Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back.
Now we're sued by whoever owns the welcome back cotter theme song.
I don't know.
Anyways, welcome back everybody to a brand new episode of Chirping from the Pine.
My name is Josh. I'm here today with good buddy Adam.
Yes, I need you to hit the...
You must have thought it was white boy day.
Oh, fuck. Hold on.

(00:48):
Damn, no audio.
And we still have the theme song going. Oh, shit.
You must have thought it was white boy day.
You must have thought it was white boy day.
I think I thought it was white boy day today.
Fucking bullshit.
Fuck the whole... Fuck the Tom Brady.
PG, brother.
PG, brother.
Hey, I'll say this, man. I like talking about Tom Brady, but I also like talking about how

(01:11):
he sucks ass.
Yeah.
Like, I love Tom Brady. He was a great dude. All right. When he comes to play football.
Yes.
Sort of like a rain man of being a quarterback.
Yes. And unfortunately, that does not portray well as a color commentator for football.
None whatsoever. It does not. And we're going to talk about that. We're also going to talk
about... We're going to talk about amateur baseball in the nineties a little bit. I'm

(01:34):
going to tell some stories about shit from back in the days and some realizations that
I had this past week. And it's a little depressing, but whatever. That'll be your main events
after we talk about Tom Brady and the NFL bullshit going on. Because I also want to
talk about how I do think that the NFL is fucking rigged.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, it is. It is. And so anyways, before we get to that, GameRage magazine, Instagram,

(01:55):
TikTok, YouTube. Go to GameRageMag on Twitter, if you like that one. You can also follow
along Adam at AllGasNoTrashOfficial on Instagram and YouTube. You can also find him on Substack,
Substack.com forward slash at AllGasNoTrashOfficial. And I'll say this, Adam was doing a Substack
before it was cool. Okay. Just keep that in mind. All right. All these little fuck boys

(02:18):
on TikTok. Oh my God, the TikTok is being banned. Please follow me on Substack so I
can maybe make some money. Now, Adam was doing that before it was cool. All right. So there
you go. OG. Anyways. All right. Start off with Tom Brady again. Tom Brady. Terrible
commentary.

(02:38):
It's, it's.
NFC championship, dude. Washington Redskins versus the Philadelphia, Philadelphia Eagles.
And I'm thinking, dude, what happened, man? I understand to some degree that on the field

(03:00):
acuity for football can't really translate to, it's not one to one, right? No, it's not.
There's a difference between commentating and there's a difference between playing football,
knowing the game to a T it doesn't translate so immediately. Yeah. You know, who's a good

(03:20):
example of that too? What on the coaching side is Bill Belichick. Oh dude, that dude
is fucking. He has the personality of a fucking two by four. Yeah, he does. Like it is so
dry. And like when he tells a joke, he's like, and he grunts, dude. I think it's funny, but

(03:40):
it's terrible. And then you have the comedic element from Marsha and Lynch saying it. I
just don't want to get fined. Yeah. And I think you can either be great at football
or you can be great at commentary. It can't be both. Okay. If you look at like Peyton
Manning, right? Peyton Manning does commentary pretty well, but he also like only one, two

(04:03):
super bowls or whatever, right? That also applies for Eli. Eli same thing too. Only
one, two fucking super bowls, but he's pretty good at commentary. Tom Brady won seven and
he can't talk for shit. Tony Romo didn't win any fucking super bowls and he fucking commentates
like motherfucking gold dude. He is, he is a fucking top tier level commentator. Yeah.
And he, I mean, he's called out schemes and they're like, Oh, this guy, this player can

(04:26):
do that. Boom fucking 40 yard touchdown because he knew the layout of the defensive scheme.
Yeah. And, and excellent commentary, excellent commentator. Also, they did kind of fuck up
at the end of the chiefs and Bill's game because the refs had the flags ready to go in case

(04:48):
they made that reception to take it to first down. Cause it was 29, 20 fucking seven or
whatever or 29, 26 or something like that. And it was fucking four. It was third and
like eight and what's his name? Josh Allen goes back to throw and he fucking, and I will

(05:14):
say he made a hell of a throw for getting that. I can't believe that fucking offensive
line. Let that shit happen. That's that is weak as shit, but he still got the throw off
and got it. Like the dude should have caught that. And so they immediately threw a, they
said flag on the play and then the flag thing came up on the TV as a flag. And then everybody
goes like, Oh, wait a minute. And he's like, nah, I don't think there was a flag. And then

(05:38):
the one dude was like, no, I swear to God, I saw him throw a flag. And then somebody
must have yelled at him in his headset, like shut the fuck up about that flag. And then
all of a sudden it disappeared. And they were like, the referees didn't even acknowledge
it coming out and saying there was no flag on the play. The announcer just like, no.
So I think the refs were fucking already ready to throw a flag if they would have made that
reception. Therefore either repeating the down or having to do something where they

(06:02):
were not likely to get it because they needed that for, cause once that happened, it was
fourth and it was fourth and eight. And once that happened, it was it. It turned over on
downs and the chiefs won the game because they had whatever three timeouts left and
it was like a minute and a half or whatever left. And they just fucking ran out the clock.

(06:22):
I thought. So that was my opinion. I think that was fucking totally rigged. And I thought
if the bills had a chance, if they maintained the score within the touchdown and they were
the last team to drive, but they had a chance to win. And that's exactly how it played out.
But of course, didn't work out that way. Josh Allen is now the, he just got sonned by fucking

(06:51):
Patrick Mahomes for the fourth fucking time. Therefore this is never going to happen.
Now Buffalo bills will always be the bridesmaid in the AFC.
No, no, no. I don't think they will always be the bridesmaid because my opinion, what's
going to happen now is Patrick Mahomes. They're going to, they're, they're going to fucking
win. They're going to get the three Pete, right? History. They talk. Well, they talked

(07:14):
about this fucking two years ago before they played the last super bowl and they were like,
oh yeah, we're going to do a three Pete. It's like, oh, you guys gave away the fucking script.
So they know, you know, this is going to happen. And as long as Travis Kelsey is dating fucking
Taylor Swift, the chiefs will be super bowl champions every time. I have a feeling. I
don't know if it'll be after the super bowl, but when that happens and they split up, the

(07:41):
chiefs are going to fall off the fucking planet. They're going to fall off the map. And what's
crazy is they've won 16 games in a row now, 16 games in a row. Shit. Well, no, not 16
games. Well, 16 games in a row that have been by one point fuck or one possession leads.
How many did the new England Patriots win? So the Patriots used to blow motherfuckers

(08:05):
out. This is like, actually, I think it's, I think it's more, I think they, this, this
last game was like, I think the 17th or 18th game that they won by in a row by not, not
in a row in a row, but like, because they lost one or two games in this during the regular
season, I think. But it's of their victories. This was the 17th victory in a row that they've
had that has been by one possession. And it's like, they, that's now the record. And the

(08:32):
Patriots used to blow motherfuckers out every fucking, every, every game that season that
they went fucking undefeated and ended up losing the Superbowl. They were beaten teams
like by fucking three, four fucking touchdowns. And that's one of the things that I was like,
I kind of do think that the referees are, that this is being rigged in that favor because

(08:55):
the Chiefs, I don't think are that good of a team. And Andy Reid is not that fucking
good of a coach.
He's also been, Bryant's made numerous times to Bill Belichick.
Right, exactly. And so I think that the, the, the reason the rigging is happening and it's
like, cause the Chiefs aren't that good. So it's like, oh, it only comes down to that
one possession. And honestly, even if it's not rigged, yeah, sure. You're still beating

(09:16):
people and you can say what you want, but no one will ever be as dominant as the Patriots
were during that fucking 20 year run in terms of beating people's asses. Cause yeah, so
what you're winning by one possession, but they were beaten people's asses for fucking
decades. And that just was what it was. Now, granted, when you get to the playoffs, it's

(09:37):
a little different and they'd win by fucking the three, a field goal or whatever sometimes.
But during the regular season, man, they used to beat the fuck out of people and they would
not let up even in the fucking, the conference championship games. And even in the playoffs,
they would just, if they fucking stepped on your neck or they would just keep going. And
yeah, they'd run up. I'm a shit. I remember one time they played, I think they played

(10:00):
the fucking bills in one of the fucking like the AFC championship or whatever. And they
fucking, they fucking beat them like 60 to like 25 or something like that. They whooped
their fucking ass. And it was just like, yeah, go fuck yourselves. Like the chiefs ain't
doing that to anybody. And I just, I just think that's kind of indicative to me of,

(10:23):
of there's kind of something else going on here. Like it ain't, it's not all luck, but
it's like a little, like you can't be that lucky. Like no one can be that lucky to just
win by one possession or a field or a field goal every fucking game of the season and
every fucking game. It's like, eh, it's a little, I don't know. It's a little fishy
if you ask me. So I wasn't, I wasn't done with Tom Brady. Yeah, go ahead. Go back to

(10:43):
Tom Brady. Cause fuck that guy.
Uh, the only thing I really had to say was that, man, dude, you know what he really thrives
in is talking shit about the game. When he says the level play is so mediocre or all
the bullshit that he says about how the game was better when he was involved. Yeah. And
he probably has numerous points because he is a kind of a point of authority for football

(11:06):
and stuff like that. I think when he comes across from that form, as if, if there was
something to carry into commentary, dude, go full fucking heel as color commentator,
man. Talk about how this fucking asshole, this motherfucking asshole at quarterback
can't do this or that. This is where his shortcomings are being critical of the game, dude. That

(11:31):
because there's enough people that do praise. There's enough people that do praise. They
could use somebody that just dogs on the fucking game, dude. Yeah. We needed Jerry, the King
of Lawler like type character in there. And Tom Brady could fill that role. He did kind
of start that when he was talking shit about my homes and he was saying in like an interview,
if he would have carried that on in the commentary, that would have been cool. But he said in

(11:53):
an interview, cause they were asking him about, Oh, like all these roughing the passer and
all these fucking things that, that, that my homes, all these calls that keeps getting.
And he's like, yeah, man. He's like, I never fucking got those calls. He's like, uh, they
used to beat my ass. And he's like, you just gotta fucking take it or, uh, you gotta figure
out how to not get hit. And he's like, if you're running at a dude, Oh, what are you

(12:16):
supposed to expect them to stop and like lightly, gently touch you? And he basically called
Patrick Mahomes a giant pussy. And it was fucking hilarious. And I'm like, yeah, good.
He is a giant pussy fucking call out where it is. Yeah. And I mean, he was notorious
for being a fucking prick on the sideline. He was like the equivalent of a Kobe Bryant
when he was active for the Lakers. Yeah. That he would just scrutinize dudes for being bitches

(12:40):
and that they weren't putting in the work ethic that he was to be champ and a testament
to his, his work ethic, dude, the dude is seven times world champion. Yeah. And no one
else is ever going to fucking touch that. I don't know. I mean, I think these three that
the homes are going to get, I think that's it. I think, I think, I don't think, I think
they're going to give them the whole enchilada dude. I think he's going to be number eight.

(13:02):
I don't think, I think he's going to get it. Yeah. There's no fucking way he's going to
get it. I doubt, I, there's no way he's not good enough. He's not that good, dude. He's
seven years in, I think, or six years in, and he's already had three Superbowls, including
one. See, this is where I think the argument for goat quarterback is always going to go
back to if he does go to eight and I don't, I hate admitting this, but Tom Brady beat

(13:31):
Patrick Mahone's in the AFC championship. I think before, wait, was it the AFC championship
or just, I mean, he beat him in the Superbowl, but I think he actually beat him in the AFC
championship before he jumped ship over to Tampa Bay and then he beat his ass again.
So there's no dispute. There's no argument to be made about who is the goat quarterback

(13:54):
of all time. It's Tom Brady, whether it doesn't matter if it's fucking nine rings for Patrick
Mahomes. The fact is if Patrick Mahomes, if Patrick Mahomes is the goat quarterback or
is disputed as one of the goat quarterbacks, you fucking kick the door down and say, well,
Tom Brady's two and oh against them in the AFC championship and in the Superbowl and

(14:16):
in the Superbowl. So there, there it is. So yeah, I agree. I, there's no Kobe and Jordan
argument that can be made here because Kobe and Jordan didn't ever face each face each
other. So you can, you can have that argument all you want. It's theoretical. There's evidence
here. They face each other and you just, you weren't up to snuff, bud. Like that's just

(14:39):
what's up and you can't, you can't fucking blame them. And also I feel like the level
of competition back during that time was a lot better than it is now. Oh, I mean it was
nasty dude. I mean, dude's fucking, I mean, Ray Lewis took your fucking head off from
the Baltimore rapes. Yeah. What fucking murdering people. Um, I mean, yeah, the defensive side

(15:01):
of the game was fucking way more brutal than it is now. And I'm sure there was, I mean,
I don't know what decade this was, but I know there was like things that were, there was
like head hunting. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was happening all in the early two thousands
too. All that was like in the eighties, nineties and like early two thousands. I feel like,
um, and yeah, they were just very crazy. And yeah, I, I, I just think that that argument

(15:24):
doesn't exist here in the NFL. The goat is Tom Brady. It's, it's, it's undisputed at
this point. Even if my homes gets eight, you still weren't as good as Brady. Yeah. So,
and then shit. I mean, but by that same token, Eli Manning can say he's better than fucking
Tom Brady because he beat him two times. No, because he doesn't have the numbers. He doesn't
have the numbers, but he still beat him twice. Yeah. But he doesn't have the numbers. So

(15:46):
I think, I think also part of the problem is that Tom Brady's also live this, uh, very
curated curated persona, very diplomatic answers when it comes to the media and shit. So maybe
he kind of damaged himself and that's kind of tripped over into him doing commentating
where he doesn't give any form of like true analysis of the sport.

(16:10):
Because he's going back to old sayings like, Oh, you gotta win a football game yard by
yard or some bullshit like that, dude. And that, that doesn't really cut it. That's why
I think Greg Olson just cuts fucking loose and, and is able to, to discuss the finer
details of football because I don't think he thinks about what he should say. He just

(16:30):
fucking does it. Tony Romo. He just does it. Yeah. It says it says it. And I think maybe
for Tom Brady, he thinks too much about how can I parse this down to the fucking normies?
Like we understand football is a pretty basic game. I mean, I mean, the nuance is going
to come from him, but I don't think he knows which parts are the most relevant or the most

(16:52):
important. So he just said, if he ends up being like Donnie, yabba dee, gooby dee, gooby
dee, go from a wild Thorberry dude, man, I get world championships. Dude, he should just
go full Scott Steiner. That would be, that would be fucking crazy. Yeah. Um, so he's

(17:16):
talking about bitches and tall, my freaks in Tampa Bay. That'd be hilarious. What did
you, what else did you have for this episode? Oh yeah. So I wanted to go back to talking
about, I mean, we kind of highlighted it in a vast previous episode about, you know, playing
baseball back in the day. Okay. But I just, I once again had this realization about, maybe

(17:43):
this is a new revelation, but so I was going to go into fucking get donuts for Chloe the
other day and I go outside the store and I go in and I fucking get my shit. And then
I come out, this dude asked me for fucking change or whatever. And I didn't have any
fucking cash. So I'm like, yeah, you know, normally I'll flip the dudes like a dollar
or two, like, you know, whatever, you know, try to help them out so they can get their

(18:03):
crack or whatever. I mean, I mean, listen, it's bad enough that they're fucking homeless.
I mean, Christ, if that's what you want to do, man, live your life, man. Like be you,
be you. I don't give a fuck. I'll give you a couple of dollars to help you out. I'm not
an asshole. But I told him I don't got any dollars. Fuck off, leave me alone. Like I
got no cash. So and then I realized I'm like, man, like I didn't recognize the voice because

(18:26):
the voice sounded like fucking I thought it was a woman, first of all, to be like, I thought
it was a lady. And then when I looked, I was like, ah, whatever, some dude. And then I
was like, oh, wait a minute, I think I fucking know this guy. And then I get in the car
and I'm sitting there for a minute, I'm staring and I'm watching him pick his fucking face.
And I'm like, God damn it, I do know this fucking guy. And it's a dude that's like was

(18:47):
younger than me, but like we played baseball together. And I'm just like, fuck man. Like
I started thinking about it. And I really do truly the numbers are skewed. And the numbers
don't lie. They don't lie. Because the numbers are that of guys that I played with personally

(19:12):
or like had some sort of interaction with. There's more dudes in that time period that
played like what was called travel baseball back in the late 90s. I don't know, I'm sure
it still exists today. But I think it's in a different format now. But the travel baseball
we used to play back in the late 90s to the early 2000s. There's more guys that were in

(19:35):
that class of dudes that that died from drug overdoses or became drug addicts, then made
it to play professional baseball. And what's crazy is that was the whole point of all that
shit was to propel this like group up into playing professional baseball by playing the
best of the best. Because I'll tell you right now, there was nowhere else in the country

(19:56):
that was like people would come here from out of state and around like to come play
baseball because they wanted to get into the what was the most competitive and best, I
don't know, like scene or whatever you want to call it for baseball back during that time.
Now, granted, remember, this is like fucking 30 years ago going on now. So I don't know
what it's like now. I'm always speaking about my experience from 30 years ago, or fuck,

(20:20):
however, I was like fucking 30 years ago. But that time period was crazy. In that, I
understand and see what because there was only two options. There was either you just
fucking like, develop a really thick ass fucking skin, or you just fell into some sort of addiction.
Like that's that's that's what happened. And or I mean, I guess there was a third option

(20:44):
where like you kind of just became a bitch because there's some dudes that I know that
like they kind of just became a bitch. And it was because they developed a lot of anxieties,
a lot of weird shit. And that's that's what that environment bred was pushing people to
the limit. And man, like I think about it, man. And it was it was so fucked up because

(21:05):
our parents paid like fucking a bunch of money to do this shit. Right. Like you paid to play
on these fucking teams. But it was like you were treated like you were on you were on
like a major league team and you were like signed with a travel team. You paid you signed
like a little fucking contract and you we all had to pitch in to pay for like to go to tournaments

(21:26):
and play at tournaments and shit and do all that stuff. And, you know, you had to go to
practices. We had we had to all split like the fucking pay for, you know, to rent the
fields and like do all that bullshit. And so, you know, fuck there were tryouts like travel
teams had tryouts and shit like I'm ready to go fucking try out. And what's crazy is there's

(21:46):
some guys I know I'd love to fucking talk to them and just get their perspective on it because I
don't know the perspective on it because like there were dudes that fucking bench sat like
there were dudes that I know that rarely played and they were paying the same amount to be there
as like I was paying. And so I just want to I just want to know like at what point do you just say

(22:08):
man what the fuck dude because like I know that people were just like OK if my son is on this
team and they're just in the vicinity of this they're likely going to get on the team in high
school or whatever because like you kind of had to do that like back then you built up like a resume

(22:30):
and you've got this resume of OK these are all the teams I've played on and like I mean listen
that's what got me on the fucking that's what got me in high school was I had this resume and it was
like cool you got all these these teams you've played for and these travel teams and you've got
all these like accolades and shit for playing on these teams and these teams have reputations and

(22:55):
like OK cool like we'll be cool with that we'll take you on and that's that's kind of how it was
and it's like people stayed on and like OK my kid will get into high school and so there were guys
that like yeah never like rarely played but they'd go to some like smaller ass high school and be
like oh just because they were on the team and affiliated like that got you in the door and it's

(23:20):
like OK cool but it's like I just like to hear their perspective on that on what that was like
for them because for me I was unfortunate in the sense that like I mean or maybe I was fortunate
I don't know like when I went on travel ball I had to learn how to play a completely different
fucking position because of course as was my luck most of the time the coach's kid was always

(23:43):
fucking a catcher or whatever so I always kind of got fucked and like I didn't want to bench sit
so for me I could hit and so just say what you want my dad's crazy and whatnot but he always
had this fucking saying of like if you can and he was so hard on me for fucking hitting he didn't
really give two shits about the catching that was just like an ends to a means I guess he him and

(24:07):
my uncle fucking harped the fuck out of me on hitting I remember going to my uncle's house in
fucking Norco and he set up this whole batting cage this whole fucking batting cage in the
backyard and I would go there fucking like four times five times a week motherfucker you're gonna
hit every part of the goddamn strike zone yes 100% and I just they'd throw shit and like oh dude it

(24:28):
was like it was fucking hell dude I had this thing in the backyard it was this new technology
was called the solo hitter all right and it was essentially this piece these pieces of metal it
was a metal square with a net and then there were two triangles that came off of it and it was this
pulley system that had a baseball in the middle of it and you could adjust it to wherever you wanted
in the strike zone and you stand there and you fucking hit it it goes on the pulleys and then

(24:51):
it comes back and then you wait you reset and then you have fucking hit again all right dude I my dad
would make me go do a hundred fucking reps on the solo hitter which took like two fucking hours
because you had to wait for the ball to fucking come back and reset and like you'd be like no you'd
go out there you'd do fucking 25 reps inside corner you 25 reps outside corner you need to do

(25:11):
fucking uh 20 reps low outside corner 25 reps uh high inside whatever and I'd just be like fucking
out there just like losing my fucking mind and then um he had this he did have this thing though
it was like if you could hit they'll find somewhere for you to play and so my hitting is what got me
drafted or picked up by this fucking travel team was because I could hit and uh that got me like

(25:35):
recruited I went and tried out and they were like cool but they were like hey we don't got no dh and
uh you know you're you ain't playing catcher it ain't happening so you need we need to put you
somewhere and so I was just like oh would I recommend play third base so then they sent me
the third base and it sucked because there was this dude that was their third baseman for like

(25:57):
three years and I walked in day one and took his fucking job and he sat he was one of those guys
that I rarely saw get to play because he couldn't fucking hit that was his problem you just couldn't
fucking hit he was a great third baseman I mean he was probably a better third baseman than I would
ever be um in the terms of like actually playing the position but he couldn't hit for jack shit so

(26:19):
that's why that's how I stole his job but uh I was a little crazier because I was a catcher so like
I was used to getting dirty so like I would dive for shit and be do all this crazy shit that no one
else was willing to do and defensively I did pretty fucking good and I had the arm that was the other
thing he had no fucking arm he could pitch a little bit but he couldn't really throw from
third base all the way to first it was like very slow it is a lot of throw but I was used to throwing

(26:43):
from home plate to second base on a consistent basis yeah like that's true I got I got the
arm strikes for that so like anyway so I took this dude's job and uh it was sad but I'd like to find
him and talk to him and just find out like what his perspective of that whole experience was
but again there were a lot of guys that I played with that that later after high school like and

(27:04):
after you know they didn't make it basically like these guys died of drug overdoses and there were
many more dudes that dropped died of drug overdoses then made it to the professional level in baseball
fuck hell even then made it to the fucking minor level minor league level
most guys didn't even fucking go play college so I hate to say it man but when you're when your

(27:28):
whole life is fucking baseball too and I'm not just it's not exclusively baseball it's just sports in
general yeah when you become a lifer dude that shit's kind of fucking lame yeah it sucks because
you spend your time a majority of your time I get it man you love the fucking sport I love baseball
I never played it or anything like that oh actually technically I did and when you know

(27:51):
backyard baseball to that type of shit or when you play in the streets with all the neighborhood
kids and all that stuff but it ends at some point but the people that continue to do it man it's
just just let it go dude let it go for me it was junior year of high school that's when I really
truly realized how much I fucking hate baseball like I actually hate it I don't I don't enjoy it

(28:12):
at all and I gave it to senior year and I'm just like dude I fucking hate this and I'm just like I
don't want to do this anymore like I don't want to even fuck with trunt because again it's it's not
even it's not even the the level of pressure or any of that stuff it's just like why the fuck am
I doing this the likelihood of me fucking succeeding and being a professional baseball player is

(28:37):
probably close to zero I hate these assholes that I'm playing with I hate the coaches I fucking hate
this I hate playing baseball like it sucks now and there was a point back in the day where I loved it
but really I look back and I really started to think around when I was like 12 is when I really
started to not like it and that's all your weekends yeah and then by nature of you know

(29:01):
it just being my life for fucking all I mean pretty much it was my life for 10 years for a decade
my life was just from basically like eight to 18 it was it was baseball man that was it
it was all there was and that shit sucks after a while and sure the dudes that can fucking go
hey that's what you really want to do man cool like good for you but it just wasn't for me and

(29:25):
and it sucks that a lot of a lot of guys that didn't make it turn you know that pressure fucking
that got them and you know I'm sure and this sucks to say but I'm sure that there were dudes
a lot of guys that their dad spent a bunch of their fucking money to put them through this in
the hopes that it would get them to the professional level and then when they didn't make it that their

(29:49):
dad's kind of held a lot of resentment against them yeah I'm sure that exists and uh I think
that's a little drives a lot of these guys to do that to to go to drugs or whatever you know to
gain some sort of addiction or whatever you want to call it yeah and who's that really about is it
about your son who you put you were hoping that he achieved that level for you or for him

(30:13):
because you couldn't hack it or you couldn't fucking do it and you thought oh fuck if I have
a boy maybe I have a shot at having this kid do something that I could never do yeah I mean
that's kind of what it is that's kind of what I think it is and it's it's just like shit man
like we all were put under that uh living the dreams of our fathers essentially like we were

(30:39):
all that's how we all were fucking thrown into that mix and I think to some degree
there's nothing wrong with that because I think with every generation that comes afterwards that
you hope that the next will be a little bit better in some way but stepping on the gas and saying
fuck you you're gonna be you're gonna be Michael Jordan you better be Michael Jordan and if you

(31:00):
don't become Michael Jordan we're gonna disown you yeah for a lot of guys for a lot of dads that did
that I feel it was good intentions with horrific execution yeah um I feel like there's a lot of
people that were coming from a good place but they just did not fucking execute it well at all
because their fathers didn't like their fathers beat them mercilessly probably so you know they

(31:23):
didn't know or drank heavily drilled them to until they uh yeah developed fucking tendonitis right
yeah basically um so I feel like that's kind of where that comes from and uh you know for me like
talking about on here it's it's you know it's therapeutic because like yeah that's fucking some
traumatic shit you're doing when you're eight to fucking you know eight to eighteen years old like

(31:48):
you're you're becoming a young man and like you're living this traumatic fucking shit and also like
we were kind of treated as like you know these like semi-professional athletes where basically
like I mean we kind of got away with shit too like we kind of got to do shit because it's like oh
that's those guys are they're they're the baseball guys we you know we they're gonna be somebody

(32:09):
someday so like oh they could get get away with shit like you know um oh we could let them we could
let them go do you know other things or whatever we can let them get away with shit that other kids
probably couldn't get away with c-minus yeah exactly uh well listen that's that's how I passed high
school like I I got more c's just because I was on a sports team and what was lucky for me is I would

(32:33):
get like teachers that were also sports coaches so like uh I'll never forget them and the dude's
probably dead by now because I think he was fucking 60 30 years ago but his name was Mr. Comrosky
and he was a fucking the he was my chemistry teacher when I was I think a sophomore
and I had a fucking I had a d and I'm like listen man like if I don't get a c in this fucking class

(32:58):
I'm not gonna make grades and like and I'm a key a key member of this fucking team and he was just
like and I was like listen man if one of your tennis guys because he was a tennis coach
and I was like listen I mean your tennis guys was like you know whoa what would you do and he was
like ah fuck I'd give him a c and I was like that's what I'm talking about I was like exactly and I

(33:19):
was like see how easy it is he was like god damn it Josh you drive a very good fucking point here
and he's like you know what see it is and he changed my grade into a c and I did nothing you
see all right let's just test you right here you're like bases and asses which part of the
scale are they I didn't know any of that shit I still don't know any of that shit he's like uh I
don't know but he literally said to me he's like you know what Josh he's like you show up to the

(33:43):
class every day and he's like you might be retarded he told me he might you might be retarded when it
comes to science and I'm like yeah you're probably right and he's like but you show up to class every
day and he's like you know what all these other assholes talk and they fucking piss me off and
he's like you don't ever fucking piss me off so he's like you know what he's like I like what
you're saying and you haven't pissed me off so I was like I'll give you that c and he said but it's

(34:06):
also not a leap it's not like you were asking for an a or b yeah just make it so I don't get kicked
off the team that's all I'm asking for and then he literally told me you know what man because this
mind you this is also first semester okay this this is at the beginning of the year
yeah you're already you're already fucking up okay and he tells me he told he told me he's like you

(34:26):
show up every fucking day and he's like you come in and you fucking just sit there and say nothing
he's like you you don't have to do anything else you will have a c in this class and I was like
thank fucking god because I was gonna fail the fuck out of this class so yeah I I came so guess
what I did every fucking day I showed up to that fucking class and you know what I did I sat in the

(34:47):
back and I didn't I pretended like no one fucking existed and I was like nobody's you ain't talking
to me bitch I'm fucking go away whore harlots get out of my face I do not want to see your thong
all right go away I'm trying to pass this class by not speaking so therefore and also not learning
so like go fuck yourself so um yeah that's I passed I got c's in multiple classes because of that

(35:10):
so you know it is what it I also also fucking jump I I gamed so you could you could be on the team as
so you could have I think you could have one f or was it no f's I don't remember or it was like you
could have d's and shit so like I remember uh in the rotc class they were fucking being assholes

(35:31):
and they gave me a b1 fucking year for one semester and I needed and I had a d in another class and
it dropped my gpa to 2.9 or 1.9 whatever because you need 2.0 right yeah you need 2.5 yeah so
whatever it was I was one point below and if they would have put it to a fucking a it would have
got me above to stay and so I went and think I was like motherfucker I do all this shit for you guys

(35:53):
and you're gonna do me like this and they were just like yeah all right and then she fucking
changed it they just changed it to an a and I was like thanks and then that was it and then fucking
uh you know then two years later I mutinied against them and had a whole fucking thing which
is a whole other story for another day but yeah so being on the baseball team let's fucking get away
with shit football same deal and football man I remember when I was on that home and hospital

(36:15):
thing fucking coach coach random the football coach was the home and hospital teacher he literally
showed up and he was like he came once a week and he's like came on a monday he's like here's your
packet don't call me and then he left and then I came and he came back and it was literally like
one plus one two plus two it was basic shit english it was like the cat is orange like and complete

(36:38):
the sentence or spell the words right he was my fucking uh he was my sex ed teacher coach
random i bet that was fucking hilarious yeah i don't remember a whole lot but i'm talking about
vaginas god damn it quit laughing you fucking idiots yeah i don't remember a whole lot i just
remember you as my fucking teacher that's hilarious and so uh so anyways so you got away with a lot

(37:00):
you got away with a lot of shit and then you come back the next week and just be like did you do it
he wouldn't even he'd look to see if i did the first page and he'd be like hey and then that
would be it so then i started only doing the first page once i knew i could get we're gonna run that
scam never caught on this was like cool first page done hey rest of it was blank and 20 years later
you're on fentanyl no i'm one of the ones that wasn't on fentanyl well i mean not you in particular

(37:24):
but just the other guys that yeah the other guys well no what's funny is most of those assholes
they were getting a's and b's and they got fucking now they're on fentanyl like now they're on dude
now they're doing crack in the street that guy i remember that dude was always getting like awards
for fucking being smart like and i remember that dude that i saw outside of thing that asked me for
fucking change was one of those like clean cut jesus kids that got like fucking straight a's

(37:51):
and now here you are sucking dick for crack on the streets 30 years later why probably because of the
pressure from baseball i don't know i'm going to say i don't know i could be wrong this is also a
small sample this doesn't speak on the behalf of all no it doesn't baseball teams i'm talking about
from the inland empire those orange county kids i don't know any of their shit all right i'm just

(38:12):
talking about talk about the i.e kids i don't know man you just the way their their fingernails were
cut the pinky one looked particularly long oh i'm sure they were doing the coke for sure because
they had the money they had the money to do it they had the money to do the top end drugs that
you can get off of easy not the poverty shit no the poverty fentanyl lace shit that was what we
were getting in the end we were getting the meth with fucking like yeah yeah we were doing that

(38:35):
crocodile shit that was eating people turning people into zombies that's the shit our guys
were doing out here um but yeah so it is what it is and our parents tried i guess but i just they
just horribly executed it and a lot of guys suffered for that what do you think the balance
is for being a parent when it comes to if your kid decides they want to be competitive about a sport

(39:00):
but also keeping yourself in check and making sure that this is something that they want to do
and not just oh i'm gonna lift through my fucking kid yeah you can't do that you just need to be
support that's all you need to be you don't need to be like the coach in there fucking doing shit
just support and help and like with chloe i'm not pushing her to play softball or do anything like

(39:25):
that yeah i could take and coach a softball team i know fucking i know baseball i know so i know
that shit i could easily do that and i'm not going to unless she wants to do it all right because
what's the point um i don't need her to do i need her to do what she wants to do and there's katie
and i both agreed when when we had her that we were gonna say you need to do at least one sport

(39:50):
and you need to do one art so for katie katie does this the choir so like that's your art you
can do the choir with with mom and then you can do whatever sport you want chloe's been into dance
and like gymnastics and now she's doing like this cheer thing so like cool that's your sport she
she enjoys it she didn't i mean it's funny because she didn't like doing one of the dance classes and

(40:10):
i'm like cool you don't like it and she was crying and all sad i don't want to go cool you don't
got to go no one's forcing you to go if you don't want to do it that's cool pick another one and
she picked another one and then ended up loving it so it's like okay cool and then if you don't
want to do dance or cheer anymore okay cool let's go try something else do you want to do soccer you
want to do fucking whatever why was she afraid uh she was afraid she wasn't afraid she was like

(40:30):
sad that she didn't want to go because she didn't like it and she was like i think because at those
places i think that they're all so exuberant about like doing the dance and they love it that she
just because this was also you know she's whatever six so like you know and this was back when she
was five she was even younger and i don't think she could have processed the emotions of like saying
i don't want to do something like telling people no especially that were so like forceful because

(40:54):
they were pretty like oh yeah we love this and this is great it's like i just don't think she knew
how to convey that to them and not because she would feel bad she would feel bad about making
them sad that she didn't want to do the thing that they liked so much i think is what it was
is why she was like oh yeah i want to go she was crying and then all the stuff and it's like okay
cool you don't gotta be afraid i'll tell the motherfuckers you don't want to go you don't

(41:15):
gotta tell them shit i got you don't worry about it i'll take care of that part that's easy i love
that i love telling people shit sorry you don't gotta worry about that um suck my ass suck my
balls yep she ain't coming go fuck yourself we're out of here um so yeah so now uh that's that's it
it's like cool you gotta do at least one sport and you gotta do one art that's it that's all you
gotta do it's not it's not that difficult so and i'm not fucking in here yelling at you and doing

(41:40):
the dance moves 18 fucking thousand ways or 25 times no i'm not doing that you do it how you
want to do it and if you want support and you want some advice yeah sure i'll tell you what i think
i'll show you how to do it or whatever and then that's how it is so you know i think that's the
best way to do it and approach it is not to be like super hard on it's just to give them what they

(42:01):
need not tell them what they need that's where i think our parents made the mistake of telling
us what we needed to do hey little johnny i think you need to start juicing yeah i think you need to
start fucking i think you need to get on the sauce all right like you need to step on the gas here
buddy all right you're you're looking a little weak you're looking a little tiny you got that
warning track power i got the thing that can get you over that i can take you over the top yep

(42:22):
i can get you the thing that'll hit you more dingers than anybody you've ever seen in your life buddy
and then that's how kids get on steroids but anyways so yeah so that's where i think it's at and
what else there's something else i was gonna say too but i don't know i fucking forgot
it's escaped my mind but that's that's how it was and that's my perspective and this is this is

(42:48):
this is the these are the things that happened from the way i saw it and if anybody disagrees with me
well you had a different perspective so go fuck yourself i mean that's pretty much how it is
imagine there's thousands of comments man my childhood was exactly like this and i hate my
father now and i also did crack yeah that'd be great if i could get a bunch of comments about

(43:08):
that because that that would actually validate what i'm saying uh i mean i'm not wrong i tell
you that right now i'm definitely not wrong there are more guys that died than fucking have made it
to the pros that's just that's just the fact all right this is a fucking fact and say what you want
