Collin,
Collin Funkhouser 00:05
welcome to Oh brother, a podcast where we try to figure it all out with your hosts, Brandon and Collin on this week's show, disc golf, cart guy, ahoy ahoy.
00:21
How's it going? Oh, okay. How are you?
Speaker 1 00:25
Oh, oh no, I'm I'm okay. I'm good. I Oh no, I'm fine, okay. I am doing a brand new recording setup, so I apologize in my so packing for a trip for five days is fine. I also have to bring recording equipment to record up to three people for conversations. Oh, good thing. You have to micro. Oh, well, I do have, I do have two mic I brought three microphones because I do have three of those.
Speaker 2 01:01
Aha, I only to fit nicely in the case, only.
Speaker 1 01:04
Well, unfortunate, unfortunately, the Apache 4800 all purpose carrying case is not, is not carry on compliance. Yeah, I
Speaker 2 01:15
was gonna say, I don't think so. I don't think it's a little too big.
Speaker 1 01:20
I had to rejigger a lot of things. And have, we have a little roll, you should roll them in towels. It's fine, my T shirts or T shirts, it's fine. But in my packing, what I didn't have space or time to do for
01:35
was headphones.
Speaker 1 01:39
So because most of the time that I'm recording things, we're just going to be like, at a table in a conference venue. You don't need headphones for that. You don't like just talk to the microphone. And Megan was like, well, but you need microphone. You need headphones to make sure that you can hear the audio quality that's coming out on the other end. And I was like, right, yeah, I totally need that. I need to remember to bring one pair of headphones with me.
02:02
Yeah, that I didn't bring.
Speaker 1 02:09
So I am currently recording to you. I'm recording into my microphone that goes into my Zoom pod track recorder, and then I'm listening to you through the audio output is via Bluetooth into my earbuds, so I don't know. I can't hear how
02:27
nice that is.
Speaker 1 02:31
Well, yeah, I can't hear how you always had and whenever we record in person, or you can just hear me only, okay, yeah, so I had to do some quick audio testing and zoom to make sure that I wasn't like too insane, and I haven't where my new settings are.
02:49
Okay, I'm sorry. So
Speaker 1 02:54
I'm all sorts of new recordings. I've never done this kind of recording setup, and honestly, it feels weird not to hear myself, but as part of this conversation,
Speaker 2 03:02
yeah, I could see how that would be quite awkward.
Speaker 1 03:10
And I will say that most people, if you're listening to this, you're going, What are you talking about? You hear yourself during a normal conversation, don't you, right? Don't you? And I will say, it's not the same. It is not the same to have it played back immediately into your ears, and to hear yourself as you are talking back to you in real time, not like in the you're going to do an announcement over a PA system in a grocery store and there's a delay, and you hear yourself like it's not that what I'm talking about, but like you hear yourself as you are being Recorded. You hear the audio quality, you hear the crackling things, you hear all that stuff, and that's just part of it. So now I don't have any
Speaker 3 03:47
of that, and I don't know what's going on. I feel lost, yeah. Plus, it like the thing that
Speaker 2 03:56
I don't know how to say this sentence, like, effectively, but like, one thing that's very helpful is that, because you have to wear headphones to hear the other person, right? At least, how this mine is set up here, like,
Speaker 3 04:07
Yeah, you can't really hear yourself talk,
Speaker 2 04:13
if it's not being played back into your ears, right? Like, yeah, because the way that you have your headphones on and stuff like, you can't hear yourself speaking, so it would be really weird. Yeah, I don't know.
04:32
Yeah, it's um,
Speaker 1 04:34
it is weird. It is awkward. And I don't know what audio is being picked up by my microphone. I don't know if I futz with this thing over here on the desk, like, is that being picked up? I don't know. I'll guess. I'll find in post,
Speaker 2 04:46
yeah, it's like, it's like, okay, so I'm not a professional. I don't claim to be a professional, but for people out there, here's what we're talking about, kind of how. Of it's like when you sing in the car with the car radio, versus if you try to sing along when you're wearing headphones, right? When you try to sing along to songs like when you're wearing headphones or earbuds, it
Speaker 3 05:14
sounds weird and it's harder to like pitch match, or, like, stay in key, right? Which is why they always, people always do the one headphone thing, right? Like, you put one back so that you can hear the input and you can hear yourself, right?
Speaker 2 05:37
So next, next time you're singing along, jamming out to whatever it is you listen to, right? That's what it's like, like when you sing in the car whenever you just like, or you're singing with all audio in the full everywhere, versus, if you're trying to sing along to a song, but you're listening to your headphones, yeah, like, it sounds weird, and it's much harder to do now, again, I'm not a professional singer, right? I'm not even a particularly good singer, but, like, it's harder to do it, right? It's, like, more difficult of a task. You have to be able to hear yourself. That's why I like the the when the people play in, like, the big places they have, like the in ear monitor thing, that's just to hear themselves. Really, a lot of it is, right, yeah, like, piped their audio back to, yeah, you're right. They're getting some of their audio, and they're getting a little bit of, like, the rest of it mixed in so they can, like, make sure that it's on beat or whatever. But like, a lot of it's themselves, because if you're playing in, like, a big arena,
Speaker 3 06:38
you can't hear you, you know, like all of the speakers are pointing
Speaker 1 06:44
away from you, you know, if you can't, yeah, and they know
06:47
what you sound like, even
Speaker 1 06:49
if they have those on stage monitors, right? Those ones at the front of the stage, those aren't good, right? Those aren't great. And you will hear many times, or you, if you watch some things, you'll see guitarists, or you'll see the singers go over and, like, stand in front of that because they're trying to see, like, get that full How am I doing? What is coming back to me? Because, if you have no feedback, you don't because, because the rest of the sound drowns you out, and especially whenever things are being mixed and re piped, like, like, through the board.
Speaker 2 07:20
Like, that's what they're doing, yeah, that's, that's why they a lot of times coming back through the monitors. They're only, they only want, like, certain things coming back because, like, the everything would be like, too much. Yeah, they don't want to hear the whole mix back at them. They need to hear, like, the guitar or, like, just whatever they need to follow, yeah. Or sometimes different monitors come the different things are coming out of it, right? And it also depends on their
Speaker 1 07:48
it depends on the song too, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 07:53
So, like, like, maybe the singer needs to be hearing one thing, but the guitar player just really wants to hear, like, the drum. That's all he wants, is just a drum so we can, like, be, you know, be in time that doesn't need anything else. Like, okay, drum, give me drums.
Speaker 1 08:09
Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, so and, yeah and so I don't have any of that. I'm flying weird here and just trusting that all things are going according to plan. Wahaha. So if I get too far away from the microphone, just just say, I'll start going, wait, what? What did you say? I'm like, so maybe, anyway, yeah,
08:35
literally
08:36
dripping out. Yeah, yeah,
08:39
Doppler effect on the Yeah, trying to,
Speaker 1 08:44
try to spruce this up here. Really stepping up our audio game, yeah, introducing some live, live sound waves, live Doppler effect, listening bought your by aural or whatever it is, binaural, yeah, binaural, like, I'm just gonna start panning left and right frantically. I think
Speaker 2 09:02
I have a setting I could make that happen, right? I'm not gonna touch anything. I don't want to, like, just hurt people, right? Like, yep, go, yeah. I'm, like, flicking buttons on the microphone, just live.
09:16
What could possibly go wrong?
09:21
Yeah, nothing, turns out,
09:24
everything. So yes, yeah, that's
Speaker 3 09:30
I've packed. I feel, I feel as though I'm like, I
Speaker 1 09:38
we were trying to get ready. We we basically had to get so much other stuff done in our live, yeah, and everything that, like, when it came down to it, Megan and I realized it's like, oh, we only gave ourselves, like, 45 real minutes today to get everything. And. And I'm gonna go ahead and say, not enough time,
Speaker 2 10:03
yeah, shocking, wow. Real shocker there to real
Speaker 1 10:07
like, sit down and ask, like, what does need to happen?
Speaker 3 10:16
Here's my real question, right? What are you going to be wearing on stage, right? Are you just going to wear the pet sitter shirt, or are
Speaker 2 10:30
we going to get, like, a polo situation, like, what's happening? Yeah. Do you need to borrow one of my bow ties, emergency bow tie? You like? Can I,
Speaker 1 10:41
you know, I gotta go first thing in the morning. So if you just meet me about 5am okay, do a little bow tie drop on the side of the road. No, I, I did, like, hold out my hand when you drive by. Like, a like the rail, like the railroad mailbags. Yes, right,
10:58
yeah. Gotta
Speaker 1 11:00
hoop it up. Gotta hoop it up. Remember kinda Exactly, yep, yep. With a little put my arm out, and then I'll just try by or whatever, hoop it up, hooping up an order.
11:12
No, I
Speaker 1 11:13
this is something that I gave me much, much consternation, because, you know, I don't have, like, I don't interact with a lot of people, and so this kind of stuff is weird.
Speaker 2 11:24
You say that, except for you interact with so many people. Sure, it's not even
11:31
funny. Fair
Speaker 2 11:33
Collins, constantly you like, pretend that you only interact with dogs. But this is false. Like, I just want to throw this back in your face right now, like you're lying.
Speaker 1 11:42
Okay, fine. So I interact with a lot of people, but not in not in conference settings, even though I do give Okay, so I guess some talks you just went
Speaker 4 11:51
to another conference. You always I think if we like Control F the word conference on our website, it would be like 70
11:59
billion. No,
Speaker 1 12:00
there's no way we could ever get that information back out. Yeah, or you could do topics anyway, yeah, there is a search feature. So I don't want to know that one.
Speaker 2 12:13
I use it myself quite a lot when I've looked at quite a lot. So like, Yeah, same, same,
Speaker 1 12:19
quite a bit. No, I, what I decided to go with was khakis and a button up short sleeve shirt is, what did
12:29
you Are you like
Speaker 2 12:33
rehashing the standard field biologist uniform like that? Kind of
12:38
bringing this out, right? So,
Speaker 1 12:41
so, I mean, it never went anywhere. For being honest, it's
Speaker 2 12:45
background, but, like, some forward facing now, like straight forward
Speaker 1 12:50
facing. So yes, it is basically, and if and and the khakis are field khakis where they've got, like, obviously, pockets and stuff, and they are khakis, duh. Yeah, they're Cardinal khakis. I respect nothing less Collin really. So they're perfect and with a short sleeve button up shirt that is kind of pattern on it, just like some blues. And is it blues? Yeah. Was funny because I said, I said, Oh, Megan, I don't know what shirt to wear. And I held up two shirts. And she goes, Collin, those are both blue. And I was like, Uh huh, yeah. And then she goes, she goes, what? She goes, what do you what do you wear? And I said, Well, I've got some khakis, or I have some shorts. And she goes, what color the shorts? And I went,
13:43
No, no. I said, okay, so they're blue. And
Speaker 1 13:48
she went, you cannot wear a blue shirt with blue.
Speaker 2 13:52
No, that's true. You cannot do that
Speaker 1 13:55
out of your Collins. And I was like, okay, sorry.
Speaker 5 13:57
So, so no, no, so you tell No, I know. Okay, so that's a lot of shorts, yeah, but
Speaker 2 14:05
which blue shirt, though? Yeah, exactly, to be fair, do I own any blue shirts also? Yes, yes.
Speaker 1 14:13
So I packed both. And yeah, yes, it is what I'm doing. But it's hard because, like, yeah, I've got my speaker set, and then it is a professional conference, so I don't want to just, like, show up, like, fluffy. So I do have some other, like, I have a I have a polo, I have a polo, and I have another button up shirt and stuff that I'm taking but, like, based around khakis and shorts and so that's what I'm doing. That's what I'm presenting in, because it's gonna be Texas. And even though you're in a conference and Conference Center, it's gonna be hot, and, oh yes, I just have to survive. I just have to survive this. So yes, that is the that is the attire. The shoes are going to be my five fingers, because I don't really have any. They don't see a need to change that. I.
15:00
Um, yeah, totally professional. I did
15:04
business casual.
Speaker 1 15:06
They're black. They're like, oh god, okay, they're black. That's fine, okay, so black, like I did fine at my other conference that I'm going to, that I'm doing at MC did? I did ask. I said, What's the dress code for this? Because it's a more like, it's a higher end one. And she was like, um, just, you know what you normally wear? And there was a long pause. And I went, Okay, but, but also, and she goes, No, I saw you at the other conference in your toe shoes, so I knew I was getting into and it's like, okay, cool, cool. I thought you got that out there.
Speaker 5 15:42
You're you know. I know precedes you. Look at that. We're all you guy. We all know what's going on. Okay, great.
15:51
I'm on the same page. Scruffy, looking right,
15:57
like, look at those shoes.
Speaker 1 15:59
I could break out the Chocos, right? I could go back to the choco like, that's been a couple years since. I still have my, my old pair. They need repaired badly. But I could just, you know, that's how I mean,
Speaker 2 16:12
you know, emceeing probably not like, super like, no running around, I don't
Speaker 1 16:19
know, like, some standing, of some clapping, right?
Speaker 2 16:27
Yeah, let's give it up for blah, blah, blah, that line.
16:30
Like, oh, no, what I
Speaker 1 16:32
did? Okay, so I am horrible with faces. I'm horrible with
16:36
they just watch a bunch of like, Arsenio Hall
Speaker 1 16:38
Show, yeah, this, yeah. This is, this is my view. So what I've done is I've printed off like little fact sheets about each of the speakers with their headshot so they can remember who they are. And because, because this is, honestly, this is what happens when we go to public events. When we go to public events, Megan six on my right side, and as we're walking around, she will turn and whisper, we know that person from the school thing that we went to. And I'd be like, Oh, cool. And she like, that's that. She'll be like, That's Karen. Her husband's name is Dave, Google
17:11
Glasses, when you have that non
Speaker 1 17:18
but I am going to this MC thing by myself, and so I have to study because I don't want to be like, I don't want to be talking to somebody and have no idea who they are, and they'd be like, yeah, Collin, you're like, introducing me in three Minutes, and you're like, cool, cool, cool.
17:36
Anyway. Sorry, but my arm in here. So what
Speaker 1 17:42
I've been doing, it's been studying and kind of trying to come up with something. And because I'm me, I have kind of come up with ways to devices. No, I'm really more focused on the jokes I could make about them before they come. Obviously,
18:01
to remember speakers by their punchlines, right?
Speaker 5 18:03
Like, oh, hey, yeah, you're a garbage bag. All right. Anyway, okay, I mean, yes,
Speaker 1 18:09
honestly, for being perfect, because there's a guy, there's a guy there. His last name is Coleman. And so my joke was going to be like, how disappointed I was that he couldn't repair my camping tent. And Megan was like, Don't say that.
18:23
Don't. Don't say that you're disappointed
Speaker 2 18:26
in the speaker. Collin, that is not really a good way to MC like, Man, that was pretty good. But you know what? It would have been better if, no, do not, if you could
18:35
repair my cooler,
18:39
all of your lanterns, bro. Like,
18:43
thanks, thanks. Another, another, people
Speaker 2 18:45
that is, like, I can only imagine how many times he's heard
Speaker 1 18:48
that. So, like, I know, so I can't do that. One clever, exactly. That was my first,
Speaker 3 18:55
the first one, yeah, you gotta go. You gotta dig here. Yeah.
Speaker 1 18:59
So my other one, coal, man, yeah, oh, man. Well, so my the other one, I don't know if you know much about the place, Franklin
19:10
Tennessee, yeah, no, not really.
Speaker 1 19:15
Franklin Tennessee is basically the suburb, like the insanely rich suburb of of Nashville and the let me see here the average home price in 2024 the average
19:33
was,
Speaker 1 19:35
hold on. I think the average sale price was something like $1.8 million Oh yeah, it's definitely
Speaker 2 19:42
not my kind of place. Yep. Don't so weird that that place exists in
19:46
Tennessee, because
Speaker 1 19:48
Nashville, right? It's all the Nashville Crazy, I know, but like anywhere
19:51
else in Tennessee,
19:52
no, yeah, it's not that.
Speaker 1 19:57
So what's funny is I. Okay, all things aside, the financial guru, whatever. Dave Ramsey, okay, so he lives in Franklin, Tennessee, okay, easy, easy, easy, easy, it's fine. One of the speakers that is there, they are also like in the financial realm, and they live in Franklin, Tennessee. And so the way I'm going to introduce them is I'm so glad they had time to come out and and and take a break from forking Dave Ramsey's yard to come over here and talk about because it's a joke about the beef, and the speaker does, does not like, did the Dave Ramsey method in like what
Speaker 2 20:39
he talks about? Guy?
Speaker 1 20:42
Somebody. It's perfect. It's a perfect setup of like, it's a little jab of like, you live in Franklin, Tennessee. We all know that. And the sign up sheets for T ping his house are in the back of the room for this Thursday, so make sure you get your name on there. Right. Anyway, Megan was also not impressed with this introduction of the speaker. So I'm really struggling here, but I am trying to study faces. Is my goal for that one. That's, that's fair, that's good, yes, yes,
Speaker 1 21:17
yeah. So we're, we're getting ready to travel, and I'm, I think I've got everything, but we're good to go. It's gonna be fun. Gonna be in San Antonio, and hot. It's still hot there, so not it's
21:33
always hot there. What do you know still?
Speaker 1 21:35
Well, it's still as hot as it was Texan
21:39
for a while. But I
Speaker 1 21:40
know, I know, I know I get to go back. So anyway, so we're excited,
21:44
but we're wrapping things up.
Speaker 1 21:48
We still have not gotten our results back from the triathlon, so I'm a little little frustrated by this. What the parks, the parts board doesn't work on dance on the weekends, right? So they, I mean, they showed up to do the event, and then we're like, we'll get to this on Monday. And I was like, okay, fair, fine.
22:05
That is, that is fire.
Speaker 1 22:06
But also, where my results, yeah, but, man, I speaking of my toe shoes, I made so many friends who were like,
22:15
Dude, your shoes.
22:20
Everywhere you go, you've just become toshu
22:23
guy, toshu guy and Megan, I guess,
Speaker 1 22:27
yeah, it's a bit more memorable and not quite so confusing, Larry guy. But of course, I was like, I was like, of course, at the triathlon, everyone's very interested in the shoes people are wearing. Well, yeah, horse, of course. So anyway it went. It was really good. It was very overwhelming. I mean, well, well, over 100 kids
Speaker 2 22:51
there, yeah. Well, you, when you said the word triathlon, I was immediately overwhelmed. Oh, by the way, this was Collin did not run a triathlon. No, we should probably make this clear. Oh, really, right? Yeah, we don't mislead anybody here. No child
Speaker 1 23:04
ran, not stealing valor here, my daughter, who's nine, did a triathlon, triathlete, officially, officially a triathlete? Well, I stood on the sidelines and cheered. Mean, that's important. But also I met like three people there that I graduated high school with that I hadn't seen since high school. And what the heck was, I don't know with your kids. It was weird. I was like, What are you? What is crazy? So I was a little thrown off
Speaker 2 23:35
by that, like, it's an extremely niche thing to be doing, like triathlon, yeah, the fact that you like, new people.
Speaker 1 23:41
I actively knew Peter, that I knew, like, on site, and they turned to me and were like, Collin, and I'm like, Why have literally not seen you in my card for you? Like, no, 20 years. Like, wow, that's uncomfortable. And, yeah, coming up about anyway, so that's depressing, but I tell me overwhelming. She was mostly excited that she got to have her arms and legs written on with her number. This is very exciting.
24:13
Clearly, the number one most
Speaker 2 24:15
important triathlete event, having grease pin, yes, on your leg, on
Speaker 1 24:22
your leg. But this going to the girl who from, like, with as soon as she could move a pen, has been drawing on herself, putting stickers and all sorts of things on her body. So she was very excited about this. She was like, Yes, this is
24:35
I found my calling. This is for me.
Speaker 1 24:40
And she got more and more in the zone, and we tried to watch as much as we could, but she was one of the first heats of the the nine year olds. And so what we were watching were some of, like, the really young kids. So it wasn't quite exactly what she would be doing, but we learned some stuff, of like, um. Um, like, Oh, also, um, yeah, it's, it's okay, like, we didn't know how the swimming would go, if it was going to be down and back, or, like, three laps, or because to meet the distance, because we, nobody I talked to at the parks, could tell me, how long is your stinking pool, right? I just do, is that not? How is that on a spec sheet somewhere that is
Speaker 2 25:22
weird, like, because, like, Well, clearly it's not Olympic sized, right? Like, okay,
Speaker 1 25:29
no, it's not olympic size. Because that's kind of a thing that people would say, Oh, we have an Olympic sized pool that
Speaker 2 25:36
is 50 meters. Yeah, right, right. Like, that is officially 50 meters. So yes, that's what they mean when they say liver size pool,
Speaker 1 25:45
yes, yes. And she had to swim 50 meters. So I was like, okay, okay, so it's not, it's not one lap. Is it two? And they were like, Well, I think it's, I'm like, Oh, okay. Well anyway, I'm done. Turns out it was two laps because it's 25 okay. Oh, that was the other thing too. That was the other thing that was confused about, because that they said it is 50 yards. And I'm like, no pool is measured in yards. I know this. Why? Why would you
26:13
what? Probably, they
Brandon 26:16
probably said 50 yards, 50 meters is enough. Yes, right? This is, and if they were doing everything else in miles, they're not going to be like, ah, you know, run a mile, swim 50 meters, right? You want to be, you know, consistent with your measuring. You know what I
Speaker 1 26:36
mean? Yes, yes. So we learned that, and we also made some last minute decisions. Of originally, she had really wanted to have her socks on when we she got out of the pool to swim, to go move into biking, but we quickly determined that we were just going to go feet right into shoes. We weren't going
26:56
to bother with socks. I mean, yeah, that's the triathlete way,
26:59
right? They don't do socks
Speaker 1 27:01
and and again, new. We're new here. They don't do lace up shoes at all. They just throw on shoes like the triathletes do. We still did lace ups.
Speaker 2 27:13
And they have Yeah, or they have the the bola closure things on their side, okay.
Speaker 1 27:19
Oh, right, yeah, yeah, like my Vibrams anyway, yeah,
Speaker 5 27:24
like the toe shoes guy, like toe shoes anyway, they're pretty cool. They're gloves for your feet.
Speaker 1 27:30
No, no, no, no, the five millimeters of padding, no, no. You really feel it is the official order. Is it? Swim, bike, run. Swim, bike, run. Okay, this
Speaker 3 27:41
was trying to remember. I was like, how, what order does this go in? And I remember, like the transitions are big, right? But I thought, from what I have seen of triathlon ing, that normally it is swim, bike, run. So I was assuming they were following that,
Speaker 2 28:03
okay, but like, because, yeah, I know that transition is a big part of triathlon.
Speaker 1 28:08
So, so again, that was where we kind of were, like, look, I don't know how this is going to go, and I could only help with the transition from the pool to the bike. Yeah, after that, there was no parents weren't supposed to help. And so had we, like, next time we'll be a lot faster. Oh yeah, obviously, yeah, right. So this first time around, we were like, Okay, let's figure this out. And this is,
Speaker 2 28:36
like, a very unique triathlon problem, the changing of the stuff,
Speaker 1 28:41
yes, oh yes, yeah. It was, it was, you know, we were kind of like, how, how are we gonna do this? So I made the determination of, so I'm, I know that it's a down and back. She's gonna swim away from me and she's gonna come to me. Also, they did heats with three other kids, and there were 34 heats, something like that. So a lot of kids, right?
29:04
Yes, yes. And
Speaker 1 29:06
they were all different age cases. They had, they did I was, like, much higher number than I was expecting. I know, I know, I know most of the most of the the kids were centered around, like, 910, 11. It went from she was in the nine to 12. They had a five to eight that very few kids were actually in. Like, very normal, yeah, yeah, that seems
Speaker 2 29:29
what those those kids parents are also triathletes. I just want you to know that I know,
Speaker 1 29:33
perfectly honest, yeah, they were just, they were just showing up randomly on a Saturday. Like, what you doing here, right? No, no, they train with them. And so I knew that we were going to go down and back, and then I was going to be helping with that transition. And I was like, Well, I don't know, like, here we go. We're going to go. And I was talking through the whole time, all the way over there to the pool, and was like, hey, remember big. Breaths. You pace yourself. You You're not racing against these two right? You are trying to put in your best time, because there were kids before you who were doing their time, and there are kids after you who are doing their time. So don't feel like you have to pace or beat these people, because that's not the point of the heat. There's just too many people to be in the field at the same time, and they have to do something with them. And should we have talked about that well before, as well of of how times are put together. Sure, you can win your heat, but you can still massively lose the the whole event, right? If there's 20 other people who are way faster than you, you just happen to be put in a slow heat, right? Like tip, whatever. So we're she knows all that we're talking over, and she's just, you know, taking everything in. And I, you know, say, hey, remember the rules? And the two rules were, go fast and have fun.
30:51
So she they
Speaker 1 30:54
blew the whistle, she dove in, and I'm watching, and I'm like, okay, man, man, wow. She's really good fit swimmer.
31:01
And then it was like, Oh, she's coming back.
Speaker 1 31:05
To me. She hit the turn and was coming back before the other kids were like, hat. They had just passed the halfway mark of the pool. And I was like,
31:17
quite unsurprising. And
Speaker 1 31:21
then I'm like, oh gosh. Like, I got good stuff ready. So I'm, like, putting the towel down. I'm getting the shoes, like, ready and done. And I'm getting, you know, getting and she jumps out. I do a quick driver feed, I throw on her, her shirt. I can tell she put in a pretty big effort for that. I don't think she was breathing very often in the pool. She was just head in.
Speaker 2 31:45
Yeah, you can tell she's kind of not so trying.
Speaker 1 31:49
Yeah, she's just kind of, she's really laboring. And I'm going, okay, like, we've got a little bit of time here. I'm going to go a little slower tying the shoes so she can recover, right? Because she just shocked her body, and she needs to capture her breath before we have to, and I'm not kidding, have to run a quarter mile to get to our bikes. A bit of an oversight. There's stationed up a hill on the other side of this thing,
32:18
like outside the
32:19
pool thing, right there,
Speaker 2 32:22
yeah, my crack or whatever. Just like, because that's yeah, the run parts, not till later. Like, right,
32:30
yeah, yep. And so I,
Speaker 1 32:34
I'm telling her breathe. I'm just in, Hey, honey, big, big breaths, Big breaths. Because she's excited, right? She's ready to go. She's anxious and like, I'm tying her shoes, and the kids aren't even back to the landing yet. And we get we get the shoes tied, and then we take off together, and I run with her up to the bike. And what was really nice is, when we had dropped off the bike, the person who was doing the bikes I knew from high school, and so I introduced her to Lillian, and we're doing all this stuff. We're doing all this stuff. And so as we're coming up, that person's still there, and she remembers where the bike is, and she actually, like, guides lil over to the bike to help show her, because there's, like, lots of bikes.
Speaker 2 33:15
I shouldn't be admitting this, right? I shouldn't be admitting that. Help.
33:18
No, there's lots of box okay.
Speaker 1 33:24
And so she she's able to go, oh, right, hey, here comes this number. Here comes this bib number. We're going over here. Gets the bike on, and you're supposed to walk the bike out to the end of the thing, to the end thing. So shortly after, I turn to Megan, and I'm talking to her, and I look over it. Here's Lillian hoofing
33:42
it on the bike, out of the bike.
Speaker 1 33:50
She was ready to go, which is fine, because it's a kid's thing, but she gets out there and she does the bike. And, you know, she's just grinning. She's super happy, and she does the bike at a pace. And then we get to the running part, and we all knew, like running is going to be tough. Meanwhile, all this is going on. The end of all the it's also running sucks. Like running, it's just really bad.
Speaker 3 34:16
Meanwhile, they paid some DJ to show up, and he is belaring Music this entire just like constant, pumped up.
Speaker 1 34:28
Wow. He's trying to wake up north Springfield, which is on the south side of Springfield. He's on the he's trying to wake up, up by oh my gosh, I'm just,
34:39
I can't even think right now, and
Speaker 1 34:47
I just anyway. So we, we went, and she did, she did the run, and she was smiling the whole time. Run was, was a struggle, like that was, and we knew that, and she knew that it was just hey, but don't push yourself too hard, like if you're hurting. It's okay. Like, just walk.
Speaker 3 35:01
It's okay. Don't, don't do anything. Anyway.
Speaker 1 35:05
She wraps up, and I realized I was like, oh, like, again, all of this seems like it's just taking forever. And I'm sure it felt like that to her as well. Of like, this is just dragging on. Like, oh my gosh, watching the running and watching everything and hearing the announcements and all this stuff. And then I look at my watch, and I'm like, Oh, well, that that took 16 minutes, okay, okay, or 17, or whatever, like, and she had a lot of fun, like she said her favorite part was the swimming. And she kept talking about the hill on the bike course. There was one little hill on the back side, like you went from where you launched. You went down on the front side, turned around, and then you kind of disappeared from view, because you were down at the bottom of the hill, and then you had to bike up the hill to come up again. And she was like, That. That stuck in her memory of all the things there it was the hill on the bike. And I was like, Yeah, you know what? That's that would too, that would meet you like to have a hill on this stinking course. So we then went and had lots of pancakes for breakfast after that. Yeah? They go, yeah, nice. That's pretty sweet. Yeah. She really enjoyed it,
36:23
and
Speaker 1 36:25
even managed to laugh. Whenever the guy who was handing out the medals, he crossed the course, you got handed the medal, the guy would said, he said, we do it again in 10. And she courses, no, yeah.
Speaker 5 36:42
And I was like, you and I need to be best friends, because that's exactly what I would be telling triathletes as they cross every single one of them. Hey, we do round two in about 15
Speaker 3 36:51
minutes coming up. You know, you're not done. Yeah. So my real question here is, sure, how
Speaker 2 37:01
did this, like, whole situation come about? Like, oh, how did,
37:06
how did she end up in a trial?
Speaker 3 37:10
Yeah, where did this plan come from? Yeah.
Speaker 1 37:15
Like, so, well, what happened was, is we were, gosh, what were we doing? We were in town, and no, no, no. We followed the parts board, and they were talking about kids events coming up. And then several months ago,
Speaker 3 37:30
go and Megan and I saw it, and both of us went, huh, huh.
Speaker 1 37:38
Like I wonder, I wonder. And so we, we kind of threw it out there. And she was like, Well, what is, what do you do? And so we talked about it, we, you know, read about it, and watched some stuff about it, and, and she went, sure, yeah, yeah, I want to do. I want to try that. And that was it. That was genuinely we were just like, I don't know, here's this thing. We think you'd be good at this, or at least you'd enjoy
38:01
it. Yeah, extremely high already. Child
Speaker 1 38:05
who just want, who just runs in circles around my house doing cartwheels, sure. Maybe, maybe you should try
38:11
this. Yeah, maybe we should point that
Speaker 5 38:14
for three different directions, three different directions. I don't know. I was sequentially, hypothetically, hypothetically, if
Speaker 1 38:21
there was a way that you could arrange such a thing. I know it sounds impossible. I know, trust me, but,
38:27
but I've been done. I hear tell.
Speaker 1 38:30
I hear tell. And she was just like, Sure. And so over the past couple months, like we'd go to the pool, and looking back, we over prepared on swimming, because we had her two, we had her swim two laps at our pool, which was a 50 meter pool. Oh, yeah. So, so she was doing 100 laps, and we weren't timing or anything. I was just trying to, I was just trying to get her use until she do the distance, right distance, can you, let's look, let's just talk about your form, and let's, how are you going to turn? Like, that's, that's, that's all I want to do. Like, it's just, it will build from there. And then she and Megan would go running. And it was kind of funny. Like, if you go from our house, you can run in one direction and hit a major road, which is half, which is a quarter mile, and then you run back to our house, which is no okay, which is, and you can do that, or you can run around our entire park that's right by our house, and that loop is exactly one mile. Ah, yeah. So we train with that, and then she just rides her bike all the time. And so that's was pretty much our prep for this. Was getting her for that and just getting her comfortable with, okay, you're gonna push but man, I'm also going to say for me, it was way more emotional than I was expecting, because I knew how hard she was working, like she was really putting in a hard effort, and to see her knowing that, like, no, she's really, it's not just like, like, there was a time. She was having fun, but you could also tell she was pushing for something like that. That definitely happened during the running time where, like, no, she's doing this to finish. And like, I can tell it's not fun right now in the second lap. Like, that's, we all know, like that, that sucks, that last and so, like, I don't know, like, I just felt really, like, as really proud of of her. Like, she just, it was very overwhelming. It was getting lots of noise and people and movement, and it was super confusing too, right? Who are you listening to? Two laps? How do you know that? How you all sorts of keeping track and, like, I can't imagine. And then she's just like, Yep, I'm gonna go out and I'm going to do this and then ask what we're having for lunch afterwards.
Speaker 2 40:43
I mean, that would be my first question. Definitely, after all that, I'd be like, where what are we eating right
Speaker 1 40:52
now? What are we eating and why is it going to be the largest thing on the menu? Like, please direct me that way. So I don't know if we have any in our future anymore, but because I asked, I was like, say, What did you would you do it again? And of course, it was like, the same day, but later in the day, and she was like, she was like, she said, maybe, um. And I was like, Okay, well, we'll, we'll ask again in about another week and see if anything. Is Nelson, see if,
Speaker 2 41:21
see if you're like, over that, or if it was like, Okay, well, so bad now that there's some distance between you and the thing, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 41:28
Or if you're like, No, I've had time to think about it,
Speaker 2 41:32
and it was a horrible 400 meters. I wanted to die like
41:38
I did. So you always
Speaker 2 41:40
Yeah. It's like that, like, yeah.
Speaker 1 41:43
So now we're waiting for the times, and we'll see. And just to show her again, it may
Speaker 2 41:50
also depend on that, right? Like, if we're doing it again, right? Like, yeah, it's like, really good. Like, are you doing again? She's like,
41:57
Yeah, absolutely, yeah. But
42:00
if it's like, Oh no, I don't
Speaker 2 42:01
know, maybe like, now I'm good, and
Speaker 1 42:06
we'll make sure to compare of like, okay, let's compare to nine year olds
42:10
and not the 12 year olds, right?
Speaker 1 42:13
Not whole other thing, like those people, those were getting scary, like, as I'm waiting there, like, the nine year olds were all grouping up together, and then you could see like the older and older kids and their parents. Because if you think, if you think that the five year olds who were doing this triathlon, if that their parents were triathletes, also talk, I also redirect you to the 12 year olds who have been doing this race since they were five. Okay, that was also scary. We were right in this middle ground of the we were, apparently around the nine or 10 year old. Is when people go, Well, I don't know Sure, this looks we'll see, like, you need something to do. Like, that's where we were,
Speaker 2 42:52
but yeah, by the time they're the upper end is pros now, like, there,
Speaker 1 42:58
oh yeah, oh yeah, where I'm like, Oh no, you were wearing, you were wearing $145 shoes. That is a bib. What a No, no no. You have a legit bib, not just a one piece swimsuit. You are. Are those is? Is that an arrow helmet? What are you doing? Yeah.
Speaker 4 43:21
Oh, no, trek, what the Yes, stop it.
Speaker 1 43:25
Yeah. Why? Why are you measuring the psi in your tires right now? Go, yeah, I'm intimidated, right? Yeah, that was so, yeah, we'll see. I don't know, but that was, that was good, and that was our, that was our big event. It's hard to believe that that was yesterday.
43:49
It's pretty nice.
Speaker 2 44:01
Yeah, well, I have a story, not a story. I have made an observation today that is the exact
Speaker 1 44:07
opposite. Oh yeah. And now for something completely
Speaker 3 44:11
I saw today, quite possibly the most insane thing I've seen in a long time, right? We went to the park rise walking time, you know, whatever, um, and I have a habit of, like, making fun of people's golf carts, you know, like, there's a
Speaker 2 44:35
lot of people driving their golf cart. They deserve it, yeah. Like, if your golf cart
Speaker 3 44:40
has like giant tires on it. Like, that's weird, right?
Speaker 2 44:49
Like, if your golf cart has like external speakers where I can hear your terrible taste in music,
Speaker 3 44:55
the old guy, like, that's weird. Okay, I have. It, stop it.
Speaker 2 45:02
Um, but you know, this is like, normal. And then they're like, they're always driving on the walking path to, like, leave me, like, get out of the way. And then they like, look at you, because you're not out of the way. But you're like, This is the park, bro golf course is over there. Shut up.
45:15
Anyway, I'm doing the right thing.
Speaker 2 45:19
Tip you over your high center mass golf cart. Just come at me, man.
Speaker 3 45:23
Anyway. So today, I saw people driving their golf carts playing Disc Golf.
45:35
No, yes, no, yeah, oh, no, I didn't disappoint us.
45:46
Yo, if there's one thing
Speaker 2 45:48
that's like less of an actual sport than golf, it's Disc Golf,
Speaker 3 45:53
disc okay, like and you mean to tell me that this short, janky disc golf hole, you need to bring out your golf cart to the City Park. Get the most ridiculous thing
46:16
illegal,
Speaker 2 46:17
that's the police comer. You know, the cops like they come around. They like do drive through to the park just to make sure everything's all copacetic and everything. If they see a person driving a golf cart willy nilly through the park on the way to play disco, those people should be arrested
46:34
immediately,
46:36
straight to jail. Yeah, I do
Brandon 46:39
not pass go. Do not collect $200 jail for you. This is, like, the most ridiculous, most Missouri thing I have ever seen. It was so bad, so embarrassed. It was like, oh my god, oh my gosh. And these people think
46:57
they're cool too. It's the worst part is, I think it's
47:00
awesome. Oh no, no,
47:03
not good.
47:04
So bad.
Speaker 3 47:08
Yeah, stared at them. It's like you have got to be kidding, right? And they had a foursome. And oh
47:26
no, they roped other people,
Brandon 47:28
and you can't schlep those around. Oh no, ever. Oh, although I have seen people out there playing disc golf, and they do have some sort of like wheeled thing they're pulling around with, I don't know how many discs a person needs to play disc golf, or what other accouterments are necessary, but like,
47:47
are there like, clubs? Like, are different? Is there
Speaker 2 47:51
like, a short disc or like a driver disc? Like, I don't know the answer this question, but like, I don't think you need a bag on wheels to play this game, let alone a golf cart.
Speaker 3 48:07
I because, I mean, I know that the courses are, are, are bigger, right? They can be right. They can
Speaker 4 48:15
be pretty spread out. Like, yeah, but like, also, this one goes over the it goes around the whole park, but it's smaller than the golf course, yeah.
Speaker 1 48:24
Like, this was, this was my really important point that was about to make it is smaller than a golf course, and you drive around all over the place, like, anyway, this just seems very like, I don't know, I don't want to say defeats the purpose, because everybody has their own reasons and whatever. But like, I don't I like, you can't you hit it right out of the park when you said, if anything is less than a sport than golf, it's disc golf, and you're taking out the one, like, really physical part of it, which was walking.
Speaker 4 48:57
People play it to like, be active, to like, walk to the different holes, and you're just like, Nah, bro, that's lame.
Speaker 1 49:05
Let me be very clear, the active part is not the throwing. If you're confused about this, yeah,
49:13
right. Like, Oh, dang. So tired now from
49:19
like, it's not in the wrist flick.
49:22
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 49:26
It was, it was most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, right? It was so bad, like, so bad,
49:35
because I was appalled, shocked,
49:39
angered, like, I just had all kinds of emotions.
Speaker 1 49:44
You I was, I was this close to to having faith in humanity again, and you took it
Speaker 2 49:50
away, discard, disc, golf, golf cart guy like, that was, I. Yeah, that's a new low that I was just I was not prepared for that. It was just so upsetting, right? My life was made slightly better, because when I walked back by the golf course, there was more people down there, and they're, like, very fancy, blinged out overpriced golf course golf carts.
Speaker 3 50:19
And this, like, very this dude, Sunday afternoon
Speaker 2 50:25
on golf course. He's probably drunk, but, like, he hit, like, the worst tee shot I've ever seen in my life. And I was like, All right, what are you doing out here? Go away. Okay.
Speaker 1 50:35
You know what, life's okay. Now, like, Okay. Well, did,
Speaker 3 50:43
like, man, just Yes, golf, golf carting. It's just the worst.
Speaker 2 50:49
Like, I don't know, I haven't seen like, other golf carts. I don't know if it's just like a my area thing, but like, all of these golf carts have like giant tires on them. Like, what are you doing? It's not like rugged out here. Okay, it's not
51:05
like, you don't need to
51:06
extreme off road golf
Speaker 2 51:08
carting like, I don't know what's happening, but it's bizarre, and I don't know,
Speaker 3 51:13
I don't know why i i see that too where I
Speaker 1 51:19
don't. I don't understand why a standard golf cart is insufficient to accomplish the task of driving on the paved area.
Brandon 51:27
And I just don't know. I don't know what I don't know. Yeah, I don't like the Yeah, just these big, like giant, oversized wheels in a golf cart seems very dumb, like, what
Speaker 1 51:41
agreed I I've yet to see. I don't know. I don't maybe, maybe you go hang out in the golf shop a little bit more.
Speaker 2 51:48
Yeah, figured out, not a golfest. So I don't really have answers for these questions. But, like,
51:55
why? What's the point? And these are, like,
Speaker 2 52:00
I don't know. They're not the club golfer. These are, like, theirs, yes, the personal golf course, yes,
Speaker 1 52:06
yeah, that they've taken home, they've modified extensively, and you're going, but, but I guess people do also have a
52:15
hobby, whatever. But, like, also,
52:18
that's weird. Just saying,
Speaker 1 52:22
it's weird. Glad you. Yeah, good for you. Look Good for you.
Speaker 2 52:26
Yeah, good for you. I hope someone's proud of you and your late stage capitalist hobby of golfing is not elite enough for you. You also have to
52:35
modify your golf. Oh,
Speaker 1 52:38
I can't modify my car anymore, because it's all modded out, and it's perfect. What else? Where else can I pour my buckets of extra cash?
52:47
I know. Come on. I saw a little,
Speaker 1 52:51
saw a little bit of that today getting gas in round dad's house, and we pulled in and we're getting gas. And about the same time, four other cars came up around us, all blaring their music at the loudest volume possible, and rattling excessively, as one does whenever you don't do this appropriately, obviously, and you're ratting all the plastic body panels on your model car. So it sounds horrible. And they did the thing that I was like, Oh, you are next level. Like, horrible. You all pulled up and you are, you don't, you don't like, you turn off your car, then you leave the accessory on, and so you are filling up your car listening to your music, or, should I say, rattles you're
Speaker 5 53:47
driving around, rattles of your body panels. You're literally driving
Speaker 1 53:51
a rattle can that is just, that's all it's doing, and you're just pumping gas like whistling past them, everything's fine.
54:04
And then one guy,
Speaker 1 54:06
apparently they weren't all together. They weren't all best buds, because one guy didn't know someone else. It was like, Yo, bro,
54:12
how many speakers you got? I see
Speaker 1 54:15
oh yes, the question everyone is asked at the gas station.
54:20
Obviously a
Speaker 1 54:22
kid in the car, and Meg was like, I didn't realize this was such the happening spot. It was like, it's, it's not we're going, we're leaving.
Speaker 2 54:31
Now, every time those kinds of things happen, I just say, Well, did it work? And they're like, she's, what are you talking about it's like, Well, are you impressed? Right now? This is to impress the ladies. Oh, yes.
54:45
She's
54:46
like, That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I'm like,
54:51
man, but they don't know
Speaker 2 54:53
that. That's the fun part. They sometimes I feel like telling them, like, bro, no one cares.
54:58
They're completely in the dark. Park.
55:02
Nobody knows.
Speaker 2 55:05
Oh, man. Oh well, yeah, yeah, let's see. What else did I do this way, other than be appalled at the park, right? The only thing I did go to a very nice, it's like a fundraiser event for, like, a local family, right? Their dad is, like, doing, like, he's got, like, cancer stuff. So it was this, like,
Speaker 3 55:26
huge, like, fundraiser thing. And it
Speaker 2 55:30
was, like, it was really interestingly organized. There been anything like this before. They just had, like, a ton of they had, like a bazillion, like, booths of things, right? Mostly food that you could, like, buy, and you just like, Okay, you bought a whole bunch of tickets, and then every booth just had like, a number of tickets. That what their thing cost. And so you could just like, that's how they were raising money, right? Bought the tickets, and then, like, the vendors got, like, some of it, and then everything else just went into the thing. So it
55:59
was, like, really cool. Oh, interesting, like, a
Speaker 2 56:01
community thing, right? And, like, it was very organized that way before, so I thought was really interesting. Like, every table just had, like, a number, like, Oh, you want these tacos, six, that's what it said. Okay, throw your tickets a little bucket. They're like, alright, here you
56:23
go. That's perfect.
Speaker 1 56:25
Well, that's neat. I mean, did they do, you know if how it went?
Speaker 2 56:28
I think it went really well because we went like, an hour after it opened, or after it started. So like, they started at like 10, and then we so it's like a family that we know right from, like, they graduated from school, like, a long time ago, but like, they, we saw the daughter outside, and she was like, yeah, there's a lot more people here than we thought would be here already. Like, we couldn't they had parking attendants, and we couldn't find a place to park and move. And we were inside, and we saw the girl's husband that he was at one of the booths, and he was like, Oh yeah, I think people are definitely selling out in a couple hours. Like, it's not. I was like, that's good, yeah, but also Yeah, oh no. Like, I know, really, I think it were really good. I never heard like, exactly, but like, I think it went really well. Oh, that's wonderful. Yeah, yeah, it was good. Yeah, it was good. And, and the best part was I got a whole bunch of my kids were there too, my students, and one of them, like, I saw me at the door, and he just got, he gave me the Oh no. I was like, hey, hey.
57:44
What do you mean? Oh no. You're gonna, oh no, come on, bro, what is this?
57:49
You're not supposed to be here. Come on, man.
57:52
We talking about, what do you mean? Oh no. What
Speaker 4 57:58
is that? I was like, three weeks of school so we're not, I don't know you. Like, yeah, still, like, come on. I mean, save that for the end of the year when you're sick of me. Come on.
Speaker 1 58:06
Okay, yeah, we just got started. You're supposed to somewhat like me,
Speaker 2 58:13
yeah, or at least say, just like, say hi and not move on, right?
58:21
Man. What the heck no
Speaker 1 58:26
that we went to a fundraiser like that one time, and I'll never forget the massive chaos that happened when they were auctioning off a cake. Okay, through auctioning off a cake, I may have told this story, maybe not. They were auctioning off cake, and the guy bought the cake for, like, again, it was for whatever. There was a good cause. And he paid, like, I want to say, like, $800 for this cake. Like, is insane. And what he decided to do was he wanted. He said, Okay, so they gave him the cake. And then to the auctioneer. They going back and forth, and then he turns and he goes, the gentleman would like to cut the cake in half and auction off the other half.
Speaker 1 59:20
There's this back and forth of, like, what do you do? What is going on? And it's, it took, like, 15 minutes for them to resolve this. And his wife is like,
Speaker 5 59:29
what are you doing? Why do you have to be like this?
59:33
It came out. He was like, Well, I want some of the cake.
Speaker 2 59:42
Just take the cake, or I just, like, literally, just take it. It's fine. I know what you're trying to do. I know you're kind of like, I mean, raise money overall. I get it right. But, like, but
Speaker 1 59:51
what people do is they say back, they give the cake back, and they auction it off again. Yeah.
Speaker 4 59:59
Not half of. It, like we can't do that, like it's been tainted now. It's got your fingers in
Speaker 1 1:00:06
it at some point, he's, he's like, this big, like, high end, like a tax cow guy. He was trying to, like, quarter the cake between families and, like,
Speaker 2 1:00:19
a guy give a piece of cake and donate the money, right, right?
Speaker 4 1:00:24
It's not me, but I actually heard it say, I want a piece of the cake. So dumb.
1:00:35
Just take all of it. Just, just, just take it, it's okay. Just, we'll accept
1:00:42
that you're just gonna eat it. All
Speaker 1 1:00:44
right, we all do. People say it wasn't auctioned off to be kept like, you just, you're gonna eat
Speaker 5 1:00:49
it, put it on a shelf, right? Like, ah, it was that cake. I was you're not making anybody angry by taking it home.
Speaker 4 1:00:56
Like, yeah, that's what you got it for. Like, it's fine.
Speaker 1 1:01:02
It was so I was so I'm I'm glad this the fundraiser you went to. Sounds like they did not have any of those incidents of people trying to auction back half
Speaker 2 1:01:12
now, there was no auction at the park, I know. Yeah, we went early because they were gonna have a bunch of food, and we just got, like, lunch. We just, like,
Speaker 3 1:01:19
went and saw a bunch of people, and then got lunch to eat nice, and then came home because
Speaker 2 1:01:25
we're like, Well, somebody's gonna really need this parking spots. We should, we should get out here. We spent all our tickets. So, yeah,
1:01:37
very nice.
1:01:42
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 1:01:44
Okay, everything else too exciting, so Yeah, except for Oh Haiku, if I catch you in that, if you are yes, your wraps,
1:01:54
wrap up for this evening. Yeah, I'm good. I
1:01:56
have, I have to get to bed early because I know
Speaker 3 1:02:00
so I'm struggling today, struggling this week, like I forgot about haiku action. Forgot was my job. And so I was like, I don't know what to write about. I don't know what to do. But then,
1:02:14
as I was making my tea before we started, it came to me, oh,
1:02:20
writing about tea boom, here we go. So
1:02:28
steam, this is skyward,
1:02:32
boiling water cascades down, steeped in peaceful calm.
1:02:40
Ah, there we go,
Speaker 1 1:02:43
You know what? And I think, I think there's fewer things are more haiku than talking about tea.
Speaker 5 1:02:52
Like you're really taking it down to like, like, true essence and form. Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 1:02:57
Like, I was like, wait a minute, my procrastination has led to accidental genius here. Because accidentally,
Speaker 4 1:03:07
this was a great accidentally, this was a great idea. Yes. Why'd it take me hundreds of haikus, especially
1:03:17
when you drink tea at every
1:03:19
recording and all the time
Speaker 2 1:03:21
my craft, right? Yeah, when in doubt, right, it's got to be tear the weather, right? Always, you know, Missouri, I always do, what about the weather? You know, always,
1:03:37
always, one later, absolutely, oh, man, well, that is perfect. That is wonderful.
Speaker 1 1:03:46
I like that very much. Perfect, perfect way to wrap up the episode.
1:03:52
Very good, except for now to tea. So
Speaker 1 1:03:56
look at that timing, perfect. Where are you talking about? You have, like, no tea from like, two, three more. Oh, I do that. Just my cup is empty right now. Okay, okay. Well, then we will bid, do I will text you about when I will be able to record next to next week, because I
Speaker 2 1:04:12
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna be all wonky, anything. So we'll figure something out. Yes, yeah, not to me, right? Not because the spoilers, that's my thing. So, like,
Speaker 1 1:04:23
yeah, yeah, no, I will. I will not be there. I will go ahead and throw this on, like, well,
1:04:31
to like, a Saturday or something, yeah,
Speaker 1 1:04:35
we'll just do that, not that day. Okay, good, well, we'll do this again soon. All right, very good. Love you. Love you too. Bye, bye, you.
