big success. We're a songwriting duoand a musical team. I'm just just

(01:49):
send me one voice note idea thatI can work with anything. Just just
maybe like a riff on your guitar. You handle the music. We discussed
this. You have access to guitars. Your girlfriend is an accomplished player.
I've seen I've seen an acoustic atyour house. Is it a big step
for your girlfriend to have her leaveguitars at your house? You guys have

(02:15):
been dating for like twenty three years. So no, Hey, let's see
if Mike's got anything. No,I don't know how to play guitar.
Anyone can play guitar. Mike,you too want to always grab the guitar
and play. No, it's him, It's always him. I hate the
guitar. You know what? Fine, I have a little bit of something

(02:36):
just for Kevin. Ready, allright, go ahead, I don't know
if it's in tune for your Mikeyshould use this the Sirroy always tuned guitar,
Loo getting hold that he's kind ofholds the guitar or weird that and'
he did? Yeah? Okay,huh that's pretty good. That before,

(02:57):
that's pretty good, Mike yeah,Dave, Yeah, okay, Kevi,
Oh, since you want to handme a damn guitar, here's day.
What song do you know how toplay? Here? See if you know
this one? Okay? Since we'regiving away Steve Vye and Joe Satriani tickets

(03:21):
this week, let's hear a little. I don't know a little. Uh,
David Lee Roth, Steve v Era. How about some eat him and
smile? Mikey, I do likeeat him and smile. I do like
Ladies Night in Buffalo as a songoff eat him and smile if you want
to, Okay, okay, allright, all right, I think people
would rather I have one last onefor you? You have one more?

(03:44):
Okay? What's this one called?What do you want to hear? I
don't know? What do you?What? Do you what? Do you
have in mind? All right,okay, all right, last one play
the Masters theme. I can't getover how Mike hold his hands on the
guitar. It's just doesn't matter howthe sound comes out, and you yell
at every golfer how they gripped theclub. No, it's really good.

(04:12):
See now the true player comes out. All right, what are we doing?
Let's see? He is such aninsult driving away listeners. What's the
most up? The worse? Nothingworse at a party when someone breaks out
the acoustic and that does happen onthis show. We don't need a show.
We're good. Rice got wreck Ricknow twelve days ago. Yeah,

(04:36):
because it was the Saturday before lastand he was out there racing. Well,
they think they know things about it. Now. This is from this
Morning News and the Telegram. Igot alerts on my phone about this yesterday.
He is facing eight charges in connectionwith the big hit and run.

(04:56):
So it's one count of aggravated assault, one cou of collision involving serious bodily
injury, six counts of collision involvinginjury. Now the other man suspected to
be driving the car as a twentyone year old by the name of Theodore
Knox, And if you go tothe SMU football roster, there's a guy
on the team by the name ofTheodore Teddy Knox. But it could be

(05:19):
a different guy. We don't know. They were not clear on that.
But where she race did good SMU, so it would make sense. Passengers
in the sports cars will not facecharges, which is fine, But I
have to ask. If you're apassenger and a hit and run incident,
aren't you still technically involved in therun part? Yeah? But did you

(05:43):
commit a crime? What are yourunning from? When I ran from an
incident that I was involved in,I did not stop to render aid.
I didn't do the hit part,but I ran. Well, they kind
of walked. I agree. I'mshy, I'm asking. I'm not looking
for anyone to get in trouble.I'm just kind of No, I am
looking someone to get in trouble,and I'm tired of these guys hiding behind
their lawyers. Yeah, that's true. Well that's pretty standard. Yeah,

(06:11):
so the arrest warrant has been issued, correct, But he's not in cuffs
to my knowledge yet. No.Well, he peacefully turned himself in or
they gonna have to go find him. But the boy, the way I
was interpreting things was that he willturn himself in. And the reason that
it took a while was because thelevel of interrogation and investigation of this incident

(06:35):
was going to be so deep,and because he placed for the Chiefs.
Basically, he got that time toget counseled and everyone was kind of okay
with it. It's almost as ifpolice knew I could be wrong. It's
almost as if police knew but justdidn't tell the media. They knew,
Okay, we know what trashy RiceRoyce West probably makes a call. He's

(06:56):
I'm gonna, you know, defendhim. Just y'all back off a couple
of days. Let us get ourducks in a row, and then we'll
handle this. I wonder if itworks like that many times? Well,
does he call the team? Doeshe call the chiefs? Chiefs never made
a statement either. I thought thatwas hot and say, do you who's
our team lawyer? I don't knowif it works that way, does it?
I don't know. The Cowboy isabsolutely spoiled. All NFL teams operate

(07:23):
like this one. Maybe the Cowboysshadowy squad of people that can make anything
go away, I call it whileyou're in a cleaner. I do not
know if this is true, andI don't know you guys might have talked
about this, but y'all remember thecase from years ago where it was Zeke
got in trouble for allegedly punching theDJ oh yeah at the club at the

(07:47):
Snake Whole Lounge. Some footage ofthat correct. I don't know if their
footage ever came out, but let'sjust say maybe from the aftermath of it,
like somebody got their phone out afterthe incide. Did you say this
Nke Whole Lounge? Hash made thatup? I mean, it's Parks,
It's the bar on Parks and Wreck, but that sounds like a different kind
of place. This is kind ofsounded like the name of the bar that

(08:09):
he was at. Either way,I just again, I can't confirm if
this is true or not, butthe connections I had at that time in
cowboy Land were all plenty. Dude, and I talked to someone who was
there and they're like, yeah,the Cowboys cleaner got there before handing out
NDA's before the cops got there,And I believe it. That's incredible.

(08:35):
They're getting people to sign stuff.Because if you're Zeke, if you have
the number, like the magical phonenumber, Like if you're some six round
rookie, they don't give you themagic number. Yeah, but if you're
Zeke, you have someone to call, like, hey, if you get
in any trouble, call this person. That could include, hey, i've
been drinking, I need a ride. There's a liaison. I mean the

(08:56):
NFL teams have community liaison all ofthat, and sure, yeah, I
want tickets to see uh whatever bandsin town and we just magically arrive.
But I don't know if that's thesame person or there's another level. This
was you call this number in yourphone, this year number. Don't any

(09:16):
problems you call this Yeah, Icall him the wolf. Yeah, you
call the wolf. And then Leightonvander esh is like, fine, I'll
deal with that. Hurt. Youknow me too, and my neck is
killing me. Underrated was the wolfcall? I thought that was a good
bit. Yeah he was fine.The worst in Cowboy history was idiot making

(09:39):
tacos on the one half sack hemade in his whole career. Taco Charlton.
Oh yeah, he made a littletaco. Huh. We were waiting
on it ate it and we're like, yeah, we get it. We
should. You should only eat halfof the taco. Taco use the body
swift. Those are a big coco. And the Jalen Smith bowling thing was

(10:01):
real bad. The swipe was bad. Nothing was worth the taco though,
but underrated. The wolf called thewolf call was cool. It was easy.
He was a good player. Everyoneknew what he was doing. The
swipe is good if you're winning andyou're and you're good. But he would
like just jump on a pile upand then do the swipe and it's like,

(10:22):
we're also losing to the Bears bytwenty on National TV. What are
you doing? My friend? Boy? That was the guy. I never
got a good handle on Jalen Smith. He's an interesting case. He was
quite maligned and also probably a verynice person. And yeah, I was.
I always thought from you, Idon't know him, so it's unfair
of me to say, but Isensed fake. Yeah, but I went

(10:46):
to the Combine that year and he'swearing your brace and the media is grilling
him up on the podium. Thepoor guy in a meaningless Bowl game ripped
his knee up, you know,But he's wearing a brace and it got
out in the media. At thepot he was asking I was sitting there,
what does this happened? They're askinghim questions like, so, what's
to do with the brace? He'slike, oh, I'm not earning a
brace. He's just a lye.This dog's out. Everyone saw video of

(11:09):
you, like they've seen the brace, or we can look at it right
now. No, no, no, now, the nerves doing its thing.
Brace. No brace. He issticking to the copy points. I
got a genius. Maybe I don'tknow real quick on that, so I
don't know about that. On theOtani thing, they have decided that the

(11:31):
homie's gonna face some federal charges,and Otani has cooperated with the FEDS.
Translator, the translator that allegedly stolefour point five million dollars federal charges.
So we were kind of talking aboutthe idea that if it was maybe Otani

(11:52):
just gambling, that has to dowith the bank, so of course it's
gonna be federal. You know,Okay, I stole money from allegedly stole
money from Otani's bank account. Isthis a Rico case? Stanny, I
don't think it's a Rico case.It's just one man acting alone. I
worry about getting wrapped up in aRICO case. You should. What does
that mean in your life? Racketeering? I don't even know. I just

(12:16):
know. I think it's if you'repart of an organization that if one person's
doing something bad, then the entiregroup can be charged. And I don't
see that. That's a very veryuh, uneducated, loose interpretation of my
understanding of it. It's the racketeeringinfluenced corrupt and corrupt organizations. Okay,

(12:37):
yeah, and what is it?What is there a definition of it?
Uh? The Rico Act is theUnited States better a lot of provides for
extended criminal penalties and a civil causeof action for acts performed as part of
an ongoing criminal organization. Oh yeah, it's get one, you get all
those. So if they get me, they're getting you two as well.
You're going down Rico. I can'tthink of a better sell mate, Thank

(12:58):
you, seriously. We play guitar, write songs, write some new music
together. We did do a wholeWe could do like a Charles Manson album.
Yeah, my good? What whowon the Masters in nineteen thirty four,
the very first Masters, Horton Smithwon the Masters in nineteen thirty four.

(13:18):
Jesus, everybody knows that, youdummy. I was wondering who won
the first one ninety years ago?But it's not the ninetieth Masters. They
took some years off for World WarTwo. They did, They took three
years off, Kevin three years,forty three, forty four and four?
Who won? Okay? Who wonin thirty five the year after the second
Masters? I was, of courseJeans Sarazon won in nineteen thirty five.

(13:41):
And then who who's thirty six?Go to just do it? Yes,
Horton Smith won in thirty six.Second right now? I have to rattle
it off, all right, I'lltry. It is a parlor trick for
everyone. Do you think you cando it perfectly? Or do you think
you need it's one? Do youthink he needs one or two strike standing?

(14:01):
I don't need strike. I thinkhe can do it perfectly. I
just I'm worried that he can't doit without his glass of wine. But
I might need I could do itperfect I might I might catch myself.
I need a reset. You canmake just a very subtle noise if I
screw something up. You got infront of you, k yep, cool,
I'm blindfolding myself. No, itwas blindfold to prove. I mean,

(14:26):
I think you're the only one anyonewill trust around here. Tell him
if I'm blindfolded or not. I'mwatching. I didn't hear what you said.
Why was he wearing a top hat? Did you see? Yes,
