Welcome back to some offense intended. I am Jeremy Robinson.
Speaker 2:Hi, I'm Mike Nick.
Speaker 1:Um, we are now behind almost on recording because two or three of the ones that we did recently have no audio.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and audio is kind of important yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's. I found part of the settings on Microsoft, like there's a feedback issue, whatever. So I typed out a whole thing of like I don't know if it's updates or the computer restarts or whatever the fuck it's doing, but the microphone is auto-muting and it has caused, at this point, around 10 or more hours of useless videos and lost audio recordings.
Speaker 2:Damn.
Speaker 1:Because how many have we fucking done that we've had to redo?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:A lot For no, no reason.
Speaker 2:Well, we couldn't we weren't prepared, so we couldn't do, you know, black and white and make it one of the silent movies where we sit here and we're miles and moving a lot. We're staying a lot and then just one sentence pops up on the screen.
Speaker 1:We just hold up cue cards. Yeah, no, fuck that.
Speaker 2:But I was thinking more like the silent movies, where they're it looks like they're having this long conversation Like help me yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, no you're talking about. So you want to do notes first or plans first?
Speaker 2:I don't really have a lot of notes, except I was going to talk about the, the unpleasant drive home in the morning.
Speaker 1:Oh, I have. I have several notes that don't matter.
Speaker 2:You can go ahead and start.
Speaker 1:Okay, so did you see the video of the I don't remember where it was in Florida the, the mall with aliens.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:So there's, let me see if I can find it. It's going to be super easy to find, but it's if like how well you can see it.
Speaker 2:Are you sure there are aliens and not just Floridians?
Speaker 1:Florida mall alien fairly positive. Apparently the police said laugh out loud. So I don't want to read Forbes, bro, that's a fucking click bank shit. I hate Forbes. Just give me a fucking video.
Speaker 2:I used to be there.
Speaker 1:Okay, so here's, here's the video All right Face side. Try to skip to where it actually shows. Yeah, so you can see the cop cars, you can see people walking around, and then there's something that looks like a 10 foot creature that's walking. So the whole thing that they said, for you saw how many cops were there. They said there was a lot of teenagers armed with sticks that were fighting each other.
Speaker 2:What's Florida?
Speaker 1:Right, I understand that, but that doesn't mean send 500 cops for eight teenagers. I don't know how many teenagers.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like, even if it was 30 teenagers armed with sticks, yeah, sticks, sticks, teenagers.
Speaker 2:One of them might have a nail on it.
Speaker 1:If the teenagers are armed with sticks, I'm thinking like 13 or 14, when you pick up a stick that's shaped like a sword and fight each other.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but who knows, you know, they could have had a nail at the end of one of those and that can be dangerous.
Speaker 1:Yeah so.
Speaker 2:I stick with a nail.
Speaker 1:There's the whole fuck, the whole thing around that and like, oh well, no, it's this, oh, it's this. And then there was also a tornado in Fort Lauderdale that, like, as the tornado was forming, was this massively bright, like energy explosion, like it looked like either lightning or something. Fucking set off, yeah, or directed to see that directed energy weapon.
Speaker 2:But it makes me think if I were somebody who owned that mall, I would use this. Oh, 100%, I would be like see, our prices are out of this world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, come see the aliens.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tornado touches down in downtown Fort Lauderdale. But let me see if I can find the right fucking video.
Speaker 2:Our prices are so good, aliens come causes power flash.
Speaker 1:The tornado is what caused the power flashes, but the tornado didn't fucking touch down yet. It might take me a little bit to it doesn't really take.
Speaker 2:Tornadoes can start flashes as they're forming Because there's a lot of swirling wind. I've seen so much about tornadoes.
Speaker 1:Being that, I lived in CNN's fucking useless too. It's like here's a video and you scroll down the page and there's no fucking video.
Speaker 2:I hate when they fucking do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so tornadoes are rough Road surface conditions. Here's an ad. Fuck you.
Speaker 2:Oh, thanks.
Speaker 1:It's a minute long ad. Oh you dick for a 30 second video.
Speaker 2:I hate when they do that. Oh my god, it drives me insane. Okay.
Speaker 1:I guess I'm not using your fucking website. Then USA Today. Thanks.
Speaker 2:Thanks, USA Today. I hope you don't get your ad revenue for that ad, at least for that view.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. I'll find it later, I guess.
Speaker 2:I used to read USA Today every once in a while.
Speaker 1:So it looks like it like how people explain directed energy weapons, or like the hammer ad-don from fucking Gears of War. And with that much heat in the center, if it's coolish out and then how much humidity you might, I would believe that would create a tornado.
Speaker 2:Oh, all right, I thought, maybe like if it goes the other way around it'd be nice if they try to stop one because they're tourists and they want to visit. They might not want bad weather.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think those are the only two, the two main notes they had. The other ones are aren't really shit. Advances yeah, no, yeah, like that whole, the whole mall aliens thing, they're like, they're like no, this is a normal response for us to send every fucking surrounding county's amount of cops Like that might be every cop in the fucking tri-county area, or whatever they call it down there.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Of like every fucking cop.
Speaker 2:Every cop For kids with sticks.
Speaker 1:Like. I think that's more cops than Reno has.
Speaker 2:For kids with sticks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, For children, teenagers with sticks. Yeah, what were they doing with like what? They weren't clubs? If they were concerned about them, they would have said they were armed with clubs.
Speaker 2:I could understand if maybe they had poop on a stick, then you bring on, bring in. I'd bring in the National Guard.
Speaker 1:You bring up a good point. They're at a mall yeah, what if they, all of these teenagers, just stopped by hotdog on a stick and they just ate the hotdog? Yeah, and they only have the stick left. Now they're being punished for eating.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:That's fucking awful.
Speaker 2:Well, I'd punish them because hotdog on a stick. I'd heard that they had a really good strawberry lemonade, and the one that I used to be near all the time closed before I ever had it, so I think I've had it once. I love strawberry lemonade.
Speaker 1:It's good, I like it.
Speaker 2:I like it a lot.
Speaker 1:A lot. Okay, we'll talk about the road.
Speaker 2:The drive home was entertaining.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so yesterday was the first time it snowed in Reno and the weather. People are just like regular or should be unemployed. They said originally that it was supposed to snow for two hours from 130 to 330.
Speaker 2:The first time I read about it said from three to midnight and it just kept fluctuating, kept changing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it slowly increased. Like I looked, it was supposed to rain, or supposed to snow, for two hours and it's supposed to snow for like five hours, but it was light. It was supposed to be an inch, yeah, and then it was supposed to be this. It was supposed to be this. It was supposed to be this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well.
Speaker 1:So I think it snowed for like 10 or 11 hours.
Speaker 2:It was shit and the drive in wasn't as bad as the drive home, but I also left early enough to where I wouldn't get stuck in, you know accidents and shit. I still got to work at the usual time, but on the way home I was driving. I left before most people work because I left early.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I left very late.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was on my way and everything was fine. I'm like, wow, this is clearly, I don't see any other cars. A couple of times in my car I could feel it trying to slip, but I I didn't panic, I recovered and kept going.
Speaker 1:You need to leave Reno. Yeah, I know it's not okay.
Speaker 2:I did. I should have panicked.
Speaker 1:I watched somebody in a CRV. I told you about it, but I watched somebody in a CRV when I was on my way to work of. Thankfully there was nobody, maybe an eighth mile in front of a man behind him, and I don't know if he just had to like, if he had a Tourette's Twitch or if he was like I have to change lanes right now. I don't know what the fuck happened If he sneezed while he was holding the wheel and forgot to let go. Whatever the fuck happened, he fully spun out all the way, like going 30, spun all the way around on the freeway, like across both lanes, and then swerves back around and like, did, like a figure eight, and ends up on the right shoulder, like of going to Reno. He ends up on the right shoulder looking at his own traffic where he came from.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then still has enough time to like oh okay, yes, I did just shit myself, I'm still alive. And then slowly turn off of the shoulder back into the road where he was. I'm like holy shit.
Speaker 2:I was telling you, I saw somebody when I was weaving here after one of the snows that we had last year on a day that we did the podcast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, on the exit ramp or whatever.
Speaker 2:Well, there was that, but there was also. Before I got to that, everything was fine. I mean, you could see, ice was everywhere and I saw this little truck in front of me and I saw the way he was driving. I thought I'm going to change lanes because this guy is going to do something stupid. I changed lanes and that guy did something stupid. He did the whole thing flipping all around and ended up off the road facing the other direction, which is good thing that I changed lane, because he went both ways before. So I would have been right. He would have been right in my path.
Speaker 1:That's it.
Speaker 2:So I did change the lane, but on the way there. So I get there in this big ramp truck. Why is past me? He's going fast, he and we get around this court curve and you see, right around that curve he's having to stop really quickly because there's cars stopped because there's an accident.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And me. I stopped. You know I had plenty of time to stop, plenty of room, because I didn't go shooting past him and he ended up in the other lane.
Speaker 1:Well that that Lockwood curve is often an issue and that's where all of that's where the accident was. So day shift, didn't they should have? Was done track traffic for, I think, seven or eight hours.
Speaker 2:Some of them didn't get home till midnight.
Speaker 1:Uh, there were some people that didn't get home till, like one or two at least. Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I, I, uh, I get up to this, I'm stopped and I see like I'm not that far back, but I can't really see the accident because there's a semi directly in front of me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, there was a semi that was jackknifed that was stopping issue, stopping us from getting home on leaving in the morning. Uh, the day shift accident was, I think, two semis hit a Honda or the accident involved two semis in a Honda. Put those together, however, you will.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then, once they got that cleared, I think there was another two or three semis that were stuck because of having to wait for so fucking long with how bad the roads were. So I think the roads were only open for like three hours before that next accident happened.
Speaker 2:Well, the accident I saw. I looked at something online and it said it happened around four in the morning. Yeah, 351. Yeah, I saw it, but I just rounded up. But, um, so I'm sitting there waiting, waiting, so it hadn't happened very long before I got there, Like one one police officer had just gotten there. Apparently Everything was blocked. Um, then we're sitting there waiting and waiting and I'm like then I see a tow truck of course we've talked about this before, what they should go Going the wrong way, Going the wrong way, Then going to the next exit and going to turn around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then taking two hours to fucking get there.
Speaker 2:And uh, he's over there and it's one of the big tow trucks, because he's going to tow a semi.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what took him so long to clear the fucking day shift issue was because they had to do that with two semis.
Speaker 2:Well, then we're sitting there for a long time and then guess what happens Another tow truck. But this one actually did it right. They were on the freeway going the direction, with no traffic, because no of Moody's moved for hours.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so he went the wrong way, which is, in this case, worked out to be the right way but then he gets there and he stops and he's a ticket for driving the wrong way on the freeway and he's just sitting there like looking at him Like you're going to have to turn it around.
Speaker 2:Do you maybe do something? I've already been sitting here for a couple of hours. I I want to go.
Speaker 1:Did you ask them if they need help?
Speaker 2:I should have, but I didn't want to get out of the car and slip and fall. But um, so then they, they get that. You see in all this time that we're all sitting there, nothing's moving, suddenly a semi is let to go through.
Speaker 1:I'm like, wait now if a semi can fit through everybody else Everybody should have been able to do this whole fucking time.
Speaker 2:And then two more semis go through and I'm like, wait, what the fuck? And we're still sitting there. This before the second tow truck showed up. Two more police cars pull up An ambulance. There's more than an hour into sitting there, an ambulance came. I'm like, well, I hope it wasn't an emergency. Yeah, no shit. And then an endot truck, like what the fuck is he going to do? Get out and look at it. Oh, looks like we got a problem here, yeah.
Speaker 1:Why weren't? This chain is, uh is three months too old. Change it Right now I think your trailer weighs too much. Well, after you fucking hook it up to the tow truck and pull it out the fucking way, then you can weigh it.
Speaker 2:Don't, don't, don't. Do all this shit in front of all these people waiting Because the line behind me kept getting bigger. Oh yeah, no it's. And once six o'clock hit it was getting even bigger.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I had told people when the day shift traffic issue was still there, at like 10 pm. Yeah, I was like, look, I don't know if I'm going to get in trouble for this, but if I can't go home when it's time to go home, I'm staying here, staying punched in, and I'll send it an email to the supervisors, if need be, and say, hey, it's not on me, not on me, I'm going to stay and get paid. Yeah, it's not my job to drive four fucking hours out of my way to get home, oh, absolutely. Or to wait eight hours in traffic, six hours in traffic like day shifted. I will get paid until I can go home.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:So thankfully there was a lot of several people that did the same thing and they were like no, that's completely understandable, dope Cause, like I was, I was about to punch out like normal and then my roommate's friend sent him a picture and was like hey, I haven't moved since five am and they were right at the Walton Patrick exit. So I'm like damn, yeah, nope.
Speaker 1:I was like I'm glad you told me about that picture. Call a couple of people that were that were leaving and I'm like hey, just you know this is happening. Like oh, it's fine. They were like I should have fucking listened, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I looked at my GPS and it was like, oh, you'll be all right, it's just 45 minutes yeah.
Speaker 1:So there's something going on with Google, because they said an hour and a half traffic for five and a half hours for the day shift issue. Yeah, google never, updated it Like wha. Whoever the fuck or whatever the fuck updates Google maps direction. Time she weighs eventually upgraded but updated.
Speaker 2:But at one point I'm looking at it, I'm like it used to say 27 minutes and I still haven't moved, but now it's down to 22 minutes. I'm going zero miles an hour. I'm not getting there any faster. Yeah, no, that doesn't work that way. No, I was, I was definitely I was pretty tired when I got home.
Speaker 1:Stop by Wendy's cause I was hungry. I hadn't eaten since midnight. Yeah, I got home at. I think 10, 15.
Speaker 2:When I got home from work, I was so hungry, so hungry.
Speaker 1:So I stopped. I had the uh, the breakfast season potatoes. I do like their season potatoes. And that's those were gone by the time I got home, cause you eat those immediately so that they can almost burn your mouth. Yeah, cause Jesus are those good. Well, if you don't eat them when they're, when they're almost going to?
Speaker 2:burn your mouth, then by the time you get home, they're.
Speaker 1:They're cold potatoes, yeah.
Speaker 2:You got cold potatoes downstairs, I'm sure Actually.
Speaker 1:I don't, oh well.
Speaker 2:Cause.
Speaker 1:I always forget I have them and then they go bad yeah, so I just throw them away.
Speaker 2:They get the eyes, yeah, but at one point though, when, when all the traffic was there and I'm watching, I'm like I see things move every once in a while, but then not. And then I see, um, like the the there was a snow plow comes pulling up and he's going super fucking slow, like what's going on here, and he's, he's a ways down. He's been up, creeping up, creeping up, and then he'd stop back up some, go forward, and he kept doing that the whole way that he drive all the way up next to the where the accident's at and do the same shit again.
Speaker 1:Maybe he was doing the salt shit out the back, and he was doing it the sand, and and he was doing it the sand and he only did it for that small part.
Speaker 2:So when we actually got past the accident it was nice no ice, no, nothing. It was just all like slush and we were going along good. And then that didn't last long, yeah, yeah, that was like. Now I'm like why couldn't he have been doing that the hours that we were all sitting here waiting for the fucking tow truck? Why'd he have to do that right when we were about to move? Do you want to know that answer?
Speaker 1:Yes, so I think I was at Reno police. Somebody put out an article saying like we didn't expect the storm to be this big. There's only eight plows that are on the road. Wow For Reno. So, I don't know if that was like if that's all there are, that's all that. They were like oh shit, everybody's on vacation still, that's in the fucking plowing industry.
Speaker 2:I saw. I saw people go, I saw people driving.
Speaker 2:I saw a couple of snow plows going the other direction, while I was sitting there waiting and in the other direction traffic was moving fine, like I knew somebody who was going to. I knew a couple of people that were going to stay late and leave it like eight in the morning and work extra hours. Yeah, because you know the next shift was going to be late. But no, they had no issues getting there. It was clear as can be. Yep, I just kept watching them go past.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I was surprised, so many people showed up on time.
Speaker 2:But then I was. We finally all got moving and you see this, the last tow truck was this one pulling the semi. And at one point I'm driving along, I'm getting alongside the semi and my car feels like it wants to slide some. So once again, I didn't panic, I did the ship and I yeah, not really a ship, I know and then, but he's, as this is all happening, he's deciding you know, it'd be a good idea to get into that lane, the lane I'm in. While I'm in it, I mean that is not a good idea. And he's got this chain on his tire that's flopping out to the side and shit, yeah, there's my car, feel like it's going to go into. I'm like this seems all bad. So I'm just trying to get ahead of him.
Speaker 1:What was it? A Walmart truck.
Speaker 2:Cause. No, it was a tow truck just a white semi truck being pulled by it, so I didn't need to be crushed by a double.
Speaker 1:That would be a confusing way to get paid from insurance. Yeah, because at that point is it the tow truck because it's on the back of the tow truck that's being towed by, or is it still covered by, like, say, it was Walmart?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:What would be covered by tow truck company or Walmart for the insurance or both?
Speaker 2:I think I just have to sue them both.
Speaker 1:I mean, maybe you should have got hit.
Speaker 2:But I made it through there, the more you know. I made it through there, and then they got over the lane directly behind me.
Speaker 1:I think that one you would have to definitely have a dash cam for, like the road conditions and like oh well, you saw an opportunity. And for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had an opportunity to want to sit more in traffic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's the way for my own tow truck. That is exactly what I wanted, yeah.
Speaker 2:I didn't want to go home and eat and take a piss. I wanted to sit in traffic longer, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, precisely.
Speaker 2:But yeah, but I was just. By the time I got home I was ready to get out of the car and not drive again for a little while. Yeah, I would imagine, yeah, Cause at least last time, when you know, by the time I got to Sparks it had been warmed up so much that I didn't have to deal with ice anymore.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cause you got home at what nine? That's when he texted me. I was right around, right around that, but but I got home like an hour after you but but I think I left five hours after you.
Speaker 2:But the uh with the time that we went to black bear you know, that's when I say everything had melted by the time I got there, so that drive wasn't as bad after we got moving, but this one shit and it just kept annoying me, cause I'm like there should be a plan in act, there should be a plan. This, this happens every fucking year. This isn't new.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's definitely not new, but they just don't know when it's going to happen.
Speaker 2:But that's why you have a contingency plan. It's called a contingency plan.
Speaker 1:It is. The contingency plan is ready. I'll be right back.
Speaker 2:I mean like, like even even our military, they have plans for even the most absurd. They do things and it's just sitting there, right, you know. So if this actually does happen, we're ready. And it also not only do they do it in case this absurd thing happens, it also gives them practice planning for things. So maybe they could plan things and, and you know, have a plan for, let's say, randomly, let's say there's a snow storm, a snow, a blizzard and a tornado at the same time.
Speaker 1:What do we do? There has been those.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm saying they look dope and let's have a plan If that happens. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but let's, or but something that happens at least once or twice a year, let's go ahead and have a plan for it. Am I out of line here? Do I? Yes, Because this is Reno. I mean, it's not like they needed seven or eight tow trucks this time. They needed two.
Speaker 1:It might really upset you knowing that there is a branch of the government not branch like a department inside of either Reno or Sparks City Development Council, whatever the fuck you want to call it Some motherfuckers that are getting paid from taxpayer money inside of Washoe County. Yeah, I think that explains it well. It's their job to do that and they don't.
Speaker 2:Oh, um, do you know what happens if I don't do my job?
Speaker 1:Yeah, uh, these people are also elected.
Speaker 2:Well, though, some of the people who do the planning, they're appointed.
Speaker 1:That's even worse, yeah.
Speaker 2:You can get rid of appointed people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'd also get rid of elected people, but not easily.
Speaker 2:And not if their name is. Gavin Newsom Nope.
Speaker 1:There wasn't enough votes. Like we just finished saying, the votes are done.
Speaker 2:Well, they're done. Oh look, hey, we've already got the results. How the fuck did you do that?
Speaker 1:Damn that sucks. You didn't have enough people. What Was?
Speaker 2:it an American Idol voting where people texted yeah.
Speaker 1:That's damn sucks. You didn't have enough votes, so we have the computers right there that we did all the votes on what computers? And turn around and they're all fucking gone.
Speaker 2:You got punch cards, See. Yeah, I don't know Now, he just had um, he just had all his friends and family throughout the entire country. I'm not really saying that they're actually friends of his but hangers on. They just texted like American Idol. Yeah, Um so you can't have a New York area code and vote for governor and for him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, that's so. That's a thing that used to be a big deal of like when you moved to a new city change your fucking area code for your cell phone. Now I don't know when it changed, but now it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2:I'm keeping 702.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure, I've had the same number since I was 1817 or 18. I like 702. It's like I don't fucking change it.
Speaker 2:Even one time when I got a new number, a new phone, they're like um, do you want 725 or 702? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Somebody told me that I'm like fuck. 725 is a fake Vegas number. Bro, get the fuck out of here, give me 702. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm going somewhere else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's, that's stupid.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want some other.
Speaker 1:Not at all. Yeah, so the plans that I was talking about is me and Mike are talking about, um, like goals for the podcast and what like where we want it to go, how we want it to start doing better and we want to build our brand doing shit and, uh, it might be moving out of this room soon because I have somebody that is going to be probably moving in and I need this room to be empty for that.
Speaker 1:Yes, so we're going to research, uh, studio video prices, rent, shit of having somebody else do 90% of the tech side, because I'm a tech person, I really don't. I don't know what it is about video editing that bothers me.
Speaker 2:But I was just thinking it probably wouldn't be good if we started an episode one day and, uh, Josh is in here saying I'm trying to fucking sleep. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1:That would be fucking amazing Because, again, guys, I thought you fucking moved this. Oh my God, why did I move here? Yeah, no, it's not gonna be okay. No, um, so also, the plan was that I was going to move back to Vegas very soon. Uh, that might not happen now because of a lot of plans that I have that I'm working on, like business, wise, personal and a bunch of other shit of like. I have a really good deal on house. I have a lot of room to work on cars. Yeah, I'm allowed to do whatever the fuck I want, whenever the fuck I want and for a pretty reasonable price. Then I don't think I'll be able to find easily if I move.
Speaker 2:No, yeah.
Speaker 1:So, and I can just fly to Vegas, and if I, when I get business shit moving how I want to, I can just go whenever the fuck I want.
Speaker 2:Um, so, It'd be better than doing it from the phone for a while too. Yeah, that doesn't always work out as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Uh. So I've been staying in Reno for a while longer at least, so I have notes here for researching a studio, rent video service prices to figure out like does someone offer everything that I want and need?
Speaker 1:that we need for the fucking podcast of we schedule, like, hey, from five to six 30, whatever hours From five to six 30. So we come in record an hour and have a little bit of setup and tear down time or fucking whatever of like, if we wanted to bring a couple of different props to set up to make the cause they just have, like hey, the studio looks good but it's not fucking us, yeah. So like, maybe we can bring a couple of things every week, like either a different shit or whatever.
Speaker 2:I can put a couple of Funko pops on the desk.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I talked about us doing something like that here, having something to do with it Just a couple of things like small, like fucking carry a bag and like set it up. So it's our studio at that point.
Speaker 2:And our universal yums every month.
Speaker 1:And then, which was supposed to be this week, but Mike said they haven't shipped anything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, normally it would have been here by the eighth, but it hasn't. Even normally it says label created, but that isn't even on their night now.
Speaker 1:Also, it's been more than a month since we posted one of those, because the last one that we got happened to be one of those unfortunate videos that didn't have audio. But it's fine, because it was fucking awful.
Speaker 2:Oh, it was so bad. Yeah, I don't think there was nothing good in it.
Speaker 1:No, like the candies that I ate, to try to get rid of the flavor of those fucking disgusting truffle chips were the best part and the candies weren't even good.
Speaker 2:I can't be more pissed off about those truffle chips, because I had such high hopes.
Speaker 1:So I threw the bag across the room. I was like just get this the fuck out of here and like tied it up. I came in the fucking room the next day because we closed the door and we left Came in the room. The next day it smelled fucking horrible in here from the egg yolk popcorn which I thought was going to be pretty good. It was the best thing in the bag, but it definitely wasn't good. So people who are listening and the truffle chips.
Speaker 2:People who are listening. Yes, he did say egg yolk popcorn. That was a thing.
Speaker 1:It would actually be pretty good if they did it right.
Speaker 2:Well, they did it way wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the truffle chips would be amazing if they did it right, but they definitely fucked up.
Speaker 2:I don't know how they fucked up truffles. I love truffles.
Speaker 1:I have no idea.
Speaker 2:I could eat a truffle right now.
Speaker 1:Like truffle fries are amazing. Yeah, truffle burgers, truffle this, truffle this.
Speaker 2:I don't like mayonnaise and I had mayonnaise with black truffle in it and I had a place in Vegas and I loved it.
Speaker 1:It's really good.
Speaker 2:I've had the expensive black truffle that they go up to your pasta and they're like would you like a little? And they're like okay, that'll be $30. I had some of that. It was so good but I didn't pay 30 bucks. It was at a booty event, so everything was in the cost to go in it was amazing.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so like say, we rent the studio for like from five to six 30s. We have an hour of record time, give or take, fucking whatever we go in, we do all that. And then they say, okay, we'll send you the files. And then the next day or two days later they send us the fully edited and fucking done, ready to upload to Buzzsprout and to YouTube, the audio and the video files, and then the raw files that we can do whatever the fuck we want with. And then I know a lot of companies that do that also offer like we'll also include, like chopping it down into I don't know between five and 10, like bite size clips that you can upload to Facebook and whatever, so that you don't have to do all that yourself either. Yeah, so if we can find something like that that is reasonably priced and we'll talk about reasonably priced later, because I don't know what the fuck that is either right now I'll have to figure that out.
Speaker 1:But it also is based on where we want this to go of. Like, start monetizing shit, cause, like I'm sure you are too, I'm tired of paying for shit, or it to just be a thing we do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we want it. Yeah, I've even actually monetized you before.
Speaker 1:If it pays for itself, dope. But I would like it to do more than pay for itself.
Speaker 2:No, me too.
Speaker 1:Because I know they fucking can.
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely For sure. That's why we need to build it, we need to get it going we need to make efforts to get more subscribers, more viewers.
Speaker 1:So research studio rent stuff is one of the things. New camera if the studio is not worth it? Yeah, because this camera, just like I fucking the light bulb that we had for a little bit that would look dope. This is an on air sign that is blue because the camera isn't fucking great.
Speaker 2:There are actual letters in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it looks like this With it off, you can read it With it on, you kind of.
Speaker 2:So you can't really teleport on air if you can't read it.
Speaker 1:I just thought it would be a cool sign to have, and we can't even fucking see it.
Speaker 2:I think it's cool sign. I like it.
Speaker 1:Then the video editing and uploading to start monetizing obviously. So we're gonna work on a plan to get that crack in and I don't know if it's gonna be like one day a week or like a couple hours here and there of getting shit actually done and then like an hour of just sit down and schedule uploads, Because what I was doing for a little bit was like I was scheduling the next day, the night before.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Of like just two uploads or two or three or whatever the fuck, and that was annoying. I was like, oh fuck, I didn't schedule tomorrow's, get out of bed and go fucking it Like if we do it all at one time for a whole fucking week.
Speaker 2:That'd be great.
Speaker 1:I think that'd be pretty easy. Or even a month. We have enough shit to do an entire fucking month Like, yeah, that would take a while to just upload and schedule. But if we sit here for a couple hours, yeah, we got enough content yeah.
Speaker 1:That doesn't have to be us together kind of thing either. Like you have the password, I have the password, so we'll work on that. The other thing I wanted to talk about and plan is one three, six and 12 month goals for the podcast. Yeah, of like what do we want it to do? Where do we want to go, how do we want to do it? Of whether it's like subscribers reach views, but like I don't know content. However, we want to aim, like how the goals are is fine, but I think having something written that we can track is gonna be a lot fucking better.
Speaker 2:We gotta get subscribers, but we gotta think of ways to get subscribers. We need to get ourselves out there.
Speaker 1:That's the other, so the one, three, six and 12 months.
Speaker 2:It'd be nice to sell some merch too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which I think I might pull that down, because that's fucking like, I think, 2015 or 20 bucks a month just to have that fucking exist.
Speaker 2:Yeah we don't need that and it's fucking nothing's happening, so I'm tired of that Actually there was another one. I was gonna tell you about that. We could go to that. We might be able to get t-shirts through. That would be T-Public.
Speaker 1:I think I've heard of it.
Speaker 2:It's independent shirt makers and they sell all sorts of things. A lot of the shirts that I wear I bought from them.
Speaker 1:Pull merch side down and cancel that subscription. So you have I'll call it a month. So if anybody's listening and you wanna oh, I wanted something and then be upset that I fucking took it down you have a month. So February 8th I'm gonna pull the merch side down.
Speaker 2:So buy all your hats and-.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hats hoodies, t-shirts. Did we do anything else? Or just hats, hoodies and t-shirts?
Speaker 2:That's all I can think of out of hand. All right, we were gonna do like mouse pads and stuff if we started moving stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right now, me and Mike are the only ones that are bought anything, so it doesn't make sense to have that as a fucking cost for no reason. But yeah, so like, once we work on the one three, six and 12 month goals, then we can break it down into like what will help us get here? And like that would like for whatever six month goal, like maybe that's get this many more subscribers, like okay, what can we do to drive that? And then what can we do to this and what can we do to this? So I think the one three, six and 12 should be not not maybe not super, super specific, but not a general. Like I wanna be popular, so, like right now, I guess that would help too. Like where are we right now?
Speaker 2:I wanna be a celebrity, yeah.
Speaker 1:I wanna be YouTube famous.
Speaker 2:I did see something on. There was a there's a radio show that they interviewed a lot of hip hop people.
Speaker 1:That was a weird fucking thing.
Speaker 2:I just saw something about it today, One of the hosts. He had the guy on twice and the second time was to make up for the first time and he went after Post Malone both times.
Speaker 1:Jesus.
Speaker 2:Like one point. He tried to trick him into saying any word. He shouldn't say yeah. And then he asked him a question about being a white rapper. He kept telling his girlfriend how oh, he's gonna leave you. There's gonna be so many women throwing them out, he's just gonna leave you. He's like why would you say, why would you do that? Why would he try? Then he tries to split up, cause this guy's also friends with Justin Bieber. So he tried to put a wedge between them.
Speaker 2:And then he also was like what do you do for BLM? What he asked him, what do you do for and I don't mean pre-global land management?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. I just thought why would you? You're not there to do that. This isn't a. You're not supposed to jump your guests on a radio show. But it actually worked out. People heard the thing and most of the comments were positive towards post Malone.
Speaker 1:That's good.
Speaker 2:But I always hear good things about him. I always hear he's a cool guy, he's always friendly to people. So it makes me wonder why this guy would you know?
Speaker 1:He just looks super fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, he does. But, like I said, I've never heard a bad thing about him. I see a lot of videos talking about how great he is, how nice he is. I mean, obviously he wouldn't, but I would have him on, I'd talk to him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, content followers.
Speaker 2:We need to get Elon on.
Speaker 1:Data. You can't even fucking track that 33.
Speaker 2:We. He was talking about Ice Ages and stuff recently on a podcast, not twice on that.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I just pulled up a bunch of stats and random shit so that we can, like, put numbers behind thoughts. So currently we have 27 YouTube subscribers, 33 TikTok followers, instagram and whatever else. I don't fully know, but it's going to be around 30 from these numbers, yeah, and five to nine views for, or downloads for, the first week of coming out. So, like we drop an episode, there's like five to nine lessons the first week. Most of the time, that's the only fucking lessons.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know Some of the episodes we get a lot more, but yeah, like a lot of people like, I think we're at 101 downloads for the first episode, which that's dope, but I think it's also been at 100 for a couple of months it hasn't moved, since we have some people that definitely listen to us regularly. Yeah, I want it to be more than just people we know personally. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2:So, like Hillary, she listens and she even has commented and liked things we've put on her Facebook. So I appreciate that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thanks Hillary and Brandon, and like thanks all the regular listeners. Don't hear this, as we fucking don't like you. We want to know what we can do better.
Speaker 2:We want to make friends for you.
Speaker 1:We want to know what we can do better and how to do more. Yeah, do you want to start at the far end or the short end of the goals? At the one month or the 12 months?
Speaker 2:The one month.
Speaker 1:Okay, so something achievable? Like obviously not like. Oh well, it's good. 10,000 subscribers in 30 days, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2:No, no, yeah, it would be nice.
Speaker 1:Because we're also not fucking buying subscribers.
Speaker 2:No, we're definitely not and we don't have a system to set up bots.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I'm good we want real people to listen.
Speaker 2:We want to make people laugh, because that's been the whole goal from the beginning.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Is to make people laugh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, to share laughter and joy. Yes, I mean, the joy is here and there, but to make people laugh. So if we're at 30-ish right now, you can double it. Just call it 60. Not like on a certain platform, like because we have 60 between TikTok and fucking YouTube. Yeah, like 60 on a single one.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:So one month 60 subscriber or follower. So if you listen, if you can go ahead and share when you subscribe, share it.
Speaker 2:None other people know.
Speaker 1:Any single platform. So three months, 60 sub follower and, I think, also People. The one month would be to be sharing at least 10 short videos a week. Yeah, because I mean that's less than two a day.
Speaker 2:And that's going to help us build. Yeah, help us build to that and when people share, we can get our listeners to share. I mean, they know people who work a lot of hours and use earbuds while they're working. Yeah that's a time killer.
Speaker 1:A big thing. A lot of people listen to podcasts on drives or at work defend like factory work and shit.
Speaker 2:But like it can kill a lot of time, it can make time go faster if you listen to. We have a lot of episodes people can listen to. You can go all the way back to the first episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can listen backwards forwards. Depends on how you have your Spotify set up. I'm sure all the rest of them do it too. It took me a while to figure out how to do that, cause I was listening to a bass my yard and I'm like stop jumping from episode seven to the most recent episode. It fucking bothers me. And I finally figured out how to make it just progress normally.
Speaker 2:They can go middle out Any way they want to go, yeah.
Speaker 1:So minimum of 10 short vids or reels per week. Anything else that we should add on the one month.
Speaker 2:That's. Those are pretty good goals right there, I think.
Speaker 1:End of the one month.
Speaker 2:Well, we should. By the end of the month, we should be able to know Full merch site, we should know what it could.
Speaker 1:The studio prices and no studio.
Speaker 2:And what location are you thinking about for a studio?
Speaker 1:Research and prices. There's the one guy that wouldn't fucking give me any information about the video stuff somewhere in Midtown-ish that I would like to not do business with just because he wouldn't tell me anything.
Speaker 2:I was thinking that too.
Speaker 1:And wouldn't respond and just wasn't pleasant as a person, so I would love to not give him business. Yeah, I think Russell's girlfriend does studio shit still. So, I can talk to her and I don't know, I haven't really looked ever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, either way, I wasn't sure how many places would have something like that.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Hopefully it's more than just that one fucking guy. Hopefully, if it is, there's the fucking answer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Okay, so three months Three months. So three months. So subscriber wise if we go from 30 to 60 in one month, not just trying to like double, double, double yeah.
Speaker 2:Obviously, we can try to go to 90 or 100.
Speaker 1:We'll call it even 100. So three months.
Speaker 2:Like you said, we don't need to just double, double, double, so we don't have to go to 120.
Speaker 1:Or 100 sub or a follower on any single platform. Um, stupid thing. It's because I fucking have my head turned, I can't hear me. So and then I think at that point we should be like solidly, solidly, able to do two or three reels a day.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Cause we have plenty of fucking stuff.
Speaker 2:Not not as one of our goals, but, um, it just occurred to me, we, we should. We need to get something to fill that barrel with again so we can try to age some liquor again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, barrel liquor. I'll put that at the top. So.
Speaker 2:I mean, either we can get the one we've talked about before or I can pick something up, or yeah, I'll see if he wasn't.
Speaker 1:He wasn't that much this week cause he got hurt, so I know. Yeah, so minimum of let's call it three a day, three shorts or REELs per day, Cause we can schedule him so we don't have to be doing stuff. It could be fucking, and if we find a company that does a lots of stuff, that's part of it. It's like they charge it all up. They fucking upload it Like this is a social media manager that would be great.
Speaker 2:So we'd have to worry about is being the talent.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and and like we'll respond to everything, like we still have control of whatever, but they deal with a lot of shit. Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 2:And if there's any errors with the sound, it's on them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they're professionals at it. So I'm sure the sound quality is gonna go up even more and the video quality is definitely gonna fucking go up. It's not gonna be like a little bit washed out like right here, like there's a little bit of film grain in the blue ones, a little bit like the, the black squares I guess it's stuff that I don't know how to do of. I'm also using a fucking 4k webcam. It's not meant for well here's quality. It's not met fat. Yeah, meant for talking to people so we can reach Star.
Speaker 2:Wars. Three months it just occurred to me that I'm wearing a Star Wars hat, but I also have a, a Flannel, which is something that George Lucas does a lot.
Speaker 1:I think normally that color.
Speaker 2:So I need to start directing.
Speaker 1:So one month, we said, to know studio research and prices, three months to have made a decision Either well, whether we're doing that or figuring out where we're moving the fucking To know which studio or what plan To record moving forward. And I'll just leave. We'll do nothing with the merch for a little bit. We'll build up interest and then have a release at some point. Yeah six months. So we went from 60 to 100, from 10 short vids a week to three a day, six months. What are you thinking for like, sub and followers?
Speaker 2:200.
Speaker 1:I want to say 250.
Speaker 2:250.
Speaker 1:250. The follower on any single platform. I'm going to put first sponsor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was going to actually mention that. I was going to say a sponsor. We know the companies that will sponsor podcast sponsors, so many.
Speaker 1:First, sponsor slash monetization. I don't think we need to keep stepping up like how many shorts and reels and shit. I think three days is solid. I have seen I don't know how I feel about it 100%, but I have seen some people that do like. So we have, like we have our channels and then they'll make like three backup accounts to start sharing like random, so that it's not all from the same channel. So the algorithms like it a little better and it gets a little more out there other than just like okay, it'll show it every now and then. It's not a bad idea, but it would be, I think, maybe a lot more to deal with. That's part of the social media.
Speaker 2:fucking manager, shit, I don't know on my on my YouTube, though, I did see one of our videos pop up and my my usual stream of things, and it was one of the ones that did not have sound, so that it was good that it popped up, but it sucked it was at the one that I told you about, and then I pulled it down. Yeah, because I put on YouTube shortly after you said that, and there it was right on the main page. Why did have to be one that didn't have sound?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was unfortunate. I actually figured that one out before. Well, I didn't figure it out, but when I was talking to them about bus route they were like yeah, hey, it doesn't have sound like fuck, why does it have the little blips? If you don't have sound, why does that blips? It bothers me a lot. But we figured it out before Colton told me, because Colton used to be the one to tell me fucking audio issues. So thanks for that, colton.
Speaker 2:But fortunately we haven't had the same kind of audio issues. Yeah, because we had some weird ones on there when he yes, so 250 subs or followers on any single platform.
Speaker 1:First, sponsor monetization. I don't know. I want to keep it still unscripted. There's a lot of people that do scripted podcasts and that's fucking no I like that.
Speaker 2:we do it unscripted because I mean I don't mind having notes, Even some of our episodes where we don't have notes for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think go better than some of the ones that we have, where we do have notes. So I would not want to. I mean, like if we got after we get subscribers then yeah, I would want those to be scripted. I mean not subscribers, I mean sponsors.
Speaker 1:More topic like more, Like crowd engagement.
Speaker 2:It'd be good if we had our subscribers telling us things they'd like to hear us talk about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so a six month more. I don't know what to call it follower engagement.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:All our engagement or content.
Speaker 2:We're talking about things that people want to hear about. They tell us someone here about you know. Yeah, we may say things that they don't agree with. I mean, just because they bring up the topic doesn't mean we're going to have the same opinion.
Speaker 1:So we're also starting at five to nine views per week. We'll just, we can just end that fucking. Per week it's five to nine views per episode.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:At one month. What do you think that should be? What should we aim for? That's going to be pretty much the same. So nine views per three months. What do you want? 15, 20.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, we're trying to get to. How many subscribers For three months?
Speaker 1:or three months a hundred.
Speaker 2:So we want to have definitely in the double digits for views per episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we'll call it 20. 20 views per episode. Do we have? How many people on Spotify follow us? Do we have that number?
Speaker 2:I don't know, I could.
Speaker 1:Can we see that number? I've never fucking looked at that.
Speaker 2:Spotify.
Speaker 1:I think is our number one stats apps and locations, the all apps. I can't pull that up on on here.
Speaker 2:See.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I was trying to look on Spotify to see if we had the.
Speaker 1:We have a Spotify login. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I just went into my Spotify account. Spotifycom brought up our thing Open to show it, We'd have something on there about it. We've got a 5.5 star rating Nice Out of six reviews, but still I didn't even know we had fucking reviews.
Speaker 1:Why were we never emailed?
Speaker 2:That's a good question.
Speaker 1:Oh podcast.
Speaker 2:It says 5.0. Gmailcom.
Speaker 1:Out of six Wrong username or password. I honestly don't know if we have an actual Spotify Spotify account.
Speaker 2:I don't know if we do.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, that's on the one month then.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because we should definitely fucking know that.
Speaker 2:We should know how many subscribers.
Speaker 1:We should know about our new podcast. We should know that we have a Spotify account. And now how many on the podcast platforms? I can't even fucking write right now. Platforms, okay, so 20 of you's per episode at the three months, six months to 250 sub goal First sponsor modernization. How many views per episode? I think in like 40 or 50.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:We'll call it 45, then 45 views, so 12 months. At six months were aiming for 250. So we're following on any single platform. So 12 months.
Speaker 2:What do you want to hit? 350. 600. I don't know. 350 would be good.
Speaker 1:Go 400. No way, it's not double, but it's not just 100 more. Yeah, 400. Double follower On any single Another subscriber we're following on any single platform. So at six months we have first sponsor modernization. We're following engagement for content. What other things should we put it at 12 months?
Speaker 2:Well, like I said, we may at least another subscriber. If we already have one subscriber, let's get a second one. We want to have more than one subscriber. We want to or 12 months, I don't know, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1:Sponsor. You mean sponsor Sponsor?
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:I'm like we're at this 12 months, not the one month, and we have one subscriber.
Speaker 2:So a sponsor.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, second sponsor Like I said, we know companies subscribe we could get a subscriber pretty quick.
Speaker 1:Second sponsor and clear. Words are hard. Clear plan on monetization. I think that'd be a good thing. It's like a good goals Like right now, like that's. I don't know how much some people that do podcasts to make Other than fucking Joe Rogan. I know that's not a attainable thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we need to go someplace in between us and where he's at, yeah, which it's definitely going to be a closer to the other side, which is fine, but so that we can get like a good idea of like where we want to be, what we want to do, what we have to do to get to where we want to be, yeah, I mean eventually, over time, our goals would get bigger, but we have to start someplace 400 sub follower on any single platform.
Speaker 1:Second sponsor and clear plan on monetization. Do you think at 12 months We'll put I don't know where? Maybe I think that would be part of the studio thing, Like a better website because the one we have now I did in like three minutes and I don't like it.
Speaker 2:The thing is that some of the some of the sponsors I said it right this time- he did. Um, I just you know, I've, I've, I've been known to do the occasional subscriptions.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And some of them they have a thing for For so people who have social media.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I mean, those are things that we could look into also, like one of them I just did recently, I did another closing subscription recently which I couldn't pass. It Is that your fourth one.
Speaker 1:No, it's all for running at the same time.
Speaker 2:No, I don't have any running, I just I got. I haven't bought one in a long time.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought you still got the shoe one.
Speaker 2:No, okay, no, that was, that was thread beast. And they sent me a pair of shoes every time. But no, this is, and this is another one that I have done in the past. But I'd gotten an email. I've been offering me half price, so I jumped on it.
Speaker 2:And they even had a stylist call me and discuss it with me. You know what styles I want and stuff like that, so I'll be having some new clothes to be wearing on the shelves, but that one like after we get. If we get enough subscribers, they could eventually send us a box for free so we could talk about it on here. Yeah, and there's others. That's a lot of places to that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so 400 subs followers. Second sponsor clear plan of monetization. I added website slash blogs. I know a lot of people fucking like blogs still, and with a transcript, all you have to do is throw it in something and there's your whole fucking blog. Yeah, um, so at 12 months like uh, I don't know a more refined website and maybe merch again.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Or refined website and maybe merch, I mean it would be nice to have Spotify give us a studio too, but yeah, we're not Joe Rogan, so yeah, um, and maybe, maybe an official logo. Yeah, I like the one. I've been thinking about that a lot lately.
Speaker 1:I like the one we came up with, but it was a super quick thrown together. Yeah, we have to have something to so that you see on either the website or on Spotify or on fucking whatever, like you don't want it to be a great out shadow, Like if you don't have a Facebook picture.
Speaker 2:Well, one of the things that we could do is we can have subscribers submit suggestions. We could also have suggestions of ours and we could post them and have people vote on which ones they want. We have people vote on on Twitter.
Speaker 1:We can do both of those. I mean depending on at what point we need a lot more fucking people than right now to have them submit stuff.
Speaker 2:I know that's what I'm saying as because you're saying that's a 12 month goal. If we get the subscribers we want to get by the 12 month goal, then we would have plenty that could submit.
Speaker 1:So new logo?
Speaker 2:Of course we'll have to have you know if it's a contest crowd submissions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's gonna have to be paperwork that it's going to be ours.
Speaker 2:So that can't come back later.
Speaker 1:We have all rights to it and fucking everything, and we can use it forever and it's not yours.
