Advent 2025 E22 - Looking Back and Road Trippin'...

We wish you the Merry Christmas. We wish you the Christmas and the Happy New Year.

Oh, here's one. This is not quite Christmas, but it's end of year.

Your favorite moment from the show this year, if you can remember all the show. This? Our show?

Your Miller community, or this show? Yeah, the Miller Morning Madness.

Yeah, your favorite moment from the entire year.

The Flamingo recap, all of that.

I know, that was pretty top-notch. Mine was that, and it was a very specific

moment, and it's the very opening of the show. The port-a-potty.

I got to go with the port-a-potty, too.

I'm with Pancake here on this one. Like, that was such a shocker.

I mean, if you can be at a port-a-potty at Flamingo Fest. Start at a golden shower trend.

Yeah, all three of us have officially peed on this show. On air. On air.

On air. And you're not supposed to do that. Out for the world to hear.

We're not supposed to put that out. And the funniest thing is you might have

the loudest of all three.

I know. It was the most forceful stream.

But my favorite one was definitely Flamingo Fest 2, and it's the beginning where

I'm like, you can tell I'm drunk as shit.

You were at the end of Flamingo Fest, and I'm like, what's going on? Nothing.

What's going on? Nothing.

At the end of Flamingo Fest Sunday night, A very few hanging out.

It's a barren wasteland of shame and disappointment. Just saying.

Going on, nothing. Country songs and bullshit.

That was so fun when we did the race. I feel like that's where we kind of took a turn in the podcast.

To more Miller-related. Just a direction.

It definitely wasn't. And, hey, anybody's welcome to give us other directions

to go in, Cause I would love to call us, call the number.

What's the number or just talk to us when you see us. 219-200-4280 is the number.

So call that number or, or sext us. We know some people are listening.

We don't know really who.

We've had quite a bit with the advent calendar. So that's great.

Everybody is, we're starting. So like the big thing is you have to subscribe

or follow us. And I feel like a lot of people don't do that.

Um, but if you do, it's not that complicated. You could just press play on the

button that says play on the website.

You can listen to it. Yeah. You don't have to subscribe or like anything.

It is interesting though. Also, like that's too complicated for you.

There are people who I like, like on your desktop computer, you can just hit play.

There are people who I expect. I come up or your phone while you're on your phone.

Hey, listen to the show. It's funny. And I'm like, Oh no, I get it.

You're one of my friends. But then like some people come up and said,

yeah, I listened to the podcast. It was very interesting, but funny.

And I'm like, I would never in a million years.

Granted, I do advertise it for trivia, but it's just like you actually scan the QR code.

So many people. So many unexpected people. And then I'll be like talking to

one of my friends like, yeah, on the podcast. Oh, no, I didn't listen to that.

Yeah. Like, like, I think. Which is fine. We don't care.

Christopher Robin. It's not about that. Unsubscribe, and he is a part of the OG.

Hi, Christopher Robin. It's so cool podcast crew. When you come back to Miller

and Vizlas. He's like, why do I get this annoying thing every day?

And I'm like, well, unsubscribe or record something, because we'll put on whatever

you record. I bet he just unsubscribed.

He probably did. Hey, Christopher Robin.

We love you. Give us whatever you want to record. You and YOLO do a Christmas

sketch. We'll be down there. Don't...

I mean Largo, sorry. Key Largo. By the way, I'm totally looking forward to that recap.

We're going to do a live remote. Good.

Because, frankly, I loved the Cabo recap. Because we can bring this whole rig since we're driving.

Oh, just like the aquarium in the backseat, the mixer is going to be running.

Yeah, we're going to drive.

We'll have to put the mixer in the aquarium. It's only 2,200 miles. Josh Scramble.

You guys are driving down there? We are. You didn't know about this?

No. That way you don't have to rent a car. Oh my god.

She's got the place rented for like a month or something like that. I'm just,

It's a two-day drive. You're not going to be able to do this anymore.

Yeah, I've done it in a...

What is it, 27 hours? It's 22 hours. You've certainly not done it since you've

known me, and I guarantee you can't because you can't drive more than two hours.

Well, also, I can't. You are rocking the electric, so you're going to have to

stop every couple hours. I can't work for more than two hours without taking

a nap. So it's her whatever...

Volvo. Oh.

It's like a... It's fancy. but we'll fly.

No, I can't. I, I'm a two hour limit to drive. And then I got to take a drive

longer than two hours at a time. And I am not joking.

If anybody is listening, I'm good on driving. Also the dark too.

We're going to have to shut it down.

I can appreciate it. Jen pancake wants to get there.

I have no patience for is for when I'm driving. I don't want to stop.

I'm with you. Hang out or whatever. I just want to get wherever we're going.

Done with it. You didn't even want to stop in Georgia to get the boiled peanuts.

I definitely don't want boiled peanuts.

Have you been to a Buc-ee's before? I went there. Now I'm good.

I don't need to go there ever again. Well, that was what I was going to say.

There's another layer of hell.

I've never been there, but if I'm near one, I'm stopping at least just to say

I didn't. I had to do it. I had to do it.

So we had to charge the car when we were coming back. If I know anything about

you, you're going to hate it just as much as I did.

The bathrooms are nice, but it is full on. It's a Walmart. It's Black Friday

Walmart. It's Black Friday. It's madness.

It's the same thing I say about Mount Rushmore. If you're by it,

stop and see it for five minutes.

I have a biscuit, biscuit for Josh Scrabble. Biscuit for Josh Scrabble.

The bathroom, the shower bathroom is open for room number eight.

We have some clothing on sale and a pallet grill for $1,499.

They do have good chargers. Constantly in there. Also, the brisket guys are

dressed as cowboys and doing some sort of little shimmy dance.

Yeah, they're doing a dance. While they're chopping up your brisket.

Here's what I'm going to complain about, too. The sodas are not on brand.

Oh, you can get whatever soda you want. Oh, it's all knockoffs?

Knockoffs. You can make a, you can make, they have like every flavor that you could imagine.

Yeah, but it's like not like. It's like the Mormons, right?

So cola with a H, A-H. Cola.

What's that drink place that the girls like sip or something?

No, not sip. So it's not in Arizona. It is sip, isn't it? Yeah,

it's something like that.

Do they squirt? They like mix their own. They have 1,000 different flavors of

soda and like. But it's none.

It's not any of the Coke or Pepsi brands that we're all familiar with.

It's the Buc-ee's versions of all of that.

And then you got all these kids are mixing a bunch. Why would you mix a soda?

Someone will fill in the blanks of this mystery. Because it's the comic.

You've never done that when you were a kid? No, I don't want to do that.

Dr. Pepper. You've never done the kamikaze mix?

The connoisseurs out there, you'll chime in on the flavors of the buckies.

Jerry is a fountain soda sommelier.

I just want one thing. Like if I want a Coke, I want a Coke.

What is this kamikaze business you're talking about? That's what we used to call it.

So, you know, like you used to go to like Burger King and you would take a cup

and you would like hit every single. I never did this ever in my life because I'm not a psycho.

I did it once when I was a kid. Why do you want your Coke to taste like Dr. Pepper?

No, it wasn't that. It was just like, so you'd hit Coke, Diet Coke.

This is the lineup I remember.

Diet Coke? Coke, Diet Coke, orange sliced, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, root beer.

Seven. I think that's six. because that might have been them all. Anyway.

This sounds like the start of the downfall of the Portage Middle School.

Well, true, it was. There wasn't a lot to do in Indiana in those days.
