S2E20 - Lost Audio, Coffee Memories, and Thunderstorm Watch

In S2E20, we start by talking through the joys of recording issues, missing audio, Bluetooth problems, and the mystery of why some spam calls kill the track and others don’t. From there, we get into missing LEGO pieces, memories of Joy, Brooke becoming the cat whisperer, whether cats are useful house tools, overly happy coffee shop workers, and why Green Bean coffee downrange still hits different. We also talk about Robby’s otter-like dog Slinky, mowing windows between rainstorms, missing proper thunderstorms, watching for tornadoes from the garage, a wild lightning strike story, giant wasps, mosquito bites, and the important debate of whether you “itch” or “scratch” your leg.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

What's up everybody? I'm in.

SPEAKER_01 0:02

This is Robbie, and we're two assholes in a mic. So where were they at? They were on they were right next to my damn uh nice stand on the floor. Where I put them. Obviously. I didn't even once I saw them, I even remember putting them there. This is how stupid my brain is.

SPEAKER_00 0:26

Crazy brain.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

Yeah, I need to stop doing it. Well, stop eating scenes. Just while we're recording, it's probably annoying.

SPEAKER_00 0:42

Oh, I don't care.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

No, but you're not the only one listening. Well, you probably are the only one listening, but I mean I don't hear I don't hear it if that's what you're wondering.

SPEAKER_00 0:53

Like I I can't ever hear it.

SPEAKER_01 0:54

Oh you just saw me?

SPEAKER_00 0:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

Picking them out, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:00

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

No big deal. Hey stinkers.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Yeah, I don't know what happened to the the last time I recorded Wednesday. There was your audio cut out from a spam call. But so it's like a hit or miss. Some some of the spam calls cut your recording and some of them don't.

SPEAKER_01 1:17

So well, it's like just now connecting my Bluetooth with my headphones fucking disconnected my recording too. Yeah, that's that's it popped up and was all like stop recording. Well, at least I saw it this time where it said stop recording.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Oh yeah. Yeah, I guess I did.

SPEAKER_01 1:36

It's all good. We figured it out.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

I think it was five minutes on the last one. But I'm oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

Look what's in it.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

Noise. Noise. It's your tobacco leaves.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

Yeah, it's my tobacco leaves. I still can't believe that that background didn't come with a head.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Damn. I could take a picture of it and see if they'll send me a new one.

SPEAKER_01 2:08

I keep looking all over the place to see if maybe it rolled off the desk or something. I'm all but I would have heard it, I I would have saw it roll off the desk. Like I opened it and put it together. You know what I mean? Like I opened it and put it together. So I was like, where the fuck the hell that? So I have a head, obviously. I I found one.

SPEAKER_00 2:27

Unless it hit your shorts or something.

SPEAKER_01 2:29

Yeah, but then when I stood up, it would have made a sound. I would have dropped it. I hear all those stupid little sounds and stuff. You know what I mean? Like I know that I would have heard it. Like I can't hear when fucking Aaron fucking barely fucking talks, but I can hear fucking stupid little bugs and shit like that. You know what I mean? Even with these headphones on, I'll hear like I'll hear the fucking wasps buzz by and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

The vibration.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

Probably. It's the low vibration.

SPEAKER_00 2:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

Joy. Joy. That doesn't work anymore.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

Nah, she said she can't fucking hear shit.

SPEAKER_01 3:12

Nope, she's straight fucking deaf.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Deaf deaf.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

Yep. It's sad.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

She said, well, because I talk well, they don't say that they don't think I'm deaf because I talk well. It's like, well, well is a fucking strong word, Joy.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

I was literally gonna say the exact same thing, but I was in the middle of spoken my tobacco. Oh shit. Like, well, I mean, I remember electricity and tute. Instead of what was yeah. What was the other one? Uh crotchet? Crotchet? Instead of crochet. Oh man. Pot purry? She said potpurry. Yeah, me too. I don't know. I'm still kind of irritated at her dumbass for fucking leaving and going to Florida.

SPEAKER_00 4:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

Yeah. I mean, I like hanging out with the kids and stuff. It gave me things to do, you know, a lot of the times, you know.

SPEAKER_00 4:20

Yeah. I can understand somewhat for her that she wanted everyone to be kind of close to each other. I don't I don't know what um, you know, the relationship she has with uh her fuck is firm donor.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Yeah, I don't know either. I don't really care.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

Yeah, I don't pry too much.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Yeah. Me neither. I don't really talk to her too often. I need a FaceTime her again soon one of these days. Usually FaceTime her whenever I talk to her so that uh I can like sign to her a little bit. Makes it a little bit easier to talk for us.

SPEAKER_00 4:56

Yeah. Fucking cat's got here again. It's got a collar on this too.

unknown 5:03

What?

SPEAKER_01 5:04

Oh, a cat?

SPEAKER_00 5:06

Yeah. It's the one that fucking Brooke was whispering to.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Oh gotcha. I'm usually pretty good with cats too. My um aunt and uncle's cats like me. And they don't like nobody except for auntie and uncle. You know, but they like me. They're just like like, oh, there's just a big dumb idiot. He's fine. He's non-threatening.

SPEAKER_00 5:37

Yeah, and I've never been never been a huge fan of cats.

SPEAKER_01 5:41

Yeah, I mean I prefer dogs, but I like cats too.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

I think if you want to get and just don't want to have to maintain it.

SPEAKER_01 5:51

See, that's why I I want to my brother's cat is awesome, dude. He doesn't he's got a litter box, but he doesn't use it. Because he goes outside and he goes potty outside. And then he's killing and eating mice, you know. So he's like legitimately like a house tool or whatever, if you will. You know what I mean? He's like, he's like a tool.

SPEAKER_00 6:13

Yeah, he's earning his keep.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

You know, and you get to pet him and be all he gets all purry and you know stuff, you know. He didn't come up to me because he fucking hated Slinky. So Slinky obviously follows me everywhere, so I literally got to see the cat like for a total of fucking 37 seconds. You know, and it's a fucking awesome like main coon. Like half main coon. I don't know what the other half is, I don't remember, but I wanted to fucking I wanted to hang out with that cat, but like I said, it did not like fucking Slinky at all. Slinky was too much. He's just always so happy all the time, and the cat was all like, bro, you need to chill the fuck out. Kind of like me when a super fucking happy waitress or server or whatever comes up to you, and they're just like, oh my fucking god, this has been the most beautiful day ever. How are you? Can I serve you today? I'm just like, oh my fucking god.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

You're too much back up, bitch.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

Back the fuck up. Your your breath even smells sweet. Get the fuck out of my face.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

I don't like it.

SPEAKER_01 7:27

I don't fucking like it. Nobody's that happy. What are you hiding?

SPEAKER_00 7:33

How many people have you killed?

SPEAKER_01 7:35

Yeah, exactly. How many people are in a basement underneath, you know, locked up in your basement? You can't be this happy. You must be thinking about fucking shit like that.

SPEAKER_00 7:44

I mean, that's like all of the fucking um what's that fucking uh coffee place? Uh it's got the windmill on it.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

Dutch Bros?

SPEAKER_00 7:56

Dutch Bros. Everyone from Dutch Bros is that happy all the fucking time.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

Oh, see, I don't go to Dutch Bros. I don't like Dutch Bros. I do. Maybe probably because of partially for that reason, but I don't the only thing I like at Dutch Bros is their like Red Bull energy drinks, and I can just drink a regular Red Bull and it's cheaper. Yeah. Yeah. I don't I don't get the but I don't like Starbucks either. So I mean I I like going to Major Perk. You know, I like going to fucking local, you get a different coffee blendness. Theirs is a lot stronger. I could see like people not liking Major Perk, but only because like the coffee's so strong, and I like that, you know what I mean? I fucking love that shit. So and I feel like that panders to a lot of military, which they're military-owned and stuff too, you know. So I don't know. I I just really love their coffee. Yeah, I get quad shot.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

Yeah, that's normally what I get when I go out and get something.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

You get a quad shot too?

SPEAKER_00 8:57

Yeah, I always get the largest one they have plus extra shot.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Because like it, the largest one they have is I get a small and make it a quad shot.

SPEAKER_00 9:07

Oh. Uh gasoline. Espresso, espresso, espresso. Oh, with like a splash of something.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

A splash of milk. Alright. That's literally, and I get it in a frap. I get it in a frap, too. So it's like it's like a girly drink. It looks like a girly drink, right? I'm all to put on a little girly drink or whatever. And then if I was to like have somebody taste it, they would be like, what in the fuck is this gasoline shit that you are drinking, sir? My throat's. How is this frosty hot? How is this frozen drink spicy?

SPEAKER_00 9:42

You know what fucking coffee I miss is is green bean.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

I was just yeah, I knew you were gonna say green bean. I almost said it for you, but then I was all like, nah, Ian likes to talk too.

SPEAKER_00 9:56

Yeah, green bean. I miss some fucking green bean.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Yeah, that's what Major Perk reminds me of. That's what the flavor of Major Perk reminds me of. It reminds me of green bean in Iraq, dude. And that's why I think I like it so much.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

I don't know whether or not I miss green bean because the coffee was good, or I miss green bean because it was a coffee shop downrange.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

I think it was probably a little bit of both. Because I'm telling you, I've never had coffee that reminded me of the fucking green bean, and I loved the green bean coffee. So I used to also think this, but I also went from the green bean thinking that Starbucks was gonna be amazing, right? And then I went to Starbucks in Japan after going to the green bean, and I was all like, this shit's garbage, what the fuck? So then I got into my head, I was like, maybe it's the green bean's not that great, and I'm just being picky, you know, over the years, not at that time. At that time, I was all like, dude, the green bean was way better than this. But now over the years, I'm all like, was it was it that good? Same thing. Uh but then when I started drinking Major Perk and I started getting the quad shot small, and I'm all like, ooh, dude, this tastes just like fucking memories. It does, it tastes like green bean memories.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

Hell yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_01 11:07

So I think that's why I like it so much.

SPEAKER_00 11:10

Yeah, I gotta find a place. There is a new coffee shop in town. Haven't gotten a coffee from there yet, but they do some fucking pretty banging ass shakes. Man, what the hell is the name of that place? Toast?

SPEAKER_01 11:20

Like malt shakes or like milkshakes? Both?

SPEAKER_00 11:24

Yeah, milkshake, milkshakes. I think I'm I think I'm delayed. Mine says reconnecting.

SPEAKER_01 11:31

I think our audio is off again. What?

SPEAKER_00 11:36

Hello?

SPEAKER_01 11:38

Hello, hello.

SPEAKER_00 11:39

Hello? Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 11:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

Audio's okay?

SPEAKER_01 11:46

I think it's a little bit delayed. Hello. It's hard to tell with me, I think, because my beard fucking makes a toy. You can't see my lips moving that much. To line up with my voice.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

I don't know. Any movement I see, I assume that you're talking.

SPEAKER_01 12:04

Oh, you can see I see. I guess I can't, because I'm small, so I can't see my face. It just looks like a fucking beard, yeah. I'm a little tiny bearded dwarf guy.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

Just a widow guy.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

Just like Slinky, huh? Oh just a widow guy. Yeah, just a widow guy. Oh, he's such a good boy. He reminds me of a fucking otter. Every time he's running around here, man. I I've probably said that before on streams, but he'd be running around here and it's like sideways, like he's running straight, but his ass end is like not lined up with his fucking, and he just looks like a little river otter to me. And I'm like, man, I wish he loved water, so he'd just be running swimming around in the water, and he'd just he'd be exactly like an otter then.

SPEAKER_00 12:55

Man, that would be fucking funny.

SPEAKER_01 12:57

He don't get into the pool. He doesn't like the pool.

SPEAKER_00 13:00

Does he like water? Like if you spray the hose, does he does he come to the hose?

SPEAKER_01 13:05

No. He'll get near the sprinklers, but only the where it's misty at. He won't go where it's directly spraying. So no, if I get the hose out. I don't actually I've never gotten the hose out with him because now that the sprinkler system is all running properly, I had somebody come and replace some of the nodes in the system. And uh that was the reason why my sprinklers weren't going off on all spots. So now that um that's up and running properly, I don't have to take the hose out every day and water this side of the lawn and the trees. No, they get watered three times a day through the sprinklers now. Monday through Friday. They don't they don't go off on the weekends. I have it turned off right now though, because we've gotten so much rain and I need to mow tonight. But I've been waiting the last couple days because we haven't had rain for like three days now, so I can finally mow where the water you know gathers and builds up. But when the sprinklers go off every day, three times a day, I so I've got them turned off until I get done mowing today and I'll turn them back on.

SPEAKER_00 14:10

But quick, you miss your window, you're fucked.

SPEAKER_01 14:13

Yeah, and that's happened to me. That's why the front, the front, front, it hasn't been mowed in like two and a half weeks because of the rain.

SPEAKER_00 14:21

We're supposed to have rain for the next few days. It's cloudy right now, but no rain.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

Yeah, I think it's supposed to rain again tomorrow. So I have to, yeah, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. There's a chance of rain. Oh damn. So I have to mow today. I was gonna do it early, but I didn't wake up until fucking a little after one. So now I'm gonna do it this evening because that's like the second best time of day to like mow the lawn. It's either first thing in the morning or like in the evening when the grass is cooled down a little bit. And then I'll turn the sticklers on and let them get their water, their wahwa. Let the let the lawn get its wahwa.

SPEAKER_00 15:05

Yeah, it's supposed to be nice here all the next week, all the mid-60s.

SPEAKER_01 15:09

Nice. Yeah, mid-60s all day, but it's got like thunderstorms and scatter showers and you guys actually get thunderstorms, like straight up thunder and lightning and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

Not often. You'll hear some thunder every now and then, but just rain. I miss that though.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

Yeah, dude. It's I'll sit out here, you know. We've we've done it. Yeah. Sitting out here in the fucking garage just in the rain and thunder and lightning and shit. Tornado walk, tornado warnings and all. Who gives a fuck? It's our time, it's our turn.

SPEAKER_00 15:45

We're looking around the corner like, where's this shit at?

SPEAKER_01 15:48

Yeah, exactly. Me and Aaron did the same thing the last just a couple weeks ago. There was uh a tornado supposedly touched down in Alito just for a quick second or whatever. It was about to touch down and didn't touch down or whatever. So we're sitting out in the fucking in the garage and we're just looking out, looking towards Alito, trying to see if we could see it. You know, because the lightning, you know, when the lightning is lighting up the whole sky, dude, you can see a tornado. Shit was cool. Shit's cool. I like sitting out here during that time, just sitting out here chilling. And it keeps Roxy calm if I'm out here with her, too. Like, even if there's thunder and lightning, yeah, she'll stay a little bit calm if I'm out here. Yeah, I can understand that. She'll pace and stuff, but she won't be freaking out. Like, you can see the door where when there's thunderstorms before fireworks start going off, where she's like jumping at the door. It's like almost as tall as me, where she's got claw marks on the door. You know, she's like, let me in, bitch, let me in. Freak out. Yeah, and they're like, there's fucking guns or something, and there's sparkles in the sky. That's funny. She's a good girl. She won't she won't mess with the door on a normal day. Yeah, dude. I do miss that. She she she's having a freak out session. She'll get up on that door. She don't give a fuck if she's gonna get in trouble.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

Like I said, it's uh normally just rainy over here. Don't really see any thunderstorms.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

See, I can I don't I can get done with that too, just because like the one thing I worry about when I'm going in and out of the property during a thunderstorm is closing the gate in the metal to metal right then and there, that second, hit bam because that shit happened. I told you the story about my fucking sales manager, right?

SPEAKER_00 17:35

Uh I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

He went to go close the fucking gate to the fucking property, you know, so you know, and it's a metal gate on metal, and right as it closed, lightning struck the gate, and he was holding the gate and fucking got struck by light essentially. Yeah. Damn. Yeah, he survived, obviously, but I mean they showed the video, and you see the video. Uh, because there's security cameras all over the car dealership, you know what I mean? You see it happen. He's he's got it on his phone, he showed it to me. Fucking crazy. Fuck. That's fucking wild. Yeah, he straight up he like woke, he got up, fucking called his doctor, was like, I think I got struck by lightning or some shit like that, or whatever. Like, you come come to us now. Because he's got heart issues, you know, so he had he called his cardiologist. He like knows his cardiologist, some shit like that, you know, personally, whatever, you know.

SPEAKER_00 18:29

I was about to ask if he had heart issues beforehand or after, but you just just specified.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was before and uh and after. How awesome would it be if it actually got struck by lightning and all his heart issues went away?

SPEAKER_00 18:44

It fixed his heart, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:46

Yeah. Fucks a normal person up, but because he had heart issues, fucking it fixes it.

SPEAKER_00 18:53

What do they call that? Cardiac arrhythmia. Because of a regular heartbeat.

SPEAKER_01 18:59

Yeah, that sounds correct. Cardiac arrhythmia, yeah. That sounds right. Yeah. Dude, there's a shit ton of fucking wasps today. What the fuck was that? Did you hear that?

SPEAKER_00 19:13

There's a wasp uh slapping Roxy. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_01 19:28

Dude, yeah, dude, they're fucking cute though. Like that shit's like semi-believable. I think it was my fucking my drink right here, my plastic drink bottle. But that scared the fuck out of me. Like the one that flew past my face. Yeah. He as he flew by, he's like, Sup, bros. That's what the sound was. We just hear it is but he was like, What's up, bros? Sorry to interrupt your conversation. Shortcut.

SPEAKER_00 20:10

Yeah. If you're gonna put that online, I want royalties.

SPEAKER_01 20:17

Yeah. I want a free homing board in the garage. Rooming board. Hoping board. I got a fucking like a skeeter bite or some shit on my ankle just driving me fucking bananas.

SPEAKER_00 20:34

Bananas?

SPEAKER_01 20:36

Fucking driving me bananas. I try to do it. That old wives tail trick where you like push your fingernail on it or whatever really hard and then fucking leave it alone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Motherfuckers. Yeah, it's not working. I I want to itch it again so bad right now. I just want to I mean scratch it. That shit irritates the fuck out of Aaron when I say I want to itch it. She's like, it's an itch that you scratch. I'm like, my fucking bad, bro.

SPEAKER_00 21:08

Now I gotta pay attention to what I say.

SPEAKER_01 21:11

I say itch all the time. I'm like, I gotta itch it.

SPEAKER_00 21:17

I'm itching my leg. Am I itching my leg or scratching my leg?

SPEAKER_01 21:22

You're scratching your leg. Damn. Your leg is your leg is your leg is itching, but you gotta scratch it.

SPEAKER_00 21:34

I don't know what I say. I'm I because I can I can see myself saying both.

SPEAKER_01 21:40

I know, and I do I do it all the time. And it gets when I say it in front of Aaron, I'm like, my bad, I'm gonna scratch.

SPEAKER_00 21:47

I'm gonna have to fucking pay attention now.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Yeah. All you guys that are uh out there listening in, let us know what you think. But uh that's all we got time for tonight, man. Hope you guys take care. Stay safe.

SPEAKER_01 22:02

Be safe, make no choices, buddy.
