TV Shows, Celebrities, and Gaming Discussion
Speaker 1Alright, here's another episode of Express.
Speaker 2Lane Podcast with Kevin Stan. What's going on? Everybody, Just the two of us. We got plenty to talk about.
Speaker 1Kind of Mostly Kev carrying the show. Well, like every time, stan is just Sometimes I've got some anti-government stuff to talk about.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know, stan is just what I can bounce my own ideas off of. Back to myself.
Speaker 1That's exactly what I think about you. I'm just like hey, Kev, tell us a story so I can give you my opinions on things. Knock them in the middle, Fuck them up.
Speaker 2I'm having this fucking great dude.
Speaker 1I've seen the signs. You've been seeing another mom.
Speaker 2Back when Halo 2 was like the game, we'd be playing like up late at night in summer time playing Halo 2. And all the time there's like we'd have a group of or maybe it was Halo 3. But either way we'd have, like you know, eight of us like all in one lobby, like playing together, and they'd be like Kevin, what the fuck are you and Mike doing? Because we'd just be standing there and we would have, you know, hit the TV input button and I think it was like ABC Family at the time. You still like from like 10 at night to like one in the morning would just play Malcolm in the middle. So we'd just be watching like the game would start and we'd just be like on the other input watching Malcolm in the middle. And they were just like what the fuck guys?
Speaker 1Come on Like oh shit, right, and now you've got two screens you can do that with. Yeah, exactly yeah, that shows, I don't. I think maybe it's underrated like because the theme song is like one of the most memorable ones you can think of. And who's poor Frankie Moona's? Who's the Ezra in the gun? Running movie Seth from.
Speaker 2Like the voices? No Fuck.
Speaker 1What's his name? Fat guy? He was just in that movie where he's like with a black girl.
Speaker 2Oh, Jonah Hill yeah.
Speaker 1I really tried not to say the fat guy, because you know he's sensitive and stuff Like he's ever going to hear this, jonah. Hill's fast. Well, yeah, but the point is like, like they I guess text messages were just leaked or something of like him and his ex-girl and it's just like just super embarrassing. It's just like you got to stop hanging out late nights with Frankie Moona's and these sleepovers are a little ridiculous.
Speaker 2He had like insecure fat guy energy with a hot chick. Like that was never going to work out. Poor guy.
Speaker 1I just thought that was funny. Frankie Moona's race car driver.
Speaker 2Yeah, now he is, he's like killing it, I think.
Speaker 1And then the other dude, the oldest brother's hides. Brother in real life, I think, yeah, like the master Danny.
Speaker 2Masterson was was hide in that 70s show. He's going to jail? Yeah, allegedly no, I think like I think the conviction came down.
Speaker 1Like he is going to jail. Was he part of that scam? The the um Colter it just, he was just doing his own.
Speaker 2No, no, I think he was out there on his own, he's just molesting on his own, clangin' and bangin'.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh, poor guy Got caught up.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean, yeah, you use all that that 70s show, power and influence. That's where he ended. And then you get on that that Ashton Kutcher Netflix show.
Speaker 1Yeah, he did come back on that. Huh, that was what Sam uh Elliot, ashton Kutcher and him, and I've never seen a clip of that show.
Speaker 2I think Britt watched it for a little bit and I like walked through and was like, oh look, that's all like some pretty big people and then just kept going. I was like not for me.
Speaker 1No, Um, just watched. Uh, I got two episodes left of the Witcher.
Speaker 2Oh, I didn't start the the part two of this season, Like we watched the part one, which fuck everything.
Speaker 1I didn't even notice that there were parts.
Speaker 2but yeah no, they dropped like the first five episodes of the season three and then they're like wait for round for part two. And I was like fuck, just give us everything. Either fucking do a whole season and give it to us right away, or go week by week and just let us deal with the you know the week by weakness of it. It just fuck this. Here's your first part of the season. Wait six months and it's not a new season, it's the same season that you just want to draw out Like what the fuck?
Speaker 1So there's 10 episodes total, right. So did I just wait long enough to get both of them.
Speaker 2Yeah, okay, it was like three or four, Like it was either it was like a month or just less than a month that they were like. The rest of the episodes are coming, then and then then any new seasons will be different guy. Yeah, it's going to be Liam Hemsworth.
Speaker 1Man, the dude's so good though.
Speaker 2And he's like a nerd Like Henry Cavill was like super, like plays video game Like Cavill.
Speaker 1Cavill, I don't know, superman slash Butcher. Yeah that dude.
Speaker 2But he's like a nerd, like he's super into playing like games on his computer, like Warhammer, like the tabletop game not even like the computer version. Like he paints like little mini figurines, as into D&D and shit. So he's like connected to, like he played the Witcher video games and stuff, like he knows the material.
Speaker 1That's pretty cool, he's not just like acting about it.
Speaker 2He's like, oh, this shit is awesome.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean great Witcher. I mean the show was a little little off sometimes because like you're expecting like Game of Thrones, like when you're in watching Game of Thrones, like you're in it like everything is like that time period like that goofy the Witcher is like kind of they try to play a little goofy, especially with the guy that sings and stuff. Also, that took a weird turn. I'm like. I don't know if that was necessary.
Speaker 2Like that's weird. I think that's just be part of being a bard.
Speaker 1They never like they're. I wonder I never picked that character.
Speaker 2But no, it's, it's. It's its own thing and it's it's not that it fell off. It's that the first season was so good because of the, the timing misdirection of everything, which spoilers. If you didn't watch season one yet, you know fog off kind of. But like, and that's a fuck, what else has done this shit? Like?
Speaker 1that what weren't like the misdirection?
Speaker 2Yeah, where. But just like, the timelines don't add up and you're like you're thinking it's all in one timeline and then by the last episode you're like, oh fuck, like that shit was all like 70 years in the past.
Speaker 1I even watched, I even burned through the origins. That was all right.
Speaker 2I heard that one was was okay. I didn't watch that one.
Speaker 1More goofy. It was more like the monster was fucking really goofy, like just you guys didn't even try. Like here's some some CGI we let the the interns make and this monster makes no sense there's an animated one that's like probably better.
Speaker 2Oh, it was really good.
Speaker 1It's all.
Speaker 2it's all about the like Vesemir, the older witcher that train the White Wolf. What's his name?
Speaker 1I don't know. I honestly I can't keep track of all the names of the places and the people. When they just talk about stuff, I'm just like, oh yeah, probably that one place, that it is.
Speaker 2It is very Game of Thrones-esque like that, where it's like there's a whole continent of names and like places and people and you're like if you don't really, at least for me they sound a lot like similar If I don't read it, like if I see it on like Paper spelled out, like okay, but when they're just like oh yeah, that place in this place and that person who lives oh yeah, that's Gerald of Riverdale.
Speaker 1Yeah, gerard, gerard.
Speaker 2Gerard, gerard. Yeah, whatever him it's like the animated movie is all about like his mentor, how he became a witcher and like all that kind of shit. That one's good.
Speaker 1I just now like figured out, like, oh, they call all the sorcerers like, um, what do they call them? The brother, the brotherhood? I was like oh they're the brotherhood, Okay the chicks got it. Season three yeah, it's just a Alright cool. Just show me who the bad guys are, who the good guys are, and then we'll just figure it out from there. But, yeah, pretty good, but I got two episodes left on that, so I'm pretty. Yeah, sucks, cuz it's like now I want to wait, because now how long am I to wait?
Speaker 2a year two years All right, but this writer is an actor. Strike probably even longer yeah.
Speaker 1I do. I did watch a couple of interviews with the Bard. They're trying to get a sound bite at them for like switching the character and it's just like well, I don't know. I think they're both just like really great and this I'm happy to have a job.
Speaker 2I like. I have no doubt that Liam Hemsworth will do an awesome job, like he's a good actor, but we already had somebody that was there and committed. It's like just like why it's like in that reason In that 70s show when they change Eric's sister, it's just like don't say like, at least this were like, hey, like he's come, they said something that Other a bunch of other times just like, yeah, that person's out like here's the sister.
Speaker 1I was in like that's a new person. What are we doing? What was the reason that? You know the reason for you got other shit going on.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think so. I had other commitments that he had Committed to and that's Witcher talk.
Speaker 1It's funny cuz like playing with the friends like they would never watch, like they they'll watch. They barely watch Game of Thrones. And then like maybe they'll watch, they will watch. What's the other one with Uhtred, son of Uhtred the kingdom? They'll watch that, but like you know the Witcher oh, it's based on video game not watching that.
Speaker 2No, it's based on our books first.
Speaker 1Well, nobody reads books there, Kevin.
Speaker 2Well, I didn't even know it was based on books. I thought it was based on the video game and I was playing the video game and like looking up stuff and yeah. It's all based on books.
Speaker 1Then you gotta go read them.
Speaker 2No Older new like for Game of Thrones area like started in like the 90s or something.
Speaker 1What else yeah?
Speaker 2I watched. We were right. We finished up last week. The finale, the secret invasion and good is alright. I it was really good. I thought up until the last episode and then the last episode just kind of went off the rails.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah it was just like it was. It's all like Nick Fury, so it's not like super hero-esque, it's very much more spy thriller, double-cross type of deal, which was really cool. It's just a different, like it's Marvel, but it's not like Captain America kicking down a door and like doing flips while like punching people through a wall and shit Like it's. It's very much like master spy type of shit. Until the last episode, and then it was just like alright, you guys are blowing the budget and just had some sort of idea here. That really didn't pan out.
Speaker 1See, that sounds terrible. I'll never watch this shit.
Speaker 2It just didn't fit with the rest of the Flow of the TV show like I needed it.
Speaker 1I want to see the dude fuck the bad guys up, like not like all spy and Chris Cross, and then at the end one big fight, like Like the extraction movie, for instance, like the first one. He's just killing everybody. Oh, that's what there's no spy shit like fuck that, get out of here with that yeah like the born identities and all that shit.
Speaker 2Where?
Speaker 1yeah, but he's fucking up people the whole time though.
Speaker 2Yeah, but it's not like he's out there killing an entire town of peace. Yeah, like one person at a time. That's like oh shit, jason Bourne. Oh, you fucking figured me out now. You got to die, I guess. Yeah.
Discussion About Slow-Paced Thriller Movies
Speaker 1I don't. I never liked any of those spy stuff, or it's just all too slow and too.
Speaker 2I love like that thriller suspense like did you Watch no country for old men?
Speaker 1Yeah, yes, yeah did you like? That one I did, but I remember thinking like man, this is slow, see, I loved it, cuz it was so slow and you're like holy like I, like the parts of the guy are they. Are they gonna get this dude?
Speaker 2Like is he? Like was it Tommy Lee's? Just like about to retire? Like is he gonna even give a fuck about this case?
Speaker 1What's the other movie? Where they're in Texas and they're chasing a bank robber, he's trying to save his farm and it's got a the hell's it. Have in it bunch of people.
Speaker 1Jeff Bridges, that one was kind of like similar to no country for old men, but like you didn't see it, it's like two Detectives and this guy's robbing robbing a chain of banks but he took out like a loan on himself or something. Then they were gambling it so they could say they claimed it from gambling and he saved his farm. Anyway, that was pretty good movie as well.
Speaker 2But no country for old men came out. I was like, fuck, I want to go see this movie. And I was on, like me and my mom we're took a trip up to Vermont to go look at colleges. And she's like, well, what are we gonna do tonight? I was like, oh, we go to the movies that you weren't gonna go to. Well, no, and I had to keep my options open of what I'm gonna turn down. Uh-huh, I was like, oh, there's no country for old men movie. And she was like, oh yeah, I did see that. I think I might want to, you know, go watch that. I was like, oh shit, like not what I expected, so we go see it. And we walk out was like, holy fuck, like that movie was great, just the way that ends and Just it's over and there's really is no resolution to the movie. Like I love that shit.
Speaker 1Like maybe I that's part. I didn't like, say I like first fucking.
Speaker 2Every movie is like up here, it is the tide, the happy ending wrapped up in a bow, like sometimes it's just like that shit does. It doesn't happen, it doesn't work out so I was like walk as damn, that was awesome. I look at my mom, she's like that is not the movie. It was the same time when that movie with was like Morgan Freeman and Robert De Niro is like the the. It was like old men escaping like a retirement home to go to Vegas and she thought that's what no country for old men was.
Speaker 2So she was like oh, this, like quirky, like comedy movie about old people was not what she sat down and watch.
Speaker 1So when he's blasting that fucking poor cashier? Yeah, I Just saw the scene the other day where he walks into the office and shoots the guy and the other guy standing there like Are you gonna kill me? So? That depends, do you see me Fantastic?
Speaker 2What's the guy's name? The actor Was a Harvey air Bardham.
Speaker 1I don't know, I knew it was some hard in French, right? Well, I think Spanish. But okay, good point. Well, something like that.
Speaker 2So we got back from thank you vacation and and had like the week from. We're down the beach, had the week, and then during the week brings like I think I'm gonna go back down the beach and take Winston while there there's nobody in the house, so it'll just be us and we can Like take him to the beach and like we'll have like a vacation with when. So I was like alright, fine, like go back to the beach, I go get some burn again and we invite two of our friends, we go go down and then we're just for the weekend in Ocean cities, no bars or like nightlife. So Saturday night we're like let's head up to sea aisle.
Speaker 1And you can't drink on the beach right. Because kids are ruining it.
Speaker 2No, you can. You just have to throw it in a Coosie and not like get shit-faced. Well, cuz I was do that, for that I was definitely drinking on the beach, but we're like, let's head up to sea aisle will go out and then first. But then somebody's got to drive. Yeah, but you know, wasn't me. Sorry, britt, no, she didn't drive. Are my buddy's fiance drove?
Speaker 1There you go. You gotta work for it.
Night Out at the Bar
Speaker 2Um, so we're doing, we're going up there. I was like, you know, if we had just like hung out in Ocean City, we went to the boardwalk and did whatever we could out in Ocean City, I feel like there's a zero percent chance we were gonna run into anybody we know. But now we're going out to sea aisle so we can hit the bar is like it. Just I don't say we're definitely going to, but the chances of seeing somebody we know is going up a lot and and we walk into the first bar. We go to like this beach bar at the point and we walk in and immediately this was like, oh my god, kevin and Britt, and it was like one of Britney's mom's friends. We're like hanging out at the bar and they're like oh, you guys like fucking.
Speaker 2I knew it, we're for somebody cooler. Even I didn't want to see anybody.
Speaker 1Oh, really, I love that. I feel like fucking Bert when that cut like I, like Bert, sometimes is kind of annoying with shit, but like that is one of my feet, that's one of my things that I'm like also like oh, oh, like we're going out about like man, I hope I see people like so cool seeing people out and about when I'm drinking way cooler than when I'm sober.
Speaker 2I guess I mean if I had to do it sober or drunk, like definitely drunk for sure.
Speaker 1I mean that's most things.
Speaker 2Sounds like a problem.
Speaker 1It's what she keeps saying, like no, it's not.
Speaker 2So we go out to that one bar and we get something to eat and we're hanging out. There's a live band that you should totally like. Talk to Dinah and any of these people from up here and really go, just go they're down there this week Just like hit up bars down in.
Speaker 1Yeah, they see Iowa Wildwood they fucking went down north Wildwood Friday night and then Saturday night they were up at a creek in limmer.
Speaker 2Creek side, just because it's like the band that was playing was like, yeah, they're all right, but wait there, dinah would be better.
Speaker 1They there's a band everybody keeps talking about fat mezz. Have you seen anything about them? They're like that's what they're kind of doing, them and Triple rail run or some shit like that, like two hot chicks as like the front girls, like, oh, wearing like shorts, like, but also they probably sound pretty good, like they're. They're doing that whole like exactly what you're saying, like a triangle, like doing the beach scene, coming back up here and then down in a delco. Okay, yeah, yeah, man, like we've said it before, but we live in a pretty good area where it's like, dude, we'll be seeing all these people come through, like there's a lot of people out of this area.
Speaker 2Mm-hmm. One of them got to make it and we'll know them Hopefully you know it'd be the one person that's like I'm not doing that stupid ass, fucking podcast.
Speaker 1Well, no, not even that. Just you know them through Whatever, like you know, like how many people we met just through them, like met people like through work that you'd never think of, like oh well, yeah, that's my daughter's a Cousin or something like that. Oh, all right, cool yeah. But no.
Speaker 2So then we go from that bar to another bar that we walk in this like $10 cover, like okay covers, yeah, cuz there was like a band and shit.
Speaker 2So, like but it's what is like 920, almost 930, and we like get $10, fucking fine. So we go in and it's like dead inside like fucking $10, cover for this. And then my buddy's fiance is like, should we just leave? Like no, we just fucking paid $10 to be here. Like now we're like fucking here, we're gonna figure it out, and the bar was cash only. So I was like ah, gee, like on 2023 cash.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, we got the ATM over there. Who's 10 hours are?
Speaker 2charge. Who's skimming off the top? Here, somebody 100%, but it did like after like 20 minutes.
Speaker 2We beat the rush, I guess because Then I got 20 minutes of us being there, like it got fucking packed and we were at this like really weird age to be there, because we were too old and too young At the same time to be hanging out in the bar, because it's like everybody was older or a lot younger. And Then people were coming up these kids, well, and we like got a corner spot on the bar, so we're just like taking up space and people are like can we get in there? I'm like fuck off, like no.
Speaker 2Should have got here early, exactly. And then I was like man, like all these kids are like 21. They're like how can you tell is like cuz they're all coming up. And they're like, can I get a shot like a grape vodka? Man, grow like you don't know that you can get like a good drink and have it have alcohol at the same time.
Speaker 1Yeah, no, it's. I mean I'm, I'm even like I do kind of like going to I used to I used to be really anti go to Westchester, like if I'm going to Westchester like you guys can drop me off at, like the Eagles Club, I'll be there like Maybe after I get drunk there. Then I'll venture out and, like you know, look at girls at the other bars, but there's no way I'm just hanging out like I hate those places. But now, as I'm getting older, bars actually aren't that bad. Like you know, go sit at the bar, have a drink like a loser. So I'm coming around on that. But the clubs or the places where young people hang out, like I still don't have any real desire to go to those.
Speaker 2Even from when I was 21 until now and, I'm sure, into the future, I would rather be at a dive bar where everyone looks at me like who the fuck is this new person walking in here?
Speaker 1Yeah, usually it's the same old ten drunks. What are you doing here? But that's my people.
Speaker 2Young, non-drunk. That's the people I can get. I can make ten, you know. I'll have a hundred percent success rate of making friends at a bar like that.
Speaker 1We need to go to the bar. We haven't drunk together like really drank.
Speaker 2Not really, since we've known each other.
Speaker 1Maybe that's why we're still friends. Maybe we'll keep it that way.
Speaker 2I mean, we were out at what's it called Screwballs at one time. We were out for the night.
Speaker 1I think you had to go, didn't you?
Speaker 2The one, the one. Yeah, that was the well, we've been to screwballs a couple of times together and the one of them was like I drove straight from work so I got two beers in me. You're not doing nothing, Getting out of here, Maybe like the Phillies game and shit.
Speaker 1Ah, yeah, yeah, I guess, so I was keeping it under control.
Speaker 2But so now we're there and I'm just like looking around and I will absolutely blame fucking the new Top Gun for this. There's a fucking every. All these fucking little kids, you know little 21 year olds like fucking. These kids Clarify, yeah, but they all, all these fucking kids think they're like oh, now it's cool to rock a mustache.
Speaker 2Like no, it's like yeah fucking kids with mustaches all over the place and like dude, like. And people look at me and they're like, oh, nice mustache. Like, yeah, top Gun, like, no, fuck you. Like. This was for years before Top Gun Like. People were like, oh my God, gross mustache. And now it's just cool and everyone's like, oh, you're hopping on the train. It was like no, I was way before this train. And now everyone's just like, oh, you're taking the trend.
Speaker 1So what should the new trend be Like? What's not cool?
Speaker 2Besides Hitler, they get a Hitler.
Speaker 1Bringing it back.
Speaker 2I prefer to call it the Charlie Chaplin, but.
Speaker 1I mean, what about mutton chops? You don't see too many people with mutton chops, or there's a guy at work that has like fucking long ones that just come down, but he's shaved right here. I guess there's also still mutton chops, just really long yeah.
Speaker 2I guess looking stupid isn't stupid anymore.
Speaker 1Yeah, you can say that I see this poor fucking, these clips of fucking poor Ben Margera like hanging out with these two dudes that do they're wearing I don't even know what the fuck's going on in the video Like poor dude he needs fucking help man, what a fucking fall. Yeah, that's like over and over. He's just like watching somebody fall down steps, but the steps are just like really really long they just keep going.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's tough and you kind of feel for him where he's like. He's got mental illness but like that, but he's kind of just like living. I mean, he's like one of them, you're I'm sure everybody has the friend that refuses to grow up when you're 17, 18, that's kids, a jackass.
Speaker 2and then everybody grows up, gets a job, has a house and responsibilities and you're like, oh, I can't be doing this shit. And the other guy's like, no way, man, we used to do this all the time. I think Bam is just kind of living that jackass life and he's getting mad at Knoxville and the rest of them. For me, like you guys are pussies now.
Speaker 1It's 30 years later, bro yeah.
Speaker 2It's time to evolve. But I will say like it's sad and obviously Bam, if you're hearing this which you're not, get some help dude, just like figure it out. But a video where he's like out in LA doing whatever and then he's like he's threatening to do crack until he dies unless he gets to see his son, oh, what a threat.
Speaker 1Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2It's like all right guys. And then he just dropped a diss track.
Speaker 1And I think with those dudes is like these two dudes that wear these shirts or hoodies that say something about 2016 or something. They're like super corny, they're like island boys, except for like what?
Speaker 2Which one of them island boys just came out as gay. That popped up on my Instagram.
Speaker 1I don't think he's coming out as gay. He's born that way.
Speaker 2But yeah, he just admitted to the world that that's coming out.
Speaker 1All right. What when they were making out with each other? I don't know.
Speaker 2He's like I, like dude, you know. Whatever, look at my dumb face.
Speaker 1Oh man, crazy in today's world. I'd be shocked if somebody came out straight Like that's the thing that would be funny today, like, oh man, what a weirdo, you only like the opposite checks. Next you're going to tell me you're going to be with one person your whole life, poser. Oh, so Continue on.
Speaker 2Sorry, keep carrying no, no, no back to the club and before that band comes on there's just a DJ playing a set, like waiting for 10 o'clock or whenever the band was supposed to start. And you remember, like I remember Mythbusters doing something about it and like it's been like one of these things in the ethos of like the brown note. You know I'm talking about when I say that.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2So it's. They tested on Mythbusters they're supposedly had did it to like all these like drug, you know cartel leaders and stuff. When they have them like hold up inside a house and they're like barricaded in, is you like hit like this base level? Note that like the vibrations just cause you to shit your pants.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2And like I only bring this up because we're at the bar and the bass hits on one song, I was like oh. God like it. Just it didn't make me shit my pants, but it rattled some stuff enough that I was like it's got to get cleared. All right, so does the brown note exist. So Mythbusters Almost.
Speaker 1Or you just like right on the speaker and it just you know you should All right.
Speaker 2I look I didn't shit my pants but it shook some stuff loose.
Speaker 1I'll tell you like was the bathroom packed or no? No, Okay.
Speaker 2So it was just you.
Speaker 1It was just you. You just had to shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was just able to go take a dump.
Speaker 1Did you do a bathroom review? No, it's not my thing. You didn't see anybody else, just that one, one part where you saw those people.
Speaker 2Yeah, that was the only people we saw.
Speaker 1that we know how Winston liked the beach.
Speaker 2He was, it was, he liked it. But we went seven in the morning on that the one morning which there's no lifeguards, so it's like kind of like there's no rules on the beach. But there were some people out so there's a. They were setting up like chairs and tents and shit so you can pay I think it's like 60 or 70 bucks and you can the service. They go to the beach at seven AM, they set up chairs and like canopies and tents for you to like claim your spot on the beach and then it's just all set up for you and you go and sit there and then at seven at night they come back and like break it all down.
Speaker 1I hate that?
Speaker 2Yeah Right, just get your ass up and go if you want, like there's people. Now you can just like pay to claim your spot. It's kind of bullshit, but there's some people doing that. There were some people out running, a couple of people walking dog. There was just enough people that I didn't want to unclip. Winston and let him go, because you don't know how people are, and like he will run up and be like hey, who are you? You're my friend. Like let's go.
Speaker 1Yes, your dog, get your dog. He's attacking me Like he. He's a, he's a lab, he's fine. Yeah, he's totally fine.
Speaker 2So like he wanted to just like run around, like and we took him in, like he got into the water a little bit and he was afraid, like he, he like goes up and like it's as the water is going out, like he's splashing through it, and then like a new wave comes in and like just hits him on the legs. Like wasn't very big, but he was like huh, what the fuck? And like had to back up and reassess what the water was doing Nice.
Speaker 1I don't know if I like these early ones, not really yeah.
Speaker 2Pretty good, it's just a different take on it. Like I mean, I did, I was just laying in bed toes like fuck gotta get dressed and leave, like I didn't have shit to do this morning.
Speaker 1So yeah, but you like getting up early, Like. I mean well, not like, but you, you have to You're, so I mean well, I am a morning person.
Speaker 2I don't mind it, but I did, like today was not getting up early, like I slept in for three more hours than I normally would so that's true. Maybe you got up early.
Speaker 1I just did a week of the morning time. I was like by like Thursday and Friday I was fine, but man, fucking. The rest of those days I was like, oh shit. Like I'm very tired and going to bed early fucking sucks. Like I love staying at, like I'll come out and hear it. Like I'll take her out autumn one last time for like whenever I'm done playing Diablo like one two o'clock in the morning and just come out here I'm like this is fucking nice. Like it was a full it's almost a full moon. Like it's bright as shit out. Nobody's around. It's fucking awesome.
Speaker 2Absolutely, we're up up the mountains.
Speaker 1This past weekend and oh, you're going up this weekend, right? So the full moon up there almost yeah.
Speaker 2Well, this past weekend we're at the mountains at a like in Potter County, brits grandparents place, which always awesome that you get and everything you just said Times like 300 because there's a million more stars and the moon is so much brighter. It gets, it's great. But next weekend we're going I'm going up to Vermont.
Speaker 1Okay, Going getting some Heddy Topper.
Speaker 2Probably. I mean, we're going to right outside of Stowe, which is where the alchemist is.
Speaker 1Really. Oh, that's cool. Make sure you grab a case for a Gryffador.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean he loves that shit. Grab a bunch of stuff. I mean the Heddy Topper is good, they have a better focal banger by the same brewery is way better.
Speaker 1I didn't want to drink one because it was like what is it? $200 a case or something? When they go to like, they have to wait at the fucking distributor to get them.
Speaker 2Yeah, and like that's like an out of town or thing, like they know that people travel up there so.
Speaker 1I was like I don't want one of your beers, it's going to taste gross, and I just wasted you know, seven, eight dollars, whatever it is.
Speaker 2It's a double IPA, it's good. It's just I've I've had him a bunch, because my brother-in-law has an uncle that lives up there so he has like a constant supply of it. So I'm sure for people that are like can't ever get their hands on it, like holy shit, heddy Topper, it's so good. I'm like, yeah, like I got still got a six pack from like the last Vermont run, like it's fine.
Speaker 1Well, I remember, don't they have an exchange thing so you can like get like different beers throughout the country, like all like. They'll send you a package of like I don't know a case, but it'll all be like four packs of different beers. Because I remember my one buddy, really Jason. He this is 10 years ago and he would, he was, he's older, he's like a real estate agent, he's like you know fancy and shit, but he'd be like oh yeah, you have to get this one and that one and we have a subscription to where.
Speaker 2I'm sure that type of thing exists.
Speaker 2I don't know about. I know my dad's cousin. He uh crazy into beer stuff. Like he had one of those going but it was just like a Facebook network that he like started himself of people. Like he didn't know these people across the country, but it was just like started this like Facebook group. Like years before Facebook groups were a thing was like look, I'm in the Northeast by Philadelphia, like I'm looking for someone out by Detroit and someone in Washington state. So we got like all these people together and they had like a monthly thing where they would all go grab a case of different beer from around them and you would ship it to one other person in the group.
Speaker 1That's pretty cool, yeah, but I mean, the thing about it I would think of is a now, once a beer is cold, doesn't it stay cold Like, see, that's a do they brew, brew all beer warm.
Speaker 2No, I mean, your beer is brewed at different temperatures depending on the different type of beer you want. But the a beer going skunked really almost has nothing to do with it getting hot and cold, it's all about the sunlight hitting it. So if it's in the sun, that's when the like sun oxidizes the stuff.
Speaker 2UV is doing stuff to to the beer there is, if it's just like In your basement, not in a fridge, and then you put it in the fridge and you have to make room so you take it out of the free like that doesn't matter. That's not gonna skunk beer, no okay but sitting in the sun is what will fuck beer up.
Speaker 1All right, yeah, that's, that's a good idea. That, like for beer, you know, I'll just drink, I'll just keep drinking, yingling in Miller light.
Speaker 2But if you're a really fancy person come on, that's not, let's not lie. You're, you hopped on the Bud Light train. You liked what they were doing with their marketing.
Speaker 1I don't give a shit if they were selling that.
Speaker 2If it was, I don't know, I really like if you could if you could have got one with the trainees face on it, would you have?
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, I fucking have definitely get me just for putting the bar like be hilarious, plus, there's no hate here, bro, I need, I need that sign so everybody knows there's no hate here, just like the other 20 signs in our house that say like love and family and fucking all the goofy signs and yeah, I saw I pulled up.
Speaker 2That's all you got the.
Speaker 1Had to go get it this year it's bigger the summerfest sign. Yeah, they had two Wife to go grab it.
Speaker 2It's cool and summerfest supporting soul droll and everything.
Speaker 1That's the only sign That'll be my yeah I know it's still.
Speaker 2It's one sign too many for my time here and it's.
Speaker 1You know, I do find myself throughout my life like being a huge hypocrite at times. But yeah, that's, that's the only sign. Like you see, how long have I had that a support your local police Assign sitting next to the door like like, why did you get this? Like, where did you get this from? She's like I'm not putting it up, like I kind of support the police.
Speaker 2I did when they're taxing you and fucking. You bought the sign so you supported.
Speaker 1I don't know where it came from Like I have to buy them. I think I don't know. She didn't think you buy.
Speaker 2I'm pretty sure you buy them from the township. I think the townships, all that shit going on, was like yeah, here support us show us that you're not putting out.
Speaker 1Only sign that goes out there your soul drills. That's it. Fuck all those other signs. That's all I got. Keep caring us bud.
Speaker 2Mornings are not your strong, so is it?
Speaker 1also. It's just like the stuff I do want to talk about. It's just not morning time talk. It's like we've got a few beers in us like, yeah, let's overthrow the government, talk. Let's, let's fucking go live off the grid, fuck this shit. I still want internet and hot water, though. Can we do that?
Speaker 2I did say good, just coming from the weekend of no like we, there's hot water, but no internet, no TV, nothing like no cell service.
Speaker 1Yeah, I need to be able to take a tubby and this Internet would be optimal. But if we had like a DVD Collection of like Sopranos and the wire, I guess we could go up to the mountains.
Speaker 2I'll do it when, back when my grandpa had a Mountain house and it was nothing like back what it was like in a mountain house community by a lake, like it was Very much like on the grid living. But just you're saying that a collection of DVDs. I've always been a morning person, so we'd be up at the mountains, I'd get up early, go downstairs and I'd go right to the TV that was in the corner and it was VHS at the time but I would run through. I get through like two or three of them morning before they would anybody would come, and the first one you always was Like a monster truck rally, like DVD, and then that I would yeah, and then that would run to.
Speaker 2It was just like it was like a crash him up, like you like there was like it was demolition derby, but then there was also like Like the best of NASCAR wrecks and like just like a bunch of like car crash stuff compilation on a VHS. All right and then that would roll into like one of the. They had a shit ton of loony tunes, vhs. I was like, and that would be the morning, sitting a foot and a half from the TV waiting for other people to wake up watching.
Speaker 1That's funny. They still have memories because, like I remember, like at a time, if you missed all the cartoons in the morning, like it was done, there's no more cartoons like as a kid, oh yeah it's over, if you like.
Speaker 2The morning cartoons ended at noon, yeah, and like usually, from like 10, 30 to noon was the shitty ones you didn't want to watch anyway, like you had to get up early for cartoons.
Speaker 1Also, if you got up way way early, like my dad would probably get up at like four or something to go to work and it's like all right. There'd be like what's the moose in the squirrel Boowinkle yeah, rockin, boowinkle the old like holy shit, like what is this stuff? This is ancient, yeah, I.
Speaker 2I remember like seeing loony tunes stuff for the first time, like old school, and it was the same thing like Dad was getting up early for work and I like go downstairs. It's like he was watching cartoons like what is this?
Speaker 1stuff. He's all sit down and just watch and it's funny, like so you, then you had all of your regular, then you had like the kid, kid stuff. You're like what the fuck like? I'm like 12, like this stuff, stupid. And but then I remember waking up early. They had dark stalkers. There's this cartoon. It was based off like a video game. Remember that video game?
Speaker 1There's like a vampire chick and a werewolf dude. It's like all these characters. It was kind of like Street Fighter characters, just monsters, fucking cool ass cartoon. But also the vampire chick was fucking smoking hot. But yeah, that was that was. But that was only on like super early in the morning. I don't think they wanted anybody watching it.
Speaker 2Hmm, I just found I was like just and fucking shout out to YouTube and Algorithm knows like the shit that you don't even know that you wanted to watch. But I had nothing like this had popped up in my algorithm before. But I'm like scrolling through YouTube and it's like bang, four hour block of a Tuna me, remember to nomi from cartoon network like Saturday nights when they play the anime stuff.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, I think I watched one of them like that, so it was like rest of it was a four hour block of to nomi from like 97 that I was like holy shit, and so I start what? And it was like the commercials from 97 and like everything I was like damn.
Speaker 2And so I was sitting there Watching it. Britney's like what's this? I was to nomi and then we just sat there and we watched the commercials like we. I was like, oh yeah, this TV show with the guy and the aliens and whatever, and like, just like, skip all that certain amount of comfort, yeah, let's see these old commercials and brainwash dude, it's brainwash, fucking certain like it's a demolition man.
Speaker 1It's like all the radio is just playing old commercials.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1That's pretty awesome. What, what cartoons were there?
Speaker 2Oh, it was a stupid cowboy beep-op. That cowboy beep-op was on there. You, you, hawker, show that's the. Not like that. Oh, you hawker, shows like what's it about again? It's a like the kid that's in, like it's a school kid, school kid that he ends up dying. But he wasn't supposed to die.
Speaker 1He's a ghost or something.
Speaker 2He was a, yeah, ghost detective but like so they brought him back to life and we're like here, you have like spirit powers or whatever, and then he just you know what else goes and fight.
Speaker 1There was that in a yasha and I never really watched that a little bit.
Speaker 2Um, they're a Gundam. Whatever year, flight Gundam 00. Trying to think what I like. I skipped like once we started.
Speaker 1This is like you just want to see.
Speaker 2I was like seeing though like we're skipping a lot of the actual cartoon.
Speaker 1Bring me the comfort of my childhood.
Speaker 2You know the Taco Bell, chihuahua, and like all them, like old-school commercials like that.
Speaker 1See you really like that. I remember we had HBO legally for a long time and that had a block of like. It was just like Not kid cartoons, it was like spawn. Like once I saw spawn the cartoon, I was like, holy shit, this is way cooler than anything else. And then they'd have like a block of like cartoonish animation, like adult stuff. I was like, oh, this is way fucking cooler than other stuff. That was my block, not that stupid fucking Anime, yeah, which I guess if you watch old spawns it's all.
Speaker 2It's borderline.
Speaker 1It's borderline, you know they just don't have a bunch of dudes that look like chicks. Yeah, that's your thing.
Speaker 2Yeah, I like it. Wayne, what do?
Speaker 1you want Nothing, man, you're perfect for this world.
Speaker 2The world's come to you, dude, fucking right, it's like In 21 Jump Street. The first one, they both both funny. Yeah, the second one's fucking hilarious. Yeah, can't deny it, dude. I mean, the first one is too, but when what? Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum first go back to high school in the first one and Jonah Hills look around like fucking comics are cool, recycling is in, like he's like I would have been fucking the coolest kid ever if I was just born 12 years later. That's how I feel about some things. Like man, like fucking. Yeah, that shit wasn't cool, and now everyone's like oh, that is cool.
Speaker 1Everybody's nice to you. They fucking support you. It's fucking weird. It's a weird, weird world. Nah, dude it's, that's.
Speaker 2That's not the real life. Like kids in high school, we're still fucking. They're still little fucks for sure.
Speaker 1Guess that'll never change. Oh no, that's my favorite scenes when he's like sitting there with ice-cream. He's like oh man, like he's, he banged this girl. Oh, you banged it. Oh, that's my favorite, that and my name's, my name's, my name is Jeff. That's those are two good movies. They did that shit right.
Speaker 2Oh, that's the shit that stopped Kanye from being racist. He's like yeah, I watched a 21 Jump Street and Jonah Hill is really funny, so I was like you know, these Jews are all right.
Speaker 1Nice bridging gaps, dude.
Speaker 2All right, I got one. Good because it was. You know, I did it today and I do it. I end up doing it a lot. But when you wake up in the morning and you have an alarm set because you need to get up at a certain time and I Will it's it'll vary from like 20 minutes to like five minutes before my alarm. I wake up before my alarm, like almost every day, but I wake up, check the time, like oh shit, I got seven minutes and like lay down and just like you, keep your eyes closed, dude, it's that seven minutes might as well be five hours, like time does not exist.
Speaker 1Not only that you like wake up but don't open your eyes, like no time has passed in that that amount, of that span not only that, like in the last two minutes of that is when you're like boom, you're going to the deepest sleep you had all man, this is gonna be awesome. And it's like yeah, like oh, fuck, alright, yeah, I was way more awake five minutes ago or five hours ago, because there's no time. Then I am right now. How did that fucking happen? I think it's your mind like fucks with you. It's like, oh, yeah, like we know you're gonna have to get up in two minutes, like let's, let's get you real nice and tired.
Speaker 2They. It's just like you could wake up and if you don't open your eyes, you know it's still.
Discussion About Sleep and Weekend Plans
Speaker 1It's just that same, or you open up every what you think is five minute or ten minutes and you're like, alright, it's like one minute, like, yeah, alright, like I, because I'm ready to go, like I know I've got to get up soon. I'm just it's at that point where you're like I don't have to get up right now, I could take it to the limit, and you just keep opening your eyes Hi, another five minutes, okay, cool. Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking. I did that just just now. No, the worst is, what do you like about, do you like?
Speaker 2I almost like Waking up looking at the my time gone. Oh, I got five more minutes. Like I like that, instead of waking up looking at the time. It's like it's done three hours, no like if you know longer if I got an alarm set for six and I wake up at three in the morning and look and it's three hours and you're like, all right, go back to sleep, but wake up and it's five minutes, five of six, oh fuck. Yeah, I got five minutes, like I'm going right back.
Speaker 1Well, here's the question Do you like All right? So say, you go to sleep and you wake straight up. So you go to sleep at ten o'clock, you go right to fight next thing. You know it's like meh, meh. Or do you like all right, you get up at like three and you take a piss and then you go back to bed. You're like, oh man, I still got like three hours.
Speaker 2This would be great, I like, I, like the straights sleep through really, but only cuz I that rarely happens cuz I'm get up to pee all the time.
Speaker 1Yeah, all right, I like knowing that. Oh man, this is awesome. I got fucking six hours left. Bitch, no, I like.
Speaker 2I like the straight sleep through and just I'm all like every night before I go to bed it's like let me get a glass of water, and it's like oh, look, look, look and then go to sleep. And then it's the middle of the night, like why am I? I say, oh right, cuz I'm drinking a whole glass of water before I get into bed.
Speaker 1I've tried not to like. Alright, I'm not gonna drink anything after like eight o'clock, that way I won't have to piss. I still kind of got a piss.
Speaker 2I just get thirsty yeah.
Speaker 1I Don't know. The worst is the midway point, the where it's not like oh man, I got fucking two, three hours left. It's like one hour or less and it's like fuck, this sucks. Like I had to get up now. I couldn't either just slept all the way through or gotten up earlier.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, it's like if I have to get up to pee and it's like 20 minutes before the alarm, that's or no, like 40, because like 20 is like.
Speaker 1You can do that. I've got a little bit time.
Speaker 2I'm just gonna lay here and if it's for the phone or something. If it's under an hour, I'm Roll, I'm going like I'm holding it till the alarm.
Speaker 1It's yeah, and that's sleep talk, which I could talk about all day. I there's only two addictions I found in my life, and beers now one of them. I keep saying probably, and it's, it's, it's like it's sleeping food dude.
Speaker 1I love, like the father-in-law, always be like, if I don't make it over there on a Sunday for Sunday coffee or whatever it's like you know you're gonna be a gonna, we're gonna regret this. Like you, you'll be sleeping one day forever and I'm like, oh, it's not sleep, but I don't care what they've told you your whole life. Everybody's not just sleeping when they die. But I do love. I love wasting the day like I love I don't man getting up on Saturday like, alright, cuz I worked Friday night. It's like I can, I could play it off like I don't know, I worked last night. I got to sleep till noon today on Saturday. And if she goes to work, even better, because then it's like the kids not getting up.
Speaker 2He's fucking playing video games all night too, see, but that's like it's just a different schedule. It's like, as someone that gets up early every day, 9 am Is a solid sleep in for me, so I can get up at 9 am, be like oh, I slept in and I got a morning and stuff to do, and then sometimes it's like alright, I want to get some shit done. You just get up at your regular time on a Saturday and you blow it like so You're gonna make fun of me for this.
Speaker 1I was like maybe I won't now you definitely will back in the winter.
Speaker 2I, like I saw HBO Max added Lord of the Rings to like they're streaming, you're right and Not just Lord of the Rings, all the directors cuts of Lord of the Rings that you have on DVD.
Speaker 2Yeah, that you've also sat there and watched for days on end, yeah yeah, so I got, I saw that and I was like I planned out my Saturday and I got up, like Went to the bathroom, like fed the dog at like the normal time I would. So it's like by 7 o'clock I'm sitting down on the couch with a tea and, you know, something to snack on, like some breakfast type of thing. You need to get that.
Speaker 1What's up? Do you have a baby? Yeah, so what is it? Oh shit, trace girls. Ah, congratulations. Good job, valerie. Alright, alright, that's cool. Three girls sucks for you.
Speaker 2You rather have keep it all one. At that point, I think.
Speaker 1I guess Now at least one of us has continued to breed, I guess.
Extended Edition Lord of the Rings
Speaker 2Sorry, no, it's all good. So I get up Seven o'clock, I'm sitting on the couch with tea and you know something to eat, and I start watching Lord of the Rings. Start Fellowship of the Ring, extended edition four and a half hours.
Speaker 1Oh, so this is a Saturday. Yeah where's Brett work?
Speaker 2No, she was just asleep. She sleeps in, she sleeps late. Like getting her out of bed on a day she doesn't have to get up for anything is like a hassle.
Speaker 1So you're just like alright, like I know that is so strange.
Speaker 2I just like I got up and I knew I had the whole first movie of fellowship before she gets up.
Speaker 1Bothers you before she's getting up.
Speaker 2Yeah, so she gets up, she comes downstairs, she's like oh, she's like fucking nerd.
Speaker 2But she's just like oh, lord of the Rings. I was like, yeah, she's like, obviously, at the end of like whatever, I'm like, yep, you guys are perfect for each other. So she's like, okay, like this is what you're doing. I was like, yeah, it's like watching that she doesn't realize that it's the director's cut, so she doesn't know that. It's like an extra hour and a half I've been watching, but watch that. And then I was like, oh, you want some breakfast or whatever. And she's like sure, so I make up some eggs and bacon.
Speaker 1You let it play or you pause.
Speaker 2No, no, the movie. The first movie is over.
Speaker 1Okay, okay, and now.
Speaker 2I was like I'll make you some breakfast, do a little break, and then. So I do that and then I go back to sit down. She's like what are you doing? I was like I'm watching Lord of the Rings two towers and she goes. Really I was like yeah, and she's like, well, I was gonna.
Speaker 1I was like go do that stuff.
Speaker 2Hey, I'm not telling you you, can't you gotta sit here?
Speaker 1and watch any of your plans that you've already made. That exclude me. You don't need to tell me about she was like well.
Speaker 2I wanted you to do and I was like, yeah, yeah, fine, but I'm doing this like this is my dad, here's my path.
Speaker 1It's like that scene in Donnie Darko with that bubble that comes out. It's like here's mine, right here in front of the TV just hovering.
Speaker 2I was like yeah, I am do like I am Lord of the Rings in this weekend, like so. She was like all right, fine, and then so I watched that.
Speaker 1I could be at the bar.
Speaker 2And then Sunday morning I get up and I watched the return of the king and it was just great, like knowing that I had the time to enjoy it alone before she woke up. It's like this is so perfect.
Speaker 1I love it. I do need to get up because I am always like man, there's so much TV or video games or drinking that I could be doing right now and instead I'm just like laying in bed, like, but it does make me happy. So I'm it's, I'm torn on. It's, like I could be up doing stuff or it could just be laying here like an invalid.
Speaker 2And I'm like at the point where too much sleep hurts my back.
Speaker 1It's true it does. There's a constant, All right balancing act of like. How much do I want my like? Do I want to not feel good from laying around all day? It's like those. There's people the wife watches. There's 600 pound people. It's like man I I could see how that could happen. You know, you could fall right into it one day. Just all of a sudden you're 600 pounds. You can't lift your leg up.
Speaker 2Oh man, if I could find me like, if it wasn't Brittany, I definitely probably would have ended up with one of them. Feeders stuff my face.
Speaker 1You'll turn her into a feeder. I just came just push play so I could watch Lord of the Rings or get me jalapeno poppers. Neighbor just made me jalapeno poppers with bacon on pretty good like homemade. Oh fuck it. Where from the garden. I did this one of the two of those pepper plants fucking this fucking big dude.
Speaker 2I got, I guess I got bigger than my cock, bigger than my. I mean, everything is you know, but I still got that baggy a jalapeno. That's a good idea. I might smoke up some poppers that you know, sometime this week then they were tasty and bacon yeah, can't go wrong with that.
Speaker 1She used to think cream cheese and I was like I was thinking more. She was gonna fry up some poppers with the cheddar in the middle.
Speaker 2But you know I like the cream cheese.
Speaker 1There. I mean they're good, they're tasty, but um, you know, can't complain, free, free, you know, trade for trade. Here's some peppers. Gives me back jalapeno poppers with bacon.
Speaker 2So pretty good trade. Oh yeah, that's some. Usually I try to like I would. I gave you some of that that pepper powder shit last year. Yeah, and anytime I try. If somebody gives you something, whether it's well, it's a nice saying like we some some peppers, or somebody gives you, you know, meat or whatever. It's like you know I made this up.
Speaker 1She had a say when we gave her something one time she was like and then she gave us something back in the container, say, whenever you get a container you give them back full, like I was like, oh, that's pretty good concept.
Speaker 2Yeah, you don't give back an empty Tupperware it's.
Speaker 1You're lucky to have good neighbors because it can easily go south. But yeah, I lucked out they're older. Miss the parting, but Probably better, probably better, for sure.
Speaker 2Plus that you don't want neighbors that party, you want neighbors, that you know I want neighbors that party with me.
Speaker 1Like let's get all right now, that's what I could wake up for. It's like all right, it's Saturday. Like let's get up at 10 o'clock and start drinking like I'm oh yeah yeah, I'll get out of bed for that.
Speaker 2You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I mean, then there'd be a nice break. We freaking break out the barbecues.
Speaker 2I see I'm gonna day drink anymore. I just got like day drinking is just me being. You know pass out shit-face, you know peeing on the laundry drug because there is no break.
Speaker 1That's me every drinking.
Speaker 2But if if I'm gonna day drink, it's like if I stop. The headache is rolling around right at seven o'clock, so it's like I gotta just power through with more alcohol.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're right on that, but that he does come through hard.
Speaker 2It's like you're getting hung over at you know Dinner time. I'm like mmm.
Speaker 1I can't so, like the break I like the midday break of like all right foods coming and it's like you you eat enough food where like Alright, cool Evens you out and then you have more time because of that, you know. Then you start you keep drinking, but you're slowing down, you know, because you're full and then you, you hit that second thing so and that's drunk talk.
Speaker 2Really cutting that one short. I know you got a lot more to go.
Speaker 1That's just man, yeah, you're Watching. Watching the movies is like I don't think I could do any where I'm just like, alright, I'm gonna give up sleeping in today to go do X. Like I should do more stuff.
Speaker 2You could. You just need the fucking actual hobbies that.
Speaker 1I got my fishing license but there's nothing around here to go fishing in like the lake. The fucking rivers are dead. There's like Bluegill and I'm fucking Sunnies and there's no ponds or lakes around here unless you go up the green Green Lane.
Speaker 2Lane or whatever. Yeah, that's an alright one. You just head up, go a little further head up, knock a mix in and just that's where you can get got a shit ton of stuff in there.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's just like a hat. I'll just go back to Chambers Lake, back my way, or whatever, or Marsh Creek.
Speaker 2But yeah, yeah, I just up the mountains hit a got couple, a couple brown trout out of the crib.
Speaker 1I got a ton of kids like we were, we were gonna, we went fishing the other day and it's like we pull up the thing. It's like people are swimming. You're swimming in this, gee, I guess. I mean it's water. It's probably cleaner than it's ever been in the past hundred years or 50 years, whatever, but still like I don't know that. What is it? Susquehanna or whatever it's called? The right here, what is this river called that cuts through? I think it's us, and then there's other, to the creek, the perky omen creek, and I'm like I we walked through it one time and it's just like.
Speaker 1It smells funky, like not like a river, so like it just smells like chemicals kind of, and like we were wearing shoes and everything felt weird on skin. I was like, yeah, probably shouldn't swim in this stuff. I don't know, maybe they're fine or maybe there's a bunch of there's a Simpson fish in there but yeah, lake fishings better like maybe real rivers with real fish in them fun, but Lake fishings where it's at well, that were.
Speaker 2Like I go in, like you can fish a creek, but you need to know you should fish every creek.
Speaker 1Anything that had a little bit of water we'd fish in. Yeah.
Speaker 2But like you got to know where you can you can't just be like oh, here's a creek, let me throw some bait in it, it's like you. Have you got to walk and figure out the spots like I'm almost 10 years in to going up To the mountain house where I'm just like, oh, I actually you know we're like now I can like figure out where to actually go fishing instead of just you speak like that at hi Bernie Park, because we grew up on that, so it's fun.
Speaker 1It's just now that you're older, like it's like huh, do I want to catch like a little freakin smaller than my cock fish?
Speaker 2Yeah, I, the one I caught. It was like this little four inch trout that Normally you know. If it's any type of size, you throw it in a bucket and then we take it back to the pond on the Lake by the house. And this one, it's just a small fish. I'm like no. But then I'm like looking and this fish Swallowed the entire hooks. Oh, fuck's it. I'm like get the you know the pliers out, like sorry, I'm ripping your guts out ripping this thing out and then I'm just like plop, like toss it back.
Speaker 2He's food for something else and it just sat there. I felt bad, just like it was belly up and like just real shiny, like the water was kind of murky but you could still see like and I was like man and then. But I fished for like 15 minutes and looked down and was gone. So it's like at least he's gonna go die out of sight.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh, have you ever looked into the hookless hooks like?
Speaker 2the barbless one. Yes, sir, uh, I've, I've seen if they work or anything. I've never like bought them or used them. I'm sure they like they make them, so they work.
Speaker 1I always did feel bad because, like I'd work worm fish, like a lot like. So it's like, alright, you throw it in there, and it's like you eventually get it, and like you didn't oh shit, I didn't even know I had one on there. It's like, oh Fuck you, you big-ass bass. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2I let you swallow this whole worm. You just need bigger hooks.
Speaker 1Yeah well, you'd always be surprised about what a what a bass could eat. You're like holy shit, like. I'll be using bigger fucking Hooks and stuff or what'll eat a bass, like I was. I remember reeling in this one, a huge bass at Marsh Creek and fucking Picker balls coming up to get them. I'm like, oh shit, that's pretty cool, like way bigger than the bass. Yeah, little fucking monster in there.
Speaker 2We don't have to go fishing sometime.
Speaker 1Yeah, I ran a boat at Marsh Creek. That's pretty fun. Get two boats, take the you brought. I don't know what you think I want someone going a little boat or it'd be too dumb.
Speaker 2No, you probably would you good, we had it like. There's this like in the pond. They put this like float mat, so it looks like a like a gym mat from high school that they roll out and it floats and it's so apparently you could take like 1500 pound like steel plate and it would like float that. So we've been in there swimming. They get up on the mat and the dog comes swimming over and like hops up on it. So nice. I'm sure you'd figure it out.
Speaker 1I don't know if I could bring our big oaf. She's fucking too dumb.
Speaker 2Oh, she ever swim. Now she Can't even give her a fucking water. Dogs.
Speaker 1We got a tricker into giving her bath.
Speaker 2Take some peanut butter, smear it on. That don't work, she's like fuck you guys.
Speaker 1No, even when she was a puppy, she was just like you know. You try to like all right warm water, like we'll do it right this time, and it's just like never liked it. Like fuck you guys, I'm not going in the bathroom, I mean.
Speaker 2Winston's a lab. So he likes the water, but in the bat, like just like take a knife of peanut butter and smear it on the wall and he's just like Like, alright, dude where else can we smear this peanut butter?
