  Speaker 2: this after the fact, thanks for finding and checking out
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the podcast. We do, uh, A new episode pretty much
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: every Thursday unless we're on vacation or something. With that,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I wanted to maybe talk a little more about something
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that we briefly brought up on the show earlier this week.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: But it's kind of a touchy subject, and we had
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: some parameters due to the FCC restrictions of the on-air
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: show and talking about that subject matter.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Trying to think what it would be earlier in the week.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at my trusty list over here that the
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: boss has me write out. Every day of, after the fact,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: things that we talked about.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Go back to Monday and see if you can.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Spot the topic. Kolagard.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Kolagard, yes.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I had my first experience using the Kolagard test, which
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: if you're, oh, look, a political call is coming in.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I just deleted one political text right before we started.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I had my annual physical last month, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the doctor, my doctor says to me, he goes, well,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you're due for another colonoscopy, but he goes, all of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: your blood work looks great. He goes, I don't suspect
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: there's any issues, and rather than get all invasive on you.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And waste basically two days.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We're going to give you the Cologuard test. We'll ship
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: it to your house. I'm like, oh, I've seen commercials
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for that. He goes, yeah, just follow the instructions, set
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: it in, and if that comes back clean, good to go.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We won't even discuss this subject for another three years.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So the deal is I did the procedure, and I
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: got the results back actually this morning. I'm good to go.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: No problems. What I wanted to elaborate on was this
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: whole process. It's so disgusting if you think about it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And then where we really wanted to talk but couldn't
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The folks on the receiving end who must get hundreds
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of thousands of these things submitted over the months and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the year, and I couldn't imagine being the person who
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: receives this white box. I sent mine and went back
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to Madison, Wisconsin. I don't know if that was where
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Cola Guard headquarters is or what. But anyway... If you've
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: done this, you know exactly what I'm going to say.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It comes in a white box, okay? Inside is a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: little white bucket-looking thing with a twist off top.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: A little container.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Inside of that is a jar about yay big. With
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a lid on it that's filled with some kind of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: preservative liquid.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: So that was about two to three inches tall.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Okay. Then there's also a probe-type thing that comes in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a tube that's part of this kit, and then a bracket.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That's all that's in the box and the instructions. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you take this bracket thing, you lift your toilet seat up,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: You lay the bracket across, and there's a hole in
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the middle to put this bucket device in. That's the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: catch bucket.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Okay? So you're going to collect your sample in that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I went through the process, did that. You've got to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: be careful not to get any urine or toilet paper
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in the catch bucket.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So he peed first.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I did. I did. And then, you know, I— I
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: know this because I was there videoing it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: We— So I dropped a representative sample, shall we say.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And I did what we all do after you do that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You get up and you look. I'm like, oh, okay.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: They ought to enjoy this one. Now, we're not quite
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: done yet on the patient side of things. Now, once
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you have that, you take the bucket and you set
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: it down and you pour that jar of liquid over
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the sample. Okay?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that's supposed to do, if it's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: supposed to mask odor or what.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Or neutralize it, maybe.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And you're supposed to take the probe thing that came,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that comes in this test tube, and scrape the sample,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: put it back into the test tube, put the lid
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: on this bucket thing, pull the lid across, tape it
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: back up, and there's a pre-shipped UPS next day air thing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: You drop it off at UPS, and they ship it off. Okay, great. Done.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: No problem. We got to thinking about if it was
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: your job.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Now, keep in mind what we do want to stress.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I just need to rewind a little bit, is the
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: importance of getting a colonoscopy. And if your doctor lets
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: you do the Cologuard, that's awesome.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Because it's something we should all get checked. We have
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a coworker who just went through colon cancer.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Not good.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm dealing with a situation right now that's very
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: close to me and my family. Right. Obviously, I want
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to make sure this is done and done right and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that I'm in good shape. So without fail, do whatever
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the doctor says to do in that regard. Set all
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that aside, your job is to receive these packages, in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: my case, in Madison, Wisconsin, a white box. There's probably
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: pallets of these things that arrive every day, seven days
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a week.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: You have people everywhere that hate waking up for their job.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And they have a desk job where they've got to
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: call on clients to try to sell them.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And they're like, I can't stand this.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Anytime you're having a tough day getting out of bed
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: or a tough day at work, think of the person
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: that's receiving the shit samples.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And they open up the box, each and every one
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of these boxes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And unscrew the lids. And you're off.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: To the races.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Into the great unknown we go.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And the fact that they did, how much schooling to
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: become probably have a science background?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know what level. This is where we, there
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: is no way we're going to talk at this part
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: about this on the air because we'd say something wrong
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that would get us fined. But I don't know if
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that's a high education job or not. I would think
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: there's probably several different steps along the way. You probably
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: got the low person on the totem pole who does
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the open the box, take the lid off, and see
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: if it's a usable sample.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: They'd probably bring it to the person with the microscope.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Who probably then does the actual testing is what I'm saying.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You want to talk about Pandora's box. Think about, literally,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they probably get hundreds of thousands of these over the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: course of the year. And it's a surprise every time
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you open the lid because no two are alike.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I remember when years and years ago when we came
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: across RateMyPoo.com.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And seeing this is. When the internet was still kind
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of new. Right.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: This was one of the hot websites at the time.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And you were looking at huge dumps and stuff.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: And not being childish, but yeah, I guess being childish,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: it was entertaining as hell.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And if that was your job, you just desensitized.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And if you had to get up for that job
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: each day.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: How much?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Or roofing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Which would you rather? Okay, let's not do which would
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you rather right now. Before we get to that, I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: want to play that game. What would you require? as
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: pay for that to be your gig. Every five days
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a week, at least eight hours a day, all you're
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: doing is receiving these white boxes and samples and opening
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: them up, unscrewing the lid, and okay, that's the gist
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: of your job.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm handing it off to the whatever the next
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: person is.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: We're assuming that's kind of how it goes.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I think it's the same guy wearing many hats.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, you think they've downsized the in-between person? Well, you
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: can do both of these.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Or maybe they just do, okay, this is a really
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: tough one. You're going to do.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: A five-hour shift on these amount of days, and then
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the next person comes in for three.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So it's five hours.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I work, three hours you come in and work the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: second part of the shift. Then, you know, it's like firefighters,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: how they have– Three.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: On, four off, or whatever the deal is.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Because they go, this is too traumatic for one person
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: to sit here eight hours a day, five days a week,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: 40 hours.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Going through shit samples. There's no other way.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, that said, if it is a 40-hour gig of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: doing that, what are you going to require to be
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: paid to even think about wanting to do that as
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: your gig? 100K? I don't know. What about you? I
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: got to think at least $ 75, 000. Because you're looking.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: At hepatitis and all the other.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Stuff that you could be coming across.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going north of six figures. And then, okay. Lunch break.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Okay. I forgot all about that. It's like, do you
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: even have an appetite?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I think you're just desensitized. You're going home to your wife.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Chocolate ice cream is completely off the table. Chocolate pudding,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: don't even think about it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Matt, you're going home to your wife. How is she
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: going to be turned on for playtime?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: She's not. Okay, step further.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: It's bad enough if you take that big dump in
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the back bathroom that kind of wafts through the house. Right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And she's disgusted with that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: She knows that you've been doing this all day. Step further.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: It filters down into your whole life. You're out with
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: a group of friends. You're meeting some new people. Hey,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I'm so-and-so, I'm so-and-so. What do you do for a living?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I work at the stadium taking care of the turf.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: I've got a job that is made up in the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: back of my head at all times.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You're not going to come clean about what you do, huh?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: If I do that, I'm saying I'm a lab tech.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Leave it like that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? I've always wondered about that. What do you
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: do as a lab tech, and what kind of tech
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: are you? We just search for the next things. After COVID,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that pandemic was so bad. We just search for the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: possibilities of new ones coming in.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I am not going to tell them that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Or I might just say, do you remember the website RateMyPoo.com?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I get that eight hours a day, five days a week. Hey, Sam,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: come and look at this dump.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: This is where I was thinking. Dude, if you just
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: didn't care and you were in that social setting and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: you go, oh, I work at Cologuard. Wait, what is that? Yeah,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that's the do-it-yourself colon cancer screening outfit. Oh, yeah, I
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: see their commercials all the time. What exactly do you
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: do for them? I receive the shipment samples and do
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the initial evaluation. You see where the conversation is. People
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: are going to be intrigued by this. Well, how does
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that work? Well, they come in these little white boxes,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and you open them up, and there's these white bucket
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: containers with screw-off lids.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and inside of there is.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: It's a surprise. Yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I do that all day. People are taking a step back.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: This guy's... Hey, at least your process for that was
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: better than the process I had to do when I
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: had a... What was that infection I got from fast
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: food place?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Food?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: No, what are your innards?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Intestinal?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Intestinal. I had a.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Bacterial intestinal infection. And it was so bad that the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: doctor could.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I go, watch. I said, push on my belly right here.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: And he pushed and you could hear my stomach go....
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: And I go.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: If you push again, I'm going to have to go
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to the bathroom on your table. It was the worst
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: thing ever. So they sent me home, not with a
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: little bucket, with a bag.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: What kind of bag?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Like a sample bag. You know how... Like a Ziploc.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Did they have any instructions with this as to how
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: exactly they would like you to collect it? Because that's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the one thing about the Cologuard thing. It's very clear
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and easy how to do. It's just kind of off-putting. This,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: here's a bag. Go in it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: It was a medical bag because, again, this was probably
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: too long.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So it's like a biohazard bag.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, that Ziploc bag with the writing on it or whatever.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: The symbol on it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I think it said my name already written on it,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: so it was dummy proof.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And then go in the bag.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: So I had to, Pat, I had four days to
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: where I was so dehydrated. I had water for like
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: water craps for enough that I had to go to
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: the frigging hospital to the doctor. So I had to
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: go home with the bag. I told the doctor, if
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you just give me it, I can go in your
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: bathroom right.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Now and fill it. Oh, that's not how it works.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I had to go home. Got to go to the lab.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Toilet's already disruptive. You know what I'm getting at? Because
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I've gone so much. I've been so sick. And all
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: because I don't want to say the name of the place,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: but all because I had to stop again. So, Pat,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I had to put the bag up like this. Can
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you see? I don't know if you can see. Yes,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: we can see.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I had to hold the bag like this and go
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: in the bag and then stop.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Hold on, I spin my headphone cord right.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You had to do this standing up.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: You know when you have to stop a pee? I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: had to stop that. Yeah, it was a... But again,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: technology's great, because at least you got that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So what.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Once you ended up collecting your sample, what consistency was it?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It was straight brown water. That's what I was telling you. Pat,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and that's how I was able to go. You really
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: think if you.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Have a bacterial intestinal infection, I think is what it
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: was called.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: You were left with a bag of duty water.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Pat, I had that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: That situation, that consistency for almost going on four days straight,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: if not five, before they gave me the bag, sent
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: it off, and right away, oh, yeah. Put me on
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: meds and stuff to kill it. It was bad, all
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: because I frigging ordered something I shouldn't have. When I
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: pulled up to the drive-thru and the lady goes, oh, Lord.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You think it's hot out there? Our AC's out. She goes, power.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Power wasn't out, but the AC was out.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder why the food was bad.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Which meant, oh, and then that means that the cooler's
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: probably on the fritz right now, too.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: You got the burger sitting out.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, there is a point to all of this, as
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: disgusting as it may be, if you're still with us. Look,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: if you're. doctor says you're of the age to start
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: having those tests done, please do that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Please. As much as we goof around and joke about this,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it is no joke in the end.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: It's easy, too.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: In the end. It is easy. And even if your
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: doctor says, I'd rather you just go with the full-on colonoscopy.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: That's easy, too.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: It is. It really is. And it's important to do that.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: We both have done that, and I'm glad there's developments
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: like this Cologuard to kind of see how you're doing
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: along the way and in between.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: And I think I asked you this, but the last time.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, when I did my last one, I know they
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: told me you have 10 years until the next one.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Do they call you? I would think they keep you
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: on file.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: No, it's in your records. That's how I knew I
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: was due.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: It's in my records from who has those records.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Well, your medical records follow you. Okay. I wanted to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: make sure. They follow you. So I knew before I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: even went for my physical, we were having this discussion
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: that I was due for another colonoscopy, which I was prepared.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I already had the time I was going to map
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it out to do next summer.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: You were already drinking chicken broth. No, no, no, no, no.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: And the doctor goes, well, look, man. He goes, I
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: got all your blood work back here. He goes, I just–
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: he goes– There's no red flags here. He goes, are
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: you familiar with the Cologuard? I said, yeah, I see
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: their commercials all the time. He goes, well, let's run
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: that screening. He goes, they've gotten to the point where
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: those are very, very accurate now. And if it comes
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: back okay, you're good to go on not needing a
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: colonoscopy right now. So I was like, all right, fair enough.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Again, that takeaway that Pat talked about from this is
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: if you're at the age where you think It's time
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: for a colonoscopy.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: They say 45.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I think they dropped it to 40, I believe.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're 40 and you haven't done a colonoscopy yet,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: definitely talk to your doctor about one because.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: It's very important. And if there's history in your family,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: you definitely want it. Don't skip that test. No, no. So,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: you know, anyway, as much as we clown around and
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: joke about this stuff, It's a very serious matter, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you only got one life. That's it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, Halloween, real quick, let's transition from this weekend. Chocolate
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: bars right in there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Chocolate bars, big size. Are we going peanut nougat here?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That's what you should have done. You should have snuck
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a Snickers bar.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Somebody has had to have sent some of those back
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: with God knows what inside those sample buckets just to
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: goof on the technicians there. I'm sure they have stories.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I guarantee it. So, again, they tell at parties. Oh,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: believe what I saw this week. This is amazing.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: So with– Halloween being this weekend, it's phenomenal. It's on
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: a Saturday for all the kids. And this year, we're
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: putting the bowl out.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I told you that. Because you're not going.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: To be home. No.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Going to a party.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: You know the first group of kids that come are
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: just going to take the whole damn thing.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: We've got pretty good, well-behaved kids. Because I did it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: one year.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: When it got later, I put it out and put
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: the sign and just watched to see.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: And then yell. But they didn't take the whole thing.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I was amazed.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: With that said, it got me thinking back with my
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: trick-or-treating days, and I think I stopped probably around 12
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: or 13 maybe, and.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: It was the best. Do you remember trick-or-treating around 10, 11?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You looked forward to it all week.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: The whole week.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the best thing ever.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And you used a pillowcase. Yeah, absolutely.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying we were low budget, but it was
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: just you kind of figured something out that you were
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: going to dress up as.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And held a ton of candy.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: And one of the last times we did it, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: dressed up. It was Delta Dave, Charlie, and myself. We
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: got really high and went around dressed up as chicks.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: At 12?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Went around dressed up as chicks. 12, maybe 13.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: And I just remember because we were real high and
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the one of the people said, oh.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You look like such little nice young ladies.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: What's your name?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: And it was Bobina, Davina, and Charlina for Charlie. But
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: when we were going along, it was just the most.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Surreal.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: It was almost like we were tripping kind of thing
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: because it was just so weird going around high and
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: following these old ladies. You kind of had to be
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: there now that I think about it, and it was
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: being high. But even then, we scored so much candy,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: and What it's like now, it's all these insane costumes, kids.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: In the blow-up things with the AC. Dude, I could
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: tell you right now. I don't see any pillowcases.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: You do?
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I absolutely do.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Well, your neighborhood does a boatload of people as well.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it's absolutely insane what it's come to.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: With the trailers full of kids pulling up, yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It's nuts. We're prepared. I mean, we've got my wife.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: She's crazy. She has made up 200 bags. She makes
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: up the bags in advance with each bag has three
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: pieces in it, three fun-sized whatever, 200 bags of those. Oh,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: be gone. And last year we had 150. They were gone.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: And we had to do the old, sorry, we're out.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: We can only do what we can do. So we
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: went to 200 this year. And I suspect she has
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit of backup still in the house. But
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Friday last year, when it was on a Friday, it
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: was crazy. I would expect Saturdays probably couldn't even be
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: a tad crazier. The only thing that could maybe screw
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: it up is if the weather ends up not being great.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: It's looking like it's going to be all right, though.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: It's going to be warm, though.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Not too. I'm seeing different forecasts.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Last year was great because it was cold. It was
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the first cold day we had last season. I remember.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: But Saturday in Maitland, keep that in mind, in Maitland.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: It's saying that's right now the forecast on Thursday. For Saturday,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: it's 45% chance of rain.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So, okay, whatever. We're in Florida. The high is 82
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: in Maitland.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, it's not going to be much different elsewhere
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: here in central Florida.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, that's pretty sweet. Dude, she puts it
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: all in bags?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Ahead of time? They sell the bags for that purpose.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: It's like basically, it's like the bags you'd get if
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: you were getting a roadie beer back in the 80s.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: They're little Ziploc bags.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And the reason she does it is because we aren't
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: going to go down the road anymore where we get
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a bucket full and the kids come up and you
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: get the one kid who grabs a freaking handful.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why deal with the headache?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Relax. Here you go. How much do bags cost?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Figure a pack of 100 is probably— Four bucks. Oh, okay. Yeah,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that's easy.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Stopping them, though. Just bought them at the dollar store. Yeah,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: mine's just straight up bull. Bull with the sign. Put
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: a little lantern next to it. I don't care if
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: you take the lantern.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: So, you know, we're going to have high volume again.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: The block I live on was actually in the news
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: last year, and I suspect it will be again. This
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: one home in particular just— production they put out, they've
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: been building it for the last three weeks.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Which is crazy.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: They're just really into Halloween.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: There's people that are really into it, and then there's
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: some people that are like, I.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Just don't really care. I'll turn the lights off.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of houses that do that, and
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: that's fine, too.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: It's kind of lame.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I was thinking back, all the decorating now, the exterior decorating,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: there didn't used to be much of that years and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: years ago. That's just become real big business, and So
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: far in advance with the decorations up.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: It was pillowcases to get your candy and maybe a
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: plastic face mask of a cartoon character, a Bugs Bunny
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: face mask that you got for two bucks.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just cheapo on the fly. Just an old sheet
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: over you. I'm a ghost, too! The other thing, too, is,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: and this is probably the good side now that I'm
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a homeowner, I don't see much of the egging or
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: shaving cream and all that crap. You don't see that anymore.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: You know what you just said? You go, the other thing, too,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: is that's what I'm going as this year.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: A ghost.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Thing, too.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: No, you're not.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Dude, that was on one of these lists that we
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: get for show prep that said most overdone. Yeah. Why, what?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Because it's the easiest thing.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: With Amazon nowadays, I just did the generic version of
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: a Thing 2 costume.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I have an iron on. That's my costume.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I should go, and I might do it because I said, okay,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I'll do it, but I'll be Thing 2 as in dump.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I should go as a piece of crap like I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: did that. For several years.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Dress as a Kohlgaard bucket. Everybody will know what it is.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, that would be pretty good, too.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: You have a screw top as a hat.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Too much work. Let me look. I bet Amazon has it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: The C-O-L-O-G-U-A-R-D costume, right?
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I bet.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. It would be pretty funny. I'm
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: expecting to see lots of crazy Nickys from Obsession, I think,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: will be a big one this year.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Look.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny, dressed as the big white box with
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the eyeballs on it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Have to have that big white box. My daughter's in town,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: and she's got the art flair with her. Color it
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Halloween costume, Amazon.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Dude, just go to the grocery store and ask them
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: if you could have like a paper towel box or something.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: You could just spray paint it white and do it up.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Punch some holes in the side.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I'm not going to do that.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: It would be easier to grab a trash bag and
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: put corn and toilet paper on it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Which you've done. Yeah, that would be way easier.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Amazon, okay. I know this is taking time.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Well, we're getting near the end of our allotted time
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: here anyway.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh. Give me color guard.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Well, that's nothing wrong with that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: How to do a DIY box. Yeah, that's the problem.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Why I'm going to... That's why I'm going to Amazon, dude.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I don't need a DIY on this. Anyway, that one flopped.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm thing two again.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: All right, thing two. Enjoy your Halloween party.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, well.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Before that, though, by the way, if you're watching this
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: or listening to this before... Halloween, we are going to
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: be out Saturday afternoon, Florida-Georgia game. Big game. With Shock
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Top 3-5. We'll be at Wing Shack at Michigan in Orlando.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Wing Shack this Saturday, 3-5. All right.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: So if you want to come by, watch some of
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the Florida-Georgia game. Get some prizes we'll give out, and
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: we'll get you out of there in plenty of time
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: to be off to your Halloween gatherings. There we are.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And don't forget about the time change this weekend. We
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: fall back to standard time early Sunday morning.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: All right, so we covered it all.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: We did. I think so. I think we got it
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: all covered here. Thanks for checking out Lynch & Taco's
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Off the Air podcast. As I said at the beginning,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: usually have a new one of these every Thursday. Spread
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the word. We could use the help.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm still doing over here. I'm still
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: searching Amazon to get Cola Guard, not Color Guard.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Ass man. Gotcha. Gotcha, Taco.
