Did your stomach go up a little bit?
Yes, it did.
I go.
Were you like, I thought, to yourself, were you like, I thought I had eyes on him.
I thought I did. He was over there. And then all of a sudden, he's right behind me. He's like, here, because I have my earphones in. Hi, Brian. No, he goes, hi, Brian. And I go, excuse me? And he goes, Brian, we met the other day. No, my name is Brian. Oh, Brian, that's right. Good to see you.

Chapter 2: How does Bryan's gym technique impress James the trainer?
No. You get old, you can't have hard candy anymore. It's the way of the world, kids. It's the way of the world. I'm always jealous of, you know, sometimes I see like... I don't know who it is. One of my friends. But he's older than I am. And he's always chewing on like a mint, like, you know, hard mints. And I'm like, how do you do that without killing yourself? He's got veneers. That's right.
So, yep. So we're all waiting to see exactly what happens with this winter storm. I think for some people it's clearly obvious. But those people are prepared. Those people live in places where nothing is going to surprise them. They will be just fine.
Tennessee.
Tennessee.
Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, up in through New York and Virginia. What are those other states? New Hampshire. The places we forget about? New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont. They can handle it. Oh, yeah.
They're used to it.
Yeah. We will not handle it. It will be Armageddon here. I'm sure of it. I'm just praying I don't go without power for more than a couple of hours.
Well, that's the thing.

Chapter 3: What challenges do Bryan and Krissy face with winter weather?
Powers are burst pipes. That's the other thing. Don't forget about that.
I don't worry about that so much because I have PVX, and PVX is the new—it's PVC, but it's the new stuff. Oh, okay. In most houses, if you get your house replumbed or if you've just built a house, you have PVX, and it's meant to expand and contract. It's got flexibility in it, so they will not burst. I also have a circulator, a water heater circulator.
Oh, well, we know all about your water heater.
Yes, my water heater working fantastic.
Thank God that all happened before this.
Yeah, amen. Thank God it happened while Daniel was here.
Exactly.
You think I would have been able to fix that shit by myself? Fuck no.

Chapter 4: What essential supplies do Bryan and Krissy stock up on for the storm?
No, you had guys giving you cards in Home Depot.
They saw a sucker a mile away. They were ready to charge me $1,000 just to diagnose the problem. And I know I would have needed it. I know they would have recommended it. Any plumber that would have come in here would not have fixed the problem. They would have been like, new water heater, that's what you need. And it's only five years old. You should buy a new water heater every 30 years.
Well, our house is 100 years old. What do you got down there?
I don't know. There's like steam pipes.
I don't know. Yeah.
You have to go downstairs? Jeff has to go downstairs and release the whistle?
I and Jeff have really fully investigated any of that situation.
You have a damper in your house where you turn up or down the moisture? Yeah. Coal. You got to go feed it coal. We're shoveling coal. Jeff, put some more coal in the hot water boiler. You got a boiler down there?
It's like the Titanic on land. I don't know. There could be little men living down there that we don't even know about. You've never been down there. I mean, I've been down there, but just to quickly change out the air filter and run back out.

Chapter 5: How does Bryan feel about his workout technique at the gym?
So Scott and I started ripping it down, right? And we were ripping it down one way to the other.
I'm picturing like those shows I watch on HGTV. Yeah. Yes. You've got the sledgehammer out. Let's do it. Yes. Demo day is fun. Isn't demo day fun?
Yeah, it's fun for a minute. And then you're like, it's hot outside. Let Scott do it. I got to go to Home Depot for something. I'm not sure. And when I go to Home Depot, I'm not there for a few minutes. I don't know what I'm looking for, and I don't know where it is. So I'll be there forever. Hey, everybody in the chat.
So lots of people excited, including the guy who still wants to get us a million views. Listen, I'll talk to you later about that. So we start one way, and we're going to go around. And halfway, I make an excuse. I got to go. I'll see you later. I come back the next day, and this is a non-exaggerated story.
There are, lined up on the floor of the garage, the cement floor of the garage, there are 60 squirrel skeletons that have been pieced together by Scott. Scott. Well, first of all, Scott, what are you doing? Why are we piecing together squirrel skeletons? Second of all, what had happened was one of the squirrels got up into the top of the wood paneling. And maybe there was food.
The whole family.
Or maybe they wanted to make a nest. Yes. And so he chewed through the wood, and then he fell down to the bottom. The squirrel was probably thinking, I can make a nest in here.
Yes.
But he fell down to the bottom. Yes. Then many other squirrels tried the same thing or went to go help their buddy. And it was like we ended up with like 60. But it was like Scott took a picture of it. It was like skeleton. Oh, my God. It's crazy.

Chapter 6: What humorous interactions does Bryan have with James at the gym?
So I crawl all the way down there. I pull out the filter and it's completely clean on one side, completely like not dirty, but just like full of like micro dust on the other side. And I'm like, that's weird. Usually they're like dirty on both sides. Right. And I think that's weird. So I take a picture of everything just so when I get to Home Depot, I don't forget.
And I can tell the guy what I'm looking at. So I'm like, hey, dude, you know, I'm looking for this filter. But the last filter didn't really look all that dirty. And he's like, it doesn't look all that dirty.
Right.
Because you put it in backwards. And then he goes, let me ask you a question. Are you having problems with your HVAC? And I go, yeah, actually, it's a block of ice. He goes, that's because it's pulling no air because you put it in backwards. He's like, you're lucky you didn't blow that thing up. And I'm like, really? Is that being dramatic?
And he's like, no, there's a reason why there's an arrow on the filter.
Yeah.
And an arrow inside of the machine that says put filter this way. Dumbass. Someone says they had the same issue with a possum in their house. The possum fell down and got in the, yeah, that's not good.
Well, when we first moved into our house, there was this awful smell in this one closet. Dead animal. Yes. It was like a chipmunk or something. And in order to get into it and get it out of there, we would have had to like completely rip through the wall and do all this stuff. So what did you do?
we had to just leave it and kind of let the stink go put the air out we had we bought all this industrial smell stuff and are you ready for the most horrific story you've ever heard do you want to hear it yeah yeah okay if you're eating lunch i forgive you if you're gone i forgive you if you're gone if you're eating lunch if you're queasy don't listen to the next seven minutes of the show fast forward through the next commercial for the for through the first commercial break

Chapter 7: What unexpected events occur during Bryan's grocery store visit?
Yes, a dead animal smell.
Yeah, overwhelming. It smelled like you know what a dead animal smells like. And so there were guys that were doing construction. We were doing a renovation downstairs. And so we said, let's turn on the whole house fan. Let's turn it on. And we turned on the whole house fan. And when we turned it on, it ran for about half a second.
Oh, wow.
And then a bunch of liquid fell out of the bottom, including what we assumed was coagulated blood. Oh, God. And we were all out of there. We were like, that's enough. And we convinced for $100 some of the construction workers to go up there to figure out what was going on, clean it out, and figure it out. And what they pulled out of there was a cat. That's what they pulled out of there.
A cat had gotten into the top of the old Vinings Inn and had found its way and somehow got stuck into the fan and died. Probably from the heat, right? From its 90 degree weather being so hot up there. It probably died. But I will tell you that I will never seen anything like that. Until I started watching The Pit.
And I have never smelled anything like that until you reminded me of the terribleness of a dead animal. We had a dead possum out here in front of our house. And I could smell it in the house. I swear to God, I could. I was like, that is over fucking whelming. How do you work in a morgue? No, I never, I always used to think it was dramatic when you'd like, you know, Silence of the Lambs.
They were like, they had that scene where it's like putting the stuff under the nose. Yeah, the Noxzema, whatever it is, the Vicks vapor rub under your nose. And I always thought that was dramatic until you smell a dead animal and then you know. So I hope you all enjoyed your lunch.
On that happy note.
On that happy note, I also do have to tell you, and we'll be talking about this, that I did find a way to make it back to the gym, and I did get accosted by our friend the trainer.

Yeah.
Okay. 10-4.
Like in the legs? Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, man. God bless you. You're a saint. I don't know how y'all do that. I mean, I don't get queasy with blood, but I wouldn't want to work around it every day. So we're looking at these pictures. It's my daughter's birthday.
So you want to see pictures of the, like, you know, we take a lot of pictures before all the births, like during the pregnancy and then the day of, and then at the hospital and then getting ready and kissing the baby and the whole nine yards. And we, I found my, I guess I got brave on the third one. And I looked, I took some pictures over the.
Oh,
The guard. Oh, oh, oh. And I was freaked out by the pictures I took. I didn't even know I had taken these pictures. I was freaked out. I was like, oh, oh. So I take the phone away from her real quick. Like, you know, oh, you don't need to see that. And she goes, no, I want to see. And I'm like, no, you don't. She was fascinated by the pictures.
And I'm like, early signs of a psychopath right there. Got to watch that one. Got to watch that one.
Keep an eye on that one. I will be keeping an eye on that one. She's a little devilish.
