  [crickets chirping] Dig it. [upbeat rock music] Devil Dog Podcast has arrived!
• 0:21
  Hey, welcome, uh, ladies and gentlemen. [crickets chirping] Crickets are in the house. Ladies and gentlemen [tapping microphone] And crickets- Are you there?... of all ages.
• 0:31
  I just noticed while turning towards the Gizmatron that I haven't actually made any moves on this game in- [clears throat]... a very long time. [laughs] Oh, you playing against, uh, Kasparov? Uh, I don't know.
• 0:44
  [laughs] I can't, I can't do it. I'm not no five-dimensional chess player Spock-looking guy here. [laughs] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Uh, yes, Mr. Kasparov, Xav- Vlav- Vlav- Vlav- Vladislav Kasparov, Gary. Them Russians.
• 1:00
  Gary Kasparov. Those Russkies are good at, at chess. Yeah, they are. Got nothing better to do but drink vodka and play some chess. And we, and we are the pawn. [laughs] And we are the pawn.
• 1:11
  A little stereotyping there, brother. Oh, oh, yes. Oh, boy. Potato juice-drinkin' mother... [laughs] Hey, it ain't no stereotype to say that was at least a 500-year flood this past weekend. [laughs] Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:29
  Everybody always says it was, but this kinda was. [laughs] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, yeah, I got some friend, like, a friend, uh... Oh, [sighs] his...
• 1:39
  He's staying with his dad on Root River, and woo, I mean, that's already- That's already flood zone-... flood plain... in, in, like, a couple inches of rain. Yeah. Yeah. And so yeah, he got hit pretty damn hard.
• 1:50
  [clears throat] Well, we were... I, I didn't know if you'd already gone outside. I was talking to Nikolai from, uh, VTX Tools right next door,
• 1:58
  and he said that one of their Airbnbs in Glendale got over 100 grand in damage in the basement because they had... It was, like, game room, TV, bedroom, bedroom, whatever, whatever. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:09
  And now it's, was under six feet of water. [laughs] Yeah. It's been- Yeah. Um, we...
• 2:16
  Well, I d- I do w- I, I avoided it, and I was surprised that the shop avoided it because a lot of times there's a space right next to me that if the w- uh, rain is coming the wrong way, there's a garage door on the second floor of this building, and if it's pounding on it from the north- Uh...
• 2:31
  it'll, it'll ingress there, and then it'll sneak underneath the wall, and it'll be over on my side. Yeah.
• 2:37
  But I got, I got there thinking, "Oh, I'm gonna have to, you know, do a bunch of vacuum and all this," and, and fortunately it didn't because I have a bunch of stuff over there that shouldn't get wet. Sure.
• 2:47
  Oh, God, yeah. But it just, it made me realize my basement, in the 27 or eight years we've been in our house, has never, ever been flooded. Very rare.
• 2:58
  If you don't get the Roto-Rooter guy there often enough, there'll be a little water backup just, you know, just around the drain. You're like, "Oh, time to call the Roto-Rooter guy." But, uh, it did make me think that
• 3:10
  if it did ever happen, there is so much stuff down there that I would just be like, "Ah." [mimics crying] [sighs] But it's just stuff. Oh- No, it's not just stuff, God damn it. Well, a lot of it is books and- Yeah...
• 3:23
  and just stuff that- Oh, it'd be-... you know, it's like I don't wanna lose them, but I don't have anywhere really to put them. Yeah.
• 3:29
  Although, I, I don't know if I mentioned it last week, we, we did sell the, uh [smacks lips] uh, Omnium, the acoustic Omnium. Mm-hmm.
• 3:37
  So that, that makes some room for some boxes in the warehouse if I really [laughs] need to put- Right, right, right... them in there. Right. But, uh, oy vey. So yeah. Yeah, I just had, uh, just, uh, [smacks lips]
• 3:47
  a little bit of leakage, but that... It's kind of any, any big storm. I mean, this was huge storm. Yeah.
• 3:55
  But I mean, like a, like a sustained rain event, it'll pool kind of in a little bit of a area, and kinda just slowly seep against the wall and maybe collect a little bit, but nothing of a flooding.
• 4:08
  Then you kinda- Maybe a little puddle splash. Yeah, you kinda- Like, "Oh, shit"... you kinda know where that is- Yeah... so you don't put any- Right...
• 4:13
  important things- Or have everything just, you know, like, six inches off the ground. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Kinda- For sure. You know, yeah, totally, totally dodged a bullet.
• 4:21
  [clears throat] But yes, we kinda split the [mimics whooshing]. Yeah. Split the uprights this... I mean, selfishly. [laughs] We were fine on the full moon beach ride, let's just say that.
• 4:34
  Well, here's the deal about that because we were standing at... That's a... Is that a... That's a Legion post or VFW? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. VFW, Legion. I think it's a Legion post. Mm-hmm.
• 4:42
  And we're standing under the overhang outside, and it's raining. Mm-hmm. And I'm looking over to the side, and it's coming 90 degrees from coming straight. It's, it's horizontally raining. Yeah.
• 4:55
  So it was coming- I mean- It was coming hard... yeah, 'cause I, I parked, I parked, what, 20 feet away? Yeah. And right in me, right at me. I was, I was soaked just in that- Yeah... like, quick dash.
• 5:05
  So we were on the, what would it be, leeward side of the building. [laughs] Right. [laughs] Out of, out of the deluge.
• 5:12
  And for whatever reason, uh, uh, it happened that it stopped right about the time we were planning on leaving anyway. Yes. At, like, 8:30 at night. Uh-huh. The full moon is supposed to rise.
• 5:25
  Now, of course, with all the clouds and stuff- [laughs]... we did not actually see a full moon, but by gosh, if that lightning display- Oh... wasn't just as good or better.
• 5:33
  That was a full-on light show, and yeah, it transitioned completely well. But yeah. Yeah. It has, has that picture that you, that you took- Yeah. Well, that-... it resonates- And I- I mean, it was like, whoa. Yeah.
• 5:46
  [laughs] That was, that was a luck one because it was when a lightning strike happened, but it wasn't looking directly at it, and everybody- Mm-hmm... you guys are all just like, "Oh." [laughs] Oh. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 5:56
  Um- It's like this is... Yeah, I've been showing that one around like, see, this is not him using a flash. This is the lightning being- Being a fl-... as the flash... being the flash, yeah.
• 6:05
  [laughs] I, I, I really wanted to... I didn't realize how actually dark it is out there, especially like that because normally when we're doing a full moon and it's clear out- It's easy to ride with no lights. Yeah.
• 6:15
  It's, it's, it's pretty... You can see pretty well once you get your, your eyes used to it, and I was hoping to be able to capture some of that, uh, essence on video, but it was so dark, couldn't see anything. Mm.
• 6:25
  Mm-hmm. Yeah. And, uh, I was, I was kinda surprised Mr. Trusky rode back most of the way without a light. I was- Yeah. Yeah, I...
• 6:32
  It, it kinda threw me off because at one point he was, like, kinda in my pocket, and I was like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. Didn't... No, didn't realize you were right there." [laughs] Yeah. Same thing with Tony.
• 6:42
  He, either his light went off- He did not-... or something of that nature... Yeah, he had like, he had, like, a hippopotamus-looking light. Yeah, it was cute, but- [laughs]... not really functional.
• 6:51
  It did [laughs] not, did not illuminate. [laughs] And y- it's a fine line to draw when you do need to see, but you don't wanna ruin the experience, especially- Yeah, yeah.
• 7:00
  You don't wanna be casting that, like, the shadow on the guy in front of you. Right... where that, then that guy is, like, staring at his shadow. Like- 'Cause I've done... I've been that guy- Yeah...
• 7:09
  where I'm like, "Dude, seriously, you can turn off the deer light behind me." Because you can see in front of me with my light. Put it down, please. Please. You know, like- Yeah. No.
• 7:18
  And, and, and, uh, it- And I was trying to be self-aware to not do that. Sure. Well, I, you know, some people bailed.
• 7:24
  I think they missed out on probably the best beach ride we've had in, I dunno, at least five years, because we haven't done a whole bunch of them.
• 7:31
  [laughs] But, uh, next time you think you should stay home, maybe come out- Don't... and do it anyway.
• 7:37
  I mean, the worst case, what would've happened, is we would've gone over to Schooners and sat around and had some beers and, and it still would've been a good time. Yeah. But- Yeah, yeah, yeah...
• 7:45
  there, but there would've been no beach riding. But as it happened, two hours of goofing around. Yeah. A good f- A couple stops... [laughs] a good- A couple beer stops there, where it was like, okay. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep.
• 7:58
  But- I mean, the rain ramped up for a second b- and the wind was kinda- On the-... hearty- Yeah, on the-... on the south... definitely on the way back was a good headwind. Yeah.
• 8:08
  But I mean, just standing around, there was a moment of, like... Not, I'm not gonna say deluge- Right... but it was aggressive, insistent.
• 8:15
  Well, I didn't get as wet as the two or three minutes of the best part of the ride- [laughs]... when Tony was flopping around in the creek. [laughs] He- Turtle, turtle, turtle.
• 8:26
  Yep, he turtled it right in the d- and that, it, it was pretty deep. It was probably two feet deep at the shallowest part of that crossing, so. Well, he was, like, definitely, like, on his ass up to about here. Yeah.
• 8:37
  About, like, above my waistline. And bet- bet- be- I'm painting the word picture... right between trying to get the bike up- [laughs]... and him get up instead of maybe just getting up and...
• 8:47
  It, there w- the water was moving fast there. Yeah. That's as, that's as- It was... Yeah, there was a lot of, uh, factors. I, I, I won't give- That's as much outflow as I've seen on that stream in a very long time.
• 8:56
  Yeah, so there was, like, a little internal panic of, like,, "Oh, my God. Oh, My God. Oh, My God." And it's cold. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just...
• 9:02
  I mean, I wish I would've been smart enough to pull the phone out. Well, it definitely... It, yeah.
• 9:06
  [laughs] I just wanted to, but I had my, uh, my little OtterBox, my little plastic bag OtterBox, and I was like- [laughs]... "Ah, that'd be too much work, and he'll be up in a second," which he wasn't.
• 9:16
  [laughs] And I probably did have enough time, but dammit, uh. Well, that's why he's now Triple T. [laughs] Tony, Tony the Turtle. [laughs] Oh. Usurping his former Triple T, Tony the Talker, so. My goodness.
• 9:29
  Well, you definitely got a exfoliating, uh, heinie wash down in there. [laughs] I'll bet he- So, so he was laying blowface and it was actually very clean on the outcome. Well, yeah.
• 9:39
  I mean, I had s- I, well, I had sand a lot of places that you don't normally have sand. It was- It was all right.
• 9:44
  I, I was surprised in, like, even my shoes, kinda surprisingly, just took a couple rinses and it was like, okay, no gritty, no grit, no grit, no nothing. All right. And- Even the bike. Yep.
• 9:57
  Well, that worked out nicely because the next w- w- uh, wave of rain upon return that we got, okay, just leave it out there.
• 10:08
  [snores] Yeah, which was, like, when we got back at about 10:30, it pretty much opened up right when we got back. Mm-hmm. Maybe within 10 minutes of sitting around and having a celebratory beer at the end of the ride.
• 10:21
  It's like, yeah, no way. None, none of the park rangers are coming around. We're getting- I did, I did not see Johnny Law at all, at all, at all.
• 10:27
  They must've been doing other stuff that was more important, like dealing- Yeah... with trees on people's houses- Yeah, yeah... and flooded basements and...
• 10:35
  I'm glad that you and I, even th- though we had separate vehicles, important to note- Yeah. [laughs]... stayed up there because not only did we get to close Schooners, and- Yeah...
• 10:46
  walk a few feet to our hotel rooms right out- [laughs]... which turned out to be a really good spot. Oh, yeah. I- I had a great view... I am not- I had, I had the, I had the harbor room. Awesome vi- view.
• 10:57
  If I would've woken up for sunrise, it would've been the same thing. Right on. Easily. Well- Had a nice little tree next to me-... I was, you know, kind of like-... had the marina right in front.
• 11:05
  Where, where are we gonna stay? Are we gonna have to find a road? I was curious. Are we gonna... neighborhood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the perfect spot. Yeah.
• 11:11
  There's so much activity there that nobody will ever notice, and it worked out- Yeah... perfectly. Yeah. As- As long as you just play st- like, don't play stupid. Right............... no, no, no, no. Yeah.
• 11:21
  Because, yeah, it's like, oh, no, but like, you know, five cars together and, and, and, and, you know, party, party, party. No, no, no. So you do that in a bar and then you [snorts]. Good call. Yeah.
• 11:32
  Yeah, and then, you know, we had Tello's next morning. Very, very nice. Spicy. Oh. Chilaquiles are spicy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you were, you were, uh- I, yeah. And yeah, Kim had some and was equally
• 11:49
  in pain on that one. So, not- I mean, that, yeah. I mean, if you can handle spicy food, good for, good on you, and this is a good chilaquiles for it. It was more spicy than the Bloody Mary you had? Yes.
• 12:01
  [laughs] And that was kinda spicy, too. I went with the- But, I mean, that was acceptable spicy. I could, I could wrap my head around that one, but the other one was- I went with the margarita in the morning.
• 12:09
  That was very good. That's a good place, and it- Yeah... it opens early enough to- Accommodate completely... accommodate people who are sleeping in their vans. Yeah. [laughs] Yeah.
• 12:18
  Oh, oh, and- Down, down by the marina... I did get my coffee. I, uh, Mexican coffee. It was like, what, two shots? Oh, right on. Two shots of tequila, Bailey's, and coffee. It was good.
• 12:28
  Never thought about putting tequila in coffee. Don't... What do they d- what do they call it? Mexican coffee [laughs] Not an Irish coffee with tequila- Well, they had- they had-... Irish coffee with tequila...
• 12:37
  No, they had two, uh, after, after-dinner drinks: Irish coffee, which was Jameson, and Bailey's, and whipped cream; and then the Mexican coffee, which was Patron, Don Julio, Bailey's, and coffee. Wow. Oh, that's good.
• 12:55
  That was tasty. I, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I know. [laughs] I mean- I know how to use some of the tequila in my house now... e- even though... Okay, so I gotta say, there were more hills [laughs]
• 13:06
  on the beach than normal because of all the rills and all the erosion from the water, so there were these things. Yes, kind of. So there were hills [bell ringing] Hills. On the beach. Excuse me. And s- I know.
• 13:19
  I was gonna reach it before when, uh, Schooner was, um, talking about... it's, it's worthy of note that, uh,
• 13:25
  this Hazy Little Thing from Sierra Nevada is, for whatever reason, it's like the house beer at many places- Yeah... up there. Total- totally. Totally, totally.
• 13:35
  And it's, you know, I don't know, what would, would th- this would probably go for anywhere between six and eight bucks down here- Yeah...
• 13:42
  if you were buying it on a, on a tap at a bar, which you don't really see it all that often. Exactly, 'cause [laughs] they're all up there. [laughs] But it was, it was four bucks for a pint. Oh, at The Post?
• 13:54
  At the, at... Yeah, four bucks for a pint- Yeah... and, uh- It was six at, at Schooner. I think it was six... and I think also- Five or six... Miller High Life's for four bucks. Okay. So... Ooh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:05
  Ooh. Yeah. Ooh. Oh, yeah, yeah, 'cause they did have it on tap. I, I forgot about that. Yeah, they had it on tap at the, the Legion Post. Yes. This is a hitrec- uh, uh, a hitrecies- A hitrecies...
• 14:13
  misur- surb- a shurbader. It's a [laughs] hazy, citrus-y, s- smooth beer. Uh, 6.7, that might explain that scoody-scoody. [laughs] Except that we...
• 14:26
  I haven't even had half of one yet, but, uh, yeah, you know, those folks out at Sierra Nevada do make good beer. Yeah. They've, they've gone with the Hazy Little Thing, the S- the Little Thing series. Yes.
• 14:40
  They actually had- There are many... they had a, um, [clears throat] can't remember. It was a limited edition that I did see, but then I saw that, and I'm like, "Wait, no. That, that has story behind it.
• 14:51
  New one doesn't." Da-da, da-da. So while we ride off into the, uh, rainstorm from the Full Moon Beach Ride, I do think it's fair to mention that there is a Full Moon Beach Ride Redux- Redux... coming up.
• 15:09
  Uh, it will be September 6th, which is another Saturday night, even though technically the full moon is on Sunday. I didn't know how many people would actually wanna come up on a Sunday night. Sure.
• 15:21
  Uh, there's one lady that would like to, so I don't know. Gotta get, uh... You know Candy, Candy Crawford. Candy, Candy, Candy. Candy Hoffman. I can't let you go. Candy Crawford Hoffman.
• 15:32
  She wants to do that again when I mentioned that she- Oh, Lord... kicked our ass on our 29 plus one of the times in the [laughs] past- Oh... somehow on the beach.
• 15:41
  Um- I could see it being done, just a little- Well, she was very-... mentally... very, very powerful on it. She was- [laughs]... yeah, so, uh- Well, the way, yeah, the way the beach did ride- Yeah...
• 15:51
  'cause I wanted to drop my tire pressure way before we hit the beach 'cause I was, I mean, I don't know if you... I was, I was up probably at 20 plus. Ooh, that's even high for the city. Well, it was.
• 16:06
  So [laughs] it was... But I, I could handle it until, I don't know, I think it was, like, the second crossing or second... And I was like, "Yeah, I probably should just drop this." 'Cause I think- Yeah...
• 16:17
  it, it tends to progressively get a little more challenging until you get to Sucker Creek. Yeah, and I... Sand is weird because on the Michigan trip, I did the whole first day
• 16:29
  where I didn't drop it below whatever the, they were at, probably 12 to 15, and it was fine. Mm. Maybe...
• 16:36
  And, and I did drop it down on the next day, and I was like, "Well, we're, we're kinda going back over the same stuff we rode the day before going the other direction." And I'm like, "Eh, I guess it's better."
• 16:45
  But, you know, s- sometimes it's just hard like concrete, and sometimes it's- Yeah... sinky, and it wasn't sinky, so it was- There was that one little section I swear to kicks- quicksand or where a body is buried.
• 16:56
  Yeah, yeah. Once it gets- [laughs]... saturated too much and more slurry than- Just that one little place. Yeah. Mm. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
• 17:03
  Uh, well, if you guys, if you guys from anywhere wanna make it, uh, that September 6th, that is a Saturday night, and it is gonna be 98.6% or something full, enough where it will be hard to discern that it's not. Yeah.
• 17:18
  And hopefully we have a clear night and can go light free. I believe that people that missed out last time are gonna be like, "Well, I'm making that one for sure." Yeah, they better.
• 17:30
  So- You don't bet- you don't- Put it on the calendar... tell me. Uh, what else we got up in here, uh- The only th- yeah, it was like... Oh, yeah. Uh, the poker ride is that day. Yes. But they're starting late. It is.
• 17:44
  It's at Linneman's this year. And late, and indoors I think. Yes, indoors. So- Mm... I don't know, Evan. Sorry, we may miss the riot this time. Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm. Weather permitting, though. They are inside.
• 17:57
  [laughs] True, true. That said, I don't care if it's planning to rain or not [laughs] if we can- Yeah... if we can make it through that, we can make it through anything. Yes, indeed.
• 18:07
  Um- You have the little whirlpool outside, or the twin, the twin whirlpools or something. Yeah. I, well, I do have that footage. Maybe I'll just slam that in here and just show that little whirlpool- [laughs]...
• 18:21
  just as a little, a little B-roll right on top of the old show there. Yeah, that was- That's kinda freaky It is, uh...
• 18:30
  In other sporting news, the old, uh, Brewers won 12 in a row now Oh, yeah, everyone can wait in line I don't know. Peshtigo's not that far. There is a, there... [laughs] Yeah.
• 18:42
  I wonder if everybody from Northern Wisconsin's gonna go there, but... Uh, George Webb's, uh, hamburger chain's giving away burgers for free. I believe they're doing 100,000 of them. Yeah.
• 18:57
  I mean, it's cool, but, mm, the luster is- Yeah. Well, the last time it happened was 2018, and we, we saw- And I waited, or I looked, and I'm like, "I ain't waiting in that damn line- Yeah... for a freaking burger."
• 19:07
  They're hardly a good burger when you have to pay for them. They used to have the great promotion. Five, if they score five runs, win or lose, the next day, or after, yeah, 24 hours
• 19:20
  from the end of that game, five burgers, five bucks. Yeah. That was- That was perfect... yeah. Loved it. Loved it. So it's like it's, uh, a- above a Dirty Ron burger and below, like, a good pub burger.
• 19:34
  It's right in the- True that. There aren't that many George Webb's left. I think they're down to about 20 locations maybe, give or take.
• 19:42
  But anyway, I, I wonder if they t- do take insurance out against that just in case, because I know that you can get insured- Probably... for anything you want. Yeah. I would- You could say- I would not doubt it...
• 19:53
  you could, you know, buy a policy that if it rains at 12:01 AM more than an inch tonight, you could probably buy a policy right now f- [laughs] And, you know,
• 20:03
  the odds of it being collected are so low that it would probably cost you about five bucks. But, uh, I, I remember that we had, uh, I think it was... Was it Wheel & Sprocket? Somebody had a deal where you buy a fat bike
• 20:18
  sometime between the end of October and Christmas or something like that, and if it snows more than seven inches or something like that in that time span, you get your bike free. [laughs] Interesting.
• 20:31
  But it never happened. But they did have... I know for a fact that that's something you can insure.
• 20:37
  So if in the odd event that it happened, your, whatever, two grand you spent on the insurance to back that up is, is gone, but you're not... [laughs] You're giving people money back a lot. Sure. Sure.
• 20:49
  So whatever the deal was. And it may not have been Wheel & Sprocket. It could've been some other forward-thinking bike shop. I don't know who they might be, but- There you go. Uh, yeah.
• 20:58
  [laughs] Ooh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Oh, yeah, uh, what, what is MGK and MKE? [laughs] Machine Gun Kelly, the tall- What?... the lanky freaker.
• 21:13
  That- He's doing a pop-up free show at Shank tonight. The real Machine Gun Kelly? Yeah, the lanky, married, divorced from Megan Fox- Oh... guy. With all the tattoos and everything? Sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Huh.
• 21:29
  Well, I don't- I'm just like, what? What? Wait, what? I don't think I'm going there. I am not. Oh, man. I don't go there anyway. I know.
• 21:39
  Apparently, yeah, he was, like, s- he's doing, like, little pop-ups and, like, his people are, like, trying to find places day of. Okay. And whatever. And- Probably came here for the burgers.
• 21:52
  [laughs] Well, I, I, I don't know. There was, like, some other places in conversation, but they wouldn't allow under 21. Oh, okay. And everyone wanted, like, all ages, uh, all ages meaning adults.
• 22:05
  And yet Scott- 18 plus... and yet Scott H. Biram can't get a, can't get a show there. Right. Right. Right. Can't. I see how he is. Right. Right. More fuel. [laughs] More goddamn fuel, I swear. It's...
• 22:19
  No, it's just- It, it just, it just never ends. It's never ending. It never e- it never ends. It never ends. Never will end. Oh. Okay. I've got my finger on one. I've got my finger on- It's not coming out.
• 22:32
  Come out of there, you. Ah. I mean- Oh. I may have to use two hands. Ah. Snap. Thought that wa- I don't want you to go through that. There you go. Yeah. That, that was tiring.
• 22:44
  It was like watching Tony in the movie Rocky. [laughs] Oh. Oh. Oh, my Pterio. Only this didn't take several minutes. [laughs] Oh, God, that was so cartoon-like. I [laughs]
• 22:57
  Thank- Bless your heart, Tony, because it was cartoon-like... thankfully his- 'Cause he got up and then he fell right down. Yeah. And Mike just- Oh... was just like, "I can't help you up again."
• 23:07
  [laughs] And that was too much work. Thankfully his bike didn't get any permanent damage, but- No... yeah, he... I don't know. He went- That was all, like, soft... Yeah.
• 23:15
  It was- He went, he went from straight riding to taking the long way home, so- [laughs]... something happened somewhere along there. [laughs] Uh- Well, full moon, light show, everything. I know.
• 23:30
  I was- All those things, baby. Yeah. I felt my, uh, equilibrium was a little compromised. 'Cause like, I, just riding on that beach, I always am just like, "Okay, now something's coming up that will surprise me."
• 23:44
  There, well, there was a lot more washed up, like, larger logs and stuff- Mm-hmm... than, than there normally are. Well, yeah. And when,
• 23:53
  when the tide comes in a bit and then it's, they can't see nothing on the ground, I'm like, "Okay, let me just go back and remember the picture of what I saw there." And there wasn't a big rock in the middle, was there?
• 24:05
  No. There wasn't a big log in the middle, was there? Maybe. Maybe not. [laughs] And yeah, i- it worked out nicely, but I was self-aware. Not completely white-knuckling it, but mentally white-knuckling. Right on.
• 24:20
  I did add some more stuff to the Facebook Marketplace offerings from the shop here if you're- On the, uh, whatchamajiggery there, the show pagey thing, what do they call those? Show notes? Show notes.
• 24:35
  There's a link to all the listings. There's a couple... There's some bike packing bags from Revelate, and a few other things that need to find new homes too, so check it out. If it's something you can use,
• 24:48
  you'll find it there. Yeah. Yeah. I dunno. What else we got? Anything else today? I think, uh, kinda- Ba ba ba... ran the gamut of what's actually on the list, but, uh- [clears throat] Uh huh...
• 25:03
  oh, yeah, I did listen to some Braid for the upcoming WMSE Backyard Barbecue, which would be a week from Saturday. I,
• 25:19
  I, I'll go to the place, but don't know if I'll wait for the show. I am, I am i- undetermined as to... They're just... I dunno. It's not my thing. Perhaps live they give a different vibe. That is, that is...
• 25:33
  I thought that exact thing, that sometimes people are, bands are better live than recorded, and it's always, it's always a treat when that happens because there's so many times I've seen a band that was
• 25:46
  awesome on their albums, and then live they're like, "What are you doing up there?" Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's not that I want it to sound like the album at all, it's just I don't want it to suck. Yeah. I'm...
• 26:00
  I have a strong feeling that I'm going to be going to the Bristol Renaissance Fair- Oh... on that day. You can go to the Bristol 45 Diner then. Perhaps, perchance, forsooth,
• 26:13
  but I am angling, "Okay, let's do this stuff early," like when they open early. Yeah. 'Cause I wanna get my ass back up to Humboldt at least by... They did put out the set times. Yeah, I saw that.
• 26:30
  So the Voodoo Honey Brass Band is, I think, 3:50, and that's old Jay Anderson from- Yep... Foreign Goods, Milwaukee, now lives in New Orleans, and he's- Yep... bringing all of the people up. Yep. And enlisting all.
• 26:46
  It's gonna be a huge brass band. That could be, that could be the highlight of the show. That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm... That's why- Unless you're a- The, the part of the destination...
• 26:54
  unless you're a fan of the Cocoa Beans. Oh. Don't do it. Don't do it. It's in my head now. [laughs] Well, it's a good event usually. It is a great band, great band. I just get- And they're, they're-...
• 27:03
  the name just gets to me sometimes... they are a good band. Wendy reminded me that she'd heard th- them before, opening up for somebody at the Pabst, and they were good.
• 27:11
  Speaking of good, went to Wonderland last night for our- Wonder boy... or a couple night, whenever that was. It was our anniversary. [laughs] During the full moon beach ride- [laughs]... it was actually my anniversary.
• 27:21
  [laughs] So I had to kinda make up for that on T- on Tuesday night- [laughs]... at least hang out with Wendy. And went to Wonderland, and their, uh, their chicken pot pie, me a damn ol' good chicken pot pie right there.
• 27:33
  They got good, uh, they got good vittles there. All their vittles are good. And then we went to Wonder- Art, Art Bar? We went to Art Bar after,
• 27:43
  and, uh, sitting at the bar, and, you know, we order our drinks, and then he's like, "Oh, yeah, it's, um, it's," whatever, "two for one Tuesday" or something. So now we're at...
• 27:53
  And that doesn't start till 8:00, so now we're like, "Well, we just got a drink," and, and Wendy's drinking a ginger Manhattan or ginger old fashioned, I think, and I just had, uh, uh, whatever the beer I had was.
• 28:07
  But now we have another one coming, so now we're here for, you know, a good hour and a half probably. So I'm wandering around, wandering around, I went to the bathroom.
• 28:13
  I, I go up to the front window and I look out there, and I see this guy from the back with this blue hair and a ponytail, and I'm like, "I thought he hated this place."
• 28:24
  I went out there, I was just about to say something, and I look, I go, "Oh, that's not Tony." [laughs] Tony. But it was, it, from the... It was very, like, really? I dunno. Anyway, we talked about Tony a lot this show.
• 28:37
  It's great here. Hopefully we'll have him on at some point in the future. Indeed. But anyway, I guess that's about what we got today. Oh, yeah, and Center Street Day is this weekend. The Art Cart Races.
• 28:51
  This is the annual... Oh, we should'a go- put an art cart together. Yeah. That, that... We say that every year. Yeah, around this time. It is... I mean, it always sneaks up on me for some reason. Mm-hmm.
• 29:01
  Well, the summer goes [whooshes]. Yeah. Saturday over there on Center Street by the- Noon... Uptowner to the, uh, what's on, what's on the west end? Uh, I think it goes- Tooley's Spoken or something up that way.
• 29:14
  Yeah, uh, pretty much to all the way to Holton. Uh, No Rights, No Rights is playing at, like, 5:00 or something. Yeah. Uptowner stage is pretty robust all the way. It is, it is the best.
• 29:23
  And I don't know w- the head- headliner or the last band playing. I'm not familiar with that. Well, The Mosleys are playing early and- But all the other ones- Yeah... it's like ding dong dong dong dong...
• 29:31
  it's good stuff. Good stuff. Plus they do have normally a really good punk stage right around- Yeah, quarters... quarters, so.
• 29:38
  Yeah, if you're in Milwaukee this weekend, you're gonna probably wanna go to Center Street Daze, D-A- Yeah... Z-E. They do it right. Yeah, man. They do it right. All right, we'll probably- And art carts are at noon...
• 29:49
  that's fun. Well, we'll probably have pictures from there next week. Perfect. If you want to join us, we'll be here doing show number 318 or something like that. Yeah. Bye.
