Speaker 1: Laugh with me?

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: So the podcast has been going for almost two years

34
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: your half.

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: Now, congratulations. What was the impetus to start it? Like,

36
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: what made you want to get into podcasting?

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: Well, I may not. I don't know if you think

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm looking young or not a lot of people do.

39
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just the red hair jeans. But I'm in

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: my forties. And when I was in college, I was

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: in radio communications and that was my like Gosha, and

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: I left that almost immediately after college just because I

43
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: kept getting promoted in the grocery industry and it was

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: just it was easy for my family, you know. It

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: was like, all right, I'm not gonna get moved around

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: and get fired because they want to switch the country

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: or you know, whatever whatever it is in the radio industry.

48
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: And so I went in the grocery industry and I

49
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: started running grocery stores, and then podcasting came around, and

50
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: I'm like man, I know I could do that. I

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: know it would be fun. It's something I could do

52
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: at home, It's something I could create. The format and

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: I want to worry about getting fired because the format switched.

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: I can far myself. I want to, And I always

55
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: toiled around in my head. Then in twenty nineteen, I

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: made the decision to just walk away from grocery altogether.

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: And takes a lot of the stories that I had

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: accumulated over the years working with people, working around people

59
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: at times again people, uh, you know, I've taken a

60
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: pepper spray to the face over a birthday, you know,

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: things like that. I was like, you know what, tell

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: these stories very dangerous. Finally do the podcasting thing. So

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: I jumped in and uh, you know that's been it's been.

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: It's been a few years now. So yeah, it's been

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 3: a lot of fun.

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Can you tell us about the cake pip? Yeah, prey

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: story happened. Happened with that.

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: From happy to for Real. So I don't know if

69
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: you guys felt the same thing. But like in twenty twenty,

70
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: when the world started to shut down a little bit,

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: you know, we've got COVID and all that. People people

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: lost their minds, and it was like face to face

73
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: with it at the grocery store. I mean people, if

74
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: it wasn't because of wearing masks, it was you know,

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: because of ours operation changing, if it was, you know,

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: whatever it was, there was something, and they were worked

77
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: up about it. And it got to a point where

78
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: then over the months of being home a lot or not,

79
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: whatever it was, people started to feel very entitled, and

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: it got to a point that people were just outright

81
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: filling grocery carts with the stuff. I mean people are

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: always choplifting, right, That's always a thing. I mean that's

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: been dealing with that forever. People were just filling up

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: carts and then just straight up walking out. I mean literally,

85
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: it wasn't even about hiding it anymore. I mean they

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: would wave on the way out like it was just

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: a whole thing, and so I would try to stop them,

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: you know, to an extent. I mean you have to

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: be safe. And then as things started escalating twenty twenty,

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: it became very unsafe to levels that we'd never seen before. Well,

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: this particular one, it was a grocery cart full. There

92
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: was a big old birthday cake on top, and this

93
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: lady she rolls right out and I'm like, hey, you

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: know you didn't pay for it. Let's bring the car

95
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: back in. She's like, now I'm good, and she starts

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: to go well, I put my hand on the cart

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: and I'm like, here's the deal. I'm taking my groceries.

98
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: I'm not calling the cops. Just we're not doing this today, right.

99
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: She turns around from her purse with pepper spray and

100
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: just starts soaking me.

101
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm soaking my face.

102
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: Now, I had turned my face because I could see

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: her pulling something out, so I was like, well, whatever

104
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 3: it is, I don't want to take straight to the face.

105
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: I turned my face. She gets all of this, but

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: at that time, I had longer hair because I was

107
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: going through a fase, you know, I had longer hair,

108
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: and so it kind of blocked a lot of that

109
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: pepper spray. But it was windy out and the wind

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: was taking my hair and it was just taking that

111
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: pepper spray, and I like, give me that cart and

112
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: I'm just frying that you know, buck spray. In the end,

113
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: she emptied the can. I could still see, so she

114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: knew she was in trouble. So she took off run

115
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: into the neighborhood, I got my cart, called the cops.

116
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: Was just like, here's the deal. I'm covered in pepper spray,

117
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: and I learned that in the process, you know, clean

118
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: yourself off or whatever, obviously, but it's the next day

119
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: that's the most dangerous because when you wash it again

120
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: the next day, it will reactivate. Oh and it will

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: then get in your ice. I didn't know that. Luckily,

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 3: that's I called the police. Because I debated calling the police.

123
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not fine. She ran away. I'm so

124
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: happy I did, because they warned me about it reactivating

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: and it was the next day.

126
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard you can like put her milk on

127
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: your face and your eyes and all that stuff to

128
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: help get it out. It's it's so interesting, uh, in

129
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: a couple of levels. We watched this show on Hulu

130
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: sometimes it's called a Customer Wars. Yes, and all of

131
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: this is a collection of videos of just people losing

132
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: their fucking minds and shit in like different places whatever, airplanes,

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: you know, like.

134
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: They have different themes.

135
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: Even more it's like travel and then it's like and

136
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: they got like you know, snarky announcer guy, you know,

137
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: like every day in the United States, four hundred and

138
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: seventy five thousand people get on the airplane. But the

139
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: amount of videos that are just straight up from the

140
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: last like two to three years, and it's like just

141
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: that period of the pandemic, like like not even really

142
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: before or after. It's just like this was a time

143
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: when the world was freaking the fuck out and going

144
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: to the grocery store to get your groceries could be

145
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: an adventure.

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Uh they And suddenly it was and you had to

147
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: face that. Yeah, I didn't even think about that.

148
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: People like we would we would have displays in the

149
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: front lobby, you know with like two letter pepsi, you know,

150
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: they bought the space or whatever. And people were just

151
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: taking razor blades and just slicing across. So now it's

152
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: just like explosion, a pop everyn you look back and

153
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: you're like, what do we do this guy and you

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: just you watch him go through the store. So just

155
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: going through the store, I mean, people were just causing mayhem.

156
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: And then like some of them didn't want to wear

157
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 3: a mask. You have to go up to them, Hey,

158
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: make sure you put on mask, and then they get

159
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: your face like we're gonna do about it. Like, I

160
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: mean personally, just tell you, right, I mean, if we

161
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: got to take it outside, we can't. I'm just gonna

162
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: walk back inside. But I don't want to tell you

163
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: this is not worth it.

164
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: And also like the rules because Karen and I worked

165
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: like public facing jobs.

166
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: We were waiters. I remember working in.

167
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: Uh this place is called the store was called media

168
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: Player's out of It, but it was kind of like

169
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: a best Buy before best Buy and so I remember

170
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: working there for retail for a Christmas and they straight

171
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: up told me in the training like, look, if you

172
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: see somebody still or something like the alarm goes off,

173
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: you can like say something to them, but like if

174
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: they like try to bust out the door, just.

175
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: Let them go.

176
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, uh, you know, like if

177
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: that's the job want or whatever. And they were like,

178
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: if you do go out the door and confront them

179
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 2: and it gets physical or something, we would we might

180
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: fire you.

181
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: We might call the police on you.

182
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: I was like, oh shit, well, I'm definitely not gonna

183
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: be employee of the month.

184
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: So when you went to.

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: Stop that grocery cart, where was any of that on

186
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: your mind? Like, man, maybe I'll be the one getting

187
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: in trouble, even though I'm trying to stop a theft, right.

188
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, that that definitely runs through my mind,

189
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: And certainly I would tell my staff, like, we're not

190
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: chasing them, you know, go buy the book, do this.

191
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: In that particular instance, they had just gotten to the door.

192
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 3: I generally can have an idea of whether or not

193
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: they're working with somebody, because sometimes they're working teams. Right,

194
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 3: this one was an instance where it was just the

195
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: one person, and I felt good about just grabbing the

196
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: cart and just having a conversation. I didn't want to

197
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: call the cops, but I would if I had to.

198
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: I certainly was caught off guard with the pepper spray can.

199
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: I didn't see that guy. But nobody's salt. And it

200
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: is in the training now, you know, don't don't go

201
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: out the door, don't chase some don't you know, have

202
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: any physical contact. I mean, over twenty years ago, we

203
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: did have an instance where there was a whole team

204
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: of us that would running through the door and chase

205
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: the shoplifter into the neighborhood. Damn door. It was a

206
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: whole thing. But that was a long time ago. We

207
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: certainly wouldn't do anything today.

208
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: When I worked at Media Play.

209
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: I remember one time the security i mean the manager

210
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: ran out after this is after they instructed me not

211
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: to by the way, and he put me He put

212
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: me by the door as like some type of deterrent.

213
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: But like I you know, the training, I'm not like,

214
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: I'm not a real I'm more like a oh that

215
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: thing beat uh let me see. Uh okay, the tag

216
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: is still on it. Let me go take the tag

217
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: off for you. That's really the extent of that job.

218
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: But like someone did steal something and he hauled ass

219
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: out of the front door, like chasing him like it

220
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: was a cop movie, like he was gonna get the suspect,

221
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: and he ended up like wrestling with the guy in

222
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: the parking lot, and the manager got beat up, and

223
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: then he came. And that's one reason why you don't

224
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 2: go out there, right. And then the second reason is

225
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: because of my dark humor.

226
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: I was just laughing.

227
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: I couldn't stop laughing, Like I was only in college,

228
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: and maybe I'm still not sure I couldn't. I could

229
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: stop laughing now, but I definitely couldn't at the time.

230
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: And I mean I was just making it worse. I

231
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: was trying to I was like, wait, did you just

232
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 2: get beat up outside? He's like, we got to call

233
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: the police.

234
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 4: I was like, why'd you go out there?

235
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 2: Like you said, we can get fired for that? You

236
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: sure you want to call the police and you might

237
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: get fired or something.

238
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: He's like to be on the record. Man, it was

239
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: just so funny.

240
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: But yeah it is, but it's so heatd the moment too,

241
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: Like it's not the training and all that stuff. It

242
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: sounds good on paper because or on the video because

243
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: the video's perfect, right the.

244
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: Videos, Hey, I'm stealing this thing. No you're not. Okay,

245
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: I'll put it back. Sorry, you know, but that's not

246
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: how it.

247
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: By the way, they have never said, oh you got

248
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: me and.

249
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 4: Then yeah, you know, I said, my bad, I'll put

250
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 4: this back on the shelf. And the thing is, you're

251
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 4: talking about people and customers doing COVID. I remember when

252
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: things kind of started reopening back up because me and

253
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 4: Rockie State shut in for a while. So it probably

254
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,119
Speaker 4: was like twenty twenty one, like after the vaccine vaccines

255
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: came out, we started kind of slowly going to places.

256
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: But when we did, we ate outside. You know what

257
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying, and things like that, and I didn't realize

258
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: how bad it was until everywhere we went, all the

259
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 4: people that served us was like, oh my gosh, y'all

260
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 4: so patient. Like we would go to places and they

261
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: would like give us shit for free because they.

262
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Was like, we're not taking crazy.

263
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: We weren't being any different than we normally were, right,

264
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: we were like before or after the pandemic. Were you know,

265
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: you're patient. You know the puzsy worked in the certain time.

266
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: So we understand, like I around it, but I owed

267
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: they're booked or they do it like I can kind

268
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 4: of observe and see.

269
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of stuff drove people a

270
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: little crazy. When we got our vaccinations for COVID, like

271
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: and we still keep up with them.

272
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: We still like get them every year or whatever.

273
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: But even this year, which is I mean it's five

274
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: years after the pandemic, but I mean after whatever you want,

275
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: but it's five years later since the vaccines came out,

276
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: and the guy this year was thinking us it was like,

277
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: oh my god, you don't know how crazy people can

278
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 2: give about this vaccine stuff. I was like, still like yeah,

279
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: because like either they get it or they don't. Like

280
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: who's fucking coming in the grocery store to argue with

281
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: you about vaccines in twenty twenty five, man, that ship

282
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: is sealed and complain because.

283
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 3: It's never changed. It's just moved on and that's the

284
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 3: way it is now.

285
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 5: Yes, and it was.

286
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: It was while having that conversation with their pharmacist because

287
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: I was just saying common sense stuff. I was like yeah,

288
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 4: because at first we went and they was like, you

289
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: can get your We can get one shot because we

290
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: do our flu in COVID shot at the same time.

291
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 4: Because I was like, I'm not making two appointments and

292
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: so they was like, well you can get one. They

293
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,080

00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: get the flu shot don't mean you won't catch the flu.

297
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: And that dude looked at me like, oh my gosh.

298
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: I don't know how many times I told people that,

299
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: like like.

300
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,320

Speaker 1: believes this. Everybody nobody believes me when I tell them that.

308
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: It don't mean you won't get sick. It just means

309
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: you're getting less sick.

00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,000

00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.

314
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, all right, I'm like, man, what news

315
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: shows I'll be watching? Also, uh, I remember the other

316
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: thing I discovered when I worked at media Play and

317
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: now I was in like lost Prevention or whatever for

318
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: a little bit.

319
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: They also write off so much of the shop insurance.

320
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: I think it's called like shrinkage or something, so like

321
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: they haven't insured, Like so I was extra like, oh,

322
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm not dying from Media Plays, Beatles Collection, Christmas cit

323
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck, y'all, I'm.

324
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 5: A dying and y'all gonna write the ship out. That's

325
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 5: fucked up. Man.

326
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say it's not every company, but a

327
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: lot of those bigger companies, like the ones the grocery

328
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: stores I was working for, they were self insured so

329
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: as much as that stuff was getting covered, a lot

330
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: of it wasn't and it was just coming out to

331
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: the bottom line and as the store managed, or it

332
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: did impact right going after some of those shoplifters for

333
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: some things, was did have some personal gain there because

334
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: I was looking out for my paycheck right now. I

335
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: don't want my team doing that. It does not impact them.

336
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: That's still that's so weird that the incentives are set

337
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: up that way. Like, that's so weird. Did they set

338
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: up the incentives that way to be like it comes

339
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: you know, it's gonna about it's gonna affect your numbers

340
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: as a manager, because I know when I was a waiter,

341
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: some some companies would do this thing where like if

342
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: someone dies and dash, they try to take it out

343
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: of your check, or if someone breaks it like you

344
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: drop dishes and they're like, you need to pay for that,

345
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: And I was like, that just feels like the cost

346
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: of business. That's like, that doesn't feel like a me

347
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: personal failing.

348
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: That shouldn't impact you. That's just then trying to pass.

349
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 4: The Yeah, that's just trying to pass the expense.

350
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: And the other thing you reminded me of I just

351
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: recently watched this movie called Eddington. We're North Carolina film critics,

352
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: so like we got these screeners for all these movies

353
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: and stuff at the end of the year to watch

354
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: the to just that's.

355
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: The one with the little British bear right.

356
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: Now, that's Paddington. Yeah, I heard that's good.

357
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: I haven't done. I haven't seen that. I heard that's

358
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: I heard that's Flamestyle. But Eddington has uh Pedro Bascal,

359
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: Joaquin Phoenix. Yeah, the cast is crazy, but it's it's

360
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: essentially just a movie about how crazy everybody got during

361
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: the pandemic, and it's uncomfortable to watch because it's not

362
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: that long ago, like like like they have all the

363
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: stuff you're talking about, like like the guys going to

364
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: this grocery store and being like, I ain't gotta wear

365
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: no mask, I can't breathe, and I'm just like this

366
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: is is this triggering me?

367
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 5: What the fuck is Like?

368
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: It's this bothering to me?

369
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's like it's not like it's weird to say,

370
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: but like if I watched like a civil rights film

371
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: from like the sixties or something like, well.

372
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: That was a long time ago, you know, people were

373
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: different or whatever.

374
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: You know, maybe not as different as it feels today,

375
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: but still like you can like put it like this

376
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: is in black and white.

377
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: This shit was like, nah, that was Tuesday that people

378
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: was acting like that. They were acting the food yesterday.

379
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: Also with the I say you saw you say you're

380
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: a comedian as well.

381
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: How were you doing comedy as well as working in

382
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: the grocery industry or is that something you started afterwards?

383
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: So it was something that started afterwards. So in twenty

384
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: nineteen when I left, because I was working for this

385
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: company from the time I was fourteen, so it was

386
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: like twenty years of service. And when I walked away,

387
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: I was like, I need to do something different. I'm

388
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: gonna I'm going to start to create this podcast and

389
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 3: kind of see where that goes. So I started the

390
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 3: process of creating it. But at the same time, I've

391
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: always liked the idea of being able to go on

392
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: stage and do something. You know, In high school, I

393
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: was in this is like nerdy, but I was in debate,

394
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: and I really I didn't so much enjoy the research

395
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 3: and the homework side of debate as much as I

396
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: enjoyed the competing and the being in front and just

397
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: talking and battling head to head with somebody. I really

398
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: enjoyed that, and I was like, well, I could take

399
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 3: some of these stories and maybe I can take that

400
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 3: to the stage and make people laugh. I really enjoyed

401
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: making people laugh, and so yeah, I started. So that

402
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: was right then, right at the beginning of twenty twenty,

403
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: and I started to kind of learn what that's like

404
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 3: and see what that looks like, and then see how

405
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: I could parlay that into the podcast and just kind

406
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: of go from there.

407
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: We were you the funny guy at work or like, like,

408
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: did you have any inclination to be like, yeah, this

409
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: is what's next for me.

410
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: I want to talk and make people for a living. No,

411
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: I was.

412
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: I was certainly the funny guy work. I would when

413
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: I was growing up. This was obviously before I was

414
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: the boss, but when I was growing up and you know,

415
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: working in like dairy. Some nights I'd have to go

416
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: work produce, and I'd be like, you know, what's messed

417
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: up that that that Dave gets to go to dairy.

418
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: I like dairy and I'm in produce. So I would

419
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: go into the dairy cooler and I would just like

420
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 3: hang like a bag of potatoes or something from the

421
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: middle of the cooler and he would you know, so

422
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: I guess today people would think that's threatening, but I

423
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: just thought it was funny, right, And so he would

424
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 3: walk in and he would see the bag of potatoes

425
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: and be like, oh, Jeremy, or I would park a cart,

426
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: you know, lodge them into the cooler door and just

427
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 3: try to help do something, and he's stock. I don't know.

428
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: It was just always trying to you know, take a

429
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: block of dry ice when somebody's doing like dishes in

430
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: the three compartments sink and drop it in their water

431
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: and suddenly there's just smoke everywhere from the dry eyes

432
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: like that. When I when I was up front checking,

433
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: this was before I was old enough to ring up

434
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: alcohol for customers. You know, you'd have to page the

435
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 3: manager and you would just you get on there and

436
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: you just say, like, you know, Tom to register six

437
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: for nineteen, because you had to be nineteen to ring

438
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: up alcohol. And I would go on there and I'd

439
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: be like nineteen to register and I would just hold

440
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: I would just pause for a good fifteen twenty seconds,

441
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: which is a lifetime on the yes it is, and

442
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: say say where they needed to go. I don't know,

443
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: just thotle things like that.

444
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: But meanwhile, the customer is probably sweating bullets, like what

445
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: does this mean?

446
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: What does that call me? Why is it taking them

447
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: so long to do? I just want my alcohol.

448
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. What I learned in that process was what's funny

449
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: to me? Is it funny to everybody? Oh?

450
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean absolutely travel error.

451
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: You know, I had to kind of evolved that quite

452
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: a bit, but uh so, yeah, no, that's just kind

453
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 3: of I guess a few examples.

454
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, I used to when I would play back when,

455
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: back before the pandemic, when everybody was playing basketball together.

456
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: I used to play basketball a lot, like four or

457
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: five times a week, and you know, between games, when

458
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: you're sitting, you know, you're making jokes, busting you know whatever,

459
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: You're just talking shit, and everyone saw somebody be like, man,

460
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: you a comedian or something. I'm just like, nah, I'm

461
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: working logistics. I'm like, maybe this is a hint I

462
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: should be trying to do something with this. People keep

463
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: asking me that. But the other thing, too, is when

464
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: you got into comedy, were there was there any crossover

465
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: between like people that knew you as grocery guy and

466
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: then people going, oh I saw him at the comedy club,

467
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: or I saw I heard this podcast or anything like that.

468
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: Actually, what I had was people started to hear that

469
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: I was, you know, out and uh hitting and doing shows,

470
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: and they started to get nervous. If if they knew

471
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: me from the grocery side, they were like, well, is

472
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 3: he gonna bring up a story about me? And say

473
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: like right. So then the people I worked with were like, oh,

474
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 3: I don't want to go there and then get roasted

475
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: or something like. I would would hear that from some people,

476
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: and I'm like, guys, you're good, Like I'm not here

477
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: to bring anybody down. I'm here to make people laugh,

478
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: and if you were going to be part of the show,

479
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 3: I certainly want to tell you that, you know, right.

480
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: So they started getting nervous. I don't know if they

481
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: were just what.

482
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: You know what I blame I blame. I blame uh

483
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: social media with.

484
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: When the crowd work stuff started going too viral and

485
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: so it started looking like you go to comedy shows

486
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: and then they just ask you about you or whatever,

487
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 2: which is not true, Like it happens a little bit,

488
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: but not Yeah, it's not like some you walk in

489
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 2: the room and now everybody's up fair game. Like most

490
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: comedy comedians planned a set. They have a bunch of

491
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: jokes they've been working on. They got a bunch of

492
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: shit they like to do that has nothing to do

493
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: the agenda. Most like, whatever crowd work they are doing

494
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: is mostly just to like show you guys, I'm live

495
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 2: and I'm present.

496
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: This is real comedy that's happening now.

497
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 2: But but like I really do wonder if, like when

498
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: we were all stuck in the house, everyone's looking at

499
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 2: their phones. They're like, I'm not going to comedy club.

500
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: Matt Rife's gonna fucking ask me if I'm cheating on

501
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: my wife.

502
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 5: No, thanks, right, that.

503
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: You nailed it, because crowd work is so fun to

504
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: watch online. It's just, you know, it's so fun for

505
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: you to just grab somebody and be like, oh yeah,

506
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. But it's so not part of the

507
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: show at all. And it's hard, right, And Matt Rife

508
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 3: has made a whole career of it, which is kudos

509
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 3: to him, but it's just so.

510
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: Not the bit so yeah, and it's and it's hard

511
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: I think too, because like I remember watching Matt rice

512
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: first Netflix Dance UH Special after he had gone so

513
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: viral for CrowdWork, and in it he wasn't doing that

514
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: much CrowdWork.

515
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: And the response, you know, a lot of the responses

516
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: like what the fuck you mad, like like I don't

517
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: even like these jokes?

518
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 4: Like was he?

519
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, because because you can't plan

520
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: crowd work, like.

521
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 4: You can't likeeous.

522
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he would have basically had to be taking

523
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: a huge risk with his special to be like, I

524
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: hope some funny people are here tonight that uh, I'm

525
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: willing to put on, put in into the world forever

526
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: trapped in this one hour of a special. I was like, nah,

527
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 2: he's gonna go back to try to do some jokes now.

528
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for him, there were people that are like, I'm

529
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: not here for the jokes.

530
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: So he's catching it both ways.

531
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: That you know, you got the CrowdWork people that are

532
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 2: mad that he's not doing CrowdWork, and then you got

533
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: the people that are like I thought he would be

534
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: doing like a different type of material that he's doing.

535
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think social media really changed like comedy

536
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 2: for a lot of people.

537
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 4: I do too, and I think it it made it

538
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 4: difficult for all parties involved, because, like you say, it's

539
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: gotta be for the audience member. You go, I come

540
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 4: to a comedy club. I didn't come to be pick

541
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: quote unquote picked on because a lot of people look

542
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: at crowd work as you directly picking on them versus

543
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 4: you actually being in on the joke.

544
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: And also, when you do.

545
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 4: CrowdWork, everybody not funny, so you as a comedian has

546
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: to have to have to work around non funny people

547
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 4: sometimes and turn it into funny. Which is which is

548
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 4: a talent.

549
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, which brings me to the title of your podcast,

550
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: laugh with Me, which is it feels like the w

551
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: is even though it's lowercase, but it's emphasized. Yes, shot

552
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: proprogrammar but it feels it's like, I'm not doing this

553
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: show to just like shit on everybody else. It's like,

554
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: let's have a good time, let's find what we find funny.

555
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: What was the the impetus behind, you know, using that

556
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 2: as the podcast format.

557
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 3: Well, as you can see, I've got red hair, and

558
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: so I've grown up with I guess a thick skin

559
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: because I've had a lot of people with a lot

560
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: of jokes that they've had themselves about me for no

561
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: other reason than just maybe I look a little different, right,

562
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: And that's the start of it. And then I'm also

563
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: just this little skinny, nerdy, you know kid. So there

564
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 3: was all these things you grow up with. Everybody has

565
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: their their story, right, Mine was that. And as I

566
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: was getting older, and then I wanted to make people

567
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: like laugh. It was like, man, I've never enjoyed people

568
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 3: laughing at me because that sucks, and I want my

569
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: kids to grow up not feeling that way. Right, And

570
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: it's like, but I love it when they laugh with me.

571
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: Like that's a community, Like, that's that's fun, and that's

572
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 3: something that can spread, and that's something that we can

573
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: all really not embrace, but really can relate to. You know,

574
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: we've been in that room with our friends or family

575
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 3: and just laugh together and have the best time. Yeah,

576
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: that's the environment I wanted.

577
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: And there's a beautiful thing.

578
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: There's a beautiful thing that happens when you laugh together,

579
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: which is that even when you're laughing at me, we're

580
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: laughing together at me, you know what I mean. Like

581
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: the trust. I always say, like trust is the hardest

582
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 2: part of comedy, of pretty much of even podcasts and everything.

583
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: Like trust is what you build with your audience and

584
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 2: stuff because you want them to have a level of

585
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: like leeway, like letting you experiment, letting you cook. It's

586
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: the difference between like going to a comedy club or

587
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: watching a set on social media or something.

588
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: Right Like in the comedy.

589
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: Club, we all have agreed we spend our money to

590
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: hopefully laugh. We know you're gonna try to make us laugh,

591
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: and that is the undercurrent of this whole thing. It

592
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: might not work out, but that what we agreed to

593
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: is we trust you enough to give you our money

594
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: to go make me laugh.

595
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 5: And I think.

596
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: Even in situations like this where like like you said,

597
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: you're you grew up your red head, your skinny people.

598
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: I grew up nerd glasses, all that stuff. Karen got

599
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: the super country accent, you know. But if we all

600
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: kind of having fun together, it's like, oh yeah, when

601
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: you make a joke about my accent, that's not that's

602
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: not gonna hurt me the way that it would hurt

603
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: me if you just walked up to me on the street.

604
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: And was just like what's up with your accent? Or

605
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: it's like whoa fuck you?

606
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: So like I definitely feel you on that. I think

607
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: that's such a great vibe of laughing with me. And

608
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: I think it's a choice to say that now, because

609
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: I think a lot of there's a come of divide

610
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: in like all these media spaces, especially under the aspices

611
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: of comedy, where it's like some people have staked there,

612
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, put a stake in the ground of like, no,

613
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: I want to be able to pick on people. That's

614
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: the real freedom speech is fucking telling people how, you know,

615
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: offensive shit and they better not say nothing back, and

616
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.

617
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: Getting mad and what like. It's kind of dope to

618
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: to say, nah, that's not what we're doing over here.

619
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the folks that are doing that, who are saying,

620
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: you know, my style comedies is just the pick on people.

621
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: I hope the people who do go to those shows

622
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: have fun, right because they know what they're getting themselves into.

623
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: Like you were just saying, you know, you know what

624
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: the deal is, but at the same time, you just

625
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: you never know what people are well. Also, that's like

626
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: the hardest.

627
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: Thing for those comedians.

628
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: I think the hardest thing for people to understand outside

629
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: of that is like in their spaces, those people are

630
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: funny to those crowds because there is an understanding of like, oh, no,

631
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna do this thing.

632
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: What really changed comedy was the rest of us all

633
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: getting to know stuff that we weren't in the room for.

634
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: So Like I remember the first big controversy I remember

635
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: from social media was Tosh point zero Daniel toje. He

636
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: did like a set and then someone basically like typed

637
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: his set out and posted it on the internet, like

638
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: look at this shit, and everybody's.

639
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: Like, fuck this guy, No one should ever go watch

640
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 5: this stuff.

641
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, in the room, everyone knows he's joke.

642
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: Like that what you just wrote as an essay, that's

643
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: not the same you had, Like he gave a ted talk,

644
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: like he got up there. It was like, my name

645
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: is Daniel Tosh, and I have some very serious things

646
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: to say that.

647
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, this has changed everything forever.

648
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: And now it's almost like your throwback comedian if you're

649
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: not playing to the social media audience like you kind

650
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 2: of almost it's almost become the job for a lot

651
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: of people to you got to have something to put

652
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: on the Internet. There's very few comics who are like, man,

653
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: all I do is just show up to the club,

654
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: do my thing, and go home.

655
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: It's like, unless you like super rich. Yes, very like

656
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: you can't afford to be that kind of comedian anymore. Yeah,

657
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: And it's also flipped because.

658
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: Ahead I said, it's also flipped because years ago, when

659
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 4: the Internet first started, people like, don't put your stuff

660
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 4: out there, you're gonna like like like it almost went

661
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: from one extreme to the other, if that makes sense,

662
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 4: because at one period of time, it was so coveted

663
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: you your jokes, you don't want to waste them.

664
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: They're precious to you.

665
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: To now the crowd work thing came in because people

666
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 4: didn't want to put their jokes out there like like that.

667
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: I really think that's why crowd work went through the

668
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 4: roof and they go, yeah, I'm doing forty five minutes

669
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: to an hour, but what I'm gonna give you is

670
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 4: the jokes.

671
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: This not on the set, right yep.

672
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: And that was I was just about to say that

673
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 3: was you used to never put anything out there until

674
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 3: you were gonna put you know, present your hour or

675
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: half hour on comedy Scent or something. And then now

676
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: it's if I do a set tonight, if I don't

677
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: have a clip from that, you know for tomorrow, was

678
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: it worth it? You know?

679
00:32:59,160 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 5: Did I do it?

680
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: Enow to help the fan base then and and that's

681
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: just how it is today.

682
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, a dude.

683
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: Same thing with podcasting. When podcasts started, it was audio only,

684
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: Like Karen, Karen and I were just doing like this

685
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: thing you'll uploaded to the internet.

686
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: People listen to it. They don't even know what you

687
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: look like. Yeah, we got jokes.

688
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 4: But when we first got a sound boll when we

689
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 4: first started doing videos and things like that.

690
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: First taken first started taking calls on the air and

691
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: having guests, like I remember all that, like we were

692
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: rigging that ship. That was not none of this ship

693
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: was designed to do what it does.

694
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: No, now it's seamless, it's in the computer.

695
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 3: You got apps nowhere.

696
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 4: You know, you take a phone put you know, put

697
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 4: put it by the by the mic, and.

698
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully y'all can get a voice. Yeah, but it is

699
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: it's the old way.

700
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: Do you miss the excitement of we got to figure

701
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: it out. I do think different things talking.

702
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes, Like I mean, obviously I like the ease of stuff.

703
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: Now I'm I'm still not really here for video podcasting,

704
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: but just recognize it's something you kind of have to do.

705
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: I kind of And maybe that's the purest in me

706
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: where it's just like that's kind of fucked up that

707
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: like video just comes in.

708
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: It's like, now, this is what a podcast?

709
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 5: It's like, No, that's not I liked.

710
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: It better when these were called vlogs or whatever the

711
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: fuck we were calling them before. But okay, that's I'm

712
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: not gonna fight. I'm not gonna be old man fighting change.

713
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: But but yeah, it's been interesting to watch it all change.

714
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 2: What I what it was cool was and I'm pretty

715
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: sure we were among the first, even if we weren't

716
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: the first, but we were among the first people to

717
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 2: kind of figure some of this stuff out, like being able.

718
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: To record with a guest who wasn't in your studio.

719
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: We had on the phone via Skype, and we just

720
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: had this thing rigged to record so many different ways.

721
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: Those things were like fun and those like we were

722
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 2: definitely building the plane because we started to show like

723
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: sixteen years ago, so we were like building up. Yeah,

724
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: like they didn't have a thing for We were just

725
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: like we would just re racking our brains, like I

726
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: think there's a wane Yeah, if we take a blue

727
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 2: snowball mic and then we use our computer speakers that

728
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: come with the monitor. We turn it up just right

729
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: so it's not not feedback, but it's not going to like,

730
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: but the audience should be able to hear it. Later

731
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: we might be able to do something with that. And

732
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: then every once in a while you know it works

733
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh shit, we did it.

734
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: And also what I realized too, they're pluses and minuses.

735
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: I think the one of the biggest pluses about when

736
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: we started you had to learn some of the fundamental

737
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 4: things about podcasting, Like you had to know what the

738
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 4: RSS feed like, you had to like you just had

739
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 4: to know certain things.

740
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: And now it's easy, which is good.

741
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 4: But if something happens and people have to kind of

742
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 4: go to the fundamentals, they have to pay oh.

743
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's certain like that, there are certain things nobody

744
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: can take from us because literally we started.

745
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: It, you know what I mean.

746
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: So like there's podcast it's funny to be in such

747
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: an old podcast, but like listening to people come into

748
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: the game and you know, like all things, it becomes

749
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 2: work and people complain about work.

750
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: It's just life.

751
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: But sometimes people complaining and they're like, oh god, this

752
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: is just so hard, or man, do I even want

753
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: to do this today? And I'm like, Okay, you have

754
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: a team, you have a marketing department. You guys have

755
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: like a somebody who was like setting up your equipment.

756
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: All you did was walk in the studio.

757
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: You can't fake it for an hour that you're like,

758
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 2: people are waiting to hear what you have to say

759
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 2: for what one time a week, not even like you're

760
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: doing this shit every day. You can't just be like, man,

761
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: listen for an hour, Hey, how's it going. I'm doing

762
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 2: a project. And it was like, so like on those

763
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 2: levels I think have being old being old school does

764
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: kind of like affect the way we view things, but

765
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: it can also mean that sometimes we're behind the curve

766
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: because it's like, hey, guys, we're putting clips on social

767
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: media now.

768
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't do that ship.

769
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: That's not it's not how we did.

770
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 4: A kid when I was growing up hollering at the

771
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 4: clouds because it took us for ever to get on YouTube,

772
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: because that was like get on YouTube.

773
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: I was old.

774
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 5: That was me. I was like, that's not a goddamn podcast.

775
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 3: What do we doing?

776
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: Your kids in your tickety texts and your face and

777
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: your face bounds or.

778
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 4: Whatever the fuck your tickety talks, but it took us

779
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 4: a while we made.

780
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: I also saw in your podcast you talked about doing

781
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 2: a roast battle. Now as a laugh with me person,

782
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: how is it possible to do a roast battle and

783
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: how do you keep your feelings from being destroyed? Because

784
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: I've seen some of these roast battles out on the

785
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: streets and I ain't got it in me man.

786
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that that's interesting. That's actually a good question

787
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 3: because it's a complete opposite a lot of just said.

788
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 3: But the thing is, the roast battle is such an

789
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 3: art and there's it's a style of comedy that is

790
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 3: strictly meant to entertain with no feelings to be hurt.

791
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 3: So I want like bring bring the heat, you know,

792
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 3: bring the cutthroat. Like as long as the audience laughs

793
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 3: or whoa or whatever it is gets an emotion to

794
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 3: some type, we did our job, and we shake hands,

795
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 3: we move off. Now, this particular, this was my first

796
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: roast battle. I'd never done before. I'd always wanted to

797
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: do it, and it was like a tournament. And this

798
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: particular one, I thought because my show was everyone knew

799
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 3: me from my podcast, but it was like it was

800
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 3: kind of wholesome ish. So I thought funny if I

801
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: came up with some jokes that weren't necessarily like over

802
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: the top, like oh man, you're you know your your

803
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: mom's this and she did this to last night, you

804
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: know type stuff. It was just more like the guy

805
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: was bald and I had just gotten a fresh haircut,

806
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: and I was gonna make a joke about how he's

807
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 3: never gonna look this good because you know, blah blah blah, right,

808
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: And I thought that would be awkwardly funny, and that

809
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 3: fired hard. I'll just tell you that right now. I

810
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 3: learned so much from that. What did work in my

811
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: favor is I got paired up with somebody who was

812
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 3: almost just as bland. But it wasn't on purpose, I

813
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 3: don't think. So it ended up being like an awkward

814
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 3: round that the host just had the best time with.

815
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 3: So I was like, all right, we all did our job.

816
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 3: Everybody had fun, you know whatever. And I learned maybe

817
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 3: I should just go in there with like a little

818
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 3: more of an edge, and next time I will. But

819
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 3: as far as like feelings hurt on that one, it's

820
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: it's the art and it'd be to me, it's no

821
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: different than if I'm in a or a show and

822
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 3: I'm acting and somebody's trying to choke me out. We're performing, right,

823
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 3: But uh, well, is it? It was a lot of fun?

824
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: Was it people you knew? Or were these like people

825
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: you were meeting for the first time that night?

826
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 3: So the guy I was facing I had met for

827
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 3: the first time, But a lot of the other folks

828
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: that were in the tournament I had knew from the

829
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 3: comedy scene, so I had known them. But yeah, this

830
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 3: guy I had met for the first time that night. Actually,

831
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 3: as soon as I walked in, I went and introduced

832
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 3: myself just so I kind of had an idea of

833
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 3: his vibe, right and just if what I had written

834
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: was was ready and he had just a stack of jokes.

835
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 3: So he was an old vet And I'm like, oh man,

836
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: this maybe this wasn't the.

837
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: Way would you would you rather have been?

838
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: Actually?

839
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: Would you rather have been matched that with someone you

840
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: did know?

841
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 5: Like?

842
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: Would you like?

843
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: Even though obviously is more awkward, but it also means

844
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: you have more ammunition and you all are there together

845
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: to so it's not like you're blindsiding these people. But

846
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: it's like if you know somebody's like you have better

847
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: you roast the ones you love.

848
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

849
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, I would have. I would have come

850
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: in hard like I would have. I would have come

851
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 3: in harder. I feel somebody I knew just because one

852
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: I know, they could take it into the jokes were easier, yeat,

853
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: because I've got the life experience with them.

854
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 2: In college, I used to wrap like like every black

855
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: person from every black man who was born after nineteen

856
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 2: seventy eight. I used to rap, and I remember after

857
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: I got out of school, like I was like taking

858
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: it a little serious, not very seriously, but I was like,

859
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna really play around with some of these,

860
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: like instrumentals and maybe like I knew a guy who

861
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: at a studio in his house and he's like, i'll

862
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: let you record here.

863
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, Yeah. So I had a friend Mario,

864
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: who I.

865
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: Know he's been listened to the podcast lately, so he'll

866
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about.

867
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 1: But we were like, hey, man, what if we write raps.

868
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: Where we're beef and we're in each other, we're friends,

869
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: where it's not gonna be too serious. And then uh,

870
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: I just remember when I was writing it, I was

871
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: so like yeah, everything about him. I'm just gonna like

872
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck. I'm just like I am

873
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 2: going to try to hurt his feelings, like this is

874
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm and lucky for me, he's like such a stand

875
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: up dude that like he really meant it when he

876
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: was like, nah, you should like he was encouraging me

877
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 2: because I was like, I don't know, man, now I'm

878
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: thinking about it. I started writing and I don't want

879
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: to say these things about you. He's like, no, please

880
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: do you should definitely say. I don't even remember if

881
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 2: he roasted me back or whatever. I think I think

882
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 2: he did, but his was so much more friendly than mine.

883
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 2: I was like making jokes about him dropping out of school,

884
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: like it was so fucking it was so fucked up.

885
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: But but but he, uh, he loved it because he's

886
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: just that kind of guy. He's the kind of guy that.

887
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: You play a fighting video game with.

888
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

889
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: He will molly wop you if he can't, like he

890
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 2: wants to destroy you, and and and it's all a

891
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 2: good time afterwards.

892
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: But man, that was like such a thing.

893
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: But it reminds me of this, right, this like idea

894
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: of like no this wrap the roast battle is essentially

895
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: it would almost be disrespectful to be like, no, no, no,

896
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say that.

897
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt your feelings.

898
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, no, you got you gotta bring the heat.

899
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 3: And that's that was the thing that I learned and

900
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 3: took from it the most was maybe, but there is

901
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 3: like a trend now of I think they're called like

902
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 3: friendly battles or whatever, and it's like who could bring

903
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 3: the best compliments and like a humor and like come

904
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 3: at him, you.

905
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 2: Know, in that regard, I think I would rather do that,

906
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: you know, I would rather do that because I got

907
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 2: like I got the evel inside of me a little

908
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 2: bit and people don't know it. They don't because you know,

909
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: because I do a good job of maintaining that shit

910
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: I don't people not supposed to know, you know, like

911
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm sociable, but like that, sometimes you go

912
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 2: down the dark path and it's like you don't realize

913
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: until lady like that was out of it. That was

914
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: I remember one time we were I was playing basketball.

915
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: This kid on our team and my friend Justin was

916
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: uh and me and Justin very similar dark humor all

917
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: this stuff, But I was very mad because we lost

918
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 2: this game, and it was because this kid, Tripp fucked up,

919
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 2: like he shot this terrible fucking shot the end of

920
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 2: game and I was so mad and he was and

921
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 2: he was apologetic, which should have been enough for me

922
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: to be like, Okay, you know what, you fucked up.

923
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: We all fuck up.

924
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: I've done the same thing before. What am I even

925
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 2: so angry about? But I remember I remember being like, man,

926
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 2: you fucking sucked.

927
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: Don't like, stay the fuck off my team, blahlah blah.

928
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: And it just is like, hey, man, that's Trip Man.

929
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: What are you doing.

930
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: That's like that's our friend or whatever. And I was like, okay,

931
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 2: he lives or dies and everybody know. Everybody at the

932
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 2: side was like, oh no. I was like, okay, that's

933
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 2: that was too far.

934
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 3: That was.

935
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: I like, I like, when got some water came back,

936
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 2: it was like, I apologize. That was out of control.

937
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know who that was right there? Where

938
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: did that evil come from? And that's you know, so

939
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 2: I worry about that was.

940
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 3: The competitive Yeah.

941
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: I worry man, about that ship going too far and

942
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: I can't take it back.

943
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 4: Yo. That's why for me, I have I have filters

944
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 4: that kind of always go off because a lot of

945
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 4: times the first thing that comes in your brain you

946
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 4: don't always want to say it out loud, like filter filter, filter,

947
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 4: filter filter. Okay, I can say this.

948
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: Version of it now. From listening to your podcast, it

949
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: sounds like you're also a bit of a sports fan.

950
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,959
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who's your Who's your NFL team?

951
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 3: The Chargers?

952
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: Oh man, the Chargers.

953
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 3: I grew up in San Diego or ocean side near

954
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 3: San Diego. My dad is marine, and so I grew

955
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 3: up like a Chargers fan, Padres fan. And then they're

956
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 3: they're originally from Central Iowa. So when I was like

957
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 3: elementary school, we moved back.

958
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

959
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 3: And so I've lived I've lived in Nebraska, you know,

960
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 3: for the majority of my life now, but I still

961
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 3: have that like hometown. So Charger, how did.

962
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: You feel seeing Philip Rivers get off the couch and

963
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: come play for the the Colts this weekend? Because I

964
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: know he was a longtime Charger and he kind of

965
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 2: lost that game in Philip Rivers old school fashion, like

966
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 2: he did like last second comeback, but too much time

967
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 2: on the clock to like, oh here here comes the

968
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: inevitable Philip Rivers lost, So like, well, was it nostalgic

969
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 2: for you?

970
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 3: It was? It was actually was funny because my my

971
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 3: son's like, oh, you won't believe what Phil did on

972
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 3: his first pass. And I'm like, what they threw a pick?

973
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 3: But it did for us for a how mine? And

974
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: uh he was no, no, no, it was it was completed.

975
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 3: He's like, all right, all right, and then uh, but no,

976
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 3: he had just signed the summer a one day deal

977
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 3: to retire Charger and then he's just like puts his

978
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 3: hand up, y'all, I'll come play with you guys, Like,

979
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 3: what do.

980
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 5: You he was up for?

981
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I believe he would have been

982
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: up for Hall of Fame this year. Ye and I

983
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: think right.

984
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 4: And then the other thing, now y'all get that up

985
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 4: to start the clock all over.

986
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: He has to start over.

987
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: And if I'm not mistaken, that's when like you're like

988
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: retirement or some type of weird like there's like a

989
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 2: money thing too to it, like, okay, you you've been

990
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 2: out of leave for five years. This is when Blank

991
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: starts health caresel He pushed all that back five years

992
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 2: to go play for the Colts, uh on a week's

993
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 2: notice and start by the way like it wasn't they

994
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 2: had a backup quarterback and they were just like that

995
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: guy feel bad for because they were I do too,

996
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 2: you know what we were thinking.

997
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 3: The first day of practice there was word that those

998
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 3: two were getting at each other, and I'm like, well, yeah, yeah,

999
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 3: that backup quarterback I'm getting a field too, feels there

1000
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 3: to play. I mean, he can come off the couch

1001
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 3: to not play.

1002
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: And it's gotta suck too, because like Phil got the

1003
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: big joker in that conversation, like you can't win that

1004
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: battle as a as the guy on the team already

1005
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: who's like, no, I should be starting because it feels

1006
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: like they called me from the couch.

1007
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: There's no way they feel confident that you should be playing.

1008
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: I was eating chips. Okay, I'm just gonna let you

1009
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: know what.

1010
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 3: You were talking about. With the insurance, it is. It's

1011
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 3: a big deal for him because it was like he

1012
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 3: would lose his insurance benefits at the end of the year,

1013
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 3: the season or something. He's got ten kids.

1014
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it was gonna be.

1015
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 3: Like a forty five hundred dollars a month charge or

1016
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 3: something for him. It made a lot of sets financially

1017
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 3: for him to come back. Yeah, that's it just didn't Yeah,

1018
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 3: it just didn't make a lot of sense in the

1019
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 3: grand scheme of the forty four coming off the couch.

1020
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: I think Serena Williams did something similar this year.

1021
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: She made a joke about it, but she was like,

1022
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 2: I'm she played in like the US Open because she

1023
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 2: was just like, hey, you know, get that tennis insurance back.

1024
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: That's some good insurance. I was like, maybe that's what

1025
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: Phil's doing.

1026
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 2: Feels like, shit, I'll go out there throw a couple

1027
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: of picks if y'all. Y'all, y'all paying my insurance these

1028
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: kids is expensive.

1029
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and it's he's a he's a high school

1030
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 3: football coach now head coach, and you get to see

1031
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 3: his team, you know, having their watch party and cheering

1032
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: on phills. He throws a touchdown. There was a lot

1033
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: of cool stories. It's going to be a movie someday,

1034
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:46,959
Speaker 3: That's what I said.

1035
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, Yeah, what he just did was.

1036
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 3: Taylor made to be a movie. Is incredible and that

1037
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 3: was cool to see him.

1038
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: The other part that's cool about it, too, is old

1039
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 2: quarterback are kind of having a resurgence. Man Like a

1040
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: lot of these quarterbacks that are doing well now, all

1041
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 2: guys that people kind of gave up on Sam darn Old,

1042
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 2: people gave up on Daniel Jones, who Philip Rivers a

1043
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 2: place they gave up on. I still remember when people

1044
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 2: gave up on Matt Stafford, you know, and now everybody's

1045
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 2: like MVP, so like you can get old and still

1046
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: like kind of maybe throw something together. And he's coming

1047
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 2: into a situation where they already had won a bunch

1048
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,919
Speaker 2: of games, so he just needs to like get them

1049
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 2: to the end of the season. I don't know, Stranger

1050
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 2: things have happened. That's why we watch sports. I would

1051
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: love to see Philip Rivers like finally come up big

1052
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,240
Speaker 2: and like the most improbable shit ever, just the Disney

1053
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 2: movie type of shit.

1054
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: I'd love to see that. That would be a.

1055
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: Great ending to this season, since like Patrick Mahomes is

1056
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 2: out and Lamar Jackson and them looked terrible. Josh Allen

1057
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 2: is still great, but his team isn't great, you know

1058
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, so like I don't know why

1059
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 2: not feel.

1060
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm one hundred behind you if it wasn't for

1061
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 3: the fact that my Chargers are right they are and

1062
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 3: it's gonna end up being Colts Chargers in the playoffs,

1063
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 3: and Phil's gonna beat us, and it's gonna be the

1064
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 3: most Charger thing that's ever happened, because that's that's what happened.

1065
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just it's what we do. And then

1066
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to watch Phil go in a super Bowl,

1067
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 3: which is so great. Like you said, it's gonna hurt

1068
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 3: so bad, man.

1069
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would that would absolutely that would be crushing

1070
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: if that was the way that happened for y'all. And

1071
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: then I feel like the Chargers just keep having the

1072
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 2: same season anyway. I feel like every year you can

1073
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: just pencil the Chargers in for the exact same results

1074
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 2: and they're just gonna bring back everyone anyway, back, bring

1075
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback back, Let's just do this thing again.

1076
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: One one year is gonna break lucky.

1077
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: This might be the year because so many people that

1078
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 2: are dominant at the top are starting to fall off.

1079
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: So maybe this is justin Herber's year.

1080
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 2: But man, it's just I feel like there's a weird

1081
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 2: type of purgatory in the NFL that, like you guys

1082
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: are in, the Steelers are in, where it's like these

1083
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: are good teams and we're Panthers fans. So everything that

1084
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: you guys are sick of is like what we would

1085
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: like cut our right arm off that had.

1086
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 4: You know, And I have a love and I understand,

1087
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 4: but I would love to be like I can pencil

Speaker 5: Like like like I can just pencil that in.

1092
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, I would be like, go Panthers, like,

1093
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 4: you know, we don't know what we're gonna get, like,

1094
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 4: we don't.

1095
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 2: You know what.

1096
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 3: I love you guys at least had the cam newtoneers

1097
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 3: and true you had your you had your Super Bowl run.

1098
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 3: Give me one. I thought, just give me one super

1099
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 3: Bowl run. I was so young when we played the

1100
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 3: Super Bowl against the forty nine Ers in nineteen ninety four.

1101
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 3: Like I remember being excited for watching the game. I

1102
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 3: also remember being just so crushed when we got annihilated.

1103
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 3: But it's like you think back then, well we'll be

1104
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 3: back and it's gonna be awesome, and then here we are.

1105
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 1: It's hard to get back many.

1106
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 3: Years old, and we never been backed right, And I

1107
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 3: just that's why I tell my son I'm like, man,

1108
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 3: when we do get there someday, just enjoy every second

1109
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 3: of that because you don't know when the next one's coming.

1110
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 3: And you guys are great examples of that. What a

1111
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 3: run with Cam Newton and you had one Super Bowl appearance,

1112
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 3: and you would think you would have had.

1113
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 2: We actual had too, we had you had Jake Delone

1114
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 2: lo fuck the Patriots, of course, yep, but we lost

1115
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 2: of the Patriots by three or whatever. This is like

1116
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 2: the worst, but it is better to have had that

1117
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:01,439
Speaker 2: run and lost than the you know then, like you said,

1118
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 2: to just never have it. But man, it's just so

1119
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 2: funny how sports is because every year only one team

1120
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 2: can win the Super Bowl. That's all just one, and

1121
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 2: so there's just like thirty there's like thirty one or

1122
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 2: twenty nine miserable other teams that are.

1123
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 5: Just like, oh fuck, what are we gonna do next year?

1124
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 2: And it feels like being a fan, you can get

1125
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 2: stuck in this place of like not really enjoying being

1126
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 2: a fan anymore.

1127
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: So I like we're able to, at least with Karen

1128
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: and I.

1129
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 2: One of the things I love about Karen is that

1130
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: we're able to just kind of enjoy being fans, like

1131
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 2: just the experience of like, oh, like we're Hornets fans.

1132
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 2: We're not winning shit, but it's like we go to

1133
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 2: we're season take.

1134
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: Holders to go to the games.

1135
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 2: We have a good time, we get to see all

1136
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 2: the best players and shit, and it's like, yes, there's

1137
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,439
Speaker 2: something about that that I don't ever want to take

1138
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: for granted because when I was a kid, I watched

1139
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 2: these people on TV and stuff I couldn't afford to

1140
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 2: go or you know, you parents scrape together enough.

1141
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: Money to go to one or two games a season tickets, Yeah,

1142
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: up at the top.

1143
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: So I'm still like, I think people are weirded out

1144
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 2: about how appreciative we are of it, but like, that's

1145
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 2: why I love about sports.

1146
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 3: It took me a long time to get to that

1147
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 3: point because I used to take at all every loss,

1148
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: every so like to heart. And then at some point

1149
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 3: it's probably what my son's port, honestly, when I'm just

1150
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 3: like that poor kid, he's going through all this, you know,

1151
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: as a fan. But then it started to like change

1152
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 3: my mindset. I'm like, you know what, I got to

1153
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 3: look out for him?

1154
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: Did you make him a Chargers fan?

1155
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 3: Joy the moment? Yeah, what do you guys? Think of

1156
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 3: Ryan Kaulfbranner.

1157
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 2: Oh man, I love Ryan Cockblayn or Dog like that,

1158
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: although I do worry that he's too sad, like I

1159
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know that he's sad, but like

1160
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 2: he don't really get jubilant ever, like he's like I

1161
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 2: like that he's even killed like he's because he's such

1162
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 2: a star wart, like he's not afraid to get dunked on,

1163
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 2: which means he gets a lot of blocks because people

1164
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: keep trying them, like, h I'll just block that too,

1165
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: and he doesn't get discouraged or whatever. But at the

1166
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: same time, like I haven't, I don't. I don't think

1167
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 2: I've ever seen him do a fist pump. I don't

1168
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 2: think he's ever got mad. Like he's just one way

1169
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 2: all the time.

1170
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I live in Omaha where Creighton University is,

1171
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 3: and so we would We've been watching Ryan for four years,

1172
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 3: you know, home games and Creighton and uh, he's incredible.

1173
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, you don't get any it's just level. You

1174
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 3: don't get too excited, too high, too low. Uh we

1175
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 3: did see you know something like this, Yeah, that's it something.

1176
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 2: But he and like he'd be dunking on people he

1177
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 2: has like one of the highest field goal percentages in

1178
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 2: the league.

1179
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: He dunks some.

1180
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,919
Speaker 5: People and he's still don't be like, there's not It's

1181
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 5: just like, that's two points.

1182
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: I'll be back on the defensive side.

1183
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 2: Now.

1184
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 4: I wonder if that's he just moves on to their personality,

1185
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 4: because you know, some people's personalities might be like that

1186
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 4: or I want.

1187
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 5: I don't know that man had a kid.

1188
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 1: He had a kid this year.

1189
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 5: Even then, he was still kind of like he was

1190
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 5: still mad, chill about it. I'm like, Okay.

1191
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 2: Tonight he's gonna really be And he had a great

1192
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 2: game that night that he played after his kid was

1193
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 2: born too, like yeah, double double and ship And I

1194
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,520

Speaker 2: I mean his baby was born. It's like no, no,

1196
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm tired of baby, been crying all night.

1197
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it is.

1198
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: He just sleep the prime man. I've been up with

1199

1202
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 2: fun guys on the team. I even like Kan. Kan

1203
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 2: is such a fiery guy to me too. He's very professional,

1204
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 2: but he's having fun out there. He takes it personal.

1205
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 2: Ryan's like, I don't.

1206
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: Take anything personal.

1210
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 4: I like con I like the whole team. I think

1211
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 4: when Roger just talking about like enjoying the game, I

1212
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 4: just love basketball. So for me, a lot of times

1213
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 4: it's mixed because I know I posted to my team,

1214
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna lie if like Lebron or Joker

1215
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 4: or somebody else going off, I'm like, oh, I'm just I'm.

1216
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 5: Like, I'm like, oh, well, goddamn you.

1217
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,320

00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 3: Man.

1220
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 2: We watched Joker two Saturdays of God thing and they

1221
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: beat us, and it was a pretty close game. But

1222
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, every time he touched the ball,

1223
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 2: he made something good happen, and by the end, I

1224
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 2: was just maniacally laughing.

1225
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 5: I was just it was like every time they hit

1226
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 5: the shot, be like, what can you do? What can

1227
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 5: you do?

1228
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 2: It's like he was hitting jumpers over a carp. Brenner,

1229
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 2: who's seven feet tall, had his arm up. It's just

1230
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 2: like he's pulling the ball behind his head like that's

1231
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: three points.

1232
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 5: Anyway, then I'm gonna run back was down the court.

1233
00:58:58,320 --> 00:58:59,959
Speaker 1: All right, No, look past this guy in the corner.

1234
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 2: No one news open, all right, anyway, Well, I guess

1235
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 2: I want to go home and look at my horses

1236
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 2: on my zoom right or whatever.

1237
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: Okay, that was amazing.

1238
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 3: He loves his horses more than anything. Incredible. Every basketball

1239
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 3: is a job, not a passion for him.

1240
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a job, right, And I'm at this point

1241
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 2: it's like I don't know if it's an act that

1242
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 2: got out of control and now it's become real, or

1243
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 2: if it's just like it's real and I and I

1244
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: and it's so he's so focused on the horses and

1245
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 2: going home that I feel like it's an act. But

1246
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 2: whatever's happening, it's some real, like Daniel day Lewis shit

1247
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 2: that he's doing, because like it'll be after a game,

1248
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 2: it's like, no one's ever scored fifty points, twenty rebounds

1249
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: and thirteen assists before.

1250
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: What you think about that?

1251
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, we missed a couple open jumpers and uh,

1252
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 2: you know, I really can't wait to get home and

1253
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 2: look at my horses.

1254
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck?

1255
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 3: What?

1256
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 5: There are people in this lead who have dedicated their

1257
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 5: entire lives to just be better than you, and they can't.

1258
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:05,479
Speaker 3: They ain't.

1259
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 2: Like, Man, no, I can't wait to get off at

1260
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 2: five thirty so I can drive home.

1261
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 5: Can I clock out?

1262
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: But nah, I've been enjoying the NBA this year.

1263
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 3: He clocks out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the league's fun. I

1264
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 3: just love greatness, and you're seeing a lot of the greats. Man,

1265
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 3: It's incredible. I mean, there's just something about seeing greatness

1266
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 3: that can take over this. Uh.

1267
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 2: This past weekend they had the nd season Tournament, like

1268
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 2: one of the rounds of that, and it was Oklahoma

1269
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 2: City Thunder, who legitimately might win the most games ever

1270
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 2: in a season.

1271
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: Like I've I've been alive with Michael Jordan. I've been

1272
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: alive for that Warriors team.

1273
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 2: I feel like I've never seen no shit like this,

1274
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 2: because like their second best player wasn't even playing the

1275
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 2: first twenty games and they lost one game. I was

1276
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 2: just like, well, what the fuck when he comes back,

1277
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 2: what are they gonna do? And then Shae Gills Alexander

1278
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: who's an MVP, doesn't even play most of the fourth

1279
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: quarters because they're up so much. So I'm like this

1280
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: team is just they're gonna make the season born because

1281
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 2: they're gonna whoop everyone's ass except Victor Winbinyama, who's seven

1282
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 2: foot seven and just a fucking like you know, basketball

1283
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 2: uh savant and alien. Apparently he fucking hates them and

1284
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 2: he just took it upon himself to come back from

1285
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 2: injury and be like, this is enough of this bullshit.

1286
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:38,439
Speaker 1: I watched that game.

1287
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 2: In the first half, he was on a minutes restriction,

1288
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 2: so he couldn't play like as many as he nor does.

1289
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: He played seven minutes in the first half. He had

1290
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: a plus.

1291
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: Twenty plus twenty, which means for y'all that are sports

1292
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 2: laymen that aren't you know, into the game. His team

1293
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: when he was on the court was twenty points better

1294
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: than the other team, which is the best team in

1295
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 2: the league.

1296
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: And he was only in the tech game for seven

1297
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: minutes in the first half and he did that.

1298
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 2: I feel like this league is in such a fun place,

1299
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 2: and my overaartching theory is this, it feels fun because

1300
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum is hurt and he's not playing for the Celtics.

1301
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 2: Last year, this time, everyone just kept talking about how

1302
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 2: there were too many threes being shot in the NBA.

1303
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: I remember that.

1304
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: Right, And I was like, man, I'm watching these games.

1305
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 2: These games are fun, They're like too many threes. Who

1306
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 2: wants to watch the NBA? I want to watch it

1307
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 2: till Christmas?

1308
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: This sucks. And I realized something.

1309
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 2: No one's talking like that this year because Jason Tatum's

1310
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 2: hurt and the Celtics aren't that good.

1311
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: I think people just hate the Celtics.

1312
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 4: I could see that, yeah, that complaining about Yeah, And honestly,

1313
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 4: the thing is the stat boys.

1314
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: I come to the stat boys.

1315
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 4: The people who really don't care about the game just

1316
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 4: been like, statistically, dzel what you supposed to do. The

1317
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,959
Speaker 4: Celtics did that, like they did all the math.

1318
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 2: But there's something so soulless about basketball where you're like,

1319
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 2: you know what, we realize threes are worth for than

1320
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 2: twos and if we just shoot nothing but those will.

1321
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: Win the game.

1322
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, yes, that is technically correct, but also

1323
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: it's like if you play a fighting game and a

1324
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 2: guy just keeps sweeping your legs, Like, technically, you're right,

1325
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 2: you can sweep my leg a million times and I

1326
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 2: won't be able to beat you.

1327
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: But don't you want to do something else. Don't you

1328
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: want to like shoot a fire ball?

1329
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 5: Everyone's while Nope.

1330
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as somebody who likes that's I'm like, you know,

1331
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 4: you live by the three, you die by the three.

1332
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 4: I've seen people just shoot themselves completely out the game

1333
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,439
Speaker 4: because my brain.

1334
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, y'all know twus count.

1335
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 3: To but it's math.

1336
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: But it's math, is what I'm saying. It doesn't matter

1337
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: how you feel about it.

1338
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 4: It's like that shit don't make no sense. Y'all gonna

1339
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 4: literally lose a game cause y'all fuse shoot twos.

1340
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: They've done.

1341
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've just done the math, and they know for

1342
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 2: a fact that that eventually the math will always be

1343
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: on their side. And yes they will have some off

1344
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: nights and lose, but more nights than not does has

1345
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 2: hit a bunch of fucking threes and it won't really

1346
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 2: be fun and they'll beat the ship out of your

1347
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 2: team and suddenly they're not. Jason Tatum's hurt and now

1348
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 2: no one's talking about threes. I looked it up yesterday

1349
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 2: that because I was like, am I bugging? Everybody is

1350
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 2: shooting just as many threes as there they're like one

1351
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 2: step below last year, meaning threes haven't changed.

1352
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: They have not just the Celtics, aren't you know, in

1353
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: our lives anymore? And it feels good. I hate to say.

1354
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 3: Coming out and the I mean I love that energy. Yeah,

1355
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 3: more best players on teams being like I hate those past. Yes,

1356
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna beat them. Give me more.

1357
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: Like pure sports hate.

1358
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 3: It's part Jordan's like that's era I love.

1359
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 5: It's pure.

1360
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: It's pure sports hate.

1361
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 2: And he's in the other part of it is he

1362
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 2: does for some reason, he chosen not to like Chet

1363
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 2: on the other team, which I don't know what started that,

1364
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 2: but he don't like that dude for some reason. So

1365
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 2: like they have the player he hates the most, then

1366
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 2: they're the team he doesn't like the most, and he's

1367
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 2: possibly the best player in the league right now. And

1368
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 2: it's pure sports hate. So it's not like any no

1369
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: one's gonna like, you know, fighting, They're not going on

1370
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 2: Twitter and fight like it's just when we play basketball,

1371
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 2: I would like to destroy you. And there's something so

1372
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 2: healthy about It's like a roast battle. It's something healthy

1373
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 2: about the fact that they can do that and then

1374
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 2: go back home and be like.

1375
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: All right, that was work. Yeah, And also as a fan,

1376
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: of the game.

1377
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 4: I think sometimes, particularly this era right now is a

1378
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 4: really special era. But you have so many grumpy and

1379
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 4: angry NBA players that they don't realize how special this

1380
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 4: era is. Players, the era, the NBA era. The reason

1381
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 4: why I said the era is because you have Lebron

1382
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 4: that in his career.

1383
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, you said you have so many NBA players'

1384
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: NBA fans.

1385
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Oh, NBA fans that don't appreciate the special

1386
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 4: era that we're in because we have so many players

1387
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 4: that are like you're sixteen, you're seventeen years like so

1388
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 4: so so soon, some of these players are gonna be

1389
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 4: stepping down and you're getting to have a rise of layers.

1390
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 2: People are aging different. Steph Curry scored eighty seven points

1391
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 2: over the weekend.

1392
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: What the fuck? Like you're old? You're not.

Speaker 3: been doing a segment of player props and I have

1436
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 3: been on fire with these player props, which has been fun.

1437
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 3: For example, Joe Flacco, we were talking about old ass quarterbacks. Yeah, comeback.

1438
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 3: One of our props this this one this season, was

1439
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 3: that he would have a rushing touchdown. No, he hadn't

1440
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 3: had a rushing touchdown since like two thousand and fourteen

1441
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 3: or something. It had been like seven years. It may

1442
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 3: have been further than that. It was some stupid stat

1443
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 3: but with the way the offense was running in Cincinnati

1444
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 3: and what they needed, it just it was gonna happen.

1445
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 3: It's sure enough it did and it was just it's

1446
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 3: little things like that. Man, this year it has been odd,

1447
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 3: but an NFL props we have been on fires.

1448
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 1: Could you imagine worth What would the eyes have been?

1449
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 2: What would the eyes have been on a prop that

1450
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 2: that was like like Philip Rivers will complete one past
