Transcript

You know what I love so much is when we do a show

>> Speaker A: You know what I love so much is when we do a show and nobody's talking to us.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: And you go and you look like you're going to bed and there's all these people hello? Hello? Hey, is this thing on? Hello? And then I'll I'll write to them. We can't see what you're typing unless you're doing it in Twitter. That's the easiest way for us to see it.

>> Speaker C: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: Okay. And then the next hello? Hello, mike? Hello?

>> Speaker A: It'S like, damn it. Well, what's there to eat?

>> Speaker D: Get it off Napoleon. Make yourself a dang quesadilla.

>> Speaker C: Fine.


Darren: I started protein today because I'm hungry

>> Speaker E: Here it comes. Television's most exciting hour of cash and prizes, the fabulous Irritable Dad Syndrome. Now give it up for your hosts, Mike and Darren.

>> Speaker C: Hi, I'm Darren.

>> Speaker A: I'm Mike.

>> Speaker C: Welcome to Irritable Dad Syndrome. We're thrilled that you're here. On this particular episode, I'm going to talk about a movie that's called Fall. And if you are afraid of heights or if you get vertigo.

>> Speaker A: Yeah, I remember.

>> Speaker C: It's a good one. It's a really good one.

>> Speaker A: I'm going to talk about the beach vacations in general, but specifically the beach and my feelings on the topic.

>> Speaker C: Yeah. How are you doing?

>> Speaker A: I'm okay. I'm tired.

>> Speaker C: Yeah, I am too.

>> Speaker A: I started protein today because I was looking, I'm hungry because I don't want to say I'm dieting. I'm changing how I eat.

>> Speaker C: It's a lifestyle change.

>> Speaker A: I'm making a lifestyle change.

>> Speaker C: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: And, I'm concerned that I am losing weight. But then I was reading I don't want to lose muscle along. I m don't want to be like a pudgy. I don't want to lose all the weight, but then I'm just a pudge ball because I've lost all my muscle and I've learned it doesn't work like that.

>> Speaker C: No.

>> Speaker A: Anyway. But I've also noticed that I'm very close to injuring myself and so I want to protect I can tell. I can tell in the gym. I injure myself all the time in the gym.

>> Speaker C: You hit your head walking in.

>> Speaker B: No.

>> Speaker A: Pulling stuff. Something moves the way it shouldn't move. I pulled my chest doing a deadlift about a month ago.

>> Speaker C: Don't do that.

>> Speaker A: Well, you don't use your chest when you do a deadlift. That's like pulling your ass doing an arm curl. It doesn't make sense.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: And it was just, I wasn't even doing real weight. I was doing like a warm up, like where you lift the bar. Ridiculous.

>> Speaker C: And apparently you pulled muscles warming up.

>> Speaker A: Yeah, one muscle went one way and it wasn't supposed to go that way.

>> Speaker B: Ah.

>> Speaker A: And I went anyway. I researched it on the interwebs for about two to three minutes. Read a couple of ads.

>> Speaker C: Ah, very thorough.

>> Speaker A: Read an article written by some guy that apparently has a canal going up his arm, a vein, and came to a conclusion. this protein powder gives me exactly what I need. I take some in the morning. I can take some in the evening combined with what I'm already eating. Because when I don't go off the reservation, I eat well. I eat pretty well when I don't go off the reservation. It's after, like, when you leave. And by go off the reservation, what I mean is I'll pop a big bowl of popcorn and pour about two cups of butter on it and load it up with salt, and then top it with gummy bears and eat chocolate until I pass out.

>> Speaker D: I heard your dad went into a restaurant and ate everything in the restaurant, and they had to close the restaurant.

>> Speaker A: If I don't do that, if when you leave tonight, I just eat an apple and go to bed, I'll wake up weighing less. But I don't want to weigh less muscle. I want to weigh less fat.

>> Speaker C: Okay.

>> Speaker A: So, I'm building a wall of protein between that and so you're telling.

>> Speaker C: Me by eating the protein powder that helps you keep muscle while you lose fat?

>> Speaker A: I believe so.

>> Speaker B: Okay.


Jack: I'm on a subscription service for magic spoon cereal

>> Speaker A: My point is and it's also, by.

>> Speaker C: The way, don't take diet advice from a, comedy podcast.

>> Speaker A: No. And they have banana cream flavor shut up. that's what I have up there.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: That's what I have up banana cream flavored protein. So I could put that in my fruit smoothies.

>> Speaker A: You can.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: Because I do love me the I love fruit smoothies.

>> Speaker A: I'm actually thinking about doing the banana cream protein powder in the liquid part of the crunch cup that I showed you the other day.

>> Speaker C: You didn't show me that.

>> Speaker A: I didn't show it to you? No, you told me about it.

>> Speaker C: Well, we'll see.

>> Speaker A: The crunch cup is a marvel of engineering, Wherein you put the liquid on the outside of the cup, m, in another cup, and then the crunchy cereal is in the center, and you can pour the cereal into your mouth, and it will pour milk in with it. So you can eat cereal while you're driving a car? Yeah, I only choke once. Does that work with, like, shredded wheat? No, actually, it says in the instruction thing, they list cereals that it works with.

>> Speaker C: It's been tested with guessing Cheerios.

>> Speaker A: They point out that Shredded Wheat is not advisable. And I will go on record as saying that Life cereal is pretty shady.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: It doesn't act right in there.

>> Speaker C: Do you eat the regular Life cereal or the Cinnamon Life?

>> Speaker A: Here's another thing. Well, Cinnamon Life okay, here's another thing, m. I don't even know if they make Grape Nuts. Stuff is asking about Grape Nuts. I was looking for Grape Nuts the other day.

>> Speaker C: Yeah, they make grape nuts.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: We are also ordering magic spoon cereal. Have you heard of magic spoon cereal?

>> Speaker B: Huh?

>> Speaker A: Yeah, we have that. And I'm on a subscription service.

>> Speaker C: It's like $10 a box.

>> Speaker A: It's good.

>> Speaker C: Is it $10 a box good?

>> Speaker A: Have you seen the box about $8 a box. Yeah, the box is about the size.

>> Speaker C: Of the I got a question.

>> Speaker A: We have six boxes of it up there.

>> Speaker C: How did this come up? Because the last time I was in the Kroger, I like cereal. Yeah, I like cereal, too, but I never look at the Jesus. I never look at the Kashi side of the cereal, because I'm not going to eat any of that.

>> Speaker A: Kashi cereal is pretty good. No, it's not. No, it's not.

>> Speaker C: It's not.

>> Speaker A: Delicious.

>> Speaker C: It's not. You get a bud of Kashi cereal and it tastes like you're eating the box. So you slice a banana and you.

>> Speaker A: Put it on there and you get.

>> Speaker C: It tastes like you're eating a box with banana.

>> Speaker A: I want a banana in my cereal.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: Unless it's processed and dried and covered with sugar. My point is, if you order the subscription magic spoon, it's cheaper than if you buy it in a store.

>> Speaker C: I don't know what to get a prescription for. Magic spoon subscription. Oh, okay. I had to see my pharmacist.

>> Speaker A: Yeah.

>> Speaker C: No, because anyway, I was looking at the regular cereal that human people eat, and then I turned to see what the freaks buy, and I see all the Kashi cereal, and then there's magic Spoon. I'm like magic spoon.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: And it's $10 and the box has to feed. Maybe if you stretch it three bowls.

>> Speaker A: Of cereal a box will last a week.

>> Speaker C: No, it won't.

>> Speaker A: One bowl of cereal a day.

>> Speaker C: A, thimble full. No. Are you talking like a well, I'm not talking like a Jethro Bodine bowl of cereal.

>> Speaker A: A Crunch cup serving it will last five across. I've done it. I've been doing it. Now I will tell you this.

>> Speaker C: that ain't enough cereal to fill me up.

>> Speaker A: Some of the magic spoon is amazing. It's like I'm basically eating chocolate Cheerios now, and I feel like I'm cheating. Other cheating on you. Other magic spoon tastes like it tastes like they took shredded pig and put it in the thing and said, well, this is Apple Jacks. And you're like, that ain't Apple Jack. No. So I'll tell for our listeners, the fruit is probably the best. It tastes like Fruit Loops.


This cereal is the most serviceable cereal I've ever had

the chocolate tastes like chocolate Cheerios. The Blueberry muffin may be my favorite, but it fights the Crunch cup. It's a little difficult with the Crunch cup. It's got so much of the sugary stuff on it that it gets a little sticky. The frosted suck it. No, frosted is like somebody thought, well, this is what Corn Pops taste like. Maybe in hell. Corn pops in hell. The peanut butter is serviceable, but it tastes like the peanut butter cereal.

>> Speaker C: I know what peanut butter means.

>> Speaker A: What do you mean it's serviceable? I mean that if honey, this cereal.

>> Speaker C: Is the most serviceable cereal I've ever had.

>> Speaker A: I think if you bought peanut butter cereal ah. And it wasn't healthy and you ate this, you would be like, what is this? But if you're in a lab and.

>> Speaker C: Someone gave you be going to a.

>> Speaker A: Lab next week, and someone gave you a bowl of this stuff, and they said, Think of what this could taste like, and think good stuff. And you eat it, and you're like, it's got a hint of peanut butter. And they would go, It's peanut butter. That's what it is. Put it in the box.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: The cinnamon roll is slightly offensive. It's a little overpowering. It's like, let's make a cinnabon cereal. It's like, slow down. And I've tried the Cinnabon cereal. You're not cinnabon.

>> Speaker C: They made a Cinnabon flavor shredded Wheat cereal, and it was not good. It did not taste like Cinnabon.

>> Speaker A: So those are the six I think I went through all six flavors in the variety pack that I get now.

>> Speaker C: Do they have monster cereals, like, for Halloween?

>> Speaker B: No. Okay.

>> Speaker A: They have some scary pictures on some of them for some reason.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: on the peanut butter, I'll show you. The peanut butter has, like, a cowboy.

>> Speaker C: Rope and a cow.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker C: Well, does it come with a spoon?

>> Speaker A: No, but there is a magic spoon, spoon and bowl that you can, like, box tops. Get enough of those and a mortgage. You can afford the bowl and the magic.

>> Speaker C: I should hope so. As I say, for $10 a box, I better be getting something free with it.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker C: A race car on the back of the box, there's, like, this insane maze. I'm like, no, don't take me till I'll be dead before I figure out.

>> Speaker A: How to get through the maze. The only thing about it is it tastes up front. It tastes like the real stuff. It's got an OD aftertaste. And by that I mean you start eating the Fruit Loops. It tastes like you're eating Fruit Loops. When you finish a bite of Fruit Loops and they've gone down your brain for a second, says, hey, did he just eat Styrofoam? Like, those little packing peanuts?

>> Speaker C: Yeah, I know what Styrofoam is.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: I mean, like, the ones where they tried to make them, like, healthy, where the dolphins could eat them and they were fine.

>> Speaker C: Like, the fiber thing.

>> Speaker A: We spent so much time making those dolphins happy.

>> Speaker C: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: Anyway, so we haven't tried the cookies, by the way. I like dolphins.

>> Speaker C: Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

>> Speaker A: If you're a dolphin, there's a plethora of other flavors, but we haven't tried those.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: And it's Daddy's cereal, and Daddy puts it in a special place because it's so expensive. I told the kids we're not doing the thing where we eat Daddy's Mercedes, cereal that Daddy needs because he's fat. You guys eat your Nissan Central. Each bite. You're like, this is disgusting. Oh, my God. Who's this? And then I get stuck having to eat your sugar, wheats. And then I get fat again or remain fat.

>> Speaker C: Now, is the Magic Spoon cereal is it less sugar?

>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Okay. And I eat it with oat milk for different reasons. Not because I'm, because oats don't have, teat. Yeah, we've gone through this. I don't like liquid that comes from a cow's teat.

>> Speaker B: Right.

>> Speaker A: I mean, I enjoy it sometimes. I did try magic spoon with regular. That's some tasty. The tasty meat to ball. It's pretty good.

>> Speaker C: It's pretty good. I can't believe that the one day I see Magic Spoon cereal, you just bring it up.


You save up for a few weeks. And get a box, it's pretty good

>> Speaker A: That's not on the run the first day that you've seen it?

>> Speaker C: I saw it, yesterday or the last day I was at Kroger.

>> Speaker A: You save up for a few weeks.

>> Speaker C: And get a box, it's pretty good. I don't believe you.

>> Speaker A: I refuse to believe you. You know what? You know what? I have less than a serving left of the blueberry.

>> Speaker B: Okay?

>> Speaker A: I'll give you the rest of the blueberry. You take it home and enjoy it.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: Put it in a little, shot glass with milk and try it out.

>> Speaker C: That's like $6 worth of cereal.


Casey's lemon pie sold at Casey's. M, that's where we make it

>> Speaker E: It is time now for the Casey's Story of the week.

>> Speaker C: How you been? I'm doing good, and I'm just going to say it right now. Two words damn you. You brought up Casey's. Yeah, and I had to go by.

>> Speaker A: Casey's to try don't have to go to Casey's.

>> Speaker C: No, I had to go by Casey's to try it out. Okay. I wanted to see what the big deal was with Casey's. And, I got there, and I told you that I really like their lemon pies. Well, dude, I'm addicted to the lemon pie.

>> Speaker A: Everybody's got their thing.

>> Speaker C: I have went there I think I've went there on five different occasions now. And I walk in, I buy a lemon pie. Casey's lemon pie. Casey's lemon pie.

>> Speaker A: Not Hostess lemon pie. Nope. Sold at Casey's.

>> Speaker C: Casey's lemon pie sold at Casey's. I wish that I didn't have to, but I do. It's a problem. Now, here's the thing. The last time I walked into Casey's, actually, I went by Casey's on the way over here. Usually I get one on the way home and a lemon pie. I had some time to kill, so I went by before, and I paid. And then the dude checked my $5 bill to make sure that it wasn't, confederate. And I'm like, do you get confederate?

>> Speaker A: counterfeit.

>> Speaker C: I was like, do you have a lot of people trying to pass off fake fives? And he said that actually they did, which I didn't think that was a thing anymore, because as few people that use cash anywho the time before that, I'm walking in there, and there's someone at the register, and I go over and I get my lemon pie. There's a dude on the phone, and he's standing right where the wine is, which, by the way, if you're looking for good wine, go to Casey's. I'm sorry, I'm not going to buy wine at a gas station. You rude, I digress. Yeah, I don't drink wine, so I'm not going to buy wine anywhere.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: He's standing by the wine, and he's got his phone and he looks at the lady, working the register and he says, do you sell wine on Sunday?

>> Speaker A: Is there a phone that looks like that anymore?

>> Speaker C: Yes, it is a Breaking Bad flip phone. And the lady said, yeah. He goes okay. So then he walks to one part of the store, walks to another corner of the store, walks to somewhere else in the store and then he walks back kind of near the door and he asks her and this is exactly how the conversation went, where's the wine? And she said wine.

>> Speaker A: And he said, not do you have wine? Where is the expected wine in this gas station?

>> Speaker C: Yeah, he said, Where's the wine? And she said wine. And he said wine. And then she said wine. To which he replied wine. And she said Wine that you drink. and I'm wanting to go, what other type of wine is it?

>> Speaker A: What the hell?

>> Speaker C: And I've got my lemon pie in my hand and I'm like wine.

>> Speaker A: So like a guy whining about over.

>> Speaker C: There, I don't know, and he finally says yeah. And she just points like it's right behind you where you were.

>> Speaker A: And she was.

>> Speaker B: Pissed. Yeah.

>> Speaker A: Back there in the toilet. M, that's where we make it.

>> Speaker C: It's like just flashback to two minutes when you were standing right there. But how many times do you have to say wine before somebody figures out what the other person is talking about?

>> Speaker A: Wine is not a difficult concept too.

>> Speaker C: No, they've been drinking it since Jesus. Yeah. Wine. Wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine. Yeah, wine that you drink.

>> Speaker A: I mean, the only acceptable other than that is like this is a gas station. We have fruit striped gum, lemon pies.

>> Speaker C: Lemon pies, marlboros handmade taquitos. Handmade taquitos.

>> Speaker A: Thanks Jeremy. Those wax bottles with the little teaspoon of pop in them right, and wine.

>> Speaker B: Right.

>> Speaker C: They do not have magic spoon.

>> Speaker E: Cereal though.


Casey says he got sick of not knowing anything about wine

This has been the Casey's story of the week.

>> Speaker A: I am all about the box wine. I actually have a new box of wine up. Yeah. The nighthawk cabernet savignon.

>> Speaker B: Savignon.

>> Speaker C: That's a good savignon. Honestly, I don't know how you know what it is. I don't judge people who drink wine.

>> Speaker A: Yeah, they're pretentious.

>> Speaker C: I just don't know how they do it because I don't know how someone can actually stomach it because it gives me just ridiculously, horrible heartburn.

>> Speaker A: Well, there's a couple of things. Yeah, there's a couple of things. The reason I drink wine is I got sick of not knowing anything about wine.

>> Speaker B: Right.

>> Speaker A: And I read an article that went through what the Pinot, whatever is the Cabernet. The different things I'm like, I'm going to try each one.

>> Speaker A: So I at least know what genre of wine I like because they all sounded so different. Like, one type is best when you're cooking. Another goes with the chicken and the fish. Another goes with the beef and whatever.

>> Speaker C: Who are you trying to impress?

>> Speaker B: Me?

>> Speaker A: What's?

>> Speaker C: Not impressed?

>> Speaker A: We're the only people that you know. So I know what I like with beer. I know I don't like IPAs unless I feel like I'm getting, like, a wild hair up my ass. I don't like stout. I'm a lager guy. Yeah. a German hellis, that's my jam. but wine, I don't know anything, and I just at least want to know what genre. So if I ever find myself in a place where there's only wine, I'm not stuck saying, well, give me this, and then find out it's some kind of cooking wine that gives you scabies. So I progressively I bought just, like, a different type of wine, over the period of months. And then I zoned in on the Cabernet savignon. I know it's cabernet savignon. Stop with your comments.

>> Speaker B: I know.

>> Speaker A: It's the cabernet. Nobody's commenting. Nobody's watching. This point is and the merlot. Everyone says merlot. I am not drinking merlot. Everybody thinks merlot because that's the one you learn in grade school. The teacher is like, it's merlot.

>> Speaker B: Sideways.

>> Speaker A: Yeah, well, I haven't seen that movie, but yeah, I know, it's right there. You let me borrow it ten years ago.

>> Speaker C: So in sideways.

>> Speaker D: Yeah.

>> Speaker C: The, dude is a major wine connoisseur, knows everything about, goes to the tastings. And he and his buddy are going, before his buddy gets married, they're going on a wine tasting trip. And he is such a wine snob. and he gets like you when you talk to someone who doesn't like octong.

>> Speaker A: Baby, those people don't exist.

>> Speaker E: But go on.

Ryan: We saw Toad the Wet Sprocket last night. It was a very good show

Now back to you guys in the studio.

>> Speaker A: So we saw Toad the Wet Sprocket last night.

>> Speaker C: How was that?

>> Speaker A: That was good. Yeah, they're very chill. They're very laid back. You want a chilled laid back? there was an exceptionally drunk individual three seats down from us, who thinks I was his best friend. He had to keep coming out, me and Bess had to get out because him and his handler I think it was his wife, but she was clearly there to keep him out. Of prison, he would just, like, throw.

>> Speaker B: His army.

>> Speaker A: I don't know what he said. And I was like, yeah. Bess was like, do you know him? No, I know that type of guy. I've run into that type of guy. Yeah, you run into that type of guy at least once or twice every few years. But I don't know that in particular one. But, in between the first band that we didn't know about until they played the one song, it's like, oh, that band.

>> Speaker C: Oh, marcy Playground.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: Sex and candy.

>> Speaker C: Anyway, you didn't like that?

>> Speaker A: I don't like it's.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: I like that. I recognize I was like, oh, they're that band.

>> Speaker C: Can you use.

>> Speaker A: Words, Mike? So they get done and Drunk as Guy gets up. And apparently he's got a fan two rows behind who's like and they're talking and drunk as Guy keeps reaching over and grabbing his shoulder, partially to keep himself upright, but mostly to accentuate his alcohol induced points. That nobody gives a shit about.

>> Speaker B: Right.

>> Speaker A: And I watched the spirit begin to die in Bearded Man. And I saw the regret enter his face. Like, I should not be in this conversation with this man. How do I get out of here? Huh? And he started to leave. And that's when Drunken Guy came out for like the fifth time.

>> Speaker A: And a couple of times while Toad was on, he would get on like.

>> Speaker B: I got to.

>> Speaker A: Get on the ah, push out of the way. And then his handler is walking behind me. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. He's just oh my god. We'll be, oh, god, that thing. And then one of those they just like midway through the concert. We just never saw him again. I think they just got abducted somewhere. But the concert was wonderful. Toad and the Wet Sprocket are very laid back and chill. It was enjoyable. There were many times when Toad and I don't know his name, the main guy, Toad, the one that's walking on the water or the ocean, he would be playing and he would just kind of stand back and watch the other members play. They were jamming. And you could tell he genuinely just enjoyed playing music. And one particular thing that made the entire audience laugh is some drunk individual. Not our drunk individual, but someone way back on the balcony, screamed out as loudly as he could, we really enjoy your music. And that caused Toad to laugh. And he said, that is the most polite thing anyone's ever screamed drunkenly from an audience. So thank you for that.

>> Speaker C: It was a very good show. The only thing I have by Toad the Wed sprocket is many years ago. Ah, I remember. Well, let's see, when was it?

>> Speaker B: Kiss.

>> Speaker A: They do a lot of Kiss covers.

>> Speaker C: A bunch of artists got together and did a CD called Kiss My Ass. I remember that. Garth brooks was on it.

>> Speaker A: He did hard luck woman toad to west sprocket did love gun.

>> Speaker C: Toad the wet sprocket did rock and roll all night. And it was awful.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: It's just like it took 14 minutes. Seemed like want to rock and roll all night?

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: Hey, I'm like, come on. So after about their second song, I realized the main guy for toad, mr. Toad, looks just like Ryan gosling.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: And then the bass player looks, just like, brandon the lawyer. The guy that's in trouble. The guy.

>> Speaker C: With the hair.

>> Speaker A: The guy with the hair, he went to prison. You know who I'm talking about? it's his name brandon. The guy looks like him. Okay, so best mentioned that. And then I was like, great, the whole rest of the concert, it's Ryan gosling and the know. Yeah, and we've talked about that on the steve bannon. Steve bannon looked exactly like Steve. I mean, eerily like, for the man I was he are they letting him out of prison so he can play the concert?


If I start to look like very divisive, it divides right down the middle

Yeah, and I mentioned that as we were walking out and a couple people.

>> Speaker D: Turned around, like, he does.

>> Speaker A: He looks just like okay.

>> Speaker D: He does.

>> Speaker B: Easy.

>> Speaker A: But you think toad would have told him at some point, you know what?

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: If I start to look like somebody that's I don't want to get political, but if I start to look like somebody that's very divisive.

>> Speaker B: Yes.

>> Speaker A: I would expect you to tell me, mike, you're starting.

>> Speaker C: To look like very he would divide right down the middle.

>> Speaker A: You start to look like the texas chainsaw massacre guy. Whatever.

>> Speaker B: His leatherface.

>> Speaker A: Leatherface I would expect you to tell.

>> Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Point it out. Okay. This is how sad I am. I knew Ed Geen before I knew Steve Bannon. Oh, you must.

>> Speaker A: Mean ed geen. Tom cruise and goose.

>> Speaker C: No.

>> Speaker A: Val kilmer?

>> Speaker C: No. Rick Rossovich. What are you talking about? You remember rick Rossovich?

>> Speaker B: No. Okay.

>> Speaker A: He was going to be like the next big thing. And then he did top gun.

>> Speaker C: Rick Rossovich was going to be the next thing.

>> Speaker A: Yeah, he was he was in top gun, then he was in roxanne, and then he was done. You remember roxanne with steve martin?

>> Speaker C: He was the handsome guy like daryl hanna.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: It was right after top gun. He was like, he was a rising star, and it was like roxanne hit and it's like, boom. It's like career right in the forehead.

>> Speaker C: Roxanne was not a bad movie. No, it was a good movie.

>> Speaker A: Steve martin was amazing in that.

>> Speaker C: It ended his career.

>> Speaker A: Rick Rossovich.

>> Speaker B: Rick rossovich's.

>> Speaker A: After that, I think he was in maybe like he might have been in the left behind movies.

>> Speaker C: That was it. I'll have to look up his distinguished career yeah.

Two girls decide to climb an abandoned tower out in the middle of nowhere

>> Speaker C: Speaking of movies, every Friday we have movie pizza night. And, I had decided a while back that I wanted to see this movie. I kept seeing clips of it on the TikTok, and it's a movie called Fall. It's about two girls, and they decided to climb up this abandoned tower out.

>> Speaker A: In the middle of nowhere. Do they ever tell why they did it? Because yeah, it seems like the premise is somebody thought, well, okay, they're on a tower.

>> Speaker B: That's scary.

>> Speaker C: Now, how do we get them up there?

>> Speaker B: Right.

>> Speaker C: They decided to do it spoiler alert. They decided to do it because they would mountain climb.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: They did a lot of mountain climbing. And, boy, something happens, okay? I don't want to spoil it. Something happens that makes one of them.

>> Speaker A: Not want to climb. Like Sylvester Stallone and Cliffhanger.

>> Speaker C: Something happened. Exactly. Something happened.

>> Speaker A: Like Sylvester Stallone and Cliffhanger.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: And then when he goes to Taco.

>> Speaker C: Bell, he doesn't use the right seashells.

>> Speaker A: And Rick Rossovich is there.

>> Speaker C: Rick Rossovich. So the one girl who doesn't want to climb anymore, she's in this depression, and she hates her father, Negan.

>> Speaker A: From The Walking Dead, because he hits people with baseball bats.

>> Speaker C: Is that why? Well, that's not why. He doesn't hit anybody with a bat in the he's a pretty nice guy.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: The other girl says, listen, hey, let's me and you, we're going to go on a road trip. And she says, then let's go do this thing, and let's climb up this tower. And you can face your fear. Sarah, Helen, Jill, whatever her name is. I can't remember either of their names. And we're going to climb this tower, and you're going to face your fear, and you are going to come out just on the other side. You're going to be they, the girl doesn't want to, but she does. And I'm not giving anything. It's like we know they get stuck. At the top of the tower. They climb up to the top of the tower, and when they're trying to get down up, the stairs fall off.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker C: Because the screws are all rusty and they're on top of this thing for.

>> Speaker A: A.

>> Speaker C: Good couple of days. Like I said, if you have a fear of heights, this is not, the movie for you. But the crazy thing is the funniest thing about this movie and we're watching it, and these girls get stuck on top of the tower. And Cameron says, I thought this was going to be a movie about the seasons. You got a movie about fall, and it's all about, foliage driving through Vermont.

>> Speaker A: It's a sequel to spring. Sequel to Winter Comes Next and then in the spring is the Reckoning.

>> Speaker B: Exactly. Yeah.

>> Speaker C: But I'll tell you, it was a good movie.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: It really was a good movie. It was one of those, like, I saw the Thing and I'm like, M, that's a renner.


Beth says we're going to the beach this year. Long term listeners know that last year

So we're going to the beach this year.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: So astute, and I'm going to the beach too. Yeah. Long term listeners know that last year we went to the desert. We went to the opposite of the beach. We went to a place with no water where the streets have no name. Okay. And this time Beth said, we're going to the beach. I said, yes, we're going to the last year was total. I'm going to take my family out and risk everyone's life to see a dead tree. Yes, we can go to the beach. This is your thing. You do whatever you want. I got the place and all that. And I was like, you plan the activities, whatever. We'll do whatever. And we start talking about the place that we're going. She said that there's going to be some weather when we're there.

>> Speaker C: Some days with weather.

>> Speaker A: Well, every day has weather. She's been following them.

>> Speaker B: Yes.

>> Speaker A: poor weather. But you're right. So she's been following the page. Everything has a Facebook page now.

>> Speaker B: Yes.

>> Speaker A: I'm pretty sure that this couch, has a Facebook page with followers.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: I've been following it. And so they've been announcing on this every time someone drowns or needs to get rescued. And Beth said it's happening at, quote, an alarming frequency there. And she says there's all these different flags and they are recommending that when there's a flag out there, they have yellow flags.

>> Speaker B: Red flags.

>> Speaker A: Red flags is when there's high tide, double red flags, which is where if you go out in the water, they will arrest you.

>> Speaker B: Yes.

>> Speaker A: Purple, flags, which I found interesting. We'll talk about it here in a minute.

>> Speaker B: Okay.

>> Speaker A: But she said, when there's anything yellow and above, if there's a yellow flag, don't go out when the water comes up to your knees. You could get pulled out in a riptide or undertow or Cthulhu can get you whatever kahu.

>> Speaker B: Kawaii? Yeah.

>> Speaker A: The Lord of the Elder, god of the water. Our listeners know who it is.

>> Speaker C: I'll explain it later.

>> Speaker A: Okay, yeah. Kahuhu Cthulhu. Oh, Cthulhu. The old gods.

>> Speaker B: H p lovecraft.

>> Speaker A: None of this. no ring, nothing.

>> Speaker B: You.

>> Speaker A: Can edit that out. Look, our viewers spiked when I mentioned Cthulhu. Bless you.

>> Speaker B: Anyway. Yeah.

>> Speaker A: She said, I'm, going to rely on you. Now, longtime listeners know that I've developed an intense fear of the water.

>> Speaker B: Yes.

>> Speaker C: Not so much the water. It's the things that are in the water.

>> Speaker B: Yes.

>> Speaker A: Now that we're talking about Riptide and the fact that the water itself can.

>> Speaker C: Pull me out there, that I'm scared of the water.

>> Speaker A: Well, you can drown in the water. You can. Yeah. So she said, you have to manage, keep watch. Somebody's going to have to remain on the beach. I was like, yeah, I've got you covered.

>> Speaker C: I got you covered.

>> Speaker A: I can watch the cooler every morning. Every morning, I'm going to wake up, I'm going to eat my Crunch Cup magic Spoon trademark. You're going to take magic? I'm going to take donuts. I'm going to take beer. I'm going to go out there, I'm going to sit on the beach, and.

>> Speaker C: I'm going to be there, all day. I don't recommend sunlight or sunshine, beer.

>> Speaker A: And donuts, but this is vacation. I don't care. I'm going to do that seven times because we're going to be there seven days. So I'm your man on beach. Get me a fishing rod. I'll hook a kid and bring them back in here. You don't need to worry about it. So we laugh about that. This is on the way to see Toad the Wet Sprocket. and then there's a long silence, and she says, you know, there's a purple flag. Yeah. I'm like, I find it.


OD: I'm very nervous about the beach vacation this week

OD, that you haven't mentioned the purple flag until this point. She said, yeah, the purple flag is for sea creatures.

>> Speaker D: What sea creatures? When all of a sudden, this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the Paleolithic era, comes out of the water. We were so scared. Lord, I moved, I jumped up in the boat and I said, thomas, what.

>> Speaker C: On earth is that creature?

>> Speaker A: So, okay, a jellyfish. People who aren't paint yet. Yes, bear and other creatures. Bear. So my problem is not in the fact that they have a flag for sea creatures. my problem is that they saw so many sea creatures, it warrants a flag. Somebody at some point said, we probably should have a flag for this. There's so many bears and moose out there killing these people.

>> Speaker D: We need a flag. It stood above it, looking down with these big red eyes. So scamming. And I yelled, I said, what do.

>> Speaker A: You want from us, monster?

>> Speaker D: He's coming up saying, I need about 350, everybody. I need about 350. What was that creature? I said, I ain't giving you no tree fitting.

>> Speaker A: Loch Ness monster, get your own damn money. I'm very nervous. I'm very nervous about the beach vacation. I'm excited, but I'm also very.

>> Speaker D: Nervous. Okay. Yeah. Loch Ness Monster. I said, damn it, monster, get off my loan.

>> Speaker C: I ain't giving you no tree fitting. Well, it's like, I like the beach, but I can do the beach by about the fourth day. I'm like, okay, I'm tired of the sunscreen.

>> Speaker A: I'm tired of the sand getting all I don't mind sunscreen. Bug spray pisses me off. Sands. I can't take it. okay. It makes me feel, for clempt, but I actually enjoy sunscreen.

>> Speaker C: Now, do you wear a hat or.

>> Speaker A: Do you just I will this time. My m cool hat that we bought last year that makes me look cool, like a cool guy. Yeah, I'm going to wear that.

>> Speaker C: Yeah, you got to. Because as long as I've been shaving.

>> Speaker A: My head, I have never had a sunburned bald head.

>> Speaker B: Yeah.

>> Speaker A: I've been training. I've been making sure that I'm mowing the grass, easing into it. I've been using a little less SPF to get a little bit of a tan to be ready for this. my ankles are as white as the driven snow.

>> Speaker C: I can't wait for a flip flop tan. I love my flip flop. I don't even take socks when I go to the beach.

>> Speaker A: That's flip flops and a pair of sandals. The nature of my planter.

>> Speaker B: Fasciitis.
