00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:01.445
This is off track
2
00:00:02.945 --> 00:00:04.245
And James is chewing.
3
00:00:04.645 --> 00:00:07.845
I feel bad for all the people who suffer from like Onamia
4
00:00:07.865 --> 00:00:10.005
or whatever it is, but it's, it's not
5
00:00:10.005 --> 00:00:11.045
what that is 7:00 PM local .
6
00:00:11.525 --> 00:00:13.485
And, uh, I haven't eaten
7
00:00:13.485 --> 00:00:16.525
yet today on I him snack him .
8
00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:20.805
I hate when people pronounce words wrong.
9
00:00:20.805 --> 00:00:23.285
That's, or or they just use like a long word
10
00:00:23.345 --> 00:00:25.765
and assume it means something that's so Mississippi of you.
11
00:00:26.465 --> 00:00:27.765
See, I didn't pronounce it wrong.
12
00:00:27.845 --> 00:00:28.925
I just used it incorrectly.
13
00:00:29.195 --> 00:00:30.885
Yeah. So did I I didn't pronounce Mississippi
14
00:00:30.885 --> 00:00:31.885
Wrong.
15
00:00:31.885 --> 00:00:33.405
No, you said I pronounce Onamia wrong.
16
00:00:33.685 --> 00:00:36.045
I, I corrected myself. I got there. Oh, okay.
17
00:00:36.145 --> 00:00:40.245
You did. Um, guys, my Merry Christmas
18
00:00:40.245 --> 00:00:41.685
or you know,
19
00:00:42.395 --> 00:00:43.925
It's that weird happy
Or whatever.
20
00:00:44.595 --> 00:00:46.165
It's that no man's land time.
21
00:00:46.905 --> 00:00:48.725
I'm pretty sure all businesses should
22
00:00:48.725 --> 00:00:49.805
just be closed between.
23
00:00:49.805 --> 00:00:52.405
Nobody should have to work between. I agree.
24
00:00:52.425 --> 00:00:54.885
So should Christmases, they should also be closed.
25
00:00:55.845 --> 00:00:59.005
I mean, we took Christmas off guys upset about doing
26
00:00:59.005 --> 00:01:00.445
This, this particular episode. .
27
00:01:01.185 --> 00:01:02.245
Hey, last chip. I promise.
28
00:01:03.305 --> 00:01:04.565
How was he getting ready to
Go to bed?
29
00:01:05.795 --> 00:01:08.565
It's 7:00 PM Like I know you're a new dad,
30
00:01:08.585 --> 00:01:10.045
but it's 7:00 PM man. .
31
00:01:12.945 --> 00:01:14.605
How old are you? Are you going to bed as his new dad?
32
00:01:14.635 --> 00:01:16.645
Like how, what time did you go to bed last night?
33
00:01:16.985 --> 00:01:20.965
10. That's the problem.
Mm-hmm. You wild child. Mm-hmm.
34
00:01:21.885 --> 00:01:24.725
I, um, okay, before we get into holiday stuff
35
00:01:25.385 --> 00:01:27.925
and of a yearend review, I do have one.
36
00:01:28.065 --> 00:01:29.805
You know, it was travel podcast as we all know.
37
00:01:30.025 --> 00:01:31.925
And so there's one travel related thing that happened
38
00:01:32.075 --> 00:01:33.365
that we should
39
00:01:33.365 --> 00:01:34.365
Discuss.
40
00:01:34.385 --> 00:01:39.005
So Alex, I retweeted or reposted on Instagram
41
00:01:39.025 --> 00:01:44.005
or whatever, something about how it seems crazy
42
00:01:44.155 --> 00:01:47.725
that they still have like barf bags in the seat backs
43
00:01:47.725 --> 00:01:51.285
of airplanes because like one was the last time you saw
44
00:01:51.285 --> 00:01:52.485
someone use one A
45
00:01:52.585 --> 00:01:55.645
and then B, why don't we need them anymore when they
46
00:01:56.325 --> 00:01:58.205
seemingly used to be very common, common enough
47
00:01:58.205 --> 00:02:00.045
that there's one in literally every seat back
48
00:02:01.525 --> 00:02:03.965
overwhelming response from the Twitterverse
49
00:02:04.145 --> 00:02:06.525
or Insta, whatever from the internet
50
00:02:06.735 --> 00:02:07.805
about this particular topic.
51
00:02:08.225 --> 00:02:12.805
I'm wondering if you have any thoughts as a pilot as
52
00:02:12.805 --> 00:02:16.005
to why we see, and I'm saying statistically that we have
53
00:02:16.005 --> 00:02:17.005
This.
54
00:02:17.005 --> 00:02:17.925
Wait, what was the response? I didn't see that you got,
55
00:02:18.195 --> 00:02:19.605
what was your massive response?
56
00:02:20.065 --> 00:02:21.565
No, he wants our answers before.
57
00:02:22.045 --> 00:02:24.205
I want your answers first.
Oh, okay. So
58
00:02:24.905 --> 00:02:27.005
The free, let's, let's, let's address the,
59
00:02:27.355 --> 00:02:29.765
have you seen anyone puke lately aside
60
00:02:30.185 --> 00:02:31.445
and let's, let's accept
61
00:02:31.825 --> 00:02:34.005
On an airplane or in general on an airplane,
62
00:02:34.005 --> 00:02:36.005
because I don't mean to brag, but I I vomit a lot.
63
00:02:36.355 --> 00:02:37.405
Yeah, yeah. We know.
64
00:02:37.825 --> 00:02:39.645
Um, uh,
65
00:02:40.185 --> 00:02:42.645
we usually watch the dinner we just bought come out ,
66
00:02:42.925 --> 00:02:44.005
so it's very upsetting.
67
00:02:44.465 --> 00:02:47.805
Um, no, but, so let's assume that we are agreeing
68
00:02:47.805 --> 00:02:49.605
that people puke less on airplanes.
69
00:02:50.225 --> 00:02:51.325
Do you think that's true?
70
00:02:51.425 --> 00:02:53.045
And if that's true, why do you think that is?
71
00:02:53.345 --> 00:02:54.805
Um, I think there's much better
72
00:02:56.085 --> 00:02:58.365
Forecasting tools and weather tools to
73
00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:00.045
Find smoother air.
74
00:03:00.425 --> 00:03:01.885
And it's more of a priority
75
00:03:01.885 --> 00:03:06.325
because I think while turbulence is ultimately not
76
00:03:06.925 --> 00:03:08.605
dangerous, um, it's uncomfortable
77
00:03:08.865 --> 00:03:13.525
and so they make a concerted effort to find smoother air
78
00:03:13.705 --> 00:03:18.245
and they have the ability with better weather tools to find
79
00:03:18.245 --> 00:03:21.085
that smoother air would be my assumption.
80
00:03:21.425 --> 00:03:24.325
So you, you think it's literally finding smoother air?
81
00:03:24.765 --> 00:03:26.645
'cause like where do you find smoother air?
82
00:03:26.645 --> 00:03:28.365
Like how, where do you go to get that air?
83
00:03:28.585 --> 00:03:31.045
Oh, I mean, it can be literally a thousand feet,
84
00:03:31.065 --> 00:03:32.605
2000 feet above or below you.
85
00:03:32.605 --> 00:03:35.445
Like it's not, it's not hard.
86
00:03:36.025 --> 00:03:38.325
Um, I think maybe the other thing is
87
00:03:39.785 --> 00:03:44.365
flying on airplanes is so common now that you are,
88
00:03:45.525 --> 00:03:47.165
I don't know, more adapted to it.
89
00:03:47.515 --> 00:03:48.845
Like I, I think the same amount
90
00:03:48.845 --> 00:03:50.525
of people still probably get seasick
91
00:03:50.525 --> 00:03:52.245
because the amount of people
92
00:03:52.245 --> 00:03:56.165
that are on boats is probably still fairly low in the
93
00:03:56.165 --> 00:03:57.965
general consensus of the population.
94
00:03:58.425 --> 00:04:02.965
Um, and I think air travel has become so accessible
95
00:04:03.155 --> 00:04:07.085
that people have just flown enough that they're a,
96
00:04:07.085 --> 00:04:09.045
either not afraid or B, they're more used
97
00:04:09.045 --> 00:04:10.725
to any bumps that come their way.
98
00:04:11.485 --> 00:04:13.365
I also thought the bags were there for people
99
00:04:13.365 --> 00:04:14.365
to hyperventilate
100
00:04:15.385 --> 00:04:16.385
Or hide drugs.
101
00:04:17.455 --> 00:04:18.455
Heard
Hyperventilate.
102
00:04:18.515 --> 00:04:20.005
Yeah. When you're hyperventilating it helps
103
00:04:20.005 --> 00:04:21.525
to go into a paper bag.
104
00:04:22.005 --> 00:04:24.005
I don't think that's primarily why they're there,
105
00:04:24.005 --> 00:04:25.605
but I think that's part of why they're there.
106
00:04:26.105 --> 00:04:29.285
No, but I've always kind of thought that just kind of
107
00:04:30.155 --> 00:04:32.685
Primarily
I said primarily
108
00:04:33.105 --> 00:04:34.245
You said primarily.
109
00:04:34.595 --> 00:04:36.005
Well, I'm tired. Well,
It was Christmas.
110
00:04:36.355 --> 00:04:38.525
Yeah. . It's, it's the Friday
111
00:04:38.525 --> 00:04:40.685
after Christmas primarily Saturday or whatever day.
112
00:04:41.715 --> 00:04:43.805
Yeah. What, what do you, what's, what do you call the day
113
00:04:43.805 --> 00:04:46.965
after something if Eve is the day before something, you
114
00:04:46.965 --> 00:04:51.485
Call it Christmas three sixty three Eve.
115
00:04:51.955 --> 00:04:54.765
Exactly. Yeah. Lame.
116
00:04:55.345 --> 00:04:59.295
Um, so, okay. All all
117
00:04:59.295 --> 00:05:00.295
Good.
118
00:05:00.295 --> 00:05:00.575
What is the answer, James?
119
00:05:00.605 --> 00:05:03.095
Well, I, I don't, I don't know if there is one answer.
120
00:05:03.095 --> 00:05:04.815
What is, what is the people's answer that came up?
121
00:05:04.815 --> 00:05:09.335
There was, there was a few, um, autopilot is better on like,
122
00:05:09.395 --> 00:05:11.575
so on takeoff when there's some chop and stuff.
123
00:05:11.575 --> 00:05:14.295
Maybe the autopilot's negating some of
124
00:05:14.295 --> 00:05:15.295
The movement gonna say since the eighties.
125
00:05:15.295 --> 00:05:16.735
Sorry to tell tell you, but
126
00:05:16.925 --> 00:05:17.925
Okay.
127
00:05:17.925 --> 00:05:19.535
Well let me just, let me, let me just go through them.
128
00:05:19.625 --> 00:05:21.415
Lemme just go through them. 'cause there was quite a few,
129
00:05:21.675 --> 00:05:25.015
uh, the first one I got was one word drugs, which
130
00:05:25.635 --> 00:05:27.215
I'm not entirely sure I agree with.
131
00:05:27.335 --> 00:05:29.255
'cause I don't know that many more people taking that.
132
00:05:30.075 --> 00:05:33.015
Um, I got a lot of people telling
133
00:05:33.015 --> 00:05:34.855
Me, a lot of people who are nervous flyers that,
134
00:05:34.925 --> 00:05:37.775
that now like, take a, take something
135
00:05:37.775 --> 00:05:39.775
to calm themselves down before they get on a
136
00:05:39.775 --> 00:05:42.375
Plane money or whatever
The, the bags are for post
137
00:05:42.935 --> 00:05:45.215
bachelor party flights, which is, you know,
138
00:05:45.215 --> 00:05:46.375
always a possibility.
139
00:05:46.715 --> 00:05:50.215
Uh, I got a lot of people just kind of disagreeing
140
00:05:50.215 --> 00:05:52.695
with the notion that people throw up less on airplanes.
141
00:05:53.335 --> 00:05:55.815
I got get throw up on my last flight I got,
142
00:05:55.935 --> 00:05:58.285
I threw up on the last time I flew twice.
143
00:05:58.645 --> 00:06:00.845
I got, oh, trust me, we are still out there.
144
00:06:01.745 --> 00:06:04.925
Um, I barfed on a plane and was thankful for the bag.
145
00:06:05.075 --> 00:06:06.845
Food poisoning in the, in the air.
146
00:06:06.895 --> 00:06:09.085
Still traumatized 14 years later.
147
00:06:09.865 --> 00:06:12.485
Um, what else do we get?
148
00:06:12.665 --> 00:06:14.765
Can confirm people still barf on planes?
149
00:06:14.885 --> 00:06:18.125
I had food poisoning one year and it was five minutes
150
00:06:18.125 --> 00:06:21.085
after takeoff did not make for a great rest of flight.
151
00:06:21.405 --> 00:06:22.685
I feel like I fly a lot
152
00:06:23.105 --> 00:06:24.605
and I haven't seen anybody throw up
153
00:06:24.605 --> 00:06:26.405
and you guys fly way more than me.
154
00:06:26.585 --> 00:06:28.645
And I feel like you're telling me you don't see people there
155
00:06:28.645 --> 00:06:30.645
or they just, are there people just vomiting in secret?
156
00:06:31.035 --> 00:06:33.285
Like is that why the bags there so they can just
157
00:06:33.635 --> 00:06:35.765
Well, no, I mean if you think about James, he's,
158
00:06:35.835 --> 00:06:37.485
he's up front on international.
159
00:06:37.485 --> 00:06:39.445
That's true. That's true.
Most people throwing
160
00:06:39.445 --> 00:06:40.925
up drinking too much.
161
00:06:42.715 --> 00:06:44.125
Yeah, they the vomit they keep the
162
00:06:44.125 --> 00:06:45.405
vomiters back in steerage.
163
00:06:45.915 --> 00:06:48.405
Yeah. Yeah. They're, they're throwing up in the shower
164
00:06:48.405 --> 00:06:50.245
during their scheduled shower time.
165
00:06:51.145 --> 00:06:55.125
Um, one, one person said this literally happened when I flew
166
00:06:55.125 --> 00:06:57.045
to the 2016 Indie 500.
167
00:06:57.845 --> 00:07:00.605
A person ran trying to make the bathroom didn't
168
00:07:00.665 --> 00:07:01.765
and sprayed the aisle.
169
00:07:02.485 --> 00:07:04.085
I could see that happening on the way back
170
00:07:04.235 --> 00:07:05.285
from an indie 500.
171
00:07:05.625 --> 00:07:07.725
So, so that reminds me of a story.
172
00:07:07.925 --> 00:07:10.885
I think, oh, I've, I've, I told this story.
173
00:07:11.985 --> 00:07:13.735
We'll try it again.
Where, where, um,
174
00:07:14.655 --> 00:07:16.415
I was actually trying to piss my pants
175
00:07:16.845 --> 00:07:18.295
because I had to pee so bad.
176
00:07:19.475 --> 00:07:22.015
And
I, when the plane came to a stop of the gate,
177
00:07:22.195 --> 00:07:24.895
the closest restroom, even though I was in row three,
178
00:07:25.335 --> 00:07:26.535
I deemed to be behind me.
179
00:07:27.235 --> 00:07:28.695
So you know how everyone stands up
180
00:07:28.695 --> 00:07:30.255
and tries to push their way forward
181
00:07:30.595 --> 00:07:32.175
to be a <inaudible> to get off the plane.
182
00:07:32.335 --> 00:07:36.895
I was going upstream. It was the best to this day.
183
00:07:37.265 --> 00:07:39.735
Aside from, I don't know, ha, having Ben,
184
00:07:39.935 --> 00:07:42.615
I think it was the most enjoyable experience of my life.
185
00:07:44.595 --> 00:07:48.295
was that piss on that airplane bathroom.
186
00:07:50.235 --> 00:07:54.735
not not marrying your wife, not winning the million 500.
187
00:07:55.285 --> 00:07:56.285
Nope.
188
00:07:58.215 --> 00:07:59.535
Lining up on the grid of a Formula
189
00:07:59.595 --> 00:08:00.615
one race for the first time.
190
00:08:00.765 --> 00:08:02.375
None. These things were okay.
191
00:08:02.945 --> 00:08:05.085
Didn't
I know. I feel like you're just saying Ben.
192
00:08:05.245 --> 00:08:07.485
'cause you feel like you have to say Ben, if all
193
00:08:07.485 --> 00:08:09.165
of those didn't make, like, I feel like
194
00:08:09.625 --> 00:08:11.045
That's a great point, Tim. Not Ben's pretty
195
00:08:11.045 --> 00:08:12.045
cool.
.
196
00:08:12.895 --> 00:08:14.005
Ben's pretty cool now.
197
00:08:14.145 --> 00:08:17.205
But on the day, on the day, was he immediately cool?
198
00:08:17.635 --> 00:08:19.565
He's immediately cool. When he was grabbing tools
199
00:08:19.585 --> 00:08:21.685
of the doctors, he was grabbing tools
200
00:08:21.685 --> 00:08:22.805
outta their hands. Yeah, that's
201
00:08:22.805 --> 00:08:23.805
Kind of cool.
202
00:08:23.805 --> 00:08:24.925
That's one guy said.
203
00:08:25.145 --> 00:08:27.725
Uh, I think it's because checking in takes too long
204
00:08:27.745 --> 00:08:29.045
and airport beverages
205
00:08:29.045 --> 00:08:32.005
and food just cost too damn much. Which is, oh, I don't think
206
00:08:32.065 --> 00:08:33.065
Get it.
207
00:08:33.065 --> 00:08:33.725
People were throwing up 'cause they were already
208
00:08:33.885 --> 00:08:34.885
Hammered.
209
00:08:34.885 --> 00:08:36.085
Already hammered. I don't, don't think so.
210
00:08:36.585 --> 00:08:38.485
No.
Oh, here he goes. Because we've all grown.
211
00:08:38.545 --> 00:08:40.005
So cus Oh no wait, no,
212
00:08:40.005 --> 00:08:41.405
That just makes sense. I think we've got no,
213
00:08:41.995 --> 00:08:42.995
That one's not it.
214
00:08:42.995 --> 00:08:44.965
What? One, one person thinks it's the matrix.
215
00:08:45.905 --> 00:08:47.445
One person says they now just delay
216
00:08:47.445 --> 00:08:50.005
or cancel flights until there's non turbulent weather.
217
00:08:50.425 --> 00:08:51.445
I'm not sure. I believe that that kind
218
00:08:51.445 --> 00:08:52.445
Of fits.
219
00:08:52.445 --> 00:08:53.245
Oh, this was a bit more of Alex's.
220
00:08:53.675 --> 00:08:55.840
This is one that I was, that I, I was surprised at.
221
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.085
They pump higher doses
222
00:08:57.085 --> 00:09:00.125
of oxygen into the planes now oxygen makes people calm
223
00:09:00.125 --> 00:09:01.205
and less likely to puke.
224
00:09:01.235 --> 00:09:02.245
Plus, if you've ever noticed,
225
00:09:02.345 --> 00:09:04.445
almost everyone passes out and falls asleep.
226
00:09:04.765 --> 00:09:07.845
Kudos to the engineers now I passed those. That, that oxygen
227
00:09:07.915 --> 00:09:08.915
Kept you awake.
228
00:09:08.915 --> 00:09:09.805
Exactly. So that
229
00:09:09.835 --> 00:09:11.125
that guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
230
00:09:11.665 --> 00:09:12.805
Oh yeah.
Because
231
00:09:12.805 --> 00:09:15.245
that's why they do over oxygenated air in the
232
00:09:15.265 --> 00:09:17.125
air in the casinos. Right? Yeah. You
233
00:09:17.125 --> 00:09:18.125
Can't
Have both right to keep you.
234
00:09:18.145 --> 00:09:21.045
That's also why you get sleepy when you climb Everest. Um,
235
00:09:21.835 --> 00:09:22.565
Yeah. That's why
236
00:09:23.555 --> 00:09:24.685
Hundred percent
The mountain
237
00:09:24.685 --> 00:09:25.725
Different type of sleep. .
238
00:09:27.115 --> 00:09:29.405
Nope. Bigger planes equals less movement
239
00:09:29.425 --> 00:09:30.565
equals less up, Chuck.
240
00:09:30.985 --> 00:09:33.605
No, but they're
The same plane. Like the planes aren't.
241
00:09:34.155 --> 00:09:35.285
Yeah, it's true. You're flying a
242
00:09:35.285 --> 00:09:36.285
Lot.
243
00:09:36.285 --> 00:09:38.005
Planes. Seven 30 seven's been around for a while.
244
00:09:38.235 --> 00:09:42.085
Yeah.
Uh, kid barfed next to us in the aisle.
245
00:09:42.185 --> 00:09:43.565
No barf bag needed. All right.
246
00:09:43.645 --> 00:09:45.885
A couple more people talking about the forecasting. Okay.
247
00:09:45.885 --> 00:09:47.525
Sorry. I just thought I
248
00:09:47.525 --> 00:09:48.525
Wanted to guess.
249
00:09:48.525 --> 00:09:50.965
This is, this is interesting. Um,
250
00:09:51.725 --> 00:09:53.245
I wanted to get the pilot's take on that
251
00:09:53.445 --> 00:09:55.365
'cause I got a lot of, I got a lot of response on it.
252
00:09:55.645 --> 00:09:56.725
I think his made sense though.
253
00:09:56.725 --> 00:09:58.525
It's the forecasting means we're
254
00:09:58.525 --> 00:09:59.605
hitting way less turbulence.
255
00:10:01.055 --> 00:10:03.335
I do feel like I hit turbulence a lot less than I did
256
00:10:03.335 --> 00:10:04.415
when I used to fly as a kid.
257
00:10:06.115 --> 00:10:08.935
Yep.
I think you're just more used to it too.
258
00:10:09.715 --> 00:10:10.935
That's probably a part of it.
259
00:10:11.495 --> 00:10:13.655
I think it's probably a lot of different reasons. Right?
260
00:10:13.725 --> 00:10:16.055
It's like we have a populace that's flown a lot more.
261
00:10:16.235 --> 00:10:19.095
We have better weather forecasting.
262
00:10:19.455 --> 00:10:20.455
Honestly, it's just all my ideas.
263
00:10:21.005 --> 00:10:23.455
It's past Christmas, it's past Boxing Day
264
00:10:23.795 --> 00:10:24.855
for those that celebrate.
265
00:10:25.675 --> 00:10:28.995
Uh, Alex how was your Christmas pal?
266
00:10:29.415 --> 00:10:32.435
It was, it was, it was great James. We went up to Canada.
267
00:10:33.175 --> 00:10:35.635
Um, that wasn't our original plan,
268
00:10:36.175 --> 00:10:39.875
but it was our new plan.
269
00:10:40.475 --> 00:10:42.275
I don't know what, what is the opposite original
270
00:10:42.575 --> 00:10:43.915
or what goes after
271
00:10:44.355 --> 00:10:45.355
Original backup plan?
272
00:10:45.425 --> 00:10:46.995
Secondary plan. No.
273
00:10:47.605 --> 00:10:49.215
Anyways,
Inverse
274
00:10:49.725 --> 00:10:50.725
Audible.
275
00:10:51.035 --> 00:10:55.735
We
Flew up to Canada, which I tell you like
276
00:10:56.275 --> 00:10:58.015
now, now having a baby
277
00:10:58.355 --> 00:11:02.415
and all of the stuff, a mall, the, uh, stuff
278
00:11:02.415 --> 00:11:03.615
that comes along with a baby.
279
00:11:04.785 --> 00:11:05.855
There was a period of time
280
00:11:05.855 --> 00:11:08.095
where I always was concerned about like how much weight,
281
00:11:09.065 --> 00:11:11.045
you know, I traveled with in the plane.
282
00:11:11.045 --> 00:11:13.485
Right. Because you know, you can only take so much.
283
00:11:13.545 --> 00:11:17.315
It can only take so much. Now weight's not the issue.
284
00:11:17.385 --> 00:11:18.435
It's just volume .
285
00:11:19.195 --> 00:11:20.595
It's the amount of like,
286
00:11:20.595 --> 00:11:23.035
you don't have enough physical space to put it all.
287
00:11:23.575 --> 00:11:24.675
It doesn't weigh that much,
288
00:11:24.675 --> 00:11:27.195
especially when it's just three of you and two dogs.
289
00:11:27.535 --> 00:11:31.955
Um, so the majority of of this trip was
290
00:11:32.715 --> 00:11:35.515
logistically loading and unloading airplanes,
291
00:11:35.725 --> 00:11:38.035
which was highly annoying.
292
00:11:38.335 --> 00:11:41.795
Um, but we uh, we got up
293
00:11:42.135 --> 00:11:43.595
to Canada on Tuesday.
294
00:11:44.975 --> 00:11:48.075
Um, we had a nice little keg dinner with
295
00:11:48.075 --> 00:11:49.075
The family.
296
00:11:49.075 --> 00:11:49.355
Oh, nice. Kind. Love the
297
00:11:49.415 --> 00:11:50.415
Ke.
298
00:11:50.415 --> 00:11:52.155
Knocked a couple, knocked a couple Bloody Caesars
299
00:11:52.155 --> 00:11:53.195
back, which was awesome.
300
00:11:53.205 --> 00:11:55.125
What is a keg dinner?
It's a,
301
00:11:55.125 --> 00:11:56.645
it's a restaurant. It's like a, the keg
302
00:11:56.645 --> 00:11:58.045
Is a steak house, which is weird.
303
00:11:58.385 --> 00:11:59.765
It sounds like it should be a bar.
304
00:12:00.275 --> 00:12:04.365
Yeah. Um, and then Wednesday, what do we do Wednesday?
305
00:12:04.705 --> 00:12:09.045
Oh, Wednesday I had to build a, uh, Barbie Dream house,
306
00:12:09.665 --> 00:12:13.265
um, for uh, Kelly, uh, I'm kidding.
307
00:12:13.445 --> 00:12:18.145
For my niece. Um, so I was, I was a little elf for the day.
308
00:12:19.315 --> 00:12:20.625
Kelly would've played with it too
309
00:12:21.525 --> 00:12:23.745
Big elf to be fair. Mm.
310
00:12:24.085 --> 00:12:28.025
Pretty, pretty unqualified elf too. Like did you
311
00:12:28.045 --> 00:12:29.045
Bar dreamhouse?
312
00:12:30.205 --> 00:12:31.545
You didn't master that
313
00:12:31.545 --> 00:12:32.545
Thing?
314
00:12:32.545 --> 00:12:33.545
No, I did. But like,
315
00:12:34.065 --> 00:12:36.785
building the structure is only like 40% of it.
316
00:12:37.005 --> 00:12:39.865
And then there's all of these little pieces that you have
317
00:12:39.865 --> 00:12:44.225
to like stage appropriately for Barbie's dream house
318
00:12:44.685 --> 00:12:46.955
to be, you know, dreamy.
319
00:12:47.985 --> 00:12:50.795
Like it's easy to build the plastic thing in the elevator
320
00:12:50.815 --> 00:12:52.595
and whatever and the swimming pools. But you gotta like,
321
00:12:52.825 --> 00:12:53.875
Like so what you, what are you staging?
322
00:12:53.945 --> 00:12:57.635
400 little things. Oh, like everything.
323
00:12:57.985 --> 00:13:01.595
Hangers and cups of water and popcorn.
324
00:13:02.655 --> 00:13:04.315
Anders. Different pieces of furniture. Oh yeah.
325
00:13:04.315 --> 00:13:06.595
It's very like every single you would need in the house
326
00:13:07.165 --> 00:13:08.795
exist in Barbie's Dream house, James.
327
00:13:09.855 --> 00:13:12.235
So, um, well it shouldn't, all the utensils shouldn't
328
00:13:12.235 --> 00:13:14.635
and setting tables and everything so that, how big
329
00:13:14.815 --> 00:13:15.815
Is this house?
330
00:13:15.815 --> 00:13:17.075
Do you not want Barbie to have
331
00:13:17.075 --> 00:13:18.155
everything that makes her special?
332
00:13:18.555 --> 00:13:19.635
I don't understanding problem here.
333
00:13:20.145 --> 00:13:22.915
Utensil do not special
Slide in two pools.
334
00:13:24.715 --> 00:13:26.845
What, how big are the utensils?
335
00:13:26.965 --> 00:13:29.845
Like are we talking about individual utensils
336
00:13:29.865 --> 00:13:32.285
or is it like a little plastic thing that looks like a bunch
337
00:13:32.285 --> 00:13:33.365
of knives, forks and
338
00:13:33.485 --> 00:13:34.485
Spoons.
339
00:13:34.485 --> 00:13:35.965
No individual forks, knife spoons.
340
00:13:36.705 --> 00:13:40.405
Oh my head up. There's so much stuff. So much stuff. Yeah.
341
00:13:40.405 --> 00:13:41.645
Mm-hmm . There's so much stuff. Mm-hmm .
342
00:13:42.665 --> 00:13:44.645
You think Ben has a lot of stuff now? Just wait.
343
00:13:44.645 --> 00:13:46.325
That was my Christmas eve.
344
00:13:46.685 --> 00:13:49.845
Christmas day was spent with the kids. Um,
345
00:13:51.125 --> 00:13:54.325
I saw you had one of the kids, one of your nieces
346
00:13:54.325 --> 00:13:57.485
or nephews, uh, the gunning you on the floor.
347
00:13:57.745 --> 00:13:59.325
Yes. I feel like that's putting,
348
00:13:59.385 --> 00:14:01.605
that's putting child labor to good use.
349
00:14:02.645 --> 00:14:04.485
I paid them
. Well actually
350
00:14:05.165 --> 00:14:06.205
I dunno if that's better or worse.
351
00:14:06.205 --> 00:14:08.885
I told him, I
Told him I would pay him and then
352
00:14:08.925 --> 00:14:09.925
I didn't.
353
00:14:09.925 --> 00:14:10.685
That's worse. That's
354
00:14:10.685 --> 00:14:12.125
Definitely worse. That's worse. . Yeah.
355
00:14:12.135 --> 00:14:14.405
There. Okay. Yeah, we figured it
356
00:14:14.405 --> 00:14:15.405
Out. .
357
00:14:15.405 --> 00:14:16.485
Yeah. Solve that problem real quick. .
358
00:14:17.865 --> 00:14:22.045
Um, and then we did Boxing Day, uh,
359
00:14:22.475 --> 00:14:27.325
with Kelly's um, brother and sister-in-law and their kids.
360
00:14:27.985 --> 00:14:30.005
So is Boxing Day a big Canadian thing too?
361
00:14:30.125 --> 00:14:31.125
I know it's an English thing.
362
00:14:31.755 --> 00:14:32.885
Sure is. What do,
363
00:14:32.885 --> 00:14:35.445
What do you, what does one do for Boxing Day? You
364
00:14:35.545 --> 00:14:36.645
Box everything up.
365
00:14:37.585 --> 00:14:41.965
Oh, that's where the name came from. I, um, boxing Day's.
366
00:14:41.965 --> 00:14:44.725
Really? Boxing Day's our Black Friday. Got it.
367
00:14:44.725 --> 00:14:46.765
So the day after Christmas is when all the crazy sale have
368
00:14:46.975 --> 00:14:48.285
Black Friday too. Even though you don't
369
00:14:48.755 --> 00:14:50.485
Well yeah, we've, we've, we've kind of jumped on that
370
00:14:50.825 --> 00:14:53.845
as well because companies realized, oh,
371
00:14:53.865 --> 00:14:56.325
people wanna buy things before Christmas.
372
00:14:58.235 --> 00:15:00.685
Well people realized they wanna buy things before Christmas.
373
00:15:01.005 --> 00:15:02.965
Companies realized, well then they also wanna buy 'em on a
374
00:15:03.085 --> 00:15:04.125
discount the day after Christmas.
375
00:15:04.145 --> 00:15:05.325
So we do that too. And
376
00:15:05.325 --> 00:15:07.725
Then we came home today. So that was it.
377
00:15:08.305 --> 00:15:09.405
Oh, you just got home today? I
378
00:15:09.405 --> 00:15:12.245
Go, got home three hours ago.
379
00:15:12.755 --> 00:15:15.045
Nice, nice.
I go to Buffalo tomorrow.
380
00:15:16.235 --> 00:15:17.885
Nice. Nice. What's in Buffalo
381
00:15:18.325 --> 00:15:19.325
Tomorrow?
382
00:15:19.325 --> 00:15:22.405
Come, come back Monday. Um, going to a Bill's Eagles game.
383
00:15:23.075 --> 00:15:25.445
Nice. With uh,
Our good buddy Marco
384
00:15:26.625 --> 00:15:28.445
and his pa friends.
385
00:15:28.805 --> 00:15:30.725
Connor's flying out with me. Oh cool.
386
00:15:31.315 --> 00:15:33.165
Yeah, I didn't get that invite, but okay.
387
00:15:33.645 --> 00:15:37.645
Samesies.
I would've been,
388
00:15:37.925 --> 00:15:39.005
I would've been available, but
389
00:15:40.165 --> 00:15:41.285
I, I wasn't
That's fine.
390
00:15:41.595 --> 00:15:43.165
Talk to tech support. Not my problem.
391
00:15:48.585 --> 00:15:49.645
How was your Christmas, James?
392
00:15:49.705 --> 00:15:51.845
You were also up north in the I was,
393
00:15:52.125 --> 00:15:53.125
I was arctic.
394
00:15:53.125 --> 00:15:54.165
It was unfortunate
395
00:15:54.165 --> 00:15:56.845
that we were both in the same general vicinity
396
00:15:56.845 --> 00:15:59.925
but unable to connect much family
397
00:16:00.705 --> 00:16:02.205
things going on.
398
00:16:02.745 --> 00:16:06.325
Um, yeah, it was good minus a minor.
399
00:16:06.905 --> 00:16:09.965
Um, so we, we delayed our trip up by a day.
400
00:16:10.065 --> 00:16:12.965
We drove up, but like the weather was really bad the day we
401
00:16:12.965 --> 00:16:15.765
were gonna drive and didn't feel like rolling a
402
00:16:16.545 --> 00:16:19.325
car into a ditch with, you know, my wife and dogs
403
00:16:19.385 --> 00:16:22.165
and Christmas stuff heading up north for the holidays.
404
00:16:22.265 --> 00:16:25.925
So, um, got there a day late, which sucks.
405
00:16:25.925 --> 00:16:27.125
Just 'cause you, you know, you're only up there
406
00:16:27.125 --> 00:16:28.245
for a certain amount of time and you got a lot
407
00:16:28.245 --> 00:16:29.765
of stuff you wanna do and people you wanna see
408
00:16:30.665 --> 00:16:32.205
had a minor scare in that.
409
00:16:32.265 --> 00:16:35.885
On the drive up, we got a call that, uh, Becky's dad had
410
00:16:35.885 --> 00:16:37.005
to go to er
411
00:16:37.295 --> 00:16:40.725
after, um, a little episode, uh,
412
00:16:40.725 --> 00:16:43.205
while he was playing pickleball, but he's Okay.
413
00:16:43.655 --> 00:16:45.405
Thank you for asking. Um,
414
00:16:47.585 --> 00:16:49.285
but yeah, that just kind of got things off to kind
415
00:16:49.285 --> 00:16:51.085
of a weird rocky start, changed a little bit
416
00:16:51.085 --> 00:16:54.165
of plans early on, but then no, it was, it was a lot
417
00:16:54.165 --> 00:16:58.165
of time, um, hanging out with, uh, my, my mom at her place
418
00:16:59.425 --> 00:17:00.645
and the buildup to Christmas.
419
00:17:01.425 --> 00:17:05.005
Um, saw some old friends from high school, which was great.
420
00:17:05.465 --> 00:17:09.365
And their kids, like one of my buddies' oldest is now, uh,
421
00:17:09.685 --> 00:17:14.395
18 and in university and that's just like, like nuts.
422
00:17:14.455 --> 00:17:17.275
Oh my. Yeah. Yeah. My age. Three kids.
423
00:17:18.755 --> 00:17:22.675
13 I think 15 and 18 or 16 and 18 or something. So yeah.
424
00:17:22.825 --> 00:17:25.995
Wild. Um, and that was just lovely, lovely evening.
425
00:17:26.135 --> 00:17:28.595
And then, yeah, Christmas Eve we spent with,
426
00:17:28.615 --> 00:17:29.795
uh, with Becky's mom.
427
00:17:30.015 --> 00:17:31.075
Oh. We made like, we made a bunch
428
00:17:31.075 --> 00:17:32.155
of shortbread cookies with her.
429
00:17:32.155 --> 00:17:33.835
We went over to her place and like she's got this killer
430
00:17:33.835 --> 00:17:35.635
shortbread recipe and so made like tons of cookies,
431
00:17:35.915 --> 00:17:36.995
ate way too many shortbread cookies,
432
00:17:37.325 --> 00:17:38.555
which is one of my favorite.
433
00:17:39.335 --> 00:17:41.395
Uh, and then, yeah, Christmas Eve we did dinner
434
00:17:41.395 --> 00:17:43.955
with her mom, uh, and her mom's boyfriend.
435
00:17:44.135 --> 00:17:45.475
And then Christmas Eve
436
00:17:45.535 --> 00:17:50.365
or Christmas Day we did um, dinner at my mom's house
437
00:17:50.475 --> 00:17:51.885
with all my family, my brother
438
00:17:51.945 --> 00:17:56.445
and his wife, my sister, my niece, uh, and then Becky's dad
439
00:17:56.445 --> 00:17:58.885
and brother came and we had a nice little nice
440
00:17:58.885 --> 00:17:59.925
little family gathering.
441
00:18:00.305 --> 00:18:01.965
And it's just funny 'cause like you were in a place
442
00:18:01.965 --> 00:18:03.885
that had like tons of kids and a couple adults.
443
00:18:04.005 --> 00:18:06.245
I was in a place that had tons of adults and one kid.
444
00:18:07.065 --> 00:18:09.485
And it's just funny like when it gets to kind
445
00:18:09.485 --> 00:18:11.965
of present time and like just, you know, being a kid
446
00:18:11.965 --> 00:18:13.165
and knowing what it was like,
447
00:18:13.395 --> 00:18:14.645
what Christmas is like, whatever.
448
00:18:14.675 --> 00:18:17.605
It's, it is so fun to watch Christmas now
449
00:18:18.505 --> 00:18:20.405
and like watch a kid enjoy it
450
00:18:20.545 --> 00:18:22.005
and like see it from this perspective
451
00:18:22.105 --> 00:18:23.445
but kind of know what they're going through.
452
00:18:24.185 --> 00:18:26.565
But it's funny 'cause we as like all of us are just doing
453
00:18:26.565 --> 00:18:27.645
that for this one little girl.
454
00:18:27.695 --> 00:18:30.925
She's just getting like so much attention and love and uh,
455
00:18:31.625 --> 00:18:33.845
and I mean honestly it's jealousy.
456
00:18:34.185 --> 00:18:35.245
I'm jealous that she gets
457
00:18:35.245 --> 00:18:37.045
to experience Christmas as a 5-year-old.
458
00:18:37.205 --> 00:18:40.685
'cause that was like Christmases in your like five
459
00:18:40.785 --> 00:18:45.325
to 10 year range I feel like is like peak happiness
460
00:18:45.645 --> 00:18:47.365
Christmas day for kids that age.
461
00:18:47.605 --> 00:18:49.965
I don't, I don't know if it get gets much better than that.
462
00:18:50.285 --> 00:18:51.445
I mean, unless you're Tim
463
00:18:51.465 --> 00:18:52.645
and you never grow out of it,
464
00:18:53.615 --> 00:18:55.185
then I would agree with you. Yeah.
465
00:18:55.185 --> 00:18:57.945
But now he has a kid to have to do that for.
466
00:18:58.125 --> 00:19:00.105
So I feel like that takes some of the shine off it
467
00:19:00.105 --> 00:19:02.105
for him. I mean personally, I
468
00:19:02.105 --> 00:19:03.105
Don't know.
469
00:19:03.105 --> 00:19:05.665
I feel like he, he takes Christmas pretty seriously.
470
00:19:05.775 --> 00:19:06.865
Like it's the day after
471
00:19:06.865 --> 00:19:08.385
Halloween Christmas decorations. Yeah, but I
472
00:19:08.385 --> 00:19:10.265
Don't, it's not 'cause I like the present part.
473
00:19:10.295 --> 00:19:11.625
It's 'cause I just like the,
474
00:19:11.865 --> 00:19:13.625
I like the ambiance of Christmas.
475
00:19:13.745 --> 00:19:14.985
I like the Christmas music
476
00:19:15.085 --> 00:19:16.865
and the decorations and everything like that.
477
00:19:18.555 --> 00:19:19.555
It
Is, it is
478
00:19:19.555 --> 00:19:20.215
Like Christmas.
479
00:19:20.215 --> 00:19:22.015
It is nice. It is a nice time of year.
480
00:19:22.415 --> 00:19:24.255
Christmas is a vibe and I do enjoy it.
481
00:19:24.455 --> 00:19:27.655
I just wish that everybody got off like from the 23rd
482
00:19:27.985 --> 00:19:29.335
until January 2nd.
483
00:19:29.715 --> 00:19:32.335
It does feel like this one also went by like kind of fast.
484
00:19:32.645 --> 00:19:34.095
Like even though, yeah, I put everything
485
00:19:34.095 --> 00:19:35.255
up on the 1st of November.
486
00:19:35.395 --> 00:19:37.335
It still just feels like, oh, so we're d we're like done.
487
00:19:37.425 --> 00:19:38.975
We're not doing Christmas music anymore.
488
00:19:39.125 --> 00:19:40.895
Like kind of sucks. Right. I'll
489
00:19:40.895 --> 00:19:41.895
Give it you.
490
00:19:41.895 --> 00:19:42.935
I could've done a couple more weeks. Give you I can,
491
00:19:42.935 --> 00:19:44.215
well I'll give you another week.
492
00:19:44.215 --> 00:19:45.375
I'll give you post New Year's.
493
00:19:45.475 --> 00:19:47.215
But like by the third,
494
00:19:47.215 --> 00:19:49.455
fourth you should probably. You should. Probably doesn't,
495
00:19:49.595 --> 00:19:50.595
It doesn't count.
496
00:19:50.595 --> 00:19:52.095
I mean my, my tree's in the process of coming down
497
00:19:52.355 --> 00:19:54.175
and I'm pretty pissed that it's the 27th
498
00:19:54.595 --> 00:19:56.975
and it's not away yet, but I just got back. So
499
00:19:56.995 --> 00:19:58.615
You're mad that your Christmas tree's still up.
500
00:19:59.045 --> 00:20:00.175
Yeah.
Well what have you been
501
00:20:00.175 --> 00:20:01.335
doing for the last three hours?
502
00:20:02.515 --> 00:20:05.255
Eating, dinner, unpacking, trying not
503
00:20:05.255 --> 00:20:06.495
to feel terrible for myself.
504
00:20:06.755 --> 00:20:08.455
Sounds like excuses to me.
505
00:20:08.675 --> 00:20:10.815
Sounds like you're not succeeding at that second one.
506
00:20:13.635 --> 00:20:16.535
Tim, how, how was your general Christmas? Did
507
00:20:16.795 --> 00:20:18.015
Thence the family thing?
508
00:20:18.115 --> 00:20:20.615
You know, my nephews came over Bow and Allen that I
509
00:20:20.615 --> 00:20:21.735
Thought you did the stranger thing
510
00:20:21.755 --> 00:20:23.335
and just walked up to randoms
511
00:20:23.335 --> 00:20:24.855
and asked if you could go into their homes and join. I
512
00:20:25.155 --> 00:20:26.375
Didn't stranger things yet.
513
00:20:26.715 --> 00:20:31.195
Um, Aren.
514
00:20:31.195 --> 00:20:34.355
You guys glad we're doing this? Everyone's so happy. I
515
00:20:34.355 --> 00:20:36.235
Feel so bad for everybody listening to this,
516
00:20:36.455 --> 00:20:37.555
but guys, we're here.
517
00:20:38.045 --> 00:20:39.435
We're doing it. So you have to listen
518
00:20:39.715 --> 00:20:41.635
'cause we've made it. So please listen
519
00:20:41.735 --> 00:20:42.735
And share.
520
00:20:42.735 --> 00:20:43.195
Well, let's this's
521
00:20:43.195 --> 00:20:44.195
Good.
522
00:20:44.195 --> 00:20:44.235
Talk about vomit again.
523
00:20:45.385 --> 00:20:47.765
This will be the last episode of the year.
524
00:20:48.545 --> 00:20:51.245

What did you get? I learned Hazel. What did Hazel get?
539

Hazel got a lot of, a lot of random things she got,

00:21:15.645 --> 00:21:17.225
she wanted Magic kits this year.
541
00:21:17.445 --> 00:21:19.025
So she got a bunch of magic kits
542
00:21:19.045 --> 00:21:20.305
and a pair of heal. What did you get
543
00:21:20.305 --> 00:21:21.305
For Christmas?
544
00:21:21.945 --> 00:21:25.545
I got this little heavy shirt.
545
00:21:26.445 --> 00:21:27.585
No,
It's called a shack. It
546
00:21:27.855 --> 00:21:30.625
Someone bought you a black button up
547
00:21:31.685 --> 00:21:33.345
but it's thicker than the usual ones.
548
00:21:33.525 --> 00:21:34.745
Is he frozen for you too?
549
00:21:35.565 --> 00:21:37.185
No, that's just you. Okay.
550
00:21:38.205 --> 00:21:41.105
Um, okay, so because we're, this is Tuesday.
551
00:21:41.215 --> 00:21:42.465
It's usually shorter episode
552
00:21:42.995 --> 00:21:44.905
where this is our last one of the year.
553
00:21:45.035 --> 00:21:47.705
We're going into 2026. Let's go over.
554
00:21:47.705 --> 00:21:49.505
What are some things you guys are looking forward
555
00:21:49.645 --> 00:21:50.825
to in 2026?
556
00:21:52.105 --> 00:21:55.265
Hmm. I like this. Okay, now
1990 on the golf course.
557
00:21:56.185 --> 00:21:57.505
Breaking 90. Yeah.
558
00:21:57.525 --> 00:21:59.105
You think you're gonna break 90 this year?
559
00:22:00.035 --> 00:22:01.685
Well, I've shot a 99.
560
00:22:02.065 --> 00:22:04.685
That's a lot. That's like, that's a 10% improvement.
561
00:22:05.315 --> 00:22:06.325
More than that. But
562
00:22:06.325 --> 00:22:07.325
Yeah.
563
00:22:07.325 --> 00:22:10.445
Yeah, yeah. Okay. That's, I mean that's a goal.
564
00:22:10.445 --> 00:22:11.765
That's like a, that's more like a New
565
00:22:11.765 --> 00:22:13.125
Year's resolution kind of thing.
566
00:22:13.675 --> 00:22:15.405
Well what else can you look forward to?
567
00:22:16.115 --> 00:22:18.245
Well, you know, I know you got, you're on a team
568
00:22:18.245 --> 00:22:19.845
that's on a growth trajectory.
569
00:22:20.275 --> 00:22:23.045
Excited for things that are gonna happen there. Maybe about
570
00:22:23.045 --> 00:22:23.885
Racing on this show. Dude,
571
00:22:23.995 --> 00:22:24.995
Arlington .
572
00:22:25.045 --> 00:22:27.765
I guarantee you from the comments people do,
573
00:22:28.065 --> 00:22:32.045
uh, people are quiet.
574
00:22:32.325 --> 00:22:33.885
Somebody did comment and I never respond on
575
00:22:33.885 --> 00:22:35.085
YouTube 'cause I barely ever read 'em.
576
00:22:35.085 --> 00:22:36.645
But somebody's like talk about racing
577
00:22:36.985 --> 00:22:39.045
and I was, I just said what racing,
578
00:22:39.195 --> 00:22:41.165
What racing, what , like what
579
00:22:41.165 --> 00:22:43.285
Racing are we supposed to be talking about right now?
580
00:22:44.185 --> 00:22:46.965
Um, but you know, this I thought was a pretty good segue
581
00:22:47.105 --> 00:22:49.405
so we could talk about racing, but I guess not.
582
00:22:49.495 --> 00:22:51.165
We're just the nineties and vomit.
583
00:22:51.225 --> 00:22:53.405
That's what we're doing this episode. Look
584
00:22:53.715 --> 00:22:57.525
Soon enough something Daytona 24 related will be happening
585
00:22:57.705 --> 00:22:58.845
and then shortly after
586
00:22:58.845 --> 00:23:01.325
that something Formula One testing will be happening.
587
00:23:01.385 --> 00:23:03.285
And then shortly after that there's something called
588
00:23:03.285 --> 00:23:04.405
the Daytona of 500.
589
00:23:04.585 --> 00:23:05.725
And then like after three
590
00:23:05.725 --> 00:23:07.405
Months after that Indy call back on
591
00:23:07.405 --> 00:23:08.405
Track.
592
00:23:08.405 --> 00:23:11.125
No dude, we're on track in February. We raced.
593
00:23:11.165 --> 00:23:12.165
I know James in February.
594
00:23:12.835 --> 00:23:15.485
Well no we raced March 1st. Oh,
595
00:23:15.485 --> 00:23:16.485
March 1st.
596
00:23:16.485 --> 00:23:17.885
Where we qualify in
597
00:23:18.085 --> 00:23:19.085
February.
598
00:23:19.085 --> 00:23:19.525
So you qualify in February.
599
00:23:19.835 --> 00:23:23.405
Yeah. So jerk technicality.
600
00:23:24.305 --> 00:23:28.045
Um, so yes, I mean I'm looking forward to that. Tim.
601
00:23:28.385 --> 00:23:30.885
I'm looking forward to the IndyCar season kicking off again.
602
00:23:31.005 --> 00:23:33.165
'cause it has been a, as everybody who listen, who listens
603
00:23:33.165 --> 00:23:36.525
to the show knows painfully long off season, um,
604
00:23:36.915 --> 00:23:38.405
everybody's excited to get back.
605
00:23:39.105 --> 00:23:41.845
Um, oh, I also would just like to announce that
606
00:23:42.375 --> 00:23:46.285
while I did get knocked out in the semi-finals of
607
00:23:46.945 --> 00:23:48.725
our like, uh,
608
00:23:48.725 --> 00:23:50.245
fantasy football league, I'm looking forward to
609
00:23:50.245 --> 00:23:51.245
This.
610
00:23:51.245 --> 00:23:52.725
I'm looking forward
To your presentation.
611
00:23:53.205 --> 00:23:55.845
I do have to give my presentation from losing last year.
612
00:23:56.045 --> 00:23:57.605
I did not lose this year. I should have made it
613
00:23:57.605 --> 00:23:59.765
to the finals be, but I forgot to set my line up
614
00:24:00.425 --> 00:24:02.565
and so I got a big doose.
615
00:24:02.585 --> 00:24:04.165
You had no players on the bench that would've gotten
616
00:24:04.185 --> 00:24:05.525
you to the finals change.
617
00:24:05.585 --> 00:24:07.845
You don't know that?
I do know that. I looked.
618
00:24:08.195 --> 00:24:10.405
Okay, fine. Well I was, I led the,
619
00:24:10.445 --> 00:24:12.565
I won the regular season and I made it to the semi.
620
00:24:12.685 --> 00:24:14.925
I beat you. So that's embarrassing.
621
00:24:15.785 --> 00:24:19.165
And then in my uh, Fox, um, team
622
00:24:20.725 --> 00:24:22.005
football league, I'm in the finals.
623
00:24:22.705 --> 00:24:25.725
So the kid who knows nothing about fantasy games
624
00:24:25.745 --> 00:24:28.285
or football did pretty well in both.
625
00:24:29.085 --> 00:24:30.645
I feel like you know a bit about, I do have fantasy
626
00:24:30.645 --> 00:24:31.645
Games.
627
00:24:31.645 --> 00:24:32.845
What's that?
I feel like you know
628
00:24:32.845 --> 00:24:33.965
a bit about fantasy games.
629
00:24:34.235 --> 00:24:35.805
I've, Tom, I'm self-taught. Self-taught.
630
00:24:36.185 --> 00:24:38.725
Uh, but yes, I do have my nanny presentation coming
631
00:24:38.745 --> 00:24:39.965
up on Super Bowl Sunday.
632
00:24:41.165 --> 00:24:42.445
I think that needs to be recorded
633
00:24:42.745 --> 00:24:44.925
and put out as a special off track episode.
634
00:24:45.705 --> 00:24:48.485
The thing about you thinking is it usually doesn't end
635
00:24:48.485 --> 00:24:50.125
well for anybody including you.
636
00:24:50.125 --> 00:24:51.205
Especially you normally
637
00:24:51.275 --> 00:24:52.605
Alex, it means you wouldn't have
638
00:24:52.605 --> 00:24:53.925
to do one of the episodes that week.
639
00:24:55.755 --> 00:24:56.285
I'll record it.
.
640
00:25:01.855 --> 00:25:04.815
I do not give my permission to be recorded in that moment.
641
00:25:05.325 --> 00:25:07.055
What are you gonna do, Sue? Off track. Don't
642
00:25:07.055 --> 00:25:08.055
Care.
643
00:25:08.055 --> 00:25:09.005
Ever heard of
Judgment
644
00:25:09.005 --> 00:25:09.945
proof
?
645
00:25:11.175 --> 00:25:13.455
I could just take the money out the accounts
646
00:25:13.595 --> 00:25:15.775
and be like, I agree to this lawsuit on behalf of us
647
00:25:15.775 --> 00:25:17.295
so I can all
648
00:25:17.685 --> 00:25:19.295
$4,000 Go for it.
649
00:25:20.205 --> 00:25:22.495
4,000. What do you think? We had our best year ever.
650
00:25:22.525 --> 00:25:24.895
Calm down. 400.
651
00:25:26.075 --> 00:25:29.055
Um, now we just bought that hard drive. We're debt again .
652
00:25:30.605 --> 00:25:33.055
Yeah, that's right. You spend three 90 on a hard drive.
653
00:25:33.075 --> 00:25:38.015
We got 10 bucks. Also, if you'd like to sponsor our show,
654
00:25:38.155 --> 00:25:40.695
I'm looking forward to some sponsors joining off
655
00:25:40.695 --> 00:25:41.735
track in 2026.
656
00:25:42.015 --> 00:25:43.495
'cause guys they demand we don't
657
00:25:44.065 --> 00:25:45.065
Nanny content.
658
00:25:45.675 --> 00:25:48.495
If we don't then this might be the end of it.
659
00:25:48.615 --> 00:25:51.535
I don't know. , we might be staring at the last year of,
660
00:25:51.675 --> 00:25:52.775
of this train wreck.
661
00:25:53.635 --> 00:25:56.815
Uh, Tim, what are you looking forward to in, uh, 2026?
662
00:25:57.355 --> 00:26:00.855
Um, let's see. I think Arlington is gonna be fun.
663
00:26:01.195 --> 00:26:03.255
I'm really looking forward to that as a race.
664
00:26:03.795 --> 00:26:05.015
I'm gonna be trying to get to more
665
00:26:05.025 --> 00:26:06.375
races this year than last year.
666
00:26:06.385 --> 00:26:08.975
Gonna try to be making more actual live shows.
667
00:26:09.535 --> 00:26:12.335
'cause now I feel like we had some unknowns last year.
668
00:26:12.995 --> 00:26:15.135
You know, we didn't know what was gonna be different
669
00:26:15.135 --> 00:26:16.175
with you with Fox.
670
00:26:16.235 --> 00:26:17.495
We didn't know what was going on with
671
00:26:18.005 --> 00:26:19.575
like settling into ECR.
672
00:26:19.695 --> 00:26:21.015
I feel like we now have a good rhythm.
673
00:26:21.035 --> 00:26:22.255
We know how things are gonna go.
674
00:26:22.395 --> 00:26:25.095
We can start doing more, but, uh, love that.
675
00:26:25.255 --> 00:26:27.055
I don't know, I was talking to Kenna about it.
676
00:26:27.325 --> 00:26:29.455
Like she sent me some meme online
677
00:26:29.455 --> 00:26:33.215
that was like me going confidently into 2026 even though
678
00:26:33.215 --> 00:26:34.775
2025 kicked my ass.
679
00:26:34.775 --> 00:26:35.775
And I was like,
680
00:26:36.645 --> 00:26:37.645
Yeah,
Pretty good.
681
00:26:37.645 --> 00:26:39.775
2025. Like I'd be happy to just keep this going .
682
00:26:40.415 --> 00:26:42.335
Like it's, uh, yeah.
683
00:26:42.435 --> 00:26:46.245
So I'm just, I'm just hoping you know what things I'm, it's,
684
00:26:46.425 --> 00:26:48.245
I'm, I'm ready for some positive momentum.
685
00:26:48.375 --> 00:26:50.565
Let's go into 2026 and kick some ass.
686
00:26:50.875 --> 00:26:53.325
Just keep it rolling. Yeah, just keep it rolling.
687
00:26:54.145 --> 00:26:55.645
Um, Alex has zip Alex
688
00:26:55.645 --> 00:26:56.965
Is gonna burn something down. Yeah.
689
00:26:57.105 --> 00:26:59.125
Is there anything on that zippo? Is it just like a blank?
690
00:26:59.255 --> 00:27:03.245
Zippo? You gave it to me. Oh, it's that one. Yeah.
691
00:27:03.875 --> 00:27:06.085
That is, that noise is, to me one
692
00:27:06.085 --> 00:27:08.165
of the most satisfying noises.
693
00:27:08.465 --> 00:27:09.805
The, the closing and opening
694
00:27:09.825 --> 00:27:12.165
of a zippo is like the best sound ever.
695
00:27:12.225 --> 00:27:15.005
That's like before fidget spinners were fidget spinners.
696
00:27:15.005 --> 00:27:16.205
I would just have one of those in my pocket
697
00:27:16.265 --> 00:27:17.605
as a kid and just make that noise.
698
00:27:18.065 --> 00:27:21.645
