Transcript
- 1:01I got crazy. You got crazy.
- 1:05That's that. That was an old, I think that's
- 1:08when Skyler turned 21 and she wanted to go to Disneyland.
- 1:11That was the same year we did the Disneyland half marathon
- 1:14when it's like heat advisory at 5:00 AM and shit you not, I
- 1:19remember people were people were passing out as they were
- 1:23running. Now, FedEx just pulled up to my
- 1:26house. Now here's the fun thing.
- 1:27You probably can't tell. That's water.
- 1:32That's water in my yard because I irrigated.
- 1:34So we're going to see if the FedEx guy decides.
- 1:37To trudge through the water. Splash his way along in the
- 1:39steps. I like to hear church chirping.
- 1:46It reminds me that spring's coming.
- 1:48It's still frozen out there, you know.
- 1:51Right. Or is he going to back up and
- 1:52and go along the way? So this is fun.
- 1:54So it's irrigation day, right? And then said Jim, this guy that
- 1:57heads the irrigation district. So he I go pull my ditch out
- 2:01when it's time. So I didn't go work out the day
- 2:02or anything because it it started at 7:45.
- 2:06So I go pull the ditch stop out a little after 9.
- 2:11Must have been the neighbors FedEx guy and Jim's walking down
- 2:15and what's up Jim Remember the crazy cat Lee lives across the
- 2:18street that called the cops on me for skinning, killing and
- 2:20burying cast in my backyard. Yeah, that fuck.
- 2:23So she has nothing better to do but you know, be a nosy neighbor
- 2:27and all that kind of shit. So she has been down to end of
- 2:29the street taking care of this really cool guy's yard, which is
- 2:33nice of her. I'll give her that she's nice
- 2:35side to her somewhere, but she jumps on Jim because she says
- 2:41Jim, the irrigation guy, the Jim, the house at the end of the
- 2:44corner, his yard gets flooded out.
- 2:47Well, no, it doesn't. It doesn't get flooded out.
- 2:49They have ports. Unless you open the port, water
- 2:52doesn't come into your yard right now.
- 2:55He, he did tell me in his rant, which is kind of fun, that they
- 2:59leak my leak. Like I'll open them up and water
- 3:01comes in the one that's not open yet.
- 3:03So be it. It's not like it's flooding my
- 3:04yard. It comes up to my ditch inside
- 3:06my yard about, you know, a foot or two and it is what it is.
- 3:10She's over there yelling at him because not her house, the other
- 3:15guy's house, there's a little patch that gets wet and her
- 3:17tractor gets stuck in the mud. Well, here's that, Here's a,
- 3:20here's a hint. Don't drive the tractor in the
- 3:22mud, you stupid individual. Like that's just common sense to
- 3:26me. Don't drive a tractor where
- 3:29there's mud. I don't.
- 3:31And I'm trying to be kind about it.
- 3:33But really, Linda, really you're going to yell at Jim because the
- 3:38port leaks inside the port and she acts like his his yard got
- 3:43flooded out. It's just, it's mind boggling to
- 3:44me. Just just just mind boggling.
- 3:47Another thing that irritated me today.
- 3:49So the, the neighborhood page I'm on, the person who runs it,
- 3:52she trusts me to look up the names of people who want to join
- 3:55our page, right. So if you chimed in and wanted
- 3:57to join the page, you got to put your address down, you got to
- 4:00claim who your neighbor is and how long have you lived here?
- 4:04So it's. Specific to your neighborhood.
- 4:06Right because we don't want spammers we don't want people
- 4:09coming in and and right So so this house gets listed for 1.3
- 4:14million and for the love of God I have no idea where they got
- 4:17the comps because it's a 2500 square foot house 3 bed 3 bath
- 4:20and one down the street from me just closed two months ago for
- 4:23865 and that's a 5 three with the pool.
- 4:27This is a 3/3 with the pool. They both have the same size lot
- 4:29so where they're getting 1.3 I have no idea.
- 4:31I hope they get it, but they won't because it'll never
- 4:33appraise. But if it does, it helps my
- 4:35house and other houses that are similar to it.
- 4:38But that agent tries to come on our page and put in a request to
- 4:43join the page. So so the person who runs the
- 4:45page messages me. He's like, can you check this
- 4:47person? Absolutely.
- 4:48I recognize the name because I know it's a realtor because I'm
- 4:52very keen to. This neighborhood doesn't live
- 4:55in the neighborhood. She references another realtor
- 4:57who just moved in because I closed that house.
- 5:00I sold it and I know the neighbors on both side of that
- 5:04house because why? I live in the neighborhood.
- 5:08Correct. This realtor claims that that
- 5:11agent who bought that house is her neighbor, which it's not.
- 5:16The house that she has listed is, I don't know, 10 houses
- 5:20east. Mind blowing, absolutely mind
- 5:25blowing. What people try to go away with.
- 5:27Like there's no checks and balances in the world.
- 5:29Well, there's just, they just come on man.
- 5:31Just just be a grown up and and don't lie your way into
- 5:34something that you have no reason to be involved in except
- 5:38to try to market your listing and spam the hell out of the
- 5:41group page. I just don't get it.
- 5:45I understand why. People take the short way, you
- 5:48know? Yeah, yeah.
- 5:50And that same realtor I had, I had, I had sent them a message
- 5:53asking them, you know, where'd you get your 1.3 million?
- 5:56Because I'd love to know. I'd love to know the comps that
- 5:59you used for that. Oh no of.
- 6:00Course not. Of course, of course not.
- 6:03But that's how most people are. They ghost you after you call
- 6:06them on their bullshit. Well, I didn't call around on a
- 6:09bullshit. I just told the person who runs
- 6:10the page. Yeah, that's not the neighbor,
- 6:12so they won't let him in. So she doesn't know that I'm
- 6:14involved to that level. Now, people in the neighborhood
- 6:16know I'm involved at that level because I'm active in the
- 6:18neighborhood. I, I, you know, give insight and
- 6:22alerts to real estate updates and things like that on, you
- 6:24know, every three weeks or so. So they know who I am.
- 6:27So they know that I've sold more houses in this neighborhood than
- 6:32the any other realtor that comes in.
- 6:34So much so I have some Realtors that will text me saying hey I
- 6:36have a listing coming up in your neighborhood.
- 6:38Can you give me some insight? My response is always wait a
- 6:41minute, what neighbor is not choosing me to list their house?
- 6:44Right, I live right here. Right.
- 6:47And then they'll respond back last 10, that's the greatest
- 6:50answer ever. I said, yeah, that's the only
- 6:52answer you're getting. So I think it may be, I think
- 6:56that may be the one that has the 1.3 million.
- 6:59So she's not going to respond to me, but you know, so be it when
- 7:03they play the price drop game and it's just, you know, sit
- 7:05back like, yeah, eat some popcorn, watch the chaos.
- 7:09People don't get it, man. Hey, by the way, this is the
- 7:11Chris and Mike show. He's he's Mike.
- 7:13I'm Chris. And portion of the show is
- 7:14brought to you by Riverside FM, the one and only choice for your
- 7:17podcasting platforms. Podcasting platforms say that 10
- 7:21times. Pod No.
- 7:24And we're live on the twitch, the YouTube and Chris and
- 7:26mikeshow.com. That's Chris and mikeshow.com.
- 7:28We were supposed to have this really cool guy on the day and
- 7:30events. He just scaled them out and not
- 7:33Mount Everest. And we were excited to talk to
- 7:35him, but I don't know what happened.
- 7:37Hopefully he didn't fall off another mountain.
- 7:39He didn't fall off that mountain.
- 7:40But that would be hopefully he. Yeah, hopefully he didn't go
- 7:42trekking and then fall off another mountain.
- 7:44And then that's the reason because we've talked to him
- 7:45before. Super cool guy.
- 7:47Yeah. We hope you're a lot of cool.
- 7:49Yeah. He does a lot of cool things.
- 7:50He helps you build your business and then market it to sale.
- 7:54So yeah, super nice guy. Kind of like Dennis, he knows a
- 7:56lot about AI as well. We talked a little bit about AI.
- 8:00Yeah, absolutely. So did you watch the this is
- 8:06this is this is this is a Friday episode recording?
- 8:10So last night they had the NFL Honors on the ESPN.
- 8:13Did you happen to watch that? I did not.
- 8:15It's called. Fast.
- 8:16I didn't either. I didn't either because you
- 8:17know, it's it's the NFL is purely for entertainment.
- 8:20Now that we've talked about it, I want to back up though.
- 8:22Joe Flacco made a statement basically saying that that Joe
- 8:26Flacco, you know, Joe Flacco is right, the journeyman
- 8:28quarterback, basically he's saying, you know, we signed up
- 8:32to this lead to get hit. We get slapped in the head.
- 8:35We get tackled to the ground. And when you slap a
- 8:40quarterback's head or when you tackle quarterback's ground,
- 8:42that should not be passing or that should not be roughing the
- 8:44passer. Because we all signed up for
- 8:47what it was. We all signed.
- 8:50We all knew what we signed up for.
- 8:53Like we all knew we were going to get lit up.
- 8:54We all know we're going to get hit.
- 8:56We all know we can break an arm or leg, a bone, an ankle, a
- 8:58wrist. We all know they're signing up.
- 9:01We all know this going into football.
- 9:04I thought that was great. Way to go.
- 9:06Way to go, Joe Flacco. All true statements for sure.
- 9:10All true statements. So those of you that that that
- 9:12are just mamby pamby and whiny little bitches about when
- 9:16Patrick Mahom gets his little head slapped, go watch flag
- 9:20football, IE the Pro Bowl. What a joke, that.
- 9:23I did catch about 20 seconds of that and when I saw what they
- 9:27were doing I was like no, not interested.
- 9:30Why even have it if that's what you're?
- 9:31Going to do right? Just cancel the thing.
- 9:32Just. Just that was my first question,
- 9:34why would you even do this? Yeah, just call it just.
- 9:38Know how little people care about it?
- 9:39Because they put it on Tuesday night, right?
- 9:42Right, right. Just just just kill the thing.
- 9:44Just kill it all. It the Pro Bowl when we were
- 9:47growing up, when Steele was growing up, when, you know, was
- 9:51a sign of I've been chosen by the fans, right?
- 9:55And and a lot of those football players would use that fifty, I
- 9:59think it was 75,000 winners, 25,000 losers.
- 10:04And they would use that 75 grand as a bonus.
- 10:07They would build swimming pools. They would, you know, go on
- 10:09elaborate vacations with their family.
- 10:12It was it was something to strive for and you played the
- 10:15game because you wanted to win the money.
- 10:18Right. And, and, and that's just, it's
- 10:21just a frigging joke. Man, here's what they need to
- 10:24do. They need to take.
- 10:26I just thought of this as I was thinking about how stupid that
- 10:30idea was, right? And why even do it?
- 10:32So, yeah, I was thinking, OK, you're so smart.
- 10:35What would you do in place of it?
- 10:37I would take the two worst teams in the NFL record wise, and I
- 10:42would make them play each other for the first round draft pick.
- 10:47That's brilliant. Then it means something, right?
- 10:50Then the fans are going to watch.
- 10:51Then it's a money making game for the NFL.
- 10:53It's a money making game for the advertisers.
- 10:55That's people are going to watch, right?
- 10:58The two worst team. Teams have to play each other
- 11:01for one last game. And I don't care if you cut
- 11:04those two teams last game one game short, short the same.
- 11:10Well, no, but but no, because you still play it.
- 11:12But Pro Bowl is another game you're playing played true.
- 11:15So I there you go. So I think you go I I like the
- 11:17idea. I think you go the whole regular
- 11:18season the way you normally do. And then like you just said, the
- 11:21two still. People for the Pro Bowl, we just
- 11:24don't play the game right because that's an honor to be
- 11:26chosen. You're the best in your class.
- 11:28I agree with what you said. That still should be an honor.
- 11:31I don't want to take away from that The guys who made the Pro
- 11:33Bowl this year, that's huge. But now we have a game that
- 11:38means something, and yes, we're playing for the right to have
- 11:41the 1st. Pick, That's awesome, that's a
- 11:43good idea. And then you give the ones that
- 11:45made the Pro Bowl like like a like, here's what you do.
- 11:48Also, you give the ones that made a Pro Bowl $10,000 each to
- 11:53the charity of their choice. Brilliant, because they're
- 11:57already making stupid money anyway.
- 11:59And the NFL, when the NFL gives money to charities, those are
- 12:03from NFL fines. If people don't know that, a lot
- 12:05of that comes from the NFL fines.
- 12:07So if you get fined like DK Metcalf got fined 2 games in the
- 12:10Steelers this year, so those two game checks were forfeited, that
- 12:14goes in the NFL charity fund and that gets dispersed accordingly.
- 12:19I did know that's how that's huge.
- 12:21At least it's how. Don't know that, yeah.
- 12:23At least it's how you know how it could have changed.
- 12:25Yeah, yeah. No, I think that's still how it
- 12:27is. Yeah, which is cool, you know,
- 12:29it's, you know, but yeah, I I think that would be a brilliant
- 12:32way to approach that. So the two worst teams in the
- 12:34NFL face off against each other for the top draft pick #1
- 12:37overhaul. There you go.
- 12:40And this so that means you also get the worst referees in the
- 12:43season, the ones that that blew more calls than anybody else
- 12:47because according to the NFL, they review that stuff, the NFL
- 12:50committee officiating committee. So you make them the referees
- 12:53for that game. Yeah, absolutely.
- 12:55Oh dude, now I love it. You get the worst.
- 12:58We need the worst for the worst. That would be the Colorado
- 13:01podcast. Yeah.
- 13:02Next week, tell him we got this figured out.
- 13:05I'm sure he's struggling. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he's
- 13:08working on concealing all the Epstein files.
- 13:11Giants co-owner Steve Tisch. The Washington Redskins owner's
- 13:14been tied to it, Russell Wilson. So I'll tell you the 20th.
- 13:18One real quick was Jon Stewart. I watched The Daily Show last
- 13:22night. Yeah, Jon Stewart was.
- 13:24He's like, you know, we've all put our name in there.
- 13:27I hadn't at that point yet, but right.
- 13:29He said, of course I was in there.
- 13:31He was referenced in some kind of some kind of skit they were
- 13:37going to do for some comedy show or something, and they said they
- 13:41could get somebody like Jon Stewart to narrate it.
- 13:44He was offended. He's like, do you want somebody
- 13:46like Jon Stewart or do you want Jon Stewart?
- 13:52I just thought that was funny. You were going.
- 13:54To say something. About Russell Wilson, no, I
- 13:55have, I have, I have. No, I know somebody that's in
- 13:57government that has access to to the file.
- 14:00I actually forwarded you the link to it.
- 14:03You did. They sent me the two page.
- 14:05Knows I have that. Thanks buddy.
- 14:07Right, You're welcome. You're welcome.
- 14:08They they sent me the two page e-mail that references Russell
- 14:12Wilson trying to buy 1 of Epstein's planes.
- 14:14But Russell Wilson is adamant that he didn't do that.
- 14:18Well, it's black and white now like it's, and I put it in my
- 14:23story on Facebook today, it's legit.
- 14:25It's 2 pages. It's referencing Russell Wilson
- 14:28wanted to buy this plane how he wants to buy the plane.
- 14:31He can't buy the plane till after he got signed by Seattle
- 14:33because it's going to mess up his his negotiation standards
- 14:35because he's buying this $6.2 million plane, but it's only
- 14:39wants to put 500,000 up front, make payments.
- 14:41All it is a very detailed conversation.
- 14:44So for Russell Wilson to sit there and pretend that was all
- 14:47bullshit, dude, you're, it's kind of like, it's kind of like,
- 14:52oh, what's his face? The disgraced bicyclist swearing
- 14:54up and down left and right he wasn't doping.
- 14:56I'm not doping. I'm not doping.
- 14:57I'm not doping for years and years.
- 14:59And yeah, I'm not doping for years and years and years.
- 15:01And then guess what? Yeah, I doped because everybody
- 15:04does it. Yeah, turns out you would have
- 15:06to go down to 18th place to get the first winner.
- 15:10That wasn't doping back then, right?
- 15:13Right. That's a true state.
- 15:14It's right. It's like steroids in baseball,
- 15:17right? It's like steroids in baseball.
- 15:18In the Mark McGuire and Sammy Asosa era.
- 15:21If they didn't allow steroids in baseball back then, baseball
- 15:24would have died. Baseball would have gone away.
- 15:27Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It would have fizzled.
- 15:29It was dead. It would have.
- 15:30It was done. It was attendance is where all
- 15:32time low. People were bored with it.
- 15:34It was just humdrum. What was me fucking stupid?
- 15:39But here's the thing, they make stupid rules that everybody has
- 15:43to abide by, right? Just let apparently the natural
- 15:49way wasn't working at that moment in time.
- 15:52They figured out a way to bring excitement back to the game, and
- 15:56then we're supposed to penalize them for doing what we asked
- 16:00them to do in the 1st place, right?
- 16:02People need to see the lunacy in their thought process as society
- 16:08tells them what to think, right? It's a lot to unpack there.
- 16:14But it's true. Something that took me a long
- 16:16time to figure out, right? Don't let the media and society
- 16:19lead you by the nose and say, oh, we hate baseball, blah,
- 16:23blah, blah, we hate baseball, Baseball sucks.
- 16:25And then all sudden they're hitting home runs and
- 16:27everybody's like, baseball's great, let's go to this game,
- 16:29right? Did you know that they were
- 16:31doing steroids at the oh, oh, baseball sucks.
- 16:34Oh the now we got to tarnish their record.
- 16:36You were at the game paying them money to watch them hit the home
- 16:40runs, right? Right now what I what I will
- 16:42argue with. Please.
- 16:45Is when everybody got caught, right?
- 16:51For the most part, right, but before right, But so when Sosa
- 16:59McGuire got caught and Rafael Pomero got caught, which was a
- 17:02joke. And I always thought, I've
- 17:04always thought that somebody on the damn backs was juicing
- 17:07because he was a very normal looking and the last couple
- 17:13years of his stint he was. And I'm, you know, I've, I've,
- 17:17I'm, you either have it or you don't.
- 17:19You either have the ability to bulk up like that or you don't.
- 17:21I'm not going to drop the name because I don't know if it's
- 17:24accurate or not, but I think you know who I'm talking about.
- 17:26I do. You can tell me afterwards, I
- 17:29think I do. But once everybody got caught,
- 17:32that's your, that's your clue to stop.
- 17:36Barry Bonds can say all he wants because he's still he's still
- 17:40adamant that he never touched steroids.
- 17:42Dude, you look like Mike when you got into the majors and then
- 17:47within would you, you know, skinny little white guy and then
- 17:52and. I'll let him.
- 17:53I'm going to go cry in the corner for a second.
- 17:56And then and then ten years later, you got 100 more pounds
- 18:00on your body of all muscle. I know what you're saying 100%.
- 18:04It's just and if you look at the the rookie year to his when he
- 18:07retired, you cannot tell me, you cannot tell anybody.
- 18:11He didn't juice for longer than he should have.
- 18:15Because again, once it comes out that McGuire and Sosa are using,
- 18:18if you're using, that's your close stop.
- 18:21Barry Bonds's legacy in baseball will be a forever tarnished.
- 18:24So will Mcguire's and so will Sosa's because they didn't stop
- 18:29when it was evident. Time to stop.
- 18:31Read the Room. But there's also an argument
- 18:35from the other side that would say that steroids is a lot like
- 18:40marijuana. It's been demonized so much that
- 18:45the benefits of steroids are a recovery.
- 18:47That's why they give them to you.
- 18:49When you get so sick that you're not going to come out the other
- 18:52side, right? It helps your body recover.
- 18:55Sure. So that bulk that people are
- 18:58talking about, really what it's doing is as that person is
- 19:01overexerting themselves as they're taking steroids, it's
- 19:05helping their muscles recover faster.
- 19:07Yeah, like at an incredible rate.
- 19:10So if you're doing them the right way, you're working out,
- 19:13you're recovering properly, it's actually beneficial.
- 19:17Sure. It's the people that do what you
- 19:20just described to where they're juicing to the gills and working
- 19:25out overtly to the point where nobody should is, you know,
- 19:29you're redlining, so to speak, Right.
- 19:31Right. Then you're hurting your body.
- 19:33Yeah. And that's like Mr. Olympian,
- 19:36you know? Yeah, the guys that get up there
- 19:38and they're just like Schwarzenegger, Correct?
- 19:41Schwarzenegger's first to admit it.
- 19:43In his competition, he did it. Yeah, for sure.
- 19:45Right, Right. They all did.
- 19:47Everyone of them back then did. Mm.
- 19:49Hmm. Mm hmm, look at the rock.
- 19:52Look at the rock. When he's doing an action
- 19:54adventure movie, he juices up. He goes through a cycle, sure.
- 19:57And then when he's not doing action, when he's doing some,
- 19:59you know, dramedy, he's a normal looking dude.
- 20:03He's still my point. He's.
- 20:04Human looking dude. Yeah you can do that safely
- 20:08without hurting. You know, steroids are not a
- 20:11demon unless. No, like any drug.
- 20:14If you drink coffee 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
- 20:18eventually something in your body is going to give up, right?
- 20:23Yeah, I'm not, I guess. But there's something that
- 20:26right. I guess I might use anything.
- 20:28It's kind of. Right.
- 20:30I guess my point is that if you're doing, if you're doing
- 20:34performance enhancing drugs in any sport and the figureheads of
- 20:38that sport get caught, that to me, read the room.
- 20:42I got to stop. I got to back this off.
- 20:43I got to slowly taper myself off of this so it's not so dramatic.
- 20:47I go from 2:40 to 180 in a month.
- 20:49I got just baby step the thing off.
- 20:52You know, he didn't. He continued doing, at least
- 20:58from from the perspective of a fan.
- 20:59He continued juicing the way he was juicing because he wanted
- 21:02that record and he had that drive to.
- 21:05Be #1 is right. You only have so many years to
- 21:08be in your prime, right? He wasn't willing to sacrifice.
- 21:12He knew he was going to go back to just being an average player,
- 21:15right? Potentially, right?
- 21:17We don't know because he never gave himself the chance.
- 21:20No. And he was already, he was
- 21:21already a great baseball player. He came from the Bobby, he came
- 21:23from a a good lineage of baseball players, of course.
- 21:27He had the potential to be who he was anyway.
- 21:29Right. It's not like he was a slacker,
- 21:31man. It's not.
- 21:32But I agree with you a million percent.
- 21:34We'll never know because in my opinion, my opinion is the same
- 21:37as yours. He never quit.
- 21:39Yeah, and he should have quit it, or at least, like I said,
- 21:42taper down a bit to where then you're just then when you're
- 21:46asked the question. Yes, I did it because everybody
- 21:49was doing it. And that was the thing at the
- 21:51time. Just like when Pete Rose played
- 21:52baseball, what was in their coffee speed?
- 21:55Like he flat out said, you drink it, you drink a pot of coffee in
- 21:58in in the in. The, oh, there's famous
- 22:00pictures, all those guys from the 80s, you and I have talked
- 22:02about it, where they got beer sitting behind them and they're
- 22:05smoking cigarettes and they got half their clothes on and off
- 22:10and you know, they haven't showered for three days.
- 22:12It's not the, but it's like you alluded to when we were talking
- 22:16about the Mannings. The original patriarch of the
- 22:19family didn't make shit for money because there was no
- 22:21players union back then for any of these leagues.
- 22:24These guys were just having fun for the glory of being a pro
- 22:28baseball player. Exactly.
- 22:30They were decently compensated, but they weren't living in 60
- 22:33room houses, you know? No, no, no, no.
- 22:38But there's something so nostalgic about that time.
- 22:42You know where you see those pictures where they were just
- 22:45they drinking on the way to the Yeah, and Pete Rose still, man,
- 22:50I just read a statistic where if you got four hits in every game
- 22:55and you played for 20 years, you still would be 400 hits behind
- 22:58him or something. Yes.
- 23:00And that's the worst he did was coffee and speed, man.
- 23:03Yeah. And that's it.
- 23:05And he and he gambled a little bit.
- 23:06Gives a fuck everybody. I gamble every day in my life.
- 23:09Dude, there's so many people gambling right now in sports
- 23:13that are sports athletes. I, I just, I, I just got to be.
- 23:16It's so insane that, you know, like the bullshit last night
- 23:20where Jackson Dart was not the offensive player of the year.
- 23:23I lost 2 fucking dollars Bullshit on that.
- 23:26Lost 2 fucking I I chose variable though.
- 23:29I picked variable to win coach of the year because I just
- 23:31figured if anybody deserves that, that's him from going from
- 23:344 and 13 to the Super Bowl. But I'm I'm a still believer too
- 23:37that they shouldn't have NFL honors till after the Super Bowl
- 23:41is over. They should have it a week after
- 23:43the season's over because. I agree with you there too.
- 23:45Right man? Because I think way more sense.
- 23:47Yeah, because because you know, the the MVP should be.
- 23:54Did you get your shame to the Super Bowl?
- 23:56You know, it's between those two guys, you know what I mean?
- 23:58And offensive player, rookies, all kind of things.
- 24:00Where do you, what do you do for the entire year, not just
- 24:02regular season? Because regular season nobody
- 24:06plays to lose and be out of the playoffs in regular season.
- 24:10If they do, I don't know why they're playing football, right?
- 24:13Or baseball. Or basketball for that matter,
- 24:17you know? Who did you pick?
- 24:21Did you already? I picked Jackson Dart for the
- 24:24Offensive Player of the Year. No.
- 24:26And I picked the Super Bowl. Oh, I think I picked the
- 24:30Patriots because I don't. I just don't.
- 24:32Yeah, I picked the Patriots because I think it'd be cool to
- 24:34have. I know Giants fans are screaming
- 24:36at me, but I think it'd be cool to have to have.
- 24:41We talked about it a couple weeks ago.
- 24:43A player who's won two then becomes the coach and the coach
- 24:47and he wins one of the coaches for the same team played right.
- 24:50I think that'd be cool. I think that'd be really cool.
- 24:52I want to I want to break down the list of people.
- 24:54So Breeze, OK, so, so, so the the Hall of Fame class Breeze,
- 25:01Drew Brees, Roger Craig, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Cookeley and
- 25:07Adam Vinatieri. Vinatieri and Breeze.
- 25:09I agree with Craig. I Roger Craig I agree with
- 25:12because why he's not in there already.
- 25:14But Fitzgerald and Cookeley. Cookeley did not play more than
- 25:17six years. Larry Fitzgerald cost the
- 25:20Cardinals a Super Bowl whether people want to believe that or
- 25:22not. I mean Drew Brees record setting
- 25:27quarterback in the regular season but he only won one Super
- 25:30Bowl and he he gets in the first year of eligibility.
- 25:34Yet Eli who beat the GOAT twice still sits on the sidelines.
- 25:37I call bullshit on that. Eli played the game to play the
- 25:39game to win the championship. Eli didn't play the game for
- 25:42stats. You know, Rodger Craig, dual
- 25:48threat running back, NFL player, you know, first, the first NFL
- 25:51player to gain 1000 yards rushing and receiving in the
- 25:53same season. By all means, three time Super
- 25:55Bowl champion Niners. Why he's just now getting there
- 25:58beyond me. He should have been there a long
- 25:59time ago. Fitzgerald's the the NFL's
- 26:02second all time leading receiver.
- 26:04OK, Second, if you ain't first, you're last.
- 26:08So does that really warrant a first time?
- 26:12You know, I don't think that was.
- 26:14I don't think that is if he doesn't, if he slides.
- 26:17It depends on it depends on who he was up against, and he was up
- 26:21against people who should have been there before him.
- 26:23That's the point. Correct.
- 26:26Luke Kukley, attacking machine at inside linebacker, who is 34
- 26:31year old at the time of his selection and eight years he
- 26:33played eight years, eight years, and that means he's a Hall of
- 26:36Famer. I don't.
- 26:37I don't think so, Adamantori. By all means.
- 26:40The Patriots don't have at least three Super Bowls if he doesn't
- 26:43kick them into the Super. Bowl well, and he was there for
- 26:46a lot of those games, right? That's what I'm saying.
- 26:48He absolutely deserves to be. He's a multi time Super Bowl
- 26:51champion. Yeah, Adamantori by far, by far
- 26:57is, is a, is a Hall of Famer, just just his foot alone.
- 27:00I mean, if not the human, just his foot.
- 27:02If he was dead, you'd just take his foot out of the grave and
- 27:04and stick it in a in a in a podium.
- 27:07I don't agree with Lady Fish Joe.
- 27:08I think Lady Fish Joe's a Hall of Famer, but I don't think he's
- 27:11first round. I don't think Luke Kukla's the
- 27:12first round. Agreed.
- 27:13Why? Why took right took Rodger Craig
- 27:15so long? No idea because that's bullshit.
- 27:17He he was a hell of a running back in a time where running
- 27:21backs punished you for tackling them.
- 27:23Well, that just reinforces your point for the other two not
- 27:26being this time, You know, your first time, if you haven't won a
- 27:32Super Bowl, you definitely shouldn't get in when a guy like
- 27:35Roger Craig had to wait so long. And he has three.
- 27:39That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
- 27:41And those two got in as a first time ballot against an Eli
- 27:45Manning who beat somebody who we Revere as the greatest
- 27:50quarterback ever. Arguable.
- 27:52But most people agree with that. He beat him twice.
- 27:56Twice. And I'm not saying that not
- 27:58warrant right, being a Hall of Fame quarterback.
- 28:02Right. And I'm, I'm part of this
- 28:03because I'm a Giants fan. But, but wholeheartedly no.
- 28:06That's why I stayed that that way.
- 28:08Yeah, right. Yeah.
- 28:09It he, he didn't just win 2 Super Bowls, which is enough
- 28:12unto itself. Doesn't matter who he beat.
- 28:15No but but he won two fact that he was 2.
- 28:19Against the greatest quarterback arguably of all time, that says
- 28:22something. Andy was the MVP, Andy was the
- 28:25MVP of this said. Super Bowl, you know how I like.
- 28:27To I just I just. You know how I like to use music
- 28:30analogies? That would be like somebody
- 28:31going up there that nobody knew and doing a duel with Eddie Van
- 28:35Halen or Jimmy Page, and all the sudden those guys go, wow, that
- 28:39guy's better than Jimmy Page, or he's better than Eddie Van
- 28:42Halen. And Eddie Van Halen going, yeah,
- 28:43he is better than me. Right.
- 28:46Yeah, because in those two instances, Tom Brady has to say
- 28:50Eli Manning was better than me, at least that day.
- 28:53Yeah, Now Granite. Granite, a quarterback doesn't
- 28:56win the game by himself, but still, you're the general there.
- 28:59But there were two throws on both of those games that were
- 29:04once in a lifetime throws that were catches, the the Tyree
- 29:06helmet catch and the Hakeem Knicks.
- 29:09That thing. If you look at that up in the in
- 29:11the Google machine or YouTube, the Hakim Nicks Super Bowl, the
- 29:14second Super Bowl, like how he got his toes down and how Eli
- 29:17got that ball, where he got that ball under pressure is insane.
- 29:21That is the and and people will tell you that's one of the the
- 29:24best throws ever. The Hakim Nicks ones probably a
- 29:26little bit better than Tyree because Tyree that's just good
- 29:29karma. That's just good living, right?
- 29:31Like for sure. It's just that's, that's,
- 29:34that's, that's one of those. If you threw.
- 29:37Changing things. If he went to make that play 100
- 29:40times, he's only going to make it 9.
- 29:42He's only going to make it 1.2% of the time, you know?
- 29:46Yeah, yeah, the probability of that is nuts.
- 29:49But he still caught it, he's still threw it.
- 29:52So it still warrants the victory.
- 29:53It still warrants the MVP, still warns Super Championship.
- 29:57So yeah, I just. There's that stupid shit, man.
- 30:03Well, you just wonder what's going through the minds of the
- 30:06people that make the decision. You know, if I was sitting in
- 30:08there, I was put myself in that room.
- 30:10You know, how did everybody decide that this is where we're
- 30:14at? How right.
- 30:15How was one person not making the argument that you and I are
- 30:18making right now? Yeah.
- 30:20But I guess if it's because, you know, if it's a Democratic
- 30:23council or whatever, maybe that person got outvoted.
- 30:26Well, it's silent votes and it's, I, I don't know if this is
- 30:30accurate, but I believe everybody who's alive in the
- 30:32Hall of Fame, they're the ones that votes.
- 30:34And then you have certain sports writers that do as well.
- 30:37Well then. Everybody wants popularity.
- 30:39Contest, then? Yeah, maybe.
- 30:42And which would explain why Belichick's not in Because
- 30:44Belichick. Now, what you just described, if
- 30:47that's accurate, then it's a semi popularity contest because
- 30:50of there's five people. Well, let's say there's three
- 30:54people on a committee and you and I are two of them.
- 30:56Guess which way most of the votes are going to go.
- 31:00You know, the third person, even though he's a silent vote, you
- 31:04and I agree on a lot of things, so we're probably going to get
- 31:06our way a lot. OK, so the committee consists.
- 31:14This is the the Hall of Fame selection process.
- 31:16The committee consists of 1 media represented from each
- 31:19football city, with two from Los Angeles and New York in as much
- 31:24as those cities have two teams in the National Football League.
- 31:27A 33rd member is representative by the Pro Football Writers of
- 31:30America and they're up to 17 at large delegates with the
- 31:35exception of the Pro Football PFWA whatever representative who
- 31:41is appointed A2 year term Pro Football Hall of Fame board.
- 31:46OK, they meet shortly before the Super Bowl to elect new members.
- 31:53Obviously that's that's changed now they meet well before the
- 31:56Super Bowl, but it lists the name of of the is this how
- 32:01accurate is this? It lists the name of The Who
- 32:07they are. Like in Arizona, it's Kent
- 32:08Summers, retired Arizona Republic person.
- 32:13Let's see, Chicago is Dan Pompey of The Athletic.
- 32:20Well, you just proved my you just proved my statement.
- 32:23It's a semi popularity contest because of Dan is a Drew Brees
- 32:27fan and not an Eli Manning fan, right?
- 32:30He's going to lean towards, he has a silent vote.
- 32:32He's going to lean towards Drew Brees, right?
- 32:35He doesn't have to have a reason for voting for him.
- 32:37No. But yeah, they need to.
- 32:42They need to. I think they need to make it
- 32:43make it. How do you make it better?
- 32:47I think you may. I think you do it.
- 32:48I think you do it with with those that are in the Hall of
- 32:51Fame. They're the ones that are in in
- 32:53in the grind, right? They're the ones that that are
- 32:56in there fighting for the extra yard, the extra mile.
- 33:00They're the ones that blood sweat and tears, breaking bones,
- 33:02pulling Achilles tendons, you know, all that kind of crap,
- 33:07right. So like this was this is the
- 33:09last few years of of nominations like 2025, Eric Allen, Jared
- 33:16Allen, Antonio Gates, Sterling Sharp made it.
- 33:18OK, so there you go, looking at that list.
- 33:21I'm sorry to interrupt you, but now you could do you could do
- 33:24the same thing. They wouldn't even have to
- 33:26change anything, they would just change who's voting.
- 33:28So you could pick a member of each one of those classes going
- 33:33back as far as you want. Yep.
- 33:36And let that member of each class vote for the.
- 33:40Current Get the media out of it. Get the media out of it because
- 33:43the two 2025 people, they didn't make it.
- 33:45Luke Cookeley and Eli Manning didn't make it.
- 33:48But now you put Luke Cookeley in, makes no sense.
- 33:52Reggie Wayne didn't make it. Adam Vinataria was up for last
- 33:55year too. So Adam, Eli and Luke, we're all
- 33:58up again this year and the only they don't put Eli through.
- 34:01That's fucking bullshit. 24 you have Dwight Freeney, Randy
- 34:06Gradishar, Devin Hester, Andre Johnson, Steve McMichael, Julius
- 34:10Peppers and Patrick Willis. Antonio Gates should have been
- 34:15in there. Terry Holt.
- 34:16Tori Holt was on there, but not elected again.
- 34:18Reggie Wayne, fifth time not elected again, which is
- 34:21ridiculous. Darren Woodson not elected
- 34:23again. He belongs.
- 34:24In there for sure. Right, 2023 Don Corio 7th year
- 34:29of eligibility. Don Corio changed the face of
- 34:31offensive football. Terry Corio.
- 34:34He changed the way offense was played.
- 34:36It took him seven years, Seven years.
- 34:39You put you put Darryl Revis in the first time ballot Hall of
- 34:44Fame. Really, really, he was only good
- 34:47for he was good for two or three years.
- 34:49You just keep reinforcing my point.
- 34:51It's popularity contest. Yeah, Torry Holt, I mean just it
- 34:56in in 2022. For me as well as I do, and most
- 35:00people don't because, you know, we care more.
- 35:03It's the same thing with like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- 35:05It's a popularity contest. Right, right.
- 35:10It's just crazy. Stupid voting process.
- 35:13There should be the same process.
- 35:14There should be the bands voting for other bands.
- 35:17Yeah, look at all the people on the list for 2020.
- 35:20Man, that's insane. And look at all the first timers
- 35:25that made it. Harold Carmichael, Jim Culvert,
- 35:28Bill Cower, Bobby Dylan, Alex Karras, Winston Hill, Troy
- 35:32Palamalu, Steve Sable and Ed Sprinkle, all first timers got
- 35:40in and look at the ones that that deserve to get in that
- 35:43aren't in on that list. Mike Holmgren won, won a Super
- 35:46Bowl. Mike Holmgren was is a hell of a
- 35:48football coach. He should be in there.
- 35:51Drew Pierce, you kidding me? Drew Pierce is not in the Hall
- 35:53of Fame. The the great Cowboy receiver
- 35:56and I hate the fucking Cowboys took George Young four times to
- 36:01get in. That's crazy. 2019 champ Bailey,
- 36:05Pat Bowen, Pat Bowen for the the Broncos gets in as a as an
- 36:09owner. Ed Reed gets it.
- 36:13Ed Reed now Tony Gonzalez first year eligibility.
- 36:16Absolutely. Tony Gonzalez changed the way
- 36:17Titans played the game. I think Ed Reed had more of an
- 36:21impact than Darryl Rivas did because Ed Reed consistently
- 36:25played at a high level was Rivas had two or three really good
- 36:27years. Right, that's a, that's a fact
- 36:30for sure. Yeah.
- 36:31So 2018 Randy Moss by all means, the first time entry why Tara
- 36:36Owens took him three times I have no idea because Tara Owens
- 36:39say what you want about his his his mind, he he he should have
- 36:43been a first time entering and. Ray Lewis he was.
- 36:47Standing Ray Lewis, that's debatable because he he was
- 36:50charged with murder. So, you know, did he get away
- 36:53with it? Yes, he did.
- 36:54But you know, that's still questionable.
- 36:56I think you're off the field stuff needs to kind of carry
- 36:59some weight. I don't think Brett Favre was a
- 37:02first timer, right? I don't think Brett Favre was a
- 37:05first timer. I don't I he won one Super Bowl
- 37:09and he was he he didn't play for stats.
- 37:11He played to win like Eli. But everybody loves Brett Farber
- 37:14Farber, unless you watch that document on him.
- 37:16Whoa, is that dude an asshole? Well, didn't he rob some
- 37:19charity? He did.
- 37:21Charity. Yeah.
- 37:22Yeah, his own. Charity if I remember right.
- 37:24Yeah, yeah. It's not good.
- 37:26Again, you're off field. If you're doing something that
- 37:28bad, it's going to carry a little weight.
- 37:30Yep, Yep. So if Kurt Warner takes three
- 37:33times to get in, then Eli Manning should get in next year.
- 37:37Because one or one one Super Bowl 1 Eli went to.
- 37:43Well, once I figure out something's a popularity
- 37:45contest, it makes a lot more sense.
- 37:47It's this is all just bullshit. Yeah, it is.
- 37:51There's, you know, there's got to be a better way.
- 37:53I like your way these. Pick a representative from each
- 37:56one of these classes and let them vote.
- 37:59Yep, Yeah, it's amazing how many.
- 38:04I wonder who? I wonder who, who decides who's
- 38:08eligible? Because remember in 2020, look
- 38:10at that list, man, that's a massive list.
- 38:14This is all 2020 and look at it compared to 2019. 2019's class
- 38:22is 1/4 of that. So is 18.
- 38:24So is 17161514. So whatever, whatever class that
- 38:312021 was must have had a ridiculous draft that year.
- 38:35Some have that many superstars. Yeah, because it looks more like
- 38:39it's 15 per class that they that they nominate.
- 38:43If you're if you're going down like Joe Montana, absolutely.
- 38:45First round, first ballot Hall of Famer?
- 38:47Absolutely. Go back to 2019, OK?
- 38:52Just out of curiosity. Oh, you might 20.
- 38:57No 19, OK, now go to 21, 15. That's the same.
- 39:06I was thinking maybe 2019 draft or the Hall of Fame got screwed
- 39:10up by COVID in 2020. Was it actually in 2021?
- 39:14If you think about it, all these things are actually the next
- 39:17year. Yeah, it's 18.
- 39:19It's it's 1818 inductees or 18 eligible eligible.
- 39:24And I wonder why it was double for 2020.
- 39:26I don't. I have no idea because it seems
- 39:29like 181818 all the way down. All the way down.
- 39:33Warren Moon, first bout, Hall of Famer never won a Super Bowl,
- 39:36but he was a hell of a player. You know why did it take John
- 39:41Madden twice? Like I know it's a a popularity
- 39:43contest, but John Madden changed the viewership of many people.
- 39:47More popular than John Madden and.
- 39:49No, Dan Marino. He'd never won a Super Bowl
- 39:52first bout. Why does that mean Josh Allen,
- 39:55who's never going to win a Super Bowl, is going to be a first
- 39:57bout Hall of Famer? Probably.
- 40:00Which I think is bullshit. Barry Sanders right there.
- 40:03So first bout, Hall of Famer John Ellie, rightfully so.
- 40:07Marcus Allen, rightfully so. Jim Kelly, He went to four Super
- 40:13Bowls and lost everyone. They actually Jim Kelly, who's
- 40:17going. Or they actually choose who's
- 40:20eligible by what. I would consider a better way.
- 40:23There's a fifty person selection committee.
- 40:26OK, OK. That committee meets annually
- 40:30before every Super Bowl to elect 4 to 8 new members from a list
- 40:34of finalists. So it's constantly, it's not
- 40:37always the same committee. Every year they elect 4 to 8 new
- 40:40members, so you must only be able to sit on it for so long.
- 40:44A candidate must receive at least 80% approval, 40 out of 50
- 40:48votes from the committee to be elected.
- 40:50Gotcha. So I'm guessing in 2020 they
- 40:54just agreed on a lot of different people.
- 40:56Right, right. Abnormally.
- 40:58Yeah. Look at the 93 class.
- 41:01Dan Fouts, Chuck Noel, Walter Payton and Bill Walsh.
- 41:11Terry Bradshaw, a terrible statistical quarterback.
- 41:13Terrible. Made the Hall of Fame.
- 41:16First time he won Super Bowls, right?
- 41:19Hello. He won Super Bowls.
- 41:21Statistically, he sucked, but he won Super Bowls.
- 41:25Which is the object of the game. Right.
- 41:27Win Super Bowls. It's not.
- 41:29It's not stats. It's you.
- 41:30You play to win the game. Now look at look at today's kind
- 41:34of players like Baker Mayfield. Hell of a football player.
- 41:37He plays to win, not stats. Does he get in the first time?
- 41:44Well, right, The way things are set up right now, yes.
- 41:47Which is bullshit. I agree.
- 41:49But everybody loves Baker Mayfield.
- 41:51You know, Baker Mayfield, he, he speaks his mind and his
- 41:55commercials were hilarious. I really wish they would have
- 41:56taken his his Cleveland Brown commercials when he got traded.
- 41:59I wish they would have moved him to the new stadium and had a bit
- 42:02about that because that would have been funny.
- 42:05Like he's got the wrong. Keys.
- 42:07Totally. They missed.
- 42:08I got the wrong keys. I thought this was where the
- 42:10kitchen was at. Now that's the bathroom.
- 42:13Where am I? Oh.
- 42:14Oh, I'm in LA. That's right.
- 42:16I'm in LA. Huh.
- 42:17Yeah, it would have just. It would have been.
- 42:19It would have been funny as hell, man.
- 42:21And if they steal that idea, now we're suing them.
- 42:23Yeah, absolutely. Lawsuit.
- 42:29Yeah. So I I, so you.
- 42:30Who do you? Who do you?
- 42:31Who do you take for the Super Bowl Patriots?
- 42:32No, I already took the Seahawks, OK.
- 42:37Yeah. I just think that the Seahawks
- 42:39are that much better. So the Patriots are going to
- 42:41have to have luck and they're going to have to play a perfect
- 42:44game. Yeah, they can win.
- 42:47I mean, for all the Patriots fans that are screaming right
- 42:50now, they got a great team. There's no question.
- 42:52I just think the Seahawks have the edge just a little bit, like
- 42:57their defense is a little bit better.
- 43:00And every time I thought that they had reached their peak for
- 43:06lack of a but I'm just trying to think of what I wanted to say
- 43:08there. Every time I thought the
- 43:10Seahawks had reached their peak, they proved me wrong.
- 43:12They're very well-rounded. The The Seahawks played the Rams
- 43:15to get there, though, right? Correct.
- 43:17Three times they beat. Him How many points and how many
- 43:20points did they give up in the final playoff game?
- 43:23Oh fuck, I don't know. That was a crazy game, right?
- 43:26That wasn't a defensive game at all.
- 43:27It was not. That's why.
- 43:29That's why I don't. I'm not sold on Seahawks defense
- 43:32because they gave up so many points, but the Patriots won.
- 43:36The Patriots won a weather game. Right.
- 43:38Right, right. The Patriots won a weather game.
- 43:40So that kind of that could have gone either way.
- 43:43It just could have gone either way.
- 43:44You can't. You know what I mean?
- 43:47Had had Bo Hicks not broke his ankle, does that game change?
- 43:52I don't know. Because it's a weather game.
- 43:54Weather should always play a factor in football because
- 43:57that's part of the reason why we as fans enjoy watching the game.
- 44:00Rain, snow. So when they put these teams in
- 44:03domes and shit, I think it's it's just boring.
- 44:05It's it's, it's not real. It's you need.
- 44:07It's the extra element that nobody can control.
- 44:10OK, so here's what I'm going on. OK, yes, they gave up 27 points
- 44:17to the Rams, right? But here's where my mind goes as
- 44:22a gambler, and this is what you need to do when you're gambling,
- 44:25you got to know as many facts as possible, right?
- 44:28Yeah, You got to fold them. Kenny Rogers was right there.
- 44:31That's why you got to know to walk away.
- 44:33That's it. You got to know when to run.
- 44:35So the Rams were the most potent offense in the NFL this year.
- 44:38Agreed. Number one, right?
- 44:41So they did give up 27 points. Chris Dunham is right.
- 44:44But I go back in history and the only other time that the OR the
- 44:51Seahawks have given up any amount of points is every time
- 44:54they played the Rams, who are the number one most potent
- 44:57offense in the league. Their final scores before that
- 45:02were 41 to 613 to 327 to 1018 to 1637 to 926 to nothing.
- 45:13I take that back. They gave up 24 points to the
- 45:15Titans, but they still won 30 to 24.
- 45:18They got beat by the Rams. For everybody that was screaming
- 45:21saying the Rams beat them one time, dickhead, right, 21 to 19.
- 45:26So they only gave up 21 points 22141912 The Buccaneers beat him
- 45:35on October 5th, 38 to 35. You see what I'm saying though?
- 45:39Yeah, traditionally they gave up less than 20 points in every
- 45:42game they played this season. OK.
- 45:45So here's since we're talking about gaming, here's my bets.
- 45:48I put $3 on the New York Giants to win the Super Bowl next year.
- 45:53How much does that pay if you win?
- 45:55228 bucks. I love that right?
- 45:59That's a good. Bet I, I, I put $2.00 on what
- 46:03the fuck is this? Oh, there's going to be there's
- 46:07going to be a score in the last play of the first half in the
- 46:10Super Bowl, whether it's a field goal or or a touchdown pass.
- 46:14The last player of the first half.
- 46:16Right. There'll be a score and then I
- 46:18have that caveat. I have another little caveat
- 46:20there. That'll be a field goal at the
- 46:21last last play of the second of the first half.
- 46:25Did you bet on the coin toss? No, because it was stupid to me
- 46:30it wasn't enough money. Straight odds.
- 46:32It's like you if you bet $2.00 you get 216 if regardless of how
- 46:36it. Fled to do it because it then I
- 46:38just win from the. Gig I didn't want to win 16
- 46:40cents, man. I thought that was stupid.
- 46:44That's my favorite bet. I don't.
- 46:48Know I got to see what these other fees are.
- 46:52Let's see. So yeah, a score in the final 2
- 46:54two minutes of the first half the.
- 46:56Final 2 minutes, not just the final score.
- 46:59And then I had and then I have one that says the final score
- 47:02and and either team to kick a game-winning walk off field
- 47:05goal. I said I picked that because why
- 47:07not there will be a score in the last play of the game figure why
- 47:11not regulation only Both teams convert 1/4 down.
- 47:18Stefan Diggs gets at least what is it, 4 plus receptions.
- 47:24I have that one too. Smith Nigsba gets over 93 1/2
- 47:27yards. I have that one.
- 47:28Drake Mayo rushes over 36 1/2 yards and Drake Mayo throws for
- 47:33more than 40 yards. I thought that was a stupid bet.
- 47:35Why not Seattle defense? Anytime they score touchdown I
- 47:40think there will be a turnover pick 6 or a fumble pickup scoop.
- 47:43And score back to the one before that.
- 47:45Drake May 40, plus yard Oh I'm sorry, rushing 40 plus marriage.
- 47:49Rushing. I was like, I have two, there's
- 47:51no way they have a bat for him to throw for more than three.
- 47:53Yards. Yeah, I read it wrong.
- 47:55So I have two, I have two wagers for Drake May to throw at least
- 47:5836 1/2 or rush for over 36 1/2 yards and rush for over 40
- 48:02yards. So I don't know why I did that.
- 48:03OK, Seattle will score a defensive touchdown.
- 48:05Because he scrambles a lot. Yeah, and and Seattle will score
- 48:09a touchdown on defence. Sam Darnell will throw at least
- 48:13250 yards. Drake May well throw at least
- 48:15250 yards. The Patriots and I got the
- 48:20Patriots went the the plus 4 1/2 for the for the win.
- 48:26And then I have my other one is Max Homer because Charles
- 48:29Barkley said Max Homer was going to win the US Masters.
- 48:32So I put $11.00 on him to win 600 bucks.
- 48:36Barkley knows golf. He does.
- 48:40I saw an interview with him and he was, it was, it was a kind of
- 48:44a cool little interview. It was like 20 questions with
- 48:47whoever you are and, and a lot of it was, was basketball
- 48:54related. You know, who's the GOAT?
- 48:55Jordan, just without any hesitation.
- 48:59But then when it got to golf, he's, he's that guy's going to
- 49:03win the US Masters. I'm like all right, I open my
- 49:05app up. There you go.
- 49:08To see if Barkley's Barkley's true to form or not.
- 49:10You know, because why not? Well, he loves golf, so you know
- 49:14he follows it. Well, yeah, and he's a gambler
- 49:17because him and Jordan used to gamble all the time.
- 49:19All those legendary stories per hole closest to the pen.
- 49:24Those are two sports that I go to steal for because he follows
- 49:28tennis and he follows golf. He doesn't watch it, he just
- 49:31follows who wins. So he looks at the 10.
- 49:36He loves watching tennis, really.
- 49:39Yeah. Tennis is one of those games
- 49:40when it gets to be like the Wimbledon.
- 49:43And it's, it is oddly entertaining because there's so
- 49:47much pressure on person to. It's almost like the UFC.
- 49:50And when there's no, you know, it's person to person.
- 49:52It's not a team. Yeah.
- 49:55And these people are true. They're playing for being the
- 49:58number one player in the world. I'm not saying that he watches
- 50:01like all the matches that go on during the year, but when it
- 50:05comes to like knowing who the top players in the world are, he
- 50:08100% knows who those. Are that's interesting.
- 50:12And he'll tell you, hey, I got, you know, 5 bucks on whoever.
- 50:14And I'm like, who's that? I was the number one player in
- 50:17the world. He's from Spain.
- 50:18Oh no, she's crazy. That's good.
- 50:20See the only see this just tell you how much I watch tennis.
- 50:22The only thing I remember, I can remember probably a few.
- 50:25Andre Agassi, John McEnroe. When you and I were about 18.
- 50:31Yeah, John McEnroe. That's going back to when we
- 50:33were about. 12, That one guy, Arthur Ashe, because he just
- 50:40stands out. And that, that chick, Billie
- 50:42Jean King, who looks like, I think it was a lesbian.
- 50:46I don't quote man, but that's so.
- 50:49Yeah. And Arthur Ashe, I remember him.
- 50:51It's a terrible thing to remember him by, but he he
- 50:53needed, he was needed blood all the time.
- 50:55And he got a blood transfusion which caused him to contract
- 50:58AIDS back in the day. Yeah.
- 51:00So that was a drag. But yeah, I don't.
- 51:04That's all I know about tennis, man.
- 51:06You've heard the name Roger Federer.
- 51:08Oh, yeah, I was, I was. I was thinking that, but I
- 51:10couldn't pull the name out of the air.
- 51:11But yeah, yeah, he was good, right?
- 51:14He was. Yeah, he was.
- 51:16Martina never to. Lopa.
- 51:17Oh yeah, she got stabbed. She got stabbed on the court.
- 51:20Forgot about that. Yeah, you're right.
- 51:21Yeah, she got stabbed on the court, yeah.
- 51:24That was a famous incident there.
- 51:26It was where? Where was that day?
- 51:28Chris Everett? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 51:32Where's the Where's the security guard?
- 51:35I don't think they ever anticipated anything like that
- 51:37would happen at a tennis match. They probably didn't have what
- 51:40you would call robust security back.
- 51:42Then true playing a Bob way in a yellow shirt or.
- 51:46We were sophisticated at 1:00. Stop.
- 51:48Well, yeah, 'cause that's, yeah, that's, that's prim and proper,
- 51:53you know, prim and proper. And as violent as the world
- 51:57seems, oddly enough, it's the safest time ever for for
- 52:00humanity. Yeah, that's the enigma of the
- 52:04world we live in. It appears to be the one of the
- 52:08most violent times ever. And it's actually the safest
- 52:10time for humanity ever. Well, the one thing like there's
- 52:13certain things that are going on right now from a political
- 52:15standpoint that I'll talk about without choosing sites like like
- 52:19RFK. You and I do not choose sites.
- 52:21That's awesome. No, but I'm talking about the
- 52:22people watching this. Oh yeah.
- 52:24Or listening like RFK is trying to get that thing across that
- 52:27when you go to a hospital that you have a menu.
- 52:30It shows you what you're getting and what it costs.
- 52:32That's one thing I'm going to agree.
- 52:34I 100%. Why is the why is it a mystery
- 52:38what it's going to cost me to have a an appendicitis?
- 52:42Thank you. Just check something.
- 52:44Yeah, if I need my appendix out or if yeah, God forbid you have
- 52:48a heart attack. How much does it cost to fix a
- 52:50heart attack? With and without insurance,
- 52:53because you should put those side by side and it goes to all
- 52:56the way, should go all the way down to these two, these two
- 52:59pills of Advil. You're going to minister.
- 53:01Why is it cost me $300 when I can go to fucking pharmacy down
- 53:04the street and get a bottle for 9 bucks, come back and take it
- 53:07myself? And I can tell you safely
- 53:09because I know. And you probably know how I
- 53:13know. And if you don't, I'll tell you
- 53:14off the air. I know what it cost the hospital
- 53:17to buy that, Yeah, gigantic bottle that I get, which nobody
- 53:22has access to. Yeah, it's like $18.00.
- 53:26And they get like, yeah, I don't know, 3000 of them or something.
- 53:29It's 1000% increase for somebody to take it out, walk to Mike,
- 53:35take these. Thank.
- 53:37You, you know what it is and you're going to love this.
- 53:40It's not the pills that cost that much money.
- 53:43It's that little cup. But you can only that.
- 53:46You can only get at a doctor's. Office the cup you use for jello
- 53:50shots. OK this you can get a party
- 53:52city, you know 1000 of them for 4 bucks.
- 53:55I'm sure that's what I don't. See, all the money is that
- 53:57little cup. But yeah, that'll be interesting
- 54:00because it'd be nice to it. Like it'd be nice to know what
- 54:02that that food is you're being fed.
- 54:05You know why I agree with him on this?
- 54:06Because long before he said it, and he might have stolen it from
- 54:10this guy because he's a famous economist.
- 54:13Yeah. Clark Howard.
- 54:15Clark Howard has been yelling that from the rooftops for
- 54:18years. Why do we not know when we go in
- 54:22there what it's going to cost for medical services?
- 54:25You know when he uses the analogy, and it's a great
- 54:28analogy, when you go in to get a brake job at the auto shop, They
- 54:31don't know. Well, you know, when we get
- 54:34done, we'll let you know what it costs.
- 54:35It could be anywhere from $6 to 6,000,000.
- 54:38We're not sure till we get the job actually done.
- 54:41What you're going to have to pay, right?
- 54:43You would tell that auto shop. Fuck you.
- 54:46I'll go down the road to Frank's Auto shop.
- 54:48Who's going to tell me what it cost to do a brake job?
- 54:51But for some reason we have such a tight lobbyist system in the
- 54:56medical field and the insurance field that they have a
- 54:59stranglehold on it and they've all agreed we're not telling
- 55:02them shit. Right.
- 55:05Yeah. The other thing, it's.
- 55:06Fascinating that it works that way.
- 55:09Right. Well, and I'll give you I'll
- 55:10give you an example of of auto. OK, so I have I have a client,
- 55:15John and Elizabeth Ronchetto. Nikki taught.
- 55:18Nikki was in the same school with with with Elizabeth when
- 55:21she was teaching in Haley. Elizabeth wasn't was an admin.
- 55:24Nikki was teacher. Several years ago, John and
- 55:27Elizabeth were married and they bought a house.
- 55:30Use me to buy the house. Thank you.
- 55:32When my mechanic died, what the fuck was it called?
- 55:39I forget now. Tom's Automotive when Tom passed
- 55:42away, family took over. Long story short, business got
- 55:46closed, taken over by the owner. So then, OK, now I'm screwed.
- 55:49I don't have a mechanic I trust. OK, which sucks.
- 55:52So then I reminded Liz did something and reminded me, Oh
- 55:56yeah, I tried. John's a mechanic.
- 55:57So I reached out to John, AZ auto shop in Queen Creek.
- 56:01Super nice guy. Go see him.
- 56:04I I asked him last week or two weeks ago, hey, what would it
- 56:06cost to have an oil change and make his vehicle?
- 56:08He's like, what is it like VIN number, year and make all that
- 56:12kind of jazz. He looked it up, verified what
- 56:14it was. I said $112.58.
- 56:18I'm like, OK, that's less expensive than the dealership
- 56:21charges. So we swapped vehicles.
- 56:24Tuesday. She took my truck, I took her
- 56:27vehicle. After I got done working out,
- 56:29went to John's AC auto shop, changed the oil, did the things,
- 56:34the all little checks whatever $112.58.
- 56:39As it should be. Right, you know from when I was
- 56:42shopping for tires because my truck it's it was due for tires
- 56:46and my tires can go from 2000 to 2600 bucks because it's it's a
- 56:49truck. They're 3333 inch tires or 2020
- 56:53inch rim, but 33 to 1420 or whatever.
- 56:58This time I opted to do not off road so I get a smoother,
- 57:02quieter ride. So this did all terrain and I
- 57:06went to three different shops. Costco got crushed like a buck.
- 57:09Man, I was surprised at Costco, right?
- 57:14Discount tire wanted whatever. I ended up doing this Big O
- 57:19match Discount Tire and and Costco just got destroyed.
- 57:24So I went with Big O because the guy at the shop was funny.
- 57:28Like I went in there and said, Hey, man, I, I, you know.
- 57:32Now it comes down to your staff, right?
- 57:34Same price, right, guys? Funny.
- 57:37Love it. Mike here.
- 57:37His name is Matt. I was like, hey, Matt, here's
- 57:39here's what I'm shopping for. He's like, I'm not going to lie
- 57:42to you, you're competing against Discount Tire.
- 57:43And then and then he's like, why?
- 57:44You know, a couple minutes go by on his computer.
- 57:47Well, I see the tire right here is this.
- 57:48I'm like, dude, you can't cheat. You can't go to their website
- 57:51and look, you just got to take your product and give me your
- 57:55best price. And then we went back and forth
- 57:57for about 10 minutes because he couldn't, he couldn't, he wasn't
- 57:59meeting the price. I'm like, no, no, no, no.
- 58:01You want my business, You have to meet or beat their price,
- 58:04man, Otherwise I'm going a mile and a half down the road.
- 58:07And save money. I said you guys put these tires
- 58:09on there now. OK, so I'm giving you the
- 58:12opportunity to repeat your business, just with a different
- 58:14tile of tire style of tire. So the other day he he met it
- 58:17like full on. He met it.
- 58:19And of course then, you know, I gave him shit because it's, you
- 58:22know, 10% discount. And then he when they put him
- 58:24on, he came back with the alignment test and he holds this
- 58:28thing up and it's all, you know, red.
- 58:29It's not supposed to be red. He's like, you know, I can do
- 58:32all these for whatever it was, what, $165?
- 58:36And then you have a three-year warranty and come in every month
- 58:38if you want and rotate your, you know, balance your tires.
- 58:40I said you just got your 10%. Back, didn't you?
- 58:45That's not why I did it. I'm like, yeah, but you did.
- 58:48But for the people listening. Amanda, you Matt, where we?
- 58:54Are all enigmas. And I don't know how you fix it
- 58:57until you break the cartels. If you didn't have the ability
- 59:00to do that, imagine if everything in your life was like
- 59:03the the going to the doctor or at, God forbid, ended up in the
- 59:07hospital, right? Yeah.
- 59:09If everything in your life was like that, you would never know
- 59:12what your grocery bill was going to be every week.
- 59:15You would never know how much it cost to buy a car, how to fix
- 59:18it, how much to fix a car. But we just openly accept that
- 59:23because these are the all knowing people who control our
- 59:27health that that should we shouldn't even talk about price
- 59:30with them. Well, and that goes back to this
- 59:33debate. I've been talking to somebody
- 59:35about listing their house. OK, so it's a divorce situation.
- 59:40So I told them both, if you use me to buy, then I, I will come
- 59:43off the listing Commission because you're going to both use
- 59:46me to buy, right? So I get a message this morning,
- 59:49would you do, would you do 2 1/2% for the listing side?
- 59:51And I said yes, because you're using me to buy because when I
- 59:54go to help you buy a house, I'm going to ask for three to offset
- 59:56that later the conversations. Would you do too?
- 1:00:00No, I want you to, I'm like it. It blows my mind.
- 1:00:06A realtor like myself, I'm protecting the single largest
- 1:00:11financial investment that you made or will make.
- 1:00:16And you're going to nickel and dime me to death.
- 1:00:18And you're going to nickel and dime me to death.
- 1:00:20But if you go to the doctor and you, you, you pay the $50
- 1:00:24deductible without even blinking an eye.
- 1:00:26Say what? The dentist, you go to the
- 1:00:28store, you spend everything you have to spend on food without
- 1:00:31blinking an eye. You don't go to the cashier and
- 1:00:32say, OK, I'm going to, I'm only going to spend $2.00 for that,
- 1:00:34not 4 lawyers. You can't have a conversation
- 1:00:38with a lawyer unless you give the money for the time upfront.
- 1:00:42Yeah, try Dicker and with a lawyer on price, they'll just be
- 1:00:45like, do you want to walk away? Yeah, they'll walk away.
- 1:00:48Mechanics. Kidding me.
- 1:00:49Mechanics, right? You can go shop around mechanic,
- 1:00:52but if their price is their price is their price.
- 1:00:54That's right. When they tell you it's going to
- 1:00:55be a $1100 brake job because you need rope, rotors and calipers,
- 1:00:59you can't say, well, I'll give you 650.
- 1:01:01They'll say no. Take a hike, man.
- 1:01:03Right. You go to work tomorrow, your
- 1:01:05boss says, hey, Mike, you know, we, we like you, you're cool
- 1:01:07dude and all, you know, but we're just going to knock you
- 1:01:10down a percent for this month on your pay because we just feel
- 1:01:14like we can. Yeah, go fuck yourself, right?
- 1:01:17That's what they'd hear. So everything in the world that
- 1:01:20you do, aside from real estate, in the consumer's mind, you just
- 1:01:27pay it. Blind faith.
- 1:01:29I'm paying the dentist, the doctor.
- 1:01:31You go get, you go get this. What are you putting those
- 1:01:33eyebrows in your face? You what is that?
- 1:01:36You, you pay that fee, whatever the fucking they say it is, yes,
- 1:01:40you're going to pay. You go to physical therapy,
- 1:01:42you're paying whatever they're telling you to pay.
- 1:01:44Well, you pick the best one. The other one would be, you
- 1:01:46know, try Decker in with the cashier at the grocery.
- 1:01:48Store. Yeah, yeah. 6 bucks for apples I
- 1:01:51think three I think I'm keeping my apples.
- 1:01:54Right. I think we're keeping our
- 1:01:56apples. It's ridiculous.
- 1:01:58Well, everybody says the two biggest purchases you're ever
- 1:02:01going to make are your house and your car, and those are a fact.
- 1:02:04But think about how much 2nd place your car is, right?
- 1:02:09You just said it. Your single biggest purchase
- 1:02:12that you're going to protect is your house.
- 1:02:14Because if you don't know all the things that are pitfalls
- 1:02:19before that person buys the house, they could potentially be
- 1:02:23in the movie The Money Pit, which yes, you're old enough
- 1:02:26like Chris and I Great. That's a great example of how
- 1:02:29you can just end up house rich and cash poor.
- 1:02:33Yep. Right.
- 1:02:35Yep. So you may have a house that's
- 1:02:36worth $300,000, but it needs $300,000 worth of work.
- 1:02:41Now you're stuck. Yeah, absolutely stuck.
- 1:02:44And that's what people don't, they don't understand.
- 1:02:46They, they, they think because, and this is the only reason I
- 1:02:49can figure it, they think because my job is to negotiate
- 1:02:52you the best terms and conditions possible, whether
- 1:02:53you're buying or selling a home. That means you can negotiate.
- 1:02:56Would I make? Well, you and I have talked
- 1:02:59about this and I agree with you. I think moreover than that, it's
- 1:03:02even more simplistic because people are not as smart as we
- 1:03:05give them credit for sometimes, right?
- 1:03:07They think that you show them the house, you fill out the
- 1:03:11paperwork, you have them sign it, you give them the keys, you
- 1:03:14get the money and you walk away. And that's about all the time
- 1:03:16they think you've invested in there, right?
- 1:03:19My God. And I know you have clients who
- 1:03:22they love you because they understand that that's not true
- 1:03:25on a level that you, I can't even imagine.
- 1:03:28But I think the average person really thinks that Chris Dunham
- 1:03:31puts maybe 122436 hours into a transaction and you know, that's
- 1:03:37about it. And then he makes his money and
- 1:03:39he walks away to the next one. And what a life that is.
- 1:03:42When in reality, you might have 12 to 14 hour days, days on end
- 1:03:49trying to negotiate this. But we think the roof is bad.
- 1:03:53You don't think the roof is bad. We think there's a leak
- 1:03:55somewhere. You don't think that, you know?
- 1:03:57Yeah, that's the protection part that they don't see behind the
- 1:04:02scenes where you're talking to the contractors, the home
- 1:04:04inspector, the termite guy, the pool guy.
- 1:04:08Yep, 63 people get paid every time I close on a house.
- 1:04:12I still think that fact blew my mind the first time you said
- 1:04:15that. So the only one that gets Nickel
- 1:04:18and Lamb to death is me. The other 62 people get what
- 1:04:22they get paid. Right.
- 1:04:25You're not dickering with them, you're strictly dickering with
- 1:04:28you. Right, right.
- 1:04:31So if you take a cut on your Commission, you take the cut,
- 1:04:34the title person doesn't take the cut, the bank doesn't take
- 1:04:38the cut. There's a good one.
- 1:04:42Try dickering with the bank. Right I.
- 1:04:45Held it. Bitch just came says what
- 1:04:52happened to this. I'm like I emailed it to you
- 1:04:54dude. Like to this address.
- 1:05:01That's so funny. I'm sure he's going to go back
- 1:05:04and see that he had an e-mail. Oh, he just, no, he's and he's
- 1:05:08just saying like, like on January 25th I said I said
- 1:05:13February 6th worse. And I was like, cool.
- 1:05:17And he's saying he just now saw this, you know which, you know,
- 1:05:23that's why I ask people for their cell phones and he didn't
- 1:05:26give me a cell phone. So we'll get them rescheduled.
- 1:05:29It's all good. Yeah.
- 1:05:36It's all good. We're used to this, ladies and
- 1:05:38gentlemen. That's part of the creative
- 1:05:41process. Not everything works out the way
- 1:05:43you want it all the time. I don't know why he's asking me.
- 1:05:49Why wasn't it in your calendar? It's not my job, Phil, Vince, to
- 1:05:53put in your calendar, man. That was on you.
- 1:05:56If if I put you on the show and you don't put in your calendar,
- 1:05:59that's your fault. Oh, he's asking why?
- 1:06:01Why you didn't put it on his calendar?
- 1:06:03Yeah, he's like, I don't know why it wasn't on my calendar.
- 1:06:06I have no idea, Vince. I know you did, Vince.
- 1:06:08We're lucky to make sure we know it's on our calendar.
- 1:06:10That's all the further we're going to know with on my
- 1:06:12calendar. I'm just saying that's all the
- 1:06:14further I'm going to commit to is.
- 1:06:16That's why I, I always laugh and I appreciate that you keep me in
- 1:06:20the loop. But I, I'm always like, he's
- 1:06:22adorable because Chris will give me like the next 4 guests and I
- 1:06:26love it. But I'm like, I just need to
- 1:06:27know who's next, man because that's all I can remember.
- 1:06:31Yeah, I even I even looking up our our show e-mail.
- 1:06:34I sent him. I sent him an e-mail yesterday.
- 1:06:38He never responded. To it.
- 1:06:42I know you do. Yeah.
- 1:06:44Stellar work when it comes to scheduling this show.
- 1:06:47That's why I direct everything towards you, because that way
- 1:06:50one person can keep it under control.
- 1:06:52It's too hard for two people to do it.
- 1:06:54Yeah. You do a fantastic job man.
- 1:07:00I appreciate that. I give credit where credit's
- 1:07:03due. I also give criticism where
- 1:07:05criticism. Yeah, and you and you do a
- 1:07:07fantastic job editing. So because I went in, I went in
- 1:07:10on the show, we were talking about all the different, you
- 1:07:12know, women, you know, from growing up, sitcoms and whatnot.
- 1:07:17And I was like trying to find a little snippets.
- 1:07:19Yeah. I don't know how.
- 1:07:20I don't know how to. Quit that down.
- 1:07:22Yeah. Do you want me to cut those out
- 1:07:24of the ones that you picked? Is that where you're going with
- 1:07:27that? Yeah, you could do that because,
- 1:07:29because. Well, and see my thinking
- 1:07:31because I think. Our I know where you want to.
- 1:07:32Enjoy that. Yeah, I think our viewers will
- 1:07:34enjoy that. If you if you don't know what
- 1:07:35I'm talking about, we had a show.
- 1:07:38Where you'll hear in a week or so.
- 1:07:43I pulled, I pulled this out of my drawer, which was a
- 1:07:45scooby-doo pest dispenser. So Mike and I, so Mike and I
- 1:07:48obviously started talking about, you know, who's hot, or Thelma
- 1:07:51or Daphne. This guy I work with got a kick
- 1:07:53out of that, that that's how that started, with some cartoon
- 1:07:56characters. So, but from this thumb and
- 1:07:59Daphne, scooby-doo Pez dispenser, we went down this
- 1:08:02tangent of all the shows we watched when we were growing up
- 1:08:05and you know, all the different supermodels and things of which
- 1:08:08one's hotter, this one or that one.
- 1:08:10So I went into the show because I usually let Mike edit.
- 1:08:13Every now and then I'll edit it. And so I was like, I want to
- 1:08:15pull some of these out to get them, get them up and running
- 1:08:17because I think they're funny bits, but I couldn't figure out
- 1:08:20how to just grab Daphne and Wilma or Daphne and Thelma.
- 1:08:25It wouldn't let me. So that's why I'm hoping Mike
- 1:08:27can go in and edit this down so actually get each little segment
- 1:08:31is probably 1520 seconds long, maybe 30, but they'll be funny
- 1:08:34little bits that you guys will all enjoy.
- 1:08:35Plus then you can give us your opinion on Thelma or Daphne who
- 1:08:40now for your females out there, we didn't talk about Fred and
- 1:08:43Shaggy, but we'll let you talk about that and let us.
- 1:08:46Know that'll go in the comment section for sure.
- 1:08:50Because we are an equal opportunity, you know, employer,
- 1:08:55I guess. We're an equal opportunity
- 1:09:01opportunity, yeah. Yeah, I flooded out on my
- 1:09:06irrigation a little bit. That's interesting.
- 1:09:12Have you been irrigating like the whole time we're on here?
- 1:09:15No, it went from 7:45 to 9:00, but it it, it continues slowing,
- 1:09:20you know, because it just moves. But it just tells me I got to
- 1:09:23put some more dirt on my front, my front berms to secure it
- 1:09:26because there is our land moves ranges every year.
- 1:09:29Just just one of those things. I got to get some more dirt out
- 1:09:31front. That's all Shit happens.
- 1:09:33I have enough rock now in place that when it does overstep and
- 1:09:37overcome, then it just goes on my rock and just sits there and
- 1:09:41and you know. Wasted by the time I fell asleep
- 1:09:45and flooded Kevin's whole backyard because the.
- 1:09:46Pool. Oh yeah.
- 1:09:47Automatic pool filter. The automatic pool filler did
- 1:09:51not work anymore, so you had to do a hose.
- 1:09:53Garden hose. Yeah, fucking came home one day
- 1:09:58and threw that hose in there and laid down on the couch and it
- 1:10:00was one of those 118° days and the air conditioning hit me.
- 1:10:06Next thing I hear is what the fuck?
- 1:10:08I was like, Oh no, you just wake up and know instantly what
- 1:10:13happened. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:10:15Oh, I forgot the hose. Can someone explain to me why my
- 1:10:19socks and my shoes are wet when I walked out to start to grill?
- 1:10:25Yeah, water still running. Sorry.
- 1:10:30Sorry. 400 and some dollar water bill in 1996 it was pure.
- 1:10:37It'd be like $1000 water bill today.
- 1:10:41Yeah, yeah, that's funny. That's crazy.
- 1:10:45I was watching it. I was watching it because I was
- 1:10:47like, it would came up to my steps and I'm like, huh, I
- 1:10:50haven't flooded out in a while, but yeah, it's just, it's weird.
- 1:10:56It hasn't rained or anything either.
- 1:10:57Usually it's because the ground's so dry.
- 1:10:58It just sucks all that water up, man.
- 1:11:00But you guys had more dirt in the front yard?
- 1:11:04Didn't you have like the wettest January on record or?
- 1:11:07Something we did but but the last irrigation run it was
- 1:11:10raining and the lady before me didn't pull her stop so my
- 1:11:15irrigation got all jacked so I didn't actually have a full run
- 1:11:17of water. So this time you would think
- 1:11:20because the ground was dry it was soak it all up right away,
- 1:11:23but well, you. Additionally had the warmest
- 1:11:26January on record. We did.
- 1:11:28Yeah, too, right? Yeah.
- 1:11:29Because I mowed the lawn yesterday and it was dry like it
- 1:11:32was. It was for the fact I got done.
- 1:11:34My eyes were red. You would have.
- 1:11:35Between you and my cousin, you post almost every Arizona fact
- 1:11:39that I need and I think she's the one that said something from
- 1:11:42ABC15. It was like the warmest January
- 1:11:45on record. We had three days in January
- 1:11:48that were at or below normal. Everything else was 3/5 or 10°
- 1:11:52above which was fine. I now some people think, oh,
- 1:11:56that means knock on. Wood that doesn't mean shit.
- 1:11:59That means that this is going to be a hottest summer on record,
- 1:12:01which I don't agree with that. It's just it's just January now.
- 1:12:04It's February 6th and it's beautiful.
- 1:12:06You watch, it could potentially be the coldest summer on record.
- 1:12:09Anything's possible. We we don't control the
- 1:12:12universe. So my my next 10 days
- 1:12:17818081807973746669 and 74. Well, we're actually warming up,
- 1:12:26so I can't report that good of numbers, but we are 40 today,
- 1:12:3127354754 on Tuesday, 4337394349. We're getting there.
- 1:12:40At least it's above freezing now.
- 1:12:42This just in from ktr.com. Phoenix police chief admits
- 1:12:46wrong man was killed by officials in January 26th
- 1:12:49shooting. Oh boy, oh boy.
- 1:12:53That's not good. Oh boy, hey.
- 1:12:56Real quick, what do you think about this Savannah Guthrie
- 1:13:00thing that's going on there? They're from Tucson.
- 1:13:03I think she was kidding. Her mother, I think she's still
- 1:13:05alive. Well, you and I both subscribe
- 1:13:09to the all the criminology things and whatnot.
- 1:13:11And if if they've not received a ransom note?
- 1:13:15So here's why I ask OK, they received 1 and I just found this
- 1:13:19out. That's why I brought this up at
- 1:13:21first I not that I wasn't interested, I just didn't have
- 1:13:23any fax. Yeah.
- 1:13:25So on Instagram today I saw the brother make a statement that
- 1:13:30says you have contacted US1 time with I don't know if there was a
- 1:13:36demand, I forget. The point is there's been no
- 1:13:40more contact, he said. We're not going to fulfill any
- 1:13:45kind of ransom demand until we know she's alive and there's
- 1:13:48been zero contact after that first initial contact.
- 1:13:52That's weird to me if she's still alive.
- 1:13:56Yeah, that is weird. Maybe they accidentally killed
- 1:13:58her? Well, the other, the other thing
- 1:14:00that I yeah, the other thing that I heard was it must have
- 1:14:02been a professional job because they disabled the cameras at her
- 1:14:06house and they took the Ring doorbell.
- 1:14:09Oh yeah, to go in and kidnap her.
- 1:14:11All her surveillance was disabled.
- 1:14:14And the Ring doorbell was. So it poses the question, what
- 1:14:18does Savannah Guthrie know? Or what does her mother know?
- 1:14:23Because that's a random person to randomly take their mother.
- 1:14:26What does that reporter know? Did it freeze?
- 1:14:33No. OK, 'cause my thing just acted
- 1:14:35like I was freezing. No, I'm thinking, what did her
- 1:14:37mother know? Oh yeah, yeah, 'cause really,
- 1:14:39No, I don't think her mother knows anything.
- 1:14:41I'm. Thinking she could be ACIA
- 1:14:42operative? What?
- 1:14:44Maybe Savannah didn't know that. Right.
- 1:14:46Oh, that's OK. That could be I'm getting you
- 1:14:49can get down that route at all, but I'm just thinking what what?
- 1:14:52That could be too. Because Savannah Guthrie's not
- 1:14:55making millions of dollars doing what she's doing.
- 1:14:57Those those people think that on air personalities are just
- 1:15:00dripping with money. They're really not for what they
- 1:15:03do. Hold on before.
- 1:15:04You and yeah, well, you know, I'm going to say 7 figures, but
- 1:15:07I'm going to say 7 figures. But she's not.
- 1:15:09She's not like 20 million a year shit.
- 1:15:13Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, she's not.
- 1:15:16She's not Megyn Kelly. No.
- 1:15:19No Megyn Kelly can command a huge salary.
- 1:15:21Yeah. The ones that have the
- 1:15:23Nationwide syndicated, you know, Al Roker, you know, Good Morning
- 1:15:27America, you know, whatever the ones there are those things,
- 1:15:32those things weren't that kind of money because you have
- 1:15:35Nationwide viewership, nationwide sponsors, nationwide
- 1:15:38commercials. She makes $8 million a year.
- 1:15:42Yeah, that's why I said 7 figures.
- 1:15:43But she's not dripping in money. That's, you know, and who knows
- 1:15:47what her lifestyle's like because we all know about Odell
- 1:15:49Beckham couldn't manage 10 million a year.
- 1:15:52You can't build generational wealth on that.
- 1:15:54Right, right. You can't.
- 1:15:56So we don't know her spending habits and shit.
- 1:15:59You know, like Russell Wilson is trying to buy the $16.2 million
- 1:16:02airplane from Epstein and he denies it, but there's proof
- 1:16:04that he, they were having conversations.
- 1:16:08So, you know, you don't want that to come out before you sign
- 1:16:11your contract because then it looks like you don't need the
- 1:16:13money. I'm actually, you know.
- 1:16:15I'm glad you brought that up again because I would like to.
- 1:16:17I would like to tell people, if you're going to do things that
- 1:16:20you're going to deny later, don't put it in fucking writing
- 1:16:24and don't have pictures and don't have video evidence.
- 1:16:27Because all you fuckers that have said I don't know him, I
- 1:16:31wasn't there. I didn't do it.
- 1:16:34It looks real bad when you're in the fucking pictures and you're
- 1:16:37in the e-mail begging for whatever you said you didn't do.
- 1:16:42I can guarantee you a couple things.
- 1:16:44All the deep dark secrets that I have, there are no photographs,
- 1:16:48there are no video, There is no video evidence.
- 1:16:51And I didn't fucking put it in writing, ever.
- 1:16:55So if you want to know how I got lucky enough to stay out of the
- 1:17:00legal radar and the societal radar, I didn't talk about it.
- 1:17:04I didn't put it in writing, and if I did talk about it, I talked
- 1:17:07about it with somebody like Chris Dunham who knew how to
- 1:17:10keep his mouth shut till after the statue of limitations had
- 1:17:12passed. There's certain things that you
- 1:17:19can only talk about with certain people who know that you can
- 1:17:21only talk about those things with those people.
- 1:17:25And I guarantee you, now that the Clintons are being forced to
- 1:17:27testify, their answers going to be, I plead the 5th.
- 1:17:31I do not recall. I have no recollection of that.
- 1:17:35I feed the fifth. I've watched the show this black
- 1:17:37time. I watched that woman, Monica
- 1:17:39Lewinsky. Yeah, did not.
- 1:17:41I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman on
- 1:17:42my desk because he didn't. She just went down on me.
- 1:17:48And then I was excited and I made that blue dress white.
- 1:17:51I'm going to tell you if you want to see the greatest, I
- 1:17:56didn't do it, and I'm going to stall for time in the history of
- 1:18:01the universe. You watch the Senate hearings
- 1:18:03when they tried to impeach that guy.
- 1:18:05Yep. And they asked him if he had sex
- 1:18:08with her. And he says, well, that Harkins
- 1:18:09me back to a story when I was about 6 years old and I was
- 1:18:12fishing on the boat with my grandfather and it was about 12
- 1:18:15noon and it was hot. Let me tell you, it was hot.
- 1:18:19And he just went on and on and on and on.
- 1:18:21And the senator would finally lose his mind.
- 1:18:23He'd be like Mr. Clinton, answer the question.
- 1:18:26Well, that Harkins me back to another story when I was about
- 1:18:2812 years old in Arkansas. And oh, it's.
- 1:18:32Brilliant. There's there's there's a reason
- 1:18:34why presidents interoffice, you know, having that worth of like
- 1:18:39$1,000,000 and then leave with a net worth like 68 million and
- 1:18:42more. Well, that adjust there's so
- 1:18:45much corruption. One of the.
- 1:18:46Miracles that happens when you come out of that office is
- 1:18:50you're got a couple extras, the decimal.
- 1:18:52Point moves quite a bit. Obama prime example when he
- 1:18:56first got elected he was like $750,000 net worth.
- 1:18:59Now he's now he's just insane. He's leaking money.
- 1:19:01If he is not the greatest example of they already have all
- 1:19:08this predetermined and who who knew the name Barack Hussein
- 1:19:14Obama other than the people and and barely the people in
- 1:19:18Illinois that voted for him as a junior senator?
- 1:19:22Yeah. And then all of a sudden, he's
- 1:19:25catapulted to the White House in a record number of time for
- 1:19:31somebody that nobody knew, right?
- 1:19:32Exactly. And then did you see the other
- 1:19:34thing that came out of the Epstein files that I've always
- 1:19:37thought is odd? Think you and I are old enough
- 1:19:41to remember Joe Biden when he was in the Senate in the 90s.
- 1:19:45So now they're saying that they actually assassinated Joe Biden
- 1:19:48in 2019 and the person that played him as president was a
- 1:19:51different fucking person. It's possible.
- 1:19:54Their biggest, and it could be a, it could be one of those
- 1:19:57illusions of photography, but they're saying their biggest
- 1:20:01evidence is this photograph when he steps outside the Oval Office
- 1:20:05for the first time as president. And he looks like he's about 6
- 1:20:08foot 6. And Joe Biden is however tall he
- 1:20:11is, I don't know, but he's not 6 foot 6.
- 1:20:14This guy's a giant. And then your ears never lie,
- 1:20:18right? You can't fakes.
- 1:20:21Your ears are unique to you. Yeah.
- 1:20:23Yeah. If you look at Joe Biden's ears
- 1:20:25when he was a senator in the 90s and you look at the guy that
- 1:20:28played supposedly played him as president, they don't match it
- 1:20:31all and neither does his chin. So now the conspiracy is Jim
- 1:20:36Carrey played Joe Biden for four years as president.
- 1:20:42Yeah. Jim Carrey, the comedian,
- 1:20:43correct. Right Now, that would be, that
- 1:20:46would be outstanding. That would explain why Jim
- 1:20:48Carrey dropped off the face of the Earth.
- 1:20:51Right. That's part of the conspiracy.
- 1:20:53Well, did you? You didn't see that part of them
- 1:20:55when they said that Joe Biden was assassinated?
- 1:20:58No, but I, I've seen, I've seen because I've seen clips about
- 1:21:02like because ICE is everywhere, right?
- 1:21:04And I don't, I don't agree with how how things are are being
- 1:21:07handled when it comes to immigration.
- 1:21:10But Trump's not the, the biggest deporter of people.
- 1:21:15That's Obama. Look it up, everybody since
- 1:21:19Clinton, Bill, mind you, have done nothing but talk about
- 1:21:24illegal immigrants and how they're the scourge of our
- 1:21:27country. The drugs, the the, the human
- 1:21:30trafficking, the the criminal aspect of it.
- 1:21:32Every single one of them since Bill Clinton was in office, I
- 1:21:36think before he became in office.
- 1:21:37I think Reagan even had stance on it.
- 1:21:39Now we know why because they are the biggest sex traffickers,
- 1:21:43right? So they're just deflecting away
- 1:21:45from themselves, right? Correct.
- 1:21:48But The thing is, you can hate Trump for what he's doing.
- 1:21:52And again, I don't agree with how he's doing it.
- 1:21:54Every president has done it. Trump is just that guy that
- 1:21:57wants everybody in the world to see him doing it and by any
- 1:22:00means possible. Because again, if you, if you
- 1:22:02look up, if you Google the machine, you look up the history
- 1:22:05of, of presidents and the amount of people they deported, Obama
- 1:22:08crushes them all. All of them, like amazingly so.
- 1:22:12They all wanted tougher immigration laws.
- 1:22:14They all wanted tougher stances on the border.
- 1:22:17They all wanted to make it harder to get in the country.
- 1:22:20What the current administration doing is nothing new, but that's
- 1:22:23all the media wants you to hear about because there's nothing
- 1:22:26else in the media except ICE. Look at all your media outlets.
- 1:22:29All they're talking about is ICE, nothing else.
- 1:22:32It's a smoke and mirrors game. They're hiding something else.
- 1:22:35They're not showing you the other things going on in the
- 1:22:37world because they want all of you followers and sheep to just
- 1:22:42watch the media and focus on ice and ice alone.
- 1:22:46Don't focus on anything else. Just focus on ice and you're all
- 1:22:49doing a spectacular job. It's just focusing on ice and
- 1:22:54what ice is doing to the country and you're going.
- 1:22:57Everything else is going on, everything.
- 1:23:00And that's the problem with the media now.
- 1:23:02They don't focus on news. They focus on what is going to
- 1:23:06get you to click and read and subscribe.
- 1:23:09They're not focused on the actual news at hand.
- 1:23:12Nobody's talking about the fucking Super Bowl.
- 1:23:14Nobody's talking about Artemis 2 going to the moon or going
- 1:23:17around the moon. People are still saying it's
- 1:23:19it's launching today. It was delayed till March 11th
- 1:23:22because they found a leak in the fuel container.
- 1:23:24Rightfully so, but nobody's talking about those things.
- 1:23:28They're talking about ICE. You're hiding something.
- 1:23:30Nobody's talking about Elon Musk just made this giant merger.
- 1:23:33He now has eclipsed $8.2 billion as an individual human because
- 1:23:39he emerged 2 things. Nobody's talking about the fact
- 1:23:41that he's going to stop production on two of the most
- 1:23:43popular Teslas to focus entirely on robots.
- 1:23:47Entirely on robots. But nobody's also talking about
- 1:23:52the fact that he's all over those files as well, right?
- 1:23:57That's what we're that's what we're deflecting from.
- 1:23:59We're deflecting from the fact that the biggest organized sex
- 1:24:05trafficking ring in the history of the universe was just
- 1:24:09uncovered. And they keep fucking burying it
- 1:24:13and burying it. And I do not agree with what
- 1:24:17they're doing with immigration either.
- 1:24:18We have never rounded people up on the streets.
- 1:24:22Let's make it very clear, for every motherfucker that keeps
- 1:24:25coming at me and saying, do you support illegal, They're
- 1:24:29breaking the law. Fuck you.
- 1:24:32First off, fuck you. It's a civil misdemeanor
- 1:24:36offense. It's not a criminal offense to
- 1:24:39be an illegal alien in this country.
- 1:24:42If it was, then we would be the Gestapo, right?
- 1:24:46And that's what we're fighting against.
- 1:24:47I couldn't agree with Chris Moore.
- 1:24:50It is smoke and mirrors and you can't distract yourself so much
- 1:24:54and you can't put so much emotion into it that you lose
- 1:24:58focus of what they're doing behind the scenes and that it is
- 1:25:02clearly the haves and the have nots, right?
- 1:25:05Any economist right now will tell you if you make over
- 1:25:08120,000 or 240 as a married couple, it's the best economy
- 1:25:12you've ever lived in. But if you make less than that,
- 1:25:15it's the worst. And there's that's a stark black
- 1:25:18and white. There's no in between.
- 1:25:19You can't argue that. These are people who all they do
- 1:25:22is look at numbers. This isn't me saying that
- 1:25:24because I don't like Donald Trump.
- 1:25:26January had the worst job loss since the Great Recession.
- 1:25:31That's a fact. He can't stand there and say
- 1:25:33it's a great economy. It is if you're fucking rich,
- 1:25:37right? If you're not and now 120,000
- 1:25:41makes it a great economy, you have to make that much money as
- 1:25:44a single person or a quarter million as a married couple to
- 1:25:49be considered upper middle class That's insane.
- 1:25:53It is insane. I just got my new homeowner's
- 1:25:55insurance. Dude, fucking $1795 a year.
- 1:26:00So what that means what that means and you have a way bigger
- 1:26:04house. I have a 1500 square foot house,
- 1:26:08what that means to me and I'm going to call my insurance agent
- 1:26:11when I cancel it and say I am not paying half of my house
- 1:26:15payment to insure it once every month.
- 1:26:19Yeah, you're fucking nuts. Yeah, that is the same.
- 1:26:22And this is the annual. That's not annual, that's.
- 1:26:25That's annual, no, OK. What I'm saying is if you break
- 1:26:28that down monthly, that's half of my house payment.
- 1:26:31Oh God, wow, that's crazy. It's actually a little more than
- 1:26:35half of my house payment. Yeah, OK.
- 1:26:38By about $25.00 a month. Wow, that's insane dude.
- 1:26:41Yeah, that is insane. And it's not like you have major
- 1:26:44catastrophes where you. Live, I have 0 claims.
- 1:26:46That's what that's what I saw red dude.
- 1:26:49Yeah. You guys told I have hail damage
- 1:26:51on my roof that's been signed off by two roofers and State
- 1:26:54Farm told me and you guys won't. Yeah, they're not close enough
- 1:26:57to they have these stupid fucking rules, right?
- 1:27:00Right. So last year in August, State
- 1:27:02Farm announced that they are going to recover their money
- 1:27:06from the Hurricanes and the floods and all that fires in
- 1:27:09California from every other member of the United States.
- 1:27:14So we are raising your rates 40 some percent.
- 1:27:16They weren't kidding, dude. I went back and found my 2025
- 1:27:20bill. It was 1295.
- 1:27:22We went to 1795 in one year, $500 a year.
- 1:27:27Yeah, yeah, no, my auto insurance went up, but it went
- 1:27:30up because of my fault. One is because that stupid lady
- 1:27:33that I rubbed her car up in Munn's Park AAA, paid her $1700
- 1:27:38for $25 fix and I inadvertently ran that red light that I still
- 1:27:43got as a witness. Had I not seen the footage,
- 1:27:44there's no way I would have agreed that I ran a red light.
- 1:27:46So those two things, I knew my rates were going to go up
- 1:27:49because those two things happen, but I'm not.
- 1:27:51I can't complain about it because I did it.
- 1:27:53It's my bad. I did both those things, but the
- 1:27:57Months Park 1 was a complete joke because really she was
- 1:28:01chasing money. Then she, you know, got a lawyer
- 1:28:04was going to sue, sue, sue. And there's like there's no
- 1:28:06reason to sue. You weren't in the vehicle.
- 1:28:09Nobody was injured, right? The fact that the fact that this
- 1:28:12nice little place up there didn't have camera sucked
- 1:28:15outside. They only had them inside
- 1:28:16because it would have shown half a mile an hour turn exterior of
- 1:28:21my tire rub. This woman, if, if you don't
- 1:28:25remember the story, this woman came out of the store, looked at
- 1:28:28her car and was jumping up and down like a toddler having a
- 1:28:31screaming crying fit because he couldn't get a popsicle.
- 1:28:35And then she grabs her phone and starts filming me and goes to my
- 1:28:38tailgate and films all the information on my tailgate about
- 1:28:40my business and puts it my faces.
- 1:28:42You need to, you need to sign something.
- 1:28:44I'm like, I no, get that out of my face.
- 1:28:48It's nothing. There's nothing physically wrong
- 1:28:51with your car. It can be buffed out.
- 1:28:53Take it to an auto dealer when you get home, buff it out and
- 1:28:56send me the bill that'll cost you $25.
- 1:28:59My $9000 paint job on my 1990 Toyota Camry.
- 1:29:02Fuck you, but that's the world now.
- 1:29:06Those people are adorable. That is the world we live in,
- 1:29:09right? Everybody is entitled. $1700
- 1:29:12right and she got $1700 for literally I have a friend I sold
- 1:29:18houses to probably 3 or 4 people that have the the knowledge of
- 1:29:21looking at something saying this is how you fix it.
- 1:29:23Kevin looked at it, sent me a message.
- 1:29:25Dude, carburetor cleaner, get a rag, get put on the carburetor,
- 1:29:31put some carburetor cleaner on that rag and, and go like this
- 1:29:34and you'll clean that off. I'm like, dude, it's not my car,
- 1:29:37but that's what it would take to clean that off.
- 1:29:40That's. Somebody that I remember
- 1:29:41discussing this, that's somebody that does this for a living,
- 1:29:44that's like, you know, he would be the first person to say if
- 1:29:49you fucked up, oh, dude, you know, pair whatever she wants
- 1:29:52because she's right. But all day.
- 1:29:55Long it's the opposite of that. It's somebody saying no, I can
- 1:29:58fix that in 5 minutes, right? So to the people that I just
- 1:30:03supposedly you know, I feel bad. I probably offended some people,
- 1:30:06but they need to stop what I would ask them.
- 1:30:09And it when those people are standing in front of me and I
- 1:30:11give them the fuck you, it's because you're not being a human
- 1:30:15being. Put yourself.
- 1:30:17What would solve all this entitlement problem and where I
- 1:30:21have to check myself is put yourself in that person's shoes,
- 1:30:24Right. That's why I always hate when
- 1:30:26someone says pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
- 1:30:29Well, that's easier said than done.
- 1:30:31When you're the person sitting in your own house that's warm.
- 1:30:35You sleep in a warm bed, you take a warm shower, your clothes
- 1:30:37are clean. It's real easy to look at that
- 1:30:40person that you consider a loser and say, hey, fucker, why don't
- 1:30:43you do what I did? Yeah, ish.
- 1:30:50That's easier said than done. Right now, if I'm that person
- 1:30:54and I put myself in that person's shoes, I've already
- 1:30:57been there. So I can tell you from
- 1:30:58experience, it's not that easy. It doesn't work the way you
- 1:31:02think. It works when you're the high
- 1:31:04and mighty person sitting on the top of the hill.
- 1:31:07No, you got to remember what it was like to be at the bottom.
- 1:31:11Because that's where everybody starts.
- 1:31:13Yeah. We're all, we're all born
- 1:31:14exactly the same and we all die exactly the same.
- 1:31:17Exact. What you do for the time between
- 1:31:18it is what sets us apart. Absolutely.
- 1:31:22Try and be a karma karma read Chris's shirt.
- 1:31:25Karma do that. Yeah, I called this.
- 1:31:29I made makes you feel better. Yeah, I, I make, I make phone
- 1:31:32calls, right, For for clients and current clients, past
- 1:31:35clients, things like that. I called this one later today
- 1:31:36because I go in the MLS where you have the searches set up.
- 1:31:40I looked at it and said, OK, she she hasn't, she hasn't looked at
- 1:31:43it in a while. So I called her up.
- 1:31:45Basically, it's like if I called you, hey, Mike, it's Chris, I'm
- 1:31:48the real estate guy. How you doing?
- 1:31:50And right out of your mouth. I'm no longer interested.
- 1:31:52I live in Indiana. I have no need to buy houses in
- 1:31:54Arizona. You just need to stop and then
- 1:31:57hangs up. So I text her.
- 1:32:00I'm like, the reason I was calling you, Mike, was to
- 1:32:04confirm that you were OK with me removing the search because I
- 1:32:09seem to recall that you were no longer interested in Arizona.
- 1:32:12But I don't want to abruptly just take that search away.
- 1:32:15By the way, karma's a beautiful thing.
- 1:32:17God bless you and have a nice day.
- 1:32:19I like that response. Thank you.
- 1:32:21So so here's another little funnel tid that my day started
- 1:32:24out like this. After I take the garbage out
- 1:32:27this morning and as I walk into my dumpster, I can I can hear
- 1:32:32the neighbors to the east coming.
- 1:32:34You know the neighbors to the east.
- 1:32:35If you don't know the neighbors to the east, these are people
- 1:32:37that are just jerks. They, I have a list of things,
- 1:32:40you know, the first two weeks we lived here, they pointed out,
- 1:32:43oh, you know, there's something wrong with the, the boundary
- 1:32:46lines of, of the property. You know, just always
- 1:32:50nitpicking, always not receptive to normal human requests.
- 1:32:54Couple weeks ago I was, I was driving by them and I waved and
- 1:33:02they all just were shocked, right?
- 1:33:04Because, you know, trying to be the better person.
- 1:33:08So I'm going to the garbage can. I have garbage stick in my
- 1:33:11dumpster and I hear him walking behind me, throw my garbage
- 1:33:15away. I turn around.
- 1:33:16Shit you not. I could have reached out and
- 1:33:17touched Grant. What do I say?
- 1:33:20Morning, Grant. Kristen and their daughter who's
- 1:33:25probably maybe 10 years old, maybe don't say a word as we
- 1:33:31pass. Now I'm here.
- 1:33:34I hear Kristen say you have no response to that.
- 1:33:37I'm thinking what? You didn't have response to
- 1:33:40that. You just showed your daughter.
- 1:33:41Let's how let's, let's, we just showed our daughter monkey see,
- 1:33:44monkey do. Regardless of what you think
- 1:33:47about me as a human, regardless of what I think about you as a
- 1:33:49human, because I think you're, you know what you think you are,
- 1:33:52but it's, it's, it's, it's, it's we're, we're crossing paths.
- 1:33:56So it's the second time I've made an effort to at least be
- 1:33:59civil. And her response is you didn't
- 1:34:03reply to that. Well, you didn't reply to it
- 1:34:05either, Christian. Right.
- 1:34:07So does that make you any better than your husband?
- 1:34:08I think not. And that's the that's the part
- 1:34:11that they're missing. You just hit the nail on the
- 1:34:14head. For every situation that happens
- 1:34:16like that, that person is not thinking.
- 1:34:20You just did the same fucking thing.
- 1:34:22Yeah, literally there is. No, it's not like there's a Gray
- 1:34:28area there where? Well, you know, you did this and
- 1:34:31I did that, and they're apples and oranges.
- 1:34:33Right now we have apples and apples.
- 1:34:35You literally did the same fucking thing that you're
- 1:34:38criticizing before. That's one of my pet peeves.
- 1:34:41And and since we had that falling out, they've never said
- 1:34:44hi. Whatever, when I waved that one
- 1:34:48day, then the very next day I noticed what was what was unique
- 1:34:52was usually when I leave a little man, I'm driving on the
- 1:34:55on the correct side of the road and they're usually walking on
- 1:34:57that side of the road, which I think is stupid.
- 1:34:59There's no sidewalks. You don't walk in the lane of
- 1:35:01traffic. The next day they crossed to the
- 1:35:05other side of the road. So when I left, there was no
- 1:35:09they weren't in my way and the window was up because it was
- 1:35:13cold, but I still nodded. I don't remember if they nodded
- 1:35:15back or not because I was driving, but still the effort
- 1:35:17was there. So the thing today was just kind
- 1:35:21of like, like really like legit. We're we're this far apart.
- 1:35:27You can't tell me you didn't see me.
- 1:35:29You can't tell me you didn't hear me, right?
- 1:35:31And then it reinforced the fact. You're talking like 2 feet.
- 1:35:34Right. And then reinforced the fact
- 1:35:35when Kristen and walk, when they all walk past the wife, you
- 1:35:38don't reply to that. I was like wow, wow, OK.
- 1:35:43That's how entitled people can be.
- 1:35:46Well, they're just assholes. They don't.
- 1:35:47They just, they think they're right and they're not, which is,
- 1:35:49you know, kind of like the crazy cat lady yelling at the
- 1:35:52irrigation guy we talked about earlier today.
- 1:35:54It has nothing to do with you. It's not your house that you're
- 1:35:56on. If no, and I'll tell you the
- 1:35:58other thing that people need to keep in mind is the person that
- 1:36:01you think that you're fucking with.
- 1:36:04You may be able to fuck with that person, but you're not
- 1:36:06thinking about who that person knows, right?
- 1:36:10Like I use myself as an example. There's twice in my life I can
- 1:36:14think of, at no request of mine. When I was younger, somebody
- 1:36:19found out that somebody was fucking with me and they got the
- 1:36:21shit kicked out of them that I found out later on, Right?
- 1:36:24Yeah. Because that's when I started to
- 1:36:27learn, for whatever weird reason, people love me.
- 1:36:31Well, the weird reason is because, as you know, as my
- 1:36:34friend of more than 30 years, yeah, I'm hyper loyal to people
- 1:36:38that are loyal to me. Right?
- 1:36:40Agreed. When you call me up and you need
- 1:36:42something, if I can do it to the best of my ability, I'm going to
- 1:36:44help you out. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:36:46So. Remember what Nikki says?
- 1:36:49Yeah, go ahead. Remember.
- 1:36:51When you're picking on that person, they may have friends
- 1:36:53that are either. You get a higher echelon, a
- 1:36:56higher political, a higher whatever.
- 1:36:59You know, however you think you're the big man, they may
- 1:37:02know somebody that's way bigger than you.
- 1:37:04Yeah. And and see, I get that way when
- 1:37:06we're running, when we're walking the trails and stuff.
- 1:37:08If, if, if you wave to somebody, I get you running.
- 1:37:11I get you out of breath. But how hard is this?
- 1:37:15Yeah, So then Nikki, Nikki thinks it's, it's just me being
- 1:37:19petty, but it's not it's it's you're running.
- 1:37:23It's not that hard. I have people.
- 1:37:25What zone you're in, dude? I have people I work with that I
- 1:37:28do that all day long with. I might see them five times a
- 1:37:30day. We say hello every time.
- 1:37:31What's up dude? It's not that hard.
- 1:37:33How you doing? Even if you're making sure your
- 1:37:34day is going OK, right? Even if you don't like me, you
- 1:37:37still out of just being a human. All they have to do is.
- 1:37:42That's where I get missed. That's where I get misconstrued
- 1:37:45a lot and I have to explain to people I have.
- 1:37:49I try to be nice to everybody. That's my baseline, right?
- 1:37:53Because I think that your shirt is what I try and live every
- 1:37:56day. I try and remember that the
- 1:37:58person standing across from me is breathing oxygen.
- 1:38:01Had to get up in the morning, take a shit, put their clothes
- 1:38:03on, take a shower, get out the door just like I did, right?
- 1:38:06I'm no better than that person. That's the way Mama Kay raised
- 1:38:09me, and she's right. So we start there.
- 1:38:14But then I have hierarchies of what I like to call my
- 1:38:17friendships. I have people that I rely on,
- 1:38:21like yourself, to tell me that I'm fucking up.
- 1:38:24And if Chris Dunham says, hey, man, Are you sure you want to do
- 1:38:27that? I'm going to listen.
- 1:38:28Yeah, because he's got nothing but love.
- 1:38:30He has no reason to want to look better than me, be better than
- 1:38:34me. I know all these things.
- 1:38:36Everything that comes out of your mouth that's constructively
- 1:38:39criticizing what I'm doing is done from love.
- 1:38:42I'm not going to take that same constructive criticism from
- 1:38:45someone that has not lived that same life, right?
- 1:38:49So when I get asked why are you nice to that person?
- 1:38:52Simply because I'm trying to be a better person, right?
- 1:38:56Right. I'm not going to lower myself to
- 1:38:58their level anymore and try and out fuckery them for lack of a
- 1:39:02better term, right? Right, right, because.
- 1:39:04I have no interest in playing that game.
- 1:39:06No, it takes 2 to tango. You know, I, I mean totally.
- 1:39:09I'm not, I'm not sitting here being all high and mighty.
- 1:39:12Oh, I did nothing to offend them.
- 1:39:13No, I and I didn't take it that way at all.
- 1:39:16No I know which I really didn't do anything to offend them.
- 1:39:18We just asked them to clean up their shit literally because
- 1:39:20their house and their yard smells like shit.
- 1:39:24So it wasn't being disrespectful.
- 1:39:26It was the, the, the, the original context was we had a
- 1:39:31spot in the backyard our grandson loved to play in and
- 1:39:33flies and odor, which is constantly from that corner
- 1:39:36because of how they had their chicken coop and how they had
- 1:39:39their compost bin and how they don't take care of their
- 1:39:42livestock feces that way. I mean, that was the extent of
- 1:39:46it. And that's what created this
- 1:39:48entire sideways track, because their response was so negative
- 1:39:52and combative that you just couldn't look past it, right?
- 1:39:56You know, Which sucks because it is, but it is what it is, so.
- 1:40:00Well, the flip side, the flip side of that is you try and be
- 1:40:05nice to people and then they think that you're a pushover
- 1:40:07too. So, you know, I always tell
- 1:40:09people the beast in me is sleeping.
- 1:40:11It's not dead. Like don't keep coming at me.
- 1:40:13Yeah, yeah, it's just when you ignore.
- 1:40:16Someone or you try and be nice multiple times about a situation
- 1:40:20that like you just described. I can't live with this
- 1:40:22situation. Do something about it.
- 1:40:25It's a simple request. Yeah, don't be combative, just
- 1:40:29acknowledge it and move your stuff so it doesn't smell.
- 1:40:32Then you wouldn't want me to come over and shit on your
- 1:40:34kitchen floor while you're making eggs in the morning.
- 1:40:37Right, and then maybe there wouldn't be a six foot tall
- 1:40:40block wall with 12 foot tall hop seed to totally block your noise
- 1:40:44and sound out right and you can explain to all your visitors why
- 1:40:47that's there now. So when I have to become that
- 1:40:50person, I always look at the other person and say I didn't
- 1:40:53want to have to do this right? Right, because you were just
- 1:40:56about to say it and I rudely interrupted you.
- 1:40:58It takes way more effort to be an asshole than it does to smile
- 1:41:03at someone and brighten their day.
- 1:41:06Yeah. We've discussed this, it makes
- 1:41:07you feel good and it makes the other person feel good.
- 1:41:10How is that? There's no negative to that
- 1:41:12whatsoever. And I would say that's probably
- 1:41:15my single biggest goal is somehow along the way, I became
- 1:41:20a negative asshole for a while, and I fucking hate that person.
- 1:41:24I just do. I remember what that person was
- 1:41:26like, and I'd know why I didn't have any friends and no one
- 1:41:30wanted to be around me. So let's try to not be that
- 1:41:32dude. But unfortunately for the world
- 1:41:35and the universe, that guy's still in there, right?
- 1:41:37Don't. Yeah.
- 1:41:39Everybody, you and I are still grown men at the end of the day.
- 1:41:42We're not going to let somebody just roll over us.
- 1:41:44No. And everybody's going to have
- 1:41:46their bad days and bad moments. But but that this morning was
- 1:41:50just that was just I was blown away like and Nikki's Nikki said
- 1:41:54it before you either love me or hate me, but do you really hate
- 1:41:57me so much that you just can't like because he does everyday he
- 1:42:03walks like he's like. He's that's an unacceptable
- 1:42:05level like. Yeah, he does.
- 1:42:07I'm a Nazi. He walks like a Nazi, like in a
- 1:42:09concentration camp. I mean, that's the look on his
- 1:42:11face. It's it's pitiful.
- 1:42:13He's just, it's like a resting anger face every time I see him.
- 1:42:17So is, I don't believe it's directed at me.
- 1:42:19But if it is like, my God, are you putting forth so much energy
- 1:42:23just to hate me? You don't know me.
- 1:42:25You haven't known me long enough.
- 1:42:27Before the relationship was fractured, you only knew me for
- 1:42:29maybe eight or nine months to begin with.
- 1:42:31And that was just from a neighbour's standpoint.
- 1:42:34I feel sorry if you don't. Know me, I really do.
- 1:42:36I just it's it's blows my mind. It's just it's mind boggling
- 1:42:40because you're. Wasting so much of your life
- 1:42:43being that is person you could be happy.
- 1:42:46Why would you not want to be happy?
- 1:42:48Right. And again, I'm not sitting here.
- 1:42:49I am I that part of that's not my fault because I'm sure part
- 1:42:51of it is my fault because we had some discussions, you know?
- 1:42:55But those discussions came about because they weren't willing to
- 1:42:58be a human and clean up their shit.
- 1:43:02Right. We have to be able to agree to
- 1:43:04disagree and move on like human beings.
- 1:43:09You know, everybody, not everybody, but people have
- 1:43:13moments where they have a falling out that they think is
- 1:43:17never going to be. And I'm not saying this, but I'm
- 1:43:20saying I've actually had a falling out with people that I
- 1:43:23have loved dearly that I thought I was never going to talk to
- 1:43:26again, that I have a beautiful relationship with to this day,
- 1:43:29right? You just never thought that
- 1:43:32these things were going to happen.
- 1:43:33But if you can move on and realize that life is fleeting
- 1:43:38and short and we're so insignificant in the fabric of
- 1:43:41the universe, why don't we just have a good time with the time?
- 1:43:47We don't know what's going to happen next, right?
- 1:43:49No, no, you could die tomorrow. And so many people that we know
- 1:43:53had lately have done have died tomorrow.
- 1:43:56And that really puts it. A friend of mine, good friend
- 1:44:00Sunshine, she just listened to the episode with Nate where his
- 1:44:03wife's got in a car accident that could have been so much
- 1:44:05worse. Well, yeah.
- 1:44:06And that's how fast things happen.
- 1:44:08She's like, jeez, right there on your show.
- 1:44:09You know, you guys kept going very well.
- 1:44:12I love the episode but you know, thank God she was OK and blah
- 1:44:15blah. Blah.
- 1:44:15And and and to our credit, we thought Nate was joking because
- 1:44:18he did a little, I told her the comedy and legit, when he said
- 1:44:21that I was like, like, you're kidding, right?
- 1:44:22And he's like, no, I'm serious. Like really.
- 1:44:24And I told him afterwards, like, dude, we totally thought you
- 1:44:26were just good spoofing, you know, because it was just that
- 1:44:29light heart of a fun comedy. He knows the vibe we were in at
- 1:44:32the time. Yeah.
- 1:44:33Oh yeah, you know. Yeah, and then when you saw his
- 1:44:36eyes, it's like, oh, shit. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:44:38She's like, yeah. You could tell there was a
- 1:44:39moment you guys knew he was serious.
- 1:44:42Yeah, for sure. Yeah, All right, we're going to
- 1:44:46wrap this up. I got shit to do.
- 1:44:47I'm sure you do too. All right, brother.
- 1:44:48I yeah, Vince, Vince message back why wasn't on my calendar
- 1:44:52and that was the last thing I, I, I sent him 2 messages.
- 1:44:55He hasn't responded yet, so you know.
- 1:44:58Well, if you want to come back on Vince, we'll reschedule you.
- 1:45:00It's all yeah, yeah, because I want to talk about the mountain
- 1:45:02thing. That looked really cool so.

- 1:45:06we do this every time. So if you're feeling sad,
- 1:45:08sorrow, depressed, suicidal, don't do it.
