Speaker 1 (00:01):
We were cool on Christ. We were cool on Christ,
Dance all Days. Good morning, everybody, Welcome to my live stream.
We are way out east on Long Island. The weather people,
the weather people are saying, this is Canadian smoke. This
isn't regular haze. The haese is being caused by the
(00:23):
Canadian smoke. Hey, Canada, how about you come get your smoke.
We don't like it. You're ruining our last remaining beach
days before we bring the kids back to New York
City to get back to skew.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All you hear me? I hear you?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Good morning, Nick? How are you brother?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I started the show off with we were Cool on Christ.
I'm an eighties kid, bitches, I know that eighties music,
you know. And there was a little band called Wang Chong.
They had a song called Wang Chong Tonight. And they
also had a song called Dance all Days, Dance All Days.
And the one lyric I have recited over and over
(01:02):
again my entire life is we were cool on Christ.
And I'm here to say, brothers and sisters, that I
just learned no less than twenty minutes ago, right before
I turned this thing on, that the lyric is not
we were cool on Christ. I guess because the lead
(01:25):
singer of Wang Chung tonight, I guess he had a
bit of an accent, right, And the actual lyric is
we were cool on Craze. What No, man, it's we
were cool Christ anyhow. That's how I start today. Man,
(01:50):
you know, when you get a little older and and uh,
and all of a sudden you'll learn something that you
should have learned. I don't know how long ago did
that song come out? For years ago where you should
have known right out of the gate that they were
saying we were cool on Craze. I'm not the only one, right, right,
(02:10):
I'm not the only one with the misheard lyric on
that one. At least I don't do the hold me
Close Tony dans Uh. Some people actually think it's hold
me close, uh Tony Danza by the Elton johnn now right. No, No,
there's not people that actually think that, right. They don't
(02:31):
think that Richie rich Who de man? Who the man who?
The man who? The man who?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
De man? Who?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The man who? Uh man today? Wow? Who de man today?
Oh my god, am I gonna have to put whod
man on the side over here? Who the man who?
The man. Who the man? I think, who de man
goes to a group of people?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I got one. Actually, who de man today goes to
a group of people. They're the people that survive the
dropping of the bomb in Hiroshima. That group of people
that survived, I mean, they had to go through the
rest of their lives at a little a little sooty,
(03:11):
a little sooty, but they survived. And then they became advocates,
believe it or not, for peace. They're like, you know what,
you don't want any of this, So I'm gonna spend
the rest of my life, you know, telling people that
peace is the way to go. But it was eighty
years ago today that we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.
We dropped it, I don't know, something like what was it, ay,
(03:34):
fifteen hundred feet in the air, two thousand feet in
the air, something like that. They decided it would be
effective if we detonated above Hiroshima. And when they detonated
the bomb above Hiroshima immediately immediately, seventy to eighty thousand
people perished immediately. And then because you know that radiation's bitch,
(04:00):
and another seventy thousand people died because of that bomb.
So you know, that little bomb on Hiroshima just casually
wiped out one hundred and forty thousand people. Some people
say it was a war crime. We say we had
to do it to actually save lives. And you know what, man,
we now love Japan. Who doesn't love Japan. We all
(04:21):
want to go to Japan. We all wanted to visit Japan.
We love them. Come here, brother, we love you. Now.
Life is Life's a little weird, right, a little weird.
They were quite the enemy back in the day. But now, man,
we embraced the Japanese. We love the Japanese. Sushe give
me some Japanese sushi. All is forgiven. Let's hug it out.
(04:45):
But Richie, rich all the people that survived the bombing
of Hiroshima, and obviously the people that perished, they're the man.
They're the man today. It's for a group, because that's
the big news today. Oh my god, Well, maybe I
should have gave who demand to Howard Stern? What a
career this Howard Stern had? Huh. There's a huge rumor
(05:07):
that hit last night, and then people are backing off
a little bit, just a little bit. They're basically saying
that Serious XM is not gonna renew his one hundred
one Oh you're jealous. Yeah, I'm jealous. I'm jealous, as
the kids would say, af I'm jealous af of Howard Starn.
(05:28):
Of course I am. I might make ten dollars today
for my deck overlooking the fucking ocean. He makes one
hundred one hundred million dollars a year, and Serious XM
is basically saying, you know what, it's not worth it anymore,
so we're not gonna renew your contract. But now people
are backing off a little bit. It could be a
negotiation tactic, basically saying, you know what, Howard, how about
(05:50):
we give you twenty five million a year and you
could do one show a year. This Howard Stern. My god,
I'll tell you why. I think Howard's Stern hates doing radio?
What yes hates doing radio? I I still love it.
(06:11):
I talked to nobody. Uh, I don't make much money,
but I love, love, love turning on a camera, picking
up a microphone and just babbling to the people. Howard
Stern hates it. That's why year after year he's gotten
these cushy, cushy contracts and that's why the podcasters are
(06:31):
just room flying by him. He's an old man, he's antiquated.
He was a very very talented broadcaster. Of course he was.
Of course Howard Stern was a very talented broadcaster. To
sit here and say he wasn't as ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
(06:53):
But as the years went on, he's like, he goes
as serious, like, I'll do it. I guess I can.
I guess second to uh what was it? What did
start at? Like one hundred shows? I guess I think
I could do twenty five shows. He's actually off for
the summer. Who takes off from doing this? Holy you
(07:13):
know my setup is okay. I set it up in
ten minutes by myself, and next thing, you know, I'm
broadcasting to the world. And this guy can't turn on
something during the summer and give his fan base just
a little something something. It just proves he hates fucking
doing it. At this point, because this is the easiest
(07:34):
thing you could do, people are like, what are you
gonna retire open? I would say never, because I never
had a job. This is not a job. But uh,
you know, serious exam you know the it gal over
there is Andy Cohen. They love the Andy Cohen over there.
Howard Stern hates the fact that Serious exam loves the
Andy Cohen and they're basically looking at the finances and
(07:58):
basically they're saying, you know what, we can't afford one
hundred million a year anymore, Howard, Sorry, you don't work.
The podcasters are flying by you because they got the
passion and the energy to do this, and you're just
sitting in your in your seat with an antiquated show
at this point. But a lot of people have backed
(08:18):
off that initial report that you know, basically Serious is
firing him. We'll have to wait and see as the
the next few months go by, but that's that's a
big story as well, for sure. So Richie rich maybe
Howard Stern is dumb man today, maybe just maybe, but
I'll never understand it. I'm hey serious, hey, hey, hey, hey,
(08:41):
hey hey, I'll take ten million a year and I'll
give you fifty shows a year, Jesis. And then you
got to listen to Howard. Oh my god, I gotta
get up this. I had to get up this morning.
I basically live in my own Ritz Carlton. I had
(09:02):
to get up and go down to the State of
the Arts studio that serious ExM bought for me. Oh,
I have to do a few shows this week. Oh
my god, what am I gonna do? Oh? Beth, help me,
help me, Beth, I gotta work today.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yuck.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Andy vallin up there in Aubandy, how are you, sir?
What's up? Bill? We got the Sarah. What's up Sarah?
John Courtz good morning, Good morning to you, John, goodbody
to the squad as well. Absolutely, but yeah, it was
eighty years ago today the Hiroshima thing happened. We hated Japan,
we didn't like Germany. Now we love the Japan. Now
(09:43):
we love the German. A Wang Chong you like the
Wang Chung Master of Squirrels? Come on? Was was I
the only one that sang that song over and over again?
Thinking they were saying we were cool? On Christ? That
that makes sense?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I don't know what do you get to do? Child
of the eighties bitches? You're looking at one of them,
Thank you very much. Uh chunky style you won again?
Uh wait you won against Howard? Oh we sure did.
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
It just sucks that me and Anthony literally from the
jump didn't get along because we were so much better
than Howard. We pulled off year after year amazing shows
without even talking to each other. Off of Mike. I mean,
can you imagine if we actually were on the same page,
it got along. Oh my god. We kind of left
(10:48):
a lot of a lot of money on the table
we left. We left millions of dollars on the table. Millions, millions,
millions of dollars. What are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And I missed the weather updates. Somebody's dude, the weather
thing whatever hater's starting, the dumb weather thing. It's not working.
I live stream from an ocean, so of course I'm
going to do a quick weather thing to start every morning.
Of course I am whoever's like trying to push that
I do weather or something and that's all I do.
It's stupid. Okay, thank you, you know what. Let me
(11:24):
get rid of this guy, and I ban all people
that mentioned this weather thing that they're trying to push like.
I'm like, this is the only thing I do. Riptides
are ripping, you know what. Me and my son went
in the ocean late yesterday after a bike ride and
after throwing the frisbee around the beach. Very casual, lovely
(11:44):
summer afternoon. We went in that ocean, and you're not
lying for sixteen custom prints. This fucking ocean is going sideways.
We were only ten twelve maybe nah, we were probably
fifteen feet in. That's it. And you could feel that
this thing wanted to drag us sideways. And eventually, as
it drags you sideways, is gonna drag you out. So
(12:06):
you know, I tell my kids all the time, I uh,
I say, you gotta respect the ocean. I tell them
you gotta never turn your back on the ocean. And
I had to take my own advice yesterday. I like,
you know what, son, I don't call him son, I go,
you know what, We can't do this today. There'll be
another day we gotta get We gotta get out of
this thing because it is moving dramatically sideways. In other news,
(12:36):
the March of the Spiders Spiders from os what's your
favorite spider song? I know there's a little band called
uh spider Bait. Oh my god, have you ever heard
spider Bait doing Old Black Betty, Oh Black Betty Blam
and yad of blame blamb that song, Oh my god.
Spider Bait does a cover of Black Betty, that screw that.
(13:00):
Turn this off. You don't need to watch any more
of this. You should check that out. It's amazing. But
today starts the March of the spiders. They're calling us
a spider swarm. I think it's in in the southern
(13:21):
the southwest of America. The spiders are on the move
and people, you know, if you don't know what's going on,
you start panicking. You're like, oh my god, is this
war of the world? Is this an alien invasion? No,
it's just tarantulas. They spend most of their time underground, right,
and once a year they pop up, right, and then
(13:42):
they have all sorts of festivals and stuff because they
celebrate that the tarantulas are coming up from below the
ground to try to find a mate. Happens every year.
But if you're not ready for that, all of a sudden,
you're like, what the hell is going on? So that's
a big that's a big worry today as well. But
I got to cut all that off. I got other material,
(14:03):
but I gotta I gotta talk to my friend Chris
fish guy photos. Hey Chris, what's going on? Brother?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Aw's it going?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Do you know about the tarantula's right, the marks of
the tarantulas, and in the Southwest, in the Southwest.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This is the first I'm hearing about it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to fact
check you a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They come out of the ground and and if you
don't know about this, it's it's quite the sight. But
it turns out they they live most of their lives
underground and then once a year they pop up to
try to find a little little action, a little action.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Nothing around. That sounds reasonable, sounds about right, right.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But I got you on because, uh, you know, I'm
gonna tell you something, Chris. You over the years, you know,
we've been friends a while now, you you have given
me an appreciation for marine life in general. I always
like respected, you know, other other creatures living on this earth.
But you know your passion and how you talk about
(15:00):
and you've been very knowledgeable and you've taught me I
have more of an appreciate for appreciation for marine life.
So you know, if I see a seal on the beach,
I'm not gonna curb stop it. I'm gonna be I'm
gonna I'm gonna keep my distance. Maybe get a video.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You've definitely you've definitely grown.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, well I never did anything like that, but I,
uh but I give a shit. I even go to
the I even go to the releases when uh, you
know the uh they released the turtles and the seals
that they they nursed back to health. So when I
saw this video down there in Jersey, it drove me nuts.
I wasn't there, but I I I think I know
(15:39):
what happened because of you. Because of you. The fact
is we we have a lot of whales right off
the shore here on Long Island. I see them almost daily,
well maybe not daily, but a couple of times a week.
I will see a spray of a whale easily, and uh,
we've been on We've been on your boat and we
have seen whales and uh, you know, you're a marine biologist.
(16:01):
This is like your Christmas when you see a fucking whale,
but you're not You're not racing towards the whale to
get a closer look, because you understand that that would
not be a good thing to do.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
And I go ahead, Yeah, no, I mean they they
you know, they're they're big animals and they could definitely
take down a boat. They've done it before, you know,
so yeah, to get too close to them, you just
jeopardize your own safety.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And then let's not talk about the whale. You know,
it's got the whale safety too, but.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah, no, it's uh, it's definitely a safety of the boat.
I mean I said, they're huge, you know, and that
boat is nothing to them.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Right, So I I feel like, and if this isn't
the case, it's still a learning moment down there in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I could play the video for the for reference for
the people that haven't seen it yet. I would assume
most people have seen this video. But let's do it
really quick here and then we'll we'll talk about it
on the other side. But you got you got, you
got this boater, you got the mink whale. It's like
kind of trap between the boat and the bottom. It's
just trying to get free. It just wants to find
(17:10):
more bunker to eat. The boaters are panicking, They're thinking,
oh my god, is this well gonna eat us. It's
like no, it just wants to be free, and it
swims away and now it's a massive, massive story. And
then it turns out that the whale died because they
did an autopsy, and I guess the whale in general
was sick to begin with, But that doesn't take away
(17:31):
from the fact that it looks to me like that
boater was like, oh a whale, let's get a closer look.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Right, yeah, I mean I wasn't there, so I can't.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I can't say for sure, but you know, my experience
with minky whales is they are the one they don't
breach and jump like the humpbacks. So when you do
see them, and they're common around here, it's not like
it's an uncommon whale, but when you do see them,
it's pretty much you see their dorsal fin a blow
and they leave.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
They're gone.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
They're not there been pretty quick again, like they're not
putting on a show or anything. So generally when I
see one, it's it's a blinking an eye and they're like, oh,
there it is, and and it moves on, so you know,
but the fact that they hit it, that's, you know,
to me, see like you're not getting typically you're not
getting close to one of them. They're just they're moving
too fast. So you know, when I when I saw that,
(18:19):
I thought it was odd that it was a minky
whale that they that that was in that situation. You know,
if it was a humpback whale, hundred percent, I could
have seen that easily happen.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And so for me that was a little weird.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And then when I heard about the nee cropsy, which
is which is really just an autopsy, right, and they
said that it was sick, you know, all right, then
it made a little bit more sense. It was probably
in shallow well, it was definitely in shallow or water.
It probably wasn't swimming as fast, it probably wasn't acting
like it normally would. So yeah, they probably saw it
and tried to get closer to it, you know, just
like I see it every day. People like run up
(18:50):
on them and try to get really close because they
want to take a picture.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
With their iPhone, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
So right, so yeah, so I mean, again I wasn't there,
but you know, knowing what I know of those whales
and just general what I've seen with people in boats,
yeah it's probably the case.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They probably try to get in too close.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I guess it is important to say we don't know,
you know, maybe it was just one of those things
where the boat was mining its own business and because
this whale was sick, it was misguided, and then you know,
hit the hit the boat. But my knowledge is based
on we see the whales out here and you're like, oh,
look out, and you're trying to get video. You're just
(19:26):
trying to enjoy it because it's something you don't see
every day, and you see the boats racing towards it
from all directions. And I think I think the law
or the rule of thumb basically is you want to
stay at least one hundred yards away from the whales
if you see them in the ocean, right.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, you want to keep your distance. You know, you
don't want to come at them. You definitely don't want
to chase them, you know. And yeah, but you're right.
I see it all the time too. I'll be sitting
there fishing or or you know, observing a whale from
a distance, and there's usually a boat full of people
on the bow chasing up against it. It's just it's
just a matter of time before another one gets gets
like that. And like you said, they they definitely, you know,
(20:04):
get way too close.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Right exactly. And then my friend's stunt brain, he texted me,
he uh he was he was watching yesterday, he basically
said that this could have something to do with the
windmills that they're putting up in the dreaded the dreaded windmills.
(20:27):
I'm all for alternative energy, believe or not, I'm one
of those guys too, But now when it comes to
taking away taking away the beauty of the ocean or
taking the beauty away of these these mountaintops, dude, you drive,
I'll say it again, you drive from here to Western
New York. And I love my Western New York. I
got roots up there. I lived up there between College Rochester, Buffalo,
(20:50):
I don't know, close to twelve years. In general, I
love it up there. And now that ride every hill,
every high hill now has a fucking windmill.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I mean, look, I'm not a supporter of the wind
farms myself, you know, and I don't. I have my
own reasons for not liking and which I could talk about,
but it's it's I you know, there there has been
nothing proven showing that the wind farms themselves are are
killing the whales.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
The reason I personally don't like the wind farms. You know,
you're destroying habitat, you know, forever you know, you're gonna
put these big structures in the bottom, you know that. Yeah,
great blackfish, sea bass and things like that are gonna
be attracted to them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
They're great for that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
But what about the organisms that live there that don't
need structure, just like a sandy bottom or mud bottom.
So there's that, you know, they spin, they even far offshore.
They're hitting birds, they're hitting bats, they're hitting bugs, you know.
You know, things migrate over the ocean. I just I
personally feel there's there's better ways to get so called,
you know, clean energy, right.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So that's that's my own personal opinion, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
But you know, the whales, everyone's blaming the wind farms
because we're seeing an increase in you know, weal moretalities,
you know.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And again I work.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
With a lot of these people that do this stuff,
and most of the whales are coming up or hit
by boats, boat strikes, propeller marks, things like that, you know,
and people are always like, well, you know, it's it's quinci.
The other thing too, is, you know, there are way
more wells now than there were in the last you know,
one hundred years, right, so you have you have more
wales and more people. You know, we all buy crap
(22:24):
on Amazon. There's all this stuff coming through cargo ships.
I mean, yeah, I'm sure. I know you see cargo
ships in the distance going back and forth all day
where you are.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And you're all the way and you're all the way
out east.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
So you know, just imagine like in the city, right,
you know, more whales, more people, more in chants of
an inch of a strike. You know, it's the same thing.
Where are you going to hit a deer in New
York City? I know of because there's no deer in
New York City? Are you going to heat it? Hit
a deer out east by you? There's a way better
chance because there's a lot more deer, a lot, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So a lot of it is a numbers game. You know.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Again, I'm not a fan of the wind farms, but
I to see anything that one hundred percent proved it.
You know, there's a lot of false information out there too,
So you know a lot of people are like, oh,
the drilling messes up there. Echo location, We'll hump back whales,
Bayleen Whales, humpback whales, Mickey Wills fin wales.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
They don't use echo location, So that's not gonna scrow.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And if that was the case, why aren't we seeing
hundreds of dolphins wash up, Because as you know, there's
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dolphins around here. You know, again,
many of these whales that are washing up there hip
bite boats, you know, or they're emaciated, they're sick, they've
got parasites, you know, and people often forget things get
sick in the wild. It's not just people that get sick.
You know, things get sick, things die. It is a
(23:38):
natural occurrence. And again, if there are way more whales,
there's a more chance you're going to see one that
gets sick.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
It's just that's part of the same with seals. You know,
it's someone sees a seal on the beach and you
know it's all we got to rescue it right away. Well,
maybe that seal wasn't meant to be. Maybe that seal
is supposed to you know, maybe I know we've had
this conversation before.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You know, I stopped calling you for the people they
need to know when I first got this house. You know,
I was in New beat all this crap. Every time
I saw a seal, I'm calling Chris, Chris, you got
to get here immediately. And now I see the seals
that I haven't I haven't made those calls in a
few years. Now, I get it. I get it. A
lot of times they're just resting because you know, they're
(24:19):
this ocean could be exist with everything trying to eat you,
and then you know the crazy surf on top of it.
It gets a little tiring for some of these creatures.
And if you have the means to get the fuck
out of the ocean for a minute or two, you're
gonna take You're going to take that.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, And that's a lot of you know, a lot
of the rescue centers now when it comes to seals,
they you know, they when they're sick on the or
sick on a beach, you know, they they observe them
for a couple of days just because you know, again,
maybe they got maybe they're just resting. Maybe they do
have something that's making them sick, so they're just kind
of again resting to feel better. You know, if it's
something where they're like wrapped in fishing line or you know,
(24:55):
something that's obviously man made problem, of course they jump
out there and get it as quick as they can.
But yeah, you know, many times these animals are just
they're sick, just like people. Things get sick and then
you know, if that animal dies, that's that's food for
other stuff. You know, that's how the food chain and
natural cycle works.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
The problem we have here is if someone doesn't pick
up a seal, like a rescue center doesn't pick one up,
they get screened that yelled at death threats that they're
not it's crazy, that's you know, And so they end
up having to pick them up anyway, right, and they
pick them up and it cost them a lot of
money to feed them, and they just thought.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I thought you, I thought I thought you picked them
up to satisfy the Karen. And then you go down
the beach and just put it right back on the beach.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Well, some sometimes they but more times than not, if
they pick it up, they got to bring it back
and then they'll do a whole physical and then it
costs them money and they're not for profits. And that
person that Karen who called it in nine times out
of ten never says, you know what, let me make
a donation to help the work.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Very nice, So you know, it's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
But again, a lot of it is just, you know,
just a better understanding of stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
But you circle back about that again. I'm not a
fan of the wind farms.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm not a supporter, but I find there are many reasons,
legitimate reasons.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Uh, than you know, the whale thing.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I think the whale thing just has gotten picked up
and just taken as a as the flag to kind
of yeah, but there are a lot of legitimate reasons
for it.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, I get it. I just don't. It just looks
fucking ugly if you're into, if you're into just trying
to enjoy fucking nature. And I also want to say,
stunt brain, you we're wrong. I got an expert on
my live stream that knows a little more about the
wind farms and the whales than you, sir. Uh. Also
one last question, Chris, I was talking around the waiter
(26:46):
yesterday and he's from Massachusetts, so he's done a lot
of that whale watching, right and uh, he said that
he has actually smelled the whale after it it has blown.
But what is it?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
A blown blow?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
The blow after the blow? Thank you? After the blow?
Ron the waiters swears he has smelled what comes out
and he says, it's so bad that people were actually
puking on the whale watching boat. What do you know
about this? Have you ever smelled the blow?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So I hate admitting this, but he's he's right again
on that one. Yeah, the blow. I have smelt whales before.
I've seen whales just from that blow. If you get
in the right position. Uh, you gotta think they're big animals,
big lungs, eating nothing but greasy, oily fish. They're gonna
have bad breath, right, And uh yeah, so there was
(27:41):
I remember a few years back, I was guiding a
whale watch on a larger vessel and we were just anchored,
not anchor, but we're just sitting in one spot and
the whales were kind of all around us, and then
five of them went upwinds came up, took a breath,
and all went down and you could see the mists
coming at us and uh oh.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
No, as it hit us, it was it was brutal.
It was disgusting.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
It was one of the most putrid smells I've ever really.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, he's he's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And then the other thing we were I had a
friend who was we were I had him on the boat,
and we had a bunch of dolphins jumping the bow
with a boat. So he was hanging over the bow
with his camera and cell phone whatever, just taking video
and pictures, and they would as they'd come up, they'd
take a.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Breath and blow. And he said the same thing.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
But not only that, when he when they blew it
on his lens, it turned into like grease. You know,
his camera was just was messed up. He had to
clean it after that. So yeah, no, Run was definitely right. Again,
sorry to have to admit that, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You're driving my my people crazy. They what did it
smell like? Because you because you're a marine biologist, you've
smelled all sorts of crazy stuff in your in your time.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
It's just real fishy, oily stinky. It stinks. It really
really stinks. So yeah, you know, when I was listening yesterday,
you know he did the podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He you know, I heard him.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Start talking about the whale, and I heard you tell
about the whale. Then him told about being sick, and
I was about ready to call you and say, yeah,
Ron was right, the whale was sick. And then I
heard about the blow. I was like, yeah, he's right
about that. Also, he was, he was. He's surprisingly knowledgeable
about some stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, Ron uh Ron is well read for real, he
is well read and very prepared. Every time he comes on,
he's got stuff he needs to talk about, and and
you know he studies up on it a little bit. So, uh,
how's the pup.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
The pup is good. He's out for a walk right
now so I can't can't grab him. But now he's
getting big, he's he's he's doing good. He's doing good.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, Chris just got another poodle. That's awesome. Good for
you guys.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, No, he's doing he's doing real good. He's I
think he's what almost four months? I guess maybe a
little over four months.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Oh damn.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
All right, all right, I'll let you go nice and quick.
Today you got to come by and we got to
have some some my talk beer.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Is definitely and you know, speaking speaking of whales.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
This Thursday, I'm hosting another geek talk at Uber Geek
Brewing Company in Riverhead, and it's all about whales. I've
got well researchers from a group called Kresley and they've
been doing well watching off of Mantak for almost forty years.
So they've got some great pictures, great stories. No girl,
that's gonna talk. Marian McNamara, she's awesome, she gives shes
a lot of fun and she's got some amazing pictures.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
So that's this Thursday, Uber Geek, seven o'clock.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Hi, I highly recommend if you're in the area, you
go and check out Chris and you got a whole
stable of speakers. But we went to one about a
month ago. We loved it. The whole family went. We
enjoyed the hell out of it. Man, it was so
much fun.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
And we've got a new food truck this week that
does smoked ribs, like a bunch of smoked ribs and
mac and cheese and stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
So yeah, so it should be should be great, great talk.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And the beers aren't bad. The beers aren't bad, and.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
No good beers, good real good beer.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
And uh, I'm actually tonight, I'm speaking in your your
home neck of the woods. I'm speaking a Huntington tonight
for real. Yeah, speaking at the Huntington Library. Yeah, are
you gonna talk about the rats?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The rats?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Oh my god, it's a big story in Huntington. My my, Uh,
I mean technical technically, Huntington is not my hometown. I
always say it because people Huntington more than Centerport. Centreport
is literally down down the road from Huntington, so I
always I always just say Huntington. But uh, it's certainly
my neck of the woods. And the big story there
is the town is getting taken over by rats.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Not I've not heard that one, but I'm sure I'm
gonna get questioned about it tonight.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I'm sure because I'm.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Perent you will. And don't forget to tell the people
that the brown rat is not indigenous to America. They
came over on the on the on the ships. We
were not supposed to have rats in America. Well, at
least the brown rat, the main one. Yeah, the main
one that they say there's more rats in New York
(32:03):
City than people. If you could believe that, I don't
know if I believe that, I don't know where the
hell are they all.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
There's a lot of space underground.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah that's true too. All right, My friend Chris fish
guy photos on all the social media. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, man, we'll see you soon.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
You got there, He goes, there's Chris. He's got to
get to work, so all right, well we learned a
little something about the well man. I fair enough. I mean,
you know, fair enough. That's why you get the experts
on here to fill in the blank. So there you go.
I saw someone saying in here, let me, let me,
let me scroll back, let me scroll back to this person,
(32:42):
where are you? All right now? I don't see it.
It was a Howard Stern tay. You know what, I
if Howard Stern continues, if he retires, or if he
gets fired by serious except in the end that don't
give a shit. I don't give a shit. Am I
(33:02):
jealous of Howard Stern and the amount of money he's
making and the amount of people that he talks to
when he decides to do a show every once in
a while. Of course I am might be the first
to tell you that, of course, But my point is simple. Man.
You know, to turn on a live stream, talking to
a camera, have your friends on, it's the easiest thing
(33:24):
in the world. It's you know. I can't say it's
my favorite part of the day because I really enjoy
being with my kids and my wife, but it's right
the fuck up there, right up there, and this guy
does not like doing it. Anymore. It's obvious because because
he doesn't do a lot of shows, he takes the
whole summer off. And then he's jealous of all the
(33:45):
podcasters like Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn and the podcasts
that Serious XM have signed for ridiculous money. He's jealous
of all that. He's jealous of Andy Cohen, who's now
the it girl over there. He's jealous of all that.
And he could do something about that by just turning
(34:05):
on a camera and babbling from his rich Carlton. It
takes nothing to do this. You turn it on, I
talk forty minutes every morning. It's the easiest thing to
do in the world. But you know, the guy takes
the whole summer off and then he rah, hey, he's
(34:26):
a complainer. And it didn't help, by the way, oh
all right, I got to finish with this. It didn't
help that that Howard basically told his audience, Uh, you know,
if you support Trump, I don't want you listening to
my show anymore. That is the dumbest thing in the world.
You can have an opinion, an opinion about Trump. I'm
not a big fan of Trump. I started as a
(34:49):
big fan of Trump. I liked that it looked like
he was gonna really mix up everything in Washington, which
he's doing obviously. But as the years go on, I'm
kind of tired of the guy. I'm sick of the guy.
But I would never ever tell people that watch this
live stream if you like Trump, don't watch my shit.
It's the dumbest thing to do in America, because guess
(35:11):
what America has decided, Howard, that this is what they
want as leadership for now. I mean, you could push
back because that makes for fun radio, but to tell
your audience if you like Trump, don't listen to me
is the dumbest, stupidest thing you could do. It is ridiculous,
(35:33):
absolutely ridiculous. All right, Yeah he's a complainer, Yeah, don't
cut your Trump viewers. Man. You know, I my philosophy,
it goes all the way back, all the way back
when I first started, and I never understood this. There
(35:56):
are radio shows, I'll speak for radio. There were there
are radio shows to this day, and they got a
talking point, right, they got their political talking points and
and they basically want you to agree with their political
talking points. And I always thought, like, dah, mix it
all up. Man, mix it all up was the way
to go. Don't just talk to one side. I never
(36:22):
I never understood that. Never. Ope, the haircut looks good.
It looks all right, sure as I've had my hair
in years. Man.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, Man, the fucking hair on top is hanging in there, right,
it's hanging in there. I mean I have to move
a couple things around a little bit, a little bit,
but it's hanging in there. Master of Squirrels. Love this show.
Thank you, I appreciate it. We just have fun. Man,
turning this thing up. I think that's it. I do
(36:57):
have notes. That's why I'm looking down a little bit,
making sure and then you can see the top of
my head to see that I'm not losing my hair.
Another fucking lie. Let me see. Uh oh is spawning
in the room today. I'll end with this really really fast.
So you got a guy right, he worked security for
the Miami Heat. Oh, this is a huge story in sports.
(37:19):
This guy worked security for the Miami Heat when Lebron
especially was down there winning championships. What do they win
to with Lebron down there? When he joined a a
really good team, Like that's why you're not the goat Lebron.
Michael Jordan didn't wander around looking for championships. He stayed
in one place in one six and so to even
(37:41):
have the discussion that you're better than Michael Jordan is stupid.
You'll be known as the player that had insane longevity
in the sport. That's good enough, and you'll have all
the records because of your longevity. But I don't even
think you're in the top five all time, especially with
you chasing championships now. It's there's a rumor like he's
(38:03):
looking at the Lakers situation very closely to see what
they're going to do because he only has a few
years left that he wants to win another championship. That
means who will who? Who will?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Grab you?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
What team is ready for a championship so I could
jump on that team. Not impressive at all. And Bill
Russell's better than you two buy him a long shot,
and Bill Russell might be the greatest player of all time.
The problem is most of us never saw Bill Russell play.
That's the problem with this discussion. Year after year, there's
players that that were amazing, but we know nothing about
(38:38):
them unless you're searching out fucking clips on YouTube. But anyway,
you got a security guard in Miami. He worked for
the Miami Heat when they were winning championships, and so
he had full access. He was stealing shit. He was
stealing shit. He had so much memorabilia. He had game
(38:58):
warn jerseys, which are very valuable in that in that market.
And one of the jerseys he stole was Lebron James
jersey that he wore when he won the championship. And
you know, initially he stole the jersey and he sold
it to somebody for a hundred hundred thousand dollars, one
(39:24):
hundred thousand. And then somebody who had this jersey that
this security guard sold to him for one hundred thousand,
he turned around and sold it for three point nine
million dollars. And supposedly that wasn't the only thing he sold.
(39:47):
And then they went to his house where they finally
even figured out that, you know, a lot of this
shit was coming from this old security guard. They found
a boatload of stolen stuff at his house. And he's
a deep shit today. Uh. John Korns, Bill Russell on
eleven Championships, g O a T for a rail. All right,
(40:11):
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go hit the like on
the way out. I would appreciate it if you gave
me a few bucks. I saw you gave me a
few bucks, right, Yeah, a few of you gave me
a few bucks, Thank you very much. I'm just crushing
it with the super chats I made. I made six
dollars today. You're jealous, Yeah, I am jealous. I'm jealous
(40:31):
of Howard Start, of course i am. But he's he's
he's a dumb, dumb, dumb person. He doesn't understand why
everyone is passing him by all he has to do?
What else you doing? He takes the whole summer in
this new culture, right, in this new culture. I'm not
gonna lie to you. It's exhausting. If you don't keep
(40:53):
up with your social media, if you're not live streaming
every fucking day, if you're not putting clips up every
fucking day, these people meaning you for you forget about
uh the person immediately you got to constantly be feeding
the beast. And this guy takes the whole summer off.
And then he's wondering why Andy Cohen is the it
girl at Sirious Exam. Oh my goodness, all right, oh yeah,
(41:21):
let's have with this. We were cool on christ Come on, man,
I couldn't be the only one that thought that was
the lyric of that song. We were cool on christ
Dance all days? No, all right, it's we were cool
on Craze. I swear to you. I had no idea
(41:41):
until this morning. None, none, I I was. I was
just like, uh, I was like, uh, you know, scrolling
getting ready for this. I actually show prep now, I
believe or not, I hopefully have noticed that I am
now bringing actual material to these things instead of just
turning this on at babbling and I'm scrolling and I'm
doing show prep. I'm looking at the headline news and
(42:03):
this and that, and all of a sudden there's a guy.
He's awesome, by the way. I almost had him on
the fucking live stream and then I blew it. I
blew it. But he's a blind guy that used to
work for Sirius XM. He's a voice guy. He's got
an insane voice and does very well in that arena.
(42:26):
And he went blind. And he's a blind surfer. Could
you he's a blind surfer? Could you? Could you? There
are times I walk this beach every day right there
are times like I want to see how far I
could walk on the beach with my eyes closed? Anyone
else do this from time to time? And all of
(42:47):
a sudden, after ten feet I opened my eyes. I'm frightened.
And then I'm like, okay, idiot, look down the beach.
There's nothing in your way. Now close your eye eyes,
close your eyes, and see how far you could walk
down the beach without opening your eyes. Right that time,
(43:08):
I lasted twenty feet with that said this guy, he
went blind. He loves surfing. He's like, screw this, I'm
gonna continue. You're gonna continue surfing. So he surfs, and
uh so I was on his TikTok right, and he
was the one that turned me on to he goes.
I never knew that the lyric you know we were
(43:30):
cool on Christ from Dance Hold Days by Wang Chung
is actually we were cool on Craze. Oh my goodness,
close your eyes and walk into traffic. But but mister
Barnes and Nobes, oh Barnes and Nubes, But Barnes and Nubes,
(43:51):
I will get hurd I will I will be hurding.
You don't want me to do that, You really want
me to do that, I would be hurting, hurting. I
don't want to be heard a oh man, he better Jesus, dude,
you're funny, man bro, you don't have to give me
(44:11):
two dollars or these great lines. By the way, I
try not to beg for super chats, but I'm not
gonna lie. When I see a super chat, I get
a little excited. But with that said, Chris, Chris, how
do you say last name? Breets? You know I got
a little I might have a little you know, I
might have a little something something, maybe a little dyslexia.
(44:32):
Maybe I don't know. I was never tested, but I
would be a terrible teacher because I would get all
the names wrong. Chris Breets, I'll go with two dollars.
He better pray for a blind yark. That's how we end, Chris,
you get the ending today. Bravo, sir, bravo,
We were cool on Christ. We were cool on Christ,
Dance all Days. Good morning, everybody, Welcome to my live stream.
We are way out east on Long Island. The weather people,
the weather people are saying, this is Canadian smoke. This
isn't regular haze. The haese is being caused by the
(00:23):
Canadian smoke. Hey, Canada, how about you come get your smoke.
We don't like it. You're ruining our last remaining beach
days before we bring the kids back to New York
City to get back to skew.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All you hear me? I hear you?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Good morning, Nick? How are you brother?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I started the show off with we were Cool on Christ.
I'm an eighties kid, bitches, I know that eighties music,
you know. And there was a little band called Wang Chong.
They had a song called Wang Chong Tonight. And they
also had a song called Dance all Days, Dance All Days.
And the one lyric I have recited over and over
(01:02):
again my entire life is we were cool on Christ.
And I'm here to say, brothers and sisters, that I
just learned no less than twenty minutes ago, right before
I turned this thing on, that the lyric is not
we were cool on Christ. I guess because the lead
(01:25):
singer of Wang Chung tonight, I guess he had a
bit of an accent, right, And the actual lyric is
we were cool on Craze. What No, man, it's we
were cool Christ anyhow. That's how I start today. Man,
(01:50):
you know, when you get a little older and and uh,
and all of a sudden you'll learn something that you
should have learned. I don't know how long ago did
that song come out? For years ago where you should
have known right out of the gate that they were
saying we were cool on Craze. I'm not the only one, right, right,
(02:10):
I'm not the only one with the misheard lyric on
that one. At least I don't do the hold me
Close Tony dans Uh. Some people actually think it's hold
me close, uh Tony Danza by the Elton johnn now right. No, No,
there's not people that actually think that, right. They don't
(02:31):
think that Richie rich Who de man? Who the man who?
The man who? The man who?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
De man? Who?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The man who? Uh man today? Wow? Who de man today?
Oh my god, am I gonna have to put whod
man on the side over here? Who the man who?
The man. Who the man? I think, who de man
goes to a group of people?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I got one. Actually, who de man today goes to
a group of people. They're the people that survive the
dropping of the bomb in Hiroshima. That group of people
that survived, I mean, they had to go through the
rest of their lives at a little a little sooty,
(03:11):
a little sooty, but they survived. And then they became advocates,
believe it or not, for peace. They're like, you know what,
you don't want any of this, So I'm gonna spend
the rest of my life, you know, telling people that
peace is the way to go. But it was eighty
years ago today that we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.
We dropped it, I don't know, something like what was it, ay,
(03:34):
fifteen hundred feet in the air, two thousand feet in
the air, something like that. They decided it would be
effective if we detonated above Hiroshima. And when they detonated
the bomb above Hiroshima immediately immediately, seventy to eighty thousand
people perished immediately. And then because you know that radiation's bitch,
(04:00):
and another seventy thousand people died because of that bomb.
So you know, that little bomb on Hiroshima just casually
wiped out one hundred and forty thousand people. Some people
say it was a war crime. We say we had
to do it to actually save lives. And you know what, man,
we now love Japan. Who doesn't love Japan. We all
(04:21):
want to go to Japan. We all wanted to visit Japan.
We love them. Come here, brother, we love you. Now.
Life is Life's a little weird, right, a little weird.
They were quite the enemy back in the day. But now, man,
we embraced the Japanese. We love the Japanese. Sushe give
me some Japanese sushi. All is forgiven. Let's hug it out.
(04:45):
But Richie, rich all the people that survived the bombing
of Hiroshima, and obviously the people that perished, they're the man.
They're the man today. It's for a group, because that's
the big news today. Oh my god, Well, maybe I
should have gave who demand to Howard Stern? What a
career this Howard Stern had? Huh. There's a huge rumor
(05:07):
that hit last night, and then people are backing off
a little bit, just a little bit. They're basically saying
that Serious XM is not gonna renew his one hundred
one Oh you're jealous. Yeah, I'm jealous. I'm jealous, as
the kids would say, af I'm jealous af of Howard Starn.
(05:28):
Of course I am. I might make ten dollars today
for my deck overlooking the fucking ocean. He makes one
hundred one hundred million dollars a year, and Serious XM
is basically saying, you know what, it's not worth it anymore,
so we're not gonna renew your contract. But now people
are backing off a little bit. It could be a
negotiation tactic, basically saying, you know what, Howard, how about
(05:50):
we give you twenty five million a year and you
could do one show a year. This Howard Stern. My god,
I'll tell you why. I think Howard's Stern hates doing radio?
What yes hates doing radio? I I still love it.
(06:11):
I talked to nobody. Uh, I don't make much money,
but I love, love, love turning on a camera, picking
up a microphone and just babbling to the people. Howard
Stern hates it. That's why year after year he's gotten
these cushy, cushy contracts and that's why the podcasters are
(06:31):
just room flying by him. He's an old man, he's antiquated.
He was a very very talented broadcaster. Of course he was.
Of course Howard Stern was a very talented broadcaster. To
sit here and say he wasn't as ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
(06:53):
But as the years went on, he's like, he goes
as serious, like, I'll do it. I guess I can.
I guess second to uh what was it? What did
start at? Like one hundred shows? I guess I think
I could do twenty five shows. He's actually off for
the summer. Who takes off from doing this? Holy you
(07:13):
know my setup is okay. I set it up in
ten minutes by myself, and next thing, you know, I'm
broadcasting to the world. And this guy can't turn on
something during the summer and give his fan base just
a little something something. It just proves he hates fucking
doing it. At this point, because this is the easiest
(07:34):
thing you could do, people are like, what are you
gonna retire open? I would say never, because I never
had a job. This is not a job. But uh,
you know, serious exam you know the it gal over
there is Andy Cohen. They love the Andy Cohen over there.
Howard Stern hates the fact that Serious exam loves the
Andy Cohen and they're basically looking at the finances and
(07:58):
basically they're saying, you know what, we can't afford one
hundred million a year anymore, Howard, Sorry, you don't work.
The podcasters are flying by you because they got the
passion and the energy to do this, and you're just
sitting in your in your seat with an antiquated show
at this point. But a lot of people have backed
(08:18):
off that initial report that you know, basically Serious is
firing him. We'll have to wait and see as the
the next few months go by, but that's that's a
big story as well, for sure. So Richie rich maybe
Howard Stern is dumb man today, maybe just maybe, but
I'll never understand it. I'm hey serious, hey, hey, hey, hey,
(08:41):
hey hey, I'll take ten million a year and I'll
give you fifty shows a year, Jesis. And then you
got to listen to Howard. Oh my god, I gotta
get up this. I had to get up this morning.
I basically live in my own Ritz Carlton. I had
(09:02):
to get up and go down to the State of
the Arts studio that serious ExM bought for me. Oh,
I have to do a few shows this week. Oh
my god, what am I gonna do? Oh? Beth, help me,
help me, Beth, I gotta work today.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yuck.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Andy vallin up there in Aubandy, how are you, sir?
What's up? Bill? We got the Sarah. What's up Sarah?
John Courtz good morning, Good morning to you, John, goodbody
to the squad as well. Absolutely, but yeah, it was
eighty years ago today the Hiroshima thing happened. We hated Japan,
we didn't like Germany. Now we love the Japan. Now
(09:43):
we love the German. A Wang Chong you like the
Wang Chung Master of Squirrels? Come on? Was was I
the only one that sang that song over and over again?
Thinking they were saying we were cool? On Christ? That
that makes sense?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I don't know what do you get to do? Child
of the eighties bitches? You're looking at one of them,
Thank you very much. Uh chunky style you won again?
Uh wait you won against Howard? Oh we sure did.
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
It just sucks that me and Anthony literally from the
jump didn't get along because we were so much better
than Howard. We pulled off year after year amazing shows
without even talking to each other. Off of Mike. I mean,
can you imagine if we actually were on the same page,
it got along. Oh my god. We kind of left
(10:48):
a lot of a lot of money on the table
we left. We left millions of dollars on the table. Millions, millions,
millions of dollars. What are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And I missed the weather updates. Somebody's dude, the weather
thing whatever hater's starting, the dumb weather thing. It's not working.
I live stream from an ocean, so of course I'm
going to do a quick weather thing to start every morning.
Of course I am whoever's like trying to push that
I do weather or something and that's all I do.
It's stupid. Okay, thank you, you know what. Let me
(11:24):
get rid of this guy, and I ban all people
that mentioned this weather thing that they're trying to push like.
I'm like, this is the only thing I do. Riptides
are ripping, you know what. Me and my son went
in the ocean late yesterday after a bike ride and
after throwing the frisbee around the beach. Very casual, lovely
(11:44):
summer afternoon. We went in that ocean, and you're not
lying for sixteen custom prints. This fucking ocean is going sideways.
We were only ten twelve maybe nah, we were probably
fifteen feet in. That's it. And you could feel that
this thing wanted to drag us sideways. And eventually, as
it drags you sideways, is gonna drag you out. So
(12:06):
you know, I tell my kids all the time, I uh,
I say, you gotta respect the ocean. I tell them
you gotta never turn your back on the ocean. And
I had to take my own advice yesterday. I like,
you know what, son, I don't call him son, I go,
you know what, We can't do this today. There'll be
another day we gotta get We gotta get out of
this thing because it is moving dramatically sideways. In other news,
(12:36):
the March of the Spiders Spiders from os what's your
favorite spider song? I know there's a little band called
uh spider Bait. Oh my god, have you ever heard
spider Bait doing Old Black Betty, Oh Black Betty Blam
and yad of blame blamb that song, Oh my god.
Spider Bait does a cover of Black Betty, that screw that.
(13:00):
Turn this off. You don't need to watch any more
of this. You should check that out. It's amazing. But
today starts the March of the spiders. They're calling us
a spider swarm. I think it's in in the southern
(13:21):
the southwest of America. The spiders are on the move
and people, you know, if you don't know what's going on,
you start panicking. You're like, oh my god, is this
war of the world? Is this an alien invasion? No,
it's just tarantulas. They spend most of their time underground, right,
and once a year they pop up, right, and then
(13:42):
they have all sorts of festivals and stuff because they
celebrate that the tarantulas are coming up from below the
ground to try to find a mate. Happens every year.
But if you're not ready for that, all of a sudden,
you're like, what the hell is going on? So that's
a big that's a big worry today as well. But
I got to cut all that off. I got other material,
(14:03):
but I gotta I gotta talk to my friend Chris
fish guy photos. Hey Chris, what's going on? Brother?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Aw's it going?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Do you know about the tarantula's right, the marks of
the tarantulas, and in the Southwest, in the Southwest.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This is the first I'm hearing about it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to fact
check you a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They come out of the ground and and if you
don't know about this, it's it's quite the sight. But
it turns out they they live most of their lives
underground and then once a year they pop up to
try to find a little little action, a little action.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Nothing around. That sounds reasonable, sounds about right, right.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But I got you on because, uh, you know, I'm
gonna tell you something, Chris. You over the years, you know,
we've been friends a while now, you you have given
me an appreciation for marine life in general. I always
like respected, you know, other other creatures living on this earth.
But you know your passion and how you talk about
(15:00):
and you've been very knowledgeable and you've taught me I
have more of an appreciate for appreciation for marine life.
So you know, if I see a seal on the beach,
I'm not gonna curb stop it. I'm gonna be I'm
gonna I'm gonna keep my distance. Maybe get a video.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You've definitely you've definitely grown.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, well I never did anything like that, but I,
uh but I give a shit. I even go to
the I even go to the releases when uh, you
know the uh they released the turtles and the seals
that they they nursed back to health. So when I
saw this video down there in Jersey, it drove me nuts.
I wasn't there, but I I I think I know
(15:39):
what happened because of you. Because of you. The fact
is we we have a lot of whales right off
the shore here on Long Island. I see them almost daily,
well maybe not daily, but a couple of times a week.
I will see a spray of a whale easily, and uh,
we've been on We've been on your boat and we
have seen whales and uh, you know, you're a marine biologist.
(16:01):
This is like your Christmas when you see a fucking whale,
but you're not You're not racing towards the whale to
get a closer look, because you understand that that would
not be a good thing to do.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
And I go ahead, Yeah, no, I mean they they
you know, they're they're big animals and they could definitely
take down a boat. They've done it before, you know,
so yeah, to get too close to them, you just
jeopardize your own safety.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And then let's not talk about the whale. You know,
it's got the whale safety too, but.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah, no, it's uh, it's definitely a safety of the boat.
I mean I said, they're huge, you know, and that
boat is nothing to them.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Right, So I I feel like, and if this isn't
the case, it's still a learning moment down there in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I could play the video for the for reference for
the people that haven't seen it yet. I would assume
most people have seen this video. But let's do it
really quick here and then we'll we'll talk about it
on the other side. But you got you got, you
got this boater, you got the mink whale. It's like
kind of trap between the boat and the bottom. It's
just trying to get free. It just wants to find
(17:10):
more bunker to eat. The boaters are panicking, They're thinking,
oh my god, is this well gonna eat us. It's
like no, it just wants to be free, and it
swims away and now it's a massive, massive story. And
then it turns out that the whale died because they
did an autopsy, and I guess the whale in general
was sick to begin with, But that doesn't take away
(17:31):
from the fact that it looks to me like that
boater was like, oh a whale, let's get a closer look.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Right, yeah, I mean I wasn't there, so I can't.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I can't say for sure, but you know, my experience
with minky whales is they are the one they don't
breach and jump like the humpbacks. So when you do
see them, and they're common around here, it's not like
it's an uncommon whale, but when you do see them,
it's pretty much you see their dorsal fin a blow
and they leave.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
They're gone.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
They're not there been pretty quick again, like they're not
putting on a show or anything. So generally when I
see one, it's it's a blinking an eye and they're like, oh,
there it is, and and it moves on, so you know,
but the fact that they hit it, that's, you know,
to me, see like you're not getting typically you're not
getting close to one of them. They're just they're moving
too fast. So you know, when I when I saw that,
(18:19):
I thought it was odd that it was a minky
whale that they that that was in that situation. You know,
if it was a humpback whale, hundred percent, I could
have seen that easily happen.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And so for me that was a little weird.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And then when I heard about the nee cropsy, which
is which is really just an autopsy, right, and they
said that it was sick, you know, all right, then
it made a little bit more sense. It was probably
in shallow well, it was definitely in shallow or water.
It probably wasn't swimming as fast, it probably wasn't acting
like it normally would. So yeah, they probably saw it
and tried to get closer to it, you know, just
like I see it every day. People like run up
(18:50):
on them and try to get really close because they
want to take a picture.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
With their iPhone, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
So right, so yeah, so I mean, again I wasn't there,
but you know, knowing what I know of those whales
and just general what I've seen with people in boats,
yeah it's probably the case.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They probably try to get in too close.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I guess it is important to say we don't know,
you know, maybe it was just one of those things
where the boat was mining its own business and because
this whale was sick, it was misguided, and then you know,
hit the hit the boat. But my knowledge is based
on we see the whales out here and you're like, oh,
look out, and you're trying to get video. You're just
(19:26):
trying to enjoy it because it's something you don't see
every day, and you see the boats racing towards it
from all directions. And I think I think the law
or the rule of thumb basically is you want to
stay at least one hundred yards away from the whales
if you see them in the ocean, right.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, you want to keep your distance. You know, you
don't want to come at them. You definitely don't want
to chase them, you know. And yeah, but you're right.
I see it all the time too. I'll be sitting
there fishing or or you know, observing a whale from
a distance, and there's usually a boat full of people
on the bow chasing up against it. It's just it's
just a matter of time before another one gets gets
like that. And like you said, they they definitely, you know,
(20:04):
get way too close.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Right exactly. And then my friend's stunt brain, he texted me,
he uh he was he was watching yesterday, he basically
said that this could have something to do with the
windmills that they're putting up in the dreaded the dreaded windmills.
(20:27):
I'm all for alternative energy, believe or not, I'm one
of those guys too, But now when it comes to
taking away taking away the beauty of the ocean or
taking the beauty away of these these mountaintops, dude, you drive,
I'll say it again, you drive from here to Western
New York. And I love my Western New York. I
got roots up there. I lived up there between College Rochester, Buffalo,
(20:50):
I don't know, close to twelve years. In general, I
love it up there. And now that ride every hill,
every high hill now has a fucking windmill.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I mean, look, I'm not a supporter of the wind
farms myself, you know, and I don't. I have my
own reasons for not liking and which I could talk about,
but it's it's I you know, there there has been
nothing proven showing that the wind farms themselves are are
killing the whales.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
The reason I personally don't like the wind farms. You know,
you're destroying habitat, you know, forever you know, you're gonna
put these big structures in the bottom, you know that. Yeah,
great blackfish, sea bass and things like that are gonna
be attracted to them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
They're great for that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
But what about the organisms that live there that don't
need structure, just like a sandy bottom or mud bottom.
So there's that, you know, they spin, they even far offshore.
They're hitting birds, they're hitting bats, they're hitting bugs, you know.
You know, things migrate over the ocean. I just I
personally feel there's there's better ways to get so called,
you know, clean energy, right.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
So that's that's my own personal opinion, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
But you know, the whales, everyone's blaming the wind farms
because we're seeing an increase in you know, weal moretalities,
you know.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And again I work.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
With a lot of these people that do this stuff,
and most of the whales are coming up or hit
by boats, boat strikes, propeller marks, things like that, you know,
and people are always like, well, you know, it's it's quinci.
The other thing too, is, you know, there are way
more wells now than there were in the last you know,
one hundred years, right, so you have you have more
wales and more people. You know, we all buy crap
(22:24):
on Amazon. There's all this stuff coming through cargo ships.
I mean, yeah, I'm sure. I know you see cargo
ships in the distance going back and forth all day
where you are.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And you're all the way and you're all the way
out east.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
So you know, just imagine like in the city, right,
you know, more whales, more people, more in chants of
an inch of a strike. You know, it's the same thing.
Where are you going to hit a deer in New
York City? I know of because there's no deer in
New York City? Are you going to heat it? Hit
a deer out east by you? There's a way better
chance because there's a lot more deer, a lot, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So a lot of it is a numbers game. You know.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Again, I'm not a fan of the wind farms, but
I to see anything that one hundred percent proved it.
You know, there's a lot of false information out there too,
So you know a lot of people are like, oh,
the drilling messes up there. Echo location, We'll hump back whales,
Bayleen Whales, humpback whales, Mickey Wills fin wales.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
They don't use echo location, So that's not gonna scrow.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And if that was the case, why aren't we seeing
hundreds of dolphins wash up, Because as you know, there's
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dolphins around here. You know, again,
many of these whales that are washing up there hip
bite boats, you know, or they're emaciated, they're sick, they've
got parasites, you know, and people often forget things get
sick in the wild. It's not just people that get sick.
You know, things get sick, things die. It is a
(23:38):
natural occurrence. And again, if there are way more whales,
there's a more chance you're going to see one that
gets sick.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
It's just that's part of the same with seals. You know,
it's someone sees a seal on the beach and you
know it's all we got to rescue it right away. Well,
maybe that seal wasn't meant to be. Maybe that seal
is supposed to you know, maybe I know we've had
this conversation before.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You know, I stopped calling you for the people they
need to know when I first got this house. You know,
I was in New beat all this crap. Every time
I saw a seal, I'm calling Chris, Chris, you got
to get here immediately. And now I see the seals
that I haven't I haven't made those calls in a
few years. Now, I get it. I get it. A
lot of times they're just resting because you know, they're
(24:19):
this ocean could be exist with everything trying to eat you,
and then you know the crazy surf on top of it.
It gets a little tiring for some of these creatures.
And if you have the means to get the fuck
out of the ocean for a minute or two, you're
gonna take You're going to take that.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, And that's a lot of you know, a lot
of the rescue centers now when it comes to seals,
they you know, they when they're sick on the or
sick on a beach, you know, they they observe them
for a couple of days just because you know, again,
maybe they got maybe they're just resting. Maybe they do
have something that's making them sick, so they're just kind
of again resting to feel better. You know, if it's
something where they're like wrapped in fishing line or you know,
(24:55):
something that's obviously man made problem, of course they jump
out there and get it as quick as they can.
But yeah, you know, many times these animals are just
they're sick, just like people. Things get sick and then
you know, if that animal dies, that's that's food for
other stuff. You know, that's how the food chain and
natural cycle works.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
The problem we have here is if someone doesn't pick
up a seal, like a rescue center doesn't pick one up,
they get screened that yelled at death threats that they're
not it's crazy, that's you know, And so they end
up having to pick them up anyway, right, and they
pick them up and it cost them a lot of
money to feed them, and they just thought.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I thought you, I thought I thought you picked them
up to satisfy the Karen. And then you go down
the beach and just put it right back on the beach.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Well, some sometimes they but more times than not, if
they pick it up, they got to bring it back
and then they'll do a whole physical and then it
costs them money and they're not for profits. And that
person that Karen who called it in nine times out
of ten never says, you know what, let me make
a donation to help the work.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Very nice, So you know, it's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
But again, a lot of it is just, you know,
just a better understanding of stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
But you circle back about that again. I'm not a
fan of the wind farms.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm not a supporter, but I find there are many reasons,
legitimate reasons.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Uh, than you know, the whale thing.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I think the whale thing just has gotten picked up
and just taken as a as the flag to kind
of yeah, but there are a lot of legitimate reasons
for it.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, I get it. I just don't. It just looks
fucking ugly if you're into, if you're into just trying
to enjoy fucking nature. And I also want to say,
stunt brain, you we're wrong. I got an expert on
my live stream that knows a little more about the
wind farms and the whales than you, sir. Uh. Also
one last question, Chris, I was talking around the waiter
(26:46):
yesterday and he's from Massachusetts, so he's done a lot
of that whale watching, right and uh, he said that
he has actually smelled the whale after it it has blown.
But what is it?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
A blown blow?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
The blow after the blow? Thank you? After the blow?
Ron the waiters swears he has smelled what comes out
and he says, it's so bad that people were actually
puking on the whale watching boat. What do you know
about this? Have you ever smelled the blow?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So I hate admitting this, but he's he's right again
on that one. Yeah, the blow. I have smelt whales before.
I've seen whales just from that blow. If you get
in the right position. Uh, you gotta think they're big animals,
big lungs, eating nothing but greasy, oily fish. They're gonna
have bad breath, right, And uh yeah, so there was
(27:41):
I remember a few years back, I was guiding a
whale watch on a larger vessel and we were just anchored,
not anchor, but we're just sitting in one spot and
the whales were kind of all around us, and then
five of them went upwinds came up, took a breath,
and all went down and you could see the mists
coming at us and uh oh.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
No, as it hit us, it was it was brutal.
It was disgusting.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
It was one of the most putrid smells I've ever really.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, he's he's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And then the other thing we were I had a
friend who was we were I had him on the boat,
and we had a bunch of dolphins jumping the bow
with a boat. So he was hanging over the bow
with his camera and cell phone whatever, just taking video
and pictures, and they would as they'd come up, they'd
take a.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Breath and blow. And he said the same thing.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
But not only that, when he when they blew it
on his lens, it turned into like grease. You know,
his camera was just was messed up. He had to
clean it after that. So yeah, no, Run was definitely right. Again,
sorry to have to admit that, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You're driving my my people crazy. They what did it
smell like? Because you because you're a marine biologist, you've
smelled all sorts of crazy stuff in your in your time.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
It's just real fishy, oily stinky. It stinks. It really
really stinks. So yeah, you know, when I was listening yesterday,
you know he did the podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He you know, I heard him.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Start talking about the whale, and I heard you tell
about the whale. Then him told about being sick, and
I was about ready to call you and say, yeah,
Ron was right, the whale was sick. And then I
heard about the blow. I was like, yeah, he's right
about that. Also, he was, he was. He's surprisingly knowledgeable
about some stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, Ron uh Ron is well read for real, he
is well read and very prepared. Every time he comes on,
he's got stuff he needs to talk about, and and
you know he studies up on it a little bit. So, uh,
how's the pup.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
The pup is good. He's out for a walk right
now so I can't can't grab him. But now he's
getting big, he's he's he's doing good. He's doing good.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, Chris just got another poodle. That's awesome. Good for
you guys.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, No, he's doing he's doing real good. He's I
think he's what almost four months? I guess maybe a
little over four months.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Oh damn.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
All right, all right, I'll let you go nice and quick.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Hi, I highly recommend if you're in the area, you

stable of speakers. But we went to one about a
month ago. We loved it. The whole family went. We
enjoyed the hell out of it. Man, it was so
much fun.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
And we've got a new food truck this week that

Speaker 2 (30:52):
So yeah, so it should be should be great, great talk.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
No good beers, good real good beer.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
And uh, I'm actually tonight, I'm speaking in your your
home neck of the woods. I'm speaking a Huntington tonight
for real. Yeah, speaking at the Huntington Library. Yeah, are
you gonna talk about the rats?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The rats?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Oh my god, it's a big story in Huntington. My my, Uh,
I mean technical technically, Huntington is not my hometown. I
always say it because people Huntington more than Centerport. Centreport
is literally down down the road from Huntington, so I
always I always just say Huntington. But uh, it's certainly
my neck of the woods. And the big story there
is the town is getting taken over by rats.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Not I've not heard that one, but I'm sure I'm
gonna get questioned about it tonight.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I'm sure because I'm.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Perent you will. And don't forget to tell the people
that the brown rat is not indigenous to America. They
came over on the on the on the ships. We
were not supposed to have rats in America. Well, at
least the brown rat, the main one. Yeah, the main
one that they say there's more rats in New York
(32:03):
City than people. If you could believe that, I don't
know if I believe that, I don't know where the
hell are they all.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
There's a lot of space underground.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah that's true too. All right, My friend Chris fish
guy photos on all the social media. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, man, we'll see you soon.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
You got there, He goes, there's Chris. He's got to
get to work, so all right, well we learned a
little something about the well man. I fair enough. I mean,
you know, fair enough. That's why you get the experts
on here to fill in the blank. So there you go.
I saw someone saying in here, let me, let me,
let me scroll back, let me scroll back to this person,
(32:42):
where are you? All right now? I don't see it.
It was a Howard Stern tay. You know what, I
if Howard Stern continues, if he retires, or if he
gets fired by serious except in the end that don't
give a shit. I don't give a shit. Am I
(33:02):
jealous of Howard Stern and the amount of money he's
making and the amount of people that he talks to
when he decides to do a show every once in
a while. Of course I am might be the first
to tell you that, of course, But my point is simple. Man.
You know, to turn on a live stream, talking to
a camera, have your friends on, it's the easiest thing
(33:24):
in the world. It's you know. I can't say it's
my favorite part of the day because I really enjoy
being with my kids and my wife, but it's right
the fuck up there, right up there, and this guy
does not like doing it. Anymore. It's obvious because because
he doesn't do a lot of shows, he takes the
whole summer off. And then he's jealous of all the
(33:45):
podcasters like Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn and the podcasts
that Serious XM have signed for ridiculous money. He's jealous
of all that. He's jealous of Andy Cohen, who's now
the it girl over there. He's jealous of all that.
And he could do something about that by just turning
(34:05):
on a camera and babbling from his rich Carlton. It
takes nothing to do this. You turn it on, I
talk forty minutes every morning. It's the easiest thing to
do in the world. But you know, the guy takes
the whole summer off and then he rah, hey, he's
(34:26):
a complainer. And it didn't help, by the way, oh
all right, I got to finish with this. It didn't
help that that Howard basically told his audience, Uh, you know,
if you support Trump, I don't want you listening to
my show anymore. That is the dumbest thing in the world.
You can have an opinion, an opinion about Trump. I'm
not a big fan of Trump. I started as a
(34:49):
big fan of Trump. I liked that it looked like
he was gonna really mix up everything in Washington, which
he's doing obviously. But as the years go on, I'm
kind of tired of the guy. I'm sick of the guy.
But I would never ever tell people that watch this
live stream if you like Trump, don't watch my shit.
It's the dumbest thing to do in America, because guess
(35:11):
what America has decided, Howard, that this is what they
want as leadership for now. I mean, you could push
back because that makes for fun radio, but to tell
your audience if you like Trump, don't listen to me
is the dumbest, stupidest thing you could do. It is ridiculous,
(35:33):
absolutely ridiculous. All right, Yeah he's a complainer, Yeah, don't
cut your Trump viewers. Man. You know, I my philosophy,
it goes all the way back, all the way back
when I first started, and I never understood this. There
(35:56):
are radio shows, I'll speak for radio. There were there
are radio shows to this day, and they got a
talking point, right, they got their political talking points and
and they basically want you to agree with their political
talking points. And I always thought, like, dah, mix it
all up. Man, mix it all up was the way
to go. Don't just talk to one side. I never
(36:22):
I never understood that. Never. Ope, the haircut looks good.
It looks all right, sure as I've had my hair
in years. Man.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, Man, the fucking hair on top is hanging in there, right,
it's hanging in there. I mean I have to move
a couple things around a little bit, a little bit,
but it's hanging in there. Master of Squirrels. Love this show.
Thank you, I appreciate it. We just have fun. Man,
turning this thing up. I think that's it. I do
(36:57):
have notes. That's why I'm looking down a little bit,
making sure and then you can see the top of
my head to see that I'm not losing my hair.
Another fucking lie. Let me see. Uh oh is spawning
in the room today. I'll end with this really really fast.
So you got a guy right, he worked security for
the Miami Heat. Oh, this is a huge story in sports.
(37:19):
This guy worked security for the Miami Heat when Lebron
especially was down there winning championships. What do they win
to with Lebron down there? When he joined a a
really good team, Like that's why you're not the goat Lebron.
Michael Jordan didn't wander around looking for championships. He stayed
in one place in one six and so to even
(37:41):
have the discussion that you're better than Michael Jordan is stupid.
You'll be known as the player that had insane longevity
in the sport. That's good enough, and you'll have all
the records because of your longevity. But I don't even
think you're in the top five all time, especially with
you chasing championships now. It's there's a rumor like he's
(38:03):
looking at the Lakers situation very closely to see what
they're going to do because he only has a few
years left that he wants to win another championship. That
means who will who? Who will?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Grab you?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
What team is ready for a championship so I could
jump on that team. Not impressive at all. And Bill
Russell's better than you two buy him a long shot,
and Bill Russell might be the greatest player of all time.
The problem is most of us never saw Bill Russell play.
That's the problem with this discussion. Year after year, there's
players that that were amazing, but we know nothing about
(38:38):
them unless you're searching out fucking clips on YouTube. But anyway,
you got a security guard in Miami. He worked for
the Miami Heat when they were winning championships, and so
he had full access. He was stealing shit. He was
stealing shit. He had so much memorabilia. He had game
(38:58):
warn jerseys, which are very valuable in that in that market.
And one of the jerseys he stole was Lebron James
jersey that he wore when he won the championship. And
you know, initially he stole the jersey and he sold
it to somebody for a hundred hundred thousand dollars, one
(39:24):
hundred thousand. And then somebody who had this jersey that
this security guard sold to him for one hundred thousand,
he turned around and sold it for three point nine
million dollars. And supposedly that wasn't the only thing he sold.
(39:47):
And then they went to his house where they finally
even figured out that, you know, a lot of this
shit was coming from this old security guard. They found
a boatload of stolen stuff at his house. And he's
a deep shit today. Uh. John Korns, Bill Russell on
eleven Championships, g O a T for a rail. All right,
(40:11):
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go hit the like on
the way out. I would appreciate it if you gave
me a few bucks. I saw you gave me a
few bucks, right, Yeah, a few of you gave me
a few bucks, Thank you very much. I'm just crushing
it with the super chats I made. I made six
dollars today. You're jealous, Yeah, I am jealous. I'm jealous
(40:31):
of Howard Start, of course i am. But he's he's
he's a dumb, dumb, dumb person. He doesn't understand why
everyone is passing him by all he has to do?
What else you doing? He takes the whole summer in
this new culture, right, in this new culture. I'm not
gonna lie to you. It's exhausting. If you don't keep
(40:53):
up with your social media, if you're not live streaming
every fucking day, if you're not putting clips up every
fucking day, these people meaning you for you forget about
uh the person immediately you got to constantly be feeding
the beast. And this guy takes the whole summer off.
And then he's wondering why Andy Cohen is the it
girl at Sirious Exam. Oh my goodness, all right, oh yeah,
(41:21):
let's have with this. We were cool on christ Come on, man,
I couldn't be the only one that thought that was
the lyric of that song. We were cool on christ
Dance all days? No, all right, it's we were cool
on Craze. I swear to you. I had no idea
(41:41):
until this morning. None, none, I I was. I was
just like, uh, I was like, uh, you know, scrolling
getting ready for this. I actually show prep now, I
believe or not, I hopefully have noticed that I am
now bringing actual material to these things instead of just
turning this on at babbling and I'm scrolling and I'm
doing show prep. I'm looking at the headline news and
(42:03):
this and that, and all of a sudden there's a guy.
He's awesome, by the way. I almost had him on
the fucking live stream and then I blew it. I
blew it. But he's a blind guy that used to
work for Sirius XM. He's a voice guy. He's got
an insane voice and does very well in that arena.
(42:26):
And he went blind. And he's a blind surfer. Could
you he's a blind surfer? Could you? Could you? There
are times I walk this beach every day right there
are times like I want to see how far I
could walk on the beach with my eyes closed? Anyone
else do this from time to time? And all of
(42:47):
a sudden, after ten feet I opened my eyes. I'm frightened.
And then I'm like, okay, idiot, look down the beach.
There's nothing in your way. Now close your eye eyes,
close your eyes, and see how far you could walk
down the beach without opening your eyes. Right that time,
(43:08):
I lasted twenty feet with that said this guy, he
went blind. He loves surfing. He's like, screw this, I'm
gonna continue. You're gonna continue surfing. So he surfs, and
uh so I was on his TikTok right, and he
was the one that turned me on to he goes.
I never knew that the lyric you know we were
(43:30):
cool on Christ from Dance Hold Days by Wang Chung
is actually we were cool on Craze. Oh my goodness,
close your eyes and walk into traffic. But but mister
Barnes and Nobes, oh Barnes and Nubes, But Barnes and Nubes,
(43:51):
I will get hurd I will I will be hurding.
You don't want me to do that, You really want
me to do that, I would be hurting, hurting. I
don't want to be heard a oh man, he better Jesus, dude,
you're funny, man bro, you don't have to give me
(44:11):
two dollars or these great lines. By the way, I
try not to beg for super chats, but I'm not
gonna lie. When I see a super chat, I get
a little excited. But with that said, Chris, Chris, how
do you say last name? Breets? You know I got
a little I might have a little you know, I
might have a little something something, maybe a little dyslexia.
(44:32):
Maybe I don't know. I was never tested, but I
would be a terrible teacher because I would get all
the names wrong. Chris Breets, I'll go with two dollars.
He better pray for a blind yark. That's how we end, Chris,
you get the ending today. Bravo, sir, bravo,
