Beard Laws (00:02.131)
That'd be the one knock on the door. There's probably a couple of knocks on the door that I would not like. Chris Hansen would probably be one of them. Don't want that knock on the
Yuban Whakinov (00:09.92)
Yeah. So I unfortunately guys that I worked with like a decade ago in retail, they all knew my email. So they signed me up for every single dating service imaginable. So even like there was one that was J date, which was like Jehovah Witnesses and shit like that. So I started getting all these mean ebony girls in your area, Jehovah Witnesses in your area. All I mean, every there was a farm like was farmers only or whatever got signed up for
Beard Laws (00:37.321)
Yeah.
Yuban Whakinov (00:38.786)
And I'm like, why the fuck am I getting so many of these dating things? What the hell? And my friends are like, you're welcome. It's just bored. They're like, yeah, super high. We decided to sign you up for literally everything. I'm honored. Thanks.
Beard Laws (00:50.015)
See, I'm just a touch older that we would have to do that, but with magazine services. So we potentially go to a NASCAR event and it's like, hey, put your email in here if you want to go do this for free or if you want free samples of this or this or this. So we all had this one guy that we did the same thing. Feel bad for the parents. They got a lot of spam mail, but I feel even worse. Nah, I don't even feel worse for the companies.
there was one like, yeah, say you want to go to the Crown Royal tent or something, you had to put an email in show your ID and it was like, we all use the same one. They didn't care. So for years, it was emails and just before the emails, the magazines, the flyers and everything and I just like, sorry, bud, you just had a very recognizable, rememberable address that we just all remember. Mm hmm. Yep. Before anybody listening, this is me. It's Matt at SpiritLaws. That is a human hocking off.
Yuban Whakinov (01:35.116)
It's diabolical and I love
Beard Laws (01:42.633)
Brandon J. McDermott, he's on vacation, so you don't get to hear his beautiful voice. He's traveling to, what was it, Minnesota, I think he said on the show? Or maybe he didn't say it on the
Yuban Whakinov (01:52.106)
I so. I think towards Mankato or something. Nope, nope, that's not. That's where it flooded somewhere in Minnesota.
Beard Laws (02:00.945)
somewhere in Minnesota. He's going to go hang out with some friends and his family and a much deserved time off. mean, if you not only see the amount of content that he does not only for himself, but for work, this dude hustle. So hopefully he puts down the phone, enjoys the time off. And like I said, he's he's the face of a very big program and his own social media stuff. So Brandon, enjoy it and we'll we'll see you next week. Big boy. Hopefully you'll be eating some good.
food and happy belated this gonna sound weird but you and myself we have the same wedding anniversary but we didn't marry each other so you know he's got what 15 years in I hit one year I don't know who's smarter I think we're both probably dumb if you asked even our significant others but yeah we had the same one that's kind of that's kind of
Yuban Whakinov (02:36.278)
We didn't. We didn't.
Yuban Whakinov (02:44.444)
you
Yuban Whakinov (02:49.143)
Super, super stubborn, apparently. Just, yeah, I don't know what it is, but it is very odd that we've been hanging out for a while and we have the exact same anniversary.
Beard Laws (02:59.443)
just found out the other day too. And, you know, it had been a whole year for me. And is he more ironic? I got married in Vegas, a place that you hung out around a lot. Fremont Street, Yeah, yeah, I got married.
Yuban Whakinov (03:07.49)
Mm -hmm. Where I grew up. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's how I remember, because I remember whenever you were in Vegas for Copper Johns and everything, you're like, hey, I think I'm gonna get married. And I think you even pushed it back a day. Like you were originally gonna do it on a Thursday, then I think you did it on a Friday. I can't remember or something like that. I remember I'm like, holy shit. I was like, you're getting married today? He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gonna happen. I'm like, I'm gonna be able to remember this because that is my fucking anniversary. And so that's why I was like, hey, man.
Beard Laws (03:23.889)
Yeah, I don't remember the days, but
Yuban Whakinov (03:36.138)
I couldn't remember. was like, was I tripping? I think this I think he does. I think he does. That's why I was actually was like, hey, you have an anniversary coming up, don't you? And he's like, this Friday and I go, I fucking knew it. I'm not crazy. I remember things.
Beard Laws (03:48.457)
Well, we always have each other's backs now because I'll be like, anniversary is coming up. It'll be different things. Yeah, it was cool. We, I don't know what you guys did. We took off to Lake Placid, which some people, when you hear Lake Placid, what's the first thing that pops in your brain? I'm curious.
Yuban Whakinov (03:52.693)
Yes.
Yuban Whakinov (04:03.714)
Was it hockey?
Beard Laws (04:05.951)
OK, yeah, it was the home of the 1980 miracle on ice when a bunch of like college and high school kids beat the juggernaut of the Russian team. And, you know, there was the powerful speech. But some people, potentially guys like Burleigh, they think alligators. Apparently, there was a movie like Placid with a big alligator was eating some people or something.
Yuban Whakinov (04:09.952)
Yes.
Yuban Whakinov (04:16.524)
Kurt Russell.
Yuban Whakinov (04:27.436)
I never seen it. But of course, me, like I'm always a bad person. They're like, have you seen a movie? It's like immediately probably no. But I recall the trailers for that. But yeah, I think of yeah, Miracle Nice, Kurt Russell, magical speech.
Beard Laws (04:39.155)
Yeah, yeah. It pretty, it was pretty good. Yeah. So the first thing I sent a picture out in one of the group chats that we had of being at the, you know, that rink, you know, obviously it's a lot newer. They still use it for tournaments and there happened to be like a goalie camp or something. So there was all these goalies doing all these really intense drills and the really intense parents in the stands. And we just stumbled in because we were sweating our ass off and it was toasty. And I'm like, I know it'll be cool in here.
So we just walked in, sat down for a couple of minutes, cooled off, and I debated taking a poop there. But yeah, man, a lot of breweries, a lot of good food. That's why, know, Brandon was here, man. We ate some food. And it's funny because it's like, it's the anniversary. Neither of us are fancy people. Lake Placid, there's a lot of money. And I know there's got to be areas near you that it's like, I don't really want to go near this body of water because there's a lot of money there, you know?
Yuban Whakinov (05:27.488)
Pinkies out.
Yuban Whakinov (05:32.23)
Yes, yes. And I mean, judging by the pictures that you were sending me, I was a big fan. Like that stuff was looking awesome, especially with your draft selections, your hotel and everything. It was, it was sweet, man. I'm glad you guys had yourself a good
Beard Laws (05:34.173)
Mm -hmm.
Beard Laws (05:42.818)
Yeah. So yeah, it's one of those things I think if you do enough research, you can find like we found a room for like 70 something bucks a night. It came to like three something for three nights after the the fees and all that just a just an older place was a hell of a walk uphill. But I mean, yeah, you we tend to gravitate towards certain places. And I don't know if you guys are like that. But like when we vacation, if we find a place that we love, we tend to just like, keep going back to the same place. And some people are like, well, we got to try all this stuff.
Yuban Whakinov (06:09.15)
Yep.
Beard Laws (06:11.881)
We went to this tasting room. was Prison City Brewing. They're out of like Auburn, New York. There was a dude in there, Matt. He was just a good time. It was like, it was like we were boys, like we would have been friends forever. We just shot the shit. We watched some pickleball on TV. I don't know. There was all sorts of stuff and just the beer was good and we just had a good time, you know? And then we gravitated, tried some other ones. There was a place called Pickled Pig. That was pretty cool. It was like a barbecue place. They're open till three in the morning. So it was like the night we got in, there wasn't a lot of options.
Yuban Whakinov (06:39.728)
shit.
Beard Laws (06:41.183)
We went down there, the wife got some like pulled chicken tacos at work killer. you know, we just kind of went around. And of course, me, I'm always like, hey, you know, where if we're at a brewery, where would you go to eat? If we're at a place, you know, that's like, where would you go to drink? Just trying to get a vibe of some of what I thought were locals. lot of seasonal employees that just kind of come in, you know, like there was a Canadian one that was I was like, hey, what's your favorite beer? You know, that's on your menu. And she's like, funny thing is I can't drink. I'm 20. I'm from Canada. I'm from Quebec.
been drinking for two years but I can't overhear and I'm like that sucks.
Yuban Whakinov (07:14.018)
She's like, literally, as soon as I get home, I can crack open a cold one.
Beard Laws (07:17.567)
Yeah, only gotta be 18 there. Like, could you imagine being from a country like that and it's just like, oh, welcome to America, you can't
Yuban Whakinov (07:25.238)
That is wild. That is very one. And by the way, too, I keep seeing the hat. Fantastic hat, by the way. Shout out to Finley hats, but that is a sick one. I love
Beard Laws (07:31.967)
Isn't that good? Finlay hats, that Chewbacca? Yeah. See, I don't have a lot of dad hats. I don't know how I feel about this particular one. I'm a flat brim guy, but I saw Chewbacca, I saw Finlay. It was the last option for them. like, I have to have this. I think since then they've re -released a couple of different versions, but hey, I think my code still works too. If anybody wants to save 10 bucks, not 10%, you can use code BEARDLOSS, save 10 bucks. We might as well throw it out there as well. Check out Milwaukee Pretzels.
I scavenged a Lake Placid for a good pretzel. To be honest with you, I saw some pretzels come out. I looked at them. There wasn't anything better. And this is straight up no bullshit. This is my opinion. They weren't nearly as better. And I didn't have to go there and spend 20 bucks. And there was a place that was charging $18 for a pretzel that wasn't nearly as big as the ones you can get on milwaukeepretzels .com. So if you guys want to, there's no code, just go check them out. And they had that, I got in the dill honey mustard.
Yuban Whakinov (08:21.996)
Jeez.
Beard Laws (08:29.139)
I know you're not a pickle guy, so you're probably not gonna love it, but it's fantastic. It's good.
Yuban Whakinov (08:34.05)
See, I like the the pickle juice taste on like a burger and stuff like that So I think as long as I'm not like chewing on the pickle I think it's the texture thing, you know, I might be able to fuck with it But have you ever considered about starting with a different tick -tock of just solely? Testing out the best soft pretzels in like your everywhere you
Beard Laws (08:42.431)
Cool. Yeah, goodie.
Beard Laws (08:54.729)
So I debated it, but you know what I actually wanna do? And this is probably a thing. And if I give it away and somebody does it, whatever, I truly think, and I think this can hit home for you more than anybody else is when you're out there, you're drinking, especially draft beer at the tasting room, you're eating food, probably not the best food. We gotta poop. So I want to just have my content. I travel, I eat, I drink, and then I poop. And then I give an honest feedback of what I think about the pooping experience. The bathroom.
from the sink to the toilet to the view, because it was one of these things. I stumbled down the hill, we eat some breakfast. I did go into this one bathroom, okay? Very pretty upscale for me breakfast area. You know what I mean? Overlooking the lake, prices little high, but not too, too bad as expected. Six times I went to the door to try to take a shit every single time it was locked. Different people coming in and
But I couldn't see the bathroom. So the wife was kind of, you know, my spotter, we did start off our morning with some cocktails, you know what I mean? And so I finally get in there. And I'm like, it was one of the most amazing views. had the door, the window open like a decent amount. So I was overlooking the lake in the mountains while taking a poop. Nasty bathroom. But in my brain, I'm like, the view kind of makes up for the nastiness. You know what I mean? The cheap ass toilet paper, which sucks. But I just kept thinking
Yuban Whakinov (09:56.756)
Yeah.
Yuban Whakinov (10:14.176)
Yeah.
Beard Laws (10:19.377)
I've pooped at four or five different places. This could be the thing. I just review. I didn't record it, obviously, any content like I'm not there. I'm not that guy where it's like, I'm traveling. Let's make some content like I'm there to have a good time. You know what I mean? Like this is what I love. I love coming home. And even the wife on the rail was like, you're genuinely excited to do some recording, aren't you? was like, Yeah, I love talking to the boys. But what that's a good idea, though, right? With the
Yuban Whakinov (10:22.241)
Bye.
Yuban Whakinov (10:45.684)
I there is an app already where you can rate like the, the best destinations of like pooping and stuff like that. Like they can, they have rated, but I think they're not, I can't remember if they're rating the actual bowel movement or the bathroom itself. I thought it was the bathroom, but I couldn't be mistaken.
Beard Laws (11:03.529)
See, yeah, I think I downloaded and I thought you did, but maybe you didn't, but that remember the poop map? Yeah. So I have the poop map, but I thought it would just be like a kind of a cool take to actually have a different name, obviously, but just have a content creator that's like, hey, I'm here at this restaurant, good or bad, you know what I mean? And then, hey, bonus content, this is what I had to eat. All right, I got to shit. Then you're just like, all right, just a quick little view. Obviously, make sure nobody else is in there.
Yuban Whakinov (11:08.962)
I did. Okay, so that's why I thought I was crazy
Beard Laws (11:33.373)
Like for me, it's like, all right. Like, I kind of feel like a jerk sometimes if there's like, the awkwardness of shutting the door, because there's a urinal and a, you know, a toilet, but they don't put a divider in there, or maybe only the bathroom locks, but the shitter doesn't. You know what mean? Like, so it's like, do you want to, so like, I went in there. And next thing know, I come out and there's three dudes waiting awkwardly in front of the door for me to come out. And I'm just like, best of luck in there. You know what I mean? But it was, there was a urinal.
and there was a toilet but there was no divider. So like if I was taking a shit, the guy taking a leak next to me would be like right at my head and I'm like, no, I'm locking this goddamn door.
Yuban Whakinov (12:11.9)
Yeah, yeah. that's like, whenever I walk in there, that's what I'm like surveying the room always to him always like, don't need to lock it behind me. Yes. And can we just make it a standard that you should have at least two, like actual traditional toilets in a men's restroom? Like it's always, here's one urinal or your if you're fucked, you can't even take a shit. Or there's one urinal and one toilet. And it's like, hey, what you know what? Get rid of the urinal. Put two toilets in
Beard Laws (12:32.807)
Mm -hmm.
Beard Laws (12:36.543)
I agree.
Yuban Whakinov (12:39.542)
Fuck it, you know what? We don't mind pissing in a toilet. Who gives a fuck about the urinal? I'll piss in a sink. I don't give a fuck.
Beard Laws (12:46.783)
Yeah, I'm pissing the trash. it's, know, more than likely, I mean, I could piss in an alley. I can piss anywhere. It's the poop. And we can't be alone. But it's like one thing, like if I was like, you know, I'm starting to look and I'm like, man, I'm in Lake Placid. And then if I just started Googling, hey, how, you know, like, where's the best bathrooms in there? am I going to find them in the poop map? No, I started looking at some stuff. But then if there was a content creator out there, I was like, Lake Placid, but you don't use the right words. It's going to go to my video. It's going to be like, OK, well.
Should I go to, you know, this place, the place that I went for breakfast? It's got a good view, but you might have to wait. Like just an honest opinion. Like that's what the that's how my brain works. I can't be alone. Like you like for me, I'm like and I even told her, I was like, all right, well, we're to be here for like three hours. We're way far from the hotel. I kind of have to plan out lunch, breakfast, dinner and where am I going to poop? So we went to the brewery and I was like, I had already pooped at the breakfast place. I'm good.
Yuban Whakinov (13:40.15)
Mm
Beard Laws (13:45.575)
I started and I ordered I was like, what's your popular beer? was like, yeah. So I drank it and halfway through it, my stomach went, I'm like, I'm kind of looking around. I'm like, not that busy. Not a big deal. Maybe there's probably two bathrooms, but there's one bathroom. And right outside on the other side of the wall is like the manager's desk, where he's actively doing some work. And I'm just like, don't care at this point. I go in there. Again, not a bad bathroom.
Yuban Whakinov (14:09.888)
Yep.
Beard Laws (14:13.407)
but kind of awkward because now there's like four people in there. They know I just went and took a shit because I'm in there longer than normal, which I don't care. But I'm like, you know what? Not a bad place to go. But is it a bad place to go? Because there's only one. I mean, if you're in there for 10, 15 minutes with people drinking, you're holding up, you know what I mean? More or less piss alley. It's the only outlet. It's the only place to go. So it's like,
Yuban Whakinov (14:37.004)
Whoops, and so you bring up a good thing here too. So my anxiety is whenever I go to the bathroom, if I do have to shit and if I know that there might be people waiting or they know if I'm going to be taking a trust with the smell as a dead giveaway, but still I'm like, hmm, maybe I can courtesy flush fast enough to eliminate some of the smell, you
Beard Laws (14:55.091)
Hmm. But then you hear the double, triple flush, they know you're pooping anyways.
Yuban Whakinov (15:00.258)
unless you keep the sink running, then it counterbalances the toilet. See, there's different, I don't know, there's even a way where you can trick the hairdryer or the hand dryer to constantly go where it's running loud. There's methods to the madness, it's, whenever I'm in there, I am giving it my all. As soon as it's there, I'm like, all right, pants are down, I'm like, veins are popping out, I'm looking like the Hulk, getting all this out that I can.
Beard Laws (15:04.475)
Okay.
Yuban Whakinov (15:30.39)
And that's the same thing. Even if there's multiple toilets, if I know it's empty, I'm like, boom, I'm giving it all in. And as soon I hear that door open, I'm holding my breath. I'm like, I'm trying not to make sick noise.
Beard Laws (15:40.383)
See, there's no shame in my game. I'm just going and most of the time with me, like, it's like, I don't have a lot of time. So the only problem is it's like, it just keeps going. It's like one of those awkward times where it's like, you're thinking, oh, plop, done. No, I'm to sit there and poop's going to come out of me somehow, even though I just went for the next 10 minutes straight of just, and then you get out and you're like, well, I just lost 10 pounds. That's not bad. And I don't, if somebody comes in, I'm not stopping. I don't care. But then you get that cheap toilet paper and it's like, and I get why.
Yuban Whakinov (16:01.226)
you
Beard Laws (16:10.387)
businesses do it, but it's like, every once in a while, like, maybe they throw some wipes in there for the boys, maybe I mean, then there's gonna be those idiots that abuse them or steal them or clog a toilet. Like I get that part too,
Yuban Whakinov (16:17.4)
Yes!
Yuban Whakinov (16:23.2)
Right. But yeah, I mean, it's or just make bidets traditional. Yeah, just like Japan does or something, because I agree working in the hotel industry. Sometimes I'll steal some of the toll paper from work and I'm like, do I really want to take sandpaper to this hemorrhoid? Because that's exactly what it's going to feel like. It's it's it's no point now. But yeah.
Beard Laws (16:25.447)
Man, bidets.
Beard Laws (16:41.491)
Yeah, it sucks. It's been it's been a rough couple of you know, then we had some spicy food. I'm just like, but yeah, I saw a couple of and then we're you know, we went to the hotel, we were getting ready to check out and I was like, I don't feel like going all the way up to the room. So I just use the one kind of little lobby one which is downstairs, you know, in this awkward, not awkward, but it was just downstairs out and around this old building. And it was awesome. It was like a very well done redone. And I'm like this. But again,
It only had one toilet. So you lock the door. and it in the restaurant that's in the hotel wasn't open. And that's the bathroom for you got to leave where the food is, go down the stairs into this basement. But I'm like, man, it was I had to poop in some pretty and then of course, then it's the other battle. like, do you use the public restroom? Or do you just hey, like I'm a paying customer. I'm going to hold up other paying customers. It is what it is. I'm probably never going to see them again.
So I don't care. And even at the end of the day, it's like, I'm just like, IBS.
Yuban Whakinov (17:40.022)
That's the key.
Yuban Whakinov (17:43.904)
Yeah. And so mine, of course, are never like solid. So if I'm going, I'm making lots of noise. So that's what I'm usually conscious about whenever I'm I'm let loose. But that's the same thing. That's the same mentality that I have. If I'm ever making like an ass into myself at the amusement park, I'm just trying to make my kids laugh and stuff. And my daughter's like, dude, stop. Don't you get embarrassed. I'm like, I will never see these people again a day in my life. I don't give a fuck.
And like everyone's always like, how do you do that? I'm like, I just don't care. I don't care about a lot of things. It does not bother me. but we, for my anniversary, we didn't even go, we didn't do anything. We had like a little staycation. We just kind of just were lazy as fuck. got some, of our local, Mexican cuisine. was fantastic. Even though, it's called, so I got some chicken fajita nachos because I'm a little basic bitch.
Beard Laws (18:19.337)
Same.
Beard Laws (18:32.711)
Ooh. Yeah, what'd you get?
Beard Laws (18:41.156)
we love nachos.
Yuban Whakinov (18:43.174)
fuck, it's so good too. they just, yeah, homemade chips, homemade cheese sauce. like the fajita chicken too, seasoned so fucking good. And then has like peppers, onions, tomatoes, all that good stuff too. boy, I'm telling
Beard Laws (18:44.777)
Homemade chips. Ooh. Ooh.
Beard Laws (18:56.307)
Yeah. See, that's a cool one because where I'm from and even where we've traveled, I've never really seen chicken fajita nachos. A lot of the places we went to were barbecue, so it was pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket. I went brisket nachos and tacos and stuff, but the fajita nachos, that sounds fantastic.
Yuban Whakinov (19:14.836)
And I have to be very specific with them because they're normal chicken nachos that the majority of people order are like the shredded kind. And me being a texture person, I prefer the fajita. So, know, and every time I'm asking, I'm placing an order online, I'm like, fajita chicken nachos, please. You know, I'm like on both of them. You know, boom, boom, boom. I go pick it up and I see that they're shredded and I go, fuck, I gotta be that guy. And they're like, hey, no, it's still chicken nachos, man. Like you're good. I'm like, well,
Beard Laws (19:37.308)
Hmm.
Yuban Whakinov (19:42.028)
Right, you're totally wrong. Like, it's not the same thing.
Beard Laws (19:45.183)
If I wanted chicken nachos, I would have left out the word fajita.
Yuban Whakinov (19:49.314)
Exactly. And I show him and they see it on the receipt and they go, I know. Sorry, senior. Sorry. And I'm like, it's good. It's good. And, you know, there'll be a couple of minutes. I'm like, that's, that's fine. They usually throw in some chips and salsa. I'm like, oh shit, you don't have to do that. But much appreciated. You know, and, uh, dude, if for the, I'm trying to think of it's probably 16 to 20 ounces of their queso sauce. About yay big, right? Like a coffee cup is what they put it in. Right. And, uh, that thing was $9.
Beard Laws (20:10.974)
Wow.
Yuban Whakinov (20:18.626)
for that cheese. But it has a little bit of a spice to it and it is so fucking good. It is worth it every time. And the cool thing is, their portions are so big that everyone kind of just splits. So even if I'm getting nachos, I'm sharing with my son and it's, we still have leftovers. So that's why we're always like, hey, we didn't get everybody a meal. So let's just go ahead and spend $9 on this fucking cheese and let's get fucking, let's get sloppy. You know, so everyone's
Beard Laws (20:19.153)
Really? Pretty good. Little spice.
Beard Laws (20:46.949)
Yeah
Yuban Whakinov (20:48.032)
pouring it all over their meals and everything just like you can feel your arteries clogging as you take every bite. Fucking worth it.
Beard Laws (20:53.637)
Yeah, we went to this nice like barbecue place, not classy, but a little bit, you know, upscale for barbecue. It's kind of one of the places. The one thing I didn't love is the booths. Like you're kind of right next to people. It's like if you get some weird, like I'm sitting almost shoulder to shoulder with this like larger guy and to the point where he's like, hey, what'd you order? I'm like, we're trying out the nachos. He goes, did you already order your entree? I'm like, no. He goes, you ever been here? I was like, no. goes.
The nachos are huge. But our plan was, right, let's just get two apps. We're drinking. We had been drinking all day. Let's get a fancy drink. See how it goes. We get the nachos. We split it stuffed. We get like these Ruben bites or something. I mean, we could barely get through them. You know what I mean? And as soon as the guy is like, All right, I'm ready to take your entree. We're like, Nah, think we're pretty full. Got the cold shoulder. He just turned into just kind of like, Okay, well, let me know if you need anything else. It was like, Don, I'm like, you son of a bitch. We ordered two $15 drinks.
these nachos, which were, you know, whatever. And then another appetite like you're getting. And I was like, you know what? You just earned yourself. You just went from a 20 % tip to a 10 pretty quick, And I was going to leave cash. Now what's going on the card?
Yuban Whakinov (22:01.342)
Yes, and that's what I never understand
Yes, I don't understand. I'm the same way if like, if they give us attitude about like splitting a meal, like if I were at the restaurant, they're like, you can't do that. They're like, I think that we're going to leave them like some. Yeah, some of them like they're like, no, you can't split the like it's you have to have individual orders. Like that's fucking crazy. That is that is fucking crazy. Yeah. Some place didn't have a kids menu either. I forgot what it was. It was like a barbecue joint, I think, which I some places like I get, but I'm like,
Beard Laws (22:18.003)
What? Somebody's told you you can't split a meal?
Beard Laws (22:27.241)
I would get up and leave.
Yuban Whakinov (22:36.226)
Even Famous Dave's has a fucking, they have 99 cent Wednesdays, like you could do something, you know what I mean? And Famous Dave's is trash, by the way. Yeah, just something, anything. Everybody has fucking chicken fingers, my God. Get some from the food truck and put it in the deep fat fryer, call it a day, you know? But it's, I don't know, like some places they won't do the portions, they don't have kids meals, so I'm very picky about where I go, because I'm like, you know what, fuck you.
Beard Laws (22:42.695)
Yeah, take a box of Kraft Mac and cheese, you know?
Beard Laws (22:51.838)
Mm -hmm.
Beard Laws (22:55.793)
Yeah.
Yuban Whakinov (23:05.922)
I usually get my stuff to go and I hate it too because if you don't put the tip on the app, that you know, if you do, they won't make you sign for it. But if you don't, they're always like, oh, here you go. And I'm like, I didn't, you didn't do anything. You brought it out to the fucking car. Get out of here. You know what I mean? And some places I will. 90 % of the time I won't. Maybe I'm an asshole.
Beard Laws (23:15.539)
Mm -hmm.
Beard Laws (23:27.871)
I'm a dude, I was the same way. was every single place, ice cream shop. You know what I mean? Like every single place. Like you just scoop two scoops of ice cream. You really want me to pay you an extra $5? And the wife kind of looked, she's like, you don't have a problem just pressing no tip or skip? I'm like, no. And I kind of said it and I was like, she scooped two things ice cream. Like if she's not making enough money and their business can't figure out like how to incorporate that.
then get a different goddamn job. Like, what is that a couple extra bucks? Like, oh, I already, I just paid $15 for two scoops of ice cream. You want me to really add another $3? No.
Yuban Whakinov (24:07.86)
Yes, and that's when and as soon as you get done with the tip then immediately after what would you like to donate to that like mother fucker? No, I do not like quit asking me for more money and every time I see this topic brought up the comment section is always like hey if well if you can't afford to go out and tip then you need to stay at home and I'm like why the fuck am I tipping again like your answers for two scoops of ice cream? Why am I going to Subway and whenever I watch them make this sandwich in a minute?
Doesn't ask me if I want to tip them. Are you fucking out of your mind? No, I do not.
Beard Laws (24:41.097)
They have to do it anyways. and you know, I would potentially consider it if they made it, had to run it out, they refilled your drinks, like they were working for it. could not say in there now, but there is not like a server who's probably making less money. Cause in a lot of states, I think you can pay a server less, right? Under minimum wage could see that. But if you're at least making minimum wage, I get it. And if you don't love that, that's what you're doing.
Yuban Whakinov (24:59.03)
like half of minimum wage. Yeah.
Beard Laws (25:08.253)
We all have choices in life. But like you said, if it's good service or it's a good place and a small, I'll maybe consider it depends, you know what I mean? If I'm in a good mood or if I've been drinking.
Yuban Whakinov (25:17.77)
Yeah. Or if like they generally like if I walk in and they notice they're cool as fuck, they're like, hey man, how's your day going? Everything else. I'm like, you're cool as fuck. Like you seem like you like to be here. Here's a company. And even if it's a couple extra bucks, like I know it ain't nothing to me, but you know what mean? It could be something to him. You know, my cool. Here's a couple extra bucks, but same thing. If somebody's not serving me, I see no reason to tip. I'm not none at all. You know, like the old school pizza hut days, whenever you would go there, sit down, get a pizza hut.
Beard Laws (25:41.797)
Mm -hmm.
Yuban Whakinov (25:46.54)
They're refilling your drinks and everything else. Cool, you know, cool. I'll get you that. If they're pulling our plates and everything at the buffet. Absolutely. I'll give you a tip. If I'm picking up a pizza to go, you didn't even do like they don't deliver to my house. You know how it is. You can't get delivery. So if I'm picking that shit up, I'm not tipping you. What the fuck?
Beard Laws (26:06.111)
And who does it even go to? Does it actually go to the pizza maker? Is it going right back to the pizza hut? Is it going to the person that just whined you out? That's one thing. It's like if you've got to split that $3, you know, eight ways. Well, that's just kind of an insult anyways, but
Yuban Whakinov (26:20.522)
Right. But I did the audacity to bring the receipt though. I'm always like, no, I know what I did. Fuck you. And the food's already in my car, so you can't spit in it. So thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Beard Laws (26:22.089)
Doesn't make
Beard Laws (26:32.093)
Yep, and I'm not coming back next time. Yeah, it is getting out of control. It is getting out And I feel like we have chatted with about that before, but the tip culture, son of a bitch, you know, it's crazy. you know, I was still surprised. There were still a couple of businesses where we went in Plasa that were still cash only. And I'm like, well, ATM's there. I'm going to, there was a lot of people that just turned around like me. I don't even know the pin to my, I mean, I had cash, don't get me wrong, like, but.
Yuban Whakinov (26:34.762)
Exactly.
Yuban Whakinov (26:50.338)
Really?
Beard Laws (27:00.479)
Kind of a interesting move to still be cash only in 2024.
Yuban Whakinov (27:06.664)
I know I rarely have cash unless I'm going to the concession stand, you know, and that's, -mm. Yep, I think I told you that before, I'm not making that mistake again. Never again. But yeah,
Beard Laws (27:16.295)
Yeah. And, know, was kind of one of those things. We left the tip for the old, for the old, you know, what are they keepers, housekeepers or whatever they're called in the biz. I don't know that there is any. didn't see a single employee in this entire place, but I have to admit we walked into a clean, super clean room and a made bed. Somebody's got to do it. I don't know who didn't see it, didn't see a cart, didn't see a person.
didn't even see a closet that would be full of supplies. I don't know how it goes, but it was clean.
Yuban Whakinov (27:49.11)
They most likely if it's that small, it's probably somebody who the dude that to know, checked in at the front desk or woman probably also the housekeeper. that's right. You did say that you.
Beard Laws (27:59.165)
There was no check
All weekend, never saw a single person at the thing. was just, your keys are there. It tells you your last name and your room number, the keys inside. You go to it. And then when you check out, you just drop it in a box. I didn't see a single person behind the desk the entire weekend from in and out, whatever, like I said. But it's a huge, huge building. mean, huge.
Yuban Whakinov (28:26.178)
So what prevents somebody else from taking your key?
Beard Laws (28:29.183)
I don't know. Yep, I mean, obviously it's I would have to imagine a lot of the honor style system if that's still a thing these days, but I'm going to show you the outside just to show you how big this building is. mean, this place, you see. This place was huge.
Yuban Whakinov (28:31.052)
That is wild.
Yuban Whakinov (28:50.722)
Holy shit.
Beard Laws (28:52.607)
Where'd it go? Yeah. That's a big place. I mean, what's that one, two, three, four floors, rooms all over. This right here is the restaurant. mean, yeah, we were on the front of the building. So we looked across the road to a synagogue. But you come in here, this was like the restaurant. So anybody can come in here. They use these tables too for the outside dining for the restaurant. I mean, was too, I'm telling you, it was cool. But you just walk in.
Yuban Whakinov (28:57.196)
Damn. Look at that view.
Beard Laws (29:20.861)
This was this little side room, which was really cool. You know, I mean, you're just this was the first floor going up the stairs. This was the this was the place you would just sit here. There your keys were here. There was a box right here that just said, hey, put your keys there when you when you're on your way
Yuban Whakinov (29:37.194)
That is insane. That's really, that's a beautiful place. And he sits only three hours away from
Beard Laws (29:42.683)
About
Yuban Whakinov (29:44.086)
That is crazy. So like we're taking the family again to Branson, Missouri. That's where they want to go here in a couple of weeks. So we will be spending two days in the wonderful YIHA Southern or Southwestern Missouri. Southwestern? Yes. Southwestern Missouri. In the Ozarks. my God. It's going to be a fucking… Though the amusement park there, Silver Dollar City, I said it once and I will say it a million times, is
Beard Laws (29:50.654)
Hey,
Yuban Whakinov (30:14.102)
best amusement park in the country. I've probably only been to four or five in my life, but I'm still going to stand by that statement. It's fantastic.
Beard Laws (30:22.503)
Hey, still the top. I know it is kind of one of those things how it shifts, you know, where we're there, we're there for our anniversary, no kids, and we're just like, man, the kids would love it here. I mean, this place, the food, whether it was the food or this little place, there was an arcade, they're like, I'm like, okay, we got to save up some money in the next couple of weeks before summer ends, we got to bring them, hopefully the rooms, you know, the only problem is too is the rates of the rooms do get a little bit more.
when it starts to be, and I know it's probably weird for some people to listen, but when the leaves start to change colors up in the mountains and stuff, and you get the leaf chasers, and know, just people wanting to see the mountains. But what's crazy too, in the next couple of weeks, there's like a huge Ironman race that's happening there. So the price of everything is like through the roof because you get all these people, all these health nuts that come in. There was a bunch of people there that were training for it. I mean, everywhere you looked, there was people running, there was people renting those stupid paddle boards.
Yuban Whakinov (30:56.702)
certainly
Yuban Whakinov (31:06.868)
shit.
Beard Laws (31:21.085)
some kayakers and people swimming and fucking dogs everywhere. Huge dog town. Like if you don't like dogs and you don't enjoy people watching, you know, running by you, that's not the place for you. I mean, everybody I think had a dog, people visiting had their dogs. And I'm just like, like I have two dogs and they're assholes. There's no way I could bring the dogs here. They wouldn't shut up. They'd keep barking. And you know, they're just not acclimated if that's the right word with you know, other dogs, other people.
being in cities and it was just like dogs everywhere. Taking dumps, people having to pick up with those little, and even the businesses were just like, hey, you know, a lot of them had water out for dogs. The Mexican restaurant that we walked by a couple of times even had a little lime on the bowl for the dog, which was kind of funny. Stores have, you know, like dog friendly items and, you know, dog foods and treats. I'm like, this is a dog place. It was interesting.
Yuban Whakinov (32:15.798)
That's so I'm not I'm not a huge dog person or mind them. But I know that there's there's always people who bring him to like every single sporting event and everything and I'm like, leave your fucking dog at home, please. And they go No, this is this is Georgie. This is our baby. He can't be alone for an hour that I'm like, and get rid of it. I don't know. I don't want to tell you every time. And you'll just be sitting there in your little lawn chair, get ready to watch a soccer game or whatever sporting event it is. And next thing you hear
Beard Laws (32:34.695)
Maybe alone for an hour. He's not a two year
Yuban Whakinov (32:45.674)
It's like, this is really cool and unexpected. Hey. And they're like, he just really likes you. And like, well, the feeling is not mutual. Can you get him the fuck away from me?
Beard Laws (32:56.273)
It's one thing, I guess if they're behave, they're not barking, you know, this and that, I guess it's no different than a kid freaking out, having a meltdown, screaming, you know, I can see that. And a lot of those were, they were pretty good, but it was almost like there was this dog beach. I don't know if it was intentional that, but there was all these people with their dogs, right? And then they were just hanging out. And the weirdest thing I saw is this guy wanted
bigger dog to be a paddleboard dog must have been on Instagram and was like, Oh, it'd be cool to have my dog on this big ass paddleboard. 2030 minutes, dude finally gets a dog on the paddleboard and it is barking the entire fucking time. So we finally get some on there doesn't this other guy with dogs not unleashes which I thought was kind of a thing. Definitely a local just chucks the ball in the water. And as two dogs go after I'm like, this dog is going to jump off this paddleboard and go get that goddamn ball. Somehow it didn't I think the dude was holding
Yuban Whakinov (33:47.245)
Hehehehehe
Beard Laws (33:50.409)
So then the guy's walking by with his dogs again, not on a leash. One comes right up to me. Whatever. I pet it. Cool dog. And he's just like, yeah, man, I don't know. And I just kind of look, he looks like this mountain dude. He's got two different socks, some hiking boots. Looks pretty rough. He's like, no, I don't know. I'm pretty good right now. I ate tacos way late last night. goes, you know, I just got so hungry from the mushrooms. And it's just on speakerphone, having this conversation about eating mushrooms and tacos. And I'm just like, Jesus.
Yuban Whakinov (34:19.968)
That's talking about mushrooms, man. That's I told you we had to go to a pool party. This guy, he was just like, hey, I like to take mushrooms. He's like, sometimes the wife walks in and she's like, hey, you're in really good mood. And she's like, you ate some mushrooms, didn't you? And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, damn, I didn't know you guys were this fucking cool. I was like, not at all.
Beard Laws (34:43.807)
I know your breath smelled like shit.
Yuban Whakinov (34:45.602)
I was like, shit, I was like a little deviant. I like, I knew that church fucking persona that you guys keep putting. That was a fucking lie. They were talking to, or he mentioned to me, because I was like, I was like, do fantasy football? And he's like, no, I don't ever play. He goes, some people take that shit really fucking serious. And I go, yeah, yeah. And he goes, you're one of those fucking people probably who take it really seriously. And I was like, no. I was
But my friends, they do. And I was like, there was these group that they decided whoever got last place between the five or six of them, that the loser had to get a tattoo of the others choosing. And this thing was the size of a palm, like my palm, massive. And it's of like my best friend going, doing that. It's his face on his buddy's back. And he has a pirate hook.
like a cowboy like button and like collar or whatever like he's the weirdest combination of a tattoo but I showed him I was like hey you know this is this is what he got tattooed on he goes that's not even small but what he's like yeah you you guys are crazy and I was like yeah we have fun with this I was like it's not bad it's not
Beard Laws (36:05.672)
There's no way in hell I could be in one of those. because it's like, and the best part is most people are like, I know I'm good enough to never take last. Then you draft a team and you're like, I'm going to win. Then injury, injury, injury, tattoo. And you're like, son of a bitch.
Yuban Whakinov (36:21.42)
know, the guy who got it is statistically pretty fucking good year over year. And I think he was one of those ones. like, I'm not gonna get last. And then my friend to the one that the face of the picture. He was just like, same. I'm not gonna get last. I'm like, but what if you fucking do he gets thought has even crossed my mind and I'm like, that's
I wouldn't sleep. would be roster baiting nonstop, just not looking at my rock, making switches every single fucking minute debating on what I'm gonna do. I couldn't, there's no way. No, I'll lose some money any day. I'm not gonna tattoo, that's just life.
Beard Laws (36:55.165)
I couldn't do it. Nope. Nope. Not for
Beard Laws (37:02.313)
Yeah, that's yeah. And especially because I don't even have a tattoo. But hey, that's part of the thing. Like, I mean, wherever in a league and potentially we are on the Buddy Wrong podcast, he won one fantasy football league. Yeah. I'm even doing those punishments. I'm like, I'm not I'm not going to do something like I'm not going to agree to one. That's cheap entertainment. We do it for we do it for all the folks. So.
Yuban Whakinov (37:23.426)
That's what one guy kept saying too. He goes, I'm going to shave my pubes and make you guys smoke it. And I'm like, that's fucking disgusting. No, I'm not doing that shit. Now is that hilarious for him to say that? 100%. And this is a terrible segue, but I see that we're already like 40 minutes in. There was something I wanted to bring to your attention. I didn't know if we mentioned it be pre show. Have you seen these child predators getting
at Walmart by these new like catchers. Like I don't know if they're Gen Z, millennial, I don't give a fuck, whatever. But these new age guys are meeting these people and they're asking them questions. like, hey, we have these messages, yada, yada, yada. And they are slapping the absolute dog shit out of these people. It's not like, wait for the cops to come, know, Chris Hansen type of thing. They're beating the shit.
Beard Laws (37:56.329)
Mm -mm.
Yuban Whakinov (38:20.866)
out of these pedos, right? And you, and recording it and screaming at the top of their lungs like, this guy's here to meet a 13 year old boy or whatever, you know? And they're just beating the shit out of them. And the guys, and you know, the predators or whatever, they're always like, we're gonna call the cops. And they're like, okay, go ahead and call the cops, man. Go ahead, whatever. And they're like, fuck. And so they're getting chased out of like Walmart, Ross, whatever store you can think
Beard Laws (38:22.93)
and recording
Yuban Whakinov (38:47.562)
and these people are chasing them down and sweeping their legs so they fall down four or five times before they even get to the door. And they're like, hey man, we already got your tags, we got your license plate. And so they'll beat the shit out of them all the way to their vehicle. It is insane. And I don't know if it's just like a new thing, but my for you page has been nothing but this shit. And I'm like, this is wild.
Beard Laws (39:12.627)
Yeah, that's an interesting thing because obviously you want these people to get beat up. I mean, they're there to meet a kid, you know, but it's like at the same point, them getting beat up, they're going to heal. You know what I mean? you know, it's curious, like, and this is my brain just free thinking here. Like, I wonder what the cops could actually do. Like, yes, they have the evidence, but they probably have to do their own investigation. man, and they've got to put the cops in a weird spot too, where they show up and it's like, well, you're getting arrested for assault.
Yuban Whakinov (39:24.812)
they
Yuban Whakinov (39:42.162)
Exactly.
Beard Laws (39:42.745)
on this guy and hopefully for their sake too, it's not like a stage thing. You know what I mean? Because I heard that, now that you mentioned it, maybe it was even on the Body Wrong or something where they're doing staged things, they're hiring actors to pretend to be pedophiles. And then people are seeing these actors pretending to be the pedophiles and then actually thinking they're pedophiles. They're like, no, no, no, I was just paid to do the bit. And they're like, so you're a pedophile? And some of these people, think we're losing jobs. And it's
Yuban Whakinov (40:07.435)
Yeah.
Yuban Whakinov (40:12.074)
Yeah, why would you even sign up for that? The internet is forever. Why would you ever want yourself like self -anis like with any sort of that information around your name? Like, hey, you want to pretend to be a pedophile? No, not even in the slightest.
Beard Laws (40:25.063)
Yep, this has a chance to go viral. You'll make so much money.
Yuban Whakinov (40:28.898)
Don't you want to make like 35 bucks from TikTok? It's like, no.
Beard Laws (40:33.224)
Yeah, and I don't know what the price tag is, but yeah, mean, that's a, I don't know. So that's always kind of my thing too. It's like, it's on the internet. Is it actually true? Because there's a good chance that it's probably staged, you know, other than those like certain wipeouts and stuff.
Yuban Whakinov (40:50.432)
even had a like epiphany of I was sitting there thinking I should change my my name on social media because I'm like, man, I'm getting older. And I'm like, even my kids know my username. And what it was is my my son was at this eSports camp and he was on Fortnite. And so I had to take the day off because we were several different running around camp, two kids going to camp, one kid going to meet up a friend, yada yada yada. And so
Beard Laws (41:18.707)
Mm -hmm.
Yuban Whakinov (41:20.246)
They were sitting and playing on Fortnite, so me and my little one also get on, and I notice they hop in the party, so there's other kids from this camp that's hopping on. My gamer tag is even whacking off, and I'm sitting there just going, fuck. There's nine -year -olds playing, and every time I'm smoking them, I had no fucking mercy. I was absolutely unleashing hell on these kids,
Beard Laws (41:33.451)
ever.
Beard Laws (41:44.575)
It must be failing you, why am I even paying for this
Yuban Whakinov (41:47.906)
And like, you can hear it within their headsets. They're like, this you been guy. And I'm like, I'm like, okay, let me go ahead and just hit start, leave game, confirm. Yep, yep, yep. I'm gonna go ahead and do that. and even whenever I'm talking to these dads at the pool party and they're like, hey, remember when you had that TikTok? And I'm like, yeah, I still do. And they're like, what was, what was your TikTok handle? Again, I'm like, it was even whacking off. And they're like, yeah. And I'm like,
fuck, like, damn it.
Beard Laws (42:17.919)
I just think you own it, just own it. mean, shit Rob, he didn't even know that it was a thing and for how long when we were chatting until it clicked one time when somebody said it out loud.
Yuban Whakinov (42:26.198)
That's true. And he's brave going, he might as well just incorporate his middle name at this point, you know, putting first and last. Bold, bold move.
Beard Laws (42:34.643)
Yeah, that's it is pretty bold. He doesn't care. He's Max ABB, baby. Go check out the Drink O 'Clock podcast and the Body Wrong podcast and the Triple T podcast. All the stuff in the Beardlaw Studio if you want. It's to be better than that pedophile kind of content, although watching them get smacked up a little
Yuban Whakinov (42:49.238)
Right? There's nothing else. There's nothing else going on right now. Watch us. I'll just talk about all sorts of random things in all three shows. We have a good time. Let us let us penetrate those ear holes.
Beard Laws (42:58.277)
It's true. We love it. I don't know. I think that's a good time to say goodbye. You got stuff to do. I got stuff to do. We put in some time. Brandon's on the road, probably eating all sorts of good stuff. Make sure you check him out. Brandon J. McDermott. Speaking of a guy that has an entire name on there, but it's good stuff. He's got a book, Abandon Brandon. Give it a buy. I have it down in the studio right next to the Steve -O from Jackass1 over there. yeah, go check out You've Been Wacking Off .com. He's got candles. He's got
Yuban Whakinov (43:15.482)
