Zac Saleski (02:05):
Doesn't matter how old you get every every guy even
in their 30s or 60s. Just gottawhenever they get up out of a
chair. It's always making somesort of noise.

Murph (02:13):
Oh my gosh, yeah. It's actually kind of fun. I enjoy
it. I feel like it's you know,it's a little treat for myself
getting out.

Zac Saleski (02:20):
My knees, my knees.
Came out of your mouth.

Murph (02:25):
No. Is it my knees? My knees. Magical. It's fine.

Zac Saleski (02:29):
This is a special I mean, it was last time we did
the St. Patrick's Day. Yep,podcast. Now Murph is back into
town. I am he don't shoot themessenger. But you know what we
are you

Murph (02:41):
can whatever you could probably should. But yeah,
maybe. Okay. But anyway, thanks.

Zac Saleski (02:47):
But as always, Murph, what happened?

Murph (02:50):
Because it happened. A lot has happened. A lot has
happened in two weeks. Because,

Zac Saleski (02:55):
right, actually, probably right after we did this
murse brother got schmuck. Edieschmuck. He did.

Murph (03:01):
Yeah, don't come back.
Got him. Yeah, he is good. Now,I actually want to thank those
that actually reached out to mevia social media with their
condolences. It was very nice tothem. So I really appreciate
that. I was very lucky. And I'mvery blessed in life to have
friends and family that werereally quick to text and ask
questions about them and stufflike that. And I think for those

(03:22):
that are always nervous, itnever hurts to send that stuff.
Like people really love and careabout that stuff. Especially he
was stretchered off, which wasvery nerve wracking in the
beginning. The good news is,like it doesn't really need to
knock on Well, it's called kindof done now. It was just
concussion. Unfortunately, itwas a second in three months.
Oh, yeah. He he said though, hefelt like a lot better after

(03:44):
this one than the first one. Solike literally the next day he
was like called me and we werelike talking for a bit and so he
is now on long term IR so I'mnot sure what that relates to in
like soccer or football orwhatever people watch for but
basically yeah, for it's like acap thing, where it means you
will not be playing for a fewweeks sometimes or just a few

(04:05):
games. Yeah, yeah. So not sureif he's gonna sell the rest of
the season, Blackhawks will notbe making the playoffs even
though mathematically they couldbut it's probably not going to
happen. It's one of those thingswhere it's a tough call to make
because I'm sure you know, like,it's weird to explain
professional sports. They areweirdly some teams can be very
weirdly. What's that? What'sthat word? I'm looking for like

(04:29):
about good luck and bad luck,like hocus pocus kind of thing.
What's that fancy word? You knowtalking about voodoo. Yeah, yes,
you do. Yes. Witch Doctorseverywhere. No superstitious so
yeah, so like if a team is doingwell and you're out of the
lineup, like there have guysthat have never come back
because of that. Luckily rightnow the Blackhawks aren't doing
amazing with him out of thelineup, so it looks good. But

(04:51):
he's done such a great job. Hehas such a good career that I
don't think him taking the restof the season off would hurt him
By it's his call it'd be nice tojust jobs and careers, got to
make calls and take risks andhe's just what he's gonna have
to figure out what he's going todo.

Zac Saleski (05:07):
I got roasted on Discord because, like I posted
that like what happened toConnor because I was like, Oh
crap, that's nuts. And then I,after all that stuff, I think
Tyler sent it to me because Iwas busy with my nephew that
night and I was like, oh crapand watch the whole thing and
send everybody a no and then putin the discord for all of our
listeners. I was like, Well, I'mjust I'm happy. It's a

(05:29):
concussion and not a brokenneck. Yeah, because when you
ever get stretchered off likeIt's like your brain and really
goes the worst. And of course,the Germans are like, well,
concussions about betta, like, Iknow, but, but when you get
stretchered off, you think it'slike a neck or some sort of
cervical issue? Oh,

Murph (05:45):
yeah, I was like, I shouldn't. Yeah, shouldn't
laugh. But we unfortunately herein the US, we've all been
through our fair share ofconcussions. So it's not fun.
It's not good for the brain. Weknow the bad impact, but like,
unfortunately, in America, we'reall stupid. We're our balls are
bigger than our brains are justlike, Yeah, fucking play through
the concussion. It's fine. It'sso yeah, so don't be like, oh,

(06:07):
yeah, like literally, like Iuntypical, and I know, this is
gonna get some boos score,probably. But in typical Murphy
fashion, we tend to like to makelight of like, hard, dark stuff,
just like as a joke. And I washanging out with my girlfriend
at the time. And like ithappened, and I looked at her, I
was like, would you still loveme if it wasn't living in this
house? And we had to sell it tosupport? Because he might never

(06:32):
walk again. And she was justlike, don't joke about that. And
I'll answer it, too. All right.
No, luckily, when I saw when Isaw him move and give thumbs up,
like I kind of knew, andunfortunately, that's my way of
getting through awkwardsituations or really bad
situations. Sometimes they getreally bad joke. thing, though,
I think it's kind of a Canadianthing. Like, you know, they
don't take things too seriously.

(06:52):
Like you take it seriously, butlike, to a certain point, but he
literally was even texting us inthe locker room, like, Oh, good,
like, yeah, like 30 minutesafter was us even saying that he
got up and left the trainingroom. So he's walking around,
too, because he just couldn'tsit in there. Like, you know,
just how to move around a littlebit. So yeah, he's,
unfortunately he is no strangerto injuries. So he's true. He's,
unfortunately kind of become apro with injuries. He's had knee

(07:15):
problem. You had a back problemthat turned out to be a muscle
that's wrapped around his spinethat like, oh, it's like early
days. Yeah, that was like 16.
Like, yeah, just like crazystuff like that. So He is no
stranger to injuries, loss ofspleen during a game, like just
all this crazy stuff. So yeah,but no, it was. It was really
great. It was very fortunate. Iwant to thank all those that

(07:37):
reached out and all those thatwished him you know, best of
luck with what the when they sawit. It really meant a lot. So I
really appreciate that pronoun.
But yeah, right. Exactly. Bro.
Seriously. He's doing well now.
He actually also just had abirthday after that. So when the
Yeah, so yeah, march 25. No, 26Sorry. I know. I'm bad with

(07:59):
dates, I think a lot of pucks tothe head. So yeah, he turned 29.
So my mom got to go up. And hegot to do something rare and
celebrate his birthday with mymom and my sister. I couldn't
make it up there. But yeah,usually he's on the road or
playing a game. So you don'talways get to celebrate his
birthday. So we got to do that.
And he's doing good, though.
He's doing good now. So justresting and training and all

(08:22):
that fun stuff. On. Yeah, realright. Yeah. So Well,

Zac Saleski (08:26):
that's the quick rundown of Yeah, Connors head.

Murph (08:29):
Right. Exactly. So to be determined if he'll take the
rest of the season off. Notsure. I think he's just taking
it day by day seeing what thedoctors say. But luckily, as
your discord mentioned, they aretaking concussions so much more
serious. Oh, yeah, I'm sure theywill pretty much talent like
there's no need to rush. Likedon't worry about it. Like take
your time.

Zac Saleski (08:47):
It's it's a different it's a different
mentality over there. Becauseit's, I mean, God, I mean, do
they treat everything sodifferently there? I mean, even
if you get, you know, bloodynose or something, it's like,
oh, coach, we give you we giveantibiotics or if you get like a
sore. Like, if you have like aswollen foot. That's what they
do. It's like, coach we giveantibiotics. No ice. No, yeah,

(09:08):
no. Oh, yeah.

Murph (09:09):
So kid, you know, I used to joke with Zach about like how
NFL players like would stopplaying for turf toe. And I'm
like, What the fuck? Like,whatever but he's like, No,
that's serious is like it hurts.
I'm like, Oh, okay. I will givecredit to the European
mentality. Obviously, you onlyhave one body unless you believe
in reincarnation, but at leastyou have one body body in this
life. So it is important to takecare of it. But unfortunately
athletes it's not how it works.

(09:32):
Um, you know, that's eithermaking money it's it's it

Zac Saleski (09:36):
was fascinating over there because there was a
hockey team not too far fromwhere I was. And it was so
unique because how they treatlike a girl that that helped out
with us. She was helping outwith the hockey team, because
obviously she's Canadian. Soyou're gonna slip out

Murph (09:50):
of local hockey? Oh, yeah, you're gonna find that we
just have calling cards. It'sfine. Oh, you're Canadian.
Exactly where you go. You justknow where the nearest rink is.
You know where the Canadiansare. It's fine. I I

Zac Saleski (10:00):
always always joke to her because she was coming to
a room and be like, Hey, you,you've had head injuries in the
past I was playing football. Iwas like, Yeah, but can I do
some tests on your head andlike, walk out come back in

Murph (10:13):
a little bit. I need to like, you know, yeah.

Zac Saleski (10:15):
Let's get further down. Yeah, you know, before you
start asking about, you know,brain samples, like Dale.

Murph (10:23):
Yeah, just get a little bit of foreplay.

Zac Saleski (10:26):
Just take a scalpel and your nose and grab out some
brain matters.

Murph (10:31):
Oh, geez. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Zac Saleski (10:34):
It was just it's fascinating out there because
Germany like they just treatthings so much different than
than here and I don't know. Ithink the US more so like, Oh,
you're I mean,

Murph (10:43):
Don't be a pussy.

Zac Saleski (10:45):
That kind of leans in a little bit. Canada like
that, too.

Murph (10:48):
Like, yeah, it's just like, Yeah, it's like

Zac Saleski (10:50):
your finger.
Alright, shut

Murph (10:52):
up. Seriously? Yeah, it's that tough mentality. Yeah. But
like they even the Scandinaviancountries are pretty good about
that. Now, like, I've seen a lotof stuff like the loss. Yeah,
no, well, like Robin laner. He'sSwedish. And yeah, he's very big
on I think II turn number. He'sgot something really bad where
it's like, almost like bipolar.
I don't know. I think he's beenI think it was finally diagnosed

(11:14):
but Oh, yeah. And so he's veryoutspoken about it. He's really
good about it. But I gotta givecredit to the europei outspoken
about everything are true. Yes.
Yeah, not sure when the guythings even worse, but ya know,
but it'd be he's done a lot forthe goalie community. His
goalies are real messed up inthe head. I'll be one admit

(11:34):
that. So it's like yeah, it'shelped out a lot. SNL sketch
right there. Oh my gosh, yeah.
Don't touch that. But Robinlaner. Oh, yeah. He plays.

Zac Saleski (11:43):
He's been big on the whole thing. He's been
instrumental and headed injuriesthis whole time. Oh, yeah. No,

Murph (11:49):
I don't know about head injuries. I don't say that. But
no. Bipolar. So it's like, yeah,

Zac Saleski (11:54):
this is what he has to say. Like the cut to him like
mid ice.

Murph (11:59):
Oh, he mostly takes a Twitter. Mostly Twitter will do
that to you. Yeah, Twitter,mostly Twitter. A lot of our
people on Twitter. It's fine.
Just white noise on Twitter.

Zac Saleski (12:10):
Keep hitting the puck as hard as we can. But he
doesn't feel anything.

Murph (12:14):
Oh, man. But yeah, that's yeah, that's

Zac Saleski (12:17):
the ice is my therapy.

Murph (12:21):
Geez, sorry. No, don't apologize. That's fine. We'll
give you a tour and CanadianArmy now. Sorry. What does that
sorry, there are?

Zac Saleski (12:29):
I tell you, tell you what,

Murph (12:31):
man rubbing off on you more and more. giggity.

Zac Saleski (12:35):
Oh, thank you.
Yeah.

Murph (12:37):
You want it? Geez.

Zac Saleski (12:41):
Well, what a ridiculous crazy week. Why don't
just getting me it's been a fewweeks since the last podcast.
Great. To see what happens. I'vebeen busy. For those. You guys
follow the Patreon. I've beenbusy with the store that I work
at and trying to get that out ofyour career. Yep. You're at all.

(13:02):
And then I've had some interestsin the last couple of weeks with
coaching and then a whole thing.
The whole thing Russia, Jesus.
Oh, I can't. Now now they'resitting there. I try not to get
too. I don't like to delve toofar to politics, just like on
this stuff. But it's just it'sridiculous. Because, you know,

(13:23):
there's things you want to doyou know? What? No, there's
things you want to see. offcamera usually? Oh, yeah.

Murph (13:30):
I'm gonna say should I tell them the quick story real
quick before we get into this?
Oh, yeah. Don't tell me. Oh,gosh, the one with my parents
pretty much have hated you sincethen. No, they don't hate you.
It's just very, very combative.

Zac Saleski (13:43):
It was fun, though.
I was fun. Yeah, I'd love forthat. Yeah. But no, it's, um,
like, I'm looking foropportunities. And then next,
you know, it's, you know,obviously, I'm busy with the
store stuff. And that's beengreat. But, you know, obviously,
keep your eye on all these otheropportunities that start to pop
open and whatnot. But then yougot Russia sitting there. And
just like, you know what wemight go into Poland to? I was

(14:03):
like, huh, Germany is right nextto Poland. That's fun. It'll be
fun. I doubt they'll go thatfar. But, I mean, yeah.

Murph (14:12):
I mean, Putin did say he wants to return to the Cold War
status. So I mean, they had halfof Germany sitting here Yeah, I
mean, that would I feel likeGermany is very prepared that
that would if Russia struggledwith Ukraine. I can't even
imagine what Germany but yeah,that Oh, geez. That German might
push them back. It would just belike, okay,

Zac Saleski (14:31):
she's I didn't know these guys personally. But there
was already a couple guys thatactually played for like local
American football teams inUkraine who who died in action.
Oh, geez. So it's like it'sthese these guys are like joined
by Yeah, it's like their earlyearly 20s. Here like Jesus there
to kind of put some perspectivea little bit so I'm like, I'm
like man. You know

Murph (14:50):
what though? In all fairness, we're very lucky to be
over here and like have theborders we have to like not have
to see what that kind of stuff.
But you also have to think aboutthough, like the amount of gun
stuff we have here in the US andeven a little bit in Canada,
like people would defend toothand nail so it's just like yeah,
like we're we're lucky we don'thave to make those decisions
like that. But like and

Zac Saleski (15:10):
if you get a seven foot moose, oh my gosh. Yeah,

Murph (15:12):
I mean, I'm sure those moose, moose, the deer they all
you know, bears. Yeah, we gottawe gotta be fine. And I'd love
to Grizzlies go too far north,we'd start bringing polar bears
down like it's fine. We didn'thave lunch at night. It's always
Mother Nature. Yeah, it's fine.
It's like Narnia up there. Linewhich in the wardrobe up there
we go. Welcome to South Park. Idon't know It's

Zac Saleski (15:39):
your dad's explained Treehouse platform.

Murph (15:41):
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Well, you're gonna weaponize it
already? Yeah, smoking weed andweapons. He's gonna

Zac Saleski (15:47):
know that order.
Right. It's gonna happen when wecan find a narwhal. And we're
all screwed.

Murph (15:53):
I'm sure. I'm sure they're already up there.

Zac Saleski (15:55):
We're all screwed our walls Jesus weaponizing.
Northstar, what

Murph (16:00):
do you think our Navy is?

Zac Saleski (16:03):
Or the Russians will bother to come over? Yeah,

Murph (16:05):
exactly. Like, you know, we'll just ramble with narwhals.

Zac Saleski (16:08):
They have a line of novel Yeah, yeah, it's like the
real translate that again,narwhal?

Murph (16:13):
It's like the Roman and Greek battleships who just go to
ramming speed and RAM Endo. It'slike so that's why you're not
getting football jobs becausethey're worried Russia my stupid
dating?

Zac Saleski (16:25):
No, like I'm getting insurance. I think
there's there's a it's weird,because like, you got the USFL
now people are getting drafted.
Oh, yeah, I've heard about that.
Yeah, so now some people justdon't want to go overseas too,
because I think inflationoverseas or just through

Murph (16:38):
the rare Well, inflation everywhere is through the roof
right now. Yeah, well, it's it'sreally

Zac Saleski (16:41):
bad in Central Europe and Oh, gotcha. So people
and then like I said, Russia'sknock on the door to Poland. So
if you're like, not not doingthis, right, so it's fair. It's
I can't blame people I know alot of guys who purposely just
stay or staying home this year.
It's kind of crazy to thinkabout because you kind of you go
overseas with like a batch ofguys and you kind of get to know
him through social media andthen you meet them to go to one

(17:04):
their games and then you startbecoming friends and then you
kind of think it's almost likeyou're in like the same class
like in high school. Yeah. Andthen small world Yeah, it's very
small.

Murph (17:13):
We call it small world.
Yeah. After all, yes. Right.
Exactly. No, yeah, it's likehockey players. Small world.
Yes. After all, yes, I havedraw. Yes.

Zac Saleski (17:22):
So you just you kind of have that that that
brotherhood type of mentality.
So it's kind of crazy becausewhenever recruiting season comes
around, you're like, Hey, man,where are you going? I don't
know where you going? She Idon't know.

Murph (17:36):
Oh, the NBA All of a sudden was stalking this guy
here it

Zac Saleski (17:40):
happened actually.
Okay, yeah, that's hilarious.
Not very often but it can happenokay, you get one one coach one
quarterback and like make acouple calls.

Unknown (17:50):
That's fair. That's fair.

Zac Saleski (17:51):
That's you know you got Judy on and Karl towns on
the same team.

Murph (17:55):
Yeah, that's a power duel right there. High. High quality
fades on the high oh my gosh,yeah. Yeah, just the courtside
stuff is just It's magical.

Zac Saleski (18:05):
Me Murph. We love watching your YouTube Yes. The
CRINGE

Murph (18:09):
CRINGE. Yeah, the cringe.
I can barely watch you cringe dela creme. The courage, the
courage. So it was not ourpodcast was created. There's
more cringe out there.

Zac Saleski (18:18):
So MERV ended us.
So Murphy ended up going toVegas this year. Interesting for
work for work.

Murph (18:24):
Yes. And so I

Zac Saleski (18:26):
actually luckily Connors alright, because yeah,
you know, he's gonna have

Murph (18:29):
fun in Vegas. Yes.

Zac Saleski (18:31):
Well, you gotta.
You gotta go. hochiminh inVegas. Nice game. Yeah. The
whole thing happened. Yeah,

Murph (18:37):
so it's like, the weird.
Yeah, it's the weird part aboutmy family luck is we tried to
plan and most people it's like,we can make plans because we're
adults. And we have jobs andsays what we have to do the

Zac Saleski (18:46):
first time or not the first time has happened
where you plan something reallygets injured.

Murph (18:50):
Yeah. And then yeah, or some or get sick or my dad like,
I just yeah, it's, it's all thatstuff happens. Or unfortunately,
before COVID We were in Canadasee my family and then COVID
happened. We had to, like fleeacross the border. Like it was.
It was bad. Wild. Yeah. Right.
So yeah, just always have myfamily works as we can never
really plan until a week maybeeven two before. So yeah, so I

(19:13):
was gonna be in Vegas for work.
I took vacation and I got ahotel. My girlfriend was gonna
fly out and we're like, okay,cool. Well, like hanging out in
Vegas, and the Blackhawksplaying the gold knights on
Saturday, which was, I think,the same day as my brother's
birthday. So it was just like,or the day after, and I was
like, Cool. So like, we'll seehim and like, I'll spend the day

(19:33):
with them. And

Zac Saleski (19:34):
like all that kind of was he in Chicago then
because he I know you said

Murph (19:36):
he like he flew back. Now he's in Ottawa when he has a
concussion.

Zac Saleski (19:39):
Or do you fly back from Ottawa or? Chicago?

Murph (19:43):
He flew. So yeah, so they, so it happened like a week
or two before I went to Vegas,though, that concussion they
were they went back to Chicagostage Cago bid. And then they
did a little west coast swingwhere they played like, three
games and four days or threegames five days or something.
Yeah. So they were in there inLA and Anaheim, I think Then
they went to Vegas and they wenthome. So yeah, I was out for

(20:03):
Vegas for work. And so of coursethis happens. I'm thinking, it's
just my luck. Like, you know,while like, I even told my
brother I'm like, Don't worryabout me going to the game like
it's fine but I will say if youever have a chance to go to a
Vegas Golden Knights game, takeit like even my dad who's pretty
close to a 30 year NHL veteranand my brother who's like a six

(20:25):
year vet, NHL veteran. We'relike, you got to go to a Vegas
game. It's like, it's like Idon't even know how to explain
the interview. It's like allperfect. Like it's crazy. Like
it's, it's not cringe and it'snot like, Okay, this is like a
wild idiom festival. Oh my gosh,it was. Yeah, it's funny. You
said that because yeah, it waslike, literally. Yeah,
literally. So yeah, the way mostrinks are built is you know, you

(20:47):
have the rink and you have thestadium. And then you have like
a little outside concourse, weget food and beer and bathroom
breaks and all that stuff. Soit's like, they build the
outside of the rink. And thenthey build like another
intersection. And that's wherethe rink is seats. And so
literally, we're walking aroundthe concourse via my girlfriend
just checking out the rink. Ikid you not every 20 yards DJs

(21:07):
just DJs It was insane. Likejust yet. Yeah, it's playing
music in the concourse. And youknow, they're far enough away
that it was like, you know,you'd have maybe a moment of
silence and then you hit anotherDJ. And it was just Yeah, they
were just weird em, and it waslike, weird. And then obviously,
DJ Oh, seriously? Yes, that'sgiggy but yes. Someone's DJ.
Yeah, exactly. But yeah, it wasreally interesting. And then

(21:30):
like, I have to post it onsocial I don't think I did oh,
no, but do it before the gamethey always do like this huge
like it we call it almost like amedieval times kind of thing.
Where like the night like theyhave this like, thing put up
where it's like Game of Thrones,but not Game of Thrones of like,
you know, the enemy team is thisdark knight thing and the Golden

(21:51):
Knights there to battle them.
And they always bring it on theice. And they like project on
the ice, like all this stuff.
And it's like, it's pretty cool.
It's all really cool the wayit's done. It was a really cool
experience. And then you know,Blackhawks went up early, which
was awesome. Blackhawks went uplike three zip going into the
third guy sitting next to me,like all that, like, you know,

(22:14):
like, I don't know, I just, Imust have a friendly demeanor
because everyone wants to talkto me. It's like a weird thing.
And the guys just talking to meand he was just like, found out.
He's from Detroit. And he's moreof a truth in found out from
Ohio. Actually, remind me I'llgo back to that. There was a
really funny part with that. Oh,and your brothers on the team or
No, no, I did. Okay. I try notto steal that stuff. Because

(22:34):
that's not my achievement.
That's his like, I know, I don'twant that kind of fame. Even
though I'm whoring myself outfor the podcast, but it's fine.

Zac Saleski (22:43):
Hey, how are you?
I'm I'm Dale's like, no, yeah,if I get brothers on the team,
Oh, great. I didn't ask you

Murph (22:50):
to sign I'm either comfortable with you. Or I've
made some sort of connection.
Like I'll bring it up. But Imean, Zack knows he's seen it
like I looked it up. And thenyeah, like, don't, if I find out
they're really good hockey fan,like, I'll test them a way to
test them. Or if I'm justcomfortable someone, but in the
past, you bring it up early, andpeople then all of a sudden,
like, will demand things fromyou. And you're just kind of

(23:11):
like, no, like, you know, no. SoI also didn't want to be one of
those weird people. That's like,I have nothing else going on in
my life besides a really famousbrother and dad. And that's it.
Yeah, but anyway, we were like,so they're up three zip. And the
whole time I'm like, I'mcautiously optimistic because I
kept saying, I'm like, Vegas isa really good hockey team. Yeah,
Vegas scores, three goals. Andthe third, go to overtime,

(23:33):
Blackhawks wins and overtime,which was like, wow, that sucks.
But it's a hell of a game. Oh,yeah. But Vegas right now is
battling for a playoff spot. Solike they're like, Yeah, but it
was a it was a really cool andintense game. And it was as much
as it's, well. I shouldn't saythat. As much as it was the
word. It was cool. Seeing themscore and seeing how the valium

(23:54):
just like erupted and how crazypeople were deep deep down. I
was kind of happy they lostbecause again, it's just like,
oh, Connor is not playing.
They're letting up goals. Thedefense needs a little bit of
help. Ah, oh, yeah. So there's alittle bit of Yeah, so
unfortunately, there's a littlebit of that side. I'm sure
people will be like, oh, youshould be offered the Blackhawks
no matter what. And it's justlike, No, when you've got family

(24:15):
at stake, you support a familyover the teams, especially when
you know at any given moment,the Blackhawks can be sick of
him and trade them show you justlearned unfortunately, that's
what everyone asks. They'realways like, so what's your
team? And I'm like, that's, it'sa curse, but it's a blessing
that I know under my dad and mybrothers that exactly, but I
really get to enjoy the game andI get too caught up in the
team's histories and I reallyjust get to be a fan of all of

(24:37):
it. Instead of just being like,I'm gonna die hard Blue Jackets
fan go Ohio, fuck everywhereelse and it's just like, no,
like, I enjoy everywhere and youknow, one of the Ohio twelves I
live there. I'm all Yeah,exactly. Yes. Bring back Atlanta
Thrashers. not awful. Butspeaking of which, I'll go back
for the area. So the guy saidguys like oh, your football

Ohio, they'll always say, Oh,Ah, you can go every time to
Florida to Europe to anythinglike that. And you will like
find it Ohio State personbecause it's such a big school

Yeah, I thought you started this podcast. I don't
know how I've just dominated it.
Tyler and I like it. You'recalling me by my first name.
It's very interesting. Tyler,okay. Tyler, was my favorite
part,

Zac Saleski (27:41):
depending on how like, certain episodes go. The
funniest part is always whenpeople give their like their
comments on people. It's like,Oh, don't listen to college
talks the whole time. I'm like,wait, though, I chime in. Now
tell like, that's usually likewhen we don't do a podcast for
two weeks. And Tyler has tocatch up. And he's like, trying
to figure out what he what he'sdone because we don't tell each
other before the podcast.
Because we want raw

Murph (28:04):
we want raw emotion raw versus like, oh shit, or we want
that raw just theater. Thetheater is the theater. That's
high school music that is yes.
We're all in this together.
Remember that? Shoot theoutside. Right. Great. Okay,
though, so I do know and peopleare tired of listening to me
talk. But I do have to also sayanother weird thing that

(28:27):
happened to me all Vegas was Igot weirdly lucky at everything
else. But gambling. It was likethe weirdest thing. Okay, it was
the weirdest thing. Even mygirlfriend was like, you must
have a horseshoe up your assbecause this is so literally so
yeah, I don't know anybody.
Seriously. So the first night wegot there, I got I got there
early. So I had to work fromSunday to Tuesday. And then we

(28:47):
had a work event on Wednesdaywhere it was like just my team
having fun and drinking nachosanyway. Oh, was it the thing
that that is a conference Yeah,that all managers go to so I had
to sit there with like anearpiece, and I looked like this
tough security guard. Butbasically it was like just there
to make sure people didn't doanything stupid. Because it's
Vegas. And so you're auditing inVegas? Exactly. Yeah, I was Oh

(29:08):
yeah, I was auditing Yeah, yeah.
So I think it was first night Ihad to work like I saw I pulled
them all nighter thinking likeokay, I'll pull them all nighter
to get my body clock like caughtup to Vegas. Pull them all
nighter get there my boss happyworking the whole night shift
first shift so my great 48 hoursonly got three hours of sleep.

(29:29):
Yeah, which Zack knows. I thinkI have some sort of sleep apnea
or something because like when Idon't get sleep I will fall
asleep in public like Iliterally will like I could like
be talking to you guys right nowand I will fall asleep if I'm
tired enough like it's bad myfavorites

Zac Saleski (29:44):
when he like slowly nods off? Yeah, I'll have a
conversation. Yeah, they'll dothat. Then you start like to
start feeding in random crap.
Yeah, the thing is prettyinteresting. Oh, crap. People
are just walking off the beach.
And they're they're becomingpart of society.

Murph (29:57):
Yeah, and well, like he was all jokes awake. So take
Intel so we'll be talking, it'sgonna be and there's just got to
go like that. So yeah, I wasdoing that the whole plane right
I felt actually accidentallyelbowed the woman next to me
awful about the company too. SoI was like, oh, like elbowed her
in the gut I was like I'm sorrymg uses like it's fine and like
oh my gosh, anyway, I just hadlike a hockey flashback.

Zac Saleski (30:21):
Overseas, right?

Murph (30:22):
Yeah. Seriously, seriously? Yeah. So the second
night we were there and my coworkers were like, you know, one
of them had to stay up late. Sowe just stayed up late with her
for a little bit. And we went tothe bar. And we went to so there
was like this. I don't know howto explain it in Vegas and the
casinos and stuff. Yeah, right.
Exactly. The story doesn't. Sothere's like nice bars where you

(30:46):
go, but then there's like theselike sidebars, we can stay in
play like virtual blackjack orthings like that. And you can
get drinks and stuff. And that'swhere the hookers would sit and
prostitute themselves out andall that kind of stuff. Why
don't we call them women of thenight? That's like, it's the
preferred professional term.
We'll call them street walkers.
Seriously. Yeah, you're right.
Yes. street walkers, Red LightDistrict walkers. Yes. There you

(31:07):
go, man. Yeah. So we went there.
And we decided to get a drink.
And there's this guy there. Andhe was just blackout was drunk,
just talking to all thesepeople. And you could tell these
girls were like kind of gettingnext to him thinking he'd be
like an easy score. It was justbad. And so we're standing there
getting a drink, and he noticesmy earpiece. And he's like, oh,
and we were also wearing thesebuttons that had like Chipotle

(31:30):
logo with a shield around it forlike protection, you know,
showing that we were likesecurity. And so he's like, Oh,
he worked at your polling on andI was like, Yeah, and he's like,
and then I swore he said he didit work there. My co workers
told me he didn't but I guess hesaid he did something Interpol.
I don't know. And he justhammered. And so he's like, oh,
you know, like, let me get you adrink. And Zach's about this so

(31:52):
Canadian of your MERV, I don'tlike to be rude to people,
because you just never knowwhat's going to come back. But
what I'll do to show them thatthey need to stop talking to me
is I will kind of give shortanswers and kind of show them
that I'm not interested. Like, Ijust won't contribute much to
the conversation. And so I waslike, he's a cafe drinker. But
nom, I'm working. I'm notdrinking, as my friend is

(32:13):
ordering his drinks my coworker, and and he's still
talking to me. And he's like,closed. He's talking to me. And
I'm just like, and I'm like,Whoa, yeah. Okay. Yeah, like
stuff like that. And I'm justnot contributing, just kind of
agreeing with them. And then mycoworker gets our drinks. And
he's like, oh, and he likelooked at the bar. Things like
put those on my tab. And my coTuco mitoku worker co workers

(32:34):
are female. So you know,completely understandable.
They're like, No, no, no, no,like, no, no, no, no. And they
were like, yeah, like, no, no,don't worry about it, man. Like
I told you, no. And he's like,and the bartender looked at,
he's just like, Oh, my God, he'slike, Don't worry, it's already
happened. And they're like, oh,so I joke with my co workers are
from like, Don't worry, guys. Igot us free drinks talking to
that guy. And they're like, shutup, Tyler. Like no matter for
all of us. Like, don't worryabout it. And I was like, All

(32:57):
right, whatever. So I joke aboutmy boss the next day. So the
next day, we were working, andwe did another I think we went
to dinner. And we were sittingthere. And I think I like I was
talking with someone. And theywere just like, Oh, I got this
beer. Do you want it? And I waslike, Sure. Day to another free
drink. And I was just like, Lookat this guys. And they're like,

(33:19):
Okay, this is weird. And so Iwas just hoping you were Yeah, I
was like, you know, hey, youknow, no, didn't hit on me
didn't get my number. Nothinglike that. Just now is it? Yeah.
So then Wednesday, which wasreally cool. And I highly
probably higher

Zac Saleski (33:31):
up. He's like, this isn't what you don't do. Right?
Probably conferences. Yeah,

Murph (33:35):
it was I always roofie now just fell to the floor
immediately after that. No, itwas that was fine. You know, as
well still play. I'm fine. It'sgood to be ready to go. So yeah,
so then Wednesday, really coolthing I'd recommend anyone do if
you ever find it. My boss foundthis really cool gambling spot

(33:56):
where you can go and you pay forlike a few hours. And they'll
teach you how to like gamble andthe strategy. So you learn how
to play like craps. I learned toplay Marshawn because I wanted
to try that. Which was reallycool. But so we played craps.
And so to play craps, you haveto roll dice. Obviously, I was
the only one at the table to golike I went hot. And I went like

(34:16):
nine rounds where everyone elseonly went like three. So like
that. So I technically won a lotof people money table, which was
really weird. I mean, it wasjust like fake money. But I want
us a lot of money to table which

Unknown (34:27):
was one time right where you don't make money.
Exactly. Exactly.

Murph (34:31):
And then well that was it. We went to the we went to
the bar that night to in thehotel, and my boss got us free
drinks while we were at the bar.
Yeah, so another Yeah. Oh, it'snot over yet, though. So, yeah.
So then Thursday morning, wakeup. Gotta check out. We go to a
hotel. It's across the streetscalled the Tropicana. So we stay
at the MGM. We stayed the crowdTropicana. It's a nice hotel for

(34:53):
what it costs. It's old. Itneeds some updating, but it's
cool. It's got history to it.
You So we're staying atTropicana, we get there, stupid.
Can we check in at threeo'clock, which was like stupid.
So we're there at like 11. Andwe're like we're going to do so
we went and we went to a bar,the bar actually and Tropicana
was, you know, that reallystrong guy. He wears glasses.

(35:15):
He's like a chef.

Zac Saleski (35:16):
Oh, yeah. British protein bars to British. Yeah.

Murph (35:20):
So he was his bar. Oh, yeah. So yeah, it was one of the
bars, ladies he promotes. Sowe're sitting there having
drinks. Next thing, you know,this, these people show up next
to us. And they had their phonesyou could tell they're doing
they must work there. They dosomething like hey, can we get a
Bud Light and a Stella but don'topen it and they're like, Okay,
and they were frothing the BudLight and taking a picture of it

(35:41):
next to the seller. Soobviously, it was bad
advertising because they'reprobably advertising for stellar
stuff, Jesus. So they took apicture. And then they like,
they looked our way. And theysaid, Hey, do you guys want a
free beer? If my girlfriend'slike,

Zac Saleski (35:51):
all the time? Yeah, they gotta work for the for
Budweiser.

Murph (35:55):
Because the put a sell bottle next to the Budweiser.
But the Budweiser was just aglass.

Zac Saleski (36:00):
Well still is owned by boat. Oh, I didn't know Yeah.
They probably cuz they they dohave I know this because a
couple of reasons. But they dohave people that go out and they
do like promotions and picturesand motion. Okay. Yeah. So
they'll probably do some sort ofevent. Yeah, so they're probably
just putting up on Photoshop orsomething. I think they have

(36:20):
like a ridiculous tab where thebass they can give away as many
drinks as they want. Okay, yeah.
Yeah, those are the people youwant to become friends.

Murph (36:27):
All right, seriously. So they literally like do you want
this Bud Light The give back?
They're

Zac Saleski (36:31):
only there like that time of day though. Okay,
so they're not they're verylong. They weren't

Murph (36:35):
they weren't like promoters. You can tell they
were just yeah, there. Yeah. Sothey Yeah, they weren't like the
Bud Light girls. You see likewhat the tapes out and
everything. They were just like,they just they were just normal
people they look like to me likeat first we thought they were
staying there. And then the waythey

Zac Saleski (36:47):
whatever. That's basically their job. Because I
know a couple people who've donethat where they their goal is
their job is just to be there oflike, oh, we have this event
coming up the car will takepictures or whatever they're
selling.

Murph (36:57):
Gotcha. So look like yeah, they just did it for a
social media post. But anyway,yes, we gave it to the
bartender. The bartender waslike, Hey, you want this free
beer and like, yeah, so anotherfree beer? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. So then we, you know, justkind of had a chill night that
that day, next day. So now thisis for Friday, I think Yeah.
Friday, we go out to the oldVegas, which was cool. And we

(37:22):
that's where I sent you. Thesnap. We found I found a
Canadian Bar in Vegas. washilarious. But I did they had
Molson had my favorite beers. Itwas hilarious.

Zac Saleski (37:32):

Zac Saleski (37:52):
It was it was originally like it bases
Canadian beer start moving itsway down. It's like the
northeast area of the US. And Iremember like New York. I think

Yeah, it's also independent. Ooh, yeah. Which is
better. Yeah. Let's go. Yeah. Sosorry. I'm just I'm just
clicking on the website. 1867has been around for a while. So
I know that too. I just

Zac Saleski (38:29):
hope they're not like bought out by like, some
sort of distribution companyfrom the US or something.
They're probably probably. Yeah,but you never know. It's like
places like gambling. That'skind of what they did for a
while they kind of stayed intheir region. They start
branching

Murph (38:41):

ciders are really good to everyjust everyday sliders. Man. It's
hard to get that right. And theythey do a hell of a job. Like

200 section one. Hundreds ofnosebleeds then slower. So we
had tickets. I'm like, well, atleast we can go to the game now.
But we decided let's wait. Andwe'll call and see what happens.
Brothers tickets, right? We'llcall they just never texted me
about them. So we ended upgetting good seats anyway, so we
didn't even end up using thetickets. game happens. I had

(42:05):
$100 gift card to the MGM barthat way stayed up because I got
my booster vaccine. And so wedecided let's go sit at the bar
and just kind of drink and watchsome basketball and wait till it
gets a little darker to go seesome more Vegas stuff. And so
we're just sitting there. Nextthing, you know, guy walks up,
says like, oh, you know, I'lltake I forgot how he said it.

(42:26):
But he's like, I'll take liketwo pints or whatever. And the
way he said I was like, Iliterally looked at him. I was
like, you gotta be Canadian. Andhe like, looked at me. He's
like, Yeah, and I'm like, I waslike, my parents are Canadian.
I'm gonna go half Canadian. I'mlike, I gotta turns out he is.
He owns a restaurant, in a cityin Canada, where my cops where
my cop or my uncle is adetective in so he's probably

(42:48):
like, Oh, your uncle probablyknows who I am. He didn't know
my uncle. But he's like my aunt.
Your uncle probably knows who Iam chatting. He buys us a drink
at the bar. chat with him forlike, a few hours the head like
and the one thing my girlfriendhad a laugh like that are so
great about Canadians becauselike this to me, like brought it
to a tee was like we're talkingand he's like, Oh, he's like,

(43:10):
got exchanged number with youwith you. Change exchanged
numbers with you guys, but I'llprobably never see or talk to
you guys again. And like, butlike that's what you have to
respect about Canadians. Likethey're up front like that. But
there's like no hostility behindit. Like it's just a good time
good conversation. Like we'reall just chatting and like, and
then we just part ways and ifthe winds bring us together
great. If not, we're done. Soshould the listeners or like,

(43:34):
does this story get any better?
No, I'm sorry. That's the gistof it. But yes,

Zac Saleski (43:39):
I was like a homeless right. You've given him
so badly.

Murph (43:42):
The week that I was there I pretty much yeah, pretty much
got a free drink almost everyday. I was there. It was insane.

Zac Saleski (43:48):
It was strange. I'm curious. To know like what you
said these kinds of people ofall things.

Murph (43:53):
I was just Oh, that was it. I was just like, I think
I've already damn

Zac Saleski (43:57):
well he named dropped me.

Murph (43:58):
No, actually, I did.
Unfortunately I am. Wow. No, no,I literally just like oh, you
know, like, I was like, I thinkI think because they won that
day. And I was like, oh you knownice when he looks like you guys
are surviving. And they're likeoh yeah and like but this and
that's because St. Pete for anyof you guys I don't know if any
do they follow collegebasketball in your maybe it's
made the news over there. He wasstill doing definitely

(44:20):
Maybelline I was one sees medoing their huge run. So we were
just talking about like bracketbusting and all that and yeah,
but yeah, that was that was thatwas it was interesting. Never
Never Yeah, it was like, Yeah, Ijust got every day I at least
got one free drink almost.

Zac Saleski (44:37):
See, I always always love I always like to
know, anytime like Murphy orlike myself every time like we
run into like people from thatside of the country. Whether
it's Kansas or Missouri or thatwhole area. I always like to
know where they're from. Just soI can like scoff at them a
little bit. Because the moremore more like not eight times
eight times out of 10 It'snormally the same like right
around the same area in Kansas.
I'm like

Murph (44:59):
I thought about it, but as much as talking about Kansas,
I keep, like Liberty township orsomething, but I always keep
forgetting where so like myliberty. Yeah. So every time I
talk with people about thatstuff, I sound like a fucking
idiot because I'm no good,because it's Missouri, but it's
not Missouri, like, I don'tknow. And they're like,
Missouri, like Missouri's inalmost a big place. And I'm just

(45:22):
like, oh, okay, like, and peoplejust look at me like, you don't
know what the fuck you'retalking about? I'm like, Yeah,
you know, St. Louis,

Zac Saleski (45:28):
Missouri, is this kind of sort of very similar to
Columbus, where all like mostpopulations on the on the
outskirts and the suburbs. Sousually how I can I can figure
it out is on the Kansas sidewhen the biggest suburbs is
normally Overland Park. Soanytime. And this is this, how
this is kind of probably whatpeople do in Canada, because
they always say, Oh, I'm fromlike, Toronto. Yeah. Which, in

(45:50):
turn, you're right from outsideof Toronto somewhere, I'm sure.
Same thing can study. It's like,oh, I'm from Kansas City.
Alright, then I gotta ask him,Missouri, Kansas. Kansas.

Murph (46:00):
I don't know how to explain it, though. I feel like
in the US, I guess is the bestway explain. I think it's kind
of like Europe, with Canada. AndI know they're gonna go crazy
when I make this analogy. Butlike, you'll say Columbus, but
like we live in like Dublin,whereas like in Canada, like you
don't say Toronto, you say whereyou're from. So I wouldn't say
you wouldn't say so. Like, ifToronto was Columbus, you

(46:21):
wouldn't say Columbia, youwouldn't say Toronto, you'd say
I'm from Dublin. So like, forexample, these people were from
like, Whitby, which is like, afew hours outside of Toronto. So
it's like a small, okay, it'slike a it's it's on the map. So
yeah, but like, even likeanother example B Scarborough,
like it's just outside ofToronto, but people consider it
its own thing, not part of like,even though it's part of

(46:42):
Toronto, they consider its ownthing. Yeah. So it's like, they
kind of recognize their ownlittle communities. So we're
just like, I hear us, wesimplify it. So it'd be like,
Oh, I'm from Columbus, but Butyou live in Dublin, which
Dublin's 30 minutes outside ofColumbus. So for a lot of people
that's like its own little townthat you identify by. So they do
that in Canada. And I think theykind of do that in Europe,

(47:03):
because some of the EuropeansI've met it's, I don't know, I
feel like they're not like I'mnot from London. I'm from

Zac Saleski (47:08):
European on site, they usually say that they're
from wigs. At least for Germans,they say exactly where they're
from people. Knowing Germans arevery astute. So then people
vary. So people are like, oh,there's any explain it and then
yeah, but in the US, it's verysimilar, at least from like,
what I noticed people like oh,like they're always, most people

(47:29):
will say like, they'll closestbiggest city. Yeah, and then and
then you start digging. Okay,well, part. Yeah. Is it? Oh,
cider

Murph (47:36):
that. That that some Canadians will do that. But
yeah, they'll but like, even ifyou don't ask, they'll preface
it. You know what I mean? Solike, oh, you probably haven't
heard of it. I'm from Toronto,but I'm not really in Toronto.
And then they and then if youdon't like it's called this so?
Yeah, it's it's real the streetsout here me? Yeah, I guess I
guess that's like a lot of localprimers in the US. Just kind of
round it. Were like, Yeah, I'mjust round it. It's fine.

Zac Saleski (47:59):
We don't want to we don't want to spend the time to
be like, yeah, oh, yeah. I'mjust from this little tiny town
like, Oh, wow. Yeah. For you.
Yeah, exactly.

Murph (48:06):
Yeah, we got we got bigger things to do. Yeah. You
start

Zac Saleski (48:09):
begging and go small. Right, Canada. You start
small and go big

Murph (48:12):
here. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. While you're sex tape.
What? Alright,

Zac Saleski (48:17):
chill. I'll Tommy Lee.

Murph (48:21):
What eight? Yeah, that was yeah, that was that was
Vegas. nutshell. That was Vegasand

Zac Saleski (48:26):
survived Vegas and everything else in between you
stay there.

Murph (48:30):
Yeah, right. Seriously, though. I don't know if you ever
have this. Try. Remember whatyou've gone out to the West
Coast, right? Yeah. Okay. ForLily for three days after I got
back. I felt like I was I had aweird head. Hi. I couldn't
figure out what it was like. Ifelt like I was like, like, I
just smoked a bunch of weed. Itwas like I was just like, why?
Right? Yeah. Mary Jane thedevil's lettuce. But literally,

(48:53):
it felt like I was just like, Iwas floating. It was weird for
like three days. It was reallyweird.

Zac Saleski (48:57):
Yeah, like, I mean, the West Coast timezone is it'll
mess you up. Oh, yeah. I have auncle that lives out in like
California. Okay, and thatthat's like, I we only went out
there a couple times to visithim. But that was like the worst
coming back. Because this is thetime that I actually meet my
family that we're living stilllive in Kansas City. So when you
come back even it's like, one totwo hour difference. But you got

(49:20):
West mountain time and then thatokay. And then you're just like,
like, yeah, because time justmoves so much slower out there a
little bit because then it'slike, nine o'clock 10 o'clock or
the cops are tired, right?
Because it's supposed to belike, midnight oil

Murph (49:37):
was so bad. Ya know, there were a few times I
actually fell asleep in publicplaces in Vegas because it would
be like 12 o'clock and I'm likethis three o'clock our time. Oh,
no, no, yeah, it was yeah, itwas all bad.

Zac Saleski (49:47):
So go from one extreme to the other. It's it's
it's not fun. And like even evenwhen I go to Europe, it's like
six hours ahead or five hoursdepending on it.

Murph (49:56):
I'm just like, like Sandra just it's bad. Yeah,

Zac Saleski (49:59):
takes about Yeah, about three days there three
full days and then you're like,Okay, I can adjust this right?
But for some reason West Coastis like, I just this weird this
whole thing of odd. Everybodyhere is weird.

Murph (50:11):
I hate you. Oh, going back home you want to see we're
just go to Vegas there's a lotof weird. Oh yeah, yes. Yeah
Even so Fremont Street which isthe old strip like the amount of
weirdness I saw like I meanTasia would joke about that like
just the people watching waslike it was weird. It was Yeah.
Oh yeah, like it's just the it'sthe first time I've seen him in
public place I didn't think itwas I guess technically it's

(50:32):
clothing but a little movie likethat girls dressed in like
domination gear. And thenanother one was like American
dominatrix gear with was with athong but on our assets at USA I
don't like what

Unknown (50:44):
is this? Wow. Yeah.
It's like New Orleans

Murph (50:48):
was the weirdest thing.
Yeah, it is like New Orleans. Itwas so weird.

Zac Saleski (50:51):
Yeah, weird, folks.

Murph (50:54):
And it goes to show you if we ever legalized weed as a
country, like the amount of weedsmoke, I smelled. It was just
everywhere. And I'm like, Ididn't think it's legal out
there. But people were justsmoking like crazy. crap about
that. Oh, no. Other stuff toworry about. Yeah.

Zac Saleski (51:08):
Yeah. To be out of towners, right? Boy.

Murph (51:12):
What did you do?

Zac Saleski (51:13):
mean nothing?
Nothing at all. I'm just workingwith boring. I lived through you
right now.

Murph (51:19):
Oh, okay. That's that's very tame then.

Zac Saleski (51:21):
I tried to be low key right now. That's where
we're gonna figure it out.
Because the last like week or sowe've been getting, we get a
little bit of an uptick on oursmall town, Ohio videos. Very
cool. And

Murph (51:33):
so it's been the weather's turning up here. So
yeah, we're finally getting someadventures going,

Zac Saleski (51:37):
man. And there's been a couple of places that we
have not hit yet. Where I'mlike, we got to Dan, we've only
done like, you don't Columbus,we've done maybe like Mansfield
Canton. If you haven't done likea bit of Akron, tiny, tiny bit
at Akron. We haven't done likeCleveland. We haven't done like,
I mean, I really we had Daytonyet

Murph (51:57):
now. Yeah, not much urgency or necessity. That's
that's the thing,

Zac Saleski (52:01):
though, like Yellow Springs when we did that. Yeah.
Yeah. And like that videostarted really piling up. What?
Well, wow, that was fun. Therewas nothing in that video,
right? Let's sit there editingand the whole time. Like, I
mean, it's good. But I'm like,not perfect my mind

Murph (52:17):
right now, because we just got obsessed with that
small college that might havebeen abandoned, but it wasn't

Zac Saleski (52:22):
just shit on the floor. They probably just we
were so

Murph (52:26):
privileged kids in that day, it was so bad. Oh my god,

Zac Saleski (52:31):
they probably just shut it down. And like, Hey,
here's to

Murph (52:33):
seriously Oh my gosh. But it was just like, again, I just
couldn't get over it. Like, Iknow, we kind of the buildings
were like, condemned. And therewere people in the dorms like
hanging out. And I'm like, howdo you go to college in a place
that's half condemned?

Zac Saleski (52:46):
Like, it's not just like a college. It's like, it's
really

Murph (52:50):
a community college. Like I feel bad saying it but it was
it was worse than CommunityCollege.

Zac Saleski (52:54):
Well, you have like really like pretty well named
people that work there. Soyou're just like, how could this
fall apart? And like, like Marksaid, half the buildings are
being used other half like, justthere's we can't we can't afford
the electricity. So it'sactually a pretty big small
college. Yeah. And you're like,wow, it's it's pretty massive.
But I mean, Jesus was

Murph (53:14):
in disarray. Like they weren't taking care of
everything. And yeah, literallylike, wow, I remember walking
Riverwalk, and some of thebuildings Ilya had signs posted
like, cannot enter. Like allthat kind of stuff. Yeah. And
then that was it. We met the theold people walking a couple that
they were like, they hadgraduated from there. And they
were like, ya know, like, like,we're alums here. But like, we
know, like, half thesebuildings, like condemned, like

(53:35):
they don't use them ever. Yeah.
And then then they go to findout that we found out he's like,
yeah, one of the guys Igraduated with, decide to turn
his life around. And he's like,one of the biggest like, medical
guys in New York. And I'm like,holy shit. So it was just weird
having him say this place. Yeah,right. Yeah, seriously. But I
was like, Yeah, Dave Chappellewas like his parents were elite
were were linked to it right?

(53:59):
His dad or whatever. It was

Zac Saleski (54:00):
crazy about that. I went to look back at that. And
Dave Chappelle was on link withStephen Colbert one time and he
actually like mentioned thathe's like, Oh, what's what's
close to that? And he was like,oh, like, this plays that place.
A little town like little tinycollege called any alcoholic
home like, oh my goodness, we'reabout to get more admission.

Murph (54:19):
Hilarious. What you think like you think like, Martin
Luther King's wife would drawsome attention? Yeah. Like no,
no, no, no, just nothing like

Zac Saleski (54:28):
that's that is a perfect town for all the you
know, Bernie supporters that'slike that that's their that's my
gosh, that is their

Murph (54:36):
honestly that is a liberal Miami. Oh, no, that is
Oh, that was a liberal my extraliberal was Yeah, man. Yeah.
Which I guess we probably shouldat some point. Take the viewers
to Miami where we were where Igraduated from. You're close,
but

Zac Saleski (54:49):
not yet. I know. We definitely gotta go there. Yeah,
fly the drone around becausehonestly, like, that's very
similar to the Yellow Springs.
Yeah,

Murph (54:59):
except it's definitely More privilege way more foliage
yeah way more Republicanprivilege fly my drone around my
father

Zac Saleski (55:05):
will hear about it yeah

Murph (55:06):
lawyers last oh geez

Zac Saleski (55:10):
oh so expect when the weather starts to break
we'll we'll probably get out

Murph (55:14):
even though we had some snow today that was kind of
disappointing today weird as abad day

Zac Saleski (55:19):
what Yeah, yesterday was nice today cold

Murph (55:23):
