  What's up there, boys and girls? Welcome YouTube and Twitchers
• 0:04
  welcome it's. The Chris and Mike show the.
• 0:06
  Answers. Here.
• 0:11
  No. And there you have it.
• 0:13
  So we were supposed to have a. Band on today, but apparently.
• 0:15
  They're having a spinal chat moment.
• 0:17
  They're stuck somewhere in Cleveland.
• 0:18
  They don't realize you click on the fucking link people.
• 0:21
  And and that gets you to the show so I can.
• 0:24
  Listen to the words to that song in the beginning.
• 0:27
  I'm not sure it could. I never paid attention before
• 0:29
  it. It couldn't be a more apropos
• 0:31
  podcast beginning. Everybody listen to me.
• 0:34
  Yep, I'm going to tell you. Yep, how it's supposed to be.
• 0:37
  Yeah, that's why, you know, I was actually.
• 0:41
  I don't know, I was on that wavelength as I was listening to
• 0:44
  it. I'm like wow, not only is it a
• 0:45
  cool song, it's actually very apropos for a podcast beginning.
• 0:48
  Yeah, that's why we opened. With that song, because it was
• 0:50
  like, you know, that's the whole welcome to my mind thing.
• 0:53
  Here we go. You know, you may have your
• 0:55
  opinions and thoughts, but here are mine in your face.
• 0:58
  Yes. In a nice positive.
• 1:00
  Engaging way not dark and evil. Yeah, you can turn it off if you
• 1:04
  don't like it. Exactly.
• 1:06
  We're not hurting anybody. We're not hurting anybody.
• 1:08
  Yeah. So I'm a little, I'm a little
• 1:10
  bummed out. We had this band that was
• 1:11
  supposed to come on. I had like like a day and a half
• 1:13
  of emails confirming. Well, what irritates me is after
• 1:18
  you've talked us through and I figured out who it was, you
• 1:22
  reached out to us. Yeah, initially, right?
• 1:25
  Yeah. And we responded in a timely
• 1:27
  manner, and we set you up an appointment or schedule or
• 1:30
  whatever you want to call in. And you have to honor those
• 1:32
  things, man. Like, you came down.
• 1:34
  We didn't come to you. Yeah, so we're just going to
• 1:36
  name drop Astonish Entertainment.
• 1:38
  You suck because you don't follow through.
• 1:40
  You don't. Abide by your schedule.
• 1:42
  We had four different emails yesterday with with whoever
• 1:45
  Ashley Kurland is, which is which is who is the.
• 1:47
  Band on, this is the second time.
• 1:49
  That they actually bounced us because it was supposed to be in
• 1:52
  in December, I'm sorry, in September.
• 1:55
  And they flaked one time before. So I should have just went with
• 1:58
  my gut and said, yeah, sorry, you're not coming on the show.
• 2:00
  Because if you can't, if you can't, if they can't do right by
• 2:04
  the 1st scheduled meeting and then you screw up the second one
• 2:08
  by not showing up, then yeah, we're just going to name drop
• 2:10
  you and. Unless you're like the one guest
• 2:13
  who their spouse had a heart attack.
• 2:16
  Well, that's a whole different thing, I know.
• 2:18
  But but you know once. We're not.
• 2:20
  We're not heartless. Yeah, fool me once, you know
• 2:22
  what is it? Fool me once.
• 2:23
  Shame on me. Fool me twice.
• 2:25
  Whatever. And then fool me once on you
• 2:28
  fool me twice. So three strikes and you're out
• 2:30
  type thing. So here's I'm going to pull up
• 2:32
  these people. It's a label.
• 2:34
  It's a label which is makes it even worse here, which is going
• 2:38
  to this is them astonish entertainment and they obviously
• 2:42
  I think that's it. Was -3° here last night, my
• 2:47
  friend. -3 degrees -3°. That's too cold, too early.
• 2:52
  Yeah, here it was. Maybe 59?
• 2:55
  That's pretty chilly for you, but I would have loved 59.
• 2:58
  It's it's cold in the morning. Oh, here it is.
• 3:00
  Here it is. Here it is astonishing.
• 3:02
  Was that not the right one? No.
• 3:03
  So magic happens to the studio yet?
• 3:05
  Yeah, we're in the studio and you're not here.
• 3:07
  So there's no magic happening, people.
• 3:09
  Yeah, we're in the studio. I think it was, it was, I think
• 3:12
  it was Adam's music. Project I don't quote me.
• 3:15
  Yeah, that sounds right. But they, because they've been,
• 3:19
  they've been sending us stuff, man, for months.
• 3:21
  Like, we want to come on your show.
• 3:23
  We want to get, yeah, we want to get some bands showcase, like,
• 3:26
  OK, great, let's go. This is what we do.
• 3:29
  And it just goes back to the fact that Villo Cheetah is by
• 3:32
  far the most reliable and dedicated entertainment industry
• 3:37
  that's that's all about, you know, showcasing their artists
• 3:40
  on our show because we are the top 3 rated arts and
• 3:43
  entertainment podcast in Arizona.
• 3:45
  But we can talk about that. There's, I'm glad you brought
• 3:48
  that up. We got our 2025 Spotify Wrapped,
• 3:52
  you know, where they keep track of all your statistics all year
• 3:54
  long. Right.
• 3:56
  Just for my personal Spotify, I'll throw this out there for
• 4:00
  you. Take a guess at how many minutes
• 4:01
  you would think in a year that Mike Michaels would listen to
• 4:05
  music. How many minutes a year?
• 4:07
  I'm going to say oh. I posted it on Facebook.
• 4:10
  Jesus. 5463. Oh, you didn't see it on
• 4:14
  Facebook? I didn't know.
• 4:15
  Oh I was like son of a bitch. I the answer is on Facebook
• 4:18
  103,000 and some odd minutes and what?
• 4:21
  Did I say? You said 5000.
• 4:23
  I fucking I suck. So 103,000 103,000 minutes of
• 4:28
  music and then they break it down into podcast minutes.
• 4:31
  This year I had another 67,000 minutes of podcast listening.
• 4:35
  Wow. So 103,000 minutes equates to 71
• 4:38
  days. Well, because you you listen at
• 4:40
  work. Yeah, 10 hours a day.
• 4:42
  Wow, so like I see that with. Breaks and Lunches, 7 1/2.
• 4:46
  So for the Chris and Mike show, we had some interesting
• 4:49
  statistics Speaking of being one of the top three podcasts in the
• 4:52
  Phoenix metro area, which is a true statement.
• 4:55
  True statement. So for Spotify for 2025, I
• 4:58
  should post this on Facebook if I can figure out how to do it.
• 5:01
  It says a little hard work pays off.
• 5:04
  Total audience increased 141% from last year.
• 5:08
  This is just on Spotify. Yeah.
• 5:10
  OK, OK. Total new audience, a 999%
• 5:13
  increase from the year. Year over year, a 55% increase
• 5:17
  in followers from 2024. Outstanding.
• 5:20
  And this year 1 episode rose above the rest and I'm happy it
• 5:24
  was this one Episode number 83, Mike Larose, a recovery story
• 5:28
  was played 329% more than your average episode.
• 5:32
  Wow. Kudos because he was.
• 5:34
  Because he was smoking. Pot when he was 5.
• 5:37
  That didn't hurt the story at all.
• 5:38
  No, I think it helped. He was an outstanding, real, raw
• 5:43
  guest. Yeah, I'm going to text him and
• 5:45
  tell him. Yeah, and when I saw that, ask
• 5:47
  him back on because we owe him an episode just talking about
• 5:50
  music. I haven't forgotten that.
• 5:52
  I've told him that before. OK so then it says let's talk
• 5:54

  Pretty crazy for two guys who aren't famous.
• 7:30
  That is. That is pretty crazy.
• 7:32
  Your fans stream 2.3 times more than everyone else, so that
• 7:36
  means that they listen to our podcast on a longer basis each
• 7:40
  time than any other podcast that they listen to.
• 7:42
  OK, that's cool. 15% of them binge 2 or more episodes in one
• 7:47
  day. 10% hit play within in 24 hours of each new episode drop.
• 7:52
  Nice. It goes without saying your fans
• 7:54
  have great taste. Here's what else they're
• 7:55
  listening to, blah blah blah. OK, what's next?
• 7:58
  Why are you doing that? Just so the, the world can see
• 8:00
  this is, this is what we have scheduled.
• 8:02
  This is scheduled content. This is what I do behind the
• 8:05
  scenes. Mike works with the episodes,
• 8:07
  gets them all cleaned up and stuff.
• 8:09
  And then I, I schedule all these to drop on on our YouTube page.
• 8:12
  So there's 30 right there and these are the videos.
• 8:16
  So the video of. That up to today, yeah.
• 8:18
  Yeah. I know that this is our channel,
• 8:21
  but Chris does an amazing amount.
• 8:24
  He'll sit there for seven hours setting all this stuff up to
• 8:27
  make sure that they drop at the same time consistently.
• 8:29
  It's Yep, it's paid off on a level on YouTube that I'm proud
• 8:33
  to say that as of the end of the day today, we'll break 300,000
• 8:38
  views. Turn on and that's huge.
• 8:40
  Yeah. So there's there's about 75
• 8:43
  scheduled, scheduled videos and from shorts, shorts or you know,
• 8:48
  a minute or less videos, we have these things we called inside
• 8:51
  this segment. If we go to let's go back here,
• 8:54
  go to my channel, we're going to stop sharing.
• 8:56
  There's here. That's our play, what our
• 9:00
  playlists are. Says you received more comments
• 9:03
  than 94% of any other shows. Wow, that's fantastic man.
• 9:07
  You received more shares than 89% of other shows.
• 9:10
  Holy shit that's epic. Yeah, Spotify's really start.
• 9:15
  We found a new audience there here lately.
• 9:17
  Yeah, so here's the cool thing about the YouTube channel, if
• 9:20
  you don't know. So we have Inside the podcast,
• 9:22
  which are random episode highlights.
• 9:23
  So these are little mini podcast shows, so.
• 9:26
  The podcast usually goes anywhere from an hour to an hour
• 9:28
  and a half at most of the most part.
• 9:30
  So when we do the, when we break it all down in Riverside FM,
• 9:33
  which is our platform, we have what I call inside the podcast
• 9:37
  random highlights, highlights because they're, they're,
• 9:39
  they're chunks. They're like 2 minutes, 3
• 9:41
  minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes. So you take you take a really
• 9:44
  good portion of the show and it highlights this specific
• 9:47
  segment. Which is pretty neat Promo is
• 9:48
  I'm not super good at continuously doing those.
• 9:51
  Season 3 is, is, is the season we're in now.
• 9:53
  And then we have we have season 2 and season 1 is well, these
• 9:57
  are the shorts. So we have the shorts.
• 9:58
  So as you can see right there, the shorts, there's 700 shorts
• 10:01
  and there's 105 inside the podcast.
• 10:03
  The inside the. Podcast one just started maybe
• 10:05
  three or four months ago. So as you can see with the
• 10:07
  shorts, it's huge. Season 2 we had 55.
• 10:10
  Season 1 we had, that's not season one.
• 10:12
  Season 3 we had 1951 episodes. So we're closing in on Season 4
• 10:18
  and then season when we have 52 episodes.
• 10:22

• 10:24
  about. Real simple, just go to the
• 10:26
  YouTube page, hit subscribe, and you're going to see and hear

  everything we do because there's content dropping three times a

  Delay, you just broke my brain. But that is US right now.

  Start tuning in every week. Watching our show?
• 10:51
  Live craziest thing ever. OK, it's just that's that's
• 10:56
  shows you right there. We're not actually in the
• 10:58
  matrix. How do we know?
• 10:59
  We don't know. Maybe that's us in a parallel
• 11:01
  dimension. That could be us in a parallel
• 11:03
  dimension for sure. So back to the we're working on
• 11:06
  a website. I know we need a website, we're
• 11:07
  working on a website. So hang in there.
• 11:09
  That should be something in 2026.
• 11:11
  We're working on shirts with a buddy of mine.
• 11:13
  I'm with the high school with him waiting for him to give me a
• 11:14
  mock up. So when you go to our YouTube
• 11:16
  page, Real Simple Home takes you to the Home platform.
• 11:18
  Video takes you to all the videos, but if you go the
• 11:20
  podcast, you're gonna you're gonna see all three seasons
• 11:23
  right there in order real simple playlist that breaks it down so
• 11:27
  you have the playlist from inside the podcast, the
• 11:29
  episodes, things like that we just talked about we do have the
• 11:32
  lives and then you also it breaks down into the shorts.
• 11:35
  These are all the shorts you go latest, popular, oldest so you
• 11:38
  can change that however you want.
• 11:39
  We get a lot of viewers when we're live, which is kind of
• 11:42
  cool, so. These are the popular ones Bill
• 11:44
  Belichick praise and Eli 11,000 views when Belichick said that
• 11:48
  Eli should hit the Hall of Fame. Oh, that one that I told you the
• 11:52
  two I told you I posted one of them still rolling man.
• 11:55
  It's going to pass forth it priority Did it passed 4000
• 11:58
  views right on. And there it just makes me
• 12:01
  wonder why. Yeah, I understand the Belichick
• 12:04
  one, the name. Yeah, people are going to click
• 12:06
  on it because they want to hear about Belichick.
• 12:08
  But sure, the ones that are just you and I that go crazy, you
• 12:12
  just want you wish you could know why.
• 12:14
  Right. Well, it's kind of like the.
• 12:16
  Reason. Yeah, it's kind of like the
• 12:17
  Zombie 1, like this one. Like why does this one blow up,
• 12:21
  you know? Why can't I hear it?
• 12:22
  Where's the volume on this? You must have your volume down.
• 12:25
  I don't know. I don't see it.
• 12:26
  No, you don't see the video. No, I don't see the volume.
• 12:29
  I don't either, man. I'll like that because why not?
• 12:32
  How many likes does that have? That's.
• 12:35
  What I was looking. At Oh, that's the Views 2.7000.
• 12:38
  No, whoops. That's not the one I wanted.
• 12:40
  I was. Unsure it's popular.
• 12:42
  Seven, 8700. Eight, 8700.
• 12:45
  Nice. Yeah.
• 12:46
  And that was just if you want to be a zombie.
• 12:47
  If you're a zombie, you can come on the show just.
• 12:49
  Yeah, and, you know, I couldn't, I couldn't pinpoint too many
• 12:52
  moments in time after doing almost well.
• 12:54
  I think this is episode 160. I remember that day like it was
• 12:57
  yesterday. It's.
• 12:58
  Just a zombie all. That stuff happened.
• 13:00
  Yeah, yeah. So if you don't know, we're
• 13:01
  talking about when can we? We were doing a show and and we
• 13:04
  had a guest that bailed that didn't show up.
• 13:06
  No call, no show. Much like right now.
• 13:08
  Yeah, kind of like. Astonished Entertainment, you
• 13:12
  know, so Mike and I were talking, it's like, you know,
• 13:13
  it's not that big a deal. You want to be on the show, just
• 13:15
  you got to be a living, breathing human being.
• 13:17
  And so Mike asked, what can you be?
• 13:18
  I think I asked, can it be a zombie?
• 13:19
  And Mike's like, well, you know, be hard to get a zombie on the
• 13:21
  show. So the irony of that is that
• 13:23
  that little real, for whatever reason, exploded.
• 13:26
  Just like the fuck ton went pretty much went viral.
• 13:28
  I mean it didn't get millions of views, but it got 10s of
• 13:31
  thousands. They're trying to say no one got
• 13:33
  the link, so let's see. Well, didn't you send it to a
• 13:36
  couple? Different.
• 13:36
  I sent it to. Everybody, man, I sent it to
• 13:38
  everybody. I invited them to the thing so
• 13:40
  they can say what they want, but I sent it to.
• 13:42
  Everybody I know this isn't your first rodeo.
• 13:44
  You've done this hundreds of times.
• 13:46
  The logistics. And of course, and of course
• 13:48
  they of course they wait for 24 minutes.
• 13:51
  After the show. OK, it's it's 9:00, the show
• 13:54
  starts and they wait till 9:24 and 9:25 to send those emails.
• 13:58
  I got you man, like you know my mind works the same way.
• 14:02
  I. Just on time is 10 minutes
• 14:04
  early, right? So when I was, when I logged on,
• 14:07
  here's how my mind works. Ladies and gentlemen, when I
• 14:09
  logged on at 9:55 today, I was 5 minutes late.
• 14:13
  Yeah, right. So I'm starting to get anxious.
• 14:15
  I'm starting to get a little anxiety because I like to be 10
• 14:18
  minutes early for everything. I actually like to be 15 minutes
• 14:21
  early for everything. It just helps me maintain calm,
• 14:24
  right? Some people are fine pushing the
• 14:26
  punching in every day at one minute till that doesn't bother
• 14:29
  him a bit right? That would ruin my whole day so
• 14:32
  I'm just reinforcing that. You gotta be on time, man.
• 14:36
  Yeah, yeah. And the fact that I sent them
• 14:38
  both the link inside the studio as well is kind of just
• 14:41
  economical. It's like OK.
• 14:43
  I guess actually I'm reinforcing your point that the right time
• 14:47
  to send that message would have been 5 minutes to 9:00.
• 14:51
  Right. Or at 9:00 itself instead of
• 14:54
  waiting cuz. So now I've sent them the.
• 14:55
  E-mail, I sent it to their e-mail directly and I sent
• 14:58
  invited them both to the link of Riverside.
• 15:00
  So we'll see if if these people actually show up again again,
• 15:05
  second time that they were supposed to be on the show, you
• 15:07
  know, last time they just no call, no show.
• 15:10
  So anyway, why we're potentially waiting for them?
• 15:12
  Did you see that that Netflix is buying?
• 15:15
  HBO and somebody else like they're buying billion brothers.
• 15:19
  Warner Brothers, Warner Brothers and and HBO for $87 billion.
• 15:25
  Yeah, that's crazy. It's it's insane my things just
• 15:28
  trying to Recon to reconnect, but I'm good right?
• 15:30
  I'm at 97%. Yeah, it might actually be mine.
• 15:33
  No, you're at 99. I'm at 97, according to the
• 15:36
  sidebar. Who knows?
• 15:37
  Who knows what it's doing? Yeah. 97 billion or 87 billion?
• 15:41
  Dollars for that shit man did. You see?
• 15:44
  That's gonna change a no, That's gonna change the face of
• 15:46
  Hollywood because the Netflix is gonna be in control of all the
• 15:49
  movies that are coming out of Hollywood, not Warner Brothers
• 15:52
  anymore. Right, right.
• 15:53
  Well, that and the fact that that.
• 15:54
  So you have Amazon Prime, right? When you watch, do you watch
• 15:57
  Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime?
• 15:58
  Of course. OK, Does it suck?
• 16:00
  Does the feed suck? No, mine's perfect.
• 16:02
  OK, mine's constantly spends. The Internet.
• 16:06
  Okay, why have Starlink? Man, it doesn't matter.
• 16:08
  And I'll tell you why it's funny, you know, when Chris says
• 16:11
  that this podcast is real, raw and relevant.
• 16:13
  This is a true fucking story. And I couldn't make this up if I
• 16:17
  wanted to because I'm not. I'm not that creative.
• 16:20
  You are when it comes to making up stories.
• 16:22
  You're a storyteller. I swear to God, dude, I'm
• 16:24
  cooking dinner last night. And when I had Frontier, if
• 16:27
  you've listened to the 1st 50 episodes, 54 episodes of this
• 16:31
  podcast, you obviously know there was a 2 second delay
• 16:34
  between Chris and I. So that delay also carried
• 16:38
  forward into let's say I was watching a show in the living
• 16:41
  room and then I went in the bedroom to fold clothes or
• 16:44
  something. The further I got away from that
• 16:47
  initial link coming into the house, there was that delay
• 16:50
  inside here too. Really, even though it was ever
• 16:52
  so slight. So my point is you would have to
• 16:54
  go in the living room and mute the volume.
• 16:56
  Otherwise it would drive you crazy, right?
• 16:58
  Because you're hearing two different.
• 16:59
  So last night I'm watching football on my iPad while I'm
• 17:02
  cooking my dinner and I had the TV on in the living room.
• 17:05
  And I'm a curious person by nature.
• 17:07
  If you haven't figured that out by now, you haven't listened to
• 17:09
  enough episodes. I'm like, I wonder if that now
• 17:13
  that I have fiber optic, if it's In Sync, right, it's dead nuts
• 17:17
  In Sync. So now I can have the volume
• 17:19
  going anywhere in the house and right, all the TV's are synced
• 17:23
  up together because the speed is up to par.
• 17:26
  What I'm telling you is it's not Amazon Prime, it's your
• 17:29
  Internet. OK, OK, because their.
• 17:31
  Platform is the most stable in my opinion other than Netflix.
• 17:34
  Netflix is always going to be the king until everybody else
• 17:37
  gets up to speed. Yeah, you don't know what's
• 17:40
  funny about these people that are supposed to be on here 36
• 17:42
  minutes ago. They never responded to the text
• 17:45
  I sent though. What did you say at 9:55?
• 17:48
  Oh no, no, at 8:55 or what time they send the text.
• 17:51
  I don't think I sent the text at 8.
• 17:52
  I said probably send it 10 minutes late after because I
• 17:54
  gave them some grace. 9-O59-O5 still has not responded to that.
• 17:59
  So anyway, fuckers, I post. I posted this thing on our
• 18:02
  Facebook page. The top the the debut albums.
• 18:04
  You can only keep five. I know you commented on it.
• 18:06
  I comment so. It was tough.
• 18:09
  Dios, Holy diver, this is your boss.
• 18:11
  No, no, no. This is the five.
• 18:12
  This is the albums I want, people.
• 18:14
  I'm going to. Yeah.
• 18:14
  So Dio's holy diver Hell, I just.
• 18:18
  Go to the Facebook page and do it.
• 18:19
  It'll be easier that. It was tough to pick from that
• 18:21
  list. But right, it's I, and I got it
• 18:23
  from Neander, Paul. I almost, you know, every album
• 18:26
  on that list. Yeah.
• 18:27
  So for those you don't know, Neander Paul was a disc jockey
• 18:29
  in Arizona. I did some advertising when when
• 18:31
  he was on KDKB. He was my my voice guy from my
• 18:34
  real estate commercials. And we just kind of became
• 18:36
  friends. So as you can see right now, I'm
• 18:38
  sharing the screen. So these are the, these are,
• 18:40
  these are debut albums that kind of changed the face of music,
• 18:43
  right? For their genres.
• 18:44
  You can only keep. So you got Holy Diver from Dio,
• 18:47
  Blizzard of Oz from Ozzy Poison. What's that?
• 18:50
  Look at the cat drag. OK, OK, Iron Maiden Killers.
• 18:53
  I'm pretty sure that's the Killers album.
• 18:55
  OK, OK. And then and then Wasp.
• 18:57
  Mötley Crüe, Rat Bon Jovis, Metallica, Tesla, Guns and
• 19:02
  Roses. I don't know who that one is
• 19:03
  right here. Who's that one?
• 19:05
  Which one are you playing at The the icon I.
• 19:09
  I think that's the name of the band.
• 19:10
  I didn't, okay, I did not own that album.
• 19:12
  That's the. I didn't know what that was
• 19:14
  either, dude. We'll look that one up, yeah.
• 19:15
  Icon. Yeah, that's the Killers album
• 19:17
  from Iron Maiden. Okay, L.A.
• 19:19
  Guns, Skid Row, Cinderella and warrant.
• 19:21
  So I ended up going with with. Cinderella album was great too
• 19:25
  man. Right.
• 19:26
  I did. Metallica, Tesla.
• 19:28
  Guns and Roses, Ozzy. And we were close, man.
• 19:31
  We were close, Dio, I think I said.
• 19:33
  None. Did I do a deal?
• 19:34
  It was hard throwing that wasp out.
• 19:36
  Yeah, too, man, I love. Right, right, right.
• 19:39
  I gotta say I did it on the interpulse page, so I'd have to
• 19:41
  go look on his page and see what I picked.
• 19:42
  But yeah, that's a really good. It's a really good.
• 19:45
  I mean, think of. Oh rat Rat was the one because
• 19:47
  rat. I love that out man rat.
• 19:49
  That's, that's amazing riffs man.
• 19:50
  Robin Crosby. Could just dude he had was a
• 19:53
  good guitar player. Man, Warren D Martini too.
• 19:55
  Yeah, they were one of the best live bands I ever saw too.
• 19:59
  Yeah. Oh, I don't doubt that.
• 20:01
  I mean, people give Steven Pearcey slack too because he
• 20:03
  didn't talk to the crowd. But not all singers talk to the
• 20:06
  crowd, right? Not all singers talk to the
• 20:07
  crowd. Not just because your singer
• 20:09
  doesn't mean it's your complete extrovert.
• 20:11
  It's just something you do. Not all singers are like me and
• 20:13
  like. Hey everybody, how you?
• 20:14
  Doing like, if you look at I saw Guns and Roses, I think 3 Times
• 20:18
  Now. The second time I saw them was
• 20:19
  with the Chinese Democracy, Axel said.
• 20:21
  Nothing to the crowd the whole show.
• 20:22
  He'd come out and sing, he'd be singing whatever song they were
• 20:25
  doing and then when he was when his part was done, he'd leave
• 20:28
  the stage. It was a weirdest thing.
• 20:30
  And then whatever music was going on once, that was almost
• 20:33
  time for him to come back and sing again.
• 20:34
  He came back out on the stage and sing wasn't changing
• 20:37
  clothes, wasn't doing anything. It was the weirdest thing.
• 20:40
  But you know what? I just watched that 1988 live at
• 20:44
  the Ritz on YouTube the other day, and he was shaking hands
• 20:47
  with the crowd and giving everybody high fives.
• 20:50
  And my first thought was, you have no idea how much you're
• 20:53
  going to change. Yeah, Yeah, you don't.
• 20:56
  And here's here's here's a fun little feedback from the.
• 21:00
  A band that was supposed to be on her 40 minutes ago.
• 21:02
  We need to. Reschedule this as Adam is now
• 21:04
  driving to an appointment so he's not on the computer.
• 21:07
  Well, Adam, you knew the show was from 9:00 to 10:00 just.
• 21:10
  Yeah, this was your appointment. This is a second time, so the
• 21:14
  response is going to be this, boys and girls.
• 21:16
  See how that works? Yeah, we're scheduling into
• 21:18
  January. It's not like we're desperate
• 21:20
  for a guest. Fucking idiots.
• 21:21
  It's just, you know, that ship has sailed.
• 21:24
  It's totally sailed and the fact that they, the fact that they
• 21:26
  did it twice. No, I just mean the fact that,
• 21:28
  you know, there was a time where we maybe would have given him a
• 21:31
  third chance because we had guests or we didn't have as many
• 21:35
  guests. But yeah, that ship has sailed,
• 21:37
  thankfully. Yeah, no, you're.
• 21:39
  Yeah. See ya.
• 21:40
  I'm not. It's just it's ridiculous, man.
• 21:42
  You don't. You don't.
• 21:43
  You don't make an appointment, then don't show up.
• 21:45
  I don't care who you are. No, this show wouldn't exist if
• 21:47
  we treated it like that. You know?
• 21:49
  Exactly. You have to honor your
• 21:51
  commitments. That's just you do.
• 21:53
  It's part of being an artist for sure.
• 21:55
  I mean, it's right. Biggest part of being an artist
• 21:57
  is honoring your commitments and treating it like a business.
• 22:00
  A lot of people find it fascinating that we practiced
• 22:03
  every day of the week, right? You guys didn't take any days
• 22:05
  off like once in a while, sure, but it wasn't like we scheduled
• 22:10
  two days off a week because you have to be better than the next
• 22:13
  guy. You got to be putting in the
• 22:14
  work and part. Of you don't show up.
• 22:17
  That's it. Part of putting in the work is
• 22:18
  showing up. Yeah, so.
• 22:20
  Why we're showing up? Because now we have we have some
• 22:22
  fun space. It's is the video my?
• 22:26
  My my neighbor, we have talked about it.
• 22:28
  I found it by accident the other day.
• 22:29
  I still had it. So this is the video.
• 22:31
  So that's Linda. She's walking into my garage.
• 22:34
  This person right here is Kristen Young.
• 22:36
  She's a neighbor. Are they from right across the
• 22:38
  street? Is that what I'm looking at?
• 22:39
  Trish. Trish and Linda live right
• 22:41
  there. Kristen, who is filming the
• 22:44
  whole entire thing. That's Linda.
• 22:45
  That's Trish. This is Kristen.
• 22:47
  She lives to the east. In a red.
• 22:49
  Trish Yeah. Who's filming the entire the
• 22:52
  entire thing of which all of these were given to the police.
• 22:57
  OK, all of them. I apply.
• 22:58
  I filed trespassing charges because not only did they come
• 23:01
  into my garage, they took where the cat was stuck and we had a
• 23:05
  we had a feral cats galore and never really set it up because
• 23:08
  we tried all the humane things possible.
• 23:09
  We're not don't hate cats and shit.
• 23:11
  So don't get all hating on me, but the feral cats are coming
• 23:13
  and. Doing their business in her yard
• 23:15
  and it was irritating. That's the cat straying away.
• 23:17
  So we had this feral cat trap that was open, not set, no bait,
• 23:21
  nothing. It was just open.
• 23:22
  So somehow that stupid cat got caught in it.
• 23:24
  They heard the cat screaming according to them.
• 23:27
  So they came in and let the cat out.
• 23:29
  They filmed the whole thing and according to them that justifies
• 23:32
  them trespassing and and damaging property.
• 23:35
  Whereas I was maybe 10 minutes away and I know I noticed the
• 23:39
  garage was disarrayed and I went in and I'm like, what's this
• 23:41
  about? Then I went and checked the
• 23:42
  cameras and lo and behold, there were the cameras.
• 23:45
  There's there was one video where Trish was actually
• 23:48
  standing at this corner right here and watching both
• 23:51
  directions for me to show up. So that's the asshole.
• 23:54
  Neighbors that I get to deal with did.
• 23:56
  The police look at the video. I gave them the video, they came
• 23:59
  and they came and talked to me and they're like do you want to
• 24:01
  press charges? I'm like absolutely.
• 24:02
  They trespassed. I have 3 signs because we were
• 24:04
  under construction and to cover my ass.
• 24:07
  One side said beware of doc. We have a dog.
• 24:09
  Next sign said no trespassing property is under surveillance
• 24:13
  24 hours a day. Because we were, We had.
• 24:15
  Contractors and stuff in and out all the time so.
• 24:17
  I had, I had everybody aware that the premises is being
• 24:21
  recorded and #3 it was another just general no trespassing
• 24:25
  sign. So much so why we were building
• 24:27
  the addition. This is true story.
• 24:29
  I'm sitting here working and something dawns on me to say I
• 24:31
  should look at the camera. So I opened up the camera feed.
• 24:33
  They're doing the spray foam insulation in the attic.
• 24:35
  OK, this kid that comes out of the service garage, right that
• 24:40
  we had this, this garage service door going to the backyard,
• 24:43
  jumps down, jumps down into the SRP pit.
• 24:46
  OK, SRP is our power source. My electrician had the trench
• 24:50
  what a 12 foot line? A 12 foot long trench with five
• 24:54
  foot circumference in the middle where SRP was met underground to
• 24:57
  the main panel of my house. So we had to dig that for SRP to
• 25:01
  come out, shut the power off and disconnect the original power
• 25:04
  and reconnect because we added another breaker.
• 25:07
  This kid from the spray foam company walks out the door,
• 25:11
  jumps into the pit, whips out his dingling and pisses on the
• 25:14
  wires. I catch this on video.
• 25:17
  OK, so I get up, right? I get up, I go out the backyard,
• 25:22
  I go into the garage. The kid is laying on his back on
• 25:25
  his phone now on on probably 15 sheets of drywall.
• 25:28
  And I was like, hey man, startled.
• 25:30
  Hey, man. Yeah, I'm like, did you notice
• 25:34
  the signs out front when you pulled up this morning?
• 25:37
  He's like, what do you mean? I was like, well, I just watched
• 25:40
  you on camera hop into the splice pit for SRP and piss on
• 25:45
  it. His face kind of goes white.
• 25:46
  He's like, no, I didn't. I says, dude, I have cameras.
• 25:49
  Would you like to see the video? I said, by the way, that house,
• 25:53
  which was a chain link fence, still has two kids that are
• 25:56
  like, I don't know, 8:00 and 5:00.
• 25:58
  So if they saw you do that, guess what?
• 26:00
  Now you have to register as a sex if I call the police because
• 26:03
  you ripped out your dangling to piss in my my SRP pit, which by
• 26:07
  the way is electricity. You're lucky you didn't kill
• 26:09
  yourself. I'm going to go ahead and reach
• 26:11
  out to your manager. So I sent the I sent the owner a
• 26:14
  video. The video.
• 26:15
  I was like, hey dude, is it your policy that your employees will
• 26:17
  just go and piss in somebody's backyard do tricked out?
• 26:20
  This is the other part of the true story.
• 26:21
  It was supposed to cost about 8 grand for spray installation.
• 26:24
  You had to pay like 1500 bucks from the start.
• 26:26
  They never sent me a bill. Never.
• 26:28
  I called them up and you. Never got a bill at all.
• 26:30
  No, no, I called and, and the dude, the dude that was in the
• 26:35
  attic spraying, he comes down when he's done, he's like, hey,
• 26:37
  man, I, I heard what happened. You know, I, I've sprayed some
• 26:40
  more for you. I did a little extra blah, blah,
• 26:42
  blah, blah, blah. I'm like, that's cool.
• 26:44
  So about a week goes by, don't get a bill.
• 26:45
  So I e-mail him. I'm like, hey, I'm waiting for
• 26:47
  my final bill. You guys are done nothing.
• 26:49
  Another couple weeks go by hey, for my final bill like nothing.
• 26:52
  They have never reached out to me since they've never
• 26:54
  communicated me since how long ago?
• 26:56
  Let's face it, when we were building the addition so two
• 26:59
  years ago. So they, but they, I mean, you
• 27:03
  know. Well, you had how?
• 27:04
  Do you? I mean, if I could see and I
• 27:06
  could have been one of those assholes and posted this thing
• 27:08
  on social media like. Crazy.
• 27:09
  Hey, this company, why you never got a bill?
• 27:12
  Because they know that you're a long standing business owner in
• 27:16
  the community. Maybe not only are you well,
• 27:20
  they look at that shit. I'm sure.
• 27:21
  Being a real estate agent, man, you could ruin that company and
• 27:25
  they know that. Yeah, yeah.
• 27:27
  So. Good on them, though.
• 27:28
  I mean, yeah. Here's some.
• 27:31
  Maybe if we don't say anything, he won't say anything.
• 27:33
  Right, so here's some here's some comments for the top five
• 27:36
  debut. I'm just going to keep William
• 27:37
  Chandler says I don't think it's even close, but kill them all.
• 27:40
  Buzzard of Oz appetite for destruction.
• 27:42
  Choosing 4 to 4 to 5 might might be a little harder, but I'm
• 27:47
  leaning towards Rat deal and Maiden.
• 27:49
  Nice job Mike Michaels. I know that guy.
• 27:52
  He says Metallica tests like G&R, Ozzy and Maiden.
• 27:55
  Yeah, you don't know shit about music.
• 27:58
  That's what somebody told me on YouTube.
• 28:00
  By the way, before you go on to Patrick.
• 28:02
  Really. Yeah.
• 28:03
  Go back and see if you can find the comment.
• 28:05
  I got a kick out of this one. So real quick.
• 28:08
  We were talking about, I wish I could remember, we might have
• 28:11
  been talking to William. Anyway, we were talking about
• 28:13
  Eddie Van Halen and a video that I saw of him in the studio
• 28:19
  riding the Rift to Amsterdam, which later ended up on the
• 28:22
  Balance album, and I mentioned that he was, I used the word
• 28:27
  sucking. Maybe I should have said
• 28:29
  struggling, but somebody wrote me a whole paragraph that said
• 28:33
  yeah, listen, dude, in the 1980s, man, Eddie Van Halen
• 28:37
  never sucked. There's a difference between
• 28:39
  what we musicians call wood shopping and what you're calling
• 28:43
  sucking under no certain terms. Did Eddie Van Halen ever suck in
• 28:48
  the 1980s. Now, first of all, call them
• 28:50
  your tits, right? I've been playing guitar since I
• 28:53
  was nine years old. I'm 52.
• 28:55
  And nobody's, nobody's like Mike's not comparing himself to
• 28:57
  Eddie Van Halen by any way, shape or form.
• 28:59
  No, but I've known Eddie Long. I've known of, I've known of him
• 29:04
  long enough and read enough about him and seen him in
• 29:06
  interviews enough to know that if he were sitting here right
• 29:10
  now, he would say, yeah, I was. Sucking because you know,
• 29:12
  humility is humility. Doesn't matter who you are.
• 29:14
  No, it's the end product that means something, and the end
• 29:17
  product was a legendary guitar player.
• 29:20
  But at that moment in time, he was clearly struggling to get
• 29:23
  the next part of that song done, and he could barely play the
• 29:26
  part that he had. He was.
• 29:27
  So it was his exuberance for the idea that was causing him to
• 29:32
  struggle. He could hear what he wanted to
• 29:34
  do. His hands wouldn't do it yet.
• 29:36
  Right, right. That's that's with everything.
• 29:38
  That's what that's a musician. That's what we all struggle
• 29:40
  with. I can hear a melody in my head.
• 29:41
  I can, I can write a a verse and think, holy shit, this is going
• 29:45
  to be the greatest song ever. And then I stop at the at the
• 29:47
  end of the first verse because the muse stops.
• 29:50
  I don't go back and force to finish that because if you
• 29:52
  forced to finish it, it's not going to be as captivating as
• 29:55
  the first voice I wrote. So unless it just it really
• 29:58
  flows out of my my soul, I don't continue writing.
• 30:01
  I don't force write anything. You don't force write anything
• 30:04
  on a guitar. If you hear it, you're going to
• 30:06
  you're going to fuck around to the point to where you got to
• 30:08
  find it. You know, you're sucking,
• 30:10
  struggling, whatever. Sure, you and you'll eventually
• 30:13
  find it if it's meant to be found because I think people
• 30:16
  that force it, it doesn't come across, it doesn't fit.
• 30:20
  It just doesn't fit anymore. If you're forcing something, it
• 30:22
  doesn't. I know.
• 30:22
  In my opinion anyway. No, that's never all said.
• 30:25
  Yeah. And I think there's plenty of
• 30:26
  times where you hear something in your head that you have to
• 30:29
  teach your voice to do, right, Right.
• 30:32
  Like your creativity of your mind outweighs the physical
• 30:37
  ability of your voice or your hand.
• 30:39
  Sometimes, you know, your physical motor skills have to
• 30:43
  get up to speed, to the speed of your brain, your brains working
• 30:46
  infinitely faster than a computer.
• 30:48
  Right, Right. Right.
• 30:50
  Right. It's, yeah, it's, it's, it's
• 30:51
  like walking backwards. So when I said.
• 30:54
  Doing this and chewing bubble gum, yeah, you know, at the same
• 30:57
  time. When I said that, I was clearly
• 30:59
  not saying that Eddie Van Halen ever sucked as a guitar player.
• 31:02
  I said at that moment in time, if you were sitting next to him,
• 31:06
  he'd be like, damn, I'm having a rough day.
• 31:09
  You know, I'm trying to get this idea out.
• 31:12
  That's what that's what I meant to say was that his exuberance
• 31:15
  for what he heard in his head far outweighed his ability to
• 31:18
  physically do so. I apologize and I got called out
• 31:22
  and I was wrong about this. To the person that commented
• 31:25
  that the last time the Bears were in the Super Bowl was 2006,
• 31:29
  not 2016, you are 1,000,000% correct my friend.
• 31:32
  So thank you for calling me out on that.
• 31:34
  So back to the top. Five albums of all the time.
• 31:36
  Debbie, I just got to keep Patrick Franklin.
• 31:39
  Patrick Franklin, Aussie rap, Metallica, Mötley Crüe and Skid
• 31:41
  Row. So that was the hard thing about
• 31:43
  Skid Row because I mean, you talk about a debut album, right?
• 31:45
  And I'm surprised like 10's not on there because really 10
• 31:48
  should be on there. It looked like he kept it to
• 31:50
  early 80s to mid to late 80s. Oh, that's true.
• 31:53
  Probably true. OK, so Bob Bishop starts with
• 31:57
  because of things that they go by Jovi, Cinderella, Tesla,
• 32:00
  Poison and Guns and Roses. Eustis, Joseph Dio, Ozzie Made
• 32:04
  Metallica Skid Row. Former podcast guest Joseph.
• 32:08
  What up Joseph, Jill Kissel, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Poison, Tesla
• 32:12
  and Ozzie, Maggie Mae, Ozzie Dio Maiden Rat and G&R Joseph Cloud
• 32:17
  Dio Ozzie Maiden Rat. Metallica.
• 32:19
  What up Joe? Hey, Joe and Dennis, Patrick,
• 32:22
  Ozzie, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Rat and G&R.
• 32:25
  That's what we got so far. It's hard to argue with any of
• 32:27
  those because music is subjective.
• 32:29
  Everybody likes something different.
• 32:30
  All those albums are great debut albums.
• 32:33
  Unless you just hate Guns and Roses, it's almost impossible to
• 32:37
  leave that album off that list, because if it's not the best
• 32:40
  selling debut album of all time, it has to be pretty close.
• 32:43
  Well, Mike, let's just go to Google Machine.
• 32:45
  I know it used to be Boston, but I think it got overtaken by
• 32:48
  something and I can't remember. I want to say it was appetite
• 32:51
  for destruction. Of course it comes.
• 32:53
  Up with the top 100 because you just can't do #1 when I asked
• 32:57
  #1. Did you say debut?
• 32:58
  No, I said. But that's I said the 100.
• 33:01
  Well, Rolling Stones has 100 best debut albums of all time.
• 33:04
  That's not what I asked for. I said best selling best.
• 33:06
  Selling best selling debut album of all time.
• 33:08
  Albums away Top five selling debut albums of all time.
• 33:11
  OK, top five. Mariah Carey's There is no, I'm

  That's not what I want, man. Come on.
• 33:18
  Just fucking give me the list, man.
• 33:20
  Yeah, that's all we're asking. For understand why just OK
• 33:24

• 33:28
  Top 10 best selling debut. It starts with with why doesn't
• 33:31

• 33:39
  Actually, backstreet lows bad out of hell.

  Boston 20 million Hootie and the Blowfish 21 million Whitney.
• 33:50

• 33:55
  Hold on, I'm not done yet. Britney Spears 25,000,000 Linkin
• 33:58
  Park 30 million, which is surprising.
• 34:00
  Guns N' Roses 30 million and that's it.
• 34:04
  So, so now it's now you're saying meatloaf?
• 34:07
  Yeah, Bat out of Hell sold almost double.
• 34:09
  Was that debut though? Was that his debut?
• 34:12
  Yeah, bat out of hell. Because it doesn't.
• 34:13
  It's not on the list. Man that's weird, I'm a good
• 34:16
  Googler. Dude I just typed in best
• 34:18
  selling debut album of all time and that's what popped up.
• 34:20

• 34:23

  Holy shit. In Australia it went 26 times
• 34:48
  platinum. In the UK it was certified 12
• 34:50
  times platinum. Because Netherlands.
• 34:51
  Because the one time plan. Numbers.
• 34:54
  It's not a million in each country.
• 34:57
  Australia is 1.8 million, the K is 3.6 million.
• 35:02
  Copies sold. Yeah, I don't know.
• 35:05
  Yeah, Australia is for 28 times. Platinum in Australia is 1.82
• 35:09
  million copies sold. Right, so that means I got you
• 35:12
  OK in Australia you probably want. 100. 1000 albums.
• 35:16
  I got you. I got you.
• 35:17
  I got you. I got you.
• 35:19
  Sorry. The numbers change.
• 35:20
  I It's not a million in every country.
• 35:22
  I didn't know I got you longest time.
• 35:24
  OK. Yeah, but that's a very
• 35:25
  important statistic you need to know.
• 35:27
  Yeah, yeah. Oh, here's the good one.
• 35:29
  Best selling album trilogy at Meatloaf 55,000,000 units sold
• 35:35
  for bat out of hell and bat out of hell 2 and back in the hell.
• 35:38
  So bat out of hell back in the hell and bat.
• 35:40
  Trilogy would be 3 albums. Yep, Yep.
• 35:42
  I'm just thinking she's dumb. I am.
• 35:45
  Did you see? Did you see?
• 35:46
  I graduated. Assisting Gears of sports as you
• 35:50
  see the queen of flop. Broke his streak of 10 points.
• 35:53
  Scored every game last night. Yeah, he only scored eight
• 35:56
  points last night. How many games was it for like?
• 35:59
  Streak, it was, it was significant.
• 36:01
  It was significant. It was.
• 36:02
  It was an impressive. It's got to be a lot.
• 36:05
  But he's just playing for, he's playing for numbers now.
• 36:07
  He's not playing of anything else.
• 36:12
  They won by three. Oh, LeBron James.
• 36:16
  A streak of 1297 games with at least 10 points comes to an end
• 36:21
  because he only scored 8. That's a lot of games in a.
• 36:24
  Row agreed, but that doesn't count.
• 36:25
  But it doesn't see what I don't. I don't.
• 36:27
  Believe and I and I've I've said this.
• 36:29
  Before, if you miss a game or games because of injury, then
• 36:33
  your consecutive streak ends. Point example, right?
• 36:35
  Eli played consecutive games in his tire crew.
• 36:37
  He missed one because McAdoo benched him for Geno Smith.
• 36:40
  That's why there's different statistics there's.
• 36:42
  Right. But so hold on.
• 36:43
  Right. But hold on, hold on.
• 36:45
  Sorry, Sorry, sorry, sorry. There's a statistic kept for
• 36:48
  most consecutive games played, and then there's streaks for
• 36:51
  most games played with. It's how you it's how you define
• 36:56
  the statistic. So for LeBron, his streak was if
• 37:00
  he was in the game, he scored more than 10 points.
• 37:02
  OK, the word consecutive, there's statistics kept for most
• 37:06
  consecutive games played. And in that Eli was a Iron Man,
• 37:11
  right? He was.
• 37:11
  And I agree with you that that is a more impressive statistic
• 37:15
  to me that a guy suits up and goes out there for 500 games in
• 37:19
  a row, or however many he played, than to say in 500
• 37:23
  games. He threw 2 touchdown passes in
• 37:26
  all 500 of those games, but he didn't play in 300 of them.
• 37:29
  Right. Yeah, that's my point.
• 37:31
  I don't. I agree with you, I just want
• 37:33
  those listeners to be clear that they do keep 2 sets of
• 37:37
  statistics. One is consecutive's game.
• 37:39
  They keep statistics on everything, right?
• 37:42
  You know that now from just going through your betting amp,
• 37:44
  It's like you can bet on everything.
• 37:46
  Is the guy got picked the left side of his nostril or the right
• 37:48
  side of his nostril? Speaking of betting, let's see
• 37:51
  if I what I did yesterday. When if I did anything?
• 37:53
  Before I know I lost because my dumb ass thought the Cowboys
• 37:55
  were rolling and come on, Detroit told me I'm in Ross St.
• 37:58
  Brown wasn't playing and he did. That would have changed my mind.
• 38:01
  I only, I only, I only. Bet one thing I.
• 38:04
  Had this I had this fun little. Parlay going for basketball
• 38:09
  tonight. These all have to win.
• 38:11
  Knicks, Cavaliers, Pistons, Raptors, Grizzlies and Rockets
• 38:14
  all have to win. Are they all money wine bets?
• 38:17
  Just straight up win. Yeah, yeah, $2.00 gets me $33 if
• 38:23
  that one plans out. So I hope and the one I did last
• 38:26
  night, which is irritating. OK I did a three an in game
• 38:29
  parlay. And I don't understand this
• 38:31
  like, oh, is he a ranch? So Jeremy Gibbs, the running
• 38:33
  back for the for the Lions. As like 81 yards rushing, dude
• 38:38
  had like, I don't know, almost 100 yards receiving and like 20
• 38:42
  yards rushing. I'm like fucking killing me
• 38:43
  smalls. And then David Montgomery only
• 38:48
  caught one pass and DAC threw for 250 plus yards that would
• 38:52
  have. I forgot what I would pay me
• 38:54
  some insane amount of money. Did you see that hit that CD
• 38:57
  took to his head? No, but I saw the aftermath of
• 39:00
  it today and somebody was, somebody was talking about.
• 39:03
  It was the same thing with Tua Tagli Avula a couple years ago.
• 39:05
  The. Whole weight of his head hit the
• 39:08
  ground first. Yeah, and he was just.
• 39:10
  Bounced off the turf and then the rest of his body hit.
• 39:13
  Yeah. Yeah, it was.
• 39:14
  It was. Violent dude, yeah, that's just
• 39:16
  crazy. But that's.
• 39:17
  When they get paid about the team.
• 39:19
  It is, but yeah, it just shows you.
• 39:21
  I don't know, is it really worth it?
• 39:23
  Well, but see, and that goes back to the Giants.
• 39:25
  The last Giants game that we talked about last time they were
• 39:28
  they were they drilled Jackson Dart in the Bears game.
• 39:31
  Hi, Mikey. They drilled Jackson dart to the
• 39:33
  fact that his helmet came off. They didn't throw a.
• 39:36
  Flat What up, Mike? Everything's well, Mike.
• 39:38
  We had a. A a band scheduled today from
• 39:40
  some stupid ass entertainment company that there was their
• 39:42
  third second opportunity and they choked and at 9:24 they
• 39:46
  decided to respond to my emails that I sent them at 9:00 or
• 39:49
  8:50. So that's why they.
• 39:50
  Will not be having a day named after them, Mikey.
• 39:53
  They will not all not be having a day.
• 39:55
  There will be no Michael Castillo Day.
• 39:57
  No, there would not be a Michael Steele.
• 39:59
  And I have your Christopher Walken impression is going to
• 40:02
  drop on TikTok in the next week. Just be aware of that.
• 40:05
  Mikey did a really good impression of Chris.
• 40:07
  Walking. Was awesome.
• 40:09
  And so that's going to drop on TikTok for the Michael Castillo
• 40:12
  Day, October 28th, right? Yep, October 28th is Michael.
• 40:15
  It's a day. That will live.
• 40:16
  In infamy, as long as the Chris and Mike show is around, October
• 40:20
  28th is the Michael Castillo Day.
• 40:22
  We love Michael Castillo Day. And you got to say like that.
• 40:25
  Michael Castillo. Michael Castillo, because, you
• 40:27
  know, he's a political refugee from Cuba.
• 40:29
  Not really. Not really.
• 40:30
  And we're still having fun. And now you're here.
• 40:33
  Do you follow Peter Klett on? I do and I keep messaging.
• 40:37
  Do you see that Beavis and Butt head?
• 40:38
  Yes, yes, I forgot that brought back.
• 40:41
  That brought me back to Scouch in my apartment at Metro Village
• 40:44
  like it was yesterday. I had totally forgotten that
• 40:47
  they did the changes and as soon as I saw it.
• 40:50
  It's just funny how music snaps you right back to where you were
• 40:53
  at home in time, you know? It's, it's, it's, yeah.
• 40:55
  So Michael Anthony, I don't know if you saw that, but he liked my
• 40:59
  comment about coming on the show like, well, come on the show.
• 41:01
  Like that part? Come on.
• 41:03
  Yeah, Come on, man. Just come on the show.
• 41:05
  Like you, Sammy. Sammy's family liked my comment.
• 41:07
  Sammy, his daughter, his son. Like you, liked my comment.
• 41:11
  So. If any of them want to come on
• 41:13
  the show, they're more than welcome to.
• 41:15
  Right, right. And they'll show up unlike one
• 41:17
  of these that, that make scheduled appointments and, and
• 41:20
  don't you know, fuckers that just chest my hide, chest my
• 41:24
  hide man. I gave you 2 opportunities and
• 41:26
  he's just you just, you know, terrible, terrible.
• 41:28
  Terrible, terrible, terrible. It's ridiculous, ridiculous,
• 41:31
  ridiculous people, ridiculous. It's not that hard, man.
• 41:34
  It's not that hard. So, so it's kind of funny.
• 41:36
  So I, I point out that it's Nikki's birthday's tomorrow,
• 41:39
  right? And so people are chiming.
• 41:41
  People are, well, people are chiming in today.
• 41:42
  Happy birthday. No, it's tomorrow, man.
• 41:44
  It's tomorrow. I hate when people it's like
• 41:47
  it's those are the same people that try to go in through the
• 41:50
  outdoor. Yeah, it's tomorrow, man.
• 41:52
  Or it clearly says pull and they push.
• 41:55
  Right, it says in less than 24 hours this amazing woman, my
• 41:57
  queen, my best friend, my lover, my wife, will have completed
• 42:00
  another trip around the sun. We met on our 20th birthday 31
• 42:03
  years ago tomorrow, first date a few months later.
• 42:05
  The rest is history. It's tomorrow, man.
• 42:07
  Tomorrow. Not today, tomorrow.
• 42:09
  It's not like you're not going to be on Facebook tomorrow,
• 42:11
  people. Right.
• 42:12
  Well, unless I get unless a bus falls from the sky, you know
• 42:15
  which you never know, I've. Forgot for this.
• 42:17
  Right, right. And that'd be a pretty cool
• 42:19
  story if a bus fell from the sky and crushed me like a bulb, that
• 42:23
  would be pretty cool. Oh, oh, the last survivor from
• 42:26
  USS Arizona has passed away and and they and they took three
• 42:31
  remains, went deep sea diving and put them down with his
• 42:34
  fellowship mates that passed on that dark Day in History.
• 42:37
  Does it say how old they were? Let's see, let's see, let's see.
• 42:41
  If it's not painfully obvious, I'm not that 5. 75 years ago.
• 42:44
  I was going to say he can't be 75, he'd have to be 100 and
• 42:47
  something. Well, I mean, 75 years he was
• 42:50
  probably not. He could be 18, right?
• 42:52
  OK, yeah. So maybe 90 in his 90s, He he
• 42:55
  refused to leave the burning. Yeah, until he could find his
• 42:58
  twin brother. So here's the story.
• 43:00
  U.S. Navy divers performed the sacred
• 43:02
  duty of escorting the final remains of Boatsman's Mates
• 43:06
  Second Class John D Anderson returning this true American
• 43:09
  hero to the hallowed wreck of the USS Arizona 75 years ago
• 43:12
  today. John refused to leave the
• 43:14
  burning ship until he could find his twin brother, Delbert.
• 43:18
  He's one of the last men who survived carrying his profound
• 43:21
  sorrow of separation off or a lifetime of service and
• 43:24
  resilience. He couldn't find his brother.
• 43:25
  That no agonizing wait ends. John's ashes now rest with with
• 43:30
  turret for finally reunited with the brother he he never stopped
• 43:34
  searching for the promise kept he he sleeps within the 1777
• 43:39
  crewmates who still stand. Silent Watch.
• 43:42
  That that's just, that's way sad.
• 43:45
  I can't even imagine. No, no SD, that poor guy went
• 43:49
  through the rest of his life. Right.
• 43:51
  Wow. Just.
• 43:52
  Nightmare after nightmare. Yeah, that's just.
• 43:55
  Not very many things. You know, hit me.
• 43:58
  That hit me a little bit there. I'm with you.
• 44:00
  Not many things. I know what you're saying.
• 44:01
  Not many things hit me on a level where that just did
• 44:04
  because you can imagine, you know, you think you're going to,
• 44:07
  I'm going to save him. I'm going to save him.
• 44:09
  And then you have to make a decision.
• 44:12
  At some point, I have to save myself, right?
• 44:14
  That's where we're at. So I can't imagine that moment
• 44:17
  in time knowing he's going to die and I'm going to live and
• 44:21
  now I have to live with that for the rest of my life.
• 44:23
  Right, so I have to share this because this is funny.
• 44:26
  This is gonna change the mood. I like funny way better.
• 44:29
  As I was scrolling, as I was scrolling, I came across this
• 44:32
  meme. The top pictures a boy sleeping
• 44:34
  with several Barbie dolls and now he's sleeping with some real
• 44:37
  life Barbie dolls. Never give up.
• 44:40
  Fight, fight for your dreams. That comes courtesy Brian John
• 44:44
  Roof. Thank you, Brian.
• 44:45
  Love it. A boy in his dreams.
• 44:47
  A boy in his dreams never give up.
• 44:49
  That's funny, not gonna lie. I've had similar dreams at one
• 44:53
  time. I think all boys had that dream
• 44:55
  at one time. That's awesome.
• 44:57
  That's fantastic. Here's if this one goes out.
• 45:00
  This one goes out to you, Mike, right here.
• 45:02
  Hold on your record, you'll, you'll love this.
• 45:04
  What is it -3°? There you go.
• 45:06
  It was -3°. There you go.
• 45:08
  That's for Mike. Yeah, it's kind of here's the
• 45:11
  equivalent that you would be able to totally relate to.
• 45:15
  So, OK, if we flip the thermometer, I was going to say
• 45:18
  the thermostat trying to sound smart.
• 45:21
  Yeah, If we flip the thermostat around, if we flip the
• 45:24
  thermometer around and we're in Arizona, people say, well,
• 45:27
  what's the difference between 100, 110?
• 45:29
  Yeah, a lot. Yeah, there's not much of a
• 45:31
  difference after it gets to 110. Maybe a slight difference after
• 45:35
  115, but the difference between 20 and 0 is significant.
• 45:41
  It is absolutely. So circling back to the USS.
• 45:45
  Arizona guy? There it is.
• 45:46
  He was 20 years old when he was on the ship.
• 45:48
  Besides close, I said 18, right? Yeah, he would have been.
• 45:52
  There it is, 100 and 202. No 102.
• 45:54
  He's 20 when he's on the ship. I I'm assuming 28 something with
• 45:57
  him in the middle picture of 28 years old and an age 102.
• 46:00
  But that's who he was. That's the one that missed his
• 46:03
  lost his twin brother. That's crazy, man.
• 46:05
  Yeah, he lived 102 years. Boy, you're gonna like this.
• 46:11
  One of our favorite guests of all time.
• 46:13
  Hold on, hold on. Guess who's continuing climbing
• 46:16
  the independent charts? Dwayne Parker.
• 46:18
  Nope. Dwayne Parker.
• 46:19
  Lil Wayne's climbing Dwayne Parker.
• 46:21
  You know, there he is, I mean. Crazy is just part of life for
• 46:26
  Parker. What it says Crazy is just part
• 46:28
  of life for Parker. Earlier this summer, Parker's
• 46:30
  song Three More Sets debuted in May at the Cashbox Music
• 46:34
  Independent Country charts at #83 In June it was at 67, then
• 46:37
  423730 and most recently. #20 Way to go, Dwayne.
• 46:41
  But. If yeah.
• 46:43
  At least from me. My trucks on crack is your hit.
• 46:46
  Exactly, exactly. So if you don't know Dwayne
• 46:49
  Parker, go to the YouTube and type in My Truck's on Crack, you
• 46:52
  know, which would be kind of cool if our show popped up
• 46:54

• 46:56
  Truck's on crack. It's the shots.
• 46:58
  You must be a genius. Your girlfriend's an Angel, but

• 47:04
  Yep, Yep. Oh, my girlfriend took my truck
• 47:06
  and had my tools in it. Does a great story.
• 47:08
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 47:09
  It's just like, I think she's cheating on you.
• 47:12
  No, she's an Angel, right? Yes.
• 47:19
  Do yourself a favor and go watch that clip.
• 47:21
  That guy's not only is he a great songwriter, he's a great
• 47:24
  storyteller too. And he's and he's got a good.
• 47:26
  Voice. He's got a really good voice for
• 47:28
  for what he for what his. I keep describing it to people
• 47:32
  as the original outlaw Country. Yeah Voice.
• 47:36
  It's that Waylon Willie. Yeah.
• 47:39
  Those guys knew how to deliver that outlaw country message, you
• 47:43
  know. Yeah, they did.
• 47:44
  Hank. Hank Junior, all those guys.
• 47:46
  Yep. Bitch.
• 47:47
  Yeah, we got to get Dwayne back on.
• 47:49
  He's been traveling around quite a bit.
• 47:50
  Yeah, he has. He's been playing shows and
• 47:52
  shit. So yeah, definitely.
• 47:54
  He's a fun guy, you know, I have.
• 47:56
  Another proud moment to report. OK for my original Spotify for
• 48:00
  my personal one. Yep, your top song for 2025 was
• 48:05
  Dave Noodles, The Lord or the Devil?
• 48:07
  Just to prove Dave that I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass.
• 48:11
  There it is, right there on the screen #1 that's the most song.
• 48:15
  And I didn't meet Dave until 3/4 of the way through 2025.
• 48:19
  So that's how many times I've listened to it, right?
• 48:22
  That that's the whole year. Yeah.
• 48:23
  So maybe I do get credit for every time I listen to it.
• 48:26
  I thought you only got it once a day, but I listen to it a lot.
• 48:29
  Dave. Yeah, that's a great.
• 48:30
  That's a good song. It's a good song, man.
• 48:32
  And I think Dwayne is currently re recording a bunch of his
• 48:35
  stuff too, so he should be releasing some new songs here
• 48:38
  pretty soon too if I've read all that right.
• 48:40
  Sorry, multitasking. All right, You boys and girls.
• 48:43
  Yeah, Dwayne Dwayne's a good dude.
• 48:45
  I would love to have Dwayne back on.
• 48:47
  I'm sure he would come back on. How could you not want to come
• 48:49
  back on our show, man? Like with the Chris and Mike

  I got There you go, boys and girls, Right on.

  Chris thought I would. Chris thought that was all

  I got it. I just wanted you to see it
• 49:32
  because you were talking, you know?
• 49:34
  I appreciate that man, Always looking out.
• 49:37
  Always. Looking out and had we not
• 49:39
  developed that relationship with Mikey over the chat, we would
• 49:44
  never had Michael Castillo day right.
• 49:46
  That's that's yeah, Mike is a good guy, dude.
• 49:48
  Oh, so here. That episode, Go ahead, fawn
• 49:50
  man. OK, so here's here's I'm not
• 49:52
  getting political. I don't care if Jake was here, I
• 49:56
  could have him do the voice. President Trump with the birth
• 49:58
  of Jesus. With the birth of Jesus, human
• 50:00
  history turned from night to day.
• 50:02
  His word and his example call to us to love one another, serve
• 50:06
  one another. Okay.
• 50:08
  Did you actually listen to what you said there, Trump?
• 50:10
  Well, he's just reading from whatever is on that piece of
• 50:13
  paper because he was never a Christian until he ran for
• 50:16
  president. So.
• 50:17
  Right. Oh so.
• 50:18
  Not my words, that's a fact. No, I know.
• 50:20
  Yeah, yeah. He also was never a Republican.
• 50:22
  He was a Democrat. People are strange, man.
• 50:24
  People are strange when you're a stranger.
• 50:26
  People get ugly when you so John Elway documentaries coming on
• 50:30
  Netflix December 22nd. That should be interesting.
• 50:33
  That should be interesting. John Elway.
• 50:35
  John. John Elway.
• 50:36
  Good documentaries on the net Geo channel right now.
• 50:39
  They just released a 2 hour day or a year on Mars.
• 50:46
  So we just sent the most high-powered camera to Mars and
• 50:51
  it's completed its first revolution around the planet
• 50:54
  orbit. That's the word I was looking
• 50:56
  for. Cool.
• 50:56
  So while it was doing that, they documented and or they made this
• 51:01
  documentary, right? And obviously these are images
• 51:04
  that human beings have never seen before.
• 51:06
  The imagery is incredible, man. I've watched it twice now.
• 51:09
  Wait. On I want to be, I want to be
• 51:11
  fair and. Share a A a.
• 51:13
  Kamala Harris quote. Just to.
• 51:15
  Be physic, you know, just to be fair, and I quote, you know,
• 51:18
  it's cold outside when you go outside and it's cold.
• 51:21
  Kamala Harris. Well.
• 51:22
  Yeah, now I'm going to. Show you this, you could
• 51:24
  attribute. That quote to anybody you wanted
• 51:26
  because people have said that for 1000 years.
• 51:28
  Right. But Kamala Harris said it.
• 51:30
  I saw it was on the Internet and it was there.
• 51:33
  So now. So it is so check this out Who
• 51:35
  does The Who does The Who does the guy say because you need
• 51:38
  verified reviews Look like you right.
• 51:41
  I showed that to Dick and I was like, look at that.
• 51:43
  They stole my image. They stole who I am fuckers.
• 51:50
  And just just so you know, I wasn't lying about seeing it on
• 51:53
  the Internet. Here is the Kamala Kamala Harris
• 51:57
  quote. OK.
• 51:59
  She said it. It's there.
• 52:02
  Everything on the Internet is true.
• 52:05
  We've talked about this before, so if you are going to get mad
• 52:09
  and light me up, understand it's there.
• 52:11
  I saw it on the Internet, so therefore it's real.
• 52:14
  Did you know who got married? Not me.
• 52:16
  Keanu Reeves got married to that chick.
• 52:18
  Bet there was 100 page prenuptial agreement.
• 52:22
  I don't. I don't think so.
• 52:24
  He doesn't strike me as somebody who would do that.
• 52:27
  No, I know, but he just doesn't. Saying because he waited so long
• 52:29
  to get married. Right.
• 52:30
  But I don't. I don't, I don't even because.
• 52:32
  Because he is who he. Is and what we know of him, it's
• 52:35
  I just he married for love. That was it.
• 52:38
  He didn't marry for anything else and he dated for him long
• 52:41
  last time. So here's here's that.
• 52:43
  If I ever tell you I'm doing that, there's a good reason for
• 52:45
  it. Yeah, so here's the Warner
• 52:47
  Brothers thing. On the Netflix thing, Netflix to
• 52:50
  buy Warner Brothers and HBO Max for $82.7 billion.
• 52:54
  Our mission has always been to entertain the world, said
• 52:57
  Netflix CEO. By combining Warner Brothers
• 53:00
  incredible library of shows and movies from timeless classics
• 53:04
  like Casablanca and Citizen Kane to modern favorites Harry Potter
• 53:08
  and Friends and our culture defining titles like Stranger
• 53:12
  Things, K Pop, Demon Hunters. And Squid Game, we'll be able to
• 53:16
  do that even Better Together. Honestly, I think that's a good.
• 53:19
  Thing more yeah, it's going to be crazy, dude.
• 53:22
  Because I love the way that Netflix has built their
• 53:24
  business. I still like the way that they
• 53:27
  run their business. I know a lot of people complain
• 53:29
  because they've kind of slowed down on what they've been
• 53:32
  creating content wise. But now you know why they were
• 53:36
  acquiring capital, because they had a long term strategy to
• 53:39
  acquire Warner Brothers. And I think now you're going to
• 53:41
  see even better things, like Black, you know, better than
• 53:44
  Black Mirror, better than Stranger Things.
• 53:47
  And those were great shows, man. Ozark alcohol.
• 53:49
  Yeah, I just saw that, dude. I meant to send you that one.
• 53:52
  Yeah. And you know, you know why that
• 53:54
  is? They don't tell you it's not
• 53:56
  because they're quitting drinking.
• 53:58
  It's because they made cannabis legal in however many states.
• 54:01
  Yep. That's why the federal
• 54:02
  government's now taking a look and saying, do we need to curb
• 54:06
  this? Because Budweiser and all the
• 54:08
  lobbyists are in Washington going, nobody's buying as much
• 54:11
  beer, man. Yep.
• 54:12
  Absolutely. Here's a good one for you.
• 54:14
  This one kind of puts things into perspective as to how time
• 54:19
  works. And we we've discussed this
• 54:21
  before, but this is in relation to the national debt.
• 54:24
  OK, so this was November 30th, 1,000,000 seconds ago was
• 54:28
  November 15th. So 1,000,000 seconds is 15 days
• 54:32
  to put this into perspective. OK, a billion seconds ago from
• 54:36
  November 30th was 1993, the year I moved to Arizona.
• 54:39
  A trillion seconds ago was 30,000 BC. the US national debt
• 54:44
  is now rising by 1 trillion every 180 days.
• 54:48
  So 30,000 seconds ago was 30,000 years before Christ and our
• 54:53
  national debt rises 1 trillion every six months.
• 54:57
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 54:58
  Wow. That's unsustainable.
• 55:00
  Yeah, that isn't. Yeah, that's.
• 55:01
  That's why I saved that. I was like, it's just I had to
• 55:04
  read it 4 times. I understood it the first time,
• 55:06
  but the next three times it's like holy.
• 55:09
  Shit. Yeah, six months versus 30,000
• 55:12
  years. That's yeah, that's insane.
• 55:14
  That's insane. So.
• 55:16
  We had Brian on. The show and I want to, I want
• 55:19
  to do this real quick because this is another little thing.
• 55:21
  About I never looked. We're able to fix that I.
• 55:24
  I don't think so. This is a kid named Campbell.
• 55:27
  Campbell Faulkner. He has a medical issue here.
• 55:30
  He's in the wheelchair that that healed at the rest of his life.
• 55:34
  I forget what it's called. This kid.
• 55:36
  When he was 9 coming home from an event.
• 55:39
  Make a wish. Make a wish thing.
• 55:41
  He got to go. His make a wish was to go to
• 55:42
  Wrigley Field, which you'll love because you're a Cubs fan, and
• 55:45
  make a wish made that happen. On the flight home, he decided
• 55:47
  that he wanted to give back. He's 9.
• 55:49
  He wanted to give to others as people have given to him.
• 55:55
  In his in his short time on this earth, because he's 19, he has
• 55:58
  touched 50,000 souls and counting.
• 56:00
  He feeds the homeless. He takes kids from nine months
• 56:03
  to 18 years old, basic needs shopping twice a year.
• 56:06
  He has this thing called feed the need, which is food and
• 56:09
  hygiene kits, water for weeks. He raised money to put a water
• 56:14
  mobile water station at a community outreach center in the
• 56:17
  East Valley. It's completely run nonprofit 5
• 56:20
  O 3C, his parents and his brothers.
• 56:23
  And his sister help maintain the, the program.
• 56:26
  Campbell's crew cares. So if you're looking for a 5O3C,
• 56:30
  just go to Campbell cruise. Campbell's cruise cares.
• 56:33
  It's so hard to freaking say. It's a tongue twister, man.
• 56:36
  Kind of like with Brian's thing. A day of giving.org.
• 56:38
  You want to, you want to help with Brian's program?
• 56:41
  A day of giving.org. It's, it's, it's started with an
• 56:44
  idea of giving kids presents and things like that.
• 56:49
  Now it's grown to the fact that we're going to have Brian on the
• 56:51
  show and he'll talk about even more so, but with with
• 56:55
  Campbell's crew, we actually had him had him come to Rotary
• 56:58
  Wednesday and talk and shit. You not.
• 57:00
  He made grown men cry because of what he does.
• 57:03
  That's outstanding, right? This is his story established in
• 57:06
  2017. He he wanted to start giving
• 57:09
  back. This is the website you can you
• 57:11
  of those you aren't in the valley.
• 57:12
  Obviously you can't volunteer, but but you can donate.
• 57:14
  It's really simple to donate. Click the donate button and
• 57:18
  there you go. That's all you got to do.
• 57:20
  You just you donate and you can click what it's for.
• 57:22
  You can feed the need you can clothing for kids water for
• 57:26
  weeks. That's.
• 57:27
  Awesome. Let's see what else is there.
• 57:28
  Yeah. So the cool thing is this Sunday
• 57:31
  or this Saturday, which is Nikki's birthday, we're spending
• 57:33
  the the the first part of the morning actually going to
• 57:36
  Walmart. There's 150 kids being bussed
• 57:38
  in. We get $125 per kid and we
• 57:41
  basically take them through Walmart, this specific Walmart,
• 57:45
  and we help them stay within budget, but they have complete
• 57:48
  control of what they want. Now, the schools which these
• 57:51
  kids come from this time are Coolidge, the principal.
• 57:53
  Coolidge said that that from the first event we did, which is,
• 57:56
  which was back to basics, kind of like after the school year
• 57:59
  started, the kids come in the next day after this event with a
• 58:03
  higher sense of self worth, more pride because they're in brand
• 58:06
  new clothes. They're in clothes that fit,
• 58:08
  they don't smell. They just, they're, they're
• 58:10
  normal kids with brand new shoes and and jeans and socks and
• 58:13
  underwear and shirts and hoodies, things like that.
• 58:16
  So it elevates how they feel about themselves, which then
• 58:18
  makes them more engaged in school, more engaged in what's
• 58:21
  going on. It makes them a more of an
• 58:23
  engaging student to teach. So presents are one thing like
• 58:26
  yes. And the reason why Campbell's
• 58:28
  crew doesn't do presents because everybody else does presents.
• 58:31
  There's so many I told you that presents.
• 58:32
  When we were kids, man, and we had to go past all those kids in
• 58:35
  that line, Yeah. What was the lasting impression
• 58:38
  on me was a little girl that was the same age as my sister.
• 58:42
  My sister was carrying her jacket that she was going to
• 58:44
  donate and that little little girl was tugging on her mom's
• 58:47
  jacket and she's like, I don't want anything else for
• 58:49
  Christmas. I just want that pink coat.
• 58:51
  And she didn't want the pink coat because it was pink.
• 58:54
  She told her mom, I want it because it's so warm and I'm so
• 58:57
  cold. When you're a little kid and you
• 58:58
  hear somebody that just wants a jacket, you're like, I got 2
• 59:01
  jackets, you know? Well, and here's here's a story
• 59:04
  that Campbell Toad Cambel toed at the Rotary, A 17 year old kid
• 59:08
  comes because you can, siblings can come.
• 59:09
  So 17 year old kid comes to the Walmart thing he's wearing.
• 59:13
  A sweatshirt that comes up to his like you can see his stomach
• 59:16
  right? Didn't fit wearing shorts that
• 59:18
  probably 2000 is too small and wearing flip flops that you get
• 59:21
  from a nail salon. That's how Campbell described
• 59:23
  this kid. OK huge ASU fan.
• 59:26
  And because Walmart does what they do, he ended up buying 4
• 59:29
  hoodies because he he, he was never warm.
• 59:34
  So he got the other things he needed the pants and the shoes
• 59:36
  and socks. Like everybody gets gets cup
• 59:38
  packs of underwear, cup packs of socks, but this kid was
• 59:42
  freezing. It was it was winter.
• 59:44
  So he actually got 4 hoodies different sizes.
• 59:46
  So he he, he, he knew as he would get older, he would
• 59:49
  constantly have something to keep him warm.
• 59:50
  Another story of what Campbell did.
• 59:52
  And again, this is a 19 year old kid.
• 59:53
  When he started this he was 9. A little girl never had her own
• 59:57
  underwear like ever in her. Because these are.
• 1:00:00
  These are poverty. Stricken children, these are
• 1:00:02
  living below. These are people that need it.
• 1:00:03
  They don't they, they, they're not just, you know, the fake
• 1:00:07
  homeless people because they don't want.
• 1:00:08
  People, they have to have them. Right.
• 1:00:10
  This isn't, this is basic life necessities.
• 1:00:13
  This little girl, I think, I think she was six or seven, she
• 1:00:16
  left with 50 pairs of of underwear because she'd never
• 1:00:20
  had underwear on her own, because it was all handmade out.
• 1:00:23
  So, you know, Campbell's crew cares.
• 1:00:25
  Go, go there. Just, you know.
• 1:00:27
  Well, and those are the things that people need to stop and
• 1:00:30
  think about, especially not just this time of year, but
• 1:00:32
  especially this time of year. But on a daily basis, you know,
• 1:00:36
  you have to remind yourself when you're having a bad day, how bad
• 1:00:39
  is your day, really? You know, I lived in my car for
• 1:00:42
  a month. Yeah.
• 1:00:42
  If I'm having a, if I'm having a bad day, I remember the nights.
• 1:00:46
  It's colder than you think in Arizona in the winter time, if
• 1:00:49
  you don't have a heater, you got to remind yourself what bad is,
• 1:00:52
  is my point, you know? Agreed.
• 1:00:54
  I got dinner. I got lunch, I'm not freezing,
• 1:00:57
  it's 0 outside and I'm sitting here in a T-shirt.
• 1:01:00
  I guess I'm doing all right. Fucking 0 outside 0.
• 1:01:03
  It's going to get up to 22. It'd be like a heat wave,
• 1:01:05
  brother. But then back down to 0 tonight,
• 1:01:09
  but then up to 30 tomorrow. Mama Kay and I are going
• 1:01:12
  shopping my friend. Right, that's funny.
• 1:01:15
  So how easy it is to to donate? The Campbell crew cares.
• 1:01:18
  I just donated $25.00 a month. It's that easy.
• 1:01:21
  Why we're on the phone, why we're on the show.
• 1:01:23
  So it's not. That hard boys and girls to
• 1:01:24
  just, you know, be involved and and and help people and it
• 1:01:30
  doesn't have to be 25 bucks. You get 5 bucks.
• 1:01:32
  Here's the example, what they can do kind of like what Brian,
• 1:01:34
  and you're going to hear more from Brian Morris, what he does
• 1:01:36
  with the giving a day of giving. Brian can get 6000.
• 1:01:40
  Dollar pallet of toys for 600 bucks because of relationships
• 1:01:44
  and connections he's established by doing his day of giving for
• 1:01:46
  the going on the because. It's going to charity, yes.
• 1:01:49
  Right, so right, so. Campbell, what his family's been
• 1:01:51
  able to accomplish with with Walmart is, is you know what,
• 1:01:57
  what usually is a $20 T-shirt, it's on clearance.
• 1:01:59
  So Walmart marks it down to 5 bucks.
• 1:02:02
  So when we have a kid that comes in and and he wants 5 T-shirts,
• 1:02:05
  it's 5T shirts for the price of 1.
• 1:02:07
  So that's the kind of connections they've made and
• 1:02:09
  that's the kind of savings that it gets carried on to the kids.
• 1:02:13
  The cool thing about Campbell's thing too, is the parents can't
• 1:02:16
  come with because they learned the first year doing it, the
• 1:02:19
  parents would, would, would pressure the kids to get the
• 1:02:22
  most expensive thing. And then they trying out it was
• 1:02:25
  returned. Oh, we take the kids shopping as
• 1:02:28
  a volunteer. The entire garden center is
• 1:02:30
  reserved. Once we get to the garden center
• 1:02:32
  with the kids supply the the volunteer cashiers, basically,
• 1:02:35
  they can't they ring it up, but they take all the tags off, bag
• 1:02:38
  it and the kid goes home with all brand new stuff with no tags
• 1:02:42
  on. So it cannot be returned and no
• 1:02:43
  receipt. Yeah.
• 1:02:45
  So it truly makes sure that goes to the kid and that's what the
• 1:02:47
  kids wants. And the kid picks it out.
• 1:02:49
  So it's, it's, it's they're doing it.
• 1:02:51
  It's funniest thing we did it. We had this five year old kid,
• 1:02:54
  totally reminded me little man, and he won his shoes to make him
• 1:02:56
  go faster. So every pair of shoes we put on
• 1:02:58
  him, he was running up and down the aisle.
• 1:03:00
  Like dude, we gotta make sure they fit, man.
• 1:03:01
  Wow, makes me fast. Make me fast, you know.
• 1:03:06
  And then once we got the right size shoe on him, he was really
• 1:03:08
  fast and he wouldn't stop running.
• 1:03:09
  And it's like, OK, dude, you gotta you gotta come on, come
• 1:03:11
  back, let's go. We got more stuff to buy for
• 1:03:13
  you. But it's it's neat.
• 1:03:14
  It's like, how much has life changed in that moment?
• 1:03:16
  Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely.
• 1:03:18
  And, and, and the, the principles that are involved
• 1:03:20
  with it, they make sure the kids that get this, they're the ones
• 1:03:23
  that need it. Like they watch, they see, OK,
• 1:03:24
  that one's getting the free breakfast, that one's getting
• 1:03:26
  the free lunch. This one's wearing the same
• 1:03:28
  shoes every day for four months. This you know.
• 1:03:31
  Because that's why I always tell those stories, man.
• 1:03:33
  As a kid, going there with my mother was not what what we
• 1:03:36
  wanted to do. I'm not saying like I was a St.
• 1:03:38
  I bitched about it, too. I like, I don't want to go.
• 1:03:41
  I think my sister hated it the most.
• 1:03:43
  But it did leave a lasting impression on all of us.
• 1:03:46
  Otherwise I wouldn't have remembered it.
• 1:03:48
  Right. Yeah.
• 1:03:48
  So I think to your point, if you've never done anything like
• 1:03:52
  that, my mom and my sister used, I don't know if they still do,
• 1:03:55
  but they would go to the Salvation Army all the time at
• 1:03:57
  Christmas time, too, to see that.
• 1:03:59
  I think sometimes you need to see it to appreciate what you
• 1:04:02
  really have, you know? Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  Agreed. Too many people are all you got.
• 1:04:06
  You look at social media, man. Too many people are like, whoa
• 1:04:09
  is me? And you find out what their
• 1:04:10
  problem is and you just kind of laugh.
• 1:04:12
  It's like people got real problems man.
• 1:04:14
  Yeah, very real problems. And people, you know, you don't
• 1:04:17
  really think about that, but they do.
• 1:04:19
  And a lot of people are quiet about it.
• 1:04:20
  A lot of people don't share their problems, you know, openly
• 1:04:22
  because they feel weak because doing so.
• 1:04:25
  You know, that's the thing that I, I shared before, like, and
• 1:04:28
  Steele, you know, you never knew what struggle Steele was going
• 1:04:31
  through raising the family and being the patriarch and being
• 1:04:33
  the one that everybody depends on.
• 1:04:35
  You know, he's paying the bills. He's making sure there's food on
• 1:04:38
  the table. Especially him.
• 1:04:39
  But you don't with and that's the thing people don't don't
• 1:04:42
  realize the burden. And I'm not saying single
• 1:04:44
  parents. I'm just talking about a family
• 1:04:45
  and a whole with a. With two, you know, 2 household,
• 1:04:48
  parent, two parent household, it all falls on the, on the on the
• 1:04:51
  man. It all falls on the father and
• 1:04:53
  the husband. He's the one that is ultimately
• 1:04:55
  responsible for everything. I know there's sugar Mamas out
• 1:04:57
  there. Where, you know, Mr. Mom stays
• 1:04:58
  home and stuff. So majority of it you're right,
• 1:05:01
  right. They're they're looking up.
• 1:05:03
  Right, right. So, yeah.
• 1:05:04
  So it's so that and and being that role, it's kind of still
• 1:05:09
  being the role because my daughter lives on our property,
• 1:05:11
  you know, love her to death, not slamming it, but it's still,
• 1:05:14
  it's still that extra, there's still that little extra piece of
• 1:05:16
  burden. Like I have to make sure.
• 1:05:18
  And real quick before we get slammed by all the women, the
• 1:05:21
  kids are looking at mom as mom. Help me with what you know as
• 1:05:25
  the mom. All he's saying is with the
• 1:05:28
  financial make sure that we don't die protective role.
• 1:05:32
  If it's a true man and woman, household man and man, man and
• 1:05:35
  woman, whatever role you they're looking up at the person that's
• 1:05:39
  the breadwinner in the. Family, right, Right.
• 1:05:41
  Yeah. Because I've I've done a lot.
• 1:05:42
  With, with single parent households in my career.
• 1:05:45
  So I, I believe me, I understand.
• 1:05:47
  You know, when you have a single parent household, it's, it's
• 1:05:49
  twice the stress, it's twice the work, it's twice the anxiety.
• 1:05:53
  Not discounting that at all at all.
• 1:05:55
  I'm just saying that that the, the person, it's even harder for
• 1:05:59
  single parent household because you have nobody to lean on.
• 1:06:01
  So that's a whole different story.
• 1:06:02
  We won't go down there. I'm just saying be mindful of
• 1:06:04
  that. Be grateful of what you have, I
• 1:06:06
  guess, is what we're both trying to say.
• 1:06:07
  Because, you know, and everybody has what we have.
• 1:06:09
  Otherwise there would be no need for Brian's charity, there would
• 1:06:12
  be no need for Campbell Campbell's, there would be no
• 1:06:15
  need for the Red Cross, there'd be no need for the Salvation
• 1:06:19
  Army. You can go on and on.
• 1:06:20
  There would be no need for all this charity.
• 1:06:23
  Actually there there would be no need for all this charity if
• 1:06:25
  humanity wasn't full of a bunch of Dicks.
• 1:06:27
  Like start with not being an asshole.
• 1:06:30
  Right, right. Then you know.
• 1:06:32
  Like Odell, Like, really, dude, you blew through $100 million in
• 1:06:35
  five years? Brought that up.
• 1:06:36
  That's on you, dude, That's on you.
• 1:06:39
  I I just. I can't build generational
• 1:06:42
  wealth on how much 600,000,005? Hundred 100, $3,000,000 in five
• 1:06:46
  years. So that's not counting what he
• 1:06:47
  got from the Giants. Like he blew through that.
• 1:06:49
  Apparently he's trying to say that of the $100 million, which
• 1:06:52
  which ended up being like 14,000,000 a year, right?
• 1:06:54
  Because because I, I didn't think of it that way, but when
• 1:06:57
  you break it down, it's, it's, you know, 100,000,000 /
• 1:07:00
  510,000,000. What is that 10 million?
• 1:07:03
  No. What's 100 million?
• 1:07:04
  Divided by 5, Why can't it? Be about 17, close to 20 million
• 1:07:07
  a year. Yeah, so he says after taxes.
• 1:07:09
  And shit, that's 12 million, OK. 12 million a year.
• 1:07:12
  You should be able to move off the interest.
• 1:07:14
  Of that. But then he said, But when I had
• 1:07:16
  when I had to buy my cars and my house and had to buy my grandma.
• 1:07:19
  House I know then I had to buy my grandma house and then I had
• 1:07:23
  to. Live up to the lifestyle.
• 1:07:24
  That I made for myself really. And the.
• 1:07:27
  Irony of this, the day this came out was the day he was on the
• 1:07:30
  Manning cast, sitting with two people who collectively probably
• 1:07:35
  made 2300 million from the NFL. Just contractually, they're
• 1:07:40
  sitting on generational wealth. Why?
• 1:07:42
  Because they weren't stupid with their money, correct?
• 1:07:46
  Jalen Hurts. I don't know if it's true or not
• 1:07:47
  but Jalen Hurts from what I understand lives in a in a in a
• 1:07:50
  very mediocre middle class home and drives like some normal
• 1:07:55
  little car. Because he knows the NFL is not
• 1:07:58
  for long. Warren Buffett, one of the
• 1:08:00
  richest men in the world, lives in the same house he bought in
• 1:08:02
  1962 or whatever the fuck it was, right?
• 1:08:05
  That's how you build generational well.
• 1:08:07
  Right, right. Cam Scataboo was getting slammed
• 1:08:10
  because he was wasting all his money on bling so he finally
• 1:08:13
  said look it's all fake. I signed a $5,000,000 rookie
• 1:08:17
  contract. Yeah, it's all fake.
• 1:08:19
  Who else said that recently that all the stuff they wore on the
• 1:08:22
  field was all fake? Just costume.
• 1:08:24
  It's just costume, Julie. Just shut the fuck up and let
• 1:08:27
  them play. Leave them alone.
• 1:08:28
  They're not. I mean, I get the world's like
• 1:08:31
  idol, idol, humor, worship, oh, that kind of that.
• 1:08:33
  I get that. I mean, whatever it is, it is
• 1:08:35
  what it is. But.
• 1:08:36
  While we're on this subject. Yeah.
• 1:08:38
  Yeah, here's what I say when people say that.
• 1:08:40
  And you've heard me say it before.
• 1:08:41
  OK, OK. And I'm not going to point out
• 1:08:43
  anybody in general, but you'll hear people say things like the
• 1:08:46
  fucking go. Go where?
• 1:08:47
  Shit like that. Who the fuck do you think he is?
• 1:08:50
  I'm like, he might look at you and go, why does he gotta wear
• 1:08:54
  that stupid trucker hat? Was he fucking redneck?
• 1:08:57
  You know my point is. Yeah, who gives a shit who?
• 1:09:00
  Gives a shit. You wear what you want to wear.
• 1:09:04
  I wear what I want to wear. And why don't we have an
• 1:09:06
  intelligent conversation about something intelligent, right?
• 1:09:10
  Yes, yes, the. Fuck what I'm wearing or what my
• 1:09:12
  hair looks like or that's the reason I grew my hair long is
• 1:09:16
  because it bothered people. I like to do things that make
• 1:09:19
  people uncomfortable because I don't understand why you're so
• 1:09:21
  uncomfortable. I don't know.
• 1:09:23
  It's it's insecurities. That's all it comes down to.
• 1:09:25
  I understand you're just completely insecure about who
• 1:09:28
  you are and everything. That's that, you know.
• 1:09:30
  So picking on other people and the negativity towards other
• 1:09:33
  people's lives somehow makes you feel better, which is
• 1:09:36
  fascinating, but. Yep, Yep.
• 1:09:38
  So and then for us at the Crystal Mic Show, if you're
• 1:09:42
  feeling sorrow, sad, depressed, suicidal.
• 1:09:45
  Don't do it. Go scream in a pillow.
• 1:09:46
  Go journal. Go run.
• 1:09:48
  Go work out. Go find somebody to talk to.
• 1:09:49
  If you can't find somebody to talk to, by all means text 988.
• 1:09:53
  Somebody is sitting there waiting to talk to you, to help
• 1:09:56
  talk you off the Cliff and make sure you have a much better
• 1:10:00
  mindset because tomorrow is a better day with you waking up in
• 1:10:02
  it. And don't leave a hole in
• 1:10:03
  somebody's heart because you have left this planet
• 1:10:06
  unexpectedly. One of our friends that went to
• 1:10:08
  high school with, he committed suicide about a a year and a
• 1:10:11
  week ago because Christie, one of our fellow friends, she's
• 1:10:13
  posted a bunch of pictures of him.
• 1:10:15
  I wasn't sure if it was suicide or not, but apparently it is
• 1:10:17
  because what she referenced. So, you know, a year later, year
• 1:10:19
  later, still impacting her day-to-day life because he was
• 1:10:23
  a, he was like a lifetime friend of hers.
• 1:10:24
  So, you know, don't do it. Don't be that person.
• 1:10:27
  You'll be missed. You are loved.
• 1:10:28
  Mikey Casteel, Mike Casteel Day, have a great day.
• 1:10:30
  And we know we had to leave, but thanks for chiming and jumping.
• 1:10:32
  Absolutely. Have a great day brother.
• 1:10:34
  Yeah, and for Chris and Mike. So I'm Christie's Mike.
• 1:10:37
  Love you brother. Love you too, brother.

  Who is this baby to your finger? Come down here, we haven't
• 1:12:50
  bounced all the exam from fighting.
• 1:12:55
  Wait for the dead. When this goes around here, put
• 1:13:00
  it away. You ain't no creature you're
• 1:13:04
  playing. Smile and you should you press
