S379 - Guess who's back?

0:03 Hey, guys, before this episode begins, we wanted to take a second to uh honor a friend. So unfortunately, something terrible happened over the last week. Josh lost uh, he lost his boy. He lost Leroy, and yeah, we all felt it. So so this is something I'm glad this went because it's gonna make me laugh a little bit. This is something that happens quite a lot because he had a people name. Let's clarify. Yeah, Leroy was my dog. Yeah, and there was a lot of people that thought that Sam and I had two kids because he had a people name, and we always spoke of him with a people name, you know, Lee Roy is is my dog. Yeah, right, I guess.

0:56 I guess I just assume everybody knows him, you know what I mean, because we didn't, right, Yeah, I get it. Yeah, but I'm glad that happened because it made me laugh a little bit. Yeah that's good. But I just wanted to me and Tyler talked about it because it was so sudden and unexpected, and it was we all. I think we all felt the what do you call it, the shock wave of it, you know, because it obviously doesn't compare to how Josh's in Sam and his family are feeling But I know I was fucked up for days over it, and I still feel it even right now. Saying his name is kind of difficult, having having losing my own you know a while back. I still feel it, and it just brought all of it back. But we wanted to make sure we honored Leleroy in some way and put it out there, you know, like, yeah, he's a real good boy. Yeah he was uh, he was twelve years old and he uh, he wasn't noticeably sick at all prior he was. And this is actually something that I'm so thankful for. He was a puppy up until right before he passed. You know, he didn't suffer, you know, so yeah, I'm thankful for that. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a me, me and Tyler where he he'd come up to help me bring stuff up and whatever. And we

2:30 were sitting there and we were sitting in the barn together and we were talking about it, and we're both sitting there like, you know, trying not to whatever. And yeah, we kind of had a little bit of a laugh because we're like like, damn it, man, you know, I'm gonna miss the bring me a toy. It's not your toy, motherfucker, that's my toy. And he takes off with it. Yeah, and uh, you know, obviously from me and Tyler to you, man, you know, we love you and I appreciate it. We felt it, you know, we still do. Yeah, and I appreciate the uh, the outreach from you and from you guys and everyone. And I know Tyler was worried about bothering me, but I know he was checking on me through you, and that means a lot, you know. And he hate said a couple of times he's like, man, I want to I want to say this, but I'm like, he's I don't want to make him upset.

3:20 I don't want to, you know what I mean. He's like, I know, it's it's touch and go. I understand, man, I understand. It was hard. It's hard for me because I kept thinking, like I want to keep checking on you, but I'm like, I don't want to. Like that's why I said, like, I hope I'm not being insensitive here, like I don't know. And honestly the best thing is to do keep talking about it, you know, because it makes it easier, you know, if you bottle it up and don't talk about it, it just it eats at you, you know, like a cancer. And you know he was way too happy of a dog too. Let us be just miserable forever without him? Yeah, you know, yeah, I know that.

4:02 What can he say? Man? Real, good boy, you guys out there less than you have your you have your dogs near him, Give him a hug, give him a treat. Yeah, continue to send pictures of dogs in yep, you know, more now than ever. Yeah, I just I kind of wanted to. I wanted to say something, like, just say something, but I like, I'm trying to keep myself quiet because I can't open my mouth. I like, I'm I'm getting a little a little hard here, Yeah, because I I know, I know the feeling. Like it's not the fact that like I've like I've had dogs pass away and stuff, but just knowing how I like, I just enjoy the the joy that dogs give you, and I understand that pain and I could feel it just as much as anybody that has lost a dog is because I know. And plus what got me the most is that when I like, as big of a shock it was, I was like it was just like the whole thing with Denny again, Like I was just heartbroken because of how like this was a very big part of your life. Yeah and that and that in return, I'm like so like upset that you're going to be like this is gonna affect you. And I appreciate that, man. Yeah.

5:25 But uh, in the end though, it thought it'd be really nice to say something about Leroy. Josh sent us a picture over here where you can see him. Yeah, it's him and I at Tops Island on the beach looking at the water. And what a beautiful picture. And Josh actually has legs. Yeah, look at that, Look at his legs. You only suit her here down usually from here up. Yeah, what a happy boy. Yeah, beautiful thing. But uh, you're building something for him, you said, right, So yeah, that's that's beautiful. I know you've showed me a little bit of it. I can't wait to see it all all done. I hope I can keep it together when I see it all done. But uh, if I if I know, if I know you at all, I know it's gonna be absolutely breathtaking. So I'm gonna try.

6:15 Yeah. So yeah, rest in peace, Leroy. I'll never forget you. Thank you, and on with the show. Yeah, h oh, I really appreciate it. Guys at the game during duty in the game to put in the bay to the game into the top. You are listening

It's gonna sucks so bad when we get to the table and everything in here. Uh, you guys out there watching this

9:46 is not a great screen. This is this is real. I moved. Kay, congratulations, thank you. I wanted to get this out of the way before before telling any of the hilarity of it. But all this time that you've been listening and watching. I've been living in a fifth wheel camera, a fifth wheel camera, and I've been I was living out in the woods, out in the country, and uh, there was a whole there was a whole plan. There was this whole thing that was gonna happen with that. It fell through, it didn't work out, you know whatever.

10:28 But we ended up having to stay there for like three and a half years, and this whole time, while maintaining the show with the fellas here, I've been literally working my ass off and my wife is also to try to get to this. So we bought a small farm across the river. So you're probably probably some of you might might hold a grudge to me for that. Shall should lower your fucking prices down there, is all I'm saying. All Right, Jesus Christ, he's already a snooty Northerner, you see that. I am a norse Man now, I guess. But I'm saying I love Kentucky always will you know. I loved it my whole life, but in the end, it literally came down to what I could afford. Yeah, we found a small farm up here, actually not as not as far away as you'd think it only takes me fifteen minutes to get back across the river again. It's a small it's a small farm. It used to be an orchard for years and years and years since the nineteen thirties. It was it was like grapes. And they told us all this stuff. It had wheat here, it had of what was the other things? It was some weird vine fruit. I don't know, but uh, yeah, they did

12:00 all kinds of stuff here. What was it like ten years ago, I guess or more the another guy came in and he reseated the whole thing and grew nothing but corn here, made it into this big farm or whatever. The soil in the back is literally black if you like scoop it up, it's black. It's amazing. And uh, we brought all of our animals here. There's like seven goats, you know, a couple of dogs for the sake of city or you know, ordinances. There's I don't know how many chickens, and there's you know, some other odd looking chickens in there. You know, weird that there's an ordinance. And how many chickens you can have I've got I've been thinking about that a lot because technically You're supposed to register six of them, right, But the damn this thing happened is I can't tell which six are registered, and nobody's talking like I've been taking them aside. They won't rad each other out, you know what I mean.

13:05 They're like, are they fucking firearms? Why do you have to register a chicken? I don't know. I don't know. I really don't. You know, she had to, she had to register the ghost to all the goats are registered with the town or whatever, the township. I don't really understand it, to be honest, But across the street is a massive horse horse ranch and uh, it's it's gorgeous, dude, Like I mean, it's it's looks like a park when I when I pulled up, I'm like, oh, we're across the street or a park. That's badass. No, No, that's sub dude's house in this horse ranch. I'm like, holy ship. And uh, my wife's friends uh and and our well, our friends came over and one of them he'd done construction over there, and he was telling me the history of the place held like it used to be this. Uh there was a water tower thing for filling up water trucks there and all this stuff, and the family bought it and turned it into a horse branch. It's it's gorgeous. But what our plan is is to make our little farm. Uh, we're going to try to make it, you know, a compliment to it. I guess, you know, like we want it to be gorgeous too, And for that, I'm gonna need a zero tone motors. So y'all are gonna have to step up the downloads.

14:24 Okay, So as soon as this is overpress replay, listen to it twice. Okay, you might have missed something. Y'all need to get new IPI addresses, new email addresses, new sign ends. Then he needs a mower, little shit. But yeah, I know you guys are up to speed, but the listeners are. So we've been in the process of moving, and me and the guys here we took a hiatus to give me time to move and whatnot. And the one of the final nights of coming up here, I brought my old dog, Journey, who's one hundred and eighteen years old and just apparently fucking getting younger by the minute. I don't know.

15:09 So I'm coming up seven forty nine to get here, and it's a it's a country road. It's really windy, and it's you know, a lot of farms and whatever. And I'm trying not to take the turns too sharply because for some infinite wisdom journey moment, she doesn't want to sit down. She's standing in the seat like she can't hear a goddamn thing, but she sees a lot of stuff, so she's like, you know, I can almost smell the sounds, you know. So a fucking deer comes out of nowhere, and I fucking it was literally like there's a deer boom.

15:52 Right, So started counting the twenty because it's a Chevy Cruise, which means that as soon as it takes any kind of you know, to the front, you got about twenty seconds before she goes into overheat. And this was much more than a right. So I pull in twenty seconds later on the nose, I pull into the gas station and the car is overheating. And yeah, so that was that was great. That was awesome. Journeys five and I don't even think she felt much. I think the the hitting the deer actually quickened her and made her feel more alive than she normally does I don't know. Yeah, everything's backwards with that dog. But uh yeah, so insurance. We switched the insurance up here to the Ohio side because the house and the cars are all bundled on it now. And these these fits are amazing. They got me a rental car, like the next day, they sent a truck out to get my car to take it like two, and it's down the road to the shop where it's at, and uh, I'm in like my wife's on the phone with him, and I'm in the other room here and I don't remember what it was what I was doing, but I could hear talking to him about the rental car, and I yelled in there. I was like, hey, let's not go too crazy with the rental car because I don't want to be depressed when I have to pick up my car, right. And then I hear her go, yeah,

17:26 he should be good with the Camaro, and I'm like, motherfucker son of a bitch, and she's you know, she does the well, you don't want the Camaro. I'm like, of course I want the Camaro. I'm just not gonna want to give up the Camaro. Yeah, but uh, silver lining is uh I get to keep the Camaro for another couple of weeks. Nice. And uh, I'm really really knocking on wood here that I don't get a ticket with the goddamn thing because she scoots. Yeah, and I just put it into sport mode yesterday for the first time. This whole time I was in touring mode. Yeah, you know, highway highway MPG.

18:07 Man, you know what I'm saying. I uh, I put her into sport mode yesterday and uh yeah, I kind of floorated out of the driveway and ended up in the other lane and a little bit of fish tailing going on. But I'm none the worst to wear. Hopefully the place never sees this. Yeah, it's been it's been exciting. It's been exciting, a lot, a lot of fun moving. Yeah, you'all gonna have to watch this twice frights. Just don't forget that guest appearance. Back there is my my son. You can kind of see him back there, kind of yeah, hey son, wave with the fans. Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's been a it's been fun, man. But we got here though.

19:08 We made it, you know. And then I mean the wife for we've we've I know, I've said it before we talked about it. We're we're planning on doing a we're planning on doing a limited like podcast kind of thing where we're gonna start at the beginning of how it all started and literally just tell each episode in sequence. And the one really cool thing I like about it is, as we've been kind of like jotting down how we're planning it, is that each chapter is a song lyric that we like, So it'll be we'll pull song lyrics from songs that remind us of that part of what happened, you know, And it's a it's pretty cool. And I think Tyler suggested a name that we really liked, and it's a it's going to be called Helen Back. Yeah, just basically what happened, how it all went to ship and the long ass fight to get back to well where we feel like humans again. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Yeah. You know, I've been up here for a week now and I've seen a couple of giant groundhogs and in an absolute horde of a very disturbing deer, but no big puts yet, So I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

20:38 Maybe it's big pots are study too. Maybe Ohio big. Are you sweet too? I don't feel like in Ohioan that makes sense, Like I feel like out of place a little bit, right, Yeah, it's more like you're you're a diplomat. I'm an emissary. Yeah, so I'm here to negotiate with her. Right so you know, your your property. We need to annex it into the state of Kentucky. I'm down so that we can use it like an embassy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, dude, I love this. Yeah yeah. I was trying to maybe the listeners can help out with this too. I was trying to figure this out because I've been getting a lot of the comments were like, Oh, he's gonna be damn Buckeye now or he's damn Ohio and now right, And I'm like, is it instant? You know what I mean? Like, if it is, it is whatever. But right, so, forty two years in Kentucky, I don't have to wait till I'm eighty five to be in ohioan, you know what I mean? Like that makes sense? Oh you got to put this this way too, Is okay? If you moved out of the country, are you not American anymore? That's kind of where I'm at with this. I'm like, how does this exactly work? Well, I don't know, because you don't have to real English citizenship when you go from state

22:12 to state. That's true. Yeah, you know. And here's the thing too, is he works in Kentucky, so he's a daily visitor. He's going to be playing music in Kentucky pretty much has to because our drummer lives so much further south that I'm pretty sure he would quit if he had to go to your house. Yeah, he's on a show called k y X. You know, it's a saying. I mean to me, I'd say, he's still a Kentucky And that's all. I'm kind of wondering, you know, because I'm like, am I like, am I have? Am I like partial? You know? My hybrid? Mm? Because I mentioned it to a guy at work, I'm like, I was like, if you're telling me that the instant I lived here, I was automatically in Ohioan and that means that all my time spent in Kentucky meant nothing. Right.

23:11 We cannot accept that. And I don't accept that. Some people will say it's like it wherever you're born, that's where you're like, that's where you're from. Technically I'm in Ohio, and then I was born in Ohio. Really yeah, I was born in fucking Ohio. And Buck guy, you know that, you know the di I've never lived anywhere else other than Kentucky though, right, what I was gonna say. You know the difference between a buckeye and a briar, don't you. You can wipe your ass for the buckeye, you can wipe as for the Buck guy. Yeah, I've heard that one. There was a there was another one that I don't think I should utter on the show. I was told a long time ago buy a buckeye, which was weird. Yeah, mm hmm. Well, I'm sure there's no shortage of weird shit that happens up here. I'll start digging in immediately, you know, I don't know. There's gotta be right, I mean, oh yeah, did you guys see that Bobby Mackie's is getting torn down? Oh my god? Yeah. I can't believe that we have so many movies that told us why you shouldn't do this, right, I already know what's going to go there after it's torn down. What Amazon?

24:32 I'm not I'm joking, but I'm just saying, Amazon, is definitely going to buy because I think they're going to start their new Harbord division right there. Well, you know what, I hope it helps with this. Uh your package is running late problem? Well they they got free labor right there. They just have the goat smooth the packages. Damn it. Trying to like like you have to be the supervisor of a ghost like your productivity. So dude, when that came across my feed, it came across my Facebook feed, it was a bunch of friends posting it. I'm like, this is gotta be a joke. I don't want to be anywhere near that place when they start bulldozing it. Could you imagine being the guy like doing it like I'm thought, this is the day I'm going to die. Yeah.

25:25 Do you remember remember the Witch's Tree, how they kept having problems for years trying to cut it down, just shit over and over, equipment breaking and people getting hurt and all this every time they tried to cut the damn thing. Can only imagine what Maki's is gonna be. Like. You couldn't pay me enough to be an equipment operator to start yanking down Macki's. There's no way. That's why I thought it was just in business for so long was because no one wanted to tear it down. That's why it looks so bad. It's because nobody wanted to work on it. It looks like shit. It literally looks like somebody like there would be like a wall, and then you see like just plywood on one side. Like it literally looked like they just put it up in the middle of the woods. Oh yeah, dude, we didn't say it. I'm sorry. I had to move this because it looked like I had the tiniest pop filder ever. Yeah, it looks like you have like a bottle cap on a stick. We get rid of that. There we go. I don't know that helped it all, but I don't think it matters. Yeah. I kept reading it and I kept seeing it in Half of the people commenting are like, neither not, And then Bobby Mackie's is like, no, we are, yeah, but what's actually going there is Bobby Mackie's Yeah, I'm like the rebuilding. Yeah, yeah, apparently they're gonna set up shop somewhere else. Location does the ghost

26:59 do the ghost go to? I don't. I just don't know how this works, right, What's the logistics where they where are they setting up shop? Tell me it's the Playpen. Oh, there's already. Never mind, I shouldn't. I shouldn't go there because because because if the ghosts go there and don't come back, then you're gonna have hunted vaginas. I had to you mean more than usual, more than usually. I love the first day we're back and we get canceled. For those that are listening that don't know what the Playpen is, it's locally known as the pig Pen, and it's a strip club of the worst variety, the ladies of the night. Yeah, it's I've never went past there, and there's not cars there, and I don't understand. I've never been. I've never actually been in the place, but I've heard the stories I have. Is this a good look at disappointment? Yeah, I guess I don't. Like I'm not saying that it's like the cream of the crop, and it's not like it's not like a normal thing. I don't normally go to these types of things because we don't.

28:18 I would have answered, I would have answered, but I had I was really thirsty. So I'm just gonna keep drinking and move on. I can see like we should pop in one time with Tyler and it's gonna be like norm from Cheers Tyler, Tyler what no there? Once they're like, they're like, hey, you left your wallet, slide it over to him. It's literally his picture. I broke down here. I must have dropped it outside and there's a booth with a with a like a portrait of him over it and fresh flowers for like for his birthday in the picture. Yeah, we love Tyler. He spends so much money here. Yeah. Have you ever known? Like, Okay, I I have to let disclose this because I want to know if anybody's like has gone to any of their local strip clubs. I don't know why I air quoted it for some reason.

29:23 Gentlemen clubs. This is the like what I've been to two? Is it? Yes? I believe a gentleman's club. The girls do not get naked. I believe they don't. They don't get they don't get Yeah. Yeah, I think that's like the Spearmint Rhino down Lexington. Yeah. I think this is that. Uh that's but no, okay, fucking to see the thumbnail for this episode. Okay, you know, Okay, you guys don't.

30:07 Don't sit there and deny that you haven't been to the least one in your life. Oh yeah, okay, okay. You know how they'll they'll introduce whoever's going on stage and they'll play music, play Pen's not like that. They'll introduce the like whoever's going on. But they have to pay. They have one of those iTunes jukeboxes. They put dollars in themselves that they get and play a song. So that's why they go around making a little like around before they go on stage, like, Hey, you want to give me a dollar so I could play you with thone or something like that. Say what place does this? They're literally making making the strippers pay for their music their subcontractors. Yeah, I wonder if that's a ten ninety nine.

31:00 Oh ahead, it absolutely is. Yeah, you can write do they do you think they get a receipt? I was going to say this, this is a jukebox sped out a receipt for every song, because how you can? I mean that's a business man. Yeah, you know, we talk all the ship about this place. We can. But when grandma needs a few extra dollars for bingo, it's it's available for that's true, you know what I mean? This is true? So that that brings me to the question, like, because we're always talking about the whole Bobby Mackie thing, where are the ghosts going to go? Like are they going to go with Bobby Mackie's or they're just going to go to the next closest place.

31:42 That's what I was saying. Is the next closest place is the playpen? Yeah, that's the next building up, isn't it. Plus it's I don't really know the logistics here. I mean, if they go far, how do we know the ghosts can even make it? How you know, what if they can't get there? What if they're like and that's fucking I'll be fucking floating around all night trying to get to that. That's too far, right, Yeah, thumbs up. Pitching rides on Yeah, route little ghost uh ghost picket signs in front of the place. And is that is that rounde eight right there? Yeah? No, that's round nine nine nine because it's still yeah the double A the double Yeah, yeah, that's route what's Route ten? Route ten's right by like where the fair grounds and stuff is.

32:37 Ten takes you to California where your old house was okay, that's ten. Okay. You ever know, it's like sometimes when you try to like figure out where they all are, they're not. They don't really run very like relative to each other. Yeah, so you're like, the hell fucking numbered these because Route eight is right by where certainty are what the drywall plant? Yeah yeah, and it's as bad as Route eight is. I will give it this. It's the most consistent road. I mean there's the the you can't count on your fingers and toes, the haunted places down on Route eight, and then the road being shitty. It's consistent all the way.

33:23 M h. It's like horror movie, Like just made for a horror movie because the road is so bad that is inevitably going to destroy your vehicle at some point and then you're going to be broke down in front of a haunted location. Yeah. I mean, it's a fucking Scooby Doo cartoon. Yeah. I told you guys about being down at the bar that my friend's own. Actually you guys know them too, so our friends on it. Uh, And I walk in one day and I'm like, it's a it's kind of a drop, it's a to deliver it. It's a drop. You just kind of go in and you leave everything you know, and you you lock up and leave. And Uh. I go in there and I'm like, oh god, I gotta go bathroom, bro bad, getting getting emotional here, you know. And so I get use the bathroom and there's nobody there but me, and I'm on my phone. I'm like texting back and forth with my wife and out in the main room, I hear the piano go. I literally go and I text her and I'm like, now the piano is playing. Is this the place? Who sent me the video of the door? The fucking door? I want to go there so bad because I feel like this is where I can I can shine, you know.

34:42 I know construction, I know buildings, So if it's like, if it's something natural, I can be like, no, you're good, you just got shitty maintenance guys. Yeah, Or I can be like, no fucking doors haunted. Did I ever show you guys? The chat back and forth with UH with Nick about that the door. I don't believe I know Nick Ninja, oh barely know him. Yeah. So I sent him the video and he goes, well, what the fuck that's new? I'm like, damn it he's like, yeah, because it's usually sticks to the event. I'm like, I know, in fact, it's stuck to the event the whole time. My helper was going in and out and it doesn't. It's the fucking timing is what made it weird. It's if anything else, it's the timing of it. I was done, check is or the invoice is on the thing. I take the check with me to enter it in, grab the key, and out the door. I go. And as I got the door, I turned to grab the door and it's I'm like, he waited until it was done to slam the fucking door on me. Mm hm hmm, okay whatever. So, yeah, it's just the timing of it's weird. And he was he was saying hell. He's like, yeah, the door usually never never shuts like that. He goes. But then again, I mean, the cheap box has been randomly coming on with with songs that Grandma liked. I'm like, you guys, are you guys are

36:16 really ruining like one of my best poop spots. I'm just saying, you gotta pick them. When you're into my business, pick your spots. I would love to know because the piano thing that's that's something you hear. That's a that's a common thread, right. I remember a mutual friend, well I wouldn't call him a friend, but a mutual person that you and I both know, Denny a quaintances. Well, at one point in time we thought of him as a friend and then he was a total ship bag. And I'm already starting to think that I think Denny's catching on who it is. A fief, a liar, is such and such actually lived in the place that Dave grew up in before Dave. Dave was the transplant after that, which was great. One musician leaves, another one comes in. It was awesome. But there was a piano in the basement of that house because the people that lived there prior to them, the old woman that lived there was a piano teacher. And I can remember spending the night there and hearing the plink plink occasionally on the piano, and I'm wondering if there's like a a temperature change or humidity change that can cause that. Absolutely, yeah, you know, so I know that it freaked out this person's grandma and grandpa

37:47 who bought the place enough that they destroyed the piano and halt out, halted out in garbage cans. Yeah, yeah, I know, he's scary. If it actually started playing as they were calling it out, you would hear clear you would hear clear notes like and it would ring out like the resonator pedal was down or something. I've heard that happen before. My grandmother had an upright piano. That's what this was. And uh, it would it would do that, you know temperature change. Wood would creak and you'd hear the you know thing. So to put it in professional perspective, I was a bit of a drifter when I was much much younger and left my place to go stay at a friend's dad's place. He was not as physically able to do stuff on the farm as he used to be, so I was kind of like a live in farmhand. I lived in the basement, paid a little bit of rent, and did a bunch of work. But there was an upright in the basement there and never once, not once, didn't hear it in the year I was there, did I hear a piano go bink in the middle of the night or during the day or not one time?

39:02 And I was there for an entire year. So change of seasons. There was a wood stove in the basement that it was actually would furnace the heated the house so like dramatic temperature changes, you know, you know what I mean, like come home and light the fire and heat the house up type stuff. Not once did I hear it. So that's, uh, that's why I've got curiosity about it. Because I heard it at this other place. I physically heard it. And then when Dave moved in and he can attest to this, we both heard the piano playing and the piano was gone. I helped carry the son of a bitch out, Oh my god, and we both heard the piano blink blink. Yeah. It was weird.

39:50 See. I was like, I'm a fucking skeptic, and I'm like, what the hell is going on? Why am I hearing this shit? You know. When I was in a very a very vulnerable position and I heard the piano in this bar, right, I wasn't freaked out. I heard a little thinking, and I'm like, right now, it could be anything, but I made I made light of it. I was like, well, the piano is fucking playing, you know what I mean. And my wife cares, Oh lord, you know she's like, oh, nope, nope, nope, but uh, I think that if I was if I would have been in again in a very vulnerable position and I would have heard like yeah, then I would have I would have freaked out more, but a little, like a little today, we would call that rapid evacuation.

40:46 Yeah, of every sense of the word too, because it would have been a full on drop troal drop load and then get the fuck out of this place. It's always like I always that's those are the types of moments that I would I hate because I'm like, dude, I'm I hate to be in that position, like in the bathroom, like in any scenario going to the like going to the bathroom or in the shower, I'm in a very vulnerable position and you're going to try some shit. Yeah, that's like I was like, come on, at least until I'm like decent, Yeah, because I really don't want to run out of this house, our plates.

41:30 Yeah, like just showing everybody everything because now I'm scared, and then on top of it, I'm getting arrested. Yeah. Well, I mean think like the first few minutes of the movie Zombielance, that's the first thing they talk about is. You know, don't go to the bathroom. That's the most vulnerable position you're in. First off, your cornered, you're surrounded by walls, there's only one exit, and your pants are around your ankles. Yeah. I think that's all valid too, because, like, I'll be honest with you, if I had I just eaten a bunch of taco bell in, you know, some crazy shit started happening while I was in the bathroom. I guess I'm dying because it's I mean, either way, it's not gonna end well, So I guess I'll just I'll just stay here.

42:19 Yeah. Right. I would hope that the ghost would like, pus you open the stall and be like, oh, you know everything okay. Yeah, Oh she's cleaning her barn. Nice. Yeah, she has a barn. That's awesome. Oh man, this this morning. Uh, before before Tyler sent the message over, I was like, we were laying in bed and we're just like just letting the furnace just bake us, you know, and we're we're sitting here and I'm like, I should turn over so the other side cooks evenly. Yeah, and we hear a in the middle of the room out here. Yeah, I'm literally sitting there like huh.

43:12 She's like, what do you think that was? And I'm like, I don't know. She's like, man, I hope I ain't. I hope I ain't. Nothing Like you know, I'm like, I don't even care on it. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, I don't care. You know. Right if there isn't a ghost hanging around here somewhere, I'd be a little disappointed, right, Yeah. Yeah, I'm like why why do I mean, why would why would that be? You know? I immediately get this amazing feeling just being here. Yeah, Like, I don't. I don't imagine. Do you have a date on the build of that house? Because I can tell by the millwork around the doors and your baseboards.

43:58 They're just the size of the wood they used that this place is old. What what do you what do you what would you guess? Does it have drywall or is it a plaster some A lot of it's been redone, so there's there's a mix of both, Okay, but there is plaster there, there's some, yes, yeah, okay. Do you have floor vents? Yes, there's there's a couple here, but it also has some wall vents, all right, do you have Do you have like the big returns that go into the floor into the basement or no basement or what do you got? There's there's no basement, okay, cross base the cross space was filled in, okay, or the you know what I mean, like they used to have like a root seller kind of deal, but it's all filled in and solid. Now. Do all the doors look like the one behind you with the multipanels? Uh? No, that's I really wish I could get the camera over to the doors. I really want to share the you chew you these doors, Josh, I could see one behind you. You can see this one in this room. Yeah. Yeah, they're not like that. They're big wooden like like goddamn like that thick farm like like farmhouse doors. Dude, Okay, I got it. Get a picture of them for you. I bet you'll. I bet you'll have it, like you'll know. It's hard to say without actually like actually being in the house, but I'm going to say somewhere in the nineteen tens. Uh that's that's actually

45:29 earlier. It's it's in the like early nineteen thirties. Okay, Okay, so it's still got a lot of that you know that style whatever with with with remodel houses, It's hard to tell. Yeah. One way to tell too is if you like anything pre depression usually has a lot of wood, a lot of big woodwork, right, and it's all real wood, okay. And then around the depression and shortly thereafter, you'll notice that like all the windows and doors or different sizes in the house because they're materials of opportunity, right okay. And in around the thirties, people still weren't doing as good yet because World War II hadn't happened and boosted the economy. So anything from the thirties to the forties, it's gonna look like the nineteen tens and twenties houses. But instead of using all real wood, like those big panels and stuff above the doors and things like that, a lot of that I'll actually be plywood because it was cheaper. I really wish I wouldn't have done that. Yeah, the uh, you just need to blow out the screen because it's not focusing. There we go. But what I was trying to figure out with is the door opening going in behind you, if that upper section was actual wood casework, or if it was if it was an old trans and window that would allow heat to transfer, because that'll that'll pinpoint you too far. So it looks like it might be foe which should have that points to the thirties, But if it was an actual window that was filled

47:00 in, it would have been from the tens. Yeah, okay, does it makes sense like your ceilings aren't high enough to be eighteen hundreds? Yeah? These the big what do you call it? Uh? You know how that's got the recess into the windows. This is technically supposed to be a dining room area. Yeah. Yeah, it's like if if this is the outer wall, this kicks in, yeah, like protects light in. It's an amazing man. I love this shit. Your baseboards are really tall too, so that tells me that it's like it's pre pre fifties. Yeah. Man, it's cool. Man, I dig everything. I love about it.

47:43 Like I've always wanted an old farmhouse. Yeah. I've never really been the like modernist, you know what I mean. Like I've never really liked the like super fancy. Yeah. And I when when we came here to see this place, I was like disturbed. I was disturbed by my own how much I was like falling in love with it like quickly. I can see why you would. Man, it's gorgeous, just the snapshot that we're seeing right now, you know, because we haven't made it. I don't think Tyler has yet, but I know I haven't made it up there, Tyler. Tyler hauled a trailer up here for me, okay, and dropped it off. It's actually how it hurt my arm. The trailer was on blocks. The jack had broke on the trailer, so it was gone.

48:27 And when I went to we went to lift it up on the blocks, I had my arm twisted and I pulled and something in here popped. Oh And for like the whole week, dude, I had the hardest time just lifting my arm up. And even now I have like a tenderness right in there. I don't know, I don't know what to do, but I'm like, man, I'm gonna have to deal with it. I can't be off work. I can't, you know, gotta make them money, right, I'm making money. So watch this episode twice periodically checking in. We got some We've got a couple of missed weeks. We got to make up for the number in and down. Go back and watch all of the other episodes all over again, everything twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tyler's air drumming. Watch it on every platform, every platform. Listen to it on you know, iTunes. Tell us if it sounds better Spotify or iTunes.

49:28 Are we on Pandoria? I know that I should know this, Yes, okay, listen to us on Pandora. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're on a shipload of things, more ship than I even realized. Yeah, I know we're on Audible now. We've been on Aible for a while. Nice, I can remember the one that's the Australian based Hell. Yeah, dude, you know what love under to our Australian cousins. Man, You guys and us are the you know that we're we're like the step children of of Britain. And I like to think of us as cousins. You know, we're like they're they're over there doing some Australian hillbilly stuff. We're over here doing some hillbilly stuff. You know. I like it. Yeah, I just don't want to visit because all everything they have will kill you.

50:15 Yeah. Yeah, that's that's it. You come over here, man, you don't got to worry about our deer, like, you know, trying to maul you in your house, you know what I mean, or trying to fist fight you. Yeah. Yeah, they saw a picture. I saw a picture of cow in Australia that had killed a snake and it had it in its mouth. Yeah. This is the things you gotta worry about in Australia. That's what I'm saying. Our cows are so peaceful here. Yeah, it's like, man. Yeah, my daughter woke up one day and there's a big ass groundhog hanging out right outside her window. She named him Gregory. Oh that's not good because you're gonna have to kill that thing. Yeah yeah, hopefully, hopefully. I told her I made a joke because the wife is like, she's pretty meticulous. She's like, if there's mice in here, we're getting rid of them. So she just automatically puts some traps down and baits them, you know, and if there's anything, she wants it out right right. And I made the joke that Sam was gonna wake up and there's gonna be this giant hedgehog with a sticky track stuck to her, stuck to it, like did it did it? I'm like it to peel it. Queen hell out of here, Gregory, you got too many outbuildings to have a groundhog hanging around. You got to get rid of that thing. He's uh, he's up front here. Uh there's a big tree stump, that tree that was taken out, and he's got

51:49 his burrow in it in the front yard. In the front yard. The hell's wrong with that groundhog. I've never seen one go that close to a road. He's just hanging I don't know. Yeah, the other morning I went to a leaf for work. Dude, I hit the remote thing on the Camaro to get I keep forgetting that. It's a habit because out of the other place, I don't have any lights anywhere, So in the morning I would hit my car. The car headlights would light up. That gives me where I can see what I'm doing, right, So it's a habit. I all hit the car and I go out. Well, as I'm walking, dude, these overhead lights are just kicking on, and I'm like, you know, I look out in the field, Dude, it's just hurt a deer standing there, Like, Fuck's wrong with this? Dude.

52:44 You're out there having an episode because of the lights. The lights were freaking me out. You know, it senses you and it just kicks on. Yeah, yeah, I know this like this is nothing. I mean, I'm sure you listen it out there, you're probably like, dude, yeah, everybody's got this. Well, dude, you got it. You got you get acclimated to pretty much be in uh, what's Jeremiah Johnson there for a while. You know, you're out in the woods, you know, Yeah, Barret, don't know how many legs a horse got. You know, you're out there. I mean, though, and I wonder why people think I'm that. People think I'm the old one. I'm quoting some fucking fifties movies and shot over here. There's nothing relevant comes out of my mouth.

53:25 Yeah. My daughter told me she's she's like studying all this different stuff, you know, like how people's minds work and all this stuff. You know, she's so much smarter than I am with this. And she said it, living out there that way puts you into a state of survival mode. Okay, and you don't realize that you're constantly in survival mode. And then like when we got here, man, me and the wife have noticed it's it's difficult for us to just slow down and just live Yeah, we constantly feel like something must be done right now, something has to be has to happen right now. And apparently my daughter was saying that it has something to do with when you get out of survival mode, you start to focus on self mode or whatever, you start to live and whatever. So it's weird because it's so fucking accurate that I was like, and I'm always spiteful about it. I'm like, that's not how it is. But in all actuality, I'm like, that's pretty that's pretty close. But I'm not gonna tell her that, right. But Yeah, the lights were kicking on.

54:42 Dude, I'm jumping, like the automatic why is that turning on? Yeah? And that this is so stupid and I hate gushing like this about it. But I look out and I can see my deck. I have a I have a side deck, right, and I'm so not used to seeing it that I still look at it. I'm like, what the fuck is that? And it takes me a couple of seconds to be like, oh, yeah, that's right. It's a fucking deck, like a deck I don't know. And it's a it's a good decent sized deck too, Like it's not as big as some decks. I know, some decks are a lot bigger than other decks, but this deck is is nice. It has a nice like like some bushes around it. Very it does like overgrown.

55:29 I love down. Yeah, deck will look bigger. I can't wait for the I can't wait for the thumbnail for the second half of this episode. Actually, uh I, I have to give credit to my dad for that joke, because my dad, years back, built a He built this big deck around a pool, and almost daily he would be like, check out the size of my deck. Oh my yeah, it's a nice deck. Dad, Are you about to tell the fella Ensemo's story? Like my decks, My deck's big. But you should see my dads. I sally pulled that on a guy at work. He appreciated it. I should see my dad's. Yeah. No, it's just weird. It's getting getting acclimated and getting getting out of that state of mind. You know. I was actually really worried about getting on here and doing the show. Yeah, I was worried that I wouldn't be in the right mind state. Yeah, like I'm not in a camp or I'm not out in the woods. I'm not close to it anymore. I'm in a house now. I mean, you know, it's kind of you're out in the country still, though, I am.

56:42 I do like that. I have to take some pictures today and send you guys out. It looks today's Yeah, we're going to get some deck pics. Oh god, you wait till I trim those bushes and that deck looks really big. I do. I gotta get a pressure I gotta get me a pressure washer in here next year because it's it's needing. It needs to be sprayed off and repainted. Do you want to borrow mine to wash your deck? That'd be great many. Hey, maybe maybe I could talk to you into coming over and we could just tag team my deck a little bit, you know, wash it together. I like it. I'll just come over and watch. You could videotape for us, Yeah, document it for the YouTube channel. Do that for you guys. And that was the end of the show talking about Denny's big brown deck. Just it is brown though. I mean, Dave borrows my fresh washer at least once a year, so if you need to borrow it, it's no big deal. Yeah, it'd be awesome. Man, it's safety. I bought it because, like we have this green algae that grows on everything, and it's always on the north side of the building. It's just like moss that like that grows on trees, the mailbox, the house, everything gets it. If it sits long enough, it turns green. And then you know, we're so close to the dust bowl back there that everything gets filthy and there's no car washes out here. So it was like, I'm just getting a pressure washer.

58:12 I got a big foam canon that goes on it, you know, and I've got the I've got all this concrete take care of. So I've got one of those those round pieces that go on the pressure washer that spin in circles and it cleans like a one foot path instead of just a little six inch or four inch path. It's awesome. It's awesome, dude. Yeah, oh yeah, so that's badass. It just makes sense. I'm for absolute fact, I'm gonna have to get me a zero turn because there ain't no way I'm walking all this. Nope, you won't have time for show or band practice if you do even a ride and mower. I'm sitting there looking at it, and I'm like, I can tell you that the two acres that I'm mow takes me a out three hours, yeah on a zero turn. Yeah. If without that, it would probably be what five six, Well, it would be like you mow what you can every night and then it's just it's just your night. Yeah. You start mowing Monday night and you start back on Monday night and you never actually you know what I mean. Yeah, Yeah, And I can't wait. I got a lot of plans for this place. I can't wait till I can jump on the show from I'm I'm gonna turn the out out building into a sound a live room. Uh. The inside mixed room will be where I can record the show from and then uh obviously do mixes and things like that. I've

59:46 got it. I've got it pretty much planned out. Now. All I gotta do is obviously I've got I've got to catch up on some expenses from moving in, you know, so I'm paying stuff back down for a while and then yeah, as soon as I'm back to good I uh, I won't be burning up that home depot credit. Yep. The way this room sounds is what I need, what I want my live room to sound like. And then I stole an idea from a YouTube video I found where he had the uh, you know, the old pipe like curtain hangers. It looks like piping. I want to run that down both sides of my live room. And I want to buy twelve inch like phone baffles and mount them on hooks where you want. I want to be able to put them where I need them to diffuse stuff. You know, when I record a drum kit or any like it, I like it. And then uh, in the barn, I was doing some repairs to one of the windows to I was building a stall and I had to reinsulate a window and close it up because it's broken. And I found an old like how like a really cool like glass almost all the way down at door, and I'm like, dude, I got it. I'm gonna have to re like seal it because if I used it as it is, it would just rattle. Yeah, but I want to make it. I want to build a little cabinet I saw booth where you can push a guitar cab in there and close it nice and

1:01:21 you can still see in there through the glass and see where your mic placements are, you know what I mean. You can do it like a vocal booth too, absolutely. Yeah, i'd like to be able to. You know, the reason I like this little building so much is because it's even the load in like how you would load equipment into it is it's insane. It's like it was made for it. I know it wasn't. But the side is a big, like ten foot slide door, right, so you could back the trailer right up to it and just open that up and just equipment right in. That's that's awesome. It's kind of like Monster Piece we did it. It is. It's like there their big slide door they had.

1:02:02 Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty cool. So I'm excited for that. But I don't think i'll be done with it anytime soon. Probably gonna be a labor of love over months. You know it's gonna be it's gonna be so cool. I can't wait. Like I said, it's weird to be in this mind state. I don't mean to like make the whole show about this, but it is really exciting and no, it's awesome. Yeah yeah, but uh, I don't know. We'll see what happens next. Like I said, I'm gonna be spending the next couple of months just paying stuff back down and yeah, getting back on a normal routine. I guess normal life. I don't have to I don't have to kill for my food anymore.

1:02:50 I'm not one bad day away from you know, disaster anymore. Right, But I'll go into that more and more detail when me and the wife do the other thing. But yeah, it really is a stressful way to live. And I understand there's people out there that do it year round and have been for years and put it this way, my heart will always be with you that I understand what you go through. And it is hard. But it gets cold outside and it's cold inside. Yep. Oh, I'm not going to miss that ever. But I will say this though, I had a little bit of the camper bite back at me about three four days into the living here. This house set they did a remodel, and I mean, I'm sure you could kind of tell they did a lot of updates to it. The kitchen is incredible. It's gorgeous. It's so nice, man. Just it's the giant cutting board, know island in the middle, and we bought some stools to put around it so you can chill there if you want to, or there's a little table. But the house set empty other than remodelers, you know, coming in and working on it. Well, out of nowhere, a family of four moves in and we just start blasting hot water left and right. We're just taking showers, we're enjoying it,

1:04:23 washing dishes, and the water heater died and it was amazing. I will thank the camper for this. It was amazing how in stride me and the wife were about it, right, the water heater dies and we're like, okay, well let's let's get on and let's pick out a water heater. I guess yep. Whereas years ago it would have been like, oh my fucking god, oh this, we didn't need this, oh Jesus all, you know, right, but the camper has kicked that out of us. I think where we're like, well, that's what it is, let's just replace it. I'm happy to report that this new one will literally melt the flesh off of your bones. Yeah you know, you know you can turn those down, right, it's halfway down, but it's like one of these new it's a gas furnace, right, and it's a gas water heater.

1:05:28 Oh okay, yeah, And I'm used to the electric water heaters that like slowly ramp up and then stay warm. This motherfucker's like good luck. Yeah, and you're like you get in there, like, oh Jesus, yeah, take a raw lobster in there with you. If it turns red it's too hot. Right, Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I got my walk in shower always wanted. Yeah, I don't, I don't. There's a behind me. That door that you can see that goes to that's the furnace and heater water heater. And there's another door that like a little secret passageway that leads into the other bathroom. There's the old style tub and shower in there, you know, big closet and all that stuff. But over there by this room back here, the mud room, there's a walking shower in there, and I love it. Nice. I could live in there.

1:06:29 Nice. There's a glass doors. No, it's just a curtain. There is a Waner window though, Oh nice. There's a Waner window. So if you go to take a whiz and somebody standing out there, it's the Waner window. Somebody needs to frost that glass. Then out it is. It is frosted, but that where you need it to be. It hides all this. I'm just saying it's if you're like crossing that window, you're like, you know what it is, like you'll probably see the silhouettes of the of the wiener if you will. So okay, wait a second, Tyler, were you outside when Denny was inside? When you were there?

1:07:17 No, I was geeking because he even says like, hey, that window they can see you're junk, And I was like, no, they can't. Yeah, they can't, like maybe because I was like thinking, it's like, oh, he's probably just because he's all probably it's not that high. But since it's a they didn't want to they didn't want to destroy into the concrete, like, so they made a subfloor, like they raised it up a little bit so where the the windows at a decent height. But since they raised up the floor to put this bathroom in, yeah, it's literally he put a fucking bag in front of the window. Yeah.

1:08:00 Because I was sitting there, I'm like, dude, yeah, this is like literally like the height of where your wiener is. Okay, I got it. Yeah, this house was built before indoor plumbing and they had to raise the floor to install a toilet. Yeah. Yeah, so now the wouse, Yeah, the outhouse I converted the outhouse to a chicken coop. That's why I sent you guys that message. Yeah, a poop coop if you will, a poop coop. Yes, it's beautiful. I'm happy to report the chickens are loving it. They are. They're very, very into their their poop coop. Nice. Yeah, it was filled in. I checked. Yeah that you got like those are tall, so you've got plenty of room for roosts. Yeah. Yeah, there was like, uh, me and my daughter went back there and we're like, why if we could just make this a chicken coop And I'm like, well, we don't want to jumping down into the toilet, but I was like, well should we look? And we didn't know it was filled then yet, So there's always this uh what do you call it? Like, I don't know the right word, but you're like the feeling of dread. Yeah, you're like, grab the lid, you gotta open it. You're like you're worried you're gonna get a krypturd. Yeah, a cryptord, a fossilized turtise. And it was filled all the way up with soil. So we're like, what do they call that? Copyright? Yeah, coop right, yeah, yeah,

1:09:30 yeah, or copyright. I don't know, I forget what it's called, but yeah, something like that. But that's the fossilized turds, like petrified, yeah yeah, like fossilized petrified. What do you want to call it? Yeah, there's a word. Do you think the first guy that discovered one was like, do you think the other scientists like made fun of him? You know what I mean? Like I found a fossilized turd and they were like such and poop, right, it's all over your head, duy. These guys are all like digging up like masted on teeth and and bracyosaur his leg bones. And he's like, I got a turd. I got I got a turds ah, I get it, I got it. I want to try to I want to try to talk him into getting on the show with us. Uh. He actually goes in finds this stuff like mast it on teeth. Oh okay. I was like, maybe a pratrified turd.

1:10:29 I don't know, a turd. The other day, dude, I ran into him and he goes, oh Dan check us out, flips up a Civil War button. Nice. He's like, yeah, I found that. He won't stay worry he finds the stuff. But dude, he's been doing it for years. You should metal detect her place. Dude, I got one somewhere. You should totally do that. Well that's a good idea, Yeah, always a good idea, especially like you know, run your driveways and things like that. Yeah, where the loot has dropped. Mm hmm. Yeah, never know. I could find buried treasure, you might. Yeah, it'd be cool. Or a fossilized turd, A fossilized turd, it's mine. M h. If I find it, it's mine.

1:11:13 Make a nice little shelf for it. Oh god, I would you know? I would like they have like a like a model boat. Have you seen that little led lights? Like I'm shining up. I'm actually referencing something that's real and it's It was a fossilized Viking turd that was found and it's absolutely enormous. Really, yes, okay, I have to find it now. You know that there's no way a turd would make it all this time if somebody back then didn't go Dude, that is massive. We can't just get rid of that, like, we have to hold onto this thing.

1:11:55 This is a record. Are you find the third I am, I am, I have actually already found it. Oh my god, let's see here if I can find a way two. All right, I'm going to present it to you. Why. It's everything you hoped it'd be and more. Jesus, it's enormous. The size of that bastard. It is enormous.
