I 82 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: will assume that is a minus twenty three on the 83 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: how much do you missed the fifth hour podcast? This 84 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: is amazing development. Consider the fact that you yourself are 85 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: Tasha host and Taksha hosts are known mostly for their 86 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: ability to speak not to listen.

I'm sure he's enjoying it. Yes, 93 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: you've passed the betime. It's like a relay race where 94 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: you've passed that and still have not answered the question. 95 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: So I will go with my default answer and and 96 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: we will move on. But how I'm trying to think 97 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: how long we did the fifth Hour together? I ever 98 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: a year? Was it over you?

I just 100 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: go into the amazing podcast dojo and uh and I 101 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: just start talking. And then it's like the set up here. 102 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: I have on one side, I have the terrestrial radio 103 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: set up, so that's that's on the left side, and 104 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: then the right side I have the podcast set up, 105 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: and I pretty much just it's like it's like a 106 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: dueling pianos guest gun. I just go back and forth 107 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: and all that. I feel like you're moving around. You're 108 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: doing a lot of moving what's going on? There's everything 109 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: all right there, Yeah, I'm doing I'm doing a lot 110 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: of moving around. Although I must I must say you're 111 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: probably liking and pig heaven right with your ability to 112 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: have like dueling pianos and not to worry about eight 113 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: dollar gas like like the Cretans. Dude, you're you're sitting 114 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: pretty for right now. Well, I would like to address 115 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: that mouthfeasance that you have continued to spread. Now you 116 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: will get to your situation. You're you're out of the 117 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: loop right now, but you have been spreading lies. As 118 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: our former president would say, you are fake news because 119 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: the company mandated, actually a couple of months ago, that 120 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: I cruise back into the main studio. So I've been 121 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: doing a hybrid schedule, and based on the amount of 122 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: days I come in, I believe I've been to work 123 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: more than you have over the last last two months. 124 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: So you continue to spread slander, guess on on social media, 125 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: attacking my good name, and I want to assure you 126 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: as often as I go to the Costco gas station 127 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: for Kirkland brand gas that I have been spending my 128 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: fair amount on the putin price hike or whatever the 129 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: Biden's calling it, but I have been doing so I've 130 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: been going, Yeah, I don't uh, you know, I don't 131 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: suspect that will have a decrease anytime soon. Although it 132 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: was announced a few days ago that our CPI was 133 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: nine point one, and you immediately had the little compundence 134 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: on one side, and also um the president and his 135 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: vice president declaring, well, gas is thirty thirty cents cheaper 136 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: than what it was a month ago. Therefore, the CPI 137 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: is not something you should really be so concerned about. 138 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: But anyways, I digress. Time we started talking third rail stuff, 139 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: we started getting pinous comments on the fifth our podcast platform. 140 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: So I've learned my lesson into a new year. We 141 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: cannot go against the regime and the echo chamber that is, Yeah, 142 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: well we don't. We don't go down that road very 143 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: often because it's a road filled with potholes, booby traps, 144 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: land mind mind Yeah, there's land mines, there's people throwing 145 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: people on side with bows and arrows, people throwing rocks. 146 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: It's a it's an absolutely. But you are in the 147 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: great state of four Ord now, Is it true? Is 148 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: it true that you have moved to Florida. I'm not 149 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: going to confirm nor deny that, but I took a 150 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: page out of your book. Now, there was a time 151 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: in place back in two thousand sixteen, right confided in you, 152 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: and I asked for your professional and personal opinion on 153 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: what I should do.

We did not mention 205 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: the name of the random former Heisman Trophy winner who 206 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: decided to go yes, uh yeah, exactly. Uh all right, 207 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: so what's the what's the story here? So you're traveling, 208 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: you're traveling back and for what's going on? Yeah yeah, yeah, 209 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: So you you read I know you've read this and 210 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: seen this, but like Delta and a bunch of these 211 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: airlines were paying people to get off flights and they've 212 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: been canceling flights all summer long. Um. Well, I was, 213 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: and I was in New York, UM a couple of 214 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I had a flight from LaGuardia Airport, 215 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: which is like fantastic now brand new airport for a 216 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: billion dollars spent on it. And I had a flight 217 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: leaving from mcguarda to go down to Fort Lauderdale, and 218 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: the flight top was three thirty through Jet Blue. So 219 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: I get to the airport an hour earlier, right, and 220 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm getting myself situated. I'm ready to go. All of 221 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: a sudden we get worried over the p a that 222 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: the airport are just going. The pilot, the captain the 223 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: flight was removed. So they didn't say why the pilot 224 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: was removed, but people were suspected maybe it was alcohol related, 225 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: and so he gets removed. My flight gets pushed back 226 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: one hour. In doing so, the flight attendants that are 227 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: on my flight that reassigned, So an hour later when 228 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: our flight was supposed to take off, we had no 229 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: flight attendants, so we got pushed back again. So now 230 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: our flight going from fourth orty gets pushed back to 231 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: six thirty. And when the flight gets pushed back to 232 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: six thirty, all of a sudden, we have an issue 233 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: because the flight that we were at on that gate 234 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: was occupied by another Jet Blue flight, so we had 235 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: to wait for that plane too, the plane reload and 236 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: then take up. Well, when the flight reloaded, a woman 237 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: went into arrest. She went and cardiac arrest and had 238 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: to be removed from the flight, So that flight was 239 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: delayed another hour before it took off. So all of 240 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, goes from six thirty to eight thirty because 241 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: of the delays, and then we get a warning that 242 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: our plane now as a maintenance issue. When it has 243 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: a maintenance issue, all of a sudden, we start getting 244 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: pushed back to ten thirty eleven o'clock, and everyone starts 245 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: to say, this plan is gonna get canceled. So keep 246 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: in mind I was there at one thirty two o'clock 247 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: in the afternoon, comes they canceled my flight. Oh boy, dude, 248 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, I have to go 249 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: to the front desk to get a new flight. I 250 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: had a weight in line for an hour and then 251 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: still we'll give you the first flight out on Sunday. Well, 252 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: this is a Friday night, and I said that's not acceptable. 253 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: I have games on Saturday night in Florida. So guy 254 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: was like finagling around. He was like, I got your 255 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: one seat tomorrow morning at six am here to go 256 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: down the four water dollar wonderful. So naturally, what I do? 257 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: I have my backpack? Can I sleep on the floor 258 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: at Lagrity Airport for five hours before I take off? 259 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: Did they Did they give you any funny month? Did 260 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: they give you any an four hundred dollars and funny money? 261 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: That's it, four hundred. I've seen stories over the last 262 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: month of people getting up to ten thousand dollars and 263 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Yes, they give you four dollars, that's it. Yeah, 264 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: you can't even afford to leave the airport for fo 265 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: I know ar lift. No, it was awful, dude. Now, 266 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: did you did you make sure to like lick the 267 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: floor the Guardian? Because I have not been. I have 268 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: not been to Leguardian a long time. My problem with 269 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: LaGuardia I used to go there when my brother first 270 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: moved to Manhattan. I used to go to fly into 271 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: LaGuardia because my mom, who didn't know a lot about 272 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: New York, determined that LaGuardia was closer than JFK, so 273 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: therefore I should fly into LaGuardia. The problem is that 274 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: there there were the runways were not long enough from 275 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: West coast to East coast or vice versa. You had 276 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: to stop somewhere. They couldn't have the big planes on there, 277 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: so I always had to stop in Chicago or somewhere 278 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: like that. It was a pain in the ass and 279 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: uh and whatnot. And so I'm assuming they didn't make 280 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: the runways any longer, did they. If you're on the 281 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: East Coast, it's fine to fly out of LaGuardia, but 282 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: if you're somewhere further away, it's it's still a nightmare. 283 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: I would think. Yeah, it was terrible, but the airport 284 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: itself was clean, spacious and uh yeah planet flooring for 285 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: me to sleep on. So it was got awful. So 286 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: how many teams? How many teams are in this? Uh? 287 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: So you got to the game, right, you got the 288 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: four inner bucks? You stopped in the floor, Yeah I did. Yeah, 289 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: but like it was awful, but like it was one 290 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: by one. It was it was like something out of 291 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: a movie because each gate it was canceled, canceled, canceled, 292 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: cancel like Delta, uh, Southwest Airlines, Spirit like all these 293 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: airlines in New York were canceling flights and it was 294 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: just it was like one by one. It was pretty tragic. 295 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: So I was part of the casualty flights being obviously 296 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: cutting down. So the airline industry has done a wonderful 297 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: job of handling everything and they're very smooth uh and 298 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: and I'm glad that every you know, twenty thirty years 299 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: they get bailed out so they can continue there. And 300 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: I think what we need here Gascon is you to 301 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: become a pilot. Because you get paid a lot of money. 302 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: You can you're not allowed to fly once you get 303 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: to the age of sixty six. I think it is 304 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: right sixty five, they retire you automatically. You get free travel. 305 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: And I think the planes just pretty much fly themselves. 306 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: That the hard parts taken off and landing, but once 307 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: you get up in the air, it's like autopilot. I think. 308 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: But we have we already have one pilot, so I 309 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: can't be a pilot out well, not true. Actually, I've 310 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: not heard from I'm a Pilot in many, many months. 311 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: There is a conspiracy among the fifth hour p ones 312 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: on this show that you were actually I'm a Pilot, 313 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: that you were using a burner account. We used to 314 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: get these wild tales from I'm a Pilot. Remember the 315 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: one he talked about going to China during early on 316 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: in the in the pandemic and how crazy that was. 317 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: And uh, but so you're you're denying right now, hand 318 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: to God that you are not I'm a Pilot because 319 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 1: he stopped sending messages right around the time that you 320 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: stopped working on the show. That's correct, that's correct. But 321 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: I know he's he's been communicating via Twitter, and yeah, 322 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: it's it's not It's not me. No burner accounts here, 323 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not coming back as Junion Medford two 324 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: one oh, certainly not any of the female contingency that 325 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: adores me and misses me. So yeah, yeah, alright, So 326 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: so you're doing the soccer thing. I don't know anything 327 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: about this. Explain it to me like I'm five years 328 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: old here, So this is female women's soccer? Is this? 329 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: What is men's and women's? Yeah? I think about this 330 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: one like the MLS, which is like the premier league 331 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: here in the United States, supposedly, UM they have like 332 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: the us L Championship. They have US League One, and 333 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: then they have the nwus L and they also have 334 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: UM it's a separate league, but it's called Cocky Gaps. 335 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: So it's like the it's like the it's the America's 336 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: it's like South America, Middle America, obviously Central America, the 337 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: United States, and so all these soccer clubs are competing 338 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: for international rights in these different leagues, these different tournaments, 339 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: and so I called the United States. I call the 340 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: United States versus Cuba in the copy cab You twenty, 341 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: which is just amazing because like you would have on streams, 342 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: you would have people commentating on what you're saying. And 343 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: so it reminded me of talking to you because that 344 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: people that were simply fashioned me because of my soccer vernacular. 345 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: And then I had other guys that were saying, Man, 346 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: these guys like a baseball announcer, he just goes off 347 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: on these random tangents like Fiel airtime because I'm calling 348 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: me the matches by myself. This is something like Benny 349 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: would do, right, he would just start talking about something 350 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: random and stupid as opposed to like, what's actually happening 351 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: on it? How dare you it's more interesting than what's 352 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: going on on the pitch. Yeah, well, what is the 353 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: what is the first rule of broadcast? You gotta keep 354 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: people entertained? I think you gotta you gotta here. And obviously, 355 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: if you're doing TV, it was radio, but this is TV. 356 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: If it's radio, that's a problem because people don't know 357 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: what's going on. But if it's television, they can see 358 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: what's going on. So of course you should try to 359 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: be entertaining. How much of a soccer knowledge did you 360 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: have before you get into this, Well, I I do, 361 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: I do. I call stuff. I call soccer for the 362 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: Big West Conference for men's and women's soccer. I was 363 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: calling stuff in the Pact. Well, but this is just 364 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: a different beach, that's the different league. So it's basically 365 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: like a it's just a step below Major League soccer. 366 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: And these guys are trying to get there, and some 367 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: guys get signed, and they get traded out to European 368 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: clubs and then all of a sudden they have like 369 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: massive day day. So these are like developmental leagues for 370 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: for all intensive purposes with guys that can continue there 371 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: for athletic careers, almost like Triple A and Double A baseball, 372 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: but you are actually going to the games. It's not 373 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: necessarily remote. You're actually going there. And no, no, there's 374 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: the other there's like giant remote studios that I worked 375 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: at and operate. Okay, and yeah, well how hard is that? 376 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: It must be a pain in the ass having to 377 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: keep track? What if the camera do you have multiple 378 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: camera angles where you can actually see the wide the 379 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: wide view, because I would think calling a soccer match 380 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: if you if you're seeing close up so the players 381 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: is not going to lend itself to quality play by play. Yeah, 382 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: it's extremely challenging, but I was doing that during the 383 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: summertime two years ago in Germany when I was calling 384 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: European League Football Action American Lives Football in Europe. I 385 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: was doing that then, still doing it now, and I'm 386 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: doing this kind of like train me and got me 387 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: adequated to call them things off of a off of 388 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: a monitor, much like our our friend John Sterling will 389 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: call Yankee games off That's right, that's right, except I'm 390 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: not getting paid anywhere near let John. Yes, and you're 391 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: not actually at the games like our our friend John is. 392 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: But remember he told us, but we I think the 393 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: most important thing is to try to be somewhat entertaining 394 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: the person who's who's watching, giving up the most valuable resource. 395 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: They have their time to consume the product you're putting out. 396 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: But John always said, remember he said on the podcast, 397 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: he said, you gotta sell the soup, you gotta sell 398 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: the soap. That's the most important thing. And that's that's 399 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: the key there. So are you gonna parlay this guest on? 400 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: Are you gonna be calling the World Cup at some point? 401 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: I would love to, Like there's a lot of action, 402 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent, but I'm called especially the 403 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: women's side. Like my highlighting the women's sidles. I was 404 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: actually calling a game from the San Diego WAVEFC Alex 405 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: Morgan obviously there's a prominent figure in the soccer world 406 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: called her match. She she scored a couple of goals. 407 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, men's ruben soccer. If I can get on board, 408 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: I love to me and I've been you know what me, 409 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: I've been trying this for for a long long time. 410 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: So soon or Landers will get pap or I'm gonna 411 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: hit the wall and crash and burning the sunset.

And my strategy is I just 417 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: keep doing it until someone says, here's a great job. 418 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: And then maybe at some point somebody will say that's 419 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: a great job. I mean, I have a good job 420 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: right now. I love what I do and uh, but 421 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: financially it'll be nice to have a better job.

But they got 472 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: tens and hundreds of thousands of guys in and out, 473 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, you're just trying to stick, so hopefully 474 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: I stick. But as far important man, as far as 475 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: the soccer stuff though, like how difficult is It's one 476 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: thing I I've I've done a little. I've dabbled in 477 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: that world where you try to come up with antidotes 478 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: and stories and whatnot. For athletes, it's not that hard 479 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: if you you're calling a professional game where it's like 480 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball or the NFL. But if you're 481 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: doing the soccer here, how difficult is it? Defined information 482 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: on some of these cat Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean 483 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: I was doing I was doing games for like uh 484 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: I think gets A, Neva's, I was doing like Bermuda, 485 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: I was doing Cuba. I was doing all these clubs 486 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: internationally and they have little to know media guides, pronunciation 487 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: guides like I'm all over the internet and obviously the 488 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: United States that covered them. I covered Canada, um I 489 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: did in Mexico. So yeah, like finding info on these 490 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: cats is like a different nature. You're the only good 491 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: thing is is that what the copy cav and the 492 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: you twenty teams. These kids are all over social media, 493 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: so you like on their Instagram accounts and then find 494 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: out like where the training, what colleges they're going to, 495 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: um background stories like that on town teams and odd stuff. 496 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: So it's like a completely different beast. But yeah, I 497 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: take a lot more prep work. And that's the crazy thing, right, 498 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: You're doing all this prep work. Game time isn't that long? 499 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: Like what did I spend all my day on? So well, 500 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: you could also gamble that if the Internet does not 501 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: have any information on the player, you can then get 502 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: very creative. It can become a creative writing exercise. It's like, 503 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, fiction versus nonfiction. You could go nonfiction, but 504 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: fiction would be so much more fun and you could 505 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: create wild bachelor's like I had Ken Levine, who you 506 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: know a little bit right, and I think you make 507 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 1: can the the old TV guy who did play by 508 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 1: playing the minor leagues. And Ken's a great guy, and 509 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: he talked about some of his stories calling minor league 510 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: games in Virginia and some other places and then he 511 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: got to the major leagues. But he talked about just 512 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: kind of just kind of letting it rip sometimes because 513 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: you didn't know much and nobody would you figure on 514 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: the small station, no one's listening. But you know, when 515 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: you're doing soccer, I would think, like I said, those 516 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: guys from far away lands, who's gonna call you on that? 517 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know who's gonna you 518 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: could create the most amazing tale in the world about 519 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: some guy from a Ruba and it's probably no one 520 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: gonna gonna be able to say, wait a minute, that's 521 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: my brother's cousins, gardeners, barber, you know, or something like that. Yeah, yeah, 522 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: for sure. The problem is with social media's days, you 523 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: never know who's watching or listening, and so god forbid 524 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: I say one thing one time, it gets picked out 525 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: all the time.

Well, I feel I feel I feel good 538 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: because what you told me that I feel like I 539 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: have a role in this. That the criticism that you 540 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: got from the angry, bitter wing of the Mallard militia 541 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: has prepared you for the soccer viewer to lob Molotov 542 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: cocktails your direction, that you are somehow prepared for this 543 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: then and you are able to It's like water off 544 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: a duck's back guescount right, you just who keeps you?

I don't know if 548 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: this is on social media or not. And I learned 549 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: this years ago. When people are really rude to you 550 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: on social media, I usually just I don't go on 551 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: there much anymore. I'm hardly on social media much these 552 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: days other than for the show during the show, but 553 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the time, I'm not on there much 554 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: at all.

Like whatever media they're consuming, they're 559 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: just going point by point, you suck, you blow your 560 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: horse shit, you all just going through all of that, right, right, 561 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: trying to attack everyone in their mother right. They have 562 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: nothing else to do. So, yeah, those are people that 563 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: have like little note followers and all of a sudden 564 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: they well, yeah when they say that, and see they've 565 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: never said stuff to your face.

And then remember, the mute button is 569 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: a wonderful tool, the mute, but not do not. But 570 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: I've had this conversation with Rob Parker. Rob Parker, the 571 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: colleague of ours here at Fox Sports Tradio.

The mute button is a victory 574 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: for you. I can I cannot begin to tell you 575 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: how many people I have had put on mute over 576 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,239 Speaker 1: the years, and they don't know it. They can. Some 577 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: of them continue to send me stuff. Uh and I 578 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: know that because they'll tag other people in it and 579 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: then somehow I'll click on it. But um, but the 580 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: mute button is wonderful. It's the great equal as so well, 581 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: it's it's necessary, and you know what, it's better that 582 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: way because those people just get off on any kind 583 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: of like retaliation as opposed to like, you know, obviously 584 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: you cut. I'm sure exactly. Now. A couple of years back, 585 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned the Bakersfield played by play job that you took, 586 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: and you you took that team right to North Carolina 587 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: hundred years of how many years was that team around 588 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: of almost a hundred years?

Center left, the left the California League and 590 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: uh yeah, onto greater pastures. Well, and Rob Manford just 591 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: tried he attempted to kill minor league baseball too. He 592 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: got rid of a bunch of teams for with the 593 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: forties something teams all eliminated because of that loser commissioner, 594 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: Rob Manford and stripping major League Baseball downam its guts 595 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: and then uh not worried about the Euston Astros and 596 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: so not worried about the Boston Red Side. Well, ironically 597 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: the Astros have been the downfall of that as well. 598 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: That that was the advice of the former general manager 599 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: of the Astros.

And now, 657 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: like the past spart a couple of years, I wouldn't 658 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: be able to form the fact that no one has 659 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 1: given raises and the cost of living and inflation sky high. 660 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: So well, I think, being back in Los Angeles, if 661 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: you if you want to enjoy the inflation, go to 662 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: one of these inflation calculators. Type in your salary because 663 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: chances are whatever you're getting paid is the same thing 664 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: you got paid fifteen years ago or twenty years ago. 665 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 1: And see how much further the dollar went in two 666 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: thousand three, or you know, even before that, as as 667 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: opposed to too now. I looked it up the other day. 668 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods in six with Nike, before he won the 669 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: Masters for the first time, he got a contract for 670 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: forty million dollars from Nike. Intoday's money, that would the 671 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: spending power on that is seventy four millions almost doubled 672 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: in less in less than thirty years. It's almost double. 673 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: So in other words, if you might might or night 674 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: might or might not be a radio guy and you're 675 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: making the same money you made in n I believe 676 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: you've lost almost of your spending so well. I started 677 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: with iHeart in two thousand twelve, moved to Fox Sports 678 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: Radio in two thousand fourteen, and I have not had 679 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: a race since, so, yeah, is rather loud. Yeah, so 680 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: you've you've taken about a fifty cut in that overa 681 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: over the years there. But now you know, now you're 682 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: doing soccer. Now you're gonna be the big voice of 683 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 1: soccer somewhere.
