  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? It's Romeo, and we talked about
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: our relationships with Michael Biehn. We got a little MLB,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a little football talk, and then, of course, we had
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: MCOR stop by, and we talked about your heating and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: air conditioning. And when you found out you had a kid,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: what happened? I got to tell you about this. I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: have a friend who is going back to Alabama, going
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: back to Bama, maybe Birmingham, for a wedding.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And he tells me this. He goes, yeah, he was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: telling about how he's going back. His cousin's getting married. And,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you know, a little bit about the way. Oh, man,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it sounds like fun, right? Then he proceeds to tell
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: me yesterday. No, it was yesterday. I don't know. First
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: he tells me he's going back for this wedding. He says, oh,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: by the way, we're going to the night before the wedding.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: We're going to have the dinner. You know how you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: have a dinner before the wedding? It's going to be
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: at the house. And it's a taco bar. I mean,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you don't laugh at that, okay?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: A taco bar. You're going all the way to Alabama
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to eat some terrible taco. Ain't nobody ever made a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: good Mexican dish in the Midwest or in backwards Bama, okay?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So you're going for a taco bar. So that was funny.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That was funny in itself. You know it's going to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: be terrible. With all the good food and soul food
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that is made in that area, you're going to have tacos, right? So, okay,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: good luck. We're laughing about it. So he proceeds to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: tell me this morning it gets even better. They said
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we're going to have a Mexican taco bar. What's a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Mexican taco bar? Cilantro and onion. Ground beef. Cilantro and onion.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That's the Mexican taco bar. But they're also going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: have an American taco bar. How many of you can
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: guess what an American taco bar is in Bama? Cheese.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Ground beef tacos. If you want it Mexican style, you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: get cilantro and onion. If you want it American style,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you get shredded cheese. Sounds like it's going to be
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a great dinner before your wedding. I don't know who
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: came up with that idea, but, oh, that's a terrible idea. R-8-4-2-5-4-7-7. Funny,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: my boy's heading back to Bama. He's going to his
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: cousin's wedding. And the night before... the wedding, they're having
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a taco bar. Which, right, we all know that the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: taco guy shows up, you know, got some carne asada,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: got some chicken, you got some El Pastor, you got,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I'm saying? We know what
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it's all about, but this taco bar is going to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: consist from what I found out of Mexican tacos, which
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is ground beef with cilantro and onion, or American tacos,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: which is ground beef with cheese. Um, yeah. I hope
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: my boy eats before he goes.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Good morning, now.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Good morning, now. What's going on?
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Romeo, that's Alabama.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: What do you expect? Well, that's my point. You don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: go to Alabama to get bad Mexican food.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: It's Alabama.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Their version of Mexican food is Taco Bell.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: It's like a big oil bill going over there.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, ground beef tacos. That's exactly what I expect,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but nobody can be... In today's modern world... How can
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it be that bad? How can you be doing something
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: so ridiculous by calling Mexican tacos ground beef tacos with
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: cilantro and onion?
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to do pictures of that. That's going
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: to be interesting.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, it is going to be interesting. R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I just don't get it. I mean, with all the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: technology today, everybody knows what Mexican street tacos are, right?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But these fools are going to make ground beef tacos.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The Mexican version has cilantro and onion. And they're probably
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: going to mess up the onion. That's what I need
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to see. I'm with Raider Dave. I got to see
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the pictures too. Because they're probably going to use yellow
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: onion with their cilantro. Because it's a little sweeter. But
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: everybody knows the only way to make a taco with
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: cilantro and onion is white onion. And the American taco
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: is going to be just cheese. And this is the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: night before their wedding. This is their, I mean, you're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in Alabama and you're having tacos? That would be like
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: going to, I don't know, going to the Mojave Desert
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for fish. I mean, I don't know what the analogy is,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: but my gosh, what is wrong with these people? I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: don't even know what kind of shells they're going to have.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I hope they're not buying those hard shells that you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: buy at the grocery store that are already, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: El Paso? Is that what it is? R-D-4-D-5-4-7-7. A taco bar.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Pre-wedding dinner. So, yeah, my buddy, one of my buddies
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is going back to Bama. He's from Alabama, but he
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: lives out in California now. Been out here forever. But
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he's going back to his cousin's wedding. And they have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a taco bar, which I thought the first, when you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: hear taco bar in Bama, what do you think? You know?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And I laughed at that. And then he goes, it
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: gets better. He told me the next day, he goes, yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they're going to have a Mexican taco bar. And I said,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: what's a Mexican taco bar? Like street tacos? Okay, maybe
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. No cilantro and onion. On
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: ground beef?
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So that's the Mexican taco bar. But they also have
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: American taco bar. For those of you that don't want
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to eat Mexican, ground beef with shredded cheese. I didn't
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: even ask what the salsa was going to be. It
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: might be that paste picanha sauce, or it might be that,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: what's that stuff in the jar? It might be Taco
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Bell sauce. Taco Bell sauce, they sell that at the, maybe.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you think things, bumpkins back in Bama, Alabama
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing when it comes to tacos?
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: No.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Damn, Rome. Is the bride
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and groom brother and sister or cousins?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: No, they're not.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: They might as well just get Taco Bell party packs
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for everyone. But who puts cilantro and onion on a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: ground beef taco? Now, I understand people eat ground beef tacos,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and I don't have a problem with that. But if
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you're going to have a taco bar, you don't have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: ground beef. You got to have some asada, maybe some chicken.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's good. It's a good taco bar right there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But to put cilantro and onion on a taco, on
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a ground beef taco, and call it Mexican. And then
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: American is cheese. Oh, my gosh. But what do you expect?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I guess that's what you expect from, that's their idea
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of what a taco bar is in Alabama. So my boy,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: he's going back to his cousin's wedding back in Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And they're having a taco bar the night before the wedding.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Everybody coming to the house, they're having a taco bar.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But they're having a Mexican taco bar when I found
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: out today. Mexican taco bar. They're going to have cilantro
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and onion. American taco bar. The American side is going
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to have cheese. And guess what? It's ground beef tacos
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with the hard shells, I guess. I think it's the the, the,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the rectangle hard shells. Is that what that is? I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: think if I remember correctly, like he got in school,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I think is what he said. All right. Good morning.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: Hey, I don't even know what it was you were
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: talking about, but you don't have to play it. This
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: was just for you, but I'm dead. Literally laughed outside
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: in my car out loud. When you go to the Mojave.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Desert, that's what it's like. That's exactly what it's like.
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: Whatever the analogy was with the taco bar i'm never
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: mad at a taco bar and i'm with you on
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: who don't love street tacos but mojave desert to get
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: fit i'm literally dying in my car thank you so
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: much for the good.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Life that's hilarious yeah i mean A taco bar. They're
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: having a taco. Alabama. Well, boy's going back to Alabama
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: for a taco bar the night before his cousin's wedding.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: They're having it at the house. This is how he
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: broke it down to me. Ground beef tacos. I don't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: know what kind of shells. I'm guessing the ones that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you buy at the store, they're already hard shells. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: he told them it's going to be Mexican style. If
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you want Mexican style, you get cilantro and onion. If
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you want American style, you get cheese. That's why I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: said that. That's like going to the Mojave Desert for
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: some fish. You don't go back to Alabama to get tacos.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You don't go anywhere to the Midwest. You don't go
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: anywhere to the South to get tacos. You don't get
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: no Mexican food. But yeah, well, my boy's cool. He
• 9:57

• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I tell him I've got to go over there and
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: show him how to actually do it, but I'm not
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: because it's not my job.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: It's like I said, I'm eating Waffle House before we
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: get there.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: So I'm expecting the worst and praying for the best,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: And my wife was like, really?
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: That's what they're doing?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, babe. I was like, I don't
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: know what to tell you.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I said, they might try to put.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: You in the kitchen. She's like, I'm not.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Going for that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: It's going to be hilarious. Nothing else I think is
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: going to be hilarious. It's going to be the rectangle
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: taco shells like we used to get when we were
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: in school.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, it is? The pre-made ones?
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: The pre-made ones, yeah. With, you know, no deep fries.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: It's going to be cold. It's going to.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Be soggy from the taco meat, from all the grease
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: and all that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: It's going to be.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Well, as long as they use that taco seasoning packet,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I guess you'd be good.
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, my cousin that's hosting, he makes good money.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: So I don't know why he's doing it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: But he said it's his wife's idea.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: I was like, you might want to stop.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Stop listening to her.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: This is a very bad idea.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Well, they're looking out for both the Mexican and the American.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I guess there's only going to be one Mexican there,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and that's going to be my wife.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe they're looking out for her.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: You said it right. Soul food would have been better.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Soul food would have fried chicken.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Something would have been better.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: We could have did a fish fry.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Fish fry. Yeah, there you go. Fish fry, fried chicken,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: maybe some ribs.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, something.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Something other than what they're suggesting. So, let's believe I
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: will be sending you pictures, and I'll talk about it
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: on Monday when I get back.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: All right. Like I said, my boy's going to a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: taco bar in Bama. Oh, man. What are they going
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to use as a sauce? Probably ketchup. What did Roland?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Roland is my resident Cowboy delusional fan. Let's see what
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: he sent me this morning. I know he hit me
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: up early this morning about something. What up, Big R?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Do the Cowboys play tonight? Who plays tonight? Oh, the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Browns and the Steelers. So what did he say? What up,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Big R? JP Jr. Oh, Joey Porter Jr. was traded
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. It's just short term. Jerry's not going
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to pay $ 30 million for a quarterback not named prime time.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Off to work now, Rome. Oh, okay. So, Joey Porter,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Joey's kid, Joey's boy got traded from the Steelers to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I guess he wants to be paid as
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a top cornerback, $ 30 million a season. Well, isn't Joey
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Porter Jr. a top cornerback in the league? I thought
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: he was one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: When did he come out? Two years? Three years? He
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: should be still on his rookie deal, right? So what
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: is he, two years in, three years in? I thought
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: he was one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Cornerbacks in the league. I didn't... So why shouldn't he
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: be paid like one if he is?
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: Well, there you go.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: All right. Joey, if you guys don't know, Joey Porter's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: from Bakersfield. His son went to Penn State, I think.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Does everybody went to Penn State? I think. Ended up
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: going to the Steelers where Joey won a Super Bowl.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: And.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I guess now he's a cowboy. All right, Roland. Thanks
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: for keeping us up to date.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Start spreading the news.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: I'm leaving today.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Well, close them out.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: You know. Pretty dominantly too, right? Didn't they whoop that ass?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Whooped their ass.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: But anyway, you know, Raider Dave, you know, he thinks
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: everything that I want to tell him, you know, that
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I don't have problems in my life. I have a
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: problem right now, and, you know, you might have to
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: decide it. Because I'm going to take a cruise out
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: of San Francisco, but I don't know whether to take
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the 7-day cruise or the 10-day cruise.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: So I have problems too, Raiderette.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Where does the 10-day go?
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: The 10-day goes to Alaska. The seven-day goes to Alaska, too,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: but it's just less pork.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: That Alaska cruise got great food and good time.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've already been on that one.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: You know what, Rome?
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: And I get such a good rate, I think Romeo's
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: going to go with me.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd take that cruise. I'd take that Alaska cruise.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: That Alaska cruise is beautiful.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And apparently one of the excursions you can get, you
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: can go and see where they train the sled dogs
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: from puppies to adults. Yes, you can.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: And then they have the train, too, that we took
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the train the last, like, two hours. Takes you all
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: through the mountains and everything.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, I haven't seen that one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty cool. I'll send you
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a video. But anyway.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Doug, you got these problems. I'm sorry. It sucks.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: You have the same problems. You know what I mean?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: You know, like after you get off at 10 o'clock,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: you say, man, what do I do? Do I go
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: play golf? Or do I go try to pick out
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a bar that serves the best?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Later, my brother.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Later, Kelly. I mean, life's tough for people, man. All right.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about? Oh, I wanted to talk
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: about Joey Porter's son, Joey Porter Jr. If he was,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: because he got traded to the Cowboys. Who plays? I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: also wanted to see who plays. So Major League Baseball,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: catch up on that. So the White Sox won, and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: they're going against starting on the 3rd, which is Saturday, right?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Let's see. The Yankees and the Rays start on the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: 3rd as well. Oh, they all start on the 3rd.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: The Padres and the Brewers. So the Padres wrapped up
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that series. The Dodgers tonight, they got one more game, right? Yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: tonight they got one more game. The Philly and the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Brady goes to the dot to L.A. Oh, and then
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: all the games start on Saturday. Right? Tomorrow's the second. Yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Saturday's all the ball games. Oh, that's good. All right,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: so there you go. Now you're caught up. I don't
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: know who plays football tonight, though. Is it the Steelers
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys? That's pretty much... Oh, yeah, the Steelers
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys play tonight, 5-15. Okay, on Prime Video. Okay,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: there we go. We're all caught up on sports.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Yo, Rom, Raider Joe. What's up, man?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: Oh, man, I just heard some degenerate called in yesterday
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: saying I was a brown noser to you. I guess
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: you don't know.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I've been calling for 24 years.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Defending the Raiders against you. You know, there's some times
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: where we actually make sense and we've.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: Got to calm people down from being Dallas Cowboy fans,
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: you know, delusional.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: You know, just because I called him delusional, you know. Yeah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: I'm not even going to say his name because it's
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: not even worth it. I don't even know the dude.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: He barely started calling or what?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: He's a young cat. He's a young guy. You know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he just came up. I got phone calls lower than him.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He's new to the show.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: And the funny thing, my wife said, how can you
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: not remember Machado, honey?
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: And I go, maybe that's when I had spine surgery.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: And she's like, oh, that's right.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I go, I was going through rehab.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: I don't remember, 2017 through 19.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I don't remember that. But you know what's crazy?
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: Like, I was saying, I thought the Cubs were going
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: to play the Cubs because we were watching the Cubs game.
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: And the announcer said, we're going to play the Dodgers.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: That's why I was like, oh, we're playing the Cubs.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: Because we've been watching, like last night, we watched the
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: Cubs and Padres again last night.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Gotcha, gotcha.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: And then we watched the Yankee game before that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Yankees are looking.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Good, dude.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I know. It don't matter. People make mistakes.
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, but anyways, I just wanted to, and I'm
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: glad Chili Gilly gets to go wherever he wants.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: You know, and I'm not Chili Gilly, bro.
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: I struggle. I don't have a lot of money, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: I tell, you know, I ain't going to sit there
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: and blow myself up. Chili Gilly does do what he does,
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: and we're all proud of that.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Chili Gilly needs to keep his ass home. He travels
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: too much.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: He sure does.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, did you.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: Ever get clubs or what?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I went back to my Ping I3s.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: Okay. Yeah, I'm playing G.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I went back to
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: my old clubs.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I was going to go try to hit balls.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Today, but I was going to talk to my buddy Dan.
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: And see if he can hook you up with some tricks.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I was happy with my clubs going back because I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like having a 300 again. so right i do like
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: hitting yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: Uh well i'm gonna see if uh i'm gonna see
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: if maybe we can get a hookup on two sets
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: of six sons and we can get a cheaper.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Price well let me know call me i will all
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: right later joe rd4254 is seven seven what did uh
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: roland said me roland said uh go dodgers oh it's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: pittsburgh and cleveland tonight oh that's what gilly said too
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: uh Joey Porter Jr. was traded to the Cowboys. He's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: never been the player that his dad was. Sorry to say,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: he had a lot of pass interference flags. Never really
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: had that catch-up speed. So, Joey Porter Jr. is not
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: one of the top cornerbacks in the league? Somebody told
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: me he was. That's why I'm just curious. I don't know.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I haven't followed him too much. Hey, good morning. How's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: it going on?
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: I swear, Chili Willie sounds like his own biggest fan.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Well, shouldn't you be your own biggest fan?
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I guess, but this is what it sounds like. Hey, Romeo,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: I just got a call from SpaceX. I'm going to
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: the moon tomorrow. Got invited by Elon Musk himself. Don't
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: know how long I'm going to be.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: It's Elon Musk, first of all, but yeah. Okay.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: You know, my only... I can't be lucky enough that
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: he gets eaten by an orchard or gets close to
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: the ledge because he's arrogant, if you ask me.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Hey, you have a cheese fan. Playoffs
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: are here and the Dodgers going to three-peat. Go, Doyers.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Who was it told me yesterday that the bandwagoners, all
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the Dodger fans are going to be on that bandwagon
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: right now? That bandwagon, that Dodger bandwagon is about to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: fill up. Somebody told me yesterday that today was the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: day it would start. Go, Mizuno. Mizuno's. I think I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: have some. My first set of golf clubs were Mizuno's.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't played Mizuno's in years. I think I have
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: some Mizuno wings at the house. Old, old golf clubs.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I think they were Mizuno wings. Something like that. Yeah,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: but if anybody knows where I can get a new
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: set of golf clubs, I went back to my old
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: ones because I broke my other ones. I got problems, man.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I got problems in life. I broke two of my
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Taylor Maids, but they were older clubs, about 10 years old,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: broke two of those, I had to go back to
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: my Ping I3s, because, um, yeah, so if anybody knows
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: how I can get the hookup on some new, uh,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: maybe some Qs, I don't think I want Ps, but
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: maybe some Qs, all right, I guess I'll go strict, Sean, if, uh,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: if Raider Joe can get us the hookup, well, what, what,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: what did Rollins, hold on, let me see what Rollins
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: sent me, Rollins said, big R, believe, uh, Joey Porter Jr.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: has catch-up speed, anyone that runs under a 10.6 has speed,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I seen him on the track, he runs a 4.440, okay,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: all right, well, there you go, like I said, I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: haven't followed him very much, uh, Rome, nothing worse than L.A.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Dodger and 49er fans. Well, there's a lot of bandwagoners.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, in baseball, the Dodgers and the Yankees have the, well,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers have the biggest bandwagon fan base. The Dodgers
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: might actually have a bigger bandwagon fan base than the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Niners do, to be honest with you. Hey, good morning, Rome.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Can you play the Raiders song? First class. Yeah, if
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I can remember where it is. Hey, you have a
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: cheese fan. Bring the bandwagon Dodger fans, the bus, and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I'll be the driver. Yep. Go Doyers. That's funny. All right.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Let me see what we got here. Monday night over
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: at just a wing. It will be there for the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Monday night football game. I'll see you there at five o'clock.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: What do we have?
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: So what is Gilly? Gilly said little Joey Porter had
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: a 4.4 speed. In the combines, that was 2023. April
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't have that speed anymore. That's why he gets so
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: many flags. Good luck, Dallas. That's why Roland never calls in.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: His wife won't let him. Another thing. Oh, that's hilarious.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: What big boys send me here? Hey, Rome, I've been
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: a bandwagon fan of the Dodgers and the Raiders my
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: whole life. Yeah, big boys are real fan. Hey, Big R,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: big fan of the Dodger. Blue, I feel they have
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: been inconsistent this year. I believe it's going to be
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: tough for them to three-peat. Let's go Dodgers, Cowboys, and Lakers.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be tough the way the Yankees look
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: right now. I think it's going to be tough. But, hey,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be neat. It'd be nice to see
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers win. another uh 3p that's kind of cool
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: uh go doyers at least the dodgers actually win championships
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a lot like those niners yeah but you do have
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to admit that if there's going to be the biggest
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: bandwagon fan base in uh the country it's going to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: be the dodgers the niners are second Yo, Rome, the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: first class Raiders song is by far the best one
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you've ever made. It's hilarious. All right. Hey, you have
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a cheese fan. Can you play that Raiders song Royals?
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: That one's my favorite. I like the way you sing
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the song, Rome. You guys got to remember, man, I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: got to find all these songs. I don't know where
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I keep them. Hey, Rome, get some Tacoma irons. I
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: play the... I play the... Ten? They're great. You know what?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I have been looking at those irons, to be honest
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: with you. And I thought about getting some. I thought
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: they would be. They look great. And everybody has positive
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: reviews about them. I thought about getting some. Hey, Rome,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Falcon Joe here. I'm ready for Monday. Screw them ain'ts.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: The Saints? Are the Falcons good? What's the Falcons record? Oh,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: that's Monday night. It's only, what, Thursday? Thursday? Yeah, today's Thursday.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: We could probably deal with Monday tomorrow because what do
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: we got? Falcons and the Saints on Monday night. We'll
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: see what happens over at Just Wing at the Marketplace.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I'll see you there, 5 o'clock.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Hey, Romeo, you better get ready with that Raiders Christmas song.
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: You know that's your number one hit.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: The Christmas song. That's an old song.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that song, man.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: That's an old one, man. All right.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Hey, so what do you think is going to happen
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: this Sunday?
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: You think it's going to be a good game?
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be a coin flip, honestly. I mean,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: they usually play each other tough in the same division,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: even when the Raiders aren't good. I mean, they play
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: each other tough. So I think it's going to be
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a coin flip. I don't know. I think it's going
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to be a good game, though. Yeah, it'll be a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: good game. I think it'll be a close game. Yeah.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: All right, Romeo.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Have a good one, man.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: All right, brother.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Talk to you later. R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7-8. Good morning, Romeo. I'm waiting
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: for the price to come down, and we'll be picking
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: up a new set of Callaway golf clubs. You think
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: prices are going to go down on golf clubs? I mean,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: golf clubs are expensive. That's why when I broke, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: broke two of my tailor-mades over the last few weeks,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and it was time to switch them out. But I
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: can't afford to go buy those new clubs, man. I'm
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: waiting for Joe to hook me up. I mean, Joe's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a Raider fan. A truck will hit a bump on
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the east side all the time, man. Things fall off
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: trucks all the time on the east side, so I'm
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: waiting for Joe to come through. Yeah, golf clubs are expensive, man.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: They're expensive, and once you buy them, they lose their
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: value immediately, so it's crazy. Hey, good morning, Romeo. After
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the Miracle Games and plays Dodgers have had this past
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: two years, I wouldn't be surprised if they win it again.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I just think it would be neat to see it
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: as a sports fan, to see the Dodgers win three
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in a row. I mean, the bandwagoners all suck, and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: they're annoying as hell, but, you know, what are you
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: going to do? It's Bakersfield. All we have is bandwagon fans. Hey, Rome. Oh,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the Callaway price is going down. Hey, Rome. After that
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: controversial Callaway commercial, price is probably coming down.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Nah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: I mean, no.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Callaway will survive that simply because that was just stupid
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and it's over with, you know, even, even the good,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: good golf has been, uh, I think they've kind of
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: come back people. Uh, I don't think, I don't think
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: they lost anything to be honest with you. They didn't, uh,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a little, I mean, people, the people that got upset
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: obviously weren't golfers because I don't think anything's happened to
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: anybody other than them. Just, you know, slapping good, good
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: on the wrist and taking their way. I mean, It
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: was a, I think the sponsors like Callaway and Dix
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: did what they did to make themselves look better. Good
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Good just went back to doing what they're doing on
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: YouTube and it's kind of disappeared at this point, hasn't it?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Have you seen anything about it lately? So, yeah, it's just,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the prices will go down.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: But I'll go get me a new set of Callaways
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: if the prices go down because Callaways used to be
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: some of the best clubs. I don't know if they
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: are anymore. I haven't played Callaway clubs in 30 years.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: But if you've seen the prices drop, let me know. R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Roland said, Big R, let Chili Willie know or Chili
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Gilly know. We've been calling the radio station over 30
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: years and nothing changed. And I'm still the boss, first
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: of all.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Roland, you're right.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: You've been calling the station for... since day one. But
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you are not the boss in your house. Everybody knows that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Al. What's going on?
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: Man, you're lucky I'm not made of money like Chili
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Willie because I just buy you some clubs.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Wait, what?
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: You're lucky I'm not made of money like Raider Rob
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: and Chili Willie because I just buy you some clubs.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I hear it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: That's like room service for Chili Willie.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: It's nothing.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Tell your big.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Balling friends to get you some clubs.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I'll let him know.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: That will get him extra brownie points, Tom.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: All right. I'm just waiting for some clubs to fall
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: off the back of a truck. Things don't fall off
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the back of trucks anymore like they used to. Now,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Michael Bean is here from the Marriage and Family Center, 661-327-5100.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: That's how you get a hold of him. Good morning, Michael.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Good morning. How's everything going? Good.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Hey, I can't complain. Things are just going along just fine.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: So we were talking about it last week before you
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: got out of here, and we wanted to talk about
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: technology and how it's affecting people's relationships. But before we
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: get to that, technology has just changed the dynamic of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: society in such a major way that it can't help
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: but not change the dynamic of relationships, right? True.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Well, anything that changes us will change our relationship.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: So when you look at somebody who was born before technology,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: somebody who's been dealing with the dating scene in a
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: different way, somebody who's been dealing with relationships, and I'll
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: just throw it out there, my grandmother and grandfather had
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: never talked during the day. They talked when they got home.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: They couldn't communicate 24-7 and still do their jobs anymore.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: because it actually took effort. It took away from your job.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: And they would probably say that their relationship is better than, say,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: somebody today who could talk to somebody, could talk to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: their spouse, text their spouse throughout the day. Do you think, Michael,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: that the way that one is better than the other,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: that was a relationship from one era is better than
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a relationship from then today or just different or people
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: are growing up this way. So that's just all they know.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be great and fine or, um.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean, there are different challenges. Um, and
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: I think that's the important thing is it's sort of
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: like examine, look at, embrace the challenges that we face now, uh,
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: But it is interesting kind of comparing a little bit,
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: kind of, you know, it's not necessarily a bad thing
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: that we can stay connected, stay in touch better with
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: our partners during the day. That actually provides some problems
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: when we can't. But, you know, for other couples, it's like...
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Maybe we need some more separation. One of the topics
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: that I think we're going to talk about coming up
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: is this idea of enmeshment and being your own person,
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: while the idea of being able to constantly be in
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: touch with that other person may make individuation more difficult
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: or enmeshment more easy.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I don't... This is such a complicated issue to talk about.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: We've seen how technology... And when we talk about technology, everybody,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about phones, social media, all the ways that
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you can interact with hundreds of people in a moment
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. We've seen it. How
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: do I say this? We've seen it ruin society to
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: some extent. We've seen it make society better to some extent.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: But is it ultimately people that screw it up? Is
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: technology screwing people up or are people screwing technology up?
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense to me? Because you and I,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I see it both.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Ways, Michael.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I see. Having nothing to talk about when you get
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: home because you've said everything in short little snippets through
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: text throughout the day doesn't really make you a better
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: couple when you're face-to-face.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Well, I think some people would argue that, yeah, it does.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: That when they walk through the door, they're already connected.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: They don't have to spend this time kind of like reconnecting,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: figuring out each other's space, getting back into it. It's
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: just sort of continuing a conversation. And for them, that's great.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: I think it sounds like. It sounds like for.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: You, no.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Let me back off a little bit. Let me have
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: my own space.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Those people are wrong, Michael. Well, let me ask you this. Well,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: let me kind of put it this way. If you
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and I texted all week about things that we're going
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to talk about and then got on the radio, that
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be the same conversation. It wouldn't have the same meaning.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't have the same spontaneity. It wouldn't have the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: same depth because in my mind, I've already talked to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you about it. So why, when we're actually doing it
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: on the radio, why would I, you know, I might forget.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: It just, I see, I don't know how to put it, Michael.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I just don't know if tech, I think technology has
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: taken over people and people are reverting to technology at
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: any age. As opposed to, and I think it's ruining
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: relationships in the sense that there's not the same human
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: connection that human beings need for survival and happiness? Or
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: are we just growing up in a way, Michael, that
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: we don't need anymore because we're changing as human beings?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense to you?
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: No, it totally does.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: No, we are.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: The thing we lose track of is that for everything
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: that makes... our lives easier or something easier that's critical
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: to human interaction or human functioning, for everything that makes
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: it easier, there's a cost. And it's usually a hidden cost.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: What is the cost of this quick communication that we
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: can just do? Well, there is a cost. There is
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: a cost for some individuals in, well, I need my
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: separate time. I need my separateness. And now enmeshment is
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: causing a problem in our relationship. The idea of this
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: online dating has become so easy. It's just so easy.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: You can put your profile on there. You can swipe
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: and look at theirs and bing, I got a date tonight,
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: you know. Yet people are– multiple people I've worked with
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: who are dating have reported that it's just– it's really
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: hard to want to go deeper with one individual knowing
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: that you've got five other people that you could go
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: out with tonight rather than the same person that you
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: went out with last night. And so they're having a
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: hard time sort of– kind of making up their minds.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: It's just that whole, you know, too many choices. I'm paralyzed.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: It's the restaurant you go to that has too big
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: of a menu and you spend forever. And then even
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: when you do order something, you're kind of like, man,
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: I should have gotten the lamb chops. I don't know
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: what I was thinking, you know.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I want to kind of go even deeper
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: than that, Michael, of just, well, hold on a second.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Michael Benioff from the Marriage and Family Center. I want
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about this technology thing.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and how it's affecting people and relationships. And I could
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: be totally wrong about it, but we'll find out. Good morning, Michael.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: Good morning, man.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: It's some important questions we're asking. This whole idea of
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: technology bringing us closer together, or is it driving us apart?
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: Is it, you know, is it making it easier for
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: people to have relationships or easier for people to avoid
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: having relationships? I think that's a really messy question.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: It's tough. Um, It's tough. I just don't... Well, it
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: depends on what your idea of bringing us together is, right?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, the idea that I'm, you know, I
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: don't live in the same town as my brothers or
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: sisters or moms and dads or grandparents or whatever. Technology
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: is a great tool to, you know, hey, check out
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the video. We can FaceTime. We can see each other.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I get that, but.
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: From an intimate relationship standpoint, Michael, I think all it's
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: doing is driving people apart. But I also think they're
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: driving friendships.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: Apart, too. It seems to be a bigger distraction. Well,
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: it was made to be a distraction, right? It's supposed
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: to get our attention and keep it, and that's why
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: the sponsors get paid, because we're staring at them, aren't they,
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: instead of at each other, you know, instead of figuring
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: out what we're going to do next.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: And when you talk about closer together or further apart, Michael,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: as a little kid, a baby, there is nothing, more,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm just guessing because I don't remember exactly being
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: a baby, but being a child, there's nothing more soothing, relaxing,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: make you feel safe, more comforting than your parent hugging you,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: holding you, right? Isn't that a human thing? Isn't that
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: a human whatever? for almost everyone and so now we
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: get to the point where well I'm going to ask
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: you the question are we getting to the point where
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: now I get that from a thousand people I don't
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: know because they like something that's stupid and that's where
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I get my gratification out of life that's where I
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: get my security that's where I get my self worth
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: that's where I get the things that make me feel
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: like I'm worth something as opposed to your spouse coming
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: home and you going, man, that was a sucky day.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: And your spouse going, well, come here, give me, you know,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Let's sit down, you know, let
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: me be here for you to help you through this
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: because of how much I care about you versus going,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: what a crappy day. Let me post it online and
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: a thousand people agree with me. So, oh, I'm, I'm amazing.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I'm right. Everybody else is wrong. It's just, doesn't that seem,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: am I wrong about that?
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: I don't think you're wrong. I got my initial training
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: in a clinic setting, and so the clients that came
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: in were not people with relationship problems. They were people
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: with life problems. They really had a hard time functioning.
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: Man, I sure saw a lot of people who I
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: just felt like this person just needs a hug.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Because of professional boundaries, they couldn't give it to him.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: But, man, I did. I just felt like this person
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: just needs to be held for a while. you know,
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: told that they're going to be okay and everything's all right,
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: kind of padded. And we do that padding thing. And
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: it's interesting that Lee, that kind of almost replicates the
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: heartbeat of a child, you know, you hold and pat
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: and you kind of walk and it's the motion. And so, yeah,
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: you feel that just that oneness again, that you experienced
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: for nine months of your life becoming a human, you know?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: So, but now I got to go back to my
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: original question. Are we getting our self worth now? From
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: likes and thumbs ups and emojis from people we have
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: no clue who they are or if they're even real
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: as opposed to the people who raised us or the
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: people who are around us every day or the people
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: who love us the most sitting there just one on
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: one going, I mean, let me make you feel better
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: about your life.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: I don't think we are getting our sense of okayness
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: from that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: I really don't.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: I think we're getting a little burst of adrenaline, a
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: little hit of dopamine that makes.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Us do it again.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: But I really think that a lot of the feeling
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: of just– I just don't feel connected. I think– I
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: think a portion of the increase in suicide that's going
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: on is related to disconnection, that we are essentially addicted
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: to these devices, which pulls us away from other people. So, yeah,
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: I think overall these time-saving devices that make connections so
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: quote-unquote easy– are more distracting than is healthy. I really do.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: So are we chips? Well, but that's the question then, Michael.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Is the human race changing to be controlled by these devices?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Or is biology ever going to kick back in and say, no,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I need you to hug me. I need this person
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: who I have dinner with every night. I need you
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: to sit down and have dinner with me so I
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: feel like when you're on your phone, that we've still
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: had our time together, and I am not over here
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: playing out different scenarios in my mind, how you're on
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: your phone ignoring me.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: Well, genes just don't change that fast, so our society
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: is outpacing our change, and I think a lot of
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: us are not doing so well with it.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: All right. All right, Michael Venus here. He's from the
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Marriage and Family Center, 661-327-5100. Good morning, Michael. What's going on?
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: I think that's a good idea. We were just talking
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: about you can use AI to decide if we're the A-H.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: If we're the bad ones or not, huh? I don't
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: think that relationships are serious... Serious enough for people's mental
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: health in its own bubble. And then we add all
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: these complications around it, which we know are negatively affecting
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: people's mental health. which include would negatively affect their relationships,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: whether it be friendships or personal or whatever.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: And we don't do anything about it. Are we really
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: just that stupid, Michael, that we don't understand that? Like
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: we talked about before, this whole I'm smarter than I
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: know I am because somebody asked me a question this
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: morning about.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, what was it? Time, the time change, daylight savings.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: And I came to work and asked another guy about it.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: And the guy just goes, why didn't you just Google it? Well,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to Google it. I wanted to talk
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: to you about it. I want to talk to a
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: real life customer service representative about it.
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: So are we.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Just, am I the only smart one left in the world, Michael?
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I guess other people would look at
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: that same thing and they would say, man, is he
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: the only dumb person left in the world? So I
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: guess it's like you said, are we– is it– are
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: we just kind of like– not acknowledging a change that's
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: going on.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: I think that's really interesting, though, that sometimes it feels
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: like the default that you should just be doing everything online.
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: What on earth are you doing actually going to... You know,
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: a place where you can interact with another human being.
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: What is that?
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: There's an internet, you know.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Well, but that's the thing, Michael. Think about it. You
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: go home. Now, you get off the phone with me
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: and you go to your wife and you go, hey,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: have you heard anything about this, you know, time change thing?
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: And she goes, well, no, wait, what? Time change? We still,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: you know, and that creates conversations with your partner and
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: And it could go anywhere as opposed to, well, just
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Google it. We don't need to talk about that. That
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: just seems so naive to me. If you really want
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: to have a connection with the person you're supposed to
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: die next to.
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: Well, I suppose we can Google it together and thus
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: have a relationship that's informed by AI.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know that sounds so stupid. People listening
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: are going, oh, Romeo, you're such an idiot. No, I'm
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: smarter than all of you because to have that conversation
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: leads to other conversations.
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: Insisting on having an actual relationship instead of just having
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: a virtual one. It's really a different time when that
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: is cutting edge thinking.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't know, Michael. I think that
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: people don't recognize what's going on in their relationships, and
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: they'll blame each other when the reality might be them
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: because of social media. It might be them because of technology.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: It might be them because of just other outside factors
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: that are distracting them from our relationships. Or do we
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: not care anymore, Michael? Are we out? Are we okay with,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know, having relationships and self-gratification? From somewhere else?
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Well, for a while. For a while, we're more contented
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: with that. For a while, we say, hey, you know,
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: people are confusing. Relationships are difficult. I'm just going to
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: stick with this AI relationship or these online friends, you know,
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: that I understand the rules and the boundaries better. And
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: I don't have to kind of deal with the painful,
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: you know, that sideways look you sometimes get that kind
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: of leaves you wondering.
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute what's going on here relationships are difficult
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: and so for a while I think people do that
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: but then I think it catches up with us I
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: think it does I think people inevitably they end up
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: feeling disconnected feeling lonely and like wow maybe there could
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: be more to life than this and you know a
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: lot of times that's when they reach out to me well.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I got one more thing to throw at you Michael
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: next which is The real big question. Hold on, 100.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Michael.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: Well, good morning.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: All right, so now I've got to ask you the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: major question. If we're getting all our self-worth and safety
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: and whatever from, you know, likes and social medias and
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the Internet, and that's how we're getting everything we need
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: to feel good about ourselves, do we just not have
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: sex anymore? We're not going to have sex anymore because
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: I don't... need human interaction anymore. I could just go online.
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, come on.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: What era are you living in? There isn't such a
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: thing as in vitro fertilization that we all need.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. What era are you living in, for
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: heaven's sake?
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: You know, this is not, you know, the 1950s or something.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: We'll just grow a baby.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. Things are really different. Young people are
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: waiting longer to have sex now. It just doesn't seem
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: to be before. Churches used to kind of have socials
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: so that their members would get together and not be
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: dating outside of their religion. Now, churches are just trying
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: to get their young people together.
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: Nice, nice.
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: So out on a date. So they'll actually, you know,
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: want to have a family and get together because there
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: are a lot of people are just kind of deciding
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: hey you know just by myself is okay and then
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: very often they'll get into you know kind of a
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: later age or get into their mid-20s or upper 20s
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: and then they start thinking oh maybe i need to
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: settle now or something then they kind of get into
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: a relationship and start to develop their sexuality together but
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: it is really delayed now and people are attributing a
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: lot of that to You know, pornography, quite frankly.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Well, that's technology. I mean, now it's just everybody's got
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: it on their phone right now. I can look at
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: it right now on my phone as we're talking if
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I wanted to. I mean, that's technology that's changing human behavior.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: In a way, that's kind of significant, I would think.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I understand the reproductive part, but sometimes sex
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: is just fun. And if you're not living, if that's
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: not part of your life anymore or not part of
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: human life anymore, we're just doing, I mean, I'm not
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: telling you guys to all have sex. I'm just saying
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: the fact that the way that it's changing, the way
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: technology is changing human behavior is a little weird and
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: it's a little crazy. But maybe it's for the better.
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: Well, it's for the different. That's for certain. We do.
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: We're seeing it's like an experiment that you do on people.
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: Every time technology rolls out a new thing, you know,
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: likes or thumbs ups or anything that they roll out
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: is an experiment they are doing with live people. It's
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: affecting people's lives. And there's no trial. You know, there's
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: no this is just let's see what happens doing this thing.
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: And So this is an experiment that's going on, and
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: we don't know what the outcome is going to be.
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: There's going to be interesting things to come.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I do got to tell you something funny, though, Michael,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: before I get you out of here. There was a
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: sports talk guy or radio guy, sports talk guy used
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: to always say sex will always win out. And after
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: what you've just told me. Yeah, it sounds like technology
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: is going to win out.
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: Well, it's going to leverage all of those needs that
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: we have. It needs to connect. It needs to feel
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: good about ourselves. It needs to feel like we matter.
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: It's going to try to use those things that are.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: Already genetically in us in order to get our attention
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: and sell us stuff and become a more integral part
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: of our lives. And that's what, that's what the people
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: that create technology do.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: I've been telling you guys about MCOR services, Hillcrest, HVAC, heating,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: air conditioning. They do it all for you. And there
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: is nothing worse in life. than being uncomfortable in your
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: own home. Whether it's 150 outside and you're not cold,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: whether winter comes in those few days a month when
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: it is cold and you're uncomfortable in your house. And
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Steve from MCOR is here. He is our... What's your silly....
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: It is a comfort advisor. Comfort advisor. I will advise
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: you on how to stay comfortable.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't call it a silly. So real quick, for
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: those of you that don't know about MCOR services, Hillcrest,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: they've been here for. since what? 1950, 1950, 1950. They're
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: all union guys. They're very, they know exactly what they're doing. Um,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: I will say I saw one of the cars parked
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: at the golf course the other day. I don't know
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: if he was working or in a golf tournament.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: No, it was golf tournament, man. If you look on our, uh, LinkedIn,
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: it was you, huh? There was, I had to skip
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: out on that one. You know, I was, I was
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: down for the count last week.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: So, uh, real quick though, before we get into all
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the HVAC stuff, um, One of the things, they do
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of community stuff, obviously. So they go sponsor
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: teams for golf events, things like that. I know you
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: guys are doing something today.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: We are, man. We're the courage sponsor for the VI
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: Pink event at AIS Cancer Center downtown. It's going to
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: be an outdoor event. It's free to anybody that wants
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: to come out and hang out. There's going to be
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: some vendors there. some speakers, some really great stories. You know,
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: early detection is so important with breast cancer, and we
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: couldn't be prouder to partner up with AIS. What time
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: is that going on? I would get there about 5.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: The event starts at 5.30, runs until 8 o'clock, and
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: as I said, completely free.
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: Okay, cool.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Well, you guys go check that out. Now, Steve is
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: here so that we can talk a little bit about
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: your heating and air conditioning because, well, it costs a
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: lot when it breaks. It costs a lot if it's
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: not running efficiently. Obviously, everybody in Bakersfield knows you need
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: AC for summer because it's so hot here. Yes. We
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: forget about the heating, though, side of it. I do
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: want to ask you the first thing.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Stuffiness. Sometimes when it gets cold out, you turn your
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: heater on, your house gets kind of stuffy. Is that
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: a flow issue? Why does it get like that?
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: We just don't have enough fresh air coming into the
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: house during the wintertime. A couple of things. We spend
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: more time indoors in the wintertime than we do, obviously,
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: when the weather's nice. Either we're out by the pool
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: if it's too hot or these great days like last
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: week when you can go out and golf and just
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: really have a great time. But when things start to
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: cool off a little bit, we spend more time inside.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: And so it's very important that you want to recirculate
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: that air. That's why indoor air quality becomes so important
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: during those winter months. Our dander, our pet dander, dust,
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: everything is just kind of building up and staying stagnant
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: in there. There's a couple of things that you can do.
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: Like just turn the fan only on for a couple
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: of hours every day. Like I have mindset that runs
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: 10 minutes per hour per day. Just the fan comes on.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Just the fan.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Just recirculating that air.
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: And the number one important thing. Rome, you know this.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: Change those air filters. It's the most cost-effective way to
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: keep your air quality better and to extend the life
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: of your equipment.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: And what do you guys do? You come in, you
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: clean out our ducts? I mean, how do you guys
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: help us?
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. So indoor air quality, there's a couple of things
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: we can do. First things first, you know, if your
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: home's 20 years old, 40 years old, even 10 years old,
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: we live in one of the most dustiest environments on
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: the planet. And that dust can accumulate in your ductwork
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: and blow out into your home again. What we do
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: is we have this machine called a Roto Brush, and
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: it's basically this high-powered, super-efficient HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner with a
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: rotating brush on top of it. Different sizes for your
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: different-sized ducts. Man, it really cleans them out and makes
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: them brand new. So you can kind of start fresh.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: And then also, if you're interested in indoor air quality,
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: I don't want you to get those really, really thick
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: filters that restrict airflow into your system. We want to
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: keep you at about a MERV 10, MERV 11, 10.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe a MERV 13 if your system can handle it.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: But let's talk about some indoor air quality where we
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: can make your unit the largest air purification system you own.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: I do want to talk about that. If you guys
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: want to get more information to find out, give them
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: a call, 661-335-1500 or mcorehillcrest.com. I don't... I wonder, Steve,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: if we overlook this stuff.
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: My dad always told me two things. Don't ever go
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: cheap on tires or mattresses because they use them every
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: single day. Right. We use the air in our house
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: every single day, whether it be heating or AC or,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: like you said, the fan. I mean, who's ever told
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: you to turn your fan on just to circulate the
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: air in your house?
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: Just to get it moving around. Nobody really has told you.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm here, Rome.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm here.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: We're expanding the knowledge.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Well, we got to figure it out. Hold on a second.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: He is from MCOR Services Hillcrest. He is our comfort
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: control something. Comfort advisor. Comfort advisor.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: Comfort advisor.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: I got to get that one down.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: That's a great title. And what he does is he
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: comes into your home and he tells you where you can,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: where things can be more efficient. how things can be
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: better as far as your comfort goes, heating, air conditioning.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm still going to stand behind this is, this
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: is very important for your life. I mean, just the
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: dust in the air, the particles, the, it's just so important,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: our homes. And it's probably what the only thing, the
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: only time we ever think about it is when it
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: turns to 105 in Bakersfield. And when it goes out, Yeah,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: for sure. The only time we think about it.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: That is it. So when we talk about things that
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: we rely on daily, right, our cars.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: We check the tires. We check the air filter. We
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: get the oil changed. We get them washed. We do
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: all of those things. Our refrigerator, we use every day, man.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: If our refrigerator goes out, it's a panic, right? You're
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: borrowing ice chests from all your friends until one of
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: the big box stores can bring you a new refrigerator.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: We don't think about maintenancing our air conditioner, making sure
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: it's ready for the wintertime, making sure it's ready for
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: the summertime. Those things are important. Your air conditioning and
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: heating system is the largest appliance in your home, and
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: it's the most expensive.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: The most expensive.
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you take care of that at least twice
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: a year?
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let me ask you this question. Now, they
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: say if you... These cars today, as long as you
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: get the regular oil changes on, they'll last you 200,000, 300,000 miles.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: If you take care of your HVAC unit in the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: way that we talk about or you talk about, filters, cleanings,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: things like that, how long should it last you?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: A well-maintained HVAC system is going to last you 15 years.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: So the warranty on those things from the manufacturer are
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: 10 years. And that's really, you know, it's kind of,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: you know, obsolescence is manufactured into that unit. You know
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: it's going to be 10 years. You need to start
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: thinking about it.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: If you can get 15 years, 20 years out of
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: a unit, oh, my gosh.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: That's like a 100-year-old. man, you know, it's lived a great,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: great life. But a well-maintained system should last you 15 years.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Okay. So we have these blowers outside. Most houses nowadays
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: have these blowers outside and they take just a beating
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: every day in this Bakersfield heat, the dust flying around
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: the rain. I mean, they're not covered. They're just taking
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: a beating in the weather. What do we do with
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: those to maintain those that they don't... Those should be
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: looked at, right?
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: A couple of times a year? So on a split system,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: I know that's what you're talking about. The box outside
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: your home on the side of your house. There's two
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: different types of systems. There's a rooftop unit or a
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: package unit. We used to call them dual packs. That's
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: because the heating and air conditioning is all in one box.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: Those are what's up on your roof, right? And then
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: you have the split system, which is very common... In
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: homes now, right? You have that condenser on the outside.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: That's the outdoor unit. That's part of your air conditioner.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: And then up in your attic or in your garage,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: you have the other part of the air conditioner, which
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: is your coil. And then you have your furnace, which
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: contains the fan. All three of those components. Oh, the
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: fan is in your house. The blower fan is inside
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: of the furnace.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: So your air conditioner and your heater both use the
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: same fan to move air through the ductwork.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: What happens if you just turn the fan on with
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: no hot, heat, or cold?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: It's just circulating the air.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: So like this morning, right, if there's a little stuff
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: in your house, open a couple of windows and just
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: click the fan only on it. It'll suck air from
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: the outside, which the ambient temperature outside is a little cooler.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: It's going to bring some fresh air into your home.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: If you can do that on days like today, it's
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: really going to help you out once it gets 99
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: today on October 1st, Rome. 99 today on October 1st.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, they didn't teach me that in shop class in
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: high school to open a window and turn the fan
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: on in my AC to clean out my house.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: It'll just kind of just circulate that air. Moving air
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: is what we do in the air conditioning industry. We're
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: just moving air. Moving air from here to there.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: So what people don't understand is when you do that
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: in your house, it's not like just... putting a fan up.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: It's not like just putting a fan, a standing fan
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: in your house and rolling it around. This is circulating
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: your whole house.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Every room has a duct, either an intake or an outtake. Right.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: So it circulates everything. It does.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: People don't realize that.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: So it's almost like you hear about these whole house fans, right?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: And basically you have a whole house fan in your
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: home with your air conditioner. Now, If you have a return,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: which is what you called an uptake, that's where you
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: put your filters and everything like that, that's sucking in
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: the air that's currently in that room or in that space.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: The supply is going to feed either conditioned air or
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: just we're circulating air. Like I said, open a couple
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: of windows at about 645 in the morning, turn on
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: that fan, and you can really freshen up the air
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: in your home.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: All right, hold on, Steve. We've got to talk about
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: getting ready for the winter if it ever comes, okay?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: It's not at 4.1. MCOR Services Hillcrest HVAC, heating, air conditioning.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what else they do, but we'll find
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: out from Steve because he is our comfort advisor. Advisor.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: You're going to get it.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get it. Comfort Advisor.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: You're going to get it.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: It's the best title of anybody I've ever met. Okay, Steve,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: so for those of you that don't know, they do
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: heating and air conditioning, which is one of the things
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: that we're trying to get you guys to understand. about
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: it so that you can obviously save money. You can
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: be healthier. It can be more efficient. You'll be more comfortable.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: All of these things that you should want when you're
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: sitting in your house every single day. We do have
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: a winter in Bakersfield.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: How do we get prepared for that with our heating AC?
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: Well, now's the time. Now's the time. Yeah, I know
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: it's going to be 99 degrees. I mean, I knew
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: when the fair rolls into town, we're going to have
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: either a rainy day or a windy day, and then
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: it's going to be 100 degrees one day, right? And
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: now we're kind of experiencing, I mean, it's been 96 tonight,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: and then today 99, possibly 100 tomorrow and over the weekend. So,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, our winter usually hits right about Halloween. That's
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: when we really start thinking about turning on the heater.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: But now is the time to schedule that heater maintenance. So,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: first of all, so you can pick the time and
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: the date that you want. There's plenty of availability, and
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: you don't have to worry about clicking that thing on.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: In December, when you've got aunts and uncles and brothers
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: and sisters over for celebrating the holidays, you click it
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: on and nothing happens.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to ask you about that. Yeah.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: So now's the time to get it. We've got to
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: get it checked out. And really, when we're talking about
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: our heaters, what we do on the service, yeah, we're
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: going to clean out the compartment. We're going to check
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: the electronics. But it's really a safety issue. When you
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: have a gas-fired furnace, those things are like four jet
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: engines that are shooting flame into a heat exchanger. We
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: want to make sure that those things are burning properly,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: that your heat exchanger isn't damaged, rusted, cracked, or anything
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: like that. That's when we can run into some carbon
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: monoxide issues. So we want to check that out and
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: make sure everything's good. When you turn on your heater
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: for the first time or when you have it serviced
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: and you have that smell of burning dust, that's perfectly normal.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: So what has happened over the last six, eight months
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: is dust has settled onto that heat exchanger. You click
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: that heater on for the first time, and you have
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: that terrible smell. Now, that should last about 15, 20 minutes,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: maybe even a day. But if the smell or a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: smell continues, that's when you need to call or text
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: MCOR Services Hillcrest to come and get it checked out.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Now, here's how you get a hold of them. 661-335-1500
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: or mcorhillcrest.com. Obviously, you guys come in and do everything.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: When it comes to this maintenance, I want to talk
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: about maintenance real quick. Whether it be heating, whether it
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: be air conditioning, a lot of us wait till the
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: last minute. which anybody knows the last minute or problems occur,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: is more expensive. It is. So, and we've obviously, you
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: guys have been running a special, kind of a late
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: summer special, 95 bucks to come in and look at it.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: How much is the heating? What are we looking at
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: just in a range just to make sure everything's okay?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: With preventive stuff.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Preventative maintenance, $ 125. That's our regular price.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: That's not expensive at all.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: When you're on the schedule for twice a year, it's $ 125.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: If you just want to do a single service, it's
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: a little bit more expensive, but we don't make you
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: sign a contract. We don't make you commit for the
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: next three years. But the basic... Service, preventative maintenance for
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: your heater or air conditioner, $ 125. It's $ 250 a year.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: If you extrapolate that over the 12 months, I mean,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: you're paying pennies for every day, right? That's what I'm
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: trying to get across to people. It's less than an
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: oil change on your car nowadays. Right? It's less than
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: an oil change on your car. And, hey, we're going
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: to bring you a filter also.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 6: How often? How often?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: Do you get them serviced? Twice a year. To get
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: ready for the winter that's coming, regardless of how long
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: our winter is. We know it's going to get cold
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: and we're going to turn on our heater. Every six months, roughly, roughly.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: Right about the middle of football season is where I
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: tell people, hey, let's get your heater tuned up and
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: ready to go. And then right about springtime, maybe a
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: little before spring break, that's when we need to get
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: the AC serviced and making sure that thing's rocking.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: All right, MCOR, Services Hillcrest, 661-335-1500, mcorhillcrest.com. You guys, check
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: them out. Steve, hold on a second. I've got a
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: couple more questions before I get you out of here. Cool.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Steve is here from MCOR, Services Hillcrest. He's a comfort advisor,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: and he is the guy that will come out to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: your home and help you make sure you are living
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: the most comfortably possible you can with heating and air
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: and being able to breathe and all the things that
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: you have in your house. Good morning, Steve.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: A couple of things real quick.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: One is.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: The maintenance part of it. Yes. If we glossed over
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: it and you didn't hear, $ 125 twice a year.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: You're on the books for them. They're already scheduled. They
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: come out. Payment on delivery. Yep. $ 250 to maintain your
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: system a year.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: A year.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: A year.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: Before the cold, before the heat. And that really does
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: help you save on... When we do these maintenances, we're
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: checking all the systems, right? And there's some tattletales that
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: when we're checking the electronics, when we're doing the voltage
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: and all of that, the amps on all these pieces
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: of equipment, that can tell us, hey... This thing is nearing,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: you know, it could break down. Just like, think about this,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: where you can say, okay, maybe I need to budget
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: for a new blower fan motor or a new condensing
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: fan motor. And, you know, we're checking all of those things.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: So it helps you kind of anticipate a problem before
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: it happens.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: One other thing we just talked about is... I'm going
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: to buy a new home. I'm going to buy my
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: new home, whether it's older, whether it's not. Now you
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: do have home inspectors that come out. I don't know
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: how in depth a home inspector goes through the biggest
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: appliance in your house, which will cost you the most
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: if it goes out three months after you move in.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: So we can come out and do a diagnosis on
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: the system, $ 99. It usually takes about an hour, and
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: we'll go through the entire system and make sure everything
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: is functioning properly. We can give you the age of
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: that system to let you know, hey, this is, I mean,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: if it's eight years old, it's still in its life cycle.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: If it's 26 years old, something you may want to
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: budget for in.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: The near future. How many times has somebody bought a
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: home and something went wrong with the AC?
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: It happened to me. bought a house four years ago
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: it's an older home built in 1931 but i mean
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: my ac was about five and a half six years
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: old compressor went out on it yeah but you know
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: i uh and i i work for an hvac company
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: and uh just something you know these are mechanical pieces
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: so that things happen.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: But you can have people come out and look at
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: it for 100 bucks and just check it out for
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: you make sure you're secure little peace of mind um
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: let's talk about buying a new one yeah you have
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: uh if i if How do you explain it?
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: Now's the best time. If you're looking to replace your unit,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, if your unit is 15 years old or older,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: if you've been spending money on repairs for the last
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: few years, you know, a thousand bucks here, 750 bucks there,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: we're starting to, you know, get to the point where.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe replacing this unit might be more cost-effective. First of all,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: if it's more than 10 years old, it's already out
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: of warranty on the parts of that system. You get
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: a new unit, and now everything is under warranty for
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: the parts. You're still on the hook for the labor
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: to change everything out, but there's also a labor warranty
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: available when you buy a new system as well. A
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: little insurance policy to get you through the next decade.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: And, you know, you and I talked about, you know,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: with these split systems, we've got this furnace that doesn't
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: really work as hard as some furnaces across the country.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe this thing isn't ready to be replaced, but I
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: want to replace the AC side of my system. We
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: can do that. We can do that. Now, there's some
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: pros and cons to that, right? If we get a
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: whole new system, all three pieces, your heating and your
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: air conditioning, are all under warranty. And so if I
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: look at a furnace and it's hitting near that 20-year mark,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say we're going to have to change
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: the whole system. If we're 10, 12 years and you've
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: had just trouble with the A.C., that's a pretty easy
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: swap out. Now, there are some things that we have
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: to do now because of the new refrigeration that was
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: introduced earlier this year. And we have to do a
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: couple of things to make sure safety wise, everything works great.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: But that's also an option, just replacing the coil and
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: condenser instead of just and not replacing the furnace.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the things when you look at,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of us just don't have $ 20, 000
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: to replace our AC. And we want, you know, and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of us are cheap.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: Current company included.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: When you go, when you look at it, something you go, well, my,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: my furnace doesn't have the same amount of miles on
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: it as my, as my unit. And, but you guys
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: will actually come in and go, Hey, you're right. It doesn't,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: but this may go out in a couple. It may
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: be more cost effective for you to, Hey, Replace them
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: both because this is going to break down. Parts aren't
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: under warranty. It's just not the same.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, things can happen with these mechanical issues. And
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: here's the thing with M-Core Services Hillcrest, Rome. We're not
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: going to come and try to sell you just to
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: sell you. We're going to give you honest recommendations and
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: provide you with all the options. Really, Comfort Advisor is
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: question answerer. I just want to make sure that this
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: is a huge purchase.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 9: Now, if you're.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: Going to spend $ 20, 000 on an air conditioning unit, come
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: and see me because I think we can help you out. Nice!
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: We can probably make that investment a little more manageable.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, so let me ask you this. Let's say
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: I am one of those guys that just wants to
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: replace one or the other. Is it really that less
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: expensive to do that versus to just do all three pieces?
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: It really depends on the system. But yeah, you're going
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: to save a few thousand dollars. But when that furnace
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: does go out, now you're losing that because now are
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: two separate.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Jobs, right?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 6: So.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just got to weigh it out, especially if
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: you're July 17th and it's 110 degrees outside and you
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: have X amount of dollars and you just want to
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: get your air conditioner up and running again.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: I think that's a viable option.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: Gotcha.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: But like right now, there's no better time to replace
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: your unit, especially if it struggled through summer, you're seeing
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: some higher energy bills, and you spent some money on
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: repairs over the last couple of years.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: It's going to be more cost effective, and now is
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: that time.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: All right, so let me ask you one thing before
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: you get out of here. A couple of different things. One,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: if I want you just to come out and look
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: at my unit and tell me how much life it's
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: got in it to the best of your ability, you
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: can do that.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: Diagnosis, yes. $ 99. $ 99. Just to kind of just let
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: you know what's going on. As long as the unit's running.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Okay. Um, and somebody asked me about duck cleaning. Yeah.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: What's the cost of duck cleaning? It all depends on
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: how many ducks you have.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: So it usually ranges between $ 1, 500 and $ 2, 500. Now it's
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: not just a duck cleaning. We're going to clean your
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: unit as well.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: Because that coil where the air blows through it, we
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: want to make sure that that's free of dust and
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: debris as well. We also tape all your supply registers
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: to make sure there's no leakage there. And it's really
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: a full, comprehensive duct cleaning of your home.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: Now, one last thing, Steve. You can give them a
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: call at 661-335-1500. Or text.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: Or text. Or text them.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.

  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: Just don't hold me to it.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: He's a comfort advisor and a salesman. Anyway, guys, it
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: sounds like just to maintain, just to look out, just
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: to get it checked out. I mean, if someone came
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: in and told you today, For $ 100, okay, in about
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: four years, I'm guessing this unit might not... You've got
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: four years to save and plan for that. Those are
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: the things that people don't realize.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Service and diagnostics, man, that's really... Very important. And really,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: when we do a service, we're able to make recommendations
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: at that time. So servicing it, especially in the wintertime
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: when we kind of forget about it, is so important.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: So.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: Fall's the best time for maintenance. Don't wait for that
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: first cold night to turn on your heater. Replace those
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: dirty air filters. In the wintertime, indoor air quality matters, man.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: And you can save some money when winter arrives by
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: having a well-serviced unit.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: All right, Steve from M-Core Services Hillcrest. Thanks for stopping by.

• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: they've been together about three or four years, maybe four years,

• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: And guess what happened? They broke up. And she got pregnant.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: Guess who she's trying to say the father is. And

• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: he had been dating this woman, living together for four,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's been about four years, maybe a little
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: over four years. And he ended up, she ended up
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: cheating on him. And She got pregnant. So this has
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: all been over the last year. I just found out yesterday.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: But over the last year or so... Okay, so you
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: got to remember. She cheated about a year and a
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: half ago. Maybe about 18 months ago. Maybe two years ago.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe about a year and a half. And so he
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: broke up with her. She got pregnant. And it was
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: the dude she was cheating with.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 5: Damn, Well no It ended.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: Up being My boys She ended up The guy ended
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: up dumping her And claimed the baby wasn't his So
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: she had to do a paternity test And so He
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: found out A year and a half ago That she
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: got pregnant and now she's coming after him saying he's
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: the father, and technically he is the father.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 5: Well, congratulations.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's kind of a, I don't know.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: He has mixed feelings about it because it is his baby,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: but she told him it was Sancho's baby, and when
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: Sancho dumped her, he, you know, I guess they didn't
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: put a name on the birth certificate, so.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, I get you, I get you.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: So now.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. And the state they live in has different,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: you know, does it a little bit differently, apparently. So, yeah,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: she said, so they both had to take paternity tests
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: to find out whose the kid was, and it ended
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: up being my boy, so now.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 5: Wow, hey, man, still congratulations to your boy. It's just
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 5: the way he found out.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Come on, man, what would you do if you just
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: found out someone knocked on your door? Hey, by the way,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: I'm your son. I'm your daughter.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 8: I'm here.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know what I would do. Hey, all I know, Rome,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: is that would have never happened if you were a nice,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: friendly Wasco woman. It would have been much better. His
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 5: first mistake was going to Bakersfield.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: So what you're saying is, oh, no, he's not from Bakersfield.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: He doesn't even live in Bakersfield. He lives in another state.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: But what you're saying, Lou, is there ain't no hoes
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: in Wasco?
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 5: We got to find out.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: You have a Facebook page about homes in Wasco.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 5: Wasco cheese mozos.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: Not Wasco homes.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: All right, Lou. Later, man.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 8: Get out of here.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Darryl. All right, 8-4-2-5-4.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 9: 7-7.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: Like I said, man, that's your typical Bakersfield musical right there. Somebody,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: you get that paternity test and the baby is yours, right?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: How many of you guys got one? How many times
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: has that ever happened to you where somebody shows up
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: and says, oh, by the way, this is your child?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: So have you ever found out you had a kid
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: that you didn't know about? Now with this 23andMe or
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: whatever it's called, 33, what is it called where you
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: can do the find out your history test? or whatever
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: it's called. You guys will tell me what it's called.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: You find out. People find out their father might not
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: really be their father. Or you might have a kid
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: somewhere you don't even know about because, well, you don't
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: know until they show up. I have a friend who
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: won't even do it. He's been traveling around the world
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: so much that he won't even do that ancestry thing
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: because he's afraid that a kid might pop up. RD425477, yo, Rome.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what happened to me. I was
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: dating this girl in Bakersfield for a while and she
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: got pregnant. There were six guys, including me that had
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: to take a pregnancy test to find out who the
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: father was. That's how many dudes she was sleeping with.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Luckily it wasn't me who was the father. Luckily I
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: knew a girl once, um, when I, this was a
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: long time ago before I moved to Bakersfield, she was dating,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: I worked at a restaurant, she was dating two of
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: the waiters at the restaurant. I don't remember if they
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: knew about each other, but she was dating two different guys,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: got pregnant, and she chose the one, she just told
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: the one that was, she thought would be the best
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: father and the best guy to take care of her
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: and the kid. She just chose him and said he
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: was the father. So it could have been the other guys,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: but Nobody knows. And he accepted, he was excited about it.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: So he didn't, I'm sure they have a happy life now, but,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: or do, I'm sure they're fine. But yeah, they, she
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: just picked him, picked the guy she thought was going
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: to be the best suited for her and the child.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: But man, it happens. You know, how many, how many
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: of you out there think, I've had people come up
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: to me and tell me in Bakersfield that so-and-so's their baby,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: their daughter, their this, their son, and that the father
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't even know There's guys out there raising somebody else's
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: kids they don't even know. So, yeah, it's more common
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: than you think, you know. It comes. You know, Jerry
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Springer made a living.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: Out of it.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: Made a living out of you're not the father. You're
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: the father. Who was it? Sally just somebody. You know
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: those shows? Maury, Maury Povich. Maybe that's, I don't know,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: one of those shows, right? Made a living out of
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: figuring out who the baby daddy was. I've seen it
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: happen in Bakersfield. One of my boys is going through
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: it right now, found out he had a daughter after
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: being cheated on. She didn't tell him. She said it
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: was the other guys, and now he left her, and
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: so now they had to take a paternity test, found
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: out it was his. So what do you do? RD-424-7-7, yo, Rome.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: This happened to me about 25 years ago. I was
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: dating this girl, and I worked in the oil field,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: so I made real good money, Rome. And she got pregnant.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: I was okay with it, but she said she didn't
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: want to have the baby. Now, I respected her wishes,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: and I gave her the money. And 12 months later, Rome,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: I got hit with child support. She had lied to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: me about not having the baby, took the money from me,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: and then I got hit with child support. 12 months later.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: So it was just all bad Rome. But I will
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: tell you this. I love my daughter now. She's grown
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: up to be a great person. And we have a
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: great relationship. It was just kind of dirty what her
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: mom did. Wow. Jeez.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: That is kind of dirty. Especially if you were in
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: from the get-go. And you understood, but man, that's dirty. R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: But the problem is, you know, there is an issue,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: a very common issue of women lying to you or
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: to the baby daddy or, you know, some women out
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: there are just, they're just shysty, man. And they won't
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: tell you the truth until they figure out what's best
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: for them. I don't even know what's best for the child, right?
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: Is it better to not tell the real baby daddy
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: who he is or that he has a child if
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: somebody else is willing to take on the responsibility, even
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: thinking that it's their kid? I mean, I don't know. R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7. Yo,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: Romeo Springer Show. Yeah, was it Jerry Springer? Come on now,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: what's going on?
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Romeo.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up?
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 8: Man, they used to do that stuff a lot more,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 8: I guess I'd say, in the 70s, 80s and stuff. Well,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 8: I guess maybe even 90s, but.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 5: Because.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 8: You got these 40s, 30s, late 30s, early 40-year-old dudes
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 8: running around here, and they got one last name, but
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 8: their dad is somebody else's last name, and then you
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 8: come into the picture, like, trying to analyze or trying
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 8: to figure out, like, why are you in this last name, but...
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 8: You said your dad's last name was this and then
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 8: come to find out, oh, well, your mama was extra loose.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 8: And she was messing with multiple dudes. And it must
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 8: have been a collection of anybody because you claim that
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 8: you got pregnant by a smoker and he wasn't going
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 8: to be a very good dude, a very good dad.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 4: So you chose the other dude, but.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 8: Obviously, he knew that that baby wasn't his because he's
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 8: never dealt with the kid. So now the child is grown,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 8: like I said, it's a male, and he's been had kids,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 8: and he's like all.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 6: I don't know, just weird.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 8: He still has daddy issues and stuff like that, but...
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 8: It just messed up a whole situation. If you're going
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 8: to say that the kid is somebody else, keep on
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 8: with that lie.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: Take it to your grave.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 8: What you want to sit up there and tell somebody
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 8: and mess them up for because of the stupid stuff
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 8: that you did?
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you a story? And this happened years ago.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: I can't really give out too much information, but... I
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: know a guy who his dad, on his deathbed, told
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: him that it wasn't his son. And you should find
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: your real father since I'm passing away before it gets
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: too late.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 8: Oh, that was a cold one.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: That's a cold one.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 8: He should have kept that one to himself, too.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If you're going to do it, yeah,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: I agree with you on that. That could mess somebody up.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll take it further, too.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: You better check.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 8: If your mama said that you got a whole bunch
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 8: of fake uncles, oh, that's your Uncle Jimmy. That's your
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 8: Uncle Bob. That's your Uncle Jimmy.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 7: Dan.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 8: No, those are all dudes your slutty mama used to
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 8: mess with.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cold. You cold. Yeah.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 8: I'm on top today.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: There you are. All right, that's your comment.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 6: Bye.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 9: Bye.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Damn, sound like she know the game, huh? R-D-4-2-5-4, 7-7. That's, yeah, man.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: It happens a lot, man. I'm sure it happens a lot.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's up, Rome?
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 9: Hey, Ruben.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 4: Man, Rome, I got a buddy that he got cheated on, too, bro.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 4: And the girl left him, and she always called him
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: and told him he was a lowlife. He only worked minimum.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: Hours, you know.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: But, Rome, he snapped out of it, ended up doing
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: really good.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: Well, when she had the kid, she told me it
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't his.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 4: That it was the new guy's. But as soon as
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 4: she found out he was doing good, oh, Rome, she
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 4: wanted that fraternity test done and everything so she could
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 4: hit him for that child support.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: Was it his kid?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 4: It was his kid. Man, I was like, dude, like,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 4: I felt bad. I feel bad still to this day, Rome.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: The kid's probably about six, seven years old.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: Probably about eight.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 4: But I'm just like, dude, I feel bad because she's
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 4: still with homeboys, a new guy. You know what I mean?
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: And living off his child support. And, you know, he
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: makes good money now. And I think he said he
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: was paying like $ 1, 300 a month.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: Wrong.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 4: Those fools don't even work. They're living in an apartment
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: in Oildale.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: Like, you know what I mean?
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: Like a trailer apartment thing. You know what I mean?
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 4: And she went from living, you know what I mean, decent.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 4: She thought she was living really good. And now she's
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 4: in the gutter.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: But they're living off child support. Okay.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: Living off child support. You know what I mean? And
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: child support in that first of the month.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll sit back with your buddy too, Rome.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: All right. Talk to you later. I don't know. You
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: got to kind of have mixed feelings, right? If a
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: woman lies to you about, you know, not having, that
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: it's not your kid, that's different, right? You might be
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: excited about having a child. I just, I don't know. R-A-4-2-5-4-7-7-8, Rome.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: And that happened to me with that ancestry stuff. My
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: wife wanted to do it. So we did it some
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: years back and, uh, apparently I was in the system.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: Now I found out that I had a son back
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: when I was in the military, I was stationed, uh,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: back in the Carolinas. And it turns out the girl
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: I was dating, uh, got pregnant. I was, uh, I went, Oh,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: I got stationed somewhere else. And she didn't, uh, she
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: didn't tell me about the kid. Oh, she didn't. Oh,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: I see. She said she didn't have a way to come.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out how, cause the story,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: hold on.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: So she didn't tell me about the child.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: Rome.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: I am not a deadbeat. I have a great family now.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: He ended up finding me on that anxious ancestry site.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: Hit me up. He has a family of his own. Um,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, Rome, I was kind of
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: disappointed that she never told me. His mother never told
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: me that I had a child. I would have taken
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: care of him. I'm a good man. Now, Rome, we
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: have a great relationship. My current wife is okay with
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: what happened. She didn't get upset about it when we
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: found out. Now we have two more beautiful grandchildren, Rome.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: It worked out great for us. It's just sad that
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: some of these women do that to men like me. Well, okay.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: Trying to find out who the daddy is, right? Man.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: Some of these women, man, when it comes to being
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: taken care of, they pick the right guy, whether it's
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: his kid or not. Good morning, Rob. What's going on?
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Romeo.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 9: Oh, my bad.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Romeo.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. What's going on with you?
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 8: I got a story for you.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, what happened?
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 8: I got a relative that essentially got with a girl.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 8: The girl supposedly got pregnant. So he married her. He's
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 8: a good dude. And come to find after she had
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 8: the baby, baby might have been a year old or so.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 8: The relationship started to break down. They kind of like
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 8: separated ways, started messing with other people. So the dad's
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 8: new girlfriend had a suspicion that that baby wasn't his.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 8: So she secretly DNA tested the baby and found out
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 8: that it wasn't even her boyfriend's baby, right? So told him,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 8: but mind you, When she tells the dad, the dad immediately, like,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 8: bangs on the baby mama, like, why would you do that?
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 8: You must knew, and all this other stuff. So, they
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 8: file for divorce. He has to pay child support for
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 8: this kid, being that he signed the birth certificate and stuff.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 8: And she was trying to get him for spousal support. Now, it... Now,
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 8: here's the clincher. Some years go by, they both mess
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 8: with other people. She winds up having two other kids,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 8: I believe, by somebody else's husband. And then, now this
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 8: is the clincher. Then, all of a sudden.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 7: We start seeing the one that said that had a
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 7: baby by somebody else and the relative, they start hanging
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 7: out together.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 8: He wound up proposing to the broad again. And had
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 8: a big old wedding. And we was wondering, what is
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 8: wrong with you? So did he find his forever love
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 8: or did he find... Somebody to forever screw him.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 8: You let me know.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: That's wild. That sounds like an after, Bakersfield after school
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: special right there.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 8: You just don't know. We sit here looking at it
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 8: transpired like.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 6: You've got to be kidding me.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: You've got to be kidding.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: But some of these chicks out there, man, are just,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: when it comes to being pregnant and who the daddy is, man,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: they are, it's like survival of the fittest. I mean,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: they got to do, they will survive, man.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 8: I get that, but you do that type of stuff
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 8: like when you sit there messing with an NFL player
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 8: or something that you're trying to hold on to because
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 8: he's got some looming. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 6: He could possibly change your life.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 8: Take care of that baby. These dudes, man, they still
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 8: live with their mama or they got a pizza job
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 8: and got 15 other kids. What are they going to
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 8: do for you?
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm going to tell you like this. A friend
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: of mine, she told me the other day, she said,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: Ho's going to survive. Ho's going to eat no matter what.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 8: Man, you ain't lying. A girl can eat.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 5: She's a big.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 8: Girl, baby. She's eating.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: Romeo in the morning.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 8: Every morning.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: On Hot 94.1.
