1:17
John, uh, John and I spent, uh, 11 years old through 16 years old in Shorewood, and, uh, he visited Sunday night. Went to dinner with, uh, his wife and my lovely bride, Wendy. Had a fantastic meal at Mason Street Grill.
1:34
Oh, right the hell on. In the Pfister Building Hotel area on the corner. Mm-hmm. I did not... I, well, I guess I did know, but Greg Marcus is the, uh, the guy of the old Mark's Big Boy. Well, the family anyway. Sure.
1:47
Yeah. But the- I mean, it's a Marcus- Yeah... thing... corporation thing. Dun, dun-dun, dun. Yeah. I, I had forgotten that- Milwaukee always You betcha. Yeah. So thank you, John, for dinner.
1:56
It was awesome, and I know you listened to the last show, so hopefully you'll listen to the next one. While he was flying somewhere doing some- something. Was there a croustiment, some goat cheese upon it?
2:09
Uh, we had a little crab cake. We had some, uh, we had some really- I just want my goat cheese on my, on my steak. We had, uh... I don't know if I'd get- I don't know if they have it.
2:17
I haven't looked at their menu for a while... so they, they actually had a bone. You know, a bone, with, with marrow and- Yeah... and stuff up in it. Hell yeah. Hell, yeah. That was- Yeah, yeah. That was good.
2:27
Whatever was in there, that was good stuff. Marrow. Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Might've had some garlic or something in there- Yes... and, and whatnot. Yes, yes, yes. Yep. Yep, yep. Yes- Mm... it was decent. And- Yeah...
2:36
and- That's like going, like, uh, when we were at, um, Puddler's Hall. Skipping ahead. [laughs] Like, I'm like... And it was like, "Oh, yeah, yeah. That's good kind. They do a thing with the marrow as well." Excellent.
2:48
Yeah. Turns out, uh, Mr. John lives in the town that I lived in in California, and I think the first time he came to visit me there when we were teenagers, still late teens, but teenagers. Los Ga- Nonetheless...
3:01
Los Gatos, California. Oh, you. The, the cats, they say. They... Oh, you. Oh, you are swarmy cats. It was. I love that- You are swarmy cats, aren't you? I love that, I love that town. It's a very good town.
3:14
Anyway, thanks, John, for listening to the show, and, uh, please keep up with your Milwaukee friends because yeah, that's what we do here. All right. What in the heck? There's so much... Okay.
3:26
So the weekend before last, tons of stuff to do. Uh, so much that you could hardly pack enough into a day and not- No, you just had to do a little bit each... Yeah. Right. Yeah. You had to pace it from the south up.
3:40
Yeah. Last weekend, this, this past one, though, I don't feel like it was as, as full as the weekend before. Robust? It wasn't as robust. At least not in my, my movings. But, uh- Yeah. Sunday was heavy. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
3:56
Went down... Yeah, uh, the Pride Parade- Oh, right on... on Second Street. Yep, yep. And it starts at, uh, Somatic, essentially. Well, that's- So-... convenient... yeah. But yeah.
4:08
That's definitely- Normally, normally that's like- Convenient... the next stop. Oh, yeah. So when- No, I see what you're saying... when the full stop is the, the- The lily padding and the whatnot?
4:17
It's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa." Yeah. I know. Uh, no, it worked out nicely, and it was a good time. Uh, went to Why Not Too? and then Breman and then home. Excellent. And it worked out nicely, and it was very proud.
4:30
Everyone was nice. I guess, uh, was it after last week's show that we had the midweek concert at Uptowner with Robotes? Yes. That was a good, that was a good- Yes... uh, diversion- And that-...
4:40
'cause that's not a normal thing... and that is why we're- [bell ringing] Oh, we're already here... at the top of the hill. We're already at the top of the hill, folks.
4:47
This is, uh- Because we were trying to make a mosh pit there. Yeah. And, and to be fair, uh, the last time Robotes played at a place where we could mosh pit, it was a good mosh pitting.
4:57
This is, uh, Surly Brewing Company's Mosh Pit Juicy Pale Ale. 5.5% ABV. Yeah. They, they had a- Apparently, yeah, they had a 7%-er for a while. Oh, yeah.
5:09
But they had something on their website that was very long and involved. Hm. I think I will read it because it, it read well. They do. They do very good creative writing.
5:17
Uh, [laughs] so it's like, okay, brewery, br- brewies? Br- Brewies? Bu- buies? Breweries and- Buies... breweries and bands don't start on the big stage. They all tend to start in someone's garage.
5:26
They try, fail, adjust, try again, fail again, tweak something here, and mess around with something over there, and through some cocktail of talent, persistence, and divine inspiration, they create something remarkable.
5:39
This is that in liquid form. [laughs] Oh, that's it? Uh- No, no, no, no... yeah. Well, it, I- Oh, no, no, no, no. No, it, well, okay. So- Oh... it is approach- Oh, no. It's, it's well-written. Yeah. Well, I liked it.
5:52
It's approachable, full-flavored, and begging for another sip. Carried... I can't really see through my glasses this angle. [laughs] Carried by welcoming notes of pineapple, orange, and lemon grass. But- Ah...
6:05
so what I'm, so what I'm thinking here is- I'm gonna ask our, our good buddy Anamorphic Brewing, Mr. Ron, about their hops. So they got one, two, three, four, five: Warrior, Sabor- Sabro, Talus, Centennial, and Citra.
6:22
No Mosaic and no Chaotic. Well, they have the English ale yeast. And then- Whatever, man... and then their malts. I seriously have no fucking idea... Okay. But I'm just saying, look at how much this shit's in here.
6:32
Touro, Munich, Carafoam, Aromatic, Crystal, and acidulated malt. So there's a lot of shit in there. Yeah, they gotta watch with the names. Acid. Maybe you should, maybe you should just have a couple. What's going on?
6:43
Is it good? Is it good? Is it good? Did you taste it? As- as- acid equated LSD. No, no, no. I'm gonna taste it now. Yes, finally. It just, it just seemed like there was a lot going into it
6:55
w- what with the- No LSD, though... as far as you know. [laughs] Well, it's much, um, easier drinking than the fluffy I've [laughs] got in this cup. Yeah. Dude, uh, Surly's all right.
7:13
Yeah. Well, okay. And they only had one of those left, and I had to grab it. Nice. We didn't look at the bottom of the thing to see if it's 12 years old or not, but- Mm...
7:21
is it, is it aged in the, aged in the cardboard carton? Mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. All right. So I will say this now, and I'm gonna say it now, and I'm gonna say it- I'll say it again... and I'm gonna say it strongly.
7:30
I much prefer Surly Brewing over Surly Bikes these days. Very good. Oh, n- you cut my transition. Yeah. My... Oh, all right. Okay. Oh, well. Well, those guys- Well played...
7:41
okay, those guys, I, they're not selling bikes consumer direct from their website on the interwebs yet, but they are selling all their PNA, their sh- their, their apparel. Brand.
7:51
They're, they're, they're whoring themselves out on the damn interwebs, and I don't like it. S- fixation- Yeah... kinda vibe. Well, no, I mean, I guess you- Yeah, well, you know-... you still have to-...
8:04
oh, hey, hey, buy our- Yeah... buy our little, uh, leather things. Oh, yeah. Those were nice though. I don't think- Yeah, yeah... do they make them anymore? Yeah, but buy those.
8:12
Don't buy our bikes, but buy those, and that'll, whatever. That is not a bad idea. No, no. 'Cause they did make all their own, like the f- the, the Frisbee disc golf- Yeah... Frisbee holder and the six-pack holder.
8:24
They made their- So it's not the same thing, but it's- No... I'm talking about-...
8:26
'cause these guys have their shit made in China or Taiwan or wherever the fuck overseas, where now it's gonna tariff the shit out of you, and, uh, I suppose that's why they can't afford a dealer margin on this stuff anymore.
8:35
Is my Surly gonna break up? Probably not. Like, like, like, explode? I mean, the bikes are great. [laughs] Everybody knows a Surly's a decent bike. Yeah. But I just think that, uh, this is a way for them to
8:46
bypass the increase in tariff dollars and, you know, take away all the fun stuff that bike shops used to have that gave them some kind of credibility. The- That's my booyakasha right there... booyakasha.
9:00
You can just go ahead and take that to the bank. [laughs] Well, they'll take that to the bank. I can't take it to the bank anymore. Yeah. Like, I dunno, I, I still have a Surly flask.
9:08
If anyone has a Surly flask out in the other room, I don't know- Yeah... what's up with that thing. I want it, actually. Do you? Hey, all right. Why not? Hey, all right.
9:14
That'll cost, uh- Hey, uh, this weekend it is sp-... that'll cost you a couple of beers. [laughs] Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, I'm gonna cook at least one pound of bacon- Oh... for this weekend.
9:23
How much, how much is reserved for Jason? Uh, a couple, uh, handfuls. A, a couple good grabs. Yeah. He's just a grab guy, so yeah. This is, uh, this is Fat Tire Tour of Milwaukee. Yeah. I mean, I don't...
9:37
I haven't, uh, paid for it since, uh, mm, a decade and a half a- or so. But- But always participated and always- Always... and always has the bacon for the Jason. Yes. And as far as I know- And for others...
9:55
I think, I think- As long as it's there... let us do a little forecast lookery because I believe- Oh... I believe- Uh, AM showers. Yeah. AM showers. Uh, but whatever. That'll just- Well-... scare enough people away...
10:06
that, that being said, that they end at, in the early AM, like 6:00 in the AM hopefully, although- That's what I'm saying... f- f- four [laughs] days out, w- who really... Does anybody really know what time it is?
10:17
Yes, I do. Does anybody really care? Does anyone know? Does anyone really care? So if, if you were gonna do that, you would go to the best place up there on Juneau. Yes. And try to- At the old Peps-...
10:28
arrive between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM- Yeah... is the best course of action. I would say show up there about 9:00. If you haven't pre-registered, get your shit together and get in the thing.
10:40
Between- And the, uh, the rollout usually is 10:00-ish, a little, maybe a- 10:15... maybe a skosh after. 10:15 was what it's actually, they're saying. Okay. I'm just look- It's gonna be fine... I, I'm just reading off...
10:53
Hey, dude- Uh, it's gonna be-... that's the Jason... it's gonna be fine. If it's a, if it's a halfway decent day, there's gonna be 500 people-ish, and it will be a beautiful thing. Or, yeah. [laughs] All right.
11:10
You know what's not a b- Caddyshack, right? You know what the- Yeah... you know what's not a beautiful thing?
11:15
How many hoops you have to jump through if you wanna watch professional bicycle racing, if you're into the road racing. Oh, I thought it was all about d- damn Peacock, dude. No, no, no. Peacock- No, you...
11:25
Peacock, Peacock is doing the, a couple of things, but then you had to go over to, uh- You got me on Peacock and what?... the the other guys. Peacock P- yes, the criterium Dado Fi- Now I have to go to-...
11:35
which is super fun. [groans] Super fun to watch, and the tour will be on Peacock too, so that's good. [sighs] But it's just any sporting event. Do you wanna watch the Brewers? Yeah. Well, you can't. Why?
11:46
Oh, 'cause they're on, uh, some cockamamie channel you never heard of for one game. Well, no, I've, I've been at peace with that for a decade and a half. Yeah. But... I guess I just listen to it on the rad-jo anyway.
11:57
Yes. And it's hard to not listen to it. Rest in peace, Bob Uecker, 'cause man, it's just not the same. Yeah. 'Cause you always know, like, the last couple innings, like, "And here he comes.
12:09
I don't even know what his name is." Well, he was dancing to the side of the plate. Wow, it came close to his face. I don't even know. Okay, what are you talking about again there, Dear Chuck?
12:20
[laughs] All right, Mark Laramie, uh- [laughs]... sing it in my ear, brother. What's happening? You got your Brewers, you got your f- you g- got your stick- One hit. Y- One goddamn hit.
12:31
You got your stick ball, and then they didn't stick it to the ball much today apparently. They lost, but, uh, th- th- speaking of- But today and tomorrow- Can we talk, can we-... they win...
12:40
can we talk about losers for a second? And to bring- No. Why not? To bring Pittsburgh back into the conversation from last week.
12:47
[laughs] 'Cause, you know, we talked about Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh and, uh, you know, that place quite a bit last week, and that's good. So now we have to have Pittsburgh news every week.
12:55
They got our old, uh, Sharon Rogers person. Yes. Yes. Yes. For a paltry $13 million. I think that's a bargain. That's like 40 million less he would've got if he stayed here. Mm, whatever. Or something. Whatever.
13:10
So- It's a lot of moolah, but still. Dude. Dude. A game, game and a half. Also, I don't know if you noticed his finger, but he got married. Oh, my God.
13:18
To some- to somebody that's not on social media, which probably makes a lot of sense. [laughs] Is he a lefty on the throwy? I don't know. I don't know, sir. No. I don't know if that's gonna be a problem.
13:31
He's gonna play some throw ball. He might throw it with either hand. He can throw with a heavy hand and- Oh, gosh... oh, bugger. That's as much as I got on Pittsburgh this week, but- Telling ya... it is something.
13:42
[laughs] Something else. And- That's, uh, the thing about y'all- All right, I'm just saying... or I can just look at it, I don't know. Hey.
13:48
[laughs] You people are gonna have the same fun we had, and also the, your friends up there in the New York zone. Ah. Uh, yeah. Welcome to the drama. Yeah.
13:58
I think maybe all the ayahuasca, waska, boska, shoshka, whatever that thing is that you do that's- It's the three rivers. The three river... It's the convergence. So yeah, you're, you're not gonna be all that unawares.
14:12
[laughs] I have, I have great faith in you, Pittsburgh. [laughs] F- f- faith in the, in the Pittsburgh peoples. Pittsburgers. To me- We are Pittsburghers- I-... and Pennsylvanians...
14:23
I was a huge fan of the Steelers back in the olden times. I had, I... Yeah, my neighbors were Pittsburghers. Yeah. And I could- And I was a pretty big fan...
14:30
like, as, as a child I couldn't wrap my head around like, what? I mean, you know, I- Pittsburgher? That doesn't make... Eh, burger. I don't know if Pittsburgh... I mean, Milwaukee obviously has its roots in i- industrial
14:45
making of thingies, and now we've kind of gotten past that. I don't know if Pittsburgh's gotten past that. Maybe they have.
14:52
Uh- Where they're not so s- steel mill oriented and, uh, we- [laughs] No, that's why I fucking- Because- Oh, shit. Yeah, I'm not going into all that shit. No, no, don't. Please. [laughs] No, no, no, no.
15:03
Because the dumbasses, the dumbing, uh, no. Oh, no. All right. So did you see Rock, Paper, Scissors on the thing and wondered what the fuck that was? Yeah. You know what Rock, Paper, Scissors is, obviously, right? Okay.
15:19
Well, here's the deal. There's apparently a Rock, Paper, Scissors Club. That sounds kind of like Pink Pony Club, but it's Rock, Paper, Scissor Club. Rock, Paper, Scissor Club, ooh, ooh, ooh.
15:33
Anyway, so they had a meeting at Amorphic, and guess who's running Rock, Paper, Scissor Club Milwaukee? Evan from- Rock-... say it with me, November Criminals. It, and I'm like, "What is this?
15:48
Is this a thing where musicians get together and do this, and they, and they s- then they trade things?" And he's like, "No, it's actually rock, paper, scissors. It's a full-on- I, I, I identify as a rock. Yeah.
15:58
I think I'm a paper. [laughs] Rock. I will cover you with my thing. I will not dull my scissors on your rock. Anyway- Look at me scissoring. [laughs] Who- What the fuck?
16:14
Who had, who- [laughs] Who had any idea there was a Rock, Paper, Scissor Club? Cosplay. I think it's- Yeah... I think it's not bad. Yeah. No, no, no. It's, it is a place of, uh...
16:26
What's with all- What's with all of the- What's with all the-... the, the, the, the, the, the, the dumpster fire was, uh- I think I may-... pushing the other one... I think I may change the order- Oh, and by the way-...
16:36
next week... uh, next week, next week will be show number 310, and you know what the, uh, area code of 310 is? Oh, my. Los Angeles? Oh, lords. Is that a hope? So hopefully- Is LA having so many troubles today?
16:51
So hopefully this should be goddamned Hopefully. Like, come on. It's either gonna be a burning cesspool of death, or it will be, uh, taken care of. I don't know. Or we'll just see you on the, uh, Living Dead,
17:07
Walking Dead- Tour... kind of thing. [laughs] Yes, Mr. Remus. Remus, Remus, what's his name? So I don't know. I, so- [laughs] Which one? I- Well, the guy from the, the War- Walking Dead, the, what's his name?
17:21
Which Walking Dead? That was the problem. Oh, God. Well- I mean, I named my damn dog or cat- So his-... Laurel...
17:28
his name is similar enough to the keyboard player from Dream Theater wh- whom I really like, uh, because I want to emulate his, his nice- And you say the-... his, like, facial hair on his face. It's like- You say the-...
17:40
nice... and I thought about the Dream Academy after that. [laughs] And I was listening to Dream Academy all day, 'cause it's the anniversary of the Ferris Bueller movie. Oh. Mm-hmm. Is it, then? It is.
17:53
It's something to watch every couple of six months or so. Yes. And then, like, four days prior was the day he took off work. Nice. I gotta say this, I'm not happy about it. Derek got laid off at his job at the school.
18:11
At what school? At the UWM's where he works. No shit. At the library. We're all vulnerable Apparently, apparently he is- We're all vulnerable...
18:23
he is a, he's a, uh, victim of the DOGE cuts that have said that you can't have that money anymore, so guess how many student workers they'll have at the old Golda Meir Library, one of the great university libraries in the world?
18:38
Zero, apparently. No student workers. I, all, all I can say is- What in the fuck, dude? To you and to Garrett, uh, please hold all the receipts. Please. Please. Please. Oh. Really, please hol- hold all the receipts.
18:55
All right, then. Print out as many receipts as you can on this one. Right on. I shit you not. I'm not sure what that means. What does this mean with the receipt holding? You're fired. Oh, copy that. Okay.
19:08
[laughs] I see what you're saying. Just like somebody going, "No. You're not coming back here." I wonder if he can get under- No... underemployment from his eight-hour-a-week job. How, like how fired are you?
19:22
'Cause there was somebody that was fired that just somebody just sat there and pointed and said, "No, no, no, you're not back here." I think- But there was like nothing on paper. Right.
19:33
So- [laughs] And I'm like- I mean, you- I'm like if you d- Yes... just came back, it would be fine But, uh- And, hmm... but, uh, this is, but this is my stapler. I'm going to take it with me. Hmm.
19:43
I believe that I, so I don't, I'm not, I've not gotten the paycheck at this time. [laughs] You just keep going to work. Do it. You just keep going to work. You just back pay.
19:51
I'll do, I'll do eight hours a week till I get my back pay. Mike Judge. [laughs] Mike Judge, Mike Judge. [laughs] Office Space and Idiocracy, thank you kindly, and we're living both of them right now. It's unbelievable.
20:07
I can't, I, it, it's- I, I know... it's, it's hard to fathom... I hate, I, I, mm, I'm not enjoying it. Why am I basking in this, like, light? Does, is it making you sweaty? Yes. Actually, it's very nice in the studio.
20:24
It's still in the s- Ah... it's still 71 in the studio. It's, uh- Ah... it's currently 81 outside, but it was, uh, quite toasty earlier. Just saying that one is really on me. Yeah, it is. It makes you look, uh, handsome.
20:37
It's what it does. [snores] Listen- So there's a, you know those League of American Bicyclists folks? Yeah. They- I, I wanna like them... they do the rating of the cities and say, "Oh, your city's so great for cycling."
20:51
Platinum, Madison. Mm-hmm. Silver, Appleton, Fitchburg, La Crosse, Milwaukee, Shorewood, and Stevens Point. People are recognizing that Milwaukee- Yeah... is not as crappy as some other cities for riding bikes. Yeah.
21:06
Bronze, Dane County, which is where Madison is, so the greater Dane County. [laughs] Eau Claire, Green Bay, Janesville, Kenosha County, Menasha, Menomonie, Middleton, Monona, Onalaska, River Falls- Dun, dun...
21:17
Sheboygan, Sheboygan County. Sturgeon Bay, by cracky- [burps]... is a bronze League of American Cyclist city. Sun Prairie, V- Verona, and Wausau. What? Wausau. Oh. W-A- W-A-U... U-S-A-U. Wausau. Wausau.
21:37
I, that's, that's a lot of cities.
21:38
I, I guess maybe they, I don't know, we should look at some other states and see if they have more cities, but it seems like a pretty good, pretty good haul for Wisconsin on the old, uh, rating s- cities as cycling
21:52
centers. Centrist. That's a scintillating sound. Sound. Don't pop your Ps. Ah. I never pop a P. No, that happened at the p- p- p- Kerry, okay. P- P-
22:10
Kerry. Can we go to Australia for a moment? Oh. I was gonna go to the Outback, mate. Oh. Thanks to my friend over there in Australia, we're gonna have three sets of the PelMel
22:22
straps for the Omnium Cargo showing up here in Milwaukee shortly.
22:26
I ordered one set for my own damn self, and I ordered two more because it takes a long time for him to make them, and if you want them, I will have them on the Omnium Cargo- If you want them, I will have them...
22:37
cyclist website. Yes, you could probably get them cheaper by waiting for a time and going through the rigamarole. And just- But if you just wanna look at the site and see them...
22:47
I will be the guy that just sits there and looks at the cargo going, "Nope, still there. Still just sitting in, uh, Chicago in a box." Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Are you waiting for cargo? Yeah. Hmm.
23:03
So [laughs] and it's fun just to, like, like drive or whatever and going like, uh, it, it's such a hub. Hub. And just watching and it's going like, "Oh, yep, nobody's doing nothing, and I know all my shit's right here."
23:19
What's all the hubbub-bub? Yeah. Yeah, well, sometimes stuff shows up in Chicago, and then the next time you see it, it's in, in, in Pittsburgh, and you're like, "Why did, wait, wait a minute. Is that on the way here?"
23:31
Yeah. Well, no, then I go, like, further south and I hit- Yeah... then I hit the, uh, the UPS hub. Oh, yeah. Oh-ho-ho. Yeah. That's a fun one. Right on. And then it's like, oh. Hey, well- Yeah...
23:41
while I, while I, while I just do a little burp, I'm gonna grab something here I can talk about. Look at him go. Oh, I want to give you this version of this.
23:56
This thing is a, this is one of the frames we had made by Zen Bicycle Fabrication when they were still around. It is an AR45. It's an excellent frame.
24:06
We couldn't sell them because I couldn't get axles for them because, I don't know. I think I figured it out now, though, so we got about a dozen of these. It's gonna be great. Got a Kyron fork. You got this thing.
24:16
It's gonna be good. You should check it out. I'll let you know when it's actually available, but look at the beauty of this thing. Look at it. It's so light, I can hold it with one hand. It's steel. It's massive.
24:27
Look at the clearance. It's steel Who do you know wants a growler? [laughs] Hearkening back to Ernie Von Scha- Schladon Yeah, that was my entire, like- Who do you know wants to buy a car? My entire- [laughs]...
24:43
last weekend was all Ernie r- reminiscing. Are you buying a car? [scoffs] No, no. My grandma lived, uh, bing-da-ding- Adjacent to the- Yeah... Von Schaester? Ernst Von Schaester.
25:00
You come, you buy the car. That's what you do. And then when he doesn't, okay, then he go, "Oh, EVS. Oh, no, do, do Eric Von Schladon. No, you have the other, the other little Hitler." I remember Ernie- [laughs]...
25:13
you know, he, you can't sell cars on Sunday in Wisconsin. [laughs] But he would sit, he would sit up in his office overlooking the massive lot that they had out there in Menomonee Falls,
25:24
and he would write down every license plate that showed up so he could- Yeah... you know, find out- Get 'em... on Monday w- w- Where they went... "Why you guys out? What are you doing? What are you doing?
25:34
You want to buy a car? Wait, the eeee-" Oh, he was a c- he was- Yeah. He was a consummate salesman is what he was. Oh. Uh, yeah.
25:42
So my grandma lived where the Hart gas station was, right across the street from Main Street in Menomonee Falls. Yeah. [clears throat] Nice. Right down the road, boom, boom, boom.
25:57
That's where you get your broasted chicken. I like getting broasted chicken at gas stations, and it's really good sometimes.
26:05
[sighs] Right at the off ramp from, uh, Capital Drive to Green Bay when you're coming, when you're coming south and you get off and the- Yeah...
26:13
there's a gas station right there, and you, and you get- Crispy, uh, yeah, yeah... and you, if you get enough gas- It's Crispy di-di-di...
26:18
right, but if you get enough gas, like 10 bucks maybe now or more, you get a free chicken leg. You get your gas and you get some free chicken. Who, that, that's, like, brilliant. Crispy whatever, fucking chicken.
26:32
It was, yes, whatever that is, they have a good one. Hey, hey, hey. That's the closest I can, like- Yeah... get to that one. Well, I have a thing here, too. It's a new thing on our, on our weekly show notes.
26:49
It's new on the Full Spectrum Cycling YouTube channel. Yes. It's amazing how much stuff we put up on there that nobody watches, so just saying, if you wanna, [laughs] if you- Watch it...
26:58
if you wanna watch some stuff- Watch it... go there. There's good stuff on there. And be happy. Yes. Here's some stuff- It's clever, for fuck's sake. Here's some stuff- Do it...
27:04
we'll have coming up soon and/or even may already be on there. 1UP Wave Pedals, nice. Uh, Sealy Dave's Packrafting, nice.
27:15
I'm gonna start a new series before I part out this bike and go over the build, before I take all the stuff off and sell it individually, because you can't sell a bike anymore that's complete for any kind of money that it's worth.
27:27
So I'm gonna sell all the shit off separate-like. Keep up with that, 'cause there's a lot of good stuff, including mid-'90s vintage mountain bikes with some really cool components, man. Yeah. Look at it. Yeah. Sell it.
27:39
Check it out. It's gonna be, it's gonna be fun. And then I'll probably do a tear-down and then probably put some links, and you can go find that shit on, uh, eBay, because that's where it's going.
27:51
Even though they soak 12%. Yes. Just buy it from me. Yeah, you could do that. That takes a lot of effort. Sh. Throw some money this way. That's what I'm saying. Right here. You know where we are. Yeah.
28:03
It's not really that hard. Come on. All right then. I don't know. You got anything else? I think, uh, we about exhausted all the stuff I wanted to h- Far out...
28:12
highlight except for more of this, uh, mmm, Surly Mosh Pit beer. Mosh Pit, which is thankfully at 5.5, not the 7- Oh. Is that one colder? I'll take that one. This one seems... I, I've sat around for a little bit.
28:29
[laughs] All right, everybody. Uh, that was show 309 you just heard, and by cracky- Volume 309. Okay, Red Sovine- Hey...
28:38
we're gonna go back in time Let me tell you what, if you're not dumber for having listened to this show, I don't know, I don't know. How dumb he is. Yeah. You, you might be pretty dumb already.
28:48
