[rock music] Hello, everybody. Hey.
0:17
This here is, uh, Full Spectrum Cycling. This is show number 220. 220, y'all. 2- 220. Yeah. Isn't that part of the busing system? Probably. I think back in the olden times- Yeah... maybe. I don't know if they still do.
0:31
[laughs] You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. [laughs] Stretching the boundaries on that koozie, man. Oh, I know, and this is what happens when you- [laughs]... you downshift to the Arizona iced tea.
0:40
I didn't know that they still made these. In case everybody doesn't recognize it, that's JK. Hello, everyone. Been a minute since he's been on the show. Wait, I... Damn it. Been a minute.
0:52
I- that's one of the things- I hate that... I hate the most. Yep, I know, I don't like- And I just said it. You hit a scrotch? I just- You hit a scrotch? I just- To be fair- To be fair- Ah...
0:59
it's been a few weeks since JK's been on the show. Righto. Tony's over there, too. Mm-hmm. With a- Mm-hmm... with a DD- Oh, they don't even have that in cans anymore- Mm-mm...
1:07
I don't think, the DDH Fluffy from, uh- It is fantastic... Double Dry Hopped Fluffy from Amorphic. Today's- Today's- today's kind of a beer light show.
1:15
I've got, uh, Coors Light, and I think that's the only other beers in the house. [laughs] That's all that's in there. I think this- Sorry I had lots to do... I think this is Arnold Palmer.
1:24
I believe that is an Arnold Palmer. Light. Light. That's the light. That's light. I like that one way better. Yeah. The other one's too sweet. Arizona tea. Uh, by the by, Swinging Door, they have...
1:35
They make their own, I guess. I mean, it's not like it's a complex recipe- Their, their-... by any stretch. Um, their raspberry iced tea is phenomenal. Yes. I love that. Oh, they had a delightful hot dog. Oh, tell me.
1:46
Huli huli, so split, grilled, awesomely bigger than normal sized. Sweet Hari- Hawaiian barbecue and ham and Swiss melted on top. Wow. It was way too m- it was big. It was big. And that was four bucks?
2:04
Four bucks, yeah. [laughs] Wow. So aside from the- the lack of libation, your routine hasn't changed much? No. Gotta go to- [laughs]... gotta go to Swinging Door, right? Gotta go to the door. No, no, no.
2:16
There was, there was a moment there where it was like, 'cause I know people go through life change, and it's like, "Oh, hell." 'Cause I remember a buddy of mine had, uh, contracted, uh, hep C. Mm-hmm.
2:26
It's like can't drink, no, no, no, no. Well, his doctor was like, "No, you can't," and that's it. Right. You know? Yeah. He's like, "Okay, fine." You know, "Can I blow weed?" "Well, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
2:36
"Okay, if I smoke [laughs] marijuana, does that have any impact whatsoever on your diagnosis of me right now?" "No." No. "Nothing whatsoever." Thank you. Come again. That's all I needed to know. Yeah. [laughs] Mm-hmm.
2:47
So yeah, no, it's just more of a transition to that part. Well- Which is simple as hell now... so it's going well? Well, it's kinda like the snow cane with me. [laughs] Snow cane?
2:58
Well, yeah, back, way back in decades ago, um, you know, there was the snow cane out in the world, and on occasion I would be like, "Oh yeah, give it a shot." Uh, but then I had like a super nasal infection- Mm...
3:13
that like calcified like one side of my face Elephant Man style. Like, it came out. Oh, Jesus God. So it's like cellulitis of the maxillary capillary or whatever.
3:21
So it's this massive infection, and if it- if I don't treat it and it breaks, it goes to my brain and I die. Oh, freaking fantastic. So guess what I don't introduce into my nicer systems no more.
3:32
Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Probably. Boom. Okay. Probably a good plan. There- So I'm- I'm- I'm kinda using that as my model. There you go. Yeah. Ta-da. And that's where we're at.
3:39
It's certainly, it's certainly not something anybody should deal with anymore- [clears throat]... but just because of all the potential for fentanyl- Oh yeah... being added into your- Never did it, never will. Yeah.
3:51
Stay away from the drugs, folks. That's right. Except maybe naturals. Drugs are bad. I dunno. You're gonna have to look in there later. [laughs] Um- Uh, yeah And good old-fashioned caffeine. We, we did- Ah...
4:02
I, I have to interlude- A little bit too much of that... I'd been- So I may be changed...
4:05
interject just a little about s- 'cause since we talked about the Swinging Door, but I took Paul, um, to the airport, uh, Paul K., who, River West 24, Paul K., um, that guy- Yeah...
4:17
to the airport to go to New York, and we stopped at Fixture Pizza. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. And I'm just gonna throw out that... Oh, it was damn fine. Down in the Bay View? It, it's on... It's, no, it's on South Second.
4:28
The Hawkers... right next to the old Milwaukee Brewing Company on Walker. Oh, right on. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, right across from Smith. It's, it's, it has a good beer selection. The food is all handmade. Um, I had a...
4:39
I, I've said this forever that Swinging Door has the best Caesar salad, which is what made me think of it, you talking about- Mm-hmm... Swinging Door, and um, they beat it. Wow. It is fantastic. That is good. Yeah.
4:51
They make their own dressing? Yep. Nice. They do every- That's a key... according to them on the, on the, uh, menu, they say, you know, "Please be patient. We make everything from scratch." Yeah.
4:59
Key to, key to a Caesars, make your own dressing. Oh, and this was... It- I highly recommend it. It's, and the side is a meal in and of itself. Sorry, did I... I digressed enough. Let's talk about bikes. Oh. Aha.
5:11
Well, I, I did- I biked over there... you guys both rode your bikes over. Mm-hmm. Uh, Van Moof got bought- Mm-hmm... by some, some semblance of the McLaren Group. I don't know exactly- Yeah...
5:20
how that works, but- A spinoff or some sort of the McLaren Group, but- It's fine, as long as they have McLaren money, that sounds like a good plan. Right. It's a good...
5:28
I mean, they've already got an established clientele. They just gotta make them happy now. And they have an established product that now works well that they'd have just to produce now, so it's almost a no-brainer.
5:37
Mm-hmm. La- boy, was it warm last weekend. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It was, uh, Tour de Towner. It was also the Goonies ride, which I did not make. I did not either. But the Tour de Towner- Sorry...
5:49
I did make, and I think it's the lowest turnout I've seen. [laughs] We had like s- I think eight people started- I think Lloyd and I were the only two that kind of [coughs] did the entire route somehow. Yeah.
6:01
Well- I ran into Lloyd just a little earlier and he was like, "Dude, there was nobody out." Well, it was 95 probably. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it was- At 9:00 AM... and I, I did still feel it, like, on Tuesday, too.
6:12
Not- Right... I mean, and w- we didn't even really, like, imbibe hardcore. I just think that I kind of dehydrated myself a little. Right. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But, uh, it was a, you know, it was tradition. Yeah.
6:24
You, you don't fuck with tradition. If I were in town, I would've done it. Yeah. If I were in town, I would've done Booty to Sand. I forgot about it.
6:28
I would've done that one, but- I forgot about it, but I worked in my basement, which was a nice balmy 60. Yeah? I love basements for that. So we're doing this show today, I mean yesterday- Yeah...
6:39
because on Tuesday it was 94 degrees in the shop. Yeah. That, that's brutal. Which now it's 78, so I'm pretty sure that's a lot better. Yeah, a little bit.
6:47
And I think we're in for a good stretch of decent weather- Yep... here in the old Midwest. Very pleased with that weather outlook. [sighs] Kinda has a good semi-fall feel to it. Right. Right? Right.
6:59
Light jacket, maybe none, but nothing to worry about. Yep. Yep. You're not gonna freeze. Right. Apparently, the folks down at Rays in Cleveland are starting their season soon.
7:08
Pre-season s- I believe starts this coming weekend. They don't, they don't stay open during the summer, huh? No. I suppose not. They didn't at the other- Like, right...
7:14
the one here, either Yeah, I think it's, like, they go through, like, May, so June, July, August, they're building. Yeah, new stuff and- Plus, it's also hot as hell.
7:21
I'm, I'm sure they don't air condition that joint, 'cause it's massively huge. But, uh, so yeah. Rays, Rays season starts. Uh, you can get that at Rays Mountain, m- raysmtb.com. Check that out.
7:32
If you've not ridden the Rays, don't break your foot, but go have fun. [laughs] Yeah, but have you looked at the pictures from the Cleveland one? It's cool. It is. It's way bigger.
7:40
Yeah, and they're, and they just keep putting stuff in there. Yeah. It's much, the space is utilized really well and it is- Wow... it would be, it would be worth a trip from anywhere in the Midwest.
7:50
How far is Cleveland from here? [coughs] Six? Probably. What, six hours? We could, we could look it up on the Googles. You could do that.
7:56
I would say it's six hours, so it's worth an overnight trip, not a run there and come back trip. Right. Yeah, you have the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. There's also, people have told me about there's a, somewhere in the,
8:10
that section of the United States is a, uh, underground quarry that- Yeah. I've heard about... I think it might be in Kentucky, maybe. Is it? It's- Kentucky. Supposed to be really fantastic.
8:22
Jason from the, the, one of the big cyclocross guys in town, um, I'm drawing a mental blank on his last name, uh, he's done it and said it's absolutely fantastic. Sounds awesome. It's only a road trip.
8:31
Speaking, speaking of awesome, I'm gonna push the green button. Button. Hey, welcome to the radio program, caller. [laughs] Who do we have on the line? What up, y'all? It's Big Sexy. There he is. Big Sexy.
8:44
It's, it, it's, it's been a minute since we talked to Big Sexy. [laughs] It's been a minute. For sure. Yeah, I'll t- I'll tell you what, boy do I miss Wisconsin. Yeah. Why is that? I'm in Ohio,
8:59
and I swear to God, every, every fucking town I, I pull through in Ohio is like a little piece of Mississippi dropped in, into fucking Ohio somehow. Wow.
9:13
So you know what's round on both ends [clears throat] and high in the middle? Oh. Is it Ohio? Yeah. It is Ohio. [laughs] One of your, one of your granddad jokes right there.
9:24
So, uh- Yeah, well, I'll tell you what, uh, O- Ohio sucks. Uh, what one good thing that's happened, uh, here in Ohio is that, uh, my, uh, my right rim decided to, to shed a couple of spokes,
9:40
and I, I had just put on the, I put on two, two brand-new rims, left, lefty and righty. Had brand-new rims on 4th of July. Mm.
9:49
And I looked at the, I looked at, at righty over here and I said, "Man, she lost five spokes," and now she's starting to turn. I'm like, "I'm gonna call Schwinn."
10:01
I called Schwinn, they're sending me a, th- they sent me a free rim. I'm getting it, I'm getting it tomorrow when I get to Wooster, Ohio, so. Right on. Well, they're taking care of you. Right.
10:12
Well, and I, I'll tell you what, it wasn't, it wasn't because of the rim. It was because of Michigan and Ohio kicking the fucking shit out of my bike.
10:20
Since you were here at the end of, uh, July in Wisconsin, where have you, where have you hit? What, what was your path?
10:27
Well, um, uh, me and James, uh, Coyote, uh, Wily Coyote, we went up to Saginaw, Michigan, and that's another place where Mississippi just- [laughs]... planted itself right there in Michigan.
10:43
And, uh, and me and, me and James, uh, is James there? No. He, he's not. Okay. Okay.
10:52
So, so me and James, uh, through R- River West 24 and through, like, almost two weeks in Saginaw, Michigan, we were side by side. That dude was so sick of me, and I was so sick of him. It was funny.
11:08
It was, it was, it was comical. But we, we were fine. Right? We were cool. [laughs] So I got, I got to ride to Saginaw, Michigan, and then, uh, we, we did some work for his friend there in Saginaw.
11:23
We were working on a house that [coughs] was dilapidated and blah, blah. We, we, we did so much work on it. We were cleaning it up.
11:30
We were making it good and things like that, and we, we did a lot of work cleaning up, uh, a lot of that dude's property, and it worked out. It, it actually killed a lot of time that I needed to kill
11:42
because, uh, a lot of my, uh, friends, especially my friends here in Wooster, w- were not ready for me until right about now. So it was good, it was good shit.
11:53
But, uh, I'll tell you what, man, the infrastructure in Michigan and Ohio
11:59
It's like, I don't know whose pockets are getting fat, but somebody's pockets are getting fat because these sidewalks haven't been worked on since before I was born. Mm.
12:12
Like, if there is a sidewalk, if there is a sidewalk, if there is a bike lane, it is dilapidated and just, like, shit. Mm. Yeah. And it makes me miss Wisconsin. It makes me miss, miss Wisconsin and Minnesota so much.
12:27
Yeah. I, I think we're gonna see more of that as we, as we move on in the decades because- Yeah... it, because especially pedestrian and, and bike infrastructure is just not important to people, unfortunately. Right.
12:40
And, you know, we're all getting older. Well, yeah, because who needs a bike lane? I'm not riding my bike. I'm on my phone. [laughs] That's another one. Don't, don't get me started on that.
12:52
To- oh, Tony's on his phone right now. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. [laughs] That's what I do. I, I, I ain't here to get you started, Sven. It's all good. Don't, don't wind me up, brother. Um,
13:04
but I wanna tell y'all, I wanna tell y'all that, uh, my experience in Milwaukee and, uh, the Riverwest 24 was absolutely wonderful. I, I had a great time. I got laid. It was awesome. [laughs] Good on you, man.
13:22
Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, may- maybe you all aren't familiar about how often I get laid, which is not very. So, like, for the first time in a year and a half at least, maybe even two years, I got laid, so that's important.
13:36
Well, at least to one person, or maybe two in this case. [laughs] It's definitely important. So yeah. Well, this was...
13:43
So this year, I was actually on a team, so I kinda kept running across you but w- being, like, moving. Gotta keep moving. Gotta keep moving, and I just... Yeah. Yeah.
13:52
It was a little, it was a little different than when I could, uh, just kinda sit on the side of the road and watch the ra- the race go by versus actually participating in said event. Trying. We were trying a little bit.
14:06
Sort of. For the first couple of hours, me, me and James, me and James Coyote, we were, uh, we were drinking, and, and he's like, "Let's go back to my place for a second."
14:15
I'm like, "Okie dokie," and I passed out on, on his couch, and he passed out on the bed, and I woke up at, like, 5:00 in the morning like, "Oh, fuck." That'll, that'll happen. We, we missed it all. That'll... Well, yeah.
14:27
That'll happen during a, a 24 with James at times. Well, I'll t- I'll tell you what, I did not pass out on the sidewalk, not even once. [laughs] Riverwest is forever grateful.
14:40
[laughs] And I'm, I'm wear- I'm wearing my, uh... Right now I'm wearing my Riverwest T-shirt. I can't remember the dude's name, but he gave me a Riverwest T-shirt. It's got the map. It's got the map of Riverwest.
14:54
I know where Bremen's Cafe is. I know where Vega's is. I, I, I know where everything's at. And, uh, I, I, I can't, I can't ex- Or at least two of the dive bars... I can't even- All dive bars in Riverwest...
15:06
I can't even start to, um... I can't even start to tell y'all how much I love that fucking neighborhood and, and how much I, I, I, I will be back again, whether you like it or not. [laughs] Well, the guy...
15:18
By the way, Steve Booth is the guy that did that shirt. And he- Yeah. I don't, I don't know how long it took him to figure out to u- to use the letters of Riverwest, but it says, like, Rivet Weezer or something.
15:31
[laughs] It, uh... But when you look at it, you go- Yeah... it says Riverwest, but it really doesn't, and he just, uh, kinda rearranged the words to- Right Make it-... somehow get Weezer in there- It, it, it-...
15:39
which is kinda funny... it's R- R-V-I-T-W-E-S-E-R. Yeah. Something. And I'm like, "That's good enough for me." I, I, I recognized that map because I was studying it for, you know, for the last couple days.
15:57
Right. I know where things are at. Hey, look. There, there's the Kroger where I, uh, I made out with some hot dogs. [laughs] Awesome. So now you're in... Are you in Worcester yet, or is that where you're headed?
16:12
Um, yeah. I'll be, I'll be in Worcester tomorrow. I'm bout, I'm about 20 miles out, but, uh, my friends are not expecting me until late afternoon tomorrow. They got, they gotta work and all that shit, so.
16:23
The, the problem is I would've been way past Worcester, but they were get- they were in, uh, Nantucket for Labor Day weekend. You know where Nantucket is? Oh, yeah. Yep.
16:35
I don't have the money to go to Nantucket- They were in Nantucket... but I know where it is. Um, I'm hop- I'm hoping they didn't spend all their money there because holy shit, I am, I, I'm, I'm coming in light.
16:46
But anyway, no. Uh, but they were, they were, they were out of town last weekend, so I had to kinda pump the brakes and hang out in, like, suburban Cleveland, which I thought was gonna be okay, but
16:57
man, suburban Cleveland is like, uh, Trenton, New Jersey. Ew. It just, ugh. We go down there to Raise indoor mountain bike park. We won't stay in the suburbs. Right. [laughs] Yeah. No. I, I'll tell you what. And then,
17:15
and then you get to Akron, and you're like, "Oh, thank God I'm in Akron. I'm outside of Cleveland." It's like, oh, nope. Nope. Not, you're not out of the woods yet.
17:25
But, and tweakers and tweakers and crackheads everywhere. It's like, oh man. You know? A- a- it's, it's been, it's been a little bit rough. And you know what?
17:35
The pe- the people have not been mean to me or anything like that. It just, I, I just ha- I, I've been, uh, scraping by, especially a- as far as donations go. A- and, and it's like, okay, well,
17:50
you're in that part of the world, so you just gotta keep on, keep on moving. Northern, Northern Nashville is on the map. Uh, Kentucky was good to me last time I was through, so-...
18:05
is gonna keep it in mind that, uh, that it's not always gonna be a cooler full of beer and, uh, and whatever I wanna eat for, for lunch. You know? It, it's not always like that.
18:18
In Wisconsin and Minnesota it's like that, but, you know, whatever. [laughs] So what's your, what's your end game for the season? Are you, are you headed towards, uh, New Orleans? Absolutely. Um,
18:31
now there has been talk of, uh, me hitting the Tampa Bay, Florida area first before I go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I don't know yet. We haven't decided. I'm...
18:48
W- well, I'm going to Tampa, I'm going to Tampa w- after Mardi Gras or before Christmas. One of the two. Haven't decided yet. Is that where your mom is, in Tampa? Yeah, that's where my mom's at. Oh.
19:03
That's where my mom is, in, in Tampa. How did the latest hurricane affect her? Anything down there?
19:08
Well, um, according to my mom, I haven't seen any of this online, but according to my mom, uh, one of my favorite towns in Florida, Perry, Florida, which is north of Tampa, uh, southeast of, of Tallahassee,
19:25
it's a small town right in Florida, right, right on the, uh, right on the taint of the United States, if you, if you- [laughs]... if you follow me. That's all of Florida. [laughs] Um,
19:36
it l- literally, uh, uh, Perry, Perry, Florida got blown off the map. They got significant damage from that hurricane. It's one of my favorite towns in Florida. I really hope they're okay.
19:48
I mean, I know people there, but I don't know, like, their name. I don't have their, like, their contacts or anything like that. Sure.
19:56
Like, I've, I've, I've been through there a couple of times and they, they all, "Oh, hey, look, tricycle guy's back in town. What's up, tricycle guy?" I'm like, "What up? How you doing?"
20:06
So I really hope everybody's okay. There wasn't any deaths or anything like that, but, uh, but, uh, uh, uh, Perry, Perry, Florida took a beating. Yeah, I think a lot of places down there have.
20:18
My, I, I just talked to a guy that I knew a long time ago who had been in Florida, in Fort Myers, and the, the previous one, not this past one, but I think Henry or whatever- Oh...
20:26
the last w- big one was, wiped everything he had out and he had to come back here, or wanted to come back here because he can't even get insurance to rebuild down there- Yeah... right now, so. Yeah, happens.
20:37
It- Well, when you... We know why that happens. Mm-hmm. Because, uh, it's windy down there. Yeah, ex- exactly.
20:43
[laughs] It, it's just like, it, it's just like, "Oh, yeah, if you give us, if you give us su- such and such money per month, we'll, we'll cover you if something happens."
20:53
And then when something happens, they're like, "Oh, well, we didn't mean that." Yeah. That happens. And, and, and- That happens here too... it, uh, it happens everywhere.
21:03
And, and it, it, it's, it's one of those things, it, it's just like the Circle K. Um, I don't know about Circle K's up that way, but in Ohio, I lost my, I lost my ID in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
21:19
I, I, I must have just left it on the counter for some reason.
21:25
In Ohio, a couple places in Michigan, but mostly in Ohio, I have, I, I've been denied beer and cigarettes because I didn't have my ID, and I look like a 70-year-old curmudgeon. [laughs] Can confirm.
21:42
[laughs] It, it, it, it, it's like, it's like when are people gonna uprise and say, "We don't have to show you ID, we're old" And, but nope, nope, everybody's just, everybody here's like, "Oh, okay, they wanna see my ID?
21:57
Okay. Well, here it goes." Uh, blah, blah, blah. I, uh, put it up to, uh, to corporations being lazy, that they won't spend the money to train their people to, to recognize an underager buying booze or buying cigarettes.
22:14
They're just like, "Okay, just ID everybody. That way we don't get fined." Right. Yep, exactly. It's in all the airports too. They're, they're, they're... Yeah, they're just being lazy.
22:27
And, and it, it, it, it frustrates me that... Well, if I had my ID I wouldn't care. [laughs] Right? Yep. Yep. But I, I lost... I, I forgot my ID in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, so...
22:41
And I can't get it back until I get to Louisiana, which isn't gonna be until after December. So, a- and I'm like, I'm like, "You know I'm old enough. You know I'm..." I mean, come on.
22:54
I'm on a tricycle and I'm, I'm, yeah, I'm, I'm not gonna, I'm not buying for, for young children or anything like that. Uh, uh, but nope. And, and you know what? And, and to argue with the clerk is like...
23:08
It, it, she's, her boss told her to do this. His boss told her to do this. You cannot argue with them. It's not their fault. Oh, sure. Absolutely. But it, it's so hard.
23:22
Especially when they got, they got a si- they got a 12-pack of 16-ounce hams and they won't sell it to you because you don't have your ID. It's like, I can't buy hams anywhere else in the state. [laughs] All right, man.
23:37
Well, we're gonna, we're gonna wrap the show up on this end, but, uh, let's catch up in a month or so and see what's happening with you. Yeah, sounds good, man.
23:46
Um, a month or so I should be, uh, approaching Nashville, so- Cool... that might be interesting. Yeah. Get, get some road stories for us.
23:56
And like- [laughs] And, hey, look, um, I don't know, I don't know if you can put it in the, um, in the, uh, in the comments or the, uh, or the description or whatever, if you go- if y'all wanna donate to my cause, I would really, really, really appreciate it My Venmo account is, uh, Jason-Becher-60.
24:18
Um, a- like I, like my sign says, anything helps. Uh, it's been, it's been a little rough through Ohio, and I could use a couple bucks to keep me moving. All right, man. Well, let's see if we can make that happen. Cool.
24:33
That, that'd be cool, but I mean, I mean, like, like a lot of your listeners already, already donate to me on a regular basis, so don't... You know, i- if you've already donated, don't fucking worry about it.
24:43
You, you bought me a couple shots during 24, and, and, uh, like James took care of me for almost three weeks. I don't wanna ask anybody for anything, but if you can, awesome. All right.
24:57
Okay, everybody, Big Sexy down there in Ohio. Big Sexy. Uh, thanks for calling in, man. Peace. Hey, no problem, y'all have a great time.
25:05
I got, I got some more stories I didn't even get to, so, uh, we'll, we'll, we'll talk in a couple weeks. All right. Okay, bud. All right. Bye. All right, see ya. Thanks y'all. Yep. Hey, everybody.
25:16
That was Big Sexy on the road on Heather the tricycle. Left a wallet in El Segundo. Left my wallet in El Segundo. [laughs] He left it in- That's all I could think of [laughs]... Eau Claire. At the Cir- yeah.
25:27
Oh [laughs] Eau Claireamundo or- Strange things are afoot at the Circle K, man. Wow. I would- Maybe, I don't know, if he left it there, you'd think you could be like, "Aren't there Circle K- Go back and get it...
25:37
is Circle K everywhere?" It's like, "Send it to the one down here in your interdepartmental mail or something." It's a regional-ish- Oh yeah, it's kinda like a Quick-... er... QuikTrip or a Casey's- Yeah...
25:48
or one of those- Yeah... or something. Yeah. Um, I don't, I got nothing really more. JK. Steel is Real. Oh. On the Saturday. Is it- And- The pickup and drop-off and the- Uh... yeah... poker ride. Yeah. September 9th.
26:03
That's coming up, what, tomorrow then, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Something else. Well, I- I'm gonna try. I gotta work, but- So I don't, I'm not saying I- And so, and, and so my 49th birthday. Oh, awesome. Really, this weekend?
26:15
Yeah, they're having a poker ride and a bike ride. Just for you. Just for me. It's amazing. Just for you, motherfucker. Yes. Well, happy birthday. Oh, thank you. So I'm not saying I, I dropped the ball on Steel is Real.
26:26
I just kind of let it slide and- [clears throat]... uh, I think- Take it, Lisa... Lisa picked it up- Yeah... again after, I don't know, she did it 10 years ago or something.
26:35
And, uh, there was a guy that had set up this thing called the Vintage Bike Ride, which was, he wasn't gonna worry about whether you had a steel bike. Jerry. We never, yeah, we never- Jerry Guy...
26:45
we never did worry about if you had a steel bike for the ride. We just said- We just teased you... if we're gonna, if we're gonna award things, it's only gonna be for steel bikes. But, uh, yeah, so that, and, and
26:57
I'm curious, I don't know if I'll have time. That's why I didn't wanna get into it because- Right...
27:01
I've got till the 15th of September to get out of one storage place and till the 30th to get everything back in the Mutt Factory here. And, uh, we got our old room back. Why do you call it the Mutt Factory?
27:13
Well, 'cause dogs down, they got dog food downstairs. Oh, that's cute as shit. [laughs] I like it. I like it. It could be- There's no dogs though, there's just dog food. Dog food and cat food and- Yeah, I said dogs...
27:23
stuff for- Why'd you call it a Mutt Factory? I don't know. It's a Nut Factory. Oh, God damn.
27:27
[laughs] Um, yeah, we got our old room back, so maybe next show, show after that, will actually be the 48th time I've moved the podcast studio. [laughs] Oh, damn. From whence it began.
27:37
It's gonna look almost exactly like this, but over there, so. Different. I, at least it's an easy move, 'cause it's about 60 feet away, so. Right. It's an awesome idea too.
27:45
I, I'm, I'm excited about the future because we'd spent two years chasing a dream that never was gonna work, and now- Right... we're gonna actually make this work on some somewhat different scale.
27:58
I, I, we're not gonna be full retail, but we'll still help people that have been good customers in the past and... [dog barks] Oh, what? What's that noise? Tony's leaking. [laughs] He sprung a leak over there.
28:11
You know, you know when you got the balloon and you're, you know, the O-ring, and you pull it a little bit, like beep, beep, beep. [whistle sliding] There, bingo.
28:18
Uh, one other thing to mention, just so everybody's still aware of it, October 7th, Osage, Iowa, Fatoberfest. I'm 97% sure that I'm going- Oh... with Chewy and Spinner and Kayla and- Oh, nice...
28:31
all the people from Rochester and, uh, Decorah, and whatnot. And it sounds to me, from the scuttlebutt, that there'll be a lotta people there. You can camp for five bucks, $5, and they have- My...
28:45
and they have real- Can I camp naked for $5? Probably. They have real bathrooms. They have real showers, and they- You could pitch a tent. [laughs] Har, har, dee, har. [laughs] Oh. All right, everybody. That's mean.
28:58
Well, I don't know. If the band's back together, we'll do this next week, and, uh- Yeah... thank you, thank you very much for listening. Yeah. And buh-bye. Yeah. Buh-bye.
