Proceed. [singing] Yeah. Yeah, man. Ready as the devil. AI is your friend.
0:41
[laughs] Okay, AI. Hey. Hey, everybody, it's, uh, Full Spectrum Cycling. This is show number 272. It's like Front 242, but 272. But, yeah, but thir- but 30 later. Dun, dun, dun, dun. Yeah. Yeah.
0:55
Well- And- It's about 30 years later than I started Glass Window. And just, uh, just a couple of days before the Steel is Real ride.
1:03
Right, and of course it's- Uh, and- And let's, let's say- Let's not forget it's 91.7 Day. Oh, well, while we're recording this, it is 91 point, 9/17, 91.7 Day. Yep. Eh, might make it down to one of the things
1:17
after the show. I'm on the fence. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. At the, at the Wiggle Room. At the Wiggle Room. Got Sid at 8:00. You got, uh- Bonsai... Bonsai, so.
1:28
Speaking of Steel in Is- is Real, check out the, check out the cold things. Yes. Yes. Did I say AI- We didn't have time. We didn't have time. Did I say, "AI is your friend?"
1:39
[laughs] I know, it turned out all right, I think. I, we had to do a, uh, test run, so I did a couple before we unleashed them. It's- Might not be- There- there's some kinda weird stuff, but whatever.
1:51
[laughs] If, the effect is there. Yeah. It's, you know. Yeah. Either... They, uh, I, I probably put a link somewhere. You can probably buy one if you really think you need one, but I mostly got them for the ride leaders.
2:04
Ride leader. Ride leader. Rover. Rover. Woo, woo, woo. Rover. I gotta study that map again. Red rover, red rover, let's, uh- Now that we changed it after that last ride, so- Let Michael come over. [laughs] Yeah.
2:16
Just remember. Uh, it's not that big a deal. It's Second Street, you know. Second, um- We're g- hey, don't worry. If anybody listens to this show and is going on the ride, they're not a... [laughs] They're...
2:27
I don't think Luns- They're actually not gonna get this until, like, the day of or- Right, I don't think Luns listens anyway, so. Right. He can't screw it up. And of course everyone says, "Don't follow Luns."
2:35
That's a given. Speaking of people that do listen to the show, hey, Shannon, how's it going? Hello. Shannon listens to us every week. I noticed that, uh, Dan commented that UWM's tacos,
2:48
um, are legit with the u- student employees making them. Ah, yeah. Yeah. After our show from last week. [laughs] So while the show doesn't actually make, technically make any money- We're endorsing Taco Bell...
2:58
um, yeah, we're endorsing Taco Bell. Plus, Shannon ordered one of the, uh, Marley Clunkers. Nice. Yes. Nice. Those are- Nice... those are really nice. I was tempted to get two of them, just- Oh, yeah...
3:08
but we're just not really... People aren't seeing stuff right now on the second- I need windfalls... uh, in the bike- I need my windfalls... even in the, at the bike store on the second floor.
3:18
Well, when I looked, there were 81 left. Oh. So now there's 80 left. Oh, yeah. And I, after that, I presume they won't make any more of that model. Um... Is he- Mm... bringing the dune buggy to get it? Don't know.
3:31
He's got a bitchin' dune buggy. Yeah, that, yeah. It's like a Manx, isn't it, or something? It's, oh, it's, it might be. It's, it's nice. It's like- It's dressed... it's like bass boat purple.
3:40
Yeah, and it's chromed all to shit. It, it might even be blurple. When he first sent me the picture, I'm like, "Okay, it's all right."
3:45
And then I start going through the pictures, I'm like, "Oh, hell, this is a really nice [laughs] this is a really nice buggy." There's no dunes in Illinois. Illinois. You can roll around to Indiana's. Yeah.
3:55
Oh, you got some dunes over there. They don't let you on the dunes in Indiana. You just go right past Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana.
4:01
You gotta go, you gotta go up to Michigan to, like, Silver Lake to get on the, on the real dunes. Yeah. That, they, that's a great place. I don't know what the height of those dunes there is, couple hundred feet. Yeah.
4:12
They got the guys with their bitchin' Broncos and shit. Guys with snowboards. So there's, like, a, there's, like, a bitchin' Bronco section. There's the tour section where they have, like, the old school
4:23
m- they got, they're on, like, 747 tires. They're huge. Mm. And they can fit 20 people on them or whatever. So those guys do the tours, and then the other third is, like, walking and no vehicle traffic. No. Snowboarding.
4:37
And of course, you can ride your bike- Sand dunes... along the beach there in Michigan, so. Oh. 'Cause they let us. Silver Lake. They let us. Up there. Oh, I think Crystal. In Michigan. Anything about Steel is Real?
4:48
It's 18 and a half miles. Tony's our ride leader. Should be fun. Should be fun. You should come. If you hear this on Thursday, it's Saturday. 2- 10:00 AM... 3, 8. At... In a dive by the Iglesias and to Castille.
5:03
Uh, Cafe Hollander. I know they're open. Oh, no, no, no. I was talking about the... Whatever. Where are you going? I'm, I'm speaking in code. I guess. You'll find out. Oh, hells bells. But yeah, uh- [laughs]...
5:14
I think it's gonna be a great time. Hell, yeah. Um, I, the weather- It's gonna be nice... seems to be very cooperative. Yes. Speaking of weather, how's your miner? For the next two weeks. Yeah?
5:21
Oh, today was 97%, so I got 255. There you go. There you go. Of the possible 263 or whatever the current- Something like that, yep.
5:30
But it's also still just sitting on, like, a stool in the backyard, 'cause I haven't gotten the mount done yet. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just let it keep going. It's not doing any...
5:37
It needs, I wanna get it above the house so it's in the wind where it, it, which is the thing I'm most interested in, so.
5:44
Uh, one of the potential riders for Steel is Real, which we'll dov- dovetail into the other part of the Milwaukee Minute, is, uh, Lee, uh, Voots Lee. Voots Lee? Voot Warning. Okay.
5:58
You know, he, the- The girlfriend woman always with Voot? Oh, okay. Her. She's- That's Lee. Okay. That, her name is Lee. Gotcha. So- I'm not sure I knew that... she very well could be doing the ride.
6:11
Well, it'll be a fun thing. I- Yeah, absolutely. It's a group ride. We're not telling people where we're going. You're following the leader. Yep. It's a nice, it's a nice- Suck it... curated route.
6:20
I think it, we, we did it several times already and it's fun. It's been fun every time, even without a group of people, so. A, learn how to cross railroad tracks, people. Yeah, that's key. Mm-hmm.
6:30
There's a bunch of tracks. There is. There's two s- yeah, there, you gotta. There, there are quite a lot. Uh, B, don't follow Lunz. Although he's not gonna know where we're going, so that's probably okay. That, well.
6:41
[laughs] He's good. He's got P- That, that happened in one ear too... don't BCAS, bro. [laughs] Um, yeah. So, oh, speaking of Lee. [laughs] Yeah. And Voot. Yeah. In. Yeah. The show. Yeah.
6:58
Taking the City by Storm. That one. It is a punk rock Milwaukee... It's like the birth of punk rock in Milwaukee. Yes. Which I'll be... I mean, I was around probably, I was in California when that,
7:12
when that era of '80, you know, '78 to '81. I got back here in '83 or '84. Mm-hmm. So it was already well underway. Yeah.
7:21
And, uh, some of the stuff that had been going on back then was already done, but it was amazing how many bands came out of Milwaukee during that time. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
7:29
And how many people went on to do things that are much more national or whatever. Yeah. But what got me was, I mean, it was focused around a couple specific characa- char- characters. [laughs] Char- yeah.
7:44
They were, they were in- Always floating around the Haskells. Yep, that were in several bands. But, um, there were a lot of other bands that got kinda cursory mentions that were very popular in Milwaukee at the time, so.
7:55
I, I, I liked the, uh, Pat Netterbeck- That was, like- Was, was in there for- [laughs] That like blindsided me. Yeah I'm like- Well, Color Radio was huge...
8:03
I'm like, wait a- Like Rick Derringer, uh, did their album for them. Yeah. Yeah. Or their second album. I mean, I, I looked and I'm like, it, uh, was that... I mean, 'cause he was very clean-shaven.
8:14
What does, what does it say on... Is that a Fat Tire tour bag? Yeah, of course. Oh, put it up. Let people see the Fat Tire tour bag. The amazing healing power of beer.
8:22
It was, uh, also for the record, um, Cleon's lunch pail all summer at the Discovery World rentals. Do you remember- He proudly clear, carried that every day. Do you have that rack that we custom-made for that bag- Yep...
8:35
on Fatburger? Yep. Yeah. Jordan. Jordan? Yep. Jordan made a bag, a, a rack- Uh-... for that bag- Bog... that it fits in- Bog... specifically.
8:44
And it was like so far out front, it w- Throws the steering off like a motherfucker. [laughs] Once it was loaded with beer, it was like, "Whoa." Yeah, it was, it was, it has a absolute...
8:53
Yes, I still have it on the bike, and I've used it like three times, and every time like, "I shouldn't do this." [laughs] You know what might be handy? Looks cool. Uh- Handy. Risky...
9:02
uh, so while I was looking at the Marley bikes, let's b- order one for Shannon thing, I saw that the State has this new carbon fork. It, they call it a gravel fork. Gravel fork.
9:13
But it takes up to 2.4 inch 27.5 tires, which is a pretty good sized tire. Thinking of putting one on my, uh, 27.5 Schlick that I'm going to take the stuff off the roll, put it on there, boom. Mm.
9:27
But what, what I'm getting at here is it has this chip gizmo that you can flip around on the dropout so it can change it from 48 mill- whatever the rake is, from 48 to 55.
9:39
So if you had that on that fork, you could probably change your handling and make it handle better with that big goofy ass rack out there. Right. True. Yeah, it's like you gotta do something.
9:48
You gotta drop it or rake it or- Yes... something would make it handle good with a loaded bag of beer. But that's my winter bike now, so- Bog... generally. Bog. Bog. A bog of beer. Anyway, so yeah, you could get that.
10:01
It's like, uh, 299 there at State Bicycle. It's a pretty nice fork, I think. I don't know. It's called the- Pretty reasonable price too... Monster, Monster Gravel Fork V2. Link in the show notes.
10:11
By the way, we do spend a bunch of time on these show notes, at least I do. Mm-hmm. The, the bo- the guys put stuff in here too, you know. Why is Sven a liar? I don't know. What's, why is Sven a liar?
10:20
Sven's a freaking liar. [laughs] I- 'Cause last week he commented that, you know, his almighty- I don't do anything, I don't do anything cryptic... Steven Jobs Apple Kool-Aid fanboys- Jobes...
10:32
uh, Air Tags worked with Android and Windows products, and that is a- Did I say-... flat out lie... I do not believe I said that. I, I- I think- Not only did I listen to it- Did you not get the genitals branded?...
10:42
today- Okay, it does though. It didn't have genitals branding though. It does w- If you have Find My, it'll work, won't it? Come on. It, they do not make that- Get out of here...
10:49
for anything other than a Crapple product. Stop it. You didn't engrave your genitals, that's why. Yeah. That's what I w- I, we did have a long conversation about genitals. That was a good show.
10:58
Well, I'm not- Got a little scary. I don't understand why anyone would want to tattoo their penis. Well- But here we are again. Let me just tell you, this ain't a tech show.
11:07
[sighs] Thank God it's not a tattoo show either by the sounds of it. [laughs] That said, my, uh, my, my Weather XM weather station is finally lining my pockets with money as we speak.
11:20
It's, it's so cool making money and also having a thing that you can look at the weather in your backyard. [laughs] Molly loves it.
11:26
It's, the funniest part about that is, is I got it, Molly was a little miffed at first, and then I, like, showed her the weather, and she's like, "Can I have that, Dad?" And now she just asks, she giggles.
11:35
She's like, "This is so cool." We know exactly [laughs] the wind speed in our yard. She's like, "We know," you know, we... It's, it, and it's very, obviously it's very accurate. Let's go fly a kite.
11:46
It's- I need east wind, so I will be looking at it. I have to get it above my roof now, though. It's a little below the roof, so that's my next- Can you put it on the garage? No, the garage is kinda behind a big...
11:57
My neighbors have these- Oh, got big trees... ridiculously big ass maple trees, and they're just... First of all, one of them is gonna- Yeah, why have evergreens? I'm waiting for one to fall onto my house...
12:05
insurance Yeah [laughs] So I can get a new roof, and a, I can get an addition on the second floor- All right... and all sorts of stuff from that tree branch. [laughs] Right. Just where's the wind?
12:14
That's what I need to know. Excuse me. But, oh. [bell ringing] Ringy dingy ding ding. Because we're, because we're going up that, that 12 to one pitch roof to the top of the hill on the- Yeah... the peak of my roof.
12:28
Tony brought beer today. Do we- One of my, one of my more favorite beers... yeah, we've been kind of recycling the better of the beers. Uh, the fluffer beer today was from last week. It's- That was good... Zombie Dust.
12:39
Zombie Dust. And then- That's a good beer. Kind of- It's a good beer. Which is- Yes you are. Yeah, yes you are. You are a good beer. It's a good beer.
12:45
And now we're gonna tone, tame it down a little with something a little less el cahootsie, as JK likes to say. Yeah, mm. Oh, is that Zombie Dust really that el cahootsie? Mm. Six, five. Yeah, it's sort of in the
12:59
sweet zone for a pale ale. It's right in the pocket. Right in the pocket. Right in the sweet spot. All right. I don't know if this is...
13:08
I think I got a reason why, but if y'all, 'cause we had one of these back in fatbike.com days, the Carver Titanium Obeast fork. I don't know if you remember it. Oh, I kinda remember that.
13:19
I had it on, I think I had it on the very f- the very second [laughs] probably the very second, um, North Paw, and decided that it was a little springy for my taste- Mm... 'cause it's titanium. Mm-hmm.
13:30
Remember that thing? Mm-hmm. Well, that's not the exact fork, but a very similar fork to that is what Jerry had his issue with. Oh, where he died? Yeah. Oh.
13:43
And also, Carver is now recalling the Ti Obeast fork, so do you think that is a co-inky-dink that it happened at the same time? Oh, shit. That's terrible.
13:54
So anyway, if you don't wanna be like Jerry- Don't ride that fork... get rid of your [laughs] fucking Carver Ti Obeast fork. Yeah.
14:02
I mean, these, these things are like 10 years old, and I don't think they've had problem with them previously, but still. Get rid of them.
14:09
I can't, I can't believe that it's a coincidence that now there's a recall and we just lost one of the greatest guys in the mountain biking community- Yeah... up in Hayward, so. That sucks. Yeah.
14:20
Not calling anybody out, but there you go. Mm. Yeah. Yeah. [laughs] So with this Fresh Coast by Three Sheeps, uh, speaking of it being,
14:34
this week being 917 week, I knew- Friday Night Freak Show is where you're going, right? Oh, yes, and there's a pre- w- b- b- b- like a pre-party, pre-happy hour thing-a-ma-jig at... Ah, they rebranded it.
14:49
It, it's- It's like the Triple Brewery- Yeah... Syndicate or something like that... they added- I thought it was Three Sheeps... they added Three Sheeps to it be- and it was Hacienda and Door County? Door County.
14:58
This is the same damn thing. Yeah. Hacienda and Door Co. are the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. So that's just me. But I, I, you know, I'm really... [sighs] I mean- I'm fine...
15:05
no one listens to this, so I can just say I'm like- I'm fine with them... I'm like kinda tired of alright beers. Yep. You know, there's this big fight right now with Ope and, um, Minakwa Brewing because- Yeah...
15:19
Minakwa Brewing came out with a beer called Ope, and the dude from the Minakwa Brewing Company, he's a leftist, and you know, I'm a leftist, but he's a douche. Like, he does all of this just to make himself money,
15:32
and he's doing this fight with Ope and, and so these people are going back and forth, and I responded with this like, "You're gonna make a whole bunch of lawyers a whole lot of money, and at the end of the day, you both make mediocre beer."
15:44
[laughs] Good call. So I'm like, I mean, the, the deal is, is you, you... And don't get me wrong, I, I've been, I've, I've had Minakwa Brewing. It's okay.
15:54
I've been to Ope, and it is- Yeah, I've been there a couple times... it is... Yeah. It's, it's- Okay... okay. The best thing I can say about that place- I like their, their space-...
16:02
is that it's, that it's big and the space- Yeah, I agree with that... and, and- And they have a Chucho's Red Tacos, uh, residency... yeah, like a resident taco truck. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah.
16:11
That's why I like- Yeah, and, and they can- Oh my gosh... they can accommodate a pretty good size group- It's like, oh, they're always there... of people... which is awesome For sure. 'Cause that's some tasty burritos.
16:17
But yeah, I was just, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm getting to the point that there's gonna be a whole lot of breweries that are okay that are gonna eventually have to just go away. Yeah.
16:27
But it was a very diplomatic, uh, retort on your part. Thank you. Much like mine was during the practice run w- with the lady. Yeah? W- oh, you had already gone by. What, where, when? Oh. On climb one.
16:40
Oh, the lady that cut you, that honked at you guys. Oh. Oh. Oh. 'Cause I cut in front of her? Oh, JK, yeah, that was good. I just blocked her and just screamed. Was it...
16:50
Oh, I think- "I hope you have a better day than you're having right now." Oh, I thought, I thought that w- I thought that was m- I thought that was the other Michael. [laughs] No, that was me. Oh, good. Yeah.
17:00
Stopped the lady trying to get, and then tried to drive around you, and you ba- you backed your bike up a little bit- Oh, yeah... and just let her have it. Well, it's the beauties of having a beater like that.
17:08
[laughs] You know, and, and I, and I was able to ride around. Just we're, we're gonna be... In less than a half a block we'll be off the street. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Well, yeah.
17:16
There's one we'll have to be careful of on- Yeah... Saturday. Well, yeah. It's an urban ride. Well, we'll be- It's an urban ride and we have urban ride leaders and float... Well, you definitely have a urban floater.
17:26
Yeah. Um. [laughs] Wow. That doesn't- We're not going by any ponds or pools- That doesn't-... I don't think... that doesn't- I hope not 'cause- That will not-... sounds like an urban floater...
17:34
that said, we're going down Jefferson Street, [laughs] so we won't have that problem. But it goes through the... [laughs] No. Yeah. I know. I'm gonna need help with that one.
17:44
We're all right and we're all- I will miss that turn if you guys don't help me... we're all- Every single time I think about that I'm wrong... we're, we're, we're all... I, I shit you not, I am too.
17:51
Jeff and Jack, I don't know which one of these guys. Exactly, and my dad used to work on damn Jefferson, so I would think that I had a little more foresight, and it just d- d- didn't. Damn it. No, this... You know?
18:03
Damn it, Michael. Come on. I know. There's just gaps. [sighs] There's gaps in this brain of mine. I'm really worried about my job now on Saturday Being the ride leader. Yeah. You got a ride leader shirt on. I do.
18:16
I think I, so I have, so there's- I will float up to you. [laughs] So there are, there are two companies. These are- And say, "Whispers, whispers." Yes. There are two companies that, that are print on demand.
18:25
This is one of them, and they allow you three, three sample shirts to make sure your shit prints correctly. Right. Which I think mostly- That's pretty good...
18:35
I, I, I could do the artwork just slightly better, but no, mo- overall it turned out pretty well. And I haven't gotten the fourth one because that place doesn't offer you the free 30%, or not the 30% off on three shirts.
18:48
You just, I just bought one to check it. See what it looked like. But I think I'll give that to Kenny because he'll be a ride leader. Mm.
18:54
And I wasn't really sure of Bert and Mike's sizes, so I'll get them shirts, but it'll be a little bit after the fact. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know. Ah. I mean, I kinda slacked and started- Sorry... a month ago.
19:06
I'm, I'm more, really I'm more about the route. You and I just did have two kids move into school too. We've had other shit to do. Well, I mean, I did, we, most of us here- The royal we... have ridden this.
19:17
I've ridden it. This'll be my- Me third, yeah... my fifth time when we do the ride. I've done it twice. And it changes every time- He did it twice... but slightly. Oh. You did it once at least. Yeah. Tony did it twice.
19:29
I, twice. Oh yeah, this ride. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
19:32
But it's always kind of for me it's like get together with this five or six people that are planning it, and go hit all the stops, let people know we're coming, have a couple beers.
19:41
And get little input- Pick up Angela... from the people- You, did you-... riding with, going, "Hey, okay, this is better this way. Okay, this is-" Oh, I shank you this way.
19:48
Did you, uh, did you talk about the mandatory tattoo yet? Mandatory tattoo? Yeah. No. On the penis? No. So not on the penis. I should've gotten one of those little tiny things one of the places we're going.
19:57
I should've got it, put it right there, then people'd know where we're going. It'll just be a temporary tattoo on the penis or the genitals. No. The pen is, the pen 15- [laughs] Pen 15...
20:06
is, uh, where I'm putting my next tattoo. I only tattoo. Uh, were you, were you- You... JK... Oh, by the way, it's Tony and JK. They're St- and- Oh yeah, here we- And I'm me. Here we go.
20:20
Uh, JK was a Skate or Die guy, yes? Skate. Uh, yeah, 720. Or die. Die. Yeah, 720, right? 720. Yeah. Arcade stand up. Or Tony Hawk. I played a little bit. And Tony Hawk. But I know, I know the game well.
20:32
Yeah, Tony Hawk too. Well, I just, so w- I don't know what I was doing coming across this, but, um, EA is going to have the 15-year hiatus, they've got a new Skate game coming. [laughs] If, yeah.
20:45
Uh, w- what I liked is it's like Skate- But in like, in like- Maybe it's Skate or Die... like next year... no, no, it's based off their old Skate- Yeah... 'cause it, it w- that was their response to Tony Hawk- Right...
20:53
Pro Skater. Yeah. And it was okay. It was- Tony Hawk Pro Skater... it was different. It had different physics on it. Well, they've got- So it was weird...
21:02
kind of a proof of concept thing out there now, and next year we're supposed to get S- Why not?... a lower case apparently, skate. Skate. Yeah. At least that's the, the- Mm-hmm... the temporary- I like it...
21:13
name for it. I like it. Yeah. Who doesn't like a good skateboard, you know, video game? I want one. [laughs] I still want 720 arcade game in- Yeah, I, I-... if I find a damn place in my house.
21:23
Somebody, somebody over by maybe the UWM or something had, I forget what it was, but it was a, you know, full on cons- Table? Console? Big, big, tall old school video game. Pac-Man or- No, it was something odd.
21:37
720 was a big one. I mean, it- Yeah... took up space. And- Right. No, this was like- Oh, oh, okay... 'cause it had the boom ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom. Yeah. Oh, wow. This was, but it was free and it worked.
21:45
It had a big cabinetry to it. And then, um, got there and it was gone. Bummer. I would've put, it would've been in the other room going bink bink, bloop bloop, bink bink, bloop.
21:52
They always had, um, when Classic Slice had presence on North Avenue for what? A year? Something like that? Oh- Maybe a year... that was so good though. And they had 720. Meat caliber. They had 720 there.
22:06
And I lived in the, uh, on the other side of the alley two houses up at the time. Oh. Oh, man. I would like get home and like grab my coins and just go over, like I'm going to fucking Aladdin's Castle. Mm-hmm.

22:38
Spam of the week. This one was- I don't like spam. This was so, [laughs] was so good. [laughs] I haven't done this for a couple weeks, but this one was good. "I loved as much as you received carried out right here." Oh.
22:52
"The sketch is tasteful. Your authored subject matter stylish nonetheless. You command get, got, and edginess over that you wish being delivered the following.
23:01
On well unquestionably come further formerly again as exactly the same nearly very often inside case you shield this hike." [laughs] Ain't no AI could ever write that. No, no, they could never do that. No way.
23:17
Nope, nope. Nope. No, that's freeform human being doing that right there. [laughs] That's, I don't know. I should, I gotta... Well, they're all in the show notes, of which we now have 272 shows worth. That's Ashley.
23:30
How- however long we keep pummeling- You'd know. And it keeps, it keeps letting us do it though... we can keep pummeling this, uh, this g- this is the same- I don't even know what size this file is now.
23:37
It's probably like four meg. It's, it's- I don't think it can be that terribly much 'cause there- It can't be 'cause there's no any, there's nothing other than links and- There's really no image. Yeah.
23:44
I mean, maybe in the beginning there were some embedded images. I don't think there's any images in it. But for the most part it's all text and link.
23:51
Somewhere on here there's a word count and all that other stuff, but we haven't gotten to the end yet because, you know, this has been what? F- five years? Four years? Five years? Five years?
24:00
Probably five years worth of this and it's all on the same Google Doc. [laughs] That's crazy. Just 272 shows worth of bullshittery. That's why I- I'm, I'm one single document...
24:10
I have to start, I'm gonna, I'm gonna self-publish this as a book. Right. Which you can- This is our life- You can get on Amazon-... on Tuesdays... for like $9,900 per copy.
24:18
[laughs]All we need to sell is two copies And every one And we'll be good. Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, I'm gonna collect this. Oh, I remember like the, the, the opening days of a Apple Store
24:27
when they would have the- Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Apple Store... ah-quel, ah-quel, ah-quel. Um, and then, you know, people would just like slide in,
24:36
yeah, uh, uh, a bunch of free apps, you know, always that, but then paid apps and some of them were just ridiculous. Like couple thousand or couple hundred. Oh, yeah. And then like if you just stupidly hit, yeah.
24:52
You get- And then hit yeah, yeah. And- And then you have to fight that thousand dollar fee. Right. Exactly. Oh, yeah, it sounds like a great... This is Apple, right? Um, it was like, uh- Yeah. This is Apple? No.
25:00
This is Apple. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yes, it was. It was. It sounds like this was Apple. It was the- It was... developers that used the store, not Apple themselves. But Apple was- Apple...
25:09
the gatekeeper. Yes, they are the gatekeeper. Mm. Where was Tim Apple? Or was Steve Apple still alive? Just- I think Steve was... just- You just stop.
25:19
All right You just stop with- Here's something only an iPhone can do when you're- [laughs]... in the middle of nowhere- Suck your blood... and there's a bear, and you don't have a cell signal.
25:29
But you have a satellite, so you can like get a satellite message out from the middle of nowhere. That the bear is killing you? That you see a bear. [laughs] A bear. Sounds like a great idea. [laughs] A bar.
25:41
Well, just if you get... If, if you fall off a cliff and you're at the bottom of a cliff with a boulder on you, you can... As long as you can see the sky- You can send a message that you're dead?
25:52
Y- y- that you may die if you don't get some help. Oh, okay. It's good for back country. You know what? And you know where I think it's gonna be really useful? Some place I'm never going?
26:01
Up there in Hayward, because guess where you don't get good cell signals on AT&T? Where? Hayward. Really? You just, you- Oh, God, it sucks. Verizon you're okay up there, but- AT&T was good.
26:11
Well, I'm thinking about- Horrible... I'm thinking about it Why are we discussing carriers? Because satellite phone- 'Cause we're filling in the time... satellite phone. Stretch. Right there. Satellite phone.
26:23
Just saying. If you're- It's not turning on... if you're in Ant- if you're in Antarctica- What's-... at the South Pole- Mm... and you don't have a cell signal, which they probably do have a cell tower at the South Pole.
26:31
Probably do, you know. Well, that's like when I took the wifi- You can get them... hotspot to Mexico- I-... just to use it- I should probably-... just to see if I didn't have to...
26:37
I should probably tell everyone that watches this podcast, though- Watches?... that- Then look out... after riding home today with my son, Daniel- [laughs] Then look... Daniel has, has- A dress...
26:52
Daniel has updated me, and I promised I wouldn't tell anyone. I'm gonna tell you guys. Hey, you guys. Daniel is Darth Vader. Oh. I saw Darth Vader naked the other day.
27:09
[laughs] Yes. Yes, you did. Darth Vader spends a lot of his time naked. Yeah, he was just wandering around. He's, you know, he's a lot shorter than I thought. [laughs] Yeah, no kidding. He's broad, but he's short. Yeah.
27:24
Must wear like platform boots or something. You've been watching those Family Guys- [laughs]... where Stewie is Darth Vader. He just like, he just tells me that shit randomly as we're riding home. You know something?
27:38
I'm Darth Vader. Darth Vader just died. I know. That's sad. Rest in peace, 'cause that- So sad... he had such great David Letterman, um, you know, top 10s or 10 things someone would say,
27:51
and I couldn't find- Monopolize is the greatest company in the world. I, the one I wanted to find was where he looks at the camera and just goes, "Pinhead."
28:05
But I did find- Was, uh- I s- I saw the, they had the, uh, excuse me, uh, little Belchy the Fresh Coast. Sorry. Quit slamming it. Well, I'm, I'm excited. [laughs] Uh, I'm talking about James.
28:20
James Earl Jones when he did the alphabet on Sesame Street. Oh. That's a good one, too. And very, very slowly to enunciate it, for he was a stutterer- Ah... in his youth. Oh, is that right?
28:34
And he wanted- That's a fun fact... all the children. Just like Mr. Biden. Yep. So yeah. It was rad. So between that one and my son walks- [laughs] Did you-... coming to America. What other voice- No...
28:48
is more known from the sound of it than James Earl Jones? Uh, do you guys know the band J- Gilbert Gottfried... James, James Addiction? S- since we're on James- James... James, James Addiction. Good one. Hey. Mm.
28:59
And to me, that's the sound- And that's the sound of sex... of sex. Give it to me no other way. Give it to me hard and fast. Is that Perry Farrell or someone? Sure, sure is... then slowly, James, and give to me tenderly.
29:15
[laughs] And I just, and I just punched my bandmate and fucked our whole tour up. No shit. I was- Now you can go suck an egg. Yeah.
29:22
I was ready to poach the show on Sunday behind the BMO, and nuh-uh, I don't get- And I don't get any damn Love and Rockets. That's the bummer. That's the biggest part of that. All right. That's the biggest bummer.
29:31
Navarro? Cool, since he quit whatever drugs he was doing. What about, what about Eric, uh, b- putting Perry in a choke hold [laughs] and shit and punching him in stomach a few times? Why not, man? That's great.
29:43
Well, once you're gonna get your licks in- Stand up for the base- Boom. Boom. Boom... stand up for the base players or whatever. Anyway, so they- Steven Bergen's-... obviously canceled the rest of that tour. Yeah.
29:51
I, well, not immediately. I was like, "Eh, maybe they just, you know, work-" 'Cause it was supposed to come to-... just, just work it out a little bit.
29:58
I liked EVM's post that, you know, uh, he's suspecting, and we can have our fingers crossed, that Love and Rockets will do their own tour. Uh, or some- And be a headliner... something with- In which case I'm there...
30:12
something with Daniel Ash and- Yeah, they could-... David J... they could come by here. I would be okay with that. It wouldn't[laughs] Hmm. Well, that was awkward. There's some stuff in there. I saw it. I, so I put up...
30:24
Look at the chessboard. I, I saw the chessboard. I was very excited about it. I'm not... Okay, I don't really- Do those pieces move? Yeah. Oh, fuck. They're mag- I'm gonna kick your ass at chess... they're magnetic.
30:34
Cool. So I d- Cool... I f- I forgot my chess, whether... I think that's gotta be the king, and that's gotta be- King... that's gotta be the queen. King. So the queen, this is... Is this Queen's Gambit or something here?
30:49
I dunno. Whatever. It looks like a- It looks good... it looks like a good opening salvo from both sides. Yeah, I do. I like it. I like it a lot. So yeah, these are like c- this, these are interesting.
31:01
They're little clay pieces- Oh, neat... with a magnet inside and a magnet outside- Oh... that sticks to the board. That's fancy. So you can play- I love it... you can play vertical chess. Vertically.
31:15
And then that dude, look at that dude. [laughs] Play vertical chess. These are of course all W- [growls] These are all WMSE art auction pieces. Yes. That was a couple years ago. This was last year. Donkey Land.
31:28
That was several years ago. Donkey Land was last year. Donkey Land. I just... Guys- Guys... you gotta get this stuff. You gotta- That's, that's of the Nuski.... support your local artist. That's of Nuski. I know.
31:38
I gotta get more of Nuski. Yeah, that's of Nuski. He's got another one for me, for 50. Mm. $50. Also, I know you don't care for the, uh, the, uh, art bar so much, but they've got the little tiny art thing coming up.
31:53
I know. I think it's not- I have a picture of my daughter when I did care about art bar. That's in tiny art... it's not till November, but it's all little tiny art. I know what the fuck tiny art is. No, tiny art.
32:01
You can buy a bunch of tiny art. It makes great Christmas presents. Buy like five of them- Yeah... 'cause they're inexpensive. Could be. Relatively speaking. Could be expensive too, depending on.
32:08
They can't be more than 50, I think. My daughter Cleona was very expensive. It was way more than 50. She bought a bunch. No, she was, Cleona's one of the tiny art. Oh, okay. [laughs] Our friend Dan painted her.
32:21
Rest in peace, Dan. Uh. But you can't s- they have to go for a s- under a specific amount of money. It's not an auction. Really? Yeah. That changed. But you're right, I'm not a fan of art bar.
32:32
I'm not going to see them anyway, so who cares? Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, murm- We do... murm, murm, murm. They have such good food at Wonder Bar too. Big huge eggs. They're so huge.
32:41
They're like from an ostrich. All right, everybody. Do you know about my egg allergy? No. I am allergic to eggs, motherfucker- Get the fuck-... so thanks for bringing it up... get the fuck out of here. I mean it.
32:54
No, it's, it's super mild. I know it. I'm really not that, I'm not that allergic. I'm just like- Not allergic to carbohydrates, that's for sure. That's, no.
33:00
After I had, after I had those potatoes at your house- Weren't they awesome? [laughs] Were those potatoes not kickass? They, they were good. [laughs] They were kickass. So were the sausages.
33:07
Do you know the secret love was? Some kind of sauce from Penzies, I would imagine. Nope. Butter. Butter. Oh. I got- Oh... two Har- Hungarians from, uh, Damien. Oh, those are good. Speaking of, uh- They were delicious...
33:20
speaking of delicious sandwiches, Night Owl, no line today. Yeah, you said that. Mm-hmm. It's kickass. And anybody coming to Milwaukee- Rub it, rub it, rub it. No shit.
33:28

33:37
And then we won't be back until the end of March, beginning of April, 'cause that's how we do it. You know, since we do this podcast and people could not only hear and watch me, I'm just gonna...
33:46
You know, I almost sent Greg a picture of my butthole. Greg who? Sven, a picture of my butthole. Sven doesn't have butthole. You know, the guy that lies about Apple products? That guy. Nah. This is about bleaching.
33:57
