Music. Welcome to Oh brother, a podcast where we try to figure it all out with your hosts, Brandon and Collin on this week's show, iconic sandwich Ahoy, ahoy.

00:20

How is it going

Collin  00:21

that? That was really weird. Okay, it's going fine now, but, oh, okay,

00:26

okay, dumb thing. Oh no.

Collin  00:30

Like, there, yeah, there's this thing that pops up and it says the meeting is being recorded. And I say yes, and then there's another thing that I have to okay before it will let me join and turn my microphone on. Like, I have to agree, right? So I say, like, join with computer audio. Boom, yes. And then it says, this meeting's being recorded, and you have to hit, okay, otherwise it won't turn your mic on. You have to, like, agree to be recorded or whatever. But there the button, so it's like a it's like a text box, and there's words, and then under it, there's a place where you can hit, like, okay, or no, but the button part is not showing up. Sometimes when I join like, the text box is there, but the buttons aren't there. So this time, I minimized it the window, and I was digging around in this other thing to see if I if there's like a setting I can be to just be like, always say yes. But when I reopened the window, that message was back in a different place with the button there. So I just said, yes. Oh, man, weird. What is this you I do? What does it matter with you? That's I don't I don't understand why. All of a sudden there's having these, these issues like this. It's really weird. And come on, they're like, they're getting lazy, right? They're like, Oh, hey, we don't have like, they're not feeling enough competition from like, Google, meet or Skype, right? So they're just like, not doing all the stuff, you know? I They're just like, there's not, not feeling enough drive from the competition, right? So they're like, oh, they just laying off and, like, being all lazy and stuff and fun was legitimately just thinking this of as the companies kind of get in the lead, they get lazy, right? And they're feeling like, Oh man, I don't need to do that. Who's going to switch over to them? I've got all this lock in. I've experienced all this great results, and I don't need to insert name of things that they don't need to, or whatever, and you end up like with things slipping. You end up with these little, quote, unquote, little problems that really add up to major pain points over time. That's true. There's a very famous example of this. It's gonna be the most nerdy thing ever, right, love it, but famously, right? This, this could just because this is what I've been watching on YouTube this week, right? Kind of ties in with my thoughts from last week. A little bit here, famously, there is a perfect example of this phenomenon, right? Where, when there is strong competition, both products end up being quite good, right? But as soon as one comes in the lead, it becomes really terrible. I am, of course, talking about the Monday night wars of wrestling of like 1997 1998 right? This is what, right? Whenever, whenever there was like two, like, very hot wrestling products, right? The wrestling on both was quite good, right? As soon as the WWF, I mean, sorry, WWE, like, became firmly in the lead, the quality of programming went down dramatically, yeah, because they didn't have to try, it's quite bad, like, it's quite bad. So this zoom can learn from the Monday night wars. It's a great lesson, because then there's no need to drive forward. You don't, you don't have somebody hounding you on the tail, and you lose that, that desire to do better, right? Goldberg and DDP on the other channel, right? Like, driving the ratings through the roof, that's who you're competing with. I mean, good luck, but like, shout out to diamond downs page, right? There you go. What's up? That's what we need. I like to think he'd be a friend of the show. I hear he's a pretty good dude. So, you know, shout outs gotta ask the GDP what's up? Sure. Bang. Why not go? Got him? Oh. But I've been on break. I've been just like playing video games and like watching this, like wrestling podcast thing where they'd like review, like classic wrestling. It's like the most hilarious thing of all time. And so that's why I have wrestling on the brain, just because they review the absolute silliness that is old wrestling. So that's, oh well. I mean, it's not all bad things, no, oh no, no, no, it isn't. But there's definitely a lot of silly so nice. It's, yeah, I mean, that's something that I haven't watched with our kids. Is anything? It literally anything wrestling, I don't know how to, like, gently bring that in, right? Yeah, what happened? I've got to figure out how to do that. What's a good entry point for the world of wrestling? Do I start? Like, back in the 80s, like, no, no, no. Like, based on what I've watched from, like, the wrestling review shows, like they've because they did some of that, like the early WWF, like the 80s stuff, right? Like the wrestling is not good, like the character is like, macho and all that stuff's like, really good. That's like, really interesting. Like, the story, because, base, it's a soap opera with body slams, really, right? That's really what wrestling is. But so, like, just kind of jump in somewhere, right? Just watch it and be like, Oh, hey, here's some random wrestling. Oh, here you go. Blah. Like, because, you know, it doesn't matter. Like, they always recap everything all the time anyway, for new viewers. So, like, there's not really just jump in and go for it to be alright, or just show them old iron cheek, right? That's what you'll go. You know? Maybe that's all that we do. I think we need to see this follow the story arc of like one wrestler, I think that's what we need to do, not Hulk Hogan, and sure, if you want to save the best for last, do that. Oh, I am out of sorts today. I am. I'm not, I'm not sick, but I'm also, you don't sound not sick, right? Yeah, not Well, that's what I'll say. And would you say, are you gonna run it up to flagpole and see? Yes, now I have to run. Okay, let's see. Tell me more. No, sorry. I I specifically listened to that song prior to joining Yes, like I this is exactly how I feel today. I'm not sick, but I'm not well. Nobody else in my house gets that reference, so I just need to that's all right, because the second time, relatively close together, that song has been referenced on the show. Too strong. 2000s vibes here today, ladies and gentlemen, wrestling,

08:13

Harvey danger, right? Like, yeah, and then, man,

Collin  08:17

Harvey danger, that's flagpole sitting. You know, flagpole sitting, yeah, 1997 that's right in the middle of the Monday night wars. You see, look at that exactly. But I also got, we got some new we got some new light bulbs in our house. Oh, and one of the things that I have not, we have not done a a most of the ceiling lights in my house are like, they they don't make them anymore, as with everything in my house. And so they're all like, oh, there is one place to order these very specific light bulbs, and there's only one kind that fit in these, unless you want to completely rewire them. And I just haven't gotten and no, so I have to go to ever more and more obscure light bulb places. But we do have a few just normal, you know, 30 watt or whatever, light bulbs that, you know, round ones that you just have some of those classic ones, right? The classic ones. What started all of this is in our downstairs bathroom, underneath, above the vanity, there have, they have three that are, that are there, and they're on the middle one burned out. And we kind of lived with this for a little while, and, and I figured it was kind of nice. I was like, oh, it's kind of a subdued atmosphere in the bathroom, but also it's a little dark. And these, these light bulbs, were so old I couldn't tell what temperature they were, and fewer things infuriate anymore than mismatched light bulbs. Uh huh. When the temperature isn't right, yeah. And so we bought this, like, giant box of daylight light bulbs. And I thought, that's what I want in the bathroom, right? Bright? You would just want bright lights in the bathroom. You don't want, like, it cloud or that way, like dim and dark in there. That's true. You won't be able to see your hair up. And, yeah, yeah. So I, we bought this giant box, and I replaced them in there, and this little, tiny bathroom is, like the surface of the Sun it is right now.

10:31

Oh, it

Collin  10:34

didn't help that. Like we went from three, like, cool lights to so we went from two cool lights to three daylights. Like, like, I think that's what happened. We went from that, mean is very, very yellow. They were the yellow ones and right. So then I have this box of like, sun, sun blast. And I'm like, where else is more light needed in my house? And so, like, I changed them in our pantry. I was like, I can see and I like, but when I changed out a couple in our basement, because

11:06

that's really, that is, yeah, that's a good place to have mine. And

Collin  11:10

then I'm standing in my office, and I can't change the ones in the ceiling lights, because the ceiling lights are like, like, weird, like, loops. Like, they've got two loops on them. They're loop light. I don't know what these are. They're very CFL, like, CFLs. Okay, yeah. I'll send you a picture of these weird. They're, yeah, they're compact fluorescent, but they're loops, and they're, they're, they look like this. You can't like the circles, like the ring ones. No, no. They're like, they're like rods, but they loop back on themselves. Like, what I'm going to pick the picture I'm going to send you here, I don't know if it's going to come up. What you can't see is that on the left side, that one comes up, and then it loops back down, and it comes back down on the other side. And so it's kind of like this, like mini, like horseshoe, almost, but it's a real pinch, like pinched in horseshoe kind of shape. I'm having a real hard time describing this. It's very weird. Those are what I have in every ceiling light in my house. And, oh, why? I don't know. I don't know. And they're annoying because they like, click in and so to Yeah, you like, really have to rank on them. And when you're on a ladder, in dealing with, like, this plastic from the early 2000s Yeah, that's what you want to do, is yank

12:32

on it really hard. Yes, nothing bad can happen there.

Collin  12:35

Yes, wait, it really makes me happy. Um, and you also notice at the base they are not screw in. They are like, four posts. Yeah, that's really weird. And the plastic clip this picture that I'm going to send you, you can easier see the tubes and how they look, but the base is wrong. The base on this one I'm seeing you as a screw in, not just the four the not the four posts that just slot in. So the ballasts on these things are weird. Like, yeah, that's what we have in our ceilings. And I hate these things, yes, like, I have to that's fair. And they are, they're never bright enough. I these things are just there. I detest them with everything. And they're never bright enough. And doesn't matter how bright I get these things, every room seems a little dingy. So in my office, I'm standing there with my packet of 32 daylight impact bulbs, and, you know, hide these bulbs, and I'm and I have a lamp in my office, and I says to myself, self, you have a small office this window. It doesn't face the right way. It's rather dark in here. I shoot video. Sometimes I want to put these in my lamp. That's what I put them in my lamp, and that was at 11 o'clock this morning. I came in tonight to record. I turned on my lights from a pitch black office, and I was blinded.

14:05

I forgot,

Collin  14:09

because previously to these, they were very yellow lights, very like shit. It's okay. Don't worry about it. Now these are searing into my skull and burning away my retinas. And so I actually have it so on my on my recording wall, I've hung up these, like I tried to soundproof using these thick curtains, and I hung them, the curtains on the wall and added, like I hung them away from the wall by like two inches, so the curtains are just hanging there, and then there's foam board on the other side to help capture sound. That's what I'm talking into. Yeah. So I on my layup. It's got the flexible arm. Usually have that swiveled over my my my desk, I have that swiveled over, and it's tucked behind the curtain so that

14:56

I'm so far away. Now it's. It's being

Collin  15:00

hit. It's behind the curtain of shame. I like it like over there,

15:10

just over there, behind there,

Collin  15:14

hopefully, thankfully, it's of the variety that's not going to catch fire being smothered by a thick black curtain, but it is hopefully that would be bad. We don't want that, like what I need to do, oh my gosh.

15:26

So, so

Collin  15:29

I'm just my throats, terrible. It's all, it's all discombobulated here. That is quite that's a lot. This ties in nicely, actually, with a story that I must regale you with, right? So two nights ago, driving home from Christmas basic festivities, so we get hot, we're in the car. We drove Susan's mom and her husband down, yeah, to her sister's house, right? We had Christmas stuff, whatever. Come back. Okay, Christmas night, it it is, like, quite foggy, right? And the whole ride, Susan's mom was just commenting on the fog for the whole ride home, no, for like an hour, just like, I can't imagine. How could you see to drive like, I buy whatever, like, blah, blah, but so extremely foggy, right? The longer I'm driving, the denser the fog is becoming. Okay? So, so then, so we have in the back, so we have this back seat driving of exclaiming loudly how foggy it is. Yes, I'm aware I could see that, and then loudly exclaiming how she's glad I'm the one driving because she can't see I'm like,

16:56

oh yes, me too. That's very good. Me too. Thank you for reminding

Collin  16:59

me. Thank you. This is great. Yes, this is why I'm here, haha. But right? I learned that there are many people in Missouri that don't know how fog works, right? So we have all these people driving and they're turning on their brights in the fog. Oh, what are you doing? Why? And the like, horribly bright LED Sun lights on some of these, like, new cars right there. It's horrible in the fog, right? It's, yeah, awful, right? Like, it's, you can't, I don't think they can see anything. I definitely can't see anything when they're coming towards me. Yes, right? It's already kind of annoying in the normal dark, in the fog, though, holy cannoli, right? So, like, dark, late night, not late night, but like, you know, this at like, five o'clock, so it was late, yeah, it's very dark, it's extremely foggy, and there's just these super bright lights. It's absolutely ridiculous. I hate you so much, but I was following this one person, right? We're almost home, and I like. I don't want to pass them because they're not driving well, right? I should have passed them, because they kept slowing down. But I could see that, like, all they're turning on their brights on the highway. Oh, I like, we're on the highway. Like, why are your brights on? What are you doing? Why are you doing that? I was like, I was just like, You know what? I bet I was like, talking to them very passive aggressively in my trying to calm my naturally inherited road rage, yeah, as one does. And I was just like, I bet your father is so disappointed in you right now, driving like this in the fog, they're ashamed of you. You shame your parents, sir. That's what a pox upon your house. Yes, is I have. I have experienced this more. I do a lot of driving at nighttime, taking care of people's pets and stuff. And I have encountered more people driving with their brights on basically just full time. Just full time. It's on small, tiny streets in cities, on the highways, driving around where they I genuinely don't think they believe it impacts anybody else. I think from their perspective, it's I need to see for my safety, and so I get to keep these on. And it is, it is very bad. And this, this, oh my gosh, you want to talk about old man topic, bright lights at night, but seriously, like, it is getting really out of hand. And the fact that people are like, like, No, you you turn them off when the car is inches from your face, so that they can see right? Because you don't like, that's just kind of a nice thing. To do. But for some reason, people just like, leave them on, leave them on, leave them on. And I actually, yeah, I, yeah. I, I talked very passive aggressive, yeah. Like I could see every time we did it, because it was so foggy that when he turned his lights on, I could see the front end of his car glowing more, right? That's how foggy it was. Yeah, okay, it was this dense, right? And I think he had some very bright bulbs in there as well. But like, every time he would turn them on, he would flick them on. Or you could see the FR, I could see the front of his car glowing brighter. That's insane. It's like, that's messed up, dude, what are you doing? Why are your brights on? Doesn't make any sense. I can see just fine. When my normal had because we were driving, uh, her mom's husband's car, right? So it's like an old, like, giant Mercury thing, right? Huge old, yeah, like, boat as it as one pass, yeah, and so, like old, kind of cloudy yellow headlights I can see just fine with my blows on all the the only time I turned them on was we were taking, like a back road to, like a state highway, so, like, off in the hills, you know, whatever. So, like, this is an accessible time to turn your brides on. Of course, no cars coming. You know the cars in front of you, blah, blah, turn the brights on for a little bit. But also, right? Missouri drivers, let me let you in on a little secret. Fog is made up of water droplets. Right? Water is really, really good at refracting light, right? So if you shine more light at the water droplets, it's just going to reflect, refract the light even more and make it harder for you to see where you're going, right? So if you are in the fog, you do never want to turn your brights on. Like, what? It just makes it work, that you can't tell that it's harder to see when you do. That worries me, and I don't want to be on the road with you, exactly right. Like, this is not okay, yeah. And I, I, I'm, I'm plugged into a few different communities online. That sounds weirder than it actually is, but it's like, we're like, car people who, like, kit out things and like, okay, so it's, it's like, over Landing stuff, if we're being perfectly honest, yeah. And so, yeah, we know what you're talking about here. People actually, it's a thing where people actually will install more yellow lights to their cars for the winter and for so that they can actually see better, yes, and so I don't know why we've moved away from this. And I know the French love their yellow headlights for various reasons, but like, like in these situations, having a slightly dollar less intense light actually helps you see more better. And I don't understand it. I just don't understand the intense lights. I rented a car A while back, whenever our car was in the shop and I was needing to get back and forth, and it had an auto feature, and it was some like weird, like some Corolla, where it would auto detect if you were if there were oncoming headlights, and it would automatically turn off your brights. And I don't know, yeah, that's exactly what I said. I was like, this is literally the best feature. This is on an almost base model. It was on like a Corolla LE. And I was like, what? Why is this not on every modern vehicle, bottom standard? Because this should be and of course, driving at night, you know, on a highway, it's like it was, wasn't the best. It was very rudimentary. But on the other hand, at least it was something. And if you have somebody who, there are so many people, I'm astounded by this, who just get into a car and don't fiddle with anything, they don't touch buttons. They don't check auto or anything like, they just get in and they just drive. And it's like this, people just accept the standard of whatever the car does for them these days, way more than they used to or used to have to, and so, or, you know, they didn't have that option before. And so it's like, you know, just make it standard, and people will live with it. They'll be fine. Like you did it with auto stop, start, like that was in that still annoys people, and people complain about it, but you did it. Can you do it with the headlights? Please, come on. Pull through with us on this one. Come on. I know you can. Yes, but I mean, this gets back to the other problem is, like, you don't need your brights on on the highway anyway, right? Yeah. Right? Like, it's a highway. There's ambient lights on billboards and, like, street light things all the place. Like, I know this is like, between places and very rural Missouri, but like, you still don't really need your brides on because there's so much other traffic. Like, you don't even need to do that. Like, what I know, like, why are you doing so weird? I did not understand it all. It's just, like, I don't understand. It was, it was confusing me. It was, it was awful, like, so it was just, it was a it was very fun ride back home, is what I'm trying to say here. In the long run, I can understand that makes sense. That makes sense. I would I too, would be complaining we we were eating at her house tonight for dinner. We ran down there real quick earlier today, and we came back. It was foggy again. And so when Susan Collin tell her home like, Oh yeah, it's still foggy, I hear you wouldn't Oh, my Lord, I can't believe you drove home and then, oh, how are we gonna get home if we don't drive in it? Like,

26:08

no, just tell

Collin  26:09

her, okay. We're gonna stay the night. See what she says. Like, oh, no, go. You will be fine. Leave me.

26:22

It's not that bad. Get out there. Yeah, get what are you doing here?

Collin  26:28

Oh, well, that was my big rant for his week. Like, I don't know, people don't know how to drive in the fog, right? It's either that or it's like you said, they accept the standard. And there's a lot of people that don't turn their headlights on when it's raining. That's also fun, because it's always people driving like, gray trucks. Like, aha, the exactly the thing that I need to see. Yes, it's like, overcast, gray day. It's this big gray truck with no lights on at all, moron. Oh, you know, there was that big push in the early was it early 2000s with the turn your running lights on your turn? Right? No, it was just turn your headlights on. And during the day. Do you remember these commercials? Yeah, just have mine all the time. Just yeah, it was a it was a big push that I don't who was doing this public safety, whatever, I don't know, yeah, or they just wanted you to turn on your headlights during the day. And this is why we have running lights on modern cars. Because I remember doing those commercials, you know, people were stopping, they'd be like, your headlights are on, or your headlights are on. It's like people notice when your headlights are on, yeah, notice you when you're on the road, turn on your lights, blah, blah, blah. But some people still will. Sometimes they just leave the running lights on and don't turn on their actual headlights. Sometimes they don't even have those on, and sometimes don't even have those on. Yeah, these are the same people that are like, I'm not wearing my seatbelt. I can't believe they are making like, bro, calm down, like stop, but, yeah, that's it. Apparently people in Missouri don't understand how lights work. That's what I learned shocking that they're often ranked as the worst drivers in the United States. Can't imagine that these two things are connected to mystery, that that's no seem right. I don't believe that it's mysterious. Can't imagine how these two things are. Could possibly be connected in some way, right? Like, Oh no, you gotta we also we, for part of our Christmas festivities. We've been working our way through the regiment of of Christmas movies, and we watched a new one together as a family this we haven't watched this one before. We watched the Polar Express, ah, and starring Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks and Tom Hanks now, and Tom Hanks, oh, yeah, yes, featuring Tom Hanks for there are a lot of things about this movie that are groundbreaking. Like, it's the first, I, it's the first full feature length movie to be shot in, oh, in capturing people's movements specifically for Oh, really, whatever that's called, what motion capture like? Motion Capture, yes, it's the full feature length. No movie before then was ever shot in 100% motion capture. You can't tell you can boy, how do you can do? Yeah. Like, in the lifeless I go back and look at it now, like it's a little we well, I watched it yesterday and today, and I'm like, yeah, that face is creepy. Okay, not okay with this. I I remember going and seeing this in the movie theater with Mimi, and I remember at the time being like, Oh, that wasn't too bad. Now, re watching this movie. I have thoughts on this movie. Have you do you see this? Have you seen this movie recently? Not recently, recently, but I have seen it several times. So yeah, I think I don't know, like, where to start, like, Tom Hanks is fine. It's okay. Like, his performance of Santa is a little weird shot to spoilers people, it's Tom Hanks in everything. Yeah. Like, it was the director's idea that it was just, like, we'll just have Tom Hanks do everything. And then exactly budget reasons are they? Like, oh, this is this mocap stuff so expensive we can't get anybody else. Can we just make Tom Hanks do all the parts. Tom Hanks is not a cheap get, like, I don't, I mean once, yeah, so you have him, that means you can't get anybody else, right? You have, like, random children. Oh, right. Budget alone, your budget Tom Hanks and motion capture, yeah? Like, oh, like the first gen mo cap software, right? So it's, like, real expensive, because it's the first one. So now, do we not have anybody else? Do we just have to only use Tom Hanks? Yeah, probably, but they had, here's the other thing that was weird. They had other people stand in for the motion capture of the other people, because they had to, right? Because they have different body shapes and they have different style. Oh, that makes sense, yeah. And so what he would do is he would, he would stand behind a screen while the person was doing the motion capture, and he would do the voice while they did the voice, and they moved their mouth to it to the lines as well. Okay, that's weird. I don't know, very weird, you know what? And I can't stand it. Like, really getting some rainy vibes over here people of like, okay, what was old is new, and what's new is old. Like, obviously, like, this is, this is, I love you. I love you. I love you a lot. Exactly, yes. So that was the first thing that came to mind whenever I saw that. That's what, how they were doing some of these shots, was they would have the other actor in front and then viewing the motion capture, and then have Tom Hanks hiding behind the screen in the back, doing the voice. And I was like, that sounds familiar, but they the whole thing is weird. I don't know, like the, I think the weirdest part about this is, you know, in the in the book, which is, albeit, like, exactly 10 pages long, with only, like, 10 pages of text, if that's true, and that's true, you don't hear Yeah, people complain about the Hobbit movies. Why aren't you complaining about the Polar Express movie? Guys, come on. Where are you at here? You got to be consistent here. Okay, it turned 10 lines of text and, like, two hours, of Tom Hanks, and the hour and a half of Tom Hanks. And I think the biggest thing for me, that just makes the whole movie weird is the ghost guy on the train. I don't I forgot about the ghost guy on the train. The ghost guy that That's Tom Hanks who, like, is living on the train, and is like, Do you believe? And like is all creepy. And like, they're skiing on the roof, and then, like, he helps them. And then there's the conductor, who's also Tom Hanks, is like, Oh, I was helped one time because I almost fell off. And it's like, oh, so this dead guy is just kind of around this train all the time, like, with what, like, what Casey Jones is going on here? Like, why it's so weird, and Christmas trains past, like, I don't know. This is exactly like, what, what is this guy's backstory? Was he want a kid that didn't make it? And then, like, I don't know, like, so bizarre, like, there's a guy that's on this train with a bunch of kids that's actually not there, and he's also dead, like he genuinely because he just, he disappears into a cloud of snow many times. And then there's all these, like, winks and nods of like these, like very deep lessons that you were supposed to learn and like, take away. And like, Do you believe? I don't know. Do you Why is this so creepy? Like, that's not okay. I don't know. So we watched the movie. We in two parts because we just, I. Can't we need a break from this. I need to read. I don't know. I need I need some break. I need a break from this. And we finished it up today, and I'm like, you know, it's, it's okay, but it's also a little terrifying. It's also a, kind of a terrifying movie. I don't know it's weird. I didn't like it very much, right? Like, I know it's holiday and stuff, but, like, I don't really like the movie just a whole lot. It is weird. I think it's definitely one of Tom Hanks Wars movies. Gonna put it on the bottom five Tom Hanks movies, right? And I don't really like it, yeah, no, it tries too hard when they just like, it's, it feels like they're pattern, right? Like there's a lot of stuff, like random ghost guy and like, really long, extended sequences, for no reason and because it is first gen mo cap. It's like, their mouths are so weird. I don't like it looking, yeah, yeah. It's all, it's all, it's all too it's all like, way too much. And I, I don't know anyway, I just I finished that today, and I was like, this, this was not a good movie. And they tried. Man, they really tried. And the music's good. It makes it sounds wonderful. But no, I you go, Well, if that's the case, if you'd rather not watch that. Susan and I watched a Christmas movie last night that maybe you'd be more interested in. Oh, right, here's a secondary Christmas movie review. Spontaneous. Wasn't planning on this. But since you brought up Christmas movies, here we go. This is now. It's not new, right? This is definitely from 1945 but we watched Christmas in Connecticut, man starring your girl, Barbara Stanwyck, oh, yeah, that's right. Basically, it's like, it's like a 1940s Christmas rom com, right? So there's this, like, lady who is a, her name is, I don't know what her name is, it's, it's a standard scared Elizabeth lane, right? She's like a writer for, like a magazine, right? And she is, like this really famous lifestyle columnist, right? She writes all about her farm in Connecticut and her husband and her baby and all these all this food, all these recipes that you know, like that kind of thing, right? She's actually a single woman that lives in an apartment in New York. Oh, and so there's, there's this guy who got like, injured or whatever in the war, and he's coming home, and he, like, wants to spend Christmas on a farm. And so, like, this nurse lady calls the head of the paper that she knows, because this guy needs help convalescing and all this stuff. So he like, calls the head of the paper, which is definitely Sydney Green Street, which is Larry's right. And he's like, Oh yes, we'll call Miss Lane, and we'll have her come host a party with for us at her house in Connecticut that she definitely does not have, with her husband, that she definitely does not have, and her baby, which she definitely does not have. So hilarity ensues as she like this guy she's dating, or whatever kind of sort of like he has a house in Connecticut, and her friend is, like, a restaurant owner, like, and so they go up there and they, like, borrow a baby from this lady that works at the factory, like, the House made. Lady watches the baby anyway. So they're like, Oh yeah, here's our baby. But like, one day when they're there. She doesn't have to go to work, so she doesn't bring the baby over. Oh, but, like, a different neighbor brings her baby over. And so there's just, like, a totally different baby, Wow, gosh. So it's really, there's a lot of that silliness. And then, like, the romantic plot is like, Barbara stand which character is like, supposed to be married to this guy, right? And the sailor guy that's coming, he's also supposed to be engaged to the nurse lady, right? That told him to come up here. Blah, blah, blah, blah. It happens that, like, Oh, she actually, uh, decided she didn't want to marry him. She wanted to marry his friend instead. And so then he finds out that she's not married, and like, oh, how convenient is this. Blah, no. So it's actually quite hilarious, right? All of the shenanigans that ensue over this, they're supposed to be spending Christmas and, like, having all this stuff, and she's supposed to be showing them all about her, like, country life. But she definitely doesn't know any she doesn't know how to cook, she doesn't know how to farm, right? But she's been writing about it in her newspaper column. So they're like, Oh yeah, blah, blah, blah, the cow, right? And there, she's like, yes, of course, the cow. I Oh, that's hilarious. It's pretty good excuse. I really liked it. I actually liked too. So maybe better Christmas movie, okay, Christmas in Connecticut, right? They go, pretty good. Any, pretty funny, any Yankee. I thought was pretty funny. So you go. I Sego, also speaking of trains. Oh, yeah, I took our train adventure. I I have had, I this was, I only had one thing written down on my book here, and it was to ask, how did this go? It was pretty good, right? It's pretty interesting. So they had the railroad just like rocks up in this thing, and it, it is all the vintage rail cars that they still have, like, it's stored somewhere, I guess. I don't know where they had them, but there was, like, six cars, right? Is there 655? Cars, I think five or six vintage rail cars, right? They rock up, pull up here from Arkansas, right? And they load them up. They do the thing where there's just like an engine on each end. They just drive down a certain distance, stop, drive back the other way. Yeah, but it's pretty cool. The like, they're, like, the nicest versions of the vintage, real cars, I guess they have, they have them all decked up. They got speakers in there. They're kind of playing Christmas music. And there's lights and things everywhere. They have, like, conductors and people, right? They have, like, a, they like, read a little thing, like the Christmas story, like the night before Christmas. That's what I meant to say. Okay, they like, read that for all the kids, and then they serve like hot chocolate and have cookies, and they sing like Christmas carols while it's trains driving down through the thing, right? So it's pretty cool, right? Except for a couple things. Number one, the dude in our car, in charge of the singing, cannot carry a tune in a bucket. Oh, oh, my Lord, that he's been doing this for like, a long time. Like my guy, my guy, you cannot sing. You have no rhythm whatsoever. Why? It's like he'd never heard these Christmas songs before, like he doesn't know how they go. The rhythm was all wrong. It's like, oh, my days. What? Why? What is happening? Um, did you it was, did you eagerly volunteer for this. I did not. I was hiding because Susan's like, P, A, T people, so there's, like, a whole bunch of random people I don't know, and like, very small children. So I was trying to hide away from everything. But like, oh my, the singing. Singing was not good, right? He should have just, like, started the singing, and then, like, let everybody else go, because can you just start writing, everybody take over from there songs? People know, yeah, they were just, like, classic, like, Jingle Bells and things like this, right? And they even passed out song sheets for everybody. So, like, that was rough. That was the, the most awkward part was the the singing was not great, right? It was not, it was not wonderful. You sing a long time like, what else was done? No, they were saying a few Carols in that okay, most of the time it was just like, see, like you're sitting around and like Santa Claus walks through and says, Hi to everybody and all this stuff, right? So, so, yeah, but it was really cool. It was really neat seeing the vintage rail cars, right? It was pretty neat deal. It was, it was pretty cool. I guess they ran like, three rides that day, so they must have a lot of people running through there because it was full. It was pretty full when we were there, like, there was a lot of people. So it's pretty neat, though, probably took, it took, like, an hour ish, right? They just kind of go down. I don't remember exactly how far we're at, 10 to 15 miles or whatever, just kind of stop. I. I just come back the other way, right? But it's pretty neat. The best part, the coolest part, was the rail cars, right? It was really, really neat to see, like, the vintage railways and, like, see the cars and everything like that. And it was really neat. So, yeah, I thought it was good. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun. And how did Mr. And Mrs. Claus do? Oh, they did all right. They were, you know, Mrs. Claus, she didn't like it as much as Mr. Claus did, I don't think, but she did enjoy being on the training scene of little kids, right? She liked it. So they did a good job. They helped pass out the little gift bags to the train and all that stuff right at the end. So it's pretty good. Yeah, other than the guy singing, okay, should not be the guy singing, right, maybe the other train cars had more successful, like attendance, that can sing better, but our train car guy, who, boy, it was rough. It was a little tough, right? It was, Well, I'm sure, I'm sure they didn't intentionally, you know, staff everybody, yeah, well, no, I mean, these guys were kind of, they're normally, like, employees over the it's a freight railroad, so, like, you know, whatever. But, like, that's hilarious. Practices, Christmas carols. I guess that's the uh huh, oh, excuse me. Get better. Warm Up. Warm up for next time. Maybe, maybe, where did my other thing go? I was gonna send you something else because they had another Ah, here it is. I was like, I saved it and then I closed it, because I'm good, like that. You know, I remember what I'm doing all the time. Wait, no, why can I not excuse me? What? Oh, there. Haha, everything's fine, they go. So it's almost 2025 that means there are new things about to enter the public domain, right? And I just wanted to, well, that didn't send you the link. What the heck? This dumb thing? I wanted your opinion on some of these things and see if there's anything that you think is particularly interesting there. There we go. Kalau, right. So January 1, 2025 new works enter the public domain. Works from 1929 are open to all as well as sound recordings from 1924 Oh, right. So there's a big host of books and plays and films and two characters, right? Two quite large characters, oh, uh, important to American popular culture, and so number one, just be prepared for some terrible horror movie version of at least one of them, because they're always the first to jump on this. That's what people do. They do that because they're like, I can make $10 for free, but like novels, books and plays include the sound in the fury, yes, right? A Farewell to Arms. Arms. What? Yeah, oh my gosh, The Maltese Falcon, boom, and Red Harvest. Red

48:54

Harvest is weird, if you'd have read that book, is No, I don't think, no, I have not

Collin  49:00

grief. It's crazy. But a bunch of those ones I haven't heard. But those are the big oh well, hitters, All Quiet on the Western Front, yeah, oh yeah. All Quiet on the Western Front. What? Yeah, okay, well, yeah, films, uh, several Mickey Mouse animations. So we'll see that in court soon, I imagine, also, very unfortunate, also musical compositions, yes, being in the rain, exactly what? Exactly? Oh, tip toe through the tulips, yeah. Why do I know so many songs? Why do I know so many songs from the 20s? That's, you know what? Swimming, right? Yeah, Broadway Melody, what does this thing go live? Boom, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Rhapsody in Blue. Oh, okay, well, and two major character. Rogers, right, including Popeye, Popeye and Tintin that. Yeah, yeah. Those are big. Those are big, right? So, actually, Buck Rogers, man. Rogers potential need, need more Buck Rogers, right? That's what, yeah, yeah. Music, musical compositions, singing in the rain, ain't misbehaving. What? American in Paris, another Gershwin. Yeah, I'm, I'm really here for, yeah, of reading through one of these books, I don't know. I think it'd be a lot of fun. Oh, yeah, should that be we put some of these on the list. I think we should put some of these on the list. Oh, okay. And I think we should do them. This actually aligns well with we were talking about, you know, I think we had that conversation of, do we do like, a winter reading list or a summer reading list? How did that like Australia? No, I feel like, in a second book saying I feel like All Quiet on the Western Front, is a good winter novel, I guess. I mean, that's definitely not wrong. That is, that describes just readers, if you have it, like, I've already read a little bit of this, but like, here's the description. The book describes the German soldiers extreme physical and mental trauma during the war, as well as the detachment from the civilian life felt after many for returning home to war. Yeah, that's fun. I mean, yeah, these are firmly Lost Generation novels right here. Yeah, I think I would, I think I would lean more towards A Farewell to Arms, okay, but that's my vote right now, just looking at these, but I don't know, what are you pretty good. You've been able to marinate on this a little bit more, I mean, only for like, eight or so hours, because I read this early this afternoon. The Sound and the Fury, I don't know about, yeah. I mean, well, the real question is, how long is? Well, the sound of fury, yeah, Fauci is pretty good, little heavy, but, you know, this winter, so you know, we'll, yeah, we can ruminate on this, though. But if you want to use from this list, because that is will be timely. Yeah? Okay, real quick. I'm looking at these things. I don't know. Yeah, sound of the fury. This is saying a 326, pages, All Quiet on the Western Front, 250 pages, very well. To arms is another lengthy one at 355, that's a pretty long one. Remember that. Yeah, I don't know. This is John Steinbeck, cup of gold, his first novel. Yeah, it's an EB white. No, not EB white. Agatha Christie, Seven Dials, mystery. There you go. Perfect. I think about those three. Yeah, I'm kind of thinking about that, and I'm going to change. We're going to use the 1924 recording of Rhapsody in Blue for our intro and outro music. Now for oh, let's go. There we go. DREW All the other the other really important thing here, if Did you scroll down to the all the way at the bottom, there's art, right? Some copyright in art will also expire, including the treachery of images. Right? I right, including that famous painting, right. Boom. So they go, Well, I'm gonna have to spend some time working through this, there you go. I like this a lot. Yeah, I think, or maybe, oh, Shreveport DOM. What do? You very interesting. I think

54:46

it's kind of interesting.

Collin  54:47

Like, this is like a cool thing. Like this means that maybe these things you will see soon, right, some incarnations of this will be bad, right? If you saw last year, I didn't see. It. But like, I was aware that because Winnie the Pooh became part of the public domain, there was immediately, like, a really stupid Winnie the Pooh horror movie, and it was horrible. I mean, I'm assuming it was, I didn't see it, obviously, because number one, horror movies are not my jam, and number two, that's just like, blatantly trying to make $5 like, that's all it was. It's there. The horror movies are notoriously cheap to make, and make relatively good money, just for low effort. Like, they will make something out of this somehow, but, but that also means that you could see things like Red Harvest, like, this is a interesting book. Like, if you've never read Red Harvest, it's like a very like we have, this is a very weird natural hammock, like, we have an unnamed protagonist, right? It's kind of, it's kind of like A Fistful of Dollars, right? Seen that clinically, yeah, right. So Red Harvest, basically is Fistful of Dollars, except for, like, in like, the 30s or whatever, like a mining town, right? Detective comes in trying to do a thing, ends up playing both sides against each other to try to get, like, the upper hand and figure out this thing, right? It's all, it's basically that. It's, it's basically physical dollars, but in like, a 30s era town, right? Or 20s, I guess. So that's kind of what it is. So it's real snarky, real crazy, like there's lots of really weird twists and turns. All of a sudden, the guy is kind of a jerk, right? It's kind of hard to follow sometimes, because him writing style is very like, and so sure, like, the way they talk is very clipped, and you're like, wait, what? And everybody has a weird name, right? Because it's like, the 20s, and so they have all these, like, crazy gangster names and stuff. Okay? Well, that that might, you know, I'm being swung a little bit more away from World War One trauma, thinking more about Maltese Falcon or Red Harvest than those. May be better falcons, pretty good. But I don't know, maybe just do that, and maybe we do go into a world war. One thing for the winter, I don't know. I mean, that is a pretty good winter eats topic, it is. That's what I'm thinking. I still think that's what we got to do. Yeah, I'm still thinking either, what did I say? I don't know about all quite on the Western Front. I'm not sure about that one yet. I don't know if I want to drive that into the winter, but it may be good to do. Maybe it is wintery. Very wintery. Okay, not that one. What was the other one that was thinking of? Farewell to Arms. Farewell to Arms. Yes. Anyway, yeah. I think those two are on my, my, my top tier, right now. All right, sounds good. Okay, thank you that I yeah, they go, okay. Now, because they're in public domain, what can we do differently with them on the podcast? I guess we can, oh, we don't know. We can read more. We can read them. We can we, if you want to, it's we can do. We just do. Hey, do you want the audiobook version the over Do you want to do an audio book of farewell arms? I'm not

58:27

really sure I want to do,

Collin  58:33

but we can. We can think about it. We'll get creative here. We'll see if we can expand on our thing here. But yeah, that can be pretty good. Yeah, right, that's what I'm voting for. That's what I'm going for now, yeah, okay, well, we'll talk offline about that, but that topic to get that lined up. But yeah, man, that means we can start, we could start next week, reading through, yeah, a book to have to figure out. So I can make sure I have it, though. But

59:00

I too, need to make sure I do whatever,

Collin  59:13

nice, very nice, other thing that I just wanted your opinion on. Okay, right? So this is really not related to anything, so insert segue music here. Anyway, I found

59:28

a list. It is. Rhapsody in Blue. That's our segment. All right,

Collin  59:33

let's go. I found a list today, right, entitled most iconic sandwiches in every state, right? So the problem is, the problem here is, so as one does, you go, Oh, what is the most iconic sandwich in my state? And so I wing on down to the M's here. Here, right? Thinking about all the different choices that it could be, and what do I discover, according to this website, is the most iconic sandwich in Missouri. I'm very I'm very concerned for which direction this is going to go, and I don't think I'm okay with Well, I did do one second of research on here. Of course, it's something from St Louis, because St Louis co opt everything in Missouri do, and every best list about Missouri comes from St Louis. Okay, now I'm not saying that St Louis is bad, but I'm not saying, but I am saying, rather the St Louis does not represent all of Missouri. Okay, very right. And so whenever you tell me that Missouri's most iconic sandwich is a hot salami sandwich, oh, a sandwich that I have never eaten as an almost lifelong Missouri resident, I call shenanigans, right? I call No,

1:01:03

I

Collin  1:01:04

call shenanigans, right? A simple sandwich of sliced grilled salami on a French roll with cheese and onions. No, no. Shenanigans called I disagree. I don't believe that a hot salami sandwich represents the best in Missouri? Number one? No, that's kind of not very exciting, right, right? Not saying that this website has all the other good answers, because I did look at some of the other states, but I cannot comment on them, right? I don't know if Nebraska really does love Reuben sandwiches. I don't know if you live in Nebraska, I would assume everything is 100% correct. It's just right. They got wrong as well. I mean, again, I don't know, because it Nebraska is going to have this problem as well. All of Nebraska culture is going to emanate from Omaha, Omaha, yeah, yeah. That's because it's, like, the biggest thing. And so they'll be like, Oh yeah, all of Nebraska is this, even though, if you've been to any other parts of Nebraska, right, the empty parts, just corn, corn, corn, also known as everything else in Nebraska, right? I can't, they probably can't speak for right? So I wanted to know here right now, what is a better Missouri sandwich? Oh, then, then a hot salami sandwich? Right? Salami? Oh my gosh, right. What do we put on a Missouri thing? Or do we have to make this, like the Ozarks version of the sample, right? Yeah, if we don't want to call out, if we don't want people in like Kansas City being mad at us, right? Although I will say already, I can just, I would rather have a Kansas City barbecue sandwich than this, whatever this is, right? Then you just get into whether it's good barbecue or not, and we're not here to have that debate. That's true. We're not here with you. Is better than or not? I'm not. I'm not. I'm especially not equipped for that, because I don't just really love barbecue that much. So like, I'm ill equipped to enter a barbecue fray, right? So I don't, yeah, but as far as meat ingredients on a sandwich goes, what, what needs to be on this because I feel like salami is just not it right, like that doesn't feel right to me. No, you know, like it just doesn't feel like it's in the right running. You know, I feel like, go ahead. This is tough, if you want to. I mean, I immediately am drawn to something from the town that I currently live in. It is said to have been invented here. Oh, and I have, I have, I have not had this as for many reasons as you will quickly discover. Whenever I tell you just the name of this, you tell me if you've heard of this. I had never heard of but people from this area have. And this is a much smaller area, and it's kind of a thing. If you google this, it's a thing for Missouri. It's called the goober burger. You heard of I have heard of this.

1:04:27

Yes, okay, okay,

Collin  1:04:28

so, you know the monstrosity this is, if it's, it's peanut butter on top of a hamburger. Yes, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I would not as a thing. That is a thing. It is a thing. People like it, people, people would vote for that. I don't know. It's reach, very regional, very regional, local, very not influenced by St Louis, so it immediately has appeal, right? It's not with that, yeah, yeah. Uh. Yeah, I don't know, yeah, see, I would think it either would have to be some version of of a cheeseburger or, like, I don't know, maybe, like, a

1:05:13

fried chicken Patty, I don't know. Like, that's what I'm thinking up here. Yeah, right. Like, so, here you go. So here, here's

Collin  1:05:19

what we can think about, right for meat, right? Missouri's largest agricultural products are either cattle, hog or chicken, right? We do have a lot of chicken in Missouri, so a lot do, do we need to have, like, some sort of, like, chicken fried chicken sandwich? Yeah, right. Should that be it with, like, some things like that. Should it be something like, more interesting, right? Like, because I just feel like salami sandwich is not really, oh, that's not it, you know. Like, it's just not very cool, right? Some of these other ones on here, like, are much more, you know, befitting, like the Alaska one. It's like the salmon sandwich, you know that one trash,

1:06:09

wow,

Collin  1:06:10

it's a little lame, right? They probably could have done a little better there. Let me send you this thing I buy. I forgot to, I was gonna send you this, right? So, like, I don't want to, like, steal somebody else's sandwich, right? But I just feel like salami is not it, right? I just don't think that's true, right? I feel like the Connecticut one is correct. It's fried clam roll. That seems accurate, but again, I don't know like I would, yeah, I think like a chicken, I like the the idea of like a chicken, fried chicken, something that would be good, yeah? Like on sandwich, yeah, right? Like, like, a big chicken cutlet thing, chicken, fried chicken cutlet on a sandwich, right? Like, lettuce, tomato, little mayonnaise, right? Mustard, onion, I feel like this is the way. This is a much more exciting, interesting thing than hot salami, right? Don't know, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of there's a lot of interesting things coming up here, like, I just sorry i I got distracted. I was scrolling down that's fair, just trying to see North Dakota claims the sloppy joe slush burger. And this feels like it's too northern for that. Yeah. Well, this says sloppy joes, or loose meat sandwiches with the tomato based sauce. Most people point to Iowa as a sloppy Joe's birthplace. However, there's a bar in Key West Florida named sloppy Joe's that claims the sandwich was invented in Cuba. Origins aside, North Dakota's claims Sloppy Joe is his favorite. How, how did you arrive at that that is true? I do. I do now again, this, this list claims Oklahoma's sandwich is a chicken fried steak sandwich, but we all know that it's the Oklahoma Smash. Bro, absolutely right. We all know that that's true. So like I do, there are some entries on this list that I do question the validity of the entry, right? So I don't know, right? Some of them are just like to eat Texas. They're like, Oh, Bruce, get sandwich. Like, okay, well, yes, that tracks. But like, that's also kind of a layup, right? Not just, yeah. Also, I do know that there are a lot of places in Missouri that do serve a mean pork tenderloin sandwich. So I would, if we had to vote, I would, I would cast about a pork tenderloin because that, yeah, that is, I've had or seen that on menus, like, far and wide across Missouri, right, like, all over the place. And that is, I know a lot of people do like that, and I feel like that's a really good solution. Yes, I will agree with that. I just feel better about eating because, like, if you want to think about like a sandwich that represents a state, right? The fact that you can find this on menus statewide, I think, is important. Because, have I ever seen like this Italian meat sandwich anywhere, no, right? I don't think you can have a sandwich that represents a state that served at like a restaurant in St Louis. This doesn't feel correct to me right now. If you want to say like, most famous sandwich, that's different, right? That's a different sentence. But that's not what this. Claims to do okay, this is a sandwich that represents the state, the most iconic, yes, in the state most iconic. And having been a lifelong Missouri resident, as you have been and never eaten the sandwich, I feel like we can speak with some authority on this, that this is not like I can't I've never walked into a random restaurant. And because we are our Father's children, we have walked into many a random restaurant, many, right, many random, just completely out there restaurants. And you know what I've never seen on the menu, a Hot Salon? You know what I've seen on a billion menus? Pork Tenderloin sandwich? Lots of those. Yeah, lots of those. So, like, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking that maybe we need to, you know, do something here about this. Because I think we need to raise awareness for the Missouri pork tenderloin sandwich. I feel like, okay, I think this list says like Indiana, maybe Indiana. Maybe I don't know what you do up there in Indiana. I don't know anything about Indiana, except for Gary Indiana, from The Music Man, right? I know. I know Collins twin is from India, Larry Bird. So up. I know about Indiana. I don't know if you actually eat pork tenderloin sandwiches, but you know where they do eat a lot poor tenderloin sandwiches. That's Missouri. I think, I think that it's a better fit here. So Indiana. Let us know if you actually eat or two. Is this a thing? Is this thing? Because I know it is in Missouri, right? I know that is true. So now again, have I been to, like, every restaurant Missouri? No, but I know that I've never had this hot salami sandwich, and I've lived here basically my whole life. I'm even looking at a diner here in my local town that is a a sandwich and spud shop. It's been around for, I'm gonna say, 50 years or more. I feel like this is pretty authoritative on the kind of sandwiches that would be offered in Missouri. Here are their options. You can get a cheese sandwich, ham, pastrami, Turkey, roast beef, super combo, Turkey club, grilled chicken breast. BLT, polo sausage, Reuben tuna and chicken salad. You know what? I didn't see on there, hot salons, hot salami. I did not see a hot salami sandwich. That's fair. That is fair. And I think that pretty much sums that up. Yeah, salami only appears on here with a ham and salami thing. So, yeah, that doesn't, that doesn't, that doesn't count at all. No, right, that's not how this works. No, it was a yeah, they claimed we saw, we did research. I think they're wrong. That's true. Let me I just pulled up another random restaurant here. I'm gonna see what they have on their sandwiches, lots of burgers, all pork tenderloin, see, I pulled up a menu from that random diner that we wouldn't ate at this summer. We went to the lake. You know what they have on their sandwich menu? Fortunately, no salami ka blam. No hot salami sandwich, none, zero, right? So I guess you could also make the case for catfish sandwich, because that's kind of far and wide as a river influence state that Missouri is, you know what, but that that's definitely more, more Ozark, but they're not that, you know what. They have lots of big catfish the Missouri River, Missouri River that comes halfway through the whole entire state. So, like I'm just saying, potentially maybe runner up catfish sandwich, but that, I would agree that is quite an Ozark thing, right, with the chain of lakes and whatever, but yeah, like, right here, bang, pork tenderloin sandwich. Okay, look at this, the power of Google Maps. Okay, this is what it's this is what it's actually meant to be used for. Okay, I'm gonna, so, yeah. I just wanted your opinion, because I felt that this was incorrect. I felt that this was wrong. I felt that that we have to do better than hot salami sandwich. So just wanted your and as an additional um component of this research, I will go interview a native St Louis as part of this,

1:14:47

okay, report back to turn around and ask

Collin  1:14:50

yes, Hey, honey. No, she's, she's, she's not in the office. It's too bright, okay, lightning in here. I. Okay, I just want you to know I just went on Google Maps again. This is the power of Google Maps. I picked a random restaurant in Kirksville, Missouri, great. Oh, you know, pretty close to St Louis. You think it's on the other end of the state, though, it's very north Missouri, very northern Missouri, and you know what it has on its menu, pork tenderloin. Pork Tenderloin. Yeah, so a restaurant in the extreme southern like Arkansas border has a pork tenderloin sandwich, a restaurant that is, like, you know, a couple miles away from Iowa pork tenderloin sandwich. Neither of them have a hot slobby sandwich that, my friends, that is a bit of evidence, that is a strong piece of evidence, right here, right So, there we go, bang. It's what, like this and refuted answer on so here, this is my official This is my official statement saying that I feel like at least right, if we're gonna, if we're gonna make a Missouri State sandwich, I feel like Port 21 has to be in the running. Okay, I'm not saying it's official yet. I'm not going that far yet. Think we could think about this some more, but I by think that we should put it in the the list to be voted on, right? I agree. Chow Hound, you've been called out. Yeah, wrong. Oh brother. Podcast has takes umbrage with your list, right? At least two of Missouri residents Disagree. Disagree. I didn't get interviewed for this. That's all I'm saying. So I do indeed take Umbridge. So we'll put, we'll put, we'll put port canola, potentially on the top five list for Missouri sandwiches right down later. But I think it makes a good claim like this, I'm willing to go to the mattress. Okay? And with that, I think we'll bring these shenanigans to a close with a bit of a haiku. If you have nothing else today, I death. That is all. That's all I have. All right? Haiku to wrap up the busy Christmas season guests have departed silent halls and dimming lights holiday reprieve like the way that wrapped up. Yep, especially given that my daughter is counting down the days to Christmas now. Oh, already, that's

1:18:08

fun, girl, we gotta calm it down a little bit. That

Collin  1:18:10

was lots of other holidays in the middle, right? First of all, where's the countdown to New Year's Okay, where's that? Where's countdown to Arbor Day? Yes, that's a good point. Good point. No, we just, she's already marking it on her calendar and counting. Oh, my goodness. What the heck that was like. I'm sorry, what she was like, only three, four more days, like, first of all, stop. Okay, all right, we're gonna put this here. We'll put this on the over the calendar. Friday, April 25 is Arbor Day. We need to have for that week's episode. We're gonna do something about trees. Okay, top five, a five trees, trees. Top Five. Best Missouri trees. Oh, yes, okay. Book it, just for her, just so she has something else look for doing the drink right? Other oaks, oh, yeah, degrees, you know,

1:19:24

there you go see, okay, okay, we'll take care of Okay, perfect. I'll start making my list right now. Okay, where my binder, where my notebook, go? Move over, Ultimate Warrior quote, here comes Harbor Day list.

Collin  1:19:52

That's hilarious. I think it's the calendar right now. Yes, this. Update only this event that we don't change the title of. Yeah. Set a reminder a couple of weeks ahead of that too, so we can be like, Oh yeah, where did I put that

1:20:13

today? I'll just do two. It's okay.

Collin  1:20:17

Well, we'll have that look forward to. Man, April's gonna be a great month. Oh, it is,

1:20:22

right. And stay tuned for winter reading books. How? How depressed will this be a good idea? We don't know. We

1:20:33

don't know. We'll try it once, and then that means the summer reading book will have to be much jollier than normal, right? That'll be

Collin  1:20:39

watch. I think that's what we're gonna realize is we're gonna be like, Oh man, we're just gonna read Mary Poppins or, yeah, like something real, yeah. So, all right, we'll work on that. I will think about these two, and I'll give a vote for for these books. And we will

1:21:00

grudge along. All right, here we go. Sounds good, yeah, into the trenches we go, apparently, okay, well, here Wait, one of them is trenches. One of them has Italian lakes, and I'm pretty sure so think about

Collin  1:21:19

that tells a lot.

1:21:20

Yeah, okay, well, mystery, Love you. Love Me too. Bye.
