Speaker 1: the fifth hour, and Gascon's here. He'll chime in from

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: time to time. Just I'm I gotta warn you on that, Jason,

33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: I have gonna warn you that Guestcon might chime in

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: with an annoying question at some point. So we're I'm

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: kind of I'm kind of used to when he does that,

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, when he does the updates on on the

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: show during the weekend on my show, and I'm like, okay, hey,

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: what's trending, And they'll just say to me, is it Burke? Okay, Okay,

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: that's not Sean Burke. Is it Floris Lukewitch? No, No,

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: don't no, it's not it's not. It's bed to be fair.

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Though I've thrown Jason off once at least what I

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: mentioned is it Sema hyak, and it threw him off,

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: just completely off the reservation. So I get those in

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: from time to time. Yeah, so I feel your same, buddy,

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: I know what's going on here. Well, this is Jason

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: gascon aside. We'll just try to over Gascon's what's known

47
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: as an acquired taste. But nobody's acquired the taste. That's

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: the problem. So that that's the issue. But I'm gonna

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: make it all about us, you know. I want to

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: make it all about us, Jason, because in the early

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: days of Fox Sports Radio, Uh, we did shows together

52
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: and we actually worked together at Extra Sports eleven fifty

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: back back in the day. We're at that station at

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: the same time before Fox Sports Radio existed. But I

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: have fond memories of doing the show with you on

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: the weekends. But most of them, Jason, revolve around food.

57
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Most of them around revolve around food, not necessarily doing

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: the show, but the eating habits that we had in

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: those days. What do you remember about the early days

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: and we were hanging out and I think it was

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: like a Saturday night. I think we were doing something. Uh,

62
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I forget exactly when, but it was in the evening time,

63
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: nighttime hours, and we did a lot of shows together

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: back in those days. Oh he did, Buddy. I remember

65
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: when we first started at even you were on the

66
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Ben and Dave Show, and I would fill limit with

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: Lee Klein and I would come on after you guys,

68
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: and I would come out, and then you would always

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: have something really funny and snarky to say about Lee,

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: and I would go, oh, I hope these guys get

71
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: along well, Okay, I know, I think must. Everything's all right.

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: And then we hooked up again at Fox, and yeah,

73
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: it was like Saturday and Sunday night late night like

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: into the like into the into the next morning. And

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: the food we had, like we would go to the

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: gas station and get like I like, I look at okay,

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: our shows like four hours long. I think one show

78
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: was five hours long, and I would have like three things,

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: a Hostess cupcakes and like two Diet cokes and a

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Diet dr pepper and oh, let me get some cheese

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: and crackers too. Like we had the entire uh area

82
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: covered like in front of him. We would do the

83
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: show from like right next to the keyboards and the

84
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: computers and I think the computers are still the same

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: from when we started back in the early two thousands,

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: and we would have it would be so it would

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: be like a smartest board of gas station food that

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: we would have. And I remember the Hostess cupcakes the

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: most because they must have had like six of those

90
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: every night you did the show together. Yeah, and I

91
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: remember the gummy sharks. That was always because they didn't

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: always have the gummy sharks, so when they had the

93
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: gummy sharks, so that was very big. And then you know,

94
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: this is back in my big eating days, Jason, and

95
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm i double fisting. I got Eminem's in one hand,

96
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: I got gummy bears in the other. I got the

97
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Cheetos over here, I got the frieds over there. Uh

98
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, the Freedo bandidos over there hanging out in

99
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: the back. It was awesome, I mean it was it

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: was great. And now look at us, Jason, all these

101
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: years later, we're still there. I know you left for

102
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: a while, but you're back. And uh, my diet's changed

103
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Are you still eating the crazy diet? No,

104
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: not as much. Man. It was weird that I got

105
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to a point where I said, I just can't keep

106
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: eating like this. I can't. I can't. I just can't

107
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: do it. And now since I stopped drinking diet soda,

108
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: like I've really cut that like now and maybe have

109
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: one every couple of days, we're gonna have a caffeine headache.

110
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: And I noticed how much less I need to eat.

111
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, they're really right that caffeine is a

112
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: diet stimulant, because an appetite stimulant, because yeah, I drink

113
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: diet coke for years. It was I would drink like,

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, three a day, you know, is what I

115
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: would have. I would keep drinking and keep drinking. And

116
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: if days I went out to watch a game or something,

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: oh my god, I just don't a waitress, you hat

118
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: diet coke, keeping coming, keeping coming, did one every ten

119
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: or fifteen minutes. I did one, And then when I

120
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: stopped and I said, I just can't. It's, you know,

121
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: I get to the point where I gotta, I gotta

122
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: start doing something else. And I realized I'm full after

123
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: so much less, Like oh my god, I've eaten a

124
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: piece and a half a pizza and I'm usually it's

125
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: like four pieces, And I go, oh man, I'm kind

126
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: of fulled down. And it's amazing what happened when when

127
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: when I cut that back. So yeah, I'm with you, buddy.

128
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been. It's been something just realizing

129
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: when you change, how how easy it is to go

130
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: back to just, you know, eating what regular people eat

131
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: instead of overnight show. I know, Oh my god, I

132
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: I would eat. I I would just gorge back back

133
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: in the day. And I love soda too. I was

134
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: a huge, huge soda ga. I actually lost a fair

135
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: amount of way to originally when when I gained some

136
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: of it back, but by stopping drinking soda. I was

137
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: a dr pepper guy. Love cherry coke um. And I'm

138
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: the guy that would go in back when seven eleven

139
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: had those like triple big golf things or whatever, the

140
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: double big golfs. I'd go in there, I'd fill it up,

141
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I drink half of it, and then I'd fill it

142
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: up again, and then I would check out of seven eleven.

143
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: That would be that would be my move. This guy

144
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: here is trying to get away with not paying for

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even need a slurpy man. I just need

146
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: an extra dr pepper. Whenever I was I was good

147
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: to go in that and now look at me now,

148
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't even eat most days. Now now I'm like

149
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: getting to this inter minute fasting thing, which is which

150
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: is my new my new mischigas here. And if you

151
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: would have told young me, Jason, you knew me in

152
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: those days, that I would go like two days a

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: week without eating, I would have said, you're insane. I

154
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: would rather die than do that. But look at look

155
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: at me now getting old Jason. I guess it is

156
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: not the lesson there, but my goodness, you know, I

157
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: remember once I forget what we were talking. We talked

158
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: about this. I were so impressed by it. But we

159
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: were doing something and we were talking about a topic

160
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: I forget. You know, you would you would talk, you

161
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: would said what you were going to say. And then

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: I started talking, and you know, I think I talked

163
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: for maybe like not even a minute, like I want

164
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: to say something like that, And in that minute, you

165
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: finished an entire diet Dr Pepper, like you know, talking

166
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: and then I started talking, you opened up the diet

167
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: Dr Pepper and then you stopped and you I was like,

168
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: oh my god, funny, that's the man that usually if

169
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: my print sold, it's fast by I start cheering and

170
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I gotta stop, I gotta stop, and

171
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: went right through it. It It was seconds and you were

172
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: done with an entire diet. Dr Pepper. Well, as you know, Jason,

173
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: it's not easy to become a total fat so you

174
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: really have to work for it. You have to have skills.

175
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: You've got to have skills to get to that level

176
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: and look like the Michelin man. So I did have

177

00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's my face. It's in the top

234

00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: It was a Saturday morning, and you know, it's kind

239
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: of a light time. I think it was during the summer.

240
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's not too much going on these in

241
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: the days before social media isn't as much content out there.

242
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: And so Lee he's like, I'm not doing the show

243

245
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: that the only inbound lines that we're working were the

246
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: hot line numbers, which is the you know, as you know,

247
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: Jason being a radius, the holy grail. You're not supposed

248
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: to give out the hot line number, the warm line.

249
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: They come that's the biggest, So hand to God, Jason Lee.

250
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: Lee does his opening a little monologue and then proceeds

251
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: to He says, well, only for today, I have a

252
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: special number to call in on. He then gives out

253
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: the warm line on the air, for people to call

254
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: in to his show. It was hilarious. Oh my god,

255
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: did that It was awesome? It was awesome. Now, before

256
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: I go too much further, since we've been at Fox

257
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: Sports Radio since the early days, and you left and

258
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: then came back, but you did shows. And this is

259
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: something a name that a lot of people who are

260
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: listening now might not know. But if you've been with

261
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio since the early days, you know this guy,

262
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Sarge the comedian, Sarge the comedian. And have have you

263
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: kept in contact with him? Is he still around? As

264
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: he still? I know? Last I heard he was like

265
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: doing boat comedian comic acts or something like that. I

266
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: I lost contact with him, but he hosted a show

267
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: on on Fox Sports Radio in the in the evening time,

268
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: and I remember, yes sir, it was yes sir, No, sir.

269
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: Was he had some catchphrase that you had to say

270
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: when you called it and no one would say it,

271
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: and he would get very annoyed. Yeah, you know, you

272
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: had to say sir, yes sir to get on the air.

273
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: And anytime someone would get on there, they say, hey,

274
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: you're on the air, and I get great, Hey, I

275
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: think the cowboys. You gotta say sir, yes sir. And

276
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: then there's people who just couldn't say it. They would

277
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: say yes sir, no, no, sir, yes sir, sirr. I

278
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: all right, sorry, I want to talk about the Cowboys. No,

279
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: you have to say sir, yes sir. It gives you

280
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: permission to speak. And sometimes it was really funny because

281
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: I think some people just did it on purpose, like

282
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna say it. I'm gonna say yes, sir,

283
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no sir, I'm gonna say aye aye sir.

284
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say all these things just because I want

285
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: to see how far this goes. Yeah, I was on

286
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: with him at night and uh, we were on for

287
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: a while and then when and he yeah, he did

288
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: wind up going to do I think that's what he's doing.

289
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him in years and years and years, um,

290
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: but I think that's what he's doing. I was doing

291
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: doing comedy on ships, which is I think what he

292
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: did before he came to Fox, like he would be

293
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: the comedian on on a ship, and and that's you know,

294
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: he'd performed like every night and and go on and

295
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what he does. I think that's

296
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: still what he does. Well, if that's what takes. If

297
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: that's what he does, though right now you'd have to

298
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: say he's not doing that because of what's going on

299
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: in the last year right there, there's not Cruises aren't

300
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: really happening right now because of the I can't believe

301
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: anybody's going on cruises right now. I thought you were

302
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: going to bring up somebody from a long time For

303
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: you to bring up Page, that's well, that's my person, Bob.

304
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: You know, Bob, when you talk about wild and crazy man,

305
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: Bob thought that the listener and I, you know, I

306
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: got along with Bob and we had to fall out

307
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: at the end. Apparently he trashed me on Twitter and

308
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: then he apologized for it. But uh yeah, Bob was

309
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: like the guy who replaced Howard cosell at on his

310
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: radio show in New York and all this scene is

311
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: a Detroit guy, but he spent time in and uh

312
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he was a carrier. He thought people listened

313
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the show to the end of

314
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: the show and didn't turn down. And then he also

315
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: the other thing that blew me. He didn't want to

316
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: take calls from cell phones because he saw the quality.

317
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: Can you imagine doing your shows. We're gonna take calls,

318
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: but no cell phones can call in. No one would

319
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: do who's gotta landline? No one's gonna land There would

320
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: be a show with no phone calls. Why had someone's

321
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: calling in this one guy? Woman's eighty five, she's calling

322
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: from the landline. You think about the chiefs? Uh? Now,

323
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: the original Fox Sports radio lineup, they had Jeanie's Alaska,

Speaker 1: You wind up going all day. That's what Rob's Rob's

372
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: a great I love Rob. Rob's one. And Bill. Remember

373
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: Bill Weir When we were doing the Ben and Dave

374
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Show back in the day, we had Bill on and

375
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: he even at that time, he's like he didn't really

376
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: want to be the sports guy. He always wanted to

377
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: get into the news. And I know he's been at

378
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: CNN and other places and done pretty well from somebody,

379
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: but even back then, I think he was kind of

380
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: like he was already looking to get away from the

381
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: sports stuff. He had other aspirations other than being the

382
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: sports guy. Uh yeah, he wanted he like he came

383
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: into KBC. I think you know remember Bill telling me that,

384
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: like they promised them certain things and they didn't deliver

385
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: on it, Like you're supposed to get a show. Uh,

386
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: Like I think he was supposed to get that show

387
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: that Oh whos to Byron Allen remember when it was.

388
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: It was he'd be in a taxi camp and he'd

389
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: frid it around and celebrities would get in and they

390
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: do an interview that they would leave when somebody else

391
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: would get in. Like that was supposed to be his show.

392
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: And then for some reason to ABC like didn't want

393
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: him to do it. He got he got mad. He

394
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: was like, well that's why I came there to be

395
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: he was doing stuff like that, Like that was supposed

396
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: to be his show originally the cabs going out, people

397
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: coming in it was. And then Jerry Seinfeldt now turning

398
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: into a whole big thing where he started doing it.

399
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: Then he does comedians getting coffee with it. So yeah,

400
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: it turned out to be a great idea. Twenty years

401
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: ago there you go. He's ahead of his time. Yeah,

402
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: and then you worked at you worked in the NFL

403
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: network for a while. You did that, and then now

404
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: do you like TV better than radio? Jason? Are you

405
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: more of a radio guy? Well, I'll tell you it's

406
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: in the beginning for TV was great because it was

407
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: is like, you know, because I first started doing TV,

408
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: like I did some bits on ESPN, like I was

409
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: on Romans Burning, and I would be a panelist. I

410
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: actually guest hosted a few times, which was awesome. And

411
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: the one thing I noticed was that I'm like, okay,

412
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: well here we needed we need we need a big

413
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: take on this. I'm like, okay, well what Yeah, it's

414
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: got to be like ninety seconds, So can you do

415
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, can I do ninety sentence on a big tent? Really?

416
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: You know what I do do a radio? Right? We

417
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: spent twelve minutes at a time on big stories and

418
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: we just keep going and go you need ninety seconds? Yeah? Sure,

419
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: I could give you ninety seconds. So for a while

420
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: it was so different, and it was fun because you're

421
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: boiling down everything you're talking about and you're really getting

422
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: it into you know, a certain amount of time, like boy,

423
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: this is fun. It was. It was an easier uh

424
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: segue to do it because it was going from you know,

425
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: creating all this content, you're creating a little bit you know,

426
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: doing the same things but creating less content. And I

427
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: was like, wow, it was great and it was grateful

428
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: a while, and doing NFL Network was great for a while,

429
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: and then towards the end that was like, boy, I

430
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: really missed being able to talk a lot. Yeah, it was.

431
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: It was something I'm like, boy, I really miss like

432
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: this story right here. I'd love to talk about this

433
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: and this and this. So I kind of came full

434
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: circle where radio was, you know, hey, this is it

435
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: was awful with what I wanted that I wanted to

436
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: try TV for a while and I did it. Then

437
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: I realized how much I missed radio and came back

438
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: to it, so you know, it was it was kind

439
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: of a yin and yang. But I'm glad I'm getting

440
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: to do all of it now. And uh, but radio

441
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: clearly is hey, I'd like being able to have some

442
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: time to go through a topic or have some fun

443
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: and tell a joke and tell a story where there's

444
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: no real time to do that on TV. So this

445
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: is actually a much better. I think it feels like

446
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: a much better for that. Uh for me, Well, you know,

447
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,200

457
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: have talked about this so much, do you feel that

458
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the format radio wise is easier even though you have

459
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: to abide by a clock when you know you're talking

460
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: about measurements and audiences and all that other bs. Do

461
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: you feel like it's still easier than it is for

462
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: television or do you think it's the other way around. Um,

463
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's easier from the perspective

464
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: of as long as you're in it every day, and uh,

465
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: that's that's something that hey, if you know the constant

466
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: prep that we do every day in being involved in stories,

467
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: when something comes up, that's, okay, here's the latest thing

468
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: involving Russell Wilson. We know all that, I know all

469
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: the background to it. It's something that I gotta learn new,

470
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 1: like sometimes you have to do for TV because hey,

471
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: here's this and we're gonna do this story tomorrow. Okay,

472
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: so now I have to kind of, you know, brush

473
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: up on it if it's something that I'm not quite

474
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: familiar with. But the stuff for radio is like, okay,

475
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: already have the background for it, I know, and now

476
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: I can look forward to, hey, what can I do

477
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: that's a little bit different or that people haven't heard yet,

478
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: And and that makes it a little bit easier because

479
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: that comfort level of just getting insane. I'm sure to

480
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: get to talk because the one thing I like to

481
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: do and I'm pretty good at of talking, so you know,

482
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: it's it's it's very very comfortable to do that. And

483
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: then you get to the point where with TV it's like, okay,

484
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: ninety seconds and this, I got it. Then you're like,

485
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: oh man, but I want to say this, this, and this.

486
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I only have ninety seconds. I don't know that I

487
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: can do can I stay all for you that I

488
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: gotta leave one of those things out. I don't want

489
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: to leave one of those things out. So you know,

490
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: it kind of comes back around to that that you know,

491
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: wherever you're more comfortable and wherever you've you've done longer

492
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: and you feel like you're more comfortable prepping and getting in,

493
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna wind up being the easiest thing. Yeah, because

494
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: you've had this knacks, you were your your form and

495
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: new style is unique in the sense that you can

496
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: integrate a lot of pop culture. Was that was that organic?

497
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: Where is that something you felt like through the course

498
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: of your career. I need to include this when I

499
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: talk sports just because it's more relatable and it separates

500
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: me from the rest of the guys that are strictly

501
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: all about sports every single second of every single segment. Now,

502
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: that's just kind of who I am. I've always been

503
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: a big pop culture. I always been big TV, movies, music,

504
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, So it's just it's just part of who

505
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: I am, you know. Um, In fact, when I go out,

506
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: like if I go to party, you know, we could

507
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: go to parties. Hopefully we go to parties again. You know,

508
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: I'll go to parties and the conversations I want to

509
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, have with people are, oh, are you watching

510
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: you know, Raised by Wolves? You know, are you watching

511
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: the boys all? And I'd rather talk about that. And

512
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: then when when people come up and say, hey, man,

513
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: so what do you think of the Lakes? Is gonna

514
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: make them make a trade and they're gonna go get

515
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin, the big gonna and I'll talk about that.

516
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: It's fine, But it's like, you know, I do that

517
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: all all the time during the week, you know, so

518
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: when I get to stretch my legs, it outside something else.

519
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I really like to talk about.

520
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: You know. I would love to be able, But one

521
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: thing I really would love to do in my careers

522
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: able a blog about TV and movies. You know, That's

523
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: one thing I'd love to do at some point. So

524
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of just always been who I am, and

525
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, that's kind of what I've always wanted

526
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: to do and say, Okay, this is who I am,

527
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: and let me bring that to the show and let

528
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: me tell you about my life a bit through what's

529
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: going on in the world of sports, it's kind of

530
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: always the way I've been. Is there something else that

531
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: you're working towards them in terms of a a second career,

532
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: if you will, besides the radio platform and what you're

533
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: doing a fox that you're you're looking at. Um, Well,

534
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: I actually, uh, I wrote a book few years ago.

535
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: I got published, um and it did as normal first

536
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: books and they didn't do very well, but that happens.

537
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: I remember when I when I got to publish, my

538
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: publisher said to me, now, listen, you're not gonna make

539
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: any money on this. I'm like, oh, okay, great, thanks

540
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: for thanks for bursting my balloon there right right. I'm

541
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: not gonna make anyoney. So you're not just don't make

542
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: money on your first book. I'm like, okay, that's fine.

543
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: You know, you get it published and you can write

544
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: another one. Like all right, great. So I wrote my

545
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: first book, which is great, which I love doing. I

546
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: love writing. And I wrote my second book. It's a novel,

547
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: and right now it's with uh my agents, and hopefully

548
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: something can happen there. We'll see. Um. If not, I'll

549
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: try to do things like you know, entering it in

550
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: contest that that happened online, you know, a couple of

551
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: times a year and everything. So that's kind of what

552
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: I like to do. I'm not saying I want to

553
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: go do something else, but like if I could, you know,

554
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: because I done, you know, I've done, I've done TV.

555
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to do TV, you know again, you know

556
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: I did TV up until just a couple of years ago.

557
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: Then I started writing. So it's kind of like whatever

558
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm into at the moment, like outside of doing radio

559
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: and right now it's been more writing that has been

560
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: anything else. Yeah, And the thing too about TV, I

561
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: only need TV for like a year at NBC. But

562
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: the thing that's so much different than radio is like

563
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: there's so many different producers and saying radio you got

564
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: a producer, but it's not. Every segment is you know,

565
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: formulated and by the by the second, it's it's a

566
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: much there's so many different moving parts to television than

567
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 1: than radio. It's a it's a big different. As far

568
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: as the book thing though, Jason, now, are you a

569
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: non fiction or a fiction guy? I'm a big fiction guy,

570
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: not nonfiction. It's really got to be a great book

571
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: for me to read. Nonfiction. I'm just not that's just

572
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: not what I normally read okay, all right, yeah, I

573
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: got you. And now, so you didn't make money on

574
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: the on the first book? How many books does want

575
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: to have to sell the actually make money? Like, what

576
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: how's the business work selling books? Like? Is there is

577
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: there a threshold that if you sell a certain number

578
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: you can make X amount of dollars? How's how's the

579
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: business work? Well, supposedly is that if you sell five

580
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: thousand books, that's a big that's a big deal, right,

581
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: Like five thousands a big deal and like anything more

582
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: than that, like I'll get you on a best seller list.

583
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, really go yeah, but five thousand books

584
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: is tough because there's so many different publishers and there's

585
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: so many ways to get books out, and you know,

586
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 1: are are you counting people buying it on the kindle?

587
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: You got to count people, you know, buying it in

588
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: the store, you know, having enough enough hard copies of it.

589
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: So you think about it, said, okay, you know five thousands,

590
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: And I've heard stories that that's what people do sometimes

591
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: that have the money to say, well, I'll just buy

592
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: these five thousand books myself, and uh, you know, then

593
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: suddenly it's a hit and that will allow me to

594
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: be an author that whoa an author you know that

595
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: sold a lot of books and and maybe you've been

596
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: starting the second one now you know, I don't have

597
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: enough money to buy five. I'm to go through the

598
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: internet and do it. So what they told me was that,

599
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you write your first book and

600
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: and that's the way they're gonna get it published. And

601
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: then you start to make contacts and people know that, oh,

602
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: you've written a book before, Okay, I'll read your next one.

603
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what it is. It's kind of

604
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: like getting your foot in the door that if you've

605
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: written a book and it's been published, you can get

606
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: your next one read by people. So it's kind of

607
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: like a big you know, steps there. So that's kind

608
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: of where I am right now with my second book, um,

609
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: which is actually it's a political thriller, uh and um.

610
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: So I finished it about, I want to say, about

611
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, and you know, trying

612
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: to get it out, trying to get it to people,

613
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's kind of a thing. It's really difficult.

614
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: And so I've been lucky enough to get it through

615
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: my agency to get to them to their um written representation,

616
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: so I'm waiting to hear back UM. So I got

617
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: my fingers crossed on that. But that's kind of that's

618
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of how it goes is that you write the

619
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: first one. That's what mean you're gonna get to write

620
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: a second one. It means you get people and more

621
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: people to read your second one, which means you don't

622
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: can yourself up to more publishers, more agents, more and

623
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: more people who are willing to look at things, and

624
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: maybe this works and you know, you just need one

625
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: personal love with your concept and you can you know,

626
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: and it can wind up getting published. But the key

627
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: is finding that right person. Yeah, and I was talking

628
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: to somebody and I actually been talking to this person

629
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: for a while about writing a book. And the lead

630
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: time with the big publishing companies, it's insane the lead

631
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: time they need on these on these books. But I

632
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: love that that story that you told because it's like

633
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: the It's what goes on on on Instagram or Twitter

634
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: where people buy bots, they buy fake followers so they

635
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 1: have more cloud, or in the case of books, you

636
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: buy all the books. That way you get more cloud,

637
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: and then you can you can get the easier time

638
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: with the second book. It's an interesting, interesting deal. Now

639
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: we only have a limited amount of time left, Jason,

640
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: but I cannot talk to you without bringing up the

641
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: Mets and the Jets. And uh now, uh we used

642
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: to bust each other's balls. You would goofund me about

643
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and I would goofn you about the Mets

644
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: or the Jets, and you goofund me about the Clippers.

645
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: But Robert Salah, Uh Now, he's inevitably gonna fail as

646
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: coach of the Jets. I think all Jets coaches fail.

647
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: So are you going to replace him some point? Jason?

648
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you Willie? Or should they bring back

649
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: sexy rexy Rex Ryan to coach the Jets one more time? No, listen,

650
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: I am gonna do like I've done my whole life.

651
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: I am completely behind this head coach until I'm not

652
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: until I say, you know what, that's great, But moving on,

653
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. You know. It's like, uh, it's

654
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: like if if you had a paid guest on your

655
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: show Beget it was a player on your team to

656
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: savor team. Like let's say you had Cody Bellinger on

657
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: your show every week, right, it was great. Cody Bellinger

658
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: was fun. He would talk, he would be awesome, great,

659
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: day great, And then Cody Bellinger gets traded. You would say, Okay,

660
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: hey is gonna come on the show? Who am I getting? Nice?

661
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: And Mack Mussey, who's it gonna be? Hey? I love you,

662
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: but now you're gone. Right, That's how I feel about Robertson.

663
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: I will love and love and love and see's great,

664
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: but it's not. I'll be the first guy to say

665
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: I am turning the page. I mean, I've turned the

666
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: page on Sam. I'd love Sam Donald, turned the page

667
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: on Sam Donald. Couldn't wait to turn the page on

668
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. That's kind of how it's been because the

669
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: Jets has been that for a following door all the

670
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: way around, year after year after year. So it's kind

671
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: of to be expected it now. But it's okay because

672
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Russell Wilson and both those it's gonna

673
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: be great. Its completely reasonable, yes, And then after that

674
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: they can they can bring back how Old's Ken O'Brien.

675
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: They can bring him back and he can play quarterback

676
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: after that, like you can be maybe he'll be the

677
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: third string quarterback. And then and then you got the

678
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: mess now, Jason, you know the Dodgers rule the roost

679
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: in the nationally. Jason, I know you're all excited because

680
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: of Francisco Indoor and all that. You're all gag off

681
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: for Lindoor, but you can finish it runner up if

682
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: you want. But the Padres are pretty good too, So

683
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: good luck for the Mets. And you finally got an

684
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: owner that's willing to spend money. Jason, with the Mets,

685
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: this guy's got this hunch, fun guy, and then he

686
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: gets screwed over with the game stop stuff. So you

687
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: can't win as a Mets fan. Jason, I know the

688
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Mets can't have nice things, like we had nice things

689
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: for a good ninety days, man, and everything was great.

690
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: And here Steve Coney's the richest owner in baseball. He's

691
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: got money a shoebox in his office that he can

692
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: pay out to God, Oh it was great. He's on Twitter,

693
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: he's with the fan and say we're going to spend

694
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: we make the door trade things. A great Dennistary Porter

695
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: story breaks that we miss out on George Speener and

696
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: then we miss out on Trevor Bauer, who just used

697
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: the Mets for leverage. The entire time. He was never

698
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna go to the Mets. He was just using them

699
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: as leverage what he could out of the Dodgers and

700
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: dal Steve Cohen and the game stops thing. And I go, oh, man,

701
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: you know we did. We had ninety days of the

702
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: fast Lane, man, and things are great. But I will

703
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: say this now, buddy, and I'll say this to you, Yeah,

704
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: I will see you in the NLCS. We will settle

705
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: this in October in the NLCS, all right, and we

706
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: will make a gigantic wager on that if the Dodgers

707
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: and Mets were to play in the NLCS, guaranteed, because

708
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: the Boys in Blue are not gonna lose to the Metropolitans.

709
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen, Jason. It's the era of Dodger baseball.

710
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: They are the Atlanta Braves of the nice. But unlike

711
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: the Braves, they're gonna win multiple World Series. Well, they

712
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: should have already won in seen because they were that

713
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: was the astros cheated. We don't need to get into that. Hey, Jess,

714
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: I gotta go, but thank you many. You're the greatest.
