All right. [rock music] Parabox is ride!
0:19
Hey, everybody. Full Spectrum Cycling, show number 314. Pi. You know what I was just wondering? Pi. Infinite. Wonder- This is the, this is the show that's gonna go on and on- 3.14-...
0:31
and on, and on, and on, and on- 15926... and on, and on. That's as far as I get. I can only do that far. [laughs] Yeah. Um, do you think Ozzy ever covered this song? [singing] fucking eat my chicken.
0:49
[laughs] Little bastard. Oh, man, has there been a, has there been a glut of, of Black Sabbath and Ozzy songs on lately. Mm-hmm. I'm happy because- Well-...
1:01
places where I've heard Ozzy this week usually play country music, and- Oh, for God sakes, yes. You know? And it's not even good country. Celebrate that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's new country. Uh-huh.
1:09
It's not old, it's not old good country. It's new country. S- yeah. It ain't country. No. Suck the- It's pop country... suck the marrow of- [laughs]... that opportunity.
1:16
And maybe, yeah, maybe you can course correct in that place. Like... Yeah. Hey, guess how many people were really happy listening to the Ozzy when you were playing it the other day? Yeah. Just look at your crowd.
1:25
Remember this as a bartender, especially a young bartender, it's not about you, it's about us. Read the room. It's about the customer. Read the room. Yep. Exactly. Right on. So holy frijole, was it warm out today. Yeah.
1:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'm, I- I'm just coming back to temperature.
1:45
[laughs] Well, I spent most of the day in the studio here because I went into the shop room where it's hot and did like 10 minutes of work and came back in here and went, "Oh yeah, now I have to use a heat gun in here to take stuff off the wall."
1:59
I'm like, "I'm not really winning with heat today." No, no, no, no, no, no. [laughs] Can this be put off for a day? Well- Perhaps... in truth- Or two... no, really, because- Okay... like I- Well, just saying...
2:09
I, I think I mentioned at, at before the show- I mean, this is like me reasoning with my mother. No, I like the idea. I'm like, "Ma, hey, you know the drill.
2:16
I had to do this, 'cause last time it was a ni- like this kind of stuff, she ended up in the hospital- Oh... dehydrated- Oh... big time. It's like, "Come on, we know the drill now. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate."
2:27
And she's good this way. Yep. I mean, stubborn, but good. Yep. 'Cause you don't wanna do that again. I would, I would totally wait until or later in the week. We got the 24 coming up. Mm-hmm.
2:38
I could blow it off till next week very easily, except that Friday we have our first paying client for a podcast, so I need to kind of- Dun, dun, dun... and- Yes...
2:48
to be fair, it's one guy, and this is how the studio could be used, who is doing... He's a guest on another podcast, and he needs a place that looks good.
2:59
So he's gonna bring his, uh, backdrop from their trade show stuff and show some products, and we just have to light him and make him look good and give him mics and stuff and- Sure...
3:08
so it'll be pretty cool to kinda get it rolling with something that's not a full-on production, and they'll do it every couple of weeks, which I think is a- Good on... kind of a recurring good thing.
3:18
But, uh, hey, if you're into the podcast stuff and you're in the Milwaukee area, we are looking for a couple more people to kind of- Come in... help us, help us just ramp this up a little bit.
3:29
M- y- you di- didn't do a d- podcast before, we can teach you. You've done a podcast before, we got the stuff. Three more studios on the other side of that black curtain coming up soon.
3:37
That's why I can't not work in the [laughs] heat. Mm-hmm. Long way around to not work in the heat is what I'm saying. Ta-da-ta-da. All right. Uh, yeah, so I don't know. Uh, what's going on?
3:52
Hey, there's a bunch of stuff going on in Milwaukee. Should we start with that junk? Sure. Riverwest 24 coming up. That would be starting tomorrow at 7:00 PM going through Saturday- 7:00... at 7:00 PM.
4:05
Also got your Wausau 24 up there. I believe that starts at- Wausau... noon on... W-A-U-S-A-U. Wausau. Wausau. Wausau. Yep. Uh, that starts up there I believe at noon on Saturday and goes to noon on Sunday.
4:16
So theoretically- Yeah... you could do the 24 here- That's Sunday...
4:20
and then you could get in a limo, somebody else drives, and you get up there and you start at, you know, y- you get halfway through it by the time you're up there and finish off- The Win- the Wisconsin 36-...
4:29
start at midnight. Yeah. Yeah... or something like that. Yeah, yeah. I've thought about this in the past. Yes. I, I do not have the ambition for it in the least. It would- I, I remember when i- it was posited.
4:39
Well- And I'm just like, "Yeah, I don't think I have the energy- You know, it definitely-... to do that."
4:43
See, I was thinking it would require like a party bus so you could sleep on it, but if you're gonna be on a party bus, you're not sleeping anyway. Right. Right, right, right. So I don't know.
4:49
I just, I'm not sure how my body could make that work. [laughs] Although I am somewhat happy that I'm not actually in the race this year. Well, this- Or the event, I should say. Yeah.
5:01
This is the, uh, first year for, I don't know, a while that I am not- Yeah, I was-... registered... I, I was the last few years, but I didn't really take it super seriously, so. I never really took it serious.
5:12
I mean, granted, I mean, one of the years my ankle went kablooey and I only did two laps, and that was just grudging- [coughs]... 'cause I couldn't put it in any... [laughs] Whoa, hello. Oh, the Bloom.
5:25
Okay, top of the hill. That went, that went down the wrong pipe. [laughs] Speaking of the wrong pipe. Oh, geez. That was not where that was supposed to go. Well, that was a perfect timing. [laughs] So- Segues.
5:35
Segues- Top of the hill is-... I tell you... I could have spewed all over the, uh, the, the Ace, the, the Insta360 Ace- I know... Pro 2 there. I was ready to shove this in, in- Yeah... front of you... yeah, blocking.
5:45
Mm-hmm. So, uh, today's beer is brought to me by me, and also JK. Well, yeah. But- My, my folding technique. That, yeah, it's keeping the f- cans from rolling onto the floor. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
5:55
This is Founder's Mortal Bloom Hazy IPA. Apparently you're familiar with it. Uh, we had it once here, and then, uh, I ended up going back to the same, uh, liquor store-...
6:09
for a different event, and I was like, "Oh, well, they got... That was good. I'm gonna grab another six-pack of it." And so, like, it seems like every Monday I end up, "Oh, if you got it- It's-... it'll work out...
6:18
tasty. Yeah. It's from, uh, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I discovered it, I guess, would be the word, if I've had it before here, then I forgot about it- Mm... and re- rediscovered it over there
6:27
on our trip across the big pond. Yeah. They, uh, tend to have... Well, I mean, yes. And- So yeah, we were at a place called The Antler in Pentwater,
6:37
and it was pretty full on the bottom, and we were waiting for a table, so we went upstairs, and they had Mortal Bloom on tap. Yes, yes. I will take that, thank you very much.
6:52
So you get your thing buzzing on you, and you go downstairs, and you're like, "Yes, I would have another Mortal Bloom." And she says, "They only have that upstairs." I go, [laughs] "Well, the stairs are right there."
7:01
Get to stepping, my love. She goes, "Well, I, I, I have too many people down here. I can't do it." So I said, "Can I... Would you be mad if I went up there and got it, and then brought it back down here?"
7:12
She's like, "Not really." Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Cryptic. They did have some other good beers, so I, I don't remember what I had that wasn't a Mortal Bloom, but I would've had more because it was good. Yeah, it is.
7:24
Uh, you have to watch out. They have a, an Imperial. Yes. I did almost get tricked into that because that was a six-pack, whereas this is a 12-pack. And it's blue on this. Yes. I almost got tricked into that. There.
7:40
Yeah. Uh- Almost-... because I was like, "Well, we don't-... tore my own head off... we don't, we don't really need a 12-pack for the show. We only need six." And I was like- Ooh... "I'll just grab that one."
7:48
And then I'm like, "Oh, no, that... I see now that-" So that's w- Okay. So last week when I went down for Diggable Planets, which was awesome, [laughs] it was so chill. It was so chill. They had a Imperial,
8:02
uh, like a 19-ounce can, and in... I thought it was of Mortal Bloom, which it is Mortal Bloom, or no, Imperial Mortal Bloom- Right... or Imperial Bloom- Yeah... or something like that. Right, right. Yep.
8:16
Immortal perhaps. I- Well- It was something like that... something along those lines. And well, there was a... Like, nobody knew what, uh, the, the price was at sunrise,
8:24
and at that point is when I noticed, oh, ooh, no, no, no, I don't need the nine percenter. No. No, no. I wanted the relaxing, groovy six and what? 6.2? Yeah. 6.2. Something good. And it's good. It drinks well.
8:37
It does drink very well. And w- Support your regional breweries like this. Breweries. What it reminded me of, oddly enough, is our friends next door at Amorphic, because it's really... It, it...
8:48
To me it tastes like an Amorphic beer, but just slightly watered down maybe. Yeah. It's not like... Even if it's the same ABV, it doesn't, like, really kick you with flavor hard. It's good, but it's... Yeah, I like it.
9:01
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I will probably have another- I can, I'll wrap my head around that... as long as I can get this down here. Uh, so Riverwest 24 coming up, blah, blah, blah. Here's something to know about that.
9:11
We've had him on the show before, folks, Mike McAbee. Uh-huh.
9:14
I think he's been one of our mo- our recent shows that's gotten the most listened/views, probably because he has his own fan base, and, you know, everybody loves Mike. Sure, sure.
9:25
But he's doing a show, a big show- Really big two shows... two shows. He's doing one at Vega's at 8:00 PM- Mm-hmm... on Friday night. Mm-hmm.
9:34
An hour after the start of the big ride, and then he's doing one at 11:00 in the morning- Mm-hmm... 'cause he has another show at night on the Mississippi River- Mm-hmm... uh, at 11:00 AM at Uptowner. Yes, yes.
9:46
He is a working hard guy, and, uh, very entertaining. I think he knows at least 500 songs, and he gives you- Oh, yeah. Yeah. I, I remember that- And he gives you a list, and you're like- Yeah.
9:55
And the first time I was like, I'm like, "Okay, it's not on the list." And he will... Uh, you can go off-menu. Oh, yeah. He may, he may know that too. Yeah. Well, yeah, I'll...
10:04
Because it was shortly after my return from Nashville. I remember the story. Of my- I do not remember the song though. Muleskinner Blues. Oh, there you go. That was it.
10:13
And it was like, Goddammit, how can nobody in f- f- Nashville know, not know goddamn Muleskinner goddamn Blues? [laughs] It does seem- Really pissed me off.
10:23
Well, that just shows you who's actually going to Nashville anymore to be part of the music industry. Mm. It's not your, not your typical people you might think of going there, so. No, I just...
10:32
It, it was funny 'cause, like, some of those cats, I did ha- I, a- and I mean, I have an aged-looking face, so when I can, like, when I, when I, when I kinda like give these people the disappointment face like, "Really?
10:45
Yeah. I, I mean, I'm just disappointed that you don't- Yeah... know that." This is your- I mean, you know... this is like what your dad would look like. This one. Yeah, exactly. [laughs] Um, yeah.
10:54
So, uh, uh, Mike is, Mike is a cyclist, which is really cool. I think he sent me a picture of his bike. I don't know where it's from. It might be a RAGB photo or something.
11:02
Uh, 'cause your RAGBRAI's going on right now too, across Iowa over there, just a little bit, uh, south and west of, of Wisconsin. Uh, yeah. And, uh, so I think- [laughs] I don't know.
11:15
But I'm gonna put it as the cover photo because it's cool. Um, and so yeah, check it out. If you are at the 24, I would recommend going to both shows, but I would...
11:26
I'm really looking forward to the Saturday 11:00 AM show. Yeah. Um, and, um, also Towner's gonna have a couple punk bands o- Oh, yeah... overnight. Oh, yeah. For sure. Yeah, they did that in- Which I heard about,
11:39
uh, which was cool to hear about. Um, and Floor Model is in play- All right... in the Martin, Martin Estate. Oh, right on. Yep. Plus- That's always good... plus there are, uh, two other bands. Oh, shit.
11:57
Social Sig and... There will be many musics happening. No, I know. I, uh, but yeah, it... I'm probably tipping the hat, I think as part of a bonus, but whatever. No, yeah. Um- Oh, Jesus.
12:11
Nobody's gonna know 'cause this is happening a day before the show. Right. No, this- The big show... yeah, th- yeah, these are the cheat codes All right. Whatever So that's the RW24.
12:19
I don't know, maybe we'll have some more to say about that later. Uh, are you... D- do you do the MKE, BKE? Yeah. Did you see the new pump track? Yeah, I saw the formation of it, yeah.
12:29
With, uh, with, with old Marty Waggle, whom we just saw over to the, uh, Amorphic not that long ago. I was just kinda like, kinda look- The king of the sewer tour...
12:37
Well, it kinda looks like Marty, but I didn't remember he's as tall as he is. I thought he was, like, more of a, you know... He, he seems taller. Maybe he'd taken growth ho- My size... growth hormones or something.
12:46
[laughs] Um, but what I noticed about this pump track, 'cause they just opened one on the, on the far west side of West Allis-aca out there, uh, is that- Mm... it looks modular. It looks like the pieces are...
13:00
I don't know if they're concrete and they can move 'em, or they're some kind of injection molded plastic or something. I'm curious about it because it's obvious that they fit together.
13:09
It's not like poured concrete or whatever, whatever. Oh, no, the pieces fit. So we will have to go up there. The top. It's on the, on... This is on the northwest side of Milwaukee, somewhere Brown Deer area.
13:20
So- Mm-hmm... I don't think it's quite done yet. Tons of Milwaukee news today, you know? Well, Milwaukee is awesome. I just think people should know how great cycling here is. Yeah.
13:31
And just listen to all the stuff that's going on, although this is super great. The Menomonee River loop that goes behind the city yards and stuff right along the river. Yeah.
13:40
The one where Dave Lunz tried to wheelie past that- Yeah... steel pole. And I flatted, and I flatted, um- Yeah, back there, where it floods sometimes.
13:46
Yeah, where it flooded and then I flatted because I ran into something. [laughs] Um, they are gonna be redoing a bridge down there, so that loop will be closed approximately a year or better.
13:56
It's kinda like the project right down the street here where they're redoing these bridges that were built- So did you tell Lunz this?... in the '20s.
14:04
And he'll probab- and he'll probably forget about it, so he can just go wheelie in anyway, like yay. Yeah. And then he goes right into the canal. Yeah, that would be good.
14:11
[laughs] I don't, you know, I think it's more of a safety concern because they're doing the viaduct or- Right... bridge or whatever the hell that thing is. Uh, but yeah, a lot of these things are from the '20s.
14:20
I think the one they're doing right near us here is from the 1890s. It's like, well, it's still standing. Well, it wa- and then, yeah, I mean, like that whole thing, I mean, it was just one robust rain event. Oh, yeah.
14:33
And boop, splashy, splashy, and then when it's really heavy, that's when it got floody, floody. And then I went- [laughs]... flatty, flatty. Yeah. [laughs] So. Hey, here's something that's on the calendar.
14:44
It's so great, it's on there twice. Hmm, hmm. I'm gonna get rid of one of these. Um, Daikaiju, July 28th, X-Ray Arcade. I wanna go so bad. It's a Monday night. I do, I do, I do, I do. I don't know. I don't know why.
14:54
I, I don't know why I had it on there twice, but it, yeah, it's so nice. The band's so nice, you gotta see 'em twice. You gotta go see 'em twice. Uh, it's worth doing. They're also playing, uh, Madison on Wednesday.
15:03
Okay. High Dive Saloon. Well, I'm not gonna drive 90 miles when I can just go down to X-Ray, although- Well, it's close to- Probably takes as long to get to X-Ray on a bike as it does Madison in a car, though. Zing.
15:13
Mm, that's thinking, Lincoln. Right on. [laughs] Yeah. And they're playing with Rolaman in Madison. Huh. So. Yeah? And what, um- I would... So here's what I'm thinking. Well- Wait, who are they playing with, uh, here?
15:27
Is it Devil's Teeth? Don't know. That I do not know. I did not go so far as to pull up the, the link. If it, if it is- Oh, I can do that right now. I got the link right here.
15:36
Well, I'm gonna look right now- You, you look-... and I'm just gonna... I'm just, I'm, I'm occupying time in my mind...
15:39
you look while I mention the next thing on the list is August 9th, Port Washington, Wisconsin, beach ride, full moon style. They say- I'm saying we're gonna meet there at somewhere around s- eight o'clock, give or take.
15:52
What? Shannon Chap, what the... Why is he disappointing me? Shannon, why are you disappointing me? Why? Why?
15:59
Well, that's his, so his, uh, his thing, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but going to have to bail on you guys for Riverwest 24." What? Shannon. Shannon. Shannon. Make the full moon beach ride if nothing else, ya putz.
16:15
I see that. Uh, yeah, he was gonna come up and hang out for the weekend, and, uh, actually we're gonna do a sh- We, we are gonna do some semblance of a show during the 24th somehow.
16:25
I don't, I don't know what that looks like yet. I know. It, it's, it's strange to me- I-...
16:29
'cause I'm so untethered, and it's like, it's like- Well, I'm trying not to be the guy that is already at 9:00 at night on Saturday ready for bed and [laughs] you know.
16:37
Uh, 'cause yeah, uh, Kingston Burial at Vegas, which is good old dance hall reggae, awesome- Um... shit. Yeah, they are pretty good. With Selector Max. Is that after Mike Mackety? Uh, that's Saturday at 10:00.
16:50
Oh, that's Saturday. Yeah. Oh, that's after the event- Yeah... is already over. Mm-hmm. There's more shit in the world. That's why I'm gonna piss- Yeah... myself over the weekend. Yeah, yeah. 'Cause damn- Yeah...
16:58
uh, well, Devil's Teeth is playing a matinee show at X-Ray Arcade on Sunday. That's why Devil's Teeth- Oh... was in my- Yeah... in my pocket and in my brain. Got devils, heck, uh, ew, daboo.
17:11
And then later that night is MC Chris. I want candy. You know? My backpack's got jets. I'm Boba the Fat. [laughs] A bounty hunter Some people got some- My bed, wee, wee, wee... rhyming stuff. Yeah.
17:25
I, I, I do wanna point this out since it just showed up today, and thanks to the fine folks at Ibex for sending this.
17:31
Uh, this, though, being 92 degrees outside, I was a little reluctant to wear because it is a long sleeve version of their goat tee. It's very soft. It's Merino wool. Mm.
17:44
And to be fair, if you did wear it when it's really hot outside, although- It probably would be- It would-... beneficial. Okay. So a long though- Although people will look at you like, "What's wrong with you?" Right.
17:53
So Ibex wool- [laughs]... blah, blah, blah, super awesome. I've had several of their pieces of clothing and love them to death. I- literally, because after 10 years they... Whoa. See how I stopped that? Mm-hmm.
18:06
Uh, oh, we're getting, we're getting, uh... This is why you have to- It's like the-... tune into the YouTube channel so you can see the mayhem, uh, occurring. Ah, yeah. And there we go. Um, it's blocking Michael's mug.
18:19
No, it's not.
18:20
Um, so anyway, the deal with this is they also sent a short sleeve shirt a while back, and- When I did the Michigan trip and a lot of times when I'm outside all day long, I like to wear, I guess what they're known to me as a rash guard shirt.
18:35
Surfers use them. They're like super tight fitting, but they're fully long sleeves and like, they're like SPF 50. Mm. Mm-hmm. So I don't like slathering on the greasy, goopy- Sure. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah...
18:46
grimy, yucky feeling stuff. And a rash guard with an SPF 50 is not a bad idea, so I use that in the, uh, Lloyd Seawright fitting all... Like, I'm wearing a medium even though I'm an extra large kind of guy.
19:00
[laughs] Look at these nipples. Yeah, those are nice right there. [laughs] Um, and then over that, though- [coughs]...
19:06
uh, on a, on, on a day of the, uh, Michigan trip we did, I did use the short sleeve version of that shirt because while the rash guard is on your, like, skin tight almost and it will transfer moisture out, but you like something else to be flapping around and then getting- Yeah, you don't want the-...
19:24
getting rid of it... complete sausage casing- Right... kind of feeling. Yeah, yeah. So- I mean, 'cause that's a little, like, claustrophobic feeling. Also, it doesn't cool you as well to me as two layers of clothing do.
19:34
So to me, two layers with a tight one on the bottom and something, like even that kind of shirt,
19:41
as long as it's moving in the wind it will pick up some moisture here, put it out in the wind there, and away goes the moisture, and that's why we have 100% humidity today. No shit. So yeah. So anyway, I have a...
19:54
Thank you very much. So it's Die Casual, Primitives, Fight Dice, and Nasty Boys. The Cult of Nasty, you've seen them. Oh, wow, that's a long list, 'cause I would think Die Casual would be less. Oh, of course.
20:04
So it's- So it's an 8:00 PM show? Mm, 7:00 PM they say, which is probably seven doors 8 o'clock and then shove them all and- So midnight. It's still kind of... and they still go all curfew-ey. Oh. Yeah, I suppose.
20:18
Uh, well, we'll see. Well- I admit... You know what? Here's what I- Nasty, Nasty Boys you can... They, they're like, they can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as they want to. Sure. The Cult of Nasty. Cult of Nasty.
20:31
Um- Which is fun... well, that might be fun. They're fun. They're a terribly fun band. [laughs] I have to... They'll be there for Center Street Days, which will be coming up in August. Have we got our, uh, art cart idea?
20:42
I'm just putting it out there just because- Oh, for Center Street Days?... because it's only, uh, less than a month away. I used to have this cool, uh, plastic like... I think it was a To- I haven't, I-...
20:55
Toy Box or something. I have zero ambition- But it's really cool... to do it, but- I was just gonna put it on... I wanted to do it on skis instead of wheels and just, you know, push the skis down the street.
21:06
I just want to let it be said when I go there, when I hear everybody going like, "We should... You, why didn't you remind me of this?" And it'll be people that listen to this, uh- Yeah... show. Yeah, you'll have heard.
21:16
So now you'll have heard. Yeah. Heard me. So the onus is on you, good friend, good listener. Yeah. Uh, Michigan trip, I'm still on that thing. I'm not. I, I took...
21:28
Well, I'm not on it anymore, but I can relive it because we made some footage, and I'm still going through the footage. And when you get some footage, it takes a long time to make only the good parts show, so.
21:39
Understood. Understood. I'm trying to do... I think I'm trying to do... I was gonna try to just do the whole thing. I think I'm just gonna do it, 'cause it was like four days, so one day at a time. Remember that show?
21:50
Yeah, Schneider. Schneider. I'm Schneider, baby. Schneider. [laughs] How you doing? Um, so yeah, maybe one day at a time and, you know, approximately 20 minutes per day maybe, 'cause yeah.
22:01
There was some, you know, interesting stuff that happened, and beautiful views of the beach and beautiful views of the rest of stuff we did. And, uh, I'm working towards making these better.
22:13
My goal is to be doing like- Be better... long way around stuff like that, ooh, and then Charlie do on their motorbikes, only on bicycles and shorter. [laughs] Much shorter.
22:28
But I tell you what, you know, as much as like I'm kind of into the filming and into the thing like with this here, uh, Insta360, look at this thing. Zz.
22:36
It's, it's, uh, you know, it's, it's like an action cam, but you can put a thing on it and, uh, whatever.
22:41
Um, as much as I kind of like doing that, trying to get your, your riding mates to be part of your production is a little, it's a little less easy to do. Right. You have to... Yes.
22:52
Maybe plan ahead would be a better idea for next time. I, I, I've got a lot of shots I want, and I know how to make stuff interesting, but trying to get other people to buy into the idea has been- On its way...
23:05
a little- Atari 2600 watch- Oh, look at that... on its way. 80 bucks? You crazy. You crazy, man. I get to play four- [laughs]... legacy games on my watch. I, I know what's happening during the next show.
23:19
[laughs] Oh, if this damn thing shows up by the next show, I'll be- Well-... terribly surprised... what are the, uh, what are the games? Uh, Pong, Missile Command- Ooh, I love Missile Command... Centipede, I want to say.
23:34
Both trackball games. And Asteroids, I think. All trackball games. Yeah. I could- That's why you can just go wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa on your little face. Oh, okay. So- Things you can go wa, bonk, wa, bonk...
23:45
well, Pong wasn't a trackball game, though. But they'll make it that way. Somebody's calling me to sell me something. Well, I was- Um-... calling like, I was making the gesture and- Oh, yeah...
23:56
our overlords saw that happening. Yeah. So I- By the way, I've been starting to watch Paradise on Hulu, which gives me the weird willies about everybody in the world. Hmm. Including you. Uh, Missile Command for sure.
24:11
Asteroids I could play nonstop for like 28 hours if I really wanted to in the old days. Sure. Um, and then, uh- Missile Command was always good for the Pizza Hut- Yeah...
24:22
for the Pizza Hut vis- I like- Like, like, let me get away from the folks... like the table? Yeah. Tabletop version? Yeah. What about, uh, what about Defender?
24:31
Loved it And it was- And Stargate [laughs] I mean, which were essentially the same, but- Yeah... one was- Great game... the sequel. But yeah, I had a r- good rhythm. I had a good- I-... Stargate rhythm.
24:40
'Cause, oh, no, Stargate you could go back both directions. It was like bisexual Defender.
24:47
[laughs] Well, well, once the podcast studio gets up and running, I think we may do a show and get in some old games and have a game league that would be a podcast show. Ah, I still... I could dust off my old Dreamcast.
24:59
Oh, I'm talking about bringing in full on arcade-y games. Oh, I want 720. Like Cent- Centipede. Seven 20, 720. All right. Skate or Die.
25:08
Yes, I'll be- And then all the bees coming after you unless you get to the skate park. I remember those games. I wish I still had them in my- I still want that goddamn stand-up so badly- Yeah... badly- The, the, the-...
25:20
badly, badly, badly, badly... they're, they're out there. I know, but I... Any space to house it and money to purchase it are- Yeah...
25:29
different- We're gonna, we're gonna have a full on arcade up in here, just like every high-tech company that- Like Flynn in Tron... gets a, gets a, gets a round of funding... it, it all gets back to Tron. Yeah.
25:38
As soon as- [laughs]... as soon as we get our seed round, I'm buying all these video games. [laughs] I have a thing on here, it's called, "Hey, please buy some Omnium cargo bikes from Everyday Cycles." Do it.
25:52
I just put one of them on Facebook Marketplace, which has been getting quite the... There's been some questions about it already, so I don't doubt that it will go away. That was a question, that ding.
26:02
That was a Tony Berger saying something. Oh, does he- Tony, Tony- He saved it for the show, Ozzy died... "Come straight from work and crash on the couch for a few hours.
26:10
I'll wake up by pouring cold water on you and handing you a beer." Uh, oh, this is Shannon. [laughs] Again. Oh. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
26:21
He gets a 15% bump in pay to work on Tuesday, but that has nothing to do with us today. I don't know. Who does? Shannon. Oh. I, whatever. I- [laughs] I have no, I have no what... I have no idea- [laughs]...
26:35
what he's talking about. It's a 24-hour thing. What? It, Tony says, "It goes all day Saturday too, dude, but I get it. I'll keep you posted. I get on at 3:00 AM."
26:47
The thing's not even halfway over yet, and we'll be awake at 3:30 AM, so w- what are you worrying about? Yeah. Let's go. You don't, you don't... Yeah, yeah. Come on. Yeah, yeah.
26:56
"I'll wake, I'll wake you up by pouring cold water on you and handing you a beer." I would, uh, I would spoil what To- Or tattoo him...
27:04
I'd spoil what Tony's doing in the backyard, but I'm not gonna do that because I don't think Molly knows about it yet. [laughs] Although, to be fair, I don't think she listens to the show.
27:17
She probably thinks you boys are silly. Uh, I get- But if she does, then I think we're silly, so there you go. Yeah. I get that a lot when I run into her while we're, uh, jockeying our- Coexisting...
27:29
our, our, our vehicles on the, on campus. Like, okay, all right. That she thinks we're- Get-... you're silly or we're silly? Well, I went to high school with her, so she already knows- Oh, right... I am. I mean...
27:40
[laughs] She's, she didn't go to... She, did she? Yeah. How did- She's at Lady Pope. Oh, I thought she went to Divine Savior. No, she a Lady Pope. All right then. Uh- [laughs]... let's see here.
27:51
I think we covered most junk on the list today. Newscape Past Steel Days, that was good. Robitz at Sabbatic, that was really good. Uh, but that was last week. We're more looking forward today, I think.
28:02
Yeah, not this rear window kind of- Yeah... yada yada life. Speaking of rear windows. Oh. Oh, M- Hitchcock... G. I was, I was on my way to the shop, uh, fr-
28:15
fr- fr- fr- Friday, last Friday, and I'm coming down Capitol, turning left onto Fratney, as you do when you're going to the shop, and ka- blam-o, my back passenger door window just exploded.
28:29
Like, I thought some guy was on the corner shooting at my car. It did. It was a dude with a fucking weed whacker that shot a rock at my car and broke my window. Guess who he worked for? The fine folks at River Works.
28:43
Guess where I went? "Hi, Ruth. My window got broken by your maintenance guy." [laughs] Uh, and to be fair, John, their maintenance manager, was very, very nice. So was the guy that actually did it, his name is, uh, Mr.
28:55
Hall, I like to call him. Um, but it was just the freakiest thing because I'm just slowing down- [laughs] Shit... to turn left and I go, I go, "What in the hell was that?" It was...
29:07
And, and you know how item- the- Yeah... especially the side window, not the windshield 'cause it's got plastic or something in it, but they just turn into these microscopic little pieces of glass. Oh, yeah, yeah.
29:18
So like the- Oh my God... the middle window? Such a mess. The one that, on the back door that goes down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That one. Ka-blam-o. Oh, yeah, yeah.
29:27
To be fair, it was a m- they took care of it and also- Sure... Safelite came out at 8:00 in the morning the next day and did it. Oh, Lord. So I wasn't... But then I made- I'm not gonna sing it. I won't.
29:39
Do they have a song? Oh, God. Come on, now. Do they have an iguana? Mm-mm-mm-mm. No iguana. I don't- Mm-mm. Safe flight. Everything's all right with Safe Flight. What? No.
29:51
Well, that would be a good one though, wouldn't it? Safe flight repair, safe flight replace. No, I think- That nonsense shit... first of all, mine's better. Well, I... mm-hmm, for sure. Why am I not in advertising?
30:01
I don't know. My dad was. I should probably get up on that. Anyhoo, so yeah.
30:05
[laughs] So they, they replaced it, and now except for finding the odd shard of glass when I'm doing something in the car, there's basically everything.
30:14
[laughs] It's back to the way it was before the, the mystery rock came flying through the window. That's funny. I mean- Oh... I mean- Yeah. No, it was-... now that it's all, now that it's all resolved, it's funny...
30:25
it, once I, once I s- learned that, that I wasn't getting shot at, I looked out the hole in the window- Yeah... because it's a tinted window. Sure. So now there's- Yeah... a hole that's not tinted. Right, right, right.
30:34
And I look directly at the guy with the string trimmer right across the street, I go, "I know exactly what happened." The culprit is the rock that you threw.
30:44
Plus he must have been going just through like gravel, 'cause there's like other little pit marks all on the side of the door. Yeah, but- So- Yeah, he's gonna get a scolding.
30:52
Oh, I, I- Or not, not even a scolding, but like a- No, like-... like a, like a talking and whatever. I think they're, it's fine... it'll be just like...
30:58
Well, no, it just everybody w- no, it's something that has to be addressed- Well, yeah... on everything and blah, blah. "Well, you have to be a little more mindful, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
31:05
And now we're gonna get a broom out and sweep before we edge... "And now what are we gonna do next time?" Yep. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da. And I mean, yeah, it, it just- He was cool. Andre. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Andre.
31:15
I mean, when you do- He was nice... when you do, uh... Alien Andre? Is he- he's everywhere, damn it. Nope. But he's one of the guys that I see in the neighborhood all the time- X-ray humans...
31:24
because they're, they're part of the, they're part of the cleanup crew that makes our fine River Works area here not as crappy because people use this as a dumping ground for all their shit, and they, they do, they edge stuff that's not normally maintained, and they- Sure.
31:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah... you know, cut grass where people are lazy. Bust and balls.
31:41
And, uh, they also clean up every single piece of trash that people just think, you know, the city's a garbage can and throw their shit out on the street. But yeah, that was exciting.
31:51
I don't wanna go through that again, thank you. [laughs] Mm-hmm. Um- Oh, yeah... the, the odd thing was, and I didn't notice it because I was more focused on getting somebody there as quickly as possible.
32:02
Everybody's like, "Well, we can do it Monday or Tuesday." I'm like, "Yeah, I kinda want it done tomorrow." So Safelite was able to do it, but I did not notice that they charged for the premium package. Of course.
32:13
Guess what's included in the premium package for your side window? A hole? Windshield wiper blades. There you go. I, but I- You never got 'em? Oh, I got 'em. You didn't need 'em? My... Well, I'll need 'em someday.
32:25
I don't need 'em today. [laughs] I just didn't even notice they were there, but to be f- I'm not paying for it, so. I hate dealing with cars, man. Well- That's why I don't...
32:35
I, I mean, I lo- I would, I would- I love having the option of having the vehicular transport of my bicycle, bring it all back to, of Full Cycles. But God, I just hate dealing with- I'd be like, "Hmm"...
32:49
I hate, I just hate dealing with it. I'm like, "Oh my God." "Oh, you got a flat tire. I think you need a new saddle." "What, what? It doesn't make any sense." Uh- Mm-hmm... h- so here's my Safelite tip of the day.
32:59
If they try to sell you the premium package, tell 'em, "You know what? All I need is the window installed. I don't really need new wiper blades for-" See, see, see, yeah, yeah...
33:08
you know, and they're more expensive than, you know... Even, even a high-end, you know, whatever l- wiper blade is probably half the price. Dude, they have a...
33:16
Yeah, there was a, a- He also put RainGuard on my windshield. [laughs] Are you sure it was? Or just- [laughs]... his own special? Yeah, they've, you know.
33:24
No, there's a- I heard him bitching about it too, because I didn't get a new windshield, which are super easy to clean. This one had a bunch of bugs and shit on it.
33:30
[laughs] It's like- Yeah, dude- He is a very nice guy... dude, there was an SNL, uh... [laughs] They, they kept going back to having that commercial.
33:39
I wonder if I- Pop in on one thing and it gets a little- I wonder if I have-... fuzzy and creepy... I wonder if I have a picture of the dude.
33:44
His name was Emmett, and I think if he doesn't have a career as a stand-up comedian, he really should. He's leaning that direction? Oh, he's just, he was just so, um... He, he, he had a shtick. Everything was a shtick.
33:59
And it was entertaining. I was entertained by him. Plus- So... plus- Da, da, da, da, da, da... even though I was entertained by him, he also put in my window, and, uh, it works fine. But, um, meh.
34:12
[laughs] Oh, here we go. I put- He put in my windshield and it works fine. Yeah, put in my windshield. Well, I- Uh-... one would hope so. But wait, what- Never- What? Ah, whatever. I don't know...
34:19
slightly malfunctioning windshield. Oh, Safelite. I just think you gotta see a photo of Emmett if we can find one here. Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Em- Em- Emmett Walsh? Hmm.
34:30
He was in Blade Runner with, uh, Harrison Ford. He Blade Runner. Oh, is he the, is he the guy that made the, uh, the eyes? He's the one like, "I need, I need, I need the old Blade Runner back."
34:40
Oh, I- Right at the beginning... who was the eyes guy? I did eyes. I did the eyes. Oh, uh, David, uh- Hmm... Lo? Uh- Don't... No... but he was in everything. He was like in- Important issue... he was in everything.
34:55
He was David Lo Pan. He was everybody. Everybody's everybody. You're not put on this earth to get it, Jack Burton. [laughs] Um, I, I know I had a picture of him.
35:07
I just thought it would be cool if you could see a picture. But basically he had the chin strap. Oh, gotcha. Kinda like your, uh, your, your Mennoniter- Well, well, uh-... your Amish fellas...
35:17
my, uh, circle- But it was red... my circle beard? Not fully circled, but at least the chin strap going that way. Anyway, Emmett- That takes work... thank you very much... that takes work.
35:26
And on that note, Emmett, I will talk to you next week. Uh, we managed to stumble through another show. And, um, Shannon, come up to the River West 24. You will. And, and enjoy your time here.
