Inside the Pallet House

People love to give you the option of what order to get good news and bad news.  Life often just hands you them in whatever order it wants to though.  Let's just hope we all have more god news than bad coming our way.

We are in beach mode this week.  We get to hear a first hand review of a Beach Boy(s) concert from Key West.  While this isn't a standard family beach activity, we do get to do a deep dive on the ones that are available at just about every other beach town.  Know what else is isn't as readily available as it should be, Sonic Ice.  Yeah we called it Sonic Ice because we know better than to call it...

Masters weekend is here, and we all now have an excuse to sit on our butts and do sports.  Speaking of butts, the Ace Ventura rhino has found its forever home, and now we all get a chance to live out our dreams.   Gonna make for some great vacation photos.  

This week we are gearing up for Spring Break, and we debate the merits of when a band stops being the original band.  We are also introduced to another world class athlete.  This one continues to surprise us as he continues to beat all the odds.  We shall see if he beats his court case. 

We are always inching closer to our mortality, and there are steady reminders.  What we do with them is up to us.  Other times we inch closer to our wildest dreams.  Sometimes realizing them can also bring us closer to our mortality.

Dave has a court case he can get excited about that he has nothing to do with.  In the end he is right though; this is an interesting case.  At least this is based on facts; unlike another comment that found legs of its own.

What you say in front of your kids can impact them for the rest of their lives.  What you don't say could have quite the impact as well.  It is tough to know how much to really say.  Then there are the people who are able to stay silent no matter who is trying to get them to talk.  

The Painter joins us for a crappy pun run, and we take a deep dive on some of our favorite urban legends.   One of our namesakes is making a run at controlling all of the ways to party in the future.

Sometimes you are gifted a golden opportunity, and then you just don't act on it.  It's not like everyday you get to go to Sizzler.  We try and help a listener not squander his chance to do something good with a rare chance.

The Olympics have come and gone, and we are reminded that there are games that can bring us all together (or not)  On the other side of that coin is how people eat their pizza crust, and it turns out that can be very divisive. 

We had a busy week.  Most of us won a lot of bets, and it turns out we can bet on just about anything if we get the right app.  Having the right tool opens up a lot of doors.  Like a shoe that can turn a coach potato into a marathon runner, or a hat that catches the monkey poop fro getting in your eyes.   

The SuperBowl is here, and our picks are in. The devil is always in the numbers when it comes to gambling. Speaking of, we have a number that we should all be striving to reach, and it is going to take a joint effort to make it work.

We are still digging out from the ice.  We all had good ideas about how to prep, and some went better than others.  At least we aren't so undercooked that the little people started to do their thing.

There is a massive storm coming so we went snowboarding last week.  Timing isn't our thing.  As you prepare for the storm you can go to Lowes or Home Depot, but which one depends on what you need.  If you need something to cure your Vertigo then both are actually bad options.  If only there was a professional that could help for such a thing. 

Dave is on fire right now, and he pulls a win out for Brendan.  Some of his tactics were a bit questionable though.  Putting a vending machine outside of a dessert shop is not; that's just science.  We also get a follow up on a recommendation that may have been questionable.

Turns out there are tricks you can use to win in conversations, and others you can use to win in games.  We take a stab at helping you learn these tricks.  You know, real First World Problems being solved over here.  

We may have stumbled on a new first world problem, and hopefully learning about it keeps you from falling victim to it.  We also heard a story about a kid stumbling upon a new word, and then sticking the landing while using it.  Dave found a word that when uttered to a family member offended them so much that they gave him a car. 

We are back for another Holiday Drink Challenge.  It has been a year so a few strong drinks would really hit the spot, but which one hits it the best is TBD.  Game On. 

Guys we have a term you need to learn:  Ethically Sourced.  It is a bit of a cheat code when trying to brighten Christmas. Some of us could use the help because their Christmas lights are leaving a bit of brightness to be desired. We could blame it on the power, but I think we know better.

So much was missed this week, and so much was made.  On any given day one of the guys was winning, and another was losing, but in the end it made for some good stories.  One of us may have even finished the show in the positive. 

  Virginia has a new star that everybody is talking about.  The unfortunate news for us is it is a drunk raccoon.  It certainly is not the new dill piackle flavored cider that we released into the wild, and I doubt anyone is talking about the sad man with the cut face and dull saw in his hand.

We have winners this week.  Frying Ryan is worth more then any of us thought. Dave fakes it until he makes it in a shooting contest.  The Kids won when we all bet on various outcomes.  Adam gets his first W?

This podcast was recorded at the end of a long day, and for some of us it shows. Like a mismatched tracksuit it has some issues.  Like a pill that makes your farts smell good it is fighting an uphill battle.  Like a room full of 2 week mustaches there are winners and losers.  At least we have some sick beer taps to bid on.

Some episodes just take a direction of their own.  Without the help of AI we managed to find our own unique path.  This is the beauty of the human mind.

When you have bad luck the universe will make it clear, and it is best to recognize what it is trying to tell you.  In our case we simply doubled down.  Drive to a strip mall casino, tell half the band to stay home, and throw money at the problem.  That should do it.
