Collin 00:05

Welcome to Oh, brother, a podcast of three brothers trying to figure it all out with your hosts, Brandon, Colin, and Aaron. On this week's show, have goose must use. Oh boy.

Brandon 00:21

Oh boy. How is it going? is definitely going pretty good actually. How do I sound? How distinta try that again. Hey, how do I sound? Oh, that's better. Okay. Well, you said how do I sound in the middle of moving something? And so I didn't know. I'm certain sorry about that. Yeah, I was adjusting things and stuff happens. So I want to make sure I heard you again before I gave you an answer. If you didn't make it worse, I appreciate it. No, I mean, we're looking at healing. Yeah, I am recording in a professionalism that you can expect here. Yes, that's

Collin 01:16

all. That's all. It is professional to me. adjusting my microphone. While on the call. Of course, it's perfect. What else? What could possibly go wrong?

Brandon 01:26

Yeah. So where are you? Can you can you hear? Can you can you guess? No, I cannot hear. Can't hear anything noises.

Collin 01:38

Oh, man. I was hoping I could capture some of the the birds. But unfortunately, I ambiance the ambiance of the birds have on a back deck?

Brandon 01:49

near the woods? Ah, yes. Recording outside. I thought I would do that. Well, hey, no. So out of the worse out of

Collin 02:00

doors, because nobody's ever done that before. That's the nice part about it.

Brandon 02:05

Never is that first time. So

Collin 02:10

we'll see. We'll see how this goes. If it becomes untenable, I don't have any rain above me. So I've checked to the left and to the right, most

Brandon 02:19

important. The most important part of this scenario currently, it's not raining. So

Collin 02:26

yes. Although it was earlier. My goodness

Brandon 02:29

wasn't really. Yes. It was must have skipped. It must be some isolated stuff today because we got nothing. So as far as I know, I was just inside toiling. Just faffing about all day. So

Collin 02:48

think no, we, we had we had a lot. It was like a sudden burst of rain where it was like I was driving on the road. And then all of a sudden, it was one of those wonderful moments where it was still light out and sunny. And then it was torrentially downpouring while it was sunny, which means there was lots of glare, and you could not see. And then

Brandon 03:13

everyone's favorite.

Collin 03:14

Yes. I was like, Oh, I'm going to slow down by like a lot right now.

Brandon 03:21

Plan in hell, Rob. Thanks. Thanks. I

Collin 03:24

thought you know what I said to myself, I said self

Brandon 03:27

slowdown, but in and pretty much as we know, the number one rule of driving is to not become smooshed and so that's sometimes slowing down is what you need.

Collin 03:44

Well, I don't know if it's the number one rule but it's definitely the number one goal.

Brandon 03:48

Okay, maybe not rule but it is a goal. Maybe I should have said this

Collin 03:55

number one, everyone's goal.

Brandon 04:00

Oh man, though. Yeah,

Collin 04:04

yeah, we'll see. We'll see how this goes.

Brandon 04:07

I just just wrote

Collin 04:10

a blog about cautions of using retractable leashes as a dog owner so

Brandon 04:17

that'll cause Morrow sighting.

Collin 04:21

Yeah, unfortunately, yeah. So we'll see what kind of hate mail we get from that.

Brandon 04:27

Wow, you know what I here's my guess. Based on what I know about you, not a fan

Collin 04:39

Yes, here's my here's my

Brandon 04:40

heartache. Okay, as a person as a former dog owner, recipes checkered. I would tend to agree with you because it just makes things unwieldy in my opinion, right.

Collin 04:59

You know that There's a word I did not use in the blog. But

Brandon 05:03

that's a good word. Edit time, right? A writer here. It feels unwieldy. Yeah. Right. It feels like not that Chuck was a particularly ambitious dog. Right. He's not like, running about, you know, cuz running is not a thing that small Spaniels do. Like, even, he would mostly do like obstinate things like, No, I'm going to smell this flower for ever. And ever. Yeah. And ever. And we're just like, whatever. And so like, the retractable thing just like makes even like little things like that very unwieldy, right? You're not like, you feel sort of like disconnected to the dog, I think. Right? Whereas just we just had like one of those just like normal leash, it looks like a piece of climbing webbing, you know? Yeah, stuff is it's just like, it was just that. Like, it was like eight bucks, right? 10 bucks, whatever. And just that little thing, and like I never even held it like in the loop. I just sort of held it in the middle. Sure, not rambunctious fellow. Yeah. So like, he didn't really need to go over there. But like, wherever he went, or if we were at the time of the walker is like, Okay, now we'll let you sniff around the yard. I'll just follow you. It just makes it easier to be like attentive, I guess. Because he they're not like way over there. Doing? Who knows what? Yeah, like getting tangled on things. You know what I mean? Like having it just be great. There's easy to be like, Oh, hey. I don't know. That's my thoughts. Is it the dog? Is a recreational doc. Just have walked the dogs before? Well, that's what?

Collin 07:03

Well, so yes. Here's before we get the hate mail of if your dog is well trained in recall, and you hurricane mail. Oh, no. And you are in a wide open space with nothing a boot to get tangled on or for other people coming upon you. Sure, go for it. You know, but the 120 pound Rottweiler are being walked by the 14 year old on a busy sidewalk. No, no, people stop it. It's not. It's not okay.

Brandon 07:43

Yeah. So that's the other thing, right? It was not relevant to me because my dog was like, tiny, right? He was a small spaniel like 12 to 15 pounds, you know? But like, so if he pulled, it's like, that's cute. Right? Like where do you think you're going little buddy? Right. But yeah, if you have a golden retriever. And it wants to go over there. Ah, I don't know if I trust the brake system in one of those little things, right. Like to make him not do that. Like, it just, that's a lot of points of failure. Yeah, right. That mechanism, the spooling mechanism that has a lot of points of failure. And like, even if, like, the majority of the time it's fine, there is gonna be a time where it isn't. And it's gonna, like, give out because like, if you're, you know, your labrador, like this is not even like a notoriously aggressive dog. But Labradors are big. Right? Like you think lab you think oh, no, no, no, the dog is huge, right? If it wants to go over there it will right like just gonna go I don't know if I trust that thing like that to not just like break plastic spring and the spoolie like I've never heard of this happening. I've had it happen to me my bed because like I haven't had it. My dog was small. So like you would have pulled it would have been like, right like, and again, here's

Collin 09:29

the thing like, what happens to these things? Are they well? Are their leashes Are they well cared for? Are they well maintained. Now what happens to plastic when it gets old becomes brittle, what happens to rubber when it gets old, it gets dry, it gets dried, dried out. I've had one of my hand where and the other thing is the reaction time is you think you have a lot of reaction time to put your thumb on the trigger. But most of the time your thumb isn't, isn't or the button right on the stop. Most of the time you're out poised over the edge, it's not poised over there, it's down on the grip and further down and not worry about, you have to reach up and find it. And by that time that dog has bolted, what, seven feet forward, and you with a lot of work, right? A lot of what? Momentum, right? Mass times force, right? Like we're getting a lot of momentum coming along here. And you try and stop that with a little sudden break, it's, you know, you are going to go forward or that thing will shatter. And that's what happened to mine, the metal, the coil spring and the inside of this one that I was using, I went to stop it and it just exploded internally.

Brandon 10:35

I was just like, rip the spring out. I can't imagine I've never seen inside one of these, you can tell me from picking up the spring off the ground. But I can't imagine they're just like super robust. Now, you can

Collin 10:48

get heavy duty ones. Yeah, but like, but most people don't. And they're really not like it's just a coiled metal spring, right? That a flat piece of metal that's been coiled and twisted up, that gives it that retractable, you know, so it can cover, but you know, it's held together plastic and seen, you know, stuck together with more plastic, they're really not robust items. So they're the longevity there is just a lot. And then there's the fact of, you know, when you have a standard six foot leash, you can have two points of contact on that you have the loop, and you have your other hand, right if you're if if Chuck really started to get aggressive going one way you could play to Yeah, and you're like, Well, I better yeah, you could put what two hands on it, too. Hey, wow, it really breaks.

Brandon 11:41

That's what that was him whenever it was like Alright, time to finish our walk and go eat

Collin 11:48

my blades on here and have you call me back bud? scampering. But if you have a dog, if you have a flexi lead, if you have a retractable leash, you only have one point of contact, which is the plastic handle. What do you reach for? Right? If you reach for that little, little thin piece?

Brandon 12:05

You will get a clothesline right and close. Well, summer cords? Yes. Summer flat though. Yeah. Oh, there's some? Oh, yeah, I guess there are some flat ones. I

Collin 12:14

have seen some. But here's what happens whenever you go to grab that it what collapses and it basically comes round. And at which point, it is just a nylon finger shredder. At that point. We're just sliced through your hand because you try and break on that you can't get a good purchase on that without it slipping.

Brandon 12:31

So yeah, quarter one would be worse. Like verb burn, because I can see the flattened Island what but the violence of thin right. It's not like a It's not like a webbing, right, because it won't roll that way. Yes. Right. So like I just I didn't know the just the leaf. Just like the six foot webbing. I'm going to call it webbing. I don't think that's the actual character, but it reminds me of the climbing webbing used for anchors. Yeah, right. That's what reminds you.

Collin 12:57

Yeah, it's just like, nylon leash, basically, you know? Yeah.

Brandon 13:01

It's like the woven stuff. Yeah, we had, like, woven, so it was like, thicker. You know. That's why I keep saying webbing, because that's what it reminds me I'm sure. Like, it's easier to carry about, right? Like the retractable one is, like cumbersome because it's a big like, it reminds me of like 100 foot tape measure. You know, that that spools? You know, I'm talking about, like the big ones that have the handle that you have to really, really mean by, yeah, nobody likes using that thing, because it's annoying. And it's big. And it's like, in the way and it's hard to use, right? Like, if you have to carry it around. Even if you're, if you're going somewhere, you're like, Oh, I'm gonna go, you know, I'm going to we're going to take the dog here, I'm going to get the leash, right, like grabbing a big giant plastic box and grabbing a piece of material. One of those things is definitely just easier to do than the other one. Right, like

Collin 13:58

storage wise. Also,

Brandon 14:02

like a bandolier. Right, which is the fun part,

Collin 14:04

which is the best part. I love doing that. Right, obviously, obviously. I do that all the time. But yeah, because then what also is is that it's easier to inspect for damage. Again, talking about the internal systems of these things. Nobody is is every month breaking this apart, oiling it checking for rest, you know looking for breakages replacing pieces of the retractable leash, but when you have the standard flat leaves the webbing and it gets torn or gets faded and it starts to you know, it does dissolve, you go, Oh, that's a sign that this is bad. I will get an new one. But you can't see the internal rusting or breakage is happening on the other one. So just

Brandon 14:47

I mean plus, like, on the big just a flat leash. There's less points of failure anyway. Yeah, because like where's it unless you get like caught on something of the dog who grabs it and stuff like Not like it's not going to fail, like there's only like one place it's going to fail. And that's where the loop on the end where it's stitched with a little thing that hooks onto the collar is going to be. And every time you're using this, you're looking at that part. Yeah. Like, you know,

Collin 15:16

it's it's, yeah, so we use a company wide, we use something called a rescue rope lead. It's actually made of rope. It's I don't know what kind of rope it is. But it's beautiful rope. And I love the handfeel on this, it's nice and thick. It's not a little skinny thing. And the person who makes these leashes from it just does a marvelous job. And that's our go to, because she makes them 12 feet long, but they have two clips on they have a clip on either end. So you can just clip both clips at the same time to make it a standard six foot leash,

Brandon 15:49

okay. Oop, yeah, yeah. Or

Collin 15:53

you can clip one in and you have a 12 foot long, long line, or you can like clip it back to half of itself and throw it over your shoulder. So it becomes a hand free leash, like it's a lot.

Brandon 16:03

Yeah, I was gonna say can you just like clip it around you? And it's like the clips big enough to clip over the own rope. So it like yes, slip knots around your waist or whatever. I don't know how Yeah, that

Collin 16:14

like yeah, does. I do it over my shoulder. So I just do one over my shoulder. So it goes across my chest like a permanent leader. So then it goes down. Yeah. Which helps. And then I also, I also use that if I know I have a dog, that's an escape artist. So now I can clip one end to their collar or to their harness. And then I can put make the other one a slip lead and put it around their neck. So now I have two points of contact on the dock. Oh, so all of a sudden I still have six foot of rope so I can still it still makes it nice. When we do our adventure hikes we use a true long line. It's for long lines. It's pretty it's a shorter one. But that's because here in the Ozarks we go hiking in woods. So it's only have you only go so far anyway, like 30 foot or 50 foot long lines a bit ridiculous when you're hiking up a little past in the woods. So we use a a 15 foot long line, but it's made of Biothane. And Biothane is an amazing material. It is stupendous. It's a it's a rubberized mesh. So they have an internal wedding structure. And then they put this special coating of really durable rubber synthetics. It's it's not just outside, yeah, on the outside of it, and they coat it like that. And, man, it's so cool. I love this stuff. It's amazing. And I love that because it's super durable. You don't have to worry about ripping or tearing. They've got a super long life. And we actually got that from a from a person. She She hand makes these up in Canada and

Brandon 17:50

talked about this before, right whenever you started the inventory, right? Yeah, yes. Okay.

Collin 17:54

So yes, we use that Biothane from her and it's it's fantastic. But yeah, I mean, just but their standard, but they're all variations on a theme of just a standard leash, right? That's what they are like they're not literally rope. And more rope.

Brandon 18:11

Yeah.

Collin 18:14

So anyway, that's your, your your PSA for the day.

Brandon 18:18

About go use rope. Done. got it figured out. The best way is the rope way. Wow. Wow.

Collin 18:34

So yeah, so that blog will come out tomorrow, and we'll get to post that and you know what? To say I love making trainers angry.

Brandon 18:46

You know? Okay, so like you have no like me, maybe if your like, the only thing you're doing is training the dog and like a small area and like, whatever but like, still, you'd want to use what you want to use walking so you wouldn't want to like use 17 Different leashes for the dog.

Collin 19:10

Because that's here's the other thing. Okay, retractable leash. Here's people go oh, I love retractable leash because the dog can just explore but what behavior does this instill in a dog

Brandon 19:23

to not listen to you well too long.

Collin 19:27

Also pulling

Brandon 19:29

it pulling it through because it wants to go over there. It wants to go over there. So until it can't until it hits the end

Collin 19:34

Exactly. But the dog doesn't know where that is because the dog can keep you know mentally the dogs not like is that 29 feet? Yeah, no, no I haven't. So having that close connection to they actually pick up on your body posture your the the commute the secondary communication of your you know of how you are tightening your hands on the leash and giving them immediate feedback. So if you're done Dog has bad leash habits or is developing Bradley's habits, one of the worst things you can do is put them on a retractable leash because they will always pull it encourages, they encourage them to pull and explore because they don't know where those limits are. And so taking them from leash, the leash, the leash, the leash, the leash system is terrible, because they don't know that like, this is a retractable leash, you can walk far right in that, yeah, that's not happening. It's not happening. They're smarter.

Brandon 20:27

It probably wasn't the I don't know if this is probably not like the best practice either. But like, whenever we would let Chuck explore, like, we will let him go wherever he wanted, but we would just follow him. With him. Yeah. And then whenever you want him to stop, you just stop. And it again, small dogs. Not too difficult, right. But like, it's much easier to control the dogs. You know what the dog is doing, if you're close to it. Right? If the dog is way over there, and it starts doing something, you don't want it to do what anybody can do, right? Like you can get very limited if you're 15 feet away from it, right? But if you're four, you just kind of wrap and then like

Collin 21:13

the number of times I've been walking around apartment complexes or even around a block and I come across a blind corner because of privacy fence comes right up to the sidewalk in the corner and a dog pops around that corner because they're on a retractable leash right and the owner is 17 feet behind them and the dogs got around the corner. So like surprise encounters are a major problem. These of the owner can't see what's happening around the corner, right? No, no or what my favorite My personal favorite is when they live on the second or third floor of an apartment building that has direct access to the outside. So they go down that external stairwell, the person like like second floor, some of these long some of these retractable leashes are so long that the person who will open their door didn't stand at their door with retractable leash and let their dog run down the stairs. Like one flight two flights down to go to the little grass spot at the bottom of the stairs while they stand there with a retractable leash their coffee sounds insanely

Brandon 22:15

unsafe. Right? I think that's the word I'm looking for here is unsafe, right like that doesn't mean your dog like run down the stairs of the leash on the stairs, man. I know. Oh,

Collin 22:33

you know the catch you off guard because you're just walking like to do it's a wonderful. Let's barreling down the stairs at you. Yeah.

Brandon 22:46

Yeah, yeah, that's, that's rough. So, yeah, there's just,

Collin 22:51

there's just a lot here. And again, I think the use cases are so narrow as to make them exclusionary to 99% of the population that actually uses them like that. That's where this comes down to have like, sure you can you. Yeah, should you? Absolutely not. Right. That's yeah.

Brandon 23:16

That's fair. That makes sense.

Collin 23:25

Quick sighted update on

Brandon 23:28

August 18. I heard the bird Okay. Okay. Yes.

Collin 23:31

So it's proof people. I can't mimic that. There's no way I could possibly have in in the back shade garden.

Brandon 23:39

There's a goose pay? Yes. Okay.

Collin 23:44

So Mimi goose okay. Yeah. Dad was frustrated that it kept falling over. Even though I suppose they had quote unquote, weighted feet. Okay, so he would like lash it to a tricks on it. It did have steaks but like, it broke off and it was unwieldy. So

Brandon 24:06

some data, no

Collin 24:07

data. How do you think your father solved this?

Brandon 24:13

Well, there's a couple of options. Number one, he attached it to like a four foot piece of rebar and just like embedded it in the ground, right? Like, that's not out of the question. He filled it with concrete. I don't know what he do.

Collin 24:29

So he didn't he did not fill it with concrete however he did. He did set the feet and a block of concrete. He went for mafia don. Got great. And so you look out and there's this good statue and you go down the little black legs and just this clump of square concrete sitting

Brandon 24:53

like you didn't even like put the mulch over top of it like he did not try He's not come on he's lazy

Collin 25:09

Okay, that's that that was absolute. It's a plan.

Brandon 25:15

He could do other things like put it away, not leave it in the garden. You know, for a problem, like, just go throw in the barn. Get rid of it. It's okay. Like

Collin 25:33

you know I have goose you got to use it. That's always

Brandon 25:37

that the axiom that is no,

Collin 25:39

yes if you have to use misuse that's going on the t shirt

Brandon 25:56

along with the Morse code Ahoy, just across the front of the

Collin 26:00

dots and dashes. Yes, next time you're up, you have to listen to this to this vinyl. I'm telling you well listen to that. And we'll make pasta. Pasta.

Brandon 26:12

Yeah. It'll be perfect. Can be something

Collin 26:21

are you Are you fully adapted to summer life yet?

Brandon 26:26

Getting there, right? Then just doing lots of housework really spent toiling about faffing about, as I say because Susan, Susan went back to work summer school started this week. So Susan has gone back. Because Susan is the librarian for summer school. And I am not hanging out at home do you know doing cleaning things and you know, just kind of tinkering around playing video games, reading various and sundry things, right. However, I did. I was helping her do her thing today. And I have discovered a solution. Right? The internet has taught me something this week. And I want to share with the listeners. Because I feel like this is important. It is important information that everybody needs to have. Okay. So I have come across a solution online. Sorry, I can't credit the source because I don't remember where it came from. Some crafty lady on the internet. I have discovered a methodology in which you can much easily easily, much more easily. Remove labels from glass jars. Yes. Oh, the bane of everyone's existence. Yeah. Like, I need to keep his job to push the fan. Obviously. If your name is like ad, right? You need a glass jar for things. But you don't want the pasta sauce label

Collin 27:56

or the salsa labels still stuck on

27:57

the bottle? Yes. Right. Yeah. So previously, previously, one was soak in water. Right and try in. Yeah, do that. Right. And like, vainly scrub at it with a cloth or like a kitchen scraper like something right. However,

Brandon 28:17

wise, crafty ladies on the internet have informed me. Here's what I did. See, because she needed some glass jars for some of her crafts at school for the library kids. So here's Okay. Hot water in the sink. Okay, hot water and so God what's hot water filled up one side of the same not all the way just like a little bit right? To sit enough to submerge the jar. And then dish soap and white vinegar. And juice it up in there. Leave it for like 30 minutes. Label comes right off. Really? Ha yeah. Yeah, I was like there's no way that works. Whatever. I can work that's too easy. Yeah. I was astounded. It just like scraped right off like it was like

Collin 29:17

and left no residue behind. What is this?

Brandon 29:21

Magic now? One of them came off no problem. I just use like a washcloth and just like rubbed it and it just like ripped all the stuff off. And it was completely fine. There was another one that left a lot of residue, right? So crafty lady told me what to do.

Collin 29:38

So she even said, Hey, here's a method that will work. But if this method doesn't work,

Brandon 29:43

yeah, one of the jars is like super gluey, because you know, sometimes there is they're like, really, they whenever glue they use it's like, no, I'm never coming off this jar. Yeah. I mean, the I don't know if you're ready for this. Baking soda and olive oil. He's sort of like make a little paste, like just a little bit of olive oil baking soda, like make a paste and I just like, spread it on the jar again leave it for like 20 minutes. I rinsed it off. All gone. What I was astounded. I was like what? Because that one I was definitely like, there's no way that like the vinegar. Soap one. Okay, okay, that sure sounds like a sea but like baking and cooking oil. Like she used some different oil. I had olive oil just sitting here. So I was like, Yeah, I sort of like stirred it up a little bit and sort of like rubbed down in there with a spoon. I sent it in the sink for like 20 minutes. Rinse it with like cold water and a little sponge and it just completely clean. Okay, I have no words. I was just like Susie came home and she was like, what do you do today? I was like,

Collin 31:01

magic.

31:06

I have done magic

Brandon 31:22

you really truly

Collin 31:23

is though, right? Like, wow, it really is. I don't my whole

Brandon 31:30

life. Right? I'm almost 40 years old. My whole life getting labels off of jars has been like the ultimate struggle.

Collin 31:35

Does it? Does it just work for glass jars? Or would it work for like other surfaces? I guess it's hard to soak other surfaces for like 30 minutes, but like plastics and other things like that.

Brandon 31:45

It's hard to so for other Yeah, I'm not sure. This is just the one I decided to pick because there's other methods like, like I know, if you like if you have stuff with like stickers, right? And you need to get the sticker off or there's a you don't want to get the residue on there. If you like rub a little bit of lighter fluid on it, it just eats it off there. But that's not really practical. And it's not really just useful to just have lighter fluid laying around for that reason only.

Collin 32:09

Well, I mean, you know, depending on what kind of you live Yeah,

Brandon 32:13

this is this. Yeah, so you know, this this worked for removing some labels off of jars. It's three jars for jar.

Collin 32:25

Work. Yeah, it definitely seems like a like a like a batch kind of

Brandon 32:30

solution. It's much easier to do it. Yeah, you don't want to like you don't want to you want to save up. You don't want to like one at a time. That's like an impractical use of resources. You know, wasting too much vinegar like I don't know if it would work for plastic like if you want the bottle like the label of a like a plastic bottle i don't know i mean I'm probably work i don't know i don't see any reason the vinegar would have an adverse effect on the plastic but unconfirmed whether or not it works on plastic bottles, but for glass ones work to treat a treat I say Yeah, so I

Collin 33:21

guess I'm picturing Okay, name a movie where this this type of information is useful I don't know why I remember this, but I don't know host No, no, no, no, it's Catch Me If You Can where he always

Brandon 33:41

storing things in jars. Oh, no. I will definitely hold with the onions but yes, Catch Me If You Can it's kind of guy you know what you do feel a bit DiCaprio II? Yeah, watching it and lift off the surface and the check washing thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. Did you

Collin 33:57

apply them to a to a fake check to then go can I

Brandon 34:01

add them to the garbage can? Because it was just a crumble. Watch like Saki Yeah, well, you know Fair enough. Treasure is one of the jars I will say it had like plastic kind of like the film over the outside of the paper. So I say I left it in the sink for a little bit I peeled the plastic right off and I let it sit some more and then the paper came off like Wait It was like a two stage process but still wizardry was achieved cuz I was like there's no way this I've tried like all kinds of stuff like you know people like oh yeah, just put some rubbing alcohol on it. No doesn't work. Right? Yeah, try nail polish remover doesn't work. Acetone won't touch some of that glue. I don't know what it's made out of that acetone will not touch it at all. And baking soda.

Collin 34:54

Oil that's wild disintegrated.

Brandon 34:55

Right

Collin 35:00

I'm sensing a new new science project to have your students test different combinations of things to read. That sounds

Brandon 35:07

like a bad luck. We talk in science about, you know, when you're cleaning your house, don't mix your cleaners. Yeah, I know. It sounds like a good idea.

Collin 35:18

That's yeah.

Brandon 35:21

You know, like, Oh, this one cleaner didn't get it all the way clean. I'll use a second cleaner. No, no, do not do. Yeah, it was fair. Yeah, I struggle because like, I want to tell them, like what will happen, but I also don't want to tell them how to make it happen. The mortal world quandary of a science teacher, right? You'd be like, This is really dangerous, like you can make in your house. Chlorine gas. Right. I think that is banned by the Geneva Convention. Yeah, right. Like, how did you do it? I'm not going to tell you.

Collin 36:00

I know that sounds really cool. It's not supposed to. It's dangerous, right? You

Brandon 36:07

just die. Like, yeah, well, how do we know how not to do it? It was like you just don't test.

Collin 36:16

One products, your cleaners at a time. Right?

Brandon 36:19

Fine. Yeah. Keep all products separate.

Collin 36:23

Yeah. When using either

Brandon 36:24

direction. I know. Nobody reads directions, specifically sixth graders. Right. If you read the directions on your cleaning solution, it will say do not mix with other products. Yeah, there's a reason for that. Because all sorts of terribly unexciting things can happen. If you do that, right. Like it's very bad.

Collin 36:52

Oh, yeah. reading labels is important. I think the one of the first times that was impressed upon me was I was taking shop class. And oh, gosh, he was a sock shop teacher. The cooler you have cooler, cooler. Yes. And Middle School is the middle school shop teacher. Yes. Yeah.

Brandon 37:12

Yeah. Right. had before that had Beasley Beasley okay. Yeah, he, I think I had him seventh grade. And then eighth grade. He was quickly, maybe, anyway,

Collin 37:27

continue. Anyway. We I remember him showing us like, we were learning about the drill press and the stuff and he, like just casually grabbed a spray bottle can bottle and was like read the label. And I was like, Well, the first time like, I've used spray cans before, but actually looking at it. Like there's a section on there that tells you don't don't put this under a drill press. And I remember at the time being like, why would anybody do that? Why would you have to tell people not to do that. But he was like, it's on there. Because people did that. And then it's fast to death. So don't imagine having

Brandon 38:07

a pressurized canister and then hit becoming depressurized. Instantaneous.

Collin 38:18

Like, like sometimes like what's like one of those moments in my life where like, you just kind of, you see a little bit more of the world, right? Where you're like, oh, okay, like, when you're growing up, you have those moments where you just see just a little bit more behind the curtain of the greater world around you. This is definitely a definitive moment in my life and being like, Oh, okay. Like that, like, broader humanity here. Like, like, we

Brandon 38:46

may read about those, like, those lists of like laws, like funny laws and each state and you realize that there's a law in Florida, that you can't tie an alligator to a fire hydrant. And you have to make this you realize, Wait, that means somebody tied an alligator. And something was right. Yeah, he realized, Wait, hold on. Why are like these weird ones, right? Like, when you read those lists, you're like, Haha, this is funny. But then your brain clicks over and goes, somebody did that. That's why this is written down here. Yeah,

Collin 39:29

um, somebody did that and got hurt. Right? Like, Oh, no. Somebody? Yeah. And I think about that more broad more, more. Personally, let's bring it home here about a little bit of like, you know, I, I'm not a huge risk taker. I tend to be more reserved in those things. But as I've gotten older, it's mostly because, you know, I don't want to have to put those like something on a form while I'm getting care or reporting to the police. Oh, it's like, no, no, like so now let me Sir, what happened?

Brandon 40:07

You're not gonna believe

Collin 40:10

had this alligator right? thing? No, no. What if I, anytime I just had this brother that passed the form test and I'm like, would this look good on a forum like out of contacts? Like no. Okay.

Brandon 40:22

Why were you? Can you explain to me again why the mule was in the bathtub? Okay, let me start over.

Collin 40:32

Whoa, okay, lost you there now do you see a failure? Exactly like it's just I think that's a good rule to live by, like, just think about, like, if I had to report this on a form, like if I was sitting in the ER filling out paperwork, would I want to write this down? If not, maybe don't do it. Right. It's, it's true.

Brandon 40:53

Yeah. The form like yeah, we're gonna call that should be an internet rule, like the form law. So, for example, I've just doing some googling. While you were speaking, did you know that in Missouri, it is illegal to drive with an uncaged bear? Go there's some information for you.

Collin 41:25

Again, it's important to, like, really think about the context that this came up.

Brandon 41:33

Yeah. Why? Why? Well I just don't, I don't know. It's

Collin 41:51

what's that? You don't, but then you go, okay. I have this bear. Like, okay, I have a cage. I can just, you know, it's like, how can we become,

Brandon 42:01

like, totally fine.

Collin 42:03

It's not like, it's not like, you can't transport a bear. It's just like, make sure it's covered. And you're like, oh, that's terrify your

Brandon 42:13

caged containers here.

Collin 42:18

I guarantee you, that is not a law that they have revisited and really refined because that's true part of the part of the process of making laws. You make one, it gets challenged in court, they refine it, or they have to change the language or they make amendments. Like, I wonder how many amendments are in the uncaged bear transport law, like well also,

Brandon 42:37

like, some also the reason that some of these show up two years, like these were a law that they were written in, like 1860. And then nobody revisited them ever. And like, most people don't even know they exist. They just showed up in an audit one year and then somebody put them on the Internet like, Bro, that's weird. Looking back. Yeah, like, they're just sitting there, like this obsolete lot, because our government doesn't function. Just swimmingly all the time. Right. Were they like, shocked? Don't do things like that. It's weird. You think they've done before? And we're probably know the perfect every time. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. One and done baby. Right, these lodges sit around for forever. And even though they like obsolete, and sometimes they reference things that you like, like, no, it's just still there. Because nobody has the time or effort to do anything about some weird random things that are like, because, you know, if they were

Collin 43:42

when we went and revisited the bear transportation law, right, they're gonna go to take this off the books, or do we keep it and they're gonna be like, why would we take off the bear transportation law? Like, we don't want people with bears in their beds of their trucks? Right? We can't have that it's true. Right? Right. So then, do I really want my lawmakers spending their time debating about what structural integrity of a cage is required? And like, like,

Brandon 44:07

I mean, it might be more useful than some of the things they talked about. So like,

Collin 44:12

maybe maybe they look at the agenda for that for that session and go you know, what, this is the time we put

Brandon 44:18

a little light on work. Just taking a break, right? Early

Collin 44:22

a hammer out this cage dimensions. What tensile steel of strength, we need.

Brandon 44:29

Many points. Oh, can you

Collin 44:33

imagine? Oh,

Brandon 44:33

it's Go ahead, sir.

Collin 44:36

Could you imagine the the testimony because all these laws that come for like a committee, and they have the experts give testimony about that, like I I'm a big transportation expert, like here's what my recommendations are like, I would watch I mean,

Brandon 44:51

I've got to call the Department of Conservation, right that dudes that like the nuisance bears around and build those, like Wyoming Although this law, right, although sounding silly, because we have not had bears in Missouri for a very long time, they're back. So, you know, this law might need to be enforced, more rigorously, more relevant than ever. I want to never really we there was a bear like just close to here. Not too long, like this week. It was just like, in a tree. Yeah. They were just like, the bear.

Collin 45:27

Oh, no. Oh, well, not not. Edwin la bear related. Dad took made it in the kids to see Little House in the prairie town.

Brandon 45:41

Out. Oh, yeah. And it's field unsealed? Yeah. They're confined to this time. Yeah,

Collin 45:47

they did. They're a couple different parts of this compound. Apparently, they're like there's a Ford part. And then you're supposed to take a trail or take a drive back to the back part of it to see more stuff. They, they were not allowing attendants to walk the path back because of a mountain lion with her cubs in the area that had that had been encountering people who were making the path. Not nearly like last week. So they were like, Look, if you want to go back to the other house, you have to drive like we will not allow you to walk.

Brandon 46:23

Oh my god. Yeah. So what a what a surprising turn of events. That is that's not very exciting. That's why they're like, Oh, is it closed? And like no mountain lion? It's like, oh, come again. It's great. Not a sentence you expect to hear in the Missouri Ozarks right close due to mountain lion. Not really like just what you were expecting. You know, that's that's a shocker, right? I got no, no. No, it's really truly is.

Collin 46:58

Like, wow, this is landscapes have changed. Yeah, we have bears. Mountain lions now.

Brandon 47:03

lol we've, we've acknowledged that mountain lions exist. That's a big change. Yeah, right.

Collin 47:09

Previously, were just, they were just what young males coming out of Tennessee. Like, something like

Brandon 47:15

that and rotting and like, and you know, people would send in this footage to like the Missouri Department of Conservation. They'd be like, I captured a mountain lion and MDC would be ignited. Like I saw one like, No, you didn't. There's about lines here. I saw one, right. Like my friend saw one like turkey hunting when we were in high school. I remember this is about lions. Like a beard. I saw it. Like it was a bobcat. Exactly. No. Bobcats are bigger than you expect. Not this big.

Collin 47:54

Not that big. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. And tell listeners may be shocked to learn that government. Okay. Again, we're not in a conspiracy corner here. But they were very, like, there was a talking point. And that was stuck to for years longer than it really should have been. And if it was very obvious where it was like, No, here's like, a video of it walking and like, here's one with cubs and like you, here's another one, but they're like, no, no, they're not here. They're definitely like, these are just, they're all transitory. They're kind of coming and going. They don't live here. Like yeah, it's so bizarre. Like, here is a mountain lion.

Brandon 48:33

There are no mountain lions in Missouri. This is a picture of a mountain lion it taken in Ozark like No, it wasn't just like the denial of existence like no matter there is no such thing as mountain Come on, scaling the wedding. Like gaslighting me about my mind's like, No they're not. That's not really a mountain lion. That's just a house cat. Cameras just bad. You have no like depth perception like there's nothing in this picture to tell the size of a thing. That's just a tabby cat. No, that is

Collin 49:14

I will say now they also have to deal with just the general public and when the elk were getting reintroduced I don't know if you heard the story but like during deer season a guy called in and he was calling in for what he thought was the world record whitetail what's because he had shot an elk see agent showed up it was like Mike Yeah. Oh, no. And this was years before them because they just opened up elk season like what two years ago maybe? This was like 10 years ago, right when this wet whole thing was maybe longer than that one is getting off the ground and one ad straight at some guy shot it was like Look at his whitetail Holy crap. It was like,

Brandon 50:03

No, first of all, it distresses me greatly that you can't tell that that's not a white tailed deer can be big. Elk are enormous. Right? Right. Like a 700 pound animal. Like it's beer like. No, dude. No. Yes. So again, since the Missouri Department of Conservation, the wildlife, they don't have the best track record, like record of like, communicating with people about where stuff is, like, so somebody's probably didn't even know that they were elk in Missouri, right? If there's like the exam.

Collin 50:40

Yeah, there's like, Oh, there you go. So, you know, there's there's reason to be suspect of people self reporting things however, when the preponderance of evidence is before you with like, samples and like a body and videos and multiple eyewitness accounts, and they're just like,

Brandon 50:59

Okay, well, anyway. Yeah. Goodness The other update from last week update on your boy. Mr. Cook running guy, Africa running boy. Yeah. New Video released today. Running with food poisoning. How fun is that sound to you? Oh, you ever, ever wondered what would happen to a person if they ran 30 ks with food poisoning? If you guessed wild delirium, and extreme fatigue? You guessed correctly. No. That sounds wretched. It doesn't need absolutely horrid. checked his Twitter today. It's like still alive boys like Alright,

Collin 52:03

boys. Oh, holy crap.

Brandon 52:07

Almost made it all the way across Namibia that getting ready to go to Angola.

Collin 52:16

Fun

Brandon 52:18

times. Mean, less desert. Yeah. Ah, fair. It's probably weighed

Collin 52:25

less deserts always. I wouldn't say less dense. It's always good. But the desert is a fair place to be. It's fine.

Brandon 52:30

It's fine. I mean, at least when you're in the desert, there's like nothing else that is gonna get you. Yeah, except, you know, Mother Nature. I mean, yeah. But like, you only have to worry about the desert. Right? Because there's like nothing else there. Yeah. Like, is there any other animals? Really? Is there? People? Really? Is there? Yeah. Is there any hills for that matter? Not really. So a straight shot? Point. Yeah. So like, there's that so the amount of things to worry about, like wild animals. People have ill intent, right. Like the number of things to worry about builds up. exponentially, right. Like, oh, like a jungle? Oh, no. Who knows what's

Collin 53:22

right, like literally everything.

Brandon 53:25

Literally everything. You know, now that I say that, something I hadn't considered until just right the second bugs? Mm hmm. Right. Like until like, you know now stopping on the side of the road at night, hanging out with the lanterns in this stuff. Chillin grilling, you know, making food resting outside in the chair comfortably in a more tropical setting. Now this is not possible. So the biggest threat once again, not hostile people. Not you know, snakes. Not whenever it's malaria.

Collin 54:20

It's our good friend.

Brandon 54:22

Yeah. Cancer your friend of mine. The malaria right. And I really hadn't considered this at all till now. But the parallel of all the African travels, right? is potentially getting to a place where it's going to rear its ugly head and be like surprise. It's me. Like that don't know how much quinine he has in his little van. Yeah, or

Collin 54:54

Yeah, I mean, yeah, the diseases aspects like yeah, we've been thinking about oh, the pink Eating or being? I don't know, uh, abducted as a prisoner. You know, these old right like, Yeah, but really going, you know, like, actually, it's just, it's going to be the same boring stuff.

Brandon 55:15

That's gonna be the mosquito. Right always gets Yeah. Gonna be malaria. In Africa, it's most likely malaria could be some other exciting things. Right. But like malaria is no joke. Yeah, it's serious. And it just like even today in 2023, it just shared out kills people. Just does is just how it is. So you know, thinking about like, running long distance, you know? Probably not. You know, plus, he's just been sick already. So like, nutrition is not there. Right. Immune System compromised. Already not doing great dehydrated. Definitely. Blood sugar. Probably a mess. Right. Running into mosquito territory is bad news. I'm worried about all rest as long as a worried about our boy wrestle. A good. Not coming to the strong got your shots, buddy.

56:20

Well, yeah, well, yeah. I mean, they do have certain requirements for overseas travel. Um, but yeah, and traveling is a lot of those nations require, like vaccinations for that stuff. Yeah. But still, people get it anyway. Right.

Brandon 56:38

Because it's so gnarly. Right. Like, it's so. So nuts. I was reading this book. Right. Sorry. Tangent here. I was reading a book called. Hold on. I'm gonna turn around briefly to look at my bookshelf because it's behind me. Because I want to make sure I get the title, right. Okay, back there, okay. Seekers, species. Right. So it's all about like, it's all about kind of the turn of the century. Exploration and like, the beginning of like, Linnaean, classifications and all that kind of stuff, right. And it's got a lot of like, little stories in there about like, all the way from like Darwin all the way up to like later, you know, mid 1900 stuff. And the end part is all about, like, with a, you know, after a germ theory and stuff starts to become recognized, like, the malaria and like, the mosquitoes and stuff like, the way in when they discovered that, like, how the virus transports itself through the mosquitoes in the event that that is like a necessary part of the life cycle of malaria. It's like, insane. The way the mosquito has like, developed in its little proboscis there's like a little slit in it. And that is where the malaria lives. It just sort of lines up in there kind of like bullets, or like, yeah, you know, like, it's like loaded in there kind of like, I don't know, I think about the Droids in the Star Wars Episode One. The battle droids how they're all like, locked in the tank. Like that. They're just sort of like lined up in there. And every time the mosquito bites something, it's just like,

Collin 58:28

you know, like

Brandon 58:36

it's really distressing. Think about

Collin 58:39

Yeah, not a pleasant one. There's just all like locked and loaded ready to kill

Brandon 58:43

you basically. Know. Oh, fun. Well, away. joy of joys, huh? Yeah, so we'll continue. Okay, following. I'm our boy. Right. We should tag him. We should tag him. Okay.

58:58

Just continue to follow along, hoping all as well, hoping food poisoning goes away. Hoping malaria does not strike.

Brandon 59:08

Right, because that would be real bad. But like any other sort of like, fun exotic illness, right, like Dengue fever. Oh, that's for sure. Yeah.

Collin 59:20

Yeah. That'd be really a bad one.

Brandon 59:24

Yeah, real bad. Yeah. Well, something to keep an eye on. Oh, hey,

Collin 59:32

speaking of speaking of books, we have a list to look at.

Brandon 59:38

I think we do. This just this is the biggest one I could find. I think it's really good.

59:43

I went with that one. Okay.

Brandon 59:45

I felt that's good. Yeah, I ah, yeah. 50 off include the article 50 on Stacker, it was 50 for the lot 50 Yeah. Some of these, I feel like a lot of the there's a lot of them that are like Shakespeare. So I figured we can just cut those out. Number one, I think I've read all of them and shows you the problem. The problem I was having these lists. And the reason that I talked to Collin offline a little bit was, I was like, what URL in the last week? We talked about what to do, right? It was like, what what criteria do you want? Because I've read? And so I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah. Well, so we, we ran into the issue here, right. Like,

Collin 1:00:35

we've run a lot of these.

Brandon 1:00:38

Or, yeah, so I'm going that I hate Oscar Wilde. And so I just won't read anything back.

Collin 1:00:46

Right. Well, that's why we were going to read what a great, great Gatsby, it was. Catcher in the Rye for Aaron, is that the one that we need to read for him? Or is it with?

Brandon 1:00:57

No, Aaron doesn't like a Great Gatsby. Great guy. I think one of the only ones on this list. I haven't read his Catcher in the Rye, actually. Yeah.

Collin 1:01:05

Well, as in some of these as I was scrolling, I

Brandon 1:01:09

told him that we picked

Collin 1:01:11

Yes, yeah. And then well, that some of these I was scrolling and I was like, you know, it's like, oh, I got it. 1984. And I was like, Yeah, I don't want to read that right now.

Brandon 1:01:21

There's also some of these that just like, That's true, too, right? We have to think about like, there's some of these that are quite heavy. And I'm just not interested dealing with that, right? Yes, the world is tough enough right now, without me reading. Like, like 1984. Right? Or bravely, like Animal Farm. I read those already. But like that, Oh, yeah. But yeah, this is not the time and place to be reading Brave New World. Just don't want to do that. I call me what you will. What I feel like that's just not what I need in my life right now. Not

Collin 1:02:05

Yeah, like Flowers for Algernon. Like, Oh,

Brandon 1:02:10

yeah. I mean, so I, where was

Collin 1:02:13

it? I was looking through this the other day, and I don't know if the other day you literally sent it today. So I

Brandon 1:02:20

wasn't it like Monday, maybe? Oh, that's right. Right. Right. Isn't over the weekend? I can't win. Yeah. So many.

Collin 1:02:28

Billy Shakespeares on here. Yeah. I

Brandon 1:02:33

mean, then, you know, unless you want to read some more Billiam. I feel like a lot of those. I know we've read because like, I think in high school, you're required to read basically all of them all. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah, I really. I had to hear. And

Collin 1:03:01

so I don't know how fair one of them is. So I had two that stood out to me. And I think one of them is just because it's like, literally right at my wheelhouse. And I read this book exactly, once. And then. But it's just, it's something that's really stuck with me. And I do remember enjoying it. But it's been a long time. And then the other one, I mean, both of what I just said goes for both of these books. So I'll just go ahead and say the two that were on my list, were actually Frankenstein, the 18th at PAX, Oregon, some kind some variation of it says the 18th 18th text on this. I don't know we can find one. Yeah. Okay. And then the other one, the other one. I think because it's just, I went for, like, one that I know I'm going to enjoy. And that like, like, that's not going to be like a kind of one is actually the hobbit now I know. That's like you're on a big our token kick and lots of things and that might be a little too on the nose for what we do here. But I will say that those those two really stuck out to me as far as like those would be I think both really enjoyable. Even the Frankenstein is a very weird enjoyable thing, but it's like

Brandon 1:04:21

in the grand scheme of things it's like it's fun. So anyway, that's that's where my brain went for both of those you know, I would criticize you and tell you that you're taking the easy road and all that stuff except for that's basically where my mind went as well. I was very similar on there. Like I was reading his list. Like I said, like there's some that are quite like I'm just not that I don't really feel like this show is the best place to be tackling some of these issues on here because we're all about like lightheartedness and fun And even though we did the outsiders, right, it's like, coming of age and we found some things to be joyous about there, right? Like Excel is. It's just like, egg sandwiches. Right? That's a also side note, I put some of that sweet chili sauce on my egg sandwich this morning. This is like this is life changing material. I put Thai sweet chili sauce on my egg sandwich just like a little bit. Yeah. It is amazing. All right, yeah. So like, I feel like just like, magically, there is, is some things that just like don't fit our vibe. You know what I mean? Well, like,

Collin 1:05:45

quick comment on that. This is the 50 the title of this is 50 classics from almost everyone's high school reading list. 4947 These are like Mega depressing, like,

Brandon 1:05:59

heavy, heavy things. I mean, like, yeah, they're all like, I mean, I read a bunch of these in high school. Right? Yeah. You know, it's not just a happy fun book to be reading your freshman year. Or the flies. Right? That's just like a fun, fun time. Right. So

Collin 1:06:17

we're like their eyes. Were Watching God. Oh, tackles issues of racism, sexism, Secretary segregation, like, oh, wow, that's okay. Yeah.

It's all very important. Very important things to discuss and have opinions on stuff. But like, I feel like, just like where I'm at, personally in my life, and like the world state and like, my feelings on things. Like I feel like Now's not the time, and it's just sort of not on brand for us. Right? Like, yeah, like Mega serious and like, very stoic and things like that. It's just kind of like not what we do. Like even our boy that we talk about all the time old, John Steinbeck, right, like, stuff. Good. But some of it's like, is that really what we want to be doing? And of course, you know, Hamlet, obviously, yeah. So yeah, I was thinking similar. Similar lines, right. Plus, there's, there's some books on here that I haven't read before. Like, a lot of the stuff by like Jane Austen, and the Bronte sisters. I haven't read any of that stuff. But like, it's also like, really long. So like, yeah, I don't, that was the other that's your thing. Taking into consideration with this is like, just time management, stuff like that. Because I know like, You're real busy. And all that stuff. And so like, the like, some of that stuff I do want to read in the future, but like, I don't think right now is the time for like a 600 page epic. About because I haven't ready that's a blind spot for me, right, like Jane Austen stuff is and like. I think that's not good. Because I think it's, like so ingrained in popular culture. Like, if it everything references, Jane Austen. Yes. Yeah. So like, I do need to read this at some point. Because from what I hear people that like it, they say it's like, it's like, actually funny, right? Like, there's Yes, funny stuff in there. And it's like, important stuff, but like, I just don't have time constraints for this time. They're a bit long. We'll keep those on the radar for okay. So I am fine with either one of those. I think the either one of those two. Sounds good to me. Okay. Mm hmm. Okay. Well,

Collin 1:08:42

I think we may, we may throw this to Aaron to see if he has a say. I'm, I'm

Brandon 1:08:50

personally ah, leaning more towards

Collin 1:08:56

Hobbit right now. But that's just, that's just me.

Brandon 1:09:02

Again, it's okay. So like, again, if we're going to the medically summer time reading. Yes. Frankenstein is not the first thing. Fall reading list. Oh, we'll do our

Collin 1:09:21

spooktacular book review. Ah, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Brandon 1:09:26

I feel like that. Okay. So like, the thing that would be fun with Frankenstein. And the reason that would be fun to do is like, you we can we could read events. This is like, okay, future talking to feature us here. Right. So like, is possible to like, if we read that, like, we also have just like a lot of other experience because I've there's like 50 billion different like, movie versions of that story? Yeah. One of which is Young Frankenstein, which is hilarious. The best one. And so I think there's the opportunity for a lot more like cross media discussion. And that's fair, right? Yeah. which it could be like fun. It can be like a big thing, right? So we could table we could table that one if you just want to do the Hobbit. I'm looking. I have a copy of The Hobbit right here. Okay, look at that. Now, look at that. Bonus points, because I already own that.

Collin 1:10:18

I had a copy of Frankenstein. I don't know where that is. Oh, it was long gone. But yes. Okay, so I'm, I'm down for that. Ah, for sure. I just, yeah, we can set up a reading schedule for that. Okay. Sounds good to me. That now, was it a

Brandon 1:10:38

thing? We made a decision? In and of itself? Groundbreaking?

Collin 1:10:45

Massively. Massively. Everything's fine. Okay, yeah. And we'll start. We'll start that. Soon, I guess.

Brandon 1:11:01

Yeah. We'll talk about that. Because I am going to I realized is going to be out of town. We have talked about that. Later. I'm going to be on the post or like a week show.

Collin 1:11:21

Well, yeah, it will.

Brandon 1:11:24

Will. It's like weirdly like a Tuesday through a Tuesday. So like, we might have to like,

Collin 1:11:30

pick us up. Okay. Well, we can do a bad it's actually. Okay. We'll do that. Yes. Well, that's.

Brandon 1:11:36

So if we're doing a book we can like have a backup. We have to record like, double time. Yes. Okay, I'll text you later with the date and stuff on that. Perfect.

Collin 1:11:49

Yeah. And then we'll set up a plan and get all right. Get that rolling. Okay, that sounds look at how productive all this was. Oh, and there's a bad I was thinking

Brandon 1:11:56

about that today. I was like, because this whole time I've been like, I'm not this whole time. I've been like, I'm not leaving till June. It's not a big deal. It's not been a big deal. Until like right now. Like, yeah, like,

Collin 1:12:12
