I've told 592 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: this story, but Jesse Ventura was the governor of Minnesota. 593 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: And Jesse was having a conversation with one of the 594 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: producers in the building and explained that politics and this 595 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: remember years ago, that politics is very similar to professional wrestling, 596 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: where the good guys and the bad guys have a 597 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: common bond. It's all for show that behind the scenes, 598 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: they all love each other and they hang out with 599 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: each other. They're all friends, and it's you know, they 600 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: break the fourth wall and all that. And that's that's 601 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: what it looked like. And it did remind me that 602 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: as much I know Trump just you know, he's going 603 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: to take over here in what eight days, but that 604 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: people loved him like he was friends with everybody before 605 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: he got into politics. 606 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: And oh yeah, and he was also the name that 607 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 3: was referenced by rappers and songs whenever they talked about 608 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 3: being rich someday and having money. 609 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: We love big men. Yeah, So it's like the I 610 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: think the term is kfab I believe is that what 611 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: it's called where you know, the portrayal of stage events 612 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: within professional wrestling, you know, is real. 613 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 3: Or could have been as simple as Obama nudging Trump 614 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 3: and saying, how'd you like that weekend at Burning's Act, 615 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 3: We pulled on you? 616 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah. Well Trump was going around saying like Obama 617 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: was not he was born in Kenya or something. I mean, 618 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: they've been they've been attacking each other, like Obama compared 619 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: Trump to Hitler, like you look at the history and 620 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: they're just, you know, buddy, couple of dudes, you know. 621 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: And I think the funniest part of that was was 622 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. I don't know who did the seating chart 623 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: at that thing, but they had a sense of humor. 624 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: So Kamala Harris comes in with her husband and she 625 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: made sure her husband sat closest to Trump, and I 626 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: think that they might have been telling a joke about that. 627 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: I think they might have been joking about that, but 628 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I did.

Right, wodn't that 668 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: be the way it would go? 669 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 3: Well, I would take the waitress and first feel her wrist, 670 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, have you ever seen the Ray Charles movie? 671 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 3: And then I would have her tell me the entire menu. 672 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all about the risk. That's all you got 673 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: to do.

You said this 676 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,720 Speaker 1: much on the podcast. Well, my father in law spends 677 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 1: most of the year. Well, he alternates from California to 678 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 1: North Carolina. So he spends you know, every every other 679 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: month in North Carolina in kind of like the Wilmington, 680 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: North Carolina area, and then where Michael Jordan grew up. 681 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: And then he lives in California part of the year. 682 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: My mother in law does live in California year round.

That this guy's pandiation anyway, So 685 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: this is imaginary, obviously, But imagine that your mother in 686 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: law was dating a fan of the show. How would 687 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: that make you feel? And if your mother in law 688 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: got married to the fan, would that make your the fan? 689 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 1: Your dad? 690 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 4: Who is this guy trying to be your daddy? 691 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: That's a little odd. It's a little odd, Daddy. 692 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 2: No. 693 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: I did have one flex moment years ago, I think 694 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 1: we talked about on the podcast, where I heard from 695 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: an ex girlfriend that I had not heard from in years. 696 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: It was one of those deals, Danny, where I was 697 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: into her and she wasn't really into me. You know 698 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. We've all been there, and I 699 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: was kind of into her and she didn't really feel 700 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: the same way about me. So it didn't last and 701 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: I and I, you know, she lived, you know, in 702 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: another state, and I hadn't really kept in contact with her. 703 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: Why would I? 704 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 4: You hadn't stopped her in years to say? 705 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: And she went on a date with a guy and 706 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: they one of the questions was what podcast? What shows 707 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 1: do you listen to? They were trying to make small 708 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: talk and the guy said my name and she freaked out, 709 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: and so that was kind of cool. But do I 710 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: want my mother in law to know? I think I 711 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: think we're good on that. Barry in South Carolina rights 712 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: then says yo yo Ma, Benny and Danny g Is 713 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: it just me? Or does it seem like all these 714 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: football announcers are yelling at me? And if it isn't 715 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: just me, why do these guys see the need to 716 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: do it? He says? Gus Johnson is the worst. But 717 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: seems like they're all screaming. You're yelling drives me crazy. 718 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: A far cry from Pat Summer All, Am I dating myself? 719 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: Well yeah, a little bit, Berry, But Danny isn't the 720 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: thing now. Now it's all about that viral moment. It's 721 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: hard to go viral if you're understated, like Pat summer 722 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: Ale was. You got to be over the top for 723 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: the kids, for the for the TikTok, Right, Danny, you 724 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: gotta be over the top. 725 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 726 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 3: And this is also the reason why there's criticism on 727 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 3: al Michaels recently, because it takes a lot to get 728 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 3: that guy excited. You don't want to announcer that's going 729 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 3: to overdo it for just a regular sort of play. 730 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 3: But you also don't want an announcer who sounds like 731 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 3: he's hitting the snooze button when it is a game 732 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 3: changing play that just happened. 733 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Al's Al's in his eighties now. He've been pretty mellow, 734 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: pretty mellow when he's doing the game right. He's modest, understated, 735 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: and for Al for one of these events, for al 736 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: Michaels to be a really big deal, Al's called the 737 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: biggest sporting events in the world. What's he going to 738 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: take for something to rise to the level? Not some 739 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,280 Speaker 1: random Thursday night game on Amazon between two dog food teams. 740 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 741 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 4: Who's the announcer who listens to our show?
