It's gonna be loud.
0:06
[heavy metal music] Hey, everybody.
0:23
This here be your Full Spectrum Cycling Show number 305. 305, area code of, uh, Miami. Miami, Florida. Miami? All right then. Now we got something. We got something. Is it- I did a little homework.
0:36
Everybody- Is it, is it every three-digit number an area code somewhere maybe? Most likely. But yeah. It's how they get- I looked up 305 and, uh, well, Pitbull is called Mr. 305, 'cause he saw things and...
0:49
But I'm not gonna- [laughs] I'm not going down that way.
0:52
Uh, s- sometime in the past, uh, Stage Rigging, the company I worked for in Vegas, uh, Marcus, who I also worked with in Las Vegas, did a show that was a quinceañera. Oh, okay.
1:03
Which would be your 15-year-old, like, coming out party kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pitbull played, and it cost over one million dollars. My goodness. Yeah.
1:16
It was the, it was the person, the lady who was one of the attorneys for the GM lawsuit where there was the c- the ignition gizmo and they won 600 million bucks- Oh, sure...
1:26
or something, so whatever the lawyers got out of that deal, she had enough to have- Hanging out on Star Island. Oh, they were in some, some, in Texas in some- Oh, Texas... like arroyo or something. I don't know.
1:36
It was just like... But Pitbull was there and, and the company had to do the rigging and the stage and all that stuff. And it- Eh. Is your...
1:42
I'm not saying your- It was probably a very special day for the little lady I'm not saying your daughter's not worth a million bucks, but why don't you just give her the million bucks and then tell Pitbull go back to the 305?
1:52
[laughs] Yeah, a buddy from high school, his daughter just had a- Oh... quinceañera over the weekend. There you go. It's a big thing, isn't it? It- Yes. All right. Stuff. But he didn't pay a million dollars.
2:05
[laughs] Well, yeah, like probably nobody- He stayed in the 414. We're gonna say a l- uh, area codes on this one. Yeah. Right on. Uh, speaking of, 414 right there. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
2:15
Actually, I've been thinking about this. I don't know where I have... Oh, the ba- the pack of them is over there.
2:19
I took the one down here that said, "Fuck hate," because I'm wondering if, uh, you know, like, YouTube's, like, reading [laughs] the video- [laughs]...
2:28
and it's like, "We're not showing this guy's shit because it says fuck you." But, um, anyway, I was thinking about this, and I don't know how I'm gonna do it yet. Parent- Maybe, uh- Parenthetical, overthinking this.
2:38
Right. [laughs] Just some way to get... 'Cause these are Steve Booth originals, and there's- Yeah... not very many of them.
2:44
But I have a couple of the 414s, and I have a couple of the dumpster fires as well as the other one. And just thinking about doing another giveaway instead of, uh, sticker packs that I did last time,
2:55
because Fatbike.com would like you to subscribe to their newsletter, and that would be very good, and we would give you some stuff. So that might be one of them.
3:04
Uh, I am debuting that idea right now, so [laughs] I just thought of it. Yes. It has no, it has no form. There are always- It has- There are always advantages- It has no shape...
3:13
yes, there's advanta- [laughs] the, the nebulous, yes. But there are always advantages to signing up for multiple newsletters. Absolutely. Uh, yes. And, uh- It's not all junk mail. You get good shit out of some things.
3:24
Well, this- Like this one... so w- w- uh, it- Like I was getting tickets out of... Yeah. Yeah. That, that, it works.
3:29
Well, this whole, this whole last week, it's been a, it's been a plethora of, uh, old industry people saying, "Hey, can you review this stuff? Hey, would you do this? You know, blah, blah, blah. It's...
3:38
We, we can't really pay you money, but you can keep the stuff" kind of a deal. Sure. Barter. I'm like, "All right. Well, keep sending it in.
3:45
You know, we'll, we'll talk about your stuff," because, you know, you got your Fatbike.com audience out there, and, uh, y- for your Full Spectrum Cycling audience, too, to be fair. [dog howling] To be fair.
3:57
[shushing] Oh, that was a terrible dog. It, yeah. What a, what an awful dog. A little hyena- What's that?... poodle terrier thing that sounded like it was having a panic attack. Yeah. And [whooshing] [laughs]
4:09
You may have, you may have, you may have noticed when you walked in today that the, the studio too is quite cleared out now. Yes, yes. It's begging for- Well, I'm-... some- I am thinking next week-... elbow grease...
4:20
I'm thinking next week we will be actually in studio too, at the o- Oh, yeah... at the old desk. See how it works. Because that's really all that's left to do is move that thing and...
4:30
Well, then we have to decorate the walls and stuff, but- That's what he said... I don't know. I'm thinking maybe we'll have a... I, I got some ideas. We can live- Shut up, Peewee. I, I see you over there.
4:39
[laughs] [growls] Mr. Lizard. Uh, quick Milwaukee stuff, WMSC Pin Smash and Vinyl Bash at Falcon Bowl on May 31st. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. They are cleaning out some of their old records.
4:53
I don't know if everybody that's a record seller is gonna be there that's not part of MSC, but at least some of the vast library of vinyl from WMSC- Yeah... will be on offer. Yeah, they do- Starting at a dollar.
5:05
Oh, that's also CDs. I assume the CDs are the dollar zone. Yeah, I got a feeling they're gonna have a handful of the 78s. Huh. I would think. Well- 'Cause what I heard- Hey, guess who plays that?...
5:14
is that they were, they were s- they were swinging, uh, like a lot in, in storage. Doesn't, uh, doesn't TC play a lot of those 78s?
5:22
[laughs] Uh, so if you're in Milwaukee, that would be a good time to go check out the old vinyl- Actually, we do need to... vinyl, vinyl variety. Do we?
5:30
Also, I believe Von Munds may be there doing some- Yeah, he's gonna be selling-... uh, posterage... selling posters and- Can't remember what the one I just- I don't know if he's...
5:38
I don't think he's parting with any of his collection. One of the ones- 'Cause anytime that he's selling his g- uh, he was selling his things at the factory where he works. Right. Or like, or has space.
5:51
[laughs] And so I'm looking through the, um, the book, his book, you know, dun-dun-dun, okay, looking through the album and whatever, and right next to it is a stack of vinyl
6:04
And I don't know, so I start going through the vinyl. He's like, "No, nuh-uh. Those are mine." [laughs] "I was just down at the Atomic to... No, no, no, that's what I went in and grabbed." I'm like, "No, just observing."
6:16
[laughs] Right on. But I, I didn't quite know that at the moment, but- I-... I had to play it cool. [laughs] I did just see one poster that was all black light-y. I don't remember what it was for. Oh, yeah.
6:27
Um, b- do you, do you, do you- It was- Adult, I don't wanna say. Yeah, I think you're right. At Cactus Club or something- Right... probably. But yeah, uh, one more Milwaukee thing.
6:37
This- Oh, and the day before that is the Probability of, uh, Bay View Gallery Night rollout out of, uh, Rushmore Records. Oh, well, that would be good. What's that?
6:45
So Bill put out the call, um- What, what's that alleged date? The 30th. Friday the 30th. And then that same weekend would be also, uh- The-... Tour, Tour de Towner would be the S- Oh, that's Sunday... the Sunday. Right.
6:59
So that's gonna be a good weekend. It could be. Another weekend in Milwaukee, baby. It could be. It could be. Another weekend in Milwaukee, baby. Hey, speaking of Milwaukee, I'm not- Been walking in Milwaukee...
7:07
I guess we're not done- Oh, walking in Milwaukee... with Milwaukee yet. Uh, y- the- We're never done. Yeah, never done.
7:11
You folks may have remembered in the past that our friend Lloyd's bike was stolen out of his garage just a few short blocks away from the old studio here. Mm-hmm. Apparently, s- it was recovered.
7:21
It certainly looked like it. It looked like it had been recovered. I know, I know how you can identify it, because the seat post is still [laughs] backwards in the picture that the recover-er posted.
7:33
I thought he had different- You're like-... uh, I thought he had a different wheel set on it, but- Turn the seat post around, and it was like- I don't know... looky there...
7:39
I, the only thing I can think of is I thought he had different tires on it. Well, I don't mean- But what I think is, what happened is whoever got it or stole it swapped them out with some other kind of tire- Huh...
7:51
or a different wheel set. I think. Well, I think we'll- I don't know. Conspiracy theory... think we'll take a look at it. This is the good, this is the good conspiracy theory kind of a vibe. Um- Right on...
7:59
but you can always tell because it's, uh... I, my, my tell was the, uh, his, uh, Kryptonite lock, which is red, and it's so sun faded that it's like- Isn't it still locked-... soft-... to the bike?... soft pink. Yeah.
8:13
Yeah. Yeah. All right, so here, here actually is the final thing. I just think this is clever. This is, this is a guy that does, uh, the, some manufacturing something podcast. Can't remember exactly what it's called.
8:25
Yeah, Manufacturing Happy Hour. Manufacturing Happy Hour, which we saw at Amorphic, and he also does the, uh, Three Minute Thesis stuff.
8:32
But he also has a, a social site which he says, it's a Milwaukee based support your local scene account with an emo bias. It is MKEmo. Uh-huh. Isn't that clever? Yeah. Clever. What, uh, MKEmo.
8:48
I know they had a show over at, uh, at Amorphic on Saturday? Saturday, I wanted to say it was.
8:54
I was stopping in for a quick one on the way home, and then the s- then the bangers were happening in there, so I stopped and checked it out, and tried to get around to mosh again.
9:01
There was no mosh pitting at emo shows, apparently. Oh, come on. There's a little pogoing. Pogoing. No, no, you, you get in there- Pogoing... you get close and then you do the, you know, the, ah, ah. The, [laughs]
9:11
it was- The, the little, the angry little, like, circle jerk, uh- Oh, yeah. That's sort of, uh-... ex post... like, like, a old school, uh, uh- Warp, yeah... Warped Tour kind of stuff. Kind of. Uh. Yeah, yeah.
9:23
But it's funny watching, like, a lot of kids doing that in action. [laughs] 'Cause that happened at El Rongo at High Dive. Na, na, nee, nee, nee, nee.
9:30
And there was like four of them that were just, like, getting, like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And yeah, and Bill, myself, we're just like, "What the hell is going on?" Oh, yeah. "This is crazy."
9:39
What are you little crazy kids doing? Yeah. It did my heart well. All right. Well, I'm not saying we won't talk about Milwaukee again, 'cause we probably will, but- All roads lead there...
9:46
there's all sorts of stuff this week. I, I was surprised, 'cause, you know, kinda keep my eyes peeled for, uh, stuff. Uh-huh. This has nothing to do with cy- Well, it kinda does.
9:55
I think there might be a motorcycle or a bike on it. But do you have, do you have Roku at home? Yeah. Do you have the screensaver? Yeah. Did you ever look at all the movie references in said screensaver? Not really.
10:06
It, like, scrolls by, and you're like, "Oh, there's Prince's bike. There's, there's, uh, E.T.'s, uh, the, the bicycle." Oh, nice. E.T. was in the basket. I was just like, and you just...
10:13
We w- Brad Dixon and I and, and Allison sat and looked at that thing, I swear, for, like, an hour. We're like, "Oh, yeah?" Oh, nice. "There's, there's that."
10:21
And it just keeps scrolling by, so you get a chance for it to come by again. Oh, yeah. It was like the old, um, mm, I think it was the Ham's, um, tavern sign that was rotating and backlit.
10:33
And it would go from, like, from Vegas- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah... and then it would go, like, to Egypt. And then- Ham said some good stuff. I, I always liked- [laughs]...
10:40
I always liked just the land of sky blue waters rushing river one. Waters. That was a nice one. A very animated- Old Style as well... river. Yeah... had a, had a nice river.
10:48
So if you have Roku and you got a scrolling screensaver, you should go ahead and check that out, 'cause that's hours, I, I'm telling you, hours of entertainment.
10:54
Essentially, what he's saying is just turn your TV on and wait. Yeah, till it pops up. And then go, "Hey, everyone, get around-" I, I think- "... gather around the campfire."
11:01
[laughs] I think the Brewer game ended or something, and it was like, "Yep, oh, that's what's-" Right on... "on. It's that thing." [laughs] Oh, boy. Uh, hey, oh, here's Wisconsin. We're, we're out of Milwaukee now.
11:11
We're going over to La Crosse. And I talked about Old Style and [laughs] Yeah. Yeah... see, it all lives. From the land of sky blue waters. Waters. Uh, waters. Over there in, in our state in La Crosse- The Driftless...
11:25
they're spending some major money on an, on a farm. I don't know... I guess it must have been donated- Sure... to the area, because they're spending $6 million, uh, to turn it into a mountain biking hub.
11:37
Now, La Crosse already has some good mountain biking, because they have, whatever, 400 vertical feet o- off the Mississippi there, or whatever the actual elevation is. But they were some sort of disparate trails.
11:51
I don't know if this thing, how this thing is gonna connect everything up, but it sounds like a fantastic plan- Yeah. Yeah... for our state. It'll make it a destination for mountain biking.
12:00
Kinda like Bentonville of the, uh, of the north. Yeah, it looks... Oh, there it is. Yeah, if you're gonna spend 6 mil- Ooh, they got more mushrooms in the area, too. You can go hunting for more of those.
12:13
Didn't one of them look kind of like a phallic mushroom kind of thing? Penis, yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, those are, those are f- uh, those are actually penes or pen15 mushrooms.
12:25
Those don't look like the kind that would be taken on a trip across the lake on the Badger Ferry, though. [laughs] Well, they'd be delicious. [laughs] Yeah, I don't think they would have any, uh, psilocybic...
12:37
Well, yeah. No, so, uh, yeah, it looks... There's a m- a map of the proposed, uh, stuff, and they're gonna make it happen.
12:44
And on, right at the bottom of the screen, they must have some kind of Google AdWords or something. This, all this is on Singletracks. No wonder. It says, "Arkansas: No Ordinary Adventures." [laughs] Right.
12:54
[laughs] Which, uh, kinda, kinda point you down to Bentonville again there somehow. But, uh, uh, uh- Oh, yeah, that's a... Okay, so that's, like, all one person, was one person's farmland. Shit. Yeah.
13:04
Well, in the olden times, people had a bunch of land to run their, run their cows on and stuff. "Chalet site and warming hut." Ooh.
13:10
That's where you got your milk from back in the old days, before they synth- Then you had the ice-... before they synthesized it... the icebox. Yeah. Probably got your ice off the Missip' River there. It, yeah. Yeah.
13:22
So, check that out. It's a link in the show notes. I mean, go ahead and eyeball that because, heck, y- you could hardly do better than 6 million bucks on mountain biking, unless it was, uh, 6 million bucks on fat biking.
13:34
How did that... How, how would that work? [laughs] I dunno. Oh, hey. Hey. Um, all right, so, uh, what the heck is next on the list? I was trying to figure out how to...
13:45
'Cause I'm thinking of revamping the weekly dose of fat, but kind of as just a 15-minute news thing, just me, "Oh, here's a thing. Here's a thing. Here's some stuff. Here's some deals."
13:55
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Trying to figure out how- News flash...
13:57
yes, but h- trying to figure out how to have my handsome mug on, but then also screen share, which I had kinda figured out before, and then I figured I'd remember, and then I didn't, so now I was trying to figure it out again.
14:10
But, uh, hey, maybe look for that in a few weeks. I dunno. That sounds like something that I should do, though. Uh, our friends at Park Tool, if you're a Park Tool person, you know the blue tools. Oh, yeah.
14:21
Kinda like that blue Park boom box the, uh, California Raisin has right there. [sings] Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. [sings] Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, bum. Anyway, uh, they are giving away stuff for free. Well,
14:35
it's free if you have a 3D printer. So they have these 3D-printed holders for tools, which I think would go into something... I don't know if you... You can't see that, but over there is a pegboard-y thing. Yeah.
14:47
I believe they hook into pegboards, and it makes a bunch of sense to put your tools on the wall, 'cause they're stuff you'd use a lot. And, uh, you can get those for free. There's a link in the show notes for that, too.
14:59
Uh, buh, buh, burp. Oh, yeah, I didn't, uh, I didn't really say...
15:05
I didn't s- write down too much about this, but if you're in the Portland, Oregon area and you wanna go over to the coast, like we had talked recently about the Cannon Beach Fat Bike Festival, which happened m- last weekend or weekend before, something like that.
15:20
We talked about it not too long ago in that it is an iconic beach and it has that haystack thing. It's not, it's not Haystack onion rings, but it's a haystack, and it's a rock, and it looks like a stack of hay.
15:31
I think that's why they call it the Haystack. On Cannon Beach, but here's the scoop. Mm. You can now get a bus service to take you and your bike to the coast so you don't have to drive your car all the way over there.
15:44
Okay. And there are... I think there- And then you can get your full Goonies adventure on? Yeah, exactly, and there's two different routes, and there's three different stops, and blahbity, blahbity, blah.
15:53
It sounds like a good plan to me. I wanna look deeper into that one, because if that's dancing around the Astoria area, 'cause then, then you can- Yes, it, I think Astoria is one of the stops...
16:02
'cause that is absolute Goonies ride. You wanna talk a f- Goonies ride, yeah. Yeah. That would resuscitate. That would. [laughs] The buses, the buses are equipped with free Wi-Fi, charging ports, and restrooms.
16:13
If you wanna bring your bike, make sure you book a large items ticket. And, uh, it, you can bring a bike that weighs up to 50 pounds, which excludes almost every E-bike, which is- Whatever.
16:28
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What are they gonna do? What they call a regular-sized bike. I'm thinking fat bikes would make it. My fat bike's 29 pounds, so I could definitely bring that. Exactly. Right.
16:37
Oh, that's- Um, it launches Friday, May 23rd, and will operate through s- Fridays through Sundays through the end of August. And go. [bell rings] Ding-a-ling, ding, ding, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling.
16:51
I was feeling like an altar boy. Oh. [laughs] You, you and Pope Leo and all that business? Hey, we have a pope that probably has had Malort. Ah, well, I, I- I never thought of that until somebody...
17:04
It, it floated across the- I don't think that p-... social sphere, and I was like, "You know?" Malort-having popes are a bad call. No. No, no, no. That's a- And he probably stopped at the Lake Park or Lake Forest Oasis.
17:18
That I have not done in 20 years, I bet. But you've gone by. But I have gone there in the past. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta stand over the freeway and look at the cars going by. Exactly. It's like, "Hey."
17:26
Even though the Wendy's is gone, because that was the, that was the pole. Part of the pole. Yeah, you certainly don't wanna get gas there. It's like a buck more than anywhere else. Oh. Oh, yeah.
17:36
It's like, "Oh, you're stupid enough not to have gotten gas when you got here? Yeah, we're gonna charge you for it, for sure." [laughs] Uh, you rang the bell? Yes, uh- [sings] You rang my bell.
17:46
[laughs] [sings] Rang my bell. Uh, got the, uh, fresh Deschutes IPA, uh, variety pack. Yeah. So it, it normally has, like, the fresh squeezed is one of them. I just- It's the fresh pack. Yeah.
18:02
The, like, they always have the fresh squeezed. They have- I know they're gonna fall out if I do it this way, but- Again. [laughs] Got your fresh squoze. So I had a grapefruit IPA, Citrus Dive. Good. Yeah.
18:12
It's not overpowering. None of these are.
18:15
The other one is a tropical, tropical hops I got the tropical fish, oh, Tropical Fresh I- India pale ale Fresh Loaded with- Is that like the fresh baked potato on a- It's born in Bend, Oregon, so if you wanna go a little further south- Oh...
18:29
of Astoria... Oregon. Oh my God, everything is synchronicity. Oregon. Okay, is- Oregon... Oregon? Oregon. Yeah, full moon. [laughs] It's working. It's working its m- weird magic.
18:41
So down at, but down Bend way, I think that's a little further south of where you're... And it's- Sure... I got a guy. I got a guy in Bend. I got a guy there. I know a guy. I know a guy in Bend. You know a guy. 414, yo.
18:54
More numbers. So, um, yeah, their, Deschutes has always been a- Yeah... decent, if not spectacular. And consistent, not like- Tropical five, uh, check mark. Citrus, uh, two, and then crisp four. 6.5% on the old fresh,
19:13
fresh. Did it say six and a half? This one says six point five. Really? That's what mine says. Huh. What's yours says? Oh, it does. This one's a 6.0-er. Yeah.
19:24
Well, I, 'cause I thought the box said everything's six foot, six, 6%. Well- Which, whatever... half a percent's not gonna make much of a difference. If, if it was only a point- [laughs] Yeah... point five- Understood.
19:34
Yeah, yeah... it would be an NA, basically, right? Yes, yes, yes. [laughs] Uh, righty. On, on to more stuff.
19:42
So Revel, I think we talked about R- Revel a couple weeks ago, about them, after Sea Otter, three days, saying they're shutting down. Yeah. [laughs] And you're like, "Wait, what?" So apparently s- there are now
19:57
peoples who are going to revive and/or buy the brand. There are rumors that it may be a large bike company. Mm-hmm. A T or an S, possibly. But maybe not, who knows? I don't know. But it's, it's interesting.
20:11
And they, if you still, if you wanna get one for inexpensively, you can go to that website still now because they haven't, uh, consummated or, uh, [laughs] they haven't, they haven't consummated or...
20:23
What, what's the word? Not consummated. That'd be what happens at a continue- [laughs] Whoa. No. [laughs] Hey-o. Hey-o. Uh. All right, Don Rickles over here. [laughs] Jesus. All right then. Hey, where's my thing?
20:38
Oh, it's not over there. That's right, dingbat. [laughs] Dingbat. Um, you can, you can go there and, and still get a, a Ritual. I don't know if they got these in stock, Rituals and Reruns. The Rerun, remember Rerun?
20:50
[laughs] Um, they had- Yeah, yeah... that was a, a, a, was- That's right, Rog. Hey, hey. Hey, hey Rog. What's happening?
20:58
That was a Rerun, uh, eEnduro, uh, insane electric Enduro bike, which 170 millimeter travel thing. Can you believe it? It was really, really long. But, uh, I don't know. Maybe it's coming, maybe it's not.
21:15
Enduro racers and park rats. [laughs] It's a park, what's a park rat? And y- are they gonna let an, an, an eEnduro bike at a park? I guess. You have to catch it first. Well, it's the new thing. Oh. It's the new thing.
21:30
Uh, so that is in the works. I would, you know... They made good stuff. I wish they... I don't know if they even still make the titanium fat bikes they used to when they were, when Y was a separate brand.
21:42
They made some nice ti fat bikes. Kind of on the order of the, uh, Bearclaw, but, uh, anywho, let's see what goes on with that.
21:52
Here's the, here's the news of the week, though, and we're back- Dee, dee-dee, dee, dee-dee... we're, we're, we're back from Oregon. Now we're in Wisconsin once again. Here comes Kermit eFrog.
21:59
Well, we're not actually necessarily only in Wisconsin. In fact, we're in Santa Ana or wherever State Bicycles is based. As, as you, as you fine reader, listener, know- I thought they were in Arizona for some reason...
22:11
oh, they are in Arizona. You're damn, damn straight you got a memory there. Hey. Yeah, they're down there in Arizona. Occasional, occasional bike space. I think they ride up, I think they go to Santa Ana sometimes.
22:18
That's it. Uh, so these guys, the, these guys with the, with the State Bicycle Company are, they're the collaboration kings of the bike industry. Yes. Yeah, as evidenced by JK's, uh, w- w- uh, Ripndip, Ripndip collab.
22:36
Yes. Fuck you, you fucking fuck. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Um, I don't think mine was necessarily a collab. It's just a 420, which collabing with 420 is kinda like, eh. Uh- Right, just- But they have done-... theming it...
22:47
yeah, right... 'cause they started just doing kinda theme- Grateful Dead. Yeah. Um, all, uh, Beatles- Sabbath... Yellow Submarine, Sabbath. They've done tons of stuff.
22:54
So now the most recent thing they've done is collaboratorated with the, uh, NFL. That'd be your, uh, nuggety football league there. It- National flo- [laughs]... throwball. [laughs] Throwball. Throwball League.
23:09
Well, throwball. Well, apparently our, uh, glorious Green Bay Packers are in the top 10, I would imagine, because they have 10 teams that they have collaborated with to do, to do clunkers at, in the beginning. Yeah.
23:23
I think they're doing other stuff, too. But, uh, the, our, our Green Bay Pack, they had, there's a clunker, Green Bay Packer clunker. It's nice. It's- Yeah... it, it, it's sharp looking. Yeah.
23:33
Uh, the color scheme- I'm guessing-... works nicely... kinda guessing they're gonna do 200 of each. It seems like that's- Sure... sorta what they do. I saw the jersey that is sold out.
23:41
Well, or they didn't get 'em in yet. I don't know, but they got- It might just say sold out... they got other ones that are in. Oh, okay. I'll just say that. Oh. But it is sharp for being a, to have Packer gear.
23:51
Well, I, I do think the Packers are like- And if you live in Wisconsin, eh, you gotta have, you know, some requisite Packer gear... pretty sure the Pa- I'm pretty sure the Pack is top three on merch sales.
23:59
Oh, yeah, easily. Cowboys, Packers, Raiders- Packers' shit travel well, yeah... would probably be the top three. I was disappointed to see not the, there was no Washington Commanders. That's my s- my one-off team.
24:09
Probably, yeah. But it's a co- uh, but, like, maroon and, like, mustard color, that's a cool, uh, color- For your-... color combo... for the Commandants? Yeah. Yeah. Well Yeah.
24:21
Or the old Redskins I just remember our friend Cobra. You may remember Cobra. Cobra. Remember Cobra? Used to, used to hang out at the old dive.
24:30
He was a s- Redskins fan, but now he's, "They're dead to me, these Commanders," 'cause- They're not the Redskins... they're not the Skins anymore. Yeah, so.
24:39
But anyway, uh, so not only do they have the clunkers, I believe they're going to do, uh, some of the Corline, like, just normal street fixie whatever, whatever/single speeds. But they also have saddles- Yeah...
24:53
and they have cycling caps, and they have frame bags for the clunker, and they have a handlebar bag, and they have end plugs for your bar ends, and they have, uh, stem caps and all sorts of other NFL propaganda/paraphernalia.
25:06
Yeah. I mean, even the, even the Bear ones. I mean- Oh, yeah... I got a... I, I know enough Bear fans that would be like, "Hey, that's kinda cool." Yeah.
25:13
I mean, I, I would- If it, if it's got- I'll throw you a shade no matter what, but- If it's, uh-... eh... if you can get Mallards on there, we're good to go. Right? I do like, uh, I do like orange and blue.
25:21
Those are good colors. Yeah. That's what I mean. I mean- Yeah. Oh, yeah. You found all the jerseys. And, and... Yeah. And then, like, yeah, Pittsburgh- Oh, the Steelers, Chiefs... Pittsburgh's, I mean, Pit- Yeah...
25:28
Pittsburgh almost looks like a hockey sweater. But- Yeah, those are... Yeah. Well- Bears, then you can look like Duck Coach. [laughs] Duck Coach. Duck Coach.
25:38
So yeah, tons of stuff, and I just, I- And their saddle, whoever, however they get their saddles or however they make their saddles, they're comfy.
25:46
Well, that's good to know, 'cause you don't wanna sit on an uncomfortable honkum. Well. You don't want an uncomfortable [laughs] honkum metal shoved up your [laughs] Shoved up [laughs]... for f- for five years.
25:57
So I kept that [laughs] whole piece of metal. In my ass. Up my ass. [laughs] Ah, yes. Christopher Walken movie. 'Cause it was your, it's your birthright. [laughs] I'll be damned.
26:10
[laughs] Uh, again, needing to watch the movie again. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I've watched it recently, but it's been, like, scattershot while it's in the background and then- Sure... I missed that scene.
26:23
Yeah, that's k- [clears throat]... kind of the penultimate scene of the movie. [laughs] All right. So that's State Bicycles and their collec- So again, these guys- Keep it up. Keep it up, State Bike.
26:33
So how do these guys, how do these guys do it? They just, they get these deals. It's great. And, um, keep doing it because- Yeah, they got the good- [laughs] We're, we're s-... blueprints and then just- We're s-...
26:43
slap on some other fun stuff... we're suckers for your stuff, 'cause- Yeah... it's a licensing deal, and these, so these bikes are 499, so a chunk, 50 bucks or whatever that is- Well, yeah, it was like when they did-...
26:53
is going to the NFL... when they did the, uh, Dead collaboration. Yeah. And then, like, the, uh, um, the color scheme of it, I was like, "I did that first." Yeah. [laughs] You did. Yeah.
27:05
[laughs] I was like, "I designed that damn first." Yeah. I, and I know they weren't, like, looking at me. Right. No. But- But that was-... great minds, great minds think alike, kind of...
27:12
that was a good, uh, a good tr- That... You still have that bike. Mm-hmm. It's got the- I have to, I have to- Does it have the fat tire wheels upon it? It has the... It, yes.
27:21
