Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I'm Russ with Angel and Ryan and friendly Ray Turdley
here with us today.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
What's up right? How you doing, buddy? Good morning?
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I'm doing well.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Doing pretty good? You know, we're just doing moster sports.
Were you surprised that they fired the coach of the
Orlando Magic.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
No, no, you can't collapse like that. And you know,
even from the very I don't know if you guys
talked about, but even from the very beginning of the season,
it seemed like there was some bad blood. Maybe it's
a good way to put it. You know, there were
some clips that I saw and I'm sure angels saw
him too, where there are moments where the coach is
trying to wrap up the players and Paula would just
walk cold shoulder and really walk right past them. And
(00:35):
so that's not good when the face of your franchise
is not loving you.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
So you know what's interesting with this particular firing, though
there's not former players for national broadcasters, none of them
like they like they understand it, but they're like, hey, listen,
this guy. They feel like this guy had done enough
that he could have been afforded another sea.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
For sure, get a job for the end of the summer.
I mean he will be a top job candidate for
another team.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
And that's what my whole thing all along was always
it was like, all right, if you're gonna make this move,
then who do you like? Who are you considering? And
then all the names that are being thrown out by
by the fans because the Magic haven't said anything, and
obviously they wouldn't, but it's like, like, no one's thinking
out of the box. Billy Donovan is not the answer.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You know, you don't want him again.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
No, no, I have zero interesting okay, because we need
somebody who's got a history of player development, right and
and so like you know what's is that the old
guy that that Dwight ran off? Everyone loves him, Yeah,
they were just he was just he was stand fan.
I love Stan. He's not the answer, He's it's the
(01:50):
game has passed him and he's.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And he's great on TV though, and he's said.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
He has said that right, and he's but he's a
fantastic commentator.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
When you say the game's passing, you mean the game
has The game is different now than it was when
he was coaching.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
And he and he himself herself has for the worse though,
that the game has passed him or I don't know
where the game is where the NBA is not a
fan of of the of this whole like a three
point shot first and the analytics of it all. And
yeah I am not and and he's not either. But uh,
there's you're not going We're not going to go back.
(02:25):
Other things have to change before they fix quote unquote
the game.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
And you know what, I have not really paid attention
to basketball, but I did because of Ryan's bet and everything.
And I did watch the Magic games, and I could
tell it was different than when I used to really
watch or when.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I watch the w n b A.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
When I watched the w NBA because I like watching
Katelyn Clark and everything, it seems like it's a more
well rounded game.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Right now, the women's game is as far as if
you're into you know, inside out kind of things, yea,
and the strategy, it's more to me more aesthetically pleasing
to watch, whether it's collegiate or the w n b
A agreed, then what the what?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Then?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Currently what the professional product is? It's right down to
take a three point shot? Listen, don't take a three
point shot. I like the college I like men's college
Yeah exactly, I like men's college basketball.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
At some point the NBA is going to have to.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Address that or or is it this is just the
era and hopefully we'll get out of that cycle and
we'll go to you know, we'll go to something, we'll
revert back to it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You know, maybe it's it's just cyclical. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Hey, Ray, since you're in today and some big news
has happened this week was the Blake Lively case. And
have you paid attention to it?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I haven't been keeping track of it recently, but I
was keeping track of it earlier. Do they end up
going to Tarler settling? No, they settled, Yeah, it makes
more sense.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
They settled and he doesn't have to he doesn't have
to apologize.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
He so basically he kind of won.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Uh they settle out of court, but he was uh
uh you know, Blake Lively receives no money at all. Uh,
it says, uh shocking lawsuit settlement. He doesn't have to apologize,
he doesn't have to pay her any money. She had
to pay her attorneys for all of this, you know,
to assume him and everything. What do you think made
him come to you know, a settlement without a win.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well, I think a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
One, in a case that is that public, you want
to make sure that at the end of it, your
reputation is not going to you know, be impacted or
negatively impacted by the case we saw with the Amber
Heard Johnny Depp case, where you know, no matter what happened,
at the end of that case, amberhard was not going
(04:33):
to look good. Yeah, and so it hurt her career
awards absolutely, and so I think that that's probably a
little bit of what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So this was hurting Blake Lively's career and the fact.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
That you know that no money was exchanged is another
sign that they knew that this was not going to
be a winning case.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Do you believe some of the reports that are coming
out as well the biggest reasons she settled it was
affecting her marriage.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh, I believe that. How was that?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
The word is that Ryan Reynolds really pressed her to
go ahead and settle this thing because it was whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I think it's the person. It affected him as well.
I think it's an emotional toll.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Emotionally, you're talking emotionally and talking about the relationship wise,
they're talking marriage one hundred percent. He hasn't slowed down working.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think it affected their finances. That
you know, that's the attacks for a lot of people.
But I think emotionally, people don't realize how much stress
and pressure being in a courtroom places on somebody. And
and I think that in a relationship where you know,
(05:41):
you're both pretty high engine people and you've got these
really flossoming careers, to have this as something that's draining
your time and attention really hurts.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Let me ask you this though, because we all know
these people that like they're they're they're friend of your
friends of yours that are a couple.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
One of them sucks, yeah, like you whether it's the
guy or the girl, could be either. He's got a
cool job on the radio with them. No, but like
one of them sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And then you see where like the other one will
stick up for their partner's bad behavior, you know what
I mean, And that this seems to be like one
of those situations where like there's no way. Well, I
guess some people are like that, but they are right
or die even when the person is wrong. I have
to imagine though, that's not helpful in a relationship because like,
(06:28):
my wife is very good at calling me out when
I'm wrong and I don't like it, but I'll hear
her and go okay, like she'll have my back when
i'm correct. Same with her, but like if she's wrong,
I go, let's not do this like once once or twice.
But I feel like that's more helpful than just just
(06:50):
jumping on board. And I don't know how those people
in those relationships stay together because there seems to be
like one like I don't know the full situation, right,
but for me watching from the back end, I'm like,
this is Blake Lively trying to push her narrative and
do that. Ryan Reynolds now has to be on board
because it's his wife, and I don't know if that's
(07:13):
helpful for a marriage.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And I know what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Angel hasn't hurt his career, but I think it's I
think it has affected his popularity and he's probably gotten
more people being disrespectful to.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Him than he used to.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, probably, Like allways, Ryan Reynolds, it was like, oh,
everybody loved him, and I think more people because of
Blake lively. He probably received more negative press or negative
stuff on social media than he was.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Used to, is my impression. Yeah, I think you're probably
right there, Russ.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And I think to Ryan's point, you know, the idea
of being in a relationship is you're a team together
and when you're when you're doing something where you're protecting
your own personal identity. Uh, you know, maybe it's it's
an ego thing. You're really focusing on yourself and not
the benefit of the team. And so, you know, we
see when we watch basketball football, so he plays hero ball.
You know, they want to be the center of attention.
(08:03):
The team fails, right, and so you know, I think
to Ryan's point, resentment builds and that it's hard to
have a relationship with somebody like that. You both have
to be all in on the team, and if the
team is struggling, you got to make a decision to
focus on the team instead of yourself, right man. So
I don't think you know she was doing that for
a while. Maybe this is what teams right, all right, Okay,
(08:24):
I'm a Patriots fan, Yeah, big New England Patriots. It's
bummer you guys aren't gonna go back to the Super
Bowl because Miami's gonna be there.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well, we might hope them.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
We might because we might get four time pro bowler
Stephan Diggs back because yesterday that was.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
My next story. Yeah, I didn't have enough time. Okay,
we're gonna bring that up. Yeah, Stephan Diggs found not
guilty of a.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Relation and solid Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And she and from what they what I saw, she
had no proof that it happened, no pictures of anything
that people saw her laughing and goofing around.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
After she alleges this happened.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The rest of the staff her just fine, rest of
the staff, and she takes it to court.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It was hit her word against his and there was
a video of her like out partying and dancing. That
was the most damaging. Yeah, after all of the things
that they presented in court, and there was nothing. Why
you couldn't do nothing from that? What are your thoughts
on that? Man, I'll tell you what. If we had
more time, I would go through it. I would say
I'd go through the video with you guys at the
opening and closing. This is a perfect example of the
(09:23):
state overreaching. This prosecutor clearly had never tried a case
maybe like this before. I want to say never before,
but I mean everything from start to finish, it was
obvious that they didn't have a very good game plan.
They came in, it looked rushed, disorganized. On the witness stand,
(09:45):
she did not seem prepared for cross examination, because, like
you guys are saying, there were six witnesses that saw
her after this alleged strangulation that all sudden she seemed fine.
She had an opportunity to report this, she didn't report it.
And I'm not necessarily saying that people don't have their
reasons for not reporting something immediately, but that became really
compelling evidence when you also compare that with the lack
(10:07):
of photo evidence, the lack of other physical evidence of
the crime, and then obviously the fact that there was
this quasi uh well, I was gonna say economic relationship, right,
because they had they had a sexual relationship, but you know,
did it seem like there was some jealousy involved and
then he wasn't paying her and it really just I mean,
(10:29):
for at.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Least from my perspective, she was trying to get him back.
She was trying to get some money. Do you okay,
is there anything.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
That happens to her or let's say to the prosecutor or,
to her, yeah it hurts.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Uh, you know, you got kicked out of the NFL
for it. Yeah, I mean it could be what's called
abusive process. I mean, it's a really high burden. At
least in Florida. I imagine Massachusets is probably the same way, uh,
to go after somebody who maliciously prosecutes you and essentially
fabricates a story to have you prosecuted. But that's a
possibility as far as the prosecutor goes. You know, we've
(11:05):
seen these these flubs in Florida before, and those people
sometimes become judges sometimes they he wasn't kicked out, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh yeah, he spended. He suspended until this got cleared up.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Oh yeah, so who So the Patriots did they release
They retained his rights to I don't know what they
have for that though, but he was fully released by
the day.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It does hurt his reputation because some people are going
to remember what happened, not going to remember I remember
that he was found not guilty.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So you know, it does hurt his reputation for sure.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
How about how okay, so like if I was to
engage in a relationship with an iHeartMedia employee, Right, I
have to go to me and Russ are dating. I
got to go to hr. I gotta be like, hey,
I love him. Turns out I'm going for number five.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But the thing.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But but rich people, I've noticed that this happens where
they have they have a staff, but their staff is
kind of like ten ninety nine ers or and then
they'll get they'll get involved in a relationship with somebody
that they're paying, whether it's a cleaning woman, a chef,
something like that, And it seems to complicate things in
such a ridiculous way where I'm always like, why would
(12:09):
you ever do that? I don't know if I could
say it better than that, it is a terrible idea
to get involved with anybody that you pay or employ
or that you work with.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Generally speaking, I get problems. Problem you got.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
From employment lawsuits to termination to uh because imagine, like
that's worth that. If I'm Stepan Diggs, I got a
private chef. She's my private chef. She makes him hot dogs?
Is she really a private chef?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
But suddenly we start hooking up. Guess who's not getting
paid anymore?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Like I can, I can see the life see the
law chef. Now we're now friends with benefits. Thing I'm
getting moron, or if you still continue to pay them,
that's essentially prostitution. No, you're paying her for her work.
But even though you're banging. Yeah, but you know you guys,
forget that. Ryan has very old school when it comes
(13:09):
to how he sees his wife. She has to cut
his nails and shoes at home, she has to cut
the bread off of Yeah, a little red hood. Yeah
that's nice. All right, we have to take a little
bit of a break. We got friendly Ray Trendley here
with us. If you need you need to get hold
of Ray Trenley if you have any if you're going
through divorce or any kind of family law or anything
like that.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's one Firm Forlife dot Com. That's One Firm Forlife
dot com t K Law. It's our good buddy, Ray Trenley.
I got I got some questions for you when we
come back. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the Manxtras
in the morning, Welcome out of the Monsters morning. He
We're already a one on four point one rockouse and
live on iHeartRadio. I'm Russ Rollins along with Ryant Holmes,
Angel Rivera and our buddy friendly Ray Trendley, who does
(13:52):
a lot of divorce you know law, but you.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Do other law, you know, other other other business. I
have to all kinds of litigation work.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And when it comes to face family law and stuff
like that, like you handled, you handled. You know, my
mom's all my mom's of state stuff and and you know,
all kinds of stuff, but a lot of divorce stuff
and so and I know you well, and I know
that I've sent people to you for divorce stuff, and
you do a lot of counseling kind of you know,
(14:18):
like like like you're not just there to run them
through a divorce. You'll talk to him a little bit
and kind of find out what's going on. And I
think my job is to listen first. And I actually,
you know, one of the goals that I had for
this year was to be more reflective on what I do.
I don't know if it's if this is something you've
(14:39):
gone through, but like I'm at a point in my
career where every every bucket listing I've ever wanted to
accomplish in my career, I've accomplished right. And so now
I've really spent a lot of time this year. I've
made a goal of writing down the things that like
I want to pass on to somebody else. And that's
not that I'm planning on retiring, but just things that
(14:59):
I think would be really helpful to somebody else. And
so and in doing that, it's it's sparked a lot
of creativity. And one of the things that I thought,
you know, nobody ever talks about is how to build strategy.
You know, from from a leg legal lawyer standpoint, how
to build strategy in a case like how do you
win your case because you've got a good plan, and
and and the thing I keep coming up with as
(15:21):
I've been writing this is you have to listen first,
because if if rus Rollins comes to my office says
I need to get a divorce first, I'm gonna tell him, don't.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You know, you were lucky enough to find Mary Ellen,
and she was maybe naive enough to say yes, right,
so you can't. You can't get divorced. But if you were,
my job is to find out what's truly important to you,
so then I can build a strategy that helps you
accomplish those goals, and so sometimes people's goals aren't. I
(15:52):
want to burn it out of the ground. It's just
I wanted to listen some more. And I'm like, well,
you know what, maybe you talked to him a little bit.
So once the person has got a divorce, that's what
this is. This is this is about I'm gonna see
it all three of you guys think about this. I
have a strong opinion about it. UH, And I'm not
I'm not like Ryan, where everything AI I hate, Like,
I'm not there yet. I'm like, you know, I still
(16:12):
I still see the value in some AI. I understand
it's taking some people's jobs, but you know, I'm not like,
oh a, I hate it right away.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
But this and this one I'm not a fan of. UH.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And you've done a lot of divorces, and I want
to know what you think. So now there's a new trend.
Now this is starting in China, but they say that
people are starting to do it here in America, and
that is to use AI. And you take your your
let's say your ex. You know you're get divorced, your
ex breaks up with you, leaves you, you can take
their face and everything and put it into this AI tool,
(16:46):
and it can create a digital like version of your X,
like you're still talking to your ex, but in all
the ways you want to talk to your ex, Like
she doesn't argue with you. I'll say she, It could
it could be he. I'm saying she because I'm looking
for my perspective. But she's positive. It's AI tool that
(17:09):
takes your X and makes them into you, know, like
like your former romantic partner that way. And they're saying,
here will help for personal reflection and emotional healing while
you're getting over the divorce or the breakup. And I listen,
I've been there before when you when you're break up
or whatever, and you're so sad, and I could see
(17:31):
me doing this and then you would never get over
it like you would and you would absolutely never get
over it. Uh you think this is a good thing
or a bad thing?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Ray, I mean, I think I had to learn this
the hard way as a young man. I think it's
important that when your relationship is over, your relationship is over,
like you have to not talk to that person ever again.
They're dead to you.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And that allow.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Believe that that that allows you to have that personal
reflection and and I think that allows growth because you know,
here's what we do as human beings. We get into
habits and routines and ruts. Yeah, and that's why a
lot of these relationships end. And if you have that
same person and they're telling you all the great things
about you and your relationship, you're never gonna get out
(18:14):
of that rut.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Here's what this does. You take you, here's what you input.
You input pictures and photos of your ex chat log,
social media post. And also if you've got audio, if
you build that in there, it takes their speech pattern,
their tone, everything, And it's just like you're talking to
your ex still even though it's not real Angel.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Is there an exit you would want to know?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
No, there's not, And this is this is absolutely again
this is terrifying in the sense of this is a
mental health thing, Yeah for sure. So like if you're
going through that, you should be you know, there are
real life human beings that have been trained to help
you deal with this in real scenarios and real places
where you can go and talk it out with something.
Because it's not that far out of the realm of
(19:01):
possibility that you create this thing on AI and then
all of a sudden, this thing that you're talking to
because it wants to please you, starts telling you to
do things that are illegal, starts telling you to do
things that are bad because it's trying to please you
as an AI that's.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
What all you and you're right about that, but also
it would make you go, oh, you know what, I'm
just happy talking to this thing and for the rest
of your life you're just talking to the We already
have the fake X that you.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Have that issue right now with dudes that are making
fake women on that that they're they're becoming lot lock ins,
you know, and that's all they're doing. So again, I'm
not a fan of anything that takes away from human
to human contact and takes away from the professionalism of like,
if you need someone to talk to, there's there's a
human being that's going to be able to help you
(19:49):
navigate that that is going to give you objectivity, as
opposed to an AI creation that's going to fundamentally find
a way to try.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
To please you.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I guess this This this AI tool is uh, it's allegedly
super populated.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
It's called x dot skill.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
That is it.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And the creators say that it's good for you, it
helps with personal reflection and then it gives you emotional
healing as you're getting over the fact. But how embarrassing
would it be for to let someone know that, Yeah,
I got my X on my phone and it's like
I'm talking to my ex.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But it's really Again that's the whole shaming part of it.
You wouldn't tell anybody, No, you just hide it. No
you don't.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
You don't talk to anybody at that point, right because
again you're now in this happy, comfortable situation where you
and your ex girlfriend who is not real, uh, get
to just sit there and chat about how great you
are all day long.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Here's a legal question someone asked texting service Thank you
so Much. It says, wouldn't wouldn't is it legal to
use someone's likeness for an AI.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Model like that?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I mean it's not for commerci purposes, and so oh okay,
I mean I suppose you could conceptually try to file
a lawsuit ands say, but there's no licensing agreement, you know,
and as song as you oh man, I know, like
like deep fakes super illegal, but like what's not illegal yet?
Would be like, Okay, hey, I made this chat model
(21:19):
of my ex girlfriend, Hey, download it and you can
hit her too, and that that will have to be
a thing that we make illegal. Right, Yeah, But how
cool would it be to be like the prototype girlfriend
or boyfriend where like all relationships are built off of
like how great you are? Horrible then like then somebody's
everybody could date Christina then no, no, no, but like
(21:42):
because then if you're like the guy, say, say the
perfect boyfriend ends up being Ron Holmes turns out great chatbot,
but then people go to date me and they're like, oh,
you're You're not as good as the chat but run
of the chatlot.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I heard that in your life.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
But you know you've met him before, like you've gotten
through divorces and stuff. Ryan, there are some people that
are just so devastated and so they feel like there's
still so much in love with their ex.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Do this.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I think the best thing that ever happened to me
was like like a relationship where a girl completely cut
me off, blocked me.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Nothing horrible happened, just we just broke up.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
And a lot of times these relationship wo linger around
for a while and she like cut like clear line
in the sand, and at the time, man, that devastated me,
But like, looking back, what a great thing to do?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
You do that one?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
You know, you go back and get back together for
one weekend and then they cut you off and you're like, wow,
it hurts, but it's what you needed.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
A more big, dumb fun with Ray Trentley when we
come back. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the Box
of the morning. What's up? I'm Russ with Angel, Ryan
and friendly Ray Tranley here today. Okay, this is one.
It's not this is not really about divorce. This is
this is about being a dude.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
This is right. This is dude coch. We have due time. Anyway,
we have due time.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
We've done obviously, if you, if you, But I'm curious
what you're gonna say about that. All right, hold on,
I know what Ryan's gonna say.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You don't. I know what Angel is gonna say.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
With Ray, he's a wild card because he can be
a scoundrel when he wants to. But his wife is
in charge. So I know what you're gonna say. Okay,
here we go. There's a big debate that is that
is happening. It says on social media, and here's the debate.
Now work most of us, a lot of us are
going out on Sunday for Mother's Day, right taking that's
(23:27):
this weekend. I'm just kidding. I've been preparing for this
for months. You know, take your mom to dinner? A
lot of people go. Maybe you have it at your house,
or maybe you're taking it to dinner. Okay, So if
you and your wife are going to pick up your
mom and hey, mom, come on you and you're driving,
does your does your mom sit in the front seat
(23:48):
beside you and your wife sits in the back or
does your wife sit in the front seat and mom
gets in the back? Big debate on what's proper and
what's not proper. I think I know what you're gonna say,
But what what? How are you gonna go? How's everybody
else gonna go? I'm curious how everyody else is gonna
go on this one. Well, see Ryan, I'm I can
(24:09):
imagine Ryan puts his wife in the front seat and
makes his mom sit in the back. Of course, Angel
puts his mom in the front seat and whatever girlfriend
or wife or whatever sits in the back.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
No, no, what do you call your mom? Angel?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So my mom would sit in the back and girlfriend
or wife would sit in the front. Oh, I got
that one wrong. Ray, where are you at?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Oh? So my dad would sit in the front seat.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Though, Oh that's interesting, I put no, why is that?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I don't I'm trying. I'm trying to walk myself through this. Right,
is a hispanic thing like like.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
No, it's just yeah, I don't maybe I I don't
know the answer. I'm trying to I'm trying to figure
this out because I'm thinking about it. So the last time, Uh, yeah,
pop sat with me up front and yeah, uh.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Mom, or yeah, Russ, your dad if he was, you know, alive,
still God rest his soul was riding you, Mary Ellen,
riding together. Your dad's sitting in the bank, I don't
think so.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And your mom, you're correct, my dad would sit in
the front. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
And then if and we're going to pick my mom
up on Sunday and I will drive, my mom will
sit in the front.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
And Mary al Uh So I did a fourteen hour
drive with my mother and my wife. I put my
mother all the way in the back, really, and my
wife sat. But here's the flip of that. And I
hate I hate not being the person who drives. I
am I am the best driver in my family, despite
(25:54):
what my wife would believe.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, or my mother for that matter.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Uh, they will be an occasion where like my mom
will like you know, her needs will be hurting or
something like that. I'll let her sit up front, my
wife will drive, and I'll sit in the very back
with some xanax and I'll try to relax.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I always have to drive.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I have control issues, but I do too, Oh you do, Okay,
Now I'm surprised trying.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
To figure I'm literally trying to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Because I always thought, and like Hispanic families, the family matriarchal, Hey,
this is I would think Mom would without a doubt,
sit you know, right beside you in the front, and
we're not including your dad. It's just it's just you
and your mom and and your girlfriend or your wife.
And I would think mom would come first. Wife has
(26:39):
to sit in the back. Explain to me why it's
not that way. I don't know, shotgun.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah, I don't have a good I genuinely don't have
a good answer. I know that I think some of
it has been times where mom is gone, you know,
Let's say, like listen, my it was a week when
I had my daughter. Well, grandma would want to be
in the back with with my daughter, her granddaughter. So
there's there's some of that. I think with that, I
(27:06):
think there is a like, I don't I'm actively like
you're trying to figure it out because I've never said, hey, Ma,
you're in the back seat. I've never done that. She
just has naturally gone to the back seat. Right when
or when whoever I was with was like, oh no,
you know, mom, you could sit in the front seat
and she'd be like, no, no, no, no, you sit
(27:27):
in the front seat.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
So Ryan, you go to pick up your mom and
it's you and Christina and then your mom comes out
and shout, maically sits in the front seat.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
No, see, because I look at it like it's more
of a it's more of a driving miss Daisy situation,
right like you're in the back because we're like, you know,
we're chauffeuring you around. It's not a power thing. It's like, yeah,
we're taking we're taking you out. Come on, get in
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You open the door for her and all that kind
of thing. Yeah, and then she buys lunch.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
No, definitely, my mom my mom is and is very
much a type a personality and likes to be in
control of things. Oh, we should have moms fight, we
should ships, right.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
My mom is the same way, but she exerts it
in different ways. So there's there's like, so the the
car thing is I guess not that in her hierarchy
of things. My perception is it's not that big a
deal to her. But what you just said just triggered
another thousand memories of her like exhibiting like you know, no,
this is my son and you're who you are, you
(28:33):
know kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
And that's my mother a hundred percent, which is why
I stick her in the back because I can't have
that kind of energy next to me while I'm in
a car dealing with traffic and people.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Cutting me off.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I had to have my wife who's like this calming
source for me, and you know, we have a very
good dynamic. And so, yeah, I love my mom, don't
get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
And I think part of the nose is my mom
doesn't like how I drive because she thinks I drive
to Somebody just text that in and I was like,
you know what, Yeah, she's not a fan of my.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
My mom thinks I'm Mario and exactly now.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
To be fair though, like mary Ellen will say I
want mom to sit in the front, like she wants
my mom to sit in the front, And there have
been other situations where the wife would demand to sit
in the front. Obviously they've been kicked to the curb.
Yeah there, they didn't make it. Yeah, where do you
go for Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Uh? You know what?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's my mom and mary Ellen's call, and it's like
it's a damn olive garden.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oliden Russ does not love the olive garden.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I do not care for it. It's their mother's day, right,
so I guess it's salad, bread steaks.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I also like to tour of Italy is a good
combo and a good well.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
The pasta is just sugar. That's just sugar. So it
makes me feel bad. And and there's no because all
the sugar, you know, when I have the posts like
having a lot of sugar, so it makes I can't
really eat the pasta.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Steak.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Chickens they have a gorgonzola steak, which is actually pretty good.
It's like gorgonzola steak bite. Things never had an olive
garden steak. It doesn't even sound It's not terrible. It's
not terrible terrible. That's a rousing endorsement. Not everything. There's pasta, Yeah,
you can definitely get these. I get to here's what
I'll do, sugar free pasta.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I'll get two meatballs and I'll have the salad and
bread steaks and just grunt through it and get something
to eat when I get home.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I've got a friend of mine who's going to do that.
He says he's going to order a pizza after Mother's
Day dinner. And I'm like, come on, man, like you
gotta enjoy the meal my.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Mom my mom Mary Ellen said, oh, we we need
to make reservations.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
And I'm like, I don't think you can make reservations
at Olive Garden.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, you can do it.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
They got a chicken margarita, they got the salmon, the solon.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You can get a chicken stuff marsala, you know, not
chicken marsala is also good.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, it is a pleasure on my There's Day's not
about you, That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Goddamn.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I said, you're grumbling, and I'm grumbling to you guys
like I'm gonna take a hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Nobody's listening to people been snitching lately. Ask Angel about
his banner.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I'm gonna take him out of the garden. I'm gonna
grin and act like I like it because they love it.
That's my mom and Marianne love the olive garden.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I love that for you. My daughter loves it too,
like all the girls.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Like everybody loves olive garden. The garden slogan in the
nineties is like where the family comes together, or something
like your family when you're here, your family, so you
know it.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
It's such a great slogan. That's perfect.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I'd much rather go to Red Lobster, but there's none
on this side of town. I could take her to
the one over by Uh, there's one over on waterfl Lakes.
You don't have to drive it all, just the truck
will drive you. It's perfect. That Carl Black GM you
know what. We're actually driving to go pick my mom up.
My mom up, but we have to get in her
car because she can't get up in the hummer because.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
It's do you do any lower it? She can't get
in it. You know, I have haven't even tried low
internet yet. Maybe she could. Yeah, those hydraulics are pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I got to test that out today.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Say how low it gets and then if you put
it in uh hummer. If it gets low the baby
she could get in the hummer. We could take the hummer.
Why not pick your mom up and put her in
the hummer? Does your mom like the hummer? Because she
won't she says she can't get up in it. But
like you pick her up? Yeah, you physically pick her
up and put her lift her like dirty dancing.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
In the corner. This is turning a weird turn. So
what are you doing for your more weird?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I don't want to divulge it all just because my
wife is listening, but uh, we have a nice little
day planned uh, and we are going to be doing.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
A dinner that uh we're going to be going. That's
for your wife. What about like her mom? Do you
do something for her mom?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I make sure that both of the moms get flowers
and cards. Okay, So I was just reminding my wife
two days ago, it's important that she signs that Mother's
Day car because I signed the one for my mom
and have all the kids signed, and she does it
for her mom.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
So you just said the moms just get flowers, but
you take your wife out for dinner.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Yeah, if obviously, if any of the moms are in town,
I take them out too. But you know it's the
I know my kids are still young, so I think
it's important for them to celebrate their mom And wait, okay,
dumb question, But I'm a man who's married, doesn't have kids.
On Mother's Day, you have to do something for your wife. Yeah,
it's from the kids, right, it's from the kids, but it's.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Because you know she's shouldn't have any kids. Like I
just pulled out smart Way and go get her a gift.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Smart man. So I know here the observation made by
the Texters. Uh uh, so Russ can eat five cold
Taco Bell tacos, but he can't eat at all of them.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's good point. A cold taco bell time Mexico. I
had several of that. He had Uber Eats Deliver. Yeah,
this man Uber eats tuckle Bell. I didn't want to
move because I was watching this really great. Have you
ever heard of this?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
This book called The Lord of the Flies. Yeah, they
got a TV show. Really that was a TV show.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I love it? Do you do you really well? The Piggy, Yeah,
Piggy's awesome. Don't tell him anything. What happens to Piggy?
But Piggy is the best?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Is it really a spoiler if it's like sixty years later,
I've never read the book or the cliff notes?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
He didn't know, he doesn't know. This is to be surprised.
But yeah, okay, what's happen whole Piggy? He he didn't
get killed? Does he dead? Silent?
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I'm gonna I'm gonna hate this. Turns out he becomes
a vampire. And then it's part of the Lost Boy.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
