, but they should be able to work around it.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
They're not knobs anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
It's like the things. They'll give you some time to
put on your mirror on your car, you know, like
a hanging tag. Those aren't very good either, But but
it's a distance second to the worst innovation and the
greatest scam in business history. Okay, the automatic hand dryer.
(40:35):
Those things blow. There's no other way to put it.
They suck. They don't work.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
You.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
You're better off just.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Going no, No, nobody uses them. Well, you put your
hand out of there for two seconds and then you
just wipe myne gs, right, I mean everybody does, and
then you're But sometimes.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
I try it again just to confirm that they still suck.
You know, you sit there, you're rub your hands and
fifteen twenty seconds and it's blowing up a storm. I mean,
it's making noise, and then there's still boys.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
And it's blowing all over you too. It's just that's
the problem.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
They care. They keep selling them this.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I can get behind you know, I can get behind that. Look,
if you don't want paper towels, you could do what
they did back in the day when I was a kid.
Do you remember the cloth roller?
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, yeah, of towels kind of gross, but no, it's
always clean. Do you know that No, I thought there
was why it was a spinner one. No, it rolls
back up into a spool. Then they take that and
they launder it and bring it back. Well, I think
maybe if some of the places I went, they weren't
as attentive about laundering, said roll.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
Listen, I went to a lot of truck stops as
a kid, and I'm sure they were not laundered.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Because I would go to what right, white like dry
my face.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
My Dad'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's what.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
I mean, use your I think I think they maybe
that was why they went away because they weren't. They
probably if they had used them the way they were
intended to be used.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
There would have been a good it'd be better for
the environment. Uh you know, I think there's probably people
listening that don't know what we're talking about. There was
a real towel right on a big spool and you
pull on.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
It right and it would have sort of spin rotate
around through the Yeah, that was that was pretty good,
as you said. If it was if they did it
the way that you said that, they would take it out,
they'd launder it, they put a fresh one in there.
Except in my memory, it was usually kind of rancid
and dirty, but still so still better. Better you could
(42:42):
at least you're gonna get your hands.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
And if you use soap and it looked and is
relatively clean, then you're all right.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
If everybody's cooperating automatic I want if anybody is a
fan of the automatic hand dryer, and if you're I
hope we're making this clear. It's the thing that blows
supposedly got air. Although you know the thing is now
they've mastered the art of scamming these walmart of the
(43:13):
world or whatever, because they kind of fancy them up.
Now you know, you're go into an airport and there'll
be one with a little yellow on it.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
There are varying degrees. There's the diceon that like really
kind of get your hands clean or dry, and you
got to put your hands down in it. But they
don't touch the.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Sides right right. Even the worst of the.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Automatic handryer, if that's even what you should be calling
it is McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Now, I know you're not a McDonald's user, so I
haven't been there for a while.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
I am a McDonald's user. I love me some McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
For a breakfast.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
Yes, and I'm going there. I'm gonna wash my hands
first because I'm not a savage, because I'm gonna eat,
so you gotta get your hands clean, right. It is
like the breath of a baby.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
How about how about a sleeping dog when the dog,
your dog's a sleeping going that is about.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
That's about the same verocity or what was the word
you used earlier about Oh my gosh, what was it.
Oh no, that wasn't you.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
That was somebody stratisfied velocity would be the better. But yeah,
they blow so anyway, that was one of the things
I sent Joe. But so so yes, the the hanging
do not disturb is dreadful, but it does not go
to all the way to blow chunks, which is a
disgusting phrase. You know what, sometimes I don't know if
(44:46):
you're my wife. Is his a sort of high tone
but normally still reasonably down to earth, But occasionally I'll
just say something and she'll go, that's so disgusting. Don't
you ever say that again? And so I I said something,
and I'm trying to think of the context. I may
not be able to before this is get to the punchline.
(45:09):
But I said, oh, no, I'm not going to say it.
I'll tell you that. But anyway, the phrase is it
made me throw up in my mouth. Oh and I
said that the other day and she had a fit.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (45:24):
That's disgusting. Don't you ever say that?
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Have you ever seen those people that if you go, it's.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Worse than what you were saying that you're throwing your mouth,
you know what it was about, what you're complaining about.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Have you ever seen those people where you go and
you kind of make that noise and then they can't
help it but gag, almost throw up. Oh my god,
these are like the funny that's get it on my
TikTok all the time, not Danny, it's so funny. There
are people who if you make the gagging sound, it's
like infectious, like they can't help but gag. Oh it's hilarious.
(45:54):
But I could see your wife being like, don't say
these things. They're discussing, Danny. They're discussed right. Yeah, well, uh,
you know, we've got lots of things to talk about,
but we might be want to close out of town
out of time here.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
You're going to want to pick a you know, a
real rosy one and then saved save it. You know,
these are this show. Is one of the good things
about the show is it's generally evergreen. Yeah. I think
we pretty much talked about I think Kelsey and.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
We did that for fifteen seconds and it was the only.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Timely thing, you know, Yeah, we know they were going
to get you know.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
I went out and played some golf in New Jersey
and the air was close.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Oh it was very close.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Yeah, the mon's close. Goodness, And nobody I was playing
with had ever heard that. And we had a caddy one.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Day, really in New Jersey, that's about where that's that's
the area where it's kind of well.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
It's a bunch of cans and is out there. So
we had a caddy one day and the caddies he's
working his tail off right, running ahead four caddy and
finding my ball in the woods constantly.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
So was he a four caddy? Was a caddy caddy fore.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Caddy, Okay, And so he's sprinting around.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
For those of you who don't know anything about golf,
if you are playing at a place where you have
a fore caddy, it's a fancy schmancy place. You don't
have fore caddy four Caddy's just somebody to find your
stray golf balls. You read the punts do this. He's
not lugging the bag correct, right, correct, But you feel bad.
(47:27):
He's like a golf valet.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yeah it's nice.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
It's like, yes, it's nice.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
He's never you know, he I didn't lose the ball
all day.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
But he's sprinting around. So he's sweating buckets because.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
It is thick.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Okay, the air is close, and so I was like,
how you doing, pal, you know, I like the sixth
hole or whatever.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I go.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
He's like, I'm okay, you know what I go. The
air is very close. Then he goes, yeah, correct. You
know everybody around me is.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
Like you talking about what are you talking about it?
Speaker 3 (48:02):
Anyway? So I knew and nobody else with did, and
that is because of this podcast.
Speaker 2 (48:08):

perhaps going to launch on doing some videos with our podcast,
