Li d B lie Be Line B line.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Bo Light the Beam. Indeed, we are back in the
room for another Monday night edition of this program, this
program being the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma. I am
your host, Sam Freeze, along with Cap and LG. As

(00:28):
normal as we broadcast once again live here on the
north side of San Antonio, only twenty four days away
from NFL Opening Night, now.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Getting closed.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's hard to believe this countdown keeps going down day
by day. It's it's insane how time works. It's not
a flat circle when it comes to NFL Opening Night.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I had my first draft yesterday, so I know it's
to you. It was a dynasty draft. Saw you do
is draft rookies?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay? I was about to say, this is pretty early.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is it? You just draft only three drafts for in
the Dynasty league, you keep the whole team and you
have a taxi squad which is only the rooks. You
can only put rookies in there.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
God, taxi squad gives me PTSD. It gives me a
flashbacks to the COVID the taxi squads that Baseball had.
Baseball team had of like ope, someone tested positive. Bring
up a guy from the taxi.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Squad that they just travel with the team. That twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Year I mean, looking back on it, the I don't
think we actually talked enough about how insane like the
bubble was, the NBA bubble or the NHL bubble, or
the baseball like the.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
The baseball with the cutout.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, that was, like that's what I'm imagining, Like you know,
when we you know, growing up watching ESPN Classic when
it was still a thing, or now like a thirty
for thirty, imagine the thirty for thirty and ten twenty
years on the cutout fans at MLB playoff games.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So you want to know what I did, me and
a couple of my friends did during the non sports,
the early days of COVID. We throw it on, we
throw Madden on, and we go computer versus computer, and
then we sit there and watch it like a real game,
and we make bets on it and be like, all right, shot,
he gets the first down on here, and yeah, that's

(02:24):
even better.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, yeah, that that makes it again again. I think
in twenty years, when kids look store, when kids I was,
I was a FEMA approved emergency broadcaster with the card
and everything, because there was all the they were gonna
shut down the highways, not allow people to leave their houses,

(02:48):
all of that nonsense. Yeah, a bit absurd. Also along
the lines of absurd, not only are we twenty four
days away from NFL Opening Night, it is also National
Playing the Sand Day?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay? Is that one not do anything for you? How
about the beach? I like those sad castle compositions that
they have down there, like Poor Day's, Oh sped.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
We always end up, for whatever reason, the same. We
go to the Poor Day about the same time every year.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Isn't Labor Day? Did they do it? Ah? Think so? Yeah,
right before you.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
In the last three years we've gotten there the week
before the competition, so it's as they've moved all of
the sand in the place, exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It works out.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
It works out. So I don't know what it is
about sand today. It's also National Global Kinetic Sand Day
sand whatever NERD came up with that, it says, founded
in twenty twenty, Yeah exactly. And then for the parents
listening watching following along, it's National Sons and Daughter's Day.

(04:00):
That one could be split up.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I didn't get a phone call.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, I don't think your kids probably tuned into the PR.
This is so this website that I pull all these
from is literally this was like basically a like PR
Bible of sorts when we were looking for you know,
BS holidays to like, okay, it's National Sanday. Do any
of our restaurants have a beach, volleyball court or anything

(04:27):
that we can tie in so, you know, playing the
sand day.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I will tell you might be getting you know, we
might be popped more popular than we think because no
other uh, the one and only John Oliver did a
national holiday bit on one of his little in between things.
It's a good bit because it's and it was National
no Underpants Day, hey, or National underpants Day.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Score one for the good guys.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
And they started talking about their underpants. And then this
black guy's like, yeah, some people were boxes, but you know,
it doesn't look like you can pull it off because
he was talking about like he was white and black
guy talking about Magnum donds. Okay.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Also, I got caught up on I got caught up
on Sunny After last week LG shot my wheels off
with the with the frank drop during the lightning round.
I there's there are a few things better. I mean,
you also remember speaking to John Oliver in local stations. Yeah,
when he was selling the Nazi sex blankets that was

(05:31):
like produced using techno German technology from the late nineteen forties. Yeah,
he started, he went on all of those lifestyle shows
and pitched the blanket. And few things are better than
the local mid level market.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I thought Washington got so confused, so so confused coming
up on the show tonight.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
We got a lot to get to. It's a lot
of Honestly, it's a lot to get to, but it's
not a lot of red meat. I feel like this
is this kind of feels like this is.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
A potluck appetizer, only very much so.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
And it feels you know, we're three weeks away from
NFL opening week. We're two weeks away, I guess two
and a half weeks away from college football really turning.
We've got the new AP pole that just got released.
We'll talk about that in.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
The Lightning Round.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Gonna end up having We talked about it a little
bit in our college football pre preview we did last week.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Ohio State got the AP number three, and everybody man,
they're getting crushed saying they shouldn't even be up that high.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, we're gonna go through them, because I mean, with
any of these preseason polls, what the hell do we
really know? I mean, every year, at least one team
that's outside of the top ten in the preseason poll
makes the play off. Some years a team that's unranked
ends up like Indiana last year. Who had Indiana go

(07:06):
going ten and oh to start the year? Maybe eleven
and I can't remember. I think it was ten and
oh they started. Or how about Army and Navy both
being undefeated at the midway point of the season last
year and he.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Started playing some SEC or Big ten teams.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, it's uh man, I I would love to see
some form of promotion relegation hit college football where you
actually had a single game, yeah, to determine, you know,
like if UTSA was the best of the group of
five and they got one game to go up against
like West Virginia to try to get.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
In, like Oklahoma gets knocked out of the SEC and
as go back to the look.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
As it's it's obviously insane, absurd, sounds insane, but as
uh as the money con.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Ain't gonna let that hat. Yeah, he ain't taking my
morning away from me.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Vanderbilt has managed to stay in the SEC all these years.
I watched the watch some of that that.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
SEC.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
What is it like? Uh, it's like hard knocks. I
can't think of what this it's called, but it's it's
not bad. The I specifically went and my platform, Uh Netflix.
It's the same people that do the drive to Survive
and the full swing the Formula one GOM there's a
tennis one to like break break serve or break point
something like that.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I always like the Last Chance you. Oh no, those
were great. Those are last chance you and my boy
from California that I mean that guy. I I'm not
gonna lie. I bought that man's book and gave it
to my son and be like, you need to read
up on this man. It's all about accountability.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't think you were alone. I don't think you
were alone. That guy's continued to have some hot sports
and politics opinion ever since he got the platform he did.
Before we go any further, let's test the connection with
the next room over as we turn to our what

(09:12):
can only be described as our overlord, the overlord, the
technological overlord of this program.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
LG.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Do we have LG? God that Eagles? Is it still
trips me up, still trips me up. September fourth, Well.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
It reminds me of the taro owns nowadays on O
five Men.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
It reminds me of the fact that I saw over
the weekend Randall Cunningham. I forgot he was the punter
at UNLV as he was an All American punter and quarterback.
Speaking of old Eagles, LG. Tell the good people how
they can help support us.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, go full watch it, go full ed Norton. You
have to keep the beard though, even after you shave
the head.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh man, I'm gonna look like I'm gonna look like
I made those sex blanks.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's correct. Yeah, As as LG said, it's YouTube's absolutely free.
So everything you do there, whether you subscribe, give a
thumbs up, you know, watch the program, any of that,
all of it's absolutely free. I'm looking at it now.
We are forty two subscribers away from five hundred, so close.
If you have not subscribed, or if you have someone

(11:25):
that lives under the same roof as you that has
not subscribed, please please please let's get those numbers up
to five hundred before September fourth so we can do
some super chats during the Cowboys season and then of
course from five hundred the race to one thousand begins.
So any way you can help us, we greatly greatly

(11:48):
appreciate it. Obviously, the Amazon wish list not as free
as YouTube. But if you've got the means and the
passion to support the program, if you.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hit that little casino, of those little casino things in
every bar and gas station and pretty much barbershops and
anywhere whenever you do you know anything about those? Dude?
How do I know people who own them?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Okay, this is the beginning of a side note tangent
how one, how is that legal? How is that not
just straight casino gambling?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
And two?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
How do you actually like what do you? Are you
winning money? Because are you winning?

Speaker 1 (12:31):
You're winning? Buy a bunch of Doritos and gatorades. Let
me give you the breakdown. You got your machines that
you play on. Then you got your little machine over here.
That's the ATM that you put your ticket into. Later,
so you cannot promote a game of chance in the
state of Texas. But because these little slot things you

(12:53):
can move one up or down. Now it's a game
of skill.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh my god, of all the things trying to crack
and how is this not a high priority?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
They were like they used to have these things. They
didn't have it to wear a game of chance. Back
in the day, it was you could do a game
of chance, but and then play poker or whatnot on them.
And they had like whole buildings dedicated to these things.
And one of my friend's mom used to go into one,
and I went into one. I was like, dude, this

(13:28):
is really cracky.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
That's the best way you do.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Go into these bodegas on the east and west side,
and you know what I'm saying, And like in the
gas stations, people be just posted up sitting there. Oh
I've got, you know, doing outside.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Every time I go into my like normal neighborhood, you know,
convenience store on the east side, I see the same
two guys and they're just posted up right next to
each other, just playing away.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I've known so many people that hit like I'm like,
hit like six thousand dollars on them. What Yeah, But
I'm like, how much money have you put it that
the past like three months? But he's like, the thing
is the game. Some of them won't let you continue.
It will go unless you put the right thing to

(14:18):
where you won. So therefore, is in my opinion, no
longer a game of skill because it's forcing you to win.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, I just don't see weird.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
See how they'd.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Besides just fueling addiction. I don't see how there's any
heavy addiction, any benefit whatsoever to the person playing.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
They're preying on the bartenders. They can't take their eyes
off of it. Like I'll be sitting there watching TV
and they're over there just watching the slot games, and
I'm like, stop watching the slots. I put one hundred
dollars in that early. He's gonna hit, he's gonna take
my money. They get mad if you go and play
the after room and then you Yeah, they feel like

(15:00):
they've been slided.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
And because they probably have, I mean, because they're probably
right to feel that way. There's no no bit of
that sounds uh, no bit of that.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Like you better not play that game right after me,
And I'm like, right, I won't. But like he was serious,
of course I didn't. I don't. I don't put money
in that. I played poker. Yeah, I liked the mind games,
so that I.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
At least understand, like the poker rooms, the.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Private I can't get a rake, right, I get that
you're buying time to be in there, but I've never
understood whatever you want the slot machines.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Again, in this state, as we're cracking down on uh
you know th HC plus whatever.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Seventh September first, Yeah, that's what they say. You thought, Gregy,
it was your friend. Wheels is not your friend.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
I saw the h what's her name she ran for?
She ran against Sid Miller a couple of election cycles ago.
Sarah Stagner. She's a district attorney out in West Texas.
If you remember, she is the Republican who rode an
Oil Derek Topless just wearing pasties in the campaign video.

(16:14):
I might still follow her on x UH and and
I might see some of her stuff reposted, as LG
explained to us. Now, she's got good policies.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I'm a fan of her policies too. They are solid.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
She's got policies. Well, she drove into New Mexico and
bought a joint and then smoked it live on TikTok
or something, you know what what all of the politicians.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Are doing now.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
So you know it was it was a very come
and take it moment to come and take it Paxton
and Abbit.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I don't think it.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't think it got her anywhere, but it got
some attention.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I saw it.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Now, in the main segment tonight, we're gonna talk speaking
of female politicians. We're going to talk a little bit
about more about Project Marvel, because the mayor spoke for
extended length of time, did a little press conference. She
is losing the battle in city Hall right now when
it comes to Project Marvel, and I don't think we've

(17:17):
actually we kind of glossed over the overarching idea of
Project Marvel. But Jeff Garcia put out a two different
clips about five minutes altogether.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
In length, where.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
For the first time, I feel like we've actually gotten
some of her direct thoughts on it, because we haven't
heard her say she's against it, but we also haven't
heard her say she's directly for it, and so she
elaborated a little bit more. So we're going to talk
about that in the main segment. Got col notes along
the way, got to talk about the first preseason game.
Of course, a little weekend sports recap, but before we

(17:57):
get into any sports, got some actual weekend doings to recap.
I saw my pops earlier. It was Thursday, Yeah, Thursday, Yeah,
he was in town for he's working working for the
state now working for the agg Department out of Waco,

(18:18):
So he was in town for a.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Big with them drones flying around.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Exactly all of the uh what what are the the planes?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Everyone there?

Speaker 2 (18:29):
The weather controlling Uh oh, you know what I'm talking about. No, no, no,
not the weather balloon. Kim trails, the old Kim Trails.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah. No.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
He was in town for a convention that they had
at the Henry b So Thursday, after they were wrapping
everything up, I got to see him. First of all,
he is on a quest to get down to his
high school weight, and this is the first time I
have seen him, seriously, the first time since I was

(19:02):
at high school age. Seriously, try to, you know, cut
weight like a prize fighter. We're down thirty five pounds
and I can barely recognize the man. Oh, buddy, it's
pretty impressive now.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
And he can take thirty five pounds off me. And
you're like, did you get a haircut? Yeah, that's kind
of how I feel with my I.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Could be I could be two twenty or two fifty,
and it looks about the same because I'm because we're tall.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
That my old man, you don't get to you don't
even get to talk with those fat people.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Man.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
I got our own club. I can't sit at our table.
At least let me be the bouncer.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
I got hit that three. I got to hit that three.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Okay, I've never hit that, but there was a time
where I was close. Uh somewhat close. Still still not
that close, but uh no, he is. He's on the
old ozempic.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Hey, I ain't gonna lie to you quick results like
he's he's seen some like it's like, man, it's like
a fourth of what you ate. I took them a
journal way back in the day because it was like
my doctor was like, hey, you want to take this,
and blah blah blah, it's twenty dollars and I was like, okay,
and then I took it and it was like, and

(20:13):
you get all the side effects, but I'm not diabetic
or anything, so it was like I was taking diabetes
mess and with the peptides, that's what gets you down.
So now what everybody's making, it's peptides with a compound
and they put like a B twelve in there some
other It's a lot of science, you know, a lot
of science mixed in with you know, vaccine stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Playing I was about to say science mixed in with vanity.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, with a dose of it does. It does make
you just not want to eat. Man, So that was
what he was taught. That was like a quarter what
I normally ate, like, especially after like coming home on
little tipsy and that door dash. Don't get called too
much anymore. The other side effect, though, was Hector's pissed.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
After all, Hectors, you're costing. Hector's trying to put kids
through college, Like if you're constant, how about a state school?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Now? Now?

Speaker 2 (21:07):
He the other side effect, besides curbing the appetite after
I could tell after that first margarita.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Oh yeah, exactly, sip your drinks.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm having the debate of like, well, I'm in I'm
enjoying seeing my dad. He's gonna have to drive, you know,
three hours north to go home at some point, how
much more like do we do we need to leave?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Because so what kind of a what kind of I'm
not saying you're dad's drunk, but when he's drunk or tipsy,
you got like the three types, the angry, the loving,
and then the reminiscing. I'm sure there's a bunch of
different times I'm missing.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'd say between those three, definitely more of the definitely
not even as much to loving, but just more like
he kind of becomes like Jackie the joke man like
kind of goes like straight silly, silly.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yes, he is the best word.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, which was great.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Jokes just come out exactly.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh dude, he had some he had some hot festeine theories.
Those were, Yeah, had all kinds of masade based ideas
that he was coming around on. No, the big the
big thing on his plate. So he he was mayor
when he was when I was eight years old, he

(22:33):
was mayor of our hometown.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
He was only twenty eight, young young man, right, yeah,
young people. That's right.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
His dad, my grandpa. I never met him, but that's
what I'm named after. Full Like, if you ever see
I put every now and then I'll post a picture where.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
It's like elect Samuel W.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Freeze County Judge Grandpa's You have some of those posters
hanging around your house? Yeah, I have. I have one
of I have one of his election posters in my bedroom.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
We need we need that one on the back wall
right there.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
You know what I could So I've got I've got
a collection of them. We could we could definitely get
one in the room.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
We probably should.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
But he was he was like the only lawyer in
my hometown for a long so naturally likes, why don't.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
You be the judge?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
You know, you seem to know the law better than
any of us, and so like forever, you know, the
roommate one of the times I took her back his
My grandpa's old office is in a lumberyard that we
that's just like our family heirloom lumberyards.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Where all of our basically where all of our crap sits.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
And his office is still untouched how it was when
he was still among the living.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
And within it.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
He's got a bunch of old county records where we
literally found a county record from like nineteen fifty three
of my buddy's grandpa get arrested for drunk driving. It's
my grandfather. He's still got all the county records. So
we were looking up you know, last names that I
was like, oh, well here, you know, you.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Know, got documents. He's got classified documents in his house.
Something's never changed, buddy, everybody does it.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Something's never changed. But no, his his big battle right now.
He's recently gotten back into small town politics and he's
city council member, which is funny because I'm in the
main segment we're going to talk about Project Marvel and
the mayor's battle with the city council here, and the
whole time he was explaining what they're fighting about back home.

(24:41):
You know, there's the new rate you know, data centers
wanting all of these cooling you know, AI data center
crap like that, and all these companies are preying on
small towns, rural areas to buy their land and put
these big data centers in which there's pros and cons
for either way. You know, there's pros for the business,

(25:02):
pros for the city county. There's also cons for the
city county, less cons for the actual businesses. So that's
their big battle right now. And it was funny as
I was hearing him, you know, break down where the
county stands, where him and the other city councilors stand,
where the mayor stands on the on the idea. I

(25:24):
just couldn't help but keep thinking about Project Marvel and
how the way this is being run right now here.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
In San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
It sounds exactly like my town of less than three
thousand people, which is also why I love this city.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Shouldn't it shouldn't though they're like almost three million.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
We're the eighth, seventh, eighth biggest city in the US.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
You know, it's it's a.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
One point five billion dollar project altogether, maybe more. Yeah,
and it's being discussed and bandied about like it's a
town of less than three thousand people.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I couldn't get that parallel out of my head because again,
it's what I love about this city more than any
I mean, it's uh, the fact that it does feel
like my small town. But also it's the thing that
drives me the most insane at times is when it's
run like my small town.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I saw that. You probably saw all the like the
conversations to close Like I'm very into, like you know,
the judicial system on all sides and whatnot. And a
lot of it started with me having to sit in
court waiting for my lawyer for four hours and I'm
listening to everybody's case and just seeing the hypocrisy, yeah, start,

(26:47):
and just seeing how the DA is working and how
the lawyers working and how the angles are worked. And
you know, just because he just kept pushing the case, pushing,
but I had to show up there every month or two.
You know it wasn't for anything bad. It wasn't. I
didn't kill anybody that well that we know of. But yeah,
it does open your eyes.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
I mean when you get a close There were there
were There were multiple times whenever I was like nine,
ten years old, where I might have accidentally repeated something
that was said behind closed doors to somebody. Yeah you were,
you were, That was Adair. I was nine years old. Man,
I didn't know I was there. Yeah, you shouldn't have

(27:27):
been talking about it in front of.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
A nine year old.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
So yeah, basically I was there. There was a lot
of that, as you can imagine. As you can imagine,
so yeah, it was. It was good seeing the pops.
He's also cut the hair off, which he doesn't look
like Don Nelson anymore, which kind of I know.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Long he's getting.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
More serious about the uh, about climbing back up the
ranks of local and state government.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
So I understand. I got to check on my dad.
He got I guess it's a national haircut like week.
You know, mine's coming up. He's coming up. The Mississippi
mud slide. That baby six six months from when we
started April. So my dad goes to like a little
great Clips or something like. First he wanted to go

(28:14):
to my friend who owns a bootie, like she owns
her own the salon, and then no, it's it's all free.
But he saw who was working there and he's like, yeah,
I wouldn't mind getting my hair cut by her. And
I'm like, Dad, I'm afraid to bring you in there
that you're gonna say something.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Tell me you're not ready for it.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
You're not ready for it. And he goes. But he
goes to Great Clips and he's like he's just got
the classic old man hair, you know, parted on the
one side and just comb over all white, you know,
just classic hair. And he's like goes there and he's like,
I want it short on the sides, and she's like
like a one and I was like, oh god, no.

(28:55):
I was like that's like a and I was like,
it's a high top fade. Don't do that. I was like, Dad,
you need a three or four on the sides. He's
like yeah, I figured that one out. But then I
told him on top, how long would you like it
on top? He's like one inch And I'm like, you
gave yourself a buzz cut, that's correct. Yeah, And He's like,
look like yeah. I was like, you need three inches, Dad,

(29:19):
three inches or four inches. I was like, that's how
you like your hair. I've seen you with this haircut
for forty years, you know, And like he was like, yeah,
I look like a buzz cut right now.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
And I'm like, I'm now imagining your pops with like
a Pat mahomes.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Only if you had curly hair. But I was like, man,
we're gonna I was like, I'm gonna take you into
the barbershop.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Faded up, Let's see report back. I would love to
see the results of the elsewhere around the weekend.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
This was fun.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Friday night, We're sitting on the couch. We're about to
go to my buddies, who I was talking about last
week because his wife had the art piece that was
in the art show over here this weekend, actually sold
and donated it to charity. Yeah charity, very very nice
of her stuff. But we're sitting there Friday night, getting

(30:12):
ready to go out, and all of a Friday evening earlier,
and all of a sudden, the roommates starts getting text
from old high school classmates like Hey, what time are
you getting in and like hey, really looking forward to
seeing you this weekend. It's gonna be so much fun.
And then Steff's says something to me along the lines

(30:33):
of I don't know what they expect, what they're expecting
of me, But multiple high school friends I haven't talked
to in forever just messaged me on Facebook. And I
was like, well, that's weird, Like do you all like,
is there.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Something you know?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Is there like normally.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Something right?

Speaker 2 (30:56):
And so because they messaged her on Facebook she's never
on Facebook? Yeah, and uh, because they messaged her on there,
she got on Facebook for the first time in months.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Her twenty year high school reunion was this weekend.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
As we're sitting there Friday night, she apparently at RSVP'd
back in June and then it just completely forgotten about it.
Which also, I mean, what year did you graduate high school?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Old? One? Oh? Okay, I just let Usually I don't
like to give out that information, but one oh one,
what are you? LG was supposed to say graduation? Oh one, okay?
Oh yeah, because we're all the same here, I'm oh Ford.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Did either one of y'all go to your twenty years?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
We both went to ace bro Perfect. Did you go
to the twenty year, Lawrence.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
No, no, okay, stay strong, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
I feel like I feel like what am I going
to tell him?

Speaker 2 (31:51):
This is one of those differences well and also a
big circle, Jerg, when you grow up in a small
town versus like what was y'all's graduating class was hundreds?
Steph's was three hundred?

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Our graduating class was like twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, I mean a yeah, fair fair uh I The
closest I ever got was is s never hit the
but the iss.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah three days or you get a stint like me
with three weeks. But we had what was it what
was her name, Miss Ramos Rios Rios, Miss Rios was
the coolest eyes like she liked the bad boys. Like then,
like we'd go over there and next door, Researchos, we're
going to hit that three foot bong in the closet.
You got over there and all like the freshmen and

(32:39):
they'd be all like, I'm like, shut up, is scared
to death? Like shut up, you'll get to talk.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I can't I can't imagine being some little, poor, scared
fifteen year old freshman in an ACE classroom with you.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
And it was fair. So we were like we weren't
supposed to be talking, but miss miss Rios is born
off her ass all day anyway, and like I'm in
there for three weeks. I'm like, we're won't be seeing
each other for a while. Yeah, just get used to
this energy not going there and just skip class and
just going the ISS no way.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Willingly, just the irony of choosing to skip class to
go hang out in ISS where you would have been
sent if you got busted for skipping class. I was like,
I don't unstable.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
It is when they were guarding the blue bars and
if you're old school Mac, you know what I'm talking. Yeah,
there you go now.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I it shot my wheels off because the idea of
having your high school reunion any week other than homecoming weekend,
that was. That was where I was like, it's not
even football season yet, what are y'all man?

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Well? Because you have like I had, Like I got
put on that crap for the twenty oh one and
it's a Facebook MacArthur group and they're like, are you
gonna come? Bah blah blah and like and it's like
they're they made a specific group for it, and I'm like,
take me off of the crap.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah, see, And that is the group going to do it.
That's the group that the roommate RSVP two. It's like, hey,
looking forward to see you.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
And that was early June.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Completely forgot about it out there's.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
One person that runs that, and that person I feel
sorry for him.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
What makes it even better.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
They probably got three kids and just hate life. Oh.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Absolutely, they're ready to get away. They're ready for a
weekend back living the nostalgia, back when they thought they
were a badass.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Whether they were no.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
What makes it even funnier to me, the Steph was
their like class historian.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
On top of it, like you had one job. That
was her job.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
You had one job. It's great. But at last we
did not make it to lubb It instead, we instead
we ended up starting the three part Osama bin Laden
American Manhunt series on that it's pretty good. It's actually
pretty good.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
They all just are the same thing.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Okay, this one's different, and I'll tell you why, because
they actually got some very direct interviews with CIA analysts CIA.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Snippets. But like the arc and the way they like
make the show and how they tease it for the
next episode. It's like, yeah, you made six episodes. It's
something that could have gone into two. So that's the good.
This one's three where they just like they're like, could
this have happened? Could this person could have been on that?
Could this person have been on it?

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (35:34):
This person was connected to it? But then all of
a sudden it was who you thought it was in
the beginning whole time.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yea, the you're describing a dateline episode, that's what they are. No, No, No,
this one's actually I would actually, as someone who still
watches way too much Dateline, I would actually suggest if
you haven't watched the The American Manhunt Osama Bin laden
Ones yet, it's well worth your time. The only other

(35:59):
thing I have, Well, we'll do this first. I watched
something else last night, LG.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Do you have this the.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Car chase out in LA I asked LG before the
show if he saw it. He said no, did you
catch any of this last night?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
No? Okay.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
The only reason I caught it live. This started to
go down about ten thirty eleven o'clock our time last night,
and worldwide.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Wob Rob, the.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
NBA personality, I guess he anytime there's a car chase
in LA he goes live on Twitch. Great bit one
of my like I watch his I watch his twitch
more than anybody else because it's just a great bit
and he does it where it's like it's like it's GTA.

(36:47):
So he assigned star levels. As the chase continues to go.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Oh classic, this was a star was.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
The first full six star chase of the entire years,
blinking everything. Yeah, and buddy when I it's not there's
gotta be some deaths in there. No, no, I don't
think reported deaths. There were some shots fired, guns drawn.
But it doesn't have sound, so you can just play

(37:16):
it over the background. You can check it out. So
these started out in a truck and they're getting chased.
It's two guys. They end up actually, I think they.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Started eighteen wheeler.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Okay, so this is where so they went from the
truck to they boxed in an eighteen wheeler. It's a
milk tank truck. Yeah, driving the wrong way in an
eighteen wheeler, I.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Think you get a lot more milk, a lot bigger
tank for some milk that's like that looks like a.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
It's California milk.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
It's all skinned.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Excuse you don't get it's all lactose.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
You don't get.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Proper proper country, whole milk out there.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Oh buddy, Now he gets into a regular truck. Yeah, okay,
so he jumps out of that milk truck and gets
into like a Chevy.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, now is that that's when he's in the white truck.
So what ends up happening is they start you know,
obviously you're not getting away from the cops and an
eighteen wheeler, but it allowed gave the underpass just like
g T a good job.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Blocking the helicopter view.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
But what they do with the truck they leave, the
truck becomes a ghost truck and they start to let drive.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
So exactly exactly ghost whip.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, so the truck becomes a ghost truck. Meanwhile they
have escaped on foot underneath the uh underneath the overpass
crafty So as of right now, still uncaught.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
They got away. That is something.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Insane, not not to not to apply encourage or encourage it,
but I encourage creativity. But when someone when someone gets
away and with that level of engineerity, the intelligence.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
The stars went down. It's worth I thought there, I
thought he actually is gonna put the stars on there.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Well his twitch stream that was that was just a
clip from UH from the Live news face good. Yeah,
his uh, his twitch feed was pretty funny last night.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
That was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
It might be because it, you know, as they were
progressing along their route, it was.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
At first it was like, oh, these guys are idiots.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
They're taking an eight team, and then it was like wait,
hold on, and at one point it looked like they
had someone had stashed another vehicle for them. Yeah, so
they stopped and immediately were in less than like exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Yo, I'm coming about sixty on four to twenty one. Man,
put your whip right there, get out there. I won't
be there in ten minutes. I'm gonna keep them chasing.
Oh man, you got me ideas now.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
No, it was that was that was quite a bit
of fun watching Live last night. The only other thing
I had from the weekend I got yelled at by
a stranger again. Uh, it's been a while, it's been about.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I don't consider what I did a big deal whatsoever,
but there is some part of me that can understand
the strangers anger towards me for doing it. So I
want to I want to present an unbiased case to
the two of y'all and tell me if I'm crazy,

(40:26):
or if I'm just the a hole here, because I
I kind of fear I.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Already know the answer.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
So it's hot as balls, as we all know a
very scientific terms. Finally hot, it's finally august heat. Finally
that's correct. And uh So this day I happened. I
was wearing jeans because we were about to go eat dinner.
I try to look presentable every now and then I

(40:54):
had to stop and get some gas. So I stopped
at the pump, get out of the vehicle, and I
start pumping gus just like I said, just pumping gas,
pumping away. All of a sudden, the guy right next
to me yells, you idiot, your car still running, and

(41:17):
I lit it without hesitation. I go yeah, and just
turned back around like I thought that was gonna be
the end of it. I didn't think it was.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
You idiot.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, he first insulted you. Yeah, but it says, say, hey,
you forgot to turn your car.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
I could understand, because they're insulting a stranger when you
think your life is in danger. I don't feel like
he was the kind to just like he wasn't in
It didn't seem like he was the angry teed up
guy that's always looking for conflict. Like it was more
of a like, hey, you idiot, your car still like
he's paying, you know, like not as like harsh towards me.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
But definitely bunker for definitely.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
So that was my question. Am I the only one
that every now and then still pumps with the car running?

Speaker 1 (42:05):
It's nothing? I usually, well, if it's hot outside and
I'm wearing jeans and a dress shirt, yeah I'll get
back in the car.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
That's exactly what I did.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I usually go inside and get like a water, like
I give the gas station their money because that's where
they make their money. Fair. But yeah, I'm like, I
don't know, man.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
I didn't think I was so far out of line,
But after running it by a couple of people throughout
the weekend, every single response I got was, yeah, you're
an idiot. Why would you do that because it's hot?
What do you mean it's not gonna blow up? NASCAR
do it every weekend.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
So it was your response.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
So I just said yeah and turned around like it
was nothing, and you said that was not the end
of it, no, because then he started launching into do
you understand how dangerous this is for everybody?

Speaker 1 (42:56):
And I was like it.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
And at that point I led with it's not like
I'm smoke a cigarette, like would you want me to.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Do that too?

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Like, because that's it's like you want to talk about
real danger.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Like then I was like, we don't have carburetors anymore.
There there's there's pieces of the car that used to
have like open flames where the fumes could get on.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
And that's even funnier to me because when I grew up,
like my grand I never watched my grandpa never one
time turned the car off when he got gassed.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Oh he's a rebel.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Well, and it was every single vehicle he was driving
had a carburetor, had a fuel.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Like some of it like the older cars I almost say,
like the forties or fifties, like the spark plugs were
like exposed or something. Yeah. No, And there's like there's
white like the AC whenever the AC clicks on and off,
like the little pilot light will go on.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
That's a wi yeah yeah again like if it if
it's a nineteen fifties roadster, sure yeah, but I uh,
if your car was built after the year two thousand,
I think you're safe to pump out again. When a
when a gas station blows up because somebody pumped gas
without turning the car off.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
I don't want to be held liable. Now, what is
there a sign? Just be like, I think there's always
the sign.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
The signs are still up there that say don't get
don't open your door, don't get back into your car,
becaustatic electricity, or don't don't buckle your belt seat because
it could the metal could cause us. Like they're all
it's all nanny state absurdities.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
I don't think I'm that crazy. Well, I wouldn't have
some wouldn't have called you an idiot. I would have
been like, hey, dumb ass.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Dumb ass or idiot. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure which is worse.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, uh no, I mean he probably looked at you
and just been like, this hippie doesn't know what he's doing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
I definitely got that level of you know, this kid
doesn't this guy doesn't even know how to pump gas exactly.
Like it definitely felt like it was more of a uh.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
Yeah, stereotype you were you were you were stereotype sir,
you were classified in some and as for my weekend
I might be stereotype correctly, give.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Me a minute on the clock. On the clock. The Yankees.
We can't get our crap together.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Man, I'm in the club.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Oh man. Uh, we go one out of two in Houston,
very winnable games. We just our relievers aren't coming through.
Our bats are just nonexistence, Judge, I mean he's fighting injury.
But we do have life today. Our rookie pitcher worn

(45:50):
is throwing a gym. We have hope as one. Aaron
Boone always says, we're right there. We're about to turn
the corner. We're getting healthy, but we have yet to
see the proven in there. And we are now the
last team in the wildcard spot. Not as worse as

(46:11):
some of Worse's other teams, but we'll get to the Yeah,
we're in. It's not much good to say other than
we've won twenty seven championships and y'all haven't so suck it.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah, that's uh, you know, you know when you're bringing
up the twenty seven championships. It hasn't been a good
week since the last time we checked in. You mentioned
y'all are holding on to that last wild card spot.
It's not even my Rangers that are the team behind you.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
They got swept by the Phillies over the weekend and
allowed the Cleveland Guardians to now climb into that spot.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Despite sneaky the sneaky good.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah, despite half their team being under federal investigation for gambling.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
How is that possible? Okay, maybe that's why they like
they weren't in like a lean their division is because
because they think because they were gonna make our money
first and then we're gonna get in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yeah, I uh, you know, we're starting to get to
the point. What is it forty like forty forty four
forty five games left in the season.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Now, Yeah, it's crunch time.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Yeah, there are you know, a two and a half
game deficit in the wild card standings.

Speaker 6 (47:27):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (47:28):
And starting and how is your strength to schedule? I
know that Yankees have like the third best. I mean,
we're like third easiest strength to schedule whenever we started
in August. Yeah, I would assume like we played some
cupcake teams.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
I would assume the Rangers was probably pretty middle of
the road because they got uh, you know, they're playing
the d Backs tonight losing as we broadcast, they look
like they.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
I mean one home run right now from who your
boy Langford? You back in baby, Yeah, don't hold your
breath on that.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
It's this rematch of the twenty twenty three World series.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Oh what is that? Don't hold your breath? What kind
of drop is that?

Speaker 2 (48:16):
It sounded like it sounded like a space space ghost.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Breaking news drop? Okay.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Shout out to Wes Harkins, who just bought an accessory
off the Amazon.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Which, thank you, Wes man.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Si that Wes. Supposedly it arrives tomorrow. Gotta love that
Amazon logistics.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Hey, buddy, got some actually have some West related content
in the Lightning round. Wes is a proper Texan himself,
loves a local class of.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Eighty eight out of Judson doesn't mind having his info
out there. I taught it, Judson. The kids are wild.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
I like the breaking news out I feel like we
need to freak me out.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Yeah. I know. Well that's as it.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
I mean, it served its purpose then, if it gave
if it caused us both to stop down unexpectedly.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Yeah, well we need man, Thank you, Wes, dude. That's
that's awesome. I feel like we need more random breaking
news now, just like oh, breaking news guess what's up.
I was like, I don't know if you want to
get to what I watched over the weekend before after, I.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Don't want to talk about the Rangers are bad. It's
I'm about ready. Uvaldi was the last hope and he
gave up three home runs in the first three innings
to until they do good.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
I don't really don't want to talk. I had to
turn off the TV for the Yankees, like the.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Rangers have had two good weeks all season?

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Yeah, and I can't say much. We had a great
two months.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
I can't get my hopes up. Oh my god, why
it did just crush that?

Speaker 1 (49:47):
You called it? Oh? Look at you? Look at you?
Look at you, baby, look at that. Look at Wes.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
All of a sudden, we get breaking news. West buys
something off the.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Amazon wish list. Teenth home run the Sea's.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Predicted Wyatt Lane for three run home run. Okay, you
know what, let's talk some more baseball now.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
He's one today. You know nice? What else? You did?
Watch me some Bill maher Man, Love me some Bill maher.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
They're still still full Bill.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Oh, I love Bill maher Man. He keeps it real, dude.
He gives both sides to get asked you and they
both need you know what I'm saying. I liked Uh,
He's never he's never turned coded on his convictions.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
It does feel, though, slightly like he has leaned harder into.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
They're they're trying like he he talks about he talks
about it like the rights trying to champion him more.
But it's only because the left has gone weirder and
weirder and weirder that makes it easy out their main subjects.
Like they talked more about environmental stuff than you know,
transgender kids, and like they're taking the bait, you know
what I'm saying, but they're a good way to put it,

(50:53):
they're also feend into it, so it's like it's easier
to make fun of him. He's a comedian at heart,
Like he's that's his job. He's like, if you give
me the material, I'm going to talk about it, you know,
And he's at in most of the times. It was
during George Bush he had a lot of material. You know.
Obama didn't give him much, you know, but central Yeah,

(51:16):
and he did wear a tan suit.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Remember when a political scandal was a vice president adding
an e to the end of Potato at an elementary
school spelling bee, like when dan Quell misspelled like simpler,
simpler times?

Speaker 6 (51:32):
What was?

Speaker 1 (51:33):
What was? So he basically went on his final tangent,
is what I've been talking about for so long about
our ai overlords. Oh god, they blow smoke up your
ass if I asked one question so much when they
when they sit there and you ask chat to your
petizzle something. It doesn't have to be hey, great question

(51:57):
or nice topic, and like it's so it just makes
you and like and then he started talking about everything.
Is it like the audible crap where it's like, oh,
you're doing so great. I just learned how to say bibliotecha, man,
come on, give me a break, you know, And it's
just all constant positive reinforcement and how it's drifting onto

(52:20):
our youth where like I've seen it with my own
kid where it's like, well you don't you don't give
me enough positive reinforcement, And I'm like, you did what
you're supposed to do, bro, Like do I need to
tell you good job after everything you do? You ain't
billy as that, Yeah you ate a great meal? How

(52:40):
about that? Here's a five? You know? But this is
what the AI overlords are teaching our kids and stuff
like that. And now what was it you got? Uh,
it's just that the constant ass kissing from it bugs
the crap out of me because it's a it's doing
it to it's a it's a it's a mind control thing.

(53:02):
It's it's a way to sit there and brain brainwash
you positive reinforcement. Think of the ape, do this, get
the A, I get a treat, do this boom. We
can teach anybody that. We can take a teach a
dog to sit on command with little treats. That's positive
reinforcement and we brain control them to do what we want.

(53:24):
And we don't need that with humans. With humans, nah, No,
there needs to be a little ass kissing and then
it loves me like ass kicking. Like if I watched
like what was it one of his examples, Hey does
a carrot? Uh? Does a baby carrot have a father carrot?
And it's like chat g pittizzl will be like great question. No,

(53:46):
it needs to be like you freaking dumb ask what
kind of question you? Thank God you brought it to
me before you brought to everybody.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
You basically you basically want chat. You want AI to
be like a boomer dad want a guy to uncle?
That just put you in If you want to be humanokie, if.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
You want to be human and you ask me something stupid,
I'm gonna be like, that was a stupid question. What
are we talking about? You know what I'm saying? And
now what was it? Annie is Musk new AI the
female version and she's an anime cartoon, little little girl
with big old titter and all that, and she's over

(54:27):
there ass kissing thing and it's like it's basically warping
boys minds, Like and I know what Musk is doing
to try to get them to not be gay. You
know what I'm saying, because you know how much he
does not like the community and whatnot. And then like
Google AI says it has a depression problem. What does

(54:47):
that even mean?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I don't know Google AI is depressed?

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Google If you ask AI how you feeling today, I'm depressed?

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Okay, that doesn't Yeah, yeah, okay, you found you found
an angle where I don't have a whole lot to come.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
There was a story it was last year.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
There was a teenager in it was either like Alabama
or Georgia, I think, And there was a AI chat
bot that was one of the characters from Game of Thrones,
one of the hot chicks from Game of Thrones, and
it was her like AI chat bot and you paid
a monthly subscription.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
To have her be your girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Yeah, exactly, be your AI companion, right, kids say now
that they would have an AI girlfriend boyfriend. So this
kid ended up telling the AI chat bot like, you know,
I'm depressed, I'm down, And the AI chatbot of this
character from Game of Thrones ended up convincing the kid
come join.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Me in the and he is.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
He is no longer with us, and it was a massive,
massive lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
I remember.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
So this is I say that, like I this episode
of somewhat serious this They brought that up because this
episode of Bill Maher actually had two great hosts on
that could be on both sides of the spectrum.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
But they agreed with eighty percent of their views. Was
doctor phil and Steven A. Smith. What you need to do?
Call yeah, because you just because you talk real fast
doesn't mean you're right, you know, And of course you
know Steven A. Smith's going off, but like he's just like,

(56:32):
should people take therapy questions? Therapy advice from a.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
You're doing a really poor job. I was somewhat interested
in it, but now that you're telling me it's doctor
Phil and Steven A.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Smith. It was good. This someone was good.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
I can't think of two people I would rather, But.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
Did you have Bill hard Bill Maher there? Bill Maher
made He's the glue that makes it good? It was.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
It was a Florida It was a Florida fourteen year
old and the mom ended up suing the It was
a denarious chat.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
So there's just so many problems. It's it's making the
kids not like, oh, I can just sit here and
talk to my AI and be mentally stimulated while it's
blown smoke up my ass the whole time thinking I'm
the greatest thing since sliced bread, instead of being like, no,
you're a socially awkward little twerp. Yeah you need to.
I think they know that. That thinks they know everything.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Have some social experiences to a just your perspective.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Yeah, exactly, Like until you go out to the real
world and realize everybody's looking at you weird and you
can get your ass kicked for saying something stupid.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
As again as to go back to get as kicked
that's what burning back say.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
But all right, so that was that's where it kind
of like, you know, man, that just just grinds my
gears and then maybe a little teaser are produced. Overlord
scared the ship out of me with some uh Ai
little pictures that he sent from us from our Colorado

(58:07):
Wu Tang trip and I was like, I didn't do that,
and he's like, no, that's all Ai, And I'm like,
but one of them was freaky. He was like I
was a dog or something. Yeah, he was.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
He was showing we might have to play some of
those Wednesdays.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Like I literally dropped my phone. Dude. I was like,
what the I thought I thought? I was like, I
thought I was having a mental stroke or something.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
That's kind of what it looked like, because I was like,
you look like you had the rage virus, like you
were a zombie.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
I'm like, dude, this is not fun. Like who was
be like, hey, this is awesome. OLG thinks it's awesome
because he sends it to me and laughs. I feel
like we gave up.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
We gave up on, you know, the the mental wellbeing
of society when we let social media run rampant, Like.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Hey, id a nightmare of that.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Last exponentially is that you know exponentially, So that's right,
just prepare your again.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
I can't trust my eyes because literally one of them
is just laughing in the elevator and I know we
were all maybe partaking with totally legal marijuana. Was I
was like, and it's all of us laughing, and I'm like,
we weren't laughing, but we were all like little tipsy
and high, and He's like, no, that's just a yeah,
there's like.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Some of the there's a great Black Mirror episode, because
there's a great Black Mirror episode about everything about you know,
re like bringing back to life old memories, old yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Keep those locked away. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
I don't need to take a still image from nineteen
seventy and having like played in real very freak very
very creepy. But again, I think you're gonna lose that battle.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
I am losing it, dude, and I'm gonna lose my
mind and I'm going to shoot the drones and I'm
going to do it all.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Going back to our conversation last week, You're gonna end
up being the unibomber.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
But just against I'm buying my own property. Dude, I'm
getting the bunkers. I didn't want to be this guy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
Bailing packages to data centers like the one they're gonna
build in my hometown.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna catch that drone and
put a little bomb on it and just like send it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Back good allegedly good legend.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Yeah, I'll take one out of the sky.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
You want to do some cow notes before we get
into the main cyche. We've been going for an hour here, Yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I mean we're not going We're not We're not going
to break down preseason football.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
First of all, it was barely anybody the starters, but
we're sincing Jay uh oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
Borrow actually played like ten snaps and everybody was freaking
out of us because that's absurd.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
But also they have a horrible start in the last
three years exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
You can't start one in four, one in three and
crawl out of that hole every year.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Yeah, one in five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
The other end of that spectrum, though, is what the
Cowboys did, where only three of their top thirty players.
It's actually it was five of their top thirty two
played in that game. Yeah, but two of those five
were Aubrey and Anger the kicker and punter, So you
can't even count them. Three of their actual player no

(01:01:32):
offense to the specialists, but three of their actual players
of their top thirty played in the game.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
And to make it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Even worse, Tyler Booker, the first round pick out of Alabama,
the guard. He was the only first round draft pick
from this most recent draft that was a healthy scratch
in Week one. So the Cowboys like, and I understand,
you don't want to get the guy hurt because you

(01:02:01):
don't have anything behind the guy. You've already given a
rookie a starting job. It worked great with Tyler Smith,
it didn't work so well with Tyler Gydon. You're doing
it again with Tyler Booker. I would I understand your
quarterback like Joe Burrow playing ten snaps. I think that
is equally as ridiculous as your first round twenty one

(01:02:24):
year old offensive lineman playing zero snaps like that. I
want to see, like, we know what you did at
out of Amba last year.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
But Denshaw's like left tackle. Then he go down Tyler
d and now it looks like Philly's right guard. Yeah,
he's he looks like he might he's got a meniscus. Yeah,
he's still I was really looking for options to make
sure that he's trying not to be out for the season,
but get a little a little worried when your lineman

(01:02:55):
start going down.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Yeah, landon Dickerson there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Yeah, and that was that practice.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
The they're saying with Dickerson though, he's still a minor
procedure week to week, so they were still aiming looking
at opening night managing the injury instead of full blown
of course. Yeah, but I I mean again, we talked
about it last week.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
The the list of.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
You know, Cowboys quarterbacks drafted since Quincy and one and
it was one, two, three, four, four four. Their Cowboys
have drafted four quarterbacks since Quincy in two thousand and one.
Uh Now, Joe Milton is the new project the Cowboys season.
If that gets hurt, it's over anyway. So I'm not

(01:03:47):
again sitting at the bar on Saturday night hearing first
of all, god football, you know, full football crowds are
back at the bars even though it's preseason, which also.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
It's so bored after like the first series.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
I just couldn't I couldn't believe, you know, sitting there
in the third quarter people still like you could hear
audible crowd reactions of oh, like you're you're still living
this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
This guy's gonna be cut. This guy's getting cut.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
These guys are gonna be bagging groceries.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
In three weeks. You might see him on a special
team's play, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Yeah, I literally heard a guy about halfway through the
second quarter tell his buddy at the table next to us, man,
I really thought Joe Milton was gonna push Dack this year.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
But it just doesn't look like it just doesn't look
like that's gonna happen. And again, I'll tell you one thing,
what was it, Mac Jones? We should have picked Mac
Jones instead of Trey Lance. I'm not saying I'm glad
we went to the route we did because we got
Brock one Brock Daniel Purty, but you know, mac Jones
looked good, and of course he threw it to the

(01:04:59):
wide receiver who was the standout in uh practice who
caught a fifty yard bomb right in the pocket in
between two defenders. And but now he's out with a
high ankle spring, so he's probably not gonna be ready
for the first game either.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Yeah, I just there's again, wake me up on September
three so I can get ready for September fourth. I've
watched those injuries. But also I want to see the rookie.
I want to see if you're under twenty five, I.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Want to see the rookies.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
I want to see you play some snaps like there's not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Like my rookie. You got to learn. Nick Martin was
so underwhelming. He saw his speed, but it's just his
horrible routes on like the passing routes, this horrible decision
making was just you can tell that he did not
play last year, and I hope that changes because he
was supposed to be a replacement for Drake Greenlaw, which

(01:05:57):
ain't he ain't that? Ain't that? But we did we
did put up a touch, We did put up a
toddy against uh Didver's first first team. They played all
their all their defenders.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Do you put any stock into that though, because they're
not even game planning. I mean there's no install, there's
no weekly install for these games.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
It's all if my second's gonna be your first, I'm
I'm happy, yeah, But again, I feel.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Like it's the same way when a split squad team
in spring training lights up an ace and it's like, Okay,
what what did we really learn here? I don't think
there's a whole lot you can take away whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
You got coaches among coaches as like, well was it?
Of course I listened to more nine ers or anything.
Like Kyle Shan's like, oh, did you know about this
guy Upton Stout and blah blah. He's like, well, he's
been brought up in a couple of meetings. The lines
of coach been talking about him, and it's like they
have a one coach is watching like four people, so

(01:07:02):
like that's how they're getting evaluated. His one coach is
watching four people at every position. You got a linebackers coach,
the cornerback coach, safety coach, you know, lineman coach, defensive
all over, Robert solid coach.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
And then I keep forgetting y'all brought bomb solid back.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Oh man, that's so good. Yeah that helps. And then
they go all come on and they start to talk
to Kyle Shannon and he's just got to sit there
and trust them until he starts seeing them blowing plays.
You know, like our line our left tackle that was
our backup for Trent Williams.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
But this, this is cal notes. What are we doing
talking nights? Realize? I just realized because I'm looking at
my run sheet. I'm like, where is the forty nine
Ers preseason recap?

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
No, there's nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
There's nothing to talk about with preseason football outside of
injuries or random if you want to talk about, like
do you want to do five minutes on Phil Maffa's
blitz pick up?

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
No, no, I don't, like, let's see the fish.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Was just basically saying there's nothing that we as a
fan could sit there and break down as much as
these position coaches can and know that, Hey, did you
bring from practice what we've been practicing? Did you show
it on the field? Did you capitalize on the plays
that you should have done because we practiced them? You know? Yeah?

(01:08:26):
And that's that's the only info you're going to get
with these preseason games.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
That's literally the only I mean, you're not getting anything
out except randomly. Every now and then you'll see like
a like a return specialist guy or something and you're like, oh,
he's actually maybe got something, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Like and he used to be a lot harder back
in the day. I remember when ray Rice came out
and he had I forget maybe Jamal Anderson was still there,
but it was in his later days. But he had
like he made like two or three good plays in
the preseason game, and I was like, huh. And I
took him on a flyer, on a fantasy thing at

(01:09:06):
the very end of the draft, end up taking the
starting job and end up beasting his rookie year. And
I won that draft. And that's the only reason why
I remember him, you know what I'm saying, because I'm
like ray Rice, this, even that little flyer I took.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Like, now, when there's only three preseason games, yeah, the
first one, it's the whole combination of guys that aren't
close to making the roster playing the majority of the
second half. The third one, you're not playing anybody because
you don't want to risk injury. So really, if you're

(01:09:43):
gonna take anything away from any of the preseason games,
the second one is about all you got.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
And even then, I.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
Still don't like, it's just it's Dak's gonna be healthy,
Dak's not gonna play. CD was the only highlight. CD
was the only highlight from how.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Do we have that highlight? So do we have the
highlight cut up there?

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
L g it uh Cowboys, Cowboys?

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
This thing up as we look at CD Lamb on
the sidelight.

Speaker 7 (01:10:18):
Yeah, this happened right in front of you. Lamb was
celebrating Jonathan Bingle getting behind his defender. He was so
excited he jumped in front of an official.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
And the official ran over CD lem on the sidelight.
That's where the penalty comes in. When he was off
the side was outside of the box.

Speaker 7 (01:10:38):
That's being penalized here for the Cowboys sideline in fraction.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
Yeah, that would have been very Cowboys to have. You're
not playing any of your starters to avoid injury, and
then you had you lose a starter for the year
because he crashes into a ref on the side.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
You know, it kills me most is like an ou
that turns a cowboy. It just makes my blood boil.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
I as soon as they put that star on, I
tend to forget what college they went to, because, yeah,
CD was a longhorn killer in college. The Okay, you
know what something you can take from preseason when your
kicker kicks a seventy yard field goal, Jackson, Yeah, at

(01:11:21):
sea level with very little wind. Like if Brandon Aubrey
had gone out there kicked a seventy yard field goal,
I would say that's a good like, that's a good
sign for the regular season.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
I don't think Jacksonville is an easy place to kick, No,
not at all.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
You know it's yeah, it's ocean moist, ocean air, that
moish dance air, ocean air.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Very moist out there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Yeah, what's the kid's name, Cam Little? Cam Little hits
a seventy yard But of course it doesn't count because
it's pre season.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
But I've had this call him out there for a
seventy yard game winner? Why not? Why not?

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
See, I've had this theory for a while when every
position on a football field we've seen get bigger, faster, stronger,
every single position, to the point of a stretcher getting
called onto the field every single game. Like did you
see the Lions preseason game when they had the I

(01:12:19):
think it was Lions Falcons And there was a guy
that got injured and looked like it was a spine,
some sort of spinal or you know, injury like that
on a kickoff, and so what they did the very
next play, they just hiked the ball and then neither
team played the down, so the clock kept running. The

(01:12:39):
ball was not only there were twelve minutes left in
the game. They just snapped the ball and put it
down on the ground and both teams agreed not to
go for it and just run the twelve minutes out.
A pretty ball or move.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
I didn't even know that. I'll find the trying to
promote that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
Crap the NFL. The league hates that because they're charging
regular season prices for those tickets to preseason games.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
What about those advertisers going and want their money back. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
But you know, out outside of every other position getting bigger, faster, stronger,
kickers seemingly have just gotten more accurate. Like we've you know,
the record, you know, sixty three, like Jason Elam was
kicking it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
Now we're what was it?

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
I think Tucker now technically has the record, right, sixty
five or something like that, but it hasn't moved.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
A whole whole lot zerline. Did line get it? Someone's
got a sixty seven? No?

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Was this?

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Uh? Is it sixty seven?

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Sixty six?

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
Tucker sick?

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Is Tucker in sixty six?

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
I thought two people had it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
He some else Matt Prater had sixty four.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Okay, sixty four was the multiple one, but Tucker got
the sixty six and so before he got canceled for
getting the mandies. Yeah, before he went through route with Sean.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
But kickers have just gotten more accurate for the most part,
Like that number hasn't moved a lot. I do think
as you've seen, like the punters now half the punters
in the league are Australian rules football guys rugby punters
that you know. The kickers like Brandon Aubrey was a
stud All American soccer player at Notre Dame, drafted first

(01:14:31):
round by Toronto FC, exclaimed out of soccer and just
picked up kicking field goals on a whim.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Hadn't done it since high school. There's so much computers
and sports medical knowledge how to like strengthen that ligament
and how to bend it right. And this is to
get a better How do I get a better? And you, yeah,
you got someone over there doing like damn calculus and stuff,
trying to be like, well, if he puts his an

(01:15:00):
for a little bit at this angle, you should get
a little about zero point seven more momentum.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
We used to have linemen kicking like now, like there's
he had so much room for for progress still with
the you know, kicking position coach Reid kicking the old
pass kick. Yeah, I just I've said for a while
a couple of years now, like the last really big

(01:15:26):
jump in NFL. I guess like individual position development, I
do think seventy yard field goals are going to get
to the point where a seventy yarder is like a
sixty yarder, where it's like they're gonna we know, our
guy has the less gonna make it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
He is, he's gonna go like this. What I think
they're gonna do is gonna keep the field goal like
it is, but they're gonna make it two points. But
if you want that three points, an even more center
is gonna be four of them like a fork.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
A little gimmicky, but it make it like like the
arena football is real thin upright, because.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
It's only because it's only a fifty yards.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
Well also, it's like the Australian League football. They have
the exactly like you're describing. There's there's a wide one
and then there's one in the middle. The one in
the middle is worth six. The ones on the side
are only worth one. That's how they get to their
seven increments of seven.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Like we play.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
I just think seeing a dude kick a seventy.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
Yard field goal, it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
It's pretty crazy. But in five six years it's not
going to be I don't think it's gonna be at
because again that is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
It should be like five kickers out kind of the last.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Yeah, Like I think Brandon Aubrey could kick a seventy
yarder right now, and I think he's got the legs
year also got the.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Leg for it, but I do not. I wouldn't count
on him hidden it Moody that we spend a third draft,
third round draft.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Anytime you're drafting specialist to begin with.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
Yeah, crap, only one, only one kicker got drafted, because again,
there's so many out there that just like.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
The best kicker in the NFC last year didn't kick
a field goal from high school all the way to
the USFL the year before you joined the Cowboys, Like,
you can find these guys in way more creative ways
now versus what kicking such a golf.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
Thing where it's like you know, it's just it's in
your head, it's in your head.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
And at least the ones under you know, like anything,
if you miss under fifty at that's pure mental or
bad like heavy wind or wet or conditions.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
Yeah. Yeah, And I love how they make it harder
for the college kickers but not the NFL kickers. It
always made me like, why.

Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
How do they make it harder for the college kickers.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Well, the hash marks are for so it's more of
an angle. Yeah, you're kicking. To me, that seems harder,
you know. You gotta like, yeah, that makes sense. It
would be I never if I can go back.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
I've got a buddy who jokes about it all the time,
and he's got unfortunately, well not unfortunately. He loves his kids,
but he had old daughters, so he for you, yeah,
because they're not gonna end up following in his dream
another girl. He wants he wishes he could go back

(01:18:22):
and just do nothing. But like he was at All
State running back or not like all really he was good.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
These are going to waste, but he could.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
He wishes he could go back and just practice nothing
but long snapping. Yeah, and just be a long snapper. Yeah,
played twenty you know, twelve thirteen.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Eight years in the league. If I had another kid
or like like I have a step son, but like like, oh,
I loved it when all the coaches whenever he played football,
they all came up to me, which one's your boy?
And I'm like, is he over here? But he's my
step son? Wrong. Genetics are like, oh, swy every year

(01:19:04):
and I'm like, in every sport they always like gravitate.
They always end up because you got the first meeting
with the coaches where they tell you everything that you
have to like what's coming up for the season and
middle school, high school and all that stuff. And I
always made him do something, you know, competitive, you end
up doing jiu jitsu, which he loved more than anything,
which I'm happy for that. Man, Hey, dude, jiu jitsu

(01:19:26):
is a great sport. And but like all the coaches
would come up to me like right after it, dude,
because they see my big ass up there, just six
foot five, just looking like alignment, and they're like, which
one's your boy?

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
I hate to break it time.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
I'm sorry, Unfortunately you are not going to be able
to stringer. I'll be your third stringer, but he will,
he will listen to you, a.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Real coach on the field type first one in last
one out.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Great team chemistry, guy, no always talking. I'm like, listen
to the coaches man.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Oh no, no, I'll let chat GPT teach me everything
I need to know about breaking a cover two.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
That was a good that was a good decision. But
let's see how we can make it better.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
Yeah, let's get to Do you know off top of
your head who the Niners play in their next preseason?

Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
Hey, I don't even I don't know that. I don't
know the Cowboys. Buddy, again, it's the preseason. Get ready
for a bunch of more, Joe Milton.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
I did want to get into before we get into
the main segment. We did have some PGA this weekend.
Oh that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the FedEx Cup starts
and that in This was the round of seventy seventy
of the top players played and only fifty advanced to

(01:20:50):
the next one. And there was out in Memphis, Tennessee,
where I am very familiar with. Used to go out,
used to go out there all the time with my
dad working in the car lots, and I had to
do lot washing. If any of you ever know a
lot washing is, you know what pure hell is fun?
And when you're next to a Mississippi river in the summertime,

(01:21:13):
that ninety four feels like one hundred and fourteen. I
will take a one hundred and seven all day with
no humidity instead of a ninety four with eighty percent humidity,
especially when you're spraying them on hot cars and standing
between them. It is a sauna, a wet sauna. And yes,
I died every day for about you know, four years,

(01:21:35):
every day, But that when they went out there, Man
Fleetwood one, Tom Fleetwood. Man, this man cannot buy himself
a PGA win. He has one, not on a PGA course.
But he's elusive and he is choking every chance he gets.

(01:21:57):
He keeps getting closer and closer. He could not like,
he couldn't miss the hole, and he couldn't make a
bogie to save his life in the first two rounds,
the first two days and the last two days he
couldn't make a par or birdie to save his life,
and he basically squandered the lead. But then we had
old Scottie Schefflers. Oh he man, he fizzled out at

(01:22:23):
the end the last he started going up the ranks.
And this is when it's usually Scheffler time greatest iron
like the greatest iron player on tournament right now.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
With a backup caddy, backup caddy.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
Normal caddy had to leave. He was doing his own
yardage some emergency or something. But you know, he's still
the point leader in FedEx. That's where you win the
overall FedEx tournaments. But we had a playoff which was
if y'all watched it, man, it was thrilling. This playoff

(01:22:55):
was thrilling. We had one JJ spawn in Justin Rose,
year old Justin Rose and I think twenty six JJ spawn.
I think he's a little older than that now and
we remember JJ because he won the PGA Championship.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
JJ is up to thirty four now.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
JJ thirty four. Okay, so he got on when he's
like but he's part of the young He's part of
the Speithon Rory crowd and stuff like that. So he
was the ones that were behind the old ones like
VJ Seingh, you know, Mickelson, Tiger. Justin Rose is a
part of that and they man, dude, they had it

(01:23:34):
cooking on the last like when they before the playoff,
they both birdied sixteen and seventeenth to get up there.
Just lifted out birdies on the eighteenth or like, what
was it? Justin Rose had a putt to win it
in regulation, just missed it, and so then they keep
everybody at eighteen and JJ spond's in the three wood

(01:23:59):
every time, and he's always leaking it right over in
the rough, flirting with the bunkers, and Justin Row was
pulling out the big dog, flirting with the water on
the left, and his first playoff hole missed the water
by about five feet, yeah, and kind of fell back
in where he almost fell in on the swing. But

(01:24:23):
he puts it what he puts it what ten feet
away from the hole? Yeah, I think eight feet and
JJ put it about thirty And we thought I thought
I saw another PGA Championship putt, because I swear that
putt was going in. He damn near holds it. Same
thing with Justin Rose. So they go back do it again,
almost the exact same thing without but they both hit

(01:24:45):
great drives right in the middle of the fairway three
wood versus three wood versus driver, so advantage Rose and
JJ puts it in the exact same spot thirty feet away.
Justin puts it in the exact same spot ten feet away.
They barely miss it again, I know that they make it.

(01:25:05):
JJ Spahn makes the thirty footer and then JJ was
now he Justin Rose was just about what five feet away?
So he makes the five footer because I thought that
was game over. So they cut the new hole and
this is where JJ Spahn's been hitting it the whole time.
And he puts it about ten feet away. No drives,

(01:25:27):
both both of them drive it on the fairway, puts
it about ten feet away, and Justin puts it about
the same distance. Man, So you're looking at two ten
foot birdie puts and the one and only Justin Rose
to the occasion.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
Oh God, God, throw your back out.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
Yeah, he rows to the occasion and beat JJ spawn.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Oldest European to win on the PGA Tour in the
modern era.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
And he will be playing. Both of them will be
playing in the Ryder Cup in one month, which is
this year, which is and it will be in the
USA this year.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
And JJ spawns on team USA.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
Yeah, and Justin Rose. I think the who was it?
I forget who the captain is, but he's actually the
captain of the USA team actually qualified Kegan, Yeah, Keigan Bradley,
and he actually is the tenth player to qualify a
great year, so he could play and also pick the matches,

(01:26:38):
which is very rare because usually they have like an
older player that's not playing.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
Well, and usually that doesn't go well when your captain
is playing, even if they have been playing great golf. Yeah,
a couple of the names I saw, Ricky barely slid under,
got in the top fifty, Jordan opposite barely missed right
on the other side of it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
That's like, that's the one thing in FedEx I love.
When it goes from the seventy to fifty to thirty
is like, start out with seventy, he goes on to fifteen,
and then the last one goes to thirty. Is like
all those people just trying to make it to the
next tournament, make it to the next tournament, and like
Ricky was flirting with it for like the last six Yeah,
that was a fun follow on that. And of course

(01:27:23):
I go for Ricky because Oklahoma State's own Ricky Fowler.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
Yeah, I've always liked I feel like.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
He's got the swag out there. Baby.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
I feel like Tommy Fleetwood and Ricky Fowler has a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:27:34):
Of flat bills. Flat builds.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
Yeah, rocking the Puma too. I feel like they have
a lot of career comparisons of constantly being close and
then yeah, throwing rock away on the last round.

Speaker 1 (01:27:48):
Ricky Man for like a couple of years he was
he just lost it all. Yeah, he like he was
like one hundred and tenth or something man barely keeping
his card. So what do we have?

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
One Tour Championship up in two weeks, BMW Championship this weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
This weekend, I believe well, I mean it's they're all
FedEx right, so I don't know if they're calling it
any kind, but it's just where they're going to.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
Be Owings Mills, Maryland. Yeah, at BMW Championship and then
the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
Joja Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
I it would still shock me if Scotty isn't the
last man standing at the end of this.

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
But I just give me some drama. Did you see
you got the FedEx standings right now? Bet it's not
hard to find. I think Justin got up there. I
think JJ might have jumped up to number two.

Speaker 2 (01:28:45):
JJ's three, Justin Roses fourth, and Rory is still sitting
second second. But Scotty's lead is two thousand ahead of
Rory who's in second.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
So still got you got banking on Scotty and not
having a good match man, you might as well take
that money and throw it away.

Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
Yeah, it doesn't feel like I mean, Scotty doesn't have
bad weekends. He has, if anything bad three whole stretches.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Scotty doesn't know how to lose.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
Okay again, your back has got to be sore. Let's
get into the main sega before we get out of here.
We got uh you know I mentioned it at the top,
like talking to my dad last week, and.

Speaker 1 (01:29:34):
He enjoyed those jokes. I'm just saying I loved him.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
Yeah, he you know, talking about some of the small
town politics he's going through and actually talking to multiple people,
uh over the weekend of varying age ranges too, because
I was you know, something like you know, top of
like a topic like Project Marvel. It really does feel

(01:29:57):
like the perspectives can differ drastically based on age, and
you know, perspective through experience. You know people that have
you know, people that were thirty when the Frost Center,
you know at and T was built, people that were
fifty when that was built, and are seventy.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
Now. I like to see the demographic of the geographical
area of where what people think of completely agree, agree
or disagree. I would love to see kind of like that,
which way is leaning. This is the downtown leaning towards.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
No, well, it's it's not hard to see, you know,
some of the socioeconomic splits amongst the city council members
when you look at the ones.

Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
That are more uh cool, more cold.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
To the idea right now, I don't think correct me
if someone correct me if I'm wrong, But it doesn't
feel like anyone has flat out come out and said no,
absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
But there have been varying levels of because they know
tourists you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
Yeah. And that's where before we get into some of
these clips of the mayor talking about it, the you know,
at at the end of the day, as we said,
it's a we're a top ten city in America population wise,
we are barely a top thirty media market. And that

(01:31:25):
is purely because there's no denying data the facts. We're
on the poorer side of the rest of the top
ten cities when it comes to average median income, household income,
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
Which is why.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
To go up a little bit more property, which is
why you know, the social infrastructure, the social welfare infrastructure
of this city is so much more important than in
some other cities, where there is just more money, more abundant,
more opportunity at abundance, more opportunity in climbing to hire

(01:32:07):
socioeconomic status, basically more opportunity to make more money. There's
just not as much. It's just a poor town compared
to cities towns our size are that that have comparable numbers.
And that's where I think.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
It's just because there's were just so big in space.

Speaker 2 (01:32:29):
I mean, that's that goes to and we we're able
to count more people under that umbrella as part of
the city.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
I wonder if I wonder if all the little all
the little cities like Kirby and wind Crest and you know,
well their Castle.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Hills, their own like Alamo Heights.

Speaker 1 (01:32:48):
I wonder how many of those top ten cities have
that in their cities as well. Oh, they have it tenfold.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
Like think of yeah, like think of all of the
like high end suburbs of Chicago, high end suburbs.

Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
Of la the high end. Yeah, I never looked into it, like.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
Highland Park in Dallas and being right in the heart
of North Dallas but its own entity. I mean that
a tale as old as time in America. Are the
richies carving out their own city where they can conduct
their government and their business the way they want to,
and then the rest of us.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
For Kirby exactly the other day, I was like, Oh,
used to be.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Able to still do that in Alamo Heights, which is
why we would always go to the Line Rows or
Broadway fifty to fifty because you could smoke inside.

Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
Look I've gone, I've come full circle on that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
I don't like like, I'm fully against it now you
I like outside, get a little fresh air. But I
say all of that because obviously this is where you know,
two things I thoroughly enjoy, but I like them to
run parallel to each other.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
Politics, Yeah, I have an equal passion for both of
those topics. I hate it when they cross over each other.
I hate it when they intersect because.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
It's always going to intersect when it's all when it's all.

Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
Business, when it's all about money, And that's exactly that's
exactly where you know we now find ourselves in this
project Marvel.

Speaker 6 (01:34:23):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Yeah, the discussions, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:34:25):
The.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
Timeline of what we're what's trying to be accomplished, and
the means in which you have to go through the government.

Speaker 1 (01:34:35):
If they put something out there, the plan I want
them to be. I want that like a hard you
know pause. I want that like a hard date, you.

Speaker 2 (01:34:46):
Know hard d Yes, hard date, Yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes date okay yeah GIF And that's where that's what
you're the one that said pause. There's no need for
that because we're not pausing. We're not uh, what was
the other one?

Speaker 1 (01:35:04):
The what were the things?

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
Yeah? No, no, no, no, Diddy had a whole anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:35:10):
Now I gotta say no. Ray J came out recently
in an interview. He's like, why do you have to
label things with the sexuality? It's probably yeah, probably What
if your guys having sex with your ear, what do
you call them? Yeah, let's let's just who is that
guy a male or female? Or is it two males?

(01:35:30):
I'm just like, come on home, ray J.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
I don't feel like that's the first time he's heard
come on ray j.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
The But when those two things intersect, the sports and politics,
it always leaves you with, you know, a certain section
that is against whatever the.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
They all did the game tagger.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Okay, look at that big boy rounding the basis. We'll
get back to Project Marvel.

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
Look at that tells Rowdy te Lez the Liz that's
about that's about a sixty second walk. Give him time.
He's still not there.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
Yeah, last night I saw this. I saw this tweet.

Speaker 1 (01:36:17):
This was.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
This was actually Saturday, it was. This was the whole tweet.
I think the Rangers might have too many fat guys.
I couldn't I couldn't agree. But when a fat like
that ties up the game and the ninth inning with
a home run, all right, we got to get to
this audio because it's closing in on quarter till ten.

(01:36:42):
The When you have that intersection, you immediately have a
host of people that are going to attack whatever the
political party is holding it up, just based on partisan beliefs,
you know. Just you're going like, well, you get your well,
this is what you this is what you voted for,
this is what you get.

Speaker 1 (01:37:03):
Listen to it, listen to each other.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
And then on the other side you get the people
that say, well business is always bad. Giving incentives or
tax breaks or any kind of free money to billionaires
is never for the greater benefit of the good.

Speaker 1 (01:37:20):
And it's technically they're not wrong, but.

Speaker 2 (01:37:23):
Well, actually technically they are wrong. Like that's exactly urban
development where you have businesses exactly, it's the because the
alternative is you.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
Don't have them anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
And that's that delegate, And that's where I, like you said, and.

Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
We live in reality where even though I don't believe
a billionaire should exist, they're going to do.

Speaker 2 (01:37:44):
They're going to exist, and you've got to be pragmatic
about managing that relationship. And when the spurs are the
biggest quote unquote billionaire, the biggest business, let's just call
them business, the biggest business you have in your top
ten city, be a whole lot of roadblocks unnecessarily to

(01:38:10):
push that relationship to the brink or to even make
And that's where you know, again, when it intersects. I
try to be pragmatic as possible about it because I believe.

Speaker 1 (01:38:22):
Like billionaires, being a billionaire is unethical.

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
Like there's I completely agree with you, but I also
I don't want my city to lose billionaires because I
want my city to grow. I want my city to continue.

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
Even listen, like trickle down economics doesn't really exist. It
will create more job opportunities.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
Yeah, trickle down economics doesn't directly help your salary whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (01:38:48):
It just gives you the opportunity of your city.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
Yeah, and that's where you know. Of course, Mayor Genia
Ortiz Jones Democrats. The amount of Democrat leadership that has
run this city over the last twenty thirty years, the
amount of projects that have gone late, have gone over budget,

(01:39:14):
have been terribly mismanaged. It's very easy to just say, Wow,
that's what you get for voting Democrat. Which, again, like
if you're just saying that about everything, then I don't.
I don't. There's not a whole lot to take away
from that. Yeah, but if you're sighting specific examples of

(01:39:35):
places where.

Speaker 1 (01:39:36):
So let's think about this one specific thing, because this
is like exact paran and this is where this is
like something that's going to help.

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
This is where both parties I think we can all agree,
I would hope and I hope we can all agree
that the mayor of San Antonio should have the best
relationship possible with the Spurs.

Speaker 1 (01:39:55):
In your sentence period period, we are we are Spurs, the.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
Spurs are San Antonio. We are the Spurs. It's a
symbiotic relationship that doesn't need to be yeah, doesn't need
to be ft with, doesn't need to be screwed up.
It doesn't need to have games played, doesn't need to
have you know, the have your cake and eat it
too kind of deal where it's like, well, we're not
going to give you money for an arena because we

(01:40:22):
are a poorer city and we have social inequality. Like
why crazy idea? Maybe I'm the crazy one for suggesting it.
Why can't we do both? Why can't there be policy
that is done that directly helps affordable housing across our
city while also helping the billionaires that we all love

(01:40:45):
that own the Spurs. We all love the Spurs. Why
can't we also help them out? This is a crazy idea.

Speaker 1 (01:40:53):
But like when you get to that area, like how
would like how would you do that? Like tax the
Spurs ticket sales like two say, and put it towards it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
And that's where some of that like get creative, get
creatd That's why you were elected, I find you know,
find some ways because the money, the public funds that
the Spurs would be getting from this deal are not
coming directly from our local taxes. It's not like the
city would be taxing San Antonio residents at a higher

(01:41:25):
rate to pay for this, all right, and that's the
county they're voting on that November fourth.

Speaker 1 (01:41:32):
So all of that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
Being said, I still think we could use our mayor
to give a direct answer of Look, I love the
Spurs just like everybody else. I want the Spurs to
stay here for the next hundred years.

Speaker 1 (01:41:48):
We're going to do everything one cans will be saying exactly,
be more, be more direct to it, because I do
think that is where some of the.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Natural fear of like this is what Like, we all
love the Spurs, we know what they've done for us,
for Dego, Seattle exactly exactly. It's like the Seattle SuperSonics.

Speaker 1 (01:42:11):
Were much more ingrained liberal city, or we're not much more.

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
We're just as ingrained in the culture of the city.
And they left when a billionaire didn't get his way.

Speaker 1 (01:42:21):
And went to Oklahoma where they just don't give a shit.

Speaker 2 (01:42:24):
Right well, where they're now building them a new billion
dollar downtown arena. So all of that being said, Jeff
Garcia with Kins five put together a clip of We'll
see how much we burned through. It's about five minutes total.
We'll start and stop, but I thought it would be
a good use of our time to actually hear directly

(01:42:48):
from the mayor on where she stands on this as
currently constructed on August eleventh.

Speaker 1 (01:42:55):
Nice, let's roll that.

Speaker 6 (01:42:58):
What they did is they reviewed this summary findings of
the Spurs consultant. And so I think that is and
I've shared that I think that's inadequate because what they
did is they hey, that number that looks about right.
But as you and I both know, it's not just
about the number in it looking right. We've got to
make sure the methodology also makes sense. We've got to
be very clear about the assumptions, as has been laid

(01:43:19):
out in that Philadelphia economic report. They lay out their assumptions,
they lay out their methodology, they lay out how it's
going to impact, you know, the city's fund. That's the
level of due diligence that our community also deserves.

Speaker 1 (01:43:33):
Okay, positive real quick, LG.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
So what she's describing there is when Philly was building
a new arena, they did a uh, you know, as
much of an unbiased economic uh you know, uh, what's
the word not survey but itemized list, Yeah, exactly exactly
where the money is this, how.

Speaker 1 (01:43:55):
Much we're spending on materials, how much we're still directly,
where is it going directly?

Speaker 2 (01:44:00):
How this is going to lead to the profitable profits
in the future. This is going to directly make certain
areas more attractive, more business, more money coming into it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:14):
And right now, any person that owns a business wants that, Yeah,
that's in your business plan.

Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
And I this is where it starts to get a
little great for me because I completely agree with her,
but at the same time, calling for what was her
exact word, a strategic pause on the negotiations with the
Spurs until you get that feels like an unnecessary strain
on the relationship. Continue moving forward, working with them to

(01:44:44):
try like they did a they did a study from
the Spurs that gave them all these numbers. But now
she wants an independent study done. That's perfectly fine, But
why does there need to be a strategic pause to
get this study done?

Speaker 1 (01:45:03):
But what when you can negotiate? So here's my thing
is like what can be done right now without like
without pausing it? Like your first move is basically clearing land.
You're creating the plot. So therefore if you don't put
that strategic pause, I'm playing Devil's Out kid. If you
don't put that strategic pause on it, and you start demolishing,

(01:45:27):
paying out people from their houses, you know, imminent domaining stuff,
which is horrible, Like I don't know if anybody knows
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):
They don't have to do any of that though, because
they all of the land is currently either in their
possession or in their control.

Speaker 1 (01:45:40):
That's excellent.

Speaker 2 (01:45:40):
So exactly, so none of that is required.

Speaker 1 (01:45:43):
They had to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:44):
They have to do that for the minor league baseball stage.
That's when they kicked a bunch of people out of
the apartments. But again, you don't have a birthright to
live in But like downtown.

Speaker 1 (01:45:53):
Like if there is something to worry, like, well, we
can still sit here and get the engineers and get
the stuff ready and get all that we can do
six months of work while you're independent work. I want
to hear if that's possible.

Speaker 2 (01:46:06):
See, And that's where I think it is, because if
you're if you're working from the assumption, I think this
is where I have the problem with it, because it
doesn't necessarily sound like she's operating under the assumption that
they can that it will get done, like it feels
like you're waiting for this independent study so then you
can say, uh uh uh, we're not gonna do this

(01:46:28):
because it's it's gonna cost us three hundred and eighty
nine million instead of three hundred and fifty nine millions,
Like what are.

Speaker 1 (01:46:34):
We She needs to get on board the fact that
we want it inevitable.

Speaker 2 (01:46:38):
The city wants it, the spurs want.

Speaker 1 (01:46:41):
It, the county. We're not gonna see. We're not gonna
have a we're not gonna have championships because nobody's gonna
want to stay here in the AT and T Center.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
You know, it just feels like any wasted And so
later I don't think we'll get to it because we're
running late. But later in the interview she talks about
how their lease is up till twenty thirty two, so
she's like, we've got plenty of time. It's like no, no, no, no,
this is again. It reminds me of my dad talking
about the small town. Like a data center doesn't get

(01:47:10):
built overnight. A downtown arena with an entertainment district, yeah doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:47:15):
That'd be like a two to three four year project
at least at least two or three years.

Speaker 2 (01:47:21):
But I just think the and and seven of the
ten city council members agree that the strategic pause is unnecessary.
We don't mind, like we want to see those numbers
you're asking for. But it just feels just feels kind
of weird that you're wanting.

Speaker 1 (01:47:38):
To slow setting up for failure, like you're setting up
for like I told you there was some funny business
going here, but like we can still get work done
and be like, yeah, that little that little the item
right here, Yeah, we're gonna mix that. And you'd be like,
you can't really say anything if we make it transparent
to everybody with these town hall meetings, with these like

(01:48:01):
putting it out to the public to be like, hey,
do we really need a private jet charter for this
company Eliza billionaire to come over here and check it
out three times a year? You know, stuff like that,
Like all these what politicians have and stuff where they
put on their expense reports and it's like, no, pay

(01:48:22):
for that out your own freaking pocket, you know what
I'm saying. You can take it at first class. We'll
give you a first class ticket.

Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
That's where That's where it feels like if the transparency
is what you're going for. Again, why are you playing
hardball and acting like the end result is not still
going to be the same. Because so let's say we
get the independent economic survey back and it says, actually,

(01:48:50):
originally the spurs you said you need, because I think
the original number was three hundred to five hundred million
from the city and they would find in the public
funds without raising taxes or directly charging citizens of San
Antonio to get that money. The if all of a
sudden it comes back, you do this independent survey and

(01:49:13):
it says the spurs and or instead of it being
a one point five billion dollar project, it's now a
one point six billion, So we've got one hundred million
more dollars that we've got to find a way. Why
if that does come back.

Speaker 1 (01:49:29):
That's just that's your slush fund. You've got to have
wiggle room with a slush fund. Where it's like, Yo,
if we had to do this, the price increased from
whenever we bought the contract concrete here at this time,
all of a sudden something happened in the price increased,
And you can sit there and put that on the
other business. But sometimes you have to make a compromise.

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
See, and that's where you know a thousand percent And
that's what drives me most insane because you're it doesn't
You're you're looking for a compromise with the city's most
beloved business. The pressure is as much on film as
it is on you, the mayor, to get that deal done.

Speaker 1 (01:50:14):
This I don't going to put more of a positive
spin on it, bingo, that's all I'm saying. Spin to
be like, we want this, I want to give this right,
but I want just tr But we also live here's
the devil's advocate the game. We also live in the
day and age where we put out job support number
and that person gets fired and then yeah, but that.

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
Doesn't that doesn't have fun to do with this. This
is literally local politics that has nothing that raises above
the level of San Antonio.

Speaker 1 (01:50:43):
A billionaire doing something they're gonna rense and repeat to
see if they can get away with it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:47):
She trust me, she's not. I don't think she's taking
the word of the Spurs at face value, which again
is a bit like that's your biggest business. Like I'm
not saying you should take them that face value, but
you also shouldn't stop down the process until you get
your independent analysis that you're demanding that only three other

(01:51:10):
city council members are actually in agreement with you on
because the rest of the city that's seventy percent, And.

Speaker 1 (01:51:15):
Then what are you going to do have a like
a half a year discussion of who's going to be
your independent council qualified, right, And that's where there needs
to be like a push to be like, I want
to get this done asap.

Speaker 2 (01:51:27):
What I think is really happened. We'll cut into the
chase we got to get.

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
Out, but we need to cross our t's and O eyes.

Speaker 2 (01:51:32):
What I think is really happening the progressive wing of
this city, the more liberal wing of this city that
isn't pro as pro business as you're even center voter
in San Antonio. She's appealing to them of we're not
just going to give your money away to billionaires to
build a stadium without doing like none.

Speaker 1 (01:51:54):
Of that is kind of like this city is so
centered none of that.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
Yeah, it's it's the military influence. With the you know,
you get military and Catholicism giving conservative influence, you get
the liberal immigration minority. Like it really is the best
blend of pragmatic people that normally don't I shouldn't say normally.
There's still bullshit games that get played by everybody, But

(01:52:18):
most of the time, the pragmatic idea wins in this city,
which is what I love most about it, because you really,
like I honestly thought a Republican was going to win
the mayoral race because of how poorly some of these construction,
major construction projects have been carried out in our city.
And you can't you can't blame the minority party for that.

(01:52:40):
You blame the people that have been in charge for
the last twenty years. So the fact that she won
to begin with, and now she goes on later we'll
run more of that audio Wednesday. She goes on to
talk more about how you know, a lot of what
she heard on the campaign trail was how can we
build a billion dollar stadium when we have such social

(01:53:04):
inequality in our city? And that's where I say, right
it starts to be lip service to the to the.

Speaker 1 (01:53:10):
It's not a San Antonial problem. That's an America problem.

Speaker 2 (01:53:13):
And it's also it's also a problem, but I think.

Speaker 1 (01:53:16):
You can't fix it without help from the federal government.
And this has nothing to do with the federal government.
This has everything to do with our city making our
own decision about our own team.

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
Yeah, and we all want the thing to strain that
relationship feels like bad policy. Yeah, that's that's all. We'll
get into more of that on Wednesday. We went way late, LG.
Let's do some lightning round before we get out of here.
Hopefully we're about to get another Rangers walk off.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
When or you shouldn't have said that, right, what do
you think he's about to We got a three to
two count, two outs and it's not okay, okay, I was.
I just didn't worry. We're going to the bottom of
the tenth.

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
Now does it surprise you to read that ut is
number one for the first time ever in the preseason
It's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:54:06):
Man number one for the first time and coaches and
AP was it? A P and coaches pulled the.

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
It's the first time ever in the a P preseason
poll to begin with, you know who has the most
preseason number one?

Speaker 1 (01:54:19):
C d lamb Alum Oh oh yeah? Ten? Yeah, they
have ten? All right, hit me, LG. The one and
only Rick moranis is coming out of return for space
balls too. Okay, I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:54:35):
Yeah, it makes me happy, dark dark hell, especially after
he got the suckers sucker punch attack in New York City.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
Yeah, the you need some well and what was his story?
It was, didn't it? It was after his like wife
passed away. Yeah, he just didn't have any and he.

Speaker 3 (01:54:56):
Wanted to be a wife died of cancer, and he
wanted to raise his kids without having Hollywood involved.

Speaker 1 (01:55:02):
I want to be an actor. What a solid dude.

Speaker 3 (01:55:05):
So he cashed his honey, I shrunk the Kids part
twenty check and never did another movie, didn't didn't come
back for any of the Ghostbusters. And I'm surprised he's
coming back for Spaceball.

Speaker 1 (01:55:16):
You know. I think he's doing it for ninety eight
years old, and he's going to be in it to
be sure, he's going to be yogurt yoogt Yes, yeah, yogurt.

Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
The the merch section.

Speaker 3 (01:55:31):
I'm gonna I'm gonna get your own Spaceball's the T
shirt at some point.

Speaker 1 (01:55:35):
Yes, I have to. We have to hit me lg uh,
this right up your alley.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
The t KO Group signing big deal for UFC seven years,
seven point seven billion, all going to a cbaramount plus.

Speaker 1 (01:55:54):
Yeah, the cb CBS paramount plus merger. There's a there
was a lot of fingers in that'll cook it. Don't
look don't look too deep.

Speaker 2 (01:56:05):
The Whig and Ye show ran out of loss. I
don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:56:14):
It didn't make money, all right, hit me al g
The one and only George Kittle, the best postgame interviewer
himself and will be the greatest tied end to ever play,
turned down a ten million dollar turned down ten million
dollar endorsement deal for a real estate company that was

(01:56:38):
gingerfying areas of state in San Francisco. He did not
like their ideals and what they were doing. Okay, it
was going to be the face of this real estate company.

Speaker 2 (01:56:50):
So were they like building like two story duplex walk ups.

Speaker 1 (01:56:54):
Well, they're basically kicking people out of their houses, like
you know how, you know, just like the Pearl dish Streak.
The Pearl District was like your hood, you know, sure,
and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, look
at this high rise. Yeah that's where. But then also
you got the Deco district that's being gingerfied. St. Mary's
is next.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
The Pearl District now has a top five hotel in
the entire world. Absolutely, it's brought how many millions of dollars?

Speaker 1 (01:57:21):
I got this, I know, but they've been known to
do shady business, and Kittle wanted nothing to do with them. Said,
take your ten million dollars and kick rocks because that
man has morals. And guess what he can still get
his smelling salt. The team can't provide it. He can
bring his own.

Speaker 2 (01:57:41):
Okay, that's that's the rule.

Speaker 1 (01:57:43):
It just can't be lead team cannot provide the smelling salt.
He can bring his own so he can get all
dusted on the on the sideline. Have you ever done
smelling salt? Oh? Yeah, it fucking sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:57:54):
We might need to get some No, God, no, make
you pass out?

Speaker 1 (01:58:01):
Can make me pass out? Well, okay maybe not.

Speaker 2 (01:58:03):
Let's get it right before. If we get to five hundred,
hit me LG. We mentioned the great Wes Harkins, who
picked up something off our Amazon wish list. Highly highly
appreciate that I was talking to west over the weekend.
He sent me a couple of clips. Didn't realize Well,

(01:58:25):
first of all, we're coming up on Gambler Days over
in austin August twenty second through twenty fourth but this
past weekend, Texas's own although.

Speaker 1 (01:58:37):
He plays for the Missouri Thunder. Unfortunately he rides for
the Missouri Thunder.

Speaker 2 (01:58:42):
Jet Harkins, twenty year old kid from Stevenville had two
smooth ass rides. Rode the shit, just textbook rides off
the BBR.

Speaker 1 (01:58:51):
Yeah. I watched. I saw the guy that like basically
got bucked off yeah and went right over the railing,
And I'm like, that's the best case scenario right there. Literally,
there are so I think the people PBR is one.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
I feel like there's remember when.

Speaker 1 (01:59:06):
The X Games blew one of them? Can you can
throw a flag? Oh? Yeah, no, you challenge the ride.

Speaker 2 (01:59:11):
It's great, it's pretty entertaining the same way like extreme
sports blew up with uh you know, like Tony Hawk,
Matt Hoffman, Dave mirra Era. I think PBR is like
it's it's a it's a sport with a lot of
room for gross city and they're just crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:59:31):
I'm in for it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:32):
Well, they they figured out now with this team format
where they can make it more uh consumable to an
average American sports fan. Like now it looks more like
it's not just bull riding, even though it's still just
it looks like a team you're rooting for. You don't
have to know the individuals as much as for the

(01:59:53):
team exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:59:54):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:59:55):
They just need to lose the perverted, creepy rodeo that
we could have. You know, they can hit the mainstream
once they get rid of that guy.

Speaker 1 (02:00:05):
Every time.

Speaker 2 (02:00:06):
Look the the tradition of the rodeo clown court jester.

Speaker 1 (02:00:12):
Look, there's gotta keep that.

Speaker 2 (02:00:14):
There's some tradition that maybe is worth letting go a
little bit of maybe the pervy side of the class.

Speaker 1 (02:00:21):
He dude, he was hitting hard on some cheerleadership.

Speaker 2 (02:00:27):
It was fast.

Speaker 3 (02:00:28):
I have learned that that particular clown is a Hall
of Famer and retired.

Speaker 2 (02:00:33):
That's correct, And I also think he was kind of
on his uh farewell to it.

Speaker 3 (02:00:38):
Yeah, I think they were gonna it was like, you've
better retire now before we make you go away.

Speaker 1 (02:00:44):
Those blue pills game a revival body.

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
After he mentioned the ut cheerleaders for like the seventh time,
that was when that went Because when he when he
mentioned him for the second time, LG was like, Oh,
he's a little horny, pervy old man. And then by
the seventh time, I was like all right, yeah, you
know what you might be right, Yeah, hit me LG.

Speaker 1 (02:01:05):
We're gonna do a three year analysis with oh Wimby
Yama and one Kevin Durant side by side points per game,
twenty two point five for Wimby, twenty two point seven
for uh, sorry, I got distrack up because the Rangers
had to walk on. Yeah. We need more fats.

Speaker 2 (02:01:30):
We need much you know what, I don't know the fats.

Speaker 1 (02:01:32):
The Rangers just need more fats. It's not that they
have too many. We just need more fats. Alright, So
we had twenty two point five per points per game
for Wimby, twenty two point seven for Durant, ten point
eight rebounds per games for Wimby, five point four for Durant.
That makes sense, three point eight assists per games for Wimby,

(02:01:54):
two point six for Durant, three point seven blocks per game,
point eight for Durant, one point two steals for Wimby,
one point one for Durant. And then the shooting percentages
on this goes from two points to three points and
then free throws forty seven thirty four eighty one. That's

(02:02:16):
Wimby forty five thirty six eighty seven. For Durant. What
was the point? What was the point per game number?
What was twenty two point five and twenty two point
seven advantage Durant? Damn, that's the first three seasons. Yeah,
I didn't really. I imagine if Wimby had Darren de
Aaron Fox and didn't get the blood caught this year again,

(02:02:36):
I think that don't what you upgrade a point guard.
You're saying you're not gonna get more points.

Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
No, I'm saying, imagine if Kevin Durant wasn't playing with
Luke ritten Hour and like he was playing.

Speaker 1 (02:02:48):
With all stars on our team, there was not one
all star on our team.

Speaker 2 (02:02:54):
It was a rookie of the year.

Speaker 1 (02:02:57):
That was Wimby.

Speaker 2 (02:02:58):
No the next year, Steph stuff Castle the year.

Speaker 1 (02:03:01):
I stand by my point. I think that's I.

Speaker 2 (02:03:06):
Think it's a fun comparison, but they're just so different.

Speaker 1 (02:03:10):
It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:03:11):
Exactly, there's no like, I don't know who you're comparing to.
Hit me one more time, LG and we'll get out
of here. We're gonna close with an E Bomb's corner
because seven years ago, technically it was yesterday. Seven years ago,
we had the emergence of another Internet meme with what

(02:03:36):
came to be known as the sky King Richard Russell,
who hijacked a He didn't really hijack, he just took it.
He took Alaska Airlines plane that was at the airport.
He was a grounds crew worker and went full GTA
rolled the cliff LG.

Speaker 8 (02:03:54):
Yes, all right, hey, Marley, guy can just think you
a backflot thing.

Speaker 6 (02:04:03):
I'm going to land it like.

Speaker 2 (02:04:07):
Safe, safe kind of manner.

Speaker 7 (02:04:09):
Think, think a barrel roll and if that goes good,
Dow just go nose down and call the Knight.

Speaker 1 (02:04:17):
Go nose down. Watch the I mean he does.

Speaker 2 (02:04:20):
Add so when he's right above the water, they estimate
he's like three meters like ten feet right above the
water doing doing that full flip barrel roll.

Speaker 8 (02:04:32):
A hey, the guy can think at there sports it was,
but it is possible to do a backflip barrelroll with
the seven After watching the l A Car Chase last
night and then realizing it was also the seven year anniversary,

(02:04:53):
like our our society is just becoming more gtafied by
this guy.

plane could do.

like the air kat because that wasn't the full version.
Was like I didn't know that could happen. It's actually
pretty impressives. They like they like they sat there and
they hyped him up a little bit, and I was like,
that's why I was like, this is fake.

when the report started getting out seven years ago that
he was doing it. You could, I mean they were
covering it live, like you could watch the you know,
him flying this thing as.

years ago and said, so he didn't play, So he
