A VERY ROUGH TRANSCRIPT OF THE EPISODE
PROVIDED BY OTTER.AI
Collin 0:04
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, many shenanigans. Ahoy!
Brandon 0:19
Ahoy! How's it
Collin 0:20
going?
Brandon 0:21
Pretty good. How are you?
Collin 0:22
I have lived, I think, about four lives since we have last spoken.
Brandon 0:26
That is a lot. One of them was at the fair. I saw, but what? What else have you? Oh my god!
Collin 0:33
No, this was a very weird, like fugue state week where not a lot of things. There was a lot of work, but like I spent a lot of time. This was one of those weeks where I spent a lot of time on Zoom, and I think that's where the like etherealness. Well, that's that's
Speaker 1 0:53
fair.
Collin 0:53
Yeah, that wasn't it wasn't a real week where I did five Zoom interviews for potential hires. I did like 10 phone interviews for potential hires. I did like a couple interview, like I that that kind of stuff, where I'm just in my little office and just talking and asking the same set of questions over and over and over again. Then like I I emerge from my office at 5o'clock at night, and just like, what is happening to me? Where am I? Where am I? What's gone? What life has been lived without me? That's fair. I also had to cram in a bunch of like employee meetings because I realized as I had fallen behind on those, so I was going well. I gotta, I gotta fit everything in anyway. So I was just talking to people. But the most fun thing that we did that was not involved in communication over the phone and or Zoom was we went to we went to a downtown bike race this week. Oh yes,
Brandon 2:01
I always forget that that's the thing that exists, and then you'll send me a picture of it. I'm like, oh yeah,
Collin 2:08
I too. They do have that. Yes, I do forget that this is a thing that occurs in the world, and then because here's here's what's really sad. I I I okay. Collin has not fact checked this. I am almost 1,000% sure that this did not fall during the fair last year, or any year, which means that when it does fall on the fair, who in the city is paying attention to this little little bike race? You know that's downtown. Yeah,
Brandon 2:41
nobody, because the fair is there.
Collin 2:43
Because the fair is there. Yeah, and I, Megan and I wish they should amend the
Brandon 2:47
course to go like through the fairgrounds. Hey guys, what's up? Just it's just really not near, but maybe not through, but like closer to
Collin 2:56
and loop. Yeah, Megan and I were talking while we were down downtown watching the the bike race and and it's so much fun. Like it starts at 3o'clock in the afternoon and it goes until nine. There are various heats with different people from different levels. It starts all the way at amateur. Then you get the pro am and then you get the true professionals, the people who are. And this is this is like a this is a USA Cycling endorsed and yeah, it's like an official
Brandon 3:23
event. Yeah, yeah, it
Collin 3:24
is an official event that people can use to advance their rankings and their stats and all that stuff.
Brandon 3:30
Yeah,
Collin 3:31
so it's a big thing, and I'm sitting there. I'm kind of like looking down the track, looking up, aka the street, and I'm looking up. Yes, I can kind of count just about everybody who's here watching this, and I'm going, "Oh, this is kind of sad, you know. Like this is such a unique event to showcase part of the town. That I mean, how many? I don't know how many towns have a downtown criterium that happens, not
Brandon 4:03
mine,
Collin 4:03
for six hours, right? Not yours, not yours. I know many towns that don't. It's very unique, and it's really fun. More people should be here. More people from town, but also I understand going to watch a bike race that you're not invested in, that you literally don't know any of the writers, and you have no connection to. That's a tall order for people. Yeah, but that's
Brandon 4:25
that's like I think that I mean I know that this year it's like at the same time as the literal state fair, so that's kind of a problem. But like normally you would think like okay if you're if you're a a city council slash chamber of commerce person you should be thinking things like, okay, large event. We need to get out the like vendor passes, right? Set up the food truck area. You know, like have like face painting over here. Like make like a thing about it. You know what I mean? And I know like. Part of it is like, oh, is that the race people's
Collin 5:05
should they be job to do
Brandon 5:07
that? Yes, but I mean, they should at least be partnering with the city more. Like the city should be like helping to get people there because you know they don't have to set up the face painting booth, but like they should encourage people to do like face painting and like muse. Like you can have like music, like live music, right? You can have like little other vendors around. You can have food trucks around, like make it like a little thing. Yes. That way, people could come and like they would have other things to do other than just like sit and like. Okay. Well, like you know what I mean. Like,
Collin 5:38
well, I will say,
Brandon 5:39
make it more eventy, right?
Collin 5:41
And it just becomes a nice place to hang out there, where where you go. Hey, it's a oh my goodness! It was a gorgeous. It was interesting. It was just so beautiful. There's a light breeze. The sun's going down. There's music playing over the radio. That they had a little like DJ guy who was playing just the most punk rock songs of all times. It was great. You should just come out and enjoy this, if nothing else. And then there's a really fun bike race going on. And yeah, you might not understand what what the preen is, and you might not understand how the laps work, but it's still fun to be out there. Yes. So this is my call. You have an
Brandon 6:24
information booth.
Speaker 2 6:25
Yes. Right. And you know
Brandon 6:26
what? How it works.
Collin 6:27
Anybody who looks vaguely psychly, you just say what's happening, and they will be so happy to tell. I mean, if
Brandon 6:34
you could even set up an area where it's like, if there was, okay, here you go. Ready. There needs to be like a pit area for the team, so the kids can come through and like look at all the bikes and look at all stuff, right? And they can like talk to the people about about that kind of thing. That'd be cool too, right? Yeah, have like a little thing there. People can like be set their bikes up, and like people can come and look at it.
Collin 6:59
You would think that this would be something that they could do, yes. So I was just a little disappointed, and Megan said the same thing. We're looking around, and she goes, "Did the city talk about this like at all? And I said, "No, probably not. No, actually, they also forgot about. They actively forgot that this was taking place. You know, okay, fine, but I just so I'm on a mission for next year to remind remind my city council that they need stuff about this because I will not let this stand. It's such a unique event. It's so much fun, and again, I don't know a single person who was in this race, I apparently one of them was from Sedalia. There you go, and I went okay, cool, great. I will cheer for that person in gray. There we go. You know, yes, got it.
Brandon 7:54
Perfect.
Collin 7:54
Yes, and we so we we watched the the amateur one that started at three. We watched that full race. Then we had to go to a Barkfest event, so my time was interrupted. Where I had to go hand out puppies to dogs at a park for an hour and a half. Then I came back and we watched. I'm really glad that we got to watch the professionals go. Yeah, that is pretty cool. That was very like bookending the night with like you know the dude who showed up again. More power to him. Of hey, you showed up and you do it in downtown crit. Like go for it. You know, just like his like his bike and you know this T-shirt and there's no kit. Heck yeah. You know, like yeah. Why not get it? Why aren't there just a group of guys? Why am I not out here just like with a friend doing this to see what this is like.
Brandon 8:41
That is a good question, Collin.
Collin 8:42
That'd be fun. And then you get to the professionals who are all sponsored, right? They are all like this is. They are they are training at altitude in the you know they are doing all this stuff and they're training with world class guys out in Colorado and that's just where the camps that they're doing, and then they're coming out doing these circuits to build their stats and get their, you know, whatever, build their HP, and and then watching them go, and it was the kids noticed it too. Of okay, hey, when they took off, wow, they're back a lot faster. That was fast.
Brandon 9:25
Yeah, significantly faster when they fly by. It's a different noise.
Collin 9:30
Yes, that was the other thing too. Just when the Peloton came by, and you can-it's on a street, and you just sit on the curb. Now you have to get your feet off of the street, otherwise they yell at you. I learned this last year. So you sit cross-legged on the little curb, but they come and it's just it is just right there, like right near your face. And when that whole peloton comes right by you, it just the whoosh, the the whoosh. Oh my gosh, words the wheel, the wheel. And whirl of the wind and the dust and everything comes pelting you across, and you're like, "This is amazing! Like ah, but that was they they noticed that because the the track is only point seven miles long, and they are hoofing around that, and and the the finish line is that the it's kind of cool because the main street from north to south, you actually go go uphill of just a just like it's it's an uphill climb, a steady uphill climb. You make the corner, and then the t here is the downhill side, right? And then they you make the bottom corner, and you make the turn. You go up this long straight straight uphill. They are going 36 miles an hour. Right whenever they're crossing that finish line. Oh yeah, yeah. That and they were the pace that they were setting for over half the race. They were just they were just sitting right at 32 miles an hour. Just shoot. So each each lap is like a minute and a half. No, a minute. How many laps did they
Brandon 11:04
do?
Collin 11:04
They did 40. I think they doing. Yeah. Yeah. And and then you know they're throwing out. So Preem is just hey whoever wins this next lap gets an extra bonus added to their
Brandon 11:17
yeah. It's like the track cycling thing kind of right. Exactly. Same kind of deal. Like it's it's
Collin 11:23
very. This was very track minded, basically high intensity with lots of sprints, lots of breakaways the entire time. The you couldn't pin like who was going to be out front each time they came back around. It was like, "Hey, we've got a new leader and and all this stuff, and we had that final sprint where they're coming up the hill towards each other. Just the you you know you watch it on TV and the way they're moving their bike, you just oh yeah to see it in person coming straight at you, you're going. You just go. And again, I've sprinted a little bit. Nothing like this, but just watching what these guys are doing with their bikes. You're going. How does that stay on the road? Yeah, very carefully. That's how. Barely is actually what. Yeah. Yeah. True. Sometimes it doesn't. That's yeah, yep. And it was a photo finish. You know, they the guy finished just milliseconds in front of the other guy, both in a full on dead sprint. So of course it was fantastic and fun. And then we we walked home and infant not didn't walk home walked to our car. We live three minutes from downtown, so I could have walked home. But that was it was very refreshing to just be out and be in a completely different atmosphere around people, and it was also just also really encouraging because this is a small group of cyclists who are at this level and doing this. They all know each other, right? They all of them know each other, so they're all if they were on the sidelines or you know if they had a mechanical issue or if they had to call out of the race, you know they're pulling over. They sit back down and they're cheering the guys back on the field, and it's just a very neat atmosphere to be around. The MC was was walking around, had a wireless microphone, had his big book of you know numbers and stats on people, and he's calling this up. It's fantastic. He was also wearing a A floor-length leopard fur jacket. Well,
Brandon 13:50
okay,
Collin 13:51
this is
Brandon 13:51
very Fifth Element. I was not expecting this right to go.
Collin 13:56
I heard the voice. You know, he's kind of like kind of sounds like a slightly goofy DJ guy, and then try to pick him out in the crowd. I'm going like
Brandon 14:05
Alton Belt. There he is. Never mind. He's wearing
Collin 14:08
the floor-like leopard print fur jacket. I think. Yep, that's him. Yeah, that'll
Brandon 14:14
do it. That'll.
Collin 14:15
You know. Yeah. That was that was a choice. So we ended up enjoying that, and then yesterday was was the fair, and that's just always an ethereal, weird world because nothing is real. How much does except for
Brandon 14:32
the cotton candy? Except for the
Collin 14:33
cotton candy, and and just like whatever price you think something should be, just it's not, and you just have to roll with it. That's true. You just how much is the drink? Oh, okay, sure. That's what things cost here, I guess. You know, and and I I feel one thing. Maybe there
Brandon 14:51
was tariffs on root beer. What the heck? What is going? Gosh,
Collin 14:54
I think I've talked about this here before. I feel weird. Go to the fair and I don't get any fair food because they allow local restaurants to have booths and stalls, and so we just go to local restaurants at the fair. I mean, support them probably
Brandon 15:14
better than
Collin 15:16
well. So this, I
Brandon 15:17
mean, unless you want a foot long corn dog, which, to be fair, sometimes you do, but
Collin 15:23
sometimes you do. Sometimes, like that's oh, this year they had deep fried deviled eggs. That was okay. That was trying to
Brandon 15:36
decide how I feel about that. Is that mixed here, like part of me is like, but the other there is a part of me that's like,
Collin 15:47
yes, yes, that is
Brandon 15:50
a good answer for fair food. I feel like I will pull Susan later and see what she says about this.
Collin 15:58
I'm interested. We did not, we did not consume this, but that's unfortunate. No, I know. I I looked at visual reviews, Collin. I stared at the stall, and I was just. I don't know about that. I don't know about that one. But the kids wanted pizza, and so I'm going. Oh wow! There's pizza everywhere of all like the Fair Carney food vendor games, and but I know like up the main fairway, hook south around the stadium, tucked in a corner is a little local pizza trailer that does pizza oven. They've got their little pizza grill thing, whatever on the back, and they the wood fire stove, wood fire pizza, whatever it is. You know, they they have that, and I'm going. Well, I want that. I don't want the nasty fair pizza. That's no no more. It's all the same price basically by the time you kind of factor everything in. So that is
Brandon 16:54
true. Like it's not
Collin 16:55
hoofed it up there and got the nice quality pizza and came back down, and but yeah, the the fair is a fair this year. Very fairy. That's my it's my review. We hit it hard and fast. I think I need to figure this out. I think the I don't so there's a horticulture building where they do the like best fern in all of Missouri and the best whatever in Missouri, I'm pretty sure the last couple days they must only do zinnias because every year we go towards the end of the fair because yeah right whatever plus the last day half price ticket in also on last why would you not go that day? Why would you not go that day? Yeah, because we don't. The only correct
Brandon 17:46
answer at that point, really. Go on now.
Collin 17:48
We we probably could get better at like going to special events that are happening at the fair and like special things. But all we want to do, I want to see the prized from you know coal camp, I want to see the the the whatever the sausages that won from an FFA. Like I just want to see that stuff. That's fair. I want to see the fish at MDC. We need to go look at tractors. Then we have lunch. Then depending on how lunch is going, we may go to a couple other places, and then we do rides, and then we go home. Like that's, I'm not going to see the performers. I don't know. I said that kind of like well, that's
Brandon 18:29
because they never follow our list, and then they always get it wrong. So
Collin 18:32
I know,
Brandon 18:33
right? You would go, but
Collin 18:36
oh,
Brandon 18:36
they, you know.
Collin 18:37
I'm also hey, they
Brandon 18:39
don't put Tech Nine in there. So I mean, why?
Collin 18:42
Also, review from the Facebook groups. I know this is what we love. I started a new segment. Okay, of thing reviews from random Facebook people on my local Facebook pages.
Brandon 18:55
Okay, Collin slowly turns into his father. Got it. Let's go keep this segment alive and
Collin 19:02
alive. So, one of as we all know, because we listened to the episode, we all knew that Rick Ross was going to be coming to the Missouri State Fair,
Brandon 19:12
of course.
Collin 19:13
And one of the attendees posted anonymously saying, "Did Rick Ross even show up, five question marks. Oh, and first comment said, and look, this is allegedly there's nothing. I I don't know any of this for sure. So for like,
Brandon 19:32
because you were not in attendance. So I wasn't attendance.
Collin 19:34
This is hearsay. So for legal purposes, okay, yes, for legal
Brandon 19:39
reasons,
Collin 19:39
I am just reporting what I read on Facebook, the first comment, the first comment, I I chortled weekly at this, but it said it said yeah he showed up, but he didn't show out, and then that got like like 45 like likes to it.
Brandon 19:58
I feel like that has potentially been. True about Rick Ross for a long time.
Collin 20:03
Allegedly, Rick Ross and your lawyers. Yeah,
Brandon 20:10
allegedly.
Collin 20:10
Allegedly.
Brandon 20:12
I mean, I thought that
Collin 20:13
was such a fantastic. That's pretty good. Yeah, showed up, but did show out, and a lot of people also agreed with that. Apparently, so. But they wouldn't have that problem if they actually picked people from our list. I know, but alas, alas,
Brandon 20:36
you know who would have showed out? Tech. That's all I'm saying. Okay,
Collin 20:40
he would have. He would have showed up. Brought the grandstands
Brandon 20:43
down. That's what would happen. Sitting? No, not allowed. Boom.
Collin 20:49
No, no sitting. Therefore, shall be no sitting. Oh, so that was was my week.
Brandon 21:05
That's more exciting than mine. I had to go back to work and do like staff meetings for forever.
Collin 21:12
Yes,
Brandon 21:13
that's real exciting. I love staff meetings.
Collin 21:17
So much staff meetings. Yeah,
Brandon 21:19
you know, I have to do things, and like there's, it's apparently like we have to do like a we're we're okay. So to to streamline district communication, there is now one only one district approved communication source, right? Oh
Collin 21:45
no, we have
Brandon 21:45
like one this like app thing, right? That's like linked to the website, and apparently there's a another app and like all this stuff, right? So there's now we like because before the elementary was using like one way to talk to parents, and then like sports people were doing another one, and like some of the groups had like their own one that they were using. Right, there was no like unification to this, so now we we all have to use the same thing for like communicating with parents and stuff. So we had to learn all about that, and had to like try to set it up, and then I had to like try to. It was very annoying because I was trying to set it up while people were talking. I was just like, I don't care. I got it figured out. So we're just gonna be fine. I have no idea what's happening. I don't know.
Collin 22:37
They were talking, as in they had ongoing conversations there, or they were talking at you while you were. Well, no, they were talking
Brandon 22:42
at me because it was like a presentation meeting thing, and then they were like, "Hey, while I'm talking, you should be on your laptop looking at this. And I was like, "I don't know what any of these words mean because I have to like find. I had to like set my out of office message. Yeah, it's like an official one. We had, we did it. We like did it last year. Like we got it, and the spring sports people were like testing it out. So like the coaches were the only people that used it last year. So last year I had to go in and set my office hours for like 1159 to 12 o'clock on Sunday, and I had to make like a message, just like, "Hey, we are not currently using this method. Please reach out on other blah blah. So I had to go like get rid of that, right? Like erase that, like set all the stuff back up, like try to figure out how it works. Like so, I still haven't done a lot of that. So I was playing with that. I was hearing about all the horrible things I'm gonna have to do this year. Like apparently, apparently we're gonna have to go do a professional development day at a different school with other people. Oh, oh, gross! Why would
Collin 24:00
you need to do that.
Brandon 24:01
So this is my. This is what I was talking about to the principal. I was like, "What are you making me do? What is happening? Yeah. Like it has to do. Like it's we reformed the conference that we're at, like the sporting conference or whatever, right? Like there's many shenanigans that happened here, so we don't have to talk about that. But like, we had to reform all that stuff, and so like now, as part of like the new conference, like the schools want to like get together so they can also like be on the same page, like academically or something, I guess. Which in theory is cool, but also that means I have to like go and talk to people who apparently, allegedly, based on what the principals said. Now, this is probably very heavily biased information. So, like, sure can't. I have no proof of this either. Okay, Rick Ross's lawyers. I don't know, but like, they some of the people, some of the places that we're going, like they do. Not have like the the things that I have done for my classroom. Like they don't have like the I don't know. It sounds like they don't even have like priority standards for some of their subjects. What
Collin 25:12
what are
Brandon 25:12
you doing with your life? So like we have to go and like talk about that. And not half jokingly, I said to the principal, like, then what am I getting out of this?
Collin 25:24
Yeah,
Brandon 25:25
right.
Collin 25:26
Yeah, like
Brandon 25:27
I'm not going. I am not going over here and then like helping other people do their work. Absolutely not. Like that's gross. Like I will like talk about stuff and like we can like share ideas and things, but like I will not do that because that is dumb. Like, so I don't know
Collin 25:48
which, which, which, yeah, because that is so far outside, like, of your bounds of like why you're even there. Like, like it's one thing also. Like, it's one thing. Yeah,
Brandon 26:00
I'm here to help my kids, not yours. Well,
Collin 26:03
help your kids. No offense,
Brandon 26:04
but like and your
Collin 26:05
staff too, like other team members of like, hey, here's how. Like, it's one thing for a school to do that with one another to go from this school district is now teaching this other school district how to be a school.
Brandon 26:17
Like that feels weird to me. I don't know. So we'll update you on that because I'm already grumpy about that. Right. So yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. But then we like had to. Then we we did get a lot of time this time though to like clean out, like do like work in classroom stuff, which is good. Like that's like all I have to do tomorrow. Is that like I don't think there might be like one thing, like a one meeting, but like basically today and tomorrow, no tomorrow and the day after that, I don't have anything to do. I just have to like work on my room and like get my stuff ready, right? So that's at least good, but because we're strangely starting school on Wednesday, I don't really know who decided that one. It wasn't me. That's an A plan. Is is
Collin 27:12
Monday like the best time to? We
Brandon 27:15
normally do Tuesday, right? That way, like you know, the kids come back and kind of ease in. We got like four days back and blah blah blah, right? Like so, it's it's just weird to me that it's a Wednesday, but whatever. I don't care. So I've like I got most of my room set up, and then like I just was like sort of been in denial mode, right? Potentially watching like 75 billion episodes of like Gundam Wing, obviously. So like not wanting to go back to school. So like I did just just like Thursday. I'm like, I guess I should probably look at like my lessons and remember
Collin 27:53
what it is
Brandon 27:54
that happens in the first week of school because like I don't remember exactly, right? Because I still think about like all the things that I was doing at the end of school. So I'm like, wait,
Collin 28:05
oh yeah,
Brandon 28:06
back it up, right? Got to back what is the beginning of school life? Where are my beginning of year papers and lessons? I ain't gonna do that. How do I? Where are they, right? Where did I put those? As a serial piler, this also problematically happens. Where did I put that? I do have like hanging files and like some stuff, right? So most of it is in there, but I do have a few things that like I added, right? And then I was like, oh, I'll make a file for this, and then I just put it in a basket,
Collin 28:42
sure,
Brandon 28:42
like a tray, and now I don't know where that is, but I don't need it yet, probably. So we'll see. I don't know. Like
Collin 28:51
I need to, I need to like
Brandon 28:53
update my hanging file thing because, like, I do have all my, I have a lot of the paper stuff, especially at the beginning of the year, because we do lots of like maps and things, and this is a very paper-oriented task, right? Like, sure, very much. And so, like, I have like lots of little hanging files in like a in a drawer and in like one of those just those milk crate things, you know? Like you get Walmart or whatever. Oh yeah. And it was like a bunch of files, and I have a bunch of file folders and things. And so I have them all kind of like grouped together by like here's a bunch of soul studies ones, here's a bunch of science ones, but I did add some new things, so like I need to go back and like or at least put because there are Manila folders inside the hanging files, right?
Collin 29:38
You know, yes.
Brandon 29:40
So it's like this unit has like three or four folders in it, and this one has like three, right? And so I just need to go back and like add the folders in there because like I have papers. We're like, oh yeah, that's good. I should keep this. I'll just put it in this tray right now, and then I do that like seven times, and then it's like, oh dang it, where did the. You're like, actually, oh, actually, dang it! Where did that?
Collin 30:07
Because then I have this, I have this, I have this actively happening on my other bookshelf where it has a nice big flat top to it, and it became where I was piling stuff that I would need to get to on one side, but now I should have been better about organizing those by topic because now there's a lot of things there that are not related to one another at all. So I have to like
Brandon 30:34
archeology, like dig down through the layers. Like okay, let's go back in time here. This was then, and I was before that, so I got to keep digging. Like it's sort of,
Collin 30:44
yep, just down we go rabbit hole, everyone. Yeah, we hold on,
Brandon 30:50
you know, like like excavating the strata, right? Like superposition myself to where is this paper I should eat?
Collin 30:58
Exactly,
Brandon 31:00
right? Like it was before this, but after this, so let me look in here. Hold on, yeah.
Collin 31:06
Oh, oh no, this went back too far, too far,
Brandon 31:08
too far. So the other, the other problem that I had this week, the big, the big dilemma that I was facing, is I got a new. They got everybody new, like board things, right? Like, I had this like very very very old like smartboard that was like barely alive, right?
Collin 31:35
Okay,
Brandon 31:36
I was actually the last person in the entire district to still have one that functioned.
Collin 31:40
Was this by your choosing, or yeah, it was actually because
Brandon 31:44
they got these other things a couple years ago, but like when they got them, the internet was like being real spotty that whole year, right? And so like the these things are like these new like smart board. They're not smartboards, but they're called. I don't know what they're called, but it's like the same idea. You hang them up. It's like a big TV, but it's like you can like touch it and draw on it, and like it's like a big giant tablet that sits on the wall.
Collin 32:11
Interesting, right?
Brandon 32:12
But but I I don't like this because it can't talk to my desktop computer.
Collin 32:23
Oh, interesting. Yeah, so it's like, oh,
Brandon 32:26
yeah, it's completely separate.
Collin 32:28
I don't.
Brandon 32:29
It's a Wi-Fi enabled board, so like you have to either look stuff up on it individually or like use like Google Drive to do that. You can't even like broadcast to it, like Chromecast to the board, right?
Collin 32:49
What a waste!
Brandon 32:51
Yeah, right. That's what I thought, and so I was very upset about this for a couple reasons. Number one, all of my, a lot of my stuff for science is in a PowerPoint that's just on my desktop in a folder. So like these gigantic, massive PowerPoints that I just keep adding to and changing all the time-they're just there.
Collin 33:14
Sure.
Brandon 33:14
So that's annoying. This might inhibit the use of my clicky thing, which is terrible. There is you can plug the clicky thing into the board and use it there, but it is laggy and weird, right? The other problem is, as I was playing with this, like I was discovering that like actually going in and opening up stuff and doing this and like logging in all the time, this is going to take time
Collin 33:44
from
Brandon 33:44
me, right? And like, I also played around and messed with it. Like, it doesn't like if you leave stuff open on this board, and then like the board turns off, it doesn't save it in any meaningful way, like it doesn't. The tab isn't still open. What, right? And maybe there's a setting that I could like faff about with and deal with this, but it's not there.
Collin 34:14
Yeah.
Brandon 34:15
And so, like, I was just like so upset that I was like, "This is so maddening that I can't do these things. Like I was upset because, like the bare minimum of what I just need to function, like this didn't do. Like it did. Like whenever, whenever I think about like replacing a piece of technology, right? Like I need it to do what the old one was already doing.
Collin 34:43
Yeah.
Brandon 34:43
Like, and then you can do plus more, right? Does that make sense? Like, that's what a real replacement should be.
Speaker 3 34:51
Yeah. You shouldn't
Brandon 34:51
like lose functionality,
Collin 34:55
right? Well, because especially because if you are not. If you are not changing your workflow or have been notified of this, then the whole thing is like,
Brandon 35:10
it's them, crazy, yeah. So I was very upset, and I was searching for a solution to my problem, and then I noticed that the side of my board has a VGA capable hookup. Indeed. So I did some googling on this company's website, and it told me how to wire this to my desktop. And then I looked at the cable because when they took my smartboard away, they just took my cables and just like kept them in the ceiling. So there's just they're just laying up on top of the drop ceiling. This
Collin 35:48
gives me so much anxiety, so much anxiety. So
Brandon 35:51
they just were like, because the people that took them down were building maintenance, so they're like, eh, whatever. Sure,
Collin 35:58
they don't, yeah,
Brandon 35:59
don't care. And so I was like, "Hey, wait a minute! I have this cable, and I have this USB cable that it says I need to run the touch functionality because to run the touch functionality, you have to do the VGA cable and the USB thing. And I was like, "Wait a minute! So I climbed up in my ceiling and show my flashlight around. Sure enough,
Collin 36:24
no way.
Brandon 36:25
There was my VGA cable. Oh my gosh! And so I ran it the rest of the way because that's what was plugged into my projector for my smartboard. Yeah, it was VGA, and then I had this USB cable that was running to my smartboard because, like, before it stopped working, that's how you ran a ton of functionality on that as well.
Collin 36:43
Yeah. So I
Brandon 36:43
squirreled up into my ceiling and I ran my own cables down to the wall, and I plugged my board in, and now I might be the only person in the entire building that has increased functionality on their board because now I can do two. Now I can flip back and forth between connected to my desktop and fully independent device. Like I just click
Brandon 37:07
one button on the thing, like on the board. You can just like click. You click two buttons, and you can switch the input.
Collin 37:15
This is perfect.
Brandon 37:16
And so now I have all the functionality.
Collin 37:20
You have every mondo function. I can.
Brandon 37:22
I can have this. I can this way. I can like, if I'm going to show like some videos in science class in the morning, I can like load those up on there, put those on the board, and then I can switch back over to my presentation mode, and then I can just do that. And then we're like, okay, we're going to watch this video. Click, click. Oh, look here it is. Bang. I mean, done already. The
Collin 37:41
fact, well, you can tell how they are slowly moving away, or like this is the intent of this is, hey, teachers, you won't even need a desktop computer. You just need this one tablet on the wall. This will be your one truth of everything. Cloud will be everything. How it gets to the cloud, we don't really care because you're not obviously going to be making these things on this object. You're just going to appear. You'll probably do that at home on your own personal computer. I'm probably sure, right? Like, yeah. There's no thought here to using the desktop. They they are obviously just like, well, that's not real. We don't have desktops anymore.
Brandon 38:18
Yeah, and like, I don't know. Like there are still a lot of things like that. The desktop can just do better. Well,
Collin 38:26
display. Let me pull this up. I was working on this. Here's a presentation that I've been making. Let me just show this to you real quick. Yeah.
Brandon 38:34
Well, I the other thing that I was like really focused on was how like if I just had this board that's only by itself over on the wall, right? My kids do an obscene number of presentations.
Collin 38:49
Yes,
Brandon 38:50
right. How much time am I losing between presentations?
Collin 38:54
Absolutely.
Brandon 38:55
If I can only interact with the thing up on my wall.
Collin 38:58
Absolutely.
Brandon 38:59
How much time am I losing?
Collin 39:02
This is they don't. Why? Why would kids, Brandon? Why would kids need to give presentations? They just going to sit there and listen to you while you talk. Obviously, no, absolutely, right? Never.
Brandon 39:11
So, like that, I would be losing so much time.
Collin 39:15
Yeah.
Brandon 39:16
Right. So now, because like usually what I do is I, I just pull them up because we use I use Google Classroom all the time. So like all their presentations are right there. I go in and click the one, and I just drag it up to the board because whenever whenever I plugged it into my desktop, it functions like a second monitor.
Collin 39:37
Yeah, it should right. I think I
Brandon 39:39
think you can mirror it also, but like, or
Collin 39:43
just extend it. Like this. I just
Brandon 39:45
extend it because that way I can be doing things, and the kids can have things be doing, and they're independent, right? It's just like again, it's increased functionality, because if it's mirrored, then whatever I'm doing, they can see. But if I'm like writing an email to the principal. That's not good, right? We don't we don't need that. They need to see that they they have stuff. They have a lot of times it's like directions, right, for whatever they're doing, right? That's on the board and it's displayed so they can all see them, like the rubrics or the like, just a lesson for like the steps, the thing they need to do that day, or like even if it's a reading day, it's like read this thing, answer these questions, do this, like that is the assignment that's on board, right? So like they those need to be split tasks, you know. So like, why would you just extend it? So this way, like when that kid is sitting down, I can already be pulling up the next kid stuff and having it ready for by the
Collin 40:37
time they get up there. Just moving through, like yeah, you're just it's just efficiency of that time because you-you want you don't want the class time to be spent. You going, huh? Uh, wait a minute, hold on. Well, let's wait for it to wait. Where did you put that again? Yeah, like that. Yeah, like no, because you. Yeah, because otherwise
Brandon 40:57
I would have to pull up my Google Classroom on the board, and then all the kids could like look at everything everybody else has in there. Like you
Collin 41:05
know, no.
Brandon 41:07
They just need to see their client side of this. They don't need to be looking at other people's stuff, right? Right. They don't need that, right? Unless it's like really good, because then I will like post it in there by ask permission first. But like you know, like hey, bang, like so. That's just again, it's like a long time. Like it's just a long. And again, sixth graders when they're sitting there looking at other stimulus is no good, right? Is no good.
Collin 41:31
We need to. We do need to be clipping through these. So you know, because
Brandon 41:35
like even just like if you're going to pull up a YouTube video, right? It needs to be like open and ready, right? Because you can't go on to YouTube and then like type stuff in while they're looking at it. Because they'll be like, "Hey, what's that? Hey, let's watch that instead. Like,
Collin 41:49
yeah,
Brandon 41:50
that's all that will happen. It's just annoying. It's like not bad or anything. It's just annoying.
Collin 41:56
Yeah, you can't be. You got to again. We we need to be using our time better. Or if there's a delay or glitch, now all of a sudden you are trying to keep them occupied while also problem solving what's going on and making sure that it's not devolving into
Brandon 42:11
ah, okay. This is the other super important thing, right? If my board is hardwired to my desktop, my science presentations, my science notes don't require any internet to use whatsoever.
Collin 42:25
Ah,
Brandon 42:26
so if the internet gets messed up or the internet goes down, I can just completely continue going as business as normal, and I don't have to do anything different.
Collin 42:35
Yep,
Brandon 42:37
right, like because it's just a PowerPoint.
Collin 42:40
It's just there, yeah, and
Brandon 42:41
it's just in a desktop folder, and so on those days when the internet is stupid, like when our server rack like blows up and we don't have internet for like three hours, I don't have to do anything different. I can just keep having science class because my big thing can just turn into a monitor, and that's fine. Yeah, right. Like I'm assuming it will still turn on this way. You know, I don't know, but like if it's just in monitor mode, sure they should be fine.
Collin 43:12
It doesn't unless it needs to have a check. You know what? Maybe to like log
Brandon 43:16
on to like open, right? Like that's your thing because it had. to put a stupid passcode in to like turn it on.
Collin 43:26
This doesn't make any sense. Yeah, people, you don't need. Yeah, I
Brandon 43:29
don't think it's really super necessary, but whatever. But this is what I. This once I figured this out, my anxiety level dropped like 50 points. I was like, okay, all right, this is fine now. I was just so mad that the thing that they got me that was replacing what I already had was not better.
Collin 43:48
Well, I mean,
Brandon 43:49
it has better resolution. You can see things, sure. So that's nice. I'm gonna have to like find new pictures now because it's like much more high resolution than like the old board. So like some of my pictures are probably going to be like, oh, what is that? So I probably need to update some of my pictures anyway. But like, it will give me an excuse to do that. Spend some time
Collin 44:12
on the Google.
Brandon 44:13
It's fine. I'll Google like replacing some of these, like especially after I look at it the first time. Be like, ah, okay, well, you.
Collin 44:24
Yeah. Anyway. Well, I. This is the problem that has happened more and more with. I obviously love technology. I'm big. I adopt things pretty quick. But one of the fallacies that all this stuff comes out of is you can definitely tell what kind of people made these products based off of the failsafes and things like that. Obviously, the people who made this board probably from either Silicon Valley or in a place that has had fiber internet for the last 20 years. When Google was playing the 1990s and you know early 2000s, and they've just they've never had to deal with slower than gigabit internet speed, and have never had to deal with delays in networking systems because their company has always had the greatest server racks and the greatest IT on-call professionals, and yeah, and they have
Brandon 45:23
like on-call people there. We have like the business teacher.
Collin 45:27
Yes, yeah, you know, like who may be sick that day in your family. Yeah, she cannot be there.
Speaker 4 45:32
Like
Collin 45:34
this is when there is too much siloed out of reality, these are the kind of products that people and schools and people like are left with. In that, oh, sure, in a world where everything was perfect and never went down and had fast, blazing fast internet all the time, I would. This would actually be the most amazing thing ever, but nobody lives there, and so I don't know who this is who this is for. It's like I'm also
Brandon 46:08
not going to type up anything or make a presentation to give my class on a giant oversized tablet sitting on my wall. How in
Collin 46:18
the world would you like?
Brandon 46:19
That doesn't feel like a very functional like work design. Like, how am I going to use this? Like, if I'm making presentations to show them, how in the world would I do that on this? That would be the most annoying thing of all time. Like,
Collin 46:37
this is what I'm saying. Like, they obviously are just like, how? Sure, it's just connected to the cloud. How does it get on the cloud? Nobody knows. But it'll just be there, right? Because you obviously have many other computers and tablets and things that you have access to, and you you can do this in your free time, and it'll just be there. No, no, no. I I'm not doing that. Horrible experience. Oh my gosh! So yeah, we'll see
Brandon 47:02
how it goes next week.
Collin 47:04
I'm very excited to see, but yeah, how this pails out.
Brandon 47:08
I'm very excited that I have it hardwired into my wall now. So like that is the most exciting thing about this. I'm all
Collin 47:14
just waiting for whenever you jump on a call and you're like, Collin, they found my hardwire. They removed it. No,
Brandon 47:20
they're not touching my hardwire. Better stay out of there, business teacher lady.
Collin 47:25
Shots fired.
Brandon 47:26
They don't care. I was able to do this without bothering anybody and letting getting on the nerves of the custodial staff. It's fine. Just leave me alone. The right.
Collin 47:38
It's okay. It's fine.
Brandon 47:45
Oh well, Collin, my final segment today. I have another installment of Brandon watches mecha anime from the 80s and 90s. Ah, yes. If I can interest you in this, I would love
Collin 47:56
this.
Brandon 47:57
So, Collin, this week I have something much more grounded than space opera Gundams. What if I told you, Collin? Could I interest you in an anime about like police procedural slash workplace comedy in a near future with Mechs?
Collin 48:21
You know what? I'm sold. How do I? How do I sign up?
Brandon 48:25
This is the premise of Pat Labor.
Collin 48:29
Pat Labor.
Brandon 48:31
Yeah, yeah. So in this world, Mechs are called Labors, right? So like, it's kind of like near future. I think the the anime, the TV show is like 1989, and I think a lot of the, but it's like the near future of like 1998 to 2000. I see, right?
Collin 48:51
Yes,
Brandon 48:52
and so they they have these big mechs, and they're called labors, and there are a lot of them are used for like construction, right, like heavy industry, right? But because that means some people steal them and do crimes with them, you need police labors or patrol labors, aka the pat labor,
Collin 49:16
right?
Brandon 49:18
Yes. So I've watched an unhealthy amount of pat labor. I actually watched one, like seven episode OVA, the entire 40 some episodes, anime episodes, and two movies. Oh dear God! Yeah, this was over the course of like two and a half weeks. I was watching Gundam and this kind of simultaneously, okay, right? Because I can't binge watch things, so I have to go back and forth, right? It's just a problem I have. So, like, it the the depending on what like tone you're feeling, right? Like the movies are like much more serious, right? The. Cat Labor Two is like a very serious movie about like very serious like political issues and like governmental. Yes, it's like a quite it's like a slow, relatively brooding thing about terrorists, right? Oh my! But like the first movie is a little bit more lighthearted, like the OVA is like pretty jovial, and the anime is just straight up workplace comedy, like hilarious.
Collin 50:30
Wow, they really zigs and zags all over the place there. Well, it
Brandon 50:33
is fun because like the second movie too, like the tone shifts a little bit towards the end because like it's very much like the these officers are like doing other things, but to solve the problem, we got to get the band back together. So once they come back together, there's a little bit more hijinks happening because they they're very goofy people, right? Like, so like the the anime is my favorite one though, so we'll just mostly focus on that, right? This is focusing on like police unit. Well, let's see. Let me get the official official name here. Oh, special vehicles division two unit two, right? So like they're kind of like the misfit group, Right, like Division One is like the all-star team, right, and like Division Two is a little bit more, like they're a little bit goofier, right. Now the patrol labors, kind of like they're kind of like on call, right, like a like a fire department, right. So they have this police house, and they go out there, and they don't like drive around on call like everybody else. They like a um like the fire department to their state. Oh yeah, special vehicle section two, division two. There we go. I knew I was going to get that wrong. So like you have like a whole team though, right? So in the in the like station house, there's like a whole bunch of like mechanics, and there's like a head mechanic guy who's a part of a thing, and then there's the two chiefs, like the two captains, right? You have Captain Nagumo, who's like the Division One captain lady, and then we have Division Two's captain, Captain Goto, and he's like, he's like a weird guy because he's like a he comes across as like very aloof and lazy, and he's like pretending that he doesn't know what's going on, but he absolutely is like very astute and knows absolutely every detail about things that are happening. He's just trying to play it off to like.
Collin 52:53
I was gonna say, is it so that he doesn't get more work done, or is he doing it so that he can like get like partly?
Brandon 53:00
Partially, it's like partially. So he like he'll just like come up with these like he's like he'll come he'll it's to get the result right, and he'll be like, "Wow, look at that! I guess it just worked out.
Collin 53:11
Oh,
Brandon 53:11
who knew?
Collin 53:12
I see. He did the entire
Brandon 53:14
time. Yes, understood. But like, and then like every, so it's it's also cool because it's like pretty grounded in that like they really talk a lot about like and they show like how using these labors is like difficult. So like the division two has two labors right with two pilots, and one of them is your main character Noah Izumi? She's like the bright-eyed younger girl pilot lady, and then you have this other guy whose name's Ota, who just like shoots at everything. He's like a very hot-headed classic police guy. But every pilot has a command car that follows them, so they have a driver that's like spotting them, helping them give directions, talking about what's going on behind them. A
Collin 54:09
human driver,
Brandon 54:10
yeah, like yeah, yeah. So like, there's a person piloting the labor, and then there's a person in the car that's like their commander on shift that's like talking to them and like relaying them stuff, relaying them information, and then there's also the labor transport driver because these things are so big they are transported everywhere on flatbed trailers.
Collin 54:36
Oh jeez,
Brandon 54:38
right? Wow, they're like big flatbed trailers, and that's where they have like battery chargers hooked up to them. There's like tools and stuff on them, so they can like fix things if something goes wrong.
Collin 54:49
Sure.
Brandon 54:50
And then they like raise up, they like stand up, and then it unhooks, and the laborers can like step off of
Collin 54:57
it. Oh, cool!
Brandon 54:58
So there's like these whole team of people. People involved in this like police division, and so that's the other cool thing is like they always talk about like they're always together, they're always like showing how they work together to do things, right? And they're showing like they always you know sometimes they're like oh my gosh the battery is dying. We've got to like come back over here, and we'll charge up a little bit while this other guy goes over, like switch out, right? Like, it's really cool, right? It's really cool. Some of the episodes are like kind of boring. Like the first couple ones is just like life at the station house. Like they're like so far out over there. They're like, yeah, we have to fish because that's how we get lunch. Because there's no restaurants out here, and it's just like them gardening and like doing a bunch of stuff. And then there is a couple weird episodes. Like there's one, there's like a ghost episode, right? Like it's very, it's all over the place. Nice, very goofy. Even like I was reading a line, they're like, "Oh yeah, the OVA is like so serious. There's literally like a sea monster in one of those episodes. So like, I don't know if serious is the right or exactly perfect. But like the the anime is very funny, so it's like the most enjoyable one to watch. It's a lot less broody. Um, kind of like the overarching theme, I would say, is like the main character lady Noah Izumi. She's like, it's kind of like a she is like very very excellent at being a pilot. She's like the best pilot, but she's not very confident in her abilities, right? And so that's where a lot of the conflict from the things of like she thinks that she can't do some of these things, but like when push comes to shove, she like absolutely executes like amazingly and does like very daring and heroic things, and it's like people like make fun of her for it, partially through the episodes, but like her and like the chief engineer guy kind of have this like relationship where it's like one of the reasons she doesn't want to do certain things because she doesn't want to like put her robot or her people in danger, you know.
Speaker 3 57:19
Yeah.
Brandon 57:20
Whereas the other guy, he's just like,
Speaker 5 57:21
ah, go crash
Brandon 57:22
shoot, right, like whatever, like, and they have to fix his stuff like all the time. Where she like really has a very deep affinity for her robot, which she names Alphonse, just importantly, and so like she wants to take care of Alphonse, and she doesn't want to like break him or like the surrounding buildings in the area. Sure. So she's trying to like do all this stuff, and she she puts a lot of pressure on herself to like be like super like accurate and good all the time. But like, and so people like are like, oh, you can't, you know, blah blah blah. You just don't want to hurt Alphonse. But like, she's actually trying to like minimize damage and like do these other things and do that stuff. So like, it's it's very interesting because like when it comes down to it, they're like, oh, you can't do these things and blah blah. But like, she is like by far the best mech pilot in like the entire city. Like it comes up very often. Like sometimes she'll go up against like these like crazy like disgruntled like ex army dudes, and then she'll like whoop them.
Collin 58:29
Excellent.
Brandon 58:30
And they're like, "What? I don't know anything.
Collin 58:37
Well, and also, well, and also, I'm sure it's from that perspective too. If you are actively trying not to damage, you are giving yourself a handicap, right, to do that, and still being able to pull off the the be successful. Yeah, that comes up
Brandon 58:55
in a lot of the episodes. Like she's trying to be like the responsible police officer, whereas Ota is just like a wrecking ball, right? Like kind of the classic police dichotomy here, where he's like a wrecking ball, and he's often like he often like can't finish fights because his machine gets broken or he's out of bullets and like
Collin 59:17
nice.
Brandon 59:18
These things use like actual revolvers. They're like giant 37 millimeter revolvers that that they're used to stop the machines.
Collin 59:28
Well, that's one way to do it, sure. And
Brandon 59:30
they have like big electric stun batons, right? That's the police weaponry of the thing.
Collin 59:35
That's crazy.
Brandon 59:38
And Collin, the reason that you will like this show the very most is that their official uniform includes a high visibility vest. So, like,
Collin 59:50
do they want to walk dogs? Maybe I don't. Their their
Brandon 59:53
official police uniform has a built-in orange vest because they are pilot. These giant robots. That
Collin 1:00:01
is phenomenal. I'm so happy to hear that.
Brandon 1:00:05
It's like part of the jacket. It's really cool.
Collin 1:00:07
This makes my day. I'm so happy.
Brandon 1:00:11
So the whole time I was watching, I was like, "Man, Collin would love this outfit. Like I'm telling you right now, it would be great.
Collin 1:00:17
And so, like story story arc wise, like where are these people headed with like this, or is there like developments, or people leaving the force, or they so like there is a bit
Brandon 1:00:33
of a there is a side plot where one of the characters is like she's over from New York, the New York City. She's like on loan from the New York City Police Department, so she's only there for like six months, and then so like halfway through, like you get like a different character swap through, right? Oh, there's not a ton of through lines in all these episodes. It's kind of there's a lot of like Division Two keeps breaking a lot of things. There is a bunch of throughlines about like one of the major companies wants to build like a replacement for this labor unit, right? But they're trying to build like a cheap, mass-produced one. So like every once in a while, this comes up where they're like they'll test this new one, and it's just it's never as good as the one they have. And like Noah is actually such a good pilot that like the machines that they keep giving her to test drive, like they don't do what she wants them to do. Like her reaction times and things are like so good that like she's like why these are all so slow all the time. They're so sluggish, right? So there's some of that like tension going over like how does the police department contend with the continuing development of new mechs, right? Because like originally they're just for construction, but then there's like, you know, now we have these like new models, and there's like military models out there that get stolen, and like at one point there's like a crazy guy who's working for another company, and he develops like a massively complicated like big giant labor that's like terrorizing. Like he commit. He like builds it for crimes. You know. Like
Collin 1:02:25
you know. Sure. Why not? Yeah.
Brandon 1:02:26
You know. It's like so. That's a whole like plot that comes up every once in a while. Like that's kind of where it's going. Just like how are these people dealing with the changing environment with new technology and like the need to create more police, right? What does that mean for them? Does the band get like split up, right? Like, do they have to get rid of a fonts? No, fonts. No, like that's kind of the overall theme. Like that's kind of where the trajectory goes. There is a sequel OVA somewhere called Pat Labor: The New Files. This apparently does not exist online in any form whatsoever. I would have watched that too, but I can't. So like I don't, I don't know where some of the conclusions go to these things because it does it exist.
Collin 1:03:30
I wonder, gosh. So are you gonna you gonna get a VPN and go try and find it somewhere else, or you just yeah,
Brandon 1:03:38
no, don't know. I might just watch the anime again at some other point because it's just funny. Like it's funny, it's pretty endearing, right? Relatively wholesome, right? Because you do have just like it's a nice cast of characters and how they kind of interact. And some episodes you get to focus on, you know, this guy learn more about this guy over here, and they are a very ragtaggy bunch of people, right? So, like, it's also just funny, like their interactions with each other. So, so there you go, Collin. I love this hat labor. I have it the the the mecca anime of the week here in this recurring segment of
Collin 1:04:19
Of the week, oh brother! We don't
Brandon 1:04:24
know how much more of this is going to be occurring now that school started, but I do know I do have a couple in the pipe. They're shorter. One of them is just a movie, so it won't take very long to talk about at some point. That
Collin 1:04:37
certainly helps when it's
Brandon 1:04:39
yeah, yeah. I just I want it's like 40. It's like a 45 minute OBA. Perfect. It's the most insane thing of all time. So maybe next week we'll talk about.
Collin 1:04:46
Let's keep it rolling.
Brandon 1:04:49
We'll talk about that one next time. Because oh my gosh,
Collin 1:04:54
your four. That's perfect.
Brandon 1:05:01
On on a totally unrelated note, I did discover where to watch the original 1979 mobile suit Gundam online.
Collin 1:05:11
Okay,
Brandon 1:05:13
yeah,
Collin 1:05:13
that's
Brandon 1:05:14
we won't get to that one for quite a while. There's a lot here, but like
Collin 1:05:18
I know,
Brandon 1:05:19
I watched it for a couple episodes already, and holy 1979, Batman! You can definitely tell
Collin 1:05:25

Brandon 1:05:28

Collin 1:05:31
Holy cannoli! Yes, like
Brandon 1:05:32

Collin 1:05:35

Brandon 1:05:36

Collin 1:05:36

Brandon 1:05:37

Collin 1:05:41
of course. I was trying to remember. I watched. I will find this. I I I will I will I will post one. Send you one that I watched recently. Not on tech at all. Not mech. Okay, all right. Don't worry. Don't worry. I'm not encroaching on your.
Brandon 1:05:59
That's right. You can have a segment too.
Collin 1:06:02
No, I need to to send you. I can't remember the name of this thing. Dang it! Anyway, it's also from the the 70s early. Oh yeah, yeah. It's
Brandon 1:06:11

Collin 1:06:17
Love that.
Speaker 6 1:06:18
Boom.
Collin 1:06:18
Perfect. Oh yeah.
Brandon 1:06:20
Here, here you go. Here is the. I don't know if you look this up. I'm going to send you this Pat Labor poster just so you can see how excellent this is. Like, wait a minute. Come on now. Well, it's like. Oh, it's being very grumpy with me. Okay, hold on. I have to retry that a minute. Anyway, that's fine. While I'm trying to do this, do we have anything else, or is it time?
Collin 1:06:48
I think it's time.
Brandon 1:06:49
Okay. Well, I was gonna say this screenshot because it wasn't working otherwise. Time for our. I'll close this out with a haiku here. While you look at those fetching high visibility jackets. All right, that's
Collin 1:07:06
how I feel whenever I wear mine. By the way, is that guy right in the middle, or that it's that person right in the middle, being like, "Yeah, is that
Brandon 1:07:13
the arms crossed behind the head? That's the captain. That's him. That's.
Collin 1:07:21
Yes.
Brandon 1:07:22
All right. All right. Here we go. Our haiku from this week. Old dust wiped away, unpacked and reorganized. A new beginning.
Collin 1:07:39
Oh, I love it! I love it. That's
Brandon 1:07:44
Susan was giving me grief. She's like, all the dust, really, all of it. Oh, hey,
Collin 1:07:47
it's fine. It doesn't say all dust. It just says you know the some, some of the shells. You
Brandon 1:07:54
know, wipe my. So it's fine. Everything's fine. Don't worry.
Collin 1:08:05
She was very worried. Perfect. Well, there we are. Off to a new beginning, new time. But we will come back again and do this again soon.
Speaker 7 1:08:20
Indeed.
Collin 1:08:21
Indeed. Here we go. Okay, love it. Love you.
Brandon 1:08:26
Love you too. Bye. Bye.
