Speaker 1: So this is before the show starts. So if we
Speaker 1: come on and we have a little extra n before
Speaker 1: the show, we'll hop on. We don't have an intro
Speaker 1: for this though, where Rey goes, do you want to
Speaker 1: do one is what we could actually call it. I
Speaker 1: was thinking about this last night. We had to do
Speaker 1: something called the pre show, post show post o pre show.
Speaker 1: We could call this generally if we do this, the
Speaker 1: pre show slash post show, because you're getting pre before
Speaker 1: the show starts and then you're getting post after the
Speaker 1: show ends. And that's a little different because a lot
Speaker 1: of people will do post show type podcasts and stuff,
Speaker 1: but I've never heard a sandwich. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: we're doing it all the time because we don't always
Speaker 1: have time to do it. But my goal is to
Speaker 1: put up as much content as possible, and so this
Speaker 1: will be the pre show slash post show, as it's
Speaker 1: labeled on the podcast. I feel fun.
Speaker 2: This is the top one. Oh, or's at the bottom
Speaker 2: of top? You stop start at the top?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Ray, give me some sort of intro. We'll
Speaker 1: see if we like it.
Speaker 3: It's the pre show slash No yet, you already have
Speaker 3: the post show on.
Speaker 1: It's the pre show. Do you need a minute?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean we basically do I want to do? I
Speaker 1: know it's your Voice's why I didn't give any direction,
Speaker 1: so I'll let you. I got it.
Speaker 3: It could be okay, eggs and baky timed a wakey.
Speaker 3: It's the pre show.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. That's your voice. If you decide
Speaker 1: you have another one, a couple you want to try out,
Speaker 1: let me know. But I like that off the cuff.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I kind of want to go back
Speaker 4: to you.
Speaker 5: I think you start with the bottom bun because when
Speaker 5: you put your burger, you said it on the bottom
Speaker 5: bun first.
Speaker 1: When you make a sandwich, and when you eat it,
Speaker 1: your tooth goes into the top bun first.
Speaker 2: Well, that's true.
Speaker 4: I think about you when you're consuming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what people are doing. They're consuming this.
Speaker 2: They're not making it. All right, let's stick with the top.
Speaker 6: That nobody We don't need a bun nobody else.
Speaker 1: It's the top bun. I. Speaking of food, Taco Bell
Speaker 1: is the quickest fast food drive through for the second
Speaker 1: year in a row. KFC is second, followed by Arby's,
Speaker 1: Duncan and Wendy's. This is from in Touch Insight, and
Speaker 1: so what I'm assuming they do, although it's a crap
Speaker 1: shoot depending on how well each location is run because
Speaker 1: they're all individual owners. And I've been to some Taco
Speaker 1: Bells per awesome, and I've been to some where you
Speaker 1: can tell they got other things to do, and I
Speaker 1: think that generally is so hopefully the sample size is
Speaker 1: large in different states, because I'm telling you, in Arkansas
Speaker 1: they had no rush. I'll go home, we'll go through
Speaker 1: a Starbucks, or we'll go through a Taco Bell. It's
Speaker 1: like island time.
Speaker 2: It is chill.
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, I mean, it's like hillbilly time, except
Speaker 1: it's like island time.
Speaker 4: You're probably checking TikTok.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they're on TikTok.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing. But it's weird. It's
Speaker 1: much slower than if you're in a city where things
Speaker 1: have to move faster. Because when I go home, I'm
Speaker 1: not from a big city. I don't even I'm not
Speaker 1: even from Little Rock and that's not a big but
Speaker 1: that was the big city to me growing up. It
Speaker 1: is it is very slow, and sometimes I forget that,
Speaker 1: like I forget about island time or small town time
Speaker 1: as always you call it small town time, small town time.
Speaker 7: I wonder if the owners ever like go through the
Speaker 7: drive through and pertend Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, like I would.
Speaker 7: I mean my family and then my mom, she worked
Speaker 7: for my sisters in laws. They were all in the
Speaker 7: restaurant business, and they would do that all the time.
Speaker 7: Like my dad would go through his drive throughs or
Speaker 7: the Taco Bell family, like that's who my sister married into,
Speaker 7: and they would go all the time, and he would
Speaker 7: see how many sauce packets they would give him, and
Speaker 7: he'd be.
Speaker 6: Like, this is way too many.
Speaker 1: That's legitimate.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, so like it.
Speaker 7: And then they would make improvements based on what they
Speaker 7: would see. And then my mom was his assistant, so
Speaker 7: she would go through and she'd report back, Hey, I went,
Speaker 7: and then there wasn't enough cheese and my bean burrino
Speaker 7: got them snitches.
Speaker 1: No oh. One of my friends, like a week and
Speaker 1: a half ago, was like, Hey, come into town. Where do
Speaker 1: I need to go eat? And so my wife and
Speaker 1: I are part owners of a restaurant, just a small piece,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you should go hear about it
Speaker 1: and tell them that we were part owner of the restaurant.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, you should go here. It's great.
Speaker 1: It's like, what should I order? It's I gave a
Speaker 1: couple options, a couple of you know, appetizers, and then
Speaker 1: I checked in with them, how was it, How does
Speaker 1: the taste? Was it good? So I got a full
Speaker 1: feedback on hit. He didn't know it was, you know,
Speaker 1: the place that we own part of. And I took
Speaker 1: the whole thing and copied it and sent it over
Speaker 1: to the main person and I was like, hey, your
Speaker 1: people did pretty good.
Speaker 6: Oh, it's good.
Speaker 1: Like it it was good. Well, you can't always base
Speaker 1: it on somebody's taste preferences, because I was like, if
Speaker 1: you like blue cheese, this is really good. If you don't.
Speaker 1: But I didn't even like give him a discount anything
Speaker 1: because I didn't want him to know it was I
Speaker 1: was using them for my own personal So, yeah, we
Speaker 1: undercover boss a little bit there on that one. A
Speaker 1: two year old is briefly trapped inside of an Amazon locker.
Speaker 2: What's the locker?
Speaker 1: I think an Amazon locker. I've seen these.
Speaker 6: Like it whole foods.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've seen that outside the store.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can like they put it in it
Speaker 1: and then you go to it and you like type
Speaker 1: of code in and get something out, right, right, isn't
Speaker 1: that right?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 1: So, and you don't own the locker it's just there.
Speaker 1: It almost is like one of those red boxes outside
Speaker 1: of a gas or yeah, a gas station, but it's
Speaker 1: not outside of a gas station that I've seen. I
Speaker 1: don't even know where I've seen them, Yeah, Mabe said,
Speaker 1: Whole foods.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's a lot.
Speaker 7: It's there's there's a food place around the street too
Speaker 7: that does that. Like you order and then you go
Speaker 7: and they give you a locker box, and then you
Speaker 7: put the check on your phone and it says like
Speaker 7: you know, locker five and you go.
Speaker 6: It's like the future. It's so weird.
Speaker 7: It's weird actually. But they have this Haitian dish that
Speaker 7: my kids love. They have all different types of cuisine
Speaker 7: you can choose from. But you open up locker five
Speaker 7: and there's your Haitian dish. And I don't even know
Speaker 7: where it came from because there's no you don't see people.
Speaker 7: It's like a ghost kitchen or something probably from the back,
Speaker 7: huh it is, But you don't ever see them.
Speaker 6: You just see all these lockers.
Speaker 2: Of the locker has a hole and they just put
Speaker 2: that in there.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't know that sounds hole, but it's
Speaker 1: not what I was thinking that sounds. But I would
Speaker 1: imagine the Amazon is not like what they do is
Speaker 1: they open the front of it, put it in and
Speaker 1: you're here, but what the that's starting? But you're saying
Speaker 1: it's in the like connected to the restaurant and they
Speaker 1: can put it in through the back. Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, it's just a building.
Speaker 7: And I think there's a kitchen in the back somewhere.
Speaker 1: And you know that food is good when it's shady,
Speaker 1: it's good. It's not always the cleanest.
Speaker 7: But do you want Italian? Do you want Haitian? Do
Speaker 7: you want Indian? Do you want Chinese?
Speaker 1: That's something that sounds like the Cheesecake Factory menu. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all around the world. I don't know that. I like that.
Speaker 1: I like specialization. When it comes to up they.
Speaker 7: Have it down like my kids are. They love a
Speaker 7: legit Haitian meal. And the thing is, I was like,
Speaker 7: I wish I could tell you who cooked it, where
Speaker 7: we could get it again.
Speaker 6: I guess I just got to go to locker. I've
Speaker 6: already ordered it from on the on the phone.
Speaker 7: When you get there, there's like a pad you can
Speaker 7: type it in. It reminds me of an episode of
Speaker 7: Black Mirror or something where I feel like I'm I
Speaker 7: don't know, something's weird about to happen, but it's very futuristic.
Speaker 1: But anyway, can that's around here? Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: tell you a story in a second about international food.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you this story first.
Speaker 6: The kid in the locker.
Speaker 1: A two year old child was briefly trapped inside of
Speaker 1: Amazon locker. It must have been one of the big
Speaker 1: ones because there are also like little slide out ones
Speaker 1: you can't get in. But she's two. At around four
Speaker 1: forty pm nine to one receiver reports but a child
Speaker 1: trapped inside of an Amazon locker. The spokesperson for the
Speaker 1: Seattle Police departments of the two year old was playing
Speaker 1: with a sibling when he actually got stuck inside the locker.
Speaker 1: It must have been open, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they must have got the package out and my
Speaker 5: mom's looking at the package.
Speaker 4: Kid jumps in.
Speaker 1: Unless somebody got their package on, I just didn't shut
Speaker 1: it all the way.
Speaker 2: Right then, You don't know the code of that locker. Oh,
Speaker 2: so they're stuck.
Speaker 1: At this time. It's not clear how the child escaped
Speaker 1: the locker, but Amazon noted the lockers have high visible
Speaker 1: levers inside, which allow them to be open from the inside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: explain that to a two year old, though there's a
Speaker 1: highly visible lever. Mom too. Oh hey, Mike, will you
Speaker 1: look up. I was listening to a story Wry about
Speaker 1: Thailand and Thai food and how back and maybe the
Speaker 1: seventies or eighties. In order to push along the appeal
Speaker 1: of Thailand Thai, the Thai government paid a lot of
Speaker 1: people that lived in Thailand to move all over America
Speaker 1: and start Thai restaurants.
Speaker 2: Really, I love Tai.
Speaker 1: It is so good because it kind of came out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. It was like Chinese food, Chinese food, sushi, sushi,
Speaker 1: sushi Thai.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, wow, I kind.
Speaker 1: Of like Thai food. Didn't even know because Thai to
Speaker 1: me feels very stir fry. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: true or not. That's why I fell in my head
Speaker 1: when it's like Thai food, and I'm sure there are
Speaker 1: a lot of different versions of it.
Speaker 2: Thai chili sauce, sauce.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't even know if that story was made up.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking Mike to fact check it. But
Speaker 1: I feel like at some point the Thai government paid
Speaker 1: people to leave Thailand to go and start these restaurants
Speaker 1: in order to actually create a positive look sure for
Speaker 1: Thailand the country, so people will then go there. And
Speaker 1: thousand and two, Dane, this is what a year. We know,
Speaker 1: two thousand two feel like yesterday.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: That's why I was like, this wasn't yesterday.
Speaker 6: We were in college.
Speaker 2: It was a long time, I know.
Speaker 1: But when you just read two thousand and two, I'm
Speaker 1: like that just.
Speaker 7: Right, because I think you when you told the story,
Speaker 7: did you say the seventies.
Speaker 1: I thought it was that far back.
Speaker 2: It feels that far back.
Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't hear the year ever in the story,
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was that far back.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But in two thousand and two, the Thai government launched
Speaker 1: the Global Tie Program, a diplomatic initiative with the aim
Speaker 1: of increasing the number of Thai restaurants worldwide. The state
Speaker 1: provided training programs, grants, and information to TI investors who
Speaker 1: wanted to open restaurants abroad, so they basically invested a
Speaker 1: bunch of money and gave people money the grants to
Speaker 1: move here to help them open up Thai restaurants. That
Speaker 1: is genius, crazy and it works. And like long game,
Speaker 1: like Macro, you got to get in, you got to
Speaker 1: move somewhere, you got to set up a restaurant. It's
Speaker 1: got to be successful. And you're only in Toledo, so
Speaker 1: that you only got eleven people that are coming to
Speaker 1: Thailand now, but like all over America and like build
Speaker 1: out that culture. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: But the goal was to get people to go to
Speaker 2: Thailand just.
Speaker 1: To have an awareness of Thailand. That worked, and then
Speaker 1: get people to go to Thailand.
Speaker 2: That didn't work.
Speaker 6: Well, No, maybe I don't think that.
Speaker 1: All of these like travel sites yeah Thailand.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like you go out to eat, like at a
Speaker 7: Thai restaurant and you're like, what should.
Speaker 6: Our next vacation be? And then you're like, oh.
Speaker 1: That's never happened with us. But I think.
Speaker 2: Like this didn't work well yeah, because like I haven't
Speaker 2: known anyone that's been to Thailand. I've never thought about.
Speaker 6: Go to Mexico, right, but I love their food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you guys lived near Mexico, so that was normal.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Thailand? I want, she said, Mexico.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying like I also, yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 7: guess when I'm eating Italian food, you.
Speaker 2: Want to go to Italy?
Speaker 1: To go to Italy? Bangkok? That's Thailand. It's Thailand, it's capital.
Speaker 1: There's a talent called pa. Don't let's watch say p
Speaker 1: h u k e t mm hmm. I'm going to
Speaker 1: say probably like foquet, but it would be easy to
Speaker 1: not say it like that.
Speaker 2: I think there's a restaurant.
Speaker 4: There's a restaurant here called Typhoo.
Speaker 1: It's called pouquette.
Speaker 4: But here I al we say, yeah, I thought you might, you.
Speaker 1: Know so, And one of the Google searches how to
Speaker 1: tie people say that word, which I guess is pouquet.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Thailand, Oh yeah, I never been. I wonder
Speaker 1: what the flight is the Thailand. It's got to be
Speaker 1: like twenty hours.
Speaker 2: Where is Thailand?
Speaker 7: I don't know?
Speaker 1: Asia?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like is it above Australia like that far Asia?
Speaker 1: I think it's probably on the oh. I think I
Speaker 1: think you probably go the opposite way to get there.
Speaker 1: But it's close. I mean a lot of Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the long way, like that's what I've been A'll show
Speaker 1: you that's about what that flight was.
Speaker 4: And it only cost US fourteen dollars.
Speaker 1: Okay, if you want to go to Bangkok thirteen ninety four. Oh,
Speaker 1: I was into ty food yesterday. I thought, man, I'd
Speaker 1: love to go to Bangkok.
Speaker 2: So you booked it.
Speaker 4: Oh, the cheapest month to fly to Thailand.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to figure out where this is. So
Speaker 1: Australia happens, and then up into the left on a
Speaker 1: map seems to be Thailand. Am I correct on that? Mic?
Speaker 1: So I wonder if you could go if you're in
Speaker 1: New York, if you go the other way around.
Speaker 2: It's probably closer going the West Coast way.
Speaker 1: It is if you're on the West coast. But I
Speaker 1: wonder if you go east coast, if you could just
Speaker 1: go that way, you gotta fly over like Africa and
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 2: I guess that seems further it is. I mean on
Speaker 2: the map where it seems like it's not bad. I think,
Speaker 2: like in real I'll touch my fingers do to get
Speaker 2: there right exactly? I can do it all the way there.
Speaker 2: A fake Amazon driver's swapping packages. Excuse me, swiping packages
Speaker 2: in Virginia, that'd be a pretty easy thing to pull off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get a white.
Speaker 2: Van easy, one of those best.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of those best that you can buy for
Speaker 1: ten bucks. Yeah, you could actually just get a normal
Speaker 1: car and do it, but that would seem a little
Speaker 1: shadier because even when it's a real Amazon person in
Speaker 1: a normal car or it feels shady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but just put your hazard lights on. Then you're
Speaker 2: just like, oh, Sam's exactly.
Speaker 1: No, I agree. But if you can commit to the
Speaker 1: white van, that really is next level, not like a.
Speaker 6: Work truck, white van like a little I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters.
Speaker 2: If there's a white van pulls up, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I'm like, do whatever you want. You must be what
Speaker 1: you say you are. Because you're in a white van.
Speaker 1: You've committed to a white van.
Speaker 2: Amy's right, though, not one of those like old school
Speaker 2: white vans.
Speaker 6: I got candy in the back tinted window.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to me if it's in a white van.
Speaker 1: You do whatever you want. That's basically a license to
Speaker 1: come and do whatever you'd like to do. That is
Speaker 1: your all access passage.
Speaker 2: It's worth it to like white packages though, like what's what?
Speaker 2: What are you going to get a good one?
Speaker 1: I think the odds are if you get a bunch
Speaker 1: of them, some of them are going to be good. Yeah.
Speaker 5: You gotta think how many packages Amazon delivers in a
Speaker 5: neighborhood per day. If you just drive through and get
Speaker 5: fifty packages, one of those is going to be a
Speaker 5: gold mine.
Speaker 1: Or even you don't even need it. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a goal mine yet. You have if you just
Speaker 1: need a bunch of like Coppert.
Speaker 2: Like, the last ten packages I got in my house
Speaker 2: were like notebooks, uh, card sleeves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could sell that stuff, okay bay? Oh
Speaker 1: like a palette? Well, I say like a palette, but
Speaker 1: I would say like you could sell it individually. What's
Speaker 1: the last thing you got from Amazon? Look at your hand?
Speaker 1: Do you guys have it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I already know curtain runs.
Speaker 1: Curtain rods.
Speaker 2: See, like, what are you gonna do with that?
Speaker 1: Sell it on eBay?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But then think, yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Ordered the wrong size, so actually I'm gonna return.
Speaker 1: So let me see my last orders here.
Speaker 2: You want our orders or my wife's orders whatever you
Speaker 2: have up on your deal? Last one? Oh, I didn't
Speaker 2: know we got that.
Speaker 1: Eddie finds out it's a basketball hoop. What do you
Speaker 1: mean like the rim?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the thing that it's the whole thing. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess we're getting a basketball hoop in the backyard.
Speaker 1: I have a baseball like case that you put like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you call display baseball card for
Speaker 1: a baseball Oh, Mickey Manto baseball. So I got a
Speaker 1: couple of them, which one I like? So I ordered that.
Speaker 1: I have a I Love Toby t shirt that I
Speaker 1: wore at the Oklahoma game.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 1: I have a obs obbs bought tiny two light four
Speaker 1: K webcam. I bought two of these. I don't wannd
Speaker 1: sharing the story. There's somebody that does a morning show.
Speaker 1: They're actually on at the same time against us in
Speaker 1: a city that we're on. But I'm I really like
Speaker 1: the guy and their company doesn't pay for them to
Speaker 1: have webcams or anything. And I was talking with and
Speaker 1: I was like, you guys don't even have the ability
Speaker 1: to webcam, like to strain your show or create content.
Speaker 1: He's like, now, they're don't pay for any of that.
Speaker 1: So I bought multiple cameras and a switcher and meld
Speaker 1: it to them what and I was, what, wait for
Speaker 1: the competitor.
Speaker 4: You mailed the competitor devices to make them better.
Speaker 1: I mailed a person that's on at the same time
Speaker 1: as us, help so they can actually do a better show.
Speaker 2: That that's like, let's like say like you're you're the
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys and you're playing the Chiefs and the Chiefs
Speaker 2: don't have like good helmets or you're like, hey, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna buy your helmets so we can.
Speaker 5: They don't have a they don't have a good wide receiver,
Speaker 5: so hey, man, you can have our wide receiver.
Speaker 4: Like what are we doing?
Speaker 1: I think looking at other radio shows as like competition
Speaker 1: is kind of failing at understanding what media even is
Speaker 1: these days. And so I was just like, hey, they
Speaker 1: do a good show. I just like them to do
Speaker 1: a show and have the ability to share it and
Speaker 1: keep a long career. Me. I don't feel like I'm
Speaker 1: competing with other shows. I feel like I'm competing with
Speaker 1: the world and we're doing our show on the radio,
Speaker 1: but on podcasts and on YouTube and on social and
Speaker 1: you know, my goal is hopefully at some point during
Speaker 1: someone's day they find fifteen to twenty minutes to consume
Speaker 1: something of what we're doing. So if one element of
Speaker 1: that is the live show, and someone happens to go, man,
Speaker 1: they do great videos, I'll listen to them over the
Speaker 1: Bollybunch show. Well then we weren't doing the show good
Speaker 1: enough anyway. Yeah, so yeah, but I bought some of
Speaker 1: those cameras and send it to the show so they
Speaker 1: could build their own.
Speaker 2: That's cool, man.
Speaker 1: Well but I'm also not going to say who they
Speaker 1: are right.
Speaker 2: Now, right right, No one needs to know that.
Speaker 1: But I bout that, and I bought some cars, some
Speaker 1: top loaders, somewhat top loaders. For cards. Do you get
Speaker 1: your cards, by the way, your basketball?
Speaker 4: Yeah them?
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, you got a crap.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just got a bunch of the same card.
Speaker 1: You didn't get that one?
Speaker 4: No autograph? Autograph?
Speaker 1: Right? You got yours? Or no? Yeah, I got online.
Speaker 3: That was a confusing thing though The cards looked the
Speaker 3: exact same as ones that were autographed, So it's really
Speaker 3: a jump scare.
Speaker 1: You think you won, but then that's not true. You
Speaker 1: don't have the white one with the triple. It wasn't white.
Speaker 3: I have Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and the other third lebron.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's on a blue with straight lines in
Speaker 1: the middle. The triple auto is on white.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm just missing the autographs. You don't have a
Speaker 3: white one, right, Yeah, but it's a whole different card.
Speaker 3: You're saying it looks like it doesn't. The cards are
Speaker 3: two different collogs.
Speaker 5: I had no idea what even the card looked like.
Speaker 5: I just bought them because you said it. So I
Speaker 5: just opened up. I was like, oh, and I went through.
Speaker 5: I was like, I was like, what if it's in
Speaker 5: the middle and it Wasn't.
Speaker 1: It all the same? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But my last purchase was a buckle Bee easy car
Speaker 5: seat buckle release for children.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 4: And I bought some water shoes the adults.
Speaker 5: Yeah, water shoes for two ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Or like the poll for you.
Speaker 5: Well, I was going to on vacation and we were
Speaker 5: going to go in a gross pool like algae, and
Speaker 5: they said you need water shoes.
Speaker 4: So two ninety nine warre them threw them in the trash.
Speaker 2: The hotel had a gross pool.
Speaker 4: No no, no, it was out in nature.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: My freshman year of the dorm, they were like, you
Speaker 1: need water shoes. Shower in the dorm. Yeah, And so
Speaker 1: I wore them for like two days and then I
Speaker 1: just got lazy and then no, never got foot fungused.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good.
Speaker 1: I think it was just precautionary. Hey, Ray, being from Michigan,
Speaker 1: were you a Tom Brady guy.
Speaker 3: No, I just went to high school in Michigan, so
Speaker 3: I'm not any Michigan sports. And my dad went to
Speaker 3: Michigan State, so I am I'm more state than Michigan.
Speaker 1: But you claim to be from Michigan.
Speaker 3: It was just the easiest to say because when I
Speaker 3: went to college, I'm from Michigan. But then when I
Speaker 3: was came here, I said I was from Texas because
Speaker 3: I went to college in Texas. So when you're in
Speaker 3: high school, where you say you're from Wyoming because I
Speaker 3: went to elementary and middle school in Wyoming. I've never
Speaker 3: associated Ray with Wyoming, and it feels like that's more
Speaker 3: of who he is than Michigan.
Speaker 4: But no, high school is more defining.
Speaker 1: But I kind of was on the border. But it's
Speaker 1: like the years. How many years in Michigan versus how
Speaker 1: many years in Wyoming.
Speaker 3: Wyoming was fourteen years the skin I was there for three, baby,
Speaker 3: I think that's the differently Wyoming.
Speaker 2: He was born in Wyoming.
Speaker 1: I was spent fourteen years was life there?
Speaker 2: Where were you born?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a long story, but I was born.
Speaker 1: It can't be a long story. Where were you born?
Speaker 3: I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, because I
Speaker 3: was a twin and it was an emergency thing, so
Speaker 3: we took a life flight to Utah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna get to this, and yes we're about
Speaker 1: to be down with the pre but you were living
Speaker 1: in show. I want to start with this in post
Speaker 1: show and we come back. But you're not a Tom
Speaker 1: Brady guy. You've been watching him do our commentary. Yeah
Speaker 1: he's bad. I think he's gotten better.
Speaker 3: I made it through one, but I haven't watched since
Speaker 3: are What are your thoughts? He's just the way that
Speaker 3: he structures words. He's just really slow. The one time
Speaker 3: he was great is when he ripped on Baker Mayfield
Speaker 3: because he was kind of being himself. I just feel
Speaker 3: like in his head, he's really just trying to be
Speaker 3: bland and fake, and that's not great for broadcasting. If
Speaker 3: he was kind of his edgy self how he talks
Speaker 3: to his friends, he would be a better podcaster.
Speaker 1: He kind of has a nerdy voice. I have a
Speaker 1: nerdy voice, but he kind of has a nerdy voice,
Speaker 1: and if you don't see him, you use here the
Speaker 1: voice kind of chune like Tom Brady.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, don't you think he has weird pauses?
Speaker 1: I think he's not natural because he hasn't done it ever. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I do think he's getting a lot better. He's
Speaker 1: in four games now, yeah, and like two or three
Speaker 1: of them were Cowboys games. Yes, week one was a disaster.
Speaker 3: But you can overcome a weird voice because if you
Speaker 3: think about Romo, oh no, Jim made he's playing. It's
Speaker 3: a weird voice, but he's phenomenal. So explain that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Romo blew up because he was the first guy
Speaker 1: to like put his butt out there and predict plays.
Speaker 1: I bet they're going to do this, and then he
Speaker 1: was pretty accurate. Then people start to get annoyed with it. Yeah, Like, no,
Speaker 1: you're only annoyed because he's so good at it.
Speaker 4: He started getting it wrong a lot.
Speaker 1: Well that's what happens.
Speaker 2: You think you think broadcasters can just be themselves, not
Speaker 2: to an extent though, right, You can't just say whatever
Speaker 2: you want like.
Speaker 5: Tom Brady did against Baker Mayfield. I mean he let
Speaker 5: it rip and that was awesome.
Speaker 1: We'll jump back in on this. So we got to
Speaker 1: go do the show now. Oh yeah, this isn't the show.
Speaker 1: That is the pre show. We're done, Red. Do you
Speaker 1: want to end this with some kind of voice over
Speaker 1: and say well we'll be back or something. Just play
Speaker 1: music and say I don't come off, go off the cuff,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. The end done, So finito. That was the
Speaker 1: pre show and something about the post shows coming in
Speaker 1: back co soon, post it, Postmate, postcard, the post show. Okay,
Speaker 1: after this break, interesting, thank you, it's time for the
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones post show.
Speaker 3: Here's your host, Bobby the Bones.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how long that podcast commercial break was,
Speaker 1: but it could have been three minutes. I'm not sure,
Speaker 1: but for us it was hours. So it's been hours
Speaker 1: since we've been on. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: That is crazy how that works.
Speaker 1: So now it's after this show. We've now finished this show.
Speaker 1: So a couple notes that I made to go back to.
Speaker 1: He says where Ray's from?
Speaker 2: Yeah, where was he born?
Speaker 1: That's right, he's born in Salt Lake City. We didn't
Speaker 1: know any of this, by the way, I knew he
Speaker 1: had spent a brief period of time. I'm in Wyoming,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know it was most of his life
Speaker 1: because he's always been Ray from Michigan, the Mitten from
Speaker 1: the North, like the Thumb and the Mitten or whatever.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, the actually the above the Thumb and the
Speaker 3: Minton Classic.
Speaker 1: It's not even the Minton. So why would you not
Speaker 1: be Ray from Wyoming if there were fourteen years of
Speaker 1: your life? It's been there.
Speaker 3: Honestly, when I lived in Wyoming, it wasn't cool. Now Yellowstone,
Speaker 3: Lady Wilson. Everybody goes to Wyoming. Man, are they stoner's
Speaker 3: or surfers?
Speaker 1: It's the cool thing.
Speaker 3: Back in the day, it was the most loser state
Speaker 3: of the fifty and so I tried to avoid that.
Speaker 3: I would even tell people when I moved to Michigan,
Speaker 3: I'd say, oh, yeah, I'm from Colorado.
Speaker 1: I definitely wouldn't think it was a loser state. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't as trendy. I'd say, it wasn't as trendy.
Speaker 1: Can not people like rich people from la go and
Speaker 1: buy places in Wyoming and Montana. And it's funny too,
Speaker 1: when people do you think Arkansas, I'm like, who cares, oh, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not going to use Arkansas and
Speaker 1: nobody from there.
Speaker 2: Like you are from where you're from. I agree, no
Speaker 2: matter what state it.
Speaker 1: Is, well, it got to be real.
Speaker 2: It was up.
Speaker 3: Michigan was a step up, so that was actually pretty
Speaker 3: cool to say Michigan. But then when I was in
Speaker 3: Texas and I moved here, it was actually awesome to
Speaker 3: say Texas and my wife would go, well, he's not
Speaker 3: from Texas, He's from Michigan, and that kind of seemed
Speaker 3: like a step down. Texas was probably the coolest place
Speaker 3: I was able to say I was from. I'll be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, Austin, Texas. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're in my head, Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: What if you were from Plano, Odessa, mid like Dallas
Speaker 1: doesn't feel as cool as Austin Dallas.
Speaker 3: You would say a more wealthy area because I had
Speaker 3: friends there and they'd always say, oh yeah East Plano, Man,
Speaker 3: which was like.
Speaker 1: The colony, but not all of Dallas's. Yeah McKinney, dude,
Speaker 1: I hear you. It's just weird that we have known
Speaker 1: you for I don't know what year do we mean
Speaker 1: if you had a guess we met in two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine. Okay, so you're looking at fifteen years and
Speaker 1: not once. It's Ray been like, I'm really from Wyoming, right,
Speaker 1: because people choose to share what they wanted. He thought
Speaker 1: like he did a tour stop there, like he was
Speaker 1: on tour and did a weekend in Wyoming.
Speaker 4: Question why why did he leave Wyoming?
Speaker 3: My dad I was a kid, so I was unemployed,
Speaker 3: but my dad's employment took him to Michigan, whereas most
Speaker 3: kids are fully employed.
Speaker 2: And yeah, he was a lumberjat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the lumber mill took his to Michigan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So is right now from Wyoming?
Speaker 4: Or do we is?
Speaker 1: I just don't know where. Like at my core, I
Speaker 1: am with Ray and boy's from His name's not Ray Mundo,
Speaker 1: he's not Hispanic, Mexican Latin, he's nothing.
Speaker 4: So it fits that he's from Michigan if he's Ray
Speaker 4: Mundo from Michigan. So none of it is actually accurate.
Speaker 2: I mean, do we really know who this guy is? No,
Speaker 2: we don't, dude, I'll never forget the day I met him.
Speaker 1: You ever see catch me if you can. I think
Speaker 1: we're dealing with one of those Tell me about your
Speaker 1: day of meeting Ray.
Speaker 2: I went to your house. You're having some people over,
Speaker 2: we're grilling, and Ray shows up with his buddy South Beach,
Speaker 2: and I was like, who They're both in muffled muffle.
Speaker 2: They're both in muscle shirts Wife Peter shirts, like muscle
Speaker 2: tight tight muscle shirts and like board shorts and they're
Speaker 2: like bodybuilders, super Tan. I'm like, who are these bros?
Speaker 2: Ray Man?
Speaker 1: Ray? When he started the show, the most hated personality
Speaker 1: in the history of the show, in like a villain
Speaker 1: wrestling type way. People weren't changing the station because they
Speaker 1: hated Ray. People were enthralled by him and the stupid
Speaker 1: thing because he was a bros. Broce got older, he's
Speaker 1: gotten married. He's actually a really smart guy. But he
Speaker 1: had his callar popped and he had the choker necklace
Speaker 1: on hat backwards and was just so I don't want
Speaker 1: to say, confident, like super Tan, and people hated him.
Speaker 2: And he'd call you pimp, like that's how he's like
Speaker 2: still does does he still do?
Speaker 1: Yeah? But I was just I was in love from
Speaker 1: his love at first sight. I guess I met Ray
Speaker 1: though he was an intern for the sports station and
Speaker 1: it was like thirteen lunch Worts station thirty hundred BU
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred Zone thirteen Zone AM station on Austin. And
Speaker 1: they had asked me to do like is it Christmas
Speaker 1: or Thanksgiving? Right Christmas time? They were like to do
Speaker 1: some sports like yeah, sure, and I was like, gonna
Speaker 1: have a produce, don't have anything, and I don't think
Speaker 1: they've even paid me. And so ray was worked Scoob okay, Scooba,
Speaker 1: just walk in and go, oh my god, yeah, hold on,
Speaker 1: let me finish the story. I'm coming to you. Tell
Speaker 1: you I'm pretty Hold that emotion. Hold that emotion. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I was like Raybo producer, say yes, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden we worked together, and then he came
Speaker 1: outs an interurn in wildly. Then what are you mad at?
Speaker 1: Who can you say?
Speaker 8: I want to curse because I can't get it out
Speaker 8: without cursing.
Speaker 1: But what, okay, you give me an idea of what
Speaker 1: just happened.
Speaker 8: So an idea of what just happened. It's been happening
Speaker 8: for a few weeks. And I raised my hand that
Speaker 8: there was a problem. And then people are saying there
Speaker 8: isn't a problem with technology. With technology, okay, it's a
Speaker 8: lot of inside baseball, but.
Speaker 1: This is the perfect place for it.
Speaker 8: Okay, let me try to catch my breath here because
Speaker 8: I'm irate and I want to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we heard you walk in without you knowing you go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I just slammed your stuff down.
Speaker 8: So I don't like being called an idiot or a
Speaker 8: liar when I'm not. So here's what happened. We've switched
Speaker 8: over our Most of our stations now are in this
Speaker 8: new program called sound Plus, which is a pretty good program,
Speaker 8: but it's not fully ready to be rolled out yet.
Speaker 8: They're forcing it upon people to roll out when it's
Speaker 8: not ready. Our old system is next gen also has
Speaker 8: its problems, but for the most.
Speaker 1: Part works explain what a system is like what are
Speaker 1: we using the system for.
Speaker 8: So use the system to play our commercials, to play.
Speaker 1: The songs the computer program orputer.
Speaker 8: Program basically, and it sends out our audio to all
Speaker 8: the affiliates our stations that take the show. And this
Speaker 8: is a little insider for people who are listening. Whenever
Speaker 8: it's a problem with the show and there's dead air
Speaker 8: or something wrong, it's not us, it's the program, and
Speaker 8: no one's jumping on it.
Speaker 1: It's the computer program. Exactly. Yeah, is it the local
Speaker 1: affiliate or is it Well.
Speaker 8: In this situation, it's the whole program, which affects anyone
Speaker 8: on Sound Plus, which is like one hundred plus markets.
Speaker 8: So I can only monitor what's happening here in Nashville
Speaker 8: on WSIX, the Big ninety eight, ninety seven point nine,
Speaker 8: and so what I hear there, I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 8: is a problem, and it probably is blanketed across all
Speaker 8: of Sound Plus stations. The most recent problem that we're
Speaker 8: dealing with right now is we have a delay on
Speaker 8: radio for if any cursing or whatever. It's about a
Speaker 8: standard forty second delay. I've noticed since we switched six,
Speaker 8: the local station in Nashville, that there's a longer delay.
Speaker 8: And Raven was like, hey, man, there's a long delay.
Speaker 8: And I was like, I don't don't. Yeah, I heard
Speaker 8: it too, and I was like, okay, let me keep
Speaker 8: listening to it.
Speaker 1: And I noticed, for example, I walked to the hall
Speaker 1: which the speaker is coming over you can hear it,
Speaker 1: and there it was yesterday's show.
Speaker 7: I went, yeah, I went to the bathroom and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 7: what we set like? When I went to the bathroom,
Speaker 7: I was like we said that five minutes ago, just got.
Speaker 8: But the problem with that is, let's say it makes
Speaker 8: you look stupid, Bobby. So let's say, for example, you say, hey, Luke,
Speaker 8: Brian's on tomorrow six twenty, but if you go to
Speaker 8: punch in a six twenty, it's commercials because there's a
Speaker 8: four minute delay and you wait around six twenty one
Speaker 8: and most people are gonna punch out, and then we
Speaker 8: lose that credit because they thought he's gonna be on
Speaker 8: six twenty and they think they think, oh, we miss
Speaker 8: it or whatever, but in reality, there's a four minute
Speaker 8: delay now. And so I called it out and they're like, no,
Speaker 8: there's no there's no four minute delay or whatever you're saying,
Speaker 8: and I was like, no, there definitely is. Like here's
Speaker 8: all the instances that I've seen it, and here's the
Speaker 8: timeframe of where we started the break, and then when
Speaker 8: the audience hears the break.
Speaker 1: And so you feel like they're telling you that you're
Speaker 1: stupid because you're wrong, or are they telling you they
Speaker 1: don't think you're right, and you're interpreting that as they're
Speaker 1: telling me I'm stupid even though they're not.
Speaker 8: So what they've said was, here's the delays that we're capturing,
Speaker 8: which are the standard forty to fifty seconds or whatever.
Speaker 8: Where you getting the name information from? And someone said,
Speaker 8: not from engineering, it's from the Bobby Bone Show. Like
Speaker 8: that's not coming from us, we can't confirm that. And
Speaker 8: I'm like, well, now you're calling me an idiot because
Speaker 8: you're telling you should have my back and know that
Speaker 8: this is a problem.
Speaker 2: Also listen to the station, you'll hear it.
Speaker 8: So then I'm like, all right, now, I'm gonna be
Speaker 8: a petty little bitch and I'm going to work and
Speaker 8: I'm going to record a video showing when Bobby starts
Speaker 8: the break here.
Speaker 1: In the studio called receipts.
Speaker 8: Then I have to walk out to the hallway and
Speaker 8: hold my phone up to the speaker and show that
Speaker 8: Billy Zimmerman song just started Bailey, where Bobby had actually
Speaker 8: already came out of Billy Zimmerman and started his content.
Speaker 8: So I have to stand there like an idiot for
Speaker 8: three minutes showing the difference in time of when you
Speaker 8: start to when the actual content starts for the listener,
Speaker 8: which throws off teases, it throws off quarter hours.
Speaker 1: Did you tell them that you send in the video.
Speaker 1: I have a couple of questions here, Yeah, because you're
Speaker 1: getting pretty rolled up, and the danger of you getting
Speaker 1: riled up is eventually I get really riled up, and
Speaker 1: that's bad for all of us.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I try not to tell you about it. Weeks you
Speaker 8: caught me coming in all pissed off, so I gotta
Speaker 8: tell you.
Speaker 1: So, did you send them that video? Yes? I did?
Speaker 8: And then within that video there was also ten seconds
Speaker 8: of dead air. Wow, So I'm like, not only does
Speaker 8: the song goes, this is where it ends? And it
Speaker 8: literally ended. It was dead air for like ten seconds.
Speaker 1: We just went home. Yeah, we just go home and
Speaker 1: it's dead air the whole time.
Speaker 8: But what happened was it didn't click back into the
Speaker 8: local system to play their top of hours and then
Speaker 8: click into you, So then you have ten seconds of
Speaker 8: dead air. My biggest worry is, because I can't monitor
Speaker 8: all one hundred plus sound plus stations, is this is
Speaker 8: happening all across the floor.
Speaker 1: And it is, And it's one of my biggest issues.
Speaker 1: If somebody comes to me, and I'm gonna be very
Speaker 1: vague because there are certain things you can and can't say.
Speaker 1: If somebody comes and goes hey, And I'll use Greensborough
Speaker 1: as an example because it's not an example. In Greensboro,
Speaker 1: the performance isn't what the performance used to be. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, if I go into my DMS, I've got
Speaker 1: eleven people in Greensboro going, you had dead air for
Speaker 1: four minutes. I'm like, how is the expectation for us
Speaker 1: to continue to perform at a high level. By the way,
Speaker 1: this is not a Greensborough problem. I'd like to say that, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an example. Yeah, but what's the expectation of us
Speaker 1: to perform at a level that we expect of ourselves
Speaker 1: and you expect of us if we don't have the
Speaker 1: resources to actually allow us to perform. It's like going,
Speaker 1: hey man, we need to be a better outfielder. But
Speaker 1: he's like, you didn't give me a glove, but you
Speaker 1: should just try to use your bare hand then and
Speaker 1: try to do the best you can and also be
Speaker 1: an All star because we're paying you to be a
Speaker 1: center fielder. I don't have a glove, so that is
Speaker 1: what really bothers me. And sometimes I just have to
Speaker 1: let that go. But you don't let it go. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I can't. You can't let it go.
Speaker 8: No, I'm not going to because it now it's frustrating
Speaker 8: because now you told me that it isn't your word,
Speaker 8: it's my word, so you're telling me my word is crap,
Speaker 8: and that's bull crap.
Speaker 1: Well, also they're yeah, okay, a couple things I want
Speaker 1: to say. If all your therapist and you were telling
Speaker 1: me this in therapy, this is why i'd say, First
Speaker 1: of all, not everybody thinks you're an idiot because they
Speaker 1: disagree with you. I think you have it and I
Speaker 1: have the same similar issues where I feel like people
Speaker 1: are looking at me in a lesser way because there's
Speaker 1: a disagreement, or maybe they're covering their butts and they're
Speaker 1: just protecting themselves. But I take that and interpret that
Speaker 1: as I think that I am the more on I
Speaker 1: don't think people think you're an idiot. I think, if anything,
Speaker 1: they know you're not an idiot, and they're just trying
Speaker 1: to cover their butts, or they just disagree with you.
Speaker 1: But I don't think anybody thinks you're an idiot. Like you,
Speaker 1: you are so well respected and trusted and valued not
Speaker 1: just by me, obviously by me, but in the company
Speaker 1: that I don't think anybody thinks you're an idiot, okay, So.
Speaker 8: I vitalize it, and I always look at I care
Speaker 8: most importantly about the integrity of the brand and the
Speaker 8: brand of our show and the company.
Speaker 1: And that's why I love about you. I do. I
Speaker 1: I don't want you to take that, to take it personal,
Speaker 1: because it's very hard not to obviously. Oh yeah, but
Speaker 1: like I love the Four Agreements, and you can read
Speaker 1: that book in forty five minutes. I'm going to get
Speaker 1: it for you. And even if listen, there are seasons
Speaker 1: of years where I don't look at a single written
Speaker 1: word because I'm read out. I've probably read like thirteen
Speaker 1: books so far this year. It's October. That's a little
Speaker 1: blow average for me, I think. But I like the
Speaker 1: last thirty months haven't even looked at it. I won't
Speaker 1: even look at a piece of paper with the word on, etcetera.
Speaker 1: I'm not in that season. But even if you don't read,
Speaker 1: this is a perfect book for you in this situation,
Speaker 1: because there's a whole thing on it. It's a very
Speaker 1: very small book, there's a whole thing on it on
Speaker 1: don't take anything personal in business. Yeah, And that's what
Speaker 1: this is. They don't hate you, They don't respect you
Speaker 1: less a little bit. They're probably just covering for themselves
Speaker 1: and they have to do this in order so they don't,
Speaker 1: you know, look bad loser, job la la lah Well.
Speaker 8: And the program that they're switching us to isn't even
Speaker 8: fully ready to go yet, so that's another problem.
Speaker 1: They keet forcing it upon us. Yes, but that is
Speaker 1: not a personal thing toward you. That is something we
Speaker 1: will figure out. And it's okay to be upset, but
Speaker 1: don't take it personally because you'll have a heart attack.
Speaker 1: I'm watching you right now and your head might explode.
Speaker 1: And it's because you think people might call you an
Speaker 1: idiot or might think nobody thinks less of you. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, nobody thinks less.
Speaker 8: And then in that moment as I walk in, I
Speaker 8: listen to the feed here, I'm not saying you're wrong,
Speaker 8: you're right, and the commercial break doesn't hit, So then
Speaker 8: we have that stupid bed playing for four minutes. So
Speaker 8: now they're missing revenue and there's a lot of technology
Speaker 8: and they think that's Ray and they think that Bobby
Speaker 8: and they're like, oh, you guys know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: No, we don't. We do know what we're doing. We
Speaker 1: get blamed for a lot of things. That's part of
Speaker 1: the nature of the job. We we're here, we get
Speaker 1: blamed for it. There are markets that are like, the
Speaker 1: show doesn't do well for us because whatever da da da,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, you've missc complexe s, pot blocks,
Speaker 1: have been committing dead air. There's not a it's not
Speaker 1: your fault market that there's not a board op to
Speaker 1: make sure things stay. It's not. You just have to
Speaker 1: do the best job that you can do. You can
Speaker 1: get upset by it, but there's only a level because
Speaker 1: you can't control it. You can try to influence it,
Speaker 1: but you can't control it.
Speaker 6: So if the.
Speaker 7: Goal is for every show or every station in the
Speaker 7: company to do well, why are they rolling out a
Speaker 7: program that's not ready Because.
Speaker 8: That's what we do here.
Speaker 1: No, that's not the answer. Culture is take a breath. Okay,
Speaker 1: take a breath. If you were to ask someone who's
Speaker 1: making the decision to roll out the program.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like I would say, I know you want us
Speaker 7: to do well, So why do you.
Speaker 1: Think they're rolling the program out?
Speaker 8: I think so the program because I've used it when
Speaker 8: I was doing iheard nineties. It functions amazingly, especially on
Speaker 8: the back end. For someone like Ray loading audio, it's
Speaker 8: literally literally a drag and drop. Now he has to
Speaker 8: do like four or five steps to load a piece
Speaker 8: of audio. Where there's a lot of great benefits to this,
Speaker 8: and you can also use it from home. You can
Speaker 8: be on your laptop and record a show from your
Speaker 8: So there's a lot of great things for it. It's
Speaker 8: just not fully ready to roll out, so good respond,
Speaker 8: don't react.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't think you would have liked what you
Speaker 1: said there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, uh.
Speaker 1: Macro. I think the program is better, much better. Micro.
Speaker 1: There are still some bugs in it at the level
Speaker 1: that we needed, and sometimes we can't discover those bugs
Speaker 1: until we use it ourselves. That makes sense, and it
Speaker 1: takes people like Scuba Togo. It's not working, so then
Speaker 1: those bugs are then so but until they don't work,
Speaker 1: they can't squash the bugs. I would encourage you to
Speaker 1: continue to monitor because without your eyes and ears, we'll
Speaker 1: be in a load of trouble because I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I can't monitor all this stuff, so I need you
Speaker 1: to do that. What I want from you, though, is
Speaker 1: not to take everything so personal. Yeah, because it's nothing
Speaker 1: personal towards you. I struggled with that for a long time,
Speaker 1: and I still do at times take things very personal
Speaker 1: that are not personal to me. I got into it
Speaker 1: and Eddie was with me while was happening. I'll get
Speaker 1: and I'll be very generic about this. I got into
Speaker 1: an email situation and Eddie and I were working out.
Speaker 1: It was like three o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 6: You're working out checking your work email.
Speaker 1: It started like two fifty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was right before we sat.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, and I was like, hold on, gus.
Speaker 2: And it was kind of energy to work out even harder.
Speaker 1: I was so fired up because in essence, there was
Speaker 1: an executive in the company questioning my work ethic.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, exactly it.
Speaker 6: And it ended up on an emails you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because somebody else forwarded it to me and I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't And maybe they did, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe they didn't think I would take it weird.
Speaker 1: Maybe they didn't mean to keep put that part in there.
Speaker 1: And it was it was now time for reply all meltdown,
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, you can say a lot
Speaker 1: of things about me at times. Do I come off
Speaker 1: do I come a little strong because I feel like
Speaker 1: I can be overly dedicated, or I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: absolutely right, or I feel like I have to feel
Speaker 1: like i'm asolute right or nothing's gonna happen. Absolutely yes, sure,
Speaker 1: but never question my work ethic. And I replied back
Speaker 1: when I said something, I don't regret saying it. I
Speaker 1: regret that I felt like I had to say it.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say what it was because
Speaker 1: it's not a good look for me. But I do
Speaker 1: so hot. But basically, basically I was just like, I
Speaker 1: bet you I do more working.
Speaker 6: Ok.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, maybe you scoop. It was on how many people?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I I was. I was so
Speaker 1: pissed so you called out, But I felt like I
Speaker 1: felt like it was a personal shot at me, because
Speaker 1: that wasn't you're not monitoring this program? Right? That was, Hey,
Speaker 1: this is why can't he do this? And basically the
Speaker 1: thing was we're all working hard, why isn't he? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm like, you're out of your mind.
Speaker 1: You're out of your mind, like you want to play
Speaker 1: the work hard game. And I think people the work
Speaker 1: hard don't have to claim they work hard, right, you don't.
Speaker 1: I don't come on this show and be like I
Speaker 1: work harder than everybody. You know what, I work harder
Speaker 1: than everybody. And mostly it's fear based, and it's insecurity based,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But I was really triggered. And
Speaker 1: I'm just given Eddy played by play of the emails,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, and I'm like, I'm I was so bissed.
Speaker 7: So mentioning fear and I wonder whoever it was or
Speaker 7: whatever was said.
Speaker 1: I saw them in Vegas. I'm pretty sure they were there?
Speaker 1: Were they there?
Speaker 4: Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: He was? I saw him walking, walking right by him,
Speaker 1: and I liked it. I've had good I've had a
Speaker 1: good relationship with him.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean too. I think it's great.
Speaker 1: And he or she to see that, it's a I know,
Speaker 1: and to see that, I was like f him.
Speaker 7: I know, Well, I just wonder if there's something going
Speaker 7: on in his life or with his positions where he
Speaker 7: has fear. And then he responded, God responded, Actually he
Speaker 7: reacted and didn't respond, and the reaction.
Speaker 8: He's in a very high stress position.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think the world that we live in and
Speaker 1: this is how I ha to justify to myself because
Speaker 1: I'm still pissed about that specific comment. You can say
Speaker 1: I don't talk round. You can say I do a
Speaker 1: bad show. You can say I hire all you guys,
Speaker 1: and that was dumb all that's not true. But we
Speaker 1: have a different way that we do our show. Meaning
Speaker 1: it's not like we all come from some broadcasting background.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, and at times the show doesn't sound good.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean the show is not good, but at
Speaker 1: times the show doesn't sound good because we aren't people
Speaker 1: that are paid to be professional sounding. But you cannot
Speaker 1: sound good and also be wildly compelling. And I think
Speaker 1: we most of the time fit that second. I don't
Speaker 1: sound good. I talk fast, my accent's a little thick sometimes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't need to get on that. I was pissed.
Speaker 1: But the nature of this environment now is any media whatsoever,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what it is. It's a struggle to
Speaker 1: make money and stay afloat in general, and the pressure
Speaker 1: is on everybody, and the pressure is at the top
Speaker 1: and it goes all the way down. And my justification
Speaker 1: when I thought he's not a bad guy was I'm
Speaker 1: sure he was stressed from up and there's a pressure
Speaker 1: on him to perform at a certain point and he's
Speaker 1: trying to get the most out of everybody. That comment
Speaker 1: hurt me because that is not how I view myself,
Speaker 1: and I would think that's not how most people view me.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 1: So I was very offended by that, and I replied
Speaker 1: and I reacted, and I didn't respond. It was written,
Speaker 1: it was right. And then I was just showing Eddie
Speaker 1: and I was like, look at this. I'm so pissed.
Speaker 1: And I wanted Eddie to be like, hey man, it's
Speaker 1: all good, don't worry about it, like he doesn't mean that,
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, dude, give it to him.
Speaker 1: Give them the left, give them the right.
Speaker 7: I mean, because I'm like, well, how does like not
Speaker 7: taking anything personally in business, because this feels a little
Speaker 7: bit different, Like there can be a business decision, but
Speaker 7: this was like a personal job at.
Speaker 6: Yours about me, specifically your work ethic and my ethnicity.
Speaker 1: Now I'm kidding, but Scubas. Thing wasn't about him, was
Speaker 1: my point. It wasn't about you as a person or
Speaker 1: you as a worker trying to take it personally. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give this little book and I'm going to make
Speaker 1: you read it. You'll enjoy it and it's quick.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Well, we did a lot of that. Keep hey, keep
Speaker 1: up a good fight though. It shows you care.
Speaker 7: Question.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: When you sent whatever you said, it was like three
Speaker 7: of them back. Okay, but did you Is there a reply?
Speaker 6: Do it?
Speaker 1: Like? Oh that's not one Yeah, one person sent me
Speaker 1: just to me. Yeah, there were replies. I'll keep those.
Speaker 6: Oh I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is just their replies.
Speaker 6: Interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I've forgot all about it and it doesn't
Speaker 1: fight anymore. Mm hm that anyway, race from Wyoming. I
Speaker 1: have so much stuff I wanted to get to and
Speaker 1: I can have time to race from Wyoming.
Speaker 5: Ray.
Speaker 1: It all started because I was asking about Tom White
Speaker 1: talk not Tom Brady. Yeah, Tom Brady.
Speaker 3: How he went on there and he made kind of
Speaker 3: a goat Hall of Famer comment when you're talking about
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield on what did he say?
Speaker 1: I mean, Uh, it's quicker to just play Oh oh,
Speaker 1: go ahead, all right say quote.
Speaker 5: They wanted me to come in, be myself, bring the
Speaker 5: joy back to football for guys.
Speaker 1: Who weren't having as much fun. It's funny because you've
Speaker 1: made this environ room for me, very stressful of hearing
Speaker 1: the food. So I understand where it's coming.
Speaker 9: From your field. It was stressed. Well, I was going
Speaker 9: to say, I thought stressful was not having super Bowl rings.
Speaker 9: So there was a mindset of a champion that I
Speaker 9: took to work every day. This wasn't daycare. If I
Speaker 9: wanted to have fun, I was going to go to
Speaker 9: Disneyland with my kids.
Speaker 1: That's so, that's so awesome. You only get to be
Speaker 1: the greatest by by cracking some eggs and some heads.
Speaker 1: That's cool, that's good. And well, then I was saying,
Speaker 1: you had that quote the other day in the hallway.
Speaker 2: I had a quote what you're staying in the hallway?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 3: It was we had to write a quote on a
Speaker 3: board or anything. No, you just set it offhand.
Speaker 4: Oh what?
Speaker 3: Well, Me and Scuba were kind of worried because we
Speaker 3: had twenty seconds until we were about to go live
Speaker 3: on the air, and so I was like, dude, we
Speaker 3: got to get bones, and Scooba's like, yeah, bones got
Speaker 3: to get in there.
Speaker 1: So like, hey, hey, Bobby, Bobby Bones, get in there.
Speaker 1: Get in there. And you're like, hey, I'm a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. Hall of Fame. Yeah, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah, they were like twenty seconds, and
Speaker 1: I walked by it, and I'm just like, walking in
Speaker 1: the room. Who gives a crap?
Speaker 2: Twenty second walking hall of fame.
Speaker 1: I realize that's funny.
Speaker 8: I died laughing. It was awesome.
Speaker 1: Twenty seconds is ten years in this world. Unless we're
Speaker 1: off the air after Bailey's when this ends or.

Speaker 2: when they say twenty seconds, me and lunchwalks are hall
