From Snowed-In Shenanigans To Playoff Hot Takes

Snow piles up, the studio sits quiet, and we refuse to miss a week. We hit record across a phone line and dive straight into the heart of winter life: a weekend of football that swung from gripping to grueling, a city wrapped in powder, and the odd rituals that take over every grocery aisle and gas station queue. It’s unpolished, real, and full of the kind of moments that make you nod, laugh, and occasionally yell at your speaker.

We start with the slate everyone watched and the matchup no one enjoyed. Denver vs New England gets a frank autopsy—sacks everywhere, a rookie who kept his head, and a backward pass that never should’ve left a hand. From there, we look at genuine season turnarounds and what a playoff run feels like when last year was all losses. Hopes tilt toward California, where the Super Bowl’s neutral ground is anything but neutral when corporate seats swallow fan noise. We weigh matchups, talk nerves, and admit that progress still matters even if the bracket doesn’t break your way.

Then the snowstorm seeps into everything. We lampoon the milk–bread–eggs stampede, the 2 a.m. generator “test,” the candle drawer with zero lighters, and the neighbor who predicts 6.17 inches with total confidence and a 0 percent hit rate. The South gets innovative: leaf blowers moonlight as snowblowers, and powder moves with a push. Between punchlines, we trade real tips that save your back and your budget when winter tries to run the table.

The tone turns serious as we wrestle with protest safety and policing under stress. We unpack training, the adrenaline myth of “shoot the leg,” and the risks crowds take when chaos ignites. It’s an honest, imperfect conversation about responsibility, restraint, and why binaries rarely help people get home safe. No grandstanding, just straight talk that respects the stakes and invites listeners to consider the hard parts most shows avoid.

By the end, the thread holding it all together is simple: show up for your people. Remote recording isn’t pretty, but connection beats silence. We promise better audio next time, more of the music talk you love, and plenty of room for your stories. Tap follow, share with a friend who panic-buys eggs, and leave a quick review to help others find us. Got a snow hack or a playoff take?

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:25.920
Oh, we're finally back.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.519
And just to let everybody know, Tom is joining us remotely today.

00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.120
What's up, Tom?

00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.120
Hey guys, what's going on?

00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.799
Uh how's it being snowed in up there in uh East Cupcake?

00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.439
Well, yeah, with this.

00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.879
This is my second weekend.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.239
I hope I don't have to spend three days in this house again.

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.000
Well, this is snow.

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.560
I'll take this over that damn ice we had last week.

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:53.359
Exactly.

00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:54.239
Exactly.

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:55.120
Yeah.

00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:55.920
Yeah.

00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:04.640
So so I've got birds all over the place, and I'm trying to keep them fed, and that's costing me more than feeding my dogs.

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:12.080
Well, speak speaking of keeping someone fed, how's old uh squeaking uh the uh what's her name?

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:13.120
Emma Louise?

00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.240
Ethel Louise Ethel, whatever her damn name is.

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.520
Her mother.

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.000
Her mother How are they doing up there in the hill?

00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.800
Well, her mother came and got her because they were afraid they would lose power.

00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.840
Shit, I didn't even know they had power in that hole.

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.800
But well, they're not stealing electricity from you, are they?

00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:34.080
Huh.

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.479
I don't know.

00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:47.599
Anyway, uh I'm uh I'm sure he's doing well.

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.159
He probably isn't even out of bed yet.

00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.479
I heard some kind of music playing last night.

00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:55.759
Oh, geez.

00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.199
Well, I doubt either one of them are gonna come out to the studio today.

00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.199
So that's a good thing here.

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.159
So I guess that you got squeak snowed in with you, and who the hell knows where Pip is?

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:06.800
Yeah.

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.159
He's a little wild one.

00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.960
He's he's the wild one of the big things.

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.560
We never know what's going on with Pip.

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:15.599
Oh, we don't.

00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.280
He's secretive.

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.439
He likes to hang out with them little fellows in the tree, right?

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:23.840
Oh, does he?

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.159
Yeah, you know, else make cookies.

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:27.439
Yeah, he doesn't mind them.

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:28.479
Yeah.

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.759
Well, Squeak, he he's yeah.

00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.479
I had a pack of cookies in the cabin one day.

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.319
He came over here and it was like he ran the place.

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.319
He said, I don't want to see another pack of these T Burrell cookies in this house again.

00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:43.680
I said, What?

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.719
Anyway, I had to send him on his day.

00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.240
I don't blame you.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:49.599
But anyway.

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:50.400
Right.

00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.759
So uh should we talk should we talk about last weekend's games?

00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.680
Yeah, we can do that.

00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:58.800
We should.

00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.039
I think there were some were some good games except for one.

00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:03.840
Yeah.

00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.639
Okay, watchable games, let's put it that way.

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.840
Yeah, there were many watchable games except for one.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.240
Right.

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.319
Could people guess which one we thought was a crappy game?

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:15.199
Yeah.

00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.480
Tick tock.

00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:17.439
Tick tock.

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.399
Yes, folks, it was a Denver New England game.

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:21.920
A slot fest.

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.199
It was terrible.

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:24.160
It was horrible.

00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:24.879
It was.

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:34.399
Like I said to you at work this week, Tom, if that game would have started out in a snowstorm like that it did, it like it ended, and then it ended 10-7, that's a different game.

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:35.199
Right.

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.680
They had a whole half to score forwards.

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.680
Yeah, both teams did, Tom.

00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:40.480
Both teams did.

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.439
The only problem, the only difference is finally Drake May didn't make a mistake in this game.

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:46.240
Yeah, exactly.

00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.120
He got sacked a shitload of times, but he never fumbled the ball or got an interception.

00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.800
Almost, almost an interception.

00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:59.360
And I really ain't saying nothing bad about my quarterback, the backup we had, because I do like him.

00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:02.800
There were some drop crop drop catches, too.

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:03.920
There were.

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:04.560
There were.

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.399
I mean, not a lot, not a lot.

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.040
And somewhat pretty difficult, but I noticed that.

00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.879
And that running back at the at that play there with the backwards pass.

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.480
I watched it over and over, and I could see what that running back was supposed to do, and he just didn't do it.

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.519
He looked like a crowd out of the water with diarrhoea.

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.160
I mean, it's it was gonna be a quick release for the defense to come in anyway.

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.000
So that was the outlet.

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:28.959
Let them come in.

00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.160
I'm gonna throw the ball to you.

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.879
Don't go trying to block because you can't do it.

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:33.839
Yeah.

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.120
But anyways.

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.680
It was a crazy game all the way around.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:38.319
Yeah.

00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:44.959
Well, Patriots move on, and now we hear that uh rumblings of Dre Mays, Drake Mays shoulder.

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.279
Supposedly.

00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:48.079
Yeah, yeah.

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:49.199
You haven't heard that?

00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:50.959
Oh, I haven't heard that.

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:51.759
Oh shit.

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:51.920
Yeah.

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:52.480
All weekend.

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.240
I don't get a lot on the Patriots, but they are saying that.

00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:58.480
Right.

00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.759
I just love football.

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.800
One of them stories I figure everybody's like, uh-huh.

00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:08.079
I don't geez, I don't know how this game's gonna work out next week, but we'll find out, I guess.

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.959
It doesn't I'm already a little nervous, but you know what, Tom?

00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.879
I said it before we even played you guys.

00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.199
If we lost to you guys, I'm still happy for the season because both of our seasons.

00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.839
We were four and thirteen last year.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.519
That that's a big turnaround.

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:22.160
I'm happy.

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:27.120
Everything else is uh you know, frosting on the cake there, whatever you want to call it, however you want to say it.

00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.680
We won five games last year, I think.

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.040
What's that, Tom?

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.399
I think I think we had won five games last year.

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.319
I think you won eight last year, Tom.

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.079
I think I looked it up and it was eight.

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.040
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:39.519
Yeah.

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.240
Because I thought you were I thought you were guys with bad.

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.360
I think it was the year before.

00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.319
It made it to the playoffs.

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.480
Yeah, so you had at least nine wins then.

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.160
Eight or nine wins last year.

00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.720
Because you lost in that first game, right?

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.879
That's the wild call game, that's what it was.

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:00.720
Yeah, sure it is.

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.240
So, yeah.

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.439
But Super Bowl 60, California.

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:09.839
It's gonna be some safe.

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:10.480
Yep.

00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:18.240
I hope Seattle comes and just forgets what a football looks like.

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:19.920
You know some people.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.240
Yeah, I know, but Seattle's that's a tough team.

00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:25.680
Let's be realistic.

00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:47.759
But the good thing is it's on you know neutral ground, so but you never even the fans in the audience are never your fans really, you get a couple little spurts of Seattle fans or Ingram fans, because everybody else gets the tickets, all the Richie folk and everything, the people that don't give a shit just want to be seen at the Super Bowl.

00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:50.000
Exactly.

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.279
Exactly.

00:07:53.040 --> 00:08:03.439
And I wish I would have remembered to do a little research, but I heard sometime this week that a Dallas cowboy was killed in a car accident.

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.920
Yeah, I can't remember who it was.

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:32.639
I'll have to look that up and bring it up later on, but Lamont Francis What's funny to me is Lamar's real name was Grady What did I just say his name was?

00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.720
Come on, Grady Lamont Wilson is his name.

00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:37.120
Right.

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.039
Well on the show, Grady was Fred's best friend.

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.039
So that's pretty crazy.

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:45.840
Yeah.

00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.279
Yeah, I'm just looking out the window here at the snowfall.

00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.519
It's pr it's pretty.

00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:00.799
Yeah, exactly.

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:06.240
I'm talking about seven eight inches already, and it's just not stopped.

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.960
Okay, nobody likes a bragger.

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.519
All right?

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.440
Oh, no, it's no, no.

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.759
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.559
Yeah.

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:15.440
Yeah.

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:21.679
And I would tell you how how big he is, but I've not seen him lately.

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.200
Yeah, well, with with this weather, I understand.

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:28.000
Okay.

00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.480
So this is a little strange.

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.039
Uh talk to talking to you on the old phone.

00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:36.480
Yep.

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:42.240
And I'm hoping that we can kind of control this over talking together.

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.200
It's hard to see, and it's it's hard to tell when somebody's gonna say something.

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.080
So if I over talk, I'm sorry.

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:55.519
So uh and I apologize in advance too, because I know I've done it.

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.600
Yeah, this is kind of tough.

00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:03.600
We've we've only done this one other time, and and this is a tough little situation, but we love you guys.

00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:09.679
We thank you for listening, and we're we're gonna just make sure that we have this stuff out.

00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.159
Yeah, we just you know we wanted to get something out.

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.759
We last week we had the ice storm, so it was no podcast then.

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:21.600
This week we got this snowstorm, so this is the best we could do, but I we definitely wanted to get something out.

00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.279
Hopefully, it sounds all right.

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:28.480
Obviously, you know the circumstances now, so if it sounds like shit, oh well.

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:29.679
Yeah.

00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.559
Of course most of us sound like shit.

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:34.240
We're trying.

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:37.440
Yes, sir.

00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.399
We you guys try to come in every week.

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.840
We're gonna try to be here.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.960
So to the best of our ability.

00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.559
I hope you're having as much fun listening as we are doing.

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.159
Oh yeah.

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:57.600
Well, I'll be tweaking this stuff and uh getting different setups here, getting something different uh accessories for the old Pod Track eight.

00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.440
Maybe we can if we have to do this again, we can make it sound a little better.

00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.159
Yep.

00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.519
And maybe maybe this is gonna sound all right.

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.879
We we don't know yet.

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:07.840
We haven't learned.

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.759
So no, once I put it on and edit and go through everything, fine-tune it, we'll see what happens.

00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.000
But I mean it is what it is right now, Tom.

00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:17.360
So Yep.

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.679
But it is awful pretty.

00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:24.399
Yeah, exactly.

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.320
And like I said, I just felt like we needed to get something out, anyways.

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.799
I just it was important to both of us.

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.000
So this is the best we could do.

00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:35.440
That's what we're doing, bud.

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:36.960
Yep.

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.639
So, anyways, do you think we'll be working Monday, Tom?

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:42.159
I doubt it.

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.679
I doubt it too.

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.440
This isn't supposed to stop till later on this evening.

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.919
I don't mean late this evening, but later on this evening.

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.480
And 10 o'clock here.

00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.840
Yeah, I think I think you're wrong, my friend.

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:08.960
Well, watch I watch ch I watch your little stupid channel nine today, and the you're supposed to we're all supposed to be done.

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.320
That's what I'm saying.

00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:11.200
I'm not wrong.

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.799
The phone is, if I, you know.

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:14.960
Oh, my phone's always wrong.

00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:16.879
That's my music.

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.080
It it tells me it'll say it's 40 degrees outside, it's 12.

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.519
No, it's not 40.

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.399
Yeah, or or no rain.

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:29.519
I walk outside.

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:30.559
What's this?

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.639
Yeah, why is everything wet?

00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.720
You'll get rain in about four hours.

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:36.559
Yeah, I'm getting rain now.

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.399
Exactly.

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.200
Exactly.

00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.279
Yeah, I was watching your old Channel 9 there, watching the idiots all out in a storm.

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.159
Look, it's snowing.

00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:44.960
Yes, I can see.

00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.399
It's the same thing up north.

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:47.679
They do the same thing.

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.759
You don't need to be outside in it.

00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:50.799
We can see.

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:52.879
That's like the old timers.

00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.799
They all have the weather stoned.

00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:56.559
If it's wet.

00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.399
Oh God, here we go.

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.039
If it's dry, it's sunny.

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.080
If it's moving, it's windy.

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.879
You know how that is.

00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:06.960
Yes, I do.

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.440
That's awesome.

00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:17.120
So we got some weird stuff, not to bring up anything weird, but we had some we had stuff going on in Minnesota.

00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:18.000
Still.

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:18.879
Yeah.

00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.240
They said it was 4th of July, I think.

00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:23.840
Well, they think it's something.

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:25.679
But you know, it's all peaceful.

00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:27.039
Very peaceful.

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.039
Yeah, it's a peaceful protest.

00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:30.480
That's what they call that.

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.279
And then they get this this dude here that got shot.

00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.039
Maybe shouldn't it get shot?

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:38.000
Maybe, you know, whatever.

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.039
I don't know the whole story.

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:50.240
But all I know is them making him out to be a saint when you see him at another protest, spitting on people, breaking the uh rear taillights on these cars of ice.

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.120
Yep.

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.919
See, the problem is, I'll tell you what the problem is.

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.840
Don't wait, don't hesitate.

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.799
Anyone does anything, just lock their ass up.

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.960
Yeah, it don't I mean that'll take care of all this problem, too.

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.200
So start putting these people away.

00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:06.080
Yep.

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.679
Radicals.

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:12.399
I mean protesting Go ahead, Tom.

00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:14.720
They're putting themselves in danger.

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.440
Right.

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.200
They're putting other people around them in danger.

00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:28.480
Because you know, if a cop has to shoot to save his own life, he's gonna how many people is gonna be around that a stray bullet could hit?

00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.159
There's just a lot of stuff going on.

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.440
A lot of stuff can be so it's crazy.

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:43.840
Some of these cops aren't the best shots either, so now did he did the guy have to unload like seven rounds in him?

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:44.639
Maybe not.

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.799
No, little overkill.

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:48.559
Yeah, yeah.

00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.480
That's pretty expensive.

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.000
But when I hear people, why didn't you just shoot him in the leg?

00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.000
No, you're trained to go for the mask.

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.279
That's what you trained for.

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.320
Yeah.

00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:05.600
I mean, it's hard enough to hit a when your adrenaline is pumping, it's hard enough.

00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.200
I don't know how many people out there listening are hunters.

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:19.919
But when I'm deer hunting and I see that big guy coming through the woods, my heart starts pounding, my breathing gets I can't hardly breathe.

00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:25.200
I mean, it's hard to hit a certain party at somebody.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.000
You get somebody coming at you, your life is in danger.

00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.799
It's probably ten times worse than a deer.

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:38.960
But I'm just saying, you don't have time to, oh, I'm gonna go for a kneecap.

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:42.960
No, I I can't hardly hit a chest at this, you know.

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:46.399
I just don't see people.

00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:52.960
I just don't understand why people have to put their lives in danger like that.

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.759
Just leave the cops alone, let them do their job.

00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.679
Yeah, I feel the same way, Tom.

00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.480
And trying to like I like you said, it's impossible.

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:01.039
I don't care.

00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:02.639
You had to be a crack shot.

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.000
This isn't the movies.

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.759
Where you just boom, I got him in the leg, boom, I got him in the arm.

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:08.399
Nope.

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:08.799
Yeah.

00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:10.639
That's work that way.

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.440
It's too bad.

00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.919
I mean, like I said, uh I agree with a lot of it.

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.279
I don't want to see anybody die.

00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.559
I mean, but don't put yourself in stupid situations either.

00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.120
Exactly.

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.679
What are we really protesting?

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.720
Yeah, don't pick up a flashbang.

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:26.879
Why did you do that?

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.440
Oh, that was another dumb thing, right?

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.840
Before it even goes off, pick it up.

00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.000
Yeah, and the sad part is I can tell you why she did it.

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:51.600
Because from school age, she was pumped so much poison and rhetoric of hate and all this other stuff, and how your pronouns mean something and your rights are being dangerous.

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.120
They're silly.

00:16:53.360 --> 00:17:03.840
She had so much hate when she came there, she put her life and her limbs in danger because she wanted so badly to pick that thing up and throw it back at them.

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.480
Well, here's the problem.

00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.039
Here's the problem, and it's because of Trump.

00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:13.440
No one likes Trump, so anything Trump does, they're gonna be against.

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:22.880
When Biden and Obama were getting rid of people left and especially Obama was getting, I shouldn't say Biden, but Obama was getting rid of people left and right over three million, no one squawked.

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.640
And when they ask them, well, nobody said, Well, because they did it this way.

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.880
No, it's because you guys didn't protest it.

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.759
That's why it was easy to get them and get out.

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.880
Nobody protested you, you know?

00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:46.319
Well, and the other thing was I seen somewhere on social media picture of Obama putting the medal on the dude that everybody hates now.

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.839
Yep.

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.039
For doing what he's doing now.

00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.000
We'll move on from it.

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.880
No, he uh one last statement.

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:07.359
He can eat it all just by saying it is bad or it's good to breathe.

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.119
And they'd all just quit breathing because Trump said to breathe.

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.720
I'm not gonna breathe.

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.319
He could get he could just eat it all.

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.160
They'd all stop breathing.

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.759
Just go spiding.

00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:18.720
That would be good.

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:20.240
Anyway, that's my right.

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.119
Well, you know what?

00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.920
I'm gonna I'm gonna pause this for one sec, Tom, because we're gonna do uh important PSA.

00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.400
So I'm gonna give it a little pause.

00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.880
This is a public service announcement regarding the upcoming snowstorm.

00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.680
Residents are advised to panic responsibly.

00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.920
Please buy all available milk, bread, and eggs, even if you don't know why.

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.920
Fill your gas tank completely.

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:43.759
Test your generator at 2 a.m.

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.680
so your neighbors remain informed.

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:51.920
If power is lost, light every candle at once, then immediately realize you forgot where the flashlight is.

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.079
Remember, four inches is nothing.

00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.079
Six inches is a disaster.

00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.119
Eight inches will be disgust for the rest of your life.

00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:01.200
This has been a public service announcement.

00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:01.920
Good luck.

00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.400
And remember, you should have bought more milk.

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.119
All right, we're back.

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.160
Where do we find these people that do these PSAs and ads?

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:10.559
Jeez.

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:13.839
Oh, yeah, they're fun.

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.039
Fun, all right.

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:15.920
There you go.

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:20.000
So, you know, you know, it's kind of weird not having the old little dudes in the studio.

00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:20.160
Yeah.

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.039
So quiet.

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:22.000
Yeah.

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:27.279
Hey, you know, I still have Well, it's quiet because you're not here either.

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.359
Well, I still have all my snacks.

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:32.880
Oh, yeah.

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:35.200
Well, just don't let Squeak in.

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:36.079
Yeah.

00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.400
He's a little he's like a little ninja.

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.920
You gotta watch out for him.

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.559
Yeah, he'll come over here and go through the doors.

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:43.279
All right.

00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:48.960
So Tom, keep him keeping with our snowstorm theme.

00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:49.839
Right.

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.359
I looked up a few things.

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:57.920
Some like weird shit that, you know, in our in our MT alternative fodder, would as you'd say.

00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.039
Things that happen during snowstorms, what people do.

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.319
Either prepare or their activities or whatever.

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:04.960
Right?

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:06.559
All right, here's number one.

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.799
We can all agree on this one.

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.359
Milk, bread, and eggs panic ritual.

00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:12.880
What the hell's up with that?

00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.279
Explain that to me.

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.119
Boy, I don't know.

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:18.720
Here's the thing.

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.039
What are you gonna do with milk, bread, and eggs?

00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.279
To keep you alive if you're for two days.

00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.880
I mean, why would you pick that?

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.079
You know what I pick?

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:31.119
What's that?

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.359
I picked ramen noodles.

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.799
I picked ramen noodles.

00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.559
You pick ramen noodles.

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:39.680
Yeah.

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.759
It may last forever.

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.400
Well, yeah, that's all right, but I mean, why panic?

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:44.880
