you're the guy you're the techguy you're the promoter you're
the you're the everything I'mjust the talent obviously Yeah,
exactly.

Zac Saleski (00:21):
Yeah actually have a nice change of scenery here we
actually do we are not podcastbut outside but we were inside.
Yes. Inside of merps house.

Murph (00:28):
We are in my so yeah. Am I in the panel? Yeah, poker
room, cigar room, whatever youwant to call it? Yeah, wine
tasting room. I don't knowsomething like that. Whatever.
The privileged elite get toexperience that I only briefly
experienced until I move out thepros.

Zac Saleski (00:43):
And we are drinking some Oktoberfest. Oh yeah, not
too shabby. We are getting anice little quick head start on
this stuff. But uh, no, it'sbeen a actually you know what
the last time we did an episode

Unknown (00:52):
was in here. I thought it was a summer

Zac Saleski (00:55):
from Vegas. Yeah,

Unknown (00:57):
that's right. What cheese?

Zac Saleski (00:59):
It was like the hell's the next one's gonna be
alone. So now we awkward

Murph (01:03):
busy people's necks working a lot. It's true. Yeah,
you got to make that money. Yougot to make that more than
podcast money.

Zac Saleski (01:08):
You know what?
Maybe one day if we're smartenough we can we can make some
money off this. Yep. But untilthen we will drink our dreams
away.

Murph (01:14):
Exactly. Just like the typical middle class privilege
Americans we are.

Zac Saleski (01:19):
So a couple of different things that obviously
if you guys are watching thevideo portion, we're in the
cigar room. And so it's a coupleof different changes. But one
thing I was trying to do I waslike, I was trying to buy a
bunch of different things andmake this seem remotely
efficient. But yeah, all thesechords kind of make me look like
an idiot. So that's just that'ssome flavor. Nobody trip or this

(01:39):
whole operation is done.

Murph (01:41):
Exactly. Let my imaginary friend know that list of cars
have havoc. Sounds very old. I'msure there's some ghosts in here
somewhere. I haven't found them

Zac Saleski (01:49):
yet. So here your house is built upon a Native
American burial ground

Murph (01:53):
isn't like all of America built on the Native American
burial ground? So that's what asegue right You're welcome.

Zac Saleski (02:05):
As you guys could tell Murphy is Ambassador
segways Yes. Rose master segway

Murph (02:09):
my internet minor in college. Yep. Stick with my

Zac Saleski (02:12):
How do you feel art segways Don't mind us as we're
really holding this random bigstand but correct. Hit the
microphone. Feels half forfrickin face. So

Murph (02:24):
it is yeah, it's a little distracting from our beauty, our
chiseled American Beauty full offast food. And

Zac Saleski (02:31):
this is the portion where Murph tries to fit into
American culture because

Murph (02:35):
I was doing really good there for a second I felt like I
was I was really trickingpeople. Yeah, to

Zac Saleski (02:39):
be doing that when you hand me a big old bag of
ketchup chips.

Murph (02:41):
You're right. You're right. That's well, you know,
you're the one that eats him. Sojust remember that. How does
that feel?

Zac Saleski (02:47):
I don't know what they do in Canada, but they put
crack ketchup chips

Murph (02:51):
by the crack and probably sugar

Zac Saleski (02:53):
crack. Yeah, that's enough. It has been a ridiculous
last few months. I have beenstupid busy still working at
store I've been working at kindof been focused heavily on that
as we're getting into recruitingseason for coaching. So I've
kind of been back and forth withthat. And then Murph

Murph (03:08):
just started my coaching season. Yeah. So now while
hockey right title technically,because I'm not registered yet.
I can do it. But if I was on theroster, I wouldn't be coaching
right now. So kind of startedkind of not but yeah, I get to
run practices myself. So yourteam seems to somewhat respect
me. I'm sure that'll only lastfor a season. But you know, see,
oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know,kids are fun. That's a really

(03:30):
bad. Really bad. I just realizedthat after I said that. I was
like they're high school kidsnow as an Ivan, and I'm going to
help with anything. Yeah, thatjust Yeah,

Zac Saleski (03:41):
in the state of Ohio, you have to go through a
bunch of certifications. This iskind of painful, but part of the
year where you have to not sureabout hockey, but for football.
It's like seven or eightdifferent certifications. It's a
pain in the ass. You got to

Murph (03:51):
caution safe sport

Zac Saleski (03:54):
takes you two or three days to go through it. If
you really sit down and pump itout,

Murph (03:57):
which I'm sure in Europe, it's like cutting edge like
actually probably helps you hearus it's just basically their way
of being like Well, now we can'tbe sued because we can
rightfully say we had all ourcoaches sit down and listen to
this stuff. True. So yeah,developing the proper cultures.

Zac Saleski (04:11):
Also, too. I want to give a special shout out to
spend thank you so much for theMcDonald's Coca Cola class.

Murph (04:18):
I never saw him. Thank you. I guess I will take his
word for it. It's like reallyone, bro. So he said so he sent

Zac Saleski (04:24):
me three. Yeah, it is like he felt very obligated
to send us glasses because hekept saying well you guys keep
using cans and bottles andyou're just wasting away the
environment. So he got hisglasses, which I don't get it.

Murph (04:35):
Yeah, said I got bad news for you, buddy. That's like this
beer comes in something from thestore. Don't tell him Yeah,
right. Yeah, this is America.
Sure, we're sure next one justbe us. Like throwing all of them
in the garbage in front of themall. Just all the cans. said
just throw it in there. Yeah,just hear it. Just go to the
landfill and just throw them inthere.

Zac Saleski (04:58):
This is what you've caused me. Exactly. It caused me
heartburn fuckery Europe I don'tknow if you recycle the

Murph (05:08):
problem I can feel I can feel you're getting hotter from

letter part of it was like hewas talking about this is not a
Greta Thunberg approval hecalled her Greta

more like maple gay. Right shut down.

Murph (06:04):
Got him. Went back to middle school for that one. That
one. That one got it. Just PTSDright there. That one got

Zac Saleski (06:12):
anything happen in Canada right now? They open up
the borders again.

Murph (06:14):
They did so you know. I guess like that happened a while
ago. But yes, they did. They didthat. You know, I don't think
they mourn for the queen dying.
But it was big news up there. Soyeah, that was big. I think they
I think they did a littlesomething. But I can't remember
my family didn't talk a lotabout it. They just kept talking
about how she died and how shewas cute and all this other
stuff. And it was like I kind offound it funny. All the stuff
that came out after about likethe other horrible things going

(06:35):
on under her reign. Oh, yeah.
Like all these countries now arelike we're so sorry. She passed
but like now we want to be ourown thing now. Like, you have
the things that you still Yeah,we'd be our own countries now.
Or

Zac Saleski (06:49):
I was watching Tic Toc and and there's like there's
one thing or the showing, likehow much basically like their
assets they had. It isridiculous. It's crazy on top of
you know, the ungodly amounts oftaxes going to pay in the land
as British citizens buteverything else is like they had
the biggest diamond that's everbeen

Murph (07:05):
out of India or something. Yeah, they'd like a
president or whatever thatcountry's like yeah, we want
that back. Like that's a lot ofmoney like and they're just like
noop Yeah, exactly. You know,you can politely Go fuck
yourself.

Zac Saleski (07:18):
King Charles is like

Murph (07:21):
what do they call it that English humor I forgot what they
call it like the English pickuplines that like those Seidman
guys will do on tick tock everyonce in a while where it's like,
Virgin date rape and they'relike, oh, it's English humor and
I'm like, Oh, thanks so this isjust this is stuff I tried in
college it didn't work like myvirginity card all over again.
Close to Home

Zac Saleski (07:42):
surprise Canada didn't like be like you know
what kind of tired of

Murph (07:45):
this now they're happy to hitch their wagon to England I'm
sure there's some Canadians outthere that like tires know what
the fuck he's talking about. ButI feel like they have lots of
opportunities to separatethemselves and they have not so
Murph is

Zac Saleski (07:59):
the the the professional here the separatist
on this

Murph (08:03):
part French Canadian

Zac Saleski (08:05):
you side with the natives too far? Nevermind. Stir
and talking to the from Trudeauright oh boy. i You know what I
think is eventually when Trudeauwhatever he decides to get out
of office. I think we could seesomething maybe I'll be
hilarious you get likeconservative voice in there

(08:25):
maybe

Murph (08:25):
honestly with all the news coming out in the world
with like, Justin like yeah,Italy doing its thing and all
these other countries. It's likeyeah, I wouldn't be surprised if
Canadians elected a very Trumplike individual So yeah, that's
I would be shocked on thatbecause I know there's a few
democratic Canadians that wouldis gonna I'm gonna piss on my
grades are saying that but no, Icould see a mass majority coming

(08:49):
out and being like, yeah, no,fuck this PC shit.

Zac Saleski (08:53):
That's the thing man. I got it. I kind of got a
real kind of looking into thingswhen people start throwing rocks
at your dough on the

Murph (09:00):
trail. That's really the only lake like like that's the
only Oh, I guess there was notthe biggest of deals but kind of
big deal. They had like a reallybig knife murder a few weeks
ago. It Yeah, this guy like Iguess it was drug related. And
it was near reservation went onlike a little killing spree and
they couldn't find him for awhile him and his brother had

(09:20):
killed like 14 people. I don'tsay I looked that up that I
don't think that number iscorrect. But it was a pretty
high number. And it was likeeverything I think was like
knives or something. And then hewent just like it was in like
the wilderness of Manitoba orsomewhere around there. And
yeah, he like he was like, yeah,like disappear. Like they
couldn't find him for like fivedays. Yeah, it was it was pretty
crazy. They said it was it wasup there for one of Canada's

(09:44):
bigger murders. I mean, they'vehad some serial murders up
there. But in recent history,that one was pretty big compared
to the other guy that disguisedhimself as a Mountie, and we
started killing people randomlyand then catch him for a few
days. It was bad but

Zac Saleski (09:55):
yeah, can wait for the newspaper headline that man
walks around with knife

Murph (09:59):
right That was it was big for a little while there. I
think he made national news asbig for a while then they
eventually caught him and he'scaught now he's done but yeah,
that was that was kind of thatwas kind of big up there for a
little while.

Zac Saleski (10:10):
He just got bored.
Right probably.

Murph (10:11):
I don't know. Well, drug related probably just got really
high. Oh true. Yeah.

Zac Saleski (10:16):
Recollection

Murph (10:17):
crazy shit like crazy show like I know. Yeah like
Alaska. Oh yeah did I readsomething online that some guy
who was like an avid meth usergot pissed at work one day and
because someone had swept likeuse a broom and swept over his
feet, and he believed it wasgonna be 40 years of bad luck.
Oh, so he just started wailingon this person. Oh my god. Yeah,

(10:39):
like it's crazy drunk. I don'tknow, I didn't the story that I
read didn't really say muchmore. They was just found out
that he had a history of methodmeth use methadone use so it was
just kind of like, oh, yikes.
Yeah. So obviously he wasmissing a few brain cells. Oh, a
couple. Yeah. Yeah. seemed likea good individual. Absolutely.
That's but no better than hatingTrudeau blue J seem to be doing
really well. They're gonna makethe playoffs. It looks like for

(11:01):
baseball, which anytime theCanadian team makes playoffs,
the whole country is pumped.
That's why the Raptors were sucha big thing. The whole country
it was burned down. And hockeyseason starting soon. So other
than that, that's really kind ofall I know, for the Canadians
right now that are kind of goingaround. I'm sure lots of people
in the comment section will belike there's a genocide going on
or something. And I bet again,I'm not hearing anything about

(11:21):
that. But I will remind everyonethe news on here is from family
I do not hear I do not avidlywatch the BBC or something like
that. I think Murph NewsNetwork. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
It's very vague and very onesided. It's like the Fox
network. Not a lot of facts,just baseless opinions and
faceless stuff.

Zac Saleski (11:39):
Secondhand rumors.
Exactly. in small towns. Yes.
It's like your number one newssource.

Murph (11:44):
And we're making up things.

Zac Saleski (11:45):
And then Exactly, I mean, in in that in an answer,
Murph news network.

Murph (11:53):
That's a lot of ends. You don't need one. Network sick.

Zac Saleski (11:57):
Right. And who's gonna

Murph (11:59):
have a stroke trying to say

Zac Saleski (12:02):
sorry, snowblowers.
Right. I was mentioned thistomorrow before the podcast, but
there's this. We're big fans oftiny meat gang podcast. Oh,
yeah. It's because like, Cody ishe's Canadian, but they had this
one thing on one of theirepisodes. It's basically this
Canadian. No, it was it was kindof like a religious kind of
retreat. But it basically is forfor people who have who are

(12:25):
addicted to drugs and alcoholand stuff. So it's kind of like
a concert thing. That's calledrehab.

Murph (12:32):
Rehab.

Zac Saleski (12:33):
There was a stage so it's more so like
motivational type stuff. But Ifound out I was in Winnipeg,
ironically.

Murph (12:39):
Yeah. And the guy's like one when I was wanting to do
anything out there true.

Zac Saleski (12:43):
I mean, to be worse to be admitted. It just like
this singular stage, and it'sprobably like 20 people watching
this guy kind of like paced backand forth slowly. This guy's
like, you know, you're gonna weguys gonna complain about you're
gonna start blaming for yourproblems. Nobody but you. It's
like, oh, okay, where's the hellis this headed? It's like

Murph (13:02):
you can start getting hot I like it. You could pray pray
to Jesus

Zac Saleski (13:05):
all you want. No, fuck you. It's like whoa, sure.
How's this?

Murph (13:10):
It's like some real self discovery right there.

Zac Saleski (13:13):
Yeah, like loving the morning server. You don't?

Murph (13:17):
Currently someone will steal Hi, they did not

Zac Saleski (13:19):

That's not like oh, that'sthat's that's my Canadian news
for a day. Oh, yeah, that'll doit. I shut down tick tock for a
whole day for that.

Murph (13:31):
God read the stuff you find on tick tock. It's

Zac Saleski (13:33):
a never ending loop. The worst never ending
loop

Murph (13:35):
never ending this podcast.

Zac Saleski (13:40):
Just like a slow turn off. actly right. Yeah. And
done. Geez. Well, Murph. Yeah.
How's life? Your buddy doing it?
Oh, I

Murph (13:47):
guess should I tell them that I made a trip to your
motherland. Oh, yeah, go ahead.
This Yeah, this is excellent. Sothis is for worse. I did go to
Kansas City, Missouri, Ibelieve. Yep. Yep. I would so
what Zach was like, oh, youknow, you gotta get these chips
are called gay. Which I waslike, interesting name, but
that's fair. Gay chips.

Zac Saleski (14:08):
I don't know what kind of part of town you were
in.

Murph (14:10):
Don't you texted me? Did you text me gay? That was the
name of them.

Zac Saleski (14:13):
That was another Zack. How you toma okay, it

Murph (14:16):
was the dealerships,

Zac Saleski (14:17):
guys.

Murph (14:18):
Oh, guys. Sorry. All right. I was one letter off
yeah, guys chips, whichunfortunately I didn't get him
any because I'm a terriblefriend. And I didn't find them.
I could have looked at maybe alittle harder but just couldn't
find all you had to do a grocerystore or corner store which is
really bad because we were at agrocery store at one point I had
forgotten Oh, and my boss hadremembered like 30 minutes after

(14:39):
we left. He's like did you getthose chips? Oh, no luck. So not
our Yeah, that was Yeah, we wereI was only there unfortunately
for three days so I couldn't goto Zach's hometown true where
see all the special small townstuff and exactly what the Jesse
James robbed a bank there.

Zac Saleski (14:55):
Yeah, just first just for the very first daylight
saving or do daylight robbery

Murph (15:01):
yeah which then again this was back in the 20s like
that where liners bro was a shipYeah, I'm thinking of mid to
late they kind of see after soyeah that the Johnny Depp movie
was his face yeah right no nowhat was the other one he did
where was like public enemies orsomething like that where he was

(15:22):
you know see an air of like BabyFace Nelson and all them

Zac Saleski (15:24):
Oh Capone

Murph (15:25):
yeah it was a good poem but he was someone like
something like that yeah anyway

Zac Saleski (15:29):
I did actually want to Jesse James in that movie

Murph (15:32):
yeah because rapid has a few of those like some good ones
and then the other ones justfull

Zac Saleski (15:35):
he's from Missouri so that sounds like that was a
weird piece we'll get sorry

Murph (15:39):
no you're gonna know you're here so yeah, so I didn't
get to go do that which wasdisappointing but you know it
was what it was. So we stayeddowntown Kansas City first thing
just gonna get it off the batfor anyone that goes and visits
a lot of homeless and they areall nuts. I can't tell you how
many times I wake up in themorning and go to like walk and
get some coffee and I don't knowif the viewers will be proud or

(16:02):
be like why are you spendingmoney like this but I like to
try and go and I'm like, whenI'm traveling to like little
coffee local coffee shops like Idon't like doing the chains so
like I don't like the DunkinDonuts or stuff like I'll go to
a little cafe kind of stylething so they had like one or
two right near our apartmentapartment now primary hotel and
so as like literally the twomornings I woke up to go walk

(16:23):
there it was like someone hadtaken all the trash and thrown
it all over the street andtipped them upside down taking
the plans and tips some of themupside down or threw them broken
some stuff stuffed trash andlocal business door handles like
shit like that. And literallylike right across the street.
Yeah, right across the street.
You just see them camped outlike tents and like all that
stuff. So I guess Zach said anew mayor came in and was just

(16:45):
kind of like, oh, like you know,this is their land tunes just
like let them do their thing andyou're just kind of like you're
seeing literally these peoplehaving psychotic breakdowns and
in one case I saw I don't knowif it was the homeless persons
or not, but there was literallya knife next to one like a few
yards away that if I had maybemade the wrong comment or the
wrong iContact he could havegrabbed it and used it which was

(17:06):
like really nuts but you know,we live in an imperfect world I
know some people are gonna belike oh, they're homeless about
and I'm like we gotta do bettertaking care of it but that's
just my opinion.

Zac Saleski (17:15):
Well and of course we're gonna run for all right,

Murph (17:18):
right and of course we were in your hospital too so I
think that's why they were itwas like a park at a hospital so
they're all staying in the parkI think because the hospitals
like right there yeah, the otherthing that was kind of cool
didn't realize is like it feelslike it's like the City of
Fountains like was a FlorenceItaly it got shut on Kansas
City. There were a lot of townsI don't like huge ones but there
were a lot of good ones around Ithink there's just driving

(17:39):
around the downtown we saw likesix It was insane and it was
like you know they had some ofthe Greek undertones like
Neptune and all that stuff.
Others were just kind of randomfigures. I don't know what
they're supposed to represent.
But the cool ones with thehorses on the US like there
wasn't a park or things in ourhotel Park Country Club plaza
that Yeah, cuz we weren't that'swhere we stayed

Zac Saleski (17:58):
on there. Yeah, there okay. Yeah, so that one
ironically it's funny hementioned this candidate he's
actually known for having theycall the City of Fountains but
they as far as things FlorenceItaly, but they said Florence
has more but they have morefountains but Cassidy has the
most I guess, working activefountains in any city in the
world. So it's wastewater butthat fountain the the one that

(18:20):
Murph saw actually was a giftfrom the French I don't know
what store was it basically theysent it to them I should know
that they sent it to us becauseI guess when their French
authors or philosophers cameover and he's like, this is the
best place I've been to and thewhole world and he's like I want
to show of gratitude and it'scool because like that specific
found anytime that chiefs playthe Royals play they always dye

(18:41):
the water certain color forsupport and stuff so it's pretty
cool like during cheap seasonsred or blue for the Royals

Murph (18:48):
and all that stuff. was beautiful is a nice fountain
like the sound is gonna soundstupid, but the water pressure
was good that like like the feltgood. It wasn't like just piss
and water. It was like fullbore. It was awesome. And it was
it was hard. Yeah, it was in acool parks just seeing all these
people like jogging. And wereyou when you look back to the
homeless, it was really nice tokind of just see the grounds and
and like little workout areasaround it. It

Zac Saleski (19:10):
was good. It was cool. Probably we weren't too
far from the museum and no, I

Murph (19:14):
don't think I was I don't remember passing it when we
walked around the way it was notbig. shuttlecock. Nice. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, I think I saw like alittle outline of it or so they
referenced it. Yeah, it's a bigYeah, it was like ever seeing a
picture I was it was in ourpamphlet hotel provided of like
things to do in the city as buthey, you know,

Zac Saleski (19:33):
Natural History Museum and Art Museum.

Murph (19:37):
Cool. Okay, so the Shamrock is Piece art. Gotcha.
Yeah, kinda cool. Yeah,honestly, I would definitely go
back it sucked. I was there forwork like the one day I could go
out and do things. It was likeWell, no, I couldn't go and do
things but the one day we couldgo we were out in the town. It
was like 100 degrees and we hadto go to like a ton of different
restaurants to like, look at thestuff it was literally like a 12
hour day. So yeah, we justdidn't have time to but I would

(20:00):
Definitely go back. It was areally cool city but like I get
some more on the brighter sideof that stuff was like it really
cool. The area we stayed in waslike really cool little shops
and all that stuff. Like it waslike the shopping mall and all
that. So it was really coolseeing all that really quiet
though. Like it's kind of sad.
Like it wasn't very busy. Likeit was just very quiet
everywhere. Like, we went to afew bars and it was I mean, we
were there I guess the beginningof the week and it was like
nobody at these bars like we gohave dinner and nobody was

Zac Saleski (20:24):
out there people they gotta work to go celebrate
tourists. Oh, that's

Murph (20:28):
fair. That actually it was expensive. It's expensive.
Like it's weirdly expensive outthere shouldn't be kind of was
though. I mean, downtown,probably expensive like New
York. I'm not like but it'sstill expensive for being the
Midwest. I keep away from Ohio.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Iguess I'm just spoiled. It's
hard to compare. You can'tcompare others Originally, the

Zac Saleski (20:45):
city is going to be like that. I think Murph was
closer to what we call, there'slike a strip of bars down there
near the god there arena. It'scalled The Power Light District.
It has a bunch of bars andwhatnot. But on the outside of
that it's where they have like alot of the kind of like the
local places, some of the localstores. And then I'm not sure
how far you were from the jazzdistrict at all.

Murph (21:06):
Didn't hear anything about that. About Yeah, I do
know, we were about 12 minutesaway from the stadiums, because
we drove by him. But did you getto one of our restaurants? Yeah.
So I was gonna go into that itwas really cool. Like, that's
what Philly was kind of likethis. And I love that. And I
think that's what also KansasCity is like, which I love is
that they put the stadiumsreally close to each other for
their major sporting teams. Andso you kind of could just park

(21:29):
and tailgate and you could dolike multiple games, and they're
all playing on the same day,which was like really awesome.
So like, instead of thinkinglike external Columbus does a
good job here. But like I'mtrying to think of another
example. I really can't think ofany I guess when I lived in
Atlanta, it was like where theThrash was played at the time.
Was it a different part ofArkansas, right? No, that's it.
My brother played in Phoenix,where like the rink was where
the coyotes played was like oneside of the city that was like

(21:51):
kind of a way that people didn'twant to go after work. And then
like the Diamondbacks play, likein a whole nother area that like
Drew was easier to get to. Andso it's kind of great when you
see cities kind of work togetherthat you can just use one
parking lot for all the majorevents. It's just kind of easy
to find at all. If events happento piggyback off each other.
Like that's what Philadelphiadid, which was awesome. So you

(22:11):
could just like easily liketailgate, a, you know, near the
end of the Eagles, and thenmaybe go to a flyers game later
that day, like it was like itwas really cool. So that was
kind of cool to

Zac Saleski (22:20):
draw out on is that complex? It's called the Harry
Truman complex. Yeah.

Murph (22:25):
Okay. That makes sense.
Because one of the restaurantsnear there is called Truman's
marketplace. Yep. So, yes.
Truman was from Missouri, right.

Zac Saleski (22:32):
He's from Independence. Yeah. The chicken
farmer. Yeah. Yes, he owned hisown business. He owns like a
business.

Murph (22:41):
Yeah, he's a very profitable, very good
businessman, not a greatpresident. But he wasn't
terrible, but it wasn't great,either. Well, they made a lot of
his decisions, because hebecause a lot of people
disrespected him pretty badly. Imean, that was a little
documentary on him recently. Andit was just like, isn't good
enough

Zac Saleski (22:57):
credit. But yeah, there's also other stuff. Yeah,
kind of sideswiped. But at thatpoint, you get FDR who's like,
been in office for 25 years. Icould have done

Murph (23:08):
yeah. I could have became chancellor, Chancellor.

Zac Saleski (23:12):
Chancellor. I haven't seen a counselor.

Murph (23:16):
Honestly, 2022 Whispering deposition around PC. That's
what we need right here. I guessyou can call Karen cancellers.
True. Yeah. Anyway, another, butno, yeah. No. kvcd Yeah, that
that was really cool. Seeingthat to the stadiums was really
cool. There's one Oh, last bigthing. I told Zack. Zack just
rolled his eyes. Well, so thehotel I stayed at was it was

(23:37):
Courtyard by Marriott orsomething like that. We were
going to our rooms and wenoticed in the hallway, they had
the small doors, like outside ofsome of the main doors, and the
doors would have been like, Idon't know, like, I mean, if
you're watching, it probablywould have been like, so from
the from the ground like thishigh. Like, you know, I'm six
feet, it wouldn't have come tomy shoulders. It was maybe like
five or something like that.
Yeah. And they had a knob onthem. And we're just like, but

(23:58):
they're a different color thanlike the room doors. And so they
had a weird technical snafu. Sothe manager led us into our
rooms and then gave us her keys.
And as we're walking, I waslike, hey, like, what are these
doors in the back? And I'm justgonna be honest here. And I
might I thought it was he'sgonna say like, they're for
little people or something likethat, because they were smaller.
And like, I know, I know, atreat everyone the same, but I

(24:19):
thought, oh, maybe they wantappropriate size rooms. I don't
know. But I don't know. So thatwas kind of my thought at first.
Yeah, and then he's just like,oh, no, he's like, these were
believed. I don't know. I didn'tdo the research. But this is
what he claimed is like thisused to be an apartment building
and we've bought it over and nowwe're converting in a hotel and
these doors used to be were upat this floor was the lavish and

(24:41):
privilege that they would puttheir clothes coats in there was
like a mud room before theywould go into their apartment.
And that's where they keep thatstuff to bed. And I was like,
Oh, that's cool. And of coursethe doors were sealed shut and
they didn't like they couldn'topen them but they had the cool
glass looking like like diamondglass looking knobs that you
know, you see an old decor backin the day. Here we go, you
know, and you could twist themaround, but nothing would

(25:01):
happen. So we were like, Oh,that's cool. So then we were in
an Uber ride. And we're talkingto an Uber driver, just kind of
about the city. And I'm thatweird person I talked to my Uber
drivers, I just like to talkwith them a little bit. I feel
like they have such long days.
I'm just like, chat with them.
They want to chat and a lot ofthem want to chat. So I'll
always if I'm traveling, justask them questions and get their
personal opinions as I don't, Idon't mind doing some of the

(25:22):
touristy stuff. But I also likedoing the local stuff. Like I
love experiencing the life whereI'm at. So I just like to see
what they would recommend forlike bars or things like that to
kind of get that local field.
And so we were talking about ourhotel, and he was just like,
have you read up at that hotelyet? And we're like, no. And I
forgot who the owner was.
Apparently, the owner was theowner of the apartments where

(25:44):
they were at the time and helived in them to was like a
really prominent Kansas Citybusinessman. And then I might
have gone into politics. Andthey're like, yeah, he like was
independent. He got intopolitics in like the 60s or 70s.
And he's like, there's this bigmain strip in Kansas City. I
don't know what it's called. Butthis big main road, he sounds
like it's a pretty popular Road,like in Columbus, we'd refer to
as long as like High Street.
It's like almost like cutsthrough the city. And he said, I

(26:06):
know. Yeah. And he said it waslike a time and can in Kansas
where unfortunately, racism hadlike resurfaced. He had able to
somehow get it that he had madethis street the dividing point
between African Americanneighborhoods and white
neighborhoods. And that's whathe had done to the city before
he had died. And so I guessthey're like, he had done some

(26:26):
good, but he had done thisreally bad and so they're saying
it sounds like candles, stilltrying to recover from that. But
yeah, it's it's like you don'tget that undertone when you're
down there. But it also seemslike it's like a secret like
it's a dark secret that nobodytalks about, like Yeah, it's
weird.

Zac Saleski (26:42):
I actually I know exactly what St. Mark's talking
about. So there's a street nearCountry Club Plaza it's where
they cut off kind of the timethe ghetto with the yuppie
people Yep. So it's because likehe basically bought the rest of
the strip and basically made allthe prices through the roof so
no one could even buy anythingor live there and yeah, it was
pretty bad but I get thisquestion a lot people like it

(27:03):
was isn't it kind of racist likethere are parts of Kansas City
are still kind of racist. Gottago outside of it. More rural?
Yeah, you're gonna get

Murph (27:10):
that but yet they're here even here in

Zac Saleski (27:12):
Ohio. Oh, definitely. Yeah. But Cassidy it
was cool about it is thatthey're such a weird, like, mix.
Part of the city. So like,there's so much actually the
areas actually Murph did noteven hit and there's no okay.
Sorry. Yeah, he was he wouldlike these more than I would
have liked

Murph (27:25):
if it was only there for three days. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry.
Yeah.

Zac Saleski (27:29):
No, it's eight.
It's called the street called18th. And vine is where the jazz
district is. So yeah, like thejazz Museum and awesome, like
historical jazz clubs are downthere. And then also, you have
the Negro Leagues Museum,

Murph (27:41):
because I want to do that. I want to go to see that
really badly. That sounds reallycool. Yeah, I was, I think I
heard about that on the podcast.
And I was like, I kind of putthat on my list of I'm that
weird and nerdy. I have a listof museums and monuments I want
to go see, and even some here inAmerica. And I'm just like,
that's high up there.

Zac Saleski (27:56):
It's high. It's one of the coolest things you can
actually see because like, it'skind of cool because like the
jazz Museum and Negro Leaguesmuseum are actually in the same
building across from each other.
So it makes sense. They're a bigpart of that culture. And
Cassidy actually had a reallygood team there at the time
called the Cassidy monarchs theywere they actually they had
satchel page all the VMs thatcame

Murph (28:15):
through a little study on the Negro Leagues definitely
kind of a really cooler part ofAmerican history that
unfortunately also a very badpart of American history. But
it's funny how they said like ifthose if we're integrated sooner
how many of those guys will sellthe birds like I guess they're
saying like, as amazing BabeRuth was like, compared to a lot
of the players in the NegroLeagues he would have maybe been

(28:35):
a benchwarmer like it was justlike it was crazy

Zac Saleski (28:38):
the cool thing about that because I I've been
there as a kid a bunch becausewhat they're up to three times
even the jazz museum so like youkind of get the thing I got
there at the time. I stillremember this where they say
like cancer the issue was one ofthe best teams that time and
they were always like competingwith like Memphis and all these
other teams. And I was like atthat time to the Royals sucked
Yeah, like bad and I'm like oh,I can we have a decent team now?

(29:00):
Graded sooner? Yeah, that's likeshit. This is like late 90s
early 2000s Like the hell didn't

Murph (29:06):
didn't Ohio ever need really team I think probably I
think either since yourCleveland since he was a clowns.
I know the clowns. clowns were ateam I think there were Ohio,

Zac Saleski (29:14):
Cincinnati and Cleveland had

Murph (29:17):
charge I can't look it up right now as I look it up. It
kind of bothered me but yeah, Iknow Ohio, Ohio had a team but I
can't remember probably a coupleyou know, because Jackie
Robinson was in for a while No.
Okay. Yeah, sure. I think sothat night it's

Zac Saleski (29:29):
it's actually Jackie what one of his first
actually won his very firsthouse was through Kansas City.
Oh, nice before he got startedbounced around the different
teams. That's how all that stuffstarted. But that's one of the
coolest spots and then kind oflike Ohio if you guys ever get a
chance to go out there butthere's a bunch of the smaller
towns outside of it. There'sobviously you have the Lewis and
Clark expedition like trail soeverything kind of comes out

(29:49):
there and if you guys follow themy YouTube channel, too, you'll
see there's a lot of other stuffin my hometown that kind of I
mean, actually has actually theMormon, Mormon thing happen.

Murph (29:59):
Is it all sort of Missouri where they had like the
blue family with people with therare blue I don't know just make
it sound like I thought theythought they found their way in
Missouri at some point dude.
Rates Mormon because isn't thatwhere they thought the Garden of
Eden was located in Missouri?

Zac Saleski (30:16):
No so they were working their way actually know
the Prophet Joseph Smith isworking his way out west because
he kept getting like pushed outof all these states. And so
there's this belief with Mormonsand this I didn't even realize
this till like, couple yearsago, I was like, a lot of my
friends were Mormon, like Whatthe hell's going on? And I
realized I realized that

Murph (30:33):
you know, relays are wearing white shirt and black
tie

Zac Saleski (30:37):
wear name tags if you had time, I always have time
What the hell's wrong with you?
Like they come out with like,oh, I would love to play they
just take off like their pantsand like like little like short
slacks. You wouldn't watch therest of development. They start
playing basketball

Murph (30:53):
oh my gosh was where they're all named Jebediah right
and we received that No, I thinkit's the Talk videos where it's
like the extreme north Mormonsbecause they what what is it?
They're always known to ridescooters. Like it was like Okay
brother Jebediah I'm gonna dothis it'll be like they're

(31:14):
jumping over staircases and shitall for the power of the Lord or
whatever from the Mormonreligion. So funny

Zac Saleski (31:21):
anyway. But it's cool thing is like out there. I
think there's a belief thatMormons like you know, wherever
a profit stopped for X amount oftime, that's where we should
live that so we can getspiritual awakening. Do your
thing. Judge whatever but I'mlike, because Joseph Smith was
jailed there were his beliefs. Ididn't know that part of that
guy back in the day. Yeah, late1800s and early on everyone back

(31:42):
then. Yeah, basically. So thatwhole thing and there's so much
history in those areas and evenoutside of it but also to the
independence was like one of thelast major stops before they
head west. Yeah, for the OregonTrail. True. So it just there's
a lot of crazy histories. I

Murph (31:59):
realized the unique thing about the United States is you
could pretty much go to anystate and you can find a lot of
interesting things like a lot ofinteresting stuff happen like
obviously New York, Miami, allthat stuff going to be towards
hotbeds but it's great that youcan kind of go off the beaten
path these other states likecan't sleep on can't can't sleep
on Kansas City like a lot ofcool stuff. They're doing this
they have a World War Onemonument there too. It's really

(32:20):
good museums. Yeah, they haveproud islands to

Zac Saleski (32:24):
one of the very few I think the only other ones
probably out in France. Yeah,

Murph (32:28):
yeah, World War One is not really a big thing. Yeah. My
thesis paper was like now Idon't think Canada has

Zac Saleski (32:34):
they for well for years they they finally got the
funding to redo the memorial.
It's actually right in front ofUnion Station out in Kansas City
they have this huge obelisklooking type of thing and it's
basically just a World War WorldWar One monument and but they
have a museum they added into itI went there on my YouTube
channel videos it was it thething is phenomenal on the
inside it's crazy and how indepth it gets oh my god it's

(32:56):
definitely worth the money. It'sawesome but I'll do that has so
much like artifacts and stuffbut sick but you just you don't
get to you don't get stuff likethat anywhere else. The one
thing that is why I was gettinga little sassy with the damn
chips. They're always so

Murph (33:12):
damn gays chips who can

Zac Saleski (33:15):
tell me where these these chips actually oh god I
realized that So years later, sothey actually got bought out by
a distributing firm in Columbusironically, okay, when I was
still living out in Missouri,that's where so that's you they
used to be made in my hometownand they were I see him all the
time as a kid but I didn'trealize till back then they said
they were the one the very veryfirst companies ever make the
barbeque flavored chips. Okay,cuz they're known for barbecue

(33:37):
out there. So they started doingthat and then they're one of a
couple that started with thesour cream and onion and then
they just came out with one itwas like french fry seasoning
because they partnered up withsome local Barbecue Shop and I'm
like gosh,

Murph (33:50):
sounds like to me just sounds like salt is long Salty.
Salty has potato and salt.

Zac Saleski (33:56):
Potato Polish special right?

Murph (34:00):
Salt potatoes. Thank

Zac Saleski (34:01):
you sir. Yep, but now there's there's so much
stuff out there and I was almosthaving a mental breakdown
because I saw there's an updatewas a couple things like last
week. They just had update onthe new airport out there. I'm
like,

Murph (34:12):
damn, yeah, that's very, the it's not very impressive.
Yeah, it's the weirdest thingI've ever seen. Like, I don't
know how to explain thisproperly. But it's like it's
three roundabout Yeah, but it'slike to get into the airport.
It's like it's basically justlike a half moon. And then it's
like you walk in and you can hitmultiple different TSA agents,

(34:35):
TSA gates and then once you getthrough that you're just there
like it's there. You're therelike there's not really a lot of
like restaurants or anythinglike it was like I even thought
about getting like somethingchiefs or even I was like
looking for your chips in theairport and all that and I was
like they have jack shit herelike it was literally like the
most like overproduced airportstuff they had and then you like

(34:55):
go upstairs on the second leveland that's where we meet my boss
had lunch. We had some prettygood barbecue up They're

Zac Saleski (35:01):
no so it's like kind of what Merced but it's
like we call like theprocrastinators paradise almost.
Oh yeah. Because it's like youcould my dad is like my dad used
to travel all the time but healways told me like I can be
from where I used to livegrowing up. It was like maybe, I
don't know. 30 minutes. Yeah, Icould drive 30 minutes Park get
into my gate and be fine. Yeah,I feel like there was

Murph (35:19):
like, it's never very busy. It just doesn't seem like
it's ever even was I guess itsbusiest. It was like, you can
still find parking and all thatbecause it's like because it's
half moon is like the parkingsin the middle. You just walk in
like it's like the best. Yeah.
And, and there's a bunch ofroundabouts. So there's no
lights, so it's just just goingthrough roundabouts. And it's
like, next thing you know, it'slike, oh, we're hanging on the
roundabout looks like wait, no,wait, this is a parking. You can
park here now. And I was like,Oh, we're in the turret We're

(35:41):
in. We're in the drop off. Youwalk in and we're like, Okay,
here's a TSA go through. They'relike, okay, like, Oh, we're in
the terminal. Now like, we'rehere. Like, it was just like
that was it like, it sounds thebest way to explain it is the
airfield is the biggest part ofthat. Like, there's a lot of
runways and all that but theairport itself where you get
like how it was before yourflight is very small. It's
weird. And I'm

Zac Saleski (36:01):
not saying this because I'm biased but like I've
flown a lot of different placesthat's still probably when the
easiest aisle super easiestaccessible, I will pay for it.
But it's like it's it's acoolest thing. Because when you
drive in initially, you havelike three exits for those three
half. So half moods, so one'sgonna be like, you're like TWA
used to be the biggest. Oh,yeah. Now the biggest person
that they used to help there,that's why it doesn't look busy
anymore. So that was southwestused to be big. And then but

(36:24):
yeah, so it's like the one areais a car a domestic flight,
Southwest TD TWA, whatever. Thenext one was like, alright,
Delta American. And then thethird one would be like,
alright, international flights.
Yeah. So it's like, yeah, youpark right in the middle, get
your stuff your walk crossstreet, bam, you're there right
check in you'll be dealing likedamn,

Murph (36:38):
did you tell me story was the story that there was because
I was thinking International.
There's a big one populationthere because it was like they
all went there for factory jobsafter one of the wars and
because of Vietnamese Vietnameselike that. Whereas like the
oldest ended up in Kansas Cityfor some weird reason. Yeah,
there's

Zac Saleski (36:53):
there's a weird like Vietnamese population. Is
it? Yeah,

Murph (36:55):
it was like after the Vietnam War, or whatever they
did, like a lot of thememigrated over, I think after
the Americans left, and theyjust kind of all ended up in
Kansas City. Somehow there'slike a small Vietnam or
something in Kansas City. It wasweird. Yeah.

Zac Saleski (37:06):
Vietnamese, and little bit of Taiwanese. Yeah.
And there

Murph (37:11):
maybe it's like not Mongol? I can't remember. But it
was something like that was aweird like, Asian Southeast
Asian country, whereas like,Rose Yeah, where it's like it's
like a weird population of abiggest finance cabinet even
like how the Somali populationhere in Ohio like it's weird how
some of these countries settlein certain areas where it's
either because it reminds themof their homeland or they just
came for certain jobs and theystay a man. Yeah, it was it was

(37:33):
fun. It's

Zac Saleski (37:34):
it's fun because I look back now I'm like, you
know, it makes sense. Because Inever really saw a whole lot of
Chinese was always Vietnamese.
There were the craziest funniestpeople ever. They'd be like, all
mister, there was go to my dad,like Mr. Paul. I'm like, Oh my
god. The hell's happening? Andthey're always like, wanting to
like get you to go out and partyand drink. I'm like the hell
These people are nuts. I likehim. Right? It's like, Yeah, you
get those you get those kinds ofpeople like the the Vietnamese

(37:57):
and then a lot of Mexicans anddifferent kinds of Yeah, well,
they just ended up there. Butit's a good city.

Murph (38:05):
Good. It was one of

Zac Saleski (38:07):
the biggest stamp of

Murph (38:08):
approval. That's all I did. I wouldn't say biggest but
yes, I gave you a very goodstamp of approval. I will I
will. I will unfortunately haveto be honest. And I will say if
you are paying money and takingthe risk to come to America
Yeah, unfortunately you know,New York Miami, probably like LA
or San Jose like you know,ghosts go stop those places. But
if you can like backpack throughthe US, definitely Kansas City I

(38:31):
would I would strongly recommendcan make it one Stop that

Zac Saleski (38:34):
crap. Like if you're flying or national. You
guys always go to the same placein New York and Chicago. And I
mean, if

Murph (38:40):
you've never been there should go at least once. It's a
good thing to experience once.
Yeah, it's kind of like it'skind of like saying like, you
weren't gonna go to Germany andnot go to Berlin. Like you kind
of got to do it. Like it's like,the country identifies by like,
well, sorry, Germany, you know,you probably don't identify by
that.

Zac Saleski (38:56):
Like all Berlin.
Yeah, it's crazy.

Murph (38:58):
Right? Yeah, they probably be like, yeah, go to
colo, or whatever. But I'm justlike, close. Wait, yeah, he's
that. Yeah. Or Bavaria? Like Idon't I know. Bavaria is not a
it's a it's a state,

Zac Saleski (39:08):
but he's the only one I would say overseas. Like,
that would be like don't go it'sParis. Yeah,

Murph (39:13):
no, I hear that. I hear that a lot. Unfortunately. I
think as I told you, if I wentto Europe, I wouldn't stay there
but I would do like a day tripthere and then get the fuck out.
Yeah, yeah. But like, I feellike if I'm in France, I gotta
do it. Like you just gotta doit. Like it's

Zac Saleski (39:30):
just drive right through. Oh, this is nice. I
like

Murph (39:33):
to see the Louvre even though it's super busy like to
see that they do have somemuseums and stuff. I'd like to
see you guys see the EiffelTower my decks bigger but can I
see them? What's our and yeah,

Zac Saleski (39:42):
I'll keep traveling east to Europe and Germany. Then
get right get to often. Go watchthe vampires play football.

Murph (39:48):
The what? A football team of vampires. Yeah,

Unknown (39:51):
we played in my first year. I was kind of hilarious.
What was there?

Murph (39:54):
Was there a symbol that was a very

Zac Saleski (39:56):
rustic V?

Murph (39:57):
Oh gosh. You're What are you doing? Here's what are you
doing the worst team name ever?
Amen there's worse I guess theyI guess they're on Team Collins
back in the day like Jesus TeamJacob Burke right like kind of
record has ruined me right thereI don't know why that are just
so I'm sure people will be like,oh well you've got a hockey team
called the crack and like that Idon't know why it works but the

(40:19):
vampires like seriously like

Zac Saleski (40:24):
don't mess with the other one. The fighting farmers

Murph (40:29):
that I kind of respect I do not know what it is about
vampires. It just kind of seemsvery like seriously Yeah, let's
go with the pirates then just dosomething like vampires is such
a weird thing and anything if aempires traveling groups they're
all loners that put you evoke itright oh my gosh. Yeah, it
sounds like a bunch of peopleare haunting

Zac Saleski (40:47):
was it was a big daddy's like that's him was
blushing with his father wasshut up. Oh my that's a
prerequisite for never seen aguest

Murph (41:00):
Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know why that triggered me
all of a sudden I was justreally weird and we have some
very stupid farm team baseballteams in the US but true
vampires just were really weirdhit me in a really bad spot
right there that was weird. Iwant to pick me up we're gonna
go to Aachen ever I guess notknow if that if it's for failing
cross that one off the list? Wasit like bombed World War Two

(41:20):
that's why they're vampires likewhat like I just don't get

Zac Saleski (41:23):
it the whole area basically was the march right
actually, it's probably like thearea where these marches right
through

Murph (41:29):
okay, didn't know that actually. Wait, that's my That
sounds fun. I was like oh, thatsounds very familiar. Is it a c
h e n Yeah. Is that here thebattle the bulge probably might
have been ordained forest andall that that

Zac Saleski (41:40):

the northwest part of Germany.
Steel Yep. And yeah, I for likethe borders and

Murph (41:48):
Alex you've got a stupid football team name.

Zac Saleski (41:51):
And that's why you guys were relegated that's where
you can now enjoy exam. I wentway too hard.

Murph (41:57):
We did we really do.
bashed out on him pretty well.
Brother like their fifth leagueleave alone. They're already
dead. Stop beating them. beatinga dead kid even get lower than
fifth League. Yeah.

Zac Saleski (42:07):
What's the lowest seventh

Murph (42:09):

college

Zac Saleski (42:12):
league out? Well, that's not different
universities. Yeah,

Murph (42:15):
that's a but yeah, so they barely get paid. Gotcha.
Barely, right.

Zac Saleski (42:19):
That's really a lot of clubs actually come out of in
Germany. They start as club kindof concepts from but sponsored
by universities and they kind oflike roll out of that. Get their
own sponsorships and money then.

Murph (42:29):
Yeah, somebody's got to do it. Someone's got to do it.
True. True. damn true. And weshould probably talk about our
sponsors the hidden vampires.
Right coming in, but don't stayout all night. Gosh, was it like
on the border of Transylvanialike I'm just trying to this
vampires things really throw meover

Zac Saleski (42:48):
France and Germany.
I want

Murph (42:52):
at least it was the year like Romania that okay
Transylvania was like kind ofthere and you know, it's
Dracula, so it's like vampiresmake sense? But no, just doesn't
just doesn't No, no, no, nothere. No.

Zac Saleski (43:04):
Oh, I do this every week. We're just like I started
spouting off different teenagersfrom like Germany show piss off
Murph right now. I mean, Ithought I thought the new elf
team was it Helvetic guard wouldhave pissed him off I guess not

Murph (43:16):
I didn't really hate that and he's that was in Switzerland
so it kind of made sense. Such along name though. Oh, very long,
but I feel like it's not theguard part. It's the city part
which like they don't have anycontrol over that true yeah,
it's not like his vet orwhatever the heck you just said
Hills medic Helvetic wasn't likea term they made up like there's
some sort of Lord of the Ringsspecial elfish guard or

(43:37):

Murph (44:06):
Hilarious. Oh, yeah, that would work should definitely do
that. We try to definitely dothat try

Zac Saleski (44:11):
to anchor cell so we actually come up with the
best fucking

Murph (44:14):
changer podcasts now to obscure German football team
names. We're coming up withthem. We're finding out about
them. We're doing all the funds

Zac Saleski (44:22):
please send us your your city so we can shit on them
for 20 minutes. Exactly.

Murph (44:26):
I think we went way longer than 20 minutes on that
vampire thing. That one did thatone derailed a little that one
got off the tracks.

Zac Saleski (44:34):
You know, it's sort of that Canadian Tiktok or who
always stops at random cities.
Oh, yeah. There's alwayssomething to do.

Murph (44:40):
Leroy Leroy. Leroy, he's Leroy. Do

Zac Saleski (44:45):
we should do that?
Cities where we just findsomething to get really angry. I

Murph (44:49):
don't we kind of do that when we go in our small towns
kind of yeah, like I usuallyrant about some stupid

Zac Saleski (44:55):
answer by any college. There you go. Oh my
gosh. Yeah. accepting transfersnow

Murph (45:01):
yeah for the love of God and cash fund them

Zac Saleski (45:04):

Murph (45:06):

two years to ego

Zac Saleski (45:10):
yeah to two months

Murph (45:12):
yeah get your bachelor's degree Yeah. Do you want half
your campuses buildings to becondemned? There you go.

Zac Saleski (45:17):
Big Ass greenhouse was huge. I used to be our gym
but we just grow things in there

Murph (45:21):
now. Oh gosh. Yeah. Oh, it needs a football team. That'd
be it.

Zac Saleski (45:25):
I looked at the requirements cuz I was just
curious to see what's going onover there.

Murph (45:28):
Gotta breathe what probably just have to breathe as
your requirement like sure it'shard to get to community college
compared to that one.

Zac Saleski (45:35):
Look this the the majors I was like, What the hell
is this crap? No wonder you'rein debt. Right? It's like, it's
gonna sound really bad. SJWactivism activism, gosh, Gender
Studies.

Murph (45:46):
It's great for a woke culture, but like, how's that
gonna put food on the table?
Like how you gonna make moneyoff that?

Zac Saleski (45:52):
A lot of sounds?
Yeah, I

Murph (45:53):
know. It sounds really bad. But like how I guess that's
it HR. Like, yeah, like, hecould become a community
activist. But like, that's likelove HR. Yeah, culture. Oh my
gosh, yeah.

Zac Saleski (46:04):
I do it. Aquaponics man.

Murph (46:07):
Oh my gosh, yeah, I guess like that old person. That old
guy, the alum that we've met,where he's like, oh, yeah, my
one friend came here just togoof off for four years and then
he decided to become a doctor inNew York and went to another
school and we're like, oh, andhe's like yeah, he's like a top
four doctor and all of New Yorknow like okay,

Zac Saleski (46:22):
I guarantee he's not giving any money to that
college. Oh, no. No, no, no.
Smoke weed so I transfer NYU thehell of that right

Murph (46:31):
like on anything you transfer that you just graduated
from? There was some weirddegree and there's like he was
able to go back to school

Zac Saleski (46:37):
that was even looking for history just I was
like, You know what can't belike that demand he was just
there's no basic history. He waslike literally anything but the
normal stuff. The Fringe majors.

Murph (46:47):
Er, yeah, you you are going there as a certain they
are definitely typecast thatthey're who they are and it's
not a mature the population thatgoes there is not a very diverse
one. It's probably very likeminded individuals.

Zac Saleski (47:02):
I don't know why we're so like, pissed off about
this college actually.

Murph (47:05):
I guess that's it because they label themselves as an
accredited academic, universityacademic academia and I'm like,
this is the things that fuckAmericans over like, is like,
going there for highereducation. It's like no, you're
going there to get coddled wastea shit ton of money and be
fucked for the rest of your lifelike it really like to me that's

(47:26):
this Ponzi scam right there. Iunderstand you could probably
learn some great things aboutthe world there but it's like
with nowadays with what collegeis really preparing you and even
Miami was questionable atmoments but like there are still
aspects of that that I carrywith me in my career. I feel
like what you've just what we'vejust talked about what that
school and what that school iskind of built on has nothing a
credible that will help you whenyou realize that who I need to

(47:50):
work a real job that puts foodon the table and keeps the
lights on as I say living in mybrother's home that makes
millions of dollars bare minimumrent. So yes, my history degree
has taken me a lot of greatplaces in the world. Well heaps
about at least I like to thinkI'm confident enough that like
I'm good to go but I just I justdon't know how you're applying
for jobs at Antioch and say mymajor was sex ed studies or

(48:12):
something on them being like,you're definitely what we need
for accounting like it's justlike I like like you said maybe
HR but even that's a hardstretch nowadays like because
they're going to be superthere'll be PC but they're also
going to be super one minded andin those be like can you be open
minded enough to listen to a HRproblem and make a justified
decision that's best for thecompany? Like that's Yeah

(48:35):
herbology

Zac Saleski (48:36):
professors gonna be an Alan Kay their professors Pro

Murph (48:38):
as I say, okay, they're Harry Potter.

Zac Saleski (48:41):
Okay, there Yeah,

Murph (48:41):
Harry Potter. I mean, I'm sure you know what actually
that's probably what needs tohappen is once we legalize weed
then all there they'll probablyhave a great call that studies
where it's like no, there'salways that we just kind of like
planted in the ground and grewup but it's like a whole science
behind it like it's crazy. So Iimagine they have a major for
that and they will make lots ofmoney once it because

Zac Saleski (48:59):
it can't equip me right. That's like, was overland
when we weren't same kind of thesame thing? Except they actually
had like they had art and stuff.
Yeah, they should have good art.
Right and like actually theaterprogram,

Murph (49:11):
things that weren't like yeah, it's things that weren't
based on prejudice or bias likeyou actually like there was like
facts behind it instead of justbeing like no, this is what I
want to believe like, you know,

Zac Saleski (49:22):
a little weird afterwards when you saw the was
a PETA was out there.

Murph (49:26):
Oh my gosh, like, oh, gosh,

Zac Saleski (49:28):
what was a lot in theory there.

Murph (49:30):
Oh, yeah, that was weird.
No, no, that was a different Iwas the last one we went to.

Zac Saleski (49:34):
Yeah, it was Oh, yeah. Oberlin

Murph (49:37):
Hey, sorry, sorry. Yeah.
Yeah, the mask Yeah, oh, werethat they weren't even saying
anything. They're just holdingsigns and like you say they're
playing videos of animalsgetting slaughtered or

Zac Saleski (49:49):
something? Yeah, they're just standing there and
then stop. I don't know. It'sjust

Murph (49:53):
like, at least Oberlin.
Like you talked like we talkedabout Oberlin like, had some
stuff there. Like it made senselike, you know, They had a
beautiful museum that's likeokay, they're teaching the
history of art and the reasonsbehind it and shit wasn't like
just make it up shit being likethis is what we want to do
because the world is a scaryplace and this is what I want to
learn.

Zac Saleski (50:11):
Like it just shows course programs. Yeah, I

Murph (50:13):
remember Yeah, actually.
Did you see their basket? Ithink one of the murals was like
their basketball team andapparently their basketball team
did really well one year I thinkthat was one year yeah, but I
remember you saying that afootball team that was like
yeah, that's on the lower scalebut it was okay but yeah,

Zac Saleski (50:25):
that's what these schools are about

Unknown (50:26):
just okay yeah, just just exist this is

Zac Saleski (50:29):
why we do this crap we got small towns we like that

Murph (50:31):
weird don't actually don't hate it. That's where I
feel bad that for thosewondering I don't know if we'll
be able to get to any next monthlike that's what I liked about
when we go do it in Octoberbecause he the small towns would
like they love the fallfestivals so they would just be
all decked out for Halloweenwhereas in these big cities it's
kind of like kind of forget theyforget about it.

Zac Saleski (50:50):
Yeah big time of year honestly.

Murph (50:52):
Yeah, I've honestly feel like the small towns don't care
about the summer they care aboutthe fall this is their time like
they know like this is what theydraw the tourists This is how
they do you know all theirlittle local scary stuff like do
far from here like thatCircleville pumpkin show like
that's pretty much the onlyreason that town exists like it
just like Yeah, cuz

Zac Saleski (51:08):
you got you got Circleville then you got Yeah,
what's the other one? FairbornArias right Fairborn has got one
of the very very few golf waslike a Halloween store. So like
they actually have a whole likeHalloween kind of convention.
Yep. kind of centered aroundtheir store. So that's that's
one way to do that.

Murph (51:24):
Yeah. Well, maybe we'll see if we can squeeze one of
that. Let's squeeze that in nextmonth.

Zac Saleski (51:28):
good squeeze. Good sweet Damn. Yeah, we burned
through that we

Murph (51:31):
did actually that was a Yeah, that was very unscripted
as always like I feel like weare I feel weird that we're able
to sum up our long absence injust over an hour. I feel like
though I feel like lifedelivered us more right I think
like delivered us more but Ican't really remember right now
besides football seasons back upso Zach's half of the chiefs are
playing Yeah, yeah,

Zac Saleski (51:51):
I stressed myself out it's fair. It's like that
perfect time of year where yougot we're kind of middle of the
season that he got right intokind of leaning into like the
colder months a little bit alittle nippy was in the in the
Halloween so it's kind of likeit's like that perfect blend
right now

Murph (52:06):
I'm sure a lot of people are like this is global warming
you should be freaking out but Ilove that I feel like in years
past we would right now be goingthrough spurts of heat and then
cold so I'd always get sick andright now we have just dropped
and it's been awesome it's justbeen drop jeans and hoodie
weather which is like myfavorite. So yeah, so just like
mid 60s low 60s Every day it'sbeen amazing a little bit sunny

(52:28):
sometimes rain which sucks but Iwould rather that then I feel
like in falls past October hasbeen like ridiculously warm and
things like that. Like I canremember even being kid trick or
treating being barely able towear my costumes. I'd be like
sweating out of that like it waslike in late through so it's
like now it's gotten like kindof cold in the night like
tonight is gonna be like 47 Likeit's old. Yeah, 47 degrees

(52:48):
Fahrenheit, which is like ohyeah, which I don't know it's
like maybe like 10 degreesCelsius or something like that.
So I'm gonna try to convert it Idon't know. Yeah, but I do
actually this will beinteresting so hockey started
preseason I do have a hot takefor you get your opinion to my
brother and his first preseasonhome game got the A on his
jersey. So assistant captain aYeah. So he sent us a picture.

(53:09):
We're all freaking out. And hesaid that he thinks it's going
to be the same thing. And Ithink we've talked about this in
podcasts that a past what hethinks is gonna be the same
thing this season that he's onlygoing to get it for away games
and not for home games. So Idon't know if they do this in
football. But what are yourthoughts of when they don't keep
the same assistant captain,depending on the venue, stupid,
I agree. It's like, I can'tbelieve how ridiculous it is.

(53:30):
It's like having a side check.
It's kind of like we like yourleadership and we want to give
you this but we don't want to doit in front of our fans. And
it's just like, that makes nosense to me. Like I just don't
understand. It's like eithershit or get off the pot. Like I
don't get it. And at the I guesswell, at the end of the day,
it's get off. Oh, yeah. But atthe end of the day, I guess it's
it's all about Jersey sales. Butit's just ridiculous to me where
it's just like it's make adecision like what's the point

(53:52):
is like football

Zac Saleski (53:55):
football does this where it's like you pick your
coaches have different like waysof doing it, but usually smart
ways like either one offense onedefense one special teams or
like, you know, to offense or todefense, special teams or
whatever. So I was like, kind ofhit or miss on that. But yeah, I
don't understand that.
Especially if you're trying tobuild like, you know, continuity
and trust and leadership, stufflike that. I don't understand

(54:15):
that. Like, oh, hey, we're in orin Edmonton,

Murph (54:20):
so yeah, well, it's just only on the road. So no matter
where they go on the road,

Zac Saleski (54:24):
nobody else wants it. It's the weirdest thing

Murph (54:27):
to me and I understand it's a privilege to be a
professional athlete and they'rejust happy to be there but I'd
be slightly being like why juston the road like why like, why
give it almost why give it to meat all, but I guess some people
would be like, I'd rather haveit than not I'm a little
different. I guess that it waskind of the same thing when I
was pitched the idea of playingtravel hockey or playing high
school hockey, like I could haveplayed at a lower level and been

(54:49):
a god at high school, but like Ididn't want that I want the best
competition. And I don't wantI'm not trying to boast but I'm
being real here high schoolhockey and some of them are
probably listening being likeLook, Utah there that's I
disagree. No, trust me when Isay this high school hockey in
Ohio, it's on his way, but it'snot there. Like he's just not
there. And when you played thetravel levels I played at like I

(55:10):
could have definitely dominatedin high school hockey, but I
didn't want to do that because Iwould rather have played at
higher levels and order my wayand and played against the best
and to do that, so it'd be thesame thing for this assistant
thing. I'd kind of be like,either get it all the time, or I
don't get it. Like I don't Idon't want this weird back and
forth. Like

Zac Saleski (55:27):
this point where it's like, he gets about four or
five years and he's like,Alright, give me this shit. Or,
you know, get the hell on myface. Yeah, he doesn't care like
what what status he's at and onthe team he's like, I'm gonna
I'm gonna get this shit put onmy jersey. I'm fucking around

Murph (55:40):
and while the goalie so we never got letters, but like,
and I believe in them some like,you got to see. We all Yeah,
well, I got a huge argumentabout once my coaches. They're
like, we want to give our goaliea letter. And I'm like, I
totally disagree with it. Andthey're like, why don't like
these goalies should benaturally leaders because they
see everything so they shouldcommunicate. They should chat.
And I think at the end of theday, that's what it is like,
that should do it. Theyshouldn't need that recognition.

(56:01):
I didn't get it. So does. Twoboys are really weird. So not
everyone on the team. Yeah, soit's like you kind of need that.
So I mean, whatever. If you wantto give it to goalie, that's
fine. But that's just mypersonal belief when I'm on a
team, but I only get one vote.
There's a lot of other coachesso they can decide but that's my
argument. But yeah, I was veryproud obviously. Yeah, obviously
I'm happy for my brother and hewants to do that. I will pack
them but dammit ChicagoBlackhawks just give it to them

(56:21):
for the home and away games. Idon't see why we want to play
these games right now. I don'tsee it here that Yeah, first
take calls in your court live orlead die. Exactly. Wow. Geez All
right. Go America.

Zac Saleski (56:34):
Give me the letter or give me death. Here we go.
