Back On The Road to Rockford - Dinner Plus Drinks #128

SPEAKER_02 0:01

On the road again. Airplanex is on the road again. You're welcome. We're going back down to Rockford. Just can't wait for you to listen to us.

SPEAKER_01 0:16

No better way to start your day than with Nick's name.

SPEAKER_02 0:31

You guys heard it here. We're on the road to Rockford. We are very excited to be recording this episode as another road trip episode. We did one previously. And on my favorite subreddit are Gunners, Arsenal related. Oh, sure, yes. They have what's called Free Talk Friday, where anybody, you know, usually there's like rules, you can't just like, you know, shit post and things like that. Um, but we're gonna have Free Talk Friday podcast, I think, right?

SPEAKER_01 0:56

Because it's Friday and breaking news a bug just lost its life to our windshield. Boom! Just splattered there right in front of us. Isn't this exciting?

SPEAKER_02 1:06

Very exciting. We we were starting, so um, where to start? Yes, where to start?

SPEAKER_01 1:12

We we got more coffee. We did, because Nick has to try it. Spoiler alert, that's what we're gonna do. So today. We got better coffee, I would say, today.

SPEAKER_02 1:20

So obviously, you're not supposed to drink alcohol while you drive. That's illegal. Are we drinking alcohol? Frown pond. Normally, this would be the part where we drink alcohol. So instead, what we're drinking today is coffee. Two different kinds of coffee. One is gay prop coffee. Please explain that. It's collectivo coffee, and so we Bridget got that from Simple Cafe, and I was outside because there's a limited number of people, so I could just see the backs of the bag, and I saw Pride coffee. I'm like, oh, cool. Maybe it's like some special coffee for gay people for pride. I don't know. What? But like, give me that. Well, all I could see was it said pride coffee. I'm like, okay. Oh. And it was in rainbow lettering. Anybody can drink that. Well, I don't know. So I don't know. I I wanted to try it because, you know, it's good, I'm sure. Like, I like rainbow cake. Maybe I like rainbow coffee. Uh so we have what's the collectivo one?

SPEAKER_01 2:14

Um, it's Collectivo Blue Healer, which is the house coffee at Simple in Lake Geneva, and also my favorite coffee on the planet.

SPEAKER_02 2:20

And then we went to Quick Trip. Here's the recording of us uh picking out the Quick Trip coffee.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

Okay. So it's the best because people stare at you funny when you record things in a gas station at 8 a.m.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

I really did want to go up to the random guy and be like, so you're getting the uh Colombian, is that because you think it's cocaine? He was a construction guy, looks like he probably does cocaine. You're just full of all the offensive things. Oh, I mean, oh, speaking of Colombians, Shakira, stupid Gerard Piqué, cheats on her. They're getting divorced. Whoa. Who cheats on Shakira? What? What? Yes.

SPEAKER_01 2:55

I saw a Shakira news article about J-Lo and Shakira sharing the stage for something, and J-Lo was so angry about it.

SPEAKER_02 3:01

Oh, yeah, that was at the Super Bowl. Was it? Okay. I don't know. That's my latest Shakira ones. It was like Beyonce, Shakira, and J-Lo together. I was like, oh. Oh, was it Beyonce? Maybe it was Beyonce. I have no idea. That was one sort of talent. Let me tell you, there were some hips not lying at that.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

Whoa, you guys.

SPEAKER_02 3:18

Whoa. Okay. I haven't even gone into the coffee station.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

He hasn't even had any caffeine, so um, they're both dark roast, as you heard. Um we thought that would be best, right? Apples to apples. They are scalding hot, so Nick is not only driving, recording a podcast, and braving, braving black scalding hot coffee just for you guys.

SPEAKER_02 3:36

Uh, this is very hot. Do you need to wait a minute? Let me hear this one out. Yeah, let's let's wait a minute.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

We're gonna let Nick, we're gonna air out the coffees. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 3:43

Well, um, so we were talking about lawn mowing though, too. We figured we should save that discussion for the podcast.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

Because we know you love to hear about how old we are.

SPEAKER_02 3:54

I have five acres of lawn to mow. Well, you know, there's a house on some of it, so maybe it's closer to four acres. Um, but we uh we've had a lot of rain recently, which has been good for the trees I planted. Very grateful for that. Beautiful. And we're gonna have a little bit of sun and some not sun time. Um so it was very much so like the glass grass was long enough. I do try to keep it a little longer for health, and we're in a very sunny, no trees area, so it needs to be a little longer so it doesn't dry out and die. But like if I don't cut it today, it could be not cut for another five days, and then it's gonna be an overgrown swamp, and then that's bad for the grass, bad for the mower, looks bad, all those things. So I cut it last night, got done late, you know.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

But how long does it take you to mow all the eggs? About four hours. That's insane. I have nothing else to say about that. I love mowing the lawn, but I don't have time for that. Some people golf, I mow the lawn. It's so funny.

SPEAKER_02 4:52

Some people golf for four hours, I mow the lawn. Eventually, it will get to a point where it's not weeds, it's grass, and it'll keep itself at a sustainable level. But until we get there, we have to just keep mowing it to knock back weeds, let the grass overtake it. Um, or I can pay tens of thousands of dollars to have someone tear it off and plant grass seed, put hay over it, fertilize it, water it. So no, instead we're just gonna do mowing.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

Listen, here's what I have to say about growing grass. Um, we pulled out this giant like bush of sorts when we moved into our house. It was just like spreading and awful and pokey and ugly. We paid some people to come pull it out, right? And then we just were like haphazardly gonna throw some grass seed down. We're watching all of our neighbors who care much more about their lawn, like hay and grass seed and water. We did nothing. No joke, we've sprinkled some grass seed, and it worked perfectly fine. That's like I mean it was a little patchy the first year, but now it's perfectly fine. Isn't yours shaded though? No, well, the I mean there's a tree above it, so it's shaded, but like that front side of the house gets direct sun. So I don't know, maybe it's a mixture. I'll have to check out that corner of the house. We have a lot of birds. Oh, that eat the grass seed? Yeah. Anyway, I thought it was funny. We're we're in the um, I was like, hey Nick, here's the trouble we're having. I don't know. If we mow our lawn, we pay someone to mow our lawn because ain't nobody got time for that. I like to do it, but whatever. We pay someone, he actually went to our high school. Really nice guy if you need lawn care. Kevin Loafy does our lawn, lovely. And he um he we used to have someone come every week. Well, our neighbor used to do it, so he would just mow ride his mower across the street and mow our lawn. They moved sadly. So if you come every week, I just feel like I'm wasting money, right? And I'm like, this is stupid. So I said come every two weeks, every other week. But it hits this point, it depends on the rain. Yeah, so now today it's like oh, it really needs to be mowed, but he comes on Mondays, so it's like, oh, we have to all weekend of it. So I'm like, could you just come every week and a half? Which no, he can't. That's annoying for his schedule, and I respect that. But damn, I don't know what to do, Nick.

SPEAKER_02 7:01

My dad had a situation where he switched lawnscaping companies this year because he he has enough money he can pay someone to do his lawn. Um and they like we're gonna start it sometime, but the grass grew faster than everybody thought. So my dad mowed it the first time by himself. And the guy came out to like just he's like, I can just do this one, you know. I got time on schedule, so I was already mowed. Thought my dad was mad at him. Oh my god, there is drama, man. Like, so it was my dad's like, no, no, not mad at you. Just like I knew you like couldn't do it this week and I had time, so I did it. And but he does have the situation with this guy where he's like, hey, throw in an extra one if it needs it. I think he's on that every other week too with a throw in an extra one if it needs an extra one and you can get it.

SPEAKER_01 7:45

Oh damn. Okay, well, whatever. I'm just gonna hold it out. I'm gonna stick it out till Monday, guys.

SPEAKER_02 7:51

I was reading about Janet Gellen's commentary, Treasury Secretary, uh, to the something yesterday. To someone. Uh, because inflation came, numbers came out and they're terrible. Terrible. Yes. Um, and I love my favorite thing about all of this economic reporting and these people living in their ivory towers, is they're like, well, you know, if you strip out volatile things like fuel and gas and housing, it's not that bad. Just strip those things out. To which I say, hey guys that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars to do nothing, wear suits, and you know, not have a real job and like have enough money or insulate from this stuff. 97% of Americans that's the only thing that matters. The price of industrial machinery doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_01 8:42

I just need to be able to fill my car with gas to get to my low-paying job.

SPEAKER_02 8:45

So Janet Yellen said unemployment's generally low. I don't understand why people are so pessimistic about the economy. That's a direct quote.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

Oh, come on.

SPEAKER_02 8:56

To which I say, um, are you stupid?

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Um, I've done the really mature thing this week and buried my head in the sand and ignored all the real world because, like, whoa, first week of summer out of school has been a lot.

SPEAKER_02 9:11

I just wanted to check the inflation number because I wanted to see kind of where we're at with some stuff. I saw it come across on my news feet this morning. And I wanted to see what my I-bonds are gonna pay. I don't know if I've recommended i bonds on here before, but they're paying a lot of money. You may have heard about this. You can put 10 grand in and you are going to get it back.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

No, I haven't heard about it. Yes, I have from you. Yep. It says my breaking news that came across inflation climbs at the fastest pace since 1981, as latest government report on consumer prices coming at 8.6%, pushed up by record gas prices.

SPEAKER_02 9:44

I just think these old white people, because Janet Yell, and you can't even say old white dude, like, hey guys, it's not the 1980s anymore. Like these things that you think matter, and like I've had to adjust in my job, and you know, obviously dragged you along with it. Uh thank you. Everything I knew from 15 years of experience and everything I thought was true is no longer true. It's just completely different. So it's all just a guessing game now, guys. It's all just a guessing game, and if you're doing like any type of well, rationally, this is what should be happening, and based on our experience from the 90s, is you're wrong. You're wrong. Technology has changed so much, the way people communicate and act is so different. Like, you can't do a 15-second video anymore. You have to do a seven-second video. Thank you, TikTok.

SPEAKER_01 10:31

Thank you, TikTok. I do believe TikTok is going to be the end of all of our lives. I agree.

SPEAKER_02 10:36

I agree.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

This podcast is just gonna be entitled How Old We Are.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

Um, I had some other how old we are situations. Did you? Yeah, but I can't remember all of that.

SPEAKER_01 10:47

Oh, damn it. You know what I did this week? I had an outing with the PTO moms. Holy cow! And they all agreed that I'm gonna end up PTO president, and I said, no, I do not wanna be, I am no, I'm not committing to more things.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

You can put that on your LinkedIn.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

PTO president! No, I will not.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

So speaking of TikTok, I saw uh a funny one that was 60 seconds long. You know, that's my millennial attention span. But it was like Wisconsin women discussing red flags slash green flags.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

I saw that!

SPEAKER_02 11:18

And Green Bay Packers shareholder on your LinkedIn. Like, can't you totally see Wisconsin up north type of people putting like oh I'm a shareholder. This is my job.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

Um, I'm not a shareholder.

SPEAKER_02 11:33

I thought about it, and you know what tipped it for me as like 200 bucks, like honestly, it'd be kind of cool. Like, I do support the Packers. It's like $67 to then get this thing shipped to you. Is it really? Yeah, so this is like so cheap and so stupid. I think it went up to $250 this time, but it's like, okay, here's my $250, I get it. If you want the certificate, they charge you like some insane amount, they charge you like a processing fee, a shipping fee, a handling. Like Ticketmaster. Yeah, and then like if you want to have it framed with their like nice frame, you know, that's an insane amount of money, which like framing I get a little bit. Yeah, but what? Just buy a frame for IKEA, people. But it's like, can't you like if I just gave you $250 for literally nothing? Literally this piece of paper, can't you just front the shipping for me?

SPEAKER_01 12:15

Or just include it in the price so you're not nickel. So you have to pay for a paper certificate. Can they email it to you? Can you get a digital copy? Uh, that's a good question. I don't know. Come on, three good hackers. Make me pay five dollars extra for a digital copy, which is pure profit for me for you. I don't well, I guess no. You have to pay someone to change the name. I I mean mail merge that, right?

SPEAKER_02 12:36

Sure. I don't know. That could be a mail merge. The whole thing is stupid. Oh, there's a slumber land over here now.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

There is, it's new, and there's like a freight tools something. Harbor Freight. Yeah, harbor freight. Right by Goodwill. We are driving past Goodwill, everybody. Man, we should have stopped in there for a big quick trip. Did I tell you the rumor I heard? I'm gonna keep spreading this rumor everywhere. I think it's just a rumor, sadly. I heard that a Goodwill was coming to Lake Geneva. Man, that would be a bougie Goodwill. Well, everyone hates on me when I say I'm going to the Delivin Goodwill, but I'm like, hello, it's the closest one in the Lake Geneva area. But where do you think everyone donates their shit?

SPEAKER_02 13:11

And this side of the lake is the more expensive side of the lake. I always Sarah, my beautiful wife, and talented and smart and hardworking, not just beautiful, because women are more than their lux. Oh boy, no. Sorry, I need to make sure I acknowledge that. I'm Walk. She's um she's originally from Fontana, the Richie of the thing. And it always blew my mind that she's like, oh, I went to Delvin for this, I went to Delvin for this, or she would like go to Janesville to go to the mall. And because I'm like, don't you go to Walking? She's like, no, we go to Janesville. I'm like, the Walworth in Lake Street do this, she's like, I've never been there. I just go to the Delphine. I'm like, what? So Delavin, like, nice enough area, but doesn't have a great rap. So like I go to Delvin only for goodwill. It's the ri Fontana, Williams Bay, Walworth is like the richer part of the lake, Walworth isn't, but like Williams Bay, Fontana. Fontana. And they all go to the cheapest town more or less in Walmart County for shopping. I mean, Sharon is the one that's really, you know, but they don't have any.

SPEAKER_01 14:14

So it's like, why it makes no sense to me? I guess I'm a little surprised for that reason only that there's no Target yet. But Target doesn't, you know, isn't as populous as Walmart. That is true. But Shannon, when she lived in Williams Bay, same thing. So well, I'm just gonna run to Delavan. I'm like, run to Delavan? That's like 22 minutes away for me.

SPEAKER_02 14:32

I hate driving to Delavan. I agree, because there's no good choice. You have to do uh two freeways where you go dead northwest, dead southeast, or dead, yeah. Yeah. And like, so you're taking like 40, you're making a triangle to get to someplace, or you're going on highway 50, which might take you 15 minutes or might like a two-lane. Might take you 70 minutes. Yes. You never know. You never know. Because there might and there's cops all over it that are like happy to small town cops, happy to write you tickets for going like four miles per hour over the hill, like it's a downhill, like steep downhill that goes 55, 45, 35, 25 in the space of like 100 feet.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

It's great. Small town man.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

I was talking to my friend Kyle, who is a uh public defender in Illinois. Illinois. And we were talking about dumb speeding tickets and like copying plea deals and stuff, and he said in Illinois, so I got a ticket once for like you could s like you could see the speed limit side going up and I started accelerating, but you know, in Wisconsin, it's an indivisible line, and it's not that's he said in Illinois if you can see the speed limit side, that's the speed limit.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

Is that right? Yeah, okay. I actually remember asking this question to Mr. Yeager during driver's ed. When can I speed up? He's like, well, as soon as you get to the sign. I'm like, that is ridiculous. It's just, you know, a revenue generation. Like, but on the highway, make sure you're sped up by the time you get on. Yes. But I couldn't see the sign yet. It's good times. Very confusing. Um, speaking of police, I spent some time on the scanner page today. Oh god. And all I can say, so in my life, this week has been wildin'. It's the first week of summer that kids have been out, and I already on day two, on Tuesday of this week, I said, is summer over yet? Like, it has just been bonkers of like kids are crazy. What is bedtime? Does that even exist anymore? We go to soccer to this thing to that thing. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

There's a like model T Ford model T T. Whoa. Old pickup truck.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

Class of 1918.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

Whoa. 3,870 pound total uh weight capacity, including the truck itself. It can get 1,870 pounds in it.

SPEAKER_01 16:46

You never know what you're gonna see on the highway.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

I think I could get more than that in this little Tiguan.

SPEAKER_01 16:51

Um, okay, so I went on the scanner because you know it's what I like to do. I was helping our friends at the cheese shop, and uh like a police car went by at like almost midnight, so I was just like, ooh, what is it? The scanner page is also insane. You look at it and you're like, oh, it's summer. Like, there's just shit, stupid shit happening everywhere. There was like police chase, some kid, 18-year-old, got pulled out of the water recently, one recently didn't make it out already. We're having we've had two drownings, and you know, just all like you can just if you need a gauge of what it's like in Lake Geneva in the summer, just look at the scanner page and you're like, oh damn.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

We had the conversation recently, another get off my lawn situation that people are driving more and more and more and more and more like idiots in Lake Geneva, just like whipping U-turns in the middle of the street, yeah, pulling shitty parking spots, racing to stop lights, like cutting off turning on reds, like all of it, like where is our decorum? What is happening to America? I thought we were making America great again. I mean, I'm gonna MAGA by teaching people polite driving skills.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

Polite driving skills. I want to make a knockoff MAGA hat. I know it's been done. I love, I saw someone very, very with some kind of very liberal saying on a MAGA hat though. Like, I mean it looked like a MAGA hat. I read it and it wasn't. I don't remember what it was, but I want to make like a blue one. So it's like very clearly it's not a MAGA hat, but it's making fun of it. Because, you know.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

Speaking of pride, have you seen of pride? Uh the MAGA ones that are rainbow couple colored but are Make America Gay again? No, but I want one. Yeah, those are fun. Because you can imagine like how you've seen Pride Parades where people protest them and the marchers are very happy to do all the stereotypical dancing and moves in front of the protesters. Can you imagine wearing a MAGA hat that's rainbow colored and make America Gay Again to I love that? A situation where a lot of people are unironically wearing MAGA hats.

SPEAKER_01 18:51

Unironically, it's that's lovely. Um, our lovely Clearwater outdoor on Main Street in Lake Geneva. I was in there the other day buying my annual uh birthday gift for Tyler from Clearwater. Happy belated birthday, Tyler. Happy belated birthday.

SPEAKER_02 19:06

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. What is it? What is it? 55. 45! Whoa! Whoa! I didn't even notice. Two stuff, two speed limit sides. We're gonna go through so construction zone. So there's one sign that says at the very exact same thing. On one side of the road says 55 and the other says 45. I think I should drive 130 and get pulled over and say, like, I added them up.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

Also, 45 is ridiculously slow to be on a highway like this. Like on a I'm sorry, that's a little too slow. There's no one working. There are things that are.

SPEAKER_02 19:36

So this is a law change I would like to make as well. If there is no one working, it's not a work zone. Correct. And I actually think that would be a good law because it would stress the importance of like, look, we get it. It's if laws aren't enforced, no one does them. So, like, this is a BS law. So if you're like it's only a work zone if people are working. Yeah. And then really drop the hammer when people work.

SPEAKER_01 19:56

Yeah, because that is safety for someone's life. Yeah, I get that. But this, there's literally just some like haphazardly placed cones on the highway.

SPEAKER_02 20:01

And it's because we've outsourced all of our road construction to private companies, including things like who can rent out barrels the cheapest. If you know how you rent barrels out the cheapest, you drop them off at one time before the project starts, and then you drop pick them all up at the end. So because it's less man hours, it's you know.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

Oh, so I've had to rent barricades once. That was a fascinating adventure. Make congratulations, you saved a thousand dollars and you made everyone's life. Okay, I'm having flashbacks now to I got a ticket once. I don't know how old I was, but young enough to have my mom come with me to court when I fought the ticket. Because I remember I had to go to court on my birthday. I cried a lot, and it was, I think I got a ticket in a construction zone, but no one was present. And I fought it and I won. So I think they still took the points or whatever off my license, but I didn't have to pay the ticket or something, you know, whatever it was. Because you know, they can inflate the prices like crazy when you're in a wood, like the ticket price. I don't remember the details. I just like can see myself walking into the courthouse. I feel like it was in northern Illinois somewhere, like you know, McHenry area or something.

SPEAKER_02 21:03

There's just some dude driving down the closed highway. Whatever.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

Maybe he's dropping cones.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

Dodge. Maybe he dropped all the cones, man. So do you remember the first time gas spiked when we were like maybe 20 or so?

SPEAKER_01 21:17

9-11, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_02 21:18

Um, that wasn't that big of a spike, but like remember when it hit three dollars?

SPEAKER_01 21:22

I only remember 9-11 because people waited in lines at gas stations. I don't remember three dollars to be honest.

SPEAKER_02 21:28

But like people stopped buying trucks, people stopped buying SUVs, like that's what trucks cratered. Yeah, nobody's changing their driving habits right now.

SPEAKER_01 21:36

I agree. I've thought about it because my car is not incredibly efficient in gas, and I'm like, I don't care. My car fits my family, it's comfortable, it's safe, it's you know.

SPEAKER_02 21:45

People are still buying pickup trucks like crazy. Like that guy who has this lift kit, pickup truck. Like, you need a lift kit if you're on a farm, yeah, because you're in a muddy field. The end. That's why I think I actually so New Zealand this is a no joke, not the Onion thing, they're starting to tax um farmers for methane emissions of their animals because they're like super serious about climate change. Yeah. Which, like, fine, whatever, it's just gonna inflate food prices. The head of the farmer thing is like, we get it, you know, we want to participate. This, you know, we believe in sustainable agriculture. You know, there's a few things we don't like, but we appreciate the government's like made it so that we can it's not punitive. Um, so I think there should be a tax on if you want a pickup truck and you don't actually need one. Uh, how do you determine if you need one? I think so. This is also what I think should be like guns. Like if you need to like, if you want a handgun, you need to prove you need a handgun, right? Like someone actually might murder you. Well uh complicated. Like, I think it should be like if you have a job that requires it or something. I don't know, like I don't know. They just take up too much space on parking spots, people don't know how to drive them. Like your dad needs one. Pool blue needs one valid work reason.

SPEAKER_01 22:56

That's true. They're building a pool up by my house. Did I tell you this? No. So I drive at the top of the hill. Uh yeah, so I drive past every day, and we went and visited the construction site yesterday. That'd be exciting for me. Yeah, Elliot. I had to like drag him out of there. I was like, it's time to go to T-ball, kid. Day two. He already said, Can I not go to T-ball? And I'm like, No. No, buddy, you got like a month and a half left of this, so I had to have the like you're committed to a team talk. It's great. Day two. How many times do you think I'm gonna have to do it the rest of the summer? But I'm telling you, this week, man, what the adjustment. I I got it like okay, Elliot is me in the in the routine aspect of his life, which I'm sorry, but he's wound tight in that way. So his whole routine changed this week, which he's loved spending extra time with grandma and staying up late, but he doesn't love when I make him go to a T ball or soccer.

SPEAKER_02 23:45

We um we also are routine people, it's tough tough to break it.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

I know. I think about you guys with younger kids, you specifically and Shannon, and I'm like, your life is gonna be shooketh when you start the school year, and I just wish someone would have warned me, and no one warned me. So I'm warning all of you if you don't have people in the school system, or if you don't have kids in the school system yet, whoa. Whoa. And I keep saying I'm waiting for Lucy to get out of daycare and go in the school system, which I'm excited for, but next summer, I already thought next summer Elliot will be in a different baseball league, and Lucy will be in a younger. So we will be at the baseball fields Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And that's gonna be rough with Elliot, because like Elliot's not gonna watch Lucy. No, so like Tyler and I are just gonna have to split. I don't know. Eventually you have to do that, right? If you have two kids, I guess you just have to split, divide and conquer. Anyway, I've got a girl's night with Lucy tonight. Hooray! Yeah, exciting stuff. We do try and have one-on-one time with the kids. Uh Tyler's got a Tyler's got a boys' night with Ellie, and I got a girl's night with Lucy. We're going out to dinner with one of my Laura Cuckoo, one of our very good friends, she's babysitting her niece. So we're having a kid-friendly dinner party. Where should we go? Um nowhere. Don't go out in public with your children.

SPEAKER_02 24:58

Uh, speaking of police, have you seen great segue, yes? No, we've been talking about police. Yes. I'm texting you something that you're gonna read through these. Oh, okay. Um, did you see the SUV that the Milwaukee County Sheriffs are using? That's like a just like uh a suburban, like a maroon one, and they put the like seven kid stickers on it, and so it looks like you know a mom hauler, but it's actually an undercover police car. No, yeah, so they have you know, the like, I think it's really shitty. Why? And well, because a lot of people, so Reddit's all over it, and people are like, if that car pulled me over, it doesn't have like any real noticeable sirens, doesn't have the official plates, and looks like you know, somebody just somebody's real car. Yeah. That's how you get raped. Oh. Like I do think about this. Like, drive to the police station, say, like, hey, there's a maroon thing that does not at all look like a police car trying to pull me over.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

I know the Kia boys are doing this to try and like Wow, that's a really good point because I think about this with all the crime podcasts I listen to. You know, they're like, if it doesn't look like a police car, you know, make them show your badge. Well, I don't know what a real police badge looks like compared to a fake one. Like, you know, if they just flash it at you, oh, that's scary.

SPEAKER_02 26:08

Well, and that's one of the arguments that people have that are into like criminal justice that are like, this is why undercover police stings and things like that are such a bad idea because you delegitimize who the police are, and you make people question, are you a cop or not?

SPEAKER_01 26:23

And then, like But also, like, how else do you do these? I don't know. Raids. I mean, have a marked car. Yes, but I I don't know. Sometimes, again, on you know, real life TV shows I'm watching, okay, they're all fake, I I get it. But like, when cops, I'm like, aren't you trying to sneak up on somebody who you know is doing a bad thing in that house? Like, why are you coming in with marked cars and lights and sirens? How are you gonna get them? Element of surprise is all you've got. I I don't know. Also, overwhelming firepower. Well, uh no way, man. If that house is full of drugs and guns, they've got firepower. They're just gonna shoot you through their front door.

SPEAKER_02 27:00

Have you never seen a cop show, Nick? So I sent you a list of unbelievable but true facts of Milwaukee. Normally I would read them to you and say, React. But you can read them since I'm driving.

SPEAKER_01 27:12

Nick is driving. Okay. I thought some of these were like incredible. This is what are your historical, cultural, weird, creepy, etc. fun facts about Milwaukee. You're gonna love this one. The Milwaukee Wave is the oldest pro soccer team in the US. Isn't that crazy? They played in like five different leagues, but they've always been going. I mean, I worked for the Wave for the building that uh not for the Wave, for the building that hosted the Wave. And I always thought it was so cool. And like, no one goes to those games. Like, you guys can get a ticket for like $15. Just like come and sit in the front row, and they're great. Do you guys have you been to Wave Game? Not for a long time. Ah, well, you should check it out, man. Um, this is funny. I know this one. Mitchell Airport has the world only designated recombobulation area.

SPEAKER_02 27:57

I love that.

SPEAKER_01 27:58

I'm sure it may exist in other airports, but only we have the signs designating it. What do you think I found at Goodwill one day? A shirt that says recombobulation area. It's just black with white letters. It's the most ridiculous shirt. Obviously, I had to buy it. Okay. Oh, I did oh, I did know this. Okay. This person included a source. Thank you. Thank you. There is a lake, Lake Emily, hidden under the Northwestern Mutual building downtown. Yes, I read about this, and she um, he, she, I don't know, Dweezel Poussian, um, included an article from onlyinyourstate.com. So, you know. Well, only in your state.com isn't exactly. I know, it's not exactly.

SPEAKER_02 28:37

Oh my gosh, we got featured in in uh only inyeourstate.com.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

We did a great job of like No, only in your state is a crowdsourcing, but still. Um, okay, the Milwaukee Milwaukee County Stadium, so where the Brewers used to play. I have fond memories of going to County Stadium. Oh, I don't know, it's a dump. Oh my god, but okay, well, I have memories for a different reason. It was a dump. Um, but so is Wrigley Field, and people love it. I hate it. Wrigley Field is a dump. Milwaukee County Stadium is on the front cover of the first issue of Sports Illustrated. That is awesome!

unknown 29:08

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 29:09

I don't know, is this true? I don't know. I mean, it's gotta be, it's on Reddit. It's gotta be true. Okay, I just I just lost my spot. Okay, the Basilica of St. Joseph out was constructed out of an old Chicago Central Post Office that was sinking. What? It the the entirety of it was trained from Chicago to Milwaukee and was repurposed to build the basilica. I believe there are still doorknobs in the building that say United States Post Office on them. Someone that lives in Milwaukee, go check that out. And or we'll have to take a road trip to Milwaukee to check that out. Dude, that's awesome! That is awesome. Okay, okay. It is a um it's an important place Milwaukee, it's an important place in the history of the typewriter, and it's the birthplace of the Quirty keyboard like. I knew this. You did? Yeah. The creator of which, Christopher Scholes, is buried in Forrest Home Cemetery, and of course it's the site of Teddy Roosevelt's infamous assassination attempt of 1912. Wait, what do you know about this QWERTY keyboard?

SPEAKER_02 30:06

So there's like a crazy amount of weird tech history in Milwaukee. So, like, somehow we got some German dude or something that like invented mechanical keyboards, but you know, QWERTY was invented to slow people down so you wouldn't break the keys because the levers could only go so fast. So, like QWERTY literally is an inefficient keyboard layout. Really? Yeah, but it was purposefully inefficient so that you could um the mechanical levers of a keyboard wouldn't break, you couldn't go so fast as to overload them basically. Um, like the zip dot zip file format, like the idea of zip, that was invented by a Milwaukee software company. What? There's that like A-B test data up by the beer garden Condil. Like they've done a crazy amount of stuff that you're like, wait, really? Uh FiServe, the world's largest fintech company, more or less, that my wife used to work for, headquartered in Brookfield.

SPEAKER_01 30:58

Um and it says here the ATM was invented here. I know that's not exactly tech, but it's tech, yeah. I mean, and it's MetaVante programmed the actual code.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

Yep, and that's uh MetaVante is uh a company that Sarah worked for as well now. Yeah. Got bought by FIS.

SPEAKER_01 31:14

Um, MetaVante that programmed the actual code for the time. Remember a time machine? Yeah. Like many Milwaukeeans and me refer to it as time machines, and that's take your money everywhere, which is T Y-M-E. Awesome. Not like Dr. W style. I should say T Y-M-E. Okay, that's amazing. Um, this one I love, and I know because like Milwaukee's very proud of their Cream City brick, but Milwaukee's Cream City nickname has nothing to do with dairy. Do people think it has to do with dairy? I think so, because like the brick is disappearing a little bit. Oh my god, I've never thought that, but that's because I lived there. In the 19th century, the nickname when the nickname came to be, the city was full of buildings made of unusually cream-colored brick made from local clay. So some of the buildings are still around, but yeah, you're right, it's disappearing or the brick, like the clay has darkened over time. So, but it has nothing. I don't know if people thought it had to do with dairy.

SPEAKER_02 32:04

I love the um Bucks uniforms when they do like the city edition ones. Yeah, too. The cream city ones. The cream city with the blue. Yeah, and they have the cream and colored. Yeah, those are my favorite ones.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

I want a hoodie with that. Tyler, are you listening? What's this guy? Yeah, let's watch. What do you think they're carrying? Gas? Dairy product? We're referring to a tanker on the road next to us now. That's special liquid waste. Ew, a special waste hauler. Gross. Okay, we're gonna go through a couple more of these and then we have to circle back to Nick's coffee. Yeah, we gotta get a coffee, yeah. I need a donut while we're having our coffee. Okay, um, Milwaukee City Hall.

SPEAKER_02 32:41

It says the correct tallest building in the world for a long time. How do you know that? Uh, I'm very interested in tall buildings and like reading random crap on Wikipedia. And so there's like weird. I wanna say like a 12-year span or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 32:54

1895 to 1899. Oh, wow. Although, you know, again, please note, none of these are fact-checked as we are in a car reading a Reddit thread.

SPEAKER_02 33:01

But like, how crazy is that? World's tallest building, not like Wow, you know, and it's the world's tallest. It's pretty tall because the spire counts.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

Yeah, I guess. It's a beautiful building. It is a beautiful building. I love when they do very um prideful things and hang their flag, like the 414 flag. They messed up what they let be built around it though. Oh, for sure. I agree, because it is, you know, it's right downtown, but it's a whole bunch of boring office buildings around it. I mean, there's a couple cool buildings.

SPEAKER_02 33:30

They they like have they have buildings that like tried to be cool with like how they like angled glass or like.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

Yes, but they're dated already looking.

SPEAKER_02 33:38

It's stuff like we had a our local uh chamber of commerce for the county rebranded, and we both said, like, oh, it's fine, but it's gonna look dated in five years. Yes. And those buildings were like, as soon as they were built, you're like, okay, it looks fine, but it's gonna look like you tried too hard, it's gonna be dated in.

SPEAKER_01 33:55

Like they look like we're from the 80s. Yeah. You know, I can picture, yeah, that's exactly the building, and not dated in a good way. Yeah. Um, this one I love for all you uh super nerds, and I'm not trying to be offensive out there. You're married to one. Marquette University has a huge JRR Tolkien. Tolkien? I didn't know. Oh, the library, yeah. Yeah, collection of drafts and manuscripts and other writings, mostly from the Hobbit and Lord of the Ring books.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

So that's the Catholic Jesuit connection. Yep. And I stumbled on this, so when I was a law student, um, I would go to the undergrad library a lot because there's better study space in there because um the they were building a new law school, there it wasn't big enough, so the study space were better. So I'd go over to the undergrad one. Um, and it's like two buildings, and down in the basement, like in a tunnel, there's just like room. I'm like, what is this? This looks like a good quiet place to stay. And they're like, I was like, oh wait, there's like Tolkien stuff all over. This is cool.

SPEAKER_01 34:48

Yeah, they're doing um in starting in August through December, the Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette is doing an exhibit. Nice. So you should check it out, people. I feel like that, I mean, like, that should draw people from outside.

SPEAKER_02 35:00

Tyler has a wizard cape he could wear because brothers.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

Oh, wow. They could all come and visit. Um, this one is pretty obvious if you've ever visited or if you um know anything about Milwaukee history. The building that Collectivo, the one on the lake front, it was. This is a toll road. I forgot my eye pass. Oh no! Just go through and do it online. Yep, that's what I do. Um, so the collective collectivo on the lakefront, beautiful building, originally built to act as a toilet pump or a toilet to pump more water into the Milwaukee River and flush the turds out into the lake. It it is an old pumping station. So there is, um, if you go in one of the side rooms in the building, there is like you can kind of see that part of the building and they have a whole little history information. So that one's that's pretty cool because it is a gorgeous building. It is very gorgeous. Um, so it's funny to be like, oh, you are a shit station. Um oh, here's the zip archive file format was created here. Oh, by PK Ware. Alright. Um, let's see, let me find some. Whoa, this one is a long thing, but I'm gonna read it because it's interesting and fascinating. Jones Island was once the site of a fishing village made up mostly of hazubs, a group from northern Poland. It was populated up until the 40s. What the entrance to the port is under the Hone Bridge, it's not it was not the original spot. It was naturally occurring on the south side of Jones Island, but that was too far from downtown, so a canal was dredged in the 1850s. What? So there's really cool water history in Milwaukee, too, which is why so they go on to say we had the first public indoor swimming pool in the country, and for a brief time in the 80s, it was turned into a restaurant that boasted eating next to live dolphins. What? What? Which were enclosed in the old pool, so shockingly it didn't last very long. How much cocaine was sold out of that restaurant?

SPEAKER_02 36:48

Um I think so Milwaukee recently got destroyed on Twitter, and then there was a subsequent discussion on the Milwaukee Reddit. Wait, why? Um, because the Wisconsin DOT had like some summer intern put a picture of like some repaving work on the 794 interchange, like down to the hone. Sure. And like how 794 is the greatest thing, which is like the worst example of a bad urban freeway. And urbanism Twitter went insane on destroying Milwaukee and like showing all these like here's what a boulevard would actually look like, here's what opening up the in front. And then Reddit went nuts on knocked down the hone bridge, which I know is Noah because they're like, what if we did this? What if we did this? And they're everybody's like, no, they lit it, it's too sentimental, it's on all the shirts, it's not gonna get knocked down.

SPEAKER_01 37:34

So, okay, I used to work for the study abroad office in college, and I had to go pick up a kid from Ireland uh at the airport, and they they said, make sure you take the the pretty way back or something, you know? Like, but I didn't know what that was because I just like grew up going the same way to and from the airport. Well, the pretty way is over the home bridge where you're like alongside the you know, that's always my memory. That's my first like memory of the honey and yes, now there it holds much deeper meaning. We have a light dedicated on the hone. I bought one for Myan Tyler's anniversary one year. Aww. Yeah. Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 38:07

So I believe it's named after Daniel Hone, who was one of the three founders, right? So there's like Kilburn Town, yeah, Juno Town, and like Home Town, and they all hated each other, and like we're on separate sides of the rivers, and that's why all the streets don't line up because like every everybody made their streets like not line up with the other person who was like they were mad at each other. Choose my town!

SPEAKER_01 38:27

Now we're all one big segregated town. Alright, so coffee time. Okay, also I have to end with this one because it's funny. Milwaukee Curling Club is the oldest existing curling club in the US. No. And in Heart Park in Tosa, there's a cur a building for curling, and like Olympians have gone through there and gone like that's where they that's their home curling club.

unknown 38:48

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 38:48

Okay, folks, I'm putting my hair back because we're getting serious. We're doing coffee and I just opened some blueberry uh dunker donuts. Oh, he just tried it without even making a noise.

SPEAKER_02 39:01

Um I don't like the bitterness of it so much, uh-huh, but it does have flavor, and I could drink this. Ah, he's trying the collectivo. It's cooled down enough.

SPEAKER_01 39:11

Yeah, it's you know a little hot for my preference. Um, would you like a sweet donut to pair with it? It's why the bitter coffee's the best.

SPEAKER_02 39:19

Uh yeah, I would actually.

SPEAKER_01 39:21

Here is a blueberry dunker.

SPEAKER_02 39:23

I'm a dunkest blueberry dunker.

SPEAKER_01 39:24

Yeah, because honestly, collectivo is my favorite thing because it's bitter and so when you have it with sweets, yeah. This is why I'm a sweet breakfast person. I always want like I I want a donut every day, damn it. Um, there's a I don't You guys, he didn't make any repulsive faces. He just is politely, quietly sipping it.

SPEAKER_02 39:45

Um, I still think it tastes like watered down tea. Watered really? I like the flavor of tea much more. Um but that's pretty bold. It's like kind of as bold as as you go. The aroma's nice, like it's comforting. Okay. Like um So that's interesting.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

I feel like people generally who hate coffee hate the smell of coffee.

SPEAKER_02 40:04

I like the roast of it. I love the smell of coffee. I I just really would prefer tea. Like in all honesty, I just I would like to. But tea is so bitter. Yeah, but I think it has like other like flavors, aromatics, and you know, like herbal things going on.

SPEAKER_01 40:19

Yeah, I'm not I gotta say, I'm not good at like picking out the cocoa notes out of coffee or any of that stuff. So, like I could see why you wouldn't like that.

SPEAKER_02 40:28

I will also say, like, maybe I need to get like drink more coffee to get better at this, but like when you start drinking wine, you're like, I don't know, it tastes grapey. Careful it might splash out. This just tastes like coffee-y, like it's very one-known, but like there is like some caramel-y roasty thing going on on the back end that's like kind of nice. I'm really proud of you, you guys.

SPEAKER_01 40:44

Nick has had more than three sips of this coffee. It's not bad. Okay, I'll go ahead. Thank you. Mm-hmm. All right, you guys would be really impressed with all the things we're managing right now. We're doing good work. Okay, are you doing a lid off of this one? Yeah, probably. Probably. So we're going to. So that one was like a very short part, right? Yeah. We're going to quick trip now to there's Kona blend. I have to.

SPEAKER_02 41:06

Alright, this smells like rubbery to me almost.

SPEAKER_01 41:09

I mean, if you don't like collectivo, I don't know that this one's no, I didn't I like it.

SPEAKER_02 41:12

That was the best coffee I've ever had.

SPEAKER_01 41:14

Yay! I don't know if we're um do you want a bigger piece to dunk? I'm ripping up donuts. Oh, this is like flavorful. Oh, okay. I actually kind of like this. Wow, you guys! Uh Nick just needed so Nick's already a coffee snab and he doesn't even like coffee. I mean. But like for gas station coffee, that's pretty damn good, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 41:37

It does have like a rubbery thing to it that I don't like. It has a smell or a flavor?

SPEAKER_01 41:41

Smell.

SPEAKER_02 41:42

Like, here, you smell this. Like, I put this in your head. It has like a iodine rubber band-aid type of thing to it that's like unpleasant. It smells like folgers to me. But it's much better than Folgers, in my opinion. But it's that's what it smells. It smells like cheap coffee. Like, you get this like band-aid note in like um certain wines that I just is it well, how how do you feel about dipping it?

SPEAKER_01 42:04

Is this as bitter or does this not need the donut that you're doing?

SPEAKER_02 42:07

This doesn't seem as bitter to me as as the collective. Yeah. Um I I don't like this one really because I don't like the the aroma just as like screwing with me, but the flavors are fine and it's a little bit like sweeter. It seems sweeter. It's really easy drinking, yeah. But like that aroma is just yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:26

It's um so body and acidity, right, are what you look at with the coffee. So that's what I love about Blue Healer is a high body, low acidity. Um, for whatever that's worth, or lower acidity. So like collectivo bags have the scale on it, right? And it it's far to the right for body, and then it's a little left of middle for acidity, which is my favorite balance.

SPEAKER_02 42:47

Um, that was good. Like, I I would drink that. I'm so happy about this. Now, like when I go to places to, you know, like everybody wants to do like coffee. You're like, hey, can we get together for coffee and talk about something? I'm like, yeah, I'll just get some tea. I'll just have some tea. But now, like, and you know, like you go to something in a meeting and if you're like, Can I get you a coffee? I'm like, actually, I don't drink coffee. Do you have water? But yeah, that makes you a weirdo. Like, it's just socially nice to um To be able to sip a cup of coffee? Yeah, do you know where I get off the interstate? Uh I don't, but I will look it up. Uh because this is the studio get off. That is the the the Mac no Nolan hospital.

SPEAKER_01 43:23

Oh yeah, Nolan. Um exit 12 12 for Riverside Boulevard. Okay. So uh the next exit it seems, right here. Oh, great. Good thing we checked. Woo! Okay, sorry guys, we had to had to look up some directions before we wrap up our coffee talk.

SPEAKER_02 43:38

So, anyway, that was that was good. I'm glad uh we tried some more more bold coffee.

SPEAKER_01 43:43

The better coffee. I feel like my job here is done. You didn't want to barf having coffee. Do we need to like go get Starbucks? I know, so good call. We we meant to acknowledge that we aren't having Starbucks, because Starbucks coffee is fucking gross. We could also do inspired coffee in Lake Geneva. I do feel like you should try Starbucks turn. Right, because um, I don't know, like maybe you'll like it. It just Pike Place, Starbucks like bl house blend, just tastes burnt all the time. I feel like that would be your what you would say, but maybe my wife would like that.

SPEAKER_02 44:13

She likes burnt food.

SPEAKER_01 44:14

I mean me too. Um, but burnt coffee is disgusting. So anyway, no Starbucks Starbucks Christmas.

SPEAKER_02 44:22

Like, is it sitting on my mouth? I'm like, oh god, give me more donut. Give me more donut. This is dinner.

SPEAKER_01 44:28

We are on our way to a breakfast meeting, but we brought appetizers. Um, okay, well great. So maybe we'll try Starbucks again. TBD, I hate Starbucks, so I can't say many nice things about it to you. I I hate their their house blend of coffee. Okay, do you think we fit in a kid corner today? I got one, yeah. You got one? Alright, guys, you know what it's time for? Kid Corner! We had to sing again for you. Go right ahead, Nick.

SPEAKER_02 44:52

So Simona likes family hugs. I think I've talked about this. It's her thing where, you know, before she goes to bed, she wants to hug me, she wants to hug Sarah, she wants a high five, she wants a fist bump, and then she wants a family hug where we all hug each other at the same time. And it's very fun, it's very cute. Uh, but one day she goes one mile, uh, Daddy bit me. I'm like, and Sarah's like, why did you bite her? I'm like, I didn't bite her. That's not how it works, and obviously, like, you know, that's a behavior you really don't want to teach. Yes. So turns out she just thought my beard scratching her was me biting her.

SPEAKER_01 45:30

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 45:30

And so, like, as we're dying of laughter, Sarah's like, no, it's his beard, you can, you know, hear it. And so she's like, feel it, feel it. Uh so Simona was like, Oh, it's it's it's you know, it's soft and tinkly. I'm like, Yeah, that's right. Soft and tinkly. So now we get our family hug, and she says, Daddy, I rub your beard. Oh and so she likes to rub my beard now for before she goes to bed and she goes, eh, tikko, tikko. Oh god. I mean, do you do a beard care?

SPEAKER_01 45:59

Like beard oils? Do you shampoo your beard? I don't.

SPEAKER_02 46:01

I've tried that and it just like doesn't make a difference.

SPEAKER_01 46:04

No? No. Beard grooming is gross to me. I don't know. Somewhere I must have read an article about it. I always just scrub it with like shampoo. Yeah, okay, good. If you have a beard, please shampoo it. It's hair on your body. Okay, anyway.

SPEAKER_02 46:17

You know, grows a lot more fast.

SPEAKER_01 46:18

Beef a roo! Also, women that oh, we've been there too, right? Express. Um, women that choose to not shave their armpit hair, do you shampoo that?

SPEAKER_02 46:30

I mean I have so many questions. I obviously have armpit hair.

SPEAKER_01 46:35

Yes. Do you shampoo it?

SPEAKER_02 46:36

Uh no, I body wash it. Oh, sure, okay. I mean it's all the same, right? You know, I really should do the man thing and get the like all-in-one, really super cheap body wash, shampoo on one. Oh yeah. I'm sorry, they need to be different things.

SPEAKER_01 46:50

Yeah, but don't you feel like they're probably the same product and we're just being taken for a ride by marketing people?

SPEAKER_02 46:56

I use brilliant brunette for my hair, and it does make a difference. Oh yeah, you're a brilliant brunette So I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 47:03

Oh Nick, okay. Kid Corner! Anyway, Kid Corner, um, Elliot lost his second front tooth. Really exciting. I mean, it was also Lucy's birthday party, that's really what I should talk about. We had a tea party, it was hilarious. Um, but Elliot, like, his second front tooth, he knocked it on a playground when he was in maybe 4K, I don't know. And so it uh it like died or whatever. Like it had turned a color. Yeah, so we went and saw our dentist, and I was like, Do I need to do something about this? And like, no, it's gonna fall out. So I've been Did your dentist kid knock it out? Is that she's like, Corey did that? So she was like, No, you know, like sure you could do something, but why? Why put him through it? So I just didn't want him to get made fun of, but he's made it, he didn't get made fun of, and that's the tooth that fell out. It was like kind of loose, but I didn't realize it was loose enough, and he just came bolting out of his room right before bed on I don't know, the other night. And he's like, I did it! It's gone! I mean, he was so excited, you guys, and we have a little tooth fairy pillow where you like put the tooth, and then the tooth fairy brings money. It's great. It was really cute, very exciting. I also learned that my husband apparently has two dollar bills just like at the ready because we're like, Oh, it's a friend.

SPEAKER_02 48:11
