And then I told you 32 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: who it was, and you then read me the riot act. 33 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. Guy. You were so 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: uneducated on Peter Brown. It's a bad job by you. 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: You wanted to put some political guy on. What's up 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: with that? I I didn't know who we were going 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: to chat with today. I told you, and then you 38 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: were all flustered. Well, I know, I wasn't flustered. I 39 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: didn't know who he was. Well that's what I'm saying. 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a bad job by you. You 41 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: work in radio. You work in radio, you should know 42 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: the legends of the business. But that doesn't count. I 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: didn't know who Mike North was before I got to Fox. 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: I didn't know who you were until I got to Fox. See, 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: that's a bad job by you, because I that's we're 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: different that way. Like I always want to know in 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: my profession, who were the top people? Who do I 48 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: need to aspire to be and be better than you? 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: This is about it. This is about ambition. You are, 50 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: you were, I'm paid. This is a blacking ambition, bad 51 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: job by you. That is the case that I could 52 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: go through. Vince Gully, Bob Miller, Al Michaels, Harry Callis, 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: Jack Buck, Joe Buck. Oh, so you don't want to 54 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: be a talk show, you want to be in radio, 55 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: you want to be a play by play. Those are 56 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: the people I listened to when I was growing up. 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: I didn't listen to sports talk radio on the regular. 58 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: It was mostly listen to live live games. It's crazy, man, Wait, 59 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: why is that crazy? Because you you should know who 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: the top people are. But as you guys had mentioned 61 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: when you guys were talking the other day, he was 62 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: doing local radio. I didn't know Peter at a local level. 63 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: He was in what Wisconsin, Chicago? There was in Philly, Chicago, 64 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: stuff in Wisconsin at the end in Milwaukee. I mean 65 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: the same thing with Mike. Mike was in Chicago. Well listen, 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: I I didn't. I didn't. It was hard back in 67 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: those days. It was so hard. It was so hard 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: to hear these people. But there were ways you could listen, 69 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: even before the internet really took off. And now you 70 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: can listen to any radio show you want in any point, 71 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: at any point in time, every local show, every national show. 72 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: It's all streaming and it's available to you. It's at 73 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: your your your tips. But it wasn't like that, but 74 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: there were still ways you could listen. You had to 75 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: work for it. But I always wanted to. I always 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: wanted to hear the top people because I wanted to 77 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: be one of those people, and so I wanted to 78 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: hear what they sounded like. And then, uh, you know, 79 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: not that you copy those people, but you take what 80 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: you know you heard and then you make it your own, right, 81 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: and that I listened to a different, different crowd. Yeah, 82 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: play by play though you're still you're not giving up 83 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: that dream play by play, you're all about it. Well, 84 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean I'm covering several different platforms across uh fair, 85 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: So so what would you why don't you. Why don't 86 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: you go to what's the some college town and do 87 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: play by play and just live in a small college 88 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: town and do that and be the voice of a university. Well, 89 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: it's a little challenging to do that when I've done 90 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: it regionally here in Los Angeles and San Diego for 91 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: networks like Fox and ESPN. Yeah, so no, I understand, 92 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: But you could be like the big fish. I don't 93 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: want to in a small pond. I don't want to 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: do that. When you don't want to be a big fish, 95 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: you'd rather be a small fish in a big pond. No, 96 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: it's not that, but there's a there's a happy medium. 97 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: There's plenty of guys that are working at the regional 98 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: level that aren't I don't want to say a plus material, 99 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: but they're still getting work, you know. And I mean, 100 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: what are we doing another high school football game? Disco? 101 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to have you back 102 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: after you just decided to like shout on my face 103 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: because my my well, I was just trying. I'm giving you. Listen, 104 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: I am giving you positive no, no, no tough love. 105 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: That's old school. I know you can handle. I know 106 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: there's no confusion, and there's no there's no dishonored to that. 107 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: And I'm giving a constructive criticism. That's not constructive criticism. 108 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: If you want to give me a constructive criticism, you 109 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: would you would listen to you what I say on 110 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: air and say that was good, that was bad. I 111 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: would have said this differently. That's a great approach. All right, listen. 112 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: So you want me to be like you want me 113 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: to be a consultant, I am willing to be a consultant. 114 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Pay me. I will be a consultant. Small baby kit, 115 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: so you can be a big fish and a small party. 116 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm the guy who told you to go to West 117 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: Virginia did and China and China, Yes, guess got for 118 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: those are like David would text me like, hey, I 119 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: got this opportunity in West Virginia. You know. They'd send 120 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: me a picture of the city and it was like 121 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: all shacks and you know, just a bunch of hillbillies 122 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: and and all that. So no, no, you should go. 123 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: You should go and do it and make it your 124 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: own and all that, and wish you didn't do it. 125 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: Then you got offered some job at working Communist China, 126 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: and I said go to China. Come on, it's cheap 127 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: to live there. It's a big you know, that's a 128 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: big market. It's the biggest market in the world, China, 129 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: and more people live there than anywhere you can go there. 130 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: And it was an American voyages. We weren't gonna speak Chinese, 131 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: you were gonna speak English, but you'd be on television 132 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: there and you turned that down. Also, bad job by you. Yeah, 133 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: and while I've done that, I have I have kind 134 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: of morphed. So you've You've led me down two bad 135 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: paths and I can no.

Yeah, you advised me to take some 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: some bad paths. How about what did I advise you 141 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: to take? You told me to take Bluefin West Virginia. 142 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: What's wrong with this? Good people in Bluefin West Virginia 143 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: would have been under a contract for two years that 144 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: I couldn't buy out. Two years is nothing. Two years 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: is nothing paid eleven dollars an hour. That's pretty bad. Um. 146 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: And then well, in West Virginia, you'd be the third 147 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: richest guy in blue whatever town that was in western Bluefin? 148 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: Are you sure it was Bluefin?

Guest, con debt is 406 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: not really reality? You know why? Because I could die 407 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: and I'm not. Yes, the moment you die, your debt 408 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: goes to zero. You no longer have a debt. That's 409 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: not true. Really, how is that not true? How can 410 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: you pay off your debts when you're dead? Well know 411 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: someone will have to pay it off for you. So yeah, 412 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily. Not necessarily to say that you think these 413 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: politicians are worried about the U. S. National debt, for example, 414 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm not. Yeah, you think anyone says, maybe we shouldn't 415 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: spend that money because we don't want to have it, 416 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: and you think they ever ever?

There is a interloper, 443 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: an uninvited guest in the Mallard mansion. I mentioned this 444 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: also briefly. I will expand on it. Mentioned it briefly 445 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: the day on the radio. But I have an uninvited, 446 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: uninvited house guest, uh, and I've been unable to cut 447 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: them off at the past. So in the attic above 448 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion, I hear a critter or a varmint, 449 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: not sure which running amuck at night. I don't hear 450 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: during the day but at night, so I guess it 451 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: sleeps during the day, which means it's probably nocturnal. And 452 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: it runs around and does its thing, and la la 453 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: la la la la la la la, and and I 454 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: think it's working out for the NFL draft as much 455 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: running as it's doing here. It's training for the Olympics. 456 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: So I have to decide. And we mentioned this on 457 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: the show. What I have not made a final decision 458 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: here because we only mentioned it briefly. People were very 459 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: excited to give me their advice. Uh, but it is 460 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: concerning when I hear this. I'm doing the show and 461 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's one, two, three in the morning, 462 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: and I hear this thing running over my head. So 463 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: it's some kind of creature to be named later that 464 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: is running sprints and I'm running the forty running running around, 465 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: getting workout in. It's been going on for a couple 466 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: of weeks now, I think it's actually been about a month. 467 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: And I didn't hear My wife heard it, and the 468 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: family heard it, and I didn't hear it. And I 469 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: finally started to hear it. I guess the creature was 470 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: bothered that I didn't hear it. So now it's like 471 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: working right over the studio. It's like I gotta let 472 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: that asshole Mallard know that I'm here. And so, yeah, 473 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: and I don't know whether it's a rat. I don't 474 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: think it's a rat because it sounds bigger. But it might. 475 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just because the way the buildings designed. Could 476 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: be a squirrel. Eddie thinks it's a squirrel. Raccoons, how 477 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: about that could be that. It could be weed man, hippie, 478 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: could be weed man up there. But it's not skunk. 479 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: That'd be awesome. I did see a skunk on my 480 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: front launch. It could be a skunk. Well, why skunks 481 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: only shoot there? You know they're poisonous gas is when 482 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: they're scared. If it's not scared, what if it's a skunk, 483 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: it could you know? That's Actually that's actually a good 484 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: one because there was there was a skunk that I 485 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: saw several times around the house. It's possible it figured 486 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: out how to get into the attic and but how 487 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: how does it eat though there's no food there? Yeah, 488 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: that's a climb to I mean don't For people that 489 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: know don't know, you have a three story house. So 490 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: it's a big house. It's yeah, it's huge. May I 491 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: recommend guest and you go get some bifocals. If you 492 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: think I have a three story house, your jackass? What 493 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: are you a donkey? What are you gonna do? How 494 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: are you gonna exter? Well? I'm glad you asked, because 495 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: I have four options here, all right? Four options? Now. 496 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: Option number one is to take a piece of cheese 497 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: and put poison all over it and toss it up 498 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: in the attic and hope whatever is up there eats. 499 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: That's option one. That's the simplest option, just a brief 500 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: open of the attic, toss it up there, closed, the attic. Done. 501 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: The problem with that is if said creature critter varmint 502 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: eats the cheese and does die, I will then have 503 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: the stench of a rotting carcass in my attic that 504 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: I will be smelling until it finishes. It's the decomposing 505 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: So do I really want that? No? I do not want. 506 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: So that's option one, which is not Option A, which 507 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: is not a great option Option B. Now that I'm 508 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: the lean, mean Mallard record machine. I could go up 509 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: there with a flashlight and a baseball bat and investigate. 510 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm skinny enough. I can get up there and walk 511 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: around the attic and try to find out what's up there, 512 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: which is rather scary because of the unknown. I've never 513 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: been in the attic. I've had some people we've hired 514 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: to put things in the house that have gone up there, 515 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: but I've never gone up there myself. But we so 516 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: we can have somebody go up there and like me 517 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: and investigate and go full Rambo, put like battle armor 518 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: on and go to battle it, said creature. Uh. The 519 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: third option would be to hire a professional that's an 520 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: animal control company. Now that is like a expensive proposition 521 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: because I've heard this can get very expensive, very expensive 522 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: depending on what it is, and so that's a big deal. 523 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: You even want to spend that money. Now, the other 524 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: option I have, the fourth option, is to do nothing 525 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: and just hope that it leaves on its owner it dies. 526 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: That's the that's the fourth option. Now. I did get 527 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: a message from Tammy and Montana who said that I 528 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: can go to the Humane Society and possibly get a 529 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: rental cage that I could put up there. You know, 530 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: the kind of thing where the animal goes in and 531 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: it drops, you know, put the put the cheese or 532 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: whatever in there, and the creature goes in, and then 533 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: the cage clothes. I could do that. I don't really 534 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: know if that's a thing, if that's real. Tammy thinks 535 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: it is. So, so those are my options. I have 536 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: to decide what I want to do. I think you 537 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: need to get someone to come in for you, higher professional. 538 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: So that's what the west of the four or five 539 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: crowd would do. No, this is the advice I'm giving 540 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: you because things have gone wrong, and things have gone 541 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: horribly wrong for many of people. You don't need to 542 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: be climbing on a ladder to get up there only 543 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: to God forbid fall to your demise. What do you 544 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: think I want to fall through the roof and die. 545 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: You can fall on the ladder. You can fall through 546 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: the roof. There's no I have. I have my sensibilities. 547 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: I have not completely well. I know you think I'm 548 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: a thousand years old and I've lost it. I've not 549 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: lost it. But there's more bad things that can happen 550 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: than good things. Yeah, I think of a story though, 551 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: life's all about the story gets right didn't I tell 552 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: you that? Isn't that one of the lines? Right, That's 553 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: one of the profound things that I said. All right, 554 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: so if you go up there, then can you at 555 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: least have someone videotape you're going up there? Uh? Yeah, 556 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean I I could. There's a way. I still 557 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: have to eat the bull testicle, so I have to 558 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: take that first, and my wife has yet to procure 559 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: the bull balls, and uh but she's gonna have me 560 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: do it. I want you to know those are some 561 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: of you sending me message you're not actually gonna do it. 562 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: You like, no, uh now, I don't want to do it. 563 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, full disclosure. I want 564 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: to do it. But my wife thinks it's great and 565 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: she's unfortunately she's using my advice against me because I'm like, 566 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, listen, if we can't find it, we can't 567 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: find it, we can't find the bullballs, then not so 568 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: be it. But she's like, no, no, no, life's all 569 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: about the stories. So we'll pick up the story. I'll 570 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: do one. That's it deep Fried. Although I'm a little 571 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: concerned because our friend shell Shock, the truck driver, the 572 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: Great truck Driver, shell Shock who calls into the show 573 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: occasionally said that he did eat a bull testicle. No, 574 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: he said it was disgusting and even though it was 575 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: deep fried and breaded, just like I'm planning on doing. 576 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: But he said it didn't matter. He said it was 577 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: it was horrible. Yeah, And that's the problemcy Like, if 578 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know it was the testy of a bowl, 579 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: I might not hate it. But it's that lack of 580 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: of what do they say, cognitive dissidence. I know what 581 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: it is. I'm aware of it. If I didn't know, 582 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have an issue with it as much until 583 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: I because it's after. It's after the fact. This disaster 584 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: would have been completely avoided if Paul George had played better, 585 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard had made a shot in the second half. Yes, 586 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree with you. And now 587 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna worry about the Lakers winning an NBA title. 588 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that. No one's watching the NBA. Please. 589 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: The NBA has done Once the Clippers are out, people 590 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: stop watching. We all know that. And the Miami Heat 591 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: are gonna come back. He doesn't look like they're gonna 592 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: come back, but they're gonna come back. Don't sleep on 593 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: the heat. Do not do it because you'll get burned. Wow, 594 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: that's pretty original. Thank you. Speaking of which, I got 595 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: a Matt Stairs story for you. The great Matt Stairs, 596 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: the great Canadian fat Hope.

I was at that game, said yes, 598 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: I was sitting waiting. We were anticipating the Dodgers beating 599 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: the Phillies and they were gonna win the series and 600 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna go to the World Series.

Yes, well, you 651 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: keep wishing that, you know, you wish that into reality 652 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: and see if it happens. And you can add a 653 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: pinch of salt if you want as well, maybe that'll help. 654 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: That's one thing I forgot to ask Peter. I wonder 655 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: how often he actually listened or followed his producer, because 656 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: most that do and do not well. There are some 657 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: that are beholden to their producers and are absolutely helpless 658 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: without their producer, which is these are their these are 659 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: their confidants. It is amazing when you think about you 660 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: could have one of these jobs and be so helpless 661 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: without someone leading you. You have to be like on 662 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: a leash and your your dog owners carrying. It's wild. 663 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm amazed that people can rise to levels of success 664 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: and not have the just the I don't know ambitions 665 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: the right word, but the desire to do it with them, 666 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: them their leadership. And I'm saying this right, but it's 667 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: like they just the computers has to line everything up 668 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: and then rundown and it's like segment by segment and 669 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: it's like really not. Have you ever had a producer 670 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: that got in your ear and said you need to 671 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: talk about this as opposed to this. Oh yeah, I'm 672 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: been sure. I've had that in in the past. When 673 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: I was early in my career, I had a donkey 674 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: of a producer one time, who's if you don't want 675 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: to talk about this, just go home. He told me 676 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: to leave, told me to leave a show if I 677 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about what he wanted me to 678 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 1: talk about it. Didn't you send me a YouTube video 679 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: of a couple of hosts that we're doing that, oh 680 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: yeah in Philadelphia, and oh yeah, well there was one 681 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: in Texas, and there was one in Philadelphia. There was 682 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: a guy in Houston. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. It was great. 683 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: It was great. And it's like everyone in the business 684 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: that was a few weeks ago Funhouse had it on 685 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: his his side. But these two local yachts in Houston 686 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: are going back in worth and the one guy is 687 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: getting frustrated because he told the other guy to do 688 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: something and the guy's like, I'm trying to do it 689 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: right now, you know. And and so this is debate 690 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: who's wrong And I was the guy that was complaining 691 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: or the guy that was saying, I'm doing it right now, 692 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: And my I was always on the guy that was 693 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: complaining because that's one of them. We talked with Peter 694 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: about this. When you do a show with someone else 695 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: and they don't carry their end of the bargain. They 696 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: don't carry their weight. It is the most painful experience, right, 697 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: it's the most painful experience because there's gotta be this 698 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: level of synergy when you do a two man show 699 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: to make it work and two groups working together for 700 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: the better good. But then when you do it with 701 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: someone who's a lazy slack off in a stumble bum uh, 702 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: then the some of the parts are actually greater than 703 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: the whole. And that's not the way it's supposed to be, right, 704 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: if one person is doing it, the other person not, 705 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: and then it's so I totally emphasized to emphasize with 706 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 1: that that guy that was complaining because he told the 707 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: guy to do this, the guys, I'll do it during 708 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: the show. That's like the Shaquille O'Neil line from back 709 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: in the day, right, remember the great shock line when 710 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: he was playing for the Lakers. He got hurt and 711 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: then he waited right before training camp to have the surgery, 712 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: and he said, I got hurt on company times, so 713 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: I'll heal on company time. So that that's the mindset, 714 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: that's the lazy mindset of that talk. Traw host in 715 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: Houston was like, Hey, I'm only getting paid to do 716 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: the show. I'm not getting paid to prep, so I'll 717 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: just wait till i'm in here, and um sorry, I'll 718 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: float on the lazy river of mediocrity and I'll do 719 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: this only when I'm in the studio. And that's good 720 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: because you could usually identify those type of cats first 721 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: segment in five, eight, ten minutes in yeah, and then 722 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: you know if they've prepped or not. And then well, 723 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: it's like I always mocked every year the people that 724 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: have the audacity around the holidays. It's the Mallard Handbook 725 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving and Christmas Radio thanks Giving. Who would you 726 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: like to invite in sports dead or alive to Thanksgiving dinner? Right? 727 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: Who gets an extra helping of turkey? Who gets who 728 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: gets a small piece of of of mashed potatoes? What's that? 729 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: I was gonna say? Your top five Thanksgiving entrees or meals? 730 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,439 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, your side, your favorite Thanksgiving side dish, 731 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: call in right now. And then Chris Chris Diehearted Christmas 732 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: movie Yesterday, Christmas. Who's been naughty? Who's been nice? That's 733 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: always hilarious for Christmas. And it's it's just laziness, right, 734 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: It's just loafing lollygagging around. It's a chrome when I 735 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: hear a host do those kind of topics. It is 736 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: a chronic case of I d G F. You know 737 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: what that is? I d g A F A flying 738 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: fuck exactly, Big, exact mundo, correct the mundo. That's how 739 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: it is. So that Big said you better act your 740 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: fucking part on Wednesday. I bring it part. I bring 741 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: it every single day. I I have the gift of 742 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: hosting a radio show. Do you understand that the power 743 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: that that is, but really the responsibility. And I'm not 744 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: blowing smoke here again, I'm not whistling Dixie here. I'm 745 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: not like the the thing about when you owse the show. 746 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,919 Speaker 1: What's the most important commodity that you have the most 747 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 1: important commodity that you have? Your voice? No, your time, 748 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: if someone's willing to give you your time. I'm talking 749 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 1: about the listen. No, no, I'm talking about the listen. 750 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean. You can get more money. 751 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: You can you know, you'll lose money or get money. 752 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: You can make new friends, you can lose friends, but 753 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: you only get a certain finite amount of time, and 754 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: that you don't even know how much you get. You 755 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: don't even know how much you get, and if you're 756 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: willing to spend time listening to somebody and give up 757 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: your time, and that is a huge deal. And I 758 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: don't I don't just sweep that under the rug. I don't. 759 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: I think that's a big deal. So you try to 760 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: do a good job. Either that or maybe we can 761 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: come in and take it like a new Scanne and 762 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: then we can go out and you know, go have 763 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: a dinner somewhere or something.
