Speaker 1 (00:04):
Twice, still speaking that that should not have made it
to the rest of us. This is inside thoughts.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Check check check. Welcome back to inside Thoughts. Appreciate you
hitting the play button. Did you miss me? Took my
little uh two months summer break in spring because I
am ahead of the curve, but I'm ahead of the trends.
You guys are about to do summer break. I already
did it. I got it out of the way, man,
I hope you're doing good. Yeah, a lot of stuff's
(00:39):
been going on. Took some trips, uh me and names
went down to or Window, did Universal and Disney. I'll
tell you about that one later, but like first, I
got we gotta talk about the NBA. Man. The NBA
has lost its mind. It's not even trying to act
like it's not fixed anymore. For a long time twenty
(01:01):
what's it been like twenty five twenty four years people
have been saying the NBA is rigged, or at least
in my lifetime when I've been paying attention to it.
Because of the Lakers Kings Western Conference Finals, the refs
just gave that to the Lakers, right, and then people
were like, I don't know, that was pretty suspect. And
(01:23):
then Tim donaghe was the referee that got caught gambling
on games, and they're like, oh, he's the only one.
He's the only one. We got him. There's no more
bad refereeing. Then there was that one guy, well I
wasn't Tony Brothers. Who is the referee? I forget what
(01:43):
the ref's name was, but he uh, he had to
retire because they found out that he was basically like
a Celtics fan and every time the Celtics played a
game that he refereed in it was just like something
crazy like that. And then they were starting to look
into him and he was like, oh, you know what,
(02:05):
I've been been doing this for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Died.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I took all retire, took all retire. It's like, oh yeah,
the coincidences and like you know, every once in a while,
the NBA could skirt around and be like no, no, no, hey,
coincidences happened. We're not we're not fixing this league. And
then the NBA lottery happened last night, and it's just
like you can't you can't act like it's not fixed anymore.
(02:33):
The Dallas Mavericks got the number one overall pick in
the draft lottery with a one point eight percent chance
to get the first pick, one point eight percent chance,
and they got it. It's pretty, uh, pretty convenient that
they got that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They get a new franchise player after the weirdest trade ever.
If if you remember Luka Doncic there, you know, star
player just got traded in the middle of the night,
didn't you know? The Mavericks said, oh, we're done with them.
He's fat, we don't want him anymore. And they didn't
(03:14):
like field offers from anybody. They're just like, yeah, we
think the Lakers need him. Yeah, we need to get
a new superstar in La because uh, Lebron's gonna be
eating up all the cap room for the next couple
of years and then he's gonna retire and there's really
nobody that we're gonna be able to get in the interim,
(03:35):
and we don't want to have the Wakers suck. So yeah,
take Fatty mc Eastern European over to the Lakers for
Anthony Davis and a hot dog, and that seems right,
and everybody's like, what's going on? This is crazy? And
then well and behold, they get the first pick in
the draft, and it was crazy because the whole time
(03:58):
the general manager, Nico Harrison, the general manager for the
Dallas Mavericks, he made that trade and he's like, it's
good trade. We gotta see what happens. I think you know,
Time will Tell didn't once look like scared that he
was gonna lose his job, and he was just taking it.
He was going to all the games and they're like,
fire Nico. He was getting death threats from fans, which
(04:21):
is crazy, you shouldn't do that. But also like he
was just he was walking around like bulletproof, didn't care.
He was like, yeah, Time will Tell. I think it
was the right decision for a team, and yeah, I
think we're good. No, I think you guys are gonna
be wrong. And everybody was like, this guy's insane. And
(04:42):
then they get the number one overall pick. You're trying
to tell me that some handshake deal didn't happen. Adam
Silver saw what was going on. He was like, hey,
Celtics are real good right now. Maybe the Lakers can
make it to the finals. Even if they don't, we
still need, you know, the way Akers to be good.
Pair somebody with Lebron ratings are down, get Wuke out
(05:04):
of Dallas, and then you know what, I'll make sure
you get the number one pick. Nico was like, yeah, sure,
I'll do that. It's crazy. The NBA is out of control.
They one hundred percent gave Dallas the first round picking
the lottery. They just announced Michael Jordan's going to be
an NBC analyst next season, giving out his parlays of
(05:26):
the day sponsored by fan Duel, which, by the way,
I'm whatever Michael Jordan says, I'm one hundred percent following
what he's doing. Like, the NBA is was acting so
crazy the past day that Major League Baseball kind of
looked at themselves in the mirror and like, hey, maybe
we've been kind of being hard asses, you know what
(05:47):
I mean. Hey, Pete Rose shoeless Joe Jackson, Yeah, you
can be eligible to get voted into the Hall of Fame. Now,
we don't care about all that gambling stuff. Like that's
how crazy got MLB announced today Pete Rose shoe was
Joe Jackson. Shoe was Joe fixed the nineteen nineteen Black
(06:08):
Sox World Series. You know, got into some trouble with
some mobsters. He couldn't read. They're like Hey, Joe, go
up there and miss Hey Joey. Hey Shoe is Joey Badge?
Come here?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You gonna You're gonna play like shit today? Okay, oh coy, Yeah,
just shine right here. Hey Joey, you can't write your name?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What is this? You just put an X down? Oh?
I don't know. I don't know how to read or right.
I just know how to play baseball. I'm like, yeah, okay, Joe,
just go up there and suck. He hated himself, but
they said he couldn't get into the Hall of Fame
because he, you know, he shaved points, fixed games. Pete
Rose bet on baseball, one of the best hitters of
(06:51):
all time. They're like, hey, Pete, yeah, you can't. He
can't be in the Hall of Fame, even like when
he died. There still like no, even when like FanDuel
and DraftKings and bet MGM and all this, all these
gambling places were like sponsoring MLB games.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It's the World Series on Fox, brought to you by DraftKings.
Pete Rose isn't allowed in, though he would have loved DraftKings.
The hypocrisy didn't hit them until they saw what Adam
Silver was doing in the NBA, and they were like, oh,
you know what, Yeah, maybe we were being dicks, all right,
Pete Rose, she was Joe.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You' alln't go in now. Good for their families, I guess,
I mean she was Joe's been dead. Pete Rose just
died a few years ago, right, I forget when he died.
He might have died this year. Kind of kind of
a dick move to not let them. I mean, she
was Joe. You know, he probably died like a hundred
years ago. But kind of a dick move for them
(07:53):
to not like have Pete Rose get to see himself
get inducted in the Hall of Fame, you know what
I mean. I'd have him on as an analyst for
MLB network. But he's still he couldn't be a Hall
of Famer. And he just had to watch all those
DraftKings and fan duel ads. He's like, hey, in this
what I got kicked out for. Then the NBA was
(08:13):
just like, yeah, well, we'll show you how much we
don't give a fuck what people think of this sport.
We're just gonna fix it. We're just gonna fix it.
It's out of control, it's out of control. But I'm
glad that, you know, at least through all this insanity
that Adam Silver just did with the NBA, the MLB
(08:34):
get to look at themselves in the mirror and be like,
all right, what's what's got Pete and old Shoe was
Joe old X marks the spot back back into the
Hall of Fame. So good for them, Good for them. Man,
Oh I feel good though, I aside from that craziness,
you know, like I was saying earlier, me and Me
(08:55):
and Ames went down to Orlando, took a vacation. She
needed one from work. I was just like, yeah, you know,
I got nothing to do, Let's go down to or
Window And we went to uh we went to Universal
and I hadn't been there in twenty years, so like
it was super cool. Like, you know, they they've obviously
(09:17):
put some new rides in there, which if you haven't
been down to Universal in a while, like go check
out the Harry Potter stuff. It's awesome. But they also
like they kept some of the old rides, like Spider Man,
the whole Jurassic Park. I rode that Jurassic Park River
Adventure that was my favorite ride when I was a kid.
I read it or I wrote it like five times,
(09:40):
and Amy didn't like it because she was like, oh,
I don't want to get wet. I'm like, you're not
gonna get wet. We'll sit in the second or third row.
You don't. You don't really get wet. It's a nice
it's a nice ride. It's the longest ride in the park.
You know, when you're standing in line all day, you know,
your feet get tired. It's a nice sit down. It's
a you'll seven minute ride, take a nice little boat ride.
(10:03):
They're like, oh, look at this, that's a stegosaurus. Uh
these are some bronosaurus and uh yeah, and then you
get knocked off course and you go to the raptor
enclosure and then obviously you you know, go to the
t Rex. It's just it's a cool ride. It's the
best ride in Universal. Hope they keep it. But like
(10:25):
after the first time, Ames was like, I'm not riding
it anymore. And I was like, come on, Like there
was no wait for this thing. It was like five minutes.
So I was like, come on, we just keep riding it.
Come on. She's like, no, I'm not going. So I
was riding it by myself and riding a kid's ride
as an adult, very uncomfortable thing, because that's what it is.
It's a it's a kid's ride, you know what I
(10:46):
mean there, it's a family ride. And when you're there,
you know, by yourself, people start looking at you weird, like, okay,
is he special or is he dangerous? And I had,
you know, my mustache was growing a little bit, it
was protruding out of my beard a little bit and
looking at me like, oh, okay, he's a predator. I'm
not worried about this t Rex. I'm worried about that
guy sitting next to my kids. I'm just saying it
(11:06):
got uncomfortable. That's why I hate pedophiles. Man. They can't
like they got to do that and be the terrible
human beings pieces of shit that they are. So now
I get weird looks when I want to ride Jurassic
Park by myself because my girlfriend don't want to get wet.
Except the people I was sitting next to on one
(11:28):
of the rides, they definitely they didn't think I was
a pedophile. They definitely thought I was special because I
was sitting there by myself, just with a big old
shit eating grin on my face. And Amy like was
in the you know, the the viewing section where like,
you know, you come down after the t Rex almost
(11:49):
get you and you go down the slide, and she
was like taking a video or trying to take a
picture of me, and she timed it up to where
she could see me so she could get a video.
We came down and I like turn to look at
her and just like did a big Tom Hanks and
Forrest Gump wave when he sees Lieutenant Dan on the dock.
Lieutenant Dian I got one of those, and like the
(12:12):
look of relief on this mom's face. I was sitting
next to a single mom and her two kids, and
the whole time she's like, you know, trying to enjoy
it with her kids, but she's also looking at me,
like this guy's by himself. He looks like he's in
his thirties, he's got a mustache. She's this guy gonna
touch my kids. And then as soon as she saw
me do that big Lieutenant Diane waves, she was like, Okay, good,
(12:33):
he's just retarded. But I had a good time, man,
I had a good time. It was fun. The funniest
part about Universal though, like it was one of the things,
because like you go to amusement parks and you're just
you're around everybody, you know what I mean. Like, I
don't know, I don't think I saw too many smart
(12:55):
people there, but I definitely saw some dumb people there.
Like I was there, you know, I'm stupid, so I
was having a good time. But there are people dumber
than me, you know, as hard as that is the fathom,
there are people that are dumber than me at these
amusement parks. And me and Ames were we were in
line for the Men in Black ride, and we were
(13:17):
like at the front of the line, and you have
to wait to go into this door, and then when
you go in the door, it puts you in like
this room before you actually walk in to go into
the ride, and it does like this fake kind of
you know, eighth grade science class thing like the universe
(13:39):
and you on this journey, We're going to explore all
the stars of the Solar System, and then it kind
of like fades out. Seven seconds, it fades out and
goes all right, enough of that, it's time for your
MiB training. Get in there. We're looking for the best
of the best of the best, sir. All that stuff.
So we're waiting in the line. We're at the front
waiting to go into this room, and these people, these rednecks,
(14:02):
walked out and they're like, that's not a ride and
some kind of informational shit, and Amy turned around and
was like, uh no, it's a ride. She goes, no,
they're talking about the universe. I don't want to learn nothing,
and she's like, no, you just gotta wait, and then
it lets you in the ride and they're like, oh,
that's stupid. It was like the mom, the daughter, and
(14:24):
the grandma, you know, just looking like all they do
is drink mountain dew for breakfast. And we get in
there and we're cracking up because we were like, no
way that these people left that ride. Because of that reason,
we get in there, we're like counting down to see
how long the informational, the fake informational part of this
ride takes. And it's like the universe and you join
(14:46):
us as we explore all the stars of the galaxy.
Seven seconds. So that means that these people were in
there for five seconds and just there was an inkling
of them maybe about the earn something. They're like, fuck that,
we're out of here. I'm not learning shit.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I'm on vacation. Where is my Baha blast? I need
my coat red?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And the best part was like once Amy told these
people that it was an actual ride, like they got confused.
They tried to like jump back in the front of
the line, and we were like no, So then they
got in the back of the line and we were
looking at them the whole time, and they were furious
that they realized that they were that stupid, Like they
(15:33):
were just sitting there the whole time. Like the grandma
was yelling at her daughter. The little kid was happy
regardless she had know what was going on, but like
the mom was the one who was like, I ain't
learning shit, and the grandma was like, I told you
it was the right. It was beautiful to watch, absolutely
beautiful to watch. But there are some interesting people that
(15:53):
you're gonna see at amusement parks. Like Amy was like
almost getting me into fight, and not like actually almost
getting me into fights, but just like she jumped up
the probability of me almost getting into fights like a
little higher than one point eight percent of getting the
first round pick in the NBA lottery, Well it was
probably like fifteen percent chance of I'm gonna have to
(16:16):
fight this family because Amy's staring at him, like, there's
this one lady. We were in one of the new
Harry Potter rides and we saw her outside, and this
lady just had like the biggest hits I've ever seen
in my time. Like she was about five to two.
These things like way too big, like the size of
(16:39):
a small car sitting on each chesticle of hers. It
was crazy. So we see that and we're like, oh,
that's crazy, and then we end up getting in line
behind them at the Harry Potter ride and she had
the bbl butt two like this thing. She was probably
five to two and maybe I don't know, her whole
(17:02):
body went like a foot horizontally, like she was only
a foot long, but her butt, her tits, it was
like Monday to Friday. It was crazy. How big was
so Amy keeps pointing out, I'm like, yeah, I saw,
let's look at you know, what Harry Potter's doing in
gring Goots. And she keeps staring, and she like walked
(17:23):
away from me to go stand right behind this lady
and she was just staring at it, like with her
hand on her chin, like pondering how big this thing
was with her mouth open, and finally, like the lady's
family saw, Like the lady's daughter turned around. She was
older saw and kind of gave Amy, what are you
looking at? Look? And then Amy comes over me, laughing
(17:48):
and she mumbles something to me. I go what, And
right as she's saying, I just got caught looking at
that lady, I look up and make direct eye contact
with the daughter and the son, who are both you know,
in their mid twenties, and the whole family's looking at
me now because they can't hit Amy, but they can
definitely hit me. And I'm not big enough to you know,
(18:09):
think about not hitting you know what I mean, They
could definitely hit me and feel good about themselves. So
I'm like, hey, stop, just quit look look the other way,
look up. So I'm doing I'm doing that. M It's
crazy looking, you know, like when Michael Sarah and uh
super Bad gets caught looking at or not Michael Sarah
Mick Lovin gets caught looking at that girl's throng and
(18:31):
super Bad and he goes, oh, well, that's crazy. The
time is two seventeen. I was doing that because I
was about to get in fights. I was like, hey,
stop looking at weird people. Let's just like focus on
the rise. But for the most part, Universal people are cool.
You know, like you get some rude people, you get
like some really dumb people, but it's fine. And then
(18:53):
we're you know, went to Universal for two days and
we're just gonna chill at the hotel pool, you know,
for the next three days. James was like, I don't know,
I want to go to Disney and we were looking.
We were like, the tickets for Disney are way too expensive.
But when we were checking into the hotel, we go
to the timeshare people. We're like, hey, you guys got
any deals, and they're like, yeah, we'll give you some
free tickets if you go sit through this time share thing.
(19:16):
So we're like, yeah, okay, we got a free day,
let's kill it. So we go sit through this time
shared thing and you know, they're making the pitch and
blah blah blah, and our guy was like our best
friend the whole time. And then like two hours through it,
you know, he's like, all right, so what do you think.
I go no, and he goes oh, and immediately just
(19:36):
all the charm, all the niceness, all the best friend
energy he was giving off was just gone. He's like, oh, okay,
well you're gonna have to talk to somebody from corporate
real quick. They're gonna ask you to fill out the survey.
Blah blah blah. They just kept passing this off to people,
you know, the timeshare stuff, And we get to the
corporate lady who was all like smiles and hey, how
to go blah blah blah. And she was like, so
(19:58):
what do I have to do to get you you
to sign this time share? I'm like nothing, Like she
was like, now, don't just say no, have an open mind.
I'm like, no, it's fine, I don't want. I don't
want the time share. And she was like, well, what
like if you think And I was like, honestly, lady,
I've been here for two and a half hours now
I'm tired. I want to go. Just sign this piece
of paper that says I can go see Mickey Mouse
and let me walk out the door. So we finally
(20:21):
got that. We go to Disney, and Disney people are
so much more insane than Universal people. Like Universal people
for the most part, are cool, but then like you know,
some of the Harry Potter people are kind of like
a little two on edge. You're like, I love but
of beer. You're like, okay, hermione, relax. You know, we're
all here trying to have a good time. And then
(20:44):
you know, you're like these people are crazy. But then
you go to Disney and everybody is the most insane
human being that you have ever met in your entire life.
Like everybody is just I think it's because the tickets
are so high, they're so expensive, Like it's all all
the families, Like my kid is going to have the
most fun, memorable experience of all time and you're not
(21:06):
going to stand in the way of that. I'm like, okay, well, relax,
Like every family is like one bad experience on a
ride from getting a divorce, you know. Like that's the
energy everybody's walking around with. And Disney doesn't help it
because all the rides they like make people crazier in
(21:27):
the lines, Like, you know, you get in a line,
you're standing behind people, the waits like forty five minutes
to an hour. You hate, you hate your wife while
you're sitting there, right, But what they started doing for
all these rides is they'll have you sit in line
for thirty to forty five minutes in the regular line,
like single file, just keep inching up into the line,
(21:48):
and then they'll have you go into this room that's
like a pre ride experience. It's like the prequil to
the ride where no lines exist. So everybody just free
for all that, trying to get ahead of the people
they've been standing behind for six minutes, Like, can we
have some law and order in here? People are like elbowing, pushing, shoving,
(22:09):
kids are crying, and everybody's just gritting their teeth. Like,
if we don't get in front of all these people,
I am calling the lawyer tomorrow. We're getting divorce.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Lady.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I think Disney does that on purpose. Man, I think
they do that on purpose. But all right, I gotta
get out here, gotta go do some stand up work
on some jokes real quick. But I will give you
your headline of the week and then see you next Tuesday.
(22:40):
ESPN's new streaming at will debut, an AI powered sports
center for you feature the AI will taylor coverage to
your preferences and also track teams you've root against. For
twenty nine ninety nine a month, greed has gotten out
of control. We're getting to a tailored sports center that's
(23:02):
only going to talk about the teams you want to
hear about, and focus more on the teams you hate.
Paying thirty bucks a month to be a hater. I
only want to hear about the information that I want
to hear about. I only want to live in the
world that I want to live in. I don't want
to hear any information outside of what I want to know.
There's going to be a whole lot more of those
(23:23):
people jumping out of the men in black line of
I ain't learning shit today. I don't want no information,
just saying Ayi's coming to kill us. All right, glad

(23:46):
Money for money for Go, Money for Go, Money
Twice, still speaking that that should not have made it
to the rest of us. This is inside thoughts.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Check check check. Welcome back to inside Thoughts. Appreciate you
hitting the play button. Did you miss me? Took my
little uh two months summer break in spring because I
am ahead of the curve, but I'm ahead of the trends.
You guys are about to do summer break. I already
did it. I got it out of the way, man,
I hope you're doing good. Yeah, a lot of stuff's
(00:39):
been going on. Took some trips, uh me and names
went down to or Window, did Universal and Disney. I'll
tell you about that one later, but like first, I
got we gotta talk about the NBA. Man. The NBA
has lost its mind. It's not even trying to act
like it's not fixed anymore. For a long time twenty
(01:01):
what's it been like twenty five twenty four years people
have been saying the NBA is rigged, or at least
in my lifetime when I've been paying attention to it.
Because of the Lakers Kings Western Conference Finals, the refs
just gave that to the Lakers, right, and then people
were like, I don't know, that was pretty suspect. And
(01:23):
then Tim donaghe was the referee that got caught gambling
on games, and they're like, oh, he's the only one.
He's the only one. We got him. There's no more
bad refereeing. Then there was that one guy, well I
wasn't Tony Brothers. Who is the referee? I forget what
(01:43):
the ref's name was, but he uh, he had to
retire because they found out that he was basically like
a Celtics fan and every time the Celtics played a
game that he refereed in it was just like something
crazy like that. And then they were starting to look
into him and he was like, oh, you know what,
(02:05):
I've been been doing this for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Died.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I took all retire, took all retire. It's like, oh yeah,
the coincidences and like you know, every once in a while,
the NBA could skirt around and be like no, no, no, hey,
coincidences happened. We're not we're not fixing this league. And
then the NBA lottery happened last night, and it's just
like you can't you can't act like it's not fixed anymore.
(02:33):
The Dallas Mavericks got the number one overall pick in
the draft lottery with a one point eight percent chance
to get the first pick, one point eight percent chance,
and they got it. It's pretty, uh, pretty convenient that
they got that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They get a new franchise player after the weirdest trade ever.
If if you remember Luka Doncic there, you know, star
player just got traded in the middle of the night,
didn't you know? The Mavericks said, oh, we're done with them.
He's fat, we don't want him anymore. And they didn't
(03:14):
like field offers from anybody. They're just like, yeah, we
think the Lakers need him. Yeah, we need to get
a new superstar in La because uh, Lebron's gonna be
eating up all the cap room for the next couple
of years and then he's gonna retire and there's really
nobody that we're gonna be able to get in the interim,
(03:35):
and we don't want to have the Wakers suck. So yeah,
take Fatty mc Eastern European over to the Lakers for
Anthony Davis and a hot dog, and that seems right,
and everybody's like, what's going on? This is crazy? And
then well and behold, they get the first pick in
the draft, and it was crazy because the whole time
(03:58):
the general manager, Nico Harrison, the general manager for the
Dallas Mavericks, he made that trade and he's like, it's
good trade. We gotta see what happens. I think you know,
Time will Tell didn't once look like scared that he
was gonna lose his job, and he was just taking it.
He was going to all the games and they're like,
fire Nico. He was getting death threats from fans, which
(04:21):
is crazy, you shouldn't do that. But also like he
was just he was walking around like bulletproof, didn't care.
He was like, yeah, Time will Tell. I think it
was the right decision for a team, and yeah, I
think we're good. No, I think you guys are gonna
be wrong. And everybody was like, this guy's insane. And
(04:42):
then they get the number one overall pick. You're trying
to tell me that some handshake deal didn't happen. Adam
Silver saw what was going on. He was like, hey,
Celtics are real good right now. Maybe the Lakers can
make it to the finals. Even if they don't, we
still need, you know, the way Akers to be good.
Pair somebody with Lebron ratings are down, get Wuke out
(05:04):
of Dallas, and then you know what, I'll make sure
you get the number one pick. Nico was like, yeah, sure,
I'll do that. It's crazy. The NBA is out of control.
They one hundred percent gave Dallas the first round picking
the lottery. They just announced Michael Jordan's going to be
an NBC analyst next season, giving out his parlays of
(05:26):
the day sponsored by fan Duel, which, by the way,
I'm whatever Michael Jordan says, I'm one hundred percent following
what he's doing. Like, the NBA is was acting so
crazy the past day that Major League Baseball kind of
looked at themselves in the mirror and like, hey, maybe
we've been kind of being hard asses, you know what
(05:47):
I mean. Hey, Pete Rose shoeless Joe Jackson, Yeah, you
can be eligible to get voted into the Hall of Fame. Now,
we don't care about all that gambling stuff. Like that's
how crazy got MLB announced today Pete Rose shoe was
Joe Jackson. Shoe was Joe fixed the nineteen nineteen Black
(06:08):
Sox World Series. You know, got into some trouble with
some mobsters. He couldn't read. They're like Hey, Joe, go
up there and miss Hey Joey. Hey Shoe is Joey Badge?
Come here?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You gonna You're gonna play like shit today? Okay, oh coy, Yeah,
just shine right here. Hey Joey, you can't write your name?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What is this? You just put an X down? Oh?
I don't know. I don't know how to read or right.
I just know how to play baseball. I'm like, yeah, okay, Joe,
just go up there and suck. He hated himself, but
they said he couldn't get into the Hall of Fame
because he, you know, he shaved points, fixed games. Pete
Rose bet on baseball, one of the best hitters of
(06:51):
all time. They're like, hey, Pete, yeah, you can't. He
can't be in the Hall of Fame, even like when
he died. There still like no, even when like FanDuel
and DraftKings and bet MGM and all this, all these
gambling places were like sponsoring MLB games.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It's the World Series on Fox, brought to you by DraftKings.
Pete Rose isn't allowed in, though he would have loved DraftKings.
The hypocrisy didn't hit them until they saw what Adam
Silver was doing in the NBA, and they were like, oh,
you know what, Yeah, maybe we were being dicks, all right,
Pete Rose, she was Joe.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You' alln't go in now. Good for their families, I guess,
I mean she was Joe's been dead. Pete Rose just
died a few years ago, right, I forget when he died.
He might have died this year. Kind of kind of
a dick move to not let them. I mean, she
was Joe. You know, he probably died like a hundred
years ago. But kind of a dick move for them
(07:53):
to not like have Pete Rose get to see himself
get inducted in the Hall of Fame, you know what
I mean. I'd have him on as an analyst for
MLB network. But he's still he couldn't be a Hall
of Famer. And he just had to watch all those
DraftKings and fan duel ads. He's like, hey, in this
what I got kicked out for. Then the NBA was
(08:13):
just like, yeah, well, we'll show you how much we
don't give a fuck what people think of this sport.
We're just gonna fix it. We're just gonna fix it.
It's out of control, it's out of control. But I'm
glad that, you know, at least through all this insanity
that Adam Silver just did with the NBA, the MLB
(08:34):
get to look at themselves in the mirror and be like,
all right, what's what's got Pete and old Shoe was
Joe old X marks the spot back back into the
Hall of Fame. So good for them, Good for them. Man,
Oh I feel good though, I aside from that craziness,
you know, like I was saying earlier, me and Me
(08:55):
and Ames went down to Orlando, took a vacation. She
needed one from work. I was just like, yeah, you know,
I got nothing to do, Let's go down to or
Window And we went to uh we went to Universal
and I hadn't been there in twenty years, so like
it was super cool. Like, you know, they they've obviously
(09:17):
put some new rides in there, which if you haven't
been down to Universal in a while, like go check
out the Harry Potter stuff. It's awesome. But they also
like they kept some of the old rides, like Spider Man,
the whole Jurassic Park. I rode that Jurassic Park River
Adventure that was my favorite ride when I was a kid.
I read it or I wrote it like five times,
(09:40):
and Amy didn't like it because she was like, oh,
I don't want to get wet. I'm like, you're not
gonna get wet. We'll sit in the second or third row.
You don't. You don't really get wet. It's a nice
it's a nice ride. It's the longest ride in the park.
You know, when you're standing in line all day, you know,
your feet get tired. It's a nice sit down. It's
a you'll seven minute ride, take a nice little boat ride.
(10:03):
They're like, oh, look at this, that's a stegosaurus. Uh
these are some bronosaurus and uh yeah, and then you
get knocked off course and you go to the raptor
enclosure and then obviously you you know, go to the
t Rex. It's just it's a cool ride. It's the
best ride in Universal. Hope they keep it. But like
(10:25):
after the first time, Ames was like, I'm not riding
it anymore. And I was like, come on, Like there
was no wait for this thing. It was like five minutes.
So I was like, come on, we just keep riding it.
Come on. She's like, no, I'm not going. So I
was riding it by myself and riding a kid's ride
as an adult, very uncomfortable thing, because that's what it is.
It's a it's a kid's ride, you know what I
(10:46):
mean there, it's a family ride. And when you're there,
you know, by yourself, people start looking at you weird, like, okay,
is he special or is he dangerous? And I had,
you know, my mustache was growing a little bit, it
was protruding out of my beard a little bit and
looking at me like, oh, okay, he's a predator. I'm
not worried about this t Rex. I'm worried about that
guy sitting next to my kids. I'm just saying it
(11:06):
got uncomfortable. That's why I hate pedophiles. Man. They can't
like they got to do that and be the terrible
human beings pieces of shit that they are. So now
I get weird looks when I want to ride Jurassic
Park by myself because my girlfriend don't want to get wet.
Except the people I was sitting next to on one
(11:28):
of the rides, they definitely they didn't think I was
a pedophile. They definitely thought I was special because I
was sitting there by myself, just with a big old
shit eating grin on my face. And Amy like was
in the you know, the the viewing section where like,
you know, you come down after the t Rex almost
(11:49):
get you and you go down the slide, and she
was like taking a video or trying to take a
picture of me, and she timed it up to where
she could see me so she could get a video.
We came down and I like turn to look at
her and just like did a big Tom Hanks and
Forrest Gump wave when he sees Lieutenant Dan on the dock.
Lieutenant Dian I got one of those, and like the
(12:12):
look of relief on this mom's face. I was sitting
next to a single mom and her two kids, and
the whole time she's like, you know, trying to enjoy
it with her kids, but she's also looking at me,
like this guy's by himself. He looks like he's in
his thirties, he's got a mustache. She's this guy gonna
touch my kids. And then as soon as she saw
me do that big Lieutenant Diane waves, she was like, Okay, good,
(12:33):
he's just retarded. But I had a good time, man,
I had a good time. It was fun. The funniest
part about Universal though, like it was one of the things,
because like you go to amusement parks and you're just
you're around everybody, you know what I mean. Like, I
don't know, I don't think I saw too many smart
(12:55):
people there, but I definitely saw some dumb people there.
Like I was there, you know, I'm stupid, so I
was having a good time. But there are people dumber
than me, you know, as hard as that is the fathom,
there are people that are dumber than me at these
amusement parks. And me and Ames were we were in
line for the Men in Black ride, and we were
(13:17):
like at the front of the line, and you have
to wait to go into this door, and then when
you go in the door, it puts you in like
this room before you actually walk in to go into
the ride, and it does like this fake kind of
you know, eighth grade science class thing like the universe
(13:39):
and you on this journey, We're going to explore all
the stars of the Solar System, and then it kind
of like fades out. Seven seconds, it fades out and
goes all right, enough of that, it's time for your
MiB training. Get in there. We're looking for the best
of the best of the best, sir. All that stuff.
So we're waiting in the line. We're at the front
waiting to go into this room, and these people, these rednecks,
(14:02):
walked out and they're like, that's not a ride and
some kind of informational shit, and Amy turned around and
was like, uh no, it's a ride. She goes, no,
they're talking about the universe. I don't want to learn nothing,
and she's like, no, you just gotta wait, and then
it lets you in the ride and they're like, oh,
that's stupid. It was like the mom, the daughter, and
(14:24):
the grandma, you know, just looking like all they do
is drink mountain dew for breakfast. And we get in
there and we're cracking up because we were like, no
way that these people left that ride. Because of that reason,
we get in there, we're like counting down to see
how long the informational, the fake informational part of this
ride takes. And it's like the universe and you join
(14:46):
us as we explore all the stars of the galaxy.
Seven seconds. So that means that these people were in
there for five seconds and just there was an inkling
of them maybe about the earn something. They're like, fuck that,
we're out of here. I'm not learning shit.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I'm on vacation. Where is my Baha blast? I need
my coat red?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And the best part was like once Amy told these
people that it was an actual ride, like they got confused.
They tried to like jump back in the front of
the line, and we were like no, So then they
got in the back of the line and we were
looking at them the whole time, and they were furious
that they realized that they were that stupid, Like they
(15:33):
were just sitting there the whole time. Like the grandma
was yelling at her daughter. The little kid was happy
regardless she had know what was going on, but like
the mom was the one who was like, I ain't
learning shit, and the grandma was like, I told you
it was the right. It was beautiful to watch, absolutely
beautiful to watch. But there are some interesting people that
(15:53):
you're gonna see at amusement parks. Like Amy was like
almost getting me into fight, and not like actually almost
getting me into fights, but just like she jumped up
the probability of me almost getting into fights like a
little higher than one point eight percent of getting the
first round pick in the NBA lottery, Well it was
probably like fifteen percent chance of I'm gonna have to
(16:16):
fight this family because Amy's staring at him, like, there's
this one lady. We were in one of the new
Harry Potter rides and we saw her outside, and this
lady just had like the biggest hits I've ever seen
in my time. Like she was about five to two.
These things like way too big, like the size of
(16:39):
a small car sitting on each chesticle of hers. It
was crazy. So we see that and we're like, oh,
that's crazy, and then we end up getting in line
behind them at the Harry Potter ride and she had
the bbl butt two like this thing. She was probably
five to two and maybe I don't know, her whole
(17:02):
body went like a foot horizontally, like she was only
a foot long, but her butt, her tits, it was
like Monday to Friday. It was crazy. How big was
so Amy keeps pointing out, I'm like, yeah, I saw,
let's look at you know, what Harry Potter's doing in
gring Goots. And she keeps staring, and she like walked
(17:23):
away from me to go stand right behind this lady
and she was just staring at it, like with her
hand on her chin, like pondering how big this thing
was with her mouth open, and finally, like the lady's
family saw, Like the lady's daughter turned around. She was
older saw and kind of gave Amy, what are you
looking at? Look? And then Amy comes over me, laughing
(17:48):
and she mumbles something to me. I go what, And
right as she's saying, I just got caught looking at
that lady, I look up and make direct eye contact
with the daughter and the son, who are both you know,
in their mid twenties, and the whole family's looking at
me now because they can't hit Amy, but they can
definitely hit me. And I'm not big enough to you know,
(18:09):
think about not hitting you know what I mean, They
could definitely hit me and feel good about themselves. So
I'm like, hey, stop, just quit look look the other way,
look up. So I'm doing I'm doing that. M It's
crazy looking, you know, like when Michael Sarah and uh
super Bad gets caught looking at or not Michael Sarah
Mick Lovin gets caught looking at that girl's throng and
(18:31):
super Bad and he goes, oh, well, that's crazy. The
time is two seventeen. I was doing that because I
was about to get in fights. I was like, hey,
stop looking at weird people. Let's just like focus on
the rise. But for the most part, Universal people are cool.
You know, like you get some rude people, you get
like some really dumb people, but it's fine. And then
(18:53):
we're you know, went to Universal for two days and
we're just gonna chill at the hotel pool, you know,
for the next three days. James was like, I don't know,
I want to go to Disney and we were looking.
We were like, the tickets for Disney are way too expensive.
But when we were checking into the hotel, we go
to the timeshare people. We're like, hey, you guys got
any deals, and they're like, yeah, we'll give you some
free tickets if you go sit through this time share thing.
(19:16):
So we're like, yeah, okay, we got a free day,
let's kill it. So we go sit through this time
shared thing and you know, they're making the pitch and
blah blah blah, and our guy was like our best
friend the whole time. And then like two hours through it,
you know, he's like, all right, so what do you think.
I go no, and he goes oh, and immediately just
(19:36):
all the charm, all the niceness, all the best friend
energy he was giving off was just gone. He's like, oh, okay,
well you're gonna have to talk to somebody from corporate
real quick. They're gonna ask you to fill out the survey.
Blah blah blah. They just kept passing this off to people,
you know, the timeshare stuff, And we get to the
corporate lady who was all like smiles and hey, how
to go blah blah blah. And she was like, so
(19:58):
what do I have to do to get you you
to sign this time share? I'm like nothing, Like she
was like, now, don't just say no, have an open mind.
I'm like, no, it's fine, I don't want. I don't
want the time share. And she was like, well, what
like if you think And I was like, honestly, lady,
I've been here for two and a half hours now
I'm tired. I want to go. Just sign this piece
of paper that says I can go see Mickey Mouse
and let me walk out the door. So we finally
(20:21):
got that. We go to Disney, and Disney people are
so much more insane than Universal people. Like Universal people
for the most part, are cool, but then like you know,
some of the Harry Potter people are kind of like
a little two on edge. You're like, I love but
of beer. You're like, okay, hermione, relax. You know, we're
all here trying to have a good time. And then
(20:44):
you know, you're like these people are crazy. But then
you go to Disney and everybody is the most insane
human being that you have ever met in your entire life.
Like everybody is just I think it's because the tickets
are so high, they're so expensive, Like it's all all
the families, Like my kid is going to have the
most fun, memorable experience of all time and you're not
(21:06):
going to stand in the way of that. I'm like, okay, well, relax,
Like every family is like one bad experience on a
ride from getting a divorce, you know. Like that's the
energy everybody's walking around with. And Disney doesn't help it
because all the rides they like make people crazier in
(21:27):
the lines, Like, you know, you get in a line,
you're standing behind people, the waits like forty five minutes
to an hour. You hate, you hate your wife while
you're sitting there, right, But what they started doing for
all these rides is they'll have you sit in line
for thirty to forty five minutes in the regular line,
like single file, just keep inching up into the line,
(21:48):
and then they'll have you go into this room that's
like a pre ride experience. It's like the prequil to
the ride where no lines exist. So everybody just free
for all that, trying to get ahead of the people
they've been standing behind for six minutes, Like, can we
have some law and order in here? People are like elbowing, pushing, shoving,
(22:09):
kids are crying, and everybody's just gritting their teeth. Like,
if we don't get in front of all these people,
I am calling the lawyer tomorrow. We're getting divorce.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Lady.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I think Disney does that on purpose. Man, I think
they do that on purpose. But all right, I gotta
get out here, gotta go do some stand up work
on some jokes real quick. But I will give you
your headline of the week and then see you next Tuesday.
