Awkward Beginnings and Room Disarray
00:00:00
Speaker
what do you want to talk about i i don't know this feels weird because we're brothers i really don't want to talk this close to my brother this is gonna sound really weird but i think your mustache is tickling your microphone deliberate they
00:00:32
Speaker
By the way, I know my room is a mess. James, I don't know- I don't know what's going on. What is that disheveled- Well, that's a blanket and then that's my laundry I need to do tomorrow. No, that looks like... It is a blanket. No, that looks like... Did you pick up a hitchhiker? like a ah there Yeah. Wow. Yeah, a hitchhiker staying with me. I've gotten so accustomed to blurring out my background when I'm on work call that I just don't care
Cleaning Habits and Restaurant Quirks
00:01:00
Speaker
anymore. so Given that background, I would blow that out for sure. Well, I don't have virtual here, but I mean, you're my brothers. You you know, I'm not a mess or a like a sloppy person, but I guess I'm a little so generally. Did you say you're not a sloppy person and or you are? Not really. This is not indicative of, am I really?
00:01:22
Speaker
i ah Look, I have to be very careful here, right? Because one who has kids calling other people out, yeah not appropriate. But I will say, you have sloppy tendencies. Yeah, yeah. I'm down with that. That's a good qualifier. When you guys did live together a couple times, so. We did. And who was much worse, James? Me. um I was much worse. Maybe you, but not but not but neither of us were sloppy. I think we're just, yeah. What's the longest that dishes soaked, let's put those in air quotes, in the sink.
00:01:58
Speaker
Not long. no actually we were we yeah We were very good about doing dishes because we just yeah we didn't want. So one of the similarities between James and I is I can't stand fruit flies. It's gross. It's weird. They get really it. So James and I don't like insects. Yes, not not for us. So cleaning dishes, I think for me is it's like a
Cultural Impressions and Travel Tales
00:02:20
Speaker
hobby. I really like to do it. I can't stand food stuck on plates. It's like one of my ex like. OK. Yeah. Now, what do you do at a restaurant if the bread plate has like some Schmeckle or some like dried cheese on it? Do you move past it or do you what's? Well, you said bread plate, right? Yeah. So like, you know, the appetizer. Yeah. Appetizer plate. But if it's a salad and it's got like some some crust on there, I'm saying, hey, look, I am not into ah you send it back.
00:02:53
Speaker
Uh, yeah, I do actually. I'm kind of weird. Yeah. So for the most part, I don't like doing that to food because I know they'll just toss it or they'll just throw it on a fresh plate and then bring the same dish back out to you. Right. Oh, sorry, sir. We didn't. It's like, okay, all right. No, that was the worst French waiter impression I've ever heard. No, that is not a French waiter. This is a French waiter. What you must understand ah when you go to a place like France and they don't like their accent being made fun of. Apparently they don't. yeah No, no. How many times have you been to France? Once. Oh, you've been to France? Yeah, yeah. How many times have you been to France? I went to France Avenue in Minneapolis, 50th and then in France. So, Nuntz is what I heard. Jeff, France, ever? No. Remember, I've only left the US, I guess, um when we went to Fiji on Australia. That's it. You went to Brazil?
00:03:54
Speaker
Oh, and Brazil. Yeah, you're right. Okay, so right. Yeah, Brazil. Sorry. Yeah, now you're reminding me, Brazil, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala. Okay, so nevermind. I have been- Yeah, wait way to play Mr. Humble. Oh, I haven't really gone anywhere, except for these nine places. It's fine though. Yeah, but we've never, I guess, maybe said a different way.
Language Learning and Roller Skating Mishaps
00:04:12
Speaker
We've never been to Europe, so it's on the list. We want to do that. so Yeah, but do you say El Salvador? when you're there? Or do you say El Salvador? I have to know. I mean, I can go either either direction. Pero jener almente pueda la en español siquiré pero hay mucho gente que va deciré es de Baboso que no sire su Jacinto. Means this dumbasses accent is not very good, more or less. So so that's what Baboso means. But it's not inappropriate, you know. So if someone calls you a Baboso, they're calling you a dumbass. Yo, sorry, Baboso.
00:04:49
Speaker
ah i miss a c i misses siiera bubble so that means That means sometimes yes, sometimes you are a dumbass. That's okay. That's okay. ah Uh, but James, you took Spanish in school, right? Three years in seventh eighth and ninth grade. So Jason, you took French, right? Unfortunately, three years. I took French you in college. Okay. Oh, in college. Yeah. Was that in Silicon Valley? yeah was actually
00:05:21
Speaker
Silicon Valley makes it come back again.
00:05:32
Speaker
The worst part about like traveling to a place like um I went to Costa Rica and so they speak Spanish natively there, but the worst part about it is that you're only there for a week and so by the time you pick up your basics, you're back on the plane home. and so James, you've reminded me of something just now. um Jason, you talked about a roller skating cutlery person before, right? Yes. A guy who was like he had sporks and was wearing plastic cutlery at the Houston Art Car Parade in 2003. The reason I was thinking about that um is, James, you said something about
00:06:11
Speaker
when you go visit a country, even if you can pick up the language fairly quickly, depending on how long you're there, you know it may
Music Memories and 80s Nostalgia
00:06:19
Speaker
not stick, right? Because you you know by the time you you you know you feel confident by the time you're leaving, but then you're leaving and so... It reminded me of, um and you guys probably had less of this, but certainly roller skating parties were a big thing when I was younger. And so I think you guys may have had those too, because we had a ah roller rink there and in ah and our town outside of Houston. Um, my issue was I don't know that I ever got roller skates. I definitely didn't get roller blades. And so I think we had like maybe the Fisher price kind of things that strap onto your shoes, you know, um, you guys probably had them too. Cause they were probably hand me downs, but I never really learned how to roller skate. And so that was problematic for a roller skating birthday party, because I would spend usually the first 15 to 20 minutes of every party on the rail.
00:07:11
Speaker
ah you know, like holding onto the rail going around slowly, right? Because I'm trying not to fall on my ass or on my face, you know, because elementary school, school generally, but, but you know, those are, those are times where you should be able to give other kids grace, but it doesn't happen. So I'd spend the first half of every party kind of along the rail. Meanwhile, other people are like, pirouetting, like they're doing the triple axel backflips. Maybe not that. Right, but they're dancing around, you know, all that stuff. And then by the end of the party, I would have enough confidence to to get away from the wall, right? And I could roller skate with with a decent amount of of skill. But here's the problem. What you may or may not know is that I didn't have a lot of friends
Podcast Ideas and Creative Debates
00:08:02
Speaker
growing up. And and James, if you could insert some
00:08:05
Speaker
Sad or something some sad tuba in the royalty-free violin royalty-free violin yes we're not paying a royalty for my sadness but i think it's yellow sounds much sadder than a violin this is oh yes insert insert sad orchestral music yeah I didn't go to enough parties where the roller skating ability would stick. yeah So it might be it might be two or three months before the next party, at which point you know I would repeat the cycle. I'd spend the first 15 to 20 minutes on the rail, holding onto it, again, watching other people spin around. so It didn't help that you were screaming at the top of your lungs the whole time you're holding onto the rail. Just, ah! Ah!
00:08:54
Speaker
ah That's great. you see yeah Is Jeff okay? Yeah, yeah. He's just getting used to the skates. he's what What happened? Well, he went forward and it stopped him. That's the break. He told him, take it easy. yeah He's screaming because he really loves new kids on the block. And the right stuff, playing it to the volume, makes him want to scream, scream at the top of his life. That and then ah probably Millie Vanilli, I'm sure. Oh, yeah. This would be late 80s, so this would be like a Debbie Gibson, Stacey Q. Could be, yeah. But I could just see Jeff saying, this isn't Fame City, this is Lane City, and like kind of not being able to stop. And that's the worst part is you can get going, but then second you have to stop, you have to like kind of strategize, well, am I going to hit the wall? Am I going to like spin out? That sort of thing.
00:09:42
Speaker
or you heard your mojo song, which was Faith by George Michael, and tears are coming down your face. You go, I guess it would be nice if I can skate real nicely. I hope not anybody sees Jeffrey skating.
00:10:02
Speaker
I don't remember crying as much as as the way you guys are retelling these stories.
00:10:19
Speaker
There is a roller skating musical called Starlight Express that had like pretty famous music from the bars. How do you know this? Hold on a minute. Let's let's time out here. OK. Yeah, go ahead, Jeff. Are you going the same direction I was? Possibly. So three years ago, three or four years ago, I'm on a business trip. And I think I was in I think it might have been Rapid City, South Dakota. And I vividly remember I woke up that morning And I'm flipping through the channels while I'm like you know getting ready um to to go into the to the office um or visit the store that I was headed to. And on VH1 Classic, they played DeBarge's Who Is Johnny? yeah And and the actual the video, and so I called James.
00:11:09
Speaker
I was, I think I called you, did I text you and then call you? But anyways, I reached out to James because I said, there's only one person that will know about, not only DeBarge, but it's also Ali Sheedy and Johnny Five, you know, and in the short circuit. And so, and James knew, I'm not saying he had the storyboards memorized, but Jason, he knew different points in the video where DeBarge would do different things. Yeah, in the in the actual music video, it's a courtroom scene if you remember, but it was intercut with scenes from the movie. So it was like he's he's not the judge, but he was like on the witness stand and then they intercut it with scenes from short circuit. Basically, the three of you listening to this right now, we need you all to look up who is Johnny by DeBarge, D-E-B-A-R-G-E. Who's Johnny?
00:12:01
Speaker
Who's Johnny? Is it yeah who's or who is WHO apostrophe? Yes. I have it on vinyl. I should know. But then in the course, like, who is Johnny? Yep. See? Yep. We all but I mean, we remember the song, which you hear it, but the fact that you know the storyboard and the courtroom scene like this is this is something else. James, I know you wanted to start out with something else to talk about. What was were you going to talk about your fanaticism of DuBarge or what's? No, I didn't have to go there. We might as well go where you wanted to go.
00:12:38
Speaker
Because we're living in James universe right now. Okay, while we're here, where else do you want us to stop along the way?
Guest Ideas and Language Humor
00:12:46
Speaker
And before I forget, the one thing I'm curious about Jeff, and I just want to know, because you're completely fluent in Spanish, is there a Spanish translation for the word spork? Or is it a sporka? Is that a word? A sporka? No. No, although there was a funny video. There was a funny video there where this'll make sense to the – so you said three listeners, right? Right. Thanks, dad. I appreciate your support. but Let's make this math simpler. If there's five listeners, is it possible that one of those five speak Spanish?
00:13:26
Speaker
Let's go with that. So this yes yeah will fall flat to the other four non-Spanish speaking listeners. But Karen showed me a video one time and it was about or ah you know a meme or something. I don't know. Again, I'm i'm i'm old. Um, so she showed me some kind of new fangled technology thing. And the video was the clip was when your cousins who are visiting from abroad want to hear a song that they've heard, but they don't speak the language. And the song was watermelon sugar. If you remember, you know, watermelon sugar. the
00:14:05
Speaker
watermelon sugar and so the meme goes it's can you play guardame le chuga okay guardame le chuga which means which means keep my lettuce or guard my lettuce and so guardame le chuga So when someone is saying, uh, watermelon sugar with a heavy accent, it sounds like they're saying what are the mela chuga? And so, uh, watch my lettuce or wash, not wash, but watch or, or keep my lettuce. So, so I don't know how to translate spork to answer your question, but I do know that in some communities, if you say watermelon sugar, people could also think that you're saying what are the mela chuga? So.
00:14:51
Speaker
watch my lettuce or protect my lettuce. but Well, there's the other one that I think you sent me Jeff was the guy making a request. He's like, s s s un reboc e tu nike. And he's he called into a radio show. And he's like, he's like, I'm trying to ask like, I i want to hear the song and goes to the whole thing. Can you please play? it And he's like, what's the song? He's like, it's a rebox or the nikes. He's like, what? And it's This is the rhythm of the night.
00:15:22
Speaker
and i Just lose it. and that's That song yeah would not have been playing at the roller rink. Yes. But Rhythm of the Night, that particular one, was that the barge also? No, the newer version is not the barge. the The rhythm of the night is actually a band called, believe it or not, Corona. So the dance remix that Jason's referring to. You're making this up. No, I'm not. Jason, can we enter James into some kind of musical trivia thing? Who knows that there's a band named Corona?
00:15:58
Speaker
But James does. um Jamie Foxx will not let James breathe, okay? He's afraid. ah Jamie Foxx has incredible music knowledge as well. And so I think that James would crush him. Same thing, you know, a lot of the musical savants ah have that ability to just have cataloging, you know, musical memory. So I think that they're trying to hold James down. ah Free James. Okay. All right, I like it.
00:16:39
Speaker
James, Jason, you mentioned or James, one of you mentioned you had a vision that was unrelated to DeBarge or Short Circuit or Johnny Five. Yeah, I've got some news. i got I got to share some news with both of you. um Okay. okay Yeah, um it's not bad news. It's good news. But I want to get your ideas on how to basically handle this. So so the last episode was 10 minutes short. And you know, okay, on average, we record for an hour, typically added it down to originally it was like 50 minutes, but then um we take too many pauses and you know, I have weird breathing habits or whatever. So
00:17:16
Speaker
I actually edited it between 40 and 50 minutes, but this last episode was 30 minutes. So we need to basically figure out this time around if we record a segment to kind of fill that gap in, but rather than just pick up like an empty segment of like, because we don't have sponsorships or anything like that. I want to run past a few ideas of basically how to fill this time and just to get your, you know, if I should go forward it or if not, the first one is right now we can just record something like that AI generated and then we can just insert a paragraph of just like, Hey, James and Jeff. So I could just type out the conversation and then in emulator or like a Robo James or Robo Jason has the podcast to kind of have the dialogue that would be empty. Okay. What do you think of that first idea?
00:18:02
Speaker
No. No. Yeah. I agree with Jason, but but just to clarify, as I say no, you're saying that AI would take whatever we've already recorded and then you would use a different AI tool to generate a script of sorts and then let AI voices. Yep. To continue the conversation to say like, hey, you know here's Jeff's personality. Give me something that Jeff would talk about. And then Jason and I would comment or something. And so so what what what problem are you trying to solve?
00:18:35
Speaker
to to just have extra time filled in basically. So it sounds like us, but it's not, it's us, but it's like close to us. So we don't have to get on the phone and re-record. It's not an AI podcast. What if they're better than us? That's my... Yeah. Oh, I'm a little fearful. yeah If Skynet takes over, we have we have made a wrong move somewhere along the way. ah so jeff So Jeff would be the voice of Whopper in war games. And then Jason, you would be Max from Flight of the Navigator. So you'd be okay. Oh, I thought you meant Mac, like Mac and me. I'm like, you didn't talk. Yeah, you didn't talk the whole time. That's suitable for me. I'm Mac. So we don't go, we don't want AI, no.
00:19:23
Speaker
ah Thumbs down on that. No, thank you. I'm appreciative of it, but not for our podcast. Yes. ah Robot or overlords. While we pray our blessings that upon taking over. Yes. You do this with kindness. We support you. Yes. We just don't support you doing our podcast. Yes. We just believe that this is beneath your abilities as our sentient beings. Yeah. Correct? I like that. Sure. Wait, are we sentient beings then? If they're the ones taking us over? I don't know. I don't know what sentient means. Me either. James, what is the word sentient? Just conscious, self like-aware of themselves, basically.
00:20:04
Speaker
Oh, I'm definitely not aware of myself. Yeah, me either. I'm a least aware person. Wait, does that mean self-aware? Is that what you're trying to say? Yeah, kind of, yeah. Okay. Oh, so Johnny Five is a sentient being. He was aware, right? Number Five is alive, yep. What did you like to be? Who is Johnny? Pepper too. Yeah. Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too? Yeah. All right. james Here's suggestion number two. I like this idea, ah not just because it covers us when the, when the podcast runs short. Yes.
Casual Banter and Personal Stories
00:20:32
Speaker
So you know how like there's a widget on YouTube that you can turn, like you could slow things down to point like 0.75, 0.5, but then you could also turn it up. So I was thinking, what if we just slowed down our conversation? So it's like, yeah it makes us sound like,
00:20:48
Speaker
It's like we've had cough medicine all day. Or we've been on little stroking lord yeah orre pulling before we start recording. just yeah hey real time Well, we can we can they call it in in the industry, so there's time stretch. that's what That would be what this is. What industry are you talking about? Yeah, that's what I was going to. That was a weird segue. The audio editing industry. Well, you know, in the industry, why did you wink at me? I didn't wink.
00:21:25
Speaker
yeah so Jason, when he says in the industry, that sounds Silicon Valley adjacent. that's not it does Why is your blanket moving in the industry? yeah My blankets move. Okay. the Hitchhiker woke up. Gary, go back to sleep. We're not done yet. Okay.
00:21:48
Speaker
Gary, Gary, you know it. So, so time stretching just stretch out stretches out the time. So it doesn't change our voices, but then there's pitch shifting, which is, I would pitch you down once or twice. So it's like, instead of me talking like this, talking like this, So it would be like a slower, but deeper, that sort of thing. So I'd sound like Buffalo Bob from... You sound like original Homer just then, actually. So you sounded like... Oh, Marge. Yeah, all of a sudden you hear Gary in the back room going, I don't know, I'm time stretch. And you're like, no, Gary, we don't. Wait, did Gary become Barney from The Simpsons? Pretty much. That was a pretty good Barney impression. Hey, no, I'm time stretch.
00:22:37
Speaker
It's only Bobcat both ways, a little bit. and Yeah, a little shades of Bobcat, okay. Shades of Bobcat. Okay, James, so so the the time stretching, pitch stretch, whatever it's called. You're not a fan of that? No, it seems insincere. like if If we're struggling to fill the content, what it likely means is that we're not as good as we think we are. True. possible, or, or frankly, we were too, we were overly ambitious with what the time we're trying to fill. So, you know, it's one of those situations where, hey, if we're good, 25 minutes in, then we just end on a high note and go there. So it sounds like a thumbs down for that one as well. Yeah, I think we just keep it the same. A better concentration of content.
00:23:34
Speaker
Is there something behind door number three? Yeah, I do. I have two more ideas, but the first one is is quick. I already don't like the fourth one. Let's just can in that one that one. That one can hang out with scary Gary in the background, okay? We don't need- You said you have two more ideas? Yeah, but I'll be quick with them. They're kind of the same, two sides two sides at same coin. So it's really like 3A and 3B if we're gonna be- So I could take our like funny things and make a musician out of like make a song out of it basically and like make a beat and like take something that Jason says funny like takes Barney impression and put a beat behind it.
00:24:15
Speaker
Oh, Jason's already shaken his head. No, that no. Is that gimmicky is super gimmicky. I mean, putting jingles associated with like, you know what I mean? Like, Hey, we're three ring brothers. They ring circus backs of us. And then you hear like, no, no, I don't want it to be. Oh man. Like that? Is that from Skyrim? What is that? Jeff, you need to talk about your larping addiction, okay? and why are You keep saying larping. i don't I kind of know what that is, but I'm not 100%. No, we totally understand. I'm actually role-playing. Yeah. Jeff, we've seen you before in Victory Park.
00:25:00
Speaker
Standing around with your cardboard sword. Live action. live That's LARPing. Oh, like from that movie role models. I like how you're playing dumb, but you don't have the soundtrack to LARPing queued up if you're. LARP. All right. So no LARPing. OK, so James, you said you want to make Jason more musical. Well, anybody more musical. So if we say or do something funny, I could turn it into a song just to kind of pad the time. It'd be a weird song, obviously, a bit like a creative narrative, like 10 minute audio play based on like pulling snippets of everything we've said.
00:25:41
Speaker
Why do we need to pad the time? Why can't we just let this be a finely concentrated get together? Or a loosely concentrated, to be honest. it doesn't yeah Or maybe said differently, a poorly concentrated. Okay. What we need is we need 10 more minutes of crap. Okay. So ah everybody in? In. James, I feel like this is your more cowbell moment and you are trying to get Jason and I to hear more cowbell, to get more cowbell. ah you She didn't bring up more cowbell. Of course. Of course. I put my pants on one leg at a time, right? what is he oh Oh, this time, I got gold records in these pads. Okay. All right. So James 3A, to be specific, was you're going to musicify, I don't know if that's a word, musicify Jason and I and your verbiage yeah somehow. So 3B would be kind of taking like
00:26:44
Speaker
one person telling a story and then just inserting like oh i agree with you or i disagree like generic comments from you me and jason so it would require that we would record so jason you have to record like a positive and a negative reaction. yeah And then I would just edit it into, like, let's say I told the story about, you know, um what I had for dinner. I know it's not the most interesting topic, but maybe it would be cool to say, oh, that's cool. So Jason, what did you think of that? And then I would insert the spot there. And then, hey, Jeff, what do you think of that? ah Again, it feels insincere. Okay.
00:27:21
Speaker
It's that yeah you're saying that to add time, we would, and I want to support you. I like this. I like the creativity. Um, it's still, I don't know that if the problem that we're trying to solve is that the episodes aren't long enough, that either means that we've run out of things to talk about, which for what it's worth is pretty disappointing. We're only 10 episodes in, I think. I got nothing. and Right, we have exhausted our feeble pea brains. But I don't think that's the case. I really like canned vegetables. Yeah. yeah ah I'm a cut green beans guy. And James goes, I'm a French style green beans guy. And Jason goes, I like the ones with onions in them.
00:28:06
Speaker
ah yeah Yeah. So, no, i I think if I'm understanding you correctly, you just want to continue to make the episodes um ah long enough ah dynamic, kind of enjoyable. You want some witty repartee between us? Is that what you're that what you're hoping to get? Yeah. And just make sure like if an episode is short, I think generally speaking, hey, like like I think Jason's thought is, hey, I spit all over myself. I don't know why I did that. I'm keeping that in.
00:28:36
Speaker
But no, jason's Jason's thought is right is, hey, if it's a good 30 minutes, I mean, that's that's fine. We don't need to always hit the 40 to 50 minute window. like if it's If it's fun conversation, um this last episode, we had to split it into two because it went an hour and 15 minutes. But yeah that was the one thing is, should you have one 75 minute episode that people not suffer through, or do you just split it into two 30 minute episodes? Split it into two 30 minutes. It's simple. yeah but then maybe give them something extra and like. So here's, here's, I think we're, we're, we're kind of dodging the subject altogether. Okay. Okay. Number one, the people listening to us now, this isn't a classroom environment. We're not going to make you sit for 40 minutes. If you get everything you'd like out of the class for the time you'd listen to us.
00:29:24
Speaker
You could just leave. You just go. We want you to come back. And if you want, just listen to my part, Jeff's part, and then you're good. You don't even have to listen to James or Jason's part. Then you'll never come back if you just listen to Jeff, right? That's unbelievable. He's just totally just, oh yeah, Jeff will see it next week. And then they slowly run out of the building. He's just like, all right, thanks. That's what happened at the roller rink many, many times. Yeah, exactly. Jeff on the podcast is wondering, circus Maximus, you're like, nobody wants to record with me, so here's 40 minutes of me.
00:30:01
Speaker
um we We are avoiding the other part, which is, ah you know, maybe we have another person join us. and Occasionally, if we if we've if we've run out of ideas, let the other person bring their ideas because what ends up happening for a person that's not part of this, you know, trifecta that the three of us have come up with is they're gonna go, I don't know, what do you want to talk about? so What do you want to talk about? You want to get like really close podcast voices? What are we talking really, really close? What do you want to talk about?
00:30:35
Speaker
I don't know. This feels weird because we're brothers. I really don't want to talk this close to my brother. Is this the same as being this close in person, but like just to the side of someone's face? like you're you're you're not You're not looking in their face. You're just to the side. The three of us are trying to talk very closely to the microphone. This is going to sound really weird, but I think your mustache is tickling your microphone, and I don't know that we'll ever be able to say that.
00:31:06
Speaker
ah hurt them I think there was some whisker interference. It's a little whiskerier around here. i Oh wow, that was terrible. I had one more thought, and this is James where I really thought you were going. because you've got quite possibly at least the Twin Cities, possibly the Midwest's largest collection of vintage and dead tech, where I was hoping that you weren't going to do is say, hey, I've got a good eight to 10 Casio and Yamaha keyboards where I can play the demo song that
00:31:58
Speaker
Or whatever the songs, you know how the keyboards all had a demo? yeah um Is that you weren't going to subject our three to five listeners, which to be honest, it's probably now two listeners. You weren't going to subject our two listeners to an extended bout of and go through your whole collection. Yeah. like a science segment Or find obscure media to record our podcast on and be like, Hey guys, we got the latest episode on mini disc. Anyone, anyone interested? Uh, by the way, if you ever want to come over, I've got a Fisher eight track player. It's going to be great. Uh, you can only skip. There's only a four tracks on the whole thing. And you're like, well, I had a coworker actually that had a Sony mini disc head unit in his car. Wow.
00:32:47
Speaker
That's obscure. The mini discs look like a little three and a half floppy, right? yeah Yes. Who had a mini disc player? I had one. Did you guys really have mini disc players? Yeah. Yeah. Is MP3 is great. um So Jason, let's talk about that idea. I know we've kind of bounced around an idea before of replacing, well, not James, but You and I feel, I feel really good about the three of our relationship, Jason, you and I, but you know, sometimes I feel like, Hey, I might just want a day off. No, no, no. I wasn't kicking you out, James. Uh, you're still, uh, you're still on the island. You're the.
00:33:31
Speaker
You're the bread to, you're the white bread to Jason's peanut butter and and wow. Oh no, no. Yeah. Let's let hold on. Let's just, let's, I don't know how this works. This is a, I don't know. It's a very interesting analogy. Should I get really close to the microphone again? Maybe Jason's microphone again. It makes me very uncomfortable. sure I can talk really quietly and talk about the peanut butter and white bread that we all talk to each other. Yeah. What if, what if we talk about, Okay. I agree. so So James, we're all complimentary to each other, right? So you're thinking, hey, bring somebody else in. And we had kind of thought about this, ah what was it, Jeff, about bringing in ah mom, but we can't do that. So I'm sorry.
00:34:19
Speaker
yeah yeah no keep it in we gone i thought you were going a different direction i thought you were saying that's why That joke is dead Jason wow odd This got dark really What I thought you were saying Jason is this is why James got Gary the hitchhiker because he intends for Gary to be our first ah what What should we call it not replacement brother? You're you're talking about ah an additional brother, right? Mm-hmm Okay, and then there were four Right. Yeah, so a replacement gary Please please Gary
00:35:08
Speaker
So I would say that a replacement sounds strange. So but to be clear, no mom, ah no Gary, the hitchhiker. yes Who do you think we should have joined us? Well, look, I think, and I think we talked about this last time, it is your and dad's birthdays coming up in a few weeks. Sure. And so what I think is, let's try it on for size by bringing dad in the mix. So I think if we If we interview dad, cause in, let me, when I say interview, um, my thought is if we are going to look for a substitute sibling of sorts, right? Like, um, uh, what did you say James or Jason? One of you said like a stunt, a stunt brother, right? Something like that sister borrowed brother.
00:35:56
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Stunt sibling, right? Some kind of of ah of of not replacement, that sounds too heavy, but an alternate, if you will. um that ah That person, I think we should interview them to some degree. So go ahead, Jason. Brother on the bench. Hmm. Okay. Brother on the bench. Sister on the... Well, you can't say sister on the side. Sister on the sidelines. Thanks. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Sidelines. Yeah, no. Sidelines. Sister. Brother on the bench. Sister. Yeah, brother on the bench or bench brother, right?
00:36:27
Speaker
or sideline sister. Yeah. Okay. Now I like that. I think that's interesting. So, so your, is your thought that if we could bring in a fourth person, then possibly we'll be like collectively like one and a half people. Yes. At least we'll cry, we'll cry laughing with, with dad. So that that's the one thing I'm probably excited about. is to to spend our birthdays together, but like also treat him, you know, the man is finally turning 50 years old. It's great. We're all excited. yeah You know, he's which way he's other than which makes my turning 45 this year problematic. like with Maybe there's a math issue there, but I got you. It was a different time.
00:37:10
Speaker
Wow. Wow. And that's the Smucker's Jelly Man last recording. After a long day in the field, I decided to go home. He was like, whoa, where is this? Where is this? Do you like your nuts extra creamy or chunky? What? Wow. Why? james Why do you always have to? I don't know what. I don't know what social. The thing I said was dirty. I'm talking about not. No, it's just not appropriate. All right. You're a grown, you're a grown man who may or may not have a hitchhiker ah in your apartment right now. If somebody say not appropriate.
00:37:54
Speaker
Gary. what we Yeah. Shut up, Gary, or else you're going back to Exit 23 or whatever. James! James, do you have the bag cleaner for the real, the real?
00:38:11
Speaker
That episode with that is definitely going over 40 minutes. There's no way we're going to get dad to it. Like, Hey dad, we need to have some semblance of segments or whatever. So wait, let's do this. Cause I know we're almost out of time today. yeah I will come up with some questions and I want you guys to come up with some questions. I think we need to vet. this person. and We can kind of try some on with dad. We can test some because in my mind, I don't think we should just be interviewing someone as a potential podcast. I don't want to say host, but certainly as a podcast partner of sorts, I want to know like, Hey, would they actually be a good, uh, what did you say, Jason sidewalk sister or sidetracked?
00:38:56
Speaker
no i said to something sideline sister or nightline sister sidewalk sister sidewalk sister this is this is railway dont don do not take that ball up the room with yeah just say i' like this We're talking about ah some pretty intense stuff today that's also very funny, but sidewalk sister we should not we can't do that we can't do that okay um sideline sister bench brother or sideline sister. Sideline sister bench brother. I think we should also consider that person in the mix just as a familial unit. Can you say familial again? Familial unit. Familial unit. Familiar unit.
00:39:46
Speaker
Guardamele Chuga.
00:39:51
Speaker
Esporca. So, there is no Spanish for spork. Well, I'll Google it later, but in the moment, I don't believe there is Spanish for spork. Why wouldn't you know that there's Spanish for spork? How often am I referencing sporks on a regular basis? And also, when am I referencing sports bilingually? I don't know. This is what it says it is.
00:40:19
Speaker
Okay. That it says, which means, which means spoon fork. That's not, but that's not a spork. That's right. That's not like it's good. Yeah, I don't think who knows. Uh, can you get, like, imagine explaining that to somebody who's never seen a spork and they go and they come bring you both and you go, no, no, you take these back. I just wanted to win the combination. What I've hoped for is the three part, where it's a spork with a knife with a serrated edge so that you can cut like a knife as well. So you can slice your cheek as you try and take a bite of that mac and cheese. Absolutely. Those banjans, pork and beans, or mac and cheese. Or beans and sausage. Just straight up. You hear Gary's about it.
00:41:12
Speaker
Is that the Vienna sausages? You're like, no, Kerry. Please leave James alone. Oh, man.
