Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Firm Presents Show. Well, here we go, the Thursday and
final fifteen minute morning show podcast of the week. There's Froggy,

(00:24):
there's Scotty Be, there's Scary, there's Garrett, there's Gandhi, there's
Straight and Night. There's Danielle and in the den, the
one and only Dave Rody. I've never seen Brody in
a sweatshirt before. Oh yeah, Garrett. Notice he's promoting the
Brooklyn Boys Sweatshow we can't see it? He said, he's
not promoting anything there it is. The thing is that's

(00:45):
not available for sale. So he's this is like a
test marketing situation first, and that's a cute one. We
don't know. Scary, send me one for free. You cannot
send me one different? Rody? How can he can't give
those to us for free? Everyone? How much much? So

(01:06):
much more value from us wearing them and talking about
them than if we just paid you thirty bucks or much.
That's a shample you're wearing. It's not even available yet,
So I'm just saying, I think give him free. That's
a prototype breakfast. Let's start with Froggy. The road to
the super Bowl. He has three more sleeps here on

(01:28):
Thursday till the Super Bowl. Um, you must be feeling
pretty good about the day on the way, I am
a very excited, but we're having a little bit of
a problem in my house. So I have been eating
the same thing since the Buccaneers started their playoff run.
I have started eating the same thing every day each week,
and so it's become a problem because there's only two
more meals left here at home to night and tomorrow night.

(01:51):
Lisa says it's stupid that it has no effect on
the outcome of the game. The same outcome is going
to happen no matter what I eat, and it's disturbing
her ability to have dinner when she gets home from work.
It's affecting her not Here's the thing about those rituals
that people do, like wearing the same underwear for a week. Whatever.

(02:11):
It may not work, but what if it does. You're
you're kind of stuck, right, I said to her last night, proved.
I said, if you could prove to me that it
doesn't work and it has no no effect on the outcome,
then I will give it up. What is it that
you're eating, By the way, oh, tonight's Tonight's meal. Tonight's
meal is a grilled chicken sandwich and French fries. Olay, see,

(02:32):
this happened yesterday in my house because we watched this
one soccer team at Aston Villa, and yesterday Spencer said
to me, Mom, where's my jersey? Because they're gonna lose
without me wearing it. So I washed it for him.
I got it ready, he forgot to put it on
and they lost, and he blames the fact that he
did not put his jersey on. So who's to say?
When will you be eating? Hump some humble pie? Is

(02:55):
that on the menu? Tomorrow night? Pizza for Friday night
is pizza? And then Saturday night we will be in Tampa.
I will find my meal that I need to eat.
I believe I have it all written down on my
phone Saturday and I'll eat in Tampa and then Sunday
wading at the game. So it's just I think that
flew right over his head. I heard what he said.

(03:15):
We're not losing anyways. It doesn't matter that. Wasn't that
a Patriots staying with Bill Belichick when he was with it,
When when Brady was with the team. I don't know.
Let's let's play this out. Let's say the Bucks go
on and win the Super Bowl. So you've been eating
the same food for the last month, correct, for for
a week straight now, and it proves the point that

(03:35):
you know your good luck charm is working. So do
you carry that over and come next September when the
Bucks start playing again, you have to eat the same
amount of food at the same time. Everyone, No, it's
a new season, so we'll start over next year. It's
a new season. Wait are you sure? And then I
will be there for them at the end of the
season when we make our run for two super Bowls

(03:56):
in a row. What if if nothing happen like you
do all of these things and then you guys still lose,
Does that mean you're going to give up every tradition
that you've done this, because it means it wasn't meant
to be and we'll do it next year. No, you
miss you missed something, You actually missed something. Yeah, it's
your fault. It squarely falls on you. That the one

(04:18):
thing my neighbors are finding me if we lose, because
we've been having Super Bowl parties at my house and
everybody sits in the same place, and so they're like,
you're not going to be sitting in your place. If
they lose, it's your fault. And I'm like, no, no, no no, no.
If you don't sit in your place because you're going
to be at the game, then it works. It still works.
May you make your own rules. I think if you

(04:39):
do all these things right and they win, are you
going to feel upset when they don't invite you to
be the grand Wizard of the parades, they don't give
you a bonus? You thank you? If he doesn't give
me the pickup truck at the end. No, I I
will personally know that I had some effect on it,

(05:01):
and I'm sure there will be something coming my way.
I know Garrett is working on something. I don't know
what it is. You'll go to Disney World, Yeah, I'll
do that too. It's a very close drive tween here
and Tampa. Actually, you know, it's funny. There's only one
superstition that I that I do is you see a
penny that's you can only pick it up when its
heads up. If its tails up, I don't pick it up.
That's the only thing I participated. I've seen it. I've

(05:27):
seen it almost fell over shop the Grand Wizard. That's
totally from reference. It's also the KKK. Yeah, do you
have any superstitions? Um, I don't. Don't I have? I do.

(05:52):
For instance, if I'm walking down the steps and I,
like my left heel hits a step, then I have
to eat it out with my right C D C
O C D. If I don't do that, then some
sort of doom is waiting for me at the bottom
of the Oh, yeah, I've done that. I do that too,
So it's not as much superstition, like like black cats. No,
they don't bother me. I'll walk right under a ladder,

(06:13):
bring it my breath when I would pass a cemetery.
But they have a cemetery along the Line Expressway that
is so long that I would pass out. So I
don't do that anymore. Aren't just with like add ten
years if you hold your breath for the entire time
and like adds years to your life or something like that.
I don't know like that. So you know, yesterday I
saw a black cat. And there's only one road into

(06:34):
my neighborhood. After you get into the subdivision, there's only
one road that goes down to the area that I lived.
A black cat ran across the street yesterday, I pulled over.
I pulled over and waited for other cars to pass
first so they could pass the black cat. And then
I went, but wait a minute, it's still your path. No,
it doesn't matter. And no, somebody else had taken that
path already because there was no other way for me

(06:55):
to get home, but I did. I thought it was
your path. The Buccaneers superstition is not you have to
if a black cat crosses your path, it's your path.
Never go home. I had to go home in your car.
Take that path. Now, what happens if you own a
black cat, like my mom owns, a black cat crosses
her path every day. He's don't go down that hallway,

(07:18):
don't go into that bathroom in my car. I'm protected.
That's right. Tell this guy called Scary out for a second,
please do I love that he was making kind of
like rasing Froggy for his superstitions. So in two thousand
and fifteen, some of you will remember this. The Mets
are in the playoffs in the World Series, and Scary
and I went to every game. Well, the first game

(07:39):
they won, Scary had a Met shirt with a coffee
stain on it, and he wouldn't wash, staying coffee at
the game on my shirt. I remember that and right,
but that was only part one. Part two is, at
some point early on in the playoffs, he realized that
when it was two strikes on a batter, if he
stood up and spun around, because we sat behind home plate,
he would spin around and open his jacket and flash

(08:00):
the picture that he would get a strike out. And
that was his routine. So if you watch the footage,
if they ever showed the World Series again on the
Mets channel, you'll see Scary when there's two strikes, stand
up with his coffee stained shirt and spin to get
a strikeout. Did it work? It did not work. He

(08:22):
would make me hold his hamburger, go Brody, hold on,
I gotta spin. And you're I'm not making funny, you really,
I'm just I'm just saying, I don't know. I don't
believe in in many stupid stations, you know, Yeah, except
that one. What Fogg he's doing is nowhere near is

(08:42):
crazy and ludicrous. Is what you did. Yeah, I thought
maybe I could kind of get them like a strike,
strick them out. I'm not as superstitious, but I really
like calculate things in karma. So if something bad happens
to me, I go back and think about anything that
I would have done in the past week or so
or maybe even before that would have caused my karma

(09:02):
cloud to get tainted and then that to happen. But
karma works two different ways. It's either something bad happened
to you because you did something bad or you know
what I'm saying, or you can reverse it by something
bad happens to you. Just know what I'm saying. You
don't know whether you're getting bad stuff handed to you
because of something you did or if I am I

(09:25):
making sense at all, No, it does. Maybe something bad
happening to me could have been like someone else's crappy
karma that I just happened to be caught up in.
I don't know, but I just try to operate from
a stance of like, Okay, hopefully this isn't going to
add crap to my karma cloud. That's karma. I d
may kill so many people. I don't know how he
knows what what what what karma is coming from? Really

(09:49):
question question, not only you know the number of people
you have murdered. Is it the same number of strokes
you've had. Maybe there is a correlation that would be
much high. You know what I'm saying. That means you
have more strokes on the way. I'm not good. He's
like Nate dumps bodies. People are dumping stuff in his dumpster.

(10:14):
I just thought about it. If if Froggy doesn't laugh
at an old person falling down this week, maybe the
Bucks will win the Super Bowl. Well, that's not gonna happen.
Is that karma? I'm not saying that because you haven't
murdered anyone. I don't really, Froggy, I know of nothing
you have done that deserved that was bad karma inducing,

(10:37):
But murdering someone in Nate's case, I see it changed
the subject here. Really, Okay, go ahead. Why you're about
to walk into the super Bowl. You've got your Tom
Brady jersey on. You're all pumped up, ready to go.
Hayden's ready to go. He's all pumped up. You're about
to walk in and somebody stops he and says, hey,
do you have two tickets? And you look at him
and see, yeah, I'm going to give you a hundred

(10:58):
thousand dollars each out those tickets. What you are yourself?
Number one, I could never ever replace the memories that
I'm gonna make with my son at the game. Number two,
one of my best friends in the whole world. It
made it so I can go to this game, and
that would be letting him down, and so I am not. Plus,
he paid way more for this. He would be happy

(11:23):
and then pay it back, paying back the money from
my car writ write a kickoff. Why aren't you in
the game. Well, here's what happened. Let me think if
Froggy called me and said, hey, I just want to
say I love you, thank you for getting these Super
super Bowl tickets for Kayden and me. But a gentleman
offered one hundred thousand dollars per ticket on the way in.

(11:43):
I'm thinking how I would respond to that. Well, first all,
I'd be polite and oh, good for you, you know,
and then I'd hang up the phone and go, either
I love that Froggy, that was a good idea, or sucker,
I'm going I'm going out. Well, I would imagine if
you want, if you got all that money, you'd pay
him back for the tickets. Not at all. No, no, no,

(12:06):
no, no no, no, I don't want to be paid back
for those tickets. That's that's that goes against everything that
they were about. They were given as a gift. I
don't want you to give it. What if you split
the money with you say, hey, Elvis, I sold him
for two it was a gif half your karma. Why
would you ever pay someone for a gift they gave
you because expect people to give I don't even money
people to give me money back to me that I

(12:27):
loaned them. You know all the people have loan money too.
I've never seen any of it money. Subsequent question, Froggy,
Let's say you pass up the gentleman that offered you
two hundred thousand dollars for the tickets, and the bucks
at the end of the first quarter are down thirty
five to nothing. Are you regretting that? Yeah? I think so.

(12:52):
All the memories you could make with your son with
a couple hundred thousand dollars, you don't want eating to
have a hundred thousand dollars. He takes it and they
do a vacation anything. I love that frog. He's a
really good dad. He's like the memories. I'm going to
share it my son. If Katon had the chance of
two grand like Dad, I'm buying a porch, like I'm

(13:16):
taking my chee. He would go to Vegas Anders, but
the really victim really would be Elvis in this he
would be the one because he said he wouldn't know
it would not. It would not. No, I would not.
I know me, I would not. I gave a gift
And that was the end of my participation. Speaking of
Caden in Vegas, so he's about to graduate high school

(13:38):
and he was wanting to go on a on a
trip when when we can travel again? And so we
were talking about going on to Vegas and playing golf
and he goes, well, I don't want to do that.
I can't gamble and I can't go to his trip club.
Yet I'm like, like, what is wartering? He just walked
in the door. Here. You tell them you want to
go to the shirt off Shirt Off. You asked about

(14:03):
the two grand I figured that you go to Vegas. Well,
when you think of Vegas, you think of you think
of clubs, you think of casinos. So they're like, oh,
for your graduation trip, let's go to Vegas. I'm like,
but I have to be twenty one so there's really
no point in going there isn't there is no purpose
to go there gonna have fun? That want all the

(14:24):
fun for my trip down. O. Hey, I got a
question for you. All right, let's hear it. Okay, you
and your dad are walking into the super Bowl. Your
dad's got his Tom Brady jersey on, You're all psyched up,
ready to go. Some guy stops you says, hey, I
see you got a couple of tickets. I want to
give you a hundred thousand dollars for each of those tickets.
What do you do, I'm saying, no, I'm watching my
team with crazy easy, saying the hypothetical if you had

(14:54):
two hundred thousand dollars in cash in front of you,
I think you guys take it by a big team.
Somebody said to say, and the guy rolls up in
a Ferrari and gives you the keys. I want to
I want to call Katon now for a second. So
he came in and he talked about Vegas, and he goes,
you know, you think Vegas, you think casinos, and you
think clubs. Knowing Kayden and knowing his dad, you think

(15:16):
strip clubs. Yeah, well, you didn't say strip club. You're like, oh, clip,
you think clubs and you think you think casinos club
These two are going to Tampa Bay, the strip club
capital of the United States. The memories that dad and
son will have, Frog you, why don't you take him?
I'm not taking him to a strip club. He doesn't,

(15:38):
No way in hell. So what's your price? Guys? What
are you going to give those tickets up for? Don't
say nothing, because that's not even true. Nothing a million dollars?
Maybe it's You're not going to get an answer unless
it was the real deal. Nothink will be worth the
memories we make when the Buccaneers win on Sunday night,

(16:00):
you can make memories of the strip. I got another hypothetical. Alright,
so frog this, this means the Bucks win, you have
to give up every single Apple product and switch over
to Android. I do it. I would try it. I'd

(16:21):
give it a try. If it means the Bucks. No, no, no, no,
it's locked in. Like you can't give it a try,
Like you can't switch over to Apple. You've done with
Apple forever, just because I want them to win that
bad right, you can't get I have a feeling that
we are out of gas. How much hell long was

(16:43):
that one sixteen minutes by weekend, by fifteen minute morning
show
