Bears and Broncos Advance in NFL Playoffs
00:00:08
Speaker
Hey, big weekend for our teams this week.
00:00:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:11
Speaker
I mean, both the Bears and the Broncos are in the second round of the NFL playoffs.
00:00:15
Speaker
I mean, at the same time.
00:00:17
Speaker
It's been quite a while since we've had to pay attention to the NFL this far into January.
Attending or Watching Playoff Games
00:00:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:25
Speaker
I've kind of thought that myself.
00:00:27
Speaker
Hey, are you guys going to go into the game this weekend?
00:00:30
Speaker
Damn right we are.
00:00:33
Speaker
Are you going to Denver?
00:00:35
Speaker
No, no.
00:00:36
Speaker
I'll be watching it.
00:00:37
Speaker
I'll be watching it from home.
00:00:38
Speaker
I'll be probably watching it from the end of Skull's location.
00:00:41
Speaker
Oh, I see how you are.
00:00:43
Speaker
I see.
00:00:45
Speaker
What do you see?
00:00:46
Speaker
What do you mean?
00:00:47
Speaker
I see it.
00:00:47
Speaker
What do you see?
00:00:49
Speaker
That's fine.
00:00:50
Speaker
That's fine.
00:00:50
Speaker
I mean, a real fan would be there in person, but that's fine.
00:00:54
Speaker
I see.
00:00:54
Speaker
You support your team from home, from afar, support doing a lot of work there, but sure.
Benefits of Season Tickets
00:01:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:01
Speaker
All right.
00:01:01
Speaker
All right.
00:01:02
Speaker
I get it.
00:01:02
Speaker
I get it.
00:01:03
Speaker
I mean, at least at least I saved a lot of money by not going to the game.
00:01:08
Speaker
Well, I mean, the good news for us is that because we have season tickets, we we get the option to purchase at face value, which, you know, is still a thing.
00:01:22
Speaker
But it's not nearly how much we would have to pay if we were going on stub up or something.
00:01:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I see.
00:01:28
Speaker
I see.
00:01:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:28
Speaker
I mean, that makes sense.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yeah, I get it.
00:01:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:31
Speaker
A real fan doesn't care about the money.
00:01:33
Speaker
They show up in person.
00:01:34
Speaker
They support their team.
00:01:36
Speaker
Well, if I remember correctly, not in the first round.
00:01:38
Speaker
The first round, you sell your tickets.
00:01:40
Speaker
But in the second round, the real fans show up.
Introducing 'Talking to Todd' Podcast
00:02:04
Speaker
Hi, toddlers.
00:02:06
Speaker
Welcome to Talking to Todd, a weekly podcast with Dwayne Johnson and Todd Prins, where failure is always an option.
00:02:13
Speaker
Thanks for joining us.
00:02:14
Speaker
Hey, Todd.
00:02:15
Speaker
Hey, how's it going?
00:02:16
Speaker
Pretty good.
00:02:17
Speaker
Pretty good.
00:02:18
Speaker
How are you?
00:02:19
Speaker
Not too bad.
00:02:19
Speaker
Not too bad.
00:02:20
Speaker
It's a little chilly here.
00:02:21
Speaker
So, I mean, you know, it's overnight lows are, you know, in the high 20s.
00:02:28
Speaker
So, you know, the temperatures are just about getting to 40.
00:02:32
Speaker
So just, you know, trying to get used to the new climate we're in.
00:02:36
Speaker
The new normal.
00:02:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:39
Speaker
It's chilly.
00:02:40
Speaker
A little chilly, y'all.
00:02:45
Speaker
But other than that, yes, we're doing well.
00:02:48
Speaker
It's apparently going to be a little chilly in Chicago this weekend as well.
00:02:53
Speaker
This is going to be like in the 20s or 30s.
Cold Weather for Chicago Playoff Game
00:02:55
Speaker
Like high for the day at 20 high for the day on Sunday is 22 and the game starts at 515.
00:03:02
Speaker
We will have long past 22.
00:03:05
Speaker
This is going to be one of the coldest games in the history of the NFL.
00:03:09
Speaker
Good news is there's going to be plenty of beer ahead of time, so nobody's going to feel it.
00:03:14
Speaker
Yeah, there will be double digit people in Soldier Field not wearing shirts is what that means.
00:03:20
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:23
Speaker
Which makes perfect sense.
00:03:26
Speaker
Will I be one of them?
00:03:27
Speaker
No, no, I will not.
00:03:29
Speaker
But yet we.
00:03:30
Speaker
Hey, buddy, if you're not going to use that shirt, do you mind if I just like use it as a towel or something like a blanket?
00:03:37
Speaker
We made the decision about 15 seconds after the Bears won that we were going.
00:03:45
Speaker
And about 20 seconds after the Bears won, Amy ordered an electric heated vest on Amazon.
00:03:52
Speaker
It's here.
00:03:53
Speaker
It's charged.
00:03:55
Speaker
Yes.
00:03:56
Speaker
Just going to be clear, be real careful going through security lines because a heated electric vest also looks like a vest with lots of wires and electronics attached to
Heated Vest and Game Security
00:04:07
Speaker
it.
00:04:07
Speaker
So you know what?
00:04:08
Speaker
Why don't you go?
00:04:09
Speaker
You should you should just go through a different maybe just an entirely different entrance while she's going through.
00:04:15
Speaker
See, two years ago, Lucas got me an electric heated coat to wear outside when I run the snowblower.
00:04:24
Speaker
The battery for that is also charged.
00:04:27
Speaker
Amy and I might as well just go through the same security gate together because they're just going to have to wand us down and yeah, whatever.
00:04:35
Speaker
Of the 65,000 people in that stadium, we are not going to be the only two that I'm guessing that are going to have to deal with this.
00:04:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:45
Speaker
All right.
00:04:45
Speaker
Well, good luck to both of our teams.
00:04:48
Speaker
The speaking of, you know how we had like $3 and 87 cents in our draft Kings account.
00:04:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:04:55
Speaker
I'll take your word for it.
00:04:56
Speaker
I mean, I pretty much let you run, you know, the finances, the big money.
00:05:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:03
Speaker
I now have, as of this morning, put a dollar on each of our teams to win the Super Bowl in DraftKings.
00:05:16
Speaker
Okay, excellent.
00:05:18
Speaker
And if the Broncos win, that $1 bet turns into $8.00.
00:05:25
Speaker
Oh, that's not ideal.
00:05:27
Speaker
I mean, the fact that it turns into $8 isn't ideal.
00:05:31
Speaker
Getting $8 would be nice.
00:05:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:05:34
Speaker
Well, if the $1 bet that I just placed on the Bears hits, it's worth $17.
00:05:41
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:05:43
Speaker
All right.
00:05:44
Speaker
Yes.
00:05:45
Speaker
So, yeah, the Broncos are in better shape.
00:05:49
Speaker
according to the odds makers than the bears, but the bears have the Pope on their side.
00:05:54
Speaker
So count nothing out.
00:06:02
Speaker
I mean, you'd like to think that he's busier with some other stuff, but you know, that's,
00:06:07
Speaker
I've also seen videos about how the Bears need to win the Super Bowl and close this really strange black hole that we're in right now and have been in since the Cubs won the World Series in 2016, which started this downward spiral of madness that we've been in since 2016.
00:06:28
Speaker
Hmm.
00:06:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:29
Speaker
So it's the Cubs fault.
00:06:33
Speaker
It's the Cubs fault and the Bears need to close the door.
00:06:37
Speaker
I mean, the Cubs winning the World Series is kind of like the monkey's paw.
00:06:41
Speaker
Congratulations.
00:06:42
Speaker
You broke the curse and started a brand new one.
00:06:45
Speaker
Yes.
00:06:46
Speaker
What happened?
00:06:48
Speaker
Let's see.
00:06:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:49
Speaker
How about some feedback, follow up and updates?
00:06:51
Speaker
Yeah, that sounds great.
00:06:53
Speaker
Did you catch anything this week?
00:06:54
Speaker
I don't think so.
00:06:55
Speaker
No.
00:06:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:06:58
Speaker
Let's see.
00:06:58
Speaker
From Doug of the Idiot Toddlers.
00:07:02
Speaker
Grinds my gears, makes a return, and you teed up some stupid freshman.
00:07:08
Speaker
You missed the title.
00:07:10
Speaker
You gave us the gift of being wrong twice during the Eminem segment.
00:07:16
Speaker
You, Marshall.
00:07:18
Speaker
By the way, my generation is all in for some Eminem trivia.
00:07:23
Speaker
Some solid work.
00:07:26
Speaker
And then like 15 minutes later, did you have a stroke at the end of that episode?
00:07:31
Speaker
My God.
00:07:35
Speaker
Which I believe I did.
00:07:40
Speaker
And then I think this was after the toddies episode.
00:07:44
Speaker
Thank you for letting me know how many hours I spent listening to this podcast without having to look it up.
00:07:50
Speaker
It's far less depressing that way.
00:07:52
Speaker
51 hours, lots of time I could have spent doing other things and did not.
00:07:59
Speaker
By, by the way, Doug.
00:08:01
Speaker
Um, actually I,
00:08:04
Speaker
We did 52 episodes.
00:08:06
Speaker
That was 2,912 minutes of content.
00:08:10
Speaker
The shows averaged 56 minutes for a total of 48 and a half total hours of listening time.
00:08:17
Speaker
So I just want to correct the record.
00:08:20
Speaker
I just kind of guessed before.
00:08:23
Speaker
So anyway, a little.
00:08:25
Speaker
So that was an actual correction.
00:08:28
Speaker
Yeah, that was that was that was an actual correction.
00:08:30
Speaker
Yes.
00:08:32
Speaker
Let's see from Jake from toddler Matt Damon, listening to the podcast regarding Christmas vacation being a realistic portrait of family Christmas.
00:08:42
Speaker
The notion of having our parents and our in-laws at our house for 10 days leading up to Christmas is absolutely unhinged.
00:08:51
Speaker
Not to mention a sibling in an RV.
00:08:53
Speaker
Look, if all of our parents are in a building together for 10 hours, there's a casket involved.
00:09:03
Speaker
He's not wrong.
00:09:06
Speaker
I mean, I mean, the cat did die in the spoiler alert in the, but yeah, I think he means something else.
00:09:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:14
Speaker
I also got a note from the dino toddler.
00:09:16
Speaker
Were you copied on this?
00:09:19
Speaker
No, I don't believe so.
00:09:21
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:09:22
Speaker
No, you know what?
00:09:22
Speaker
He listens to the show and he's like, send it, send it one place so that either that or, or I just skipped over a day, but no, I don't believe this.
00:09:32
Speaker
So last Sunday he went to the long track speed skating Olympic trials in Milwaukee.
00:09:41
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:09:42
Speaker
Attached are relevant pictures.
00:09:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:09:46
Speaker
Pettit Center concessions.
00:09:48
Speaker
Thanks, Josh.
00:09:49
Speaker
We're now obligated to read them.
00:09:52
Speaker
Bratwurst with chips, $8.
00:09:53
Speaker
Hot dog with chips, $7.
00:09:56
Speaker
It's Wisconsin.
00:09:57
Speaker
Brats only a dollar more.
00:09:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:00
Speaker
Soft pretzel with cheese, $6.
00:10:02
Speaker
Apparently you cannot get a soft pretzel without cheese.
00:10:05
Speaker
Nachos, also $6.
00:10:07
Speaker
Popcorn, five candy, three.
00:10:10
Speaker
20 ounce soda water Gatorade, $4 labeled as soda, water, and Gatorade, which is a brand name.
00:10:21
Speaker
However, the second picture, all labels have been removed due to sponsorship guidelines.
00:10:30
Speaker
Aquafina, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew, Lemonade, Starry, Gatorade,
00:10:35
Speaker
Every single label on every soda, water, and Gatorade bottle was removed.
00:10:42
Speaker
He's not sure if the beer labels were removed or just covered up, but the labels that I can see on the far right of the first picture were taped to the door so that they could tell the sodas apart in the cooler.
00:10:58
Speaker
It's for amateurs, except when it comes to making money, then it's for professionals.
00:11:05
Speaker
So I'm like, okay, so now I'm starting to theorize.
00:11:09
Speaker
So Coke is a, maybe Coke is a corporate sponsor of the event, but Pepsi has the soda contract for the venue.
00:11:18
Speaker
So you can't have any pictures that are being taken.
00:11:22
Speaker
that a Coke bottle or a Pepsi bottle might show up in the background when Coke, that's a writer.
00:11:28
Speaker
That's what that is.
00:11:29
Speaker
That is a writer.
00:11:30
Speaker
So Josh responded, it looks like Coke does sponsor Team USA.
00:11:35
Speaker
So I'm guessing your theory is correct.
00:11:37
Speaker
On top of that, adding to the confusion, you could use any regular credit card for concessions, but for merch,
00:11:46
Speaker
which was run by Fanatics, by the way, they only took Visa because Visa is a worldwide Olympic sponsor.
Sponsorship Issues at Olympic Trials
00:11:53
Speaker
Because of course they did.
00:11:55
Speaker
Yes.
00:11:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:57
Speaker
So Todd, you want to, you want to guess what the beer cost?
00:12:02
Speaker
for the Olympic trials, Michelob Ultra Spotted Cow, Goose Island Hazy Beer Hug, Stella, and Michelob Ultra Zero, all exactly the same price, Todd.
00:12:12
Speaker
Ooh.
00:12:12
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:12:13
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:14
Speaker
Exactly the same price.
00:12:16
Speaker
So does the forest.
00:12:18
Speaker
It's Wisconsin, home of former breweries.
00:12:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:25
Speaker
Let's see.
00:12:25
Speaker
Did you say Milwaukee's Best was in there?
00:12:27
Speaker
No.
00:12:28
Speaker
It was not.
00:12:29
Speaker
They did not offer the Beast.
00:12:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:31
Speaker
All right.
00:12:33
Speaker
Even though they were in Milwaukee.
00:12:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:36
Speaker
I'm going to say $11.50.
00:12:40
Speaker
I can't give you a bell.
00:12:41
Speaker
I can't even give you close to a bell.
00:12:43
Speaker
$6.
00:12:44
Speaker
Oh, that place was rocking.
00:12:51
Speaker
Right?
00:12:53
Speaker
Wow. $6.00.
00:12:56
Speaker
It's the place to go.
00:12:57
Speaker
When you said that, I was just thinking, hey, you know, he was there for the U.S. trials for the long track speed skating.
00:13:05
Speaker
In a few years, if people get their way, Josh, you will be able to go back there and watch the U.S. trials for the men's cross country for the Winter Olympics.
00:13:17
Speaker
Yes, if some people get their way.
00:13:19
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:20
Speaker
Again, if they get their way and they listen to us, there's the long track.
00:13:25
Speaker
Let's do some cross country.
00:13:27
Speaker
It's what I'm saying.
00:13:29
Speaker
I've got one quick thing for Dwayne's technical corner.
00:13:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:37
Speaker
Sorry, I'm just doing a ref thing here where I'm counting.
00:13:39
Speaker
It's a quick thing.
00:13:40
Speaker
You got 10 seconds before it's over.
00:13:41
Speaker
I got 10 seconds to get the ball in.
00:13:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:45
Speaker
I had, I had two, we had two flop warnings in a single game.
00:13:48
Speaker
I gave the second one, which means I gave my third technical out this year.
00:13:54
Speaker
So I think we can end the toilets to technicals ratio challenge for the 25, 26 season.
00:14:01
Speaker
I, I didn't make it to early January, which may be a new record.
00:14:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:08
Speaker
I don't know if that's positive or negative.
00:14:10
Speaker
It is what it is.
00:14:11
Speaker
It is.
00:14:11
Speaker
Here's the thing.
00:14:14
Speaker
I mean, you can get a technical for a flop warning.
00:14:18
Speaker
My thought is English football season starts in August.
00:14:21
Speaker
If they gave out, if technicals, if flop warnings became technicals, I mean, you could have in the first game said, well, I'm out.
00:14:29
Speaker
There's a lot of flopping.
00:14:32
Speaker
Wait, don't you have three toilets in your house?
00:14:33
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I'm well past that.
00:14:35
Speaker
It's the first half of the first match.
00:14:37
Speaker
Don't worry about it.
00:14:38
Speaker
Well, here's the other thing to to own something as an official.
00:14:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:45
Speaker
I thought the kid flopped.
00:14:47
Speaker
And so I went back and looked at it on tape.
00:14:50
Speaker
I was wrong.
00:14:51
Speaker
He actually got fouled.
00:14:52
Speaker
No.
00:14:53
Speaker
And so that was labeled incorrect call by the official upon review.
00:15:00
Speaker
The good news here is it absolutely had no bearing on the game whatsoever.
00:15:09
Speaker
In the moment, I thought I was right, but upon review, it was not.
00:15:14
Speaker
Well, you know what?
00:15:17
Speaker
You're not going to win them all, right?
00:15:18
Speaker
Hey, can't all be perfect.
00:15:19
Speaker
I do have a podcast I'd love for you to listen to, though.
00:15:23
Speaker
Nope, never mind.
00:15:25
Speaker
Anyway, that's fine.
00:15:27
Speaker
Should we see if you can get something right this week?
00:15:30
Speaker
Oh.
00:15:30
Speaker
I'm here, Yas Queen, to remind Todd of the mess Todd made when he answered wrong.
00:15:36
Speaker
Todd, Todd, Todd, no.
00:15:40
Speaker
That's right.
00:15:41
Speaker
It's time for Todd Audenow, one of America's favorite games.
00:15:45
Speaker
And this is an audio Todd Audenow.
00:15:48
Speaker
Sweet.
00:15:50
Speaker
Todd, are you familiar?
00:15:51
Speaker
I know you are familiar with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
00:15:56
Speaker
I'm aware of them.
00:15:57
Speaker
Yes.
00:15:57
Speaker
Yep.
00:15:58
Speaker
Yep.
00:15:58
Speaker
One of their one of their most famous songs.
00:16:03
Speaker
I love rock and roll.
00:16:05
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:06
Speaker
The opening the opening line for Todd ought to know that is that is the question for this week.
00:16:11
Speaker
Todd, what is the opening line for Todd ought to know?
00:16:15
Speaker
And I'm going to help you out here.
00:16:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:35
Speaker
What's the first line, Todd?
00:16:37
Speaker
It's standing there by the record machine.
00:16:45
Speaker
That's what everybody thinks it is.
00:16:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:51
Speaker
I saw him dancing there by the record machine.
00:16:54
Speaker
I knew he'd know.
00:16:59
Speaker
It's dancing.
00:17:00
Speaker
I saw him dancing there by the record machine.
00:17:03
Speaker
But everybody thinks it's standing.
00:17:07
Speaker
Even Nelson Mandela thinks it's standing.
00:17:10
Speaker
Yeah, I saw him get that wrong on Jeopardy.
00:17:15
Speaker
Pretty sure that's correct, yes.
00:17:16
Speaker
Yeah, I think that's the way that happened.
00:17:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:20
Speaker
I'm just going to say this.
00:17:21
Speaker
Whenever this plays in our car, the person in the car with me is going to get this right and then is going to give me a look that I got it wrong.
00:17:32
Speaker
I'm just... I'm going to be like...
00:17:38
Speaker
And we're now like a minute after this happened and I'm probably still getting the look.
00:17:42
Speaker
So, uh, yeah, to be completely clear, I wasn't paying as close of attention as I should because realistically what I was desperately trying to do, I swear, and I just couldn't, and this is so sad.
00:17:57
Speaker
Yes.
00:17:58
Speaker
What popped into my head as that music is playing is I need to put in a Taylor Swift lyric.
00:18:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:06
Speaker
And the sad thing is, I don't know.
00:18:11
Speaker
Anyway.
00:18:13
Speaker
I got a blank space, baby.
00:18:16
Speaker
See, that would have been funny.
00:18:22
Speaker
I know all sorts of stuff.
00:18:23
Speaker
And yet, hey, how about some Taylor Swift?
00:18:26
Speaker
Huh?
00:18:27
Speaker
What?
00:18:29
Speaker
Something something Christmas tree farm?
00:18:31
Speaker
I don't
00:18:35
Speaker
Something, something Christmas tree farm.
00:18:39
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:40
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:40
Speaker
That's how that song goes.
00:18:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:42
Speaker
I'm pretty sure.
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:43
Speaker
That's what everybody thinks it says.
00:18:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:45
Speaker
That's what everybody thinks it says is something, something Christmas tree farm.
00:18:49
Speaker
It's actually dancing farm, but you know, nobody knows that.
00:18:53
Speaker
Nobody, nobody knows that.
00:18:54
Speaker
Dancing farm.
00:18:56
Speaker
Dancing farm may be the title of this episode.
00:18:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:00
Speaker
All right.
00:19:01
Speaker
Well, apparently Todd doesn't know anything about music at all.
Corruption in FIA Elections
00:19:08
Speaker
Should we do a couple idiots?
00:19:10
Speaker
Sure.
00:19:11
Speaker
Yeah, that would be great.
00:19:13
Speaker
What did you bring this week for the Scott Frost Memorial Idiot of the Week?
00:19:17
Speaker
I thought I would talk about election laws.
00:19:21
Speaker
Oh, I deleted.
00:19:24
Speaker
I did not know you were going to do this.
00:19:26
Speaker
I deleted the other podcast theme in order to put Joan Jett on my board.
00:19:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:19:31
Speaker
You know what?
00:19:32
Speaker
That's fine.
00:19:32
Speaker
You need to be very careful here.
00:19:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:34
Speaker
Turns out this is nothing about all the election laws that we're worried about.
00:19:37
Speaker
This is about the election laws around the FIA, which is the world governing body that oversees Formula One and other motorsports activities.
00:19:46
Speaker
So this is a sports...
00:19:49
Speaker
sports election election law.
00:19:52
Speaker
So don't worry.
00:19:52
Speaker
You don't even need a theme.
00:19:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:19:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:19:55
Speaker
Because this is what people talk about for F1 during the off season.
00:20:00
Speaker
Will that end?
00:20:01
Speaker
Is Max quitting?
00:20:02
Speaker
Is he changing teams?
00:20:04
Speaker
Is he changing sponsors?
00:20:05
Speaker
What are the cars going to look like?
00:20:07
Speaker
Yes, all of that.
00:20:08
Speaker
Okay, so there's a bunch of motorsport divisions worldwide.
00:20:14
Speaker
The World Rally Division, Formula One, Formula Two, they are all overseen by the FIA,
00:20:22
Speaker
which is the Federation International Automobile.
00:20:25
Speaker
And it, like every good international sports body is just rife with corruption.
00:20:32
Speaker
Like just like down to its core.
00:20:36
Speaker
These guys are, these guys are no different.
00:20:38
Speaker
And so, um,
00:20:41
Speaker
The current president of the FIA is Mohammed bin Salam, who took over from Jean Tate in 2021.
00:20:52
Speaker
His four-year term was up at the end of 2025, and a number of people had announced there were rumors that other people were going to run against him.
00:21:06
Speaker
There were actually a couple of people who did come forward to say, I'm going to run against him.
00:21:11
Speaker
In the end, he ran unopposed.
00:21:17
Speaker
So even the people that said, I'm going to run against you, never actually ran.
00:21:22
Speaker
And everybody was like, huh, that's kind of weird.
00:21:24
Speaker
I mean, again, it's corruption.
00:21:25
Speaker
It's paying people off.
00:21:26
Speaker
It's whatever.
00:21:27
Speaker
But here's the rule that the election rule that tripped them up.
00:21:33
Speaker
All candidates, to stand for election, all candidates must have at least one representative from each of the regions within the world to support their candidacy.
00:21:45
Speaker
So even to make it to the ballot, you have to have one of the delegates from North America, one of the delegates from South America, one of the delegates from Europe, et cetera.
00:21:58
Speaker
Here's something funny.
00:22:00
Speaker
Dwayne, do you know how many delegates South America has in its entirety?
00:22:07
Speaker
Is there just one?
00:22:09
Speaker
One.
00:22:11
Speaker
There is one delegate in South America who, interestingly enough, supported the current president.
00:22:21
Speaker
Therefore, no one else could run, and he got to run on a post.
00:22:29
Speaker
So what you're telling me here is that there's no racing in F1 elections either.
00:22:37
Speaker
Exactly.
00:22:39
Speaker
They're as exciting as F1 races.
00:22:42
Speaker
Well, we know who the winner is going to be before this thing even starts.
00:22:45
Speaker
Cool.
00:22:46
Speaker
Cool.
00:22:47
Speaker
At least they're on brand.
00:22:50
Speaker
They're nothing if not consistent.
00:22:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:54
Speaker
We just need these rules for the sanctity of the election.
00:22:58
Speaker
Aw.
00:22:59
Speaker
Please don't tell anybody else that you can do that.
00:23:02
Speaker
Anyway, so there's my end of the week.
00:23:05
Speaker
Election rules for motorsports governance.
00:23:09
Speaker
How about you?
00:23:09
Speaker
What did you bring?
00:23:10
Speaker
It's a strong contender.
00:23:13
Speaker
So did you see the match that was played in the World Tennis Tour last week?
Wildcard Player's Poor Performance
00:23:22
Speaker
This isn't the one-point slam, is it?
00:23:25
Speaker
Are you talking about something else?
00:23:28
Speaker
No, I'm talking about the 21-year-old Egyptian wildcard playing in her first professional match, lost 6-0 and double faulted 24 times.
00:23:41
Speaker
Oof.
00:23:44
Speaker
Okay, that's a lot.
00:23:48
Speaker
This is like AAA tennis.
00:23:50
Speaker
This is the Women's World Tennis Tour.
00:23:54
Speaker
The WTT is one step below the WTA Tour.
00:24:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:01
Speaker
She won a grand total of three points the entire match.
00:24:10
Speaker
Two of them came from her opponent's double faults.
00:24:14
Speaker
And on the third, she returned to serve and the German opponent, perhaps not expected to have to hit a rally ball at all, missed a regulation forehand long.
00:24:27
Speaker
Like, oh my God, now what?
00:24:30
Speaker
Yeah, double faulted.
00:24:32
Speaker
Oh, excuse me.
00:24:32
Speaker
Double faulted on 20 of her 24 service points, was barely able to return serve.
00:24:40
Speaker
All requests for interviews were declined.
00:24:43
Speaker
In a statement sent to The Athletic on Thursday, Tennis Kenya, which organized the tournament, said that Avocator received, Avocator was the player, received a wild card following a short notice withdrawal by the originally awarded main draw wild card recipient.
00:25:03
Speaker
So they had to put somebody in there to fill out the field?
00:25:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:11
Speaker
The match lasted a grand total of 37 minutes and would have been even shorter if not for the time that Shadle spent retrieving balls that Abdelkader had missed or failed to knock back over the net when points finished.
00:25:25
Speaker
Because there are no ball kids at this level.
00:25:29
Speaker
Here's the thing.
00:25:30
Speaker
She competed.
00:25:32
Speaker
I mean, she was there.
00:25:33
Speaker
She was there.
00:25:34
Speaker
You know, half of governing is just showing up.
00:25:37
Speaker
Quote, in hindsight, Tennis Kenya acknowledges that this wild card should not have been granted given the level.
00:25:44
Speaker
The Federation has taken note of this experience and will ensure that such an extremely rare occurrence never happens again.
00:25:51
Speaker
I can pretty much guarantee that it's going to happen again.
00:25:55
Speaker
This is why real fans show up to tennis tournaments.
00:25:59
Speaker
Any sport, you show up with the equipment, right?
00:26:03
Speaker
Just in case.
00:26:04
Speaker
Just in case.
00:26:05
Speaker
Five minutes before the match, they make an announcement.
00:26:07
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, we've had a withdrawal.
00:26:10
Speaker
Is anyone here a tennis player?
00:26:12
Speaker
Why, yes.
00:26:13
Speaker
I brought my racket.
00:26:15
Speaker
That's why I take my glove to a baseball game.
00:26:18
Speaker
I mean, just in case.
00:26:21
Speaker
Just in case.
00:26:22
Speaker
Also to protect myself and others around me from being hit in the face.
00:26:28
Speaker
That's actually number one.
00:26:30
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:30
Speaker
And two and three.
00:26:32
Speaker
Maybe get a Souvenirs four and then maybe get a call up to the majors.
00:26:37
Speaker
By the way, because I thought it was the one-point slam, and you're like, no, no, no.
00:26:41
Speaker
So I don't know if you heard about this.
00:26:43
Speaker
The Australian Open for the second year in a row, this is not an idiot, but this is the flip side of this.
00:26:48
Speaker
To try something new, the Australian Open for the second year in a row has done the one-point slam.
00:26:56
Speaker
So basically, you get men's, women's players, professionals.
00:27:00
Speaker
You bring in some amateurs who want some regional stuff, and you put them all together, and here's what you do.
00:27:09
Speaker
You rock, paper, scissors to see who serves.
00:27:13
Speaker
One point, winner advances in the bracket.
00:27:18
Speaker
That's it.
00:27:20
Speaker
So everybody's just hanging around.
00:27:22
Speaker
Yep.
00:27:23
Speaker
Pros goes out.
00:27:24
Speaker
Winner.
00:27:26
Speaker
Winner keeps the court.
00:27:27
Speaker
No, I think then they move on to the next bracket.
00:27:30
Speaker
Right.
00:27:30
Speaker
And so, yeah.
00:27:33
Speaker
So, yeah, I think I think the pros have only one serve.
00:27:37
Speaker
And if you default, if you fault on this, if you fault on your one serve, you're out.
00:27:43
Speaker
Amateurs get amateurs get both.
00:27:45
Speaker
We get both.
00:27:47
Speaker
Or maybe that professional who needs both.
00:27:49
Speaker
Maybe she should get that as well.
00:27:51
Speaker
But anyway, yeah, 48 players contested it.
00:27:58
Speaker
And yeah, I think it was won by... Yeah, I think it was... Who was it won by?
00:28:06
Speaker
If you say Andre Agassi, I'm going to...
00:28:10
Speaker
uh no i think it was one uh it was won by a woman from taipei she took out two like i think she took out alcaraz and sinner wow apparently if you only have to win one point the pros can happen you never on any given point so anyway that's not the idiot
00:28:34
Speaker
On the other hand, I think, I bet you that 48-player tournament lasted maybe longer than the 37-minute 6-0, 6-0 thing.
00:28:45
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:47
Speaker
You know, I know at the end of the toddies, we said, no G, no space, no sports.
00:28:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:53
Speaker
And then we immediately had both of our idiots this week be sports.
00:28:57
Speaker
Sorry, Lisa.
00:28:59
Speaker
Yeah, well, it's a new year.
00:29:01
Speaker
Counter-resets.
00:29:03
Speaker
Do you have any travel stories?
00:29:05
Speaker
I do.
00:29:05
Speaker
I had two travel stories.
00:29:10
Speaker
I'm not going to waste it this early in the year.
00:29:14
Speaker
It's like an F-bomb in a PG-13 movie.
00:29:17
Speaker
You got to pick your spot, man.
00:29:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:21
Speaker
So flying home from...
00:29:26
Speaker
uh, California after the company meeting that we had, I flew a legion for the, maybe the first time ever.
Flying with Allegiant: A Humorous Take
00:29:34
Speaker
And you're here to talk about it.
00:29:36
Speaker
I am here to tell the story.
00:29:37
Speaker
I lived to tell the story and I was not sitting in the exit row, but I was one seat behind the exit row.
00:29:46
Speaker
You were exit row adjacent.
00:29:48
Speaker
I was, she gave very clear verbal instructions.
00:29:54
Speaker
That if you have to remove the door, you throw it out the opening.
00:29:59
Speaker
Now, she didn't say Chuck.
00:30:02
Speaker
Okay, yeah.
00:30:02
Speaker
But we all know that's what's going to happen.
00:30:04
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:30:05
Speaker
That's...
00:30:08
Speaker
But mostly it's, are you willing and able to assist?
00:30:11
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:30:13
Speaker
Please read the card and they move on.
00:30:15
Speaker
She gave very, very specific instructions on how to, it was, it was very entertaining.
00:30:21
Speaker
And I'm just watching this.
00:30:23
Speaker
I'm only half listening because I had my new AirPods in, which meant I couldn't hear anything, which was fantastic.
00:30:29
Speaker
But anyway, so there was that.
00:30:32
Speaker
Also, you're not sitting in the exit row.
00:30:33
Speaker
So you're like, I'm not responsible for anybody's safety.
00:30:36
Speaker
Yep.
00:30:38
Speaker
I can just elbow the extra people out of the way and go diving out because not my job.
00:30:42
Speaker
I didn't have to say anything.
00:30:44
Speaker
After they throw the door clear of the plane.
00:30:46
Speaker
Right.
00:30:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:47
Speaker
So, so much like porta potties pause, then exit.
00:30:53
Speaker
Uh, and then when I was in the airport,
00:31:00
Speaker
In John Wayne Airport, I saw a guy wearing a shirt.
00:31:07
Speaker
Todd, it is now prop time.
00:31:09
Speaker
Will you please open the bag that I sent you?
00:31:14
Speaker
Just to let everybody know, last week, Dwayne asked for the new address of the house, and this afternoon, a UPS package was delivered.
00:31:22
Speaker
I retrieved it right before we began recording.
00:31:26
Speaker
By the way... I said, I would need this.
00:31:29
Speaker
By the way, remind me to revisit your addresses.
00:31:35
Speaker
Foldy work.
00:31:36
Speaker
Is it full of headwind and regret?
00:31:40
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:41
Speaker
I'm doing...
00:31:43
Speaker
Oh, Foley work.
00:31:45
Speaker
If it wasn't real, could I do this?
00:31:49
Speaker
Already it's a Brixton shirt.
00:31:53
Speaker
Are you familiar with this brand?
00:31:56
Speaker
I am not.
00:31:57
Speaker
I was not either.
00:31:58
Speaker
And this guy was wearing this shirt.
00:32:01
Speaker
And Todd, what does it say?
00:32:03
Speaker
Brixton supply trademark.
00:32:08
Speaker
I'm now wondering if our dog, do I have a problem?
00:32:11
Speaker
Do I have a legal problem?
00:32:12
Speaker
Am I going to get a cease and desist?
00:32:14
Speaker
Is she going to get a cease and desist?
00:32:16
Speaker
I don't know, but I'm walking along behind this guy wearing this Brixton Supply shirt, and I'm thinking that's what Todd does every night at 5 o'clock, Brixton Supply.
00:32:31
Speaker
She's a very small Pomeranian.
00:32:34
Speaker
And early on in her life with us, she wouldn't want to go to bed.
00:32:40
Speaker
She sleeps in a crate at night.
00:32:41
Speaker
And so I would have to go get her and then pick her up and take her in and put her in the crate because she wouldn't do that herself.
00:32:48
Speaker
She now does that.
00:32:49
Speaker
But early on, we referred to it as, oh, look, Brixton has staff.
00:32:59
Speaker
I don't walk to bed.
00:33:01
Speaker
My staff brings me.
00:33:04
Speaker
Well, thank you.
00:33:04
Speaker
Look at that.
00:33:05
Speaker
Brixton supply.
00:33:07
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:33:10
Speaker
I thought you needed that.
00:33:13
Speaker
So you sent me your address.
00:33:15
Speaker
Yes.
00:33:15
Speaker
For the new location.
00:33:18
Speaker
Yes.
00:33:19
Speaker
And I immediately went to go pop it into my contacts in Apple.
00:33:24
Speaker
Not only do I have the address for the undisclosed.
00:33:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:34
Speaker
I have the new address now.
00:33:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:36
Speaker
I have the Reno, Nevada address.
00:33:39
Speaker
Stay saved in there.
00:33:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:41
Speaker
I also have P.O.
00:33:43
Speaker
Box one Ames, Iowa five zero zero one zero.
00:33:48
Speaker
Why do I have this?
00:33:52
Speaker
Well, I'm unclear.
00:33:52
Speaker
That is also still in my Amazon account.
00:33:55
Speaker
That was my, I did, I did have PO box one in Ames, Iowa.
00:34:00
Speaker
When I lived, when I lived in Ames the second time when I worked, when I was there as a professional, I went in, I went in to get a, I said, Hey, I need a PO box because I figured I was renting, I was renting an apartment and I figured, you know, I'd probably be moving around a couple of times.
00:34:16
Speaker
So why not just get a PO box?
00:34:18
Speaker
And I said, I went in there and I said, Hey, I need a PO box.
00:34:21
Speaker
And they said, Oh yeah, we can get you one.
00:34:22
Speaker
And I said, great, whichever you got.
00:34:24
Speaker
And he's like, no, we can get you one.
00:34:26
Speaker
And so for five and a half years, uh, 95 to 2001, um, I, I had PO box one Ames, Iowa.
00:34:38
Speaker
That's impressive.
00:34:40
Speaker
Yes, you it's probably safe for you to delete that one now.
00:34:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:44
Speaker
I had the odds of me getting that one back or, or not, or not yet likely.
00:34:48
Speaker
I obviously knew that at some point, but that was not a piece of knowledge that I felt that I needed to retain until I started to stuff.
00:34:56
Speaker
I'm like, Holy cow.
00:34:58
Speaker
How did you appeal box one?
00:35:00
Speaker
That was impressive.
00:35:01
Speaker
Thank you.
00:35:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:04
Speaker
It was great.
00:35:05
Speaker
Very easy for everybody to send me junk mail.
00:35:08
Speaker
I bet.
00:35:10
Speaker
It's almost if you had a stupid number for a home telephone number.
00:35:13
Speaker
Four, three, two, one.
00:35:18
Speaker
Hey, hey, that's the lock screen on my phone.
00:35:20
Speaker
Stop giving that away.
00:35:25
Speaker
And my luggage.
00:35:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:28
Speaker
That's so much safer than one, two, three, four.
00:35:30
Speaker
Damn it.
00:35:31
Speaker
Now I need to change mine.
00:35:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:34
Speaker
Have you watched anything lately?
00:35:36
Speaker
We finished watching the diplomat and it's only eight episodes, but you know, we, we were watching it.
00:35:41
Speaker
Then there was a pause for a little bit.
00:35:43
Speaker
Boy, that's a good show.
00:35:46
Speaker
And, and can I just say I'm, I'm now under the impression that Bradley Whitford is, is just an American treasure.
00:35:55
Speaker
Amen brother.
00:35:56
Speaker
When he first showed up, I was like, Oh, this is just West wing stunt casting.
00:36:00
Speaker
And it is West wing stunt casting.
00:36:01
Speaker
Totally understand that.
00:36:03
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:36:04
Speaker
And yet I'm like, wow, this is a character.
00:36:08
Speaker
And, and, and he knows how to, this is not something that we've seen him before.
00:36:14
Speaker
And this is great.
00:36:16
Speaker
So now we just have to wait.
00:36:18
Speaker
Now we just have to wait for the next season.
00:36:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:21
Speaker
whitford leans into this and you could tell he was really enjoying it you know here's the vibe that i got from him in the i'm gonna lean into it i'm gonna enjoy this for other for different reasons but it kind of gave me uh what we see in slow horses right uh
00:36:44
Speaker
I'm at the point in my career.
00:36:46
Speaker
I can do whatever I want to.
00:36:47
Speaker
And you know what I want to do?
00:36:48
Speaker
I want to sit here on the couch and just like make fun of people like this is awesome.
00:36:52
Speaker
So how about you?
00:36:56
Speaker
What have you been watching?
00:36:58
Speaker
I, I was in between things.
00:37:00
Speaker
So Amy and I are rewatching the West wing again.
00:37:03
Speaker
We're in the middle of season four.
00:37:06
Speaker
So when I went on this trip to California, I'm like, I don't know.
00:37:09
Speaker
And I'm just kind of scrolling through.
00:37:12
Speaker
So I downloaded all of season one of Brockmire Hank Azaria.
00:37:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:17
Speaker
Announcer, right?
00:37:18
Speaker
Yep.
00:37:19
Speaker
Baseball announcer who.
00:37:23
Speaker
Yes, has a meltdown live on air in the box.
00:37:28
Speaker
If you have done, you know what?
00:37:30
Speaker
You don't need to watch seasons two, three and four.
00:37:33
Speaker
They're whatever.
00:37:34
Speaker
I'm I don't know that I'm even going to rewatch seasons two, three and four.
00:37:37
Speaker
But season one with Amanda Peet is just.
00:37:42
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:37:44
Speaker
Beautiful television.
00:37:46
Speaker
Absolutely hilarious.
00:37:47
Speaker
Azaria just nails this character.
00:37:49
Speaker
And I know it's now seven years old or whatever it was.
00:37:53
Speaker
It was pre-COVID.
00:37:55
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:37:57
Speaker
Absolutely fantastic.
00:38:01
Speaker
the all, all seasons and all episodes of the Drew Carey show have dropped on YouTube.
00:38:11
Speaker
So I, I don't know why, but I started rewatching the Drew Carey show because it got fed to me on my YouTube algorithm because it thought I would like it.
00:38:23
Speaker
I do slowly working my way through that.
00:38:28
Speaker
And then when we're done taping tonight, I,
00:38:31
Speaker
We'll go watch episode two of The Pit, which Lisa is probably watching right now while you're taping, is my guess.
00:38:39
Speaker
It's entirely possible.
00:38:40
Speaker
Yes.
00:38:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:38:42
Speaker
Hey, we're done recording early.
00:38:43
Speaker
Can you guys take 10 more minutes?
00:38:45
Speaker
Sure.
00:38:45
Speaker
Sure.
00:38:45
Speaker
Yep.
00:38:49
Speaker
Uh, yep.
00:38:50
Speaker
Season two of the pit on HBO.
00:38:51
Speaker
Uh, that is absolutely what we're watching and what I'm recommending.
00:38:55
Speaker
Do not wait.
00:38:56
Speaker
Do not, do not wait for it to be done and go binge it.
00:38:59
Speaker
Watch it now.
00:39:00
Speaker
Watch it.
00:39:01
Speaker
Just watch it.
00:39:02
Speaker
It's so good.
00:39:04
Speaker
What did we learn this week?
00:39:06
Speaker
Do you, do you want to go?
00:39:06
Speaker
Do you want me to go?
00:39:08
Speaker
You know what?
00:39:08
Speaker
I'll, I'll go and then I'll, I'll give you some room.
00:39:14
Speaker
So, so, so the new house that we bought is 30 years old.
00:39:19
Speaker
So, you know, not bad, but you know, 30 old house, it's got some things.
00:39:25
Speaker
New to you.
00:39:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:26
Speaker
And, but, but there's lots of projects, right.
00:39:29
Speaker
To, to, to do things with the house, including, you know, a lot of cosmetic stuff.
00:39:34
Speaker
Weren't a fan of all of the interior door handles, the color and the shape and everything's like, you know what?
00:39:39
Speaker
We can swap out door handles, right?
00:39:41
Speaker
Like that's a quick win.
00:39:42
Speaker
Yep.
00:39:44
Speaker
Makes a big difference.
00:39:46
Speaker
It's got toggle switches and we'd prefer the Decora ones and swap out some light switches.
00:39:54
Speaker
Do you turn off the electricity before you do that?
00:39:57
Speaker
I was going to say, sometimes we even turn off the electricity because we're not nuts.
00:40:00
Speaker
And along with that, putting in some smart switches so we can tell, hey, dingus, to turn on and off stuff.
00:40:08
Speaker
And we're pretty used to that at the other house.
00:40:11
Speaker
So anyway, I started doing all my projects after we move in.
00:40:15
Speaker
Here's what I found.
00:40:17
Speaker
Every project I'm doing takes at least 10 times longer because the house just isn't the way that you expect it.
00:40:25
Speaker
Hey, I'm going to go, I'm going to go change out this light, this light switch and I'm going to put in a smart switch.
00:40:32
Speaker
Huh?
00:40:33
Speaker
There's, there's no neutral wire.
00:40:35
Speaker
There's no, yeah, there's no, the smart switch needs a neutral wire and I got to return this one and I got to go buy some other ones.
00:40:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:43
Speaker
Where is the ground wire?
00:40:45
Speaker
Is there even a ground wire in here?
00:40:47
Speaker
Okay, whatever.
00:40:47
Speaker
Here's the fun one.
00:40:51
Speaker
went to, uh, Lisa was going to swap out all the door handles.
00:40:54
Speaker
Um, cause she's like, Hey, that's something I can do.
00:40:57
Speaker
You know, a couple here, a couple there.
00:40:58
Speaker
First two she tried, didn't work.
00:41:01
Speaker
Doesn't fit.
00:41:01
Speaker
Like what do you mean doesn't fit?
00:41:03
Speaker
So then I go, look, so Dwayne gets a number.
00:41:06
Speaker
Dwayne, do you know what the, um, the minimum standard, uh, whole diameter is for a pre-drilled interior door that all door handle sets assume that you have?
00:41:19
Speaker
Two and a quarter inches?
00:41:21
Speaker
Two and an eighth.
00:41:22
Speaker
Two and an eighth.
00:41:24
Speaker
I was close.
00:41:25
Speaker
You were close.
00:41:26
Speaker
And you were better.
00:41:27
Speaker
You were in the right.
00:41:28
Speaker
You were in the two and a quarter is perfectly fine if you have a two and an eighth door handle.
00:41:35
Speaker
Because it would fit, right?
00:41:36
Speaker
It would just.
00:41:36
Speaker
You just put it in.
00:41:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:39
Speaker
Ours?
00:41:40
Speaker
Two.
00:41:42
Speaker
Just two.
00:41:43
Speaker
Wait, what?
00:41:44
Speaker
Two inches.
00:41:46
Speaker
Two inches.
00:41:48
Speaker
So here's, here's a fun one for you.
00:41:53
Speaker
How do you take a two inch hole and make it bigger by an eighth of an inch?
00:42:01
Speaker
It's not, and keep it centered.
00:42:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:07
Speaker
So, so do you know what the trick here is?
00:42:12
Speaker
Buy a brand new house that has the right doors in it.
00:42:16
Speaker
Cause that's what we've done the last couple of times.
00:42:20
Speaker
Or option two, put the old handles back in.
00:42:25
Speaker
The new handles stayed in for a surprisingly long time until the hole saw and the door drilled the jig and all of that.
00:42:36
Speaker
Yep.
00:42:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:38
Speaker
You need the jig for the hole saw and then off you go.
00:42:42
Speaker
And it's surprisingly easy with the jig.
00:42:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:49
Speaker
But not as easy as you'd think because the jig is made of plastic and the hole saw can go right through the jig very easily.
00:42:57
Speaker
Wow.
00:42:57
Speaker
There's more plastic coming out of that than wood.
00:43:00
Speaker
That ain't right.
00:43:00
Speaker
Well, back to Home Depot.
00:43:02
Speaker
Anyway.
00:43:03
Speaker
You know what you got at that point?
00:43:05
Speaker
At that point, the jig is up.
00:43:09
Speaker
Renegade.
00:43:10
Speaker
That one I've got.
00:43:14
Speaker
Didn't help.
00:43:15
Speaker
That's not what he was asking, Todd.
00:43:16
Speaker
Anyway, so that's what I've learned is everything in this house is just going to take a longer to deal with.
00:43:23
Speaker
Now, I will say this.
00:43:25
Speaker
I'm assuming toddler 401k is listening to this at some point.
00:43:28
Speaker
How old is his house?
00:43:30
Speaker
Like 120 years old.
00:43:31
Speaker
Yes.
00:43:33
Speaker
And I'm going to get no sympathy from him.
00:43:36
Speaker
You have insulation, Todd.
00:43:39
Speaker
Don't complain.
00:43:41
Speaker
But anyway, yes, my project timeline has gotten much, much longer.
00:43:46
Speaker
Anyway, so that's what I've learned this week, last week, the week before, the week before that.
00:43:50
Speaker
I keep learning it every time I open up a cover.
00:43:54
Speaker
Well, that's something I didn't expect.
00:43:56
Speaker
How about you?
00:43:56
Speaker
What did you learn?
00:43:58
Speaker
So I have a...
00:44:00
Speaker
I have a supplier that many toddlers are familiar with.
00:44:05
Speaker
Todd, I know you're familiar with.
00:44:07
Speaker
The guy that provided the cookies for ToddCon?
00:44:10
Speaker
Yeah, your cookie guy.
00:44:12
Speaker
My cookie guy.
00:44:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:15
Speaker
My cookie guy.
00:44:15
Speaker
We did Talking to Todd Cookies.
00:44:17
Speaker
We did Thanks Eli Cookies.
00:44:20
Speaker
We did ToddCon 3 Cookies.
00:44:23
Speaker
And those of you that got to sample the cookies because you came to ToddCon or took some home or decoupaged them.
00:44:31
Speaker
Turned them into Christmas tree ornaments.
00:44:33
Speaker
In some cases, yes.
00:44:35
Speaker
All of that.
00:44:36
Speaker
Anywho.
00:44:37
Speaker
So for this kickoff meeting that we had, this company annual kickoff meeting for 2026 that we had last week,
00:44:46
Speaker
we
Pot Cookies at a Corporate Event
00:44:47
Speaker
ordered 300 cookies with the company logo on them.
00:44:51
Speaker
Let's just stick a cookie in every gift bag that we're going to give to everybody that shows up.
00:44:57
Speaker
So we're our our events team is in the office staff room stuffing bags and and eating cookies and because we knew we had plenty.
00:45:09
Speaker
And so we're we're stuffing bags and cookie and dah, dah, dah, dah.
00:45:13
Speaker
And we open the last box
00:45:17
Speaker
of cookies and it is full of the cookies we expect, but then also this.
00:45:32
Speaker
Uh, okay.
00:45:33
Speaker
Wait.
00:45:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:34
Speaker
Let me check.
00:45:35
Speaker
That is, that is a cookie, right?
00:45:37
Speaker
It is a cookie.
00:45:38
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:38
Speaker
It's a cookie.
00:45:39
Speaker
Yes.
00:45:39
Speaker
And print it on the cookie.
00:45:41
Speaker
The reason I had to ask is cause it looks like, like there's, it's like a base of a wooden table or something.
00:45:47
Speaker
I know that's not the key of, but there's like a background and then there's a rep.
00:45:52
Speaker
There is a very good replica of a hundred dollar bill.
00:45:58
Speaker
But then on top of all of that, aren't those marijuana leaves?
00:46:04
Speaker
Those are marijuana leaves.
00:46:06
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:46:07
Speaker
So there's marijuana leaves all over the $100 bill.
00:46:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:11
Speaker
And so we open the box and find four of these cookies that have marijuana leaves on them.
00:46:19
Speaker
And I'm like, huh.
00:46:22
Speaker
So I text my guy.
00:46:25
Speaker
Hey.
00:46:27
Speaker
Did you accidentally send me pot cookies?
00:46:31
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:46:33
Speaker
The response that came back was immediate.
00:46:36
Speaker
Do not eat those.
00:46:38
Speaker
Do not.
00:46:39
Speaker
Do not.
00:46:40
Speaker
They are very strong.
00:46:42
Speaker
These are they are.
00:46:43
Speaker
Do not eat those.
00:46:45
Speaker
They are very, very strong.
00:46:48
Speaker
And my response.
00:46:50
Speaker
Cool.
00:46:50
Speaker
Thanks for the hookup.
00:46:54
Speaker
About three minutes later, my phone rings and it's my cookie guy.
00:46:59
Speaker
Hey, how you doing?
00:47:01
Speaker
I'm okay.
00:47:02
Speaker
He's like, so those cookies have 100 milligrams each in each cookie.
00:47:12
Speaker
Now, if you're like me, that means nothing to you.
00:47:17
Speaker
I don't have the foggiest idea.
00:47:19
Speaker
Those of you...
00:47:21
Speaker
who are listening who may know appropriate dosages for marijuana.
00:47:28
Speaker
Ron, in no uncertain terms, told me 100 milligrams in one cookie is a lot.
00:47:35
Speaker
Like a typical dosage for someone that might just be starting out eating these is 10 milligrams.
00:47:44
Speaker
He's like, if you were to eat it, you would want to cut it into eighths.
00:47:50
Speaker
And then you might want to eat that slowly and wait 30 minutes before you took a second bite or maybe even 45 because you're not going to feel it right away.
00:48:00
Speaker
And you're just going to eat the cookie and like, oh, you're going to take a bite and go, oh, well, there's nothing there.
00:48:06
Speaker
And then you'll eat the entire cookie and that would be bad.
00:48:09
Speaker
I mean, like that would be really bad.
00:48:12
Speaker
But but it's like Ron had a a either he either had
00:48:19
Speaker
an immediate liability problem or a pang of conscience hit him
00:48:28
Speaker
During this phone call where he's explaining, yeah, you really shouldn't eat these because they are really, really strong.
00:48:34
Speaker
He's like, you know what?
00:48:36
Speaker
Is there, can I just get them?
00:48:37
Speaker
If you guys haven't eaten them, if I could just get them back.
00:48:41
Speaker
That was, it was a special batch for a friend that we did that really wasn't supposed to.
00:48:46
Speaker
We're really, I'm really, really sorry.
00:48:47
Speaker
If there's, I'm, I, I, I'm going to go down to our shop right now and I will make you 110 new cookies, cookies,
00:48:57
Speaker
that have the correct logo on them for your kickoff so that you've got those.
00:49:02
Speaker
And then if I could just pick up those four pot cookies, that would be.
00:49:07
Speaker
So about an hour later, he comes walking into the lobby of the hotel and I drug mule the cookies back out and hand them off to Ron.
00:49:21
Speaker
In the lobby.
00:49:22
Speaker
So the thing that I learned this week is 100 milligrams is a lot and 10 milligrams.
00:49:28
Speaker
I didn't learn it personally.
00:49:29
Speaker
I was informed.
00:49:31
Speaker
This wasn't, let me be clear.
00:49:32
Speaker
This wasn't, I handed off all four of the cookies, but I learned what is an appropriate dosage and what is not an appropriate dosage for a beginner cookie eater.
00:49:46
Speaker
Three things.
00:49:47
Speaker
Yes, sir.
00:49:48
Speaker
One, where I thought this was going, to be completely honest, because you took us on a ride where I thought this was going is the punchline was instead of getting the cookies, it turns out that every participant at the meeting was going to get 96 double walled tumblers that they had to take home due to a small ordering error.
00:50:07
Speaker
Okay.
00:50:09
Speaker
That's where I... That's an inside joke and that's damn hilarious.
00:50:13
Speaker
That's funny.
00:50:13
Speaker
Thank you.
00:50:14
Speaker
Yes.
00:50:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:50:15
Speaker
Number two, I am now wondering... I mean, it's funny.
00:50:21
Speaker
Like, oh, you have a cookie guy.
00:50:23
Speaker
You got a hookup.
00:50:24
Speaker
Apparently you do.
00:50:26
Speaker
So now what I'm wondering is...
00:50:28
Speaker
Is the pot cookies the side business and the corporate cookies are the main business or is the corporate cookies the cover business?
00:50:40
Speaker
for where the real money is.
00:50:41
Speaker
Okay, so I'm just, I'm curious as to what the business looks like here.
00:50:47
Speaker
Now, so am I. I had not gone there, but now I really am curious.
00:50:50
Speaker
Because here's the thing.
00:50:52
Speaker
Oh, this is just a really strong batch.
00:50:53
Speaker
So here's a strong batch that we did for a friend.
00:50:56
Speaker
Okay, but he knew a lot about it and he didn't just do a one-off batch.
00:51:00
Speaker
You're not a cookie maker who says, oh, hey, I can print your logo on it.
00:51:05
Speaker
I can print your corporate logo on it.
00:51:06
Speaker
I can put your picture on it.
00:51:08
Speaker
I could also make incredibly strong pot cookies.
00:51:12
Speaker
I'm sure.
00:51:13
Speaker
I mean, I'm told I could.
00:51:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:14
Speaker
So that's, that's second.
00:51:15
Speaker
I'm curious about his business and which one is the front and which one's in the back.
00:51:19
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:21
Speaker
And then number three, the entire time, have you watched the entire first season of the studio?
00:51:27
Speaker
I have not gotten all the way through it.
00:51:30
Speaker
Yes.
00:51:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:32
Speaker
So there is, there's an episode, I believe it is the second to last episode that Matt, who is played by Seth Rogen, gets some shrooms and is unclear about the dosage of them and miscalculates the dosage.
00:51:55
Speaker
Oops.
00:51:56
Speaker
And I will tell you this, I am pretty sure his dealer tells him there's an eighth in these.
00:52:03
Speaker
And he assumes what an eighth is.
00:52:05
Speaker
And an eighth is not that eighth.
00:52:07
Speaker
What you just described, actually, I'm just going to be clear, is it is literally what you just told me, other than taking them, is an episode of the studio.
00:52:17
Speaker
And it is freaking hilarious.
00:52:20
Speaker
And you now need to stop.
00:52:23
Speaker
Don't worry about the pit.
00:52:25
Speaker
watch the studio and you're going to even, you're going to enjoy this even more.
00:52:29
Speaker
So there you go.
00:52:32
Speaker
I, I, so we're
Returning Pot Cookies to Avoid Trouble
00:52:34
Speaker
in, we're, we're talking about this with our team afterwards.
00:52:41
Speaker
I was just glad he didn't ship them because I mean, they're legal in California.
00:52:46
Speaker
Yes.
00:52:47
Speaker
That's what I was thinking.
00:52:48
Speaker
I was just glad he didn't ship them to me in Iowa.
00:52:51
Speaker
Hey, Dwayne, can you mail them back?
00:52:52
Speaker
No, I don't think I can.
00:52:53
Speaker
No, I don't.
00:52:54
Speaker
I'm not even supposed to have these.
00:52:56
Speaker
My thought, though, is, hey, good news.
00:52:58
Speaker
Next time you guys have a big corporate meeting, ask the people that are leading it, is this going to be a good meeting or a bad meeting?
00:53:06
Speaker
Because here's the thing.
00:53:07
Speaker
If it's going to be a good meeting, we'll get the regular cookies.
00:53:10
Speaker
If you're concerned that this is going to be a bad meeting, I got a guy.
00:53:14
Speaker
He can help.
00:53:16
Speaker
just smooths out the edges.
00:53:31
Speaker
The music is happy boy by Kevin MacLeod.
00:53:34
Speaker
You can subscribe to our award-winning podcast.
00:53:37
Speaker
We didn't give ourselves an award for the toddies this year.
00:53:41
Speaker
We graciously allowed other people to win awards.
00:53:46
Speaker
That's fair.
00:53:47
Speaker
Because we're still award winning.
00:53:48
Speaker
On the other hand, you're right.
00:53:50
Speaker
Because this is the kind of thing I was going to say where you see like, hey, we were best in state in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025.
00:53:57
Speaker
And you're like, wait, what happened in 2023?
00:54:00
Speaker
Yeah, what happened there?
00:54:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:02
Speaker
What's even more concerning though is when you see that and it's their health awards.
00:54:06
Speaker
Hey, we were awarded the cleanest chain restaurant.
00:54:09
Speaker
And then you're like, what happened those two years?
00:54:12
Speaker
Because I was eating here.
00:54:14
Speaker
Oh yeah.
00:54:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:16
Speaker
We didn't, we didn't, nevermind.
00:54:18
Speaker
Here's the thing.
00:54:20
Speaker
If you get health awards, you either, you either, you either keep putting them up or you don't put any of them up.
00:54:25
Speaker
That's the rule.
00:54:28
Speaker
Anyway, we, we are an award-winning podcast with visiting handyman Todd Prince.

00:54:42
Speaker
You can stop by and see us at the Tuba City Home Office.
00:54:45
Speaker
Please don't do that.
00:54:47
Speaker
Thanks to our listeners, our sponsors and our contributors.
00:54:50
Speaker
We appreciate you and you can send your feedback.
00:54:56
Speaker
on this episode or any episode to feedback at talking to Todd.com Todd.
00:55:03
Speaker
You know, I was thinking, you know, earlier we were talking about, Hey, you may have spent 50 hours last year listening to us.
00:55:09
Speaker
Like, well, I could have done something better with that.
00:55:11
Speaker
You know, we keep saying that we're an education podcast.
00:55:13
Speaker
So here's my thought.
00:55:14
Speaker
Hey, Dwayne, I'm wondering if you could throw this together.
00:55:16
Speaker
I mean, I got the idea and then, you know, you just do the other 98% of the work.
00:55:21
Speaker
We're an education podcast.
00:55:23
Speaker
So let me, how about this?
00:55:26
Speaker
People could write in to TalkInto... What's our email address again?
00:55:29
Speaker
Feedback at TalkIntoTodd.com?
00:55:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:55:33
Speaker
Or text, whatever.
00:55:34
Speaker
But we should start printing up continuing education unit certificates.
00:55:41
Speaker
So...
00:55:43
Speaker
Towards what?
00:55:44
Speaker
I don't know.
00:55:45
Speaker
Like that's on you to figure out whether this meets whatever continuing education, if it's for your teacher's license or your SEC license.
00:55:55
Speaker
I don't know.
00:55:56
Speaker
All I know is nursing.
00:55:58
Speaker
Nursing, sure.
00:55:59
Speaker
Right.
00:56:00
Speaker
We can send you a certificate that says 48.5 hour continuing education units awarded to for 2025.
00:56:10
Speaker
I mean, it seems only fair.
00:56:11
Speaker
Certified.
00:56:13
Speaker
We're certifiable.
00:56:15
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:56:16
Speaker
Anyway, I think because then you're not wasting time.
00:56:20
Speaker
Hey, what are you doing?
00:56:20
Speaker
I'm just working towards getting the certificate renewed.
00:56:25
Speaker
Isn't that talking to Todd?
00:56:27
Speaker
Yeah, don't overthink it.
00:56:29
Speaker
By the way, can you go get me those cookies?
00:56:31
Speaker
No, not those.
00:56:32
Speaker
The other cookies.
00:56:33
Speaker
That's great.
00:56:33
Speaker
Helps me listen.
00:56:35
Speaker
We're clearly going to have something we need to clean up next week.
00:56:38
Speaker
Until then, we'll be back.
00:56:41
Speaker
We're here.
00:56:42
Speaker
We're talking to Todd.
00:57:15
Speaker
Guys, how many times have I told you?
00:57:18
Speaker
The stuff from the back room goes in those boxes.
00:57:21
Speaker
The stuff from the front room goes in those boxes.
00:57:23
Speaker
We should not be crossing the boxes.
00:57:28
Speaker
I just want to make sure that the cookies that we got that had the logo on them didn't have the pot in them.
00:57:37
Speaker
And unfortunately, there's no guarantee at this point.
00:57:42
Speaker
I mean, there's no guarantee, but, you know, I mean, at some point you'd probably be able to tell.
00:57:46
Speaker
Do you remember?
00:57:50
Speaker
I can't believe I'm going to go into this story.
00:57:52
Speaker
You remember when there was this whole hubbub about Halloween and, you know, somebody putting THC gummies in people in little kids' bags?
00:58:04
Speaker
Sure.
00:58:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:58:06
Speaker
Nobody's doing that.
00:58:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:58:10
Speaker
Do you know why?
00:58:11
Speaker
Because it's like $15 a bag.
00:58:14
Speaker
Nobody's doing that.
00:58:17
Speaker
Nobody in their right mind is doing it.
00:58:19
Speaker
You're not giving them away accidentally.
00:58:22
Speaker
No, you're not.
00:58:24
Speaker
My guess is we didn't get any accidental pot cookies either.
00:58:28
Speaker
Except for the ones that we accidentally got.
00:58:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:58:32
Speaker
My thought is, is you now have a pot cookie guy.
00:58:36
Speaker
And the flip side is if somebody who's buying the pot cookies is like, Hey, I want to serve them at a party.
00:58:41
Speaker
The guy says, Oh, I've got somebody that can put together an event for you.
00:58:44
Speaker
I got a guy.
00:58:45
Speaker
Let me give him a call.
00:58:47
Speaker
Hey, Dwayne.
