rick 0:02
Alright folks, with this shovel, I hereby officially break ground on the Rick McNamara in ground pool Project 123.
Previously on this podcast a pool Maffia, just a thing that exists in the world,
Unknown Speaker 1:02
whether or not the pool mafia exists in the world when your head is still the same power, okay?
rick 1:09
I want to put in an inground pool so that doesn't happen again. And I feel like it's something that I might be able to handle myself.
Unknown Speaker 1:18
I'd suggest get a big shovel and dig a big hole and prepare to get buried because it will bury you brother. Okay.
rick 1:27
Did you did you eat it then because I like to go I sometimes go to McDonald's and get a mcgriddle for the next morning because I'm too tired in the morning to go water. So I save it.
Unknown Speaker 1:39
What I do is I eat half and then I save the rest. Okay.
rick 1:47
Episode Three, oh, crappy day. As you can probably tell by now that clip you just heard was my first attempt at breaking ground school. But I did not account for however, was the depth at which my septic tank was buried. I brought out the shovel I picked up from the Home Depot on the 29th which is a little bit farther from my house than the Lowe's on Piedmont. But I find that Home Depot has an easier layout to to navigate for me so for me, it's worth the extra 10 minutes. Once rain was that new several and a big geyser, a raw sewage shot 25 feet straight up into the roof, splattering the skylight windows on the roof over my living room and coating my yard, which again, has no natural drainage with a foamy topcoat, peepee and poopoo. Luckily, I have a septic guy, my brother in law maka skin, the brother of my late wife Susan has sketti installs septic tanks, and provides other sewage related services. I always defer to his expertise in these kinds of situations. Mike was slow to accept me as a brother in law, he would routinely tell me that I was way too soft to ever be a part of his family. Over time, however, I think we've become really good friends despite the fact that my wife is no longer with us. He's kind of like the older brother I never had. I gave him a call as soon as I cleaned enough to exam I used to be able to hear again. And he came over a few hours later to sort things out. So obviously, this is where the geyser erupted I was trying to break ground on my on my I'm putting in an inground pool because my other one collapsed. And so I just first swing of the shovel, geyser of pee and poopy and everything was coming out and getting everywhere. And as you can see, my yard has no natural drainage. So it's all just kind of sitting there. I got I actually got I taped a kitchen plate over the over the whole one two started to die down a little bit so it's not spraying as much
Unknown Speaker 4:00
That was good. That was quick thinking that and I respect that. Probably not gonna use that
rick 4:05
plate ever again.
Unknown Speaker 4:05
Well, you never know. Um, and I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it. But uh, listen. Yeah, the reason is a really simple thing for usually by law 25 feet on the ground. So your yard when we put this septic tank in, we found a lot of slate. Okay, so that's just like sheet rock underneath the yard. And I don't know if your house was built on some sort of parking lot. I don't know what I don't know what you got going on. We couldn't put
rick 4:36
it in too deep. We were told it was an ancient Native American parking lot house was built. Oh, sometimes you still hear the honks.
Unknown Speaker 4:45
Yeah, sure. Sure. Yeah, that would explain a couple of other artifacts. We found some doesn't that but but so really your septic tank is it's it's an inch or so under the dirt. So yeah, you I don't know if an inground pools away to go here.
rick 5:02
Look, Mark, I respect your opinion, but I can't do another above ground pool. I just, I just ruined all my vintage baseball cards by flooding my basement. Well, almost all of them some of them are salvageable, but, and then I ruined my neighbor's Etsy shop out of his garage. And and I can't I can't go through that again. You know? Plus it's what my wife would have wanted. Sure.
Unknown Speaker 5:26
Well yeah cute. Yeah, Susie was a she she wanted
rick 5:31
me on it and I kept I kept holding out.
Unknown Speaker 5:33
Yeah, you guys will find a lot once.
rick 5:34
I wouldn't say a lot. Most of what we were big play fighters, you know, she'd be like, I, you know, I'd be like, Oh, yeah, you're a bitch. And she'd be like, I want a divorce. And we'd be like, I just kidding. No,
Unknown Speaker 5:49
that's not Yeah, it always seemed, you know, darker than then that but you know, who am I? To say? I'm just a simple septic. But, uh, let me tell you something. This is what you can do. So you already got a ton of people on Yeah, right. And
rick 6:05
I'd like to not have as much. I don't know how we get it off. But
Unknown Speaker 6:10
sure. And I'm gonna tell you right now school you got to do snow
rick 6:16
like big now Could I get like a shot back and just
Unknown Speaker 6:20
you know, it's the the shot back industry is yet to produce a vac capable of intaking solid human waste. So once it gets once you get the human waste that you have been having solid,
rick 6:34
I've been having some number twos and number threes, but I yeah, number three, three. I've been welded, this new Indian place opened up around the corner. And, and
Unknown Speaker 6:48
the kind of the
rick 6:50
the Asian kind and so I I love naan bread. But, and I do love the taste of the curry, but it doesn't agree with the consistency of it, I think is throws me off because it's like, eating soup off of a plate. You know. So I i just i but i love this stuff. And I always it never agrees with me. Because I grew up a meat and potatoes kind of guy. And so now i just i it just destroys me.
Unknown Speaker 7:19
Okay, well, I mean, I really, if we got to scoop it up, you know, and the only thing that we really only have a few sizes of scope. So you know, we're gonna have to work with what we got. So I can send a guy out there, maybe Wednesday to kind of get an assessment. And you know,
rick 7:39
we can move on there any way we could do this before Wednesday, cuz again, it's, it's peepee and poopoo. all over my yard. It's raw fecal matter in my yard. And I would like to I can take care of it myself. If I just have the proper tools. I have the shovel. I just don't know what where I would scoop it to.
Unknown Speaker 7:56
Gotta be. Gotta be. I know. I know. It. You think you could do a shovel? It's got to be a scope got to have that sort of base and bottom, you know? Like, I gotcha, gotcha. You wouldn't need a shovel on ice cream would you
rick 8:12
know? I mean, maybe if I was given a script to a giant i would i would give him a
Unknown Speaker 8:17
no show. No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't use it. You wouldn't even if it was a giant. I'm sorry. Todd. You would, you wouldn't use it. Alright, so
rick 8:26
I was just trying to be funny. I didn't mean to.
Unknown Speaker 8:31
That's okay. That's, that's all right. I just got a lot on my plate right now my sister staying with. I mean, we got a house guest here. So you know, it's it's kind of, it's just hectic anyway, so. Yeah, we
Unknown Speaker 8:44
can draw.
rick 8:47
Yeah, so for the listeners. My wife had had a sister, Maryland, who is also Mark's brother, I guess sister would be the woods. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 9:01
we are all siblings. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 9:05
Because you've had this conversation with all her
rick 9:09
littleness. I'm sorry.
Unknown Speaker 9:12
Oh, right. Okay. All right. Good. Night.
rick 9:14
Yeah. I'm really excited about the getting this fecal matter off my one. So it looks like so if the septic tank is right here and there's too much sleep it doesn't look like I'm gonna be able to dig straight down here without moving the septic tank right.
Unknown Speaker 9:35
Yeah, that is correct. Yeah, it's a very you'd have to move it what we could do is doing
rick 9:41
above ground septic Tom.
Unknown Speaker 9:45
Yeah, like a like a. It looks like a water tower. But it's smaller. And it says
rick 9:51
pee pee poop on this just didn't have to say pee pee poop on the side. Could it be like discreet
Unknown Speaker 9:57
I know it sounds silly, but that it's a it's a little Not a lot of people go for it.
rick 10:02
Yeah, cuz I feel like if the if the above ground pool was too much of an issue for my dad, I probably shouldn't do another. I shouldn't do an above ground septic tank. Because again, look at the natural drainage, it's non existent.
Unknown Speaker 10:20
You don't have any Yeah, I know I'm noticing that usually we can't we can't do something like that without natural drainage but uh, have you thought about getting a sewer hookup? What's that situation like in
rick 10:31
your thought about it? But it's, I mean, it's, it seems very doable, but I also i flush I flush a lot of stuff. And I don't want I don't want them getting mad at me for flushing. I do a lot of wet wipe flushing I I don't love that I do it. I'm not happy about it. But
Unknown Speaker 10:54
so just looking. I mean, looking looking at EOD now. I I'm seeing a lot of like action figure pieces, car keys or keys, and I don't know if that's your car.
Unknown Speaker 11:06
Well, I'm a little concerned.
rick 11:09
I was got this. It's actually a funny story, right? I brought it a box. I was cleaning out my attic and I had a box of all my old you know, like, kids stuff growing up, whatever. And then I had to I had to take a pee. So I went into the bathroom. I had the box in my hands. I sneezed while I was peeing, p p goes everywhere Of course. And also I fill the box. I spilled a box and then when I bend down to pick it up, I have a little bit of PMI eyes. I'm reaching down to get stuff out of the toilet. My head hits the flush. So so I kind of heard it almost got it got me like just above the eye and I accidentally flushed the toilet. It was the keys to my my childhood diary got flushed down the toilet. A couple of Matchbox cars I lost a couple of action figures I lost because I have a very powerful toilet I had one put in after the Indian food place moved in. And I also lost. I lost a ceramic Ladybug that I had painted. When I was
Unknown Speaker 12:25
Oh, I remember that. I remember that
rick 12:30
as an ashtray. Yeah, it was. I mean, we all had we all had a good laugh about it after the fact once you explained that it was a joke.
Unknown Speaker 12:43
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 12:46
That's what I was. That's what I was doing those Dutch masters too. Those were those were
rick 12:52
those? Yeah, yeah, no one makes us a god quite like the Dutch.
Unknown Speaker 12:57
Yeah. Hey, look, he gets the job done. I was having a good old time. But anyway, so back to your problem. Yeah, I mean, look, I think the long and the short of it is you need to you need to just do your doodoos in a bucket and dump it out into the river or something because you know, the whole situation here. I think it's it's just kind of I guess
rick 13:21
I guess I could is there some way I could put like a filter in so that I don't flush things down the toilet by accident? No more.
Unknown Speaker 13:30
Oh, in the toilet, surely. Yeah. You could do but you know, with with your What are you gonna spend some time
rick 13:35
spent in toilet? Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 13:38
Again. So I know. So that would suck the filter right off any kind of filter, you put an expense and it gets sucked right out.
rick 13:46
They call this a black hole.
Unknown Speaker 13:50
They call it that's
rick 13:52
accurate singularity of water pressure.
Unknown Speaker 13:56
I knew a guy and I'm not I shouldn't be telling you this. But I know a guy who was doing a he did a pre pre flush on his fence and sucked his B hole right? Oh,
Unknown Speaker 14:09
you get
Unknown Speaker 14:10
I didn't even know B holes came out. Oh, well, you know, it's it's like it's like a tube that goes through your body. And the beholder? If you do
rick 14:17
get sucked out, does that mean your mouth kind of gets sucked in? Because you end up looking like a like a turtle or something?
Unknown Speaker 14:27
Yeah, well, he got it all the way out.
Unknown Speaker 14:32
He was out basically. Yeah. Who foma goof Yeah, that would be still pending. So I'm not supposed to talk about it. But that's what happened. I mean, I'm not
rick 14:41
Jesus. That's what happened. So never, never. Ladies and gentlemen listeners never sit and flush. Always stand up. Fix your pants up and then flush on the way out. Sometimes I sometimes I flushed with my with my foot because I'm in nervous about journey. So if I'm like barefoot at the beach I flush with my foot.
Unknown Speaker 15:05
Yeah, you always kind of a pussy. Yeah,
rick 15:07
I wouldn't. I wouldn't say like that. I mean, definitely. No, I, I like what I like, and that's not something that you should be insulted for. And also, probably don't we don't we don't like to use the P word in a derogatory way on this podcast just because all you know. Yeah, it's demeaning.
Unknown Speaker 15:33
Sure, okay. Jesus, what will you kind of, uh, I don't know, everything else is so it doesn't have the the punch of a whatever. Let's just move on. I don't I don't know why I I don't know what else. I've never seen so much potpourri in my wife.
rick 15:55
And I won't apologize for it. Until today, my yard smell great.
Unknown Speaker 16:02
Sure, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I guess that brings us back to buckets. I mean, does that is that an option? Do you have buckets? Not buckets?
rick 16:13
I have I have a two five gallon buckets. One of them is one of them is full of old balls right now. So ideally, oh. I support with a wiffle. You should there's a bunch of kids in the neighborhood and they let me up. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 16:35
oh, you play with kids?
rick 16:36
Yeah, I mean, I'm a 55 year old retired printer salesman. I need you know some action in my life every once in a while so
Unknown Speaker 16:46
call to action.
rick 16:47
I think I don't get I don't understand.
Unknown Speaker 16:51
You talking about getting action? Yeah,
rick 16:52
like we play with the ball. We're playing sports. While I'm young. They let me all the cool kids and the cool kids this month. They're way smarter than I was when I was their age.
Unknown Speaker 17:05
Well, you're done now.
rick 17:07
Well, no, I'm I'm pretty. I've read I read books is the thing.
Unknown Speaker 17:13
That's you
rick 17:14
know, that doesn't well. Anyway, these kids these kids know way more swear words than I knew. And cusses and stuff. Oh yeah. And the way clever about it did that kind of smart where they can just kind of size you up and cut you down. Those kids are the cool kids the cool kids they let me on. I want my right my issue with with the buckets is I don't want them. I don't want the I guess this is gonna sound a little bit crazy. I don't want pee and poop sitting around in my house just uncovered or whatever.
Unknown Speaker 17:54
You could call it saran wrap. tin foil. I got a guy I know a guy who uses like pizza pans you know, pizza pan over so
rick 18:06
that's really our only option is putting a pizza pan over a five gallon drum with pissin proof
Unknown Speaker 18:20
supposed to do Okay, tell me Oh, you know my my septic tank furnace. Okay, what do you know? Can you do? What are you doing above ground with PVC?
rick 18:33
What do you want if I just do a smaller pool? And a small What if I go like half my yard is the pool and half my yard is a septic tank? Can I get a smallest septic tank put in?
Unknown Speaker 18:45
I don't know if they make smaller ones. To be honest. We went with the the little NEEMO that that's the brand name of the septic tank and that's pretty much it. I mean, that's as low as that go. It really is. It's a little NEEMO bucket. Those are the that's the next step down is there
rick 19:04
a way I could get like a custom job do you know anyone who do like a custom job?
Unknown Speaker 19:11
custom what like a custom a
rick 19:13
custom tank.
Unknown Speaker 19:16
Oh, you still on tanks. Okay, well, uh Yeah, see, I know I'm out
rick 19:20
on buckets by the way. I'm not I don't want to keep
Unknown Speaker 19:25
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker 19:30
I know a guy who does custom tanks. He's really really good. Um, but he he got us inside.
Unknown Speaker 19:43
Anyway, so yeah, you got it. You got as a hook to pulled out by himself. Yeah.
rick 19:49
Oh, you hate to see that. Just a guy I need to just like I'm just I keep running into I keep having just bad luck, Mark. I have such bad luck lately?
Unknown Speaker 20:01
Yeah, sure. Yeah. I mean ever since
rick 20:04
five years ago, you know, my it's just, um, I tried to stay positive but sometimes it's really hard because it's like, I'm I'm just I'm frustrated man. I'm, I'm tired of the other day. I swear to God. Black Cat walked right in front of me. And then I got hit by a tractor on the road.
Unknown Speaker 20:32
Like a slow slow moving.
rick 20:34
Yeah, I came around a blind corner Really? Well at track this speed. And yeah, he kind of hit me a little bit with one of the top one of those big tires in the back. Yeah, I think I'm just cursed man. I think I'm just cursed. Everything I tried to do.
Unknown Speaker 20:52
Yeah. And you are.
rick 20:53
You own a black cat. I do mittens. Yeah, right. I call him mittens because I'll hit the the black of his paws is slightly darker than the black of the rest of them.
Unknown Speaker 21:04
Show I know, I've heard you tell this story before. And it's just as interesting as it was the last time and
rick 21:10
it's like, if you look at certain lights, you can kind of see how the paws are a little bit darker, like when he's lying in the sun because he likes to nap in the sun.
Unknown Speaker 21:22
Really, that's unusual for cats. Listen, why don't we just get back to the pupil peepee situation because that I mean, I am billing you for this. So I you know, I should try to drive you back to that. Um, so I we got different. We got let's see 123. I've six buckets here that I could bring over? And with your two. I mean, you might be all set. If you have without the only plate you use the one in the yard, or do you have other plates.
rick 21:51
I have two other plates. One is for one is my pasta plate. And one is for my lean cuisines I like it's one of those plates that's like a little bit more curved in so it's like half plate half bowl. So
Unknown Speaker 22:07
yeah, I remember that. I remember that. I used that as an app. Yeah.
rick 22:10
Which I wish you had waited till I was done with my lasagna. But
Unknown Speaker 22:17
it was funny, because I was like, Oh, you want a little Dutch lasagna and I asked one of my Dutch masters. It was
rick 22:25
really funny. I remember playing joking, but it was in the moment pretty hurtful. And I made my lasagna tastes like fire. But I I found that I found that I find that those are not as good at covering up. You know, the jet of ppm. Is there. Is there a way shimmy outs? That one can drain a septic tank? drain because you installed this and there's like a little thing. Yeah. Like we were told to schedule an appointment and then nobody ever came to empty it out. So I figured we were fine.
Unknown Speaker 23:13
Yeah, I mean, I don't do the empties.
rick 23:16
So, so it's supposed to be emptied.
Unknown Speaker 23:22
I mean, look, I don't I've been doing this job for let's see. 24 years. Okay. And in that in that in my tenure, I've never ever emptied a septic tank or heard of somebody wanting to so you know. You know what? I'm looking at my I just there is one guy who does and you're gonna you're gonna laugh Oh, you know, got it. Yeah. This would be cool. If this was a pool pool type situation. Now he put a B hole up against the filter. suck the suck hole, you know, you know the sack hole in
rick 24:04
the jet. No, no, this is the filter something.
Unknown Speaker 24:11
Yeah, it just sucks to suck. Like a suckle. Usually you get used to this terminology getting an inground pool. Anyways, he was sitting on it and cranking and suck will suck his tubes right out. So, you know, that's the only guy
rick 24:29
yeah, again, me and my luck.
Unknown Speaker 24:33
I've crazy that that that really does
rick 24:35
have a misunderstanding too, because I was under the impression that we were just good to go and it went into the center of the earth or something. But
Unknown Speaker 24:43
yeah, I mean, like I said, 24 years I've never I don't know,
rick 24:48
I I guess I could just stop going to the Indian place four times a week and not anything crazy.
Unknown Speaker 24:57
I mean, let's let's let's think about options. You know, let's just let's review our list here. So we got buckets,
rick 25:06
buckets, I'm gonna write these down just so we remember not
Unknown Speaker 25:10
Yeah. Write this down.
Unknown Speaker 25:13
And and buckets.
rick 25:14
We don't want to use them if we don't have to.
Unknown Speaker 25:21
We don't want to use buckets. What do you mean? Wait? I mean, I want to use I use buckets at home. I that's how I do my business. That's how I put it
rick 25:29
in your life. What does your wife think about it? Because I remember
Unknown Speaker 25:33
it was right here.
rick 25:35
Wow, that's pretty gross. I know. Your wife your wife seems very chill. She seems very chill. Like mean chill. I again, I haven't talked to us since we we did William Tell with your son. But
Unknown Speaker 25:50
she does not like you. And those times is still blown out. So you know, I wouldn't even I wouldn't show
rick 25:57
you guys just not driving the minivan. Oh, what? No, we drive it blown out tires. Yeah, it's okay. Well,
Unknown Speaker 26:06
I say Hey, babe, I'm gonna run it down to Pep Boys and you need anything Pep Boys.
rick 26:11
What a what a what a world we live in, by the way. So with the Jeff petty stuff going on. It's just It's wild, man. Listen. Yeah. Look, I just I don't want to I don't want to rush anything. But I really do want to, you know what, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna stop. I'm going to stop eating so much. Wait, hang on, hang on. So is there any way that we can put the septic tank under the inground? pool? Can we just dig it deep?
Unknown Speaker 26:44
Interesting. Okay. Okay, I think you're gonna run into the slight issue of a lot of sleep apnea.
rick 26:53
But it's how, how much? How big is the septic tank? Because you said slate was like 25 feet down.
Unknown Speaker 27:03
Yeah, the tank. I mean, well, you can do any. You can do different sizes. You have the little NEEMO the one you got, and then it goes all the way up to
Unknown Speaker 27:14
the dunk. Dunk. And
Unknown Speaker 27:18
that's the biggest one we got. I don't know. That's kind of we use that for like baseball stadiums and stuff. Yeah. We could we could do it by him. Right?
rick 27:29
Yeah. Yeah. It's right around. You can hear it from here.
Unknown Speaker 27:33
Yeah, yeah. Why don't you know what this is what I'll do. I'll do a tube coming up out of your house. Right. And then we'll just go down into the the
rick 27:44
perfect. I won't be there's no way I'll be doing the nastiest poops of anyone at a professional baseball stadium.
Unknown Speaker 27:53
Yeah, no, there's they go through that. You don't want to be down in
rick 27:58
there. You don't want to go on a dime. And there's no chance of that. I mean, the dunk dunk is big enough that there's no chance of it backing up into my home is
Unknown Speaker 28:11
what I you know, I don't think so. I mean, I stopped putting action figures.
rick 28:15
It was an accident. I don't, I don't flush multiple action figures. I just I spilled a box of trinkets and accidentally flushed it because I sneezed when I got pissed in my eye.
Unknown Speaker 28:27
So I heard the story the last time um, but there's, there's like 300 so action figures out this some Right. I mean, some of those look like martial toys. And I don't know why these flushing knows.
rick 28:39
Well, you won't believe this. But I was cleaning out the attic and I had a box of it was a box labeled mersal toys. And I came down the attic and I had just drank too too full. Polar black cherry seltzers and so oh so good.
Unknown Speaker 29:01
Oh,
Unknown Speaker 29:03
they make they give me bad girl.
rick 29:06
That's part of the story. I was I was going into the P right. And I think all the combination had combined into one or two bubbles I guess it was well maybe it was one bubble that forced its way out both ends. But while I was holding this box of trinkets, I left out the biggest belch and fat combo of my life. And I I swear to God, I was lifted off my feet momentarily. And obviously the pee went everywhere. Got my I spilled the toys into the toilet and I went to go, I went to flush it. I well I went to flush it because I was peeing everywhere. And then I was like, Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And oh, no, no, no.
Unknown Speaker 29:54
This is this is gonna sound crazy. You know, you can hear me out. Don't hold valuable family relics over the toilet when you use it. I don't well
rick 30:04
that's it's easy. It's easier said than done because sometimes, sometimes you just gotta go. And the box might sink or the counter space next to my sink is too small for a box. So
Unknown Speaker 30:18
the biggest thing
Unknown Speaker 30:22
you have a full house, you've paid off the mortgage you live in you have the fucking pneumatic tube for the shower. And there's no counterfeit. What
rick 30:32
I mean, at this point, I have no more valuables left to flush. So, so it seems like too little too late to fix my bathroom.
Unknown Speaker 30:41
Yeah. Okay, fine.
rick 30:44
Ah, all right. Well, that's why you see so many of my wife's skov in here as well.
Unknown Speaker 30:50
I'm gonna grab some of those because she's been asking about I mean, my sister's been asking about where were their scarves when so?
rick 31:01
Yeah, um, oh, I've had them. Yeah, she should have I mean, obviously. Maryland isn't speaking to me. But she could have just called for you could have called or whatever. I didn't see me in like two months. How have you been by the way?
Unknown Speaker 31:15
I've been good. I've been good. I
rick 31:18
get a stone.
Unknown Speaker 31:20
Yeah. Oh, stone. A goof. Yeah. Yeah. It was not pleasant. Kind of like, you know, do you ever see like a like a rabbit?
rick 31:34
Oh, yeah. It's all just pellets. This is a true story. I had a rabbit when I was a little a little kid. And it would always it would always escape its little pen. And the one thing it would do every morning is just poop in my dad's shoes. And it was like, every morning he'd wake up and like his shoes, a different pair every time. But it was always my dad's and they were always full of those little Cocoa Puffs poops.
Unknown Speaker 32:01
Yeah, you remember that time I put I booked a new one.
rick 32:03
Yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah. It I don't think that the smell of the poop plus the ash helped. I think that's why I started using the potpourri was was after that day.
Unknown Speaker 32:22
I'm just saying it you you know I'm coming over. Put some ashtrays out. I hate having to make these examples. I feel like it's almost your fault. Like Yeah.
rick 32:30
Oh, you just got some ash. I hate to be that guy. But you did just get Ash on my shirt. And this is kind of new. So
Unknown Speaker 32:39
do I don't see an ashtray here.
rick 32:40
Yeah, sorry. I was just a little preoccupied up this the ladybug.
Cloud right in the shape of a penis. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 32:54
Yeah, I get good. I can make it come back into my mouth to watch.
rick 33:00
Whoa, he just sucked down that cloud wean. That's pretty cool. You have you been doing? A lot of those. Remember last time you were trying to get vape tricks but with cigars started? Yeah, my son, Murph. Yeah. He's a he was a bit of a hype beast. So he knows a lot about or he did know a lot about vape tricks and stuff. So he kind of got you onto that wavelength if I remember correctly.
Unknown Speaker 33:29
He did. He's taught me some really i mean he. When,
rick 33:34
you know, in the past, past tense
Unknown Speaker 33:38
in the past? Yeah. He taught me how to do that little caulk move that I just did. Oh, he did. He did he he showed me how to do one where I blow out the smoke and it looks like a George Jefferson from the Jefferson.
rick 33:54
Yeah, that's Well, I I would say that looks more like George Jetson Jefferson.
Unknown Speaker 34:02
No, George Jefferson.
rick 34:03
Well, no, I know you say it is but I'm looking at it. And it's clearly George Jetson.
Unknown Speaker 34:11
Jetson, he's dressed. I'll give you like a just put the faces
rick 34:17
in the faces George Jefferson. But he's wearing he's wearing a logo list. White popped collar and a green belt and blue pants.
Unknown Speaker 34:30
No, that's a that's a that was like an artistic flair. I don't know how you'd even do
rick 34:34
this, but it's cool.
Unknown Speaker 34:38
That's the Dutch master secret right there. And I'm not I'm not gonna tell. But I can suck him off too. So. Oh,
rick 34:46
just as crutch went away. Perfect. All.
Unknown Speaker 34:51
Yeah. Yeah, well, you can good. Anyways, that'll be there for a few weeks. So
Unknown Speaker 34:58
just just something you should know though. Don't get concerned.
rick 35:02
That's not healthy. Whatever it is. If the if the cloud is sticking around for a week, this can't be good for your body to ingest that.
Unknown Speaker 35:14
Hey, listen, I'm gonna tell you what I told the doctor. Go fuck yourself. You can just doing that. Yeah, um, so I guess looking looking at the whiteboard and we have buckets and dump tongs, I think
rick 35:29
I think we can block in the dunk tank. I think that's gonna be my best option right now. Um, pass on a high pass on buckets. Because I don't know where else I'm going to keep my wiffle balls if I'm being honest.
Unknown Speaker 35:44
Anywhere anywhere else, they're not. I mean, they don't. You could put them in a in a in put them in the shower. You know
rick 35:52
people that's where I keep all my pennies. So then I have to move my pennies. And then where am I going to put pennies the piggy banks are full of swag.
Unknown Speaker 36:03
Okay, I I'm seeing the Rube Goldberg Machine kind of laid out here so I'm gonna back away from this one. So okay, so we're doing pipe now let's see there's a couple of different kinds of pipe you can go with. So we have brass
rick 36:19
brass does that make like a trumpet sound as stuff slides through it or like that's pretty
Unknown Speaker 36:27
well that's like a fun that's like
Unknown Speaker 36:30
that's a fun fact that for brass wood not commonly
rick 36:34
used like an old like an old aqueduct
Unknown Speaker 36:39
well those were stone so
rick 36:42
cheap but aqueduct
Unknown Speaker 36:45
sure you could think about it like that and you'll be a bit of an innovative because nobody has ever used wood in the sewage but you but you have the pipes you stock the pipes. Oh, of course. I mean, I'm working but no one ever you know, know that they're all it's old. One Two. It's not because we've had it for well 24 years I mean, since I've been doing I bought a why when I got my my my septic license I went on I buy that 400 feet of wooden pipe. And
rick 37:22
okay, I still had a little listening listeners. Listeners Mack persichetti has the oldest more deist pile of firewood in his backyard you've ever seen it's it's not well no I thought you had the what was under the top then.
Unknown Speaker 37:42
Oh, yeah, no, no I thought I
rick 37:44
thought the pipe would is different. I understand what I was talking about. Yeah, it's when you when you this method like going to make a fire in the middle of the freezing cold and picking up a log covenant bugs and then carrying it into your house while your skin crawls. It just makes the fire so much more satisfying to to sit around
Unknown Speaker 38:10
in the woods. I mean we put the tarp over it because you know to keep the bugs in and pick up you pick up that wood that's like picking up that sponge. This wood is soul damp. And burns good. You know you that. That is the trade off you have it's a little ogee
rick 38:28
when you pick it up when you burn it. It smells like a dog at the beach. But yeah, but it goes but it burns hot. It burns hot and smoky. Which is just how you like it.
Unknown Speaker 38:40
That's right. You close that form.
Unknown Speaker 38:44
Throw those logs in there.
rick 38:47
What a Christmas morning that was
Unknown Speaker 38:51
that was fun. That was fun again sometime. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 38:55
Quit while we could do it. Wow. Are you?
rick 38:57
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 38:58
Blue eyes and my wife's minivan so that I don't I don't.
rick 39:02
I bought the tires. I don't.
Unknown Speaker 39:07
Yeah, it's more of a principle thing with her. Once you kind of go bad you never come back from that.
rick 39:14
I mean, she didn't mind you shooting the can off your son's head. But I mean, you're also a better shot than I am. Oh, better shot. And it was it was funny. It was it was nice. It was a nice touch to explain to him while he was crying that it was a joke. And then he got it and he felt better.
Unknown Speaker 39:31
Yeah, that's true. And he he'll do that from time to time. And I mean, I know when when Mark was crying, I just or when he was when he was when he was crying. I'd be like, I'll give you something to cry about.
rick 39:46
Yeah, it was. It was weird when you do that, like when he got into his teens, but it was also very funny.
Unknown Speaker 39:53
Yeah, that's why I did it. I'm
rick 39:57
gonna cry about a little smack or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Which he was allergic to. So it was actually very funny when you explain it when you explain the joke. It's very funny to ash onto him.
