Speaker 1 (00:00):
We just couldn't not interview with the opportunity, and so
we haven't played Beat Bucky since Ashley embarrassed a three
time Jeopardy.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Champion on our airwaves.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
I don't I think it was one of the great
achievements of your career, I frankly, And we haven't played
against a contestant. I'm going to say in a couple
of months, we haven't played Beat Bucky against an actual caller.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, I missed it. Yeah, I know. Sorry, Bucky. Ashley
and I are both sorry. Yeah, I know you guys,
you've been trying to get it in but we've been
so busy. Yeah, now all is right in the world.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I know. It's the thing you look forward to most
in life. Really, you know, your children coming home from Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Second.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, and when Grace comes running up and goes daddy
like that is pales of comparison to my joy that
I feel when we play this.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I know, man, I'm really sorry, buddy, right, yeah, but
it's back now, it's back now. So consider this like
ten Gracie hugs. All right, We're going to meet our
contestant here in a moment. But let me explain the rules.
We play a little trivia game on Thursday. It's kind
of set up like Jeopardy. We got three categories, we
got five questions each, but we don't tally up points.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
That's so old.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Score for losers.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, we tally up runs, and like Jeopardy, if you
answer question incorrectly, we will take runs off of your score.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
So whoever ends up with the most runs at the
end of the game will win. And really the.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Entire objective is to beat Bucky. Ashley's going to play.
She might finish first, but the idea is for you,
the contestant, to beat Bucky, and as long as you
beat Bucky's score, you are going to win our fabulous
prize today.

Speaker 5 (01:44):

Climate Pledgerina on November twenty third, which is Sunday.

as a grand slam.

Speaker 4 (05:27):

All right?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
It's an Audio Daily double. Manuel, make sure you got
your radio down. We're getting a little bit of feedback
on that. Yeah, so just listen over your phonephone my headphones.
Oh no, okay, okay, all right, here we go, Emmanuel.
The Audio Daily double is for you and you alone.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
And since you don't have any points, the only thing
that we can do is go by the number of
runs that are available, and we have to double it.
So this is worth ten runs.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, that works.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
It's a double. It's an Audio Daily doubles out. Yeah,
it's the only thing we can do. Yea. Yeah, read
your rule book. Yeah I don't think that's rule.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
This one's really difficult though, So you can't risk in
lost here, and this is going to be a really
difficult one for you to get unfortunately, but then again,
it is worth the ten runs.

So name this deeper track warrant song. Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Got no answer to that time.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Wow, my goodness. We tried to give you ten runs,
to give you ten runs to take ten away.

Wow, uh, that must have been an easy one.

Speaker 2 (07:29):

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Oh oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna save that.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
You have you a run for that. You're up to
minus one. I give you a run.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's not just telling the answer, but entertaining us. Thank you,
Thank you for that, all right, nice work, Bucky, Emanuel,

Speaker 2 (07:57):

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Turkey it is These are parts of the bird that
you might eat, parts of the bird that you might
eat for one run, Homer, Simultaneous leg and arm movements
will keep you on your chest for this swimming stroke.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Bucky, Bucky breast. Breast is correct. Yeah, that's a part
of the turkey.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
For some reason, I was picturing like that, you like
a turkey wing, so I was like, you'd have an elbow,
and then I was like in one legout.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Well, alright, Bucky, you're out of the hole. You're up
to a zero thanks to your singing. Stick with the bird.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
All right, we're gonna stick with the bird. And this
is for a two run Homer. It's what you earn
when you win a hole in match play.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
But oh he said his name, he hasn't yet.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Okay, it's what you earn when you win a hole
in match play.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
I'm confused at how that would be a part of
the bird. So I don't think that's the right word.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Correct answer is skin? Oh, skin, Yeah, it's a skin
that you win. Yeah, all right, everybody loves turkey.

the franchise that Page Becker's plays for all.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Right, emmanually, you got three runs, you're tied with Ashley
for the lead, and you have control of the board.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Where do you want to go? Do you want to
keep with Turkey?

Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, let's stay with Turkey?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
All right? Parts of the bird for run. Homer the

Do you want to close out the category emmanual?

Speaker 6 (11:26):
Yeah, let's let's finish, all right.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Five run Homer. He wants to be done with it,
even though this is where you've made your mark. Five
run Homer. Western Illinois universities are leather and Houston XFL's
teams were rough.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
But next, I like watching your brain.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I could hear it.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
It hurts.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
It was actually painful. Was a rough neck rough? I
was thinking rough riders.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Was like, that's not a.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Turkey.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Otherwise I've been missing out.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Next, Western Illinois leathernecks and the Houston refnecks.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
My mom would eat the neck. That's pretty gross. I
think it is too all right. She was a sick woman.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Five for three for Ashley, three for a manual, and
we have one more category two go.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
It is Tater's. These are ways to prep potatoes.

(12:50):
and Comedy's Stephen Bueller's Cameron The Guardian's day.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
They're old fries. See, maybe that's how you can make
a potato. All right. Two run Homer for Ashley gives
her five runs. She's right on Bucky's trail. Emmanuel, you're
right there, You're right there. All right, here we go.
A three run Homer is the Bucky ball buster.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
All right, man, you gotta be careful with this one,
because you can risk losing runs on this one.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, uh says, because if you have.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
To risk any amount of the three runs that you have,
but if you get it wrong, Bucky gets the runs.

Another point? Please you get three.

Speaker 1 (15:25):

ended this game. But we will finish out the category
taters for a or two. There's two left. Four Runomer,

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Emmanuel, you did not beat Bucky, but because you listened
to the show, you were a great sport and you
made it to the end. We're still going to give
you the tickets to the Heart concerts. So congratulations on that.
Thank you for listening, and have a very happy Thanksgiving sir.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
You take care, guys.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
All right, we're gonna put you on hold. Do not
hang up, Do not hang up. We need some information
from you. So Emmanuel cannot go around town and rent
and tell people that he beat Bucky.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
That would be a crime. You can be arrested for
that jail time, Emmanuel, but you do get to go
see Heart in concert. So there you go. Thank you
very much, Emmanuel, and a successful.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
Return of beat Bucky.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yes, well, very successful when I win fourteen runs as
well done, well done? Anything No cherry Pie held either,
Why Emmanuel, you're grounded?

Speaker 5 (17:08):
You take a lap so sad when we think like
something so easy and then someone's like, I'm not as
old as you ass hats all right?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Coming up next, Mike Sando will be joining us. I
guarantee he's heard the sound cherry Pie. Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ R f M.

Speaker 7 (17:26):
It's time for our Thursday visit with Mike Sando of
the Athletic and brought to you by Hunt Services.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Get on the horn and call Hunts Now with Mike.
Here's Chuck and budd.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yes, every Thursday a chance to chat with the Mike
Sando or NFL insider from the Athletic, and he is
with us. A lot to discuss from the National Football League.
But the most important thing to ask him here this
morning is have you heard of the song cherry Pie
by Warrant?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
No, I'll stop at you're kidding, right, I don't know gee?

Speaker 7 (17:59):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Oh, yes, okay, yes, oh you're going way back? Yeah back?
Oh yeah yeah, yes, I thought so. You just caught
me off guard. I wasn't in. I was trying to think,
is this a new thing? Of course I remember that song.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Okay, good Do you never wear acid washed jeans either?

Speaker 6 (18:15):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Have a bullet? Yeah? Did you tight roll your pants?

Speaker 6 (18:20):
Absolutely? I did all those things we used to in
that era, you know, early eighties. Probably there used to
be a place called Miller's Outposts, remember that. Yeah, and
they would sell like a bunch of Levi's type stuff,
and so yeah, it was. It was a really weird
thing to like get these jeans and then actually bleach them.
You put them in the you know, you basically ruin them.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
The only thing, the only thing that you confessed with
sheer embarrassment was the mullet. That's you know through all
of that.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
Well I did have I did have a little bit
of it, wasn't I definitely had it go longer in
the back. I remember those that had the flaps in
the back. Remember those h yeah, ear warmer flaps they
had how do you describe it? They had two flaps,
one we go down that cover where the bullet would be.

(19:13):
Remember those, Oh I do not, Yeah, you remember those
what are they called?

Speaker 2 (19:18):
This is like me saying I didn't hat mullet helmets.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (19:21):
You remember those hats, mullet protectors.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
All that I know is if you didn't have your
I'm looking at you, didn't have your mullet permed like
I did, you didn't really have a mullet.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Someone said they called them shower painters hats or trapper hats.
Remember those they had. Anyway, that's all you. Things were
different and you were wearing them.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
I guarantee you were wearing geographical regions. All right, let's
talk some football.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I mean, it's it's pretty easy to notice that the
Tennessee Titans are a bad football team, maybe the worst
in the National Football League. I just did a round
table where everybody on the round table thinks this is
just a run away. Is there any way that Tennessee
can threaten the Seahawks at all this Sunday?

Speaker 6 (20:06):
I don't think so. I think it'll be a very
difficult game for you know, they have a rookie quarterback
who's not in a great position to win.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
You know, obviously they the coach that brought him into
the league was forced to lose his play calling duties
after three games. They fired him after six. I don't
think they have a you know, they have an interim
coach who's not necessarily a super strong personality or leaders.
So I think they are in a difficult situation and

(20:35):
it would be hard for me to imagine a path
for their offense to function well in the game.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah, their offense against the Seahawks defense, and I mean,
especially coming off of that loss. Wouldn't you expect that
the Seahawks Sam Darnold in particular, is going to be
kind of out for blood prove something.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Right, Yeah, you would think so. Now I do think
that their defense, you know, so you got you know,
their defensive coordinator is a Mike McDonald old guy too.
They run the same type of defense. They were both
Baltimore guys, So you know they're they're gonna have they
They may they may be schemed pretty well defensively, and

(21:15):
you know, Seattle could have a little different mix on
the offensive line. Do They haven't said if grays Abel's
playing yet, right, They have not said that. Yeah, So
it seems like a game that Grey's Abel probably wouldn't play,
doesn't it seem likely to you?

Speaker 1 (21:28):
It sounds like he's not. According to Grell, it doesn't
sound like he's going.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
To And this team has been cautious. Remember they had
a game where Witherspoon and Love both practiced, the DBS
both practiced on like Friday and or full Go, and
they didn't play them. So to me, they've been cautious,
like they're building this thing for the end of the
year too. So I would think they would have, you know,
withhold guys who are maybe banged up, you know, offensively,

(21:58):
you offensively, there's a chance to be out of rhythm,
is what I'm saying. They could be well schemed. They
could give you some problems up front, you know. And
so I don't think Seattle's are well old machine offensively
right now, right, they just can't. If you take away
one thing, it's guaranteed the other thing's going to be there.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Mike Sander was whether it's still looking up mullet protectors
here in the background as we talk to Mike every
single Thursday on the radio program, in all of your days,
have you ever seen anything as absurd as this Shador
Sanders story. The extreme of those that are rooting for
him to fail, and then the extreme on the other

(22:38):
side of people that have think he has been just
so wronged by the process. I find both of them absurd,
and it feels like there are very few of us
in the middle.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
Yeah, I think it's I was thinking about this the
other day of how invested people are in it and
why they are, and I'm not super I'm not invested
in it either way. I mean, I hope he you know,
I guess I you know, hope he develops like any
other young quarterback. I feel like we just need him

(23:11):
to play over a little bit longer period of time
so there's something actually to analyze and evaluate that's meaningful.
And I think this one has been such a weird situation.
Cleveland's such a strange team, you know, they just they
do things as if there's always some puppeteer in the background,

(23:31):
the owner or somebody that's doing things that that maybe
the coach and even the GMS sometimes wouldn't do, So
it feels disjointed. I think it's a very strange situation
for sure standards to go into. And then I think
he's a very unique player in terms of his background
with being Dean Sanders kid. So there's just a lot
of different things kind of going on here and in

(23:53):
the end, he's going to be evaluated for how he plays.
Right now, there's a whole bunch of stuff that people
that we're just guessing, like how he's being handled, what
the true intentions of the team are, what's he doing
behind the scenes, what kind of teammate is he, what
kind of a guy is All that stuff is just
kind of bs to me. It's secondary to let's get
four or five games of him playing. And by the way,

(24:16):
if he's not good, name the last guy who was
a good quarterback in Cleveland, right, I mean, they haven't
gotten production out of anybody. People think Joe Flacco is
a success story there. They went on defense with Joe Flacco.
He didn't have good numbers, So he's probably gonna go
into the game not do that well and that might
not even be a reflection of him because of what
Cleveland is. So it's a messy type of situation. He's

(24:39):
been a lightning rod player. Some of that's how he
handles himself. Some of that says more about the people
that are evaluating him.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Do you think after that?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
I mean that one loss is one loss is not
that big of a deal that you could go on
a seven game streak here in this thing if you're
the Seahawks. But do you still consider the Seahawks a
top five team? Maybe you didn't before.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Top five.

Speaker 6 (25:01):
I think they are the top five, Oh, I do.
I think they're top five team in the league for sure.
I think they are good throughout their roster. I think
that they have a toughness to them. They're developing a
brand of football, and I think they've got the brand
of football now in defense. They hit, and I've been
encouraged that it seems like they developed players. You know,

(25:23):
a month ago, you could have easily made a case
for some of these guys. Tyakotta would be one of them, like,
are what are they doing? He's not an NFL player
right and now he's making plays. So I think they
have an identity on the oppositive side of the ball,
defension of the ball, and they're developing it on offense.
And I think we just really need to see the
run game come along for it to round out and

(25:46):
not put it, you know, all in the passing game.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Where do you rank Kansas City right now? Top five,
top ten, top fifteen.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
Who's who you asking about Kansas City? Well, I think
Kansas City's probably more of a top ten team. Uh,
and you know their record says are not quite that.
But I do think that they are still a pretty
good team. But something is missing.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
And all right, we'll close with this Thursday night football
tonight Buffalo and Houston. What's the most intriguing storyline in
this one?

Speaker 6 (26:21):
I think it's really who are the Bills?

Speaker 5 (26:24):
To me?

Speaker 6 (26:24):
I was thinking of this yesterday. The Texans just don't
intrigue me. Do they intrigue you? Is there anything about
the Texans that makes you want to watch the Texans?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Not really?

Speaker 6 (26:33):
Not really, like, is there anything that's compelling about them?
I think I have a very good defense team. Yeah,
I just feel like we're still sort of stuck offensively
in what is stroud or what are they going to be?
So I'm sort of deferring judgment for them. I think
the Bills are very much a week to week team,
Like how good are they really? And they're going to
play this tough defense? So I think that component of

(26:55):
it to me, you know, we're in an evalue. We're
sort of a value in these teams like Buffalo and
Kansas City every week, where we used to not really
worry about him if they had a one off game. Hey,
these are the teams that are going to be there
in the end. I think we're kind of evaluating, aren't we.
And I feel like, like you said it is Kansas
City a top ten or fifteen. We never would have
said that last year even right right, I haven't said

(27:16):
that for years. So yeah, I'm intrigued by the buffaloes
and the Kansas Cities of the world. So I want
to see what the bills are every week.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
All right, Well, go grab your mullet, hat, your walk man,
play some cherry piewak. You go walk the dog.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
I'll definitely I'm going to go walk the dog. I'll
do that right now, thank you. Okay.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, Here NFL insider Mike Sando from the Athletic. If
you want to follow him, do so at Sando NFL.
He joins us every Thursday thanks to our friends at
Hunts Services, get a plumber, electrician, heating or cooling expert
at your doorstep for.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Only forty nine dollars. Get on the horn, ah and
call Hunts.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
One last thing is next on kJ R, my final
segment of the radio program. Here on this Thursday, of course,
Football Friday tomorrow, Ashley, Bucky Chuck with you, we go

(28:25):
round the horn for one last thing, Bucky lead us off.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
I thought it'd be an okay discussion to have about
that new media deal. I think some folks are maybe
jumping off of cliffs or at least stepping near the edge.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
When it comes down to it.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
So I called a couple of folks from the Mariners,
and they don't have all of the details ironed out
at this point, but it doesn't sound like it's going
to be some crazy subscription thing necessarily. It's MLB basically
has a new deal with ESPN and Peacock and NBC
a new media rates with them.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Now.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
The Mariners have also, along with I think five other
teams have basically given the rights to the broadcasting the
production of their games to the MOB. So it's kind
of they've married the MOB, or they've given them the
rights to the broadcasting, and then the MOB has a
new deal for Mariners amongst other teams. I think the

(29:23):
other teams are like Colorado Guardians, Padres, Diamondbacks. I think
there's one more in there. Two, but the Minnesota Twins
I think you're in there as well. Anyway, it's one
of those. My main thing that I was wanting to
talk about was, Okay, is this just flat out streaming?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
No, it's not flat out streaming.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Last year they had the Root Sports Plus where you
could if you'd cut the cord, you could.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Watch the games with that. That obviously has gone along
with Root Sports.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
You'll still have the ability if you're out of market
and you want to watch it MLB TV, and essentially
because they're marrying to the ESPN, you can actually they're
assuming you're going to be able to watch the games
on the ESPN app as well. I was like, what
about traditional if you just have cable, and they said,
we are fairly confident that there is going to be

(30:15):
a channel for you to watch just like you did before.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
So basically, to me, it was one of those Oh,
that's interesting, and I was interested because I kind of
have all of it, which sucks because I'm probably paying
four hundred five hundred dollars a month for all my
TV watching.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
But I think you'll be able to have it whichever
way you go.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
If you're still cable guy, you're going to be able
to Yeah, if you're just straight, strictly streaming.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
You're still going to be able to have it. I
don't think that this is some giant money grab.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, it makes it sound like when you read that
that you're going to have to get a new subscription
or you might have to do pay per view for
Mariners baseball. I think maybe that eventually is going to
happen in the sport, which I think is a terrible idea.
But for right now, you should still be able to
watch it even if you have Exfinity for free on

(31:07):
your normal cable box, just as you always have just
a different channel.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Worth noting too, though, if you are a T mobile
cell phone user, they offer free MLBtv every season, So
a lot of people don't know that.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
We had it for a year and didn't know until
this year.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah, there are a lot of things like that, you
don't know, bundles.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah, there are.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
So I don't think it's as bad as what people
might have reacted to. I was also very curious. I
was like, wait a minute, what is happening here? But
after read up on it a little bit, doesn't look
like it's going to change our lives all that much,
not initially anyway. No, Yeah, all right, it is Ashley's
one last thing?

Speaker 2 (31:44):
What do you got? Okay?

Speaker 5 (31:46):
So our text line isn't working obviously, right, We're getting
all these texts, but we can't respond to any of
our wonderful listeners who are trying to participate throughout the show.
So I thought I just wanted to let people know
that we saw you, and I wanted to react to
a couple of your texts.

Speaker 8 (32:01):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
So that is not me on the super Sure advertisements.
So I cannot let you know what super Sure is
or why you should care about it. I appreciate that
you thought it was me not giving you information, but
it was not me. Also, yep, bounce backs are still broken.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
We are getting your picks. That's another one. Let's see.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
We also had where was there was another one? Oh
lots of people big fans of beat Bucky today. They
really liked the bleeped out cherry Pie. Uh someone said that.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
That I can give.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
I know people really enjoy it when Bucky gets the runs.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
That's not funny.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Somebody wrote, I literally was gonna switch the station after
Emmanuel couldn't get Cherry Pie, but then he went and
got Dallas Wings and totally redeemed himself.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
It made me laugh though, And then our friend Keith,
who really loves the eagle that's not really an eagle
screech for Lucky Eagle Casino in Hotel his suggestion, next
time I have to bleep out the words of a
song used the eagle screech in s Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
I think about that. Yeah, Case always thinking, he is
always thinking.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
That's creative type.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
And they said they're called painters caps or sun defender
the hats that.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
I talk about it.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
You know what, maybe I'll use my one last thing
on that because I rocked the kind of mullet that
Bucky's talking about, Yeah, the real mullet where okay uh
and i'd ever not in the Midwest. Did we ever
have painters caps that went with the mullet or covered
the mullet up or anything?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I know not where not where I grew up.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Maybe they did exist, now that I think about it,
I kind of remember a couple of eighties movies okay,
where a couple of characters may have had those, but
they certainly not. Only were they not popular where I
grew up. I don't think one person had it at
my school.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
I remember them being a thing.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Just I don't remember anybody I knew wearing it. Why
would you want to cover the mullet exactly?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
I got it in such perfect shape before school.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Was putting moose in that bad boy and want covered
with some flappy flap on a hat. No now flap,
get me wrong. At the end of basketball practice, the
day had worn off, the moose was out of it,
and it was just like at Afro, like an Afro
mullet thing, just poofy coming out in the back. Probably
should have had a flap hat on that bad boy.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
They brought a post basketball flap hat.

Speaker 7 (34:29):
It was.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
I mean, the eighties, I would argue, is as fun
and great a decade as there's ever been in America.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I really would argue that.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
And yet our fashion and our hair was the dumbest
thing anyone has ever worn. I mean, I remember, I
remember thinking when I was a kid, like the sixties
flare pants the bottom bell bottoms were so stupid. And
then they came back into fashion and I'm like, they
actually looked kind of cool, and I ended up having
a pair. Then I've seen recently, like a couple of

(35:02):
younger kids try to that do wear mullets.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Nope, not the same effect. They look stupid. I looked stupid.
You looked stupid when we wore those mullets. But it
was the thing to wear. I genuinely, I can't believe
it's coming back like it's not kind of it's.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Back like it is a big thing. Really, a lot
of young kids are just addicted to the eighties. They're
all doing eighties stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Well, I'm just going to tell you kids, I am
ninety five percent sure that the Good Lord saw my
hairdoo because it wasn't just a perm mull in the back.
It was a spike on top and so like there
was a cutoff spart where it went from spike to mullet.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
And it was the worst I've seen a picture of
me from the back. From the front. It looked bad.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
From the site, it looked bad. From the back, it
looked horrendously. I think God was just like, if you're
going to do that, you don't deserve working hair fall period.
You are now both you're gonna be bald at twenty two.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
At least you know why it happened.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
I'm fine with it.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
I'm fine with it. You've learned your lesson yeah, I
would not, but kids don't do it. You will look
back and you'll be like, God, I look like an idiot.
The worst hairdooes ever. They so the girls, the big
Cobra everything. Yeah, my sister dumb here again.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
Just because we can't respond to anyone on the text
they're saying about this MLB TV app.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
You can stream it on your TV.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
If your TV has streaming options, you can download the
app and watch it on your TV.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
It's not just phone or iPad. Just letting people know,
all right, I can't respond.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
