Speaker 1: night are clearly not enough, clearly not enough. And this

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: is the Sunday mail Bag podcast. We have some things

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: to get to before the Mailbag joined from West of

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the four oh five. Yeah, David Gascon has come over here,

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: happy to report that our podcast is not halted by

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: these Securities and Exchange Commission either. So that's a positive spin.

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: Just think how much influence we can manipulate the market.

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: If we give out stock advice here. We'll have Sprinkles

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: the clown going and buying stock here because of our advice.

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I didn't want to bring it up to Catherine, but

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: I know you know exactly what's going on, especially in

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: the gambling world. This ship happens all the time with Sharp's.

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: You know Sharp's will will shell out money to some

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: of their you know, some of their little plebs to

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: go bet on a line, swing it one way, and

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: they'll come right back over the top and swing it

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: another way. Yeah. Well, the big money moves the market.

39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: But here's the thing too. In the in the wall

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Street with day trading is essentially sports bits, sports betting,

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: that's what it is. And so I had heard from

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: people that last March, when sports were shut down for

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty four days, there were no live

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: team sports in America. If you're a sports gambler and

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: that's how you get your dopamine fix, you couldn't do it.

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: And so a large percentage of sports gamblers who were

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: addicted to it and had a better game every night,

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: a game of day people or more, they moved over

49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: to Wall Street to day trading. And so that's that

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: kind of you know, loosely related to where we're at today.

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: But the it's a great story that you know, that's

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a movie. They're gonna make a movie about

53
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: the Wolf of Wall Streets. One of the better movies

54
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: I've seen over the last fifteen years or so. It's

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the hell out. That was a good it's

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: a great movie. I mean, for me, it's it's totally

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: relatable because I was a part of the housing market

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: crisis in the two thousand seven, two thousand eight, two

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: thousand nine period. And I mean, I hate to say it,

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: but that's what they were all about. I mean, these

61
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: these mortgage backed securities banned, like we were told when

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: I was working for City Group, I was told that

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: we needed to to refinance a bunch of mortgages. And

64
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: typically when you're an escrow it takes you anywhere from

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: like thirty to sixty days to close on a house,

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: sometimes ninety if it's under construction. But if you're trying

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: to refinance your property, it's anywhere from still thirty to

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: forty five days. And they're so severe on the underwriting

69
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: guidelines that underwriters won't pass you unless you're over or

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: above clearance on their checklist. But when I was with

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: City all of these were streamlined, so you went from

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: thirty to forty five days of processing to ten or fifteen,

73
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: which is fucking absurd. But the whole point of it

74
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: was is that they wanted to have all of these

75
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: mortgages that were on their books refinanced so they could

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: sell them immediately on the secondary market. And then all

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: they did after that was just layoff and terminate everybody

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: in their mortgage lending department, or the majority of it.

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: And the reason why was that they want to get

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: out of the industry because a lot of the mortgages,

81
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: mortgages that did did sell or two people with stated

82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: income stated assets no documents, no verification. All you gotta

83
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: do is show up and prove that you have like

84
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: a seven score, and we give you an interest rate

85
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: and a loan that was like three or four or

86
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: five percent, and you had like a loan to value

87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: which was like at ninety, which is fucking absurd, you know,

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: like so so, but I was doing that. It's it's

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: so essentially with the volatility of the stockment. Just invest

90
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: in soybeans, you know, just go by soybeans. They can't

91
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: go wrong with soybeans. But it's fascinating because we will

92
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: bail out the mortgage back securities, will bail out the

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: real estate industry, will bail out the automotive industry, the

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: airline industry, the banking institutions, automotive industry, but we won't

95
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: bail out the common folk. Here's your six dollar check

96
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: that you got like twelve months after this whole fucking

97
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: thing went down. It's fucking appalling, but it's it's typical, right,

98
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Like it's what you'd expect. But my favorite part of

99
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: it is and I think that if I was writing

100
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: the screenplay for this movie about the game Stop situation,

101
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: it would be a story of all these greedy Wall

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Street people like, hey, let's these daily apps will be great.

103
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: We'll get more dumb money, right, more dumb money, and

104
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: we'll be able to take their money. That's what they

105
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: were excited about when Robin Hood and these things came around.

106
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: The It's kind of like, you know, we we talk

107
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: about gambling, and you mentioned the sharps in the gambling world, right,

108
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: the bookie, the sports book fears the sharp. They don't

109
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: like the sharps because those are people that have all

110
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: the inside information, you know, like edge fun people, like

111
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: hedge fun people. They can't stand them. But the square,

112
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: which would be what the day trader is, the Robin

113
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Hood user, the you know, the they just kind of

114
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: go off a hunch or something they they read on

115
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the internet for example, that they consider them unsophisticated financial people,

116
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: and so they want they want those people. They want

117
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: because dumb money, right, they want the dumb money. Um.

118
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: And so the movie would be all these greedy Wall

119
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: Street people so excited because these daily apps, and then

120
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: it blows up in their face and it's this thing

121
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: shoots to the moon. Right. That's that's the story. I mean,

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: get I don't know if Dicapriole, do it in Jonah

123
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: Hill and McConaughey and all those that were in Wolf

124
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: of Wall Street. But call him up. See what you

125
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: got there, See what you got. There's a good story.

126
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: There's a solid story right there. Greed is good, Michael Douglas,

127
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: so good. It's um, it's it's great because you know,

128
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: this thing is not going to be a short term

129
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: fixed Like as soon as they release the Hounds with

130
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: robin Hood and some of these other uh digital platforms

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: or the apps that allow you for trading, these guys

132
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: are gonna they're gonna release the cracking. I think these

133
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: guys will continue to trade no matter if it's a

134
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: MC or game Stop or or Nokia whatever it may be.

135
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna push those things to the limit.

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: And I I am a customer of robin Hood. I

137
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: have the app on my phone. I think you do too, also,

138
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: guest Gun, I think it's a great product. But what

139
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: they did by taking these not allowing you to buy

140
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: game Stop and those others, I think that is horrific

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: for their business and there is going to be a

142
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: price to pay. You just can't do that, especially when

143
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: Kather mentioned the I p O that they're supposed to

144
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: release here in the coming weeks. Yeah, I mean, what

145
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: are you doing? And I you know you've heard rumors

146
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: they got pressured by certain people. But still you gotta

147
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: think it's like people who are on that you have

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to be of a certain age, you have to be

149
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: an adult, you know. And you know they were like,

150
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't an abundance of caution. This is my my

151
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: problem with abundance of caution. When you play the stock market,

152
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: it's the it's the risk versus reard. Yeah, some people

153
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: and I'm sure some people even with what happened and

154
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: taking it off and all that, it's the risk versus

155
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: the reward. You're going to lose money, right, And and

156
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: when you invest that, what's the warning they always give

157
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: that past results do not guarantee future outcomes, right, they

158
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: always say that. And so you know, if somebody ends

159
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: up a hemorrhage in cash on the robin Hood map

160
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: because they didn't sell at the right time, that's on them.

161
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: You can't this this name I call it, I guess

162
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: nanny state, Right, isn't that the term where you're just

163
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: trying to overly protect people? You know, if you're in

164
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: the stock market game. You gotta get fully in the mud, right,

165
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: and nobody's forced to buy, whether it's game stop or

166
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: bed bath and beyond. The companies that people choose to

167
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: do it think they're gonna get a big return on

168
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: the capitol and all that. That's fine and and hopefully

169
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: it works for them. But if it doesn't, that's the

170
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: that's the way the game is. You don't change the

171
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: rules of the game. And that's what they did. They

172
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: changed and moved the goal posts, and you can't do it.

173
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I bad job by them. You know, you've

174
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: got a problem when you have independence, Democrats and Republicans

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: on the same side for a cause. Yeah, well, with

176
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: everything that we got on in this country, how great

177
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: is it? The thing that united the Donald Trump Republican

178
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: and the Joe Biden Democrat would be the Wall Street

179
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: It's wonderful. Ah, the irony? Al Right, pop quiz, pop quiz?

180
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: You want Popca got the mail back? A lot, a

181
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: lot of mail backs. We'll do a little bit of

182
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: pop quiz. Alright. Ten percent of football fans will end

183
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: up doing this in the next couple of weeks to

184
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880

00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: shot for alcohol? No, it is, Well, it's more than

186
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: ten percent that will shop for alcohol. But this is

187
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: something that doesn't involve shopping. Hmm um by a by

188

193
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: not bad. I would have guessed just buying any kind

194
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: of alcohol because it's almost like Valentine's Day when you

Speaker 1: during the summertime, and if I start sweating, I am

241
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: going somewhere and I don't have time to go take

242
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: a shower, spray on some cologne or something like that

243
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: to cover up the smell. Did not that's bad? Do

244
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: you have bad hygiene? No? I always smell roses. It's

245
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: all good. That's a lie, alright. One in six of

246
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: us will spend a hundred and forty nine dollars on

247
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: this this year and not happy about it. Game stop

248
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: stock yars on average um shoes. No a speeding ticket,

249
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: speeding ticket, hundred speeding ticket. When's the last time again? Well,

250
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: you probably have ways of getting out of speeding tickets,

251
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: but was the last time that somebody attempted to give

252
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: you a speeding ticket? Three weeks ago? Three weeks ago,

253
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: and you didn't tell us the story? Beat job by

254
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: your Where were you? Four oh five? There you go?

255
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: Four oh five? Speed? How fast are you going? You know?

256
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I was I was told I've used this before on

257
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the podcast, but for new people. I was pulled over

258
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: one time by a California Highway Patrol officer who gave

259
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: me what I believe is the greatest advice I've ever

260
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: gotten from someone in law enforcement. And he told me

261
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: that you can speed, but you can't go over seven.

262
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: He won't even it's not worth his time to write

263
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: a ticket if someone's going below seven. Seventy nine or

264
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: below is his threshold. If you're eighty or above, and

265
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: he sees you, you have a higher chance to being

266
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: pulled over. So from that, from that day forward, I

267
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: have driven. I've said my thing. At seventy nine, I

268
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: have not been pulled over. And it's years. It has

269
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: been years, and I will drive seventy nine, you know,

270
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: when the highways are open and all that, and I've

271
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: not gotten pulled over. Now that might just be a

272
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: California thing, or maybe I'm just lucky. Um, but yeah,

273
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: I never go past seventy. I got lucky, I um

274
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: because you said, you know, let me hold on, let

275
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: me call my dad and see what's No. No, I

276
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: didn't get lucky. I didn't get lucky in that regard.

277
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: I got lucky because it was on a Saturday during

278
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: college football season. So I had my cell phone on

279
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: the dash with a speedometer is with the ESPN app open,

280
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: and this woman cut me off. She went from the

281
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: car pool lane into the fast lane. So when she

282
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: cut me off, I went into the car pool lane

283
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: and then sped up and then cut her off. And

284
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: then that's when I got popped. So I had three

285
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: dingers right there. I was you're driving the car pool lane,

286
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: but you that's a big that's like two thousand dollar

287
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: thing cell phone on and speeding the trifactor. He didn't

288
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: see the cell phone though, so he didn't see the stuff.

289
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: And did he end up? He didn't write you a ticket?

290
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Or he did? Right? He didn't. He did. Don't sound

291
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: so excited? What the fun is wrong with you? Well,

292
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: how often are you driving the car pooling? I don't,

293
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I was literally in that car pool lane

294
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: for less than a quarter of a mile. Well, because

295
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you because a guy I used to work

296
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: with who I did an NFL show with on Sundays

297
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: and gave me some terrible real estate advice always drives

298
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: in the car pooling. Is that the guy that takes

299
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: steroids by himself drives in the car pool later? Right?

300
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: And you know I said, what are you doing? You

301
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: know you shouldn't do that. It's for people, And he

302
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: said no, it saves him time. And he's done it

303
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: for years and he's only gotten like two tickets and

304
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: he's done it for like twenty years. Yeah, so he's

305
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: like he does a cost benefit analysis. He's like, well,

306
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: you know I save all the time I save, you know,

307
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: worth it? Do you know? In other parts of California,

308
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: you can actually there are open and closed times of

309
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: when you could drive in the car pool lane. Yeah. Yeah,

310
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: in northern California. I've seen that, and I've not seen

311
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: that in southern California. That's that's a good job by

312
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: by No Cal, but So Cal bad job by then.

313
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: I think they do that in Arizona as well. Correct

314
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember doing

315
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: that when I was in Scottsdale and in Phoenix they'd

316
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: had the high occupancy vehicle lane and it was only

317
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: for specific times. It's pretty much pointless in my opinion,

318
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: to have the car poolane going twenty four hours a

319
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: day because I drive when no one's on the road,

320
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: usually other than a few big rigs. And you know,

321
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: just what's the point? You know, what's the point? Stupid?

322
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: All right? It is estimated to two percent of women

323
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: will do this in the first five years of marriage.

324
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: What is it, have sex with you, uh, lose their

325
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: wedding ring. Okay, that's actually pretty low, is it? I think?

326
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: So that's that's pretty good. Well, how do you lose

327
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: if you're wearing it all the time, you don't take

328
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: it off? How do you But if you take it

329
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: off a new shower. Yeah, but don't you just put

330
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: it right next to the shower and then you get

331
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: out of the shower, use the towel and then it's

332
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah. But what happens if you hit it

333
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: and goes into the sink. Well, you have a stopper

334
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: so it doesn't go all the way down the drain.

335
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: And I agree, but it happens. I just think it's

336
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: like people like on the on the sofa or something

337
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: like these, like their hands, I don't know, they're digging

338
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: for the remote and it comes off or something like that. Yeah,

339
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: nineteent of women have eaten this exclusively in order to

340
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: lose weight. What is it? Saltine crackers? No? Um? Baby food?

341
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Do you much? I want to lose a couple of pounds.

342
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: Let me get some Gerber baby food and see? Uh?

343
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: Can I get the peas like the peas of the squash? Geez?

344
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: I've heard stories of older people that don't have a

345
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: lot of money buying dog food because it's cheaper. Yeah,

346
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: that's a tough one, all right. The the average parents

347
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: stops doing this when their child is eight years old.

348
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: What is it? Um? Tangle their shoes? No, um reading

349
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: to them before bed bedtime story. The fun stops when

350
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: you're about eight years old old. I love, I have

351
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: fun members of my mom reading these stories when I

352
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: was a kid. Boy, that was fun. All right. Of

353
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: people would like to change this about their vehicle? What

354
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: is it? The color? Not the size of the gas tank?

355
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: All right? All right? Scientists are working on a way

356
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: to create a version of this item that many people

357
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: enjoyed daily by using watermelon and sunflower seeds. Are gonna

358
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: create a version of this product. Wait say this again?

359
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: All right? So the science community are working to create

360
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: a version of an item that many people enjoyed day

361
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: a lie, and they're gonna use watermelon and sunflower seeds

362
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: to do it. Man, I am, it's something you've probably

363
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: had today? How about that? Um, don't I don't know. Man,

364
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: It's something my wife loves and I've never had coffee. Oh, coffee,

365
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: watermelon sunflower seed coffee. Interesting. How's that gonna work? I

366
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll find out doing this for about eighty

367
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: minutes a day, they say, whoever they are, it helps

368
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: you maintain good mental health. Meditating now, listening to music. Okay,

369
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: I can believe that yeah, I do that. I have

370
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: great mental health because I clearly listened to a lot

371
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: what I'm getting ready for for for work, and I'm

372
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: trying to find stuff to talk about. I have um

373
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: mozart or some classical bull crap on the background just so,

374
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: just so I have a little music. That way, I

375
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: don't get distracted by anything other than that. It's pretty

376
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: and take you for a classical guy. That's cool though. Well,

377
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: if I hear lyrics, I might listen to it, but no,

378
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: like sometimes I'll do some jazz, little jazz, classical, just

379
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: background stuff. Got I'm not really paying attention to it.

380
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: But all this is good. According to a brand new survey,

381
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: this was the numbber one comfort food that got us

382
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: through the pandemic last year. I have two guesses. Um.

383
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: My first guess is ice cream. Ice cream is a

384
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: great guess. That is wrong. My second guest is French

385
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: fries solid again wrong again? Is it pizza? No, but

386
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't involve cheese. Uh, tacos cassadas grilled cheese. It's good, man,

387
00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: it's good. Two slashes of bread and you you had

388
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: some cheese? Now did you? Did you go the old

389
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: school way of putting the butter on top two and

390
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: flipping it over on the side. Let me tell you something,

391
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: My wife is the greatest cooker of grilled cheese. Now

392
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: I don't have I haven't even the grilled cheese, but

393
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: she from her in a while because you know, it's

394
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: not the healthiest thing. But she's slobbers butter both sides

395
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: of the bread. Cheese on top, cheese on top the

396
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: secret cheat code. So not only you get the gooey

397
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: cheese in the middle on the grilled cheese, but you

398
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: get an extra shot of cheese on top and bottom.

399
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: And it is wonderful good. My grandma back in the

400
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: day when she would do quesadillas, she would layer the

401
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: top of the tortilla with butter, like wrap that thing

402
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: around and then put the cheese and sprinkle it all

403
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: over and then flip it over, put more butter on top.

404
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: So good, are you salivating right now? My my grandma

405
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: really she hit some good spots. She the sparse side

406
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: of the family. She was really really good. They did

407
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: to Molly as well, Casada as well, and then oddly

408
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: enough aprilcot pies. She was fucking amazing. Yeah. Well, as

409
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: a as a kid, you know you finally remember the things,

410
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, listen again. We we've talked about

411
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: the keys, the cooking and all that and what you

412
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: need there and it's the proper mix of sugar, salt,

413
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: and fat. Those are the key ingredients. And that's pretty

414
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: much all these restaurants. They spend so much money trying

415
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: to come up with the right just there's that Goldilocks zone.

416
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: We've talked about it before, but it's I'm fascinated by that.

417
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: There's this ratio. It's called the bliss point. And every

418
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: every new item, like you know, Armies comes out with

419
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: a new roast beef sandwich. They're trying to get that

420
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: bliss point. And because it's irresistible and you gotta, you

421
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: gotta come back. But I see, I fast a lot.

422
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: So for me, the best, the best hung hunger is

423
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: is a is a tremendous spice. You know, because you're hungry,

424
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: you'll everything tastes better. That's true. Everything has been all right.

00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: First question from Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, home of a

430
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: pro basketball Hall of Fame or just the basketball Hall

431
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: of Fame. Now that we have a new regime in

432
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: power in Washington that may or may not have better

433
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: relations with China? Was gag on absent last week because

434
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: he was interviewing for that job in China that you

435
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: recommended him for. Alright, guess guns is for you? No,

436
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: I was not. Are you sure about that, because I'm

437
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: hearing differing reports on that. Listen, I'm interviewing at a

438
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: bunch of different places, but not in China. So interesting. Yes,

439
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: so you're looking to leave the podcast, I'm looking to Uh,

440
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking at upgrade my my paycheck. No, so I'm

441
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: want to create your own little personal stimulus. Well yeah,

442
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: in some ways, yes, Okay, I think you'd agree. We're

443
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: all trying to create our own positive stimulus certain times

444
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: of the day. Okay, So you're denying again, Pierre. You

445
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: might want to fact check that. Um, see if he's

446
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: telling the truth, because would he admit, Pierre, that he

447
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: was talking to the people of China, Yes, but I

448
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: would not do that. He was not catch me dead,

449
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: all right, chef Scott from La Orleans, the byou writes

450
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: in and the very nice things to say. I left

451
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: that out, of course, because I don't I'm not an

452
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: elitist like you. I don't need to pat myself on

453
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: the back. But he was very kind. No, he's talking

454
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: about me, all right, Yeah, just buttering me up like

455
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: a biscuit with compliment. So if I were to design,

456
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: if I were to designed a Mallard special food entree,

457
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: a chef Scott from New Orleans rights in, what would

458
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: your top three meats, top two vegetables, and top two

459
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: starches beat? Well, I know now, he says that no

460
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: fried chicken would be allowed. He wants me to think

461
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: outside the box. But I know you like to keep

462
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: things simple, he says. Although I am experienced and trained

463
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: as a friend chef specializing in fine dining, my favorite

464
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: kind of food is comfort food. Now you're speaking my language.

465
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: Now I know exactly what you choose for your meat.

466
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: You would choose pastrami and carnea sada. No, let me

467
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: tell you. I'm gonna give you the list here. So

468
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: I love pastrami is on there. I don't know if

469
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: it's a number one, but like ribby, thin cut ribby amazing.

470
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: And I like chicken, so chicken, rebby pastrami, some combination

471
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: of that. And as far as the veggies, Chef Scott,

472
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: I love the garlic. That's a vegetable, So I love

473
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: the guard I love bell pepper. Some chilies, uh corns

474
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: a vegetable, right, So I like corn. Get you more

475
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: than two onions? Yeah, I like onions, garlic, bell pepper.

476
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: Those would be the big three because that's when I

477
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: do the Mallard pizza. And what's like starches at but

478
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: potatoes pastas at? What all those starches? Yeah? Rice? Yeah?

479
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: How about rice? Potatoes? About that I could do? I

480
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: mean any of those three potatoes occasionally, don't hate them.

481
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: Not my favorite, but don't hate. Yeah. So yeah, that's it.

482
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: It's the list. I can't wait to see what Chef

483
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: Scott comes up with. Although it sounds like he's a

484
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: high end connoisseur at a I imagine him working at

485
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: this like Boogie restaurant. So what you're trying to say

486
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: is you would not sit down in his restaurant like

487
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: I would. No, no, no. If he has addition named

488
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: after me, I'm in you know, I'll go to the

489
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: French Quarter. I'll do it absolutely, I'll hang out there.

490
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: I'll go to Paddlebrian's. Now'll send Paddlebran to photos. See. Look, Pat,

491
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm at your restaurant and road. Somebody else did in

00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: paddle Brian and all that stuff. Yeah, pick up that

493
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: name he just dropped. There's a famous dummy. There's a

494
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: famous restaurant there. I know you've you've probably been to

495
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: Marty Grand all that, but that's famous. You've never been

496
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: to Marty Gars h huh, bad job. I'm surprised you

497
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: haven't gone down there throwing beads around and all that.

498
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: I've been to. Uh, I've been to a La Vista

499
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: on the campus of you see Santa Barbara for Halloween.

500
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: Does that count? It's a little crazy in Santa Barbara,

501
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: a little bit. San Diego Steak is a little crazy too.

502
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: It was yeah, all right. Stephen Boston right since says

503
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: there's not really questions, more of a statement, says Tom

504
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: Brady and his aging wife made the perfect plan for retirement.

505
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: Clock is ticking, So get the Florida no state tax,

506
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: easy coach, brilliant and no more. Bill Steve from Boston says, well,

507
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: The main part of that was no more Bill. I

508
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: think that's the do you want to get away from Belichick?

509
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: And he got what he wanted and now he's laughing

510
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: and it will be a week of bashing Belichick. The

511
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl hype wheep hYP hype week coming up. David

512
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: in Simpsonville, South Carolina. He says, when they rehired you

513
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: after laying you off, that was in twenty nine, what

514
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: did they tell you? He says, the economy was better,

515
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: or they made a stupid mistake, or they needed you back.

516
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember now. They originally hired me back

517
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: to do weekends. I had been doing the weekday overnight

518
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: show and they hired me back to do the weekend show.

519
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: So it was a demotion. But yeah, they they told

520
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: me some bull crap about how you know, they didn't

521
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: want to let me go, and it was like they

522
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: told me, it was like the last I was I

523
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 1: was on the list to be let go, and then

524
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: I was off the list, and then they put me

525
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: back on and it was a mistake. And yeah, they

526
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't really mention the economy, but they just said that

527
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: they they had erred and they were wondered if I

528
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: wanted to come back, and I was actually at that time,

529
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: I was in negotiations with the people at satellite radio

530
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: and I was talking to a station in Boston, and

531
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: so I had a couple of a couple of spinning plates.

532
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: But I was like, all right, I knew the people,

533
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: obviously Fox Sports Radio. I was like, I liked it there.

534
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, I'll go back. Darryl

535
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: in Elko, Nevada says, I failed to see what Marcel

536
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn brings to the show. It's time for him

537
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: to go. Well, Darrel, listen, um. Marcel is a acquired taste.

538
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: I get that he's not for everybody, but I like

539
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: mars and I think the show is good for Marcel.

540
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: Not that we're here to help Marcel out, but Marcell

541
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot going on. He lives in a

542
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: crappy apartment in the projects in Brooklyn, and so the

543
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: highlight from Marcel, one of the highlights of his week

544
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: is calling into the show. And I feel like we

545
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: have created a niche from marself. When Marcel used to

546
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: call up and we didn't do food picks, it was

547
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: it was a little painful at times, a little painful

548
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: of times and all that. But this this food thing

549
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: is good. And Marcel says stuff that he doesn't realize

550
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: is funny. That is funny. And you know, listen when

551
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: we welcome everyone into the Mallard Moist and Marcell's I

552
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: think he means well, he's a good a good guy,

553
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: so I'm not getting rid of him. But we don't

554
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: force him to call. It's like he's on the payroll,

555
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: so he could stop calling it any time. John the

556
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: jailer from Alan Town, p A. Calls and he says,

557
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Ben and gascon. My Christmas gift for my wife was

558
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: a flop. What do you suggest for Valentine's Day? To

559
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: get me out of the doghouse? Man, this is all

560
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: your domain. I am terrible at getting gifts. I I know,

561
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: a nice card and and all that I can do,

562
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: and the the candies, the flowers, the usual tropes of

563
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Doesn't it depend on what this guy's wife

564
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: is into. I we don't know anything about her. I

565
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: think her hobbies are and all that I think it's.

566
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: I think you're a safe bet would be to stack

567
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: your gifts, like just do it one year, or you

568
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: get something for her in the morning, the middle of

569
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: the day and nighttime, and then cap it off with

570
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: like a dessert or like some sweets something like that,

571
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: like chocolate. Never go wrong with that. What about like

572
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: um massage type thing, like a day spot type but

573
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: you're in right now, Yeah, but they're they're in Pennsylvania,

574
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: which is kind of you. You'd be going with some

575
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: candles and some incense. You could do that. That's always good.

576
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: Maybe some body lotion always handy. You could do is

577
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: Airline tickets are ridiculously cheek right cheap right now. You

578
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: could buy tickets somewhere playing a little weekend getaway somewhere

579
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: that you would not normally be able to afford to

580
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: go to because things are so cheap right now. Yeah,

581
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: maybe you can inquire about heading up to h to Newport,

582
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 1: heading up to Rhode Island up there, the the big

583
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: mansions that are up there in Rhode is looking at

584
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: you trying to show off your East Coast and geographical knowledge,

585
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: or going to Boston. Why not than that? I don't know.

586
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: I think wryn to go up to Maine and keep

587
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: going kind of cool too, though. How about the Nova

588
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: Scotia You can go even first, actually not this time

589
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: of the year and concentrate. Yeah, okay, uh, Carlos in

590
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: buying buying Houston, Texas? Right, since says Ben, will the

591
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: Negro drop finally go away? Since the brothers have passed away? Also,

592
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: when are the Benny's alright? First of all, let me

593
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: address the Phil and Joe Nekro drop. I think it's

594
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: a funny drop. I liked it on the show. We

595
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: had to stop playing on the show because of the

596
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: local ROTI what I mean by that is every time

597
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: we played this ever since things went wacky in the

598
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: world and every was trying to cancel everyone else. The

599
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: the average radio consumer does not listen to everything that

600
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: we say. Right, Listening is an art form, it's a

601
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: talk radio and all that stuff. But but listening is

602
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: often a bit of a problem. And you know, we

603
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: we only have it's like one percent of listeners that

604
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: will actually contribute content to the show, and most people

605
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: will not. They're just casual listeners and all that stuff.

606
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: And the problem that we ran into here is both

607
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: it's like two worlds meeting. You have the wocalati going

608
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: around and trying to cancel everybody, and then you had

609
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: people who don't listen right, who have bad hearing right

610
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: hearing impaired. And I mean hearing. I don't mean they're

611
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: actually hearing impaired. I mean just studies have pointed out.

612
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: Being in the radio business, I pay attention to this

613
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: stuff that the person listening to a radio show will

614
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: only remember about twenty maybe even less than that, of

615
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: the things they listen to it the most. It's like,

616
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: which means of the content is in one ear and

617
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: out the other, right, and and so the other thing

618
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: we have is that words only convey It's like less

619
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: than ten percent of what you're trying to say. The

620
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: other ninety percent is communicated by facial expressions. Now we

621
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: can't do tone of voice, and I try to use tone.

622
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: But anyway, the point of this, Carlos is every time

623
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: we played the Phil and Joe nicro drop, someone would

624
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: inevitably email me or post something on social media. I

625
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: can't believe in you would say that you're racist? How

626
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: dare you at all? I can't want to contact Fox

627
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: manage written get you off the air? What are you

628
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: in the k K K? And I'm like, well, no,

629
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 1: it's the name is Nikro, that's the last name. Phil

630
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: and Anyways, I I just I was tired of it,

631
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, it's not worth it.

632
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: It's funny, but it's not worthy. So you can blame

633
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: the wocarati who and people that are bad at hearing

634
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: as why we had to change that up. Okay, that's

635
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: the answer. Chris in Maracca to Iowa writes In says,

636
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: now that you've been married a while, whom of your

637
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: wife's who Who on your wife's side do you like

638
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: most or least? Does your wife get along with your

639
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: brother's dish on the drama? Chris says, well, I don't

640
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: know that it would be prudent for me to do that.

641
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: The wife is a listener of the podcast. Occasionally she

642
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: listens to the podcast, so I don't know if that

643
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: would be helpful to name names here. But no, honestly,

644
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: I get along with everyone. My wife's family is great.

645
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: I was concerned, you know, you hear stories from friends

646
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: about all these in laws. Man, what a freaking nightmare.

647
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: But I love them. They're great. I'm very close with

648
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: her sister. I'm not close with my wife's brother he

649
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: lives out of the area, but her parents are great,

650
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: and both of them wonderful people, very kind and nice,

651
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: and so I'm very lucky in that regard. Are They've

652
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: taken me in and we we spent a lot of time,

653
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: especially during the summer because my father in law has

654
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: a pool and it gets hot, and so we go

655
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: there quite a bit. And the only person that I

656
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: have an issue there was like a friend of the

657
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: family that I had a rhubarb with. But that's about it.

658
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: That's about it. But the actual like blood relatives and

659
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: all that people are in the family, in the inner circle,

660
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: get along with all of them, get along with all

661
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: of them. I am it. The blind Seahawk fan from

662
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: Olympius says, what are your actual thoughts on Brian Finley?

663
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't have any thoughts on it. Why do you

664
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: think I spend my time obsessing over Brian Finley? Gascon

665
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: On the other hand, you have a lot of thoughts

666
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: about Brian Finley. What do you mean, Well, you're jealous

667
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: of the attention he's gut here through the grape vine,

668
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: that you're jealous of the attention that he gets, and

669
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: that he's the go to fill in guy when and

670
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: he's not around, well he fills in. Because I don't

671
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: want to someone I'm here, Well, you're hearing a red

672
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: horse his mouth. That's not what I'm here. I don't

673
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: want that drag of a schedule. Yeah, okay, interesting, Greg

674
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: in written Washington writes in We're very big. In written Washington,

675
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: we are Uh, he says, Ben, what can you tell

676
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: me about Shane Waldron? You know who Shane Waldron is? Guest,

677
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: you know who the hell's that? That is? The new

678
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: offensive coordinated or the Seattle Shawks. Who was the was

679
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: he the quality control coach or something like that of

680
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: offense for the Rams. I've never even heard of the guy.

681
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 1: And I'm a Ram fan, and I can assure you Greg,

682
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: he was not hired because Pete Carroll thinks he's going

683
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: to reinvent the wheel. He was hired Shane Waldron because

684
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: he's young, he's cheap, and he will follow the orders

685
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: of Pete Carroll. So that's that's the end of that.

686
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: But but good luck, good luck on that. And if

687
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: Seattle has a good offense next year, he'll get credit.

688
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: If not, they'll blame him. He's a he's a necessary

689
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: useful idiot, as they say Kevin from Rockford Dale. And

690
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: all right, so says Mr Mallor and Mr whoever is

691
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: filling in this week. I guarantee you that are fat,

692
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: poor excuse for a governor is worse than the king

693
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: running your state. That stuff. Have you seen our new

694
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: police reform bill? He says, it's absolutely terrible. Uh, he

695
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: complains about that, and then he wanted to get a

696
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: hold of my boss to complain about somebody we work

697
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: with here. He's he doesn't name him. I don't know

698
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: who this could be. Anybody, says a colleague who repeats

699
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: himself at least fifty times every show. Um, and he says,

700
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: so you don't, Rob and Chris don't, yeh, Jason and

701
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: Mike don't. Okay, who else repeats themselves? So if we're

702
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: talking money through Friday, Jonas doesn't, r J doesn't. So

703
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: these guys do four hours or original content and do

704
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: not repeat things they Yeah, I've done, Okay, all right, good? Yeah,

705
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know who he's referred to,

706
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: but he's, uh, he's very upset and you some some

707
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: terrible words there, and uh, yeah, anyway, he says he

708
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: will not name names, but just no, he is a

709
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: little fat piece of blank there you go all right,

710
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know who that could be. All right, pieces

711
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: of ship here. It's radio mash kidding, so simple, it's

712
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: the radio show. It's not that hard. Dave in Mill Valley,

713
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: California rights in. By the way. As far as the

714
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: police reform, uh yeah, the pendulum will swing back, you know.

715
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna unfortunately, it's gonna be half. There's gonna

716
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: be blood on the hands of these people because they're

717
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna send out their psychologists for domestic situations and unfortunately

718
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: a morbid prediction to gascon. Some of them are gonna

719
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: get killed, They're gonna get shot, and they're gonna be like,

720
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: we're not going we need police. So then what do

721
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: you do? You know? Good luck, you know, and it's

722
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: gonna unfortunately, it's gonna be that's gonna be what leads

723
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: to the change. It shouldn't be that way. People with

724
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: common sense would know that's gonna be the result. But

725
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna inevitably happen. And then you're gonna get the case, well,

726
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: we need the police and so but you would agree

727
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: that we get the world we deserve, like we get

728
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: in the world I want. Yeah, but we get as

729
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: a whole, we get exactly what we deserve. Well, there's

730
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: a lot of dumb people that don't don't think things

731
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: through as far as Actually, I had a conversation with

732
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: the buddy of mine other day who's who's in law enforcement,

733
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: and I said, here and here in l A they

734
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: voted out Jackie Lacey, who's a woman check, minority check, homegrown,

735
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: juicy l a grad check. And she's also a Democrat

736
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: chack check check. And you know why they voted her

737
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: out because she was not far left enough and they

738
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: voted in an old white guy. So identity politics only

739
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: work if you're drinking the kool aid. Jackie Lazy didn't

740
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: drink the kool aid, so it didn't matter if she

741
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: met all of the boxes that they love. She she

742
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: was useless to them because she didn't think the group

743
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: think that they think right wonderful, God forbid. She had

744
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: try to uphold the law and protect law enforced. I

745
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, man, I get I am. I live

746
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: in you know, technically l A County. I am considering

Speaker 1: can get recalled after ninety days. Yeah, how many signals?

752
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: Who do you have to get on that for news

753
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: you need? I think it's one point seven I believe

Speaker 1: the website. I think I have to sign something else.

757
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: But I mean on it. I want Gavin Newsom kicked

758
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: out of office, and I would love every second of it.

759
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: And I hope he goes to that French laundry and

760
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: eats a bowl of pasta and chokes on it. I

761
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: believe he would only be the second governor ever in

762
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: twenty three attempts to be recalled from the state of California.

763
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, not die, just choke. You know, eat

764
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: pasta sometimes and it kind of goes down the wrong way,

765
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: you know, just so for the people that take things literally. Uh,

766
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, a little awkward bite into the pasta. Yes, alright. Uh. Else,

767
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: we have Michael from Newtown Newton Township rather, I don't

768
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: know if he's in Michigan. I think there's a couple

769
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: of Newton townships. He might be in Pennsylvania. I think

770
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: there's more than that. But anyway, he says he's been

771
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: listening for ten or more years. How about that good job.

772
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: It's pretty awesome. Good job by you. That's a lot

773
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: of a lot of time, a lot of times that

774
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: there's a there's a great quote which I have stolen

775
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: from from Hawk Carrolson and when he retired as the

776
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: White Sox broadcaster, I do homages UH to Hawk Carrelson

777
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: because I gotta kick out. I'm watching White Sox games

778
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: on w g N back in the day, and you

779
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: know you can put it on the board. Yeah, Like,

780
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: I'll do that sometimes. But Hawk Harrelson said something, and

781
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, that when you take a man's money,

782
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: you take a man's money, but when you take a

783
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: man's time, you take part of their life. And that

784
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: that is I believe that. I mean that, you know,

785
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: and when you listen to UH show and you give

786
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: ten years of your life at least part of five

787
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: days a week or whatever it is, to listen, that's

788
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: that's meaning. That's more meaningful than money. I try to

789
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: teach you that games and you're you're very money. You

790
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: take my time. You take my time. Now, I try,

791
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: I try to explain you the podcast. It's it's it's

792
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: not all about monetary things. It's about giving back book

793
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: and like someone that's getting paid well off of it,

794
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: not getting paid well, not getting paid well at all. No,

795
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: not at all. I beg to differ. Oh, you can

796
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: beg the different all you want. Put that up the

797
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: old you know what I got the minets, I got

798
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: three seeds, all right. Anyway, um, this guy Michael says,

799
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: if you had won power Ball or Mega millions slash

800
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: billions with the recent drawings, would you have continued your

801
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: sports talk show. I think you would have. You know,

802
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: my life perspective has changed a lot recently because it

803
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: would happened with my parents. So I don't know that

804
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: I would. I would like to think I'm a worker,

805
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: so it's just I'm kind of wired that way, so

806
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: I would say yes, because it's not like a real job.

807
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: But I have been slapped in the face with how

808
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: short all this is. So I don't know. I don't know,

809
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: but I as of before the beginning of one, I

810
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: would have said, absolutely, I'm gonna keep working no matter what.

811
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I don't know. I think you would have.

812
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: I think you might have jumped platforms, but I still

813
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: think you would have. Yeah. Uh, Pete rights in from

814
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: parts and on. He says, where do I find Iowa

815
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: Sam these days? I misses Iowa Insider news. Oh my god,

816
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: Oh my fucking god. He as I heard i was

817
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: Sam still works with the company. I talked to him

818
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: the other day. I don't know what what is he referencing? Well,

819
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: because because Jonas on his shows on Saturdays with with

820
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks and myself and lead the lab, you know,

821
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: Jonas is forced name dropping. By the way, well, how

822
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: to pick any of those up? These are co workers.

823
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know who they are. Um,

824
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: Jonas is forced to never heard of them. Jonas is

825
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: forced to dedicate a segment to Iowa Sam so he

826
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: can give us all the news and information in the

827
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: world of sports out of the state of Iowa. It's

828
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: dreadful fucking radio. Yeah, it's awful. Iowa sucks. How do

829
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: you really feel cool al right outside the state of Iowa. Yeah,

830
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: but it's just a it's it's eight minutes of painful

831
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: Iowa talk. I had a lot of friends from Iowa.

832
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: I was not the biggest state in the world. But

833
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: I've met people over the years from Iowa and they're

834
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: always like, I'm not I'm stereotyping. It's a good stereotypes

835
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: of people. Don't mind it. This seems like generally good people.

836
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: Like I've not I've not met an asshole from from Iowa.

837
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure they exist. I'm sure there's a lot of

838
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: big assholes from Iowa, but I've not met them. I mean,

839
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: the people I've met have been like really cool people,

840
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: normal people that kind of get life and uh yeah so.

841
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: And also Minnesota, I've yet to meet an a whole

842
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: from Minnesota. Like everyone I've dealt with, whether it be

843
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: virtually on the radio or in person in my life experience,

844
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: have been some of the nicest people. I genuinely, I

845
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: feel genuinely good people. Maybe it's an act, but yeah,

846
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: some of the people that follow you from Minnesota are

847
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: kind of knobs. Well, I save the worst for last year.

848
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: Were gonna wrap up the mailbag on this one, Adrian

849
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: in the Mile High City. I hope you're prepared for

850
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: this guest, Deshaun Watson, because you're about to get a

851
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: tongue bath. He says, once again, I gotta give credit

852
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: words due tell the west of the four oh five

853
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: guy to stick around. Yeah. Then he proceeds to assault Kevin,

854
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: saying that Kevin was terrible. He was very upset. He

855
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: said he sucked at a time you cannot suck the

856
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: pop quiz portion of last Saturday's podcast. Yeah, Kevin was

857
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: not fully engaged in the podcast on Saturday. That is true.

858
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: Probably because you don't. It's probably because you intimidate a

859
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: lot of the young uns here. You're blaming me, Yeah,

860
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: you're you're I gave him airtime on a on a

861
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: big podcast. It's a little intimidating to give him airtime.

862
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: It's a little intimidating. It's a young, spry one. Am

863
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: I supposed to massage his shoulders? Maybe a little bit

864
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: be a little welcoming into the into the friend Oh no, no,

865
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: you gotta jump into the frying pan. No, you don't

866
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: just sliding. You gotta jump in the I get it.

867
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: You gotta do a belly whopper into the deep end.

868
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't put your toe in the kiddie pool. No,

869
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: you go into the deep end. You swim with a shark.

870
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: This is a different generation. You you can't you can't

871
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: lather them up with with sandpaper. You have to caress

872
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: them and kind of guide them into the into the

873
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: wide world. And you know, he might be the case.

874
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 1: So I think you're you're doing two things. You're attacking

875
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: me and him. No, no, no, that's good. I accomplished

876
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: two things on that I I do appreciate. But it's

877
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: also his fault because he's soft. I do appreciate tough love.

878
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: I come from the school of hard knocks. But you know,

879
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: this generation is a little bit different, man. Yeah, okay,

880
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: Well just keep in mind though every generation says the

881
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: generations below them are soft and weak and all that,

882
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: and Kevin's generation ten fifteen years from now will say

883
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: whoever follows them, the next generation is also weak and soft.

884
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: It is the circle of life. It is the circle

885
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: of life. And I learned this at a very young

886
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: age when I started covering the NBA in the early nineties,

887
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: and the players who played in the seventies and the

888
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: eighties said how soft and weak the players in the

889
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: nineties were, And they wore baggy shorts and they were,

890
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, gangsters. And how weak that was, and they

891
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: would rip these NBA players, and then those NBA players

892
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: in the nineties ripped the players in the two thousands,

893
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: and then the players in the two thousands ripped the

894
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: players in the next generation. And uh and so it

895
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: goes on. Yeah, but don't you think, like our parents

896
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: generation is probably the most important and or the strongest, toughest,

897
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: name you know, generation in our countries. I don't know, Well,

898
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: the greatest generation, they say, was the World War two generation,

899
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: but there's some parents generation. Yeah, well baby boomers, right,

900
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: is that what you're talking and the baby the baby

901
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: boomers a great generation. Tremendous change that took place in

902
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: their in their salad days in the United States, and

903
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: they were big part of that with civil rights and

904
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, wood stock and all the other things that

905
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: they were a part of in that time. But you'd

906
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: like to think every who's the worst generation? And you say,

907
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: who's the greatest? Who's the generation? What is the worst?

908
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: Is it? What's going on right now with cancel culture?

909
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: And it has to be something. It feels that I

910
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: know that's a myomic, myopic view, but it's certainly it

911
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: feels like that in the moment. Maybe it's just a

912
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: prisoner of the moment thing and it's not as bad.

913
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: But well, I just think about all these unimportant things

914
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: that are that are generally insignificant that are being made,

915
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, canceling people over irrelevant things. Uh, it's for

916
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: political reasons? Is this ridiculous? People are getting squeezed out

917
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 1: of social media because they have different opinions. And then

918
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: if you have a different opinion that doesn't go your way,

919
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: then you're labeled as something like you're you're labeled as

920
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: as a xenophobe, as racist, as misogynistic, as like an

921
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: all left or an all right, like you're labeled, you're

922
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: labeled in some category because of your stance or because

923
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: of your opinion. That's yeah, that's what it comes down.

924
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: Like the what's the latest guy recently been trying to

925
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: cancel the mike My Pillow guy, mich Lindell. Mind, I

926
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: did see he pointed out, which I thought was, I know,

927
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: people like to rip that guy, and he's he's an

928
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 1: easy target for some. But I I saw his interview

929
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: with Tucker Carlson and he went on a rant about

930
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: um hit groups. He said bots and trolls was I

931
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: think the quote that he used and say, what was

932
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: going on? Didn't they see that? That's the issue we

933
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: talked about. There's a lot of that like that, you know, cyborgs,

934
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: trolls and bots and all that that you don't know

935
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: what's real and what's not real. And it's, uh, it's

936
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: a wild time, man, it's a wild time. I'm good

937
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: with it. I'm good with the I'm good with labeling

938
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: this generation maybe the worst or at least this time frame,

939
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: because you still have a lot of older people that

940
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: are still trying to cancel people as well. And it

941
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: depends on how it's though, right, like who writes the history,

942
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 1: because you could also spin it. This is the greatest

943
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: time we started judging people not by their merit, but

944
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: by how they were born. You know, this is the

945
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: greatest thing in the world. Everything we went against, everything

946
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King strived for. Uh, yeah, it's it's tremendous.

947
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: Someone with high moral authority is gonna tell me how

948
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: good this generation was. Yeah, it's it's a pissing match

949
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: that I have. I have the moral high ground and

950
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 1: you don't, right, And uh, it's that it's the greatest

951
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: quote by Martin Luther King, who you know, were me

952
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: and you were we were a little a partner age,

953
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 1: but we grew up, you know, when we learned about

954
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: civil rights, and with Martin Luther King and his quote

955
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: about you know, he wanted to live in the day

956
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: where you are judged by the not by the color

957
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: of your skin, but by the content of your of

958
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: your character. And now the federal government wants you to

959
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: be judged by the color of your skin. It's fascinating,

960
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: it is outstandingly ridiculous. But but here we are, it's

961
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: like the it's like the microcosm of how we are.

962
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: Sports fans work where it's all tribal ism, like you're

963
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: you're a Bruins fan or a Trojans fan, or you're

964
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: a Lakers fan or Clippers fan. But now it's now

965
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: it's an everyday life. It's really read because the way

966
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: my parents taught me was to you know, kind of

967
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: follow that much for you know, judge. You don't just

968
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: judge people based on how they, you know, look to

969
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: You judge them by how they treat you. So I

970
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: have I've met complete schmucks who are white, black, Mexican you,

971
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down in the list, and I've

972
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: been really good people. But I judge those people based

973
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: on my interactions with them, not based on, you know,

974
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: just how their appearances. But I guess I'm outdated now.

975
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: I'm the old guy. All I need to have the

976
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,439
Speaker 1: John DECI is what I need to have a parent.

977
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: I need to have these preconceived notions and things like that,

978
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: because that's what you know, that's the that's the way

979
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: it is now. I question for because when you judge

980
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: these people, do you automatically go back into their Twitter

981
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: history to see what tweets they had from fifteen years ago?

982
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: Of course, no interest in that. Who cares. It's a

983
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: lot of wasted time. Life is short. Who cares? Seriously,

984
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: get off your ass and do something. Go out, You

985
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: go out and look at birds. She's like, yeah, look

986
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: at birds. All right, we gotta get out of here.

987
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: Look at out. This is the longest on the weekend

Speaker 1: New Day starts at midnight in your time. So at
