  And we're live. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
• 0:04
  Episode #11. Pull that thing back just a
• 0:06
  little bit. There you go.
• 0:10
  Too far. That is badass, dude.
• 0:17
  I have that stuff laying all over my table here.
• 0:20
  I need to do that start to put it, clean it up
• 0:35
  and that would. Be That's the world according to
• 0:36
  Nemesis right there, boys and girls.
• 0:39
  Yes, Sir. It's hard to get it without a
• 0:42
  glare. Yeah.
• 0:43
  So the color pictures come in good.
• 0:45
  Stage performing from playing one of our many badass songs.
• 0:51
  And there's William Richard Carr, the third on base.
• 0:56
  And I know I can't tell what's down there.
• 0:58
  What the? Down there, we're going to try
• 1:00
  to get him on the podcast. That'll be fun.
• 1:05
  So questions for those that I'm a real #11 episode #11.
• 1:16
  Robert Rhodes, who's Robert Rose?
• 1:17
  Somebody named Robert Rhodes is calling me.
• 1:19
  I'm going to send him a message. Uh, it's currently with clients.
• 1:23
  I'll call you back soon. So the fun thing about what I do
• 1:28
  your friendly neighborhood real estate guy and I just had a dude
• 1:34
  call me because he googled Realtors in Phoenix, AZ.
• 1:42
  I list I was listed #4, but I was the only one that answered
• 1:47
  my phone. So then you became #1.
• 1:54
  So Robert Nunez is going to be working with me.
• 1:57
  And what's weird is I just missed a call from Robert
• 1:59
  Rhodes, and Robert Rhodes was already in my phone, so I'll
• 2:03
  have to follow up with him when we're done.
• 2:07
  Right on. But yeah, so I answer my phone.
• 2:10
  And I've done that for years, and I've always kind of tell
• 2:13
  people that I don't know how many people I've stolen from
• 2:16
  other Realtors just because I answer my phone.
• 2:19
  It's a crazy thing. Just answer your phone.
• 2:20
  No, no. You Realtors out there, don't
• 2:23
  answer your phone. Never answer your phone at all.
• 2:26
  I'll answer my phone and I'll take care of everybody.
• 2:28
  A. 100%, I was going to say you didn't steal them because you're
• 2:35
  the one that actually picked up the phone.
• 2:36
  Had they picked up the phone, they would have had that client.
• 2:39
  Right, right. So.
• 2:41
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I will attest, he always
• 2:44
  answers his phone going back 252728 years.
• 2:49
  Even before there were cell phones, he answered his phone.
• 2:51
  Hello, Even before there were cell phones and I had, I had
• 2:57
  true story, one of my voice. You know member of Answering
• 3:00
  machines, right? Oh yeah.
• 3:02
  So you remember the show The Rockford Files?
• 3:05
  Of course I do. OK, so I had an outgoing message
• 3:07
  for a while that was, hi, this is Jim Rockford.
• 3:12
  My father-in-law called at one time and he kept hanging up.
• 3:15
  And so finally Nikki answered. He's like, what is that Jim
• 3:17
  Rockford stuff? He's like, that's Chris, you
• 3:21
  know, Jim. Rockford Mine always said you
• 3:24
  might even remember what you mine always said I was out doing
• 3:28
  something constructive for the band.
• 3:33
  I I think, yeah, probably, probably.
• 3:36
  It was something to that. Degree.
• 3:38
  Oh yeah. Remember that?
• 3:41
  Yeah. I had a.
• 3:43
  So there you go. So last week we were talking and
• 3:45
  I got cut. Go ahead.
• 3:49
  You had a what? Well, this might lead into what
• 3:52
  you were going to say. I was going to say I had AI.
• 3:57
  Don't know. We'll just call it what it is.
• 3:59
  I had a one night stand with a girl that somehow got a hold of
• 4:02
  my phone number and she stalked my answering machine for about 6
• 4:06
  weeks every day. I was afraid to go to sleep at
• 4:11
  night for a while. Oh yeah.
• 4:14
  Yeah, not long before I met. You.
• 4:16
  How does she stalk your answering machine?
• 4:19
  Because the crazy bitch must have The crazy bitch must have
• 4:23
  stole my phone number while I was sleeping off my phone.
• 4:26
  Remember your phone used to be or your number used to be
• 4:28
  written on your phone like or your answering machine, or your
• 4:33
  handheld. Necessarily Wouldn't forget it,
• 4:35
  Yeah. Right, Yeah.
• 4:38
  We had a tendency to forget things back then.
• 4:40
  So she must have actually wrote it down while I was sleeping and
• 4:44
  started, you know, I dropped her off and I was like, that's the
• 4:47
  end of that. We did what we were going to do
• 4:49
  and we're never going to talk again because you're kind of
• 4:51
  psychotic. Well, I found out just how
• 4:53
  psychotic she was because every day I would come home and
• 4:55
  there'd be like 9 messages on my answering machine, like
• 4:59
  basically saying everything. But I want to have your baby.
• 5:03
  Yeah. Wow.
• 5:05
  Yeah, crazy people. Dodged a bullet there, Mikey.
• 5:10
  Yeah, I'm thinking so, so yeah, you were saying last week we
• 5:16
  were talking about. Right on so, so well last week,
• 5:20
  last week we were talking and and unfortunately I had to cut
• 5:23
  it short because you know I had some dirt being delivered and
• 5:28
  it. Was all good.
• 5:29
  But I was enjoying that conversation because it was.
• 5:33
  I think it was probably one of the most real conversations
• 5:35
  we've had on the show. So.
• 5:39
  Especially since we were touching on on relationship.
• 5:41
  I got a lot of feedback. Success and and lack of success
• 5:44
  and yeah. Yeah, I did get a lot, lot of
• 5:47
  feedback in that same general direction.
• 5:50
  That said, they enjoyed the realness, the realism, you know,
• 5:56
  Just very good banter, I guess. Yeah, being being, Yeah, Yeah.
• 6:03
  Being real, raw and relevant. It's, it's.
• 6:06
  It's. I like the real RAW and
• 6:07
  relevant. Conversations flow better when.
• 6:10
  Yeah. And.
• 6:11
  And that's not mine. It's that I have to give credit
• 6:14
  to where credit's due. It's from.
• 6:15
  It's from Wake Up Warrior. I think I did.
• 6:18
  It is very basically. I like things that are concise
• 6:21
  and to the point like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:26
  There, yeah. The other, the other thing that
• 6:28
  I learned in Warrior was the the core values, which is body being
• 6:32
  balanced and business. And that kind of falls into what
• 6:34
  we were talking about last week because body is how you take
• 6:36
  care of your body. Your body is your one and only
• 6:38
  body. Balance is the relationship you
• 6:41
  have within your your familial structure, whatever that may be
• 6:46
  like with you, it's your parents and your siblings.
• 6:48
  With me it's it's Nikki and the kids and and the grandbabies and
• 6:52
  and Michael Fry, Junior Sky's fiance.
• 6:55
  And then you know obviously Nikki's father or Nikki's
• 6:58
  father, my father-in-law because so that's kind of the balance
• 7:01
  side of it being is your whatever you you deem as your
• 7:06
  spirituality which we've talked about a few Times Now on the
• 7:09
  Chris and Mike show shale flash plug, it's so.
• 7:13
  So being is just whatever that relationship is, right?
• 7:16
  Some people have to have that full blown, you know, go to
• 7:19
  church every Sunday, you know, tie is 10% and say all the
• 7:24
  prayers that you know every night before you go to bed.
• 7:27
  You know, I know people that wake up, you know, read the
• 7:29
  Bible when they get up and then they pray.
• 7:31
  And if that. Thanking God for waking up.
• 7:32
  I'm like. Dude, if that helps them be the
• 7:35
  person that I try to be every day, which is I try to be nice
• 7:38
  to people. I try not to go out of my way to
• 7:40
  be mean to people. And I we're going to touch on
• 7:43
  the subject a little bit later. But if that helps them be that
• 7:48
  kind of person, then great. But I've run into too many
• 7:51
  people that sit in that front row at church on Sunday and then
• 7:54
  do the polar opposite the other 99.9% of their life, right?
• 8:01
  Right. And those, yeah, those we call
• 8:04
  lukewarm, if you know whole Christian terminology that's
• 8:08
  it's lukewarm like you. Can't or I just go right to the
• 8:11
  source hypocrite? Bible tote.
• 8:13
  Yeah, that too. You know, it's do as I say, not
• 8:18
  as I do type thing, right. Like you can live your life, but
• 8:20
  just don't, don't don't use me as example because I'm not the
• 8:23
  right example. But I'm going to tell you how to
• 8:25
  live because that's my role in your life.
• 8:27
  But don't follow me around, because you're not going to see
• 8:30
  me live in the same way that you want me to live, you know?
• 8:33
  Gandhi said it. Best, yeah.
• 8:37
  What do you say? So Gandhi's quote was I like
• 8:41
  your Christ. OK, so Gandhi says I like your
• 8:45
  Christ. I do not like your Christians
• 8:47
  because they are so unlike your Christ.
• 8:49
  He basically said very nicely what you just.
• 8:53
  Said. They learn what they're supposed
• 8:56
  to do, but they don't practice it in any way shape or form.
• 9:04
  Right, that's good. That's brilliant.
• 9:07
  I don't want to totally bash Christy ever.
• 9:09
  Seen the movie? We're on a good.
• 9:11
  I have not. No, we're not.
• 9:12
  We're not. We're not.
• 9:13
  Because I'm going to, I'm going to segue this.
• 9:15
  I'm going to segue this in the movies.
• 9:16
  You've never seen Leap of Faith. I don't think I have to be
• 9:19
  honest with you. OK, Steve Martin, Liam Neeson.
• 9:24
  Deborah Winger. The late great meatloaf.
• 9:29
  Man, I can't believe it was. If I did, I was inebriated.
• 9:35
  OK. Basically we'll we'll we'll
• 9:38
  we'll read the the buyout the the Wikipedia version it's it's
• 9:41
  set in 1992 at America I was. Putting Nemesis together in
• 9:47
  1992, I was busy. I don't.
• 9:51
  I don't. I don't think I saw it in 92.
• 9:54
  No, no, no, no, no. I don't think I saw it in 92.
• 9:56
  This is stuff I've watched later in life.
• 9:57
  But anyway, Long story short, he plays this guy named Jonas
• 10:00
  Nightingale. And and and they break down in a
• 10:04
  small ass town in Kansas that's you know drought ridden and all
• 10:08
  that kind of jazz and I mean all the fake, all the fake, you
• 10:11
  know, apostle preachers, you know tent stuff where he goes
• 10:16
  and and you know makes makes the statue.
• 10:18
  You know, he's got the statue behind the behind the curtain
• 10:22
  thing behind this pulpit, right in this stage.
• 10:27
  It's very theatrical like you would you would dig it because
• 10:29
  they have ear pieces in and as so many people come in and they
• 10:32
  start talking about, oh, you know, little Johnny can't walk
• 10:35
  and you know, Dave's suffering from from arthritis.
• 10:38
  And then so he uses all that knowledge through the headpiece
• 10:41
  communication throughout the little group of people and he
• 10:45
  and he basically fucks with their minds, right.
• 10:48
  It's like oh, Mike, you're suffering from bronchitis.
• 10:51
  So, you know I laid my hands on your chest, boom.
• 10:54
  You know all of a sudden, oh, I'm, I'm free of bronchitis, you
• 10:57
  know. So it's a really cool look at it
• 11:00
  that way, right. And it's and it's a really cool
• 11:03
  look at at the theatrical part of of those type of preachers
• 11:11
  that they're really, let's be honest, they're all grabbing.
• 11:14
  It's money grabbing. It's it's you.
• 11:16
  Know they're con men. It's that.
• 11:17
  Whole concept that you don't want to go to heaven, right?
• 11:20
  You want to go to heaven. You got to buy your way in,
• 11:22
  that's you know. I could never figure out why.
• 11:25
  God. No.
• 11:29
  And I've always, I've always liked Bono, right, Bono from you
• 11:35
  two, I think it was. I think it was during Rattle Hum
• 11:38
  when they did the the filming of Rattle Hum that before.
• 11:43
  I think before silver and gold or during silver and gold.
• 11:45
  I think he says the God I believe in isn't short of cash.
• 11:48
  Mr. Correct I I love that because it's so true.
• 11:52
  It's it's just right. You don't you don't you don't
• 11:58
  have to pay for salvation. I just, I've never understood
• 12:01
  that bizarre concept. But you know, mankind on a whole
• 12:06
  is weak and they need to be LED for the most part, and
• 12:10
  everybody's LED in some direction, wouldn't you agree?
• 12:13
  Agreed. Yeah, we all are.
• 12:16
  We all are. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:19
  Music keeps. Me sane have.
• 12:20
  To be, you know. From if going to church keeps
• 12:22
  them sane, then great, I I have nothing against it.
• 12:25
  You know, I've been through many phases in my life and I've been
• 12:28
  married to so many different ideas that, you know, I just
• 12:33
  came to the conclusion that I'm going to do what I have to do to
• 12:37
  be a good person every day. And I'm going to try not to
• 12:40
  intentionally hurt anyone. And it's not my business to
• 12:44
  police the world or care about what anybody else does.
• 12:47
  I always go by the mantra that I don't give a shit what you're
• 12:52
  doing at all. You can do whatever you want.
• 12:54
  You know, you're also an adult. You're free.
• 12:58
  When you care about what I'm doing, then we have an issue.
• 13:01
  I'm not going to be the same person you came to know and
• 13:03
  love, right? You're going to see a different
• 13:06
  mic, right? I don't like to be that guy.
• 13:08
  Especially if their judgment, especially if judgment comes
• 13:10
  along with that. Right.
• 13:12
  Oh, yeah. Then they're going to find out
• 13:13
  I'm smarter than they thought I was, finger pointing.
• 13:16
  Right, right. Oh, yeah.
• 13:19
  Well, yeah. And some people out there just
• 13:20
  want to pick fights, man. Like, I, I, I, I made some
• 13:23
  comments this week and I'm a Giants fan, New York Football
• 13:26
  Giants, who absolutely suck ass. But you know, it is what it is.
• 13:29
  But I made a couple comments on social media about about hey
• 13:34
  sake, no, but more about hay sake, How?
• 13:36
  How Saquan Barkley, he's inconsistent.
• 13:39
  He's not. He's not as good as he was when
• 13:42
  he got in the league. He's only been in the league
• 13:44
  four or five years, right? He's only been in the league
• 13:46
  four or five years because of injuries that slowed him down.
• 13:48
  He doesn't have the breakaway speed.
• 13:49
  He doesn't have the the, the Barry Sanders cutting ability
• 13:52
  like he used to have. But as we all know some football
• 13:58
  fans are so freaking just plastic man and they have paper
• 14:05
  mache for skin and they just they're just waiting for
• 14:08
  somebody to to say 1 little thing so they can start picking
• 14:12
  a fight. And it's so I just I I just I
• 14:15
  always say and when I when I respond to something or when
• 14:19
  somebody tries to bait me, I'm like look man, life's too short
• 14:22
  for you to bait me into a battle.
• 14:24
  This is my opinion. If you don't like it go read
• 14:27
  somebody else's response. But I'm not changing what I said
• 14:31
  because Barkley is a human being.
• 14:33
  From what I've seen, I don't know the man, but from what I've
• 14:36
  seen and heard and watched, he's a stellar human man.
• 14:39
  He does lots of things for the community.
• 14:41
  He's got a good heart, but he just isn't the football player
• 14:44
  he was. So in my mind he's not worth $15
• 14:47
  million this this season that he played because he there's so.
• 14:50
  Many I was just getting ready to say because.
• 14:53
  And. He could.
• 14:54
  That is. That's what he's getting paid to
• 14:56
  do. Go ahead.
• 14:57
  If if you don't clothes on a house and the people lose the
• 15:02
  house, they're not going to hire you as a realtor again.
• 15:06
  They count on you to do what you're supposed to do to make
• 15:08
  sure they don't lose that sale. He's supposed to go out there on
• 15:11
  4th and one and be able to run 3 feet, right?
• 15:15
  That's what he gets paid to do. I agree with you.
• 15:17
  These people are amazing. Human.
• 15:19
  Beings. For the most part, yes.
• 15:21
  Just fall forward. You're 6 foot 4 or whatever.
• 15:25
  I agree with you. They're athletes for the most
• 15:27
  part are amazing human beings. I just met Rob Sims from the
• 15:31
  Detroit Lions. He he played for the Seahawks
• 15:35
  and then he got traded to the Lions.
• 15:37
  He runs one of the dispensaries up in Michigan with Megatron.
• 15:41
  Calvin Johnson did did not get to meet Calvin.
• 15:44
  Could have the next time. Yeah.
• 15:47
  Oh yeah. So hopefully he'll be there the
• 15:51
  next time we head up there on one of those meet and greets.
• 15:54
  But Rob Sims was just so kind and nice.
• 15:59
  And, you know, I mean, he wasn't a huge name.
• 16:02
  But the people that have told me about when Megatron's there,
• 16:07
  they said he's just as open and we'll take pictures, sign
• 16:11
  autographs, talk about his product.
• 16:13
  You know, they have not only the marijuana part of it, but they
• 16:17
  also have they also have a whole CBD line of sports medicine
• 16:24
  there. It's more like hydration stuff,
• 16:27
  you know, kind of like a body armor.
• 16:29
  But their claim to fame is they have, you know, no sugar and no
• 16:32
  bad thing. It's all natural stuff in there.
• 16:35
  So anyway, I agree with your point.
• 16:38
  Not to go off on a fucking tangent, but Jesus, no, no.
• 16:42
  The athletes for the most part, are amazing human beings.
• 16:45
  We. Do.
• 16:46
  But when they suck at their job on the football field, there's
• 16:49
  nothing wrong with calling them out.
• 16:51
  And I absolutely adore these people who just are so
• 16:55
  passionate that they're going to try and ruin your day, which
• 16:58
  will never happen because they don't understand how our brains
• 17:01
  operate. Yeah, trolls on the Internet are
• 17:04
  just such adorable people. They would never say.
• 17:10
  That one thing that I always I'm very mindful, no.
• 17:14
  And I'm very mindful when I make any comments about the Giants or
• 17:18
  the Diamondbacks 'cause I like Diamondbacks baseball, even
• 17:21
  though they suck ass. Except for this one year.
• 17:24
  I always say they like. Like they shouldn't have paid
• 17:27
  him $15 million a year. Because at the end of the day,
• 17:32
  the crucial moments are what they need him for now.
• 17:35
  Did he have a good year in general?
• 17:36
  Yeah, he almost 1000 yards rushing.
• 17:38
  He's a great out of the back field receiver.
• 17:42
  But there's there's I'm not the coach.
• 17:46
  I'm not the owner. I know I don't have anything to
• 17:51
  do with the team aside from being a fan.
• 17:52
  So I everybody should hear this. You're not playing for the team
• 17:57
  that you're rooting for. You have no vested interest.
• 18:00
  You're not paying salaries. You're not paying.
• 18:03
  You're not invested in the the stadium and and and all the
• 18:07
  daily costs in and out like you don't have that.
• 18:10
  You're a fan sitting at home watching on TV, or if you're
• 18:14
  lucky enough, you have season tickets and you go to every game
• 18:16
  and you're die hard fan. You're a fan, correct?
• 18:20
  You don't own the team, You don't have ownership in it.
• 18:23
  Unless you're the Green Bay Packers.
• 18:24
  It's not Christian if you live. In Green Bay.
• 18:27
  Right. It's not exactly.
• 18:30
  That's the exception to the rule.
• 18:31
  Those fans can be straight up fucking assholes if they want.
• 18:34
  If their team's not producing the product, they even though
• 18:38
  it's micro, you know, right. Even though it's a tiny bit of
• 18:42
  that, of that dollar, right? But they still have ownership in
• 18:45
  that. And I own $1500 and I feel like
• 18:48
  I have an. Opinion and I'll right.
• 18:53
  That's it. And you can have that opinion,
• 18:57
  but you are not you're you're you're glorified couch potato.
• 19:00
  And it blows my mind and I get that someone gets so pissed off
• 19:03
  when I I simply state that he's he's not been playing as good as
• 19:08
  he was his rookie year. And then I had somebody come
• 19:11
  back and say, well, the years that he wasn't hurt, what year
• 19:14
  wasn't he hurt? He was hurt every year.
• 19:17
  Running backs is the most punishing position on a football
• 19:20
  field, so they're always going to get lit up, they're always
• 19:23
  going to get hurt, they're always going to get damaged,
• 19:25
  they're always going to get broken and bruised.
• 19:26
  And because they get pounded every single play, we have 11
• 19:30
  other guys trying to knock your head off, right?
• 19:36
  Yeah, there was over 50 starting quarterbacks in the NFL this
• 19:40
  year. Wrap your head around that.
• 19:43
  There was over 50 starting quarterbacks in 17 games.
• 19:48
  Actually, it was less than 7. Yeah.
• 19:51
  Yes, they did. They had one of our Illinois
• 19:53
  boys that DeVito for a while. Yeah, he played University of
• 19:58
  Illinois. Tommy Cutlets.
• 20:01
  So then, did he get hurt too? Is that why you ended up?
• 20:04
  Elevated. Well, now what happened was he
• 20:09
  had a bad game so so he benched him.
• 20:12
  So instead of it's kind of like this is this is you.
• 20:15
  This is an easy way to to relate to this music, right?
• 20:19
  I relate to music. You don't need anybody to put
• 20:21
  music on anymore, correct? We can do it ourselves.
• 20:23
  We can write it on music, we can, we can distribute on music,
• 20:26
  we can put it on all the social media aspect, put them all the
• 20:29
  online platforms, Apple, Spotify, blah blah blah blah
• 20:32
  blah blah blah. We're doing it right now.
• 20:34
  It's the same, right? Right.
• 20:38
  So you don't need anybody to develop you anymore.
• 20:42
  You don't need anybody going behind you and do this.
• 20:44
  But on the football field, if you see a guy that comes off the
• 20:49
  bench, which DeVito did, he elevated the play, not so much
• 20:55
  the the what's the word. He made everybody around him
• 21:01
  more excited to play and had a lot more engagement.
• 21:05
  And excitement. Hey, tell him to accept my
• 21:07
  Facebook friend request. I thought we were friends.
• 21:11
  Hey, Mike says accept accept his Facebook friend request.
• 21:15
  I'm being he did. I feel he did OK, I was feeling
• 21:18
  dissed, man. I swear I did.

  So I don't know. I don't have a memory.
• 27:06
  So Tanya, make sure you you you watch this episode that's coming
• 27:09
  up because because because we're going to have the top 11, uh
• 27:12
  sandwiches, you know that people should be at some point in time
• 27:17
  in their life. You know I got to figure out how
• 27:20
  to do it to where I can I can capture the this.
• 27:23
  Audio. At the same time as this screen,
• 27:29
  I was just thinking it'd be kind of cool for people to see, well,
• 27:31
  you could do the same thing, but it would be kind of weird.
• 27:34
  So I'm going to go though Tanya. It's nice to see you make sure
• 27:37
  you get Mike's shit tomorrow at work because you know, he's
• 27:40
  like, which. How do I use that?
• 27:42
  You just said Tanya. Mike under the bus.
• 27:45
  No, there's no bus. You know how many Tanyas there
• 27:47
  are in the world. She's going to give you shits, I
• 27:51
  said Her whole name. Not till Lawson.
• 27:55
  Hobart. Not till after I asked which
• 27:58
  Tanya? Yeah, this is true.
• 28:01
  This is true. He did ask which Tanya before I
• 28:04
  told him your entire name, so I'll give him that.
• 28:07
  I think there's more than one Tanya on our friends list.
• 28:09
  You have a great day, Tanya. Oh, yeah.
• 28:13
  You know. Oh, there's Ted.
• 28:14

  Hi Ted. Because he says you work
• 28:24

• 28:58
  Tanya man. I'd That's a common name.
• 29:01
  I know, I know. It's all good.
• 29:03
  You know, if you had said Rosalie Tanya, I don't know too
• 29:08
  many Rosalie's, that would have narrowed it down quickly.
• 29:11
  Rosalie A whole lot of Rosie from from Ace and Easy.
• 29:16
  Like, I'm doing a podcast with you and my brother-in-law is
• 29:19
  also Chris, so I have to define who I'm talking about, right?
• 29:25
  Oh yes, you do. OK, so.
• 29:30
  I'm going to get shit anyway, so it just.
• 29:31
  Dropped on our pay, you are going to get shipping.
• 29:34
  It's fun. It is.
• 29:37
  You got to be able to take it. Working in a factory, man.
• 29:39
  People bust your ass all the time.
• 29:43
  Balls. Whatever you want to call it.
• 29:47
  Yep. OK.
• 29:48
  So yeah, go to the show. Go to the show.
• 29:53
  Oh, maybe it's got to upload. Oh, there it is.
• 29:56
  Yeah. Behind the scenes.
• 30:00
  There you go. Behind the scenes with Crystal
• 30:02
  Mike, right. That's when Jake came in and and
• 30:06
  stole the Thunder. They stole the Thunder from down
• 30:09
  under. Oh, that's the mirror.
• 30:11
  Well, there you go. Everybody really dug his
• 30:14
  episode. So I wanted to tell him thank
• 30:16
  you again and that he's welcome back anytime.
• 30:21
  I did touch base with Tony Palmer and as soon as I get on
• 30:29
  you Internet, we will be doing the podcast with him because I
• 30:33
  want to be able to not have any kind of delay at all.
• 30:37
  He's going to be a super interesting guest.
• 30:41
  I'll give everybody a sneak peek.
• 30:43
  One of the tidbits that he told me was he ran sound for Ted
• 30:49
  Nugent at the Texas Jam. And if you look up the Texas
• 30:54
  Jam, I think it took place in about 78.
• 30:57
  I don't, I don't want to quote the date.
• 30:59
  I I believe he said it was in the late 70s.
• 31:01
  There was like 80,000 people at this gig.
• 31:04
  And then once they got done with that, he took Ted on his first
• 31:08
  Wild boar hunt in Taos, NM. So this is the caliber of been
• 31:13
  there, done that kind of been in the music business guy, this
• 31:16
  guy. Is so this is the guy.
• 31:19
  So this is the guy then that turned Ted on to wild boar
• 31:24
  hunting? Yes, 100%.
• 31:27
  It was his first wild boar hunt, right?
• 31:30
  That's pretty that's pretty cool to say about.
• 31:33
  I I think the end of my statement was that's the kind of
• 31:36
  caliber guest we're bringing on here for the listeners to be
• 31:40
  entertained with. And he will be able to tell you
• 31:43
  stories like that for as long as we'll have him.
• 31:46
  So I'm super excited about having him.
• 31:49
  He's a very nice guy. He's been more than generous
• 31:52
  with this time, kind of educating me as to what he's
• 31:59
  done and not done and. Yeah.
• 32:03
  Looking forward to it, just so everybody knows that's coming up
• 32:05
  as soon as Mike can get some fiber optic Internet.
• 32:11
  That's that's good because you know, we're not very
• 32:13
  entertaining, so I need somebody like Tony to entertain everyone.
• 32:17
  Actually, I got more compliments on us being funny and
• 32:22
  entertaining that I had anticipated more you being funny
• 32:25
  than me. Because, you know, I'm just me,
• 32:27
  but I'm funny in spite of myself sometimes.
• 32:33
  Well, you can't. You can't.
• 32:34
  Yeah, but that's the thing. You can't.
• 32:36
  You know it's kind of like when I had when I was on iHeartRadio,
• 32:39
  I that show wouldn't have been as good had I didn't have my my
• 32:43
  Co host Margie bouncing off of every stupid thing I said.
• 32:49
  You know that's just, yeah, you got to have two.
• 32:51
  It's like, you know, well, I told Stern would be Howard Stern
• 32:54
  that Robin quivers, even though Howard Stern, you know.
• 32:58
  I told Jake that was you know, there was a million reasons I
• 33:02
  chose you to do this with but that was one of the biggest
• 33:06
  deciding factors was I love people that make me laugh, man.
• 33:09
  And you know, you've always made me laugh and we don't argue.
• 33:15
  And that's a big one. So those are the two big ones,
• 33:17
  is I like people that make me laugh and I like people that I
• 33:20
  can have a deep, serious conversation with that I know is
• 33:23
  not going to get offended and breakdown.
• 33:27
  And you know, you and I don't have walls.
• 33:31
  So, you know, there's no limitations as to what we can
• 33:34
  talk about. And there's very few people that
• 33:36
  I've met in my life that I've been able to go that far with,
• 33:39
  where I understand, you know, there are no limitations as
• 33:43
  subjects go. And got to be careful, man.
• 33:46
  People got feelings. Well it's the paper mache skin
• 33:53
  you know and here's here's, here's a fun little thing that
• 33:56
  that another you know squirrel, squirrel, squirrel today marks
• 34:00
  my it's my monthly sober date. So every month I have a sober
• 34:03
  date and then once a year I have my sober year.
• 34:06
  Well, I'm I'm now January 9th, the 9th of the month is my sober
• 34:10
  day. And then next February this,
• 34:13
  this next month will be my 19th year.
• 34:17
  Congratulations. I'm surprised Budweiser and Jack
• 34:19
  Daniels are still in business. Personally.
• 34:21
  Thank you. Why you congratulate me next
• 34:22
  month? I just my chip.
• 34:24
  I always have my chip with me because anytime I I go anywhere
• 34:28
  that's like Nick and I'll go dancing.
• 34:30
  And we go to a bar. When we do that, because it's
• 34:32
  country dancing, I always have my chip with me in my pocket.
• 34:36
  See now the listeners out there will be like stick.
• 34:38
  Your hand in your pocket. Fiddle with the chip.
• 34:40
  The listeners will be like see that was a Dick move of Mike
• 34:44
  because I thought about it as I just did it to drink my beer
• 34:47
  while he held his A a chip up. But that doesn't offend Chris
• 34:50
  because he's the he knows he has the problem not me.
• 34:53
  That's that's where we're at in life folks.
• 34:55
  I wouldn't even think about it other than I want to tell the
• 34:58
  people that where him and I are at he if he could do cocaine on
• 35:04
  occasion, I wouldn't care if he did a line of cocaine in front
• 35:07
  of me. But I can't do that because I
• 35:09
  will do it for the rest of my life or at least the next five
• 35:12
  years. So I just don't do it, you know?
• 35:16
  That's how that's how Kevin Dubrow died.
• 35:20
  Yes, Yeah, I'm surprised I did, you know.
• 35:23
  Yeah, that's kind of. And we'll we'll go down those
• 35:26
  roads as we go along with this. Well, there's nights where you
• 35:32
  feel like you're just not. Surprised.
• 35:34
  Fucking chest. It's amazing anybody lifts.
• 35:38
  Through right. But I'm just I'm just surprised
• 35:40
  that that right but I'm just it just blew my mind that because
• 35:43
  he didn't he died recently last 5-6 years I think.
• 35:46
  So it just kind of surprised me when they said his cause of
• 35:48
  death was cocaine overdose, of all the things out there in the
• 35:51
  world. It was longer ago than that.
• 35:53
  Hold on. I'm yeah, I'm Googling it too
• 35:58
  2007. Oh, all right. 2007 Yeah, yeah,
• 36:03
  yeah. He was found dead in his Vegas
• 36:05
  home and. Oh, you mean to still have been
• 36:12
  doing it? OK.
• 36:15
  Do cocaine. Yeah, like.
• 36:17
  Yeah, I yeah, I finally just caught up with you.
• 36:19
  Fatal overdose. Oh, I'm sorry.
• 36:21
  Fatal. No.
• 36:23
  Here, here it was, though. It's a it was a fatal overdose
• 36:25
  of a combination of cocaine, painkillers and alcohol.
• 36:31
  Oh, so he was. Speedballing.
• 36:33
  Overly overly self medicating, right?
• 36:37
  Yes, been there, done that too. Woo.
• 36:39
  Hoo, yeah. Which is which is insane.
• 36:44
  Yeah, I've done it many times. He'd never been married and had
• 36:48
  had no children, so his legacy died with him.
• 36:51
  That's surprising. He was dead at the time of his
• 36:55
  death. He was estimated to be worth
• 36:57
  around $10 million and with no errors.
• 37:00
  I wonder where that means that money went.
• 37:02
  Right to the state. Yeah, well, you only need one.
• 37:12
  You only need one successful one hit wonder.
• 37:15
  That's why they call them, one hit wonders.
• 37:17
  Oh. Yeah, you live your whole life
• 37:19
  off that. Their metal health album sold
• 37:22
  just millions and millions. It it probably went diamond.
• 37:25
  I I bet it sold over 10 million copies because I owned it.
• 37:30
  Everybody owned it in 1983 or 4, whenever that came.
• 37:33
  Out. Yeah, I did too.
• 37:35
  It was on every ghetto blaster in America.
• 37:38
  Yeah. Look up when metal health came
• 37:40
  out. It was their third.
• 37:42
  Their third. Yeah, it was their third album
• 37:45
  ever released, March 11th of 1983.
• 37:49
  Same year pyromania came out, by the way.
• 37:52
  Come on. All right on.
• 37:55
  Yeah, come on. Illinois Mental Health, We're
• 38:00
  just trying to see. It was the first heavy metal
• 38:02
  album to ever reach #1, which we knew.
• 38:05
  It replaced The Police's Synchronicity, which was a good
• 38:07
  album in November of 83. Due to its commercial success,
• 38:11
  is regarded as as by some as the catalyst that opened the door
• 38:16
  for hair metals immense popularity through the next
• 38:18
  several years. So I could see that it ended
• 38:22
  going six times platinum. So what's Diamond?
• 38:24
  What's What do you got to do for Diamond?
• 38:25
  Platinum's a million. So is Diamond 10 million?
• 38:28
  Yes, 10 million. So it said.
• 38:31
  It went on. It went on.
• 38:33
  In the US alone, it was certified six times platinum.
• 38:38
  OK, so you have to have 10 million in the United States to
• 38:42
  get a diamond record, just FYI. Gotcha.
• 38:47
  The standards are different when you get outside the United
• 38:51
  States because it's based on population density.
• 38:55
  So like in Canada, to have a diamond record, you might only
• 38:57
  have to sell 750,000 copies or something, you know, or 2
• 39:01
  million. But in the United States, it's
• 39:04
  500,000 for Gold, 1,000,000 for platinum and 10 million for
• 39:08
  diamond. Right.
• 39:11
  It's hard to have a Diamond album.
• 39:12
  That's a lot of records. Yeah.
• 39:19
  So now, OK, let's, I'll go down this.
• 39:23
  Hold on a second. I'll go down this rabbit hole
• 39:25
  for one second to put it in perspective of how amazing, no
• 39:32
  matter what you think of the Black Album, that album has been
• 39:37
  on the Billboard Top 100 or 250. I think it's been on the Top
• 39:43
  100, it's entire existence. It's still on the Billboard Top
• 39:48
  100 or 250 or whatever it is, but it's still there.
• 39:52
  So is Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon or Water?
• 39:55
  I think that one finally went down.
• 39:59
  OK. OK.
• 40:00
  So I just I just I just googled 10 million plus OK.
• 40:04
  OK. So, so it's there's there's a
• 40:07
  select, there's there's there's a six person group, A66 musician
• 40:12
  band group that have gone 20 million or plus.
• 40:15
  OK and this is, this is not surprising because I heard this
• 40:20
  before but it's still surprising The Eagles greatest hits album
• 40:23
  from 71 and 75 has gone platinum 38 times over.
• 40:28
  So they're the number one selling ever. #2 to that is
• 40:34
  Michael Jackson's Thriller. Surprise #3 to that is the
• 40:39
  Eagles again with Hotel California.
• 40:41
  That's surprising. #4 to that which which I right.
• 40:45
  The number 4, which I thought definitely would be a diamond,
• 40:48
  is ACDC's back in black. That's not a Diamond album. #5
• 40:54
  it is, it's 20 million plus. This is the 20 million plus.
• 40:57
  OK, Jesus, squirrel. Yeah.
• 41:01
  So 20 million plus. Yeah, it's OK.
• 41:04
  It's OK. So, so the, the, the as of right
• 41:08
  now, the number one selling album of all time is the Eagles
• 41:12
  Greatest Hits 7175, or 38,000,038.
• 41:15
  Yeah, 38 million sells because of 38 times platinum.
• 41:18
  Next to that is Michael Jackson's Thriller, which is 34
• 41:21
  times platinum. #3 is the Eagles Hotel California, which is
• 41:24
  26,000,000. So the Eagles alone?
• 41:27
  That's wow, 64 million, 64,000,000 sales for just that
• 41:35
  Greatest hits and Hotel California combined.
• 41:38
  Two albums. Then coming in at #4 is ACDC
• 41:40
  with Back in Black with 2025 times platinum.
• 41:43
  Yeah, two albums. Led Zeppelin.
• 41:45
  Now mighty Zepp. The Untitled Led Zeppelin 4.
• 41:48
  My favorite. Is it 24 times platinum?
• 41:51
  And then rumors. And the rumors from Fleetwood
• 41:53
  Mac 21 times platinum. So then you go to the TO 15 to
• 41:58
  19,000,000 right? Which is still even not a very
• 42:02
  large group. It's 12345678910111213 people
• 42:08
  between 15 and 19,000,000. I won't break it down, but I'll
• 42:11
  tell you in in that chunk you have Garth Books twice with two
• 42:16
  different albums. You have Guns and Roses with my
• 42:20
  album. Shania Twain with.
• 42:26
  Appetite for Destruction album guys.
• 42:28
  Roses Garth Brooks Yeah, Yep, Garth Brooks are no fences.
• 42:35
  And then you have Shania Twain come on over.
• 42:37
  Then you have the mighty Metallica, which I'm assuming is
• 42:40
  just a black album because it's just says Metallica.
• 42:42
  Metallica 90. 1. 16 times. Find them.
• 42:45
  That's as of 2012. There's an asterisk that's as of
• 42:48
  2012, so it may have gone more since Elton John's greatest
• 42:53
  hits, Boston's debut, Boston's Springsteen's protest album,
• 43:00
  Born in the USA, Bee Gees, Alanis Morissette, Dark Side of
• 43:04
  the Moon, Bob Marley, The Wailers, Journey's Greatest Hits
• 43:07
  and Steve Miller Band are all between 15 and 19,000,000
• 43:11
  responses. And oddly enough, those are all
• 43:15
  bands that I still listen to every day.
• 43:20
  There's a reason they're there. Those are amazing albums.
• 43:24
  And just for our listeners aren't complete music freaks
• 43:28
  like myself. The Shania Twain and the ACDC
• 43:33
  were produced by the same producer, so it's not an
• 43:36
  accident that those albums are straight selling.
• 43:39
  Yep. So for the people.
• 43:43
  Metallica No, he didn't. Did he shoot the?
• 43:44
  Metallica No. No, Bob Rock didn't.
• 43:48
  And Bob Rock is also a platinum album maker.
• 43:51
  So how many albums did Slippery When Wet sell?
• 43:56
  Yeah, since he did that. Or maybe he just engineered
• 44:00
  that. I'm.
• 44:01
  I'm. I'm in the 10,000,000 now.
• 44:03
  You know what? He might have just engineered
• 44:05
  that. There's.
• 44:07
  I know he produced New Jersey. I'm almost.
• 44:09
  So we have, Yeah. OK We have.
• 44:12
  We have 10 to 14,000,000. You have Hootie and the
• 44:15
  Blowfish, Carole King, Simon, Garfunkel, Meatloaf, Whitney
• 44:18
  Houston, Couple soundtracks, Dirty Dancing in the Bodyguard,
• 44:22
  Backstreet Boys, Santana, Santana.
• 44:26
  I like saying Santana, Purple Rain.
• 44:29
  I surprise Purple Rain hasn't sold more than that.
• 44:31
  That's that's surprising. How many of?
• 44:34
  That M&M's Marshall Mathers. Held 10 million plus.
• 44:37
  Prince Purple Rain was 13 * 13 times platinum.
• 44:42
  I would have thought it would have been more too.
• 44:44
  Beatles on here I Yeah, Beatles there.
• 44:47
  It is. Slippery and wet. 12 * 12
• 44:50
  million copies. OK, I know it was quite a few.
• 44:54
  Zeppelin's on here again. Yeah, but The Beatles on here
• 44:57
  quite a bit. One of your favorite vocalists
• 44:59
  of all times on here. Korean Square Water Revival def.
• 45:04
  Leopard Hysteria is on there. Creed's on there, Human Clay.
• 45:10
  Pink Floyd's The Walls on there, More Beatles Houses of the holy
• 45:16
  Billy Joel Stranger. Great fucking album.
• 45:20
  Nirvana's. Never mind.
• 45:21
  Funny story about Billy Joel. Kid Rock's the Devil Without a
• 45:24
  cause. Pearl Jam.
• 45:26
  Yeah, I tell everybody the same thing.
• 45:28
  I always say that. Yeah, go ahead.
• 45:31
  Funny story, Billy Joel. I always say that I don't like
• 45:34
  Billy Joel. Every time I every time I hear
• 45:37
  one of his songs, I'm like, damn it, I like Billy Joel.
• 45:44
  I want to. I don't know what it is, man.
• 45:47
  It's like a weird. I don't want to like the guy.
• 45:49
  And every time I hear one of the songs, I know every fucking word
• 45:52
  and I know all the music to it. He's crazy.
• 45:56
  I think this this may be why. This may be why.
• 45:59
  When when he got with Christie Brinkley and did that whole
• 46:02
  Uptown girl bullshit album, it it it took away from where he
• 46:06
  was like like I'll listen to the stranger like I never was a big
• 46:10
  Billy Joel fan at all either right?
• 46:11
  Never liked piano man you know when I got back into to owning
• 46:17
  records I I I got The Stranger, I went to record store and I I
• 46:21
  stranger called to me and I picked it up and went home and
• 46:24
  played it. I'm like fuck this is a good
• 46:25
  album and start to finish. So I think that's when some
• 46:29
  artists change. The change doesn't always keep
• 46:34
  you a fan, right? Like, like Metallica lost a lot
• 46:37
  of fans and they did black, but they also gained 20 times as
• 46:40
  much fans because a lot of people thought they sold out
• 46:42
  because they weren't that driving heavy thrash, speed,
• 46:45
  death metal, whatever you want to call it, not death metal.
• 46:47
  But you know what I'm saying. For everyone that lost, they
• 46:50
  gained. The lightning, it wasn't kill
• 46:52
  them all. Well, that's what I'm saying.
• 46:54
  So it wasn't, you know, and now it is what it is.
• 46:59
  But you just, you just, you hit that point and it's like OK.
• 47:03
  There's only one band that got away with making the same album
• 47:08
  every There's only one band that got away with making the same
• 47:11
  album over and over and over again, and that's ACDC.
• 47:15
  If Metallica had kept making, yeah.
• 47:18
  If Metallica had kept making Master of Puppets and Ride the
• 47:21
  Lightning, nobody would have liked them.
• 47:23
  Even Megadeth. Change.
• 47:24
  No matter what people want to say.
• 47:26
  Megadeth went commercial when they did euthanasia and cryptic
• 47:31
  writings and you know, they went down that same Rd.
• 47:35
  So I don't I get in that same argument with people who dis
• 47:38
  Metallica all the time. The reason that they are the Led
• 47:41
  Zeppelin of our generation is because they evolved.
• 47:44
  It didn't always work. I appreciate them trying an
• 47:49
  album like Street Anger. There's some songs that I like
• 47:52
  on there. It's just incomplete.
• 47:54
  It didn't get finished. You know the ideas are there,
• 47:57
  but it's almost like it was Metallica doing a demo, and
• 48:01
  Metallica's demo is going to be 100 times better than everybody
• 48:04
  else's. Had it been any other album,
• 48:06
  people would have loved it. But because it was Metallica and
• 48:09
  we have high expectations for them, they were going through a
• 48:12
  rough period in their life and you know, you and I know better
• 48:15
  than anybody what that's like. It's hard to be creative and
• 48:18
  write music when your life is in turmoil, you know?
• 48:22
  Since then, they've written some great albums.
• 48:25
  If you've never done yourself a favor and listened to Death
• 48:27
  Magnetic or Hard Wired for Self Destruction, 72 seasons, the
• 48:35
  latest album that they released. Those three albums after Saint
• 48:39
  Anger are absolutely amazing. They're great pieces of music
• 48:43
  and I think people should just get off that.
• 48:47
  Well, they haven't done anything since The Black Album.
• 48:50
  Yeah, well, they've played about 6000 shows since then.
• 48:53
  That's what they've done you dumb fucks to to a sold out
• 48:59
  crowd. Every night Lexaturna came out
• 49:01
  or Yeah, right. So in 72 seasons, the first
• 49:05
  truck they released was Lexaturna.
• 49:07
  So I, I, I'm, I'm an Orangetheory and kool-aid
• 49:10
  drinker. I go to Orangetheory, right.
• 49:12
  So every six months we have benchmarks.
• 49:15
  That's the reason I'm telling you this story.
• 49:16
  Every six months we have benchmarks.
• 49:17
  So those benchmarks are a 500 meter row and your best time
• 49:21
  possible 2000 meter row. Catch me if you can.
• 49:24
  Which means everybody gets on the treadmill and at certain
• 49:27
  intervals you got to add, you got to add speed or you have to
• 49:31
  be at a certain distance otherwise you're caught and you
• 49:33
  got to get off of. They also have the mile
• 49:35
  benchmark run so it's you got to run a mile as fast as you can.
• 49:39
  Well the trainers don't control the music which really sucks.
• 49:43
  It's the It's the only real negative thing about Orange
• 49:45
  Theory is the trainers are limited to whatever stupid music
• 49:49
  that Orange Three makes them use because of stupid.
• 49:53
  Knowing this ahead of time, I had my I right?
• 49:57
  So knowing this ahead of time, I had my trusty iPad, iPod,
• 50:01
  whatever you want to call that. And I downloaded.
• 50:06
  I have running playlists, but I I for this particular one I had
• 50:10
  Lux Eterna for Metallica and oh, something from POD because it
• 50:18
  was driving. It was a driving song from POD
• 50:21
  and they were. I had metallicas on there twice
• 50:23
  and then PO DS twice, so it was Metallica.
• 50:25
  Metallica PODPODI ran the mile at studio One because that's
• 50:29
  when I was doing back-to-back workouts at different studios.
• 50:32
  I ran the first mile at 555. Luxor Turner was playing the
• 50:35
  whole time because I had to go back-to-back.
• 50:37
  I turned it up loud enough so I could ignore the trainer, ignore
• 50:40
  all their bullshit music because they don't understand.
• 50:42
  Runners need a driving beat. The music is just fucking out of
• 50:46
  sight, man. You're you, you go faster, you
• 50:49
  just get that energy and you go. So first studio I did in 5
• 50:55
  minutes, 55 seconds. So the second studio, which is
• 50:58
  40 minutes, Thirty minutes later same concept went in.
• 51:02
  Now understand. I did an entire hour workout
• 51:04
  after I did the mile for the first part of the workout.
• 51:06
  The 1st 6 minutes of my day was doing that.
• 51:10
  Went to the next studio. Same thing, Metallica.
• 51:14
  I speed up the treadmill on every interval because my goal
• 51:17
  was, well, I got to beat 555. I can't do 555 again.
• 51:21
  Fucking thing, man. I finished at 5:55 again.
• 51:25
  Which tells you what, Mike. It tells you that the treadmill.
• 51:29
  Metallica needed it. Differently.
• 51:30
  Different studios, but Metalla, right?
• 51:34
  But Metallica's Luxaturna propelled me to hit that that
• 51:37
  target twice in the in the period of an hour.
• 51:40
  Which is pretty damn cool and totally off topic, but it's
• 51:45
  relevant right now in our world. That Taylor Swift chick?
• 51:49
  Guess where she's not? She's not in the 10 to
• 51:54
  14,000,000 copies sold. She's not in the 15 to
• 51:57
  19,000,000 copies sold. She's not in the 20 million or
• 52:01
  more copies sold. She's way down the list of less
• 52:06
  than 10 million records sold for her.
• 52:10
  Where is she? Her fearless record that came
• 52:12
  out in 2008. She's only done 10 times
• 52:15
  platinum. Do you want me to educate the
• 52:18
  listeners as to why? Or would you just like to think
• 52:20
  that she doesn't sell a lot of records?
• 52:22
  I would love you to educate the listeners as to why Mr.
• 52:26
  Michaels. Because the majority of her
• 52:30
  professional career that the American public knows her as
• 52:36
  today was in a time where CD and vinyl and record sales were in
• 52:43
  the toilet. If you look at her streaming
• 52:46
  numbers, she's probably smoking everybody by about 1000 to 1.
• 52:50
  So just to put that in perspective, I know where you
• 52:53
  were going with that and it makes me happy too.
• 52:56
  But unfortunately, I'm educated enough in the music business to
• 52:59
  have to say damn it, It's because she spent the majority
• 53:03
  of her professional career in the non physical media buying
• 53:07
  purchase era. When's the last time you or I
• 53:11
  bought ACD? OK, so in the true so billions
• 53:20
  in the streaming because I just I just typed in most streaming
• 53:23
  songs. The Billions blinding.
• 53:25
  The song called Blinding Lights 3.993 billion.
• 53:32
  Song called Shape of You 3.7 Billion Someone You love 3.1
• 53:37
  billion Sunflower 3.096 billion. So what we need?
• 53:42
  Is any of the songs man? Everybody to download this
• 53:45
  podcast 3.9 billion times and we will either bring you massively
• 53:52
  new good content or you'll never have to hear us again.
• 53:56
  The choice is yours, people. Oh, OK, so, so right, so now I
• 54:00
  know. Now now this explains OK, so, so
• 54:04
  Spotify's most streamed songs, Shape of You by Ed Sheeran 4.2
• 54:08
  billion or 4 point. Well, I rounded it up Blinding
• 54:12
  lights by the weekend like I like blinding lights.
• 54:14
  Who the fuck is that? The weekend, The band.
• 54:16
  The weekend. And then Ed Sheeran comes in and
• 54:19
  again at #3 with Perfect. The weekend is a dude.
• 54:26
  He's he's a guy. Oh, OK, and I don't think it's.
• 54:28
  A band. I think it's a guy.
• 54:30
  Oh. He's a good artist, absolutely.
• 54:33
  And then the spell weekend, right?
• 54:34
  It's. OK, cool.
• 54:35
  He's cool. He's cool.
• 54:36
  Man, And then you have this Spaccio by Lewis Pharmacy.
• 54:41
  You don't spell it right when. Going and then Someone you Loved
• 54:43
  by Lewis Capaldi. You know that.
• 54:48
  So that's that's the yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 54:54
  If it ends in an S, you put AZ there.
• 54:56
  That's when it's interesting Z. Nemesis, yes.
• 55:00
  We should have had AZ in Nemesis.
• 55:02
  We didn't. We Didn't we?
• 55:03
  Would have had to have two Z's and I think that would have been
• 55:06
  overindulgent. Nemesis this.
• 55:12
  Wouldn't sound like we had a list.
• 55:14
  That's. How we can call that's that's
• 55:18
  how we can call our nemesis ourselves nemesis again by
• 55:21
  having Z's. Hey, look, while while you're on
• 55:24
  that subject, did we not have that name first?
• 55:29
  We can prove we had that name first.
• 55:31
  Why can't we have that name? We should have sued them.
• 55:35
  I mean, for Christ's sake, dude, we probably played over 1000
• 55:38
  Chosen. Because we have was all it
• 55:42
  needs. All it needs is it needs to be
• 55:44
  printed. It's in printing.
• 55:46
  If it's in printing, then. If it's in print, that's it's
• 55:49
  published, so therefore it is. Well, I have.
• 55:52
  About I just pulled up Nemesis 200 and.
• 55:55
  Leftover tickets that have Nemesis printed on them I.
• 55:59
  I know you do and. They're dated.
• 56:06
  Yeah, Arch Enemy, the band Nemesis.
• 56:09
  The band Nemesis is where I look for the.
• 56:11
  Band. Yeah, they're from, like, I want
• 56:14
  to say, what did I tell you, Hungary?
• 56:16
  I just pulled. Them up.
• 56:19
  I'm pulling them up right now. They're from somewhere in
• 56:22
  Europe. The song they have is This is
• 56:33
  The War Is On. It doesn't really tell me
• 56:36
  anything more about them I Got. To thinking about that, I was
• 56:42
  like, we've had that name since 1994.
• 56:48
  Yeah, it's a Bangladesh rock band formed in 1999 in Dhaka.
• 56:54
  They're one of the most popular rock bands in Bangladesh.
• 56:58
  So they stole our name. Six years later, we were still a
• 57:00
  band in 1999, they stole our fucking name.
• 57:05
  We were. We needed better lawyers, you
• 57:07
  know. We.
• 57:15
  Yeah, they stole our name while we were using it.
• 57:18
  Yeah. Nemesis didn't officially
• 57:22
  disband until. 2000 Yeah, they have a thing called
• 57:29
  nemesisband.com. It's just a.
• 57:35
  This is different Nemesis. All kinds of people ripped off
• 57:39
  our. Knees a bunch of old dudes
• 57:40
  Nemesis at the New Year's Eve Celebration at the Romo Club
• 57:46
  featuring entertainment by Nemesis.
• 57:50
  These guys are not from Bangladesh.
• 57:52
  This is a full trumpet like this is a full brass band.
• 57:56
  It's it's got trumpets, 2 trumpets of sax, keyboard,
• 57:59
  female singer, drummer, bass guitar, another rhythm guitar,
• 58:03
  and 233 rhythm guitars. I'm offended.
• 58:08
  There is no band using the name Nemesis that should have a brass
• 58:11
  section. That's unacceptable.
• 58:15
  No. And one of the no, it's it's
• 58:17
  it's yeah, it's kind of it's a horn driven cover band.
• 58:21
  So therefore I think we could still call ourselves Nemesis
• 58:25
  because they're a horn driven cover band and you have the
• 58:27
  other band from. Bengal and three of the original
• 58:30
  Nemesis members are still walking this earth, so I think
• 58:33
  Rick would back us up. Right.
• 58:36
  And Dave Glazer still around. He became our manager later on,
• 58:39
  so he would back us up. We got a lot of witnesses.
• 58:42
  Yeah, yeah. Not to mention the legions of
• 58:45
  fans that used to come to our show, so and.
• 58:50
  Then just the simple fact that that that we have the, the
• 58:55
  marketing, this stuff we did what the fuck?
• 58:58
  Yeah, I'm surrounded by it. It's all over this table that
• 59:00
  people can't see. There's nemesis stuff everywhere
• 59:04
  on this table. Yeah, And you know how I came up
• 59:10
  with the. With the, with the name Nemesis,
• 59:11
  right. Pearl Jam.
• 59:17
  Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 59:18
  Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam.
• 59:20
  You even told the story on the podcast Pulled.
• 59:23
  Out my gun, yeah. Yeah, I remember you showing up
• 59:27
  that came up with that was just the first word out of your
• 59:31
  mouth. You said, I think we should call
• 59:32
  ourselves Nemesis. And everything got, you know,
• 59:35
  how it went down back then. Everything got shot down like in
• 59:38
  1/10 of a second. That was the first time that
• 59:39
  everybody was like, nobody said anything.
• 59:43
  And Chris was like, well, at least they're thinking about it,
• 59:46
  you know? And so we all talked about it
• 59:48
  and looked up Nemesis. And then it's the goddess of
• 59:51
  vengeance in Greek mythology. And I was like, well, that's
• 59:54
  pretty cool. So yeah, we went out there and
• 59:57
  kicked some ass under the Nemesis moniker from 1993 or 4
• 1:00:01
  until 2000. Yeah, I know, Chris jumped off
• 1:00:06
  the ride with. That I think we somewhere
• 1:00:07
  because. We kept going for a little
• 1:00:10
  while, but I told you but. You know, yeah, Petered out.
• 1:00:15
  Once a nemesis, always a nemesis.
• 1:00:18
  So yeah, we own that name. 1st It's funny, I I ended up Yeah,
• 1:00:22
  it's funny. I Jesse, the drummer for the
• 1:00:25
  last band I was in. It was his birthday yesterday
• 1:00:28
  and I haven't talked to him in years, but I always wish him
• 1:00:30
  happy birthday. I've always messaged him happy
• 1:00:32
  birthday on Facebook and always text him yesterday, he finally
• 1:00:35
  responds back. I'm like, holy shit dude, I
• 1:00:37
  haven't talked to you. Never.
• 1:00:38
  But it got me thinking. Whenever I'd introduce us on
• 1:00:43
  stage, it was Mike Michaels on guitar and you, you know William
• 1:00:48
  Rich and Carr the Third because it just pissed off Rick because
• 1:00:51
  I used his full name, but I liked his full name because why
• 1:00:53
  not? And then I.
• 1:00:54
  Always. I like the way you saw the.
• 1:00:55
  Drummer. Like I never said Scott.
• 1:00:57
  And ever since Scott Connor, I just said Scott the drummer.
• 1:01:00
  Well, in talking with Jesse yesterday for about 45 minutes,
• 1:01:03
  if he attacks, it dawned on me. I did the same thing with Jesse.
• 1:01:06
  I never said Jesse Johnson. I just said Jesse the drummer,
• 1:01:10
  you know, I don't know why that is, man, because it rolls up.
• 1:01:13
  I think drummers just need to be defined like, right, Scott the
• 1:01:17
  drummer. Jesse the drummer, you know, and
• 1:01:20
  Mike Michaels. And that's a weird thing, like
• 1:01:23
  if we could get because because Jesse still plays, if we could
• 1:01:25
  get him to join in and we would have Mike Michaels on the guitar
• 1:01:28
  and Jesse, Jesse Johnson, then you guys both have the same, you
• 1:01:32
  know, Mike Michaels, Jesse Johnson, Debbie Trolls, JJ,
• 1:01:35
  Amen, right. And of course, William Richard
• 1:01:39
  Carr, the Third. Do you remember the night that
• 1:01:42
  we got See, I I can't remember what gigs were what, so I just
• 1:01:48
  got asked a question. Do you remember the night that
• 1:01:50
  we got booked with the Skinhead band at The Mason Jar?
• 1:01:56
  Probably. I was just telling that story
• 1:01:59
  the other day because, yeah, I I think Scott was the one that
• 1:02:05
  finally jumped in and he was kind of like way crazier than
• 1:02:09
  even they were. And they got scared of him
• 1:02:13
  because he told him he was going to fight every one of them.
• 1:02:15
  He just asked who was first. I remember talking to one of
• 1:02:20
  those dudes and saying, to your point about drummers, I just
• 1:02:24
  remember talking to one of the guys who seemed to be the voice
• 1:02:27
  of reason on the other side of the skinheads and saying, you
• 1:02:30
  know, you got a drummer, We got a drummer.
• 1:02:33
  Drummers just like to beat the shit out of stuff.
• 1:02:35
  They're not really musicians, you know.
• 1:02:37
  Their whole goal in life is to have as much physical stamina as
• 1:02:41
  humanly possible. Because playing the drums to
• 1:02:44
  your point as a runner is like running a long distance.
• 1:02:48
  You might be running a 10K doing a 2 hour show, you know.
• 1:02:52
  So when you're going to fight a drummer, you might want to take
• 1:02:55
  into account that their whole existence in life is to beat the
• 1:02:58
  shit out of something. Sometimes softly, sometimes
• 1:03:01
  hard. But they can do it for hours on
• 1:03:03
  end. Take the sticks out of their
• 1:03:07
  hand and that's your face. That was my point to it.
• 1:03:12
  Yeah, exactly. And yeah, and they are.
• 1:03:15
  And and that's just and their brains are wired differently,
• 1:03:17
  too. Yeah, well, and my point was,
• 1:03:21
  that's the night that I learned in telling the story to this
• 1:03:24
  other person that skinheads hate everyone, They don't just hate
• 1:03:29
  themselves or they don't just hate.
• 1:03:32
  Like black people, Hispanics, they hate.
• 1:03:35
  Long hairs. They hate Mormons.
• 1:03:39
  They hate. They hate everyone.
• 1:03:41
  If you're not one of them, they hate you.
• 1:03:43
  I didn't know that. I thought, you know, they just
• 1:03:45
  hated, like, you know, ethnic groups.
• 1:03:48
  But that night proved differently.
• 1:03:49
  They don't like people along. It's just, it's just straight
• 1:03:54
  across the board, which is disappointing, but you know.
• 1:03:58
  And the reason that that story came up was somebody asked me
• 1:04:06
  how old you were when you went bald, and I said he wasn't bald,
• 1:04:10
  he just shaved his head. He had a full head of hair.
• 1:04:13
  So that's when I told that story.
• 1:04:15
  I said, and oddly I said, oddly enough, I think the owner of one
• 1:04:19
  of the clubs that we played at got a little confused because he
• 1:04:22
  booked us with a Skinhead band shortly after Chris shaved his
• 1:04:26
  head. That's how that went down as
• 1:04:28
  Franco. I think he thought we were going
• 1:04:29
  Skinhead or something. Right.
• 1:04:33
  Yeah, No, my ball cap ripped. For those who don't know, I was
• 1:04:37
  in a play. I was in a play called Bow Jest
• 1:04:39
  and I was playing Morse and the Butler, and I had a bald cap and
• 1:04:44
  it was a bit part. It was a character.
• 1:04:46
  Role. I had like 6 lines and I kind of
• 1:04:50
  waddle that on stage like a like a a Penguin on speed issued my
• 1:04:55
  lines and and then exited you know stage right I think at the
• 1:04:59
  time. But dress rehearsals the night
• 1:05:02
  before a play goes on for real. And when taking the I wasn't
• 1:05:06
  taking it off myself, but we were somebody's helping me
• 1:05:09
  remove it and the ball cap ripped and it was like oh shit.
• 1:05:13
  So it was one of those things. Well I could either.
• 1:05:15
  It was 3 days, two days before the show, so it was either I
• 1:05:20
  don't do it. But to me the bit was the fact
• 1:05:22
  this guy was bald, so I just shaved my head.
• 1:05:25
  So the next day I think I came to practice with a Mohawk,
• 1:05:28
  because I had a Mohawk for a day and then and then to play and
• 1:05:34
  then the play and then after the day of the play in in the makeup
• 1:05:39
  room, they just finished it off. They just shaved it all the
• 1:05:44
  right down the middle and the Mohawk was gone and.
• 1:05:47
  And my point to the listeners is this was 199495 somewhere in
• 1:05:53
  there guys were not shaving their head. 93. 93 guys were not
• 1:05:59
  shaving their head at all. It was not socially acceptable.
• 1:06:03
  That's why this was, you know, I don't think the person really
• 1:06:05
  got how shocking that was. You know, when I shaved my head,
• 1:06:11
  it wasn't real shocking. It was 2009 or whatever.
• 1:06:14
  You know, in 1993, a dude shows up and he's got shaved head.
• 1:06:17
  He's either got cancer, he's a Skinhead, or what the fuck
• 1:06:20
  happened, You know? There was only three questions.
• 1:06:24
  I'm like, holy shit, is my fucking brother sick?
• 1:06:26
  You know, I think. Is Chris dying?
• 1:06:29
  No, he just got his hat stuck to his head.
• 1:06:31
  Cool. And I think, I think that, I
• 1:06:33
  think that one, that one picture too.
• 1:06:38
  I think it actually, when we're sitting on the fence, I think
• 1:06:40
  that was one of the first pictures we took.
• 1:06:43
  We were not sitting after. I originally after I first
• 1:06:45
  shaved my head. We were not sitting on a fence.
• 1:06:48
  We were sitting on that archway across the street from Scott's
• 1:06:52
  house. Remember when he lived in Mesa?
• 1:06:54
  In that duplex on the corner. Oh, oh, that's right.
• 1:06:57
  That's. Right.
• 1:06:57
  Remember we got run off for trespassing.
• 1:06:59
  Then people came out. They were pissed.
• 1:07:01
  They didn't get amused that we got up there at all.
• 1:07:02
  But we got the picture. Yeah, I think my buddy Dave took
• 1:07:05
  that picture. Somebody.
• 1:07:07
  Somebody did. But yeah, that was the first
• 1:07:09
  picture of all four of us. And you're right, that was
• 1:07:11
  probably just shortly after you shaved your head.
• 1:07:15
  Yeah, we're sitting on an archway where people drove
• 1:07:17
  through. It was a nice community across
• 1:07:19
  the street. Yeah.
• 1:07:23
  That guy came out of that guard Jack.
• 1:07:24
  He's like, you guys can't be up there, I thought.
• 1:07:26
  You saying that? Relax, Fucker.
• 1:07:28
  Relax. All right, We got it.
• 1:07:30
  Well, bad. There's no sign, man.
• 1:07:35
  It doesn't say keep out. Exactly.
• 1:07:39
  At 22, you just don't think about stuff like that.
• 1:07:42
  So we needed to get a picture. We didn't care whose property it
• 1:07:45
  was on you. Don't you don't.
• 1:07:48
  Nope. We didn't.
• 1:07:50
  All right, so it's almost 4:00. Let's wind this puppy up.
• 1:07:54
  Let's do our. Did you get the e-mail?
• 1:07:56
  The top 11 sandwiches? Yeah.
• 1:08:00
  Check your e-mail, Mike. And I didn't, I didn't bold
• 1:08:03
  anything at all this time. So you can you can start with
• 1:08:06
  #11 when you get to it And you know just for everybody that
• 1:08:12
  that is. You know, following along our
• 1:08:15
  our program here we wrap up every show with a top 11 list of
• 1:08:19
  something and the reason why we do top 11 is.
• 1:08:23
  Because of the Great and mighty Spinal Tap, it goes to 11.
• 1:08:28
  It's one better than 10. It goes to 11.
• 1:08:31
  It goes to another better than 10.
• 1:08:33
  So today's Yeah. So today's Top 11 list is the
• 1:08:38
  top 11 sandwiches ever made. #11 so.
• 1:08:42
  Mike's going to start off with #11.
• 1:08:45
  Is ham and cheese, or in my case, fake cheese or vegan
• 1:08:49
  cheese, or whatever you'd like to call it's delicious.
• 1:08:52
  I have vegan cheese. I eat vegan cheese now too.
• 1:08:54
  I have chow. You tried the Chow cheese CA.
• 1:08:58
  Yeah, it is right. I was pleasantly surprised by
• 1:09:04
  far as my go to, yeah #10, tuna fish.
• 1:09:09
  I used to eat tuna fish sandwiches when I was a kid.
• 1:09:11
  I still do occasionally, especially when I don't.
• 1:09:13
  Feel good? It's good post workout too.
• 1:09:15
  It's it's good post workout. Yeah, yeah, you know, you can
• 1:09:18
  bring the tuna fish sandwich in the oven and you call it a tuna
• 1:09:21
  bumstead. I did not know that.
• 1:09:25
  I will try it sometime. #9 yeah, #9 go ahead. #9 is pastrami on
• 1:09:30
  sourdough, which I think sourdough is poison to me, but
• 1:09:34
  it sounds delicious. Oh, I'm sorry.
• 1:09:39
  That's. Crunchy #8 roast roast beef.
• 1:09:43
  And we're not talking America's roast beef.
• 1:09:45
  We're just talking roast beef. Roast That's.
• 1:09:47
  Not an Arby's plug unless you want to sponsor our show.
• 1:09:49
  This portion of the show is spot to you by Arby's America's
• 1:09:52
  Roast. See.
• 1:09:52
  Yes, Sir. And for those who are listening,
• 1:09:55
  Chris can do commercials very well.
• 1:09:57
  He's got that voice. So #7, yes, one of my favorites
• 1:10:03
  and a go to, as anybody will tell you that it works with me.
• 1:10:07
  Smoked Turkey. I love smoked Turkey.
• 1:10:11
  Is that is that is, is that real Ted and Tanya, does Mike like
• 1:10:15
  smoked Turkey sandwiches? Tanya will tell you she ate a
• 1:10:18
  lot of lunch. I don't know.
• 1:10:19
  For sure, if they listen to the show.
• 1:10:21
  That's right. OK.
• 1:10:22
  Right. On number six, up number six.
• 1:10:25
  Now I'm kind of, I'm kind of, I've kind of took this list into
• 1:10:27
  the into the not just sandwich. But if it's got two pieces of
• 1:10:31
  bread and something in the middle, it's a sandwich.
• 1:10:34
  So number six is a Patty melt. It's a sandwich.
• 1:10:38
  Number six is Patty melt. #5 One of my favourites.
• 1:10:44
  A brisket sandwich. Oh yeah.
• 1:10:50
  I would agree. I had my first brisket burger
• 1:10:52
  maybe sometime in 2023 and holy shit was that just an awakening
• 1:11:00
  of the of the taste buds and right just an all over aura of
• 1:11:06
  like pure satisfaction. Like that's it right there.
• 1:11:11
  Brisket, sandwich bomb diggity. I like to call that a. #4 Now I
• 1:11:15
  don't know if they have these in Illinois.
• 1:11:19
  Oh, there you go. I don't know if they have these
• 1:11:21
  in Illinois, but you're. Going to have to tell me what
• 1:11:23
  they. Call Chiba Hut and their
• 1:11:25
  sandwich is OK, so everything's You would love it because
• 1:11:30
  everything's Stoner themed, like every sandwich is is named after
• 1:11:36
  some kind of weed. The bread is not just boring
• 1:11:40
  bread, there's something always baked into it.
• 1:11:42
  So it's it's Chiba Hut a Chiba Hut Sandwich.
• 1:11:45
  If you go next time, I'm in Arizona.
• 1:11:47
  For those following along here, yeah, a Chiba Hut is CHEBA Hut,
• 1:11:54
  CHEBA Hut. And we're just totally taking
• 1:11:59
  they're toasted Subs, which are tasty.
• 1:12:00
  So here's it's the best but OK so like Jamaican Red is a
• 1:12:08
  Buffalo chicken sandwich. Jamaican Red is obviously a a a
• 1:12:11
  brand of pot columnist Thai Thai stick white widow Panama Red
• 1:12:18
  Acapulco Gold the the kind Apollo 13.
• 1:12:23
  You rush fans can relate to this because of their Oh my God, Oh
• 1:12:31
  my God I just brain farted on the train to Bangkok.
• 1:12:34
  Is that the song? Oh fuck.
• 1:12:38
  Rush. Yeah.
• 1:12:40
  Chronic they have. Yeah.
• 1:12:42
  What's that song? Yeah.

  I brain farted. They have a locana.
• 1:12:48
  They have a 5 point O the Pakalola chronic, which is
• 1:12:52
  something you'll love. Mike it's Roast beef, K GB
• 1:12:56
  AK47G13 Midwest Best Cincy Kush, which is bacon, honey, sriracha,
• 1:13:03
  Mayo, avocado, provolone, lettuce, tomato, shake house
• 1:13:05
  dressing, Pacific Pacific blue balm and dank.
• 1:13:11
  And it just goes on a train. Grifo, chisel, magic mushroom,
• 1:13:16
  power plant. Sticky icky.
• 1:13:18
  So again, it's Chiba CHEBA Hut. They're they're legit.
• 1:13:22
  It's a cool little place. It's it's the food's fantastic.
• 1:13:25
  So that's why they ranked #4 on our Top 11 sandwiches of all
• 1:13:29
  time. Any any sandwich from Chiba Hut?
• 1:13:32
  That's awesome. That was that they've let him
• 1:13:36
  when we would be pissed off that we just took that sidetrack on
• 1:13:39
  his on his world famous syndicated top ten which is why
• 1:13:43
  we do 11 so he can't get sued. But that would took too long to
• 1:13:46
  explain #4 that's a that's a top ten list.
• 1:13:49
  No, no. Even though we're doing 11.
• 1:13:51
  But I like that. Back to you Mr., Mike Michaels.
• 1:13:53
  Because we don't follow rules. Rules.
• 1:13:57
  I like it #3 will be a debate. And uh, if you'd like to chime
• 1:14:02
  in on the Chris and Mike Show Facebook page and tell us what
• 1:14:07
  you think, #3 is a hot dog. And my partner here says it is
• 1:14:13
  beef in a bun. And if it is an all beef hot dog
• 1:14:16
  on a bun, I think it's arguable that it's a sandwich.
• 1:14:21
  I get serious about my hot dogs. It'll be a sandwich when I'm
• 1:14:23
  done with it. Because the the poor man's hot
• 1:14:29
  dog bun is you put the hot dog between two pieces of bread.
• 1:14:32
  Remember that when you were a kid, you didn't have the money
• 1:14:34
  for hot dog buns, but you got bread, so you put the hot.
• 1:14:37
  I did it when I was in the band, buddy.
• 1:14:41
  If I could, if I could afford bread.
• 1:14:43
  Bologna sandwich. The hand sandwich.
• 1:14:47
  Right, that was like Metallica's Bologna sandwich they just had,
• 1:14:49
  right? They just had Bologna on their
• 1:14:50
  hand. Famous #2, which everybody agree
• 1:14:54
  with, even even vegan. Even vegan cheese eaters can
• 1:14:57
  agree to this. Number two is a grilled cheese
• 1:15:00
  sandwich. Had one for dinner last night.
• 1:15:02
  If you're Nikki, she wants tomato soup with that.
• 1:15:05
  That's what I had too. If you're Nikki, she wants
• 1:15:07
  tomato soup. With that and the number one,
• 1:15:09
  the number one best selling. Not selling, but the number one
• 1:15:12
  best sandwich ever is. A cheeseburger with no cheese,
• 1:15:18
  please. Yep.
• 1:15:22
  With with. No cheese for Mike or vegan
• 1:15:23
  cheese. Because why?
• 1:15:26
  It's got a bun. It's got the meat.
• 1:15:28
  It's got the bun. It's a sandwich.
• 1:15:30
  It's a sandwich. Not.
• 1:15:32
  My dad would say it's a sandwich.
• 1:15:34
  It's a sandwich. So there you go.
• 1:15:36
  It's a sandwich. He gets serious about his
• 1:15:38
  hamburger. First time we can debate how you
• 1:15:40
  spell sandwich. If it's with AD or without AD.
• 1:15:42
  Yeah, there you go. That's what I got for today.
• 1:15:46
  How about you? Yeah.
• 1:15:49
  So I'm going to put yes, I'm going to put a post because
• 1:15:56
  they're selling these shirts right here, right now.
• 1:16:00
  So I told you, my friend Sunshine has helped us immensely
• 1:16:04
  with the podcast. It's the least I can do.
• 1:16:06
  Her daughter's So her grandson, her daughter's son, he had a
• 1:16:12
  stroke when he was in the womb and it's called hemiplegic
• 1:16:16
  cerebral palsy. So it affected the left side of
• 1:16:20
  his brain. And he's normal in almost every
• 1:16:25
  aspect of life, but it causes him to have to do things that
• 1:16:31
  are harder, you know, like things are harder for him than
• 1:16:33
  they are for most kids. So in order to offset like cost
• 1:16:38
  of him going to his doctor's appointments and stuff like
• 1:16:40
  that, they do a fundraiser. T-shirts are awesome.
• 1:16:43
  They're quality T-shirts. They're cheap.
• 1:16:46
  A portion of it goes to help him do what he needs to do.
• 1:16:51
  He's an amazing kid, man. I he's been here at my house.
• 1:16:54
  You think you just had another little man in your house And
• 1:16:57
  when somebody at that age comes in and acts, I mean, it's not it
• 1:17:02
  would it wouldn't even be necessary to say any of this.
• 1:17:04
  I'm just saying I've met the kid.
• 1:17:06
  He's amazing. Whatever I can do to help them
• 1:17:09
  out, I would like to do so. I'll put it on our Chris and
• 1:17:12
  Mike show page. And if you can, we're not saying
• 1:17:15
  you have to, but if you're able to help buy a shirt, they're
• 1:17:19
  cool shirts. I like them and she's done a lot
• 1:17:22
  for us and it's the least I can do to repay the favor.
• 1:17:25
  They only ask one time a year and right now they're doing it.
• 1:17:28
  So I'm going to put a post on there and I just wanted to give
• 1:17:30
  her a shout out and tell everybody why we're putting that
• 1:17:34
  there. So that's why this poor little
• 1:17:37
  guy, he's got to go to physical therapy.
• 1:17:39
  He's a normal kid, but you would never know.
• 1:17:41
  And that's the cool thing about him.
• 1:17:42
  He just, he wants to do everything that everybody else
• 1:17:45
  does and we should help him do that if we can.
• 1:17:47
  So with that said, I hope everybody has a great week.
• 1:17:56
  Yeah, and before we go, shout out to the lava lamp behind you.
• 1:17:59
  It's really encapsulated the mood of the show and I keep
• 1:18:02
  watching it go up and down. I'm going to tell episode
• 1:18:07
  number. 12 I'm Chris Dunham. He's Listen, no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:18:13
  no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:18:18
  Because now I got to tell you son of a bit.
• 1:18:21
  See, I have to make sure that's the first thing I do when I come
• 1:18:26
  home on Tuesday, because do you know how long it takes to heat
• 1:18:29
  that thing up? Almost exactly.
• 1:18:32
  So we started. Doing this, but you can't just
• 1:18:35
  leave it running because it can only run like Oh yeah.
• 1:18:38
  Anyway thanks. I got a new LED, 16,000,000
• 1:18:42
  yeah. Because it gets too hot.
• 1:18:43
  It gets too hot. Yeah, you can't leave them
• 1:18:46
  running all the time it. Gets too hot, right?
• 1:18:48
  So it's just hilarious that at 50 years old I'm like, yeah, got
• 1:18:53
  to do, oh shit yeah, podcast day.
• 1:18:55
  I got to get home quick and turn the lava lamp on because it
• 1:18:57
  won't be bubbling time for how stupid I just laughed at.
• 1:19:03
  What's funny? Skyler told me.
• 1:19:05
  Skyler told me. I think, I think Scott told me
• 1:19:07
  last week or something that I need, I need a lava lamp just
• 1:19:09
  because Tripp, the little one, he's 7 month old.
• 1:19:13
  He loves like lights and stuff. Like when we have the Christmas
• 1:19:16
  lights up he just stairs. We have this really cool laser
• 1:19:18
  thing that little man and I play with that it's green but it
• 1:19:23
  likes makes green like lasers. But it's it's it's it's you
• 1:19:30
  know, I don't know. It's not just a, which is not
• 1:19:32
  just one line. It's like 1000 lines and then
• 1:19:34
  you can turn the the head of the flashlight to spin around stuff.
• 1:19:38
  Little and Trip loves it. We were messing the Internet.
• 1:19:41
  We turn all lights off and little man was ghost hunting and
• 1:19:44
  we're using that light and he was just so captivated by it,
• 1:19:47
  so. So as much as and I was like as
• 1:19:50
  much as you've been watching this one, I can't, I'll I'll out
• 1:19:54
  myself and say I've actually turned this chair around because
• 1:19:57
  for the folks at home, obviously that's right behind me.
• 1:20:00
  I've sat in this chair and just watched the lava lamp and done
• 1:20:04
  nothing else. So it is very captivating.
• 1:20:08
  OK, I'm just going to ponder life for about 1/2 hour and
• 1:20:11
  watch this thing. That's how I live.
• 1:20:15
  And with that, everybody be kind to one another.
• 1:20:21
  We'll see you next week. And thanks for listening always.
