SPEAKER_01: You know what I love about doing this podcast?
0:02
SPEAKER_01: The fame?
0:04
SPEAKER_01: Obviously.
0:05
SPEAKER_01: The money.
0:07
SPEAKER_01: There is no money.
0:08
SPEAKER_01: Uh the women.
0:09
SPEAKER_01: There's definitely no women.
0:12
SPEAKER_01: So the crippling self-doubt.
0:15
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
0:16
SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to Bearded and Crunchy.
0:19
SPEAKER_01: Where somehow, against all available evidence, we made it through our first season.
0:24
SPEAKER_01: And this season has had everything.
0:27
SPEAKER_01: Great music.
0:29
SPEAKER_02: Terrible opinions.
0:30
SPEAKER_02: Questionable decisions.
0:32
SPEAKER_02: Several conversations that probably should have been stopped.
0:36
SPEAKER_01: And at least three ideas that sounded fantastic until we actually started talking.
0:43
SPEAKER_01: Which brings us to today's episode.
0:46
SPEAKER_01: The best of the mess.
0:48
SPEAKER_01: A season of bad ideas and great conversations.
0:52
SPEAKER_02: Basically, we're taking a look back at the season and asking the important questions.
0:57
SPEAKER_02: Like, what the hell were we thinking?
1:00
SPEAKER_02: Why did we say that?
1:02
SPEAKER_02: Oh, and my personal favorite.
1:04
SPEAKER_02: Are we actually getting better at this?
1:06
SPEAKER_02: We are not, Bob.
1:07
SPEAKER_02: Eh, that's good.
1:08
SPEAKER_02: Because I was worried that we'd completely lost the plot.
1:12
SPEAKER_01: So grab a drink, turn it up, and come hang out with us while we revisit the best moments, the dumbest ideas, the arguments, the laughs, and everything in between.
1:24
SPEAKER_01: Because if there's one thing we've learned this season is that we may not know what we're doing, but damn, do we have a good time doing it?
1:34
SPEAKER_01: This is bearded and crunchy.
1:36
SPEAKER_01: The best of the mess.
1:38
SPEAKER_01: Let's make some bad decisions.
1:40
SPEAKER_01: Again.
2:01
SPEAKER_02: From Goodyear Heights to podcast listeners everywhere.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to Bearded and Crunchy.
2:13
SPEAKER_01: Season finale, Bob.
2:15
SPEAKER_02: The best of the mess.
2:19
SPEAKER_01: Indeed.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: Um man, we're here.
2:24
SPEAKER_01: I can't believe it.
2:26
SPEAKER_01: Episode 26.
2:28
SPEAKER_01: Damn, man, 26.
2:29
SPEAKER_01: And that's not even the full amount that we've actually produced.
2:33
SPEAKER_01: Right.
2:33
SPEAKER_01: That's just our main episode.
2:35
SPEAKER_01: So I, you know, it's funny.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: I'm getting I kind of got goosebumps now that we're live and talking about it.
2:41
SPEAKER_01: Like we've we've come a long way.
2:43
SPEAKER_01: A lot, man.
2:44
SPEAKER_01: A lot has happened in what, five months?
2:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:47
SPEAKER_01: Almost six months.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: By the time this comes out, it'll be six months.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: Um man, what a ride.
2:55
SPEAKER_01: Uh, and and I'm I'm gonna start this first off by thanking each and every one of you that download.
3:01
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
3:01
SPEAKER_01: Even if you just downloaded one episode, thank you.
3:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but to the people that continuously just come back for more, we thank you so much because we pay attention to that.
3:13
SPEAKER_01: Um anything you want to just kind of start with real quick before we hop into to the to the to the question.
3:21
SPEAKER_01: The question?
3:22
SPEAKER_02: Man, I I'm just uh blown away that it's done what it's done.
3:29
SPEAKER_02: It's I I was not expecting it to do what it's done.
3:33
unknown: Yeah.
3:34
SPEAKER_02: And you know, for being literally, we are an indie podcast.
3:37
SPEAKER_02: We don't have a big production team, it's just us.
3:39
SPEAKER_02: It's literally just us.
3:41
SPEAKER_02: It's me and you.
3:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we don't have a big company sponsoring us or or doing anything, it's just us.
3:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and that's I think that's what makes it more fun because we're coming up with all this stuff and we're the ones producing it, you're the one editing.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: It sounds authentic.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: Like there's no fakeness to anything that we do.
3:59
SPEAKER_01: So and I and I think that that I I think that is what's gonna continue our success and and to continue to grow.
4:09
SPEAKER_01: Uh, is that we're just you know, we we say it all the time, we don't know what we're doing, but like, you know, our opening, but we have a great time doing it.
4:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and that's because we do we just want to give you guys us.
4:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
4:21
SPEAKER_01: Like we don't want to prim and proper it and dress it up all nice.
4:26
SPEAKER_01: We just want you to have us.
4:27
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
4:28
SPEAKER_02: I think that's what makes the show tick, is is our just our friendship and the way we are with each other.
4:35
SPEAKER_01: I was actually getting ready to say that.
4:36
SPEAKER_01: I was like, the the the way we outline our season and our episodes, I think is great, and I think people like that, but I think most people come here because it's it's a bunch of kids sitting at the tables in the cafeteria surrounding that one table listening to them dudes talk.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's what it is.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I think people like that, they can just sit and listen.
4:57
SPEAKER_01: That's why a lot of people put it on when they're cleaning their house or they're they're doing laundry or whatever, because they can just kind of listen and then they kind of chime in as they're walking, like, oh shit, I forgot that song, or oh yeah, that really annoys me too.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: Or I oh man, I remember that.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so yeah, it's it's it's been fun, and and we've had a couple of people comment on a couple of our videos, and and there's a couple people, but again, guys, we say this all the time.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: Please start interacting with us and please don't feel shy.
5:27
SPEAKER_01: Don't don't we're putting ourselves out here.
5:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, uh, tell us your favorite songs, tell us our you know, whatever episode it is.
5:35
SPEAKER_01: If it's the go back to our annoying episode, tell us what annoys you, you know.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: That was yeah, we had to do some research and go back and listen to some episodes and yeah, try to do homework for this.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: And I and I went back and you know, as as painstaking as it was, because I absolutely hate listening to myself.
5:53
SPEAKER_01: Me too.
5:54
SPEAKER_01: It was fun.
5:55
SPEAKER_01: It was fun, it was a lot of fun.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: So I agree.
5:59
SPEAKER_01: Uh, with all that being said, we got a lot to get to.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: So uh let's get to that opening question, Bob.
6:05
SPEAKER_02: Let's see if I hit the right button here.
6:12
SPEAKER_02: Boom.
6:15
SPEAKER_02: Yes, I love this so much.
6:16
SPEAKER_02: I'm so glad I figured all this out.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: This is a specific question for us.
6:22
SPEAKER_02: I kinda I kinda thought it would be, so it's it's I didn't write it down into my phone on my notes.
6:28
SPEAKER_02: Hello.
6:29
SPEAKER_02: Um This is this is uh this is a personal thing.
6:34
SPEAKER_02: Uh we might have the same, might have different answers.
6:37
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
6:38
SPEAKER_02: If we could go back to the day before we recorded the first episode, which was the Star Wars episode, go back and listen.
6:46
SPEAKER_02: 101 downloads of the episode.
6:47
SPEAKER_02: 101 downloads, guys, this are number one.
6:51
SPEAKER_02: So if we could go back to the day before we recorded the first episode, knowing what we know now, would we still hit record?
7:01
SPEAKER_01: I I don't even think that's that's the easiest question you've asked.
7:05
SPEAKER_01: Of course we would.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: I actually think that it is a it's an easy answer, but it's a hard answer to explain.
7:15
SPEAKER_01: Um absolutely we would have hit record.
7:17
SPEAKER_01: Um even with the having to go get a laptop, the running out of storage, everything we've ran into.
7:24
SPEAKER_01: All the pitfalls.
7:25
SPEAKER_01: I absolutely.
7:26
SPEAKER_01: And the reason why I say that is because now that that we've come back or or that we've we've gone for full circle, first at first season done, um I I think we could have I I think it would have accelerated the listener account.
7:44
SPEAKER_01: That's what I think.
7:45
SPEAKER_01: I think um I I think not only would we oppress record, but we'd have probably done it a little faster because we now even though we still don't know what we're doing, we still have a better idea of how to go about not knowing what we're doing.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: Fact.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: But what what what would what would be your answer?
8:06
SPEAKER_01: Would do do do you agree or disagree, or do you agree and your points are just different?
8:13
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna agree with you, man.
8:15
SPEAKER_01: I'd still hit fucking record on that.
8:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it it's it it always just comes down to us being able to hang out and it's it's us bullshitting and trying to think of how to really describe it all.
8:36
SPEAKER_02: It it's just it's a lot of work for us, but it's it's literally a a labor of love because we just we enjoy doing all of this.
8:46
SPEAKER_02: You know, I hate writing, bro.
8:48
SPEAKER_02: I'm writing all the time every week when we're doing episodes.
8:51
SPEAKER_01: Editing is the absolute worst fucking thing you could do, yeah, and I hate doing it.
8:56
SPEAKER_01: The moment I get that final cut done, I'm like, yeah, I did it again.
9:01
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, it's definitely I it's rewarding too in that sense.
9:04
SPEAKER_02: I mean, obviously we're not making money at it right now.
9:07
SPEAKER_02: Eventually we will, yeah, but I don't care about that.
9:11
SPEAKER_02: It's you know, we get to sit here and bullshit, we get to have fun and laugh, we get to think of topics that we want to talk about.
9:22
SPEAKER_02: Because, you know, we're not pigeonholed into you know a music niche or you know, 80s, 90s nostalgia niche.
9:30
SPEAKER_02: We kind of touch it all.
9:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
9:32
SPEAKER_02: And I'm fine with doing that.
9:34
SPEAKER_02: Uh you know, everything says don't do that.
9:36
SPEAKER_02: I want to do that because that's how I feel.
9:39
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to talk one thing specifically all of the time.
9:43
SPEAKER_02: That would be boring to me.
9:44
SPEAKER_01: Well, and and not only that, ju j just because something works doesn't mean it can't be improved.
9:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
9:52
SPEAKER_01: And I understand what the the standard path and the standard way to develop a podcast is, and we follow that to a certain extent, right?
10:02
SPEAKER_01: But there's just certain things that we do that we feel we do well that aren't considered normal for a podcast, and we're not gonna change just because they think now, if we hear suggestions from people and we're like, yeah, we could probably improve, but there are some things that aren't normal for podcasts that we like doing, and it's our own thing, but that's how you change the way things are done, you know.
10:26
SPEAKER_01: It it's just like our our decades episodes where we talked about how the music consistently changed, but it was still music, exactly.
10:35
SPEAKER_01: That's the same thing with us.
10:36
SPEAKER_01: It's like we're still doing a podcast, we're just not doing it the way everybody else wants to follow this fucking, you know, scripted way to produce a performance.
10:45
SPEAKER_02: That's not how we do shit.
10:47
SPEAKER_02: I think it's funny you you mentioned the the decade music decades episodes.
10:52
SPEAKER_02: The way we've constructed those after going back and listening and doing all the research and listening to past episodes for this episode, we left ourselves wide open to be able to go back and revisit that stuff and expand on certain aspects of those decades.
11:08
SPEAKER_01: We we we did those episodes so well that like you said, like it could become like Yeah, yeah.
11:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm I'm agreeing, but I was trying to think of other words to add, but yeah.
11:23
SPEAKER_02: You could literally go into the British invasion from the 60s, you could go into different forms of arena rock in the 70s, you could go into anything pertaining to Michael Jackson in the even though we spent a half an hour in that episode on Michael Jackson.
11:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I it we could expand even more on him and Prince and Well we only touched on Michael in the 80s.
11:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
11:48
SPEAKER_01: We didn't talk about the Jackson 5, we didn't talk about off the wall, nope.
11:52
SPEAKER_01: And then he still had History and Dangerous and all these other albums in the 90s.
11:56
SPEAKER_01: Is that what we left ourselves open to be able to do that?
12:00
SPEAKER_01: And I think that's where we we I think that's why our decades are some of our best, because some of the artists we mentioned may have not started or may have not gotten their launch, or it may have just been their biggest time.
12:13
SPEAKER_01: Right, but we didn't delve into everything else, so we didn't lump it together to allow us to elaborate in a future.
12:20
SPEAKER_01: So there's you are at that's a great assessment, and you're absolutely right.
12:23
SPEAKER_01: There's a method to the mess.
12:24
SPEAKER_01: Oh, there always is a method to the mess?
12:28
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, we could write our own fucking way to build a podcast, that's what we can call it.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, right.
12:35
SPEAKER_01: Um, but yes, so you know, from that uh should we get right into it?
12:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and we've kind of touched on it a little bit in other episodes, but um so I guess we'll we'll go into our uh the best damn conversations, our two favorite conversations, and I'll let you uh give me one of one of yours first.
13:02
SPEAKER_01: What was one of your and and I think we we did this episode-wise, like it was yeah, kind of broke down like what was our favorite one, so I'll I'll let you give me your your first one.
13:13
SPEAKER_02: My first one is from I Have a Question.
13:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:15
SPEAKER_02: I think a lot of our conversation from that episode was is was really good.
13:20
SPEAKER_02: Strangely enough, it it didn't do that well number wise, which I don't understand, but it was almost like we were well, that was the premise of it.
13:28
SPEAKER_02: We interviewed each other, essentially.
13:31
SPEAKER_01: I I think that episode was better for us than it was for our audience.
13:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because we were about to ask questions of things we wanted to know, right, and things that we thought that the that we knew about each other that we thought the audience should know about each other.
13:44
SPEAKER_01: So uh I I I don't disagree with that.
13:48
SPEAKER_01: Um I mean, what like was there like something specific in there, or is it just the vibe of the entire It was the vibe of the entire episode because there was a lot of questions that I asked of you that I didn't know, and some of them were pretty pretty deep questions that I thought, you know, long and hard about.
14:12
SPEAKER_02: And uh no, I just enjoyed that.
14:14
SPEAKER_02: That was a that was the that was one of the first ones what that we were doing that I was like, man, this is really starting to come together.
14:22
SPEAKER_02: This is starting to really feel like a legit podcast.
14:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
14:27
SPEAKER_01: I I I I can't dis I can't disagree with that.
14:31
SPEAKER_01: With that being said, um What's your first one?
14:34
SPEAKER_01: I I I've told you this multiple times and it it still hasn't changed, and it's the grief episode for me.
14:40
SPEAKER_01: I know it's heavier than most people would like.
14:43
SPEAKER_01: Early, and and it was very early, but it was Yeah, episode five.
14:47
SPEAKER_01: Yes, it was episode five.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: It feels like months ago.
14:51
SPEAKER_01: It was I I think the way I I did it is because we're a funny podcast.
14:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're a s we're we're uh we don't take ourselves too serious, right?
15:02
SPEAKER_01: Um, we're passionate, and this I think was a way to tell people like, oh, but they're still human.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, and and I I love that episode too because we didn't strictly leave it to just the death necessarily of a certain family member, yeah, but also the loss of relationships or pets and stuff, and we really went into that.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: And for me, as somebody who, and I've said this many a times, didn't always have a good outlet to allow the bad things out and talk about the things that bothered me and talk about losing people in grief and and and dealing with the hard part of life.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: Um I remember walking away from that episode feeling the most fulfilled.
15:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I agree.
15:49
SPEAKER_02: That was a good episode.
15:50
SPEAKER_02: It's one of my favorites.
15:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I enjoyed that because we we got to talk about a lot of sadhead stuff.
15:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm getting chills.
16:00
SPEAKER_02: I would like to hear what that would sound like a season and a half or two seasons from now.
16:06
SPEAKER_02: I knowing what we know now.
16:08
SPEAKER_01: I figure I figure there will come a time, and I would and we'll we'll do it on air because that's what we do.
16:17
SPEAKER_01: I was thinking about this and I hadn't brought it up to you.
16:19
SPEAKER_01: I think a part two could be instead of grief, just dealing with mental health.
16:25
SPEAKER_01: It could be like, because we've done the grief, you know, maybe maybe like season four, five we can revisit.
16:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I think we could do like you know, like say grief part two, you know, anxiety, depression, or mental health, or whatever.
16:38
SPEAKER_01: I'm just throwing that out there off top of my head.
16:41
SPEAKER_01: But I do think it's something that we should continuously revisit just because much like my coughing.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, your life can change tomorrow.
16:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, and and we got family members that are older, we've got friends that a lot can happen.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: Um, so I definitely think we should revisit it.
17:05
SPEAKER_01: But that that was that was I mean, we we I mean, me and you have talked about this many a times.
17:10
SPEAKER_01: It's been my favorite episode, but again, it was because I felt like I was in a therapy session and you were my therapist.
17:17
SPEAKER_01: No, I mean seriously, we had fun with it.
17:18
SPEAKER_01: It felt good, yeah.
17:20
SPEAKER_01: Um but what was what was your number two?
17:22
SPEAKER_02: It's a newer episode, too.
17:25
SPEAKER_02: And you you I don't think you're gonna think about it, but I I went with sectioned off a segmented look.
17:30
SPEAKER_01: I so that was one that I wanted to go to, and I never got around to it.
17:35
SPEAKER_01: So that's I'm kind of glad.
17:37
SPEAKER_02: That's actually very, very good.
17:39
SPEAKER_02: And that was one of those ones where we were like, what are we gonna do?
17:42
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:42
SPEAKER_02: And we decided on that, and then we're recording it, and it was like, eh, okay.
17:47
SPEAKER_01: And then you go back and listen to it, it's like, damn, that's actually really good.
17:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm I'm gonna have to.
17:51
SPEAKER_01: That's that was one of the ones I didn't.
17:53
SPEAKER_01: It was on, I actually made a little list of my sticky notes at work of episodes I knew I wanted to get to, and I I just ran out of time.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: I just ran out of time.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I you know, again, you know, up to this point, 25 episodes, that's a lot to go through in a week when yeah when it's not your full-time week.
18:14
SPEAKER_01: Right.
18:14
SPEAKER_01: So um, but I I don't disagree.
18:16
SPEAKER_01: I I still have a few memories of that episode, and right it definitely was a good episode, and I think that's probably why I didn't go back, is because I kind of thought, like, I was like, all right, I remember this, this, and this about it.
18:29
SPEAKER_01: I can push that down the list so I can get a little more um back comfortable with some of the other episodes.
18:36
SPEAKER_01: But no, that's that's that's a valid one.
18:39
SPEAKER_01: Um I'm actually gonna go with Inside the Spins.
18:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm going two serious episodes, okay, and that's just because like people know us for the funny, for the, you know, these guys are trying to make us laugh, they have really good conversations, but I think very often people like that their emotional, their their their psychological health tends to get pushed to the side because they're like, oh, well, they're always smiling and funny and happy.
19:10
SPEAKER_01: And it's like, no.
19:12
SPEAKER_01: Not all the time.
19:13
SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, we're not.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: Um, so inside the spin cycle, um, it was it was a way for us to talk about something that that greatly impacts our lives.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: And and again, uh just the conversations that we had and and and figuring out right.
19:34
SPEAKER_01: I mean, we knew this ahead of time, but uh again, a lot of the stuff we talk about, we know about each other and stuff.
19:40
SPEAKER_01: But when you're in this type of form and you're talking about it, right, it tends to just feel it feels different.
19:50
SPEAKER_01: And and and I don't know, it just those were the two um that that really stuck out to me, especially after going back and listening.
19:58
SPEAKER_01: That I just I felt like I accomplished something.
20:02
SPEAKER_02: I guess that's the the best way to I almost went with that too, because that and for me, much like the grief episode, that one's hard to listen to.
20:11
SPEAKER_02: It is, it is because dealing with vertigo, man, it and I've I've had some bouts with it here in the last month.
20:19
SPEAKER_02: Not full on, thank thankfully.
20:20
SPEAKER_02: No, yeah.
20:21
SPEAKER_02: A lot doing with my sinuses being clogged, my ear being messed up from it, pressure.
20:26
SPEAKER_02: A little bit different than what I dealt with last year, thank just thankfully, thank God, like just that was rough.
20:33
SPEAKER_02: It's just hard to to listen to it because it's like, man, I remember all of that, and it just comes back.
20:39
SPEAKER_02: You have to revisit it, yeah.
20:40
SPEAKER_02: And then the anxiety creeps up because you're like, oh man, I remember what that's like.
20:44
SPEAKER_02: I hope that doesn't happen again.
20:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and same kind of goes for me because you know I've gotten them steroid injections and I haven't had any symptoms in three weeks now.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: That's amazing.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: I I I feel like a new person.
20:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: Um thankfully that might be an episode we may not have to revisit.
20:59
SPEAKER_01: God, I hope so.
21:00
SPEAKER_01: Uh, and unfortunately for you guys, uh it sucks, but for us that's a good thing.
21:05
SPEAKER_01: That means we we check something off the list.
21:08
SPEAKER_01: Hooray.
21:09
SPEAKER_01: All right.
21:11
SPEAKER_01: Next topic.
21:12
SPEAKER_02: This one, I'll let you tell the topic, but yeah, it's uh Ooh, the it was gonna be initially uh the when we lost the plot, but I kind of we we talked from it's more when we strayed.
21:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
21:25
SPEAKER_02: We never really lost the plot in an episode, I don't think.
21:29
SPEAKER_02: We strayed.
21:31
SPEAKER_01: There was one that we came close, yeah, but but we never we never truly lost the plot in anything.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: But there was one at least from from my recognition and going back and listening.
21:42
SPEAKER_01: But um, I I'll throw mine out there since you asked the question.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: But it it it's a recent one too, and it it's bearded and aging gracefully.
21:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we were I listened to the whole episode.
21:52
SPEAKER_01: I'm not kidding you.
21:52
SPEAKER_01: There's a 20-minute section where all we talk about is the podcast.
21:56
SPEAKER_01: Oh wow.
21:57
SPEAKER_01: Like that's definitely strange system.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: Like talking about what we wanted.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: Like it it it it it went off for a second.
22:05
SPEAKER_01: Went off the rails.
22:06
SPEAKER_01: We came, we came back.
22:08
SPEAKER_01: But it if you guys go listen, you'll see there's a whole section where we just stopped talking about beard.
22:14
SPEAKER_01: I mean, like I said, we we we reel it back in and we find a way to do it.
22:19
SPEAKER_01: But from from me listening to that one, I was like, holy shit, we went we went off the rails.
22:27
SPEAKER_01: Uh so so for me, it it it was it was that episode.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: I mean, the more I thought at first this was a hard question, yeah, but the more I was listening, I'm like, there's there's a couple of times, not very long, but in a lot of these episodes where we started to, but we kind of caught it.
22:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we reeled it back in pretty quick.
22:46
SPEAKER_01: That one we we just we let it all go.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: But what what's what's your what's your answer for that?
22:52
SPEAKER_02: Uh mine was also a little bit more recently.
22:54
SPEAKER_02: Uh we did uh the Cantina Chronicles.
22:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
22:58
SPEAKER_02: And we were talking about the Star Wars video games, and we went off the rails a little bit talking about Assassin's Creed Black Flag.
23:08
SPEAKER_02: Every video game you could think of except for Star Wars.
23:13
SPEAKER_01: And it was like, okay.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
23:15
SPEAKER_01: I forgot about that.
23:16
SPEAKER_01: I see, I I listened to the first episode again, but I didn't go back to the Cantina Chronicles because it was fresher.
23:22
SPEAKER_01: I was wrong, but I thought I was like, I remember that, and I completely forgot that part, but as soon as you met it, I'm like, damn, we did go off for like five minutes talking about so yeah.
23:31
SPEAKER_02: I laughed when I listened to it the other day.
23:33
SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh yeah, we did do that.
23:34
SPEAKER_02: Well, hey, we were talking video games, and it it just went.
23:38
SPEAKER_02: It just there's our brains are the the size of a squirrel's, yeah.
23:43
SPEAKER_02: So it it was like a penny on the railroad track.
23:45
SPEAKER_01: But I mean, really, in in in going back and listening to the episodes I did, and you can attest to this.
23:51
SPEAKER_01: There's m times in almost every episode we start to go there.
23:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we do.
23:56
SPEAKER_01: We do.
23:56
SPEAKER_01: Um, but there's only a few where we actually kind of just threw the mask off and said, fuck it, we'll just run with it.
24:03
SPEAKER_01: Right.
24:04
SPEAKER_01: Uh the this next one's gonna be uh this is a good one.
24:09
SPEAKER_01: I I thought this was a good one, but the shit that we didn't expect.
24:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
24:13
SPEAKER_01: Um what what what surprised you uh about recording?
24:20
SPEAKER_02: What surprised me about recording, honestly, is the ease of which we can record.
24:28
SPEAKER_02: And you know, back in the day when I was doing music, you had to go out and you had to buy something to set up with, like a a computer.
24:36
SPEAKER_02: You most of the time you had to buy a card or a box, or I have an Mbox from uh my Pro Tool set up from years ago.
24:44
SPEAKER_02: Um this a lot more simple, a lot more simplified, a little more stripped down.
24:50
SPEAKER_02: You know, we have our card over here, our input-output, mics, headphones, runs to the computer, we'd run Audacity, which Audacity has been great.
25:01
SPEAKER_02: It just makes it simple, honest man.
25:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I the one thing that I I I guess to answer that first part of that question, um what surprised me about recording was how often these programs fuck up.
25:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's the one thing.
25:19
SPEAKER_01: Like, I mean just had it happen before we that's my point.
25:23
SPEAKER_01: Like, it's like you know, between you know fucking Cap Cut randomly not allowing over.
25:31
SPEAKER_01: Remember, I was I was producing whole videos and then just one day it updated and I could only do 15 minutes.
25:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and you had to go to the and I had to go fucking buy the version, you know, which wasn't cheap.
25:41
SPEAKER_01: And then again, like you said, an audacity, like what happened to us in the beginning of of today's episode, it just froze.
25:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it just froze up.
25:48
SPEAKER_01: And and there's times when the audio playback just flips to whatever the fuck it wants to, and I I think that was the part that like I figured technology got us to where we are.
25:58
SPEAKER_01: Um, it it still sucks sometimes.
26:00
SPEAKER_01: So nice, exactly.
26:02
SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, well, so what about the episodes that we needed to do a little bit more research on?
26:08
SPEAKER_02: How did you feel about that?
26:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, I those were fun, but what I wrote down, you're gonna laugh okay probably out loud.
26:15
SPEAKER_01: But you know what I found out about doing the research is how often I can be wrong at something but be so confident in being wrong.
26:23
SPEAKER_01: You gotta remember I do the editing.
26:25
SPEAKER_01: So there's so many things I'm on the right topic, but somehow I'm just I don't quite get there.
26:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
26:31
SPEAKER_01: Uh there's so many times I gotta write wrong in the fucking video and put up the the the correct thing.
26:38
SPEAKER_01: So dumbass.
26:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I think that that's what I learned is that my memory tends to rem so it's a known fact that like when you remember uh an actual event that happened, when you remember it, you're not remembering that event, you're remembering the last time you remembered it.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: Right.
26:58
SPEAKER_01: So eventually it fades, yeah, it fades muddy, it gets cloudy.
27:03
SPEAKER_01: Um, so I I just think you know, and and we'll just fucking throw out whatever comes to our head.
27:10
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I'll say some shit.
27:13
SPEAKER_01: But what about you?
27:14
SPEAKER_01: Like, what about you know, researching, coming up with the topics and I'm gonna tell you what I didn't expect with research was learning more than I uh thought I would.
27:25
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you thought you knew more than you did.
27:27
SPEAKER_01: No, not at all.
27:28
SPEAKER_01: Learning learning more.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: No, that's what I'm saying.
27:31
SPEAKER_01: You thought that you already knew more than you actually knew.
27:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:36
SPEAKER_02: And actually, you know, getting the actual pinpointed facts and figures on some of that stuff.
27:41
SPEAKER_02: It's like, well, I didn't I didn't know that.
27:43
SPEAKER_02: And honestly, with your research, when we're doing this stuff recording live, it's like, I didn't know that.
27:49
SPEAKER_01: Perfect example, 2000s episode.
27:52
SPEAKER_01: Super producers.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
27:54
SPEAKER_01: You were like, I didn't even think to and it was a big deal in the 2000s.
27:58
SPEAKER_01: And and and there's and that's why I like you coming up with the synopsis because you you tend to really go in depth, and there's there's information in there that I go, oh shit, I didn't I didn't know.
28:08
SPEAKER_01: I didn't know that.
28:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
28:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, and and I think that's the one good thing.
28:11
SPEAKER_01: I think if both of us were metal fans or both of us were rap fans, it would be a little less interesting.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:17
SPEAKER_01: But the fact that we come from so even though they mesh well together, they're so different.
28:21
SPEAKER_01: It's yin and that's exactly what they fit together, but they're completely different.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: And I think learning that shit about Daniel Sun, same but different.
28:29
SPEAKER_01: Ah, same but different.
28:31
SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, um, and and one thing before, you know, we move on to the next.
28:40
SPEAKER_01: I I did want to bring this up, but it didn't fit specifically.
28:43
SPEAKER_01: But um I I didn't expect the consistent listeners.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: Like I knew we would have like you know, your sister, your daughter.
28:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but we got people across the country in Oregon and fucking India that love us.
28:57
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: So uh like I wasn't expecting that Chicago.
29:01
SPEAKER_01: Shout out Chicago uh Virginia had up to like six or seven at one point.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: I mean, so I I guess I wasn't ready for that.
29:08
SPEAKER_01: Um I guess I wanted it, you know.
29:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's cool though, man.
29:11
SPEAKER_01: Oh very cool.
29:13
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I um I I was really surprised at at how that you know that happened as fast as it did.
29:21
SPEAKER_02: So what about coming up with the topics?
29:24
SPEAKER_02: Like what surprised you about coming up with the topic in the early we've kind of changed a little bit now as we've moved on in the season, but early on, you know, what was kind of like with with our topics, how we came up with them, and what surprised you?
29:39
SPEAKER_02: Was it easy?
29:40
SPEAKER_02: Was it difficult?
29:42
SPEAKER_02: Uh did it take more time to flush some of this stuff out?
29:47
SPEAKER_02: Um so that's a loaded question.
29:55
SPEAKER_01: That's okay.
29:55
SPEAKER_01: It's a good qu I mean it that's okay.
29:57
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I I have some stuff wrote down, but I I I I liked that format because it it it made it easier for us to pinpoint what we wanted to drive to.
30:13
SPEAKER_01: But I will say this, it did feel more rehearsed, and I didn't like that.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: Um I'm not gonna go into detail about that because I have that for a different part of this episode, so I'm not gonna go too.
30:28
SPEAKER_01: But I think learning like listening to those over those those earlier episodes and and and thinking of and and and then going to some mid ones and then to end ones.
30:41
SPEAKER_01: I I think the way we got towards the end with the decades and the episodes we did a little bit before and a little bit after, that I think we found that uh we don't have to like the research may have to go take a little bit longer, but it but it allows the episodes to be more fluid, I guess.
31:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, to breathe.
31:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
31:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
31:05
SPEAKER_02: But but what about you when it comes to you know, the topics and you know, honest to God, when we first started, when we were doing our topics, man, we were just having fun with it.
31:16
SPEAKER_02: We were having fun with titles, we were having fun with descriptions, and then you start doing a little bit of research into podcasting and you go, ooh, we need to be a little bit more descriptive here, a little bit more descriptive here.
31:28
SPEAKER_02: Give them a reason why, how, what, when, where.
31:32
SPEAKER_02: We're not an education podcast.
31:34
SPEAKER_02: You know, we're you know, leisure, fun, comedy, sports, music, improvisational to a certain extent.
31:42
SPEAKER_02: But I I think how we've gone towards the end, where we're doing a little bit more research into what we want to talk about, our topics-wise, we're throwing a little bit of AI in there to help flush that out, the ideas out.
31:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
31:58
SPEAKER_01: Not what we're gonna say, but sometimes not relying on it.
32:01
SPEAKER_01: No, no, no.
32:02
SPEAKER_01: It's more so like this is the topic we want, how should we break this down?
32:06
SPEAKER_01: It's something like that.
32:07
SPEAKER_02: It's just to flush it out because we're, you know, in my opinion, I and the way I feel, I'm getting older.
32:14
SPEAKER_02: I don't I also don't have time to sit here and flush all this out.
32:17
SPEAKER_02: If I had three weeks to flush an idea out, great.
32:20
SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, we could sit down, yeah.
32:23
SPEAKER_02: Right.
32:23
SPEAKER_02: But I don't.
32:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
32:24
SPEAKER_01: It's not like we have team meetings to discuss what the fuck we're gonna.
32:28
SPEAKER_02: There's some times where during the day we're like, hey man, you doing good?
32:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm doing good.
32:31
SPEAKER_02: How about you?
32:32
SPEAKER_02: Good?
32:32
SPEAKER_02: Alright, cool.
32:32
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
32:33
SPEAKER_02: Talk to you tomorrow.
32:34
SPEAKER_01: Or talk to you later today.
32:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's that's more closely.
32:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:38
SPEAKER_02: So a lot it's just yeah.
32:41
SPEAKER_02: I think the topics that we're coming that we came up with towards the middle end of season one, I loved it all.
32:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:50
SPEAKER_02: I like the beginning stuff.
32:51
SPEAKER_02: Don't get me wrong.
32:53
SPEAKER_01: Again, we'll we'll delve a little bit into that into another part of this, but I agree wholeheartedly with with uh with what you said.
33:01
SPEAKER_01: So uh so I guess what about I mean first episode versus now.
33:09
SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
33:10
SPEAKER_01: What are what are your I mean that's this is this is a question that could really this is what we thought the show would be.
33:18
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
33:19
SPEAKER_02: And then what it actually became.
33:21
SPEAKER_02: And uh what I thought the show would be was from us originally recording back in twenty-one, twenty twenty-one.
33:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we yep.
33:30
SPEAKER_02: Somewhere near the original stuff we did that may get clipped up one of these days.
33:36
SPEAKER_02: But I I thought it was gonna be more that just us kind of shooting the shit about work and you know, life, and and essentially, I guess looking back on it, that's kind of what it's it it kind of was.
33:47
SPEAKER_01: That what we wanted the the the the whole podcast to be in that is what became the bull sessions.
33:54
SPEAKER_01: Bull sessions, exactly, and that's what allowed us to step outside of what we do.
33:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
34:00
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, it it what I thought would be us bullshitting, we that became the bull sessions, and I think what it's actually become, and I wrote it down as it was my thought at the time, it's a bona fide indie podcast.
34:16
SPEAKER_02: And it's just us doing all the work for free.
34:19
SPEAKER_02: So we're doing it because we want to do it.
34:22
SPEAKER_02: And it's been fun.
34:23
SPEAKER_01: So um I I I I think um so for me, the one thing that I've noticed is that we are both very more cognizant of how we're we're less focused on trying to get our thoughts out and trying to allow the other person to get their thought out and then and then continuing the dialogue from that rather than wanting to just get our opinion or our point across.
35:04
SPEAKER_01: Right.
35:04
SPEAKER_01: And when I say that, that was definitely more me than you.
35:08
SPEAKER_01: But that's one thing that I noticed is that I started to get to a point.
35:11
SPEAKER_01: And and I want people to know, like, I don't do that kind of thing.
35:14
SPEAKER_01: Like, I never cut you off because like I think what you're saying, I do it because I forget.
35:18
SPEAKER_01: And when I get these ideas, well, that too, my left ear just what the fuck.
35:23
SPEAKER_01: But so I don't do it for any other reason than I just don't want to like I want to keep the conversation going and I don't want to forget.
35:31
SPEAKER_01: But the the the one thing, and this is what I was talking about with the last one, is the the list, like we started out wanting to do lists, and oh my god, be stoop doing like topic or and we but remember, even as that we kept saying we don't want to be topic oriented, but the the list became the life well, and then we realized okay, we can't do that, yeah.
35:53
SPEAKER_01: And then it was the same, we didn't really want to be topic-oriented, but we ended up becoming topic-oriented, and when I say that, I don't mean like we're pigeonholed into it, but we decided to take like again early on, we were trying to turn the main episodes into what we turned into the bull sessions, right?
36:10
SPEAKER_01: But we realized that wasn't going to work, so we went to topic-oriented, but we didn't do it to today.
36:18
SPEAKER_01: We're talking about Keebler elves, or today we're talking about Domino's pepperoni pizza.
36:24
SPEAKER_01: We just said, hey, today's gonna be inside the spin cycle.
36:28
SPEAKER_01: We're talking about BPV or and what entails with it, right?
36:32
SPEAKER_01: Bearded and aging gracefully.
36:34
SPEAKER_01: That could be a million fucking things.
36:36
SPEAKER_01: So we went topic, but we did it to where it was so generalized that it didn't pigeonhole us.
36:42
SPEAKER_01: But those were the two things that I took, especially from doing editing and and making the clips and stuff, is is that my first point was the one thing that I noticed was us allowing the other one, more so me, to get their point across before I felt like I needed to put you know my opinion in it.
37:02
SPEAKER_01: But the the one thing that that that I was glad that we got away from was the list.
37:07
SPEAKER_01: And that and that was my idea.
37:09
SPEAKER_01: Because it it just seemed that at the time everything I seen on TikTok and interesting was those were the clips that the people were putting from their pockets.
37:18
SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, well, that's what works for them, that's what we should do.
37:21
SPEAKER_01: And and then we started to realize that we're not them.
37:24
SPEAKER_02: But I think where we we kind of failed with it is the whole episode would become a list of lists.
37:33
SPEAKER_02: And it was like, okay, this is getting kind of boring for me because we're not having it it it literally switched from uh genuine conversation to okay, what's your list look like?
37:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:47
SPEAKER_02: You know, and it was like, I'm not saying that I wouldn't want to I wouldn't want to do an episode of lists.
37:54
SPEAKER_02: I would just to piss people off.
37:58
SPEAKER_01: Uh no, you know, you're you're you it got to a point where it took away from the dialogue of it, which is what made our podcast or what we still believe, and from different outlets we've used to get feedback, has said that's what makes us so good.
38:17
SPEAKER_01: So we we wanted to stick with that, and and again, it was one of my terrible ideas.
38:23
SPEAKER_01: But you know, but it introducing uh the topics the way we did our three favorite topics, it worked.
38:30
SPEAKER_02: Sometimes though, I still feel and I said this when we started deviating away from the lists, there's uh certain things you can't avoid uh doing a list for.
38:41
SPEAKER_02: You have to.
38:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's it's almost impossible for certain subjects.
38:46
SPEAKER_02: I'm not talking that I'm gonna do a 60-minute podcast episode about listing lists.
38:50
SPEAKER_02: I mean that No, and and I will say this.
38:55
SPEAKER_01: I like lists.
38:56
SPEAKER_01: Thankfully, we didn't out of all three of those episodes, and even going into game on and TV and the movies uh or or watch this.
39:08
SPEAKER_01: Somewhat unavoidable.
39:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, but I I still think in being saying that I you know it wasn't the greatest idea to mold the episode into that.
39:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
39:20
SPEAKER_01: We still made the best of it and had the dialogue in between, right?
39:25
SPEAKER_01: But I still think we missed out on a lot of good banter and dialogue between us because it's like, okay, it's my turn, now your turn.
39:34
SPEAKER_01: My turn, now your turn.
39:35
SPEAKER_01: Or give me your five, I'll give you.
39:37
SPEAKER_01: See, either way you do it, it loses the plot.
39:40
SPEAKER_01: Like, especially if we do, I give you my five list.
39:42
SPEAKER_01: If three of mine are yours, yeah, you can't on the well, you can't on the fly.
39:47
SPEAKER_01: Like, because there I will, I'll admit something.
39:49
SPEAKER_01: You guys don't know this, and you may not.
39:51
SPEAKER_01: We can go back and listen to that episode, and you can look at my notes.
39:54
SPEAKER_01: There was times we did list, and you would have one, and in real time, I'm crossing it out.
39:58
SPEAKER_01: Like, I have something else I can throw in here to make it interesting.
40:01
SPEAKER_01: I did the same.
40:02
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, you know what?
40:05
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go.
40:07
SPEAKER_01: You know what I think um I I've learned the most is that we've learned a lot.
40:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
40:15
SPEAKER_01: We we've learned how to construct a podcast, how to produce a podcast, and how to continually try to be better.
40:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're always striving to be better.
40:26
SPEAKER_02: Oh, absolutely.
40:27
SPEAKER_02: I really think that, and that's the thing that's been the most fun is you know, we're learning early on because we didn't know what the hell we were doing when we were.
40:35
SPEAKER_01: Dude, we were YouTubing and like we were watching the videos that Buzz Sprout were fucking giving us to try to figure out what the fuck we were doing.
40:44
SPEAKER_01: And and I actually think we've done a fucking hell of a job.
40:47
SPEAKER_01: I do too.
40:48
SPEAKER_01: You know, no, we're not the best podcast in the world, but you know what?
40:52
SPEAKER_01: I know we're not the worst neither.
40:53
SPEAKER_01: So you can eat a bag of fucking moldy dicks as far as I'm concerned.
40:57
SPEAKER_02: I I think that's uh I think that's where it's become now is that we're actually we we are actually having a bona fide conversation about things and topics instead of in the beginning when it was list oriented.
41:13
SPEAKER_02: And you can see that change when you go into Adult Money Kids Toys, which is what episode nine it is.
41:21
SPEAKER_02: Yes, we're st there were still a little bit of a list on certain things, but it was more of okay, this is my favorite, or these are some of my favorites, and then expanding upon that to where we're having conversation about, oh, I like this toy because of this.
41:36
SPEAKER_01: Well, and and and yeah, and and I think that's a good point.
41:40
SPEAKER_01: That's it, that's that's the way we did it rather.
41:42
SPEAKER_01: And and I like the way we approached it too, because we never said best.
41:45
SPEAKER_01: We said our favorite, yes.
41:47
SPEAKER_01: Because best is subjective.
41:48
SPEAKER_01: You can't best to me will not be best to you.
41:51
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
41:52
SPEAKER_01: But in all of that, you want me to sum that up to what came to mind?
41:57
SPEAKER_01: We're carving out our own lane.
41:59
SPEAKER_01: We are.
41:59
SPEAKER_01: That's exactly what we're doing.
42:01
SPEAKER_01: We're taking what we're getting, we're seeing what works, putting the the guardrails up for that, and then and then paving that road.
42:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
42:07
SPEAKER_01: Which is what we need to do.
42:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I think we're doing a hell of a job.
42:10
SPEAKER_01: I think so too.
42:12
SPEAKER_01: Is it time for the B and C award?
42:14
SPEAKER_02: Oh, we're gonna give them a BNC award.
42:15
SPEAKER_01: Oh, this will be fun.
42:17
SPEAKER_01: This is a list that uh uh this is a listing kind of, but more so just we're giving out awards for what we think was our best worst.
42:29
SPEAKER_01: Best worst favorites, yeah.
42:31
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
42:31
SPEAKER_01: So uh I will let you lead it off.
42:34
SPEAKER_02: Um best dad joke.
42:37
SPEAKER_02: My award is gonna go to from I have a question.
42:42
SPEAKER_02: What's red and bad for your teeth?
42:44
SPEAKER_02: A brick.
42:46
SPEAKER_01: I didn't put that one because I knew you did.
42:49
SPEAKER_02: That was my favorite one of the whole.
42:52
SPEAKER_01: But I think mine is a perfect number two.
42:56
SPEAKER_01: That's a piece of shit.
42:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:00
SPEAKER_01: I didn't even think of that.
43:02
SPEAKER_01: Uh but it's the it's the 80s music episode.
43:06
SPEAKER_01: You rickrolled everybody.
43:08
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, I almost went with that one that was.
43:10
SPEAKER_01: That was the one I was like, I was like, I gotta go with that because it was good.
43:13
SPEAKER_01: Because as you were saying it, you're like, son of the.
43:16
SPEAKER_01: I know because I didn't I didn't pick it up until you said never gonna give up.
43:20
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, motherfucker.
43:23
SPEAKER_01: Like so, yeah, that's true.
43:25
SPEAKER_01: That was the best one.
43:26
SPEAKER_01: I well, I agree.
43:28
SPEAKER_01: The the brick to the teeth.
43:30
SPEAKER_01: That's gonna be I popped you.
43:32
SPEAKER_01: That could be uh an ongoing one for further seasons.
43:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and if we narrow it down, well, we'll do it season to season, but say we get to season five and say, hey, let's go over all of the seasons of four.
43:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's gonna be a contender forever.
43:45
SPEAKER_01: But the the the the 80s one when you when you rick rolled everybody, I was like, I I was laughing when I was listening to that.
43:52
SPEAKER_02: When I when I wrote that one, found that one, wrote it, everything else.
43:57
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, damn, I wish I had just the beginning of that song.
44:00
SPEAKER_02: Like they do in the TikToks.
44:01
SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna tell you guys, I had to edit that.
44:04
SPEAKER_01: I tried so hard to get that clip.
44:09
SPEAKER_01: Now I pay enough for Buzz Sprout and Cap Cut.
44:12
SPEAKER_01: I'm not paying for other I just can't.
44:14
SPEAKER_01: And I couldn't find it for three, but I tried to get a video or I could find an audio clip, but it wouldn't have been the same.
44:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
44:22
SPEAKER_01: I tried to get a video clip that I could put in there, but every time I would I actually had to well I had to not even through like Cap Cut when I would put like when I went to upload the video, um, I actually had to go back and re-edit the video because I was getting strikes on YouTube and it's gonna use it, which I don't understand because I've seen other people use it.
44:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it rather than fight it and try to do all that and get strikes and shit, I said I'll just get it out, and I just took it out.
44:54
SPEAKER_01: But uh here we go.
44:57
SPEAKER_01: Uh I'll start this one off.
44:59
SPEAKER_01: Uh, worst ideas, and I already talked about it.
45:02
SPEAKER_01: It's lists.
45:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
45:03
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I have another one in there as a little backup that I'm I will bring up if it's not yours.
45:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but um, you know, I was so dead set on it.
45:12
SPEAKER_01: I I mean it was it was my baby, and the more we did it as we got to episode three, I hated it.
45:19
SPEAKER_01: Because it just didn't it didn't give us the bearded and crunchy that we were looking for.
45:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it just made us pick our favorites.
45:26
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's cool, that's your favorite, nice.
45:28
SPEAKER_01: What was your next favorite?
45:30
SPEAKER_01: We didn't really get to delve into just why.
45:32
SPEAKER_01: And I think the format, like you said, as we got into game on and all of those, were much, much better.
45:39
SPEAKER_01: But what what what was what was your uh your um your crunchy?
45:44
SPEAKER_01: Remember, we call it we're calling them the crunchies, the crunchies, yeah.
45:46
SPEAKER_02: My my crunchy goes to uh trying to use my laptop to record in the b in the beginning.
45:52
SPEAKER_02: That was the worst fucking idea you could ever have.
45:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but the problem was we couldn't know that till we did the play back.
45:59
SPEAKER_01: So um and and real and and you know, if you really think about it though, I I'm gonna disagree with you, but hear me out before I say that.
46:11
SPEAKER_01: Um, not that it wasn't a bad idea because we didn't have a choice, sure.
46:14
SPEAKER_01: We didn't, but because it led to this, yeah, and it made our podcast better.
46:20
SPEAKER_01: So maybe it was a worse idea, but the fruit that it bared was the best.
46:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I'm gonna give you that.
46:27
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna give you that.
46:28
SPEAKER_01: My second one, and you and you're gonna agree too, was the the adding two guys to mics, all that we went through that.
46:36
SPEAKER_01: That was terrible.
46:37
SPEAKER_01: We rehearsed it and realized it was fucking good there.
46:40
SPEAKER_01: It's a no, it's a great slogan.
46:42
SPEAKER_01: It looks good there, and it's good for people to read and catch it, but it sounds corny when you try to say it 800 different ways.
46:48
SPEAKER_01: So because we're dumb.
46:50
SPEAKER_01: But I'll let you go to the probably both of our are probably gonna be our favorite.
46:57
SPEAKER_02: Funniest moment.
46:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
46:59
SPEAKER_02: The crunchy for me goes to uh honest to God, uh, the dad joke for I have a question.
47:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's our funniest moment.
47:07
SPEAKER_01: We we we both broke hard on that one.
47:12
SPEAKER_01: I I'm laughing now because I can see our reaction.
47:15
SPEAKER_01: That's one of my yeah, that was a great joke.
47:17
SPEAKER_02: The the thing about that one for me is that it it popped you so hard like that, and then the the thing that they don't see is the camera's still rolling, audio's cut off because we're done, and you're just cracking up laughing, you're dying.
47:32
SPEAKER_02: I was like tears in the eyes.
47:34
SPEAKER_02: It was it was great.
47:36
SPEAKER_01: The only thing I laughed harder at in this season was the album Autopsy Dry Run.
47:41
SPEAKER_01: That's the only thing I laughed harder at.
47:43
SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, that they don't hopefully we'll someday see, maybe on Patreon.
47:48
SPEAKER_01: We've talked about it at some point we might put it out because like I said, there's nothing that can get us canceled, it's just childish.
47:55
SPEAKER_01: It's yeah, but uh I I'm I'm going uh the 2000s uh episode 23 when you were playing footsie with me.
48:05
SPEAKER_01: And and and the reason why it's it's my favorite is because we neither one of us like I'll play it for you after this so you can actually watch it.
48:16
SPEAKER_01: Or no, I think I sent it to you.
48:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you said, yeah, yeah.
48:20
SPEAKER_01: The banter back and forth as it happened was so smooth.
48:23
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
48:23
SPEAKER_01: Like I said, are you playing footsie with me?
48:25
SPEAKER_01: I said, yo, dog, I didn't know it was that kind of part.
48:27
SPEAKER_01: Like it was so fluid, and I for some reason I didn't laugh at it as hard in the moment, but every time I was editing it, I just kept laughing at that.
48:36
SPEAKER_01: Because I played it off to the where it was like, you know what I'm saying?
48:39
SPEAKER_01: I you know, in my voice, it almost sounded like, look, if you're gonna play footsie with me, take me out first, big.
48:44
SPEAKER_01: Right, you know, like so, at least wind me diamond.
48:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
48:48
SPEAKER_01: Um so uh one real quick.
48:56
SPEAKER_01: Uh I want I just want to add this one because it's one that'll make you laugh.
49:01
SPEAKER_01: But in Bearded and Aging Gracefully, we talk about our spike and listeners.
49:06
SPEAKER_01: That one where we had like 117 to whatever that week.
49:09
SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
49:10
SPEAKER_01: You you break it down and you go, it was terrible because it was like a cock tease.
49:18
SPEAKER_01: And like we both just kind of laughed a little bit.
49:21
SPEAKER_01: And I just wanted to add that one because it was pretty close to the other one.
49:24
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it the way it was it it it had gone out, it was it was a funny episode.
49:29
SPEAKER_02: The the one I left because we decided to not touch the bull sessions because they're separate.
49:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:34
SPEAKER_02: But was when we talked about uh our vertical our vertigo cycling.
49:39
SPEAKER_02: That was a good one.
49:40
SPEAKER_02: That was yeah, that was a good joke.
49:42
SPEAKER_01: That was a good joke on my part.
49:43
SPEAKER_01: I that was a good one for me to come up with, and you you fucking played right into it and kept it going.
49:48
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh, this is good.
49:49
SPEAKER_01: Right.
49:49
SPEAKER_01: This is comedy gold.
49:51
SPEAKER_02: But we decided to leave the bull sessions off because they're separate.
49:55
SPEAKER_01: This is the main episode, this is our seasons, our episodes, those are sessions.
49:58
SPEAKER_01: It's a little different.
49:59
SPEAKER_01: And who knows, maybe when we get to a certain point of that, we'll do a little dive back into the bull sessions too.
50:04
SPEAKER_01: I think bull sessions will always be uh season 66.
50:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we did that for a reason.
50:09
SPEAKER_01: If there's a thousand episodes, it'll be season sixty-six.
50:12
SPEAKER_01: We did that for a reason.
50:13
SPEAKER_01: And if you don't get that, we're not explaining it, figure it out, figure it out.
50:17
SPEAKER_01: Um so now that we did that, uh crunchy for the best.
50:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the crunchy for the best episode, since I'm saying it.
50:24
SPEAKER_01: We know I've talked about it, it hasn't changed.
50:27
SPEAKER_01: It's the grief episode.
50:28
SPEAKER_01: It's the grief, yeah.
50:29
SPEAKER_01: Um, I felt I the the the the one thing I remember about that the most is you know, we get off and we go like we take the head sorry, uh it's starting again.
50:43
SPEAKER_01: We take our headphones off and we go, that was good, that went smooth.
50:47
SPEAKER_01: I remember that episode specifically, we took the headphones off and we just kind of looked at each other for the minute and we were just kind of like, I feel better.
50:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like getting a lot of that off of our chest, and and and and and washing away, and well, and I don't mean like we talk to each other about everything, but we knew there was gonna be an audience to this, and there's a different type of relief knowing other people can be like, oh shit, I know, I think that's why that episode is my my my my favorite, and and I I've said this before, I'm a sensitive guy, I'm I'm very deep and big into my emotions, um, and it it felt good for me to be able to show people that just because you're a tattooed asshole, you know, with a beard and a ponytail, I'm still human.
51:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
51:34
SPEAKER_01: You know, but what was uh Bob's crunchy for his best episode?
51:41
SPEAKER_02: I I deviated from the grief episode because I knew that's the one you had.
51:46
SPEAKER_02: You knew I was dead set on that.
51:48
SPEAKER_02: Honestly, for me, the 80s music deep dive episode was mine.
51:52
SPEAKER_02: I actually would not have have pegged that from you.
51:55
SPEAKER_02: Because we we talked Michael Jackson for as long as we did.
51:59
SPEAKER_02: It was it was smooth, man.
52:00
SPEAKER_02: Man, it was you know, we had a little little fun banter back and forth with you know the millions of albums he sold and yeah, arguing like, oh, I seen 70.
52:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:10
SPEAKER_02: But getting getting the chance to talk the birth of thrash metal from the 80s, and then hearing the history from the 80s of hip hop, I was like, dude.
52:22
SPEAKER_02: Some of it I did know, some of it I didn't know.
52:25
SPEAKER_02: So that was fun for me.
52:26
SPEAKER_02: That's what made it and and just a genuine banter and the the dad joke at the end.
52:31
SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
52:32
SPEAKER_02: So um that was that was my favorite episode from the season, outside of the grief episode.
52:38
SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, my second is uh I got a question.
52:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
52:44
SPEAKER_01: So I I I that that is something, guys.
52:47
SPEAKER_01: I I I we're not gonna beat around the bush.
52:50
SPEAKER_01: We're like that's we're revisiting that.
52:52
SPEAKER_01: Just so you guys know.
52:53
SPEAKER_01: No, yes, there's gonna be secrets.
52:54
SPEAKER_01: Uh that was that was a fun episode.
52:56
SPEAKER_01: Um I think now as far as we've come in this, the questions can get a lot more crazy and more in-depth, and it's gonna be fun.
53:05
SPEAKER_02: So I agree with you.
53:07
SPEAKER_01: All right, what's the next crunchy award?
53:09
SPEAKER_01: Worst dead juke.
53:12
SPEAKER_01: I I have to admit It was harder, yeah.
53:16
SPEAKER_01: No, because they're meant to be bad.
53:19
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
53:19
SPEAKER_01: That's what a dead juke.
53:20
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
53:21
SPEAKER_01: But there was one that upon hearing it.
53:26
SPEAKER_02: It was bad.
53:26
SPEAKER_02: Really bad?
53:27
SPEAKER_01: I just yeah, it was to the point where I like I don't even laugh at it now.
53:33
SPEAKER_01: I just do that that emoji where it's like Yeah.
53:36
SPEAKER_01: And uh the eye roll.
53:38
SPEAKER_01: But but I'll let you, you know, you said it, so tell me you're crunchy for yours first.
53:42
SPEAKER_02: So since you had the It's from Inside the Spin Cycle.
53:46
SPEAKER_02: It's the dizzy turkey one.
53:49
SPEAKER_02: It it's so fucking bad.
53:51
SPEAKER_02: And I was like, listen to that, you're probably like, God, that was just it was so bad.
53:56
SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to find like when we do these, okay, so a little bit of the uh behind the scenes stuff.
54:02
SPEAKER_01: Inside how it works.
54:03
SPEAKER_02: When when we're doing these topic-specific episodes, I'm trying to find dad jokes that are relatable to the topic and close to it.
54:14
SPEAKER_02: And that's the best I could do, and I was like, fuck, this is garbage.
54:17
SPEAKER_02: Like I knew it when I was writing it down, and I knew it when I was saying it.
54:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you but you but you you know you you stuck to the plot.
54:23
SPEAKER_01: I did it related.
54:24
SPEAKER_01: Um I didn't, but it was bad.
54:26
SPEAKER_01: Me was was was the the the game on.
54:30
SPEAKER_01: You probably don't remember, huh?
54:31
SPEAKER_02: Is that's that's the uh Nintendo.
54:34
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
54:35
SPEAKER_02: I hate that one.
54:36
SPEAKER_01: I don't know why.
54:37
SPEAKER_01: I just heard it.
54:38
SPEAKER_01: I was like, no, not even that one.
54:40
SPEAKER_01: I do have an honorable mention.
54:42
SPEAKER_01: Okay, but uh that I thought was was was pretty cheesy, and that was uh no notes.
54:48
SPEAKER_01: You remember that one?
54:49
SPEAKER_01: Which one was no notes?
54:50
SPEAKER_01: It was uh what store does the pirate get his hooked from?
54:54
SPEAKER_01: Uh second hand store.
54:56
SPEAKER_02: That was another one I was like, oh yeah.
55:00
SPEAKER_02: Um that was like the vacation one about you know yeah, the ocean doesn't say anything, it just waves.
55:06
SPEAKER_01: See, that was an episode I didn't go back to because I didn't really I had vacations, but I never really had any young, so I didn't have a lot to bring to that episode.
55:15
SPEAKER_01: So that's actually to be full transparency, an episode I went back to and didn't really or I didn't go back to and um but next crunchy um best opening question, and we didn't do a worst opening question because those don't exist.
55:30
SPEAKER_01: He doesn't make bad ones.
55:31
SPEAKER_01: I don't know about that.
55:32
SPEAKER_01: It's not your I'm putting my foot down.
55:34
SPEAKER_01: You didn't have a bad one.
55:36
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
55:36
SPEAKER_01: Um for me it was the zombie apocalypse.
55:38
SPEAKER_01: Fuck.
55:39
SPEAKER_01: Did you pick that too?
55:40
SPEAKER_01: That's an overall for that, then that's it's it's unanimous.
55:44
SPEAKER_01: It's unanimous.
55:45
SPEAKER_01: Um it was you would think we would do the grief, or you would think we would do music, but it was it was a well, it was a super well thought-out question, and both of us really had to put some fucking thought into that.
55:59
SPEAKER_01: We spent about a half an hour talking about that question, and it was a deep question.
56:03
SPEAKER_01: It was, it was.
56:05
SPEAKER_02: What was it?
56:06
SPEAKER_01: Uh if you if the zombie the zombie apocalypse is coming, you have to pick three people to be on the fake, real, it didn't matter, but you had to pick three people.
56:17
SPEAKER_01: And I thought it was interesting because I I still feel bad because people are like, you wouldn't bring your family.
56:21
SPEAKER_01: It's like I wouldn't do it because the point is to survive.
56:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm going to lose my family because none of us are or are equipped to deal with this.
56:30
SPEAKER_01: So why would I, if we're in a world where we have three people, why don't they be with the three people they would choose?
56:36
SPEAKER_01: And then maybe we have a chance of meeting up later.
56:38
SPEAKER_01: But right, and uh and to finish off the crunchies.
56:45
SPEAKER_02: Weirdest topic.
56:48
SPEAKER_02: The weirdest topic that we discussed this season, for me, it was inside the spin cycle.
56:56
SPEAKER_02: Because it's not an everyday thing, it's not an everyday thing, it's a personalized thing for us and anybody that's suffered from vertigo.
57:03
SPEAKER_02: It was still it was weird talking about it for me.
57:06
SPEAKER_02: It was weird, it was good, but it was weird.
57:09
SPEAKER_01: Um I actually went with us and us, but the reason why I did that is because I f and and and this is gonna sound weird, it's because of the title.
57:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
57:23
SPEAKER_01: Um I I really dropped the ball on the title for that one.
57:27
SPEAKER_02: Um we were still learning it was for us.
57:30
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't really it doesn't it doesn't relate.
57:36
SPEAKER_01: Like we knew what we were trying to mean by it.
57:39
SPEAKER_01: It's like we're just telling you us who we are, yeah, but us and us doesn't say anything.
57:43
SPEAKER_01: Doesn't say shit, no.
57:44
SPEAKER_01: And it was just terrible.
57:46
SPEAKER_01: And literally, that's the only reason that I picked it was because I'm like, I just I dropped the ball on that one.
57:52
SPEAKER_02: And the crazy thing is, is the content in the world.
57:54
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's a great episode.
57:55
SPEAKER_01: It's just nobody's gonna listen to it because it doesn't make sense, yeah.
57:59
SPEAKER_01: And that's on me.
58:01
SPEAKER_01: So shit happens that's what we were learning.
58:03
SPEAKER_01: I I I I I I I went with that one.
58:05
SPEAKER_01: We were the spin cycle was too, but uh uh the more I've I've talked to people about my manires because I uh you know I was working from home so much when I was getting my shots, people were asking me, and then I had multiple people go, Oh, I had a guy playing video games, I was playing with Peach, and she had one of her friends on, and he had vertigo, and he goes, I can't get anything for it to help.
58:31
SPEAKER_01: And I told him about the shots.
58:33
SPEAKER_01: So I was like, Well, it still helps people, but it's still an odd topic to address.
58:38
SPEAKER_01: So um, and and with that, um, that's our crunchy awards.
58:43
SPEAKER_01: That's our crunchies, man.
58:44
SPEAKER_01: Um, that was fun.
58:46
SPEAKER_01: Out of all those, we only had one that that was unanimous.
58:49
SPEAKER_01: Hey.
58:49
SPEAKER_01: Uh, and it makes sense why it was though.
58:52
SPEAKER_01: That's the big wiener.
58:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
58:54
SPEAKER_01: Um now we're gonna give you guys a little a little insight into uh into season two.
59:01
SPEAKER_01: Season dos.
59:02
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be different.
59:04
SPEAKER_01: Uh we're we're laying it out different.
59:06
SPEAKER_01: We are.
59:07
SPEAKER_01: I'll let I'll let Bob get into that because he's he's got some ideas for you guys.
59:12
SPEAKER_01: We've said before, yes, we both do ideas, but the fact that I do a lot of the editing, editing and stuff, I try to let Bob have the producer side of it because he especially Bob's the type that like and and guys, this and and you too, please understand this is not you can invest in something, but I know you well enough that I can tell when you're like, I'm hooked.
59:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, by the way you're texting me, like, ooh, I got, and I'm like, okay.
59:39
SPEAKER_01: So I'd like to have you have that because you really start really getting in and paying attention to the details.
59:44
SPEAKER_01: Um, so I want I want you to kind of give a a short overview of what kind I mean, I'll I'll give a few things, but of what to expect with season two.
59:55
SPEAKER_02: Well, do you want me to do you want me to start with uh what we're gonna do for the first episode?
1:00:00
SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, yeah, that's a good place to start.
1:00:02
SPEAKER_02: So episode one, season two, we're gonna start with something that we're going to call the soundtrack of our lives.
1:00:11
SPEAKER_02: We're still flushing it all the way out.
1:00:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we don't have exactly what that's gonna entail.
1:00:17
SPEAKER_01: I mean, we have a few ideas, but we don't have it kind of laid out the you know how we want to get it.
1:00:23
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
1:00:23
SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be along the lines of the music that spoke to us during different decades of our lives.
1:00:29
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
1:00:29
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
1:00:30
SPEAKER_01: That's kinda yeah.
1:00:31
SPEAKER_01: And and how we felt about that at and what was going on or or say like maybe even have like you know, what what was what was a song that or a soundtrack, uh not an album or song that or that could be the soundtrack of your marriage or I'm not saying that's what we're gonna do, but these are things that we're tossing around.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_02: Ideas.
1:00:53
SPEAKER_02: And then the big thing that's gonna happen this this season we're introducing album autopsy.
1:01:00
SPEAKER_02: Get your scalpels ready.
1:01:01
SPEAKER_02: Get your scalpels ready.
1:01:03
SPEAKER_02: We're gonna take an album, we're gonna gut it, we're gonna talk about production, uh, where the band is from, the background of the band, the group, the artist.
1:01:14
SPEAKER_02: Where they were at in their career when this album dropped.
1:01:18
SPEAKER_02: If is if it's still relevant to this day, we're gonna give out grades at the end of it, talking about lyrical content, production, uh the hits, the amount of hits that were on it.
1:01:30
SPEAKER_02: Were the hits any good?
1:01:31
SPEAKER_02: We're gonna leave the your mom jokes out of it.
1:01:34
SPEAKER_02: As best as we can.
1:01:38
SPEAKER_01: Uh but and and another thing, uh I want to get to a point where you guys suggest albums for us.
1:01:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:01:45
SPEAKER_01: For sure.
1:01:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, I mean we have for the next a hundred seasons, me and him could come up with albums.
1:01:51
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
1:01:52
SPEAKER_01: But I want albums that either A, I haven't listened to completely, maybe I skipped, maybe I haven't listened to in a long time, or maybe I just never knew existed.
1:02:03
SPEAKER_01: Because then I can get fresh ears to it.
1:02:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:02:05
SPEAKER_02: I think that might be uh that might actually be episode two, would be the first album Autopsy, and I think we've kicked around doing the black album, I believe.
1:02:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we could start with that.
1:02:18
SPEAKER_02: I mean we That's just that's just potential.
1:02:20
SPEAKER_02: We haven't totally flushed.
1:02:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're not I mean it's not written in stone, but that's where we're leaning.
1:02:29
SPEAKER_02: And then you brought up some stuff also that uh we were talking about before we started.
1:02:36
SPEAKER_02: Some ideas, some segment ideas, things like that.
1:02:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh, I didn't that I've totally forgot about now because I I fucking old.
1:02:44
SPEAKER_01: I put 'em, I put 'em in my phone.
1:02:45
SPEAKER_01: Give me one second.
1:02:46
SPEAKER_02: Because I know there's some nostalgia stuff.
1:02:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's like um we're we're tossing around a possible generational type episode where we talk about the you know Gen X, uh, Gen X vs.
1:03:00
SPEAKER_01: Boomers, and then you got millennials vs.
1:03:02
SPEAKER_01: Gen Z.
1:03:03
SPEAKER_01: And um, and then like friendships and then and now.
1:03:07

SPEAKER_01: And and like, you know, and I mean there's so many different I mean, things like um, you know, the people who changed us.
1:03:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:03:21
SPEAKER_01: You know, uh we definitely like to be upbeat and we do music and stuff like that, but we like to show you guys the serious side of us too.
1:03:29
SPEAKER_01: So there's there's I'm I'm not gonna give any more because I want a lot to be a surprise, but those are ideas we're tossing around and we we we have an outline of how we want to be specific episodes out.
1:03:41
SPEAKER_02: There's gonna be a rhythm to the season.
1:03:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's not gonna be as hectic.
1:03:45
SPEAKER_02: Now a little bit more formulaic.
1:03:47

1:03:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's you're gonna know, oh, it's this week, this is the episode that's probably gonna come.

1:04:43
SPEAKER_01: Uh that ain't even out yet.
1:04:46
SPEAKER_02: I know.
1:04:47
SPEAKER_01: We're we're it will be by the time you see this, but well currently because this is gonna be.

1:05:08
SPEAKER_01: So are we gonna go into final season one conversation and final thoughts together?
1:05:14
SPEAKER_01: Or are we just gonna kind of do like because we've we've basically been conversating the whole episode.
1:05:23
SPEAKER_01: So we can go into we'll do final thoughts.
1:05:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, go into final thoughts, and then we'll do shuffle it.
1:05:29
SPEAKER_02: What are your final thoughts of the uh for for the season, Eric, and everything that's gone on?
1:05:33
SPEAKER_01: So you you you took the time to to to think about yours, and I just wrote what I wanted to talk about and left it at that.
1:05:40
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:05:41
SPEAKER_01: Um my final thoughts are I first I wanted to thank you, Bob.
1:05:49
SPEAKER_01: Um my final thoughts are um you have kept me sane when I felt like I am the reason that's holding us back.
1:06:00
SPEAKER_01: Um when my ideas are shit, you go, it's worth a try.
1:06:04
SPEAKER_01: Let's expand on it.
1:06:05
SPEAKER_01: Um how about instead of that we do this?
1:06:08
SPEAKER_01: Um so for this first season, um, my final thoughts are just gonna be uh uh a thank you to you um for doing this with me for a full season for uh dealing with how just unnecessarily chaotic chaotic I can be at times.
1:06:36
SPEAKER_01: Um I I I'm like a it's like the Joker said.
1:06:42
SPEAKER_01: It's like I'm a dog chasing a car.
1:06:45
SPEAKER_01: If I caught it, I wouldn't know what to do with it.
1:06:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:06:47
SPEAKER_01: Um and uh I want to thank you because you know I love Vonnie like a brother, and I love Jermaine like a brother, but I don't think the season would have been as good as it was if I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.
1:07:07
SPEAKER_01: Thanks, man.
1:07:08
SPEAKER_01: Um and this season I've learned so much about you.
1:07:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I've learned so much about our friendship.
1:07:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:07:15
SPEAKER_01: Um and it has taught me that just because I'm not you have taught me that just because you're teaching me to look at myself in a different lens.
1:07:34
SPEAKER_01: You know, instead of looking at it as, you know, damn, I fucked that up, or I'm struggling with this, you're like, well, let's talk about it, let's see.
1:07:42
SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay, yeah, all right, maybe that's not good, but maybe we can do it this way, or maybe we can add this or take this.
1:07:48
SPEAKER_01: And and um I just I I wanted to take the time to say uh thank you, Bob, for giving us an amazing season and and fucking being my partner on the most insane fucking roller coaster I have ever been on in probably 45 years.
1:08:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man.
1:08:11
SPEAKER_01: Um, and and that's just that's where I wanted to go with my first time.
1:08:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man, that was awesome.
1:08:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I thank you.
1:08:18
SPEAKER_01: It was it was necessary for me because there's gonna come a point where we're gonna have more listeners and we're gonna have to talk to them and talk to that.
1:08:26
SPEAKER_01: But I felt like this first season was a way for us for us to bond and find our chemistry together.
1:08:36
SPEAKER_01: And I think as of recording this episode, we're we're there.
1:08:43
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
1:08:44
SPEAKER_01: So, but you you you go ahead and I'm gonna get my off the off the dome stuff off first.
1:08:50
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna do the same.
1:08:51
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna I'm gonna thank you, my friend.
1:08:52
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
1:08:53
SPEAKER_02: Uh, for absolutely the same thing going on this crazy ass idea brainstorming journey that has brought us to the brink of mental collapse.
1:09:07
SPEAKER_02: More than twice.
1:09:09
SPEAKER_02: Um it's been fun.
1:09:11
SPEAKER_02: I enjoy talking and shooting the shit and getting a chance to hang out and just kind of collectively put our thoughts together.
1:09:24
SPEAKER_02: It's been enjoyable teaching you things.
1:09:27
SPEAKER_02: You you learn very, very quickly.
1:09:30
SPEAKER_02: I try.
1:09:33
SPEAKER_02: It's been fun to pass on some of my knowledge audio-wise.
1:09:36
SPEAKER_02: Um I've enjoyed watching you learn and grow on your own editing wise.
1:09:42
SPEAKER_02: It's gotten so so good.
1:09:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because it was ass in the beginning.
1:09:46
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's okay.
1:09:47
SPEAKER_02: We didn't know shit.
1:09:48
SPEAKER_02: I only had the leg up because I've done some audio production stuff for a long time.
1:09:54
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, but you you were willing to show me that.
1:09:57
SPEAKER_01: Like you were like, here, man.
1:09:58
SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna have to.
1:10:00
SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, but you know, you have roles in every relationship or partnership or whatever, and you know, you're like, I don't shit here.
1:10:08
SPEAKER_01: This is you know, we're both more concerned about the product.
1:10:11
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
1:10:12
SPEAKER_02: So that's what it is.
1:10:14
SPEAKER_01: But continue.
1:10:15
SPEAKER_02: So, my absolute final thoughts that I wrote down.
1:10:19
SPEAKER_02: You know, we started this because we like talking about music, movies, sports, video games, and all of the stuff we grew up with.
1:10:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we you know, we talked about it multiple times, we grew up in the same neighborhoods, we know a lot of the same people, have a lot of the same interests.
1:10:35
SPEAKER_02: But on the other side of that, we couldn't be more different on a lot of things.
1:10:38
SPEAKER_02: I know, which is awesome.
1:10:39
SPEAKER_01: I think that's what makes our friendship so unique.
1:10:42
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
1:10:43
SPEAKER_02: And somewhere along the way, it's become more than you know, our friendship.
1:10:50
SPEAKER_02: It's you know it it this podcast has been a bunch of conversations between our two friends, and it would have happened anyways.
1:11:01
SPEAKER_02: Except now there's just microphones recording all of it.
1:11:05
SPEAKER_02: And everybody else gets to hear it.
1:11:07
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
1:11:09
SPEAKER_02: So uh again, thank you to everybody that's listening, that listens, that downloads, that comes back each week.
1:11:15
SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
1:11:16
SPEAKER_01: That was gonna be my last little I wanted to thank you guys, but I wanted to get that out.
1:11:21
SPEAKER_01: But yes.
1:11:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and and thanks for uh the same thing, man.
1:11:25
SPEAKER_02: Thanks for being uh the best friend that anybody could well the best friend that I've ever had that you know, it's just we have so much in common, we have so much fun when we do this.
1:11:43
SPEAKER_01: Well, and I and I think the things that we don't have in common, we're not afraid to talk with them with each other.
1:11:50
SPEAKER_01: And that's that's what's gonna make this podcast cons continually get better.
1:11:55
SPEAKER_01: And I wanna I want to piggyback on that.
1:11:57
SPEAKER_01: I I I didn't forget about you guys.
1:11:58
SPEAKER_01: You guys know I I thank you guys all the time, and I I do appreciate that.
