[upbeat rock music] Uh, Happy New Year, everybody. Happy 2021. Happy New Year.
0:18
Happy, Happy New year. What a, what a day, huh? Go kick rocks 2020, ri- you're outta here. Yeah. Get, get away, get away from us you, 2020 Look, what are those people doing jumping in the lake?
0:29
What kind of craziness is that? I don't know. Aren't we down there watching them right now? Oh. Probably. [laughs] This is after. This is after. Probably watching them. Exactly.
0:38
And I've remained upright this entire weekend. Yay. No torn biceps or broken clavicles or sprained ankles or, mm, you know- Boo... microfracture ribs and
0:53
every year for the past 20 years, I, there's been some calamity, and this year I- [drums] Well, you only- That was good... yard sale-d a little last year, and it was caught on tape, which made it that much funnier.
1:04
That was- Caught on tape... two years, that was two years ago. Oh, was it? Okay. 'Cause, 'cause last year I ate it walking the night before. Oh, that's right.
1:13
And you couldn't even- And I had a broken w- or a torn bicep wing. Yeah. And then that, when I met you down there and I'm like, "I just gonna go home and ride one-handed somehow back." Oh, yeah, yeah.
1:24
You came down- [laughs]... and you, you immediately- Remember that... left, so. Yep, yep, yep, yep. I could not- I remember that. That was a sad day.
1:31
I guess if anybody didn't already know this, we're, we're out riding our bikes now. Yeah, [laughs] in the snow. I guess we- 80% chance of snow with 35-degree weather. That's gonna be a sticky, mushy mess. Yeah.
1:43
How much did we get for snow? The other night? Yeah. Four inches plus? Four to six maybe. Eh. It was very heavy. West Allica allegedly got eight, over eight inches. They are always blowing up things, so, you know.
1:57
I think it's, is the drift. West Allica. Yeah. Heavy, heavy snow. It's heavy. I, I woke up to a flat tire on the, on the van today. Oh, no. And that just sucks. I hate flat tires. Could've been any day earlier- I, uh-...
2:11
and there wouldn't have been any snow... y- the, the day before the snow storm I came walking out to, uh, riding my bike to go work on the house, and my neighbor guy was sitting there
2:21
starting to unload his trunk, and I looked down and saw his Impala wheel flat. And I'm like, "Hey, dude, no pump?" He's like, "No." I'm like, "I got you covered."
2:31
He's like, "Do you need, like, a cigarette lighter or something?" I'm like, "No. I'll be right back." And I came back with my Ryobi. Oh, yeah. Your, your little electric- Yeah... drill-looking pump...
2:41
handheld drill pump. I inflated- Oh, yeah. [laughs] I inflated his three PSI tire to 20, and he promptly went and get a new tire because it was gone. Yeah. Yeah.
2:50
How, how long did it, how long did it take to do a car tire? It, it took a little bit of time, but, I mean, just holding a button. It's no big deal. It wasn't like we were working at it or anything.
2:57
[laughs] Uh- He was pretty stoked. He was like [laughs] then he put his stuff back in his trunk. He's like, "I'm going to get a tire right now." I'm like, "Yes, you are." [laughs] Quality had some pump. Uh,
3:08
they probably don't have it now though, 'cause they don't have anything. I was trying to get some just TRP brake pads for Dan's bike. No. No, you can't get those. Wow. Can't get the Shimano equivalent.
3:18
Can't get the Jaguar equivalent. Wow. Can't get no freaking brake pad for [laughs] how you supposed to stop with no brake pads, folks? Yeah. You freak- Um, they-... fucking work out... I wanna see what this one is.
3:28
This is, this is a pump. But it looked pretty cool. It's small, too. You carry it with you. Lithium ion powered. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. See, that's the way to go. That's gonna, that's gonna change that technology,
3:38
you know, especially for roadie. Well, no, I don't know. Getting up to 115 PSI is like some of those crazy dudes are riding now. How, how, how much can the Ryobi do?
3:50
Oh, it'll do, like, it'll do 120 PSI total, but I've never, I mean, I bought it to ri- [laughs] to inflate fat bike tires to work. [laughs] Yeah, I don't think they're, I think the most tire pressure I run is about 40
4:02
on the, um, uh, what ti- what are, what are those tires? Those thick slicks? Thick slicks? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I got those babies up to 65. [laughs] I love those. Yeah. Well, you got skinnier ones, too, though, right?
4:14
Uh, 29ers. I'm running 29 by two. No, that's the same. I just like the cushiness of it without it- They are really nice at about 40... without it being fully, fully- They are really nice if they're super squishy.
4:25
They, they are comfortable. Well, they got four pages of pumps you can't buy over here at Quality Bike. [laughs] Here we go. Fumpa, F-U-M-P-A. A Fumpa pump. [laughs] Fumpa pump. Exactly.
4:39
Uh, it's a little more spendy, I think, than the, uh, Ryobi thing. Oh, they've got a bunch of the Fumpa pump if you happen to need one. Or is a Fumpa pump? It will do, um- What's the retail price?...
4:48
700 by 23, which, to be fair- Mm... doesn't have much to fill, but it'll do that in 40 to 50 seconds to 100 PSI. How many times, though? I mean, how long is this- Pumps up to six tires on a single charge. It's 380 grams.
5:03
It's really small. Yeah, it's obviously tiny. I mean, 'cause that's, th- those numbers aren't impressive unless it's tiny. There's a, there's a, there's a Fumpa pump right there. Oh, okay. That's a Fumpa pump. All right.
5:11
Yeah, that's pretty tiny. That's pretty tiny, Greg. Greg, that's pretty tiny. I think, I think they make another one, too. I mean, it's barely bigger than a 700 by 23 tube. Yeah. It's a bigger- That's, that's kinda neat.
5:21
But it retails for two hundo. See, that's bullshit right there. [laughs] Okay. Now you just totally turned me off from it. [laughs] But is it bigger than a chess piece? That's why they're still in stock.
5:31
[laughs] Well, I think it, it's mostly because it's so freaking small, you know? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, wait. Oh, but, it, nope. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, there's an even smaller one. Mm. Look at this guy here.
5:42
This is the, the Fumpa pump mini. [laughs] Is it $400? No, it's a buck tw- what is it? Look at how small that thing is. Okay, that's pretty funky. And that one just goes right onto- Oh, but it's CO2 cartridges. No, no.
5:56
It's just showing the size comparison. Oh, it's the size. Okay. Okay. Okay. That one's a buck and a half. It's obviously rechargeable So if, if it's fully charged, it can pump up to two 700 by 25s.
6:06
That's not gonna do much good on a- That's, that's a terrible-... on the, on the fat, on the fat bike... yeah, that's a terrible product. I'm sorry. [laughs] I'm sorry.
6:13
It, but that ain't- But that's a weight weenie product right there. I, yeah, probably. That's all that is. It's, um, it's, it's smaller than a pack of smokes. I don't care. Is it bigger than a chess piece?
6:25
I, uh- Did you, like, is this your Queen's Gambit segue? I, uh- No. No, no, no, that was Cowboy Ray from Mancow Muller. Yeah. Mancow's Morning Madhouse, Cowboy Ray talking about his bird.
6:39
Yeah, it was bigger than a chess piece. [laughs] Is, is, is Mancow still on the air? [laughs] Yeah, I think so- Ugh... in some way, shape, or form. His ass floated into [coughs] by damn Conspiracy world,
6:54
America's Book of Secrets. It's on the Netflix or something, whatever. Season Two comes out, they kinda have a new cast of contributors or whatever. Guess who one of 'em was? Mancow Muller.
7:07
[laughs] Like, you gotta be shitting me, [laughs] this fricking tool. All right, digression. No more, no more Mancow speak. Ugh, yeah. So were you happy with what you rode to the, uh, lake to, this is, today?
7:22
What, what did I ride? I don't remember yet. That's- [laughs] You think anyone's gonna ride an electric bike? Don't know. Got a couple of them we could- I know... probably pull out and- Eh... get wet. I don't know.
7:33
I'm gonna get- Unless a-... them all f- full of shit and dirty... bore. That would be
7:37
a fun bike to get all [laughs] shit full of dirty and stuff, but- Was kinda hoping that QBP would cut loose with the rest of my, uh, Wednesdays, 'cause I'd ride a, I'd ride a medium Wednesday down there, but- Ah...
7:50
don't have no Wednesdays anymore. I'll probably just ride the First Edition Northpaw. Yep. I might do a Chumba, get it all dirty. It's all clean right now. There you go.
8:02
[laughs] That's, you rode that last year too, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I don't, uh, da-da-da, uh, yeah, that doesn't have studs on it, so- Well, I think it's gonna be sloppy. I don't think you're gonna want studs.
8:12
I think you're gonna want low tire pressure and pancakey-ness. Guess what else QBP doesn't have right now? Tires? Freaking- Tubes? They don't have any of those toboggans left. We got two sets of toboggans.
8:23
I was gonna buy some more, 'cause you guys are like, "Oh, I want some toboggans with studs on them," from me. Yeah. Nope. Not gonna come until S- September of 2021 or something, I think. That's silly.
8:35
It's a bunch of hooey. Yeah. It is. That's hooey. It, it's hooey, is what it is. It's hooey. Um, yeah, ETA September 2021. So what, they had, they bought 10 pair? No, they had a bunch of them. Oh.
8:49
I think we, I, they had a limit of 10, so I- Yeah... you know, bought six or eight or 10 or something. I don't remember what we got. There's a pair running around up there in, uh, uh, what do they call that?
9:01
The UP up that way now, the Yoopers up there. Uh-huh. Guy came all the way down here to get them. Really? Yep. Well, he happened to be here, I think.
9:10
[laughs] He was, he was excited, 'cause they've been getting snow up that way more. Are they, what, 80 a tire? Yeah, something like that. 80, 85, I think I saw. 89? I don't know.
9:21
I jacked the price up- They're, they're-... 'cause we can't get any more. I mean, a great price considering what's, uh, you know. I think they go for, uh, $77 is what they go for.
9:30
Although you can, you can advertise them for as low as 62, so guess what they're gonna sell for? Six- $77... six, uh, $62 a piece. Yeah.
9:38
Problem with them is they're wire bead, so trying to ship them is gonna be a challenge, and expensive. But that's fine. Miguel, you gotta put the, uh, the fat bike wheels back on your steed. Yeah, yeah.
9:54
I gotta kinda figure out what the hell... [clicks tongue] When that works. [laughs] Oh, yeah. 'Cause there is a ballet to that. JK's here and Tony's here. [laughs] Oh, yeah. Forgot- Yeah, we're here...
10:06
forgot to do introductions. How, inter- interruptions. Is it getting close to the top of the hill? I mean- I was so, I was- I think so... I was so happy- We've been doing all kinds of crazy shit...
10:12
it was, that it's, that it's New Year's I just forgot to tell- All right... people who the hell we are. Thanks, JK. I can, I can do the ringing thingy. Ringing thingy. Top of the hill. Get to the top of the hill.
10:25
It was a tough climb. JK's been, uh- No one's- He's been-... riding an electric bike today... JK's been doing, uh, some, some good beer pulls here. Yeah. JK's like, y- you got a beer pass for a while.
10:36
You've been providing a lot of beer. Well, there's a whole, there's a whole case of Happy Place in there, too. When we run out of this- Got a whole- You didn't say that...
10:44
got a whole freezer full of popsicles down in the basement, boys. [laughs] Um, I, I, I have not had this, this particular beer before. Uh, I, I ran across it- This is really pleasing...
10:57
in, in the, uh, variety pack for the holidays. Gotcha. Just to have something that wasn't just dad beer or just committing to a 12-pack of something. I'm like, "Ah, yeah." New Belgium Accumulation.
11:09
Accumulation White IPA. Apropos as it just snowed, so. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Timing is perfect. It is a white India pale ale brewed and canned by New Belgium, Fort Collins, Colorado and Asheville, North Carolina. 6.2.
11:23
6.2. It's very drinkable. It is. You know, and which is good because a lot of the, um, New Belgium beers, I, I don't know, some of them I don't really go for, but this one's tasty. This one's pretty good.
11:34
And, and picking- Take, take, make sure you take pictures of that, Tony, brother. Oh, I haven't taken pictures yet. Take, take, take some pictures of those. I will take some pictures.
11:39
Can I, can I just throw in a, a total complete sideline and- No... and- We always stay on point... I know. But that is, uh- Yeah, we're, we're following a script directly prepared for your entertainment pleasure...
11:50
my daughter informed me that she is the top 7.2 percentile of her class. She's 12th of 178 students. Wow. I'm, uh, I'm pretty proud of my daughter right now. Yeah. Wow.
12:05
Total pain in the ass otherwise, but- Is she in person or not? No. She's MPS, baby The, uh, the school where my boy goes to is gonna be, um- Oh yeah...
12:17
back to their blended setup where they're there for two days and home for three. One more just to make sure. Right, right starting, uh, I dunno, when they go back, the 4th or something.
12:28
Wow, you got a lot of, uh, you got a lot of stuff going on over there. I'm a damn- Yeah, I'm like a NAS- NASCAR ri- driver right now. [laughs] Pretty much, man. With the promotions.
12:35
We got the RW24, the 91.7 WMSC, the greatest radio station in the world. Some New Belgium. We, yeah. Hey, if you wanna ring in 2021 in a good way, send, send a donation over there to 91.7wmc.org. Damn right. Damn right.
12:49
I am very tempted to buy the yoga pants for myself. [laughs] I, honestly- I am- You know what? I just wear, I, I wear like- Ah. I wear tights. I wear- Tell you what...
12:57
women's clothing when it's cold out, and I'm gonna get these. Tell you what, JK. I tell you what. I don't care. Are they Lululemons? I don't know. I tell you what, JK. [laughs] Since we love this station so much,
13:09
if you buy me a pair- [laughs]... I'll buy you a pair. Oh, my. [laughs] WMSC wins both ways. [laughs] 'Cause I have no ambition whatsoever to own a pair of yoga pants, but I think it'd be fucking hilarious to get some.
13:23
Where do we, where do we find these donations? Oh, they're on there. Yeah, they're in the store. WMSC. Yeah, they're, they're in the store. The Big Sound downtown?
13:30
Um, I have actually, this is a total digression and this is New Year's, but I have, uh, also informed my wife that, um,
13:38
we have to donate at least a portion of our stimulus checks considering neither one of us really had a great loss this year financially. And, you know. That's a good, that's a good idea.
13:48
I mean, you know- Oh, see, there's the, there's the poochie babies for the... For the band- bandanas? Bandanas. Yeah. Well, you can get five of those bandanas for the price of four at only $20 for five. Mm-hmm.
13:58
That, you know, bandanas are not normally that inexpensive. I know. And when I saw them and I saw that cute dog, I'm like, "Well, I have to have a bandana." That dog's eyeballing me. Look at that thing.
14:08
That dog's eyeballing. That dog's cute. All right. So are you gonna get extra small yoga pants? [laughs] What, how, how- No. No. Daniel... how, how large do they come? They're 100% cotton. They go up to double X, baby.
14:21
Probably. Um- Think in a max... it's got the, the WMSC radio tower on it. Mm-hmm. Where? [laughs] That's the question. Down, down like right around here. No, that's probably [laughs] good. Down near your ankle area.
14:32
Yeah. [laughs] Are they, uh, are they full length or are they like- Ah, I haven't looked into them too much... three quarter? I th- there's just one small picture. But- Yeah...
14:39
if they're flared and, and- C- Quantiquesa, how much are they? 35. Ah, ain't too bad. Exactly. It's in the- For WMSC- Yeah, yeah. It's in the-... that's totally worth it. [laughs] That's totally worth it.
14:50
Well, the other shirts are, you know, everything's reasonably priced. They, yeah, they are- But it goes to a good cause... it's a, it goes to a fantastic cause. I know. I, I, I
14:57
don't know what happened to my Smasher T-shirt. I know Kim has hers somewhere. But- I have mine still somewhere, too... but, but she's, she's lady-ified it, so I- Ah...
15:07
can't, you know, with the cut and the thing- Oh, boy... and the, the doohickey. Yeah, my wife does that to all of my cool shit. You can get yourself a black patch. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's ownership. That's- Yeah...
15:14
female ownership with a damn scissors Molly scoops it now. 40 bucks for a hoodie. That's not too bad. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They do the, uh, did you see the sweater? Is that still on there, the hand-knit layer?
15:26
Oh, I think that was one of the gifts. It's really expensive, but it's really, really cool. Yeah, yeah. That was one of the gifts for the fundraiser. Yeah, for the fundraiser. And they had socks for the fundraiser, too.
15:34
Ah, I think Kim goes through- I'm just waiting f- Yeah, I know. I'm waiting for those to float into the store. Yep. I don't see them. [laughs] But yep, good stuff. Good stuff. Check it out.
15:43
Well, dude- Listen to the s- listen to the show... listen to the shows, man. Do they... Oh, yeah, yeah. The top right. They have the Guitar Smasher hoodie. Mm-hmm. Yep. That's something. That's temptation.
15:51
That's temptation. But- Good stuff... I'm, I'm sitting on way too many damn tw- sweatshirts as the first one. [laughs] I, I also have a ton of sweatshirts right now. Sweatshirts and T-shirts. Almost all black. Very.
16:02
Um, yeah. I have one I like so much it's the only one I wear, which is the Surly Merino wool one. Yeah, I almost wore that today to show you just how fucking beat up it is. I hate that sweatshirt.
16:12
I've, I've got like two that are this way, but- $200 for that thing... I like that, that it has, it has the doper... And I always like to have the doper. Carhartts have that and some other ones. What's...
16:23
Oh, for your pack smokes on the outside? Exactly. Yeah. It, yeah, it's like the jeans with the, the small- Did I, did I have my present to myself last week? Uh, no.
16:32
Well, I just, I couldn't, I kept looking at it for about 50 million times, the little dangle- Oh my God [laughs]... Dangle Supply little titanium goodness. That is just ridiculous. [laughs] Look at that.
16:43
Well, when they came out with the darkest of darkness black like that, I'm like, "Yeah, okay. It's my Christmas present for me." That's kinda fascinating. Yep. Nothing's darker than the dark lord's darkest.
16:57
You know, it's like that. Right. Dangle Supply, folks. Check it out. They make some really cool hangly-dangly things for hanging off your backpack or for when you stop out there on the trail and you- Safety...
17:09
you need to just take a quick break. Safety break. Safety break. Yeah, there you go. But yes, it is a little smaller than I was anticipating. It's pretty tiny. [laughs] It's pretty tiny.
17:21
It's definitely a, a, you could get a couple hits out of there, but it draws real nice. It's beautiful for your tobacco products.
17:28
So I'm re-buying for at least 25 bucks plus shipping and whatever from the Clutch merch store, Band Clutch, in case you're wondering, 'cause I noticed my T-shirt is fraying. Uh- You have to... beyond the fray. Yeah.
17:45
But yeah, replacing that sucker. You know- Oh, nice... you've seen me in that one. Yep, yep.
17:49
With the, I have no idea where the 414 on the Elephant Riders comes into play in that, but 414's our area code, and you can't not do it. Gotta do it. Gotta do it. Gotta, gotta do it. In rep for a cent.
18:03
And then I'll buy like a trillion other things. They got $20 Maryland flip-flops. Yeah. For God sakes. Good stuff, Clutch. Yeah. Them Clutchy guys. Tony's been working on the, uh, the Shark over there, huh?
18:17
Electric Shark? E- sharkarama How's it coming? It's getting there E- shark, e- shark- It, it, is there, there... Well, the only thing I have a really con- weird concern about is what's, where's the other, uh, crank arm?
18:31
What crank arm? Has it got an extension? It's got an electric motor. What do you need a crank arm for? To pedal. [laughs] Check it. There should be a crank arm with it- All right...
18:41
somewhere We gotta, uh, we gotta find that, otherwise, the, the factory crank arm's going to bash up against the ba- ba- ya, ya, ya, ya, yang, yang motor. That's installed and tightened. I tightened everything up.
18:53
Got that fancy tool right there. Yeah, it's a nice tool. It, it definitely...
18:56
What I like about it is the size, so you know you're getting Newton meter correctness just because it's so small that if you give it a good crank, it can't get too tight. I had a hard time getting that one off.
19:08
Whoever put it on probably used- Some sort of-... some sort of [mimics drill] Oh, yeah... kind of thing maybe. I don't know. It's not a car, freak's sake. Yeah. You don't have to tighten it that much. Yeah.
19:18
So now I have to buy some tool as well while I'm on the- As in a tutu? Merchandise. What? Tool. As in something you're gonna put under your dress? No. Tool, the band. Oh, okay. 'Cause then, mm-hmm.
19:32
[sighs] It's working out this way. There's a lot of shopping going on here today. Yeah, welcome. Did you get a, did you get a windfall from the government yet? No, I looked.
19:40
I thought it was, but it was actually my payday. [laughs] I was like, "Shit!" And no. [laughs] Not that that would really impact anything. I'd be like, "No, no, no, no, no, no." Yeah. "Don't pay the test with me.
19:54
Just wait till the two grand comes around," you know? Yeah. When is it? Yeah. Is that... That hasn't happened yet. No, no, they're still far- fighting. Yeah.
20:01
So looking at things I dig, I need some opinions on, you guys, here. Um, because I have to go, for you listeners that don't know, I have to go back and forth between my houses to shovel now, um, and I'm an old man.
20:17
I would like to be able to transport my blower of snow, my beautiful Toro snowblower. So I looked at- Sounds-... trailer hitch mount, uh, racks that I can roll my snowblower up onto to transport to the other house.
20:32
On the vehicle or on the bike? On the vehicular. Oh, I was gonna say- On the bike... you could just pull that burly trailer over there and slap her on that thing It's too big for that. All right.
20:40
[laughs] Well, then get a Bill or a Ted or some- Yeah... excellent adventure reference thing. Yeah. Toro sounds like a load of bull. Uh-huh. I've been watching a lot of James Bond.
20:49
You know, you could always buy a second snowblower, too. Ah, it's James Bond. You know, [sniffs] no, I couldn't if you really wanna get down to it, 'cause I have to buy my first one, 'cause this one was given to me.
20:59
Uh-huh. Mine is now in the middle of the garage. I pulled it out of the corner. Did it start? Don't know. Haven't tried it for 10 years. I'm imagining- 10 years? I'm imagining it'll start. I bet it'll start.
21:10
First pull, probably. No way. What- It's a two-stroke, man. Those things never, never die My two-stroke, I had to clean off the spark plug. Probably gonna pull the plug out.
21:16
And I literally pulled it, and it fired right up. [laughs] I was like, "Whoa!"
21:19
I'm just saying there's nothing more delightful than watching someone that you really don't really care for really struggle with a- A snowblower... snowblower. Oh, it's just- Maybe a lawnmower- It's really, oh-...
21:30
about the same because then they're sweating... and especially, oh my God, when it's your day off.
21:34
Oh, and you're enjoying, you know, just a little glass of breakfast wine, looking out the window, going, "Oh, this is brilliant." [laughs] "Ah, it looks cold for him. Ah." So you had a day off today, huh? Yeah.
21:51
Yeah, and it, the day went quick. You off tomorrow, too? Exactly. And Friday? Exactly. Well, and today. I mean, yes, in the past and the present and the future. All good stuff. Yeah. Being off is good.

Well, if you wanna devote some time to pull an electric cable with me, you just come on over. Oh, you know, I, uh, the, the, that, that thing. Yeah. You know, that thing came up. Boink. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
22:12
Again, I've been watching a lot of James Bond. [laughs] Sorry, Dale. Something just came up. So you, you're thinking about a hitch mount thing? Yeah, like one of those, you know, they, they...
22:23
You mount it to your hitch, and it, it basically is a platform that you can then- Right. Yeah, Harbor Freight has those things... strap some down. Oh, I didn't even think about looking at Harbor Freight. Yeah.
22:31
They probably got them for, like, nothing. Yeah, I think they're, like, Dave got one and modified it to carry two fat bikes on. Oh, if they're strong enough. I mean, this thing doesn't weigh anything close to a fat bike.
22:43
I don't know. I just wanna be able to strap it on, pull, uh- Sure. That's what he said... and be able to take, take, I'll be able to take it- [laughs] That's what he- All right, yeah... did just say that.
22:51
I don't want it to be, like, 80 pounds. I wanna be able to slide... I'm stopping right now. [laughs] Well, you know- Just stopping... well, if it's gonna come to 80 pounds, yeah, I know. And now we gotta do the- Yeah...
23:03
currency conversion. Um- Ah... uh, hit, there we go. Um, the Haul-Master 500-pound steel cargo carrier, 39.99, Harbor Freight. Yeah. What does that thing weigh? I don't know.
23:17
You could- That's- You could spend more if you wanted to Well, I was looking at, like- It, it-... aluminum, 40-pound aluminum ones on eBay are 200, or on Amazon are 200 bucks.
23:24
They got an aluminum one with a ramp for a wheelchair. How much? 159. Yeah, see, that's about what I'm looking at. Um, I don't know what this thing weighs. Oh, I've seen the, I've seen the dog step ones.
23:35
You gotta get the right wheel width, you know, 'cause my, my snowblower is... Oops, sorry, my snowblower's 24 inches wide. You add the tires to it, it's, you know. Product weight, 30 pounds for the 40 buck one.
23:47
Wait, there's one for $40? 39.99. For a platform? Yeah. It's right here. What is that gonna get you, a year? I mean, that's insane. That's, like I said, that's the one that Dave modified for fat bikes.
23:57
[sighs] I- he took it all the way up to Sheboygan. That's crazy. Huh? I'll look at that. Otherwise, the aluminum one, I mean- No, that's my cousin, Crazy Chuck. We're all a little worried about him. Your cousin?
24:10
Crazy Chuck. Crazy Chuck. [laughs] I'm just doing the non-sequitur over here. Yep. It's the new year, and this is the new me, 2021. Three bags of mulch- Yeah... and some fertilizer on, on one here.
24:23
Yeah, that's what got me here. That might get me there. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see It's just, it's a four-block. Uh, the, the thing is that they'll take it on and off easily so it fits properly in my garage.
24:33
Is that, is there somebody eyeballing us? There's a human floating out the door. Hello? Hello? Yeah. Keep it moving. Need to go. Nothing to see here. [laughs] That was kinda weird. Yeah.
24:43
I, oh, I didn't get, I didn't put the Jedi mind shit up. Phew. Nothing for you to see here. Keep moving on. The force was strong with me, it moved on. Hmm. Is he back? No. Is he not back?
24:55
Never know with people out in this here neighborhood. I know. It's my neighborhood. I love 'em all. Uh, well- I, yeah, I love 'em all. I just don't like a lot of 'em. [laughs] Kinda like family, you know?
25:09
Hey, here's something- Getting over that hump of the holiday season... here's something good. Uh, Roll Bike I ordered for Steve's buddy Tom shipped yesterday. Oh, nice. It's a CR- Similar to yours?
25:20
It's a CR-1, but it's their kinda coolish new burgundy reddish color. Ooh. 'Cause he didn't wanna have a twinsie with his buddy. All right. [laughs] Oh, I like that. Still the, uh, s- thick slicks? Yep.
25:32
CR, yeah, the full CR-1 treatment- Nice... just with the different frame color. Very cool. That, that will be a fantastic ride for that gentleman to have.
25:39
So while you can get 'em, if you were considering a Roll bicycle from rollbicycles.com- Get one now... you should probably do it now, 'cause- It's a fantastic bike...
25:47
I learned that if you are speccing bikes overseas and you wanted like, like mid-range Shimano stuff, 480-day lead time right now. Whoa.
25:56
[laughs] So you're gonna probably wanna- I wanna start this business, but I can't wait a year and a half- I, yeah, I need to-... for my bikes... I need to just, "Hey, Mr.
26:04
Bank Man, can you just fund me for a year and a half- Yeah. Uh, yeah, yeah... while I'm waiting for shit to show up please?" [laughs] Trust me, as soon as that stuff shows up, I'll be busy. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah.
26:13
'Cause what's gonna happen in a year and a half? Probably be on some island somewhere, hopefully. Well, we... Yeah, that'd be cool. Earning 20%. 20. I, um- Die Hard, the holiday movie was just on.
26:27
I would like to just point out that a, I think that a Bitcoin that I had a friend buy for me at 3 cents a share is currently at 18 cents a share. Wow. You're making 15 cents. Per share? Hand over fist.
26:44
If you got 20,000 shares. Shares are good. Bitcoin, don't know about that. Damn. It's actually an ADA, but- Damn, damn, damn... still electric, electric- It's, it w-... electronic currency, right? Yeah.
26:57
It's totally volatile currency, but sure is fun to look at. Yeah. Well- I guess-... I wanted, uh, I was about to try to grab a website, an idea there. Oh. Antonio Bandanas. [laughs] Antonio Bandanas.
27:15
Oh, boy. Already taken. [laughs] All right. Well, damn it. Already taken. Did we waste another half hours of listeners' time? We're, we manage to do it every week somehow. Yeah. God.
27:24
So I guess we'll, uh, we'll cut out and, you know, 2021. Hey. 2021. Get your vaccination, ride your bike, look good. Excellent. See you next time. Bye bye.
