Don't Go to Bonnaroo Without These Tips

And we just put out a simple, send us your best tips on how to do Bonnarooo.

And you guys came through.

It's amazing the number that we got.

I've been the loudest critic of Losing Thursday as a music focused day.

But the more I look at things, it looks like this very well could be a much so

much more of a community kind of day.

I'm fascinated by what he sent us because it's like it's it's master class.

Welcome back to the What Podcast.

I'm Barry. That's Russ. That's Brian.

Thank you guys so much.

A week ago, we announced the contest to give away a lunchbox

hydration packet and skins, and we're going to announce those winners today.

Thank you guys so much.

We ask you to give us your best tip or tips for Bonnarooo.

Guys, I'm a little overwhelmed.

We got a lot of great submissions, tons of them.

Yeah, really cool. Yeah.

Well, more than I expected. Yeah.

Yeah. And then we'll we'll dive into those in the second segment of the show at length.

So thank you for yeah, for playing along, getting interactive.

It's always it's always fun when that happens.

Absolutely.

And it's kind of fun to me because some of them are things that we've been

advocating, I guess that's the right word.

Since the beginning, Brian, you and I have been going to Bonnarooo since the beginning.

So our camp, our our experience has evolved.

How much have you adapted changed?

You you keep bringing the same pair of sweat socks.

Me, I haven't changed at all.

That's what I'm saying. You haven't changed anything.

Well, I've got I'm very resourceful in the sense that that that I just kind of cling

to people who can do all that kind of stuff real well.

And then just, you know, back in the day, I used to bring all of the just all the booze

that I could I work in the beer industry.

And so I can I can work my way around a bunch of excess.

You can still do that. I still can.

It's a little bit different than it used to be, but it's still possible.

So I'd be like, I'll just bring lots of alcohol and you'll bring everything

else and we'll be good.

That is true. I forgot about that.

We used to stop by your place of employment.

We don't have to name names, which you can.

And we would load up on ice because you had these ginormous ice machines where you work.

Yeah, we had all the ice and all the booze and all the water you needed.

So we would always make a pit stop.

Now, we're not the same company as we were.

I tended to have a lot of liberties back then.

I could kind of I had a key to the place.

All right. So I could I could just show up whenever I wanted.

That's not a thing anymore.

I forgot about that.

I'm just a regular old employee.

And you always came like day two or three.

So it was like, hey, guys, what do I we need Bloody Mary mix?

We need vodka. Yeah.

Do we need we need more mixers?

Do we need do we need more beer?

Do we need do we need seltzers?

Those are brand new brand new seltzers.

Y'all heard of these things?

Hey, I got this stuff called White Claw.

You want to try it?

You know, like, yeah, that was a big.

So, yeah, that's why I never had to evolve.

Since things have changed post covid.

I really do need to evolve.

I I really do.

The little can't you know, the little tired,

sad tent of mine, that joke is old and not a good joke anymore.

The joke's on me. That's got to go.

It's a great joke.

We still love the joke that doesn't work anymore.

I still say it looks it looks like the display tent at the store.

It's the one in the window.

It's ridiculous.

I mean, it's waterproof and you can set it up in five minutes tops.

That's I mean, I that to me, that was the winner, the winning decision.

But boy, it's uncomfortable.

It sucks. You can't put anything in there.

I don't know how you change clothes.

I did it all the time.

It was not easy.

It was not easy. But, you know, hey, not all of us can have

living room size, large bedroom size

camp tents like our buddy Brad used to have with the full length

mirror inside of it and a queen size mattress.

Not all of us are able to do that.

Or a bus or a bus.

And speaking of buses, yeah, I'm looking at upgrades this year.

I've I got looking at solar panels and I went down this rabbit hole deep,

you know, into this world of solar charging.

It's gotten so cheap. I couldn't believe it.

I ordered a starter kit this morning and it was like a hundred bucks.

So that's going to be my big addition.

I've already got, you know, the battery and everything set up.

So I think throwing out that panel and keeping the battery topped up

all week at Bonnarooo will be good.

And I just took the bus on a big trip to Tybee Island.

I don't know if I sent you guys that, but

780 miles round trip down to Tybee and back was pretty, pretty successful.

So that's brave.

Mechanically, that's a brave move.

In an almost 50 year old vehicle.

Yeah. Wow.

I'm excited. The the solar panel, that means we can charge our fans

and our phones and all that stuff.

Wow. What an upgrade.

This is amazing.

If it's, you know, says what it you know, if it does what it says,

which I'm sure these days it does, I mean, why not harness the sun?

My God, it's out here.

Yeah, we're harnessing it.

Yeah. Our our faces are harnessing it might as well.

And also, you guys didn't mention we're going to be doing a live show

Thursday at Bonnarooo, four o'clock p.m. on the house stage.

I have news.

We announced last week that we're going to be giving away

a pack from again, the the lunchbox.

Nick is putting together a gift packet that we will give away on Thursday

at the house stage at four o'clock when we do our thing.

But I got to speak this week with our good friend,

the legendary David Bruce.

I am Bonnarooo, and he again is offering a print

that we can give away. Nice.

And we're going to give away and give it away that day.

I have no clue how.

I don't know what that even looks like.

We'll figure we'll figure it out probably an hour before we get up on stage.

It may just be catch.

Hey, I got no problem.

You know, I don't care what the stipulations of parameters are.

I don't care whatsoever.

I would say, though, I think this you guys would agree it'll be

got to be present to win.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So that'll be the main thing is just however, even if we it's like,

you know, what do they call it when the bride throws the bouquet over?

It's funny. I thought about that. Just just.

They will do it that way.

You're the next person to be on a planet stage.

Or I don't know, whatever.

But I love it. He had a great conversation with him.

We're both we're all excited about this.

And he's camping again with us, right?

He's going to be there. Yeah.

He's staying with us and

trying to figure out how we can get to the four o'clock wedding on Saturday.

Oh, yeah.

And Kira and Tyron and Tyler.

Yep. We're going to figure out how we can get out there for their wedding.

That's awesome. So excited.

It's a it's a busy, busy weekend as clearly.

But it just seems to be getting more and more.

Kind of makes me with these recent issues with weather of a couple of festivals.

I mean, you know,

Coachella had some wind issues stage coach, which is taking place this weekend

on the same grounds as Coachella also having wind issues in this

uh, uh, Ooby Dooby, Ooba Duba, some kind of festival in wherever.

I can't even read my own writing.

Had to cancel a second day of it over the last week or so

because of bad weather in the Midwest, I believe is where it was. So,

whoo, you're bringing me down.

I know. I didn't mean to.

Last thing I want to hear about is cancelations.

I didn't mean to.

But now now I'm thinking like, oh, my God, we've got so much to do. Yeah.

I sure hope this this this weather works out for us.

I believe that it will.

I believe that I believe that it will.

I firmly do, too.

While we're talking about Thursday, Bonnaroo, though, before I've,

you know, a couple of things we want to get to real quick.

But before I wanted to mention this immediately, I almost forgot.

I messed up things again.

I mess up something on the show basically every week.

I did the Venn diagram last week.

OK, Youngblood wasn't exactly in the R&B section.

I did mention this thing was giving me anxiety.

It was going so many different directions.

It skirts right by it.

And he's more in that indie right where it crosses over.

So it wasn't in the it kind of looked like it.

Venn diagrams are a little annoying, but they're kind of fun, too.

So I wanted to say anybody sitting there saying this Brian dude,

does he even know anything?

Does he just show up and make it up every week?

The answer is mostly yes.

Mostly yes.

You're not getting any judgment from me.

I was just really looking forward to that Youngblood R&B show.

I'm just. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. That was going to be something.

He's going to do all Otis and Al Raine.

But speaking of Youngblood, I am excited as I could be.

I was listening to some of him again the other day like that.

That is probably my still my favorite act of this year.

But while we're on Thursday,

Thursday, I was thinking about this last night after kind of putting things

together, all I've been the loudest critic of losing Thursday as a music

focused day.

I have not.

I didn't like that from the minute I heard it.

And I and I and it kind of stuck with me like, yeah, that's my day.

I like Thursday. But the more I look at things,

it looks like this very well could be a much so much more of a community

kind of day that I think that there's going to be a lot of value in that

where there's a lot of community events, a lot of, you know,

that are going on throughout the whole weekend anyway.

And now on Thursday, instead of having a lot of divided of attention

of people wanting to run to different stages to see music,

they might not even know because they're just they're just ready to go.

Instead, now there's going to be so many community events happening in Outeroo.

And I'm sure more plenty of Planet Roo, as we know, as we were involved with.

And then that might just really make for a great day of just

camaraderie, if nothing, if nothing else.

That's a good works out great for us, because we're going to play our live show

unopposed. There's no music going on.

So it really benefits us.

It I like the community.

It feels like a get to know your festival again kind of day.

Maybe maybe.

If you mentioned that, if you mentioned that to me, the minute they got rid

of Thursday, I'd be like, I don't want to hear that.

Yeah. But now I'm starting to think that.

And, you know, just a few things last night that I was skimming through Reddit.

You know, these aren't my original, you know, ideas or posts

and on socials or anything.

I'm just I'm grabbing other people's ideas.

But the the fourth annual Shotgun Roo

is happening at two o'clock outside the Arch on Thursday.

I saw the video from 2024 that's on Reddit.

And I mean, everybody's just shotgun and beers.

I don't know how long that goes.

I don't I don't think it's that long at all.

It's just kind of a celebratory moment.

I hope it doesn't go for hours or anything.

That'd be a bad way. Yeah.

Do you I know you don't drink beer anymore, but when you did,

are you a shotgun?

Were you a shotgunner?

No, no, I enjoyed. I enjoyed college.

I enjoyed drinking. I enjoyed it.

Me too. Yeah.

I didn't want it to go fast.

I can't think of a last time I've shot a beer.

I'm sad because I was like, this is the beer I could have enjoyed.

It's gone now.

Yeah, like the keg stand days, like I don't want to be upside down.

I never did a keg stand.

I shot I would shotgun did do to that.

Oh, but that was when we were buying.

You could get like a six pack of blats for dollar ninety eight.

What else are you going to do with blats?

Well, I mean, I do need to shotgun.

I've shotgun plenty of beers.

But it was out of peer pressure and, you know, the party aspect of it.

I didn't really truly say it was never my decision.

No, nobody wakes up and thinks, you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to shotgun a beer.

Let's let's use a key and smash a hole in a beer.

Yeah. Use the house key.

Anyway, or use the the pump shotgun that Jake from RooHamm had.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, now that's next level.

Super soaker kind of level.

So anyway, if you want to, though, come out, you know, to commemorate the

the weekend, they're going to be doing that at the arch at two o'clock and then

at two thirty.

So I'm sure there's going to be some cross crossover here.

It's the John the John Cena lookalike contest.

Has anybody have you either of you all to I know you haven't.

But talk of you seeing this John Cena lookalike contest before, because I have not.

No, I don't know that they've ever done it.

But this is the camp name is John Cena's cousins and they've written in.

They've left comments. They've sent us photos before.

They're pretty cool.

And they're doing this with the church boners.

That's right. They're camp.

That's right. The boners are involved in it.

And then are you are you saying, Brian, that I should enter or I shouldn't enter?

I kind of you glossed over that.

I think I should.

I don't know. Do you want to wear jorts only and some wristbands around your

your your yeah, do one of these and wear a wear a ball cap and do one of these?

Yeah, I like it.

I always get confused who the the the cousins are, the the scene.

John Cena's cousins.

I thought for a minute that we actually had John Cena's cousins.

In fact, I don't know.

But I don't think it's a I think it's a good I think it's a good camp name for sure.

Oh, absolutely. It is.

So anyway, that'll be taking place on Thursday.

All of this is before four o'clock.

So you can go dress up like John Cena.

You can go you can go shotgun beers and then you can stumble your way into planaroo.

We'd be happy to have you.

And then our buddies doing the beer exchange.

You we mentioned earlier on on the pre show that that is a thing on that's on Friday.

You know, that's not that's going to be Friday.

I don't think that's been officially announced, but it is happening.

And our buddy, Kyle, the Monoruvian posted something that he's bringing a special Bonnebrew.

I don't know if this is a beer that he's made himself or whatever, but looks interesting.

So, Kyle, you don't know.

Text me back, jerk. Where you been?

I'm trying to get you on the show.

Holla. Sorry to do that here.

And then I'm curious of this.

I don't know. Maybe it wasn't a success last year, but the coffee exchange.

If anybody out there knows if that's going to happen again, let me please or this show

or any of us know, because I would love to be involved in that.

And I wasn't able to last year.

And so I'd love to.

I'd love to. I'd love to be, you know, they just bring a bag of beans, take a bag of beans or ground.

But most coffee, most coffee nerds, as I'm starting to turn into one, are going to want whole beans.

I remember the sign up sheet.

I was like, kind of can we leave this powdery junk at home?

Bring the whole beans, please.

Bring the whole beans.

So hopefully that happens.

Whoever put that together.

Thank you. I love the idea.

And hopefully you all do it again.

I hope so. And then going back to Wednesday, did you see this from Daniel?

And he invited us on Discord.

They're doing a second first annual

baseball game at group camp.

They kind of did this last year before everything got canceled.

The Wiffleball tournament.

Did you guys do that?

We did not.

I love Wiffleball, but it might understand that they upgraded.

They've upgraded to rubber balls.

Yeah.

I think it's a bad idea.

I don't know.

They sound safe until they hit you right smack in the nose.

Yeah. And they and they bounce and go for a long ways.

Also, I don't know.

Terrible idea.

God, I love Wiffleball.

I love Wiffleball.

Wiffleball is the best.

Wiffleball is the best.

I mean, all versions of playing something that resembles baseball.

I have fun. And Daniel's a big baseball guy.

Maybe. Yeah.

I get I get where this is coming from.

I love playing.

I love just throwing a baseball around.

Just just playing.

OK, here's my thing.

What's wrong with just sitting down and having a beer?

It's going to be Wednesday.

You get in. You've been driving.

You set up camp.

You get everything set up, all your tarps, all your tents and everything.

And then you sit down and you think,

you know what I want to do is play baseball.

No, no, no, no.

Man, there's nothing like a cold beer, though, after a good six inning game

of Wiffleball. You tape up the bat, Brian.

Tape it up or you leave it.

I haven't had to. No, I don't tape it.

I don't tape it. I haven't played any like good organized

Wiffleball in some time in some time.

So I don't know. We'll see.

We'll see how that will. I won't be there Wednesday.

So sorry. I will. I will miss.

I will miss that. But you'll be there Wednesday.

I don't think so.

And I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure yet.

I know, right.

I'm debating the whole week.

I'm not I haven't quite mapped it out yet.

So I guess it's up to me to stake our territory again.

I got to Lewis and Clark this.

Well, you're good. You're good at it.

We put you in charge of that because you're good at it.

I am good at it.

Before we take a break, and I can't believe I've gone this long.

Russ, the T-shirt.

Tell everybody the T-shirt.

This goes back to we talked last week about Jam Track and how much we miss it.

And it reminded me, one of our listeners, commenters,

I think his name is Brent. He comments on our show a lot.

He actually drove Jam Track for, you know, a couple of years.

And I remember, I think it was two years now.

I got on the Jam Track, sat down.

He introduces himself, says he's a fan of the show.

Oh, nice to meet you here. I got you this shirt.

I work for Icy. Here you go.

And he gives me this Icy shirt.

Just random, the most random Bonnarooo gift I've ever gotten.

And it's one of my favorites because of that.

Also, I don't know how he knew I was going to be on Jam Track

because he just had the shirt there.

I don't know how he knew my shirt size.

It's just kind of all this fell into place.

It was it was pretty amazing.

So thank you, Brent.

He had a bag full of all sizes.

Maybe, but he didn't ask.

He just handed it to me and said, there you go.

So that's cool.

Ask him to be on the show.

Were you a cherry Icy, a Coke Icy or a suicide?

I was always a suicide.

You know what I'm talking about?

Oh, I know what you're talking about.

Yeah, the mix of every single thing.

Yeah, that's what we always,

because we had an Icy machine at the pool where I spent my summers.

That's a cross-generational reference.

It was more like at the at the Little League Concession stand

where you get a Coke and then you,

but it would be every Sprite, Coke, Dr. Pepper, blah, blah, blah.

Icy's I like, speaking of Coke, I like the cola flavor, the Coke flavors.

Yeah, not much of cherry or blue.

Do we need an Icy machine at camp this year?

Is that the next upgrade?

What an idea.

We got solar panels.

We got solar power.

We can keep the ice from melting.

Yeah, that one's going to be tough.

Worth exploring.

It's an idea worth having an exploratory committee on.

Put that down as a maybe.

All right.

All right. Any other news news?

I think that covers the majority of anything new.

Oh, well, no, real quick.

The Pride Parade. People are asking about that.

Is that going to go down?

The parade slash party.

It's kind of changed over the years, depending on on on what's going on around it.

Last year, it was scheduled for Where in the Woods, the Pride Parade Party Combo.

And people were asking on Reddit

because Where in the Woods has had a kind of a drastic kind of turn or

change of how they're going to handle that space.

Would they maybe do it somewhere else?

And so that's also a question I put out to the Festiverse.

What have you heard? Do we know?

They don't think they mentioned the Pride Parade specifically,

but they did put out a big thing announcing a bunch of events with the House of Yes.

They are returning.

And Plaza Three has been renamed the Wind Barn.

Did you see that?

No, that was, I guess, just the House of Yes Barn.

And now it's the Wind Barn.

They're going to do some events there in the Wind Barn, Plaza Three.

And then they're also going to take over the Snake and Jake's

Love Shack inside Centauru for some events,

including the Robe Rage, which I know a lot of people are glad to have that back.

Well, I would be shocked if there's not a Pride Parade slash party of some sort.

Especially what's going on politically in this state.

I'll leave it at that.

Because of that, more than anything, I sure hope there's a Pride Parade and party

because you deserve it and we all deserve it as far as I'm concerned.

So I hope it happens.

I will have nothing to be able to help you here.

But if you do it, I will try to take a look at it.

And it was going to move the time last year, right?

Because two years ago, didn't they do it and figured out that it was hot as holy?

Yeah, whatever.

And so they're like, we ain't putting all that makeup on.

You're right.

They did like high noon, a parade.

That might have been the move to wear in the woods for the shade.

That might have been what that was.

And it seems to me, it feels like at some point, the Rue Run and the parade

and the Pride stuff kind of were around the same time frame, which means

middle of the day.

Yeah, you got glitter all day.

Can you imagine how awful that must be?

Ass crack a hell type of thing.

Well, I mean, just the random people that put the glitter all in the paint all over

and then sweat through it all day.

God bless you.

But yeah, so I have not heard about copy exchange or Pride Parade yet.

If anybody knows any information, we would love to hear from you.

Yeah, and hopefully we're getting an outer Rue official schedule soon.

Probably the minute we get done recording.

Yeah, the way goes, yeah.

All right, we're going to take a break and we're going to come back

and we are going to go through some of these amazing tips that you guys

have been so generous to share with us, including a video clip that

I think we could do a whole episode on.

This guy nails it.

So we'll be right back.

All right, welcome back.

Should give a shout out.

We just recently this week hit 2500 subscribers.

We did.

That's awesome.

Thank you.

Moving on up, baby.

Moving on up.

Hello.

Awesome.

2500.

Yeah, it's pretty big deal.

I thought about it.

It wasn't that long ago we were just celebrating 2000.

Yeah, that's amazing.

Thank you guys.

Yeah, thank you.

And thank you guys for all the comments.

I know a week ago when we were trying to figure out how we were going to give

these lunch box packs away, these hydration packs away, you know, typical.

We can't decide anything.

And we just put out a simple send us your best tips on how to do

Bonnarooo and you guys came through.

It's amazing.

The number that we got and the quality of them.

We're going to start off with a video contribution from Joel.

And I'm fascinated by what he sent us because it's like it's it's masterclass.

Yeah, I appreciate it.

Joel, we've we've spoken a few times.

He's from Nashville and back in the Pearl Jam tour a year ago, he he he did me a solid,

which put it that way.

And thank you for that.

And we haven't spoken probably since then.

So it's not like this is my good buddy.

Like, here, I'll sneak one in.

Brian will make sure and get me right to the front.

And I mean, I'm just going through these like anybody else.

And then I saw the video and we will get right to it two seconds.

But the the what are we calling this thing like the shoe shoe shoe rack organizer thing?

Our campmates or that turned in to our to the new camp, whatever we called ourselves last year,

have that set up.

They've had it for years now.

And the Nashville dudes.

Yeah, the dudes in Nashville and in Bath.

That's where we met Bath through.

And we all were like, what an incredible idea.

It's so simple and so effective.

But Joel's got a whole nother kind of taken it to another level.

So we can take it a step further.

And to be clear, we didn't ask for video.

He went above and beyond.

He did this on his own.

But we love video submissions of any kind.

You can send them to comments at the what podcast dot com.

And we'll take a look.

So let's play this one from Joel.

Ready?

What's up, Brian?

It's Joel like Billy.

My biggest pro tip is how I get camp quickly set up.

So ignore how dirty my garage is right now.

I am putting my pile together for monitoring.

My biggest tip is that I carry two bins that are for camp.

This one has my tapestries, soft goods, and stakes for all my tarps.

And then the other bin is other sorts of camp decorations.

But one thing in particular, my shoe organizer

that I keep folded up inside of it so that I can, as soon as I have a pop up up,

I can just yank it out, hang it right up.

It's already got everything loaded into it.

And then you can go from there.

But it has all the clips for tapestries, stuff like that.

I'll show you real quick.

So yeah, this just stays folded up like an accordion inside of this bin

that also has lights and fans and whatever else makes the rest of camp happy.

And then on the top level is binder clips for tapestries, hooks for you

never know what really.

I sometimes use them to be able to hang up the binder clips by zip tie them

rather than zip tying to the pop up.

I have a safety knife and string and then I have zip ties up here.

This row is mostly fun.

Pens, stickers, bubbles, a deck of waterproof playing cards, sprigs,

and then poncho, headlamp, hand warmers, first aid and hand sanitizer, wipes,

any sort of a cable you could ever think of is in that pouch.

Then ibuprofen, Tums and sunscreen.

I don't have anything in the bottom row right now, but maybe we'll get there one day.

But yeah, that's my biggest tip.

Wow. Yeah. Amazing.

Yeah. See, the ones that the dudes in Beth used was more like a kitchenette,

a kitchenette. Yeah.

Like a place to put the bread, to put the garlic powder, to put the, you know,

because they cook and boy, do they cook well.

Cook what?

And so it was more like a pantry, you know, the paper towels, toilet paper.

Very, very, very helpful.

Yeah. That it's got just it's just it's almost like, you know,

I remember in Doc, you remember in Back to the Future,

Doc Brown's got money from every decade and he opens up the package

and he looks for $19.55. Here you go.

It's almost like, OK, what do I want to do? Have fun.

What do I need to do? Hang some stuff up.

What do I need to do? Draw some stuff? Yep. Yep.

That's really cool.

Each one of those things is great.

The binder clips. Perfect. Yeah.

I mean, a roll of duct tape, binder clips.

What else? A latherman.

You can run the world. Zip ties.

Yeah, you could fix it. You could run the world.

Yeah. And he's got it all.

Yeah. What stood out to me was the deck of playing cards.

I have never thought. Waterproof playing cards.

Waterproof playing cards. They're small.

You can pack them in a drawer and anywhere.

And yeah, you know, a game.

You're good to entertain.

Would have come in handy last year, come about Friday morning

when we were sitting around camp

going over state capitals.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seems like a little if only we had a game to play

when it was raining. Yeah.

You know what I'm talking about?

What's the capital of Alabama?

Huntsville? No.

Brian, like this would be a fun game if we had time.

I also like it's all preloaded and then it just kind of holds into the thing.

You pull it right out. There's nothing.

There's nothing to even prepare.

Once you get to the next level. Yeah.

Yeah, that's the difference between like, again, the Nashville dudes.

They probably have to, you know, week before

roll that thing out and see what's missing.

You know, we need we need new mustard.

We need new catch up. We need, you know, whatever.

But his stuff is evergreen.

I love it. You can leave it there for a year.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

We need to do that.

So I went through to again.

Thank you, Joel. What a what a cool submission.

I went through a bunch of these last night and quickly tried to make some

some highlights. So sorry for me looking down, reading my phone.

I always think that looks annoying, but it's the only way I got.

I had to start here at Sammest of Sam.

My first tip is to bring plenty of hot dogs.

My second tip is that you can probably sneak hot dogs into center.

If you have a big enough, if you have big enough pockets.

My last tip is to get there early for a better spot so you can run back to camp

for more pocket hot dogs.

Like that's I'm missing a joke somewhere or that's a hell of an idea or or something.

And then the final one is he sent the screenshot into our our inbox.

Here is my pocket or here's here's my pocket dog tip.

I hope I oh and then the stuff I just read.

I hope I win the bag because I could probably hide more hot dogs in it.

I don't I don't know where that I don't know where this comes from,

but it's pretty damn funny. Yeah.

I just want to know if it's true.

And I love hot dogs.

So unless they're, you know, in your pocket, I wouldn't mind having one.

But if they're in your pocket, I don't know that I want them anymore.

I don't know.

Maybe they're safer in the in the.

The lunchbox, you know, hydration pack we're giving away.

I don't know. But maybe he needs a hydration pack instead of letting him get them

out of his pocket. Yeah.

We got a bunch.

I don't know. Twelve, thirteen from Chris.

I won't give last names on here, but I like them because I can look at this email

and I can read pretty much all of them.

He broke them out individually.

Remember, the arch music is on repeat.

They only have ten songs.

That's going to bother you.

I love this one.

The church boners only look scary.

They're really fun to talk with.

Rick can be an intimidating guy.

Watch out for Rick.

Yeah.

Heart of gold.

But he might look like the dad, the dad that's going to, you know, if you get back too late,

he's going to be mad at you.

What's a head one about the bathroom?

Right.

The line on the right is for number two and the line on the left is for number one, I

think.

That's in my notes.

And I wondered, is that a fish?

Like, I don't want to talk bathroom talk ever and certainly not on this show for very

long.

It's kind of important.

We've already talked pocket hot dogs.

So, you know, yeah, I guess we better talk bathrooms next.

Yeah, I put a highlight on that at Murph 9639 for the men's restaurant.

For the men's restroom in center, who number two line is on the left.

Number one line is on the right.

Is that even sort of true?

I've been in there before.

It's not like they're designated any different than any other like industrial size, like

long like long hauled rest facilities.

Anyway, that's worth something worth something worth thinking about.

And if we could have some kind of organization like that, that would actually.

Be quite helpful.

I just I have a feeling he might have made that up or or wishes that were true.

Just wishes it. Yeah.

He also, you know, and this is this is one that a lot of these tips several people have

shared. For example, check on people.

If you see somebody that looks like they're struggling, help them out.

Absolutely.

Radiate positivity.

That comes up a lot.

Right.

Put your pillow.

This is one that we've sort of learned over the years.

Put your stuff, your pillows, your whatever in your car during the day.

Yeah, like your heavy blankets and stuff.

In case it rains.

Yeah, stuff like that.

All right. And just the humidity that it might get or like do do points and stuff.

I mean, if you got a good enough tent, you could probably get away with keeping that

real sealed up. But we all know how that goes.

You're in, you're out, you're in, you're out.

You forget to close it for half a day or for a couple of hours.

So that's a that's a solid one for sure.

Speaking of cooking things, though, from Abby Barrett, 7474.

Do not bring perishable to cook.

You cannot trust your cooler to stay cold enough or your cookware to be cleaned

enough and may end up with food poisoning in parenthetically.

Speaking from experience from a fellow group camper, apparently somebody maybe

had gotten sick from some potential foodborne stuff.

I think that that's it's possible to do it, to do perishable food and cooking.

I would never want to do it myself.

It's so much work.

I'm with you. I'm with Abby.

Yeah, it is so much work.

My first year, 2018, I brought all kinds of hamburgers and hot dogs and perishable

food that I thought I was going to cook because I come from it from, well, I'm

camping and usually when I camp, I bring food to cook.

Well, you know, the last thing you want to do after you walk back to the kitchen,

you know, the last thing you want to do after you walk back to camp from, you

know, seeing a show is get out the grill and start setting up your kitchen.

Not when there's food vendors literally everywhere you look.

I mean, you know, it's just so much easier to just go buy your food rather than try

to mess with pots and pans and dishes and clean up and all that.

And then, yeah, if you don't get to it, you've wasted, I wasted all kinds of

food that just sat in the cooler and got warm because the ice melted and had to

throw it out.

So yeah, don't bring anything perishable.

Yeah.

It gets wet and soggy.

It's, yeah, it's on the other hand, the dudes, they bring a full black stone.

I mean, grill and I was going right back there, but if you do it and do it right,

boy, we eat good sometimes.

Yeah.

And we're not in some kind of camping area that's got a bunch of amenities

that y'all don't have.

We are not.

We are baking, we are baking in the sun and we are having to fight for our lives

out there, just like you are.

We just happen, it's just proximity a little bit better, but as far as where

we're at, your camp is better than ours.

I promise you, Joel, your camp is better than ours and they do it.

So it's possible, but boy, you got to be dedicated.

And they are, I mean, they, they, they pre-do it.

He pre-mixes, right?

I mean, he, he figures out the whole week.

Yeah.

They have it all measured out and pre-mixed and all they do is...

What do we have?

Stir fry that one two years ago?

Stir fry was great.

The breakfast burritos.

Breakfast burrito.

Oh my God.

We're talking stir fry with like shrimp and steak and, and, and, and, you know,

fried rice and the whole deal on a walk.

This thing, this is incredible stuff.

So if, if you want to do it, you can, I would just, as we think we're all agreeing,

I just wouldn't suggest it unless that's something that you decide to take on as

your role for camp for the whole weekend.

Or just make friends with somebody who cooks.

Right.

The camping amenities where we are, it's just a field.

We're no different than anybody else.

The one thing is they're coming from Nashville.

We're coming from Chattanooga.

So they're not also driving 12 hours.

Good point.

You know, with all that stuff in a cooler.

So very good point.

If you've got a long drive, I would ax the idea completely.

There's plenty of food on the farm.

So yeah, don't, and you don't want charcoal, especially like right now.

I can't even imagine they wouldn't even allow you to burn anything right now.

We haven't had rain in forever.

Yeah.

I brought in 2003 is how long this goes back.

2003, my first full year of camping as a GA attendee, I brought a little charcoal

grill and the same deal, Russ.

I mean, I was like, well, I'm going camping.

I'll bring, I'll bring.

That's the logic, right?

Yeah.

A bunch of food and some char, I mean, you know what I'm doing?

Those like a coal, like a comb, not a common, what's the just black Weber,

like a big Weber, except for this big.

And I remember trying to cook like, I don't know, some paninis or something on it.

And I'm just dying over a fire on a Saturday.

And like, this is the worst idea that that grill stayed there.

So I learned my lesson that day on that one at Tiz Tiz year says, um, I know this

one's might sound like, well, yeah, no, duh, dude, but I've never thought about

it as much until I read this.

My, my tip would be, uh, for sleeping on a cot over a mattress or a sleeping bag.

I know people do that and that's not new, but I bet that really is probably

the best way to go.

I bought one, what, five years ago.

Best thing I ever did.

I love my cot.

Okay.

Yeah.

I think the cot, yeah, I had sleeping on that ground.

It doesn't matter how soft you, I mean, unless you're Brad Steiner

with a queen size bed.

Well, my first couple of years, so I bought the blow up mattress, it leaked

and it rained in 2007.

That's why I was convinced I was going to die.

If you remember, we had the thunderstorm overnight and I was laying there in a

puddle of rain thinking the lightning is going to kill me and there's nothing I

could do about it.

Uh, yeah, the cot, if you can afford it, if you, you know, if you're going to do

this more than once spring for the cot, uh, get a good one, uh, you'll appreciate

it.

You'll love it.

Uh, I've always jokingly said, especially for guys, but girls too, uh, you know, a

big, big mouth, uh, water jug.

So you don't have to get up and go to the porta potty at two in the morning.

You know, I mean, gotta have the big mouth.

I'm not there yet.

I have not quite gotten there yet either, but I, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be ashamed

to say that I had gotten there because boy waking up and having to slog, however far

over it is certainly is no, no fun.

Go ahead.

I don't know if you have the tip.

Somebody said, uh, along those lines, what do they call it?

A bed bag?

Uh, one of the tips somebody said was put together a bed bag of like with aspirin and

your place to put your glasses and your phone and whatever you might want for that

two o'clock, three o'clock is very important.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you know where it is?

Put it all together.

Kind of like the shoe tree.

Uh, but just nice, nice to have that next to you.

Yeah.

From Caitlin Hamlin, um, in a bunch of numbers and letters, one of the best tips I

have for Bonnaroo is to keep a bedside bag by wherever you're sleeping things.

I keep in mind, or ibuprofen earplugs, eye mask, makeup, face wipes, chapstick,

uh, it goes on for their contact solution.

Just anything you wouldn't want to have that you would want to be able to get too

quickly and it goes on from there.

Yeah.

Great idea.

Great idea.

Face wipes.

That's a great one.

That is a good one.

And earplugs.

Do you guys, I love your, I sleep like a baby with the foam ear thing.

Oh my gosh.

I can't, can't imagine not doing it.

I, it is a wonder.

I am not completely deaf.

I do not wear earplugs anywhere ever.

Not at shows, not when I'm right in front of the speaker, not when I'm a

hundred miles from the speaker.

I never wear earplugs because it's something with this it's in my ears and it drives me nuts.

I can't, I can't not feel it.

I can't help my, my hearing's too muffled.

It throws me off.

I don't ever wear earplugs, but I'm, I'm foolish and foolish for that.

I have the only time I ever do is sleeping at Bonnaroo room.

Now I could see how that could help.

I just don't have trouble sleeping.

I actually sleep well in.

Yeah.

It's the best.

I, that's the best sleep I have is at Bonnaroo.

I sleep well.

It could only be three hours, but I sleep like a rock.

I do too.

I sleep well with lots of white and not so white noise, like a lot of very, um,

loud air, it trains, you know, oh, I live by a train.

Oh, I train going.

Oh boy.

I'd be gone.

Um, those, we used to have people in our camp, nut butter when we were, it's still

a little primitive and, and, um, having a generator wasn't necessarily, you know,

something everybody did.

And then we started to have them and we had a couple of complaints like,

Oh, I don't know.

I don't want that.

I was like, yeah, enough.

I like pipe down.

We're going to have a generator because of all the, and guess who uses the

generator, the person complaining about it.

I've never done it, but the, the mask for light, some people, uh, cause we have

learned, I think we've learned finally to pay attention as to where the light is.

They, the, uh, I don't know what you call it.

Like the big spot.

Yeah.

Spotlight ish kind of things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like the big construction lighting on a generator.

They've, there's usually one out there right in front of our camp.

The face mask.

And where the sun comes up.

That's what we've learned.

We don't, we've messed up.

Nowhere.

Yeah.

Cause at five 30, six o'clock in the morning, hit your, hit your tent.

But, uh, the mask I've never done it, but the face mask for me is the same as the ears.

It's too, it's on my face.

It's, it's bothering me.

Right.

Like I can't, I don't want stuff on me when I'm trying to sleep.

I'm sure it helps.

I, cause I, I'm sure it helps, but I can't get over the fact trying to fall asleep

that there's something on my face.

Why?

Get this off my face.

Yeah.

But I'm sure it's a huge help.

Um, one here I never heard of before, um, from Colleen, uh, dash 01.

Uh, our festival tip would be to soak your feet with the cold water from the cooler.

Um, throughout the weekend off and on to bring a spare bucket to pour the water

into to help your feet for, for all the walking you're going to do.

Heat, hot and cold help, help those kinds of things.

Never really heard of it like that.

Exactly.

Anything you can do to take care of your feet.

Uh, that's big.

Yeah.

My, my, that was an early lesson.

Uh, I didn't bring good shoes.

I brought cheap shoes thinking they were going to get destroyed.

And after about the second or third year, I'm like, no, I'm bringing good shoes

and I'm going to be comfortable and they're going to be broken in.

And if, if they get destroyed, I'll buy new ones, but I'm bringing good shoes.

Yeah.

I would have had that same thought barriers.

Like, well, I'm going to ruin them anyway.

So why spend?

No.

Well, you found out why.

Why you find out why.

Yeah.

I just ordered a new set of sandals that, uh, I will have and get broken

in well before Bonnarooo.

So yeah, take a start, start looking at that now.

You're going to be water walking.

At Kelsey 23 talks about, um, it's speaking to the same kind of thing,

boots, shoes, how to take care of your feet.

Uh, but one, just kind of a quick mention here that most people know this, but it's

worth repeating, um, some kind of baby powder or some kind of gold bond or some,

some kind of those products.

You know, you don't use those, those products because you don't do a lot

of activities like I would have 15 years ago and be like, what, what is this?

What am I?

I don't need this.

What do you get?

Get this out of here.

It will save your life.

And even if you don't need it is preventative.

Yeah.

And it's very comfortable.

So, so, so I, I just say go, I think Gold Bond is the champion of the world in this

space, get yourself some Gold Bond.

Any, anything they sell, get yourself Gold Bond.

It'll save your life.

Go buy Walmart, go do the, uh, $2 aisle, whatever the, I don't even know what it is.

They've got a little miniature.

You can get your shampoo, your toothpaste, your aspirin, your gold

bond, the travel aisle.

Yep.

That's exactly what going back to the, the bedside, uh, bag.

That's the place to do it.

You come out of there, 20 bucks, everything you need.

You know, uh, I do that every year.

I've been for a good while.

So, and obviously the tip that I've said since we've started this show, uh, I

don't like ice in the cooler.

I get a case of water and freeze them.

I hate, I hate getting the plastic water bottles, but I don't know the way around it yet.

But, uh, freeze them and fill your cooler up with that.

Uh, one of the tips and Russ, you said this what last year or the year before

pre-chill your cooler.

I never heard of that.

That's one of the best cooler tips you can do.

Yeah.

Um, the night before it, get a bag of ice that you're just going to throw in there.

Sacrificial ice.

You're going to throw it in and shut the lid 24 hours before you even

think of filling it.

That brings the temperature down that way when you fill it in with stuff and also

pre-chill your drinks and your food.

Don't put in warm stuff in a cold cooler.

It's just going to melt the ice quicker.

Pre-chill everything, put it in the fridge beforehand and then load it all cold.

Yeah.

That's going to keep your ice lasting longer.

Such a simple, simple hack.

And I, until just a handful of years ago, I, I didn't, I, the, the freezing, the

water bottles, we all stumbled on that a long time ago, but as far as like, you

know, sometimes, oh, I've got a six pack of cokes or it's just something that I'm

not going to have a lot of just like three or four or five of, and I'm not going

to have all this stuff in the fridge.

And I would just toss it in there.

And then I was like, you know,

Yeah, it just raises the temperature.

It just melts the ice.

It's going to melt the ice faster.

Like how, I felt like, how did I not just even just stumble on that idea without

being told that I need to do that?

Back to the bedside bag.

I keep, I don't know about you guys, but I keep just a grocery bag with the roll

of toilet paper and some wipes and maybe whatever else.

And I take that with me to the, to the porta potties, cause you never know.

You know, it might be clean.

There might be toilet paper there.

There might not be, but it's just simple to carry that with you.

Just good planning.

Yeah.

So we were talking about waterproof playing cards earlier.

At Lucy Young says, my best festival tip is to bring a waterproof blanket for

center.

Yeah, that's a good one.

A waterproof blanket.

Yeah.

It's double.

I, I remember my friend had one years and years ago and I thought that's genius.

It's, it's like a felt, I guess it's felt on one side, the side you sit on.

And then the other is just like a tarp and I, it makes perfect sense, but

especially for late night, you know, when the dew hits the ground or whatever,

or if it's rained or something like that.

So that's a good one.

Yeah.

While I'm on that same page, the Casanova, my best Roo tip is, and this was just

kind of, all of us kind of mostly think about this, but my best, best tip is to

let go and try not to plan everything.

Things happen as, as we have seen in the last few Roo's just stay positive.

So just a simple kind of encouraging kind of post there.

Thank you for that.

A lot of the same ones drink, you know, the water and drinking, you stay

hydrating, a lot of things we all already know, but again, a lot of these things are

totally worth repeating, so thank you for sending them.

Get to know your neighbors.

Yeah.

Plenty of those.

Get to know your neighbors, be a good neighbor, do, you know, go out of your

way just for the sake of it, just to kind of like establish that relationship.

So somebody immediately knows they're, they can be in a trustworthy situation.

We didn't see this often, but we did see it clean your camp.

Don't, don't just leave stuff piled up.

They, Bonnaroo does a great job of providing recycling bins and garbage bags.

They have the clean crew that come around.

Uh, pick up after yourself guys.

Don't, uh, yeah, that's always a good tip.

That's always a good tip in life.

Yep.

Just a good tip in life.

Don't just do that at Bonnaroo.

Yeah.

Do it for clean up everything.

Yes.

Lob's.

Yeah.

Leave it better than you found it.

There it is.

Uh, you know, another simple one at Katherine Lewis, 2434, uh, Bonnaroo

pro tip, survive the day to thrive at night.

Take care of yourself in the heat so you can have fun at night.

Um, simple and, uh, kind of goes back a long ways, but, uh, still very good,

real advice and try to get some sleep.

I know those sunset shows sure seem fun and I'm sure they are.

Try to get some sleep.

You're going to really feel better if you do eat, drink, take care of your body.

Take care of your feet.

Obviously we've mentioned that.

Yeah.

Just a tip for me as far as packing food.

Like, I mean, I just, I just eat like a hamster.

I mean, I just, just seeds and peanuts and, uh, that's the way to do it.

Yeah.

Graves throughout the day.

Yeah.

Anytime you're sitting at camp, just have, you know, trail mix or peanuts or.

Granola.

If you're brave enough, bring an apple or two, but, uh, that really makes me, I

feel good if I have some cheat, like a string cheese, a VA string cheese, VA

granola and, and some little ham bites or something and, or, or beef jerky.

And I just felt like I had a four course meal and I'm ready to go and I'm full of

energy, full of energy.

I still go, man.

I have animal crackers and peanut butter.

That's all.

Yeah.

Just nibble, nibble, nibble.

I mean, it's easy.

You eat as much as you want and then you put it away.

And Kelly's, uh, famous pimento cheese.

Pimento cheese.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We do bring pimento cheese and Russ picks up a little something,

something from, uh, North Alabama.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've got that in the works.

We'll leave it at that.

You know?

Um, I can't see this one.

I actually scratched the name as far as Blake something.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I couldn't give you full attribution, but, uh, the, the, the explosion kind of,

it's been happening for years now, but the disposable camera, uh, as, as a trendy

option, not just sort of necessarily to get a picture you, you know, just to have

a novelty act, I think best tip for boners is to bring a disposable camera to, to

capture moments on the farm.

And it goes on to explain it a little bit further than that, but, um, great idea.

Uh, you can have a lot of fun.

It is.

And you'll love the pictures when you remember to develop them six years later.

I was going to say that's gotta be the most fun part, but when do you get it done?

Also, you got to ship those things off these days.

Yeah.

You know, you don't go to a Walgreens and then come back and, you know, an hour or

two or even the next day, they take it and ship it and then charge you 10 times

more than you've ever paid to have a roll of film developed, but it's worth it.

I still suggest you do it.

Bring something to share, uh, particularly something that's, uh, generic to where you

live, uh, or make something.

We did nothing.

Neither of the three of us are going to make bracelets or anything like that, but

we bring stickers for the beer exchange.

We try to bring local beer, uh, coffee.

I assume Brian, if you're going to do local coffee, right?

You're bringing something.

Oh, absolutely.

Probably bring some Velo or Vivo, Velo, Velo, Velo or, um, mean mug

or something like that.

Some local stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's fun.

That's cause then you, you know, you might be camping next to somebody from

Washington state, uh, or Montana or someplace you're never ever going to go to.

And so that person might turn into your girlfriend.

You might turn into your girlfriend.

Yeah.

Bring some coffee.

Damn it.

Uh, this one might be the last one I have here as I've run through most of them.

Um, at JD fish chaser, Brian, I hear you on the change and stage movement.

I went to Halloween to, this is a, but though, uh, two stages in the same field

seemed like a bad idea, but then I watched a show and did a 180 degree turn.

And there's another show starting.

It was awesome.

Yeah.

So this is referencing what and that.

And so thank you, uh, JD Fisher.

We'll see.

I'm skeptical, but I appreciate the, um, the, the, the example of where you believe

that this worked and we'll see it might just work at Bonnarooo as well.

Our moon river was that way.

Shaking knees in Atlanta was that way.

I like it very much.

Um, yeah, but in this one, we got a little legacy with how we do things around here,

you know, as far as moving that stage around and all that, all that.

But, um, I appreciate the, the example of, of, of, of it working out.

And you're right.

Shaking knees, um, music midtown before it went defunct in Atlanta in Piedmont

park did the, the, the dueling main stage side by side.

And it was an excellent experience.

Like you just, you didn't have to move and you could just find the best spot

and you had food fighters one year.

And there was no delays.

There was no standing for three hours waiting for something to start

that you really want to see.

So I just, uh, I hope it works.

I'm not rooting against it.

Maybe I am a little bit, but I mean, we'll see.

Uh, what else?

Any other Russ, any other tips that you had written down that we haven't.

Man, there's so many of them.

You guys flooded us and we appreciate it so much.

You know, a lot of the typical sunscreen don't, you know, not just have it, but

not forget to be reapplying actually use it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And use it regularly.

You'll sweat right through it.

I know this stuff is really, uh, you know, designed well these days designed to be at

the beach and sweating through it.

Still, you're going to be rubbing yours, you know, you're going to be

tallying off, you're going to be wiping it out of the car.

Yeah.

Yeah.

My tip for sunscreen, uh, is, uh, check the date.

It has an expiration date.

Um, it's not as effective after it expires.

If you have the same bottle that from last year and your shoe bag and your

shoe, yeah, and your shoe bag, chances are you need to throw it away and get a fresh

one, so just make sure your sunscreen isn't old.

Huh?

Never thought about that.

That it, that it has an expiration date.

I've never heard about that.

Um, yeah, put that on, uh, if you, especially if you go to the fountain

and you get in and it'll wash off, uh, make sure to hit, hit that, uh, hit the

sunscreen, get a good hat, good shoes.

Yeah.

Plenty of, plenty of shoes, um, options and different, and different stories

as to how people do it.

So, um, there, there are so many different ways to take care of your feet.

And every time we do this, I'll have to reference the fish song lyric, whatever

you do, take care of your shoes.

Um, cause yeah, if you can't walk around, you're, you're done for.

You're, you're, you're done.

Um, your weekend's ruined.

Uh, I've had a couple of tips, uh, change your socks, change your shoes, especially

change your socks a couple of times a day.

A good pair of socks are an amazing thing.

You know, Barry, I'm glad you said that.

And I'm not suggesting people go out and make sure and spend large amount of money

on socks because I've always thought for the longest time, why are y'all like smart

wool and the Moreno wool and all these things?

I'm like, why would anybody do this?

This is insane.

These are not that good.

No, they are that good.

They are that good.

They really are.

They're fabulous.

A $15 pair of socks is worth $15.

Now I can't stop buying.

Like I am obsessed with Moreno wool socks and I've, I'm 46 years old.

And for 40 years of my life, I thought of cotton socks.

That's, that's just what you wear.

Yeah.

You buy, cotton socks are the worst.

They're the worst.

You get a hundred for a dollar or somewhere, you know, what a great deal.

Brian was the poster child for the knee high socks with the stripes.

I didn't even think about that.

You're right.

I mean, I was already, I've been a big sock guy, but more of an aesthetic, not as a

utility, utilitarian kind of thing.

And now I'm, I'm a big fan.

I think I bought them at, what?

It wasn't REI, whatever we have here.

The, the Rock Creek.

I remember kind of as a joke, buying $15 socks for my kids for stocking

stuffers one Christmas.

And they were like, Oh my God, these are amazing.

Thank you.

Wow.

Yeah.

So it's become a thing.

I mean, you can play just a quick example.

I mean, I know a lot of people are like, no, bleep dude, where you been?

But I mean, my foot submerged completely into a creek just the other week.

And, and all I had to do is just take it off, squeeze it out, shake it around.

It's dry as almost completely dry.

Like these are amazing, um, uh, fabric, the Moreno wool.

And then you hear wool and you think, Oh, hot, Oh, winter.

Or at least I did.

No, no, no, no, no.

This is, this is good stuff.

So if you're ever going to spend a little extra money on socks, grab a few

pair for this, because you'll be happy that you did.

Guys, we will, uh, we will be reaching out by the time you

hear this, we will have contacted our winners, uh, again.

Um, thank you for all these tips and submissions.

Amazing.

Please hit, uh, like and share and all that.

Thank you guys for subscribing.

2,500.

Amazing.

So, yeah, we really did.

I mean, I, I expected some to come in, but a handful of these were really well done.

And you guys, I mean, most of you really already know what you're doing anyway,

but there's always something you're going to forget.

Always something you're going to forget or overlook or think, Oh, that's no big deal.

I, you know, because after a while you can only care about so many things.

So I think this is a really good resource.

And you know, the hot dog guy, man, that I love it.

Give it up for the hot dog.

I honestly can't figure out if you're telling a joke or not.

I think that's the best joke.

I can't tell if it is one.

Yeah.

Very, uh, Andy Kaufman.

Yeah.

When he comes, when he comes up to you on Thursday at the panel and

hand you a hot dog, we'll know.

I can't wait.

I don't, I don't need any condiments on.

I'm a plain old dog on a bun.

I'm good.

I'm good.

All right, guys.

Thank you so much.

We will be back.

Uh, we're getting ready.

We only have about a month.

I mean, we only have about a month left, so we're barely done.
