Do you know how legendary like of a father you have to be to
0:03
have twin boys that both play college basketball?
0:08
That both play college basketball overseas.
0:11
Like. Because these guys are from.
0:15
Who cares? A Stan.
0:16
Yeah. You know, like I, I don't know
0:19
where they're from, but like. Who cares?
0:25
A Stan's awesome. I was taking the drag.
0:40
Welcome back guys. I'm here with the newly
0:47
captained Justin. Ahoy Mateys.
0:53
The newly first mate Amber and the newly skipper Ryan.
0:58
You're a skipper, Skippity. I think you would be Gilligan.
1:06
I was I well, no 'cause there's a skipper is.
1:12
Is the name of the show. Huh.
1:14
I was. Talking about Gilligan's Island.
1:16
Yeah, I know, I know. But Skip there is a skipper in
1:18
the show. In the show.
1:19
That's what I was saying. That was like the boat captain,
1:21
I thought. No, that would be a captain.
1:23
No, I hate you so much. Are you looking it up?
1:32
Yeah, I'm about. To I was doing the same.
1:39
Oh my gosh, I spelled what? What was I trying to spell?
1:42
Glog logs. GLOG logs Island.
1:46
So Allen Hall is the skipper. You've got the professor.
1:51
Ginger, Grant. Gilligan, Eunice.
1:55
Thurston, Bunny, Erica. The Colonel.
2:04
Jonathan Kincaid. And Igor, holy Lord, man, we, we
2:09
have got to watch this show. I've only seen like 30 seconds
2:14
of an episode. I think I used to watch it with
2:16
my grandmother back in the day, but it's, I think, suppressed
2:19
memories. It looks a lot like Caddyshack,
2:23
which I'm into. I I remember watching it a
2:27
little bit with my grandpa and I thought it was funny.
2:31
Do you remember Caddyshack so good.
2:34
Yeah. So Speaking of newly captained,
2:37
so that boat, the the day that we came back with it, like the
2:41
first day I've ever been on this boat, like mine, driving it like
2:45
the whole 9 yards. We went like probably probably 5
2:52
or 6 hours N when we got it. And when we docked at the Fort,
2:59
we were we're still trying to figure out everything and how it
3:03
worked. And I found out that he had left
3:09
a little like 23 inch monitor hooked up to a DVD player and he
3:14
had like these DVDs in a corner. And one of them was Caddyshack.
3:18
Dude on the my new boat at night, sleeping on it at the
3:23
Fort. I watched Caddyshack at like
3:26
4:00 in the morning. That's wonderful.
3:27
It was, it was one of the best experiences I've ever had.
3:32
And then immediately fell asleep for about 30 minutes and a
3:35
cruise ship washed us up onto the dock with like a four foot
3:40
wake. It literally threw a 12,000 LB
3:43
boat into the air onto the dock and slammed the dock.
3:47
It hit so hard it ripped one of the bunks off and we just
3:51
watched it float away like. That's crazy.
3:54
It was, it was kind of ridiculous.
3:57
We we assumed that there'd be some traffic.
3:59
We didn't know there was going to be literally like Disney
4:03
Princess cruise like massive like thousand person boat.
4:07
I've got a picture. You can't even like my boat
4:10
looks like literally a a little square in the bottom of the
4:13
picture and then the the cruise ship isn't even fully in frame.
4:17
It's the biggest thing you've ever seen from like 30 feet
4:20
away. This dude was hauling ass, man.
4:24
He came through there like 4 in the morning because who else is
4:27
out there at 4:00 in the morning and he came through at least
4:31
like 10 or 12 knots and just just blew us over the dock, man.
4:36
I was like, Jesus Christ. I had a good time though.
4:44
That was 2 1/2 days of insanity. I know, I know, I've told you
4:53
before, but that second day, man, we literally fought through
4:58
like, I don't even know two hours worth of a like a storm
5:03
storm, like 4 foot waves. The boat is sky water, sky water
5:12
for like 2 hours. It got to a point.
5:15
I finally told him I was like, hey man, I'm not even going to
5:17
throw up because I'm seasick. I'm going to throw up because
5:20
I'm stressed that I think we're going down like I'm going to
5:24
need you to pull into a dock. He's like, there's no, there's
5:26
no docks, right? Like there's no Marina.
5:28
I'm like, that person lives on the water.
5:30
I can their dock is 100 feet away.
5:33
Go park at their house. Like, I don't care what it
5:36
takes, Turn this fucking boat into that person's house.
5:39
Like, Oh my God, man. He was like, we're fine.
5:43
He's already taking his anxiety meds.
5:44
He's been drinking all day, man. He's at the helm, both hands on
5:47
the wheel. Just we're literally like, like
5:50
catching. Like, you know, that that bit of
5:52
air right at the top where you like feel weightless, We're
5:55
catching that. And he looks back at me and I'm
5:57
like, look where you're going. It's a, it's hitting the deck so
6:02
hard that it's splashing the windows.
6:04
So I can't see anything for like 2 hours.
6:07
We've got the radar on, we've got the GPS on, but we're, we're
6:11
hoping, praying that there's nothing there that's not lit up
6:14
and literally the windshield wipers would like wipe it away
6:17
and like as it wiped it away, another wake would throw it up
6:21
onto the window. So it was useless.
6:23
Like we literally just drove blind for like 2 hours.
6:25
That's it sucked. Dude, that's crazy.
6:28
That was probably the worst experience I've had on a boat
6:31
ever. And I got stuck in the middle of
6:34
the second biggest lake in Florida, which is it's massive,
6:40
it's enormous. It you can't even see the other
6:43
side. It's so big and we're literally
6:46
out, like at the the mouth of this lake and the boat dies.
6:51
And I mean literally this with me, Yeah.
6:54
This was after you guys just got the boat.
6:59
So a different boat it's. A pontoon boat.
7:02
I'm terrified. And.
7:07
I don't even know. It was just crazy.
7:10
Like there was a big old thunderstorm and you're not
7:13
supposed to use the use the R word rain when you're in a boat.
7:17
And I said it and they're like, no, no, no, no.
7:20
And his dad is like putting a life vest on me and I'm like,
7:24
no, I'm good. And they're like, no, like
7:28
trying to hide it from me. You don't.
7:30
You don't have a choice at. This point, the boats literally
7:34
like teeter tottering and it's supposed to stay flat 'cause
7:38
it's a freaking pontoon boat. They told me afterwards you're
7:42
like, yeah, that was very scary. I'm like, you guys, like,
7:48
downplayed it. And they're like, we wanted to
7:50
make sure you were calm. And I was like, Oh my God, never
7:53
again. There were two anchors out.
7:55
We were still dragging, getting pushed deeper into the lake.
7:59
That's. Crazy.
8:00
Well, we were 30 feet from the mouth and we threw both anchors
8:05
out as soon as the motor died. OK, we have no propulsion.
8:07
Throw the anchors out. I don't want to drift into the
8:09
lake. And then I shit you not like 30
8:12
mile an hour winds, sideways rain, lightning is literally
8:16
cracking on the lake. I, I'm, I'm standing neck like
8:19
next to it and it is, it is wrapping the anchors together
8:26
now. It's pulling them together to
8:28
where they don't have any kind of kind of hooking power.
8:32
And that we're literally just, I'm watching the shore get
8:34
further away and the storms getting worse and we're going
8:37
sideways now because the anchors dragged and we're literally
8:40
hugging her, holding on to the the the helm.
8:45
And she's looking at us and we're looking at each other
8:48
going, yeah, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
8:50
And then she looks away. I look at dad.
8:51
I'm like, what the fuck, dude? Like Oh my God this is so bad.
8:56
I didn't find out until like months later from his dad.
9:01
He was like, Oh yeah, remember that really bad rainstorm where
9:04
we all thought we were going to die?
9:06
And I was like, you guys said we weren't going to die.
9:09
And I'm like, he was like, oh, yeah, no, we played that down
9:12
real fast. So like, come on.
9:15
Poor innocent little Amber. I don't know about innocent, but
9:18
yeah. She almost had ATV fall on her.
9:22
We were taking the big boat down the river and somebody just came
9:26
by doing way too, way too fast. And I mean, literally 10 feet
9:31
from us and they just threw our boat literally like tilted 45°
9:36
sideways. And there's a 50 inch that
9:38
screen coming down at her. We've got a lit hookah on a
9:44
wooded boat. Yeah.
9:47
Excuse you, that's. My life.
9:49
Quit it. So now that we've told you the
9:55
horror stories whenever you want, now that the boat, the
9:59
boat is registered in my name, we can actually take it out and
10:02
enjoy it for once. Never again I.
10:05
Don't even want to take it on the lake.
10:07
I hate that lake. There's nothing on the lake.
10:09
It's just a Big Lake. I'd rather take Lake George
10:14
under the second largest lake in Florida, only behind Okeechobee,
10:18
and that's a that's a sea like, yeah, I and.
10:21
Then Lancy. Literally, I, I can't, I don't
10:24
even like that. Like I'd rather just take the
10:26
canals and actually hang out in wildlife and get some sun and
10:30
just drink some beer. Like I don't need to be doing
10:32
all that like stuff this. That's too much.
10:35
I think just chilling is the best way to do it.
10:41
Nothing I don't. I don't care about going out and
10:45
jet skiing and all that stuff. Let's just chill.
10:49
I also like, I like the idea of a boat more than actually
10:53
piloting it. It sucks.
10:56
You are never not at 10. Like every single thing wants to
11:01
take you out and you're the guy with his hands on the wheel.
11:04
Like so if you take somebody else out, you are completely
11:07
screwed. Like it is.
11:10
It's like, it's like that freaking bridge in
11:15
Massachusetts, the one that came down.
11:19
Oh, because that more because that cargo ship, the Baltimore,
11:22
is that what it was? Yeah, Yeah, it.
11:23
Was the Francis Scott Keybridge. And and whatever happened, what
11:27
is what happened, I don't think we'll ever really truly know
11:30
what that was about. Because that was interesting,
11:34
wasn't it, how all that happened and played out and the videos.
11:38
And I'm just going to leave that one alone because I don't want
11:40
to had anything to do with it. So a cargo container ship, and
11:44
I'm talking big boy, I'm talking a city block.
11:46
This is this is a skyscraper on its side.
11:49
It's like it's a city block is like less than half the ship.
11:54
Like, yeah, like this is this is something that is taller than
12:01
most, like skyscrapers. Yeah.
12:04
And you have those containers the the shipping containers
12:10
stacked like 10 high. OK. 15 high 20 high just stacked
12:17
and and filled. So the boat itself is a
12:19
building, then you got another building stacked on top of it.
12:24
OK. On its side and it's doing what,
12:27
1012 knots? Yeah, I I don't think it was
12:31
going. But it was.
12:34
It was. It was a little bit too fast for
12:37
where where it was. So it's, it's two buildings on
12:41
its side and they're running at like 12 knots, which is a little
12:45
bit faster than ours. So it's not bad.
12:47
But it's, I mean, it's, it's moving and it's, it weighs 180
12:51
tons. I mean, this thing weighs the,
12:53
it's, it's, it's literally a building.
12:56
It weighs as much as a building, so they can't stop it.
12:59
They can't slow it down without the help of like 4 tug boats,
13:02
which they, as far as I know, they didn't have.
13:05
They're supposed to have pilot boats to bring them out from the
13:09
dock away from this bridge because the bridge is very
13:12
important. It's a bridge.
13:15
So as far as I know, there weren't any pilot boats or there
13:18
weren't any pilot boats on them, but they were, they were there.
13:22
I can't remember. Anyway, you see a video that was
13:26
taken from the other side where the ship is coming at you and
13:30
it's away from the bridge. So you can see the bridge in the
13:32
boat coming at it and the boat is going full tilt and you know
13:38
it's going full tilt because it's literally throwing black
13:41
smoke, just just blowing black smoke.
13:45
And the boat is turning into one of the bridges feet, the the
13:52
pillars. Then all the lights go out and
13:55
the black smoke stops. The ship has lost power now
13:59
they're slowing down, but they're still doing 10 knots.
14:03
As fast as our boat goes at full tilt, they're doing that slowing
14:06
down with no power, heading towards one of the footers.
14:10
The lights come back on, immediate black smoke pouring
14:14
out of the boat. So they are still in full tilt.
14:19
Is that a which one's that? That's the boat.
14:22
Oh yeah. So they're still going full
14:24
tilt. As soon as the engines come back
14:26
up, as soon as they get power again, they are immediately back
14:29
at full tilt like nobody ever turned the throttle down.
14:33
So what they're thinking is he threw it in reverse but kept the
14:38
the throttle all the way in to try and stop the boat.
14:42
They couldn't. They were already they lost
14:44
power. So they have been drifting at
14:46
this pillar, slowing down, but not slowing down enough.
14:50
And then as soon as the power comes back on, it's full tilt
14:53
reverse, which throws the boat like this, but it's still going
14:56
at the pillar to a point, yeah, it's drifting the back end out
15:00
because he's trying to reverse out.
15:02
I think it loses power a second time.
15:05
Same thing happens, loses power soon as the power comes back on
15:10
full tilt in reverse and then they slam into the bridge and
15:13
the whole bridge collapse. I thought.
15:15
Completely collapses. I thought they were out of power
15:18
whenever they hit the bridge, but I could be wrong, I don't
15:21
remember. Either that instance where they
15:23
were out of power by the time they hit the bridge, but I know
15:25
it lost power twice. And as far as I could tell, I'm
15:30
I'm assuming that it was mechanical because nobody,
15:33
nobody, nobody takes care of these this.
15:35
Is an old ship. It was.
15:37
Owned by a shell company. Owned by a shell company and the
15:41
IT was registered outside of the United States.
15:44
Well, they all are. Well, yeah, that's a.
15:46
Totally irrelevant thing, yeah. It was in a place that has super
15:53
relaxed. Oh, yes, that standards, that's
15:56
also incredibly common, yeah. So super relaxed standards.
16:00
They hadn't actually inspected the ship in years.
16:05
Like decades. I would assume.
16:07
So it it very easily could have been mechanical and just that
16:12
was that was all it had left and that was it.
16:16
I, I assume because you hope that it was all mechanical and
16:22
it just happens and that bridge was up for 100 years, 80 years,
16:26
something like that. Yeah, and that there was also
16:29
issues with that bridge too they.
16:31
Well, there has never been a cargo ship that slammed into it.
16:34
Yeah, that's true. In 80 to 100 years.
16:36
Yeah. That's a pretty good run.
16:37
Yeah. Well, yeah.
16:38
Like, I wish it hadn't have happened.
16:41
But if it's going to happen, Newton's law says it will
16:44
happen. You know what I mean?
16:45
It's like so I I don't. Honestly.
16:48
Think it was on purpose. I don't.
16:50
I don't if it was on purpose, they chose the worst possible
16:53
time to do it because there was not that many people on the
16:57
bridge, which is a huge lock. Thank God.
17:01
Yeah, thank God. There it was, at a time of
17:06
mourning. Is it Robert Key?
17:09
For the bridge, yeah, I think it's the Francis Scott Key
17:11
Bridge. Francis Scott Key.
17:12
That's right. Yeah, so the dude that wrote the
17:15
Star Spangled Banner. That's crazy.
17:17
Yeah, so that's that bridge is named after.
17:19
Him. I'm immediately back to the
17:21
conspiracy. How do you piss off your
17:24
adversary more than knocking the bridge down?
17:26
That's named after the guy that has your anthem.
17:30
Oh, get out. Wrote it on a warship.
17:34
That's crazy. No, I, I, I don't know.
17:41
I I from my understanding now, I don't know too much about it,
17:44
but from my understanding is Baltimore and more specifically
17:50
Maryland, 'cause I think that bridge fell under Maryland's
17:53
jurisdiction as far as like the road maintenance and stuff,
17:57
right. They had it, it also had been
18:03
under inspected. Yeah.
18:06
And its. Infrastructure in America.
18:09
Oh yeah, yeah, 100%. But this was one of the bridges
18:13
flagged as a possible collapsing risk outside of a container ship
18:19
hitting it 'cause obviously any bridge is coming down if a
18:22
container ship hits one of its main footings, right?
18:26
Like there's, there's nothing you can do like that's.
18:28
There's so much weight. There's so much weight on that
18:31
one footing that everything's coming down there's.
18:33
So much weight. There's no behind that hit.
18:35
It's insane like. So I think they were, they were
18:42
both obviously upset that it happened, but there is a lot of
18:47
relief because if that bridge comes down, the more likely time
18:52
it comes down outside of a ship hitting it is during rush hour
18:57
traffic when there's so much weight on that.
19:00
So it's like it's lucky that that ship hit it when it did
19:06
because I think it was flagged for like dangerous, like needing
19:12
to be replaced bridges. I was wrong on the weight.
19:16
Oh yeah. Way wrong.
19:18
Well, I you said it and I was like, I'm not going to say
19:21
anything, but that doesn't sound right.
19:25
I said 180 tons, it's 200,000 tons.
19:28
Yeah, OK. Yeah.
19:29
So you know, I was like 180. That sounds really light.
19:33
That is so fucking heavy. That's a what is that one, £1.6
19:38
million or something? And this thing is fully loaded
19:42
too. That's what I just looked up.
19:44
Yeah, fully loaded, just 200 tons.
19:47
Yeah. That's like a mil 6 lbs.
19:51
I don't even know what that is like.
19:52
You know how numbers become incomprehensible after a while?
19:56
I don't even know what the like like the calculation like what?
20:01
What weighs that much? A cargo ship?
20:03
Yes, I understand like. A Bridge 202. 100,000 tons 100.
20:08
1000. Which is. 200 a ton is.
20:14
That is £200 million or something like that, 'cause it's
20:19
£1000, right? I thought a ton was 2000.
20:22
Miles. Oh, it might be 2000.
20:23
So then it's 4. 100 million. Yeah, 400,000,000 lbs Pounds
20:28
Pounds £400 million. What number did I just have?
20:32
In my head I said 1.6. Yeah, I don't know.
20:35
By 8. Because it was.
20:37
It was 22. 1000. Times the 200,000 I.
20:40
Was like what? Yeah, 2000 times the 200,000.
20:44
Yeah, £400,000 yes, that's an insane amount.
20:50
Wait. Incomprehensible number like
20:53
there's nothing to compare it to.
20:55
What like you mean the moon? Like I don't know what else
20:59
weighs that much the. Moon isn't real.
21:02
Yeah, I mean, if it was real. Totally kidding.
21:07
I literally don't know like how to even compare that weight.
21:11
But yeah, it's, it's shit like that where you take your, your
21:19
life savings out for a day on the lake and then dickhead comes
21:24
through in something like that and you know.
21:28
So I just plugged in a really quick calculation.
21:32
It would take 1.87 million Mees to equal that container ship
21:41
fully loaded 1.87 million Mees at 213 lbs because that's what I
21:49
weighed in last, which I dropped another pound.
21:52
Whoop. Whoop whoop.
21:54
So not an insignificant portion of the population of the state
22:00
like. Yeah.
22:03
That's absurd. How many people live in
22:08
Baltimore? You know what's insane?
22:11
That floats. Yeah, exactly.
22:14
You know what, I also think this is going to come so far left
22:18
field, you're both going to look at me.
22:20
I don't think sea level is rising because of global
22:25
warming. I think sea level is rising
22:30
because we're putting how much did it weigh?
22:34
£400 million. I think we're putting £400
22:37
million in the water. Do you know what happens when
22:40
you put weight in a water? It.
22:42
Displaces the water. But you also it's not.
22:46
It's also about how the ships are built.
22:51
So like that would displace that much water, but it's only
22:54
calculated based off of what's below the water line.
22:57
So the ship displacement is not calculating the weight of the
23:01
actual ship, it's what's below the water line is what's
23:04
actually being displaced. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
23:08
It's not, it's not £400 million. What's being displaced is being
23:13
pushed somewhere else, you know, you know, like higher, higher
23:18
water level on a shoreline. So that's one ship, right?
23:24
How many cargo ships and pleasure yachts and billionaire
23:28
yachts and how many things have we built into the ocean that
23:35
displaced the water that used to be where that thing is now
23:37
built? You know what I mean?
23:40
I understand. Like what I'm saying is like
23:42
incomprehensible, like the the human being cannot displace the
23:46
ocean level. But at a certain point, if we
23:49
filled the ocean with shit, the ocean would rise, would it not?
23:53
Yeah. So how can we say that that's
23:56
not the cause? So the average weight of an
24:10
adult American is 199.8 lbs. That's big boy.
24:17
Yeah. Big boys.
24:21
It would take just shy. Let's see here.
24:31
I'm such a contradiction. I'm below average and above
24:34
average at the same time. What?
24:38
Does that mean? I'm below average in height and
24:41
weight, but I'm above average in something else.
24:44
Gross. That would take 3.54 times the
24:50
Baltimore population. Based off of average weight, it
24:55
would take 3.54 Baltimore's to equal the weight of that
24:59
container. That's insane cause the
25:02
Baltimore population is right around 560-5000.
25:06
And don't get me wrong, those ships are enormous.
25:08
Like you couldn't fit, what was it, 1.4 million people in that
25:13
same space? Well, it's.
25:17
Like. I just.
25:19
It's unbelievable that that thing floats.
25:22
It's crazy. There's also, I don't know where
25:27
I saw it or what this festival is called, but there is like
25:33
this competition making concrete boats.
25:37
I don't know if you've ever seen this.
25:39
I have seen concrete boats, I've never seen a competition.
25:42
For it, it's it's literally making concrete boats at this
25:47
whatever festival or whatever thing this competition and they
25:51
make it from scratch and build these boats like so that it can
25:57
hold like 3 people. OK, that's.
25:58
My that was my next question. Yeah, it's not like a massive
26:03
boat, but you build it, you know, right there on the
26:09
shoreline. I mean, it's concrete.
26:11
Concrete, yeah. And with the lake water.
26:14
Yeah, and everything like you build the forms yourself and
26:19
which I think is insane that you can make concrete float.
26:23
I've I've actually seen concrete ships like 3540 foot boats.
26:29
So I've seen a 60 foot concrete boat which is the dumbest thing
26:33
I've ever heard, but it works. It just like like.
26:38
Buoyancy. Like Bethesda said, it just
26:41
works. Buoyancy.
26:46
I'm glad I stuck to my guns because we were really close to
26:49
getting a a steel or aluminum hull and I'm glad I stuck with
26:55
fiberglass. I really am that it's such a
26:58
fucking headache. Everything else is just just
27:02
waiting to corrode and degrade and fall apart.
27:05
And fiberglasses like Oh no, it'll be here for the next 7000
27:11
years. If you just put it on the
27:13
ground, it'll just be there forever.
27:16
Like wow, holy shit, look at that thing.
27:21
Is that Fuji? It's some mountain.
27:27
I'm excited though. I'm glad we finally got it
27:30
squared away and we can actually start enjoying the thing and
27:33
hopefully never see a cargo ship near me ever.
27:38
I it's like that cruise ship, man.
27:42
You think a cargo ship's big? These cruise ships are the
27:46
biggest things that's ever been like ever floated.
27:49
It's, it's unbelievable how big they are.
27:52
And to have one, I'm not kidding, 30 feet from my boat, I
27:55
was like, that's, that's insane. That's like nearly death.
28:02
I say I don't I don't think the the story was portrayed like it
28:06
was So the one that blew us up onto the dock.
28:09
That was at like 4:00 in the morning and then I just didn't
28:12
really sleep, if I'm honest. And then at like 6:00 in the
28:15
morning, I was like, all right, I'm going into the Marina.
28:17
I'm take grabbing a shower, getting ready, grabbing some
28:19
coffee. We'll get on the go.
28:21
We come out of the Marina shop, which is inland like a good, I
28:25
don't know, half mile and I'm looking down towards my boat and
28:30
there's a cruise ship going by again.
28:33
And that's when I took the picture.
28:34
It's like, what the hell is going on?
28:38
Like we need to get out of here. We're we're so in the wrong
28:42
place. We shouldn't be like.
28:44
If you have that picture still. Oh yeah.
28:46
Send that to me and I'll put I'll post it up on the on video.
28:50
That's the the thumbnail for the the podcast upload.
28:53
For this episode, yeah. It was, it was, it was surreal
28:57
being that close twice. To something that massive.
29:02
And actually see in the second one, because the first one, by
29:04
the time we got out, he's already passed us by, however
29:09
long it takes for his wake to get to us.
29:11
And then we finally looked out the windows, he's already on his
29:14
way. And when I come out of the
29:17
Marina house and it's literally like halfway, I was like, that's
29:21
the biggest thing that's ever been like, it's, it's unreal.
29:27
But I'm excited to to take it out and actually enjoy it and
29:32
destress a little. That would be a fun first video
29:38
podcast episode. Taking the boat out.
29:40
Yeah, just being out on the boat.
29:42
We could do that. We.
29:43
Could do. That I'd like.
29:44
That, that'd be a blast. We can set up on the back deck.
29:51
I think that would be a lot of fun.
29:54
I wouldn't mind. Yeah.
30:00
Yeah, because I think Dad could use a day out on the lake too.
30:03
I'd say we got to do it after he he gets his thing taken care of
30:09
and then it's ready to go, man, We can actually start enjoying
30:13
the thing. Yeah.
30:15
We won't have to worry about TV's falling on me because there
30:18
won't be 1. Well, that it's in, unless he
30:22
wants to put one back on there. One when I'm on it.
30:28
OK, pull a Linus. I was thinking about mounting
30:36
that one like off the ceiling but I never got to.
30:40
We were too busy. Yeah, never not busy with that
30:44
boat. Yeah.
30:47
Feel like that's like a house on steroids.
30:49
It really was. 'Cause it's like it's not just,
30:55
you know, it's not just like the typical house stuff that you
30:58
have to deal with, you also have to deal with it rocking
31:00
constantly. So there are things that are
31:03
going to go bad just because it's constantly moving.
31:06
It depends on where you're at when it comes to moving.
31:09
Like with us, the only time it moved was when assholes were
31:15
literally. Yeah.
31:16
But if you're, if you're walking around and shifting the weight,
31:19
I mean, it's not like moving a ton.
31:22
It's moving enough, moving more than this house.
31:26
Yeah. So there are things that are
31:28
going to go bad just from the shifting weight of the boat on
31:33
the water. I know whenever Chance got up on
31:36
the boat it would move. Oh yeah, he's a big boy.
31:40
Just just his weight. Stepping onto the boat.
31:42
It would move around. Yeah, we had three dogs, 3
31:46
pitbulls above 55 just. Looked at this picture.
31:53
Yeah, no. Which one is?
31:56
That so I sent him the one with the cruise ship.
31:58
Oh yeah. It's, it's a Carnival cruise.
32:00
I just looked at the tag. Yeah, it's literally a Carnival
32:03
cruise. It's the biggest thing you've
32:05
ever been near. And it was that.
32:07
That's my boat in the bottom. I don't even know if you noticed
32:09
there's another boat in that picture.
32:10
Yeah, no, there's, there's three boats, but I see the, I see your
32:14
boat. Can you see how we're not inside
32:17
the Marina or on the outside? Yes.
32:19
There's nothing separating me and him.
32:21
Mm. Hmm.
32:22
I'm just at his mercy. Please slow down.
32:24
Yeah, I think that's why that one didn't blast us out of the
32:27
waters, because he was like, oh look, another boat.
32:30
That's insane. Yeah, that's the thumbnail.
32:35
So at 4:00 in the morning, I mean half asleep with Caddyshack
32:39
playing, I'm nice and peacefully half asleep and I get literally
32:42
lifted out of the water by that thing and thrown onto the dock.
32:46
It was unbelievable. That's crazy.
32:49
The, The captain's quarters have a door and dad was down in the
32:53
captain's quarters with the door shut and the Hatch locked above
32:56
it. So I mean, he's fully enclosed
32:57
in the bedroom. And we literally lifted up.
33:01
Like, I felt myself lift up out of the bed like I'm, I'm, I'm
33:04
going to heaven, like, and then slam back down.
33:07
And he, he immediately slung the door open and pulled the
33:11
hatchback and he's still in his boxers and he goes cruise ship,
33:14
cruise ship, cruise ship. He's he's on night medication
33:20
and everything. And he's stumbling up the
33:21
stairs. Yeah, that was, I'll never, ever
33:28
forget that, man. That was that was an absolutely
33:30
insane 2 1/2 days. When I got back, I just laid
33:35
down in the grass. I was like, oh, thank you.
33:37
God, man, that was that was too much.
33:42
Yeah, it was, I'm not going to say terrible planning because I
33:48
mean, it was fine, but the storm and that one Marina that was
33:53
that absolutely rocked me, man. I was like, I won't do this
33:57
anymore. Let's take it back, let's get
33:59
our money back. I won't do this anymore.
34:04
I also, we were looking at, we're looking at a few a lot
34:09
closer to home and some on the same waterway that we were
34:11
already on. And we didn't have to go to the
34:14
ocean and come around and go all the way to the north and come
34:17
back and all that good jazz. And it just happened to be that
34:20
that one was the one that we got and that one was the one that we
34:23
needed for what we needed and yadda, yadda, yadda.
34:26
And I was like, all right, now it's three days to home.
34:29
Let's hope like hell we've never piloted this boat.
34:32
I, I spoke to the owner twice. He didn't tell me anything more
34:36
than don't flip that switch. If that switch is on.
34:40
He's like, cuz shit up, bad shit will happen all over the boat,
34:43
bad stuff will happen. That was it.
34:45
He's like, you've been on a boat before, right?
34:47
And I was like, yeah, definitely never something like that.
34:50
I've never been on a boat with a bow thruster, ever.
34:54
That's. Yeah, he just straight up.
34:56
He was like, you're the keys. Bye.
34:59
I told you I called him like a month ago.
35:01
No numbers changed. I was like, oh, that doesn't
35:05
bode well. But at the same time like.
35:11
It all worked out, but yeah, that I was like, oh, don't like
35:15
that. Yeah, well, it's yours now.
35:22
Yeah, it's mine now. Jesus.
35:25
Oh, I'm excited. What an adventure.
35:28
It's it's one of my favorites. I've been on a lot of insane
35:34
straight up Lord of the Rings. We're going on an adventure and
35:39
that was that's one of my top three at least like.
35:43
Yeah, that's just, that's insane.
35:46
It was also really cool because I hadn't seen Dad and in a while
35:50
and it was nice to actually like take a trip with because I don't
35:53
think me and him have taken a trip together in years.
35:56
And it was, it was nice to actually just go, hey, you feel
35:59
like taking the Friday off of work and running up to the coast
36:03
with me and grabbing a boat and driving at home for three days.
36:06
And he was like, yeah, that sounds like a blast.
36:08
Yeah, let's do it. I was like, yeah, let's do that.
36:10
And we just, we literally got a cooler together and jumped on
36:13
the boat and started running. She dropped us off at the dock
36:18
and it's none of it's further than an hour from where we were.
36:22
So she could literally just drive over where we were on the
36:25
bank and go hi, it's just a river.
36:28
Like she's right. She's 30 feet from me, so it's
36:31
not that bad. But it was funny.
36:32
It was like I was writing like it.
36:34
You feel that like back in the day, like World War 2, like I'm
36:37
writing love letters. Like, it's been so long since
36:40
I've seen my Lorne like. And then I watched.
36:45
You're you turn into a a civil war.
36:48
Revolutionary War? Yeah, no civil war.
36:52
The the yeah, 'cause where we're at.
36:59
Oh, no. It was just a terrible movie.
37:03
Yeah. The Twitter accounts, right, of
37:07
different athletes as if they were generals from that era and
37:13
riding home. Oh, it's so good.
37:15
And so they, they talk about their enemies from, you know,
37:20
like the basketball team they just played right, You know, and
37:23
I just, I, I follow several of those accounts and they're just.
37:26
So funny. Gold.
37:28
It's so good. It's.
37:29
One of those ideas where it's like, I should have thought of
37:31
that and I'm mad I didn't, but I'm glad somebody did.
37:35
Oh yeah, and there's a I'm glad. Somebody thought that idea
37:38
enough to put it down on paper. That's so funny.
37:43
But I, I think definitely one of our, one of our episodes should
37:48
be letting both of you pilot that boat And just, I'm telling
37:55
you, your face flushes with white man.
37:59
You go, Oh my God, you don't realize like it's a big boat and
38:03
then you drive it and you're like, Oh my God, it's, it's way
38:06
bigger than I thought. Yeah, I don't.
38:10
I don't know if I would like that at all.
38:12
Let me see if. I can.
38:13
It's also that inner helm is like fully enclosed, like doors
38:17
shut and everything. It's the weirdest feeling to
38:19
drive a boat fully, like inside it's the strangest feeling.
38:28
Yeah, here it is. OK, So Captain Kylan Boswell,
38:33
young leader of Men Homegrown in the fields of Illinois, Honorary
38:37
dis chargie from the Battles of the Pacific parody account.
38:41
OK. Dear Mother, Air is thick with
38:47
tension while people pick their campus for future battle or
38:50
camps for future battle. Today, Lieutenant Tommy's
38:55
brother will join our ranks. He brings a unique blend of
38:58
strength and familiarity, reminding us that our fight is a
39:04
family affair. Lieutenant Big Z is now a
39:07
brother of mine, Casey. Jesus Christ.
39:11
It's so good. I love all of this.
39:14
This is a it's a basketball player for the University of
39:18
Illinois. That's really.
39:19
Good, they're parenting. You know, that's really good.
39:22
That's just the first one I thought of, like I knew I would
39:25
be able to find him. I'm just.
39:26
Glad somebody thought enough to go.
39:29
I think this would be really funny, like turning.
39:32
I think their started. Game interview into a letter.
39:36
Home. It wasn't even post game.
39:37
It's literally the dudes are typing out current events 'cause
39:42
this was not like even a post game interview.
39:45
This was one of the brother or one of the players on the team
39:49
has a twin brother who plays for another basketball team who just
39:52
transferred to Illinois so that he could play.
39:55
So the twins are playing together.
39:57
Do you know how legendary like of a father you have to be to
40:00
have twin boys that both play college basketball?
40:05
That both play college basketball overseas.
40:09
Like. Because these guys are from who
40:13
cares? A stand, Yeah.
40:14
You know, like I, I don't know where they're from, but like.
40:21
Cares is stands awesome. No, I think it's it's awesome.
40:26
But they they both got, you know, recruited to play college
40:32
basketball in another country. The idea of having a son is
40:39
like, hell yes. And then you have two and
40:41
they're twins and they both play college ball and you're like
40:44
both. D1 starters.
40:46
They both survived childhood I got them through and now they're
40:50
both D1 start. Like Jesus Christ, just sit.
40:54
Back. Just relax man.
40:56
Possibility of making that a career.
40:59
You did it. Relax.
41:00
That's crazy. Retire, never have another kid
41:04
like you. You did it.
41:06
You did it so good the first time.
41:07
You should never ever attempt it again.
41:09
Like that's so funny. The twins have a sister who
41:12
hears this podcast. She's like, thanks guys you
41:15
hated. It.
41:16
Thanks five stars. Hanks hated it.
41:21
So good. Oh, I hope that's the bit.
41:26
Oh, yeah. God, I hope every comment, every
41:28
review of the podcast is just. Thanks.
41:30
Hated it. Yeah.
41:34
Please review us. Ryan, I'll do a senpai dance.
41:41
Dude I would love to make. To do a senpai dance.
41:45
No, no, not even. I would love.
41:47
I would love to make a podcast. I don't know, category.
41:57
Yeah, I don't, you know, something on on the show of us
42:02
just reading the most degenerate reviews of our podcast.
42:07
I'm so excited for that. Oh yeah, that is 100 percent,
42:11
100% what I'll do. Degenerate comments like just
42:15
set it up to where we just have degenerate comments.
42:19
I saw somebody the other day who was, I think they, they launched
42:23
their own site and it's where they host their common content
42:27
that they can't put on YouTube or TikTok or any of that stuff.
42:30
It's it's if it's edgy or if it talks about a certain virus or
42:34
it does this or does that, they don't want to get demonetized.
42:36
So they take it to their own site.
42:37
But the site's like 4 bucks a month.
42:39
It's like a Patreon slash their own hosting service.
42:44
And he recognized while people were signing up initially, he
42:51
called them out in a video and he's like, hey, I just want to
42:53
talk to y'all. I know everybody's probably
42:56
fine, but I just need to check in.
42:59
You guys know I can see your usernames, right?
43:03
They're all as bad as you think and more.
43:05
It's it's some of the most degenerate shit ever.
43:08
And then when he made the video, he noticed that it got worse.
43:12
Oh yeah, of. Course, so he made a follow up
43:14
and he goes OK now that you guys know I can see it now here are
43:19
the names that I appreciate and he just he goes off 2030 names
43:23
or and it's just the most unhinged shit.
43:30
What is happening? Goose wants in his chair, Yeah.
43:35
Stop it. He.
43:37
Hawked up and just licked him. Yeah, just yeah.
43:40
I was falling asleep earlier and he just started licking my
43:43
ankle. I think I passed out, I don't
43:45
even know. Weird dog.
43:49
No, they they don't mind the boat either.
43:52
I'll say we've had him on there a couple of times while we're
43:55
like going and as long as you don't lock them down in the
43:58
bedroom, they don't mind. I know chance when I would go up
44:05
there I. Just spiked that mic so hard.
44:08
When I would go up there, Chance would just go and chill out.
44:14
On the back. Deck on the on, Yeah, yeah.
44:17
Anywhere. Anywhere he could get sun and he
44:19
just plopped. He loved the outside of that
44:23
boat, man. I say he, he was an outside dog
44:30
before. Yeah.
44:31
And then we moved out to the literally the country.
44:34
I mean, it's it's might as well be there's a like there's a
44:39
farm, 25 acres that backs up to that place.
44:43
So I mean, we're we're out there and he was just such an outside
44:48
dog. He's like, never bring me
44:49
inside. And if you do, I'm going to be
44:51
like, I'm going to bitch and moan about it, man.
44:53
He was like, as soon as you bring him in, he'd start whining
44:56
and go to the doors. Like let me back out.
44:58
He's like, I love it out here. Let me go.
45:02
Hey, he got out of the fence a few times.
45:06
I think I showed you that. Yeah, he he'd get under the
45:09
fence, but every single property in that location, like it just
45:14
in that like neighborhood, every single property has fences.
45:18
So every property is fenced to the next property.
45:22
So he dug through the fence into another fenced yard.
45:25
And then just, yeah, he he looked at me.
45:28
He's like, what the hell is this place?
45:30
Like, he's like, I don't even like it here anymore.
45:33
He. This is a prison.
45:35
He walked across the He walked across the seawall around the
45:41
fence into the neighbors like area.
45:44
And I was like, what are you doing?
45:46
Like now you're in another fenced area.
45:49
You were already in a fence to just walk back around, just come
45:53
back this way. He, he'd make it a game as they
45:57
do. I literally would jump over the
45:59
fence 'cause it's just an empty lot, just fenced and I, I jump
46:02
over the fence and he'd like do the praying pose.
46:05
He's like, come get me fucker. And he'd just run around the
46:08
lot. We had a an orange cat that
46:14
somebody left at the property. Beans.
46:16
His name was Beans and he would jump from the seawall onto the
46:22
back deck of the boat not knowing Chance was up there
46:26
because the boat is like 6 feet higher than the seawall and the
46:30
cat would literally get on top of the boat.
46:32
And Chance does not play with cats.
46:34
Yeah. He plays with them, yeah.
46:38
He eats them. So the cat would literally get
46:41
to the deck and Chance would realize what's happening and
46:44
like immediately go after it. The cat would jump into the
46:47
river and swim back to the way where he just was.
46:51
I'd come outside 'cause I heard Chance like losing his mind up
46:54
on top of the boat and I'd just see the cat walking away just
46:58
shaking all the water off. He did that like 3 times.
47:01
I'm like stop jumping onto this boat.
47:03
This is. Your.
47:04
Fault. It's a huge dog on this boat,
47:06
like there's two huge dogs and a very fast little dog like stop
47:11
jumping onto this boat. You see him cuddling.
47:16
Goose is using chances of blanket and a pillow their.
47:19
Best buds. The babies.
47:23
But I yeah, I didn't know how that was going to work, man.
47:29
I really didn't. See a little best?
47:34
It works though, if you can, if you can find a cheap place to
47:38
dock. Man, living on a boat is fucking
47:40
sweet. It's it's especially right now
47:44
when everything is as insane as it is.
47:46
Like just get you a boat. You can bring that thing in the
47:50
middle of the city. There's marinas right there in
47:53
the middle of Orlando. You just, you can just be in
47:56
downtown Orlando on the boat like it's, it's such a good
47:58
idea. It's.
47:59
Literally like a. Condo.
48:02
Not even like a tiny home. Yeah, actually, yeah.
48:05
Like a floating tiny home. Yeah, it's, it's so, so cool.
48:08
And somebody that was very claustrophobic had no problem.
48:13
I mean I had a problem but. She said no problem.
48:18
Well, some problem. Well, sound like.
48:21
Too crazy, but. That shower was a joke.
48:25
That, yeah. I I was asking dad the other
48:27
day. I was like, can you fit there?
48:29
No, the shower head is at his chest.
48:31
Yeah, I'm like, alright, we're gonna fix that.
48:34
Everybody that I talked to that knew that we were on the boat,
48:37
like my old boss specifically was like, why?
48:43
Like why? Why are you on a why are you
48:45
living on a boat? What are?
48:46
What are you doing? People.
48:49
And I'm like, it's not not that bad.
48:50
They're like, Amber, what are you doing?
48:53
Oh my God. I don't care.
48:54
I told everybody it's cheap. It's so cheap.
48:57
It was like same as the rest of it.
48:59
It was like 600 bucks a month. It's the cheapest thing out
49:01
there for a two-bedroom, 2 bath with three dogs.
49:05
Come on. Yeah.
49:06
Nobody's going to let you have three pit bulls in an apartment.
49:09
It's such a good idea. I wouldn't mind getting a boat.
49:13
It's it's a really good idea. Let's say the the part is the
49:17
finding of cheap place to keep it.
49:19
That was the hard part. Like that's we got lucky.
49:23
I'd say we were looking for a Marina last month and I happen
49:26
to know the guy and he was like, yeah, I got a couple available.
49:29
He's like, you better get him quick though.
49:32
He's like they're going. No.
49:37
I've kept tabs on a couple different marinas through the
49:40
years and it's like, Nope, we're full up.
49:43
We're full up all year. Every year we have a wait list
49:46
and the price goes up every year because of that.
49:49
And it's like, if you find a cheap place to keep it, man,
49:52
take it. It's such a good idea.
49:59
Yeah. I mean, I don't see that
50:02
happening anytime soon. You got to get bike first.
50:05
I got to get a bike first. I say now Luke, he's got one.
50:09
I say you got to get one. Yeah.
50:12
We'll take you and Luca and we'll take the bikes because
50:15
he'll be up in Hawthorne. So do.
50:20
You say Luca? I didn't want to say his name.
50:23
I say we can meet in the middle on the bikes and just yeah,
50:27
yeah, do the Loop take you all out to Cedar Key on your first
50:32
day riding a bike like I did. No, you guys can go, not me.
50:40
The guy that you. Can get in the bars this time.
50:42
Oh. Yeah, I can.
50:44
Yeah. Plus but the reason why I didn't
50:47
want to go is cause the bike situation was terrible.
50:51
Still terrible, I mean. It's better than sitting on the
50:55
back of a A. Shadow, yeah.
50:58
The wheel, was it Fender? Yeah, yeah, there was no, there
51:04
really wasn't a seat. On the Shadow, Yeah, it was just
51:07
a pad. Yeah, on the wheel.
51:08
I'm totally with you. Yeah, I agreed.
51:11
So bad. No AI could.
51:13
I could put that Mustang seat back on the Harley, but at that
51:17
point it's still just a pad. Get a sidecar.
51:22
I I would keep trying to get. A sexy.
51:24
I keep trying to get one, she won't do it.
51:26
So cool. I want a sidecar.
51:28
I've wanted a sidecar for years. I am that guy.
51:32
I don't care. I will run a sidecar.
51:34
I think they're great. You can.
51:35
Be. In the sidecar, in his, on his
51:38
bike. So you going to drive my bike?
51:40
Doesn't say where you going to go.
51:41
Or whoever else wants to take me for a ride.
51:45
The fuck? She's like, I don't try.
51:48
Or I go with his dad on his bike.
51:50
Hated it. I go on his dad's bike.
51:53
No, the sidecar wouldn't be a bad idea for if we're going to
51:57
make like a a couple day trip, Yeah, and just throwing bags
52:01
into it. I love a sidecar, dude.
52:04
I'll do it every time. Like if somebody was like, I
52:06
have a sidecar to give you, I immediately taking it like it's
52:10
so there. Is no question about it.
52:13
I love it, it's so cool. I I like.
52:16
I like odd shit. I like, I like.
52:19
They're so odd, too unique, yes, and I just I don't there's
52:25
something about the sidecar and honestly, I would love to have a
52:32
sidecar and then have a dog with those like the big ass like
52:42
goggles and just chilling in the sidecar like that would just
52:48
just riding around with a dog in the sidecar.
52:52
I would that scares me only because I've I've met goose.
52:55
Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, I understand.
52:57
No, an actual dog. Yeah.
52:59
Yeah. A trained dog yeah to know and.
53:03
And latched in yeah you know properly safety concerns you
53:08
know all that stuff. But I've seen the dude that
53:12
rides around with his like Goldendoodle or something, one
53:17
of those dogs with excessive curly hair and he's got just big
53:24
ass goggles on. He's got a little helmet where
53:27
the ears like go around the helmet.
53:29
That's so cool. Oh, it's adorable.
53:31
And he's got a backpack like harness for him.
53:35
On the dog. On So the dog has a harness on
53:39
and it's a backpack for him, so the dog's just chilling on his
53:42
back, just riding on on the sport bike he drives around.
53:46
That's too cool. Yeah, and the dog loves it.
53:50
If I had a dog that was chill, sure, but I've met the goose and
53:55
he's the worst dog I've ever had in a car ever.
53:59
He's almost caused like 3 accidents.
54:01
Like that dog is the worst thing to put in a car.
54:04
I don't even know what his deal is.
54:06
He just loses his mind dude. He'll run under the pedals,
54:09
he'll he'll shift the shifter on you, he'll jump like through
54:13
your lap under the steering wheel and then grab the door
54:16
handle with his claws and try and open the door.
54:19
It's the craziest thing. Puts it in neutral and reverse
54:22
at the same time. You see the dog on TV.
54:26
In the black lap. Missed it.
54:27
I saw it. It was a water Buffalo.
54:29
Yeah, pretty much. That was a big dog.
54:32
Big poppers. Yeah, I think, I think
54:36
everything's starting to line up and starting to do what it needs
54:38
to be doing and what it should have been doing for the last
54:40
like 3 years. So I'm glad that it's all
54:44
starting to get to where it needs to be.
54:46
And we'll get a bike, we'll get the boat.
54:49
We'll actually start taking this stuff out and enjoying Florida
54:52
like it should be enjoyed. Because I haven't, I haven't
54:55
camped and I don't know the last time I went camping.
55:00
Yeah, I haven't. I haven't camped since I lived
55:03
in Illinois. I.
55:04
Don't know the last time I took the boat out like for real.
55:07
The last time we camped was 2017.
55:12
Jesus, I have looked at. 10 years.
55:16
Tents that are made to go on the back of my SUV.
55:26
Oh yeah, I love those. Throw up the tailgate and then
55:30
it just. I love those.
55:32
I would and and that's like large enough for me maybe one
55:37
other person to easily get away with and just go on a a trip.
55:44
I would say I comfortably slept in the back of the Eclipse with
55:47
her. It was great.
55:49
It was honestly one of my favorite camping cars.
55:51
I was like, this thing's sick. You put the backseat of an
55:53
Eclipse down and it's a hatchback, so the whole thing is
55:56
just a barrel. It's so comfortable.
56:00
We were not comfortable. You weren't.
56:03
I slept like a rock. We had mentioned if we slept the
56:06
other way we would have had better sleep.
56:09
Plus it was like raining like crazy.
56:12
I think it's all slept so well. We we put the tackle boxes in
56:15
the bottom of the tent and when we woke up, the tent was like 10
56:18
feet that way. They just took off in the middle
56:21
of the night even with stuff in it.
56:23
And I was like, Oh my God, man, what are we doing camping right
56:26
now? Like it was like a, it was a, it
56:30
was a beach campsite and it was like a Gale in the middle of the
56:33
night with rain and Thunder. And it just took the tent with
56:35
it. And I was like, Nah, we're
56:37
getting in the car. It was, we were fine for like a
56:39
good 10 minutes and then it started dripping into the tent
56:42
and I'm like, Nope, getting back in the car electronics.
56:46
I was like, we're sitting there watching friends or something.
56:48
I was like, back in the car. No I I had a Ranger with a
56:54
Topper and check this out. Blow up mattress in the back of
57:00
the Topper with a heated blanket.
57:02
'Cause it was like 20°. Oh, I love cold weather.
57:06
Was the best. Oh yeah, yeah.
57:09
Everybody in the campsite, there's like 10 of us.
57:11
Everyone froze to like completely froze all night long.
57:15
Yeah. I'm in boxers with the dog in
57:18
between me and her and it's it's 80° in the back of this this
57:22
camper and I'm literally sweating like pulling the
57:25
blanket off in the middle of the night.
57:26
I'm like. In the window I'm like.
57:30
Steam is pouring out of this camper.
57:32
Everybody's like, I hate him so much.
57:35
Because they had like bundled up with so many blankets, slept in
57:39
like 3 hoodies and like. They would all get up in the
57:43
middle of the night to go sit by the fire to warm up and then go
57:46
back to bed. I'm like my not doing that.
57:49
My dad's talked about now that he's retiring, he's talked about
57:54
getting a camper, like an actual RV to do our football trips
58:00
every year and. Does he do like, restoration
58:03
work? Like, can he do cabinets and
58:06
electrical and plumbing and all that?
58:07
Yeah, no. Oh, never mind.
58:09
My dad doesn't know anything about a screwdriver shots.
58:13
Shots fired at Charles. No, no, he will be the first one
58:15
to tell you this. He he said that he did not
58:20
understand where I got my like love of working like with tools.
58:26
And stuff. My mechanical like enjoyment.
58:29
He's like, I don't know where that came from.
58:31
He's like, it's not from me, it's from it's from mom's side
58:34
because it's not. He's like, I have a toolbox and
58:38
I don't know what's in there, but that man knows his way
58:42
around a garden. Heard he's got the greenest
58:46
thumb of anyone I know outside of my great Aunt Laura.
58:49
Same with my dad. Yeah, it's the weirdest thing,
58:52
man. It's a dead plant.
58:54
Yeah. He he picks the pot up with his
58:56
thumb, literally with his thumb and puts it on the shelf.
58:59
And I can already see the plant. Like, like it picks up.
59:02
It's crazy. Yeah, outside of my grandpa who
59:05
actually farmed for a living, you know, and my great aunt
59:09
Laura, who has just a ridiculous garden, I've never seen anyone
59:16
garden like my dad. Yeah, like just he, I mean, he
59:21
loves it and that's great, you know, 'cause we always had fresh
59:25
veggies and he would share it with neighbors and stuff, 'cause
59:29
we, he always had way more than we could ever eat.
59:34
But yeah, if if it comes to fixing something with tools, he
59:41
he's just like, yeah, I don't have somebody he called somebody
59:45
to take care of the garden hose that froze to the if that tells
59:52
you anything like and he'll he'll be the first one to say
59:55
it. So this is not I'm not throwing
59:57
shade at him. Shots fired anyway, But that's
1:00:00
just, you know, that's him. He just that's not never been
1:00:03
something that he learned. I, I think it's just that type
1:00:07
of generational man because I, I knew another guy around my dad's
1:00:12
age around that generation that he, he worked a mechanical job.
1:00:16
Like he was, I think he was actually in like service and
1:00:19
maintenance and mechanical. And he would come home, grab a
1:00:23
beer and go in the backyard and he had a literal like Florida
1:00:27
rainforest lush, like dragon plant garden.
1:00:34
It was insane. And he just went out there with
1:00:36
the garden hose and he drank till the sun went down and just
1:00:39
beer. Like he'd sit out there by
1:00:40
himself in the silence and just sit there and water the plants
1:00:44
until he went to bed. I was like, this is the weirdest
1:00:47
hobby I've ever seen but I get it.
1:00:49
Like I I understand. Totally.
1:00:51
I totally peace. Yeah, the peace.
1:00:53
And then the it's, it's an actual accomplishment 'cause you
1:00:57
can see all the stages. You.
1:00:59
See anywhere from the plants starting to come up and then all
1:01:02
the way to the point where you're literally picking fresh
1:01:06
veggies and fruits off of the plants.
1:01:09
I know 111 of them. At least I know one of them did
1:01:12
it because he was like, if I'm in this house a second longer,
1:01:16
I'll kill everyone inside. I got to get out of this house.
1:01:20
Right now. The only way to do it is go
1:01:21
Outback and garden because I know the kids aren't coming out
1:01:24
here to mess with it because they hate being outside.
1:01:27
They've got video games and everybody else has AC inside.
1:01:30
They won't mess with me. And I know one of them at least
1:01:33
was like, Nah, if I'm out here, they won't come out here.
1:01:35
It's like it's so funny. That's that's that garage thing.
1:01:40
It very well could be one of the reasons my dad loved it.
1:01:43
I mean, he loved spending time with us, don't get me wrong, but
1:01:47
we were. Kids are a lot.
1:01:49
Oh yeah. Kids, there's so much there's.
1:01:51
Three of us within four years of each other.
1:01:54
No. Two boys.
1:01:56
Never girl, Never didn't smell like a gym sock in your room.
1:02:00
Oh yeah, God. And me and my brother played
1:02:05
every sport. Yeah, So my dad's, I mean, it
1:02:09
didn't help that my dad was also a football coach growing up
1:02:12
because, I mean, he he taught. I don't know if you ever knew
1:02:15
this. Yeah.
1:02:15
Yeah. He's a teacher.
1:02:16
Yeah. Currently a principal.
1:02:18
So he's finally retiring after, I don't know, 32 years, I think
1:02:23
32 years of public service. Fucking legend.
1:02:27
Oh yeah, 100%. Teaching high school students
1:02:30
and coaching baseball coaching. He coached tennis because they
1:02:35
didn't have a tennis coach. I guess they, I don't remember
1:02:37
the exact story, but he coached tennis a year just to fill in,
1:02:44
to make sure that they, the kids could, you know, do their sport
1:02:49
that they love right. Then he comes home and y'all are
1:02:53
arguing about a Wii Remote. He's like, I have to leave.
1:02:56
Well, we didn't. It wasn't until 8th grade years,
1:03:02
freshman year, we had video games in the house.
1:03:06
We didn't have it like at all. So we went outside and played.
1:03:10
We had wiffle ball like we had a backyard wiffle ball field and
1:03:15
it was excellent. And then when we when my parents
1:03:20
added on to the house, we had a addition that went right through
1:03:26
home, home plate in third base. So we had to move to the next
1:03:31
door neighbor's house. Sucks to suck, yeah?
1:03:33
So we played baseball back there, lots of good memories.
1:03:36
That's something I'd like to do is try a wiffle ball pitching.
1:03:40
I've seen the videos dude. I would love to figure out how
1:03:44
to do that because I can't. It's a.
1:03:45
Challenge, but I love it. I cannot throw a fastball
1:03:49
anymore. I did it I think two or three
1:03:51
times since we've been together. And like the last time I did it
1:03:54
completely tore my shoulder apart.
1:03:56
It was, I pitched it three times.
1:03:58
And the last time I literally like blew my shoulder apart.
1:04:02
I was like, Nope. That's why I stopped doing it in
1:04:04
the first place. I was like, I can't do that
1:04:05
anymore. It's like I just I got bad
1:04:08
shoulders. Couple years ago I I played
1:04:11
catch with a buddy of mine when I went and saw him up in
1:04:14
Illinois and I was like, I'm just going to see if I can throw
1:04:18
the knuckleball again. And I pulled it out without
1:04:22
telling him and pulled it out full throw knuckleball.
1:04:25
And that ball knuckled and then dropped like it should have.
1:04:28
And I was like, I still got it. And he goes, What was that?
1:04:34
I I know for sure there's a couple sports that I'm just
1:04:38
monster at, but the one that I had no idea was good at was
1:04:42
dodgeball. I had no idea.
1:04:45
I, I was like, I, as far as I know, I'm, I'm dog at this
1:04:48
'cause I, you played it as a kid and I mean like a, a child and
1:04:52
you remember getting absolutely clobbered in the face with a
1:04:56
ball and you're like, never again.
1:04:57
I never. Got cloppered in the face.
1:04:59
Yeah, well, well, us baseball players love dodgeball.
1:05:02
I played baseball all through my freaking childhood.
1:05:05
Don't fight me. So I.
1:05:08
US real baseball players. Got rocked with a ball at like
1:05:12
age 4. And I was like, I'm not.
1:05:14
I don't like that. That hurt.
1:05:15
That hurt. Yeah.
1:05:16
So when I got older, as it like a young adult, we went to this
1:05:21
like, I don't even know one of those trampoline fun game houses
1:05:26
and I don't even know why we were there.
1:05:27
I don't know what was going on, but I remember being like, I
1:05:31
felt like a Buddhist monk who locked in.
1:05:34
I literally was just like deflect, catch, catch.
1:05:37
I I caught it and then deflected his shot with his own caught
1:05:41
ball at the same time and caught that one.
1:05:44
It was like, who wants it? Like it was insane.
1:05:47
I was like, I'm, I'm ready, like.
1:05:49
I remember this. Where were we?
1:05:51
I have no idea why we were even there.
1:05:53
I remember that. It's so good.
1:05:56
Was it with the kids? It might have been, but gotta
1:06:01
find a. Trampoline place and I like
1:06:03
almost broke my toe, but I didn't think you were there for
1:06:06
that. I know T was there 'cause that's
1:06:15
who. Like he looked over at me and
1:06:16
was like, what the hell was that?
1:06:18
And I was like, I have no idea. Like you break out of this the
1:06:21
the vision and you're like. They were wasted.
1:06:25
That's why I kind. Of Oh, I probably was, yeah.
1:06:28
No, you. Do they serve 16 ounce beers at
1:06:31
a fun zone? Yeah, I was.
1:06:32
That was toast. I think so.
1:06:34
Duh. I.
1:06:34
Think so, of course. Yeah, that was fun.
1:06:39
They come up to the table. They're like, Sir, we're going
1:06:41
to have to take this beer tower. And I'm like, what?
1:06:43
And they're like, we don't even sell these.
1:06:45
We don't even know where you got this like.
1:06:46
I'd love to do a trampoline thing again.
1:06:49
But I brought it from home. You can't.
1:06:51
That's why I. Just, oh, I didn't hear that
1:06:53
part. I was like, you got a broken
1:06:55
everything. Sir, how did you get this
1:06:57
gasoline gas pump? Inside.
1:07:00
Beer tap Tower In this place, we don't sell alcohol.
1:07:08
Here I think, I think, I think if I had a shark attack and it
1:07:12
took one of my limbs, I would just replace it with a beer tab.
1:07:17
I was like, where was this going?
1:07:19
Where did this come from? I think that would be my
1:07:22
immediate, my immediate question to the doctor is like can would
1:07:26
you mind, Oh my God, a latch in there so I can attach like a, a
1:07:31
canteen in here like I have it. That's my first request.
1:07:34
I have it, it's a keg leg. We were both.
1:07:41
We both did the same thing and looked at each other.
1:07:45
Like that's good a keg leg. Peg leg.
1:07:50
Yeah. I prefer a peg leg, you know
1:07:52
