Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in
the Bonus with Doug Gottlieb. What up Doug Gottlieb Show
in the Bonus Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio app. So here's
what we're gonna do. So fet Ryan Jaysu's not here,
(00:24):
so you know, fuck him. Let's just do our own thing, right,
we don't, We don't need what's so annoying Jason Stewart. Oh,
let me Jay, what's annoying me? Gen Z's annoying me? Right? Literally,
gen Z annoys him. I got one little mini rant
that I want to hit you with. And then I
want to talk about the OU quarterback who was accused
(00:44):
of gambling and seems to be diffused in a matter
of like I don't know, five hours. So there's a
couple of things here. Good to be with you, by
the way, I'm joining you from Los Angeles, our our
Shimernos Studio, which I've only been able to do I
don't know, like four or five times since I become
a head coach and got back to LA. And here's
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna stand up for my hometown.
(01:07):
My hometown is not really Los Angeles, Strange County, but
it's just forever. Southern California takes a beating because this
is what politicians choose to do. And there's there's an expression. Yeah,
people usually use it about divorce, right, Why it is
divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it? Right? But why
(01:29):
is why is La so expensive? And the answer is
because it's fucking worth it. And what I find to
be just comical is and and look, I'm in Wisconsin.
You get all these people like, well, it's like War
of the World's out there. Hey, coach you and listen.
It is less expensive other places. And I love living
in the Midwest, and Midwest nice is a real thing.
(01:54):
But it's like eighty degrees and no humanity today and
it's fucking amazing. And you know what it's gonna be
like tomorrow, the exact same thing. You know it's gonna
be like the day after that, the exact same thing.
And I used to say this all the time when
people go like, oh, you live in LA, Like, yeah,
I do. You don't have seasons? Yeah, we do the
good one, right once we do the one that you
seem to all want to come out of here. And
(02:15):
this is This is the kind of aha moment I had,
because when you tell people you're from southern California, from California,
they all go to like straight Fox News, like the
world is coming to an end and you can't you
have to like step over dead bodies, decaying bodies or
homeless people, which there are areas where you have to
do that. Okay, let's like, let's art. But the reason
(02:35):
the homeless people are here is because it's awesome. Weather's
always nice, right, And it's like they can't go to
Chicago because they'll melt in the summer and freeze in
the winter. Duh. Anyway, there was a point there. So
here's the hypocrisy to the narrative frankly of the right. Right,
frankly of the right, and I actually think the right
(02:58):
is genius. They've done this with the Sydney Sweeney ads
where they're like the left fucked you left, you don't
like hot chicks, like what like huh. I tell people
all the time, like I'm a radical centrist, but I
also care about people, and I've voted Democratic for the
most part most of my life. I've never had a
problem with a beautiful woman ever. Now are there people. Yeah,
(03:21):
but there's also people on the far right that think
you're supposed to have like fifteen babies not use birth control, right,
And they also claim to be like super Christians, yet
they've been divorced four or five times. Like, it's kind
of hard. You're kind of hypocritical too. I don't really
want to hang out with you either. So there's people
on either side we don't want to hang out with.
But the genius to the right is they take some
really small, infantest smile, infintestimal like opinion off of some
(03:46):
sort of social media and they make it out into
this is what the left things, or they take one
stat and the right does it as well. I mean,
you know they do the right will do where they'll go. Oh,
gas prices and they are expensive, they are, so I
don't really have a way to combat the gas prices
(04:07):
except for, you know, mostly because of taxes. And it
was the idea behind it was to get you to
drive less, or use use electric cars, or use public transportation,
which actually kind of makes sense to me. But here's
the ultimate hypocrisy. So my daughter Grace was at my
(04:30):
house for about a little bit more of a week
and we were hanging out and she's like, hey, I
gotta go clothes shopping for school. She's a sophomore in college,
all right, So we head down to Appleton. Appleton is
from where I live. It's like forty minutes and again
in the old land that time forgot. I give you Appleton, Wisconsin,
which I know people are digging out from these floods.
(04:51):
They have them all there, and the mall is like
really nice and not going out of business because people
still go to the mall there right where they don't
and had all the basic stores, right, all the basic
life teenage to early college stores, right, Hollister packsun a
couple other ones, you know where they got all kind
(05:11):
of you know, all the shit, right, And when you
go into all those stores, I mean, I know, Hollister
is supposed to be like Hollister California, which is up
by Centta Barbara, past Canta Barbara, I think. But you
go into all of those stores and they all have
like LA or California T shirts all of them. And
(05:31):
by the way, if they don't have California, they have
New York. And it's just really interesting to me that
we're kind of in the same cycle we've always been in,
but it's just it's just louder and more pronounced. Where
old people tell you don't move to California New York.
Young people are all super into the idea of getting
(05:53):
the fuck out of town and going to California and
New York. Right, that's why they buy the clothes that
they think that are cool in California New York and
were they really not because you know, and no one
does in LA. They don't wear any shirts that's say LA,
unless it's LA Dodgers, right anyway, Like it's the opposite
of Harvard guy, Right, how do you know the guy
(06:14):
went to Harvard? Just wait, he'll tell you, or he's
wearing something says Harvard. There's never been a Harvard person
that doesn't tell you within the first five minutes you're
talking that they went to Harvard, or they're not wearing
something Harvard. Right, LA people are the opposite. If we
spot you wearing something LA other than like the Dodgers
or Lakers, whatever, then we know you're not from LA.
(06:37):
Makes sense. So I'm on the plane today and I
land and there's a family behind me, and the little
girl was like, I'm home, and some other guy stands
up and goes, uh, he's because a plane came in
from Dallas. And the guy stands up and he's like, oh,
(07:00):
you live here, how do you afford it? And it's expensive, right,
And I turned to him and I said, well, two things. One,
once you get in, like if you're able to buy
a home in California, you're kind of set because with
the exception of like two thousand and eight to twenty ten,
you're going to always make money in the house here.
Maybe right now it's a little flat, but housing price
(07:23):
keep so once you once you're in, you're kind of in.
And then once you get used just like New York,
once you get used to the pricing, like you're kind
of used to as like all right, and you make
more money for what you're doing, they fail to say
that shit like oh man, them prices are crazy, Like yeah,
you can make a lot more money relatively, you know.
(07:44):
So I go, so I said, well, you know, it's
never as good as they tell you, never as bad
as they tell you, you know, And then I broke in
my line. You know, I la is so expensively, why
it's because worth it? And so he's like, well, what
about them gas prices. I was like, well, I don't
live there, like, but I drove an electric car. And again,
(08:08):
I don't know, you just kind of built it into
the costs, right, Like, whatever you deal with it, part
of the deal. You know, if you want to live
closer to the water, or you want to live closer
in proximity to a city that people give a shit about,
you're gonna pay more money wherever it is. But I
just I find it hysterical that people can pick up
(08:29):
one little thing on social media or media whatever. And
I mean even with this DC thing with the federal
troops right where there's a terrible story about a car jacking.
It's terrible. Then you look at the overall data and
says the area's actually way better than it's ever been.
But again, you pick up on a small store, you
make it the narrative. That's what they're doing. It's crazy.
(08:50):
And look again, the left did that with the George
Floyd thing and with some of his other stuff. Right.
You take a story which is a bad story, right,
there's no winners in it. Now, nobody comes out looking good,
not right, But you make that into the overall narrative
of all the things like, yeah, we do that in
sports too. There's people who don't like athletes who guy
(09:14):
gets a dui or guy beats his wife, and the
black athletes like, okay, well, there's fifty three guys in
an NFL roster, so one in fifty three or even
two in fifty three step out of line. That's actually
a pretty good ratio and comberson to the rest of
the world. I bring that up because that's my way
of getting around and as I positioned myself properly, like
(09:38):
I'm squarely in the middle. I don't like anybody. I
just don't. I don't agree with everybody on anything. You know.
I'm pro Israel. I lived there, I was a dual
citizen there, and I think the way in which the
story is portrayed by many in the media is fucking disgraceful.
On the other hand, I'm anti all this project twenty
(09:58):
twenty five bullshit. Okay, so which apparently appears to be
happening they told you is gonna happen. It's happening because
people don't read. So I'm squarely in the middle. So
you can send all your hate mail to me and
understand that I don't really like or agree or have
to agree with anybody on anything. Neither do you. That's
that's the beauty to this country. So I was, uh,
(10:25):
I was on the plane and I'm watching this story
about the Oklahoma quarterback and I thought it was hysterical.
The guy's name is John Matteer. He transferred in from
Washington State, and somebody went back and checked his Venmo
and found like what you know, it's like when you
do venmo, you can put what's it for or whatever,
(10:46):
or a note and if you don't, if you make
it public, anybody can, Like you could put crack cocaine.
I have friends that put like crack, you know. I
actually I've done that for my daughter, right, or I'll
put like crack. Right. It's because I was giving her
money for red Bull and that's like her crack, Like
(11:06):
she drinks way too much red Bull. And what's the
other one. That's the the energy drink that's like fifteen
times the caffeine celsius, celsius, celsius, yes, celsius. So I've
you know, like somebody searches mine. If mine, for whatever reason,
was public, they'd be like, you're sending your daughter money
for crack, Like Noah was sarcastic because she wanted to
(11:28):
get a case of Red Bull and she didn't have
any money, and so I fronted her some money for it. Right,
So that appears to be what's happened. But let's get
into a bunch of different parts of it. Here's the
first part of it. If you're searching through somebody's venmo
who you don't know, you're a fucking douche, Like what
(11:49):
are you doing? Like really, what are you doing? Now?
What John Mattier needs to understand and this is something
that I've learned the hard way, is like you you're
a public figure. Now, that's the difference between Washington State
and Oklahoma. It's perfect example. If you think other' both
division and football programs like no now, at Oklahoma, the
(12:14):
Texas fans are going to go through your shit. Right
at Washington State, like nobody from Washington Like, that's not
a pack a Pacific Northwest people that they don't do
that shit. It's just not that's the old sec. It
means more. Yeah, or you're super creepy, which is kind
of the same, kind of the same. You're super fucking creepy,
(12:35):
You're just creepy. So The first thing is to whoever
the douchebag is, like, who thinks like I'm a super sleuth,
I've cracked the code. I've fucked with Oklahoma, I've fucked
their world completely up. Like most of us are sitting
there going like, that's what you did on a Monday.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yes, Chris, this isn't Apparently, from what people are saying,
this might not even be like a real reporter. Apparently
there's never been someone at the Valley News Live that
is hired by this name, and people found his profile
pick is actually of a hockey player from Northeastern five
years ago.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
This is just the same thing happened, the same thing
happened to me with the it's completely anonymous with thee
with the nobody you thing. Okay, so if you're if
you've forgotten, here's what happened. We play Santa Barbara and
we're up fifteen first half. Eight to halftime, we're up
eight and the leading scorer in the country, Anthony Royd,
(13:30):
breaks his ankle and we fall apart. We have some
other foul troubles. They played well, they beat us, so
we come home, really a long hard trip home, and
we're playing Michigan Tech, who's a really good Division two team,
and they have several kids from Green Bay, and we
sort of knew what we were doing, like, yeah, we
want to get people there and want to be a
big thing. And I had said previous to the game, like, hey,
(13:52):
we don't I don't want to play at nobody you.
I don't want to play traffic cones. No one on
I said, no one on our schedule is incapable of
beating as a matter of fact, I think we're underdogs
in like all but like two or three games, you know. So,
so somebody purported themselves as a Wisconsin Division three like
(14:18):
reporter or podcaster and cut edited it to where I said,
you're like, I don't want to play nobody you and
made it out like Michigan Tech was nobody, which is
the exact opposite of what I said, right, because I said,
nobody on everybody else schedule is good. We're not playing
nobody you. And it became a thing because we're up
(14:40):
thirteen and without our best player and my point guard,
Preston Rudiger, dives on the floor, four guys land on
top of him, gets a concussion, lose him, get a
technical foul, with our big guy and just you know,
anything goes wrong and go wrong, you lose. But it's
not about like I only lost the game. There's the
things we could have done to win the game. But
(15:02):
I would also tell you that it's the same shit
where it's somebody who's a fucking douchebag who you know, like, again,
no one is that stupid. I don't think to put
like sports gambling on their venmo, but takes it, screenshots,
(15:22):
it pretends to be a reporter and then outs the
kid who's probably going to practice dated Like what the
fuck right? So congratulations, It's it's actually kind of fun
because it is distracting, you know, it is distracting, much
like who is this Tarika Foster Rasbee? Just is that
(15:47):
purple hair? Is that pink hair?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's a purple issue. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They have the w NBA Power Rankings on CBS Sports Network.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Liberty's at three now the three.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Libody climbing up the rankings.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, Hey, here's the thing, nobody gives this ship. Just
if you really want to help the really want to
help help the raid the ratings just tucking. It's all
the body cares about. Nobody knows any of these other teams, Like,
can you name anybody on the links? Do you even
(16:24):
know where the links are?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, there we go, But no, I can't, can't name anyone, No,
nobody fucking cares. Just say it. You know, people are like, oh,
how do you handle yourself on your women's program? Women's
from it's awesome. There's nothing wrong with women's basketball. Just
don't try and tell me irrelevant when not just not
forcing it anyway. Also, the Venmo thing is there's there's
(16:52):
a lot of competition out there. Right, there's cash app,
there's zell I still use PayPal, there's PayPal link to
a bunch of different stuff. Right. I've had cash in
my wallet now for like a week. It's been empowering
and scary, Like I fear dropping it. I don't know why.
(17:16):
Why would I drop my cash? Ever? Right, I would
ever drop my cash? But yeah, it's it's empowering and
scary all at the same time. And you're just sitting
there going like, remember the days of cash, Remember the
days when we collect pennies, right or loose change. I
(17:37):
used to do this thing when I was a little kid.
I had the best luck in the world. Do you
guys ever go to like the when they'd have like
a row of phones and feel for the coins underneath,
see which ones came through. I would always get coins always.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I think the worst was always just quarters. I think
I actually used to go to a bank and ask
for a roll of quarters because the laundromat in my apartment,
for yeah, even like ten years ago, still only take quarters.
Now they all like have like an app attached to
them and stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I'd try that at arcades. Let's see you go on
ocad works as well.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
To check around vending machines. I always check if someone's
left like a dime and event in like one of
those coin coin exchanges.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, hmm uh. Anyway, the kid like, we're gonna make
this out to be like a show. Heyo to anything
right where somebody's gonna take fall from them, And the
kid probably did nothing right, right, just kids fucking around.
It's part of me envs these kids right because they're
well compensated. Part of me is like doesn't envym because
(18:44):
there's still kids and they do stupid shit and they're
being judged like their professionals. So what a weird It's
got to be just a weird day, like think about
it even like two months and I like, cay remember
the day where that they thought John Mattier was like gambling,
Like oh yeah, what was like August twelve? August twelve.
(19:07):
So let's find out who what's annoying us?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And now it's your annoying.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
All right, Ryan, you said you had something go for it?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I do. So you mentioned Sho Otani in this in
reference to John Mittire. We have this new lawsuit with
Showy Otani and a whole lot of people are seeing
it and their reaction is geez, yeah, I told you
there's something wrong with this guy. There's something going on here.
(19:43):
I'd like, for one critic of Otani in regards to
this lawsuit, explain what the lawsuit actually is, because I've
read multiple articles about it and it's still like not
fully clear exactly. Basically, what he's alleged to a done
is that this luxury real estate developer who has multiple
(20:05):
properties in Hawaii already had this fourteen property project Ocean
Front Luxury real Estate in Hawaii that Otani was going
to be a spokesperson for and would also own one
of the properties and have a baseball facility there, amongst
(20:25):
these properties and somehow, some way, the allegations are that
Otani's agent got aggressive with them and then forced them
out thereby sabotaging the entire deal, which honestly, I feel
like this is a nothing burger of a story, Like
I really do. And I think that people are just
taking shots at Otani because they can and they want to,
(20:48):
and that's all it comes down to.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Me, right, Plus you have the gambling things, so yeah,
people are automatically assume the worst people. Yeah, yeah, I
feel yeah, I don't know enough about it, right right,
but also feel like, you know, again, somebody handles your
business stuff, you're like fucking handle it.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, you know exactly, because that's that's who Tani is.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
So so they got they got, he got forced out.
Is the project going forward?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I think that the project's dead, but they also dead.
I think so, but I'm not sure. It's hard to like, Yeah,
this this story is weird. I also see things in
stories where they're like they're also alleging that Otani like
hurts some of their other properties, so like this is
just one of many properties that these investors have where
they wanted to sell these luxury uh mansions Ocean front
(21:35):
to specifically Japanese business people.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah. And uh, you ever been to Hawaii? You know that? Yeah,
it's you know, that's a great vacation spot. So that
has a place to live for Japanese. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah, so I really I think that this is just
it's not a story. But people are taking their their
shots at Otani because they want to. And and you
have weirdos who are like, yeah, you see, I told
you there's there's something wrong with them. And there's smoke,
there's fire.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
No.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
No, It's clear that Otani has always like only cared
about baseball since birth. Uh that's why the only pay
thing happened, because he wanted e pay to handle all
of his finances. I'm fully focused on baseball. That's all
I care about. That's all I want to do. I
have a ton of money, but please other people take
care of it. I just want to win. I just
want to play baseball. And because of that, yeah, there
(22:22):
are there are people who see that money and and uh,
you know, take their shots at him because he's probably
not as focused on his money as he is with
his his life and his game.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Uh, profet, you get some annoying you Uh yeah, And
this has actually been bubbling up for a couple of
days with me as we are getting closer and closer
to the NFL season. I understand, you know, it's the Cowboys.
You can make a lot of money just yanking the
crank and just talk Cowboys and everyone will flock to it.
But I is everyone okay with like what the Cowboys
(22:56):
are or what they're supposed to do this season? Because
I saw the other day, like a video that gets
pushed to me about here's why Stephen A. Smith thinks
the Cowboys won't make the NFC Championship. Wait, we were,
we were thinking about them going to the NFC Championship?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Are you for?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Are you for fucking real? And now I open up
and again and now the next video that's been pushed
to me is swaggo up in arms about Micah Parsons
contract affecting the Cowboys. And if you don't know the
name swaggu apparently that's what we're calling Marcus Spears. Now
I didn't even know this was like a A A
A nickname.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, got he's always been that's always been a say name.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, then that that's just me out of the loop.
But still like Michah Parsons contract affecting the Cowboys. But like, yeah,
like that's your organization.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
At what point, here's stud I guess at one point,
here's the thing. Okay, and I'll try to not be
a dick, but I'm going to be a dick. Do
you do we really care what Steven A. Smith says
about football?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, we're gonna get a lot of what he thinks
about football shoved down our throats here very soon this year.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Uh more so than the past.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, I think aren't they like it's starting to include
him on like some of the Countdown and Monday night broadcasts.
That seems to be their plan over there.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Uh well, I mean, like obviously they're trying to get
value added out of sure, out of a terrible contract.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I just I just wonder at one point, like let.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Me just let me just well, you're okay with what
the Cowboys are? What do you mean you think they're
gonna suck?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I think they're just at best going to be a
middling team. Maybe maybe they get into the playoffs. But like,
I do you do you say, right now, you see
the Cowboys one of the two best teams in the
NFC that will make the championship. So why are we
talking about them going to the championship like they.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Were talking about him going to the championship.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Steven A. I just I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
He doesn't know anything about football. He never goes to
fucking he doesn't go to training camps, he doesn't call people,
he doesn't fuck. He just fucking shows up on TV
and does it right. He does slightly more, actually goes
to NBA games and has connections there because he used
to be a writer. But like, dude, you're really taking
what steven A. Smith is saying about the Dallas Cowboys.
(25:01):
He's been a Dallas Cowboy troll since he started working
with Steve as Skip Bayless. That's been his act. So
do I think the Cowboys are good? Now? Do I
talk about him only because the Micah Parson's thing, But
part of the time talk about the Michael Parsons thing
is fucking stupid. He's gonna be a cowboy. You're not
a free agent when your rookie contract expires, You're not. Yeah,
(25:22):
the franchise tag two years, then you can do the
transition tag if he wants three years. Not fucking going anywhere.
They had an agreement. Then the agent's like, WHOA, what
the fuck you mean? He had an agreement without me.
But it's not gonna be so big that he wants
to blow up the deal. So they'll get the deal done.
He'll have to add some sweetener to it. End of
the story, and he'll play. He'll probably start practicing. I'm
guessing it happens next week. Next week's probably about right,
(25:45):
and you know he's showing up saying his back hurt
so he doesn't get fined and they don't have to
take off the fines. When it's it's I prefet I
promise you, like, that's not the that's not the guy.
That's not the guy to get up and on about.
But if it if it annoys you, or if it
annoys you that you turn on. They keep talking about
the Cowboys, well, like you're just not gonna like football
(26:06):
season because everybody talks about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I just I just I guess I thought when people
started talking about Jerry Jones and noticing all this stuff
that Jerry Jones gets up to, this might finally signal
a bit of a sea change on how we talk
about the Cowboys. We will still talk about the Cowboys.
But at some point we're finally going to start not
taking them as a serious contender year in and year out,
(26:28):
because I just don't see them as a serious contender.
Like I feel like, at some point, doesn't the coverage
change to what a weird circus the Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, again, they've had plenty of bad years here, Like
it's they actually had a couple of good years together
in a row, which they haven't hadn't had in like
two decades, so they've actually been way better than they
had in the past. But like, if you if you're
not new to this game, we're gonna talk about the
Cowboys whatever. Oh and I even the light. But I
do think life is better when they're good. And then
(27:03):
they get beaten the playoffs, and when they got beat
by the Packers a couple of years ago, then it
was fucking that was fun.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
So yeah, listen, I thoroughly enjoy like this past year
when the Lions like put like forty whatever points that
was on them, like that, that's good. That always hits
a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yep, Okay, can I do what's annoying me?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's your show.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It is the coffee thing annoys me. And here's what
I'm gonna say, Okay about the coffee thing. It's I
love coffee, but I felt like I love coffee before
coffee was cool, and now coffee is like everything and everywhere,
and everybody's doing the pham top thing as well, like
(27:44):
literally every place has a phone top, every place you
name it. Dutch brothers, Have you guys been a seven bruise?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I have not. Apparently pretty good, Okay, seven Brews, there's Scooters,
there's a uh coffee bean and tea leaf obviously, Starbucks Phills,
which I wish would expand to Wisconsin. They're in Chicago, Duncan,
(28:15):
Duncan everybody, and there's all kinds of Tom Dick and
Harry little little coffee shops. But I just and I'm
I've never been like it just a black coffee drinker,
but we have. It does feel like we've completely jumped
the shark, Like now it's basically dessert, basically dessert.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Some of those feel like they're meant to just be
put on like social media. Like I was reading a
great Bloomberg article about like Dubai chocolate and these random trends, which,
by the way, I can't go anywhere now with like
a Dubai chocolate bar. You know what those are? Those
like pistachio stuffed bars. Didn't know these things are all
over but like it feels like probably hasn't area.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
As they agree with it a couple of years. No
lab boo boo either, No, there's no boo boos. No,
there's no boo boos.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, all over here.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, those things are crazy expensive, right, they're.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Actually not if you were able to get it at
like sticker price, it's like twenty five bucks. But it's
the demand is so boo boo. Yeah really yeah, where
can you get them for twenty five bucks? You get them?
It's unfortunately I know too much about this, so it's
it's through PopMart and they but they like they they
(29:33):
create the demand for it, like they only release a
certain amount at a time, and they sell out like
super quick, and they make it like a game in
order to actually buy one, and it's fine, but then
the resale is like fifty dollars back.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Don't they sell them like booster packs of cards or something.
It's just you don't know what you're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Basically, Yeah, it's it's a blind box. So it's yeah, okay,
and that's.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Uh so, what's the most annoying What it is yours?
It was people jumping on show, Hey Tony, Yes, yeah,
it's it's it's fucking annoying because nobody but you know
some of this he does himself right where we don't
like no, sure, yeah, but still you're I don't know.
This is the problem with like lawsuits where they're they're
(30:16):
really more forget people's attention to make people look like assholes. Yeah,
so it's annoying. All right, that's it for the end
of the Bonus podcast. You got the radio show every
day three to five Easter from Tel two Pacific, Foxford Tradio,
I Heart Radio. Ap'm Doug Gotlie
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in
the Bonus with Doug Gottlieb. What up Doug Gottlieb Show
in the Bonus Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio app. So here's
what we're gonna do. So fet Ryan Jaysu's not here,
(00:24):
so you know, fuck him. Let's just do our own thing, right,
we don't, We don't need what's so annoying Jason Stewart. Oh,
let me Jay, what's annoying me? Gen Z's annoying me? Right? Literally,
gen Z annoys him. I got one little mini rant
that I want to hit you with. And then I
want to talk about the OU quarterback who was accused
(00:44):
of gambling and seems to be diffused in a matter
of like I don't know, five hours. So there's a
couple of things here. Good to be with you, by
the way, I'm joining you from Los Angeles, our our
Shimernos Studio, which I've only been able to do I
don't know, like four or five times since I become
a head coach and got back to LA. And here's
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna stand up for my hometown.
(01:07):
My hometown is not really Los Angeles, Strange County, but
it's just forever. Southern California takes a beating because this
is what politicians choose to do. And there's there's an expression. Yeah,
people usually use it about divorce, right, Why it is
divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it? Right? But why
(01:29):
is why is La so expensive? And the answer is
because it's fucking worth it. And what I find to
be just comical is and and look, I'm in Wisconsin.
You get all these people like, well, it's like War
of the World's out there. Hey, coach you and listen.
It is less expensive other places. And I love living
in the Midwest, and Midwest nice is a real thing.
(01:54):
But it's like eighty degrees and no humanity today and
it's fucking amazing. And you know what it's gonna be
like tomorrow, the exact same thing. You know it's gonna
be like the day after that, the exact same thing.
And I used to say this all the time when
people go like, oh, you live in LA, Like, yeah,
I do. You don't have seasons? Yeah, we do the
good one, right once we do the one that you
seem to all want to come out of here. And
(02:15):
this is This is the kind of aha moment I had,
because when you tell people you're from southern California, from California,
they all go to like straight Fox News, like the
world is coming to an end and you can't you
have to like step over dead bodies, decaying bodies or
homeless people, which there are areas where you have to
do that. Okay, let's like, let's art. But the reason
(02:35):
the homeless people are here is because it's awesome. Weather's
always nice, right, And it's like they can't go to
Chicago because they'll melt in the summer and freeze in
the winter. Duh. Anyway, there was a point there. So
here's the hypocrisy to the narrative frankly of the right. Right,
frankly of the right, and I actually think the right
(02:58):
is genius. They've done this with the Sydney Sweeney ads
where they're like the left fucked you left, you don't
like hot chicks, like what like huh. I tell people
all the time, like I'm a radical centrist, but I
also care about people, and I've voted Democratic for the
most part most of my life. I've never had a
problem with a beautiful woman ever. Now are there people. Yeah,
(03:21):
but there's also people on the far right that think
you're supposed to have like fifteen babies not use birth control, right,
And they also claim to be like super Christians, yet
they've been divorced four or five times. Like, it's kind
of hard. You're kind of hypocritical too. I don't really
want to hang out with you either. So there's people
on either side we don't want to hang out with.
But the genius to the right is they take some
really small, infantest smile, infintestimal like opinion off of some
(03:46):
sort of social media and they make it out into
this is what the left things, or they take one
stat and the right does it as well. I mean,
you know they do the right will do where they'll go. Oh,
gas prices and they are expensive, they are, so I
don't really have a way to combat the gas prices
(04:07):
except for, you know, mostly because of taxes. And it
was the idea behind it was to get you to
drive less, or use use electric cars, or use public transportation,
which actually kind of makes sense to me. But here's
the ultimate hypocrisy. So my daughter Grace was at my
(04:30):
house for about a little bit more of a week
and we were hanging out and she's like, hey, I
gotta go clothes shopping for school. She's a sophomore in college,
all right, So we head down to Appleton. Appleton is
from where I live. It's like forty minutes and again
in the old land that time forgot. I give you Appleton, Wisconsin,
which I know people are digging out from these floods.
(04:51):
They have them all there, and the mall is like
really nice and not going out of business because people
still go to the mall there right where they don't
and had all the basic stores, right, all the basic
life teenage to early college stores, right, Hollister packsun a
couple other ones, you know where they got all kind
(05:11):
of you know, all the shit, right, And when you
go into all those stores, I mean, I know, Hollister
is supposed to be like Hollister California, which is up
by Centta Barbara, past Canta Barbara, I think. But you
go into all of those stores and they all have
like LA or California T shirts all of them. And
(05:31):
by the way, if they don't have California, they have
New York. And it's just really interesting to me that
we're kind of in the same cycle we've always been in,
but it's just it's just louder and more pronounced. Where
old people tell you don't move to California New York.
Young people are all super into the idea of getting
(05:53):
the fuck out of town and going to California and
New York. Right, that's why they buy the clothes that
they think that are cool in California New York and
were they really not because you know, and no one
does in LA. They don't wear any shirts that's say LA,
unless it's LA Dodgers, right anyway, Like it's the opposite
of Harvard guy, Right, how do you know the guy
(06:14):
went to Harvard? Just wait, he'll tell you, or he's
wearing something says Harvard. There's never been a Harvard person
that doesn't tell you within the first five minutes you're
talking that they went to Harvard, or they're not wearing
something Harvard. Right, LA people are the opposite. If we
spot you wearing something LA other than like the Dodgers
or Lakers, whatever, then we know you're not from LA.
(06:37):
Makes sense. So I'm on the plane today and I
land and there's a family behind me, and the little
girl was like, I'm home, and some other guy stands
up and goes, uh, he's because a plane came in
from Dallas. And the guy stands up and he's like, oh,
(07:00):
you live here, how do you afford it? And it's expensive, right,
And I turned to him and I said, well, two things. One,
once you get in, like if you're able to buy
a home in California, you're kind of set because with
the exception of like two thousand and eight to twenty ten,
you're going to always make money in the house here.
Maybe right now it's a little flat, but housing price
(07:23):
keep so once you once you're in, you're kind of in.
And then once you get used just like New York,
once you get used to the pricing, like you're kind
of used to as like all right, and you make
more money for what you're doing, they fail to say
that shit like oh man, them prices are crazy, Like yeah,
you can make a lot more money relatively, you know.
(07:44):
So I go, so I said, well, you know, it's
never as good as they tell you, never as bad
as they tell you, you know, And then I broke in
my line. You know, I la is so expensively, why
it's because worth it? And so he's like, well, what
about them gas prices. I was like, well, I don't
live there, like, but I drove an electric car. And again,
(08:08):
I don't know, you just kind of built it into
the costs, right, Like, whatever you deal with it, part
of the deal. You know, if you want to live
closer to the water, or you want to live closer
in proximity to a city that people give a shit about,
you're gonna pay more money wherever it is. But I
just I find it hysterical that people can pick up
(08:29):
one little thing on social media or media whatever. And
I mean even with this DC thing with the federal
troops right where there's a terrible story about a car jacking.
It's terrible. Then you look at the overall data and
says the area's actually way better than it's ever been.
But again, you pick up on a small store, you
make it the narrative. That's what they're doing. It's crazy.
(08:50):
And look again, the left did that with the George
Floyd thing and with some of his other stuff. Right.
You take a story which is a bad story, right,
there's no winners in it. Now, nobody comes out looking good,
not right, But you make that into the overall narrative
of all the things like, yeah, we do that in
sports too. There's people who don't like athletes who guy
(09:14):
gets a dui or guy beats his wife, and the
black athletes like, okay, well, there's fifty three guys in
an NFL roster, so one in fifty three or even
two in fifty three step out of line. That's actually
a pretty good ratio and comberson to the rest of
the world. I bring that up because that's my way
of getting around and as I positioned myself properly, like
(09:38):
I'm squarely in the middle. I don't like anybody. I
just don't. I don't agree with everybody on anything. You know.
I'm pro Israel. I lived there, I was a dual
citizen there, and I think the way in which the
story is portrayed by many in the media is fucking disgraceful.
On the other hand, I'm anti all this project twenty
(09:58):
twenty five bullshit. Okay, so which apparently appears to be
happening they told you is gonna happen. It's happening because
people don't read. So I'm squarely in the middle. So
you can send all your hate mail to me and
understand that I don't really like or agree or have
to agree with anybody on anything. Neither do you. That's
that's the beauty to this country. So I was, uh,
(10:25):
I was on the plane and I'm watching this story
about the Oklahoma quarterback and I thought it was hysterical.
The guy's name is John Matteer. He transferred in from
Washington State, and somebody went back and checked his Venmo
and found like what you know, it's like when you
do venmo, you can put what's it for or whatever,
(10:46):
or a note and if you don't, if you make
it public, anybody can, Like you could put crack cocaine.
I have friends that put like crack, you know. I
actually I've done that for my daughter, right, or I'll
put like crack. Right. It's because I was giving her
money for red Bull and that's like her crack, Like
(11:06):
she drinks way too much red Bull. And what's the
other one. That's the the energy drink that's like fifteen
times the caffeine celsius, celsius, celsius, yes, celsius. So I've
you know, like somebody searches mine. If mine, for whatever reason,
was public, they'd be like, you're sending your daughter money
for crack, Like Noah was sarcastic because she wanted to
(11:28):
get a case of Red Bull and she didn't have
any money, and so I fronted her some money for it. Right,
So that appears to be what's happened. But let's get
into a bunch of different parts of it. Here's the
first part of it. If you're searching through somebody's venmo
who you don't know, you're a fucking douche, Like what
(11:49):
are you doing? Like really, what are you doing? Now?
What John Mattier needs to understand and this is something
that I've learned the hard way, is like you you're
a public figure. Now, that's the difference between Washington State
and Oklahoma. It's perfect example. If you think other' both
division and football programs like no now, at Oklahoma, the
(12:14):
Texas fans are going to go through your shit. Right
at Washington State, like nobody from Washington Like, that's not
a pack a Pacific Northwest people that they don't do
that shit. It's just not that's the old sec. It
means more. Yeah, or you're super creepy, which is kind
of the same, kind of the same. You're super fucking creepy,
(12:35):
You're just creepy. So The first thing is to whoever
the douchebag is, like, who thinks like I'm a super sleuth,
I've cracked the code. I've fucked with Oklahoma, I've fucked
their world completely up. Like most of us are sitting
there going like, that's what you did on a Monday.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yes, Chris, this isn't Apparently, from what people are saying,
this might not even be like a real reporter. Apparently
there's never been someone at the Valley News Live that
is hired by this name, and people found his profile
pick is actually of a hockey player from Northeastern five
years ago.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
This is just the same thing happened, the same thing
happened to me with the it's completely anonymous with thee
with the nobody you thing. Okay, so if you're if
you've forgotten, here's what happened. We play Santa Barbara and
we're up fifteen first half. Eight to halftime, we're up
eight and the leading scorer in the country, Anthony Royd,
(13:30):
breaks his ankle and we fall apart. We have some
other foul troubles. They played well, they beat us, so
we come home, really a long hard trip home, and
we're playing Michigan Tech, who's a really good Division two team,
and they have several kids from Green Bay, and we
sort of knew what we were doing, like, yeah, we
want to get people there and want to be a
big thing. And I had said previous to the game, like, hey,
(13:52):
we don't I don't want to play at nobody you.
I don't want to play traffic cones. No one on
I said, no one on our schedule is incapable of
beating as a matter of fact, I think we're underdogs
in like all but like two or three games, you know. So,
so somebody purported themselves as a Wisconsin Division three like
(14:18):
reporter or podcaster and cut edited it to where I said,
you're like, I don't want to play nobody you and
made it out like Michigan Tech was nobody, which is
the exact opposite of what I said, right, because I said,
nobody on everybody else schedule is good. We're not playing
nobody you. And it became a thing because we're up
(14:40):
thirteen and without our best player and my point guard,
Preston Rudiger, dives on the floor, four guys land on
top of him, gets a concussion, lose him, get a
technical foul, with our big guy and just you know,
anything goes wrong and go wrong, you lose. But it's
not about like I only lost the game. There's the
things we could have done to win the game. But
(15:02):
I would also tell you that it's the same shit
where it's somebody who's a fucking douchebag who you know, like, again,
no one is that stupid. I don't think to put
like sports gambling on their venmo, but takes it, screenshots,
(15:22):
it pretends to be a reporter and then outs the
kid who's probably going to practice dated Like what the
fuck right? So congratulations, It's it's actually kind of fun
because it is distracting, you know, it is distracting, much
like who is this Tarika Foster Rasbee? Just is that
(15:47):
purple hair? Is that pink hair?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's a purple issue. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They have the w NBA Power Rankings on CBS Sports Network.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Liberty's at three now the three.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Libody climbing up the rankings.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, Hey, here's the thing, nobody gives this ship. Just
if you really want to help the really want to
help help the raid the ratings just tucking. It's all
the body cares about. Nobody knows any of these other teams, Like,
can you name anybody on the links? Do you even
(16:24):
know where the links are?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, there we go, But no, I can't, can't name anyone, No,
nobody fucking cares. Just say it. You know, people are like, oh,
how do you handle yourself on your women's program? Women's
from it's awesome. There's nothing wrong with women's basketball. Just
don't try and tell me irrelevant when not just not
forcing it anyway. Also, the Venmo thing is there's there's
(16:52):
a lot of competition out there. Right, there's cash app,
there's zell I still use PayPal, there's PayPal link to
a bunch of different stuff. Right. I've had cash in
my wallet now for like a week. It's been empowering
and scary, Like I fear dropping it. I don't know why.
(17:16):
Why would I drop my cash? Ever? Right, I would
ever drop my cash? But yeah, it's it's empowering and
scary all at the same time. And you're just sitting
there going like, remember the days of cash, Remember the
days when we collect pennies, right or loose change. I
(17:37):
used to do this thing when I was a little kid.
I had the best luck in the world. Do you
guys ever go to like the when they'd have like
a row of phones and feel for the coins underneath,
see which ones came through. I would always get coins always.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I think the worst was always just quarters. I think
I actually used to go to a bank and ask
for a roll of quarters because the laundromat in my apartment,
for yeah, even like ten years ago, still only take quarters.
Now they all like have like an app attached to
them and stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I'd try that at arcades. Let's see you go on
ocad works as well.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
To check around vending machines. I always check if someone's
left like a dime and event in like one of
those coin coin exchanges.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, hmm uh. Anyway, the kid like, we're gonna make
this out to be like a show. Heyo to anything
right where somebody's gonna take fall from them, And the
kid probably did nothing right, right, just kids fucking around.
It's part of me envs these kids right because they're
well compensated. Part of me is like doesn't envym because
(18:44):
there's still kids and they do stupid shit and they're
being judged like their professionals. So what a weird It's
got to be just a weird day, like think about
it even like two months and I like, cay remember
the day where that they thought John Mattier was like gambling,
Like oh yeah, what was like August twelve? August twelve.
(19:07):
So let's find out who what's annoying us?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And now it's your annoying.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
All right, Ryan, you said you had something go for it?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I do. So you mentioned Sho Otani in this in
reference to John Mittire. We have this new lawsuit with
Showy Otani and a whole lot of people are seeing
it and their reaction is geez, yeah, I told you
there's something wrong with this guy. There's something going on here.
(19:43):
I'd like, for one critic of Otani in regards to
this lawsuit, explain what the lawsuit actually is, because I've
read multiple articles about it and it's still like not
fully clear exactly. Basically, what he's alleged to a done
is that this luxury real estate developer who has multiple
(20:05):
properties in Hawaii already had this fourteen property project Ocean
Front Luxury real Estate in Hawaii that Otani was going
to be a spokesperson for and would also own one
of the properties and have a baseball facility there, amongst
(20:25):
these properties and somehow, some way, the allegations are that
Otani's agent got aggressive with them and then forced them
out thereby sabotaging the entire deal, which honestly, I feel
like this is a nothing burger of a story, Like
I really do. And I think that people are just
taking shots at Otani because they can and they want to,
(20:48):
and that's all it comes down to.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Me, right, Plus you have the gambling things, so yeah,
people are automatically assume the worst people. Yeah, yeah, I
feel yeah, I don't know enough about it, right right,
but also feel like, you know, again, somebody handles your
business stuff, you're like fucking handle it.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, you know exactly, because that's that's who Tani is.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
So so they got they got, he got forced out.
Is the project going forward?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I think that the project's dead, but they also dead.
I think so, but I'm not sure. It's hard to like, Yeah,
this this story is weird. I also see things in
stories where they're like they're also alleging that Otani like
hurts some of their other properties, so like this is
just one of many properties that these investors have where
they wanted to sell these luxury uh mansions Ocean front
(21:35):
to specifically Japanese business people.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah. And uh, you ever been to Hawaii? You know that? Yeah,
it's you know, that's a great vacation spot. So that
has a place to live for Japanese. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Yeah, so I really I think that this is just
it's not a story. But people are taking their their
shots at Otani because they want to. And and you
have weirdos who are like, yeah, you see, I told
you there's there's something wrong with them. And there's smoke,
there's fire.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
No.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
No, It's clear that Otani has always like only cared
about baseball since birth. Uh that's why the only pay
thing happened, because he wanted e pay to handle all
of his finances. I'm fully focused on baseball. That's all
I care about. That's all I want to do. I
have a ton of money, but please other people take
care of it. I just want to win. I just
want to play baseball. And because of that, yeah, there
(22:22):
are there are people who see that money and and uh,
you know, take their shots at him because he's probably
not as focused on his money as he is with
his his life and his game.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Uh, profet, you get some annoying you Uh yeah, And
this has actually been bubbling up for a couple of
days with me as we are getting closer and closer
to the NFL season. I understand, you know, it's the Cowboys.
You can make a lot of money just yanking the
crank and just talk Cowboys and everyone will flock to it.
But I is everyone okay with like what the Cowboys
(22:56):
are or what they're supposed to do this season? Because
I saw the other day, like a video that gets
pushed to me about here's why Stephen A. Smith thinks
the Cowboys won't make the NFC Championship. Wait, we were,
we were thinking about them going to the NFC Championship?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Are you for?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Are you for fucking real? And now I open up
and again and now the next video that's been pushed
to me is swaggo up in arms about Micah Parsons
contract affecting the Cowboys. And if you don't know the
name swaggu apparently that's what we're calling Marcus Spears. Now
I didn't even know this was like a A A
A nickname.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, got he's always been that's always been a say name.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, then that that's just me out of the loop.
But still like Michah Parsons contract affecting the Cowboys. But like, yeah,
like that's your organization.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
At what point, here's stud I guess at one point,
here's the thing. Okay, and I'll try to not be
a dick, but I'm going to be a dick. Do
you do we really care what Steven A. Smith says
about football?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, we're gonna get a lot of what he thinks
about football shoved down our throats here very soon this year.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Uh more so than the past.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, I think aren't they like it's starting to include
him on like some of the Countdown and Monday night broadcasts.
That seems to be their plan over there.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Uh well, I mean, like obviously they're trying to get
value added out of sure, out of a terrible contract.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I just I just wonder at one point, like let.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Me just let me just well, you're okay with what
the Cowboys are? What do you mean you think they're
gonna suck?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I think they're just at best going to be a
middling team. Maybe maybe they get into the playoffs. But like,
I do you do you say, right now, you see
the Cowboys one of the two best teams in the
NFC that will make the championship. So why are we
talking about them going to the championship like they.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Were talking about him going to the championship.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Steven A. I just I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
He doesn't know anything about football. He never goes to
fucking he doesn't go to training camps, he doesn't call people,
he doesn't fuck. He just fucking shows up on TV
and does it right. He does slightly more, actually goes
to NBA games and has connections there because he used
to be a writer. But like, dude, you're really taking
what steven A. Smith is saying about the Dallas Cowboys.
(25:01):
He's been a Dallas Cowboy troll since he started working
with Steve as Skip Bayless. That's been his act. So
do I think the Cowboys are good? Now? Do I
talk about him only because the Micah Parson's thing, But
part of the time talk about the Michael Parsons thing
is fucking stupid. He's gonna be a cowboy. You're not
a free agent when your rookie contract expires, You're not. Yeah,
(25:22):
the franchise tag two years, then you can do the
transition tag if he wants three years. Not fucking going anywhere.
They had an agreement. Then the agent's like, WHOA, what
the fuck you mean? He had an agreement without me.
But it's not gonna be so big that he wants
to blow up the deal. So they'll get the deal done.
He'll have to add some sweetener to it. End of
the story, and he'll play. He'll probably start practicing. I'm
guessing it happens next week. Next week's probably about right,
(25:45):
and you know he's showing up saying his back hurt
so he doesn't get fined and they don't have to
take off the fines. When it's it's I prefet I
promise you, like, that's not the that's not the guy.
That's not the guy to get up and on about.
But if it if it annoys you, or if it
annoys you that you turn on. They keep talking about
the Cowboys, well, like you're just not gonna like football
(26:06):
season because everybody talks about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I just I just I guess I thought when people
started talking about Jerry Jones and noticing all this stuff
that Jerry Jones gets up to, this might finally signal
a bit of a sea change on how we talk
about the Cowboys. We will still talk about the Cowboys.
But at some point we're finally going to start not
taking them as a serious contender year in and year out,
(26:28):
because I just don't see them as a serious contender.
Like I feel like, at some point, doesn't the coverage
change to what a weird circus the Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, again, they've had plenty of bad years here, Like
it's they actually had a couple of good years together
in a row, which they haven't hadn't had in like
two decades, so they've actually been way better than they
had in the past. But like, if you if you're
not new to this game, we're gonna talk about the
Cowboys whatever. Oh and I even the light. But I
do think life is better when they're good. And then
(27:03):
they get beaten the playoffs, and when they got beat
by the Packers a couple of years ago, then it
was fucking that was fun.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
So yeah, listen, I thoroughly enjoy like this past year
when the Lions like put like forty whatever points that
was on them, like that, that's good. That always hits
a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yep, Okay, can I do what's annoying me?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's your show.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It is the coffee thing annoys me. And here's what
I'm gonna say, Okay about the coffee thing. It's I
love coffee, but I felt like I love coffee before
coffee was cool, and now coffee is like everything and everywhere,
and everybody's doing the pham top thing as well, like
(27:44):
literally every place has a phone top, every place you
name it. Dutch brothers, Have you guys been a seven bruise?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I have not. Apparently pretty good, Okay, seven Brews, there's Scooters,
there's a uh coffee bean and tea leaf obviously, Starbucks Phills,
which I wish would expand to Wisconsin. They're in Chicago, Duncan,
(28:15):
Duncan everybody, and there's all kinds of Tom Dick and
Harry little little coffee shops. But I just and I'm
I've never been like it just a black coffee drinker,
but we have. It does feel like we've completely jumped
the shark, Like now it's basically dessert, basically dessert.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Some of those feel like they're meant to just be
put on like social media. Like I was reading a
great Bloomberg article about like Dubai chocolate and these random trends, which,
by the way, I can't go anywhere now with like
a Dubai chocolate bar. You know what those are? Those
like pistachio stuffed bars. Didn't know these things are all
over but like it feels like probably hasn't area.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
As they agree with it a couple of years. No
lab boo boo either, No, there's no boo boos. No,
there's no boo boos.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, all over here.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, those things are crazy expensive, right, they're.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Actually not if you were able to get it at
like sticker price, it's like twenty five bucks. But it's
the demand is so boo boo. Yeah really yeah, where
can you get them for twenty five bucks? You get them?
It's unfortunately I know too much about this, so it's
it's through PopMart and they but they like they they
(29:33):
create the demand for it, like they only release a
certain amount at a time, and they sell out like
super quick, and they make it like a game in
order to actually buy one, and it's fine, but then
the resale is like fifty dollars back.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Don't they sell them like booster packs of cards or something.
It's just you don't know what you're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Basically, Yeah, it's it's a blind box. So it's yeah, okay,
and that's.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Uh so, what's the most annoying What it is yours?
It was people jumping on show, Hey Tony, Yes, yeah,
it's it's it's fucking annoying because nobody but you know
some of this he does himself right where we don't
like no, sure, yeah, but still you're I don't know.
This is the problem with like lawsuits where they're they're
(30:16):
really more forget people's attention to make people look like assholes. Yeah,
so it's annoying. All right, that's it for the end
