I have an uncontrollable addiction of firearms.
Speaker 1:Welcome back to another episode of messy buns and shotguns episode 31.
Speaker 2:Here we go, oh man.
Speaker 1:It's been a day The weather at. my hair is currently wrapped in a towel. It came home and instantly got in the shower.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i got soaked on the way home. The weather is actually, and it was awful. I got drenched on the way home. I got poured on on the way back from friendship annex.
Speaker 1:The weather has been pissing me off because when I'm home it doesn't want to rain, It wants to be humid. Think about it Like the circle around our home of sunshine.
Speaker 1:Prevents rain, but all around it like is clouds and it just goes in a circle around us. It's like just kidding. And today at work, at like monsooned while we're not home, and all I've really kind of been wanting lately is one of those really big storms of just rain and thunder and, like I And you know, even if the electricity goes out, that's okay, because I'm in one of those type of moods.
Speaker 2:We're literally inside the building today and like giving presentations and listening to other people present, and like it started pouring the rain and everybody thought it was just the AC kicked on.
Speaker 1:I think that in my office too, because it happens right behind me.
Speaker 2:And I was coming back from lunch and like I walked in soaking wet, soaking wet, and they're like is it raining? And I was like no, i just like fell in swimming pool, like yeah, it's raining. They're like, yeah, it's not the AC, it's the rain.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in my office it's like that. Like behind me There's a building behind us that they just moved in an office there and I can literally It's actually quite funny, because I can hear them like when they were doing construction and everything, and now that they're in there I guess that's their like board room, meeting room or something, and I hear it all the shit that they're talking about Insider secrets. The things they do in the jokes. They try to crack on each other, like these men back there. It is hilarious and like I'm just cracking.
Speaker 1:I'm like I have no idea I can hear them. I just kind of want to like go in and like put faces to the name, to the voices or whatever, But every time it's always monsoon.
Speaker 1:Back off my sidetrack I always hear the rain and it sounds like the AC is kicking on and it's not, which is weird since there's a building behind me, but it really, like I hear it, it's crazy. Then I just I know Mike has a window in his office, so I always just message him on teams like is it raining? Because I don't feel like getting up and walking 10 steps to look out the ultimate form of lazy. Well, i can only see, because, like, right from my door, i can see into the door, into the cafe area that there's a window. Well, it's the lunchroom, the break room.
Speaker 1:It's the main one and I can see the window barely through there, but that's what requires me to lean get up. No, it's not lean like get up and then walk out my door and look to the left, you're forcing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Sometimes I just don't want to get up. Sometimes I do, Sometimes I don't. But this morning one of my coworkers told me because I finally got a lamp from my office and it works really nice And like the painting I have on the back of my wall, like the lamp reflects, It gives a nice little ambience. because my coworker walked by and was like like the ambience. I don't know if he's being sarcastic or not, but he was like I like the ambience in your office And I was like thank you, It helps with my headache. My boss comes in and is like the darkness.
Speaker 2:I live in darkness and I absolutely love it, It's just.
Speaker 1:I don't know. It's just. The new lights in our office are just so bright, Just so uncanny. Like I'm telling you it's insane And they're just like out there. Did you excuse me? Did you know that today, last episode, we talked about mental men's mental health month?
Speaker 2:Did you?
Speaker 1:know that today is National PTSD.
Speaker 2:Yes, i read that on. Actually, i think I saw it on TikTok.
Speaker 1:Oh, I heard it on the radio.
Speaker 2:Was it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the radio show I listened to in the morning Kid Craddock in the morning for all my Texas, all of our Texas fans, y'all know what I'm talking about. If you used to listen, they used to be on 96.1. This is in San Antonio, texas. They used to be on mix 96.1 and then I found out they recently changed to 101.9. But they are also, i found out, in West Virginia, which was awesome because when I would drive to work I could listen to them and they were on 104.5. So, but now that I have a satellite, they don't. They're not up here in the DC Maryland area. So I listened to them on Twitch and I love them, but every morning they do like celebrity birthdays and they do like the holidays.
Speaker 2:So they do not have a serious channel.
Speaker 1:I don't know if they're on Twitch and they're on like iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2:I don't know if they have a serious exam channel.
Speaker 1:Oh no, they don't know. They used to have a dish nation channel back in the day, but they don't have that anymore. So I'm a huge fan of them. Love them all. Kelly Raspberry, Big Al, Mac, JC Chavez and part time Justin and Anna, who is getting married this week. It's like I'm their best friends and they don't even know who I am?
Speaker 1:Actually I'm not really excited because actually no, i have been mentioned on Anna and her friend, one of the girls who works. I think she I don't think she works at the Kid Chronic Mournish show anymore, but she did her and her friend have a podcast called Remember. I Told You This was a long time ago. They're called. It's called on cloud wine. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1:And they were starting to watch the vampire diaries. And this was when the whole big thing where everyone thought This was before the vampire diaries actually left Netflix and went to HBO Max. But a couple years ago they had talked about leaving Netflix and that they had like just started, and it was like they had a month to watch eight seasons. And so I had DM'd her on Instagram and was like Hey, just saw this, just listen to your episode, i know you guys are watching the show, and so on their next episode, she straight up called me out. She was like Kim possible, 1473 on Instagram. Kimberly Sharp like, completely like, called me out and found out that it was only in the UK. But now they're officially not on Netflix, it's on HBO Max And actually started. My mood has been that I've started watching vampire diaries.
Speaker 1:Oh God that's the type of mood I've been in.
Speaker 2:That's the worst, But anyway they don't have. It's miserable.
Speaker 1:But I listen to them all the time. I get excited. Sometimes Kelly Raspberry will respond to me when I DM her on Instagram.
Speaker 2:You should, you should work in a podcast, shout out.
Speaker 1:I should, i should, i was talking to Kelly. She doesn't know who I am, but I'm the husband.
Speaker 2:She constantly but her husband they have.
Speaker 1:They have a podcast which I really like. It's called a sandwich and some lovin.
Speaker 2:Didn't you see somebody tried to steal our podcast name.
Speaker 1:What No?
Speaker 2:Yeah, there was another, wasn't there somebody? you told me about this.
Speaker 1:No, this was about someone I know And actually it's not stealing our name. So I thought about for the longest time when I didn't know if, when I thought about possibly doing a podcast on my own but it's really hard to like do one by yourself. I feel like for me, i don't know.
Speaker 2:I feel like I could talk for hours on a podcast But things that are passionate about me, but nobody would listen. It's just going to be me rambling about firearm stuff.
Speaker 1:It just it takes time. You know, we really have people who listen to us, but yet here we are. But no, I was thinking about starting a podcast for me or for me or with just me and calling it Kim possible. But then I had gotten on Tick Tock and Christy Carlson Romano, who plays the voice of Kim possible, had put on there about how she was going to come out with a Kim possible podcast And I was like she's going to take my name.
Speaker 1:But she didn't even name it. That, though, her and the guy who did Ron's voice. They do it. It's called something else. I remember what it's called.
Speaker 2:You know I have mad respect for that. I've listened to a couple of times on the on Spotify on his podcast. Who the tactical dad. It's called tactical dad podcast And when he started out, like He tells you in his very first episode, he's like I know nothing about firearms, but I've taken it upon myself, now that I'm a dad, to learn more and to dive in the realm of firearms and I want to document it and take you along with me. Good for him.
Speaker 2:So, like I listened to his first episode and then I listened to his last episode, okay, and the amount of information and knowledge that this man has gained is very impressive, and just like How long has he been doing it for It's a couple of years. I think, oh yeah, that's good. But I got a lot of respect for that man because, like, his first podcast episode was like nine minutes long And just talking about who he was and what he was going to do.
Speaker 2:And like now he's like getting more into the weeds of things And like if you'd ask, like if you'd ask me when he first started up, like when I listened to the first episode, i was like man, this guy's got a long ways to go Right. But like now I listen to him, it's like it's amazing, like when he put his mind to it and what he's achieved and what he now knows, and now that you can give recommendations to other people, like super impressive, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's always how I feel, like trying to figure things out. But then like I get down a rabbit hole and then my mind just started because I'll message you. I'm like I'm either a genius or I don't even know what's going on, but then like my brain just gets in like this overload, and then I forget to like write it all down, but I save it all, like I save all the like videos You are definitely.
Speaker 2:You are definitely the podcast genius. I'm trying out of the two of us because, like if I had to do, like if you went out of town and you told me you're like you need to release a podcast episode I would like. I have no idea. I have no fucking idea what I'm doing, even if I told you like how simple it was.
Speaker 1:I don't think you would be.
Speaker 2:Probably not.
Speaker 1:But. But there's still so much I don't know that I'm trying to figure out, and sometimes my brain goes faster than words can come out of my mouth And when I'm like trying to type or like put it into words, like I can't figure it out on what I'm trying to learn and what it is. But like I reach out to my friend Kyle, shout out to brothers of the serpent podcast.
Speaker 1:I reach out to my friend Kyle snake like all the time And like I always catch him right when he's down a rabbit hole because, like him and Russ are like branching out their podcast to do more stuff too. So like I always catch him at like the opportune moment and we're just sitting there like back and forth to because I'm just like in this brain over. Let me just fry my brain trying to figure it all out.
Speaker 1:And then there's times I'm like I should just hire an editor, but then I'm like I don't have that kind of money I can not right now, no way. Sure, but I got thought of a good idea recently when I was grocery shopping was I got Lunchables like easy on those days where the 06 I worked for made a made a comment to me the other day about my lunch. Oh, please tell me.
Speaker 2:So I'm sitting there, he's no, six Navy type submarine force now works at my current office and I'm sitting there and I pulled up my, my Capri son. He goes is, are you drinking a Capri son? And I was like, wait till you see what comes out next, sir. And I pulled out the lunch boy, because you are a fucking man child. And I was like I was like my wife packed it for me, and then I yanked out the cosmic brownie. He was like oh my God, he's like you have the same lunch.
Speaker 1:I packed my seven year old daughter And I was like yeah, i find it very like not only nostalgic in a lot of ways, but I find it as like a good little, like surprise, like not only, yes, i can make sandwiches and put all sorts of regular snacks, you would also put in a seven year old's lunch but at the same time it kind of gives us nostalgic feeling of like I'm going to put a Capri son or lunchable in there You got to think about the perception.
Speaker 2:So like I lead, i lead like a division of probably a hundred people.
Speaker 1:Well, fine, Tomorrow I'll put leftovers.
Speaker 2:It doesn't bother me at all, but like imagine, if you like, your supervisor, who makes decisions that change the outcome of oh no, they all have their fancy leftover containers that they bring. Well, you got to think if you were on this floor, right And like the man who makes decisions, like they could change the tide of how something happens. Right And like you look over and your direct supervisor is a 31 year old redneck and he pulls out of his Coleman lunchbox a lunchable and you're like that's the man who makes decisions for me.
Speaker 1:I'd be like I'm sticking with him in the apocalypse because he gets shit done.
Speaker 2:He doesn't care, They. I actually sparked a whole conversation about Vienna sausages one day just because I had him sitting on my desk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nasty.
Speaker 2:And like well, so I had a meeting with the chief of staff, the deputy My, my direct supervisor and a couple of the other team members and like they all come to sit down, i just turn around, pop top one of a can of Vienna sausages and I was like They're like, oh, we're gonna sit down have a meeting. And I just suck back the juice and the chief of staff was like I Can respect that and everybody else like no, that's fucking gross. Yeah, they're like no, you don't understand.
Speaker 1:Everyone else if that's gross. Speaking of gross, i was Rounding back to the lunchable. The cookies in those things are awful.
Speaker 2:I don't think they're that bad.
Speaker 1:They're disgusting the Oreo cookies, the lemon ones.
Speaker 2:The white blondies the white blonde, they're not, they're not awful, they're kind of stale.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but the Oreos. I took a bite out of one of those the other day on the lunchable and I was like It's not even an Oreo, it's a wannabe.
Speaker 2:The cream is really weird.
Speaker 1:It's disgusting.
Speaker 2:It's weird, it's like tacky, it's like It's got a weird aftertaste. Yeah, this is not an Oreo.
Speaker 1:It's not great Not what I thought I was gonna get when I bit down into this. But that's the other thing too. I think I've been really spoiled lately. If you haven't tried Oreo cakesters, You are missing out.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, they're fucking good, I gotta give a shout out to my friend son on this, because her and I we always go Go shopping together. That's kind of like our thing, hey, when you go into the store and we'll go ride together, we'll get all our stuff. Go to Walmart, go to Sam's Club and she'll. She'll tell me she's like I, sun's looking for a rocacasters, and I'm like a what she goes? I don't know. I'm like where does he find this if she goes on these YouTube videos he watches? So couldn't find them? found him one day. Well then, i had one. Well, you had one.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then we saw something. Let me have a bite of that. Let me see what it tastes like Oh My god, huge. Like I don't eat a lot of sweets. Like I'm a good, i'm a big. Like I don't like cake. I don't like cake, because it's not that I don't like cake, i'm just. I worked in a bakery and I'm over cake. I like cookies and cake is a lie. Cuz. You can't have your cake.
Speaker 2:You need to do know the cake is a lie. There is no cake I.
Speaker 1:Don't get it portal to. No, but I like sour candy, like I'm a candy person. But you Oh Oreo cakesters, man, i Hope that noise, i hope it may.
Speaker 2:If that played back, that's my stomach growling.
Speaker 1:Was a dense, that was like camping. But No, those Oreo cakes, or if you haven't tried them, i mean, they're bomb, so bomb that Sam's Club hasn't been bulk now. Oh yeah and that's what I got them. So I would like I don't know, that's kind of like I don't know. I'm like I don't know how you eat Oreo. I mean, how Oreo cosmic brownie? I love cosmic brownies.
Speaker 2:But I've loved cosmic brownies since I first had one in my infant years, sitting in the wooden chair that my grandpa made me Watching Barney reruns my mom always told me when I was younger I watched Barney so much I was gonna turn to a purple dinosaur. You turn into a dinosaur sometimes, that's for sure.
Speaker 1:Something else I kind of wanted to ring up, because we talked about this a while ago, aggressive face-washing. Because I definitely know that's not what. That doesn't.
Speaker 2:Woohoo you it makes me giggle.
Speaker 1:Well, the other day you were sitting on the couch. You got really or no, you weren't sitting on the couch, you were sitting in your chair, right here, i believe okay, and you Did some, you like, aligned your head perfectly because you were getting down to business on something.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, i was gaming you were.
Speaker 1:No, you weren't gaming, you were looking, you were getting ready to do I don't know any, who doesn't matter, but you Put your hat on like you were adjusting it, perfectly, like getting down to business, and it made me think of your Woohoo story. You told me how you got wooed at yeah, we're not gonna go over that but It made me think about it. I thought, when you did it, i was like you are so handsome. And then it made me think of your.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're not, we're not gonna go, we're not gonna go into that.
Speaker 1:Oh, I think it'd be funny. No, that's not whatever, um, but yes, my, my, aggressive. The other day we were in the shower.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were taking a shower and I was done And I was done. I was just watching her wash her face and She, she puts all her face wash on right and then I see her like take a pause and Like like she's thinking real hard about something. And then and then, and then I hear her take a deep breath And then she like does like a 20 degree squat and then aggressively scrubs her face to get all the face wash off. And then when she comes out she goes, oh, like she was holding her breath like scrub, as I was. Like you know, you can like breathe in the shower, like you can breathe through your nose as you wash your face, because the water's coming down and you're breathing up. I was like you like squatted like you were getting ready to do an Olympic deadlift. She was like She's like scrubs aggressively, like she's running out of time, like she's only got 25 seconds to wash her face, so the water's gonna turn into acid and then like breeze out like she just finished a 500 against Michael Phelps just.
Speaker 1:And I started laughing.
Speaker 2:She's like what I was like. You don't have to wash your face so aggressively.
Speaker 1:But I wanted to get. I had to get all that makeup off and I wanted to get all the mascara off And so I was just like intensely scrubbing, but Something, speaking of makeup, i was thinking about this. So this is something that has never left me Since I worked at my, my last job in Texas. So I Have, i was told I have days of the week. Do you remember this? you do?
Speaker 2:have days of the week.
Speaker 1:I, when I worked in Texas, one of my co-workers would come to me and slowly started calling me Monday Kim, tuesday Kim, wednesday Kim, friday Kim, and it all goes based on how I dress throughout the week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, as the week goes on, you get progressively worse.
Speaker 1:No, it was. It was different. Like Monday Tuesday I would come in like I was hungover from the weekend, trying to regroup by life, and by Wednesday Thursday I slightly started getting better and by Thursday Friday, i always came in, i had makeup on and whatever to probably go out for the weekend or something.
Speaker 2:Well, that was when you were like drinking heavily on the weekends, but now it's the exact opposite. Like in the beginning of the week, you like, like today you had your pants suit on.
Speaker 1:It's payroll day? You never know.
Speaker 2:You had your pants suit on right, but as the week goes on, you progressively. Just don't give a more of a shit.
Speaker 1:But I noticed that too, because I'm thinking oh well, just work from home, i just gotta get through today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, monday, monday's like Monday's, like to the nines, tuesday's a little less, unless it's a payroll day. And then Wednesday you're just like I gotta look professional. And then, like Thursday and Friday, it's just like I'm not even gonna put pants on today, that's right, no one's gonna see me.
Speaker 1:I'm working home, but it I've never, that's never left. Like I think about that to this day. Every morning, when I get dressed like What would Gabe say to me Like right now, what day of the week am I? and I'm like I'm straight up, cuz then it got to a point where he would come into the. I'm like what's going on? It's a Friday and you're looking like a Monday. I don't understand it.
Speaker 2:I drank two and a half bottles of wine last night, but it to.
Speaker 1:This was to three go with three years ago now, probably go on three years and It is to this day, never left me every time I get ready in the morning, like what day of the week am I for one, what day is it really, and how am I accommodating to dress for that day of the week? But it's just always cracked me up that and I never even realized it until he mentioned it. And then the more he mentioned it, the more I focus aligned yourself.
Speaker 1:I don't know if he listens to this podcast, but if he does I hope he gets a kick out of that, because thanks to him I know so I have a shout out.
Speaker 2:I want to give yeah you should give a shout out. So this is to. I can't remember the gentleman's name. It's actually probably on that card right there. On the card it's in in the, in the in the drawer this one is the traveling cigar bros one it is.

Speaker 1:His card says catch you later, and every time I see that you're remember days confused. Catch you later. Kitchen later No, no. I See days and confused and nope, don't remember that no, well, more people reef, think of days and confusing. They just think of Matthew McConaughey and is all right, all right, all right, all right, i like them. High school girl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you can't say that as a 30 year old now.
Speaker 1:He was like that age, he was like 26 or something, like supposed to be in that whatever movie, but but the one little like pothead kid.
Speaker 2:He was always like.
Speaker 1:I don't remember any day later and they were making like what are you doing? He's like whoa, I didn't know my case man.
Speaker 2:I don't remember any of that. Oh my god, i love it. It's like I don't ever think I've actually watched that movie through and full.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's great The soundtracks awesome opening arrow Smith sweet emotion opening scene. Oh boy, it's great. It's great movie Based in right now. If we made a movie about 20 years ago would be 2003 is what days confused was. When it came out in 1994 Was burr 90s in the 90s and it was based on 1976, basically the same time frame. I'm stuck in the thing.
Speaker 2:I'm stuck in a time loop, by the way. Okay because when people tell me 20 years ago Yes, 1980s.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i was gonna say I think 70s, 80s And it's not and it's not.
Speaker 2:It's early 2000s.
Speaker 1:We were teenagers.
Speaker 2:I Wasn't even well, i mean yeah, 2005, 2006. Yeah, it's my first year high school.
Speaker 1:Okay, let's 2000, it's 2023, so 20 years ago would be 2003, which I was in sixth grade. I was 13. I Was in seventh grade because you're an old bitty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you old bitty. So I went down. I went down a rabbit hole today myself, so I registered for the bang steel course. It's gonna be August 4th and 5th.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Not because this weekend I wanted to do. They have a range and match weekend July 28 29. They have a range and match or range and competition match that weekend And I didn't want to have them to reschedule it. So like I'm not worth rescheduling planning for, but they do have a class on the fourth and fifth. So I scheduled for that and I was.
Speaker 2:I've been shooting out of my six, five the Hornady 147 grain ELDMs, the LDM matches, because they have a really good drag coefficient, they perform well at distance, right. So I went down a rabbit hole day because What they recommend bring into your course, if you're gonna shoot that long a distance, that all your ammunition comes from the same lot number, because it means They use the same batch of primers, same batch, the same batch of casing, same batch of bullets, same That's a powder, like it's all consistent, right. Because when you change lot numbers, like some of those things can change, like where the brass came from, where the bullets came from, like which way they were manufactured, and To get accuracy a distance, you want to keep all of your, your factors, the same, limit the amount of stuff that changes. So I went down this rabbit hole today. I was like I Should really start reloading my precision ammunition because they talk a lot about hand loads on their podcast And I saw I went down this rabbit hole of like how much reloading ammunition, reloading equipment would cost, what the dyes would cost, what the powders gonna cost me, primers would cost me because I probably have three or four hundred rounds of casings, because I've always saved my six, five casings, because six, five right now is like a dollar fifty nine a round, which is not cheap, because a box of 20 is gonna be, you know, 30 bucks Like just for like field and range stuff.
Speaker 2:When, all, when you get into precision stuff, like I know nozzler match grade right now It's going for like 60 some bucks Like for a box of 20, but like when you're getting talking match ammunition, you're talking like very precise stuff. So I was like, well, if I can, like the initial investment is gonna be really expensive, like to get the equipment but like It's gonna depend on how much primers and powders gonna cost.
Speaker 2:I think in the end I could probably save some money it or at least get better results or more consistent results, because I know Exactly what my powder load is gonna do every time I pull the trigger. Well, that's good but that's the rabbit hole I went down today was on reloading equipment good. And where it's also gonna take me. just I was sitting here, i got a box of open shells next to me. I was thinking about it.
Speaker 1:I Was thinking about. I saw someone the other day Take a photo, something I don't know maybe think of like how many? maybe think of how many times people probably take photos, if you don't realize it. Oh, all the time all the time and It made me, it reminded me of I don't know if I talked about this on the previous episode, i don't think so where, when we went to Myrtle Beach.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we've talked about this before I caught someone taking a photo of me.
Speaker 1:Ah, so pissed. But I just sit there and think like How many times throughout the day like You could be walking anywhere and someone's just well, think about every time we go to a falling steel match or a three gun match.
Speaker 2:I would mean how many people were recorded.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, absolutely Oh.
Speaker 2:Like how many people say, man, now like that guy's equipment, it's like let's see what he does and like we'll record the stage or something. Yeah or it's sporting plays events how many people go around with a camera just taking pictures of all the events and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i didn't mean stuff like that, though. I meant like like incognito like. I'm gonna act like I'm taking a photo of the ocean when in reality, i'm taking a photo of you.
Speaker 2:I mean Horned dogs. Do horned dog shit, man? But how many times have you been in public like, wow, that guy's be, that person's doing something really dumb? Let me take a picture of this, or you see something just like. It's like oh, i gotta talk to my wife about this.
Speaker 1:This is gonna show you the kick out of this. Yeah, we're talking about it versus taking a picture. But I mean, yeah, yes, there's just a difference or a line of when it's Funny but not funny versus when you know it's yeah, like the guy, like the guy old spank bank like the guy, like the guy at the fucking mall taking pictures of Women the as they walk up or down the stairs.
Speaker 2:Oh my god a whole binder full of cooter shots.
Speaker 1:Nasty, nasty, nasty. Well, anything else you got for today. We've had a long week. It's only Tuesday, jesus Christ, it's only Tuesday. It's. It was a kind of a long weekend. The weather has been a little weird. It's been sultry outside.
Speaker 2:You've been in a mood to.
Speaker 1:Know I'm ready to get out of it. I'm ready for it to be done and over with.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you've not. You've not been in the best of spirits this week, and but this morning helped. Yeah, this morning was okay. It's pretty decent. Decent well, I can't just like go x-rated on Podcasts right now.
Speaker 1:You can use word other than my mother listens to this. I'm not asking you to put x-boy that Emily sent me a thing today.
Speaker 2:No boy.
Speaker 1:Oh my god. She sent me a video which, by the way, holly Emily bifur, listening to this is might appreciate this Hollywood. She sent me a video which I'm gonna have to send it to Holly now because She sent me. She said They should have done this for their gender reveal and it's kind of like the Lionsgate Deal and it's all these clips mesh together About how the baby was conceived of, like them and like all these different movie clips.
Speaker 1:Well, i think baby comes from a little, like a little stork brings it down, and then there's your baby, and then like, and then like all the go, like, grow and like on all of it and then how it comes to be, and then like what the well, we want to know, we want to know, tell it, tell us, like all these different movie clips, and it's really really funny and really cute. And then at the end they do the gender reveal for everybody on the movie screen of like It's a girl, it's a boy, and I thought it was awesome and I was like that would have been an awesome idea.
Speaker 2:Well, they can do it for the next one.
Speaker 1:But no one have to send it to her could, so but that's a really good idea that like gender reveals, like, because there's so many different ways to do them. But like it's pretty cool, like to find all these different movies of like Meeting and like going through the whole process.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't talk about Goonbeam. My Goonbeam came in that talk about on the last one. No, because I had ordered it.
Speaker 1:No, you ordered it, but it came in. Because it came in. Oh, you're not your sweater. That's two sizes.
Speaker 2:Oh my, yeah, that's my sweater, my sin nude sweater. That's two sizes too small.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we can end on this. Let's hear about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So if you don't, if you don't know what Goonbeam is, it's a flashlight maker and They're modeled after the stream light. Now they have to like grab regular ones. So this is the. This is the v2 short. It's pistol-mounted weapon light and It is 1200 lumens and it's an LED. So it's it's the exact same size, weight and makeup of The TLR1 HL, but the internals and the light, like the actual reflector and light is different. And this thing is absolutely impressive Because I did a side-by-side comparison with my TLR1 HL and the Goonbeam and the Goonbeam outperforms the TLR1 HL just as far as like spot focus, candela power, because I used it on like How far I can see in my backyard, like up into the woods, right.
Speaker 2:So like the TLR1 HL has a wider beam, so you get more like coverage, but the Goonbeam is more focused, but you get more penetration, so like I could see like Detail down into the woods versus like just like lighten up the playground and seeing like the woods were there. So if you haven't checked them out, highly recommend checking out Goonbeam. They have long rifle mounts WML's. They have pistol mounted WML's. They have the V2 short. They have the V2 more, which has more lumens than they have like different types. But check them out. Goonbeam super happy with mine, i don't have any complaints yet and it comes with a battery charger for your 123s, so you don't have to keep buying batteries all the time. Cool, i recommend Goonbeam. And they send you a whole bunch of cool stickers. Well, my favorite one says presidents are temporary, but Wu Tang is forever On that note.
