Speaker 1 (00:03):
Okay, the Brown University shooting where they didn't have a suspect,
and then all of a sudden they find one in
a storage unit. I don't know, seems sus I don't
trust it, or I don't trust anything from the government
of the FBI. They search for days, didn't know who
it was. Then all of a sudden they go to
a storage unit and they find the dead guy in there.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, what does the reddit post have to do with it?
Did you see that? How somebody on Reddit said that
they ran into a guy. They should look into this guy.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'd liked him, and there was a car license plate.
It was all. I don't give too much credit to Reddit,
other than maybe one out of twenty times somebody's kind
of right. So then we have to look at I
don't give much credit to Reddit.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This whole thing isn't weird, that's real.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, And then the professor died in my t was
the guy that was murdered, and they say that that
had something to do with this guy. But I don't
believe any of it. I don't believe our FBI. I
don't believe our government. All of a sudden, it's so
convenient they can't find him. They don't say who it is.
They say the wrong guy. And all of a sudden,
they find a guy that's dead in a storage unit.
Can you expect us to believe that?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And they're saying he's the suspect, right, he's.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The man suspected of killing two and wounding nine others
at Brown University and then killing a Massachusetts Institute of
Technology professor has been found at a New Hampshire storage
facility where he had rented a.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Unit and then self inflicted gunshot.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Right, Yeah, you guys aren't as cynical as I am
about everything. Did you believe it?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I don't know. I mean, it definitely is suspicious.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
You don't have somebody from multiple dates. It is an embarrassment.
You have nobody. There are videos, they're putting out new videos.
They still can't identify the person. Heck, they identify the
wrong person.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And we don't know everything, but they But.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Again, it was so embarrassing, and all of a sudden,
now they found.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
The person, right right, right?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
In consider me somebody who's not in.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did I believe everything? I see it? I'm like, oh, well,
they found the guy, That's what they did that's what they.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Want us to do.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I know, and I fall for it every time.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And I'm just not conspiracy guy. But this is such
not a conspiracy to me that we get lied to
all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Like have they released anything like from him or do
they have any manifesto?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Or some YouTube videos or social media clips where he's
put up like hints.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's just so easy to say that it's him when
he can't say it's not him.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Because he's dead.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Claudio nevs Valente forty eight, a Portuguese national and former
Brown student, was found dead on Thursday evening from a
self inflicted gunshot wound. Oscar Perez, the Providence police chief,
set at a news conference. Perez said, as far as
the investigators know, the suspect acted alone. Lea Foley, the
US attorney in Massachusetts, set at a separate news conference
in Boston, that the same person also killed Knuno E. F. G. Lreo,
(02:47):
the MIT physics professor who was shot in his home
on Monday. Quote, he took his own life tonight. That's
from the Guardian. And you know what, maybe it's true,
but maybe it's mabelne.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So did what is the MIT professor have.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
To do same school, and they were I think they
he like was like in his class or something. There
was a connection where they knew each other.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, I mean they were about the same age.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, there was a connection where they knew each other.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Mike he had found because like he went to Brown
or he was enrolled in Brown in like two thousand
or two thousand and one. Yeah, and then he's forty
eight and the professor that died was forty seven.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Are those in the same area? What I t in Brown? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Boston, right, I think grew up in that north.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And Brown was in Boston. I thought Brown was like
a New Hampshire.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, that's all the same.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It says, that's a car ride.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
All that stuff is so close. That's a car like
the fact that Connecticut and New York City were so close,
like an hour away, always blew my mind because Theyd
letterman would do a show and drive home to Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh he lived in Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, he just drive home. WHOA, what do you see
as the connection there?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh you don't. I thought you were googling it over there.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Oh I am, I don't. I don't have anything yet.
I guess I'm just I was asking if you're all
check reddit.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
According to it's all on reddit.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah. The part of this article that I'm reading the
tipster who's reddit posts blew the case wide.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh yeah, see that's what I saw. That a Reddit
post is what made investigators look at this guy.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So here's what I don't believe that. If that was
the Reddit post that made investigators look, it was probably
put up by the investigators so they could say, we
found this reddit post to make us look for.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
This guy, the reddit post guy. The guy that posted
was a janitor at Brown University.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Or an asset because it was his former classmate.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Got it any motivation?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So they all seems too easy?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Like is it when someone's found dead? Is when it's
kind of like, huh, No one can talk when they're.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Dead, and the embarrassment of they couldn't find the person
for days.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And twenty five years later you take care of business.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, so the professor was a former classmate from ninety
five to two thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Well, where was that high school?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
A thing in Portugal? Oh, sounds like to be friends. Interesting,
I'm the new town, don't know anybody.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And maybe they were, and then I don't know, something happened.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Seems too too convenient. Uh okay, So there's that. The
second thing was, how about the freaking plane crash yesterday?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Careful did you see it?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, we talked about it, like what the race car
driver the died in plane crash yesterday?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
We're talking about Greg Biffle.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
No, you and I did.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, we didn't talk about another Hispanic feller.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Greg Biffle died fifty five years old. Plane crash. Plane
went up, they hit some issue, tried to turn around.
I guess they weren't gaining altitude. They had to turn
around for emergency landing, same airport crashed.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Did you see his wife? It sent a text to
her mom. She was like, the text just said we're
in trouble and so Eddie's wife and his two daughters
were on the plane.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's so sad.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Greg Biffle and his wife, Christina Biffle died, also the kids.
I'm sure the pilots. I thought at first maybe he
was flying, but I don't think it was when somebody
wants to fly their own plane. I think it was
a bigger plane.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah. I think I saw six people, so I assumed
the other two people were the pilots.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If Yeah, but that was just my massive fire. I
thought when I saw the fire of the plane crash
that it was a it landed and hit hard plane crash,
meaning it was up in the air, had to do
an emergency landing. I didn't realize what had happened where
they couldn't get up Quie had to turn around and
then they hit the ground the same it continues. We
(06:38):
asked for privacy, compassionate understanding as we grieved to begin
the process. Greg Biffle among the dead after a fiery
plane crash in North Carolina. The Cessna C five point fifty,
a light private jet register to a company owned by
the Star crash landed near a runway at a regional airport.
I believe in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, outside of Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, wild Not to start with two stories. Want to
make sure that I touched him. I don't know much
about NASCAR, so I'm not super familiar with him as
a NASCAR driver.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, are you No, I don't really know who he was.
I guess he was.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I heard his name. I think he's an older he's
like early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, it sucked. You got anything good?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Dad?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So far today.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
No, no, no, just in general.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh, I brought you guy sausa.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yes, yeah, that was goin to that. My thing is
I casually said to Eddie, I really want some salsa,
and he said just wait. And I didn't know what
he had in store. But what he had in store
is that he got all of us salsa.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Homemade roasted sasa.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Okay, he has to stop saying it like that because
now you're just doing it for effect.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's how I say it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's not it makes me say it now because you
know we laugh at it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Hey, it was tough too. Yesterday you saw the storm, Dude,
I was smoking in the storm smoking. You smoke all
the ingredients in the smoke. Really, Yeah, that's how you
get the smokers, all the vegetables. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I can't wait to just get some chips and dive
into this.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, everybody have one, one for even the classroom.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Uh yeah, glassroom has it. And then there's a bowl
outside for anyone else that didn't get one.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh, it's like what Morgan did.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Like community bowl.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Who didn't get one? Of course I didn't because he
wants to make me mad.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I'm just saying no, it's cool. Whatever. There's a
community bowl outside of you want something, but.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It looks like everybody got one but lunch box. So
that's his entire community.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I'm just joking. I brought him one. I just wanted to.
I wanted him to not feel the way Morgan made
him feel.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The way Morgan made him feel. Oh yeah, yeah, you
want to do did I don't have to?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah? I got to.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Events from twenty twenty five that will most likely make
it into history books. What do you think happened this year?
History wise? That's still still you would think about because man,
years go by and you're like, oh.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
That happened in there's like a history book. Big news events,
big the fires at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's big.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Do you think that the wildfires make it?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The wildfires in Los Angeles January seventh to thirty first, Yeah,
I would have been confused on what year that happened.
And also it's so far from us and there are
a lot of wildfires out there, but these were extremely big.
But for us, when we're far we just see it
on the news. We really don't know how big they are,
(09:24):
being all the way of country away, like we see
them and they say to us if we live closer
on you like flying over it, because we did fly over.
I did fly over once year, Like holy crap. But
there's just so much bad news now, Yeah, that's number two.
Anything else Taylor and traffis getting gaged or her traffis
Travis traffics traffic?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Is that what that mean? History?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, all right, then her tour the biggest of all time?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Do you mean like actual history books? Okay, so like
what kids will learn about one.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Day of like number one one big.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The coalplay.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What this happened May of last year of this twenty
twenty five May Number one happened in May. It didn't
happen in America. Oh, but it definitely affected America in
a big way.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
This stuff in Russia and Ukraine? Is that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
No, And that's been going on for a while, and
make sure that no, I just didn't know. The number
one is the first American Popeye. The death of Pope
Francis in April prompted the gathering of Catholic cardinals from
around the world to elect his successor, the new Pope.
The first American Pope Leo was May seventh of twenty
(10:52):
twenty five. Number three is Donald Trump takes office for
the second time. Number four in this affects a lot
of people. But again unless you're right in it, and
because it's happened so many times, I don't think you
understand maybe the severity of it for some folks. But
the US government experience as long as shutdown in history,
(11:16):
it didn't affect us directly. And it feels like the
government shuts down about twice a year where they're like,
we're not coming back till something happens. And so when
it happened so often and it doesn't affect you, it
just it's a blur.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The most I heard about it was like canceled flights,
you know, because of the government shut down.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
People would say, sound like the crazy Yeah, because that
had a chance to affect us. Two stranded astronauts returned
to Earth from the International Space Station at number five.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Remember that I do, but briefly. So they were up
there for a long time and then they just finally
came home.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
They were launching June fifth, twenty twenty four, and they
were supposed to spend eight days, and they came back
in March of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They did they did? Aren't they Chinese astronauts?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
They're not Sonny Williams and Butch Willmore. If that's Chinese,
I've really accepted the American culture.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Well, well, they're not the US ones.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I knew that, but I couldn't remember which.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Butch Willmore is not an American sounds like the most
American name ever.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Maybe they are.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Sunny Williams and Butch Willmore launched into space June twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
June thirty four, and they didn't. They were supposed to
be up there for eight days in the American March.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, where they from? I mean, there's no way, there's
no way. Butch I'm looking at him, There's no way.
He for America. I dude loves college football on a
Miller line.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Could be adopted.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Manh yeah, I'm pretty sure they're American because also it
is NASA.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Okay, wait, there were there were three more Chinese astronauts
that were strewing in its face.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That might be what this would you be? When they're like, sorry, man,
you got another month.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's like you want to spend a night or you're
waiting for somebody pick you up at school and your
mom doesn't come.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, the only one.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
They're out there, but everybody's gone. All the buses are gone,
the car car riders are gone. I don't know. A
teacher has to take you in and be like, hey,
come on back inside, we'll figure it out. Oh he's
so scared at school or in space?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
In space?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh yeah, man, Yeah, the school thing was scary when
you were the only one there and teachers weren't even there.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
How about whenever you didn't get off your bus stop
and all of a sudden you realize it and you're
way beyond your bus stop, and so you have to
ride the whole bus and go to the bus driver
and be like, I.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Forgot my stop or were you sleeping back there?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Like what possibly? You guys didn't do that and never
to stop and you had to ride the whole bus.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I did that. He did it at the other trailer park.
MA the same familiar to me.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And then you get off because you don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Embarrassed, and you walk home and then what do I do?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Two Minnesota lawmakers are shot in their homes in the
early morning hours of June fourteenth, twenty twenty five. Two
lawmakers in Minnesota were shot by a gunman disguised as
a law enforcement officer. State Senator John Hoffman and his
wife were injured by the assailant at their residence. The
gunman then proceeded to the home of State Representative Melissa
Hartman and her husband. He shot and killed them both.
That was wild that seeing that ring doorbell camera, the
(14:05):
footage of that guy in his mask, because he looked
like a cop, but he had like a you could
kind of tell it was rubber if you knew it
was rubber, but if you're just looking at the campus,
looks like a dude. All the plane crashes make the
list because there was a time where it was every day,
and then.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
After the United the American Equal in Washington, in Baltimore, Well.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
There's ice skating. A lot of them were skaters.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Dude, after that one went down, Yes, lots of s
from Wichita.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, that was this year.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, they ran in a helicopter. Helic helicopter ran into them.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Twenty twenty five or rough year for air travel, there
were more than twelve hundred aviation accidents, resulting in more
than two hundred and twenty fatalities. Most of the incidents
involved small planes, but the bigger ones grabbed the headlines
and then made us pay attention to the smaller ones.
January twenty ninth, an American Airlines flight bound for Reagan
National Airport near DC and a black Hawk helicopter collided midair.
There were sixty four people aboard the passenger jet inbound
(15:02):
from Wichitak, Kansas, and three members of the military aboard
the US Army copter. Yeah, that was crazy. Number eight
pennies ceased to be pressed by the US ment. So
this is the year they stopped making the penny. The
renaming of the Golf of Mexico, They're renaming a lot
of stuff. Golf of Mexico, they renamed the Department of Defense,
and they renamed the Kennedy Center now to the Trump
(15:26):
Trump Center Nnedy Center. That's slippery to be naming stuff
after yourself as a living president, because every president would
do that. It would all just all the buildings would
just be named after the person that was in. Yeah,
you got to die and then let them name things
after you. Man, I just have that power, though, to
name stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The Gulf of Mexico or the Gulf of America.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He's doing, Like, how.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Did that one stick not really okay because like other
countries don't have to call it that, right, no, but.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
They all I think he's the only one that calls it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
But to me, I don't look at it and go
Golf of America. Yet it is right now.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Like on Google Map, it is on Google mas.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Golf in America. Right my Golf of America. Golf of
America is maybe with a twelve year old who has
to start learning it that way, it starts to be that,
but for us it'll probably never be that.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Like who thinks of that? Who thinks of like? We
need to change that in there.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The death of Charlie Kirk comes in at number ten.
That's big Doze coming in making all the cuts, and
they just realize way later none of this works. Let
start hiring people back again. That was when Elon Musk
went in and was cutting. Yeah, the United States bombs
nuclear facilities and I ran at twelve the Diddy trial
(16:47):
and the Loof Heist to make the list. As far
as the biggest events of the year and news events,
we've done pop culture. I love your end lists. But
a man finds an exotic python under his hood in
Tennessee in Tennessee, oh Amonic got quite the surprise when
he popped the hood of his suv to find a
yellow python coiled up inside. Jesse Hodge had noticed a
(17:09):
strained smell coming from the vehicle, and he found the
dead snake when he checked under the hood. Workers the
Animal Center say the exotic python isn't native to Tennessee.
It was likely someone's escaped or abandoned pet from WMU R.
If that's my escaped or abandoned pet, you're never gonna
know it escaped or I abandoned it because it ended
up a new story, and they probably I don't know
(17:29):
if you can even have those. I'm sure you can.
But he found the snake, the yellow snake, sitting atop
the battery box. Luckily it was dead. Although pythons for
the most part, are not going to bite you attack you,
they don't. They're they're swirl.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Up and squeeze.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, and they can, but they don't have a venomous bite.
I guess anything can bite it. We can bite. If
we get in a tide that situation, we'll bite too.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Sure, I'll bite.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, all right, So go around the room.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Maybe jelly rolls slate is officially clean the Tennessee Governor Lee.
He pardoned all of his stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So he's not a felon anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I just talked about this somewhere, not here where that
bobbycast historday. Is that what it was? Baby? Man, I'm
having crazy day job, but I'm doing too much contact.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Are you over there thinking I was about to be
in trouble?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I wasn't.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I started thinking, could you pardon me? Did I read
this and just.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Have a conversation within myself or did I talk about it? Yeah,
because I remember saying, and this is what I'll say.
He's not in prison, So what's the pardon for? Because
when you pardon somebody, usually they get out of prison.
But there are certain but he doesn't get to vote,
there are certain things he can't do because of his crimes.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's it says, it removes the felonies from his record,
and he'll have an easier time booking international tour dates.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It's huge.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I just always thought that was called expunged, when they
expunged from your record, And it's just uses of the word,
I guess because when someone gets pardoned, Now people get
pardoned all the time. They just pardoned that Hondura's president
who was a drug trafficker. He was just free from prison.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh the who pardoned him? The president, Yeah, Honduras.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
No America. Oh he was here America. Jerry said he
was guilty, a big drug trafficker. We said, yep, you're good.
Well for you. A pardon forgives the conviction, removes legal penalties,
and restores some rights like gun voting or excuse me,
voting or gun ownership. Gun voting will be fine, I
vote for guns. Expungement destroys the record, making it disappear,
(19:36):
acts as if the crime never happened, for background checks.
So so a pardon is not as good as an
expungement because a pardon it still remains on public record.
But there is a note that says pardoned.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Oh it says that back in April, the Tennessee Border
Parole endorsed him for a pardon by a unanimous vote.
And then it's just taken this long for the governor to, well.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Let's expunge that thing next, get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But it is kind of weird that an elected official
can just like say, you know what, you're.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Good, president, and governors can do pardons like that's.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Crazy or like they just don't like you, so you're
not good.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's also why when presidents, for the most part, are
leaving office, they pardon like two hundred people, yes, like
their family and stuff, because they don't want to have
to deal with it. Oh yeah, I didn't know the
difference in pardon and expungement. I would have thought it
was the opposite, that pardon was the big one, but
expungement's kind of the big one.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So jelly Roll can vote now and then.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
He can he can gun vote. Expungement is granted by
the judicial branch of judge. It's actually more common, but
it's restricted to specific, often less serious offenses, and it
is a complete disappearance of whatever you did. That's interesting. Yeah,
good for jelly Roll. Do you think that would have
(20:56):
happened if you didn't get super famous?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He has given a lot backing things.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Through his platform. He's been able to on a large
stage do so much good, so absolutely it draws attention
to him.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm not hating. I wouldn't be a doctor if it
wasn't for me kind of being whatever version of famous
this is. But you're a doctor, but I am a doctor.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, because he doesn't. I mean, I think this shows
I mean his story is so redemptive. But yes, because
he has chosen to give back in such a powerful way,
because he doesn't have to do that. Had he just
had hits and been super rich and famous, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I don't think he would have been met as warmly
with things like pardons. I did see where he went
at Thanksgiving and supplied like three hundred dinners to inmates,
constantly going to prisons talking to folks because like he
was in and he was like, there's when you get out,
there's a way. Yeah. Good for him. So the goal is,
once you get out of prison, just get famous and
(21:52):
then give.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Back and give back. You gotta give back, yeah, but
you gotta get famous first.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
You have the money to give back.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You gotta be really talented.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, you gotta have a couple of hits, got to
get a couple of countries on. After your wrap career
did well but not didn't turn you into a global superstar.
Then you go country, you pop globally, then you do
whatever you want. That's the pat let's go. That's it
all right, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Your story, this one kind of hits home a little
bit there's a recall on So Delicious dairy free salted
Caramel cluster. Say it ain't so, I don't know what
you just said.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, that's a good ice cream.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh it's an ice cream, dairy free ice cream.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Okay, start over.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
There's a recall on an ice cream called So Delicious yep,
dairy free salted caramel cluster.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Okay, I don't eat that kind.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Okay, but that's the best flavor they make, I think.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, what was in it?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
And the stones? They say stones? And do they say
stones and other hard objects? Stones?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
No, I would think that was like a cashew.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
At least you could say pebble to make it sound
less severe.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You're gonna go stones, stones and other hard objects, so
be careful when biden into the ice cream.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So I have stones and hard objects.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
And because I definitely ate this within the last week,
what that one?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That one you would have known because you would have
bit it. I'm hoping because you don't just swallow. You
don't just swallow ice cream hole though, you have to
melt it before you swallow.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
It a little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
But the little clusters in it are like cashewes and.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Like chew Those kind of.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
There's no what you're just swallowing a spoonful of this
without eating it, like chewing it.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I mean I chooed it a little bit, but I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I don't know how big.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
These stones stones, small stones.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Get chocolate covered coated.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
They don't say that humor me because the chocolate.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
I know.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You get a spoon, you go into your ice cream,
you put it in your mouth. Then what happens you.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Chew? You don't really chew, you do if there are
things like nuts, small stones.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Small stones. If it's just ice cream, you don't just swallow.
You don't go well, you let it melt in your
mouth and you kind of So if it's a stone,
you would probably know. So I probably broke a tooth
on it more than swallowed them.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But okay, so these salted caramel clusters are they hard?
Do you chew on them?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
So they're soft? Because that's a soft nut, aren't they?
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I used to when I was dairy free by choice.
I hate that kind all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, it says the stones are in the cashew pieces.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Okay, yeah you're that and those are ummy when you
bite on them?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
What the cash?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah, like I would want to bite them because they're like,
it's like Kimmy, but.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You haven't encountered this.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I don't that brand good for you.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
When I saw a story, I was worried for you.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, I don't eat that brand. I haven't really been
in an ice cream kick. I ordered three cookies the
other night. I think I told you guys, I got
three tubs of ice cream instead ordered three chocolate chip
cookies individually. I got three tubs of ice cream, and
so they're still in there. I love ice cream, but
I haven't been ice cream.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And you've got dairy free chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Vegan, so they wouldn't be dairy free. They list them
as V. So there's what's confusing is if there is
a V beside it, it means vegan, so I can
eat that. If there's VEG, it's vegetarian. You can't eat
can't always eat that. But things that are vegetarian can
also be vegan.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
But vegan for sure means no milk, no dairy.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Because it comes from animal. But I don't eat things
that are vegan for the most part. If they're like
sandwiches because I want meat, it's not a vegan.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You're just no dairy, no dairy, vegan.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
And also I can do other kinds of milk, almond milk,
con milk, you do soy milk, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I just don't do milk.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I mean soy milk, coconut milk, macadamian, not milk milk.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's not bad.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I'm sure if I didn't know the difference, it'd be fine.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, you can they have banana milk, banana milk.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I saw it sounds pretty good.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That sounds really good.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We're you a kind of oatmel now, I wish I
know the name of it.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oatmeal or oat milk, No oat mill, oatmeal, oat milk.
They do have oat milk accent. We have it.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
We're eating a great kind of oatmeal right now. Let
me ask my wife. And I put almond milk in
it because it's it's just a power. It's supposed to
be overnight oats, I think, but I always forget to
do it overnight. So then I just wake up in
the morning and then I do pour the bag of
oat million. I do a half cup of almond milk,
and before I put in the microwave, I kind of
get the texture a little right, because you can't get
(26:09):
it fully right, and then I put it in for
a minute and I come on and mix it again.
Is that how you make over milk?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah, microwave, that's exactly how you make it.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Is it still a little hard since it's not over?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
No, because he's putting in the microwave the overnight oats.
What's happening in that process is overnight. It's sort of
quote unquote cooking the oats because it's soaking overnight. But
if you heat it up, are you put boiling water
or you put it in the microwave, You're cooking the
oats that way.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
America voted the best New Year's Eve activity is drink.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
And going to bed early house party.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Number four scroll through social media on your phone.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
What numbers that cannot be an activity?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Guys, we're stupid.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Number three gets some sleep.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Okay, yeah, that can go sign on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That Is that an activity?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Anti activity?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I think it's just what you do. Number two go
to a party, and Number one watch Netflix or some
other streaming platform. Okay, it's cold. If it wasn't cold
on New Year's it'd be much easier.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I went downtown New Year's in June Nashville to do
the big concert thing you did. Oh yeah, like thirteen
years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I thought you said, who are you? It's bit or cold?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah? It was cold, I mean and we also had
you know, we were doing it a different way because
we were with the station like had you know, like
in the tint you're a little warmer, and it was
still a this was fun check the box. Don't think
I'll ever come down here again, have you?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Guys? Are so many people gone to like an awesome,
awesome New Year's the party you're like, that was epic.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, my wedding.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I feel like New Year's is like prom If it
didn't have the expectation on it, it would be fun.
But because there's such an expectation, if you go do something,
you get dressed, you wear a funny hate you, it's
a party, it's a big celebration. All of that's happened.
So I don't think it can quite live up to
the hype. Generally speaking, just like PROMP, it's super fun,
but you spend all of high school going I can't
(28:02):
wait to brohm. It's romanticized and television shows and movies,
so it's really hard for it to hit So that
being said, I think I've went to a couple of
good parties that probably would have been great had there
not been the build up to it, like all year
to build up to it. Yeah, why have you?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I know, never I've gone to Like there was a
time when like New Year's Eve, Dad, my dad would
throw a party and he'd always make us go to
the party, and so I'd always be upset because I'm like, man,
like my friends are throwing parties, like I can I
want to go to that party. And then finally one
year I said, like I want to go to that party.
I'm not going to my family's party.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
And it was like it suck.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That was stupid, Like my dad's parties better than this,
and I just felt like, you're right. I feel like
the anticipation of like, ooh, New Year's Eve party, it's
gonna be awesome, it just wasn't. It was just like
a normal party.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, then you hit that threshold of starting to get
older and it's not even worth seeing if there's a
thing of gold into the rainbow because you've chased a
goal for so long and it's just been like, you know,
I just don't think it's going to be the pot
of gold. Yeah, so I'm gonna just stay home or
go to bed or whatever.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Well, yeah, and we just don't feel the same, like
staying up past a certain point or consuming certain amounts
of alcohol. It doesn't feel the same. Recovery can't handle, man,
So you're just like it's not worth it. It's like
a risk reward traces.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oats familiar.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, but I was just about to ask you if
you figured it out, because I.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Didn't figure it out.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Stevenson is so into oatmeal right now, my wife.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
They're great because this morning I tried and there's no
milk in it, but I tried the strawberry milk flavor.
It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
That's cool. Is it in a cup already or do
you pour it in something?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It's in a bag, kind of like the old oat icy.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, cute.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
The packaging.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
It comes in different flavors like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Oh wow, it's got fifteen grams of protein and no
added sugar.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You don't even seen my muscles lately, and it's because
all oatmeal I'm.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Eaten screens, my foss eate free oats.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I don't know what any of that means. Kind of
if my wife puts in our house, it's I feel
like it's safe for me.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
We have a small refrigerator, like a college refrigerator that
is not in the kitchen. It's in like a We
have also like this weird wine cellar that we don't
it's it's not a cellar because it's not underground. But
we don't have like a bunch of alcohol. No, we
have like eight bottles of gifted alcohol, and so it's
next to that. So it's in this area the house
that has like a little refrigerator in it. And she'll
(30:22):
keep anything that I can't eat in that away from
you so I don't accidentally hop in and just start
eating something and then it gets sick.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, it's very selfless of her. You're looking at it still.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
They have a starter packet. It'll give you a variety
of all the different that's what we kinds. They've got
strawberry milk, brownie, battered blueberry muffin, and maple vanilla.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Maple vanilla, and there's not really flavors that I pursue,
but it's really good.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
You don't like vanilla, No.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I like vanilla. I don't like maple as a flavor.
I like syrup, but I don't like maple being a
flavor of something I'm eating. I like to dedicate that
to just syrup. Yeah, okay, I do love pancakes, and
I do love syrup. Maple flavored stuff like they don't
make maple flavored Jolly Rangers for a reason sounds good?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Actually it does.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, that are like we're there's originals kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, I didn't think that people would think of maple
candy is good.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I well, syrup, but what is when you say where
there's original it is kind of like a h. Then
maybe it's more like caramel, a caramel hard candy.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's like a Jolly Ranger caramel, caramel, caramel whatever I.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Say it both ways, caramel caramel.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
A survey explore the causes of Christmas chaos. What would
get most chaotic during Christmas for you, guys?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Chaotic?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Any last minute shopping?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Okay, that could be something like having to get the shopping.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Done if you're hosting.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
So at number one at thirty three percent is the cooking,
like trying to get all the cooking done before people
come over. You also have board games getting too competitive,
the families playing board games. You also have family politics.
You also have TV remote wars, what to watch. What's
(32:07):
fun about Christmas now is the sports world has allowed
us to have a good docative NFL games meaning just
like three games, right, yeah, a couple on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
You don't like that.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
It just it allows for something to be on TV
and for something to just have on that people can
talk about. I know. There just isn't like a universal
parade type thing.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
On Chris Now.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
There's Christmas movies.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, the Christmas Story, but then you have to hop
you got to start at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Like a game, you can just like casually just jump in.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I love having sports on TV. Just on and if
you want to sit and watch it, you can if
you have to, nobody has to.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I feel like with a movie, I get annoyed because
if I didn't start with the movie, I don't want
to jump in halfway through. If I walk in on it.
I don't mind if there's a game on, even if
it's not my team's maybe I'm I'm just a sports fan.
And that's why like.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Sports and I doesn't bother me as much as and
I'm talking about a visceral reaction inside my body, so
I can't explain it. But if like sports are on
during the daytime, I've always like it's just been like
a I don't even want to be around it. And
I tried to actually work through this, like what is
my problem?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Because it's been, you know, all in my marriage, like
it was a problem. And I think that sometimes when
I was with my dad and it must have been
daylight out, he would be watching sports and I would
be trying to talk to him, and he like wouldn't
hear me, you know, like I would talk and he
was not something about yes, it could be football, golf.
(33:37):
I mean he would just sit on the couch with
like his hands on his head and maybe yes he gambled,
but like.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I need to feel low here.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
But do you know, did you ever meet the booky?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
No, no, we didn't know.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
He didn't come around the house.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
No, it wasn't like that. I would have to be
then because I know, well I know that when my
dad moved out, my mom at one point was cleaning
out our garage and she was finding cash hidden everywhere
and she knew she was like, oh yeah, this is
probably his gambling money, like in a gardening glove, like
deep inside there'd be like a lot of it'd be
like five hundred dollars. Uh you know, so yeah, yes,
(34:20):
I mean my dad did. Listen, I've about all kinds
of things like oh, I mean in my dad's house.
You know, I was singing about this the other day.
You know. You know, everybody had business cards back then,
you know, and they keep them out like if you
exchange information, you got someone's business card. And I don't
know whose business card this was, but they worked at
a Yellow Rose A woman, no, I mean it might
(34:41):
have been a guy.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't know security.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I don't think the strippers had cards.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I don't think they had business cards. It was like
a but I just remember in my dad's kitchen, like
there being a stack of business cards that he had
like unloaded from the day and I was like, oh, ew,
he had a meeting there today, Like that means he
probably had. They probably had business meeting there, like lunches.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I remember my dad went to he went to a
strip club, like and we knew everyone knew, like so
that when people would call the house, I would answer
the phone and they'd be like, hey, is your dad there? Like, nah,
he's at text Mechs.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Like that's really a place was called texting text Mex
Uh strip club. I stop in for a burrito and
I'm like, what the heck?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, well yeah down there.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
My sister would answer the phone text Mex text Mechs.
That's what it was called.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, that's like on the border.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah yeah, because it was.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Though they have nice, good foods.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I never went, Oh because took my brother and never
took me.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Dudes, du du really yeah he took your brother.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And then I'm almost like you got to not do that,
so I never got to go.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Dudes would be like they make the best takes.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah, that's what they say. My dad said Hooters had
the best wing.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Yes, they would say that, dude. The lunch is girl.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
That's what they say about playboards of the articles, articles.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Articles, Yeah, you learned so much.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Obviously for my dad it wasn't hidden the thing. I
mean we never talked about it, but my stepmom was
in the kid like, it's not like he was hot,
you know, she probably knew. Oh yeah, and its calendar
lunch meeting.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Times man, yeah weird. And my dad had a Bookie.
His name was well, we called him the Diablo.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
When do you come around the house the devil, either
to give or to pick up his money?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Correct, either he was coming to collect or he had
an envelope with.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I feel like Eddie's dad and my dad would have
been best friends for sure, because also my dad was
fluent in Spanish and they could just go to Mexico
and have a good time.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Did it always surprise people, like other white people when
your dad could just rip Spanish?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I think so. Especially my dad and his brothers got
together because they would just talk to each other. They
and my uncles were even better than my dad because
they stayed in South Texas. And I remember at a
family reunion once in Dilley, Texas, there was more Hispanics
there than white people, and I was like Dad, and
he goes, ah, they're basically family.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Like, hey, that's like the South and and the Hispanic culture.
Lots of cousins, lots of yeah that you're not even
related to.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
He's like, yeah, this is just at.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
The Spanish culture, Eddie. No, you're good, don't you go
on like a lot of relatives that aren't really related
to you.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Yeah, My wife gets confused, going like they're my cousin,
but they're.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Not really my cousin.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But it was extremely a Southern thing too, because we
had a lot of cousins, a lot of this is
your aunt. We weren't related at all. It was just
like somebody that lived close it would take care of you. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
There was one literally I found out when my mom
was here over Thanksgiving. She's like, no, she wasn't your.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Real Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, now I guess older. Yeah, a lot of their
the people they worked with, like everybody. I think my
my dad told me this story. Who knows but my
grand my his mom because his dad died when my
dad was like a month old. So she needed extra help.
And so there was this Hispanic got like literally he
was from Mexico and he would come over and he
helped a lot on her. She raised chickens and they
(37:54):
had watermelon.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
He had a bunch of water was water on like
capt capital.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Of the World.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
They have a watermelon statue. And that's how my grandpa died.
He got run over by his watermelon.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Truck so backed over him, right, Yes, when he was
unloading the wall back over him. Yes, that sucks.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I know it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Sometimes you get the respect it deserts in our conversations
because we've talked about it so much, and watermelon throws
it all off because watermelon's like fun, yes, in summer
and refreshing so and it's like that. It's when monkey
was a thing. You put the word monkey on a
terrible disease, You're like, that kind of sounds fun. It
really was terrible. All died from a truck back and
over him.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah, and I guess in the Texas heat too, with
the watermelon. Like to this day, my dad does not
eat watermelon. He cannot stand watermelon because the heat when
it would spoil, the smell like, he just cannot even
handle it well. Anyway, Uh, they had obviously this whoever
this was that came to work with them a couple
of times a year would want to go back to
Mexico to see his family, and my aunt would just
(38:54):
go turn him in and they would ship him back
so he would be like illegal and then he get
to go back to Mexico for free, and then he'd
across and then come and then my grandma would be
like okay, come on, and they were all in on it.
She's like, I'll go turn you in now.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
To Mexico is not very close, and.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Then they would just go and then they get a
free ride back home.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, that was the thing that just like Otis and
Andy Griffith to go check himself into the prison drunk,
same thing. That's wild.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
So I'm telling you there was a lot of Hispanic influence.
So I guess when my dad was down south, nobody
was surprised. But I think when my dad was in
Austin and he started speaking fluently or like, and he
was really good at it a lot of especially because
he worked. He would build restaurants. A lot of the
construct like the workers. He'd be and I think my
dad would show up on the job site and probably
a lot of the workers are like, oh great, here's
the gringo. And then my dad they would like end
(39:45):
up loving him right away because he was he could
talk to them fluently, and my dad was obvious.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
He was really cool obviously gambling strip club women.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
But I mean he wasn't like I think sometimes like
being if he was in charge like the boss, like,
he wasn't one that was like too good, like he
would pull up the grill and like cook lunch for
everybody that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
That's like, so that's so much like my dad.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I'm telling you. I think they would have been best
friends for real crazy and maybe they are now.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
They're hanging out right now, they're like, who's gonna win
an Alabama or o you?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
They're at the Pearl of Gate. That's the establishment there.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
That's that was the joke of my dad's memorial. Like
you think he got it or not. I don't know.
He's probably negotiating his way in right now.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
They're both up at the Yellow Rods of Heaven and
then Nicole Smith, but.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Smith who's working up there?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Yeah, what's one word you would use to describe your job?
You just get one. I have the top answers from
American workers, so it's going to be different than probably
what you say. Our job is a bit different. But
what's one word to describe your job? Amy Gosh? Well,
the word that keeps one word you can talk after
one word.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I'm probably doing it wrong.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah you are. I mean one word lucky. Okay, so
that's your relationship to the job. There were no rules
on this. Lucky works. We'll sit there, we can come
back to it. One word, Eddie, one word, do not
fill a buster.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I'm gonna go with early.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
That's where I would have gone first. I'll pivot, but okay,
hold lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Strenuous, really taxing.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Okay, one word, Morgan, different, that's good. I think mine
would be constant because it's I constantly. As soon as
it's over, I'm constantly and we can now elaborate a bit.
I'm now constantly working on the next thing or the
(41:58):
next show or podcas or whatever it is. It's constant
with me. So I'm gonna go constant. Why lucky for you?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
So in school I used to get in trouble for
talking all the time, and now I get paid to talk,
So that is so I just like, yeah, it worked
on it worked out for me. It is like some
of my teachers are gonna be like, yeah, what's up now?
Speaker 2 (42:18):
You said early. It's like it's it's too early for
your mind to be like, all right, let's talk last night.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I'm glad you said that. Last night, I did Caitlin
Bristow's podcast and I did it at like six thirty PM.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Well, yeah, that's late for you. I was so on,
Oh really, it's six thirty.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, but you'd been working all day. I could see
six thirty being on if you got if you woke
up at ten am.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I actually had been so on because I'd gone from
this show to a meeting. We had Bobby cast did,
we had Caitlin. But we've been working all day. It
doesn't matter. Like I stopped by the house for a minute,
ate some food, went six thirty pm is my It's
time to fly, and so it was. It was. I
just felt so good, like this show would be so
much better for a six thirty PM. Wouldn't get paid
as much, but it'd be so much better. And it
(43:07):
started storming. It was real badstorm last night.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yeah, yeah, we did.
Speaker 3 (43:12):
I have a hole in my roof of a leak
and it was leaking. Well I have I cut a
hole out to see if they're for sure was a leak?
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Wait, you cut a hole?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Okay, so it looked like because it wasn't. It looked
like there was some water, but I wasn't for sure
because I was like, is that just a spot? And
I got paranoid on the ceiling and above my shower.
So then I hired somebody to come cut a hole.
But then we had to wait for it to rain.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
And it's such a small cut a long time ago,
and you waited.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Yes, I've been waiting.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
It was like, okay, clouds on the Apple app let's
get a hole up there.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
No, but I've been waiting. And even if it's just
a moderate rain, it it's not that obvious. It's so
hard to tell what's really happening. But if it pours
like yesterday day, we know.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
Now did you bucket it?
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Confirmed? No, because it's dripping right into the shower. So
it's fine. But now I know, which is great. Now,
I just need to get that handled.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Does it go? Do you hear it the water hit
in the shower?
Speaker 5 (44:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (44:17):
No, it's not like that. But it's like I will
step away and then I come back and I know
my shower floor wasn't wet at all, and then I'll
see all the little drops because that's how it's very
I don't the hole must be tiny up in the roof.
But when you get a lot of rain, it got
a lot of drops. So now I know. Now I know,
and I can't wait to patch it up or figure
out the hole and then patch it up because it's
(44:37):
getting cold in my bathroom because basically have all the
winter winter.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
The rain yesterday too though it was like coming sideways.
It was that it was like that kind of rain.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I think that's why it got more action, Like I
got more because it was.
Speaker 6 (44:51):
Like.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Morgan, your word was different. Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (44:57):
I think I've just realized when I you know, I
talk to other people about their jobs. In mind, this
is just such a different job. It's hard to relate
to other people because it's not the same thing and
different in a good way too. It's a really cool
job that's so isolated you can't really replicate it, like
this is a cool job in itself.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Lunchbox, you said strenuous. Yeah, it's just very strenuous. People
think it's so easy, but it's very hard to be
on all the time, have great things to say, be
smart about things, always being feeding off other people. It's
a lot harder than people think. They think, oh I
can do that's so easy. Now you can't. Maybe they could.
I find that a lot of people because everybody has
(45:34):
a podcast. Now everybody has a podcast, and they're not good.
I find that a lot of people can do six
really good podcasts and it's not the ability to tell
a story. It's the ability to constantly come up with
more and more stories. A lot of professional athletes do
really great podcasts for like five or six episodes, and
then you run out of stories to tell. And that's
the hardest thing about doing a podcast is the consistency
(45:56):
of it. Like you have to do one or two
a week, and it's so fun and it's great, but
people quit because it takes one hundred of them to
get any sort of traction, and that's a small number,
especially if you're not super famous, and even if you
are super famous. Now there's ten thousand people with a podcast,
so it's so hard to get anybody to listen because
there's only so many hours in the day, so many
(46:16):
free times people have to listen to a podcast. But
I think a lot of people could do a really
good podcast. But it's hard because it's a muscle you
have to work to be able to constantly. I use
the word constant online to constantly have material. And I think,
for me, I'm glad we have a break soon. I burn,
and I think a little bit, I start to let
myself burn because I know the end is coming because
(46:38):
I'm doing this show and then this podcast, and then
we do twenty five whistles, and then I do the
show we work with for the NFL, and then I
do two Bobby casts a week, And so I'm having
a constantly go do I talk about this? And I
keep notes of almost everything, and I look at things before.
I didn't this morning as much because I didn't where
I talked about that story earlier, the plane crashing. So
I'm starting to get a little burnt, little crack. But yeah,
(47:00):
that's the hard part, is constantly going not being amazing,
but just constantly being pretty good to.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Good, not being smart. Like Onnchwalk said saying, I don't feel.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Like I say smart things all the time. I feel
like sometimes I have to trust that I wasn't extremely
unentertaining because I'm not feeling good. I'm like, man, that sucked.
That day sucked, and I have to go, you probably
didn't feel good and that's why it didn't feel that good,
more so than you tell yourself. I have to or
I'll spiral out. And then I have to really not
(47:31):
spend a lot of time looking at what I just
finished because I've got something else to do. Because we
do this show every day and I have another at
least hour, hour and a half of a different podcast
every single day to do. I'm not complaining at all,
because it's I've built it, and I've built it for
me and I love doing it. But and I think
everybody could be really good at it for a second
and then some for an hour, But then usually what
(47:51):
separates is can you do it constantly over two years?
Now that everybody has a podcast too? There you go.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
So we do have a cool job, though, I feel
everyone always asks me like, hey, tell me about your work,
like what you do? What do you guys do this week?
You traveling?
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Who'd you talk to?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Who do you all interview? Like all the time, and
it's it's I mean, I'm not asking them like what
happened in court today?
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Hope your spreadsheet?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Like what to coffee right this week?
Speaker 1 (48:16):
I think I have a problem understanding that some people's
priorities aren't to get ahead in their career. I think
for a long time, even when I would hire people,
I would go, Okay, here's how I can invest you,
here's the long term, here's what you can And some
people just want to work but invest in their home
(48:38):
life way more. And I think I had a hard
time understanding that some people's job is just their job,
and I think I wish I was a little more
like that at times. I mean, I sacrificed a lot
to build this, But now I unders like, my wife
is such a family person that I can now see
(48:59):
for the first time the value of investing in things
that aren't your job, your career, money, that type of thing.
And so it's really the first time that I've been
able to see that, because forever I would hire somebody
and they wouldn't really want to way up, they wouldn't
really want to build.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
They would be like, I just love the job.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
Wait what, you don't want to grow him?
Speaker 2 (49:21):
I'm good. Ray did that.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
I tried to move Ray up a couple of times.
Ray's like the greatest worker, and he's like, I'm good man.
You don't want to like run the show.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
No, no, no, we're good.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
Ray was going to run the show, but no, but
definitely have the ability to do more. Yeah, but he
does so much. He's like, you know, I feel great
where I am now. He's made more money obviously through
the years, but Ray loves his home time. But here
he's the first one here most consistent person we have here, Ray,
Do you love your hometime more than worktime? Uh?
Speaker 6 (49:57):
Home time's different now my wife works at home and
her job's gotten a little stressful. He has to see
his wife at home, so it's not the same. So
I do enjoy being home, but it's all about compartmentalizing stuff.
So do I like my home time when I go
at like one pm? No, because she's doing calls and stuff.
I love it at four pm when she's done. Though,
Why did you never want a promotion? I just didn't
(50:18):
like the stuff that it entailed, and I just didn't
feel like i'd have any power. Kind of felt like
i'd be pushed around. So I was like, definitely not.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
I never really understood it. I do now more so
because you value you just value different things and read
values always value different things, but it's always is. Still
it had no effect on his work ethic. I always
thought people want a work card for sure, want to
move up. Rady's like, no, I got awesome job, I'm good.
I want to screw it up. Do you feel like
that's fair of me to say? Yeah, Okay, I don't.
(50:47):
I don't want that to feel like it's insulting. I
would look at it and go and that's really cool.
I wish I had a little bit of that.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Yeah, I just knew.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
I mean we're talking like five or more years ago.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
I was a while ago.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Maybe I changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Now you wanted the chance. He's like, I want to
run things now.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
Man, I don't sound weird I'm describing it.
Speaker 3 (51:10):
Uh No, I mean I don't know Ray's whole situation.
So even that aside, No, I think, yeah, it makes
sense what you're saying that you don't You don't You
didn't get it. Now that you have a wife and
have other things too, she's opened your eyes and your
heart to family life. Not that you're gonna pivot much,
(51:33):
but you maybe now can see where other people have
been coming from all these years.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
I can understand and appreciate the value of investing in
things other than just your career, which I couldn't because
it's really all I had for a long time.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
So that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (51:45):
It was like, it's all I have, I'm gonna kill it.
Uh yeah, it's kind of great. Like I root for
Oklahoma to win football games, like that's the big that's
the craziest thing. That I could ever say. And that's
all because of that. Like, I like my father in
law to have joy talking about about my wife. She's
annoying about it. So I father in law like for
him to win those games.
Speaker 2 (52:03):
Sweet dude.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yeah, they played tonight. I hope they beat Alabama. I
don't think they will. I think Alabama rolls, but I
want Oklahoma to win because I want to see him happy. Now,
if they do lose, I don't know. I'd kind of
like to see my wife suffer for a minute on
that one, because she rubs it in. We suck. It's
like you only got two wins this year. Huh. It's playful,
but still, you know. But but the fact that I
(52:26):
can look at another team ago, I really hope they
win for someone else. That's that's top of it. Because
I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (52:33):
That's how you know you.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I won't even let Amy's boyfriend have two favorite teams.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
You shouldn't, guys, I made him choose. I made him choose.
He chose Uva.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
Okay, good with the side of Alburn, he should thank
you with the son of Auburn, all right, I.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Guess you'll be turned for Oklahoma though. Tonight why because
he hates Alabama.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
Oh because his side of Auburn, his little side, his
side chicks in him.
Speaker 4 (53:00):
He hates it.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
All right, that's it. What are you doing this weekend?
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Finishing a little bit of shopping that I need to
do for my son. Mostly I have all of my
daughter's stuff. I think.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
I think I'm done shopping. By the way. I it's
different because you and my wife are friends. And she
said you were coming over next week or something, mm
hmm okay, whatever that was. I was like, hey, we
should do take Amy's present, And because she's she's like, no,
she's coming over next week.
Speaker 3 (53:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
So I don't have any present for you here.
Speaker 3 (53:30):
Yeah I know. Oh I already gave everybody else their
gifts too here in the garage. No, no, I do
want to do it one one. I did kind of
do it one on one. I didn't like, just will
an iliad out for everybody, But hopefully everybody liked their
(53:50):
little things. I work, I try, and y'all knows what
his is. And I got him a puzzle because now
he's a puzzle guy.
Speaker 2 (53:56):
There's a Dolly puzzle, and.
Speaker 3 (53:58):
But I looked for a n F Peltrow puzzle. I
couldn't find it, So Dolly was kind of glad.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
You didn't give me the glen because my wife would
be like, what really, Like.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (54:06):
Would you consider the goot vagina candle?
Speaker 3 (54:10):
That is funny you say that, because I did order
candles for some of the others on the in the group,
and that would have been a good one.
Speaker 2 (54:19):
I've definitelywn that away for sure.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
That also would have been really weird and disrespectful to
Eddie's wife. And I figured Dolly is a safe blonde.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (54:29):
She's probably the only woman puzzle you could put together
that's not questionable.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Five hundred piece.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
I can probably do that in like one day, show
off a dedicated day though, right, oh yeah, in the morning,
you're like, my goal today is.
Speaker 3 (54:42):
To do this puzzle, and actually to do her hair
is going to be the hardest part.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
Yeah, all the blonde?
Speaker 4 (54:47):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (54:47):
Because you are you wanting more followers on social media? Like,
is that a goal of yours?
Speaker 1 (54:52):
No? Okay, been great?
Speaker 3 (54:53):
Well why are you asking.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
That you could live stream you putting it together? A
five hundred piece puzzle? You'd have to do it all
in the stream. You'd gain a lot of followers.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
Dang, okay, Like if that's something you really wanted to
be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
Like just set it up and like he leaves the
live stream running the entire the puzzle.
Speaker 1 (55:09):
People would watch that come back on that if like
you had to, you had the box up where they
could see what it was going to be, and there
was a puzzle there and you just live streamed it
for four hours. That would be relaxing for some people.
I think it would be fun.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
Does he talk?
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Yeah, you don't have to the whole time. It's not
like you're playing video games. But people really wouldn't be
there for the entertainment. They would just be there for
the puzzle. And that's how you would get the new people.
They didn't know you as a person on this show.
They would just be like, oh, this guy does puzzles.
That literally could be your thing.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
I'm a puzzle guy.
Speaker 3 (55:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (55:40):
You could get so many followers by live streaming putting
to the other puzzles. You'd have to do it consistently,
but that would be a thing if.
Speaker 3 (55:46):
You find the time.
Speaker 2 (55:48):
I mean, I have to like kick everyone out of
the house, Like all right, guys, I'm gonna put a
puzzle together.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Well, you could do an hour a day or something
and not finish every puzzle and just constantly go back.
Speaker 3 (55:56):
Oh, I thought he was just on a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
He's just like, wait, could you could do the whole thing?
Speaker 2 (56:00):
Would that be ballard?
Speaker 1 (56:01):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (56:01):
If I went live and finish the whole puzzle, set
a timer, a clock.
Speaker 1 (56:04):
So I add an idea of putting together a puzzle
while doing an interview, and you have to live stream
the whole thing or in record it for a podcast.
But the problem with that was you don't know how
long it's going to be. So let's say I have
I use Caitlin Butts as an example. She was over
yesterday we're recording a podcast. I was like, Hey, we're
gonna put together this's Dolly Puzzles, five hundred pieces. It's
(56:24):
we're gonna clip it. It's gonna go up as a
podcast and we'll clip it and it'll be a live stream.
That's I think fun and novel. But also I can't
say it's only going to take an hour.
Speaker 2 (56:34):
Yeah, but you guys would work on it together, right.
Speaker 1 (56:35):
Yeah, we do the while we were doing It's like
a comedians and cars getting coffee it's just an activity
that you're doing while you're doing the interview, and you're
able to, you know, ship it off to India and
have them clip the crap out of it for eighty
bucks and you get all the clips, you get the
full audio of the podcast, the full YouTube. I mean,
it's good idea, just quite. You have to you have
(56:56):
to have somebody you're comfortable with, because that would take
a couple hours. Smaller one.
Speaker 2 (57:00):
How you do a hundred piece?
Speaker 3 (57:01):
Yeah, they have hundred ones soon.
Speaker 2 (57:03):
You'll probably get that done in thirty minutes. Really, so
one hundred piece. Maybe the key is to start with
the edges. You start with the edges first and then
you fill in the middle.
Speaker 1 (57:11):
Should we do that on the Netflix show Mike, get
a smaller puzzle and get someone to put a whole puzzle.
Thing about that is we can we can't really go
over an hour, ten hour fifteen our episodes because we
signed a deal for eighty episodes for the year. One
hundred piece puzzle, most adults take twenty minutes to an
hour off for sure, be in the hour part.
Speaker 4 (57:28):
But that one adult, It says most adults, So does
it works?
Speaker 2 (57:33):
Does a couple of times Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
Is it like you can put it's you know, double
make it harder.
Speaker 3 (57:39):
But everybody has their different method, Like some people do
like to do the border first, some people like to
color sort.
Speaker 1 (57:45):
Maybe we can do a small puzzle episode.
Speaker 2 (57:47):
You guys have they have one of the fifty states,
have an understanding, there's fifty.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
If there's less than yes, that's fun.
Speaker 2 (57:54):
Now we put that together in thirty minute area.
Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yeah, I just assumed all those puzzles were big, Like,
what's the use of putting together they're a one hundred
piece puzzle because it would ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (58:03):
You know what. I really wanted to get Eddie, but
I saw it too late. It was because it already
had handle. Maybe next year I found out he was
into puzzles after the admit calendar started. But at Anthropology
they had an advent calendar. Uh so it was twenty
four little one hundred piece puzzles. So each day your advent,
(58:26):
the thing you pulled out was a different hundred piece puzzle.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
That's intense.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Wow, kill me, No, it looks so cool. I'm sure
it was cool.
Speaker 2 (58:35):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
You're committed every day? How big are the puzzles piece.
Is that I'm forgetting, you said five hundred.
Speaker 2 (58:40):
One hundred.
Speaker 1 (58:42):
Said, yeah, oh kill me, give me a twenty piece
puzzle every day. Maybe I could do that. I wonder
how if that helps your brain? Yes, it helps you
relax No, focused on something.
Speaker 3 (58:52):
No, it's one of the It can be relaxing, it
can be therapeutic. But you no, it is good for
your brain.
Speaker 2 (59:00):
I love it, but it's such a time waster, like
when you're when I'm done, Like when I finish my
thousand piece, I'm just like, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (59:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (59:07):
And now I'm just gonna tear it apart and give
it to my neighbor.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
But if you ever see those monks that are always
put it, that are doing the the making of the
really the cool art, and as soon as they're done,
they wipe it away. They spend like months and years
building this, it's really intricate art, and then as soon
as they finish, it's because it's just about the process. Okay,
it's not about I get that, and I'm talking about
it's a plus level art. And they may they may
(59:32):
be Buddhists. Again, I'm trying to recall from something that
I saw a documentary on. Yeah, and as soon as
it's done, it gets erased. It is wild. It is
the Tibetan Buddhist sand mandols I think it was. Or
what did that, Mike?
Speaker 4 (59:45):
How do you say that mandala?
Speaker 1 (59:47):
It's an intricate, colorful creation made by monks. Oh, you
can be both Buddhists and monk okay using colored sand
only to be ritually destroyed dissolved shortly after completion, to
symbolize the Buddhist teaching of I don't know what the
or it is, of all material life and spread healing energies. Also,
my vision, what I'm seeing on the screen is so small.
(01:00:08):
I have to do that make it bigger now.
Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Yeah, So the cognitive benefits of puzzles bobby, improved memory, enhance,
problem solving skills, increase, concentration, slow and cognitive decline.
Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
That's what I need.
Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
And so those are the brain benefits. But then, like
we said, there's the emotional benefits like stress relief, enhanced mood.
They can be a sole activity, but if you do
it with family or friends, then you got some social
interaction there.
Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
You fight with them.
Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
I don't really let my kids do it because the
more pieces together, No no, no, no, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
All right, we're done, so we will have a podcast Monday,
probably Tuesday as well, but we're done for the day.
All you part tours, we really appreciate you listening if
you are a part tour, because again I think there's
a preference. I think everybody's a preference. Part one a
little more fast paced, a little more, a little more
decision involved. Part two it is just us hanging out
talking about stuff. You can always let me know on
(01:01:04):
the DMS which one you prefer, Part one or Part two,
because there are two totally different types of shows. But
we appreciate you guys. Hope you have a good weekend,
and we will see you guys soon.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
By everybody,
Okay, the Brown University shooting where they didn't have a suspect,
and then all of a sudden they find one in
a storage unit. I don't know, seems sus I don't
trust it, or I don't trust anything from the government
of the FBI. They search for days, didn't know who
it was. Then all of a sudden they go to
a storage unit and they find the dead guy in there.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, what does the reddit post have to do with it?
Did you see that? How somebody on Reddit said that
they ran into a guy. They should look into this guy.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'd liked him, and there was a car license plate.
It was all. I don't give too much credit to Reddit,
other than maybe one out of twenty times somebody's kind
of right. So then we have to look at I
don't give much credit to Reddit.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This whole thing isn't weird, that's real.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, And then the professor died in my t was
the guy that was murdered, and they say that that
had something to do with this guy. But I don't
believe any of it. I don't believe our FBI. I
don't believe our government. All of a sudden, it's so
convenient they can't find him. They don't say who it is.
They say the wrong guy. And all of a sudden,
they find a guy that's dead in a storage unit.
Can you expect us to believe that?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And they're saying he's the suspect, right, he's.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The man suspected of killing two and wounding nine others
at Brown University and then killing a Massachusetts Institute of
Technology professor has been found at a New Hampshire storage
facility where he had rented a.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Unit and then self inflicted gunshot.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Right, Yeah, you guys aren't as cynical as I am
about everything. Did you believe it?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I don't know. I mean, it definitely is suspicious.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
You don't have somebody from multiple dates. It is an embarrassment.
You have nobody. There are videos, they're putting out new videos.
They still can't identify the person. Heck, they identify the
wrong person.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And we don't know everything, but they But.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Again, it was so embarrassing, and all of a sudden,
now they found.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
The person, right right, right?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
In consider me somebody who's not in.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did I believe everything? I see it? I'm like, oh, well,
they found the guy, That's what they did that's what they.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Want us to do.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I know, and I fall for it every time.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And I'm just not conspiracy guy. But this is such
not a conspiracy to me that we get lied to
all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Like have they released anything like from him or do
they have any manifesto?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Or some YouTube videos or social media clips where he's
put up like hints.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's just so easy to say that it's him when
he can't say it's not him.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Because he's dead.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Claudio nevs Valente forty eight, a Portuguese national and former
Brown student, was found dead on Thursday evening from a
self inflicted gunshot wound. Oscar Perez, the Providence police chief,
set at a news conference. Perez said, as far as
the investigators know, the suspect acted alone. Lea Foley, the
US attorney in Massachusetts, set at a separate news conference
in Boston, that the same person also killed Knuno E. F. G. Lreo,
(02:47):
the MIT physics professor who was shot in his home
on Monday. Quote, he took his own life tonight. That's
from the Guardian. And you know what, maybe it's true,
but maybe it's mabelne.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So did what is the MIT professor have.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
To do same school, and they were I think they
he like was like in his class or something. There
was a connection where they knew each other.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, I mean they were about the same age.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, there was a connection where they knew each other.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Mike he had found because like he went to Brown
or he was enrolled in Brown in like two thousand
or two thousand and one. Yeah, and then he's forty
eight and the professor that died was forty seven.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Are those in the same area? What I t in Brown? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Boston, right, I think grew up in that north.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And Brown was in Boston. I thought Brown was like
a New Hampshire.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, that's all the same.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It says, that's a car ride.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
All that stuff is so close. That's a car like
the fact that Connecticut and New York City were so close,
like an hour away, always blew my mind because Theyd
letterman would do a show and drive home to Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh he lived in Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, he just drive home. WHOA, what do you see
as the connection there?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh you don't. I thought you were googling it over there.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Oh I am, I don't. I don't have anything yet.
I guess I'm just I was asking if you're all
check reddit.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
According to it's all on reddit.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah. The part of this article that I'm reading the
tipster who's reddit posts blew the case wide.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh yeah, see that's what I saw. That a Reddit
post is what made investigators look at this guy.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So here's what I don't believe that. If that was
the Reddit post that made investigators look, it was probably
put up by the investigators so they could say, we
found this reddit post to make us look for.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
This guy, the reddit post guy. The guy that posted
was a janitor at Brown University.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Or an asset because it was his former classmate.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Got it any motivation?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So they all seems too easy?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Like is it when someone's found dead? Is when it's
kind of like, huh, No one can talk when they're.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Dead, and the embarrassment of they couldn't find the person
for days.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And twenty five years later you take care of business.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, so the professor was a former classmate from ninety
five to two thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Well, where was that high school?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
A thing in Portugal? Oh, sounds like to be friends. Interesting,
I'm the new town, don't know anybody.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And maybe they were, and then I don't know, something happened.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Seems too too convenient. Uh okay, So there's that. The
second thing was, how about the freaking plane crash yesterday?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Careful did you see it?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, we talked about it, like what the race car
driver the died in plane crash yesterday?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
We're talking about Greg Biffle.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
No, you and I did.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, we didn't talk about another Hispanic feller.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Greg Biffle died fifty five years old. Plane crash. Plane
went up, they hit some issue, tried to turn around.
I guess they weren't gaining altitude. They had to turn
around for emergency landing, same airport crashed.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Did you see his wife? It sent a text to
her mom. She was like, the text just said we're
in trouble and so Eddie's wife and his two daughters
were on the plane.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's so sad.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Greg Biffle and his wife, Christina Biffle died, also the kids.
I'm sure the pilots. I thought at first maybe he
was flying, but I don't think it was when somebody
wants to fly their own plane. I think it was
a bigger plane.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah. I think I saw six people, so I assumed
the other two people were the pilots.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If Yeah, but that was just my massive fire. I
thought when I saw the fire of the plane crash
that it was a it landed and hit hard plane crash,
meaning it was up in the air, had to do
an emergency landing. I didn't realize what had happened where
they couldn't get up Quie had to turn around and
then they hit the ground the same it continues. We
(06:38):
asked for privacy, compassionate understanding as we grieved to begin
the process. Greg Biffle among the dead after a fiery
plane crash in North Carolina. The Cessna C five point fifty,
a light private jet register to a company owned by
the Star crash landed near a runway at a regional airport.
I believe in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, outside of Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, wild Not to start with two stories. Want to
make sure that I touched him. I don't know much
about NASCAR, so I'm not super familiar with him as
a NASCAR driver.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, are you No, I don't really know who he was.
I guess he was.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I heard his name. I think he's an older he's
like early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, it sucked. You got anything good?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Dad?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So far today.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
No, no, no, just in general.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh, I brought you guy sausa.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yes, yeah, that was goin to that. My thing is
I casually said to Eddie, I really want some salsa,
and he said just wait. And I didn't know what
he had in store. But what he had in store
is that he got all of us salsa.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Homemade roasted sasa.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Okay, he has to stop saying it like that because
now you're just doing it for effect.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's how I say it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's not it makes me say it now because you
know we laugh at it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Hey, it was tough too. Yesterday you saw the storm, Dude,
I was smoking in the storm smoking. You smoke all
the ingredients in the smoke. Really, Yeah, that's how you
get the smokers, all the vegetables. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I can't wait to just get some chips and dive
into this.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, everybody have one, one for even the classroom.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Uh yeah, glassroom has it. And then there's a bowl
outside for anyone else that didn't get one.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh, it's like what Morgan did.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Like community bowl.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Who didn't get one? Of course I didn't because he
wants to make me mad.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I'm just saying no, it's cool. Whatever. There's a
community bowl outside of you want something, but.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It looks like everybody got one but lunch box. So
that's his entire community.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I'm just joking. I brought him one. I just wanted to.
I wanted him to not feel the way Morgan made
him feel.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The way Morgan made him feel. Oh yeah, yeah, you
want to do did I don't have to?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah? I got to.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Events from twenty twenty five that will most likely make
it into history books. What do you think happened this year?
History wise? That's still still you would think about because man,
years go by and you're like, oh.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
That happened in there's like a history book. Big news events,
big the fires at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's big.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Do you think that the wildfires make it?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The wildfires in Los Angeles January seventh to thirty first, Yeah,
I would have been confused on what year that happened.
And also it's so far from us and there are
a lot of wildfires out there, but these were extremely big.
But for us, when we're far we just see it
on the news. We really don't know how big they are,
(09:24):
being all the way of country away, like we see
them and they say to us if we live closer
on you like flying over it, because we did fly over.
I did fly over once year, Like holy crap. But
there's just so much bad news now, Yeah, that's number two.
Anything else Taylor and traffis getting gaged or her traffis
Travis traffics traffic?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Is that what that mean? History?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, all right, then her tour the biggest of all time?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Do you mean like actual history books? Okay, so like
what kids will learn about one.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Day of like number one one big.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The coalplay.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What this happened May of last year of this twenty
twenty five May Number one happened in May. It didn't
happen in America. Oh, but it definitely affected America in
a big way.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
This stuff in Russia and Ukraine? Is that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
No, And that's been going on for a while, and
make sure that no, I just didn't know. The number
one is the first American Popeye. The death of Pope
Francis in April prompted the gathering of Catholic cardinals from
around the world to elect his successor, the new Pope.
The first American Pope Leo was May seventh of twenty
(10:52):
twenty five. Number three is Donald Trump takes office for
the second time. Number four in this affects a lot
of people. But again unless you're right in it, and
because it's happened so many times, I don't think you
understand maybe the severity of it for some folks. But
the US government experience as long as shutdown in history,
(11:16):
it didn't affect us directly. And it feels like the
government shuts down about twice a year where they're like,
we're not coming back till something happens. And so when
it happened so often and it doesn't affect you, it
just it's a blur.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The most I heard about it was like canceled flights,
you know, because of the government shut down.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
People would say, sound like the crazy Yeah, because that
had a chance to affect us. Two stranded astronauts returned
to Earth from the International Space Station at number five.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Remember that I do, but briefly. So they were up
there for a long time and then they just finally
came home.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
They were launching June fifth, twenty twenty four, and they
were supposed to spend eight days, and they came back
in March of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They did they did? Aren't they Chinese astronauts?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
They're not Sonny Williams and Butch Willmore. If that's Chinese,
I've really accepted the American culture.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Well, well, they're not the US ones.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I knew that, but I couldn't remember which.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Butch Willmore is not an American sounds like the most
American name ever.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Maybe they are.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Sunny Williams and Butch Willmore launched into space June twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
June thirty four, and they didn't. They were supposed to
be up there for eight days in the American March.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, where they from? I mean, there's no way, there's
no way. Butch I'm looking at him, There's no way.
He for America. I dude loves college football on a
Miller line.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Could be adopted.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Manh yeah, I'm pretty sure they're American because also it
is NASA.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Okay, wait, there were there were three more Chinese astronauts
that were strewing in its face.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That might be what this would you be? When they're like, sorry, man,
you got another month.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's like you want to spend a night or you're
waiting for somebody pick you up at school and your
mom doesn't come.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, the only one.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
They're out there, but everybody's gone. All the buses are gone,
the car car riders are gone. I don't know. A
teacher has to take you in and be like, hey,
come on back inside, we'll figure it out. Oh he's
so scared at school or in space?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
In space?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh yeah, man, Yeah, the school thing was scary when
you were the only one there and teachers weren't even there.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
How about whenever you didn't get off your bus stop
and all of a sudden you realize it and you're
way beyond your bus stop, and so you have to
ride the whole bus and go to the bus driver
and be like, I.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Forgot my stop or were you sleeping back there?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Like what possibly? You guys didn't do that and never
to stop and you had to ride the whole bus.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I did that. He did it at the other trailer park.
MA the same familiar to me.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And then you get off because you don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Embarrassed, and you walk home and then what do I do?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Two Minnesota lawmakers are shot in their homes in the
early morning hours of June fourteenth, twenty twenty five. Two
lawmakers in Minnesota were shot by a gunman disguised as
a law enforcement officer. State Senator John Hoffman and his
wife were injured by the assailant at their residence. The
gunman then proceeded to the home of State Representative Melissa
Hartman and her husband. He shot and killed them both.
That was wild that seeing that ring doorbell camera, the
(14:05):
footage of that guy in his mask, because he looked
like a cop, but he had like a you could
kind of tell it was rubber if you knew it
was rubber, but if you're just looking at the campus,
looks like a dude. All the plane crashes make the
list because there was a time where it was every day,
and then.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
After the United the American Equal in Washington, in Baltimore, Well.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
There's ice skating. A lot of them were skaters.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Dude, after that one went down, Yes, lots of s
from Wichita.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, that was this year.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, they ran in a helicopter. Helic helicopter ran into them.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Twenty twenty five or rough year for air travel, there
were more than twelve hundred aviation accidents, resulting in more
than two hundred and twenty fatalities. Most of the incidents
involved small planes, but the bigger ones grabbed the headlines
and then made us pay attention to the smaller ones.
January twenty ninth, an American Airlines flight bound for Reagan
National Airport near DC and a black Hawk helicopter collided midair.
There were sixty four people aboard the passenger jet inbound
(15:02):
from Wichitak, Kansas, and three members of the military aboard
the US Army copter. Yeah, that was crazy. Number eight
pennies ceased to be pressed by the US ment. So
this is the year they stopped making the penny. The
renaming of the Golf of Mexico, They're renaming a lot
of stuff. Golf of Mexico, they renamed the Department of Defense,
and they renamed the Kennedy Center now to the Trump
(15:26):
Trump Center Nnedy Center. That's slippery to be naming stuff
after yourself as a living president, because every president would
do that. It would all just all the buildings would
just be named after the person that was in. Yeah,
you got to die and then let them name things
after you. Man, I just have that power, though, to
name stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The Gulf of Mexico or the Gulf of America.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He's doing, Like, how.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Did that one stick not really okay because like other
countries don't have to call it that, right, no, but.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
They all I think he's the only one that calls it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
But to me, I don't look at it and go
Golf of America. Yet it is right now.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Like on Google Map, it is on Google mas.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Golf in America. Right my Golf of America. Golf of
America is maybe with a twelve year old who has
to start learning it that way, it starts to be that,
but for us it'll probably never be that.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Like who thinks of that? Who thinks of like? We
need to change that in there.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The death of Charlie Kirk comes in at number ten.
That's big Doze coming in making all the cuts, and
they just realize way later none of this works. Let
start hiring people back again. That was when Elon Musk
went in and was cutting. Yeah, the United States bombs
nuclear facilities and I ran at twelve the Diddy trial
(16:47):
and the Loof Heist to make the list. As far
as the biggest events of the year and news events,
we've done pop culture. I love your end lists. But
a man finds an exotic python under his hood in
Tennessee in Tennessee, oh Amonic got quite the surprise when
he popped the hood of his suv to find a
yellow python coiled up inside. Jesse Hodge had noticed a
(17:09):
strained smell coming from the vehicle, and he found the
dead snake when he checked under the hood. Workers the
Animal Center say the exotic python isn't native to Tennessee.
It was likely someone's escaped or abandoned pet from WMU R.
If that's my escaped or abandoned pet, you're never gonna
know it escaped or I abandoned it because it ended
up a new story, and they probably I don't know
(17:29):
if you can even have those. I'm sure you can.
But he found the snake, the yellow snake, sitting atop
the battery box. Luckily it was dead. Although pythons for
the most part, are not going to bite you attack you,
they don't. They're they're swirl.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Up and squeeze.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, and they can, but they don't have a venomous bite.
I guess anything can bite it. We can bite. If
we get in a tide that situation, we'll bite too.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Sure, I'll bite.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, all right, So go around the room.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Maybe jelly rolls slate is officially clean the Tennessee Governor Lee.
He pardoned all of his stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So he's not a felon anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I just talked about this somewhere, not here where that
bobbycast historday. Is that what it was? Baby? Man, I'm
having crazy day job, but I'm doing too much contact.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Are you over there thinking I was about to be
in trouble?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I wasn't.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I started thinking, could you pardon me? Did I read
this and just.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Have a conversation within myself or did I talk about it? Yeah,
because I remember saying, and this is what I'll say.
He's not in prison, So what's the pardon for? Because
when you pardon somebody, usually they get out of prison.
But there are certain but he doesn't get to vote,
there are certain things he can't do because of his crimes.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's it says, it removes the felonies from his record,
and he'll have an easier time booking international tour dates.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
It's huge.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I just always thought that was called expunged, when they
expunged from your record, And it's just uses of the word,
I guess because when someone gets pardoned, Now people get
pardoned all the time. They just pardoned that Hondura's president
who was a drug trafficker. He was just free from prison.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh the who pardoned him? The president, Yeah, Honduras.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
No America. Oh he was here America. Jerry said he
was guilty, a big drug trafficker. We said, yep, you're good.
Well for you. A pardon forgives the conviction, removes legal penalties,
and restores some rights like gun voting or excuse me,
voting or gun ownership. Gun voting will be fine, I
vote for guns. Expungement destroys the record, making it disappear,
(19:36):
acts as if the crime never happened, for background checks.
So so a pardon is not as good as an
expungement because a pardon it still remains on public record.
But there is a note that says pardoned.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Oh it says that back in April, the Tennessee Border
Parole endorsed him for a pardon by a unanimous vote.
And then it's just taken this long for the governor to, well.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Let's expunge that thing next, get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But it is kind of weird that an elected official
can just like say, you know what, you're.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Good, president, and governors can do pardons like that's.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Crazy or like they just don't like you, so you're
not good.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's also why when presidents, for the most part, are
leaving office, they pardon like two hundred people, yes, like
their family and stuff, because they don't want to have
to deal with it. Oh yeah, I didn't know the
difference in pardon and expungement. I would have thought it
was the opposite, that pardon was the big one, but
expungement's kind of the big one.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So jelly Roll can vote now and then.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
He can he can gun vote. Expungement is granted by
the judicial branch of judge. It's actually more common, but
it's restricted to specific, often less serious offenses, and it
is a complete disappearance of whatever you did. That's interesting. Yeah,
good for jelly Roll. Do you think that would have
(20:56):
happened if you didn't get super famous?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He has given a lot backing things.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Through his platform. He's been able to on a large
stage do so much good, so absolutely it draws attention
to him.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm not hating. I wouldn't be a doctor if it
wasn't for me kind of being whatever version of famous
this is. But you're a doctor, but I am a doctor.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, because he doesn't. I mean, I think this shows
I mean his story is so redemptive. But yes, because
he has chosen to give back in such a powerful way,
because he doesn't have to do that. Had he just
had hits and been super rich and famous, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I don't think he would have been met as warmly
with things like pardons. I did see where he went
at Thanksgiving and supplied like three hundred dinners to inmates,
constantly going to prisons talking to folks because like he
was in and he was like, there's when you get out,
there's a way. Yeah. Good for him. So the goal is,
once you get out of prison, just get famous and
(21:52):
then give.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Back and give back. You gotta give back, yeah, but
you gotta get famous first.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
You have the money to give back.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You gotta be really talented.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, you gotta have a couple of hits, got to
get a couple of countries on. After your wrap career
did well but not didn't turn you into a global superstar.
Then you go country, you pop globally, then you do
whatever you want. That's the pat let's go. That's it
all right, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Your story, this one kind of hits home a little
bit there's a recall on So Delicious dairy free salted
Caramel cluster. Say it ain't so, I don't know what
you just said.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, that's a good ice cream.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh it's an ice cream, dairy free ice cream.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Okay, start over.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
There's a recall on an ice cream called So Delicious yep,
dairy free salted caramel cluster.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Okay, I don't eat that kind.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Okay, but that's the best flavor they make, I think.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, what was in it?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
And the stones? They say stones? And do they say
stones and other hard objects? Stones?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
No, I would think that was like a cashew.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
At least you could say pebble to make it sound
less severe.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You're gonna go stones, stones and other hard objects, so
be careful when biden into the ice cream.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So I have stones and hard objects.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
And because I definitely ate this within the last week,
what that one?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That one you would have known because you would have
bit it. I'm hoping because you don't just swallow. You
don't just swallow ice cream hole though, you have to
melt it before you swallow.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
It a little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
But the little clusters in it are like cashewes and.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Like chew Those kind of.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
There's no what you're just swallowing a spoonful of this
without eating it, like chewing it.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I mean I chooed it a little bit, but I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I don't know how big.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
These stones stones, small stones.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Get chocolate covered coated.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
They don't say that humor me because the chocolate.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
I know.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You get a spoon, you go into your ice cream,
you put it in your mouth. Then what happens you.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Chew? You don't really chew, you do if there are
things like nuts, small stones.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Small stones. If it's just ice cream, you don't just swallow.
You don't go well, you let it melt in your
mouth and you kind of So if it's a stone,
you would probably know. So I probably broke a tooth
on it more than swallowed them.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But okay, so these salted caramel clusters are they hard?
Do you chew on them?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
So they're soft? Because that's a soft nut, aren't they?
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I used to when I was dairy free by choice.
I hate that kind all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, it says the stones are in the cashew pieces.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Okay, yeah you're that and those are ummy when you
bite on them?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
What the cash?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah, like I would want to bite them because they're like,
it's like Kimmy, but.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You haven't encountered this.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I don't that brand good for you.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
When I saw a story, I was worried for you.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, I don't eat that brand. I haven't really been
in an ice cream kick. I ordered three cookies the
other night. I think I told you guys, I got
three tubs of ice cream instead ordered three chocolate chip
cookies individually. I got three tubs of ice cream, and
so they're still in there. I love ice cream, but
I haven't been ice cream.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And you've got dairy free chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Vegan, so they wouldn't be dairy free. They list them
as V. So there's what's confusing is if there is
a V beside it, it means vegan, so I can
eat that. If there's VEG, it's vegetarian. You can't eat
can't always eat that. But things that are vegetarian can
also be vegan.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
But vegan for sure means no milk, no dairy.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Because it comes from animal. But I don't eat things
that are vegan for the most part. If they're like
sandwiches because I want meat, it's not a vegan.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You're just no dairy, no dairy, vegan.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
And also I can do other kinds of milk, almond milk,
con milk, you do soy milk, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I just don't do milk.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I mean soy milk, coconut milk, macadamian, not milk milk.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's not bad.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I'm sure if I didn't know the difference, it'd be fine.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, you can they have banana milk, banana milk.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I saw it sounds pretty good.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That sounds really good.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We're you a kind of oatmel now, I wish I
know the name of it.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oatmeal or oat milk, No oat mill, oatmeal, oat milk.
They do have oat milk accent. We have it.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
We're eating a great kind of oatmeal right now. Let
me ask my wife. And I put almond milk in
it because it's it's just a power. It's supposed to
be overnight oats, I think, but I always forget to
do it overnight. So then I just wake up in
the morning and then I do pour the bag of
oat million. I do a half cup of almond milk,
and before I put in the microwave, I kind of
get the texture a little right, because you can't get
(26:09):
it fully right, and then I put it in for
a minute and I come on and mix it again.
Is that how you make over milk?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah, microwave, that's exactly how you make it.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Is it still a little hard since it's not over?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
No, because he's putting in the microwave the overnight oats.
What's happening in that process is overnight. It's sort of
quote unquote cooking the oats because it's soaking overnight. But
if you heat it up, are you put boiling water
or you put it in the microwave, You're cooking the
oats that way.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
America voted the best New Year's Eve activity is drink.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
And going to bed early house party.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Number four scroll through social media on your phone.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
What numbers that cannot be an activity?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Guys, we're stupid.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Number three gets some sleep.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Okay, yeah, that can go sign on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That Is that an activity?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Anti activity?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I think it's just what you do. Number two go
to a party, and Number one watch Netflix or some
other streaming platform. Okay, it's cold. If it wasn't cold
on New Year's it'd be much easier.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I went downtown New Year's in June Nashville to do
the big concert thing you did. Oh yeah, like thirteen
years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I thought you said, who are you? It's bit or cold?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah? It was cold, I mean and we also had
you know, we were doing it a different way because
we were with the station like had you know, like
in the tint you're a little warmer, and it was
still a this was fun check the box. Don't think
I'll ever come down here again, have you?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Guys? Are so many people gone to like an awesome,
awesome New Year's the party you're like, that was epic.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, my wedding.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I feel like New Year's is like prom If it
didn't have the expectation on it, it would be fun.
But because there's such an expectation, if you go do something,
you get dressed, you wear a funny hate you, it's
a party, it's a big celebration. All of that's happened.
So I don't think it can quite live up to
the hype. Generally speaking, just like PROMP, it's super fun,
but you spend all of high school going I can't
(28:02):
wait to brohm. It's romanticized and television shows and movies,
so it's really hard for it to hit So that
being said, I think I've went to a couple of
good parties that probably would have been great had there
not been the build up to it, like all year
to build up to it. Yeah, why have you?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I know, never I've gone to Like there was a
time when like New Year's Eve, Dad, my dad would
throw a party and he'd always make us go to
the party, and so I'd always be upset because I'm like, man,
like my friends are throwing parties, like I can I
want to go to that party. And then finally one
year I said, like I want to go to that party.
I'm not going to my family's party.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
And it was like it suck.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That was stupid, Like my dad's parties better than this,
and I just felt like, you're right. I feel like
the anticipation of like, ooh, New Year's Eve party, it's
gonna be awesome, it just wasn't. It was just like
a normal party.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, then you hit that threshold of starting to get
older and it's not even worth seeing if there's a
thing of gold into the rainbow because you've chased a
goal for so long and it's just been like, you know,
I just don't think it's going to be the pot
of gold. Yeah, so I'm gonna just stay home or
go to bed or whatever.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Well, yeah, and we just don't feel the same, like
staying up past a certain point or consuming certain amounts
of alcohol. It doesn't feel the same. Recovery can't handle, man,
So you're just like it's not worth it. It's like
a risk reward traces.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oats familiar.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, but I was just about to ask you if
you figured it out, because I.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Didn't figure it out.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Stevenson is so into oatmeal right now, my wife.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
They're great because this morning I tried and there's no
milk in it, but I tried the strawberry milk flavor.
It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
That's cool. Is it in a cup already or do
you pour it in something?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It's in a bag, kind of like the old oat icy.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, cute.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
The packaging.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
It comes in different flavors like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Oh wow, it's got fifteen grams of protein and no
added sugar.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You don't even seen my muscles lately, and it's because
all oatmeal I'm.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Eaten screens, my foss eate free oats.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I don't know what any of that means. Kind of
if my wife puts in our house, it's I feel
like it's safe for me.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
We have a small refrigerator, like a college refrigerator that
is not in the kitchen. It's in like a We
have also like this weird wine cellar that we don't
it's it's not a cellar because it's not underground. But
we don't have like a bunch of alcohol. No, we
have like eight bottles of gifted alcohol, and so it's
next to that. So it's in this area the house
that has like a little refrigerator in it. And she'll
(30:22):
keep anything that I can't eat in that away from
you so I don't accidentally hop in and just start
eating something and then it gets sick.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, it's very selfless of her. You're looking at it still.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
They have a starter packet. It'll give you a variety
of all the different that's what we kinds. They've got
strawberry milk, brownie, battered blueberry muffin, and maple vanilla.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Maple vanilla, and there's not really flavors that I pursue,
but it's really good.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
You don't like vanilla, No.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I like vanilla. I don't like maple as a flavor.
I like syrup, but I don't like maple being a
flavor of something I'm eating. I like to dedicate that
to just syrup. Yeah, okay, I do love pancakes, and
I do love syrup. Maple flavored stuff like they don't
make maple flavored Jolly Rangers for a reason sounds good?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Actually it does.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, that are like we're there's originals kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, I didn't think that people would think of maple
candy is good.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I well, syrup, but what is when you say where
there's original it is kind of like a h. Then
maybe it's more like caramel, a caramel hard candy.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's like a Jolly Ranger caramel, caramel, caramel whatever I.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Say it both ways, caramel caramel.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
A survey explore the causes of Christmas chaos. What would
get most chaotic during Christmas for you, guys?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Chaotic?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Any last minute shopping?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Okay, that could be something like having to get the shopping.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Done if you're hosting.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
So at number one at thirty three percent is the cooking,
like trying to get all the cooking done before people
come over. You also have board games getting too competitive,
the families playing board games. You also have family politics.
You also have TV remote wars, what to watch. What's
(32:07):
fun about Christmas now is the sports world has allowed
us to have a good docative NFL games meaning just
like three games, right, yeah, a couple on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
You don't like that.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
It just it allows for something to be on TV
and for something to just have on that people can
talk about. I know. There just isn't like a universal
parade type thing.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
On Chris Now.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
There's Christmas movies.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, the Christmas Story, but then you have to hop
you got to start at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Like a game, you can just like casually just jump in.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I love having sports on TV. Just on and if
you want to sit and watch it, you can if
you have to, nobody has to.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I feel like with a movie, I get annoyed because
if I didn't start with the movie, I don't want
to jump in halfway through. If I walk in on it.
I don't mind if there's a game on, even if
it's not my team's maybe I'm I'm just a sports fan.
And that's why like.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Sports and I doesn't bother me as much as and
I'm talking about a visceral reaction inside my body, so
I can't explain it. But if like sports are on
during the daytime, I've always like it's just been like
a I don't even want to be around it. And
I tried to actually work through this, like what is
my problem?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Because it's been, you know, all in my marriage, like
it was a problem. And I think that sometimes when
I was with my dad and it must have been
daylight out, he would be watching sports and I would
be trying to talk to him, and he like wouldn't
hear me, you know, like I would talk and he
was not something about yes, it could be football, golf.
(33:37):
I mean he would just sit on the couch with
like his hands on his head and maybe yes he gambled,
but like.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I need to feel low here.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
But do you know, did you ever meet the booky?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
No, no, we didn't know.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
He didn't come around the house.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
No, it wasn't like that. I would have to be
then because I know, well I know that when my
dad moved out, my mom at one point was cleaning
out our garage and she was finding cash hidden everywhere
and she knew she was like, oh yeah, this is
probably his gambling money, like in a gardening glove, like
deep inside there'd be like a lot of it'd be
like five hundred dollars. Uh you know, so yeah, yes,
(34:20):
I mean my dad did. Listen, I've about all kinds
of things like oh, I mean in my dad's house.
You know, I was singing about this the other day.
You know. You know, everybody had business cards back then,
you know, and they keep them out like if you
exchange information, you got someone's business card. And I don't
know whose business card this was, but they worked at
a Yellow Rose A woman, no, I mean it might
(34:41):
have been a guy.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't know security.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I don't think the strippers had cards.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I don't think they had business cards. It was like
a but I just remember in my dad's kitchen, like
there being a stack of business cards that he had
like unloaded from the day and I was like, oh, ew,
he had a meeting there today, Like that means he
probably had. They probably had business meeting there, like lunches.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I remember my dad went to he went to a
strip club, like and we knew everyone knew, like so
that when people would call the house, I would answer
the phone and they'd be like, hey, is your dad there? Like, nah,
he's at text Mechs.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Like that's really a place was called texting text Mex
Uh strip club. I stop in for a burrito and
I'm like, what the heck?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, well yeah down there.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
My sister would answer the phone text Mex text Mechs.
That's what it was called.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, that's like on the border.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah yeah, because it was.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Though they have nice, good foods.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I never went, Oh because took my brother and never
took me.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Dudes, du du really yeah he took your brother.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And then I'm almost like you got to not do that,
so I never got to go.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Dudes would be like they make the best takes.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Yeah, that's what they say. My dad said Hooters had
the best wing.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Yes, they would say that, dude. The lunch is girl.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
That's what they say about playboards of the articles, articles.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Articles, Yeah, you learned so much.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Obviously for my dad it wasn't hidden the thing. I
mean we never talked about it, but my stepmom was
in the kid like, it's not like he was hot,
you know, she probably knew. Oh yeah, and its calendar
lunch meeting.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Times man, yeah weird. And my dad had a Bookie.
His name was well, we called him the Diablo.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
When do you come around the house the devil, either
to give or to pick up his money?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Correct, either he was coming to collect or he had
an envelope with.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I feel like Eddie's dad and my dad would have
been best friends for sure, because also my dad was
fluent in Spanish and they could just go to Mexico
and have a good time.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Did it always surprise people, like other white people when
your dad could just rip Spanish?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I think so. Especially my dad and his brothers got
together because they would just talk to each other. They
and my uncles were even better than my dad because
they stayed in South Texas. And I remember at a
family reunion once in Dilley, Texas, there was more Hispanics
there than white people, and I was like Dad, and
he goes, ah, they're basically family.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Like, hey, that's like the South and and the Hispanic culture.
Lots of cousins, lots of yeah that you're not even
related to.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
He's like, yeah, this is just at.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
The Spanish culture, Eddie. No, you're good, don't you go
on like a lot of relatives that aren't really related
to you.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Yeah, My wife gets confused, going like they're my cousin,
but they're.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Not really my cousin.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But it was extremely a Southern thing too, because we
had a lot of cousins, a lot of this is
your aunt. We weren't related at all. It was just
like somebody that lived close it would take care of you. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
There was one literally I found out when my mom
was here over Thanksgiving. She's like, no, she wasn't your.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Real Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, now I guess older. Yeah, a lot of their
the people they worked with, like everybody. I think my
my dad told me this story. Who knows but my
grand my his mom because his dad died when my
dad was like a month old. So she needed extra help.
And so there was this Hispanic got like literally he
was from Mexico and he would come over and he
helped a lot on her. She raised chickens and they
(37:54):
had watermelon.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
He had a bunch of water was water on like
capt capital.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Of the World.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
They have a watermelon statue. And that's how my grandpa died.
He got run over by his watermelon.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Truck so backed over him, right, Yes, when he was
unloading the wall back over him. Yes, that sucks.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I know it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Sometimes you get the respect it deserts in our conversations
because we've talked about it so much, and watermelon throws
it all off because watermelon's like fun, yes, in summer
and refreshing so and it's like that. It's when monkey
was a thing. You put the word monkey on a
terrible disease, You're like, that kind of sounds fun. It
really was terrible. All died from a truck back and
over him.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah, and I guess in the Texas heat too, with
the watermelon. Like to this day, my dad does not
eat watermelon. He cannot stand watermelon because the heat when
it would spoil, the smell like, he just cannot even
handle it well. Anyway, Uh, they had obviously this whoever
this was that came to work with them a couple
of times a year would want to go back to
Mexico to see his family, and my aunt would just
(38:54):
go turn him in and they would ship him back
so he would be like illegal and then he get
to go back to Mexico for free, and then he'd
across and then come and then my grandma would be
like okay, come on, and they were all in on it.
She's like, I'll go turn you in now.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
To Mexico is not very close, and.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Then they would just go and then they get a
free ride back home.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, that was the thing that just like Otis and
Andy Griffith to go check himself into the prison drunk,
same thing. That's wild.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
So I'm telling you there was a lot of Hispanic influence.
So I guess when my dad was down south, nobody
was surprised. But I think when my dad was in
Austin and he started speaking fluently or like, and he
was really good at it a lot of especially because
he worked. He would build restaurants. A lot of the
construct like the workers. He'd be and I think my
dad would show up on the job site and probably
a lot of the workers are like, oh great, here's
the gringo. And then my dad they would like end
(39:45):
up loving him right away because he was he could
talk to them fluently, and my dad was obvious.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
He was really cool obviously gambling strip club women.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
But I mean he wasn't like I think sometimes like
being if he was in charge like the boss, like,
he wasn't one that was like too good, like he
would pull up the grill and like cook lunch for
everybody that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
That's like, so that's so much like my dad.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I'm telling you. I think they would have been best
friends for real crazy and maybe they are now.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
They're hanging out right now, they're like, who's gonna win
an Alabama or o you?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
They're at the Pearl of Gate. That's the establishment there.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
That's that was the joke of my dad's memorial. Like
you think he got it or not. I don't know.
He's probably negotiating his way in right now.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
They're both up at the Yellow Rods of Heaven and
then Nicole Smith, but.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Smith who's working up there?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Yeah, what's one word you would use to describe your job?
You just get one. I have the top answers from
American workers, so it's going to be different than probably
what you say. Our job is a bit different. But
what's one word to describe your job? Amy Gosh? Well,
the word that keeps one word you can talk after
one word.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I'm probably doing it wrong.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah you are. I mean one word lucky. Okay, so
that's your relationship to the job. There were no rules
on this. Lucky works. We'll sit there, we can come
back to it. One word, Eddie, one word, do not
fill a buster.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I'm gonna go with early.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
That's where I would have gone first. I'll pivot, but okay,
hold lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Strenuous, really taxing.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Okay, one word, Morgan, different, that's good. I think mine
would be constant because it's I constantly. As soon as
it's over, I'm constantly and we can now elaborate a bit.
I'm now constantly working on the next thing or the
(41:58):
next show or podcas or whatever it is. It's constant
with me. So I'm gonna go constant. Why lucky for you?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
So in school I used to get in trouble for
talking all the time, and now I get paid to talk,
So that is so I just like, yeah, it worked
on it worked out for me. It is like some
of my teachers are gonna be like, yeah, what's up now?
Speaker 2 (42:18):
You said early. It's like it's it's too early for
your mind to be like, all right, let's talk last night.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I'm glad you said that. Last night, I did Caitlin
Bristow's podcast and I did it at like six thirty PM.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Well, yeah, that's late for you. I was so on,
Oh really, it's six thirty.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, but you'd been working all day. I could see
six thirty being on if you got if you woke
up at ten am.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I actually had been so on because I'd gone from
this show to a meeting. We had Bobby cast did,
we had Caitlin. But we've been working all day. It
doesn't matter. Like I stopped by the house for a minute,
ate some food, went six thirty pm is my It's
time to fly, and so it was. It was. I
just felt so good, like this show would be so
much better for a six thirty PM. Wouldn't get paid
as much, but it'd be so much better. And it
(43:07):
started storming. It was real badstorm last night.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yeah, yeah, we did.
Speaker 3 (43:12):
I have a hole in my roof of a leak
and it was leaking. Well I have I cut a
hole out to see if they're for sure was a leak?
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Wait, you cut a hole?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Okay, so it looked like because it wasn't. It looked
like there was some water, but I wasn't for sure
because I was like, is that just a spot? And
I got paranoid on the ceiling and above my shower.
So then I hired somebody to come cut a hole.
But then we had to wait for it to rain.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
And it's such a small cut a long time ago,
and you waited.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Yes, I've been waiting.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
It was like, okay, clouds on the Apple app let's
get a hole up there.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
No, but I've been waiting. And even if it's just
a moderate rain, it it's not that obvious. It's so
hard to tell what's really happening. But if it pours
like yesterday day, we know.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
Now did you bucket it?
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Confirmed? No, because it's dripping right into the shower. So
it's fine. But now I know, which is great. Now,
I just need to get that handled.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Does it go? Do you hear it the water hit
in the shower?
Speaker 5 (44:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (44:17):
No, it's not like that. But it's like I will
step away and then I come back and I know
my shower floor wasn't wet at all, and then I'll
see all the little drops because that's how it's very
I don't the hole must be tiny up in the roof.
But when you get a lot of rain, it got
a lot of drops. So now I know. Now I know,
and I can't wait to patch it up or figure
out the hole and then patch it up because it's
(44:37):
getting cold in my bathroom because basically have all the
winter winter.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
The rain yesterday too though it was like coming sideways.
It was that it was like that kind of rain.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I think that's why it got more action, Like I
got more because it was.
Speaker 6 (44:51):
Like.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Morgan, your word was different. Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (44:57):
I think I've just realized when I you know, I
talk to other people about their jobs. In mind, this
is just such a different job. It's hard to relate
to other people because it's not the same thing and
different in a good way too. It's a really cool
job that's so isolated you can't really replicate it, like
this is a cool job in itself.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Lunchbox, you said strenuous. Yeah, it's just very strenuous. People
think it's so easy, but it's very hard to be
on all the time, have great things to say, be
smart about things, always being feeding off other people. It's
a lot harder than people think. They think, oh I
can do that's so easy. Now you can't. Maybe they could.
I find that a lot of people because everybody has
(45:34):
a podcast. Now everybody has a podcast, and they're not good.
I find that a lot of people can do six
really good podcasts and it's not the ability to tell
a story. It's the ability to constantly come up with
more and more stories. A lot of professional athletes do
really great podcasts for like five or six episodes, and
then you run out of stories to tell. And that's
the hardest thing about doing a podcast is the consistency
(45:56):
of it. Like you have to do one or two
a week, and it's so fun and it's great, but
people quit because it takes one hundred of them to
get any sort of traction, and that's a small number,
especially if you're not super famous, and even if you
are super famous. Now there's ten thousand people with a podcast,
so it's so hard to get anybody to listen because
there's only so many hours in the day, so many
(46:16):
free times people have to listen to a podcast. But
I think a lot of people could do a really
good podcast. But it's hard because it's a muscle you
have to work to be able to constantly. I use
the word constant online to constantly have material. And I think,
for me, I'm glad we have a break soon. I burn,
and I think a little bit, I start to let
myself burn because I know the end is coming because
(46:38):
I'm doing this show and then this podcast, and then
we do twenty five whistles, and then I do the
show we work with for the NFL, and then I
do two Bobby casts a week, And so I'm having
a constantly go do I talk about this? And I
keep notes of almost everything, and I look at things before.
I didn't this morning as much because I didn't where
I talked about that story earlier, the plane crashing. So
I'm starting to get a little burnt, little crack. But yeah,
(47:00):
that's the hard part, is constantly going not being amazing,
but just constantly being pretty good to.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Good, not being smart. Like Onnchwalk said saying, I don't feel.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Like I say smart things all the time. I feel
like sometimes I have to trust that I wasn't extremely
unentertaining because I'm not feeling good. I'm like, man, that sucked.
That day sucked, and I have to go, you probably
didn't feel good and that's why it didn't feel that good,
more so than you tell yourself. I have to or
I'll spiral out. And then I have to really not
(47:31):
spend a lot of time looking at what I just
finished because I've got something else to do. Because we
do this show every day and I have another at
least hour, hour and a half of a different podcast
every single day to do. I'm not complaining at all,
because it's I've built it, and I've built it for
me and I love doing it. But and I think
everybody could be really good at it for a second
and then some for an hour, But then usually what
(47:51):
separates is can you do it constantly over two years?
Now that everybody has a podcast too? There you go.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
So we do have a cool job, though, I feel
everyone always asks me like, hey, tell me about your work,
like what you do? What do you guys do this week?
You traveling?
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Who'd you talk to?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Who do you all interview? Like all the time, and
it's it's I mean, I'm not asking them like what
happened in court today?
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Hope your spreadsheet?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Like what to coffee right this week?
Speaker 1 (48:16):
I think I have a problem understanding that some people's
priorities aren't to get ahead in their career. I think
for a long time, even when I would hire people,
I would go, Okay, here's how I can invest you,
here's the long term, here's what you can And some
people just want to work but invest in their home
(48:38):
life way more. And I think I had a hard
time understanding that some people's job is just their job,
and I think I wish I was a little more
like that at times. I mean, I sacrificed a lot
to build this, But now I unders like, my wife
is such a family person that I can now see
(48:59):
for the first time the value of investing in things
that aren't your job, your career, money, that type of thing.
And so it's really the first time that I've been
able to see that, because forever I would hire somebody
and they wouldn't really want to way up, they wouldn't
really want to build.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
They would be like, I just love the job.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
Wait what, you don't want to grow him?
Speaker 2 (49:21):
I'm good. Ray did that.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
I tried to move Ray up a couple of times.
Ray's like the greatest worker, and he's like, I'm good man.
You don't want to like run the show.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
No, no, no, we're good.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
Ray was going to run the show, but no, but
definitely have the ability to do more. Yeah, but he
does so much. He's like, you know, I feel great
where I am now. He's made more money obviously through
the years, but Ray loves his home time. But here
he's the first one here most consistent person we have here, Ray,
Do you love your hometime more than worktime? Uh?
Speaker 6 (49:57):
Home time's different now my wife works at home and
her job's gotten a little stressful. He has to see
his wife at home, so it's not the same. So
I do enjoy being home, but it's all about compartmentalizing stuff.
So do I like my home time when I go
at like one pm? No, because she's doing calls and stuff.
I love it at four pm when she's done. Though,
Why did you never want a promotion? I just didn't
(50:18):
like the stuff that it entailed, and I just didn't
feel like i'd have any power. Kind of felt like
i'd be pushed around. So I was like, definitely not.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
I never really understood it. I do now more so
because you value you just value different things and read
values always value different things, but it's always is. Still
it had no effect on his work ethic. I always
thought people want a work card for sure, want to
move up. Rady's like, no, I got awesome job, I'm good.
I want to screw it up. Do you feel like
that's fair of me to say? Yeah, Okay, I don't.
(50:47):
I don't want that to feel like it's insulting. I
would look at it and go and that's really cool.
I wish I had a little bit of that.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Yeah, I just knew.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
I mean we're talking like five or more years ago.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
I was a while ago.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Maybe I changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Now you wanted the chance. He's like, I want to
run things now.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
Man, I don't sound weird I'm describing it.
Speaker 3 (51:10):
Uh No, I mean I don't know Ray's whole situation.
So even that aside, No, I think, yeah, it makes
sense what you're saying that you don't You don't You
didn't get it. Now that you have a wife and
have other things too, she's opened your eyes and your
heart to family life. Not that you're gonna pivot much,
(51:33):
but you maybe now can see where other people have
been coming from all these years.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
I can understand and appreciate the value of investing in
things other than just your career, which I couldn't because
it's really all I had for a long time.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
So that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (51:45):
It was like, it's all I have, I'm gonna kill it.
Uh yeah, it's kind of great. Like I root for
Oklahoma to win football games, like that's the big that's
the craziest thing. That I could ever say. And that's
all because of that. Like, I like my father in
law to have joy talking about about my wife. She's
annoying about it. So I father in law like for
him to win those games.
Speaker 2 (52:03):
Sweet dude.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yeah, they played tonight. I hope they beat Alabama. I
don't think they will. I think Alabama rolls, but I
want Oklahoma to win because I want to see him happy. Now,
if they do lose, I don't know. I'd kind of
like to see my wife suffer for a minute on
that one, because she rubs it in. We suck. It's
like you only got two wins this year. Huh. It's playful,
but still, you know. But but the fact that I
(52:26):
can look at another team ago, I really hope they
win for someone else. That's that's top of it. Because
I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (52:33):
That's how you know you.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I won't even let Amy's boyfriend have two favorite teams.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
You shouldn't, guys, I made him choose. I made him choose.
He chose Uva.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
Okay, good with the side of Alburn, he should thank
you with the son of Auburn, all right, I.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Guess you'll be turned for Oklahoma though. Tonight why because
he hates Alabama.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
Oh because his side of Auburn, his little side, his
side chicks in him.
Speaker 4 (53:00):
He hates it.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
All right, that's it. What are you doing this weekend?
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Finishing a little bit of shopping that I need to
do for my son. Mostly I have all of my
daughter's stuff. I think.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
I think I'm done shopping. By the way. I it's
different because you and my wife are friends. And she
said you were coming over next week or something, mm
hmm okay, whatever that was. I was like, hey, we
should do take Amy's present, And because she's she's like, no,
she's coming over next week.
Speaker 3 (53:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
So I don't have any present for you here.
Speaker 3 (53:30):
Yeah I know. Oh I already gave everybody else their
gifts too here in the garage. No, no, I do
want to do it one one. I did kind of
do it one on one. I didn't like, just will
an iliad out for everybody, But hopefully everybody liked their
(53:50):
little things. I work, I try, and y'all knows what
his is. And I got him a puzzle because now
he's a puzzle guy.
Speaker 2 (53:56):
There's a Dolly puzzle, and.
Speaker 3 (53:58):
But I looked for a n F Peltrow puzzle. I
couldn't find it, So Dolly was kind of glad.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
You didn't give me the glen because my wife would
be like, what really, Like.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (54:06):
Would you consider the goot vagina candle?
Speaker 3 (54:10):
That is funny you say that, because I did order
candles for some of the others on the in the group,
and that would have been a good one.
Speaker 2 (54:19):
I've definitelywn that away for sure.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
That also would have been really weird and disrespectful to
Eddie's wife. And I figured Dolly is a safe blonde.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (54:29):
She's probably the only woman puzzle you could put together
that's not questionable.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Five hundred piece.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
I can probably do that in like one day, show
off a dedicated day though, right, oh yeah, in the morning,
you're like, my goal today is.
Speaker 3 (54:42):
To do this puzzle, and actually to do her hair
is going to be the hardest part.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
Yeah, all the blonde?
Speaker 4 (54:47):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (54:47):
Because you are you wanting more followers on social media? Like,
is that a goal of yours?
Speaker 1 (54:52):
No? Okay, been great?
Speaker 3 (54:53):
Well why are you asking.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
That you could live stream you putting it together? A
five hundred piece puzzle? You'd have to do it all
in the stream. You'd gain a lot of followers.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
Dang, okay, Like if that's something you really wanted to
be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
Like just set it up and like he leaves the
live stream running the entire the puzzle.
Speaker 1 (55:09):
People would watch that come back on that if like
you had to, you had the box up where they
could see what it was going to be, and there
was a puzzle there and you just live streamed it
for four hours. That would be relaxing for some people.
I think it would be fun.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
Does he talk?
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Yeah, you don't have to the whole time. It's not
like you're playing video games. But people really wouldn't be
there for the entertainment. They would just be there for
the puzzle. And that's how you would get the new people.
They didn't know you as a person on this show.
They would just be like, oh, this guy does puzzles.
That literally could be your thing.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
I'm a puzzle guy.
Speaker 3 (55:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (55:40):
You could get so many followers by live streaming putting
to the other puzzles. You'd have to do it consistently,
but that would be a thing if.
Speaker 3 (55:46):
You find the time.
Speaker 2 (55:48):
I mean, I have to like kick everyone out of
the house, Like all right, guys, I'm gonna put a
puzzle together.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Well, you could do an hour a day or something
and not finish every puzzle and just constantly go back.
Speaker 3 (55:56):
Oh, I thought he was just on a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
He's just like, wait, could you could do the whole thing?
Speaker 2 (56:00):
Would that be ballard?
Speaker 1 (56:01):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (56:01):
If I went live and finish the whole puzzle, set
a timer, a clock.
Speaker 1 (56:04):
So I add an idea of putting together a puzzle
while doing an interview, and you have to live stream
the whole thing or in record it for a podcast.
But the problem with that was you don't know how
long it's going to be. So let's say I have
I use Caitlin Butts as an example. She was over
yesterday we're recording a podcast. I was like, Hey, we're
gonna put together this's Dolly Puzzles, five hundred pieces. It's
(56:24):
we're gonna clip it. It's gonna go up as a
podcast and we'll clip it and it'll be a live stream.
That's I think fun and novel. But also I can't
say it's only going to take an hour.
Speaker 2 (56:34):
Yeah, but you guys would work on it together, right.
Speaker 1 (56:35):
Yeah, we do the while we were doing It's like
a comedians and cars getting coffee it's just an activity
that you're doing while you're doing the interview, and you're
able to, you know, ship it off to India and
have them clip the crap out of it for eighty
bucks and you get all the clips, you get the
full audio of the podcast, the full YouTube. I mean,
it's good idea, just quite. You have to you have
(56:56):
to have somebody you're comfortable with, because that would take
a couple hours. Smaller one.
Speaker 2 (57:00):
How you do a hundred piece?
Speaker 3 (57:01):
Yeah, they have hundred ones soon.
Speaker 2 (57:03):
You'll probably get that done in thirty minutes. Really, so
one hundred piece. Maybe the key is to start with
the edges. You start with the edges first and then
you fill in the middle.
Speaker 1 (57:11):
Should we do that on the Netflix show Mike, get
a smaller puzzle and get someone to put a whole puzzle.
Thing about that is we can we can't really go
over an hour, ten hour fifteen our episodes because we
signed a deal for eighty episodes for the year. One
hundred piece puzzle, most adults take twenty minutes to an
hour off for sure, be in the hour part.
Speaker 4 (57:28):
But that one adult, It says most adults, So does
it works?
Speaker 2 (57:33):
Does a couple of times Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
Is it like you can put it's you know, double
make it harder.
Speaker 3 (57:39):
But everybody has their different method, Like some people do
like to do the border first, some people like to
color sort.
Speaker 1 (57:45):
Maybe we can do a small puzzle episode.
Speaker 2 (57:47):
You guys have they have one of the fifty states,
have an understanding, there's fifty.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
If there's less than yes, that's fun.
Speaker 2 (57:54):
Now we put that together in thirty minute area.
Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yeah, I just assumed all those puzzles were big, Like,
what's the use of putting together they're a one hundred
piece puzzle because it would ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (58:03):
You know what. I really wanted to get Eddie, but
I saw it too late. It was because it already
had handle. Maybe next year I found out he was
into puzzles after the admit calendar started. But at Anthropology
they had an advent calendar. Uh so it was twenty
four little one hundred piece puzzles. So each day your advent,
(58:26):
the thing you pulled out was a different hundred piece puzzle.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
That's intense.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Wow, kill me, No, it looks so cool. I'm sure
it was cool.
Speaker 2 (58:35):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
You're committed every day? How big are the puzzles piece.
Is that I'm forgetting, you said five hundred.
Speaker 2 (58:40):
One hundred.
Speaker 1 (58:42):
Said, yeah, oh kill me, give me a twenty piece
puzzle every day. Maybe I could do that. I wonder
how if that helps your brain? Yes, it helps you
relax No, focused on something.
Speaker 3 (58:52):
No, it's one of the It can be relaxing, it
can be therapeutic. But you no, it is good for
your brain.
Speaker 2 (59:00):
I love it, but it's such a time waster, like
when you're when I'm done, Like when I finish my
thousand piece, I'm just like, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (59:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (59:07):
And now I'm just gonna tear it apart and give
it to my neighbor.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
But if you ever see those monks that are always
put it, that are doing the the making of the
really the cool art, and as soon as they're done,
they wipe it away. They spend like months and years
building this, it's really intricate art, and then as soon
as they finish, it's because it's just about the process. Okay,
it's not about I get that, and I'm talking about
it's a plus level art. And they may they may
(59:32):
be Buddhists. Again, I'm trying to recall from something that
I saw a documentary on. Yeah, and as soon as
it's done, it gets erased. It is wild. It is
the Tibetan Buddhist sand mandols I think it was. Or
what did that, Mike?
Speaker 4 (59:45):
How do you say that mandala?
Speaker 1 (59:47):
It's an intricate, colorful creation made by monks. Oh, you
can be both Buddhists and monk okay using colored sand
only to be ritually destroyed dissolved shortly after completion, to
symbolize the Buddhist teaching of I don't know what the
or it is, of all material life and spread healing energies. Also,
my vision, what I'm seeing on the screen is so small.
(01:00:08):
I have to do that make it bigger now.
Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Yeah, So the cognitive benefits of puzzles bobby, improved memory, enhance,
problem solving skills, increase, concentration, slow and cognitive decline.
Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
That's what I need.
Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
And so those are the brain benefits. But then, like
we said, there's the emotional benefits like stress relief, enhanced mood.
They can be a sole activity, but if you do
it with family or friends, then you got some social
interaction there.
Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
You fight with them.
Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
I don't really let my kids do it because the
more pieces together, No no, no, no, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
All right, we're done, so we will have a podcast Monday,
probably Tuesday as well, but we're done for the day.
All you part tours, we really appreciate you listening if
you are a part tour, because again I think there's
a preference. I think everybody's a preference. Part one a
little more fast paced, a little more, a little more
decision involved. Part two it is just us hanging out
talking about stuff. You can always let me know on
(01:01:04):
the DMS which one you prefer, Part one or Part two,
because there are two totally different types of shows. But
we appreciate you guys. Hope you have a good weekend,
and we will see you guys soon.
