• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, I think we're all set here to get
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: underway with our first episode of The Lynch and Taco Show,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: off their podcast for twenty twenty six.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: This is a big day for Pat Lynch, not just
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: because it's the eighth of January, but was I correct?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I am so nervous, dude.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: You can't be. You have no control. Remember what I
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: always used to say, we're talking about the Miami game tonight?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Was I correct?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: College football semi playoff final Miami ole Miss?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Was I correct during the show earlier when I said
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: this is probably your biggest day in sports in the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: last twenty years, It is? Yeah, I think so, because
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the other one would be the Canes versus.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Let me, I'll rewind. I'll tell you exactly, please do.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I've been a lifelong Miami Hurricanes and Miami Dolphins.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Fan because he grew up originally in South.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Forlorida South Forward before I moved here, and I was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: actually season ticket holder for the Hurricanes for a good
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: chunk of their last run where they were, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: year in and year out, really good. Yeah? You?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: And what was his name?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Really cool? Dude? Oh my buddy, Ed ed still is
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Ed ed Still is and he's I believe he'll probably
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: be in attendance tonight out in Arizona, which is really
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the one of the last games I went to with
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: him on a road trip, because we would always go
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to a road trip. And it happen to have been
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the Fiesta Bowl, the much valleyhooed Fiesta Bowl that I
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: bitch and complained about NonStop against Ohio State, where Miami
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was favored to win back to back championship back and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it was two thousand from the two thousand and two season,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but the game was in two thousand and three and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that late bizarre call and overtime that allowed Ohio State
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to win. And I've ever since then, Hay stated, hated,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: hated Ohio State. I respect Ohio State. Don't get me wrong,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and don't be pissed at me if I say I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: hate Ohio State. Ohio State fans feel the same way
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: about Michigan. Okay, it's that kind of deal. So Ever
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: since then, it's been nothing but disappointment. So twenty plus
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: years of disappointment. The great teams that they had suddenly
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: just went away, and there'd be a year or two
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: where they might look like, Okay, maybe they got a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: little something going, but inevitably they screw up.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And he even if he heard Ohio State for quite
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: some time, I'm talking well over a decade. If he
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: heard Ohio State or we have some Buckeye listeners that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: would call in or text in, he would get red
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: in the face and pissed off. And I've said it
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: from day one. I know that you're nervous about this game,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: But what did I say before? You have absolutely no
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: control over a football game. You have to watch it
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: They are one win away from going back to the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: National Championship, which is in Miami, in their home stadium.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: You couldn't write a better script.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: If they make it. Will you go to that game?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No? The tickets are insane. I've already started looking at
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the ticket prices. Three thousand dollars, oh god, oh hell,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you don't even know who's in the final yet.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and sitting on the comfort of your own caliby
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: right right would be a lot better than a nosebleed view.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And just to let you know how drastically ticket prices
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: have changed, that Fiesta Bowl National Championship game, which is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I've been to two National Championship games that the Canes
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: were in all right, saw them beat Nebraska in the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Rose Bowl to win the National Championship, and then I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: went to that Fiesta Bowl game as well. I still
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: have the ticket stubs, the price of the ticket itself
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that we paid. No, it's one hundred and twenty five
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: dollars as a season ticket holder the National Championship.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: What about non season ticket holders, I don't know, probably
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: like four hundred bucks something back then.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Probably, but yeah, just to show you how much the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: economic have changed. About trying to go to never mind
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: college football, but any live event, whether it's sports or
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just you know, music or show or something.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I've never understood. I mean just because it's me and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I've will never bought a concert ticket.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But I'm still unbelievable.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: But I cannot I can't understand why somebody would spend
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: like three grand on a ticket. Or maybe it's just
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it's not that I'm cheap by any means, but maybe
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: my frugality where I'm frugal, where it's kind of like,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to put that three thousand
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: dollars towards something else.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It's the way you approach and frame things. I mean
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that people have different motivations as to why well, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: people have different levels of money. You just took the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: words out of my mouth. There's there's obviously people who
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: don't even bat and eyelash it forking over a huge
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: sums of money to do insane things. My buddy Alan
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just and if you're in that position, I'm jealous. Color
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: me jealous.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my buddy Allen, he's been to the sphere, he's
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: been to every state in the US. Just finished I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: think he just finished his list with his Fargo trip.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Obviously done well for himself.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: No, right, he retired at a very young age.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Does a victor go to spoils?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: There you go the uh you quote that just.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Flip side though, and where you're coming from, I would
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: venture to say that most of us don't have three
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars just to really nilly throw at some event
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that you'd like to go to.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: No, And then, I mean.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Even if you really really want to go, doing that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: would just be dumb.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that was what I was getting at. Plus,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: it's not just three thousand dollars. Just like you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you're talking a hotel room, you're talking.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: How you're gonna how you're gonna get.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Their transportation there, then you're talking about parking there.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all said and done. You were You know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you can't even afford the first beer, and you don't
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: even want to get what the price of the beer is. Well, anyway,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So nervous excitement for tonight seven thirty Fiesta Bowl, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that Miami is able to erase the festaval
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: demon that has existed for twenty plus years.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: What time you taking your nap? Are you aiming for?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll get done here, I'll get home, I get
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a few things I got to mop up there, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: then I try to get an hour or two quick
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: snooze this afternoon.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Then you know they win getting here tomorrow morning's gonna
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: be a breeze. I in fact, I probably won't go
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to sleep. No, just you know, zoom right in, be
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: ready to hit the air. They lose, on the other hand, uh,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: be a you just don't want to be a sad sack.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: No, you don't want to be a sad sack. No,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you don't need to be a sad sack. Hey, you
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: got a hell of a football team, and from the
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: looks of it, you're gonna have a hell of a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: foot team next year as well. So I have a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: neighbor that it's funny.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, we should probably real quick before that. I don't
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: mean to cut you off. We want to reiterate something
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: we said during the show today and this has been
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: an ongoing gentlemen's agreement that we have and we encourage
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you to do the same, especially if you live in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the state of Florida. We have the outlook that we
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: all have our teams that we root for, whether it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: college or pro or whatever. And if that team happens
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to be in the state of Florida and it does
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: not make it to the playoffs or the championship or whatever,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: but another team from the state may we think it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: makes sense you want to root for hometown and home
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: state teams. So we hope that anybody who may be
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a Gators fan, as much as painful as it may be,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or a Seminoles fan or UCF Knights fan or whatever
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you got to pull from Miami, right if you live
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in Florida. I think so.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I've always thought that, and I'll ask one of a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: lady I know that as a die hard fan, I'll
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: ask her today if I see her at the gym.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And look, I do the same. And I'm on the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: record doing this show pulling for you know, any number
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of teams that have you know, made it further than
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: my teams of preference because I've got used to doing
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it over the year, especially with the Dolphins.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Good god, man, you think they're gonna get Harbaugh?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It sounds like there's been some feelers put out to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: gauging his interest. I don't know if you're him.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I looked at the amount of teams that reached out.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I saw a stat yesterday the amount of teams that
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: reached out to him within the first half a day,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you know, when the announcement was made.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, before the end of that day.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think it was like six teams.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: What surprised me. So, if you are John Harbaugh and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you know the Dolphins are interested in you, Stephen Ross
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: will pay big time. He's been not you know, he's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: has a track record of overpaying would be sometimes underperforming
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: individuals within the organization, which is half the problem. But
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: if you're John Harbaugh, are you going to coach the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Dolphins given what you know their situation is right now? Yes? Why?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Because I'm going to be in South Florida. I can
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: bring my family to South Florida, have that nice you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: golf in the off time and this and.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: That you're playing. You're playing to write into my South
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Florida theory that I you know, I've told you about.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of that lack of success is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: because of all those distractions that come with living in
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the further south you go in the state.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm just saying I think it would just
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: be a wise decision. And uh, the quarterback that he
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: has to work with, he can Quinn yours. He can
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: just hear me out. Quinn was he's in the NFL
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: for a reason. Well, okay, So but if if Harbaugh
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: is as good as he is, because he is, he's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a hell of a coach. When you look at.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Eighteen years with the Ravens, yeah yeah, and look at
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: how many super Bowl and how many you know, play whatever.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: So he can find somebody or do it himself to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: to mold that kid if he's gonna be good or
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and and then you have two as a backup, because
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you don't want to pay off his stuff.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I when they extended that contract to his Beyonce, he
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: mentioned that earlier.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: In the week that was we all shook our heads.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That was a wrist slicer right there. It really self
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: inflicted wound man, financial wound albatross, financial albatross. We'll see
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: what happens. Another former Dolphin coach, Brian Flores, he was
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the one who sued everybody for being racist, who was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: with the Vikings as an assistant. Sounds like he's gonna
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: end up being with the Raiders.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we'll perfect see.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: What happens there. Uh, these all these coaching openings, not
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just in college but in pro. It's everybody's so quick
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to fire their coach, but it's like, you gotta look
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: at what's available and who's gonna fill the shoes.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I was watching McAfee yesterday.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Shocker, I still think fire and Harbaugh was nuts, absolutely nuts.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: They said it was going to happen a while ago,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: said there's a very good chance it's between him and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: what's his name from Pitt Tomlin.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: It's but you make the playoffs, all of a sudden,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: all that noise goes away exactly.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: But anyway, if they did a graphic of available coaches
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that are good coaches and pat it was just boom
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: boom boom b.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: There were a lot. John Gruden needs to be back
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in a head coaching position, whether it's pro or college.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Agree.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he got railroaded. He got done dirty by the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: NFL man and I put it right to the commissioner,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell. He did not like Grood, and I think
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that he kind of it's an escape goat. No, he
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: his all of a sudden private communications are you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not justifying the things that Gruden had
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in his emails, but that's.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: What I wanted to verify.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, who who right now listening or watching this
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: hasn't said, whether verbally or in an email or a text,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: something that if any person who didn't know you saw
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: go wha, well what is this guy? A terrible person?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You are?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to make the point that you don't
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: back what he said, because I know you don't and
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I don't and I don't either. No, I just didn't
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: want somebody to miss hear or missee this. And yeah,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: it's just the ship flag goes up and we're going great.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Someone is always out to get you. Yeah, and and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that's you know.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: That's sad.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It is you could be the nicest person in the world,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. There's still somebody who don't like you, yeah,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and wants to get you.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: So Gruden, I'm with you that he should be back
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: in coaching a team because he has a real talent.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Is his brother still coaching John Jay?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know where. Where the hell did he end
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: up going after the Redskins? He was an assistant god Bengals.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure where he is, if he is anywhere
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: right now, let me see what are you looking to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: see off the top.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: As of early twenty twenty six, Jay Gruden is involved
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: in coaching All Star games like the twenty twenty six
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Hula Bowl with his brother John. Okay, he wait, but
• 13:40

• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Uh No, we love him.

  Speaker 2: be on our show every once a week.

• 15:39
  Speaker 1: And no, you shouldn't call him. Internet went out at
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: my house on Monday morning, which you know. That's look.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I think for most people that's considered a vital utility
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: these days, I would.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Be no TV, no internet for work.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I when I get done here with the radio show
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: each morning, I am online doing additional duties that I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: have with this company, and I'm allowed to do that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: from my studio that I have built for myself at home.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: None of that works if I can't connect. Sure, I
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: can go on and talk to myself and record things,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: but I can't get it to where it needs to go.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And I've been dealing with that for three days, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it finally came back up yesterday. Afternoon at five point thirty.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry in a situation, in a day and age,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: with the way technology is, when there was no cataclysmic
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: weather condition to cause that where you would understand, we understand,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: like after a hurricane or something, you're gonna be without this,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: this and that for a while. Yeah, none of that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: one on. It took two days pretty much for them
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to even acknowledge we didn't have service.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: How long are you gonna wait after you get this
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: new service hooked up to drop them?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Oh? So most a lot of you now have the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: option with one, two, three, in my case, four different
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: companies offering fiber internet. Sir, it's driven the prices way down.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And how long am I going to wait? Well, let
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: me see if this technician has texted me back yet.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Who was I had an appointment for three o'clock this
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: afternoon to hook up the new Yeah, the new competitor.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Uh all right, it says, cool, thanks, Yeah, I'll be
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: there early. I said, I'll be home by about eleven
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: or so. So if it's up and running today, I'll
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: cancel today.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Sure see, I'm the kind of guy, and that's why
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I asked it. When even if the new one is
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: up and running. I'm waiting a week or so just
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: to feel out.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: You want to know what really just sealed my pissed
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: offness on this. There were approximately ten homes affected by
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: this outage, and that explains probably this company's attitude towards
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the big scheme of things. We'll get to it when
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: we get to it, but for two days to even
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: find so. One of my neighbors, who has service through
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the same company and is out as well, was walking,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I guess, walked up to the elementary school that's near
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: my house to get her kid and walk home with
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: them after school yesterday. That is the area where the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: repair work was being done. Because I saw them yesterday
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: when I drove home, four or five vehicles from the company.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I go, Okay, finally, maybe they're gonna get this fixed,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: because all the cabinets and stuff that feed our neighborhood
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: are up there near this elementary school. She saw them too,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and like walked up to him and was like start
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: asking questions. Hey, this is the third day we've been Listen, lady,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: just be glad we're getting it fixed. We're going to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: be you know. They go basically alluded that they were
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: being sold and they've been told that they're being sold,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and it sounded like these guys just didn't want to
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: hear from her and really didn't give a crap in general.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: That's where I really got pissed when he told me
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: that they're rude to her. She's a pain customer, She's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: just trying to get information. She works at home too. Yeah,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and it's just it is a amazing And you couple that,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you couple that with the whole where you're trying to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: get answers as to what's going on and you get
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: stuck in this customer service automated slash. You finally get
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: a human on the phone. They're offshore and they're reading
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the goddamn script and they will not deviate from the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: script and they don't know their ask from a hole
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: in the ground. Uh huh oh god.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I've had them where they have to tell me, sir,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: you may not speak to me like that. I'm like, bullshit.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I've been sitting on this line for you know, X
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: amount of time. You said, only ten people and then
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: we'll get off this. But you said, you know, only
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: ten homes affected. But we all have to remember what
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: does a home have in it. Your average home has
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: a kid or two, a couple, all four of them
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: are effected. So now it's not just ten homes, it's
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: about sixty people possibly give or take.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And for folks who work from home, yes, that's causing
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you're losing money. You're losing money in productivity.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Is the lady gonna drop them to your neighbor?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I don't. I haven't seen her since. I'll probably see
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: her when I'm walking the dog later. See what she uh,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: see what her vibe is. I'm gonna turn her on
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to what uh what I got happening here. I mean literally,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: when I reached out to them, they're like, yeah, how
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: about tomorrow, let's do it, So we'll see it. We'll
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: see how that goes.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: And then what I'll do is, uh, you have that
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: for X amount of time, if it's available to me,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: then I'll.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you've been talking about switching your provider for it's
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: going on three years now.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I know. But it's the email. My wife has the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: original email, and I just have to get her to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: pull pull the trigger and say, okay, just.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Switch to a Gmail account, take it wherever you want exactly.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: It's simple. But you know she has contacts from over
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the year.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: You know, you just don't want to be You would
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: just want plug and play. I don't want to be
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: bothered with of.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Course, that's why I bought that new laptop. Computer was
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: bricked up and it could have been fixed. I said, yeah,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: that thing, it's old.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I was sitting here watching Bob before he did the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: podcast today. We got a directive to adjust our signatures
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: on our company emails here and it was back before
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the holidays, and he had blown off that until now.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I forgot about it because I really didn't care.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Heed, you want to make the adjoint? Yeah? Yeah,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: When did you do that? When she asked us to?
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And You're getting so frustrated? He goes, well, how do
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you do it? I go, gives you the step by
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: step in the email, and.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I followed it without asking you to come around, but
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: because normally.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I would, He's clearly getting frustrated as health. So I'm
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: thinking to myself while he's doing this all right, how
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: long until he just asked me to do it for
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and he I got to give you credit. You made
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: your way through it with some initial hiccups, but you
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: got it done.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Do you know why I made my way through it
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: because as of in the last two days, I forget
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: what day I also read or received that self evaluation
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: where I have to evaluate myself as a as an employee.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: And this is a little deep, but when Pat used
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: to run w j R R, he was obviously the manager.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: So even though we worked together and did a show
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: together for years and years and years, he was technically
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: my manager. So he'd have to fill out and critique
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: me at a job, and he'd eat every single time.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: He'd go needs to work on paperwork skills. I suck
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: at paperwork. I sucked back then. I still do and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: now that my handwriting is getting messier and then making
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: the spaces on the doctor's thing smaller. Ah, I was
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: my shit man. I had one thing done and when
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I did my full body scan and and you're all
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: over the My buddy Judy looked at him and she goes, oh,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you put the wrong date.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: She says, you have the shakes or something. I go, no,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: my handwriting socks. I told you that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: And I hate paperwork. I just had to do a
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: lot of paperwork lately.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So uh, paperwork technically stuff in the computer. Yeah, for
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: modern reference.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: No, but at a doctor you have to write it.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: No, I hear you. Yeah.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And and specifically when I saw that directive come out,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: this is the latest want to do the self evaluation.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I thought, Pat, if he was still my boss, he'd
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: be saying needs to work on paperwork skills or whatever.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: And I said, I'm not going to ask him how
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: to do this A little last thing. I was waiting
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I know you too well, I said, Okay, be honest,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: if you weren't able to figure it out, who would
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you have gone to.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I would have gone home and done it.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And if you still couldn't figured it out, well, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: would have.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Walked into my daughter's room and said, you got another job.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Don't I tell you what? I had dark time for this.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with benefit of having a daughter in engineering, I
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: had to put together. I didn't buy it for my wife.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I paid for it, but she requested a treadmill.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I just didn't want to think that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I scot, I'm gonna get my wife a treadmill like
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a Neanderthal. No, she requested one. Then it was sitting
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: by the front door in a box. Can you see
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: me installing a treadmill?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Hell?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: No, but having a daughter in it as an engineer major,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I said, hey, how'd you like to make twenty bucks?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Because I was gonna call my handyman, handyman and Herbert,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: and I said, no, I got an engineer in this
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: back room.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: She's been at GE and.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: All these different companies and they have them doing that
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: shit obviously, so I.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Know she knows as how.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: And uh, can you put together mom's treadmill?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: There? I saw her doing it. Well, there was not together.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I mean the base comes with it, you the top.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: There, there was way out of me.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: You could have probably.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Pulled it off. But then yeah, so it bop.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's what they call him.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: No, I just I know that I'm not qualified for
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: certain things, and uh, putting stuff together's not one of them.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Hey look, I yeah, I'm right there with you. I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: if I take my time, I usually can get through it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: And in fact, I told you you know, patience is
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: not my best virtue, and it's a glaring flaw that
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I have. I forced myself a couple of years ago
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to put together this piece of furniture that had a
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: million parts I remember, and lighting and all this crap
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: that was in this box from Taiwan or wherever the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: hell it came from. And it was one of those
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: packs of instructions that there's all there is is steps
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and uh, schematics. There's really no you know, the three
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: D drawings and stuff. And I'm usually that head explodes,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: like you know what. I got to work on this.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I picked a Sunday morning when it was nice and quiet,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: nothing going on, and got it up and set up.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And my wife comes walking out after sleeping in. She goes, who.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Came by and help? Did Scott come over and put
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: this together?
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Lesser? React? She was pleasantly surprised that I was able
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to do that.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I got four letters for you. Oh y am out
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: of your mind. If you think that I'm going to
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: put that thing together? Black the black uh uh? But
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the griddle the Blackstone, I wouldn't play. I wasn't even
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: trying that because I bought it online. So handyman Herbert
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: was called.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: He's hardware for those they bring him right over our yourself.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: You don't even have to bring it home.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Don't you remember? I had the Blackstone first because I
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: found some insane deal where I saved like over one
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars on it by buying it online. So, hey, Herbert,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you know fitty bucks. He looked at me, He goes,
• 27:16
