(00:00):
Hey everybody, welcome to Jon D podcast. I'm your host Jon D Miller. Welcome to episode number 56 everybody number 56 numero

(00:08):
Cinquenta y seis in the old espanol language. That's right. Mm-hmm
962 going on
963 days now
By the time you hear this no booze no booze no booze
How are yees? How are yous? How are y'alls? All right. I know the world's gone a little crazy, hasn't it?

(00:30):
You know, we all know what's going on. I don't need to rehash it
I don't need to you know, we might talk about some of it. I don't know
well, I'll talk and you can listen and maybe something I say will be a
Relevance to you or but I don't want to talk about that yet
I want to say first off everybody who's followed the podcast for a while knows that I was a comedian back years ago

(00:53):
Got out of it for a long time and but I'm back into it. I want to give a shout out one of my more recent
Comedy buddies, mr. Patrick Logan for having me at his show back on the first and it was awesome
So this was fun on a couple of different levels. Okay
First off I had seen Patrick a couple weeks prior to the show and said hey, man

(01:17):
I'm looking forward to coming doing your room there and he said yeah awesome. And I said if it's okay with you
Like you know cuz I was asking like how much time you want me to do it, you know, what do we got?
What what's going on? That's what a comic finds out ahead of time, you know, how much time?
What do you want to do any content restrictions anything like that?
And he said no, no, you can do whatever you want. Just you know, and I said, okay

(01:40):
You know within reason obviously
He said yeah, I said I'm just gonna come in and just go and I'm just gonna you know, put it on
And just see what happens and it was fun. I had such a good time
It was I've really felt like I got the comedy engine out there on the highway for a little bit not you know

(02:02):
When you bring a when you bring a car I bring an engine
You know
You kind of revamp it a little bit or maybe try to clean it out a little bit you try to warm it up a little
You don't just take it straight out onto the you know full speed and I did really more of a club set now
I did do quite a bit of my older material
Mixed in with some newer stuff that I feel is good

(02:25):
Now I did throw I have thrown away a bunch of stuff that I just don't want to do anymore
But that was fun because I had not done those entire bits, you know, I hadn't I hadn't done in a while
So it was cool kind of it's to take those out
Wave them around a little bit get you know kind of unfurl my flag a little bit and just kind of aired out
Those those different those different bits and that was fun. And then I had some new stuff. That was really cool a

(02:52):
couple things that
One thing I just what I got this one joke. I'm trying to work out
And it just I can't get the end of it. I
Just can't get the end of it. I don't I have the pretty it's pretty good. It's pretty pretty good on the
in the beginning part
It's actually sort of a joke. I wrote with executive producer. Domic. That's his voicemail when he called

(03:16):
He he and I were talking about something one night and we we came up with it
And I don't want to say here because I don't want to give it away. But at the same time
So yeah, I just I can't stick the end there on it
And sometimes it happens and sometimes you know bits, you know that when you write them don't always

(03:37):
Get them
Right, you know at the very beginning and I've always said that I mean that's what comedy is you take stuff
You figure out an idea and a premise you take it out you add two pieces on to it here and there
And then you take it out to the masses and you show the people what you got now
some bits they just don't end up being

(03:57):
much of anything I mean any of the greats will tell you
That they're just some bits that they work on and work on and ideas and they just don't do it
And then there's some that maybe they just tried to make too big and they're just little short things
I've definitely had some of my more successful bits that I did or jokes or whatever you want to call them

(04:18):
Over the course of you know, my career
Working in what I what I did that
You know they that they were just simple things and I tried to make them into like something else
That was very large and grand and this whole elaborate bit and I'm not necessarily really an elaborate bit comic
You know some comics are some comics have great ways of just telling a story now

(04:40):
I've gotten better my storytelling. I think if anything my podcasting might have helped
In my in my stand-up. Sorry a just a little bit
Sorry, just adjust the mic here and
So I feel like that's actually helped me but but it was fun. I had a good time and all the comments were awesome
Holly Baumfalk

(05:01):
That that's her name. She was there. She's doing great. Sami Tamimi was awesome
Rome Davis would a
And then, Brian Williams is a I think is a pretty pretty talented
All these people are young people and I'm the old guy in those situations. I actually got a pretty good recording out of it

(05:22):
I just recorded on my phone. Just my phone sitting on the stool on the stage
And it was it was actually pretty good
I'm thinking and I've actually had a little work done to it and I'm not I'm not sure what to do with it
I'm not sure if I should just I might just take it and just put it on YouTube
Somebody suggested to me that I should put it on because it what I would do is basically I would

(05:47):
maybe make a little couple director cuts and
Or decisions, I guess one would say creative decisions and I would you know, maybe try to you know
cut it down to something that's you know, and just make it like a short little something and
Somebody was saying I could do that and then sell it for like

(06:07):
What they say five bucks
I said, that's too much. I'm not nothing. I know comedy. I make is worth five dollars the second part
Of why this was so interesting of a night
Was you know, so um Patrick had talked to me about this place for a while now
And so, you know, I started looking at where it was because I live, you know south of the city

(06:33):
And this is over on the north north lakeside area north side of Richmond
You know, I grew up on north side of Richmond, and spent a good part of my childhood over there
I'm sitting there on Sunday
The day of the show and I'm looking at the maps on my computer
And I'm looking, I'm like man. This is close because there was a place

(06:54):
That was near where this place
You know was where I was looking in the area of and there was called the Celebrity Room
And it was one of these places that was you know, it was like a family restaurant, but it was supposed to be styled and
themed after a place that's you know
People go like celebrities would go and hang out like these places that they have in like New York or LA or whatever

(07:16):
And it was supposed to be kind of like one of those like that. It had Elvis and you know pizza Greek salads
But Elvis was a lot in a lot of places just celebrities Lucille Ball and you know
just the celebrity room and I remember you know, we but my family went there a
Lot when I was a kid, we went there for birthdays. We went there for you know, just people visiting

(07:37):
You know my parents my parents
Separated and and you know split up when I was young but at different times with different step-parents
I went there with them and everything it was crazy just to walk into that place
Because that's where the show was but it wasn't called the celebrity room anymore. I've been redone
And was now called another round bar and grill and every first Sunday of the month

(08:02):
They have comedy if stand-up in there the bar. It's called the burnout room the burnout pit
So I don't know. I got a pretty good recording of it and I'm trying to decide what to do
Let me know what you want. What do you think I should do?
So I just put it on YouTube for fun
If I do that you got to tell everybody, you know, or or I could put it on iTunes for like two dollars

(08:22):
What do you think?
I don't know. I don't know what to do
You can write me at Jon D podcom at gmail.com
j-o-n-d podcom
At gmail.com and we can we will discuss it
We'll discuss it or I don't know
I'm gonna I think I have a good name for it and I think I'm gonna be able to do it

(08:43):
I don't know. I'm gonna I think I have a good name for it. And I think I have a pretty cool
they have a pretty cool cover for it already that I design myself and
you know, sometimes I feel like in my life like I have made things like that like this cover that I made and
I feel like some people in my life have you know said to me?

(09:06):
I don't what are you doing with that? That looks whatever and I've listened to them and then later on I've regretted it
And I'm not doing that shit anymore
So I'm gonna try to figure out what to do with this recording. I have of it
I think I think it'd be cool and I might just put it on YouTube
But we'll see
Yeah, it was a good time. Thank you to Patrick for having me out. That was awesome. That was everybody was great

(09:30):
The you know that the young comics like I said, I just keep hanging out with these people and they it's it's reinvigorating
But you know what at the same time?
It also reminds me of just how many years
I've lost in the you know in the business of telling jokes. I just how much time have I lost?

(09:51):
And
You know, I don't I don't regret anything. I have now I don't read anything. I have an awesome wife a
great awesome son and
You know, I have a family and everything else and
You know that my family stuck by me while trying to change a lot of things about my life
You know, where would I be?

(10:11):
But that was a good time. I had a very I had a lot of fun a lot of fun
It was it was good to get the old it was kind of like, you know
We're putting the band back together like, you know, I was putting the act back together
And I did but the the fact that I had so much
Liway, it felt so good. Just be able to just go out there and just do what I wanted
Weave around do whatever

(10:32):
Talk to people go back to my bit come come out of it
You know throw some in I actually had a couple cool lines that I had just thought of
The other right right on stage wrote a couple things on stage. I think maybe at least one of them
So that was tight. That was awesome. I had a good time. Thank you, Patrick

(10:52):
And he's been invited to be on the podcast. I don't know if he ever will
You should hear this guy talk. He's a he's a funny guy. All right
All right
Did you guys watch football? We'll be talking about that a little bit, but did you watch football?
This weekend, huh? Did you have fun? Did you have a good time? All right, my point we'll talk about that

(11:13):
my point with that
About bringing that up is of course, I'm sitting there. I know red zone does who does not love red zone. Oh my god. I
Love it. I haven't had it. I had it at first, for a couple years
That I'll that through different things one year. I think I had it for free and

(11:33):
The for some reason I had it and I wasn't supposed to and then that was with my old Verizon
cable
in yeah cable and then I
went to Hulu and
I
They had it for a minute. I don't know. I don't know what happened
But we had it now we don't and I'm kind of pissed about it. But here's the thing Hulu

(12:00):
You want people to have money
To pay for something that's an add-on like, you know NFL red zone
Then why don't you stop raising your fucking prices like they they what is it after October 12th?
My plan would start at whatever it was. It was 64 99
It's about to be 82 and 81 99 now. What is that?

(12:23):
That is bullshit, man
And it's really like that's the thing all this started all this streaming stuff. I've talked about it before
But now I'm even more fired up about it
Because you know, I would I love red zone. I would love to be able to have it
But I really I can't in just it's only ten dollars more month. It's also the fucking principle of it

(12:44):
Why do I need this pay ten dollars? The only thing I want in the stupid NFL red zone
Package that they have that you add on has things like MAV TV
Sportsman channel
FanDuel TV outdoor channel the wonderful awesome NFL red zone and
FanDuel racing who gives a shit about any of that stuff?

(13:06):
I don't know understand these people have all this money. They do this whole you know, the gambling thing
They're fan duel and all this other shit Caesar sports, but yeah
I even if I had the money to do that type of shit and just throw it away
I don't I wouldn't fucking do that stuff
Mostly because I'm addicted personality, but but that's the channel. I don't want anything other than it. Can I pay?

(13:29):
Seven dollars and just get the it's gotta be six dollars and just have red zone. That's what I'm saying
I don't need this other shit, but that's how they always do it
I don't need this other shit, but that's how they always do it and so my my complaint right now
Is that all these streaming services are simply becoming like the cable companies were streaming was supposed to save you money
And now it's suddenly become

(13:51):
This giant, you know this giant thing and it's just like I you know, I can't stand this, you know
This is absolutely ridiculous what they're charging and but this is part of the problem
The streaming companies are like, oh well, we're losing money. Well, then stop buying all this shit and putting it on your platform
Look, I'm not trying to go back to the days of having you know

(14:12):
What the TV went off and into that color test pattern that every night at you know
1 30 in the morning or 2 o'clock
I'm not trying to do that. I like having my late night TV. I'm up late night all the time
And you know, I love streaming stuff. I love doing all that stuff
I love Ahsoka, only murders in the building, The bear. I mean I do all that shit

(14:35):
But stop making so much stuff and then are buying it the studios make it
Then the platforms buy it if they want to show it. This is how it works anywhere else on regular television networks
And you know, I that is just it's just outrageous how much stuff they're doing and then how much stuff do we need?
And I know there's a lot of people on this planet

(14:57):
But god damn every time I turn around somebody's going oh, hey, have you seen this?
Have you seen this news? Have you seen this new series? No, I haven't you why you should it's awesome
Yo, you'll have a great. Yeah, it's great
Holy shit. I can't
You know, I'm really when I'm not streaming, you know, there's so many nights
I just sit around and I'm watching Bob's burgers or Two and a Half Men or

(15:22):
You know Modern Family
You know, there's stuff like that man. I'm not sitting I'm not sitting here or AFV
By the way, I think that Alfonso Ribero is a way better
Host than Tom Bergeron ever was
Nothing against the dude as a person. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but not my favorite Bob Saget, of course best

(15:45):
best AFV host ever and
Then I'll found Alfonso Ribero and then Bergeron and that's the only three that they've ever had. But anyway, that's not the point
Why are they they just keep making all this up?
They're just putting all this stuff out and then these these streaming platforms they keep doing it
And that's the other thing I don't understand. They just told me hey because I have a legacy thing
What the fuck is that a legacy account?

(16:07):
What am I sending it to college?
after me
Well since your since your dad paid us on teen thousands of dollars over the years
Yeah, you can go to Hulu University with the what?
It's a legacy account. But because I have a legacy account my original plan
Which I think with the live TV and started what 64.99 or something like that now it's going up eventually

(16:29):
after the 12th
I've already paid for this month. It goes to 81.99
Wouldn't you think that you would like reward the people who have been with you the longest?
Hey, whatever happen to customer loaded. No, just jack the fucking prices up
Oh, well, because it's costing us more why for you to put on more stuff that I don't watch

(16:50):
It's it's absolutely ridiculous everybody has all this their platforms they all have their own little
Whatever's and it's just becoming fucking ridiculous and we are literally paying for stuff that we don't even use
But the thing is is that they have you hooked in?
You know, they have you hooked in because there's certain things on everything that you want to watch
You're gonna paying for a bunch of different shit

(17:11):
You know even with Amazon Prime. Yeah, you get Amazon. Oh, you can watch Thursday Night Football
Well, no, I really have prime because I want free shipping and some of the other stuff but that you know, that's what it is
That's how they get you
Nothing's gonna stop it. You can't do anything about it
They're just gonna keep raising while we're losing money on stuff. Well, then stop making so much shit

(17:33):
We'll stop putting out so much stuff. Look, I love everything that Disney has made
With the all the Star Wars stuff. I love everything they've made so far some has been better than others, but it's all been awesome
If you're a Star Wars fan, you have to love it
Yeah, I've always argued that point you have to love it

(17:53):
But there's but it's like okay. Now, what do we have coming now? Well, now we have the accolade now
We have well, why don't you work on just a basic set of shit and just go from there?
And just go from there, you know, like I don't I don't get it. I don't know, you know, I love that
Hey, they have this new one called the acolyte. It's like holy shit. Well, this takes place a hundred years before
Any of the Skywalker Saga?

(18:15):
Okay
Alright, let's do that now like focus on something and just do it which by the way, I want to just say I think that every
Series every whatever they've done whether it be Mandalorian book of Boba Fett Ahsoka, Andor
the
Closing credits for every single one of them the music

(18:36):
Has been one of those ones that you know
I sit there and I watch it and whether I be watching it down here in my studio
Or if I'm upstairs in the living room or I'm out if I'm in the family room out in the basement
I will sit there. I will sit there and listen to the music because it's good music
It took me about four episodes of book of Boba Fett to realize they were

(18:57):
The in the song that the people were chanting Boba Fett
Boba Fett if you go if you go back and listen to it, you'll you'll get what I'm saying
But I think the music's been awesome
Fantastic and now I'm not gonna do any spoilers because there are a lot of people haven't seen it yet
Probably the final episode I've seen them all now and

(19:18):
Yeah, I gotta say I loved it
they left I'm gonna well I
Loved it like I said, I'm gonna give my opinion on it. I'm not gonna say what happens. I
Loved it. I really did. I the way that they left things was interesting
Let's put it that way. It was intriguing on a lot of levels

(19:38):
Rosario Dawson was amazing
They everybody was good. Everybody was good in that and then what's his name?
Mickelson. Yeah
as Thrawn oh
My god, it's
Oh my god, it was that was awesome because the voice
The voice was the person who played him in the cartoon the rebels cartoons. I

(20:01):
So enjoyed it. I so enjoyed it, but I gotta say the way that some of the stuff
Ended and where it's going and what I think could happen and at some point we'll talk about that on here
Regardless of whether you people have seen it or not
I'll give it a little more time
But I do want to say that the entire series once again

(20:24):
Shows what Dave Filoni needs what he deserves
When they were doing the sequels, right
We're doing seven eight and nine when when that was going on. I literally thought I said it to people
I was like, you know, I said to people
They they really need to give Dave Filoni one of those one of these movies to be able to direct and they didn't

(20:47):
They had JJ Abrams who I thought did a pretty good job in the first one Ryan Johnson. I liked the last Jedi
But I don't like some of the lines that he took with certain characters now
Then you got the rise of Skywalker, which I like it. I like it. It's not my favorite movie

(21:08):
In all the Star Wars in all the Skywalker saga. I
Will say that it's not it's not my favorite
And in a lot of ways it was some fan service and stuff like that and but who did it?
JJ Abrams with Dave fellow with Dave Filoni has shown he can do
Over the years constantly consistently

(21:29):
I think the only thing he's ever had sort of a flub on was the cartoon the animated series he did
Called resistance which was based in the time
the rise of the new order
Anyways, alright, I mean I could go on for hours about this, but I did enjoy a Soka
I think the music is awesome. I think they need to quit screwing around
Kathleen Kennedy and all those people over there. They need to quit screwing around let Filoni do a thing now

(21:55):
We do have the movie coming
Which of course is going to be the culmination of Mandalorian book of Boba Fett
a Soka
Those three series the Soka series ended. There's a lot to be figured out afterwards
right and
Are we gonna be able to see it and how long is gonna take us to see it because

(22:15):
People like Disney keep making things like the acolyte and they keep making these other series, which I I really I want to see what that is
I feel like it's a project that could have waited a little bit further down the line
If at all
We'll see what they do, but I hope there's a they hope there's at least a second season

(22:35):
of
Ahsoka some rumors are that they have already
film parts of the following season
lot to find out what happens
In that but it was good
If you follow the Clone Wars and you haven't seen and they're and rebels and you haven't seen the Soka you're really doing yourself a disservice

(22:55):
So make sure you check that out. I just wanted to say it's been nice. It's been awesome
None of them are gonna hear but I'm very glad that the writers straight up
very glad that the writers strike is over
And i'm not blaming this on the writers. I'm not saying the writers are doing anything wrong where i'm like, oh thank god
It's back. I was getting so tired of this shit because I understand why they were out there what they were doing it for

(23:18):
And all the above it's perfectly fine
I'm just glad it's over. It's so nice
You gotta check out some of the closer looks
That Seth Meyers did this week
Stupendous
Stupendous and that's the thing these writers add and do so much because if you didn't have these writers
that did things for things, you know stuff like

(23:41):
shows you watch on Disney
all the way to
You know people we watch on, you know, like Seth Meyers or any other stuff
These people if you didn't have writers you would not have Saturday Night Live. You would not have
The level of funny and talent that you get the level of content
The words coming out of their mouths

(24:04):
Chris Tucker, yeah
So they got it's over welcome back now get back to work because we're tired of these reruns people's
And and we don't want to sit around and wait all day to see
what happens
With some of our favorite content
I'm gonna take a break
All right
I'm gonna take a break. All right, well when we come back, uh some television that does not need writers

(24:29):
Well, maybe for the announcers or something because those people can't write their ways out of paper bags a lot of them
Especially chris collinsworth
Well, he's a good quarterback when you give him the ball and he can just throw it to somebody
Thank you chris. Anyways
Unless it really is as the conspiracy theory goes that the nfl and the nhl all sports are fixed. I don't think they are

(24:52):
But we don't need writers to make it happen
So we were talking about some nfl and then we're going to talk a little bit about what's been going on in the world

(28:41):
I I gotta pick the packers so i'm gonna go with the packers on that one
But you never know
I've been definitely wrong before there's one reason why
I don't do fantasy football anymore. And you know, I was talking about the the fan duel stuff. There's no reason why I don't do it
I maybe that's what that's what my maybe that's what my problem is all these other people who do it

(29:03):
They actually know what the what the fuck they're talking about
But I think I think I know I think I know
A little bit about sports the ones that I follow
NFL nhl
But the commanders who had started off
Thursday night
By losing to the chicago bears who were had not won all season. However, dit butt kiss may he rest in peace

(29:25):
I loved it, but dick butt kiss. I mean the name was funny to say but he was big and scary
You know, he he didn't but he did acting of course
He was football
That was a legend. I didn't realize I thought he was older than only 80
But he yeah, he passed away
And then that night
The hapless commanders

(29:46):
Happened to be playing the chicago bears. I think the football gods were saying yet. No
No, this is this is not happening. This is not happening
Mr. Butkus
Went went to wherever
He went to the afterlife
And you're not you know, you're not getting it
And they came out they looked, you know, I thought they had a chance actually at one point. Uh, it's just too much too much

(30:11):
Going on too much karma
All that fun stuff if that's one game if there's one game that the
Bears win this season
I don't think it doesn't matter who the opponent was
When the day that dick butkus dies
The bears gotta win
They gotta win
They gotta win. It has to be it has to happen that way

(30:33):
That's said and done
So as it sits now the washington football team
Is two and three
Don't get me wrong
My my team that I my football team
They didn't have a great week either
They're the flip opposite. I will get to them in a minute
All right, let's go around. So the game in london, right? They keep doing this they had the uh, 9 30 a.m

(30:55):
Is anybody getting up and watching this? That's actually not a fan
of these teams
I mean how often do you even meet a jaguars fan? I'm just just saying how often is that?
You see somebody. Oh, hey cool. You jaguars fan? No, I just like the jersey
you know
I don't know who's actually getting up and watching these games that are in london

(31:17):
I've watched parts of some but this only because my kid woke me up. That's what it is
If you're not a fan of these teams, you literally you have children
Or you you know
You know
He didn't sleep very well because
I'm just oh you have him in to sleep, you know
I remember those days

(31:37):
So yeah, I just who's watching these games, but anyways
Jaguars took them down took down the bills. I think the bills are not looking as they're not
They're not as good as they have been. I'm a josh allen fan
But and the jags are playing they're playing pretty good
Pretty pretty good, you know
That lawrence kid. It's got it

(31:58):
So that was a good. I mean I watched the replay of it. What's the highlights?
Texans falcons falcons beat the texans 2119. Yeah, I don't know about the falcons. It's weird
There they come they come out and they're like, yeah, they're big evil mean falcons and then other times they come out and they're like little little chicks
And yeah, so I don't know

(32:19):
texans
panthers lions lions panthers are terrible
lions
Lions are looking good
Colts beat the titans
They're now three and two colts are titans two and three. Oh, sorry the lions are four and one. Sorry
Yeah, the lions are man. That's good. That team is for real
Goff I think is playing really well. It's got a lot of weapons

(32:43):
In the in the offense there
Yeah, and the panthers are just miserable. I don't know why how
How colts titans what's happening?
What's up with this kid they got richardson?
All right, the quarterback got the concussion now. He's got the shoulder injury
That could be bad titans are just they're just always kind of there

(33:03):
We could do it, baby
No, all right. We had that one year. Yeah, he's lost by a foot
Dolphins are for real four and one beating the giants who uh, was it daniel jones went out daniel? Yeah, yeah, he went out
A neck injury that guy's been getting beat up all year not surprised it happened
Saints blowing out the patriots. This is another story. I want to talk about from this weekend football the saints

(33:26):
Blowing out the patriots. What the
Like that 34 to nothing the patriots are doing better. You look at bill bella check
Whenever you whenever I see him talk like in the aftergame press conferences last week against dallas
Uh this week against the saints he watched or rebuilding. Well, what does that mean when you start over?
This one this one reporter was asking him belichick was like he started over and he said

(33:48):
He started over and it's like his head
Like his head was just about to pop off his body. I'm not saying explode or anything
I'm just saying like it was just gonna pop off. I was just gonna you know, just a little and make a little noise
Just make that little
Right just and just kind of pop off and he'd be like holy shit what?
Dude billage and he just put it back on my body, please

(34:12):
And he put it back on and it would still work. That's the thing about belichick. It would still work
He'd still find a way to make it happen
Yeah, but 34 nothing. That's that's uh, that's bad
I saw the Steelers and the Ravens. That was one of my local games. I'm a Ravens fan kind of a Ravens fan
I like my second team lots of Steelers. So that was you know what the Steelers earn that that was a dirty

(34:34):
Like that. I don't mean dirty as in like, you know
Getting people getting kicked on the balls or anything. I'm saying
Um, I'm saying, you know, but it was a dirty
It was a scrappy football game and the Steelers came out
That was that was a 17 to 10
Cardinals looked tight today in their black helmets
But they that couldn't pull them off. They lost to the bangles 3420

(34:55):
Burrows looking tight. Everybody's down on burrow now
everybody talks about how
Uh, yeah, well, maybe he's he's he's falling off. He's falling off. You see him drop back. He's fighting injuries
He's doing whatever he can which by the way their white bangled uniforms look awesome
But no, he had a he had a huge he had a huge day
With uh with chase had that huge touchdown

(35:18):
Uh, yeah, they put the I mean they should have been the cardinals
They're better Cowboys should have beaten the Cardinals. The Cardinals should be oh and five right now
Eagles Rams 23-14 Eagles are just good that stupid push tush
tush push thing
Uh and then their coach
Uh, I can't stand him and that tush push thing is just

(35:42):
It's just stupid. The NFL is going to take a look at it
They're going to they should
I'm not saying that they should make it where it can't be done
I think there should be some sort of a rule or a regulation about kind of quite how it can't be done
I'm just waiting for somebody to do it
And just take it to an even more extreme. Well, they're literally just taking out

(36:02):
You know, they're literally just taking their helmets and just ramming them into the shins of the of the defensive linemen standing there
Like i'm just waiting for to get that bad and then they just pull out a bulldozer front loader
And they that pushes the quarterback ahead and they just back the thing back off and go. Hey, what are you doing? You know
But they you know, they say their argument is any other team could do it. That's their argument any other that's what they say

(36:26):
That's our argument any other team could do it
If they wanted to
But they don't so I don't know
all right
But yeah, they beat the beat the rams jets and broncos jets
Did you see anybody see the text?
Uh win that the jets they had the man they totally trolled the broncos

(36:48):
Talking about how the had a broncos was it kevin james?
I think it was kevin james was on it and he was talking about the face you make when you lose to the off season champions
And then uh chiefs and vikings. That was a good game
Uh, I don't just vikings just didn't have at the end, but there was a lot of shots actually on the camera
There was a lot of views you could get from different people where that's that stadium that they play in is pretty interesting

(37:10):
Although I did notice from the sky I told my son
Some of the sky cams they were showing the outside the stadium one the blimp
There were definitely
I was looking around because people talked about it even back during the when they had the super bowl there
What year was that was it 19? I don't know. I'm not gonna look at it now, but
When they had the super bowl there people were talking about there was just a lack of parking

(37:31):
I'm like well, it's in the middle of a city
That's what happens when you put these big stadiums like right
Into like nestled into like right of around around a big city
Yeah, you're not gonna have a lot of parking
It's not like it's you know way out
It's not like daytona daytona racetrack or some big state, you know, you got to park in a big field and you
No
No, I didn't like that

(37:52):
But that's what public transportation is for right?
Yeah, I thought it was good game though, but it's fucking my homes
It's several times several times today
Where he just he threw it out there and it's just
You know, it was it was really, you know, you're like, nah, it's not gonna fuck. All right. Yep. There it goes

(38:13):
And I wasn't rooting against him. I wasn't for against anybody in that game
And then of course kirk cousins. Yeah, you know
This pretty good
dude's pretty good
kid out of michigan state's pretty good, but
Uh, I just think at times at times
He just didn't go what the fuck are you thinking which brings me?

(38:35):
Which brings me
To the sunday night game where my my cowboys
Played the niners and I gotta tell you the niners are for real. This team is really good
Uh, and the cowboys are playing like shit. They play like they did against the cardinals
But you know once again, but this is the thing I don't ever my my team could be
16 and oh and i'd be going uh

(38:58):
I don't know
I don't know. We'll see
We'll see if it happens, but i'm a pessimist that way
Maybe just no, i'm a realistic pessimist
I just made it up. I just I don't think but they they came out they didn't look good
San francisco did look good. They came out. They got a fucking offside penalty

(39:20):
First play of the game some stupid
They got they got penalties and stupid shit
They look terrible
And I was doing I kept doing voiceovers whenever McCarthy was doing interviews
And the lady was like what do you think we should do in the second half and I I just started going
Well, I think you should probably just take this play calling ability away from me take my clipboard

(39:42):
And tell me to sit on the sideline and eat an icy pop because I really haven't known what I was doing for eight years
And
Just I just said that like man my kid was laughing, but that's what I feel
It's like I feel like it's coaching. They just I don't know what it is. They just they can't do it
I called dak, yuk prescott
Last night when I was texting with executive producer. Tom Hancuff. That's his voicemail when you call him and I was

(40:08):
The end they're talking about oh trey lance what better
story would it have been to bring trey lance out
And get him going
huh
But yeah, they
San francisco is for real i'm i'm uh, you know
Yep, i'm a cowboys fan had been for a very long time
40 definitely over 40 years

(40:28):
That's my team that's what I picked
So I do miss the red zone, but you know hulu what the hell you'd have a lot more people doing red zone
If you'd maybe just let's lower just
All right. All right. Well before I before I get to my last little segment here. I just want to do our
Charities real quick our charities No Kid Hungry, many school-aged children in situations where the best meal of the day for them comes from school

(40:56):
No kid hungry helps children with meals when children in need are away from school such as weekends and holidays
Oh, sorry
Sorry, I just my computer there. All right
Wounded Warrior Project
The brave men and women who have served our country deserve the best care we can give them after they return home

(41:17):
some of them have wounds that are external and or internal that they might need help with or
Even just accessible housing wounded warrior project
BestFriends.org
Is making a difference by helping homeless dogs and cats and shelters be adopted faster and in more numbers
Their goal is to have the entire country no kill by the shelters by the year

(41:38):
2025 check out and support all of those charities. Of course anything going on ukraine
And we'll get to everything else that's going on in other parts of the world
After all the charity if you got time for a little chair of me, you can support the show and my endeavors on
venmo at jondpodcom
But if it comes down to me or the charity

(42:00):
Right
Which brings me to my final segment. We all have seen what's happened in the last couple of days with what's going on in israel
You know, I sat there and I talked about at the top of the show
And I talked about hey, you know the world's gone crazy, but let's kind of get away from it for a little bit
And I know we're kind of coming back here now

(42:20):
but one of the things that I
Want to say is that this is just absolutely horrid
What is happening?
I'm not just talking about what's going on in israel talking about what's going on in ukraine
Has been going on and continues
Or i'm also talking about the way some other politicians

(42:40):
Are just literally blatantly lying and changing facts and trying to do
You know this preening peacock the former president wants to be
And this is the blatant bullshit that keeps keeps flying out of people's mouths
All the way from his attorneys to the rnc chairwoman
All kinds of other stuff the bullshit

(43:02):
And then this stuff happens and they turn around they just lie more shit on top of that
um, but I do want to say that you know, I
This is terrible. What's going on with with hamas and israel. I don't think people realize. I don't know if everybody realizes this
Because I you know, I do play on social media because I do want to know what other people are thinking and talking about

(43:22):
for multiple reasons
Be them personal or or research or whatever else
Uh, but you know a lot of people don't realize that palestinians
Muslims palestinians who live in palatine they live in palestine and all that stuff the geography and I really encourage anybody
Who has any questions about that area and this whole situation that's going on with it

(43:45):
To to check their facts and just to make sure they know what's going on
And it's just it's gotten way out of hand and just but everything else that's going on
You know
This is what I don't understand. Why why why why?
Why just why why does it have to be this way?
I don't know. I'm not gonna. Oh, yeah, let's just you know, let's get some candles. Let's play. Let's sing some kumbaya. Yeah, no

(44:12):
But this this is stupid all this bullshit's going on stupid
I condemn all of that stuff. Come on. This is bullshit
and you know, there's gonna be retribution for it and
You know this can't continue and it can't be perpetuated
And made worse in our country. I mean, so you know my heart

(44:35):
My heart goes out to
My heart for me and everybody I know
Anybody might hear this anywhere in israel or anywhere in the world
My heart goes out to you and for everybody on on the the innocents
the people who aren't warring factions of of
Who just literally just want to get along and have their children and

(44:56):
Have their families and you know, hey, how are you?
good
That's it. I mean why why why can't that exist? Why can't that be something?
uh, it makes me mad it makes me mad and then it is perpetuated it made worse in this country
Because of lying gop people

(45:19):
MAGA people really
Who sit there and talk to the preening peacock?
all the time
Trying to just fucking lie their asses all talking about
People administrations that gave people six billion dollars a fucking lie. It's a fucking lie
Sorry to anybody out there who I know some of my listeners don't like when I talk like that

(45:41):
But if you listen to the podcast before and you're still listening now, you know what happens
So
It's just made worse and we have to just stop it. I just
And it's like I always say
When you leave the house tomorrow be extra nice to somebody. I don't know. I don't know who it is
Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who it is. Say hi to somebody talk somebody just a little nod a little smile

(46:04):
whatever
But I believe in karma. I believe in powers that be I guess is kind of more of what I say
That that's my own decision
I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about
I don't know what I'm talking about
More of what I say and that that's my own decision. I don't have to believe what you believe

(46:26):
And you don't have to believe what I believe
And I'm not gonna believe what you believe probably maybe not probably not
Point being is I just
Do you I mean do people just not see what the fuck is going on do they just not see it
Do they not care no because they want money they want power they want to be in charge

(46:50):
It's atrocious
It's absolutely
atrocious
But yeah, my hearts do go out to the people of Israel. That is just it's terrible
And the people that are gonna get killed in the aftermath of the retaliation
Hug your kids
Call the people you haven't talked to in a long time. Okay, just do it

(47:11):
I'm gonna do it tomorrow
Sorry, I you know, I just felt like I had to say something and I don't know if
I'll even keep this last part. I don't know but
I
This is uh, this is important right now what we're doing and we need we need to recognize what it is
Is that this becoming a global thing?

(47:34):
Telling you you know, and here's the other thing I would say and I saw it about a month ago
I was in the store and I was I was in there real quick just grabbing something
And I saw these a couple kids talking this other kid
The other kid was mostly laughing
But he was he was of a of a uh, uh, ethnic group that I I don't really know

(47:55):
I'm not gonna try to guess it was it was not white put it that way
He was not white. He was not black. He was not asian
But he was something else
but he was something else and
Uh, he he was speaking and you know, these kids were like, oh they were making fun of his english
I just wanted to say those kids

(48:17):
You know don't make fun of anybody. I saw this i've seen this several times in the past. I don't know a year
And different versions of different uh little memes
But it says don't make fun of somebody with the but who speaks broken english because they know a second language
You know like don't make fun of somebody else who learned a language that you speak every all the fucking time they didn't grow up

(48:41):
learning that
No, but they learned it
Can you I I speak a good bit of spanish not great. I know at times that I speak broken spanish
And these people fucking still love it. They're like, yeah, you learned it
I learned it
I'm just saying and it's coming handy a lot
Learn another language. That's the other thing
So just i'm just saying

(49:03):
We gotta do better. We gotta do better. All right
I gotta roll
