(00:00):
At least I'm I'm guessing, I'mthinking, I'm hoping that you're there.
I physically can't see you, butyou're good to go. Sorry, Josh
is out of the office at themoment. Please leave a message and I'll
return your call as soon as possible. So, uh, how have you?
How have you been these last coupleof days? I mean you and
I, I mean you were textingwith me a little bit. It was
funny late in the one night whenyou were like sending me some text and

(00:21):
it's so Harry carry me. Yeah, that's really I was just thinking of
you, like I was just becauseI was watching something and this guy goes,
it's like, yeah, you goesyou something about uh yeah, you're
your big genius fellow right there.He goes, why why don't you split
tens again on me? And Ijust thought of you, and I'm like,

(00:41):
hey, Mark, do you splittens as much as I split fours?
You know, I just thought itwas it was funny. It was
just funny. No, it wasgood because uh yeah, every everybody knows.
I mean, if you've been playingfor a little bit of time,
there are people who still do that, who split ends when they're sitting there
playing blackjack, which is you gotthe I guess the old saying goes at

(01:06):
least for somebody that sees and asI am, uh, you got twenty
is in other words, two tens. You don't split them, and anything
that's matched in black a blackjack youcan split, just to kind of set
it up a little bit. Butyeah, tens, that's a twenty and
that's typically a pretty strong hand inblackjack. And let's say on that,
Yeah, unless your dealer hits BJ, I mean, it's you're good,

(01:29):
You're good, You're you're fine.Yeah, I mean worst case scenario barring
no blackjack from the dealer or atleast a twenty one of some sort.
Right, Yeah, you're gonna pushor win in that situation, which most
of the time means that, yeah, the money is at least if you
push, gonna stay in the circleor the little betting area. And then
as opposed to being it, youknow, to having it taken away.

(01:51):
But yeah, I saw too.You were like, uh, I had
a guy contact me, and thisis so funny. It's almost like you
opened up the portal by putting itin text or in writing. You were
like, hey, a. WWrestling had their second biggest event in Las
Vegas, and that was Saturday night. If I'm not mistaken, correct that
was correct. Yeah, you go. It was at MGM Grand Garden Arena

(02:14):
and our favorite you know, youand your son's favorite wrestler had an incredible
return. We lost our minds allof this stuff. And then I'm not
kidding you. I'm playing Blackjacket Parisand a guy is talking to me on
this was Sunday night and he saidhe was there, he had went the
night before it to cool I know, he brought it up. I'm just
like, and it's like you youopened this portal by telling me about it,

(02:38):
and for whatever reason, I foundout this guy sitting with me play
and went to it. Yes,yes, he said it was awesome.
It was. It was incredible.It was incredible. The return of Maxwell
Jacob Freeman MJF was awesome, Andyeah it was. It was a good
time and my son and I justreally enjoyed it. And that's just I

(03:00):
know a lot of people like rolltheir eyes, you know, it's like,
oh my gosh, wrestling. Youknow it's fair, right, that's
not the whole point. The pointis I have some of the greatest memories
I have with my father. We'rewatching Hawk Cogan versus like Andre the Giant
at WrestleMania in the eighties. It'ssomething that my son and I bond over.

(03:21):
And it's what's the difference between thatand is somebody watching the Kardashians.
You know what I'm saying, like, that's you do you let us do
it. I've never understood people needto feel feel the need to criticize other's
chosen form of entertainment. I Idon't get that. Yeah, And the
other thing with that is it's beennicknamed, you know for you know,

(03:45):
like what soap operas they call themstories, But then they say that wrestling
like it's like the guy soap operaif you will. Sure, and yeah,
it's a similar kind of a atleast it's been slapped with that label.
And I think it's accurate actually too, because once upon a time I
did watch it religiously and now notas much. But sure, yeah,
Well, by the way, telltell tell Adam Copeland who jumped off a

(04:11):
cage Saturday night and fractured fractured hisbones. Tell him and it has surgery
and now is out indefinitely. Telltell that guy that, well, that's
all fake. There's nothing fake whenyou jump twenty feet off the top of
a steel cage, my friend,No, exactly, there's nothing fake about
that. Yeah, that cement isnot fake. That table that he went
through is not outside the head.Now do they go full force? No,

(04:35):
when they're hitting them with chairs andthey head all of that kind of
stuff. But I also thought itwas interesting. So were you talking about
the one wrestler that said his nextstop was the back in All Buffet,
which is inside Caesar's. Is thatthe wrestler who said that, I don't
you would put something about that textsaying I forget, I forget you said

(04:56):
he was doing his post match presserand he said his next stop was and
All Buffet. Yes, that's right, Yeah, that's right. I believe
that was uh, I believe thatwas Strickland. But well, anyway,
my point is we had just missedit. But I guess there was a
lady in there that was near becausethey have like crab legs and it's pretty
it's crazy. It's like ninety dollarsor something like that to go there,

(05:17):
and there was a lady there thatthere was some butter near like the seafood
on the floor, and she wentdown. So she's like trying to there's
a there's talk of that she's goingto possibly try to sue them or what
have you. But I'm telling you, inside that place on the floor,
you got it really especially come on, man, think about it. It's
a buffet, right, I mean, that's where people are just dropping stuff

(05:39):
everywhere. They're eating one bite ofsomething on their plate and there's like a
whole plate of food left. Itgets wasted and stuff ends up all over
the floor. But this lady's tryingit. She went down, I guess.
I was talking to somebody who wasthere during it and was telling me
about this lady going and said itwas pretty brutal, you know what I
mean. So man, you canget seriously hurt like that. Oh yeah,
yeah, dude, I mean yeah, that's that's lawsuits. So yeah,

(06:01):
yeah, no question about that.How was your golfing? Did you
hit him? Well? Did youplay great? Did you take your buddy's
money? Like? What's up?Well, we didn't actually bet, he
and I didn't didn't actually bet,but he The Rio Seco is the first
one that we played. Then Weplayed a place called Cascatta yesterday and I
posted some stuff on Facebook, soif you're really interested in seeing that.

(06:25):
But this Cascatta place, first ofall, I'm sorry, let me back
up Rio seco Is. Butch Harmonhe set up there. They said they
they thought he was there when wewere there, but we didn't see him
anywhere. But ch Arma of course, the famed coach and teachers, if
you will, and his whole areais set up on the other end of
the range. It was really coollooking at that. The backdrop of that

(06:46):
place. Josh, you got twentythirty. We saw one of the Holmes
thirty five million that was sold listedon that course. There's yeah, there's
some I guess famous people on there, but they wouldn't tell us exactly who.
These houses all over this course arejust ridiculous and there's so much there's
so much style. It's not likea bunch of the same houses in a

(07:08):
row. There's all so different andit's just an it's a spectacle. And
then you know Cascota is a masterpiece. That place is an actual masterpiece.
There were desert big horned sheep inthere, like on seventeen Fairway, just
staring at us, and then twoof them reared up and we're getting ready
to smack heads like they were doingall all that real like classic stuff that

(07:31):
they do. We saw, youknow, a lot of the wildlife,
the snakes and stuff, because thereare no homes out there where Cascotta is.
It's just carved through the mountains andit is. It is ridiculous,
man, it is. I highlysuggest if you're a golfer you love the
game, if you get a chance, you got to play that place out
here. It is absolutely a ten. It is totally worth it. I
mean it was. It was incredible, man. It was incredible that I

(07:56):
actually hit it. Okay, youknow, I birdied, I had already
on the front and on the backa couple pars and then took some triples,
some doubles and so on. Butboth days, surprisingly enough with I
hadn't really I haven't golf since lastOctober, and then went my knee and
stuff. I thought, you know, I don't know how this is gonna
go. But everything's good. Everything'sawesome. That yeah, go figure.

(08:18):
You know. Speaking of everything's good, how about that father and the Virginia
father that was arrested in Turks andCaicos in this cool that he's being he's
being let loose, but he gottahe's got to pay nine thousand dollars.
Fine. I saw that, andI don't know exactly did you. I
was seeing that when I saw hisaccount of because this was pretty interesting how

(08:39):
he kind of he kind of laidout the way it was a backpack.
He hadn't used it in a whilepreviously for carrying supplies in his car going
to the shooting range. He said, he checked it, went through TSA
security, and went through port securityin Miami, and about a day and
a half to sail to Grand Turk, and we spent the day he was

(09:00):
talking about where he was. Itwas about eight or nine hours we spent
on the island. Then I wasboarding the ship, the Royal Caribbean Cruise
Ship. They scanned the bag,they found one bullet, scanned it again,
found a second bullet. And sothis guy was staring down the barrel
of what twelve years twelve years?Yes, crazy. And what's even crazier

(09:20):
is the man who is mainly responsiblefor the negottiated release of this guy,
Senator John Fetterman. I'm not jokingSenator John Fetterman negotiated the release of this
guy because apparently after Fetterman got hiswhatever his he had that deal with his
brain being all, he went torehab. Now all of a sudden,

(09:43):
he's come out and he's like,you know, he's like a savant,
like, I'm agreeing with almost everythingJohn Fettererman, Like, did they replace
his brain with a conservative or aRepublican's brain? Like? Is that what
the secret surgery was? Like?What is going on with makes sense?
No? Right? No, whatthey did was they made his brain normal,

(10:03):
and then the things that we sithere and rail against every day finally
clicked in his brain because it's normalnow. And he goes, well,
wait a minute, this administration isa bunch of idiots. Why are they
wanting this? And then he's inthis. He's good now, it is
amazing. He pushed, He pushedback against. Over the weekend he took

(10:24):
on he said, I had somepretty harsh words for the progressive wing of
the party, pushing you know,essentially woke ideology. He is talked about
how we do need to secure theborder and do it now. He's talked
about how support we support Israel overterrorists and moss, you know, like
all. And now he's negotiating aguy who had no idea, who had

(10:48):
was completely harmless father to get releasedafter and not spend twelve years in a
foreign prison. Dude, that isnot the That is not the guy who
once said the Eagles are better thanthe Eagles, you know what I mean?
Like that. This is a totallydifferent person. Now. I'm sure

(11:09):
there's gonna be one hundred different things. You guys, all I can hear.
He's still so good. But yeah, I got it. The point
is to go from stupid and crazyto like on point and making sense and
doing good stuff like I gotta giveit credit where credits to. Yeah,
yeah, that's crazy. I hadno idea about that. So that's an
interesting little nugget there, Biden.So I just saw this pop I just

(11:31):
it popped up on my phone fromone of the one of the TV stations
there that Biden's going to be formallynominated as the presidential nominee through a virtual
roll call ahead of the party's officialconvention in Chicago and August. Of course,
did you see this yet? It'slet me see, let me see,

(11:52):
let me see this maneuver is goingto allow Biden to appear on the
November ballot blah blah blah, andthe president would otherwise be formally nominated.
Now again, this just popped upwhile we were literally on the air,
So I kind of lallmakers who movedthe deadline in the past for candidates for
both parties. They had not doneso yet for Biden this year were called

(12:15):
a rare special session. Well wesaw the wine called everybody back in virtual
proceedings will allow Biden and Vice PresidentHarris to get the party's formal nod and
it'll be very similar to the processusing twenty twenty when the convention went virtual
because of the pandemic. Okay,it also reduces the chances for an unscripted
moment during the party's highly produced Chicagoconvention that it says could embarrass Biden.

(12:39):
Oh, it's happened, That's gonnahappen anyway. I predict riots. I
predict a repeated nineteen sixty eight inChicago. I do. I mean,
like, I think all these communistlosers in their waving their Palestinian terrorist flags,
I think they're going to cause troublethat you know them and the Antifa

(13:01):
and BLM crowd, they're all goingto coordinate and drop upon that place and
by it's either that or they're goingto turn lock it down like basically the
way they did after January sixth tothe Capitol, Like you won't be able
to get within so many different blocksof the Democrat Convention now, will they're

(13:22):
be chaos on the streets. Idon't know, But dude, there's a
time bomb waiting to go off onthat part with that party this summer.
It'll be like basically kind of aPentagon style. They'll be like different layers
exactly, layers of security. Yeah, you're probably right. The DNC didn't
say when this virtual roll call isgoing to take place. They're they're kind

(13:43):
of speculating in the weeks after theCommittee's Rules and Bylaws Committee votes to propose
changes to the roll call process.That committee vote is scheduled for June fourth,
So they gave that little tidbit.But yeah, it's still a little
bit is generic or vague, butbut that literally just popped. So I

(14:03):
thought that was kind of interesting thatwe, you know, we at least
mentioned that at this point because we'veall said it a million Times and everybody
that's reporting on this. I lovehow they're trying to make a story out
of this, knowing good and wellthat he's going to end up on the
ballot here in Ohio. You know, it's just that's how I listened.
I want I want to mock hercymanifest. I want tolike unlike them.

(14:28):
I'm not trying to keep my anybodyoff the ballot. However, I would
have laughed my you know what offif he had not made the ballot,
just it would be karma. Butdo the right thing, and just you
know, it's not going to matter. Trump's gonna win by ten to fifteen
points in Ohio. I mean,it's not. Biden won't even campaign here.
I still maintain that it would havebeen funny had it played out that

(14:52):
way where he didn't end up onthe ballot. But in my heart of
hearts, I knew that that wasnot going to end up being the case.
But again, and we've said thistoo, but I just want to
point it out again. Looked howhard, look how hard that they were
railing against him being on certain differentstates. They were trying to so if
they had the chance, if thiswere reversed. We've already seen them trying

(15:13):
to do this. Oh yeah.And I don't know how EASi or hard
it would be to try to continuedown this road and really keep him off.
I don't know how all of thatworks. I don't have a political
enough brain, I don't have enoughbackstory. I don't know any of that
stuff. All I know is thatif they were able to do it to
Donald Trump, we saw them alreadytry, bringing of course the Supreme Court

(15:35):
into this and everything else they were, they would try. They would do
it if they could. There's nodoubt about it, you know. I
no, of course, there's nodoubt about it. There's there's zero,
there's I got. I got moreconfidence that in that they would have done
that than the sun coming up tomorrow. I mean, you know,
