Speaker 1 (00:00):
Five six sixty nine zero is the text line which
is still popping from Uh, I guess the last show
where it was KWI sports slash haters Country. Today, we're
happy to pick up that mattel and run with it.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
A lot going on today, man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
We Uh we got to twenty wins, guys, the Rockies,
twenty wins on the season.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's the dead of July, but we got there.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's funny that then you said, in a matter of
I don't know, thirty seconds, we we you said we.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I'm hitting it as about as well as anyone on
the team.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
It's only we when we win.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That that is that. I don't want the stench of
that on me. Yeah, put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, that says so much about the personality of one
Benjaminal Bright. As long as the team is winning, you know,
it's it's a we.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
When it's not it's them or yeah them over there,
they're not winning twenty and sixty seven. What would you
just sell? But they just won.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They got the twenty wins just the time for fourth
of July weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
This should be somewhat of a kind of like uh
fireworks show right after the game would or not?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
There used to be when I lived across the street
and the fireworks would go off.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
The show, I would like to think, because right now
you're the only game in town and it is fourth
of July. Uh, there would be some some fireworks or
some sort. But there were fireworks today. The Rockies, you know,
won the game. Yes, it's only the twentieth win, but
you gotta celebrate something, right, right, Grant right?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Do you gotta spend.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Our Fireworksmorrow and Saturday after the game?
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I am very observant, and I am noticing, unless I
can't really see through the haze of the glass, you're
not wearing anything Rockies related.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
No, which means that's why they won. It's like the
ops of last year.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Okay, it's so it's like bizago world right now or.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
On the upside down.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, So from here from here on out, let's test this.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let's that's this theory.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Don't wear anything Rocky related for the next six games,
and let's see what happens.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Easily done, Okay, done?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I can't will not wear anything Rockies related, and
not just because I don't own anything Rockies related Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah, and people will quit asking me, wow, you're still
wearing Rockies gear after this.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
He's he's a riding ship all the way down.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, yes, but it.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Don't be that much sweeter when it rises back to
the top.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
No, that's the thing. When would the cream rise to
the top?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Grant? When should fans expect that to happen? Never give it?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Four or five, ten, fifteen, twenty?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Damn? What will I be eligible to collect Social Security before?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yes, wow, like rise back.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's just like when they.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Put Morbius back in theaters for the second time because
of that meme was going around and they thought, oh
we just you know, it's popular now, we could run
it back and it's still bombed.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah. Great.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I thought you were going to kind of just go
into that that one two three year reigns, but you
went all full Lebron James on me.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, you know, it's hard to see, it's hard to
see the good times coming, but you know they have
looked better under their new new manager, Warren Chafers.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
So well, you know what, You're absolutely right, even though
the series against the.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Astros, honest team in baseball right now, hot a team.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Now you have to look at some of the games
Games one, in Game two and say, well, the Rockies
put up a good fight. And I know some some
Rockies fans of screaming at me right now saying good fight.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The hell with a good fight. We want to w
we want to win.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But you know what, Baby steps this move firing Bud Black,
which I didn't really like. I understand the organization doing it,
and they made some changes in the organization as far
as player development.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This could be the I guess the speed bump that.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Potentially gets them to and that them being the Rockies
to where they.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Need to get to three years of speed bumps. You know,
maybe maybe it's this is the turnaround Walker Momford in charge. Yes,
some fresh blood.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
And then maybe and maybe Ben can say we more
than they more often.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Let's hope at least like fifty percent of the time.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yes, a winning record would be nice.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm not even asking for winning just five hundred.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah, five hundred baby stuffs right, it's baby stas.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
There's no shot they get to eighty wins this year.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Next year. Yes, it's the beautiful part about baseball. There's
a new game that maybe maybe next year.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
A phrase commonly heard right here five six six nine
zero is the text line A lot going on. We
get the text lines says uh, sorry, the bill is
going to hurt you with sports betting. I hope they
changed it, but I don't think they did.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They did not.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The budget bill that was passed today is going to
absolutely just destroy high end sports betters because even your
wins and your losses, you're still going to get taxed
on the losses, which is absurd. So this bill, which
is a giant dumpster fire to begin with. Unless you,
I mean, if you make less than a hundred thousand
dollars a year, you're you just screwed yourself to give
(05:26):
millionaires tax breaks.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I mean, thanks, I appreciate it, but I didn't need it.
How do you how do you get taxed on money
you because.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
The deductions used to be able to deduct. Now you
can only deduct a certain percentage of the losses. It's
it's it's just it's stupid. This anyway, I don't even
to get into it because it's going to make me mad.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
This is a way to prevent people from making large wages.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I mean, it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It's just all it ends up doing is you just
can't deduct your losses the way you used to anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Just takes a bite out of people who gambles.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I think maybe we could be monar business offshore more
worried about other aspects of the bill than.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
There's plenty of them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But I'm just saying, like the total extra bit, I'm
in the income brackets and benefits from a lot of
this stuff, like I like, you know, like it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
But once again, I mean sometime was terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I haven't dug into this bill, but it just seems though,
I mean even we know that you make a lot
of wages, so therefore you would not be able to
write off your wages and your losses right as though
you once work crisis, which all that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Just means is I won't use you know, a local
sports I'll just go I'll just do it off short
book now and they won't be able to tax it
at all.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Problem text one counter gambler. They had a problem when
you're win yes, and see that's the thing. That's how
gambling keeps you on the hook.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
You went here and there, you think you know what man, oh, man,
I just hit my stride, let me double down, and
the next thing you know, you that guy sitting in
the rats is with your face in your hands, like
I just blew my my mortgage in my kids college front.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I'm the kids, so I mean, of course college fund telling.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You obviously you know you don't have any kids, you
don't love love, so that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Wasn't for you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):

I think six years ago today. That's how where I
came over here from Koa. I don't know you were

that still survived well fined.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yes, I was on the station that survill I was
with the point of.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
This was to lead in to a conversation about how
we all got here. Since fourth of July weekend, I
figured we'd have a more fun relext show.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
How did you? How did you get started to hear
it because you were already here. I think what I
got here?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah, I was interning on the last intern at KOA
on the Mandy Connell Show. He was the last inn
and then got on my full first time producer role
on Logan and Lewis with Dave and Rick and Kathy Lee.
That was a blast until that show got canceled, and
then kind of went all over the place after that
and then ended up finally getting the sports shows, which
(07:54):
has been a blessing.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And now you're going to be doing Take It for
Granted tomorrow during the fourth of July weekend. We actually

Speaker 7 (19:36):
If you're going to do the TV show with us,
make sure you know you show a little.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Sum Yeah, I'll have background answer pants on, maybe a
little bar Miderf'll see.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Yes, Hey yeah, Nick, Nick and I are going to
do a benefit for USA Pickleball down in Colorado Springs
next week. Nice with Jake Plumber and for the kids
at the YMCA down there.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, that's going to be a great thing once again.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I know playing with Jake, I mean, he was a
big handball guy and now this whole pick a ball
thing is taking things to a different level. Speaking of which, like,
I know you're a very athletic guy. And if you
had to choose out of all the people here at
Kowa to team up with and have them be your
(20:22):
pick a.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Ball partner, who would that person be? And why?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Oh okay, hold the second Rick Ben has uh decided
to raise his hand and volunteer. And I don't know
if you want to pick Ben, but Ben is already
volunteer himself.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
But I would play.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
My first choice would be Dave Logan, but I'm not
sure if I'm not sure how Dave's moving around these days,
I mean, obviously young Dave Logan would be the first choice.
After that, Who Susie Watson, Susie Susan. Maybe you know
(20:59):
what I'm gonna go with Ben, Skinny Ben. With Skinny Ben,
Ben was the wow in tennis at high school. I mean,
I have played racket sports before.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
How many moons ago? Was that many?
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Many?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Exactly?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Many moons ago for all of us?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Okay, got Grant wasn't even born yet.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
No, I go with Skinny Ben. Ben's an athlete. You know,
his body's broken down a bit, just like the rest
of us. But I would say outside of Dave Logan,
he'd be my number one choice.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
There we go. See, look at that I have a believer, Nick,
they believe in me.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So that mean that you have become really effective at
kind of lines or Rick Lewis.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I will go play some pick a ball. I will
absolutely do this. I've never played, and I want to.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I've never played it either, Nick.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Have you played?
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You know what one time I did?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I happened to play living in Los Angeles. That's kind
of when I was first introduced to it. And once again,
it's a great activity if you want to stay active,
which I encourage everyone to do, to have an active
lifestyle and it's kind of a low impact type of sport.
Now here's the thing, Rick, here is the thing that
I want everyone about. Now. It looks like tennis and
(22:10):
table tennis, but depending on who you're playing, it can
get real spirited and you can kind of lose yourself.
And I'm known a couple of people to rupture Achilles
because they were out there doing too much.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
I was thinking, Achilles. You know, if I went out
there and did it with my luck, I'd blow my
achilles up, probably after the first volley.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Then you'd be rushing me to the emergency room and
you have the event.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
So you guys like actually playing well, Bacon is kind
of like like teaching this. Rick is MCing Okay, I'm
just there for more support. I thought you guys were playing.
I was gonna drive down and bring the cam quarder
like we were gonna be We're gonna take this.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I'm not getting out there.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
No, No, don't imagine some like fourteen year old kids
just smashing the ball in your face.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Nah.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Yeah, humiliating, especially for a former professional, world class athlete
like Nick Ferguson Jake Plumber can play.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Jay can play.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I was thinking Rick that you would be the person
to get out there for Jake and I just kind
of represent for the crew.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Get out here and do what I mean. You've got
that hype to you. Yeah, you could probably smash the ball.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Just don't expect me to move around too much laterally.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, put it right there at the net. I can
stand there all day and hit.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
The wall back. I just I'm just not going to
be running around too much laterally. I've got a fake hip.
Did I tell you that?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah, do you have to?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, so this is a weird question. But do you
have the ceramic or the titanium?
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Uh minus cobalt?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, colt like materials? Well I found this out. Yeah,
ceramic is like though, the one that lasts the longest.
But it can squeak.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, mine doesn't squeak.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Steve Carrell got the got the ceramic hip and his
squeaks apparently.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, you know, there's so many things places I can
go with the squeaking hip that I just I don't
want to.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I found this south today. Steve Carell has a fake hip.
It's ceramic and it squeaks like what walks sometimes Well.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You know what Rick with Ford July, there's you know,
right around the corner. I just have to ask you,
are you one of those guys who are so adventurous
that you want to get involved and be really hands
on with i'll call them pyrotechnics.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yes, I've done my share of that.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
And this is a true story. In high school, friend
of mine actually blew an eye out with a with
a firecracker actually actually was like a cherry bomb or
M eight blew his eye out. And that definitely gets
your attention at a very young age, like, hey, you know,
this is pretty serious business and I'm gonna throw that
out there too to everybody listening. You know, it's a
(24:49):
lot of fun, but make sure you keep it safe
because every every year there's accidents, uh, fires and people
blowing off fingers and and blowing their eyes out. And
who was the football player and.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Pierre Paul he some fingers off and now he's Jason
Pierre Paul.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Yeah, So seriously, yes, everybody enjoys doing that type of thing.
I used to do some pretty crazy things with M. E.
D's in my teenage years that we won't talk about
on the radio, but the adult me, I'm much more safe,
and I try to keep it safe for the kids.
How about you, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh, I was an idiot my youth. We used to
run around having a bottle rocket Roman candle wars. I
remember one time I had the.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Bottle rockets tuck back in the back pocket of my
jeans and somebody popped me right on the left cheek
with a Roman candle and it shot all the bottle
rockets up the back.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Of my shirt.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Looked like somebody hitting with a machine gun on the
way down.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna come clean with you guys.
The favorite thing I did this is probably ninth grade,
is dropping might in a ball washer course Oh yeah,
oh yeah, yeah. You put it in the light. It
put it in the ball washer stuff it jam it
down in the run. Yeah, because that thing's gonna blow.
(26:03):
I don't recommend your kids.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, yeah, please don't follow Rick Lewis's lead.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
That was really dumb.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
I did a lot of dumb stuff as a teenage.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
We used to make uh, we used to make those
pressure bombs. You take a bunch of sparklers and you
leave one extended like a wick and you wrap it
a real tight and duct tape, layers of duct tape,
and the heat and the pressure is so it lived
it wi was the loudest explosion you've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Windows didn't have anything to occupy his time was doing.
We left directly from that to no councept.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Oh boy, Ricky, when's the what's the show down to
Parker again?
Speaker 7 (26:38):
July nineteenth? That's a Saturday night and then uh, the
friday before on the eighteenth, were on Channel nine between
ten and eleven. In fact, I'm gonna co host that
show as well. Uh, and the band's gonna perform as well.
So that's gonna be a fun weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, it sounds like a lot of fun. We always
enjoy talking.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Do you have a safe weekend, brother, and look forward
seeing and you get back.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Yeah, Happy forth, guys and Nick, I'll see you next week.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
See next week, all right? Brother? Rick Lewis Colorados the
never broncos.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Hey, that that has to be that south has to
be so deep that we've never seen it. It's no
place on the map that it doesn't even really exist.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It doesn't exist. Yes, it's I mean deep South. It
is like the Cotton States. Basically, if you cotton, it's
part of the Deep South.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Like that's really I mean, wait, there's some parts of Florida.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Parts of Florida are Deep South that grew cotton. Yeah,
technically parts of the parts of Texas. Even though Texas
is part of the Deep South.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Look, man, no matter how you try to dance your
way around, it's technically Florida is the southern point of
these United States.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Is the Texas. I mean you look at the map,
you see Texas. You look over guess what.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, but there's parts of East Texas that that some
people classify deep South. Obviously Losiana, Arkansas, miss to be, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, uh,
North Carolina a little bit like the bottom part in
North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And then the upper part of Florida. And that's that's
what you considered each other. Well, we called it the
Gunshine State. That's what we call it. That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, No, I mean it's just that I still can't
believe you guys haven't heard it, like Chaso and your
chicken stress.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Some I've heard of Chaso, but I've never heard it
with uh, you know, the way that you put it together.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm just saying like it was a thing like it
was it was. This is not a me thing and
it wasn't even my family like it.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Once again, wherever this deep South is, Grant is must
be so deep rooted we can't even find it on
the map.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I mean, you can google it and there's tons of
recipes for it. I'm thinking Google.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
By the way, I showed Grant the sparkler bombs. They
showed Grant and the sparkler bomb in the break You
blow up houses with that.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Thing, you can.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
We were out in rural areas doing this stuff, and
we would blow the windows out of you know, like
the sound wave would would blow the windows out of thing.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
It's set off Carl Arms. I mean, it's for disclosure.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Until you showed that to me, I didn't think it
was possible because when you think about what a sparkler huh,
it's one of the least favorite of the fire fireworks.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
These are the things that you give to like maybe
six year old kids.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
So you're gonna tell me that you don't have no
black cats, no Roman candles or screaming mamies. No, oh,
come on, man, you don't got no lady fingers, buzz butterles,
snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, cutbusters if he do
dies or crab flappers.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
No, I don't.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
You're gonna stand there owning a fireworks stand and tell
me you don't have no whistling bung holes, no spleen splitters,
whisker biscuits, honkey riders, whos produced whisker don'ts cherry bombs,
Nips and dazers with or without the scooter sticks are
one single whistling kiddy chaser.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Because snakes and sparklers are the only.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Ones I like.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
What that might be problem, it's not what you like.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's the consumer.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Joe Dirt, classic whiskerdos, whistled kitty changers, with or without
the scooter stick.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
That's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Okay, So when I was a real quick foightth break
and I was in i Raq, we were at the
end of the supply line out there on the Syrian border,
so we got the leftovers nobody else wanted. And so
when they said, like somebody, uh these family support groups
would buy box of DVDs and send the movies out.
We'll they be picked through by the time they gods.
So we had three movies at the end of the
line out there at all Side. One of them was
Joe Dirt. We had a second Matrix movie Finding Nemo
(30:49):
and Joe Dirt. And I promise you I could quote
that entire movie from memory. We watched it so many times.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
That's a classics, Absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Oh, come back, we'll start getting some sports talking. We
will talk a little bit about his rumors about Valencia
and us wanted to play in Europe. Ran Blackbird's going
to join us for the next hour. He's sitting the
Broncos country night here.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Okay, way
Five six sixty nine zero is the text line which
is still popping from Uh, I guess the last show
where it was KWI sports slash haters Country. Today, we're
happy to pick up that mattel and run with it.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
A lot going on today, man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
We Uh we got to twenty wins, guys, the Rockies,
twenty wins on the season.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's the dead of July, but we got there.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's funny that then you said, in a matter of
I don't know, thirty seconds, we we you said we.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I'm hitting it as about as well as anyone on
the team.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
It's only we when we win.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That that is that. I don't want the stench of
that on me. Yeah, put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, that says so much about the personality of one
Benjaminal Bright. As long as the team is winning, you know,
it's it's a we.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
When it's not it's them or yeah them over there,
they're not winning twenty and sixty seven. What would you
just sell? But they just won.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They got the twenty wins just the time for fourth
of July weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
This should be somewhat of a kind of like uh
fireworks show right after the game would or not?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
There used to be when I lived across the street
and the fireworks would go off.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
The show, I would like to think, because right now
you're the only game in town and it is fourth
of July. Uh, there would be some some fireworks or
some sort. But there were fireworks today. The Rockies, you know,
won the game. Yes, it's only the twentieth win, but
you gotta celebrate something, right, right, Grant right?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Do you gotta spend.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Our Fireworksmorrow and Saturday after the game?
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I am very observant, and I am noticing, unless I
can't really see through the haze of the glass, you're
not wearing anything Rockies related.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
No, which means that's why they won. It's like the
ops of last year.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Okay, it's so it's like bizago world right now or.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
On the upside down.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, So from here from here on out, let's test this.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let's that's this theory.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Don't wear anything Rocky related for the next six games,
and let's see what happens.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Easily done, Okay, done?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I can't will not wear anything Rockies related, and
not just because I don't own anything Rockies related Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah, and people will quit asking me, wow, you're still
wearing Rockies gear after this.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
He's he's a riding ship all the way down.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, yes, but it.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Don't be that much sweeter when it rises back to
the top.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
No, that's the thing. When would the cream rise to
the top?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Grant? When should fans expect that to happen? Never give it?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Four or five, ten, fifteen, twenty?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Damn? What will I be eligible to collect Social Security before?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yes, wow, like rise back.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's just like when they.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Put Morbius back in theaters for the second time because
of that meme was going around and they thought, oh
we just you know, it's popular now, we could run
it back and it's still bombed.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah. Great.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I thought you were going to kind of just go
into that that one two three year reigns, but you
went all full Lebron James on me.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, you know, it's hard to see, it's hard to
see the good times coming, but you know they have
looked better under their new new manager, Warren Chafers.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
So well, you know what, You're absolutely right, even though
the series against the.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Astros, honest team in baseball right now, hot a team.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Now you have to look at some of the games
Games one, in Game two and say, well, the Rockies
put up a good fight. And I know some some
Rockies fans of screaming at me right now saying good fight.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The hell with a good fight. We want to w
we want to win.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But you know what, Baby steps this move firing Bud Black,
which I didn't really like. I understand the organization doing it,
and they made some changes in the organization as far
as player development.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This could be the I guess the speed bump that.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Potentially gets them to and that them being the Rockies
to where they.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Need to get to three years of speed bumps. You know,
maybe maybe it's this is the turnaround Walker Momford in charge. Yes,
some fresh blood.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
And then maybe and maybe Ben can say we more
than they more often.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Let's hope at least like fifty percent of the time.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yes, a winning record would be nice.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm not even asking for winning just five hundred.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah, five hundred baby stuffs right, it's baby stas.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
There's no shot they get to eighty wins this year.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Next year. Yes, it's the beautiful part about baseball. There's
a new game that maybe maybe next year.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
A phrase commonly heard right here five six six nine
zero is the text line A lot going on. We
get the text lines says uh, sorry, the bill is
going to hurt you with sports betting. I hope they
changed it, but I don't think they did.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They did not.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The budget bill that was passed today is going to
absolutely just destroy high end sports betters because even your
wins and your losses, you're still going to get taxed
on the losses, which is absurd. So this bill, which
is a giant dumpster fire to begin with. Unless you,
I mean, if you make less than a hundred thousand
dollars a year, you're you just screwed yourself to give
(05:26):
millionaires tax breaks.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I mean, thanks, I appreciate it, but I didn't need it.
How do you how do you get taxed on money
you because.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
The deductions used to be able to deduct. Now you
can only deduct a certain percentage of the losses. It's
it's it's just it's stupid. This anyway, I don't even
to get into it because it's going to make me mad.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
This is a way to prevent people from making large wages.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I mean, it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It's just all it ends up doing is you just
can't deduct your losses the way you used to anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Just takes a bite out of people who gambles.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I think maybe we could be monar business offshore more
worried about other aspects of the bill than.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
There's plenty of them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But I'm just saying, like the total extra bit, I'm
in the income brackets and benefits from a lot of
this stuff, like I like, you know, like it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
But once again, I mean sometime was terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I haven't dug into this bill, but it just seems though,
I mean even we know that you make a lot
of wages, so therefore you would not be able to
write off your wages and your losses right as though
you once work crisis, which all that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Just means is I won't use you know, a local
sports I'll just go I'll just do it off short
book now and they won't be able to tax it
at all.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Problem text one counter gambler. They had a problem when
you're win yes, and see that's the thing. That's how
gambling keeps you on the hook.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
You went here and there, you think you know what man, oh, man,
I just hit my stride, let me double down, and
the next thing you know, you that guy sitting in
the rats is with your face in your hands, like
I just blew my my mortgage in my kids college front.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I'm the kids, so I mean, of course college fund telling.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
You obviously you know you don't have any kids, you
don't love love, so that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Wasn't for you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Uh, sodil was seven sixty What last air date was was?
I think six years ago today. That's how where I
came over here from Koa. I don't know you were
You weren't running were you're going?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
No, I was here, but I was on the station
that still survived well fined.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yes, I was on the station that survill I was
with the point of.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
This was to lead in to a conversation about how
we all got here. Since fourth of July weekend, I
figured we'd have a more fun relext show.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
How did you? How did you get started to hear
it because you were already here. I think what I
got here?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah, I was interning on the last intern at KOA
on the Mandy Connell Show. He was the last inn
and then got on my full first time producer role
on Logan and Lewis with Dave and Rick and Kathy Lee.
That was a blast until that show got canceled, and
then kind of went all over the place after that
and then ended up finally getting the sports shows, which
(07:54):
has been a blessing.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And now you're going to be doing Take It for
Granted tomorrow during the fourth of July weekend. We actually
get another one.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
And three to five thirty Yes with Susie Wargon leading
in the Broncos season, and then we've got Jack and Jerry.
Speaker 2 (08:10):

Well, you know what, we should let our listeners know
that the multi talentsed Benjamin Albright is now my new
drum Tech and it did a great job. He did
introduce the band as well. But the drum tech thing,
I mean, who knew.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Some people are saying it was the greatest drum teching
night in drum teching history.

The drum sounded fabulous And I got to say this too.
Chicks dig skinny Ben.

next week. Nice with Jake Plumber and for the kids
at the YMCA down there.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, that's going to be a great thing once again.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I know playing with Jake, I mean, he was a
big handball guy and now this whole pick a ball
thing is taking things to a different level. Speaking of which, like,
I know you're a very athletic guy. And if you
had to choose out of all the people here at
Kowa to team up with and have them be your
(20:22):
pick a.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Ball partner, who would that person be? And why?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Oh okay, hold the second Rick Ben has uh decided
to raise his hand and volunteer. And I don't know
if you want to pick Ben, but Ben is already
volunteer himself.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
But I would play.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
My first choice would be Dave Logan, but I'm not
sure if I'm not sure how Dave's moving around these days,
I mean, obviously young Dave Logan would be the first choice.
After that, Who Susie Watson, Susie Susan. Maybe you know
(20:59):
what I'm gonna go with Ben, Skinny Ben. With Skinny Ben,
Ben was the wow in tennis at high school. I mean,
I have played racket sports before.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
How many moons ago? Was that many?
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Many?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Exactly?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Many moons ago for all of us?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Okay, got Grant wasn't even born yet.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
No, I go with Skinny Ben. Ben's an athlete. You know,
his body's broken down a bit, just like the rest
of us. But I would say outside of Dave Logan,
he'd be my number one choice.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
There we go. See, look at that I have a believer, Nick,
they believe in me.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So that mean that you have become really effective at
kind of lines or Rick Lewis.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I will go play some pick a ball. I will
absolutely do this. I've never played, and I want to.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I've never played it either, Nick.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Have you played?
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You know what one time I did?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I happened to play living in Los Angeles. That's kind
of when I was first introduced to it. And once again,
it's a great activity if you want to stay active,
which I encourage everyone to do, to have an active
lifestyle and it's kind of a low impact type of sport.
Now here's the thing, Rick, here is the thing that
I want everyone about. Now. It looks like tennis and
(22:10):
table tennis, but depending on who you're playing, it can
get real spirited and you can kind of lose yourself.
And I'm known a couple of people to rupture Achilles
because they were out there doing too much.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
I was thinking, Achilles. You know, if I went out
there and did it with my luck, I'd blow my
achilles up, probably after the first volley.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Then you'd be rushing me to the emergency room and
you have the event.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
So you guys like actually playing well, Bacon is kind
of like like teaching this. Rick is MCing Okay, I'm
just there for more support. I thought you guys were playing.
I was gonna drive down and bring the cam quarder
like we were gonna be We're gonna take this.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I'm not getting out there.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
No, No, don't imagine some like fourteen year old kids
just smashing the ball in your face.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Nah.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Yeah, humiliating, especially for a former professional, world class athlete
like Nick Ferguson Jake Plumber can play.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Jay can play.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I was thinking Rick that you would be the person
to get out there for Jake and I just kind
of represent for the crew.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Get out here and do what I mean. You've got
that hype to you. Yeah, you could probably smash the ball.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Just don't expect me to move around too much laterally.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, put it right there at the net. I can
stand there all day and hit.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
The wall back. I just I'm just not going to
be running around too much laterally. I've got a fake hip.
Did I tell you that?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah, do you have to?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, so this is a weird question. But do you
have the ceramic or the titanium?
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Uh minus cobalt?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, colt like materials? Well I found this out. Yeah,
ceramic is like though, the one that lasts the longest.
But it can squeak.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, mine doesn't squeak.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Steve Carrell got the got the ceramic hip and his
squeaks apparently.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, you know, there's so many things places I can
go with the squeaking hip that I just I don't
want to.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I found this south today. Steve Carell has a fake hip.
It's ceramic and it squeaks like what walks sometimes Well.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You know what Rick with Ford July, there's you know,
right around the corner. I just have to ask you,
are you one of those guys who are so adventurous
that you want to get involved and be really hands
on with i'll call them pyrotechnics.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yes, I've done my share of that.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
And this is a true story. In high school, friend
of mine actually blew an eye out with a with
a firecracker actually actually was like a cherry bomb or
M eight blew his eye out. And that definitely gets
your attention at a very young age, like, hey, you know,
this is pretty serious business and I'm gonna throw that
out there too to everybody listening. You know, it's a
(24:49):
lot of fun, but make sure you keep it safe
because every every year there's accidents, uh, fires and people
blowing off fingers and and blowing their eyes out. And
who was the football player and.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Pierre Paul he some fingers off and now he's Jason
Pierre Paul.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Yeah, So seriously, yes, everybody enjoys doing that type of thing.
I used to do some pretty crazy things with M. E.
D's in my teenage years that we won't talk about
on the radio, but the adult me, I'm much more safe,
and I try to keep it safe for the kids.
How about you, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh, I was an idiot my youth. We used to
run around having a bottle rocket Roman candle wars. I
remember one time I had the.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Bottle rockets tuck back in the back pocket of my
jeans and somebody popped me right on the left cheek
with a Roman candle and it shot all the bottle
rockets up the back.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Of my shirt.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Looked like somebody hitting with a machine gun on the
way down.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna come clean with you guys.
The favorite thing I did this is probably ninth grade,
is dropping might in a ball washer course Oh yeah,
oh yeah, yeah. You put it in the light. It
put it in the ball washer stuff it jam it
down in the run. Yeah, because that thing's gonna blow.
(26:03):
I don't recommend your kids.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, yeah, please don't follow Rick Lewis's lead.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
That was really dumb.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
I did a lot of dumb stuff as a teenage.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
We used to make uh, we used to make those
pressure bombs. You take a bunch of sparklers and you
leave one extended like a wick and you wrap it
a real tight and duct tape, layers of duct tape,
and the heat and the pressure is so it lived
it wi was the loudest explosion you've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Windows didn't have anything to occupy his time was doing.
We left directly from that to no councept.
Speaker 1 (26:34):

never broncos.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Hey, that that has to be that south has to
be so deep that we've never seen it. It's no
place on the map that it doesn't even really exist.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It doesn't exist. Yes, it's I mean deep South. It
is like the Cotton States. Basically, if you cotton, it's
part of the Deep South.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Like that's really I mean, wait, there's some parts of Florida.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Parts of Florida are Deep South that grew cotton. Yeah,
technically parts of the parts of Texas. Even though Texas
is part of the Deep South.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Look, man, no matter how you try to dance your
way around, it's technically Florida is the southern point of
these United States.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Is the Texas. I mean you look at the map,
you see Texas. You look over guess what.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, but there's parts of East Texas that that some
people classify deep South. Obviously Losiana, Arkansas, miss to be, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, uh,
North Carolina a little bit like the bottom part in
North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (28:10):

believe you guys haven't heard it, like Chaso and your
chicken stress.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Some I've heard of Chaso, but I've never heard it
with uh, you know, the way that you put it together.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm just saying like it was a thing like it
was it was. This is not a me thing and
it wasn't even my family like it.

be so deep rooted we can't even find it on
the map.

recipes for it. I'm thinking Google.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
By the way, I showed Grant the sparkler bombs. They
showed Grant and the sparkler bomb in the break You

It's set off Carl Arms. I mean, it's for disclosure.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Until you showed that to me, I didn't think it
was possible because when you think about what a sparkler huh,
it's one of the least favorite of the fire fireworks.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
These are the things that you give to like maybe
six year old kids.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
So you're gonna tell me that you don't have no
black cats, no Roman candles or screaming mamies. No, oh,

snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, cutbusters if he do
dies or crab flappers.

whisker biscuits, honkey riders, whos produced whisker don'ts cherry bombs,
Nips and dazers with or without the scooter sticks are
one single whistling kiddy chaser.
