The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Newly acquainted bros with nothing better to do after work so we decide to try this podcast stuff. We'll be having daily discussions about various topics from current events to whatever is on our minds. Let's get real and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
We Don’t Know What We’re Doing, But We’ll Tell You How To Do It Anyway
Fresh snow at 3 a.m. and the quiet crunch underfoot set the mood for a wide-open creative path: nobody’s walked it yet, so we might as well. We open with that scene because starting a podcast feels the same—untouched, a little intimidating, and oddly peaceful once you take the first step. From there, we get practical and transparent about the early choices that matter: naming the show, building cover art that actually pops, and learning our way around mic positioning, voice control, and a steady intro cadence that welcomes listeners without fluff.
We talk honestly about discouragement, because the early numbers can sting. DIY means slower growth, more trial and error, and a longer runway before momentum hits. The fix isn’t magic; it’s routine. Read more, watch smarter, pull topics from news and niche channels, then mix in levity so the feed doesn’t feel like homework. One of us leans goofy, the other goes news-heavy, and that contrast keeps the energy balanced. We also press into culture talk—how audiences react to big artists and language, what “global” really means for entertainment, and why some folks always find something to argue about.
Real life keeps sneaking into the studio in the best ways. We map out hunting goals and an ice fishing hut fantasy purely for the story value, swap heating hacks for drafty apartments, and laugh at the small pains of city life. Then we set our sights on video: filming local food challenges as our first on-camera experiments, using those moments to drive clips, search visibility, and community. To support deeper content, we tease a Patreon with raw bonus episodes and guest cameos, plus some original music drops to add seasonal flavor.
If you’re building your own show, steal this playbook: pick a name you can grow into, ship simple cover art fast, practice mic distance and tone, and show up on schedule until it feels natural. Curate two timely ideas and one personal story per recording, and don’t fake polish—share progress. Subscribe, drop a rating, and tell us what segment you want filmed first. Your feedback helps shape our next move.
Everybody's just doing it walking around like NPCs. We're not taking the same round. We don't see each other. Oh nobody wants to talk to each other. Everybody's like just like no dude. Like no dude. You're fucking built. That's just dope. If you look, if you look, it's fucking dude like this. I understand. You know what I mean? And I understand that like it's still like they're still instead of certain things, like it is really snowy early. Exactly, bro. Like like just you know what's the beautiful thing, bro, when you wake up in a winter morning and it's early and it's like one of those nights where nobody really works, yeah, and the and you just see the snow, but the streets are still like covered in snow, like nobody's really stepped on them yet. Or like you just go out there and you build a snowman. Whatever happens now.
Mac G:I mean, I don't know. I catch them all the time myself. I mean, I I even uh I specifically like working, used to like working, I still like working graveyard shifts, but I haven't worked them in a while. But I would work graveyard shifts in Colorado, and then we'll get out like at 3 o'clock in the morning, and I would get off the because it was like kind of outside, like I don't know, 15 miles outside of the city after taking the bus, but then it would be like a 30-40 minute walk. A walk? A 30-40 minute walk home from the bus stop. You would walk it? Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, I had muck boots on, and I had, you know, winter clothes, because you're I'm when you're in Colorado, you're prepared. And so, anyways, like it would snow, it would be blizzard all night, like around start like around 10. Get off at 3, it'd be like about uh four inches of snow, and it'd just be all untouched. Just blankets of untouched snow everywhere. Beautiful thing. One of the best things. No cars anywhere. It's not like here where like people are outside one way or the other. I'm talking like untouched uh uh streets in the middle of the neighborhoods, no uh tire marks, no nothing. Just blankets of smooth, smooth snow. You know what's funny? Beautiful stuff, quiet, serene. Nice.
Shooter:You know what's funny when you're by yourself, especially and you just hear that crunchy noise when you're stepping on the snow. Oh, yeah. Dude, that thing sounds like the loudest. I feel like I'm waking up the whole neighborhood. I hear this cringe. It certainly does. Yep. And it's just you. Mm-hmm.
Mac G:Yep.
Shooter:You know, and um, I do want to bring up the fact that we did kind of just uh upgrade on some of these uh uh platforms. Did you? Yeah, for uh for the pods, because we might be bringing a new thumbnail.
Mac G:Yeah, we're gonna be doing that here pretty soon. We're gonna be doing a few things actually since the beginning of the show. We're trying to uh make it about uh the start of this podcast, we're trying to make it all about starting a podcast. We are thinking about changing the name, but I think I'm pretty used to the shakedown. Like I said, I think if we stick to our whatever DJ names you want yours to be, I'm still I I like mine. As long as we do do that, that'll uh distinguish us from the other shakedowns for sure. Uh that's another thing is is picking the name. Sometimes it's best to do your research, but go ahead.
Shooter:No, I like the shakedown, I'm not gonna lie.
Mac G:Yeah, I do too. And like I said, as long as we put like with you and MACD, because you you shoot it right now, but I don't know. I don't know if you want to change that. And that's a good example, too, is you know, always do do your research, plan a little bit ahead of time. And like I said, the best thing about starting a podcast is that you can always change, completely change stuff and all that. It's uh change the name, change the appearance, change the what the podcast is about at any given point. Because if you don't know what you're doing to begin with, you're definitely gonna run into a whole bunch of trial and error. And but eventually you will end up finding I'm good right now. Eventually you will end up finding your own um uh I guess routine. And things will get easier after it's all about repetition, really.
Shooter:I just want to ask you, what are three top things you would give to someone coming up, like technical, like the three top things that we've run into so far? That's that's kind of like technical difficulties or like finding a name, or like I don't think finding the thumbnail was really an issue. That was going to be a good idea.
Mac G:The bus brought definitely helps you with uh connecting you with Canva. I uh the higher up in the tier and subscription you are, the the easier it makes it for you to make a a better thumbnail. So for me, cover art for your podcast.
Shooter:You have experience in radio, you have experience with music, you have experience with a lot of things.
Mac G:I think for me personally, my one thing was getting in front of the mic. Yeah, for definitely for you. But you know, I give you a few pointers and whatnot about uh when you first hit the mic, because I know it is kind of nerve-wracking. It even was for me starting this thing off. And that's I mean, but honestly, you came at it like in a good set of mind, good vibes. It it took it didn't really even take you that long to find uh to find your footing and everything else. So I have to give you props for that. So other than that, you know, like it's like I told you, you know, positioning your mic, you know, that's that's definitely something you want to work on. Positioning your mic, making sure you you keep a certain volume to your to your voice, and also trying to just talk to the mic as as much as possible, and then just finding a comfortable position, and obviously you're gonna have to shift every once in a while and all that. But aside from that, you know, I did also give you some pointers on how to start off the the beginning of the show. You always want, you know, we always every show has its way of introducing the show. Some people like to let it let it run a little bit live and then be like, hey, this is the show. That's kind of what we're doing right now. Hopefully, you guys like that. It's something I've been working on still. And eventually maybe we might have some more sound effects. I know we are planning on getting a co-host on here at some point. And hopefully a new host. Yeah. And we and you know, we we we keep repeating these things in almost every uh show, but it's just to let you guys know that this is a hopefully those that are interested in starting a podcast, this is the slacker version of that. This is the DIY version of all that. Here at 8A Studios, it's all DIY, and I do live above bar, so it's a lot of it's a biker enthusiastic bar uh bar.
Shooter:So the other thing I do want to talk about discouragement, discouragement. Or like, I remember I don't want to go into much into details. No, no, go ahead. One time I did come in here and say, hey, this doesn't work, I'm out. But you know, I was kind of I'm not gonna lie. But did I just want to talk about to people out there who who feel like it sometimes they feel like what if it doesn't work? What if I'm just wasting my time?
Mac G:Well, honestly, that's the first thing you want just like I told you when we first started this, like the first thing you need to realize that if you're not doing this for the curiosity of learning something to start off and knowing that you it might take you a while before you get any downloads and stuff, it's gonna take time. You not not everything, you know. Yeah, you get your very few amount of people that manage to like get a lot of hits after one or two videos or whatever, like that. And you know, that's that's awesome. But most people, the reality is most people that there's millions of millions of podcasts, well thousands of podcasts out there. A lot of them are just barely starting off, some of them are just barely ending after just barely starting. But because you get the scourged, and uh that's understandable. You just have to know and understand that especially if you're starting this thing DIY, you can't be expecting a lot. Especially us, because we don't have any sort of so web presence either. I I know I certainly don't. I know you don't. I know our co-host, I'm calling your home slice. We'll see if that's what she wants to go by when she starts. Uh when she comes on here, here in the next uh week or so. I just gotta figure out some technical stuff. But I know she has a pretty good web presence and has a lot of friends and followers and all that stuff, so maybe she can help us in that end of this whole thing. Yeah, definitely. So definitely, you know, I did have one more, bro. I had one more. Uh one more what? Question?
Shooter:It was about the podcast, dude. I had it on the tip of my brain. And is it about content? No, you know, we could talk about content till I find it again, but it was just one important thing that I but yeah, as far as content, you know, because I know a lot of people are probably coming to the table and thinking the easiest part I think of a podcast is sitting here and just talking about content. Yeah, yeah. That sounds like the easiest part to me.
Mac G:Well, I mean finding content is different depending on what the show is. I mean, it really it's it's about interests, finding your interests, really. Right now, we talk whatever stuff we do talk about, aside from starting the the if it's not about starting the podcast, it's hopefully giving you an idea and giving you examples and to segues into starting a podcast. Because finding things to talk about are definitely it's the hard honestly, if you're pretty tech savvy and you're you have you have the gusto for this and and figuring this stuff out, you're gonna really find out that for me because that's where I'm stuck at is just I find myself reading the news a lot. Excuse me. Reading the news a lot. I find myself uh watching YouTube videos a lot of certain subjects and if it's something that really interests me, I will watch as much as I can of it so I can have something to talk about when we get on here.
Shooter:Alright.
Mac G:But it's all about the news, really, because that's what most people are interested in is current events. So what about you? How do you find that to be on your end with the content?
Shooter:You know, I like goofy content, I like bringing something funny. I don't always want to be serious here because the news does bring a lot of seriousness, and and and it is serious business, and it is something that we should talk about here. And at the same time, I do like to bring, you know, laughs and you I I like to keep it loose here.
Mac G:Yeah, well, I mean it is the shakedown, right?
Shooter:Right, you know, so I don't want people to tune in and be like, damn, they're always serious. Yeah, not the tight. Yeah, no, but it is it is an occurring thing in our world, and it is something that we're that we should all that we should just touch on, you know. Right, right.
Mac G:And then that's that's the beauty about this podcast, is you know, it's we're really not uh serious guys. I mean, we try to stay informed, but we're not the brightest of dudes. At least I'm not. I'm I don't know about my homeboy here. I don't want to speak for him.
Shooter:No, you know, you know I I try my best. That's that's what I can say.
Mac G:Exactly. That and that's all I'm saying is like more than anything, take what we say with a grain of salt. I mean, we're not trying to teach you. About you just our point of views on some of the topics that people like to bitch and complain about, like the bad bunny situation with Saturday night. I didn't even watch any of that, but what happened with Bad Bunny? I guess people were complaining that he was oh they're complaining that about him doing the he's gonna do the halftime show for Super Bowl? Yeah. What's wrong with that? I don't think anything, but apparently people are complaining.
Shooter:You know, I noticed that uh people will find anything to complain about.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Shooter:Yeah, yeah. Just people, I just feel like some people wake up and just want to argue about anything. You could that you could tell them, hey, this is a potato, it's been a potato since since you know, since we've been alive, and they'll be like, no, that's not a potato. They'll just want to argue with you. They'll be like, well, technically, it's like bro, you know what I mean?
Mac G:No, yeah, I understand. You know, believe me, I've known plenty of people like that. And no, too, yeah, I yeah, believe me. I I don't understand it either, but it is what it is. I think it's because he's Hispanic and his lyrics are in Spanish, really. Most of his lyrics. Actually, I think all of his lyrics are in Spanish, aren't they? Does he have any English? Yeah, he's got some English ones, probably, but like they're makes a little bit of English, a little bit of Spanish. Right, exactly. It's just I think what they're trying to do. That's the biggest thing is the whole speak English. America, America. That that sort of shit.
Shooter:I think the thing is they don't NFL probably thought, you know what? We can make more money if we put somebody on there who's who's who's worldwide. Somebody, most of these people, dude, Michael Jackson was worldwide, but when you put someone up there who's Spanish speaking, they probably bring a little bit more money because oh, it's bad bunny.
Mac G:So now a couple of it's really just about who's big, right? Who's big, really, right? I mean, isn't that why they had Kendrick on there? Yeah, I don't know.
Shooter:I don't really listen up bad to the to the dude. You know, I don't really I really don't either. So I don't know. Maybe he is popular, maybe he is number Isn't that like reggaeton or something? Yeah, he's like like reggaeton kinda, I guess.
Mac G:Yeah, it's not much though. Is that your last one or is that my last one? You sure?
Shooter:Yeah, I got my three in. So we got over the whole if you're not if you're if you're not used to being on the mic, that's gonna be a thing that you're gonna have it come. If you're if you're having doubts, we talked about doubts. And there was another thing I wanted to touch up on.
Mac G:And it's basically just loosen up and have fun on that last question. No, no, that's the thing. The flow of the show.
Shooter:Are you gonna do it by yourself?
Mac G:Are you gonna do it with it? Exactly. That's like I said, that's all about that all goes goes in with the planning, you know. You don't just like what do we do? We talked about the show for for like what a week or so before we even, you know. Oh well no, I guess we got we got the the pad right first, and then the podcast pad, and then we kind of like two days before we did our first episode, we're like, all right, so what are we gonna call it? And blah blah blah blah blah. We talked about it for a second. It's the most professional I've ever been in my whole life, bro. We almost started doing Zoom Zoom calls on each other and stuff, bro. I dude fucking have a Zoom meeting here, bro. Face to face, bro. You know, it feels and it feels I started feeling like a proper white person, bro. No, it just it feels good to have something at their work to come to like to kind of like work on your own. Had you busting out your own little notepad, bro. Yeah, dog. You know, have a notepad. Like, damn, my boy's taking that shit serious.
Shooter:I mean it's it's fun, dude, and the way I see it, it is fun, but we're only going dude.
Mac G:And we're only going up from here.
Shooter:That's what it seems like to me. Nowhere but nowhere from here but up, man. You know, and and I'm gonna I'm I'm in no rush. I I like I said, I want to put up, I want to put out good quality for our people.
Mac G:Yeah, eventually we'll get there to get better quality. Eventually we'll get to video too. You know, that's that's the whole thing about this. That's where this is like I figured if we we don't know what we're doing, we might as well tell the people, hey bro, just check it out. We don't know what the fuck we're doing, but we're gonna tell you about we're gonna tell you about it. We'll tell you about some stuff. Let me tell you about some shit we don't know. We don't know how to do it. Exactly. But no, let's tell you about some shit that how to do some shit we don't know how to do ourselves.
Shooter:And I and I want to take the time to to uh to thank every one of our people out there that listening into it.
Mac G:Yeah, shout out to to all you guys, you know. Shout out to the the goon squad out there that's uh listening to us all. We appreciate you.
Shooter:On the way here, dude.
Mac G:Goons and goonets alike.
Shooter:Everybody, right? We we like I said, it's uh it's for everybody here. I understand. I understand what people think about podcasts. They think, oh, it's a guy thing. I'm pretty sure it is.
Mac G:It usually is, and it usually is, right? I mean, it's like if you want to usually it's just women doing crime podcasts, two crime podcasts. I mean, that's what I've noticed really.
Shooter:I'll listen to those. I'll listen to those.
Mac G:I mean, and that's not true, but my mainly when I most of the podcasts, not that I listen to a lot, but I mean, sometimes they'll have a female host on there, or some of them do have like a female co-host, but it's usually like two dudes and a female co-host. Yeah, I hear you. About the only one actually that that I had that I've seen that isn't all dudes, it's a harp, harp lady. Who uh I think her name is Harp Lady. Uh I don't think she's uh she sorry she I had talk about uh today too after I had my haircut, but um she reviews pedal boards because she's uh she plays harp. She's a classically trained harp harpist. And very cool. I like her I like her reviews because I'm starting to get into the whole techie side of everything and I'm actually thinking about I mean I got plugins on on this thing, but it my son getting into my youngest getting into the uh guitar too before college and getting very technical with it. Uh like doesn't even know anything about the guitar, but already he wants he wants the pedals and he wants all that stuff. So uh he kinda pushed me to kind of get a little bit more interested in that part of it because I've never been in the technical side of all that.
Shooter:Well, you know, when this world started, somebody I always think about how like things started, right? Somebody probably had an idea. They didn't know what they were doing. They just said, you know what, let me just keep working on it till it till it till I perfect it. And even then, there's always something new to learn. Benjamin Franklin, bro.
Mac G:That's why it's like not there fluids. What's gonna happen if I tie a key to this bitch? You know what I mean? What happens if I uh if I fly this thing out in the middle of a storm and uh tie a key to it? It's funny how the brain works, huh?
Shooter:Funny how you humans work, how life works, how we come so far. Now you know, back then, dude, you had so you had to hunt for your food. Now you could just go take a drive, go take a walk to your local grocery store.
Mac G:I would really I I still I mean I'm I'm just trying to get that too old, but I would really at some point in the next five years, I definitely want to get my gun license, but I definitely want to be able to go out there and hunt at least once before I get too old.
Shooter:Like real animals?
Mac G:Yeah, I dude.
Shooter:Oh, I can't.
Mac G:I want to get uh I have a list, and not like predators or anything. Definitely uh edibles. Oh, you mean like to eat keep and eat? Yeah. Oh, okay, that's different. Yeah, see elk, deer for sure. It's a turkey. I wanna I wanna catch. I want a bow. I want a bow. And this is all with bow. I don't want to go, I don't want to go out there. I know I want to get my gun license. I want to have a gun for protection. I want to have a license because I'm an American, I want to have the proper protection, the proper uh uh uh paperwork for all that stuff, be legal. And you know what I'm saying? So I do want to go out there and kill with a bow, though. Oh, a bow and arrow. I'd kill hunt and kill with a bow. A bow and arrow. A bow and arrow, yeah. Not a firearm. Eventually, maybe a couple of, but like I I would I think I I want to progress myself up. So this this is just my opinion, right? If possible, even one of those, what do they call those? Uh uh? Have you heard of those? You never heard of an a lot? It's it's weird. It's like a a stick with another stick. It's coming, it's kind of like a like a lacrosse. But it's like it's weird because it's like a a stick that has a hook that kind of has like a like another kind of like bow, like a hooked. Almost looks like a boomerang.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mac G:You just swing it and it throws the thing and just and just hits something in the head, and it's like made of like strong wood, and it hits you in the head and you're just cracks your skull, boom. That's uh that's the first sort of thing.
Shooter:You're talking about you're talking about oh okay, never mind. I'm talking about it.
Mac G:Uh a lot. A T L A T L. A T L Yeah, A T L A T L. It looks like a spear, but it's not here's my thing. You can even make it point a hook like a like a bow and arrow. You can make it like pointy, the stick pointy like an arrow. That thing looks like some ancient times though. No, that's what I'm saying. That's the early forms of uh the fire firearms. Besides, besides uh slingshots? Slingshots, yeah. Here's my thing.
Shooter:I I don't I don't agree with killing animals just to kill animals for a fun.
Mac G:No, but to eat, yeah.
Shooter:To eat's different, right?
Mac G:Yeah, no, I know how to fish now. I mean I I spent at least three to four years, three to four summers. I want to go ice fishing. Ice fishing? I don't know if that's something you'd be interested in, but that'd be cool. We can go up to Minnesota. Because there's beer. But the best part is that it's a we get a hut. It's a hut, dude. Minnesota? Yeah, dude. It's a hut. You never seen ice fishing? I see an ice fishing. You just sit on the ice and you fish. No, sir. That's that's like Eskimo style stuff. That's the Inuit style. Like uh ice fishing, ice fishing, bro.
unknown:I see.
Mac G:Like it's like lamp fishing, bro. You go out in the middle of a lake, it the lake is is thick enough. Some people you can even on some lakes, like that's what I'm saying. Out in Minnesota, it gets cold enough in the wintertime. You go out there in the middle, you can drive out into the ice, right? Onto these lakes on the ice because it gets cold enough. And then they have you can even some places you can rent these ice fishing sheds. You know, I'm talking it's like a shed, bro. It's like like imagine something from here to here to here, to maybe maybe just behind you, though. That's like a nice one. You know, the square, like this. Some square, just do you know where that surface is behind you, that door? Just imagine some something square from here to here. Like here. Right? You walk in, you have a little wooden stove in there, bro. It sits like just above the ice, and it's got like a hole in the middle, like a just a cutout square. You and they make the the hole for the on your ice. Yeah, they make the hole on the ice. You just take off the the cover, right? You've done it before? You just no, but you see it in in you see it all the time, like in TV shows and stuff. It's a real thing. And and uh you you have heat, you have a little shed, it's not melting the ice beneath you because it's sitting above. You know what I'm saying? You have the hole in the center of the of the shed, so you can drop your lines. And you have your sleep in the shed? You you you might even be able to sleep on the shed, yeah.
Shooter:And it doesn't, and you're not gonna wake up drowning.
Mac G:I mean no, because it's the night is the nighttime is the coldest time. How the hell do the fish survive that cold? Huh? How the hell do the fish survive that cold? The bigger ones do. That's why it's always good to that's why people like fishing in the yeah. It's not it's not that they they the some of they they slow down. But they go down to the bottom of the lake. And the bigger ones are able to to move a little faster than the other ones. So they they kind of flow and you know, but there's a lot of them. Imagine there's a lot of them floating down at the bottom of the lake, kind of frozen up. But then there's, you know, I think there's winter fish too that do move around, but if the bigger ones they can't they can move around enough to have enough heat to you know move around. And I'm talking about big ones though. You just put your stuff in there, be boom, be-boom, you set it in there, you sit back, put a little bell on the line. You know how to uh work the fishing gear. Yeah, I do. I I all I know is throw the rod in there and wait. I don't know. I mean that's all it is. I don't know how to when with a with uh with ice fishing, that's that's the beauty of it, is that it's not like you're fly fishing, it's not like you're like you're lake fishing, but it's in a hole. So it's not like you're like casting, pulling the hole up and dropping it down because these fish aren't moving around like it's the summertime, they're moving around way slower. So it it and the thing is when you drop the line in fishing, because it because it's a line that just sinks down to the bottom, what you do is you put different levels, you put like bait that that'll dangle up at the bottom, because you put a weight that'll carry it down, and you put like a little float that'll help carry up some weight, carry up some bait, and then along the line that's being pulled way down by the anchor, you put like another hook with bait, and then up the line a little bit more, another hook with more bait. That way you're covering different levels of you know, at least two, like you know, at least 15 different to 50 depending on how the deep the lake is, you're covering at least 10 10 to 15 feet of elevations of the lake in case fish are swimming by. Somebody's gonna see something, you're gonna catch something at some point.
Shooter:Right.
Mac G:And that's the best part is that it's it's not moving. You just you can set your line there and you just sit back and wait for it to dangle, and there you go, you got one. You ever caught a fish? I've caught plenty of fish, yeah. It's fun. I like fishing. I haven't had a chance to fish out here. But I would love to. I know my son definitely wants to do something something like that. We've almost had a chance to or not, but I don't have a vehicle and and he's in college now, so you got a vehicle? Huh?
Shooter:You got a vehicle?
Mac G:Who?
Shooter:Your son?
Mac G:No, not my youngest, he's he's in college. My my oldest does, but he's we'll scoop him up and we'll go fishing, kidnap him. Well, I mean, we can now drag his ass out of college one day. We'd have to wait till we're going fishing, motherfucker. We we'd have to wait till summer. I school. Summer's always uh always around the corner. Yeah, I mean, you need some cheddar though, because you gotta rent these these shit these sheds out and everything. And you gotta get like a day or two of going out there. I mean, Minnesota's what, like a what, 12-hour drive, if that from here? 12 hours ain't nothing with a few beers. You don't drink and drive here. Yeah, no, you don't have to drink it with a few beers, with a f well yeah. No, no, no. We don't drink and drive here.
Shooter:No, yeah. You get there and you have a few beers, those 12 hours won't feel like nothing. You know, as soon as you get there, exactly. As soon as you touch down, it's always worth it. It's always the you know, dude, it's always the journey. Just enjoy the journey. I feel like the city, bro, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like the city is such a rush. You know what I mean? Like people are always rushing. You get to work, then this and that, and then even after work, if if you gotta pick up groceries. Do you want to go fishing this over?
Mac G:I wouldn't mind. Well, we gotta do it. We gotta do properly though. We gotta go get permits and all that stuff. It's like 25 25 bucks.
Shooter:Yeah, Walmart, you can get them from Walmart if anything. Yeah, um that's not what you call it. I'm not a big fishing guy, but I do like sitting on a boat having a few beers.
Mac G:It's not expensive, dude. Literally, you can get yourself a cheap hole for like 10, 5, 10 bucks. The one on clearance right now, if we go right now, or when it starts snowing, you'll you can probably find a decent one for like really a one that you'll find in the summertime for like 50, 60 bucks. You could probably find for 25, 20. Like 20, 10, 15 bucks on clearance, because they'll they cycle those things out like crazy. Yeah. I believe then you can get your you can get yourself a starter tackle bait and all that stuff, depending on how hard you want to go. It sucks that you lost one of your picnic chairs, or one of your lawn chairs.
Shooter:Yo, dude, you can't have nothing out here in the city.
Mac G:Which one was it? Was it the one with the cooler?
Shooter:It was no, no, I got that one.
Mac G:It was just a better one to take for fishing. The one with the cooler? Yeah. That one's a better one to the cooler. See, that's why that's why I want to go. Maybe I had one exactly like that that I would take fishing with me. Nice. Mm-hmm. I would keep uh you can keep a six pack six pack and no suckers because that's what they're made for.
Shooter:Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they're made for.
Mac G:They keep them cool. You could throw ice in there. Exactly right. Yeah. So I would take that and just go. Go to the nearest lake and just go walk around and you know it's they make a path for around the whole lake. What about some of these lakes like that one we were at with the green water? I don't know about that's a swamp. Nah, that's uh one of those uh laboratories, catch reservoirs or whatever they're called. Maybe you know calling telling you they they make certain little reservoir lakes like out in the middle of nowhere, ponds, where companies drop their industrial waste to keep it separate from from the rest of you know this the water. Right. No, I believe you. But yeah, it's hot out here, you know? Mm-hmm. Is it hot in here? Because I kind of feel like it's hard out here for a pimp. It's not always hard out here for a pimp, bro.
Shooter:It ain't easy being cheesy, man.
Mac G:So what's going on today, bro? You said you mentioned something about the Twilight Zone. I was just kind of, you know, you you good or what? You know, the I don't know.
Shooter:It just feels like for some reason if you wake up and if you wake up throughout the day and you take a nap and you wake up in the same day, it feels like a glitch almost. Like, I don't know. I did and I don't use and I don't like so when I wake up, I like going throughout my day until whatever time I go to sleep, right? I don't like waking up and taking a nap in the middle of the day because then I wake up and I feel like especially around this time because the sun goes on earlier. So when I wake up, it feels like, oh damn, did I sleep throughout the whole day, or you know, and it's funny. So it's just I don't know, man. I just don't know what how to explain it. But this this world, this this thing called life, it's a trip, you know?
Mac G:Sometimes dreams feel like they're not dreams. Uh oh. What did you dream about? You know? What did you dream about, buddy? I I can't explain it.
Shooter:It's just lately I've been having these weird dreams. I did have a dream where I did sleep with the door open. And I don't know, that's like supposed to mean something.
Mac G:Does it? Sometimes they say dreams mean something. Because they sleep with the door opens all the time, bro.
Shooter:No, but I mean the door to my apartment, not just the door to my room. The door to my apartment was open.
Mac G:You know, you know why it feels that way? Why is that? Because if I'm assuming you sleep with your head towards the window, huh? No, I sleep with my head towards the wall. Towards the bathroom?
Shooter:No, towards so the bathrooms on my left and my like just like this. So there's a window towards the window.
Mac G:I remember the last time I saw it, it was kind of like head to the horror. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am pretty close to the window though. Okay, but yeah, that I think that's why. And especially if you have that opening that with that AC there, dude, you're definitely gonna be hearing like outside noise coming in, regardless of whether you have it on or not. And especially if you don't have it on, you're gonna hear you're gonna hear stuff coming, definitely some noise, bro. And it sucks, dude, that there's people, oh bro, just yelling shit out there, bro. I think you know, I think you're right, dude. I think that's who you are. You might have to do something like I don't know. You know what you should do that I would recommend grab some measurements and make a make a box, make a wooden make a wooden box, get some dimensions, make a wooden box that'll go over that. Over the the window, or yeah, because honestly, if it's a heater, bro. Oh one or two of those units right there. Magnificent, bro. I put that thing, I put that thing in my room at the uh medium level, that little space, that space heater right there, that tower. Yeah, dude, that thing's perfect. Perfect. I mean you have to you have to be careful where you place it, just make sure it's not like burn like combustible stuff around it. Right. Perfect, dude. It really does heat up the whole place, bro. I used to have, dude, I had those all the time. The one place I lived at, bro, the lady, dude, she lit, she wanted she kept the even in wintertime. She she would keep the heater at 65 degrees.
unknown:Dang.
Mac G:65. 65 degrees. Even in wintertime? Even in wintertime, bro. That's cold. It's cold. I kid you not, it's cold, bro. And this was an old house, old ranch style house that was probably one of those, it'd been around for a minute, like 19, I think this it'd been around since like 19, I think, if I'm right. 1930s, 1940s, bro. 1930s, dude. So almost a year, 100-year-old house, ranch style. Might have even been younger, uh older, to be honest with you, if I remember correctly. And she kept the thing at six. Well, I mean, yeah, yeah. She she I mean, she rented, you know, she was Section 8 or whatever. So, you know, it wasn't her house.
Shooter:Right.
Mac G:It was like a duplex with people on the other side, but like, yeah, this thing like had one single pane windows. You know, those old, like, those old like aluminum frame windows, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, aluminum frames.
Shooter:Aluminum frames.
Mac G:Yeah, the old 70s aluminum frames. I don't like the type of like the type you see like on old trailers. Naha. Yeah, exactly like that, dude. Aluminum black frame like that. Like nowadays, that's the the the they call that white gold, the that white PCV plastic for all these windows. Yeah, that's the best way to go. But before it was aluminum gold. Yeah, before that it was aluminum. Yeah, why aluminum? Because you see how it's cut up like that? Well, with aluminum, you could do the same thing and just screw them on. This is all glued on. It's all pressed in and glued on. Oh you understand what I'm saying? Yeah. So I mean, they before they they had the marvels of adhesives and all this other crap, because that's double pane. But the I'm telling you, the ones over there, just single pane, a single pane, bro, a single pane of glass. And every winter time, those things will crack, dude. Every winter time, every winter time, bro. I'm telling you, at 65 degrees, I kept that sucker in a room about as big as the the living room right there.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Perfect, dude.
Mac G:No problem. And even if you put it all the way up with that door open for the the door, if this was closed off right there and you left my bedroom door open right there, heat up both places perfectly, dude. And even has an automatic cutoff switch. So if it gets too hot, uh if it gets the room gets to a certain temperature, it reads the ambient temperature. So you know it'll get to a certain way, right?
Shooter:Yeah, those are dope. Those are nice.
Mac G:But that's what I'm saying. You still have to be careful about where you put it, where it's facing.
Shooter:Yeah, definitely.
Mac G:You know, I remember Like me personally, I usually put it right there at the door in the door area, right where the door, if you close the door, right there. In the entrance to the door, just put it right there, turn it on. Facing into the into my room. With the door open, it stays hot enough with the air circulating in and out. Yeah, dude, perfect. It's been getting cold in here these nights. Especially in the middle of the night. Yep. Oh yeah, dude. 65 degrees. I'm telling you. I um I tried to turn on my heater, it started to smell. That's what I'm telling you, dude. It gave out this smell. You're better off for just getting, I'm telling you, get a wooden box, make it get dimensions. I I have a I have a tack, a tack gun right there. We could use that just to tack it all in. If it just making you don't have to make something so heavy duty. You can make something off of like like plywood.
Shooter:Yeah, no, I got yeah, definitely.
Mac G:Yeah. I'll help you if you uh help you get the wood and all that stuff too. I mean get the dimensions, like the square, and then how far out you need it. We can try to make it tight enough to uh to make it soundproof and uh kind of weatherproof. Cause dude, with with that there, bro, it's it's not, I'm telling you. I'm telling you, it's not it's not thick metal. It's you know, it's all plastic. It's a flax plastic front and back or whatever. Yeah, it is bottle square enough, yeah, metal, metallic enough. I mean, it's you seen it. Yeah, bro. It's no one else. I've never thought about it. I never, you know, especially we hear somebody just kicked that thing in. Yeah, that's why I'm you know, that's why that's why when you're gone. That's why it that's why I would I I sleep good at night. I mean, granted, during the daytime, nobody's really gonna do anything. No, but I sleep good at night because I got my I got my card. You know, that's all I that's all I want to say.
Shooter:You know, that's all I want to say.
Mac G:No, I understand, I understand, bro. Okay, and I'm not I'm not too worried.
Shooter:I'm not too worried. You know, it is weird. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, it is weird having that right there, and yeah, I feel the same way.
Mac G:It's just Oh, don't get me wrong. For me, it would be heaven, dude. I sleep so good here up here above this bar. I'm one of those people that like, dude, some of the best sleep I ever had as a kid was uh sleeping in the middle of church, bro. You know what I'm saying? With all that noise happening underneath the pew, just all bunched up, you know, like four years old, three years old, you know, four years old, five years old, bunched up underneath the pew, like it's stuffed with people. You hear the preacher blah blah blah blah blah, and everybody's quiet. That's relaxing to me. I don't know why, but that's always been relaxing. The sound of people walking around, even at the end of church, that'd say underneath that circuit just passed out now. Nice and cozy, just all bundled up. You know, people walking around everywhere.
Shooter:Yeah. Some uh some kids could fall asleep to that.
Mac G:Yeah, well, I'm one-eared, so you know. Oh, yeah. That helps, right? Yeah, that definitely helps. Yeah, I have no idea how many times I've been I've been late from from my my crochet.
Shooter:Well, you know, like we like to uh say here.
Mac G:What do we like to say here? We say a lot of things here. Remind me which one. Always always check about your people.
Shooter:You know, give give your people a text, man. Your family, your friends, if you know, just check about your people, man.
Mac G:Reach out and touch somebody, you know, not in a bad way. Yeah, man, because you know, um, not not in a registerable way, right?
Shooter:Right, you know, it's always good, it's always good to have someone uh hang out with or talk to. And and I understand sometimes you just want to be alone, not too, um, but just people in general.
Mac G:No, no, no, you're right. Yeah, me, me, yeah, me, yeah. You don't have to say me, no, me, yeah. No, no, but just people in general. But it's good to just put me on that list of people that want to be alone, dog. Don't get me fucked up, right? Put me on the dude, no, I couldn't understand that. No, no, no, no. I appreciate you coming out and doing other shit, man. No, that's cool. I appreciate you uh humoring this old man here, bro.
Shooter:No, no, it's always a good time here at the Shakedown.
Mac G:And uh, like we say, you know, I catch myself saying, like, damn, I'm hanging out to do too much, bro. Yeah, you know. No, no, I'm just saying that because it's like, dude, I forget my age sometimes, bro. And it's like, damn it, bro. I mean, dude, I'm like, what? I'm like fucking 14 years older than you, bro.
Shooter:I got another buddy of mine, dude.
Mac G:Not that I mind. I really don't mind.
Shooter:No, I mean, I don't, you know, I got another, I got another buddy of mine, dude. He's almost like 10 years older than me, too.
Mac G:But I realize the dynamic, though. It's like uh I feel like the pathetic one sometimes because people see it's like, what the fuck's going on?
Shooter:Nah, I mean, to be honest, dude, it's just I feel like fuck that, bro.
Mac G:This is a podcast. This is a podcast about men, and we're both men, and fucking we like hanging out. Fuck all the the rest of whatever anybody else has to say.
Shooter:Uh just chilling. I mean, I mean, you know, I I sleep good at night.
Mac G:I do too. I sleep, I sleep uh with no underwear, face down with my biggest. I sleep with no underwear face down with my ass up in case people want to come kiss my ass in the middle of the night, bro.
Shooter:You know, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I get it. Like now you know probably people are like, oh, you know, but I mean to me, dude, we're just up here doing a podcast, chilling, talking smack, and that's cool, man. Like, ain't no, you know.
Mac G:We're not even talking smack, we just keep it real, bro.
unknown:Yeah.
Mac G:Speaking facts, bro. A lot of people like to confuse facts with smack, but it's it's a smack down fact down. Smack ain't real. Facts is you know, yeah.
Shooter:But I'm pretty sure, dude, since the time of history history of time, way before time, long ago. Bolton hoes. It's just life. And one thing about life for sure is you're gonna get taxed and you're gonna die. So might as well just enjoy the ride. Yeah, you know? I I got taxed on my check, dude. You get both? I go, no, dude. No, dude, I'm not good.
Mac G:No, dude, let me tell you something, dude. Let me tell you something, dude. Listen, listen, listen.
Shooter:No, dude, no, no, dude, listen. No, dude. I'm gonna get dude.
Mac G:I'm gonna write a letter, dude.
Shooter:This is some bullshit, dude.
Mac G:You get text on your check, right? I get text on my check, dude.
Shooter:Like, go get some damn, I gotta go to the store, dude. I'm getting some chips. I get text on the chips, bro. I gotta use the toilet paper, bro. I gotta take a shit. I get text on the toilet paper, bro. I can't do it, bro. I'm thirsty, bro. I get water, bro. I work hard, dude. And then I get text on the beer. Nah, dude. Dude, the the beer just went up a dollar, dude. It used to be 10 something. Are you kidding me? I didn't understand. Dude, I got like dude. No, dude. No, these people don't understand. These people don't understand. We got government officials that got more DUIs than I ever had. I don't even got a DUI. We got government officials that got more, nah, dude. It don't make sense. It doesn't make sense, dude. No, dude. No, dude, these hefty streets aren't even clean, bro. I go, I dude, like I can't even go down the street without my tires. Nah, dude. Nah, dude.
Mac G:I hear you. I hear you.
Shooter:I I want them to hear me. Those people up there, dude.
Mac G:They're not gonna hear you.
Shooter:Nah, dude. Fuck that.
Mac G:People at work might hear you though.
Shooter:I hope so. Shit. They're down the street. Those mama webbles. No, but it's just I'm tired of getting taxed, dude. I go to sleep and I'm in my dreams. Sometimes I'm at work. Huh. You know what I mean? No, I'm not here. I can't, bro. I hear you, man. But I got to. Because you know, I uh there's a saying that sometimes being a man is doing things you don't want to do.
Mac G:That's all being a man is, man. What are you talking about?
Shooter:You know who told me that? King of the Hill.
Mac G:Mm-hmm.
Shooter:Shout out to King of the Hill, man.
Mac G:Life told me that. But yeah. King of the Hill reiterated it. You remember? Yeah, yeah.
Shooter:He told, I think he told his son, he's like, son, half the time being, he's like, half the time you're gonna have to do some things you don't want to do, but that's part of being a channel.
Mac G:I never did finish watching King of the New Season. God dangle, man.
Shooter:King of the Hill, God dang old, man.
Mac G:You never did finish watching. Have you started the new season?
Shooter:I want to, but no, I haven't. King of the Hill, dude, that's my guy.
Mac G:Yeah, from my understanding, Hulu's gonna be no more here pretty soon.
Shooter:He's getting old.
Mac G:Hulu?
Shooter:Or Hulu?
Mac G:Yeah.
Shooter:Who bought him? Disney.
Mac G:Disney's taking him over. They're uh taking over all their content, I think, by uh before the end of the year by by the after Thanksgiving, there'll be no more.
Shooter:Thanksgiving. Would that's funny that they're gonna do it on Thanksgiving. Why is that? I don't know. That seems kind of like an insult. Like if like if you had a business and I say, hey, I'm gonna buy you out on Thanksgiving.
Mac G:Yeah. Well I won't I don't think it'll be like on Thanksgiving, but it'll be sometime after Thanksgiving. You know what I mean? That sort of thing.
Shooter:Sounds like a mafioso hit.
Mac G:I might be wrong. It could be sometime it this might be the last year, and then next year it's gonna be. From my understanding, Disney Plus is it's not like they haven't already, but they're gonna absorb all of it and they're just gonna just no more Hulu. They might have Hulu on the Disney Plus, like the you know, that Hulu tab, like kind of like the marble tab, kind of like the you know what I mean? The Avatar tab for the Long Live Hulu. Yeah, man. I mean I liked it. They had Shorty. I saw I mean they still have Shorty. There's gonna be a another season coming out, like I think towards the end of next June. They put it out like they normally do. Might be the last season. Let me get some of that trail mix.
Shooter:Well, you know, I'm all shooking off.
Speaker 1:You're all uh uh you know, Elvis is you know why y'all shook up there, big buff?
Shooter:I just don't know.
Mac G:I mean from the ta aside from the taxes what else grind your grinds your gears there, bud? You know what else grinds my gears?
Shooter:The fact that we print money and don't have enough of it. You know? Yeah. We're out here printing money like it's no one's business and we still don't have enough of it. I just I understand that there has to be a way of exchanging things for my for for certain right?
Mac G:Like if I do a the way we print print money and we act like we're in we're we're out of trees. Yeah, you know it's dangerous. Out here for a pimp, that's for sure. It's dangerous, it's hard. It's all that shit, bro.
Shooter:I do gotta take a ride though, I'm not gonna lie. You gotta what? I do gotta take a ride to go get some stuff later. I don't know if you was you wanted to get out and get some fresh air. Yeah, sure. Walmart.
unknown:Sure.
Shooter:You know, I'll drop you back off and stuff. But yeah, no, it's all good. But no, dude. It's just I just like I said, dude, it's weird. Like, I got man, there's no biggie, right? Taking a nap during the day, but I like to, you know, it just feels I was like, damn, it feels like two days in one. You know? We got 10 minutes left. That's cool. And uh, like we always say, dude, it's it's it took us a while to find kind of like a like the flow. Yeah. Because this right now, like I feel like we're every time we jump on the show from uh like here and out, it's pretty much like we just go with the flow. When I first started, I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of hard for me to we had a few pockets there that was just that silent. And it's it's funny because it was to me, it was more having the mic in front of me. Because without the mic, we're always just chopping it up, talking about this and that. But as soon as the mic gets in front, it's like I feel like you had to be careful on what you say, how you say it, you know, stuff like that. And we we we do have a decent amount of equipment for how we started, and you know, it's it's a start, it's something came a long way. It's been a few months, and compared to talking about it, you know, always that that oh this we should do this, we should do that, but sometimes it just kind of fades away, and we just kind of ran with it. Well, mainly you exceptionally.
Mac G:Yeah, but you know, we've we've hit some sort of um some sort of routine, don't you think?
Shooter:What it feels like, yeah. And it sounds and it sounds natural.
Mac G:It sounds you know what I'm happy about. Yeah, you know, and I hope that's always been my goal with it with that beat.
Shooter:That's a nice beat. I hope our people feel like that. You know, and and and and they could leave some comments if you guys want to leave some comments. Let us know what you think about the beat. Let us know how you think about the show. You know, we're always just like I said, this is a place for for people to just tune in and just kick back and you know, because sometimes I go throughout the day and and I might not might might not run into a couple of my friends. So I've been throughout the whole day by myself. And sometimes I'll just jump on the pad and listen to you know to the show. And yeah, no, I mean good to have that background, you know.
Mac G:Yeah, for sure. I mean, it's like I said, and like one of the very last things that I hope we get off of this podcast, if anything, is that self-improvement. You know, because it's like you getting on that mic and being a little bit more vocal with yourself, uh, and you know, not you know, not being scared so much of the mic anymore. That's self-improving right there, bro. You know what I'm saying? That's reaching another level.
Shooter:Definitely, definitely.
Mac G:So hopefully that's not the end of it. No, you know what I was gonna say. I woke up this morning and got yourself a gun? Nah, with the hunger of a beast, bro. Wow. I was honestly thinking about hitting you up.
Shooter:What are you gonna get? Oh, the subm- The sub.
Mac G:Yep.
Shooter:That could be for next week. We could tell, oh, you know, y'all don't know you want to tell the people about the sub.
Mac G:I'll let you, I'll let you punch it in the sub.
Shooter:You know, like we said, we are thinking about taking this podcast outside, doing a few challenges, maybe some food challenges. Um mainly MACG over here. Um I can't, you know, I can't do a it's uh how long is the sub you said?
Mac G:It's it's it's not so much as how long as it is. It's I think it's three feet though, but it's it's uh seven pounder. One hour, one drink? Yeah, like I said, I wasn't sure about the drink. That might be a little bit more. But but it is one hour.
Shooter:How are you feeling about that?
Mac G:You can't get up and leave the table.
Shooter:You feeling confident though?
Mac G:I think I could do it. Yeah. You can't get up and leave that that table for that one hour. And if you win, you get a fifty dollar fifty dollars cash straight up. And I think your name on the wall, and I think you get um a hoodie too, or something like that.
Shooter:That would be that would be one for the podcast.
Mac G:Yeah, for sure.
Shooter:Something to talk about too.
Mac G:I'm thinking about doing the good life one too, which is two 63-inch slices of pizza.
Shooter:Hey, yeah, the more content, the better. Like we said, because we are we are we do try to touch on topics about news-wise, but we want to step out and do some topics about outside in the city. You know, we are in the city, might as well take advantage of it.
Mac G:Yeah, you know. Yeah, no, uh, I mean, and there'll be other stuff eventually at some point, but like, I mean, honestly, I've always been interested in doing these challenges, and I'll admit that I'm getting my inspiration from a certain YouTube uh channel. Uh, I'm gonna pimp it out right now. It's called Beard Meets Food. My boy from Leeds. I don't even know his name really. I just know it's Beard Meets Food, the bearded guy. A really cool guy. Um he's I think uh a professional gurgitator, I think is what they call him. Professional eater. He does content. I I forget what he's ranked at now, but uh he's a professional, he's professionally ranked for sure. He's a I mean, I don't think he's I'm not sure how tall he is, but I think he's as very tall. And but he is a stacked dude, like I'm talking, I'm talking about like he's he's pretty ripped and he's pretty toned too. So but yeah, no, he I've seen a lot of his challenges and there it it just seems like some of these challenges that I see I I feel like I can do. And even if I can't beat him, it's uh it is a contest. It is a challenge, it is something for me to try out and test my limits and uh know how far I can push it. And really none of these challenges are ever that expensive, so I figure why not? It's something for us to do to get out there out and about, and it definitely will be our first video that we post up, I think. Because right now we really don't have any reason to be posting up videos. I think that the audio content on its own speaks for itself. Uh but we'll see what my boy here Big Shoots have to say after has to say after he gets out of the the pisser there, because I'm sure that's what he's doing. And I hope he hurries up because I gotta go do one myself. But um Yeah, no, aside from that, I guess I do I should just pimp out our other stuff. Uh we are trying to set up that uh Patreon page. We are gonna set it up with some paid content here pretty soon. Uh, and I I promise you it's gonna be some good stuff. There are gonna be a couple episodes with me and my my uh belligerently drunk son. The that episode is called How to Deal With Your Drunk Son. Put him on a podcast. Uh and then we're gonna have a two-parter, achy breaky farger with my boy Big Shoots here. He's gonna finally give us a little bit of uh what he's been suffering through. And um, these things can be very expensive episodes, you know. Even if it's just a one dollar contribution, that that'll be great. Definitely, yeah. But uh I'm gonna let my big my boy Big Shoots uh pimp out some other stuff. We gotta uh does he know we got three minutes left. I got you know what I think I can hold it in, but is there anything you have to say?
Shooter:No, I just want to say I appreciate everybody, like always.
Mac G:Yeah, we're not gonna wrap it up just yet. You know, is there anything you have to plug in?
Shooter:Oh, I've kind of Yeah?
Mac G:You you know you good? Alright, so aside from that, let's see. I am working on my music, still I hate to make it all about me, but since my boy here, I mean, uh honestly, my boy Big Schutz, he's doing plenty with the with the podcast. That's his occupation. That's I'm here to to help him to facilitate those needs and be a part of the thing too, because I've never done a podcast, and that'd be great to figure out. And I love doing this stuff anyways, and he's a great guy to hang out with, great guy to talk to. And but aside from that, uh I'm gonna put my music skills to test. I don't know. I'm I I I think I am gonna maybe do one Christmas song just to test myself. Maybe we'll play it for Christmas. The week of Christmas, that'll be our our starter.
Shooter:Yeah, might as well, you know, give it away.
Mac G:For the week of.
